Authors: MRAČKOVÁ AGNESA , ŠIMEK MILAN , HAVIAROVÁ EVA , PÁSZTORY ZOLTÁN
Published: December 2021

This study focuses on trade of hardwood products in selected countries of Eastern Europe, specifically the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. It was supported by a survey conducted with companies producing products made of hardwoods. It monitors trade trends in the wood products industry, specifically focusing on lumber, wooden veneers, furniture production, musical instruments, and wooden accessories. It also addresses the current and potential import and use of the US hardwood lumber in these countries. The study is also pointing out the shortcomings of the monitored markets. The online questionnaire and follow-up phone calls were used to obtain information from companies in countries of interest. Results showed that 83.3% of Czech respondents already use imported hardwoods in their production, followed by Hungary (69.2%) and Slovakia (54.6%). Despite the relatively high values of imported hardwood products, the overall results show that there is only a small potential for an increase in import of the US hardwoods in the wood products industry in chosen countries. The utilization of tropical hardwood species will continue because of their superior properties for specialized products such as musical instruments. Results also point out the grooving importance of certified hardwoods, their utilization, and trade.

Published: December 2021

The article deals with durability of wood, durability of wooden structures and surface modification of wood. We are trying to eliminate the factors causing degradation of wood with the use of photocatalytic materials. Those materials are efficient UV absorbers and they are able to destroy biological aggressors also. The planar particles of titanium oxide TiO2 were chosen for the purpose of our research and applied on a wooden surface. In our case, we used a water solution of TiO2. The main goal of our work was to study the interaction between planar particles of TiO2 and wood matter. The samples of pine wood (Pinus sylvestris) were monitored for 255 days and subsequently evaluated using an electron microscope. The use of TiO2 was compared with reference material and a reference commercial coating.

ANNE FINCH AND LADY MARY MONTAGU AS “THIEVES OF LANGUAGE"
Authors: PEKŞEN YAKAR Azime
Published: December 2021

This paper explores the strategies of two eighteenth-century female poets to write and publish their poetry in an era when literature was dominated by male authors. In the eighteenth century, language and literature were considered male-dominated areas. For this reason, women had to face many obstacles to express themselves in literature and to be accepted as authors/poets. However, due to the critical shift from patronage to printing as a profit-making market, women’s writing displayed itself from almost non-existence. Still, the female authors/poets of the century such as Anne Finch and Lady Mary Montagu needed to fabricate various strategies to write, publish, and own the authorship of their own works. Thanks to those strategies, they were able to produce poems in the very language which was often associated with male authors and oppressed them. Hence, Anne Finch and Lady Mary Montagu can be defined as “thieves of language.” In this context, this paper analyzes Anne Finch’s “The Introduction” and Lady Mary Montagu’s “Verses Addressed to the Imitator of the First Satire of the Second Book of Horace” in the context of Neoclassical poetry by investigating how these two women poets generate different strategies to insert their own voice into the masculine literary tradition in the Augustan age. Finch’s “The Introduction” deals with her concerns on publishing her poems in the tradition that marginalizes and scorns women poets while Lady Montagu’s “Verses” strategically and severely attacks Alexander Pope, the leading figure of Neoclassical literature, by writing back in the same style as Pope.

Dil bir milletin simgesidir. Bu simgenin geçirdiği aşamalar bizlere milletlerin siyasi, ekonomik, kültürel ve sosyal alanları hakkında bilgi verir. Çeviri ise bu bilgilerin aktarılması için kullanılan bir bilim dalıdır. Bir Asya ülkesi dili olan Çince günümüzde öğrenilmesi en zor olarak görülen ve içerisinde yoğun olarak kültürünü de barındıran bir dildir. Çince günümüzde kullanılan basitleştirilmiş şeklini alana kadar tarihte pek çok sadeleştirme sürecinden geçmiştir. Ne yazık ki bu dilin modernleşmeye kadar uğradığı değişiklikler hem öğrenilmesini hem de çevrilmesini zorlaştırmıştır. Bu da Çin’in bilim çağına daha geç katılmasına neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı Çin dilinin tarihsel süreçteki değişikliklerinin dile yansımasını ele alıp, Çin çeviri tarihini genel olarak tanıtmaktır. Bu amaca uygun şekilde makalede China Academic Journals (CNKI) veri tabanı ve açık kaynaklardan elde edilen bilgiler kullanılarak uzun Çin tarihi içerisinde dilin değişimleri ve çevirinin rolü incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda ülke içinde dilin sadeleştirilmesi ile ilgili her dönemde yoğun çalışmalar yapıldığı gözlemlenmiştir. Buna ek olarak Çin çeviri tarihinin ise özellikle ve ağırlıklı olarak hükümet politikaları doğrultusunda şekillendiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Published: December 2021

