Cervical Cancer: Definition, Prevention and Treatment

Cervical cancer is still considered a public health pathology in developing countries due to the lack of preventive examinations by the public health system and often due to other factors that place this neoplasm as the third cause of death in women in Brazil, especially in regions with lower financial and educational resources. Risk factors such as smoking, exposure to Human Papillomavirus (HPV), many sexual partners, onset of sexual activity before age 18, many pregnancies and poor hygiene still occur in the North, Northeast, and Midwest regions. Correct and early diagnosis are closely linked to success in treating and curing the disease. Treatment will depend on staging of the disease, and may be surgical or accompanied by chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy (Teletherapy and/or Brachytherapy). Primary prevention is also of paramount importance in the identification of pre-lesions that, if unidentified and properly treated, can progress to cancer and lead to death. Therefore, we can conclude that cervical cancer is still a disease that leads many women to death in developing countries and that it must be identified and treated immediately after its correct diagnosis and staging and, when the correct treatment happens, the chances of healing are greater than 80%.
Realidade Virtual e Educação

Atualmente, a tecnologia está presente na sociedade e nos mostra diferentes meios de interação. A Realidade Virtual (RV) é uma dessas maneiras, de modo que sua aplicação tem trazido novas experiências imersivas em diversos âmbitos, como na educação. Logo, é possível observar que atividades externas à sala de aula contribuem para a formação do aluno, através de excursões que podem proporcionar experiências em ambientes que levam o conhecimento de maneira prática. Com isso, a empresa Google resolveu explorar o uso da RV nas instituições de ensino através da criação do dispositivo Cardboard Glasses, para que os estudantes pudessem conhecer diversas localidades sem sair de sala de aula. Partindo desse princípio, a motivação deste trabalho consiste em auxiliar os professores das disciplinas de Geografia e Ciências aplicando a ferramenta Cardboard e o aplicativo Expeditions como recurso metodológico no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de alunos do 2o, 6o e 9o anos do ensino fundamental em escolas municipais, proporcionando aos estudantes maior interação e dinamismo nos conteúdos abordados nessas disciplinas. O ponto de partida consistiu na fabricação dos óculos, que a partir dos produtos originais foram produzidos outros moldes por meio da coleta de refugos de papelão. A pesquisa incluiu alunos colaboradores do Ensino Médio do IFAM Campus Lábrea, que receberam treinamentos para aplicação da ferramenta e dispuseram seus smartphones para serem utilizados em sala de aula. No total, 141 discentes puderam participar da pesquisa e explorar os conteúdos abordados em sala de aula de maneira imersiva e lúdica.

Algorithmic Analysis of Finite-Source Multi-Server Heterogeneous Queueing Systems

The paper deals with a finite-source queueing system serving one class of customers and consisting of heterogeneous servers with unequal service intensities and of one common queue. The main model has a non-preemptive service when the customer can not change the server during its service time. The optimal allocation problem is formulated as a Markov-decision one. We show numerically that the optimal policy which minimizes the long-run average number of customers in the system has a threshold structure. We derive the matrix expressions for performance measures of the system and compare the main model with alternative simplified queuing systems which are analysed for the arbitrary number of servers. We observe that the preemptive heterogeneous model operating under a threshold policy is a good approximation for the main model by calculating the mean number of customers in the system. Moreover, using the preemptive and non-preemptive queueing models with the faster server first policy the lower and upper bounds are calculated for this mean value.
Overview of Pathogens causing Nosocomial Infections in Various Wards of a Tertiary Health Care Hospital and their Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern - A Prospective Surveillance Study

The major problem encountered in recent days due to the advent of emerging antimicrobial resistance strains is Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs). The spread of HAI is mainly through the hospital staff and the hospital settings’ inanimate surfaces. The study includes the surveillance of hospital surfaces, including wards and ICUs, by taking swabs dipped in normal saline. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (53.8%) was found to be the most common pathogen isolated, followed by Klebsiella species (18%), Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (16%), Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci (6%), Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (3%). The widespread presence of bacterial sensitivity to antimicrobials and the modifications insensitivity forms the basis for designing antibacterial therapy’s practical recommendations and rational use of antimicrobials. Proper display of all Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials at appropriate places play a significant role in preventing nosocomial infections. Audiovisual aids and training to the staff play utmost importance in preventing the spread of HAIs. All these can reduce the occurrence and outbreak of nosocomial conditions. Overall, these minimize health care costs.
Complexity In The Context of Palliative Care: A Scoping Review

