Published: November 2023

This research investigates the relationships between growth opportunity, net working capital, and cash conversion cycle with cash holdings of publicly listed automotive companies on the Indonesian stock exchange during the live years (2017-2021). The data used in this research was obtained from 14 publicly listed automotive companies, and collected through saturation sampling. This research employs a panel data regression model due to the data in this research sharing the characteristic of the data panel where the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is assumed to be an appropriate model because the value of intercept in this research is individually different. Using Eviews 12, the first step is to assess whether the data follows a normal distribution and to evaluate the suitability of the FEM for this research. Finally, the estimation process is conducted to present the result of this research. This research shows that growth opportunities, net working capital, and cash conversion cycles simultaneously affect cash holding with an 80.17% confidence in explaining variations in cash holdings. However in partial, growth opportunity and cash conversion cycle do not affect cash holding, while net working capital negatively influences cash holding.

Zmodernizowana przestrzeń architektury Szwajcarii
Authors: Nesterowicz Karolina
Published: November 2023

Współczesna architektura Szwajcarii swoje początki zawdzięcza Le Corbusierowi, który był jej prekursorem. Modernizm, który został przez niego rozpoczęty charakteryzuje się estetyką puryzmu i wprowadzeniem w latach pięćdziesiątych brutalizmu. Próbował połączyć ludzką egzystencję ze społeczeństwem przemysłowym, budując Jednostkę Marsylską. Współczesna architektura to unowocześnienie architektury historycznej oraz postawienie człowieka w centrum miejskiej przestrzeni.Oprócz Le Corbusiera modernistycznym architektem jest Peter Zumthor, Aldo Rossi, Mario Botta, Anette Gigon i Mike Guyer , Jacques Herzoga i Pierre de Meuron, Roger Diener czy Max Frish. Wielu szwajcarskich architektów przyczyniło się do stworzenia budowli, które miały służyć jako przestrzeń dla społeczeństwa, na przykład: muzea, uzdrowiska, budynki użytku publicznego. Używane materiały budowlane to beton, drewno i szkło, które umożliwiają stworzenie przemyślanej, oryginalnej i ponadczasowej architektury. Zdaniem wielu, architektura Szwajcarii została zaprojektowana idealnie pod jej kulturę i pejzaż. Należy przy tym pamiętać, że architekturę tworzą ludzie, posługując się swoją pomysłowością, wyobraźnią i wizją zagospodarowania danej przestrzeni. Przy projektowaniu każdemu twórcy powinna towarzyszyć oryginalność i kreatywność, która będzie określać ich styl projektowania, pozwoli im wyróżniać się na tle innych. Podczas tworzenia jednak powinien zachowany zostać pewien rytm, aby w efekcie końcowym nie powstał chaos czy też totalna abstrakcja. Projekty unowocześniają historyczną architekturę, nie zaburzając i nie zmieniając drastycznie jej charakteru. Wzniesione budowle wzbogacają i ożywiają szwajcarski skansen łagodnymi kontrastami i nowoczesnymi akcentami. Opisany kraj posiada przykłady każdego ważnego kierunku w europejskiej architekturze. Miasta i wsie zachowały wiele z ich osadniczej struktury. Jednymi z ciekawszych atrakcji architektonicznych są budynki mieszkalne, prezentujące oryginalne i regionalne cechy charakterystyczne dla Szwajcarii.

