Religiões de Matriz Africana na Resistência
Authors: Carrillo Guach Hans , Rivera López Angélica María
Published: February 2019

As religiões de matriz africana, recorrentemente têm sido alvos de discriminações e preconceitos. Este cenário, consequência de relações de poder e dominação, tem constituído uma tentativa de impor formas universais de religiosidade. Conjuntamente, tem colaborado não só para ignorar a natureza de IFÁ-Òrìsà como religião em si mesma, além para desconhecer os aportes desta tradição para a configuração harmônica das relações sociais, conforme ocorreria com religiões de origem católica. Diante deste contexto, o presente artigo pretende descrever algumas logicas do culto IFÁ-Òrìsà, como prática imersa num processo de resistência contra denominações alheias a sua própria essência. Para isso tudo, metodologicamente se utiliza a análise de bibliografias de diversa índole (cientifica e textos litúrgicos de IFÁ), que possibilitaram demonstrar que dita tradição se constitui como uma religião, contrariamente às designações pejorativas das quais têm sido objeto: fetiche, bruxaria, coisas de pessoas atrasadas.
Turismo, Unidades de Conservação e Inclusão Social: Uma análise da “Área de Proteção Ambiental Recifes de Corais” (APARC)
Authors: Oliveira Wagner Araújo , Sonaglio Kerlei Eniele
Published: February 2019

O trabalho objetiva conhecer como o planejamento e a gestão do turismo no âmbito da Área de Proteção Ambiental dos Recifes de Corais (APARC) vêm sendo desenvolvido sob a ótica da inclusão social das populações tradicionais do entorno. Adotou-se a abordagem qualitativa, de caráter exploratório e descritivo. Como instrumento de coleta, realizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturados, tendo como população do estudo os atores relacionados dinâmica turística, além da apreciação de documentos oficiais e legais. O método de análise de conteúdo permitiu compreender as relações e foi baseado nas dimensões da inclusão social no turismo de Sancho & Irving (2011). Foi possível constatar que o processo de criação da APARC não foi conduzido de modo participativo e consultivo em seus processos de criação e implementação. Além disso, foi possível perceber que a inclusão social no planejamento e gestão do turismo na APARC está atrelado, exclusivamente, a capacidade da atividade em gerar emprego e renda, sobretudo com a criação de novos postos de trabalhos que o mercado turístico oferece. Nesse sentido, permite-se afirmar que a concepção desse conceito impera em uma abordagem majoritariamente econômica, marcada por um discurso reducionista.

Authors: Morettoni Marina Marins
Published: February 2019

O presente trabalho se caracteriza como uma revisão bibliográfica de caráter qualitativo. Parte da percepção de que a paisagem cultural vem ganhando visibilidade nos estudos do turismo e dos museus, no cenário nacional e internacional. Deste modo, o estudo visa compreender as diferentes abordagens e metodologias utilizadas em pesquisas que se localizam na interseção entre o turismo, os museus e a paisagem cultural. Para tal foram levantados um total de dez artigos – nas bases Scopus, Web of Science e Spell. A partir da análise dos artigos levantados, percebeu-se que há um consenso na apropriação das paisagens culturais para o desenvolvimento do turismo, onde os museus desempenham o papel de atrativo turístico. Identificou-se, também, a ausência de rigor metodológico na maioria das publicações analisadas.

O Que nos Faz Humanos? Bases Empíricas e Evolutivas das Principais Transições da Linhagem Hominínia
Authors: Glória Pedro Da
Published: February 2019

A evolução da linhagem humana é um assunto de alta relevância para o entendimento da morfologia e do comportamento de humanos modernos. Todavia, no Brasil há pouca produção bibliográfica sobre o assunto e uma carência na formação de alunos versados sobre esse tópico. Em continuidade aos esforços feitos por pesquisadores como Paulo Abrantes, este texto trabalha com as principais transições na linhagem hominínia, do momento de seu aparecimento há cerca de sete milhões de anos na África até o surgimento do Homo sapiens há 200 mil anos. A evolução humana é organizada aqui em três grandes transições. A primeira delas foi o surgimento da bipedia e a diminuição dos caninos. A segunda foi o surgimento das ferramentas de pedra, a expansão do cérebro e a diminuição dental. E por fim, a terceira transição foi o surgimento do pensamento simbólico. Esses tópicos são abordados em uma perspectiva evolutiva, dando ênfase para as evidências empíricas mais atuais sobre o assunto. Por fim, assim como defendido por Paulo Abrantes, a evolução humana é um tópico relevante para se discutir o papel da biologia e da cultura em nossa espécie, sendo que ambas foram atuantes no processo evolutivo de formação da nossa espécie.
MECHANICAL ASPECTS OF A GROWING TUMOR
Authors: M. Resende Anna Claudia , C. Almeida Regina , L. Rocha Heber , A. B. F. Lima Ernesto
Published: February 2019

