Introdução: Dor é um dos principais motivos por assistência ao serviço médico-hospitalar em todo o mundo, gerando um impacto significativo na saúde pública e no sistema de saúde. Existem diferentes classificações de dor com base em diversos critérios, como duração, origem e mecanismos fisiológicos. Objetivo: identificar fatores que aumentaram o tempo médio de internação entre indivíduos hospitalizados por dor aguda e crônica no Brasil. Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo epidemiológico de delineamento transversal utilizando dados do Sistema de Internações Hospitalares (SIH-DATASUS) para analisar internações hospitalares em leitos clínicos de pacientes com diagnósticos de dor aguda e dor crônica, ocorridas em todas as idades e unidades federativas no período de janeiro de 2008 a dezembro de 2022. As variáveis analisadas foram: características demográficas, dados de internação, variáveis clínicas e de desfecho. Resultados: Foram registrados 120204 hospitalizações com predominância do sexo feminino, representando 56,19% dos casos de internação por dor crônica e 51,61% por dor aguda. Quanto à faixa etária houve diferença significativa entre os grupos pediátricos e adolescentes sendo de 14,57% para dor aguda e 3,13% para dor crônica. Já entre os idosos 24,68% dos casos foi do grupo de dor aguda e 29,13% de dor crônica. As internações por dor aguda foram mais frequentes no período de 2013-2017 (38,97%), enquanto as internações por dor crônica predominaram no período de 2018-2022 (50,56%). O tempo médio de permanência foi maior para dor crônica (3,80 ± 6,39 dias) em comparação a dor aguda (2,87 ± 4,94 dias), assim como o custo médio da internação (R$1216,08 ± 1393,77; R$628,06 ± 1286,54 respectivamente). Conclusão: Houve a prevalência de internações por dor crônica em mulheres e idosos, e as internações por dor aguda foram mais frequentes em crianças e adolescentes. A maior concentração de internações ocorreu no Sudeste e internações por dor crônica tiveram maior duração e custos. A alta prevalência de dor crônica e suas consequências para a saúde e a economia ressaltam a importância de investir em ações de prevenção e tratamento da dor.

Published: December 2024

This study investigated the challenges and perspectives of continuing education of teachers in basic education, addressing the question of how these trainings impact pedagogical practice. The general objective was to analyze the perceptions of educators in relation to continuing education and its importance in professional development. The methodology used was a bibliographic review, in which relevant works on the subject were selected and analyzed. The results showed that, although teachers recognized the relevance of continuing education, they faced difficulties such as lack of time and resources, as well as resistance to new methodologies. Public policies were also identified as disconnected from school realities, which limited the effectiveness of the training offered. The research also highlighted the relevance of digital technologies in the training process, although there were barriers to their integration into teaching practice. The final considerations reiterated the need for an alignment between training policies and the specificities of schools, as well as adequate institutional support for continuing education to become a meaningful process. The research also suggested future studies to thoroughly explore the effectiveness of training and the impact on the quality of education.

Method and Characteristics of Gender Education Research in the Digital Age: Literature Review and Research Outlook
Authors: Pu Siying
Published: December 2024

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the research on gender education has shown a positive trend. With the help of CNKI, this paper searched the main literature related to “gender education in the digital age” in recent years and has found that the academic circle had done a lot of research on the specific context of gender education, the concept analysis of gender education and the method of gender education, and has broadened the research horizon and practice path of gender education. However, there are methods in the research that ignore the methodology of system construction, or emphasize quantitative analysis over qualitative, which needs to focus more on the core concept of gender education, to construct gender education methodology system with Chinese characteristics, and to enhance the practical application of gender education in the process of social transformation and upgrading, in order to better achieve the free and comprehensive development of every individual.

Authors: Queiroz Diego Monteiro de , Dias Katia Gonçalves , Moura Marilene da Silva , Meira Janeisi de Lima
Published: December 2024

O objetivo do artigo a seguir é apresentar reflexões acerca da Educação Especial na perspectiva inclusiva no Documento Curricular do Tocantins (DCT) e na Base Nacional Curricular Comum (BNCC). A educação para os alunos e alunas com deficiência ao longo dos anos passou do campo assistencial e médico para o campo educacional. Esse é um processo que vem sendo construído paulatinamente e contemplado pela legislação educacional brasileira e pelos marcos internacionais. Neste trabalho abordam-se aspectos gerais sobre o método de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, a fim de analisar como a Educação Especial na perspectiva inclusiva está sendo tratada no DCT, que foi elaborado seguindo as diretrizes da BNCC, que trata do Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência (LBI). Após examinar os dados, fica evidente que a BNCC trata a Educação Especial na perspectiva inclusiva, de maneira frágil, o que também ocorre no DCT. A reflexão convida os leitores a aprofundar pesquisas sobre o cenário educacional atual e a ponderar sobre as instabilidades e transformações associadas às perspectivas de inclusão, considerando questões cruciais para sua efetivação.

