Authors: Shibaev S. , Kozmin B. , Makarov A.
Published: December 2021

The results of monitoring the seismicity of the territory of Yakutia, based on observations
of 23 digital seismic stations, are presented. A total of 607 earthquakes were recorded. A map of epicentres was compiled and their location was given in seismically active regions. The most active areas are Olekminsk in the south, Verkhoyansk and Chersky Ridge in the northeast and the Arctic part of the region. A significant decrease (19 times) in the amount of released seismic energy continued in comparison to its level in 2014. Instrumental and macroseismic data, focal mechanisms and seismotectonic connections are analyzed. The characteristics of the shaking South-Verkhoyansk earthquake occurring at the junction of the Verkhoyansk and Sette-Daban Ridges are considered.
SOURCE PARAMETERS of CRIMEAN-BLACK SEA EARTHQUAKES in 2015
Authors: Pustovitenko B. , Eredzhepov E.
Published: December 2021

The spectral and dynamic source parameters (М0, r0, , , ησ, , u, Eu and Mw) of 16 Crimean earthquakes with КП=6.5–10.8, restored by amplitude spectra of compression and shear seismic waves recorded by digital regional seismic stations are analyzed. Approximation of the spectra and source parameters calculation is performed in the framework of the Brune dislocation model. The highest values of dynamic parameters (М0, r0, , , ησ, u, EU и Mw) are obtained for the earthquakes on June 13 and August 16 with h=11 km, h=7 km respectively and КП=10.8, which occurred in the Azov-Kuban and Kerch-Anapa areas. The radiation friction r for all earthquakes had a negative value, pointing to a complex slide of the rupture in the source. Within the whole energy range, the average value of the released stress did not exceed Δσ=8∙105 PA (8 bar) and apparent stress ησ <11∙105 PA (11 bar). For most 2015 earthquakes, the average M0 и r0 values were within the confidence intervals of long-term dependencies M0(КП), r0(КП). The values of r0 were evenly distributed concerning the regression r0(КП) and М0 is mostly located below the average according to М0 (КП). The maximum deviations of M0 from the long-term М0(КП) dependence were obtained for the most strong earthquakes on June 13 and August 16 with КП=10.8. These deviations can be associated with participation in average M0 of the "Sevastopol" station data which give low values of М0 and possible errors in determining the focal depths influencing the choice of environment velocity models to calculate М0. For the most strong earthquake of August 16 with Мw=3.8, which occurred in the Kerch-Anapa region, a solution of focal mechanism was obtained. The earthquake occurred under the action of horizontal latitudinal tensile forces. The type of movement in the source is an oblique normal fault. Both nodal planes have near-meridional (STKNP1=167°) and near-diagonal (STKNP2=336°) strike.
STRONG EARTHQUAKES in the NORTH of the LAKE BAIKAL REGION (Mw=4.6–4.7) in 2015
Authors: Radziminovich Ya. , Melnikova V. , Gileva N. , Filippova A.
Published: December 2021

The paper considers three relatively strong earthquakes that occurred in 2015 in the northern Lake Baikal region: July 7 Upper Akuli earthquake (Mw=4.6) with the epicenter at the headwaters of the Akuli River, and September 25 Gulonga-I (Mw=4.7) and December 13 Gulonga-II earthquakes (Mw=4.6) with the epicenters near the mountain lakes Gulonga. Instrumental and macroseismic data on these seismic events are reported. A seismic moment tensor, calculated from surface wave records, shows normal fault focal mechanisms for Upper Akuli and Gulonga-II earthquakes and strike-slip movements in the source of the Gulonga-I seismic event. The results obtained could be used in further studies of seismic zoning and seismic hazard assessment in the northern Lake Baikal region.

