Authors: Bhadra Sampa Rani , Pradhan Ashok Kumar , Biswas Utpal
Published: June 2021

For the last few decades, fiber optic cables not only replaced copper cables but also made drastic evolution in the technology to overcome the optoelectronic bandwidth mismatch. Light trail concept is such an attempt to minimize the optoelectronic bandwidth gap between actual WDM bandwidth and end user access bandwidth. A light trail is an optical bus that connects two nodes of an all optical WDM network. In this paper, we studied the concept of split light trail and proposed an algorithm namely Static Multi-Hop Split Light Trail Assignment (SMSLTA), which aims to minimize blocking probability, the number of static split light trails assigned and also the number of network resources used, at the same time maximizing the network throughput. Our proposed algorithm works competently with the existing algorithms and generates better performance in polynomial time complexity.

‘With the help of powerful image editing software, various image modifications are possible which are known as image forgeries. Copy-move is the easiest way of image manipulation, wherein an area of the image is copied and replicated in the same image. The major reason for performing this forgery is to conceal undesirable contents of the image. Thus, means are required to unveil the presence of duplicated areas in an image. In this article, an effective and efficient approach for copy-move forgery detection (CMFD) is proposed, which is based on stationary wavelet transform (SWT), speeded-up robust features (SURF), and a novel scaled density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (sDBSCAN) clustering. The SWT allows the SURF descriptor to extract only energy-rich features from the input image. The SURF features can detect the tampered regions even under post-processing attacks like contrast adjustment, scaling, and affine transformation on the images. On the extracted features, a novel scaled density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (sDBSCAN) clustering algorithm is applied to detect forged regions with high accuracy as it can easily identify the clusters of arbitrary shapes and sizes and can filter the outliers. For performance evaluation, three publicly available datasets namely MICC-F220, MICC-F2000, and image manipulation dataset (IMD) are employed. The qualitative and quantitative analysis demonstrates that the proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art CMFD approaches in the presence of different post-processing attacks.
Bidirectional projection method for multi-attribute group decision making under probabilistic uncertain linguistic environment
Authors: He Yan , Wei Guiwu , Chen Xudong , Wei Yu
Published: June 2021

The financial products selection in the financial services sector is a traditional multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problem. Probabilistic uncertain linguistic sets (PULTSs) could be used to evaluate the financial products with uncertain linguistic terms and corresponding weights (probabilistic). The bidirectional projection (BP) method could take the bidirectional projection values into account. In this paper, we develop an integration model of information entropy and BP method under PULTSs. First of all, utilizing information entropy derives the priority weights of attributes. Next, utilizing the BP method of the PULTSs to obtain the final ranking of the alternatives. To depict the BP method, the formative vectors of two alternatives are defined, and a weighted vector model and inner product are improved under the PULTSs. In addition, through giving the case of financial products selection and some existing MAGDM methods for comparative analysis, it is proved that the method is practical and effective. The proposed approach also contributes to the effective selection of appropriate options in other decision-making matters.
An optimization model of cross-docking scheduling of cold chain logistics based on fuzzy time window
Authors: Lian Jie
Published: June 2021

In order to improve the distribution efficiency of cold chain logistics and reduce the distribution cost, an optimization model of cross-docking scheduling of cold chain logistics based on fuzzy time window is constructed. According to the complexity of cold chain logistics network, a multi-objective optimization model of cross-docking scheduling of cold chain logistics vehicle routing with fuzzy time window is established. In order to ensure the lowest total cost of cold chain logistics distribution and improve the overall customer satisfaction with service time, the Drosophila optimization algorithm is used to solve the model to obtain the optimal vehicle routing of cross-docking scheduling optimization of cold chain logistics. The simulation test results show that: after the application of the model, the cold chain logistics distribution time is significantly shortened, the distribution cost is significantly reduced, the damage cost is reduced, the carbon emission of vehicles is reduced, and the economic and low-carbon benefits are significantly improved, which can be used as an effective tool to solve the cross-docking scheduling optimization problem of cold chain logistics.
A novel energy management strategy to reduce gird dependency using electric vehicles storage in coordination with solar power
Authors: Ramalingeswar J.T. , Subramanian K.
Published: June 2021

