Atuação da fisioterapia intensiva no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: Silva Álvaro José Ramos Feijó , Leão Marcos Lorran Paranhos , Paranhos Suellen de Oliveira 
Published: September 2021

A COVID-19, doença causada pelo novo coronavírus, está afetando consideravelmente as práticas de saúde da maioria dos países. Ela se apresenta com sintomas respiratórios, culminando, algumas vezes, em morte ocasionada por Síndrome Respiratória Aguda Grave. Esse contexto exigiu uma mudança na organização dos sistemas de saúde, novos protocolos e alteração da atuação de profissionais, como do fisioterapeuta. A atuação desses profissionais no âmbito da reabilitação tem se mostrado muito útil ao prognóstico dos pacientes. Por isso, este busca revisar a literatura existente acerca da fisioterapia e reabilitação respiratória em pacientes portadores do novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2) e assim, levantar o atual estado dessa prática. Trata-se de um trabalho qualitativo, básico, exploratório e bibliográfico integrativo. A busca foi realizada utilizando os descritores: Physical Therapy, Intesive Physiotherapy, Coronavirus Infection e Respiration, nos repositórios Pubmed, Bireme e Springerlink e foram incluídos trabalhos em inglês e francês de 2020 e 2021. Os dados relatados sugerem que a fisioterapia fornece suporte ventilatório durante a fase aguda da doença e intervenções de reabilitação posteriores a fim de promover a funcionalidade. Apesar de não existir evidências que ela altere o curso do COVID-19 na fase aguda da doença em pacientes com insuficiência respiratória hipoxêmica e tosse seca, pacientes com tosse produtiva podem se beneficiar de manobras de higiene brônquica que estimulem a tosse. Fornecimento de oxigênio, ventilação mecânica não invasiva, desmame da ventilação assistida e desobstrução das vias aéreas são aplicados, manobras de mobilização precoce e variação da postura são efetuadas cotidianamente. Contudo, para pacientes com ventilação mecânica invasiva, há poucas indicações do trabalho fisioterápico, que tem principalmente um papel de monitoramento e posicionamento do paciente para otimizar a razão ventilação/perfusão. A posição prona é recomendada para pacientes em situação grave. Além disso, são garantidas todas as ações que promovam a autonomia respiratória do paciente, quando as condições clínicas permitem. Considera-se que há pouca base de dados relatados na literatura para uma discussão concisa acerca do tema proposto. Contudo, pode-se inferir que existem evidências de que a fisioterapia para o paciente acometido pela COVID-19 auxilia no prognóstico, na medida em que proporciona melhor oxigenação e trocas gasosas, além de oferecer técnicas de desobstrução das vias aéreas para pacientes ventilados e auxiliar no posicionamento de pacientes com insuficiência respiratória grave. Evidentemente, o acompanhamento, no decorrer da enfermidade e na recuperação, é importante para o acometido que apresenta melhor evolução clínica.

Visual Metaphors for the People: Unpacking Sergei Eisenstein’s Pedagogy of the Russian Revolution Through Film
Authors: Brown Ashley Prescott 
Published: September 2021

This paper attempts to understand how the celebrated and controversial figure of Sergei Eisenstein understood and contributed to the formation of the Soviet Union through his films of the 1920s. The lens of visual metaphors offer a specific insight into how artistic choices of the director were informed by his own pedagogy for the Russian Revolution. The paper asks the questions: Did Eisenstein's films reflect the official party rhetoric? How did they inform or motivate the public toward the communist ideology of the early Soviet Union? The primary sources used in this paper are from the films Strike (1925), Battleship Potemkin (1926), October (1928), and The General Line (1929). Eisenstein created visual metaphors through the juxtaposition of images in his films which alluded to higher concepts. A shot of a worker followed by the shot of gears turning created the concept of industry in the minds of the audience. Through visual metaphors, it is possible to understand the motives of Eisenstein and the Communist party. It is also possible, with the aid of secondary sources, to see how those motives differed.
Venezuela in Crisis: A Backgrounder
Authors: Mejia Jorge Steven 
Published: September 2021

This essay provides a rigorous and accessible background to what is likely the most pressing geopolitical issue in twenty-first-century Latin America: the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela under President Nicolás Maduro of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). To this end, it analyzes and connects three distinct political phenomena in Venezuelan history whose interrelated development underpins the country’s current instability: Puntofijismo (1958-1998), Chavismo (1998-2013), and Madurismo (2013-present). It firsts describes the collapse of Puntofijismo, Venezuela’s style of pacted democracy and its oil-dependent petro-state to contextualize the rise of Hugo Chávez’s political project in 1990 known as Bolivarianism. The paper then considers Chávez’s regime and how it continued, yet also departed from, Puntofijismo through clientelism, exclusionary politics, and the creation of an illiberal hybrid regime. Upon this foreground, the paper situates the current student protests, military repression, and humanitarian crisis under President Maduro. Using both English and Spanish-language source material, this paper lays bare the current complex reality that is Venezuela.
Theology as a Sacrament of Hope
Authors: Blume Margaret 
Published: September 2021

