A sífilis congênita ainda ocupa um espaço importante entre os desfechos negativos durante a gestação e é também uma das causas básicas de óbito infantil. Para efeito de classificação, apresenta dois estágios: precoce, diagnosticada até dois anos de vida e tardia. É uma doença infecciosa, sistêmica e hematogênica, transmitida por via transplacentária, de progressão crônica e de âmbito mundial, causada pelo Treponema pallidum. Está presente em um contexto de causa perinatal evitável, pois é possível realizar o diagnóstico precoce, bem como o tratamento durante a gestação. Segundo dados do Ministério da Saúde, a transmissão vertical da sífilis é a que possui uma das maiores taxas durante o ciclo gravídico puerpural. A identificação e a qualidade da assistência à gestação e ao parto são fundamentais na redução da transmissão vertical, bem como importantes indicadores de saúde e atenção materna. Embora a sífilis seja uma doença conhecida há séculos, de tratamento eficaz e barato, é grande o número de gestantes que não estão sujeitas às ações propostas pelo Programa de Humanização do Pré-Natal e Nascimento em relação ao controle e prevenção da transmissão vertical. Apesar de não ser uma doença restrita às camadas sociais mais baixas, o cenário nacional demonstra significativa prevalência intimamente relacionada com fatores socioeconômicos e baixa escolaridade. Assim, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar as vias transmissórias e investigar os desafios que dificultam a adesão ao tratamento. A transmissão transplacentária pode ocorrer em qualquer estágio da gestação e pode ser determinada pelo estágio clínico em que a mãe se encontra (primária, secundária, latente tardia e terciária), e pela duração da exposição no útero. Ainda, se houver lesões genitais maternas, há possibilidade de transmissão na hora do parto. Ainda, durante o aleitamento, o risco se dá somente se houver lesões mamárias. Entretanto, as chances de contágio, mediante tratamento, caem de 70 a 100% para 30% mesmo nas fases tardias de infecção. Em crianças infectadas a partir de mães não tratadas, ocorre aborto espontâneo, natimorto ou morte perinatal em aproximadamente 40% dos indivíduos. Se a sífilis é adquirida na gravidez poderá haver infecção assintomática ou sintomática nos recém-nascidos. Essa qualidade da doença fez com que Carrara  (p. 46) dissesse  que "se a sífilis se propaga tão amplamente é em grande parte por ser invisível". Mais da metade das crianças infectadas são assintomáticas ao nascimento, podendo apresentar os primeiros sintomas nos 3 meses de vida. Para ser evitada a descoberta tardia, é conduzida na maternidade a triagem sorológica.

Published: August 2024

O trauma é uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade infantil em países desenvolvidos e no Brasil. Entre as crianças, os traumas crânioencefálicos (TCEs), objeto desse estudo, são referidos como a principal causa de morte em resultado de acidentes traumáticos. Com isso, a Sociedade Brasileira de Neurocirurgia criou o “Projeto Pense Bem” para a prevenção do traumatismo crânioencefálico, a partir da conscientização da população. Nesse sentido, o estudo visa avaliar a utilização do referido projeto como alternativa de educação em saúde voltada para prevenção do trauma cranioencefálico na infância e adolescência. Dessa forma, questiona-se: Como o Projeto Pense Bem pode se estabelecer como ação de educação em saúde voltado para crianças e adolescentes? O que vem sendo discutido no meio acadêmico acerca dessa temática? O caminho metodológico se ancora nas dimensões da pesquisa-científica propostas por Novikoff (2010), revisão de literatura e revisão sistemática realizada na base de dados Google Acadêmico, com artigos publicados entre 2015 e 2019 e que abordavam a utilização do “Projeto Pense Bem” como método de conscientização sobre o TCE. Como resultados, foram encontrados um total 182 trabalhos, e destes apenas e quatro artigos foram selecionados para análise. Dentre eles, dois traziam a abordagem do projeto voltada para crianças entre 9 e 12, sendo evidenciado um aumento significativo do conhecimento das crianças após a realização da conscientização, principalmente com relação ao uso de capacetes. O terceiro estudo selecionado era voltado para conscientização da população adulta com relação ao acidente automobilístico, apresentaram aumento no número absoluto de acidentes, porém o impacto do projeto verificou-se pela redução da gravidade do trauma das vítimas. E por fim, um que apresentava projetos com o objetivo de conscientização da população sobre o trauma deveriam ser implantados a partir de ações das ligas acadêmicas de medicina em parceria com a sociedade. Nesse sentido, podemos constatar que o TCE é assunto de elevada relevância em todas as idades e de especial importância na pediatria, haja vista o elevado número de vítimas fatais e que apresentam, após o ocorrido, alguma sequela. Contudo, ressaltamos a importância do fomento e divulgação científica de ações de educação em saúde como instrumento de prevenção.

