The cover crop Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br. (pearl millet) reduces the emergence of weed species in the field through a mechanism that is not fully known. The identification of the allelopathic activity of pearl millet can contribute to the development of no-tillage techniques to produce crops without or with low doses of herbicides. This issue was investigated by testing the effects of extracts from the aerial parts of pearl millet on the germination and growth of the weeds Bidens pilosa L., Euphorbia heterophylla L., and Ipomoea grandifolia (Dammer) O’Donell under laboratory conditions. The ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) at a concentration of 2000 µg mL−1 was inactive on Bidens pilosa; it inhibited root length (−72%) and seedling fresh weight (−41%) of E. heterophylla, and in I. grandifolia the length of primary root and aerial parts and the fresh and dry weight of seedlings were reduced by 63%, 32%, 25%, and 12%, respectively. In roots of I. grandifolia seedlings, at the initial development stage, EAF induced oxidative stress and increased electrolyte leakage. At the juvenile vegetative stage, a lower concentration of EAF (250 µg mL−1) induced a stimulus in seedling growth (+60% in root length and +23% in aerial parts length) that was associated with increased photosynthetic efficiency. However, at higher concentrations (1000 µg mL−1), it induced the opposite effects, inhibiting the growth of root (−41%) and aerial parts (−25%), with reduced superoxide dismutase activity and photosynthetic efficiency. The stilbenoid pallidol was identified as the main compound in EAF. The allelopathic activity of pearl millet may be attributed, at least in part, to the impairment of energy metabolism and the induction of oxidative stress in weed seedlings, with pallidol possibly involved in this action. Such findings demonstrated that the application of the EAF extract from pearl millet can be a natural and renewable alternative tool for weed control.

The breadth and depth of plant leaf metabolomes have been implicated in key interactions with plant enemies aboveground. In particular, divergence in plant species chemical composition—amongst neighbors, relatives, or both—is often suggested as a means of escape from insect herbivore enemies. Plants also experience strong pressure from enemies such as belowground pathogens; however, little work has been carried out to examine the evolutionary trajectories of species’ specialized chemistries in both roots and leaves. Here, we examine the GCMS detectable phytochemistry (for simplicity, hereafter referred to as specialized volatile metabolites) of the tropical tree genus Protium, testing the hypothesis that phenotypic divergence will be weaker belowground compared to aboveground due to more limited dispersal by enemies. We found that, after controlling for differences in chemical richness, roots expressed less structurally diverse compounds than leaves, despite having higher numbers of specialized volatile metabolites, and that species’ phylogenetic distance was only positively correlated with compound structural distance in roots, not leaves. Taken together, our results suggest that root specialized volatile metabolites exhibit significantly less phenotypic divergence than leaf specialized metabolites and may be under relaxed selection pressure from enemies belowground.

Following implantation, infections, inflammatory reactions, corrosion, mismatches in the elastic modulus, stress shielding and excessive wear are the most frequent reasons for orthopedic implant failure. Natural polymer-based coatings showed especially good results in achieving better cell attachment, growth and tissue-implant integration, and it was found that the inclusions of nanosized fillers in the coating structure improves biomineralization and consequently implant osseointegration, as the nanoparticles represent calcium phosphate nucleation centers and lead to the deposition of highly organized hydroxyapatite crystallites on the implant surface. In this study, magnetic nanoparticles synthesized by the co-precipitation method were used for the preparation of cellulose acetate composite coatings through the phase-inversion method. The biomineralization ability of the membranes was tested through the Taguchi method, and it was found that nanostructured hydroxyapatite was formed at the surface of the composite membrane (with a higher organization degree and purity, and a Ca/P percentage closer to the one seen with stoichiometric hydroxyapatite, compared to the one deposited on neat cellulose acetate). The results obtained indicate a potential new application for magnetic nanoparticles in the field of orthopedics.

Published: January 2025

A uniform distribution of Pd nanoparticles on g-C3N5 layers is achieved through wet-chemical reduction (Pd/g-C3N5-EG). Pd/g-C3N5-EG demonstrates superior hydrogen production yield compared to heterojunctions synthesized via photoreduction (Pd/g-C3N5-PR), attributed to improved metal–support interaction. Pd/g-C3N5-EG demonstrates an average hydrogen evolution rate of 891.304 µmol g−1 h−1, representing a 7.8-fold increase over Pd/g-C3N5-PR and a 34.5-fold increase over bare g-C3N5. Pd/g-C3N5-EG also maintains its hydrogen production capability after five recycling cycles, with only a slight decrease in efficiency.