The effective coordination of solar photovoltaic (solar PV) with Electrical Vehicles (EV) can substantially improve the micro grid(MG) stability and economic benefits. This paper presents a novel Energy Management System (EMS) that synchronizes EV storage with Solar PV and load variability. Reducing grid dependency and energy cost of the MGs are the key objectives of the proposed EMS. A smart EV prioritization based control strategy is developed using fuzzy controller. Probabilistic approach is designed to estimate the EV usage expectancy in the near time zone that helps smart decision on choosing EVs. Minimizing battery degradation and maximizing EV storage exploitation are the key objectives of EV prioritization. On the other hand, Water Filling Algorithm (WFA) is used for Optimal Storage Distribution (OSD) in each zone of energy need for load flattening. The proposed EMS is implemented in a real time on-grid MG scenario and different case studies have been investigated to realize the impact of proposed EMS. A comprehensive cost analysis has been conducted and the efficacy of the proposed EMS is analysed.
Feature selection by a distance measure method of subnormal and non-convex fuzzy sets
Authors: Qu Letao , Wang Bohyun , Lim Joon S.
Published: June 2021

Distance measures of fuzzy sets have been developed for feature selection and finding redundant features in the fields of decision-making, prediction, and classification problems. Terms commonly used in the definition of fuzzy sets are normal and convex fuzzy sets. This paper extends the general fuzzy set definitions to subnormal and non-convex fuzzy sets that are more precise when implementing uncertain knowledge representations by weighing fuzzy membership functions. A distance measure method for subnormal and non-convex fuzzy sets is proposed for embedded feature selection. Constructing fuzzy membership functions and extracting fuzzy rules play a critical role in fuzzy classification systems. The weighted fuzzy membership functions prevent the combinatorial explosion of fuzzy rules in multiple fuzzy rule-based systems. The proposed method was validated by a comparison with two other methods. Our proposed method demonstrated higher accuracies in training and test, with scores of 97.95% and 93.98%, respectively, compared to the other two methods.
Active Surveillance of Small Renal Masses: A Systematic Review
Authors: Ellis Elizabeth E. , Messing Edward
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND:

Our goal is to review current literature regarding active surveillance (AS) of small renal masses (SRMs) and identify trends in survival outcomes, factors that predict the need for further intervention, and quality of life (QOL).

METHODS:

We performed a comprehensive literature search in PubMed and EMBASE and identified 194 articles. A narrative summary was performed in lieu of a meta-analysis due to the heterogeneity of selected studies.

RESULTS:

Seventeen articles were chosen to be featured in this review. Growth rate (GR) was not an accurate predictor of malignancy, although it was the characteristic most commonly used to trigger delayed intervention (DI). The mean 5-year overall survival (OS) of all studies was 73.6% ±1.7% for AS groups. The combined cancer specific survival (CSS) for AS is 97.1% ±0.6%, compared to 98.6% ±0.4% for the primary intervention (PI) groups, ( p = 0.038).

CONCLUSIONS:

Short and intermediate-term data demonstrate that AS with the option for DI is a management approach whose efficacy (in terms of CSS) approaches that of PI at 5 years, is cost effective, and prevents overtreatment, especially in patients with significant comorbidities.

Authors: Lee Ya-Yun , Li Min-Hao , Luh Jer-Junn , Tai Chun-Hwei
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: Recent advances in technology have warranted the use of wearable sensors to monitor gait and posture. However, the psychometric properties of using wearable devices to measure gait-related outcomes have not been fully established in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the test-retest reliability of body-worn sensors for gait evaluation in people with PD. Additionally, the influence of disease severity on the reliability was determined. METHODS: Twenty individuals with PD were recruited. During the first evaluation, the participants wore inertial sensors on their shoes and walked along a walkway thrice at their comfortable walking speed. The participants were then required to return to the lab after 3–5 days to complete the second evaluation with the same study procedure. Test-retest reliability of gait-related outcomes were calculated. To determine whether the results would be affected by disease severity, reliability was re-calculated by subdividing the participants into early and mid-advanced stages of the disease. RESULTS: The results showed moderate to good reliability (ICC = 0.64–0.87) of the wearable sensors for gait assessment in the general population with PD. Subgroup analysis showed that the reliability was higher among patients at early stages (ICC = 0.71–0.97) compared to those at mid-advanced stages (ICC = 0.65–0.81) of PD. CONCLUSIONS: Wearable sensors could reliably measure gait parameters in people with PD, and the reliability was higher among individuals at early stages of the disease compared to those at mid-advanced stages. Absolute reliability values were calculated to act as references for future studies.

Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: Migraine is more common in Meniere’s disease patients, who have some certain anatomical variations. But there are limited studies focusing on the anatomical variations in patients with Meniere’s disease and migraine. OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical and anatomical features in Meniere’s disease patients with and without migraine, determining whether the coexistence of migraine can be used as a basis for clinical subtyping of Meniere’s disease. METHODS: Ninety-five Meniere’s disease patients and ninety-five healthy subjects matched with age, sex were selected. A detailed questionnaire based on the diagnosis criteria of Meniere’s disease and migraine was designed. According to the CT scan, we divided the mastoid cell system of all the subjects into two types: well-pneumatization type and poor-pneumatization type. Meanwhile, the shortest distance between the sigmoid sinus and the posterior wall of the external acoustic canal was measured. RESULTS: Compared with those without migraine, Meniere‘s disease patients with migraine had a higher female comorbidity, poorer mastoid pneumatization, shorter distance between the sigmoid sinus and posterior wall of the external acoustic canal, longer history, higher frequency of vertigo attacks and better average hearing threshold. CONCLUSIONS: In our study, anatomical features as well as several clinical manifestations were proved to differ significantly between Meniere’s disease patients with and without migraine, indicating the coexistence of migraine may be one standard for the clinical subtyping of Meniere’s disease.

This work were studied the effect of technological parameters of detonation spraying on the phase composition and tribological characteristics on the bases of NiCr and Al2O3 coatings. As well as there was obtained and investigated multilayer coating on the bases of NiCr/NiCr- Al2O3/Al2O3 . It was determined that during detonation spraying the phase composition of Al2O3 coatings strongly depends on the degree of filling the borehole with a gas mixture. The a - Al2O3 -phase content in the coatings increases when the degree of filling is 63% and 54%. Only one CrNi3 phase is observed on the diffractograms and only increase of reflex intensity (020) at barrel filling by 58% is observed by sputtering on the bases of NiCr coatings in different degrees of barrel filling. The results of the coating nanohardness study showed that the hardness of the Al2O3 coating increases depending on the content of a- Al2O3 in it. Al2O3 coating has the maximum nanohardness values and is 16.42 GPa at the borehole is filled to 63%. The nanohardness of NiCr coating has the maximum values at barrel filling by 58% and consisting of 8.02 GPa.

This work are presented the research results of pulse plasma treatment influence on the phase composition, hardness, roughness and element composition of coatings on the bases of Fe-TiB2-CrB2. The Fe-TiB2-CrB2 coating was deposited by detonation method. The following pulse-plasma treatment was used to modify the structure and properties of the surface layers of the sprayed coating. The results of mechanical experiments showed that the hardness of Fe-TiB2-CrB2 coating increased after the treatment. On the basis of the X-ray analysis, it has been established that the increase of coating hardness is connected with phase transformations in a surface layer, in particular, with formation of oxide phases and increase of carbide particles quantity.

Context: Stainless Steel Crowns (SSC) are stable and durable restorations and a valuable technique in repairing deciduous teeth with extensive caries. Nickel and chromium are the main composing elements of SSCs, i.e. released in the oral environment; they can cause allergic reactions, especially in nickel-sensitive children. The symptoms of these reactions include gingival edema and the loss of alveolar bone. Evidence Acquisition: The required data used in our review were searched from articles published until 2020 and collected from online databases, including Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, using “Nickel, Allergy, and SSCs” keywords. Articles concerning SSCs and their application, nickel allergy released from crowns, and their symptoms were included in this study. After the abstract screening, we recalled relevant studies for full-text review. Results: We are exposed to nickel every day in various forms; some individuals present hypersensitivity reactions when exposed to the slightest amounts of this metal. Nickel is a base metal and among the elements used in SSCs. Nickel is released from SSCs during the corrosion process in the oral environment. Excessively released nickel ions cause chronic fatigue syndrome, sensitive lymph nodes, muscle aches, and headaches. Conclusions: The amount of nickel released from SSCs is less than the number of other sources; thus, the immunological reactions of a large percentage of the population to this excess amount of nickel ions in the bloodstream are normal and cause no severe problems.

