Published: June 2024

This paper describes a methodology for modeling, system identification, and designing a controller of a two degrees-of-freedom manipulator made from piezoelectric material. A piezoelectric bimorph is composed of two piezoelectric ceramic plates bonded to a brass plate which is sandwiched between the piezoelectric plates. One piezoelectric bimorph is attached perpendicularly to the other bimorph to form the manipulator. The manipulator is modeled using the finite element method. A reduced order model of the manipulator is obtained through modal analysis. The reduced order model is used to design closed-loop feedback controllers based on the exact feedback linearization (1) to regulate a tip of the manipulator to a set point or (2) to make the tip to track a desired signal. The closed-loop control manipulator can accomplish the tasks with satisfied results.

Authors: Orosz László , Sárvári Károly Péter , Dernovics Áron , Rosztóczy András , Megyeri Klára
Published: June 2024

The hepatitis E virus (HEV), a member of the Hepeviridae family, is a small, non-enveloped icosahedral virus divided into eight distinct genotypes (HEV-1 to HEV-8). Only genotypes 1 to 4 are known to cause diseases in humans. Genotypes 1 and 2 commonly spread via fecal-oral transmission, often through the consumption of contaminated water. Genotypes 3 and 4 are known to infect pigs, deer, and wild boars, often transferring to humans through inadequately cooked meat. Acute hepatitis caused by HEV in healthy individuals is mostly asymptomatic or associated with minor symptoms, such as jaundice. However, in immunosuppressed individuals, the disease can progress to chronic hepatitis and even escalate to cirrhosis. For pregnant women, an HEV infection can cause fulminant liver failure, with a potential mortality rate of 25%. Mortality rates also rise amongst cirrhotic patients when they contract an acute HEV infection, which can even trigger acute-on-chronic liver failure if layered onto pre-existing chronic liver disease. As the prevalence of HEV infection continues to rise worldwide, highlighting the particular risks associated with severe HEV infection is of major medical interest. This text offers a brief summary of the characteristics of hepatitis developed by patient groups at an elevated risk of severe HEV infection.

Published: June 2024

BACKGROUND

Birth-dose (Hep-BD) followed by three additional doses (Hep-B3) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine are key to eliminating HBV by 2030. Unfortunately, Hep-BD and Hep-B3 coverage in our country is poor.

AIM

To studied the parent’s knowledge and awareness about HBV infection, its prevention, consequences and vaccination.

METHODS

Parents of 6 months to 8 years old children were interviewed to assess their knowledge & awareness about hepatitis B, its transmission, prevention, illness caused by this, and vaccination. Eighteen close-ended questions were administered, and responses were recorded as ‘yes’, ‘no’, or ‘not sure’. HBV knowledge score was calculated based on the sum of correct answers. Each correct response scored one point and incorrect, missing or ‘not sure’ responses received no points. Categorical data are presented as number (%) and numerical data are expressed as median. Data were compared using Chi2 tests and level of significance was kept as P < 0.05.

RESULTS

Parents (58.3% mothers) of 384 children (89.9% age < 5 years; 82% age-appropriately vaccinated) were included. Three hundred and twenty-two (83.9%) children were Hep-B3 vaccinated. 94.3%, 87.5%, and 29.2% parents knew about polio, tetanus, and hepatitis B vaccine. Overall, 41.2%, 15.8%, and 23% parents knew about hepatitis B transmission, consequences of infection, and prevention respectively. Only 7.6% parents knew about three-dose schedule of hepatitis B vaccination. Only 23% parents believed that vaccine could prevent HBV, 15.7% knew that HBV affects liver. Parents of Hep-B3 vaccinated children were significantly more aware about HBV than the parents of unvaccinated children (P < 0.05 for 17/18 questions).

CONCLUSION

The knowledge and awareness among the parents about hepatitis B is poor. The Increasing knowledge/awareness about HBV among parents may improve Hep-B3 vaccination coverage.

