Quais são as consequências do uso de crack nos homens e nas mulheres
Authors: Kessler Félix Henrique Paim , Von Diemen Lisia
Published: September 2023

O crack é uma droga altamente viciante, que traz inúmeros prejuízos aos usuários, como o desenvolvimento de patologias pulmonares e cardíacas, desnutrição, doenças psiquiátricas, além da maior exposição a situações de risco. O III Levantamento sobre Uso de Drogas pela População Brasileira - LNUD III aponta que, pelo menos, 1,39 milhão de cidadãos fizeram uso da droga - um número que provavelmente é subnotificado, já que a população de rua não foi considerada no estudo. O artigo "Diferenças de gênero na progressão para o uso de crack e o papel da violência sexual e física", publicado na Brazilian Journal of Psychiatry, aponta que, por ser uma droga com maior potencial de dependência, geralmente o crack não é uma substância de uso primário, tendo seu consumo precedido por outras drogas, como álcool, maconha e cocaína, por exemplo. Dessa maneira, o estudo investiga a progressão do uso de drogas em usuários de crack, considerando, principalmente, a diferença entre os gêneros.
Slew Maneuver Constraints for Agile Flexible Spacecraft
Authors: Marshall Michael A. , Pellegrino Sergio
Published: September 2023

Traditional spacecraft design paradigms rely on stiff bus structures with comparatively flexible appendages. More recent trends, however, trade deployed stiffness for packaging efficiency to stow apertures with larger areas inside existing launch vehicles. By leveraging recent advances in materials and structures, these spacecraft may be up to several orders of magnitude lighter and more flexible than the current state of the art. Motivated by the goal of achieving agility despite structural flexibility, this paper proposes and verifies a quantitative method for determining structure-based performance limits for maneuvering flexible spacecraft. The results demonstrate that, contrary to common assumptions, other constraints impose more restrictive limits on maneuverability than the dynamics of the structure. In particular, it is shown that an attitude control system’s available angular momentum and torque are often significantly more limiting than the compliance of the structure. Consequently, these results suggest that there is an opportunity to design less-conservative, higher-performance space systems that can either be maneuvered faster (assuming suitable actuators are available) or built using lighter-weight, less-stiff architectures that move the structure-based performance limits closer to those of the rest of the system.

Authors: Mellemputi D. Mounika , Harish Hemanth
Published: September 2023

Objectives:

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing in prevalence during present obesity pandemic. More than 25% of persons globally are believed to have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Many reports claim that there is an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) among patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. NAFLD is a silent disease in initial stages but progress to severe hepatic disease and increases cardiovascular morbidity in later stages, so identification and management of NAFLD are of paramount importance in preventive aspect of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Hence, the aim of this present study is to assess the risk of CVD in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in patients with and without diabetes and to evaluate usefulness of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease as a risk factor for CVD.

Materials and Methods:

The present study is a single-center observational study and it included 81 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Results:

In these patients, cardiovascular risk is assessed by ASCVD score, PROCAM score, QRISK 3 score, and atherogenic index of plasma and compared between diabetic and non-diabetic population. The difference has been found between diabetic and non-diabetic in Procom_score, ASCVD_score, and Q-risk_score but not found in AIP_score.

Conclusion:

The outcome of this study is that there is an increased risk of cardio vascular disease in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and risk is further increased in patients with coexisting diabetes mellitus and NAFLD.

