Authors: Mintii Mykhailo M.
Published: January 2023

The focus of the study is on choosing the pedagogical conditions that will best prepare STEM teachers to utilize augmented reality tools in their classrooms. 20 conditions were initially proposed during a brainstorming session and were then sorted into five groups: (1) conditions relating to the material support of the educational process, (2) methods and forms of training, (3) best practices for utilizing augmented reality in education, (4) unique circumstances made in order to achieve the goal of training STEM teachers; and (5) conditions relating to the psychological and pedagogical support of students. A survey was conducted with 94 participants to determine the importance of these conditions. The processing of the survey data allowed for the selection of the following conditions: (a) accessibility of immersive digital educational resources for STEM teachers and mobile hardware for augmented reality (laptops, tablets, smartphones, augmented reality glasses, etc.), (b) inclusion of augmented reality-related topics in STEM teachers' curricula, (c) use of research methodologies and interactive technologies in the STEM classroom, (d) having hands-on experience with the use of augmented reality technologies in STEM instruction.
Collective motion driven by nutrient consumption
Authors: Jabin Pierre-Emmanuel , Perthame Benoît
Published: January 2023

A classical problem describing the collective motion of cells, is the movement driven by consumption/depletion of a nutrient. Here we analyze one of the simplest such model written as a coupled Partial Differential Equation/Ordinary Differential Equation system which we scale so as to get a limit describing the usually observed pattern. In this limit the cell density is concentrated as a moving Dirac mass and the nutrient undergoes a discontinuity.

We first carry out the analysis without diffusion, getting a complete description of the unique limit. When diffusion is included, we prove several specific a priori estimates and interpret the system as a heterogeneous monostable equation. This allow us to obtain a limiting problem which shows the concentration effect of the limiting dynamics.

Authors: Rassameethes Bordin , Phusavat Kongkiti , Pastuszak Zbigniew , Hidayanto Achmad Nizar , Majava Jukka
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Constructive feedback has positively contributed to learning and development, especially for disengaged and underprivileged learners. The study examines whether the perceived impacts from constructive feedback are different between the male and female learners. OBJECTIVE: The objective is to assess whether there is a significant difference in the perception between the male and female learners in their response to constructive feedback. Three circumstances are under study-general feeling towards constructive feedback, perceived impacts on belongingness and happiness, and perceived impacts on the frequency of physical, verbal, and psychological bullying. METHODS: There are 482 learners who participated in the surveys, 185 male and 297 female learners. Statistical analysis is applied to gain more insights into the surveys. A follow-up small session is organized to enhance the findings. RESULTS: It appears that the impacts from constructive feedback on the learners’ genders are apparently minimal within the context of three circumstances. Thus, the perception of the learners who are disengaged and underprivileged is relatively comparable. CONCLUSIONS: The findings contribute to dealing with the disengaged learners in a workplace (and a school). Despite the insignificant difference based on the gender, other issues relating to design and delivery of constructive feedback should be further investigated.

Authors: Zhu Min , Tang Minglu , Du Yifeng
Published: January 2023

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brings heavy burden to society and family. There is an urgent need to find effective methods for disease diagnosis and treatment. The robust rank aggregation (RRA) approach that could aggregate the resulting gene lists has been widely utilized in genomic data analysis. Objective: To identify hub genes using RRA approach in AD. Methods: Seven microarray datasets in frontal cortex from GEO database were used to identify differential expressed genes (DEGs) in AD patients using RRA approach. STRING was performed to explore the protein-to-protein interaction (PPI). Gene Ontology enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses were utilized for enrichment analysis. Human Gene Connectome and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis were used for functional annotation. Finally, the expression levels of hub genes were validated in the cortex of 5xFAD mice by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: After RRA analysis, 473 DEGs (216 upregulated and 257 downregulated) were identified in AD samples. PPI showed that DEGs had a total of 416 nodes and 2750 edges. These genes were divided into 17 clusters, each of which contains at least three genes. After functional annotation and enrichment analysis, TAC1 is identified as the hub gene and may be related to synaptic function and inflammation. In addition, Tac1 was found downregulated in cortices of 5xFAD mice. Conclusion: In the current study, TAC1 is identified as a key gene in the frontal cortex of AD, providing insight into the possible pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets for this disease.

