Authors: Santos Natally Araújo Pereira dos , Silva Sidney Bruno Lima da , Mota Ana Beatriz Oliveira da , Estevam Matheus Henrique , Pinto Erika Simone Galvão , Souza Nilba Lima de
Published: November 2024

Abstract Objectives: to identify elements that influence and contribute to the social vulnerability experienced by women who gave birth on the streets, according to their perceptions. Method: a qualitative study using Thematic Oral History, developed in a shelter for homeless women. The population included mothers who gave birth on the streets. The interviews were processed in three phases, as recommended by Meihy and Ribeiro: transcription, textualization, and transcreation. The data were analyzed in light of the theory of thematic analysis proposed by Braun and Clarke. Results: the following thematic axes emerged from the interviewees’ discourses: Thematic Axis 1: Drug addiction as an escape from the reality they live in; Thematic Axis 2: Immersed in violence; Thematic Axis 3: The lack of health care; Thematic Axis 4: The rupture of family ties; Thematic Axis 5: Invisibility to society. Conclusion: women who experience pregnancies in the context of the streets are immersed in conditions that generate and/or enhance social vulnerability, which permeates the specific needs of the gestation process, the obstacles inherent to living on the streets, as well as the deprivation of rights.

Published: November 2024

Resumo Objetivos: analisar a distribuição espacial da mortalidade fetal e sua correlação com indicadores de saúde da mulher e de vulnerabilidade social na cidade de São Paulo, Brasil. Métodos: estudo ecológico dos distritos administrativos no período 2014-2021. Desfecho: taxa de óbito fetal; covariáveis: idade materna, cuidado pré-natal inadequado, Índice Paulista de Vulnerabilidade Social, taxas de óbito em mulheres em idade reprodutiva e de natalidade. Análises espaciais exploratórias incluíram taxas de mortalidade fetal brutas e Bayesianas. A autocorrelação espacial foi testada pelo índice de Moran e coeficientes de Geary e a identificação de áreas de risco pelo Índice de Moran Local e pelo diagrama de espalhamento de Moran. Correlações entre indicadores e mortalidade fetal foram obtidas pelo coeficiente de Lee. Resultados: foram identificados 39 distritos de baixo risco na região central como clusters de baixobaixo risco e 40 distritos como clusters de alto-alto risco, principalmente na região leste (p<0.05). Identificou-se que maior vulnerabilidade social, mães adolescentes e a mortalidade das mulheres em idade fértil estão correlacionadas com maiores taxas de mortalidade fetal (p<0.05). Conclusão: a análise identificou as áreas em que a maior vulnerabilidade social, maiores proporções de mães adolescentes e maiores taxas de mortalidade em mulheres em idade fértil estão correlacionadas com taxas mais elevadas de mortalidade fetal.

Abstract Objectives: the present study aims to carry out a cross-cultural adaptation of the Wijma Delivery Expectancy/Experience Questionnaire Version B (WDEQ-B) into Brazilian Portuguese and apply it to a sample of Brazilian postpartum women, evaluating the prevalence of Fear of Childbirth (FoC) and possible associated factors. Methods: we conducted a cross-sectional study encompassing a process of translation and back-translation of the instrument followed by a pretesting phase. Results: we performed a cross-cultural adaptation of the WDEQ-B, with reasonable match from the original instrument and broadly comprehensible by our sample. 57 postpartum women were included, at three public maternity hospitals, finding a severe FoC prevalence of 10.6%. In addition, analyzing FoC and disruption between desired and actual delivery, a prevalence ratio of 10.8 (CI95%=1.3-87.7, p=0.026), was found. Conclusion: the WDEQ-B was successfully adapted to the Brazilian Portuguese and showed to be a linguistic and culturally comprehensible research tool to analyze FoC among postpartum women in our population. Moreover, the study showed that disruption between desired and actual delivery mode might be associated with FoC occurrence.
Febre Oropouche e Gravidez
Authors: Souza Gabriela Albuquerque , Teti Eduardo Barros , Montenegro Marina Gouveia , Souza Alex Sandro Rolland
Published: November 2024

