Effect of Outdoor and Pasture Foraging Accessibility on Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Noiler Birds
Authors: Z.S. Jibia , M.G. Garba , M.N. Sabo , S. Gaddafi , M. Ibrahim
Published: October 2023

This experiment was carried out to determine the effect of outdoor and pasture foraging accessibility on performance responses and carcass characteristics of Noiler birds. A total number of 320 Noiler birds were divided into 5 treatments and each treatment was replicated 4 times with 16 birds per replicate. At the end of the brooding phase (2 weeks), the birds were placed in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement (outdoor durations and pasture accessibility were considered as factors) in a completely randomised design (CRD). T1 serves as control (indoor), T2 4 hours outdoor accessibility, 8 hours outdoor, 4 hours outdoor plus pasture foraging and 8 hours outdoor plus pasture foraging for T2, T3, T4 and T5 respectively. The data obtained in this study were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) where means were separated using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) of the Statistical Analysis Software package (SAS). The birds in T2 had significantly (P<0.05) higher final weight; similarly, higher (P<0.05) weight gain were observed in birds reared in T2. The result revealed that there are no significant (P>0.05) differences in both carcass and visceral weight proportion across all the treatments. However, considerable numerical variations exist. Higher dress weight was observed in T3 (70.333%) followed by T5, T2, T4 and T1 with 67.853, 67.372, 63.901 and 59.888% respectively. The result however, suggests non-significant (P>0.05) differences in initial weight, feed conversion ratio, feed cost per kilogram diet. It is therefore concluded that outdoor and pasture foraging has a profound effect on the performance profile of Noiler birds. It is therefore recommended for enhanced body weight and weight gain birds should also be enriched with pasture foraging material and at least 4 hours outdoor accessibility.

A Critical Study of Angela Duckworth’s Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance
Authors: Tiwari Shubha , Verma Kiran
Published: October 2023

Grit is indeed characterized by having a strong passion and perseverance for long-term goals. It goes beyond simply putting in effort and includes the ability to persist and maintain determination in the face of challenges and setbacks. Grit involves a combination of effort, patience, and resilience. It's about staying committed and focused on your objectives, even when things get tough. Gritty individuals are not easily discouraged by obstacles or failures; instead, they see them as opportunities for growth and learning. Having grit can be beneficial in various aspects of life, whether it's personal goals, academic pursuits, professional endeavors, or even relationships. People with high levels of grit are more likely to stay motivated and continue striving for their goals, even when progress seems slow or when faced with adversity. It's important to note that grit is not about blindly persisting without adaptability or recognizing when it's necessary to change course. It's about finding the balance between perseverance and flexibility, knowing when to adjust strategies or approaches while still maintaining a steadfast commitment to the overall objective. Developing and nurturing grit can contribute to greater resilience, achievement, and personal growth. It allows individuals to navigate challenges and setbacks with a determined mindset, increasing their likelihood of success in the long run.

Brugada Syndrome
Authors: Ravichandran Shanthi
Published: October 2023

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited ion channel channelopathy predisposing to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Originally believed to be predominantly associated with mutations in SCN5A encoding for the cardiac sodium channel, mutations of 18 genes other than SCN5A have been implicated in the pathogenesis of BrS to date. Diagnosis is based on the presence of a spontaneous or drug-induced coved-type ST segment elevation. If untreated, the irregular heartbeats even can sudden death.

Multi-fidelity optimisation of very flexible composite wing structures

Multidisciplinary design optimisation of actively controlled composite wings is a significant challenge because of the very large design space in terms of design variables and constraints. On the other hand, the computational complexity and time required for the aeroservoelastic analysis of a transport aircraft wing is high. This contradiction between computational time, computational accuracy and the number of required analyses can be solved with multi-fidelity analysis. This type of analysis is traditionally sequential in the design process of an aircraft. We would like to share our views on multi-fidelity analysis in this presentation where will make a case for continuous exchange of information between the various fidelity levels of a given discipline.

Potential and limitations within conceptual aircraft design for the optimization of a flexible wing with and without load alleviation.

