Authors: Mozzini Chiara , Pesce Giancarlo , Casadei Alder , Girelli Domenico , Soresi Maurizio 
Published: November 2019

This review covers the role of ultrasonography as an essential non-invasive diagnostic approach when facing patients with anemia, a common clinical problem. Abdomen ultrasound is well recognized as a first-line examination in the setting of blood loss, both acute and chronic. Less is clear about the additional opportunities, given by ultrasound in anemia, due to the many other possible causes.
Here we provide information on the utility of ultrasound in different contexts and a practical guide for clinicians facing anemic patients
Factors Affecting Adolescents' Risk-Taking in Single-Child Families
Authors: Ataei Tahereh , Zeighami Reza , Azh Nezal , Mafi Maryam 
Published: November 2019

Introduction:
Given the current concerns about population decline and the prevalence of single-child families, as well as risky behaviors which are increasing in the community, there is a need to provide backgrounds for more information regarding the characteristics of single child and factors affecting the risk-taking of adolescents in these families to modify the risk factors of these in adolescents.

Methods:
This is a descriptive, analytical study. The sample was single-child adolescents and their parents conducted in the census method. The data collection tools were demographics questionnaires, Iranian adolescents risk-taking, and Baumrind parenting style inventory completed by the participants in health centers of Qazvin, Iran, in 2017–2018. The SPSS software version 24 as well as step-wise multiple linear regression model were used to analyze the data.

Results:
One hundred and seventeen adolescents aged 12–19 years participated in this study. About 79% of mothers and 69.3% of fathers had high education. Most of the mothers were homemakers (62.9%) and fathers were employees (76.9%). The regression model demonstrated that emotional and social supports reduce risk-taking. If a decision-maker or supervisor for a teenager is someone other than parents, moreover, when the number of meals served by parents is less than twice a day and lack of leisure-time increase the risky behaviors (adjusted R
2 = 0.66, P = 0.003).

Conclusion:
Although many factors affect the risk-taking of adolescents in single-child families, parents can reduce their adolescents' risk-taking by increasing their social and emotional supports, planning for spending more time, and allowing them to participate in family decision-making process.
Fear of Negative Evaluation and Social Well-Being in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Authors: Soleimani Mohammad Ali , Sharif Saeed Pahlevan , Yaghoobzadeh Ameneh , Allen Kelly A. A. 
Published: November 2019

Introduction:
Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) can be accompanied by fear of negative evaluation (FNE). Emerging MS symptoms and FNE affect patients' health in dimensions including social well-being (SWB). The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between FNE and SWB among Iranian patients with MS. In addition, the moderating role of disease duration on this relationship was examined.

Methods:
In this descriptive correlational study, 200 MS patients were recruited from two clinics in Qazvin, Iran, through convenience sampling. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the Brief FNE Scale, and the SWB Questionnaire.

Results:
Mean scores for FNE and SWB were 35.12 ± 13.39 and 100.11 ± 9.81, respectively. We did not find a significant relationship between FNE and SWB (b = 0.092, P = 0.321). However, there was a statistically significant positive association between the duration of the disease and SWB (b = 0.928, P = 0.001). Moreover, there was a statistically significant interaction between the duration of the disease and FNE in predicting SWB (b = −0.025, P = 0.049).

Conclusion:
The study showed that the strength of the relationship between FNE and SWB depends on the disease duration. More specifically, FNE predicts well-being in patients with longer disease duration but not in patients with shorter disease duration.
Theory of Planned Behavior, Self-Stigma, and Perceived Barriers Explains the Behavior of Seeking Mental Health Services for People at Risk of Affective Disorders
Authors: Damghanian Maryam , Alijanzadeh Mehran 
Published: November 2019

Introduction:
To use the theory of planned behavior (TPB) incorporated with self-stigma and perceived barriers to investigate the nature of help-seeking behaviors in a community sample at risk of anxiety or depression in Iran.

Methods:
Participants at risk of anxiety or depression screened by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (n = 1011) completed the following questionnaires at baseline: Factors in TPB, Self-Stigma in Seeking Help Scale, and perceived barriers in seeking help. Two years later, their help-seeking behavior (i.e., visiting a specialist) was retrieved from their medical records. Models using TPB concepts and incorporated with self-stigma and perceived barriers were tested by structural equation modeling.