Resumo O vírus Oropouche (OROV), agente etiológico da febre Oropouche, está circulando em diversos países da América do Sul e América Central desde 1955. No Brasil, a doença passou muitos anos restrita à região Norte, porém, a partir de 2023 está sendo confirmada em quase todos os estados brasileiros. O objetivo desse artigo foi atualizar o estado da arte e alertar sobre o risco da transmissão vertical do OROV. O vírus é uma arbovirose transmitida, principalmente, pelo mosquito da espécie Culicoides paraenses, popularmente chamado de maruim ou mosquito-pólvora. Recentemente, foi observada a possibilidade de transmissão vertical da gestante para o feto, com relatos de casos confirmados de abortamento, morte fetal ou malformações congênitas como a microcefalia. Poucos são os estudos que sugerem a transmissão vertical do OROV, sendo necessárias pesquisas com um maior número de gestantes que comprovem essa associação. Porém, as evidências atuais, mesmo que sendo consideradas de nível fraco, são suficientes para sugerir que os profissionais da saúde e as gestantes estejam informadas dessa possibilidade e tentem prevenir o contato com o mosquito transmissor, além da necessidade de as autoridades de saúde combaterem os focos de reprodução.

Published: November 2024

Resumo A educação para a sustentabilidade (EpS) oportuniza o aprendizado de atitudes, perspectivas e valores sociais que conduzem a escolhas conscientes mais saudáveis. Nesse contexto, os espaços de educação formal possuem elevado potencial para promover a EpS de forma íntegra e permanente, mas enfrentam barreiras. Este trabalho visou identificar as potencialidades e as fragilidades das atividades do projeto Escola Sustentável e verificar sua aderência aos princípios e barreiras da EpS. A pesquisa-ação foi realizada em etapas de revisão sistemática; apresentação do estudo de caso do projeto realizado em escolas públicas em São José dos Campos (SP); Survey para identificação da percepção dos diferentes atores sociais participantes; e análise crítica com emprego de métodos estatísticos. Dentre os principais resultados destacam-se o envolvimento e a organização como potencialidades do projeto. E, como principais barreiras, a integração da sustentabilidade ao planejamento institucional, o tempo de instrução limitado e a fragmentação do currículo escolar.
Conhecimento ecológico local sobre a fauna de répteis e lagarto críptico em um Parque urbano na Mata Atlântica
Authors: Silva Holda Ramos da , Sales Raul Fernandes Dantas , Freire Eliza Maria Xavier
Published: November 2024

Resumo Áreas protegidas constituem estratégias importantes de conservação da biodiversidade, mas é um desafio mantê-las, especialmente em áreas urbanas. Em um Parque Urbano na Mata Atlântica, foi investigado o Conhecimento ecológico local (CEL) dos funcionários sobre a fauna de répteis e de espécies de lagartos crípticas de pequeno porte. Foram entrevistados 39 funcionários do Parque. Constatou-se que os funcionários detêm conhecimentos mais específicos sobre a flora local, e reconhecem a importância do Parque para conservação das espécies. Funcionários com maior tempo de trabalho no Parque possuem maior CEL sobre o lagarto críptico e ameaçado de extinção Coleodactylus natalensis. Esse fato, quando adicionado ao tamanho diminuto da espécie, e inexistência de valor cultural e utilitário para os funcionários, é de grande relevância, visto que não é o padrão observado em outros estudos de CEL. Este trabalho também evidencia as ameaças às quais parques urbanos estão submetidos.

