Published: November 2021

Existing research on improving antenatal care—using information and communication technologies and related technology—has focused on mobile phones to support SMS alerts and the implementation of a tool for booking appointments. The SMS alert system is limited in many ways, especially in addressing the conflicts in schedule and time for appointment and visit. Even with the reported tool(s) implemented, activities in the software development process, especially the design specifications, were not correctly followed and documented to justify the solutions proposed. By means of a qualitative research approach, a face-to-face oral interview with both pregnant women and obstetricians and a brainstorming session with the obstetricians were achieved. The chapter approach harnesses course-plotting technology to determine the most suitable obstetrician based on proximity and route with Google Map's aid. The result is presented from both analytical and technical perspectives to prevent and reduce the high rate of maternal and neonatal loss.

The use of technology in healthcare became a prevailing necessity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The sanitary services oriented in mental health broadened their way of interaction due to the increase in the need for these services. Healthcare professionals had to develop different learning skills and adapt their abilities to the virtual clinical practice through a digital interface, where communication represented the biggest challenge. The objective of the study was to identify the different adjustments, especially in the communication skills, made by those who provide psychological services by the Virtual Clinic in Psychology and others and clinical psychologists. The authors considered adequate qualitative methodology for the study with an exploratory, descriptive design. The data gathering tool was a semi-structured interview and the word analysis method. The participants are professors that provide psychological care in the Virtual Clinic in Psychology of a nonprofit institution of higher education in Mexico and professionals providing mental health attention.

Authors: Mendoza Ochoa Víctor D. , Lopez Romero Cesar O. , Rios Barrientos Elena
Published: November 2021

Telesimulation, specifically in health areas, is an educational technique that combines clinical simulation and communication technologies. This definition has been constantly modified, but today more than ever it represents a valuable resource to provide academic continuity. The purpose of this chapter is to present the basic concepts of this strategy while reviewing its antecedents/history in the pre-COVID era, the experience with this technique in health sciences, as well as the processes and resources essential to carry it out with an analysis of the potential limitations that may entail. Likewise, concrete examples of telesimulation in various subjects will be shared, leaving readers the challenge of constant innovation in this field.

Published: November 2021

The context in which health professionals practice is constantly evolving. The entry of new technologies in medicine has put more than one specialist to the test. It is worth noting that these technologies are rapidly updated, generating new solutions every year. While this contributes to offering quality programs for the training of new professionals, how can a professional even aspire to keep up to date with all these developments? This chapter provides some proposals and reflections to develop professional development goals for health professionals based on a continuous professional development mindset.

Published: November 2021

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic poses a threat to the everyday life of people worldwide and brings challenges to the global health system. During this outbreak, it is critical to find creative ways to extend the reach of informatics into every person in society. Although there are many websites and mobile applications for this purpose, they are insufficient in reaching vulnerable populations like older adults who are not familiar with using new technologies to access information. In this paper, we propose an AI-enabled chatbot assistant that delivers real-time, useful, context-aware, and personalized information about COVID-19 to users, especially older adults. To use the assistant, a user simply speaks to it through a mobile phone or a smart speaker. This natural and interactive interface does not require the user to have any technical background. The virtual assistant was evaluated in the lab environment through various types of use cases. Preliminary qualitative test results demonstrate a reasonable precision and recall rate.
Analyses and Retrospectives for a Profitable Agriculture
Authors: Safta Adela Sorinela , Popescu Lavinia
Published: November 2021

The work focused on assessing an overview of the agricultural economy in terms of the sustainability of agricultural systems adapted to climatic disturbances that allow ecological agricultural practices. Changing paradigms in agriculture with climate change involves adapting agricultural systems to the risks of using fertilizers in soil treatment, the interdependence of plant-soil water in agricultural practice, and the reduction of nitrate waste are also highlighted in the paper. Expectations regarding the reduction of greenhouse gases in the agricultural system have a long concern, what we propose in this study is that, at the same time, local traditions, the balance of the biosphere must be maintained with local nutrient needs based on climatic and soil characteristics. In the research, we analyzed some of the vulnerabilities, in the sense that, the agricultural practice and tradition must have a denominator in terms of fertilizers considering the risks of pollution or waste.
Utility Value Criteria in Selection of Species for Sustainable Reclamation of Silica Mining Areas
Authors: Dubey Kumud , Dubey K. P.
Published: November 2021

