Note on the Banach problem 1 of condensations of Banach spaces onto compacta
Authors: Osipov Alexander
Published: August 2023

It is consistent with any possible value of the continuum c that every
infinite-dimensional Banach space of density ? c condenses onto the Hilbert
cube. Let ? < c be a cardinal of uncountable cofinality. It is consistent
that the continuum be arbitrary large, no Banach space X of density ?, ? < ?
< c, condenses onto a compact metric space, but any Banach space of density
? admits a condensation onto a compact metric space. In particular, for ? =
?1, it is consistent that c is arbitrarily large, no Banach space of density
?, ?1 < ? < c, condenses onto a compact metric space. These results imply a
complete answer to the Problem 1 in the Scottish Book for Banach spaces:
When does a Banach space X admit a bijective continuous mapping onto a
comact metric space?

The intersection problem for kite-GDDs
Authors: Zhang Guizhi , An Yonghong
Published: August 2023

In this paper the intersection problem for a pair of kite-GDDs of type 4u is
investigated. The intersection problem for kite-GDDs is the determination of
all pairs (T, s) such that there exists a pair of kite-GDDs (X,H,B1) and
(X,H,B2) of the same type T and |B1?B2| = s. Let J(u) = {s : ? a pair of
kite-GDDs of type 4u intersecting in s blocks}; I(u) = {0, 1,..., bu ?
2, bu}, where bu = 2u(u ? 1) is the number of blocks of a kite-GDD of type
4u. We show that for any positive integer u ? 3, J(u) = I(u).

OBJECTIVE

To develop a risk assessment tool to identify patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at higher risk for kidney disease progression and who might benefit more from sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

A total of 41,204 patients with T2D from four Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) clinical trials were divided into derivation (70%) and validation cohorts (30%). Candidate predictors of kidney disease progression (composite of sustained ≥40% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], end-stage kidney disease, or kidney death) were selected with multivariable Cox regression. Efficacy of dapagliflozin was assessed by risk categories (low: <0.5%; intermediate: 0.5 to <2%; high: ≥2%) in Dapagliflozin Effect on Cardiovascular Events (DECLARE)-TIMI 58.

RESULTS

There were 695 events over a median follow-up of 2.4 years. The final model comprised eight independent predictors of kidney disease progression: atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, systolic blood pressure, T2D duration, glycated hemoglobin, eGFR, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, and hemoglobin. The c-indices were 0.798 (95% CI, 0.774–0.821) and 0.798 (95% CI, 0.765–0.831) in the derivation and validation cohort, respectively. The calibration plot slope (deciles of predicted vs. observed risk) was 0.98 (95% CI, 0.93–1.04) in the validation cohort. Whereas relative risk reductions with dapagliflozin did not differ across risk categories, there was greater absolute risk reduction in patients with higher baseline risk, with a 3.5% absolute risk reduction in kidney disease progression at 4 years in the highest risk group (≥1%/year). Results were similar with the 2022 Chronic Kidney Disease Prognosis Consortium risk prediction model.

CONCLUSIONS

Risk models for kidney disease progression can be applied in patients with T2D to stratify risk and identify those who experience a greater magnitude of benefit from SGLT2 inhibition.
Response surface analysis, tensile properties, and microstructure of Ti–6.5Al–3.5Mo–1.5Zr–0.3Si fabricated by laser powder bed fusion
Authors: Ou Bingxian , Lu Lixin , Meng Xiangwei , He Qing , Xie Yilin , Yan Junxia
Published: August 2023