The present study focus on the green synthesis and characterization of Imperata cylindrica silver nanoparticle and its efficiency against isolated bacterial contaminants from domestic waste water. 5% aqueous Imperata cylindrica extract (AEIC) was treated with 1 mM concentration of Silver Nitrate at 37 °C for silver nanoparticle synthesis. Domestic waste water treated with AEIC and AgNP’s of IC with different time durations (12, 24 and 48 hrs). Selective agar media’s is used for isolation of specific bacterial species. Surface Plasmon resonance occurred at 430 nm for 1 mM silver nitrate and AgNP’s are spherical and size ranges from 70–80 nm. As the incubation time proceeds after 12, 24 and 48 hours the number of colonies decreased in AEIC and AgNP treated samples. These results showed that AgNP’s of I.cylindrica treated sample has the good ability to inhibit E.coli, Salmonella, Phosphate solubilizing bacteria and Shigella in domestic sewage water when compared to AEIC in 48 hours.
A Census of the Circumstellar Disk Populations in the Sco-Cen Complex*
Authors: Luhman K. L.
Published: December 2021

I have used mid-infrared (IR) photometry from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) to perform a census of circumstellar disks among ∼10,000 candidate members of the Sco-Cen complex that were recently identified with data from the Gaia mission. IR excesses are detected for more than 1200 of the WISE counterparts that are within the commonly adopted boundary for Sco-Cen, ∼400 of which are newly reported in this work. The richest population in Sco-Cen, UCL/LCC, contains the largest available sample of disks (>500) for any population near its age (∼20 Myr). UCL/LCC also provides the tightest statistical constraints to date on the disk fractions of low-mass stars for any single age beyond that of Upper Sco (∼11 Myr). For Upper Sco and UCL/LCC, I have measured the disk fractions as a function of spectral type. The disk fraction in Upper Sco is higher at later spectral types, which is consistent with the results for previous samples of candidate members. In UCL/LCC, that trend has become more pronounced; the disk fractions in UCL/LCC are lower than those in Upper Sco by factors of ∼10, 5.7, and 2.5 at B7–K5.5, K6–M3.5, and M3.75–M6, respectively. The data in UCL/LCC also demonstrate that the disk fraction for low-mass stars remains nonnegligible at an age of 20 Myr (0.09 ± 0.01). Finally, I find no significant differences in the ages of disk-bearing and diskless low-mass stars in Upper Sco and UCL/LCC based on their positions in color–magnitude diagrams.
Proton Beam Abundance Variations and Their Relation to Alpha Particle Properties
Authors: Ďurovcová Tereza , Šafránková Jana , Němeček Zdeněk
Published: December 2021

