SF-DaM: An Efficient Lightweight Approach for Detecting and Mitigating the TCP SYN Flooding Attacks in SDN
Authors: Rabed Ahmed , Abdulrazzaq Fuaad , Al-Mqdashi Abdulmajid , Al-Sanabani Maher
Published: December 2024

Despite of its impressive advantages over the traditional networks, SoftwareDefined Networking (SDN) still encounters many challenges, especially when it comes to network security problems. The SYN flooding attacks is considered as the most effective and widely adopted DDoS mechanism to mount saturation on SDN control plane as well as on the targeted victim end systems. Although various studies have addressed this problem area, their solutions do not solve the issue efficiently due to the complexity and impracticality of their designs or due to the significant overhead and long time required for attack detection and mitigation. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an efficient lightweight security approach called SF-DaM for providing fast and accurate alleviation of the SYN flooding attacks in SDNs. The proposed SF-DaM employs a lightweight but effective mechanism for monitoring the incoming TCP connection requests and validating their legitimacy with low overhead which make it capable of detecting and blocking the sources of malicious requests quickly without sacrificing the benign host traffics. To demonstrate its feasibility and effectiveness, the SF-DaM is fully implemented as an extension module of the SDN POX controller and is evaluated under different conditional scenarios via the Mininet emulator. The experimental results illustrate the out-performance of SF-DaM when compared to the state-of-the-art approaches as it can provide a significant improvement on the attack detection time and benign response time specially under the spoofed attacks scenarios. The results also shows that SF-DaM can significantly reduce the overhead on the controller and its control channels.
Historical Memory in the Media Discourse on the Special Military Operation
Authors:   Saint Petersburg State University, Sidorov Viktor
Published: December 2024

The study examines the issue of actualization of facts of historical memory as a form of media memory in
modern media discourse, and clarifi es its place and role in propaganda, in this case understood as the dissemination of knowledge and the formation of a scientifi c worldview. Media memory is studied through its manifestations in the discourse (de facto offi cial media discourse) about the Special Military Operation on the example
of the program “Vremya” (Channel 1 of television) for the fi rst 10 months of the SMO. The development of a
model of media memory actualization in the context of news is both the goal of the research and determines its
novelty. The methodology applied is complex – both primary and secondary information analysis methods are
used. For this purpose, a content analysis of the “Vremya” program broadcasts is conducted, a focus group is
organized, and an array of sociological data from open sources of VTsIOM is selected. As a result, the data was
obtained, which allowed us to establish that the ways of addressing the facts of the Great Patriotic War memory
in the studied narrative are identical to the known approaches to the organization of media propaganda, that the
creation of historical memory is infl uenced by both objectively acting factors of the media society and subjective
ones – the efforts of political actors to establish in the public consciousness a model of media memory that corresponds to the current political situation: the locus of history, to which the audience’s attention is directed, and
a set of asserted goals are chosen. Thus, the events of the Special Military Operation are perceived through the
prism of the heroic past, they acquire sacredness, and attempts to belittle them look like undermining the value
system of society. The intension is reinforced by the optimism of the general mood of the programs, which tell
about Russia’s successful overcoming of diffi culties in the economic and fi nancial spheres that arose under the
infl uence of Western sanctions.
Axiological Potential of Military Journalist’s Emotional Intelligence in Media Discourse
Authors:   Transbaikal State University, Erofeeva Irina , Mikhaleva Lyudmila ,   Russian New University
Published: December 2024

