Published: February 2023

AbstractImportance: Low social competence is one of the most complex and resistant challenges faced by adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Occupational therapy practitioners have recognized the potential benefits of using the arts, including training in magic tricks, as a therapeutic medium to improve and enhance clients’ psychosocial well-being.Objective: To describe the efficacy of a virtual magic trick training program (MTTP) to enhance social skills and self-esteem in adolescents with ASD.Design: Pragmatic, nonrandomized, wait-list controlled trial with 1-mo follow-up.Setting: Participants’ homes.Participants: Seventeen adolescents (ages 9−15 yr) with ASD participated in the MTTP, 9 in the first cohort and 8 in the second (wait-list control) cohort.Intervention: Participants received magic trick training from occupational therapy students in pairs via videoconferencing in 45-min sessions, 3 days/wk, for 3 wk.Outcomes and Measures: Participants completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Social Skills Improvement System before and after participating in the program.Results: Between-cohort effect sizes (Cohen’s d) were 0.58 for social skills and 0.66 for self-esteem, considered moderate effects. Combining the two cohorts revealed significant improvements in social skills and self-esteem, with gains maintained at 1-mo follow-up.Conclusions and Relevance: The results of this study support our hypothesis that adolescents with ASD who participate in the 3-wk virtual MTTP can experience enhanced social skills and self-esteem.What This Article Adds: Learning magic tricks through individual coaching from occupational therapy students in a virtual environment can enhance the social skills and self-esteem of adolescents with ASD.

Published: February 2023

The present study is an investigation of use of water, water sources, and relationship with location of residents in the South Tongu district, Ghana. The study used quantitative approach and used survey method for data collection. Based on the sampling approach administered in the three communities along the Volta River namely Fievie, Sogakofe and Tordzikpota, The study generated a usable sample of 160 respondents. The reliability of the measure was tested with internal method of Cronbach alpha and we found satisfactory result. the result shows that along the three communities, river water was used as the main source. The key reasons for using the water source included river being the only source and its proximity to the residence. In terms of perception regarding quality of water, the respondents show that the communities we surveyed mostly considered water clean based on its physical appearance and taste. Overall, result shows that in the communities we surveyed, there is a lack of awareness and knowledge regarding the quality of water and its improvement methods thus exposing the community to the water borne diseases.

Aim of the work: To describe clinical and epidemiological profile of patients with difficult intubation in maxillofacial surgery and stomatology.
Methods: This is a descriptive retrospective study over a period of two years (April 2017 to May 2019) at the University Hospital Joseph Dieudonné Rakotovao (CHU - JDR)
Antananarivo. This includes all patients whose intubation lasted more than 10 minutes and / or more than three attempts, or could not be performed.
Results: Twenty-eight (28) patients were collected with difficult intubation rate of 8%. A male predominance was found (sex ratio = 2.25) and the lesions are mainly of tumoral origin (54%), sitting at the level of the mandible (43%) and locating on the right side (54%). The classification of Mallampati and measurement of mouth opening could not be evaluated in 39% and 18% of cases respectively. For the classic criteria that were able to evaluate: the classification of mallampati III and IV = 59%, the mouth opening less than 3.5 cm = 26% and the mento - thyroid distance less than 6cm = 4%.
Conclusion: Although the classical predictive criteria for difficult intubation are reliable, they cannot always be correctly assessed in maxillofacial surgery. And particular features of the lesion have been found in patients who presented with difficult intubation. Hence the interest of carrying out an analytical study in order to elaborate a predictive score based on the classic criteria and the characteristics of the lesion.

Published: February 2023

The prevalence and distribution of fungi involved in otomycosis in children of primary school at Taiz city were studied using two types of isolation media. The obtained results revealed the confirmation of fungal otomycosis in 76. 7 % of suspected patients. Ear infection in relation to age the results showed that the group with age between 10- 15 years were highly infected with fungi and the female patients were more affected than male. Patients with excellent and good healthy state were less infected. Also, the majority of ear infection were found in children of poor occupation and decreased with raising of the family occupation and disappeared in rich families. On the other hands, there are no relationship between ear infection and the level of family education.
Twelve species and one variety belonging to 5 genera were isolated from 60 children patients on Czapeck,s and Sabouraud,s dextrose agar at 28°C. Members of Aspergillus were the most prevalent. From the genus 8 species were identified of which A. niger, A. sydowii and A. versicolor were the most predominant. The second incidence fungi in children ears was represented by Penicillium. The other 3 genera identified, represented each by one species, wereisolated in less frequency of occurrence at least on one isolation medium.
About 17 isolates appertaining to 10 species related to 5 genera were tested for their abilities to produce lipase and protease enzymes on solid medium. The results indicated that 12 isolates could produce the two enzymes.
Isolates related to A. flavus, A. niger, A. sydowii, Penicillium sp. were the most producers for lipase and protease enzymes. Thus, critical diagnosis of the causative agent by employing aseptic and proper culture techniques and susceptibility testing for proper treatment of this disease is the need of the hour.

