HSRec: Hierarchical self-attention incorporating knowledge graph for sequential recommendation
Authors: Yang Zuoxi , Dong Shoubin
Published: November 2021

Modeling user’s fine-grained preferences and dynamic preference evolution from their chronological behaviors are challenging and crucial for sequential recommendation. In this paper, we develop a Hierarchical Self-Attention Incorporating Knowledge Graph for Sequential Recommendation (HSRec). HSRec models not only the user’s intrinsic preferences but also the user’s external potential interests to capture the user’s fine-grained preferences. Specifically, the intrinsic interest module and potential interest module are designed to capture these two preferences respectively. In the intrinsic interest module, user’s sequential patterns are characterized from their behaviors via the self-attention mechanism. As for the potential interest module, high-order paths can be generated with the help of the knowledge graph. Therefore, a hierarchical self-attention mechanism is designed to aggregate the semantic information of user interaction from these paths. Specifically, an entity-level self-attention mechanism is applied to capture the sequential patterns contained in the high-order paths while an interaction-level self-attention mechanism is designed to further capture the semantic information from user interactions. Moreover, according to the high-order semantic relevance, HSRec can explore the user’s dynamic preferences at each time, thus describing the user’s dynamic preference evolution. Finally, experiments conducted on three real world datasets demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of the HSRec.

Medical image classification and diagnosis based on machine learning has made significant achievements and gradually penetrated the healthcare industry. However, medical data characteristics such as relatively small datasets for rare diseases or imbalance in class distribution for rare conditions significantly restrains their adoption and reuse. Imbalanced datasets lead to difficulties in learning and obtaining accurate predictive models. This paper follows the FAIR paradigm and proposes a technique for the alignment of class distribution, which enables improving image classification performance in imbalanced data and ensuring data reuse. The experiments on the acne disease dataset support that the proposed framework outperforms the baselines and enable to achieve up to 5% improvement in image classification.

Distribution-Based Similarity Measures Applied to Laboratory Results Matching
Authors: Courtois Martin , Filiot Alexandre , Ficheur Gregoire
Published: November 2021

The use of international laboratory terminologies inside hospital information systems is required to conduct data reuse analyses through inter-hospital databases. While most terminology matching techniques performing semantic interoperability are language-based, another strategy is to use distribution matching that performs terms matching based on the statistical similarity. In this work, our objective is to design and assess a structured framework to perform distribution matching on concepts described by continuous variables. We propose a framework that combines distribution matching and machine learning techniques. Using a training sample consisting of correct and incorrect correspondences between different terminologies, a match probability score is built. For each term, best candidates are returned and sorted in decreasing order using the probability given by the model. Searching 101 terms from Lille University Hospital among the same list of concepts in MIMIC-III, the model returned the correct match in the top 5 candidates for 96 of them (95%). Using this open-source framework with a top-k suggestions system could make the expert validation of terminologies alignment easier.

OpenWHO provides open access, online, free and real time learning responses to health emergencies. Before the pandemic, courses on 18 diseases were provided. The increase to 38 courses in response to COVID-19 have led to a massive increase in the number of new learners. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic affected learners’ trends. This paper presents initial findings of changes perceived in the use and user groups’ attendance to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) health emergency learning platform OpenWHO. Enrolment statistics were based on data collected in December 2019 and March 2021. A descriptive analysis was conducted to explore changes in the usage pattern of the platform. Several user characteristics shifted between before and during the pandemic. More women, younger and older learners joined the learning during the pandemic. Public health education leaned toward a more equitable reach including previously underrepresented groups.

Depressive disorder, or depression, is one of the most common psychiatric diseases affecting millions worldwide. Anxiety disorders are also common. Most patients with anxiety refer to general practitioners with the signs of vegetative dysfunction. Anxiety per se occurs in 40% and is associated with depression (mixed anxiety-depressive disorder) IN 26%. Comorbidity of anxiety and depression is relatively high, and the extent of this comorbidity changes with aging. This paper reviews diagnostic and treatment modalities for anxiety and depression. Their diagnosis includes clinical examination and questionnaire. This paper describes Neuro Scanner, an application that includes four scales to diagnose anxiety and depression, i.e., the Veyn Scale, Spielberg Trait Anxiety scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Montgomery–Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). To date, a large amount of data illustrating a significant genetic, neurobiological, and symptomatic similarity of depression and anxiety has been accumulated. This phenomenon accounts for the efficacy of the same drugs (e.g., antidepressants, anxiolytics, neuroleptics, etc.).

