Abstract. Dust orientation has been an ongoing investigation in recent years. Its potential proof will be a paradigm shift for dust remote sensing, invalidating the currently used simplifications of randomly oriented particles. Vertically resolved measurements of dust orientation can be acquired with a polarization lidar designed to target the off-diagonal elements of the backscatter matrix which are nonzero only when the particles are oriented. Building on previous studies, we constructed a lidar system emitting linearly and elliptically polarized light at 1064 nm and detecting the linear and circular polarization of the backscattered light. Its measurements provide direct flags of dust orientation, as well as more detailed information of the particle microphysics. The system also has the capability to acquire measurements at varying viewing angles. Moreover, in order to achieve good signal-to-noise ratio in short measurement times, the system is equipped with two laser sources emitting in an interleaved fashion and two telescopes for detecting the backscattered light from both lasers. Herein we provide a description of the optical and mechanical parts of this new lidar system, the scientific and technical objectives of its design, and the calibration methodologies tailored for the measurements of oriented dust particles. We also provide the first, preliminary measurements of the system during a dust-free day. The work presented does not include the detection of oriented dust (or other oriented particles), and therefore the instrument has not been tested fully in this objective.

Published: December 2021

Abstract. Savanna fires contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. While it
is recognized that these fires play a critical role in the global methane
cycle, there are too few accurate estimates of emissions from West Africa,
the continent's most active fire region. Most estimates of methane emissions
contain high levels of uncertainty as they are based on generalizations of
diverse landscapes that are burned by complex fire regimes. To improve
estimates we used an approach grounded in the burning practices of people
who set fires to working landscapes. We collected and analyzed smoke samples
for 36 experimental fires using a canister method for the early dry season
(EDS) and mid-dry season (MDS). We also collected data for savanna type,
grass type, biomass composition and amount consumed, scorch height, speed of
fire front, fire type, and ambient air conditions for two sites in Mali. We
report values for fire intensity, combustion completeness, patchiness,
modified combustion efficiency (MCE), emission factor (EF) and methane
emission density. Our study found that mean methane EFs ranged from 3.83 g kg−1 in the EDS to
3.18 g kg−1 in the MDS, but the small sample did not provide enough power for this
effect to be significant. We found head fires had nearly double the
CH4 EF of backfires (5.12 g kg−1 to 2.74), a significant
difference. Byram's fire intensity was a significant driver of CH4 EF
but with weak effect. Methane emission density increased marginally from
0.839 g m−2 in the EDS to 0.875 g m−2 in the MDS, a difference that
was not significant. Head fires, however, had much higher emission densities
than backfires – 1.203 vs. 0.708 g m−2 – respectively, a significant
difference. We suggest the reason for the higher methane emissions from
head fires, which have higher intensity, is the longer flame lengths that
burn green leaves on trees, releasing methane. We conclude that policies
aimed at shifting the burning regime earlier to reduce methane emissions
will not have the desired effects, especially if fire type is not
considered. Future research should consider the state and amount of leafy
biomass combusted in savanna fires.
Palaeobiological evidence for Southern Hemisphere Younger Dryas and volcanogenic cold periods
Authors: Holdaway Richard N.
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Current consensus places a Southern Hemisphere post-glacial cooling episode earlier than the Younger Dryas in the Northern Hemisphere. New Zealand sequences of glacial moraines and speleothem isotopic data are generally interpreted as supporting the absence of a Southern Hemisphere Younger Dryas. Radiocarbon age series of habitat specialist moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes) show, however, that a sudden return to glacial climate in central New Zealand contemporary with the Younger Dryas. The cooling followed significant warming, not cooling, during the period of the Antarctic Cold Reversal. In addition, the moa sequence chronology also shows that the Oruanui (New Zealand) and Mt Takahe (Antarctica) volcanic eruptions were contemporary with abrupt cooling events in New Zealand. The independent high spatial and temporal resolution climate chronology reported here is contrary to an inter-hemispheric post-glacial climate see-saw model.
Changes in paleo-underground water levels revealed by water wells and their relationship with climate variations in imperial China
Authors: Jiang Chenyao , Jia Xin , Kong Xinggong , Ou Meng , Lee Harry Fung
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Based on the records of the bottom elevations of 482 ancient water wells collected from published archaeological reports, we reconstructed the paleo-underground water levels (PUWL) in the urban areas of Chengdu, Changsha, Nanjing, Suzhou, Suqian, and Yancheng cities in the vicinity of 30° N in China. The PUWL fluctuations varied between the inland and the coastal regions and their transitional areas. There were four PUWL phases in the inland areas: low in Han (206 B.C.–A.D. 220), high in Tang (A.D. 618–907), low in Song (A.D. 960–1279), and high in Ming (A.D. 1368–1644). In contrast, there were five PUWL phases in the coastal regions: high in Han (206 B.C.–A.D. 220), low in Jin-Northern & Southern Dynasties (A.D. 266–589), high in Tang-Song (A.D. 618–1279), low in Ming (A.D. 1368–1644), and high in Qing-Republic of China (A.D. 1644–1949). Yet, there were no apparent changes in PUWL in the transitional areas between the inland and the coastal regions. Regional hydrological factors cause the geographic variations of the PUWL fluctuations. Precipitation changes drove the rise and fall of PUWL in the inland areas. In contrast, the variations of PUWL in the coastal regions were attributed to the temperature-induced sea-level changes. This study illustrates the potential of using PUWL in tracing paleo-environment changes and their driving factors, which is a novel approach in environmental archaeology.
POET (v0.1): speedup of many-core parallel reactive transport simulations with fast DHT lookups
Authors: De Lucia Marco , Kühn Michael , Lindemann Alexander , Lübke Max , Schnor Bettina
Published: December 2021