Potential and limitations within conceptual aircraft design for the optimization of a flexible wing with and without load alleviation.

Load alleviation is a technology that enhances fuel efficiency of an aircraft by reducing the wing mass. Reducing aerodynamic loads on the transonic, swept outer wing allows for high aspect ratio wings in novel designs. Load alleviation impacts the optimal wing layout and should be considered already in the conceptual design phase.

This talk shows a conceptual aircraft design process integrating relevant disciplines through simplified but physics-based models. In particular the flexible wing is integrated. The results of a surrogate based optimization for a long range aircraft with and without load alleviation are shown, the technology potential and limitations within the design space discussed. An outlook on the related work in the UPwing EU-project will be provided, focusing on assessment and optimization of high aspect- ratio, flexible wings for a short-medium range aircraft.

U-HARWARD Project: overview of activities and achievements

This presentation describes the structure of U-HARWARD project, main tasks and an overview of the achievements up to now.

Wind Tunnel Test Campaign Outcomes

Investigating the pros and cons of unconventional configurations must pass through experimental validation to ensure unexpected behavior does not appear. In the U-HARWARD project, several wind tunnel tests have been performed to assess the aeroacoustics, aerodynamic and aeroelastic behavior of unconventional aircraft with high aspect ratio wings. Aeroacoustics tests were conducted at the University of Bristol on the interaction between the wing-strut junction and the high lift devices (both trailing and leading edge) for a strut-braced wing configuration. High-fidelity aeroacoustic simulations were also performed by Siemens to further investigate the noise generation mechanisms of wing-strut systems. Other tests were carried out at the large wind tunnel at Politecnico di Milano, testing aeroelastic behavior and flutter identification of a clamped strut-braced wing and low-speed aerodynamic derivatives of an aircraft in a strut-braced configuration. Insights will be given on a gust response test that will be carried out at the end of October on a free-to-plunge and pitch aircraft equipped with a folding wingtip to alleviate the loads.

Strut Braced Wing: challenges vs. promises, the ONERA perspective

Overview of the work performed within the U-HARWARD project on the high-AR strut-braced wing configuration, both at OAD level and aerodynamic and structural high-fidelity design level. Main conclusions and near-term perspectives will be highlighted.

Folding Wing Tips for High Aspect Ratio Wings - Challenges vs. Promises

This presentation will overview numerical and experimental investigations at the University of Bristol into the use of folding wing tips to enable HARW aircraft designs. The benefits of such a concept will be discussed along with an overview of the challenges that need to be overcome in order to enable its use on future aircraft.

Final assessment and preliminary project outcomes evaluation

The presentation will summarize the status of project outcomes and lessons learned.
Una sindrome infiammatoria multisistemica fredda complicata da shock
Authors: Valencic Ian , Moratti Mattia , Lombardi Francesca , Francavilla Rosa , Ghizzi Chiara
Published: October 2023

Rationale - In clinical practice there are numerous factors influencing the correct process of diagnosis and treatment, especially in the context of complex clinical cases such as severe and atypical forms of "multisystem inflammatory syndrome" (MIS-C): several studies have observed that in the Emergency Department fewer than half of cases of hemodynamic shock are treated according to Paediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) guidelines.
 Objectives - To favour the recognition of MIS-C in its atypical form and to provide indications on the correct treatment in the course of its acute complications such as mixed shock (distributive-cardiogenic).
 Materials and methods - Starting from the analysis of a clinical case, the literature about MIS-C and the management of mixed shock in the Emergency Department was reviewed. The paper describes the case of a patient with atypical MIS-C characterized by multiple organ failure syndrome, highlighting possible interventions of good clinical practice aimed to improve the outcome of patients affected by these disorders.
 Results - The analysis of the literature and guidelines has allowed new management guidelines for atypical MIS-C syndrome to be produced, in order to obtain a better outcome, despite a highly severe clinical scenario.
 Conclusions - Although there are no studies on the treatment of MIS-C shock in the literature, in view of the pathogenic continuum between MIS-C and Kawasaki syndrome, the adapted application of the American Heart Association guidelines allows the achievement of a good outcome even in cases of MIS-C with severe presentation.

