Authors: Yadav Jyoti
Published: April 2024

Abstract: Amidst the rapid evolution of autonomous vehicle technologies, ensuring road safety remains a paramount challenge. Effective detection of lanes and potential hazards, including speed breakers and potholes, is critical for safe autonomous driving. In this study, we introduce an innovative Lane, Speed Breaker, and Pothole Detection System (LSPDS) utilizing YOLOv4 Tiny, a state-of-the-art object detection algorithm and computer vision techniques. Our system integrates computer vision and machine learning techniques for analysis of road conditions. By employing camera sensors, we capture the road scene and apply image processing algorithms to identify lanes, speed breakers, and potholes. Moreover, the system incorporates Firebase for user authentication and SMS services for real-time alerts. YOLOv4 Tiny is employed for accurate detection and classification of these features within the captured images, thereby enhancing the perception capabilities of autonomous vehicles.
Impact of Women\'s Participation in Local Governance on Socio-Economic Development: A Case Study of Panchayati Raj Institutions in Maharashtra
Authors: Bhorse Daya
Published: April 2024

Abstract: The participation of women in local governance, particularly in Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), is increasingly recognized as crucial for fostering socio-economic development. This study focuses on the state of Maharashtra, India, examining the impact of women’s involvement in PRIs on various socio-economic indicators. Utilizing empirical data from a comprehensive survey conducted across multiple districts, the study analyzes the correlation between women’s representation in PRIs and key development parameters. Findings reveal a positive association between higher levels of women’s participation in PRIs and improvements in socio-economic indicators. Specifically, districts with greater female representation in PRIs demonstrate enhanced access to basic services such as healthcare, education, and sanitation. For instance, districts with more than 50% female representation in PRIs saw a 25% increase in primary healthcare coverage compared to districts with lower female representation.

Complexity Science and Myth in Big History
Authors: Baskin Ken
Published: April 2024

From early on, David Christian’s vision of big history as a “modern creation myth” faced criticism for introducing elements of spirituality. This essay contends that the resulting controversy arises from a misunderstanding of the nature of myth. The mainstream model of myth depicts it as fanciful stories of supernatural agents that members of a society use to address their anxieties. While this is often the case, the author argues that myth can be more profitably explored as a neurobiological imperative that plays a critical role in cultural evolution. To make this case, he examines how the principles of complexity science helped him understand how human history has gone through periods, such as the Axial Age and Modernity, when the change produced by societies’ greatest successes demanded new ways of thinking about the world in order for those societies to survive. He then examines current neurobiology to explain how reinventing myth has allowed such societies to transform in ways that enabled them to meet the challenges produced by change. With this understanding of myth, the essay concludes with a discussion of how the myth of big history can allow us to contribute to the new ways of thinking that are emerging today, as culture evolves so we can meet our current existential challenges.
Last Stop on the Cosmic Journey: An Estimated Time of Arrival
Authors: Widdowson Marc
Published: April 2024

History is here imagined as a moral, intellectual, and physical journey whose destination involves: penetration to the furthest reaches of the cosmos, complete understanding of the laws of nature, and a perfect system of ethics with respect to the management of society and nature. It is suggested that the exhaustion of material potential implied by the Second Law of Thermodynamics is counterbalanced by the augmentation of informational potential in a process of ephemeralisation or doing more with less. Evolution is modelled as a process of hyper-exponentially increasing combinatorial complexity interrupted by occasional restarts or episodes of creative destruction. Drawing on these speculations, a calculation is developed leading to the necessarily rough and impressionistic conclusion that humanity will reach its above-defined destination some twenty millennia from now.
Towards a genuinely interdisciplinary ‘science of the mind’
Authors: Buccella Alessandra , Maoz Uri , Mudrik Liad
Published: April 2024

