Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the main methods of protecting confidential information. Organizational and technical measures to protect it are considered. Criteria for an adequate assessment of methods for protecting confidential data are highlighted. Within the framework of experimental studies, the best method of protecting confidential data has been identified. Currently, much attention is paid to the protection of confidential information - that is, information that a limited number of people have the right to access. This may be personal data of citizens or secrets of commercial activity of firms, official and state secrets, or materials of legal proceedings. As a result of the leakage of secret information, there is a loss of customers, a decrease in income, etc. Attackers can seize valuable information, damage the reputation of citizens, gain access to bank accounts, private and state secret documents. To ensure the protection of confidential information, not only the development of separate mechanisms and methods of protection is required, but a whole systematic approach is needed - a set of measures, such as the use of software and hardware, engineering and cryptographic tools; legal and organizational measures. The complex nature of protection arises from the complex actions of intruders who seek to obtain important information for them by any means. Among the methods of preserving confidential data, the most common are: data certification, licensing, categorization, certification. Disclosure of confidential information is one of the main security threats. The implementation of threats is the result of one of the actions and events: disclosure of confidential information, leakage of confidential information and unauthorized access to protected information. In case of disclosure or leakage, the confidentiality of restricted access information is violated.

Today, all spheres of our life are closely connected with the transmission of information on the Internet. Walking or exercising now also requires a good internet connection to listen to music, send telemetry data for sports programs, or make audio or video calls with family or for work. Unfortunately, mobile operators are not always able to provide a good Internet connection, and do not forget that the use of the mobile Internet leads to a rapid discharge of the cell phone battery. Therefore, covering a park area with a wireless network based on Wi-Fi technology becomes an urgent and challenging task. One of the difficulties is that there are a large number of trees in the park areas. The radio signal changes significantly when it passes through the foliage. It is affected by a large number of negative factors such as reflection, attenuation, and so on. This leads to difficulties in choosing the location of access points. The article provides an approximate diagram of the wireless network of a small park. There is also a description of the main difficulties that engineers encounter when designing such networks. Moreover, the article provides options for solving problems that are ignited in the process of developing these networks.

Novas conformações do apoio matricial em tempos de pandemia de COVID-19
Authors: Mattos Mauricio Pereira de , Gutiérrez Adriana Coser
Published: December 2023

Resumo O presente artigo buscou analisar as diferentes conformações do apoio matricial a partir das mudanças engendradas pela pandemia de SARS-CoV-2, tendo como referência o processo de trabalho do Núcleo Ampliado de Saúde da Família (NASF) neste contexto, do município de Maricá, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Utilizou-se como método de investigação a pesquisa qualitativa e de análise a hermenêutica dialética, subsidiada por técnicas definidas em função do cenário pandêmico - websurvey, entrevista semiestruturada, análise documental e busca nos sistemas de informações do Sistema Único de Saúde. Como principais resultados, a pesquisa evidenciou: aumento de queixas associadas à saúde mental, em usuários e trabalhadores; necessidade de mobilização das redes de apoio socioassistenciais; ampliação do apoio remoto, sobretudo junto aos profissionais das equipes vinculadas; menor circulação dos especialistas pelos territórios. A pesquisa identificou que o processo de trabalho foi se tornando mais individualizado, dentro dos consultórios, e que as equipes mínimas reuniram poucas condições para a atenção aos agravos decorrentes da COVID-19, confirmando o NASF como uma equipe essencial da Atenção Primária à Saúde.

