Published: May 2023

The control of catalytic performance using synthesis conditions is one of the main goals of catalytic research. Two series of Pt-Ti/SBA-15 catalysts with different TiO2 percentages (n = 1, 5, 10, 30 wt.%) were obtained from tetrabutylorthotitanate (TBOT) and peroxotitanate (PT), as titania precursors and Pt impregnation. The obtained catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 sorption, Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), hydrogen temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and H2-chemisorption measurements. Raman spectroscopy showed framework titanium species in low TiO2 loading samples. The anatase phase was evidenced for samples with higher titania loading, obtained from TBOT, and a mixture of rutile and anatase for those synthesized by PT. The rutile phase prevails in rich TiO2 catalysts obtained from PT. Variable concentrations of Pt0 as a result of the stronger interaction of PtO with anatase and the weaker interaction with rutile were depicted using XPS. TiO2 loading and precursors influenced the concentration of Pt species, while the effect on Pt nanoparticles’ size and uniform distribution on support was insignificant. The Pt/PtO ratio and their concentration on the surface were the result of strong metal–support interaction, and this influenced catalytic performance in the complete oxidation of methane at a low temperature. The highest conversion was obtained for sample prepared from PT with 30% TiO2.
A Commercial Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Inoculum Alleviated the Effects of Acid Water on Lupinus angustifolius Grown in a Sterilized Mining Dump
Authors: Neagoe Aurora , Iordache Virgil
Published: May 2023

Lupinus species have been sporadically reported to be colonized by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The interactions between AMF and lupine plants could also be non-symbiotic, from positive to negative, as controlled by the stress conditions of the plant. The goal of the study was to reveal the existence of such positive interactions and provide preliminary data for a myco-phytoremediation technology of mining dumps using L. angustifolius as a first crop. The objective was to test the hypothesis that the AMF inoculation of an acidified dump material contaminated with heavy metals would improve the growth of L. angustifolius and decrease oxidative stress. The design consisted of a one-month bivariate pot experiment with plants grown in a mining dump soil inoculated and not inoculated with a commercial AMF inoculum sequestered in expanded clay and watered with acidic and neutral water. There was no AMF root colonization under the experimental conditions, but under neutral and acidic water conditions, the phosphorus concentrations in roots and leaves increased, and the superoxide dismutase and peroxidase activities significantly decreased due to AMF inoculation. The increase in leaf phosphorus concentration was correlated with the decrease in peroxidase activity. The fresh weight of shoots and leaves significantly increased due to the commercial inoculum (under acidic water conditions). At the end of the experiment, the ammonium concentration in the substrate was higher in the inoculated treatments than in the not inoculated ones, and the concentrations of many elements in the dump material decreased compared to the start of the experiment. A comprehensive discussion of the potential mechanisms underlying the effects of the commercial AMF inoculum on the non-host L. angustifolius is completed.

Published: May 2023

Lavandula latifolia is one of the main rainfed crops of aromatic and medicinal plants produced in Spain. As a global concern, the agronomic productivity of this aromatic crop is also threatened by the consequences of imminent climate change. On this basis, the study of the agronomic production of two drought-tolerant ecotypes, after three years of cultivations practices, constitutes the main objective of the present study. For this trial, clones of the two pre-selected ecotypes, along with clones from two commercial plants (control), were grown in an experimental plot. The main results confirmed an increase in biomass and essential oil production with plant age. The essential oil chemotype defined by 1,8-cineol, linalool, and camphor was maintained over time, but a decrease in 1,8-cineol in the benefit of linalool was detected. In the phenolic profile, 14 components were identified, with salvianic acid and a rosmarinic acid derivate being the main compounds quantified. These phenolic extracts showed potent in vitro antioxidant capacity, and after the second year of cultivation practices, both phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity remained stable. Thus, under semiarid conditions, L. latifolia drought-tolerant ecotypes reach a good level of production after the second year of crop establishment.