Published: June 2024

An overly exuberant immune response, characterized by a cytokine storm and uncontrolled inflammation, has been identified as a significant driver of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases. Consequently, deciphering the intricacies of immune dysregulation in COVID-19 is imperative to identify specific targets for intervention and modulation. With these delicate dynamics in mind, immunomodulatory therapies have emerged as a promising avenue for mitigating the challenges posed by COVID-19. Precision in manipulating immune pathways presents an opportunity to alter the host response, optimizing antiviral defenses while curbing deleterious inflammation. This review article comprehensively analyzes immunomodulatory interventions in managing COVID-19. We explore diverse approaches to mitigating the hyperactive immune response and its impact, from corticosteroids and non-steroidal drugs to targeted biologics, including anti-viral drugs, cytokine inhibitors, JAK inhibitors, convalescent plasma, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, cell-based therapies (i.e., CAR T, etc. ). By summarizing the current evidence, we aim to provide a clear roadmap for clinicians and researchers navigating the complex landscape of immunomodulation in COVID-19 treatment.

BACKGROUND

Kidney transplant recipients (KTR) are at risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease and mortality after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. We predicted that hospitalization for COVID-19 and subsequent admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) would yield worse outcomes in KTRs.

AIM

To investigate outcomes among KTRs hospitalized at our high-volume transplant center either on the general hospital floor or the ICU.

METHODS

We retrospectively describe all adult KTRs who were hospitalized at our center with their first SARS-CoV-2 infection between 04/2020 and 04/2022 and had at least 12 months follow-up (unless they experienced graft failure or death). The cohort was stratified by ICU admission. Outcomes of interest included risk factors for ICU admission and mortality, length of stay (LOS), respiratory symptoms at admission, all-cause graft failure at the last follow-up, and death related to COVID-19.

RESULTS

96 KTRs were hospitalized for SARS-COV-2 infection. 21 (22%) required ICU admission. The ICU group had longer hospital LOS (21.8 vs 8.6 days, P < 0.001) and were more likely to experience graft failure (81% vs 31%, P < 0.001). Of those admitted to the ICU, 76% had death at last-follow up, and 71% had death related to COVID-19. Risk factors for ICU admission included male sex (aHR: 3.11, 95%CI: 1.04-9.34; P = 0.04). Risk factors for all-cause mortality and COVID-19-related mortality included ICU admission and advanced age at SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis. Mortality was highest within a month of COVID-19 diagnosis, with the ICU group having increased risk of all-cause (aHR: 11.2, 95%CI: 5.11-24.5; P < 0.001) and COVID-19-related mortality (aHR: 27.2, 95%CI: 8.69-84.9; P < 0.001).

CONCLUSION

ICU admission conferred an increased risk of mortality, graft failure, and longer LOS. One-fifth of those hospitalized died of COVID-19, reflecting the impact of COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality among KTRs.
Claim for Partition of Site for Condominium Buildings: Focused on the Supreme Court Ruling on September 14, 2023, Case No. 2022Da271753
Authors:   Korean Association of Aggregate Building Law, Lee Jong-Duk
Published: June 2024

The Site for condominium buildings was shared between those who had a section for exclusive possession in the building and those who did not, and the latter plaintiffs filed a claim for for Partition of the Site and a return of unjust enrichment. The court of first instance disallowed the claim for division by the co-owner in accordance with Article 8 of the ACT ON OWNERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT OF CONDOMINIUM BUILDINGS and only accepted the claim for return of unjust enrichment. However, the court of second instance and the Supreme Court recognized not only the claim for return of unjust enrichment but also the division method by total value compensation. This court decision can be judged positively in that the basis for the existence of the complex and living relationships can be maintained, and the dispute has finally been resolved.
With this decision of the court, the prohibition of claim for partition by co-owner of site pursuant to the above provisions can no longer play a role. This is because the court is not bound by the division method of Article Jointly Owned, and, contrary to academic theory, considers division by total value compensation as a division in kind and is free from the restrictions of Article 269, Paragraph 2 of the Civil Act. In this case, the sectional owners refused to acquire ownership of the Site in question, but the court decided to divide by total value compensation, thereby acquiring the plaintiffs' shares and paying a considerable price for the shares. Since it is unfair to treat the division method by total value compensation as simply a division in kind. In order for the court to decide on this method, it must be subject to restrictions equivalent to splitting the price by official auction in accordance with the purpose of Article 269, Paragraph 2 of the Civil Act.
In a case such as this, rather than resolving it as a problem of partition of article jointly owned, it would be desirable to resolve this issue legislatively so that people like the plaintiff can request that the sectional owners purchase their shares.
Simultaneous Three-Dimensional Velocity And Temperature Measurement In Microfluidics Using An LED And A Double-frame Camera
Authors: Deng Z. , König J. , Cierpka C.
Published: June 2024