Published: December 2023

Resumo O município de São Paulo historicamente foi marcado pela heterogeneidade da implementação pela coexistência de modelos conflitivos de gestão do SUS e de atenção na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Consolidou-se a administração via contratos de gestão dos serviços de saúde, associada a uma lógica produtivista. Durante a pandemia de COVID-19, as fragilidades de uma APS seletiva tendem a ser pronunciadas. Assim, o presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a gestão do trabalho e o cuidado na APS durante a pandemia de COVID-19 no município de São Paulo, em pesquisa qualitativa multicêntrica, ancorada no referencial teórico Paideia. Foram realizadas 31 entrevistas em profundidade com usuários e trabalhadores da APS e observação participante. Observou-se postura autoritária e gerencialista da gestão municipal na condução das respostas, com pouco espaço para escuta e diálogo. Notou-se enfraquecimento dos espaços coletivos e do vínculo entre serviço e comunidade; burocratização e precarização dos processos de trabalho e desmantelamento do NASF. Neste cenário, o cuidado caracterizou-se pela redução expressiva da clínica ampliada, compartilhada e pelo distanciamento das diretrizes da APS de base territorial e comunitária.

Abstract The municipality of São Paulo has historically been marked by a heterogeneous implementation and coexistence of conflicting models of SUS management and Primary Health Care (PHC). The administration of health services management contracts was consolidated and associated with a productivist rationale. The selective PHC weaknesses tend to be pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, the present article aims to analyze work management and care in PHC during the COVID-19 pandemic in the municipality of São Paulo through a multicenter qualitative research anchored in the Paideia theoretical framework. We conducted 31 in-depth interviews with PHC clients and workers, along with participant observation. We noted the municipal management’s authoritarian and managerialist stance when conducting the responses, with little room for listening and dialogue. We identified weakened collective spaces and service-community bond, bureaucratization and precariousness of work processes, and NASF’s dismantling. In this setting, care was characterized by significantly reducing the expanded and shared clinical practice and the distancing from the territorial and community-based PHC guidelines.
“Here in the favela, nothing stopped”: perception of the COVID-19 pandemics by young men from Complexo da Maré, RJ, Brazil
Authors: Tramontano Lucas , Nascimento Marcos Antonio Ferreira do
Published: December 2023

Abstract This article discusses the perceptions of young men living in Complexo da Maré, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the adoption of prevention techniques. Data were collected from semi-structured interviews with men between 18 and 29 years of age, conducted at the end of 2022, and analyzed using thematic content analysis. The results point to a partial adherence of young people to recommended prevention practices, with low social distancing, but a high vaccination rate and a resistance to negationist discourses, despite describing the favela as an environment that paid little attention to the pandemic. Factors, such as education and the fragility of employment contracts, were predominant in prevention strategies. The internet is the primary source of information accessed by this population and can be strategic for future health communication and education with young men.

Authors: Oliveira Alcione Brasileiro , Chaves Sônia Cristina Lima
Published: December 2023

Abstract This study analyzed the characteristics of the health system, surveillance system, and the measures adopted to face the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand between March 2020 and December 2021. 29 fully read articles from an integrative literature review were included, and the websites of the WHO, the World Bank, the “Stringency Index” of “ourworldindata” were consulted to collect data on the socio-demographic situation, economic indicators of the country, as well as tests, deaths, vaccines and new cases. The data were imported in CSV format and the graphs elaborated in RStudio software. The evidence points out that New Zealand can be considered a success story regarding the nationwide response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it being one of the countries with the lowest number of deaths from the disease in the world. This success was the result of a health system organization with fast internal action, high testing capacity, and contact tracing, without causing the collapse of the health system. In turn, it also pointed out that the population adhered to the confinement conditions, and faithfully followed the authorities’ instructions, even with low community participation in government decisions. Important lessons can be learnt leading to useful recommendations for a potential new epidemic with an unknown virus or similar.

Published: December 2023

Abstract This study aims to characterize the morbidity of COVID-19 in the year 2020 by identifying the most vulnerable areas and areas of clustering of cases in a favela from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil known as Manguinhos. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study performed from March 16, 2020, to August 12, 2020. We described the sociodemographic profile of the cases and performed spatial analysis using point and Kernel maps. Incidence rates were calculated by sex, age, and sub-regions. The incidence rate was 202/10,000. We detected clusters of cases west, central-north, and central-south of Manguinhos. High incidence rates were observed also in sub-regions of central-north, central-south, and southwest. In the sub-regions with high incidence, the percentage of people depending on financial governmental aid ranged between 13% and 21%. The sub-regions with the highest agglomeration of cases in the territory of Manguinhos coincide with the regions with the highest incidence rates, but not with the poorest regions of the territory.