Abstract. Cell stresses have a key role on the tumor growth rate, the evolution pattern and on ECM synthesis and organization. In this work, we investigate the interplay between these complex biological phenomena. We develop a heterogeneous tumor growth model subjected to elastic deformation and matrix degradation and remodeling. We incorporate mechanical effects of the surrounding tissue on the growing tumor by assuming that the stress components must satisfy the conservation of linear momentum disregarding inertial effects. We investigate tumor differentiation, morphogenic evolution, and invasion through different feedback mechanism models. Numerical simulations are performed to highlight how mechanical properties of a tissue contribute to cancer progression.Keywords: Mathematical Model, Tumor Growth, Sensitivity Analysis, Mechanical Properties

Authors: De Morais Adriano Atima , Pereira William Macedo
Published: February 2019

Resumo: Nesse artigo foi elaborado um estudo de pré-viabilidade da implantação de uma usina incineradora de resíduos sólidos urbanos para a geração de energia elétrica na região metropolitana do Distrito Federal. Estima-se que 79,9 milhões de toneladas de resíduos sólidos são gerados no Brasil e apenas 9,1% tem a destinação final adequada. Das mais de 5 mil toneladas de resíduo sólido gerado por dia na região, apenas 3% são tratados de forma adequada. Uma das principais alternativas tecnológicas que unem o tratamento dos resíduos sólidos urbanos e a geração de energia elétrica é a incineração destes, estudada neste trabalho. Adota-se aqui uma metodologia hipotético-dedutiva na qual busca-se avaliar a viabilidade da utilização de RSU para aplicação em projetos de aproveitamento energético. Foram realizadas análises econômico-financeira do empreendimento, estimativas de custos de implantação, custos de operação e manutenção, créditos de carbono e receitas, incluindo indicadores financeiros, como Valor Presente Líquido, Taxa Interna de Retorno e Payback Descontado, permitindo a análise de sensibilidade desta por meio da elaboração de cenários através do valor do investimento inicial, fluxo de caixa dos períodos analisados e taxa mínima de atratividade. Conclui-se que esse tipo de empreendimento apresenta viabilidade técnico-econômica a partir dos principais indicadores sugeridos pela literatura apenas no cenário onde apresenta resultados com TIR para o período de 12 anos.

Bioética na Pesquisa Engenharia Biomédica: diminuição do uso de animais em experimentos científicos
Authors: Fonseca Marcos Augusto M , Luz Glécia V.S. , Santos Paulo R , Viveiros Cássia C.M. , Rosa Suélia R.F.
Published: February 2019

Atividades de pesquisa utilizando animais são realizadas desde a antiguidade, o bem-estar do animal não era prioridade. Com a evolução da pesquisa, houve, também, a crescente preocupação com a ética e métodos que poderiam substituir o uso de cobaias animais nos experimentos científicos. Tal conscientização manifestou-se já no início do século XIX, na Inglaterra, com o surgimento de movimentos que se dedicavam a mudar as atitudes do homem em relação aos animais. Desde então, ativistas argumentam que métodos alternativos são capazes de substituir a utilização de animais em pesquisa, e que, por isso, a utilização de seres vivos é considerada como obsoleta. Por outro lado, alguns cientistas argumentam que a experimentação é o que traz frutos das pesquisas. O presente trabalho apresenta um levantamento de dissertações e teses defendidas no Instituto de Biologia da Universidade de Brasília no ano de 2017 que realizaram testes in vitro e in vivo além de trazer uma reflexão sobre o assunto e visa ressaltar as vantagens do uso de métodos alternativos. Para este estudo, foram utilizados artigos e dissertações das bases de dados CAPES e PubMed, bem como outras referências presentes neles. Concluiu-se que, embora não haja tecnologia suficiente para erradicar o uso de animais em experimentos, existem diversos métodos alternativos que não comprometem o estudo realizado.

