Quantum phases and transitions in spin chains with non-invertible symmetries
Authors: Chatterjee Arkya , Aksoy Ömer Mert , Wen Xiao-Gang
Published: October 2024

Generalized symmetries often appear in the form of emergent symmetries in low energy effective descriptions of quantum many-body systems. Non-invertible symmetries are a particularly exotic class of generalized symmetries, in that they are implemented by transformations that do not form a group. Such symmetries appear in large families of gapless states of quantum matter and constrain their low-energy dynamics. To provide a UV-complete description of such symmetries, it is useful to construct lattice models that respect these symmetries exactly. In this paper, we discuss two families of one-dimensional lattice Hamiltonians with finite on-site Hilbert spaces: one with (invertible) S_3S3 symmetry and the other with non-invertible \mathsf{Rep}(S_3)𝖱𝖾𝗉(S3) symmetry. Our models are largely analytically tractable and demonstrate all possible spontaneous symmetry breaking patterns of these symmetries. Moreover, we use numerical techniques to study the nature of continuous phase transitions between the different symmetry-breaking gapped phases associated with both symmetries. Both models have self-dual lines, where the models are enriched by so-called intrinsically non-invertible symmetries generated by Kramers-Wannier-like duality transformations. We provide explicit lattice operators that generate these non-invertible self-duality symmetries. We show that the enhanced symmetry at the self-dual lines is described by a 2+1d symmetry-topological-order (SymTO) of type JK_4\boxtimes \overline{JK}_4JK4⊠JK¯4. The condensable algebras of the SymTO determine the allowed gapped and gapless states of the self-dual S_3S3-symmetric and \mathsf{Rep}(S_3)𝖱𝖾𝗉(S3)-symmetric models.

Higgs boson pair production is traditionally considered to be of particular interest for a measurement of the trilinear Higgs self-coupling. Yet it can offer insights into other couplings as well, since – in an effective field theory (EFT) parameterisation of potential new physics – both the production cross section and kinematical properties of the Higgs boson pair depend on various other Wilson coefficients of EFT operators. This note summarises the ongoing efforts related to the development of EFT tools for Higgs boson pair production in gluon fusion, and provides recommendations for the use of distinct EFT parameterisations in the Higgs boson pair production process. This document also outlines where further efforts are needed and provides a detailed analysis of theoretical uncertainties. Additionally, benchmark scenarios are updated. We also re-derive a parameterisation of the next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD corrections in terms of the EFT Wilson coefficients both for the total cross section and the distribution in the invariant mass of the Higgs boson pair, providing for the first time also the covariance matrix. A reweighting procedure making use of the newly derived coefficients is validated, which can be used to significantly speed up experimental analyses.

Introduction:Chest trauma is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality following road traffic accidents (RTA). Given the significant potential for complications including respiratory failure and shock, blunt chest trauma following RTA remains a priority in trauma care and so this study aims to look into the clinical pattern of presentation of patients following chest trauma with/without associated injuries to other parts of body i.e. head/abdomen/extremities along with morbidity and mortality associated with it. Aims and objectives of the study : 1. To study the various clinical patterns of presentation of RTA patients with blunt chest trauma. 2. To study the disease burden and death rate of individuals with blunt chest trauma. Methodology: The study has been conducted in the Department of General Surgery, Silchar Medical College and Hospital from March 2024 to August 2024 after taking appropriate consent from 53 patients diagnosed with chest trauma following RTA with/without associated extra- thoracic injuries. Their data was analyzed and results published. Result and Analysis: Mean age in my study was 38.90 Â± 6.57 years with male preponderance. Most patients had 3 rib fractures with pulmonary contusion being most common complication. Most common associated extra-thoracic trauma is abdominal injuries (24.5%) with mean ISS of 13.25 Â± 7.73. most patients were managed conservatively with adequate pain control. Surgical intervention carried out were either tube thoracostomy (92.3%) or needle thoracostomy (7.2%). Most common secondary complication following blunt chest trauma is pneumonia (18.84%) while ARDS complication arose in 9.43% of the patients. Mortality rate was 5.6% and the most common cause that let to the demise was ARDS. Conclusion: To conclude, blunt thoracic injury is a major health problem as it carries significant mortality and morbidity more so, in case of RTA and association of other extra-thoracic injuries also play a pivotal role in the process of recovery of the patient. Presence of lung contusion, pneumothorax, hemothorax are to be dealt adequately with proper analgesia. Even though most cases of chest trauma can be dealt conservatively need for emergency surgical intervention needs to be assessed promptly. One must look for number of rib fractures as they may reflect the disease burden of the patient. Pneumonia and ARDS are a major mortality factor following chest trauma and its complications.