Treatment of extremely saline water such as the brine rejected from reverse osmosis water desalination plants, and produced water from shale oil and non-conventional gas extraction, is considered a global problem. Consequently, in this work, hollow fiber membrane distillation (HFMD) is experimentally evaluated for desalinating extremely saline water of a salinity ranging from 40,000 to 130,000 ppm. For the purpose of comparison, the HFMD is also tested for desalinating brackish (3000–12,000 ppm) and sea (25,000–40,000 ppm) water. Firstly, the HFMD is tested at two values of feed water temperature (65 and 76 °C) and flow rate (600 and 850 L/h). The experimental results showed that the HFMD productivity significantly increases when the temperature of feed water increases. Increasing the feed water flow rate also has a positive effect on the productivity of HFMD. It is also concluded that the productivity of the HFMD is not significantly affected by increasing the salt concentration when brackish and sea water are used. The productivity also slightly decreases with increasing the salt concentration when extremely saline water is used. The decrement in the productivity reaches 27%, when the salt concentration increases from 40,000 to 130,000 ppm. Based on the conducted economic analysis, the HFMD shows a good potential for desalinating extremely saline water especially when the solar collector is used as a heat source. In this case, the cost per liter of freshwater is reduced by 21.7–23.1% when the evacuated tube solar collectors are used compared to the system using electrical heaters. More reduction in the cost per liter of freshwater is expected when a high capacity solar-powered HFMD plant is installed.
Are Women More Risk Averse? A Sequel
Authors: Giannikos Christos I. , Korkou Efstathia D.
Published: January 2025

This paper reexamines the question of gender differences in financial relative risk aversion using updated methods and data. Specifically, the paper revisits the 1998 work “Are women more risk averse?” by Jianakoplos and Bernasek, suggests refinements in their model in relation to the database used, namely the U.S. Federal Reserve Board’s Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), and performs new tests on the latest SCF from 2022. The suggested refinements pertain first to an enhanced computation of wealth, which includes additional categories of assets such as 401(k)s or other thrift savings accounts, and second to the more subtle handling and consideration of specific demographic data of the SCF respondents. Unlike the original study, which also included married couples, the new study focuses exclusively on single-headed (never-married) households. This eliminates ambiguity about the actual financial decision maker in households, enabling a clearer assessment of individual gendered behavior. Following the refinements, the new tests reveal a continuing pattern of decreasing relative risk aversion; however, contrary to the 1998 findings, there is no significant gender difference in financial relative risk aversion in 2022. This study also documents that education levels strongly influence risk-taking: single women with higher education levels are more likely to hold risky assets, while for men, higher education correlates with less risk-taking. The paper concludes by informing policymakers and financial educators so as to further tailor their strategies for promoting gender equality in financial decision-making.

Published: January 2025

As the climate emergency escalates, the role of forests in carbon sequestration is paramount. This paper proposes a framework that integrates local capacities, multi-source remote sensing data, and meta-learning to enhance forest carbon assessment methodologies in data-scarce regions. By integrating multi-source optical and radar remote sensing data alongside community forest inventories, we applied a meta-modelling approach using stacked generalization ensemble to estimate forest above-ground carbon (AGC). We also conducted a Kruskal–Wallis test to determine significant differences in AGC among different tree species. The Kruskal–Wallis test (p = 1.37 × 10−13) and Dunn post-hoc analysis revealed significant differences in carbon stock potential among tree species, with Afzelia quanzensis (x~ = 12 kg/ha, P-holm-adj. = 0.05) and the locally known species M’buta (x~ = 6 kg/ha, P-holm-adj. = 5.45 × 10−9) exhibiting a significantly higher median AGC. Our results further showed that combining optical and radar remote sensing data substantially improved prediction accuracy compared to single-source remote sensing data. To improve forest carbon assessment, we employed stacked generalization, combining multiple machine learning algorithms to leverage their complementary strengths and address individual limitations. This ensemble approach yielded more robust estimates than conventional methods. Notably, a stacking ensemble of support vector machines and random forest achieved the highest accuracy (R2 = 0.84, RMSE = 1.36), followed by an ensemble of all base learners (R2 = 0.83, RMSE = 1.39). Additionally, our results demonstrate that factors such as the diversity of base learners and the sensitivity of meta-leaners to optimization can influence stacking performance.
Hierarchical Transfer Learning with Transformers to Improve Semantic Segmentation in Remote Sensing Land Use
Authors: Chen Miaomiao , Li Lianfa
Published: January 2025

