Published: October 2021

AIM: The purpose of the study was to evaluate patient’s oral health related quality of life using oral health impact profile (OHIP14) in rigid and non-rigid telescopic two-implant supported mandibular overdenture patients.

METHODS: Twelve completely edentulous patients received two mandibular interforaminal implants to retain telescopic overdenture opposed by maxillary complete denture. Group I (six patients) had rigid telescopic connection and Group II (six patients) received non-rigid telescopic attachments. OHIP14 questionnaire was translated in Arabic and orally asked the patients, answers were collected soon after denture insertion and use (within 1 week), 6 and 12 months after using the overdenture to assess patient’s quality of life.

RESULTS: There was no statistical significant difference regarding quality of life using OHIP14 questionnair between the two groups.

CONCLUSION: Telescopic two-implant mandibular overdenture showed high quality of life, great satisfaction, and acceptance among patients; regardless to the type of attachments rigid or non-rigid.

Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) has emerged as a rapidly rising public health problem mostly affecting children and adolescent worldwide, as a result of massive growth of technology and internet usage in recent years. Adolescents are the most vulnerable age group to problematic internet gaming use due to lack of cognitive control.

AIM: This study aims to investigate the association between IGD and cognitive function among junior high school- students in Indonesia.

METHODS: The subjects of this cross-sectional study were students at two randomly selected junior high schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The Game Addiction Scale-7 Indonesian version and the Modified Mini Mental State Examination for Children-Indonesian version were used to assess IGD and cognitive function, respectively. Multivariate analysis with linear regression was used to determine the relationship between IGD and cognitive function.

RESULTS: There were 142 subjects with a mean age of 14 years. Students with IGD significantly had lower score of cognitive function, particularly for domains of attention (p = 0.000), recall memory (p = 0.000), and language (p = 0.002), compared with the counterpart group. Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed that students with IGD were more likely to have lower cognitive function score by 1.40 points than those without IGD (B = –1.40, 95% CI -2.51–-0.29, R2 = 0.469).

CONCLUSIONS: IGD was negatively associated with cognitive function. Junior high school students with IGD in Indonesia had lower score of cognitive function compared with students without IGD, particularly in the domains of attention, recall memory, and language. Clinicians, teachers, and parents should be more aware of the detrimental effect of IGD. Further study with larger sample size, diverse subjects, and wider age range is still needed.

Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: The increasing of diabetes mellitus cases in Indonesia may be due to changes in people’s lifestyles, which is lack of exercise. Factors that may contribute to the high prevalence of diabetes mellitus sufferers other than genetics are exacerbated by environmental factors. Exercise interventions have been effective in counterbalancing diabetes complications. Yoga exerts a beneficial effect on insulin kinetics and the resulting lipid profile. Yoga helps redistribute body fat and reduces obesity which may lead to insulin resistance. In addition, other types of physical activity that can be done by diabetes mellitus patients are adequate morning walking while having scenery leisure for 30 min or more.

AIM: This study was conducted to determine the effect of yoga therapy and walking therapy on diabetes mellitus patients in the community.

METHODS: Quantitative research using randomized control trial, conducted in Gedongan Village, Baki Subdistrict, Sukoharjo Regency, involving 54 samples divided into three groups. Inclusion criteria: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, fasting glucose levels of 126 mg/dl, no complication, and no insulin therapy or diabetes medication. The outcome measured was fasting blood sugar levels. The intervention group performed therapy for 12 weeks with a duration of 3 times a week.

RESULTS: The average fasting sugar levels in the yoga group pre (217.00) post (187.72) p (0.001), the walking group averaged pre (209.89) post (193.83) p (0.001), and the control group averaged pre (221.50) post (225.17) p (0.067).

CONCLUSION: There was an effect of yoga therapy and walking therapy on reducing fasting glucose levels.

Authors: Wicaksana Anggi Lukman , Maharani Erika , Chen Hsing-Mei
Published: October 2021

BACKGROUND: Engagement in health-promoting behaviors (HPB) among patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is important, particularly for the high-and-very-high-risk group. However, information concerning HPB and risk of cardiovascular events among patients with CVD is limited.

AIM: This study aimed to explore HPB and risk of cardiovascular events among patients with CVD.

METHODS: A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted among adults with confirmed CVD (n = 167) using multistage cluster sampling. Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile 2 and World Health Organization/International Society of Hypertension Risk Prediction Chart were used for measuring HPB and cardiovascular risk levels. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation, one-way ANOVA and multiple linear regression tests.

