ECUADOR: LOS DEBATES SOBRE LA SOSTENIBILIDAD DE LA DEUDA Y EL AHORRO PÚBLICO (2001-2019)
Authors: Paredes Gonzalo J. , Aguirre T. Katherine , Poveda F. Dussan
Published: June 2023

El objetivo es exponer los debates alrededor del análisis de la sostenibilidad de la deuda con base en la redefinición del concepto de ahorro público. La investigación está basada en la conceptualización, en la contextualización y en la aplicación de las metodologías convencionales de la sostenibilidad. Bajo esta última se determinó principalmente que: i) la deuda fue sostenible hasta 2008; y, ii) a pesar de que en 2015 la economía se desaceleró fuertemente, la insostenibilidad se redujo. Se concluye que cuando un país en desarrollo supera problemas estructurales, a través de la movilización del ahorro, contribuye a la posición patrimonial de la economía para sostener la deuda pública en los próximos periodos a través de un crecimiento económico más alto y sostenido.

Garantir a qualidade da assistência e a segurança para os pacientes é meta prioritária das políticas de saúde e a implantação da cultura de segurança exige capacitação dos diversos âmbitos da saúde, ou seja, a equipe de profissionais precisa aplicar os resultados dessa avaliação na rotina do trabalho. Nesse contexto, houve uma inquietação na busca de metodologias ativas para promover educação permanente aos profissionais da assistência e serviços de apoio. Relatar o processo de capacitação por meio da aplicação de educação permanente através de metodologias ativas e ensino baseado em simulação no contexto de segurança do paciente. Trata-se de um relato de experiência, do treinamento relacionado ao evento “Oficinas do Paciente Seguro”, que contou com uma boa adesão dos participantes. No que diz respeito ao impacto gerado, espera-se uma reeducação nos serviços, pois cada profissional atua como um multiplicador de informações, colaborando com a disseminação da cultura de segurança do paciente na instituição, uma mudança de atitude dos profissionais e redução da ocorrência de certos incidentes, pois quando se trabalha com a prevenção, os resultados são positivos.

Mate burilado y etnonarrativa del conflicto armado interno en los andes: presencia militar y subversiva en la comunidad de Cochas.
Authors: Salazar Solano Roberto
Published: June 2023

Las motivaciones de este artículo se fundan en argumentar, mediante una mirada conectada con la diversidad cultural, como una práctica artístico-tradicional diseña etno-narrativas de memoria colectiva. Pericias del burilado que acaecen exclusivas en ámbitos campesinos andinos, como la comunidad campesina de Cochas, Huancayo. Develando en esa exclusividad estilística una narrativa de hechos sociales y culturales relevantes a la comunidad, como el conflicto armado interno.
Los buriladores del mate, en el valle del Mantaro, vienen haciendo representaciones de hechos históricos de relevancia sobre el mate, como el conflicto étnico-social o la violencia política. Las representaciones en el mate recogen arquetipos ancestrales que manifiestan una concepción del mundo y particularidades lógicas de cómo se ha asumido la existencia socio-histórica. Lógicas que han testimoniado los hechos de la presencia militar y subversiva en la comunidad campesina de Cochas, durante el conflicto armado interno (1980-2000).
La presente investigación propone, desde un enfoque etnohistórico, valuar la etnonarrativa testimonial del mate burilado como documento constitutivo del hecho histórico. Documento que, en su peculiaridad material, deviene contraria a una hegemonía cultural oficial que valora el documento escrito. La asunción de este documento étnico, desde el método etnohistórico, permite la inclusión de otros hechos y símbolos para la construcción de una historia democrática. La etnonarrativa de los hechos suscitados durante el contexto de violencia política son evidenciadas en la urdimbre simbólica y relato gráfico del burilador, Marcelino Hipólito Poma García. La narrativa étnica del mate de muestra, acentúa el conflicto armado interno como un hecho determinante en la historia de la comunidad, constituyendo una unidad cultural diferenciada. Unidad que testimonia y singulariza el hecho histórico; generando relaciones inmediatas con la memoria colectiva de la comunidad.

