A Descriptive Case-Control Study on Assessment of Iron Profile in Patients with and Without Melasma
Authors: Prakash Megha , Manjunath Namrata C , Deepali BS 
Published: May 2023

Background:
Melasma or chloasma is a common acquired hyper melanosis, characterized by dark, irregular hyperpigmented macules and patches over the malar areas, lips, nose and forehead. Iron overload manifests with skin hyperpigmentation. Therefore, it is important to understand the role of iron in patients with melasma.

Objectives:
(1) To assess serum iron profile in non-pregnant women and men with melasma. (2) To assess the same parameters in age and sex matched controls.

Materials and Methods:
A descriptive case–control study with 35 cases of melasma and 35 age and sex-matched controls was conducted between December 2019 and March 2020, to assess the association between melasma and iron deficiency.

Results:
Among 35 cases of melasma, 85.7% were females, the most common type was the malar type 68.8%, sunlight was the most-common risk factor and 100% had deranged iron profile. Mean ferritin levels in the melasma group was 15.204 ng/ml while in control group it was 71.717 ng/ml. Mean serum iron levels in melasma group was 28.585 μg/dl while in that of controls were 135.018 μg/dl. Other iron parameters also showed significant iron deficiency in melasma patients.

Conclusion:
Well-known factors implicated in the etiology of melasma include sunlight, Oral contraceptive pills with oestrogen, pregnancy and smoking. This study indicates that iron deficiency is also an important etiological factor and hence treatment of iron deficiency may be a novel therapeutic approach in patients with refractory melasma.

Perkembangan kepariwisataan Nusa Tenggara Barat yang semakin membaik diharapkan mampu memperbaiki kehidupan masyarakat secara ekonomis, mengingan pariwisata sebagai industri yang berdampak luas terhadap aktivitas kehidupan manusia. Alam NTB yang masih asri dan dengan keragaman pemandangannya selama ini menjadi daya tarik utama, namun daya tarik itu tentu tak sepenuhnya dapat diandalkan mengingat ketergantungan manusia terhadap alam sangat kuat sehingga eksploitasi alam akan menggerus keindahannya. Karena itu suatu saat nanti alam tak lagi menjadi jualan yang menarik untuk kita tawarkan kepada wisatawan sebagai daya tarik. Pemerintah secara serius hendaknya mulai mengalihkan perhatian pada wisata budaya yang potensinya di daerah ini tidak kalah menariknya. Wisata budaya belum tergarap dan terencana dengan baik, selama ini pariwisata budaya dalam persimpangan jalan karena rendahnya perhatian dan adanya dualisme dalam masyarakat terhadap produk budaya (kesenian) yang dianggap menyimpang dari pandangan mereka (sinkretisme dan puritan). Pemerintah NTB harus merencanakannya dengan matang yakni dengan payung aturan yang jelas melalui Perda Pariwisata Budaya agar dapat menjamin pariwisata budaya berkelanjutan.

Purpose: This study was conduct with an objective to compare between the knowledge and attitude of private and public universities’ dental students regarding HIV, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Methodology: An online questionnaire was used to collect the data from dental students of public and private universities. Questionnaire was pre-coded and included closed ended questions. Data was analyzed by IBS SPSS version 21. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages were computed to describe the demographic information about dental students such as academic level, gender, university and age.
Results: most of the students (90.0 %) were aware that “HIV/AIDS can be transmitted to dental workers” and majority of the students (85.5 %) knew that “HIV/AIDS can be diagnosed with oral manifestations”. Similarly most of the students (87.1 %) knew that “HIV can be transmitted through Needle injury” and (84.7 %) students aware that “The dentist must provide dental treatment for HIV-positive”. It was noted that (81.7 %) and (85.3 %) of the students knew that “Hepatitis more transmissible than HIV/AIDS” and “Medical staff is more susceptible to HIV transmission”, respectively. More than half of the students (66.7 %) and (76.1 %) responded that “You will perform CPR if HIV/AIDS patients need it” and “Patients with HIV/AIDS can live in the same place with others”, respectively. In general, knowledge and attitude towards HIV/AIDS of dental student was examined. It was concluded that students have good knowledge about HIV/AIDS but there attitudes towards HIV/AIDS was not good. Therefore, more efforts are required to improve the attitudes of future dentists.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The results of this study show the importance and necessity of medical courses that deal with the subject of HIV/AIDS, focusing not just on furthering HIV knowledge but also on dealing with stigma, anxiety and misperceptions about HIV/AIDS and PLWHA. In addition, it is extremely important to conduct these courses before the students start their clinical studies so that correct and sufficient knowledge and attitudes, which are required when dealing with patients, are already well embedded in the students’ minds by that time.

