Published: April 2020

BACKGROUND

Digital health usability assessments can help explain how well mobile health (mHealth) apps targeting young people with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information performed and whether the intended purpose was achieved. However, few digital health assessments have been conducted to evaluate young people’s perceptions regarding mHealth system interactions and content relevance on a wide range of SRH topics. In addition, the majority of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have focused on push messaging platforms; therefore, the mHealth field lacks sufficient RCTs investigating on-demand mHealth SRH platforms.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to explore young people’s experiences using an on-demand SRH mHealth platform in Kenya.

METHODS

We used qualitative data related to the usability of an mHealth platform, Adolescent/Youth Reproductive Mobile Access and Delivery Initiatives for Love and Life Outcome (ARMADILLO), collected at the end of the intervention period. A total of 30 in-depth interviews (IDIs) were held with the intervention participants (15 women and 15 men) to elicit their experiences, opinions, and perspectives on the design and content of the ARMADILLO platform. The study participants were randomly selected from a list of intervention arm participants to participate in the IDIs. The interviews were later transcribed verbatim, translated into English, and coded and analyzed thematically using NVivo version 12 software (QSR International).

RESULTS

Respondents reported varied user experiences and levels of satisfaction, ranging from ease of use by the majority of the respondents to systematic frustrations that prevented some participants from progressing to other stages. Interesting features of the mHealth platform included the immediate response participants received when requesting messages, weekly remunerated quizzes, and perceived ability of educative and informative content and messages to change behaviors. Proposed enhancements to the platform included revising some concepts and words for easy understanding and increasing the interactivity of the platform, whereby young people could seek clarity when they came across difficult terms or had additional questions about the information they received.

CONCLUSIONS

The importance of understanding the range of health literacy and technological variations when dealing with young people cannot be overemphasized. Young people, as mHealth end users, must be considered throughout intervention development to achieve optimum functionality. In addition, young people targeted with mHealth SRH interventions must be sensitized to the interactions on mHealth platforms or any other digital health apps if implemented in a nonresearch setting for optimal use by the targeted audience.

Published: April 2020

BACKGROUND

Nurses play important roles in the Healthcare, responding to the care needs of patients with the ever-expanding Internet of Things Web-based care programs. This is useful for patients to better self-care.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this systematic review is to explore nurses' experiences in using the Internet to care for patients.

METHODS

This was a systematic review and qualitative evidence synthesis modeled on the Joanna Briggs Methodology. Pre-defined keywords were searched for in Google scholar, Medline, Pub med, CINAHL, and Web of Science to locate studies published in the English language in no time limit until the end of 2019. Two reviewers independently screened articles for congruence with eligibility criteria, engaged in data extraction, and assessed quality of the included studies. Meta-aggregation was performed to synthesize the findings. A protocol was developed by two members of the review team prior to initiation of the study.

RESULTS

Six studies were included in the review, three qualitative researches, one grounded theory and two interpretive descriptive approaches. Three key themes were identified from the studies: Nurses and web-based care plan; Patients and the web-based care plan; challenge of the hospital in relation to the web-based care plan.

CONCLUSIONS

nurses provide care to patients during the process of illness. Web-based nursing care plans have created to facilitate the treatment and care, and to helps patients in self-care. Nurses face many challenges and benefits in delivering web-based care, yet they strive to do their best to provide better patient care using new technologies for patients.
Delivering Benefits at Speed Through Real-World Repurposing of Off-Patent Drugs: The COVID-19 Pandemic as a Case in Point (Preprint)
Authors: Rogosnitzky Moshe , Berkowitz Esther , Jadad Alejandro R
Published: April 2020