O cenário é comum na TI das organizações: de um lado, o time de desenvolvimento, preocupado exclusivamente em entregar aplicações em períodos cada vez menores, sem se preocupar com questões como infraestrutura de TI e o ambiente necessário para dar estabilidade aos softwares desenvolvidos. De outro, o setor de operações que, com os olhos fixos na infraestrutura, ignora as particularidades do processo de desenvolvimento. Como os dois segmentos atuam de forma compartimentalizada e com visão global limitada, o resultado costuma ser de pouca eficiência e muitos incidentes. A TI bimodal caracteriza-se pelo uso de dois modelos de operação com propósitos distintos: 1) confiabilidade e; 2) agilidade. O presente estudo é baseado em caso de implementação de estratégia para adoção de TI Bimodal como solução de convivência.

Published: June 2021

En este documento presentamos un análisis sobre la configuración del campo de investigación en enseñanza de la historia, para lo cual ubicamos tres grandes tendencias. En la primera, la psicología permeó las explicaciones y las propuestas; en la segunda, los investigadores plantearon llevar el conocimiento histórico a las aulas imitando los procedimientos de los historiadores, mediación que corrió a cargo de la didáctica, además se interesaron por comprender por qué las reformas y propuestas no se hacían efectivas en la escuela. Finalmente, en la actualidad observamos una bifurcación entre la educación histórica, cuyo núcleo de interés está en el desarrollo del pensamiento histórico considerando los contextos locales, y la investigación en enseñanza de la historia que postula inscribir la producción de este conocimiento en el marco de los debates de las ciencias sociales.

Billeted Soldiers and Local Civilians in 1750s Helsinki
Authors: Gustafsson Sofia
Published: June 2021

This chapter discusses the soldier billeting system, in which the townspeople were obliged to lodge soldiers in their homes. The article shows that, even though the billeting was a heavy burden to the local burghers in Helsinki, the co-existence of soldiers and civilians in same houses and rooms was in itself surprisingly peaceful. One of the reasons is that the garrison soldiers began, from an early stage, to interact closely with the local community, demonstrated for example by the numerous marriages between them and the local women.
NEEDLEWORK AS POLITICAL AND CULTURAL RESISTANCE IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN NOVEL
Authors: YAVAŞ Nesrin
Published: June 2021

Handcrafts like quilting, knitting, sewing, and cross-stitching have traditionally been viewed as a “woman’s thing,” a gendered leisure time activity. However, women’s handcrafts when read as texts can yield multi-layered narratives. With the coming of the second wave feminism in the US in the 1960s, many feminist scholars, critiques turned to study literary texts in which women’s handcrafts yielded political and/or cultural meanings. In fact, there is a bulk of scholarly literature on the representations of needlework in American literary tradition. The aim of this research paper is not to offer a comprehensive study on the representations of women’s handcrafts in American literary tradition but to bring attention to three contemporary American novels, Mama Day by African American feminist author Gloria Naylor, Four Souls by Native American Louise Erdrich, and Flight Behaviour by Barbara Kingsolver. the study of which, I believe, will bring a new breath to the already existing scholarship on the topic.
ECO-POETICS OF CHARLES OLSON: AN ECOCRITICAL STUDY ON “THE KINGFISHERS”
Authors: MÜLAZIMOĞLU Melis
Published: June 2021

This paper interprets Charles Olson’s poem, “The Kingfishers” (1949) through ecocritical lenses. Although not counted necessarily as an environmentalist, ecopoet or nature writer, many of Olson’s works can be scrutinized within the frame of Ecocriticism, which as a literary theory and critical approach emerging in the Western academia by the 1990s, is mainly defined as the “study of the relationship between the literature and the physical environment” (Glotfelty and Fromm, eds., 1996: xviii). Progressing towards an eco-centric universe rather than anthropocentric in alternative ways that will help continue interaction among species and lead to organic sustainability, Ecocriticism both as a method and practice aims to revitalize the literary conception and representation of human and non-human universes. On the other hand, what triggers Olson’s ecopoetics has been parallel to some of the basic tenets of Ecocriticism: Olson’s works demonstrate his critique of the Western logocentric thinking that undermines, exploits and silences nature as the non-human other. Moreover, his acknowledgement of the primordial cultures of Americas as well as his preoccupation with the fauna and flora of his hometown, Gloucester-Massachusetts serves as an example of “bio-regionalism” in connection with the larger spectrum. Thus, this paper handles the poem “The Kingfishers” with an ecocritical approach in trying to exemplify the ecological awareness in Charles Olson. The entanglement between verse and universe interpreted within Ecocritical discourse will be discussed in terms of subtitles such as “poetry as dwelling,” “bio-regionalism” and “the concept of interconnectedness and theory of rhizome” all of which render service to the ecocritical emphasis on the “sustainability of literature.”

