Compassion Fatigue Amongst Resident Doctors of a Medical College
Authors: Jain Seema , Gupta RC , Kumar Sanjeev , Singh Kraty , Bandhu Ravi , Pal Tarun
Published: May 2024

Background: The healthcare sector demands tireless commitment and resident doctors go through intensive clinical training with long working hours and emotionally charged patient interactions. This might lead to emotional exhaustion, reduced empathy, and a sense of diminished personal accomplishment, all of which is a part of the complex psychological condition of compassion fatigue, which can profoundly impact the well-being of healthcare professionals. Compassion fatigue is a term given to the secondary stress suffered by those in helping professions who are working with those suffering from trauma.Objectives: (1) To assess the prevalence of compassion fatigue in resident doctors. (2) To find out the association between compassion fatigue and work-related factors among resident doctors.Methods: The present cross-sectional study was done among the doctors in the Tertiary Care Centre of district Meerut. Data was collected from 200 residents of different departments and medical specialities using a questionnaire consisting of professional quality of life scale along with information regarding sociodemographic and work-related factors.Result: A higher level of compassion satisfaction was seen in those who had more years of practice. Residents with excessive number of work hours and predominantly overnight shifts appear to be at higher risk of developing compassion fatigue related to higher burnout and secondary traumatic stress.Conclusion: The assessment of compassion fatigue among resident doctors highlights the impact of working conditions on their well-being. Addressing factors like long working hours, high patient loads, and lack of support from administration will help reduce compassion fatigue among the resident doctors.

Authors: . Taniya , Somani Aditya , Gupta Rakesh Kumar , Kumar Ajay
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) are cheap and readily available blood parameters that are markers of inflammation and bear the potential to serve as biomarkers for depression.Aims: The primary objective of this study was to compare PLR and MLR in patients of unipolar depression with healthy controls. The secondary objectives of this study were to analyze the correlation of PLR and MLR with the severity of depression at baseline and to assess the change in PLR and MLR in patients with depression after treatment.Subjects and methods: Consenting drug-free patients of unipolar depression were included as cases if they were aged > 18 years, any gender, and were free of other psychiatric disorders, substance dependence except caffeine/nicotine, major medical/hematological illness/infection, pregnancy, or lactation. Age and sex-matched healthy adults were recruited as controls with consent. All the participants were assessed at baseline, and cases were reassessed after at least six weeks of treatment.Results: The PLR was significantly higher (p-value = 0.002) among the cases (median: 124.51, IQR:63.17) than the controls (median: 99.50, IQR:47.85), at baseline before starting treatment. The area under the curve for the receiver operating characteristic curve for PLR values at baseline was 0.633. The MLR did not differ significantly between the two groups. There was no change in PLR or MLR in cases after treatment. The PLR and MLR values did not correlate with the severity of depression at baseline.Conclusion: PLR, not MLR, could be a potential trait marker for depression. Further studies are warranted
Psychedelic Drugs: A Mind-expanding Hallucinogens
Authors: Das Shreyasee , Shil Rahul
Published: May 2024

Psychedelics are mainly from the class of psychoactive substances whose action is to produce changes in the perception, mood, cognitive behavior, and processes of a person. This psychedelic drug creates an alteration in a person’s thinking, sense of time, and emotions. Hallucinations can be a main cause for people who take psychedelics. Mainly, these psychedelic drugs have been used since ancient times. The most famous psychedelics that were used abundantly were magic mushrooms, mescaline, and DMT, which people used for smoking, swallowing, or inhaling. Mushrooms were usually eaten fresh, cooked, or mixed with tea. Occasionally, people of the ancient period used to take it with tobacco or cannabis. The common forms of NBOMe are inactive when swallowed; the most common methods of taking them are under the tongue, held on the cheek, or snorted. Some types of psychedelic drugs, such as psilocybin and MDMA (ecstasy), have helped in therapies for treatment-resistant depression and post-traumatic stress disorder
Study of Activation Energy for Viscous Flow of Mixtures as a Measure of Dilution Efficiency for Heavy Oil-Diluent Systems
Authors: Miadonye Adango , Amadu Mumuni , Kumari Iysha , Jain Isha
Published: May 2024