Abstract. Coupled reactive transport simulations are extremely demanding in terms of required computational power, which hampers their
application and leads to coarsened and oversimplified domains. The
chemical sub-process represents the major bottleneck: its
acceleration is an urgent challenge which gathers increasing
interdisciplinary interest along with pressing requirements for
subsurface utilization such as spent nuclear fuel storage,
geothermal energy and CO2 storage. In this context we developed
POET (POtsdam rEactive Transport), a research parallel reactive transport simulator
integrating algorithmic improvements which decisively speed up
coupled simulations. In particular, POET is designed with a
master/worker architecture, which ensures computational efficiency
in both multicore and cluster compute environments. POET does not rely on contiguous grid partitions for the parallelization of
chemistry but forms work packages composed of grid cells distant
from each other. Such scattering prevents particularly expensive
geochemical simulations, usually concentrated in the vicinity of a
reactive front, from generating load imbalance between the available
CPUs (central processing units), as is often the case with classical partitions.
Furthermore, POET leverages an original implementation of the
distributed hash table (DHT) mechanism to cache the results of
geochemical simulations for further reuse in subsequent time steps
during the coupled simulation. The caching is hence particularly
advantageous for initially chemically homogeneous simulations and
for smooth reaction fronts. We tune the rounding employed in the DHT
on a 2D benchmark to validate the caching approach, and we evaluate
the performance gain of POET's master/worker architecture and the DHT speedup on a 3D benchmark comprising around 650 000 grid elements.
The runtime for 200 coupling iterations, corresponding to 960
simulation days, reduced from about 24 h on 11 workers to 29 min
on 719 workers. Activating the DHT reduces the runtime further to
2 h and 8 min respectively. Only with these kinds of reduced
hardware requirements and computational costs is it possible to
realistically perform the long-term complex reactive transport
simulations, as well as perform the uncertainty analyses required
by pressing societal challenges connected with subsurface
utilization.

ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF CONVERSION OF RICE FIELDS ON AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITY IN EAST NUSA TENGGARA
Authors: Saputra Faisal Adi , Laut Lorentino Togar , Budiman Putra Arif
Published: December 2021

The centrality of agriculture as one of the large sectors that sustain Indonesia's GDP does not make this sector free from various problems. The transfer of the function or conversion of agricultural land to nonfarm is a serious problem that occurs in Indonesia, especially in East Nusa Tenggara. The explosion of population growth and the shift of the economy to the manufacturing sector are the strongest reasons for the narrowing of agricultural land. The productivity of agricultural products is something that needs to be considered. This study uses descriptive analysis techniques and supported data from BPS. The results of this study showed no relationship between the phenomenon of transfer of agricultural land functions and agricultural productivity in East Nusa Tenggara.
Cinco siglos de un debate: rebelión y reforma frente a revolución en las Comunidades de Castilla en su V Centenario
Authors: Rus Rufino Salvador , Fernández García Eduardo
Published: December 2021