Less abundant but still dynamically important solar wind components are the proton beam and alpha particles, which usually contribute similarly to the total ion momentum. The main characteristics of alpha particles are determined by the solar wind source region, but the origin of the proton beam and its properties are still not fully explained. We use the plasma data measured in situ on the path from 0.3 to 1 au (Helios 1 and 2) and focus on the proton beam development with an increasing radial distance as well as on the connection between the proton beam and alpha particle properties. We found that the proton beam relative abundance increases with increasing distance from the Sun in the collisionally young streams. Among the mechanisms suggested for beam creation, we have identified the wave–particle interactions with obliquely propagating Alfvén modes being consistent with observations. As the solar wind streams get collisionally older, the proton beam decay gradually dominates and the beam abundance is reduced. In search for responsible mechanisms, we found that the content of alpha particles is correlated with the proton beam abundance, and this effect is more pronounced in the fast solar wind streams during the solar maximum. We suggest that Coulomb collisions are the main agent leading to merging of the proton beam and core. We are also showing that the variations of the proton beam abundance are correlated with a decrease of the alpha particle velocity in order to maintain the total momentum balance in the solar wind frame.
Hydrodynamic Response of the Intergalactic Medium to Reionization. II. Physical Characteristics and Dynamics of Ionizing Photon Sinks
Authors: Nasir Fahad , Cain Christopher , D’Aloisio Anson , Gangolli Nakul , McQuinn Matthew
Published: December 2021

Becker et al. measured the mean free path of Lyman-limit photons in the intergalactic medium (IGM) at z = 6. The short value suggests that absorptions may have played a prominent role in reionization. Here we study physical properties of ionizing photon sinks in the wake of ionization fronts (I-fronts) using radiative hydrodynamic simulations. We quantify the contributions of gaseous structures to the Lyman-limit opacity by tracking the column-density distributions in our simulations. Within Δt = 10 Myr of I-front passage, we find that self-shielding systems (N
H I > 1017.2 cm−2) are comprised of two distinct populations: (1) overdensity Δ ∼ 50 structures in photoionization equilibrium with the ionizing background, and (2) Δ ≳ 100 density peaks with fully neutral cores. The self-shielding systems contribute more than half of the opacity at these times, but the IGM evolves considerably in Δt ∼ 100 Myr as structures are flattened by pressure smoothing and photoevaporation. By Δt = 300 Myr, they contribute ≲10% to the opacity in an average 1 Mpc3 patch of the universe. The percentage can be a factor of a few larger in overdense patches, where more self-shielding systems survive. We quantify the characteristic masses and sizes of self-shielding structures. Shortly after I-front passage, we find M = 104–108

Diastereoselective Formation of Trans-HC(O)SH through Hydrogenation of OCS on Interstellar Dust Grains
Authors: Molpeceres Germán , García de la Concepción Juan , Jiménez-Serra Izaskun
Published: December 2021

With the presence of evermore complex S-bearing molecules being detected lately, studies of their chemical formation routes need to keep up the pace to rationalize observations, suggest new candidates for detection, and provide input for chemical evolution models. In this paper, we theoretically characterize the hydrogenation channels of OCS on top of amorphous solid water (ASW) as an interstellar dust grain analog in molecular clouds. Our results show that the significant reaction outcome is trans-HC(O)SH, a recently detected prebiotic molecule toward G+0.693. The reaction is diastereoselective, explaining the apparent absence of the cis isomer in astronomical observations. We found that the reaction proceeds through a highly localized radical intermediate (cis-OCSH), which could be essential in the formation of other sulfur-bearing complex organic molecules due to its slow isomerization dynamics on top of ASW.

Published: December 2021

Electron beam measurement comparison between TrueBeam STx® and Clinac iX® established. Data evaluation of eMC-calculated and measured for TrueBeam STx® performed. Dosimetric parameters measured including depth dose curves for each applicator, percentage depth dose (PDDs) curves without applicator, the profile in-air for a large field size 40×40 cm2, and the Absolute Dose (cGy/MU) for each applicator using a large water phantom (PTW, Freiburg, Germany), employing Roos and Markus plane-parallel ionization chambers. The data were examined for five electron beams of Varian’s TrueBeam STx® and Clinac iX® machines. A comparison between measurement PDDs and calculated by the Eclipse electron Monte Carlo (eMC) algorithm was performed to validate Truebeam STx® commissioning. The measured data indicated that electron beam PDDs from the TrueBeam STx® machine are well matched to those from Clinac iX® machine. The quality index R50 for applicator 15×15 cm2 was in the tolerance intervals. However, Surface dose (Ds) increases with increasing energy for both accelerators. Comparisons between the measured and eMC-calculated values revealed that the R100, R90, R80, and R50 values mostly agree within 5 mm. Measured and calculated bremsstrahlung tail Rp correlates well statistically. Ds agrees mostly within 2%. Electron beams were successfully validated for TrueBeam STx®, a good agreement between modeled and measured data was observed.

