MORTE ENCEFÁLICA E EQUIPE DE ENFERMAGEM: DESAFIOS E SABERES – UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Silva Fabiana Amorim da , Vieira Emilly Matias Souza , Silva Ana Cláudia Rodrigues da
Published: December 2024

A morte encefálica foi descrita pela primeira vez em um estudo no ano de 1959, sendo definida como abolição irreversível e definitiva de toda e quaisquer atividades encefálicas por motivo conhecido. No Brasil, o protocolo de morte encefálica é regido por normas rígidas e de natureza legal. O diagnóstico é concluído apenas após o cumprimento de todas as etapas estabelecidas. A enfermagem desempenha um papel fundamental nesse processo, sendo a classe mais atuante no ambiente hospitalar. Em face disso, o presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar as implicações inerentes ao protocolo de morte encefálica sob a perspectiva da enfermagem e elucidar a sua atuação. Esse trabalho trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, descritiva, utilizando abordagem qualitativa dos dados. A pesquisa decorreu a partir da busca de artigos associados às palavras-chave validadas pelo DECS junto aos bancos de dados da LILACS, PubMed e BDENF entre os anos de 2019-2024. A partir da pesquisa realizada, constatou-se que o enfermeiro exerce autoridade em sua atuação para chefiar, executar, coordenar, supervisionar e avaliar os procedimentos de enfermagem diante da morte encefálica, orientando a equipe na manutenção adequada dos órgãos e tecidos, atuando nesse processo desde a identificação de possíveis doadores até a etapa de transplante. Entretanto, constatou-se que profissionais apresentavam estresse, insegurança e incerteza diante do diagnóstico, levando a situações de abordagens inadequadas junto aos familiares. Desse modo, o estudo permitiu conhecer que as maiores implicações no âmbito da equipe de enfermagem existem em razão do desconhecimento do processo e da falta de treinamento, fato que deve ser amplamente corrigido, haja vista a notória essencialidade desses profissionais na fluidez de todo o processo que vai desde o rastreamento até o encerramento do processo através da doação de órgãos e tecidos.

Published: December 2024

El granulado de caucho, que procede del triturado de neumáticos fuera de uso, se emplea en superficies de uso diario como campos de fútbol sintéticos o parques infantiles. El problema medioambiental del empleo del granulado reside en que liberan microplásticos en él, siendo la principal fuente no intencionada. Además, estos gránulos contienen gran cantidad de compuestos químicos, como metales, agentes vulcanizantes y antiozonantes, algunos de los cuales están relacionados con la muerte de especies acuáticas. En este trabajo se describen diferentes metodologías para el análisis de agentes químicos procedentes del caucho de neumáticos en el propio material de caucho y en muestras de agua, así como también su posible bioaccesibilidad en fluidos biológicos simulados y la evaluación a la exposición por contacto dérmico. Además, también se analiza el contenido en metales de dicho material.

Published: December 2024

En el desarrollo metodológico analítico, el efecto de la matriz es un parámetro de calidad a estudiar durante el proceso de validación, sobre todo cuando se utilizan muestras biológicas complejas. Para metodologías basadas en el uso de LC-MS/MS, los efectos de la matriz pueden ser un problema importante, aumentando o suprimiendo la señal debido al efecto de los compuestos co-eluyentes presentes en la muestra. Esto afecta en gran medida a la eficacia de ionización y a la sensibilidad del método.
En este artículo se presentan algunos estudios del efecto matriz para la determinación de analitos con diferente grado de polaridad en muestras biológicas complejas mediante LC-MS/MS, como el alfa-tocoferol con características lipofílicas, las s-triazinas de polaridad media-baja y el 8-hidroxi-2´-desoxiguanosina y 2´-desoxiguanosina con una polaridad media-alta. Además, se proponen algunas estrategias enfocadas a minimizar dicho efecto como son, el estudio del tratamiento de muestra, el uso de patrones marcados isotópicamente, la correcta optimización de los parámetros analíticos, o el uso de la adición estándar como método de calibración, entre otras.