RESULTS: Women, marriage, low income, and hypertension dominated with 60 years as mean age. Among the subscales of HPB, interpersonal relationship had the highest score while physical activity in the poorest score and almost half of the respondents had a low-risk of cardiovascular events. There was a significant correlation between the nutrition subscale and cardiovascular risk levels and it showed significant difference between low-and high/ very- high-risk groups of cardiovascular events. Although the risk of cardiovascular events did not demonstrate prediction of HPB, age (β _= 0.250; CI = 0.001–0.013), educational level (β _= 0.200; CI = 0.005–0.107), presence of diabetes (β _= 0.183; CI = 0.013–0.286), and smoking (β _= –0.195; CI = –0.372–[–0.005]) explained 20.7% of the HPB variance.

CONCLUSION: Therefore, the authorities of stakeholders need to consider that a tailor-made health-promoting program should be proposed particularly to increase physical activity and promotes healthy nutrition among patients with CVD. Furthermore, considering special needs among patients with CVD are crucial to support them within their cultural perspective.
Distribution of alpine endemic plants of northern Asia: a dataset
Authors: Brianskaia Elena , Sandanov Denis , Li Yichao , Wang Zhiheng
Published: October 2021

We describe a dataset providing information on the geographic distribution of northern Asian endemic alpine plants. It was obtained by digitising maps from the atlas “Endemic alpine plants of Northern Asia”. Northern Asia includes numerous mountain ranges which may have served as refugia during the Pleistocene ice ages, but there have been no studies that analysed this question. We suggest that this dataset can be applied for better understanding of the alpine endemism in northern Asia.

The dataset includes 13709 species distribution records, representing 211 species from 31 families and 106 genera. Each record provides data regarding the distribution of an individual species. These data provide a foundation for studying northern Asia's endemic alpine species and conducting research on the factors concerning their distribution.

Published: October 2021

Anatomical variants of pulmonary venous drainage in the left atrium are often found. Divergent results have been reported on the impact of variant anatomy on atrial ﬁ brillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation. We aimed to study the frequency of different anatomical variants of pulmonary venous drainage and their relationship with documented recurrences of AF after ablation. Material and methods: A retrospective study of patients with AF in whom radiofrequency pulmonary vein isolation was done after previously performed cardiac contrast-enhanced multidetector computed tomography. Clinical and procedural characteristics, type and frequency of anatomical variants of the veno-atrial junction and their association with AF recurrences were studied. Results: One hundred seventy-seven patients (112 men, 63.3%) with AF were studied, of which 148 (83.6%) with paroxysmal AF. Variant anatomy was found in 91 patients (51.4%). In 20.9% there was a common left trunk, in 23.2% – more or less than two right-sided veins, and in 7.3% – variations for both right and left veins. No differences in clinical and procedural characteristics were found between the groups with normal and variant anatomy. Recurrences of AF and their association with pulmonary venous anatomy were studied in 104 patients with follow-up ≥ 3 months. No signiﬁ cant relation was found between the presence of variant anatomy and AF recurrences within the blinding period after ablation, OR = 0.864, 95% CI = 0.397 – 1.88, p = 0.843, nor afterwards, OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 0.5 – 2.5, p = 0.839. Cox regression analysis showed no differences in AF recurrence-free survival regardless of the anatomical variant of pulmonary venous drainage, HR = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.58 – 2.05, p = 0.779. Conclusion: In this local population of patients with AF, the incidence of variant pulmonary venous drainage is just over 50%. No association was found between variant anatomy and the rate of AF recurrences after ﬁ rst pulmonary vein isolation.

Barriers to Effective Implementation of Programs for the Prevention of Workplace Violence in Hospitals
Authors: Blando James , Ridenour Marilyn , Hartley Daniel , Casteel Carri
Published: October 2021

Effective workplace violence (WPV) prevention programs are essential, yet challenging to implement in healthcare. The aim of this study was to identify major barriers to implementation of effective violence prevention programs. After reviewing the related literature, the authors describe their research methods and analysis and report the following seven themes as major barriers to effective implementation of workplace violence programs: a lack of action despite reporting; varying perceptions of violence; bullying; profit-driven management models; lack of management accountability; a focus on customer service; and weak social service and law enforcement approaches to mentally ill patients. The authors discuss their findings in light of previous studies and experiences and offer suggestions for decreasing WPV in healthcare settings. They conclude that although many of these challenges to effective implementation of workplace violence programs are both within the program itself and relate to broader industry and societal issues, creative innovations can address these issues and improve WPV prevention programs.
Les politiques publiques peuvent-elles lutter contre la sous-nutrition des enfants ? Application au Sénégal
Authors: Berenger Valérie , Vérez Jean-Claude
Published: October 2021