In recent decades, the neuroscientific community has moved from
describing the neural underpinnings of mental phenomena – as
characterized by experimental psychology and philosophy of mind – to
attempting to redefine those mental phenomena based on neural findings.
Nowadays, many are intrigued by the idea that neuroscience might provide
the ‘missing piece’ that would allow philosophers (and, to an extent,
psychologists, too) to make important advances, generating new means
that these disciplines lack to close knowledge gaps and answer questions
like ‘Do we have Free Will?’, ‘Why are we conscious?’, ‘How do reason
and emotion interact in decision making?’, and more. In this paper, we
argue that instead of striving for neuroscience to replace philosophy in
the ongoing quest to understanding human thought and behavior, more
synergetic relations should be established, where neuroscience does not
only inspire philosophy but also draws from it. We claim that such a
collaborative co-evolution, with the two disciplines nourishing and
influencing each other, is key to resolving long-lasting questions that
have thus far proved impenetrable for either discipline on its own.
Human exceptionalism and the lot of animals: Telling stories about “human nature” in the anthropocene
Authors: Zakula Sonja
Published: April 2024

This paper arose from a discussion of Maria Kronfeldner?s book What?s Left of Human Nature? In it, I am chiefly concerned with two things: the role that other animals are afforded in discussions about and attempts at defining ?human nature?, and a critique of the concept of nature that is utilized in the book. Furthermore, I view science as storytelling practice, and scholarly narratives about ?human nature? as important stories in order to pose the question of accountability of telling such stories in the Anthropocene.
Explanatory account of the human language faculty: The developmentalist challenge and biolinguistics
Authors: Lipij Ana
Published: April 2024

The aim of this paper is to explore whether Maria Kronfeldner?s analysis of
human nature could be applied to the concept of cognitive systems and
related capabilities, such as the human language faculty. Firstly, I will
address the nature-nurture debate, that is, explanatory claims of nature as
having a role in causing the language ability, and explanatory claims of
culture as responsible for the development of human language capabilities.
The nature-nurture divide generates a problem since it overlooks the
interaction of nature and culture during the development of language
capabilities, the problem called the developmentalist challenge. I will
demonstrate different standpoints that try to answer this challenge, most
famously the constructivist theory of Jean Piaget and the theory of
universal grammar of Noam Chomsky. Following the insights of Kronfeldner, if
we opt for an explanatory (and not classificatory or descriptive) account of
the human language, we will search for the explanatory epistemic roles and
their fulfilments. As Kronfeldner states, different sciences search for
different differences regarding explanandum, and I hope to show that the
integrative interdisciplinary framework dealing with cognitive systems is
needed. The conclusion is that biolinguistics is an interdisciplinary field
with a necessary unifying potential regarding explanatory account of the
human language faculty.
Design and manufacturing of forming molds for thermal storage materials and analysis of their thermal storage structures
Authors: Qian Jun
Published: April 2024

In response to the shortcomings of concentrated stress, difficult forming,
and short service life of commonly used honeycomb ceramic thermal storage
materials with square lattice holes, the author has developed a new type of
low stress honeycomb ceramic thermal storage material by studying the
structure, forming mold, and extrusion forming material of the thermal
storage body. The author introduced the changes in specific surface area and
porosity of heat storage materials with different geometric structures, and
analyzed and compared the structural characteristics of two types of heat
storage materials, namely heat storage balls and honeycomb bodies, under
the premise of equal heat storage capacity. The trajectory of air-flow in
the heat storage chamber was simulated using CFD software, and the pressure
loss and centerline velocity changes of different shapes of honeycomb were
analyzed. The flow characteristics, pressure distribution, and heat transfer
performance of gas inside different shapes of honeycomb were calculated. The
experimental results showed that the closer to the circular shape, the
smaller the pressure loss of the centerline. The larger the equivalent
diameter, the smaller the resistance along the path. From the perspective of
cold pressure loss alone, regular quadrilateral holes and regular circular
holes are the best choices for the shape of honeycomb openings. The
centerline velocity of the equilateral triangle hole is the largest,
indicating that the smaller the equivalent diameter is, the greater the
average velocity at the outlet is. The resistance along the path of the
round hole is the smallest, the regular quadrilateral hole is slightly
larger, and the pressure loss of the equilateral triangle hole is the
largest, which exceeds the round hole by nearly 1/3. Taking into account
factors such as heat storage, specific surface area, flow characteristics,
and heat transfer characteristics, quadrilateral honeycomb cells are the
best choice.
Thermodynamic modelling and control strategy of smart grid thermal energy storage power station based on communication technology
Authors: Chang Zhaosheng
Published: April 2024