REGULARIZAÇÃO FUNDIÁRIA DE INTERESSE SOCIAL COMO INSTRUMENTO DO DIREITO À MORADIA DIGNA
Authors: Scuassante Priscyla
Published: December 2024

A questão fundiária e de ocupação dos espaços rural e urbano, bem como o acesso à moradia no Brasil está entrelaçada com o processo de desenvolvimento socioeconômico brasileiro e a produção de pobreza, segregação e lutas sociais de acesso à terra e à moradia. Considerando que o Brasil é signatário de tratados internacionais, que previa a habitação como pressuposto para a dignidade da pessoa humana e que foram recepcionados pela Constituição Cidadã, a regularização fundiária urbana apresenta-se como um instrumento adequado para equacionar o problema social, habitacional, urbanístico e ambiental proveniente desse crescimento desordenado, com consequente melhoria do ambiente urbano e da qualidade de vida. A regularização fundiária urbana de interesse social é para além da titulação, tendo em vista que abrange aspectos correlatos à uma moradia adequada como medidas de urbanização, ambientais e sociais, buscando garantir o mínimo para uma existência digna, respeitando o local já ocupado, pela população de baixa renda declarados em ato do Poder Público Municipal, garantindo assim, a observância do princípio constitucional da dignidade da pessoa humana.

Published: December 2024

As mulheres quando praticam um ato ilícito são duplamente penalizadas, primeiramente pela conduta em conflito com a lei e por ferir ao ideal estereotipado da sociedade do papel de mulher, mãe, filha, esposa. Logo, o objetivo deste artigo é traçar em linha gerais o contexto em que vive o corpo feminino encarcerado e de que forma poder-se-ia (re)pensar em atitudes que os tornariam sobreviventes das mazelas e de um ambiente hostilizado. Para tanto, a metodologia proposta baseia-se em uma abordagem dedutiva e pesquisa bibliográfica com técnica de coleta em livros, artigos e periódicos. Para que se alcance o objetivo desta pesquisa, dividiu-se a pesquisa em parte. Desse modo, o trabalho se propõe a delimitar a percepção e a compreensão, inicialmente, acerca das vidas privadas de liberdade com apresentação de dados e reflexões críticas sobre o volume de corpos aprisionados. Sequencialmente, restringe-se e voltam-se os olhares para as mulheres encarceradas e suas lutas diárias face à situação na qual seus corpos se encontram decompondo. Em ato contínuo, demonstram-se as razões e a importância de ascendermos os debates sobre a figura feminina privada de liberdade, bem como em disseminar as vozes dessas mulheres para combater atrocidades e propagar um sistema digno de (con)vivência. Por fim, trata-se de medidas que possam transformar a rotina dessas mulheres em “vida” novamente, ou seja, será debatido a respeito de políticas públicas, feminismo, modelo arquitetônico e pautas sociais.
Socio-legal Discourse Analysis of a Selected Court Proceeding
Authors: Ekpang Juliet Nkane , Ogolekwu Oche
Published: December 2024

Socio-legal discourse is an emerging interdisciplinary area of research in which laws or legal documents are analysed via a sociolinguistics’ lens. This paper identifies and discusses the relationship between language and law in a selected court proceeding. The researchers identify some features of discourse, which include exchange, move and act. The analysis adopts Sinclaire and Courlthard’s (1975) discourse rank scale and places court proceedings under the rank of lesson. A bottom-top approach is adopted in this placement such that at the level of discourse acts, the analysis focuses on informative, elicitation and directive acts. In the discussion, the paper examines some discourse elements such as "focusing and framing move," "opening and answering move," as well as "follow-up move." For the socio-legal components of the text, discourse cohesion and coherence are used as tools of analysis. This paper reveals that these discourse features used in legal documents help to unify the sequence of events during court proceedings. Thus, it concludes that an understanding of these socio-legal discourse structures will provide greater insights into the examination of legal proceedings in law courts in Nigeria.
A Cognitive Stylistic Analysis of Oswald Mtshali’s “Men in Chains”
Authors: Isa Joy
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a cognitive stylistic analysis of the poem “Men in Chains” by Oswald Mbuyiseni Mtshali (1968). Cognitive stylistics focuses primarily on explaining what happens during the reading process and how it influences the interpretations made by readers in understanding textual meaning. Though meaning is located in the formal structure of the literary text, readers can also approach meaning by deploying aspects of their previous background knowledge. Therefore, the study examines how a special configuration of language is used to realise a particular subject matter and a few selected figurative tropes to achieve a special aesthetic purpose. In the research, all primary data were sourced from the poem, and the secondary data were derived from related works and textbooks. The Schema Theory introduced by Richard C. Anderson (1977) and Conceptual Metaphor Theory by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson (1980) were used to analyse the data collected for the study. The analysis reveals that coherence among figures of speech and the use of extended and complex figurative expressions create new stylistic frameworks and metaphorical formulas that illustrate the idea of novelty and creativity in the poem. Based on the above, the work concludes that cognitive stylistics is effective in the study and interpretation of poetry. It can also be used in studying and teaching poetry to enhance better understanding and appreciation of any poetic texts.