Research has been carried out aimed at developing the theoretical bases of physical modelling of landing processes of parachute platforms on inflatable air shock absorbers. At the same time, the features of the application of physical modeling methods for solving this task are considered. The conditions, landing features and operation of parachute platform devices at landing on inflatable air shock absorbers are determined. It is shown that presently parachute-depreciation systems have become widespread, in which soft tissue shells are used, filled through the inlet openings with atmospheric or air injected from gas bottles air. The operation of these devices is based on the compression of air in the shell and expiration of him through exit holes (valves). At the same time, air inflatable shells absorb the kinetic energy of the impact, controlling the release of air through exit holes.It has been established that the most effective method for studying the behavior of a dropped vehicle is physical modelling, which uses a free-flying dynamically similar model (FDSM) or stand dynamically similar model (DSM) of a dropped object as an research object. Modeling of landing processes of parachute platforms on inflatable air shock absorbers is not related to the dynamics of the flight and air flow around surfaces. Therefore, for this task, the existing developments in physical modelling of dynamics flight cannot be applied, and for the theoretical substantiation of the dynamic similarity to modeling motion, it makes sense to use the laws of gas dynamics in regard to air shock absorbers.

Nodüler lenfosit predominant Hodgkin lenfoma (NLPHL) az görülen ve prognozu oldukça iyi olan bir hastalıktır. NLPHL tüm Hodgkin lenfomalı (HL) hastaların %5’ini oluşturmaktadır. Hastalıkla ilgili en önemli sorunlar hastalık nüksü, Hodgkin dışı lenfomaya transformasyon ve tedavi ilişkili yan etkilerdir. Erken evre hastalıkta tedavisiz izlem, cerrahi, tutulu alan radyoterapisi ve tek başına ritüksimab tercih edilirken, yüksek tümör yükü olan olgularda ve ileri evre hastalıkta kemoimmünoterapi kullanılır, radyoterapi eklenebilir. Hastalık nüksü sonrasında dahi tedavi yanıtları oldukça iyidir. Tedaviye yönelik verilerin tamamı retrospektif çalışmalardan gelmektedir. Çalışmamızda kliniğimizde Aralık 2011-Aralık 2020 tarihleri arasında NLPHL tanısı alan 10 hasta değerlendirildi. Hastaların medyan yaşı 36 (28-60) yıldı. NLPHL tanılı hastalar HL tanılı hastaların %2.08’ini oluşturmakta idi. Hastaların %80’ni (n=8) erkekti. Tanı anında hastalarımızın %70’ni (n=7) erken evre idi ve tüm hastaların ECOG (Doğu Kooperatif Onkoloji Grubu) performans skoru 0’dı. Hastalarımızın hepsinde başvuru şikayeti ele gelen lenfadenopatiydi. Tanı anındaki hemogram ve biyokimyasal parametreler normal referans aralığındaydı. Tüm hastalarımızın bakılan immünhistokimyasal boyamalarında CD20 pozitifliği mevcuttu ve yalnız 1 (%10) hastanın CD30 pozitifliği mevcuttu. Dokuz (%90) hastamıza ilk sıra tedavi olarak ABVD (doksorubisin, bleomisin, vinblastin, dakarbazin) kemoterapisi uygulandı. Bir (%10) hastamıza ise kombine modalite tedavisi (CMT) olan ABVD ile birlikte RT uygulandı. Bir hastamıza hastalık progresyonu nedeni ile diğer hastamıza ise geç nüks sebebi ile kurtarma tedavisi sonrası otolog kök hücre nakli yapıldı. Kliniğimizde tanı konulan NLPHL hastalarının Amerika ve Almanya gibi yabancı ülkelerde yayınlanan literatürlerde belirtilen insidans oranları ve verilen ilk basamak tedavi seçimi ile uyumsuz bir tablo oluşturmaktadır. Bu farklılığın Türkiye’den bildirilecek diğer verilerle karşılaştırılması ve tartışılması uygun olacaktır.
The Principles and Practice of Psychiatric Rehabilitation
Authors: Srinivasan Tirupati
Published: November 2021

People with severe mental disorders experience difficulty in functioning in several domains of life that are all not related to the illness and the symptoms. Medical management for severe mental disorders leads to improvement in symptoms and distress that may not always correlate with functional improvement. A comprehensive rehabilitative care is necessary to reengage the person in life activities and full participation in mainstream life. The Rehabilitation interventions are to be person centered with supports from the environment and removal of barriers to progress recovery. Rehabilitative care should be enhanced by integrated recovery-orientated practices that sustain hope, promote self-agency. This paper discusses the definition of psychiatric rehabilitation and a model of the processes involved.

Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND One third of Indians consume alcohol and there is an alarming annual increase in alcohol consumption. Majority of spouses of alcohol dependent males are also the primary care-takers of their husbands and are at risk of domestic violence. Marital dissatisfaction could reduce their involvement in getting their spouses treated for alcohol dependence. Our aim was to study the marital satisfaction among the spouses of patients with alcohol dependence. METHODOLOGY This study was conducted on spouses of male patients with alcohol dependence syndrome attending the psychiatry department of a tertiary care medical college hospital in Kanchipuram District in Tamilnadu. 200 consecutive male patients with alcohol dependence syndrome using the ICD 10 criteria were recruited. Severity of alcohol dependence was assessed using Short Alcohol Dependence Data (SADD). Marital satisfaction among the spouses was assessed using ENRICH Marital Satisfaction (EMS) Scale. Analysis of the data was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0. RESULTS The mean age of alcohol dependent men and their spouses were 43.05±9.39 and 37.58±8.86 years respectively. Most of the spouses (83.5%) had done their primary education only and 50% were house-wives (unemployed). Majority of men earned between Rs.5000 to 10,000 and most of them were unskilled workers belonging to the lower socio-economic group in the rural areas. The mean SADD and EMS scores were 25.05 ± 8.891 and 31.76 ± 14.45 respectively. 74% of men in our study population were highly dependent on alcohol. Amongst the spouses of men with severe dependence 68.9% reported moderate and 28.3% reported low marital satisfaction. DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION Majority of alcohol dependent men suffered from severe dependence. An inverse relationship between marital satisfaction scores and severity of alcohol dependence was observed. Alcohol dependence and its severity was noted to have an adverse impact on marital satisfaction among spouses of the dependent patients.

Published: November 2021

This study was conducted to estimate the concentration of selected heavy metals such as chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) as well as the possible risk to consumer health from the flesh of three wild and cultured fishes (Labeo rohita, Mystus cavasius, and Heteropneustes fossilis) collected from the Meghna river, Narayangonj and Rajoir fish farm, Madaripur district respectively. Heavy metal concentrations were determined using Atomic Absorption Spectrometric method. The average concentration of heavy metals were found in the wild fish samples in the range as Cr (0.295-1.647), Mn (0.900-1.294), Ni (0.063-0.198), Cu (0.179-0.529), Zn (5.487-8.343), Cd (0.004-0.009) and Pb (0.193-0.290) mg/kg dry weight while in the cultured fish samples in the range as Cr (0.043-0.315), Mn (0.975-2.36), Co (BDL), Ni (0.005-0.095), Cu (0.238-0.978), Zn (5.487-8.305), Cd (0.004-0.009), and Pb (0.238-0.286) mg/kg dry weight respectively. The hierarchy of mean concentration of heavy metals in wild fishes was Zn> Mn> Cu> Pb> Cr> Ni > Cd and in the cultured fishes, the order was found Zn> Mn> Cr> Pb> Cu> Ni > Cd. The present study showed that the wild fish accumulated higher concentration of heavy metals in their muscles than the cultured fish. The analyzed Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb were below the allowable level specified by international agencies (FAO, WHO, EU, CE, USEP). In order to assess the human health risk, the Target Hazard Quotient (THQ), Hazard Index (HI), and Target carcinogenic Risk (TR) were calculated. The TR values suggested that the fishes posed low to moderate carcinogenic risk from Cr, Ni and Cd. Consequently, continuous and excessive consumption of these fish species over a lifetime will increase the possibility of causing cancer.

