BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Hospitalization-related nonmedical costs, including lost earnings and expenses such as transportation, meals, and child care, can lead to challenges in prioritizing postdischarge decisions. In this study, we quantify such costs and evaluate their relationship with sociodemographic factors, including family-reported financial and social hardships.METHODS:This was a cross-sectional analysis of data collected during the Hospital-to-Home Outcomes Study, a randomized trial designed to determine the effects of a nurse home visit after standard pediatric discharge. Parents completed an in-person survey during the child’s hospitalization. The survey included sociodemographic characteristics of the parent and child, measures of financial and social hardship, household income and also evaluated the family’s total nonmedical cost burden, which was defined as all lost earnings plus expenses. A daily cost burden (DCB) standardized it for a 24-hour period. The daily cost burden as a percentage of daily household income (DCBi) was also calculated.RESULTS:Median total cost burden for the 1372 households was $113, the median DCB was $51, and the median DCBi was 45%. DCB and DCBi varied across many sociodemographic characteristics. In particular, single-parent households (those with less work flexibility and more financial hardships experienced significantly higher DCB and DCBi. Those who reported ≥3 financial hardships lost or spent 6-times more of their daily income on nonmedical costs than those without hardships. Those with ≥1 social hardships lost or spent double their daily income compared with those without social hardships.CONCLUSIONS:Nonmedical costs place burdens on families of children who are hospitalized, disproportionately affecting those with competing socioeconomic challenges.
Down Syndrome and the Risk of Severe RSV Infection: A Meta-analysis
Authors: Beckhaus Andrea A. , Castro-Rodriguez Jose A. 
Published: August 2018

CONTEXT:
Down syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal condition in live-born infants worldwide, and lower respiratory infection caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of hospital admissions.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate RSV-associated morbidity among children with DS compared with a population without DS.

DATA SOURCES:
Four electronic databases were searched.

STUDY SELECTION:
All cohorts or case-control studies of DS with an assessment of RSV infection and the associated morbidity or mortality were included without language restriction.

DATA EXTRACTION:
Two reviewers independently reviewed all studies. The primary outcomes were hospital admission and mortality. Secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay, oxygen requirement, ICU admission, need for respiratory support, and additional medication use.

RESULTS:
Twelve studies (n = 1 149 171) from 10 different countries met the inclusion criteria; 10 studies were cohort studies, 1 study was retrospective, and 1 study had both designs. DS was associated with a higher risk of hospitalization (odds ratio [OR]: 8.69; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 7.33–10.30; I2 = 11%) and mortality (OR: 9.4; 95% CI: 2.26–39.15; I2 = 38%) compared with what was seen in controls. Children with DS had an increased length of hospital stay (mean difference: 4.73 days; 95% CI: 2.12–7.33; I2 = 0%), oxygen requirement (OR: 6.53; 95% CI: 2.22–19.19; I2 = 0%), ICU admission (OR: 2.56; 95% CI: 1.17–5.59; I2 = 0%), need for mechanical ventilation (OR: 2.56; 95% CI: 1.17–5.59; I2 = 0%), and additional medication use (OR: 2.65 [95% CI: 1.38–5.08; I2 = 0%] for systemic corticosteroids and OR: 5.82 [95% CI: 2.66–12.69; I2 = 0%] for antibiotics) than controls.

LIMITATIONS:
DS subgroups with and without other additional risk factors were not reported in all of the included studies.

CONCLUSIONS:
Children with DS had a significantly higher risk of severe RSV infection than children without DS.

AIMS: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the satisfaction scale of patients with the care of the family physician (SatMF17).METHODS: Methodological study, in which users enrolled in Family Health Units and Personalized Health Care Units of the Marão and Douro Norte Health Centers. The criteria for inclusion of the users were: to be a patient enrolled in one of the two referenced units, to be over 18 and under 65 years old, to be able to read and write and to have had, at least, one visit in the last year in one of the two units. The SatMF17 scale consists of 17 items, answered by a Likert scale ranging from 1 (bad) to 5 (excellent), in which the sum ranges from 17 to 85. The data collection was carried out in the period between January and June 2016. The patient who met the inclusion criteria upon arrival at the health unit was invited to participate in the study by the administrative assistant. After a presentation and explanation of the objectives of the study, and signing of the consent term, the questionnaire was offered to the patient, who at the end of self-completion inserted it into an envelope. For statistical analysis, the statistical resources were Cronbach's alpha coefficient, exploratory factorial analysis, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin criteria, Bartlett's sphericity test and Pearson's correlation coefficient.RESULTS: The sample included had 284 patients, of whom 159 (56,0%) were female. The mean age was 41,2 years, ranging from 18 years to 65 years. The exploratory factorial analysis in main components and varimax rotation revealed a factorial solution of two factors with eigenvalues greater than 1, which together explain 72,48% of the total variance of patient satisfaction with the care of the family doctor.CONCLUSIONS: The SatMF17 Scale is reliable and valid and can be used in populations with similar characteristics, constituting an instrument of practical utility to evaluate the satisfaction of patients with the care of the family doctor.

