Konservative Transkulturalität oder Paradoxien der Moderne?
Authors: Krappmann Jörg
Published: November 2024

The genre of the novel of the future is usually reduced to a few canonised texts in diachronic longitudinal sections. This article, instead, attempts to explore the synchronic dynamics of the genre in the interwar period using the example of the future novels by the Austrian author Walther Eidlitz, who, after his expressionist beginnings, wrote religious-mythical texts in which a counterweight is sought against the irregularly differentiating modernity. On the eve of the Third Reich, the novels Zodiak (1930) and Das Licht der Welt (1932) outline a tableau of possibilities in which the ambivalences of modernity are named and productively integrated into a future concept of leadership based on the protagonist's search for identity, a Greek-Turkish migrant, and his negotiation processes between religion and technology as well as archaic and modern living environments.1
Visible light communication in aircraft cabins: challenges and opportunities in power, coverage, and handover management
Authors: Kumar Ajit
Published: November 2024

Visible light communication (VLC) presents a compelling solution for enhancing in-flight connectivity within commercial aircraft cabins. This study investigates the power distribution, coverage area, and handover performance of VLC systems inside aircraft based on line-of-sight (LoS) and first reflection signal. Results indicate that received power levels at different receiver positions are significantly affected with varying half-power semi-angles. Analysis of first reflection signal power distribution reveals maximum reflected power is achieved at semi-angle equal to 45°. Simulated coverage areas demonstrate the importance of half-power semi-angle size in determining signal confinement and separability. Handover simulations highlight the dynamic nature of passenger mobility and its impact on handover frequency, with smaller semi-angles resulting in higher handover counts. While directional transmission offers benefits such as interference mitigation and spatial reuse, it also introduces challenges related to handover frequency and coverage area. These findings underscore the need for careful optimization of VLC system designs and handover algorithms to ensure seamless connectivity and optimal performance in diverse aircraft environments.

Authors: Ikuta Yasuhisa , Takatori Fumihiko , Amari Shoichiro , Ito Ai , Ishiguro Akira , Isayama Tetsuya
Published: November 2024

Objectives

To investigate the effectiveness of placing an indicator light indicating inadequate ventilation near the face mask during positive-pressure ventilation with respiratory function monitors (RFMs) in neonatal resuscitation. The study is a three-group, randomised, controlled, crossover simulation trial.

Methods

Paediatrics residents, neonatology fellows, and attending neonatologists at a single neonatal intensive care unit. A ventilation simulation with a manikin was performed three times consecutively using the same scenario with three different ventilation evaluation methods (A) RFM plus indicator light and conventional methods (heart rate and chest rise) (B) RFM and conventional methods, and (C) conventional methods alone.

Results

The ratio of gaze duration on the manikin to the total trial duration was recorded using an eye-tracking device. The proportion of trials with adequate ventilation (expiratory tidal volume [VTe], 4–10 mL/kg; peak inspiratory pressure <30 cm H2O; leak <40 %) was determined. After excluding incomplete data, 63 simulations (22 participants) were analysed. The ratios of the gaze duration on the manikin to the total trial duration were significantly different among settings A (0.60 [95 % confidence interval: 0.52–0.67] sec/sec), B (0.51 [0.43–0.59] sec/sec), and C (0.80 [0.76–0.84] sec/sec). Ventilation with adequate VTe and less leakage was more frequent in settings A and B than in setting C (adequate VTe: A, 91 %; B, 91 %; and C, 83 %; less leak: A, 76 %; B, 78 %; and C, 57 %).

Conclusions

An indicator light close to the facemask with an RFM directed the eyesight towards the manikin without compromising the ventilation quality during the simulation of neonatal resuscitation.

