Coordination of COVID-19 pandemic response measures at the territorial level
Authors: Demiscan Daniela
Published: December 2024

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that triggered the COVID-19 pandemic, has caused approximately 20 million deaths and has created global chaos, highlighting the importance of efficient coordination of public health measures to limit spread and reduce impact on healthcare systems and society. Th e study focused on analyzing existing literature using PubMed, ScienceDirect (Elsevier) and search engine Google Academic, considering sources published between 2020 and 2023. Studies have emphasized that early intervention, digital technology use for effective coordination, active community involvement, and efficient collaboration among agencies are crucial in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Relevant data analysis has shown that success in reducing the pandemic’s impact significantly depends on citizens’ trust in their governments. For example, while South Korea managed the pandemic without severe restrictive measures, relying on trust in authorities, New Zealand adopted restrictive measures and effective strategies of clear and transparent communication to efficiently respond to the pandemic’s evolution. In contrast, in regions like Mexico and Brazil, where pandemic management was characterized by deficiencies and shortcomings, high levels of infection, mortality, and morbidity were recorded. Th ese comparisons underscore the importance of well-defined strategies in combating a global health crisis. Coordinated public health measures have been decisive in managing the spread of COVID-19. Th e research highlights the need for effective communication channels, flexible strategies, and determined leadership to optimize public health responses in the context of future pandemics.

Authors: Spataru Diana , Constantinov Oxana
Published: December 2024

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represents a major global challenge, amplified by the excessive and incorrect use of antibiotics. Th is study conducted in the Republic of Moldova investigated antibiotic prescribing practices in multidisciplinary hospitals to identify correlations between these practices and the increase in AMR. Th e study included a sample of 222 patients from four hospitals, selected based on the availability of a bacteriological laboratory and bed capacity. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires, which evaluated the type, duration, and changes in antibiotic therapy, as well as the results of bacteriological tests. Th e analysis revealed a high prevalence of antibiotic prescriptions, at 86.5%, with higher rates in urology (96%) and intensive care (92%) departments. Approximately 70% of patients hospitalized for 3-5 days received an antibiotic, while those hospitalized for more than 10 days were three times more likely to receive two or more antibiotics. The justification for these prescriptions was missing in most cases, signaling an urgent need for improvement in prescribing practices. Third-generation cephalosporins were the most frequently prescribed antibiotics (44.9%), followed by fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides. Th e majority of the prescribed antibiotics were classified as „Watch” according to the WHO AWARe classification, indicating a need for intensive monitoring due to the risk of AMR. Th e results underscore the importance of implementing effective antimicrobial management programs and enhancing the monitoring of antibiotic use to combat the rise in AMR.

Published: December 2024

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most serious threats facing humanity today. Th e majority of pathogens on the WHO list with high resistance to antibiotics are Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas. Data on the etiological structure of septico-purulent infections (SPIs), multiple antibiotic resistance of microorganisms isolated from patients hospitalized at the Institute of Emergency Medicine were analyzed. Gram-positive bacteria accounted for 40,15% among the isolated strains, with a predominance of Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis species. Gram-negative bacteria constituted 56,34%, the most prevalent being Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. P. aeruginosa had the highest rate of MDR – 92,71%, followed by Acinetobacter spp. followed by Acinetobacter spp., E. faecium and K. pneumoniae. XDR prevalence was highest in P. aeruginosa (81,50%), Acinetobacter spp., K. pneumoniae and E. faecium. PDR rates were high in strains of K. pneumoniae, E. faecium, P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. P. aeruginosa showed increased resistance to penicillin’s, beta-lactams with inhibitors and third/ fourth generation cephalosporins. Extremely high resistance was also observed to Imipenem, Meropenem and fluoroquinolone. Moderate resistance was observed to aminoglycosides, while sensitivity was high to Colistin and Polymyxin B. P. aeruginosa strains from intensive care and reanimation (ICU) wards showed very high resistance to various antibiotics. Isolates from septic surgery and trauma wards also showed increased antibiotic resistance.