Las Comunidades de Castilla, como movimiento social y político, pueden caracterizarse como una tentativa de renovación de la monarquía carolina como forma de gobierno. El creciente conocimiento sobre la circulación de ideas políticas que informaron el corpus doctrinal comunero permite precisar conceptual y terminológicamente un debate revisitado con frecuencia sobre la naturaleza revolucionaria o no de tal proceso. Acudir a los textos de los principales sustentadores teóricos de las Comunidades, tanto como a los documentos de sus reivindicaciones, y no solo a una interpretación de síntesis ex post, contribuye a perfilar el alcance sobre sus pretensiones de reforma respecto a la forma del Estado o a la forma del gobierno, sobre la base de la participación y la igualdad. Apoyarse en las nociones de régimen político y sistema político a la luz de tales textos permite una mejor comprensión del movimiento como reformista más que como revolucionario.
Sobre la igualdad humana en la filosofía de Benito Feijoo: una lectura en clave ética de su Teatro Crítico Universal
Authors: Sabater Natalia
Published: December 2021

El objetivo del presente trabajo es abordar el pensamiento del padre Benito Feijoo a partir del análisis de un elemento central que, sin embargo, no ha sido frecuentemente trabajado: su dimensión ética. Sostendremos que la apuesta de Feijoo por un ejercicio pleno y autónomo de la razón, por una filosofía como actividad crítica, entraña un compromiso ético y humano fundamental, representa un horizonte de lucha contra la superstición y la discriminación, que posee un valor singular indudable. Argumentaremos que esta dimensión ética se articula en torno a la consideración racional de los seres humanos como iguales que se deriva del ejercicio feijoniano de desengaño de errores comunes y se postula como el fundamento de todo vínculo. Para defender esta hipótesis abordaremos el proyecto filosófico de Feijoo deteniéndonos en su análisis de las relaciones humanas, de las prácticas y creencias que las estructuran, a partir del cual emerge una ética de lo cotidiano que apunta a cuestionar los fundamentos filosóficos sobre los que se construyen vínculos y modos de vivir en sociedad. Tomaremos tres ejemplos posibles en los que esta dimensión se hace tangible: (1) el alegato que Feijoo profiere en favor del pueblo judío, (2) las consideraciones que presenta sobre los pobladores nativos del continente americano y (3) la defensa que despliega respecto de las mujeres en una de sus obras centrales, el Teatro Crítico Universal.

Since December 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has emerged and spread quickly worldwide. The disease is generally mild in adult people but in any with comorbidities may proceed to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pneumonia, and multi-organ dysfunction. By performing molecular tests on respiratory secretions can diagnose the virus. Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) and normal/low white cell counts are common laboratory diagnoses of COVID-19 while the tomographic chest scan is usually irregular for many infected people. Some patients progress to respiratory failure, pneumonia, and finally death by the end of the first week of illness because of the sharp rise in inflammatory cytokines such as IL7, IL2, GCSF, IL10, MIP1A, MCP1, IP10, and TNFα. Various approaches to the COVID- 19 are being performed by scientists. Use of chemical medical drugs that are effective for other viral infections. Among them, remdesivir was approved by FDA on 1th May 2020 because of its impact to treat patients. Also, several studies have revealed that many Chinese herbal remedies have a remarkable impact on the healing process when simultaneously were used along with pharmacological drugs. In the meantime, many efforts have been made to produce an effective vaccine, and so far, the Ad5-vectored COVID-19 vaccine has been successful and has entered phase 2 in the human trial. The current review focus on epidemiology, virology, clinical features, diagnosis, and available treatment of coronavirus that might assist researchers and clinicians in establishing action options for timely against this infection.

Transcriptome profiling reveals gene regulation programs underlying tail development in the Ornamented Pygmy frog Microhyla fissipes
Authors: Wang Shouhong , Liu Lusha , Shi Yun-Bo , Jiang Jianping
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Tadpole tail develops from the tailbud, an apparently homogenous mass of cells at the posterior of the embryo. While much progress has been made in understanding the origin and the induction of the tailbud, the subsequent outgrowth and differentiation have received much less attention, particularly with regard to global gene expression changes. Methods: By using RNA-seq with SMRT and further analyses, we report the transcriptome profiles at four key stages of tail development, from a small tailbud to the onset of feeding (S18, S19, S21 and S28) in Microhyla fissipes, an anuran with a number of advantages for developmental and genetic studies. Results: We obtained 48,826 transcripts and discovered 8807 differentially expressed transcripts (DETs, q < 0.05) among these four developmental stages. We functionally classified these DETs by using GO and KEGG analyses and revealed 110 significantly enriched GO categories and 6 highly enriched KEGG pathways (Protein digestion and absorption; ECM-receptor interaction; Pyruvate metabolism; Fatty acid degradation; Valine, leucine and isoleucine degradation; and Glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism) that are likely critically involved in developmental changes in the tail. In addition, analyses of DETs between any two individual stages demonstrated the involvement of distinct biological pathways/GO terms at different stages of tail development. Furthermore, the most dramatic changes in gene expression profile are those between S28 and any of the other three stages. The upregulated DETs at S28 are highly enriched in “myosin complex” and “potassium channel activity”, which are important for muscle contraction, a critical function of the tail that the animal needs by the end of embryogenesis. Additionally, many DETs and enriched pathways discovered here during tail development, such as HDAC1, Hes1 and Hippo signaling pathway, have also been reported to be vital for the tissue/organ regeneration, suggesting conserved functions between development and regeneration. Conclusion: The present staudy provides a golbal overview of gene expression patterns and new insights into the mechanism involved in anuran tail development and regeneration.