With astigmatism particle tracking velocimetry combined with luminescence lifetime imaging, the temperature and all velocity components of spherical trace particles in a volume of fluid can be simultaneously measured with one optical access. Generally, a pulsed laser is required for this measurement technique. However, it may cause additional heating of a small volume of stagnant fluid, as often present in microfluidics. Here we show that this problem can be avoided by replacing the pulsed laser with an LED. To compensate for the lower power provided by the LED, the illumination time and the exposure time for the image acquisition were vastly extended. In addition, we replaced the typically used high-speed camera with an ordinary double-frame camera. With these modifications, the temperature of the fluid is unaffected, while low uncertainties on all the measured quantities can be achieved. Temperature can be measured with an uncertainty of ∼1°C with a varying location. With a varying temperature covering the range of 20-50°C, measurement uncertainties were found to be lower than 0.2 μm for x- and y-coordinates and lower than 1.1 μm for the z-coordinates for the current setup. The system was applied to measure the location and temperature of particles trapped in an acoustic tweezer setup. No heating on the fluid can be observed using the new technique. Therefore, the heating of the particles could be solely related to the acoustic field. The measurement technique may serve as a powerful tool to investigate the thermodynamic and fluid dynamic phenomena in microfluidic environments. The lower cost on the hardware and the comparable or even lower measurement uncertainties on the measured quantities are further advantages.
3D Flow Reconstruction Using Conic Sections And Learning-Based Image Segmentation
Authors: Tsalicoglou C. , Rösgen T.
Published: June 2024

Extending 3D Particle Streak Velocimetry (3D-PSV) with conic section matching constraints for volumetric flow reconstruction allows the measurement of flows in large volumes using lower frame rates than typically required for 3D-PTV, with fewer reconstruction ambiguities. Streak segmentation is tackled using a state-of-the-art instance segmentation Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), highlighting the potential of learning-based methods to solve vision-based tasks in experimental fluid dynamics. The curved streaks are processed with an optimization-based conic section reconstruction approach, which results in fewer reconstruction ambiguities compared to linear streaks or individual endpoint models and enables the direct and accurate reconstruction of the curved pathlines.
Non-Invasive Laser-Cross Calibration For Volumetric Flow Measurements In Closed Channels
Authors: Hardege R. , Rockstroh T. , Burkert J. , Schwarze R. , Bauer K.
Published: June 2024

The calibration of a multi-camera system is a crucial step of a 3D particle tracking velocimetry (3D-PTV) measurement and other optical velocimetry techniques, which are based on multi-camera setups. Conventional calibration methods for multi-camera systems are based on recording hardware targets in the cameras’ fields of view. In measurement volumes that are difficult to access, the insertion of such hardware targets is associated with an increased technical or mechanical effort or is eventually not possible. This work presents a calibration method without the use of a hardware target. Instead, crossing laser beams are introduced into the volume, which create unique calibration points due to their beam paths. The underlying algorithm for detecting the laser beams and the optimization of the calibration is explained. The influence of the beam diameter and positioning errors on the calibration quality are examined by using synthetic data, which is created in Blender (Free and Open 3D Creation Software under GNU GPL). The new laser cross calibration is compared to the calibration with a two-plane target by synthetic data and experimental data from a 3D-PTV measurement in a difficult-to-access volume in a transparent manifold. For the comparison, the synthetic data and the therefore known absolute positions of the lasercross allow to calculate the reconstruction error in addition to the widely used reprojection error. The ransac algorithm is used for the detection of the beam paths from the raw images. The ransac algorithm is well suited for this application, as it is stable against parasitic reflections while its subpixel accuracy is sufficient for this application with small beam diameters. The non-invasive calibration techniques have different advantages over the usage of a hardware target. Due to the in-situ calibration it is not necessary to move the camera setup, which can otherwise lead to errors in the alignment of the cameras to each other. The installing and deinstalling process of the calibration plate is not needed, which reduces the effort for the construction and further reduces errors. Hardware-targets need to be homogenously illuminated, which is not necessary with "self-illuminating" calibration targets like the laser cross. When having opposing cameras, hardware-targets need to be two-faced with front- and back-side being perfectly parallel and the calibration points need to be in defined geometric relation. Deviations can introduce systematic errors. With a non-invasive method like the laser cross there is no obstruction by the calibration plate itself.
Non-Intrusive Single Camera Diagnostic For Measurement Of Interfacial Topography In Three-Dimensional Space And Time
Authors: Florou E. I. , Fort C. , Bardet P. M.
Published: June 2024