Published: December 2021

Dans un contexte de forte concurrence et soucieuses de se différencier, les banques coopératives cherchent à mettre en avant leur modèle d’origine, dont l’un des principes est le contrôle démocratique par les membres. L’article étudie comment les sociétaires souhaiteraient aujourd’hui que la démocratie se construise dans les banques coopératives et quelles formes de participation répondraient à leurs attentes selon le type de démocratie auquel ils aspirent. L’enquête menée auprès de 859 sociétaires d’une banque française montre que les jeunes actifs et les agriculteurs, artisans, commerçants, chefs d’entreprise expriment des souhaits relevant d’une démocratie directe, leur offrant la possibilité de s’impliquer dans la stratégie, de participer à des comités et d’apporter leur expertise. La démocratie représentative répond aux attentes des plus âgés, satisfaits de déléguer aux administrateurs les décisions stratégiques et peu enclins à s’investir directement. Un troisième groupe attend que la démocratie dans leur banque s’exerce différemment selon les sujets : par leurs représentants pour les questions stratégiques et avec leur participation pour le contrôle. Eux aussi se disent prêts à contribuer à des comités ou des groupes de travail. Les résultats obtenus permettent de proposer une modélisation des attentes des sociétaires qui vient enrichir la littérature académique sur la démocratie dans les coopératives. Ils apportent aussi aux dirigeants des banques coopératives une meilleure connaissance des souhaits de leurs sociétaires en matière de démocratie. Ils montrent la nécessité d’adapter les formes de participation selon le profil des sociétaires et plus globalement de faire évoluer l’expression du modèle coopératif.
La gestion des ressources humaines dans une visée de transformation sociale : trois études de cas de coopératives d’activités et d’emploi
Authors: Ballon Justine , Boudes Mélissa
Published: December 2021

Dans un contexte de croissance du travail indépendant, les Coopératives d’Activités et d’Emploi (CAE) se singularisent par l’importance qu’elles accordent à l’autonomie dans le travail et la protection sociale de leurs membres, dans un cadre favorisant la coopération. Notre problématique questionne les expérimentations menées par les CAE en matière de gestion des ressources humaines (GRH) prenant en compte ces spécificités. Cette recherche s’appuie sur les résultats d’enquêtes qualitatives complémentaires menées auprès de trois CAE. Théoriquement, nous croisons deux champs de la littérature de la GRH : l’un consacré aux systèmes d’emplois atypiques dans le cadre des mutations à l’œuvre et, l’autre, traitant de sa déclinaison dans les organisations de l’économie sociale et solidaire (OESS). Nous proposons une première définition de la GRH des CAE à partir de la distinction de cinq fonctions auxquelles sont associés des outils de gestion caractéristiques des organisations qui s’inscrivent dans les zones grises de l’emploi et du travail et de l’identité coopérative de cette forme organisationnelle. Nous discutons des tensions qu’il en résulte selon quatre dimensions : l’autonomie dans et par le travail, la formation et les apprentissages, la coopération de production et la régulation de relations complexes. Sur le plan théorique, nous soulignons la nécessité de faire évoluer les outils conceptuels de la GRH pour considérer les formes d’emplois atypiques, qui plus est dans les OESS.

Authors: Bhate Manjushree , Deshmukh Ajinkya , Bothra Nandini , Kekunnaya Ramesh , Badakere Akshay , Sharma Abhimanyu
Published: December 2021

Purpose:

To evaluate the demographic details, clinical presentation, and surgical outcomes in patients presenting with strabismus following orbital wall fractures.

Methods:

A retrospective review was conducted over a 6-year period on 347 consecutive patients with strabismus who presented after orbital wall fractures. The patients were evaluated for their demographic data, clinical presentation, and profiles, management, complications, and outcomes of strabismus.