Background: Understanding the factors of complexity of patients in palliative care is very important for healthcare providers in addressing the care needs of their patients. However, the healthcare providers’ perception of the factors of complexity in palliative care lacks a common understanding. This study aimed to determine the scope of research activities and specific factors of complexity in the context of palliative care.Methods: A scoping literature review was performed, following the methods described by the Joanna Briggs Institute. We conducted an electronic literature search in MEDLINE (Ovid), PsycINFO, Web of Science Core Collection, and CINAHL, examining literature from May 1972 to 2020.Results: We identified 32 peer-reviewed articles published in English before 2020. The target literature mainly originated in Europe and the United States. The research methods included quantitative studies (n=13), qualitative studies (n=12), case studies (n=3), and reviews (n=4). We reviewed 32 studies and summarized the factors of complexity into three levels: the patient’s level, the healthcare setting level, and the socio-cultural landscape level. We identified factors affecting patient-specific complexity, including sex, race, age, living situation, family burden, resources, treatment, decision-making, communication, prognosis, disease, and comorbidity/complexity. Other factors identified as contributing to patient complexity were the interaction of physical, psychological, social, and spiritual categories, as well as the healthcare providers’ confidence and skills, and the socio-cultural components.Conclusions: This scoping review shows specific factors of complexity and future challenges in the context of palliative care. Future research should include the factors of complexity identified in this review and conduct longitudinal studies on the interactions among them. In addition, it is necessary to examine specific complexity factors in patients from various social and ethnic backgrounds.
Processing of Rainfall Time Series Data in the State of Rio de Janeiro

The goal was to perform the filling, consistency and processing of the rainfall time series data from 1943 to 2013 in five regions of the state. Data were obtained from several sources (ANA, CPRM, INMET, SERLA and LIGHT), totaling 23 stations. The time series (raw data) showed failures that were filled with data from TRMM satellite via 3B43 product, and with the climatological normal from INMET. The 3B43 product was used from 1998 to 2013 and the climatological normal over the 1947- 1997 period. Data were submitted to descriptive and exploratory analysis, parametric tests (Shapiro-Wilks and Bartlett), cluster analysis (CA), and data processing (Box Cox) in the 23 stations. Descriptive analysis of the raw data consistency showed a probability of occurrence above 75% (high time variability). Through the CA, two homogeneous rainfall groups (G1 and G2) were defined. The group G1 and G2 represent 77.01% and 22.99% of the rainfall occurring in SRJ, respectively. Box Cox Processing was effective in stabilizing the normality of the residuals and homogeneity of variance of the monthly rainfall time series of the five regions of the state. Data from 3B43 product and the climatological normal can be used as an alternative source of quality data for gap filling.
Differential Membrane Lipid Profiles and Vibrational Spectra of Three Edaphic Algae and One Cyanobacterium

The membrane glycerolipids of four phototrophs that were isolated from an edaphic assemblage were determined by UPLC–MS after cultivation in a laboratory growth chamber. Identification was carried out by 18S and 16S rDNA sequencing. The algal species were Klebsormidium flaccidum (Charophyta), Oocystis sp. (Chlorophyta), and Haslea spicula (Bacillariophyta), and the cyanobacterium was Microcoleus vaginatus (Cyanobacteria). The glycerolipid profile of Oocystis sp. was dominated by monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) species, with MGDG(18:3/16:4) accounting for 68.6%, whereas MGDG(18:3/16:3) was the most abundant glycerolipid in K. flaccidum (50.1%). A ratio of digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) species to MGDG species (DGDG/MGDG) was shown to be higher in K. flaccidum (0.26) than in Oocystis sp. (0.14). This ratio increased under high light (HL) as compared to low light (LL) in all the organisms, with its highest value being shown in cyanobacterium (0.38–0.58, LL−HL). High contents of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5) and hexadecenoic acid were observed in the glycerolipids of H. spicula. Similar Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectra were found for K. flaccidum and Oocystis sp. Specific bands at 1629.06 and 1582.78 cm−1 were shown by M. vaginatus in the Raman spectra. Conversely, specific bands in the FTIR spectrum were observed for H. spicula at 1143 and 1744 cm−1. The results of this study point out differences in the membrane lipid composition between species, which likely reflects their different morphology and evolutionary patterns.
Application of artificial intelligence in chest imaging for COVID-19

