Authors: K. E Leizou , J. O Nduka , A.W Verla 
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this study is to evaluate some major physical, chemical variables and heavy metals in water of the Brass River, Bayelsa State, South-South, Nigeria and assess the potential ecological risk. The variables investigated were: pH, EC, turbidity, TDS, TSS, Cl- , SO2-4, HCO- 3, TH, TA, Ca2+, K and Mg2+ , while the heavy metals were: Mn, Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, Cd, Ni and Cr respectively. The results showed that pH, EC, TDS, Cl-, SO4, TA, TH, Na and K were appreciably high and the heavy metals: Fe, Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd, Ni was found at low concentration, Cr and Mn was below detection limits (BDL). Water quality index (WQI) was computed in order to assess suitability to beneficial purposes and assess the potential ecological risk of the Brass River. The results obtained on WQI from the four sampling stations (Mouth, Upstream, Downstream and Middlestream) fluctuate from 84.13 to 86.36. Hence, the Brass River water quality is considered good based on the water quality index (WQI). A comparative analysis of this study with FEPA, CCME standards for brackish water revealed that the results obtained in this study were within the permissible limits and concomitant with documented studies from similar environments.

Uses of Telehealth to Support Identification and Treatment of Health Disorders in the Criminal Justice System
Authors: Naim Haque Saira 
Published: November 2020

Telehealth, the interactive, electronic exchange of information for diagnosis, treatment, support, or care management, is a critical component of many systems of care.1 The variety of telehealth uses, technologies, and approaches, when implemented successfully, can improve access to care and overcome typical geographic and workforce barriers.1 The opioid epidemic and recent social distancing requirements due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have prompted public safety, behavioral health, and other community partners to explore how telehealth can be used for identification and treatment of disorders in the criminal justice system.
Telehealth offers an innovative strategy for intervention and treatment within the criminal justice system, which is greatly needed given the prevalence of justice-involved populations affected by opioid-use disorder. For one, it is costly to provide treatment and care to people who are incarcerated, and telehealth can help reduce that cost.2 Using telehealth to connect these people to providers can also help avoid resource-heavy and potentially dangerous transfers to care settings. In addition, a telehealth strategy can minimize the burden associated with recruiting and retaining healthcare providers on site, particularly behavioral health providers, who are often in short supply.
Offering options virtually is one way to ameliorate organizational challenges. Services that can be provided via telehealth include inpatient and outpatient medical services, behavioral health, physical and occupational therapy, disaster management, health education,1 and coordination of care support for inmates, providers, and officials. Telehealth can also be used to facilitate release of inmates by connecting people who are in prison or jail with community-based services before release.
Patient- and Family-Centered Video Rounds in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Authors: DeSanti Ryan L. , Brown Diane H. , Srinivasan Sushant , Brazelton Tom , Wilhelm Michael 
Published: November 2020

Objective: Management of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has required social distancing requirements and personal protective equipment shortages, which have forced hospitals to modify patient care rounds. We describe our process developing telemedicine rounds to maintain synchronous, multidisciplinary, pediatric intensive care unit rounds. By adapting available resources using rapid process improvement (PI), we were able to develop patient- and family-centered video rounds (PFCVR).
Design: When rounding team members were forced to work from home, we adapted an existing telemedicine platform (VidyoConnect) to perform PFCVR. A quality improvement (QI) team developed an initial standard process, which underwent rapid PI using a small multidisciplinary team.
Setting: A 21-bed, mixed medical/surgical/cardiac pediatric intensive care unit.
Participants: Critical care patients, families, physicians, consultants, nurses, and ancillary staff.
Interventions: The QI team initially met daily, then weekly, sought feedback from nurses, families, and other care providers, and utilized small tests of change to improve the rounding process.
Results: We established standardized, socially distanced rounds using VidyoConnect to allow synchronous, multidisciplinary PFCVR. Implementation of a schedule and rounding script facilitated efficient and effective team communication, optimized participation by the entire team, and decreased interruptions.
Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic compromised the feasibility of the previous rounding process. PFCVR is a safe and effective tool to facilitate communication while adhering to social distancing guidelines. Use of available platforms and team-based PI is critical for successful implementation.