In this work, Ti–6.5Al–3.5Mo–1.5Zr–0.3Si alloy samples under different laser process parameters were successfully fabricated by laser powder bed fusion technology. The influence of three processing parameters (laser power P, scanning speed V, and hatch spacing H) on the forming quality and tensile properties of Ti–6.5Al–3.5Mo–1.5Zr–0.3Si samples was investigated by response surface analysis. The Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II was employed to optimize and attain laser process parameters with optimal forming quality and tensile properties. Specifically, the response surface was established to reveal the optimization method of two response values (forming densification and ultimate tensile strength). The results demonstrated that hatch spacing (H) and its secondary influencing factor (H2) exerted significant effects on densification. In addition, the secondary influencing factors of laser power and hatch spacing (P2 and H2) exerted significant effects on the ultimate tensile strength of Ti–6.5Al–3.5Mo–1.5Zr–0.3Si samples. The influence mechanism of laser process parameters on the densification and tensile properties of samples was further illuminated from the perspective of melting instability and the grain growth process. The maximum tensile strength of the Ti–6.5Al–3.5Mo–1.5Zr–0.3Si sample obtained after optimization reached above 1300 MPa. The maximum strain of the Ti–6.5Al–3.5Mo–1.5Zr–0.3Si sample with the optimal plastic performance reached 16.6%. The strength and toughness of Ti–6.5Al–3.5Mo–1.5Zr–0.3Si samples were analyzed from the aspects of the microstructure and phase composition.

Authors: Hanggara Tri Poetra Raden , Noveria Ana
Published: August 2023

This research is focused on determining the intrinsic fair value of the P.T. Bank Muamalat Tbk (BMI/Bank) for pre-IPO initial offering price. The research begins with a banking industries analysis where the author will look for industry average ratios data. This analysis helps the author to summarize the company's internal & external position. Author differentiates the banking industries into two industries conventional bank and Islamic Sharia bank. Author will calculate the average ratios from the two industries, which is Commercial Conventional Bank (BUK) and Islamic commercial Bank & Islamic Business Unit (BUS & UUS), and will use them as multiples ratio. To determine the fair value of this research author uses two methods approach the relative and absolute valuation methods. On the Absolute valuation method, the author uses the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method with Free Cash Flow to Equity (FCFE) approach specifically for banks by looking at the regulatory capital with a projection of 5 years. While on the relative valuation method, the author uses three perspective approaches: earnings, book value, and revenue perspective. Multiples ratios representing the perspective are Price Earnings Ratio (PER), Price to Book Value (PBV), Price to Sales (P/S), and Price to Operating Profit (P/OPPS) approaches. To determine the Bank fair value author, differentiate the calculation involving negative earnings and see the effect of it. The data used in this research comes from historical data during the 2017 to 2022 period, also including the last quarter's performance in March 2023. The result of the relative valuation method of the three perspectives gives the result of an intrinsic fair price with a range of IDR 103.94 – IDR 168.18. Meanwhile as for absolute method, author use discounted cash flow method with free cash flow to equity for a financial firm, and it gives a result of intrinsic share price with a range IDR 152.84 – IDR 197.27. Thus, the average intrinsic fair price using the two valuation methods is IDR 149.54 – IDR 182.97. In the end, the result of this research is to find the real fair price based on academic study and could be used as a reference in the initial stock pricing pre-IPO plan of the Bank in 2023.

Authors: Nikmatul Khusnah Arthamin , Yudoko Gatot , Firman Aries F.
Published: August 2023

Turnaround is crucial in maintaining reliability and ensuring the safety of the production operation facility in Central Processing Plant "CPP Senoro of JOB Tomori, as well as in minimizing downtime and Loss of Production Opportunity (LPO), which impact the performance and commitment of the Company to all stakeholders. For this reason, an improvement in total time utilization in the third Turnaround in 2024 is a significant concern. The researchers conducted qualitative research through interviews with several key personnel in the organization as respondents to comprehend the overall complexities of the TAR Project, which often occurred while carrying out the execution, because they might lead to failure to optimize the utilization of the total time (shutdown). Researchers also evaluate how the preferred contract strategy can be an alternative solution to minimize those constraints. This research aims to provide alternative solutions and recommendations to Company to optimize the total time (shutdown) utilization through a specific long-term contract strategy. The research considers specific long-term "incumbent" contracts as an alternative solution and the most suitable contract strategy to execute the third turnaround project in 2024.
The Post-pandemic World of Work: Are We Using the Right Management Tools to Create Value?
Authors: De Corato Patrizia , Best Rhonda A.
Published: August 2023