Abstract This article presents the results of our study on the public perception of science during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, carried out at the Centro de Estudos SoU_Ciência, from Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP). To answer the question: “Has the COVID-19 pandemic changed the perception of Brazilian society about science, scientists, and universities?”, quantitative and qualitative studies were conducted between August 2021 and July 2022. In national quantitative public opinion surveys, we collected exclusive data from a historical series of polls on the subject in Brazil, and in focus groups, we deepened studies on the perception and political position of different social segments. Amid the growth of scientific denialism; political and social setbacks; and the dismantling of public policies, specifically scientific and technological, resulting from the impeachment of 2016 and the election of Bolsonaro in 2018, research indicates, apparently contrary to an obscurantist political tendency, a significant expansion of public interest in science during the pandemic in the country. This paper analyzes the emergence of a “pro-science wave” in public opinion in Brazil, the factors that led to its emergence during the pandemic, and its current prospects.

Conclusion Aquatic rehabilitation exercise can accelerate the recovery process of patients with knee joint injuries. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
Harmony as an underlying ingredient in the numerical search for suitable equal temperaments
Authors: Melo L.F.
Published: December 2023

This work investigates whether there are harmonic sets which are universally prioritized when fitting the chromatic just scale with equal-tempered tunings. We design a method to find which temperaments properly and non-ambiguously fit a set of pure intervals and show that: (a) Within range N ∈ [9, 54], temperaments with 12, 19, 22, 24, 31, 34, 41 and 53 divisions are suitable for adjusting the twelve-tone chromatic just scale – in particular, 53 divisions provide the most accurate fit, (b) For M-element subsets of the chromatic universe with M ∈ [3, 7], these solutions are always more faithfully reproduced when the target set is a major scale rather than a minor one, and (c) Sequences of notes uniformly distributed over the octave are disadvantageous references for finding suitable temperaments numerically. The latter observation suggests a mathematical background for understanding the preference for non-uniform scales in world music revealed by recent studies in ethnomusicology.

Authors: Oliveira Elisabete Maria de , Bilac Ricardo Artur Etchatz , Silva Letícia Yolanda , Pacheco Ana Elisa , Benetti Magnus
Published: December 2023

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar, na base de dados Science Direct, informações científicas sobre atividade física, covid-19 e câncer infantojuvenil, através de uma revisão integrativa, utilizando três combinações de palavras-chave. Cinquenta publicações mais relevantes de cada combinação de palavras-chave foram selecionadas, e chegou-se a 26 artigos elegíveis no período compreendido entre agosto de 2019 e julho de 2021, dos quais nove eram textos duplicados. Aplicando-se os critérios de exclusão, foram selecionados 11 estudos completos. Constatou-se que o nível de atividade física (AF) de crianças com câncer ou sobreviventes do câncer é baixo e que entre as mudanças causadas pela pandemia de covid-19 estão a diminuição do nível de AF e o aumento do uso de dispositivos tecnológicos. As recomendações mínimas de AF para essa população variam, entretanto há evidências que sustentam sua importância e seus benefícios ao minimizar os efeitos adversos oriundos do próprio câncer e do tratamento médico realizado. As intervenções baseadas em exercícios, para as quais já há evidência de eficácia, devem ser escolhidas e realizadas a partir do tipo de câncer e na fase do tratamento em que a criança está.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the prevalence and identify the factors associated with the absence of birth companions among women in Southern Brazil. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out with 466 parturient women in a cohort of women from the urban area of the city of Pelotas, RS. At 18 months postpartum, a structured questionnaire was applied with sociodemographic, gestational data and questions related to childbirth. Logistic regression was performed to adjust for possible confounding factors. Results: The prevalence of the absence of a birth companion among women was 22.3%. Parturient women with up to 8 schooling years (PR=2.0 [95%CI 1.1–3.8]), who did not live with a partner (PR=2.3 [95%CI 1.2–4.3]), who performed their prenatal care in the public sector (PR=1.9 [95%CI 1.0–3.7]) and who had a cesarean delivery (PR=6.0 [95%CI 2.9–12.4]) were more likely to not have had a birth companion. Conclusion: The results shows relevant evidence for the verification of the presence of a companion in Southern Brazil, indicating the need for better use and adherence to this practice. In addition, the law that approves the presence of the birth companion in Brazil does not seem to be being fully implemented, disrespecting a right of parturient women and impacting the benefits for for maternal and child health.