Authors: Furtado Fabrina Pontes , Gibson Marina Lobo , Barros Junior Orlando Aleixo de , Torres Priscilla Papagiannis
Published: November 2024

Resumo O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar as políticas e projetos de Redução das Emissões por Desmatamento e Degradação Florestal (REDD+) no Brasil, em particular na Amazônia; os principais agentes envolvidos; e algumas implicações para o clima, as comunidades envolvidas e a nossa concepção sobre a problemática. Além da análise de documentos do governo brasileiro, de organizações empresariais, de certificadoras de projetos de REDD, o texto se baseia em trabalhos de campo realizados com comunidades afetadas por REDD e organizações de assessoria no Acre e no Pará. O trabalho é fundamentado nas categorias de modernização socioecológica, financeirização da natureza e ambientalização. Foram mapeados 111 projetos de REDD+ no Brasil e analisadas denúncias a respeito de 16 desses. Os resultados indicam que políticas baseadas na compensação florestal e no mercado de carbono não contribuem para reduzir o desmatamento, geram conflitos nos territórios e possibilitam uma intensificação do capitalismo extrativista na Amazônia.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to summarize the main findings of non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) in Turner syndrome (TS), correlating these biomolecules with the clinical manifestations in affected patients. Data source: Searches were conducted in the databases of the United States National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and ScienceDirect, covering original English articles published from 2014 to 2023. Descriptors used included "lncRNAs and Turner Syndrome," "miRNAs and Turner Syndrome," and "circRNAs and Turner Syndrome." The studies that were included addressed the role of ncRNAs in the clinical characteristics of patients with TS. Exclusion criteria comprised texts in abstracts, reports, reviews, and monographs. Data synthesis: We identified 147 studies, of which seven were included. In the analysis of microRNAs, miR-486-5p and miR-320a stood out, being associated with ovarian development; miR-126-3p and miR-126-5p were related to greater aortic stiffness. Regarding long non-coding RNAs, the downregulation of XIST indicated dysfunctions in X chromosome inactivation. Concerning circular RNAs, circPPP2R3B, circCSF2RA, and circPCTN were related to immunological functions, while circ_0090421, circ_0090392, and circ_0089945 were linked to cardiac development. Conclusions: The data from these studies demonstrate that these biomolecules play crucial roles in processes related to specific characteristics observed in TS patients. Besides being suggested as potential biomarkers, they may be useful in clinical practice.

Authors: Ribeiro Lucca Garcia Moreira , Souza Danton Matheus de , Treichel Carlos Alberto dos Santos , Fogaça Vanessa Dias , Rossato Lisabelle Mariano
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze suicide attempts in adolescents treated in the emergency department before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional, documentary, and retrospective study assessed the medical records of adolescents treated for suicide attempts in two emergency rooms linked to a teaching hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. Data were collected from the pre-pandemic period (between January 1, 2015, and March 10, 2020) and the pandemic period (between March 11, 2020, and May 5, 2023), characterizing the adolescents, risk factors for suicide attempts during the pandemic, and treatment. Data were subjected to descriptive and inferential analyses, including association tests and trend analysis, with a p-value of <0.05 considered statistically significant. The national ethical guidelines were followed. Results: Data on 140 suicide attempts were collected, of which 54 occurred during the pandemic. The trend in these cases remained stable (p>0.05). We observed an association between adolescents who had completed high school and cases during the pandemic, with a previous mental disorder diagnosis and pre-pandemic cases, and a higher number of suicide attempt notifications to the Brazilian epidemiological surveillance system during the pandemic period (p<0.05). Feelings of loneliness were the most prevalent risk factor during the pandemic. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic did not show an influence on the number of suicide attempt cases in adolescents. However, it was observed that the cases during this period were not related to previous mental disorder diagnoses, as seen in the pre-pandemic period, which may suggest that other risk factors were associated with suicide attempt cases during the pandemic.
Domestication of Amazonian landscapes
Authors: Clement Charles R. , Ferreira Maria Julia , Cassino Mariana Franco , Moraes Juliano Franco de
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT In the popular imagination, Amazonia is a natural biome, which denies the existence and agency of Indigenous Peoples who arrived at least 13,000 years ago. This essay will demonstrate that Amazonia is a web of socio-ecological interactions, as a result of the domestication of landscapes and populations of species. The practices involved in the domestication of landscapes are simple, yet based on deep knowledge, and respectful of non-humans. Indigenous Peoples combine horticulture and landscape domestication, as well as sedentary lifestyles and mobility. The Mebêngôkre (Kayapó) and Baniwa practice more horticulture, while the Nukak and Zo’é are more mobile, and the domestication of their landscapes reflects these differences. Domesticated forests produce as much food as swiddens and fallows, all leading to forest maintenance or regeneration. These practices suggest that national and global societies can learn to produce food in the standing forest, which would contribute to mitigating the effects of the Anthropocene.
Culinária da floresta - técnicas indígenas na produção alimentar amazônica
Authors: Santos Gilton Mendes dos , França Lorena
Published: November 2024