Movilización por nuevos derechos y cambio legal: la Campaña por la Ley Maria da Penha
Authors: Alves Maciel Débora , Brito Prata Paula da Silva
Published: October 2023

El artículo analiza, sobre la base del enfoque del Proceso Político, un episodio de movilización legal, la Campaña por la Ley Maria da Penha realizada en Brasil en el periodo 2003-2006. Promovida por organizaciones feministas, la movilización nacional resultó en la edición de nuevo aparato legal sobre la violencia doméstica y familiar contra la mujer: la Ley Maria da Penha. Argumentamos que la emergencia y éxito de la campaña legal dependió de un conjunto de factores, a saber: la estructura de oportunidades políticas nacional e internacional de los años 1990; el estilo de las carreras de activismo; la redefinición del frame de la violencia contra la mujer; y las nuevas estrategias de movilización política y legal suministradas para el activismo.
Los Derechos Humanos se conquistan en la lucha: Igualdad racial, activismo jurídico y la defensa de las causas colectivas en el sur de Brasil
Authors: Rios Petraca Fernanda
Published: October 2023

Este artículo analiza la relación entre la defensa de causas colectivas vinculadas con la cuestión racial y la actuación profesional basada en una expertise jurídica en el sur de Brasil. Se centra en un conjunto de abogados que actúan profesionalmente en defensa de la igualdad racial en el estado de Rio Grande do Sul. A partir de este recorte empírico se examina tanto la emergencia del derecho racial en Brasil como el surgimiento de abogados que defienden “causas raciales”. Se analizan además las diferentes modalidades de asociación entre intervención profesional y compromiso militante a partir de la investigación de las trayectorias sociales, políticas y militantes de los abogados. Los procedimientos metodológicos adoptados consistieron en entrevistas biográficas con “profesionales militantes” y el análisis de fuentes secundarias referidas a los entrevistados. Este estudio permitió mostrar que los principios de identificación étnico-racial y el compromiso militante son fundamentales para conformar determinadas concepciones y prácticas profesionales.

Adiós dulce hogar: El centro de Gobierno en Chile
Authors: Rosales Plaza Felipe , Viacava Gatica José
Published: October 2023

En América Latina las investigaciones sobre presidencialismo han fallado en analizar el tejido institucional que actúa como centro de coordinación del poder Ejecutivo, y que al mismo tiempo, se transforma en constreñimiento organizacional de su propia actuación. En este contexto, el Centro de Gobierno emerge como el lugar en el que se produce la toma de decisiones políticas presidenciales; buscando cristalizar y fortalecer elementos tales como la coherencia y coordinación de políticas públicas. Por lo tanto, a través del caso de Chile, este artículo tiene como propósito identificar los factores capaces de definir y alterar la estructuración institucional del Centro de Gobierno desde 1990 hasta el 2010. En el trabajo se demuestra que la disciplina partidista y la estabilidad institucional se convierten en variables explicativas de la trayectoria emprendida por los centros de gobierno durante los gobiernos la Concertación.
Is the Internet Changing our Conception of Democracy? an analysis of Internet use During protests and Its effect on the perception of Democracy
Authors: Sajuria Javier
Published: October 2023

The last several years have seen the rise of social movements around the globe, such as the student protests in the UK and Chile, the Arab Spring, the Indignados, and the Occupy movement. They represent different political aspirations, but all of them relied heavily on the Internet to communicate and organise. This research analyses two specific contentious processes - the UK student protests and the Chilean environmentalist protests in 2010 - to assess the effect that the Internet may have had on the protesters' perception of democracy. Through data gathered from online surveys, interviews, and the Oxford Internet Survey 2009, this article observes the effect of the Internet in two dimensions: support for democracy, and the protesters' conception of democracy. Preliminary results show that Internet use is related to a more horizontal conception of democracy, and that more analyses are required to test whether that association is caused by the Internet or a utopian discourse about it.
Los partidos frente a la cuestión agraria en Chile, 1967-1973
Authors: Avendaño Octavio
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo analiza la disputa por la representación en el sector rural durante el período de implementación de la reforma agraria y de la ley de sindicalización campesina. Se trata de un período marcado por el intento de algunos partidos de profundizar la distribución de tierra, así como por el protagonismo que adquiere el movimiento campesino. Los partidos promueven

