Authors: Gomes Raphael Haidar
Published: May 2023

No dia 10 de dezembro de 1948, criada pela Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas, a Declaração Universal de Direitos Humanos se caracterizou como um dos principais marcos históricos no que se refere a valorização da dignidade da pessoa humana, logo, o presente estudo científico tem como principal objetivo demonstrar como tal documento vem sendo utilizado até a presente data como um molde de convivência coletivo pela sociedade, assim como prisma estrutural da Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil de 1988, inclusive de normas internas infraconstitucionais também. A importância vital dos Direitos Humanos como fonte normativa restará demonstrada por meio das normas contidas no ordenamento jurídico nacional, bem como mediante o apontamento de diversas doutrinas de ciências jurídicas que tratam da matéria em questão. Finalizar-se-á o artigo demonstrando a presença da Declaração Universal de Direitos Humanos no mundo fático e explicitamente presente no espectro normativo brasileiro.
meta 6.1 da Agenda 2030 da ONU frente ao direito fundamental de acesso à água potável no Brasil
Authors: Santos Luan Gaspar , Silva Deise Marcelino da
Published: May 2023

O estudo parte do entendimento de que o acesso à água potável e ao saneamento básico são direitos humanos fundamentais. As metas 6.1 e 6.4 do ODS 6 da ONU exortam aos Estados-membros o compromisso de, até 2030, alcançar o acesso universal e equitativo à água potável e segura para todos. O presente texto pretende abordar a aplicabilidade da meta 6.1 frente ao direito fundamental de acesso à água potável, considerando o caráter normativo vinculante da Agenda 2030 no Brasil. A pesquisa enfrenta o fato de o direito fundamental de acesso à água potável não estar expresso na Constituição brasileira. Nesse cenário, surge o debate: o status constitucional formal do direito à água reflete na concretude da meta 6.1 do ODS 6? Adotou-se o método teórico-dedutivo, com a utilização de livros temáticos, impressos e digitais, além de artigos científicos e da legislação. A principal contribuição do presente estudo consiste em afirmar que o direito brasileiro possui fundamentos e ferramentas para que os poderes públicos garantam o alcance à água limpa com vistas ao cumprimento do ODS 6. Outrossim, não deixa de ter expressão jurídico-social (benefícios) a constitucionalização do direito fundamental à água potável.
manejo do princípio da solidariedade e o direito à moradia para além do pacto social
Authors: La-Flor Martiane Jaques , Calgaro Cleide
Published: May 2023

O direito à moradia e o princípio da solidariedade são previsões constitucionais que integram o princípio angular da dignidade da vida humana. Essa construção social enlaça diferentes áreas, sendo o Direito Ambiental uma das principais que regem conflitos originados da sobrecarga das cidades urbanas em decorrência do êxodo rural crescente. O propósito deste artigo é analisar o direito à moradia frente ao princípio da solidariedade, sob o marco teórico do pacto ambiental, de Michel Serres, em face ao pacto social. Identifica-se como problema a vulnerabilidade social que é posta a coletividade devido à priorização da propriedade privada sem o investimento em moradia sustentável. Lê-se que o pacto social prevalece ao ambiental quando o instituto da Regularização Urbana (Reurb), Lei nº 13.464/2017, prioriza o direito à moradia/propriedade, quando deveria, na realidade, haver investimento no pacto ambiental, em conformidade com o propósito da legislação. O método utilizado é o dedutivo e o artigo se estrutura em dois tópicos principais, o primeiro sobre o Reurb e o direito à moradia, e o segundo é a problematização sobre a adequação da lei ao princípio da solidariedade em consonância com o pacto ambiental de Serres.
Constituição e processo penal
Authors: Gomes Acir de Matos , Rêgo Carolina Noura de Moraes
Published: May 2023

