Fungal urinary tract infections (UTIs) are commonly caused by species, with albicans historically recognized as the most frequently isolated species. Differentiating between mere colonization and true infection—identifying whether the is a uropathogen or a commensal—is essential for appropriate clinical management. Antifungal sensitivity testing is critical in guiding effective treatment, particularly in the face of increasing resistance. The objective of this study was to analyze the microbial profile of candiduria, distinguish between uropathogenic and commensal isolates, and evaluate their Antifungal sensitivity patterns at a tertiary care hospital in Vadodara, Gujarat. This retrospective study was conducted over a one-year period, from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022. A total of 9,227 urine samples from patients suspected of having UTIs were analyzed. Isolation and identification of species were performed using established microbiological methods, including culture on selective media and biochemical testing. Antifungal sensitivity testing was conducted following the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines using the broth microdilution method. Patient clinical data were reviewed to differentiate uropathogenic isolates from commensals based on factors such as colony counts, presence of symptoms, and associated risk factors. Out of the 9,227 urine samples analyzed, 2,751 (29.82%) exhibited significant microbial growth, with species isolated in 67 (2.43%) of these cases. Of the 67 isolates, 45 (67.16%) were identified as uropathogens, while 22 (32.84%) were categorized as commensals. albicans was identified in 24 (35.82%) of the isolates, while non-albicans species accounted for 43 (64.18%), including (25.37%), (20.90%), (11.94%), and (5.97%). Antifungal sensitivity testing showed high sensitivity to echinocandins (caspofungin and micafungin), with varying resistance patterns observed for azoles and amphotericin B among different species. The study reveals a predominance of non-albicans species in cases of candiduria and emphasizes the importance of accurate species identification and Antifungal sensitivity testing. Differentiating between uropathogenic and commensal isolates is vital for guiding appropriate treatment. Continuous monitoring is necessary to detect emerging resistance trends and to inform treatment strategies.

O adensamento populacional, aliado a carência de serviços básicos de saneamento, contribui significantemente para o aumento de resíduos plásticos no ambiente e, consequentemente na produção de microplásticos. Devido aos potenciais efeitos sobre os ecossistemas, essas micropartículas têm sido alvo de investigações, entretanto, conhecer as fontes e abundância dessas partículas é ponto crucial para compreensão dos riscos ambientais. Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar a abundância de microplásticos, na água, do córrego da Manga, em Várzea Grande -MT. Para tal, foram coletados, em 3 pontos amostrais (P1 a P3), no período de estiagem, 3 litros de água. As amostras foram peneiradas em peneiras, com granulometria de 150 µm e 65 µm e, o material retido, na peneira de menor granulometria foi adicionado em solução de peróxido de hidrogênio (25%) por 7 dias e em seguida submetido, a separação por densidade. Os microplásticos foram quantificados, quanto ao morfotipo e cor. Os resultados revelaram que em média foram encontrados no P1, 41,66 fibras.L-1, 12 filamentos.L-1 e 4,33 filmes.L-1, enquanto que no P2, 56 fibras.L-1, 5 filamentos.L-1 e 1 filme.L-1 e no P3, 38,33 fibras.L-1, 17 filamentos.L-1, 4 fragmentos.L-1 e 0,66 filmes.L-1. As fibras incolores foram encontradas em maior quantidade em todas as amostras, totalizando 31 microfibras.L-1 no ponto P1, 39,66 microfibras.L-1 no P2 e 28,33 microfibras.L-1 no P3. A abundância de microplásticos revela a necessidade do desenvolvimento de estratégias de conscientização mais eficazes, no que tange ao descarte e gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos, bem como a necessidade de aprimoramento no tratamento de efluentes domésticos e industriais.
Funcionalismo e consciência: situação do design industrial
Authors: Choay Françoise , Gollino Julia Santos 
Published: September 2024

O artigo intitulado “Funcionalismo e consciência: situação do design industrial” [Fonctionnalisme et conscience: situation de l’industrial design], foi escrito pela filósofa e historiadora francesa Françoise Choay (1925-) e publicado no ano de 1964, na revista francesa de filosofia Revue d'Esthétique, cujo caráter científico e técnico fomentava publicações em todo o mundo, aludindo à necessidade do debate em diferentes frentes. De teor crítico e ainda inédito em português, este artigo integra um conjunto de contribuições feitas pela autora no referido periódico, revelando-se pertinente como texto-fonte para a presente tradução à medida que reconstrói o itinerário intelectual da autora. Neste artigo, Choay expõe as implicações advindas do design industrial, analisando criticamente as reverberações do processo de industrialização moderno no campo da arte e da arquitetura. Contudo, para além do propósito de construir um itinerário da estética industrial, a autora se volta para aspectos de ordem existencial e discursiva, revelando a intenção de reclamar um sentido para as noções de pré-fabricação. Dessa maneira, a partir de colocações acerca da padronização, correlatas ao design industrial e nomeadamente encontradas no texto, como “standard”, a autora problematiza os resultados de implementações de moldes, referindo-se ao risco de atuarem como fatores de homogeneização cultural. Posicionamentos semelhantes aparecem em dois outros artigos, publicados na revista francesa em questão, “L’industrialisation et le bâtiment” (CHOAY, 1962) e “L’exposition du Bauhaus” (CHOAY, 1969), os quais se localizam na trajetória de Choay enquanto desdobramento de sua crítica à tensão estabelecida entre a busca por princípios universalizantes e o reconhecimento das especificidades culturais e ambientais. Ambos os textos demonstram o estudo das expressões humanas — arte, arquitetura e cidade — a partir do binômio semiologia-antropologia, contribuindo com o esclarecimento do contexto no qual e para o qual o presente artigo foi produzido, e consequentemente, constituindo um corpus de referência para esse projeto de tradução.

Hegemony, Power Structure and Tribal Resistance: A Subaltern Geopolitics View on Mahasweta Devi’s Chotti Munda and His Arrow (2018)
Authors: Vincent John , Devi Meenakshi K  
Published: September 2024

Subaltern studies address postcolonial notions, binary oppositions, and power structures, enabling us to perceive history from an oppressed perspective. Similarly, subaltern geopolitics challenges the traditional narratives that often present the interest of the dominant community and omit the marginalised history. It provides perspectives of the dominant group with geographical imaginaries. This article aims to trace hegemony and power structures with geographical imaginaries through the theoretical framework of subaltern geopolitics in Mahaswetha Devi’s Chotti Munda and his Arrow (2018), translated by Gayatri Chakravarti Spivak. Munda tribes are connected to the land, and the acquisition of land played a pivotal role in the domination and subjugation of the natives. With the subaltern geopolitics, the process of imperialism against the Tribal community during and after the colonisation is studied. Through the lens of hegemony, the cultural exploitation of tribal communities is analysed. It also focuses on the power structure in terms of political and economic structures and elucidates the resistance of the Munda tribal community. The paper identifies three hegemonic power structures that existed during the colonial period, after the colonial period, and in the contemporary period. The article investigates the power structures imposed on Munda tribes through the ownership of the lands and the tribes’ resistance, irrespective of government. The paper brings out the significance of resistance and the importance of land in the lives of tribal people. It concludes that resistance against the authorities is the only means of their survival.
