Une « république des sentiments blessés » ? Censure(s), communautés vulnérables et guerres culturelles en Inde
Authors: Zecchini Laetitia
Published: June 2020

Qu’est-ce que cela signifie, dans le contexte indien, de dire que des mots ou des œuvres blessent ou « font mal » ? Cet article étudie l’enchevêtrement spécifique entre rhétorique de la censure, d’une part, et langage et performance des émotions de l’autre. À travers le cas du peintre M. F. Husain et de la mobilisation du collectif d’artistes Sahmat, il s’agit de comprendre la manière dont la blessure ou la douleur sont utilisées et distribuées dans le champ des discours et des mobilisations en faveur des pratiques de régulation artistique et culturelle, donc de la censure, mais aussi dans le champ des mobilisations et des discours de résistance à celle-ci.
Les affres de la disparition de la censure
Authors: Esquerre Arnaud
Published: June 2020

On peut distinguer deux formes de « censure » : une censure institutionnelle, reconnue comme telle par une institution, comme l’État ou une Église, et qui a été pratiquée en France pour le cinéma jusque dans les années 1970 ; une censure accusatoire, qui s’est développée largement à partir de Mai 68 et de la disparition de la censure institutionnelle, et qui a été théorisée notamment par Pierre Bourdieu, Jacques Derrida et Judith Butler. Toutefois, il est resté, en France, une action de « classification » des films au début du xxi e  siècle exercée par l’État, qui est difficilement compatible avec les théories d’une censure accusatoire.
Diversité et minorités au prisme de réformes éducatives. Approche comparative de la “Révolution du bon sens” en Ontario (Canada) et des “Écoles de demain” en Nouvelle-Zélande
Authors: Bélanger Nathalie
Published: June 2020

Dans un aller-retour mariant des points de vue extérieur et intérieur à la suite d’un séjour de recherche prolongé, il s’agit de mettre en parallèle deux espaces qui ont en commun des minorités linguistiques : de langue française en Ontario et de langue maorie en Nouvelle-Zélande (Aotearoa). Les politiques d’orientation néolibérale adoptées dans les années 1980 et 1990 dans les deux cas étudiés (la Révolution du bon sens dans le premier, Écoles de demain dans le second), malgré la rationalisation engendrée, ont ouvert la voie à des discours en faveur de la diversité et de la reconnaissance de groupes autrefois exclus dans l’espoir que les résultats scolaires de tous les élèves allaient s’accroitre. Si ces discours véhiculent un message positif et inclusif, le risque de masquer et d’accentuer les différences socioéconomiques qui ne sont plus prises en compte dans ces discours est discuté. L’importance de retracer l’histoire des luttes et des positionnements dans une approche complexe tenant compte à la fois des enjeux de reconnaissance et des inégalités socioéconomiques est proposée.
Éduquer à la laïcité ? Généalogie d’une pédagogisation
Authors: Ferhat Ismail
Published: June 2020

Au sein du système éducatif français, la volonté d’éduquer à la laïcité est aujourd’hui largement partagée, tant par les autorités administratives que par les prescripteurs politiques, suscitant de nombreux travaux savants. S’appuyant à la fois sur de nombreuses sources archivistiques et documentaires et sur la notion de “pédagogisation” développée par Depaepe et Smeyers (2008), l’auteur retrace la généalogie méconnue de cette demande. Enracinée dans la montée des dispositifs réglementaires sur le sujet, l’éducation à la laïcité ne s’est que récemment imposée, après une longue période où la notion était peu présente dans les programmes scolaires. Cette pédagogisation garde néanmoins trace de sa dualité originelle, entre souhait pédagogique et souci disciplinaire.
Qu’est-ce qu’un parlementaire de 1848 ? Esquisse de portrait
Authors: Anceau Éric
Published: June 2020

Cet article porte sur les membres de l’Assemblée nationale constituante d’avril 1848. Ce corpus qui occupe une place centrale au sein du personnel dirigeant de la Deuxième République, née seulement deux mois plus tôt, a été l’objet d’un grand débat historiographique que l’on peut aujourd’hui partiellement trancher grâce à une enquête approfondie. L’article propose un portrait de groupe de ces constituants au moment de leur élection. Il revient ensuite sur leur évolution politique rapide dans le contexte mouvementé de l’été 1848 puis de l’élection présidentielle de décembre suivant. Il suit enfin leur parcours de la séparation de la Constituante à la Troisième République.

