Epidemiological and clinical analyses of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Authors: Rangaraju Advithi , Calambur Narasimhan , Nallari Pratibha
Published: July 2023

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant disease characterised by the thickening of the left/right ventricle along with the interventricular septum. It is found in all races and ethnic groups occurring equally in both the sexes with a prevalence of 1 in 500. Incidence and prevalence of HCM appears to decline after adolescence and then increase in middle age, with the highest rates seen after the 4th decade and hence is considered to be a 4th decade disorder. The Indian population exhibits a great range of geographic and genetic diversity along with high levels of inbreeding in comparison to other populations; therefore the present article examined the epidemiological and clinical analyses based on the gender specific differences, age at onset, familial and non-familial status and subtypes of HCM which also contribute to the heterogeneity of the condition making genetic diagnosis and screening much more challenging. The study revealed male preponderance in the age group of 21-40 years exhibiting non-obstructive type of HCM while female preponderance was observed in the age group of 0-20 years and 40-60 years with high incidence of obstructive HCM cases associated with severe clinical manifestations and poor prognosis, based on the significant echocardiographic parameters. This was further substantiated with an early age at onset in females with asymmetric septal type of hypertrophy and in males with mid-cavity concentric hypertrophy enlightening on a strong genetic predisposition.

Authors: Wendt Jan A.
Published: July 2023

Praca stanowi kontynuację (Wendt 2003, 2004, Wendt, Ilieş 2004) podjętej dziesięć lat temu próby przedstawienia geograficznych i geopolitycznych czynników zmian w podziałach administracyjnych ziem rumuńskich. Starano się uwzględnić i wskazać na wpływ uwarunkowań geograficznych, zwłaszcza orograficznych i sieci rzecznej na kształtowanie się granic/barier naturalnych zarówno wewnątrz kraju, jak i na jego zewnętrznych granicach. Wychodząc od regionalizacji fizycznogeograficznej poprzez układ historycznych regionów na ziemiach rumuńskich, pokazano powstanie pierwszych granic administracyjnych w kraju. Wskazano także na rolę czynników geopolitycznych, wśród których na kształtowanie się granic Rumunii, jej regionów historycznych i administracyjnych największy wpływ miały trzy wojny toczone na Bałkanach w latach 1913–1945 oraz zmiany przynależności Besarabii, a także terytorium Siedmiogrodu zamieszkanego przez ludność węgierską. Przedstawiono także współczesne propozycje zmian podziałów administracyjnych i tworzenia nowych regionów. Z jednej strony uwzględniają one unijne normy prawne, stawiane Rumunii w procesie akcesji i po uzyskaniu członkostwa UE. Z drugiej strony propozycje nowych podziałów administracyjnych uwzględniają tradycje regionalne i historyczne uwarunkowania kształtowania się regionów rumuńskich.

Authors: Nadrian Haidar , Mousavi Saeed , Oshaghi Alireza , Oshaghi Alireza
Published: July 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

Background
The study aims to increase the knowledge of Female Head of Households (FHHs) about their Generalized Resistance Resources (GRRs), strengths and potential abilities of themselves and their family members and improving Sense of Coherence (SOC) and trying to actualize these abilities to increase their mental health and quality of life.
Method
This research will be an intervention study with pre-test-post-test with control group design. First, by simple random sampling, a sample of 180 FHHs from Tabriz health centers are selected for cross-sectional study and pre-test. Then, from this number, 56 people are randomly selected, and finally, they are randomly divided into two groups of 28 people, control and intervention. At first, a pre-test will be taken from them and analyzed, and their strengths and weaknesses, external and internal GRRs and capacities, needs and characteristics will be assessed. Based on the assessment, an intervention program with the positive health approach will be designed with the aim of improving mental health and quality of life. Then, the intervention program designed and implemented for the intervention group. The control group will only receive the routine services of the health center. After the intervention, two post-tests are performed in the third and sixth months to measure the impact of the intervention and the stability of the changes.
Discussion
In this study, instead of creating skills, we want to use a person's hidden assets to improve his sense of coherence, mental health and quality of life. This study can be a turning point for the science of health promotion and health economics, especially for vulnerable people in society.
A Systematic Review on Comparison of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in the Treatment of Refractory Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Authors: Dhivya K , Samuel Bibila
Published: July 2023