la reforma y la organización campesina con la finalidad de ampliar sus bases de apoyo, en un escenario que estimula la competencia y obliga a modificar el contenido de las fracturas que inicialmente aspiran a representar. A lo largo de este artículo, se destacan las divergencias que se generan entre los partidos en torno al problema agrario, junto a los nuevos conflictos desencadenados a raíz de la distribución de tierra.
Representación política y responsiveness en Brasil contemporáneo
Authors: Fernández Michelle , Coelho André Luiz , Abad Angélica
Published: October 2023

La representación política, a lo largo del tiempo, ha sido ejercida por representantes elegidos que componen los partidos políticos. De este modo, la vinculación con

los electores constituye un desafío cada vez más importante. Bajo esta perspectiva, este artículo tiene como objetivo realizar una comparación entre los intereses de los representantes y las demandas de los representados a principios del siglo XXI en Brasil. Trataremos de contestar a la siguiente pregunta de investigación: ¿son convergentes las demandas de la ciudadanía y los intereses de los representantes

en el Congreso Nacional en Brasil? Para contestar a esta pregunta analizaremos los datos de las encuestas del Proyecto de Elites Parlamentarias de la Universidad

de Salamanca y de la Cooperación Latinobarómetro, para dos puntos temporales, 2005 y 2010. Buscaremos comparar las actuaciones de los representantes democráticamente elegidos con las opiniones de los electores. Por lo tanto, los principales objetivos del análisis son percibir si existe responsiveness en la actuación de los representantes, es decir, sincronización entre los intereses de estos representantes y las demandas de los representados, además de observar en cuáles aspectos dicha sincronización se presenta de forma más contundente.
Perú, 2012-2014. Voto económico en una democracia sin partidos
Authors: Osorio Rodrigo
Published: October 2023

Aunque es ampliamente conocido su efecto en democracias consolidadas, hay dudas sobre la utilidad de los modelos de voto económico en democracias con sistemas de partidos poco institucionalizados. Utilizando los datos de la encuesta LAPOP de 2012, aplico la teoría del voto económico para probar la robustez de las explicaciones que se han dado para entender la victoria de Ollanta Humala en Perú en 2012. Además, utilizando datos de 2014, analizo si las variables que dieron cuenta de su victoria, sirven para explicar los niveles de popularidad en su gobierno. Se muestra que al incluir algunas variables asociadas al voto económico no hay mayores cambios en las explicaciones que dan cuenta de la victoria. No así, al analizar su popularidad. Aquí las percepciones sociotrópicas retrospectivas sobre el estado de la economía resultan ser importantes para explicar sus niveles de popularidad
Locales versus globales: empresas extranjeras y perfiles directivos en Argentina (1976-2001)
Authors: Dulitzky Alejandro
Published: October 2023

En este trabajo se analizan los vínculos existentes entre las transformaciones económicas que experimenta la economía argentina entre 1976 y el 2001, el tipo de intervención que despliega el Estado en relación al capital extranjero durante esos años, y el perfil de los dirigentes que escogen las empresas extranjeras para comandar sus negocios al interior del país. Sobre la base de un minucioso estudio de las trayectorias de vida de los individuos que presidieron empresas extranjeras durante el último cuarto del siglo XX, mostraremos que si bien existe una tendencia creciente a seleccionar directivos con perfiles más globales, aún se mantiene, en un considerable grupo de empresas, una fuerte inclinación por los directivos con perfiles estrechamente vinculados al ámbito local y, en particular, al Estado.
Reestructuración capitalista y procesos de territorialización en la frontera argentinochilena de los andes centrales
Authors: Gabler Karsten , Hevilla Cristina , Zusman Perla
Published: October 2023