The lockdown-induced hybrid working model changed the labour landscape significantly. However, as restrictions were relaxed, there was little sign that previous ways of working would fully return. Instead, some forms of the modern trend were here to stay. You see, once new approaches become mainstream the impact is seldom challenged. Take for example an interview, it is a trusted management tool that helps organisations decide whether a potential recruit might be the right fit. Do you interview everyone that joins your business or are there exceptions? Management tools and systems, like interviews, can remain unchallenged for centuries. This paper adds to the body of research into an organisational design that emphasises human capital and the ability to create value through intangible assets. We bring together three perspectives (i) what experts say are best management practices today, (ii) what employers in Lebanon currently do, and (iii) how effective employees feel these tools are.  We draw conclusions that can help accounting professionals to take the step and question traditional practices that might be restricting growth. Our investigation into the subject of value creation revealed that while system updates were already underway in some countries, in Lebanon, businesses are behind in capturing value from intangible assets. That’s significant because intangible assets are up to nine (9) times more valuable than a business’s physical assets. Although senior management there know that employees’ skills, know-how, and commitment can directly impact the financial performance of their business, the work people perform continues to be managed in the traditional way, which is a recipe for failure.

Authors: Balogun Babatunde Abiodun , Hogden Anne , Kemp Nenagh , Yang Lin , Agaliotis Maria
Published: August 2023

Public health agencies (PHAs) have increasingly incorporated social media into their communication mix during successive pandemics in the 21st century. However, the quality, timing, and accuracy of their health messages have varied significantly, resulting in mixed outcomes for communication, audience engagement, and pandemic management. This study aimed to identify factors influencing the effectiveness of pandemic-related health messages shared by PHAs on social media and to report their impact on public engagement as documented in the literature. A scoping literature review was conducted following a predefined protocol. An electronic search of 7 relevant databases and 5 grey literature repositories yielded 9,714 papers published between January 2003 and November 2022. Seventy-three papers were deemed eligible and selected for review. The results underscored the insufficiency of social media guidance policies for PHAs. Six themes were identified: message source, message topic, message style, message timing, content credibility and reliability, and message recipient profile. These themes encompassed 20 variables that could inform PHAs’ social media public health communication during pandemics. Additionally, the findings revealed potential interconnectedness among the variables, and this study concluded by proposing a conceptual model that expands upon existing theoretical foundations for developing and evaluating pandemic-related health messaging.

Salah satu daripada unsur utama keperluan hidup manusia adalah pemakanan. Pemakanan berperanan penting terhadap pembangunan insan sama ada pembangunan fizikal, spiritual, mental atau emosi. Konsep makanan dalam Islam diklasifikasikan kepada makanan halal, makanan makruh, makanan haram dan makanan syubhah. Amalan pemakanan halal amat ditekankan oleh Islam bertujuan untuk memastikan fizikal dan rohani umat Islam sentiasa harmoni, suci dan dicintai Allah SWT. Berbeza dengan amalan pemakanan haram yang banyak mengakibatkan kemudaratan kepada pemakannya. Antaranya, makanan itu akan mempengaruhi jiwa pemakannya sehingga dia lebih gemar melakukan maksiat dan benci akan ketaatan, mendatangkan bahaya serta memberi kesan buruk kepada fizikal dan mental. Selain daripada itu, amalan pemakanan secara melampaui batasan juga menyebabkan pelbagai jenis penyakit kepada pemakannya. Perkara ini dipaparkan di dalam alQuran dan Hadis. Kitab Fi Zilal al-Quran merupakan salah sebuah daripada kitab-kitab tafsir di pasaran yang banyak membantu umat Islam dalam memahami terjemahan dan tafsiran ayat-ayat suci al-Quran dengan jelas dan sempurna.

