title: Ethnological aspects of COVID-19

description: Abstract Within recent past, coronavirus has shaken the whole world. The world faced a new pandemic of novel coronavirus 2019 (SARS-CoV-2/ COVID-19).It has socioeconomically impacted world population a lot in terms of education, economy as well as physical and mental health. This novel coronavirus is notorious enough that put human health at a great risk. Currently, researchers all over the world aretrying hard to develop a new drug/vaccine for its treatment. In past decades, the world population has faced various viral infectious illness outbreaks. Influenza A, Ebola, Zika, SARS and MERS viruses had whacked public health and economy. Medical science technology achieved the landmark in developing coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines that are approved currently for emergency use. Some of the recently approved vaccines are developed by Pfizer and Moderna, Johnson and Johnson, Gam-COVID-vac (Sputnik V), Bharat Biotech (covaxin) andOxford-AstraZeneca vaccines (covishield) (Badenet al., 2021). Here, a short review is drafted focusingon infection, immune system, pathogenesis, phylogenesis, mode of transmission and impact of coronavirus on health and economy and recent developments in treating COVID-19.

title: Nursing staff’s instrument for change-of-shift reporting - SBAR (Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation): validation and application

description: ABSTRACT Objectives: to validate and apply a change-of-shift instrument using the SBAR (Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation) tool. Methods: methodological study for the validation of an instrument. It was validated by ten judges from the area of nursing teaching and care and applied in a surgical gastroenterology ward by 11 nursing technicians in February 2019. The analyses considered descriptive statistics. Results: the judges analyzed the instrument with a content validity index of 91.7% and made suggestions, which led to the second version of the instrument. The participants reported that the predominant modality of shift handover is oral, in the nursing room, lasting six to ten minutes. Most pay attention during shift change, mention that delays and early departures interfere in the activity and believe that the instrument provides the necessary information and is viable. Conclusions: the instrument built was validated, and its application proved relevant, as it was considered necessary and feasible.

title: Netnography for the production and analysis of contradictions in a banking activity

description: Abstract This study is based on the Activity Theory and observed a Brazilian bank, describing the contradictions raised by netnography in an activity system - one of the bank’s employee online communication channels, called the Collaborative Forum. In this channel, employees exchange information, problems, and suggestions related to their activity. A specific topic for this investigation was created in the channel, and based on excerpts from the speeches, it was possible to identify tensions indicating contradictions, categorize them, and formulate contradiction hypotheses. This information supported a set of mirror data that provided initial empirical material for structuring this case. Netnography stands out as an innovative method in studies on formative intervention. Together with the theoretical-methodological foundations of the activity theory, netnography proved to be a potential tool for producing mirror data, providing opportunities for a preliminary survey of hypotheses that could help the interventionist researcher better understand an activity’s contradictions as a whole.

title: Taxonomy and diversity of hydroids (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) of Sergipe, Northeast Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Despite the great advances in research on the taxonomy and ecology of hydroids of the Brazilian coast, those studies are concentrated in the Southeast and South regions of the country, leaving a gap in knowledge from the North and Northeast regions. Aiming to fill part of this gap, we studied the hydroids communities in the state of Sergipe, Northeast Brazil, in the continental shelf and in three estuarine regions. In the continental shelf, samplings with fishing trawls took place during the dry and rainy seasons of 1999-2003 (8 campaigns), from 18 stations distributed at depths of 10, 20, and 30 m. In the estuaries of the rivers Japaratuba, Sergipe and Vaza-Barris three ropes with six polyethylene plates were installed in each place and left submerged for three months in the dry and rainy periods of 2017. Seventy-nine hydroid species of 26 families were identified. Sixteen of these have been assigned to nine Anthoathecata families and the remaining 63 species to 17 Leptothecata families. Among the identified species, 60 are new records from Sergipe and among those, nine are also new records from the Northeast region and two from the Brazilian coast. Our results increase the hydroid records from Sergipe and extend the range of some species inside the Brazilian coast and the Atlantic Ocean, showing the potential for future studies in other environments of the Sergipe coast.