Land use classification remains a significant challenge in remote sensing semantic segmentation. While convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used, their inherent limitations, such as restricted receptive fields, hinder their widespread application in remote sensing. Additionally, the scarcity of labeled remote sensing data and domain shift issues adversely impact deep learning model performance. This study proposes a hierarchical transfer learning framework for fine-category semantic segmentation tasks, leveraging the powerful global relationship modeling capabilities of Transformer models to classify land use in Dongpo District, Meishan City, in mainland China. Our framework represents multilevel transfer learning, progressing from non-remote sensing classification to coarse classification, then to the refined classification of remote sensing. We compared the performance of Transformer models with representative baseline CNNs like U-Net and DeepLab V3+. Results show that the Swin-Unet model outperforms the other models used in this study. It achieved the highest test mean intersection over union (MIoU) of 0.837 and 0.810 for residential and transportation in level 1 (coarse) classification, respectively, and 0.545 for irrigated land in level 2 (fine-grained) classification. Transfer learning from pre-trained models significantly enhanced semantic segmentation accuracy compared to random parameter initialization (ranging from 0.4% to 17.7%), with up to a 17.7% improvement in test MIoU for the public land category. The hierarchical transfer learning framework further improved segmentation accuracy for corresponding level 2 categories, leveraging pre-trained level 1 models. Our study shows the applicability of Transformer-based transfer learning in remote sensing land use classification.

Published: January 2025

Forests mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by capturing CO₂ and storing it as carbon in various forms, including living biomass, dead wood, soil, and forest litter. Importantly, when trees are harvested, a portion of the above-ground biomass is converted into harvested wood products (HWPs), which can retain carbon for decades. With approximately 7 million hectares of forest (30% of its land area), Romania significantly contributes to the country’s carbon budget through the HWP pool. Using country-specific data from 1961 to 2022 and an IPCC method, we tracked HWP carbon storage and projected future scenarios to evaluate the category’s significance in achieving the 2050 climate target. During this period, the carbon stored in Romanian HWPs more than doubled from 28.20 TgC to 60.76 TgC, with sawnwood products as major contributors. Fluctuations were influenced by domestic policies, market dynamics, and industry changes, notably after the 1990s. Annual carbon inflow dipped to 0.65 TgC in 1994 and peaked at 2.54 TgC in 2013. By analyzing the scenarios, we demonstrated that a moderate growth trajectory in carbon inflow, combined with a focus on producing long-lived wood products, could double carbon stock changes by 2050 to 4.4 TgC—roughly 4% of the country’s current total emissions excluding the LULUCF sector. Additionally, based on sustainable forest management practices in Romania, this approach would significantly enhance the carbon pool and its importance in achieving the country’s climate policies.
At Work with Sustainable Well-Being and Sustainable Performance: Testing the DISC Model Among Office Workers
Authors: Jonge Jan de , Peeters Maria C. W.
Published: January 2025

There is increasing interest in sustainable employment throughout employees’ careers, which makes sustainable work environments more and more important. This study investigates key components of sustainable work systems (i.e., job demands and job resources) and their association with employee sustainable well-being and sustainable performance. Specifically, using two prominent theoretical frameworks, the interaction between job demands and job resources was studied on the one hand and sustainable well-being and performance on the other. A cross-sectional survey study using online questionnaires was performed among 154 office workers of a business operations department. Moderated regression analyses revealed that emotional demands were negatively associated with sustainable performance in the case of low emotional resources (−1 SD, b = −0.14, p = 0.025), and this relation was buffered (and even reversed) in the case of high emotional resources (+1 SD, b = 0.11, p = 0.042). Regarding sustainable well-being, results revealed that higher cognitive job resources were associated with higher sustainable well-being (b = 0.13, p = 0.041). It can be concluded that enhancing job resources as key drivers of sustainable well-being and sustainable performance is important. The discussion addresses theoretical and practical implications, adding to the expanding knowledge of sustainable work systems.

