Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Algorithms for Assessing the Authenticity of a Scientific Article in Scopus: Translator's Experience
Authors: OSADCHYI V. I. , OSADCHA O. V.
Published: January 2023

Objective. This paper examines ways to solve the problem of cross-language plagiarism in scientific works written in Ukrainian, which are to be translated and published in English. Considering that Ukrainian university libraries are directly involved in the practices of improving the level of awareness of lecturers and scientists, as well as their support of a large number of new digital tools, we draw attention to the emergence of new opportunities in the practices of supporting academic integrity. Methods. Big Data mining techniques and analysis of algorithms underlying machine translation software were employed to identify the cases of cross-language plagiarism in scientific articles originally written in the Ukrainian language. Results. Based on the analysis of 4000 translated manuscripts, it was established that the standard Microsoft Word 2022 software, typically used to write an article, identifies with a very high accuracy those parts of the text that had been earlier published and stored in a digital format. Conclusions. With the advent of Microsoft Office 365 software (released in 2022), it becomes possible to check any article originally written in Ukrainian or Russian, while being translated into English, for similarities with previously published academic papers. This allows for an instantaneous correction check that may prove useful in preventing the intended or unintended occurrence of cross-language plagiarism in scientific papers. It is advisable to more actively involve librarians of Ukrainian universities in using the powerful potential of digital support for the research activities of their users, including writing papers and checking them for signs of plagiarism.

Authors: PRIJANA P. , YANTO A.
Published: January 2023

Objective. The students’ academic achievement is related to their intelligence (IQ). Studies on factors that affect student academic achievement are still relatively limited and few. Purpose of this research is to consider student academic achievement with the ability to read a collection of textbooks from the library collection. Methods. The research method used is quantitative research. While the method of observation is experiment. Results. First hypothesis is academic achievement has a significant relationship with the good reading method. The hypothesis is accepted because academic achievement has a significant relationship with reading habits. Both the experimental group and the control group showed that academic achievement has a significant relationship with students reading methods, or it can be said that the good reading method is equivalent to students' reading habits. Second hypothesis, academic achievement has a significant relationship with students' reading ability is accepted. The calculated Chi-square count is greater than the Chi-square table. Third hypothesis, academic achievement has a non-significant relationship with access to information sources, meaning that the hypothesis is rejected. Conclusions. Student’s academic achievement had a significant relationship with the good reading method and a non-significant relationship with reading ability. Student’s academic achievement had a non-significant relationship with access to information sources.

Published: January 2023

Objective. To determine the place of safety skills in the system of digital competences and the role of the university library in their formation among users. The acquisition of safety skills in working with information will allow users to level out and control the negative impact of external information factors. Among the factors that negatively affect a person, there is a colossal amount of information, consisting of actual, relevant, and useful information, as well as garbled, fake, manipulative, and destructive ones. Methods. Empirical methods have been used in the investigation. The practical experience and recommendations of international and national experts in the direction of the formation of safety skills in working with information have been analyzed. The level of their implementation by the library at this stage has been monitored. Result. It has been determined that for the qualitative and integral formation of users’ safety skills in working with information, it is necessary to expand the list of activities and topics in the direction of their popularization and training. The acquisition of safety basics of working with information will allow users to restore and maintain control over physical and psychological health. Conclusions. So, the ability to safely interact with information is one of the most important components of the digital competence system of users, which is especially important in wartime conditions. Teaching such competences will help users to realize, control, and level out the negative impact of external information factors, and that's why it can be considered an urgent task for libraries as institutions that are competent to work with information.