Dengue fever is a re-emergent mosquito-borne disease, which prevails in tropical and subtropical regions, mainly in urban and peri-urban areas. Its incidence has increased fourfold since 1970, and dengue fever has become the most prevalent mosquito-borne disease in humans now. In order to study the effect of temperature on the dengue virus transmission, we formulate a dengue virus transmission model with maturation delay for mosquito production and seasonality. The basic reproduction number $\mathbb{R}_0$ of the model is computed, and results suggest that the dengue fever will die out if $\mathbb{R}_0$ < 1, and there exists at least one positive periodic solution and the disease will persist if $\mathbb{R}_0$ > 1. Theoretical results are applied to the outbreak of dengue fever in Guangdong province, China. Simulations reveal that the temperature change causes the periodic oscillations of dengue fever cases, which is good accordance with the reported cases of dengue fever in Guangdong province. Our study contributes to a better understanding of dengue virus transmission dynamics and proves beneficial in preventing and controlling of dengue fever.

Authors: Zhu Tiejun
Published: June 2020

At the turn of 2019-2020, a new epidemic broke out in China. China has entered the critical stage of epidemic prevention and control. And The severe situation has led to the failure of normal opening of new semester in Chinese colleges and universities. In order to effectively guarantee the education, teaching and talent cultivation in colleges and universities, the Ministry of education of China has rapidly put forward the requirements of launching online teaching. Therefore, under the situation of Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (Hereinafter referred to as 2019-nCoV) prevention and control, online teaching in Chinese colleges and universities is widely used and develops rapidly. However, the demand for online education has been released in a short time and on a large scale, and each online teaching platform has encountered unprecedented pressure and challenges. In this regard, based on the situation of 2019-nCoV prevention and control in China, this paper demonstrates how the Chinese government deploy online teaching in an all-round way with specific measures, how the Chinese colleges and universities implement massive online teaching quickly, how teachers and students adapt to online teaching quickly. At the same time, this paper carries out empirical analysis to show the process and effectiveness of online teaching in Chinese colleges and universities in the unprecedented state of 2019-nCoV prevention and control with specific examples. On this basis, it analyzes and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages, so as to facilitate the later improvement and provide reference.
L’enfant à l’écran : une figure du résistant
Authors: Brémard Bénédicte
Published: June 2020

Cet article est consacré au rôle de l’enfant dans des fictions espagnoles et hispanoaméricaines récentes, en particulier, dans El florido pensil (Juan José Porto, 2002) et dans la série télévisée Cuéntame como pasó. Nous tendons à mettre en lumière l’aspect ambigu de l’enfant en tant que figure de résistant, dans la mesure où il est, à la fois, emblématique d’une liberté que l’on veut opprimer, objet du regard bienveillant du spectateur et vecteur d’une certaine nostalgie de l’enfance et de l’innocence, y compris quand ladite époque coincide avec la dictature.
« Lost in Le quichotte » : la création ou le chaos
Authors: Ressot Jean-Pierre
Published: June 2020

Au départ ces deux réalisateurs étaient des assistants engagés par le cinéaste américain Terry Gilliam, pour un projet qui devait être une version filmée du Don Quichote de Cervantes. Les principaux acteurs étaient Jean Rochefort, Johnny Depp et Vanessa Paradis. Le tournage avait lieu en Espagne. Mais le projet de Fulton va se heurter à une accumulation de problèmes : les prises de vues en extérieur sont ratées (entre autres), à cause de gros orages, de bruits d’avion et les lieux de tournage en intérieur sont inadéquats. Mais le pire, c’est l’absence des acteurs. Si Johnny Depp est là quelques jours, Rochefort, cloué au lit par une hernie discale, abandonne le plateau. Quant à Vanessa Paradis, on ne la verra pas. C’est alors que Fulton et Pepe ont l’idée géniale d’exploiter le désastre pour en faire un film réussi. Ils utiliseront d’abord des images du tournage, aussi bien les rushes que des images des cinéastes au travail, mais aussi et, surtout, dans le même film ils créeront un dessin animé qui évoque la catastrophe avec un humour et une qualité d’image remarquables.Al inicio, estos dos directores fueron unos asistentes contratados por el director norteamericano Terry Gilliam, para un proyecto que debía ser una versión filmada del Don Quichote de Cervantes.