Results:

Strabismus following orbital wall fractures was noted in 347 patients: 87.03% were men (n = 302) and 12.97% were women (n = 45). Fracture of the orbital floor in isolation or in combination with other walls was more frequently noted in 72.3% of patients (n = 251). The resultant strabismus included paralytic, restrictive, or both etiologies. Exotropia was noted most frequently in 25.65% of patients (n = 89), followed by exotropia with hypotropia in 20.75% of patients (n = 72). Ten percent of patients with strabismus (n = 34), who were observed for at least 6 months after injury, underwent surgical correction for strabismus. Preoperative diplopia was observed in 79.41% of patients (n = 27) and persisted after strabismus surgery in 15% of patients (n = 6). A successful outcome regarding the postoperative angle of deviation of 10 prism diopters or less horizontal and/or 5 prism diopters or less of vertical deviation with elimination of diplopia was observed in 41.17% of patients.

Conclusions:

Strabismus following orbital wall fractures is complex and requires a tailored strategy. The current study found the orbital floor to be more frequently involved in orbital wall fractures. However, the resultant strabismus was a combination of paralytic and restrictive etiologies.

Scleral Perforation as a Complication of Strabismus Surgery: A Literature Review
Authors: Hashim Ibrahim , Al-Haddad Christiane
Published: December 2021

The aim of this review was to report the existing literature on the incidence, risk factors, treatment, and outcomes of scleral perforation as a vision-threatening complication of strabismus surgery. The current literature reported an incidence range of scleral perforation/penetration between 3 in 1,000 and 7.8%. Rectus muscle recession was the most commonly mentioned risk factor among the studies. Other risk factors were myopia, previous extraocular muscle surgery, surgeon experience, S-24 needle use, muscle reattachment posterior to the original insertion site, operating on a horizontal rectus muscle, and young age. Different views existed in the literature regarding scleral perforation management. Some ophthalmologists advocated management by cryopexy or indirect ophthalmoscopic laser uniformly, whereas others reserved it for more complicated cases. Antibiotic therapy for endophthalmitis prophylaxis was recommended by one study and shown to be practiced by some ophthalmologists.

Is YouTube a Useful Tool for Trainees in Pediatric Cataract Surgery?
Authors: Fouzdar Jain Samiksha , Eggleston Connor , Larson Scott A. , Suh Donny W.
Published: December 2021

Purpose:

To determine the utility of surgical videos published on YouTube (Google) as resources for trainee education in pediatric ophthalmology, the authors assessed the surgical proficiency, patient care, and video quality displayed in the published YouTube content.

Methods:

The 10 most highly viewed pediatric and congenital cataract procedural videos published within the past 10 years were independently reviewed by three separate board-certified, fellowship-trained, practicing pediatric ophthalmologists. Videos were assessed for surgical competency on a 5-point Likert scale in six key areas as outlined in the American Academy of Ophthalmology's congenital cataract surgery guidelines. The teaching quality of the videos was also subjectively assessed based on multiple measures.

Results:

The mean overall score was 3.93 ± 0.94 (range: 2.67 to 4.67). Only one video failed to receive an overall score of greater than 3, indicating incompetent overall surgical performance. No other video failed to have a mean competent score for any single individual technique. One video demonstrated potential patient safety concerns. Eighty percent of videos had adequate or better picture quality.

Conclusions:

Of the 10 most popular pediatric cataract surgical videos published on YouTube, all but one displayed competent overall surgical technique. Although viewers must always be wary because unvetted and potentially harmful videos may be published on the platform at any time, if used correctly, surgical content published on YouTube can be a helpful tool for ophthalmologic trainees.

Personalized Product Recommendation and User Satisfaction
Authors: Patnaik Priyadarsini
Published: December 2021

A recommendation system is a significant part of artificial intelligence (AI) to help users' access information at any time and from anywhere. Online product recommender systems are widely used to recommend products based on consumers' preferences. The traditional recommendation algorithms of recommendation engines do not meet the needs of users in the AI environment when exposed to large amounts of data resulting in a low recommendation efficiency. To address this, a personalized recommendation system was introduced. These personalized recommendation systems (PRS) are an important component for ecommerce players in the Indian e-commerce aspects. Since personalized recommendations are becoming increasingly popular, this study examines information processing theory with respect to personalized recommendations and their impact on user satisfaction. Further, relationships between the variables were examined by conducting regression analysis and found a positive correlation exists between personalized product recommendation and user satisfaction.