UNSTRUCTURED

Real-world drug repurposing—the immediate “off-label” prescribing of drugs to address urgent clinical needs—is a widely overlooked opportunity. Off-label prescribing (ie, for a nonapproved indication) is legal in most countries and tends to shift the burden of liability and cost to physicians and patients, respectively. Nevertheless, health crises may mean that real-world repurposing is the only realistic source for solutions. Optimal real-world repurposing requires a track record of safety, affordability, and access for drug candidates. Although thousands of such drugs are already available, there is no central repository of off-label uses to facilitate immediate identification and selection of potentially useful interventions during public health crises. Using the current coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic as an example, we provide a glimpse of the extensive literature that supports the rationale behind six generic drugs, in four classes, all of which are affordable, supported by decades of safety data, and targeted toward the underlying pathophysiology that makes COVID-19 so deadly. This paper briefly summarizes why cimetidine or famotidine, dipyridamole, fenofibrate or bezafibrate, and sildenafil citrate are worth considering for patients with COVID-19. Clinical trials to assess efficacy are already underway for famotidine, dipyridamole, and sildenafil, and further trials of all these agents will be important in due course. These examples also reveal the unlimited opportunity to future-proof our health care systems by proactively mining, synthesizing, cataloging, and evaluating the off-label treatment opportunities of thousands of safe, well-established, and affordable generic drugs.
Simulation of cooling of a processor in nanosatellite using the loop heat pipes

Published: April 2020

One of the key problems in the development of nanosatellites is to provide a given temperature range for the operation of electronic equipment, the heat transfer of which can be tens of watts. Thermoregulation systems traditional for large spacecraft are not suitable for nanosatellites due to limitations on their mass and size characteristics. The indicated thermal regime of nanosatellites can be achieved using remote heat removal systems - miniature loop heat pipes. In recent years, their mass production has been established in Russia, but they have not yet found wide application in nanosatellites. The aim of the paper is to substantiate the possibility of using miniature loop heat pipes to remove excess heat from the on-board computer processor to the carbon-plastic case of the nanosatellite. Parametric modeling of the influence of geometric dimensions and the values of the effective thermal conductivity coefficient of loop heat pipes on the processor temperature was carried out in the ANSYS program. Calculations showed that the use of contour heat pipes will reduce the processor temperature to acceptable values. The anisotropy of the thermal conductivity coefficient in the reinforcement plane of the composite material of the nanosatellite case can have a significant effect on the temperature of the processor. This opens up prospects for the use of anisotropic composite materials to ensure the thermal regime of the nanosatellite.

Authors: June Junaidi
Published: April 2020

Until now, cervical cancer is still a cause of female mortality which is quite high, estimated at 4,900 people per year. When doctors diagnose a person suffering from a dangerous (chronic) disease such as cancer, there are three forms of emotional responses that may generally appear, namely rejection, anxiety and depression. Anxiety that often occurs in cervical cancer patients is a negative emotion that causes individuals to feel afraid, worried and concerned about something, the source is realistic or not, and ultimately motivates the individual to take concrete action in response to the existing anxiety.This study was conducted to examine the effect of CBT therapy in reducing anxiety levels of cervical cancer patients, using quantitative and qualitative research methods. The combination of quantitative and qualitative methods will help researchers to better understand the phenomenon being studied. The quantitative method in this study uses descriptive analysis.Based on the results obtained from this study, it was seen that there was a decrease in the degree of anxiety in cervical cancer patients who were the subject of this study after being intervened by using cognitive behavior therapy (CBT).An effective change occurs in cervical cancer sufferers after being given CBT therapy where positive effects are felt such as feeling calmer, more energetic and optimistic to recover in the face of the disease. Giving CBT therapy makes the process of cognitive assessment of patients to change. Social support that comes from families such as husband and children and the surrounding environment can provide strength and motivation to recover for patients with cervical cancer

In the last few decades, one of the ethical problems that has taken a lot of public attention is the hoax problem on social media. Social media, which was originally created as a medium to facilitate the delivery of messages and information, is actually being misused to spread false news which eventually breeds hatred and animosity. One philosopher who is famous for his thoughts on ethical concepts, namely Epicurean. This article will discuss how the Epikuros ethical concept and its relevance to social media problems. This paper is classified in library research and uses the hermeneutical descriptive method. The typology of Epicurean thought belongs to the ethical theory of hedonism, Epicurean in its ethical thought establishes pleasure or pleasure (hedone) as the highest ideal in human life. The intended enjoyment is not only from the material aspect, but the most important thing is the enjoyment of the soul which is referred to as ataraxia. To achieve ataraxia that is by trying to avoid suffering and anxiety. According to Epicureans, in order to avoid suffering and anxiety, humans must have the attitude of phronesis or prudence, which is interpreted as an attitude of vigilance. When connected with social media problems, this attitude of vigilance is very relevant and important to be owned by every individual as a user of social media, so as not to become part of the chain of hoax distribution.