Primero, sacaron provecho de imágenes del rodaje, tanto rushes como imágenes de los cineastas trabajando. Más, crearon en el mismo filme una secuencia de animación que evoca la catástrofe con un sentido del humor y una calidad de imágenes notables.
L’éco-ontogenèse : les relations à l’environnement dans le développement humain. D’autres rapports au monde pour d’autres développements
Authors: Berryman Tom
Published: June 2020

Cet article présente une proposition de situation éducative résultant d’une recherche de développement théorique centrée sur l’analyse de thèses proposant des modèles du développement humain (ontogenèse) où les liens à l’environnement (éco) sont pris en considération (Berryman, 2002). La proposition résulte notamment de l’analyse des thèses et modèles de développement de Louise Chawla, de David Hutchison, de Harold Searles, de Paul Shepard et de David Sobel. L’analyse des thèses et la proposition de situation éducative sont faites en comparant les relations à l’environnement durant la petite enfance, l’enfance et l’adolescence. L’éco-ontogenèse devient ainsi un autre prisme permettant entre autres de questionner et d’enrichir le champ théorique ainsi que les pratiques d’éducation relative à l’environnement.
Opportunistic Behaviour and Psychological Contract between Employer and Employee
Authors: Navaratne N. N. J.
Published: June 2020

It is assumed that employment agreement is not perfect or complete because, it never offers an account of virtues such as benevolence, effort, knowledge, or courage and it implies that the economic agent is “lawabiding” but not “fair”. In a sense, what is legal does not equal to what is moral. Moreover, imperfect or incomplete agreement may create residual or remaining rights for both the employer (the contract maker) and employee (the contract maker) by nurturing an environment to get an opportunistic behaviour. But moral or ethical values such as justice from an employer and commitment from an employee changes individuals’ utility or well-being function. Therefore, can assume that a decline from the opportunistic behaviour. In addition it may facilitate long-term psychological contract by creating a balance between how the employee is treated by the employer and what the employee puts into the job while minimizing opportunistic behaviour between them. Thus, all forms of justice and commitment are negatively related to opportunistic behaviour while positively influencing psychological contract. Using survey data collected from two hundred and seventy three, (273) fulltime employees at fourteen (14) manufacturing companies in the apparel industry in Sri Lanka, this study empirically tested the relationship between organizational justice from the employer perspective and commitment from the employee perspective as the originators of the psychological contract. The results of Correlation Test and Chi-Squared Test show a positive association among justice and commitment behaviour. Moreover, the findings of the research suggest that the utmost importance of moral or ethical values as an essential part of the business strategic decision-making behaviour.
Immune Autoregulatory CD8 T Cells Require IFN-γ Responsiveness to Optimally Suppress Central Nervous System Autoimmunity
Authors: Boyden Alexander W. , Brate Ashley A. , Stephens Laura M. , Karandikar Nitin J.
Published: June 2020

Investigating the complex cellular interplay controlling immunopathogenic and immunoregulatory responses is critical for understanding multiple sclerosis (MS) and for developing successful immunotherapies. Our group has demonstrated that CNS myelin-specific CD8 T cells unexpectedly harbor immune regulatory capacity in both mouse and human. In particular, PLP178-191–specific CD8 T cells (PLP-CD8) robustly suppress the MS mouse model experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. We have recently shown that this depends on PLP-CD8 elaborating IFN-γ and perforin in a coordinated suppression program over time. However, the cellular target and downstream effects of CD8 T cell–derived IFN-γ remains poorly understood. In this study, we show that although wild-type (WT) PLP-CD8 were robustly suppressive in IFN-γR–deficient mice, IFN-γR–deficient PLP-CD8 exhibited suboptimal suppression in WT mice. Compared with WT counterparts, IFN-γR–deficient PLP-CD8 were defective in suppressing disease in IFN-γ–deficient recipients, a scenario in which the only IFN-γ available to WT PLP-CD8 is that which they produce themselves. Further, we found that IFN-γR–deficient PLP-CD8 exhibited altered granzyme/IFN-γ profiles, altered migration in recipients, and deficits in killing capacity in vivo. Collectively, this work suggests that IFN-γ responsiveness allows myelin-specific CD8 T cells to optimally perform autoregulatory function in vivo. These insights may help elucidate future adoptive immunotherapeutic approaches for MS patients.