Published: May 2023

Lilium brownii var. viridulum, commonly called Longya lily, is a well-known flower and vegetable plant in China that has poor tolerance to Botrytis fungal disease. The molecularimprovement has mainly been restricted to an efficient regeneration and transformation system. In this study, the highly efficient regeneration of Longya lily was established through the optimization of embryogenic callus, adventitious shoot and rooting induction. The major factors influencing transformation (antibiotics, Agrobacterium concentration, infection time, suspension solution and coculture medium) were examined. The expression responses of PR promoters (ZmPR4 and BjCHI1) to B. cinerea were assessed in transgenic calli. The results showed that Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 1.0 mg·L−1 picloram (PIC) and 0.2 mg·L−1 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) under light conditions and MS with 0.5 mg·L−1 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) and 1.0 mg·L−1 NAA under darkness were optimal for embryogenic callus induction (64.67% rate) and proliferation (3.96 coefficient). Callus inoculation into MS containing 2.0 mg·L−1 thidiazuron (TDZ), 0.4 mg·L−1 NAA, 1.0 mg·L−1 TDZ and 0.5 mg·L−1 NAA led to shooting induction (92.22 of rate) and proliferation (3.28 of coefficient) promotion, respectively. The rooting rate reached 99.00% on MS with 0.3 mg·L−1 NAA. Moreover, a transformation rate of 65.56% was achieved by soaking the callus in Agrobacterium at an OD600 of 0.4 for 10 min in modified MS without NH4NO3 as the suspension solution and coculture medium before selecting 75 mg·L−1 hygromycin and 300 mg·L−1 cefotaxime. Only the BjCHI1 promoter was obviously expressed in transgenic calli. These results could facilitate the generation of Longya lily transgenic plants with improved B. cinerea resistance.

Authors: Xu Jiazhong , Zheng Shiyi , Sun Kewei , Song Pengfei
Published: May 2023

In the process of producing winding coils for power transformers, it is necessary to detect the tilt angle of the winding, which is one of the important parameters that affects the physical performance indicators of the transformer. The current detection method is manual measurement using a contact angle ruler, which is not only time-consuming but also has large errors. To solve this problem, this paper adopts a contactless measurement method based on machine vision technology. Firstly, this method uses a camera to take pictures of the winding image and performs a 0° correction and preprocessing on the image, using the OTSU method for binarization. An image self-segmentation and splicing method is proposed to obtain a single-wire image and perform skeleton extraction. Secondly, this paper compares three angle detection methods: the improved interval rotation projection method, quadratic iterative least squares method, and Hough transform method and through experimental analysis, compares their accuracy and operating speed. The experimental results show that the Hough transform method has the fastest operating speed and can complete detection in an average of only 0.1 s, while the interval rotation projection method has the highest accuracy, with a maximum error of less than 0.15°. Finally, this paper designs and implements visualization detection software, which can replace manual detection work and has a high accuracy and operating speed.

Published: May 2023

Ultrasound (US) is an important imaging tool for skeletal muscle analysis. The advantages of US include point-of-care access, real-time imaging, cost-effectiveness, and absence of ionizing radiation. However, US can be highly dependent on the operator and/or US system, and a portion of the potentially useful information carried by raw sonographic data is discarded in image formation for routine qualitative US. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) methods provide analysis of the raw or post-processed data, revealing additional information about normal tissue structure and disease status. There are four QUS categories that can be used on muscle and are important to review. First, quantitative data derived from B-mode images can help determine the macrostructural anatomy and microstructural morphology of muscle tissues. Second, US elastography can provide information about muscle elasticity or stiffness through strain elastography or shear wave elastography (SWE). Strain elastography measures the induced tissue strain caused either by internal or external compression by tracking tissue displacement with detectable speckle in B-mode images of the examined tissue. SWE measures the speed of induced shear waves traveling through the tissue to estimate the tissue elasticity. These shear waves may be produced using external mechanical vibrations or internal “push pulse” ultrasound stimuli. Third, raw radiofrequency signal analyses provide estimates of fundamental tissue parameters, such as the speed of sound, attenuation coefficient, and backscatter coefficient, which correspond to information about muscle tissue microstructure and composition. Lastly, envelope statistical analyses apply various probability distributions to estimate the number density of scatterers and quantify coherent to incoherent signals, thus providing information about microstructural properties of muscle tissue. This review will examine these QUS techniques, published results on QUS evaluation of skeletal muscles, and the strengths and limitations of QUS in skeletal muscle analysis.

