IMPACTO DA PANDEMIA DE COVID-19 NA SAÚDE MENTAL DAS EQUIPES DE ENFERMAGEM NO BRASIL E O ENFRENTAMENTO FRENTE A ESTE DESAFIO - REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA
Authors: Mota Luana Silva Medeiros , Junior Rodrigues Soares Pedro
Published: September 2021

OBJETIVO: Analisar sob a luz da produção científica o impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 na saúde mental das equipes de enfermagem no Brasil e quais as estratégias de enfrentamento frente a esse desafio. MÉTODO: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa sobre os conteúdos técnico-científicos, publicados no Brasil sobre as equipes de enfermagem no âmbito da pandemia de COVID-19. Foram selecionados na amostra final 08 artigos cuja busca foi realizada na base de dados Latino Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Sistema Online de Busca e análise de Literatura Médica (MEDLINE), através da Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde (BVS) e Scielo, no período de agosto 2020 a maio de 2021. A escolha dos descritores utilizados nesta revisão foi feita mediante consulta ao Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DECS), sendo estes: Infecções por COVID-19 / saúde mental / impacto / equipe de enfermagem / enfrentamento, e, após a análise descritiva dos resultados, foram elaboradas quatro categorias analíticas.  RESULTADOS: A pandemia de COVID-19 colocou em evidência os reflexos da situação precária na área de saúde, destacando como principais agravos à saúde mental. Diante desses fatores, foram estabelecidas estratégias para o enfrentamento da pandemia. CONCLUSÃO: Observou-se que na literatura há muitas propostas para o enfrentamento dos agravos, porém, existe um déficit de publicações a respeito dos resultados dessas estratégias, considerando que são fundamentais para conservar a saúde mental, pois, uma equipe de enfermagem com mais qualidade de vida reflete em uma melhoria na qualidade dos cuidados prestados.

Os estudantes de medicina enfrentam eventos estressantes ao longo de sua carreira relacionados ao treinamento médico, tornando-os o grupo de estudantes mais angustiados entre todos os estudantes de graduação. Dessa forma, realizadou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura para avaliar a prevalência de transtornos mentais comuns (TMC) em estudantes de medicina no Brasil e discutir o possível impacto da pandemia do COVID-19 no agravamento dessa condição. Logo, termos relacionados a faculdades de medicina, estudantes de medicina, saúde mental, transtornos mentais e Brasil foram buscados nas bases de dados PubMed, PsycINFO, SCIELO e LILACS. Foram incluídos estudos transversais que avaliaram a TMC entre estudantes de medicina no Brasil, utilizando o já validado Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), e calculou-se uma média ponderada da prevalência desses distúrbios nos estudos encontrados. Avaliou-se também artigos relacionados à saúde mental dos estudantes de medicina em todo o mundo diante da pandemia da COVID-19. Houve a identificação de 663 registros na busca bibliográfica, dos quais 21 estudos preencheram os critérios de elegibilidade, totalizando 5344 estudantes de medicina. Após os cálculos, foi encontrada uma prevalência média de 35,9% de TMC nessa população. Portanto, uma alta prevalência de TMC entre estudantes de medicina no Brasil foi observada, o que predispõe um forte impacto negativo na saúde mental desses acadêmicos durante o período da pandemia do COVID-19, tornando necessário o lançamento de novas campanhas de educação e conscientização em saúde mental, envolvendo instituições de educação médica, famílias e comunidade em que o aluno está inserido.

In recent years, microbial control of insect pests is becoming popular as insect pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and nematodes serve as potential bioagents in pest management. Among the different microbial agents, entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are gaining importance in pest control. They can be easily mass cultured on artificial media without affecting their virulence at a cheaper cost. They are highly species specific with minimal impact on non-target organisms. The current study aimed to study the efficacy of entomopathogenic fungal isolates against aphid, Myzus Persicae (Sulz.) in chilli. Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to evaluate the pathogenicity of Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Lecanicillium lecanii against chilli aphid. From the study it is revealed that B. bassiana @ 108 spores ml-1 were found to be effective and found to be more superior to the other entomopathogenic fungal isolates viz., Metarhizium anisopliae and Lecanicillium lecanii against chilli aphid.