Published: December 2021

Driving behaviour has been studied by numerous researchers for the past few years. It includes the instantaneous driving behaviour observations and the drivers speed which are said to be influenced by many factors, such as the demographic measure of the drivers, environmental, passenger effect, and road characteristics. This paper describes the recent analysis and classification of driver behaviour in actual driving scenarios among the bus drivers in Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) Main Campus, Kota Kinabalu. This research focussed on determining the riderships of bus in UMS campus, to investigate the differences of instantaneous driving behaviours of bus drivers during the acceleration phase when leaving bus stops, and to poduce the classification of the bus driving behaviour in UMS based on the driver’s accelerations. In order to achieve the objective of this study, observations were made for determining the riderships and the differences in instantaneous bus driving behaviour several times for each bus stops. For drivers speed and accelerations, a mobile applications called Speedometer GPS was used to obtain the data. Interview was conducted to a total number of 10 respondents to obtain their demographic measure. The results obtained shows the ridership of UMS bus is the highest in the afternoon peak. The instantaneous driving behaviour produce the head movement as the highest percentage during peak hour, and inattentive behaviour as the highest during the off peak hour. The bus drivers in UMS were classified as Aggressive and Calm Behaviour Category.
INTEGRATION OF SUBSURFACE IRRIGATION AND ORGANIC MULCHING WITH DEFICIT IRRIGATION TO INCREASE WATER USE EFFICIENCY OF DRIP IRRIGATION
Authors: Moataz Elnemr
Published: December 2021

This study aimed to integrate the ability of organic mulching (rice straw) and subsurface irrigation with deficit irrigation to save soil moisture content (SMC) and increase water use efficiency (WUE). A field experiment was carried out during 2019 on tomato crop in sandy soil. The variables included four levels of irrigation namely 70, 80, 90, and 100% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc) with three irrigation techniques which were subsurface drip irrigation (SSD), mulched surface drip irrigation (MD), and mulched subsurface drip irrigation (MSSD). The treatments of MSSD showed earlier maturity of tomato crop and longer picking period if compared to MD and SSD treatments. MSSD showed higher ability to save (SMC) than other irrigation techniques. Reduction of applied water from 100 to 70% ETc led to a decrease in tomato yield by 23.32% at MSSD compared to 28.47%, and 26.23% for MD, and SSD respectively. The highest WUE was at MSSD70 with 5.92 kg/m3 while the least was 4.21 kg/m3 with SSD100. The highest benefit/cost ratio was 9.03 with the treatment SSD70 while the highest profit of water unit was 2.19 US$/m3 with MSSD70. MSSD can be used with 90% of ETc without any significant difference in tomato crop while it can be used with 70% ETc to obtain higher WUE. The study recommended integrating rice straw mulching and subsurface drip irrigation with deficit irrigation as a strategy to save irrigation water and obtain the maximum possible benefits of water unit whether related to tomato yield or its revenue.

Authors: Dorokhov Alexey , Sibirev A.V. , Aksenov Alexandr , Sazonov Nikolay
Published: December 2021

It was found that the extraction of a tuberous heap, namely potatoes, with a digging working body with a movable frame, has the most significant drawback, which is that when the depth of the burrowing share tip is changed, the angle of its inclination changes, which negatively affects the chipping of the soil layer and leads to the deterioration of the transportation of the excavated soil layer to the separating working bodies, for which it is necessary to determine and clarify the main technological and design parameters of the developed intake plough share for digging / picking up root crops and bulbs due to the fact that potato tubers and onion bulbs have different size and mass and physical and mechanical properties. A method has been developed for determining the amount of supply of a heap of onion sets from the surface of the digging share to the separating working bodies, the required soil moisture necessary for research. The methodology and results of experimental studies to determine the decrease in the content of soil impurities in the gathering heap of onions are presented, the main statistical characteristics of the experiment are reflected. Based on the results of the screening experiment, significant factors have been established that have a decisive effect on the selected optimization criterion: spring preload, determined by the spring length and the forward speed of the digging share. It was found that the minimum possible amount of soil impurities when extracting onions from the soil is 24.8%. It depends on the values of the investigated factors, values that should be set in the interval: the length of the spring L_PPR=0.02-0.04 m and the speed of the moving share v_L=1.2-1.4 m/s.