As a modern power grid that integrates advanced communication technology,
sensor measurement technology, and intelligent control technology, the
smart grid has good economy, reliability, and stability. Building a strong
smart grid has important strategic significance for developing the national
economy and improving Comprehensive National Power. The balance of
electricity supply and demand, as a physical feature of the power system,
determines the energy matching relationship between generation and
consumption. Unreasonable power generation may lead to unmet electricity
demand, as well as excess electricity and waste of resources. The energy
storage has solved the problem of imbalance between supply and demand in
most environments. The energy storage equipment provides a buffer space for
electric energy, effectively adjusts the time unevenness of power grid load,
realizes peak shaving and valley filling, and reduces the operation cost of
the power grid. Taking the aboveground energy storage power station as the
research object, the 3-D unsteady model of the small and medium-sized
compressed energy storage system was established by using the FLUENT
simulation software, and the correctness was verified through experimental
methods. The influence of different environmental temperatures, chamber
inflation flow rate, the thermodynamic characteristics of the surface
condition and working chamber of the and energy storage were studied. The
results show that the environmental temperature and expansion flow of oil
storage chamber have important effects on its thermodynamic
characteristics, while the surface conditions of oil storage chamber wall
have little effect on its thermodynamic characteristics.
Application of solar energy storage system in building structure design and its thermal process analysis
Authors: Fang Jingchao , Gong Shufen
Published: April 2024

In order to understand the application and thermal process of solar energy
storage system in building structure design, a research on the application
and thermal process analysis of solar energy storage system in building
structure design is put forward. This paper will take the outdoor climate
conditions of residential buildings in a province as an example to conduct
thermal analysis on the heat collection components and heat storage
components of urban residential buildings. The building under test is a
university teacher?s residence located in the university campus of Chengguan
District of the city. It is a multi-storey building with a total of five
floors, and the building is on the top floor. The experimental results show
that the heat storage effect of the thick exterior wall can effectively
reduce the temperature fluctuation of the exterior wall. The difference
between the maximum and minimum values of the exterior wall surface
temperature is 19?C, and the difference between the maximum and minimum
values of the interior surface temperature is 5.4?C. The difference between
the maximum and minimum temperature of the north exterior wall is 4.9?C, and
the difference between the maximum and minimum temperature of the inner
surface is 1.6?C. The work of this paper lays a foundation for the
quantitative research on the temperature control of building heat collection
and storage components, and provides a theoretical basis for solar heat
storage.
Application of new nanopolymer materials in intelligent thermal insulation system for building external walls
Authors: Zhang Ning
Published: April 2024

In response to the current problem of poor energy consumption control effect
and overall high energy consumption of new nanopolymer materials for
building exterior walls, the author proposes a thermal insulation energy
consumption control technology based on the heat transfer performance model
of exterior wall insulation panels. Calculate the current heat transfer
performance parameters of exterior wall insulation panels using the reaction
coefficient method, determine the proportional relationship between the
effective heat transfer coefficients, and establish a heat transfer
performance model for exterior wall insulation panels, based on the thermal
conductivity index of the new nanopolymer material for the wall, the current
control parameters are optimized. The optimal data algorithm is used to
obtain the energy consumption decision variable value of the new
nanopolymer material for the exterior wall of the building under the
condition of clarifying the current heat transfer coefficient, and
establish constraint conditions, based on the specific energy consumption
data of new nanopolymer materials outside the current wall, establish the
current thermal energy information transmission ratio relationship, analyze
the current wall energy consumption hotspots, propose the K-means clustering
analysis strategy, and apply it to the hot spot clustering control. Energy
consumption control is achieved by locating the main cluster head parameters
of the hot spot. Simulation results show that the hot spot fit of the
aforementioned control methods has been improved by 29%, and the accuracy of
the design method in cooling load control statistics is significantly higher
than the two traditional methods used for comparison. Due to different
weights, the final improvement ratio is determined to be 27%, further
verifying the hypothesis. It has been proven that it can effectively improve
the energy consumption control effect.
Reducing renal function assessment prior to platinum-based chemotherapy: a real-world evaluation
Authors: Van der Gaag Suzanne , Labots Mariette , Swart Eleonora L. , Crul Mirjam
Published: April 2024

