REPRESENTAÇÕES SOCIAIS SOBRE ENVELHECER COM DEFICIÊNCIA: UM ESTUDO COM FAMÍLIAS
Authors: Freitas Victor Dos Santos , Naiff Luciene Alves Miguez
Published: November 2021

O presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar o fenômeno social emergente - envelhecer com deficiência – tendo os familiares como sujeitos produtores das representações sociais. Utilizou-se, como referência teórica principal, a Teoria das Representações Sociais sob a perspectiva da abordagem estrutural. No procedimento metodológico, foram utilizadas uma tarefa de evocação livre a partir do termo indutor “envelhecer com deficiência” e um grupo focal. A pesquisa foi realizada em um Serviço de Proteção Social Especial da Política de Assistência Social para Pessoas com Deficiência do município de Volta Redonda/RJ, envolvendo 90 familiares que convivem diretamente com a pessoa com deficiência intelectual e oito familiares para o grupo focal. Os resultados revelam que os termos “amor”, “dificuldade”, “dedicação” e “paciência” foram os  mais frequentemente evocados, figurando como o provável núcleo central da representação social. Os familiares também apontaram que, no decorrer de muitos anos no cuidado, as famílias se adaptam a esta realidade, porém ainda apresentando dificuldades no âmbito jurídico, de saúde, nas relações com a família extensa e na vivência conflituosa de sentimentos em relação ao futuro cuidador.

Objetivo: Avaliar a medida de independência funcional de idosos durante a internação hospitalar e três meses pós-alta hospitalar. Métodos: Estudo transversal, realizado em um hospital privado do Rio de Janeiro, com pacientes sexagenários internados pela equipe de clínica médica, e que receberam alta entre os meses de maio a julho de 2017. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista  com o instrumento de avaliação da capacidade para realização das atividades de vida diária (Katz) realizado do momento da internação até 48 horas e três meses pós-alta hospitalar. Acrescido dos instrumentos de caracterização da amostra: estado nutricional (MNA), estado de confusão (CAM), e fragilidades (PRISMA 7), esses realizados somente no momento inicial. Resultados: A média de internação foi de 8,4 dias, sendo que, 96,8% dos pacientes escolhidos para o estudo demonstraram independência funcional no momento da admissão, com declínio de 11,3% após três meses de alta, em sua maioria mulheres com mais de 80 anos. Ressalta-se que 86% dos pacientes monitorados tiveram um PRISMA 7 negativo, e 47% apresentaram risco de desnutrição. Conclusões: Ocorrência de pacientes em risco de desenvolveram perda funcional durante a internação hospitalar persistiu até o 3.º mês da pós-alta hospitalar, principalmente em mulheres com mais de 80 anos. Portanto, é preciso intensificar a prevenção do declínio funcional, constituindo-se uma intervenção importante para profissionais da saúde.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o condicionamento cardiorrespiratório e a qualidade de vida em idosas praticantes e não praticantes de atividade física. Foi realizado um estudo analítico, de corte transversal. A amostra foi constituída de 40 idosas do sexo feminino provenientes do projeto de convivência da longevidade de Teresina-PI, com idades entre 60 e 80 anos, ativas fisicamente e sedentárias conforme o questionário internacional de atividade física. Foram convidadas a compor os grupos igualmente de idosas praticantes de atividade física (IPAF) e não praticantes de atividade física (INPAF). Foi utilizado o Teste de caminhada de 6 minutos (TC6), para avaliação do condicionamento cardiorrespiratório, sendo mensurados distância percorrida e alcance do limite inferior de normalidade de 139 metros, e o questionário SF-36 para analisar qualidade de vida. A comparação estatística entre grupos foi realizada através do Teste Mann – Whitney ou teste t student, com nível de significância de 95%. Encontrou-se diferença significativa (p<0,05) nos domínios capacidade funcional, dor, estado geral da saúde, vitalidade, aspectos sociais e saúde mental do questionário SF-36 na comparação entre as IPAF e INPAF. No TC6, as IPAF também mostraram resultados significativos superiores (p<0,05) na distância percorrida em relação ao INPAF. Além do que, as IPAF apresentaram maior limite inferior de normalidade do TC6 em comparação ao outro grupo (p<0,05). Os resultados permitem concluir que houve melhor qualidade de vida e condicionamento cardiorrespiratório nas idosas praticantes de atividade física, desfechos que contribuem para ampliação dos conhecimentos da importância da atividade física em idosos.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Bradyarrhythmias are an established red flag for storage
cardiac conditions including Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD). The
prevalence of bradyarrhythmias requiring a pacemaker (PM) and their
timing in AFD is unresolved. We evaluated prevalence and predictors of
PM requirement in a large AFD cohort, investigating the occurrence of
bradyarrhythmias as initial versus late manifestation. Methods: we
retrospectively evaluated 82 consecutive AFD patients referred to our
multidisciplinary referral centre from 1994 to 2020 with a median follow
up of 6.9 years, identifying those requiring pacing. Univariable
analysis was performed to identify cardiac features associated with PM
implantantion. Results: Five of 82 (6%) AFD patients required PM
implantation (5/39, i.e. 13% of those with cardiac involvement), always
in the context of advanced cardiomyopathy. In none, bradyarrhythmias
were the presenting feature. Indications included sick sinus syndrome in
3 patients, advanced atrio-ventricular block in 2 patients. QRS
prolongation during follow up strongly correlated with the onset of
bradyarrhythmias. Conclusions: Severe bradyarrhythmias are relatively
frequent in patients with AFD cardiomyopathy, but do not represent a
mode of presentation, occurring late in the disease course and always in
the context of advanced cardiac involvement. Monitoring QRS variations
over time may help to identify patients requiring pacing.
Infinitely many homoclinic solutions for double phase problem on integers
Authors: Steglinski Robert
Published: November 2021