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders (DSM 4) defines obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) as compulsive or repetitive behaviors of obsessions that a person feels driven to perform. These acts and behaviors are aimed at preventing or reducing distress but are not connected in a realistic way. OCD is a pathological hypothesis of dysfunctions occurring within the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical loops. It is one of the most prevalent and disabling psychiatric disorder associated with decreased life quality (American Psychiatric Association). This article will provide a brief study on the comparison of deep brain stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of refractory obsessive compulsive disorder besides other pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments.

Biodiversity Protection in European Union Agriculture
Authors: Kociszewski Karol
Published: July 2023

Biodiversity conservation is an important element of EU environmental policy and it influences certain instruments of the Common Agricultural Policy (agri-environmental programmes, cross–compliance rules, organic farming support). These play an increasingly important role in this policy. However, in some Member States they are insufficiently directed to nature conservation. Direct payments affect an increase in threats to biological diversity, although this impact was restricted in the course of the CAP reform (implementation of a regional system combined with cross-compliance rules). Moreover, the withdrawal or significant reduction of the instrument would result in even greater losses. Low effectiveness of existing activities contributes to the continuous degradation of biological diversity in European rural areas: the specialized payments for farmers in the Natura 2000 network are implemented to a limited extent, specialised support directed for High Nature Values (HNV) farming has not yet been introduced in practice, execution of cross-compliance rules was insufficient. In years 2014-2020 nature conservation within the CAP will grow in importance and it will implicate improvement of the effectiveness of actions implemented in the Member States.
Solid Propellant Grain Configuration with Progressive Burning Obtained Through Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Mărmureanu Marius-Ionuț , Noja Gabriel-Flavius , Matache Liviu-Cristian
Published: July 2023

In this paper, a solid propellant grain concept was defined, obtained through additive manufacturing, which combines characteristics of multilayer elements with those of tubular geometric shape. The internal ballistics model adapted for such a solid propellant grain configuration allowed the calculations and highlighted the possibility of obtaining a pressure-time curve with a slightly increasing variation (progressive burning). The case studies carried out had as their starting point the existing physical configuration of the solid rocket motor for S-5K unguided ammunition. For the latter, PRTF-100 double base propellant was replaced by a composite propellant consisting of 87.3 wt% ammonium dinitramide, 10.7 wt% polycaprolactone and 2 wt% copper oxide.
Study of structural behavior of retrofit beam column junction using Ansys
Authors: Ayush Morankar , Akanksha V. Pisolkar
Published: July 2023

The beam-column joint is a critical component of reinforced concrete buildings, responsible for effectively transferring loads between connected members while withstanding gravity and seismic forces. However, these joints are often the weakest link in the structure due to insufficient shear strength. To ensure structural integrity, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) materials are widely utilized for retrofitting beam-column joints. CFRP offers high strength, stiffness, and corrosion resistance without significantly increasing the joint's dimensions. ANSYS Workbench is a powerful software tool that enables detailed analysis and design of beam-column joints. By providing advanced simulation capabilities, it reduces the necessity for physical testing and streamlines the retrofitting process, thereby enhancing project efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This study focuses on the analysis and retrofitting of beam-column joints using CFRP materials in ANSYS Workbench, specifically in the 2022 R2 Student and 2022 R1 Teaching versions. The findings of this study reveal significant improvements in the retrofitted beam-column joints compared to their original condition. Notably, the use of CFRP wrapping reduces deformation and increases the maximum principal stress in various reinforcement patterns. The study also includes a comparison between manual and analytical results, further validating the effectiveness of the retrofitting approach using CFRP materials.