Silica sand mining in Shankargarh, Prayagraj, India area has led to extensive ecological destruction, environmental degradation and erosion of traditional values in the society. Therefore, an integrated organic and socioeconomic approach is urgently required to bioreclaim degraded mine sites.The most common problems linked with degraded land rehabilitation failures are frequently associated with improper selection of plantation species. Subsistence utility preferences of local people are major acclaimed and convincing reasons in the selection of valuable tree species for Bioreclamation. Socioeconomic Survey were carried out in the nearby villages of Silica mining area to study the existing resources of the area, social structure of the community, dependence on forest and species preferred by the local people. Consequently, a Utility Value Index (UVI) framework was conceptualized, designed and subsequently developed to identify species preferred by the local people and highly valued for supporting their livelihood.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy are an important cause of maternal mortality in Sri Lanka. Gestational hypertension (GH)/Pre-eclampsia (PEC) and threatened miscarriage (TM) share common pathophysiological mechanisms. This study was conducted to determine the association between TM and development of GH/PEC. Methodology: A case control study was conducted at Castle Street Hospital for Women, Sri Lanka from May 2014 to May 2015. Cases consisted of patients with GH/PEC and compared with age and parity matched controls. A systematic random sampling method was used. Similar number of cases and controls were compared while each group consisted of 245 subjects. Data was obtained from medical records. Patients aged 20-35 years were included and medical disorders other than GH/PEC were excluded. Results: There were 245 subjects in each group of the study. Among the cases, 56% had GH and the rest had PEC. There were 25 patients had a history of TM in the study population. About 6.5% of cases had a history TM, while only 3.6% of controls had TM. There is also a significant risk of developing PEC in a patient who had a history of threatened miscarriage (OR 3.31, 95% CI 1.35-8.11). Moreover the patients who had a history of TM tend to develop GH or PEC early, within 20-32 weeks of gestation (OR 11.49, 95% CI 3.88-33.99). As we identified, 62% of patients who had TM developed GH/PEC early (from 20 to 32 weeks) but among the cases who had no history of TM, only 12% developed GH/PEC between 20 to 32 weeks of gestation (O.R. 20.7 (5.66 to 91.96). There is a significant risk of developing severe GH/PEC in the group of patients who had a history of TM (OR 8.59, 95% CI 2.87-25.66). Eighty one percent (81%) of the cases, who had a history of TM, developed severe and moderate GH/PEC rather than mild. But the majority (63%) of the cases, who had no history of TM, developed mild GH/PEC (O.R. 7.6 (2.00 to 42.55). Conclusions: Shared pathophysiological mechanisms of GH/PEC and TM may explain the observed association between these obstetric complications. Early onset, severe GH/PEC in cases with TM suggests temporality and a biological gradient which favors causality.

Published: November 2021

Fungal infections occurring in immunocompromised patients after immuno-chemotherapy treatment, are often difficult to eradicate and capable of even being fatal. Systemic mycoses affecting severely immunocompromised patients often manifest acutely with rapidly progressive pneumonia, fungemia, or manifestations of extrapulmonary dissemination. Opportunistic fungal infections (mycoses) include several pathogens elements, as Candidiasis, Aspergillosis, Mucormycosis (zygomycosis) and Fusariosis. Prompt diagnosis and effective therapy are needed to improve the associated morbidity and mortality, especially in cases with non-canonical fungal localizations and not responsive to the available antifungal drugs.
PaCO2–EtCO2 Gradient and D-dimer in the Diagnosis of Suspected Pulmonary Embolism
Authors: Khajebashi Sayed Hamed , Mottaghi Maryam , Forghani Mohsen
Published: November 2021

Background:

The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) because of nonspecific clinical presentation remains as a challenge for emergency physicians. Arterial to end-tidal partial pressure of carbon dioxide (P(a-Et) CO2) gradient may be useful in the evaluation of PE. This aimed to define the diagnostic role of P(a-Et)CO2 gradient by sidestream capnography, as a noninvasive method, and D-dimer in patients with PE.