The relevance of the research is caused by the global cognitive war launched against Russia in the modern
world, which is connected with the military actions in Ukraine. The article presents the linguocultural characteristic of the emotional intelligence of a military journalist covering a special military operation. We emphasize the
conditionality of emotional intelligence by value priorities of a war correspondent. This study aims to identify axiological constants of the military journalist’s emotional intelligence represented in media discourse. The method
we applied involved linguocultural analysis as well as axiological approach and cognitive analysis ‒ decoding the key semantic constructs of the text as a refl ection of the author’s linguistic personality’s intention to interpret
reality, taking into account the national picture of the world. The empirical foundation in the study was media discourse of the online publications Argumenty i Fakty, Komsomolskaya Pravda and Pravda.ru. The fi ndings of the
study are based on more than 250 publications between the years 2022 and 2024 by such journalists as Dmitry
Grigor’ev, Aleksander Kots, Dmitry Steshin, Daria Aslamova, Yulia Andrienko. The emotional intelligence of a
journalist is viewed as the ability to identify one’s own and others’ emotions within the context of comprehending
and interpreting them, managing and applying them in professional activities, considering the national interests
of the country, adhering to traditional values. The results obtained show that in the dominant information fl ow we
can reveal the following values determining the axiological vector of a military journalist’s emotional intelligence:
responsibility for one’s actions, mutual assistance, selfl essness and courage, patriotism and unity with the traditions of the people, love for life and other people (optimism), faith in victory and just retribution. Such values
as honesty and sincerity, empathy and sensitivity, and mercy to the enemy are as well represented, although
not so often. No fundamental gender differences in the axiology of media discourse of women and men war
correspondents were revealed. However, in women’s content artistic and journalistic techniques are more vividly
presented. The prevalence of traditional values in media discourse determines its popularity among consumers
as bearers of historical memory. The prospects of the research include the development of algorithms or technologies for creating a media text with the resources of the national picture of the world.
The Problems of the “Russian Idea” and the “Kosovo Testament” in the Comparative Study of the Works by F. M. Dostoevsky and P. P. Njegosh
Authors:   Pushkin State Russian Language Institute, Gavric Vukasin
Published: December 2024

lassics – F. M. Dostoevsky and P. P. Njegosh; representatives of Russian and Serbian literatures, outstanding
religious writers of the 19th century – becomes especially relevant. The scientifi c novelty is the fact that for the
fi rst time the issue of comparative analysis of the poetics and problems of the works by Dostoevsky and Njegosh
is raised, as well as the fact that the concepts of the “Russian way” and the “Kosovo Testament” at the comparative level have not been the subject of a separate study to date. The purpose of the work is to identify the
connection between the concepts of the “Russian idea” and the “Kosovo Testament”, refl ected in the complex
artistic worlds of Dostoevsky and Njegosh. Particular attention is paid to the problems of comparative historical
literary criticism in modern conditions. An attempt is made to review Russian and foreign scientifi c works on
comparative literary studies – when comparing ontological problems in the works of the analyzed authors. To achieve the goal, an integrated approach is used, which includes a number of classical methods – biographical,
comparative, mythopoetic, and intertextual analysis. Using the biographical method, the author demonstrates
how the concepts of the “Russian idea” and the “Kosovo Testament” arose and developed in the life and work of
the Russian and Serbian authors. With the help of comparative analysis, the problems of faith and reason, conciliarity, and national identity that are of deep interest to both writers are revealed. By means of the mythopoetic
method, the author tried to characterize the concept of the “Kosovo Testament” and display the reasons for its
emergence. We make a conclusion that both writers touch upon gospel themes in their artistic testament. On the
one hand, the novelist Dostoevsky focuses on the issues of redemption of sin, on the other hand, in Njegosh’s
lyrics, personal destiny is intertwined with national destiny, microcosm with macrocosm, and the issues of knowledge of God and the origin of the world are touched upon. Finally, the mutual infl uence of Dostoevsky’s “Russian
idea” and Njegosh’s “Kosovo Testament” contributes to the enrichment of national literatures and the enrichment
of comparative literary discourse.
ntertext and Hypertext as Means of Conveying the Idea of Life-Affi rmation in N. Morshen’s Poem “About the Stars”
Authors:   Transbaikal State University, Romanov Igor
Published: December 2024