As the demand for crude oil continues to increase in response to the continued global needs for it, the development of unconventional crude oil reserves is the only way to sustain global supply. However, the excessively higher viscosity of heavy crude oil makes it less attractive for conventional pipeline transportation. Therefore, reducing the viscosity of heavy crude oil to meet crude oil transporting pipeline regulations is a necessity. This paper has assessed the dilution efficiency of well-known diluents in the petroleum industry, using different dilution ratios based on a thermodynamic approach involving activation energy and heat of vaporization determination. Based on selected dilution ratios, kinematic viscosities of binary and ternary systems of toluene and natural gas condensate as diluents, and Saudi Heavy crude oil as the base oil were measured, using anticipated field based temperatures reported in the literature, which facilitated the experimental approach. The study shows that although the ternary systems have the lowest activation energy for viscous flow and heat of vaporization in accordance with the thermal activation theory of viscous flow, natural gas condensate binary systems have the lowest cost of transportation per barrel of total fluid in the transporting pipeline. The study further shows that the binary systems for toluene and Saudi Heavy crude oil have higher activation energy for viscous flowed compared to the toluene systems.

Authors: Bhatti Farkhunda , Kazi Kamran , Zafar Farhan
Published: May 2024

Nonlinear dynamics of longitudinal and lateral traction of ground vehicles has been investigated in this work and later on used these dynamics on usefulness of brake steer system which uses differential brakes for small steering interventions to keep the vehicle on line. A controller design for Antilock braking (ABS) of a four wheel vehicle whose two rear wheels are braking and front wheels are non-braking is proposed. The major part of our work is tuning to the suitable braking force for two rear wheels and minimizing the stopping distance in short time while front wheels are not braking then finding steer of vehicle by applying different forces on rear right and rear left wheels. These two different forces produce rotational torque in vehicle . These are known as differential brakes which are commonly used to steer the vehicle and its lateral position. Stability has been discussed. Both lateral and longitudinal control motion of the vehicle are simulated. The proposed control scheme is successfully tested in MATLAB simulation.

Published: May 2024

This research investigates the breakdown voltage of SF6 gas using several electrode configurations, including Sphere-sphere, Rod-rod, Plate-plate, Sphere-plate, and Rod-plate, to guarantee sufficient clearance for an acceptable insulation level. The objective of the various electrode geometries is to produce a homogeneous and non-homogeneous electric field wherein the SF6 gas breakdown could be analyzed. The simulation under the influence of six gaps length be-tween electrodes (0.5cm, 1cm, 2cm, 3cm, 4cm, 5cm) were conducted. The lowest breakdown voltage is found in the Rod-rod electrode arrangement, followed by Plate-plate and Sphere-sphere electrode configuration. Compared with the Sphere-sphere electrode design, the Rod-rod electrode configuration is also asymmetric, with a substantially more inhomogeneous electric field. Based on the results, the Rod-plate and Sphere-plate arrangements appear to be asymmetrical. In the event of discharge and breakdown voltage, different electrode configurations have a significant influence. This study helps to identify the most suitable clearance and electrodes configuration in high voltage SF6 circuit breakers. A few researches were performed to find the breakdown voltage of SF6 gas in medium voltage applications under homogeneous electric stress. Some research paper also studied to find the breakdown voltage of SF6 gas under different temperature and pressure. However, this paper is based on finding out the breakdown voltage of SF6 gas in high voltage application providing homogeneous and non-homogeneous electric stress. This homogeneous and non-homogeneous electric field is designed using different electrodes configuration.

Published: May 2024

Nanocrystalline powders of ZrC were prepared by mechanochemical synthesis of elemental Zirconium (Zr) and Carbon (C) powder. Two different Process Control Agents (PCA’s), i.e. Toluene and n-Hexane were used to avoid the agglomeration of the nanoparticles. For the purpose of the present study, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) have been employed. A complete single phase of fcc-ZrC was obtained after 165 ks of milling time. No impurity other than oxygen was detected in the samples. n-Hexane compare to toluene was observed to inhibit the agglomeration more efficiently. ZrC nanoparticles were successfully synthesized indigenously, using mechanochemical synthesis. This can be used as a potential coating agent in indigenous industry specially the nuclear power industry.