Published: May 2023

In this study, a new temperature sensor with high sensitivity was achieved by four-layer Ge and B co-doped long-period fiber grating (LPFG) based on the mode coupling principle. By analyzing the mode conversion, the influence of the surrounding refractive index (SRI), the thickness and the refractive index of the film on the sensitivity of the sensor is studied. When 10 nm-thick titanium dioxide (TiO2) film is coated on the surface of the bare LPFG, the refractive index sensitivity of the sensor can be initially improved. Packaging PC452 UV-curable adhesive with a high-thermoluminescence coefficient for temperature sensitization can realize high-sensitivity temperature sensing and meet the requirements of ocean temperature detection. Finally, the effects of salt and protein attachment on the sensitivity are analyzed, which provides a reference for the subsequent application. The sensitivity of 3.8 nm/°C in the range of 5–30 °C was achieved for this new sensor, and the resolution is about 0.00026 °C, which is over 20 times higher than ordinary temperature sensors. This new sensor meets the accuracy and range of general ocean temperature measurements and could be used in various marine monitoring and environmental protection applications.

Published: May 2023

Gradual development is moving from standard visual content in the form of 2D data to the area of 3D data, such as points scanned by laser sensors on various surfaces. An effort in the field of autoencoders is to reconstruct the input data based on a trained neural network. For 3D data, this task is more complicated due to the demands for more accurate point reconstruction than for standard 2D data. The main difference is in shifting from discrete values in the form of pixels to continuous values obtained by highly accurate laser sensors. This work describes the applicability of autoencoders based on 2D convolutions for 3D data reconstruction. The described work demonstrates various autoencoder architectures. The reached training accuracies are in the range from 0.9447 to 0.9807. The obtained values of the mean square error (MSE) are in the range from 0.059413 to 0.015829 mm. They are close to resolution in the Z axis of the laser sensor, which is 0.012 mm. The improvement of reconstruction abilities is reached by extracting values in the Z axis and defining nominal coordinates of points for the X and Y axes, where the structural similarity metric value is improved from 0.907864 to 0.993680 for validation data.

Published: May 2023

Fatal injuries and hospitalizations caused by accidental falls are significant problems among the elderly. Detecting falls in real-time is challenging, as many falls occur in a short period. Developing an automated monitoring system that can predict falls before they happen, provide safeguards during the fall, and issue remote notifications after the fall is essential to improving the level of care for the elderly. This study proposed a concept for a wearable monitoring framework that aims to anticipate falls during their beginning and descent, activating a safety mechanism to minimize fall-related injuries and issuing a remote notification after the body impacts the ground. However, the demonstration of this concept in the study involved the offline analysis of an ensemble deep neural network architecture based on a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and existing data. It is important to note that this study did not involve the implementation of hardware or other elements beyond the developed algorithm. The proposed approach utilized CNN for robust feature extraction from accelerometer and gyroscope data and RNN to model the temporal dynamics of the falling process. A distinct class-based ensemble architecture was developed, where each ensemble model identified a specific class. The proposed approach was evaluated on the annotated SisFall dataset and achieved a mean accuracy of 95%, 96%, and 98% for Non-Fall, Pre-Fall, and Fall detection events, respectively, outperforming state-of-the-art fall detection methods. The overall evaluation demonstrated the effectiveness of the developed deep learning architecture. This wearable monitoring system will prevent injuries and improve the quality of life of elderly individuals.