A impressão tridimensional (3D) é uma forma de fabricação aditiva, processo pelo qual utiliza sucessivas camadas de matéria prima para a criação de um modelo 3D desejado, isso permite que não haja resíduos ou desperdício de material, possibilitando construir um objeto em qualquer formato, conforme definido em um arquivo CAD. Essa tecnologia tem o seu uso cada vez maior na medicina. Por se tratar de um sistema que permite a personalização do cuidado com o paciente é essencial trazer ao ambiente médico mais elucidações e conhecimentos sobre o assunto. Por isso, este artigo tem por objetivo compreender o funcionamento da impressora 3D, a importância dos seus usos na medicina, avaliar o quanto essa tecnologia pode beneficiar o paciente, sua saúde e entender as barreiras que ainda envolvem essa prática. Este estudo consistiu numa pesquisa bibliográfica exploratória de materiais já publicados, de abordagem qualitativa sobre a utilização da Impressora 3D na medicina, realizada entre agosto de 2017 a junho de 2019, no qual foi utilizada a busca de artigos científicos no banco de dados do ScIELO, do PubMed e da BIREME, sendo selecionados um total de 30 artigos. Os artigos encontrados referem-se às funções e tipos da impressora 3D, o seu uso na medicina, assim como as suas vantagens e restrições na sua utilidade. Assim, constatamos que a principal vantagem da impressão 3D é a produção de equipamentos, produtos médicos e tecidos humanos personalizados. Mostra-se vantajosa para a confecção de objetos feitos em pequena escala ou que possuem complexidade elevada, bem como eficiente na economia de recursos. Pode-se concluir também, que apesar de constituir grande avanço tecnológico, ainda são pouco utilizadas para a impressão de órgãos vivos devido ao manejo de materiais resistentes e viscosos e a ineficaz vascularização. Apesar das dificuldades apresentadas, portanto, essa tecnologia se mostrou uma técnica promissora que tende a solucionar questões de difícil manejo na formação acadêmica e rotina médica.
Panorama do Sarampo no Brasil
Authors: Nascimento M. A. , Silva N. G. , Silva M. C. P. , Oliveira M. C. P. , Cardoso M. D. T.
Published: August 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: O sarampo é uma doença infecciosa aguda, de natureza viral, grave, transmitida por aerossóis ao falar, tossir ou espirrar, é extremamente contagiosa, mas pode ser prevenida pela vacina. As complicações infecciosas contribuem para a gravidade da doença, particularmente em crianças desnutridas e menores de um ano de idade. Em 2016, o Brasil recebeu o certificado de eliminação da circulação do vírus do sarampo. Atualmente, o país enfrenta dois surtos, em Roraima e Amazonas, mas já é visível o aumento do número de casos em outros estados do país. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a prevalência, caracterizar sintomas e identificar aspectos individuais e sociais relacionados à ocorrência dos surtos. METODOLOGIA: Coleta e análise de dados acerca da incidência de casos de sarampo pelo Ministério da Saúde e DATASUS, além de revisão de literatura usando as bases de dados Scielo, Pubmed e Google Acadêmico para a contextualização do presente trabalho. DISCUSSÃO: Devido ao reaparecimento de casos de sarampo após período de remissão, torna-se imprescindível retomar o estudo sobre o tema. Atualmente, segundo último boletim informativo publicado pelo Ministério da Saúde, além dos surtos de sarampo nos estados do Amazonas e Roraima, nove Unidades Federadas também confirmaram casos de sarampo, totalizando 10.302 casos confirmados no ano de 2018. Em relação à caracterização viral foi identificado o genótipo D8, idêntico ao que está circulando na Venezuela, em todos os estados com casos confirmados de sarampo, com exceção de dois casos: um caso do Rio Grande do Sul, que viajou para a Europa e importou o genótipo B3, e outro caso de São Paulo com genótipo D8, com história de viagem ao Líbano, sem qualquer relação com os surtos da Venezuela e Brasil. CONCLUSÃO: A crise política e econômica da Venezuela e, por consequência, a imigração de uma parcela de sua população para a região de fronteira com o Brasil, juntamente com o isolamento do vírus de genótipo D8 colaboram com a epidemiologia do surto brasileiro estar interligado com o surto venezuelano. Casos importados, apesar de raros, ocorrem pela globalização e facilidade de locomoção, sendo indispensável a vacinação.