Published: April 2020

RESUMENEl postmodernismo tiene los rasgos de un nuevo autoritarismo, que proclama certezas sobre la incertidumbre. Puntos centrales del postmodernismo como la muerte del sujeto y el fin del logocentrismo no son creíbles porque los pensadores postmodernistas son portadores del egocentrismo más delirante y porque transmiten sus teorías exclusivamente mediante procedimientos logocéntricos. En el área latinoamericana el postmodernismo es un nuevo dogma excluyente e intolerante que, casi sin transición, ha sustituido al marxismo.PALABRAS CLAVEPOSTMODERNISMO, AUTORITARISMO DISIMULADO, NUEVO DOGMATISMO, MUERTE DEL SUJETOABSTRACTPodtmodernism is properly speaking a new authoritarianism, which celebrates certainties about uncertainty. Central points of postmodernism, like the death of the subjects and the end of logocentrism, are not believable because postmodernist thinkers indulge in uttermost egotism and because the produce their theories only by means of logocentric proceedings. In the Latin American area postmoderninsm has proved to be a new, excluding and intolerant dogma, which has substituted Marxist currents almost without transition.KEYWORDSPOSTMODERNISM, DISGUISED AUTHORITARIANISM, NEW DOGMATISM, DEATH OF THE SUBJECT

De cómo el arte se convirtió en el arte
Authors: Puelles Romero Luis
Published: April 2020

RESUMENSe dedican estas pá´ginas a unos pocos comentarios surgidos de la lectura del libro de Larry Shiner "La invención del arte. Una historia cultural" (Barcelona, Paidós, 2004). Además de apreciable por sus contenidos, esta obra destaca por sus implicaciones epistemológicas, no siempre explicitadas, y su capacidad para reunir procedimientos historioráficos y objetos intelectuales de diversas disciplinas afines a lo artístico. Bajo la exigencia de una "historia cultural" Shiner consigue que la teoría estética y la teoría artística, instituidas en la modernidad, se encuentren con otros factores, materiales, como el mercado, el origen del público o la aparición de las casas de subastas, habitualmente poco presentes en los índices de las historias del arte y de la estética de mayor divulgación.PALABRAS CLAVEESTÉTICA-ARTE-MODERNIDADABSTRACTThese pages deal with some reflections upon the book by Larry Shiner "The Invention of Art" (Barcelona, Paidós, 2004). In addition to its remarkable contents, this work is outstanding due to its epistemological presuppositions, not always explicitly mentioned, and its ability to join historiographic devices and intellectual subjects from various diciplines related to the artistic domain.. Under the scope of a "cultural history", Shiner succeeds in making that artistic theory and aesthetics theory, both of them institutionalised in modernity, encounter other material factors such as the market, the emergence of the public or the auction´s houses rarely mentioned in the usual table of contents of books about history of art and aesthetics.KEYWORDSAESTHETICS-ART-MODERNITY
Bergson: duración psicológica y acto libre
Authors: Rodríguez Serón Alicia

RESUMENLa duración ha sido una de las nociones que ha hecho célebre la filosofía bergsoniana y es, sin duda, su noción central. La encontramos presente ya en el Ensayo (1889) referida a la vida psicológica. Más tarde, en La evolución creadora (1907), Bergson la extiende a los seres vivos, a la evolución de las especies y, posteriormente, a todo el universo. Es pues, el tejido mismo de lo real. centrándonos en la duración "psicológica", este trabajo pretende mostrar la concepción bergsoniana del acto libre y la libertad que de ella se desprende. PALABRAS CLAVEDURACION-ACTO LIBRE-TIEMPO FISICO-CONSCIENCIAABSTRACTThe duration has been one of the concepts wich has made Bergson's philosophhy famous and it is undoubtly its key concept. We already find it present in Essai (1889) concerning psychological life, and later on, in L'evolution creatrice (1907). Bergson extends it to living beings, to the evolution of the species and still to whole universe. Therefore, it is the very "stuff" of reality. being imposible to deal with this concept under these aspects, in this paper, we will focus on the "psychological" duration, in order to demonstrate that this notion means a conception of the free act and the freedom concerned. KEYWORDSDURATION-FREE ACT-PHYSICAL TIMES-CONCIOUSNESS

