The loss of a child: the long term impact upon the parent-child bond
No full textResearch has been carried out from a psychological perspective, to examine the effects of bereavement in families when they have experienced the loss of a baby, child, teenager or young adult. This has involved interviewing parents in Lebanon, Tanzania and Uganda. The results were then compared to previous research carried out by the author in England (For a M.Phil. in Theology titled, ‘Bereavement in Families who have lost Babies, Children and Teenagers; An Empirical and Theological Study’. Birmingham University , 1995). Using the collective data, the theory of Shadow Grief is investigated in terms of whether it is a genuine condition within bereaved parents, as compared to other grief reactions such as chronic grief, disenfranchised grief or pathological grief.
It was found that the bond between a parent and child was a particularly deep rooted affectionate bond. There are similarities between this bond and Bowlby’s concept of attachment theory. Parents from the English sample showed some signs of maintaining a bond with the deceased many years after the loss. This was seen to a lesser extent in the African context. This requires further research to clarify this effect both in the English culture and cross-culturally, looking at a broader section of communities where child loss had taken place. Grief therapists need to be more aware of the long lasting effects that the loss of a child has upon a parent, especially those who are bereaved of older children
Interações entre Euterpe edulis Mart. (Arecaceae) e insetos visitantes florais em sistema agroflorestal na Ilha de Santa Catarina
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Agrárias, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Agroecossistemas, Florianópolis, 2010O trabalho objetiva estudar a biologia reprodutiva de Euterpe edulis, descrever visitantes florais, analisar diversidade e frequência destes e identificar possíveis polinizadores em sistema agroflorestal na Ilha de Santa Catarina. Trinta indivíduos foram observados através de andaimes para verificação de fenologia, morfologia floral, sistema reprodutivo, produção de néctar e visitação por insetos durante duas temporadas de floração, de novembro de 2008 a março de 2010. As plantas apresentaram média de 4,2 cachos de flores, com média de 103 ráquilas, flores masculinas e femininas na proporção de 3:1. Floração iniciou em setembro e durou até março. Ambas as flores produziram néctar. E. edulis é alógamo, podendo ser autopolinizado através da sobreposição de inflorescências. Abelhas sociais foram Apis mellifera, Plebeia droryana, P. remota, P. emerina e outros Meliponini. Em 2008/2009, nas masculinas, a frequência média foi 91,1 visitas/h e nas femininas 130,9 visitas/h. Em 2009/2010, nas masculinas, a frequência média foi 109,1 visitas/h e nas femininas, 156,6 visitas/h. Foram 72 espécies/morfoespécies de insetos de 18 famílias, pertencentes às ordens Hymenoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera e Lepidoptera. Abelhas e moscas foram mais frequentes, visitando flores masculinas durante a manhã e femininas durante todo o dia. Frutificação iniciou duas semanas após o início da floração. Maturação dos frutos ocorreu de julho a setembro/2009. Em 2009/2010, as palmeiras formaram em média 2,3 cachos de frutos e a quantidade de frutos por cacho foi 2100. Considerou-se polinizador efetivo A. mellifera, P. droryana, P. remota, P. emerina, Neocorynura sp., Augochlora sp1., Dialictus sp1. (Apoidea), espécies de Muscidae, Syrphidae e Calliphoridae (Diptera). Abelhas sociais sem ferrão (Meliponini) foram os visitantes mais frequentes e podem ser criadas em caixas racionais através da meliponicultura, aumentando a formação de frutos de açaí em sistema agroflorestal.The aim of this research was to study the reproductive biology of Euterpe edulis, to describe floral visitors, to analise their diversity, and frequency and to identify likelly pollinators of this palm in an agroforestry system in Santa Catarina Island. Thirty individuals were observed using a scaffold in order to check phenology, floral morphology, reproductive system, nectar presentation, and visiting by insects during two flowering periods, from November 2008 to March 2010. The species presented an average of 4,2 clusters of flowers, with an average of 103 rachillae, male and female flowers at 3:1 proportion. Flowering period began at September and lasted until March. Both the flowers produced nectar. E. edulis is allogamous but could be self-pollinated though inflorescences overlapping. Social bees visiting were Apis mellifera, Plebeia droryana, P. remota, P. emerina and other Meliponini. In 2008/2009, in male flowers, the average frequency was 91,1 visits/h and in female ones, 130,9 visits/h. In 2009/2010, in male ones, the average frequency was 109,1 visits/h and in female ones, 156,6 visits/h. 72 species/morphoespecies of insects were differentiated belonging to 22 families, from Orders Hymenoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. Bees and flies were the most frequent and they visited male flowers during the morning and female flowers throughout the whole day. Fructification initiated two weeks after the beginning of flowering period. Fruit maturation occurred from July to September 2009. In 2009/2010 period, palms formed an average of 2,3 clusters of fruits and quantity of fruits per cluster reach an average of 2100. Were considered effective pollinator A. mellifera, P. droryana, P. remota, P. emerina, Neocorynura sp., Augochlora sp1., Dialictus sp1. (Apoidea), Muscidae, Syrphidae and Calliphoridae species (Diptera). Social stinglessbees (Meliponini) were the most frequent visitors and can be raised in wood boxes by meliponicultura, increasing assai fruit formation in agroforestry system