A educação médica é uma área de importância inquestionável e os estudos na área tem crescido significativamente, tanto nacionalmente quanto internacionalmente. Acompanhar os processos de avaliação na educação médica permite identificar os objetivos almejados por instituições de ensino e de pesquisa, pelas políticas públicas e entidades de classe, assim como as principais estratégias utilizadas. O Projeto “Metavaliação na Educação Médica” tem como objetivo analisar os processos avaliativos utilizados na educação médica (provas de cursos de medicina, de programas de residência médica, Revalida, ENADE, entre outros) buscando compreender sua estrutura e organização e sua adequação aos objetivos da formação médica, ao perfil profissional esperado e à legislação. O grupo de pesquisa é constituído de um professor médico, uma psicóloga da educação e quatro alunos do curso de medicina. A equipe de trabalho implementou ações de avaliação de processos avaliativos em diferentes níveis (provas do curso de medicina, provas de residência e revalida) cujos relatos foram apresentados em congressos e revistas científicas da área da educação e da educação médica. A análise possibilitou compreender a diversidade de formato das diferentes avaliações analisadas, considerando que a formação é mais voltada para os aspectos conceituais, enquanto as provas de residência, apesar de muito heterogêneas, possuem uma ênfase maior no raciocínio clínico, o que se apresenta de forma ainda mais contundente no Revalida. Conhecer as demandas fora das portas da universidade facilita no planejamento de ações para a melhoria da educação médica, que vem como um tema de grande importância e de larga discussão nos dias atuais. Para o acadêmico que se insere em um projeto onde o pilar de sustentação é a metacognição, o ganho passa a ser além do aprendizado médico. Reconhecer e estruturar a forma como a própria aprendizagem é realizada, auxilia esse acadêmico a direcionar melhor o seu aprender e de forma direta, o coloca como protagonista do seu processo ensino-aprendizagem. Ao reconhecer uma escala de aprendizagem, o acadêmico dimensiona seu raciocínio clínico no que tange as diversas formas com que o conhecimento pode ser cobrado, como compreensão de conceitos, análise de dados, síntese de uma história clínica e o Julgamento de uma conduta adequada.
Perfil Clínico e Epidemiológico na Esporotricose