Resumo Introdução: O manejo do hiperparat-ireoidismo secundário (HPTS) é uma tarefa desafiadora com diversos fatores que contribuem para o fracasso do tratamento. A terapia calcimimética revolucionou o manejo do HPTS, levando a alterações nas indicações e no momento apropriado da paratireoidectomia (PTX) em todo o mundo. Métodos: Comparamos taxas de resposta às abordagens clínica vs. cirúrgica do HPTS em pacientes em diálise de manutenção (DRC 5D) e pacientes transplantados renais (TxR). Foi realizada uma análise retrospectiva dos achados de um ano de acompanhamento. Pacientes com DRC 5D foram divididos em 3 grupos de acordo com a estratégia de tratamento: paratireoidectomia, manejo clínico sem cinacalcete (denominado padrão - P) e com cinacalcete (P + CIN). Os pacientes com TxR foram divididos em 3 grupos: PTX, CIN (uso de cinacalcete) e observação (OBS). Resultados: Na DRC 5D, encontramos uma redução significativa do paratormônio (PTH) em todos os grupos. Apesar de todos os grupos apresentarem um PTH mais elevado no início do estudo, identificamos uma redução mais acentuada no grupo PTX. Com relação ao HPTS grave, a diferença entre os grupos foi evidentemente maior: 31%, 14% e 80% dos grupos P, P + CIN e PTX atingiram níveis adequados de PTH, respectivamente (p< 0,0001). Com relação à população TxR, embora a diferença não tenha sido tão impressionante, também foi observada uma taxa maior de sucesso no grupo PTX. Conclusão: A PTX ainda parece ser a melhor escolha de tratamento para o HPTS, especialmente em pacientes com doenças prolongadas em cenários sem recursos.

Resumo No intestino humano, existe um microbioma metabolicamente ativo cujos produtos metabólicos alcançam diversos órgãos e são utilizados nas atividades fisiológicas do corpo. Quando ocorre disbiose da homeostase microbiana intestinal, os metabólitos patogênicos podem aumentar, e um deles é o N-óxido de trimetilamina (TMAO). Acredita-se que o TMAO tenha um papel na patogênese da resistência à insulina, diabetes, hiperlipidemia, doenças cardíacas ateroscleróticas e eventos cerebrovasculares. O nível de TMAO também está associado à inflamação renal, fibrose, lesão renal aguda, doença renal diabética e doença renal crônica. Nesta revisão, discute-se o efeito do TMAO em diversas doenças renais.
Precarious work and platformization: trade in the lower circuit of economy

Published: December 2023

Abstract The context of capitalist restructuring, deindustrialization, reprimarization of the export agenda, and rentism also includes platform economy, uberization, and the growing precarization of the world of work. Maracanaú, in the Metropolitan Region of Fortaleza, is not immune to the transformations that have been occurring in the national scenario. This article aims to analyze the dynamics of the lower circuit of urban economy in territories of popular clothing trade in the Municipality of Maracanaú. We conclude that this trade goes beyond the metropolitan territory and reinvents itself amid the clash with the government and with private interests. However, the right to work in the context of urban reform is a challenge in view of the army of excluded workers, and the right to the city that has become a commodity – the business city – has been denied.