Preparation and Electrochemical Characterization of Microcapsules Containing Calcium Nitrate in Self-Healing Concrete
Authors: Kim Changkyu , Goldsberry Reece , Karayan Ahmad Ivan , Milla Jose , Hassan Marwa , Castaneda Homero
Published: February 2019

We present the preparation and inhibition behavior of rebar in the presence of microencapsulated calcium nitrate (CN) with concentrations of 0.5, 2.0, and 5 wt.% in concrete. From both open circuit potential (OCP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy spectra, it was found that an addition of CN corrosion inhibitor-containing microcapsules into concrete beams successfully repassivated or maintained the passivity of the rebar when the concrete was cracked. This corrosion inhibitor healed the rebar by forming a passive layer on the rebar surface under the crack. This healing process was evident by an increase of OCP values to more positive values or by stable OCP values at around -100 mV vs SCE. An increase in phase angle after corrosion activation for CN C 2% clearly showed this healing process. The optimum concentration for maintaining the passivity on rebar in the cracked concrete was found to be 5 wt.%.

Published: February 2019

Background: Women deserves the essence of being made aware of the idea that they are much-needed, vital humans before respect and recognition and not perfunctory beings to be displayed like vegetables in a Market. The culture of imposing will and setting a threshold for a girl’s ‘marriageable age’ is brutal. And so is the trend of making a girl exhibit herself before strangers who could throw any piece of unbound judgments about the physical and social appearance of the girl without having to offer any compunction. The aim of our study was to explore the psychological impact of matrimonial showcasing on the mental health of women.

Methodology: An observational study was conducted through a structured questionnaire that inquired the subject’s demographic details and the psychological and emotional adverse impacts of matrimonial display was also monitored. Data was collected from 100 females from diverse age groups and occupational statuses. All unmarried females were included in the study while married were excluded. The collected data was then analyzed using SPSS version 22. All quantitative variables were summarized as mean, standard deviation (SD) while frequency and percentages were given for qualitative variables.  

Results: Results suggested that a high ratio of females think that these matrimonial services are used as a business and felt disrespectful because of such rejections which were made on the basis of complexion, height, weight, cast, and financial instability.

Conclusion: Our results indicate two major aspects related to mental health of these girls, one is direct impact of this every other day showcasing that is leading such girls to range of behavioral difficulties and second is the collective concern about the effect of these annoyances in the girl’s social living that can be an essential factor of overall development of unconstructive societal impact.

Authors: Tariq Warisha , Khalid Khan Zainab , Paracha Hafsa
Published: February 2019

Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is a chronic progressive skeletal muscle disorder, which leads to an increased risk of fracture due to low mineral density. It is one of the major global health problems and most people are unaware of it. Education of OP was one of the key factors to reduce the risk from the society.

Methodology: This observational cross-sectional survey was conducted from October 2017 to March 2018. A sample size of 252 was calculated through Open Source Epidemiologic Statistics for Public Health (Open EPI) version 3.0 with a hypothesized frequency of 79.4% confident limit of 5%, design effect of 1% and confidence level of 95%. Undergraduate students of DPT i.e. 3rd to 5th-year students were research participants & those who already had some knowledge regarding OP via any kind of workshop and conference were excluded. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used for sampling purpose. OP was evaluated through OKAT scale. Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 was selected for data entry and analysis.

Result: Out of 252 participants, 81.3% of students were female while only 18.7% were males. According to our results, 20.6% students were found having poor knowledge regarding OP, 77% participants had satisfactory knowledge and only 2.4% students were having good knowledge regarding the awareness of OP and its related risk factors.

Conclusion: OP is a crucial health problem which is significantly rising in many countries, so the awareness regarding this progressive disorder is essential. Interventional programmes and campaigns should be held across the globe to increase awareness in society.

Published: February 2019

Background: In recent times, transmission of information over a wireless channel is increasing at an exponential rate. Applications based on IOT will exceed all form of data available over the internet, it can be in the form of data based on videos and images which alone size up to 70% of the global traffic.

Methodology: In this paper, an encoding technique based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) have been utilized to reduce information of a CT image that is unwanted or a human eye is unable to perceive. For medical images, preserving maximum information in order to properly diagnose any disease is important and for such application, the amount of quantization needed to gain an image with minimum error is to observe the Correlation index (CI).

Results: CI at 50% Quality Quantization Table (QQT) for image 1 was found to be 0.9981 and its size reduced to 0.403 MB, it means that the compressed image is 99.8% similar to the original image. But its similarity reduces with the increase in QQT, its size will also decrease by at this point quality will degrade too.

Conclusion: In order to store images on the drive, it is imperative to apply a compression technique. In this paper, a compression technique is proposed utilizing a DCT algorithm to reduce an image size with different QQT provided for quality assessment. Each image has a different set of information and to cater their differences this QQT can be manipulated for best possible quality with acceptable size on disk.

