Análise das internações por condições sensíveis à atenção primária à saúde na região sul do estado do Rio de Janeiro durante a pandemia da COVID-19: um estudo de caso
Authors: Gama João Vitor Ponciano , Silva Marcos Alex Mendes da
Published: July 2022

Introdução: As internações por condições sensíveis à atenção primária (ICSAP) são indicadores da atividade hospitalar e da atenção primária à saúde (APS). Quando abrangente e resolutiva, a APS é capaz de reduzir essas internações, juntamente de outros fatores. O estudo busca avaliar a evolução das ICSAP em um município do estado do Rio de Janeiro durante a pandemia da COVID-19.  Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de caso, observacional, com dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares. O número de ICSAP no município de Vassouras entre agosto de 2017 e agosto de 2021 foi adotado como unidade de medida. Resultados: As ICSAP corresponderam a 10,20% de todas as internações, com tendência de queda durante o período. Acidente vascular cerebral, não especificado como hemorrágico ou isquêmico, e insuficiência cardíaca foram as principais causas, representando mais de 60% das ICSAP. As condições do aparelho respiratório tiveram tendência de queda. Discussão: Vassouras teve uma taxa de ICSAP menor que a dos municípios e das capitais do Brasil, e a sua redução indica maior acesso e desempenho da APS. As condições mais prevalentes refletem a transição epidemiológica e outros indicadores locais. Considerações finais: A APS do município de Vassouras apresenta bom desempenho e cobertura, que se mantiveram mesmo na pandemia da COVID-19, com redução das internações por condições respiratórias.

The authors attempted to operationalize the clinical work of strategic theorist and expert family therapist, Scott Browning. Strategic therapy takes the position that a client is stuck, not necessarily sick. This focus encourages the clinician to create alternative perspectives such that a client learns to consider a problem from a new lens. Milton Erickson, a progenitor of strategic thinking, used hypnosis and paradox to nudge clients toward a useful alternative perspective [1]. The present article examined three interventions that have strategic roots. The specific application of these three interventions, demonstrated through the work of Browning’s therapy, provide unique application of strategic ideas. First, the authors compare and contrast Browning and Erickson’s [1] application of directional and non-directional paradox. Second, the well-established technique of systemic reframe is explored, along with application of acceptance. Next, empathy is discussed in the context of the common factor of therapeutic alliance [2] and Browning’s understanding of empathy. Finally, the importance of language in psychotherapy is particularly powerful in the context of hypnosis [1]. Browning’s semantic thoroughness and the concept of non-blaming precision in clinical work was discussed.

Authors: Ramos-Castellá Alma Laura , Iglesias-Andreu Lourdes Georgina
Published: July 2022

Las vainas de la vainilla (Vanilla planifolia Jacks. ex Andrew) son la fuente natural de vainillina e internacionalmente son consideradas un producto de alto valor comercial. Sin embargo, el cultivo de vainilla presenta varios problemas que han impulsado el desarrollo de investigaciones para su mejoramiento genético mediante diversas estrategias. Estas investigaciones han desarrollado trabajos de prospección para establecer bancos de germoplasma y evaluado la hibridación sexual intra e interespecífica. Además, han empleado herramientas biotecnológicas, particularmente las basadas en el uso de las técnicas de cultivo de tejidos vegetales, para conservar in vitro el germoplasma disponible. Asimismo, han intentado ampliar la base genética combinando la inducción de mutagénesis con técnicas de selección ante diferentes agentes de estrés, hacer hibridación somática mediante fusión de protoplastos y usar técnicas de ingeniería genética para la inserción de genes. A pesar de que el mejoramiento de vainilla se inició desde mediados del siglo pasado, solo se ha registrado una variedad de vainilla a nivel mundial. A la fecha, la biotecnología está impulsando la generación y selección de material promisorio, sin embargo, aún faltan más resultados de campo que muestren una etapa avanzada de estos trabajos de mejoramiento. En conclusión, aún quedan aspectos por retomar en el mejoramiento de este valioso cultivo.