Authors: Laili Sherly Nur , Sudarti Sudarti , Prihandono Trapsilo
Published: July 2023

The fermentation process in making cassava tape (Manihot esulenta) worked on the alcohol content. The alcohol content differed during the fermentation process. The objective of this research was analyzing the alcohol content produced in the fermentation process of cassava tape (Manihot esculenta). The data interpretation method was experimented in this research. Three samples of tape were treated with ELF magnetic field exposure involving the intensity of 200µT with 15-minute exposure and the intensity of 300µT with 15-minute exposure. The tools used in this research were a thermometer to measure room temperature and a portable alcohol brix ATC meter refractometer to measure alcohol content. The results showed the average alcohol content on the first day was 8-10%; it increased on the following day by 25% and on the third day, it reached 36-38%. Thus, the longer the fermentation process, the higher the alcohol content would be; it can be concluded that the samples treated with ELF magnetic field at the intensity of 300uT obtained the highest alcohol content.

At point PA1 the depth of the aquifer starts from a depth of 81.4 – 125 meters; PA2 point at a depth of 80 – 124 meters; PA3 point at a depth of 91.8 – 118 meters; and Point PA4 at a depth of 47.4 – 113 meters
Povezanost epistemičkih uvjerenja s ciljevima postignuća i pristupima studenata učenju matematike
Authors: Rovan Daria
Published: July 2023

Epistemička uvjerenja su uvjerenja o prirodi znanja i načinima stjecanja znanja te su važan prediktor kako procesa, tako i ishoda učenja. Cilj je ovoga istraživanja bio utvrditi u kolikoj su mjeri epistemička uvjerenja povezana s ciljevima postignuća i pristupima učenju matematike te utvrditi imaju li ciljevi postignuća medijatorsku ulogu u povezanosti epistemičkih uvjerenja s pristupima studenata učenju u kontekstu učenja matematike na visokoškolskoj razini. Istraživana su dva aspekta epistemičkih uvjerenja – neadaptivno uvjerenje o jednostavnosti znanja i adaptivno uvjerenje o evaluaciji znanja. Dimenzija jednostavnosti znanja odnosi se na koncepciju znanja kao kontinuuma koji nastaje akumulacijom činjenica, za razliku od poimanja znanja kao visoko povezanih i međuzavisnih koncepata, dok se evaluacija znanja odnosi na uvjerenja o tome kako se mogu provjeriti različite informacije, uključujući i korištenje dokaza. U istraživanju su sudjelovala 333 studenta prve godine elektrotehnike i računarstva koji su ispunjavali upitnik koji se odnosio na kolegij iz matematike i koji je obuhvaćao mjere epistemičkih uvjerenja, ciljeva postignuća te pristupa studenata učenju. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na to da su uvjerenja o jednostavnosti znanja negativno, a uvjerenja o evaluaciji znanja pozitivno povezana s učinkovitim motivacijskim i kognitivnim procesima pri učenju. Pritom, u skladu s hijerarhijskim modelom ciljeva postignuća, ciljevi postignuća predstavljaju značajne medijatore odnosa epistemičkih uvjerenja i pristupa studenata učenju matematike. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata možemo zaključiti da je tijekom nastave važno poticati adaptivna epistemička uvjerenja ukazivanjem na vrijednost poznavanja teorije te poticanjem integracije i praktične primjene stečenih znanja.

Contrôles, sanctions, surveillance et engagement volontaire
Authors: Vergnerie Marie-léonie
Published: July 2023

More than forty years after its creation, the inspection body for installations listed for environmental purpose is the best-established environmental authority. While European and national regulations have become dramatically diverse and technical, and the inspectorate’s material and human resources have remained comparatively rather modest, efforts to simplify have been made to streamline the thresholds that trigger controls, to define priority targets, and also to make operators more accountable in particular via self-monitoring. The new " environmental inspectorate" is challenged to wisely use the carrot and stick approach by either exercising flexibility towards exemplary operators or using the vast repressive arsenal made available to them.