Published: February 2019

Background: Relevant literature suggests that hypertension (HTN) is commonly linked with lipid abnormalities among diabetics so management of dyslipidaemia may reduce the cardiovascular complications significantly. The study was aimed to evaluate whether dyslipidaemia was associated with HTN among type 2 diabetics.

Methodology: This hospital-based, observational, retrospective and comparative study was carried out from January 2018 to June 2018 in the medical outdoor department of Bahawal Victoria Hospital (BVH), Bahawalpur. The study sample was comprised of 50 normotensive diabetic patients as control (group A) and 50 diabetic subjects with HTN were labeled as group B. Comparative values of lipids were primarily observed between the two groups. Quantitative demographic data, blood pressure (BP) recordings, laboratory values of lipid and serum sugar levels were presented as percentage, mean and standard deviation accordingly. To determine statistical assessment, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 15 was used and Student t-test was applied to compare the means of two groups for lipoproteins with significance level at 5%.

Results: Analytic results of this study showed that hypertensive subjects (group B) had hyperlipidemia along with uncontrolled hyperglycemia as well. Among them, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL- C) was 32.73±4.47mg/dl while in normotensive control (group A) it was 39±2.94 mg/dl. Same with the total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG), both lipoproteins were observed in greater concentrations among hypertensive patients as 194.68±31.75mg/dl and 196.05±78.45mg/dl respectively, compared to control (179.07±38.61mg/dl and165.75±48.80mg/dl respectively). Hyperlipidaemia was defined according to guidelines for diabetic patients provided by the National Cholesterol Education Program /American Diabetes Association (NCEP/ADA).

Conclusion: It can be concluded from the study results that diabetics having HTN have more susceptibility towards hyperlipidemia when compared to the normotensive diabetic.

Published: February 2019

Background: Globally, Hepatitis C is the primary causes of acute and chronic hepatitis in end-stage renal disease patients and highly prevalent in hemodialysis patients. In Asia, Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection has become a serious public health problem, whereas, in Pakistan, 26.02% hemodialysis patients are infected with HCV infection. The advent of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) has brought HCV treatment into a revolutionized era. Among the approved DAAs, sofosbuvir (SOF) is the only one that has a significant renal elimination whereas daclatasvir (DAC) is not eliminated by the kidneys. The aims of the study were to assess the effectiveness and safety of SOF and DAC combination in HCV infected patients on Hemodialysis (HD) in the local population as per routine Pakistani practice.

Methodology: An observational, prospective, single-centre study was conducted from December 2017 till September 2018 at the Nawaz Sharif Kidney Hospital, Swat, Pakistan. Total 27 HCV- HD subjects on SOF/DAC regime for 12 weeks, were enrolled in the study. The study was conducted as per the ICH-GCP Guidelines. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS Software version 19 and p-value < 0.05 was considered significant.  

Results: As per the results of 27 subjects’, (n= female 12, 44.5% and n = male 15, 55.5 %), 21 subjects were naive and 6 belonged to treatment experienced group with a mean age of 35.5±9.6 years. On SOF/DAC treatment for 12 weeks, the sustained virological response rate was 100% (27 of 27) at 12 weeks. 95% confidence interval, (95 to 100). No patients had a virologic failure during treatment. The reported adverse events (AE’s) were mainly nausea, headache and fatigue, no serious AE reported. Moreover, no treatment discontinuation due to side effects was observed.

Conclusions: The regime of full dose SOF and DAC therapy is well tolerated, safe and with a high rate of Sustained Viral Response (SVR) in both naive and treatment experienced group of HD Pakistani patients with HCV.

Background: Staphylococcus and Streptococcal infections are a matter of serious concern in the dialysis population especially those having tunnel catheter access. Importance of these organisms is their virulent nature, higher incidence and prevalence in tunnel catheters resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. Staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is an uncommon but potentially fatal disease with multisystem involvement. This is a case of toxin-producing methicillin sensitive staph aureus (MSSA) which is known to have high mortality. A high degree of clinical suspicion and prompt management is necessary to avoid fatality. The aim of the study was to get the idea for the management of the toxic shock in terms of reducing the morbidity and mortality rate.

Case presentation: This case progressed to state of shock within few hours of presentation to emergency room and admission, attributed to be toxic shock with multi-organ failure.

Management and Results: In the management of the patient at the very beginning, the infected catheter was removed further aggressive resuscitation and empirical antibiotics were administered but this case resulted into a fatality.

Conclusion: The early action for source removal of the infection, appropriate antibiotic therapy and adjuvant therapy including clindamycin and immunoglobulin can effectively treat the toxic shock and its related complications.