Enantioselective Total Synthesis of the Morphogen (‒)-Thallusin and Uptake of its Fe(III) Complex into the Green Seaweed Ulva
Authors: Wienecke Paul , Ulrich Johann , Morales-Reyes Cristina , Dhiman Seema , Wichard Thomas , Arndt Hans-Dieter
Published: September 2023

A fully enantioselective, catalytic synthesis of the algal morphogen (–)-thallusin using polyene cyclization chemistry is reported. The synthesis features dedicated precursor design, introduction of a TMS-substituted arene as a regioselective terminator, very high enantiomer excess (ee), on gram scale, and productive scaffold functionalization. Furthermore, an ee determination methodology of thallusin samples was developed, and the ee of biosynthesized thallusin was determined. Fe(III)-uptake studies demonstrated that the cellular uptake of thallusin derivatives was independent of their morphogenic activity, suggesting their active import via siderophore transporters as a shuttle system.
From light to hydrogen: the complete life cycle of free charges in organic photocatalytic nanoparticles

Published: September 2023

The blend of polymeric donor PM6 and non-fullerene acceptor Y6 is high performing as both an active layer in organic photovoltaics and as a nanoparticulate photocatalyst for the renewable production of hydrogen gas. Despite the high performance of PM6:Y6 blends, many aspects of the photophysics of this material remain unclear. Here we present a detailed spectroscopic analysis of bulk heterojunction PM6:Y6 nanoparticles for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution over 11 orders of magnitude in time, ranging from tens of femtoseconds to hundreds of microseconds. We find that the excitation of Y6 primarily results in the formation of charges first in Y6 domains, followed by diffusion of Y6 holes to PM6 domains. Upon excitation of PM6, charges are generated through two mechanisms: (1) energy transfer to Y6 followed by exciton dissociation and back hole transfer to PM6, and (2) electron transfer to Y6 facilitated by an interfacial charge-transfer state. We use kinetic modelling to confirm these mechanisms and determine the rates of formation and recombination of charges. We also investigate the PM6:Y6 nanoparticles under photocatalytic conditions, and show that the Pt co-catalyst can accept both Y6 electrons and Y6 holes on relatively fast (<100 ps) timescales, and that the sacrificial electron donor ascorbic acid scavenges holes from both components on picosecond and microsecond timescales. The results highlight the critical importance of rapid free polaron formation in Y6 domains, and point towards harnessing this property of the Y-series and other non-fullerene acceptors to develop industrially viable organic hydrogen-evolution photocatalysts.

Authors: Celemin Glendell De Guzman
Published: September 2023

Numeracy is the capacity to use mathematical ideas in all facets of life. It involves activities such as adding and subtracting numbers, counting, number recognition, solving number problems involving various operations, sorting, observing, identifying, and establishing patterns. It is one of the fundamental skills that students should have mastered by the end of their primary schooling. With the notable importance of mastery of numeracy skills, low achievement and performance of the learners were observed in this aspect. This study aimed in enhancing the numeracy skills of Grade 3 learners through authentic performance tasks. The variable in numeracy skills includes the four fundamental operations and problem solving. The quasi-experimental design was utilized wherein purposive sampling or non-randomized sampling was used. In this study, 33 Grade 3 learners of Rizal Elementary School were selected to participate in the tests. Pre-test and post-test crafted by the teacher were the main instrument in the study. The result revealed that in the pre-test the learners obtained a mean percentage score (MPS) of 38.20% in four fundamental operations, which implied a non-numerate level. While in terms of problem solving, the learners obtained a MPS of 20.60% which is also in the non-numerate level. It has a grand mean of 29.40% with an interpretation of non-numerate level. In the post-test, it was observed that four fundamental operations have a MPS of 81.10% which is in average numerate level, while problem solving has a MPS of 76.30% with a grand mean of 78.70% with an interpretation of average numerate level. This implied that there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test in the four fundamental operations and problem solving. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of authentic performance tasks was effective to bridge the gap on numeracy skills.

