Authors: Seixas Emerson de Albuquerque , Martin Luis Cuadrado
Published: February 2022

Objetivo: avaliar a associação entre variáveis clínicas, laboratoriais, achados de cinecoronariografia e uso de medicamentos com mortalidade de causa cardiovascular (CV) em pacientes em diálise candidatos ao transplante renal. Métodos: Foi realizado estudo longitudinal observacional em 103 candidatos ao TR de dois centros. Verificou-se a associação entre a ocorrência de óbito cardiovascular e variáveis clínicas. Variáveis que apresentaram associação com a variável desfecho ao nível de p<0,1 foram selecionadas para a análise de Cox. Idade e presença de diabetes melito foram forçadas no modelo. Resultados: foram rastreados 128 pacientes, dos quais, 20 foram excluídos por se recusarem a participar do estudo e 3 por óbito antes do início do estudo. Dos 105 pacientes restantes, dois foram excluídos por falha de registro dos desfechos, portanto 103 foram incluídos em análise longitudinal. Análise univariada não identificou variável clínica que se associou a ocorrência de óbito de causa cardiovascular, entretanto, a modalidade de diálise e uso de estatina foram selecionadas para análise múltipla, pois se associaram ao desfecho ao nível de p<0,1. Análise de Cox para avaliar a associação entre variáveis clínicas e a ocorrência de óbito CV em diálise identificou apenas uso de estatina como preditor de menor risco de óbito CV (HR: 0,106; IC95%: 0,013-0,852; p=0,035). Conclusão: nos pacientes em diálise candidatos ao TR apenas o uso de estatina apresentou associação inversa, estatisticamente significante, com a ocorrência de óbito de causa cardiovascular.

Authors: Hammami Nour , Azevedo Da Silva Marine , Elgar Frank J.
Published: February 2022

Introduction

Monitoring health inequalities in adolescents informs policy approaches to reducing these inequalities early in the life course. The purpose of this study was to investigate trends in gender and socioeconomic inequalities in six health domains.

Methods

Data were from five quadrennial survey cycles of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) study in Canada (pooled n = 94 887 participants). Differences in health between socioeconomic groups (based on material deprivation) and between genders were assessed using slope and relative indices of inequality in six health domains: daily physical activity, excess body weight, frequent physical symptoms, frequent psychological symptoms, low life satisfaction, and fair or poor self-rated health.

Results

Over a 16-year period, adolescents in Canada reported progressively worse health in four health domains, with those at the lowest socioeconomic position showing the steepest declines. Socioeconomic differences increased in excess body weight, physical symptoms, low life satisfaction, and fair or poor health. Gender differences also increased. Females showed poorer health than males in all domains except excess body weight, and gender differences increased over time in physical symptoms, psychological symptoms and low life satisfaction.

Conclusion

Socioeconomic and gender inequalities in health are persistent and widening among adolescents in Canada. Policies that address material and social factors that contribute to health disparities in adolescence are warranted.

Use of the Chemical SWOT Methodology to Enable Students to Analyse and Discuss the Socio-scientific Issues in the Classroom
Authors: Jeongho Cha , Su-Yin Kan , Wai Chia Poh , San Chia Poh
Published: February 2022

Abstract: One of the challenges that science teachers face is the lack of strategy/method to train students in data collection and developing analytical skills, which are pre-requisites to resolve socio-scientific problems and an important element in scientific literacy. In this activity, the SWOT analysis proposed by the Stanford Research Institute in the United States is modified and carried out in a class of university students to teach them how to analyse data and make decisions in the context of socio-scientific issues related to the use of parabens and triclosan, which are chemicals with potential adverse effects that are widely used in everyday products. The participants consist of 31 students, who are enrolled in the environmental and analytical chemistry programme at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu in Malaysia. Data is gathered from the essays submitted by the students to the course coordinator at week seven of their lessons. The findings show that students have positive response towards the implemented activity. After weighing all strength, weakness, opportunity and threat attributes, most students seem to support the use of those chemicals despite their risks and implications to health and the environment, albeit with greater awareness and prudence. This SWOT activity may potentially be used as an alternative instructional tool to promote discussion and resolution of socio-scientific issues in the classroom.

Abstract: In the 21st century, mobile games have become a growing interest among children, including primary school students. This can be a great opportunity for instructors to utilize mobile games approaches and students' interest in games for education teaching and learning purposes, specifically in the primary classroom environment. However, there is no study yet considering the effect between individual and collaborative game-based learning (GBL) on students' knowledge. Experimental research was conducted in a public primary school to address the issue. The present study successfully determined the effectiveness of individual and collaborative GBL using tablets in improving students' knowledge in a primary classroom environment. Three groups of Standard Five students were given a pre-test before the intervention, followed by each group were taught using different approaches of conventional learning, individual and collaborative GBL, respectively. Subsequently, the students were given a      post-test after the intervention. The test of homogeneity results indicated that the model was normally distributed and could be used for the intervention. The results of analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) on students' post-test scores show the collaborative GBL had the highest mean, which was 9.324 at Day 4. Additionally, the collaborative group also had the highest mean of trials and success rate during intervention among the three groups as the days increased, which were 3.8 and 0.6, respectively. The collaborative GBL was the most effective among three different approaches. The students had a group discussion to share and organize ideas and critical thinking between their group members on what they have learned from previous intervention days into the current intervention session. The major findings of the present study revealed the potential of collaborative GBL using the tablet in the primary classroom environment in improving students' understanding, knowledge, problem-solving, communications and critical thinking skills.