In recent years, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a central topic in management literature, going beyond mere economic considerations to integrate social, societal and environmental objectives. From this perspective, CSR represents an application of sustainable development within companies, historically perceived as guided solely by the logic of profit. Among the many studies devoted to CSR, a major focus is on its impact on financial performance, although the debate remains open. Research findings to date remain heterogeneous, leaving room for ongoing discussion and justifying further study of this impact. The accumulation of knowledge has not yet led to the development of a unified theoretical framework, nor to a convergence of empirical findings. This article builds on existing theoretical work and explores, through critical analysis, the relationship between CSR, as measured by Corporate Social Performance (CSP), and Corporate Financial Performance (CFP).
Experiences of Narrative Therapy Using AI Image Generating Techniques - Focusing on women’s cases with unresolved issues of family of origin -
Authors: Bin Mi-Hyang , Chun Young-Ju
Published: October 2024

Objectives: This study is a multiple case study analyzing the counseling experiences of four women with unresolved family-of-origin issues through narrative therapy using AI image generation. Methods: DALL-E3 was used to convert family-of-origin issues and expectations into images, which were then used as tools for counseling. After completing five sessions of counseling, semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews were conducted. Results: The findings from the qualitative analyses were as follows. First, in the domain of “encountering AI”, AI was found to be an effective tool for helping participants to confront unresolved family-of-origin issues, overcome sadness and regain confidence and agency. Second, in the domain of “dissolution of discourse”, participants' understanding and acceptance of their family-of-origin increased. Third, in the domain of “alternative story”, participants’ current family relationships were improved, and their self-care/self-acceptance abilities were expanded. Conclusion: The potential use of image-generating AI in the family therapy field was discussed.

Published: October 2024

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a reminiscence-based group counseling program to enhance ego integrity in elderly individuals living in rural areas of Jeju. The program sought to improve participants' psychological well-being and quality of life through reflective practices. Methods: For this study, an eight-session program was developed using reminiscence-based media, including salt, clay, and collage. The program encouraged participants to reflect on their life experiences, promoting emotional expression and introspection. Data were collected through participant feedback and psychological assessments before and after the intervention. Results: The results demonstrated significant improvements in ego integrity among the participants. Enhanced psychological stability and social integration were observed as a result of the supportive environment created in the group counseling sessions. Conclusions: Participants benefited from the program by fostering a greater sense of ego integrity, emotional well-being, and social support. The findings suggest that reminiscence-based group counseling can significantly contribute to the psychological health of rural elderly populations. Future studies should explore its long-term effects and broader applicability across diverse demographics.

The article gives the review of works of employees of chair and laboratory of physical mechanics of St.Petersburg State University from the moment of its establishment in 1986 and till 2023 inclusive, that are devoted to modeling of the non-equilibrium processes in gas, fluid and solid. The basic attention is given several major results: 1) creation of model of adsorption layer for the description of locomotion of flying vehicles in near space and an upper atmosphere; 2) a theoretical and experimental substantiation of the general approach to modeling high-speed and short-duration processes in various mediums; 3) application of the specified general approach to studying of shock-induced processes in solid. The detailed substantiation of necessity of the integro-differential form of the transport equations for nonequilibrium processes is given. That is shown that time’s evolution of system, to which interaction of structural elements of medium on the mesoscale leads, is described by the cybernetic methods developed by A. L. Fradkov within the limits of the Control Theory of adaptive systems with feedback. Other results are given short enough.
D-optimal designs for a two-dimensional polynomial model
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Shpilev Petr V.
Published: October 2024

The influence of an affine transformation of the design space on the number of support points in the D-optimal design has been studied for a two-dimensional polynomial regression model. For a full rank model of degree n, a result was obtained that determines the structure of the D-optimal plan. It is proven that for a region of design space that is symmetric about zero, the optimal plan is symmetric as well. This result allows for a significant reduction in the dimensionality of the optimization problem and forms the basis of an algorithm developed by the author for finding D-optimal plans for models of incomplete rank in nonsymmetric design regions. The D-efficiency of designs concentrated at equidistant points was investigated.