Authors: Wang Hui , Lyu Yanyu , Guo Linying
Published: September 2023

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on the clinical characteristicsand care needs of infected children during a high-intensity pandemic and to measure the potential effects of vaccination on children’s health status and healthcare utilization. Methods: A sample of 903 children who had recently been infected with the novel coronavirus and came to our hospital’s emergency department from January 11 to January 30, 2023, was used as the research object in this retrospective study. The questionnaire on unknown coronavirus infection was filled out anonymously, and SPSS20.0 software was used for statistical data analysis. Results: The baseline conditions of 903 subjects were studied, including 505 males, accounting for 55.92%, and 398 females, accounting for 44.08%. The age of infection was mainly concentrated in preschool children (26.02%) and school-age children (38.76%). Regarding vaccination, 561 cases were vaccinated, accounting for 62.13%. Among them, 37 children received one dose of vaccine, accounting for 4.1%, 463 children received two doses, accounting for 51.27%, and 61 children received three doses, accounting for 6.76%. For previous allergic diseases, 180 children had a history of allergic diseases, accounting for 19.93%. Regarding sources of infection, the most common source was someone at home, accounting for 82.61%. Vaccination can effectively reduce the fever of children infected with the new coronavirus, the number of outpatient and emergency doctor visits, and the risk of hospitalization. In addition, regarding treatment, children in the vaccinated group were more likely to be treated at home, and the types of drugs used also differed from those in the non-vaccinated group. However, the vaccination group has a relatively high incidence of symptoms such as sore throat, cough, abnormal sense of smell and taste, muscle soreness, and headache. However, these are mild clinical symptoms and do not affect children’s physical health and development. Parental care needs for children infected with COVID-19 are disparate, and parents of vaccinated children have lower proportions of needs for child care. Conclusion: Vaccination positively impacts the clinical outcomes of children infected with COVID-19 and their parents’ well-being.

Authors: Tang Yi , Xia Bingchun , Chen Cibo , Zhao Chunyan
Published: September 2023

Objective: To explore the effect of continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring on intraoperative hemodynamics and postoperative myocardial injury in craniotomy. Methods: 120 cases of elective craniotomy were divided into the self-control group (continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring and intermittent cuff non-invasive blood pressure monitoring, CNAP group) and propensity score matching group (only intermittent cuff non-invasive blood pressure measurement in previous craniotomy, PSM group); Goal-directed hemodynamic management in CNAP group included heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), stroke volume (SV), stroke variability (SVV), and systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI). The main index is to compare the troponin level within 72 hours after operation between the CNAP group and the PSM group; The secondary indicators are the comparison of the hemodynamic conditions between the CNAP group and the PSM at 10 specific time points. Results: The incidence of postoperative myocardial injury in the CNAP group was significantly lower than that in the PSM group (12% vs. 30%, P = 0.01); in the CNAP group hypotensive episodes (6 vs. 3, P = 0.01), positive balance of fluid therapy (700 vs. 500 mL, P < 0.001), more use of vasoactive drugs (29 vs. 18, P = 0.04), more stable hemodynamics medical status (P = 0.03) were recorded. Conclusion: The hemodynamic management strategy based on continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring can reduce the incidence of myocardial injury after elective craniotomy and maintain a more stable hemodynamic state.
Optical Multiplexer
Authors: Gayen Dilip Kumar
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we present an all-optical multiplexer based on a Terahertz Optical Asymmetric Demultiplexer (TOAD) device. The TOAD is used as a nonlinear optical switch to selectively route optical signals based on their wavelength or frequency, allowing for the multiplexing of multiple optical channels onto a single fiber optic cable. We describe the design and implementation of the TOAD-based multiplexer, including the optical components and signal processing algorithms used to achieve high-speed, low-error-rate operation. We also present experimental results demonstrating the performance of the multiplexer, including its ability to maintain signal quality over long distances and under various noise and interference conditions. Our results show that the TOAD-based multiplexer offers a promising approach to all-optical multiplexing for high-speed, high-capacity optical communications systems.