Neste artigo, por meio do método bibliográfico e descritivo, com consultas em obras relativas ao tema, temos como objetivo apresentar reflexões sobre a interligação entre o sistema penal acusatório e os princípios constitucionais do devido processo legal, do contraditório e da ampla defesa. Os sistemas processuais penais e os princípios processuais penais com ênfase na Constituição Federal garantem o Estado Democrático de Direitos no qual o sujeito, acusado de cometer um ilícito penal, tem o direito de ser julgado com garantias constitucionais que validam a aplicação da pena e todo o processo. A vigência de um sistema penal acusatório sem resquícios do inquisitório, como nos parece adequado em razão do Estado Democrático e Social de Direito, do Estado Constitucional, encontra resistência por parcela significativa do Poder Judiciário, mesmo diante da previsão no texto constitucional e no infraconstitucional de normas e de princípios relacionados ao direito de defesa ao devido processo legal e das garantias da execução da pena, igualmente indispensável a uma perfeita tutela dos direitos individuais (art. 5.º, LIII a LXVIII e XLVIII a L) e, sobretudo, da imparcialidade do magistrado e da separação das funções: acusação, defesa e julgamento.

O Brasil, segundo consumidor de cocaína do planeta, é uma importante plataforma de exportação de drogas para a Europa e outros continentes. Parte dessa droga entra pelas fronteiras com Bolívia e Paraguai. Na última década, o governo brasileiro tem implantado políticas de segurança e defesa, mas tais políticas têm encontrado um obstáculo no cenário de pauperização existente nos três países e em razão de o Paraguai ser o maior produtor de maconha da América do Sul e a Bolívia ser um dos três maiores produtores de folha de coca. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho objetiva aferir o histórico das políticas de combate às drogas e seus impactos nas fronteiras do Brasil com Paraguai e Bolívia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, pautada em análise bibliográfica, sob a ótica da Geografia Política.

Application Security Self-Efficacy of Software Developers: A Correlational Study
Authors: Umeugo Wisdom
Published: May 2023

Practicing the secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) requires a team of application security experts and a proper management structure. Software developers usually lack application security expertise but are often responsible for software security when management undervalues software security, or the SSDLC is too expensive to practice. Software developers must have adequate application security self-efficacy (SE) to execute software security activities and processes effectively. To improve software developers’ SE, the factors that impact their SE must be identified. A sample of 200 software developers based in the United States was surveyed for their SE. The relationship between the factors and SE was analyzed using Spearman’s rho correlation. Application security awareness, the presence of an application security team, and education level all correlated with software developers’ SE. Security training and performing multiple application securities did not correlate with software developers’ SE. The results have practical implications for improving software security.

Published: May 2023

Events are the core element of information in descriptive corpus. Although many progresses have beenmade in Event Detection (ED), it is still a challenge in Natural Language Processing (NLP) to detect event information from data with unavoidable noisy labels. A robust Joint-training Graph ConvolutionNetworks (JT-GCN) model is proposed to meet the challenge of ED tasks with noisy labels in this paper. Specifically, we first employ two Graph Convolution Networks with Edge Enhancement (EE-GCN) tomake predictions simultaneously. A joint loss combining the detection loss and the contrast loss fromtwonetworks is then calculated for training. Meanwhile, a small-loss selection mechanism is introduced tomitigate the impact of mislabeled samples in networks training process. These two networks gradually reach an agreement on the ED tasks as joint-training progresses. Corrupted data with label noise are generated from the benchmark dataset ACE2005. Experiments on ED tasks has been conducted with bothsymmetry and asymmetry label noise on dif erent level. The experimental results show that the proposedmodel is robust to the impact of label noise and superior to the state-of-the-art models for EDtasks.
Introducing a new floodplain scheme in ORCHIDEE (version 7885): validation and evaluation over the Pantanal wetlands
Authors: Schrapffer Anthony , Polcher Jan , Sörensson Anna , Fita Lluís
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Adapting and improving the hydrological processes in Land Surface Models is crucial given the increase of the resolution of the Climate Models to correctly represent the hydrological cycle. The present paper introduces a floodplains scheme adapted to the higher resolution river routing of the ORCHIDEE Land Surface Model. The scheme is based on a sub-tile parameterization of the hydrological units, Hydrological Transfer Unit concept (HTUs), based on high resolution hydrologically-coherent Digital Elevation Models which can be used for all types of resolutions and projections. The floodplain scheme was developed and evaluated for different atmospheric forcings and resolutions (0.5° and 25 km) over one of the world’s largest floodplains: the Pantanal, located in Central South America. The floodplains scheme is validated based on the river discharge at the outflow of the Pantanal which represents the hydrological cycle over the basin, the temporal evolution of the water mass over the region assessed by the anomaly of Total Water Storage in Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) and the temporal evaluation of the flooded areas compared to the Global Inundation Extent from Multi-Satellites dataset (GIEMS-2). The hydrological cycle is satisfactorily simulated, however, the base flow may be underestimated. The temporal evolution flooded area is coherent with the observations although the size of the is underestimated in comparison to GIEMS-2. The presence of floodplains increases the soil moisture up to 50 % and decreases average temperature with 3 °C and with 6 °C during the dry season. The higher soil moisture increases the vegetation density and, along with the presence of open water surfaces due to the floodplains, it affects the surface energy budget by increasing the latent flux at the expense of the sensible flux. This is linked to the increase of the evapotranspiration related to the increased water availability. The effect of the floodplains scheme on the land surface conditions highlights that coupled simulations using the floodplains scheme may influence local and regional precipitation and regional circulation.
ENSO Modulation of the QBO Periods in GISS E2.2 Models