We consider a discrete double phase problem on integers with an
unbounded potential and reaction term, which does not satisfy the
Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition. A new functional setting was provided
for this problem. Using the Fountain and Dual Fountain Theorem with
Cerami condition, we obtain some existence of infinitely many solutions.
Our results extend some recent findings expressed in the literature.
Petroleum-contamination drives the shift of microbiome through modifying soil metallome

Published: November 2021

Soil oil-pollution is one of the most severe environmental issues at
present. Shifts of soil metallome and microbiome are essential
indicators for risk assessment and remediation of field soil pollutions,
but not well studied undergoing the petroleum contamination. In this
research, soil samples were collected from a short-term and long-term
petroleum-contaminated oil field. The soil physicochemical properties,
metallome, microbial community, and polluted and unpolluted soil network
were testified. Results showed that the contents of soil total petroleum
hydrocarbon, total carbon, total nitrogen, total sulfur, total
phosphorus, calcium, copper, manganese, lead, and zinc were increased by
petroleum contamination. In contrast, the soil pH was decreased by
petroleum contamination regardless of the pollution duration.
Petroleum-contamination also reduced bacterial and fungal α-diversity
indices. In contrast, bacterial α-diversity was negatively correlated
with soil TPH and EC, and fungal α-diversity was negatively correlated
with soil EC. Moreover, the relative abundances of Proteobacteria,
Ascomycota, Oleibacter, and Fusarium in soil were increased by petroleum
contamination. Network analysis showed that number of links, modules and
the network invulnerability decreased in PS, followed by the OS group.
These results demonstrate that short-term heavy petroleum contamination
can cause shifts in soil physicochemical properties, metallome, and
microbiome and assemble a less complex and vulnerable soil microbial
network. Moreover, natural restoration can hardly amend soil properties
and microbial network structure. This research emphasizes that the
uncommonly studied soil metallome may play a vital part in the reaction
of soil microbial communities to petroleum-contamination and potential
application value of synthetic community in bioremediation.