Authors: Ospina-Salazar Daniel Iván , Cortez-Hernández Luis Gerardo , Benavides-Bolaños Jhony Armando , Zúñiga-Escobar Orlando
Published: July 2022

Magnetically treated water (MTW) has been used to promote biomass yield in different crops. Tabasco pepper is a high water-demanding crop often cultivated in areas with limited water supply. This study aims to evaluate the effect of MTW on the physiology and biomass yield of Tabasco pepper under water deficit. The experiment consisted of two groups of randomly distributed plants receiving normal water and MTW at two irrigation levels (100 % and 50 % of field capacity, FC) during the whole life cycle under mesh-house. Water was magnetically treated with a commercial irrigation device. Fruit biomass, photosynthesis, water potential, and leaf tissue status were measured. Fruit yield showed a non-significant increase in plants with MTW at both irrigation levels, although large- and medium-sized effects were detected regarding dry weight and fruits per plant (> 16 % increase). Concerning photosynthesis parameters, only quantum yield significantly increased, even though net assimilation and stomatal conductance exhibited a 17 % and 28 % increment, respectively. At 50 % FC, photosynthetic parameters and leaf water potential were severely impaired no matter the treatment used, but surprisingly, relative water content and electrolyte leakage in leaves were not significantly affected. Despite the minor physiological effects of MTW observed in this study, the size effect on fruit yield was noticeable at the end of the experiments. Hence, the application of MTW could help improve water use efficiency in Tabasco pepper in combination with reduced irrigation strategies.

Published: July 2022

Background

Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder and the foremost health concern among workers. We developed a new sleep prompt app (SPA) for smartphones to positively alter the users' consciousness and behavior by sending timely short messages for mild sleep problems at an early stage.

Objective

The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the SPA in providing brief personalized therapy for insomnia among workers.

Methods

We conducted a 2-arm parallel randomized controlled trial. The intervention group used the SPA, and the control group received no intervention. Participants were recruited between November 2020 and January 2021. The researcher sent emails for recruitment to more than 3000 workers of 2 companies and 1 university in Japan. The SPA provided personalized prompt messages, sleep diaries, sleep hygiene education, stimulus control therapy, and sleep restriction therapy. The prompt messages were sent automatically to the participants to encourage them to improve their sleep habits and sleep status and were optimized to the individual's daily rhythm. The intervention program duration was 4 weeks. The primary outcome was a change in the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) for the study period. The ISI was obtained weekly using a web questionnaire.

Results

A total of 116 Japanese workers (intervention group n=60, control group n=56) with sleep disorders were recruited. Two participants in the intervention group were excluded from the analyses because of challenges in installing the SPA. The mean ISI scores at baseline were 9.2 for both groups; however, after 4 weeks, the mean ISI scores declined to 6.8 and 8.0 for the intervention and control groups, respectively. Primary analysis using a linear mixed model showed a significant improvement in the temporal trends of the ISI in the SPA group and in the total population (P=.03). Subgroup analyses of ISI-8-insomniacs revealed a significant improvement in the temporal trends of ISI in the SPA group (P=.01), and the CFS score for physical condition significantly improved following the intervention (P=.02).

Conclusions

This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the SPA in providing brief personalized therapy for insomnia among Japanese workers with mild insomnia. The physical fatigue score significantly improved in ISI-8-insomniacs. Thus, SPA could play an important role in reducing the adverse effects of sleep disorders in workers. To promote the wide use of the SPA in the future, further studies are required to examine its effectiveness in other age groups and individuals with health problems.

