Kronična opstruktivna plućna bolest (KOPB) zauzima treće vodeće mjesto među uzrocima smrti s udjelom od oko 6 % svih smrti u svijetu i oko tri milijuna umrlih ljudi godišnje. KOPB karakterizira progresivan tijek i velika heterogenost kliničkih obilježja. Važna karakteristika KOPB-a je sustavni upalni učinak, koji u velikoj mjeri pridonosi učestalosti brojnih pridruženih stanja i bolesti, tzv. komorbiditeta koji kompliciraju tijek i pridonose smrtnosti. Akutne egzacerbacije KOPB-a (AEKOPB) izrazito nepovoljno utječu na tijek i ishod bolesti, kao i rizik smrti. AEKOPB čest su razlog dolaska u hitne službe i objedinjene hitne bolničke prijame. Budući da su bolesnici s učestalim egzacerbacijama osobito rizični, nakon zbrinjavanja u hitnim službama treba im dati jasne preporuke kako bi se buduće egzacerbacije spriječile. Blaže i umjerene egzacerbacije KOPB-a zbrinjavaju se u hitnim službama primjenom bronhodilatatora, kortikosteroida, antibiotika i oksigenoterapijom. U težim egzacerbacijama KOPB-a rana primjena visokoprotočnog kisika preko nosne kanile i neinvazivne mehaničke ventilacije uvelike smanjuje potrebu za primjenom invazivne mehaničke ventilacije i prijamom u Jedinicu intenzivnog liječenja. Cilj ovih smjernica je stvoriti standardizirani pristup zbrinjavanja AEKOPB-a u hitnim službama, kao i standardizirane preporuke u pisanom obliku pri otpustu iz hitnih službi kako bi se liječenje KOPB-a uskladilo i unaprijedilo na svim razinama zdravstvene skrbi.

Anafilaksija je iznenadna, po život opasna reakcija preosjetljivosti s višeorganskim manifestacijama koja zahtijeva hitno zbrinjavanje. Na globalnoj razini, primjećuje se povećanje broja hospitalizacija zbog anafilaktičkog šoka, posebno kod djece. Unatoč ovom porastu, smrtnost ostaje stabilna ili čak pokazuje tendenciju smanjenja, procjenjujući u rasponu od 0,5 do 1,0 smrti na milijun stanovnika. Reakcija preosjetljivosti javlja se kao odgovor na alergen pri čemu su najčešći uzročnici nutritivni alergeni, ubodi insekata i lijekovi. Anafilaktički šok, kao najteži oblik anafilaksije, karakterizira značajan pad krvnog tlaka koji može dovesti do cirkulacijskog zatajenja. Za uspješno liječenje ključno je pravovremeno prepoznavanje simptoma, prekidanje kontakta s alergenom te brza primjena odgovarajuće medikamentozne terapije. Adrenalin se smatra prvim i najvažnijim lijekom u liječenju anafilaktičnog šoka, stoga njegova primjena ne smije biti odgođena. Cilj je ovih kliničkih smjernica prikazati klinički postupnik dijagnostike i liječenja anafilaksije i anafilaktičnog šoka.

Consistent and Correct Use of Condoms With Lubricants and Associated Factors Among Men Who Have Sex With Men from the Ghana Men’s Study II: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Abdulai Ratif , Phalane Edith , Atuahene Kyeremeh , Phaswana-Mafuya Refilwe Nancy
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Men who have sex with men (MSM) experience a disproportionate burden of HIV infection globally, including in Ghana. The use of condoms with lubricants correctly and consistently plays a vital role in reducing the number of new HIV infections among MSM. However, there are concerns about the consistent and correct use of condoms and lubricants among MSM in Ghana. In this regard, there is a need to understand context-specific factors associated with consistent and correct condom use with lubricants.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to determine the current scope of consistent and correct use of condoms with lubricants, associated factors, interventions, and user- and service-related challenges on correct condom and lubricant use among the MSM population in Ghana.

