Authors: Ferreira Víctor Mendes , Sarcinelli Clarice de Carvalho Silva , Alvarenga Andre de Sousa
Published: December 2024

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate causes of hospital admission within the 1st year after kidney transplantation in a public hospital. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort. Data were collected by medical record review. Inclusion criteria were age older than 18 years and kidney transplant. Exclusion criteria were double transplant, primary graft failure, and in-hospital death after transplant procedure. Outcomes included 4-year patient survival (primary outcome), 1-year graft failure, and graft function in 1 year. Results: A total of 130 patients were evaluated. There was a predominance of male sex, glomerulonephritis, history of hemodialysis, first kidney transplant, and deceased donor kidneys. Hospital admission in the 1st year occurred in 71.5%. There were three deaths at the first admission (two had cardiovascular causes). The most frequent causes of admission were infections, rejection, and surgical complications. Less common causes included elective procedures such as peritoneal dialysis catheter removal. There was no statistically significant association between categorical and continuous variables studied and the occurrence of hospital admission. Also, hospital admission did not influence primary outcome or 1-year graft failure rate. However, it was associated with lower graft function at 1 year (both by serum creatinine and by estimated glomerular filtration rate – p < 0.05). Conclusion: There was a high incidence of hospital admission, and first admissions resulted in death in three patients (noninfectious causes). Considering the contribution of elective procedures to the high incidence of admission, we propose that hospital managers focus on improving the ability to solve such problems in the outpatient setting.

Since the morphology of the mandible varies among animal species, it is the subject of many studies. The aim of this study was to investigate the macroanatomical and morphometric aspects of the mandible in three different rat (Spague Dawley, Wistar Albino, Wig/Rij) and mouse strains (Balb-c, C57bl/6, CD-1). In this study, which was conducted using a total of 96 mandibles, 8 females and 8 males from each species, measurements were taken from 6 parameters. Similarities and differences between strains and sexes were revealed by statistical analyses. The mandibles were examined under a stereomicroscope. For the Balb-c strain, the termination of the process of the angularis at the level of the process of the condylaris and the shallowness of the masseteric tubercle; for Wig/Rij rats, the proc. angularis, proc. The termination of the condylaris level, the prominent masseteric tubercle and the localization of the molar teeth were macroscopically revealed as distinctive anatomical structures. Specific measurement parameters were proc. coronoideus height for Balb-c mouse; mandible length and lower M3 crown length for CD-1 mouse, while no specific measurement point was available for C57bl/6 mouse. In rats, proc. coronoideus height was the specific measurement point for Wig/Rij rat; lower M3 crown length was decisive for Sprague Dawley. Mandible length parameter was specific for all rat strains. It was concluded that strain determination could be made by looking at these distinctive parameters.

Published: December 2024

Karnataka is 66 years old. Since its formation, the state’s economy has changed dramatically. The state’s GSDP and GSDP per capita have risen while the economy has grown and urbanised. The state’s economic statistics are robust. However, Karnataka’s human and social development may not be as noteworthy as its other achievements. It ranks 19th in India’s HDI. The image of literacy does not link with the picture of the state’s growth, despite the fact that the literacy rate in Karnataka is higher than the literacy rate of the country as a whole. The development narrative of Karnataka’s economy is quite lengthy, but the state of Karnatak in terms of human development and social development may not sound as good compared to its other performances. The goal of this article is to talk about the literacy rates in each district of Karnataka state, based on the results of the 2011 census. The researchers’ primary focus has been on determining the levels of literacy present in Karnataka’s urban and rural communities throughout the state’s many different districts. The report also underlines the difference between the literacy rates of men and women in the state’s urban and rural districts.

Published: December 2024

Practicing "pro-environmental" behavior is one of the most significant in psychological research. Environmental issues have drawn international attention because environmental degradation has caused problems for human throughout the last few decades. It is feasible to connect this environmental degradation to human activity. Under sustainable environmental condition, that can be better human environmental behaviour. The term "pro-environmental behavior" describes the decisions and actions people take to improve sustainability and decrease their negative effects on the environment. In this review article, the authors makes an effort to comprehend how human behavior is influenced by the physical environment and how behavior and attitude affect the environmental circumstance with a special focus on green sustainable or pro-environmental practices. When it comes to engaging in pro-environmental behavior, there are various factors that play a vital role, such as knowing about the problem, human values, and environmental concerns. The writers offer a four-step model to encourage people to change their behavior in favor of the natural environment. A variety of theoretical and methodological strategies are available to enhance pro-environment behaviour. Additionally, the authors emphasize how important it is for people to form a strong connection with nature. This suggests that developing a common understanding and assessing people's unique subject-matter expertise in environmental education are essential.