This study uses an online laboratory experiment and a post-experimental survey to test whether the Mastercard Foundation (MCF) scholarship programme causally influences the creation of cognitive social capital among University of Pretoria recipients. Cognitive social capital, which is based on commonly shared norms among subjects, leads to honest and cooperative behaviour. It is necessary for ease of information flow, a reduction in transaction costs, and allowing communities to deal with social dilemmas like common-pool resource management. The study used incentivised economic experiments on randomly selected subjects drawn from a control group (non-MCF students) and a treated group (MCF students). The experimental results from the two groups were compared to check the differences in terms of levels of trust, reciprocity, altruism, cooperation, in-group favouritism and out-group discrimination. Our results show that the scholarship programme has a significant impact only on levels of in-group favouritism and out-group discrimination. The post-experimental survey showed that MCF and non-MCF subjects were similar in terms of stated pro-social behaviour perceptions and in-group social capital creation.

Authors: He Jun
Published: June 2023

As the external environment changes, digital transformation is becoming increasingly necessary for accounting firms. Firstly the '14th Five-Year Plan' for the development of the digital economy emphasizes the importance of accelerating the digitalization of the industry. Secondly audit plays an important third-party supervisory role in the capital market and the volume of audit engagements has been growing in recent years, but the corresponding increase in audit risk due to manpower shortage, lack of time and limited resources. Finally the outbreak of the new crown epidemic reveals the problem of unenforceable on-site audits, which affects investor effectiveness and capital market efficiency. Therefore, it is important to study the impact of audit risk in accounting firms from the perspective of digital transformation to promote the digital transformation of accounting firms. In this paper, we take the example of Grant Thornton, which has a long history of development, comprehensive business lines, and is a pioneer and leader in promoting digital reform among domestic accounting firm, and is representative in digital reform. This paper firstly reveals the advantages of digital audit in the digital economy by comparing traditional audit and digital audit; secondly, it analyzes the impact mechanism of digital transformation on audit risk in accounting firms; then it examines what measures accounting firms can take to reduce audit risk, improve audit efficiency and save audit cost in the context of digital transformation. Finally, the problems of digital transformation of accounting firms are explored, and corresponding suggestions and measures are proposed. This has important guiding significance for promoting digital reform in the audit industry.

Authors: Hang Yilu
Published: June 2023

People worldwide have realized the importance of fitness since the Covid pandemic. Although the fitness industry is expected to grow rapidly after the post-pandemic era, the in-person fitness industry is in danger of being replaced by the newly emerged online fitness industry. Many studies have identified this future trend online fitness industry; however, few have given suggestions for the in-person fitness industry in terms of their future direction. Therefore, this study proposes strategies for the in-person fitness industry to thrive with the online fitness industry. The methods are to compare the product, place, price, and promotion of two in-person gym brands- Will’s and Supermonkey- and identify their similarities and difference. Then, the study will analyze a successful online fitness brand, Keep, and identify its advantages compared to in-person gyms. Through these comparisons, the study will propose the business model of in-person gyms to be competitive with the online fitness industry. The study found that Supermonkey’s business model is not replaceable by online fitness. Therefore, the study concludes that Supermonkey employs a better business model to make it competitive with the online fitness industry. Then, this study suggests in-person gyms from four business aspects to improve their business model: product, place, price, and promotion. In terms of product, the study proposes in-person gyms to develop their unique product feature, focus on community activities, and improve coaching quality. In terms of place, the study proposes in-person gyms to locate in both commercial and residential areas and offer both digital and physical products and services. In terms of price, the study proposes in-person gyms to combine the membership and pay-per-use methods. In terms of promotion, the study suggests in-person gyms minimize direct promotion of sales to the consumers; instead, in-person gyms could promote through exciting events and unique gym design.