The article presents the results of the treatment of trophic ulcers of venous etiology by endovenous laser coagulation. In a comparative aspect, modern data on its effectiveness are presented, the success of this operation is 93–100 %. When comparing the results of using lasers with different wavelengths and energies, the incidence of severe complications (deep vein thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, pulmonary embolism, skin burn) ranges from 0.1 to 2.4 %. In the analysis of the literature, no evidence was found that the wavelength affects the clinical outcome, but the power of the laser energy used matters. The main elements of preparation and performance of operative interventions aimed at elimination of venous blood reflux in lower extremities are indicated, and therapeutic tactics for healing of soft tissue defect in postoperative period are determined.
Preventing violations of mandatory requirements: New qualities of preventive visit
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Dmitrikova Ekaterina A.
Published: October 2024

One of the guidelines for the reform of the sphere of state control in Russia has become the priority of preventing violations of mandatory requirements in relation to the conduct of control activities. At the same time, the types of preventive measures in terms of content and consequences for controlled persons differ significantly, and the legislator linked the implementation of prevention with the organization and implementation of control measures. In this regard, a preventive visit stands out, which has become a popular tool for preventing violations of mandatory requirements. The result of changes in legislation on state control, including the establishment of features of the organization and implementation of prevention, was a qualitative transformation of the preventive visit. At the moment, there is a tendency to replace control measures with a preventive visit, which makes it possible to use the potential for preventing violations of mandatory requirements not only as measures preceding control measures, but also as measures replacing such measures, including on the initiative of controlled persons. The indicated approach made it possible to reduce the administrative burden on controlled persons and create conditions for the effective distribution of resources of state control bodies. At the same time, the convergence of the qualitative characteristics of a preventive visit with state control measures requires a revision of the system of guarantees for the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of controlled persons, so that within the framework of preventive measures that are carried out instead of control measures, the standard of protection of the rights of controlled persons is not reduced.
Maxima jura novit curia and the non liquet prohibition: Problems of understanding and application in civil proceedings
Authors:   Russian Customs Academy, Samsonov Nikolai V. ,   South-Russian Institute of Management
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the traditional understanding in Russian civil procedure of the content of the maxim jura novit curia and the prohibition of non liquet, as well as their manifestation in contemporary Russian civil process. It is argued that the maxim jura novit curia and the prohibition of non liquet are in effect, manifesting in the court’s duty to apply the analogy of the law or the analogy of the right and resolve the issue before the court on its merits, even in the absence of norms directly regulating the disputed legal relationship. The competitive advantage of the Russian judicial process is identified, which lies in the ability to use the institutions of the analogy of the law and the analogy of the right to fill the absence of norms not only of substantive but also procedural law. The evolution of civil procedural legislation norms regarding the indexation of awarded sums and the influence of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation’s acts on this evolution are analyzed. The causes of errors in the understanding and application of the maxim jura novit curia and the prohibition of non liquet, made by ordinary courts when considering applications for the indexation of awarded sums, leading to the repeated necessity to invoke the mechanism of constitutional justice, are identified. It is concluded that the court has no right to refuse to satisfy a claim solely on the grounds of the absence of appropriate legal regulation, uncertainty, or gaps in the applicable law, and that avoiding the application of analogy when it is necessary to resolve the issue before the court should be regarded as a violation of substantive or procedural law norms. The article proposes the direct enshrinement of the status of acts of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation as sources (forms) of law and a detailed definition of the procedure for their application by ordinary courts in the text of the procedural law.
Criminological portrait of the “thief in law” today: Results of the All-Russian penitentiary research
Authors:   Kuzbass Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service, Morozov Alexey S.
Published: October 2024