Authors: Azam Muhammad Aliuddin  , Zafar Ali Jabeen , Sheikh Abubakar , Rashid Saqib
Published: February 2019

Background: Componeer (prefabricated direct composite veneer) is a nano-hybrid composite enamel veneer that combines the advantages of both, placing a direct composite resin and those of a prefabricated laminate veneer manufactured in a laboratory. Any structural defects or anomalies in the anterior teeth or ‘esthetic zone’ create a problem for the patient. Hence, composite laminate veneers focus on targeting such abnormalities where the dentist is in complete control of the outcome, despite the pre-existing color, shape, structure, contours or morphology of the tooth. The aim of the study was to determine the success rate of using prefabricated direct composite veneers for cases with minimal preparation and ‘prep-less’ technique and compare both outcomes for establishing a better and long-lasting restoration.

Case presentation: The study presented two case reports, the first case was of a 46-year-old female with major complaints regarding spaces between upper teeth along with yellow discoloration. While the second i.e. Case 2 was of a 23 years old female with generalized spacing in her teeth due to microdontia and her chief complaint was the diastema present in between her upper front teeth. 

Management and Results: A minimal preparation technique for composite veneering was used in Case 1 to combat the problem of yellow discoloration along with generalized spacing whereas a ‘prep-less’ technique was used for Case 2. Both cases depict different methods of composite veneering and restorations for both minimally prepared or ‘prep-less’ technique showed no differences at the follow-up visit (after 6-month).

Conclusion: Composite veneers have shown excellent results for restoring anterior defects while preserving tooth structure and surrounding tissues. It has proven to be the most time-efficient way of restorations meeting the high demands of superior esthetics and cost-effectiveness.

Social norms predict health behaviors of adults and adolescents. We aimed to determine if parents’ beliefs about social norms were associated with children’s exposure to three behavioral risk factors. We asked 648 parents of children ages 0-18 years old attending two pediatric practices about their children’s exposure to smoking at home. Parents of 341 parents with children >2 years old were also asked about insufficient dental care, and 435 with children aged >12 months about their children’s sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption. Children were categorized as “at risk” or “not at risk” for each factor.The primary outcome was the parent-reported estimate of neighborhood prevalence of those same risk factors.Of eligible participants, 8% reported smoking at home, 23% that their child hadn’t seen a dentist for 6 months, and 35% that their child drank SSBs once a day or more. In multivariate analyses, parents with children in the “at risk” group estimated that the prevalence of each risk factor was higher in their neighborhood, than did participants with children in the “not at risk” group: difference of 12.2% [95% CI, 5.8%-18.6%] for tobacco-smoke exposure, 18.6% [95% CI, 10.7%-26.5%] for lack of regular dental visits and 12.1% [95% CI, 5.1%-19.0%] for SSB consumption (P<0.001 for all comparisons).Parents of children exposed to three behavioral risk factors reported higher perceived prevalence of each risk factor compared to parents of children not at risk. Addressing parents’ social norms beliefs could help promote healthier behaviors of children.

It is estimated that around 40,000-70,000 children become victims of sexual exploitation and about 100,000 children are trafficked each year. It clearly proves the children’s lack of knowledge about sex education they should have gained in their first year from their caregivers, in this case their mothers. Entering the age of 1-2, children’s curiosity and ability to speak and to remember begin to increase quite well. This is the right time to continuously enrich their vocabularies and hone their ability to remember and speak by introducing body parts like hair, nose, knees, heels, and so on. Autism is a term used to describe a type of pervasive disorder in a child resulting in a disturbance or delay in cognition, language, behavior, communication and social interaction. Providing education and understanding is a special challenge for caregivers. This study illustrates how the role performed and displayed by the caregiver (mother) of autistic individuals in introducing the parts of body. The method used in the study is a qualitative method with case study approach by conducting observation and interview with the caregiver of autistic children. The result of the study indicates that the full role of caregiver (mother) produces autistic children with independent behavior. They can understand their body parts, maintain the hygiene of body parts and understand what body parts that may be touched and not

Perception is always related to the symptoms and experience. The more experience and knowledge a person gains, the more and more perceptions he has. In addition to science and experience, perceptions are also influenced by factors of needs and psychology. Thus, one's perception of education differs from one another. This research aims to explain the perceptions of parents in the process of child counseling at home. It is a qualitative research using data reduction, data presentation, conclusion and verification. The results of this research are poorly educated parents just pay little attention to the student’s learning guidance at home, resulting in many students showing little learning interest and dropping out of school. Students with highly educated parents are more lucky because the learning guidance can be obtained from their parents at home even though their parents’s activities at times become constraints.