Authors: Lewandowska Natalia
Published: November 2023

Dynamiczny rozwój turystyki winiarskiej, nazywanej również enoturystyką, nastąpił od drugiej połowy lat 90. XX wieku. Obecne badania i artykuły na temat enoturystyki są ukierunkowane na motywy, miejsca turystów zainteresowanych turystyką winiarską. Z perspektywy produktu turystycznego, enoturystyka to popyt i podaż. To badanie form zachowań konsumenckich, turystów biorących udział w wycieczkach oraz podróżujących do regionów winiarskich. Ważnym aspektem turystyki winiarskiej jest sam komponent, czyli wino. Niewątpliwie od zamierzchłych czasów jest istotnym elementem kultury i rozwoju cywilizacji. Miało duży wpływ na zachowania danej społeczności, ale również wytwarzaniu nowych form kultury, w których wino było głównym motywem przewodnim. Są to między innymi festiwale, wydarzenia czy biesiady o tematyce wina. Wino odgrywało ogromną rolę w tworzeniu relacji między członkami danej społeczności, ale także jej podtrzymaniu. W niektórych kulturach na świecie, wino wciąż jest jednym z ważniejszych jej elementów i cech charakterystycznych. Nieodłączną częścią enoturystyki jest sposób wytwarzania wina, czyli proces jego produkcji. Dlatego odnotowuje się duże zainteresowanie wśród turystów turystyki winiarskiej, odwiedzinami winnic i winiarni. Uczestnicy chętnie biorą udział w prelekcjach i wykładach prowadzonych przez lokalnych przedsiębiorców, na temat produkcji wina. Głównym motywem artykułu jest dynamiczny rozwój turystyki winiarskiej w przestrzeni turystycznej Vancouver. Do szczegółowych założeń niniejszego opracowania należy charakterystyka turystyki i jej rozwoju w Kolumbii Brytyjskiej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem regionów turystycznych, charakterystyka turystyki winiarskiej w Kolumbii Brytyjskiej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem podziału na regiony zagospodarowania turystycznego. Turystyka winiarska jest nieodłącznym elementem wykreowanego produktu turystycznego. Ponadto, trasa zawiera aspekty kulturowe, społeczne oraz przyrodnicze. Trasa turystyczna zawiera elementy enoturystyki, które w znacznym stopniu nawiązują do turystyki kulturowej. W artykule zdefiniowano czym jest turystyka winiarska, oraz wyodrębniono jej rodzaje. Następnie scharakteryzowano główne motywy podróży turystów do regionów winiarskich. Uwzględniono również wpływ turystyki winiarskiej na przestrzeń miasta Vancouver oraz wpływ branży turystycznej na gospodarkę regionalną. W dalszej kolejności został poruszony temat turystyki i ruchu turystycznego w Kolumbii Brytyjskiej. W ramach zobrazowania natężenia ruchu turystycznego, dokonano także analizy danych statystycznych dotyczących liczby turystów z poszczególnych krajów. Bez wątpienia przemysł turystyczny jest jednym z największych gałęzi gospodarki w Kolumbii Brytyjskiej. Prowincja jest zaliczana do najbardziej popularnych wśród podróżnych destynacji turystycznych na zachodnim wybrzeżu Kanady.
Edukacja geograficzna jako przestrzeń partycypacji
Authors: Abramowicz Dawid
Published: November 2023

Przedmiotem opracowania są formy partycypacji szkolnej odnoszące się do szkolnej edukacji geograficznej. Zastosowano dwie metody badań - analizę porównawczą oraz sondaż z wykorzystaniem kwestionariusza geoankiety. Wynikiem tych badań było wyróżnienie najważniejszych treści wybranych podstaw programowych oraz opracowań geograficzno-dydaktycznych odnoszących się do partycypacji szkolnej, a także rozpoznanie form tej partycypacji uczniów i nauczycieli. Wykorzystując geoankietę jako przykład Partycypacyjnych Systemów Informacji Geograficznej zaprezentowano studium przypadku z Poznania: opracowanie przez nauczycieli mapy cyfrowej wspierającej organizację zajęć terenowych. Stwierdzono, że uczniowie i nauczyciele rzadko podejmują inicjatywy o charakterze partycypacji. Istotną przesłanką do podjęcia takich działań są zarówno globalne wyzwania ekologiczne, jak i stan środowiska lokalnego. Wśród działań uczniów o charakterze partycypacji są takie, które wymagają aktywności praktyczno-technicznej oraz emocjonalno-artystycznej (kulturalnej). Ich przykładami są utworzenie pomocy dydaktycznej lub zorganizowanie wydarzenia o tematyce ekologicznej, mającego związek z zajęciami terenowymi realizowanymi poza budynkiem szkoły. Potrzebne jest zaproponowanie metod (lub strategii) kształcenia, która sprzyjałaby zwiększeniu częstości występowania inicjatyw o charakterze partycypacji w szkolnej edukacji geograficznej. Przedstawione w pracy wyniki badań oraz ustalenia stanowią część dysertacji doktorskiej D. Abramowicza pt. „Partycypacja społeczna a edukacja geograficzna - znaczenie Partycypacyjnych Systemów Informacji Geograficznej w organizowaniu zajęć terenowych (2022).
Focusing mit traumatisierten PatientInnen in der Personzentrierten Psychotherapie

