    Word-Sunday.com : Adaptación histórica-cultural de un texto bíblico para niños costarricenses

    Get PDF
    Tiene como propósito demostrar, desde un punto de vista lingüístico-semántico, qué sucede cuando se realiza una adaptación bíblica para niños en edad escolar. Se hace un análisis componencial de palabras y frases extraídas del evangelio según san Lucas para poner en evidencia tanto los rasgos semánticos que las componen, como los que se mantienen y se eliminan tras la adaptación. Como resultado, se demuestran y puntualizan los beneficios de utilizar la adaptación como estrategia de traducción para la Biblia. El estudio se basa en el análisis de la traducción parcial del sitio de internet Word-Sunday.com1, específicamente de la sección denominada «Children’s Readings». Este sitio fue diseñado por Larry Broding y tiene como objetivo brindar una herramienta para el estudio en familia de la liturgia dominical con base en las lecturas que se hacen en la eucaristía

    A escolha profissional no imaginário social - enfermeiras brasileiras e peruanas La elección profesional en el imaginario social - enfermeras brasileras y peruanas Professional choice and the social imaginary - brazilian and peruvian nurses

    Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa cujo objetivo foi conhecer e compreender as imagens e o imaginário social que permeiam a escolha profissional das enfermeiras brasileiras e peruanas. O estudo foi realizado com vinte enfermeiras dos países relacionados, em 2003, utilizando-se do Referencial Imaginário Social de Michel Maffesoli. Na análise, traçamos as categorias: imagem servil; imagem vocacional e imagem profissional, que influenciam sobremaneira a opção pela Enfermagem. Ao refletir sobre as imagens e o imaginário que permeiam a escolha profissional, percebe-se que, em sua maioria, as enfermeiras escolhem a Enfermagem munidas pelo desejo pessoal, e não familiar, de ajudar e cuidar do próximo. Finalizando, neste caminhar pelo mundo imaginal da latinidade, podemos inferir que, na escolha da Enfermagem, vêem-se projetados os arquétipos e mitos da Enfermagem historicamente construídos, divulgados e cristalizados no ideário social, e a conjunção de algumas características que compõem a Identidade Profissional da enfermeira.<br>Trata de una investigación cualitativa cuyo objetivo fue conocer y comprender las imágenes y el imaginario social que intervienen en la elección profesional de las enfermeras brasileras y peruanas.

En el análisis identificamos las categorías: imagen servil; imagen vocacional e imagen profesional, que influyen en la opción por la profesión de Enfermería. Al reflexionar sobre las imágenes y el imaginario que intervienen en la elección profesional se percibe que, la gran mayoría de enfermeras, eligen la profesión, llevadas por el deseo personal, y no familiar, de ayudar y cuidar del prójimo. Finalizando, en este caminar por el mundo imaginario de la latinidad, podemos inferir que en la elección de Enfermería se ven proyectados los arquetipos y mitos de enfermería históricamente construidos, divulgados y cristalizados en el ideario social y la conjunción de algunas características que componen la identidad profesional de la enfermera.<br>This is a qualitative research whose objective was to understand and gain knowledge on the images and the social imaginary that permeates the professional choice of brazilian and peruvian nurses. The study was carried out with twenty nurses, in 2003 and used the Michel Maffesoli's Social Imaginary theoretical framework. In the analysis, the following categories were created: servile image; vocational image and professional image. Those categories have a great influence on their choice to become a Nurse. When contemplating on the images and the imaginary that permeate their professional choice, it can be noticed that most nurses choose nursing due to a personal aspiration to help and care for people, and not beacuse of any family orientation. Finally, in this exploration through the latin imaginal world, it was possible to infer that the choice to become a nurse reflects the archetypes and myths historically built, made known and crystallized in the social imaginary, and the conjunction of some characteristics that compose the nurse's professional Identity

    Salivary glands are a target for SARS‐CoV‐2: a source for saliva contamination

    The ability of the new coronavirus SARS- CoV- 2 to spread and contaminate is one of the determinants of the COVID- 19 pandemic status. SARS- CoV- 2 has been detected in saliva consistently, with similar sensitivity to that observed in nasopharyngeal swabs. We conducted ultrasound- guided postmortem biopsies in COVID- 19 fatal cases. Samples of salivary glands (SGs; parotid, submandibular, and minor) were obtained. We analyzed samples using RT- qPCR, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, and histopathological analysis to identify SARS- CoV- 2 and elucidate qualitative and quantitative viral profiles in salivary glands. The study included 13 female and 11 male patients, with a mean age of 53.12- years (range 8- 83- years). RT- qPCR for SARS- CoV- 2 was positive in 30 SG samples from 18 patients (60% of total SG samples and 75% of all cases). Ultrastructural analyses showed spherical 70- 100- nm viral particles, consistent in size and shape with the Coronaviridae family, in the ductal lining cell cytoplasm, acinar cells, and ductal lumen of SGs. There was also degeneration of organelles in infected cells and the presence of a cluster of nucleocapsids, which suggests viral replication in SG cells. Qualitative histopathological analysis showed morphologic alterations in the duct lining epithelium characterized by cytoplasmic and nuclear vacuolization, as well as nuclear pleomorphism. Acinar cells showed degenerative changes of the zymogen granules and enlarged nuclei. Ductal epithelium and serous acinar cells showed intense expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS receptors. An anti- SARS- CoV- 2 antibody was positive in 8 (53%) of the 15 tested cases in duct lining epithelial cells and acinar cells of major SGs. Only two minor salivary glands were positive for SARS- CoV- 2 by immunohistochemistry. Salivary glands are a reservoir for SARS- CoV- 2 and provide a pathophysiological background for studies that indicate the use of saliva as a diagnostic method for COVID- 19 and highlight this biological fluid’s role in spreading the disease. © 2021 The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