Urinary tract infection is a type of infection that occurs in one or all organs in the urinary system and is generally caused by bacterial infections, one of which is Klebsiella pneumonia. Treatment of urinary tract infections is carried out by administering antibiotics, however, this method actually increases the incidence of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, alternative treatments are needed to replace the antibiotics used for urinary tract infections. This is a meta-analysis study that aims to obtain information about alternative treatments for urinary tract infections using herbal medicines and their mechanisms. This research begins with a search for relevant references, then selecting the articles that are truly relevant with the topic, and extracting the data. The data used was secondary data extracted from the references, then statistically tested with Ancova t-test and effect size calculation. The extraction results showed that the usage of herbal plant extracts was able to provide an inhibitory zone on the growth of Klebsiella pneumonia, which indicates that herbal plant extracts are able to provide antipathogenic effects for Klebsiella pneumonia. The Ancova t-test results showed a sig. value is 0.000 which indicates that there is a clear and significant effect of the herbal plants extract as an anti-uropathogen of Klebsiella pneumonia. The calculation of effect size also showed a value is 0.882 which means that the herbal plants used as an anti-uropathogen of Klebsiella pneumonia has a very large effect.

Published: December 2024

The organizational climate is perceived in different ways by employees, as it is related to how they are treated, due to the sector in which they work, their gender, length of service, activities, forms of work organization and leadership profile. Identifying the organizational climate is essential to check whether it presents toxic aspects and through organizational research we can obtain this information. Nowadays, in a post-pandemic scenario, it is very important to take care of workers' mental health, especially in the workplace, since it is in the organizational environment that they spend the majority of their time. For the theoretical-methodological improvement of this research, it was based on a bibliographical review of books, scientific articles, scientific magazines and materials available on the internet and websites with scientific content. In addition to the literature review, qualitative research was used using a questionnaire as a collection instrument. Therefore, the qualitative approach made it possible to construct meanings and interpret the data obtained through the questionnaire applied to ten employees of a company in the commercial sector about their perception of the organizational climate and its impacts on the work environment. In the case of the research, we can identify that the results highlighted the need to adopt an adequate remuneration policy, adjustment of working hours, reviews of salaries and the benefits package, adopting an employee development policy and adapting resting places. These results may have clues that could lead to a toxic environment in the future.

Authors: dos Santos Heber Miguel , Gonsalves Matheus Riquelme , Santos Souza Israel Furtado
Published: December 2024

The technological advancement referred to as Industry 4.0 is directly linked to the evolution of telecommunications. A prominent example of this relationship is the emergence of fifth-generation mobile communication standards, commonly known as 5G, which have enabled the industrial application of disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence, augmented reality, big data, IoT, among others, in an increasingly scalable manner. In light of this scenario, it is of utmost importance that solutions for analyzing and monitoring the performance of mobile networks become more accessible, not relying solely on high-cost equipment, proprietary software, or applications limited to networks compatible with smartphones. In this context, the main objective of this work was to develop an automated drive-test system for mobile communication networks, capable of generating georeferenced heat maps that represent the received signal strength through the RSRP (Reference Signal Received Power) parameter in performance tests conducted in a specific operational area of a mobile network. It is important to highlight that the validation of the current system functionalities was conducted on a private 5G network, thanks to the infrastructure provided by Itaipu Parquetec, which generously authorized the validation tests within its coverage area. However, the system was designed to be adaptable to other types of mobile network technologies, depending only on the possibility of integration between the developed system and the devices connected to the network to be analyzed. The system architecture was defined to encompass the following layers: data acquisition, where a 5G development kit and a georeferencing module were used integrated with a computational data acquisition interface; data layer, consisting of a non-relational database; application layer, composed of a server implemented with FastAPI, React, Node.js, Bootstrap, and Leaflet; and finally, a presentation layer that should be displayed in a web browser. After comparative analysis between the tests conducted, an approximate reduction of 89% in test execution time was observed when using the developed automated drive-test system compared to the manual method, highlighting the significant potential of this tool.