The Current Status, Causes and Optimization Pathway of Urban-Rural Educational Opportunity Disparity in China
Authors: Jiang Shanduojiao
Published: December 2024

This paper focuses on the significant differences between urban and rural higher education opportunities in China. The background reveals that the gap of higher education opportunities between urban and rural areas has a direct impact on educational equity and social progress, especially in the context of the significant unequal distribution of urban and rural economic and educational resources, which urgently needs to be properly addressed. The research reveals that there are significant differences in higher education opportunities between urban and rural areas. From 2005 to 2013, the admission rate of college entrance examination in urban areas was higher than that in rural areas, and the gap showed a fluctuating trend. From 2011 to 2013, the proportion of rural students in Peking University and Tsinghua University was low and the stability was poor. In terms of resource distribution, from 2000 to 2010, the proportion of agricultural registered high school students declined continuously. The root causes of differences involve three aspects: economy, educational resources and social culture. These differences limit personal development and affect career choice, income and social status. It negatively impacts social equity, exacerbates discontent, divides society, and impedes social mobility. It poses a challenge to the national talent pool and limits innovation and development. In order to solve this problem, the following optimization strategies should be adopted: to improve the rural education level, attract excellent teachers and increase the investment in education resources; Promote educational innovation, realize the fair distribution of educational resources and optimize the college entrance examination system; Strengthen family education guidance, enhance parents' awareness and improve education effectiveness.
Mechanisms of Social Risk Derivation and Diffusion in Public Health Emergency of International Concern
Authors: He Donghao , Li Jianguo
Published: December 2024

The risk derivation and diffusion during PHEIC have raised new requirements for national and social governance. This study builds a "Content-Media-Driving Forces" framework and conducts case analysis through theoretical review, which allows the classification of risks derived from PHEIC into two types: tangible risks and public opinion risks. Tangible risks are manifested as structural risks and process risks, while public opinion risks are represented by popular judgments and the moralization of criticism. In the process of risk evolution, tangible risks and public opinion risks form a complex network of interaction and resonance, resulting in a multi-point radiating pattern of risk derivation and diffusion. In social risk management, it is crucial to strictly regulate epidemic prevention measures, focusing on controlling process-based social risks, responding to public demands in a timely manner, and preventing the diffusion of public opinion that could lead to resonance between public opinion risks and other social risks.
LAW OF VIETNAM AND SOME COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD ON THE PROTECTION OF INVENTIONS CREATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – GENERAL TRENDS AND SOME POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
Authors: Minh Dr. Le Thi , Hau Dr. Vo Trung
Published: December 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a significant technology transforming many aspects of life in recent years. With the increasing importance of AI-based inventions, the issue of patentability for inventions created by AI has become a topic of great interest and debate. Patent law plays a vital role in promoting innovation and protecting the rights of innovators. Patents are a form of intellectual property protection for innovators to prevent others from using their inventions for a certain period. However, the rapidly evolving nature of AI technology poses challenges to patent law, especially patentability criteria and the review of AI-based patent applications. The article outlines the legal provisions on patent procedures in Vietnam, China, Japan, and India. It concludes that in these jurisdictions, it is not possible to protect an invention created by AI because the protection procedures all require the disclosure of information about the inventor as an individual. Disclosure of information about the inventor as an individual is a mandatory requirement during the patent application process. Since an AI system is not an individual, it is, therefore, not possible to apply for a patent for an invention created by AI. On that basis, the article recommends recognizing the AI system as the inventor, but recognizing the AI system as the inventor does not mean that the AI owns the invention. They credit an AI system as the inventor, intended to accommodate the evolution of technology and distinguish between an invention made by an individual and an invention made by an artificial intelligence system.

Published: December 2024

Lignocellulosic biomass, composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, is an abundant and renewable resource with immense potential for sustainable bioenergy production. The methodology could potentially lead to a reduction in fossil fuel reliance and greenhouse gas emissions. However, its complex structure poses significant challenges for conversion, and effective pretreatment technologies are needed to make the sugars more accessible for fermentation. Enzymatic pretreatment for biomass is turning into a promising biofuel production route because it requires less energy and has a lower environmental impact. This method improves biomass solubilization, sugar release, and volatile fatty acid production by reducing particle size and increasing substrate solubilization. Key enzymes such as cellulases, hemicellulases, and ligninolytic enzymes are critical to breaking down the complex structure of lignocellulose. The efficiency of enzymes has improved dramatically over the years due to advances in enzyme discovery, molecular modifications, and production. Enzymatic saccharification has been advanced by approaches that include solid-state fermentation, enzyme immobilization, and optimization of reaction conditions. Enzymatic pretreatment is not free from drawbacks as it also requires high enzyme loadings because of lignin recalcitrance, and, while using the so-called hydrothermal pretreatment, harsh conditions to advantage are unavoidable due to high solids loading. As a response, improved methods such as flow-through hydrothermal pretreatment or combined techniques are being investigated to increase sugar digestibility and decrease the formation of inhibitory products. Future directions should focus on finding novel pretreatment methods that are sustainable and cost-effective for large-scale applications. Through methods including sulfite pretreatment and enzyme engineering combined with CRISPR-Cas gene editing and artificial intelligence techniques, subprocesses of bioconversion can be optimized to improve the overall process. Enzymatic pretreatment has excellent potential to improve the stages of bioenergy production and provide sustainable energy solutions.