Impact of graphene-molecular interaction on collective orientation barrier for organic film growth
Authors: Nagai Sae , Inaba Yuta , Nishi Toshio , Tomiya Shigetaka
Published: December 2021

The temperature-dependent molecular orientation variation of pentacene (PEN) on a graphene-covered substrate (PEN/Gr) was investigated via p-polarized multiple-angle incidence resolution spectrometry (pMAIRS). The temperature regime of the orientation transition of PEN/Gr was different from that of PEN/SiO2. The collective orientation barrier (COB), an energy barrier that molecules need to overcome to form a standing orientation, was estimated via pMAIRS. Consequently, the COB of PEN/Gr was found to be 10 times larger than that of PEN/SiO2. This indicated that the COB is valuable for understanding the effect of substrate interaction on molecular orientation.

The two-dimensional electron gas formed at interfaces between SrTiO3 and other materials has attracted much attention since extremely efficient spin-to-charge current conversion has been recently observed at these interfaces. This has been attributed to their complicated quantized multi-orbital structures with a topological feature. However, there are few reports quantitatively comparing the conversion efficiency values between experiments and theoretical calculations at these interfaces. In this study, we theoretically explain the experimental temperature dependence of the spin-to-charge current conversion efficiency using an 8 × 8 effective tight-binding model considering the second d

Investigation of proper material selection for rainwater harvesting in squares having higher urban heat island effect potential: KBU Social Life Center example
Authors: TEMİZKAN Sibel , TUNA KAYILI Merve
Published: December 2021

With the revolution in industrialization, the gas amount emitted into the atmosphere grew, causing global warming and climate change. This developing shift has a detrimental impact on natural resources and hastens their decline. Water is one of the natural resources that has been impacted. Water scarcity is becoming a problem due to causes known to be urbanization, population increase and climate change. With regards to sustainable architecture, rainwater collection from buildings for its efficient use, application of simple water treatment processes and its reuse are considered to be among the precautions that may be taken in order to save water. In addition to playing a role in reducing water resources, urbanization has another detrimental characteristic, such as creating heat islands with highly impermeable surfaces. Top cover designs that promote green spaces and minimize heat island impacts are the most effective way for minimizing the detrimental effects that heat islands have on outdoor thermal comfort in urban settings. Therefore, a top cover was proposed in this study for mitigating the effect of heat island observed in KBU Social Life Center square that may be characterized as a vast heat island within the campus, as well as to bring it in feature of collecting rainwater in its immense area. Materials to be used in the proposed top cover as well as the factors affecting the selection of material were determined in terms of efficiency in rainwater collection and the mitigation of urban heat island effect. A considerably optimum material that can be used in the cover was determined by one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods known to be PROMETHEE method. As a consequence of its pricing, roof efficiency, and albedo coefficient qualities, the polycarbonate panel material has been chosen as the most acceptable material to be used for the suggested top cover.
Critical raw materials as a part of sustainable development
Authors: Cehlár Michal , Šimková Zuzana
Published: December 2021

The presented article deals with the issue of critical raw materials in the European Union with an emphasis on sustainable development and also barite, as an only one critical raw material mined in Slovakia. The article points out in detail the deposits of individual critical raw materials within the European Union. They clearly profile the European area´s dependence on imports of critical raw materials in accordance with the Communication from the Commission to the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on the European Union's list of critical raw materials. Based on a defined Herfindahl-Hirschman index, which is clearly methodologically described, the article also points to the exploitation of critical raw materials in the European Union, what is in consideration of sustainable development crucial because some inventions are fundamentally dependent on them, as is their production on world markets. This article deals with critical raw materials in the EU, because it is in this area that we would like to experience the 4th industrial revolution, which is characterized by "new products" with a short life cycle, products with the least possible impact on the environment, i.e. innovations that are often impossible without important raw materials. Is it at all possible to talk about sustainable development with such raw material sources in European Union?
New explicit algorithm based on the asymmetric hopscotch structure to solve the heat conduction equation
Authors: Omle Issa
Published: December 2021

