Published: June 2020

Speech delay becomes a phenomenon for children such as in English pre-reading instruction for non-native English speaker, thus it is needed a proper method for them. This study aims to identify the implementation of phonics method that used in an English pre-reading instruction for a child with speech delay. This study uses a case study which involves one teacher and one child with speech delay. The data obtained by interviewing a teacher and parents, observing the child, and identifying lesson plans. Thematic analysis is used to determine relevant themes of the topic. The results show each instruction has one objective, focuses on letters’ sound and spelling spelling two up to four sounds of a word, and a child could utter words clearly. Additionally, interactions with peers encourage a child to be competitive and enthusiastic. Furthermore, phonics method might be an alternative method for children with speech delay to acquire English pre-reading skills, especially in Early Childhood Education (ECE).

Authors: Yılmaz Fazlıhan
Published: June 2020

In this study, Hypericum perforatum L. has been used for dyeing woolen fabrics and improving antibacterial properties. Tin chloride, iron II sulfate, alum and copper II sulfate mordant materials were used to dye wool with Hypericum perforatum L. Dyeings were also performed without using mordant materials. H. perforatum was extracted prior to dyeing. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), antibacterial activity, and fastness testing of the dyed fabric samples were performed. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the dyed samples were also examined. It was determined that H. perforatum L. can be used for dyeing woolen fabrics while imparting antibacterial properties.
Seed dormancy and germination in Cardiocrinum giganteum var. yunnanense, a perennial herb in China with post-dispersal embryo growth
Authors: Li Ye-Fang , Song Jie , Guan Wen-Ling , Li Feng-Rong
Published: June 2020

Seeds of Cardiocrinum giganteum var. yunnanense, which is native to China, has underdeveloped embryos when dispersed from parent plants that did not grow until the second autumn and winter after exposure to summer temperatures. Radicles and cotyledons emerged in late winter
and spring. Thus, a 15–16 month period was required from dispersal to seed germination. Under laboratory conditions, this period could be shortened to 5–6 months in a 25°C/15°C (60 days) → 15°C/5°C (60 days) → 5°C (60 days) temperature sequence. Based
on dormancy-breaking requirements, the seeds have deep simple morphophysiological dormancy (MPD). This is practical knowledge for propagation of the species from seeds.
Sufficient conditions for the improved regular growth of entire functions in terms of their averaging
Authors: Khats' R.V.
Published: June 2020

Let $f$ be an entire function of order $\rho\in (0,+\infty)$ with zeros on a finite system of rays $\{z: \arg z=\psi_{j}\}$, $j\in\{1,\ldots,m\}$, $0\le\psi_1<\psi_2<\ldots<\psi_m<2\pi$ and $h(\varphi)$ be its indicator. In 2011, the author of the article has been proved that if $f$ is of improved regular growth (an entire function $f$ is called a function of improved regular growth if for some $\rho\in (0,+\infty)$ and $\rho_1\in (0,\rho)$, and a $2\pi$-periodic $\rho$-trigonometrically convex function $h(\varphi)\not\equiv -\infty$ there exists a set $U\subset\mathbb C$ contained in the union of disks with finite sum of radii and such that $\log |{f(z)}|=|z|^\rho h(\varphi)+o(|z|^{\rho_1})$, $U\not\ni z=re^{i\varphi}\to\infty$), then for some $\rho_3\in (0,\rho)$ the relation \begin{equation*} \int_1^r {\frac{\log |{f(te^{i\varphi})}|}{t}}\, dt=\frac{r^\rho}{\rho}h(\varphi)+o(r^{\rho_3}),\quad r\to +\infty, \end{equation*} holds uniformly in $\varphi\in [0,2\pi]$. In the present paper, using the Fourier coefficients method, we establish the converse statement, that is, if for some $\rho_3\in (0,\rho)$ the last asymptotic relation holds uniformly in $\varphi\in [0,2\pi]$, then $f$ is a function of improved regular growth. It complements similar results on functions of completely regular growth due to B. Levin, A. Grishin, A. Kondratyuk, Ya. Vasyl'kiv and Yu. Lapenko.

Authors: Mahi F. , Belkhelfa M.
Published: June 2020

In the present study, we consider a Legendrian normally flat submanifold $M$ of $(2n+s)$-dimensional $\mathcal{S}$-space form $\widetilde{M}^{2n+s}(c)$ of constant $\varphi$-sectional curvature $c$. We have shown that if $M$ is pseudo-parallel then $M$ is semi-parallel or totally geodesic.