The relevance of the article is determined by the identifi ed problem of representing the idea of life-affi rmation by modern artistic means. The idea of rejection of the marginal model of behavior is expressed through
intertext and hypertext. The transformation of the text into hypertext occurs in the process of commentary on
the works of each of the cited authors. Here a special philological space is formed, which is created not only by
texts, but also by “extra-textual structures” that draw the cultural background of the corresponding eras.The purpose of the work is to consider the role of intertext and hypertext in conveying the ontological idea of accepting
life. We suggest a hypothesis that intertext turns into hypertext. With a centripetal vector, the cited quotations
work on the main idea of rejection of death “called upon” oneself; with a centrifugal vector, each quotation sends
the researcher into a potentially infi nite, branching space associated with the cultural and historical features of
the eras. The novelty of the study lies in such an interpretation of N. Morshen’s poem. N. Morshen’s text, like a musical theme with variations, emphasizes the idea of affi rming life through the quotations used. The cultural-historical method involves examining the cited works in the context of the ideological positions of the 18th,
19th and 20th centuries. The biographical method is determined by the connection between the tragic fate of the
authors and their literary works. The intertextual method allows us to consider the role of quotations in increasing the life-affi rming meaning in the core text. The hermeneutic approach is necessary due to the fact that N.
Morshen’s text represents a system in which the whole (a poem with quotations) depends on the parts (quotes
illustrating the main idea), and the parts (quotes) confi rm what is expressed in the entire work. Such dialectical
unity characterizes the hermeneutic circle. N. Morshen’s poem “About the Stars”, being an obvious intertext, can,
through comments, unfold into a hypertext, multi-vector, united by the idea of a harmonious perception of life
and overcoming death. The prospects for research are seen in the use of hypertext strategy when considering
other problems of an existential nature: freedom, responsibility, loneliness, posed in the works of different writers.

Published: December 2024

This article presents the results of a  research study into the dynamics of mammal populations in the Nizhnesvirsky Nature Reserve during the 2014–2024 period. The research was conducted using the authors’ field observations and archival data. The influence of a number of factors, i.e., snow cover depth and spruce and pine cone yield, on the mammal populations in the area under study is analyzed. A weak snow cover was shown to be favorable for maintaining high numbers of wild boar populations, while a thicker show cover was more favorable for predators (wolves). The weather conditions favorable for harvest of spruce and pine cones was found to have a positive effect on both herbivores and predators. In the dynamics of relationships between predators and their prey, regular interrelated fluctuations in population numbers are observed.

THE ACUTE EFFECT OF PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION ON CERVICAL RANGE OF MOTION, STRENGTH, AND PROPRIOCEPTION
Authors: Aljallad Mohammad , Günday Çiçek , Badıllı Hantal Feyza Şule
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This double-blind randomized controlled study aimed to investigate the acute influence of two different proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) exercise, targeting stretching and strengthening, on cervical proprioception, range of motion (ROM) and strength among healthy university students.
Methods: Healthy subjects were randomly divided into three groups as PNF stretching (PNFS) (n=36), resistive PNF pattern (PNFP) (n=35), and control group (CG) (n=33) which received only passive range of motion (ROM) exercises without causing any stretch. All participants were assessed in terms of cervical proprioception, ROM and muscle strength before and after one intervention session.
Results: Within-group analysis of the PNFS group showed a significant difference only in extension proprioception and right rotation ROM (p≤0.05) while the PNFP group showed a significant difference in extension, right rotation, right and left lateral flexion proprioception; extension and right rotation ROM, and right and left rotation muscle strength (p≤0.05). For the CG, the within-group analysis showed a significant difference in flexion, extension, right rotation and right lateral flexion proprioception, extension, and left and right lateral flexion ROM (p≤0.05). Between-group analysis showed a significant difference only in cervical flexion proprioception (p=0.023) for PNFP over the CG.
Conclusion: Although a lack of significant difference found in the between-group analysis, the within-group analysis showed that PNF patterns applied with resistance may be a promising technique to improve cervical proprioception, muscle strength and ROM.
The impact of rainfall value on the accuracy of the SCS-CN model: selection of model parameters
Authors: Sun Qiang , Liu Jiahao
Published: December 2024

The soil conservation service curve number (SCS-CN) model is a widely utilized tool for estimating runoff and relies on two empirical parameters: the CN and the ratio of initial abstraction to maximum potential retention (λ). The determination of the parameters is via the empirical method or calculations based on actual data. However, few studies address the effect of rainfall on parameter selection, and collecting runoff data for model analysis is challenging. This study, taking the Nemor River Basin as the research region, investigates how the combination of CN and λ impacts the model in different rainfall conditions. Using runoff plots and reanalysis product data, the study reveals that: (1) the calculated methods outperformed the empirical method, increasing the Nash Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient from 0.34 to 0.65. (2) A higher λ value (0.2 compared to 0.02) reduces runoff and smoothes the runoff curve, which becomes less obvious with increasing CN. (3) The CN values exhibit a non-monotonic relationship with rainfall, initially decreasing before rising, highlighting the need to adjust the CN based on rainfall. Moreover, the SCS-CN model's performance with reanalysis data approximates that with actual data, confirming the viability of reanalysis datasets in this region.

