Published: December 2021

Introduction: To investigate the effectiveness of the case management mode on the application of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
Methodology: This was a randomized control trial. A total of 70 newly diagnosed smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients were recruited and been randomly divided into experimental group and control group, with 35 participants in each group. In the experimental group, patients received the tuberculosis case management mode based on the conventional management mode. In the control group, patients received the routine management mode. We compared the knowledge, attitude, and practice score; sputum-negative conversion rate, effective imaging rate of the two groups at the time of initial admission, discharge, and one month after discharge.
Results: The results showed that there was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups (p > 0.05); at the time of discharge and one month after discharge, the knowledge, belief, behavior, sputum-negative conversion rate, and imaging examination effective rate of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: The case management mode can improve the knowledge, attitude, and practice level; sputum-negative conversion rate; and imaging efficiency of newly treated smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients.

Introduction: To analyze the virus spread among Sassari Hospital staff in the first Covid-19 wave and the impact of the Swab Team, a multidisciplinary task force entitled of nasopharyngeal swab collection and testing.
Methodology: Nasopharyngeal swabs from HCWs between March 6 and May 28 2020 are evaluated.
Results: 4919 SARS-CoV-2 tests were performed on 3521 operators. Nurses and doctors are the categories at highest risk. After the Swab Team institution, the average number of swabs raised from 47/day to 86/day (p = 0.007). Positive samples decreased from 18.6% to 1.7% (p < 0.0001).
Conclusions: The Swab Team is effective in increasing the cases tested and in reducing the reporting time. Procedure standardization reduces the risk for all the subjects involved (no transmission among swab team members, nor during the sample collection).
UCEasy: A software package for automating and simplifying the analysis of ultraconserved elements (UCEs)
Authors: Ribeiro Caio , Oliveira Lucas , Batista Romina , De Sousa Marcos 
Published: December 2021

The use of Ultraconserved Elements (UCEs) as genetic markers in phylogenomics has become popular and has provided promising results. Although UCE data can be easily obtained from targeted enriched sequencing, the protocol for in silico analysis of UCEs consist of the execution of heterogeneous and complex tools, a challenge for scientists without training in bioinformatics. Developing tools with the adoption of best practices in research software can lessen this problem by improving the execution of computational experiments, thus promoting better reproducibility.
We present UCEasy, an easy-to-install and easy-to-use software package with a simple command line interface that facilitates the computational analysis of UCEs from sequencing samples, following the best practices of research software. UCEasy is a wrapper that standardises, automates and simplifies the quality control of raw reads, assembly and extraction and alignment of UCEs, generating at the end a data matrix with different levels of completeness that can be used to infer phylogenetic trees. We demonstrate the functionalities of UCEasy by reproducing the published results of phylogenomic studies of the bird genus Turdus (Aves) and of Adephaga families (Coleoptera) containing genomic datasets to efficiently extract UCEs.

Authors: Sezer Yamanel Rabia Gönül , Kumru Pınar , Kayataş Eser Semra , Celayir Ayşenur 
Published: December 2021

Background: Many physicians in Turkey are both clinicians and researchers, and publishing their research contributes to better patient care as well as to career advancement.
Objective: To identify the barriers faced by Turkish physicians to writing research papers and getting them published.
Methods: Respondents were asked, through eight multiple-choice questions, about the difficulties they faced in writing research papers and in getting them published in journals. We also searched published literature for accounts of similar difficulties and answers to the question &lsquo;What is your purpose in writing scientific publications?&rsquo;
Results: A total of 18% (155 of 871) of physicians completed the questionnaire. About the difficulties faced in writing, 82 out of the 155 participants, or 57%, reported problems in finding financial support; 58 (40%), in obtaining required permissions and clearances; 65 (45%), in acquiring relevant skills, especially those related to data analysis or statistics; and 42 (29%), in language-related skills. About the difficulties in getting their papers published in journals, 85 (60%) said that they tried to overcome the difficulties by searching for appropriate solutions on the internet; 66 (47%) sought help from experienced colleagues; and 47 (33%) needed professional help in English translation and editing. Need for financial support was reported by a significantly (p = 0.04) larger proportion of associate professors or full professors (69%) than that of residents (47%) and fellows (45%).
Conclusion: The main problems that Turkish physicians face in preparing scientific manuscripts were lack of&nbsp; financial&nbsp; support, inadequate knowledge of data analysis and statistics, and the paperwork involved in obtaining required approvals and permissions&mdash;problems that were common to the departments of internal medicine and of surgery. The primary motivation for writing and publishing was career advancement, especially through promotion to a higher academic rank.
On pull-backs of the universal connection
Authors: Tapp Kristopher 
Published: December 2021

AbstractNarasihman and Ramanan proved in [Amer. J. Math. 83(1961), 563–572] that an arbitrary connection in a vector bundle over a base space B can be obtained as the pull-back (via a correctly chosen classifying map from B into the appropriate Grassmannian) of the universal connection in the universal bundle over the Grassmannian. The purpose of this paper is to relate geometric properties of the classifying map to geometric properties of the pulled-back connection. More specifically, we describe conditions on the classifying map under which the pulled-back connection: (1) is fat (in the sphere bundle), (2) has a parallel curvature tensor, and (3) induces a connection metric with nonnegative sectional curvature on the vector bundle (or positive sectional curvature on the sphere bundle).

