AS COMPLICAÇÕES FUTURAS DO USO INDISCRIMINADO DO LEVONORGESTREL

Introduction: The indiscriminate use of levonorgestrel, an emergency contraceptive, can entail significant risks. Although it is effective in preventing pregnancy after unprotected sexual intercourse. Objective: To highlight the risks of frequent use and the side effects of emergency contraception. Methodology: This is a descriptive research, the method used aims to systematically summarize the results achieved in studies on a specific subject or issue. Through a bibliographic survey, based on the consultation and analysis of digital sources: Google Academy, Revista Ibero-Americana de Humanidades, Ciências e Educação, Brazilian Journal of Development and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). Justification: The emergency contraceptive “levonorgestrel” can result in unplanned pregnancy, as well as does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), where guidance from a health professional is crucial to select the most appropriate contraceptive method and ensure effective and safe family planning.

The consumption of clothing by millennials in the context of convergence between analog, digital and post-digital

This paper aims to analyze how the analog, digital and post-digital perspectives are manifested in some stages of the purchasing decision process of Brazilian millennials living in the cities of Porto Alegre and São Paulo, in relation to clothing consumption behavior. The data presented reflects the qualitative part of the research "Attitudes to buying and consuming certain goods and services among young people aged between 18 to 35 belonging to Generation Y: the influence of commercial advertising on decision-making", carried out by Red Iberoamericana de Publicidad. This is an exploratory, qualitative investigation, supported by theoretical and empirical research, using the techniques of in-depth interviews and content analysis. The results point to a convergence of analog and digital media according to what is offered to the experience of young people, indicating signs of values corresponding to post-analog.

Quality Management in forensic science: A closer inspection

An international survey was conducted on the benefits and limitations of accreditation to ISO17025 in forensic science, and how quality management could be improved to reflect the complexities of the end-to-end process. The survey was in response to growing concern within the forensic science community that the standard ISO17025 (and ISO17020), which is the backbone of forensic science accreditation, does not have sufficient depth and reach to properly address the quality of both the inputs (crime scene traces) and outputs (e.g., opinions in a report) of forensic science. The survey was developed around three themes: (1) fitness for purpose, (2) competences and (3) education & training. It targeted directors and senior managers, including quality managers, of forensic science laboratories/facilities. The survey was developed by the research team and disseminated with the cooperation of the International Forensic Strategic Alliance (IFSA) and six regional Networks: the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors (ASCLD), the European Network of Forensic Science institutes (ENFSI), the Australian and New Zealand Forensic Executive Committee (ANZFEC) (formerly SMANZFL), Acadamia Iberoamericana de Criminalistica Estudios Forenses (AICEF), Asian Forensic Sciences Network (AFSN) and Southern Africa Regional Forensic Science Network (SARFS). What emerged for each of the three themes of the survey are areas of concern where the forensic science community should reconsider its approach to quality management if it is to have continuing value and relevance into the future. The results are evaluated and discussed. Briefly, the results include evidence of a lack of fitness for purpose of ISO17025 as a standard for the forensic science continuum, a lack of agreement on what forensic science is and poor levels of recognition of crime scene investigation, many competences, particularly cognitive competences, are not identified, monitored or assessed and the incentive to gain accreditation and maintain continuous improvement is intrinsic rather than customer driven.

GITAD 2020: quality assurance test through 20\xa0years of experience

GITAD (Grupo Iberoamericano de Trabajo en Análisis de DNA) was founded in 1998 as the first operational group of AICEF (Academia Iberoamericana de Criminalística y Estudios Forenses), formally created in 1999. The mission and the vision of GITAD are to promote the development of forensic genetics in Ibero-American countries and to achieve the maximum level of innovation and quality in each country, and with that aim, a proficiency test was developed. Since 1999, the member laboratories receive four reference samples with the objective of obtaining the genetic profile with their routine protocols, a theoretical exercise since 2003, and since 2007, it was incorporated a forensic sample, which changes every year. The consensus results and the different discrepancies are discussed in an annual meeting. This article illustrates the evolution of the proficiency test through 20 years from different points of view: the increase of participant laboratories, the evolution of the different DNA typing techniques reported by the Ibero-American participant laboratories, the challenges that the proficiency test have met, and future perspectives for a continuous improvement of the proficiency test, especially regarding its accreditation under ISO 17043.