In this paper we will consider a new four-stage structure inspired by the well-known odd-even hopscotch method to construct new schemes for the numerical solution of the two-dimensional heat or diffusion equation. In this structure the first and the last time step are halved stage and therefore the time steps are shifted compared to each other for odd and even cells. We insert 10 concrete formulas into this structure to obtain 104 different combinations. First we test all of these in case of small systems with random parameters, and then examine the competitiveness of the best algorithms by testing them in case of large systems against popular solvers. We select the top 5 combinations, and demonstrate that these new methods are indeed effective if the goal is to produce results with acceptable accuracy in very short time.

Comparison of particle size and shape distribution of corundum produced by industrial ball mill and material bed compression
Authors: Tamás László , Rácz Ádám
Published: December 2021

Comminution of corundum is a challenging task, as it has very high hardness and compression strength, and it is also a very abrasive material. Selection of the best comminution process for each particle size thus has a great importance. But for this, first we must understand the effects of different type of stresses and comminution methods used for the dry comminution of corundum. In this article the comparison of particle size and shape distribution of corundum produced by material bed compression and classic ball mill grinding is carried out. Comminution experiments were carried out in a laboratory scale piston press, to achieve material bed compression like in HPGR technology, and in a conventional industrial scale ball mill for particle-particle, particle-grinding media interaction. The results showed that the products of the two comminution methods have a significant difference both in particle size and shape distribution.

This study aims to determine the effect of body weight training combined with a low carbohydrate diet and running combined with a low carbohydrate diet on reducing body fat percentage in overweight and obese young man. The research used pretest posttest group design experimental method. The sample consisted of 30 young man divided into two groups that had been strictly selected. Their body fat percentage was measured before and after the research program. The result was analyzed through paired sample t-test at a significance level of α 0.05 and the average difference test (independent sample t-test posttest) to get a better result. This study shows that body weight training combined with a low carbohydrate diet and running combined with a low carbohydrate diet have a significant effect on decreasing body fat percentage, but running combined with a low carbohydrate diet is better at reducing body fat percentage compared with body weight training combined with a low carbohydrate diet. Overweight and obese young man can apply body weight training combined with a low carbohydrate diet or run combined with a low carbohydrate diet to reduce body fat percentage, but to get the results of a reduction in body fat percentage running and low carbohydrate diets is more recommended.

Published: December 2021

This text explores the question of the possible limits of transhumanism. However, unlike others, it does not focus on moral or ethical limitations, nor on technological or biological limitations. It deals, in particular, with its ontological and anthropological boundaries. The reflection that develops warns about the personal tenor of the subject and his dignity, involved in transhumanism. This note of the subject is unalterable and remains in the midst of the possible changes or transformations that transhumanism poses.
Whistleblowers or Offenders? A Judicial Approach to Whistleblowing – The LuxLeaks Case
Authors: Ouriemmi Oussama , Ben Khaled Wafa , Fanchini Mahaut
Published: December 2021

The aim of this article is to study the role of judges and their impact on the retaliation processes initiated by organisations against whistleblowers. More specifically, we question the normative logics used by judges to validate or invalidate such processes. To this end, we cross-check and analyse judicial data from the LuxLeaks case (2010–2018). Our results firstly enable us to establish a relationship between, on the one hand, the interpretative power of judges and their profile and, on the other, the attitude that judges may have at the end of the retaliation process towards whistleblowers, that is, retaliatory actors or protective actors. Our results also explain the normative dynamics that permeate the judicial retaliation process. They show that judges can challenge existing legal norms, clarify and operationalise others, and create new norms regulating ethical behaviour in organisations.
Haematuria readmission rates in DOAC patients undergoing TURP/TURBTs and urinary tract biopsies – is there any need for a bridging plan?
Authors: Kanwar Tavishi , Li Alice
Published: December 2021

