Arte, design e o feminino: tradução intersemiótica do conto La Loba em livro-objeto

O design na cultura contemporânea tem o papel de solidificar pensamentos em signos gráficos e objetos. O conhecimento teórico e filosófico tem despertado maneiras de construção de objetos de design que desautomatizem modos de ver e interagir com o mundo. Dentre tais conhecimentos destacam-se: o embasamento na semiótica; a atenção aos processos de tradução intersemiótica; a compreensão do conceito de corpo e corpo político em  Espinosa, Deleuze e Guattari; a potencia da transformação do consumo em uso baseado nos estudos de Lucrécia D´Aléssio Ferrara; e o chamado à rebeldia de David Harvey. Neste artigo será demonstrado como tais conhecimentos contribuíram para a tradução intersemiótica do conto La Loba em livro-objet

COLCHAS DE RETALHOS

Colchas de retalhos fazem parte de um conjunto de artefatos de uso doméstico que, no passado, eram confeccionados em casa, com o fito utilitário de, ao mesmo tempo, aproveitar sobras de tecido e fazer uso de coberta para as noites mais frias. Neste artigo, propomos fazer um registro sobre a feitura de colchas de retalhos na cidade de Jaraguá-GO, como uma prática considerada parte do patrimônio do cultural local. A partir de uma pesquisa com pessoas da comunidade jaraguense que ainda costuram essas colchas e que narram essa experiência, o artigo faz um apanhado geral sobre questões históricas a respeito dessa arte, como ela resiste na cidade, quem são algumas das pessoas que ainda se dedicam a ela e quais são alguns tipos mais comuns desses artefatos. De modo indireto, o artigo busca colaborar com propostas de educação patrimonial

A STUDY ON THE PHENOMENA IN LESU-LULI`S POETRY IN BOBONARO MUNICIPALITY

lesu - luli The aim of this research was to describe the history of Lesu-luli and to find the intrinsic elements in Lesu-luli’s Poetry. This research was a phenomenological research that using the descriptive method. In this study, the primary data was the script of lesu – luli’s poetry while the secondary data was the source text, such as literary theory books, the results of another literature research about poetry and culture, as well as the source from the internet. In this study, there were four informants. The data gathering from the informants was analyzed in three steps, namely data reduction and translating, data presentation and conclusion or verification. Based on the result of this study the history of “lesu-luli”  is coming from the name of two grandfathers namely Mau Lesu and Lesu Tali. Mau Lesu came from uma Slelo while Lesu Tali came from uma Bere Ubu. Both of the grandfathers were a captain and a major. They had played the important role to struggle and liberate for the tradition of lesu luli. This struggle involved the eight households (that now become the eight of uma lisan or uma lulik) and also the kings. The kings were two peoples namely Talentuand Kornel. Talentu came from uma Bero Mau while Kornel came from uma Kali Ubu. Lesu – luli not only a sacred stone without meaning. Peoples in Meligo village made this place as a place where the people could ask the blessing of the ancestors and God. This was a culture and tradition that regularly conducted every year around September or October. Peoples in Meligo village believed that if the ceremony of lesu – luli was not celebrated, it would cause died, disaster, bad seeds, and drought (dry season). The intrinsic elements found in lesu – luli’s poetry were: (1) Structure. In the structural analysis, the writer found two elements line and stanza. The types of the stanza in lesu – luli’s poetry were a triplet, the quatrain, and the cinquain/quintet stanza. (2) Sound. The most type of sound found in lesu – luli’s poetry was ended rhyme sound. (3) Figurative language or diction. The style of language or diction that found in lesu – luli’s poetry was a formal language and the selection of words in this poem was very religious. Finally, the writer conclude that a culture must be protected because a culture is a foundation of human life

