Effect of Kangaroo Mother Care plus Touch Therapy versus Kangaroo Mother Care Alone on the Low-Birth-Weight Infant’s Growth and Physiologic Responses: Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Rasalan-Fermin Rocamia F. , Imperial Lourdes , De Ocampo Fay S. 
Published: December 2021

Background. Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) has facilitated infant growth and decreased morbidities and hospital stay. Adding touch therapy (TT) may potentiate the KMC benefits.
Objective. To compare the effectiveness of KMC+TT versus KMC alone in improving anthropometric and physiologic parameters and decreasing morbidities and hospital stay in low birth weight (LBW) infants.
Methods. Stable LBW infants (<2000 g) admitted in the KMC ward were randomized to either intervention (KMC+TT) or control (KMC only) group. The KMC+TT group underwent thrice daily touch therapy sessions until discharge.
Results. A total of 50 infants were included in the study. Baseline characteristics between the two groups were comparable. There was a significant increase in weight gain (grams/kg/day) in the KMC+TT group compared to KMC only. Physiologic parameters like heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature were significantly better in the KMC+TT group. More infants in the KMC only group were transferred to NICU care, while more KMC+TT infants went home against advice. Hospital stay was similar between the two groups.
Conclusion. Touch therapy added to KMC is more effective than KMC alone in improving weight gain and physiologic parameters. It is associated with lower morbidities, although it did not affect the hospital stay.

Background. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening is uncomfortable and even painful in preterm infants.
Objective. To determine the effectiveness of the Reverse-Kangaroo Mother Care (R-KMC) position compared with the conventional position in decreasing adverse physiological events and pain during ROP screening.
Methods. This was a parallel randomized controlled trial with two arms- R-KMC position and conventional position (control). The primary outcomes included increased oxygen saturation, decreased heart and respiratory rates, and decreased pain intensity measured by Prematurity Infant Pain Profile (PIPP).
Results. There were 100 preterm infants recruited. There were no differences in baseline characteristics, mean ROP screening duration, mean physiological parameters after the mydriatic application and during ROP screening between the two. Only the mean respiratory rates were significantly lower among the R-KMC group during the application of mydriatric agent. (50.26 ± 6.18 vs. 51.6 ± 8.35; p=0.0191). Relative risk (RR) in the control group is 37 to 84 versus 40 to 68 in the R-KMC group. The R-KMC group had a significantly lower mean PIPP score (6.5±2.06 vs. 8.8±2.80; p<0.0001) after mydriatic application and during ROP screening (7.6±2.05 vs. 9.8±2.90; p<0.0001) compared with control. No apnea was observed after mydriatic application, but one apneic episode was in control during ROP screening. 26% of the ROP screeners recommended the R-KMC position during ROP screening, while a majority (70%) was neutral.
Conclusion. R-KMC position, a low-cost intervention, significantly reduces pain during ROP screening. It is recommended as a position of choice during ROP screening.
Message of the WHO Representative to the Philippines

Globally, an estimated 2.4 million children died in their first month of life in 2019. This translated to 6,700 newborn deaths every day, and accounted for 47% of all child deaths under the age of 5 years.
The world has made substantial progress in child and newborn survival since 1990. However, 75% of newborn deaths continue to occur in the first week of life and about 1 million newborns die within their first 24 hours of life. In the Philippines, an estimated 63,000 of 1.7 million children born in 2019 died before their fifth birthday, with half occurring among newborns.
Preterm birth, intrapartum-related complications such as birth asphyxia, infections and birth defects, caused most neonatal deaths in 2019.
While child deaths decreased by one-half between 1990 and 2018, newborn mortality declined at half that rate. Along with asphyxia and sepsis, complications of prematurity are the main causes of newborn deaths. Preterm (< 37 weeks gestation) and low birth weight (LBW) (<2500 g) babies have immature immune and organ systems, low fat reserves and reduced muscle mass, placing them at a much higher risk for hypothermia, infection, and death, compared to babies born with normal weight.
Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is a technique of caring for preterm and LBW babies which consists of keeping them in skin-to-skin contact (SSC) on the chest of the mother (or other family members), as early and as long as possible, exclusive breastfeeding, and early discharge from the hospital with close monitoring on an outpatient basis.
KMC has been demonstrated to reduce mortality in small babies by almost half compared to conventional incubator-based neonatal intensive care. Other benefits include prolonged duration of exclusive breastfeeding and better growth rates. Thus, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends KMC for babies less than or equal to 2,000 grams. We also support widespread calls to introduce, accelerate, and sustain quality KMC implementation.
It is with this note that I congratulate the Kangaroo Mother Care Foundation Philippines, and the research authors for all their original scientific papers on KMC. The publication of these studies, present added evidence that KMC is a cost-efficient, readily available, effective strategy for saving the lives of babies born either prematurely, or with low birth weight for age.