Authors: Liu Zhilian , Yan Zhijun , Wen Jun
Published: June 2023

The article takes the 86 cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones in the first five batches of China as research objects. At first, it designs an evaluation index system including five secondary indicators and 10 tertiary indicators from economic strength, cross-border e-commerce, technological innovation, talent environment, financial environment dimensions. Next this paper constructs a niche evaluation model of cross-border e-commerce industry in comprehensive pilot zone based on the niche ecostate-ecorole theory. Finally, it uses the clustering method to compare and analyze the differences in competitiveness of cross-border e-commerce industry in different comprehensive pilot zones. The study finds that, based on the gap in industrial competitiveness, the 86 cross-border e-commerce comprehensive pilot zones can be divided into three echelons: strong, catch-up and disadvantaged. In terms of development strategies, strong comprehensive pilot zones, which are at a high niche in all dimensions, should expand their niche by integrating domestic and international resources; catch-up comprehensive pilot zones, which have demonstrated strong competitiveness in some dimensions, should actively develop synergistic cooperation with neighboring regions while giving full play to their own distinctive advantages, so as to jointly build ecological alliances and avoid homogeneous competition; disadvantaged comprehensive pilot zones with relatively weak industrial competitiveness and a lack of relevant industrial infrastructure, should improve their business environment and promote the introduction of niche through policy support.

Authors: Li Yunyi
Published: June 2023

The digital economy is an important supporting force for the high-quality development of contemporary economy. Based on the panel data samples of A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2008 to 2020, this paper empirically tests the impact of regional digital economy development on the transparency of enterprise supply chain. Research discoveries: The development of regional digital economy has reduced information asymmetry among enterprises, and enterprises no longer have to bear risks to disclose important information, thereby reducing the transparency of their supply chain; Heterogeneity testing found that: (1) the development of the digital economy has a significant inhibitory effect on the supply chain information disclosure of upstream or downstream enterprises in the industry value chain; (2) This effect is greater upstream in the industry value chain; (3) The digital economy development level of enterprises in the eastern, central, and northeastern regions of China has reduced their supply chain information disclosure. The research conclusion of this article is helpful in analyzing the policy effectiveness of current corporate information disclosure regulations, and also provides a basis for the subsequent formulation of relevant disclosure policies.

Published: June 2023

With the rapid development of financial technology, modern data mining techniques are becoming increasingly widespread in the banking industry. Telephone marketing, which offers interactivity, measurability, extensive spatial coverage, and database support, is an effective way for banks to promote their financial products. This study focuses on how to use existing customer data to explore the potential promotion value of bank financial products while meeting customer needs and to develop a telephone marketing model that is suitable for the era of big data. We begin by analyzing the data of a Portuguese bank to predict whether customers will sign a long-term deposit agreement and identify which features have a significant impact on the response variable. Univariate analysis is used to identify these features, and then the logistic regression model is employed to confirm them. Finally, the random forest model is used to identify the variables that have the greatest impact on customer response. After identifying these key variables, we analyze the reasons and provide improvement measures and optimization strategies for the telephone marketing promotion of bank financial products.
An Empirical Study on the Interconnections between Money Supply and Housing Price
Authors: Huang Yinqian
Published: June 2023

In recent years, the COVID-19 epidemic has caused varying degrees of impact on the M2 money supply. Though the money supply side, a rise in the money supply will cause superfluous funds to access the real estate sector through various channels, which will have an impact on the real estate sector. In this paper, the VAR model is adopted to explore the mutual dynamic influence between M2 and real estate prices through variable stability test, lag selection of VAR model, convergence, impulse response and variance decomposition, etc. The analysis shows that the money supply of M2 positively influences the housing prices in China, however, the housing price has little effect on M2. In other word, the connection is unidirectional, from M2 to housing prices. Based on the consequences of concrete analysis, this paper provides some reference approaches for the progress of our real estate industry in the future.

Introduction:

Fixation in intercalary allograft reconstruction includes plates and intramedullary nails. The purpose of this study was to examine rates of nonunion, fracture, the overall need for revision surgery, and allograft survival based on the surgical fixation method in lower extremity intercalary allografts.