方形樁帽之極限強度預測-以四樁承載之樁帽為例
Authors: 林國禎 林國禎
Published: December 2024

當建築基地土層承載力不足，可採用基樁承載傳遞建築物重量以保安全。然而其間聯結之鋼筋混凝土樁帽在底層柱之極高軸壓力作用下，設計時需配置適當之厚度避免剪力破壞，並且為確保樁帽不致發生撓曲破壞尚需配置適量的撓曲鋼筋。本研究針對4支樁承載之126座方形樁帽，依據軟化壓-拉桿模型，建議一新解析方法用以計算樁帽之極限強度。藉由分析值與試驗結果之比較，探討分析方法之精確度。經由比對發現，ACI規範(2019)斷面法採用樁帽之全寬度計算樁帽之撓曲強度，易高估由撓曲破壞主控樁帽之極限強度。本研究建議之分析方法，可以精確地判別破壞模式及預測樁帽之極限強度。

 

When the bearing capacity of the soil layer of the building base is insufficient, foundation piles can be used to transfer the weight of the building to ensure safety. However, the reinforced concrete pile caps of the interconnected piles have to be designed with appropriate thickness to avoid shear damage under the extremely high axial pressure of the underlying columns, and the appropriate amount of bending reinforcement is also required to ensure that the pile caps will not be damaged by bending. In this study, a new analytical method is proposed to calculate the ultimate strength of 126 square pile caps supported by 4 piles based on the softened strut-and-tie (SST) model. The accuracy of the analytical method is investigated by comparing the analytical values with the test results. It was found that the ACI Code (2019) cross-section method uses the full width of the pile cap to calculate the bending strength of the pile cap, which tends to overestimate the ultimate strength of the pile cap controlled by the bending damage. The proposed analytical method can accurately identify the damage pattern and predict the ultimate strength of the pile cap.

 
以腹痛及到院前心肺功能停止為主要表現的肺栓塞 —國際機場個案報告及文選回顧

Published: December 2024

「肺栓塞」是少見但致命的疾病，但是由於症狀多變且不具特異性，因而時常被誤診而使病人無法及時獲得妥善治療，進而導致後續的高死亡率。

一位剛下長途飛機的68歲外籍女性，因昏倒及上腹痛向機場醫療中心求助，卻突然發生到院前心肺功能停止，經CPR後回復自發性血液循環，被轉送至北部區域教學醫院急診室，後續被診斷「肺栓塞」。接受緊急治療後，病人病情逐漸改善，並在治療告一段落後，返回越南後續照顧。

腹痛是基層醫療很常見的症狀，而「肺栓塞」也可能以腹痛來表現，是致命的疾病而且容易被延誤診斷。因此家庭醫學科醫師必須對「肺栓塞」的診斷有更高的警覺性，並且列入腹痛的重要鑑別診斷之一。

 

Pulmonary embolism, a rare but fatal disease, is often misdiagnosed due to its varied and non-specific symptoms, thereby preventing patients from receiving timely and appropriate treatment and resulting in a high mortality rate.

 A 68-year-old foreign woman, who had just disembarked from a long-distance flight, sought help at the airport medical center due to syncope and upper abdominal pain. However, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest suddenly occurred. With CPR, spontaneous circulation was restored, and she was transferred to a regional teaching hospital, where pulmonary embolism was diagnosed. After emergency treatment, the patient’s condition gradually improved, and she was able to return to Vietnam for follow-up care upon the completion of the treatment.

 Abdominal pain is a highly prevalent complaint in primary care; it is also a common manifestation of pulmonary embolism, a fatal disease that can be easily misdiagnosed. Primary care physicians therefore need to maintain a high level of vigilance when diagnosing pulmonary embolism and consider it as one of the important differential diagnoses of abdominal pain.