In his exegesis of the Transfiguration, Thomas Aquinas says that the vision of divine glory was given to Peter, James, and John in order to prepare them for Christ’s imminent Passion and Resurrection (Cf. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae III, Q.45). The brilliance of Christ’s face shining like the sun (cf. Mt. 17:2) strengthened the apostles so that they would not lose heart during the darkness that would come, but would wait for Christ’s splendor to be revealed again after the Resurrection. The entire mystery is an icon of hope, for it shows that visions of glory are always given as part of a journey towards their fulfillment. “It is good for us to be here,” Peter recognized, but the apostles were not brought up to the mountain to remain there. The revelation sent them back down the mountain to fare forward in hope. In this paper, I would like to suggest that the work of theology is meant to share in the mystery of the Transfiguration, and thus cultivate the virtue of hope. In this task, theology can learn from literature, for the way of revealing is as important as the message to be revealed. I would like to propose Shakespeare’s The Tempest as a model. In its dramatic structure and wonder-inspiring poetic form, The Tempest participates in the mystery of the Transfiguration, sending the audience away from the strange island refreshed and reoriented, set on the way with Prospero towards freedom. The play challenges theology to present the Good News of the Gospel in a way that makes the glory of the Lord visible by the radiance of its form, and interrupts into ordinary time, like the storm with which The Tempest begins, so that the revelation is not an end in itself. If theology is able to set human beings on a journey by cultivating patience and wonder in the very way it reveals, then it will effect the mysteries that it signifies, and truly impart Christian hope.
Inculturation and the Guadalupana
Authors: Shea SJ Henry 
Published: September 2021

In his recent Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium, Pope Francis emphasizes “the importance of understanding evangelization as inculturation. Grace supposes culture,” he writes, “and God’s gift becomes flesh in the culture of those who receive it” (EG 115). Expressing themes that have recurred throughout his life and ministry, Francis proceeds to lauds the role of popular piety in the life of a people, maintaining that its accessible, incarnate features exemplify the embodiment of an evangelical faith in culture. Echoing Aparecida, Francis describes popular piety as a “spirituality incarnated in the culture of the lowly” and “the people’s mysticism” (EG 124).It would be difficult to find a more significant example of the convergence of these themes than the celebrated image of Our Lady of Guadalupe, to which Francis himself expresses devotion. What is it about this symbol that has captivated the hearts of so many? Using Francis’ words in Evangelii Gaudium as a point of departure, this paper analyzes the Guadalupan image and event as a potential model for inculturation. It focuses upon three key features of the image from which can be gleaned broader principles for inculturation, namely: (1) its interlacing of cultural and revelational symbols in such a way that the cultural symbols are affirmed as well as transformed, (2) the use of inculturated symbol as a way of maximizing what Rahner refers to as “the overplus of meaning” communicated through “primordial” words and symbols that evoke deeper, transcendental aspects of human experience, and (3) finally the use of inculturated symbol to mediate interpersonal faith-encounters that can be shared through the renewed culture and the bonds of community.
Rediscovering and Reshaping the Notion of "Neighbor"
Authors: Engbwang SJ Bernard 
Published: September 2021

In the realm of Christian faith, the notion of “neighbor” represents a “gate for salvation.” In this work, my aim is to shed light on the necessity of rediscovering and reshaping what is meant by “neighbor” in the context of current worldwide challenges. In fact, it is a truism to say that our world is crossing one of the most critical periods of its evolution: Global warming, migrations crisis, terrorism, etc, all contribute to a complex situation. In the specific context of United States, there are racial and gender issues, gun violence, and other unique issues to take into account. All those critical situations reflect what we may call “crisis of neighborhood.” I propose in this paper, based on the Book of Genesis, a specific definition of neighbor: a helper desired by God to fulfill human person’s existential anxiety. In fact, in Gn 2:18, the declaration by God that it is good for the man not to be alone points to the necessity of having a neighbor. Here is the origin of neighborhood. Besides, it seems worthwhile to underline here the fact that the woman was not the first helper to be created. By way of reshaping, I aim to extend the notion of neighbor beyond a human person. In the NT, the notion is covered by the religious and social accent. The fact that Jesus extended its meaning beyond the community of Covenant to fit his message of love may pave our way even to the extent of a cosmic level, to deal with ecological issues. In that sense, plants and animals might be integrated in that notion.
Prophet at the Bedside: A Model for Hospital Chaplaincy
Authors: Hatgas Jonathan 
Published: September 2021