Results:
The effects of TPB concepts, self-stigma and perceived barriers on help-seeking behaviors (i.e., visiting a specialist for mental health problems) were supported by the excellent data-model fit indices: Comparative fit index = 0.997; Tucker–Lewis index = 0.965; root mean square of error approximation (RMSEA) = 0.028; and weighted RMSEA = 0.386. All the path coefficients were significant, except for the path between perceived barriers and help-seeking behavior. Perceived behavioral control had the strongest coefficient (standardized coefficient = 0.547); subjective norm had the weakest coefficient (standardized coefficient = 0.061). In addition, perceived barriers were indirectly associated with help-seeking behaviors.

Conclusion:
TPB is an effective model to explain the help-seeking behaviors for people at risk of anxiety or depression. In addition, self-stigma and perceived barriers may be simultaneously considered when clinicians want to prevent an individual with depression or anxiety from not seeking proper help on their mental health problems.
ZONEAMENTO URBANO E LOTEAMENTOS RECENTES NA CIDADE DE PIRACICABA
Authors: Alves José Diego Gobbo , Braga Roberto 
Published: November 2019

A atuação do mercado imobiliário nas cidades brasileiras tende a ditar o ritmo de urbanização do território e, consequentemente, tem papel ativo na determinação da ocupação e do uso do solo urbano. O Estado assume uma posição contraditória nesse processo, pois ao mesmo tempo que é o responsável pelo planejamento do território que deveria ser justo para toda a sociedade atua, paralelamente,
viabilizando a reprodução do capital pelos agentes imobiliários. O objetivo deste trabalho é a avaliação da relação entre o zoneamento urbano, como instrumento urbanístico de uso e ocupação de solo e o surgimento de novos loteamentos na cidade de Piracicaba - São Paulo. Os resultados da análise apontaram que cerca de 40% dos loteamentos aprovados no período de 2006 a 2016 o foram em áreas de
ocupação controlada devido às especificidades físicas de fragilidade ambiental. Em contrapartida, zonas de adensamento prioritário permanecem com vazios urbanos, áreas dotadas de infraestruturas e equipamentos sociais, isto é, preparadas para absorver os loteamentos aprovados no período.
CONTRIBUIÇÕES DA TEORIA HISTÓRICO-CULTURAL AO ENSINO E APRENDIZAGEM DA GEOGRAFIA
Authors: Gonçalves Amanda Regina 
Published: November 2019

Este texto objetiva apresentar subsídios teórico-metodológicos às atividades de ensino de Geografia realizadas com alunos nas escolas de educação básica, baseados em pressupostos da Teoria Histórico-Cultural. A partir das experiências espontâneas com o meio formamos pensamentos sincréticos, com nexos vagos e isolados entre as informações, ou seja, sem ligação com outras totalidades ou com ligações cujas intencionalidades podem ser pouco claras. Na escola, o professor é o profissional especializado em mediar esta aprendizagem utilizando-se de conhecimentos e instrumentos específicos para isso, com o objetivo de desenvolver o pensamento dos alunos, de forma planejada e dialética e com intencionalidades políticas, éticas e didáticas. Ao orientar os processos de ensino e aprendizagem, o professor pode permitir fazer análises, comparações e sínteses; visando à autonomia para o estudo e para o desenvolvimento do pensamento e existencial.