Published: September 2021

Humans are the only species on the planet Earth who do not contribute in the natural environmental cycle but has always been the exploiter of the limited resources. Tecer (2007) told that Environmental deterioration, extinction, or pollution in many vital earth systems, such as air, water, soil, forest, and biological diversity have required countries to develop policies for protecting and developing the earth and promoting global cooperation on these issues. Atasoy (2005) concluded in his study that Environmental problems have become globalized and have reached the stage where they present a threat to life on Earth. This situation has led to the review of people's relationships with nature, their attitudes and behaviors towards the environment, the duties and responsibilities assumed by the individual towards nature, and the redefinition of ecological culture and environmental awareness. It is imperative to be Environmentally Responsible in the present scenario where awareness on the effect of responsible behavior already exists in abundance through media, curriculum, and social activities.

Published: September 2021

“Educated society” is the term used as a modern paradigm to describe the future of our society all over the world. This has led every philosopher or intellectual to inquire, research and study into this realm. Education starts at an early age and is tightly knit with the learning process and how the knowledge is acquired. Constructivism is one the more popular theory of knowledge and learning proposed as early as 1936 by Jean Piaget and later Vygotsky &Glasersfled.Traditional teaching methods have been used ever since in children’s education system but havenot been much fruitful. The authors in this research paper have identified why traditional teaching pedagogy may lack successand propose constructivist approach in the field of research and effective learning.

Over the past few years, the NBFC sector in India has witnessed a noteworthy transformation by catering to employment generation, infrastructure development, wealth creation and financial upliftment of the weaker sections. With the growing credit of NBFCs, their profitability becomes an important aspect for their existence. Hence, the current student is aimed at identifying the determinants of profitability of Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in India. The data pertaining to top 10 NBFCs listed on BSE for a period of five years from FY2015-16 to FY2019-20 was considered as sample for the study. Two different regression models were used for the data analysis where ROA and ROE were used as dependent variables. Capital adequacy, asset quality, operating profitability and net interest margin were used as independent variables in both the models. It was found that capital adequacy and operating profitability has significant impact on ROA. Whereas the factors significantly impacting ROE were capital adequacy, operating profitability and net interest margin.

Published: September 2021

Abstract. The Low Orbit Pearl Satellite series consists of six
constellations, with each constellation consisting of three identical
microsatellites that line up just like a string of pearls. The first
constellation of three satellites were launched on 29 September 2017, with
an inclination of ∼ 35.5∘ and ∼ 600 km
altitude. Each satellite is equipped with three identical fluxgate
magnetometers that measure the in situ magnetic field and its low-frequency fluctuations in the Earth's low-altitude orbit. The triple sensor
configuration enables separation of stray field effects generated by the
spacecraft from the ambient magnetic field (e.g., Zhang et al., 2006). This
paper gives a general description of the magnetometer including the instrument
design, calibration before launch, in-flight calibration, in-flight performance, and initial results. Unprecedented spatial coverage
resolution of the magnetic field measurements allow for the investigation of the
dynamic processes and electric currents of the ionosphere and magnetosphere,
especially for the ring current and equatorial electrojet during both
quiet geomagnetic conditions and storms. Magnetic field measurements from LOPS could be important for studying
the method to separate their contributions of the Magnetosphere-Ionosphere (M-I) current system.
The role of ecosystem engineers in shaping the diversity and function of arid soil bacterial communities
Authors: Baubin Capucine , Farrell Arielle M. , Št'ovíček Adam , Ghazaryan Lusine , Giladi Itamar , Gillor Osnat
Published: September 2021

Abstract. Ecosystem engineers (EEs) are present in every environment and are known to
strongly influence ecological processes and thus shape the distribution of
species and resources. In this study, we assessed the direct and indirect
effect of two EEs (perennial shrubs and ant nests), individually and combined,
on the composition and function of arid soil bacterial communities. To that
end, topsoil samples were collected in the Negev desert highlands during the dry season from four patch types: (1) barren soil; (2) under shrubs; (3) near
ant nests; or (4) near ant nests situated under shrubs. The bacterial
community composition and potential functionality were evaluated in the soil
samples (14 replicates per patch type) using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing together with physico-chemical measures of the soil. We have found that the EEs affected the community composition differently. Barren patches supported a soil microbiome, dominated by Rubrobacter and Proteobacteria, while in EE patches Deinococcus-Thermus dominated. The presence of the EEs similarly enhanced the abundance of
phototrophic, nitrogen cycle, and stress-related genes. In addition, the soil characteristics were altered only when both EEs were combined. Our results
suggest that arid landscapes foster unique communities selected by patches
created by each EE(s), solo or in combination. Although the communities' composition differs, they support similar potential functions that may have a
role in surviving the harsh arid conditions. The combined effect of the EEs on
soil microbial communities is a good example of the hard-to-predict
non-additive features of arid ecosystems that merit further research.