Abstact

Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) have wide range of application in many fields of industry, agriculture, cosmetics, and health care with probable risk to human health. The present study was conducted to find the chronic toxicity of these nanoparticles in the vital organs. Male healthy Wister Albino rats were subjected on daily bases to 35 intraperitoneal administration of 25 nm CuO NPs (2 mg/kg). All animals were subjected to morphological, histological, histochemical, and ultrastructural examinations. Exposure to CuO NPs induced reduction in body weight gain, urine retention, back arching, and renal calculi formation. The renal tissues demonstrated tubular hydropic degeneration, glomerular hypercellularity, blood vessels congestion and dilatation, renal interstitial oedema, mitochondrial injury, and lysosomal hypertrophy. Conversely, the liver displayed hepatocyte insultation, sinusoidal dilatation, Kupffer cells hyperplasia, inflammatory cell infiltration, hepatocytes mitochondrial cristolysis, mitochondrial swelling, lysosomal hyperplasia, and nuclear alterations. Furthermore, the cardiac tissues demonstrated congestion, cardiocytes disarray, and disorganization. In addition, the neural tissue exhibited Purkinje cells degeneration and cerebral cortex spongiosis. The results suggest that CuO nanomaterials engage with the vital organs’ components, potentially leading to alterations that could affect the organs function. Further research is encouraged for better understanding the mechanisms involved in pathogenesis of CuO NPs.

Published: November 2024

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been developed as innovative devices for harvesting various forms of mechanical energy generated by our bodies and surroundings, which provide green and sustainable power for increasingly miniaturized and mobile electronics, especially wearables. In this article, the largest possible output energy per cycle of a TENG in the two basic working modes, namely, the vertical contact-separation (CS) mode and the contact-sliding (LS) mode, is analyzed and the energy collected by a capacitor is tested. It is found that more energy output and collected from a vertical CS mode TENG than that from a LS mode TENG with the same size and triboelectric layer materials when the size and displacement range of the TENG are suitable for a wearable energy harvesting device. In order to improve the energy output of a TENG, three methods have been proposed to increase its surface charge density, such as adding a BaTiO3 film or a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-BaTiO3 composite film between the triboelectric layer and the metal electrode, and using a PDMS-BaTiO3 composite film as a negative triboelectric layer, and corresponding TENGs are fabricated for experimental testing. These measures have effectively enhanced the output of the TENGs.

Authors: Shi Da , Li Zhao
Published: November 2024

In this article, we mainly study new soliton solutions of the conformable time fractional Drinfel’d–Sokolov–Wilson (DSW) equation which has applications in a wide range of practical applications, including fluid dynamics problems. After fractional order travelling transformation, the partial differential equation studied in this article is transformed into ordinary differential equation and connected with a quadratic polynomial. By using the complete discriminant system of quadratic polynomial, we have achieved the classification of soliton solutions of the DSW equation and provided the precise expressions of their solutions, including hyperbolic function solutions, triangle function solutions and Jacobian elliptic function solutions. Some solutions obtained in this article are shown with 3D and 2D plots in order to investigate the propagation characteristics of soliton waves satisfying the conformable time fractional DSW equation. This method is not only fast and effective, but also can obtain new forms of solutions for DSW equation, which is beneficial for people to further understand fluid dynamics problems. This method is also applicable to studying the solutions of other types of partial differential equations.

Published: November 2024

Drawing the inspiration from Full Engine Simulation performed by the scientific community, the methodology for performing an integration analysis of single stage turbine with convergent exhaust nozzle of a small gas turbine engine is developed in the present study. Initially, a numerical simulation on exhaust system supported with experimental validation has been discussed. A scope of improvement in the exhaust system study has been identified and these principles are applied to improve the accuracy of prediction of CFD analysis. By taking the confidence from the validation, a 3D steady pressure-based analysis is carried out to understand the flow patterns and aero-thermal properties of the single stage turbine with convergent type nozzle influenced by the integration. The integration resulted in increased specific work output of the turbine and increased the thrust coefficient of the nozzle. Further important outcomes of this study highlight the changes observed in the performance parameters with and without integration. The thermal pattern across the rotor blades from CFD analysis is observed to be in-line with the used blades of the gas turbine engine thereby reinforcing the accuracy of the methodology developed for the integration study.