Le Sénégal est confronté à de nombreux défis du développement humain, dont la sous-nutrition des enfants en âge préscolaire. Sur la base des données sénégalaises issues de l'Enquête démographique et de santé de 2005 et de 2015, nous recourons aux modèles de régressions logistiques multiniveaux afin d’identifier les déterminants individuels et contextuels du risque de sous-nutrition chronique des enfants de moins de cinq ans. Nos résultats montrent les interactions entre les caractéristiques propres aux ménages (le statut-socioéconomique du ménage ou l’éducation de la mère) et les facteurs contextuels (la disponibilité de services de base). La prise en compte de ces interactions permet de mieux cibler les politiques publiques. Classification JEL : C3, F63, J13, O55
Dynamics and pattern formation in a cross-diffusion model with stage structure for predators
Authors: Xu Hongfei , Wang Jinfeng , Xu Xuelian
Published: October 2021

This paper is concerned with a predator-prey model with stage structure for the predator, with a cross-diffusion term modeling the effect that mature predators move toward the direction of gradient of prey. It is first shown that the corresponding Neumann initial-boundary value problem in an \begin{document}$ n $\end{document}-dimensional bounded smooth domain possesses a unique global classical solution which is uniformly-in-time bounded for the weak cross-diffusion. It is further shown that, in the presence of cross-diffusion, the model admits threshold-type dynamics in terms of the cross-diffusion coefficient; that is, the homogenous steady state keeps stability for weak attractive prey-taxis, while the stationary patterns will occur for strong attractive prey-taxis. This implies that such cross diffusion does contribute to the rich dynamics of predator-prey model with stage structure for predators.
Self adaptive inertial relaxed $ CQ $ algorithms for solving split feasibility problem with multiple output sets
Authors: Taddele Guash Haile , Kumam Poom , Rehman Habib ur , Gebrie Anteneh Getachew
Published: October 2021

In this paper, we propose two new self-adaptive inertial relaxed \begin{document}$ CQ $\end{document} algorithms for solving the split feasibility problem with multiple output sets in the framework of real Hilbert spaces. The proposed algorithms involve computing projections onto half-spaces instead of onto the closed convex sets, and the advantage of the self-adaptive step size introduced in our algorithms is that it does not require the computation of operator norm. We establish and prove weak and strong convergence theorems for the iterative sequences generated by the introduced algorithms for solving the aforementioned problem. Moreover, we apply the new results to solve some other problems. Finally, we present some numerical examples to illustrate the implementation of our algorithms and compared them to some existing results.

Published: October 2021

In this paper, by using the mountain pass lemma and the skill of truncation function, we investigate the existence and concentration phenomenon of nontrivial weak solutions for a class of elastic beam differential equation with two parameters $ \lambda $ and $ \mu $ when the nonlinear term satisfies some growth conditions only near the origin. In particular, we obtain a concrete lower bound of the parameter $ \lambda $, and analyze the relationship between $ \lambda $ and $ \mu $. In the end, we investigate the concentration phenomenon of solutions when $ \mu\to 0 $, and obtain a specific lower bound of the parameter $ \lambda $ which is independent of $ \mu $.

Based on the mechanism of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia treatment methods (light, exchange blood and drugs), three types of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia treatment mathematical models are established, and the expressions of the model solutions are given in this paper. By applying clinical test data and numerical approximation algorithm, the relevant parameters in the model can be estimated. According to the standards of "Expert Consensus", two treatment plans are designed, which are 1) the combined transfusion and phototherapy treatment plan and 2) the combined treatment plan of drugs, transfusion and phototherapy. The results of the program operation are numerically simulated and compared with the treatment data of clinical cases. It is found that the coincidence effect is important, which verified the rationality of the model. The model results can track and predict the changes of bilirubin levels in real-time, which provides a theoretical basis for the clinical design of treatment plans.
Negros de papel: Algunas apariciones del negro en la narrativa cubana después de 1959
Authors: Casamayor-Cisneros Odette
Published: October 2021