Methods:

A retrospective chart review was performed on 51 patients with intercalary allograft reconstruction in the lower extremity. Fixation methods compared were intramedullary fixation with nails (IMN) and extramedullary fixation with plates (EMP). Complications compared were nonunion, fracture, and wound complications. The alpha was set at 0.05 for statistical analysis.

Results:

Nonunion incidence at all allograft-to-native bone junction sites was 21% (IMN) and 25% (EMP) (P = 0.8). Fracture incidence was 24% (IMN) and 32% (EMP) (P = 0.75). Median fracture-free allograft survival was 7.9 years (IMN) and 3.2 years (EMP) (P = 0.04). Infection was seen in 18% (IMN) and 12% (EMP) (P = 0.7). The overall need for revision surgery was 59% (IMN) and 71% (EMP) (P = 0.53). Allograft survival at the final follow-up was 82% (IMN) and 65% (EMP) (P = 0.33). When the EMP group was subdivided into single plate (SP) and multiple plate (MP) groups and compared with the IMN groups, fracture rates were 24% (IMN), 8% (SP), and 48% (MP) (P = 0.04). Rates of revision surgery were 59% (IMN), 46% (SP), and 86% (MP) (P = 0.04). Allograft survival at the final follow-up was 88% (IMN), 92% (SP), and 52% (MP) (P = 0.05).

Discussion:

Median fracture-free allograft survival was notably longer for the IMN group than the EMP group; otherwise, there were no notable differences between the intramedullary and extramedullary groups. When the EMP group was subdivided into the SP and MP groups, patients with MPs had higher rates of fracture, higher rates of revision surgery, and lower overall allograft survival.

The Snuffbox: The Effect of Smokeless Tobacco Use on Scaphoid Fracture Healing
Authors: Waters Timothy L. , Collins Lacee K. , Cole Matthew W. , Medvedev Gleb , Lee Olivia C. , Salas Zachary , Sherman William F.
Published: June 2023

Background:

Smoking has been demonstrated to be a risk factor for nonunion of scaphoid fractures, but it is unclear if chewing tobacco confers similar risk. The purpose of this study was to evaluate rates of bone-related complications after nonsurgical management of scaphoid fractures in smokeless tobacco users compared with matched control subjects and compared with smokers.

Methods:

A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the PearlDiver database. For patients who underwent nonsurgical management of scaphoid fractures, 212 smokeless tobacco users and 6,048 smokers were matched 1:4 with control subjects (n = 848 and 24,192, respectively) and 212 smokeless tobacco users were matched 1:4 with 848 smokers. Rates of bone-related complications within 2 years of initial injury were compared using multivariable logistic regression.

Results:

From weeks 12 through 104 after initial injury, compared with control subjects who do not use tobacco, the smokeless tobacco cohort demonstrated markedly higher rates of nonunion (5.7% vs 2.7%, OR: 2.07). Compared with control subjects who do not use tobacco, the smoking cohort demonstrated markedly higher rates of nonunion (4.3% vs 2.6%, OR: 1.91), repair of nonunion (1.5% vs 0.9%, OR: 1.87), and four corner fusion and proximal row carpectomy (0.3% vs 0.1%, OR: 3.17). Smokeless tobacco use was markedly underdiagnosed in the adult male cohort of unilateral scaphoid fractures with 2 years of follow-up found in the database (372 of 25,704, 1.45%) relative to Centers for Disease Control estimates for adult male smokeless tobacco use (4.5%) (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

Given the higher rates of nonunion diagnoses after nonsurgical management in this cohort, surgeons should consider asking all patients with scaphoid fractures if they use smokeless tobacco or smoke and consider adding this to the patient's intake history to further identify patients at risk for nonunions. Tobacco cessation counseling is indicated for all tobacco users, including smokeless with scaphoid fractures.