Published: December 2024

To promote sustainable development, evaluating the carrying capacity of soil and water resources has become indispensable. This study establishes an evaluation system using the driving force–pressure–state–impact–response framework and employs the entropy weight cloud model to comprehensively assess the water and soil resource capacity of Lanzhou. Additionally, the CA–Markov model and the gray prediction model were deployed to forecast Lanzhou's future water and soil resource capacity. The evaluation from 2010 to 2022 indicates consistent classification at overloaded or severely overloaded levels, highlighting systemic inefficiency in water and soil resource utilization, which poses a significant obstacle to sustainability. Notably, urbanization rate, water productivity coefficient, and per capita water resources were identified as key factors influencing these results. Based on the forecast for the next 5 years (2023–2027), the water and soil resource capacity of Lanzhou is expected to further decline, posing challenges to sustainable development. This study provides technical support and decision-making guidance for the formulation of Lanzhou's water and soil resource management strategies and sustainable development planning, playing a key role in promoting efficient resource utilization and protecting regional water and soil resources.
An Updated Review Deciphering Apigenin Nanostructures as Promising Therapeutic Efficiency in Human Carcinomas
Authors: Khan Fahad , Alam Mir Waqas , Ramniwas Seema , Rautela Indra , Lakhanpal Sorabh , Pandey Pratibha
Published: December 2024

Apigenin (APG) is being investigated for its potential in treating different
forms of cancer. It can regulate many cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis,
cell cycle arrest, invasion, metastasis, and autophagy, via controlling multiple cellular
signaling pathways. In addition, this chemical demonstrates a significant preference
for cancer cells over healthy cells. This is a crucial factor when compared to other
treatments for cancer. However, apigenin is distinguished by its limited ability to dissolve
in water, sluggish absorption when taken orally, rapid metabolism, and strong
affinity for binding to plasma proteins. Therefore, oral dosing generally results in low
plasma concentrations. Nanotechnology is being developed to address the constraints of
pharmacokinetics and physicochemical properties. It offers a precise and regulated
method for delivering drugs, enhancing oral absorption, improving their solubility in water,
and reducing side effects. The mechanism of action of apigenin has persuaded the
scientific community to acknowledge it as an anticancer drug, hence supporting the utility
of apigenin nano formulations as a contemporary therapeutic tool. Nonetheless, diverse
nanocarriers for apigenin have effectively addressed inadequate water solubility
and non-specificity towards target tissues. This review summarizes diverse biological aspects
of apigenin and elaborates on the issues associated with using apigenin nanocarriers
to enhance its efficacy in human carcinomas. Subsequent in vivo tests showed its capacity
to decrease tumor size, prompting further experimentation with human subjects.

Designing a Smartphone-Based Virtual Reality App for Relaxation: Qualitative Crossover Study
Authors: Verstegen Amandine , Van Daele Tom , Bonroy Bert , Debard Glen , Sels Romy , van Loo Marlon , Bernaerts Sylvie
Published: December 2024

Background

Accumulating evidence supports the use of virtual reality (VR) in mental health care, with one potential application being its use to assist individuals with relaxation exercises. Despite studies finding support for the potential of VR to effectively aid in relaxation, its implementation remains limited outside of specialized clinics. Known barriers are insufficient knowledge regarding VR operation, lack of availability of VR relaxation apps tailored to local health care systems, and cost concerns. Unfortunately, many VR relaxation apps are designed exclusively for stand-alone headsets, limiting accessibility for a broad audience.

Objective

We aimed to design an accessible, smartphone-based VR relaxation app based on user preferences. This paper describes the assessment of 2 stand-alone VR relaxation apps and the resulting smartphone-based VR relaxation app design.