Application of Blockchain in E-Healthcare Systems
Authors: Ansari Aman Ahmad , Mishra Bharavi , Gera Poonam
Published: December 2021

The e-healthcare system maintains sensitive and private information about patients. In any e-healthcare system, exchanging health information is often required, making privacy and security a primary concern for e-healthcare systems. Another major issue is that existing e-healthcare systems use centralized servers. These centralized servers require high infrastructure and maintenance costs for day-to-day services. Along with that, server failure may affect the working of e-healthcare systems drastically and may create life-threatening situations for patients. Blockchain technology is a very useful way to provide decentralized, secure storage for healthcare information. A blockchain is a time-stamped series of immutable records of data that is managed by a cluster of computers not owned by any single entity. These blocks create a chain of immutable, tamper-proof blocks in a ledger. This chapter will discuss the different aspects of blockchain and its application in different fields of the e-healthcare system.

Diante disso, o objetivo desta investigação foi compreender o significado da permanência do recém-nascido pré-termo na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal a partir da vivência da alta hospitalar da mãe. Estudo fenomenológico, em que foram entrevistadas sete mães cujos filhos estavam internados na unidade neonatal de um hospital universitário, região sul do Brasil. A análise pelo método heideggeriano revelou que a mãe do recém-nascido pré-termo se mostra apavorada com o bebê pequeno e nascido antes do tempo; horrorizada com essa unidade; e, aterrorizada ao ter que ir para casa e o filho permanecer internado. Com isso, é necessário cuidar não apenas do recém-nascido internado, mas também da mãe, reconhecendo sua demanda emocional de cuidados e estabelecendo uma relação de confiança mãe-profissional, para que ela receba as orientações adequadas e o apoio necessário para ir para casa segura dos cuidados que o bebê recebe na unidade.

Objetivo: Identificar os fatores de risco para a ocorrência das úlceras plantares em pacientes com hanseníase. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, do tipo observacional, transversal e analítico. A população foi composta pelos casos de hanseníase notificados no período de 2005 a 2016. Para a análise univariada foram utilizados os testes Qui-quadrado de Pearson ou teste exato de Fisher e teste de Mann-Whitney, com significância estatística de 5% (p < 0,05). Na análise multivariada, foi elaborada árvore de decisão utilizando o algoritmo CHAID. Resultados: A forma clínica, grau de incapacidade física na alta, nervo acometido e o não uso de palmilhas ou calçado adaptado antes de surgir a úlcera são fatores de risco para a ocorrência de úlcera plantar. Conclusão: evidenciou a necessidade do diagnóstico precoce da hanseníase, como também da eficiente associação das intervenções medicamentosas e não medicamentosas por meio das técnicas de prevenção de incapacidade e uso de palmilhas acomodativas e/ou calçados especiais.

Authors: Vasconcelos Marilena Silva de , Barbosa Valquiria Farias Bezerra
Published: December 2021

Objetivo: Identificar o conhecimento dos gestores e profissionais de saúde de um município do sertão pernambucano sobre o apoio matricial em saúde mental. Métodos:Trata-se de um estudo descritivo,de abordagem qualitativa, realizado no período de outubro de 2017 a janeiro de 2018. Foram entrevistados dez  profissionais da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial municipal, por meio de um roteiro semiestruturado. A análise do conteúdo das entrevistas foi desenvolvida segundo o método de análise textual discursiva. Resultados: Evidenciaram-se lacunas de conhecimento sobre matriciamento e dificuldades para reconhecer as ações de saúde mental que devem ser desenvolvidas na Atenção Primária à Saúde. A formação acadêmica deficitária de gestores e profissionais de saúde influencia negativamente o seu conhecimento conceitual e a sua habilidade de implementar ferramentas de matriciamento em saúde mental. As principais dificuldades para matriciar foram a falta de participação dos profissionais, o estigma da pessoa portadora de transtorno mental, assim como limitações no dimensionamento de recursos humanos, carga horária de trabalho e infraestrutura dos serviços de saúde. Considerações finais:As ações de educação permanente são importantes recursos de superação dessas problemáticas, potencializando a expansão das práticas matriciais.

