Seroepidemiological Survey of Canine Leishmania Infections from Peripheral Areas in Natal, Northeast Brazil
Authors: Barbosa Isabelle Ribeiro , Carlota Francisco Canindé , Andrade-Neto Valter Ferreira de 
Published: April 2019

Background and Objective:
Human visceral leishmaniasis is endemic in Natal, northeast of Brazil, where the
domestic dog is an important parasite reservoir in the infectious cycle of Leishmania spp. In this study, was evaluated the
antileishmanial IgG antibody and epidemiological factors related to canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL).

Methods:
Sera samples obtained by venipuncture of 1,426 dogs living in areas of human visceral leishmaniasis occurrence
were tested for detection of IgG anti-leishmania antibodies with Immunofluorescence Antibody Assay (IFA) and Enzyme
Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Chi-square (x2) and Odds Ratio (OR) were calculated. Differences were
considered statistically significant at p≤0.05.

RESULTS:
The overall seroprevalence was 10.30% (147/1,426); prevalence increased when the samples were found to be
positive at least for one technique ([417/1,426] 29.3%). The high percentage of seroprevalence was observed in Nova
República (15.35%), Nova Natal I (12.7%) and Lagoa Azul (11.4%) neighborhoods. In the Planalto, Soledade and Brasil
Novo, the infection rates ranged from 7.5 at 8.06%. (p=0.00051). There was neither statistically significant difference
between leishmanial infection nor clinical signs of disease (p=0.84; OR=1.0 [0.41; 2.3]), sex (p=0.78, OR=0.94 [0.66;
1.28]); and breed (p=0.92; OR=1.0 [0.65; 1.54]) were observed.

Conclusion:
The RESULTS suggest that CVL is widely distributed in Natal, may be increasingly urbanizing and will spread
through neighborhoods but not endemic, resulting in a serious public health problem, emphasizing the need for
epidemiological studies to a greater understanding of the distribution of canine leishmaniasis in these specific areas and
contribute proactively to the public health policies.

Barreras percibidas en el proceso de aprendizaje de habilidades de ayuda interpersonal en enfermería
Authors: Dois C. Angelina , Bravo V. Paulina 
Published: April 2019

Introducción: La relación de ayuda interpersonal es uno de los pilares del cuidado de enfermería, basándose en la comprensión empática y aceptación incondicional del paciente. El desarrollo de habilidades específicas es fundamental para el establecimiento de relaciones de ayuda efectivas. A pesar de esto, los programas de formación de pregrado en enfermería chilenos, carecen de estrategias para potenciar en los estudiantes dichas habilidades.
Objetivo: analizar las barreras percibidas por los docentes y los estudiantes de enfermería para el aprendizaje y enseñanza de habilidades de ayuda en el encuentro clínico. Método: Se realizó un estudio cualitativo descriptivo basado en el análisis de contenido, a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas con docentes de enfermería y grupo focal con estudiantes de una escuela de enfermería chilena.
Resultados: Quince docentes y 8 estudiantes participaron en el estudio. Las barreras percibidas por los docentes para enseñar habilidades de ayuda incluyen la falta de formación propia en la temática y la ausencia curricular de contenidos relacionados con esta materia. Para los estudiantes, la subvaloración de estas habilidades por parte de los docentes y la falta de espacios para ejercitarlas, son las principales dificultades para aprender estas habilidades.
Conclusiones: Futuras investigaciones podrían explorar las características de intervenciones educativas que faciliten la enseñanza y aprendizaje de estas habilidades, considerando la necesidad de formar a los docentes y de relevar en el currículo y evaluaciones de los estudiantes el componente relacional.