Materials and Methods:

Two hundred and three patients with chest pain or dyspnea who attend the hospital emergency ward were enrolled over a study period at a single academic center. PE was confirmed by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scans. PaCO2, EtCO2, and D-dimer were measured within 24 h of MDCT by capnograph.

Results:

The combination of P(a-Et)CO2 gradient (cutoff >9.2 ng/ml) and D-dimer (cutoff >3011 ng/ml) with sensitivity and specificity of 30.2% and 87.2% showed a significant diagnostic value in detecting PE (area under the curve = 0.577, P = 0.045) but not alone (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:

As the results show, the combination of P(a-Et)CO2 gradient and D-dimer can show an acceptable diagnostic value in detecting PE, although it suggests further research on evaluating the diagnostic value of P(a-Et)CO2 gradient and combining it with other diagnostic criteria to achieve a definite and generalizable result.

Authors: Niazi Abbass Ali , Kourkinejad Gharaei Fatemeh , Saebinasab Zahra , Maleki Maryam , Maghool Fatemeh , Fereidooni Fatemeh , Safari Tahereh
Published: November 2021

Backgrounds:

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing in developing countries that affects the liver in a variety of ways. This study was designed to investigate the protective role of eugenol on liver damage caused by fructose-induced MetS.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: 1: tap water (control), 2: fructose, 3: fructose + eugenol solvent, 4: fructose + eugenol 50 mg/kg, and 5: fructose + eugenol 100 mg/kg. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were taken for measurement fast blood glucose (FBG), serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase (SGPT), low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, cholesterol, and triglyceride.

Results:

FBG significantly increased in Group 2 compared to Group 1 (P < 0.001); however, it significantly decreased in Groups 4 and 5 compared to Group 2 (P < 0.05). SGOT and SGPT levels significantly increased in Group 2 compared to the control group (P < 0.001). However, SGOT and SGPT levels significantly decreased in Groups 4 and 5. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and liver tissue damage score (LTDS) significantly increased in Group 2 compared with the control group (P < 0.01), whereas MDA and LTDS decreased in Groups 4 and 5 compared to Group 2 (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Eugenol may ameliorate liver damage in a rat model of fructose-induced MetS, and these protective effects may in part be mediated by improving antioxidant status and reducing oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. It may also reduce hepatic inflammation and fat accumulation as well as fibrosis of liver cells.

Acquisition of a Foreign Accent by Native Speakers of English Living in the Czech Republic
Authors: Sučková Magda
Published: November 2021

First language attrition has been shown to affect many areas of linguistic performance in immigrants to other countries. In phonetics, there is often a shift towards the majority language phonetic features, and, in some cases, the speakers may cease to be perceived as native altogether. This article presents the results of a foreign accent rating study, showing that even Anglophone expatriates are not immune to L1 attrition despite the (relative) lack of pressure to linguistically assimilate due to the status of their mother tongue as a prestigious and desirable-to-master language. The quantitative results are augmented by personal narratives of the expatriate informants, showing that what is often dismissed as mere anecdotal evidence may in fact bear a strong correspondence to the quantitative data.
Lucien Tesnière: critique et traducteur de Župančič
Authors: Mahnič Joža
Published: November 2021

