Apresentação - Os esquecidos e os negligenciados nas literaturas das Américas
Authors: Benatti Andre Rezende 
Published: April 2024

Esta proposta de dossiê parte das reflexões e pesquisas desenvolvidas no GT Relações Literárias Interamericanas da ANPOLL e tem como objetivo refletir sobre às várias formas de exclusão e sobre os sujeitos excluídos representados, ou como afirma Barthes em Aula (2013, p. 23), demonstrados na Literatura, assim como a ascensão, na contemporaneidade, da voz dos excluídos, dos marginalizados na Literatura como criadores da arte literária. No ensaio "A escrita e os excluídos", presente em Literatura e Resistência (2002), Alfredo Bosi propõe que para compreendermos as relações estabelecidas entre a Literatura e os sujeitos excluídos ou que estão à margem da sociedade, os negligenciados precisamos percebê-los a partir de dois prismas distintos, porém relacionados. Primeiramente Bosi se refere aos historiadores da literatura que percebem os excluídos, os marginalizados ou negligenciados como objeto da escrita literária. São estes sujeitos, suas vivências e experiências empíricas que darão base para que os escritores construam suas personagens, seus enredos, as temáticas escolhidas por estes, dando a estes sujeitos, que por determinados motivos estão ou foram excluídos, marginalizados ou negligenciados pela sociedade como um todo, o protagonismo dos textos literários. Já a segunda relação apontada por Bosi entre o sujeito excluído e a escrita literária aponta para o homem sem letras, o ensaísta versa sobre o excluído enquanto sujeito do processo simbólico. Assim, buscamos a atualidade dos debates nas diversas sociedades das Américas passa na problemática da exclusão, da marginalização, da negligencia de determinados sujeitos, seja a problemática qual for, de gênero, racial, política, cultural, social, etc., provocada pelos mais variados fatores e manifestadas das mais variadas formas.
As Escritas de si e Escritas Sobre o Outro
Authors: Correa de Souza Alessandra 
Published: April 2024

Neste trabalho escolhemos discutir as teorias e as práticas das escritas do eu e de gêneros como: autobiografias, autoficções e outros relatos baseados em memórias individuais e coletivas. Geralmente, nós, pesquisadores sentimos dificuldades em relacionar os textos teóricos com as vidas e as obras das autoras e os seus respectivos textos literários, a partir desse lugar de rizomas e rastros resíduos. Como metodologia discursiva, o presente artigo tem como eixo um leque de teóricos que versam sobre as escritas de si. Primeiramente são problematizadas as suas contribuições, autocríticas e até mesmo papéis de raça, gênero e classe frente ao texto Quarto de Despejo de Carolina Maria de Jesus, posteriormente como guisa discursiva entre teoria e prática discorremos na seção Carolina: escritora, personagem de ficção e as diversas possibilidades de leitura - a potência discursiva e o protagonismo de grupos que historicamente foram representados como minorizados na literatura canônica da América Latina.
EFICIÊNCIA DO CONSENTIMENTO FRENTE A (HIPER)VULNERABILIDADE INFORMACIONAL DO TITULAR DE DADOS NO CONTEXTO PROTETIVO DA LGPD

Published: April 2024

O estágio atual, denominado sociedade informacional, consagrado pela democratização tecnológica e o uso sem precedentes dos dados pessoais e para os mais diversos propósitos, ao ponto destes se tornarem verdadeiras commodities. Essa coleta e tratamento dos dados, ao lado das inúmeras vantagens que oferece, também apresenta um lado perverso que deve ser contemplado e regulado pelo ordenamento jurídico, que, muito embora a LGPD buscasse minimizar ao munir os titulares de mecanismos para autorizar e controlar esse fluxo de suas informações pessoais, exigindo destes dentre outras bases, o consentimento livre, informado e inequívoco, a prática vem demonstrando que a (hiper)vulnerabilidade, sobretudo dos consumidores, faz com que este mecanismo para um suposto empoderamento tenha se tornado um verdadeiro “cavalo de tróia”, tendo em vista a falta de ciência quanto aos seus desdobramentos futuros. Perquirir até que ponto o consumidor pode dar um consentimento consciente e válido, tendo em vista o contexto do tratamento de seus dados pessoais é a proposta do presente artigo. Nessa conjuntura, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica de cunho qualitativo buscar-se-á compreender até que ponto o consumidor detém ciência e controle dos tratamentos futuro de seus dados pessoais, livremente disponibilizados para determinada finalidade bem como o empoderamento de fato quanto aos seus desdobramentos e as possibilidades de revogação.