Facing the Demons of the Past: Transitional Justice in Gujarat
Authors: Kilara Ameya
Published: May 2024

Scholars of transitional justice have recently suggested that our understanding of transitions need not be restricted to societies moving from authoritarian regimes to democracy. In fact, “non-paradigm transitions” occur in purportedly democratic states as well, in the aftermath of large-scale and State-sanctioned violations of human rights. This article focuses on one such non-paradigm transition occurring in the state of Gujarat in India post the 2002 communal carnage. The author proposes that in addition to retributive responses to the human rights violations, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission should be seriously considered as a means of effecting a real transition to peace in Gujarat.
Into the Breach: The Legislative Function of Taboo
Authors: Abrar Ali M
Published: May 2024

Taboos are often viewed with suspicion by modern eyes. The very word "taboo" evokes a sense of unfreedom, of limitation. Indeed, when one thinks of now-extinct taboos, the repressive and reactionary nature of taboos is clearly displayed. This, however, is not an argument for the dismantling of all taboos. There are many aspects of social lfe that a community may wish to govern but cannot through the regular legislative channels. In many cases, such governance might be viewed as an unjustifiable infringement on libery. There are, however, some cases in which a taboo may be justified because of the protection it offers against a real harm. This article will explore the idea of informal social legislation through taboo, and will attempt to rescue (some) taboos from the posiion of disfavour they currently find themselves in. In the process, this article will establish criteria by which justfiable taboos may be separated frm the unjustfiable.

Rethinking Regional Embeddedness and Innovation Systems for Transitions Towards Just, Responsible, and Circular Bioeconomies
Authors: Schlaile Michael P. , Friedrich Jonathan , Zscheischler Jana
Published: May 2024

Few studies have explicitly explored regional embeddedness and both the inconsistencies and injustices of circular bioeconomy (CBE) innovations. To better navigate the normative dimension of these innovations and CBE transitions in general, our article presents a threefold argument for the relevance of the regional level of analysis. First, CBE innovations are influenced by and affect regional metabolisms and actor constellations, assets, and (biophysical) resources within regional innovation systems (RIS). Second, thoroughly exploring these dimensions of regional (un)embeddedness can reveal ethical concerns, including potential "dark sides" and injustices, such as exclusivity and exploitation. Third, to address these concerns in CBE research and governance, we outline four facets: complementing the RIS as a framework and policy approach, balancing creative and destructive measures, addressing the need for more inclusive regional CBE policies, and establishing dedicated intermediaries to better govern regional CBE transitions. In summary, this conceptual article provides starting points for further research and proactive measures that help govern the normative dimension and the design of CBE transitions at the regional level, promoting inclusivity, justice, responsibility, and legitimacy for both innovation and exnovation.

Introduction: Binge eating disorder (BED) is closely associated with obesity, characterized by the repeated consumption of large amounts of food accompanied by a feeling of loss of control during the episode of binge eating. Existing treatments are moderately effective with high rates of recurrence; thus, physical exercise and neuromodulation techniques have emerged with positive potential associated with self-control in reward brain regions. Objective: To investigate whether 20 sessions of transcranial direct current (tDCS) stimulation alone or combined with aerobic exercise (AE) could reduce food consumption and the perception of hunger and satiety in adult individuals with BED. Methods: Adult individuals with BED were included in a randomized, double-blind study. Participants received 20 sessions according to random randomization (1) active tDCS, (2) placebo and AE tDCS or (3) active tDCS and AE, simultaneously with videos of foods that cause fissures, such as sweets and fast foods. tDCS was applied at 2mA / 20 min, with the anode over the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the cathode over the contralateral supraorbital region (Soterix Medical®). The AE was performed on a treadmill after tDCS, at an intensity of 60-65% of HRmax, repeating the evaluations at the end. Primary outcomes included measures of food intake and perceptions of hunger, satiety and desire. Secondary outcomes were assessed through body composition, biochemical markers (lipid, glycaemic and leptin profile) and maximum oxygen consumption. Results: The tDCS group had lower values of triglycerides and lean mass compared to the other groups. However, in relation to food intake, hunger, satiety throughout the day, and uncontrollable desire to eat, there was no difference between the groups. Conclusions: tDCS alone was able to improve more clinical outcomes such as adipose mass and triglycerides. To our knowledge, to date this is the first study to demonstrate that the association of tDCS with aerobic exercise can improve the symptoms of binge eating in the investigated population.