Objetivo: Apresentar a tradução e adaptação transcultural de uma vinheta de ansiedade social em adolescentes para o português europeu, para integrar o Questionário de Avaliação da Literacia em Saúde Mental — QuALiSMental. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo metodológico detradução e adaptação transcultural da vinheta de ansiedade social em adolescentes para o português europeu segundo as etapas: 1) tradução; 2) síntese das traduções; 3) retrotradução; 4) síntese das retrotraduções; 5) painel de peritos, constituído por oito profissionais de diferentes áreas da saúde; 6) cognitive debriefing, integrando seis adolescentes com uma média de idades de 14,33 anos (DP = 0,52); 7) revisão e relatório final. Ao longo deste processo, tivemos em conta as considerações éticas. Resultados: Obteve-se uma vinheta de ansiedade social nos adolescentes “João” e “Joana” no português europeu. Salientamos os resultados relativos às etapas: painel de peritos e cognitive debriefing. Foram obtidos os critérios de consenso, entre os peritos, para a equivalência semântica e idiomática, a equivalência experiencial e cultural e a equivalência conceptual. No cognitive debriefing verificou-se 100% de concordância relativamente à clareza do conteúdo da vinheta no português europeu. Conclusões: Esta vinheta pode ser utilizada na prática clínica, nos diferentes níveis de cuidados, na educação/formação e na investigação. Integrada no QuALiSMental permite a avaliação da literacia em saúde mental sobre a ansiedade em adolescentes em diversos contextos e/ou avaliação da efetividade de intervenções psicoeducacionais nesta área.
Comportamentos ortoréticos e experiências de vergonha: A sua relação e impacto no comportamento alimentar perturbado
Authors: Semião Patrícia , Oliveira Sara , Ferreira Cláudia 
Published: November 2020

Objetivos: O objetivo do presente estudo foi testar o comportamento ortorético (estilo atitudinal e comportamental que reflete uma preocupação intensa e persistente com o consumo de alimentos saudáveis) enquanto fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de comportamentos alimentares perturbados e comportamentos de ingestão alimentar compulsiva. No Estudo 1 foram testadas diferenças entre níveis moderados/severos e níveis baixos de comportamento ortorético em relação às experiências de vergonha (geral e focada na imagem corporal) e indicadores de comportamento alimentar perturbado (geral e compulsão alimentar). No Estudo 2 foi testado um modelo teórico que hipotetiza a associação entre o comportamento ortorético, vergonha geral e da imagem corporal como fatores de risco do comportamento alimentar perturbado e da compulsão alimentar, em mulheres da população geral. Método: A amostra foi constituída por 307 mulheres da população geral, com idades compreendidas entre 18 e 63 anos (M = 33,62 ± 11,73) que responderam a um protocolo online composto por medidas de autorresposta. Resultados: As participantes com níveis moderados/severos de comportamento ortorético revelaram níveis significativamente superiores de vergonha geral, vergonha da imagem corporal, comportamento alimentar perturbado e compulsão alimentar, comparativamente às participantes com níveis baixos de comportamento ortorético. Os resultados da path analysis indicaram que o comportamento ortorético, a vergonha geral e a vergonha da imagem corporal explicam 51,0% da variância do comportamento alimentar perturbado e 47,0% da variância da compulsão alimentar. Conclusões: O presente estudo sugere o comportamento ortorético como possível fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de Perturbações do Comportamento Alimentar. Os resultados deste estudo são importantes para a prática clínica, mostrando que os comportamentos ortoréticos, apesar de serem muitas vezes considerados como comportamentos socialmente aceitáveis, quando associados a experiências de vergonha geral e da imagem corporal, podem contribuir para maior severidade dos comportamentos alimentares perturbados, tanto do tipo restritivo como de ingestão alimentar compulsiva.
A vergonha e o bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes: O medo de receber compaixão e os sentimentos de segurança e ligação aos outros como processos mediadores
Authors: Mendes Ana Laura , Canavarro Maria Cristina , Ferreira Cláudia 
Published: November 2020