Estate landscapes in the Netherlands
Authors: Renes Hans 
Published: December 2021

In the past, country house research was mainly concerned with individual houses and gardens. Yet, as early as the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, so many country houses were being built around the major cities that they came to define the landscape. Genuine estate landscapes took shape along several rivers (Amstel, Vecht), along the inner edge of coastal dunes, and on newly reclaimed land. In the middle of the seventeenth century, the rivers were augmented with a network of barge canals and soon they too were lined by a belt of country houses. The greatest density of country houses was to be found around Amsterdam, but other big cities in the provinces of Holland and Zeeland had their fair share as well. Access was mostly by water, but in some areas, especially in Zeeland, country roads performed this role. The majority of country houses were built on or next to a farm, which generally continued to exist and, in many cases, survived the country house. In a few areas, the evolving density of country houses has been traced in a detailed chronological record. In most cases it reveals progressive growth towards a high point in the first half of the eighteenth century, after which a gradual decline sets in. However, in a number of areas growth was much more rapid, in particular along the River Vecht. Sustained growth was followed by decline. In the final decade of the eighteenth century and the first decade of the nineteenth, large numbers of country houses were demolished and in many instances the land reverted to agriculture production. It appears that the decline set in earlier in Zeeland than in Holland, but regional differences in decline are not yet entirely clear.
The second quarter of the nineteenth century saw the construction of a new generation of country houses, especially in the undulating sandy areas of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and the southern part of the Veluwezoom, where railway lines provided access. The owners of this new crop of country houses laid out their gardens in the English landscape style. They also bought up vast, neighbouring heathlands from local councils or farmers and planted them with trees. As a result, these country houses are quite different in character from those of the earlier period.
In the past the concentrations of country houses dominated the landscape and even today, wherever they have survived to a substantial degree they continue to represent an important landscape quality. As such, protection and management should not be confined to individual country houses but should extend to groups of country houses and their interrelationships (in the form of visual axes, for example). In recent years, a number of provinces have already set a good example by formulating policies for country house biotopes and linear estate landscapes.

Arm function and muscle activity responses after using the Kinesio taping inhibitory technique
Authors: Kós Rodolfo Silva , Janssen Thomas W.J. , Junior Alberto Cliquet 
Published: December 2021

PurposeThis study aims at showing the effects in muscle activity and arm function under the influence of the inhibitory muscle technique of the Kinesio tape method in healthy muscles.MethodsOverall, 20 apparently healthy subjects underwent the procedures 3 times, in 3 different tape conditions: no tape, Kinesio tape, and non-elastic tape. The muscle activity was obtained in millivolts through electromyography on biceps brachii and deltoid during 3 specific tasks, and the arm function was determined in seconds with the Action Research Arm Test, a standardized tool conceived to assess upper extremity function, divided into the subscales of grasp, grip, pinch, and gross movement.ResultsThe electromyography results and most of the Action Research Arm Test dimensions did not show any statistically significant differences in any comparison (<i>p</i> > 0.05) between the tape conditions. However, there could be a tendency to perform movements faster under the influence of the Kinesio tape, as implied in the dimensions of grip (<i>p</i> = 0.01) and total (<i>p</i> = 0.04) of the Action Research Arm Test.ConclusionsThe Kinesio tape inhibitory muscle technique and tape conditions did not evoke significant effects in muscle activity or arm function in apparently healthy muscles.
Saussure frente a seus contemporâneos: uma análise das questões relativas ao sentido nos primeiros capítulos do manuscrito De l’Essence Double du Langage
Authors: Sortica Maurício Marques 
Published: December 2021