Learning objects in distance education: tools for technology-mediated teaching

Learning Objects are resources that promote more interaction, agility in the recovery of information, and communication between individuals in many different contexts. Considering this, this article aims to carry out an integrative review about the types of learning objects and how they are being used in distance teaching in the field of health. This is an integrative literature review. Databases used for the search were PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, and Science Direct. To locate relevant studies, that could answer to the research question, the descriptors indexed in Portuguese, English, and Spanish were used. The descriptors used were: "health" AND "learning object" AND "distance education" OR "e-learning". The final sample of this review included 13 articles selected according with inclusion criteria previously established. It was found that 77% of the articles selected were published by European (39.5%) and Asian (38.5%) countries. 46.2% of the publications were published in 2016, 2017, and 2018, while 2019 and 2020 alone had 53.8%. The main learning objects used in distance teaching in health, listed in the articles included, were video classes, podcasts, e-books, and interactive games. Medicine was the professional category with the greatest number of LOs for professional training and education, followed by nursing and dentistry. The use of LOs in distance education show that, in 76.9% of studies, their use improved the performance in the teaching-learning process. Therefore, we expect this virtual educational benefit to become consolidated, so new strategies and tools become available in teaching strategies

Audiological manifestations in children and adults with AIDS

BACKGROUND: according to the literature, the incidence of hearing impairment in patients with HIV / AIDS might be caused by alterations in external, middle and / or internal ear. AIM: to characterize and to compare the results of audiological assessment and Auditory Brainstem Response in children and adults with AIDS. METHOD: audiological and electrophysiological (Auditory Brainstem Response) assessment of hearing was carried out in 51 children and 22 adults with HIV/AIDS (research groups I and II, respectively) and in 50 healthy children and 25 healthy adults (control groups I and II, respectively). Participants ranged in age between 3 and 10 years (children) and between 18 and 50 years (adults). RESULTS: the most frequent observed alteration for children with AIDS was related to the middle ear whereas for adults with AIDS it was related to the internal ear. Higher occurrence of abnormal results was observed for adults with AIDS as compared to children with AIDS. CONCLUSION: children and adults with AIDS present alterations in audiological assessment and Auditory Brainstem Response. This suggests the involvement of peripheral and central auditory pathways. Findings of the present study emphasize the effectiveness of using electrophysiological hearing measures in order to better identify the brain injury level in patients with AIDS, besides allowing the monitoring of the development rate of the disease.TEMA: a literatura relata a ocorrência de alteração auditiva em pacientes com HIV/AIDS, podendo esta ser decorrente de comprometimentos na orelha externa, média e/ou interna. OBJETIVOS: caracterizar e comparar os resultados da avaliação audiológica e do Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Tronco Encefálico de crianças e adultos com AIDS. MÉTODOS: foram submetidos à avaliação audiológica e eletrofisiológica (Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Tronco Encefálico) 51 crianças e 22 adultos com AIDS (grupos pesquisa I e II respectivamente) e 50 crianças e 25 adultos saudáveis (grupos controle I e II respectivamente), com idade entre três e 10 anos (crianças) e entre 18 e 50 anos (adultos). RESULTADOS: nas crianças com AIDS foram mais frequentes as alterações de orelha média e nos adultos as de orelha interna, bem como maior ocorrência de resultados alterados no potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico nos adultos quando comparados às crianças. CONCLUSÃO: crianças e adultos com AIDS apresentam alterações na avaliação audiológica e no potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico, sugestivas de comprometimento das vias auditiva periférica e central. Os resultados enfatizam a eficácia da utilização dos testes eletrofisiológicos da audição para melhor definição do grau de lesão encefálica em pacientes com AIDS, permitindo ainda a monitorização da velocidade de evolução da doença.Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)FMUSP Departamento de Fisioterapia, Fonoaudiologia e Terapia OcupacionalUNIFESPSciEL