Objetivos: O objetivo do presente estudo foi testar o papel mediador do medo de receber compaixão dos outros e dos sentimentos de segurança e proximidade, em contexto social, na associação entre vergonha externa e o bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes. Foi hipotetizado que adolescentes com elevados níveis de vergonha externa apresentem uma diminuição nos níveis de bem-estar psicológico, através do aumento do medo de receber compaixão e da diminuição dos sentimentos de segurança e proximidade em contexto social. Métodos: Participaram neste estudo 361 adolescentes portugueses de ambos os sexos (43,8% rapazes; 56,2% raparigas), com idade entre os 12 e os 18 anos, os quais completaram medidas de autorresposta relativamente a sentimentos de vergonha, medo da compaixão, sentimentos de segurança e de proximidade aos outros, e bem-estar percebido dos adolescentes. Os dados foram explorados através de estatísticas descritivas e correlacionais, e o modelo teórico proposto foi testado através de análises path. Resultados: Os dados pareceram demonstrar que, em ambos os sexos, a vergonha externa está associada a um decréscimo do bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes, e que este efeito é mediado pelo aumento do medo de receber compaixão dos outros e pela diminuição dos sentimentos de segurança e conexão em contexto social. Os resultados indicaram que o modelo testado apresenta um adequado ajustamento aos dados, explicando 15,0% da variância do medo de receber compaixão dos outros, 37,0% da variância dos sentimentos de segurança e proximidade aos outros e 46,0% da variância do bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes. Conclusões: Este estudo parece contribuir para uma compreensão mais aprofundada acerca da importância do papel dos sentimentos de inferioridade, do medo de receber compaixão dos outros, e dos sentimentos de segurança e proximidade, no contexto social, no bem-estar psicológico dos adolescentes.

Authors: Macedo Paula , Guadalupe Sónia 
Published: November 2020

Objetivo: O estudo teve como objetivo analisar a articulação entre a saúde e o apoio social informal no âmbito da continuidade de cuidados. Participantes: Participaram 57 doentes referenciados em 2019 por um hospital para a Rede Nacional de Cuidados Continuados Integrados em Portugal. A amostra era maioritariamente do sexo feminino (63,2%; n = 36), com uma média de idades de 80 anos (DP = 9,2), predominantemente de residência rural (64,9%; n = 37), casada (56,1%; n = 32), em que 35,0% vivia só ( n = 20). Método: Estudo descritivo com análise quantitativa univariada e análise categorial do conteúdo dos registos no processo social. Resultados: Dos 57 doentes referenciados para a Rede, registaram-se óbitos e cancelamentos em 32 casos (56,1%). Dos 25 doentes que tiveram alta da Rede, no pós-alta todos necessitavam de apoio informal e/ou formal, enquanto que à data de referenciação hospitalar apenas 20,0% da amostra necessitava de apoio (p < 0,001). Dos que tinham apoio, cerca de um terço tinha apoio da rede social primária, maioritariamente dos filhos e cerca de metade dos doentes tinha filhos emigrantes. No pós-alta 64% (n = 16 dos 25) tinham apoio informal. Verificámos ainda que 8,8% dos doentes eram cuidadores e passaram a necessitar de cuidados. Conclusão: O estudo confirma a importância de assegurar cuidados continuados aos cidadãos que viram a sua vulnerabilidade aumentada por doença com sequelas, assim como a fulcral articulação com o sistema de apoio informal aos doentes.
Radykalny weganizm osób kolorowych
Authors: Poks Małgorzata 
Published: November 2020

Niniejszy esej podnosi kwestię skomplikowanych związków między szowinizmem gatunkowym i rasizmem. Podczas gdy wyostrzona wrażliwość na cierpienie słabszego i doświadczenia w walce o równouprawnienie społeczne powinny pomagać przerzucić pomost między interesami skolonizowanych zwierząt ludzkich i pozaludzkich, w świadomości kolorowych mieszkańców społeczeństw osadniczych weganizm postrzegany jest zazwyczaj jako styl życia uprzywilejowanego białego człowieka - kolonizatora. Na skutek uwewnętrznienia kolonialnych koncepcji tożsamości praktykujący kolorowy weganin czuje się często wyobcowany ze swojej własnej kultury. Do demontażu matrycy kolonialności i solidarnej walki o świat wolny od wszelkich form opresji nawołują najbardziej w ostatnich latach aktywni kolorowi weganie. Analizie ich poglądów poświęcona jest główna część eseju.
a Literary History of Mental Captivity in the United States. <i>Blood Meridian</i>, <i>Wise Blood</i>, and Contemporary Political Discourse
Authors: Rodriguez Manuel Broncano 
Published: November 2020