Methods

Overall, 30 participants (n=23, 77% women; n=7, 23% men) took part in 2 separate VR sessions, assessing 1 of the 2 VR relaxation apps (Flowborne and Calm Place) in each session. After each session, participants were presented with open-ended questions to assess their experiences via a web-based survey tool. These questions explored positive and negative features, shortcomings, and suggestions for improvements while also allowing space for additional remarks concerning the 2 VR relaxation apps. Three of the authors analyzed the responses using inductive thematic analysis, a process comprising 6 phases.

Results

Across both the apps, 5 recurring themes and 13 recurring subthemes were identified in the participants’ answers: audio (music and sounds, guidance), visuals (content, realism, variation and dynamics in the environment), features (language, options, feedback and instructions, duration, exercise), implementation (technical aspects, cybersickness, acceptability and usability), and experience. We analyzed the participants’ findings and conducted a literature review, which served as the basis for developing the app. The resulting app is a Dutch-language, smartphone-based VR relaxation app, with customization options including 3 types of relaxation exercises, 2 guiding voices, and 3 different environments. Efforts have been made to ensure maximum variation and dynamism in the environments. Calming music and nature sounds accompany the exercises. The efficacy and effectiveness of the resulting app design were not assessed.

Conclusions

This study provides insights into key features of VR relaxation apps, which were subsequently used for the development of a novel smartphone-based VR relaxation app. Further research concerning the effectiveness of this app, along with a broader evaluation of the efficacy and user feedback for smartphone-based VR relaxation apps, is needed. More generally, there is a clear need for more research on the impact of interactivity, biofeedback, and type of environment in VR relaxation.
Effect of a Feedback Visit and a Clinical Decision Support System Based on Antibiotic Prescription Audit in Primary Care: Multiarm Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Jeanmougin Pauline , Larramendy Stéphanie , Fournier Jean-Pascal , Gaultier Aurélie , Rat Cédric
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

While numerous antimicrobial stewardship programs aim to decrease inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions, evidence of their positive impact is needed to optimize future interventions.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate 2 multifaceted antibiotic stewardship interventions for inappropriate systemic antibiotic prescription in primary care.

METHODS

An open-label, cluster-randomized controlled trial of 2501 general practitioners (GPs) working in western France was conducted from July 2019 to January 2021. Two interventions were studied: the standard intervention, consisting of a visit by a health insurance representative who gave prescription feedback and provided a leaflet for treating cystitis and tonsillitis; and a clinical decision support system (CDSS)–based intervention, consisting of a visit with prescription feedback and a CDSS demonstration on antibiotic prescribing. The control group received no intervention. Data on systemic antibiotic dispensing was obtained from the National Health Insurance System (Système National d’Information Inter-Régimes de l’Assurance Maladie) database. The overall antibiotic volume dispensed per GP at 12 months was compared between arms using a 2-level hierarchical analysis of covariance adjusted for annual antibiotic prescription volume at baseline.

RESULTS

Overall, 2501 GPs were randomized (n=1099, 43.9% women). At 12 months, the mean volume of systemic antibiotics per GP decreased by 219.2 (SD 61.4; 95% CI −339.5 to −98.8; P<.001) defined daily doses in the CDSS-based visit group compared with the control group. The decrease in the mean volume of systemic antibiotics dispensed per GP was not significantly different between the standard visit group and the control group (−109.7, SD 62.4; 95% CI −232.0 to 12.5 defined daily doses; P=.08).

CONCLUSIONS

A visit by a health insurance representative combining feedback and a CDSS demonstration resulted in a 4.4% (-219.2/4930) reduction in the total volume of systemic antibiotic prescriptions in 12 months.

Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on Knowledge and Attitude of Nursing Students Regarding Vaccination and Vaccine Hesitancy in China (Preprint)
Authors: Li Li , Zhang Chengyun , Han Bao , Wang Hui , Li Xinyang , Qiao Changxiu
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted public health, highlighting the critical role of vaccination in mitigating its effects. However, acceptance rates for the COVID-19 vaccine vary across different countries and demographic groups. As future healthcare leaders, nursing students possess the potential to influence vaccination attitudes and uptake among the broader population through their own knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to receive the vaccine. Despite this important role, there is a notable scarcity of research specifically examining vaccine acceptance among nursing students, underscoring the need for further studies in this area to inform public health strategies.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on vaccine acceptance among nursing students, focusing on their knowledge and attitudes towards vaccination and vaccine hesitancy.