In legal science and law enforcement, there is no certainty about the relationship between the concepts of “thief in law” and “person occupying the highest position in the criminal hierarchy”, which leads to problems and errors when bringing to criminal responsibility under Part 4 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code and Art. 2101 of the Criminal Code. In order to solve this problem, a study was conducted among the operational staff of institutions of the penitentiary system engaged in countering penitentiary crime in general and organized crime in part icular, professionally possessing knowledge in the field of criminal subculture. As a result of the study, were established: signs of a person who cannot be a “thief in law”; signs of a person who is a “thief in law”; the relationship between the concepts of “thief in law” and “person occupying the highest position in the criminal hierarchy”; the procedure for conferring the title of “thief in law” (the procedure of “coronation”, “baptism”); the procedure for depriving the title of “thief in law”. In addition, the moment of the end of crimes related to the occupation of the highest position in the criminal hierarchy has been determined, the circle of persons included in the number of subjects of crimes provided for in Part 4 of Art. 210 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation and Art. 2101 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the rights and obligations of “thief in law”, their functions and powers in the criminal environment are established.
Mindfulness as a factor of personal stability in a changing world
Authors:   Federal Scientific Center for Psychological and Interdisciplinary Research, Guseltseva Marina ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: October 2024

The everyday world, the sociocultural reality surrounding a person and its conceptualizations can nowadays change several times during the life of one generation. At the same time, changes occurring in reality, in ideas about it and in ideas about the changes themselves are often not synchronized, creating gaps between objective reality and its subjective interpretations. The most constructive response to the challenges of a changing world is mindfulness as a cultural practice and a special state of consciousness. Today, there are two leading approaches to the phenomenon of mindfulness, one of which belongs to the Eastern philosophical and religious tradition, and the other to the Western psychological tradition. A deeper analysis reveals the diversity of facets and interpretations of mindfulness in modern research. Awareness as a complex socio-psychological phenomenon allows us to record the processes of transformation of the modern world into a new state. The observed increase in awareness (and mindfulness) in everyday life and the increased interest in this phenomenon among scientists represents a spontaneous coping strategy in a situation of turbulence. Along with this, the thoughtful observer reveals the antinomic nature of the transformations taking place in the world, where the fashion for mindfulness is accompanied by the opposite process — mindlessness, or unawareness. Lack of mindfulness is associated with behavioral automatisms and schematisms of consciousness, with the absence of doubts about the legality and adequacy of the categories describing reality. The availability of alternative modes of interpretation, sensitivity to context and to the fluidity of change can transform mindlessness into mindfulness. One of the cultural practices that foster mindfulness and awareness today is the Stoicism movement. In methodological terms, mindfulness refers to those categories that correspond to transdisciplinary approaches and tasks of integrating psychological knowledge. This integration takes place both at the interdisciplinary level and within psychology, where the development of mindfulness unites various psychological approaches and practices and allows us to bridge the notorious gap between the academy and applied fields of knowledge.

The study is focused on the emotional state and stress of mothers of prematurely born infants with structural intracranial changes during the first year of their life. Study participants were 77 mothers of infants born at 28.3 ± 3.1 weeks of gestation with intraventricular cerebral hemorrhage, divided in 3 groups: those who received surgical neurosurgical treatment of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (N = 33), conservative treatment for hydrocephalic syndrome (N = 26), and in the intraventricular cerebral hemorrhage group of 1st degree without hydrocephalic syndrome (intraventricular cerebral hemorrhage comparison group, N = 18). The study used measures of depression (BDI-II, 1996) and anxiety (1983), and the Heidelberg Family Stress Scale (2007). The examination of mothers was carried out longitudinally at three age stages: 1) during the neonatal period while in the intensive care unit; 2) at the age of 3 corrected months at the department of pathology of newborns and the department of pathology of young children; 3) at the age of 12 corrected months at home. Results indicate that in the group of mothers of prematurely born infants with intraventricular cerebral hemorrhage, regardless of group membership, the values of depressive experiences and reactive anxiety are higher at the 1st stage of the examination, compared to 2 and 3. In the group of families with infants with posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus there were no significant changes observed in stress indicators during the first years of life of children, while the values of certain individual indicators are higher compared to the indicators in groups of families of children with hydrocephalic syndrome and intraventricular cerebral hemorrhage. The results are discussed from the perspective of possible mental health disorders among mothers of infants with intraventricular cerebral hemorrhage, its additional negative impact on the development of children, and the need of families for early, during the first trimester of the child’s life, beginning of family-centered intervention program and psychological support for mothers. Keywords: preterm infants, intraventricular hemorrhages, caregivers, emotional state, depression, anxiety, stress, early intervention.