Published: December 2021

The article examines the activities of the Tomsk department of the Society for the Spread of Education among Jews in Russia (SEJ) during the First World War. The aim of the study is to comprehensively consecrate the main vectors of the work of the members of the Tomsk SEJ in the context of the global cataclysm. Based on the involvement of a wide range of sources, the article describes the cultural, educational and charitable areas of the department's work. The organization was financed primarily by private donations received from the representatives of the Jewish communities of Siberia through holding charitable events and returning student loans. As a result of the scientific research, it was concluded that the peak of the activity of the Tomsk department of the SEJ was during the war years. The society had to adapt to the realities of wartime, while at the same time accomplishing the main goal of the organization – spreading education among the Jewish population. For a long time being the only SEJ representative in Siberia, the Tomsk department managed to take an honorable place among the educational organizations of the region. Under the influence of the refugee and social movement, the representatives of other Jewish institutions began to appear in Tomsk, which most often consisted of the same people. However, the Tomsk department of the SEJ has managed to maintain its importance and relevance.

Published: December 2021

Uma das grandes preocupações que circundam o imaginário social encontra-se em um dos extremos da existência humana: a morte. Muitos filósofos, teólogos e literatos tentaram compreendê-la, sob diferentes perspectivas ao longo da história – e ainda hoje o fazem. Esse artigo apresenta o enfoque explorado pela poetiza Adélia Prado, que se apoia no tratado da Escatologia Cristã para alimentar a esperança na ressureição dos mortos e na vida eterna. Os suportes empregados na realização desta pesquisa foram as obras: Bagagem (2006) e Oráculos de Maio (2009), das quais foram selecionados poemas que contemplam a temática em pauta. A análise qualitativa desses textos, embasada na revisão de literatura, permitiu assegurar que, enviesada pela essência do sagrado cristão, a lírica adeliana conduz o leitor à um pensamento transcendente a respeito da morte, dissipando as trevas que recobrem essa aparente realidade derradeira. Essa simbiose entre Literatura e Teologia estimula a articulação entre áreas do conhecimento, necessária para a compreensão dos dilemas que afligem a humanidade, podendo, inclusive, servir de estratégia metodológica para a promoção de debates no componente curricular Ensino Religioso.

Este artigo apresenta a 1ª edição do Concurso Linguagens em Expressão desenvolvido no 2º semestre do ano letivo de 2020 no Colégio de Aplicação da Universidade Federal de Roraima (CAp/UFRR), e teve como tema Pandemias - enfermidades que são amplamente disseminadas. A escolha do tema foi em virtude da situação que estamos vivenciando e que faz com que a humanidade investigue possibilidades para o enfrentamento da própria pandemia e de outras enfermidades que surgiram ou aumentaram durante esse período. Além de aspectos sociais como acesso e direito à educação, saúde, lazer, moradia e renda, a organização política, entre outros, que se evidenciam devido ao adoecimento e mortes em grande quantidade. O objetivo central foi estimular a expressão individual dos estudantes regularmente matriculados no Ensino Fundamental (Anos Iniciais e Finais) e no Ensino Médio do CAp, incentivando-os na estruturação de suas reflexões com e a partir das possibilidades do audiovisual, das artes visuais e da produção textual. A pesquisa teve abordagem qualitativa, caracterizada como descritiva. Nos resultados aponta-se que o colégio precisa viabilizar mais ações transdisciplinares na perspectiva de oportunizar aprendizagens significativas para além dos conteúdos programáticos na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), possibilitando expressões por meio da comunicação e da arte.