METHODS

The study will use a mixed methods study approach. First, a retrospective analysis of the Ghana Men’s Study II data set involving 4095 MSM will be conducted to determine the scope of consistency and correct use of condoms with lubricants as well as associated factors. The data will be imported into STATA (version 17; StataCorp LLC) to treat missing data and outliers before the analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses will be conducted to determine the associated factors of consistent condom use with lubricants. All statistical analyses will be done at a 95% CI, with significant differences at P<.05. Second, in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of about 15-20 stakeholders will also be conducted to understand contextual issues regarding the factors identified, identify existing interventions for correct condom and lubricant use, user and service-related challenges, and how best to address those challenges from the stakeholders’ perspectives. For qualitative data, thematic analysis will be conducted using Atlas.ti version 23.1.1.

RESULTS

Qualitative and quantitative results will be triangulated together with systematic review results, and key findings will be highlighted and used to guide the development of a predictive model for improving correct and consistent condom use with lubrication among MSM. This protocol paper, part of a doctoral study by the first author (RA), received approval from the Research and Ethics Committee of the University of Johannesburg on May 10, 2024. Data collection commenced on August 20, 2024, and the expected results will be published by October 2025.

CONCLUSIONS

Results from qualitative interviews and secondary data analysis will be triangulated to develop a predictive model to strengthen the correct and consistent use of condoms with condom-compatible lubricants among MSM and other key population groups in Ghana and other parts of sub-Saharan Africa for future pandemic preparedness, policy making, and targeted budget allocation.

Authors: Wibowo Anton Sony , Indrasari Sagung Rai , Herdini Camelia , Purnomosari Dewajani , Ernawati Sulis
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) is the fourth most prevalent cancer in both Indonesia and Asia. Globally, an estimated 133,354 cases and 80,008 deaths have been attributed to NPC. Early diagnosis plays a key role in managing NPC. Molecules found in body fluids, such as saliva, contain compounds (including miRNA) that can aid in detecting diseases like NPC. Further literature studies on expressions, role, use and accuracy of salivary miRNA in nasopharyngeal carcinoma as a potential diagnosis biomarker are needed.

OBJECTIVE

This protocol provides a framework for conducting a scoping review aimed at mapping role, use, and diagnostic accuracy of specific salivary miRNA as a potential diagnosis biomarker for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

METHODS

The guidelines established by the Joanna Briggs Institute will be followed, which include defining the research questions, identifying relevant studies, and selecting studies based on titles and abstracts. The process will involve charting the data, collating, summarizing, and reporting the findings, as well as consultation. The synthesis will specifically examine the expressions, role, use and accuracy of salivary miRNA in nasopharyngeal carcinoma as a potential diagnosis biomarker of NPC. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses will be performed

RESULTS

The selection of studies based on keywords was completed in August 2024, and the study screening and review processes were finished by November 2024. The drafting of the scoping review manuscript is currently underway. The development of this scoping review protocol was supported by funding from the Centre for Higher Education Funding and the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education.

CONCLUSIONS

The findings of this study will offer a comprehensive overview of the expressions, role, use, and diagnostic accuracy of salivary miRNA as a potential diagnosis biomarker for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The findings of this review are expected to serve as a basis for further research.

A Review of the Phytochemistry, Pharmacology, and Traditional Applications of Cissampelos Pareira
Authors: Raza Adnan
Published: December 2024

In Indian traditional medicine, Cissampelos pareira, is a perennial climbing herb that is a member of the
Menispermaceae family and is referred to as Ambastha or Laghu Patha. A review of the literature shows that C. pareira's
phytochemistry and pharmacology have advanced significantly, indicating the plant's enormous therapeutic potential. Numerous
pharmacological effects, including antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic, antiulcer, antidiabetic, anticancer, antifertility,
antibacterial, antioxidant, antivenom, antimalarial, and immunomodulatory properties, have been demonstrated by the crude
extracts of C. pareira.
Fatty acids, flavonoid glycosides, and alkaloids (isoquinoline alkaloids) were detected by HPTLC, HPLC, UPLC, LC-MS, and
GC-MS. Only a limited amount of research has been done on the toxicological evaluation of C. pareira; more thorough research
is needed. Pharmacological investigations of C. pareira through pre-clinical and clinical trials require greater focus in future
studies.
Furthermore, before being used in therapeutic settings, traditional knowledge of C. pareira must be scientifically validated to
guarantee safety, effectiveness, and mechanism of action.