Authors: Cherol Camilla Christine de Souza , Ferreira Aline Alves , Lignani Juliana de Bem , Salles-Costa Rosana
Published: January 2023

This study aims to analyze the association between social indicators and the worsening of food insecurity in 2013 and 2018 in different regions of Brazil. Data from the Brazilian National Household Sample Survey (2013) and Brazilian Household Budgets Survey (2018) were analyzed, considering nationally representative samples of 110,750 and 57,920 households, respectively. Food insecurity was assessed using the Brazilian Food Insecurity Scale by estimating the percentage changes in food insecurity levels between 2013 and 2018, according to sociodemographic variables. The association between social indicators and food insecurity disaggregated by region was estimated using multinomial logistic regression models. Although North and Northeast regions had higher proportions of food insecurity, the Southeast and Central-West regions had the highest increase in food insecurity in the same periods. Income was the indicator with the highest association with food insecurity both in 2013 and 2018. We also observed the association between the presence of three or more residents aged under 18 in a household and a higher risk of food insecurity in North and South regions. Food insecurity increased unevenly among regions during the Brazilian economic crisis, which reinforced regional inequality. Moreover, food insecurity was greater among households with worse social and economic living conditions, contributing to social inequality in the country. Thus, strengthening public policies to promote food security and nutrition according to regional social inequities is necessary.

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Occlusion is the most common complication of colon cancer. Surgical treatment is associated with the highest morbidity and mortality rate (10–27%) and has the worst prognosis. It is necessary for immediate management, avoiding colic perforation and peritonitis. The increase in mortality in emergency colon cancer surgery is multifactorial. AIMS: The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for early postoperative mortality that highlights the therapeutic strategy in the management of obstructive colon cancer. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on patients admitted from 2008 to 2020 at the Department of General Surgery due to obstructive colon cancer and operated on as an emergency (within 24 h of admission). RESULTS: In all, 118 patients with colon cancer were operated, and the early postoperative mortality was 10.2%. The univariate analysis highlighted that the American Society of Anesthesiology score III or IV, perforation tumor, one postoperative complication, and two simultaneous postoperative complications were considered significant risk factors for early postoperative mortality after emergent surgery. Multivariate analysis showed that only tumor perforation and the occurrence of two postoperative complications were significant risk factors. CONCLUSION: This study showed that postoperative complication is the leading cause of early postoperative mortality after emergency surgery for obstructive colon cancer. Optimizing the postoperative management of these higher risk patients is still necessary and may reduce the mortality rate.
REMOTE ASYNCHRONOUS FEEDBACK FOR UNSUPERVISED LAPAROSCOPIC TRAINING: THE “LAPP” PLATFORM
Authors: ULLOA Gabriel , NEYEM Andres , ESCALONA Gabriel , ORTIZ Catalina , VARAS Julian
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The advantages of laparoscopic surgery over traditional open surgery have changed the surgical education paradigm in the past 20 years. Among its benefits are an improvement in clinical outcomes and patient safety, becoming the standard in many surgical procedures. However, it encompasses an additional challenge due to the complexity to achieve the desired competency level. Simulation-based training has emerged as a solution to this problem. However, there is a relative scarcity of experts to provide personalized feedback. Technology-Enhanced Learning could be a valuable aid in personalizing the learning process and overcoming geographic and time-related barriers that otherwise would preclude the training to happen. Currently, various educational digital platforms are available, but none of them is able to successfully provide personalized feedback. AIMS: The aim of this study was to develop and test a proof of concept of a novel Technology-Enhanced Learning laparoscopic skills platform with personalized remote feedback. METHODS: The platform “Lapp,” a web and mobile cloud-based solution, is proposed. It consists of a web and mobile application where teachers can evaluate remotely and asynchronously exercises performed by students, adding personalized feedback for trainees to achieve a learning curve wherever and whenever they train. To assess the effectiveness of this platform, two groups of students were compared: 130 participants received in-person feedback and 39 participants received remote asynchronous feedback throughout the application. RESULTS: The results showed no significant differences regarding competency levels among both groups. CONCLUSION: A novel Technology-Enhanced Learning strategy consisting of remote asynchronous feedback throughout Lapp facilitates and optimizes learning, solving traditional spatiotemporal limitations.