Published: July 2023

The need to screen efficient, safe, affordable, and readily available antimicrobial agents from various medicinal plants, for their potential antimicrobial activity has become critical in light of the rapid development of microbial resistance against chemotherapeutic drugs (mainly antibiotics). Despite notable advances in the biological and phytochemical evaluation in recent years, comprehensive reviews of Holarrhena pubescens are limited. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of this plant extract. One significant use of plant extracts can be in treating bacterial infections and develop potential antibacterial agents against multi drug resistant (MDR) and susceptible bacteria. If antimicrobial activities are present, these extracts will provide useful information for discovering new compounds with better activity and more effectiveness against resistant and susceptible bacteria responsible for infections than currently available. The ethanolic extract of leaves of Holarrhena pubescens was prepared and tested against multidrug resistant (MDR) and American type culture collection strains of bacteria. We have obtained two types of results in this experiment. The extract showed antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 23235), Escherichia coli (MDR) and Acinetobacter (MDR), while, it showed no antimicrobial activities along with some growth promoting role against Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), and Klebsialla pneumoniae (MDR), which may be due to chemicals other than secondary metabolites.

Published: July 2023

In this paper, we investigate a class of stochastic functional differential equations driven by the time-changed Lévy process. Using the Lyapunov technique, we obtain some sufficient conditions to ensure that the solutions of the considered equations are $ h $-stable in $ p $-th moment sense. Subsequently, using time-changed Itô formula and a proof by reduction ad absurdum, we capture some new criteria for the $ h $-stability in mean square of the considered equations. In the end, we analyze some illustrative examples to show the interest and usefulness of the major results.
Rethinking Assessment Practices in Teacher Education Programmes
Authors: Mdzanga Nokhanyo Nomakhwezi , Sathorar Heloise , Geduld Deidre , Moeng Siphokazi Florence
Published: July 2023

Learning to become a teacher encompasses an understanding of teaching contexts, acquisition of in-depth knowledge of subject content and pedagogy, as well as an understanding of the school curriculum. One aspect of the learning process that is often criticised in education is assessment. Assessment practices and processes are still dominated by standardised testing that limits the criticality of students to engage with the content and apply it to real-life situations. This chapter argues for humanising assessment practices in teacher education. The authors first discuss the current state of assessment and its impact on students learning. It then advocates for teachers to be transformative intellectuals who can reflect critically on what and how they teach and conduct assessment. The chapter critiques the assessment policy of Nelson Mandela University and thereafter suggests practical strategies for implementing humanizing assessment.

Authors: Mawela Ailwei Solomon , Van Wyk Michael M. , Dreyer Johannes
Published: July 2023

The value of e-portfolios as assessment tools in higher education has been acknowledged. Yet, they have often been considered effective in first-world countries. E-portfolios can be utilized successfully as transformative assessments in South African higher education institutions. The authors conducted qualitative research among South African student teachers involved in a teaching practice course that required them to construct and submit e-portfolios. The authors intended to investigate and analyze students' reflections on how they experienced e-portfolios as assessment tools. The study's findings demonstrated that students considered e-portfolios to be valuable assessment tools. They promote 21st-century skill acquisition, foster the realization of the interconnectedness of various programmatic learning components, support personal development, and successfully prepare graduates for the workforce.