This research is based on the charismatic spirit, Buya Husni Thamrin's philosophy in leading or managing the Qodratullah Islamic boarding school in Langkan Village can develop rapidly and develop as it is today. The Islamic boarding school under the leadership of Buya Husni Thamrin has experienced extraordinary innovations that are worthy of being used as a model like other Islamic boarding schools in Banyuasin, therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the extent of Buya Husni Thamrin's charismatic influence or role in leading and developing the Qodratullah Islamic boarding school in Langkan Village. This research is a type of field research. The research method is a qualitative method, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews and documentation. From the overall results of the study, it shows that Buya KH. M. Husni Thamrin Madani is a pesantren leader who distinguishes himself from kyai in general through a unique combination of traditional kyai charisma with visionary, innovative, dynamic, and adaptive nature. While charisma allows him to lead with conviction and assertiveness, what sets him apart is his visionary ability to look ahead, be innovative in implementing modern educational programs, be dynamic in adapting to changing times, and be adaptive to the surrounding environment. The novelty in this study is that Islamic boarding schools in Banyuasin Regency must innovate and transform as carried out by Buya Husni Thamrin that Islamic boarding schools must keep up with the times. By combining traditional values with modern thinking, Buya Husni Thamrin Madani is able to lead the pesantren in a more progressive way, advance religious education, and meet the needs of the community in facing the challenges of the times.
Analysis of the prospects for developing methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of municipal governance
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Vershinina Yulia
Published: December 2024

Introduction. Ensuring stability and a high level of rates of socio-economic development of the country and growth in citizens’ quality of life, the authorities operate under conditions of limited resources. This requires improvement of management efficiency and qualitatively formulated indicators for assessing the effectiveness of the authorities’ activities. One of the reasons for the difficulty in formulating indicators is the identification of state and municipal governance. The purpose of the study is to separate the effectiveness of municipal governance from the effectiveness of public administration. Methods. Within the framework of the research on the basis of the method of interpretation and system approach the following analysis was applied: scientific publications, normative legal acts, statistical data. Scientific novelty of the study. The concept of a new method of assessing the effectiveness of municipal governance is proposed. Results. The works of Russian and foreign scientists were considered to identify approaches to assessing the effectiveness of state and municipal governance. Domestic and foreign methods of efficiency assessment have been studied. Regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation regulating the efficiency assessment of state and local government bodies were analyzed in order to compare the efficiency assessment indicators. The concept of a new method of assessing the effectiveness of municipal governance by compiling a universal list of indicators has been proposed. Conclusions. One of the two approaches to assessing the efficiency of state and municipal governance is generalizing - the assessment of municipal governance efficiency is carried out similarly to the assessment of public administration efficiency. The second approach is differentiating - the assessment of the effectiveness of municipal governance differs from the assessment of the effectiveness of public administration, while taking into account the impossibility of full autonomy. There are a number of common shortcomings in the methods of assessing the efficiency of government performance: the current indicators do not allow to unambiguously assess the result of government performance; the indicators for assessing the efficiency of municipal government are of a private nature.
Imagination and skil vs computer algorithms for artistic creativity
Authors:   National University of Oil and Gas «Gubkin University», Uymina Olga
Published: December 2024

Aesthetic theory distinguishes different approaches to understanding the sensory and logical. The author agrees with I. Kant’s theory that sensory perception is subjective and the imagination is given the opportunity to invent fictional characters that do not exist in real life. Digital technologies make it possible to revive and introduce such characters into an artistic performance. This process becomes possible with the help of computer algorithms that are used to create art practices. There are many contradictory publications where there is no understanding of the technological process of the task at hand, for example, that it is possible to write a program that will “teach machine aesthetics” using pictures. Therefore, the author turns to three technological solutions (virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence or neural networks) and examines, using the example of existing programs and applications, how the process of interacting computer algorithms of artistic creativity with the imagination and skill of stage work directors (play, opera, choreography). The author solves this issue within the framework of algorithmic aesthetics, which considers the process of communication, but unlike media theory, considers the process of information exchange in binary code. The algorithms by which the written programs operate do not create a “code spirit”, but allow the creation of tools for artistic creativity and the development of the skills of talented people.