Published: November 2021

Prevalence of some common human traits viz., body weight, height and body mass index (BMI), pattern baldness, body hair, chin, colour blindness, cheek dimples, earlobes, length of index finger, lips, nose, polydactyly, tongue and widow’s peak, and ABO blood groups along with their Rh-D antigen, were recorded and analyzed from 500 male and 1000 female students of the Rajshahi University (RU) Campus. Results showed that body weights of the male students (66.42±8.92 kg) were significantly higher (t= 35.14; P<0.001) than those of the female students (51.64±6.97 kg). The differences in BMI between males (23.32±3.26) and females (20.85±2.63), as expected, were also highly significant (t= 15.79; P<0.001) and notably, some of the female students were underweight (BMI< 18.5). No female had baldness compared to 15.8% bald males. Sparse body hair was prevalent over the dense body hair in both genders. The females had much higher smooth chin (89.6%) than the males (58.0%) but the males had much higher cleft chin (42.0%) compared to the females (10.4%). No female was colourblind whereas 7.4% males were colourblind. Absence of dimples was recorded in 92.4% males and 85.7% females. Attached earlobes were higher than the free earlobes in both sexes. Compared to the length of the ring finger, shorter index finger was prevalent both in males (85.4%) and females (68.6%). Frequencies of the broad lips in males and females were 53.4% and 58.6%, respectively. Females dominated large and broad noses (76.1%) in comparison with their male counterparts (61.4%). Polydactyly was a rare trait in the Campus, where only 2.2% males and 0.2% females had extra digits in their hands or feet. Tongue rollers (53.8%) outnumbered the tongue folders in males, but tongue folders (54.4%) outnumbered the tongue rollers in females. Males with widow’s peak were higher (25.8%) than that in the females (19.0). Blood groups in the males and females were in the order: B (32.0) > O (29.8) > A (22.4) > AB (15.8) and O (34.8) > B (34.4) > A (21.9) > AB (8.9), respectively. As a whole, 85.4% males and 98.0% females were Rh-positive where the blood group phenotypes did not affect body weight, height and BMI of the subjects (r=0.012; P=0.63). The relevance of these findings to the physical, physiological, social and clinical well-being of the humans has been discussed.

The study was conducted on species availability and infrastructure analysis of four different wholesale fish markets in Dhaka City. Two markets were selected from Dhaka South City Corporation, Showari Ghat and Jatrabari fish market, and two from Dhaka North City Corporation, Karwan Bazar and Abdullahpur fish market. The investigation was carried out from November 2018 to October 2019. Questionnaire based survey, FGDs (Focus Group Discussion) and KIIs (Key Informant Interviews) were conducted to get quantitative and qualitative data for present study. A total number of 62 fishes and 6 crustacean species were recorded during the study period. Among all species, 39 freshwater, 10 marine and 13 exotic fishes were recorded. Infrastructure facilities were very poor for all four markets in the matter of hygiene and quality control. Fish shades were not enough, improper sanitation and drainage system indicates the possibilities of disease transmission and deteriorate fish quality. Electricity and water supplies were good but no system was present to determine the distillation of those supplied water. Thus, infrastructural condition of the markets does not support a hygienic condition for fish marketing to provide quality fish and fish byproducts. The study highlighted the need for national initiatives, awareness building, and law implementation for improving the wholesale markets infrastructure to a minimum standard so that fish trade could provide good quality to the people of Dhaka City

Piguvianism vs. Coasianism: Who Wins?
Authors: Shastitko Andrey E.
Published: November 2021

The main characteristics of approaches to the discussion of the sufficiency of grounds for the introduction / cancellation of state regulation due to the identification of failures in the price mechanism are revealed. The comparison of approaches is presented on the basis of the problem of externalities. In this regard, the provisions from the theory of externalities have been clarified in terms of their definition and correlation with the conditions for optimal allocation of resources, and certain types of external effects are presented. The key types of correction of price mechanism failures are considered, including regulatory intervention, setting up the price mechanism (including the creation of missing markets), maintaining the status quo with externalities. On this basis, the main properties of the Pigouvian and Coasian approaches in economics are determined in relation to the problems of this form of market failure. The features of Coasianism as a functionalist approach to research in contrast to fundamental liberalism are revealed. Taking into account the importance of values, the opportunities for designing of compensatory transactions and the supply and demand of economic knowledge, assessments of the prospects of functionalism and fundamentalisms are presented as a guide to action in the field of discussion and political decision-making. The comparative advantages of functionalism and fundamentalisms in the intellectual traditions of discussing the role of the state in the economy are shown.
On the Influence of Metamodernity on Institutional Economic Theory
Authors: Sazanova Svetlana L.
Published: November 2021