Responsabilidades y resistencias. Memorias de vecinos de la dictadura
Authors: Greco Mauro
Published: September 2021

Responsabilidades y resistencias. Memorias de vecinos de la dictadura aborda el problema de la responsabilidad colectiva ante la última dictadura argentina (1976-1983). La temática tiene en la experiencia europea del nazismo un precedente ineludible: las reflexiones de Karl Jaspers y Hannah Arendt al respecto siguen siendo una lectura obligatoria. En la Argentina, la conducta del "hombre/mujer común y corriente" bajo dictadura fue una preocupación presente ya durante el transcurso del último golpe de Estado. El campo del arte gestó un pensamiento propio sobre la sociedad argentina bajo dictadura. Las novelas y películas analizadas en este libro dan cuenta de responsabilidades colectivas y pequeñas resistencias por parte de vecinos de Centros Clandestinos de Detención. Lejos de conformar meros artefactos de consumo cultural para el divertimento o la concientización ciudadana, estas películas y novelas constituyen “vehículos de memoria” bajo los cuales se transportaron determinados sentidos –condenatorios, justificatorios, comprensivos–. Este análisis hermenéutico fue articulado con un trabajo de campo en las vecindades de un ex Centro Clandestino de Detención en Santa Rosa (La Pampa) –donde el autor transcurrió su infancia y adolescencia–, porque en la intertextualidad de memorias se dibuja una figura de la convivencia bajo dictadura no apta para categorías cartesianas. Este libro, sin embargo, espera aportar toda la precisión de la que sea capaz para sumarse a un debate tan clásico como contemporáneo: por qué podemos desear la represión.
Kiprah Rachma Saloh dalam“Wahana Budaya Nusantara”di Belanda
Authors: Aridhini Laras
Published: September 2021

Di era yang semakin mengglobal, budaya lokal harus dipertahankan sebagai jatidiri bangsa. Kini, budaya lokal dapat disajikan melalui media sosial tanpa mengurangi nilai yang tersirat di dalamnya. Seni tari adalah salah satu wujud seni pertunjukan yang kompleks. Berbeda dengan musik nonpertunjukan yang bisa dinikmati sambil melakukan aktivitas lain. Tari dan seni pertunjukan lainnya memerlukan lebih banyak waktu bagi seseorang untuk menikmatinya karena memerlukan dimensi ruang danwaktu (Irianto, 2017). Wahana Budaya Nusantara (WBN) adalah kelompok seni yang selalu menarik minat masyarakat Belanda agar mencintai budaya Indonesia. Di dalam WBN terdapat sosok Rachma sebagai perempuan berdaya (agensi individu) yang merintis dan mengembangkan budaya Indonesia melalui berbagai jenis tarian. WBN perlu diulas dalam kajian ini agar pembaca (khususnya masyarakat Indonesia) semakin mencintai budaya nusantara. Selain itu, sosok seperti Rachma perlu dijadikan teladan dalam pelestarian budaya. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengumpulan data adalah observasi partisipasi dan wawancara daring. Sementara itu, metode analisis menggunakan studi literatur. WBN terbentuk dari gagasan Rachma dan dikembangkan bersama para anggota yang jumlahnya tidak begitu banyak. Penampilan WBN selalu dinantikan dalam setiap pasar malam dan beberapa event semi-privat.  Proses pembelajaran selalu terjadi dalam WBN selama ini sehingga diharapkan menjadi suatu pesan semangat agar kita tidak mengenal kata terlambat untuk memulai belajar hal baru.
Corporate Governance and Firm Performance in State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in Zambia: A Systematic Review
Authors: Mumba Bryson , Kazonga Eustarckio
Published: September 2021

The research systematically documented and described the corporate governance practices and financial performance in State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) in Zambia from 2006 to 2017. The research design that was adopted was the descriptive research design to systematically describe the corporate governance practices and financial performance of SOEs in Zambia. The corporate governance attributes for SOEs such as board size, board appointing authorities and board membership have been found to be prescribed by a diversity of Acts of Parliament for different SOEs. This finding suggests that the governance of these entities could be a challenge insofar as the uniformity of the legal framework for the governance of the entities was concerned. In addition to this, board membership which are designated by specific government positions rather than merit based, compromises board effectiveness. The study has further shown that failure to produce and publish, for public scrutiny, audited financial statements on a timely basis leads to lack of transparency and accountability. The financial performance has been found to have been poor as the SOEs on average produced negative returns on total assets and the SOEs were highly geared based on operating gearing and financing gearing. Lastly, financial performance of SOEs and the corporate governance practices differed significantly across different industries under which the SOEs operated.