El loro barranquero (Cyanoliseus patagonus) se distribuye en zonas de sabana, estepa y pastizales de Chile y Argentina. En esta nota documentamos por primera vez el registro de esta especie para la ciudad de Tijuana, Baja California, México. El 14 de septiembre de 2018 tuvimos avistamientos de alrededor de 60 individuos buscando alimento en el suelo en un área comercial de la ciudad. Adicionalmente, entre febrero y octubre del 2021 registramos individuos de C. patagonus perchando sobre troncos de palma de taco (Washingtonia robusta) y ocupando oquedades excavadas en los troncos. De acuerdo con la literatura, C. patagonus naturalmente anida en acantilados, pero es capaz de incursionar en el uso de sustratos vegetales y antropogénicos para su nidificación. Recomendamos implementar un programa de monitoreo para conocer la dinámica de la población dentro de la zona urbana, ya que se trata de una especie exótica altamente gregaria y con un alto potencial de fungir como reservorio de Herpesvirus y Chlamydia psittaci, lo cual podría traer serias repercusiones a la salud pública.

Purpose: The subject of the study is issues related to the reform of higher education systems taking into account the Bologna Process. As a theoretical and cognitive goal, the author adopted the presentation of the categories and conditions of the Bologna Process in its roman stage (2020). Design/methodology/approach: The article adopts methodological elements specific to the field of social sciences, including the monographic method. It is implemented in this work as a way of researching specific, individual cases and focuses on the overall recognition of one relevant problem. It is important here to verify each element of the phenomenon in question and focus on the individual components of the issue addressed based on qualitative descriptive elements. The paper draws on the printed publications of authors such as Irina Ferencz, Agnieszka Olechnicka, Tim Birtwistle, Robert Wagenaar, Jurgen Enders, Jeroen Huisman and continuous prints, including: Edukacja Ekonomistów i Menedżerów, Forum Akademickie, Education, Zeszyty Naukowe Politechniki Śląskiej, Studia Prawno Ekonomiczne, Białostockie Studia Prawnicze and Studia Prawnoustrojowe. Findings: The research problem was framed by the question: what changes are possible to implement in European higher education, under the Bologna harmonization formula, after the announcement of the Rome Communiqué in 2020? Practical implications: The practical objective was defined in the form of comments relevant to the needs for changes in the course of the Bologna Process with regard to multidegree education, quality assurance and recognition of periods of education, the social dimension of the Bologna Process and the internationalization of higher education. Originality/value: The study consists of three rudimentary parts, including a characterisation of the development of higher education and the implications for the region, and an analysis of the Bologna Process and its benefits for European higher education, as well as its most recent implications for higher education systems after the Rome 2020 conference. This characterisation fits into the thematic area of education management understood as a potential of the European region. This article addresses the issue of higher education development as a factor in regional development and aims to analyse the most up-to-date desiderata for harmonising higher education systems in Europe, particularly those raised at the Rome 2020 Ministerial Conference. Keywords: Higher (tertiary) education, Bologna Process, harmonisation. Category of the paper: Conceptual paper.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: The article aims at presenting possible challenges faced by supply chains in the upcoming years. Design/methodology/approach: The article employs analysis of the literature on the subject. Findings: As a result of the critical analysis of the literature, the authors have highlighted what they consider to be the most significant challenges facing supply chain managers in the coming years. These include meeting increasing customer demands for on-time delivery, the skillful use of new technologies and an increasing emphasis on environmental issues in supply chain management. These are challenges arising from changes in the business environment. The last few years, and many examples of broken supply chains, have shown that changes in the way we think about how supply chains operate are required in many areas. Trends in the environment are forcing the challenges listed above to be addressed urgently. These challenges are closely interconnected. For example, changes in purchasing behaviour are also increasingly concerned with environmental issues, which translates into the need to 'green' supply chains. Also, customer expectations for greater visibility of processes in supply chains and increasing pressure to deliver as quickly as possible (which is linked to the growth of e-commerce), are driving the need for new technologies, including automation. Research limitations/implications: The authors have focused on the most important trends and challenges and the article certainly does not cover all the topics studied. It is to some extent a subjective selection made by the authors. In addition, it should be noted that dynamic changes in the environment may influence the emergence of new challenges that are not presented in the article. Practical implications: The supply chain management challenges presented in the article may be of interest to those responsible for the operations of supply chains within companies. Originality/value: The article is a subjective indication of the most important trends in supply chain management and stems from a review of the literature on the subject. Although the issues analysed are present in other research papers, here we have the authors’ choice. Keywords: supply chain management, smart logistics, GSCM. Category of the paper: Viewpoint.