Dewey, Materiality, and the Role of the Visual (Studio) Arts in the Liberal Arts
Authors: Leddy Thomas 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Most of John Dewey’s early work on educational theory was directed to K-12 education, and his later ground-breaking work in aesthetics, particularly in Art as Experience, never directly discusses liberal arts education. However, he did sometimes address the nature of liberal arts education: in his discussion of Aristotle’s concept of “liberal” in Democracy and Education, in his critique of the Smith-Hughes Act of 1917, in a debate with educator Robert Maynard Judson, and in his small piece, published in 1944, “The Problem of the Liberal Arts College.” Moreover, the impact of his theories on arts education was profound, mainly by way of his influence on Black Mountain College.
However, it is Art as Experience that provides the basis for placing the studio arts at the very center of such an expansion. The role of making and materiality in the liberal arts can only be fully understood once we grasp the full implications of Dewey’s closely related concepts of experience and medium. His conception of “an experience” as it relates to artistic making and appreciation can be best understood in terms of his understanding of the creative process. Materiality plays an important role in this, especially, again, through the concept of medium.
The Drama of Ekphrastic Affect: Sculpture in Evliyâ Çelebi’s The Book of Travels
Authors: Kaya Nilay 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Ekphrasis or rendering a visual object in writing, a form of ancient Greek and Roman rhetoric, has been recognized as a literary device since the description of Achilles’s shield in Homer’s Iliad. This article will examine Evliyâ Çelebi’s ekphrastic rendering of certain works of sculpture in Seyahatnâme (The Book of Travels) and demonstrate the working of culture, creed, and aesthetic taste in the ekphrastic narrativity of foreign works of art. As ekphrasis is affect par excellence, the argument of this paper rests on the possibility of normative and cultural control of affect, contrary to the concept of affect that exclusively refers to the neurosciences of subliminal response and emotion or to the idea that affect is simply the sum total of corporeal responses to physical stimuli. As I try to demonstrate through a close reading of Çelebi’s ekphrastic passages on sculpture in his Seyahatnâme, ekphrastic writing can rest on both aspects of affect: its subliminal as well as intentional states.
JOGO MANCALA DE GUINÉ BISSAU EM DIÁLOGO COM A ETNOMATEMÁTICA: um dos caminhos para decolonialidade do saber
Authors: Santos Eliane Costa , Caetano Samora 
Published: November 2019

Este artigo descreve um recorte de uma pesquisa, na linha da Etnomatemática, em processo de execução, mas que já apresenta resultados parciais. Pretende-se discutir a necessidade de serem trabalhados na escola os conhecimentos dos países ditos “periféricos” no mundo, no intento de pensar, com a sala de aula, um dos caminhos afrocentrados para a decolonialidade do saber das culturas ditas “periféricas”, especialmente, dos africanos de Guiné- Bissau, como maneira de contribuir para descolonização do saber. Nesse sentido, trazemos um jogo de origem africana, especificamente de Guiné-Bissau, denominado de Mancala, apontando como ele pode ser trabalhado nas instituições escolares, com intuito de promover a intersecção da Matemática com as culturas não hegemônicas. Um dos objetivos é mostrar a importância de tais conhecimentos nessa perspectiva serem introduzidos no currículo escolar de forma a contribuir para com a decolonialidade, desconstruindo barreiras cientificas que rejeitam os saberes não eurocêntricos. Para realização deste trabalho tomamos como base D´Ambrosio (2001), para pensar episte-mologia etnomatemática; Powel e Bairral (2006), acerca da linguagem matemática; Quijano (2005) e Sousa Santos (2009), para pensar a decolonialidade do saber, e Santos (2018) para entender a etnomatemática e cultura africana. O jogo foi desenvolvido na disciplina de Etnomatemática na UNILAB (2017.2) e aplicado em turmas do Ensino Fundamental do município de Acarape e na formação de professores trazemos como um dos resultados do projeto, os depoimentos, tanto da professora quanto dos estudantes que apontaram a necessidade de estes fazeres e saberesa serem também abordados na sala de aula a fim de desconstruir ou reconstruir outros caminhos ou outras formas de pensar aMatemática escolar.Palavras-chave: Matemática Escolar.

Published: November 2019

O objetivo deste estudo foi promover o desenvolvimento das idéias fundamentais de estocástica de acordo com Heitele (1975), através de atividades recreativas e aleatórias, em particular para beneficiar idéias prévias do acaso, como antecedente ao cálculo de probabilidades. Concebeu-se um curso em duas sessões para professores do nível secundário superior e superior, com atividades que favorecem o desenvolvimento do pensamento probabilístico; já que a probabilidade é importante na tomada de decisões na vida cotidiana, "mas também é importante reconhecer o „Azar‟ como uma possibilidade de tomar decisões baseadas em conceitos matemáticos para prever ou estimar a probabilidade de um evento" . Para a fundamentação teórica, o trabalho apresenta como suporte teórico três eixos importantes: Epistemológico, Cognitivo, Social. Segundo Ojeda (2003), é necessário fornecer ao indivíduo uma cultura matemática abrangente, o que leva ao tratamento de questões probabilísticas e estatísticas. Palavras-chave: Educação Matemática.