RESUMO Há uma grande diversidade de modos de processar e consumir as espécies vegetais pelos povos tradicionais da Amazônia, o que se desdobra em distintos modos de conhecer, produzir e promover a biodiversidade da floresta. A riqueza de técnicas, construída ao longo do tempo e conectada às formulações cosmológicas, foi e é empregada nas transformações de plantas de modo amplo, cultivadas ou não, domesticadas ou silvestres, da agricultura ou da coleta, nativas ou exóticas, da roça, da floresta ou da capoeira. Neste trabalho, apresentamos um recorte sobre três espécies vegetais - o açaí (Euterpe sp.), a batata mairá (Casimirella sp.) e o umari (Poraqueiba sp.) -, observando os modos de transformação técnica que permitem a obtenção de ingredientes fundamentais (a goma e a massa) ou a alteração dos estados da matéria vegetal (defumação, fermentação). A elaboração conceitual e prática dos povos indígenas sobre os frutos está expressa não apenas nos modos materiais de transformação, mas também nas cosmologias e nos ritos, como procuramos evidenciar na análise sobre o umari entre os povos tukano. Esse fruto cultivado e não cultivado, presente nas capoeiras e na floresta, e suas diversas formas de processamento nos ajudam a pensar como a técnica se apresenta como uma profícua ferramenta de dissolução de antinomias adotadas historicamente para falar da imbricada relação dos povos indígenas com a floresta amazônica. Assim compreendidos, como uma cosmotécnica, os modos de transformar os vegetais são um exemplo cabal de práticas antiantropocênicas, uma vez que sua orientação se assenta numa episteme indígena equiestatutária entre as espécies e outros sujeitos habitantes da Terra.
Tõkowiseri: kumuánica, bayaroánica and yaiwánica cosmovivences
Authors: Rezende Justino Sarmento
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT This article, written by an author from the Tuyuka people, presents a vision of the Ama-zon territory as a tõkowiseri - a ceremonial house that makes life bubble. This vision is based on the millenary understandings of the Kumuánica, Bayaroánica and Yawánica cosmovivences, that is, the specialists (Kumua, Baya and Yaiwa) who look after the cosmic levels and all their inhabitants. The indigenous peoples and the Amazon as a liv-ing being maintain a relationship of mutual respect and interdependence. The beings of the forest, land, water and air are like their grandparents, brothers-in-law, cousins, brothers and nephews. It’s a cosmic family that encompasses many beings in continuous connection. The specialists of the north-western Amazon, when faced with any action that is going to affect the inhabitants of another house (forest, water, air...), ask for per-mission by performing ritual ceremonies in order to obtain fruit, fish, game and to offer protection, tranquillity, understanding and favours for the ceremonial feast.

ABSTRACT This text speaks about important moments for the trajectory of my people, the Waiwai, who, along with various of our relatives, live in the Wayamu Territory. I narrate episodes that have significantly transformed these trajectories, for example contact with missionaries. Along with this, I discuss my discovery of archaeology and how it has allowed me to re-encounter important parts of our history. This re-encounter, or return, has led me reflect and speak on the necessity for an indigenous archaeology and about changing the narrative of the Amazonian past from what it has been.
Desmatamento restringe refúgios climáticos na Amazônia
Authors: Torres-Amaral Calil , Anjos Luciano Jorge Serejo dos , Souza Everaldo Barreiros de , Vieira Ima Célia Guimarães
Published: November 2024