Liquid-gas interfaces are complex boundaries that can be of great interest in various fields, from fundamental science to industrial applications. They usually span across multiple spatio-temporal scales and, they can be a key parameter in multiple complex physical processes such as bubble entrainment and interfacial transfer. These make their simulation and measurement challenging but at the same time essential. Although computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models had become very powerful through the years, they still include some degree of empiricism. Experimental high spatio-temporal data for the interfacial topography could not only provide more insights and evidence for the physical process at play but also valuable validation datasets for the CFD models. Non-intrusive interfacial reconstruction, especially in the threedimensional (3D) space is a challenging task and it usually forces to complex experimental configurations. Here, we present a new, non-intrusive, refraction-based diagnostic for reconstruction of liquid-gas interfaces in 3D with one single camera and laser plane. Concisely, a vertical, two-dimensional (2D), laser-induced fluorescent grid is written directly in the liquid phase and captured from the gas phase through a deformed liquid interface. A robust ray tracing algorithm relates the optical deformation of the grid to the interfacial topography. The orientation of the grid provides boundary conditions for the surface reconstruction and minimizes restrictions of existing schemes. These, enable not only to simplify the experimental setup but also to extend the applicability of the refraction-based techniques. The grid generation scheme employed here is Talbot-effect structured illumination (TESI); a flexible method to create a wide range of very fine laser patterns. This allows to easily adapt the technique in a broad range of scales and applications, as well as to combine it with velocimetry. Profilometry and velocimetry can share the same grid and therefore they can be deployed simultaneously enabling the measurement of quantities such as the interfacial shear stress. Finally, the algorithm can treat the data both as time independent and time resolved. Both approaches are elaborated below and preliminary data from a droplet impact are presented and discussed.

Published: June 2024

The effect of different service quality factors on online shopping, specifically green purchase intention in China is examined in this work. By employing partial least squares structured equation modelling (PLS-SEM), the study assessed the data obtained from 159 respondents who filled out valid semi-structured questionnaires from the e-commerce company’s employees. Based on the TAM model, this study tested the consumer green purchase intentions where the factors involved were supply chain management, inventory management, supplier relationships, quality control, and return policies. All these aspects, the study established, increase customer satisfaction and the likelihood of buying the product. Customer satisfaction is a mediator that balances the association between e-commerce platform service quality and consumer buying behaviour. Similarly, the study findings revealed that supply chain management practices, inventory management, relationships with suppliers, quality management and return policies regarding green products were significant factors that affected green purchase intention. The study emphasizes the need to sustain high standards of service delivery to increase employees’ customers’ satisfaction and consumption cultures. Behavioural e-commerce and consumer research are both advanced by this study, and findings aimed at enhancing e-commerce service quality and encouraging environmentally friendly purchasing. However, the findings of the study cannot be generalized widely due to the regional context and the small sample size of the study, so it is imperative to conduct more extensive Studies that can support these findings.

Authors: Boulègue Mathieu , Bronk Justin , Hird Karolina , Kerr Jaclyn , Lee Rob , Petersen Michael
Published: June 2024

Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, now into its third year, has confounded many assumptions – both in Moscow and in the West – about the effectiveness of Russian military capabilities, organization and tactics. Russian forces have suffered heavy losses at times, prompting the military leadership to embark on a programme of regeneration and modernization. Moscow seeks to reform its force structure, recruit more troops, and replace or improve weapons and equipment, both to make up for losses incurred in combat and to address shortcomings in capabilities that the war has exposed. This paper assesses the challenges Russia faces in upgrading each of the main armed services, and in reforming or developing its command structures, ‘asymmetric’ enablers and military-industrial complex accordingly. Understanding Russian priorities and progress on military regeneration is vital if Western policymakers are to determine in which domains and sectors Russia will continue to be a credible military threat to Ukraine and other countries.