Lucien Tesnière, d'origine normande, se voua d'abord aux études des langues germaniques pour s'orienter plus tard vers les langues slaves, à savoir le russe, le serbo-croate et le slovène. Dans les annees 1921-1924, i1 fut le premier lecteur de français à l'Université de Ljubljana. Il contribua à la fondation de l'Institut français à Ljubljana et en devint le premier directeur sous la présidence de Oton Župančič. Ses recherches de la langue slovene lui firent parcourir pratiquement tout notre pays; il lia des contacts avec plusieurs intellectuels slovènes. Même après son retour en France où il fut nommé professeur de langues slaves à l'Université de Strasbourg, il maintint des rapports par correspondance, en particulier avec Anton Debeljak, Jože Glonar et Fran Ramovš qui lui fournissaient des renseignements, surtout dans le domaine linguistique. Il entretint un lien encore plus étroit avec Glonar qui lui envoyait les livres récents à ce sujet que Tesnière présentait par la suite dans la Revue des Études Slaves. Au cours de l'année académique 1927/28, il donna un cours de conférences publiques sur la littérature slovène depuis Trubar passant par Prešeren jusqu' à Župančič.

"La these de la séparation des études grammaticales et littéraires est périmée ... La science ne se laisse pas compartimenter: elle prend son bien partout où elle le trouve. Connaissant de façon approfondie le slovenè, M. Tesnière a admiré, en linguiste, le remarquable développement du slovene litteraire." (André Vaillant, in: Revue des études slaves, 1931, S. 114).Tesnière kam 1920 nach Ljubljana, um dort als Lektor im Rang eines Professors Französisch zu lehren. Seiner Initiative verdankt das Institut Français in Ljubljana seine Existenz. Tesnière war bis 1924 sein administrativer Leiter, Oton Župančič wurde zum Präsident des Instituts gewählt. Damit kam Tesnière mit dem "Emeuerer des slowenischen Verses", wie er Župančič nannte, in einen engeren Kontakt. Doch gait Tesnières Interesse · keineswegs nur ihm. Ende der zwanziger Jahre war Tesnière der erste, der an einer französischen Universität die slowenische Literatur von Trubar über Preseren bis Župančič lehrte. Anton Ocvirk hat den jungen Maître de conférence 1933 in Straßburg besucht und eine erstaunliche Beschreibung seiner reichhaltigen Sammlung slowenischer Literatur gegeben, - nach Tesnière selbst damals die wohl großte slowenische Bibliothek in Frankreich.

Publicistika Stanka Premrla – Med cecilijanstvom in modernizmom
Authors: Nagode Aleš
Published: November 2021

Estetski nazori Stanka Premrla, ene od osrednjih osebnosti slovenske cerkvene glasbe 20. st., so bili trdno ukoreninjeni v cecilijanski tradiciji. Nespremenjeno ostaja stališče, da se mora cerkvena glasba v prvi vrsti podrejati cerkvenim predpisom, medtem ko je njena umetniška vrednost sicer potrebna, a ne nujna. V vrednotenju cerkvenoglasbenih del lahko tudi v njegovih spisih odkrivamo enak vzorec, kot pri starejši cecilijanski generaciji. Prvo mesto pripada koralu, drugo vokalni-polifoniji 16. st., ki velja kot ideal in zgled večglasne cerkvene glasbe. Odločno odklanja dela iz 18. in prve polovice 19. st. (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven), kakor tudi pretežni del slovenske predcecilijanske cerkvenoglasbene ustvarjalnosti. V njegovem odnosu do sodobne cerkvene glasbe lahko zasledimo občuten razvoj, od začetnega vztrajanja pri načelih starejše cecilijanske generacije (zgledovanje pri vokalni polifoniji 16. st.) do zahtev po ustvarjalni svobodi in napredku sredi dvajsetih letih. Ob tem pa tudi tu ostaja zavezan izhodiščnemu cecilijanskemu načelu po primatu cerkvenih predpisov, saj svoje zavzemanje za avtonomijo umetnosti paradoksalno relativizira z vztrajanjem pri omejitvah, ki jih ti določajo. Zato lahko tudi ta del njegove cerkveno-glasbene estetike razumemo predvsem kot nadgradnjo tradicije, sproženo z Motu proprio Pija X., in ne kot odmik od cececilijanstva.