The article analyses the influence of the philosophy of metamodernism on the institutional economic theory. The author considered the philosophy of metamodernism as a complex of ideas that form the “spirit of the times” – ​the “era of metamodernity”, which is an external environment in relation to institutional economic theory. Having analyzed the key characteristics of modernity and postmodernity, the author proved that metamodernity is not only a synthesis of the philosophical ideas of modernity and postmodernity, but also a new worldview that embraces the entire socio-economic reality. The author formulated the features of the era of metamodernity in the context of economics-society-institutions. The author found that under the influence of the ideas of metamodernity, there have been changes in the motivation of economic agents: from the satisfaction of subjective preferences to the search for new emotional reactions. This, in turn, led to changes in collective (social) economic behavior: rejection of traditional values in favor of values of self-expression, rejection of long-term relationships in favor of long-term ones. According to the author, changes in individual and collective economic behavior occur in parallel with institutional changes at the micro, meso and macro levels: hierarchical institutional structures are being replaced by socio-economic and business ecosystems. Exploring the evolution of economic science in the context of evolution from modern philosophy to postmodern and metamodern philosophy, the author revealed the influence of the ideas of metamodernity on modern economic theory in general and institutional economic theory in particular. The author found that under the influence of the ideas of metamodernity, changes occur in the object and subject of economic research, which requires the improvement of the methodology of institutional economic theory based on an interdisciplinary approach.
Institutional Traps for the Development of a Corporation's Creative Potential
Authors: Brizhak Olga V.
Published: November 2021

The process of free formation and development of the creative potential of corporations in the context of the expansion of the digital economy is associated with the emergence of specific obstacles, which in economic theory are called development traps. Verifying this position, the article analyzes the institutional pitfalls of the development of creative potential caused by modern transformations. The concept of the institutional trap, first formulated in the works of P. David and D. North, and further developed in the works of A. Auzan, E. Balatsky, G. Kleiner, V. Polterovich seems to have been known and developed for a long time, but this is the trap of the trap itself. Despite all the banality and familiarity of the category of institutional trap in the Russian economy associated with the establishment of an inefficient norm, in recent years it has again attracted the attention of participants in various areas of scientific research, since it has significant hidden opportunities in the study of the formation and development of the creative potential of the corporation in the era of modern transformations. The creative potential, represented as a powerful creative force, endowed with special intellectual capital and competencies, is actively involved in accelerating transformations, the results of which are not always predictable, expected, accompanied by certain obligations and very unpredictable inertial results. Effective implementation of the creative potential of the corporation and its intellectual core involves expanding the opportunities for free generation of the creative potential of the corporation and overcoming specific obstacles to this formation associated with the processes of large-scale economic transformations, network development, corporate standardization and nationalization. We present the creative potential of the corporation as a kind of intellectual core, consisting of professional intellectuals who are able to generate new business development ideas and offer capital combinations of resources that do not fit into the standards, claiming to be the main ones. Through the prism of the pitfalls of developing the creative potential of the corporation, the author examines the main problems and contradictions of the transformations taking place in the Russian economy at the present stage. The research was conducted using the resources of the system economy, creative economy, knowledge economy, institutional economy, dialectics method, comparative analysis method, and empirical method.
Self-Determination Theory: Statistical Correlations Between Motivational Regulations and Basic Psychological Needs

Self-determination theory has been predominantly used as a psychological framework to describe human motivation. It classifies three types of motivation with various forms of regulations, ranging from amotivation, extrinsic motivation (i.e., extrinsic regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, and integrated regulation), to intrinsic motivation. In addition, it points out three basic psychological needs (i.e., autonomy, relatedness, competence) which are essential components to enhance the process of internalisation, meaning motivations driven by identified, integrated and intrinsic regulations. This study aims to provide statistical evidence of statistical correlations among these factors and regulations. To achieve this, an online questionnaire with 9 close-ended statements based on 5-Likert scale was distributed to high-school students and school leavers in Thailand. A total of 206 responses were received. Overall, a correlational analysis showed a positive correlation between internalisation and the basic psychological needs (r = 0.4). Furthermore, there was a moderate positive correlation between integrated correlation and intrinsic motivation (r = 0.6) which support the described theoretical framework. In addition, there was a moderate positive correlation between autonomy and competence (r = 0.6) in the perspective of psychological needs. However, the statistical evidence shows a moderate relationship between identified regulation and external regulation (r = 0.6) which adds an insightful finding to our current understanding. It is suggested that in order to increase the level of internalisation, it is essential to provide a learning environment where students can feel the sense of success (competence), constructive relationship with others (relatedness), and a fair degree of self-regulated learning (autonomy).