Inmate Assimilation Policy from a Political Perspective on National Security During the Covid 19 Pandemic
Authors: Romadhon Aditya , Sutan Arissy Jorgi , Ahmad Zakly Hanafi , Anshori M. Wira
Published: December 2024

The covid-19 pandemic has created a global crisis impacting various sectors, including national security. One of the Indonesian government’s responses to the pandemic was the inmate assimilation policy aimed at reducing the risk of virus transmission in overcrowded correctional facilities. This study employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach to analyze the inmate assimilation policy from a political perspective and its implications for national security. The findings indicate that the policy has significant implications for national security, raising concerns about increased crime rates within society. Key challenges in implementing this policy include economic crises, insufficient supervision, and social stigma against former inmates. Additionally, the policy highlights tensions between public health priorities and national security, where weak supervision can trigger social instability. Inadequate social reintegration further exacerbates the challenges faced by former inmates struggling to readjust. This study recommends the need for data-driven policy evaluations, enhanced inter-agency coordination, and strengthened social reintegration efforts to mitigate the policy's negative impact on social stability and national security in the future.
Dickens and the Variations/Nominations Game-2: The Mystery of Edwin Drood and the Wanders of the Genre
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Haltrin-Khalturina Elena V.
Published: December 2024

Dickens's unfinished novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood is often referred to in Russia as a detective novel, the repu- tation it earned during The Golden Age of Detective Fiction, that is a few decades after the book's first publication. The Dickens schol- ars keep track of the history of the novel’s reception, of the shifting ideas concerning the work’s genre and the nature of the “mystery” of the title. It is known that, starting from 1870, Dickens's followers have been attempting to think up a continuation for the novel in various, and not just detective, modes. Among the employed forms and genre varieties one might mention the Victorian “triple decker”, a sensational narrative, a Christmas gothic story, a psychological narrative about the split personality of a criminal, a confession of a drug addict, various play trials, adaptations for the theater (starting in 1870) and for cinema (starting in 1909), post- modern interactive performances, etc. It is noteworthy that scholars manage to exhaustively describe the plethora of sequels to The Mystery of Edwin Drood with the help of traditional terminology, such as “continuation”, “version”, “imitation”, “adaptation”, etc. Up to the present, the scholarly discourse kept easily doing with- out the fan terminology, which is appearing within mass media culture (cf. spin-offs, parallelquels, reboots, crossovers, etc.), since it is hardly helpful in uncovering principally new perspectives on literary texts.
POLÍTICAS LINGUÍSTICAS DO PARAGUAI NA DITADURA DE STROESSNER
Authors: Schmidt Machado Raul Felipe
Published: December 2024

O Paraguai é historicamente um país plurilíngue que se tornou monolíngue guarani com uma pequena elite hispano falante que impôs o espanhol, língua do colonizador, como língua de Estado. Atualmente o país é oficialmente bilíngue guarani-espanhol desde 1992, mas o primeiro reconhecimento oficial da língua guarani ocorreu durante a ditadura de Stroessner em 1967. Através do aparato teórico-metodológico de Bernard Spolsky se analisou as políticas linguísticas durante a ditadura de Stroessner, observando a gestão, as práticas e os valores linguísticos em questão. O que se percebe é a instrumentalização política da defesa da língua guarani associada a um nacionalismo conservador exaltado pelo governo ditatorial que pouco modifica a situação concreta dos falantes de guarani e das ideologias linguísticas diglóssicas.
POLÍTICAS LINGUÍSTICAS: UM CASO DE COOFICIALIZAÇÃO DA LÍNGUA ALEMÃ
Authors: Ruscheinsky Elena Wendling , Frizzo Celina Eliane , Krug Marcelo Jacó
Published: December 2024

