Primary Care has been one of the bases of Brazilian medical care for offering Brazilian citizens more access to complex levels of care in order to prevent and treat various diseases. From there, it seeks to promote more well-being for everyone, without distinction. For the above, the general objective is to carry out a systematic review regarding the new financing policy for Primary Health Care (PHC). The new model began in 2019 with the launch of a new policy aimed at PHC in the Unified Health System (SUS), entitled Previne Brasil. This policy introduced significant changes in relation to the financing of PHC to municipalities. The research method adopted to achieve the proposed objective was the systematic review, as it is a type of review that combines the results of multiple primary studies (with the same design) related to a specific problem. It is an important part of the process of creating and organizing a body of literature, and should have the same levels of clarity, rigor and replication as primary research.
Shear wall analysis and optimised design for high rise buildings using ETABS
Authors: Balakrishna Chintala , Saishanker S N
Published: May 2022

Increased population density in India necessitates the development of urban areas in particular. Structural engineers in seismic zones around the planet also put pressure on multistory structures to be built with inconsistencies in stiffness, because they realize that these structures will be subject to seismic loading. In comparison to prior high-rise buildings, today's high-rise skyscrapers are more appealing and thin, which contributes to the chance of more sway. The dynamic response of tall buildings will be monitored by developing basic methodologies for tall buildings. With more appropriate construction types, such as shear walls and tube structures, as well as improved material qualities. The integrated structural operation of floor and roof structures with walls is overall project standard of current wall construction frameworks for behavior walls. The floor structure distributes vertical and lateral stresses to the walls, which are then transferred to the foundation, which acts as a diaphragm. Shear walls that are comparable to lateral charge method resist lateral forces from wind and earthquakes. Shear resistance and resistance to overturning allow these shear walls to transmit lateral stresses to the base. The current study covers a 45-story building with a platform up to the fourth floor level.

Authors: Elwasif Salwa Mahmoud , Megahed Mohamed Osama , Elmoghazy Ghalia , Derbalah Safaa Awad
Published: May 2022

Background and Aims: End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is a global health problem. It necessitates renal replacement therapy via renal transplantation, peritoneal dialysis, or hemodialysis. Vascular access is mandatory for every patient maintained on hemodialysis. It is a prerequisite for adequate hemodialysis (HD). Platelets play the most important role in securing vascular access function. Patients and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 87 patients who underwent intermittent HD via arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Patients were divided into two groups. Group1 (Study group): patients with recent thrombosed AVF within a week of laboratory investigation. Group2 (Control group): patients with well-functioning AVF Evaluation of patients: Results:  The mean platelet volume (MPV), Plateletcrit (PCT), and platelet diameter width (PDW) were 10.43, 0.222, and 13.56 in the study group respectively while in the control group they were 10.11067, 0.201944 and 12.9. MPV/PL count was significant between the two groups. Conclusion: The study found that the larger the platelet indices, the more vascular access malfunctions. The MPV/PL ratio can be used to examine the function of vascular access and estimate its lifespan that continuous monitoring of that ratio might be effective in detecting the risk of AVF in patients receiving regular hemodialysis.
Solvent evaporation method of preparation of nanoparticle and in-vitro drug release study of Methylphenidate Hydrochloride
Authors: Singh Anju , Kumar Ajay
Published: May 2022

The purpose of this work was to develop Methylphenidate Hydrochloride nanoparticles, which would reduce dose frequency. Since they are non-toxic and may be utilised to construct long-acting dosage forms, polymeric nanoparticles have gained a lot of attention in recent years. Congestive heart failure, edoema, and renal failure are among the disorders for which the diuretic melphenidate hydrochloride is prescribed. Because of their exceptional stability, polymeric nanoparticles are an excellent substrate for long-term release. In other words, the half-life of methylphenidate hydrochloride (2.4 hours for children, and 2.1 hours for adults) is so short that it is only effective for a very short duration. Nanoparticles are the primary subject of this investigation. Using Eudragit RL 100 as a release retardant is possible. Therapeutic effectiveness is increased by maintaining a consistent plasma concentration of Methylphenidate Hydrochloride from nanoparticles. The new methylphenidate hydrochloride sustained release formulation proved to be a success in reducing the issues associated with the previous one.