Published: May 2023

Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) have recently gained popularity, and they are envisioned as an integral parts of the current and future wireless and mobile-radio networks. Despite the exhaustive research on air-to-ground channels, there are insufficient studies, experimental campaigns and general channel models related to air-to-space (A2S) and air-to-air (A2A) wireless links. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the available channel models and path-loss prediction for A2S and A2A communications. Specific case studies attempting to extend current models’ parameters and provide important knowledge of the channel behavior in combination with UAV flight characteristics are also provided. A time-series rain-attenuation synthesizer is also presented that describes quite accurately the impact of the troposphere at frequencies above 10 GHz. This specific model can be also applied to both A2S and A2A wireless links. Finally, scientific challenges and gaps that can be used for future research on the upcoming 6G networks are highlighted.
Rethinking Feature Generalization in Vacant Space Detection
Authors: Manh Hung-Nguyen
Published: May 2023

Vacant space detection is critical in modern parking lots. However, deploying a detection model as a service is not an easy task. As the camera in a new parking is set up at different heights or viewing angles from the original parking lot where the training data are collected, the performance of the vacant space detector could be degraded. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a method to learn generalized features so that the detector can work better in different environments. In detail, the features are suitable for a vacant detection task and robust to environmental change. We use a reparameterization process to model the variance from the environment. In addition, a variational information bottleneck is used to ensure the learned feature focus on only the appearance of a car in a specific parking space. Experimental results show that performances on a new parking lot increase significantly when only data from source parking are used in the training phase.
Understanding Seepage in Levees and Exploring the Applicability of Using an Optical-Fiber Distributed Temperature System and Smoothing Technique as a Monitoring Method
Authors: Kang Woochul
Published: May 2023

This study aimed to experimentally understand the seepage mechanism in levees and evaluate the applicability of an optical-fiber distributed temperature system based on Raman-scattered light as a levee stability monitoring method. To this end, a concrete box capable of accommodating two levees was built, and experiments were conducted by supplying water evenly to both levees through a system equipped with a butterfly valve. Water-level and water-pressure changes were monitored every minute using 14 pressure sensors, while temperature changes were monitored using distributed optical-fiber cables. Levee 1, composed of thicker particles, experienced a faster water pressure change, and a corresponding temperature change was observed due to seepage. While the temperature change inside the levees was relatively smaller than external temperature changes, measurement fluctuations were significant. Additionally, the influence of external temperature and the dependence of temperature measurements on the levee position made intuitive interpretation challenging. Therefore, five smoothing techniques with different time intervals were examined and compared to determine their effectiveness in reducing outliers, elucidating temperature change trends and enabling the comparison of temperature changes at different positions. Overall, this study confirmed that the optical-fiber distributed temperature system combined with appropriate data-processing techniques can be more efficient than existing methods for understanding and monitoring levee seepage.
Can Companies Reduce Carbon Emission Intensity to Enhance Sustainability?
Authors: Zheng Sisi , Jin Shanyue
Published: May 2023

With the rapid development of global industrialization and modernization, carbon emissions have brought about serious climate warming and environmental pollution problems. Chinese enterprises, as the major players in carbon emissions, are important in terms of promoting the green transformation of the economy. It is particularly important to investigate the relationship and mechanism of action between carbon emission reduction and corporate sustainable development in Chinese enterprises. This study aims to determine whether reducing the intensity of carbon emissions can make businesses more sustainable and to analyze the moderating influences of government environmental subsidies, media monitoring, and executives’ green opinions on the link between the two variables. The study sample consists of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares data from 2015 to 2020, and a fixed-effects model is employed for analysis. Data were obtained from the China Stock Market & Accounting Research database, the Financial News Database of Listed Companies, and enterprise financial statement notes, etc. Stata17.0 was used to clean and analyze the data. The results indicate that businesses can greatly improve their long-term viability by lowering their carbon emissions. Additionally, government environmental subsidies, media monitoring, and executives’ green perceptions all enhance the correlation between corporate sustainability and reduce carbon emission intensity. This study not only enriches the relationship between environmental governance and sustainable development from a theoretical perspective, but also further expands the stakeholder theory. It also finds the mechanism of the role of the government and media on corporate carbon emissions for sustainable development in practice, which provides effective guidance to accelerate the promotion of carbon emission reduction and, thus, the sustainable development of Chinese enterprises.
A Change-Sensitive Complexity Measurement for Business Process Models Based on Control Structure
Authors: Zhou Changhong , Zhang Dengliang , Chen Deyan , Liu Cong
Published: May 2023