Aim - The purpose of our quality improvement project was to reduce readmission rates for haematuria in patients on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) who had undergone a urinary tract biopsy or resection.
Methods - For each cycle we used operating lists, pre-assessment clerking and departmental inpatient lists to identify the proportion of patients on DOACs readmitted post-operatively within 1 month from date of surgery. Cycle 1 was completed over a six-month period. We then discussed these results with a Haematologist, who advised a bridging plan with low-molecular weight heparin to mitigate the risk. Following implementation of the bridging plan, we then completed the second cycle over a three-month period.
Results - The first cycle showed that 37.5% (n=16) of all patients on DOACs who had undergone one of these procedures were readmitted with significant haematuria. After implementation of the bridging plan with Low molecular weight heparin, the second cycle showed a reduced readmission rate of 33.3% (n=9), despite a higher percentage of patients on a DOAC in this cycle.
Discussion - There was no uniform practice or protocol for restarting DOACs in our hospital. After completion of this project, a uniform protocol has been established.
Recommendations included: (1) rediscuss with a Haematologist whether further measures were needed; present our data at a regional meeting to survey protocol and practices in neighbouring hospitals. Limitations included: a small sample size; non-uniform duration of data collection per cycle; reduction of elective operative lists due to COVID-19.
Phytool, a ShinyApp to homogenise taxonomy of freshwater microalgae from DNA barcodes and microscopic observations

Methods for biomonitoring of freshwater phytoplankton are evolving rapidly with eDNA-based methods, offering great complementarity with microscopy. Metabarcoding approaches have been more commonly used over the last years, with a continuous increase in the amount of data generated. Depending on the researchers and the way they assigned barcodes to species (bioinformatic pipelines and molecular reference databases), the taxonomic assignment obtained for HTS DNA reads might vary. This is also true for traditional taxonomic studies by microscopy with regular adjustments of the classification and taxonomy.

For those reasons (leading to non-homogeneous taxonomies), gap-analyses and comparisons between studies become even more challenging and the curation processes to find potential consensus names are time-consuming. Here, we present a web-based application (Phytool), developed with ShinyApp (Rstudio), that aims to make the harmonisation of taxonomy easier and in a more efficient way, using a complete and up-to-date taxonomy reference database for freshwater microalgae. Phytool allows users to homogenise and update freshwater phytoplankton taxonomical names from sequence files and data tables directly uploaded in the application. It also gathers barcodes from curated references in a user-friendly way in which it is possible to search for specific organisms. All the data provided are downloadable with the possibility to apply filters in order to select only the required taxa and fields (e.g. specific taxonomic ranks). The main goal is to make accessible to a broad range of users the connection between microscopy and molecular biology and taxonomy through different ready-to-use functions. This study estimates that only 25% of species of freshwater phytoplankton in Phytobs are associated with a barcode. We plead for an increased effort to enrich reference databases by coupling taxonomy and molecular methods. Phytool should make this crucial work more efficient.

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

To investigate the multimodal imaging features and the clinical associations of arteriolosclerotic plaques in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO).

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This was a retrospective case series of patients with RVO. Demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded at the time of RVO for each participant. Best-corrected visual acuity and central macular thickness were collected at baseline and observed for 1 year. Arteriolosclerotic plaques were identified on multimodal imaging, and their imaging features were summarized. Differences in demographic and clinical characteristics between eyes with arteriolosclerotic plaques and those with no arteriolosclerotic plaques were reported.