We also prove that if $M$ is Ricci generalized pseudo-parallel, then either it is minimal or $L=\frac{1}{n-1}$, when $c\neq -3s$.

This thesis aims to determine the effectiveness of the supervision of BPSK in the inclusion of the raw clause in DKI Jakarta province. And how the regulation related to the supervision of the inclusion of the raw clause set out in the decree of the Minister of Industry and Trade No. 350/MPP/KEP/12/2001 on the implementation of duties and authorities of consumer dispute resolution bodies. The type of research used in this study is Yuridis empirical. It is an empirical approach to analyzing the extent to which a regulation or legislation or law is effectively in effect, In this case the approach can be used to analyze qualitative. The result of this thesis research shows that BPSK DKI Jakarta Province has not been able to play an active role in supervising the inclusion of the raw clause according to the duties and authorities because there is no regulation related to the technical rules of the supervision of the raw clause in consumer protection legislation. Although not optimal in conducting the supervision of the standard clause, in this case the assemblies of BPSK DKI Jakarta can only interpret the authority stated in the consumer Protection law regarding the supervision of the inclusion of the raw clause. Although it is still in the fumbling stage and learn from cases that have been disputed by consumers in conducting supervision of the standard clause.

Self-assessment of ESP oral performance
Authors: Burkšaitienė Nijolė
Published: June 2020

Aim. Research to date acknowledges the learning, instructional and assessment advantages of self-assessment used in different fields of study in higher education contexts, yet little known research has focused on its use for learning and raising learner awareness while studying English for Specific Purposes (ESP). To this end, the present small-scale study examines the use of self-assessment of philology students’ ESP oral performance at a university in Lithuania.

Method. The data for this research was collected from undergraduate students’ written reports on their project presentations on the chosen ESP topics. To analyse the data, qualitative methodology of inductive content analysis was used.

Results. The study resulted in the identification of five major dimensions covering problem areas in the students’ ESP oral performance. The findings indicate that self-assessment enabled the students not only to identify some gaps and difficulties in their ESP oral performance that call for action but also to establish the reasons which caused them, foresee how the gaps can be closed or the difficulties coped with. Furthermore, it allowed the students to make decisions that reached far beyond the self-assessment task. The results also demonstrate that self-assessment raised the students’ awareness of themselves as learners by giving them direction on how to perform better in the future.

Conclusion. Self-assessment, as used in the present research, proves to be a valuable tool both for the students of ESP and their teachers as it reveals areas in the students’ performance that call for improvement, which enables ESP teachers to support their students to achieve better results in the future.
The Politicization of Islamic Society in Post Soviet Russia
Authors: Alaverdov Emilia
Published: June 2020

Aim. The paper analyses the Islamic revival in Russia in the late 20th century and early 21st. This was reflected in the registration of religious communities, the publication of periodicals on Muslim literature, and, in my opinion, most importantly - the construction of mosques and madrassas. It highlights the roles of mosques and madrassas built in the North Caucasus, which later became the theological centers for the spread of Islam and educated youngsters according to their propaganda.

Methods. The study mainly uses an analysis method based on the study of historicism, documents and empirical material. The basis of the source are books, scientific articles, research works conducted by Russian and foreign experts.

Results. The post-Soviet wars (1994-1996 and 1999-2000) in Chechnya contributed to the politicisation and realisation of Islam in this region. In 1996-1999 there were 26 Sharia courts, numerous Islamic parties, charitable foundations and organisations in the republic and, most importantly, structures of Wahhabi organisations (Akaev, n.d.). The process of politicisation gradually turned into organisational formations in Russia in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Conclusion. The constructive transformation by reinforcing the modernist potentials of Islam has contributed to the real renewal of Russian Muslim societies, which led to the radicalisation of the whole region. The described events have shown that for the last 20 years, the revival of religious Islam was a revival of political organisations and activities, where religion is connected to politics and criminal activities. A small North Caucasian republic immediately turned up at the center of Russia's recent history.

Key Words: Islam, politics, revival, radicalization, Russia, North Caucasus

Aim. The aim of the research is: theoretical investigation of the problem of patriotism and its urgency, the empirical research for defining the level of perception of the concept “patriotism” by teenagers in Latvia.