The analysis of the process model complexity has significant implications for the operation, maintenance, and optimization of processes. As process models consist of control structures with specific repetitive patterns, the complexity of the control structures often determines the process model complexity. While the existing methods for measuring the process model complexity consider most control structure complexity, some changes in branch structures cannot be reflected in the process model complexity. To address this issue, this paper considers the impact of the number and position of activities in branching structures on the process model complexity, distinguishes the connection forms between branch structures, and defines the complexity of the branching structures. We propose a new complexity measurement (CP) based on the control structures. The theoretical validity of CPs was confirmed using Weyuker’s properties, and the process structure variant model was used to experiment with its sensitivity. The findings indicate that the CP satisfies eight out of the nine properties proposed by Weyuker. Compared with the other complexity measurement methods of the process model, the CP is more sensitive to some structural changes in the process model. Therefore, when the structure of the process model changes, the CP reflects the changes in the process model complexity more accurately.

Background: There is a scarcity of evidence regarding the real-world effectiveness of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines. This was the first study to evaluate the effectiveness of four types of vaccines against asymptomatic and symptomatic infection, and COVID-19 outcomes among the general population. Methods: This was a matched comparison group quasi-experimental study conducted in Jordan between 1 January and 29 August 2021. In the first part of the study, 1200 fully vaccinated individuals were matched with 1200 unvaccinated control participants. In order to measure vaccine effectiveness, the infection rates of both vaccinated and unvaccinated groups were calculated. The second part of the study included measuring specific anti-SARS CoV-2 immune cells and antibodies. Results: BNT162b2 (Pfizer, New York, NY, USA) showed a significantly higher effectiveness against asymptomatic COVID-19 infection (91.7%) and hospitalization (99.5%) than BBIBP-CorV (Sinopharm, Beijing, China) (88.4% and 98.7%, respectively) and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AstraZeneca, Cambridge, UK) (84.3%, and 98.9%, respectively). The effectiveness rates of the Sputnik V (Gamaleya Research Institute, Moscow, Russia) vaccine against asymptomatic, symptomatic, and hospitalization were 100%, 100%, and 66.7%, respectively. The highest median anti-spike (S) IgG values were seen in individuals who received BNT162b2 (2.9 AU/mL) and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (2.8 AU/mL) vaccines. The levels of anti-S IgG were significantly decreased after 7 months of vaccination with BNT162b2 and BBIBP-CorV. There were significant decreases in the median number of neutralizing antibodies one month and seven months after receiving BNT162b2 (from 88.5 to 75.2 4 Bioequivalent Allergen Unit per milliliter/mL), BBIBP-CorV (from 69.5 to 51.5 BAU/mL), and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (from 69.2 to 58.BAU/mL) vaccines. The highest percentage of T cells specific to COVID-19 vaccine was found in individuals who received BNT162b2 (88.5%). Conclusion: All four vaccines evaluated in this study showed effectiveness against asymptomatic COVID-19 infection, symptomatic infection, hospitalization, and death. Furthermore, BNT162b2, BBIBP-CorV, and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 induced high levels of immunology markers within one month of vaccination.