Este artigo investiga o lugar dado ao sentido na elaboração teórica saussuriana no final do século XIX. Assim, analisam-se os primeiros capítulos do manuscrito De l’Essence Double du Langage (SAUSSURE, 1891). Outrossim, compara-se a elaboração teórica do genebrino àquelas de seus contemporâneos (WHITNEY, 1875; PAUL, 1886; BRÉAL, 1897). Logo, infere-se que Saussure parecia elaborar um constructo teórico colocando o sentido como centro da análise linguística. Infere-se, também, que o linguista parte do pensamento desenvolvido por seus contemporâneos, mas rompe com tal tradição, pensando o sentido sincronicamente e não dando lugar relevante à mudança temporal deste em sua elaboração teórica.
Brasil imaginado: arquivo, documentos e narrativas no trabalho artístico de Rosângela Rennó
Authors: Cardoso Leite Everton Cardoso 
Published: December 2021

O presente texto apresenta um exercício de imaginar um país, o Brasil. Busca por via do ensaio reencontrar uma narrativa que parte dos trabalhos, arquivos e falas da artista Rosângela Rennó. A narrativa aborda as transformações que ocorreram nesse espaço imaginado após ser invadido, explorado e violado, problematizando também as estratégias de apagamento da memória, nas formas documentação desta história e de seus cidadãos, perpetrado repetidas vezes por governos e suas necropolíticas. Destaca a participação da arte ao reler a história a contrapelo, expondo o valor da memória e do documento nesse processo. Os arquivos, vasculhados para construir este texto, me permitiram traçar um paralelo entre o real e o imaginado, entre o passado e o presente, e também sugerir possíveis caminhos para se continuar a narrativa no futuro.

Mapeamento das inovações tecnológicas em dois laboratórios clínicos no Vale do São Francisco
Authors: Diniz Michely Correia , De Lima Silva Ana Caroline 
Published: December 2021

Os laboratórios de análises clínicas prestam serviços fundamentais para saúde, pois através da realização de exames laboratoriais são obtidos diagnósticos que constatam doenças e as condições de saúde do paciente. Esses serviços variam desde a coleta de diferentes amostras biológicas à análise propriamente dita e emissão dos laudos. Muitos laboratórios limitam sua oferta de serviços por vários fatores como a falta de equipamentos modernos, análises detalhadas, profissionais especializados. Para mudar isso, é preciso que a inovação laboratorial esteja presente, modernizando os métodos desde a recepção do cliente até as análises dos exames e disponibilização dos resultados. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar e analisar as inovações em dois laboratórios de análises clínicas, sendo um público (Petrolina-PE) e um privado (Juazeiro-BA). Para isso foi aplicado um questionário aos gestores de dois laboratórios, contendo 11 dimensões sobre Oferta, Cliente, Relacionamento, Processos, Organização, Cadeia de Fornecimento, Rede, Ambiência Inovadora, Soluções e Agregação de Valor, adaptados do SEBRAE. A pesquisa foi aprovada no Comitê de Ética da UNIVASF, estando registrada sob o número CAAE: 28789519.7.0000.5196. Nos quesitos gerais, ambos os laboratórios foram classificados como pouco inovadores. As dimensões “Oferta”, “Processos” e “Ambiência Inovadora” tiveram maior destaque, pois os dois laboratórios apresentaram maior média nesses quesitos. A partir desse estudo foi possível uma compreensão da situação da inovação nos laboratórios clínicos pesquisados, tendo um panorama de como os laboratórios estão buscando a melhoria de seus serviços. Este foi um dos primeiros estudos nessa temática na região, o que vem a contribuir com a geração de conhecimentos dos serviços prestados por este setor, bem como impulsionar melhorias nas dimensões apontadas com maiores fragilidades.
Effect of two homeopathic remedies at different degrees of dilutions on the wound closure of 3T3 fibroblasts in in vitro scratch assay
Authors: Hostanska Katarina , Rostock Matthias , Baumgartner Stephan , Saller Reinhard 
Published: December 2021