Published: June 2020

Uterine fibroids are the commonest uterine neoplasms, they are benign tumors of smooth muscle origin. The study was done to look for the  anatomical locations of uterine fibroids and their incidence in Sudanese women at Omdurman Maternity Hospital between 1st July 2014 to 5th October 2015. Their sociodemographic and ultrasound data were collected using a prepared questionnaire. The study included 138 confirmed cases of uterine fibroids out of 2968 investigated cases representing incidence rate of 4.6%. The highest incidence was found in the age group 36-40 years. Most dominant anatomical locations of uterine fibroids were intramural as a single mass (34.78%), followed by the intramural-subserosal in multiple masses (20.29%). The anatomical positions of uterine fibroids, posterior position was seen in (27.5%) which was the most dominant in single uterine fibroid mass, followed by the anterior-posterior position in multiple uterine one (18.1%). Intramural anatomical locations in single mass are the commonest uterine fibroids types which affect the Sudanese women.

Adverse Economic Impact by Rohingya Refugees on Bangladesh: Some Way Forwards
Authors: Syed Magfur Ahmad  , Nasruzzaman Naeem
Published: June 2020

This paper aims to analyse the adverse effects of the Rohingya influx on the economy of Bangladesh in recent years. Since the independence of Bangladesh, it has been gone through many ups and downs in the country's economic movement. The per capita income of the country has exceeded about two thousand US dollars. All the development indicators are upward in GDP. Rohingya people in Rakhine state, Myanmar have been facing decades of planned discrimination, statelessness, and targeted violence. For many years this kind of torture over the innocent Rohingya women, girls, boys and men has forced them to the influx to Bangladesh. The rapid spread of the Rohingya crisis also has been surprising for last three years to the Bangladesh government. From social to economic, economic to politics Rohingya refugees have impacts into the country. This research paper follows the empirical and narrative oriented research design in relation to find out the negative economic impact of the Rohingya influx to Bangladesh. One of the principal aims of the findings of this paper is to draw the attention of the policymakers and other concerns about the deleterious effects of the influx both in the future and present conditions. First and foremost, the negative impact of the Rohingya influx to Bangladesh on the economy is the increased cost of living and regional employment crisis. Moreover, a huge fall of the daily wage amount can be noticed. Furthermore, the country is facing a noticeable loss in the tourism sector and government expenditure on the health and security sector has risen since 2017. Hence, the government of Bangladesh should take necessary steps for the effective repatriation process without any delay to mitigate the financial cost burden.
Canine mammary cancer
Authors: Clavijo-Maldonado Alejandro , Ferreira Enio , Vargas-Hernández Carlos , Rivera-Páez Fredy A.
Published: June 2020

Canine mammary cancer (CMC) is one of the most common neoplasms in intact females in comparison to other species. Several risk factors have
been identified, including breed, genetic predisposition, age, reproductive history, hormonal influence, diet, and body condition, in addition to previous lesions to the mammary gland, such as mammary atypical hyperplasia. An understanding of the genetic markers for the disease and a clinical approach are important for establishing a specific therapy that can allow adequate patient survivorship. Overexpression of the HER-2 gene in canines and humans is associated with a poor clinical prognosis, mainly short survivorship, although the clinical relationship is not clear. The incidence of HER-2 in female dogs can range from 29.7% to 38%. However, overexpression of HER-2 is not necessarily associated with malignancy processes of the mammary tissue, although it participates in cellular proliferation. Finally, canines remain one of the most important models for comparative oncology
with humans due to the great similarity in the spontaneous presentation
and development of cancer, and in the high homology in the amino acid sequence.
International university rankings as a quality measure for the Spanish universities
Authors: García F.
Published: June 2020