Published: January 2025

This study investigates how social exclusion influences sustainable consumption patterns, specifically examining its impact on upcycled product adoption as a key metric of circular economy implementation, while also examining the moderating effects of self-efficacy and consumer innovativeness. As social isolation becomes increasingly prevalent in modern society, understanding its effects on sustainable consumption behaviors has become crucial. A survey involving 857 participants was executed in October 2024, and the data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with EQS 6.4. The results revealed that social exclusion positively influences both purchase intention for upcycled products and the perception of ethical consumption. Furthermore, an enhanced perception of ethical consumption significantly enhances purchase intention for upcycled products. Self-efficacy demonstrated significant moderating effects throughout all relationships in the model, notably pronounced in the relationship between social exclusion and ethical consumption awareness. Consumer innovativeness exhibited a significant moderating effect solely on the association between social exclusion and ethical consumption perception, but not on purchase intentions. This research advances sustainability measurement frameworks by establishing quantifiable links between psychological factors and sustainable consumption outcomes, offering practical metrics for assessing the social dimensions of sustainability implementation.
On Superization of Nonlinear Integrable Dynamical Systems
Authors: Prykarpatski Anatolij K. , Kycia Radosław A. , Dilnyi Volodymyr M.
Published: January 2025

We study an interesting superization problem of integrable nonlinear dynamical systems on functional manifolds. As an example, we considered a quantum many-particle Schrödinger–Davydov model on the axis, whose quasi-classical reduction proved to be a completely integrable Hamiltonian system on a smooth functional manifold. We checked that the so-called “naive” approach, based on the superization of the related phase space variables via extending the corresponding Poisson brackets upon the related functional supermanifold, fails to retain the dynamical system super-integrability. Moreover, we demonstrated that there exists a wide class of classical Lax-type integrable nonlinear dynamical systems on axes in relation to which a superization scheme consists in a reasonable superization of the related Lax-type representation by means of passing from the basic algebra of pseudo-differential operators on the axis to the corresponding superalgebra of super-pseudodifferential operators on the superaxis.

Authors: Brezavšček Alenka , Baggia Alenka
Published: January 2025

This work represents a comprehensive and systematic literature review (SLR) that follows the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines for research assessing information and cyber security maturity. The period from 2012 to 2024 was considered and the final collection of 96 studies was taken into account. Our findings were summarised in two stages, a quantitative analysis and a qualitative synthesis. In the first part, various quantitative indicators were used to analyse the evolution of the information and cyber security maturity assessment domain over the last twelve years. The qualitative synthesis, which was limited to 36 research papers, categorises the studies into three key areas: the development of new maturity models, the implementation of established models and frameworks, and the advancement of methodologies to support maturity assessments. The findings reveal significant progress in sector-specific customisation, the growing importance of lightweight models for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and the integration of emerging technologies. This study provides important insights into the evolving landscape of information and cyber security maturity assessment and provides actionable recommendations for academia and industry to improve security resilience and support the adoption of tailored, effective maturity models.
Long-Term Trends and Ecological Risks of Heavy Metal Accumulation in Cultivated Land of Songnen Plain, China
Authors: Liu Zonglai , Li Jinying , Chen Yanan , Zhang Fengjun , Feng Wei
Published: January 2025

Heavy metal pollution in agricultural soils poses a serious threat to food security. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct risk assessments and issue early warnings about high levels of metal contamination for the sustained prosperity of agriculture. To assess the risks, identify the sources, quantify the amounts, and determine the extent of pollution from seven heavy metals, as well as to provide early warnings, 78 soil samples were collected from farmed lands in the Songnen Plain of Jilin Province. The average concentrations of Zn, Cu, Mn, Pb, Cd, Ni, and As were found to be 2.05, 1.5, 0.2, 1.09, 2.68, 1.53, and 1.17 times higher than the background values of Chinese soils, respectively. Source analysis indicated that toxic Pb originates from vehicle exhaust emission, while Cd, Cu, and Ni are attributed to industrial activities. Zn and As are likely associated with agricultural practices, and Mn predominantly stems from natural environmental sources. The geo-accumulation index suggests relatively high, accumulation levels for Zn, Cu, Mn, and Pb. Meanwhile, the single-factor pollution index indicates elevated pollution levels of Zn, Cu, and Cd. Potential ecological risk assessment reveals that certain areas within Changchun and Baicheng cities exhibit higher ecological risks. Notably, Cd has the highest potential ecological risk index (RI) of the seven heavy metals and warrants special attention. By analyzing annual pollutant accumulations, predictions can be made about the heavy metal content in four cities within the Songnen Plain, enabling the issuance of early warnings regarding soil heavy metal risks. The findings suggest that without proactive measures to mitigate heavy metal accumulation in soils, Changchun and Songyuan will reach severe pollution levels by 2031 and 2029, respectively.

