Published: September 2024

Introducción: La pandemia acercó la crisis sanitaria a los países desarrollados que lejos de tener medios suficientes para afrontarla se vieron envueltos en graves problemas de gestión de recursos humanos y materiales. La OMS indicó la importancia de realizar una evaluación postcrisis de dichos recursos. La evaluación referida debía incluir mecanismos de mitigación, preparación, respuesta y recuperación del desastre que originó la crisis.
Objetivos: Objetivo principal: Analizar la actividad asistencial de un hospital de tercer nivel antes, durante y posteriormente a la crisis por el COVID-19. Objetivos secundarios: Valorar si se está preparado para una respuesta correcta en caso de una nueva crisis sanitaria y si se ha realizado una correcta evaluación postcrisis.
Material y métodos: Se realiza un estudio observacional retrospectivo antes, durante y posterior a la pandemia por COVID-19. Se analizan la actividad hospitalaria, la actividad de consultas externas, la actividad quirúrgica y la actividad en urgencias. Se recogen los datos de incapacidades temporales y las plazas de imposible ocupación separados por servicios.
Resultados y discusión: En líneas generales ha crecido la actividad asistencial con respecto a antes del COVID en urgencias, UCI y hospitalización (sobre todo en servicios como Cardiología o Medicina Interna) y se ha igualado en consultas externas (aunque con mayor número de consultas sucesivas que de primeras) y en actividad quirúrgica. Existe un grave problema de recursos humanos ante el aumento de las renuncias y las incapacidades temporales encontrando bolsas de empleo vacías. Las circunstancias que provocan tanto las renuncias como las incapacidades temporales han sido ampliamente descritas en la literatura y son, entre otras, la búsqueda de mejores condiciones laborales y el agotamiento físico y mental del personal sanitario. Desde el Departamento y la Conselleria de Sanidad se han habilitado varias medidas para absorber estos cambios del paradigma: modificación de las urgencias hospitalarias, creaciones de agrupaciones sanitarias interdepartamentales para cubrir las necesidades entre centros de personal y un plan funcional para un nuevo Hospital General Universitario. Aun así, se imponen medidas centrales que sobrepasen los límites autonómicos como son una mejora en la educación sanitaria del país y la mejora en las condiciones laborales de los trabajadores sanitarios para igualarlos a los países de nuestro entorno y de esta manera se limite la fuga del personal altamente cualificado.
Palabras clave: crisis sanitaria, COVID-19, recursos humanos sanitarios, actividad hospitalaria, plan de contingencia.
Protéger la vie privée via un réseau adversarial d’attaque de réidentification
Authors: Vilain Vincent
Published: September 2024

Avec la précision des systèmes actuels GPS, les services géolocalisés sont devenus très populaires. Cette utilisation de plus en plus importante génère une très grande quantité de données de mobilité. Ces données peuvent servir à la planification urbaine, pour les transports en commun ou le développement de routes. Elles peuvent aussi servir à cibler des publicités à leurs utilisateurs. Pour protéger la vie privée des utilisateurs de ces services géolocalisés, il est important de trouver une méthode permettant de parer les attaques menaçant la vie privée à travers l’accès à ces données sensibles. Pour cela, les travaux de recherche de mon équipe d’accueil visent à élaborer des mécanismes de défense basés sur les attaques adversariales, à savoir des mécanismes qui apprennent les défenses en utilisant l’apprentissage des attaques [11]. Une de ces attaques est l’attaque de réidentification des utilisateurs. Elle repose sur un deuxième modèle qui a pour but d’assigner un utilisateur à une trajectoire. Notre projet a pour but de créer une librairie Python qui sera utilisée dans le projet en cours de développement par mon équipe. Cependant, nous l’avons conçu de façon modulaire sous la forme d’une librairie que nous avons appelée MobiDeel. Cela destine ce travail à une utilisation plus large permettant à d’autres chercheurs travaillant sur les données de mobilité et les mécanismes de défense de la vie privée de tester facilement leurs méthodes face à des attaques de réidentification. La librairie étant open-source, la communauté de chercheurs peut participer librement à son développement.

Decoding the Diet of a Local Owl Population
Authors: Battineni Sudiksha , Solomon Sophia , Leonard Meghan , Yu Lauren , Brissenden Emily
Published: September 2024