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Observational studies have shown that the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) exerts an influence on the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO). The downward propagation of the QBO tends to speed up and slow down during El Niño and La Niña, respectively. Recent results from general circulation models have indicated that the ENSO modulation of the QBO requires a relatively high horizontal resolution, and that it does not show up in the climate models with parameterized but temporally constant gravity wave sources. Here, we demonstrate that the NASA GISS E2.2 models can capture the observed ENSO modulation of the QBO period with a horizontal resolution of 2° latitude by 2.5° longitude and its gravity wave sources parameterized interactively. This is because El Niño events lead to more vigorous gravity wave sources generating more absolute momentum fluxes over the equatorial belt, as well as less filtering of these waves into the tropical lower stratosphere through a weakening of the Walker circulation. Various components of the ENSO system such as the SSTs, the convective activities, and the Walker circulation are intimately involved in the generation and propagation of parameterized gravity waves, through which ENSO modulates the QBO period in GISS E2.2 models.
Acylperoxy radicals during ozonolysis of α-pinene: composition, formation mechanism, and contribution to the production of highly oxygenated organic molecules
Authors: Zang Han , Huang Dandan , Zhong Jiali , Li Ziyue , Li Chenxi , Xiao Huayun , Zhao Yue
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Acylperoxy radicals (RO2) are key intermediates in atmospheric oxidation of organic compounds and different from the general alkyl RO2 radicals in reactivity. However, direct probing of the molecular identities and chemistry of acyl RO2 remains quite limited. Here, we report a combined experimental and kinetic modelling study of the composition and formation mechanisms of acyl RO2, as well as their contributions to the formation of highly oxygenated organic molecules (HOMs) during ozonolysis of α-pinene. We find that acyl RO2 radicals account for 67 %, 94 %, and 32 % of the highly oxygenated C7, C8, and C9 RO2, respectively, but only a few percent of C10 RO2. The formation pathway of acyl RO2 species depends on their oxygenation level. The highly oxygenated acyl RO2 (oxygen atom number ≥ 6) are mainly formed by the intramolecular aldehydic H-shift (i.e., autoxidation) of RO2, while the less oxygenated acyl RO2 (oxygen atom number < 6) are basically derived from the C-C bond cleavage of alkoxy (RO) radicals containing an α-ketone group or the intramolecular H-shift of RO containing an aldehyde group. The acyl RO2-involved reactions explain 50–90 % of C7 and C8 closed-shell HOMs and 14 % of C10 HOMs, respectively. For C9 HOMs, this contribution can be up to 30 %–60 %. In addition, acyl RO2 contribute to 50 %–95 % of C14–C18 HOM dimer formation. Because of the generally fast reaction kinetics of acyl RO2, the acyl RO2 + alkyl RO2 reactions seem to outcompete the alkyl RO2 + alkyl RO2 pathways, thereby affecting the fate of alkyl RO2 and HOM formation. Our study sheds lights on the detailed formation pathways of the monoterpene-derived acyl RO2 and their contributions to HOM formation, which will help to understand the oxidation chemistry of monoterpenes and sources of low-volatility organic compounds capable of driving particle formation and growth in the atmosphere.