Published: November 2021

This research work examined the use of digital elevation model in the evaluation of groundwater resources in Kuje Area, Nigeria. This was achieved through the acquisition of topographic maps, Digitization of the topographic maps which were glued and interpolated to generate Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and Mapping of groundwater potential areas using ArcGIS 9.2 and ArcView 3.2a software. Findings from this research show that the study area have elevations ranging from 333 m to 429 m above sea level with a moderate groundwater potential in areas with elevation ranging from 286 m and 333 m above sea level. Some areas also have ground water problem, these areas were classified as mountainous areas and are located at very high elevations. The rocky nature of the high elevated environment makes these areas have very little hope of assessing groundwater. It was suggested that government should properly monitor groundwater, inhabitants should be made to accept laws which will help them in the conservation of ground water resources and efforts should also be made by the government towards creating incentives that will encourage people to obey these laws, Conservation methods such as retardation of surface runoff, control of vegetation and groundwater withdrawal rates should be employed.
Assessment of the Extent and Causes of Fuelwood Collection in the Surrounding Communities of Kasewe Reserved Forest, Sierra Leone
Authors: Koroma A.H. , Mansaray A. , Sesay A.
Published: November 2021

Seven (7) communities living in and around the Kasewe forest reserved were sampled to assess the extent and causes of fuelwood collection from the reserved forest involving 50 individuals in stratified random technique with a view to evaluate the degree and reasons for fuelwood collection from the Kasewe reserved forest. Data obtained indicate a high frequency of fuelwood harvest in the forest throughout the year. The significant factors affecting such decisions were availability and accessibility, ensure fast cooking process, and cost-effective. In addition, fuelwood activities were intensive throughout the year but peaks late dry season. Hence 48 (96%) of respondents stated forest degradation as one of the significant threats posed by fuelwood collectors to the forest. The study indicates that 100% of the collector are unemployed this was mainly the reason why residents of those communities collect fuelwood from the reserved forest. However, this study concluded that fuelwood collectors were selective over the kind of species they harvest, but the preferred species were not replanted. Fuelwood in the study area is not restricted to domestic use as it is also sold to augment local income. The sale of fuelwood is probably the biggest threat to sustainable utilization of fuelwood and the forest. Therefore, this study recommends that alternatives sources of livelihood and energy be created, among other recommendations for resident communities that will reduce the frequency of harvest from the forest.
Time-Fluid Field-Based Coordination through Programmable Distributed Schedulers
Authors: Pianini Danilo , Casadei Roberto , Viroli Mirko , Mariani Stefano , Zambonelli Franco
Published: November 2021

Emerging application scenarios, such as cyber-physical systems (CPSs), the
Internet of Things (IoT), and edge computing, call for coordination approaches
addressing openness, self-adaptation, heterogeneity, and deployment
agnosticism. Field-based coordination is one such approach, promoting the idea
of programming system coordination declaratively from a global perspective, in
terms of functional manipulation and evolution in "space and time" of
distributed data structures called fields. More specifically regarding time, in
field-based coordination (as in many other distributed approaches to
coordination) it is assumed that local activities in each device are regulated
by a fair and unsynchronised fixed clock working at the platform level. In this
work, we challenge this assumption, and propose an alternative approach where
scheduling is programmed in a natural way (along with usual field-based
coordination) in terms of causality fields, each enacting a programmable
distributed notion of a computation "cause" (why and when a field computation
has to be locally computed) and how it should change across time and space.
Starting from low-level platform triggers, such causality fields can be
organised into multiple layers, up to high-level, collectively-computed time
abstractions, to be used at the application level. This reinterpretation of
time in terms of articulated causality relations allows us to express what we
call "time-fluid" coordination, where scheduling can be finely tuned so as to
select the triggers to react to, generally allowing to adaptively balance
performance (system reactivity) and cost (resource usage) of computations. We
formalise the proposed scheduling framework for field-based coordination in the
context of the field calculus, discuss an implementation in the aggregate
computing framework, and finally evaluate the approach via simulation on
several case studies.