Gendlin hat uns mit dem Focusing nicht nur das Prinzip von Veränderung näher gebracht, sondern auch eine hilfreiche Landkarte zur Verfügung gestellt, um Klientinnen und Klienten sicher und hilfreich durch den Prozess der Trauma-Verarbeitung oder Trauma-Neuverhandlung sowie zur Integration und Transformation von psychischen Traumata zu führen. Ein wichtiges Prinzip in der Traumatherapie besteht darin, dass wir weder regressiv noch kathartisch, sondern gegenwartsbezogen, ressourcenorientiert und mit der Empfindungsebene arbeiten. Psychoedukation und Leading sind wichtig und nötig in der Therapie mit traumatisierten Menschen, um nicht re-traumatisierend zu wirken.
Nurturing Hope Through Reciprocity
Authors: Bachner Ingrid
Published: November 2023

Climate change has become a mainstream concern, with proposed solutions focusing on mitigating the impact of environmental degradation on human lives.  I use Toronto’s High Park as a case study to explore why an essential aspect of achieving profound and enduring environmental restoration involves recognizing the deep interconnectedness between human beings and what we commonly refer to as “nature”.  High Park’s black oak savannah was managed for thousands of years by Indigenous peoples, who used fire to maintain the savannah’s open canopy and activate seeds.  European colonization halted these burns, leading to most of the savannah being lost to closed-canopy forests and invasive plants; globally, less than one percent of oak savannah ecosystems remain.  Amid despair, we rekindle our hope through prescribed burns, stewardship programs, and the planting of grasses and wildflowers with long-stand relationships with the land; we know that hope is a discipline where collective commitment and action are essential.  Indigenous knowledge and storytelling remind us of our responsibility of reciprocity to the land and all our relations.  We sow these seeds of hope and trust they will flourish and generate new life, much like ancestral seeds activated by fire.
Callus Regeneration of Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr. In Vitro
Authors: Syahid Sitti Fatimah , Seti Lusia
Published: November 2023

Gynura procumbens (Lour.) Merr. is one of the species of Asteraceae which is potential as medicinal. Propagation of the species could be conducted by vegetative, so the plant genetic variability is narrow. Genetic variability could be increased by somaclonal variation through callus culture. There is no report on in vitro regeneration from callus culture, although this method could assist further genetic improvement of plants. In this experiment, different concentrations of 2,4- D (0.1 ; 0.3 ; 0.5 mg L -1 ) singly or combination with BA (0.1 ; 0.3 and 0.5 mg L -1 ) were evaluated for callus induction and several concentrations of BA (0 ; 0.1; 0.5 and 1.0 mg -1 ) combination with kinetin (0.1 and 0.3 mg-1) were observed for ability of callus formed shoots. The results showed that the best media for callus induction was 0.5 mg L -1 2,4-D + 0.5 mg L -1 BA. This treatment produced friable callus structure, no roots and yellowish white. Callus regeneration was obtained on the combination of 0.1 mg L -1 BA. + 0.1 mg L -1 kinetin and 0.1 mg L -1 BA + 0.5 mg L -1 kinetin but the percentage was still low. Keywords: G procumbens {Lour.} Merr, induction, regeneration, calli, in vitro