Methodology of the research. The theoretical basis of the research includes theoretical analysis of various conceptual approaches to understanding of the phenomenon of patriotism in the philosophical aspect, as well as official documents of the European Union and the Republic of Latvia: documents of the Republic of Latvia (the preamble to the main law of the Latvian Republic – the Constitution; National Development Plan of Latvia for 2014-2020; Guidelines for the Development of Education for 2014-2020; Guidelines on national identity, civil society and integration policy 2012-2018); documents of international organisations (United Nations International Children’s Fund; European Commission; the EU Strategy for Youth – Investing and Empowering; Universal Declaration of Human Rights). The Empirical methods of the research: methods of data acquisition: a questionnaire (anonymous); methods of data processing and analysis: quantitative data processing with methods of mathematical analysis of statistical data and forecasting analytical methods in data processing software Microsoft Office Excel 2010 and SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) 18.0 version; qualitative data processing (analysis of the content, coding and processing of the acquired data); interpretation of quantitative and qualitative.

Results. The theoretical analysis makes it possible to conclude that the main idea of the concept patriotism consists in considering it as one of the highest values of the individual and is the basis of life orientations, defining the strategy of the individual’s development, harmonisation of the society and the state. The main approaches for investigation of the concept of patriotism are: sensitively emotional, active and publically national.
National language in science: The case of Latvian
Authors: Dubova Agnese , Laiveniece Diāna , Proveja Egita , Egle Baiba
Published: June 2020

Aim. To show and describe the current situation in Latvian language as a case study of the problem about the place of a national language and its existence in sciences in modern globalised times, when the dominance of English as the lingua franca of science grows.

Methods.  A descriptive method, including literature review of language of science used globally. Empirical discourse content analysis was conducted; it examined various documents, including Latvian legal texts that governs the rights and rules of Latvian language use, as well as a wide array of mainly online media.

Results. During the study, 21 different sources and 304 online comments under articles relating to the issue were analysed. The material revealed that there is a breadth of opinions, ranging from the Ministry stance to organisations and the general public. It could be said that the main trend in the opinions can be described as follows: there is a variety of language options – a dissertation written only in Latvian; a dissertation written in English; a choice of language that is up to the doctoral student. This would ensure that the language choice fits the doctoral students’ goals and field of research and making English mandatory would not likely lead to guaranteed scientific excellence as what matters is the research itself, not the language.

Conclusions. National language of science is a current issue in Latvia, as there is a need for state language use in the scientific register. The discussed Ministry document is still a draft report and it is not yet known what final decisions on the PhD process and dissertation language will be taken. Latvian is a scientific language and it should be recognised as one of the languages used in science  within the international scientific discourse.

Published: June 2020

Aim. The research goal of this paper is to theoretically substantiate the feasibility of using Benjamin Bloom’s psychological and pedagogical model and its modifications in the adult learning system.

Methods. The study used the methods of theoretical analysis, synthesis and modelling of the implementation options for Bloom’s techniques in the training of adults.

Results and Conclusions. The analysis showed that the use of techniques based on Bloom’s taxonomy, modified for adult training, makes it possible to develop students’ skills and abilities to thoroughly and comprehensively analyse the problem, and to find creative, effective solutions. Such a sequence of task setting as “reproduction” (knowledge), “understanding” (comprehension), “application,” “analysis,” “evaluation,” and “creation” is proposed as a general scheme of various training for adults. In particular, an example of the design of training in developing communication skills and training in overcoming procrastination skills is given.
Pre-Service English Teachers’ Narrative Identity
Authors: ULUM Ömer Gökhan
Published: June 2020

Aim. This phenomenological study probes the experiences of pre-service English as Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in the practicum process. Thus, this paper aims at bringing a light to the effects of practicum experiences of pre-service EFL teachers on their professional identity.

Methods. Based upon a narrative identity method, this phenomenological inquiry examines the experiences of pre-service EFL teachers (N= 20) in their practicum. A one-shot question was directed to the informants with the aim of clarifying their personal constructs.

Results. Practicum has got a significant role in education faculties all over the world. The theories applied in teaching practicum are quite common and universal. However, the practices utilised in practicum may show variations among education faculties. Further, the practicum content, and the characteristics of teacher candidates and supervisors may cause practicum to be carried out in diverse ways. The practicum aspect of pre-service teacher education is contemporarily given significant emphasis all around the world. Further, the exact theory of practicum and the desired outcomes of the related practices are relatively identical in education faculties throughout the world. Nonetheless, the practicum practices represent diversities among institutions. Yet, the characteristics and experiences of pre-service teachers may lead the practicum to be carried out in diverse ways in dissimilar contexts.