Published: November 2024

This research focuses on identifying isotherms on the surface of a gas turbine combustion chamber using a colour-changing solvent known as temperature-indicating paint (TIP). The study employs a Multi Colour Change (MCC) 350-8 TIP to detect surface temperature variations. An innovative algorithm is proposed to identify these variations through irreversible colour changes, utilizing a colour-matching technique. The surface temperature data obtained from this method is compared with experimental calibration and computational analysis, showing not just agreement, but a high level of agreement, reinforcing the reliability of the method. This approach aims to enhance the accuracy of temperature detection in combustion chambers, which is crucial for optimizing performance and reducing emissions. The findings contribute to developing more efficient gas turbine systems by providing a reliable method for monitoring and controlling combustion temperatures. This study’s novelty lies in its use of colour-changing technology to achieve precise temperature mapping on complex surfaces.
Dauertestamentsvollstreckung über den Anteil eines persönlich haftenden Gesellschafters nach dem MoPeG
Authors: Lüdeking Matthias , Samari Sima
Published: November 2024

Der Gesetzgeber des MoPeG wollte die seit langem umstrittene Frage, ob und in welchem Umfang die Dauertestamentsvollstreckung (auch Dauervollstreckung) über den Anteil eines persönlich haftenden Gesellschafters zulässig ist, nicht beantworten. Der Beitrag argumentiert für die umfassende Zulässigkeit der Dauervollstreckung unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen. Für die Zulässigkeit spricht unter anderem, dass das MoPeG in § 724 BGB nunmehr auch dem GbR-Gesellschafter ein fristgebundenes Wahlrecht gewährt und die Möglichkeit eines fremdbestimmten persönlich haftenden Gesellschafters bekräftigt, sowie der Umstand, dass den berechtigten Interessen des Erben, der Gesellschafts- und Eigengläubiger sowie der Mitgesellschafter Rechnung getragen werden kann. Der Beitrag legt außerdem dar, dass und warum die Eintragung eines Testamentsvollstreckervermerks in das Gesellschafts- oder Handelsregister gerade im Fall der Dauervollstreckung über den Anteil eines persönlich haftenden Gesellschafters möglich und nötig ist. Mit der Einführung des Gesellschaftsregisters ermöglich das MoPeG insoweit eine registerrechtliche Gleichbehandlung von GbR und OHG sowie KG.
ESG: USA gegen Europa

Published: November 2024

745In der letzten Dekade schien es, als sei der Siegeszug von „ESG“ auch in den USA unaufhaltsam. Institutionelle Investoren schlossen sich an, es gab ambitionierte Regelungsvorschläge der SEC. Allerdings wuchs abseits dieser in Europa stark wahrgenommenen Aktivitäten der Widerstand. Heute existiert in verschiedenen US-Bundesstaaten sog. „anti-ESG legislation“, US state attorneys drohen europäischen Unternehmen rechtliche Verfolgung an. Die zunehmende regulierungspolitische Spaltung könnte erhebliche Konflikte nach sich ziehen. Der Beitrag beschreibt die aktuellen Entwicklungen und ordnet sie in einen größeren Rahmen ein. Der Kampf um Klimaschutzregulierung stellt in den USA die neueste Variante des älteren Streits um föderalen Umweltschutz dar, mit Wurzeln, die bis zur Gründung der Vereinigten Staaten zurückreichen.

In the current work, a dry-jet wet spinning process was used for preparing the polysulfone (PS) polymer hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane. The polysulfone (PS) polymer was prepared by phase inversion technique with two distinct additives: glycerol and polyethylene glycol (PEG). The HF membranes were characterized and their performance was compared for pure water permeability (PWP). While characterizing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis on the internal section and cross-sectional area of membranes exhibited thin finger-like structures and thick sponge-like structures, respectively. With aid of an atomic force microscopic (AFM), the average surface roughness (Ra) of extruded HF membranes was found to be 61.253 nm and 81.086 nm, respectively for the membranes prepared using glycerol and PEG as additives Wettability studies revealed that the both membranes were hydrophilic. Further, they subjected to ascertained for the average pore size, surface porosity, stretch length, and breakage load. In addition, an investigation through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis exhibited that the acquired fibers were amorphous. The results of these findings showed that an increase in pressure caused a rise in water flow. Though PEG-supported HF membrane was an additive that has been shown to provide a greater water flux than glycerol additive HF, its structural stability suggests that it might be employed for higher pressure applications to satisfy the necessary demand for water processing.