Semantics of time in Lesia Ukrainka dramaturgy
Authors:   Shevchenko Literary Institute of the NAS of Ukraine, Demska-Budzuliak Lesia
Published: May 2023

The article examines the understanding of the category of time by modernist philosophy and art and its representation in artistic texts. For the first time the ancient Greeks turned to the development of the category of time in different planes - philosophical, artistic, aesthetic. The philosophy of modernity rethinks the category of time and creates two models of time in culture and art. Both models have their own system of images and metaphorical language. This enriches the semantics of time. We distinguish two models of time proposed by modernist art. The first model describes metaphysical and real time by using the concepts of eternity and the moment and offering two mythological images: Kronos, as the embodiment of universal, abstract time, and Kairos, which symbolises a specific time, each moment of human life. Metaphysical time is embodied in the images of the seasons (summer, winter, spring), of the day (day, night), of all that has a tendency to constant recurrence and existence. Real time includes that which cannot recur (moments, periods of human life, years). The first model of time works with numerous images of eternal youth and the ephemerality of life. The second model of time is linear / historical and cyclical / mythological time. Mythological time is viewed through the idea of eternal rebirth or reincarnation, which is inspired by Eastern philosophy. The dramatic work of Lesya Ukrainka, a leading representative of early Ukrainian modernism, is no exception in terms of the new approach to the category of time. The concept of time in Lesya Ukrainka's dramaturgy is considered according to the philosophical and aesthetic paradigm of early European modernism. The author turns to both models of time and offers her own semantic solutions. The time models are distributed as follows: linear / historical time is present in texts on the cultural history of mankind (“Three Minutes”, “Boyarynia”, “Rufin and Priscilla”), while cyclical / mythological time is inherent in dramatic works based on mythological plots (“Forest Song”, “Captivity of Babylon”, “Cassandra”). The writer also considers the concepts of memory and eternity in time-related models. The memory that lives in future generations becomes a sign of eternity. At the same time, the concept of eternity, despite belonging to universal time, also contains the semantics of rebirth, of the eternal circle of birth – death – return.
Transtorno de Personalidade Borderline e os fatores que influenciam seu desenvolvimento: uma relação entre o comportamento autodestrutivo, relações familiares, traumas infantis e alterações fisiopatológicas
Authors: Matias Camila Caroline , Reis Gabriela Thomé , Besson Jean Carlos Fernando
Published: May 2023

O Transtorno de Personalidade Borderline (TPB) consiste em um distúrbio que possui como principais manifestações padrões de instabilidade e disfunção nos domínios emocional, comportamental, cognitivo e interpessoal, não possuindo uma fisiopatologia única definida na literatura. No entanto, acredita-se que está diretamente associado a diversos fatores que vão interferir no desenvolvimento cerebral, seja estrutural ou funcionalmente.  As causas mais citadas na literatura incluem alterações neurológicas, influências genéticas e influências psicossociais. Contudo, a expressão do fenótipo do TPB e a manifestação dos sintomas está diretamente relacionada aos fatores ambientais em que o indivíduo está inserido. Por conseguinte, esses pacientes desenvolvem em sua personalidade traços marcantes como impulsividade, instabilidade afetiva, sentimentos de vazio, situações de raiva intensa e sintomas dissociativos, que podem se manifestar, muitas vezes, em comportamentos autodestrutivos na tentativa de sanar as suas aflições. Esses sintomas se acentuam por volta dos 14 aos 17 anos que, concomitantemente, corresponde ao período da adolescência em que o jovem experimenta mudanças significativas na consolidação da sua identidade, influenciada pelos fatores já relatados. No presente artigo de revisão sistemática, buscamos elucidar a definição de Transtorno de Personalidade Borderline. Além de caracterizar a expressão do fenótipo TPB e a manifestação dos sintomas; o diagnóstico; e a fisiopatologia envolvida na doença, bem como os fatores ambientais, biológicos e genéticos envolvidos no transtorno que são considerados gatilhos para o desenvolvimento da personalidade Borderline. Para a realização desta revisão narrativa de literatura, foram realizadas buscas nas bases de dados eletrônicas Scientific Eletronic Library Online (Scielo), Google Acadêmico (SCHOLAR), Portal Caps e Science Direct. Além disso, foram efetuadas consultas ao Manual de Diagnóstico e Estatística de Transtornos Mentais - DSM-5 (APA, 2014).