RESULTADOS: Três publicações foram incluídas na síntese qualitativa. Os instrumentos identificados foram o “Questionário para Avaliação da Adesão ao Tratamento Antirretroviral”, desenvolvido em Porto Alegre (RS) e publicado em 2007; a “Escala de autoeficácia para adesão ao tratamento antirretroviral em crianças e adolescentes com HIV/Aids”, desenvolvida em São Paulo (SP) e publicada em 2008; e o “WebAd-Q, um instrumento de autorrelato para monitorar a adesão à terapia antirretroviral em serviços de HIV/Aids no Brasil”, desenvolvido em São Bernardo do Campo (SP) e publicado em 2018. Os instrumentos foram validados no Brasil e apresentaram valores estatisticamente aceitáveis para as qualidades psicométricas. CONCLUSÃO: Os instrumentos para avaliar a adesão de pessoas vivendo com HIV à terapia antirretroviral são estratégias validadas para o contexto do Brasil. Todavia há que se expandir a (re)utilização em diferentes cenários e contextos da nação. A utilização desses instrumentos por profissionais da saúde pode melhorar a compreensão dos fatores que atuam negativa e positivamente na adesão à terapia antirretroviral, e a proposição de estratégias com o objetivo de consolidar a boa adesão e intervir no tratamento das pessoas com baixo engajamento terapêutico.OBJECTIVE: Compile the instruments validated in Brazil for assessing adherence of people living with HIV to antiretroviral therapy. METHODS: Scoping review using the Web of Science, Scopus, Medline (via PubMed), Embase, BDENF, CINAHL and Lilacs databases. In addition, the Preprints bioRxiv, Google Scholar and OpenGrey servers were checked. There was no language restriction for the search, and it considered articles published from the year 1996 onwards. RESULTS: Three publications were included in the qualitative synthesis. Following were the instruments identified “Questionário para Avaliação da Adesão ao Tratamento Antirretroviral” (Questionnaire for Assessment of Adherence to Antiretroviral Treatment) developed in Porto Alegre (RS) and published in 2007; the “Escala de autoeficácia para adesão ao tratamento antirretroviral em crianças e adolescentes com HIV/Aids” (Self-efficacy Scale for Adherence to Antiretroviral Treatment in Children and Adolescents with HIV/Aids) developed in São Paulo (SP) and published in 2008; and the “WebAd-Q, um instrumento de autorrelato para monitorar a adesão à terapia antirretroviral em serviços de HIV/Aids no Brasil” (WebAd-Q, a self-report instrument to monitor adherence to antiretroviral therapy in HIV/Aids services in Brazil) developed in São Bernardo do Campo (SP) and published in 2018. The instruments were validated in Brazil, and presented statistically acceptable values for psychometric qualities. CONCLUSION: The instruments to assess adherence of people living with HIV to antiretroviral therapy are validated strategies for the Brazilian context. However, their (re)use in different settings and contexts of the nation should be expanded. The use of these instruments by health professionals can improve the understanding of factors that act negatively and positively on antiretroviral therapy adherence, and the proposition of strategies intended to consolidate good adherence and intervene in the treatment of people with low therapeutic engagement

Impacto do estado nutricional e aporte calórico-proteico em pacientes críticos dependentes de ventilação mecânica invasiva/ Impact of nutritional status and caloric-protein intake in critically ill patients dependent on invasive mechanical ventilation

Objetivo: avaliar o impacto do estado nutricional e o aporte calórico-proteico de pacientes críticos internados na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) de um hospital de Recife-PE. Métodos: estudo do tipo coorte, prospectivo, observacional, com pacientes internados em UTI, sob ventilação mecânica invasiva (VMI) e terapia nutricional enteral (TNE). Para diagnóstico nutricional foi realizado o exame físico e aferido as medidas antropométricas. Para definição das necessidades nutricionais foram utilizadas as fórmulas de bolso recomendadas por guidelines atuais. As demais variáveis coletadas foram: o tempo em VMI; a quantidade de calorias e gramas de proteínas consumidas por dia, o tempo em uso de drogas vasoativas e sedativos, o Simplified Acute Physiology Score e o desfecho clínico. Resultados: foram acompanhados 40 pacientes, 52,5% (n=21) do sexo masculino e 47,5%(n=19) do sexo feminino, idade média de 76,4 anos (Desvio-Padrão-DP = 10 anos). A média do percentual calórico administrada foi de 63,4% (DP = 27%) e protéico 59,8% (DP=26,2%). Da amostra total, 65% (n=26) não receberam a quantidade recomendada de calorias e proteínas por quilograma, apenas 35% (n=14) atingiram a recomendação. A média de permanência sob VMI foi 11,9 dias, 55% (n=22) dos pacientes apresentaram desmame prolongado. A média de dias em uso de drogas vasoativas e sedativas foi 5,5 e 8,3, respectivamente. Apresentaram associação com o desmame de VMI apenas a “Adequação PTN/kg” (p=0,048), o uso de drogas e sedação, p=0,002 e p=0,001, respectivamente. Conclusão: Não foi verificado associação entre a adequação da terapia nutricional e o desmame de VMI, assim também como não houve associação com o estado nutricional