A Antropologia Forense é o ramo da Antropologia Física que lida com as perícias criminais de ossadas e de cadáveres carbonizados ou em estado avançado de decomposição. A estimativa do sexo é uma etapa essencial para identificar indivíduos desconhecidos e geralmente depende da presença de ossos altamente dimórficos, como a pelve e o crânio. Na ausência do crânio e da pelve, o úmero pode ser utilizado para a estimativa do sexo, pois é um osso favorecido pela preservação. O objetivo do nosso trabalho foi  realizar um estudo osteométrico em úmeros secos de adultos pertencentes a indivíduos da região nordeste do Brasil e relacionar os resultados com o sexo. Para isto utilizamos uma amostra de 150 úmeros, sendo 95 do sexo masculino e 55 do sexo feminino, todos pertencentes ao Centro de Antropologia Forense da FAP-Araripina. Foram realizadas três medidas lineares nos úmeros: largura epicondilar e largura da tróclea, estas com auxílio de um paquímetro digital de precisão da marca Vonder. A outra medida foi o comprimento total do úmero, nesta utilizamos uma tábua osteométrica de Broca. De acordo com os nossos resultados, as três medidas se apresentaram com médias, valor máximo e mínimo maiores no sexo masculino, estando de acordo com a literatura. Esperamos que mais estudos em nossa população sejam realizados, principalmente em diferentes regiões, devido à grande área territorial do Brasil e a grande miscigenação existente em nosso país.
An Analysis Exploring the Mediating Role of Empathy Between Personality Traits and Antisocial Behavior
Authors: Yuan Hanbing
Published: July 2023

Adolescent antisocial behavior, especially juvenile delinquency, has been a hot issue in society. Studies have been conducted to explore how antisocial behavior and personality traits are intercorrelated, as well as how antisocial behavior and empathy are related to one another. However, few studies have focused on investigating the interplay between empathy, antisocial behavior, and personality traits. This paper aims to fill this gap by inferring how personality traits and empathy level affect the conduction of antisocial behaviors for adolescents through a literature review. Agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism, which are three vital personality traits in the big five personality trait test, are found to be correlated with antisocial behavior, and agreeableness, extraction, and neuroticism are correlated with empathy. So this review focus on two personality traits: agreeableness and neuroticism. It states that empathy mediates the interaction between the two personality traits and antisocial behaviors during adolescence years. It also gives suggestions that parents and teachers should pay more attention to adolescents with high neuroticism or low agreeableness. It highlights that people can intervene in adolescents’ antisocial behavior through intervene in adolescents’ empathy.
Koszty zewnętrzne jako geneza polityki środowiskowej i ochrony klimatu w kontrze do paradygmatu „taniości”
Authors: Niestępska Małgorzata
Published: July 2023

Maksymalizując swoją użyteczność jako czynnik decyzyjny w warunkach transakcji wolnorynkowych, konsumenci stawiają na „taniość” i akceptowalną jakość. Niska cena produktu przemysłowego wynikała jednak przez długie lata z braku uwzględnienia w jego cenie kosztów cyklu życia produktu, w tym jego negatywnego wpływu na środowisko. Środowisko rozumiane i wartościowane w korelacji z jakością życia i zdrowiem człowieka. Każdy produkt odbiera środowisku część naturalnych zasobów lub je degraduje, a populacji narażonej na negatywne odziaływanie procesu jego wytwarzania odbiera cząstkę zdrowia lub życia. Czy wyobrażalne jest, aby przedsiębiorca z własnej woli zapłacił odszkodowanie za to, że spala paliwa, generuje ścieki i odpady, mając na uwadze oczekiwanie „taniości” i konkurencję? Tę zawodność „nieskrępowanego rynku” w ochronie praw człowieka do życia w czystym środowisku zauważyli w XX w. ekonomiści głównego nurtu i wskazywali na konieczność internalizacji problemu kosztu efektów zewnętrznych. Spory między liberalną szkołą austriacką oraz zwolennikami keynesizmu dotyczące interwencjonizmu państwa w rynek w przypadku internalizacji kosztów korzystania ze środowiska zostały w większości krajów wysoko rozwiniętych rozstrzygnięte na korzyść tych drugich przez normatywną interwencję państwa w rynek i wprowadzenie odpowiednich podatków i opłat za korzystanie ze środowiska. Efekty zewnętrzne zostały zdefi niowane przez ekonomistów Pigou oraz Coase. W artykule przedstawionazostała ocena efektywności wdrożonych aktów normatywnych w kraju oraz w Unii Europejskiej realizujących ideę internalizacji kosztów zewnętrznych negatywnego wpływu na środowisko na przykładzie rynku energii. Przed-stawiono zalety i wady zastosowania powyższych teorii w praktyce, w tym w polityce klimatycznej UE oraz przeanalizowano, czy realizują one dla statystycznego Polaka, obywatela Unii, funkcję ochrony jego praw, a bilans kosztów i korzyści wyrażony ceną energii spełnia postulat maksymalizacji użyteczności.
Collaborative Research Writing in the New Normal: Students’ Views, Challenges, Coping Strategies, and Takeaways
Authors: Roxas Mark Joshua
Published: July 2023