Background: Since ancient times, preparations from traditional medicinal plants e.g. Arnica montana, Calendula officinalis or Hypericum perforatum have been used for different wound healing purposes. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the commercial low dilution homeopathic remedy SimilasanÃƒâ€šÃ‚Â® Arnica plus Spray, a preparation of Arnica montana 4x, Calendula officinalis 4x, Hypericum perforatum 4x and Symphytum officinale 6x (0712-2) and medium diluted SIM WuS (Petroleum 15x, Arnica montana 15x, Calcium fluoratum 12x, Calendula officinalis 12x, Hepar sulfuris 12x and Mercurius solubilis 15x; 1101-4), on the wound healing in cultured NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. Both remedies were from Similasan AG (Jonen, Switzerland) and prepared according the German Homoeopathic Pharmacopoeia (GHP) following descriptions 4a for arnica, 3a for marigold and St. JohnÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s wort, 2a for comfrey, 5a for petroleum, and 6 for calcium fluoride, hepar sulfuris and mercurius solubilis.
Materials and Methods: Cell proliferation, migration and wound closure promoting effect of the preparations (0712-2, 1101- 4) and their succussed solvents (0712-1, 1101-3) were investigated on mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. Cell viability was determined by WST-1 assay, cell growth using BrdU uptake, cell migration by chemotaxis assay and wound closure by CytoSelect ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚Â¢Wound Healing Assay Kit which generated a defined wound area. All assays were performed in three independent controlled experiments. In some experiments diluted unsuccussed alcohol (0712-3) was also investigated.
Results: Preparations (0712-1), (0712-2), (0712-3), (1101-3) and (1101-4) were investigated at decimal dilution steps from 1x to 4x. Cell viabilty was not affected by any of the substances and (0712-1) and (0712-2) showed no stimulating effect on cell proliferation. Preparation (0712-2) exerted a stimulating effect on fibroblast migration (31.7%) vs 15% with succussed solvent (0712-1) at 1:100 dilutions (p0.05). Positive control 2 ng/ml EGF increased migratory activity of cells by 49.8%. Preparation (0712-2) at a dilution of 1:100 promoted in vitro wound closure by 59.5% and differed significantly (p

The character of Ki Ageng Suryomentaram's teachings is considered unique because it is full of local wisdom values. His thinking departs from the results of internalization as well as behavior in Javanese culture which is shown in the taste at the highest level of taste that exists in humans, namely Kawruh Jiwa. He equates the Soul with Rasa, in which all inner movements include feelings, ideas, and desires. In this teaching, to reach the point of Kawruh Jiwa, one must pass the fourth dimension approach with four dimensions; the note taker dimension, the emotional dimension, the kradamangsa identity dimension, and the featureless identity dimension.This study specifically discusses these four dimensions as steps taken to arrive at the point of Raos psychology. Given that raos becomes social integration that can affect the degree or quality of interaction in society. Besides that, it also discusses the differences in the concepts of Ki Ajeng Suryomentaram's teachings with concepts from the West to determine the specification of thinking centered between taste and ratio. West places more emphasis on reason/rationality, while Suryomentaram focuses more on feeling or spirituality.

Karakter ajaran Ki Ageng Suryomentaram dianggap unik karena sarat dengan nilai-nilai kearifan lokal. Pemikirannya berangkat dari hasil internalisasi sekaligus laku dalam budaya jawa yang ditunjukkan dalam rasa pada level tertinggi rasa yang ada dalam diri manusia, yaitu Kawruh Jiwa. Ia menyamakan Jiwa dengan Rasa, yang mana segala gerak dalam batin meliputi perasaan, gagasan, dan keinginan. Dalam ajaran tersebut, untuk mencapai pada titik Kawuruh Jiwa harus melewati pendekatan ukuran keempat dengan empat dimensi; dimensi juru catat, dimensi emosi, dimensi identitas kradamangsa, dan dimensi identitas tanpa ciri.
Kajian ini secara spesifik membahas empat dimensi tersebut sebagai langkah yang ditempuh untuk sampai pada titik psikologi raos. Mengingat bahwa raos menjadi integrasi sosial yang dapat mempenagaruhi derajat atau kualitas interaksi dalam masyarakat. Selain itu juga dibahas tentang perbedaan konsep ajaran Ki Ajeng Suryomentaram dengan konsep dari Barat untuk mengetahui spesifikasi pemikiran yang berpusat antara rasa dan rasio. Barat lebih menekankan pada akal/rasionalitas, sedangkan Suryomentaram lebih kepada rasa atau spiritualitas.