Ativismos juvenis urbanos brasileiros: questões raciais e de gênero

Abstract In this article we state the main analysis perspectives and key categories that guide the research project Urban Youth Activisms: aesthetic, migratory, racial and gender issues. It was conducted by the Brazil team together with the Red Iberoamericana de Posgrados en Infancias y Juventudes (RedINJU): an international research network constituted by the WG CLACSO (Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales) Infancias y Juventudes. In this first presentation, which corresponds to the initial nine months of our study, partial results are also shared regarding the reflective, contextual and conjunctural comparison of empirical data concerning some of the intersectional aspects that guide the approach with our research subjects. They’re critical, qualitative and situated readings of statistics (official and independent) on Brazilian urban youth, which concern racial and gender issues.

Infographic: Fifteen years of Brazilian Journal of Motor Behavior

The Brazilian Journal of Motor Behavior (BJMB) is a quadriannual, peer-reviewed, free of charge/fee and open-access journal published by the Brazilian Society of Motor Behavior (SOCIBRACOM). The BJMB has published original contributions within the multidisciplinary study of human motor behavior, in the broad scope of motor control, development and learning, movement disorders, sports, clinical, theoretical and model studies. Since 2019 the BJMBpublishes manuscripts only in English. In the same year, BJMB started to invite researchers to be guest editors in article collections, providing an excellent opportunity to promote high-quality contents within the field.
 The BJMB is the main motor behavior journal in the Latin American. It is widely recognized for its significant academic contribution and indexed in the UlrichsWeb Global Serial Directory, Diadorium, Gale Directory Library, Google Scholar, Road Directory of Open Access Scholary resources and Red Iberoamericana de Innovación y Conocimiento Científico. The number of edition and papers has sustainable and significantly increased in the last years, with over 500 authors contributing with 121 manuscripts, distributed in 40 numbers. The time of peer-reviewed process is short (first revision- 26 days) and paper publication is quick (57 days).
 The BJMB was launched with its first edition published in December of 2006 and, thus, we are celebrating its 15thanniversary. For that, the BJMB launches a new type of manuscript: INFOGRAPHIC. This initiative aims to provide a quick, easy-to-use and enjoyable publication that conveys notable knowledge. Two types of infographics will be publishable: a) theory perspective: visual material to theory acknowledge to facilitate the understanding of models, theory frameworks, concepts, principles, and approaches in the field; b) article infographic: visual material about interventional effects on motor learning, development and control sustained by reviews and/or meta-analysis.
 The infographic section will be added to those already existing: research, systematic review and meta-analysis, mini review, scoping review, research notes, current opinion, critique, and tutorials. It is interesting to highlight the section about tutorial, which emphasizes and provides reflection on the use of one or several methods or self-instruction in motor behavior. Finally, the current opinion section publishes pieces of diverse authors around the world that provide perspectives on a hot, relevant, and perhaps controversial topic within the scope of BJMB.
 We would like to congratulate all for this important occasion and to wish that the BJMB continues publishing impactful and relevant contributions in the motor behavior field still for many years to come.

Geopolítica y geofilosofía: el lugar de Iberoamérica en el mundo

Philosophy must assume the paradox that constitutes it: it has a clear vocation for universality, but at the same time it is always inscribed in a specific spatial and temporal context. On the occasion of the creation of the Red Iberoamericana de Filosofia (RIF), which aims to defend Philosophy studies in the educational system, to structure the Ibero-American philosophical community and promote thought in Spanish and Portuguese on a global scale, this article outlines a geopolitical and geopolitical reflection on the many historical strata that have shaped the Ibero-American cultural space and on the need to have philosophical institutions such as the RIF, to counterbalance the geopolitical and geophilosophical hegemony of the Anglo-American cultural space and the growing power of space Indico-Pacific.

Stroke Care and Application of Thrombolysis in Ibero-America: Report From the SITS-SIECV Ibero-American Stroke Register

Standardized registries may provide valuable data to further improve stroke care. Our aim was to obtain updated information about characteristics of stroke patients and management of stroke across the Ibero-American countries, using a common in-hospital registry (Safe Implementation of Treatments in Stroke–Sociedad Iberoamericana de Enfermedades Cerebrovasculares) as a basis for further quality improvement. Data for this study were entered into the Safe Implementation of Treatments in Stroke registry from September 2009 to December 2013 by 58 centers in 14 countries. Data included demographics, risk factors, onset-to-door time, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, stroke subtype, ischemic stroke etiology, treatments, 3-month mortality, and modified Rankin Scale score. Time to treatment was also recorded for patients treated with thrombolysis. Five thousand four hundred one patients were registered; median age, 65 years; 46% women; 3915 (72.5%) ischemic strokes; 686 (13.7%) hemorrhagic strokes; 213 (4.3%) subarachnoid hemorrhages; 414 (8.3%) transient ischemic attacks; and 31 (0.6%) cerebral vein thrombosis. The most prevalent risk factors were hypertension (71.3%), dyslipidemia (35.2%), and diabetes mellitus (23.6%). Atrial fibrillation was present in 15.1%. Three hundred one ischemic strokes were treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT; 7.7%). Patients undergoing IVT were more severely affected (median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, 11 versus 6). The rate of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhages after IVT was 5.7%. At 3 months, 60.3% of IVT-treated patients and 59.1% of untreated patients were independent (modified Rankin Scale score, 0–2). Mortality was 11.4% in treated and 12.8% in untreated patients. Safe Implementation of Treatments in Stroke–Sociedad Iberoamericana de Enfermedades Cerebrovasculares is the largest registry of a general stroke population and the first study to evaluate the level of IVT use in Ibero-America. It provides valuable information that may help to improve the quality of stroke care in the Ibero-American region.