Keanekaragaman Vegetasi Pada Habitat Yang Terinvasi Tumbuhan Invasif Di Hutan Kota Bukit Langkisau Painan, Sumatra Barat
Authors: Sehati Dika Putri , Solfiyeni Solfiyeni
Published: November 2023

The presence of invasive plants in a habitat will cause significant disturbances, especially in decreasing the abundance of biodiversity. The high competitiveness of invasive species causes native species to lose in competition. Invasive species have spread in many places, one of which is in the Bukit Langkisau City Forest. However, data on the types of weeds and vegetation types in the habitats invaded by weeds in the Bukit Langkisau City Forest are not yet available. Vegetation analysis was carried out in the Bukit Langkisau Painan City Forest, West Sumatra. The study used a survey method by laying out plots by purposive sampling, which made 15 plots at each level of vegetation. The plot is 10 x 10 m for observation of tree-level vegetation, the plot is 5 x 5 m for sapling vegetation and for understorey vegetation the plot is 2 x 2 m. The results of the vegetation analysis recorded 87 species of which there were 32 invasive species. The dominant families were found such as Fabaceae family, Meliaceae for tree level, Piperaceae for sapling level and Poaceae for understorey level. The highest Importance Value Index for tree vegetation, sapling and understorey was found in the invasive species Swietenia macrophylla (IVI = 44.69%), Piper aduncum (IVI = 85.08%), and Imperata cylindrica (IVI = 33.67%). The Vegetation Diversity Index in the Bukit Langkisau City Forest is the tree level (1.90), sapling (1.26) and understorey (1.78) which are all classified as moderate. KEYWORDSPlant invasive, urban forest, composition, structure, diversity index

Contributory roles of concentration and pH in CaCO3 growth inhibition by additive Ca2+ ions
Authors: Majekodunmi Olukayode , Kilic Sevgi , Ozdemir Ekrem
Published: November 2023

CaCO3 particles grow excessively upon chemical precipitation in the absence of impurities or growth inhibitors. Additive Ca2+ ions have been shown to preferentially adsorb on CaCO3 precipitates, effectively inhibiting their growth and promoting the crystallization of pure calcite without an observable intermediate phase. This phenomenon can be adapted towards the synthesis of small calcite particles from a conventional chemical precipitation method. Complementing such effort, this study discusses the influence of additive Ca2+ ions concentration and solution pH on the extent of CaCO3 growth inhibition. Equal volumes of equimolar CaCl2 and Na2CO3 solutions were mixed in a tubular reactor at a constant flowrate. The precipitates were continuously dispersed in Ca(OH)2 solution, where Ca2+ ions irreversibly adsorb on their surfaces. Compared to conditions where additive Ca2+ ions are absent, this method can produce more than 90% decrease in particle size. The results show the degree of growth inhibition increases as the concentration of additive Ca2+ ions increase. However, it is limited by increasing volume of precipitates. This study also reveals an unusual role of media pH. Here, growth inhibition that leads to the synthesis of monodisperse submicron CaCO3 particles is only observed in high alkaline pH conditions. This is due to the hydration of additive Ca2+ ions in low pH conditions. While additive Ca2+ ions adsorb on CaCO3 precipitates in pH conditions above the isoelectric point (pH ≈ 9), their ability to limit CaCO3 growth diminishes when pH < 12.
Physics Constrained Multi-objective Bayesian Optimization to Accelerate 3D Printing of Thermoplastics
Authors: Sattari Kianoosh , Wu Yuchao , Chen Zhenru , Mahjoubnia Alireza , Su Changhua , Lin Jian
Published: November 2023