Background: Platinum-based chemotherapy, a widely used backbone of systemic cytotoxic anticancer treatment, is associated with nephrotoxicity. Currently, renal function is generally assessed prior to each administration of cisplatin or carboplatin, but there is no guideline regarding the frequency of renal function determination.
Objective: The primary objective was to determine the median time to a clinically relevant dosage adjustment (>10%) due to change in renal function in patients treated with cisplatin and carboplatin. Secondly, variables influencing changes in renal function were assessed.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of serial renal function assessments in platinum-treated patients with cancer in two academic medical centers, using a query to extract data from the electronic health records between 2017 and 2019.
Results: In total, 512 patients receiving cisplatin and 628 patients receiving carboplatin were included. In total, 15% of all cisplatin-treated patients were found to have a renal function less than 60 mL/min at least once during treatment, with a median time to renal function decline of 67 days (range 5-96 days), which did not differ between treatment regimens. For carboplatin 21% of patients were found to have had a dosage variation of more than 10% at least once during treatment, with a median time-to-event period of 64 days (range 5-100 days).
Interpretation: Dose adjustments during platinum-based chemotherapy resulting from renal function decline occur after a median time of ≥64 days. Our data provide substantiated guidance to recommend renal function assessment during platinum-based chemotherapy in clinically stable patients to once every 3 weeks.

Published: April 2024

Introdução: A avaliação fonoaudiológica hospitalar tem um importante papel na prevenção e manejo de pacientes com risco de broncoaspiração. No entanto, nem sempre cabe ao fonoaudiólogo a primeira avaliação e definição da via alimentar nos pacientes hospitalares. Objetivo: Comparar as decisões fonoaudiológicas e médicas quanto à viabilidade da via alimentar em um hospital geral e identificar fatores associados com a melhora da deglutição. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo de pacientes internados em hospital em Joinville durante março a agosto de 2018. A via alimentar foi considerada com base na Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) sendo a primeira decisão comparada entre o fonoaudiólogo e o médico para o mesmo paciente. Resultados: Dos 171 pacientes, houve maior concordância entre as condutas médica e fonoaudiológica para alimentação por sonda nasoenteral (SNE) (88,7%) e alimentação oral livre (81,9%). No entanto, houve apenas 35% de concordância na definição de dieta adaptada, sendo a concordância geral moderada (Kappa 0,486). Houve evolução na alimentação por via oral em 62 pacientes (36%). Maior limitação da via alimentar, verificado pela necessidade de SNE (OR = 3,17; p = 0,025) e o maior número de atendimentos fonoaudiológicos intra-hospitalares (OR = 1,09; p = 0,020) foram associados com a melhora da disfagia. Conclusão: Encontrou-se concordância entre a avaliação dietética de casos para uso de SNE ou dieta livre entre o fonoaudiólogo e médico. Uso de SNE, como indicador de gravidade do paciente, e o maior número de sessões de fonoterapia foram associados com a melhora da disfagia durante a internação.