Boosting Advanced Computational Applications and Resources in Latin America through Collaboration and Sharing

Although computing research and facilities in Latin America have been developing steadily, a remarkable gap nevertheless remains in the availability of resources and specialized human resources compared to other regions. RICAP (Red Iberoamericana de Computacion de Altas Prestaciones, or Ibero-American Network for High-Performance Computing) aims to fill this gap by means of a strategic and advanced computational infrastructure that includes both high-performance and high-throughput computing platforms. This network will also develop software tools to facilitate this infrastructures accessibility and computational efficiency to encourage use by the Latin American computing community as well as focus on strengthening and training human resources in both parallel programming techniques and large-scale computing platform operations.

RIED. Una historia de 30 años de publicación científica

La “Asociación Iberoamericana de Educación Superior a Distancia” (AIESAD) es, probablemente, la más relevante de las organizaciones centradas en la educación abierta y a distancia en Iberoamérica y fundada en 1980. Uno de los objetivos fundamentales que se propuso lograr esta asociación fue el de crear una publicación académica periódica como medio ideal para la divulgación científica y mejora de los procesos educativos no presenciales. Así, en 1982 se crea el “Boletín Informativo de la Asociación Iberoamericana de Educación Superior a Distancia”. Este boletín puso las bases para el nacimiento real de una revista científica, la “Revista Iberoamericana de Educación Superior a Distancia” (RIESAD) cuyo primer número fue publicado en 1988 y el último en 1996, con un total de 172 artículos. En 1998 esta publicación se actualizó bajo un nombre similar, “RIED. Revista Iberoamericana de Educación a Distancia” que, en la actualidad, adaptándola a los tiempos, lleva el subtítulo de “Revista Iberoamericana de la Educación Digital” y que hasta este número actual ha publicado un total de 513 artículos. Por tanto, 30 años de historia (1988-2018) de una publicación científica, con un total de 685 trabajos que vieron la luz sobre educación a distancia y tecnologías digitales aplicadas a la enseñanza y al aprendizaje.

Relación entre habilidades sociales y acoso escolar

Bullying is a phenomenon that frequently occurs in relationships between students, who assume di-verse roles and who may find this manifestation as a way of interacting with others. Numerous stud-ies have been done to evaluate this problem and several interventions have been proposed, however, it is observed that the phenomenon is still present. This paper aims to show the importance of social skills in coping with bullying. The research has been developed under the descriptive methodology, through the selection of articles in the databases Redalyc, Scielo, Revista Psicoeducativa, Behav-ioral Psychology, Revista Iberoamericana de Psicologia: Ciencia y Tecnologia, Liberabit Revista de Psicologia, Revista psicologia, Culture and Society, using descriptors such as: skills and bullying, bullying, social skills, in the last 15 years

Presentación. La integración efectiva del dispositivo móvil en la educación y en el aprendizaje

It is a real fact that mobile devices, specially smartphones, and Internet have substantially changed the customs of the population, the social habits, the communication media, and, ultimately, the way of life of people. Inevitably, although with different barriers and with more time that many studies and reports estimated, mobility has arrived to the educational context, with different intensity, penetration and usage in formal and non-formal education, and in a full way into the informal learning. Mobile device is called to revolutionize the educational practices due to it introduces some degrees of freedom that other previous technologies had not offered. The power of ubiquitous connectivity and the possibilities of having access to the knowledge sources in a pocket device, such as mobile phone, or with a size as a notebook, in the case of tablets, and also equipped with a processing capacity higher than that of personal computers a few years ago, pose disruptive scenarios in educational methodologies based on technology and support eLearning as a natural option both as a complement or as a main educational model. However, this idyllic vision has a different degree of acceptance according to the educational level, the disciplinary area and the formality of the formative action. Therefore, large-scale research studies are needed to convey the degree of advancement, effective use, acceptance and penetration of mobile technologies in education and learning. This is the reason for this special issue at the Revista Iberoamericana de Educacion a Distancia (RIED), which consists of 13 articles selected after a rigorous peer review of the more than 35 proposals received.