Vat photopolymerization (VPP) of thermoplastics faces an issue of unpredictable printability due to the involved competing photopolymerization and dissolution reactions. The printing outcome largely depends on physicochemical properties of monomers and their compositions in resins, which also greatly determine the material properties, e.g., strength/toughness and phase transition temperature (Tg). Thus, a methodology for optimizing the resin formulation is of paramount importance in realizing highly printable thermoplastics with balanced strength/toughness and target Tg while remaining largely underexplored. Herein, we introduce a multi-objective Bayesian optimization (MOBO) algorithm with two physics informed constraints (printability and Tg) to optimize two conflicting properties: tensile strength (σT) and toughness (UT). The two constraints are formulated as two machine learning (ML) models, which are trained with weight ratios of the six input monomers and physics informed (PI) descriptors derived from their physiochemical parameters. Dimensional reduction analysis reveals that the algorithm avoids recommendation of the monomer ratios that do not pass the two constraints. The printing failure rate is reduced from 16% in the background experiments to 3% in the recommended experiments. Within only 36 iterations (72 samples), the MOBO algorithm successfully identifies five sets of ratios leading to Pareto optimal of σT and UT. Due to the constraint in Tg they show appropriate Tg for shape memory application. The partial dependence analysis indicates that σT and UT depend on both the ratios and physiochemical features of the monomers. These results underscore capability of such a smart decision-making algorithm—with constraints that are not fully understood but can be informed by prior knowledge—in planning the experiments from the vast design space, thus holding a great promise for broader applications in materials and manufacturing.
Multi-Variable Multi-Metric Optimisation of Self-Assembled Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction Performance using Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: Bonke Shannon , Trezza Giovanni , Bergamasco Luca , Song Hongwei , Rodríguez-Jiménez Santiago , Hammarström Leif , Chiavazzo Eliodoro , Reisner Erwin
Published: November 2023

The sunlight-driven reduction of CO2 into fuels and platform chemicals is a promising approach to enable a circular economy. However, established optimisation approaches are poorly suited to multi-variable multi-metric photocatalytic systems because they aim to optimise one performance metric while sacrificing the others and thereby limit overall system performance. Herein, we address this multi-metric challenge by defining a metric for holistic system performance that takes all figures of merit into account, and employ a machine learning algorithm to efficiently guide our experiments through the large parameter matrix to make holistic optimisation accessible for human experimentalists. As a test platform, we employ a five-component system that self-assembles into photocatalytic micelles for CO2-to-CO reduction, which we experimentally optimised to simultaneously improve yield, quantum yield, turnover number, and frequency while maintaining high selectivity. Leveraging the dataset with machine learning algorithms allows quantification of each parameter’s effect on overall system performance. The buffer concentration is unexpectedly revealed as the dominating parameter for optimal performance, and is nearly four times more important than the catalyst concentration. The expanded use and standardisation of this methodology to define and optimise holistic performance will accelerate progress in different areas of catalysis by providing unprecedented insights into performance bottlenecks, enhancing comparability, and taking results beyond comparison of subjective figures of merit.

Published: November 2023

This research offers a gugak class plan designed for teaching gugak (Korean
traditional music) in a higher level of lifelong education linking remote and
face-to-face classes. By examining educational goal and the request of both the
program provider and the middle-aged and elderly student group, this study aims
to scrutinize conceptional expansion of gugak education, and to suggest
theoretical ground with a concrete example that can elevate the quality of lifelong
education. The gugak class, as a part of college liberal arts program, is designed
to raise a culturally creative person and to help them understand rapidly changing
contemporary society. It is supposed to provide students with some aspects of
sentimental relief, social interaction, and access to musical practice. Students are
expected to listen to gugak from a critical perspective on the basis of
understanding its aesthetic values. All the class works as well as academic
discussions are planned to deal with contemporary social issues in relation to
gugak. Along with the knowledge, the gugak class should be able to guide the
students with how to take advantage of gugak infrastructure, such as local concert
venues and free performances, so the middle-aged and elderly students, by
themselves, can enjoy and understand the music for the rest of their life, not to
mention the inspiration for further academic or professional challenge.