The ‘new normal’ setup of education posed challenges on courses requiring learners’ collaboration. Despite the proven advantages of collaborative writing, several challenges still confront the learners which may affect the quality of their output. Collaboration per se is already a challenge for learners in face-to-face classes, more so in online distance learning. Thus, this study explored the views, challenges, coping strategies, and takeaways of senior high school students in collaborative research writing in the ‘new normal.’ Thirty (30) reflective essays written by senior high school students from three (3) academic strands, namely Humanities and Social Sciences, General Academic, and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics were analysed. Ten (10) sample essays from each strand were selected through Critical Case Sampling. Findings revealed that students view collaborative research writing in general as easy, while some see it as difficult. The students met challenges in research technicalities, communication, and collaboration. Varied coping strategies were identified, such as having a positive mindset, being patient, considerate and determined, seeking help from others, maintaining proper communication and collaboration, seeking spiritual guidance, and taking a break. Ultimately, the takeaways of the students were not limited to academics or cognitive aspects—they were also able to gain important values.

Famílias de Idosos Soropositivos: Possíveis Abordagens Sistêmicas
Authors: Severo Adriana Mello , Halpern Silvia Chwartzmann
Published: July 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender as repercussões do diagnóstico de HIV/AIDS no contexto familiar de idosos soropositivos e discutir possíveis intervenções a partir da abordagem sistêmica. A fim de responder tais objetivos, empregamos o método de revisão narrativa de literatura à luz de vinhetas extraídas das experiências vivenciadas pela autora em sua prática, como estagiária de psicologia, em um serviço público de saúde que atende pessoas com HIV/AIDS, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. O diagnóstico de HIV/AIDS causa repercussões não somente no domínio da vida do idoso, mas também na forma como as suas famílias funcionam. Muitos idosos optam por não revelar o diagnóstico de HIV positivo para evitar preconceito e discriminação por parte das pessoas com quem convivem, mas tal atitude pode levar à exclusão social e ao enfrentamento solitário da doença. Cada família vai reagir e conviver com o diagnóstico de HIV de uma forma com os serviços de saúde, auxiliando na busca por uma melhor convivência com a doença e contribuindo para a adesão às terapias indicadas. Ressalta-se a importância de abordar essa questão dentro de uma perspectiva sistêmica, ampliando, assim, o olhar para o sistema familiar e não somente para a experiência individual do idoso soropositivo.
Valores e Crenças do Terapeuta Diante do Tema da Infidelidade Conjugal
Authors: Bertoncello Daniela
Published: July 2023

O fenômeno da infidelidade conjugal é um dos temas mais recorrentes na clínica com casais e indivíduos, desafiando terapeutas em geral a examinarem seus valores e crenças pessoais e profissionais, como forma de se colocarem isentos de julgamento na atuação terapêutica. Esse estudo promove reflexões importantes, inclusive a partir de contextos mais amplos tais como: cultura, sociedade, religião, comunidade, instituição, profissão e família. Muitas questões podem atravessar a forma como o terapeuta percebe as ocorrências clínicas relacionadas a esse tema, permeando sua prática com lentes que o favorecerão ou não, para estabelecer vínculos terapêuticos seguros, dotados de confiança, compromisso e respeito, tanto com casais como com indivíduos que o procuram para tratar suas crises conjugais, decorrentes da quebra de confiança relacional. Terapeutas e clientes podem se lançar por verdadeiros labirintos, tais como caminhos sem fim de percepções equivocadas e enredadas por crenças limitantes, que se não forem identificadas, compreendidas e questionadas, poderão comprometer os resultados do trabalho terapêutico. Este artigo propõe, portanto, uma atualização para esse assunto, visto que é mais comum se discorrer na literatura específica da área sobre a terapia para esse tipo de crise conjugal, sendo ainda pouco abordado o papel do terapeuta diante de questões clínicas com essa abrangência e complexidade no que concerne à análise de valores e crenças do terapeuta sobre tal fenômeno.