RESUMO Refúgios climáticos são cruciais para a sobrevivência de diversas espécies em face das mudanças climáticas e do desmatamento. Na Amazônia, uma combinação de rápidas taxas de mudanças climáticas, extenso desmatamento e baixos níveis de tolerância climática faz que a migração para áreas com climas mais favoráveis seja uma estratégia vital. Neste estudo foram identificados e quantificados os macrorrefúgios climáticos na região entre 2000 e 2012. Descobriu-se que apenas 7,8% da Amazônia servem como refúgio, distribuídos especialmente nas bordas do bioma. Cerca de 70% são refúgios In Situ e 43% são Ex Situ. A maioria está em Áreas Protegidas, mas há lacunas em algumas ecorregiões. O desmatamento entre 2000 e 2012 resultou na perda de 1,2% dos refúgios. É urgente limitar essa perda e priorizar a proteção desses refúgios para garantir a adaptação da biodiversidade às mudanças climáticas.
Hans Jonas, um filósofo do nosso tempo
Authors: Oliveira Jelson
Published: November 2024

RESUMO Pretende-se neste artigo apresentar a atualidade do pensamento de Hans Jonas a partir dos três eixos que caracterizam as suas preocupações filosóficas: a gnose, a vida e a relação entre tecnologia e ética. Inicia-se por retomar o pensamento jonasiano no contexto do século XX e sua relação biográfica e filosófica com os principais acontecimentos desse tempo, especialmente no que diz respeito à crise niilista e ao avanço dos poderes tecnológicos. A seguir, analisa-se o início dos trabalhos com o tema da gnose, sob a influência de Heidegger e o crescente interesse pela vida, que o fez formular uma biologia filosófica, estabelecida como um complemento crítico às interpretações insuficientes e redutivas da biologia científica. Por fim, analisa-se como a tecnologia figura como um problema central na obra jonasiana, a partir do qual o filósofo elabora a sua proposta de uma ética baseada no princípio responsabilidade. Esses elementos evidenciam a importância do pensamento jonasiano e seu proveito para o enfrentamento de problemas que são nossos, 120 anos depois de seu nascimento.

Published: November 2024

Resumo A presente investigação objetivou discutir o conhecimento sobre a infecção pelo Papilomavírus Humano (HPV) e suas Representações Sociais (RSs) segundo graduandas em Enfermagem. O estudo de caráter qualitativo, com suporte teórico-metodológico na abordagem processual da Teoria das Representações Sociais, foi realizado em uma instituição de ensino superior pública, carioca, com 30 estudantes do curso de Enfermagem, sexualmente ativas. Para isso, coletaram-se dados de caracterização e procedeu-se à entrevista individual em profundidade entre março-agosto/2020 e à análise de conteúdo temático-categorial. O grupo social era predominantemente de heterossexuais; com companheiro; idade 21-24 anos; residiam com os pais e eram católicas; 20% afirmaram já terem tido IST e destas, 10% mencionaram o HPV. A categoria “Conhecimento das graduandas sobre a infecção por HPV” foi constituída por 23% do total das Unidades de Registro (URs), sendo 502 URs e nove temas, emergindo as subcategorias: 1- Conhecimento das graduandas sobre o HPV; 2- Manifestações clínicas e consequências da infecção pelo HPV e 3- Aspectos associados à infecção pelo HPV. O conhecimento de graduandas de enfermagem acerca da infecção pelo HPV e as RSs atribuídas por elas denotam que estas guardam nexo com o conhecimento acadêmico, característico do processo de formação de profissionais da área de saúde, mas também com o contexto sociocultural e de gênero.
Consequences of gender violence on the health of undergraduate students: a case study on abusive intimate relationships
Authors: Oliveira Yanco Paternó de , Araujo Andreia da Fonseca , Riboldi Junior Oswaldo , Frugoli Rosa
Published: November 2024

Abstract This article deals with violence against women by intimate partners, limited to participants attending undergraduate courses at universities in ABCD Paulista and who have experienced this type of violation. Violence against women, demarcated by gender asymmetries, is a public health issue as it is an explicit violation of human rights. Given the seriousness of the issue, this study aimed to analyze how violence against women is expressed in the lives of undergraduate students and its consequences in their lives. The qualitative method used four case studies with semi-structured interviews. Thematic Analysis treated the collected data, emerging two themes with groups of main meanings: types of violence and consequences on the lives of undergraduate women. From these analyses, physical, psychological, and sexual violence often co-occurred with health consequences, especially mental, accentuating problems such as depression and panic, disqualification of self-image, and abrupt change in weight. It was concluded that: a) even undergraduate students with access to information and criticism about unsatisfactory intimate relationships, experience intimate violence affecting their lives; b) although the issue of violence against women has gained notoriety, one must reflect and act to guarantee them basic rights, in any social space.