Authors: Chalasani Rama Devi , Radhika Y.
Published: January 2023

ITK inhibitor is used for the treatment of asthma and activity of inhibitor prediction helps to provide better treatment. Few researches were carried out for the analysis and prediction of kinases activity. Existing methods applied for the inhibitor prediction have limitations of imbalance dataset and lower performance. In this research, the Posterior Probabilistic Weighted Average Based Ensemble voting (PPWAE)ensemble method is proposed with various classifier for effective prediction of kinases activity. The PPWAE model selects the most probable class from the classification method for prediction. The co-train model has two advantages: Features are trained together to increases the learning rate of model and probability is measured for each model to select the efficient classifier. Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), Decision Tree (DT), Classification and Regression Tree (CART), and Nave Bayes were among the classifiers employed. The results suggest that the Probabilistic Co-train ensemble technique performs well in kinase activity prediction. In the prediction of ITK inhibitor activity, the suggested ensemble method has a 74.27 percent accuracy, while the conventional SVM method has a 60% accuracy.

Authors: Noor Mohamed Sheerin Sitara , Srinivasan Kavitha
Published: January 2023

Recent technological developments and improvement in the medical domain demands advancement, to address the issue of early disease detection. Also, the current pandemic has resulted in considerable progress of improvement in the medical domain, through online consultation by physicians for different diseases using clinical reports and medical images. A similar process is adopted in developing a Visual Question Answering (VQA) system in the medical field. In this paper, existing medical VQA datasets, appropriate techniques, suitable quantitative metrics, real time challenges and, the implementation of one VQA approach with algorithms and performance evaluation are discussed. The medical VQA datasets collected from multiple sources are represented in different perspectives (organwise, planewise, modality-type and abnormality-type) for a better understanding and visualization. Then the techniques used in VQA are subsequently grouped and explained, based on evolution, complexity in the dataset and the need for semantics in understanding the questions. In addition, the implementation of a VQA approach using VGGNet and LSTM is carried out for existing and improved datasets, and analyzed with accuracy and BLEU score metrics. The improved datasets, created through dataset reduction and augmentation approaches, resulted in better performance than the existing datasets. Finally, the challenges of the medical VQA domain are examined in terms of datasets, combining techniques, and modifying the parameters of existing performance metrics for future research.

Published: January 2023

Diagnosis of human disease is a more difficult and complex process since it requires the consideration of various factors and symptoms to make a decision. Generally, the classification of diseases with fuzzy values is the most interesting topic because of accurate results. In this paper, we design a Bat-based Random Forest (BbRF) framework to enhance the performance of categorizing diseases with fuzzy values which also protect the privacy of the developed scheme. It involves pre-processing, attributes selection, fuzzy value generation, and classification. Additionally, the developed framework is implemented in Python tool and patient disease datasets are used for implementation. Moreover, pre-processing remove the error and noise, attributes are selected based on the duration of diseases. Finally, classify the patient disease based on the generated fuzzy value. To prove the efficiency of the developed framework, attained results are compared with other existing techniques in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F-measure, and precision.

Authors: Chen Bo , Cai Qiang , Wei Guiwu , Mo Zhiwen
Published: January 2023

This paper intends to treat the green supplier selection (GSS) problem as a multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problem, adopt the linguistic Z-number that can more flexibly and accurately express the evaluation information, and expand the traditional multi-attribute boundary approximate area comparison (MABAC) method, combine the CRITIC method of standard importance and consider the risk vector to finally determine the optimal solution. More specifically, the linguistic Z-number is used to describe the fuzzy evaluation information of experts on alternatives under attributes, then the expanded CRITIC method is used to obtain the weight of each given attribute, and finally the MABAC method with added risk vector and expanded is used to obtain the ranking of alternatives and obtain the best solution. Finally, taking green supplier selection as an example, and comparing with other methods, the reliability and effectiveness of the constructed method are verified. The results show that this method can express the evaluation information of experts flexibly and completely, and obtain the ranking results of given schemes through fewer steps, which is reliable and effective.
Validation of the Single Breath Count Test for Assessment of Inspiratory Muscle Strength in Healthy Subjects and People with Neuromuscular Disorders
Authors: Klein Eike , Dräger Bianca , Boentert Matthias
Published: January 2023