METHODS

A total of 1,013 nursing students (544 freshmen and 469 seniors) from Binzhou Medical University, Shandong Second Medical University, and Shandong First Medical University were enrolled during the 2024 academic year. This cross-sectional study used a self-reported questionnaire, and descriptive statistics were applied to illustrate trends in the data. A Chi-square test was conducted to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on knowledge acquisition, attitudes, and vaccine hesitancy among nursing students.

RESULTS

Senior nursing students demonstrated a stronger knowledge of vaccines and maintained overall positive attitudes compared to freshman. The medical immunology course was the primary source of their vaccine knowledge. Most nursing students were aware of the significant debate and misinformation surrounding vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, the pandemic heightened their interest in immunology while also contributing to increased vaccine hesitancy. Key factors in overcoming this hesitancy included the safety and necessity of vaccination, as well as confidence in government policies and recommendations from medical experts. Medical education played a vital role in enhancing their ability to identify misinformation about vaccines.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall, this study indicates that senior nursing students have a strong understanding of vaccines and maintain positive attitudes toward them, underscoring the importance of medical education. The COVID-19 pandemic has positively influenced learning motivation while negatively affecting vaccine hesitancy. Comprehensive medical education could further boost vaccine confidence and acceptance among nursing students.
Heralded Optical Entanglement Generation via the Graph Picture of Linear Quantum Networks

Non-destructive heralded entanglement with photons is a valuable resource for quantum information processing. However, they generally entail ancillary particles and modes that amplify the circuit intricacy. To address this challenge, a recent work \cite{chin2024shortcut} introduced a graph approach for creating multipartite entanglements with boson subtractions. Nonetheless, it remains an essential intermediate step toward practical heralded schemes: the proposition of heralded subtraction operators in bosonic linear quantum networks. This research establishes comprehensive translation rules from subtraction operators to linear optical operators, which provides a seamless path to design heralded schemes with single photons. Our method begets enhanced or previously unreported schemes for the N-partite GHZ state with 2N photons, N-partite W state with 2N+1 photons and superposition of N=3 GHZ and W states with 9 photons. Our streamlined approach can straightforwardly design heralded schemes for multipartite entangled states by assembling the operators according to the guidence of sculpting bigraphs, hence significantly simplifies the quantum circuit design process.

Os dentes supranumerários são descritos como uma espécie de anomalia dentária, determinada pela formação de dentes além daqueles pertencentes à dentição convencional, que geralmente promovem complicações na cavidade oral. Diversos fatores etiológicos podem estar relacionados e de acordo com sua localização, são classificados em mesiodens, distomolar e paramolar. O presente estudo tem como objetivo apresentar e descrever a exodontia de um elemento supranumerário paramolar em região de maxila, bem como a remoção cirúrgica do primeiro molar com destruição coronária em região subjacente, através de um relato de caso. Paciente E.M.J., sexo feminino, 38 anos de idade, ASA 1, procurou atendimento odontológico devido à queixa principal de dor em região do 1° molar superior esquerdo. Ao exame físico e radiográfico, foi observada grande destruição coronária do elemento 26 associado a uma fístula intraoral, além da presença de dente supranumerário paramolar na região vestibular do dente 26. O tratamento preconizado foi a remoção cirúrgica de ambos elementos e a paciente evoluiu sem intercorrências no pós-operatório. Desta maneira, pode-se concluir que a remoção cirúrgica de dente supranumerário paramolar e de unidade dentária com grande destruição coronária por lesão cariosa, mostrou-se uma alternativa segura e eficaz no presente caso.