Populations of owl species are in danger due to declining habitat. Owls play an essential role in maintaining the local rodent population, which aids in preventing the spread of disease. To better understand the local rodent population and its potential for disease transmission, owl pellets were collected from an abandoned building that was soon to undergo renovation in Burke County, NC. Over two years, 12 pellets were dissected, with eight pellets dissected in the first year and the remaining four in the second year. These pellets were dissected under a biological safety cabinet, resulting in 38 samples. Teeth and jawbones were surface sterilized and dried before pulverization. DNA was extracted from dissected rodent incisors utilizing Qiagen DNEasy spin columns. Mammal primers were used to amplify a 400 bp mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA fragment through Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Mitochondrial cytochrome b is the accepted barcode used for genetic identification of mammals. The resulting amplicons were sequenced and aligned to mitochondrial cytochrome b sequences within GenBank’s BLAST database. In the first year of study, ten sequences most closely aligned with Sigmodon hispidus, commonly known as the Hispid Cotton Rat. Other sequencing attempts were either unsuccessful or suggested contamination. In a second round of study, one DNA sequence aligned with Microtus pinetorum, otherwise known as the Woodland Vole. The remaining DNA sequences were too weak to determine a particular species. Sigmodon hispidus is known for transmitting respiratory diseases that are detrimental to human health, while Microtus pinetorum is known to disrupt foundations in human infrastructure. Prior to building renovations, the owls were relocated to a nearby location where they continue to maintain the prey population as determined in this study.
backbone of Latin America: recent developments and new directions in anthropometric history
Authors: López-Alonso Moramay
Published: September 2024

This article examines scholarship in the anthropometric history of Latin America, published after the
last survey in 2016. The field has grown in diverse senses: there are studies for countries that had not been studied before, such as Bolivia, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Trinidad, and the scholarship covers broader periods and in more detail for those countries that were first studied such as Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and especially Chile. New methodologies are used to examine height data and its determinants beyond the traditional realm of anthropometric history, such as gender dimorphism, nutrition, and Technophysio evolution. The approach has also led to assessing the effects of immigration and violence on living stan- dards. This growing scholarship contributes to deepening our understanding of the region’s socioeconomic aspects of stature, inequality, and welfare. More historical analysis would help to further our knowledge of the context in which these processes evolved in different periods for different countries. The field can expand and be part of debates on these topics beyond Latin America in many ways.

formation of the financial market in Uruguay (1851-1900): currency, credit and capital
Authors: Pereira dos Santos Rodrigo Salles
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the formation of the financial market in Uruguay during the period of 1851 to 1900, emphasizing its political underpinnings. Waves of company and banking institution creation and destruction, credit mechanisms, and disputes related to monetary policies took over the country, and reveal a mutually constitutive relationship between the state and the market. Theoretical foundations draw from Polanyi's emphasis on the central bank and currency monopolization, Weberian analysis of the stock exchange, and Marxian analysis of the joint-stock company. Methodologically, I conducted bibliographical and archival research, including documentary analysis, utilizing sources from the Archivo General de la Nación and the Biblioteca Nacional de Uruguay. Findings underscore the significance of analyzing money as a fictitious commodity in understanding modernization, with a need for a more comprehensive examination of financial markets, goods, and actors. Notably, the case study reveals the subordination of the capital market to the money market, with state-centralized credit supply, albeit with structural limitations. Furthermore, the occurrence of booms and crises in stock companies suggests the existence of alternative channels of capital formation, calling for further exploration to comprehensively elucidate the commodification process in Uruguay.
Inspecting the role of learning platforms, gamification, and diverse teaching approaches in improving vocabulary acquisition, critical thinking, and student engagement in education
Authors: Al-Mutairi Tariq G.
Published: September 2024

These days, learning through online platforms has become both widespread and popular, particularly among students. For English learners, mastering the language is critical, given its complex vocabulary and grammar. As a result, incorporating gamification in learning platforms could have a significant impact on vocabulary retention, though its effectiveness may vary depending on the student's engagement and the platform's design. Learning through platforms can affect students in different ways; it might diminish their knowledge in certain situations, but it can also be beneficial. For this study, data was gathered from students of different ages and different opinions about this particular case. After gathering and analysing the results, it was apparent that the majority of students use learning platforms to study English and improve their vocabulary. The study also found that students generally enjoy using these platforms, finding them more engaging and fun, and they believe these tools ominously help their learning experience from their perspective. Learning through platforms makes it easier for students to enjoy lessons and put in more effort, as some platforms incorporate competitive elements like awarding a winner, which boosts students’ pride and motivates them to continue working hard.
Evolving Perceptions of English Language Learning: A Phenomenographic Study of Learners' Strategies and Approaches
Authors: Sheikh Aamir Futaima
Published: September 2024

This study probes into the changed students' perceptions of effective learning strategies among English language learners (ELLs), employing a phenomenographic approach. The results show an orientation change in learners from vocabulary and grammar exercises to more interactive and communicative types of exercises. Initially, these students had difficulties applying the memorised content in real-life situations but later reported signs of fluency improvement and increasing confidence through peer interaction, technology-assisted learning, and authentic practice. Moreover, personalised teacher feedback had a great impact on the growth of the learners. The study emphasises moving away from rote learning in language and instead incorporating elements of social interaction, immersion, and technology to facilitate fluency. These findings indicate that the curriculum for a language has to be more dynamic and practical to enhance learners' fluency, which may provide some useful implications for educators and curriculum developers.

