DSP2 for sex determination of miscegenated contemporary hip bones.

The bones of the human pelvis are used in sexual diagnosis generating a high level of accuracy for this type of identification. Morphological and/or morphometric methods are used in the identification of sex. Sexual dimorphism may be affected by ethnic differences in the population. One of the methods for determining sex using hip bone is the 'Diagnose Sexuelle Probabiliste (DSP)' or Probabilistic Sexual Diagnosis (DSP) method. The method presents a new version (Probabilistic Sexual Diagnosis v.2-DSP2) more advisable to be used because it has a more up-to-date database. The objective of this study is to investigate the applicability of the DSP2 method in a population in the Northeast region of Brazil. We used 128 hip bones, 50 female and 78 males, aged between 17 and 101 years, belonging to the Laboratory of Human Identification and Forensic Osteology of the University Federal Government of Pernambuco. The research was conducted between 2019 and 2020 and approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Pernambuco no. 43228015.0.0000.5208. The probability equal to or greater than 0.95 was used as the limit for the determination of sex, and the results were compared with the actual sex of each bone. In the Brazilian collection study, it was observed that the percentage of sex estimation provided by the DSP2 tool using all reference samples was 71.09%, and accuracy was 64.06%. In the analysis of the gender estimate, 82.0% and 78% were obtained for females and males, respectively. Regarding accuracy, it was 64.10% and 55.13% for females and males, respectively. In the contemporary osteological collection of the Northeast region of Brazil, which presents immigrant peoples, we obtained a high index of assertiveness in the DSP2 method. The study concluded that the DSP2 method is important for determining the sex of human skeletons in a miscegenated population.

Youth empowerment in health: a theoretical structure of literacy practices.

OBJECTIVE: To develop a theoretical structure on literacy practices committed to health empowerment, based on the understanding of school adolescents and members of a Quilombola community in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. METHOD: Interpretative analysis, based on the assumptions of the Grounded Theory and Symbolic Interactionism. For data collection, Culture Circles were conducted with 18 adolescents from October 2020 to August 2021. RESULTS: The theoretical archetype is structured based on the recognition of vulnerable youth context, and the development of potential through collective relations built by dialogue, trust, shared knowledge construction, and the use of technologies. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The theoretical structure on literacy practices committed to empowerment through the understanding of adolescents runs through the framework of a substantive theory that culminates in a perspective of agency and recognition of their needs.

RESUMEN Objetivo: Elaborar una estructura teórica sobre prácticas de alfabetización comprometidas con el empoderamiento en salud, basada en la comprensión de los adolescentes escolares y miembros de una comunidad Quilombola, en el Estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. Método: Análisis interpretativo, basada en los supuestos de la Teoría Fundamentada y el Interaccionismo Simbólico. Para la recolección de datos, los Círculos culturales se llevaron a cabo con 18 adolescentes desde octubre de 2020 hasta agosto de 2021. Resultados: El arquetipo teórico se estructura de acuerdo con el reconocimiento del contexto juvenil en vulnerabilidad, y el desarrollo del potencial mediante relaciones colectivas construidas por el diálogo, la confianza, la construcción compartida del conocimiento y el uso de las tecnologías. Consideraciones finales: El marco teórico sobre las prácticas de alfabetización comprometidas con el empoderamiento a través de la comprensión de los adolescentes pasa por el marco de una teoría sustantiva que culmina en una perspectiva de protagonismo y reconocimiento de sus necesidades.

RESUMO Objetivo: Elaborar uma estrutura teórica sobre práticas de letramento comprometidas com o empoderamento em saúde com base na compreensão de adolescentes escolares e integrantes de uma comunidade Quilombola, no Estado de Pernambuco, Brasil. Método: Análise interpretativa alicerçada nos pressupostos da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados e o Interacionismo Simbólico. Para a coleta dos dados, foram realizados Círculos de Cultura com 18 adolescentes no período de outubro de 2020 a agosto de 2021. Resultados: O arquétipo teórico se estrutura consoante ao reconhecimento do contexto juvenil em vulnerabilidade, e o desenvolvimento do potencial pelas relações coletivas edificadas pelo diálogo, confiança, construção compartilhada do conhecimento e o uso das tecnologias. Considerações finais: A estrutura teórica sobre práticas de letramento comprometidas com o empoderamento pela compreensão dos adolescentes perpassa pelo arcabouço de uma teoria substantiva que culmina em uma perspectiva de protagonismo e reconhecimento de suas necessidades.