Interdental Pyogenic Granuloma with Ossification in a Pediatric Patient - A Rare Case Report and a Mini Literature Review
Authors:   Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, Indraprastha Dental College, Uttar Pradesh, India, Gupta Snigdha
Published: August 2023

Pyogenic granuloma is an acquired benign proliferation of capillary blood vessels of the skin and oral cavity.Ossification in Pyogenic Granuloma is an uncommon pathology that is linked with the possible etiopathogenesis of irritation and foreign body reaction. A 12-year-old female patient reported a chief complaint of gingival growth in the upper right back teeth region, which was initially small in size and eventually grew to attain the present size in 2 months. Clinical examination revealed a painless pinkish pedunculated growth of approximately 1.5x1 centimetre superior-inferiorly and media-laterally. The histopathological examination of the excised lesion revealed an unlikely diagnosis of pyogenic granuloma with ossification. The rarity of the lesion can be attributed to the possible irritation to the tooth-supporting structures caused by rotation of the premolar. Also, ossification seen within the lesion adds to the dilemma. This case report presents a rare case of a gingival pyogenic granuloma in the interdental region adjacent to the rotated maxillary second premolar. It may have a possible etiology of trauma to interdental periodontal fibres caused by rotation of premolars due to disturbances during development.
Skin layer classification by feedforward neural network in bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy

Published: August 2023

Conductivity change in skin layers has been classified by source indicator ok
(k=1: Stratum corneum, k=2: Epidermis, k=3: Dermis, k=4: Fat, and k=5: Stratum corneum + Epidermis) trained from feedforward neural network (FNN) in bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS). In BIS studies, treating the skin as a bulk, limits the differentiation of conductivity changes in individual skin layers, however skin layer classification using FNN shows promise in accurately categorizing skin layers, which is essential for predicting source indicators ok
and initiating skin dielectric characteristics diagnosis. The ok
is trained by three main conceptual points which are (i) implementing FNN for predicting k in conductivity change, (ii) profiling four impedance inputs αξ

How embedded lead users can contribute to innovation process: A systematic literature review
Authors: Laitio Anna , Nätti Satu
Published: August 2023

Embedded lead users (ELUs) are ﬁrm employees who are also users of the ﬁrm’s products, holding that role most often due to their active participation in their spare time in the user domain. ELUs are able to integrate knowledge of customer needs in the innovation process based on their social contacts, user experiences, and knowledge of the innovating network or organization, for example. Due to this ability ELUs can facilitate innovation processes. The aim of this systematic literature review is to examine how according to the existing literature ELUs can contribute to different stages of the company innovation process. Three research questions are answered. 1) What kind of resources can ELUs offer for the innovation process? 2) How and based on which resources do ELUs contribute to the different stages of the innovation process? 3) What kinds of roles do ELUs have and how does their dual role in the user domain and the company influence the innovation process? Findings of the study bring new managerial perspectives on how companies can utilize ELUs in their innovation practices. In addition, by forming a holistic picture of current ELU research, this paper offers a variety of theoretical contributions in the form of holistic description of ELUs role in the innovation process in its different stages.

Objetivo: O uso de jaleco é fundamental para a proteção dos profissionais da área da saúde, contudo esse item pode servir de veículo de disseminação de micro-organismos patogênicos em ambientes clínicos, conferindo assim um risco para o paciente. A prática odontológica abrange uma grande variedade de procedimentos que expõem profissionais e pacientes ao contato com secreções da cavidade bucal. Staphylococcus aureus é, atualmente, um dos micro-organismos que mais preocupam os profissionais da saúde devido à rapidez com que desenvolvem resistência aos antibióticos. Objetivo: avaliar a contaminação por S. aureus multirresistente, dos jalecos, usados por alunos e professores da clínica Odontológica e analisar o perfil de resistência aos antibióticos das cepas isoladas. Materiais e métodos: foram realizadas análises microbiológicas a partir dos materiais coletados dos jalecos de alunos e professores da clínica odontológica do UNIFAA. Resultados: nossos resultados mostraram crescimento de Staphylococcus spp, bacilos Gram-positivos e bacilos Gram-negativos. Destaca-se que em 40% das amostras houve crescimento de S. aureus e em 53 % das análises houve crescimento de Staphylococcus coagulase negativo (SCN). Há que se enfatizar o isolamento de uma cepa de Staphylococcus coagulase negativo (SCN) resistente a 9 dos 11 antibióticos testados, resultado relevante devido a cepa apresentar alto perfil de resistência aos antibióticos. Conclusão: a disseminação de agentes microbianos em clínicas odontológicas se dá, principalmente, através de equipamentos de proteção individual utilizados durante os procedimentos clínicos, o que torna fundamental a reflexão sobre as ações preventivas e educativas com vistas a resolução deste problema.