Extensão na escola: um trabalho com as habilidades de leitura e produção textual
Authors: Cardoso Paula Fernanda Eick , Valente Aidana Scarparo , Vellar Camila Martins
Published: November 2024

O componente curricular de Língua Portuguesa está presente em todo o ensino básico, no entanto, muitos alunos concluem o ensino médio com dificuldades de leitura, interpretação e expressão oral. Frequentemente, ouvimos alunos falarem que não sabem português ou, até mesmo, que línguas estrangeiras são mais fáceis do que a língua materna. Isso ocorre devido à manutenção do ensino tradicional de língua que prioriza as regras gramaticais, baseado na repetição de conceitos que nem sempre representam situações reais, em vez de questões de reflexão e de uso efetivo da língua. Nesse sentido, este artigo tem por objetivo discutir as concepções das habilidades comunicativas que norteiam as atividades desenvolvidas no projeto de extensão intitulado “Trabalho com as habilidades de leitura e produção textual”, bem como a maneira como se manifestam nessas atividades, através da apresentação e da análise de produções textuais resultantes da aplicação de uma oficina ofertada a estudantes do quinto ano do ensino fundamental da rede pública de ensino. Essa discussão, que toma por base a metodologia sociointeracionista de ensino de língua materna, está apoiada nos trabalhos de Bordini (1989), Koch (2011), Antunes (2007, 2014), Ferrarezi Junior e Carvalho (2016, 2017). O projeto de extensão supramencionado foi proposto por docentes e estudantes do Centro de Letras e Comunicação, da Universidade Federal de Pelotas.

Este artigo tem como objetivos apresentar e discutir a experiência de um curso de extensão em educação popular e metodologias participativas, destacando suas contribuições para uma educação libertadora e contextualizada à realidade de alguns distritos em Minas Gerais, Brasil. A ação extensionista aconteceu no município mineiro do Serro, direcionada aos educadores da rede pública estadual nos distritos de São Gonçalo do Rio das Pedras e Milho Verde, localidades marcadas pelo contexto rural e tradicional quilombola. O curso de 20 horas contemplou os princípios da educação popular, metodologias participativas, interação com mestres dos saberes locais e trocas de experiências entre os educadores. Em um momento em que a educação hegemônica caminha no sentido da homogeneização e virtualização, num contexto político de ataque ao pensamento crítico, e desmonte de políticas para a educação do campo, o curso deu ênfase às práticas pedagógicas que enfatizam a dialogicidade, o pensamento crítico, os afetos, a valorização do contexto local e da diversidade cultural, a integração entre a teoria e prática. Segundo os próprios participantes, o curso possibilitou o aprofundamento das ações em educação popular, gerou a discussão coletiva voltada a proposição de ações resolutivas para os problemas pedagógicos, sociais e ambientais que permeiam o contexto educacional local. Essa experiência suscita a reflexão sobre a importância da extensão universitária junto ao ensino básico e na escola, exercendo a função social da universidade de dialogar, trocar saberes com as comunidades e fomentar ações que potencializam a transformação da realidade ainda desafiadora das escolas públicas.