Authors: Zhang Xusheng , Zhou Xiaoou , Huang Zhanjun , Fan Xiaorong , Tan Xiaoqing , Lu Chengzhi , Yang Jianshe
Published: December 2021

Background: Aldosterone is an important hormone in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), and playing a pivotal role in the development of hypertension, heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases. Material and method: In this study, the role of the aldosterone in vascular calcification was underwent in rat model compared with other drugs. Vascular calcification, calcium concentration, activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), aldosterone, Urotensin II, mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) and Osteopontin (OPN) were detected or confirmed by the von Kossa staining, colorimetric assays, immunohistochemistry and radioimmunoassay, separately. Result: Results revealed that the aldosterone was significantly increased compared calcification + aldosterone group with calcification group, whereas it was notably decreased in calcification + Spironolactone group in the aortic wall. Compared with control group and aldosterone group, calcium content in vascular tissues was increased in calcification group and calcification + aldosterone group. As the immunoreactivity of the MR, OPN, Urotensin II, IL-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and deposition of collagen in calcification group and aldosterone group, they all were increased slightly, but were significantly increased in calcification + aldosterone group. Conclusion: It is implied that aldosterone may be involved in the development of vascular calcification, however, the mechanism needs to be further studied.
Artificial intelligence in musculoskeletal conditions

Published: December 2021

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an iterative process by which information is captured, transformed into knowledge and processed to produce adaptive changes in the environment. AI is a broad concept, involving virtual (computing) and physical (robotics) elements. In this narrative literature review, we focus on the aspects of AI that present major opportunities for developing health care. Within a few years, AI will be part of our daily clinical practice. Although significant advances are being made, the application of AI in musculoskeletal medicine is still in its early stages compared with its implementation in other areas of medicine. AI is increasingly being employed in fields such as musculoskeletal radiology, skeletal trauma, orthopedic surgery, physical and rehabilitation medicine and sports medicine, as well as for “big data” and AI in gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy related injuries. Among the limitations of IA are that it analyzes information based on the data it is supplied, which must therefore be well-labeled and that some algorithms such as DL uses more time, data, and computational power than other techniques. Moreover, AI currently does not solve the problem of causality that exists in medicine with observational data; information that physicians interpret within a broad clinical context. AI should therefore be integrated in a prudent and reasonable manner into the workflows of health professionals.

“The Bet” against Nihilism: The Intellectual Journey in Chekhov’s Short Fiction
Authors: Janis Michael
Published: December 2021

Anton Chekhov’s “The Bet” (1889) may be considered a latter-day conte- philosophique, as a symbolic engagement with the philosophical challenges presented by nihilism and anarchism that reverberated through Russia since the 1860s. Occasionally assigned in literature classes and alluded to by political pundits, the story nonetheless has not been recognized by critics as a masterpiece of irony and existential inquiry, influenced by countervailing currents of nineteenth-century philosophy. Considered in this article in the broader context of the Chekhovian intellectual journey, the fascinating yet unsettling quest for wisdom described in “The Bet” reflects a pivotal era of the Russian elite, suspended between bourgeois indifference and philosophical recognition.
Art as Symptom or Symptomatology? Performative Subjects, Capitalist Performativity, and Performance-Based Therapy in Duncan Macmillan’s People, Places and Things
Authors: Fakhrkonandeh Alireza , Sümbül Yiğit
Published: December 2021