Evolution of the use of social media by the local governments of the Lodzkie voivodship
Authors:   University of Lodz, Faculty of Management, Woźniakowski Mariusz
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The aim of the article is to present changes in the use and basic advantages of social networks in communication of local government units on the example of cities in the Lodz voivodeship. Design/methodology/approach: The study consisted in analysing the content of the official websites belonging to the local governments of the individual cities of the Łódzkie Voivodeship in order to see how information on the social networks used (location of plug-ins) is made available and a review of active profiles on these sites was carried out in order to diagnose what content is published. The survey was conducted in December 2022. The results were cross referenced with the corresponding survey carried out in 2019 and 2020. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version). Findings: The study showed that out of the 44 cities analysed in the Łódzkie Voivodship, 42 use at least one social networking site. The most common is Facebook - 42 cities have a profile, followed by YouTube - 25, Instagram - 14 and Twitter 7. 3 cities have profiles on 4 sites at the same time, 11 have 3 official profiles on different social networking sites, while another 15 cities have 2 and 13 have one each. For 2 cities, no profiles were found on social networks. The content and frequency of publication on the profiles varies. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version). Research limitations/implications: The study did not take into consideration social networks which were less popular at the time of writing (e.g. TikTok - among the cities surveyed, only Łódź has an official profile there). The objectives of the communication activities of individual cities are not known. This may be part of further research through in-depth interviews with those responsible for promoting the cities. It is also possible to extend the research to cities of other voivodships and among the target recipients of communication activities in particular sites. Practical implications: On the basis of the author's audit of the communication activity of cities in the Łódzkie Voivodship on social networking sites, this article suggests that the use of social media is an appropriate tactic in cities' communication, both in the external promotional dimension and in communication with citizens due to the participatory, interactive and open nature of social media. Originality/value: The publication presents the results of research carried out on the basis of the author's audit of the activity of the cities of the Lodz voivodship in the social media. Keywords: social media, city marketing, city promotion, marketing communication. Category of the paper: Research paper.
Internal communication in enterprises located in Poland with the use of means of electronic communication – research findings
Authors:   Military University of Technology in Warsaw, Miszczak Marta
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to describe the means of electronic communication used by companies for internal communication, to rank them according to the frequency of use by organizations, and to identify the attributes of the organization affecting the frequency of use of these means. Design/methodology/approach: The article is based on a review of the literature in the field of organizational communication and own research. The research was conducted by means of a diagnostic survey among 225 companies located in Poland (16 provinces) using the CAWI technique and an author's survey questionnaire. Findings: The survey results illustrate the high and continuing popularity of e-mail communication and the untapped potential of tools designed for team and project work. No correlation was noted between the use of means of electronic communication with the scope of the company, the form of ownership of the company, the ownership capital and the respondent (manager, IT manager, owner, board member). The correlation related to the use of e-communication means and the size of the company appears only in the case of e-mail and electronic workflow systems. A similar relationship, but involving more electronic communication means, appears for the degree of computerization of the company. Research limitations/implications: A certain difficulty, already at the design stage of the survey, was the preparation of a list of means of electronic communication. There is not one in the literature that is exhaustive, disjointed and accepted by all. This fact points to the need for research and findings in this area. The risks accompanying the study are related to the development of technology and the obsolescence of specific communication tools. Originality/value: The paper is primarily of cognitive value. The findings allow those responsible for communication in an organization to confront the means of electronic communication used in their organization with those used by others. It also illustrates the untapped potential of electronic tools for team or project work. The results of the study can serve as a reference point for further comparative research. The paper draws attention to the area of intra-organizational communication, which is still unstable and under development in the Polish reality. Keywords: internal communication, means of electronic communication. Category of the paper: research paper.
