Published: September 2022

Purpose: to determine hydrological characteristics in the design of fish passage and spawning channels near waterworks. Materials and methods. The methodological basis of the development was the well-known approaches to the determination of the hydrological characteristics of the near-waterworks sections of the rivers, which describe the hydrological conditions for fish passage and spawning channel’ creation and operation. The factual basis was data on the values of the hydrological characteristics of the river Don near the Kochetovsky waterworks facility. The methodological basis was technologies for processing hydrological information. Results and discussion. As the determining conditions for the creation and functioning of near-waterworks fish passage and fish passage and spawning channels, the discharges and levels of the river Don along the damside of the upstream and downstream of the Kochetovsky waterworks facility are considered. The values of the specified hydrological characteristics are determined according to the data of their 44-year daily measurements for different levels of their availability at different durations of seasonal periods. As time periods for the analysis of hydrological characteristics, various options for the period of the spawning run and the periods of waterworks operation in the drop interstream mode are considered. Conclusions. The processing and systematization of hydrological data on seasonal periods of observation (of different durations) of the river flow of the river Don was carried out, and the corresponding graphical dependences for the values of water levels in the downstream of the Kochetovsky waterworks facility were made. The expediency of consideration and use in the design of fish passage and fish pass-spawning channels as the calculated level and flow hydrological characteristics of the river, determined by the period of the spawning run of anadromous fish species and the operational time of the waterworks in drop mode is substantiated.

Purpose: to assess the ecological and reclamation state of an irrigated area on southern chernozems to restore its fertility. Materials and methods. The object of research is southern chernozems located in the dry steppe zone of Semikarakorsky district Rostov region, irrigated with II class water. To study the ecological and reclamation state of the irrigated area, soil samples, in which the water extract and the soil absorbing complex (SAC) compositions, the total humus, and the granulometric composition were determined, were taken. The soil bulk density was determined in the pits by the ring method according to Kachinsky. Results. It has been stated that southern chernozems, despite the presence of alkalinity in the parent rock (2.04–2.24 mmol(eq)/100 g), in general, up to 160 cm are mostly non-alkaline. Significant changes were noted in SAC, in which there was an accumulation of exchangeable sodium (up to 5–7 %) and magnesium (19–24 % of ∑ SAC) and a decrease in exchangeable calcium by 8 % compared to the natural one. These negative phenomena provoked a decrease in the humus content to 2.83 % (with the optimal parameter for this zone being 4 %) and soil compaction to 1.37 t/m³. Conclusions. The actual data on the ecological and reclamation state of the irrigated area indicated the variability of the main properties of the southern chernozem during prolonged irrigation with water of an unfavorable composition towards their deterioration in comparison with the criteria for a favorable ecological state of these soils. To improve the ecological and reclamation state of the surveyed irrigated area, measures are proposed depending on the indicators, such as the accumulation of organic matter, deep loosening, chemical reclamation, soil saturation with calcium, and groundwater diversion.

Published: September 2022

Purpose: to study the impact of slope steepness and length on the intensity of erosion processes and, on this basis, to identify working areas (fields) that are homo-geneous in terms of fertility, degree of their erosion, surface (relief) morphology, including steepness, exposure, slope shape and other indicators. Methods. The field test layout on ordinary chernozems within the Azov inclined plain of Rostov region. The studies were carried out from 1973 to 2021 on slopes with main crops, bare fallow, fall-plowing by the method of measuring ravines. Results. It was found that each specific degree of erosion occupies a certain position in the modern agricultural landscape, located in the form of belts of various widths on slopes of a certain steepness. Thus, weakly eroded soils occupy slopes from 0.4 to 2.5–3.0°, and the soil loss value is 5–19 t/ha. The moderately eroded soils are formed on slopes with a steepness of 3 to 4.5–5°, and soil loss can be 20–35 t/ha. Highly eroded soils are formed with a slope steepness of more than 5° and soil loss from 40 to 60 t/ha. Analogous plots that are similar in intensity of manifestations of erosion processes and soil cover are combined into agrolandscape strips, which in the future are fields or working areas with approximately the same set of soil protection technologies, techniques, measures, crops that provide control over erosion processes. Conclusions. A successful soil erosion control is possible only on the basis of an adaptive landscape organization of the territory, which makes it possible to increase technologies, techniques and measures systematically and consistently depending on the intensity of soil erosion on slopes of various steepness and distance from the watershed line, designated as agro-landscape stripes.