Why do we read illness stories?
Authors: Nesby Linda , Johansen May-Lill 
Published: November 2019

Why do we read pathographies and why have they become so popular? These are the key questions in our paper. In answering these, we will introduce and discuss Rita Felski’s The Uses of Literature (2008) in connection to the American bestseller and Pulitzer prize finalist pathography When Breath Becomes Air (2016) by Paul Kalanithi.
We chose Kalanithi’s book because we consider it in many ways typical of the pathographical genre with its first-person narrator, the frequent expression of shock, its reflections on meaning of the illness and the focus on daily life. Rita Felski’s The uses of literature reflects by means of the four concepts knowledge, recognition, shock and enchantment upon what makes us want to read a certain book or genre. However, when working with Kalanithi´s novel we soon found that Felski´s four modes were not only meaning-making for enlightening the question on why we as readers turn to this book. We soon also found that recognition, enchantment, knowledge and shock were concepts that were relevant used in connection with Kalanithi´s own experience of becoming ill and being a patient. The concepts, therefore, seem most useful for reflections on both the reader’s response and the author drives of the pathography genre.

Objetivou-se avaliar o índice vegetativo da diferença normalizada (NDVI) do dossel da Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu em função das doses de nitrogênio, com o uso de câmera multiespectral e sensor óptico ativo. Além disso, realizou-se estudo de correlação entre o NDVI, obtido pela câmera e o sensor óptico, e a características produtivas do capim Marandu. Os tratamentos foram compostos por cinco doses de nitrogênio (N) correspondentes a 0; 62,50; 125; 187;40; e 250 mg dm-3. Antes da semeadura, aplicou-se 2250 mg dm-3 de calcário dolomítico. Foram aplicados 200 mg dm-3 de fósforo (P2O5) no plantio e 300 mg dm-3 de potássio (K2O). As predicações das equações de regressão indicam que as respostas espectrais do dossel da planta forrageira foram influenciadas pela aplicação de N. Em todas as situações os valores de NDVI adquiridos pelo sensor óptico ativo se ajustaram a modelos matemáticos de regressão de segundo grau, e os da câmera multiespectral, apenas aos 42 dias de crescimento após a adubação, ajustaram-se ao modelo linear. Assim, a câmera digital convertida e o sensor óptico ativo detectaram mudanças na reflectância espectral do dossel da cultivar Marandu em reposta à adubação nitrogenada.

Published: November 2019

Hexagonal Magnetoplumbite Compound CaFe12O19 were synthesized by two methods namely Solvo Combustion and Ceramic methods respectively. The compounds were studied by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), Scanning electron Microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Magnetic Studies. The XRD studies indicate the sample synthesized by Solvo Combustion Method CaFe12O19 doesnot crystallize purely in Magnetoplumbite structure. Its ‘d’ values and (hkl) are slightly different than when small amount of Strontium is added to calcium which crystallize in Hexagonal Structure with a = 5.80 Ǻ and c = 22.15 Ǻ since the ionic radius of Strontium is more than that of Calcium. The SEM images by Solvo Combustion and Ceramic method nearly indicate the morphology of the samples to be Hexagonal structure. The EDS indicates the clear presence of element Ca, Sr, Fe and O in the Solvo combustion and ceramic method prepared sample.

Published: November 2019

Diarrhoea is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in children under the age of 5 years. Due to this problem, the World Health Organization has encouraged studies that will bring about the desired treatment and prevention of diarrhoea. Myrianthus arboreus leaves (MA) is used in some tribes of Nigeria for food. In this study, the antidiarrhoea activities of the aqueous extract of Myrianthus arboreus leaves were investigated with experimental animals via feacal count, measurement gastrointestinal charcoal meal distance and electrolyte composition. The extract (500, 1000 and 2000) mg/kg in comparison with loperamide hydrochloride, decreased the degree of gastrointestinal motility, production of diarrhoea stool, reduced the frequency of defecation and delayed the onset of diarrhoea in castor oil induced in albino rats. Also the extract inhibited the concentration of intestinal fluid electrolytes.