Sediment-induced erosion is a primary cause of failure in the flow-passage components of Francis turbine units. This study adopted the Realizable k–ε turbulence model to numerically simulate the effects of sediment-induced erosion on the guide components of Francis turbines. Specifically, using flow similarity theory, a testing device suitable for studying the sediment-induced erosion behavior of turbine vanes was designed, and the similarity between the flow fields of actual vanes and testing device vanes was validated. The results revealed a high degree of consistency between the near-wall flow velocities and sediment volume fractions experienced by both vanes at 0.5 vane height. For instance, the midsection of the suction side of the stay and guide vanes exhibited relatively stable velocities of 12.5 m/s and 42 m/s, respectively. Further, sediment volume fractions at the leading edge of the stay and guide vanes reached 0.015, respectively, owing to the impact of sediment-laden flow. Overall, the proposed testing device design methodology can predict the operational lifespan of actual vanes and assess the wear resistance of various coating materials. These findings provide valuable scientific guidance for optimizing the design and operation of hydropower plants.

Published: January 2025

Fernando de Noronha (FN) está na lista da viagem dos sonhos para muitos brasileiros e estrangeiros devido à facilidade de se ter contato com a natureza e a fauna marinha. A singular possibildade de se observar golfinhos-rotadores fez com que estes animais se tornassem um dos principais atrativos turísticos do arquipélago. O turismo de observação de golfinhos em FN tem aspectos positivos e negativos. Entre os aspectos positivos destacam-se a sensibilização para conservação marinha e a geração de renda para a comunidade local. Como aspectos negativos, os golfinhos sofrem com mortalidade e lesões por atropelamento, assim como com alterações comportamentais devido à pressão do turismo aquático. Este trabalho tem por objetivo evidenciar a necessidade da implementação de um ordenamento sustentável do turismo náutico em Fernando de Noronha com ênfase no turismo de observação de golfinhos-rotadores. Foram utilizados três procedimentos metodológicos: levantamento bibliográfico, coleta de dados em campo e planejamento participativo. O compartilhamento dos golfinhos em FN foi sintetizado em: normas e marcos legais da conservação de cetáceos; interação dos golfinhos com o turismo náutico e de mergulho; proposta de ordenamento do turismo náutico em FN. A legislação nacional vigente é bem clara quanto ao papel do poder público no compartilhamento dos golfinhos em FN. Entre janeiro e dezembro de 2023, o Mirante dos Golfinhos foi visitado por 4.493 turistas (N=87;X=51,64;DP=20,14). Observou-se 1.368 passagens de barcos de turismo defronte à Baía dos Golfinhos (N=907;X=15,20;DP=5,67), com acompanhamento dos golfinhos à embarcação em 8 ocasiões (0,58%). Na Baía de Santo Antônio/Entre Ilhas foram observados 12.909 agrupamentos de rotadores. A proposta do Projeto Golfinho Rotador de compartilhamento dos golfinhos de Noronha segue a estratégia de organizar os atores por area e serviços turísticos. As áreas foram divididas em Parque Nacional Marinho de FN e APA-FN. Os serviços turísticos foram classificados em passeio (golfinho, mergulho livre, mergulho rebocado e/ou peixada); mergulho autônomo; pequenas embarcações com propulsão humana (canoa havaiana, caiaque e pedalinho) e pesca. O sucesso no processo de conservação dos golfinhos em FN é extremamente dependente da capacidade de compreensão da natureza pela comunidade local e do apoio dos ilhéus a este processo, pois o grau de conservação ambiental do Arquipélago sempre estará relacionado ao grau de consciência ambiental dos ilhéus. Assim, não tem como conservar os golfinho-rotadores em FN sem os Ilhéus.