PRINCIPAIS DIFICULDADES ENFRENTADAS POR CIRURGIÕES-DENTISTAS NO ATENDIMENTO DOMICILIAR NA ESTRATÉGIA SAÚDE DA FAMÍLIA
Authors: Viana Kerolayne da Conceição
Published: December 2024

O objetivo da pesquisa foi apresentar uma revisão narrativa de literatura sobre as principais dificuldades enfrentadas por cirurgiões-dentistas no atendimento domiciliar na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). Realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico com base nos bancos de dados eletrônicos (Google Acadêmico, SCIELO, BVS), com captação de documentos do Ministério da Saúde e artigos de língua inglesa e portuguesa, nos anos de 2000 a 2021. Elegeu-se 21 artigos que apresentaram o objeto de estudo com visão crítica. Foi realizada pesquisa e descrição sobre a Estratégia Saúde da Família, sobre o atendimento domiciliar e também sobre os profissionais de saúde bucal que participam do atendimento domiciliar na Estratégia Saúde da Família. O atendimento domiciliar é usado pela equipe da Estratégia Saúde da Família com foco nos usuários que não se deslocam até a Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) por motivos físicos, mentais e/ou sociais. Após o acréscimo da Equipe de Saúde Bucal (ESB) na Estratégia Saúde da Família, os mesmos também passaram a realizar atendimentos domiciliares. Os principais afazeres realizados pela equipe em domicílio são com foco na promoção, prevenção e tratamento. Contudo os cirurgiões-dentistas enfrentam dificuldades que atrapalham os atendimentos domiciliares, podendo-se citar: vias urbanas precária; violência; tráfico de drogas; falta de transporte; demanda de equipamentos e instrumentai; biossegurança e ergonomia que são difíceis alcançar em domicílio.

Published: December 2024

Objetivos: Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar o panorama geral de evidências científicas relevantes existentes sobre a anquiloglossia em âmbito odontológico. Métodos: Foram selecionados artigos científicos publicados em português e inglês, disponíveis no portal eletrônico PubMed e nos repositórios do SciELO e do Google Acadêmico, tendo sido incluídos artigos sem limite de data para publicação, utilizando os descritores: “Anquiloglossia”, “Diagnóstico” e “Terapêutica”. Resultados: A anquiloglossia é uma anomalia oral congênita caracterizada por freio lingual muito curto, que ocasiona graus variáveis de diminuição da mobilidade lingual, podendo ser parcial ou total. Sua etiologia é multifatorial, supondo-se um componente hereditário e/ou uma caracterização da permanência de tecido residual nessa região. O diagnóstico da anquiloglossia não é padronizado, mas, no Brasil é obrigatório a realização do Teste da Linguinha em todas as maternidades, visando o diagnóstico precoce dessa condição em recém-nascidos. A terapêutica, quando necessária, é através de intervenções cirúrgicas como: frenotomia, frenectomia e da técnica cirúrgica com laser diodo de alta potência. Conclusões: A anquiloglossia é caracterizada por freio lingual muito curto capaz de com diminuição da mobilidade lingual. Sua etiologia é multifatorial e ainda em partes desconhecida. O diagnóstico da anquiloglossia não é padronizado, mas se baseia em inspeções orais. A terapêutica dessa condição pode ser não-cirúrgica ou cirúrgica, dependendo de cada caso.

A REFORMA DO ENSINO MÉDIO PAULISTA E O APARTHEID SOCIAL E EDUCACIONAL
Authors: Alencar Felipe
Published: December 2024

Parte-se do referencial gramsciano de escola unitária para análise da reforma do ensino médio na rede estadual de São Paulo, por meio do programa Inova Educação, componente de todos os itinerários formativos do Novo Ensino Médio. Com base em documentos, indicadores educacionais e da força de trabalho, discursos de agentes privados formuladores do programa e entrevistas com educadores discute-se que a reforma, no contexto de austeridade e informalidade do trabalho, institucionaliza o apartheid social e educacional ao destituir conhecimentos da formação escolar visando ao trabalho subalterno.

Published: December 2024

Partindo da importância que as subjetividades assumem na experiência laboral, este artigo analisa as experiências e percepções de jovens entregadores em plataformas digitais de delivery que atuam na modalidade de ciclista, na cidade de São Paulo. A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo, entrevistou 12 entregadores entre os anos de 2020 e 2023. Os dados evidenciam que há uma percepção positivada na possibilidade de organizar o próprio horário de trabalho e na ausência de uma liderança hierárquica formal, ao mesmo tempo, há um reconhecimento de que essa suposta autonomia também produz precariedade.