Contudo, a abrangência desta expressão tem revelado um processo de ensino que se orienta pela diversidade de conteúdo como mera experimentação por parte dos estudantes, ganhando mais vigor o trabalho com reflexões em torno de regras de modalidades esportivas, elementos históricos das práticas corporais, as exclusões nasaulas na relação com os marcadores sociais, conjugando uma denominação de aulas teóricas. Deste modo, as vivências e experiências construídas a partir das práticas corporais parecem ter menos relevo, carregando consigo um descompromisso para acompreensão destas em sua profundidade e seus desdobramentos para a construção de conhecimentos por parte dos estudantes. Ao avistarmos uma nova via de acesso, estamos propondo uma aproximação com a Praxiologia Motriz na expectativa de que possamos trilhar uma caminhada que, ao invés de separar teoria e prática, possa construir a práxis educativa.
Estrés y enfermedad mental: la otra epidemia
Authors: Cueto Escobedo Jonathan
Published: August 2023

En 1936, Hans Selye describió una serie de respuestas fisiológicas y conductuales en animales de laboratorio a las que llamó “un síndrome general ante estímulos nocivos”. Tiempo después, este síndrome sería ampliamente conocido bajó el nombre de “estrés”, un término que antes sólo era aplicado a las fuerzas de desgaste que actúan sobre diferentes materiales de construcción, pero que ahora, dentro de las ciencias de la salud, hace referencia a una serie de respuestas fisiológicas y conductuales que se producen cuando un organismo enfrenta una situación de reto o desafío. Estas son las respuestas de estrés y a los estímulos que los desencadenan se les ha llamado estresores o estímulos estresantes.
Cuando un organismo percibe una situación de peligro, como la presencia de un depredador, la información sensorial llega hasta los centros del cerebro que se conocen como sistema límbico y que se encargan de regular las emociones. Dentro de este sistema se activan estructuras como la amígdala, un conjunto de neuronas encargado de “interpretar” el valor emocional de los estímulos. Se podría decir que la amígdala clasifica todo lo que experimentamos en 3 categorías: lo bueno, lo malo y lo desconocido. Ante estímulos “malos” o de peligro, es decir estresores, se activan más estructuras del sistema límbico que se encargan de regular las emociones y las respuestas conductuales asociadas a esta. Por ejemplo, la activación del hipotálamo producirá la secreción en cascada de hormonas cómo la hormona liberadora de corticotropinas (CRH en inglés) que viajará hasta oro conjunto de neuronas en la glándula hipófisis para activarla y ésta a su vez secretará la Hormona adrenocorticotrópica (ACTH en inglés) la cual viajará a través del torrente sanguíneo hasta llegar a las glándulas adrenales, justo encima de los riñones. La estimulación de las glándulas adrenales hace que secreten cortisol, hormona que viaja en el torrente sanguíneo para producir un cambio en las funciones de diferentes órganos con el fin de aumentar los recursos que deben llegar al cerebro y al músculo para hacer frente a los estímulos estresantes. Por ejemplo, se acelera la frecuencia respiratoria y la frecuencia cardiaca, mientras que se inhiben procesos no necesarios como la digestión y la peristalsis. Todo esto mediante la activación del sistema nervioso simpático encargado de regular las respuestas autónomas del cuerpo. El cortisol y los glucocorticoides también regulan el metabolismo de la glucosa, favoreciendo la ruptura del glucógeno almacenado para obtener nueva glucosa y la ruptura de la glucosa para obtener más energía y así enfrentar el peligro. Una vez que todo ha pasado los niveles de cortisol y corticoides empiezan a disminuir y el organismo comienza a funcionar de manera normal.