Participaram 45 acadêmicos de dez séries do Curso de Enfermagem,de uma Universidade Federal do Sul do Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e submetidos à análise temática. No que diz respeito aos aspectos éticos das pesquisas com seres humanos, os mesmos foram seguidos.Resultados: Os estudantes reconheceram a enfermagem como profissão do cuidado,de amor e compaixão,a qual propicia assistência integral ao ser humano. O enfermeiro atua em diferentes contextos,estando imbuídos de esclarecer sobre a prevenção de doenças e a promoção da saúde, lidando, entretanto, com as emoções e os sentimentos das pessoas que se encontram vulneráveis e que precisam de empatia, respeito e compreensão. Realiza ações administrativas, assistenciais e educativas. Apontaram como importante a autonomia profissional. A enfermagem é uma profissão, ainda, pouco reconhecida, bonita, essencial à sociedade e que impacta a vida das pessoas. Considerações Finais: As percepções acerca da profissão de enfermagem foram construídas por meio das vivências dos estudantes nos contextos em que são inseridos durante a Graduação, bem como da imagem dos profissionais enfermeiros com os quais convivem.

Published: December 2021

Objetivo: identificar o conhecimento de pacientes oncológicos em tratamento quimioterápico ambulatorial sobre os sinais e sintomas de emergência. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, qualitativo. Utilizaram-se dois instrumentos: um questionário de caracterização dos participantes e uma entrevista aberta. A análise do primeiro instrumento foi por estatística descritiva simples; o segundo por análise temática. Resultados: Os sintomas descritos pelos participantes foram: febre, náuseas, vômitos, constipação, incapacidade/dificuldade de ingestão alimentar, cefaleia, dor generalizada ou dor nos locais que remetem ao tumor, dispneia, vertigem, perda de consciência, perda da capacidade de andar, dor no peito e variações bruscas de nível de pressão sistêmica (aumento ou diminuição).Como condições que podem interferir na decisão da busca pelo serviço de emergência, foi identificada a manifestação de sintomas anormais para o paciente, o conhecimento do paciente sobre a patologia e tratamento, além da experiência prévia do paciente com o serviço de emergência. Conclusão: Em suma, os motivos que levam o paciente oncológico a buscar a emergência estão ligados à “gravidade” que o mesmo atribui aos efeitos do tratamento.

Published: December 2021

Objetivo: Analisar produções científicas sobre o uso das tecnologias móveis na prevenção e diagnóstico do pé diabético, bem como publicações que abordem o autocuidado com os pés em pessoas com diabetes mellitus. Métodos: Revisão integrativa realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e BDENF, em setembro de 2019, com uma amostra de seis artigos analisados na íntegra. Resultados: As publicações datam desde o ano 2015, todas na PubMed. Destacaram-se os estudos experimentais, totalizando três (50%) publicações. Com relação às tecnologias móveis voltadas para a prevenção e autocuidado, dois artigos foram encontrados, ambos usaram mensagens de texto por telefone celular para reforçar o aprendizado e a prática de cuidados com os pés dos diabéticos e trouxeram resultados satisfatórios. Quanto às tecnologias voltadas para o diagnóstico de úlceras nos pés, identificaram-se quatro artigos e, apesar de terem utilizado métodos diferentes, quase todos eram voltados para rastrear aumentos de temperatura na parte inferior dos pés, podendo servir como um sistema de alertapara a detecção precoce de úlceras nessa região. Conclusão: Apesar da escassez de estudos, o uso de tecnologias móveis voltadas para a prevenção e autocuidado com os pés em pessoas diabéticas e as voltadas para diagnóstico de úlceras nos pés, mostraram-se efetivas.
