El autocuidado y apoyo social de mujeres de un proyecto de seguimiento mamográfico en Porto Alegre/Brasil

Objective: Identify preventive self-care practices and analyze the configurations of the network support for women with and without breast cancer registered in a mammography-monitoring project from Porto Alegre/Brazil.Method: a mixed sequential delimitation was performed, which expanded the results of the quantitative step (cross and correlation section) in a qualitative step (narrative interviews). 37 women diagnosed with breast cancer (group 1) and 72 without this diagnosis (group 2 – monitoring) participated. The following instruments were used: Assessment Questionnaire Self-care Ability (ASA-A) and Assessment Questionnaire Perceived Social Support and Community. There were performed descriptive analysis and comparison of means (t test and ANOVA) between the two groups. To deepen the understanding of the data, we selected four women with breast cancer with extreme levels on the scale of Social Support to participate in the biographical narrative interviews.Results: the analysis indicate that women who had breast cancer have better self-care practices than the women from the monitoring project (t = 1.791, P = 0.027). As for the analysis of social support, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups. All participants have an average level of perceived social and community support. It was highlighted by the qualitative data that it was after the diagnosis of breast cancer that women lived self-care aspects they had not previously experienced.Conclusions: the self-care was significantly bigger in the group of women with breast cancer, where the cancer diagnosis was a trigger to increase self-care.

De enemigo vencido a tesoro cercado: Un estudio etnohistórico sobre el ambiente en la producción forestal del Alto Paraná de Misiones (Arg.). En: Av��, nº 20

Se presenta una etnohistoria ambiental de la producción forestal en el bosque atlántico altoparanaense de Misiones (Argentina), entre 1874 y 2010. Para ello se utiliza el enfoque de la historia ambiental que se propone conocer las prácticas e ideas con las que una sociedad interviene la naturaleza (Arnold, 1992). Es etnohistoria, porque se orienta a caracterizar la diversidad de grupos sociales ágrafos y subalternos. En base a diferencias tecnológicas, de recurso y de territorio en uso, el período estudiado se subdividió en tres etapas: a) 1874 a 1920: la representación hegemónica es la selva como enemigo a vencer para integrar a Misiones a la Nación. b) 1930 a 1960: la selva es fuente de materia prima a costo cero. c) 1970 a 2010: la selva es resguardada en áreas de reserva, se define a la plantación monocultivo de árboles como bosque. La hipótesis central del artículo es que este abordaje histórico y etnográfico a la vez, posibilita entender la relación naturaleza-cultura como un proceso de configuración simultánea de dominios excluyentes, donde la clase y la diversidad étnica determinan experiencias sociales particulares del ambiente.

Skolad blick på blommor : Formandet av yrkeskunnande i floristutbildning

This article-based thesis focuses on the formation of vocational knowing within adult and upper secondary floristry education in Sweden. Three articles explore classroom interaction and assessment actions; a fourth considers changes in vocational subject matter during the period 1990–2015. While the first three articles draw on empirical data in the form of video and audio recordings in combination with participant observation, the fourth is based primarily on material-based interview data. All four articles share a sociocultural perspective on educational practice (Wertsch, 1998; Säljö, 2011, 2013) and a relational view of knowing (e.g., Carlgren, 2015; Molander, 1996), in combination with the use of conversation analysis (Goodwin & Heritage, 1990; Sahlström & Melander, 2010) as a tool to illuminate the formation of vocational knowing. The interaction between teacher, student, and floral arrangement is foregrounded to facilitate analysis of the formation of vocational knowing. The results contribute to our understanding of the schooling of the gaze (Goodwin, 1994; Grasseni, 2009, 2011) as appropriated by participants in the interaction. Floristry vocational knowing is shown to evolve in the temporal dimension, encompassing (a) financial and aesthetic values, (b) verbal and non–verbal communication, (c) botanical material and tools, and (d) making. The respective roles and interrelations of these four components of vocational knowing in floristry are discussed. The contribution of the thesis is twofold. First, these articles contribute to the understanding of vocational education through close appraisal of the formation of vocational knowing. Second, in exploring the previously under-researched field of Swedish floristry vocational education, the thesis bridges a gap in existing knowledge of the evolution of Swedish vocational education. As floristry education is little researched internationally, the thesis also contributes to the wider body of international research. 

Det är som en dödsdom : En litteraturstudie om patienters upplevelser av att leva med HCV i ett välfärdsamhälle.