El artículo aborda la relación entre capital y espacio en el marco del neoliberalismo y sus implicancias en la redefinición de las fronteras. Las contribuciones de Klaus Dörre y de David Harvey permiten comprender que

el capitalismo, a través de mecanismos de destrucción creativa, crea la alteridad geográfica en su interior. Los estudios latinoamericanos sobre la relación

entre las políticas extractivistas y los procesos de desterritorialización y (re)territorialización nos ofrecen elementos para analizar las transformaciones

provocadas por expansión del capital transnacional minero en la frontera entre Argentina (Departamentos de Iglesia, Jáchal y Calingasta provincia de San Juan) y Chile (III y IV Región). Dentro de este marco se identifican las acciones que los movimientos de vecinos autoconvocados, pastores, y baqueanos desarrollan para defender sus derechos por permanecer en los ámbitos donde habitan o

de mantener sus movilidades históricas. El estudio deriva de las investigaciones cualitativas que venimos realizando en el área desde el año 2005 y que se basan en trabajos de campo, entrevistas en profundidad, análisis de documentación oficial y prensa nacional, provincial y local.
Partido de la revolución democrática: competencia, renovación y estatus de su liderazgo
Authors: Navarrete Vela Juan Pablo
Published: October 2023

El presente artículo aborda el estatus del liderazgo político en el Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD). Consta de cuatro apartados, en el

primero se presenta una reflexión en torno a los partidos políticos, categorías y clasificaciones, base para articular una explicación empírica sobre el PRD. En el segundo apartado se revisa el impacto de Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas y Andrés Manuel López Obrador por medio de una tipología que distingue liderazgos carismáticos y administrativos y se ubican dichas categorías a lo largo de cinco elecciones presidenciales en México: 1988-2012. En el tercer apartado se analizan los efectos de la competencia electoral entre el PRD y Morena, debido a la renuncia de López Obrador y de su principal líder fundador, Cárdenas. Finalmente, se analiza el relevo de los últimos dirigentes nacionales en el partido, en los cuales se destaca el ambiente de fragilidad interna y la indefinición del rumbo político.
Administración pública, biopolítica y el arte de gobernar
Authors: Ortiz-Arellano Edgar
Published: October 2023

La administración pública a través del despliegue de sus capacidades técnicas, acumulación de recursos de todo tipo y al ser el hacedor, así como ejecutor de las políticas públicas de carácter biopolítico, convirtió su hacer en el arte de gobernar, entendida ésta como la aplicación de las acciones de gobierno, sobre las poblaciones, con el fin de modificar las condiciones de salud, educación, desarrollo social y regulaciones de la vida. La biopolítica y la gubernamentalidad como herramientas de la administración pública le dan a las acciones del aparato burocrático y a las políticas públicas que de ella emanan el papel preponderante en la vida pública y en la actividad propia del Estado-Nación, colocando su dominio incluso por encima de la actividad realizada por los políticos profesionales.

El efecto metropolizador y de suburbanización vivido por el área del Gran Santiago cuenta con aportes de flujos migratorios interregionales que han contribuido a modificar la composición demográfica y territorial de la trama urbana. Tal situación ha sido objeto de cambios a lo largo del tiempo que llevan a preguntarse ¿qué motiva hoy a los individuos a migrar a la Región Metropolitana? y ¿cuál es su ubicación espacial una vez que han arribado a ella? Postulamos que actualmente la Región Metropolitana ejerce un efecto de captación sobre los migrantes de otras regiones condicionado por un ingreso incluso mayor que los individuos radicados por mucho tiempo en ella. Esta condición de mayor ingreso también influiría en la localización de los migrantes en el espacio metropolitano. Para comprobar tal hipótesis se utilizaron datos de la encuesta CASEN 2015, mediante un análisis de estadística descriptiva e inferencial.
EL PROCESO DE FORTALECIMIENTO INSTITUCIONAL DE LA DIRECCIÓN DE PRESUPUESTOS DE CHILE 1990 - 2017
Authors: Barría Carolina
Published: October 2023