Desde fines de los 1960 hasta bien entrados los 1980, toda discusión importante sobre la cuestión racial ha sido evitada en Cuba; el gobierno esgrimiendo el argumento de la cohesión nacional necesaria especialmente durante los primeros años de la revolución, cuando el país era en efecto atacado por las fuerzas que buscaban el derrocamiento del régimen encabezado por Fidel Castro. Se argumentaba entonces que en la isla no existían ya ni cubanos negros ni cubanos blancos, solamente cubanos revolucionarios. La diferenciación racial es de la suerte considerada anacrónica, expresión del contraste entre el pasado y el presente. En correspondencia a esta situación, dos tipos de negros proliferarían entonces en las letras cubanas: el negro alienado de antes de 1959, explotado y marcado por todos los males del capitalismo, y el “negro nuevo”, fabricado dentro del socialismo. Estas y otras figuras míticas más recientes, serán estudiadas en este artículo. Pero tanto las antiguas como las nuevas figuras, son incapaces de expresar abiertamente la enmudecida vivencia, la condición negra portada siglo tras siglo en las Américas. Lo inexplicable, lo huidizo, la herencia de la esclavitud impregnada en la piel. Incomprensible oscuridad negra.

Authors: Okonji C.J. , Awolu O.T.
Published: October 2021

This study was conducted to investigate the factors determining the adoption of improved maize technologies among farmers in Ekiti State, Nigeria. A two-stage sampling technique was used in selecting the respondents for the study. Primary data were collected with the use of a semi-structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and regression model were used for the analysis. The majority of maize producers in the study area were married, fairly educated and of middle age. The results further showed that the maize farmers were faced with a series of problems such as inadequate credit, bad road network, high-interest rate and lack of collateral. Meanwhile, the adoption of improved maize technology by the farmers was significantly influenced by the use of manure, appropriate planting techniques, use of herbicide, extension visit, and educational status of the farmers. To boost maize production in the study area, the study recommends the provision of single digit loan interest and with facilities, subsidies on farm inputs, construction of roads to production areas, provision of improved maize seeds while farmers should collect a certificate of occupancy on their farmlands to enhance the chances of increasing their access to credit facilities.

Published: October 2021

Tomato paste is fast becoming first choice for many homes in cooking while meeting up with their busy  schedules in a cosmopolitan city like Lagos State, Nigeria. The study was aimed at evaluating the antioxidant contents, microbial load and heavy metal contents of both unprocessed and processed tomato products. β-carotene, lycopene and vitamin C contents were analysed accordingly on selected sachet tomato paste. Microbial colony counts were done using both nutrient agar and potatoes dextrose agar. Heavy metals from sampled tomato products were done using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. The study observed β-carotene ranged between 0.02 – 0.52 mg/g, lycopene ranged between 0.12 – 0.56 mg/g and vitamin C contents of ranged between 12.50 – 75.0 mg/mL. These were more than WHO/FAO and FEPA recommendations. All tomatoes samples showed microbial load higher than limits allowable. Bacillus sp., Salmonella sp., Aspergillus sp. were predominantly isolated from sampled processed tomato products. Cadmium contents were above the permissive limit in some of the tomato paste products. Copper, zinc, lead, nickel, chromium and iron were not detected in all samples evaluated. The study showed few processed tomato products were safe for  consumption. Hence, monitoring by regulatory agencies for consumer safety regulations is highly  recommended on processed tomato producers.

Recently, consumption of mushroom is on the increase in many developing countries. They serve as food supplements in diets of the people. The present study was conducted to evaluate nutraceutical properties of the oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), a widely cultivated mushroom in Nigeria. Properties such as proximate composition, mineral ions and antioxidants contents were analyzed using standard methods. P. ostreatus was found to contain high percentage of crude fibre, moisture content, carbohydrates, crude fat, total ash, crude protein and oil matter. Percentage of mineral ion such as sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper and zinc were found to be lower in value. Antioxidants such as flavonoid, phenol, lycopene, β Carotene and ascorbic acid in P. ostreatus were found to be high in value. Overall, the percentage content of minerals in P. ostreatus was less than 1%, proximate composition was 33.64% and antioxidants was 66.16%. This showed that P. ostreatus had a high content of antioxidants, moderate amount of proximate composition and low amount of minerals. As P. ostreatus contains low calorific value and very high content of antioxidants, dietary fibres and minerals, it can therefore be said to be potentially good for medicinal purposes especially among the vegetarian consumers