Published: November 2021

Background Estimates of the disease burden associated with different
respiratory viruses are severely limited in low- and middle-income
countries, especially in Africa. Methods We estimated age-specific
numbers and rates of medically and non-medically attended influenza-like
illness (ILI) and severe respiratory illness (SRI) that were associated
with influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), rhinovirus, human
metapneumovirus, adenovirus, enterovirus and parainfluenza virus types
1-3 after adjusting for the attributable fraction (AF) of virus
detection to illness in South Africa during 2013-2015. Rates were
reported per 100,000 population. Results The mean annual rates were
51,383 and 4,196 for ILI and SRI, respectively. Of these, 26% (for ILI)
and 46% (for SRI) were medically attended. Among outpatients with ILI,
rhinovirus had the highest AF-adjusted rate (7,221), followed by
influenza (6,443) and adenovirus (1,364); whereas, among inpatients with
SRI, rhinovirus had the highest AF-adjusted rate (400), followed by RSV
(247) and influenza (130). Rhinovirus (9,424) and RSV (2,026) had the
highest AF-adjusted rates among children aged <5 years with
ILI or SRI, respectively; whereas rhinovirus (757) and influenza (306)
had the highest AF-adjusted rates among individuals aged ≥65 years with
ILI or SRI, respectively Conclusions There was a substantial burden of
ILI and SRI in South Africa during 2013-2015. Rhinovirus and influenza
had a prominent disease burden among patients with ILI. Rhinovirus had
the highest burden of illness among patients of any age with SRI,
followed by RSV. RSV and influenza were the most prominent causes of SRI
in children and the elderly, respectively.
Comparison of materials for rapid passive collection of environmental DNA

Published: November 2021

Passive collection is an emerging sampling method for environmental DNA
(eDNA) in aquatic systems. Passive eDNA collection is inexpensive,
efficient, and requires minimal equipment, making it suited to high
density sampling and remote deployment. Here, we compare the
effectiveness of nine membrane materials for passively collecting fish
eDNA from a 3 million litre marine mesocosm. We submerged materials
(cellulose, cellulose with 1% and 3% chitosan, cellulose overlayed
with electrospun nanofibers and 1% chitosan, cotton fibres, hemp fibres
and sponge with either zeolite or active carbon) for intervals between
five and 1080 minutes. We show that for most materials, with as little
as five minutes submersion, mitochondrial fish eDNA measured with qPCR,
and fish species richness measured with metabarcoding, was comparable to
that collected by conventional filtering. Furthermore, PCR template DNA
concentrations and species richness were generally not improved
significantly by longer submersion. Species richness detected for all
materials ranged between 11 to 37 species, with a median of 27, which
was comparable to the range for filtered eDNA (19-32). Using scanning
electron microscopy, we visualised biological matter adhered to the
surface of materials, rather than entrapped, with images also revealing
a diversity in size and structure of putative eDNA particles.
Environmental DNA can be collected rapidly from seawater with a passive
approach and using a variety of materials. This will suit cost and
time-sensitive biological surveys, and where access to equipment is
limited.

Haptoglobin Phenotype Modifies the Effect of Fenofibrate on Risk of Coronary Event: ACCORD Lipid Trial
Authors: Warren Rachel A , Carew Allie S , Andreou Pantelis , Herman Christine , Levy Andrew P , Ginsberg Henry N , Sapp John , Rimm Eric B , Kirkland Susan , Cahill Leah E
Published: November 2021

Objective: The haptoglobin (Hp)2-2
phenotype (~35-40% of people) is associated with increased oxidation and dysfunctional
high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in hyperglycemia and may explain why drugs designed
to pharmacologically raise HDL-cholesterol and lower triglycerides have not
reliably prevented cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetes. We aimed to determine whether the effect of adding fenofibrate
versus placebo to simvastatin on the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) events
depends on Hp phenotype in the ACCORD lipid trial (NCT00000620).

Research Design and Methods: Cox proportional hazards regression
models quantitfied the relationship between fenofibrate therapy and CAD events
in the ACCORD lipid trial in participants with the Hp2-2 phenotype (n=1,795)
separately from those without (n=3,201).

Results: Fenofibrate therapy successfully lowered the
risk of CAD events in participants without the Hp2-2 phenotype
(multivariable-adjusted hazard ratio: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.60-0.90, compared to no
fenofibrate therapy) but not in participants with the Hp2-2 phenotype (1.16,
0.87-1.56, p, interaction=0.009). Subgroup analyses revealed that this
protective effect of fenofibrate against CAD events among the non-Hp2-2
phenotype group was most effective in participants with severe dyslipidemia (p,
interaction=0.01), and and in males (p, interaction= 0.02) with an increased CAD
risk from fenofibrate treatment observed in females with the Hp2-2 phenotype
(p, interaction= 0.002).