Esta investigación explicó el fortalecimiento institucional de la Dirección de Presupuestos de Chile durante el período de 1990 - 2017, a través de las variables Voluntad Política, Impulso Tecnocrático e Influencia Internacional de manera independiente primero, y luego de forma integrada dentro de un Process Tracing, para concluir que este fortalecimiento es causado principalmente por la motivación de un grupo de tecnócratas que lideraron el proceso dentro de dicha institución. El fortalecimiento institucional de la Dirección de Presupuestos dentro del sistema público se puede comprender a través de su estabilidad a lo largo del tiempo, de la imposición de reglas hacia los demás organismos públicos y del conocimiento acumulado sobre la administración pública que esta institución posee.
DESAFÍOS DE LOS ESTADOS DE EXCEPCIÓN EN EL PROCESO CONSTITUYENTE
Authors: Heiss Claudia
Published: October 2023

Este artículo analiza los estados de excepción a partir de la revisión de sus principales elementos desde la perspectiva de la teoría democrática y su aplicación en la historia constitucional y política de Chile desde el siglo XIX. Argumenta que la evolución de los estados de excepción en las constituciones chilenas de 1833, 1925 y 1980 evidencia un patrón de dependencia institucional, donde los marcos previos determinan de manera significativa el diseño posterior y que el diseño institucional no ha estado enfocado en la protección de los ciudadanos. El estado de sitio ha otorgado poder sin la debida responsabilidad, y se ha usado frecuentemente para la represión política y social, y no para la preservación de la comunidad.
Cambio al régimen político en Chile: El desafío de la redistribución del poder
Authors: Figueroa Pamela , Jordán Tomás
Published: October 2023

El artículo analiza el actual proceso constituyente en Chile en su contexto político-institucional y lo define como una coyuntura crítica, revisando los antecedentes que nos permiten entender el fenómeno: el origen autoritario de la actual constitución y la transformación de la sociedad chilena que requiere la actualización de sus instituciones. En miras al debate constitucional que se aproxima analiza el régimen político, los partidos políticos y el rol de la ciudadanía, considerando los diálogos ciudadanos en el marco del Proceso Constituyente Abierto a la Ciudadanía convocado por la presidenta Michelle Bachelet en 2016. Finalmente, propone un nuevo diseño institucional que denomina Presidencialismo Parlamentarizado, el que busca un mayor equilibrio entre los poderes ejecutivo y legislativo, y la inclusión de la ciudadanía mediante mecanismos de democracia directa.
BARRIERS TO TRANSFORMATIVE CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATION: MITIGATION AND RESILIENCE-BUILDING
Authors: Josephine Oranga  , Billiah Gisore  , George Areba
Published: October 2023

The urgency with which climate change education is required demands massive coordination across all formal education systems (primary, secondary and tertiary institutions), non-formal systems (community-based and non-governmental organisations), and informal systems (museums, over the radio, in libraries, or bus stops). It also demands attention from individuals in both low and high-carbon emitting countries, as well as within and across sectors (education, energy, agriculture, transportation and urban planning). Rather positively though, education has a ripple effect that goes beyond the individual learner and has the potential to build greater environmental enlightenment and concern amongst family members and communities. Accordingly, education (formal, informal and non-formal) would also help individuals and communities build resilience and lessen their vulnerabilities to a rapidly changing climate. Hence, this paper explores the barriers that impede enhanced climate change education with a view to helping surmount them and enlighten learners and communities at large, on the dangers of climate change and strategies of minimising human activities that bring about or accelerate climate change, even as communities get sensitised on resilience measures. Accordingly, the barriers to effective climate change education as determined by this review are inadequate political leadership, low eco-literacy levels, cognitive challenges, scepticism of scientific evidence, misinformation and disinformation of facts about climate change, limited knowledge and skills to impart to learners during climate change instruction, moral and behavioural challenges and psychological and social barriers. It is thus, recommended that salient aspects of climate change be integrated into teacher-training curricula worldwide and policies be enacted aimed at mitigating scepticism and disinformation concerning climate change. Furthermore, coordination of efforts between the private sector, government, community members and civil society to promote climate change education is strongly recommended together with the adoption of transformative learning that results in perspective and behaviour change
Pharmaceutical care effectiveness in brazilian healthcare setting: PrEP knowledge and adherence