Authors: Medeiros Alves de Oliveira Carolina Helena , Holanda Nepomuceno Nobre Liana , Chaves Nobre Fábio 
Published: February 2023

Objetivo do Trabalho: Analisar a influência das compras por impulso e do endividamento no nível de estresse financeiro dos alunos do curso de Administração de uma Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte.
Metodologia: Realizou-se um estudo quantitativo do tipo explicativo, com corte temporal transversal. A amostra foi composta de 158 alunos e a coleta foi realizada nas salas de aula da própria universidade. O estresse financeiro foi mensurado a partir da Escala InCharge de Estresse Financeiro/Bem-Estar Financeiro, desenvolvida por Prawitz et al. (2006) e as relações existentes entre os construtos foram analisadas por meio de regressão linear múltipla e análise discriminante.
Originalidade: O estudo contribui para a compreensão dos efeitos das compras por impulso e do endividamento financeiro, como proxies de um mal planejamento financeiro individual, sobre o estresse financeiro.
Principais Resultados: Os resultados revelam que os estudantes apresentam alto nível de estresse financeiro e, coerentemente com a literatura, os achados sugerem que o endividamento pessoal afeta positivamente o estresse financeiro. As compras por impulso, por outro lado, afetam negativamente o estresse financeiro.
Contribuições Teóricas:O estresse financeiro, ao contrário do bem-estar financeiro, é afetado tanto pelas compras por impulso quanto pelo endividamento. A relação entre endividamento e estresse financeiro corroborou com a literatura sobre o tema, porém as compras impulsivas atuam como redutor do estresse financeiro, um efeito redutor do estresse, sugerindo que o efeito psicológico desse hábito supera seu efeito financeiro negativo.
Atributos específicos dos cafés especiais são importantes para quem consome a bebida? Um estudo sobre atenção e atitudes
Authors: Teixeira Lucas de Vasconcelos , Batista Leandro Leonardo , Fouto Nuno Manoel Martins Dias 
Published: February 2023

Objetivo do estudo: Examinar a atenção dos consumidores de café a atributos socioambientais, de denominação de origem e de torra dos cafés de alta qualidade no intuito de verificar a relação entre a atenção visual, avaliação e atitude durante o processo de tomada de decisão.
Metodologias: Além da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, a metodologia de pesquisa é híbrida, contando com experimento controlado utilizando eye-tracking combinado a um questionário (estudo 1); o estudo 2 consiste em survey online submetido a grupos de baristas e de entusiastas dos cafés especiais no Facebook.
Principais resultados: Os consumidores mostraram-se interessados em saber mais sobre as certificações socioambientais e de denominação de origem dos cafés que consomem em comparação com o atributo torra. Os resultados de atenção e de escolha das embalagens em articulação com o obtido no survey validam as proposições 1 e 2 sobre a relevância dos selos socioambientais e de denominação de origem para o consumidor. Por sua vez, a torra do café foi mais relevante para o público conhecedor do que para o leigo, confirmando a proposição 3 de pesquisa.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: Empreender uma pesquisa com diferentes metodologias, experimento em laboratório e um survey online, representa uma oportunidade de abarcar em uma mesma pesquisa diferentes visões (leigos e experts) em relação ao consumo de café. O estudo contribui teoricamente para as pesquisas de atenção visual e atitudes ao incluir o consumo de café nesta seara investigativa.
Relevância/originalidade: A principal contribuição dessa pesquisa versa sobre a efetividade das informações colocadas nos rótulos das embalagens de cafés especiais, o que é de interesse tanto da academia quanto do mercado.
Implicações sociais/gestão: Os rótulos com as informações analisadas dos cafés especiais realizam apropriadamente o papel de primeira ativação, mas precisam estar inseridos em uma campanha de comunicação integrada que alimente a atitude de compra, seja no varejo ou em outros pontos de contato das marcas com seus consumidores.

Published: February 2023

Objetivo: A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar como o setor privado pode gerar solução sustentável para problemas do setor público, como o desordenado comércio informal de rua.
Metodologia: Desenvolvemos uma pesquisa exploratória, por meio de estudo de caso realizado no Centro Fashion Fortaleza, equipamento comercial privado desenvolvido como solução para o desordenado comércio informal de rua no Centro da cidade de Fortaleza, que tantos problemas trouxe para a gestão pública. Para tal, utilizamos dados primários e secundários. Os dados secundários foram coletados em pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e em registros na internet, e os dados primários por meio de observação in loco e entrevistas pessoais, em profundidade, realizadas com lojistas do Centro Fashion, chamados de permissionários.
Originalidade: O estudo do Centro Fashion como solução sustentável, cuja infraestrutura diferenciada inclui até hospedagem para os clientes compradores vindos de outras cidades, a maioria “sacoleiras”, justifica sua escolha como caso de estudo e o torna modelo replicável para outras localidades.
Resultados: A pesquisa revela que a parceria entre a Prefeitura Municipal de Fortaleza e empreendedores da iniciativa privada para a instalação do Centro Fashion mostrou-se uma solução de co-produção sustentável por apresentar benefícios nas dimensões sociais, econômicas e ambientais, tanto para os comerciantes informais como para a cidade que teve recuperada a área do Centro, antes ocupada por ambulantes em condições insalubres.
Constribuições Teóricas: Em termos teóricos, a pesquisa contribui com o que Brandsen & Pestoff (2006) chamam de parcerias de co-produção de soluções privadas para serviços públicos ao identificar os benefícios econômicos, sociais e ambientais sob o enfoque da Teoria do Triple Bottom Line (Elkington, 1997).
Contribuições Gerenciais: Em termos gerenciais, o caso apresentado serve de modelo tanto para empreendimentos privados como para a definição de políticas públicas.

L’auto-confrontation : un outil pour identifier les gestes professionnels et relever les défis de la formation
Dans cette contribution, nous cherchons à mettre en lumière ce qui oriente l’activité d’une enseignante experte dans une classe de 1-2HarmoS. Nous pensons que l’accès au discours de l’enseignant expert permet de rendre visible et lisible la complexité des gestes enseignants et que ceci constitue un outil intéressant pour la formation.
Nous proposons une analyse qualitative à partir d’une situation d’enseignement et d’une auto-confrontation. Nous répondrons aux questions suivantes:

Que fait l’enseignante ?
Quelles connaissances mobilise-t-elle ?
Que cherche-t-elle à faire ?
Que prend-elle en compte dans la situation ?