Published: November 2024

The purpose of this article is to shed light part of the contextual methodological analysis of ceramics found in Artemísion of Thasos, an island located in the North of the Aegeus. Thasos was founded in the 7th century BC by the island of Paros, according to written sources. The sanctuary of Artemis is an important religious marker for understanding the urban expansion of the city, as well as the dynamics of female worship based on Greek Cycladic, Thracian, local and regional elements. The data collected allowed us to understand how materiality reveals issues about feminine and religious aspects based on the ceramic shards found in the sectorial contexts of Artemision of Thasos. Abstract:The aim of this article is to bring to light part of the contextual methodological analysis of the Black Figures lekane (Archaic Period) found in the Artemísion of Thassos, an island located in the North of the Aegean. The sanctuary of Artemis is an important religious marker for understanding the urban expansion of the city, as well as the dynamics of local female worship. The data collection took place from the publication of the descriptive catalog of the black figures lekane of Thassos by A. Coulié in La céramique thasiennes à figures noires of 2002 in ÉtTh XIX, the analysis of a sample of material in loco and the data collection contexts from the Bulletin Correspondance Hellenique, in which we seek to delve deeper into the analysis of archaeological contexts. This study is part of the research in the doctoral thesis, in which we analyzed a sample of 54 vases in the Museum of Thasos, a total of 126 fragments of lekane found in the sanctuary of Artemis. In this article, we will present the analysis of 2 fragments of lekane from the cutting of decorative elements of animal figures typically from Eastern Greece in the archaic period and animals with a monstrous aspect, apparently common signs in the context in question. The theoretical-methodological contribution allowed us to observe important aspects of the particularities of the female cult in Thasos, from the re-insertion of the lekane in the contextual universe and the unveiling of aspects that characterize female and religious attendance from the sectored contexts of Artemísion.

The startup companies in Ukraine: legal base
Authors: Zelisko A.V. , Solomka T.
Published: November 2024

In this article the authors investigates the legal nature and characteristics of a startup company. The authors highlights the concept of a startup through its qualifying features and through the features of the legal entity in the form of which this startup operates. The organizational and legal forms provided in the Ukrainian legislation for legal entities operating in the field of innovation and, potentially, can acquire the status of startup companies are indicated and characterized.Legal conflicts and inaccuracies in the legislation of Ukraine are pointed out, in particular regarding the definition of qualifying features of startup companies and organizational and legal forms in which they operate. Ways to resolve these legal conflicts and ideas for the development of the legal institution of the startup as a whole are proposed.The authors came to the conclusion that the main feature that indicates the legal nature of the Startup is «innovation», (may relate to the introduction of new or significant improvements to old technologies, production processes, types of products or services, etc.). The Law of Ukraine «On Innovation» provides for special documents that regulate this aspect of the legal entity - an innovation project. It is the registration of an innovation project that should be associated with the possibility of identifying the company as a startup, because it contains all aspects of the use of innovations by a legal entity. Determined Startup as a newly created or operating legal entity that has registered an innovation project for the development and implementation of innovations and received in the manner prescribed by law the status of innovation structure and startup. The authors emphasizes that a holistic approach to regulating the status of such legal entities is appropriate to determine the exclusive type of activity, the subject of which is the development and implementation of innovations. This feature will be the basis for registration of the relevant innovative project and the acquisition of the status of a startup company.
Criminal-legal protection of judicial bodies from interference: comparative aspect
Authors: Pulyk V.M.
Published: November 2024

The article emphasizes the importance of protection of criminal justice relations, the independence and impartiality of which are the key to the development of society and the state, in line with relevant policies. Attention is drawn to one of the toughest methods of combating unlawful interference in the administration of justice, which is rightly advocated by the implementation of the mechanism of criminal responsibility, but law enforcement practice in this regard shows the lack of efficiency of criminal justice. The article also analyzes the current state of law enforcement, the practice of which is influenced by a number of factors: the complexity of evidence, latency of criminal acts, reluctance of the judiciary to request an official response, and so on. There are questions about the quality of the norm of Article 376 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, its ability to provide a full response to criminogenic challenges in modern conditions.An analysis of the criminal law of the Romano-Germanic legal system is presented in terms of consolidating responsibility for interference in the activities of the judiciary, which can be classified into two general groups: 1) codified acts in which the analyzed illegal behavior project of criminal law protection, and detailed due to instructions on influence, intervention, obstruction by various means (France, Spain, Poland, Bulgaria); 2) codified acts that do not provide for the protection of the administration of justice in general, and illegal influence / interference in the activities of the judiciary are assessed as torts against the government or the order of performance of duties (Germany, the Netherlands). It has been established that the legislation of the post-socialist states is characterized by the regulation of criminal liability for encroachment on justice, which is either an independent object or a structural unit of another, more general entity - state power (Armenia, Azerbaijan, etc.). The analyzed international experience is suggested to be possible to borrow in terms of expanding the list of victims of illegal behavior, its detailing and differentiation of responsibility with the help of qualified elements of the crime.