Published: August 2024

A esporotricose é uma micose causada pelo fungo Sporothrix schenckii e conhecida popularmente como “doença do gato” por esse ser o animal de maior responsabilidade sobre a propagação da doença no ciclo urbano. É a micose subcutânea mais comum da América Latina e, no Brasil, há algumas áreas de maior incidência. Foi realizado o esboço epidemiológico da esporotricose nos estados de maior acometimento, uma fundamentação teórica com revisão bibliográfica a fim de elucidar o ciclo da doença e a fisiopatologia da doença em questão, além da uma idealização de uma meta para promoção de saúde e controle da micose. A transmissão para o homem ocorre no contato do gato portador do S. schenkii com o humano que tenha algum ferimento prévio na pele, ou então com o “arranhar” das patas do felino portador no tecido cutâneo do indivíduo atingido. A forma clínica mais comum é a forma localizada, restrita à pele, tecido celular subcutâneo e vasos linfáticos adjacentes, e nos imunocomprometidos, a generalizada, que pode acometer qualquer tecido, principalmente pulmões e ossos. A incidência da doença tem aumentado e, com a mudança do perfil demográfico da população brasileira houve uma mudança na população mais frequentemente atingida. Antes havia um predomínio dos casos em homens com idade acima de 50 anos (relacionado à vida rural). Atualmente, há predomínio em mulheres, na idade adulta produtiva, porém fora do mercado de trabalho. O maior número de casos tem ocorrido, em primeiro lugar, no Rio de Janeiro, com epidemias na capital e na baixada fluminense. Em segundo lugar, em São Paulo, com surtos na Grande São Paulo. E, em terceiro lugar, em Pernambuco, com surtos na região metropolitana de Recife. Entretanto, os casos suspeitos de esporotricose humana são de notificação compulsória apenas nos estados do Rio de Janeiro (desde 2013) e Pernambuco (desde 2016) e deverão ser notificados e registrados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN). O aumento progressivo da incidência de casos da pode ser explicado pela escassez de ações em saúde para o controle e a prevenção da patologia em questão. Por isso, uma meta para o melhoramento dessa deficiência seria a realização de um folheto autoexplicativo sobre a esporotricose de modo que a população, principalmente das áreas mais acometidas, possam ter um maior conhecimento sobre a doença bem como uma maior lucidez em como preveni-la e quando suspeitar de uma possível infecção. Além disso, implementar a notificação compulsória em território nacional para quantificar o impacto e traçar estratégias de controle.

Published: August 2024

This research presents a machine learning approach to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent job postings in the recruiting sector. The dataset used, labelled as 'authentic list,' comprises approximately 17,880 entries from Kaggle and includes various attributes such as job title, location, salary range, company profile, job description, industry, and indicators of fraudulent activity in job advertisements. The proposed methodology begins with Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to gain insights into the multi-class classification of different features and to identify correlations within the dataset. Data pre-processing techniques, including Natural Language Processing (NLP), are employed to prepare the datasets for training and testing. Several machine learning algorithms such as K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Naive Bayes, and AdaBoost are used to classify job listings as legitimate or fraudulent. The performance of each classifier is evaluated using qualitative metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, selectivity, and specificity. The results show the effectiveness of the system, achieving an accuracy of 99.20% in classifying job postings using the Random Forest classifier.

Embracing Nature's Therapeutic Potential: Herbal Medicine
Authors: Jamal Ahmad
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the significant relationship between nature and human well-being, proposing for the incorporation of nature-based therapies into modern healthcare procedures. In a society dominated by technology and fast-paced living, the need to reconnect with nature and embrace its therapeutic power has never been more pressing. The paper emphasizes the inherent connection between humans and the natural environment, drawing on evolutionary history and scientific research that indicate nature's positive impact on mental, emotional, and physical health. The concept of nature-based therapies, such as ecotherapy, horticultural therapy, forest bathing, wilderness therapy, and nature meditation, lies at the heart of this holistic approach to healing. Each of these therapies uses natural ingredients to promote healing and well-being, responding to individual requirements and developing a sense of connection with the natural environment. The report delves into the unique benefits of each nature-based therapy, emphasizing its usefulness in lowering stress, increasing mood, enhancing cognitive function, and strengthening the immune system. This comprehensive approach to healthcare, with a focus on prevention, personalized care, and root-cause investigation, is in sync with the concepts of nature-based therapies. The incorporation of herbal medicine into modern healthcare supplements this approach by providing natural and gentle healing therapies that target the full person—mind, body, and spirit. The report also underlines the significance of the biophilia concept, which emphasizes humans' inherent affinity for nature. Embracing nature's therapeutic potential not only increases personal well-being but also instills a sense of responsibility for environmental protection and sustainability. The greater connection individuals create with nature through nature-based therapies fosters a heightened respect for the natural environment, encouraging a dedication to safeguard it for future generations. As the future of healthcare develops, embracing nature's therapeutic potential serves as a light of hope and transformation. The incorporation of nature-based therapies into current healthcare procedures provides an inclusive and holistic approach that improves conventional treatments, empowers patients in their healing path, and promotes general well-being.