Chinese Online Celebrities’ Discursive Strategies of Promoting Domestic Products: Online Posters as Multimodal Ensembles
Authors: Wang Yusa
Published: June 2024

Although Chinese online celebrities have received much scholarly attention, scant studies pay attention to the crucial role they play in promoting the emerging “buy national” in China. This study investigates the multimodal discourse conveyed in a collection of advertising posters designed by online celebrities to promote Chinese domestic products (known as guohuo in China). Through a social semiotic lens, it provides a multimodal analysis of how online posters employ visual imaginary and textual messages for commercial purposes within the rising consumer nationalistic context. Drawing upon a dataset of 20 online posters, the analysis reveals a set of semiotic resources including color, image, typography, layout and non-linguistic gesture and gaze. These modes are employed collectively to orchestrate the national script and produce the authoritative representatives that convert the online posters into a kind of national multimodal ensemble. The study highlights the extensive spread of online posters and provides new insights for analyzing the visibility of online celebrities in the growing wave of “buy national” in China.

Phytochemical screening, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties of Helianthus annuus and Hyophila involuta: A comparative account
Authors: SHARMA Supriya K. , ALAM Afroz
Published: June 2024

Angiosperms and bryophytes, though distantly related plant groups, have many similar ecological and economic implications, including medicinal value. Therefore, this study aimed to analyse the phenolic and flavonoids composition and antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Helianthus annuus L. (Angiosperms-Asteraceae) and another plant, a moss (Bryophyta), Hyophila involuta (Hook.) Jaeg., aerial parts (leaves), prepared in four different extracts (methanol, chloroform, distilled water, and petroleum ether). Phytochemical screening was conducted using standard methods of precipitation and colouration reactions. The Folin-Ciocalteu method was employed to determine the total phenol content, while the Aluminium Chloride Colorimetric method was used for flavonoid content determination. The antioxidant activity was measured through two methods: DPPH and NOSA scavenging activity. The phytochemical screening detected the presence and absence of fixed oils and fats, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, tannins, polyphenols, carbohydrates, and glycosides in both plants. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of both plants' methanolic extracts was examined against bacterial and fungal pathogens, i.e., Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis and fungal strains, i.e., Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger. The results were compared to a regular antibiotic disc and negative control that served as a methanol solvent. The methanolic extract of H. annuus has higher total phenol and flavonoid content, as well as antioxidant and antimicrobial activity, than H. involuta. Based on these data, it can be concluded that, while H. annuus is more effective than H. involuta, both distantly related plant species have similar phytochemical profiles and should be included equally in future herbal compositions.

Published: June 2024

A complete survey is presented on elemental composition, selected amino acids and antioxidant capacity in edible halophytes from Spain. We include materials from the Iberian Peninsula: littoral-coastal Tinto River basin areas (SW Spain: Huelva province) and mainland territories (NW and central Spain: Zaragoza). The aim of this contribution is to characterize the relation between nutritional content compounds and their key role in antioxidant capacity in stress environments. Using analytical techniques such as ICP-MS, DPPH, FRAP and TBARS our results revealed the importance of different antioxidant responses in edible halophytes and their relations between elemental inorganic nutrients and stronger accumulation of some bioactive compounds like phenolic acids, flavonoids and amino acids. These molecules may be the key to the survival of these species in extreme saline environments located in Spain.

Devido às consequências da síndrome na qualidade vida, e desempenho dos profissionais da área de saúde, este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a prevalência da Síndrome de Burnout em profissionais atuantes na área de saúde. O estudo caracterizou-se por ser uma pesquisa quantitativa, descritiva e exploratória, de uma população amostral composta por profissionais da área da saúde residentes no Brasil. Foi utilizado um instrumento de coleta de dados de autopreenchimento, a Escala preliminar de Identificação da Síndrome de Burnout, que foi disponibilizado por plataforma on line. Após o período de aplicação dos questionários, os dados obtidos foram tabulados e analisados por meio de estatística descritiva simples. Participaram da pesquisa 172 profissionais da saúde e destacou-se mulheres com faixa etária de 18 a 25 anos, da raça branca e com renda não declarada. Os profissionais do sexo feminino foram mais afetados pela síndrome de Bournot, pois a maioria relatou sentir-se exaustas, ansiosas e pouco valorizadas pelo trabalho que realizam diariamente. Dentre os participantes, 18,6% não possuíam indício da Burnout. Dos 48,8% que possuem possibilidade de desenvolver Burnout, 45% possuíam renda de até 5 salários-mínimos e 70% idade acima de 35 anos. Esta Pesquisa permitiu concluir que profissionais do sexo feminino são mais afetadas pela síndrome de Bournot, e profissionais da saúde acima de 35 anos apresentaram alta incidência de risco de desenvolvimento da síndrome. Vale ressaltar que é extremamente importante criar um ambiente favorável à construção de relações positivas de trabalho, baseadas na confiança e no respeito mútuos, a fim de diminuir as síndromes psicológicas prejudiciais entre os profissionais da saúde.