Authors: Zaparoli Daiane , Damo Danielle Doss , Seidler Joseana Garcez da Luz
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo consiste em um estudo de caso clínico desenvolvido durante a especialização em Terapia Familiar e de Casal realizado pelo Ciclos Instituto de Formação em Terapia Familiar. O estudo de caso refere-se a uma família monoparental e abrange a complexa e ao mesmo tempo enriquecedora tarefa da maternidade, explorando, assim, as fragilidades e facilidades durante esse novo ciclo de vida. Descreve, desse modo, o acompanhamento terapêutico familiar de acordo com a abordagem sistêmica, pontuando, durante esse processo, os reencontros entre os membros familiares, principalmente entre mãe e filho. Enfatizamos que, ao longo desse processo terapêutico, foram obtidos alguns avanços importantes na relação dos membros familiares no sentido de ajudá-los a identificar os padrões disfuncionais, bem como as fragilidades do contexto familiar, promovendo, com isso, uma comunicação assertiva e proporcionando inúmeras reflexões e ressignificações diante das experiências já vivenciadas, possibilitando, assim, um convívio funcional e saudável entre mãe e filho.

Published: July 2023

O Programa Entrelaços é desenvolvido no Instituto de Psiquiatria da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, com famílias que possuem membros com transtorno mental severo. Composto por seminários, seguidos por grupos multifamiliares no modelo da Terapia de Solução de Problemas e gerando grupos de pares na comunidade (grupo de mútua-ajuda). Este é um estudo qualitativo, com objetivo de compreender a experiência dos coordenadores desses vários grupos, e analisar o significado dessa experiência. Os resultados mostraram que a troca de vivências entre as famílias permite um aprofundamento na discussão das questões oriundas da convivência e a construção de possíveis soluções em conjunto para o enfrentamento dos conflitos cotidianos. A participação nos grupos possibilitou acesso à informação; contribuiu para o processo de aceitação, esperança na recuperação, alívio das tensões no convívio familiar e ampliação da rede social de suporte. A psicoeducação auxilia na redução das recidivas/hospitalizações, conflitos e “emoção expressada”; melhora a qualidade de vida e a capacidade de solucionar problemas; desenvolvendo a expertise para lidar com as dificuldades. Grupos conduzidos por pares contribuem para que mais pessoas sejam beneficiadas, tornando-os mais resilientes, empoderados e protagonistas no processo de recovery dos usuários, pelo qual as pessoas são capazes de viver, trabalhar, aprender e participar plenamente em suas comunidades.

Published: July 2023

Este estudo é parte de uma pesquisa mais ampla sobre a separação conjugal na transição para a parentalidade. Teve como objetivo investigar a repercussão de aspectos da formação do casal na separação, ocorrida durante a transição para a parentalidade, a partir da vivência feminina. Foram realizadas 12 entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado com mulheres das camadas médias da população carioca, entre 30 e 40 anos de idade que se separaram há, no mínimo, dois anos, no período de 0 a 2 anos de idade do primeiro filho. Para a análise dos dados, foi utilizado o método de análise de conteúdo e várias categorias emergiram dos relatos das participantes. Tendo em vista o objetivo deste estudo, serão apresentadas e discutidas as categorias: dependência absoluta e ilusão de onipotência. Os resultados permitiram considerar que a escolha amorosa motivada por demandas anaclítica ou narcísica polarizadas,caracterizadas por extrema dependência ou onipotência, potencializadas por valores individualistas e hedonistas, atuou como possível preditora da dissolução amorosa.
Família como Rede de Apoio no Cuidado da Pessoa que Vive com HIV/AIDS
Authors: Barroso Niveamara Sidrac Lima , Lima Simone Maria Santos
Published: July 2023