Resumo Considerando as recentes transformações do trabalho nas metrópoles brasileiras, observa-se uma multiplicação do trabalho precário baseado na circulação de mercadorias. A crise do capital e da forma-valor parece dar origem a um imperativo de circulação eficiente como condição de possibilidade para a acumulação, que se reflete na chamada urbanização logística. Este artigo apresenta uma interpretação desses processos a partir da perspectiva lefebvriana dos níveis de análise do urbano (G-M-P). Ao explorar a relação entre crise do capital, urbanização logística e a dimensão cotidiana dos entregadores de aplicativo, concluímos que a precarização do trabalho e a produção de infraestruturas logísticas aparecem como expressão material do aprofundamento da crise da valorização do valor, alterando simultaneamente as formas de luta da classe trabalhadora.
Sewing the city: crisis of capital, logistical urbanization, and app-based delivery workers

Abstract In the context of the recent transformations undergone by work in Brazilian metropolises, there has been a multiplication of precarious jobs related to circulation of goods. The crisis of capital and of the value-form seem to be giving rise to the need of efficient circulation as a condition for accumulation, which is reflected in the so- -called logistical urbanization. The article presents an interpretation of these processes based on Lefebvre’s levels of analysis of the urban (G-M-P). By exploring the relationship between crisis of capital, logistical urbanization, and the everyday dimension of app-based delivery workers, we conclude that the precarization of work and the production of logistical infrastructures emerge as material expressions of the increasing crisis of the valorization of value; at the same time, they alter the forms of struggle of the working class.
Precarious but organized: the resistance strategy of uberized workers

Published: December 2023

Abstract Uberization of work is one more step in the process of unconfiguring the social pacts formed in the Fordist period. The strategy of building “partners” makes it possible to externalize fixed capital costs to a multitude of precarious workers and exempt companies from responsibility for guaranteeing labor rights and occupational safety. This process is driven by large transnational companies that operate beyond national limitations and accumulate on a global scale, in this new territory of labor exploitation. In this article, we present initiatives for the organization of uberized workers based on international and national experiences, in light of the concept of social movement unionism.
“Leisure” spaces within work environments in the “Performance society”
Authors: Jubert Simone , Leitão Lúcia
Published: December 2023

Abstract This article proposes a reflection on the increasing trend of integrating leisure spaces into work environments. It begins with the hypothesis that such spaces constitute a form of appropriation, by employers, of their employees' non-working time. The conceptual references primarily stem from the notions of Disciplinary Society (Foucault), involving the idea of docile bodies shaped by surveillance, and Performance Society (Han), demonstrating how the experience within these spaces that exploit employees' free time can easily be mistaken for a sense of freedom. The article concludes by highlighting the worker’s active participation in their own exploitation and pointing out the need to discuss the psychosocial implications arising from this rapidly expanding practice within contemporary capitalism.
Impulse wave in the Brazilian Lake of Capitólio

ABSTRACT This note proposes a technical approach towards the disaster occurred on January 8, 2022, in the tourism region of Capitólio (Minas Gerais state, Brazil), where a massive quartzite rock broke from a cliff and toppled on to pleasure boaters drifting on a lake, leaving 10 people dead and 30 others injured. Even though the rockfall was decisive in the tragedy, it is reasonable to affirm that the submersion-wave impact certainly potentialized the accident. Along these lines, this work not only aims to videographically explore the geometric / kinematic characteristics of the solid block, but also to discuss the specificities pertaining the event. Lastly, with basis on the Noda Method (1970), this manuscript also estimates the resulting wave amplitude (near the impact) and the energy-transfer coefficient between the block and the body of water.