title: Indexicality, Power, and Metapragmatics of Queerness: Gaydar Apparatus

description: ABSTRACT: This article aims to discuss the gaydar as an exercise of power, based on the concept of apparatus by Foucault (2014) and Agamben (2005). I do not suppose that is possible to identify one’s sexuality like Rule (2011) e Sulpizio et al. (2020) do. On the contrary, I investigate the gaydar as a historical apparatus used to exert power, knowledge. To do so I analyse a commercial of an insurance company named Adam and Eve. Firstly, I relate gaydar to the performative conceptions of gender and sexuality. Secondly, I discuss how linguistic profiling ( BAUGH, 2003) and indexicality ( SILVERSTEIN, 2003) act as power techniques invested by this device. Finally, I point out how metapragmatics ( SIGNORINI, 2008) are relevant to understanding the use of gaydar when analyzing an insurance commercial ending with the presentation of several apparatus for its control.

title: Academic production in the field of Indigenous Formal Education: A tribute to Marilda Cavalcanti

description: ABSTRACT Indigenous Formal Education in Brazil has benefited from academic production derived from different fields of knowledge. Our aim in this paper is to reflect upon theoretical assumptions that have served as foundation for research projects developed in the area of Applied Linguistics. We start this article presenting a brief history of Indigenous Formal Education in our country, followed by Marilda Cavalcanti’s activities that have shown to be fundamental for the inclusion of this area, particularly in what Indigenous teachers’ education is concerned, as object of investigation in Applied Linguistics. After focusing on public policies and courses geared towards this type of teacher education, we then describe and discuss some of the theoretical framework that has worked as basis for investigation projects put forward by members of the research group “Vozes na Escola”, focusing primarily on the concepts of interculturality and of ethnic and linguistic identity. We close this paper expressing our concerns about the ways public policies destined to Indigenous Peoples have been lately conducted in the country.

title: Effects of nutrition education given to persons with multiple sclerosis and their families on diet quality and anthropometric and biochemical measurements

description: ABSTRACT Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of nutrition education given to persons with multiple sclerosis and their families on anthropometric and biochemical measurements and diet quality. Methods: Data from 51 persons with multiple sclerosis were analysed in this intervention study. The study was conducted with 3 groups. The education group consisted of only persons with multiple sclerosis, the family education group consisted of persons with multiple sclerosis and a family member living with them, and the control group consisted of persons with multiple sclerosis who had not received an education. Anthropometric and biochemical measurements and dietary quality assessments were made before (T1) and immediately after education (T2) and also 3 months after education (follow-up, T3). Results: The distribution of family education group diet quality scores showed a significant increase from “poor” to “needs improvement” at T3 compared to T1. The upper middle arm circumference measurements of the female control group were decreased at T2 and T3 [from 29.0 (23-34) cm to 28.0 (22-31) cm and to 27.5 (22-31) cm]. Women in family education group, levels of serum haemoglobin and haematocrit were higher than in control group at T2 and T3. Also, men in family education group, levels of alanine aminotransferase were lower than those in education group at follow up. Levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in education group were higher than those control group at T1, T2, and T3. Conclusion: This study indicates that nutrition education affects some biochemical and anthropometric measurements in persons with multiple sclerosis. Diet quality improved when receiving education together with families.

title: Communication in radiology: evaluation of terminology and TNM descriptor use at a cancer center

description: Abstract Objective: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the transmission of information from radiologists to physicians, focusing on the level of certainty and the use of imaging descriptors from the tumor–node–metastasis (TNM) staging system. Materials and Methods Radiologists (n = 56) and referring physicians (n = 50) participated in this questionnaire-based, single-center study, conducted between March 20, 2020, and January 21, 2021. Participants were presented with terms commonly used by the radiologists at the institution and were asked to order them hierarchically in terms of the level of certainty they communicate regarding a diagnosis, using a scale ranging from 1 (most contrary to) to 10 (most favoring). They then assessed TNM system descriptors and their interpretation. Student’s t-tests and the kappa statistic were used in order to compare the rankings of the terms of certainty. Items related to T and N staging were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test. The confdence level was set to 97% (p &lt; 0.03). Results: Although overall agreement among the radiologists and referring physicians on term ranking was poor (kappa = 0.10–0.35), the mean and median values for the two groups were similar. Most of the radiologists and referring physicians (67% and 86%, respectively) approved of the proposal to establish a standard lexicon. Such a lexicon, based on the participant responses, was developed and graphically represented. Regarding the TNM system descriptors, there were significant differences between the two groups in the reporting of lymph node numbers, of features indicating capsular rupture, and of vessel wall irregularities, as well as in the preference for clear descriptions of vascular involvement. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that ineffective communication and differences in report interpretation between radiologists and referring physicians are still prevalent in the fields of radiology and oncology. Efforts to gain a better understanding of those impediments might improve the objectivity of reporting and the quality of care.