Published: January 2025

Objetivo: Investigar na literatura o impacto dos fármacos antirreabsortivos na prevenção de fraturas em pacientes diagnosticados com osteoporose. Método: Revisão Integrativa da Literatura. A pesquisa eletrônica ocorreu nas bases de dados LILACS e Pubmed Resultados: Foram selecionados 8 estudos, sendo o mais antigo publicado no ano de 2000 e o mais recente no ano de 2020. Quanto aos aspectos metodológicos, 100% dos estudos selecionados correspondem a ensaios clínicos randomizados controlados por placebo. Foram considerados como estratégias de busca, as seguintes palavras-chave registradas nos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCs): “Osteoporose”, “Tratamento”, “Bisfosfonatos”, “Saúde pública”, “Denosumabe”, “Estrogênio”, “Moduladores Seletivos de Recaptação de Estrogênio”, “Idosos”. Discussão: Os fármacos antirreabsortivos atuam impedindo a ação osteclástica e, consequentemente, reduzindo o processo de remodelamento ósseo. Os bisfosfonatos são o grupo de fármacos antirreabsortivos mais utilizados. Esses fármacos atuam prevenindo fraturas em pacientes com osteoporose. Considerações finais: Este estudo observou que, todos os fármacos antirrebsortivos analisados em ensaios clínicos randomizados e controlados por placebo reduziram o risco de fraturas em pacientes com osteoporose ao serem com parados com nenhum tratamento. Assim, o tratamento da osteoporose com a utilização de fármacos antirreabsortivos provavelmente representa melhor benefício aos pacientes, especialmente na melhora da DMO e no menor risco de fraturas.

Justificativa: A Mpox é uma zoonose causada por vírus do gênero Orthopoxvirus, com maior prevalência no continente africano. Nos últimos anos foram observados surtos isolados da doença em vários países do mundo. A infecção é manifestada por erupções cutâneas variadas, mais predominantes em face, genitálias e regiões palmo-plantares. Objetivos: Descrever as principais manifestações clínicas da mpox em duas populações distintas (adultos e portadores de HIV/Aids), destacando a frequência, gravidade, tipo de manifestações e sequelas. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, realizada em setembro de 2024. A pesquisa foi conduzida nas bases de dados National Library of Medicine e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, retrospectivamente de 1958 até 2024. Resultados: Foram selecionados 39 artigos publicados entre 2005 e 2024. A maioria dos estudos se concentra nas manifestações clínicas em homens adultos, especialmente após o surto de 2022. As principais manifestações clínicas observadas foram erupções cutâneas, em diferentes estágios de evolução e de distribuição centrífuga. Como manifestações sistêmicas estão a febre, cefaleia, mialgia, astenia e linfadenopatia, com a maioria dos casos evoluiu de forma leve ou moderada. Um motivo importante de internação foi para manejo de dor anal intensa. Conclusões: Adultos apresentam uma maior diversidade de sintomas cutâneos e sistêmicos, enquanto pessoas com HIV/Aids têm um risco aumentado para formas graves, especialmente quando imunossuprimidas. A predominância recente de casos em homens que fazem sexo com outros homens (HSH) desde o surto de 2022 justifica a menor quantidade de estudos focados em outros grupos.
Potencial terapêutico da tirzepatida: uma análise do estudo SURPASS-1 para o controle da obesidade e saúde metabólica
Authors: Ferraresi Érika Lind
Published: January 2025

A obesidade é uma condição crônica associada a sérios riscos à saúde, incluindo diabetes tipo 2, doenças cardiovasculares e problemas articulares. O tratamento farmacológico com análogos de GLP-1, como a tirzepatida, tem mostrado resultados promissores no combate à obesidade. A tirzepatida, um agonista dual de GLP-1 e GIP, atua promovendo saciedade e retardando o esvaziamento gástrico, resultando em uma significativa redução de peso e controle glicêmico. Este estudo revisa a literatura sobre o uso da tirzepatida, enfatizando seu mecanismo de ação e benefícios clínicos, incluindo a melhora dos perfis lipídico e de pressão arterial. Dados do estudo SURPASS-1 demonstram que a tirzepatida, em dosagens de 5, 10 e 15 mg, oferece uma perda de peso significativa e sustentada, com efeitos positivos sobre a HbA1c e o perfil glicêmico dos pacientes. Concluímos que a tirzepatida é uma alternativa eficaz e segura para o manejo da obesidade, especialmente em pacientes com comorbidades como o diabetes tipo 2, contribuindo para uma melhora abrangente na saúde metabólica.