Objective: This study aimed to validate the single breath count test (SBCT) against volitional measures of respiratory muscle function in healthy subjects and people with neuromuscular disorders (NMD; n = 100 per group). Methods: Testing comprised upright and supine SBCT, forced vital capacity (FVC), maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP). Predictability of FVC by SBCT was assessed using logarithmic regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristics curves were used to identify SBCT thresholds for lung restriction (FVC < 80% predicted), inspiratory muscle weakness (MIP < 60 cmH2O), and indication for non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in NMD patients. Results: In both groups, SBCT showed moderate correlation with FVC. In patients, SBCT values were also correlated with MIP and SNIP. Strength of correlations was similar with supine and upright SBCT which accounted for 23.7% of FVC variance in healthy individuals (44.5% in patients). Predictive thresholds of upright SBCT were < 27 for MIP < 60 cmH2O (sensitivity 0.61/specificity 0.86), <39 for NIV indication (0.92/0.46), and <41 for FVC < 80% predicted (0.89/0.62). Conclusion: The SBCT is positively correlated with spirometry. It predicts both lung restriction and NIV indication in NMD patients. The SBCT allows for remote monitoring and may substitute for spirometry/manometry if appropriate devices are unavailable.
The Affiliate Stigma Scale: Psychometric refinement and validation of a short form in Turkish spinal cord injury/disorder caregivers
Authors: Kuzu Duygu , Perrin Paul B. , Pugh Mickeal
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Despite the widespread international use of the Affiliate Stigma Scale in the context of disability, much research on its psychometric properties has taken dubious statistical approaches. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Affiliate Stigma Scale in a sample of Turkish spinal cord injury/disorder (SCI/D) caregivers. METHODS: Participants completed the Affiliate Stigma Scale, Zarit Burden Interview, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7. This study conducted a series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) of the Turkish Affiliate Stigma Scale using its originally theorized 3-factor structure and a 1-factor structure, as well as an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to refine the scale items to create a short form, with a final CFA of the items in the short form. RESULTS: The 3-factor and 1-factor CFAs of the 22 items from the Affiliate Stigma Scale suggested poor fit to the data across every fit index. An EFA yielded four factors, although the patterns of item loading onto the factors did not map in any discernible way to the original subscales theorized by the scale creators. A 1-factor CFA with the six items loading onto factor 1 of the EFA showed much better fit indices, with most achieving good or adequate fit. CONCLUSION: The current study supports a 1-factor solution with a short form comprised of six items, at least in Turkish and with SCI/D caregivers.

Authors: Hines Emily A. , Farr Ellen M. , Rhudy Lori M. , Chesak Sherry S. , Kinzelman Vesely Elissa A. , Esterov Dmitry
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Acquired brain injury (BI) is associated with negative mental health outcomes for both people with BI, their caregivers (CG), and patient-CG dyads, which may be mitigated through increased resilience. However, little is known regarding the efficacy of resilience interventions focused on CGs of individuals with BI, as well as dyads, which may be instrumental for positive outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the evidence of the efficacy of resilience interventions focused on CGs and/or dyads of individuals with BI. METHODS: A search of MEDLINE, Embase, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL with Full Text, Scopus, SCIE, and ESCI was conducted. Each title and abstract were screened by two authors independently. Each full text review, study data extraction, and study quality assessment was performed independently by two authors. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tool. RESULTS: Out of 11,959 articles retrieved, 347 full text articles were assessed for review and 18 met inclusion criteria for data extraction and quality assessment. Resilience interventions were stratified into 5 different categories based on the type of intervention. CONCLUSION: This systematic review suggests that dyadic/CG resilience interventions may improve mental health related outcomes, but conclusions were limited secondary to heterogenous outcomes and lack of a standardized resiliency construct. Future efforts are compulsory to create a standardized resiliency construct and associated outcomes focused on persons with BI, their CGs, and dyads.