Food Security Situation in Ghana and a Comparative Analysis with Neighboring Countries
Authors: Debrah Benjamin
Published: August 2024

The Global Food Security Index (GFSI) conducted yearly by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), provides a common framework for understanding the root causes of food insecurity by looking at the dynamics of food systems around the world. In order to measure level of food security, various indicators have been defined. The Global Food Security Index (GFSI) is an indicator that measures the level of food security of individual countries and allows comparison between them. The aim of this seminar paper is to analyze the state of food security and its individual dimensions in Ghana and a comparative analysis with selected neighboring countries (Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Togo and Nigeria) in the Global Food Security Index (GFSI) 2012 – 2021 with the key focus on the 2021 GFSI. The current GFSI data for 2021 revealed that Ghana was best ranked among the selected neighboring countries at the 82nd position, while Nigeria was the worst ranked at the 97th position (out of 113 countries). Also, Ghana took the 4th position within the Sub-Saharan African countries and 2nd position within the West African sub-region. In addition, a comparative analysis on the overall ranking of Ghana and neighboring countries according to GFSI for the past decade (2012 – 2021) gives an obvious indication that Ghana had been leading the neighboring countries in terms of food security since the inception of the GFSI. Meanwhile, it can be concluded that there is the need for food security improvement in Ghana despite its leading role within the West African sub-region. The following were observed as weaknesses in ensuring food security in Ghana: lack of water and lack of adequate policies to ensure food security and political commitment to adaptation, followed by significant food loss, and undiversified diet. It is recommended that the government of Ghana will adequately resource the various institutions responsible for food security issues such as the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MOFA) and National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) in order to ensure a sustainable food secured country.

When the pandemic struck the country, a new tax law called the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises (CREATE) Act was introduced. This study aimed to determine the perceived impact of the CREATE Law on microenterprise pharmacies in Nueva Vizcaya in the first semester of AY 2023-2024. Specifically, this research sought to determine the profile of the respondents; the perceived impact of the CREATE Law on microenterprise pharmacies in terms of business growth, factors affecting their operation, and taxes that most affected them; if there was a significant difference between the perceived impact on the pharmacies when grouped according to their profile; and the challenges the pharmacies experienced during the pandemic wherein the CREATE Law was able to help them resolve those problems and how. This study used the quantitative-qualitative method and data was gathered through survey questionnaires. The results showed that the majority of the respondents have not completed a business-related course while most of them have been operating for at least 10 years. The researchers also found out that the CREATE Law had a positive impact on business growth and factors affecting their operation but not taxes that most affected the pharmacies. Additionally, there was no significant difference in the perceived impact of the CREATE Law on the pharmacies when grouped according to their profile. Lastly, the challenges the pharmacies experienced during the pandemic were operational restrictions, market access, supply chain disruptions, and increased expenses. The pharmacies adhered to pandemic measures for business continuity and also experienced financial stability amidst market shifts. However, there was only a limited impact of tax exemptions. Overall, the CREATE Law had a limited impact on the pharmacies.