In Spain, the functions assigned to the University are varied and have changed over time. Currently, it is considered that university activity should be focused on improving the well-being of the society in which the university is located. Thus, any quality control of the Spanish university system must consider whether the university is fulfilling the purposes that society has assigned to it. In Spain, the task of quality control of universities is mainly assigned to the National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA). In principle, through different programs, this agency evaluates different aspects of the Universities. However, as can be seen in this research, the control activity is limited to university degrees and the activity of the teaching staff. Moreover, this control hardly measures to what extent the University system is achieving its goals.
A methodology in choosing a new compatible function in the recovery project of disused religious buildings. Research study in Italy
Authors: Ribera Federica , Cucco Pasquale
Published: June 2020

The phenomenon of abandoned religious buildings is today felt in many countries of the world and particularly in Europe, where the problem has taken on such dimensions as to worry the ecclesiastical institutions, which are encouraging to work with particular caution in order to avoid improper use and to consider each case according to its historical peculiarities. The topic involves many actors (clergy, population, associations, tourists, traders, etc.) since it has several meanings: Social, because religious buildings have held together many generations; Economic, because these places fascinate foreign visitors; Environmental, because their physical presence in the urban or rural landscape revives contexts and traditions; Cultural, because sacred buildings represent the largest portfolio of European historical heritage. From 2018, the Holy See encouraged to produce recommendations especially oriented towards new functional, social and architectural choices able to preserve both the material and spiritual value of the artefacts over time.

By starting from an analysis of the theme, the contribution provides a methodological approach in searching for a new compatible function, in accordance with the new programmatic guidelines and the principles of the discipline of architectural conservation and recovery, applying it to the case of the old abandoned convents in the historical centre of Salerno in Italy.

Published: June 2020

Wanting to answer the questions unsolved by a previous study supported by a survey with total station, this article illustrates the results obtained with 3D laser scanning acquisitions and photo shot datasets. The precision provided by the phase shift ranging scanner technology has allowed to measure to the millimeter the deviation between the surveyed model (objective of reality, although discontinuous) and the geometric model on these data interpreted. In addition, the mathematical hypotheses useful for parametric modelling (geometry processing) are discussed. Virtualizations have been created by adopting knowledge filters and scientific tools that address to the digital (re)construction (HBIM) that allows to share and manage information and to integrate interoperable models in accordance with current public procurement regulations.
Speleothems in quartz-sandstone caves of Ponta Grossa municipality, Campos Gerais region, Paraná state, southern Brazil

Published: June 2020

The present communication characterizes and discusses the genesis of cave speleothems developed in Furnas Formation (Silurian-Devonian) and Vila Velha sub-unit (Campo Mourão Formation, Upper Carboniferous) quartz-sandstones, in southern Brazil. The research, which involved stratigraphic and petrographic studies, was conducted to identify the faciological context of occurrence of these features, and to determine, through different analytical methods, their mineralogical composition and porosity, and also the action of microbial markers on the genesis of these secondary mineral deposits. The speleothems were classified into six types based on form, composition and genesis: (1) arborescent (coral), (2) mushroom-shaped, (3) stalactitic, (4) stalagmitic, (5) columnar with horizontal/ascending growth, and (6) fibrous. In response to substrate permoporosity, speleothems develop on all sandstone facies of the study area, mainly in sites controlled by bedding, stratification and fracturing planes. They are less frequent, however, in conglomerate and silty-clayey layers of the Furnas Formation, being composed mainly of silica (opal-A and cryptocrystalline silica) and kaolinite, with lesser contribution of gypsum and amorphous iron oxides associated with goethite and hematite. Detritic minerals such as quartz and muscovite also take part in the composition of these features. Plant and invertebrate fragments were identified, including biosignatures and microorganisms capable of favoring precipitation of silica (possibly cyanobacteria and diatom) and iron oxide (possibly Gallionella ferruginea). Such biosignatures and extracellular polymeric substances (biofilms) associated with speleothems are evidence of organomineralization, also known as biologically induced mineralization. The results, which indicate biological action on the genesis of speleothems, raise further discussion on the influence of microorganisms on the dissolution and precipitation of silica and kaolinite in the region.
The Antarctic sea ice cover from ICESat-2 and CryoSat-2: freeboard, snow
depth and ice thickness
Authors: Kacimi Sahra , Kwok Ron
Published: June 2020