¿Cómo influye la falta de sueño sobre la conducta adictiva?
Authors: López Muciño Luis Angel , García Torres Ibis A. , Acosta Hernández Mario E. , García García Fabio
Published: August 2023

En su Tractatus Theológico-Politicus, Baruch Spinoza escribió que “es una ley universal de la naturaleza humana que nadie rechaza lo que considera bueno excepto por la esperanza de un bien mayor o el miedo a una gran pérdida, y que nadie soporta ningún mal excepto para evitar un mal mayor u obtener un gran bien”. En otras palabras, para Spinoza existían dos fuerzas fundamentales que dirigían la conducta humana: la búsqueda de recompensas y la evasión del castigo.
En las neurociencias, una recompensa puede definirse como aquel estímulo que se traduce en sentimiento de placer, excitación y gozo; es el componente principal del aprendizaje basado en incentivos y la realización de conductas dirigidas y consumatorias. Históricamente, las recompensas le han permitido al humano sobrevivir al conservar aquellas conductas que facilitan la obtención de alimento, agua, compañía, sexo y descendencia. No obstante, al mismo tiempo han influido en el desarrollo de conductas nocivas como la compulsión y el abuso de sustancias.
Una de las principales metas de la investigación neurobiológica es entender los cambios a nivel molecular, celular y de circuitos que medían la transición del uso ocasional y controlado de dichas sustancias a la pérdida de control en el consumo y la adicción.
En este trabajo se explicarán las bases neurobiológicas que subyacen en la transición entre en el placer y la compulsión. Posteriormente, se relacionará la influencia de la reducción de horas de sueño como factor de riesgo en el aumento en el consumo de drogas y alimentos palatables así como las bases biológicas de esta interacción.
La pandemia de covid-19 como ejemplo de crisis civilizatoria
Authors: Brugada Rodrigo
Published: August 2023

Este ensayo pretende analizar las características de la actual pandemia y generar elementos para la discusión de su evolución a nivel mundial. Propongo, en principio, que la pandemia por Covid-19 se conciba como un ejemplo más dentro de la enorme crisis civilizatoria que ya lleva tiempo gestándose. Esta propuesta se sostiene en tres ejes de análisis, ligados entre sí por la construcción de otredades y narrativas encaminadas a la manutención del status quo. El primero de estos ejes aborda la propia génesis del virus, en un segundo lugar su diseminación, y finalmente la(s) respuesta(s) generadas ante la enfermedad.

Las enfermedades tropicales son consideradas como un problema de salud pública a pesar de los avances en el control sanitario de algunas de ellas; la situación que puede variar por la desviación de los recursos financieros para el abordaje de COVID-19, una enfermedad emergente de carácter pandémico, capaz de causar en el hospedador humano síndrome de insuficiencia respiratoria aguda severa. Con base en la revisión bibliográfica se emite esta opinión al respecto, con el fin de alertar a la comunidad científica mundial sobre tal situación.
The relationship between the level of expected volatility and multipliers in the US stock market