Soy Without Borders: The Transnational Dynamics of Commodity Frontiers In South America (1971-2019)
Authors: Rocha Cassiano Brito , Nehring Ryan , Silva Sandro Dutra E
Published: September 2022

The rapid growth of soybean production and exports over the past five decades has transformed vast regions in South America. Five countries in particular - Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay - are amongst the ten largest soy producers in the world. Taken together, they have been called the United Republic of Soy or Soylandia due to similarities in the socio-environmental drivers and consequences of soy production between their territories. This article analyses the nature of soy production and exports in Soylandia as a window into the nature of transnational commodity frontiers. We draw on data from FAOSTAT and the Observatory of Economic Complexity to show how the commodity frontier of soy has expanded over time within and between these five countries, as well as the importance of ecoregions in shaping that expansion. We argue that more attention should be paid to the socio-environmental drivers and consequences of agricultural commodity frontiers that transcend traditional understandings of national borders.

Sexual dimorphism in the response to dietary restriction in mice: A systematic review of the literature
Authors: Mitchell Sarah J. , Mitchell James R.
Published: September 2022

Background:

Dietary restriction (DR) is a widely used experimental intervention in aging research due to its consistent ability to extend lifespan in most species tested. DR is an all-encompassing term describing interventions that restrict some aspect of nutrition - from calorie amount to calorie type to timing of food intake - and yet share common functional endpoints including extended longevity, but also improvements in healthspan, or the time spent in good health, as well as metabolic fitness and stress resistance. Recent studies highlight the preponderance of sexual dimorphisms in the response to DR and argue for the importance of inclusion of both sexes in preclinical research.

OBJECTIVE:

We set out to perform a comprehensive assessment of documented health and lifespan outcomes of interventional DR studies in mice that display sexual dimorphism.

METHODS:

A systematic literature search was conducted according to the PRISMA statement to identify mouse DR studies in which both sexes were included using PubMed. The specific DR interventions examined included calorie restriction (CR), intermittent fasting (IF), protein restriction (PR) and methionine restriction (MetR), with experimental endpoints focused on lifespan and healthspan.

RESULTS:

Sexual dimorphism in the lifespan and healthspan effects of various DR regimens is a common finding in mice, with the magnitude and direction of dimorphic responses influenced by the specific dietary intervention as well as the strain of mouse used in the study.

CONCLUSIONS:

Despite the fact that preclinical lifespan and healthspan analyses in mice reveal sexual dimorphism in the response to DR, there is still a large gap in our understanding of how sex affects dietary outcomes. More preclinical research comparing both sexes in the same study with better attention to reporting metrics during peer review and in easily searchable text including title and abstract is required to further our understanding of the impact of sex on health and lifespan in response to DR in rodent studies.
A survey of semantic web (Web 3.0), its applications, challenges, future and its relation with Internet of things (IoT)
Authors: Anwar Adeem Ali
Published: September 2022

The Semantic Web (Web 3.0) is an advancement of the existing web in which knowledge is given well-defined importance, allowing people and machines to operate better. The Semantic Web is the next step in the evolution of the Web. The semantic web improves online technologies in need of generating, distributing, and linking material. In literature, multiple surveys have been done on the semantic web (Web 3.0), but those surveys are limited to some specific topics. According to the best of our understanding, none of the surveys provides a comprehensive study about the applications, challenges, and future of the semantic web along with its relationship with the Internet of things (IoT). The previous surveys focused on the Web 3.0 without touching on applications or challenges or focused on only the application prospect of the web 3.0, focused on the just the challenges, or focused on web 3.0 relationship with either internet of things or knowledge graphs but failed to touch the other important factors i.e., failed to provide comprehensive web 3.0 survey. This survey paper covers the gaps created from the previous survey papers in the same field and provides a comprehensive survey about web 3.0, a comparison between web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, the study of application and challenges in web 3.0, the relationship between web 3.0 with IoT and knowledge graph. Moreover, it focuses on the evolution of the web, and semantic web along with an explanation of the various layers, ontology tools, and semantic web tools with their comparison and semantic web service search. Despite all the shortcomings and challenges, the semantic web is moving in the right direction, and it is the future of the web.
Communication information exchange and transmission method of industrial Internet of things based on audio information hiding
Authors: Tian Yinlei , Wang Haiyan
Published: September 2022