Strategic Acceptance of Queer Sexuality: A Critique
Authors: S Pillai Rachana , Sreenivasulu Yadamala
Published: August 2024

Queer sexuality and gender fluidity threaten the domination of heteronormative power structures. Gender fluidity dismantles the argument that gender is innately a binary structure, and reinstates that it is only an integration of performative acts. Once individual bodies start to experiment with gender fluidity, they shatter the manipulative control social institutions exercise over them. This is a drastic shift in power positions, as it uproots the hegemony associated with social institutions, such as family, marriage, and the economy. A pragmatically possible response to this manipulative encroachment of the individual body is to strategically undertake queer identity and present how gender performance is a personal choice of identity, rather than a pre-assigned norm. Jacob Tobia's Sissy: A Coming of-Gender Story and Billy Porter's Unprotected: A Memoir are two autobiographical accounts that boldly narrate their journey of self-doubt, acceptance, anger, retaliation, and proclamation to the world that gender binarity is a social and cultural construct, and that experimentation with gender fluidity should be a guilt-free personal liberty. Through these two autobiographical texts, this study investigates how body politics operate as a strategic tool for cis-conditioning. It also explores how queer sexual expressions reaffirm gender performance. Further, this study investigates whether strategic acknowledgement of gender fluidity is a possible response to heteronormative body politics. Finally, it discusses the scope of affirmative body politics, which is less authoritarian in nature and designed for individual advancement and better life.
Biomimetic Airfoil Optimization to Supplement Flight Efficiency in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Authors: Hegde Dhruv V
Published: August 2024

Purpose: This study aims to enhance the performance of wing-based unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by incorporating avian-inspired features into the airfoil and air profile designs. Traditional UAVs with fixed high-aspect-ratio airfoils face limitations in adaptability and efficiency, particularly in dynamic flight conditions with high Reynolds numbers. These limitations include inefficient lift generation, rapid fuel depletion during transitions, premature stalling during altitude changes, and maneuvering vulnerabilities.
Methodology: The study involves an in-depth analysis of avian exoskeletons, features, and supracoracoideus muscles to identify and adapt specific biomimetic features. These features were modeled using computer-aided design (CAD) software, resulting in a design that includes feathered wing modules as vortex dividers and a novel morphing airfoil system with servo and rotary systems. The performance of these biomimetic designs was evaluated through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, wind tunnel testing, and mathematical modeling, focusing on their impact in subsonic, critical environments with Reynolds numbers ranging from 50,000 to 500,000.
Findings: Integrating avian-inspired features into UAV airfoils resulted in a synergistic improvement in aerodynamic performance. The study's simulations and tests indicate a 19.4% overall enhancement in flight efficiency, demonstrating the theoretical feasibility of these biomimetic designs in improving UAV performance under dynamic conditions. This research introduces innovative biomimetic design principles to UAV technology, providing several key advantages over traditional designs. The proposed models significantly reduce shearing stress, minimizing material wear and degradation over time. Additionally, these designs can be more automated, offering greater adaptability for the airfoil itself. This adaptability allows for enhanced performance across various flight conditions, reducing maintenance needs and increasing the operational lifespan of UAVs.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The findings offer valuable insights for future UAV designs, potentially influencing policy and regulations related to UAV performance standards and energy efficiency.

Published: August 2024

The COVID-19 epidemic continues to spread around the world. The climate crisis, environmental problems and ecological problems are gradually internationalized and globalized. The global governance of climate problems is facing great challenges and needs to be reformed. Against this background, the book after the blockade reflects on people's living conditions during the epidemic period, showing the transformation process of social individuals after the blockade. It discusses the political, ethical and even cosmological conflicts in the human world in the form. of philosophical fables and metaphors, analyzes the essence of the relationship between man and nature from the perspective of Gaia's political ecological view, and explores the rationality of the relationship between man and nature. The author emphasizes that the life entity on the earth is increasingly controlled and threatened by human beings, and it is necessary to rebuild the internal relationship between human and nature, science and politics, facts and values, and to explore good solutions to the ecological crisis. Latour, taking the actor network theory as the main line, proposed to transcend other symmetry principles in the “strong program”, advocated the opening of the actor Parliament and the ecological Utopia, and initiated the institutional reform. of reconstructing Gaia. However, he did not fully demonstrate and provide more details on the setting of actors in the institutional construction. This book provides an enlightening political ecological view for better building the life community between human and nature on the basis of understanding the activity states and combination modes of different actors.