Published: April 2020

This study aimed to verify the validity of session-RPE method to monitor the internal training load (ITL) in beach volleyball players by considering sessions related to different genders, competition levels (elite or amateur), and types of session (conditioning, technical, or tactical/game). Session-RPE and Edwards’ methods were applied to quantify the ITLs of 12 elite (18 players; 197 individual sessions) and 12 amateur (18 players; 189 individual sessions) training sessions. Very large relationships between the two methods emerged for both competition level (Elite: r=.77; Amateur: r=.75) and gender (male: r=.76; female: r=.75) subgroups, and conditioning sessions (r=.75). Large relationships emerged for technical (r=.61) sessions, whereas tactical/game sessions resulted only in moderate relationships (r=.36). Beach volleyball coaches could adequately use session-RPE method to monitor training for players of different genders, competition levels, and types of session, although tactical/game sessions should be considered with some caution.

O Brasil apresenta a maior biodiversidade do planeta. E, a Amazônia é a região que mais colabora para essas estatísticas. Quando se referem aos Animais Silvestres (AS), o interesse por esses datam desde a chegada dos portugueses no Brasil, divulgando para o mundo todo a exuberância que essa região possuía. Atualmente, os AS na Amazônia são muito requisitados na dieta alimentar dessa região, em decorrência da necessidade de ingestão de proteína. Além disso, a população apresenta o hábito de ter em posse AS como estimação. O objetivo deste artigo é de identificar quais AS foram apreendidos, nos estado do Pará e Amazonas, e de mostrar também a área de atuação do órgão competente que rege a temática. Para isso, foi requisitado aos IBAMA dos estados do Pará e Amazonas os Relatório de Auto de Infração, onde constam os AS apreendidos e as cidades onde houve autuações deste Instituto. Deste modo, os resultados apontam que no estado do Pará os AS mais apreendidos foram as aves e no Amazonas foram os répteis. Com relação as cidades de autuação, em todos os dois estados foram visitadas mais de 50%, porém essas visitas são esporádicas ao longo dos anos. Com isso, conclui-se que nos estados do Pará e Amazonas há apreensões por parte do IBAMA, mas que precisam ter maior frequência anual em suas visitas.      A B S T R A C TBrazil has the greatest biodiversity in the world and Amazon is the region that more contributes for these statistics. When referring to Wild Animals (AS), the interest in these are from the arrival of Portuguese in Brazil, disclosing to world all exuberance of this region. Currently, the AS in Amazon are in the diet of the animals of this region due to the need of protein intake. Besides, the population has the habit to take possession of wild animals as pets. The purpose of this article is to identify which AS were seized in the State of Para and Amazonas. For this, was requested to the Ibama of the States of Pará and Amazonas the High Infringement Reports that contain the AS seized and the cities rated by this Institute. The results indicate that in the State of Pará the most AS seized were birds and in Amazon region were reptiles. . It was concluded that in the States of Para and Amazonas there are seizures by IBAMA, but they need higher annual frequency of visits. Key words: Wild animals, Amazon, Seizure, Ibama, Illegality.

Este estudo identificou e analisou o comportamento de circulações locais induzidas pela topografia no Vale do Paraíba e na Serra da Mantiqueira, entre os dias 16 e 22 de agosto de 2010, por meio de uma simulação numérica com o modelo WRF. O modelo foi dirigido com as saídas do GFS-FNL e a simulação validada com dados de estações meteorológicas. Os maiores valores de correlação entre simulação e observação foram obtidos para a temperatura do ar e menores para a intensidade e direção dos ventos. Mesmo assim, o WRF foi capaz de representar as mudanças no sentido do vento associadas à circulação de brisa vale e montanha. O modelo simulou durante o dia a brisa de vale e durante à noite, a brisa de montanha. A brisa de vale iniciou-se aproximadamente entre 10 UTC e 14 UTC e a de montanha às 22 UTC, sendo que a fase de transição entre a brisa de montanha para a de vale ocorreu entre as 16 e 20 UTC. Os resultados obtidos também são apresentados por meio de seções verticais das células de circulação de brisa.