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Practice guidelines and research results emphasize the need for dyadic interventions targeting psychosocial outcomes such as depression, anxiety, social function, physical function, and health-related quality of life. Resilience interventions have been proposed as one strategy to influence these outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this observational pilot study was to determine the feasibility and acceptability of the Resilient Living program among persons with stroke or brain tumor (BT) admitted for comprehensive acute inpatient rehabilitation and/or their family caregivers. A secondary aim was to gather preliminary data to assess the effects of the program on quality of life, stress, anxiety, physical function, sleep disturbance, fatigue, resilience, dyadic coping, and caregiver role overload. METHODS: The Resilient Living program is a psychosocial intervention with a focus on building resilience skills. Feasibility and acceptability outcomes were assessed at the end of the study. Quantitative outcome measures were collected at baseline, 12 weeks, and 6 months post the intervention. RESULTS: Eight patients and eight caregivers completed the study. The intervention was feasible with this population. Participants found the intervention useful and appreciated the flexibility of an online program; however, finding time to engage in it was challenging. Recruitment of eligible patients with acquired brain disorders and their caregivers as a dyad was challenging. CONCLUSION: The study confirms prior research suggesting that interventions targeting resilience are feasible, but larger studies with more rigorous methods are needed to appreciate the influence of resilience interventions in persons with brain disorders and their caregivers. Further research is needed to identify the characteristics of those most likely to benefit from resilience interventions and the optimal timing of such interventions.

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: People with traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lack awareness of their own emotions and often have problems with emotion dysregulation, affective disorders, and empathy deficits. These impairments are known to impact psychosocial behaviors and may contribute to the burden experienced by care partners of individuals with TBI. OBJECTIVE: To examine the associations of emotional awareness, emotional functioning, and empathy among participants with TBI with care partner burden. METHOD: This multisite, cross-sectional, observational study used data from 90 dyads (participants with TBI and their care partner) 1-year post-injury. Participants with TBI completed the Difficulty with Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS; Awareness, Clarity, Goals, Impulse, Nonacceptance, and Strategies subscales); PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version; NIH Toolbox Anger-Affect, Hostility and Aggression Subdomains; PHQ-9; GAD-7; and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (empathic concern and perspective taking subscales). Care partners completed the Zarit Burden Inventory (ZBI) and provided demographic information. RESULTS: Care partners were predominately female (77%), and most were either a spouse/partner (55.2%) or parent (34.4%). In an unadjusted model that included assessments of emotional awareness, emotional functioning, and empathy of the participant with TBI, the DERS-Awareness and NIH-Hostility subscales accounted for a significant amount of variance associated with care partner burden. These findings persisted after adjusting for care partner age, relationship, education, and the functional status of the participant with TBI (β= 0.493 and β= 0.328, respectively). CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that high levels of hostility and low emotional self-awareness can significantly affect the burden felt by TBI care partners.

Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Problem-Solving Training (PST) during inpatient rehabilitation could provide care partners the skills needed to manage their life roles after discharge. OBJECTIVE: Determine the feasibility of PST+ Education versus Education for care partners of adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI) during inpatient rehabilitation. METHODS: We conducted a multisite randomized feasibility trial across three sites. We present recruitment rates, reasons for refusal to participate, and reasons for non-completion of interventions. We measured client satisfaction, participant engagement, and fidelity for both interventions. We compared change in depressive symptoms and caregiver burden between PST and Education groups. RESULTS: Though the interventions were generally feasible, recruitment and retention rates were lower than anticipated largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants who completed >3 sessions were less likely to be employed full-time and more often spouses and co-residing. Length of inpatient rehabilitation stay was correlated with number of sessions completed. We observed potential benefits of PST over Education, specifically for reducing depression symptoms and caregiver burden. CONCLUSION: High satisfaction, engagement, and fidelity, overall recruitment and retention, and positive change in outcomes suggest that PST is generally feasible and beneficial for care partners of persons with TBI. Adaptations, such as developing a 3-session version of PST, could improve feasibility.