Conclusions: The effect of fenofibrate added to
simvastatin on risk of CAD events depends on Hp phenotype in the ACCORD lipid
trial.
Kulturskolens mange samarbeidskonstellasjoner som verdidrevne sammenvevde avhengighetsrelasjoner
Authors: Emstad Anne Berit , Angelo Elin
Published: November 2021

This chapter explores the collaborative constellations that Kulturskolen has in its own municipalities, and how these collaborations are experienced by Kulturskolen’s leaders and owners. The purpose of the chapter is to contribute to more thorough understanding of who Kulturskolen collaborates with and the intentions behind these collaborations. The study adds to the field of Kulturskolen-related research in expanding the focus on collaboration to include not only schools, kindergartens and cultural organizations, but also health services, local associations, businesses and all other partners in the municipality. The data material for the chapter is comments and free text answers made by leaders and local municipal authorities (school owners) from two nationwide surveys in Norway conducted in 2018. The study is designed as a grounded theory study, where the analysis and theory development are operationalized through constant comparison and synthesizing of the data material (Strauss & Corbin, 1990). Through this approach and inspired by the theory of resource dependence (Aldrich & Pfeffer, 1976; Pfeffer & Salancik, 1978), we recapitulate the developed insights about Kulturskolen’s local collaborations as the theory about value-based intertwined dependency relations (VSA in Norwegian). VSA describes Kulturskolen’s wide range of partners as relations that are both interweaved and interdependent and illustrates the distinctions between original intentions for collaboration and intentions brought about through these relationships as intangible and seamlessly enlaced.

Transgressions Towards Difference: A Tertiary Arts Educator’s Reflection on Teaching in Norway
Authors: Martin Rose
Published: November 2021

This chapter explores the idea of transgressions within tertiary arts education, focusing on how transgressions might lead us toward understanding notions of difference, and contributing to understandings of culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP), inclusion, and diversity in education. These ideas are explored from my first-person perspective as a tertiary arts educator and researcher, with the research taking a qualitative auto-narrative approach. Through unpacking my auto-narratives this chapter identifies how transgressions within teaching might add to the teaching and learning context, and I ask: How might we, as educators, see these transgressions as opportunities, and as ways to encourage difference in our teaching and learning? Through critiquing my own pedagogical choices and practices, I reveal that when seeking to embark on an inclusive and dialogical approach towards education, transgressions can be made, and through these transgressions there are opportunities to develop teaching practices in arts education.
Insourcing som samarbeid mellom kulturskole og grunnskole
Authors: Strand Morten Krogstad
Published: November 2021

The article explores collaboration between primary and lower secondary schools and schools of music and performing arts (‘kulturskole’), and examines how such cooperation can be understood as insourcing. Research in the field has shown that common collaboration models are most often based on an outsourcing idea, through the purchase of services. Such a model, in which teachers from schools of music and performing arts are hired to carry out specific tasks in primary/lower secondary schools, is not necessarily sustainable in the face of economic and cultural obstacles. Through a qualitative approach, this study therefore examines how collaboration between primary/lower secondary schools and schools of music and performing arts can be understood within an insourcing framework. Key actors who have experience with both conceptual and contextual conditions in collaboration between the schools have been interviewed, and a number of policy documents have also been studied. The usual understanding of insourcing implies using your own employees to solve tasks instead of outsourcing tasks by hiring external contractors. In this study, I argue that models based on insourcing, through a sustainable collaboration with the schools of music and performing arts, can contribute to lasting competence development and quality improvement in the arts and music subjects and important culture-building in primary/lower secondary school.
Vinn-vinn? En studie av «Sentrum-prosjektet» – et samarbeid mellom grunnskole og kulturskole
Authors: Balsnes Anne Haugland , Christensen Jorun
Published: November 2021

Collaboration between grunnskole (primary schools) and kulturskole (culture schools) has been promoted in policy documents since the 1980s. In several municipalities, different models for cooperation are being tested. This chapter is based on a study of a specific collaborative project, called “Sentrums-prosjektet”. The purpose of the study was to provide more knowledge about such collaborations. The investigation had a case study design and the data consisted of interviews and participatory observation. The collaborative project is described and understood in light of the various schools’ curriculum and previous research. We investigate whether this is a “win-win collaboration” or an “aid project” on the part of the culture school. We also investigate what the various schools achieve through the collaboration. on the experiences from this specific collaboration, we argue that the project for primary school has provided well-being, musical joy and interest in music, and thus strengthened the general classroom environment – while the project for culture school contributes to fulfilling its vision of being a “school for all”. However, we also claim that there is potential for expansive learning in such collaborations that has not been fully utilized in this case.