Esta investigación presenta un análisis de la aplicación de la política de Desarrollo Alternativo, a partir de la experiencia de las 1262 familias que hicieron parte del proyecto Col/53 o Nuevas Familias Guarda Bosques (NFGB) ejecutado por la Oﬁcina de las Naciones Unidas Contra la Droga y Delito (UNODC) en convenio con la unidad administrativa para la consolidación territorial (UACT) del antiguo Departamento Administrativo para la Prosperidad Social (DPS). Para ello realizamos un recorrido por los diferentes enfoques del desarrollo que han surgido como alternativas al modelo capitalista tradicional, buscando dar un enfoque territorial y de desarrollo rural. De igual forma realizamos un recorrido por los diferentes lineamientos, programas y proyectos que han surgido en el país en el marco de la ejecución de la política de Desarrollo Alternativo, realizando un énfasis en la experiencia en el departamento de Nariño. Todo esto nos sirve de contexto para introducirnos en el análisis que de la política realizan las familias participantes, dicho análisis es orientado hacia cuatro líneas, todas vistas desde la mirada de las familias participantes: primero el conocimiento de los diferentes programas y proyecto ejecutados en el municipio en el marco de la política de Desarrollo Alternativo, segundo las limitantes o aspectos a mejorar, tercero las perspectivas que tienen las familias sobre esta política y sus proyectos, y cuarto la apreciación de las familias sobre el tipo de impacto que generan los proyectos sobre el medio ambiente.
Finalmente a partir de estos resultados el autor presenta la conﬂuencia existente entre los enfoques del desarrollo y lo que ha sido la aplicación de la política de Desarrollo Alternativo en los territorios mediante los proyectos y programas, y terminamos con una mirada sobre los aspectos fundamentales a tener en cuenta en la implementación de los mismos, vale la pena aclarar que la presente investigación no tiene como propósito plasmar la última mirada sobre la política de Desarrollo Alternativo, sino más bien presentar elementos que permitan enriquecer el análisis de los logros y desafíos que tiene la política de Desarrollo Alternativo en marco del posconﬂicto.

Applying Target Costing to the Service Sector: Sunline Auto Insurance Case
Authors: Wakefield James , Thambar Paul 
Published: April 2019

ABSTRACT
The application of target costing in a service firm is rarely taught in managerial accounting courses, in contrast to the focus on manufacturing-related cost topics (e.g., Everaert and Swenson 2014). Educating future managers in the use of service-sector target costing is important because it provides knowledge on how profitability can be improved through a considered approach to cost management. The case study objectives are to improve students' ability to analyze and explain important areas of cost, assess and apply target costing, and strategically consider costs. Our testing indicates support for case efficacy in the context of these objectives. The case uses an auto insurance firm to illustrate how target costing can be applied in the service sector. Students are provided with information on cost data and the target-costing technique, allowing them to assess costs, apply the target-costing techniques, and develop strategic cost management focus and recommendations.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Background: This study was conducted to evaluate left ventricular dysfunction in diabetics and to find correlation with glycemic control and biochemical parameters compared to non-diabetic population. Methods: Thirty type 2 diabetics and thirty nondiabetic controls were recruited. Age, sex, body mass index of the controls were matched. Results: Mean duration of diabetes mellitus in study population was 10.97± 4.01years. Among study population both cases and controls had ejection fraction >55%( no systolic dysfunction). Among cases(n=16) 53.3% were having mean E/A ratio <1 and(n=14) 46.67% were had mean E/A ratio >1. In controls all of them had mean E/A ratio above 1. This difference of mean E/A ratio among cases and controls was statistically significant (p<0.001). Among patients with diabetes, 9.09% cases with a HbA1cbetween 6-7%, 33.33% between 7.1-8%, respectively 100% of cases with HbA1c>8.1% had diastolic dysfunction the differences between groups being statistically significant (p<0.001). Low density lipoprotein( LDL) was weakly and negative correlated with E/A ratio (r = - 0.38) while fasting blood sugar (r = -0.53) respectively Hemoglobin A1c (r = -0.66) were moderately and negatively correlated. All these correlations were statistically significant. Conclusion: Subclinical diastolic dysfunction is prevalent among diabetic population. Diastolic dysfunction in patients with diabetes was correlated with FBS, HbA1C and LDL.

Published: April 2019

Abstract

Introduction: The Metabolic Syndrome is considered at present as one of the most important causes of mortality and morbidity at world level. Even if the uric acid is not part of any definition of the Metabolic Syndrome, the actual studies have shown strong associations between uric acid concentration and the Metabolic Syndrome or its components, the role of Uric Acid within the Metabolic Syndrome (MS) being increasingly investigated.

Aims: We have analyzed recently published data that show the importance of hyperuricemia in MS, Cardiovascular Diseases, Chronic Kidney Disease.

Conclusions: Uric Acid (UA) is a central player in MS progression and in cardiorenal pathology, which is why a multidisciplinary approach and a correct treatment are required, in order to obtain multiple benefits and, possibly, in the future, new therapeutic guidelines in approaching MS.