Com o avanço tecnológico no mundo todo ao longo dos anos, o uso de novas tecnologias que contribuíssem positivamente na qualidade de vida continua sendo alvo de muito investimento e estudos. A nanotecnologia ganha destaque neste contexto, pois, seu uso na busca pela melhoria na saúde vem trazendo bons resultados e seu emprego em fármacos traz grandes contribuições como a proteção ao organismo da degradação do fármaco, aumento da solubilidade e biodisponibilidade, diminuição de efeitos tóxicos e possíveis reações adversas e um maior controle e especificação na liberação dos fármacos. O Brasil é o país que possuí a maior e melhor infraestrutura da América Latina relacionados aos estudos da nanotecnologia com aplicação na área da saúde, porém no que se diz respeito sobre a produção o país se encontra em um nível intermediário. A pesquisa desenvolvida tem como principal objetivo descrever a situação do uso da nanotecnologia em fármacos no Brasil nos últimos 10 anos, as vantagens e desvantagens citadas entre a literatura cientifica e a importância e contribuição de mecanismos como esse para fins de diagnóstico e tratamento de doenças. Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura, sendo analisados estudos que abordassem a temática. Após toda a pesquisa e coleta de dados observou-se que a nanotecnologia e sua utilização em fármacos trazem muitos benefícios e auxiliam no tratamento de diversas doenças, porém seu efeito toxico ainda é muito pouco difundido pela falta de testes em fase clínica e pré-clínica e o Brasil possuí estrutura e investimento, mas falta incentivo e profissionais capacitados para realização de mais estudos e consequentes produções.

A prática regular de atividade física promove à saúde e atua na prevenção de várias doenças crônicas. A obesidade é um fator de risco para doenças cardiovasculares, hipertensão, diabetes e até mesmo câncer. A utilização do exercício aeróbio em jejum pode ser uma das alternativas utilizadas no processo de emagrecimento, porém é necessário analisar seus riscos a curto e longo prazo. O objetivo deste trabalho é correlacionar os benefícios e malefícios do exercício aeróbio em jejum sobre a redução de peso. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa de literatura. As revisões narrativas são amplas, apropriadas para descrever e discutir o desenvolvimento ou o “estado da arte” de um determinado assunto sob o ponto de vista teórico ou conceitual. Foram realizadas buscas de artigos científicos publicados no período de 2001 a 2020 nas bases de dados LILACC (via Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde), MEDLINE (via PubMed), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e Google Acadêmico. Foram selecionados artigos em língua portuguesa. Foi excluída a literatura cinzenta: monografias, dissertações e teses. A busca resultou em 388 artigos, foram selecionados dez pelos pesquisadores para o desenvolvimento desta revisão. Os benefícios encontrados forma aumento da oxidação de lipídeos e diminuição da oxidação de carboidratos em diferentes períodos de jejum. Porém pode-se enumerar como malefícios: a diminuição da disponibilidade de carboidratos limitando a oxidação de ácidos graxos; a alteração da composição corporal obtida relacionada à redução da massa magra, as variações de peso observadas relacionadas à perda de água principalmente acompanhada da diminuição do desempenho. A perda de massa livre de gordura pode estar relacionada ao catabolismo de proteínas. Além de a prática da atividade física em jejum em iniciantes pode ocasionar hipoglicemia.

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as situações causadas pela pandemia pela COVID-19 que agravaram o estresse emocional nas gestantes e como a equipe de Enfermagem prestará assistência diante as mesmas. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, através da pergunta norteadora: “Como a equipe de Enfermagem desenvolve as ações de cuidado para tentar diminuir o estresse emocional nas gestantes no decurso do ciclo gravídico durante a pandemia?”, elaborada a partir do método PICO, em três bases de dados com os descritores gestantes, saúde mental, enfermagem obstétrica e adaptação. Foram incluídos dezesseis artigos, doze sendo nacionais, quatro em inglês e zero em espanhol, com anos de publicação de 2018 a 2021. A Enfermagem desenvolverá a assistência por meio da telenfermagem, compactando o pré-natal nas consultas virtuais e as visitando apenas quando necessário e trajando a paramentação obrigatória, prevendo a segurança da gestante e o menor tempo de contato físico possível à fim de evitar a possibilidade de transmissão da COVID-19. Os profissionais poderão utilizar a Fear Scale for the Perinatal Period para avaliar o medo das gestantes referente ao COVID-19 para que possam, de forma precisa, orientar, acolher e encaminhar a mulher no com o estresse emocional agravado período gravídico. Portanto, as gestantes podem se tranquilizar diante de seus medos, pois a equipe de Enfermagem se faz presente e preparada para lidar com as divergências em conjunto com as mesmas.