In order to improve the accuracy of information exchange transmission and reduce the transmission response delay, this paper proposes an industrial Internet of things communication information exchange transmission method based on audio information hiding. Firstly, information embedding algorithm is used to extract the communication audio carrier information. Secondly, audio information hiding algorithm is used to realize the hidden embedding of specific information; Then, the information transmission data integration is realized according to the similarity matrix. Finally, the Pareto distribution is used to realize the information transmission data matching, and the audio information hiding is used to realize the data exchange transmission control. The experimental results show that the transmission accuracy of this method is 98.3%, the transmission accuracy is as high as 96.0%, and the response delay is only 16 ms, indicating that this method can improve the transmission effect of industrial Internet of things communication information exchange.

Published: September 2022

Náusea e vômito antecipatórios (N/Va) ocorrem previamente à administração de quimioterapia antineoplásica, e são difíceis de controlar por meios farmacológicos, uma vez que possuem componentes intrapessoais, como a ansiedade. Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da intervenção de enfermagem com musicoterapia na redução de N/Va e ansiedade de pacientes em tratamento antineoplásico. Trata-se de um estudo piloto de um estudo quase-experimental, que faz parte do projeto de extensão Liga Acadêmica de Oncologia (LAON) da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), sobre a implementação de musicoterapia como intervenção de enfermagem em 15 pacientes. A musicoterapia foi aplicada aos pacientes no ambulatório de quimioterapia do Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio (HUWC), em Fortaleza-CE, com um aparelho MP3 por um período de 30 minutos, utilizando headphones. A playlist musical escolhida para este estudo foi de sons da natureza do site “Mundo Interpessoal”. Para a coleta de dados foram aplicados o formulário elaborado pela Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC), e o Inventário de Ansiedade Traço-Estado (IDATE), e levantamento dos dados sócio demográficos e clínicos do paciente. A maior parte dos pacientes apresentou N/Va em alta intensidade (46,7%), todavia esse valor foi reduzido para 26,7%. Da mesma forma, mediante aplicação do formulário IDATE, a maior parte dos pacientes apresentou escore moderado de ansiedade (26%), reduzindo para 6,7%. Conclui-se, portanto, que a musicoterapia demonstrou eficácia para atenuar os episódios de N/Va e ansiedade de pacientes em tratamento com quimioterapia antineoplásica.

Published: September 2022

The aim of this study is to select an efficient, inexpensive adsorbent for the removal of synthetic dyes from the wastewater of the textile industry. We used waste products obtained during the regeneration of ion-exchange resins formed from highly saline aqueous solutions of calcium and magnesium that do not require pre-treatment, as well as magnesite minerals that contain traces of impurities, such as Fe, Zn, Co, Cd, Mn. The spectrophotometric characteristics of synthetic organic dyes in wastewater have been studied. The study has shown that in the process of adsorption, synthetic organic dyes are adsorbed by 95–99% in less than 15 minutes. Since synthetic organic dyes have active stretching, the adsorbent particles are not deposited in a dispersed colloidal form in the purified water and particle flotation occurs. To prevent this process, we used the required amount of sprayed activated bentonite with a negative charge, since bentonite causes rapid coagulation of dispersed adsorbent particles and also adsorbs dyes. Experiments have shown that to purify 1 liter of water contaminated with synthetic organic dyes, it is sufficient to use 10–15 ml of salt water obtained during the regeneration of ion-exchange resins or 1.5 g of magnesite, or 1.3 g of dolomite. The developed adsorbent eliminates pollutants by reducing the biological and chemical oxygen demand. These reductions are about ~95%. The adsorption treatment which we offer is effective and inexpensive, since the adsorbent is a mixture obtained from industrial waste and local bentonite
Fe-CONTAINING CARBON NANOTUBES AS CATALYSTS IN THE AEROBIC OXIDATION REACTIONS OF DECALIN AND TETRADECANE
Authors:   M.Nagiyev Institute of Catalysis and Inorganic Chemistry, NAS of Azerbaijan, Mustafayeva N.A.
Published: September 2022