Authors: Bastola Sanjita , Chaudhary Tanuja Kumari , Lawat Isabel 
Published: April 2024

Background: Appropriate feeding practices improve health, reduce disease burden and malnutrition. One-third of cases of malnutrition are caused by inappropriate infant feeding, which is one of the world’s biggest issues. The objective of this study was to find out the infant feeding practices among mothers attending Kanti Children Hospital in Kathmandu.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional research design was used to conduct this study. The study was carried out at Kanti Children’s Hospital, Kathmandu. A non-probability convenience sampling technique was adopted to select 180 respondents. A semi-structured interview schedule was used to collect the data. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) were used to describe the socio-demographic characteristics of mothers and infants. The inferential statistic (chi square test) was used to determine the relationship between infant feeding practice level and selected variables.
Results: The study’s findings revealed that most (91.1%) respondents had good infant feeding practices. More than half (56.9%) of respondents had initiated breastfeeding within one hour of delivery. The most of infants (95.6%) were given colostrum milk. Very few (2.7%) of respondents had given prelacteal feeding to their babies. More than half of respondents (58.9%) had done exclusive breastfeeding, and 54.4% began weaning at six months. Most (75.5%) infants were given dal, rice, or jaulo as their primary food among the complementary foods. Similarly, almost half (42.8%) of babies received their meals at the recommended intervals.
Conclusion: Most of the mothers practiced good infant feeding habit. Only few mothers had tried prelacteal feeding. One-third of the infants were bottle-fed. Nearly half of mothers began complementary feeding before six months. It is therefore advised to continue raising awareness about good feeding practices for infants. Emphasis should be given to educating mothers about complementary feeding practices.

Authors: Official JOWACH 
Published: April 2024

After decades of relentless pursuit, a beacon of hope shines brightly across Africa as the continent commences the widespread rollout of RTS,S, the first-ever licensed vaccine against the deadly malaria parasite. This historic immunization campaign marks a new era in the fight against a disease that claims hundreds of thousands of lives in Africa each year, disproportionately impacting young children under five.
The approval of RTS,S caps over 30 years of tireless research and development, much of it spearheaded by African scientists. While not a silver bullet, experts agree the vaccine will provide meaningful protection when incorporated alongside existing measures like insecticide-treated nets. Its launch represents a major milestone for African nations at the forefront of deploying this innovative tool to combat an ancient foe.
Assessing Impediments to Healthcare Access for Children Under Five in Larkana, Pakistan Using the Three Delays Model
Authors: Khuhro Saqib Nabi , Siddiqui Muhammad Bilal 
Published: April 2024

Abstract:
Background: Despite national improvements, Larkana district in Pakistan suffers from high under-five child mortality. This study employs the Three Delays Model (TDM) to identify impediments to healthcare access for children under five in Larkana, informing interventions to combat preventable deaths.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey (January-April 2021) in Larkana hospitals recruited 390 parents/guardians via simple random sampling. Semi-structured interviews explored sociodemographics, care-seeking behaviors, and barriers across the TDM's three delays: 1) recognizing and acting on illness, 2) reaching care, and 3) receiving adequate care. Data was analyzed in SPSS v22 using frequencies, percentages, and chi-square tests for associations between sociodemographic factors and care-seeking patterns.
Results: 47% of mothers and 29% of fathers lacked formal education. 49.7% of children were born at home. Delay 1 barriers included preference for traditional healers (36%). Delay 2 barriers included lack of transportation (17%) and long travel times (>3 hours for 84%). Delay 3 barriers included high healthcare costs (43% spending >1000 rupees). Illiterate mothers predominantly gave birth at home (44% vs. 13% matriculate mothers, p<0.001) and were less likely to recognize danger signs (61% vs. 89%, p<0.001). Rickshaws were the primary mode of transport (86%).
Discussion: This TDM-based study reveals multiple intertwined barriers hindering child healthcare access in Larkana. Maternal education significantly influences care-seeking behavior and danger sign recognition, highlighting the need for targeted community education programs. High prevalence of home births necessitates interventions promoting institutional deliveries. Lack of transportation and high costs demand affordable options like government-subsidized transport or expanded health insurance coverage.