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has threatened public health. Medical imaging tools such as chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) play an essential role in the global fight against COVID-19. Recently emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies further strengthen the power of imaging tools and help medical professionals. We reviewed the current progress in the development of AI technologies for the diagnostic imaging of COVID-19.Current Concepts: The rapid development of AI, including deep learning, has led to the development of technologies that may assist in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, prediction of disease risk and prognosis, health index monitoring, and drug development. In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, AI can improve work efficiency through accurate delineation of infections on chest X-ray and CT images, differentiation of COVID-19 from other diseases, and facilitation of subsequent disease quantification. Moreover, computer-aided platforms help radiologists make clinical decisions for disease diagnosis, tracking, and prognosis.Discussion and Conclusion: We reviewed the current progress in AI technology for chest imaging for COVID-19. However, it is necessary to combine clinical experts’ observations, medical image data, and clinical and laboratory findings for reliable and efficient diagnosis and management of COVID-19. Future AI research should focus on multimodality-based models and how to select the best model architecture for COVID-19 diagnosis and management.

: Problems related to lack of skill in translating must find solutions, by conducting research on the analysis of translation techniques about the roots of words and derivatives about the terms about emotional intelligence, from English to Indonesian in a case study on the translation book Working with Emotional Intelligent by Daniel Goleman. Based on the results of a literature study, there were also no studies that have investigated the term translation techniques that focus on root words and derivative forms. Then, research is carried out with a qualitative research approach. The result is the word class of the term emotional intelligence generally is a noun, adjective, and verb; translation technique is established equivalence, transposition, discursive creation, both for root word and derivative.
Knowledge, attitude and perception toward radiation hazards and protection among dental undergraduates, interns and dental surgeons – A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study

Background: Radiograph in dentistry is a routine tool in the diagnosis of maxillofacial conditions. It makes the use of ionizing radiations which are harmful to the oral tissues. To minimize those detrimental effects, it becomes imperative to have a thorough knowledge about the ionizing radiations, radiation hazards and radiation protection measures. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to formulate an assessment with regard to the knowledge, attitude, and perception (KAP) of dental students, internees, and dental professionals toward ionizing radiations, radiation hazards and protocols of radiation protection. Materials and Methods: The study consisted of 120 undergraduates (3rd year and 4th year) Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) students who have completed their 30 days of posting in the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, 31 interns and 19 dental practitioners (n = 170). The participants were subjected to a structured questionnaire with multiple choices. The data was collected, compiled and subjected to statistical analysis using, SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version17.0. (SPSS Inc., Chicago). Pearson Chi-square test was used to evaluate the statistical significance. Results: The present study revealed an overall correct response of 60.0%. Individually, 3rd year students gave a correct response of 50.0%, followed by 61.3% correct response by 4th year students, 64.3% by interns, and 64.5% by the dental practitioners. Conclusion: The KAP level mentioned in the objectives was significantly higher in dental practitioners and least with undergraduate students. Thus, the outcome of the present study stresses on the need for incessant teaching so that the students are grounded well with the principles of dental radiography.
A CASE STUDY ON MEASUREMENT OF TEMPERATURE RISE IN CONCRETE AND ASSESSMENT OF PROBABILITY OF CRACKING DUE TO HEAT OF HYDRATION

Experimental study was carried out to investigate the temperature rise characteristics of the concrete used in a prototype component of foundation for Interchange station of Nagpur Metro Rail Project, Nagpur, Maharashtra State. The actual temperature rise was measured by embedding Thermo Couples – Resistance temperature detector (RTD) in the prototype structure during concreting. The measurements were taken at 5 locations in the component – a pile cap by inserting 3 thermo couples (TC’s) at each location totaling to 15 in all. The monitoring of temperature recorded by thermocouples was done by digital recorder manually on hourly basis up to 13 days and then once in 3 hrs. up to next 21 days and beyond but restricted to 14 days in this reporting. The temperature at the time of insertion i.e. initial/starting temperature was noted and maximum temperature reached, the time to reach peak temperatures was recorded. The plot of time-temperature demonstrated the actual temperature rise, its trend both increasing and decreasing. The derived temperature rise equations with strong correlation coefficient “r” values could be used to predict the early age temperature rise in structures with similar geometry, concrete, weather conditions, curing and form removal. Another purpose of this study is to know the probability of cracking based on the existing cracking assessment based on Korean methods as Indian specifications are non-existent and also to find the crack index for internally restraint cases based on temperature difference, both the elastic; hypoelastic models. The study indicated that the existing provisions based on crack index appear to be very conservative which tend to overestimate the probability of crack occurrence compared with construction observations on prototype structures.
Cheetah: Accelerating Database Queries with Switch Pruning