Conclusion. The results of the study suggest that teacher candidates developed both positive and negative cognitive constructs during their practicum. Related implications are provided to overcome the problems encountered during practicum, as well as to suggest ways to develop EFL pre-service teachers’ practicum process.

Keywords: EFL teachers, pre-service EFL teachers, practicum, narrative identity, professional identity
The Dirichlet problem for rectangle and new identities for elliptic integrals and functions
Authors: Alekseeva Helen S. , Rassadin Alexander E.
Published: June 2020

In the paper, results of comparison of two different methods of exact solution of the Dirichlet problem for rectangle are presented, namely, method of conformal mapping and method of variables’ separation. By means of this procedure normal derivative of Green’s function for rectangular domain was expressed via Jacobian elliptic functions. Under approaching to rectangle’s boundaries these formulas give new representations of the Dirac delta function. Moreover in the framework of suggested ideology a number of identities for the complete elliptic integral of the first kind were obtained. These formulas may be applied to summation of both numerical and functional series; also they may be useful for analytic number theory.
On radius 2 trees with the maximum number of matchings
Authors: Kuzmin Nikita A.
Published: June 2020

A matching in a graph is any set of its pairwise non-adjacent edges. In this paper, we consider and solve the maximization problem of the matchings number in radius ≤2 trees of a given number of vertices. For any n≥56, where n=3k+r and k∈N,r∈{0,1,2}, an extremal tree is unique and it is a join of a vertex with the central vertices in b copies of P3 and with leaf vertices in a copies of P2, where b=k+r−1−2a3 and (r,a)∈{(0,1),(1,0),(2,2)}. For any 6≤n≤55, a corresponding extremal tree is also unique (except n=8, where there are two such trees) and it has a similar structure. For any 1≤n≤5, a unique extremal tree is the path on n vertices. To prove these facts, we propose some graph transformations, increasing the matchings number and keeping the vertices number. The author hopes that these transformations will be useful for solving similar problems in other classes of graphs.
Digitalisasi Ideologi: Mediatisasi Hegemoni Ritual Rambu Solo di Media Sosial
Authors: Handayani Rivi , Ahimsa-Putra Heddy Shri , Budiman Christian
Published: June 2020

This article argues that the emergence of contents related to the Rambu Solo ritual on social media is a manifestation of the hegemonic ideology that was digitalized by the new generation of Toraja. Using the theoretical framework of mediatization, this article aims to explore how the hegemony of Rambu solo ritual operates in social media context, especially Instagram. By using virtual ethnography method, especially at the level of media documents and user experience, it can be explained that the mediatization of the hegemony of Rambu Solo rituals on social media are basically implying three things; firstly, the narrative about the Rambu Solo ritual on social media has given birth to a new form of interaction and communication in a broader scope; secondly, the narrative of Rambu Solo ritual on social media has made the media as a new domain to find meanings about the Rambu Solo ritual; and third, the narrative of Rambu Solo ritual indicates the accommodation efforts of the Torajanese new generation towards the rules that apply in the context of social media with the general characteristics of user-generated content. Realized it or not, the Torajanes new generation has voluntarily "continued" this ritual hegemony.

Authors: Kusmarwati Arifah , Andayani Fairdiana , Yennie Yusma
Published: June 2020