Published: April 2024

A Organização Mundial da Saúde preconiza que mudemos a forma como pensamos, sentimos e agimos com relação à idade e ao envelhecimento, lutando contra o idadismo direcionado à pessoa idosa - o conjunto de estereótipos, preconceitos e discriminação contra esse grupo. Diante do papel da fonoaudiologia na gerontologia, do impacto possível do idadismo no cuidado fonoaudiológico e por desconhecermos trabalhos semelhantes ao aqui proposto, objetivamos discutir o idadismo entre estudantes e profissionais da Fonoaudiologia. Realizou-se revisão integrativa de literatura, buscando-se artigos, em abril de 2023, a partir dos termos “idadismo” e “fonoaudiologia” nas bases Scientific Electronic Library On-line (SciELO), Literatura Latinoamericana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Public Medicine Library (PubMed). Incluíram-se todas as referências publicadas nos últimos 15 anos sobre o tema, bem como as pesquisas pertinentes à revisão citadas nestes artigos. Foram encontradas cinco pesquisas, todas quantitativas, publicadas entre 2003 e 2021, duas realizadas nos Estados Unidos, duas no Chile e uma no Brasil. O idadismo foi avaliado como preconceito, como conhecimento indevido sobre o envelhecimento, atitude inadequada com relação aos idosos e como estereótipo sobre eles, e foi encontrado em estudantes na metade (n=2) dos estudos que os investigaram, num deles sob a forma de conhecimento inadequado e no outro sob a forma de preconceito. Ademais, o idadismo esteve presente em fonoaudiólogos em um dos quatro estudos que os avaliaram, apresentado como estereótipo positivo. Os resultados desta revisão não são generalizáveis, mas podem fundamentar reflexões com repercussões no cuidado fonoaudiológico prestado a pessoas idosas e evidenciam a necessidade de mais pesquisas.

Published: April 2024

In this study, the process of tool plunging into the workpiece during external tooth cutting will be modelled. Cut-in is one of the most dangerous stages not only in gear turning, but also in any cutting process. The gear cutting process is analytically studied in terms of maximum chip thickness and, on this basis, recommendations for process design are offered. The developed simulation is able to calculate the appropriate cutting geometry for each revolution of the tool cut-in to the workpiece. Using the designed cutter profile and transition surface, the depth of penetration of the tool into the workpiece can be calculated for discrete time and space intervals. Finally, the developed simulation was tested on a gear with an external gear crown. This article describes the kinematics of gear cutting at the plunging stage and the algorithm for its modelling. In the description of the gear cutting kinematics, a method for creating a gear cutting simulation model was presented. In addition, an analytical method for calculating the maximum chip thickness was applied and confirmed by simulation.
New Topical Treatment for Atopic Dermatitis
Authors: Calvo José Miguel Ingelmo , Cobo José Ruiz , Allam Mohamed Farouk
Published: April 2024

The primary approach for managing atopic dermatitis (AD) involves the use of topical corticosteroids as the first-line treatment.While high-potency topical corticosteroids have shown to be effective, they come with an increased risk of local and, rarely, systemic adverse effects. Additionally, patients often experience a relapsing and remitting course. A revolutionary topical treatment for psoriasis and AD has recently received patent approval from the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Trade, and Tourism. This innovative treatment, presented in the form of a lotion, includes a combination of clobetasol, papaverine hydrochloride, spironolactone, a milk-peptide complex, and propylene glycol. An 18-year-old female presented with AD on the back of her neck and scalp. The patient had no significant past medical history and primarily complained of intense pruritus in the AD lesions. The patient received guidance to apply our recently patented lotion, Psorisbye, once a day for 5 days. In total, 50 ml of Psorisbye was utilized over 4 days. On the fifth day, the patient underwent an examination at the outpatient clinic. The patient reported a significant improvement in pruritus sensations and observed a reduction in scaled lesions. Upon evaluating our patient, a comparison of the lesions before and after applying the topical treatment for 4 days revealed a notable improvement in the SCORAD index, decreasing from 49.95 to 0. While the results of Psorisbye in this case show promise, it is crucial to conduct further studies with larger sample sizes and extended follow-up periods to validate the findings presented in our case report.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a Cannabis sativa extract rich in cannabidiol in the diet of chickens under induced stress conditions. This was achieved through the administration of subclinical doses of inflammation-inducing Clostridium perfringens bacteria and lipopolysaccharide, which are commonly found in poultry production. A total of 204 male Ross (line 308) chicks were divided into 6 groups, with variations in Cannabis sativa extract addition (30 g/1000 g of feed on top) and stress induction methods. At 21 and 22 days of age the birds from the CH1 group were infected (per os) with 1 mL of inoculum (brain-heart infusion medium) containing approximately 108 CFU/mL of C. perfringens. At the same times birds of group CH2 were per os administered lipopolysaccharide in a dose of 1 mL containing 250 μg/kg body weight of. The results indicate that incorporating a 30 g/1000 g Cannabis sativa extract (CBD) additive in chicken diets leads to an increase in ultimate body weight and maintains weight under stressed conditions (P<0.05), without adverse effects on slaughter analysis. Moreover, CBD supplementation does not significantly affect (P>0.05) the physical and chemical parameters or primary composition of breast muscle and liver. However, it may alter the n-6/n-3 acid ratio. Additionally, CBD supplementation helps maintain blood biochemical and antioxidant parameters, supporting overall chicken body homeostasis stressed. Incorporating Cannabis sativa extracts at 30 g/1000 g of feed presents a potential protective measure to enhance poultry farming in challenging intensive production conditions.