In The Prophetic Imagination, Walter Brueggemann describes the role of the prophet as one who will “nurture, nourish, and evoke a consciousness and perception alternative to the consciousness and perception to the dominant culture around us.” Engaging in this understanding, I will raise the image of prophet as a model for hospital chaplains. Because of the complex reality of hospital chaplaincy, I will focus on working with families of patients “actively dying” a foreseeable death.The primary marks of the prophet are to be a disruptive force, to guide people toward a communal identity, to act as mediators between God and the people, and to orient the community toward the promised land or renewed covenant with God. Moses exemplifies these characteristics and concretizes them in the Exodus story, providing chaplains with an exemplar to aspire to. The Exodus story also offers a resonant narrative for families with elderly members in the hospital. There are many possible emotional connection points throughout. Families, like the Israelites, are groups of people held together by common ancestors and a common history. Both groups had triumphs and struggles. Maybe putting their loved one in the hospital seemed like an escape from the bondage of home care, but now they find themselves in the desert, aimless with faith faltering, and hope of a promise waning. They find themselves wary and doubtful.Prophetic chaplains can challenge the U.S. culture of invincibility and disposability while leading families through “the desert”, giving them a glimpse of the promised land, and ideally opening a space for them to strengthen in a shared identity.

Authors: N’Go Pacôme Kouadio , Tehoua Lazare , Bolou Eric-Kevin Gbouhoury , Touré Aicha Salamentou , Tako Antoine Némé 
Published: September 2021

Aims: Adenia lobata (Jacq.) Engl. (Passifloraceae) is widely used in Ivorian traditional pharmacopeia to heal various chronic diseases, relieve headache and pain of gingiva inflammation, and facilitate labor. Here, we investigated the effects of hydroethanolic extract Adenia lobata (HEAL) on nociceptive pain and subsequent anxiety-like behavior.
Materials and Methods: We used several experimental pain tests as the writhing, formalin and hot plate to evaluate both antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory actions of the extract. Anxiety related to nociception was tested with open field and elevated plus maze tests. Then, mice were sacrificed for assessing some oxidative stress markers.
Results: The extract of 30 mg/kg, p.o. reduced in the similar manner as reference peripheral drug salcylicacetic acid (ASA, 200 mg/kg, i.p.) the number of writhings induced by acid acetic. In both neurogenic and inflammatory phases of formalin test, the extract demonstrated an effective antinociceptive activity than ASA, but comparable to central analgesic tramadol (50 mg/kg, i.p). However, Adenia lobata reduced lesser thermal-induced pain than tramadol in hot plate test, but significantly compared to ASA. Furthermore, HEAL altered anxiety-like behavior in each case of the pain condition studied. Also, the extract showed the highest antioxidant activity by reduction oxide nitric (NO) and malondialdehyde (MDA), and increase non protein thiol (NP-SH) levels.
Conclusion: In conclusion, HEAL possesses antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory actions on peripheral and central mechanisms of pain. The phytochemicals components of the extract as alkaloids and flavonoids suggest to interact with the opioid system and combat the oxidative stress, respectively. Our findings provide scientific basis for the use of Adenia lobata in traditional medicine against pain and related diseases.

Authors: Radwan Nesma F. , Khyat Ahmed M. El , Gergawy Adel E. El , Salem Hesham A. 
Published: September 2021