Authors: Rasmussen Mari S. , Howe Emilie I. , Andelic Nada , Soberg Helene L.
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: A strength-based approach in the rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is recommended for patients and their families. However, further exploration of the complexity of individual and family factors is needed. OBJECTIVE: To explore the associations between individual protective resources in patients and family members and the overall family functioning using a strength-based approach. METHODS: Secondary analysis of data collected at baseline in a randomized controlled trial. Structural equation modeling with two latent constructs and six observed variables was performed. Outcome measures included the Resilience Scale for Adults, the Mental Component Summary (SF-36), the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale-IV. RESULTS: Hundred and twenty-two participants (60 patients, 62 family members) with a mean age of 43 years were included at a median of 11 months post-injury. The final model demonstrated a strong covariance (coefficient = 0.61) between the latent Protective construct and Family functioning. Model-fit statistics indicated an acceptable fit to the data. CONCLUSION: Higher levels of protective resources (resilience, self-efficacy, and mental HRQL) were positively associated with family functioning. These resources should be further assessed in patients and their families, to identify factors that can be strengthened through TBI rehabilitation intervention.
Predictors of caregiver burden in caregivers of individuals with traumatic or non-traumatic brain injury: A scoping review
Authors: Kjeldgaard Amanda , Soendergaard Pernille Langer , Wolffbrandt Mia Moth , Norup Anne
Published: January 2023

BACKGROUND: Caregivers of individuals with traumatic (TBI) or non-traumatic (nTBI) brain injuries are at risk of significant caregiver burden. Consequently, it is crucial to examine predictors of caregiver burden to enable early identification and intervention. OBJECTIVE: To examine predictors of caregiver burden in caregivers of individuals with TBI/nTBI. METHODS: A scoping review was conducted in the bibliographic databases PubMed, EMBASE (Ovid) and APA PsycInfo (EBSCO). Search terms included: ‘acquired brain injur*’, ‘traumatic brain injur*’, ‘brain injur*’, ‘non-traumatic brain injur*’, or ‘stroke*’ combined with ‘burden’, ‘caregiver burden’, ‘perceived burden’, or ‘caregiver strain’. The search was limited to articles written in English and published in academic journals between 2000 and March 2022. EndNote was used to manage the references and identify duplicates. RESULTS: Twenty-four studies were included. Care recipient-related predictors of caregiver burden included more severe injuries, functional disabilities (including decreased physical and neuropsychological functioning), and worse mental health. Caregiver-related predictors included more time spent caregiving, worse mental health, and unmet needs. For several predictor variables, evidence was mixed or vague. CONCLUSION: The results highlight which caregivers are at risk of caregiver burden and point to several areas of potential intervention to prevent caregiver burden. Future research should explore the relationship between characteristics of the caregiver and caregiver burden, including coping style, problem-solving techniques, and personality, as these have been sparsely investigated and are potentially modifiable through intervention. Further research is needed to elucidate if burden can be prevented by interventions targeting caregivers at risk. Addressing these gaps may clarify the link between caregiver burden and predictor variables and assist in development of interventions that may prevent burden.

Published: January 2023

PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore stander use in individuals with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). METHODS: This mixed method research study employed a survey with categorical and open-ended questions related to stander use. Categorical responses were analyzed quantitatively. Qualitative analysis of open-ended responses was linked to the International Classification of Function. Qualitative and quantitative results were merged to derive meta-inferences. RESULTS: Of 147 respondents, 28.6% (n = 42) reported stander use. Equipment used included sit-to-stand stander (n = 27), power standing feature in a wheelchair (n = 13), and unspecified equipment (n = 2). Economic services were the most common barrier to stander obtainment. Age of loss of ambulation (LOA) and age of start of stander use were positively correlated (r = 0.61, p < 0.0001, n = 36), with 59.5% initiating stander use after LOA. Twenty-nine respondents reported standing less than the recommended dose of 60–90 minutes at least five days a week, with frequency directionally less than five days per week (p = 0.06) and time significantly less than 60–90 minutes (p = 0.002). Respondents’ total dose was significantly lower than the recommended 300 minutes (p = 0.02). Lack of time and presence of contractures contributed to decreased duration of use. CONCLUSION: This study provides a greater understanding of stander use among individuals with DMD and can assist with decision making about stander use prior to complications of disease progression to promote optimal health despite reported barriers.