No sul de Minas Gerais, o manejo de pastagem utilizando o fogo é comum. Poucos trabalhos abordam o efeito do fogo na qualidade do solo por meio da associação de atributos físicos, químicos e microbiológicos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito imediato do fogo sobre atributos físicos, químicos e microbiológicos de solo de pastagem, classificado como Argissolo Vermelho Amarelo, de modo a observar a sua atuação como indicadores do impacto desse manejo. Foram estudados dois ambientes, queimado e não queimado, os quais foram subdivididos em 5 parcelas cada, com amostragem de solo emtrês profundidades (0-5 cm, 5-10 cm e 10-20 cm), para avaliação dos atributos físicos (textura, DMG, DMP, índice de floculação, macro e microporosidade, porosidade total), químicos (fertilidade básica) e microbiológicos (atividade e biomassa microbianas, quociente metabólico, densidade total de celulolíticos, amonificantes, desnitrificantes, nitrificantes e bactérias diazotróficas rizosféricas). O fogo não promoveu efeito na estrutura do solo e nos grupos microbianos estudados. Porém, proporcionou, na superfície do solo, maiores teores de P e K, e impactos negativos na biomassa microbiana e quociente metabólico, considerados bons indicadores do efeito do fogo na pastagem.  A B S T R A C T The pasture management using fire is common. Few studies address the effects of fire on soil quality through the combination of physical, chemical and microbiological attributes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the immediate effect of fire on physical, chemical and microbiological pasture soil, in the southeast of Minas Gerais, classified as Red Yellow Ultisol, in order to observe their performance as the impact of management indicators. Two environments were studied burned and unburned, which were divided into five portions each with soil sampling at three depths (0-5 cm, 5-10 cm and 10-20 cm) for evaluation of physical attributes (texture, DMG, DMP, flocculation index, macro and microporosity, total porosity), chemical (basic fertility) and microbiological (activity and microbial biomass, metabolic quotient, total density of cellulolytic, ammonifiers, denitrifiers, nitrifiers and rhizospheric diazotrophic bacteria). The fire did not cause effect on soil structure and microbial groups studied. However, it provided, on the soil surface, higher levels of P and K, and negative impacts on microbial biomass and metabolic quotient, considered good indicators of the effect of fire on pasture.

A Reserva Faunística Costeira de Tibau do Sul (REFAUTS), praia de Pipa, RN, vem sofrendo transformações quanto ao uso e ocupação do solo, como consequência do crescimento turístico na região. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o uso e ocupação da REFAUTS ao longo de quatro décadas. Foram utilizadas quatro imagens de satélite dos anos 1984, 1994, 2004 e 2015. Estas foram classificadas tematicamente de acordo com categorias predeterminadas (água, vegetação arbórea, vegetação herbácea e edificações/solo exposto). Adicionalmente, foram registrados os empreendimentos turísticos na Zona de Uso Restrito e Controlado da Reserva. A partir da análise temporal, verificou-se que a REFAUTS, com apenas 555 km² de área total, sofreu impactos ambientais negativos. De 1984 a 2015, a porcentagem de área ocupada por vegetação arbórea foi reduzida em 0,57% e por vegetação herbácea, 4,33%. Entretanto, a área ocupada por edificações/solo exposto aumentou em 4,49%. Foram registrados em 2015 cerca de 29 empreendimentos comerciais operando na Zona de Uso Restrito e Controlado da Reserva. Dessa forma, torna-se necessário o ordenamento do uso e ocupação do solo na REFAUTS, que possui áreas frágeis como falésias, e ecologicamente relevantes, como remanescentes de restinga e Mata Atlântica.    A B S T R A C T The Coastal Fauna Reserve of Tibau do Sul (REFAUTS), Pipa beach, RN, has been suffering transformations in the use and occupation of the soil, as a consequence of the tourist growth in the region. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the use and occupation of REFAUTS over four decades. We used four satellite images from the years 1984, 1994, 2004 and 2015. These images were thematically classified according to predetermined categories (water, tree vegetation, herbaceous vegetation and buildings/ exposed soil). Additionally, we recorded commercial enterprise in Restricted and Controlled Use Zone of the Reserve. From the temporal analysis, we recorded that REFAUTS, with only 555 km2 of total area, suffered negative environmental impacts. From 1984 to 2015, the percentage of area occupied by tree vegetation was reduced by 0.57% and by herbaceous vegetation, 4.33%. However, the area occupied by buildings/exposed soil increased by 4.49%. We registered in 2015 about 29 commercial enterprise operating in the Restricted and Controlled Use Zone of the Reserve. Thus, it is necessary to organize the use and occupation of the soil in the REFAUTS, which has fragile areas such as cliffs, and ecologically relevant, such as remnants of restinga and Mata Atlântica.