RESULTS:

Seventy-five eyes of 75 patients (39 males; mean age, 72.5 years) were included. Arteriolosclerotic plaques were identified in nine eyes (12%) as segmental, yellow, ill-defined creamy lesions in the arterioles' walls. Baseline macular edema was worse in eyes with arteriolosclerotic plaques than in eyes with no plaques (716.5 μm vs 539.7 μm). Arteriolosclerotic plaques did not interfere with blood flow and regressed in three eyes (33%). Eyes with plaques had worse best-corrected visual acuity (
P
< .001) and lower central macular thickness (
P
= .02) at 12 months than did eyes with RVO and no plaques.

CONCLUSIONS:

Arteriolosclerotic plaques suggest an ischemic or inflammatory involvement of the arteriolar branches in eyes with RVO and are associated with severe macular damage.

Raça como algoritmo:
Authors: Amrute Sareeta
Published: December 2021

Conectando o trabalho de software corporativo nos Estados Unidos e na Alemanha, este artigo analisa a racialização de engenheiros de software indianos majoritariamente masculinos por meio do trabalho temporário. Ao fazê-lo, mostro as conexões entre a violência anti-imigrante de hoje e o uso contínuo da raça para sedimentar as divisões do trabalho na indústria como um todo. Para explicar a racialização na indústria tecnológica, desenvolvo um conceito de raça como algoritmo enquanto um dispositivo para demonstrar e explicar como a raça se torna produtiva dentro das economias digitais, a fim de mostrar a flexibilidade da raça enquanto algo que funciona para criar ordens de classificação sensíveis ao contexto. Usando evidências coletadas através da observação em escritórios de tecnologia e por meio de entrevistas com programadores ao longo de cinco anos, percebi que a raça é uma variável essencial, mas continuamente repudiada dentro da construção de economias tecnológicas globais. A investigação se volta para racializações históricas do trabalho temporário e informal nas economias de plantation para iluminar como a informalidade marca trabalhadores cujos direitos podem ser silenciados e permite que as corporações neguem sua culpa em promover a discriminação dentro e fora da indústria da tecnologia, dentro de um campo político que divide “bons” e “maus” migrantes. A partir de evidências etnográficas que os trabalhadores de tecnologia indianos identificam em seus ambientes, este trabalho lê esses sinais como um antídoto para essas negações contínuas.

O imperativo da transparência como norma legitimadora da vigilância digital no capitalismo de dados a partir do filme O Círculo
Authors: Camargo Camila Acosta , Silva Gabriel de Melo Amancio da , Figaro Roseli
Published: December 2021

Abordamos a vigilância digital imposta com o avanço dos sistemas de coleta e armazenamento de dados, particularmente vinculados às big techs e a forma como empregam a dataficação como a lógica de acumulação de capital por excelência. Para ilustrar a discussão partimos de uma análise crítica do filme O Círculo (2017). Partimos do pressuposto de que a narrativa elege a disseminação do imperativo da transparência como norma legitimadora da nova forma de acumulação no capitalismo de dados, que se converte no discurso do bem-comum em uma sociedade individual harmoniosa, no qual o próprio trabalhador, ao interiorizar estes sentidos, torna-se reprodutor e propagador dos ideais dominantes do sistema.
Palavras-chave: Capitalismo de dados. Transparência. Ideologia.
Student Voices on the Use of International Telecollaboration and Sustainability During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Parsons Martin , Garant Mikel
Published: December 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown up many challenges to international cooperation, to the promotion of sustainable development, and indeed, to education. This chapter describes a telecollaborative project between university students in Japan and China. The students planned, wrote, recorded, and produced video podcasts on the theme of sustainable development, which were then exchanged via a password-protected, online, collaborative platform. On completion of the project, students wrote reflective essays, which are used here to gain insights into their impressions of topics such as sustainable development and telecollaboration. Results indicate that students improved their understanding of sustainability in addition to developing video editing and podcasting production skills. They also improved their pronunciation as well as other English skills. Overall, they were proud of their podcasts and enjoyed collaborating online with students from another country.