Abstract. We offer a view of the Antarctic sea ice cover from lidar (ICESat-2) and radar (CryoSat-2) altimetry, with retrievals of freeboards, snow depth, and ice volume that span an 8-month winter between April 2019 and November 2019. Snow depths are from freeboard differences. The multiyear ice in the West Weddell sector stands out with a mean sector thickness > 2 m. Thinnest ice is found near polynyas (Ross Sea and Ronne) where new ice areas are exported seaward and entrained in the surrounding ice cover. For all months, the results suggest that ~ 60–70 % of the total freeboard is comprised of snow. The remarkable response of the ice cover to mechanical convergence in the coastal Amundsen Sea, associated with onshore winds, was captured in the correlated increase in local freeboards and thickness. While the spatial patterns in the freeboard, snow depth, and thickness composites are as expected, the observed seasonality in these variables is surprisingly weak likely attributable to competing processes (snowfall, snow redistribution, snow-ice formation, ice deformation, basal growth/melt) that contribute to uncorrelated changes in the total and radar freeboards. Broadly, evidence points to biases in CryoSat-2 freeboards of at least a few centimeters from high salinity snow (> 10 psu) in the basal layer resulting in lower/higher snow depth/ice thickness retrievals although the extent of these areas cannot be established in the current data set. Adjusting CryoSat-2 freeboards by 3/6 cm gives a circumpolar ice volume of 14,700/12,400 km3 in October, for an average thickness of ~ 1.09/0.93 m. Validation of Antarctic sea ice parameters remains a challenge, there are no seasonally and regionally diverse data sets that could be used to assess these large-scale satellite retrievals.
A Tale of Two Labels: The Use of “Modernism” and “Avant-Garde” in the Reception of Tom Mccarthy's c
Authors: Kersten Dennis , Wilbers Usha
Published: June 2020

This article presents the results of an innovative in-depth investigation of the reception of Tom McCarthy's novel C (2010), with the purpose of shedding more light on the use of labels associated with “Modernism” in the interpretation of contemporary British fiction. Focusing on the occurrence of the words “Modernism” and “avant-garde,” it combines quantitative analysis and detailed reading in order to answer the question how the two labels are defined when they are used in reference to C. The article aims to make a contribution to the on-going “Metamodernism” debate and its discussion of new developments in art after the demise of Postmodernism. Its main conclusion is that reviewers tend to interpret the two labels historically, which may be a consequence of the novel's setting in time. The research proves how essential it is to study the reception of novels across different cultural realities.

Este texto se propone mostrar la relación entre las vivencias de reconocimiento de personas con discapacidad y su logro en la confguración de estilos de vida independiente. Se acude al método hermenéutico y al análisis bajo los postulados de la teoría fundamentada y el análisis de contenido. Se halla que el desarrollo de autoconfanza, autorrespeto y autoestima, considerados fnes prácticos del reconocimiento, favorecen estilos de vida independiente en personas con discapacidad. Igualmente se encuentra que estas personas tienen experiencias denominadas enemigas del reconocimiento, que las ubica en desventaja para el logro de la autonomía y la independencia. Es importante reﬂexionar sobre las concepciones de discapacidad para trascender la mirada de benefcencia y facilitar la vida independiente.