Adsorption Behavior of Methylene Blue Dye Using Carob Powder as Eco-Friendly New Adsorbent For Cleaning Wastewater: Optimization By Response Surface Methodology
Authors: GEZER Bahdişen , ERSOY Yusuf 
Published: August 2018

The use of cheap, efficient and environmentally
friendly adsorbents has served as an alternative source of carob in order to
remove dye-stuffs from waste water. This study has researched the potential use
of carob powder as alternative adsorbent for the removal of methylene blue from
wastewater. Experiment parameters pH, ultrasonic frequency, particle size,
contact time, temperature and initial concentration of dissolved methylene blue
(MB) dye were investigated. Thereafter, Box-Behnken design experiment was
applied the adsorption experiments. The equilibrium time was 267.63min for
methelene blue dye. The results showed that physisorption seemed to play a
major role in the adsorption process.
The adsorption process of methylene blue on carob powder was found to
rate of adsorption decreases with increasing temperature and the process
exothermic. Regression analysis results demonstrated that is good for the
experimental data to the non-linear model with correlation coefﬁcients of (R2)
value of 0.8899 and 0.9830. The maximum adsorption value was determined as
256,4355 mg/g. This result appears to be important when compared with other
studies reported in the literature. According to the results of the study was
observed carob bean can be used as an alternative adsorbent.
Havia um tempo em que era preciso motivar o Compartilhamento do Conhecimento, será agora tempo de proteger?

Qual será o ponto de equilíbrio entre compartilhar e proteger? Este ensaio teórico analisa as motivações para se compartilhar conhecimento e as necessidades de proteção desse conhecimento a partir da análise de 28 artigos publicados no periódico MIS Quarterly desde o ano de 2005. Existiram épocas em que era preciso entender as barreiras e motivações para o compartilhamento do conhecimento para então incentivar o compartilhamento. No entanto, estudos mais recentes mostram preocupações das organizações em proteger o conhecimento, devido ao risco de perdas estratégicas. Com o passar do tempo, fatores como desenvolvimento da tecnologia, disseminação das mídias sociais, entre outros, influenciaram o comportamento de compartilhamento das pessoas. Os resultados apresentados neste estudo sugerem que o compartilhamento do conhecimento e a sua proteção são igualmente críticos e que é preciso haver a gestão efetiva desse conhecimento.

Qur’anic exegesis occupies a central position in the development of the intellectual traditions of Muslims. As a primary source, the Qur’an for centuries have beenexplored and understood using a variety of approaches and methods to satisfy every need of the times. The dominance model of textual interpretation in the tradition of interpretation of the Qur’an throughout the history of Islam, has been moving Abdullah Saeed a Professor of Islamic Studies University of Melbourne, to offer an alternative model of “contextual interpretation” as a model approach in interpreting the Qur’an that more sensitive to context. Because textual interpretation models tend to ignore the socio-historical context period of revelation as well as the context of the interpretation of the period. This paper specifically focused to analyze methodological aspects of thought’s Abdullah Saeed in conducting the contextualize interpretation of the Qur’an. In General, Saeed offers four contextual interpretation of operational steps, that is: 1) identify initial considerations by understanding the interpreter subjectivity, language and construct meaning, and the world of the Qur’an (encounter with the world of the text); 2) start the task of interpretation by means of identifying the meaning of the original text and convinced of the authenticity and reliability of the text (critical analysis of texts independently); 3) identify the meaning of the text by exploring each context (meaning for the first recipient); 4) hooking the interpretation of the text with the current context (process ofcontextualize, meaning for the present).
Menyoal Kembali Teori Evolusi Agama J.G. Frazer dalam Keberagamaan Masyarakat Jawa
Authors: Muqtada Muhammad Rikza 
Published: August 2018

Religion is seen as the result of philosophers’ thinking production which has a tendency to solve the riddle of life and to spread their ideas and their thoughts to others. Frazer is one pushed for discovering when the religion began to exist. The conclusion is that the human belief system, in accordance with a level of reasoning ability, evolves from magical belief, than religous belief, and ends on science. Nevertheless, when it is compared to the religious phenomenon in Indonesia, especially in Java, Frazer’s theory is not entirely true and debatable. The religious system in Java exactly does not have evolution as interpreted in Frazer’s theory. With its elasticity, genuine Javanese belief – dynamism and animism – only underwent assimilation with foreign cultures that came later like Islam and Christian, and including Western culture. In the context of Javanese religiosity, those three beliefs system as intended by Frazer, take place integrally and parallel in modern Javanese culture.

Published: August 2018

The tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading againsts sick people carried out at the East Sera village is different from the other regions. The difference is the aim of the practice which is more specific and focus to cure disease. It indicates that the tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading carried out at the East Sera village has meaning and function specifications which can not be found in other areas. East Sera society interpret Qashidah Burdah tradition as an alternatif treatment media implemented when the other media treatments (medical and shaman) are not able to cure. In addition, the tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading againsts sick person also has several functions; namely socio-economic function (this media treatment is much cheaper than the others); socio-religious function (it can strengthen monotheism, fortitude and resignation to Allah), and socio-cultural function as a medium for preserving helpfulness attitude, familiarity, and social solidarity. The existence of those functions – both latent and manifest – becomes the reason of why the tradition of Qashidah Burdah reading againsts sick people still continues to be preserved by the people of East Sera.