Pericarditi acute e ricorrenti in Pediatria
Authors: Della Paolera Sara , Favretto Elena , Bobbo Marco , Barbi Egidio , Gortani Giulia
Published: September 2021

Chest pain in children and adolescents is rarely associated with an underlying heart disease. How-ever, when it does occur, pericarditis is the most common cause. Most cases are of unknown origin (idiopathic) and mild. Up to 15-35% of paediatric patients with idiopathic pericarditis experience a recurrence during their lives and clinical management in these cases may be challenging. NSAIDs are the first-choice drugs for the treatment of acute idiopathic pericarditis. Corticosteroids should be reserved for refractory pericarditis and autoimmune or autoinflammatory disorders with peri-cardial involvement. Colchicine plays a central role for the management of recurrent forms while anakinra has recently emerged as a remedy for colchicine-resistant and corticosteroid-dependent recurrent pericarditis.
Guida pratica alla spirometria attraverso i casi

Spirometry is a very useful test in paediatric clinical practice. Nevertheless, to avoid making mistakes, it is important to keep in mind its role and what can be measured and how. “On which patients should spirometry be performed? What does the clinician want to rule out? Is the result reliable? What should be avoided?”. So, by answering these questions, it is possible to get the best out of this resource and interpret the results critically. For this purpose, this article is addressed to ‘non-experts’, it discusses the main points and provides practical ‘tricks’ through most common clinical cases.

Hybridities on the Final Frontier: Bio-utilitarianism in Star Trek
Authors: Hogan Jackie , Decker James M.
Published: September 2021

The long-lived Star Trek franchise illuminates the evolution of social priorities and anxieties over more than fifty years. Specifically, it provides a useful lens on shifting attitudes toward science, technology, diversity, and hybridity. This article suggests that Star Trek is grounded in what we call a bio-utilitarian ethos, that embraces techno-scientific changes if they contribute to the greater good but rejects them if they increase individual happiness at the expense of the whole. An examination of multiple forms of hybridity on the “final frontier” further reveals that the franchise has moved toward an increasingly apprehensive and pessimistic preoccupation with the technological and genetic enhancement of humanity. This shift reflects, and potentially shapes, attitudes toward real-world techno-scientific developments.
“I would not comply”
Authors: Ishee Jenifer
Published: September 2021

Many notable scholars have focused on the breakdown of Indian-white relations in Pennsylvania during the Seven Years’ War and the near total collapse of relations that occurred in the region. While there is evidence to suggest there were areas of accommodation in other mid-Atlantic regions, the situation in Pennsylvania between settlers and the Native population was particularly brutal. This study focuses attention on three groups of historical actors who were heavily involved in the breakdown—the Delaware, the Scots Irish Covenanters, and the provincial Quakers—through the lens of the captivity narrative of Jean McCord Lowry. Lowry's unique narrative exemplifies the Covenanter experience of the Seven Years’ War. As part of a larger body of research, this study suggests that what lay at the heart of all the other considerations in Pennsylvania during the Seven Years’ War—for land, riches, conquest, and revenge—was a Euro-American war of religion.

Objective: This study evaluates timetable of calcification stages of the second permanent molars (SPMs) based on panoramic radiographic findings from a selected group of Iranian patients. Methods: This descriptive, analytical and cross sectional study uses 715 panoramic radiographs of subjects with optimal quality between 5 to 17 years of age (n=60 for each age group) whom were selected from the referrals to the departments of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry of at Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Patients with systemic diseases or any kind of syndromes were excluded. Calcification stages were determined based on Demirjian's classification. Data were analyzed using generalized estimating equation (GEE). Results: Only 20% of SPMs of 5 year-olds were in their 2nd stage of calcification and the remaining showed higher stages. The mean age of crown completion was around 8.5 years while the mean ages of root completion for the open and closed apices were 13 years and 3 months and 15.5 years, respectively. Also calcification occurred at earlier ages among girls. Conclusion: Timetable of calcification of SPMs is useful to predict the onset of puberty. Demirjian’s classification well matches Iranian population for determining calcification stage of SMPs. Keywords: Permanent Molar, Tooth Calcification, Forensic Dentistry, Iranian Population Key Messages: Mean age at different stages of calcification of the second permanent molars could be effective in forensic dentistry as well as for diagnostic and treatment purposes.