Authors: Paolucci Rodolfo , Pereira Neto André , Nadanovsky Paulo
Published: January 2023

RESUMO Pouco tempo atrás, para alguém obter informação, era preciso comprar um jornal, um livro, uma revista ou ir até uma biblioteca. Hoje, a internet disponibiliza uma miríade de informação rapidamente. Entretanto, as informações veiculadas podem estar desatualizadas, incompletas, incorretas ou deliberadamente mentirosas: as fakenews. Na saúde, essas informações podem afetar o bem-estar ou causar dano ao indivíduo e à sociedade. Para enfrentar esse problema, avaliações da qualidade da informação de sites de saúde têm sido realizadas por profissionais, pesquisadores e instituições. As avaliações verificam frequentemente a exatidão da informação oferecida. Contudo, os indicadores de acurácia da informação não têm sido construídos a partir da Medicina Baseada em Evidências (MBE). O objetivo desse artigo é construir indicadores a partir das práticas da MBE, analisando o caso da tuberculose. O artigo propõe 43 indicadores de acurácia da informação. Com eles, foi avaliada a informação disponível sobre tuberculose no site do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil. Os resultados indicam que falta muita informação e há informação incorreta. Essa avaliação reitera a importância da construção de indicadores de acurácia da informação a partir da MBE. Este trabalho pretende incentivar a realização de novos estudos sobre avaliação da qualidade da informação de saúde na internet.

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT The study aimed to identify strategies to qualify the practices of health care destined to People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), especially the accompanying at health care services. Four pedagogical workshops were carried out, between September 2021 and February 2022, in which PLWHA who live in Belo Horizonte and Metropolitan region were invited to share their experiences regarding HIV/AIDS and to reflect about how formal and informal groups, represented graphically by the technique of Venn Diagram, can contribute to qualify health care practices destined to PLWHA. Twenty PLWHA joined the study; thirteen cisgender men, six cisgender women and one trans woman. The elements included at the Diagram have been categorized at dimensions: structural, informational, and relational. The results demonstrate that, despite the advance at structural dimension, we have evolved very little when it comes to main elements from relational and informational dimensions. The morals metaphors about HIV/AIDS and the stigma remain modeling practices of health care for PLWHA, emphasizing the urgent reconstruction of these practices. We comprehend that this reconstruction demands the rescue of the participation and citizenship, consolidated by the empowerment of assistance policies and prevention to HIV/AIDS as well the assurance of human rights.
Collective health and social psychology of praxis: an interdisciplinary path for meta-formation in graduate studies
Authors: Scarcelli Ianni Regia , Rivera Mariana Fagundes de Almeida , Valentim Ana Carolina Martins de Souza Felippe , Lima Nayara Portilho , Martins Aline Almeida
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT This article is based on the understanding of interdisciplinarity as a way to act against the fragmented visions present in the processes of knowledge production and socialization. The objective is to share reflections that problematize interdisciplinarity from the experience of graduate academic training in a research group whose members have diverse training and professional fields and focus on the relationships between public policy, health and human needs. The reflections were based on issues that emerged during the group’s systematic meetings, and the group was understood as a theoretical and methodological strategy, and was sustained by the dialogue between collective health as a field of knowledge and practice, and the social psychology of praxis, formulated by Enrique Pichon-Rivière. The articulating axis of this experience is training in its broadest sense, manifested on the principle of the inseparability of (i.e., learning-research-doing) and as self-training in a mutual process of reflective teaching-research-outreach action, of learning how to learn. In this sense, it is argued that it is a metatraining that can only take place from the perspective of knowledge dialogues and interdisciplinarity.

Authors: Carvalho Liliany Mara Silva , Alves Jessica de Castro , Luz Tatiana Chama Borges
Published: January 2023

Resumo Medicamentos neuropsiquiátricos são utilizados para variadas condições neurológicas e psiquiátricas. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar evolução e determinantes dos gastos públicos com esses medicamentos em Minas Gerais de 2010 a 2017. Dados do Sistema Integrado de Administração de Materiais e Serviços (SIAD) foram usados para estimar volumes de aquisição e gastos. Realizou-se análise de decomposição e, para os medicamentos antiparkinsonianos foi avaliado o elenco adquirido, aplicando-se, ainda, a técnica de Drug Utilization (DU90%). O gasto anual diminuiu 36%, passando de R$ 111,7 milhões em 2010 para R$ 40,9 milhões em 2017, tendo como fatores determinantes a queda de preços e de volume, associada às mudanças do drugmix, optando-se pela aquisição de produtos, em média, mais caros. Destaca-se o aumento dos gastos para a classe dos antiparkinsonianos, porém, com significativa mudança no elenco adquirido. Esse estudo contribuiu para um melhor entendimento dos gastos públicos com medicamentos neuropsiquiátricos. A redução do volume pode elevar o risco de desabastecimento. Com relação aos antiparkinsonianos, não há evidências que sugiram aumento da oferta para a população.