Implications of the understanding of Entrepreneurship in Local Economic Development in Malawi
Authors: Mwatsika Charles
Published: October 2021

The study analyses knowledge about entrepreneurship which guides entrepreneurial behaviour in enterprises in Malawi in order to reflect on its implications in local economic development. Top-of the-mind definition which collects unaided responses from the top of respondents’ mind was used. Definitions or explanations of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activities undertaken were recorded from 337 enterprises. Innovations carried out by the enterprises were measured in new products, new production methods, new markets and new enterprises together with the values realised. Content analyses, descriptive statistics and comparison of means were used to classify the definitions of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial activities undertaken and compare values of innovations carried out. The study finds that entrepreneurship is predominantly defined as starting and managing one’s own business, being self-employed and creating jobs in the economy. Petty income generating activities and subsistence oriented micro and small enterprises dominate. The prevailing understanding of entrepreneurship guides policy, education and training, SME finance, infrastructure development and support towards unproductive entrepreneurial activities which would not ignite economic development. Therefore, much as institutions are established to support SME sector growth and improve the environment for business, improving knowledge about productive entrepreneurship that guides SME policy, finance, entrepreneurship education and training is pertinent in Malawi.

Background: ‘Brought- in-dead’ (BID) refers to the demise of an individual before presentation to a health facility. This study assessed the pattern of paediatric BID cases seen at a tertiary health facility in southwest Nigeria.
Method: A cross-sectional, descriptive study was done at the Children Emergency Ward (CEW) of the hospital between January 2014 and December 2018. The patterns of BID cases and presumed causes of death were determined using a standardized checklist adapted from the WHO verbal autopsy instrument.
Results: Ninety-eight BID cases were seen during the study, constituting 2.5% of total patients seen during the period. The median (IQR) age of cases was 24.0 (8.75 – 63.0) months and 72.4% were under-fives. Most had symptoms related to the haematologic (36.7%), respiratory (24.5%) or digestive (20.4%) systems. Severe anaemia 31(31.6%), gastroenteritis 19 (19.4) and aspiration 17 (17.3%) were the most common causes of death. The median (IQR) duration of illness before presentation was 3.0 (1.0 – 7.0) days but most presented from 4 – 7 days of illness. A significant relationship was found between the duration of illness and whether or not pre-hospital treatment was received (p < 0.0001). Unprescribed drugs purchased over the counter were the most commonly used treatment in 79.1% of cases (p < 0.0001).
Conclusion: This study has highlighted the prevalence and pattern of paediatric BID in a tertiary health facility in southwest Nigeria and the factors that were associated with it. More efforts need to be geared towards community sensitization and pediatric health care to prevent factors drivingits menace.

Giriş: Pandemi önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Toplumda bazı grupların pandemi sürecinde daha fazla bilgiye ve farkındalığa ihtiyaç duyduğu, endişe ve anksiyete yaşadıkları düşünülmektedir. Tarım işçileri bu gruplardan biri olarak halk sağlığı hemşirelerinin değerlendirmesi ve uygun yaklaşımlar geliştirmesi açısından önemlidir. Amaç: Bu çalışmada amaç, tarım işçilerinin Covid-19 pandemisinde kişisel koruyucu kullanımına yönelik farkındalıkları, sağlıkla ilgili endişeleri ve anksiyetelerini belirlemektir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı türdeki çalışmanın evrenini Doğu Karadeniz bölgesindeki bir ilde bulunan fındık işçileri oluşturmaktadır (n = 153). Veri toplama araçları olarak ‘Bilgi Formu, Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği ve Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği’ kullanılmıştır. Veriler, online olarak toplanmıştır. İstatistiksel değerlendirme SPSS paket programı yardımıyla normal dağılıp dağılmadığı belirlenerek, t-testi/Mann Withney U testi ve ANOVA/Kruskall Wallis testi ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan tarım işçilerinin yaş ortalaması 36.34 ± 12.69, %50.3’ü kadın ve %53.6’sı üniversite mezunudur. İşçilerin %33.1’i Covid-19 ile ilgili yapılması gereken iyileştirmelerin başında hijyen koşulları olduğunu düşünmekte, %43.8’i sosyal mesafeye dikkat konusunda kararsız kalmakta, %49.7’si maske kullanımına dikkat edilemediğini düşünmektedir. İşçilerin %54.9’u hastalığın kendilerine bulaşacağını ve %84.3’ü kendilerini güvende hissetmediklerini belirtmektedir. İşçilerin Covid-19 Korkusu Ölçeği puanı 17.62 ± 6.06 iken Beck Anksiyete Ölçeği puanı 12.47 ± 11.13’tür. Sonuç: Çalışmada tarım işçilerinin Covid-19 korkularının şiddetli olduğu, anksiyetelerinin normal düzeyde olduğu ve cinsiyet, aile yapısı, gelir düzeyi gibi demografik değişkenlere göre değiştiği bulunmuştur. Kişisel koruyucu kullanımı, sosyal mesafe ve vardiyalı çalışma durumları ile korku ve endişeleri arasında ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. Sahadaki risklerin belirlenmesi, uygun önlemlerin alınması, etkin bir kontrol mekanizması sağlanması ve işbirliği içinde hareket edilmesi önerilmektedir.