El presente trabajo busca dar cuenta de cómo se construyen las relaciones entre las personas sordas y oyentes que conforman la comunidad sorda de la Asociación de Personas Sordas de Ourense (APSOU). A través de la inmersión en sus dinámicas de interacción, es posible ofrecer una descripción etnográfca sobre las formas de ser del –otro– sordo como minoría lingüística y cultural. Los criterios de exclusión en su comunidad se articulan en torno a la construcción de límites de acceso al –otro– oyente. Por su parte, -las fórmulas de inclusión-, necesitan de la consolidación identitaria como persona sorda, así como de la incorporación de la propia lengua –de signos– y cultura. La comprensión de la dualidad identidad/otredad a partir de las capacidades culturales desarrolladas, permite orientar la intervención social con el colectivo de personas sordas desde una perspectiva sociocultural en oposición a una médica-rehabilitadora basada en las nociones de minusvalía o discapacidad.
El estudio de la distrofia muscular de Duchenne: más allá del ángulo médico | The study of Duchenne muscular dystrophy: beyond the medical angle

La distrofa muscular de Duchenne (DMD) es una enfermedad neuromuscular hereditaria y degenerativa que afecta a uno por cada 3500 a 6000 varones recién nacidos. Se ha estudiado principalmente desde una perspectiva médica. Se realizó una revisión narrativa con el objetivo de analizar algunos estudios que abordan la DMD desde una perspectiva psicosocial, incluidos los temas de interés, dónde, quién y cómo se ha estudiado, además de qué modelos de la discapacidad subyacen a los estudios. El desgaste de los cuidadores y la afectación en la calidad de vida de personas con DMD son los temas más estudiados, el uso de metodologías cuantitativas las más comunes, y el modelo biopsicosocial el más presente. La mayoría de los estudios se realizaron en países del primer mundo. Aún es limitada la literatura que alude a un modelo social, pero logra vislumbrarse ya la necesidad de ampliar el abordaje de la DMD.

Percepção das mulheres sobre a qualidade da assistência de enfermagem durante o parto
Authors: Nunes Karine Ribeiro , Monte-Mor Danilo Soares
Published: June 2020

O objetivo principal deste estudo é identificar quais dimensões da qualidade do atendimento do enfermeiro afetam a satisfação da mulher no parto. Foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem quantitativa, com uma amostra de 549 mulheres. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário contendo 44 afirmações acompanhadas de uma escala de concordância. O questionário foi formulado com seis construtos: Interação do Enfermeiro e cuidados; Competência e Profissionalismo; Interação com os outros profissionais; Tempo de atendimento e Ambiente; Profissionalismo e Responsabilidade profissional e Satisfação com atendimento do enfermeiro. Os resultados evidenciam que competência e profissionalismo, interação com o enfermeiro, tempo de atendimento, ambiente e responsabilidade profissional estão relacionados positivamente com a satisfação, o que sugere que características associadas à qualidade do atendimento são determinantes para contribuir com a satisfação das mulheres que vivenciaram a parturição.
O papel das unidades de pronto atendimento: análise do desempenho da primeira UPA do município de Pelotas-RS
Authors: Pinto Rodrigo Serpa , Stocker Tainá , Lima Tania Marisa de
Published: June 2020

A superlotação das emergências hospitalares de grande parte dos hospitais públicos brasileiros foi umas das justificativas do Ministério da Saúde para a criação das Unidades de Pronto Atendimento (UPA) no país. A UPA tem como objetivo prestar apoio intermediário aos hospitais e às Unidades Básicas de Saúde, evitando que casos de menor complexidade sejam encaminhados para as emergências hospitalares, tendo como uns dos efeitos a diminuição da superlotação dos prontos-socorros. Assim, este artigo objetiva verificar o desempenho, incluindo a forma de organização da primeira unidade de UPA habilitada no município de Pelotas, no período de julho de 2016 e julho de 2017. Busca-se identificar os possíveis impactos da UPA no Pronto Socorro do município e à comunidade local. Trata-se de um estudo de caráter exploratório, quali-quantitativo. Com isso, verificou-se que a UPA em estudo no período especificado efetuou 73.333 atendimentos no acolhimento, sendo que 68.255 pacientes passaram pelo atendimento médico evidenciando que a Unidade tem apresentado resultados positivos, relacionados à redução, em média, a 80 atendimentos diários, dos acolhimentos do Pronto Socorro local, além de proporcionar aos usuários serviços específicos, por possuir uma estrutura simplificada com raio-X, eletrocardiografia, pediatria, laboratório de exames e leitos de observação, atendimentos muitas vezes difíceis de obter em outras unidades hospitalares. Contudo, a continuação do estudo é necessária, em vista da abertura de outra unidade no município para o ano de 2018, o que apresentará novos resultados aos estudos vinculados às Unidades e ao Pronto Socorro.
Determinantes do Endividamento em Cooperativas Médicas sob a Regulação da Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS)