Aids é a sigla de uma doença infecciosa causada pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana (HIV) que significa síndrome da imunodeficiência adquirida. É um problema de saúde pública e pode hoje ser considerada uma doença crônica, devido a possibilidade de poder controlar a quantidade de vírus no organismo com a terapia antirretroviral (TARV) e assim, evitar doenças oportunistas. Entretanto, apesar de todo avanço medicamentoso de controle da doença, ainda se tem um quadro histórico de preconceitos sociais e morais e medos de morrer, além de muitos estigmas associados. Esse artigo é um relato de campo etnográfico em uma instituição pública do estado do Ceará acerca do atendimento ambulatorial feito com os pacientes de HIV/Aids e suas famílias realizado pelas autoras que são duas psicólogas e terapeutas familiares que trabalham nesse serviço. Os participantes foram pessoas de ambos os sexos e de idades variadas usuários do serviço. O cuidado psicológico de pessoas que vivem com HIV/Aids oferecido procurou desenvolver para além de uma escuta ativa e afetiva, uma abordagem sistêmica e multidimensional desse adoecimento. A metodologia adotada ao longo do desenvolvimento da coleta, registro e análise de informação basearam-se na observação participante e entrevista etnográfica. A inclusão da família como importante rede de apoio revelou-se como estratégia positiva de cuidado psicossocial dessas pessoas, contribuindo para maior adesão no tratamento e menores taxas de adoecimentos e coinfecções. Esse estudo aponta para a escassez de pesquisas e práticas que incluam a família no tratamento e cuidado da pessoa que vive com HIV/Aids.
Mg(SPh)2 as a Catalyst for Efficient Photocatalytic Alkylation Reactions of Active Methylene Compounds with Nonactivated Alkenes
Authors: Yamashita Yasuhiro , Hisada Tomoya , Sato Yuki , Kobayashi Shū
Published: January 2025

Mg(SPh)2 has been found to be a highly active catalyst in photocatalytic alkylation reactions of active methylene compounds with nonactivated alkenes. The desired reactions proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding alkylated products in high yields with low catalyst loadings (0.2–0.3 mol%). This protocol is applicable to a continuous‐flow system. Notably, magnesium is an earth‐abundant metal, and Mg(SPh)2 exhibits higher catalytic activity than the previously reported LiSPh.

RuO2‐based materials are considered an important kind of electrocatalysts on oxygen evolution reaction and water electrolysis, but the reported discrepancies of activities exist among RuO2 electrocatalysts prepared via different processes. Herein, a highly efficient RuO2 catalysts via a facile hydrolysis‐annealing approach is reported for water electrolysis. The RuO2 catalyst dealt with at 200 °C (RuO2‐200) performs the highest activities on both oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acid with overpotentials of 200 mV for OER and 66 mV for HER to reach a current density of 100 mA cm−2 as well as stable operation for100 h. The high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterizations show that the activities of as‐prepared RuO2 rely on the hydroxide group/lattice oxygen (OH−/O2−) ratio, size, and crystalline of RuO2. The density functional theory (DFT) calculation also reveal that the OH− would enhance the activities of RuO2 for HER and OER via modifying the electronic structure to facilitate intermediate adsorption, thereby reducing the energy barrier of the rate‐determining step. The water electrolysis by using RuO2‐200 as the catalyst on both anode and cathode demonstrates a stable generation of hydrogen and oxygen with high Faradic efficiency at a current density of ≈30 mA cm−2 and a potential of below 1.47 V.