Vibrio parahaemolyticus patogen selain membahayakan kesehatan manusia juga menjadi alasan penolakan ekspor udang di beberapa negara. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengisolasi, mengidentifikasi dan mengkuantifikasi keberadaan V. parahaemolyticus patogen pada udang vaname (Litopenaeus vannamei) di Unit Pengolahan Ikan (UPI) Jawa Tengah dan Jawa Timur. Pengambilan sampel udang vaname dilakukan secara tertelusur di sepanjang rantai pasok pengolahan udang menggunakan metode acak purposif. Sampel udang yang diambil berukuran 20-48 g/ekor (size 21-51). Sebanyak 10 unit sampel dengan berat masing-masing 400-500 g diambil dari setiap tambak udang intensif. Dengan berat yang sama, sebanyak 10-30 sampel diambil dari setiap tahapan pengolahan udang di UPI secara tertelusur. Identifikasi V. parahaemolyticus merujuk pada metode SNI 01-2332.5-2006 dan PCR dengan gen penyandi spesifik toxR, tdh dan trh. Prevalensi V. parahaemolyticus dari total sampel udang yang berasal dari tambak dan UPI Jawa Tengah adalah 17 dari 50 (34%) sampel, di mana empat (4) sampel positif mengandung gen tdh dan tiga (3)  sampel positif mengandung gen trh. Sedangkan prevalensi V. parahaemolyticus dari sampel yang berasal dari Jawa Timur sebesar 29 dari 60 (48,33%) sampel positif PCR, dan tidak terdeteksi V. parahaemolyticus patogen. Oleh karena itu sangat penting dilakukan upaya perbaikan penanganan udang paska panen, khususnya di UPI Jawa Tengah terutama pada titik kritis proses pengolahannya.    AbstractApart from being a major cause of foodborne disease in human, pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus also becomes the main reason for shrimp export rejection in several countries. This study was carried out to isolate, identify and quantify the prevalence of pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus in whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Shrimp with size of 21-51 (20-48 g/shrimp) from ponds and fish processing units in Central and East Java were used in this study. Ten sample units of 400-500 g shrimp were collected from each intensive pond, while 10-30 sample units (400-500 g) were collected from each processing step in the fish processing units. Pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus was identified using PCR with specific coding gen (toxR, tdh and trh) and method recommended by SNI 01-2332.5-2006. The prevalence of V. parahaemolyticus in shrimp from Central Java was 17 out of 50 (34%) samples. Amongst these, four (4) were positive tdh and three (3) were positive trh. For sample from East Java, V. parahaemolyticus was found 29 out of 60 (48.33%) and no pathogenic V. parahaemolyticus was detected. To avoid future contamination of V. parahaemolyticus, post-harvest handling of shrimp especially in the processing units in Central Java should be improved.

Authors: Handoyo Wahyu Tri , Assadad Luthfi , Sedayu Bakti Berlyanto
Published: June 2020

Tepung ikan merupakan salah satu komoditas penting akuakultur yang permintaannya di Indonesia meningkat setiap tahun seiring pesatnya perkembangan akuakultur. Sebagian besar kebutuhan tepung ikan tersebut dipenuhi dari impor. Salah satu upaya untuk mengurangi kebutuhan impor adalah  memanfaatkan berbagai jenis ikan rucah dan sisa olahan ikan berupa tulang dan kepala ikan sebagai bahan baku tepung ikan. Permasalahan yang dihadapi pada pengolahan tulang ikan adalah proses pencacahan menjadi ukuran yang lebih kecil. Oleh karena itu diperlukan mesin yang mampu mencacah tulang ikan yang memiliki tekstur keras. Telah dilakukan perancangan, pembuatan dan pengujian kinerja mesin pencacah tulang ikan. Mesin dirancang berdasarkan mekanisme kerja poros berputar untuk menggerakkan sepasang mata pisau yang saling berhimpitan dan berputar berlawanan arah. Uji kinerja dilakukan dengan beban tulang ikan tuna dengan variasi perlakuan frekuensi inverter 25; 37,5; dan 50 Hz. Parameter yang diamati meliputi rendemen, kecepatan putaran poros, waktu pencacahan, dan kapasitas pencacahan. Hasil uji coba menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi frekuensi inverter, kecepatan putaran poros semakin tinggi, sehingga kapasitas pencacahan semakin meningkat. Berdasarkan parameter yang diamati, mesin bekerja optimal pada frekuensi inverter 50,0 Hz.  AbstractFish meal is one of the essential inputs for aquaculture, and the demand in Indonesia is growing every year parallel with the rapid development of aquaculture. Most of the fish meal was imported. An effort to reduce imports is to utilize various types of trash fish and fish processing waste, including bones and head as raw material for fish meal. The problem that occurs in the processing of fish bone is the process of chopping them into smaller sizes. Therefore, a machine capable of chopping hard texture of fish bones is needed. The design and performance tests of the fish bone chopping machine have been conducted. The device was designed based on the working mechanism of the rotating shaft to drive the paired blades that coincide and rotate in the opposite direction. The performance test was carried out for tuna bone with varied inverter frequencies of 25; 37,5; and 50 Hz. The parameters observed were yield, shaft speed, chopping time, and capacity. The results showed that increasing inverter frequency increased the shaft speed; therefore, it increased the capacity. Based on the observed parameters, the machine worked optimally at an inverter frequency of 50,0 Hz.