Abstract. In this technical note, we introduce a web-based application, the soil knowledge library (KLIB), for the compilation and classification of scientific publications on soil process research according to the specific site conditions and experimental boundary conditions. The tool was developed based on the understanding that experimental findings in soil science are highly dependent on soil type, land use and climate. The KLIB, therefore, goes beyond other available digital libraries by providing meta-data on the site conditions and experimental settings for each publication. A number of visualization tools have been developed to explore the contents of the literature database very efficiently in order to support and facilitate the literature search efforts of the users. The KLIB is designed as a collaborative effort to encourage soil scientists to participate by entering their own studies and extending the existing database.
Revealing the relation between spatial patterns of rainfall return levels and landslide density
Authors: Mtibaa Slim , Tsunetaka Haruka
Published: May 2023

Abstract. It is known that the spatial rainfall pattern can mark landslide distribution across the landscape during extreme triggering events. However, the current knowledge of rainfall controls on this distribution remains limited. Here, to reveal what rainfall characteristics control landslide spatial distribution, we explore the spatiotemporal pattern of a rainfall event that triggered over 7500 landslides (area ≈ 100–104 m2) at a regional scale with an area of ≈400 km2 in Japan. Using a 5 km resolution radar-driven and gauge-adjusted hourly precipitation dataset with 32 years of records, we compared rainfall return levels for various time ranges from 1 to 72 h and landslide density in each grid cell of the precipitation dataset (≈25 km2). The results show that, even if local slope distributions within the grid cells are comparable, the number of landslides in a ≈25 km2 grid cell was substantially high when rainfall return levels exceeded the 100-year return period in all examined timespans (i.e., 1–72 h). In contrast, when only specific-duration rainfall intensities (e.g., 6–48 h) exceeded the 100-year return level, the landslide density in corresponding grid cells tended to be low. Consequently, the landslide density increased with the increase in rainfall return levels of various timespans rather than a specific rainfall intensity, such as downpours for a few hours or long-term cumulative rainfall for several days. Moreover, with the increase in the landslide density, the number of relatively large landslides exceeding ≈400 m2 increased. Therefore, the spatial differences in rainfall return levels potentially constrain the density of total landsliding and relatively large landslides. In this sense, whether rainfall intensities reach high return levels rarely experienced in a wide timespan ranging from a few hours to several days is one of the key
determinants of the spatial distribution of landslides and the extent of
related hazards.

Abstract. Poor representations of aerosols, clouds and aerosol-cloud interactions (ACI) in Earth System Models (ESMs) have long been the largest uncertainties in predicting global climate change. Huge efforts have been made to improve the representation of these processes in ESMs, and key to these efforts is evaluation of ESM simulations with observations. Most well-established ESM diagnostics packages focus on the climatological features; however, they are lack of the process-level understanding and representations of aerosols, clouds, and ACI. In this study, we developed an ESM aerosol-cloud diagnostics package (ESMAC Diags) to facilitate routine evaluation of aerosols, clouds and aerosol-cloud interactions simulated by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM). This paper documents its version 2 functionality (ESMAC Diags v2), which has substantial updates from its version 1 (Tang et al., 2022a). The simulated aerosol and cloud properties have been extensively compared with in-situ and remote-sensing measurements from aircraft, ship, surface and satellite platforms in ESMAC Diags v2. It currently includes six field campaigns and two permanent sites covering four geographical regions: Eastern North Atlantic, Central U.S., Northeastern Pacific and Southern Ocean, where frequent liquid or mixed-phase clouds are present and extensive measurements are available from the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility and other agencies. ESMAC Diags v2 generates various types of single-variable and multi-variable diagnostics, including percentiles, histograms, joint histograms and heatmaps, to evaluate model representation of aerosols, clouds, and aerosol-cloud interactions. Select examples highlighting ESMAC Diags capabilities are shown using E3SM version 2 (E3SMv2). E3SMv2 in general can reasonably reproduces many observed aerosol and cloud properties, with biases in some variables such as aerosol particle and cloud droplet sizes and number concentrations. The coupling of aerosol and cloud number concentrations may be too strong in E3SMv2, possibly indicating a bias in processes that control aerosol activation. Furthermore, the liquid water path adjustment to perturbed cloud droplet number concentration behaves differently in E3SMv2 and observations, which warrants a further study to improve the cloud microphysics parameterizations in E3SMv2.
Morphological characteristics and conditions of drainage basins contributing to the formation of debris flow fans: examination of regions with different rock strength using decision tree analysis
Authors: Koshimizu Ken'ichi , Ishimaru Satoshi , Imaizumi Fumitoshi , Kawakami Gentaro
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Debris flows cause severe disasters, such as human damage and the collapse of houses. Establishment of the early warning systems in the basins with high debris flow risks is needed to reduce debris flow disasters. Because debris flows often form debris flow fans near the mouths of valleys, debris flow fans are regarded as important topographical elements that indicate the occurrence of debris flows. The presence or absence of a debris flow fan makes it possible to clarify the morphological conditions of the contributing area that has generated debris flows. These morphological conditions may depend on the rock strength, which controls weathering activity and grain size of sediments. In this study, we investigated the morphological conditions of a drainage basin that contribute to the formation of debris flow fans using decision tree analysis. The analysis was conducted at two sites with clearly differences in rock strength due to geological sedimentation processes: Neogene sedimentary rocks and Paleogene accretionary prism sites. As a result of decision tree analysis using data sets of total 158 basins, the thresholds of morphological parameters needed for forming debris flow fans differed depending on the geological features. In the Paleogene accretionary prism site, when the relief ratio was less than 0.29, coarse-grained sediments were less likely to pass out from the valley, resulting in the absence of debris flow fans. On the other hand, in Neogene sedimentary rocks sites, short basins were determined to form debris flow fans, even if the relief ratio was less than 0.36 because the sediments were fine-grained and tended to flow downstream. In contrast, morphological factors that influence the presence or absence of debris flow fans were common at both sites. The first, second, and third most important morphological factors were the relief ratio, most frequent slope gradient, and basin length, respectively. Therefore, these morphological factors are considered important in evaluating debris flow risks. This study demonstrated that the decision tree analysis is an effective tool to obtain hierarchy and threshold of morphological factors that classifies the presence and absence of debris flows reaching valley mouths.