Contributions of Trustworthiness, Health Literacy, and Self-Efficacy in Communicating With COVID-19 Vaccine–Hesitant Audiences: Web-Based Survey Study
Authors: Weerakoon Sitara M , Henson-Garcia Mike , Valerio-Shewmaker Melissa A , Messiah Sarah E , Knell Gregory
Published: July 2022

Background

Large-scale health communication challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as widespread misinformation and distrust in health care professionals, have influenced reluctance to take the COVID-19 vaccine, also known as vaccine hesitancy. Trust in health professionals, adequate health literacy, and high self-efficacy are key components of actively pursuing preventative and protective health care measures. These factors may be associated with intentions to seek and complete a COVID-19 vaccine dosing.

Objective

The objective of this analysis was to identify factors associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy.

Methods

In February 2021, US adults (N=5872) responded to a web-based survey on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and components of health communication (trust in sources of health information, health literacy, and self-efficacy). Multivariable logistic regression models were used to explore associations between these factors and vaccine hesitancy while adjusting for key demographics. We hypothesized that low levels of trust, health literacy, and self-efficacy would be associated with increased vaccine hesitancy.

Results

The adjusted odds of vaccine hesitancy was greater among those who placed little to no trust in health professionals compared to those who held a lot of trust (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 8.54, 95% CI 6.52-11.19). The odds of vaccine hesitancy was also greater among those who felt frustrated about finding health information compared to those who did not (AOR 2.10, 95% CI 1.62-2.70). Participants who had little to no confidence in receiving health advice or information had greater odds of vaccine hesitancy compared to those who had a lot of confidence (AOR 3.05, 95% CI 2.34-3.97).

Conclusions

This study underscores the importance of trust between health professionals and their patients, and a need for improving health literacy regarding vaccines. Perceptions of mistrust and low levels of health literacy were associated with high levels of vaccine hesitancy, providing empirical support of framing these factors as perceived barriers to vaccine uptake.
Single-Session Interventions Embedded Within Tumblr: Acceptability, Feasibility, and Utility Study
Authors: Dobias Mallory L , Morris Robert R , Schleider Jessica L
Published: July 2022

Background

Existing mental health treatments are insufficient for addressing mental health needs at scale, particularly for teenagers, who now seek mental health information and support on the web. Single-session interventions (SSIs) may be particularly well suited for dissemination as embedded web-based support options that are easily accessible on popular social platforms.

Objective

We aimed to evaluate the acceptability and effectiveness of three SSIs, each with a duration of 5 to 8 minutes (Project Action Brings Change, Project Stop Adolescent Violence Everywhere, and REFRAME)—embedded as Koko minicourses on Tumblr—to improve three key mental health outcomes: hopelessness, self-hate, and the desire to stop self-harm behavior.

Methods

We used quantitative data (ie, star ratings and SSI completion rates) to evaluate acceptability and short-term utility of all 3 SSIs. Paired 2-tailed t tests were used to assess changes in hopelessness, self-hate, and the desire to stop future self-harm from before to after the SSI. Where demographic information was available, the analyses were restricted to teenagers (13-19 years). Examples of positive and negative qualitative user feedback (ie, written text responses) were provided for each program.

Results

The SSIs were completed 6179 times between March 2021 and February 2022. All 3 SSIs generated high star ratings (>4 out of 5 stars), with high completion rates (approximately 25%-57%) relative to real-world completion rates among other digital self-help interventions. Paired 2-tailed t tests detected significant pre-post reductions in hopelessness for those who completed Project Action Brings Change (P<.001, Cohen dz=−0.81, 95% CI −0.85 to −0.77) and REFRAME (P<.001, Cohen dz=−0.88, 95% CI −0.96 to −0.80). Self-hate significantly decreased (P<.001, Cohen dz=−0.67, 95% CI −0.74 to −0.60), and the desire to stop self-harm significantly increased (P<.001, Cohen dz=0.40, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.47]) from before to after the completion of Project Stop Adolescent Violence Everywhere. The results remained consistent across sensitivity analyses and after correcting for multiple tests. Examples of positive and negative qualitative user feedback point toward future directions for SSI research.