Authors:   National Gugak Center, Jeong Youngsun
Published: November 2023

This study devises a method for instructing the creative activity of 'Making Class
Bells' using the tone of Korean traditional instruments from the gugak (Korean
traditional music) digital sound source provided by the National Gugak Center.
First, as a result of reviewing the aspects of gugak creation content included in
the 2015 revised middle school music textbook, there were no creative activities
utilizing the tones of gugak instruments. Based on the reviewed contents, an
instruction plan of the creative activity using the tone of gugak instruments
consists of four steps: the step of exploring gugak instruments, the step of
distinguishing the tones of gugak instruments, the step of utilizing the tones of
gugak instruments, and the step of submitting what they created. Following these
steps, the creative activity of 'Making Class Bell', made up of eight classes, was
applied to the first-year middle school students in Seocho-gu, Seoul. The first
result is that students were able to experience the tone of gugak instruments and
further the harmony of sound. Second, they were able to practice gugak in their
life. Third, this activity shows that the gugak creative education using digital
media can become active. Fourth, they can enjoy various gugak instruments. Fifth,
they can develop their creativity through the composition activity.

Introdução: Os tumores cerebrais primários de alto grau são comumente encontrados na idade adulta, representando cerca de 1,49% de todas as neoplasias, sendo sua maior prevalência entre 74 a 85 anos de idade, majoritariamente no sexo masculino. A média de sobrevida mundial varia entre 13 a 19 meses, consistindo uma questão de saúde pública de grande valia em todo o território nacional. Objetivos: Analisar o perfil clínico e epidemiológico de pacientes diagnosticados com tumor cerebral primário de alto grau submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos na cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico transversal, realizado na cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes, a partir da análise de prontuários médicos de pacientes com quadros de glioma de alto grau submetidos a abordagem neurocirúrgica no Hospital Escola Álvaro Alvim (HEAA), no período de janeiro de 2017 e abril de 2023, usando como definição a confirmação do diagnóstico histopatológico de glioma de alto grau. Os critérios de inclusão foram: Idade superior a 18 anos, submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico de ressecção total ou biopsia das lesões cerebrais, operados nesse serviço. Foram excluídos prontuários de pacientes com metástases cerebrais e lesões benignas. Resultados: Na nossa série foram avaliados 75 prontuários de pacientes que foram submetidos à cirurgia cerebral, sendo 15 pacientes diagnosticados com glioma de alto grau, havendo um predomínio de 53,3% do sexo masculino, enquanto houve 46,7% de incidência do sexo feminino e, estes apresentaram sobrevida média de 9 meses e idade média de 66 anos no momento da abordagem cirúrgica. Discussão: A literatura descreve um predomínio do sexo masculino, assim como os dados obtidos no presente estudo. Este identificou uma idade média do diagnostico em torno de 66 anos, semelhante a encontrada nos dados bibliográficos, que descrevem idade de 64 anos. A sobrevida observada foi em torno de 9 meses, sendo abaixo da média mundial, na qual associamos ao diagnostico tardio com poucas possibilidades de tratamento complementar e a menor sobrevida, posto isto, apenas 3 pacientes foram submetidos ao tratamento complementar (1 paciente realizou quimioterapia e radioterapia, 1 somente a radioterapia e 1 somente a quimioterapia). Conclusão: Os dados encontrados corroboram em sua maioria com os dados obtidos a partir da análise bibliográfica. A redução da sobrevida encontrada nesta análise sugere a associação com diagnóstico tardio, frisando a necessidade de políticas públicas em saúde efetivas, visando o diagnóstico precoce e, consequentemente, qualidade de vida aos pacientes acometidos por essas lesões.