Particulate matter-10 (PM10) can penetrate the lungs, leading to increased lung cell injury and inflammation. The leaf extract of Polygonum odoratum Lour. (PO) is rich in quercetin, a compound known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of PO in a PM10-induced human lung cell model. PM10 samples were collected in Chiang Rai, Thailand, and tested for cytotoxicity in the human lung epithelial cell line (A549). To assess the protective effect, cells were pre-treated with PO and subsequently exposed to PM10 (100 µg/mL) for 24 hours. Cell viability and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity were measured, and the expression of pro-inflammatory genes, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-13 (IL-13), and interleukin-17 (IL-17), was analyzed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The results demonstrated that PO attenuated PM10-induced lung cell injury in a dose-dependent manner and downregulated the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In conclusion, PO shows potential as an alternative treatment for mitigating PM10-induced lung damage.

Plants produce a wide range of natural compounds that possess various beneficial properties, including antioxidant, anti-tyrosinase, antibacterial, and cytotoxic activities. The present study aims to investigate the phytochemicals by total phenolic content and GC-MS analysis and to evaluate the antioxidant and anticancer properties of the peels of Manihot esculenta Crantz. The total phenolic content in fractions A5 and E5, determined by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, was remarkably high with values of 395.77 ± 0.65 mg GAE/g and 617.21 ± 0.62 mg GAE/g, respectively. In terms of antioxidant activity assessed by DPPH scavenging assay, fractions A3, A4, A5, E3, E5, E7 and E8 showed significant activity with IC50 values of 385.83 ± 0.12, 507.87 ± 0.01, 504.69 ± 0.04, 537.56 ± 0.30, 534.04 ± 0.56, 552.78 ± 0.58 and 508.26 ± 0.33 µg/ml, respectively, compared to the standard IC50 value of 555.00 ± 0.35 µg/ml. In addition, the acetone and ethanol extracts showed moderate cytotoxicity against lung cancer cells (H1792) in the MTT assay, with IC50 values of 115.80 ± 2.57 µg/mL and 111.33 ± 2.25 µg/mL, respectively. GC-MS analysis of fractions A3 and E8 identified 6 and 11 components, respectively. The major component of fraction A3 was identified as 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid dinonyl ester (50.59%), while fraction E8 consisted mainly of n-hexadecanoic acid (17.45%). These results suggest that the peel extracts and specific fractions of M. esculenta Crantz. are rich in phenolics and exhibit promising antioxidant activity, making them suitable candidates for development into health-promoting products and medical cosmetics.

Published: December 2024

One fascinating Mumbai proximity that serves as a testament to the myriad essential ecological benefits the wetland ecosystem offers is the Bhandup Pumping Station Wetlands in Maharashtra. It could be identified as wetlands by their parameter water levels and soils rich in nutrients. According to the authors, a variety of organisms, such as microbial communities, hydrophytic plants, and animals including waterfowl should illustrate the ecosystem. The biodiversity assessment conducted in swamps in the Bhandup pumping station emphasizes the general ecology specific at the habitat encounter during the assessment. The hydrophytic plants play critical roles in the functioning of the ecosystem by providing homes and assisting in clearing water to ensure that the complex and interdependent web of life is maintained. Additionally, they are well adapted for the fluctuating conditions of wetland environments. The fauna of wetlands is very rich and varied and includes several different types of species. Bird counts have recorded resident and migratory birds, acknowledging the value of wetlands as vital refueling or resting areas for transiting birds. Mammals, amphibians, reptiles, invertebrates, and countless other organisms further add to the ecological prosperity of our wetlands. Microbial populations in a wetland basin also help nutrient recycling and basin welfare by contributing toward quality preservation of water and wellness of the entire ecosystem. Efforts to understand the current state of wetlands focus on studying the diversity of bird, reptile, mammal, fish and insect populations along with key water parameters. Parameters such as biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), carbon dioxide (CO2 ) levels, turbidity and pH serve as vital indicators of wetland ecosystem health and provide insight into ongoing ecological processes and potential stressors affecting the ecosystem.