Authors: Elmacı Ahmet Midhat
Published: November 2024

Aim: The use of antibiotic prophylaxis in the conservative treatment of vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) has a long historical precedent. In this study, we investigated the long-term efficacy of amoxicillin as antibiotic prophylaxis.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective investigation was conducted to examine the clinical characteristics and follow-up results of patients with VUR who received amoxicillin prophylaxis for at least of six months.
Results: A total of 44 patients were included in the study, comprising 13 girls (29.5%) and 31 boys (70.5%), with a mean age of 2.9±1.3 months. During a mean follow-up period of 27.4±19.4 months, nine patients (20.5%) experienced one urinary tract infection (UTI), while two patients (4.5%) had a febrile UTI. Antibiotic revision was performed in a total of four patients (9%), including two patients with a febrile UTI and two patients with gastrointestinal side effects.
Conclusion: The long-term follow-up of patients with VUR who have been treated with amoxicillin prophylaxis has demonstrated that this is an effective and safe treatment option.
EVALUATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IRON LOAD, AGE, AND CARDIAC FUNCTION IN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS WITH THALASSEMIA MAJOR: A PULSED-WAVE DOPPLER AND TISSUE DOPPLER IMAGING STUDY
Authors: Altın Hakan , Kazancı Elif Güler , Bekirçavuşoğlu Ayşe Füsun
Published: November 2024

Objective: To determine the structural and functional cardiac differences in children and young adults with thalassemia major (TM) compared to healthy subjects using pulsed-wave Doppler and tissue Doppler imaging methods and determine the relationship between iron overload and these differences.
Materials and Methods: We analyzed the data of pediatric and young adult TM patients (n = 44) aged 4–22 years and an age- and gender-matched control group (n = 40) in our hospital data system between Oct.01.2023 and Oct.01.2024. Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), systolic–diastolic blood pressure measurements, complete blood count, ferritin, cardiac T2* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) values, and echocardiography results were recorded. In addition to comparisons between the two groups, correlation analysis was performed between ferritin–cardiac T2* MRI results and echocardiographic parameters and age in TM patients.
Results: Our study showed growth retardation (low height standard deviation score (SDS), low weight SDS and low BMI SDS), dilatation of the left cavities (high left ventricular internal diameter end diastole (LVIDd)), increased left ventricular muscle mass (high left ventricular mass index (LVMI)), cardiac distinctive diastolic (restrictive pattern: left ventricular (LV) peak early diastolic flow (E)/peak late diastolic flow (A) and E/early diastolic myocardial peak flow (E') high), and subclinical systolic (LV peak systolic flow low and LV Tei index high) dysfunction. In addition, iron load (ferritin and cardiac T2* MRI) was correlated with LVMI, and cardiac diastolic and systolic function indicators. As age increased, ferritin value did not change, but cardiac T2* MRI value decreased and diastolic–systolic parameters worsened.
Conclusion: Periodic cardiac T2* MRI and Doppler echocardiography examinations of patients with TM may detect subclinical myocardial dysfunction at an early stage, thus providing a window of opportunity for intervention.

