Creeping into freedom: woman’s body in “The yellow wallpaper”, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Even though the short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” (1892), by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, has received much attention, especially from feminist literary criticism, there have been relatively few considerations on the main character’s body and on how it relates to her ordeal under patriarchal repression. By examining the physical aspect of the narrator’s experience, this article investigates two main hypotheses: (1) that the narrator’s body is controlled as a means of controlling her mind, but this fails when she uses her mind to free her body; and (2) that the “creeping” movement obsessively mentioned by the narrator can be interpreted as a subversion. This second proposition counterpoints the notion that the narrator’s descent into madness is proof of male triumph over female freedom

Difficulties Found by Students in the Disciplines of Post-graduation in Electrical Engineering

In this study, we explore the difficulties of students in the disciplines of post-graduation in electrical engineering. To the extent that the student is able to elucidate his difficulties during the disciplines of the postgraduate course, your research can flow with greater satisfaction and success. Our findings are based on interviews of students with different backgrounds and educational experiences, allowing to capture different difficulties and motivations found in the classroom, which influence the researches of masters and doctoral students. We found that most of the students in the postgraduate course in electrical engineering had background training in distinct areas (73.3%), and that they are generally related area students, such as math, computing, and other areas of engineering. Another aspect is that most interviewees reported that their difficulties were related to the disciplines that addressed the development of algorithms and mathematical calculations (66%), suggesting that this problem was a consequence of insufficient knowledge base for the disciplines. The findings suggest that even with the difficulties encountered in the classroom, the students of the course had no disapproval, because most of the time they sought to discuss their difficulties in groups of studies created by classmates, and thus, elucidating the difficulties faced with colleagues who had different skills

A saúde do professor frente ao ensino remoto: The teacher's health in front of remote teaching

Este estudo trata do ensino remoto na pandemia e os efeitos provocados na saúde do professor, tema escolhido de acordo com as dificuldades e expectativas vivenciadas durante o ensino remoto. O mundo sofre desde o final de 2019 com a pandemia do novo coronavírus que mudou a rotina das pessoas. As aulas foram transpostas do modelo presencial para o remoto, com aulas online através de plataformas digitais. Com isso, o trabalho do professor foi intensificado trazendo consequências para sua saúde. O presente estudo tem por finalidade analisar as consequências do ensino remoto na saúde do professor devido a pandemia de coronavírus. Foi utilizada a metodologia de estudo de síntese, através de uma revisão de literatura de estudos nacionais publicados em 2020 e 2021, anos de implantação e desenvolvimento do ensino remoto, nas bases de dados BVS, SciELO e CAPES, encontradas 5 publicações. Como resultados, pôde-se observar que todos os estudos ressaltam o professor inserido em um ambiente favorável ao adoecimento mental pelos impactos da COVID-19, coexistem os efeitos do isolamento social, que restringem as atividades sociais e de laser, considerados potenciais fatores de risco à saúde mental. Junto a isso existe a exploração do trabalho, uma vez que passou a fazer parte de todo o cotidiano do professor, levando à exaustão. Ficou evidente também a questão de gênero, uma vez que as mulheres têm enfrentado a rotina de jornadas exaustivas. Percebeu-se que ainda há muito o que ser pesquisado e que a partir desses estudos sejam propostas estratégias de intervenção na saúde dos professores em ensino remoto, proporcionando uma melhor qualidade de trabalho e de vida, articulando as exigências profissionais no contexto da pandemia com a saúde mental e medidas de prevenção e vigilância sobre o trabalho e a saúde do professor

Production of He-4 and (4) in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S=2.76 TeV at the LHC