This work was designed to evaluate the bioactivity of four monoterpenes, namely carvacrol, p-cymene, eugenol, and iso-eugenol, applied to wood blocks from Pinus sylvestris sapwood using the vapor method against Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, and Fusarium culmorum. These monoterpenes were prepared at 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 µL/mL. The highest fungal inhibition percentage (FIP, 24.4%) against the growth of A. flavus was observed for p-cymene when applied to a wood sample at 100 µL/mL. The highest FIPs observed against the growth of A. niger were 21.5% and 16.3%, by p-cymene and iso-eugenol, respectively, at 100 µL/mL. The highest FIPs observed against the growth of F. culmorum were 41.5 and 27.0% by the application of carvacrol at 100 µL/mL and 80 µL/mL, respectively. This study showed the importance of monoterpenes for antifungal activity and may contribute to the most rational use of these compounds as antimicrobial agents for wood protection.

Nanofibrillated celluloses (NFCs) are of high economic value owing to their inherent properties, and the deployed manufacturing technology is critical to producing high-quality NFCs. The grinding efficiency determines the quality of mechanically fibrillated NFCs. Previously, a finished Taylor-flow grinder was developed by addressing the operating issues and drawbacks of a prototype grinder and, subsequently, a pilot grinder. This study evaluated the grinding efficiency of the Taylor-flow grinder using hardwood bleached kraft pulp (Hw-BKP) as a raw material, carboxymethylated with monochloroacetic acid and other chemicals. Afterward, two sets of carboxymethylated NFCs (CM-NFCs) were prepared using the finished Taylor-flow grinder and a commercial micro-grinder (commercial grinder) for comparison. To do this, the characteristics of the products obtained using both grinders were determined to evaluate the grinding efficiency of the grinder and that of the representative commercial grinder. The results confirmed that the CM-NFCs prepared with the grinder exhibited higher fiber width and lower viscosity than those prepared using the commercial grinder. Moreover, they were relatively uniform and transparent compared with those prepared with the commercial grinder. Thus, a finished Taylor-flow grinder was developed and demonstrated for manufacturing CM-NFCs with higher qualities from Hardwood kraft pulp.

Introduction. In Peru, public budget laws define the level and initial distribution of the health budget. Objective. To analyze the evolution of the level and initial distribution of the health budget in Peru in the period 2019-2024. Methods. Descriptive study. The budget of the Health function was analyzed by budget categories, budget programs, levels of government and departments, from 2019 to 2024, according to data from the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Results. Between 2019 and 2024, the budget for the Health function increased by 35%; while its share in the budget of the General Government increased from 10.8% to 12.2%, respectively. Also, the participation of budgetary programs in the budget decreased; while participation of Regional Governments increased. Between 2019 and 2024, budget programs related to mental health, cancer and emergency and emergency medical care saw a progressive and significant increase in their budget; in contrast, budget programs related to non-communicable diseases, metaxians and zoonoses and tuberculosis-HIV/AIDS had a lower budget than in 2019. Also, 50% of the budget of the Health function was concentrated in 2 or 3 departments, mainly in Lima. Conclusions. There was a general increase in the health budget, although its evolution was irregular. This increase favored actions not linked to results, as well as regional governments. Some budget programs actually lost resources. Few departments concentrated much of the budget.