Um dos principais problemas enfrentados por planejadores de recursos hídricos, diz respeito ao estudo das modificações temporal e espacial dos deflúvios naturais para atender aos padrões de consumo requeridos pela propriedade rural. Neste contexto, um reservatório, ou açude, age como um sistema que efetua o transporte da água ao longo do tempo. Portanto, objetivou-se com o seguinte trabalho utilizar a modelagem hidrológica em reservatórios em uma propriedade em Quixeramobim, Ceará. O trabalho foi realizado em uma fazenda, no município de Quixeramobim–CE. O seguinte trabalho tratou-se de um levantamento de uma série histórica de precipitação pluviométrica em Quixeramobim, utilizando-se de dados do site da FUNCEME nos últimos 40 anos. Foram realizadas simulações de quatro reservatórios, com a utilização do software Vyelas (versão 3). Após as simulações dos quatro reservatórios avaliados, realizou-se uma análise descritiva dos resultados obtidos. Observou que os açudes 01 e 03 não apresentam uma boa produção de biomassa de forragem (kg de MSTF/ano), entretanto, apenas o reservatório açude 04 apresenta uma boa área irrigável de 7,78 ha. Observou-se que apenas o reservatório açude 04 apresentou uma boa área irrigável de 2,05 ha, apresentando uma produção de biomassa de forragem total, por ano, de 97.5000,00 kg de MSTF/ano. O açude 01, não deu garantia de uso da água, tendo o proprietário que utilizar a metade do volume de entrada para produção de forragem, sendo aconselhável para o mesmo armazenar a forragem do que água; açude 02, deu garantia de 40%, podendo o produtor durante 40% do ano utilizar-se da água para irrigação de uma área de 0,14 há. O açude 03, repetiu o resultado do açude 01, não dando garantia de uso da água, sendo recomendado o armazenamento de forragem e não da água, já açude 04, deu como garantia 50%. Conclui-se que, o açude 04 é o que apresenta o maior potencial para produção de forragem e capacidade de suporte, maior área irrigável e produção de biomassa de forragem total por ano, dessa forma, sendo o único reservatório que tem potencial para ser utilizado para irrigação.

A dopamina (1,2-dihidroxibenzeno-5-etanoamina) é um importante neurotransmissor, pertencente à família das catecolaminas e é precursor metabólico de outras catecolaminas, como noradrenalina a adrenalina, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo desenvolver um método eletroanalítico para determinação de dopamina (DA) em amostras de urina sintética e em amostras água do rio Itapecurú localizado em Caxias-MA , utilizando um mini eletrodo impresso de carbono (EIC) como sensor através da técnica de voltametria de pulso diferencial (VPD).  Com o auxílio de mini-potenciostato/galvanostato acoplado a um computador, foram obtidos resultados para estudo do eletrólito de suporte, da concentração e do pH. Os estudos dos parâmetros das técnicas de voltametria de pulso diferencial foram realizados em meio a tampão fosfato 0,1 mol L-1 e pH 7,0, na presença de DA 1,0x10-4 mol L-1, posteriormente, com condições aprimoradas foi obtida uma curva analítica com comportamento linear no intervalo de concentração de DA entre 1,93 x10-6 a 1,89 x10-5 mol L-1, com limites de detecção e de quantificação de 1,20 x 10-7 e 4,00 x 10-7 mol L-1, respectivamente. Utilizando o método de adição de padrão como abordagem principal na aplicação, obteve-se sucesso na análise de DA em amostras provenientes do rio Itapecuru e de urina sintética, demonstrando que os resultados obtidos foram satisfatórios, comprovando a viabilidade do método eletroquímico proposto para a quantificação de DA em amostras de interesse.
Entre mestres e discípulos: um debate sobre a anatomia do olho e as doenças oculares na idade média (França, séc. XIII – XIV)
Authors: Damaceno Mauricio Ribeiro
Published: May 2024