THE BIOGEOME CONCEPT AND ITS PLACE IN FUNDAMENTAL HYDROBIOLOGY
Authors: Protasov A.
Published: December 2024

The concept of biogeome in its application to the issues of fundamental hydrobiology is
considered. Hydrobiology is considered as a high-level scientific discipline: along with atmobiology, the
science of life in atmobiont conditions, it studies all manifestations of life in the Earth's hydrosphere. General
ideas about life and living things lead to the conclusion that the unit of living things in the biosphere of the
Earth is the organism, the unit of life is the ecosystem, because there are inseparable links in this bioinert
system between living and inert elements. Two important trends in the evolution of bioinert systems are
dialectically connected in nature: divergence, which leads to an increase in diversity in the biosphere, and
convergence, which determines the existence of ecosystems similar in their structural and functional
organization. In the hierarchical functional fractal structure of the biosphere, this level of convergent similar
ecosystems represents the level of biogeomes. One of the sections of hydrobiology is hydrosphere biogeomics
- a scientific discipline, the subject of which is biogeomes of hydrosphere.

Intersecting Coping Mechanisms for Depression and Anxiety Across Age, Gender, and Occupational Groups in Bangladesh: A Mixed-Methods Approach.
Authors: Sazin Shahariar Sadif
Published: December 2024

This study analyzes the intersection of age, gender, profession, coping mechanisms, and its genesis to understand patterns in how individuals cope up in the moment of depression and anxiety. Examined data reveals that, younger individuals (16–25 years) predominantly adopt social coping mechanisms like Talking to someone and reflective methods such as Meditation. Males tend to prefer action-oriented strategies, such as Exercise and Being busy, while females favor introspective methods like Prayer and Sleep. Professionally, students rely on social and spiritual coping mechanisms, whereas engineers favor practical methods like Sleep and Exercise. Teachers, in the contrary, lean toward emotional and spiritual practices such as Meditation and Prayer. Intersecting demographical data, self-discovery is the initial inspiration for adopting coping mechanisms, followed by the influence from media and peers. However, less effective strategies which are labeled dysfunctional, such as Denial and Isolation, are more prevalent among older age groups, particularly females. These study highlights the importance of tailoring mental health interventions to demographic-specific preferences and inspirations for better mental health management outcomes in context of Bangladesh.
The Impact of Shakti Bandha Asanas on Primary Dysmenorrhea Adolescents: A Case Series
Authors: Ramu Kanimozhi , Muniyappan Sathiyanandham , Annamalai Gayathri
Published: December 2024

As a broad term, "Primary Dysmenorrhea" (PD) can be used to describe any individual with disruptive menstruation pain who does not have any evident pelvic abnormalities. Shakti Bandha Asanas (SBA) is a group of nine yogic postures, which are particularly beneficial for toning the pelvic muscles and organs, as well as for managing menstrual issues. The current case series involved documenting the efficacy of Shakti Bandha Asanas for reducing pain intensity among primary dysmenorrhea patients. Standardized self-report assessments of pain intensity and menstrual symptoms were obtained before and after interventions, using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire (MSQ) scales respectively. Three participants with PD practiced the SBA series for twenty-one days per one menstrual cycle (starting from the 5th day of the menstrual cycle) and continued the same practice for three consecutive menstrual cycles. Pre-data was collected before beginning the intervention, and post-data was collected after the 5th day of the next menstruation phase for each participant for all three menstrual cycles. All participants showed reduction in the intensity of menstrual pain along with decreased menstrual symptoms and felt better in their day-to-day lives. Shakti Bandha Asanas has great potential to reduce the symptoms of PD adolescents. Further research should be stimulated in this area to find the exact mechanisms underlying the benefits of Shakti Bandha Asanas on primary dysmenorrhea.