NaOH with concentration of 4, 5, and 6% was used for alkali pretreatment while CH3COOH at concentrations of 0.5% and 1.0% (v/v) was used for acid pretreatment. The quality parameters investigated were moisture content, ash content, acid insoluble ash, sulphate content, functional groups, yield, gel strength, viscosity, melting point, gelling point, syneresis, and total plate count. The best quality of bacto agar was obtained by using 4% alkali pretreatment and 0.5% CH3COOH. This pretreatment has fulfilled the specification of commercial bacto agar for moisture, ash, acid inslouble ash content, and gel strength parameter. The properties of bacto agar from this pretreatment were moisture content 13.69±1.02%, ash content 4.24±1.28%, acid insoluble ash content 0.54±0.25%, sulphate content 1.55±0.36%, yield 9.19±2.21%, gel strength 1464.98±109.09 g/cm2, syneresis 2.76±0.12%, gelling point 20.50±2.12 °C, and melting point 95.25±1.06 °C. This pretreatment also gave the same result as the commercial bacto agar for the total plate count.
UM EXCURSO SOBRE AS CATEGORIAS EDUCAÇÃO E TRABALHO NO PENSAMENTO DE ISTVÁN MÉSZÁROS: CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA A EDUCAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL
Authors: Oliveira Loryne Viana
Published: June 2020

A Educação Profissional situa-se na convergência entre os eixos educação e trabalho. Tal convergência não prescinde de aportes teóricos robustos e posicionados politicamente. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho, de natureza bibliográfica propõe uma reflexão sobre a incidência de fenômenos econômicos e produtivos na educação, considerando o pensamento de István Mészáros, com ênfase no exposto em seu Educação para Além do Capital. O estudo das categorias educação e trabalho nesta obra revela ser impossível uma ação verdadeiramente democrática em uma sociedade que domina hierarquicamente o trabalho e tem regras sobre os sistemas educativos que são impostas por personificações do capital. Apenas uma educação com compromisso revolucionário pode romper com a ordem social vigente e superar a reprodução social e econômica, o que se dará com a reestruturação social, reformulação do ensino, das práticas educativas – que estão imbricadas à dimensão ontológica do trabalho e, por fim, da “própria maneira de ser” dos humanos.

ABSTRACT Background: Hepatitis C can be defined as an infectious disease that develops an inflammatory activity, which may cause an impairment in the central nervous system, may cause cognitive impairments and symptoms of depression. Objective: The objective of this study was to verify the cognitive performance of patients with chronic hepatitis C before and after treatment with simeprevir, sofosbuvir, and daclatasvir. Methods: A prospective study was carried out in three stages: before, right after treatment, and six months after. Fifty-eight patients under clinical follow-up were evaluated at the Emílio Ribas Infectology Institute, in São Paulo, Brazil. The following instruments were used: sociodemographic questionnaire, Lawton’s Scale, Beck’s Depression Inventory, and a battery of neuropsychological tests that evaluated: intellectual function, memory, attention, executive function, and motor and processing speed). For statistical analysis, the analyses described (mean, frequency, and standard deviation), chi-square, and ANOVA were used. Results: Most of the participants were male (n=30, 51.7%), with a mean of 58.23±8.79 years, mean schooling of 9.75±4.43 years. Comparing the results of neuropsychological evaluations (before, just after completion of drugs, and six months), a significant improvement was observed in relation to the acquisition of new knowledge (p=0.03), late visual memory (p=0.01), and tendency towards alternate attention (p=0.07). Conclusion: The treatment of the hepatitis C virus improved cognitive performance, especially in relation to memory.

ABSTRACT Background: Individuals with migraine usually complain about lower memory performance. Diagnostic methods such as neuroimaging may help in the understanding of possible morphologic and functional changes related to the memory of those individuals. Therefore, the aim of this review is to analyze the available literature on neuroimaging changes related to memory processing in migraine. Methods: We searched the following databases: Pubmed/Medline, Psycinfo, Science Direct, Cochrane and Web of Science. We used articles without restriction of year of publication. The combination of descriptors used for this systematic review of literature were Neuroimaging OR Imaging OR Brain AND Migraine OR Chronic Migraine AND Memory. Results: Of the 306 articles found, nine were selected and all used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The studies used structural and functional MRI techniques with a predominance of 3 Tesla equipment and T1-weighted images. According to the results obtained reported by these studies, migraine would alter the activity of memory-related structures, such as the hippocampus, insula and frontal, parietal and temporal cortices, thereby suggesting a possible mechanism by which migraine would influence memory, especially in relation to the memory of pain. Conclusions: Migraine is associated to global dysfunction of multisensory integration and memory processing. This condition changes the activity of structures in various regions related to memory of pain, prospective memory, as well as in short- and long-term verbal and visuospatial memories. However, it is necessary to perform studies with larger samples in association with cognitive tests, and without the interference of medications to verify possible alterations and to draw more concrete conclusions.