A história da medicina, da saúde e das doenças tem se mostrado uma área promissora no campo historiográfico ao revelar aspectos importantes do conhecimento a respeito do corpo e da relação entre teorias antigas, medievais e provenientes de diferentes culturas. Os estudos anatômicos dos olhos e o trato das doenças oculares, objeto deste debate, revelam uma profunda relação com as teorias de autoridades como Galeno, Avicena, Albucasis, Jesu Ali e Alcoatí. Com exceção de Galeno, todos os outros estão ligados a cultura mulçumana e são citados por físicos cristãos como Henri de Mondeville e seu discípulo, Guy de Chauliac. O estudo dos tratados dessas duas autoridades médicas francesas, mostra os caminhos teóricos trilhados e a presciência e/ou superação de erros. Para o tratamento de doenças como a oftalmia, úlceras e sebel, eram usados, majoritariamente, medicamentos compostos em forma de colírio, emplastros e pomadas. Já a catarata, apesar de ser um procedimento delicado, era tratada através de intervenções cirúrgicas. Por fim, a análise comparativa das obras “A Cirurgia” e “Cirurgia Magna”, revelam ainda, a relação de continuidade, de forma direta ou indireta, da escrita dos dois autores.
Sobre educação e democracia: uma análise crítica do discurso
Authors: Silva Arivan Salustiano da , Santos Lucineia Macedo dos , Barros Solange Maria de
Published: May 2024

Neste trabalho buscamos analisar o discurso do então Ministro da Educação, Milton Ribeiro, materializado em falas publicadas no site da Revista Fórum, no dia 1º de outubro de 2020, com base em entrevista concedida ao site Brasil Sem Medo, intitulada: “Milton Ribeiro defende interferência de Bolsonaro nas universidades: ‘palavra final é do presidente’”. A temática versa sobre a nomeação de reitores para as universidades federais com base não no resultado das eleições, mas sim, dando privilégio ao candidato da lista tríplice mais alinhado à ideologia do presidente da república. À luz dos fundamentos teóricos e metodológicos da Análise Crítica do Discurso, buscamos desvelar traços ideológicos deixados nas falas do ministro, que denunciam agência direta do governo no sentido de fazer do MEC e das instituições escolares espaços de disseminação da ideologia cara à gestão federal do país. O Significado Representacional (Fairclough, 2003), notadamente nas categorias de Representações de Atores Sociais, de Van Leeuwen (1997), e Significado de Palavras (Resende; Ramalho, 2006) nos ajudam a evidenciar que a gestão democrática nas universidades não era um valor para o governo, privilegiando uma postura autoritária, que poderia se estender a outras esferas da sociedade brasileira.

Published: May 2024

As comunidades remanescentes de quilombos são constituídas por grupos sociais com identidade social e histórica diferente do restante da sociedade. Esta identidade se tornou a base para a formação da organização, de suas relações com os demais grupos e de suas ações políticas. O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a importância da geografia da saúde como área interdisciplinar na discussão de aspectos teóricos e de gestão de território no planejamento de regiões de saúde para as populações quilombolas. A estruturação territorial dos serviços do SUS vem sendo feita no Brasil através da chamada “territorialização da saúde”. A descentralização dos serviços, associada à progressiva municipalização da gestão, colocou a necessidade de uma política sistematizada de planejamento territorial. Assim, conclui-se que o território e suas interfaces são importantes a partir do olhar da geografia para o processo de implementação de políticas públicas de saúde para os territórios quilombolas da Amazônia na busca de resolutividade e universalização da saúde e políticas públicas.
ASKING IN PREGNANCY ABOUT PREVIOUS TRAUMA
Authors: Cull Joanne , Thomson Gill , Downe Soo , Fine Michelle , Topalidou Anastasia
Published: May 2024

This review brings together the views of women and maternity care professionals on routine discussion of previous trauma in the perinatal period. We included 25 papers, from five countries, published between 2001 and 2022. Women and clinicians generally felt trauma discussions were valuable provided there was adequate time and resources. Women were more likely to disclose trauma when they had a trusting relationship with the clinician, but some women chose not to share their histories regardless. Hearing trauma disclosures could be emotionally difficult for clinicians. National guidelines are needed to help midwives navigate discussions with pregnant women about past traumas.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Organisational Behaviour of Small Businesses in Malta
Authors: Muscat John , Aquilina Ronald
Published: May 2024