Published: April 2024

Introduction: Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is an important public health problem that affects both men and women, especially women globally. This study brings to bear, the prevalence and predictors of IPV among women of reproductive age in Plateau state, Nigeria.
Materials and methods: An analysis of secondary data from the 2018 NDHS dataset was done. The survey collected data on a sample of women within the reproductive age group 15-49 years in Plateau State. The data set was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.
Results: A total of 139 responded to the questions on IPV in Plateau state, more of whom are within the age range of 25-39 years (67.6%) and resided in rural areas (77%). The overall prevalence of IPV was 62.6%, that of more severe physical violence was 7.9%, 15.8% for less severe physical violence, emotional violence was 58.3% and 12.2% for sexual violence. Living in rural a rural area (OR=4.28; 95% CI=1.72-10.93), belonging to the middle/rich/richer wealth quintile (OR=0.25; 95% CI=0.11-0.59), and having a partner who has control issues (OR=2.67; 95% CI=1.32-5.38) were significant predictors of IPV. Having a non-professional job also showed higher odds of IPV but it was not statistically significant (OR=1.67; 95% CI=0.56-4.97).
Conclusion: The prevalence of IPV among women in Plateau state was found to be high, with socio-economic status significantly predicting its occurrence. Opportunities for improving the socioeconomic status of women in the state, especially those in rural areas should be encouraged by providing better jobs and creating public awareness that would discourage IPV.
Impact of Specific Leaf Extracts on Soil pH and Beta-Carotene in Amaranthus in Kiambu County, Kenya
Authors: Njeru, N . , Githendu Mukiri Wa , Murungi J. 
Published: April 2024

Amaranthus (Amaranthus spp.) leaves are a good source of nutrients including vitamins antioxidants and dietary minerals including calcium, iron, and potassium. Soil pH is a very important chemical property of the soil, as it dictates the availability of plant nutrients. Acidic soils reduce availability of plant nutrients and hinder growth. This is corrected by adding lime which is expensive, does not add nutrients and requires re-application. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of leaf extracts from selected tree leaves on soil acidity and beta-carotene levels of amaranthus. Plant leaves that were tested were Turril (Vitex keniensis) Mexican sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia) and Indian nettle (Plectranthus barbatus). The experiment setup was in a 2 x 7 factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design(RCBDreplicated three timesThe treatments were; the three leaves extracts, lime, farm yard manure, inorganic fertilizer and control.. Leaves were dried,ground and soaked in distilledwater for sixty days as pH was monitored and the resulting extract was added to soil for amanthus grown with plant extracts. Data on plant height, leaf area, number of leaves, fresh weight and dry weight and levels of beta carotene levels were collected. AOAC method was used for analysis of beta carotene. All data was subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 5% level of significance using SAS and least significant difference (LSD) for means separation. The results showed that leaf extracts significantly reduced soil acidity to above (6) while inorganic fertilizer increased the acidity (pH5.9) to (5.3) on all growing conditions while humus increased acidity during rainy and irrigation conditions. On beta carotene levels, Farmyard Manure had the highest levels(51.1µg) followed by the leaf extracts with extract 3-Plectras barbatus having higher levels. Control had the lowest levels of beta carotene followed by inorganic fertilizer and lime.These results suggest that farmers should be encouraged to grow vegetables using farmyard manure and leaf extracts to increase antioxidant levels and reduce soil acidity.They should also be encouraged to grow more of trees and shrubs studied to increase forest cover.