On July 15, 2018, US President Donald Trump and Russia President Vladimir Putin held a summit in Helsinki that immediately set off a chain reaction throughout the world. By now, barely two months later, that summit is all but forgotten for the most part, superseded by the frantic train of events and the subsequent bombardment from the media that have become the “new normal.” While the iron secrecy surrounding the conversation between the two dignitaries allowed for all kinds of speculation, the image of president Trump bowing to his Russian counterpart (indeed a treasure trove for semioticians) became for many observers in the US and across the world the living proof of Mr. Trump´s subservient allegiance to Mr. Putin and his obscure designs. Even some of the most recalcitrant GOPs vented quite publicly their disgust at the sight of a president paying evident homage to the archenemy of the United States, as Vercingetorix kneeled down before Julius Cesar in recognition of the Gaul´s surrender to the might of the Roman Empire. For some arcanereason, the whole episode of the Helsinki summit brought to my mind, as in a vivid déjà vu, Cormac McCarthy´s novel Blood Meridian and more specifically, the characters of Judge Holden and the idiotic freak who becomes Holden´s ludicrous disciple in the wastelands of Arizona. In my presentation, I will provide some possible explanations as to why I came to blend these two unrelated episodes into a single continuum. In the process, I will briefly revisit some key texts in the American canon that fully belong in the history of “mental captivity” in the United States, yet to be written. Obviously, I am not in hopes of deciphering the ultimate reasons for current US foreign policy, and the more modest aim of my presentation today is to offer some insights into the general theme of our conference through a novel and a textual tradition overpopulated with “captive minds.”
Dracula as Inter-American Film Icon: Universal Pictures and Cinematográfica ABSA
Authors: Barrenechea Antonio 
Published: November 2020

My essay explores the vampire cinema of Hollywood and Mexico. In particular, I trace the relationship between Universal Pictures as the progenitor of horror during the Great Depression and Cinematográfica ABSA's "mexploitation" practices. The latter resulted in the first vampire film in Latin America--"El vampiro" (1957). Rather than strengthening separatist national cinemas, the unintended consequences of genre film production make this a case of inter-American scope.
Captive Minds. Norms, Normativities and the Forms of Tragic Protest in Literature and Cultural Practice
Authors: Poks Małgorzata 
Published: November 2020

As a foundation and product of grand narratives, norms apply to any and every aspect of individual, communal, and social life. They regulate our behaviors, determine directions in the evolution of arts and philosophies, condition intra- and cross cultural understanding, organize hierarchies. Yet – when transformed into laws – norms become appropriated by dominant discourses and become “truths.” Those in control of language always construe them as “universal” and, as such, “transparent.” The usefulness of norms stems from the fact that they facilitate our orientation in the world. In the long run, however, they are bound to block our imaginative access to alternative ways of living and thinking about reality, thus enslaving our minds in a construction of reality believed to be natural. In a world so determined, dissenting perspectives and pluralities of views threaten to disrupt norms and normativities, along with the order (patriarchal, racist, sexist, ableist, speciesist, etc.) build into them. Benefactors of a normative worldview and average individuals busily trying to fit in police the perimeters of the accepted, disciplining nonconformists, rebels, and nonnormative individualists of every stripe. “Assent — and you are sane,” quipped Emily Dickinson in her well-known poem, “Demur — you’re straightway dangerous — And handled with a Chain —” (209). Notorious for their inimical attitude to repressive majorities, artists, philosophers, academics, and other “marginal” persons have always challenged deified norms. Opening up liberatory perspectives, they have tried to escape mental captivities and imagine the world otherwise: as a place where difference is cherished and where justice reigns. Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk, winner of the 2018 Nobel Prize in literature, imagines an alternative reality whose inhabitants, Heterotopians, constantly suspend commonly held beliefs in order to examine their validity. Passive perception, argues Tokarczuk, “has moral significance. It allows evil to take root” (43). Without a periodical suspension of belief in truths so deeply naturalized that they look like Truth Itself, we become perpetrators of the evil glossed over by narratives whose veracity we take for granted.