The aim of the present study is to reveal psychological factors of medical students’ adaptation to simulation-based education. The importance of the study is based on the wide implementation of simulation technologies in medical education and practical healthcare. The aim of the study was to investigate the perceptions of medical students regarding simulation training scenarios using high-tech simulators through the focus group method. The sample comprised 132 medical students enrolled in the “General Medicine” program, differentiated by their simulation training experience: 60 students from the 4th and 5th years with experience using high-tech simulators, and 72 students from the 1st and 2nd years without such experience. The transcribed recordings of focus groups were subjected to coding and thematic analysis. The results have been used to identify 5 thematic blocks characterizing aspects of cognitive and mental representation of the simulation training environment: physical (technical), psychological and social components, and positive and negative attitudes. The primary factor affecting training perception is the practical experience gained, including practicing non-standard situations, mastering tools, acquiring practical skills, training motor skills, and learning algorithms. The second significant factor is the specific features of the Simulation Center (SC), such as limited equipment, lack of information, restricted access, and limitations in interacting with the simulator, including lack of accountability, communication, and non-technical skills training, subjective perception of the simulator’s cost, and communicative unrealisticness. In view of the obtained data, which allowed to identify specific stressors associated with simulation training, further multidimensional study of the adaptation process is planned.
On the Way to BRICS+ Digital Sovereignty: Opportunities and Challenges of a New Era
Authors: Gromova E. , Brantes Ferreira D.
Published: October 2024

A new era for BRICS has begun with the desire of new countries to join BRICS. This expansion, the BRICS+, poses several challenges and opportunities for the renewed alliance, particularly concerning the digital sovereignty of the countries. On the one hand, the leading five BRICS nations have the potential to achieve digital sovereignty, earning the moniker “the hawks of digital sovereignty.” On the other hand, expanding BRICS membership to countries with varying levels of digitalization raises issues for the alliance. These include improving national legislation on digital sovereignty and defining actions to foster cooperation within BRICS+. This article aims to design a theoretical legal model for BRICS+ digital sovereignty, outlining its pillars and offering recommendations for achieving digital sovereignty within BRICS+. The comparative legal method, used to analyze regulations in digitalization and digital sovereignty among BRICS+ member countries, ensures a comprehensive understanding of the legal landscape. Retrospective analysis, which studied the development of BRICS+ regulations in these areas, provides a historical context. The systematic method, which examined legal tools and instruments that contribute to achieving digital sovereignty, ensures a thorough exploration. The content analysis allowed for the interpretation of news articles and social media sources related to BRICS+ digital sovereignty, adds a contemporary perspective. The authors conclude that achieving digital sovereignty for BRICS+ is possible and offer several recommendations for collaboration, including developing a BRICS+ digital sovereignty memorandum, launching a BRICS+ regulatory sandbox, and deploying a BRICS+ sovereign cloud. These recommendations can inform BRICS+ policy-making, contribute to the limited literature in this field, and serve as a basis for future research on BRICS+ digital sovereignty.
BRICS Expansion: A Geopolitical Triumph of Partner Countries

Published: October 2024

The BRICS organization is making significant and consistent progress in its development. The 15th BRICS Summit was held in Johannesburg from 22 to 24 August 2023. This summit is a global event that sets the trends and guiding principles for future economic policies. Four of the five BRICS member countries are among the ten largest countries in the world in terms of GDP, territory and population. According to open sources, the total area of the BRICS countries is 39.7 million square kilometers (26.7% of the world’s land surface), and the population is estimated at3.2 billion people (41.5% of the world’s population). The economic potential of BRICS, as the leading economic organization in the world, is more than significant. These competitive advantages in the economy and financial sphere represent an enormous resource of industrial, human and technological potential that can serve as the locomotive of the global economy. Following the conclusion of the above summit, the leaders of the BRICS countries adopted the final “Johannesburg-2” declaration, which noted the advisability of using their countries’ respective national currencies in international trade and collectively resolving problems related to international debt. In addition, decisions were made to expand BRICS and admit new member states to the organization. BRICS has established itself as a prominent entity on the global stage, whose influence in world affairs is consistently strengthening. The strategic course of their unification is aimed at planning for the future and meets the interests of the leading nations of the international community, the so-called world majority. By acting cohesively on the principles of equality, partnership support and mutual consideration, the BRICS member countries are effectively addressing the most pressing issues on the global and regional agenda. The BRICS member states are strongly in favor of the establishment of a multipolar world order that is based on international law and is fair. At the same time, they are committed to adhering to the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter. BRICS is the most important guarantor of the legal foundations of international relations and a fair world order in general. The recent expansion of the BRICS group is a significant event that enables the group to have an even greater influence in international affairs. The presented article analyzes the features of the recent expansion of BRICS and its impact on world geopolitics, taking into account the admission of new states to the organization. The distinctive features of the BRICS group activities and its role in relation to the G7 and G20 are revealed. The trends in the transition to a multipolar world are discussed. Furthermore, issues of political and economic cooperation between the different BRICS member countries are analyzed.

As infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST) são um grave problema de saúde pública global, gerando impactos econômicos, sociais e sanitários. A sífilis congênita é uma infecção por essa bactéria que ocorre durante a gravidez, quando a mãe infectada transmite a doença para o feto através da placenta. A infecção pode ocorrer em qualquer momento durante a gestação e pode resultar em graves consequências para o feto, como morte fetal ou nascimento prematuro. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é apresentar a incidência dos casos de sífilis em gestantes na cidade de Vassouras no Rio de Janeiro, pesquisados dos anos de 2016 a 2021, por meio dos dados disponibilizados no Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde do Brasil (DATASUS). Esse estudo demonstrou um alto padrão no número de casos de sífilis gestacional, envolvendo as questões sociais, que impedem o conhecimento das medidas preventivas que impedem a transmissão das doenças sexualmente transmissíveis por parte de mulheres de classe baixa, tornando o pré-natal vital para a identificação e tratamento dessas gestantes sifilíticas, que somente tem conhecimento da sua contaminação ao longo desse procedimento devido à falta de consultas ginecológicas de rotina, ignoradas devido à ausência da educação sexual.

Introdução: o ambiente hospitalar e o Centro Cirúrgico em especial contêm diferentes fatores que geram adoecimento da equipe de enfermagem, com destaque para o desenvolvimento de transtornos mentais e comportamentais que, se não tratados, podem levar ao presenteísmo e ao absenteísmo. Objetivo: identificar na literatura científica as produções existentes acerca do absenteísmo e do presenteísmo por adoecimento emocional na enfermagem que atua no centro cirúrgico. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo de revisão bibliográfica sistemática, do tipo integrativa. Foi adotada a metodologia de Botelho, Cunha e Macedo de 2011, seguindo as 6 etapas da revisão integrativa. Resultados: Foi realizada uma busca na literatura, a partir das bases de dados BVS, MEDLINE, LILACS e SCIELO e após aplicado os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, selecionou-se 7 artigos. Grande parte dos profissionais de enfermagem sofre com transtornos mentais, especialmente aqueles que atuam em setores de maior demanda e complexidade, como o centro cirúrgico, tendo como consequência o presenteísmo e absenteísmo que traz implicações para a assistência e gestão e do centro cirúrgico. Considerações Finais: O absenteísmo e presenteísmo da enfermagem por adoecimento mental traz impacto para a Gestão do Centro cirúrgico. Devem-se emitir esforços para conscientizar gestores sobre os riscos e malefícios desse fenômeno e propor ferramentas para manejar essa condição, contribuindo para reduzir o seu impacto nos ambientes de trabalho.

O Transtorno de Ansiedade Generalizada é um transtorno mental caracterizado por preocupação e ansiedade excessivas e crônicas. Compete aos profissionais de enfermagem e interfere na qualidade da assistência prestada. Este estudo se justifica pela relevância de se conhecer sua ocorrência em profissionais de enfermagem que assistem pacientes graves. Objetivou analisar à luz da literatura a ocorrência do Transtorno de Ansiedade Generalizada em profissionais de enfermagem que atuam em Centros de Terapia Intensiva. Revisão integrativa de literatura realizada na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde e Scientific Electronic Library Online, com os descritores: Unidades de Terapia Intensiva, Enfermagem, Ansiedade. Identificou-se 216 artigos, 04 foram selecionados e compuseram a revisão. Esses artigos relataram alta prevalência de ansiedade em enfermeiros que atuam em CTI. Os fatores ambientais apontados como fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento do transtorno foram: contato direto com pacientes críticos, doenças infectocontagiosas, condições ergonômicas, ruídos, baixas temperaturas, falta de recursos e Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPI) e o contato frequente com a morte. Os fatores relacionados ao ambiente de trabalho foram: sobrecarga, baixa remuneração, conflitos entre a equipe, falta de apoio institucional e rotina exaustiva.