Published: December 2024

Este artigo objetiva propor soluções para os desafios da liquidação e efetivação de sentenças coletivas, notadamente daquelas relativas a danos socioambientais decorrentes de grandes desastres. A falta de transparência, lentidão e inefetividade nas indenizações provoca os "danos decorrentes do processo de reparação", os quais retratam exclusões sistemáticas de acesso à justiça. A proposta deste artigo volta-se à efetivação coletiva de sentenças proferidas contra atores privados e públicos, apresentando-se, mediante a metodologia de estudo de casos, exemplos concretos de medidas já adotadas com êxito. Dentre as técnicas sugeridas, destacam-se (i) as sentenças com parâmetros e sua consecução pela via judicial ou administrativa, inclusive por meio de plataformas tecnológicas, (ii) a ordem judicial de liquidar como obrigação de fazer lateral ao pagamento e, no caso de a devedora ser a Fazenda Pública, (iii) a liquidação coletiva e o pagamento como alternativas à liquidação individual e à expedição do ofício requisitório, valorizando-se a consensualidade na solução de controvérsias fazendárias.
Cinco notas sobre os processos estruturais
Authors: Osna Gustavo , Arenhart Sérgio Cruz
Published: December 2024

Seja no debate acadêmico, seja no palco forense, os processos estruturais assumiram espaço crescente na realidade brasileira. Ainda assim, permanecem diferentes dúvidas ligadas à sua efetivação. O presente ensaio procura apresentar ao leitor cinco notas ligadas ao tema que nos parecem essenciais para reduzir essa penumbra. Partindo de metodologia dedutiva e de pesquisa bibliográfica, destaca-se que: (i) o debate relacionado à matéria deve evitar um conceitualismo restritivo; (ii) seu uso é pragmático, ampliando o léxico do processo e da jurisdição; (iii) por não tutelar prontamente o direito, admitindo zonas de desproteção, é preciso zelar pela sua adequada tempestividade; (iv) o mecanismo deve ser lido como uma técnica geral de processo, não se destinando apenas a políticas públicas; e, (v) sua ductibilidade é indispensável, pois cada problema estrutural terá suas próprias características.

Authors: Tavares Ana Claudia Diogo , Vieira Fernanda Maria da Costa , Quintans Mariana Trotta Dallalana
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo busca analisar o papel desempenhado pelo poder judiciário no controle de políticas públicas de prevenção às remoções forçadas e de garantia à moradia adequada, por meio da análise de caso da Ação de Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental (ADPF) 828. Essa ação, caracterizada como um processo estrutural, foi proposta pelo Partido Socialismo e Liberdade (PSOL) no Supremo Tribunal Federal em 2021, com o objetivo de suspender despejos e remoções forçadas durante à pandemia de Covid-19 e determinar a construção de políticas públicas de habitação social provisórias e permanentes. A metodologia da análise consiste em estudo de caso, com revisão bibliográfica e documental da ADPF 828, a fim de analisar os efeitos materiais e simbólicos desse processo estrutural e seus limites. Concluímos que, um dos efeitos simbólicos da ADPF 828, consiste em pautar para a sociedade brasileira o tema das remoções forçadas, caracterizadas como graves violações do direito fundamental à moradia adequada. Identificamos novas formas de decisão no âmbito do Sistema de Justiça, sob a perspectiva de construção de um novo modelo procedimental para demandas concernentes aos direitos à moradia e à terra em disputa, o que possibilita modificação do habitus do campo jurídico, para que sejam considerados os problemas estruturais relativos à posse da terra, à concentração fundiária e ao déficit habitacional, incluindo-se nos processos tanto a participação dos órgãos responsáveis pelas políticas públicas de acesso à terra e moradia, quanto os movimentos sociais populares.