What a survey of contemporary British drama reveals is a plethora of plays concerned not only with psychological and medical issues, but with precarious individuals, whose symptomatic condition is presented in terms of schizophrenia or schizoid states. Duncan Macmillan’s People, Places and Things (2015) can be considered as a distinctive play in this trend, where not only a rehabilitation center features as its setting, but its main character is afflicted with a complex cluster of symptoms: a schizoid personality, addiction, melancholic loss, and Oedipal tension with parents. Taking People, Places and Things as its focal point, and situating its arguments in the context of “Therapy Culture” (Furedi), this article demonstrates that what distinguishes Macmillan’s approach is his deconstructive understanding of the aporias besetting three chief spheres of human action, cognition, and affection: the epistemological, ontological and moral position of (1) his own art/work and its methods/techniques, (2) the (psycho-)therapeutic disciplines and institutes, (3) contemporary social-cultural discourse and political hegemony. Scrutinizing Macmillan’s treatment of the foregoing triad, it will be argued how his method can be characterized in two terms: symptomatic-symptomatological and critical-clinical.
Art à la the Occult: The Literary Esotericism of James Joyce’s Ulysses
Authors: George Jibu Mathew
Published: December 2021

Widely considered a hermetic text of avant-garde modernism for its inaccessibility to the “common reader,” James Joyce’s magnum opus Ulysses is literally esoteric with allusions to Kabbalistic concepts, terms of Hindu cosmology, Trinitarian heresies, and Continental mystics; quasi-ironic references to Dublin Theosophists; the protagonist Leopold Bloom’s Freemasonry; and structural use of Platonic/Aristotelian metaphysics. However, the esotericism of Ulysses is not confined to the text’s cavalier allusiveness. Nor is the religious origin of Joyce’s art merely part of the personal mythology of the author, a relapsed Catholic, whose Eucharistic aesthetic endeavors to “transmut[e] the daily bread of experience into the radiant body of everliving life.” This article argues that esotericism is a fundamental principle underlying the composition of Ulysses, its envisaged relationship with the “implied reader,” and its larger socio-cultural ramifications. It explores the literary esotericism of Ulysses as analogous to religious esotericism with reference to: the idea of the book as cosmos with the chaotic “word” as its prima materia; its archetypal/symbolic consciousness; the idea of infinity as a hermeneutic principle; manifestation of the ideas of initiation and secrecy as hermeneutic challenges; the self-imposed antithetical character of avant-garde modernism vis-à-vis the mainstream; and the possibility of deciphering a Joycean “vision.”
Christian Gregor's “Treatise Concerning the Singing in the Brethren Congregation” (1784): A Bilingual Edition
Authors: Vogt Peter
Published: December 2021

In 1784 Christian Gregor wrote a treatise on the Moravian understanding and practice of singing, intended as a contribution for the Deutsche Encyclopaedie, a multivolume dictionary project of the German Enlightenment. It appeared in print in 1787, yet it was also circulated in the 1784 edition of the “Gemeinnachrichten,” to be read for instruction and edification in Moravian congregations and societies. Moreover, an English translation appeared in the 1784 edition of the “Congregational Accounts,” the British counterpart of the “Gemeinnachrichten.” Gregor's essay offers a detailed account of spiritual and practical aspects of Moravian singing. Because this important text is not widely known, it is offered here in the form of an annotated bilingual edition.

Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most frequent neurodegenerative pathology associated with age, being progressive, insidious and irreversible, whose cognitive and neuropsychiatric manifestations result in an eventual disability. Thus, the interest in evaluating the epidemiological profile of hospitalizations in Brazil, according to age and sex in the period of 5 years. Methods: Ecological and descriptive study. The data collection for this study was based on results obtained through the Health Information (TABNET) and the SUS Hospital Information System (SIH / SUS) in the period from 2016 to 2020. Results: In the period of 5 years, 7,431 admissions for Alzheimer’s were registered, with the highest prevalence in the Southeast, with 4,192 cases (56.41% of total admissions), followed by the South, with 1,727 cases (23.24%). The least incident region was in the North, with 199 cases. There was a predominance of females, with 4,842 cases (65.15%). The most affected age group was between 80 and over, with 4,398 cases, followed by between 70 and 79, with 2,117. From 2016 to 2020, there was a decrease of 19.25% in the number of hospitalizations, however it had a progressive increase until 2019, being the most incident year. Conclusion: The profile was given by a female figure over 80 years old, from the Southeast. As for the progressive increase until 2019, it is necessary to implement measures and policies guiding and welcoming these patients and their families, promoting a better quality of life for the affected population.