“The Peer Educator Is the Game-Changer of My Life”: Perceptions of Adolescents Living with HIV in DR Congo on Involving Peer Educators in the Process of HIV Disclosure
No full textSeveral approaches to the disclosure of HIV status to children and adolescents have been described. Each of these places particular emphasis on the role of parents and health care workers (HCWs) to mitigate the impact of disclosure on the adolescent without exploring the possible roles that other individuals might play in the process of disclosure. This article assesses the perceptions of adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) about disclosure done by parents, guardians, HCWs, peer educators in the role of peer supporters, accidentally or by self-discovery, and the subsequent effects of disclosure method on their mental health. We used a qualitative study to conduct semi-structured interviews with 73 ALHIV at the Kalembelembe Paediatric Hospital, in DR Congo disclosed to by parents, guardians, HCWs, and/or peer educators, respectively, or disclosed to accidentally or by self-discovery. Microsoft Excel analysis matrix was used to organize the qualitative data. The majority of ALHIV whose disclosure involved a peer educator unanimously acknowledged the important role of the peer in accepting their HIV status, in their ART adherence, and their development of self-esteem. However, most ALHIV disclosed without involving peers declared that they had accepted their situation after a relatively long period followed by contact with the peer and integration in the self-support group. We found that the peer approach is the game-changer of the HIV status disclosure process that would allow ALHIV to accept their HIV status with minimum distress, it builds resilience, and allows them to adhere to treatment.publishedVersio
Lessons Learned from the Impact of HIV Status Disclosure to Children after First-Line Antiretroviral Treatment Failure in Kinshasa, DR Congo
No full textHIV status disclosure to children remains a challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. For sociocultural reasons, parents often delay disclosure with subsequent risks to treatment compliance and the child’s psychological well-being. This article assesses the effects of HIV disclosure on second-line ART compliance after first-line failure. We conducted a retrospective study of 52 HIV-positive children at Kalembelembe Pediatric Hospital in Kinshasa who were unaware of their HIV status and had failed to respond to the first-line ART. Before starting second-line ART, some parents agreed to disclosure. All children were followed before and during the second-line ART. Conventional usual descriptive statistics were used. For analysis, the children were divided into two groups: disclosed to (n = 39) and not disclosed to (n = 13). Before starting the second-line ART, there was no difference in CD4 count between the two groups (p = 0.28). At the end of the first year of second-line ART, the difference was statistically significant between the two groups with regard to CD4% (p p = 0.001). The children disclosed to also reported fewer depressive symptoms post-disclosure and had three times fewer clinic visits. HIV status disclosure to children is an important determinant of ART compliance and a child’s psychological well-being

HIV Disclosure to Infected Children Involving Peers: A New Take on HIV Disclosure in the Democratic Republic of Congo
No full textAppropriately informing HIV-infected children of their diagnosis is a real challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. Until now, there is no consensus on who ought to disclose and how to disclose. This paper describes the model for HIV status disclosure in which HIV-positive children/adolescents are informed about their diagnosis in a process conducted by young peers under healthcare worker (HCW) supervision in a hospital in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of Congo. This new take on HIV status disclosure involving peers includes four stages that help the trained peer supporters to provide appropriate counseling, taking into account the age and level of maturity of the child/adolescent: the preliminary stage, the partial disclosure stage, the full disclosure stage, and the post-disclosure follow-up stage. Of all children/adolescents whose HIV status disclosure data were documented at Kalembelembe Pediatric Hospital (KLLPH) between 2004 and 2016, we found that disclosure by peers was highly accepted by parents, children/adolescents, and health workers. Compared to children/adolescents disclosed to by HCWs or parents, children/adolescents disclosed to by peers had (a) fewer depressive symptoms reported, (b) better drug adherence resulting in higher viral load suppression, and (c) a higher proportion of survivors on treatment. We found that involving peers in the disclosure process of HIV is an important approach to ensure adherence to treatment, resilience, and mental wellbeing of HIV-infected children/adolescents.publishedVersio
Potentiel d’indication chirurgicale de l’épilepsie en milieu neuropsychiatrique a Kinshasa : cas du centre de santé mentale Telema : étude préliminaire
No full textBackground and objectives
Approximately 30% of epilepsy patients do not respond to medical treatment and are potential candidates for surgical treatment whose indication is based on the electro-clinical and imaging data. The objective of this study was to describe anthropometric and clinical characteristics and evolution under treatment of epileptic patients, documenting the level of investigation of this pathology to identify patients potentially eligible for surgery.