Published: June 2024

Este artigo apresenta um relato de experiência pedagogica desenvolvida em uma escola pública no municipio de Livramento de Nossa Senhora-BA, em uma turma de 9° ano do Ensino Fundamental, durante as aula de Educação Física no periodo de uma unidade letiva (2 meses e meio, aproximadamente). Esta experiência surgiu a partir de um levantamento de conteúdos durante as aulas de Educação Física, na qual, os estudantes citaram a musculação como um conteúdo a ser desenvolvido nas mesmas, no entento até aquele momento não teria sido comtemplada durante o desenvolvimento do componente curricular, mesmo que esta tematica tenha relavancia na vida dos mesmos, pois encontram-se em uma fase de mudanças corporais e de uma maior preocupação estetética com os seus corpos. Desta forma, o conteúdo foi tematizado a partir da Perspectiva Cultural da Educação Física (Nunes; Neira, 2008, 2009, 2010), alcançando boas discussões, debates e ultrapassando a visão equivocada a respeito desta prática corporal, além de possibilitar uma melhor percepção corporal dos estudantes envolvidos (ultrapassando o biológico). Para além da aprendizagem dos estudantes, percebeu-se um “novo” entendimento dos objetivos da Educação Física na escola, a partir de relatos dos mesmos, refletindo na participação e envolvimento durante as aulas.

Published: June 2024

O presente artigo discorre sobre o recurso de tecnologia assistiva audiodescrição, recurso, pensado para as pessoas com deficiência visual, mas, existem outros públicos que se beneficiam desta ferramenta. Conhecê-la e utilizá-la, como estratégia metodológica, tornando a prática pedagógica mais abrangente, acolhedora e que atenda a diversidade da sala de aula, precisa se tornar uma realidade, se efetivar, de forma a não apenas permanecer com uma meta, para um futuro que nunca se torna presente. Logo, visa-se contribuir para a divulgação deste recurso indispensável para a inclusão educacional e/ou social.  Apresentar-se-á concepções desta ferramenta, e um breve resumo histórico. As discussões, fundamentada em autores como Motta e Filho (2010), Enap (2020), Guedes e Barbosa (2020), Huertas (2022), entre outros, e também nas legislações brasileiras que asseguram o direito aos saberes, aos espaços e a informação, garantidos pela acessibilidade, a todos os seus cidadãos,   evidenciaram que a audiodescrição é uma ferramenta essencial para a concretização das políticas de inclusão, pois, permite eliminar as barreiras comunicacionais e finda-se propondo pesquisas na área e investimentos na profissionalização de audiodescritores e de docentes.

Este estudo busca revisar e analisar as estratégias de prevenção e manejo de complicações cardiovasculares em pacientes com síndrome metabólica (SM), com o intuito de fornecer uma visão abrangente sobre as abordagens terapêuticas disponíveis. Uma revisão integrativa da literatura foi realizada utilizando bases de dados eletrônicas, incluindo PubMed, Scopus e Google Scholar. Os termos de pesquisa utilizados incluíram "síndrome metabólica", "doença cardiovascular", "prevenção" e "tratamento". Foram incluídos estudos publicados nos últimos 10 anos em inglês ou português. A análise qualitativa dos estudos selecionados permitiu identificar e sintetizar as estratégias de prevenção e manejo de complicações cardiovasculares em pacientes com SM. As estratégias de prevenção e manejo de complicações cardiovasculares em pacientes com SM incluem intervenções lifestyle, como mudanças na dieta e aumento da atividade física, além do uso de medicamentos para controlar fatores de risco cardiovasculares, como hipertensão arterial, dislipidemia e diabetes mellitus. Abordagens multidisciplinares, que envolvem uma equipe de profissionais de saúde, são essenciais para o manejo eficaz da SM e suas complicações cardiovasculares. A educação do paciente desempenha um papel fundamental na promoção de hábitos saudáveis e na adesão ao tratamento. A identificação precoce e o tratamento adequado da SM são cruciais para reduzir o risco de eventos cardiovasculares e melhorar a qualidade de vida desses pacientes.
Desafios de gênero na magistratura Sul-Mato-Grossense: 45 anos de representação feminina na segunda instância
Authors: Santana Neto Manoel Gustavo Silva , Paes Ademilson Batista
Published: June 2024