Published: April 2019

Pretende-se abordar a problemática da filosofia como prática formativa, tendo como paradigma a experiência estética enquanto via para uma formação ética que inclua as dimensões emocional, afetiva e criativa do ser humano (e não apenas a formação intelectual ou técnico-profissional), retomando assim as tradições filosóficas formativas da Paideia antiga, assim como as da autonomia e da Bildung modernas.
POR QUE OCUPAR? RESISTÊNCIA, CONTRACONDUTA E PROTAGONISMO ESTUDANTIL
Authors: Ferraro José Luís Schifino 
Published: April 2019

O presente ensaio tem como objetivo discutir o movimento de ocupações de escolas da rede pública do Brasil ocorridos no final do ano de 2015 e no início do ano de 2016 à luz da filosofia de Michel Foucault. Ao tomar como referências reportagens de jornais que acompanharam o dia a dia das ocupações - para contextualização do cenário - e da obra de Foucault para analisar tais ações protagonizadas pelos estudantes, pretendeu-se identificar elementos apontados pelo filósofo francês como importantes para o debate em torno da temática da governamentalidade. Resistência e contraconduta são dois conceitos que serão observados e discutidos ao longo desse trabalho em uma tentativa de legitimar o direito que alunos e professores têm em reivindicar uma educação pública de qualidade.

La “contradicción fundamental” en el movimiento critical legal studies
Authors: Flórez Sandoval Leidy Lizeth 
Published: April 2019

Como heredero del realismo jurídico estadounidense de principios del siglo XX, el movimiento Critical Legal Studies –en adelante CLSenarbola la bandera de la indeterminación del Derecho. Sin embargo, va más allá de la tesis realista y sostiene que tal no obedece a un mero problema lingüístico o formal sino a una verdadera manifestación de una “contradicción” o una serie de contradicciones sustantivas que subyacen al liberalismo, entendido como tradición ideológica, económica y política sobre la que se ha construido el modo de vida estadounidense.
El objeto de este trabajo es describir en qué consiste esta “contradicción” desde la perspectiva de los miembros de CLS, así como de los autores que, tanto en Europa como en América Latina, la han analizado –si así ha sido- . Para lograrlo será menester previamente: i) trazar un esquema general que permita comprender, a grandes rasgos, lo que CLS es y defende; ii) abordar los trabajos “paradigmáticos” al interior del movimiento CLS sobre la contradicción, particularmente los producidos por Duncan Kennedy; iii) revisar si en la literatura europea y latinoamericana esta idea ha tenido repercusión y, de ser así, cómo se ha efectuado su análisis.

Authors: Oli Natalia , Vaidya Abhinav , Eiben Gabriele , Krettek Alexandra 
Published: April 2019

Background: Unhealthy diet and physical inactivity contribute to the growing burden of cardiovascular diseases in Nepal. Lifestyle is formed in childhood and in the Nepalese context influenced mainly by mothers, it is to date unknown how influential mothers are.
Objectives: To assess changes in children’s diet and physical activity as perceived by their mothers after a health promotion intervention.
Methodology: The Heart-Health Associated Research, Dissemination and Intervention in the Community is a community trial conducted in the Jhaukhel-Duwakot Health Demographic Surveillance site, in Bhaktapur district of Nepal. We conducted a health promotion intervention on diet and physical activity targeted at mothers with children aged one to nine years old in August-November 2016. Duwakot was randomized as the intervention site and Jhaukhel as the control. We conducted a follow-up study after three months to determine the outcome of the intervention. Nine trained enumerators conducted door-to-door visits to all households with eligible mothers. We calculated mean, frequency and
percent changes for children’s behavior.
Results: As responded by mothers, children in Duwakot consumed more healthy snacks after the intervention compared to Jhaukhel. Children in Duwakot increased consumption of water and milk. Children’s consumption of packet juices and soft drinks was decreased by 30% and 4% respectively. There was 21% increment in the duration of outdoor playing among the children at Duwakot during follow-up.
Conclusion: The Heart-Health Associated Research, Dissemination and Intervention in the Community that focused on mothers showed indirect positive impact on their young children’s diet and physical activity behavior. In future, the longterm effects of such intervention should be assessed.