Philosophy of science needs its presence in the midst of the development of science and technology which is marked by the sharpening of scientific specialization. Philosophy of science as a theoretical framework and research method has a relationship with scientific research. Philosophy of science explains the problem of science or science which is the basis for logical assumptions (ethical neutralistic doctrine), the empirical results achieved, and the limits of their abilities. Meanwhile, the research methodology describes efforts to develop science based on the scientific method, which consists of two parts, namely both deductive and inductive.        The contribution of the philosophy of science in scientific research is: As a basis for the development of science or theory, the philosophy of science as a means of testing scientific theory reasoning. Philosophy of science is able to test, reflect, criticize assumptions and scientific methods in a scientific research. As a foundation in science at the university level. Philosophy of science provides a logical basis for research methodology. The contribution of the philosophy of science in research methodology can also be filling and broadening the cognitive horizons (reason) of what is called science, which is expected to create understanding for the discipline in scientific work, as well as increase the motivation of a researcher to carry out tasks seriously.  Writing this article uses a qualitative approach by using library research, namely by examining reading sources that have to do with the study being discussed.

Purpose: Medical plasma application has been used in different fields recently. In this study, we assess the outcome of using plasma-assisted noninvasive surgery (PANIS) with amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) in pterygium surgical treatment. Methods: This clinical case series was conducted in 4 patients with primary grades 1, 2, and 3 pterygium (Table 1). After exclusion and inclusion criteria considerations, patients underwent different examinations. Various measurements were obtained such as uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), refractive error (RE), the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and ocular surface disease index (OSDI). The surgical procedure was pterygium removal from the cornea and then AMT attached to the conjunctival borders with plasma spots using a white handpiece of Plexr device (Plexr, GMV s.r.l Grottaferrata, Italy) instead (Table 2). After postoperative follow-ups within the first week of the surgery and in 1 month and 6 months later the results were obtained. Results: All patients have been fully recovered after the surgery without any complications. In all 4 cases, UCVA, BCVA, and RE parameters have improved during 6 months after the surgical procedure. Every patients’ OSDI decreased after the surgery. Recurrence has not been seen in any cases during 6 months follow-up. Conclusion: Pterygium removal surgery using the PANIS technique with AMT is safe, effective, fast, and cost-benefit.

In the education sector of South Solok distric, it is still lagging behind other regions, this can be seen from the results of the 2016 UN ranking which is ranked 16th out of 19 cities /distric in West Sumatra. Based on observations and discussions conducted on several teachers and principals, this is due to the learning that students are more likely to wait for what is conveyed by the teacher or the learning is still teacher-centered. Then in learning the teacher has not used a variety of learning media. The media used cannot accommodate the facts of students' daily conditions, although in reality there are many types and various facts around students that can be developed and utilized to support learning.

This devotion activity aims to improve the competence of teachers of South Solok Regency Junior High School through contextual based multimedia development training for inquiry learning. To achieve these objectives, the method used consists of several steps, namely the steps of orientation, preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation as well as the steps of data analysis and report preparation. The instrument used was a test of understanding of the material and questionnaire on participant's response. Data analysis techniques used are paired t test and percentage analysis.