Published: December 2021

S.N.S., 28 anos, G8P2A5, idade gestacional 19 semanas, foi atendida na emergência do Hospital da Mulher Heloneida Studart em 7 de abril de 2021 queixando-se de sangramento vaginal com quadro de abortamento em curso. Expeliu feto masculino com 250 g de peso e 23 cm de comprimento e teve a placenta retida. Foi submetida a curagem e wintercuretagem (WC), com placenta sem plano de clivagem e difícil extração, sendo questionado acretismo placentário. Após vigilância clínica, em bom estado geral e diminuto sangramento vaginal, a paciente recebeu alta em 8 de abril de 2021 e retornou um dia após com queixa de febre. Na reinternação, realizou ultrassonografia transvaginal que evidenciou endométrio espessado compatível com restos ovulares e endometrite. Foi iniciada clindamicina associada a gentamicina e realizou-se nova WC, sem intercorrências. Nos dias subsequentes foram realizadas novas ultrassonografias. Uma sugeriu restos ovulares e outra revelou material de cavidade uterina compatível com doença trofoblástica gestacional. Solicitou-se gonadotrofina coriônica humana beta (beta-HCG) e propôs-se vídeo-histeroscopia diagnóstica, que foi adiada pela possibilidade de infecção intrauterina. Na véspera do procedimento, a paciente evoluiu com choque hemorrágico e foi submetida a histerectomia abdominal total, sendo o útero enviado para anatomia patológica. Na peça cirúrgica, visualizou-se característica compatível com placenta acreta (resultado do histopatológico previsto para 19 de maio de 2021).
Tradição finlandesa como modelo de contribuição da sociedade civil para o binômio mãe-bebê no Sul do país durante a pandemia

Introdução: Na década de 1930 a Finlândia tinha elevada mortalidade infantil. Para melhorar a saúde materna e infantil e proporcionar a todas as crianças um começo de vida igual, independente de classe social, o governo do país adotou na sua política a distribuição, para as puérperas, de caixas de papelão com itens básicos para a saúde materno-infantil, como roupas, lençóis e itens de higiene. Estas caixas também serviam de berço nos primeiros meses de vida do bebê. O governo, acreditando na importância do acompanhamento médico nesse período, vinculou o recebimento da caixa ao compromisso de revisitar a equipe de saúde. Após a introdução da caixa do bebê com esses itens de proteção, a realidade da saúde finlandesa mudou — a taxa de mortalidade infantil e a mortalidade materna diminuíram consideravelmente. Assim, a Associação de Amigos do Hospital Materno Infantil Presidente Vargas (AHMI) adotou a ideia finlandesa como forma de proteção para a saúde materno infantil durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Objetivo: Identificar as puérperas em situações de vulnerabilidade social e prestar assistência às suas famílias, com a entrega de caixas de papelão com inúmeros insumos como forma de assistência e de incentivo ao acompanhamento dos bebês no hospital. Materiais e métodos: Desde setembro de 2020, aplica-se um questionário a todas as puérperas do Hospital Materno Infantil Presidente Vargas. Discriminam-se as pacientes mais vulneráveis, aptas a receber as caixas de maternidade que complementam as necessidades familiares. A análise estendeu-se até janeiro de 2021. Resultados: Foram entrevistadas 811 pacientes, das quais 290 foram consideradas vulneráveis e encaminhadas para o recebimento da caixa maternidade com produtos de higiene para mãe e bebê, roupas e fraldas. Foram distribuídas 259 caixas maternidade e 430 cestas básicas de alimentação. Apesar do convite para retirarem as doações, 10,6% das pacientes não compareceram. As pacientes atendidas pelo projeto já saem com a consulta de retorno para o bebê marcada na alta hospitalar. Mediante o retorno com carteira de vacinação da criança em dia, faz-se a entrega de mais produtos como forma de incentivo ao cuidado com a saúde. O retorno para a consulta de 30 dias do bebê foi somente de 41,6%. Conclusão: A replicação desse modelo possibilitou uma forma concreta e importante de contribuição da sociedade civil às famílias mais vulneráveis na pandemia. Este projeto poderá ser ampliado e servir de exemplo para a política de saúde pública. Mesmo com a proposta de nova doação, os retornos dos bebês para um atendimento no hospital ficaram muito abaixo do esperado, o que demonstra um grande espaço para melhorias nesse cuidado após o nascimento. É um momento oportuno de orientações de saúde a essas famílias, que poderá futuramente impactar a morbimortalidade infantil e as taxas de vacinação da cidade.