Published: January 2023

Abstract Aging has imposed changes in the epidemiological profile and an increase in the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs). The aim was to estimate the direct cost related to hospital admissions of elderly people affected by CNCDs (hypertension, heart failure and diabetes mellitus) sensitive to primary care, in a medium-sized hospital, in the period 2015-2019. Secondly, we investigated whether clinical and demographic factors explain the costs and length of stay. The medical records of 165 elderly people were analyzed. We found a predominance of women with a mean age of 76.9 years. The most frequent cause of hospitalization was heart failure (62%), and the average length of stay was 9.5 days, and 16% of hospitalizations corresponded to rehospitalizations. Of these, 81% were caused by complications from the previous hospitalization. The estimated total cost was R$ 3 million. Male patients had a longer hospital stay compared to female patients. Hypertension and the total number of procedures were significant predictors of cost and length of stay. We found that in 5 years, the costs of hospital admissions for conditions sensitive to primary care in the elderly are considerable, indicating the relevance of investments in primary care.

Authors: Izquierdo Giovane Mendieta , Ramírez Nohora Estella Joya , Silva Juan María Cuevas , Rodríguez Juan Carlos Ramírez
Published: January 2023

Abstract This work offers an analysis of the quality and consistency of an interview guide created to study the emotions in unemployed men, as well as the method for the implementation of this instrument. Our objective is to reveal how researchers from two research groups at two universities in Mexico and Colombia applied and tested a semistructured interview guide with a biographical approach to reveal the emotions in a group of unemployed men. Their methodology involved the application and evaluation of this tool and was followed in (N = 7 in Colombia + N = 14 in Mexico) interviews with unemployed men in two Latin American cities - Bogotá, Colombia and Guadalajara, Mexico - by two research groups. This application has allowed us to verify the consistency of the tool and its applicability during relevant research. Our results thus demonstrate the suitability and credibility of this methodological proposal and interview guide based on their testing and verification in interdisciplinary and interinstitutional contexts.
Analysis of femicide cases in Campinas, SP, Brazil, from 2018 to 2019 through the ecological model of violence
Authors: Caicedo-Roa Mônica , Cordeiro Ricardo Carlos
Published: January 2023

Abstract Lethal violence against women is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon in which a wide number of factors intersect and converge to make a femicide happen at a specific time and place. The main factors that contributed to the occurrence of femicides in the city of Campinas were identified from January 2018 to December 2019. Interviews were conducted with family members, friends, neighbors, witnesses, and health agents about 24 femicides using the verbal autopsy technique. The autopsies were supplemented, when possible, with information from the media and clinical autopsy reports. For the data analysis process, narratives of the cases were carried out, recovering the most important aspects of the verbal autopsies and organizing the factors found in the four levels of the ecological model of violence used by the World Health Organization: individual, relational, community, and social. The analysis was structured in categories following a deductive approach. Starting from particular cases delimited in time (2018 and 2019) and in space (municipality of Campinas) it is expected to understand the phenomenon of femicide in its broadest dimension.