The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of cranberry juice on bone microstructure. The research was carried out on an animal model (experimental animals, Windstar rats). The structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis was analyzed using micro CT, and X-ray microtomography equipment with a VDS 1.3Mp FW camera. It was found that cranberry juice increased bone mineral density (BMD). It also increased the thickness of the bone trabeculae (Tb.Th). The highest BMD value was observed in group drinking a 10% concentration of cranberry juice. In rats drinking 25% concentration, an increase in Tb.Th was observed compared to the two other groups, including the control group.
Participation of Foreigners in Public Health Insurance in the Czech Republic

Foreigners from third countries are not entitled to participate in the Czech public health insurance system unless they have either permanent residence in the Czech Republic or a Czech employer. This article aims to analyse the economic impact of the possible inclusion of such foreigners into the public health insurance system in the Czech Republic. First, we estimate the size of the group of foreigners concerned and follow with the estimation of contributions paid and the cost involved. The analysis is based on publicly available data that entail simplifications. The conducted research shows that the inclusion of foreigners from third countries into the public health system of the Czech Republic would positively impact the economic balance of the system in that the estimated contributions would surpass the estimated costs.
Careful Convivial Listening: Making Sound Work Apparent as Political Action
Authors:   , Boothby Hugo
Published: April 2024

Focusing on the creation and performance of sound work this doctoral thesis considers the value of listening as a site of political action. The meaning of sound work is dual; connoting both an artifact that is created and performed, a work of art, and the processes of creating sound, the work of listening. Listening is integral to the creation and performance of sound work and is defined in this thesis as an aesthetic relation generated in the in-between of hearing subject, sound and sound technology. Drawing on the philosophy of Hannah Arendt I recognize a distinction between the objective world building of work, and the transformative potential of political action. Listening and the relational qualities that listening affords are integral to the processes through which sound work can transform to become apparent as political action. In my doctoral research I consider a diversity of sound work including popular music, sound art, podcasting and contemporary experimental music. Applying an experimental media research methodology, I interrogate sound work’s potential to be made apparent as political action using a repertoire of methods drawn from ethnography, artistic research and participatory design. In this research I find that sound work’s potential to become apparent as political action is informed by both the quality of attention tendered by hearing subjects and the material affordances of sound and sound technology. Being attentive to the agencies of both human subjects and non-human objects I posit that an orientation towards careful convivial listening in the creation and performance of sound work can succeed in making political action apparent. Reflecting on the contribution that this research makes within the field of media and communication studies I recognise that sound work, careful convivial listening and experimental media exist as tools that can be applied in future research to build new knowledge and instigate transformative change.
Tax Evoidance Practices in Emerging Capital Market: The Effect of Environment, Social and Governance, Audit Quality and Company Risk

Published: April 2024

Purpose: The act of lawfully avoiding taxes by conforming to tax laws is known as tax avoidance. By taking advantage of gaps in the tax code, this activity was done to reduce the overall tax burden. The effects of corporate risk (CR), audit quality (QA), environment, social, and governance (ESG), and tax avoidance (TA) strategies are all examined in this study.
 