Published: May 2022

E-mail is one of the most widely recognised channels of communication, whether for personal or corporate purposes. The worst part about spam emails is that they intrude on user’s privacy without their consent, and the constant bombardment of spam mails fills up the user's entire email space. Additionally, the issue of wasting network capacity and time checking and deleting spam mails makes it an even more concerning issue. Although confrontation tactics are constantly being upgraded, the results of those methods are now unsatisfactory. Furthermore, phishing emails have been on the rise in recent years. To combat the issue of phishing emails, more effective phishing detection technology is required. We intend to create a phishing email detection tool that analyses the email structure first, using an upgraded Convolutional Neural Networks model with multilayer vectors and Long Short-Term Neural Network (LSTM) to model emails at the email header, character level, email content, and word level all at the same time. To assess the efficacy, we'll use an unbalanced dataset with actual phishing and genuine email ratios. The total accuracy of the experiment achieves a high percentage.

Published: May 2022

Inflammation is an important defense mechanism evolved by the host to defend against external threats. But an excessive inflammatory response can lead to a variety of inflammatory diseases. Macrophage M1 polarization is a key factor in inducing inflammatory response, and inhibiting macrophage M1 polarization is of great significance for regulating inflammatory diseases. PACAP is an anti-inflammatory neuropeptide, but its mechanism of action on macrophage polarization and inflammatory responses is unclear. The macrophage M1 polarization and inflammation model was constructed using lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and then treated with PACAP. The results showed that PACAP significantly inhibited the LPS-induced expression of M1 polarization marker genes and inflammatory factors in macrophages, and down-regulated the phosphorylation of IKK2/IκBα/NF-κB, while PACAP also inhibited the phosphorylation of JNK/p38. Thus， PACAP improved LPS-induced macrophage M1 polarization and inflammatory response by regulating NF-κB and MAPKs signaling pathways.

Authors: Rafi R , Robina K , Zahoor MJ , Abbas HG
Published: May 2022

Maize and Sorghum crops have been cultivated for thousands of years for overcoming the increasing demand for food, especially in Asia and Africa. Sorghum and maize are stress-sensitive crops because they can’t tolerate drought or salinity stress. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of different stress conditions on maize and sorghum varieties. The research study was carried out with the possible involvement of biogas wastewater and drainage wastewater for investigation of their impacts on plant growth and development. Seeds of maize and sorghum varieties were subjected to different osmotic levels in order to compare the effects of drought, wastewater, and biogas wastewater effects. The results showed that maize was more susceptible to drought stress than sorghum. The applications of biogas wastewater induce stress tolerance in maize and sorghum seedlings to improve seedling growth and development. It was concluded that the use of biogas wastewater in field crop conditions of maize and sorghum may be helpful to improve crop production.

Published: May 2022

The Karuvannur River is an important river of Kerala that drains into the Northern part of Vembanad Kole wetland system, a Ramsar site. Urbanisation, changes in land-use practices and unscientific sand mining have resulted in the deterioration of water quality and also increases the water shortage especially during extreme summer season. Deforestation, for food fodder and fuel wood, and indiscriminate sand mining in the catchments area have resulted the drop of water table level of the area. Unscientific land-use and cropping pattern changes in a watershed, often cause problems in water conservation, both in upland and down streams. In a watershed both uplands and down streams are closely interlinked. The nature and extent of their linkage specially in a forested ecosystem needs more attention. The Karuvnnur watershed has a total extend of 956.95 km2 and drainage density was estimated as 1.104. In the present study efforts have been made to use Remote Sensing data and GIS Techniques for mapping and monitoring of the vegetation pattern of the watershed area. It is found that 36.48% of watershed area is covered by forests, plantation (Rubber and Teak) occupies 5.49% of the area, and 1.35% of the area by scrublands. Reservoir and other water bodies occupy 9.08% of the watershed area.
Impact of different forest plantations and cropping systems on reclamation of Sodic soils
Authors: Tripathi K. , Singh Bajrang
Published: May 2022

Transformation of barren lands into productive ecosystems needs an intensive effort to develop desired land use systems, corresponding to degree of soil deterioration. In highly sodic soils, several constraints viz. high pH and ESP, low carbon and nitrogen, poor water permeability, a low microbial diversity, crusting, hard setting of Kankar pan (Ca CO3 layer) in sub-soil, interfere to the root penetration and plants growth and unless the soil is locally amended to some extent, cropping is difficult. Chemical treatment of soils with gypsum or pyrite is usually in practice for cropping which does not lead to a stable reclamation and quite a few instances are available for resodification when the cultivation is dropped for a few years. Such threats can be countered with raising the perennial plantations. Monoculture and agroforestry raising crops for commercial interest and mixed forest for environmental conservation are the two available options for adopting in balance proportions. Reclamation of sodic soil is a slow process and it cannot offset the adverse soil conditions completely even in last 4-5 decades. However some invasive species were found to be relatively more efficient in a speedy recovery such as Prosopis juliflora and Leucaena leucocephalla. Although annual cropping and afforestation both reclaim the soil but in different ways. Forests provide a reconstructed community habitat for several biotas, whereas cultivations accomplish the societal demand. It would be useful to undergo for a better proportion after due consideration of site conditions, deterioration status, drainage, water logging management, and salt tolerance potentials of the crops/plants to be considered.