O presente artigo investiga os desafios enfrentados pelas mulheres na magistratura estadual ao longo de quase 45 anos desde a criação do estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Criado pela Lei Complementar nº 31 de 11 de outubro de 1977, que separou o estado de Mato Grosso, juntamente com a fundação da nova unidade da federação, instituiu-se também os Poderes Legislativo, Executivo e Judiciário do novo estado. Apesar da progressiva evolução nas discussões sobre igualdade de gênero e na implementação de políticas inclusivas no cenário jurídico nacional, a representação feminina na Segunda Instância do Tribunal de Justiça de Mato Grosso do Sul (TJMS) reflete uma trajetória de lenta mudança. Desde a instalação do TJMS, apenas sete mulheres foram nomeadas desembargadoras, com a primeira nomeação ocorrendo somente em 1990. O estudo investiga as barreiras estruturais e culturais que persistem, limitando a participação feminina em posições de alta liderança judicial no estado. Através de uma análise histórica e contextual, busca-se entender os impactos dessas limitações na eficácia e na equidade da justiça sul-mato-grossense, bem como promover o debate acerca das medidas necessárias para fomentar uma maior inclusão de mulheres com atuação no segundo grau de jurisdição.

A espécie tropical Anacardium occidentale L., conhecida por sua significativa importância socioeconômica devido à utilização do hipocarpo, destaca-se pela presença de compostos bioativos. No entanto, sua perecibilidade e menor valor econômico representam desafios significativos no que diz respeito ao seu processamento e comercialização. Diante desse cenário, torna-se imperativo buscar alternativas sustentáveis para aproveitar integralmente esse pseudofruto. Essa abordagem não apenas visa reduzir o desperdício, mas também impulsionar toda a indústria relacionada a esse produto. Dessa forma, objetivou-se realizar uma revisão sistemática sobre a fitoquímica e potencial bioativo do hipocarpo de A. occidentale. A metodologia foi conduzida seguindo as diretrizes do Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). Os artigos foram obtidos através de pesquisas nas bases de dados Web of Science e PubMed. Não foram utilizados intervalos temporais. A busca resultou em um total de 253 publicações, dos quais 25 atenderam aos critérios de seleção. O hipocarpo de A. occidentale é rico em compostos fenólicos, ácido ascórbico e carotenóides e apresenta propriedades antioxidantes, anti-inflamatórias, cicatrizantes, anti-hipercolesterol, antimutagênica, prebiótica e antibacteriana. Há potencial para implementação do hipocarpo em suplementos e fitoterápicos, mas são necessários estudos adicionais para compreender melhor seus efeitos biológicos, mecanismos de ação e implicações na saúde humana.

Published: June 2024

Após a perda do elemento dental devido a diversos fatores, as alterações dimensionais fisiológicas consequências do reparo tecidual, deixam sequelas volumétricas tanto em tecido duro como em tecido mole que demandam intervenções regenerativas onerosas, demoradas e complexas nas reabilitações futuras com implantes dentários. Essa problemática é ainda maior quando estas perdas dentárias ocorrem em setor estético da maxila. A perda de um elemento neste setor, impacta diretamente na autoestima e convívio social e quando ele busca uma solução profissional para solucionar este problema, sua expectativa por resultados naturais, satisfatórios e rápidos atualmente é muito grande. O implante imediato com provisionalização imediata atualmente é considerado uma alternativa para contornar estas perdas dimensionais. A técnica cirúrgica quando executada com rigor, traz benefícios como diminuição do tempo de tratamento além de menor morbidade. Diante deste cenário o objetivo deste trabalho é revisar a literatura através de um levantamento bibliográfico nas plataformas de banco dados PubMed, Lilacs e Google Acadêmico para avaliarmos as etapas para o sucesso da provisionalização imediata em implantes imediatos como alternativa para minimizar o colapso pós exodontia em setor estético.