Conclusions

Very brief SSIs, when embedded within popular social platforms, are one promising and acceptable method for providing free, scalable, and potentially helpful mental health support on the web. Considering the unique barriers to mental health treatment access that many teenagers face, this approach may be especially useful for teenagers without access to other mental health supports.
Qualitative Evaluation of Land Suitability for Olive, Potato and Cotton Cultivation in Tarom in Zanjan
Authors: Shiri Zahra Mirzae , Farbodi Manochehr
Published: July 2022

The use of soil as one of the main factors in the manufacture of agricultural products for human consumption must be carried out using the right basis and scientific principles. One of the ways to achieve this important goal is to assess land suitability for common crops in the study area. It is also necessary to determine product compatibility based on the soil and climate conditions to reduce the risk of investment because there is no history of the studied plant’s cultivation in the region. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the suitability of land for cotton, potato, and olive crops at the bottom of the valley in Tadarom in Tarom region, Zanjan province to ensure proper use planning. After sampling and performing physical, chemical, and profile tests using the classification key of 2014, the soils were classified into different Aridi Sols categories, namely Typic calcigypsids, haplocambids, and torriortent. The climate, soil, and terrain data of the area were then collected from the relevant agencies. Land suitability assessment for olive, potato, and cotton was also performed using the simple constraint, parametric, FAO system methods. The evaluation results showed that the Tahdareh area with series 1 soils was in the not suitable (N) and subclass (Ns) categories using the history and second root methods, respectively with depth and pebbles as the limiting factors. Meanwhile, soil series 2, 3, 4, and 5 were placed in the critical fit (S3 ) and proportionality (S2 ) classes by the story and second root methods, respectively, where they were hindered by drainage. Evaluation of these lands for potato crop by story method for series 1, 2 and 3 shows that they were in Ns class, while 4 was in the proportionality (S3 ) category with lime as the limiting factor. The non suitable class was obtained using the story method (N) for series 2, 3, 4 and 5 and they were hindered by soil depth, while class S3 was obtained for all the soils with the texture and gravel as limit factors. The results showed that the studied lands were relatively suitable for olive groves and the conditions can be improved with corrective factors for drainage and the amount of gravel. The storytelling method has very strict output while presenting its results. The study area was considered a land with critical fit (S3 ) class for olive cultivation, but it was not very consistent with field observations. Furthermore, the second root method had the greatest compliance with the existing realities in the region and it can be considered the most reliable parametric technique in the qualitative assessment of land suitability.

Published: July 2022

In this paper, we determine the Randić energy of the m-splitting graph, the m-shadow graph and the m-duplicate graph of a given graph, m being an arbitrary integer. Our results allow the construction of an infinite sequence of graphs having the same Randić energy. Further, we determine some graph invariants like the degree Kirchhoff index, the Kemeny’s constant and the number of spanning trees of some special graphs. From our results, we indicate how to obtain infinitely many pairs of equienergetic graphs, Randić equienergetic graphs and also, infinite families of integral graphs.

The Challenges of Small and Medium Businesses in Managing Human Capital towards SMEs Performance – A Qualitative Study
Authors: Kamall Khan Yasmin , Kasuma Jati , Ali Azrin
Published: July 2022

Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: Currently, machinery is replacing most human capital to save cost, but the value of human capital that contributes to the performance of SMEs is invaluable. SMEs were used to explain the connection between human capital and SMEs performance in South Australia. Design/Methodology/Approach: Five case studies on SMEs in South Australia were used in this study. The analysis of qualitative data entailed data coding, within-case analysis, and cross-case analysis. Research findings: The cross-case analysis result is unsurprising considering that all five firms depend on their employees to work and keep the firm in operation. The cross-case analysis results are mixed in respect to the connection between human capital and the several types of performance measurement. The results, therefore, need to be interpreted with caution. SMEs perform solely through the skills, experience, and knowledge of their employees. This distinction occurs when the knowledge and information that employees gain are focused directly on the employee’s initiative, decision-making and critical thinking skills. Investment in human capital should be done carefully based on the limited resources of SMEs. Theoretical contribution/Originality: Most research has shown the link between human capital and firm performance. However, the degree to which investment in human capital contributes to the type of performance is yet to be explored based on qualitative data especially regarding SMEs in South Australia. Practitioner/policy implication: The sustainable development goal (SDG) entails a steady improvement in people’s well-being in a good environment. Thus, decisions about investment in human capital and the use of temporary workers should be taken jointly by personnel managers, in accordance with the size of the firm. If this holistic view is ignored, a full understanding of the impact of human capital on the firm’s performance will be obscured. On the other hand, a common feature that large and small firms share is an incompatibility between human capital and temporary employment. Research limitation/implications: The main limitation of this study was the sample of the study that comprised solely of South Australia SMEs. Thus, this study outcome may not be generalisable to the whole Australia as a country. Further investigation across different states would expand knowledge of the complicated patterns of HC.

Manuscript type: Research Paper Research aims: This study aims to examine the impacts of socialpolitical context and government control on the relationship between corporate philanthropy and firm performance using the listed firms’ data on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX). Design/Methodology/Approach: This study uses multiple regression analysis to study the relationship between corporate philanthropy and firm performance using 2012-2018 Hong Kong listed firm data. Empirical results show a positive association between the current and lagged corporate philanthropy and financial performance. Subgroup analysis shows that the relationship is contingent on the socio-political and government control factors. Our subgroup analysis reveals that Hong Kong firms benefit more from corporate philanthropy than Mainland China firms, and non-government control mainland private firms have a stronger positive relationship than the state-owned enterprises. Our results support social impact theory and political connection theory. Theoretical contribution/Originality: Our study bridges the gap of prior studies on the philanthropy-corporate finance relationship by isolating the separate effect of socio-political context impact and government ownership. We believe we are the first study in this respect. Our findings validate the results of prior studies in general and suggest the empirical results based on transitional economy data is, to some extent, generalisable. Practitioner/Policy implication: Contemporary data provides empirical evidences that corporate philanthropy could elicit positive responses from stakeholders to bolster corporate financial performance, except firms under government control. The positive impact of donation was immediate with a lasting effect as suggested in the literature and the result would be relevant for regulators in formulating policies regarding corporate social performance. Research limitation/Implication: Similar to previous studies, corporate philanthropy is proxy by the monetary amount of donation in this study. However, the context of corporate philanthropy very often goes beyond monetary donations and the findings may not apply to firms making substantial non-monetary donations.

Manuscript type: Research paper Research aims: This study aims to investigate the effect of risk disclosure and CEO age on the operational efficiency. Design/Methodology/Approach: A quantitative study was undertaken on 130 manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange in 2019. Risk disclosure was evaluated through the content analysis, while operational efficiency was measured using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique. The data was analysed by utilising weighted least square regression. Research findings: Results show that risk disclosure positively affects operational efficiency. The effect on CEO’s age however, is not substantial. These findings imply that a company becomes more efficient when it discloses more risk, while the CEO’s age has no bearing on the efficiency attained. Risk disclosure operates as a form of risk awareness that demonstrates management’s commitment to resolving the problems. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study addresses the gap in the literature by empirically assessing how risk disclosure affect firms’ efficiency in developing countries. It also expands on previous literature by considering CEO age as determinant of the efficiency. The findings of the study support the stakeholder theory in which a company must consider its key stakeholders, especially those who encourage it to improve its efficiency, and hence, risk disclosure is required. Practitioner/Policy implications: This research suggests companies to disclose more to improve operational efficiency. It also recommends investors to invest in firms committed to risk disclosure. Research limitation/Implications: In this study, risk disclosure was measured by the number of risks disclosed in the annual report and did not consider other sources. Therefore, future studies should further explore risk disclosure in different media, such as the newspaper, corporate websites, and social medias. Additionally, this study was conducted based on one industry sector, and hence, future studies may incorporate broader range of industries to capture the impact of CEO characteristics.