Methods: Companies in the consumer goods industry that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the years 2017–2021 are the sample used in this study. There were sixty companies that were chosen as samples. A multiple regression analysis is performed to test hypotheses and data.
 
Results and Conclusion: The study's findings showed that partially ESG had a positive and significant influence on TA, AQ had a positive but not significant effect on TA, and CR had a negative but not significant effect on TA.
 
Research Implication: The results of the study give consideration to the tax authorities decision to pay attention to the ESC and AQ elements when determining the amount of tax that must be paid by taxpayers, especially companies in the consumer products sector, because these variables have a positive effect on TA.
 
Originality/Value: Particularly in the case of ESG, not many prior studies have employed these three factors to explain company tax avoidance behaviors.

As Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (IST's) são afecções que no mundo acometem grande parte da população, dentre elas o HIV (vírus da imunodeficiência humana) que após transmitido, leva o indivíduo sem tratamento a desencadear a doença denominada AIDS (Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida) que até o momento, não possui cura. O vírus da subfamília Lentiviridae, é um retrovírus caracterizado por produzir doenças imunossupressoras e neurológicas. Em 2021, o Brasil chegou a marca de 960 mil pessoas vivendo com patógeno, a cada hora, pelo menos cinco pessoas foram infectadas, naquele mesmo ano foi registrado no mundo 38 milhões de pessoas vivendo com o vírus, também foram registrados 650 mil mortos em decorrência a AIDS, sendo 13 mil no Brasil. Nosso país conta com uma política pública eficaz na prevenção e tratamento do HIV/AIDS reconhecida internacionalmente, entretanto este cenário vem declinando ao longo dos anos. Esse estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa do perfil epidemiológico com delineamento transversal, sobre base de dados secundários, sendo a coleta dos dados realizada a partir dos registros de prontuários de pacientes atendidos no Serviço de Atendimento Especializado em Saúde (SAE), do município de Bragança Paulista - SP, no período de 2017 a 2021. Diante dos dados adquiridos evidenciou-se a prevalência da infecção nos homens brancos héteros e solteiros, com idade entre 26 a 41 anos, sobressaindo os portadores assintomáticos, corroborando com as políticas públicas eficazes ao público alvo, entretanto fazendo-se necessário atualizações das mesmas aos novos grupos invisibilizados a fim de reduzir os índices de transmissão

الحمــد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين .
إما بعد :
    يجب على مريد العلم أن يتعلم فن أصول الفقه؛ لأنه مفتاح الفقه وبابه، فيتعرف على بدايات نشأة الخلاف وكيف حصلت، حتى يتمكن من تأصيل المسائل مستنداً في ذلك إلى ركن ركين من المعرفة بأصل المسألة المعينة وجذورها، وعلم الأصول يعنى بالأدلة الإجمالية، وكيفية الاستفادة منها، وحال المستفيد منها، وكيفية تنزيلها على الواقع، فحري بالفقيه خصوصاً وبطالب العلم عموماً ألا يغفل عن دراسته.
    فان موضوع اختلاف الأصوليين في ما يقتضيه الأمر وأثره على المسائل الفقهية ، له أسباب كثيرة، فقد يكون بسبب عدم ثبوت الحديث عند بعضهم وثبوته عند الآخرين، وقد يكون سبب الاختلاف هو اختلافهم في فهم النصوص مع اتفاقهم على ثبوتها .
   ومحاور بحثي هذا  تتضمن خمسة مطالب ، تكلمت في المطلب الأول : عن ماهية الأمر وهو تعريف الأمر لغةً واصطلاحاً وفيه صيغ الأمر ، وفي المطلب الثاني : تكلمت عن ما يقتضيه الأمر من وجوب أو ندب ، وفي المطلب الثالث : عن اختلاف العلماء في الأمر هل هو للوجوب أم لا ، وأثره في الأحكام الفقهية ، ففي المطلب الرابع : اذكر خلاف الأصوليين في اقتضاء الأمر المطلق الفورية  أو التراخي ، وأما المطلب الخامس : تكلمت عن اختلاف الأصوليين في فورية الأمر وأثره على المسائل الفقهية .