Pathogenicity and Virulence of Flavobacterium columnare Isolated from Farmed African Catfish, Clarias gariepinus (Burchell 1822)
Authors: Akinola Oladosu
Published: June 2023

Columnaris disease caused by the multi-variant Flavobacterium columnare is known to be responsible for severe mortality in wild and cultured freshwater fish species worldwide. Incidence of conditions presenting with clinical signs typical of Columnaris disease has been reported by catfish farmers in Nigeria. There is, therefore, the need to ascertain the pathogenicity and virulence of F. columnare isolates from disease conditions, as a prelude to molecular characterization of genetic variants of the bacterium in Nigeria. Four groups of 10 African catfish, Clarias gariepinus weighing 32 – 40 g were experimentally infected with 106 CFU/L of different isolates of F. columnare, identified using diagnostic PCR. Similar number of fish in a fifth group were not infected (Control). All Experimental treatments were replicated once. Percentage morbidity and mortality were observed and compared between experimental groups using descriptive statistics, while cellular structures of normal, discoloured and necrotic skin of affected fish were also studied. All F. columnare isolates used in the experimental infection were observed to be pathogenic, causing clinical signs and mortality in infected fish. Lesions observed were external, with characteristic dermatitis typically referred to as saddle-back lesion being prominent. There is gross variation in morbidity and mortality among the different isolates, with the highest being 80% (for both) and the least, 55% and 40%, respectively. There was vacuolation in the epidermal cells and reduction in melanocytes in the discoloured skin but complete erosion of the epidermis in severe dermatitis. There is the likelihood that some of the F. columnare isolates used in this study differ genetically, indicating the need for the identification of the different genetic variants available in Nigeria.

Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is an economically significant diseases in the bovine industry causing severe economic losses and there is no specific treatment so the primary aim of control to detect and remove persistently infected cattle (PI carriers) which serve as a virus source by shedding the virus life along and responsible for the presence of the virus within herds. So early diagnosis of PI animal is the critical point. To our knowledge, there have been no reports about the disease’s situation in New valley province, Egypt. The goal of this study was to serodiagnosis of BVD infection by Serum Neutralization Test (SNT) and early diagnosis of PI animals using BVDV Ag (POC)Test and Double antibody Sandwich ELISA (DS. ELISA) .In this study a total of 320 cattle of different ages, sexes, and breeds (not previously vaccinated with BVD vaccines) were screened clinically for symptoms of BVD infection, 92 cattle out of the totally screened 320 cattle showed clinical signs arousing suspicion of BVD( respiratory manifestation, diarrhea, growth retardation, oral lesion, and abortion) and undergo SNT and the result shows the percent of infection was 31.5% (29/ 92) .20 animal out of 92 clinically diseased undergo BVDV Ag Point-of-Care Test for detection of PI animal, 11 out of 20 examined cattle (55 %) were positive. PI animal was found to be high in cattle aged>2 months – 6 months than in other age groups. Also, male cattle had a greater infection rate than female ones, and infection was high in Frisian than in native bread. For more accurate confirmation five positive PI animal undergo (DS. ELISA).

The goal of this study was to evaluate some of the bacterial microorganisms that contribute to the summer mass mortality syndrome in Nile tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) kept in captivity in the Kafr El-Sheikh governorate. The fish samples were from five private fish farms with high mortality. Hundred diseased Nile tilapia fish (weighing 100–150 g) were collected from these farms (20 samples from each farm). The fish were examined at the farm to detect the clinical signs. The collected samples were sent to the lab for postmortem examination, bacteriological examination, and an antibiogram (sensitivity test) of isolated bacteria. The examined fish farms suffered from mass mortalities; the affected fish displayed respiratory symptoms, dark coloration of the skin, hemorrhagic skin lesions, ulceration, exophthalmia, and ascetics. PM examination showed congestion with enlargement and adhesion of the internal organs (liver, spleen) with abdominal fluid. The isolated bacteria were Aeromonas spp. (28%), Pseudomonas spp. (16%), and Edwardsiella tarda (5%). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify primers targeting gyrB as well as the detection of some virulence genes of Aeromonas hydrophila using one set of primers targeting the detection of the virulent genes AST gene (331bp), Lip gene (382 bp) and Alt gene (442bp). All nine PCR examined isolates were positive for the gyrB-conserved gene, and five examined samples were positive for three genes except sample number 2, which was negative for the Lip gene and the Alt gene. The result of the sensitivity test revealed that isolated bacteria were resistant to Erythromycin, Sulfamethazole Trimethoprim, and Lincomycin, while they were sensitive to Doxycycline and Enrofloxacin. Treatment of farm number 3 with doxycycline for 10 days and farm number 4 with Florfenicol for 10 days resulted in a significant decrease in mortality rates and an improvement in the health status of the fish.