Published: January 2025

Em todo o mundo, a doença inflamatória intestinal atinge mais de 5 milhões de pessoas e sua incidência vem aumentando. Na literatura, no Brasil, houve um aumento de 15% em 9 anos, entretanto a literatura carece de estudos que avaliem o cenário epidemiológico da região Sudeste. Objetivo: Identificar o cenário epidemiológico de internações hospitalares por doença inflamatória intestinal na região Sudeste do Brasil na última década. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de análise de série temporal, com análise de dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS sobre hospitalizações por doença de Crohn e colite ulcerativa (CID-10 K50-K51) de 2013 a 2023, disponibilizados pelo Departamento de Informática do SUS. Foram examinados internações e óbitos, ano de processamento, raça/cor da pele, sexo e faixa etária, além da taxa de mortalidade. Os dados foram organizados no Excel e analisados mediante estatística descritiva. Resultados: A região Sudeste registrou 23.913 internações por doença inflamatória intestinal, com o estado de São Paulo liderando, totalizando 58,19% dos casos. A maioria das internações ocorreu em pacientes do sexo feminino (54,66%), sendo a faixa etária de 30 a 39 anos (16,85%) e a etnia branca as mais prevalentes. Quanto aos óbitos, foram registrados 561 casos no mesmo período. Conclusão: Ficou evidente que a doença inflamatória intestinal é proeminente na região Sudeste, com destaque ao estado de São Paulo. Os resultados reforçam a importância de considerar questões genéticas, ambientais e hormonais, no desenvolvimento e progressão da doença inflamatória intestinal, visto o predomínio em mulheres e brancos.
Clareamento dental: um estudo sobre mitos e evidências relacionados à sua eficácia e segurança
Authors: Guimarães João Victor Morais , Fernandes Raquel dos Santos , Araújo Érika Holanda de
Published: January 2025

Os procedimentos estéticos vêm ocupando um grande lugar na odontologia, sendo o clareamento dental o tratamento de escolha para os pacientes, devido à sua abordagem minimamente invasiva e com baixo custo, comparado a outros procedimentos. Normalmente, os profissionais optam por géis clareadores com peróxido de hidrogênio como agente ativo, por causa da sua eficácia. No entanto, quanto maior for a concentração do gel, maior a chance de ocorrer efeitos adversos, como sensibilidade ou irritação gengival.  Assim, o objetivo do estudo é realizar uma nova abordagem do clareamento dental acerca da sua eficácia a longo prazo e realização do procedimento com segurança. A realização desse estudo se deu por meio de uma busca nas bases de dados PubMed e Mendeley, utilizando os DeCS: “clareamento dental”, “eficácia” e “segurança”. Foram incluídos estudos que abordassem sobre uma nova perspectiva do clareamento dental e sua segurança e eficácia, no período de 2019 a 2024 disponível no formato de texto completo em português e inglês. Foram excluídos estudos in vitro, séries clínicas, revisões narrativas, artigos duplicados e artigos incompletos. O clareamento dental quando bem planejado e executado possui uma boa adesão a estrutura dentária, resultando em uma estabilidade a longo prazo e sem efeitos adversos, que podem ser minimizados quando tratados previamente. Por fim, os estudos indicaram que quanto maior a concentração do gel clareador, maiores são as chances de gerar sensibilidade dentária. Para que seja evitado isso, é necessário utilizar géis de baixa concentração que apresentem segurança e eficácia, assim como auxílio de dessensibilizantes e barreira gengival, a fim de evitar irritação da mucosa bucal também.
Artificial intelligence in financial auditing: improving efficiency and addressing ethical and regulatory challenges
Authors: Imane Laamari
Published: January 2025

Artificial Intelligence has been increasingly reshaping the face of financial auditing for improved efficiency and effectiveness in fraud detection, serving also to strengthen stakeholder trust. This study examines the impact of adopting AI on audit practices, in terms of effectiveness in improving efficiency, fraud detection, ethical challenges, regulatory barriers, and stakeholder trust. In this paper, 460 professional auditors, accountants, and organizational stakeholders have been analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, regression, and structural equation modeling. The results indicate that AI has a positive influence on efficiency, value creation, and fraud detection ability, while positively influencing stakeholder trust in organizations. However, ethical concerns from algorithmic bias to a lack of transparency and regulatory risks associated with compliance through data protection laws are also significant barriers. It thus concludes that AI has a enormous potential in revolutionizing auditing practices, and that addressing these barriers through training, transparent AI models, ethical safeguards, and supportive regulatory frameworks is also very important for its widespread adoption. Recommendations and future research avenues are presented to guide the responsible integration of AI into the auditing profession.