Results on the production of He-4 and (4) nuclei in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 2.76 TeV in the rapidity range vertical bar y vertical bar <1, using the ALICE detector, are presented in this paper. The rapidity densities corresponding to 0-10% central events are found to be dN/dy4(He) = (0.8 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.3 (syst)) x 10(-6) and dN/dy4 = (1.1 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.2 (syst)) x 10(-6), respectively. This is in agreement with the statistical thermal model expectation assuming the same chemical freeze-out temperature (T-chem = 156 MeV) as for light hadrons. The measured ratio of (4)/He-4 is 1.4 +/- 0.8 (stat) +/- 0.5 (syst). (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe

Rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is associated with high in-hospital mortality. Alveolar recruitment followed by ventilation at optimal titrated PEEP may reduce ventilator-induced lung injury and improve oxygenation in patients with ARDS, but the effects on mortality and other clinical outcomes remain unknown. This article reports the rationale, study design, and analysis plan of the Alveolar Recruitment for ARDS Trial (ART). Methods/Design: ART is a pragmatic, multicenter, randomized (concealed), controlled trial, which aims to determine if maximum stepwise alveolar recruitment associated with PEEP titration is able to increase 28-day survival in patients with ARDS compared to conventional treatment (ARDSNet strategy). We will enroll adult patients with ARDS of less than 72 h duration. The intervention group will receive an alveolar recruitment maneuver, with stepwise increases of PEEP achieving 45 cmH(2)O and peak pressure of 60 cmH2O, followed by ventilation with optimal PEEP titrated according to the static compliance of the respiratory system. In the control group, mechanical ventilation will follow a conventional protocol (ARDSNet). In both groups, we will use controlled volume mode with low tidal volumes (4 to 6 mL/kg of predicted body weight) and targeting plateau pressure &lt;= 30 cmH2O. The primary outcome is 28-day survival, and the secondary outcomes are: length of ICU stay; length of hospital stay; pneumothorax requiring chest tube during first 7 days; barotrauma during first 7 days; mechanical ventilation-free days from days 1 to 28; ICU, in-hospital, and 6-month survival. ART is an event-guided trial planned to last until 520 events (deaths within 28 days) are observed. These events allow detection of a hazard ratio of 0.75, with 90% power and two-tailed type I error of 5%. All analysis will follow the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion: If the ART strategy with maximum recruitment and PEEP titration improves 28-day survival, this will represent a notable advance to the care of ARDS patients. Conversely, if the ART strategy is similar or inferior to the current evidence-based strategy (ARDSNet), this should also change current practice as many institutions routinely employ recruitment maneuvers and set PEEP levels according to some titration method.Hospital do Coracao (HCor) as part of the Program 'Hospitais de Excelencia a Servico do SUS (PROADI-SUS)'Brazilian Ministry of Healt

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

A ioga do professor Hermógenes: mediações culturais

Esta dissertação observa a obra do Professor Hermógenes, que tem como assunto principal a ioga. Hermógenes construiu um discurso híbrido baseado nas figuras do cristianismo e com passagens da Bíblia estabelece relações entre o Oriente e o Ocidente. Propõe em seu texto mediações culturais que abrangem as religiosidades, a ciência e as corporeidades. Hermógenes descreve a ioga de maneira adequada a realidade brasileira. Sugere a importância da experiência, a busca pela espiritualidade e o Deus interior, a vivência das sensações do corpo que acompanham os preceitos da Contracultura e também da Nova Era. Hermógenes criou e legitimou seu método de ioga, a yogaterapia, e trouxe à superfície valores que sustentam a estrutura da expressão ioga no país.This dissertation observes the works by Professor Hermógenes, that has yoga as his main topic. Hermógenes has constructed an hybrid discourse based on christianity figures and with Bible passagens, establishing connections between the Eastern and Western culture. The cultural mediations that embraces the religiosities, science and corporeities, Hermógenes describes yoga in a appropriate manner to brazilian reality. The experience, the search for spirituality, the inner God and the deeply feel of the body goes along with the Counterculture and New Age principles. Hermógenes has created and legitimated his own yoga method, the ‘yogatherapy’, and brought to surface the values that sustains the structure of yoga expression in the country