Background: The effect of endometriomas itself on the ovarian responsiveness that relate to ovarian reserve had been reported with several inconsistent results. In one study evaluated women with unilateral endometriomas, ovaries with disease showed lower response to ovarian stimulation than contralateral healthy ovaries .However, recent study on infertile women with un-operated unilateral small endometriomas did not support difference in ovarian responsiveness. The aim was to evaluate the impact of presence of endometriomas on ovarian reserve as measured by circulating AMH.
Methods: This retrospective study was carried out on 80 female patients in childbearing period attending outpatient clinic and/or inpatient department of obstetrics and gynecology at Tanat University Hospital and the study was conducted directly after approval in the period from Apri, 2019 till April 2020.
Group (A): Study group: 60 female patients aged between 20 to 30 years old
GROUP (B): Control group: 20 age matched female with healthy ovaries.
Results: there is no statistical significant difference between groups as regard Menarche (years), Regularity and Amount of menstrual blood flow. There is statistical significant difference between groups as regard fixed tender Right Ventricular Failure. But there are no statistical significant differences between groups as regard nodule in rectovaginal septum, fixed tender adnexal masses, association with adenomyosis and infertility. There is highly statistical significant difference between case and control groups as regard AMH levels. there are highly statistical significant positive correlation between duration of endometriosis and each of presence of pelvic pain, cyst diameter and Visual Analogue Scale.
Conclusions: Women with endometrioma have significantly lower serum AMH levels and seem to experience a more rapid decline in serum AMH levels than age matched counterparts, suggesting a harmful effect of endometrioma per se on ovarian reserve.
The Effects of Tax Education on Government Revenue Collection: The Case of Small and Medium Enterprises in Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania
Authors: Ndubula Ezra , Matiku Emmanuel 
Published: September 2021

The efficient and effective tax education to SMEs in developing countries like Tanzania is critical to overcome the challenges of tax compliances. Despite the trend of tax reforms in Tanzania since 1998, the effects of tax education on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are still poor and many SMEs still see taxation process and cost as constraints to SMEs’ successes (Adam, 2012; Masanja, 2019).
The study employed deductive approach, exploratory and descriptive survey methodology. The respondents involved 96 SMEs owners of Morogoro Municipality and four (4) TRA Education Department employees. The data collection tools involved the use of purposeful distributed questionnaires and interviews. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze data. The scope was to produce the frequency tables (Kothari, 209; Mbalwowa, 2014).
To determine if the provision of tax education has resulted in tax compliance among SMEs, the results shown that to large extent there were high level of incompliancy on: timeliness for tax payment, voluntary tax payment, use of EFDs, issuance of fiscal receipts and online filing of tax returns. Therefore, the main attributing factors of tax incompliancy have been associated with tax education.
The study recommends: to evaluate the tax education programs on revenue collection, complements information technology to disseminate tax education, carry out relational or causal studies of tax education on tax compliances across different demographic characteristics in Tanzania. More importantly, to promote a shift from the tax being assessed by TRA to self-tax assessment among SMEs through tax education program.

Published: September 2021

Introduction: Relevancies of electrical power system to consumers cannot be overemphasized. This requires healthy operation of such system. 132/33KV network is an important network within the transmission system and its importance calls for effective and efficient operation. However, due to the long distance at which the transmission line span, the nature of the lay (either overhead or underground) and type of cable used, there are series of voltage instability and power loss along the transmission network which are threat both economically and technically to both electricity providers and consumers because of the cost implication of the losses and effect on the stability of the network.
Aims: This research aims is to seek optimal placement of a capacitor bank to proffer solution to both voltage instability and power loss problem by simulating Ondo 132/33KV transmission network using NEPLAN software.
Methodology: The network model was developed using NEPLAN software. The voltage profile and power loss with and without capacitor bank were determined from power load flow solutions using Newton-Raphson method.
Results: Effects of optimal placements of capacitors along the studied transmission line is established.
Conclusion: Proper installation of capacitor bank is also found to enhance performance with an accompanied improvement in voltage profile along the buses.
Eucalyptus Pulp Fibers with In-Situ Precipitated Calcium Carbonate – A 12-Inch Laboratory Paper Machine Study
Authors: Dölle Klaus , Bajrami Bardhyl 
Published: September 2021

Paper manufacturing on a global scale is a highly competitive market which requires to constantly improve the manufacturing process to be competitive. To decrease production cost paper manufactures, add filler material prior to sheet forming to replace costly wood fiber based raw material.
This research project investigates the use of in-situ precipitated calcium carbonate produced in the presence of eucalyptus fiber material at a 41.0% filler level prior to beating. The in-situ filler containing eucalyptus fiber suspension was used on a 12’ (304mm) wide Laboratory Fourdrinier Paper Machine together with non-filler containing eucalyptus fiber material, and a commercial precipitated calcium carbonate filler material.
The manufactured in-situ fiber suspension resulted in a higher ash retention compared to the addition of the powdered commercial PCC filler material. In addition to commercial filler material retention is improved at higher filler addition above 30%.
The increased ash retention is linked to the increased micro fibrillation fiber material of the in-situ filler-fiber suspension forming neckless like particles on the fibers microfibrils.
Mechanical paper properties showed an improvement for in-situ precipitated filler material compared to commercial filler material addition.
Optical properties could be improved in comparison to the eucalyptus fiber without filler addition for in-situ precipitated filler material and a combination of in-situ and commercial filler material.