Objective: We sought to explore whether obstetrics and gynecology (Ob-Gyn) ambulatory clinic preceptors can maintain their clinical productivity with a learner (medical student) present.
Methods: We studied the productivity of five exemplary Ob-Gyn faculty over the 2016-2017 academic year. We used paired two-tailed t tests to compare physician productivity with and without a student. Faculty were interviewed and qualitative analyses were performed on faculty interview data to identify themes used to create sample best-practice workflows for student involvement in the clinic.
Results: Three faculty had significant increases in relative value units (RVUs) per clinic half-day when a medical student was present (11%-31% increase, P<.05). Four faculty had average increases in net charges billed per clinic half-day ranging from $172.39 to $343.14. One faculty preceptor had a decrease in RVUs and charges billed when a student was present, which was not statistically significant. Themes derived from faculty interviews regarding their incorporation of medical students in the clinic included setting expectations, allowing students to assist with clinic workflow, note-writing, and efficient use of time and clinic space. In an iterative feedback process, we developed ideal workflow models for student involvement during clinic visits with and without a procedure.
Conclusion: This mixed-methods pilot study suggests that medical students do not impede clinician productivity when utilized effectively in the outpatient setting. Further contemporary research is needed to assess the impact of learners on ambulatory clinician productivity in light of Medicare policy changes and modifications in medical education due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Padrões sedimentológicos e morfológicos de uma enseada numa lagoa costeira micromaré: Lagoa dos Patos, sul do Brasil

Published: July 2022

Este trabalho apresenta as características batimétricas e sedimentológicas do Saco da Mangueira, uma enseada marginal semi-fechada, localizada ao sul da cidade do Rio Grande (RS), que se comunica com o estuário da Lagoa dos Patos através de uma estreita comunicação. Sua configuração batimétrica é predominantemente rasa, com profundidade média de 0,8 m e profundidade máxima de 9 m, próximo ao canal de ligação com o estuário. A orientação da enseada em relação aos ventos predominantes, a baixa profundidade, a disponibilidade de sedimentos e a elevada hidrodinâmica determinam sua morfologia atual com a presença de esporões arenosos típicos de enseadas estuarinas em região de micromaré.  Com base na textura de fundo, sete classes texturais foram identificadas e associadas a quatro níveis de energia hidrodinâmica. De um modo geral, o grau de classificação diminui em direção as regiões de maior profundidade. A maior parte da enseada está condicionada a presença de areia fina (>90%). Com o aumento da profundidade, a quantidade de silte e argila aumenta e tipos de fundo com percentagens variando entre 10 e 90% de areia são encontrados.

Crato Formation, NE Brazil, consists of laminated limestones deposited in a lacustrine environment during the Early Cretaceous. The Nova Olinda Member, the lowest unit of the Crato Formation, is world-famous for their exceptionally well-preserved fossils. The Nova Olinda limestones have been economically exploited for centuries. Today, this commercial excavation still represents the main economic activity in the region. During the mining process, the quarry workers have developed an informal stratigraphic code to individualize the different beds in the quarries. Upward, the local workers recognize the succession as “lajão dos sete cortes”, “matracão", “lajão branco", “pão de milho”, “veio da paiba”, "veio doidão”, “lajão amarelo” and “veio do besouro”. Here, we used principles of ethnostratigraphy to verify the origin and validity of these informal stratigraphic nomenclatures by classifying them as ethnostra. For this, we applied a detailed petrographical analysis with thin sections and high-resolution X-ray techniques to characterize each ethnostratum. Our results suggest possible linkages between informal and formal stratigraphic nomenclatures in Nova Olinda Member. Finally, this study showed that ethnostratigraphy can be applied as an auxiliary tool in stratigraphic studies, in both, as an initial exploratory approach and as enhancing the relationship between the geologists and the local community.