Transparency and Audience Participation: A View From Media Directors and Editors in Chile
Authors: Hormazábal Constanza
Published: November 2024

Today, audiences have different platforms to debate about journalism, in which media accountability begins with citizens publicly assessing it. Transparency becomes relevant as a normative construct that is linked to social responsibility and journalism’s social validation. Instruments for audience participation have been established to show and explain the norms and values that underpin journalistic coverage.Audience participation plays a key role in the process of media accountability in listening and giving voice to citizens. However, it has implications in the context of transparency, immediacy, global access, and interactivity, presenting significant challenges for the media in fulfilling their accountability to the public.This research seeks to show, from the standpoint of media directors and editors in Chile, how they perceive media accountability instruments in order to describe and characterize transparency as well as audience participation in the country. Based on an exploratory study of qualitative methodology, 11 semi-structured interviews were conducted with directors from television, newspaper, radio, and digital media.These issues have been little explored as objects of study in Chile, and there is limited research in this field, coinciding with a decline in citizens’ trust in the media. For this reason, investigating and analyzing the instruments of transparency and audience participation within the framework of media accountability can open new perspectives of analysis to understand the current situation of the media in Chile and its relationship with audiences.

Authors: Wang Dian , Li Yongxin , Wang Li
Published: November 2024

Closed pelvic fractures can lead to severe complications, including hemodynamic instability (HI) and mortality. Accurate prediction of these risks is crucial for effective clinical management. This study aimed to utilize various machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict HI and death in patients with closed pelvic fractures and identify relevant risk factors. The retrospective study included 208 patients diagnosed with pelvic fractures and admitted to Suning Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital between 2019 and 2023. Among these, 133 cases were identified as closed PFs. Patients with closed fractures were divided into a training set (n = 115) and a test set (n = 18). The training set was further stratified into two groups based on hemodynamic stability: Group A (patients with HI) and Group B (patients with hemodynamic stability). A total of 40 clinical variables were collected, and multiple machine learning algorithms were employed to develop predictive models, including logistic regression (LR), C5.0 Decision Tree (DT), Naive Bayes (NB), support vector machine (SVM), K-nearest neighbors (KNN), random Forest (RF), and artificial neural network (ANN). Additionally, factor analysis was performed to assess the interrelationships between variables. The RF and LR algorithms outperformed traditional methods—such as central venous pressure (CVP) and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) measurements—in predicting HI. The RF model achieved an average under the ROC (AUC) of 0.92, with an accuracy of 0.86, precision of 0.81, and an F1 score of 0.87. The LR model had an average AUC of 0.82 but shared the same accuracy, precision, and F1 score as the RF model. Key risk factors identified included TILE grade, heart rate (HR), creatinine (CR), white blood cell count (WBC), fibrinogen (FIB), and lactic acid (LAC), with LAC levels >3.7 and an injury severity score (ISS) >13 as significant predictors of HI and mortality. In conclusion, the RF and LR algorithms are effective in predicting HI and mortality risk in patients with closed PFs, enhancing clinical decision-making and improving patient outcomes.

Objective: The main objective of this paper is to define and collect a new type of rectangle called the Exponential Diophantine Rectangle over Gnomonic numbers (figurate numbers that take the form 𝑛2 − (𝑛 − 1)2, 𝑛 ∈ 𝑁). Methods: It is done by solving the two exponential Diophantine equations using Mihailescu’s theorem, binomial expansion, and the basic theory of congruences. Findings: Here, it is proven that there are only four exponential Diophantine rectangles over Gnomonic numbers. Finally, it is validated using Python programming for a specific limit. Novelty: The concept of solving an exponential Diophantine equation, as well as creating rectangles under certain conditions using Diophantine equations, is already known in mathematics. But in this article, we connect the shapes and Diophantine equation which is known as Exponential Diophantine rectangles over Gnomonic numbers. 2020 MSC Classification: 11A07, 11D61, 11D72.

Grover controlled-diffuser (CUs) for quantum Boolean oracles of Grover’s algorithm v1
Authors: Al-Bayaty Ali , Perkowski Marek
Published: November 2024

The Grover controlled-diffuser (CUs) for quantum Boolean oracles (Uω) is introduced as a new approach for Grover’s algorithm [1-3], to search for all solutions for arbitrary logical structures of such oracles, since the standard Grover diffuser (Us) is not able to find all correct solutions for some logical structures of Uω. This protocol constructs the quantum circuit of the CUs operator [4] of Grover's algorithm, which relies on the states of the output qubit (as the reflection of Boolean decisions from a Uω) without relying on the conventional phase kickback mechanism. The CUs operator successfully searches for all correct solutions for all Uω regardless of their different logical structures, such as POS, SOP, ESOP, CSP-SAT, XOR-SAT, just to name a few.