Introduktion: HCV är en globalt utbredd virusinfektion som angriper levern och kan orsaka stort lidande för individen. Infektionen kan orsaka akuta eller kroniska tillstånd och de som infekterats löper en ökad risk att drabbas av följdsjukdomar som bland annat levercirros och levercancer. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelser av att leva med HCV i ett välfärdssamhälle. Metod: Studien är utformad som en litteraturstudie efter Polit och Beck (2012) niostegsmodell. Artikelsökningarna är gjorda i databaserna CINAHL, PubMed och PsykINFO. Resultatet i studien bygger på 11 vetenskapliga artiklar som granskats utifrån Polit och Becks (2012) granskningsmallar för kvalitativ respektive kvantitativ metod. Resultat: Resultatet utgörs av fem teman: Fysiska och psykiska symtoms inverkan på livskvalitet, Skiftande bemötande  inom sjukvården, Stigmatisering och rädsla för stigmatisering Stöd i mellanmänskliga relationer samt HCV innebär livsomställningar. Resultatet visar att HCV-diagnosticerade patienter upplever olika fysiska och psykiska besvär. Det framgår även att de upplever stigmatisering och diskriminering av samhället vilket har en negativ inverkan på dessa personers upplevelse av livskvalitet. Slutsats: HCV-diagnostiserade personer upplever ofta stigmatisering och diskriminering i sitt möte med sjukvården och i övriga relationer. Detta resulterar i att de undviker att söka vård och att berätta om sin diagnos, vilket leder till isolering och försämrad hälsa, både fysiskt och psykiskt.

Relative contribution of natural productivity and compound feed to tissue growth in blue shrimp (Litopenaeus stylirostris) reared in biofloc: Assessment by C and N stable isotope ratios and effect on key digestive enzymes

The aim of this study was to assess the relative contribution of natural productivity and compound food to the growth of the juvenile blue shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris reared in a biofloc system. Two experiments were carried out based on the same protocol with three treatments: clear water with experimental diet (CW), biofloc with experimental diet (BF) and biofloc unfed (BU). Shrimp survival was significantly higher in biofloc rearing than in CW rearing. The contribution of the biofloc to shrimp diet was estimated through measurement of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios in shrimp and food sources. Different isotopic compositions between feeds were obtained by feeding natural productivity with a mixture rich in fish meal and the shrimps with a pellet containing a high level of soy protein concentrate. Using a two source one-isotope mixing model, we found that the natural productivity of the biofloc system contributed to shrimp growth at a level of 39.8% and 36.9%, for C and N, respectively. The natural food consumed by the shrimps reared in the biofloc system resulted in higher gene expression (mRNA transcript abundance) and activities of two digestive enzymes in their digestive gland: α-amylase and trypsin. The growth of shrimp biomass reared in biofloc was, on average, 4.4 times that of those grown in clear water. Our results confirmed the best survival and promoted growth of shrimps using biofloc technology and highlighted the key role of the biofloc in the nutrition of rearing shrimps. Statement of relevance In this study, we have applied an original protocol to determine the respective contribution of natural productivity and artificial feeds on the alimentation of the juvenile blue shrimp L. stylirostris reared in biofloc system by using C and N natural stable isotope analysis. Moreover, we have compared, in shrimp digestive gland, the α-amylase and trypsin enzyme activities at biochemical and molecular levels for two different shrimp rearing systems, biofloc and clear water. In our knowledge, the use of molecular tool to study the influence of biofloc consumption on digest process of shrimp was never carried out. We think that our research is new and important to increase knowledge on biofloc topic.

Proteína C reactiva, marcador inflamatorio asociado con ANCA en tuberculosis pulmonar

Antecedentes: la proteína C reactiva es uno de los marcadores inflamatorios denominados “reactantes de fase aguda” que se produce en el hígado en respuesta a procesos infecciosos o inflamatorios. En los pacientes con tuberculosis se ha descrito la formación de anticuerpos anticitoplasma de neutrófi los (ANCA). Objetivo: determinar la concentración de proteína C reactiva, evaluar su comportamiento como marcador de la respuesta inflamatoria y analizar su correlación con los ANCA en los pacientes con tuberculosis pulmonar, antes y después de iniciar el tratamiento antifímico. Pacientes: se eligieron pacientes con sospecha de tuberculosis pulmonar. Una vez confirmado el diagnóstico, se obtuvieron las muestras de suero para analizar los datos clínicos y de laboratorios. La determinación de ANCA se realizó con estuches comerciales de inmunofluorescencia y la de proteína C reactiva con ELISA, antes y después de iniciar el tratamiento antifímico. Resultados: se obtuvieron 50 muestras de suero de pacientes con tuberculosis pulmonar. En la primera (94%) y segunda obtención (90%) de los sueros se registró un valor de proteína C reactiva menor de 5 mg/L. El valor promedio de proteína C reactiva fue de 3.05 ± 8.27 mg/L en la primera muestra y de 4.49 ± 11.2 mg/L en la segunda (p = 0.46). Los pacientes positivos a ANCA tuvieron valores más altos de proteína C reactiva en su segunda muestra (p = 0.001). Discusión: existe una asociación entre la proteína C reactiva y la producción de anticuerpos anticitoplasma de neutrófilos en un subgrupo de pacientes con tuberculosis pulmonar. Su significación es incierta, pero quizá desempeñan alguna función patogénica en la respuesta inflamatoria pulmonar.