Este estudo avaliou a retenção de conhecimento, em médio prazo, de graduandos expostos a uma atividade educativa de detecção de cárie. Esta é uma parte do estudo multicêntrico IuSTC. Alunos dos últimos anos foram convidados a participar e passaram pela atividade. Foram avaliados quanto à retenção do conhecimento após 1,5 ano. Avaliações teóricas e práticas (pontuadas de 0 a 10) foram preparadas para avaliar conhecimento, habilidades e atitudes. Os escores foram definidos como desfechos. Análises de regressão multinível testaram a associação entre a performance dos alunos e sua percepção sobre a importância da atividade dentro do seu currículo. Particularidades relacionadas à performance em tópicos específicos e diferentes tipos de avaliação também foram explorados. 302 alunos participaram das avaliações. Em média, os alunos tiveram medias (desvio-padrão (DP), de 6,68 (1,88) teórica e 5,5 (2,27) prática. A percepção dos alunos esteve associada com sua performance. Na avaliação teórica, os alunos tiveram pior performance ao relacionar a condição clínica com a histológica (21% de acertos) ou em justificar a conduta frente a lesões inativas (36% de acertos). Na avaliação prática, 70-90% dos alunos demonstraram habilidade de detectar, avaliar atividade e tomar decisões clínicas frente a lesões iniciais e severas, enquanto 50% avaliaram adequadamente as lesões moderadas e apenas 32% demonstrou atitude correta do manejo. Em conclusão, a retenção do conhecimento dos alunos está dentro do esperado em uma análise de médio prazo. Para alguns tópicos (por exemplo, relacionados a prática e justificativa de atitudes), a performance dos alunos tende a ser pior.
Sistematización de las experiencias del estudiantado del TCU-452. Impacto en su vida personal, académica y profesional
Authors: Cambronero Artavia María del Pilar 
Published: May 2023

Desde la Universidad de Costa Rica nos preocupamos por el impacto que nuestros proyectos tienen en las comunidades que intervenimos, pero no siempre en el que tiene en el estudiantado a cargo de llevar a cabo esos proyectos. Nuestro objetivo general es evidenciar de qué manera la experiencia del proyecto TCU-452 ha impactado la vida personal, académica y profesional del estudiantado participante del proyecto entre los años 2019 y 2022. Para ello, exponemos la metodología de trabajo del TCU y relatamos algunas experiencias del estudiantado participante gracias a una colecta de información por medio de cuestionarios respondidos por 42 personas, donde consultamos cuál era su actitud hacia el requisito de 300 horas de TCU para graduarse; en cuáles actividades y con qué frecuencia participó en ellas, cuál actividad disfrutó más y cuál le representó un reto mayor, y si después de realizarlas consideraba que todo estudiante debería vivir esa experiencia; para al final reconocer sus percepciones sobre el impacto de la misma en sus vidas. Utilizamos el enfoque metodológico cualitativo y el modelo o sistema conceptual-inductivo para comprender, en las experiencias de nuestro estudiantado, su realidad social. El resultado es sumamente positivo y el impacto del TCU es evidente.
Lo que enseña un maestro: des/Orientaciones para una pedagogía queer
Authors: Azamar Ricardo 
Published: May 2023

El objetivo de este texto es recuperar, desde la práctica pedagógica en las aulas del Sistema Educativo Mexicano y mediante la articulación de pedagogías queer, el lugar y comprensión del cuerpo del maestro expuesto ante los estudiantes y significado desde la vergüenza consecuencia de la obligada ocultación o negación del mismo y sus deseos en el ejercicio de su práctica que, en lo discursivo y político, están históricamente situados (Harris y Gray , 2014), a través del empleo de una metodología y métodos queer. Para ello se integraron algunas primeras lecturas relativas al tratamiento de temas, en su momento, emergentes, subversivos y provocadores abordados con técnicas “extrañas“ de autores como De Lauretis, Warner, Halperin, Jagose, Britzman, Golding, Pinar y Dilley, que cuestionaban los métodos de investigación tradicionales. Esta revisión permite orientar hacia el centro de la discusión pedagógica la importancia de reconocer al maestro como un sujeto con cuerpo cuya actuación en el aula despliega conocimientos y saberes y deja huellas de su papel social.
As formas de resistência à censura aos livros na atualidade
Authors: Borges da Silveira João Paulo , Silveira Andretta Pedro Ivo 
Published: May 2023