Published: May 2022

The study aimed to determine the impact of social media language (also known as net language) on the formal writing skills of Mount Mary College of Education students. This study involved a total of 150 students, 60 of whom were males and 90 of whom were females, who were studying English language and French at the time of the study. The study employed a phenological research design, and a purposive sample technique was used to choose the thirty (30) participants that took part in it. The responses were mark quiz papers and group tasks, and the results were analysed. The study concluded that when people write individually, social media does have an impact on their formal writing. Students who work in groups, on the other hand, are not affected by this. Another finding of the survey was that respondents employ a wide range of social media lingo, including clipping, abbreviation, alphanumeric homophony, vowel deletion, graphone, and other slang terms, among other things. According to the results of the survey, most people type in social media or internet language when they communicate on social media to make it easier for them to communicate.

Authors: Pinelli Thaísa Pecini , Pinelli Nathalia Pecini , Tertuliano Beatriz Mansur , Araújo Taylane Soffener Berlanga de
Published: May 2022

Introduction: In the scenario of dental enamel hypoplasia, Molar Incisor hypomineralization (MIH) represents qualitative enamel developmental defects. The prevalence of MIH is approximately 13% worldwide. In addition, children affected by MIH undergo dental treatment on their first permanent molars nearly ten times as often as children without MIH. Objective: It was to carry out a systematic review of clinical studies on the use of ICON® in dental enamel hypoplasia, to discuss the advantages of this resin in patients. Methods: The present study followed a systematic review model, following the rules of systematic review – PRISMA. The search strategy was performed in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 122 articles were found. A total of 46 articles were fully evaluated and 25 were included in this study. Based on recent findings in the literature, the aesthetic results of ICON® infiltration proved to be effective, both in visual qualitative and quantitative spectrophotometric assessment. Furthermore, the infiltration of ICON® positively influenced the maintenance of the structural integrity of teeth affected by MIH, reducing the risk of enamel breakage. It also proved to be a minimally invasive treatment for tooth discoloration, less aggressive than conventional procedures. In addition to masking enamel white spot lesions, resin infiltration can involve residual enamel crystallites forming a hybrid enamel layer. Regarding the highest penetration and the highest percentages of penetration area, ICON® proved to be better than other resins such as Biscover LV (Bisco), Optiguard (Kerr Hawe), and Permaseal (Ultradent).

Authors: Gonzaga Karina da Silva , Silva Sara Alves , Munhos Matheus Maia , Kassis Elias Naim
Published: May 2022

Introduction: In the context of bone regeneration, bone defects still represent a major challenge in oral and maxillofacial clinical and surgical treatment. The biomimetic design of biomaterials by simulating the natural structure and composition of bone tissue has gradually become a point of research interest due to its advantages of simplicity and efficiency. Objective: It was to carry out a systematic review on cellular and molecular processes, as well as to present the main clinical approaches of bone regeneration for dental implants. Methods: The present study followed a systematic review model, following the rules of systematic review – PRISMA. The search strategy was performed in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: A total of 142 articles were found. A total of 84 articles were fully evaluated and 33 were included in this study. Literary findings have shown that the lack of bone in the alveolar ridges has been a major problem in functional aesthetic recovery in patients who have suffered dentoalveolar trauma. The osteoinduction process is influenced by several factors, requiring the presence of inducers, which include β-glycerolphosphate, ascorbic acid, and dexamethasone. Mesenchymal stem cells acquire the morphology and components of osteoblastic membranes and begin to express alkaline phosphatase to deposit extracellular matrix rich in calcium and certain proteins, such as osteopontin and osteocalcin. The Bio Oss® (Geistlich) biomaterial, because it is biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, and has low immunogenicity and bio stimulators, can act in the regeneration of bone tissue. Application of FRP and implant placement provides stable clinical results for severely atrophic maxilla 2-4 mm. Bovine xenograft alone and in combination with liquid FRP are both successful in achieving bone augmentation around implants and produce a small change in marginal bone level and a high implant survival rate after loading. Conclusion: Through the results of the present study, it was evidenced that the success of the dental implant is directly related to successful osseointegration.