The globalization of global events, revolutions, wars, art and literature in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have created certain revolutions in our socio-political and literary-cultural meetings. Before him stood the test of Turkic and Islamic culture, Turkic, modernizing, Islamic values, philosophical discussions to prove himself and his national existence. The ideological mechanisms of such thinkers as J. Afganani, I. Gaspirali, MA Rasululzade, A. Huseynzadeh, A. Agaoglu, A. Topshubashov were revolutionizing not only Azerbaijan, but the whole Turkic-Islamic world. However, the invasion of Russia on April 28, 1920, as in all other areas, has caused a decline in the literature.
In order to define the artistic method of socialist literature, Marxist literary studies invented new literary laws and theories. Debates, suggestions, and consultations worked to the detriment of the true literature, until finally the only version of the theory of method - “socialist realism” - was accepted. Thus, socialist realism was approved as the main creative method in the literature of all the Soviet republics, as well as in the Azerbaijani literature and especially in the novel aesthetics of the novel. The novel genre, which requires special thinking and, in Belinsky’s language, as a mirror of the time, has been removed from its true essence. The article examines the socio-political situation in Azerbaijan in the 1930s and 1850s and the reasons why this situation is not adequately reflected in the literature.

Bu araştırmanın amacı ilkokul dördüncü sınıf düzeyindeki Türkçe ders kitaplarındaki bilgilendirici metinlerde geçen sözcükleri kökenleri bakımından incelenmektir. Bu doğrultuda araştırmanın deseni nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada ver toplama tekniği olarak doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Millî Eğitim Bakanlığı Talim ve Terbiye Kurulunun ders kitabı olarak kabul ettiği ilkokul dördüncü sınıf Türkçe ders kitaplarındaki zorunlu temalarda yer alan bilgilendirici metinler yazılı materyaller olarak kullanılmıştır. Toplanan verilerin çözümlenmesinde içerik analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Seçilen ilkokul dördüncü sınıf Türkçe ders kitabındaki bilgilendirici metinlerde yer alan sözcükler çözümlemeye alınmıştır. Yapılan incelemelerin sonucunda bilgilendirici metinlerde geçen sözcüklerin %28,27’sinin yabancı kökenli olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca incelenen metinlerde yabancı kökenli sözcüklerin en çok Arapça, Farsça ve Fransızca kökenli olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Temalar açısından inceleme yapıldığında oran olarak yabancı kökenli sözcüklerin daha çok bulunduğu metinlerin Millî Mücadele ve Atatürk temasında, yine oran olarak Türkçe sözcüklerin daha fazla bulunduğu metinlerin ise Erdemler temasında yer aldığı bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlara göre Türkçe ders kitabında yer alan metinlerdeki sözcük seçiminde daha bilinçli olunması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.

Precipitation is of extreme importance for the management of water resources, since it is a question of degraded areas and with deforestation for deforestation and the withdrawal of firewood. Frequency analysis was performed on the annual rainfall totals by drawing up the graphs. The scale proposed by Meis et al. (1981), and by the meteorological and CPTEC/INPE nuclei, and provided by Xavier et al. (2005), the annual values ​​that approached the mean value were characterized as intermediaries, and in the scale of annual precipitation values, those that moved away 25% away from the average were considered as very rainy years, and below 25%, like dry years. The application of the Student's t test of significance, pointed out that precipitation data in general are 99% significant. The results showed a tendency of reductions in the rainfall indices, with oscillations of precipitations throughout the series 1962 to 2019, and evidenced the recurrence of maximum values ​​of annual precipitation in the range of 17, 13 and 9 years. It is suggested a study with series of larger years in order to verify the fluctuations and the contributions of the El Niño(a) phenomena in the studied area.