A Declaração Universal dos Direitos Linguísticos é pouco conhecida pela população e principalmente por aqueles a quem ela mais possa interessar. De acordo com este documento, os falantes de outras línguas, que não são oficiais em um determinado território, têm direito e estão livres para usá-las em suas vidas sem sofrer qualquer tipo de discriminação, exclusão e perseguição. Este estudo propõe-se a apresentar os conceitos de linguicídio e linguicismo com premissa nos direitos linguísticos, bem como nos três componentes de uma política linguística (práticas, crenças e gestão), e relacioná-los com  a Lei de cooficialização do alemão no município de São João do Oeste - SC, pautando-se especialmente nos pressupostos teóricos de Skutnabb-Kangas (2019); Skutnabb-Kangas e Phillipson (1995; 2017), Spolsky (2007; 2009; 2016), entre outros, além de fontes históricas sobre o município e a Lei de cooficialização nº1685/2016. Os resultados mostram que, antes da cooficialização em 2016, ocorreram ações para atribuir prestígio à variedade alemã e que a lei, o decreto no 83/2009 e o contexto em que ela atua envolvem os três componentes descritíveis interligados propostos por Spolsky (2007; 2009; 2016), o que a legitima como uma política linguística. Porém, ao analisar o que postula a lei, percebemos que esta política está voltada para atrair turistas e pouco representa os falantes ou garante os direitos linguísticos de um grupo minoritário.

O artigo propõe discorrer sobre aspectos ético-metodológicos de estudos realizados com crianças em uma análise que emerge de campos distintos, uma comunidade em conflito socioespacial em Recife (PE) e uma prisão feminina de uma cidade nordestina de grande porte. Debruçamo-nos sobre a escolha de recursos metodológicos utilizados nesses trabalhos a partir das especificidades de cada campo. Nessa propositura, enunciaremos o desenho e a fotografia, consubstanciando-os às razões do (não) uso em observância às questões éticas. Pontuaremos as técnicas comuns utilizadas nessas análises microssociais e suas ressignificações realizadas pelas crianças em agenciamentos e afecções. Evocaremos os fenômenos sociais a partir da percepção da criança, da valorização de sua fala. O trabalho de campo na comunidade recifense aponta a participação política das crianças sobre a emblemática do processo de desocupação experienciado. Na prisão feminina, emerge a criança como ator social que promove a humanização da pena de suas mães em meio à produção de vida que se dá pelos afetos por meio de dádivas.

Brazil is already a developer and large user of space applications. Like other emerging countries, such as China and India, Brazil cannot give up participation in future explorations of deep space, even knowing the restrictions imposed by central countries on access to sensitive technologies, including nuclear and space. This article advocates the need for Brazil to initiate a line of research in space nuclear propulsion, in order to guarantee the possibility of access to deep space. To this end, arguments are presented to justify embracing this challenge, confronting the motivations and ambitious programs of other emerging powers. The rare window of opportunity that still exists is highlighted, as the international movement to restrict the possession of fissile material, essential for nuclear propulsion, is growing. A governmental planning study is summarized, carried out according to the methodology of the Escola Superior de Guerra, aiming to establish this line of research. The results relating to the exploration of scenarios, the definition of State objectives and the proposition of a strategic conception stand out. It is noteworthy that the proposal takes advantage of an initial infrastructure already existing in the General Aerospace Technology Command (CTA), and that the resources required are significantly modest compared to the immeasurable potential of deep space exploration.

The goal of this paper is to verify how the risk factors such as, type of helicopter, total fligth hours, fligth hours with nigth vision goggles (NVG) and physical condition have been factors of influence on the prevalence of cervical pain in those pilots. In the hope of finding the cause of those pains among the Brazilian Air Force Helicopter Pilots. A questionnaire was applied to 110 HP, from five different squadrons and 75 were returned. The predominance founded was about 21.3% for a period of six months. The descriptive statistics was used to analyze the obtained data and the results which showed that those factors of risk, when observed separately,does not seem to have influence over that kind of predominance. Although, the association of two factors, the total fligth hours and the type of helicopter, are indicatios that they may cause some influence in that malady

Authors: Arêdes Aída
Published: December 2024

The hypoxia that occurs during the flight of the depressurized Embraer P-95 Bandeirulha may endanger the safety and welfare of all crew members and, consequently, of the passengers. The Brazilian Air Force has four squads which implement the Maritime Patrol, all of them equipped with the P-95. This study aimed to verify the influence of non pressurized air activity over the changes in the aircrew erythrogram. To do so, a comparison between the 4°/7° Aviation Group (4°/7° GAV) percentual erythrogram and a control group composed of non aircrew military. To conduct this work, bibliographic and documentary researches were done with the medical records. Through a comparative analysis of the erythrogram reference values and the control group, an increase in the number of erythrocyte and a decrease in the erythrocytic index values in 4°/7° GAV aircrew were detected. These results indicate that hypoxia prevention measures in unpressurized flights may be better implemented and monitored.