Published: January 2023

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of fruit juice consumption before 6 months of age on Body Mass Index-for-age (BMI-for-age) and food consumption in preschoolers. We conducted a longitudinal study with mothers and their children (n=103) at 6 months and 3-6 years. Weight and height were measured and converted into BMI-for-age z-scores. Food consumption was analyzed using the Food Frequency Questionnaire for Children. Groups were compared using the chi-squared and Student’s t-tests. No differences in anthropometric measurements were found at preschool age between children who had been given fruit juice before 6 months and those who had not. Consumption of artificial juice (≥once/day) and sandwich cookies at preschool age was higher in children with early introduction of fruit juice (≤150 days of life) (63.8% versus 35.7%; p=0.028 and 21.3% versus 14.3%; p=0.001, respectively). The prevalence of the consumption of soda (1 to 4 times/week) and chocolate milk (at least once/day) was higher in children who had been given artificial juice before 6 months (69.2% versus 27.4%; p=0.014 and 38.5% versus 69.4%; p=0.027, respectively). It can be concluded that the consumption of sweet foods and sugary beverages was higher in children with early introduction of fruit juice.

Resumen Objetivo: analizar la adherencia, no adherencia y el abandono del seguimiento de niños derivados a los centros de referencia de alto riesgo de la Rede Mãe Paranaense. Método: estudio del método convergente paralelo mixto, en el que ambos enfoques tienen el mismo peso. El escenario de estudio fueron dos consultorios externos de alto riesgo del sur del país. En la parte cuantitativa se analizaron 3.107 historias clínicas de niños de alto riesgo y se realizó una distribución espacial. En la parte cualitativa, se realizaron entrevistas a 29 profesionales de la salud y a 34 familiares, y se realizó el análisis de contenido. Se crearon dos bases de datos que se analizaron por separado y se integraron al final. Resultados: las tasas de adherencia al seguimiento están disminuyendo, fundamentalmente en los municipios alejados de los consultorios externos de alto riesgo, y las tasas de no adherencia y abandono van en aumento. Se observó en los relatos de los representantes y del gestor, un problema entre la oferta de transporte y el flujo de búsqueda activa de pacientes ausentes, lo que contribuye al aumento de las tasas de no adherencia y abandono, y, por ende, a la disminución de la adherencia. Conclusión: la adherencia de los niños de alto riesgo está disminuyendo y, a su vez, aumentan las tasas de no adherencia y abandono.

Published: January 2023

Abstract Objective: to develop and evaluate a middle-range theory for the Nursing Diagnosis of Ineffective Breathing Pattern in children with congenital heart disease. Method: a methodological study carried out in two stages: 1) development of a middle- range theory for Ineffective Breathing Pattern in children with congenital heart diseases from the analysis of the NANDA-International taxonomy, Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model and a literature review; and 2) assessment of the middle-range theory developed using expert panel evaluation. Results: after three panel evaluations, the final version of the middle-range theory resulted in four metaparadigms, two key concepts, two pictorial diagrams, two propositions and a description of the interrelationships between the key concepts of Ineffective Breathing Pattern in children with congenital heart diseases and evidence for the Nursing practice. Conclusion: the middle-range theory developed and evaluated by experts identified stimuli and behaviors that can assist nurses in identifying the reasons why Ineffective Breathing Pattern is diagnosed and how it manifests itself in children with congenital heart disease, increasing understanding of the relationships between the causes and their temporality.

Resumen Objetivo: evaluar el efecto de la intervención educativa (edworkcases) sobre los resultados de la evaluación de los estudiantes en sus prácticas clínicas, sus actitudes hacia los diagnósticos de Enfermería y su nivel de satisfacción. Método: en este estudio se empleó un diseño transversal y observacional. Los participantes fueron 68 estudiantes de tercer año de la carrera de Enfermería de una universidad pública de Madrid, España. Los datos que se analizaron en el estudio fueron las calificaciones obtenidas por los estudiantes en sus prácticas clínicas, al igual que las puntuaciones antes y después de la intervención en la Escala de Posicionamiento ante el Diagnóstico de Enfermería y en una encuesta de satisfacción. Se utilizó la prueba t de Student para realizar una comparación de valores medios por participación en el proyecto (sí/no). La comparación de valores medios por profesor se llevó a cabo por medio de pruebas Kruskal-Wallis. Resultados: índice de participación: 72,4%; el 92% de los participantes eran mujeres, con una mediana de edad de 21 años. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre participantes y no participantes en cuanto a la puntuación media en la Evaluación General y en la Evaluación de Estudios de Caso, con puntuaciones más elevadas en el grupo de participantes. Las puntuaciones medias correspondientes a las actitudes con respecto a los diagnósticos de Enfermería fueron 99,9 (SD=2,8) y 111.1 (SD=2.9) antes y después de la intervención, respectivamente [IC 95%: 3,3-19,2].