O diabetes mellitus (DM) é uma síndrome metabólica multifatorial favorecendo a formação de adipocinas e produção de espécies reativas de oxigênio, os quais podem causar alterações genéticas nas células, aumentando o risco de câncer. Este estudo investiga o DM como fator de risco prévio em pacientes com diagnóstico de câncer. O grupo caso incluiu 26 pacientes com diagnóstico entre 2022 e 2023 para câncer de mama, endométrio, próstata, estômago, colorretal, fígado, vias biliares, pâncreas, rim e bexiga. O grupo controle incluiu 26 pacientes pareados em sexo e idade (± 3 anos) ao grupo caso, sendo excluídos pacientes com histórico prévio de câncer. Ambos os grupos excluem menores de 18 anos; gestantes; pacientes com diagnóstico de hipotireoidismo; colagenoses; doenças autoimunes; síndrome plurimetabólica e diabetes insipidus. A coleta de dados aconteceu mediante entrevistas e análise de prontuários; identificando o perfil dos pacientes (idade, sexo, raça, altura, peso, circunferência abdominal); a história social (etilismo, tabagismo, sedentarismo) e a história familiar para DM e câncer. Ainda coletadas informações sobre o diagnóstico do DM (data e tipo de tratamento) e Câncer (data, tipo histológico, imunohistoquímica, estadiamento). Preserva-se a confidencialidade dos pacientes em todas as etapas deste estudo. Aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética pelo parecer nº 5.967.254. Verificou-se entre os grupos caso e controle, respectivamente: média de idade: 60 (±13) anos / 57 (±12) anos; Raça: 13 (50%) / 6 (23,08%) branca; 7 (26,92%) / 11 (42,31%) parda; 6 (23,08%) / 9 (34,62%) preta. Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC): 26,49 (± 6,61) / 29,32 (±6,29). Obteve-se 7 (26,92%) casos e 5 (19,23%) controles com diagnóstico de DM. Houve maior razão de chances para DM no grupo caso, OR = 1.55 (IC 95%: 0,42 - 5,7) podendo indicar algum risco relativo, embora sem associação estatisticamente significativa (p = 0.51). Entre os 7 diabéticos do grupo caso, 6 apresentavam câncer de mama, metade dos participantes com esse câncer, que foi também o mais representado no grupo caso. 12/26 (46,15%). Essa análise preliminar estratificada aponta associação de risco melhor estabelecida entre o câncer de mama e o DM, OR = 3 (IC 95%: 0,53 - 16,9), quando comparado ao grupo controle. No entanto, esta diferença pode ainda ser em função da sub-representação dos demais tipos de câncer na atual amostra. Este estudo tem o potencial de contribuir na compreensão da correlação entre o DM e o Câncer. Podendo indicar melhores estratégias de prevenção, rastreio, diagnóstico e tratamento mais precoce tanto do DM, quanto do Câncer.