Os Cadernos da Realidade dos alunos da LEDOC/UFES como agenciamentos coletivos de enunciação / The student's notebook on LEDOC/UFED as collective enunciation management
Authors: Silva Sandra Kretli 
Published: August 2018

Este texto objetiva apresentar resultados de uma pesquisa que investiga os “usos” que os professores e os alunos fazem dos cadernos da realidade produzidos pelos alunos do curso de Licenciatura em Educação do Campo da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo. Problematiza o modo como os usos desses cadernos expressam os currículos pensadospraticados. Utiliza, como aporte teórico-metodológico, o pensamento de Michel de Certeau (1994), Deleuze e Parnet (1977), Deleuze e Guattari (2015) e Lazaratto (2006; 2014). Aponta que os alunos fazem usos diversos dos cadernos: favorecer a memória, como indicam os textos que tratam desse instrumento; planejar suas ações; desabafar e fazer o pensamento movimentar, delirar, etc. Já os professores usam os cadernos para avaliar os processos de aprenderensinar e nos movimentos de invenções curriculares, pois acreditam que “uso” é poética, é invenção. Foi evidenciado ainda que os cadernos da realidade são agenciamentos maquínicos de desejo, ou seja, agenciamentos coletivos de enunciação que possibilitam movimentar o pensamento e abrir fissuras paradigmáticas. Afirma, assim, a necessidade de abrir/criar espaçostempos e redes de conversações para que professores e alunos possam dialogar sobre as escrileituras desses cadernos, a fim de ampliar e potencializar os processos inventivos dos currículos pensadospraticados na Educação do Campo.Palavras-chave: Cadernos da Realidade; Pedagogia da Alternância; Currículos pensadospraticados; Educação do Campo. ABSTRACT: This text aims to present results of a research that investigates the uses that teachers and students make of the notebook of reality poduced by the undergraduate students of the field of the Federal University of Espírito Santo. It problematizes the way in which the uses of these notebooks express the thoughtful curricula. It uses as a theoretical-methodological contribution the thought of Michel de Certeau (1994), Deleuze and Parnet (1977), Deleuze and Guattari (2015) and Lazaratto (2006, 2014). He points out that the students make different uses of the notebooks: to favor memory, as indicated in the texts that deal with this instrument; plan your actions; and to make the thinking move, delirious... The teachers use the notebooks to evaluate the learning processes and the movements of curricular inventions, because they believe that "use" is poetic, it is invention. It was also evidenced that the notebook of reality are machinic assemblages of desire, that is, collective assemblages of enunciation that make it possible to move thoughts and open paradigmatic fissures. It thus affirms the need to open /create spaces and networks of conversations so that teachers and students can talk about the writing of these notebooks, in order to broaden and enhance the inventive processes of the curricula considered in countryside education.Keywords: Notebook of reality; Pedagogy of Alternation; Thoughtful curricula; Countryside education.

Published: August 2018

Este texto tem como objetivo apresentar uma discussão acerca da proposta curricular das escolas itinerantes do Paraná e como ela se efetiva (ou não) no Colégio Estadual Maria Aparecida Rosignol Franciosi (localizado no distrito de Lerroville, município de Londrina), mais especificamente, em aulas de matemática. Para isso, contextualizamos historicamente a disputa pela terra no estado e a criação dessas escolas em acampamentos do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST). A proposta curricular dessas escolas baseia-se na obra de Pistrak a respeito da Escola-Comuna da União Soviética e está organizada a partir de complexos de estudo, desenvolvidos com porções da realidade, que articulam diversas disciplinas. Com base na realidade vivenciada na escola – registrada em um diário de pesquisa e em gravações de áudio de aulas de matemática – e no complexo de estudo referente à porção da realidade “Produção de Alimentos”, descrito no documento que norteia as práticas pedagógicas dessas escolas, apresentamos algumas ideias para o trabalho em aulas de matemática, abordando as produções dos familiares e discutindo a produção agroecológica e o uso de agrotóxicos.Palavras-chave: Educação Matemática; Educação do Campo; Complexos de estudo; Escolas itinerantes. ABSTRACT: This paper aims to present a discussion about the curricular proposal of the itinerant schools of Paraná and how it is effective (or not) in the State College Maria Aparecida Rosignol Franciosi (it is in Lerroville district in the city of Londrina), more specifically, in mathematics classes. For this, we contextualize historically the dispute for the land in the state of Paraná and the creation of these schools. The curriculum proposal for these schools is based on Pistrak's work on the Soviet Union School-Commune. Based on the reality experienced at school – recorded in a research diary and audio recordings of math classes – and on the complex theme related to the portion of reality "Food Production" described in the document that guides the pedagogical practices of these schools, we present some ideas for the work in mathematics classes, approaching the family members' productions and discussing the agroecological production and the use of pesticides.Keywords: Mathematics Education; Rural Education; Complex method; Itinerant schools.