Artikel ini membahas model gerakan Aleta Baun dalam menolak pertambangan di Mollo, NTT dan kesinambungan perjuangannya di jalur politik. Gerakan Aleta menunjukkan perbedaan penting. Aksi penyelamatan lingkungan dan gerakan perempuan (ekofeminisme) yang dipimpinnya dilandasi dengan spirit kearifan lokal Timor. Dalam kearifan lokal Timor yang diyakini; batu, hutan, air, dan tanah bagaikan tubuh manusia (fatu, nasi, noel, afu amsan a‘fatif neu monit mansion). Tanah adalah ibarat daging, air ibarat darah, hutan ibarat urat nadi dan rambut, dan batu ibarat tulang. Narasi ini sangat kuat dalam menggerakkan perempuan di Mollo. Setelah berjuang 13 tahun dan berhasil mengusir korporasi tambang, Aleta terus mengorganisir perempuan dan masyarakat adat. Model gerakan yang bertahap, urgensi pengembangan komunitas adat, dan opsi politik formal, menjadi temuan yang berbeda dari studi-studi sebelumnya. Apa yang ditemukan dari kisah Aleta dapat dipertimbangkan sebagai model sukses bagi gerakan feminisme dan ekologi di mana pun di tingkat lokal.

COVID-19 has transformed the K-12 education system. Many students, faculty, and staff have been required to transition from a traditional in-person school environment to a strictly virtual or hybrid setting, with little to no preparation or training. This drastic and sudden change has left students, families, faculty, and staff to navigate new or altered responsibilities related to virtual/hybrid learning. In turn, many students who are accustomed to learning in-person have experienced new stressors related to virtual/hybrid learning. Additionally, school counselors find themselves having to provide virtual/hybrid social, emotional, and academic support for their various student populations. Leading the Journal of Human Services special issue’s third section, Youth and Schools in the Current Context, we discuss in this article how school counselors can support students during and after COVID-19 using the Multi Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework—employing virtual interventions that will be useful beyond the pandemic’s duration.
Amid Dual Pandemics of COVID-19 and Racism: Helping Black Doctoral Students Thrive
Authors: Horton-Parker Radha J. , Wambui Preston Judith
Published: May 2023

How can we help Black doctoral students thrive in a world of COVID-19 and racism? In the special issue’s final contribution, we explore this question first by identifying the longstanding challenges Black doctoral students have faced in higher education. Examples of such challenges include structural racism, microaggressions, and biases based on the intersectionality of race, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. We next address how the “dual pandemics” of COVID-19 and racial injustice have magnified such challenges. Then, we consider how institutions can better support Black doctoral students by recruiting and retaining faculty of color and enhancing student support initiatives. Finally, we suggest strategies that faculty and the students themselves can employ to increase Black doctoral students’ retention and overall success, including empathic mentoring, student and faculty collaboration, peer support, and attention to self-care and mental health needs.