Objetivo: apresentar e refletir sobre os movimentos de censura aos livros nos últimos anos e as ações de resistências, nacionais e internacionais, com vistas a alertar a comunidade bibliotecária não apenas para as ações de censura, mas também de resistência e enfrentamento necessárias, sobretudo nos últimos anos.
Método: Adotou-se um estudo exploratório e de abordagem qualitativa, alicerçado na perspectiva teórico-metodológica de Michel Foucault, observando os enunciados de reportagens com a temática de censura relacionadas aos livros e às bibliotecas. O corpus de análise abrangeu notícias vinculadas na mídia nacional e internacional no período de 2020 a 2022.
Resultado: Com o levantamento, apresentamos os casos de censuras que ocorreram no Kuwait, Estados Unidos e Brasil. Observamos a existência tanto de censura prévia aos livros quanto de ações que envolvem a retirada de obras já disponíveis em bibliotecas, em especial, escolares e públicas, por exigência de parte de suas comunidades. Diante do que compilamos e refletimos, listamos dez formas de resistência à censura aos livros e às demais produções bibliográficas na atualidade.
Conclusões: Apesar de constantes ataques à liberdade de expressão e de pensamento, como ao livro que se deseja ler, diferentes ações de resistência e enfrentamentos podem ser vistas, seja por meio das comunidades locais que se unem para proteger as obras e as bibliotecas, seja de profissionais e organizações ligadas à comunidade bibliotecária que tem sido incansáveis na luta e na preservação de direitos. Ressaltamos a importância da imprensa livre e independente como pilar da democracia e a necessidade de união e fortalecimento dos vínculos entre bibliotecas, suas comunidades e a área da Biblioteconomia para que ações de censura sejam denunciadas e combatidas.
Por um reflexão sobre a organização e representação de conceitos decoloniais na américa latina: O pensamento de Aníbal Quijano à luz da Análise de Domínio
Authors: Albuquerque Ana Cristina de 
Published: May 2023

Objetivo: A interpretação dos aspectos históricos e das estruturas sociais da América Latina, foram a base para o desenvolvimento da proposta epistemológica do sociólogo peruano Aníbal Quijano, a respeito da decolonização das sociedades latinoamericanas. A partir de sua obra, conceitos basilares tomaram forma, para explicar a realidade “parcial e distorcida” de observação deste lugar. Assim, este artigo questiona como se constituem as relações conceituais decoloniais desenvolvidas na obra de Aníbal Quijano? O objetivo é identificar os conceitos desenvolvidos por Quijano à luz da Análise de Domínio, com fins de compreensão de como estes se constituem em uma rede conceitual, que pode ser compreendida como uma interface do conhecimento latino-americano, fazendo parte e sendo representado em Sistemas de Organização do Conhecimento.
Método: A pesquisa é de base bibliográfica, exploratória e tem como abordagem e como método a Análise de Domínio.
Resultado: Os resultados revelam a coerência dos conceitos utilizados, que podem ser norteadores na análise e aplicação teórico-metodológica, em estudos decoloniais que particularizam e enunciam a ausência de reflexões sobre as diferentes vertentes particulares como indígenas, mulheres, pessoas negras, inseridos, de forma geral, na cultura e nos saberes latino-americanos. A rede conceitual se mostrou maior quando a compreensão destes conceitos foi explorada a partir de suas ligações teóricas e epistêmicas.
Conclusões: Os processos da Organização e Representação do Conhecimento permitem o controle da linguagem utilizada nos espaços de informação, e o conhecimento da perspectiva decolonial desenvolvida por Quijano, demonstra uma coerência e estabilidade teórica que faz frente à perpetuação de processos coloniais e epistemicidas das comunidades latino-americanas, sendo assim importantes para a compreensão e caracterização de documentos, que pontuem estes processos no contexto de domínios do conhecimento relativos à perspectiva decolonial.