Modern database systems are growing increasingly distributed and struggle to reduce the query completion time with a large volume of data. In this poster, we propose to leverage programmable switches in the network to offload part of the query computation to the switch. While switches provide high performance, they also have many resource and programming constraints that make it hard to implement diverse database queries. To fit in these constraints, we introduce the concept of data pruning - filtering out entries which are guaranteed not to affect the output. The database system then runs the same query, but on the pruned data, which significantly reduces the processing time. We propose a set of pruning algorithms for a variety of queries. We implement our system, Cheetah, on a Barefoot Tofino switch and Spark. Our evaluation on the Berkeley AMPLab benchmark shows up to 3x improvement in the query completion time compared to Apache Spark.

The trade-offs of brokerage in inter-city innovation networks

ABSTRACT Brokers play a critical role in the evolution of innovation systems by accessing and diffusing external knowledge. However, while brokers’ activity allows benefits for the entire system, it entails costs for those who play the broker role. Using patent data to analyse inter-city networks in Latin America, we identify broker cities and estimate the effects of brokerage on patenting outcomes between 2006 and 2017. Our findings reveal that cities holding a central position in the network show higher patenting activity; however, being a broker, particularly connecting Latin American cities with the rest of the world, negatively influences patenting outcomes.
Genetische Ideen in der Analysis I

Die seltene Gelegenheit, als Didaktiker eine Analysis-I-Vorlesung halten zu können, hat zu einer moderaten Neukonzeption dieser klassischen Vorlesung geführt, die evolutionär genetischen Ideen mehr Raum gibt, als das traditionell der Fall ist. In diesem Beitrag werden einige dieser Ideen erörtert.
Get waivered remote: Nationwide, remote DEA-x waiver course in response to COVID-19

Problem As of 2020, less than 5% of physicians in the United States have a drug enforcement administration-X waiver to prescribe buprenorphine. The coronavirus-2019 pandemic restricted in-person gatherings, including traditional drug enforcement administration-X waiver courses. As a result, in-person conferences have needed to adopt remote formats. Many programs identified a gap between educational delivery and the faculty skills required to deliver content remotely. Approach To address the need for high-quality remote learning, Get Waivered designed and implemented a novel experience for clinicians, called Get Waivered Remote. An educational session was live-streamed via Zoom™. To foster interactivity, like in-person didactic conferences, participants were polled to facilitate discussion among presenters, learners, and facilitators during the broadcast Outcomes The RE-AIM framework was used for evaluation. Our program had a Reach encompassing 814 users that participated during the live-streamed event; Effectiveness with 73.79% reporting being somewhat familiar or very familiar with the practice of opioid dependency treatment with approved buprenorphine medications; Adoption with 95.15% reporting a favorable experience and 92.23% reporting it was similar or more enjoyable than their usual teaching; Implementation with 450 messages sent by 281 users to engage with presenters and other learners via Zoom chat in real time. Next steps Get Waivered Remote provides a proof-of-concept that a broadcast with a concurrent, interactive remote learning platform is feasible, low cost, and simple to execute. Further study is required to assess the ability of our group to maintain this innovation and also to measure its impact on the treatment of opioid use disorder.
Factors That Are Related to the Compliance of Blood Sugar Control in Mellitus Type 2 Diabetation Patients in the Cipondoh Puskesmas Working Area in 2019

: According to the IDF (2015) in 2015 as many as 10 million people in Indonesia suffering from diabetes with a prevalence of 6.25%. Based on data from the health center Cipondoh Type 2 diabetic patients by 2018 as many as 2132 people. 2019 January - May 2019 722 patients with diabetes mellitus type2. The aim of research to determine the factors associated with adherence to blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Puskesmas Cipondoh 2019. Design Crossectional, samples of 31 patients. Method Simple Random Sampling, data analysis methods chi-square. The study was conducted in January-July 2019. Results of the univariate highest proportion of adherent patients control blood sugar at 51.6%, of patients with a positive attitude amounted to 71.0%, of patients with the poor motivation of 61.3%, the patient didn’t receive support family of 51.6%, of patients with a good knowledge of 67.7%. There is a relationship between patient motivation (PR = 4.105, 95% CI: 1.117 to 15.086), family support (PR = 2.578, 95% CI: 1.046 to 6.353) with blood sugar control compliance. It’s expected that the clinic made the book as a reminder patient compliance is indirectly carried out by the health center.