The subject of the research of this article is to identify the relationship between financial multipliers and the expected volatility (implied volatility) of shares of companies in the software sector of the United States. The purpose of the work is to investigate and characterize the effects of expected volatility on the undervaluation or overvaluation of company shares. The object of this study are 38 largest companies in the software sector with a capitalization of more than $ 5 billion. Special attention is paid to the nonparametric Tail model, which allows us to identify and confirm the existence of a relationship between the level of expected volatility and the logarithm of the growth rate of the financial multiplier.   The very novelty of the proposed article lies, firstly, in the fact that the analysis was carried out in the coronavirus era, which is timely and interesting, since the Covid-19 pandemic had a serious impact not only on the lives and health of citizens, but also on financial markets. Secondly, interest in this topic cannot weaken due to the constant development and modification of financial markets, which forces investors to develop new and new approaches to evaluating companies for profit. Identifying undervalued companies in the financial market is one of the key goals of analysts and investors, since timely finding companies whose fair value is currently undervalued can bring significantly more income than investing in companies whose stock value is fairly valued. The results achieved within the framework of the conducted research are of practical significance, since they allow us to rank the identified companies with the same level of undervaluation by the value of expected volatility and, thereby, choose the most attractive for investments.
A Bridge across the Abyss? Digitalization and Transhumanism as a New Anthropological and Social Reality in the Context of Ideological Searches of Personality (Historical, Philosophical and General Theoretical Aspects)
Authors: Suslov Alexey Viktorovich , Gusev Dmitrii Alekseevich
Published: August 2023

One of the main existentials of a person is the fact of his mortality and, most importantly, his knowledge about it, which inevitably leads everyone, one way or another, to the idea of overcoming death, to the idea of immortality, or – a saving bridge across the abyss of non–existence, which connects the present being of a person with his future being. In search of this bridge, a person talks about various "variants" of immortality: physical (naturalistic); biological; social; scientific-technical, technological and technocratic; religious – Christian providential immortality. The totality of socio-philosophical and anthropological concepts grouped around the idea of scientific and technological improvement of human nature, significant prolongation of life and, to the limit, overcoming mortality, is one of the modern trends of philosophical thought, known as transhumanism. The article attempts to consider transhumanism in the broad ideological context of the materialistic-atheistic, scientististic, positivist and evolutionist project, which, in general, is based on the "multifaceted" anthropovolutarianism that is constantly present in the philosophical search for humanity; and also – to analyze transhumanistic ideas from the positions of the opposite – idealistic-theistic, creationist, anti–positivist worldview camp, - based on providentialism, which for centuries and – currently – opposes anthropocentric voluntarism and transhumanism. The research being undertaken aims – in the context of the centuries–old polemic between anthropovolutarianism and providentialism - to clarify the reality or illusory nature of the proposed strategies of immortality, the search for a real bridge leading man and humanity through the abyss of threatened non-existence.
Adesão ao tratamento imunossupressor: avaliação comparativa entre diferentes fases do pós-transplante hepático
Authors: Bastos Katherine Xavier , Accioly Gabriel Alencar , Arrais Paulo Sérgio Dourado
Published: August 2023

Objetivo: Analisar a adesão ao tratamento imunossupressor do paciente submetido ao transplante hepático em fase pós-transplante hepático recente e intermediária. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado no Ambulatório de Transplante Hepático do Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio, entre julho de 2019 e dezembro de 2022 com pacientes entre 18 e 75 anos. 61 pacientes preencheram os critérios de inclusão e, foram caracterizados quanto ao sexo, idade, estado civil, renda familiar, procedência e imunossupressores em uso. Os resultados da adesão ao tratamento imunossupressor foram obtidos através do Brief Medication Questionnaire (BMQ). Utilizou-se o programa Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) para armazenamento e análise dos dados. Resultados: No período recente do pós-transplante, os níveis de provável baixa adesão (44,2%) e baixa adesão (37,9%) foram mais frequêntes e influenciados pelas dimensões regime e recordação do BMQ. No período intermediário, a provável adesão (52,4%) foi destaque e pode ter sido influenciado pela diminuição do impacto das dimensões regime e crença, e persistência da dimensão recordação. Conclusão: Observou-se melhora na adesão, quando do ingresso dos pacientes na fase intermediária. Entretanto, não foi suficiente para alcançar uma adesão total, o que nos leva a pensar na complexidade do tema, das diversas adaptações, principalmente, nas questões relativas ao tratamento medicamentoso.