Esse trabalho visa fazer a caracterização neotectônica da área de estudo por meio da análise morfológica da rede de drenagem e de cálculos morfométricos destinados à detecção de tectônica recente. A área em questão está localizada em um gráben pós-mioceno onde podem ser observados riscos geológico-geomorfológicos e impactos ambientais provenientes da intensa intervenção antropogênica. Para a realização desse estudo fez-se necessário uma pesquisa e o levantamento de dados pretéritos sobre a área de estudo tomando como base os dados obtidos por meio da vetorização das cartas topográficas de Goiana e Tejucupapo na escala de 1:25.000 com equidistância das curvas de nível de 10 m. Foram utilizadas técnicas de geoprocessamento para geração dos produtos cartográficos: cartas hipsométrica, de declividade e o Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE). Os cálculos morfométricos aplicados para a análise neotectônica foram o Índice Relação Declividade/Extensão (RDE) e o índice Razão Fundo/Altura de Vale (RFAV). Os resultados obtidos indicam uma forte influência neotectônica no padrão de drenagem da área, assim como também, fica evidenciado a interferência antropogênica presente na área investigada e suas adjacências.  A B S T R A C T This article aims to make neotectonics characterization of the study area by making the morphological analysis of the drainage network and morphometric calculations for the recent tectonics detection. The area in question is located in a post-Miocene graben where it can be observed geological and geomorphological hazards and environmental impacts from intense anthropogenic intervention. For the realization of this study was necessary research and survey of past data on the study area based on the data obtained through vectorization of topographic maps of Goiana and Tejucupapo on the scale of 1:25.000 with equidistance of 10 m curves level. Geoprocessing techniques were used for generation of cartographic products: hipsometric letters, slope and digital elevation model (DEM). Morphometric calculations applied to the neotectonic analysis were the Index Value Slope/Extension (RDE) and the index Reason Fund/Valley Height (RFAV). The results indicate a strong neotectonics influence in the drainage pattern of the area, as also evidenced anthropogenic interference present in the investigated area and its surroundings. Keywords: Graben of the Goiana River; neotectonics; anthropogenic interventions.