Objetivo: Analisar a prevalência de dor crônica em pacientes oncológicos, que se encontravam em seguimento de tratamento, no momento da pesquisa.
Métodos: Esse estudo epidemiológico observacional com delineamento transversal, foi realizado na unidade de tratamento oncológico, do hospital Nossa Senhora da Conceição em Tubarão, Santa Catarina.  Foram incluídos pacientes com tumores de cabeça e pescoço, pulmão e brônquios, mama, trato gastrintestinal, urogenital e ginecológico, em seguimento de tratamento via SUS, no período de outubro de 2021 a março de 2022. Em uma primeira oportunidade, utilizou-se um questionário autoaplicável, confeccionado pelos autores, para constatar a existência ou não de dor crônica. Posteriormente, ocorreu uma busca de dados no prontuário eletrônico, a fim de obter os dados sociodemográficos, farmacológicos e de evolução clínica dos pacientes.
Resultados: Foram entrevistados 254 pacientes em seguimento de tratamento para o câncer. Em geral houve uma prevalência de dor crônica em 50,4% dos participantes e a maior prevalência de dor crônica em mulheres, sendo 55,9% (p= 0.031). A intensidade de dor mais relatada foi a moderada, em 21% dos entrevistados e os tumores mais associados a dor crônica foram os de cabeça e pescoço (77,8%) e pulmão e brônquios (61,9%). Para o tratamento farmacológico 55,1% notou alívio após o uso, com uma alta taxa de AINES e opioides fortes entre os fármacos mais utilizados. 37% recorreram ao uso de tratamentos não farmacológicos, entre os principais estavam a fisioterapia, massagem e acompanhamento com psicólogo.
Conclusões: Os achados desse estudo indicaram uma alta prevalência de dor crônica em portadores de câncer, apesar de haver uma evolução quanto ao seu tratamento, tanto de maneira farmacológica como não farmacológica nos últimos anos. Mais pesquisas abordando dor crônica oncológica, são necessárias para traçar o perfil desses pacientes e melhorar o manejo dos mesmos.

Objective: to compare the incidence of congenital syphilis (CS) before and after the introduction of the rapid treponemal test and to determine whether there were changes in the clinical characteristics and severity of this disease. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted in the community of Viamão, Brazil. Reported cases of CS identified by maternal screening with a nontreponemal test (group I) and those identified by screening with a rapid treponemal test (group II) were compared. Data were obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN). Results: 302 cases of CS were detected in the sample, with an incidence of 7.7 ‰ live births (80 / 10,369) in group I and 23.2 ‰ (222 / 9,538) in group II (p=0.000). After the introduction of the rapid treponemal test, there was a slightly higher proportion of pregnant women (1 (2.0 %) x 14 (8.8 %); p = 0.12) and their sexual partners (6 (11.8 %) x 38 (24.0 %); p = 0.12) who received adequate treatment during prenatal care, there were fewer newborns with clinical manifestations (11 (16.7%) x 12 (6. 2%); p = 0.02) and proven or highly probable CS (16 (24.2%) x 29 (14.8%); p = 0.10). The incidence per group of proven or highly probable CS was 1.5 and 3.0 ‰ live births, and possible CS was 4.7 and 16.6 ‰ (p = 0,10), respectively. Conclusion: screening with the rapid treponemal test was associated with a slight improvement in maternal management and fewer clinically affected neonates, although the incidence of CS increased significantly. This raises doubts about the quality of prenatal care for gestational syphilis.

Authors: Rocha Alves Davison Hugo , Soares de Camargo Lizinete
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo aborda a questão étnico-racial em sala de aula na cidade de Marabá/PA. Foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa com os alunos da turma do 9º ano, da Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental São Francisco, na cidade de Marabá/PA, com o intuito de instigar os alunos sobre a abordagem da diversidade cultural em sala de aula. O objetivo do artigo é debater o racismo e a construção de uma sociedade antirracista, conforme a aplicação da Lei nº 10.639 (Brasil, 2003), evidenciando sua aplicação no ensino de História em uma escola municipal, na cidade de Marabá/PA. Ao mesmo tempo, pretende-se explanar a implementação da lei federal mencionada. Abordamos os autores Almeida (2019), Munanga (2005, 2012), Cavalleiro (2001), Gomes (2005) e Mattos (2009), que discutem o racismo e o preconceito racial atualmente. A metodologia utilizada foi qualitativa e quantitativa, baseada também na coleta de dados do campo da pesquisa, a partir do diálogo com Goldenberg (2004). Tais resultados mostram a necessidade de se trabalhar a Lei nº 10.639/03 (Brasil, 2003) dentro do currículo escolar, considerando a permanência da perspectiva eurocêntrica na referida escola municipal.