COVID-19 struck the world at the beginning of 2020, originating as a local outbreak of a potentially fatal disease in China and rapidly spreading across the entire globe, eventually being declared a pandemic. Malta reported the first cases in March 2020, with the government announcing a state of public health emergency shortly after. Several mitigation measures were introduced to control the virus and seek to minimise the health-related and economic effects on society. Being dependent on human beings, businesses are facing persistent challenges in managing their internal and external environment on a scale they have never been exposed to before. This study specifically explores the extent to which the pandemic affected the organisational behaviour of small businesses operating in Malta—a phenomenon about which there are few published studies as yet. Using grounded theory, an inductive approach is adopted to interpret the experiences narrated during interviews by seven participants who are either owner-managers or employees of separate firms. The interrelationship observed between the factors affecting organisational behaviour is presented through a conceptual model. This provides a way of tracing the path taken by organisations based on pre-COVID conditions, their reactions, and the final consequences. Ten propositions are offered to the small business community and other stakeholders as a synthesis of the research findings. In particular, the positive traits adopted by businesses that have managed not only to survive by adapting to the new circumstances, but also to thrive, propose valuable insights to existing and future entrepreneurs in managing organisational behaviour as this pandemic persists, and in the event that others arise.

This paper will be examining a practice as research project which focuses on the staging of Jean-Paul Sartre’s modern classic Huis Clos, translated for the first time in Maltese as Bil-Bieb Mitbuq. Sartre’s play presents the narrative of three unrelated persons, captured for eternity in hell. Through my participation in the process as director, I will analyse the spatial dynamics of this performance in relation with the theme of otherness. In this particular production, the notion of the space is presented in a reverse manner. In the first half of the play, where the three characters are attempting to comprehend why they have been placed together in hell, the actors are enclosed in a 3 by 3 metres enclosure made of gauze. The spectators observe the characters through these gauze walls in the same way that a clinical psychologist might observe the behaviour of a patient from a one-way mirror. In the second half, where the characters seek an escape route, the gauze walls are suddenly lifted, and the characters use all the theatrical space, including the areas close to the audience. All of a sudden, unexpectedly, the audience becomes part of the action, and finds itself in hell as well. Hence, when Garcin shouts out his infamous line, the audience by this point has no other choice than to admit that even for them ‘hell is the other’. The objectives of this artistic project are also juxtaposed against the reactions provided by nine audience members who were interviewed after the performance, as well as against the published reviews of the production.
The future of building information modeling – a systematic literature review using artificial intelligence
Authors: Borkowski Andrzej
Published: May 2024

BIM is the basis for arriving at the idea of the digital twin, which in turn brings the construction industry closer to the concept of the circular economy. BIM enters into fusion with GIS, IoT, ML and uses artificial intelligence methods. Research to date has repeatedly mapped BIM in different contexts. In systematic reviews, researchers have analyzed the current state of knowledge and/or techniques. An identified research gap is the lack of a systematic review that maps publications on the future of BIM. Hence, the aim of this thesis was to conduct a broad systematic review of available predictions of BIM development and directions for future BIM research. Artificial intelligence tools – dimension.ai and ChatGPT4 – were used to support this aim. The VosViewer tool was used in the mapping. The paper presents the current and future challenges facing the AECOO industry. A prediction was also made about the development of BIM in the coming years

A Hanseníase, ocasionada pela Mycobacterium leprae, é uma enfermidade infectocontagiosa que impacta o tecido nervoso periférico e a pele, seguindo trajetórias de inervação. Apesar de possuir um baixo fator de virulência em comparação com outros microrganismos, a escassez de conhecimento em saúde na população sobre a Hanseníase contribui para desafios significativos na profilaxia, especialmente no contexto biopsicossocial. Dada a expressiva prevalência da doença no Brasil, torna-se crucial realizar uma análise epidemiológica abrangente, incluindo comparações entre diferentes regiões. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar o perfil epidemiológico da hanseníase no Brasil no período de 2022-2023. Utilizou-se dados do banco de dados LocalizaSus. O objetivo essencial é fornecer interpretações criteriosas de possíveis falhas epidemiológicas e identificar uma resposta para valores de novos casos no ano de 2023 que possam embasar práticas eficazes de prevenção e controle da Hanseníase no contexto nacional. Conforme o Relatório Epidemiológico da Hanseníase para o ano de 2023, conclui-se que a doença apresenta um panorama desafiador no enfrentamento da doença no Brasil. Em 2022, o diagnóstico de 14.962 novos casos, embora represente uma redução em relação aos anos anteriores, não deve ser interpretado como uma vitória definitiva contra a Hanseníase. A compreensão desses dados complexos é vital para orientar políticas de saúde mais eficazes. A Hanseníase continua a desafiar o sistema de saúde brasileiro e a busca por estratégias mais assertivas no combate à doença deve ser contínua e adaptativa, enfrentando os desafios que surgem em diferentes cenários epidemiológicos.
LIMITAÇÕES DO EXERCÍCIO PROFISSIONAL DO MÉDICO DO TRABALHO PARA A PROMOÇÃO DA SAÚDE E DA QUALIDADE DE VIDA DOS TRABALHADORES BANCÁRIOS
Authors: Carvalho Heitor Romero Lopes , Lopes Marcia Cristina
Published: May 2024