Terörizm devletlerin en temel güvenlik sorunlarının temelini oluşturmaktadır. Tarihsel süreçte yaşanan gelişmeler terörizmin doğasını da etkilemiş ve terörizm kendisini zamana göre revize edebilmiştir. Terörün sahip olduğu karmaşık örüntü, ortak bir tanım yapılmasında ciddi bir engel oluşturmaktadır. Diğer yandan terörizmin dini içselleştirme çabası, terörle mücadele adına çok daha tehlikeli sonuçlar ortaya çıkarabilmektir. El Kaide ile başlayan ve Irak Şam İslam Devleti (IŞİD) ile devam eden eylemler neticesinde terörizm, dinamik ve küresel bir boyut seyrederek son yüzyılın en mühim tehlikelerinden birini oluşturmuştur. IŞİD’in şiddet eylemlerine dini referans sunmasının yanında Sünni bir kimlik inşa etme çabası terörle mücadeleyi daha kompleks bir alana dönüştürmüştür. Dolayısıyla, IŞID’in din üzerinden oluşturmak istediği meşruiyet alanlarının ve kullandığı dini referanslar ele alınarak IŞİD’in sahip olduğu özgün yapısı ve ideolojisinin analiz edilmesi örgütün din ve dini değerler üzerinden oluşturmak istediği meşruiyet alanının ortaya konulmasını sağlayacaktır. Nitekim örgütün din üzerinden meşruiyet alanı oluşturmak isterken kullandığı dini referansların gerçek anlamları dışına çıkartıldığı çalışma boyunca vurgulanmıştır. Ayrıca çalışmada, örgütün bölgedeki yükselişinde Ortadoğu coğrafyasının koşullarının oynadığı role dikkat çekmek amaçlanmıştır. Nitekim söz konusu koşullar, IŞİD’in ruhunun mutlak varlığını besleyen kaynaklar sunmaktadır.
Economic Performance of Czech Enterprises under the Control of Subjects from War-Affected European Countries and Their Comparison with Western and V4 Controlling Countries
Authors:   Czech Statistical Office, Prague, Czech Republic, Zeman Jan
Published: June 2023

The article deals with the evaluation of the economic performance of domestic enterprises under foreign control, especially by subjects from Eastern European countries currently involved in the war conflict in Ukraine, through several key indicators monitored by Inward Foreign Affiliates Statistics (IFATS) and compiled by the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO). The war conflict in Ukraine raises, among other, questions about the effects of sanctions against aggressor countries. IFATS could serve as one possible source for evaluation of their impact with new data coming in the future. In the article, selected data from the IFATS database will be compared for the economy as a whole and according to the specific prevailing economic activities as well. Although the contribution of enterprises controlled by subjects from both aggressor countries and Ukraine to the Czech economy is quite marginal, the latter ones are among the most represented in terms of their number that is still growing. However, their economic importance grows much slower.
Hedonic Price Methods and Real Estate Price Index: an Explanatory Study for Apartments Market in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, from 2004 to 2015
Authors:   Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Ribeiro Paixão Luiz Andrés
Published: June 2023