Published: September 2024

How Relative CSR Performance Affects Analyst Recommendations in the Indonesian Market. Our quantitative examination of data from Indonesian firms from 2019 to 2023 explored how analysts assess relative CSR performance and improvements. Screening theory was employed to comprehend how these metrics influence analyst recommendations, considering various contextual aspects. The findings indicate security analysts favor companies with higher or improving CSR performance, though the impact of improvement diminishes over time. Corporations' relative CSR placements notably affect analysts' recommendations, with higher positions resulting in more favorable evaluations. The positive consequence of CSR performance enhancements is accentuated for enterprises with higher relative positions and is impacted by factors for instance the number of experts covering the business, the analysts' experience, and competitive and institutional pressures. This research is restricted to the Indonesian setting, and generalizing the outcomes to other regions or nations with dissimilar CSR practices necessitates further exploration. Additionally, while the concentration is on analysts' viewpoints, future studies could benefit from inspecting how other stakeholders, for example government agencies or third-party organizations, assess CSR performance. Enterprises in Indonesia ought to center around accomplishing and preserving high relative CSR execution to guarantee positive recommendations from experts. Creating long-haul systems to support CSR performance and understanding the impact of competitive and institutional stresses are pivotal for heightening expert assessments. This investigation adds to the CSR literature by framing CSR competition as a pivotal factor in analysts’ appraisals and broadening screening theory to incorporate unintentional signs. It gives important learning for businesses aiming to skillfully navigate CSR competition and align their procedures with expert desires.

Resultados: as consequências da infecção do ZIKV ainda é um desafio, visto que além da microcefalia, essa infecção também resulta em outras complicações neurológicas denominadas de SCZ ocasionando uma condição crônica na criança. Portanto, a equipe de saúde deve estar preparada para acolher a gestante com suspeita de microcefalia e após o nascimento do RN, a equipe de saúde precisa desenvolver ações para o acompanhamento dessa criança visando o seu bem-estar. Conclusão: durante o desenvolvimento desse projeto, ficou evidente um déficit no meio profissional na prestação de uma assistência adequada, por isso, é primordial que durante o crescimento e desenvolvimento da criança, os profissionais da saúde busque estratégias que visem atender as necessidades e principais intercorrências que a criança possa desenvolver ao longo dos anos.

Published: September 2024

Introdução: A Lesão Renal Aguda (LRA) é uma condição caracterizada pela perda súbita de função renal, com consequências graves para os pacientes. Trata-se de um indicador de prognóstico ruim em pacientes hospitalizados, com aumento nas taxas de morbidade e mortalidade. Objetivo: Descrever o perfil clínico-epidemiológico e a evolução de pacientes hospitalares que necessitam de terapia de substituição renal (TSR) por hemodiálise em um hospital público no Espírito Santo. Métodos: Estudo descritivo, prospectivo e observacional do tipo série de casos com pacientes que iniciaram hemodiálise no hospital. Foram coletadas informações demográficas e clínicas dos pacientes, bem como dados relacionados ao atendimento nefrológico. Resultados: A LRA afetou principalmente pacientes de baixa escolaridade e renda, dependendo do sistema público de saúde. A sepse foi a principal causa da LRA, e o tempo entre a admissão e a avaliação do nefrologista afetou significativamente o prognóstico dos pacientes. Conclusão: Há elevada mortalidade entre os pacientes com LRA que necessitaram de TSR, enfatizando a importância do diagnóstico precoce e do manejo adequado dessa condição. O estudo também ressaltou a necessidade de medidas para prevenir a LRA e melhorar o acesso ao tratamento renal em pacientes de baixa renda. Palavras-chave: injúria renal aguda; perfil de saúde; hemodiálise; hospital público.

Introdução: A avaliação do perfil das internações hospitalares oferece uma compreensão abrangente sobre a epidemiologia da morbidade dos agravos em saúde para fins de vigilância em Saúde Pública e elaboração de ações preventivas. Objetivo: Caracterizar o perfil de hospitalizações na região de Saúde do Baixo Amazonas, Oeste do Pará, entre 2018 a 2020. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e quantitativo realizado com dados secundários coletados no departamento de informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). Resultados: As hospitalizações na região de estudo estiveram preferencialmente atribuídas às questões de gravidez, parto e puerpério; doenças infecto parasitárias e lesões, envenenamentos e causas externas, sendo as duas últimas relacionadas a indivíduos do gênero masculino e da cor parda. Quanto à idade, crianças de 1 a 4 anos e indivíduos acima de 50 anos obtiveram elevados percentuais de hospitalização por doenças infecto parasitárias. As internações por gravidez, parto e puerpério e por lesões, envenenamento e causas externas foram superiores na faixa etária de 20 a 29 anos. As hospitalizações por doenças digestivas estiveram relacionadas ao gênero masculino; e doenças geniturinárias ao gênero feminino, mas em ambos a faixa etária predominante foi de 20 a 39 anos. Conclusão: O levantamento realizado mostra que a assistência em saúde relacionada ao ciclo gravídico-puerperal deve ser priorizada na região de estudo, além disso, ações estratégicas preventivas para minimizar a hospitalização por doenças infectocontagiosas, parasitárias, envenenamentos e causas externas devem implementadas através da melhoria das condições de vida da população e de ações de educação em saúde. Demais causas, como doenças do aparelho digestivo e respiratório devem ser investigadas por novos estudos.