Para tanto, analisa-se o conteúdo e as características do direito ao meio ambiente ecologicamente equilibrado no texto da Constituição Federal de 1988. Posteriormente, lança-se um olhar sobre o sistema constitucional de repartição de competências entre os entes federados com foco nas competências legislativas relativas ao meio ambiente. Logo, a metodologia empregada se baseia em uma análise crítica da Constituição Federal, da doutrina e da jurisprudência, em especial do Supremo Tribunal Federal, a respeito da matéria. Nesse ponto, ressalta-se a originalidade do texto em analisar a evolução jurisprudencial da Corte em relação ao tema da autonomia dos entes federados na proteção ambiental. Finalmente, aborda-se de maneira crítica os possíveis impactos que o desenvolvimento das relações entre os entes federados, no exercício das competências legislativas em matéria ambiental, e os potenciais conflitos decorrentes desse exercício podem apresentar sobre a efetividade do direito fundamental ao meio ambiente sadio e ecologicamente equilibrado. Nisso, foi possível verificar a ênfase da normativa constitucional brasileira em uma competência concorrente em matéria ambiental, que deve ser interpretada em uma perspectiva colaborativa entre os entes federados, a fim de potencializar a proteção do meio ambiente.

Published: December 2024

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar a relação entre os padrões de beleza femininos existentes na sociedade e a violência psicológica dentro de relacionamentos amorosos. Para isso, foram analisados casos de mulheres em situação de violência, a partir de atendimentos realizados no projeto de extensão Núcleo Maria da Penha. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória, que realizou análise documental e pesquisa de campo através de um grupo focal com a equipe de psicologia do referido projeto. Para a análise, foram selecionados cinco casos atendidos entre 2019 e 2020. A partir disso, foi possível perceber que, nos casos analisados, não havia uma relação direta entre o padrão de beleza e a violência psicológica, entretanto, a equipe identificou uma privação ao acesso de cuidados básicos de saúde e estéticos quando as mulheres estavam em situação de violência. Desse modo, a pesquisa constatou que para as mulheres atendidas no projeto existem outras questões mais urgentes do que a estética. Assim, notou-se que o padrão de beleza imposto pela sociedade atinge todas as mulheres, mas de maneiras diferentes, sendo necessário observar o fenômeno de uma perspectiva interseccional.

Published: December 2024

The methods of modeling and designing of Linear Induction Motors (LIM) are considered as the most important element of competition among manufacturers of this category of motors. Although, the majority of manufacturers employ finite element-based methods to achieve more accurate design. However, these methods still suffer from a longer computation time. Moreover, the Finite Element Method (FEM) require very significant and expensive computing equipment. Researchers have been created a number of analysis techniques to solve this conundrum and expedite computation, but the accuracy of the findings is still below acceptable bounds. In this work, we propose the modeling and design of the LIM using the Reluctance Network Method (RNM) in order to reduce the calculation time and improve the accuracy of the results. sing the COMSOL Multiphysics software, a comparative analysis with the FEM is introduced in order to verify the outcomes of the previous one. Compared to finite elements, the results enabled a computation time reduction of 27 hours. The proposed RNM-based methodology demonstrates the potential to enhance the speed and accuracy of LIM modeling and design, which could provide a competitive advantage for manufacturers in the industry. The enhanced analysis provides a more comprehensive interpretation of the results, highlighting both the technical achievements and practical implications of using RNM for LIM modeling. The key takeaway is that while RNM shows slightly lower accuracy compared to FEM (87% vs 88%), it offers a significant advantage in computation time (77% reduction) while maintaining acceptable accuracy for practical applications.