This article studies the catalytic activity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in the oxidation reactions of aliphatic and polycyclic hydrocarbons is studied. In order to determine the catalytic activity, MWCNTs catalysts containing 22.8% Fe each were used. Catalyst samples were synthesized from propane gas under optimal conditions determined by CVD method. The experiments were performed at 5 different temperatures (60, 80, 100, 120, 1400C) for 2 hours. No significant change in the oxidation reaction of both hydrocarbons was observed at relatively low temperatures. In the oxidation of decalin, when the reaction temperature rises to 1200C and 1400C, oxidation has already taken place, and the rate of the reaction is directly proportional to the increase in temperature. The same trend can be seen in the oxidation reaction of tetradecane at MWCNTs with temperatures of 120 and 1400C. However, unlike decalin, the MWCNTs sample in tetradecane oxidation showed optimal catalytic performance at 1200C. However, at these temperatures, where oxidation occurs, the oxidation of decalin and tetradecane in an environment without a catalyst is almost non-existent

Metal-polymer catalysts in the reaction of hydrogenation of benzene have been studied. Salts of nickel, palladium, and H2PtCl6·6H2O were used as metals, which were deposited on polymer carriers, in particular, on polyethylenepolyamine, poly-2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine, styrene copolymer with maleic anhyd¬ride, and poly-4-vinylpyridine. A number of polymer complexes were also synthesized, tuned to benzene hydrogenation products and cross-linked with N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, a crosslinking agent. The temperature of the hydrogenation reaction was controlled within 20–600C. Hydrogenation was carried out in an autoclave. It has been established that complexes based on platinum and poly-4-vinylpyridine lead to a high yield of the product of incomplete hydrogenation of benzene, cyclohexene. Also, it has been established that the Pt-poly-2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine complex tuned to benzene and cyclohexene exhibits a higher catalytic activity

Background
During conventional Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist (NAVA), the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) is used for triggering and cycling-off inspiratory assist, with a fixed PEEP (so called “Triggered Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist” or “tNAVA”). However, significant post-inspiratory activity of the diaphragm can occur, believed to play a role in maintaining end-expiratory lung volume. Adjusting pressure continuously, in proportion to both inspiratory and expiratory EAdi (Continuous NAVA, or cNAVA), would not only offer inspiratory assist for tidal breathing, but also may aid in delivering a “neurally adjusted PEEP”, and more specific breath-by-breath unloading.

Methods
Nine adult New Zealand white rabbits were ventilated during independent conditions of: resistive loading (RES1 or RES2), CO2 load (CO2) and acute lung injury (ALI), either via tracheotomy (INV) or non-invasively (NIV). There were a total of six conditions, applied in a non-randomized fashion: INV-RES1, INV-CO2, NIV-CO2, NIV-RES2, NIV-ALI, INV-ALI. For each condition, tNAVA was applied first (3 min), followed by 3 min of cNAVA. This comparison was repeated 3 times (repeated cross-over design). The NAVA level was always the same for both modes, but was newly titrated for each condition. PEEP was manually set to zero during tNAVA. During cNAVA, the assist during expiration was proportional to the EAdi. During all runs and conditions, ventilator-delivered pressure (Pvent), esophageal pressure (Pes), and diaphragm electrical activity (EAdi) were measured continuously. The tracings were analyzed breath-by-breath to obtain peak inspiratory and mean expiratory values.

Results
For the same peak Pvent, the distribution of inspiratory and expiratory pressure differed between tNAVA and cNAVA. For each condition, the mean expiratory Pvent was always higher (for all conditions 4.0 ± 1.1 vs. 1.1 ± 0.5 cmH2O, P < 0.01) in cNAVA than in tNAVA. Relative to tNAVA, mean inspiratory EAdi was reduced on average (for all conditions) by 19 % (range 14 %–25 %), p < 0.05. Mean expiratory EAdi was also lower during cNAVA (during INV-RES1, INV-CO2, INV-ALI, NIV-CO2 and NIV-ALI respectively, P < 0.05). The inspiratory Pes was reduced during cNAVA all 6 conditions (p < 0.05). Unlike tNAVA, during cNAVA the expiratory pressure was comparable with that predicted mathematically (mean difference of 0.2 ± 0.8 cmH2O).