Enterprises are both an emerging force in national reform and a major force in its future economic development. The professors in China and on abroad have do much research on enterprise development and put forward lots of valuable theories. P systems have been proposed for about 14 years, and its applications refer to numbers of areas. However, to investigate the survival and development of firms in the aspect of P systems is rarely. In this study, it makes analysis on the survival and development of small and medium-sized enterprises in an aspect of bionics, trying to find out the origin which makes the enterprise exuberant and everlasting. Have the enterprises compare to biological cells and construct a membrane framework in order to interpret an enterprise’s survival. At the same time it also highlights the irreplaceable role of enterprise DNA in the inheritance of the enterprise entity.
An Invariant Three-polar Representation for R3 Surfaces: Robustness and Accuracy for 3D Faces Description
Authors: Jribi Majdi , Ghorbel Faouzi
Published: November 2021

In this paper, we intend to introduce a new curved surface representation that we qualify by three-polar. It is constructed by the superposition of the three geodesic potentials generated from three reference points of the surface. By considering a pre-selected levels set of this superposition, invariant points are obtained. The accuracy of the three-polar representation for 3D human faces description is performed in the mean of the Hausdorff distance. A comparison between this representation and the one based on the level curves around the nose tip is established in the sense of the robustness under errors on the nose tip positions.

By examining networks is possible to understand the nature of inter-firm relationships among organizational entities in any given corporate group, such as Toyota’s, Nissan’s or Mazda’s Keiretsu. Recently, a new three-dimensional spatial model has been developed that allows organizational scholars to ascertain the structure of a corporate group, the position of the individual firms, and the determinants of the firm performance. This new spatial paradigm –called the DEC spatial model– composed of degree, effective size and capacity that assessed the relationship between Euclidean distance and sales. Although it advances our understanding of networks, the bulk of the research is based on cross-sectional data, it is not possible ascertain the real nature of the relationship between the distance and sales. Instead, the analysis of networks requires using time series data as all the corporate members of a network are ongoing- concerns. To augment our understanding of the nature of inter-firms networks, the interrelationship between distance and sales is examined using time series data drawn from Mazda’s Yokokai in 1986, 2004 and 2005. More specifically, in this paper the data on transactions were collected and used to calculate the Euclidean distance using the DEC spatial model. The position and its determinants of all individual firms are identified and the trend of structure changes is discussed. Based on the findings of offered and avenues of future research are suggested.

Telecommunications and computer equipment centralisation trends for the purpose of achieving economic benefits, usage of technological innovations and new technical solutions implementation leads to the requirements for building bigger Data Centres (DCs). An increase in the size of the DC facility i.e. the number of racks inside occupied with equipment and the number of devices that enables the proper functioning of that equipment leads to necessarily power energy requirements increasing for power supply. For the DCs that require a large amount of energy, the building of their own, usually renewable energy sources (RES) is cost-effective. In such a caser, RES are primary and Power System (PS) is secondary and redundant power source. A concept of a DC primary powered from RES is presented in this paper. Generated electrical energy in RES is transmitted in PS through high voltage switch-gears (SGs) while DC is power supplied from PS through low voltage, medium voltage and high voltage SG-s. For the purpose of realisation of such facility, it is necessary to enable adequate conditions related to geographical location, physical access to the facility, possibility of connecting to the PS and possibility of connecting to the telecommunications centres. Based on carried out researches related to RESs potential, available roads, power supply infrastructure and telecommunication infrastructure, development conditions for DC on location near to Belgrade, close to power transformer station „Belgrade 20“ are analysed in this paper. From the aspect of DC power supply, proposed solution includes wind farm, solar plant and landfill gas power plant, as well as related SGs. Telecommunication connections from DC to the PS and other important telecommunication centres are provided. These connections are realised through optical cables placed next to the electrical lines and cables, and, when that is not possible, placed independently in the ground. The design of the DC interior is given and calculations of the required electrical energy for the power supply of the equipment and devices in the facility are performed. Based on calculation results, capacity calculation of the RES and calculation of SGs are performed. Design of the interior optical connections inside DC is also given. A General assessment of the investment and economics of building such DC are given at the end of the paper.