Enuresis: practical guidelines for primary care.

Although the evidence is relatively weak, expert opinion recommends accurate diagnosis of enuresis and the use of enuresis alarms and desmopressin, in addition to behavioural approaches Worldwide, around 10% of 6–7-year-olds suffer from enuresis. Enuresis is therefore highly prevalent, but its impact is often underestimated. Training for family doctors rarely includes specific guidance on enuresis, and the default approach is often to wait for spontaneous resolution. Despite comprehensive enuresis guidelines in specialist journals for secondary and tertiary care, versions for use in primary care are scarce (for example, https://pathways.nice.org.uk/pathways/bedwetting-in-children-and-young-people), and often confusing because of outdated terminology. This article provides practical guidelines and tools to manage enuresis in primary care in children of ≥5 years based on the guidelines of the International Children’s Continence Society (ICCS), following the new ICCS standardisation and subtyping of patients.1–3 The document was developed by the steering committee of World Bedwetting Day 2017 representing the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the North American Paediatric Urology Societies, the European Society for Paediatric Nephrology (ESPN), the European Society for Paediatric Urology (ESPU), the Asia Pacific Association of Paediatric Urology (APAPU), the Sociedad Iberoamericana de Urologia Paediatrica (SIUP), the International Pediatric Nephrology Association (IPNA), and the ICCS. It should be highlighted that this guideline differs to some extent from previous guidelines, based on historical studies, in which there was no differentiation between NMNE and MNE, contrary to current understanding. …

La revista Index de Neurología y Psiquiatría. 1938-1946: Los inicios neuropsiquiátricos de Pichon-Rivière

This paper begins by analyzing the role of scientific journals in shaping scientific specialties. In this context, the main characteristics of the journal Index. Revista Ibero-Americana de Analisis Bibliograficos de Neurologia y Psiquiatria [Journal of Iber-American Bibliographic Analysis in Neurology and Psychiatry], better known as Index in Neurology and Psychiatry are analyzed. This Journal began to be published in Argentina in July 1938 and continued at least until July 1946. The Journal’s editor was the renowned neurologist Roque Orlando and Enrique Pichon-Riviere was Managing Editor. In the journal, Enrique Pichon-Riviere (1907-1977) wrote 78 book reviews. Both the origin of the reviewed works and the subject matter of them are analyzed. Then, a classification of those reviews in four categories is proposed, and the main characteristics of each one of them are pointed out. Finally, the paper analyzes such books reviews as a part of the early thought of Pichon-Riviere, discussing as well the thesis of the institutional isolation of Pichon Riviere. Concerning its method, the paper is a retrospective ex post facto study, in which the research was conducted in the Archives of the Library of the Medical Sciences School at Buenos Aires University.

Cyp450 Geno-Phenotype Analysis: Application of Ceiba Cocktail To Mexican Populations

e156 Volume 37 Number 8S Extremadura, Badajoz, Spain; Colegio de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Quito, Ecuador; and Servicio de Laboratorio, Hospital de los Valles, Quito, Ecuador Introduction: According to EMA recommendations, development of phenotyping procedures for drug interactions studies and clinical research are highly recommended, due to the discordances found between genotypes determined of the main CYP enzymes and their actual enzymatic activity. Recently, CEIBA cocktail approach to measure metabolic activity of the main CYPs in just one experiment has been designed. However, its optimal design remains to be elucidated, which is the main objective of this research, in order to appropriately select the sample to be analyzed and an optimal single time point for the analysis, to avoid diminish costs and discomfort to the volunteers without compromising the reliability of the results. Material and Methods: Thirteen healthy subjects were given low oral doses of 100mg caffeine, 25mg losartan, 20mg omeprazole and 30 mg dextromethorphan, and blood and urine samples were taken at different time points (predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12h) to assay the concentration and pharmacokinetic parameters (AUC). The MRs for CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 were calculated at each time point and their correlation with AUC ratios calculated. All subjects were genotyped. Results: The cocktail was well tolerated and single time point MRs at 4h or 6h (only for CYP2C9) after dosing showed high correlations with corresponding AUC ratios and can, therefore, be proposed as simple phenotyping metrics. On the other hand, metabolic ratios in urine samples were not comparable to plasma ratios. Conclusion: This cocktail was proven to reliably reflect the selected CYPs activities for the evaluation of CYPs hydroxylation capacity. The proposed simplified sampling scheme could facilitate clinical application of CYPs phenotyping with one blood sample collection, in a single analysis.