Conclusion
Continuous NAVA was able to apply neurally adjusted PEEP, which led to a reduction in inspiratory effort compared to triggered NAVA.
Investigating Forest Disturbance Using Landsat Data in the Nagagamisis Central Plateau, Ontario, Canada
Authors: Forsythe K. Wayne , McCartney Grant
Published: September 2022

The Nagagamisis Central Plateau (located in Northern Ontario, Canada) is an area of distinct natural and cultural significance. The importance of this land was officially recognized in 1957 through the establishment of the Nagagamisis Provincial Park Reserve. The park has experienced significant expansion since its inception and is currently under development as one of Ontario Parks ‘Signature Sites’. Since the 1980s, timber harvest activity has led to widespread forest disturbance just outside of the park boundaries. This research is focused on the detection of stand level forest disturbances associated with timber harvest occurring near Nagagamisis Provincial Park. The image time-series data selected for this project were Landsat TM and ETM+; spanning a twenty-five year period from 1984 to 2009. The Tasselled Cap Transformation and Normalized Difference Moisture Index were derived for use in unsupervised image classification to determine the land cover for each image in the time-series. Image band differencing and raster arithmetic were performed to create maps illustrating the size and spatial distribution of stand level forest disturbances between image dates. A total area of 1649 km2 or 26.1% of the study area experienced stand level disturbance during the analysis period.
The Psycho-Social and Socio-Cultural Factors of Crystal Methamphetamine Use Among the Gay, Bi and MSM (GBM) Population
Authors: Hui Christian
Published: September 2022

In the United States, men who have sex with men (MSM) remain as the demographic group with the highest HIV incidence rates and account for 53% of new HIV infections in 2006 (Rajasingham, Mimiaga, White, Pinkston, Baden, & Mitty, 2012). One of the reasons accounting for such high rates of HIV transmission between gay, bisexual and MSM (GBM) can be attributed to poly-substance use and the use of crystal methamphetamine (Solomon, Halkitis, Moeller, & Pappas, 2012; Rajasingham et al., 2012). The U.S. Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (2007) reported methamphetamine use in the MSM community is of particular concern due to the high prevalence of HIV and the use of the stimulant. Meanwhile, researchers have found methamphetamine use is closely corrleated to sexual risk taking among GBM and such intimate link between risky sexual behaviour and methamphetamine use have led to a possible double epidemic (Halkitis, Green, & Carragher, 2006). In particular, the use of methamphetamine has been found to be correlated to the frequency of unprotected insertive anal intercourse (UIAI) and unprotected receptive anal intercourse (URAI) among HIV positive and persons with unknown serostatus causal partners over time (Halkitis, Mukherjee, & Palamar, 2009). As an effort to better understand this social pheonemon, this paper focuses on the exploration and identification of the psycho-social and socio-cultural factors of crystal methamphetamine use among the GBM population.

Background: Empirical evidence pertaining to the influence of treatment preferences on attrition, adherence and outcomes in intervention evaluation trials is inconsistent. The inconsistency can be explained by the method used for allocating treatment and measuring preferences. The current methodological study is designed to address these factors by implementing the two-stage partially randomized or preference trial design, and administering a validated measure to assess participants’ preferences for the treatments under evaluation. It aims to compare attrition, adherence and outcomes for participants allocated randomly or by preference to treatment. The study is in its final stages of data collection; its protocol is presented in this paper. 

Methods/Design: A partially randomized clinical or preference trial is used. Eligible participants are randomized to two trial arms. First is the random arm involving random assignment to treatments, and second is the preference arm involving allocation to the chosen treatment. Participants with chronic insomnia are targeted. Two behavioral treatments are offered, stimulus control therapy and sleep restriction therapy, in the same format (small group) and dose (two sessions given over a 4-week period). A participant log is used to collect data on attrition. Adherence is evaluated in terms of exposure and enactment of treatment. Sleep-related outcomes (sleep parameters and perceived insomnia severity) are measured at pretest, posttest, 6 and 12 month follow-up. Treatment preferences, adherence and outcomes are assessed with reliable and valid measures. 