Published: January 2023

Kemungkinan kejadian yang diakibatkan kegagalan satu atau lebih komponen jaringan seperti keluarnya satu saluran dari sistem disebut dengan kontingensi saluran (N-1). Keluarnya salah satu saluran transmisi dari sistem tenaga listrik baik yang disebabkan oleh gangguan atau pemeliharaan dapat menyebabkan terjadinya perubahan-perubahan dalam sistem seperti naik atau turunnya tegangan yang diluar batas standar dan pembebanan lebih pada saluran. Keaman suatu sistem tenaga apabila salah satu saluranya keluar dari sistem dapat ditinjau dengan analisa kontingensi saluran.Dalam simulasi ini konfigurasi jaringan transmisi disesuaikan dengan sejumlah skema kontingensi saluran N-1 yang telah ditetapkan.  Ada 3 skema kontingensi yang disajikan dari 10 skema yang telah ditetapkan, yaitu satu skema operasi normal dan dua skema kontingensi yang menyebabkan sistem dalam kondisi tidak aman untuk beroperasi. Simulasi ini bertujuan untuk meninjau perubahan profil tegangan setiap bus baik dalam keadaan normal maupun dalam  kondisi kontingensi.Hasil simulasi aliran daya untuk skema operasi 0 (kondisi Normal) memperlihatkan bahwa profil tegangan setiap bus masih dalam kondisi aman. Dimana peningkatan tegangan yang tertinggi pada bus 8 dengan besar tegangan 70,90 kV atau 1.3% lebih tinggi dari tegangan nominal 70 kV. Sedangkan penurunan tegangan yang terendah pada bus 7 dengan nilai tegangan 67,32 kV atau 3,83% lebih rendah dari tegangan nominal.Dari 10 skema simulasi kontingensi saluran yang dilakukan ada dua skema yang tidak aman untuk opersi sistem yaitu skema 6 dan skema 2 berdasarkan urutan. Sedangkan 8 skema lainya relatif aman untuk opersi sistem karena peningkatan dan penurunan tegangan tidak melampaui nilai deviasi dari tengangan nominal (berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral Nomor : 03 Tahun 2007 : CC 2.1).
RELATIONAL DATABASE WORK OPTIMIZATION OF THE TRANSPORT INFORMATION SYSTEM
Authors: Saiapina I.
Published: January 2023

Informatization of society poses new challenges and requirements for information systems in transport, which are responsible for data processing and storage. A significant number of performance problems in developed applications are related to databases, because often poor database performance directly affects the application's slowdown. For the normal functioning of the processes of diagnostics of rolling stock and automation systems, decision-making, and the formation of reports in the transport industry, the task of optimizing the management of databases and ensuring their productivity under the condition of simultaneous multi-user access arises. The article discusses the stages of query execution and approaches to increasing the efficiency of the query optimizer. The main factors that depend on the performance of queries in information systems based on relational databases are analyzed. Optimization criteria can include such performance estimates as time required to generate a report, query execution time, speed of finding data in non-indexed fields, maximum number of simultaneous accesses to data in multi-user mode, speed of indexing, as well as update, delete and add operations.

Published: January 2023

Pobreza, desigualdad, falta de acceso a derechos son realidad en las chabolas y periferias brasileñas e impactan directamente a la calidad de vida de estos territorios en los que se desarrollan también pequeñas iniciativas que vislumbran un futuro más sostenible. Este trabajo de investigación discute lo que se conoce como encrucijadas sociales de innovación (Rufino 2019), que son intervenciones hechas en las roturas del sistema y que funcionan como una forma de transgresión/impugnación de las instituciones ya establecidas. Son desarrolladas por un emprendedor social “a la brasileña” —o virador (Souza Neto 2003)— cuya impugnación puede ser vista a partir de sus nuevas formas de hacer, conocer, encuadrar y organizar (Haxeltine et al. 2016), presentadas en 3 casos: Barkus, negocio social de educación financiera para jóvenes y adultos; G10, red de las 10 chabolas de mayor poder de compra en el Brasil, y Olabi, espacio de democratización de tecnologías para transformación social. A partir de ahí, se identifican 7 lecciones sobre las características clave de este tipo de innovación social. En conclusión, se determina que las encrucijadas sociales de innovación de Brasil son motores para la transformación social, las que abren camino a modelos alternativos de futuro con enfoque en el desarrollo local sostenible y en la mejoría de la calidad de vida de las poblaciones vulnerables.