Brazil does not have an official real estate price index yet. A 2011 presidential decree stipulated for the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) the assignment to create and spread a real estate price index for Brazil. In this paper, we test some different hedonic model methods to estimate quarterly price indices for apartments in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, from January 2005 to December 2015. Our goals are: i) to measure and compare the different hedonic methods; ii) to present some results that will contribute to the discussion about the development of an official real estate price index in Brazil. The empirical results corroborate the idea of intense apartment prices valuation in Belo Horizonte, mainly between 2007 and 2011, when the annual price index growth remained above 20%. These results cast light on the potential use of both hedonic methods and administrative data base to construct an official real estate price index for Brazil.
CONTAMINAÇÃO DE ÁGUAS SUBTERRÂNEAS POR NECROCHORUME
Authors: Goelzer Daniela Philippsen , Carvalho Tiago Santos
Published: June 2023

Os cemitérios são fontes potenciais de impactos ambientais, principalmente quanto ao risco de contaminação das águas subterrâneas e superficiais por bactérias e vírus que proliferam durante os processos de decomposição dos corpos, além das substâncias químicas liberadas pelos mesmos. Consequentemente, esta água contaminada, frequentemente, acaba sendo utilizada pelas populações vizinhas às necrópoles. Considerando-se que em significativa parcela de cemitérios municipais existentes não foram realizados prévios estudos hidrogeológicos e de saneamento, os mesmos constituem-se em um alto potencial de risco de contaminação para as águas subterrâneas. O objetivo do presente estudo é descrever o potencial de contaminação do necrochorume gerado pela atividade cemiterial sobre as águas subterrâneas, enfatizados os riscos de contaminação ambiental e de saúde pública.

Introdução: Apesar do crescimento da indústria de cosméticos no Brasil e mundo, a maioria dos produtos são direcionados para a pele branca, ignorando as particularidades da pele negra. O mercado de cosméticos para mulheres negras cresce, mas ainda há desafios no acesso a produtos específicos. Empresas investem em pesquisas, mas a inclusão e diversidade precisam ser garantidas na indústria cosmética. Objetivos: Dessa forma, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar, através da literatura, os cosméticos que podem ser utilizados por pessoas com pele negra, investigando as necessidades específicas desse grupo em relação aos produtos de cuidados com a pele Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica descritiva, exploratória do tipo revisão integrativa da literatura. Este trabalho apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a utilização dos cosméticos direcionados para pessoas de pele negra. Para isso, foram selecionados estudos publicados nos últimos 14 anos, em inglês ou português, com textos completos gratuitos e disponíveis nas bases de dados científicas selecionadas, como Web of Science, Scopus, PUBMED e Google Scholar. Foram excluídos estudos que estavam em idioma diferente do inglês e português, bem como, que não abordavam o uso de cosméticos no cuidado especifico da pele negra ou que não apresentavam textos completos e gratuitos. Para a seleção dos artigos foram realizadas leituras prévias através dos títulos e resumos, sendo escolhidos os que atendiam ao tema da pesquisa. Resultados: Com esta pesquisa foi possível obter inicialmente 25 artigos na base de dados PUBMED, após leitura minuciosa foram selecionados apenas 06 artigos, pois eram os que atendiam aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão estabelecidos nessa pesquisa. Artigos científicos discutiram que a pele étnica apresenta diferenças na estrutura, função e aparência em indivíduos de diferentes grupos étnicos. Assim com, discutiu-se a importância da proteção solar e hidratação adequadas da pele negra. Houve a recomendação de escolher protetores solares que incluíssem a proteção contra UVA1 e a utilização de produtos hidratantes com lipídios, como ceramidas. Peelings químicos com alfa-hidroxiácidos, ácido salicílico e mandélico foram considerados seguros e eficazes para tratar melasma em pacientes de pele negra. Conclusão: Os artigos analisados enfatizaram a importância de entender as diferenças na estrutura, função e aparência da pele entre diferentes grupos étnicos, especialmente no cuidado da pele negra. No entanto, foi observada uma escassez de estudos sobre os cosméticos mais adequados para uso em pele negra, indicando a necessidade de mais pesquisas nessa área, pois a abordagem personalizada para o cuidado da pele é crucial para garantir a saúde e qualidade de vida dos pacientes com pele negra.