LEITURAS (IM) POSSÍVEIS D’O LIVRO DE PRAGA, DE SÉRGIO SANTA’ANNA
Authors: Ourique João Luis Pereira , Alves Mariana Cristina 
Published: December 2021

O presente estudo apresenta duas possibilidades de leitura para a obra O livro de Praga (2011), de Sérgio Sant’Anna. Centradas no percurso da personagem Antônio Fernandes pela cidade de Praga, as aventuras sexuais que permeiam toda a narrativa evidenciam, em grande parte, uma relação com a arte, cujas referências surgem como potencializadoras e, também, como pano de fundo para os encontros carnais e as fantasias eróticas que o protagonista vive e descreve minuciosamente. A primeira leitura está relacionada com a observação da subjetividade do protagonista, representada pela cultura patriarcal enraizada e demonstrada por meio de uma figura masculina dominante em suas paixões, transparecendo a naturalização do machismo e da misoginia ainda presentes na sociedade. Além disso, a análise reflete como essa subjetividade marcada pelo patriarcalismo permite uma reconfiguração do Outro, ao mesmo tempo que questiona os papéis sociais impostos a partir das situações narradas. Em um segundo momento, pode-se observar que a obra representa as mulheres tanto como objetos de prazer quanto como sujeitos dotados de desejos: vazias e plenas, simultaneamente, assim como o protagonista que se esvazia em sua misoginia e se reconstrói a partir dessa condição. Com o intuito de discutir essas possibilidades de leitura que se dissociam e se complementam, o trabalho se ampara em estudos de bases não submetidas aos regimentos patriarcais, como os de Judith Butler e Nelly Richard.

Published: December 2021

Abstract. Using OI6300 airglow images collected over São João do Cariri (7.4∘ S, 36.5∘ W) from 2000 to 2007, the equatorial plasma bubble (EPB) zonal drifts were calculated. A strong day-to-day variability was observed in the EPB zonal drifts, which is directly associated with the very complex dynamics of the nighttime thermosphere–ionosphere system near the Equator. The present work investigated the contribution of the semidiurnal lunar tide M2 for the EPB zonal drifts. The M2 presented an amplitude of 3.1 m s−1 in the EPB zonal drifts, which corresponds to 5.6 % of the average drifts. The results showed that the M2 amplitudes in the EPB zonal drifts were solar cycle and seasonally dependent. The amplitude of the M2 was stronger during the high solar activity, reaching over 10 % of the EPB zonal drift average. Regarding the seasons, during the Southern Hemisphere summer, the M2 amplitude was twice as large (12 %) compared to the equinox ones. The seasonality agrees with other observations of the M2 in the ionospheric parameters such as vertical drifts and electron concentration, for instance. On the other hand, the very large M2 amplitudes found during the high solar activity agree with previous observations of the lunar tide in the ionospheric E region.

Authors: AKSOY Cihan Caner , SARACOGLU İsmail , AFSAR Emrah , TAŞPINAR Betül , TASPİNAR Ferruh 
Published: December 2021

Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis were aimed to determine the efficacy of Nintendo Wii (NW) in patients who have undergone knee surgery.
Methods: In literature search of this systematic review and meta-analysis, Cochrane Database of Systematic Review, MEDLINE (EBSCO), Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), CINAHL (EBSCO), PUBMED, OVID, Science Direct, Scopus, Academic Search Complete, and Google Scholar databases were used. The database search was limited to the period from 2006 until August 2021 so as to capture more recent publications.
Results: The search strategy was applied with the limitation of date and language and this initial electronic search resulted in 203 relevant studies. Of these, 41 full-text articles met the initial criteria and were retrieved for review, with 4 studies meeting the final inclusion criteria. The mean methodological quality of all the studies was determined as 4.25 out of 10 on the PEDro scale. The meta-analysis indicated that NW training in addition to conventional therapy was statistically more effective than only conventional physiotherapy in reducing pain (SMD=-0.746; 95% CI=-1.333, -0.160; p = 0.013) and functionality (SMD=-0.744; 95% CI=0.260, 1.228; p = 0.003).
Discussion: NW training can be a promising tool on the pain, functionality, balance, co-ordination and proprioception of patients who have undergone knee surgery. There is a need for further studies of high quality to examine the efficacy of NW in rehabilitation.

Efectos de la corrupción sobre el crecimiento económico. Un análisis empírico internacional
Authors: Palacios Luna Juan Manuel 
Published: December 2021

Este artículo, resultado de una investigación que estimó el efecto cuantitativo que genera la corrupción sobre el crecimiento económico, se trabajó con un modelo de datos de panel para una muestra de 62 países con representación de los cinco continentes. Para la medición de la corrupción, tan diversa a nivel internacional, se usó el Índice de Percepción de la Corrupción (CPI),
que arroja una calificación para cada país de acuerdo con los niveles percibidos por empresas, organismos y académicos de todo el mundo. Los resultados obtenidos concuerdan con estudios anteriores en los que se evidencia que la corrupción actúa como un obstáculo para el aumento de los niveles del PIB, y este comportamiento se acentúa cuando el país pertenece a regiones con dificultades para sostener tasas de crecimiento en el largo plazo.Palabras clave: corrupción, CPI, crecimiento económico, PIB, capital humano.