La declaración de pandemia a causa del brote y propagación mundial de la COVID-19 provocó enormes cambios, en diversos ámbitos de la sociedad, en donde las personas tuvieron que adaptarse y utilizar la tecnología como medio para continuar. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo identificar de qué manera América Latina se adaptó a dicha pandemia por medio del uso de las TIC. Se tomó como referencia diversos estudios relacionados al trabajo, a la educación y a la interacción social, así como estadísticas en materia de tecnología e innovación. La metodología fue revisión sistemática de la literatura (SRL) con cuatro fases: planeación, selección, extracción y ejecución. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que empresas como Zoom, Meta y TikTok aprovecharon el momento y escalaron exponencialmente; en cuanto a la educación superior, surgieron muchas interrogantes acerca de la calidad de la educación y se pasó de manera emergente de una modalidad presencial a una virtual. América Latina aceleró considerablemente su transformación digital y se espera que a corto y mediano plazo continúe esta tendencia como respuesta al efecto de la pandemia.

La contribución es un estado del arte sobre la gobernanza. La metodología empleada se basó, en un análisis bibliométrico a partir de criterios búsqueda y herramientas métricas de las bases de datos de Scopus y Web of Science así como de la minería de texto utilizando el programa VOSviewer. Para el análisis cualitativo se utilizó una unidad hermenéutica en el programa Atlas.ti conformada por las contribuciones más citadas en Scopus. Los principales resultados son que existe un abordaje amplio y extenso de la gobernanza desde su surgimiento; las tendencias investigativas más relevantes están asociadas con la influencia de la gobernanza en la gestión de acciones contra la COVID-19, el gobierno organizacional y los aspectos globales, y existe una dispersión temática en el abordaje de la gobernanza y una tendencia predominante a utilizar sus argumentos como fundamento para analizar casos específicos. Se observó numerosos tipos de gobernanzas y campos de aplicación. Se identificaron nichos investigativos que necesitan mayor análisis como: estudios longitudinales de la sostenibilidad de los pactos a través de la gobernanza, los elementos psicosociales que inciden en las redes de gobernanza y la captura del Estado por partes de integrantes de las redes en beneficio propio.

Cancer, due to its high lethality rate, generates negative feelings, which can modify family performance and cause great suffering. With this, it predisposes both the patient, caregivers and family members to the development of mental disorders. Of these, the most common are depression and anxiety. Based on the importance of the aforementioned scenario and the need to know the reality in the State of Amapá, the levels of anxiety and depression of outpatients and their companions at the High Complexity Oncology Unit of the State of Amapá were analyzed comparatively. Amapá, through a qualitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study, applying a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. After analysis, we found in this study a sociodemographic profile compatible with that expected for the State and similar to those of regions with a low level of socioeconomic development in the various variables analyzed. In addition, it was found in the present study that companions are possibly more depressed than anxious, a fact confirmed by statistical tests. This differs from the findings pointed out in other literature, in which anxiety is more reported than depression. Thus, it was concluded that in addition to strengthening public health policies, there is a need to strengthen a broad family approach, as well as the need for further studies aimed at elucidating the divergence found in the anxiety category.

A sociedade, em qualquer de suas camadas, sempre procurou preservar costumes, lendas e tradições que a identifica. Posto isto, a identidade cultural de um povo compreende o compartilhamento de um conjunto de significados, atitudes, valores e de patrimônios comuns (língua, religião, manifestações artísticas etc.), incluindo as formas simbólicas em que eles são expressos como afirmara Sylvia Couceiro em Os desafios da história cultural, de 2002.