PrEP is a globally effective and safe healthcare technology that substantially reduces HIV incidence. Pharmacists have played a crucial role in promoting PrEP scale-up, however, there is a lack of studies in the Brazilian context. This intervention study, conducted in Central Brazil from 2021 to 2022, assessed pharmaceutical care's effectiveness in enhancing PrEP knowledge and adherence among high-risk individuals for HIV acquisition. Over 80% of 150 participants, were predominantly male, homosexual, averaging 31.4 years old, single, and highly educated, and showed normal liver and kidney function with no HIV seroconversions. The Intervention Group (IG) displayed significant statistical differences in PrEP knowledge (p<0.001) and adherence (p<0.008) compared to the control group. The clinical pharmacist effectively resolved 27 drug-related problems with no adverse effects on participants. This study is pioneering within the Brazilian context, making a significant contribution to the advancement of scientific understanding regarding the role of pharmaceutical services in fostering PrEP utilization in Brazil.
Numerical safety and performance analysis of a multipurpose building’s structure: case study

Published: October 2023

This report presents a case study of a multi-use building situated in Brasília-DF. The building's structural model is made up of elements of a spatial portico and four-knot plate, measuring 25.75 by 25.75 m with a height of 11.65 m. The structure is supported by rotating pillars at the base. The ground floor has a ceiling height of 3.25 m, while the other floors have a ceiling height of 2.80 m. The closure is made of bored brick masonry. In this article, numerical analyses were conducted using the SAP2000 structural software to verify the structure's displacement, deformation, and stress. The study followed the ultimate and in-use limit state criteria for the Brazilian standard of reinforced concrete (NBR 6118). The report also presents the building's structural pathologies, detected through visual inspection. The main structural elements and their respective pathologies are described, and numerical tests are shown. Due to the presence of various cracks and other pathologies in the building, an elastic instability analysis was conducted using the Rankine-Marchant analysis model to verify the collapse load factor. After approximately 17 years of use, the building is revisited to assess the durability and performance of the recovered structural components and procedures.

Oral paresthesias are usually associated with pathological conditions and surgical procedures on teeth adjacent to the mandibular canal. The most affected nerve is the inferior alveolar nerve. This clinical case reported a paresthesia of endodontic origin with remission after endodontic treatment. Initially, a patient reported severe pain in tooth 45. After 2 days, sensory disturbances were observed, characterized by numbness in the lower lip and right hemimandible. Thirty days after treatment, the patient reported sudden regression of this condition, days before the evaluation. After 10 and 15 months, follow-up CBCT scans were performed and revealed areas of bone neofomation in the region of the periapical lesion, suggestive of repair of the inflammatory process. During these follow-ups, the patient reported no sensory changes or pain symptoms. The use of computed tomography was a relevant strategy in this case because it provides three-dimensional images that allow detailed evaluation of the region.

The purpose was to describe the clinical and epidemiological profile of patients with Heart Failure (HF) treated at a specialized clinic in the Unified Health System. This is a descriptive, individual and cross-sectional study, which collected data from medical records of patients with HF. Patients were divided into three groups according to the stroke volume: preserved, mid-range and reduced. A total of 545 medical records were evaluated, with a mean age of 64.9 ± 13.6 years, and 55.6% of which were male. Hypertension (76.7%), coronary artery disease (38.5%), and diabetes mellitus (37.2%) were the main risk factors. Myocardial ischemia was the main etiology (36.40%), followed by Chagas disease (20.22%). The valve etiology was frequently associated with reduced LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) (Pearson's ρ <0.06), with mid-range LVEF (Pearson's ρ <0.10) and with preserved LVEF (Pearson's ρ <0.39). The ischemic etiology was frequent in preserved LVEF (Pearson's ρ <0.08). The findings showed a strong association between valve disease and preserved LVEF; frequent association between mid-range LVEF and valve and ischemic disease; frequent association between valve disease and reduced LVEF.