Methods
We conducted a descriptive documental study covering a period of 2 years. The variables of interest included: anthropometric data, the characteristics of epilepsy, treatment data, the level and results of complementary investigations.
Results
A total of 1184 new epilepsy cases were included. The median age was 19 years with a sex ratio M / F 1.1. Sixty-eight percent of patients had an age of onset below 20 years and over 90% had generalized tonicclonic seizures. During treatment, seizures freedom was observed in 31% of patients and 22% had persistent or worsening. The EEG was performed in 17% of patients and CT scan was at 0.8%. Twenty percent of patients had received at least two antiepileptic drugs. Approximately 26% of patients followed for 2 years or more were considered refractory.
Conclusion
Epilepsy affects patients in school age and young adults who are ideal candidates for surgery in cases of drug resistance. However pathology remains less investigated. A broader investigation program will identify particularly lesional epilepsy in order to submit these patients to an evaluation for neurosurgical treatment

Adelmo Genro Filho e a teoria do jornalismo no Brasil: uma análise crítica
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia Política, Florianópolis, 2015.A afirmação de Adelmo Genro Filho, em "O Segredo da Pirâmide: para uma teoria marxista do jornalismo", de que o jornalismo é uma forma de conhecimento cristalizada no singular mobilizou jornalistas, pesquisadores e professores nos últimos 27 anos para instituição e legitimidade das teorias do jornalismo no Brasil. Com o arcabouço teórico e filosófico da Ontologia Crítica de Marx e Lukács, este estudo expõe as mediações presentes na produção e recepção da teoria, bem como os conceitos filosóficos que fundamentam a assertiva de Genro Filho. O trabalho divide-se em duas partes interdependentes. Na primeira, são trabalhadas as principais questões que se impunham para o jornalismo brasileiro nos anos 1980 (com ênfase para a formação acadêmica, a escrita jornalística e a hierarquia dos profissionais), a biografia do autor e o modo como o livro foi recepcionado pelos professores e pesquisadores em jornalismo no Brasil. A segunda parte reconstitui as bases filosóficas do livro, recuperando o entendimento ontológico do autor e o modo como esses fundamentos otimizam sua compreensão do jornalismo como forma de conhecimento. O objetivo é o de demonstrar como as escolhas teóricas do autor possuem estreita ligação com sua biografia e o modo como ele compreendia as questões de sua época. Ao passo que, por meio de análise do modo de recepção do livro, foi possível estabelecer uma cartografia da produção brasileira com base em 411 textos que citam "O Segredo da Pirâmide", evidenciando que o processo de institucionalização para a defesa do jornalismo como profissão, graduação especializada e com teorias específicas coincide com esse mapa. Paradoxalmente, demonstra-se que o processo de recepção do livro se faz acompanhar de uma negação da peculiar base marxista que o fundamenta, o que motiva o estudo detalhado das categorias utilizadas por Genro Filho.Abstract : In the book ?O Segredo da Pirâmide: para uma teoria marxista do jornalismo" [?The Secret of the Pyramid: for a Marxist theory of journalism"], Adelmo Genro Filho stated that journalism is a form of knowledge that is crystallized in the singular. This statement has mobilized journalists, researchers and professors over the last 27 years for the institution and legitimacy of theories of journalism in Brazil. With the theoretical and philosophical framework of Critical Ontology of Marx and Lukács, this study exposes the mediations present in the production and reception of the theory and the philosophical concepts that ground the Genro Filho's statement. The work is divided into two interdependent parts. At first, the text brings the main issues that were necessary to the Brazilian journalism in the 1980s (with emphasis on the academic, journalistic writing and the hierarchy of professionals), the author's biography and how the book was received by professors and researchers on journalism in Brazil. The second part reconstitutes the philosophical bases of the book, recovering the ontological understanding of the author towards journalism and how those fundamentals optimize the understanding of journalism as a form of knowledge proposed by the author. The objective was to demonstrate how the author's theoretical choices have close connection with his biography and how he understood the issues of his time. Simultaneously, through the analysis about the book's reception, it was possible to establish a cartography of the Brazilian production based on 411 texts mentioning "The Secret of the Pyramid", evidencing that the process of institutionalization for the defense of journalism as a profession, specialized graduation and with specific theories coincides with that map. Paradoxically, it is demonstrated that the book's reception process is accompanied by a denial of peculiar Marxist basis underlying it, which motivates the detailed study of the categories used by Genro Filho