Como estratégia metodológica foi proporcionado momentos de roda de conversa; momentos de estudo de textos instrucionais e expositivos; atividades com medidas de capacidade e operações matemáticas; atividades práticas de preparação de receitas gourmet e exposição dos produtos na Feira EUREKA. Como produtos para comercialização na feira foram preparados: Salgados, bolos, tortas, caldos e sucos; como resultados pedagógicos tivemos a produção de textos instrucionais: receitas dos alimentos preparados e textos com curiosidades sobre os nutrientes (ciências) dos alimentos. Os resultados apontam a validação do ensino interdisciplinar como caminho para a efetivação da aprendizagem compartilhada, haja visto que houve um avanço no desenvolvimento das competências de leitura, escrita e oralidade por meio dos textos instrucionais e expositivos e nas habilidades matemáticas, bem como a ampliação dos conhecimentos dos benefícios de uma alimentação saudável e alternativa.

O presente estudo objetivou abordar as recentes pesquisas na literatura sobre importância da fotoproteção e na prevenção do câncer de pele. Para isso, foi feita uma revisão integrativa, usando como critério a busca nas bases de dados científicos Acervo+ e LILACS, utilizando-se os descritores “raios ultravioleta”, “envelhecimento da pele”, “protetores solares”, “neoplasias cutâneas”. A pesquisa identificou que alterações oxidativas no DNA e efeitos imunossupressores dos raios solares UVA auxiliam no crescimento do câncer de pele e que a apresentação crônica da radiação UVB em pequenas doses, podem apresentar uma predisposição para o desenvolvimento da carcinogênese, sendo o uso adequado de filtro solar uma forma efetiva de prevenção de neoplasia dermatológica. Conclui-se, que o protetor solar é de suma importância para a saúde da pele, sendo esse um aliado contra inúmeras enfermidades, principalmente o câncer de pele.

Objetivo: Traçar um perfil epidemiológico e socioeconômico de pacientes com fissuras labiopalatinas atendidos em um hospital de referência do interior de Alagoas. Materiais e Métodos:  Trata-se de um estudo transversal analítico descritivo, onde foi realizada a consulta aos prontuários de pacientes com fissura labiopalatina no ano de 2019 em um hospital de referência do interior de Alagoas. Variáveis como: idade, gênero, tipo de fissura, renda familiar, grau de escolaridade dos pais, acesso a terapias complementares e o CPOD foram coletados. Foi realizada uma análise estatística descritiva bem como análises através do teste exato de Fisher ou qui-quadrado e t de Student. Resultados: Ao todo foram analisados 32 prontuários observando-se uma predominância do gênero masculino (67,7%), e de etnia parda (45,2%). A maior parte dos pacientes (56,7%) relataram que possuíam renda familiar entre 1 a 3 salários mínimos e 36,7% menos de 1 salário mínimo. As fissuras unilaterais foram mais prevalentes (65,4%,) sendo o lado esquerdo mais afetado (76,5%). A maioria dos pacientes não realizou terapia com fonoaudiólogo ou ortodontista (61,3% e 61,5% respectivamente). Não foi observada relação estatisticamente significante entre o índice CPO-D, renda familiar e escolaridade dos pais (p > 0,05). Considerações finais: O tratamento de fissuras labiopalatinas é multidisciplinar, longo e de alto custo. É necessário a criação de centros de tratamento especialmente em regiões com baixo IDH, melhorando o acesso e a assistência a saúde desses pacientes, minimizando as sequelas e melhorando sua qualidade de vida.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar os conhecimentos dos profissionais de uma Unidade de Saúde da Família sobre a hanseníase. Tratou-se de um estudo qualitativo, descritivo, que utilizou a Análise Temática como referencial teórico, e através de entrevistas semiestruturadas emergiram as seguintes categorias: conhecimento/diagnóstico; preconceito; acompanhamento na Unidade de Saúde da Família. Os profissionais trouxeram diferentes níveis de conhecimento sobre a doença, necessidade de cursos e atualizações para melhor atender as demandas dos usuários e o quanto a doença é estigmatizada, e que ainda traz isolamento quando se têm o diagnóstico. Dessa maneira são necessárias medidas efetivas de controle da doença através da educação em saúde, busca ativa dos casos com os contactantes e acesso dos profissionais a conhecimentos acerca do tema.