Background

The American Board of Medical Specialties definition of medical professionalism cites the need to acquire, maintain, and advance a value system serving the patients’ and public’s interests above self-interests.4 Medical professionalism is a one of the core physician competencies assessed by both the ACGME training program evaluation and the ABA certification process. However, a growing concern for the decline of professionalism and altruism in medicine resulted in increased publications on the matter, citing various potential sources for the issue.

Methods

All residents and fellows (Focus Group 1) of the Anesthesiology Department of Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, NY were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview via Zoom, held on two separate dates. A separate invitation was sent to the faculty of the department (Focus Group 2), held on one date. During the interview, guiding questions were provided by the 4 interviews to facilitate discussion. The interviewers, all members of the anesthesia faculty, took notes as the interviews progressed. The notes were reviewed for common themes as well as supporting and contradicting quotations.

Results

A total of 23 residents and fellows and a total of 25 faculty members within the Anesthesiology department at Montefiore Medical Center were interviewed. Amongst the findings, common discussions concerned motivating and demotivating factors contributing to the professionalism and altruism exhibited by the residents and fellows when caring for critical COVID-19 patients during the height of the pandemic. It was widely regarded that patient improvement, community and team support, as well as intrinsic desire to help greatly motivated the team while continuous patient deterioration, uncertainty in staffing and treatment, and concerns for personal and family safety were sources of discouragement. Overall, faculty perceived an increased demonstration of altruism amongst residents and fellows. The statements made by the residents and fellows during their interviews supported this observation.

Conclusions

The actions of the Montefiore Anesthesiology residents and fellows demonstrated that altruism and professionalism were readily available amongst physicians. Increased levels of empathy and responsibility contributed to a demonstration of professionalism that challenges previous views of a perceived decline of these attributes in the medical field. The findings of this study stress the importance of creating a curriculum and exercise that stress empathy-based care and altruism in order to improve resident satisfaction and decrease feelings of burnout. Additionally, curriculum additions to facilitate professionalism are proposed.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of iron supplementation on HbA1c levels in Anemic type 1 diabetes mellitus individuals and its association. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 90 Type 1 Diabetic patients of which 60 had anemia and 30 had normal Hemoglobin levels. Structured questionnaires were used to collect information on socio-demographics and other co-morbidities / clinical conditions. The Cell Dyn 1800 hematological analyzer was used to test the venous blood for a complete blood count (CBC). Alongside, electrochemiluminescence (ECL) E411 (Kit Roche) was used to perform serum ferritin, serum iron, and total iron-binding capacity. HbA1c levels were accessed by glyco-hemoglobin reagent kit. Results: Patient’s hemoglobin levels were 10.1g/dl at baseline and 11.1g/dl following therapy. Anemic patients had an average HbA1c level of 8.603% and after iron supplementation it was 7.608%. On the other hand the HbA1c in the control group was 8.1% previously and after three months was 8.3%. Hence, after three months of therapy, a significant decrease in HbA1c levels was seen. HbA1c levels are altered not only in diabetes but in many other instances including different forms of anemia. This study was aimed at finding the correlation between iron levels and corresponding changes in HbA1c levels. Understanding the role of iron levels on HbA1c values prevents physicians from misevaluating the intensity of diabetes as sometimes a high reading HbA1c may only be due to iron deficiency and not because of increasing severity of diabetes. Conclusion: Anemia has an inverse relationship with HbA1c levels. When the level of hemoglobin lowers in anemic individuals, HbA1c levels rise in tandem. Furthermore, when anemia is corrected, their HbA1c levels drop to near-normal levels. Aside from blood glucose, a variety of additional variables influence the computed HbA1c quantification number, which should be considered before starting or changing a treatment regime. Since iron deficiency anemia is so widespread, it should ideally always be ruled out when high HbA1c levels are identified and addressed promptly, to reach optimal HbA1c values.