Introdução: As crianças com síndrome de Down (SD) podem apresentar maior incidência de neofobia e de seletividade alimentar, sobrepeso e obesidade. A alimentação saudável e equilibrada é de suma importância para o crescimento adequado dessas crianças. Objetivo: Avaliar a adequação dos componentes da dieta e o estado nutricional de crianças e adolescentes com síndrome de Down em seguimento no ambulatório de pediatria genética do Hospital das Clínicas de Botucatu. Método: Estudo clínico descritivo transversal, com coleta de dados clínicos e avaliação nutricional, realizadopor meio de dados antropométricos e recordatório alimentar para avaliação da dieta. Análise estatística dos testes de Qui-quadrado e de Tukey. Resultados: Foram incluídos 35 crianças e dois adolescentes. Os diagnósticos nutricionais foram 2,7% de magreza, 81,1% de eutrofia, 8,1% de obesidade e 8,1% em risco ou sobrepeso. Houve excesso de ingestão de lipídeos naqueles com sobrepeso e obesidade, e a dieta deficiente em fibras foi prevalente a partir do primeiro ano de vida, bem como excesso de calorias e adequação de ferro e zinco. Entre os dois adolescentes, predominou a dieta com déficits em macro e micronutrientes, exceto em vitamina C e colesterol. Conclusões: A dieta com excesso de calorias, carboidratos e lipídios, como tambémcom déficit de fibras, aponta uma alimentação pouco balanceada entre crianças e adolescentes com SD, principalmente após o primeiro ano de vida, apesar do seu adequado estado nutricional.

A maioria das pessoas infectadas com o vírus SARS-CoV-2, agente causal da doença infecciosa denominada coronavírus (COVID-19), desenvolve doença respiratória leve a moderada e se recuperam sem a necessidade de um tratamento hospitalar. No entanto, uma em cada seis pessoas infectadas ficam gravemente doente(1). Com um vírus de alta transmissibilidade e letalidade, a pandemia de COVID-19 tornou-se um problema de saúde global que colocou, em um curto período de tempo, cientistas de vários países do mundo a pesquisarem sobre diversos aspectos que envolvem a pandemia.

Published: December 2021

Objetivo: descrever a perceção dos enfermeiros acerca do processo de implantação da titulação de Hospital Amigo da Criança de um hospital escola do Sul do Brasil. Método: pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa descritiva e exploratória. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com 14 enfermeiros que trabalham na Unidade Materno-infantil do Hospital Escola da Universidade Federal de Pelotas e os dados foram analisados segundo a proposta Operativa de Minayo. Resultados: os enfermeiros se sentem corresponsáveis, mesmo não participando de algumas fases do processo. Enfatizam que o processo é dificil, existe fragilidade no engajamento da equipe multidisciplinar, bem como no incentivo institucional. Destacaram que o incentivo ao aleitamento materno, o contato pele a pele, amamentação na 1ª hora de vida e o alojamento conjunto são as ações que potencializam o processo, contrapondo com o uso de bico/chupeta e o número de partos cesáreos realizados na instituição. Conclusão: a maioria dos enfermeiros declara-se participativa e atuante na busca pelo título de Hospital Amigo da Criança, mesmo não participando de todas as fases do processo e das atividades propostas. Os resultados apresentados poderão fornecer subsídios aos gestores e profissionais de saúde na construção de ações para garantir que mais hospitais alcancem a titulação e IHAC.

Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a rare condition, characterized by the presence of air in the mediastinum without any apparent precipitating cause. It is mainly a radiological diagnosis. The onus of differentiating between secondary and spontaneous pneumomediastinum lies on a thorough workup. In addition to etiology, complications such as tension pneumomediastinum, cervical emphysema, and pneumorachis. When present, must be diagnosed promptly. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum is a benign condition which is usually managed conservatively. Although not routinely seen on positron emission tomography/computed tomography, when present, they must be picked up and reported accurately to guide appropriate management of the patient.