The scarcity of natural sand in wall construction poses a significant challenge, prompting a novel solution in this study: wall panels using Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) and perlite. The lack of existing literature on such panels underscores the study’s importance. Panels of varying thicknesses (75 mm, 100 mm, and 125 mm) are prepared with a 1:4 concrete mix, with the aggregate portion consisting of 40% sand, 40% RCA, and 20% perlite. For control purposes, additional wall panels are prepared using natural sand as the aggregate. Subsequently, all panels undergo compressive tests to evaluate their structural performance, including crack analysis. Comprehensive analyses, encompassing load, stress, and strain, yield Young’s Modulus and Poisson’s Ratio. Strain gauges and acoustic emissions enhance data precision. Maximum loads of 936.51 kN are observed on 125 mm panels. Findings reveal variations in compressive strength, with control panels surpassing the proposed ones. Wall panel thickness proves pivotal, influencing both strength and crack visibility. Notably, the 100 mm panel performs optimally, displaying minimal percentage differences in compressive strength compared to the control. This research offers invaluable insights into alternative aggregate-infused wall panels’ structural behaviour, enriched by verification through an AE analysis.

The connection between two wall panels is the weakest part of the wall system and becomes the crucial point of failure. This paper presents the behaviour of two proposed types of wall-to-wall connections subjected to uniformly distributed load until failure, dapped wet and lightly vertically reinforced dapped wet connections. A total of twelve wall panels were prepared and constructed as six wall-to-wall connections, with three connections for each type. The acoustic emission (AE), maximum load (Pmax), strain and deflection characteristics were analysed and discussed to determine the behaviour of each wall-to-wall connection. The occurrence of cracks on the walls during the tests was also observed. The results showed that the Pmax for the wet and lightly vertically reinforced wall-to-wall connections of dapped concrete were 164.37 kN and 138.44 kN, respectively. From the distribution of AE, the highest energy was determined for the lightly vertically reinforced wall-to-wall connection, at 18000 eu. From the AE activity mapped on the crack pattern, it was observed that most AE activities occurred at the top of the wall, which corresponded strongly with the occurrence of cracks at the wall connection surface. Vertical cracks occurred in the connection areas, propagating from the top to the bottom. The major benefit of this study is the proposal for a new type of vertical wall-to-wall connection that can be used in prefabricated wall panel systems in industrialised building systems.

Microbial Electrochemical Sensor (MES) is classified as a self-powered electrochemical biosensor and utilising biofilm electrode used as a sensor. Conventional techniques such as ion chromatography (IC), highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and chemical oxygen demand (COD) require large, expensive, and non-portable equipment. Therefore, MES has gained significant attention due to its advantages, including low cost, easy operation, and portability. Stainless steel (SS404L) is widely used in various applications but exhibits lower biocompatibility compared to carbon-based materials when used as an anode. This MES is constructed using modified electrodes through techniques such as carbon coating, electrochemical reduction, flame oxidation, and graphene coating. A nutrient medium stock is periodically supplied daily to enrich the electroactive microbes and maintain the biosensor’s performance at a stable level. Samples are collected and analyzed during pollutant testing to determine pH, conductivity, IC, and COD values. These parameter values are correlated with MES signal data to assess each biosensor’s performance in terms of reaction rate. FESEM-EDX and RAMAN analysis indicated an increase in O content from 2.4% to 19.9% for flame oxidation. For carbon and graphene coatings, carbon content increased from 4.1-9.1% to 48.4-78.6%. The carbon coating exhibited an R² value of 0.7023 for tests using 4-nitrophenol. Meanwhile, for potassium nitrate, the graphene coating demonstrated the highest R² value of 0.8785. A higher R² value indicates a stronger correlation and suggests better performance in electrode modification within MES. This highlights the significance of MES results in water quality monitoring, which can be understood and applied more effectively.