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the evidence on the cost and effectiveness of Plaque Rich Plasma in the treatment of venous ulcers compared to other topical therapies. Methods: systematic review, with search in the databases: COCHRANE, EMBASE, MEDLINE via PubMed, LILACS, CINAHL, SCOPUS, without temporal cut and in the English, Portuguese and Spanish languages. Results: fifteen articles were included, a cost-minimization analysis showed that the cost of Plaque Rich Plasma is € 163.00 ± 65.90, slightly higher than the cost of standard dressing. Regarding effectiveness, the results of the studies associated with the meta-analysis suggest a tendency that Plaque Rich Plasma is effective in the healing of venous ulcers. Conclusions: it is concluded that there are few studies about the cost of Platelet Rich Plasma and this product tends to be effective in the healing of venous ulcers. However, more controlled and randomized clinical studies are necessary in order to establish a stronger recommendation.

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT Objectives: to understand how the empowerment of family caregivers of people with stroke occurs in the hospital environment. Methods: a qualitative research, participatory action research, articulated with Paulo Freire’s Research Itinerary, developed in April 2018 with family caregivers, in a Stroke Unit. Results: three predominant codes were coded: the need for empowerment and autonomy to experience the care situation; the challenges experienced in becoming a caregiver; and family support. Participants presented a lack of information inherent to the care process, with distancing from empowerment to perform the function in dehospitalization. Dialogue revealed empowerment as a possibility for critical awareness and skill development. Conclusions: it highlights the importance of directing health promotion for caregivers, inserting them in the care process, recognizing their needs and intensifying practices that promote empowerment for care, bypassing curative actions.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to investigate puerperal women who received guidance on childbirth during prenatal care and the behaviors experienced in the labor process within the context of good obstetric practices from the perspective of puerperal women. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study conducted with 203 puerperal women admitted to the shared rooms of a teaching hospital between May and July 2017 during the immediate postpartum period. For data collection, was used an instrument adapted from the hospital questionnaire for puerperal women that was developed by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation. Results: only 48.3% of puerperal women received the eight orientations regarding good obstetric practices during prenatal care, which were not experienced in the labor process, especially regarding referral and behaviors of the hospital team. Unfavorable socioeconomic conditions were significant in relation to guidelines provided during prenatal care. Conclusions: prenatal care was negatively evaluated and there was lack of compliance with good obstetric practices and non-recommended behaviors in the labor process in the maternity ward.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify perceptions of teamwork according to the professionals of an Adult Intensive Care Unit. Methods: descriptive research with qualitative approach. The methodological framework was thematic content analysis. The theoretical framework of the work process was used to guide the interpretation of the data. Data collection: A semi-structured interview was conducted with 38 professionals in a public teaching hospital in the state of Minas Gerais. Results: three thematic categories emerged from the interviews: Work Organization, which is related to work performed through tasks/routines, with or without coordinated actions; Non-material Work Instruments, which reveal that teamwork is based on communication/collaboration; Insufficient Material Resources, which indicate that lack of material creates conflicts between professionals. Conclusions: Teamwork requires effective communication and collaboration, integrated work and appropriate professional training. On the other hand, fragmentation and rigidity at work, poor collaboration/communication and lack of material make teamwork difficult. We emphasize the need to revise the curriculum of health courses, with a view to including and/or improving discussions about teamwork in order to train professionals for a more integrated and perhaps even sympathetic health practice.

Published: June 2020

Abstract Although stakeholder theory has been on the academic agenda for more than 30 years, empirical evidence is still scant about stakeholders’ influence as determinant factors of local governments’ performance. Evidence from 82 empirical studies on stakeholder influence as a source of local government effectiveness is assessed in this article. The choice of studies was based in a systematic literature review, encompassing articles published in the period from 2007 to 2017 in which stakeholder influences are considered determinant factors of local government performance. This research contributes to this field of knowledge by synthesizing the pertinent publications and pointing out an agenda for future studies.