O TRÁFICO DE POLACAS EM EL INFIERNO PROMETIDO, DE ELSA DRUCAROFF
Authors: Rocha Karine
Published: October 2021

Publicado em 2006, El Infierno Prometido, da escritora argentina Elsa Drucaroff tem como fonte de inspiração o tráfico de judias do leste europeu entre fins do século XIX e início do XX. Tema tabu durante muitas décadas, hoje é revisitado por escritores e historiadores, mas tendo como foco a versão não oficial dos fatos. Para este artigo, centraremos nossa análise nas ferramentas do novo romance histórico utilizado pela autora para a composição do personagem fictício Dina. Através das memórias de Sara, será possível observar o cotidiano das meninas traficadas e a recepção do problema pela comunidade judaica argentina. Nosso arcabouço teórico conta com nomes como os de Cristina Pons, Fernando Ainsa e Donna Guy.

Palavras-chave: Novo romance histórico. Literatura argentina. Estudos judaicos. Gênero.

A sintetização de sinais sonoros se torna cada vez mais um recurso utilizado no meio musical. E um sinal acústico pode ser sintetizado a partir da transformada de Fourier. Os sinais podem ser escritos por uma soma de senos e cossenos combinados com características das frequências naturais de vibração, amortecimento, amplitudes, além da variação do fator tempo. O sinal processado computacionalmente pode ser reproduzido a partir dos seus próprios parâmetros, mas com a possibilidade de eliminar do novo sinal alguns efeitos indesejáveis, como por exemplo, o ruído branco.

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar o nível de coordenação motora de crianças da rede municipal da cidade de Quatis - RJ, a considerar sexo e faixa etária dos sujeitos. A coordenação motora é vista como a relação harmoniosa dos sistemas nervoso, sensorial e musculoesquelético com o intuito de produzir ações eficazes e equilibradas. Para a sua avaliação, são conhecidos métodos distintos, dentre eles o Teste de Coordenação Corporal para Crianças (KTK), que permite a identificação de fatores que tornam os movimentos limitados, o que possibilita a percepção das ações a serem empregadas em programas voltados para o desenvolvimento do mesmo. Os resultados obtidos revelaram que o nível de coordenação motora das crianças avaliadas está classificado entre o considerado normal e com perturbações na coordenação. Percebeu-se também que quando os níveis de coordenação motora foram analisados separadamente por gênero, não houve uma diferença significativa entre os dois grupos.

Corrosion, being a destructive process, causes damage in almost all industrial sectors. In this way, it is harmful both from an economic, social and, especially, safety point of view, as it can cause failures in critical equipment and components of an industrial process. At this point, stainless steels are considered the most corrosion resistant metals. The resistance depends on the chemical composition and microstructure, factors that directly influence the passivation of these materials. The resistance is proportionally related to the addition of chromium (Cr) to the mixture, as well as other alloying elements, among which is the molybdenum (Mo), whose main function is to maximize corrosion resistance in the marine atmosphere, as in case of austenitic stainless steel AISI 316 which presents in the chemical composition a percentage of the element Mo. Austenitic stainless steels are applied in instrumentation systems in tubing for reliability in severe atmospheres in accordance with ASTM A269 which establishes the materials applicable to this function. Thus, the present work presents, through a review and case study, Pitting Corrosion of tubings of austenitic stainless steel AISI 316 in the presence of chloride ions (Cl-) coming from the marine atmosphere. The results show that there is no change in the longitudinal and transverse structure for all analyzed tubes, showing a homogeneous austenitic structure, free of intergranular precipitations.