Chronic migraine specifically causes severe debilitation, greatly reducing the quality of life for individuals experiencing it. Despite the availability of pharmacological treatments, they frequently lead to undesirable side effects, leading to the investigation of alternative therapies. In the Unani System of Medicine, migraine is referred to as Shaqīqa, and Ḥijāma b’il Sharṭ (wet cupping) has been utilized for centuries in its management. This case study presents a 32-year-old female suffering from chronic migraine since childhood, highlighting the effectiveness of Ḥijāma b’il Sharṭ administered over five sittings. The results demonstrate significant improvements in the duration, severity, and frequency of migraine attacks. These findings suggest that Ḥijāma b’il Sharṭ may serve as a valuable alternative treatment for chronic migraine, offering a therapeutic option that minimizes the risk of adverse effects associated with conventional medications.

As for HIV/AIDS, there is an estimate of 10,500 living with HIV/AIDS in Somalia. Children living with HIV are also estimated at 500. Among HIV positive people, only 35% attend ART centers for medications. This study aims to assess discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS in Somalia. With the support of People Living with HIV (PLHIV), the researcher targeted 346 respondents but those accepted to participate were 187 PLHIV including 102 females and 85 males live in different regional states in Somalia. During data collection the researcher either met face to face with the respondent or communicated by telephone. The study doesn’t assess how people become HIV positive. However, the study found nearly half of the respondents became HIV positive for the past five years. Stigma and discrimination are the major challenges face PLHIV. The assessment conducted 1st Dec. 2020 – 10th Jan. 2021
Labour Market Participation of Second-Generation Youth In Italy
Authors: Fellini Ivana , Megna Francesca
Published: December 2024

As second-generation youth are just beginning to enter the labour market in Italy, there is a significant knowledge gap on their labour market outcomes. As regards participation, an important dimension of economic and social integration of youth, second generations might be affected by the same widespread discouragement experienced by youth with no migratory background, even worsened by a more difficult access to employment and/or discrimination. Conversely, they could develop a strong labour market attachment due to ethnic disadvantage in accessing higher education and/or different expectations and aspirations.
Using the “decimal generations” framework to define second generations, the article explores the differences in the composition of youth with and with no migratory background by labour market status, focusing on being a student as a special condition of youth inactivity and on being active in the labour market.
The analysis builds on the ISTAT Labour Force Survey that since 2021 has released information on the country of birth of the respondent’s parents thus allowing the identification of second generations both in the strict, i.e. the country-born children to at least one foreign-born parent, and extended sense, i.e. the foreign-born who arrived in Italy as children, while previous studies have mainly used respondents’ citizenship. Multivariate models are run to control for socio-demographic composition effects and results show that country-born second generations have outcomes similar to those of the youth with no migratory background. In contrast, the 'in-between' generations -the foreign-born who migrated as children or young adolescents- are less likely to be students but are more likely to be active in the labour market than youth with no migratory background. The analysis then highlights a clear-cut difference between the country-born and the foreign-born children of immigrants.

Published: December 2024

The steep decline in infant mortality is undoubtedly one of the most significant changes Italy and Europe have experienced during the last centuries. This paper focuses on the temporal and spatial evolution of survival in the first year of life, using Italian provincial data from 1950 to 2019. After World War II to the present, the decline of infant mortality risks was a process that took place with different intensities and speeds among regions and provinces. Nonetheless, the convergence process was slow even continuously in action. This work has three main objectives. First, the timing and distribution over time and by province of the drop of mortality in the first year of life are pictured. Second, we analyse the convergence process at the territorial level together with the persistence and potential concentration of inequality in survival by means of classical measures of dispersion. Third, we control the evolution of neonatal and post-neonatal mortality with a sub-national approach. To achieve these objectives, we make use of a provincial-level database that has so far been little used, and which covers 70 years, from 1950 to 2019.
After providing theoretical explanations about the emergence and the persistence of geographical inequalities in neonatal, post-neonatal and infant mortality, we will show how the geographical inequality follows the North-South gradient, and whether the process of convergence comes to an end for both the component of infant survival.