Published: December 2024

The research investigates how the sustainability criteria are being applied by the Aeronautical Command Units in bidding for procurement of works and engineering services, linking them to the level of investment in these objects. The national development, as contemplated in granting subsidiary Air Force Basic Doctrine, is the main goal of sustainable procurement, a leading developer of environmental industry. Moreover, the practice of sustainability has great projection in the image of the organizations that use them, linking them to socially responsible institutions. The survey was conducted from data obtained through questionnaires answered by experienced managers of their organizations, creating a table that quantifies the  degree of implementation of sustainability criteria. This degree was confronted with data obtained from the Website of  Transparency, quantifying the investment of these units under construction and engineering services. Finally, the  investments were treated as units of micro, small businesses and large enterprises. The following results were obtained: organizations apply sustainability criteria partially analogous to company size, however, there are still organizations that fit differently to this expectation, and the degree of application of sustainability criteria is associated to the existence of internal norms formally instituted in organizations. Given the results analyzed, we noticed the importance of creating a sustainable program specific to hiring the Air Force Command efficient and standardized.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the crisis faced by the Real, Panair and Cruzeiro do Sul airlines companies in the period between 1950 until 1970, as well as the introduction of new technologies in this area, like the jet plane. The used methodology was the analysis of the informative documents of the studied companies; from the bibliographic sources about the subject, the media reports, the specialized websites and the specific laws of the airline sector, in order to reflect about the proposed questions. It was concluded that the problems had several causes, such as: the external dependence of countries which manufacture aeronautical technology; the exchange variations, the petrol price; and the formulation of a clear and continuous aeronautics policy focusing on the development of an own aeronautical industry. The strong competition, most of the time predatory, between the private companies and the planes low occupancy, besides the management problems and the lack of planning, contributed to increase the crisis. The fusion of the companies and the strong competition marked that period.
Emprego do Radar de Abertura Sintética em missões de busca marítima
Authors: Leite Breno Ricardo de Araújo
Published: December 2024

The aim of this study is to establish a critical comparison between the execution and conduction model of maritime search and rescue mission described by Brazilian legislation and the methodology employed in the use of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) of R-99 aircraft, during the Air France 447 accident, in order to identify common elements and differences in the concepts, approaches or requirements. The methodology used consisted of compiling data from various sources connected to the aim and then submit them to Thematic and Interpretive Analysis. The concepts and ideas related to the research were applied to the Concept Maps technique. The map generated was analysed and showed that only few concepts and aspects of SAR from R-99 are properly described in the Brazilian normative documents and some were mistakenly described. On the other hand, the academic community studies corroborate with the methodology used by the crew of the R-99 during the searches of Air France 447. Having this information, the competent authorities will have at its disposal the necessary subsidies to consider the need of a Search and Rescue manuals review to provide to the Mission’s Coordinators all necessary information for the correct use of SAR.

The Synthetic Aperture Radar of R-99 aircraft (SAR R-99) has many operations modes and the Interferometric SAR (InSAR) is one of the most important. The main objective of InSAR is to generate a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) that permits visualization of images in three dimensions and generation of topographic maps. It will be used in the Cartography of Amazon Project, but there aren’t many studies about the accuracy of this data, specifically about the altimetry. Thus, the aim of this study is to compare the altimetry of the DEM generated by the SAR R-99 with the DEM generated from a topographic map and classify it in accordance with the Cartographic Accuracy Standard (Padrão de Exatidão Cartográfica - PEC) and the National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) from the evaluation of the accuracy of altimetry. For the statistical analysis we selected samples in the topographic DEM and its counterparts in the DEM of the SAR R-99, whose distribution and spacing followed the criteria of the methodology of NSSDA. Considering the values of heights for both DEMs, we calculated the existing correlation, and the result was sufficient to conclude that the DEM of SAR R-99 generated by InSAR mode fits the specifications for Class “A” on the scale 1/100.000 in accordance with the PEC.