Introdução: O Coronavirus (Covid-19) é uma epidemia global e 2020 foi o ano infeccioso em todo o mundo. Desse modo, entender como os fisioterapeutas estão atuando neste momento se torna importante para elaborar estratégias e políticas públicas relevantes para conter a disseminação do vírus. Objetivo: Analisar a atuação e o perfil dos fisioterapeutas neste momento de pandemia. Métodos: Um total de 275 fisioterapeutas participaram da pesquisa eletrônica. O estudo foi realizado pelo link do Formulários Google abrangendo questões referentes à formação acadêmica, quesitos relacionados à prática profissional e aspectos relacionados a Covid-19. Resultados: No geral, os fisioterapeutas que possuem pós graduação (lato sensu) representaram a maior parcela da amostra. Entre os participantes, 263 (96%) relataram ter realizado algum procedimento fisioterapêutico neste momento de pandemia, destes 80% relataram atender de forma privada e os pacientes adultos e idosos são os que mais receberam cuidados. Sobre a realização do teste para detecção do Covid-19, 173 (63%) participantes responderam que não realizaram o teste. Conclusão: Os resultados do estudo apontam que os fisioterapeutas continuaram atendendo durante a pandemia e a maior parcela da amostra não realizou o teste para detecção do Covid-19. Estes achados podem contribuir para o direcionamento de novos estudos em relação a fisioterapia e o Covid-19.

Introdução: qualidade de vida (QV) é a percepção do indivíduo de sua posição na vida, no contexto cultural e no sistema de valores. Objetivo: avaliar a QV e o nível de felicidade da comunidade do Projeto de Assentamento Nova Amazônia (PANA). Metodologia: estudo, observacional, transversal, prospectivo, descritivo, quantitativo e qualitativo, envolvendo 184 moradores do PANA. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre novembro de 2019 e setembro de 2020, por meio da aplicação do questionário WHOQOL-100 e de uma escala de felicidade desenvolvida por Lyubomirsky e Lepper. Resultados: evidenciou-se associação entre ser homem e ter melhor escore no domínio Físico (p= 0,014), ser mulher e melhor escore no domínio Espiritualidade/ Crenças (p= 0,030), ter maior renda e melhor escore no domínio Ambiente (p= 0,0003), ter maior nível de escolaridade e melhor avaliação global de QV (p= 0,008) e melhores escores nos domínios Independência (p= 0,023) e Ambiente (p= 0,015), ter de 18 a 39 anos e melhor escore no domínio Independência (p= 0,007) e entre morar no assentamento há menos tempo e ter mais independência (p=0,023). Não foi evidenciada associação entre os dados sociodemográficos e o nível de felicidade.  Conclusão: Apesar de toda a dificuldade econômica e social vivenciada pela população estudada, tanto os escores de QV quanto de felicidade encontram-se em um patamar mediano. Os domínios Físico e Ambiental foram os mais fragilizados, apresentando os menores escores e os principais problemas apontados pelos participantes foram a ocorrência de dores osteomusculares, o ambiente do lar, ausência de lazer/recreação e a ineficiência do transporte público

Published: February 2022

Com o surgimento da pandemia da COVID-19, diversos fatores contribuem para que os pacientes infectados se tornem suscetíveis a infecções fúngicas oportunistas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar o panorama das pesquisas sobre a COVID-19 e sua associação com as infecções fúngicas causadas por C. auris e por fungos da ordem Mucorales, mapeando também o desenvolvimento de produtos e de processos através da busca de depósitos de patentes. A produção científica nos anos de 2020 e 2021, no PUBMED, sobre mucormicose mostrou que 23,7% dos artigos traziam associação com a COVID-19. Com o termo C. auris, 1,6% dos artigos relaciona-se ao novo coronavírus. Dos depósitos de patentes encontrados, 24,1% são depósitos que associam COVID e os agentes das infecções fúngicas. A crise sanitária oriunda da COVID-19, juntamente com a associação das infecções fúngicas, alavancou a produção de conhecimento, produtos e processos em curto espaço de tempo. Há produções científicas e patentárias de vários países do mundo que são extremamente importantes para orientar na melhor conduta a fim de evitar perdas de vidas humanas.

Extended Feedback Linearisation Control of Non-ideal DCDC Buck Converter in Continuous-conduction Mode
Authors: Csizmadia Miklos , Kuczmann Miklos
Published: February 2022

This paper presents an extended form of Feedback Linearisation Control (FBLC), which is tested in a non-ideal buck converter in Continuous-conduction Mode (CCM). The FBLC is often used in power electronics to control a non-linear system, due to its advantageous properties. The application of the error integrator shows better steady-state and transient properties, such as a decrease of inrush current. The linearised system has been controlled by the pole placement and the technique is illustrated through an example and simulated via Matlab. The results have been compared by using a classical PID controller, allowing the benefits of FBLC to be highlighted.