Authors:   Research Scholar, DoS in Geography, University of Mysore, Manasagangothri Campus, Mysuru, Karnataka, India, Sushmitha S
Published: December 2024

Urban green spaces (UGS) provide social, health, and environmental advantages and are essential in making cities more liveable. But these areas' accessibility and spatial distribution are frequently uneven, especially in India's fast urbanizing cities. In eight Indian cities—Bengaluru, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Pune, Hyderabad, and Jaipur—this study looks at the accessibility and distribution of UGS, pointing out notable differences. The study analyzes the consequences for urban planning and policy and identifies socioeconomic disparities in green space accessibility using secondary data sources, literature studies, and qualitative assessments. The results highlight the necessity of more inclusive urban design techniques to provide fair access to green spaces, especially in marginalized communities. The proposal suggests governmental changes and community-based programs to improve UGS accessibility and availability, which will aid in the creation of sustainable and livable urban settings in India.

Em uma sociedade marcadamente escravocrata, paternalista, patrimonialista, sexista e racista, como era a norte-americana no final do século XIX, as mulheres negras precisaram lutar constantemente, primeiro, pela própria visibilidade social. Em seguida, enfrentaram caminhos árduos e resistências para garantir um dos direitos fundamentais de qualquer cidadão: o direito à educação. Baseando-nos na obra Mulheres, Raça e Classe (2016), de Ângela Davis, apresentamos reflexões sobre a luta dessas mulheres para conquistar o acesso ao conhecimento formal, que era destinado prioritariamente às pessoas brancas. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa é desvelar a trajetória dessas mulheres na busca pelo direito à educação e, por extensão, ao conhecimento, como instrumento de emancipação diante das múltiplas formas de opressão que enfrentaram na história recente. Metodologicamente, empregamos uma abordagem qualitativa (Minayo, 2016), de caráter bibliográfico (Gil, 1999) e compreensivo (Weber, 2006). Os achados da pesquisa, fundamentados nos escritos de Ângela Davis, evidenciam que a luta das mulheres negras pela educação deve ser constante, já que, para Davis, o processo educativo transcende a sala de aula formal e se realiza no cotidiano de atuação dessas mulheres, ampliando seus direitos sociais básicos e oferecendo-lhes um caminho em direção à pretensa liberdade.
Alexandre fractal: uma análise sobre algumas recepções e instrumentalizações da figura de Alexandre III da Macedônia
Authors: Silva Francisco Rocha
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo examina as interpretações e distorções históricas em torno de Alexandre III da Macedônia, destacando como essas noções equivocadas, difundidas na sociedade atual, influenciam a compreensão de sua figura. O estudo contextualiza Alexandre no cenário da Antiguidade, onde seu reinado estendeu-se da Macedônia até a Índia, e reflete sobre a construção mítica de sua imagem por autores romanos como Plutarco e Arriano, que viveram séculos após a época do conquistador. O artigo discute o fenômeno da "Allelopoiesis", ou seja, como as interpretações contemporâneas moldam figuras históricas, e analisa debates virtuais que exploram aspectos de sua vida, como sua sexualidade, frequentemente de forma anacrônica e sensacionalista. Utilizando uma metodologia crítica e qualitativa fundamentada nas teorias de memória e mito político, a pesquisa investiga as motivações por trás dessas reconstruções modernas, revelando como a imagem de Alexandre é instrumentalizada para atender a interesses ideológicos atuais. Conclui-se que tais representações não só perpetuam um mito político do “herói jovem e destemido” como também demonstram o uso simbólico de figuras históricas para legitimar discursos no contexto contemporâneo.