This study explores the seasonality of demographic events, focusing on birth seasonality in Bologna from 1729 to 1860. Utilizing monthly data series, the research investigates the impact of meteorological conditions, specifically rainfall and temperature, on birth trends. The analysis employs Henry's seasonality indicators and OLS regression models to examine the effects of lagged precipitation and temperature on birth rates. The findings reveal a consistent pattern of birth seasonality, with births peaking in the early months of the year and declining in summer. The study concludes that weather conditions had a significant, albeit modest, impact on birth seasonality, highlighting the historical interplay between environmental factors and demographic trends in pre-transition settings.
Do innovating enterprises perform better? New evidence from frame SBS and CIS data integration
Authors: Tomeo Valeria , Mastrostefano Valeria
Published: December 2024

Most of economic literature has insisted on the role of business investments in innovation as one of the key drivers of productivity and economic growth. Nowadays policymakers through the ambitious National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), have also emphasized the importance of innovation in enhancing enterprises’ competitiveness and productivity as well as in supporting the twin green and digital transformation and in building enterprises’ resilience. The aim of this study is twofold. It investigates the relationships between the enterprises’ economic performances – measured through the statistical information system for estimating structural economic variables (FRAME SBS) - and enterprises’ innovation activeness, as resulted by the European CIS survey. The second aim of this study is to give some evidence about the characteristics and performances of eco-innovators. The results from the special module on eco-innovation of the CIS 2020 confirm a strong attitude of innovators towards the introduction of new products and processes leading to less environmental impact. To integrate the two sources of business data – FRAME SBS and CIS - the calibration estimator methodology was applied. It is the same methodology adopted for the CIS estimates, but the proposed set of indicators exploits the information derived from the interaction between the two sources in substantial consistency with both. From our analysis a clear picture emerges: the innovation active enterprises showed better economic results in the COVID-19 pandemic’ context too. Italian enterprises’ productivity and profitability are strictly linked to the type and quality of innovation activities carried out. The findings also confirm that better economic performances are strongly associated with R&D-driven innovation attitude. Finally, the study suggests that better profitability and productivity are found in eco-innovators that chose business strategies aimed at implementing environmental sustainable models in the innovation process.

Authors: Broccoli Marco , Bruzzone Silvia
Published: December 2024

Road accidents are a complex issue, and for a comprehensive analysis of the data, it is often recommended to use new indicators and innovative approaches rather than relying solely on traditional methods.
In order to study the different features of all road users and their interactions, it is very important to relate the specific risk elements of the connections between users and vehicles on the road. The paper presents the new collision matrices, with reference to killed or injured involved, the information on the vehicle in collision with they had the crash, and the method used to build the new indicators.

La etiología del autismo aún no está definida así como tampoco el perfil de pruebas del laboratorio clínico que permitan el diagnóstico y caracterización de los individuos con Trastornos del Espectro Autista. Es por ello, que en el presente estudio se propuso evaluar los niveles séricos de los parámetros bioquímicos de rutina del laboratorio clínico, en niños diagnosticados con Trastorno del Espectro Autista. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó la determinación de los parámetros bioquímicos en 64 niños con diagnóstico del Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) pertenecientes a la Unidad de Autismo, de la “Maternidad Concepción Palacios”, sin previo tratamiento junto a un grupo control de 64 niños aparentemente sanos. Los parámetros bioquímicos fueron determinados en una muestra de suero obtenida luego de 8 a 12 horas ayunas, empleando el equipo Dimensión RxL Max de la casa comercial Siemens. Los resultados obtenidos se analizaron considerando los valores de referencia según la edad y el método utilizado, empleando el programa estadístico SPSS versión 17 para Windows. Se calcularon los estadísticos descriptivos y se realizó la comparación entre ambos grupos mediante la prueba T de Student. El intervalo de confianza utilizado fue de un 95% con una significancia de p < 0.05. Resultados y Discusión: Los niños con TEA poseen niveles significativamente más bajos de colesterol total y más elevados de glicemia con respecto a los niños controles sanos. Conclusiones: Aunque no está esclarecida la etiología de la hipocolesterolemia así como su posible contribución en las manifestaciones de los pacientes con TEA, los niveles séricos de colesterol total podrían ser un valioso biomarcador a emplear para el diagnóstico y caracterización del TEA. Así mismo, pensamos es necesario expandir las investigaciones sobre la posible relación entre los niveles de glicemia y el TEA a fin de generar nuevos enfoques para la investigación y el tratamiento del TEA.