Biocomposite macrospheres based on strontium-bioactive glass for application as bone fillers

Traditional bioactive glass powders are typically composed of irregular particles that can be packed into dense configurations presenting low interconnectivity, which can limit bone ingrowth. The use of novel biocomposite sphere formulations comprising bioactive factors as bone fillers are most advantageous, as it simultaneously allows for packing the particles in a 3-dimensional manner to achieve an adequate interconnected porosity, enhanced biological performance, and ultimately a superior new bone formation. In this work, we develop and characterize novel biocomposite macrospheres of Sr-bioactive glass using sodium alginate, polylactic acid (PLA), and chitosan (CH) as encapsulating materials for finding applications as bone fillers. The biocomposite macrospheres that were obtained using PLA have a larger size distribution and higher porosity and an interconnectivity of 99.7%. Loose apatite particles were observed on the surface of macrospheres prepared with alginate and CH by means of soaking into a simulated body fluid (SBF) for 7 days. A dense apatite layer was formed on the biocomposite macrospheresâ surface produced with PLA, which served to protect PLA from degradation. In vitro investigations demonstrated that biocomposite macrospheres had minimal cytotoxic effects on a human osteosarcoma cell line (SaOS-2 cells). However, the accelerated degradation of PLA due to the degradation of bioactive glass may account for the observed decrease in SaOS-2 cells viability. Among the biocomposite macrospheres, those composed of PLA exhibited the most promising characteristics for their potential use as fillers in bone tissue repair applications.This work was funded by grant #2019/15960-6, São Paulo Research Foundation in Brazil (FAPESP) and the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), Reference UID/CTM/50025/2019 and FCT/Minister of Science, Technology and Higher Education in Portugal (MCTES) and by European Regional Development Fund (FEDER) funds through the COMPETE 2020 Program in the framework of ORAiDEA project (ref n° 39985 - AAC 31/SI/2017).

Medicinal plants Antimicrobial Activity against Staphylococcus spp. – Literature Review / Atividade antimicrobiana de plantas medicinais contra Staphylococcus spp. – Revisão de Literatura

The Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common bacteria in the clinical practice once it uses to colonize the human skin from up to 15% and is easily found in the nasal cavities. It can cause diseases that goes since a simple infection (pimples, boils and cellulitis) until serious infections such as pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis, toxic shock syndrome, septicemia and others. The present study aimed to analyze the published literature regarding the medicinal plants Antimicrobial Activity against Staphylococcus spp., based on the main electronic libraries and database with the purpose of knowing the Antimicrobial Activity efficacy of some Medicinal plants. It is known that several bacteria are beneficial to their hosts, since they provide protection and nutrition against some pathogens and diseases, making difficult the harmful bacteria colonization; however, the bacteria that cause harm to the human health currently have high resistance to most antimicrobial and, based on this affirmative, several technological measures are suggested to solve the bacteria resistance problem, being one of them the look for new antimicrobial from vegetal species. Medicinal plants with therapeutic properties are of great relevance in all the world, especially in developing countries; and as much as the knowledge about medicinal plants is vast these days, it is necessary more and more researches, because for many times these plants are used in a wrong way, consequently, taking a great risk due to the active substances accumulation.