The aim of the study is to find out and improve the strength of supply chain integration thorough testing the effect of antecedents on Supply Chain Integration (SCI). SCI is a key element for improving supply chain performance and competitiveness. The population of the study is manufacturing concerns and data were collected from the managers. The study investigates the hypotheses that internal communication, leader support and employee satisfaction have a positive and significant effect on internal integration but the conflict negatively influences the internal integration. Internal integration subsequently influences external integration. Secondly, the direct impact of internal communication and employee satisfaction on external integration is also tested. The finding shows, all the hypotheses are accepted except one. As well as managerial implications are concerned, managers should equally focus on employee satisfaction and internal communication to have better external integration.

This paper identified the role of the independent variable like service quality, taking perceived value, word of mouth and customer satisfaction (mediation/ intervening variables) in creating customer loyalty (dependent variable) among the telecom user (mobile phone users). The empirical portion have extensive literature regarding the mentioned variables and shown their impact towards the customer loyalty. The telecom industry has been facing cut throat competition due to the market saturation, decrease in ARPU (average revenue per user), and shift to internet based (cheaper sources) communication tools, unexpected mergers, higher cost and decreasing the margin. Thus, telecom companies have been thinking about devising the best possible suitable strategies for creating the customer to maintain their survival and growth. The simple random techniques are used for sample selection and self-administration questionnaire is the tool for collecting data. A sample of 300 universities students from Rawalpindi and Islamabad is base for analysis. Amos 20 is the software and SEM is the tool for extracting result. Dual relationship is tested likewise direct (service quality and customer loyalty) and indirect through mediating variables. Results showed that customer satisfaction is the strongest mediator in developing a high-quality customer loyalty service, and it has more effect than the direct link between quality of service and customer loyalty. It leads industrial professionals to develop a strategy based on customer satisfaction. It is concluded that customer satisfaction increases the level of the industrial professionalism. Hence the customer satisfaction increases the service quality and customer loyalty services. In nutshell, the cooperate image and switching barrier can be possible leads for the future research.

Globalization is a multi-dimensional phenomena with profound impact on different aspects of the modern world including economic, social, political, cultural, environmental, and geographical. This study is an attempt to analyze the subject that how various components of globalization i.e. trade openness, financial liberalization and labor mobility impact the economic dynamics of a developing country by affecting the performance of selected macroeconomic variables including budget deficit, inflation and economic growth. In this particular research we used the terms trade openness and liberalization along with financial openness, financial liberalization and financial development interchangeably. The purpose is to capture the overall impact irrespective of the nature as considering nature would lead to contradictory results. The increasing importance of labor flow is also given due attention in this study as human capital is an inevitable avenue for the effective and sustainable growth of any country. Various global factors effect budget deficits, inflation and economic growth with varying intensities depending upon the size and dynamics of the economy. The empirical analysis involves the time series data for years 1973-2014 for the case of Pakistan. The Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) methodology is used to derive the results and conclusion further seconded by the policy suggestions made in the light of this study.

Digital Technology Education and its Impact on Traditional Academic Roles and Practice

Published: September 2021

This paper explores the interface between digital technologies and the teaching labour process in Australian higher education. We develop an adaptation of the seminal Clark (1983, 1994, 2001) and Kozma (1991, 1994) debate about whether technology merely delivers educational content unchanged – technology as the ‘delivery truck’ – or whether education is changed as a result of using different technologies – education as ‘groceries’. Our adaptation is an extension of this metaphor to include the academic teacher as the driver of the grocery truck. With the implementation of new educational technologies, the human resource management aspects of job design, motivation, skilling and work identity are often overlooked, with critical debate about the impact on the teaching labour process seldom considered. In this argument, we will unpack the Clark-Kozma dichotomy of the education/technology interface by looking beyond the embedding of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Australian higher education to examine more broadly the changes to the traditional academic role as the creator, developer and delivery agent of the educational groceries. This has been reinforced by the marketisation of the sector and the concomitant reconfiguration of the traditional teaching process. All this has led to changes in the sense of work identity for academics (McShane, 2006). While we embrace ICT as a potential benefit for both students and academic teachers, we seek to ensure that the ‘truck driver’s’ evolving role is acknowledged in scholarly debates and included in models of learning and teaching if long-term sustainable work practices are to be achieved. One such model is offered.