The aim of this study was to determine color change after accelerated artificial ageing (AAA) of different composite cements that are used with veneers. Five cylindrical test specimens, 15 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick, were made from a single layer of each of the following: RelyX Veneer 3M ESPE (RX), Paracore White Coltene (PC), Solocem White Opaque Coltene (SO), Resin Duo Cement Densell (DC), Panavia V5 Paste Kuraray Noritake (PA) and Panavia F2.0 Kuraray Noritake (PF) (30 specimens altogether). The specimens were light cured following manufacturers’ instructions using a Coltolux LED (Coltene) unit. Initial color was determined using an Easyshade - Vita Zahnfabrik Spectrophotometer. Then, the specimens were subjected to AAA for two weeks (336 hours) with cycles of 4 hours of UV light at 60 °C and 4 hours of vapor condensation at 50 °C, successively, after which color was recorded again. Color change was determined for each specimen according to the difference in shade on the Vita scale before and after AAA. Results were analyzed using Kruskal Wallis test. Mean and standard deviation for each group were: RX 8.40 (1.52); PC 8.60 (3.13); SO 6.40 (3.51); DC 10.00 (0.00); PA 7.60 (3.29); PF 2.00 (0.00). The Kruskal Wallis test showed significant difference for material (p<0.05), and comparison of means showed difference between Panavia F2.0 and the other materials. A table providing equivalence between the Vita Classic and CIELAB scales was used to transfer the recorded colors to the CIELAB scale, and the color difference ΔE was calculated for each group, where ΔL, Δa and Δb are the differences in the L, a and b values before and after the AAA. The mean and standard deviation were analyzed statistically by the ANOVA test and Tukey’s test. Mean and standard deviation for each group were: RX 14.94 (2.02); PC 14.51 (4.02); SO 12.08 (4.53); DC 16.31 (0.00); PA 10.9 (3.38); PF 7.24 (0.00). The ANOVA test showed significant difference for material (p<0.05). Tukey’s test showed two groups (PF-DC, RX, PA). Under the experimental conditions of this study, it can be concluded that accelerated ageing significantly affects the color stability of the resin based cements tested.

Authors: Lozornio Eduardo Jonan Cervantes , Simões André Felipe
Published: May 2022

This study aims to analyze the economic, social, and environmental impacts caused by the development of wind projects in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, in the Southwest of Mexico and, simultaneously, to evaluate, in a synergistic way, wind energy as an effectively viable option for the Mexican energy matrix by mapping and analyzing socio-environmental and economic externalities. The development of these parks represents, in this region of the country, a successful model for reducing GHG emissions, but there are controversies such as land displacement and lack of local development, which have generated socio-environmental conflicts that remain in force today. Therefore, the methodology adopted was based on a systematic literature review, as well as on the application of semi-structured interviews conducted in field research in situ. Because of this study, it was possible to increase the compression about the following paradox: the wind farms implemented in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec contribute to mitigating GHG emissions; however, according to the results of this work, this environmental benefit did not bring any improvement in their socioeconomic vulnerabilities to local communities.

What are the Determinants of Willingness to Transfer Out Large-Scale Land in Region X of China
Authors: Lin Hua , Zhang Wen , Huang Zhiping
Published: May 2022

In 2020, the cotton output of region X accounted for 87% of the country’s total cotton output with its high degree, large-scale production. We analyzed region X's willingness to transfer land out and the main influencing factors. The results show that farmers have sufficient confidence in agricultural production and a strong willingness to expand the production scale. The higher the degree of education and policy mastery, the more willing they are to transfer out land management rights. The higher the number of labor force, the larger the area of cultivated land. When the type of crop planted is cotton, the higher the proportion of agricultural income is.

2022/11 Supreme Court judgment that may impact legislation to transpose the EU Whistleblowing Directive (IR)

On 1 December 2021, just prior to the transposition deadline for Directive (EU) 2019/1937 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law (the ‘Whistleblowing Directive’), the Irish Supreme Court delivered a judgment that may have an impact on the Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Bill, the piece of legislation intended to be enacted in order to comply with the Whistleblowing Directive. The judgment noted that, while the Oireachtas (the Irish parliament) had envisaged that most complaints for which whistleblower protection would be sought would concern matters of public interest, the actual definition of ‘protected disclosure’ in the Protected Disclosures Act 2014 (the ‘2014 Act’) extends further than that and can cover complaints in the context of employment which are personal to the reporting person. While Ireland has missed the deadline and has yet to enact the Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Bill, one of the intended amendments has been changed since this judgment was delivered.