O objetivo geral da pesquisa apresentada neste artigo foi analisar variáveis determinantes do endividamento em operadoras de planos de saúde (OPS) classificadas como cooperativas médicas sob a perspectiva da regulação da Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS). A pesquisa pode ser classificada essencialmente como quantitativa e causal e a amostra empregada consistiu nas OPS classificadas como cooperativas médicas que apresentaram seus dados financeiros ao longo do período de estudo (2010 a 2016) publicamente no site da ANS. Para a análise de dados, foram utilizadas as técnicas de análise documental, estatística descritiva e análise de regressão com dados em painel. Ao se analisar as decisões de financiamento das OPS, observou-se que a grande maioria as variáveis clássicas empregadas como determinantes desse tipo de decisão financeira em empresas foram consideradas significantes nas cooperativas. No que se refere às variáveis relacionadas à regulação, algumas se mostraram significantes. Uma das mais relevante nos modelos de endividamento foi o tamanho (porte) da operadora. Ademais, é importante destacar que a significância das variáveis (tanto as tradicionais de financiamento quanto as de regulação) dependeu do horizonte temporal abordado (curto ou longo prazo).
Incompletude dos óbitos por esquistossomose no sistema de informação sobre mortalidade em Pernambuco, 2000-2014

Este estudo objetivou avaliar a incompletude dos registros de óbitos por esquistossomose no Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM) em Pernambuco, no período 2000-2014, e analisar o conhecimento médico sobre o preenchimento da declaração de óbito (DO). Os dados secundários foram obtidos por meio do SIM, e os primários pela avaliação dos médicos em hospitais públicos de Pernambuco. Foram avaliados os escores de incompletude e as variações percentuais (2000-2007, 2008-2014); e as frequências relativas do conhecimento médico sobre a DO. Em 2000-2014, ocorreram 2636 óbitos por esquistossomose em PE. Em 2000-2007, ‘endereço de residência’ obteve a maior incompletude. Em 2008-2014, ‘naturalidade’ demonstrou a pior incompletude. Dos 32 médicos, 71,9% referiram o não preenchimento de variáveis devido à ausência de informação sobre o paciente, 62,5% não participaram de curso sobre preenchimento da DO, 80,6% achavam o curso necessário. Obteve-se associação entre as causas de não preenchimento da DO e o desejo de capacitação. No período de estudo, ocorreu a redução da incompletude de variáveis importantes, mas houve um aumento expressivo da incompletude ‘naturalidade’, o que desvirtua as informações sobre a autoctonia do local onde ocorreu o caso. A justificativa dos médicos – falta informação para preencher a variável da DO – é inconsistente, por serem eles os responsáveis por captar as informações. Tais lacunas prejudicam o planejamento de ações e políticas públicas direcionadas ao controle da doença.
New Tools for Studying Macrophage Polarization: Application to Bacterial Infections
Authors: Mezouar Soraya , Mege Jean-Louis
Published: June 2020

Macrophages are tissue immune cells involved in homeostasis and are considered as the first line of defense during bacterial infections. They are resident cells but may be recruited during inflammation and/or infection. Hence, their study is necessary not only to decipher innate immune mechanisms involved in bacterial infections but also to follow infected patients. Among the numerous functions of macrophages, their polarization into microbicidal or permissive cells has been an interesting concept to describe their responses to bacterial aggression. Numerous in vitro studies, including ours, have shown the ability of bacteria to induce different patterns of macrophage polarization. However, the studies of patients during infections have produced less convincing results. We propose in this review to take stock of the tools for studying the polarization of macrophages and to show their limits. We make recommendations for using macrophage polarization as a biomarker for measuring severity and response to treatment in bacterial infectious diseases.