Published: October 2024

Introdução: a gravidez na adolescência é um fenômeno complexo e multifacetado que continua a ser um desafio significativo em todo o mundo.  Ao analisar as ações em saúde, é importante considerar a necessidade de uma abordagem abrangente, que inclua tanto a prevenção primária quanto a secundária. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa que teve como objetivo geral conhecer quais ações as equipes de atenção primária saúde desenvolvem para amenizar o grande índice de gestação na adolescência. Resultados e discussão: A análise revelou uma série de estratégias que envolvem programas de educação sexual, serviços de aconselhamento em saúde sexual, contraceptivos e campanhas de conscientização. Considerações finais: A rede de atenção primária é vital para evitar a gravidez na adolescência porque é frequentemente o primeiro local de contato dos jovens com o sistema de saúde. Para gerar melhores resultados, os profissionais de saúde devem ser bem treinados, conscientes das necessidades dos adolescentes e capazes de fornecer informações confiáveis, suporte emocional e contracepção.

Reflexões sobre a potência de uma Rede de Cuidados na Integração e Integralidade do cuidado na Atenção Primária à Saúde
Authors: Loiola Tatiana , L'Abbate Solange , Mourão Lúcia Cardoso
Published: October 2024

Introdução: À luz das diretrizes e princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), a integração e a integralidade do cuidado estão presentes na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Na prática do cuidado, o trabalho em rede transcende a formalidade das Redes de Atenção à Saúde (RAS) e da intersetorialidade; o coletivo dos trabalhadores imprime suas próprias e singulares formas de agir, criando sua Rede de Cuidados. Na literatura, a terminologia se vincula à situação de saúde ou de vida de pessoas vulneráveis, havendo uma escassez de publicações que abordem o contexto amplo da APS. Objetivo: apresentar a vivência e reflexões sobre a potencialidade de uma Rede de Cuidados, que emergiu entre profissionais, gestores e indivíduos de uma comunidade no Sul de Minas Gerais. Material e Métodos: Qualitativo, com embasamento teórico-metodológico da Análise Institucional (AI). A fonte de dados foi a entrevista com alguns dos participantes, nomeados nesse contexto como atores sociais, e o diário da pesquisadora. Discussão: As vivências são demonstradas pela composição, arranjos e modos de operar, demandas e objetivos, significados e conceitos, o que difere essa Rede de Cuidados de outras redes e os movimentos instituintes do percurso. Conclusão: De maneira geral, a experiência compartilhada pelos atores sociais neste recorte de estudo evidencia uma estratégia conjunta e colaborativa, que permite dar resposta na produção de saúde em seu conceito ampliado, e demonstra a sua potencialidade na produção social e resposta às demandas da prática profissional criadas e recriadas a todo momento nos territórios.

Introduction:

Prolyl-specific oligopeptidase (POP), one of the brain's highly expressed
enzymes, is an important target for the therapy of central nervous system disorders,
notably autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's disease,
and dementia.

Method:

The current study was designed to investigate 2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl) benzaldehyde-
based thiosemicarbazones as POP inhibitors to treat the above-mentioned disorders.
A variety of techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), mass spectrometry
(MS), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), were used for the structural
confirmation of synthesized compounds. After in-vitro evaluation, all of these compounds
were found to be prominent inhibitors of the POP enzyme (IC50= 10.14 - 41.73 μM).

Result:

Compound 3a emerged as the most active compound (IC50 10.14 ± 0.72 μM) of
the series. The kinetic study of the most active 3a (Ki =13.66 0.0012 μM) indicated competitive
inhibition of the aforementioned enzyme.

Conclusion:

Moreover, molecular docking depicted a noticeable role of thiosemicarbazide
moiety in the binding of these molecules within the active site of the POP enzyme.