The Effects of a Professional Development Program on the Classroom Practices of Physics Teachers
Authors: Oktay Ozlem , Eryilmaz Ali
Published: May 2022

The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of a long-term professional development (PD) program on the classroom practices of physics teachers. Changes in teachers’ practices were investigated across four dimensions: content, teaching strategy, materials/technology, and assessment. The present study used qualitative research methodology, including a case study research. Data were collected from seven participating teachers and their 9th grade students. The PD model framework has four main components: analysis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. A teacher survey, an observation form, a student group-interview protocol, treatment-fidelity and treatment-verification opinion forms were developed as measuring instruments. Thematic coding was used in every dimension. The data were evaluated using a frequency analysis and displayed in tables. The results showed that the PD program had a positive effect on teachers’ classroom practices. The more the teachers participated in each dimension of the PD program, the greater the level of positive change observed in the teachers’ lesson applications. When the results were examined in relation to teaching strategies, materials/technologies, and assessment techniques used for various purposes, there was a clear increase in the number, variety, and quality of strategies, materials, and technologies used in these dimensions.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the experiences of science teachers during the pandemic and their recommendations about the post-pandemic process. In the study, the “first period” referred to the period when the pandemic first appeared (the period between March-June 2020) and the “second period” referred to the post-summer holiday period (the period between August-November 2020). The study employed the phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods. For the study, one-on-one interviews were conducted with 16 science teachers working in the city of Sırnak. Interview data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and supported by direct quotations. Interview data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and supported by direct quotations. The study findings revealed that science teachers experienced problems in learning-teaching processes, assessment-evaluation, technical and structural situations due to the sudden transition to distance learning in the first period of the pandemic. In the second period of the pandemic, with the solving of technical and structural problems, teachers carried out a more systematic and planned teaching process compared to the first period. During this process, they enriched the learning environment with interactive experiments and materials, using different teaching methods and techniques. However, they stated that although they made changes in assessment and evaluation, they could not evaluate students sufficiently. In this context, teachers anticipated that students will have difficulty adapting to school after the pandemic, and they were of the opinion that the deficiencies of the pandemic process can be eliminated with make-up lessons.
Development of an Anatomy Attitude Scale for Medical School Students and Analysis of Their Attitudes
Authors: Can Mehmet Ali
Published: May 2022

Anatomy is one of the most fundamental areas of medical sciences. When medical education is given in its "normal" course, primarily macroscopic anatomy education and other basic medical sciences form the foundation, and then the clinical medical sciences are built on top of this foundation. Due to its importance, as mentioned above, it is known to be a course feared by students newly starting their medical education. A literature search showed that there was not an "Anatomy Attitude Scale" that questions the views of medical school students in our country about anatomy. This study aims to develop a scale to reveal the attitudes of medical school students towards anatomy validly and reliably and to investigate anatomy attitudes of medical school students using this scale in a pilot administration. This study included 700 Term 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 students studying in the School of Medicine of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University (ÇOMU) in the academic year 2020-2021 who agreed to take part in the study. Of these students, 345 were recruited for factor analysis and 355 for investigation of attitudes. In the study, an Anatomy Attitude Scale was developed first in line with the literature, which consisted of 14 items and 3 subfactors, "Value of Anatomy", "Hating Anatomy", and "Time Allocated to Anatomy". The results of construct validity were also verified by confirmatory factor analysis. Then, the scale was administered to 355 students. The results obtained from the data showed that the students of ÇOMU Medical School were aware of the importance of anatomy as a fundamental medical science, and the physician candidates who intended to become a specialist in any branch in the future attributed more value to Anatomy. We believe that the "Anatomy Attitude Scale" we have developed as a result of this study will help shape medical education in our country.

This article aims to understand the scope of zakat regarding its role as a source of state wealth. The writing of the paper is carried out using a literature study method sourced from library books, research journals, laws, and relevant article websites. Zakat as a source of state wealth is a method of managing assets belonging to Muslims which will be used for the benefit of the people in order to build a just and prosperous country's economy. Zakat is one of the instruments in macroeconomics that allows the economy to continue running at a minimum level. Zakat is property that must be issued by a Muslim or business entity to be given to those who are entitled to receive it in accordance with Islamic law. Basically zakat is shown to eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor, because the wealth in the world is solely a deposit from God to humans to be managed properly. For this reason, the potential of zakat as a support for the economy in Indonesia is one of the efforts to manage assets as well as possible by prioritizing the benefit of the people.