Published: December 2024

Este estudo avalia as emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) associadas à construção de pavimentos rodoviários com concreto asfáltico usinado a quente. Utilizando a metodologia de Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV), conforme as normas ISO 14040 e 14044. A unidade funcional analisada foi de 1 km de pavimento com 7 metros de largura, considerando variações no tipo de solo utilizado na base. As principais etapas avaliadas foram a produção de materiais, transporte, usinagem e execução do pavimento. O estudo integrou dados de ferramentas como MeDiNa®, Ecoinvent®, SimaPro® e SICRO 3 para quantificar as emissões de CO2 equivalente. Os resultados indicam que a produção de materiais (Etapa A1) e a usinagem da mistura asfáltica (Etapa A3) são as principais fontes de emissões. As variações nos tipos de solo influenciam diretamente a espessura do pavimento e as emissões totais, com diferenças que chegam a 16.828,94 kg de CO2 eq/km. Como solução, o estudo sugere a adoção de práticas sustentáveis, como o uso de pavimentos reciclados e a modernização dos equipamentos, para minimizar os impactos ambientais na construção de rodovias.

A análise dos dados permitiu identificar um total de 14 (quatorze) áreas contaminadas por mineração no estado, o que representa apenas 2,03% do total de áreas contaminadas cadastradas em Minas Gerais. As áreas estão localizadas nos municípios de Araxá (03 áreas), Arcos (01 área), Descoberto (01 área), Itabira (01 área) e Nova Lima (08 áreas). De acordo com a etapa de gerenciamento de tais áreas no ano de 2021, fim do período de análise, apenas 04 (quatro) áreas localizadas em Nova Lima ainda estavam em processo de monitoramento, sem intervenção e/ou reabilitação. Nestas áreas, os solos identificados foram os Cambissolos, que são solos rasos e pouco argilosos, com baixa capacidade de retenção de poluentes. Assim, recomenda-se iniciar o processo de intervenção em tais áreas, buscando a atenuação da poluição do solo e a redução de riscos de contaminação da água subterrânea a partir destes locais.

O artigo explora a transição do trabalho presencial para o teletrabalho, destacando como essa mudança foi fundamental para garantir a continuidade e a eficácia da administração pública durante e após a pandemia. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar os impactos do teletrabalho nas relações de trabalho e na legislação trabalhista durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Por meio de uma revisão de literatura de método qualitativo, a pesquisa investigou as adaptações necessárias às dinâmicas laborais, bem como os desafios e as oportunidades que emergiram desse novo formato de trabalho. Os resultados indicam que a adoção do teletrabalho levou a uma reconfiguração das relações entre empregadores e empregados, exigindo novas práticas de gestão e comunicação. Além disso, a análise revelou uma lacuna na legislação trabalhista, que precisou ser rapidamente adaptada para atender às especificidades do teletrabalho, visando garantir direitos e deveres de ambas as partes. A pesquisa também destacou a importância de políticas públicas que promovam a capacitação e a infraestrutura necessária para a implementação eficaz do teletrabalho no setor público. Conclui-se que, embora o teletrabalho tenha apresentado desafios significativos, ele também trouxe inovações e possibilidades de melhoria na administração pública, sugerindo que esse modelo pode ser uma alternativa viável para o futuro das relações de trabalho.

Job satisfaction and burnout are critical concerns for nurses working in intensive care units (ICUs), impacting their well-being and the quality of patient care. Understanding these factors is crucial for developing strategies to improve healthcare outcomes. Objective: To assess job satisfaction and burnout among ICU nurses at a tertiary healthcare hospital in Pakistan. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 121 ICU nurses using a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, with descriptive statistics summarizing key findings. Results: The majority of nurses reported high job satisfaction, with 69.4% agreeing that their work provided significant fulfilment, and 65.3% feeling able to learn on the job. However, moderate to high burnout levels were observed, with 43% reporting feelings of burnout and 38.8% feeling overburdened with professional duties. Despite these challenges, 57% of nurses did not perceive burnout as significantly affecting their performance. Conclusion: While job satisfaction levels were high, the presence of burnout underscores the need for targeted interventions to improve workplace conditions and support nurses’ well-being. Addressing workload challenges and fostering a supportive work environment is essential for sustaining job satisfaction and reducing burnout in ICUs.