Faced with forthcoming international obligations related to climate change mitigation measures, primarily planned to be reflected through the Law and Action Plan on Low Carbon Development Strategy, as well as the Law on Climate Change, all of which are currently being defined and adopted, Serbia is increasingly facing a need to switch its coal-fired facilities to alternative, environmentally more acceptable options. The related measures will have to be implemented much sooner than initially planned. Knowing that 80% of national GHG emissions originate from the energy sector, as well as that the dominant portion of those emissions results from the use of locally available coal, it is clear that the most efficient climate change mitigation measure would be a switch to alternative fuel options. However, having in mind that such an energy transition process is coupled with significant technological, environmental, economic, social, and other difficulties, the EU has initiated several projects, and one of them is TRACER, launched under the Horizon 2020 program, that strives to shed light on the best research and innovation strategies facilitating easier transition to the sustainable, low carbon energy system. The project addresses actions across nine coal-intensive European regions, including Kolubara Region in Serbia. The paper presents technological, environmental, and social challenges in the transition process, with an emphasis on the Kolubara region, and a proposal for the energy transition in Serbia respecting R&I strategies and Smart Specialization.
Classificação e fisiopatologia da osteoporose
Authors: Lopes Jaqueline Barros , Pereira Rosa Maria Rodrigues
Published: November 2021

Do ponto de vista clínico, a osteoporose pode ser classificada em primária e secundária (Tabela 1).
A osteoporose primária pode ocorrer em qualquer fase da vida, entretanto, é uma apresentação rara em crianças pré-púberes (osteoporose juvenil idiopática). Ocasionalmente, acomete adultos jovens, com amplo espectro clínico, sem preferência por sexo (osteoporose idiopática do adulto jovem). De modo geral, a maioria dos pacientes com osteoporose primária apresenta o primeiro sintoma na sexta década de vida ou mais tarde, quando já houve perda de 30% a 40% da massa óssea, sendo denominada de osteoporose involucional (pós-
-menopausa ou senil) (Tabela 1). No início de 1980, a osteoporose involucional era subclassificada em dois tipos: pós-menopausa (tipo 1) e osteoporose senil (tipo 2), com fisiopatologias distintas. A osteoporose tipo 1 era caracterizada como uma osteoporose de alto remodelamento ósseo, com consequente perda óssea acelerada. Já a osteoporose tipo 2 apresentava um baixo remodelamento ósseo. Em 1998, essa subclassificação foi revista e chamada apenas osteoporose involucional.
A forma secundária pode ser resultante de diversas doenças, condições ou uso de medicações, e a osteoporose induzida pelo glicocorticoide é a que merece maior atenção, devido a sua alta frequência (Tabela 1).
Este estudo abordará a fisiopatologia da osteoporose involucional (pós-menopausa e senil) e da osteoporose induzida por glicocorticoides. Pretendemos resumir aqui a riqueza de informações para que o leitor possa compreender os avanços na concepção da fisiopatologia da osteoporose até o momento. Para tal, vários aspectos serão discutidos separadamente.
Queda em idosos

As quedas constituem um importante problema de saúde pública devido a sua alta incidência entre pessoas com idade igual ou superior a 65 anos, ocorrendo pelo menos uma vez ao ano. Este problema é tido como a principal causa de complicações e ferimentos, fatais ou não, nessa população, sendo responsável por um aumento significativo nos gastos com a saúde (1  ,2,  3). Em 2000, aproximadamente US$  19 bilhões da verba para saúde foram utilizados em problemas decorrentes de quedas (4).
De acordo com dados da literatura, as quedas ocorrem em mais de 30% dos idosos da comunidade e 40% deles têm idade acima de 80 anos, enquanto em idosos institucionalizados essa frequência é maior, ultrapassando 50% (1,  2,  3,  4,  5).
As quedas representam o acidente mais comum da vida diária e são a principal causa de morte acidental nos idosos. A taxa de mortalidade devida a quedas é de 10 em 100 mil pessoas na faixa etária de 65 a 74 anos e de 147 em 100 mil pessoas com 85 anos ou mais; somente no ano de 2006, as mortes decorrentes de quedas em idosos somaram 16 mil (1,  2,  4).