Introdução: As doenças cardiovasculares são a principal causa de morte de pessoas que envelhecem com lesão medular, uma das medidas necessárias para a prevenção e redução dessas patologias está no bom condicionamento físico, promovido por atividades físicas regulares. Objetivos: Realizar um programa de reabilitação física com finalidade de reduzir o score do risco cardiovascular em indivíduos com lesão medular e paraplegia em Campos dos Goytacazes. Métodos: Essa é uma pesquisa experimental do tipo ensaio clínico randomizado aberto controlado de dois braços, com início no período de novembro de 2022, tendo como público alvo pacientes com paraplegia e lesão medular. O histórico médico dos participantes está sendo coletado de seus prontuários no Hospital Escola Álvaro Alvim (HEAA). Em seguida, esses indivíduos passarão por uma avaliação cardiológica para ratificar se estão aptos a participar desse ensaio clínico, onde serão solicitados exames como bioquímica laboratorial e eletrocardiograma. A intervenção será pautada no protocolo de Farrow, Maher e Thompson (2021) para ensaios clínicos em pacientes com paraplegia. Após as 6 semanas de intervenção, os participantes do grupo intervenção passarão pela última consulta cardiológica, a fim de compará-los com o grupo controle. Projeto aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa em Seres Humanos, n°: 5.792.311. Resultados: Foi iniciada a seleção dos participantes pelo sistema de prontuários online do HEAA, através de 231 números de atendimentos, 9 participantes foram identificados com CID 10 G82.2 de paraplegia não especificada, no entanto somente 2 prontuários estavam com os dados completos, entre esses, 1 cumpriu o requisito. A etapa de seleção está em andamento, no momento aguarda-se a liberação do HEAA do acesso aos prontuários físicos para o recrutamento dos demais participantes. Discussão: Dando seguimento ao recrutamento e a intervenção, almeja-se a melhora no condicionamento físico, frequência respiratória e cardíaca e taxas metabólicas, além de reduzir o risco de complicações cardiovasculares. Conclusão: Nesse seguimento, espera-se redução do score de risco cardiovascular, de forma a ratificar que a atividade física disciplinada por profissionais de saúde devidamente capacitados é uma intervenção contra as doenças cardiovasculares em pessoas com paraplegia.

O projeto de extensão “avaliação do comportamento adaptativo na infância” optou por usar a escala de Vineland Adaptative Behavior Scales (Escalas Vineland de Comportamento Adaptativo), o qual é um instrumento que avalia o comportamento adaptativo, ou seja, identifica se a criança tem habilidades que permitem que se adapte em diversos ambientes. Essa avaliação serve como apoio para os profissionais na elaboração de planos e intervenções que ajudam na autonomia e desenvolvimento da criança. Nesse sentido, a escala de Vineland é dividida em 5 grandes áreas: comunicação, habilidades diárias, socialização, comportamento desajustado e habilidades motoras. Então, o ideal é que seja aplicado por profissionais da psicologia, psiquiatria, terapia ocupacional e neuropsicologia. Pois, o objetivo é avaliar o comportamento adaptativo na infância através do Vineland para ajudar nas intervenções das crianças com algum déficit intelectual e transtornos do desenvolvimento, melhorando sua qualidade de vida e detectando suas áreas de maior fragilidade. A aplicação do Vineland no Centro de Saúde foi de extrema relevância para os extensionistas e a comunidade. Pois a partir do treinamento para os alunos do projeto sobre a aplicabilidade do teste, as consultas foram marcadas de forma individual. Assim, o teste foi realizado da melhor forma possível, pois foi analisado principalmente pela perspectiva do cuidador que respondia as perguntas em relação ao cotidiano da criança. Dessa forma, era identificado o score para saber se o déficit era leve, moderado ou grave, e então dar um direcionamento para os familiares sobre os próximos passos. Além disso, esta atenção pode ser compreendida como uma ajuda favorável aos pacientes e suas famílias, pois com um resultado mais preciso de cada caso, o tratamento foi ajustado especificamente. De outubro de 2022 até junho de 2023, foram avaliadas 53 meninas e 98 meninos. Além desta 1º consulta, os pacientes recebiam consultas mais detalhadas com o psiquiatra e o psicólogo para esclarecer diagnósticos, ver com mais detalhes as áreas em maior déficit e ter as melhores intervenções para um melhor desenvolvimento. Este trabalho, busca destacar a relevância da aplicação do teste de Vineland para definir critérios que auxiliarão no diagnóstico de forma precoce. Dessa forma, possibilita aos cuidadores principais uma ampla visão da realidade das crianças e do que eles podem fazer para auxiliá-los no seu desenvolvimento. Além disso, possibilita aos profissionais de saúde identificar áreas de incapacidade nos pacientes, elaborar planos de promoção de saúde e inseri-los em atividades e terapias necessárias para o desenvolvimento das áreas afetadas, aumentando a autonomia das crianças.