Discussion: The advantages and limitations of the preference trial design are highlighted. The challenges in implementing the trial are discussed relative to the distribution of participants in the groups defined by treatment received and method of treatment allocation.

Levinas and the ethical turn : a Nietzschean critique and response
Authors: Thut Ian
Published: September 2022

The contentious ‘ethical turn’ in continental philosophy motivates this project. Emmanuel Levinas is among the leaders of this movement to draw renewed attention to ethics in the continental tradition. Levinas describes the transcendence that transpires in the self-Other encounter as the source of ethical obligation. However, given Friedrich Nietzsche’s ethical critique, his followers view the category of transcendence with suspicion. They think it presupposes an ontology of unchanging being. Since Nietzsche and his disciples reject ontologies of unchanging being, preferring immanence instead, they think that transcendence inevitably appeals to some imaginary world beyond the one we inhabit. Consequently, they view all philosophers of transcendence as escapist. To assess whether Levinas’ philosophical project is viable, I draw from Nietzsche’s work to mount a Nietzschean critique of Levinas. I subsequently consider a Levinasian reply to the Nietzschean
critique, arguing that Levinas’ transcendence provides a compelling alternative to a Nietzschean ethics of immanence.
Determining a refugee's identity by means of categorical principles : the role of evidence in the refugee determination process : a case study of the Immigration & Refugee Board Documentation Centre
Authors: Smith Adrienne C
Published: September 2022

This project considers the role that evidence plays in determining a refugee's identity within Canada's refugee adjudication process. Its main contention is that Canada's refugee determination system works within a framework that values legalistic and categorical principles, which ignore the complexity of a refugee's identity. Since Canada's refugee system excludes claimants who do not fit designated categories, it encourages them to modify their identity in order to meet the strict criteria for qualification. This project is based on interviews with individuals involved in the refugee process, including refugee decision-maker(s), community activist(s) and refugee lawyer(s). Using important historical and contextual analysis, this paper demonstrates the restrictive nature of refugee definitions and policies that act as barriers that exclude claimants. Moreover, the role of institutions within the Immigration and Refugee Board also operate to restrict claimants. A case study on the IRB Documentation Centre illustrates how evidence, as the determining factor of identity, is one specific method of restricting claimants.

A avaliação de resposta ao tratamento sistémico no CPNPCm pode ser desafiante, particularmente quando se utiliza imunoterapia, devido à possibilidade de padrões atípicos de resposta. Descrevemos um caso de adenocarcinoma pulmonar metastático sob imunoterapia e quimioterapia com aparente resposta dissociada em nódulo pulmonar, cuja biópsia da lesão não respondedora revelou um diagnóstico histológico diferente do tumor primário. Quando existe discrepância no tipo de resposta ao tratamento sistémico de duas lesões alvo diferentes, é importante ponderar a possibilidade de se tratar de um segundo tumor primário. A confirmação do diagnóstico histopatológico e/ou molecular é crucial para o (re)estadiamento, orientação de tratamento e prognóstico do doente.

Introdução: A mutação EGFR é a mais frequente no Carcinoma do Pulmão de Não Pequenas Células e ocorre principalmente em mulheres e doentes não fumadores. Caso clínico: Apresentamos o caso de uma mulher de 51 anos, ex-fumadora com baixa carga tabágica, diagnosticada com adenocarcinoma do pulmão em 2014, em estadio IB operada e submetida a terapêutica adjuvante. Recidivou após dois anos com doença metastática pulmonar e óssea, com mutação exão 21 do EGFR. Iniciou terapêutica com inibidor da tirosina-cinase (TKI) gefitinib e posteriormente, osimertinib. Manteve terapêutica com TKI durante três anos até progressão clínica. Posteriormente, foram sequenciadas diversas linhas de quimioterapia e imunoterapia (sem alteração do perfil molecular e/ou transformação histológica). Discussão: A resistência aos TKIs é inevitável e nem sempre são conhecidos os seus mecanismos; contudo deve ser considerada a sua manutenção enquanto houver benefício clínico, apesar de progressão imagiológica. Atualmente a quimioterapia é a terapêutica subsequente que é utilizada, mas novos fármacos estão em desenvolvimento para serem utilizados após resistência ao osimertinib.