Esta pesquisa objetiva apresentar os novos manejos e recomendações para a abordagem clínica da nefrite lúpica. Para realização do estudo, adotou-se uma revisão integrativa de artigos publicados nos últimos 5 (cinco) anos utilizando os descritores: Nefrite lúpica AND manejo”; “Nefrite lúpica AND Lúpus Eritematoso Sistêmico”; “Nefrite lúpica AND Diagnóstico”, “Nefrite lúpica AND prognóstico”, “Nefrite lúpica AND cuidados” e “Nefrite lúpica AND Tratamentos”. Nesta pesquisa, foram incluídos no total 9 (nove) artigos, que correspondiam aos objetivos estabelecidos. Os estudos apresentaram recomendações terapêuticas atuais, em que grande parte das terapias de NL baseiam-se nas recomendações conjuntas da Liga Europeia Contra o Reumatismo (EULAR) e da Associação Renal Europeia-Associação Europeia de Diálise e Transplante (ERA-EDTA), as quais se fundamentam em resultados de ensaios clínicos randomizados controlados. Verificou-se que o tratamento da nefrite pode incluir: baixa dose de ciclofosfamida ou micofenolato intravenoso, seguido de imunossupressão de manutenção; uso do fármaco imunossupressor da classe dos inibidores de calcineurina, o Tacrolimo; uso do inibidor da enzima conversora da angiotensina ou bloqueador dos receptores da angiotensina e hidroxicloroquina; combinação de micofenolato com inibidor de calcineurina ou belimumab; co-administração de antimaláricos; uso de esteroides, como o glicocorticoide.

O Brasil destaca-se na produção alimentos de origem animal mundial, todavia, parte do enorme rebanho do país é destinado a abates clandestinos, efetuados em locais impróprios e sem fiscalização higiênico sanitária, o que resulta em diversas consequências negativas, como a transmissão de zoonoses. Esta pesquisa objetiva realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre os riscos do abate clandestino e a existência de fatores associados com agentes de caráter zoonótico. Para tanto, foram selecionados 10 artigos presentes nos bancos de dados do Google Acadêmico e Plataforma Capes, publicados nos idiomas português ou inglês, entre os anos de 2012 a 2022 e com relevância As palavras-chave utilizadas foram: “Abate clandestino”, “Fiscalização” e “Zoonoses”. O abate clandestino é um dos fatores mais preocupantes e tem sido um constante desafio para as autoridades sanitárias, pois impede o controle sanitário e a rastreabilidade da carne. O consumo dos produtos de origem animal não inspecionados alavanca a transmissão de diversas doenças veiculadas por alimentos, como toxoplasmose, botulismo e cisticercose. Apesar da existência de leis que regulam os serviços de inspeção e vigilância sanitária, a fim de coibir estes abatedouros clandestinos, consequentemente, melhorando a situação da carne comercializada no Brasil, a perpetuação destes, continua sendo um grave problema na saúde pública nacional. Relatos que corroboram com o risco de transmissão de doenças para trabalhadores de abatedouros irregulares e consumidores, já foram descritos nos estados da Paraíba, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. Do ponto de vista legal, para o manuseio de produtos de origem animal e o funcionamento de estabelecimentos industrializados, são necessárias licenças agropecuárias e sanitárias. Assim, o produtor ganha pela qualidade de sua produção, os consumidores adquirem produtos de qualidade, a economia nacional se fortalece e é reconhecida. Essas medidas propiciam também a geração de empregos, bem-estar dos animais de produção e o cuidado com o meio ambiente.