Indicadores epidemiológicos mostram que a população de trabalhadores bancários é um grupo vulnerável, com fatores de risco de origem física, química, biológica, ergonômica e de acidentes, presentes no ambiente e nas situações de trabalho. Tendo essa população de trabalhadores como paradigma, analisou-se a legislação brasileira pertinente à atuação profissional do médico do trabalho, imbricada sobretudo com as normas previdenciárias e trabalhistas. Contudo, mesmo após a publicação do Decreto nº 6.042/2007, que instituiu o Nexo Técnico Epidemiológico Previdenciário (NTEP), e o advento de novas tecnologias, as quais implicaram significativas mudanças no meio ambiente laboral de um estabelecimento bancário, assim como na relação banco/cliente, os trabalhadores desse segmento continuam a adoecer. O médico do trabalho, no Brasil, enquanto integrante do Serviço Especializado em Segurança e em Medicina do Trabalho (SESMT), possui um amplo espectro de atuação, de forma preventiva e corretiva, a fim de tornar o ambiente laboral sob análise seguro e salubre. No entanto, atualmente, o dimensionamento do SESMT de instituições bancárias está aquém da real necessidade para que o médico do trabalho possa desempenhar seu mister, a despeito do adoecimento dos trabalhadores bancários.
Reinterpreting Pride and Prejudice: Cultural Representation and Aesthetic Innovation in Film, TV, and Literary Adaptations
Authors: Myer Neville
Published: May 2024

This paper explores the diverse landscape of adaptations of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, examining how these reinterpretations engage with and expand upon the original work’s themes, characters, and societal critique. Through a comprehensive analysis of adaptations across various mediums—including film, television, and literature—the study highlights the novel’s enduring relevance and its ability to resonate across different cultural and temporal contexts. By analyzing adaptations that range from faithful recreations to creative retellings, this research underscores the dynamic interplay between Austen’s text and its subsequent reinterpretations, revealing how each adaptation contributes to a broader cultural discourse on issues of class, gender, and race. The paper argues that these adaptations do not merely serve as tributes to Austen’s work but act as active participants in a larger conversation, challenging and reinvigorating the understanding of the original novel. Through this synthesis, the study demonstrates the novel’s universality and its capacity to inspire reflection on contemporary societal issues, affirming the significance of Pride and Prejudice as a living text that continues to engage and provoke audiences worldwide.

Published: May 2024

The improvement of human well-being is the fundamental objective of the scramble for environmental sustainability. This study aims to investigate the effect of environmental sustainability on inclusive human development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Through the application of a system-GMM to a sample of 49 Sub-Saharan African countries from 2010 to 2017, we found a positive and statistically significant effect of environmental sustainability on inclusive human development in Sub-Saharan countries. Thus, by growing environmentally friendly trees, employing organic manure, and refraining from farming methods that contaminate the environment and expose the soil to erosion, the people of Sub-Saharan Africa should join the global fight for environmental sustainability.
Bilinear Pairings: A Secured Outsourcing with a Single Server
Authors: Ying Qing
Published: May 2024

The computation of bilinear pairs is the most computationally expensive computation for bilinear pair-based cryptographic protocols in practice. Currently, most bilinear pairing outsourcing algorithms have little checkability, or the outsourcer requires two servers for expensive calculations. In this paper, we propose an efficient and secure single-server bilinear pairing outsourcing algorithm, which allows the outsourcing party to detect dishonest errors in cloud servers with probability 1, and the outsourcing party does not need to perform some complex computations.