O presente estudo foi desenvolvido para a represa de Nova Ponte, localizada no estado de Minas Gerais. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o comportamento e as possíveis causas da concentração de Nitrato na represa de Nova Ponte. Foram empregadas técnicas de Geoprocessamento e avaliando-se o uso do solo, as classes de solos e o aporte por descarga de esgoto bruto das cidades no entorno da represa. Para a realização do trabalho foram coletados cinquenta e nove pontos amostrais distribuídos ao longo de toda a represa onde foram obtidos a concentração de Nitrato em agosto de 2007 e espacializado para a represam empregando-se geoestatistica, foi elaborado o mapa de uso e ocupação do entorno da represa e digitalizado o mapa de solos da região, além da espacialização dos centros urbanos no entorno da represa e a quantificação da distância destes à represa. Analisando conjuntamente o uso do solo, as classes de solo e o aporte de esgoto bruto nos tributários da represa e contrapondo-se às regiões de maiores concentrações de Nitrato, conclui-se que tais concentrações seriam advindas do esgoto bruto e não da agropecuária nesta região.   A B S T R A C T The presence of nitrate in water bodies can promote the appearance of algae and other aquatic plants affecting the quality of these for various uses. Depending on the concentration you can also promote the development of methemoglobinemia, of certain types of cancer, so studies related to determining the concentration and the possible contribution of causes are extremely important. This study was conducted for the dam of Nova Ponte, located in the Minas Gerais states. The aim of this study was to analyze the behavior and the possible causes of the nitrate concentration in the Nova Ponte Dam. It was done using GIS techniques and also evaluating the land use, the soil types and the possible contribution of the raw sewage discharge of the cities surrounding the dam. To conduct the study were collected fifty nine sampling points distributed throughout the dam in August 2007 and spatialized for dam employing geostatistics, and it was prepared the use and occupation of the surrounding map dam and digitized the region of soil map, in addition to the spatial distribution of urban centers in the vicinity of the dam and the quantification of the distance between the cite to the dam. Analyzing together the land use, the soil classes and the raw sewage inflow in the dam tributaries and contrasting to the regions of higher concentrations of nitrate, it is concluded that such concentrations would be coming from the raw sewage and not from the agriculture in this region.

Objetivo: Evaluar la herramienta Palliative Prognostic Score (PaP Score) en pacientes con cáncer avanzado atendidos en la unidad de cuidados paliativos y dolor en el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, Bogotá, Colombia.

Materiales y métodos: A una muestra de 100 pacientes atendidos por el grupo de Cuidados paliativos, ingresados al área de hospitalización del Instituto Nacional de Cancerología de Bogotá, desde el 13 octubre de 2015, seleccionados consecutivamente, se les aplicó el índice pronóstico de supervivencia PaP Score, para establecer clasificación de supervivencia (grupos A, B y C) a 30 días. Se analizó la supervivencia, usando el método de Kaplan-Meier y el test de log-rank para comparar la distribución de la supervivencia en los tres grupos del PaP Score.

Resultados: El PaP Score dividió la muestra de pacientes en tres categorías pronósticas: 15 pacientes en el grupo A (con una probabilidad de supervivencia a un mes mayor del 70%), 36 pacientes en el grupo B (con una probabilidad del 30 al 70%) y 49 pacientes en el grupo C (con una probabilidad menor del 30%). El porcentaje de pacientes vivos a los 30 días estuvo dentro de los límites esperables en cada grupo; así, en el grupo A (probabilidad de supervivencia mayor de 70%) fue de 93,3%, en el grupo B (probabilidad del 30 al 70%) fue 41,7%, y en el grupo C (probabilidad menor de 30%) fue del 8,1%.

Conclusiones: El uso del índice PaP Score permite clasificar a los pacientes en tres categorías pronósticas de supervivencia ofreciendo una opción para la estimación clínica de la misma, en pacientes con cáncer avanzado, atendidos en una unidad de cuidados paliativos; esta herramienta es fundamento para que el médico especialista optimice y enfoque los cuidados al final de la vida del paciente y su familia.

Published: April 2020

O número de crianças diagnosticadas com o Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo (TEA) está cada vez mais significativo e as metodologias de ensino voltadas para esse público se fazem essenciais para a inclusão desses indivíduos nas escolas. As adaptações curriculares e as estratégias de ensino asseguram esse direito aos alunos portadores do TEA. Muitas estratégias podem ser utilizadas e nesse estudo buscou-se avaliar três delas sob a perspectiva de professores da educação básica. Os métodos de ensino foram avaliados através de um questionário aplicado aos professores do ensino regular. Os resultados indicaram que os professores possuem conhecimento a respeito das estratégias que estão disponíveis para a utilização com alunos portadores de TEA, mas ainda sentem necessidade de se aprimorarem para sua adequada utilização. A maioria acredita que as escolas não estão preparadas para receber esses alunos em termos de estrutura, acessibilidade e materiais didáticos específicos. Pode-se concluir que mesmo com as políticas de incentivo à inclusão, ainda existem limitações tanto dos profissionais como da infraestrustura das escolas, de modo que, programas de capacitação e outras políticas públicas devam ser ampliadas para esse atendimento.