The results of the analysis of pretest and posttest data and questionnaire responses of training participants, obtained the average pretest value was 41.36 for the average posttest score was 57.27. So the average value, posttest is higher than the pretest value. Based on the results of the t test obtained a significance value of 0.000 <0.05, thus it can be concluded that there is a difference between the results of the pretest and posttest. Where the posttest results are better than the results of the pretest, this shows that there is an increase in the ability of teachers to develop contextual-based multimedia for inquiry learning. Based on the questionnaire given at the end of the training activity, the results showed that the participants stated that this activity was very useful and related to the subjects taught at school

The increasing number of human populations will certainly reduse the amount of productive land, especially in urban areas. Food consumption needs that continue to increase but not offset by production will certainly threaten human survival. The narrower of productive land especially in urban areas certanly requires a way to maximize the limited use of land in order to remain productive, one of which is the cultination of plants with a verticulture system. Padang Panjang city include highland temperate rigion, therefore many vegetable can grow and develop in this area like cale, pakcoy and lettuce. No exeption for Arafah Permai housing which is located in Padang Panjang city with a farm/ narrow yard that is suitable for cultivation systems using this verticulture method.

Published: November 2021

Transcranial magnetic stimulation systems have had a heyday in the last two decades, both in the development and commercialization of equipment, as well as in areas of application in medicine and research, which has made them tools for the diagnosis and treatment of important diseases of the nervous system. Most of the analyzes of the general operation are still limited to the separate study of the elements of the system. In this present work, the analysis is carried out through simulations of the electrical excitation circuit using the Matlab®/Simulink®and Micro-Cap tools, likewise, three coil geometries of transcranial magnetic stimulation systems are analyzed by using the finite element method in COMSOL Multiphysics®software. The computational analysis lies in studying the basic architecture of the electrical excitation circuit, which is made up of an RLC circuit with switching elements and power electronics, in charge of generating high-magnitude current pulses (between 1 and 3 kA) and short duration. (between 0.5 and 1250 ms). The magnitude of the current and the shape of the signal in the elements of the RLC stage are analyzed, performing a calculation of the power dissipated. This first stage is complemented with the analysis by means of the finite element method of the magnetic flux density and maximum operating temperature of three coil geometries commonly used for therapies. The computational analysis gives rise to a proposal for a system that reduces the maximum operating temperature of coil geometry by up to 20 %, maintaining the maximum magnitude of the magnetic flux density, which consists of the design of a single solenoid coil geometry with windings. concentric, which from the electrical point of view, are inductors in parallel.

Published: November 2021

The scope of Unani medicine is increasing day by day as people are becoming more interested in herbal and organic world. However, Unani (herbal) knowledge needs to be coupled with scientific documented research done to verify its efficacy. The aim of this paper is to provide updated knowledge on hypertension and its management in the Unani system of medicine. Hypertension is a major health hazard globally especially in developed countries. In the Unani system of medicine, there are mudirrat (diuretics) to reduce body fluids and minerals, and musakkin (relaxants) and munawwim (sedatives) are also advised by Unani physicians to reduce anxiety. Unani physician, Razi recommends venesection for this particular ailment. Unani physicians have given the concept of hypertension as “Imtila-ba-Hasb-ul-Auiya” and have said that this occurs due to sue-e-mizaj damwi and comes under the heading of Imtila. Literally ‘Imtala’ means gathering and fullness of the body with madda (fluids). To be precise, it means there is a buildup of normal or abnormal fluids in the body. Unani physicians were all aware of the concept of Zaghta e damwi (blood pressure). Systole as ‘Zaghta-e-Inqabazi’ and diastole as ‘Zaghta-e-Inbesati’ is well depicted in the Unani literature. Most of the world’s population, mainly in developing countries, use herbal medicines for primary health care because of their ancient tradition, culture, and minor side effects. Various kinds of research have been conducted regarding the hypotensive and antihypertensive therapeutic values of local medicinal plants in the recent past, and they have provided evidence for the antihypertensive effects of some of these plants.

The food supply chain is one of the most complex systems. The system begins with production and then continues with food handling techniques for preservation. In practice, the surplus food distributed seems to have been passing through various stages before it actually reaches out to consumers. However, the question arises if all the food produced is totally consumed. In this paper, we shall be studying the distinct stages involved in the food supply chain; how and where the food loss takes place; and the tremendous impacts it caused socially and economically. This paper will further help in quantifying the food waste and shall be obliged in identifying the required actions to overcome food loss and waste globally. This paper outlines different strategies and approaches adopted for post-harvest food loss assessments in order to achieve sustainable food services; move towards zero waste economy to implement poverty extermination and food security around the world.