This study assesses the geo-accumulation index (Igeo) and contamination factors (Cf) of zinc (Zn) and lead (Pb) in urban soils of Annaba, Algeria. Soil pollution is a significant environmental issue affecting human health and ecosystems, with heavy metals like Pb and Zn being of particular concern due to their toxicity even at low concentrations. The research involved collecting 25 soil samples from various sites in Annaba, characterized by industrial and urban activities. pH measurements indicated alkaline soils, with values ranging from 7.2 to 7.9. Analysis revealed Pb concentrations between 26.93 and 218.30 mg/kg and Zn concentrations from 103.95 to 713.2 mg/kg. The contamination factor (Cf) indicated moderate to severe pollution, particularly for Zn, which was identified as the most contaminating metal. The geo-accumulation index showed that most sampling sites fell into moderate to heavily contaminated categories for Zn. The findings highlight the urgent need for remediation measures to mitigate heavy metal pollution and protect soil quality in Annaba, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and management strategies to address this environmental challenge.

The physicochemical characteristics of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) are improved by cocrystal formation. This study investigates the co-crystallization of captopril (CAP) with L-proline (PRO) using the liquid-assisted grinding synthesis method. Solid-state behavior is analyzed through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). DSC analysis showed distinct melting temperatures for CAP (105.27°C) and PRO (223.066°C). In the CAP-PRO system, two eutectics were observed: one at x1 = 0.6 characterized by a melting temperature of 104.81°C, while the second corresponds to x1=0.9 and a temperature of 91.44°C. A pure co-crystal was formed at x1 = 0.8 with a melting temperature of 151.74°C. PXRD revealed that CAP-PRO system showed a new diffraction pattern, indicating a distinct cocrystal structure. FTIR spectra displayed differences in wavenumbers, suggesting intermolecular interactions within the co-crystal. SEM analysis showed differences in crystal morphology between the CAP-PRO co-crystal and individual components. Theoretical Study (DFT) HOMO/LUMO and Molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) was also conducted. Overall, this research offers valuable insights into CAP co-crystal formation with PRO, detailing their solid-state behavior and intermolecular interactions, which could aid in developing new co-crystals with improved pharmaceutical properties.

The study of vitreous systems based on antimony oxide Sb2O3 has been investigated. The glass formation limits in the Sb2O3-PbO-ZnO ternary system are reported. The Tg is greater than 300°C, according to thermal measurements performed using differential scanning calorimetry. Tg increases with the zinc oxide content as a general rule. In the (80-x) Sb2O3-20PbO-xZnO system, the effect of ZnO substitution on optical and physical properties was investigated: As zinc oxide concentration rises, so do Vickers hardness and Young's modulus. E or density, an inverse relationship is observed. UV transmission has been stabilized at around 75%. The Urbach's band gap of the glass sample, 05% ZnO, is 2.69 eV, and it has a multiphonon relaxation with length =7.16m. FTIR and Raman spectra provide information on the structural of the glass, specifically the formation of pyramids based on triangular SbO3.
Numerical study of the asynchronous excitation effect of Boumerdes’ earthquake on a bridge behavior
Authors: Belkheiri Nassira , Guesmi Mohamed , Guesmi Mohamed Lakhder
Published: December 2024

This paper represents the numerical analysis of asynchronous excitation effects on a bridge response due to the Boumerdes earthquake, using the finite element method in modeling, and the Newmark method for dynamic response analysis. The influence of the time delay of excitation between the supports on the response of structure is investigated and study how these variations can affect structural behaviour during seismic events. The dynamic displacements, normal, and shear forces and bending moments are computed through detailed simulations. The obtained results show that due to the non-uniformity in the earthquake excitation, changes in qualitative and quantitative features of dynamic displacements of the bridges. This will consequently subject the bridges to increased displacements hence compromising their structural safety and integrity. In fact, the analysis also underlines that, due to non-uniform seismic forces, the distribution of normal and shear efforts, along with bending moments, gives important concentrations of stresses that were underestimated under uniform loading conditions. From these observations, one underlines the importance of non-uniform distribution of seismic loading during bridge design or evaluation. It provides useful data to the engineers and designers who will implement the improvement in the seismic resistance of bridge structures in earthquake areas.