Comparative effects of thymol and vitamin E on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in male Wistar rats

Abstract Following the obesity epidemics, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has grown in prevalence and become a main cause of morbidity and death, intimately linked to cardiovascular disease, cancer, and cirrhosis. The key factor in the evolution of NAFLD is thought to be oxidative stress. Because most patients cannot change their lifestyle or dietary habits, a pharmaceutical strategy is now required to treat NAFLD. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, is treated with vitamin E. (NASH). Vitamin E is also a powerful antioxidant that has been demonstrated to lower oxidative stress in people with NAFLD. Thymol is a monoterpene phenol with a variety of pharmacological effects, however its anti-fatty liver properties have yet to be investigated. Despite the fact that oxidative stress is thought to have a role in the etiology of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, antioxidant therapies have not been well studied in the treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The goal was to learn more about vitamin E and thymol's biological activities, with a particular emphasis on their therapeutic effectiveness in NAFLD. Four groups of thirty-two adult male rats were formed (healthy control, thymol, Vit E, and fatty liver). For 28 days, rats were given either oral vitamin E (200 mg/kg) or thymol (50 mg/kg) randomly. The levels of ALT, AST, TNF- α, Ferritin, CK-MB enzymes, and MAPK gene expression were then determined in the serum. Based on a random effect model analysis, at the end of 28 days of therapy, ALT (41.43 U/L), AST (47.91 U/L), Ferritin (1.13 pg/dl), CK-MB (251.22 IU/L), TNF-α (95.39 pg/mL) (p≤0.001), and MAPK gene expression levels (p≤0.05) significantly reduced in both experimental groups compared with the fatty liver group. Vitamin E and thymol therapy is a safe, affordable, and effective therapeutic option in the fatty liver group. Patients with fatty liver disease should be encouraged to take vitamin E and Thymol supplements, which are both safe and affordable, because more effective new therapeutic options are lacking.
Mycobacteriosis in an appearantly healty atlantic mackerel (Scomber Scombrus, L.) and zoonotic potential
Authors: Ozmen Ozlem
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT Mycobacteriosis was detected in seven out of one Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) that was purchased for human consumption from a fish market. The fish was apparently healthy but during cleaning, several granulomatous foci were noticed in the visceral organs. Histopathological examination of the lesions revealed numerous foci characterized by caseous necrosis in the center of the lesion surrounded by epithelioid giant cells. Ziehl-Neelsen staining revealed the presence of rod-shaped, acid-fast bacteria. Furthermore, immunohistochemical examination revealed the presence of a protein of mycobacterial origin in giant cells and macrophages. Based on gross and microscopic findings, mycobacteriosis was diagnosed. This report showed that due to its zoonotic potential, mycobacteriosis should be considered even in healthy-appearing fishes for human consumption.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the antral follicle count (AFC) and the ovarian morphology of Bos indicus in different age groups: 12-23 months (G1), 24-35 months (G2), 36-47 months (G3), 48-59 months (G4), and >60 months (G5). Ovaries were collected individually and sent to the laboratory, where we measured AFC, the diameter and weight of the ovaries, dominant follicle (DF, ≥8mm), corpus luteum (CL), and small follicles (SF, <8mm). AFC were classified as high, intermediate-high, intermediate-low, and low. A group of ovaries was subjected to follicular aspiration to evaluate the morphological quality of the recovered cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs). Mean AFC did not vary between ages. The morphological characteristic that was most closely correlated with AFC was the weight of the small follicles. There was no relationship between AFC and the weight and diameter of the DF and CL. Quality of the COCs was superior in ovaries in which the CL was present, but it did not vary between the AFC classes. We conclude that AFC can be performed on a single ovary, regardless of the presence, diameter, and weight of the CL and DF in zebu between 12 and 60 months old.