Métodos: estudo epidemiológico, do tipo ecológico, observacional, descritivo, quantitativo, elaborado com base nos dados contidos no Sistema de Informação sobre Nascidos Vivos. Os dados foram processados nos programas Tab para Windows e analisados no LibreOffice Excel versão 5.4. Os resultados descritivos foram exibidos em frequência absoluta e relativa e os indicadores em proporções de acordo com AP de residência da mãe. Resultados: Foram analisadas 82.780 declarações de Nascidos vivos. A maioria apresentou-se a termo, o peso adequado, Apgar no primeiro e quinto minutos entre 7 a 10 pontos. As mães foram em sua maioria pardas, solteiras, com 8 a 11 anos de estudo e idade entre 20 a 34. O tipo de parto mais frequente foi à cesárea. Considerações finais: A avaliação do perfil epidemiológico dos nascidos vivos deve fazer parte dos serviços de saúde para que as ações estratégicas sejam direcionadas, com vistas a intervir nos agravos de saúde que levam a situação de prematuridade, a desigualdade do acesso ao pré-natal, e cesarianas sem critério. Logo, os serviços de saúde devem dispor de Plano de ações locais.
5 anos de Campanha Setembro Amarelo: Estamos conseguindo prevenir suicídios?
Authors: Lima Daniel Ponciano Araújo , Brandão Carla Barbosa
Published: June 2021

Tendo em vista o impacto global do comportamento suicida e a relevância de se desenvolverem estratégias de prevenção eficazes, buscou-se verificar se houve associação entre a implementação da Campanha Setembro Amarelo e eventuais mudanças nas taxas de suicídios em um estado da região nordeste do Brasil, marcada por expressivo crescimento das taxas de suicídio nos últimos 26 anos, acima da média nacional. Para tal, coletaram-se dados sobre mortalidade devido a causas auto-infligidas no Ceará entre os anos 2009 e 2019. Os dados foram analisados por meio do software Joinpoint Regression Program objetivando distinguir mudanças de tendências por meio de identificação de pontos de inflexão na curva de mortalidade. Não foi identificada alteração de tendência na frequência de suicídios a despeito da implementação da campanha na população geral, porém observou-se crescimento na tendência de suicídios na população entre 15 e 29 anos, bem como estabilização entre indivíduos com 60 a 79 anos após seu início. A publicização do tema suicídio nas redes sociais de maneira não regulada durante a Campanha Setembro Amarelo pode justificar os achados, sendo uma hipótese a ser testada em futuras pesquisas.

Objetivou-se realizar uma reflexão voltada aos desafios e perspectivas no enfrentamento da obesidade na atenção básica. A obesidade consiste em grave problema de saúde pública, considerada epidemia mundial. Sua prevenção no âmbito da atenção primária à saúde exige mobilização de equipe multiprofissional qualificada e integrada. Os profissionais veiculam estratégias de educação alimentar e nutricional direcionadas aos indivíduos, famílias e comunidades; contribuem para o fortalecimento do direito à alimentação saudável e estabelecem vínculos com os usuários do sistema de saúde. O atendimento no nível primário de assistência torna-se momento oportuno para mudanças de hábitos alimentares. Dificuldades relacionadas a esta temática são recorrentes na prática profissional dos nutricionistas, o que exige mudança no olhar da gestão pública para maior suporte à assistência nutricional. Recomenda-se a capacitação dos profissionais da atenção básica envolvidos nos processos de cuidado, a fim de reformularem as suas práticas de formação e adotar novos conceitos e práticas no processo de trabalho a fim de melhorar a qualidade de vida da população, promovendo saúde e prevenindo a obesidade e seus agravos.

A qualidade técnica de um serviço pode ser avaliada de forma segura e eficaz, embasada cientificamente. Esse estudo possibilita ao usuário do sistema de saúde público e ao profissional mensurarem o nível de utilidade da assistência que é prestada. Logo, avaliar o serviço odontológico em ambiente de referência viabiliza melhoras significativas para o paciente e profissional, podendo guiar a gestão dos serviços às verdadeiras necessidades da população. Desta forma, o trabalho qualitativo e quantitativo utilizou o setor odontológico do Hospital da Polícia Militar (HPM) de Teresina-PI, para coletar dados que viabilizaram a caracterização dos serviços oferecidos na assistência odontológica, bem como são feitos os registros destes serviços frente a comunidade em que se insere. A pesquisa foi guiada por análise de prontuários dos pacientes, entrevista com formulários estruturados e orientação de cirurgiã-dentista. Na amostra dos prontuários analisados, 64% não possuíam queixa principal ou características que auxiliassem no diagnóstico e tratamento do paciente, além disso, 42% dos profissionais confessaram não assinar o documento. O trabalho viabilizou ampliação desse estudo, comparação das percepções de saúde entre paciente e dentista, e possíveis intervenções para melhoria do atendimento para a população.