O ingresso do estudante na faculdade é marcado por diferentes processos de transição e adaptação, além de questões referentes a sua vivência pessoal e familiar, o que pode influenciar durante o início da sua vida acadêmica, até mesmo no decorrer do curso (ALMEIDA et al., 2000). Para Teixeira e colaboradores (2008), diversos fatores podem se tornar barreiras de aprendizado para o estudante, porém, há necessidade de que tais fatores sejam detectados e trabalhados para que o estudante possa ter melhoras de aproveitamento durante o curso de Graduação, fazendo com que este possa se adaptar da melhor forma, garantindo sua permanecia no curso pois, possivelmente, aqueles que se adaptam melhor terão mais chances de possuir um melhor desempenho acadêmico. Segundo Almeida (2000) os principais fatores que interferem no processo de adaptação do estudante, entre a transição do ensino médio para o superior, dizem respeito às seguintes dimensões: pessoal, acadêmica e o contexto em si. Os anos iniciais da vida acadêmica do estudante de Graduação são importantes, pois o sujeito está propenso a vivenciar experiências novas nunca vividas durante o ensino médio, como o desenvolvimento de habilidades, cobranças e tarefas acadêmicas. Dessa forma, o aluno precisa assimilar tudo que está aprendendo de novo e ainda tentar organizar isso tudo com sua vivência, dentro de um limite de tempo, mas alguns acabam não conseguindo administrar essa nova etapa de vida. A Faculdade FAM visa possibilitar a reflexão crítica sobre a prática pedagógica com vista à melhoria do ensino. Além disso, tem como objetivos específicos definir a identidade, a diferenciação e a originalidade do curso, trazer novas perspectivas ao curso, antecipar e promover as mudanças necessárias, reformular disciplinas, caracterizar o perfil docente, criar mecanismos de avaliação permanente a fim de atingir a excelência desejada na qualidade de ensino. Além disso, o Projeto Pedagógico define as características do profissional que o curso pretende oferecer ao mercado; articular a questão do ensino com o compromisso profissional e transformações sociais, na medida em que possibilita a formação de profissionais éticos que se antecipam aos problemas da realidade e que atendam às demandas do Progresso Científico, Tecnológico e Social. Para tanto, faz-se necessária uma estreita relação entre o corpo docente e discente, para que haja uma melhor compreensão sobre esta fase de transição acadêmica, assim como trocas de experiências com seus pares, para que haja encaminhamentos e redimensionamentos pedagógicos que satisfaçam o aprendizado e permanecia desse aluno durante o curso de graduação.
O nutricionista inserido na Estratégia Saúde da Família frente à transição nutricional no Brasil
Authors: Freitas Vitória Souza de
Published: January 2023

A sociedade brasileira tem sofrido profundas mudanças em suas estruturas, que podem ser caracterizadas como transições epidemiológicas, demográficas e nutricionais. A transição nutricional pode ser entendida como um problema de Saúde Pública, devido ao seu elevado alcance populacional de suas consequências e deve vigorar nas agendas de políticas em saúde do governo. Para que essas políticas sejam descentralizadas e de fato efetivadas, é necessário que os equipamentos em saúde busquem soluções e propostas de enfrentamento para essa realidade. Dessa forma, a Estratégia Saúde da Família vem a assegurar a efetividade dessas iniciativas, uma vez que são os dispositivos que estão em contato mais direto com a população e devem suscitar o acolhimento como um modo de aumentar a capacidade de lidar com essa problemática. Para a construção do presente trabalho, foram pesquisados artigos científicos que se encontram na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde da Atenção Primária à Saúde (BVS APS), no Google Scholar, Scielo, documentos e dados disponíveis online pelo Ministério da Saúde para que informações a respeito da interseção entre o trabalho do nutricionista, a transição nutricional e a Estratégia Saúde da Família pudessem ser coletadas. Conclui-se que o profissional nutricionista pode ser visto como o mais capacitado para gerir programas de políticas públicas nos mais diversas esferas governamentais e apresenta conhecimento aplicado e aprofundado em relação ao tema e sua categoria deve ser valorizada e figurar como parte da equipe principal da ESF.