ABSTRACT Streamflow forecasting plays an important role in ensuring the reliable supply of electricity in countries heavily reliant on hydropower. This paper proposes a novel framework that integrates various hydrological models, climate models, and observational data to develop a comprehensive forecasting system. Three families of models were employed: seasonal forecasting climate models integrated with hydrological rainfall-runoff models; stochastic or machine learning models utilizing endogenous variables, and stochastic or machine learning models that consider exogenous variables. The hyper-multimodel framework could successfully increase the overall performance of the scenarios generated through the use of the individual models. The quality of the final scenarios generated was directly connected to the performance of the individual models. Therefore, the proposed framework has potential to improve hydrological forecast for the Brazilian electricity sector with the use of more refined and calibrated individual models.
Global e desglobal na geopoesia quilombola kalunga: crítica polifônica em diálogo com a geocrítica
Authors: Medeiros Ana Clara Magalhães de , Silva Junior Augusto Rodrigues da
Published: December 2023

RESUMO Este trabalho sistematiza uma teoria da geopoesia enquanto proposta teórico-crítica que parte do eixo Sul Global, especificamente das regiões Centro-Oeste e Norte do Brasil. Com o objetivo de pensar dialogicamente a literatura erigida do cerrado brasileiro, tal formulação constrói-se coletivamente há mais de cinco anos no âmbito de um simpósio temático da Associação Brasileira de Literatura Comparada (ABRALIC). Voltados para a discussão de poéticas orais, escritas, encenadas e performadas por autores individuais e coletivos situados em aldeias e quilombos, tecemos caminhos comparativistas em um “brasil.br” (Bolle, 2004). Relacionando a geopoesia à geocrítica (Westphal, 2017), evidenciamos pontos de contato e de confronto entre as teorias para analisar versos quilombolas Kalunga (Goiás/ Tocantins). Problematizamos os conceitos de “globalização” e “desglobalização” (Hobsbawm, 2007) em movimento de combate aos processos coloniais/imperialistas de que, muitas vezes, revestiu-se a literatura e a crítica acadêmica. Analisando especificamente as formas literárias dos povos quilombolas Kalunga, relacionamos a experiência deste espaço geográfico e simbólico brasileiro à dinâmica histórico-cultural que marca todo o Atlântico Negro (Gilroy, 2017). Finalmente, propomos uma abordagem crítica polifônica (Bakhtin, 2006) que atualiza o legado bakhtiniano neste Novo Milênio.
Desbabelizar o mito: a língua em Babel, de Antonia Torreão Herrera, e o estrangeiro em Sinônimos, de Nadav Lapid
Authors: Andrade Gabriela Lopes Vasconcellos de
Published: December 2023

RESUMO O presente texto versa sobre uma análise do livro Babel, de Antonia Torreão Herrera (2020), e do filme Sinônimos, de Nadav Lapid (2019), no intuito de repensar a língua e a globalização a partir do mito de Babel. Nesse sentido, baseado no pensamento sobre língua e tradução de Jacques Derrida, no conceito de linguajamento de Water Mignolo e na discussão de Michel Foucault sobre Dom Quixote (2012) em diálogo com o filme, busca-se esboçar a problemática da concepção de globalização em uma perspectiva decolonial que critica a lógica binária capital-colonial. Assim, o objetivo é pensar como a poesia de Antonia Torreão Herrera e a narrativa cinematográfica de Nadav Lapid tencionam a tirania da língua e a produção de marginalizações em um contexto global. Para isso, discute-se o conceito de desbabelizar, presente no texto mítico-filosófico-poético de Antonia Torreão Herrera, relacionado à ideia de desglobalização, baseado no pensamento de Pablo Solón, no intuito de repensar os binômios globalizar-babelizar e desglobalizar-desbabelizar. Dessa forma, a partir da interpretação do poema e do filme, foi possível delinear o potencial plástico e ambivalente da língua e da linguagem artística, que rompe com o binarismo tirânico da globalização.