Nicht-Landschaften

In ihren Portraits von Industrielandschaften setzten Wolfgang Hilbig und Wolfgang Mattheuer auf ein ganz ähnliches Verfahren: eine Verkehrung romantischer Modi der Natur- und Landschaftsdarstellung. In den Werken des Schriftstellers Wolfgang Hilbig und des Malers Wolfgang Mattheuer bildet die Landschaft rund um Leipzig eine wichtige Konstante. Die seinerzeit vor allem durch die DDR-Braunkohleindustrie und ihren Raubbau zunehmend geschändete Gegend galt als eine der dreckigsten in ganz Europa. Ein dort zu Tage tretendes, zerrüttetes Mensch-Natur-Verhältnis war auch Sinnbild eines gescheiterten Staates und seines Systems. Von daher war eine künstlerische Auseinandersetzung mit ihr vor einem doppelten Hintergrund problematisch. Zum einen weil die Ausmaße der Zerstörung historisch unvergleichlich waren, zum anderen weil die ästhetische Kategorie der Landschaft zu DDR-Zeiten per se als eine politische verstanden werden musste. Hilbig und Mattheuer versuchten dem zu begegnen, indem sie in der Adaption und Revision der vor allem durch die Romantiker entwickelten Verfahren der Landschaftsdarstellung einen Zugang suchten, der beiden Problematiken Rechnung trug.

Background: Rare diseases, characterized by low prevalence and high complexity, pose significant challenges to health systems due to the uncertainty surrounding the best diagnostic methods and availability of effective treatments. Objectives: This study aimed to introduce new methods for prioritizing orphan drugs, with a pilot application to hemophilia, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), cystic fibrosis (CF), and multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: This quantitative research, conducted at Iran’s National Institute for Health Research from 2021 to 2023, employs multi-criteria decision-making models (MCDA) to evaluate the efficacy of health care technologies for "rare and hard to cure" diseases. A preliminary model was developed based on a pilot selection of seven medications, for which comprehensive data was extracted. The clinical efficacy was assessed using quality adjusted life years (QALY) as a metric. The model design was grounded on three critical factors: The annual cost of intervention per individual, the annual number of eligible patients for intervention, and the Proportion of expenses covered by the governmental budget. Additionally, the model incorporated various constraints and a regulatory coefficient, denoted as “w,” to enhance its robustness. Results: By running the model, the coverage of selected medications through model optimization, revealing the following percentages: Alemtuzumab (30%), ocrelizumab (30%), emicizumab (6%), dornase alfa (29%), tobramycin (2%), and spinraza (0.02%). Additionally, the corresponding monetary coverage in Iranian Rials is reported as follows: Alemtuzumab (27,144,000,000 IRR), ocrelizumab (109,645,200,000 IRR), emicizumab (17,360,490,000 IRR), dornase alfa (43,350,930,000 IRR), tobramycin (1,268,505,000 IRR), and spinraza (350,000,000 IRR). Conclusions: This model has tried to solve the shortcomings of the existing models regarding the prioritization of orphan drugs by combining different factors to improve access to essential treatments for rare diseases, although it can be generally asserted that no unique model can answer all policymakers’ questions regarding budget allocation of rare diseases and orphan products.

Diabetic retinopathy stands as a significant concern for individuals managing diabetes. It is a severe eye condition that targets the delicate blood vessels within the retina. As it advances, it can inflict severe vision impairment or complete blindness in extreme cases. Regular eye examinations are vital for individuals with diabetes to detect abnormalities early. Detection of diabetic retinopathy is challenging and a time-consuming process, but deep learning and transfer learning techniques offer vital support by automating the process, providing accurate predictions, and simplifying diagnostic procedures for healthcare professionals. This study introduces a multi-classification framework for grading diabetic retinopathy into five classes using Transfer Learning and data fusion. The objective is to develop a robust, automated model for diabetic retinopathy detection to enhance the diagnostic process for healthcare professionals. We fused two distinct datasets, APTOS and IDRiD, which resulted in a total of 4178 fundus images. The merged dataset underwent preprocessing to enhance image quality and to remove unwanted regions, noise and artifacts from the fundus images. The pre-processed dataset is then resized and a balancing technique called SMOTE is applied to it due to uneven class distribution present among classes. To increase diversity and size of the dataset, data augmentation techniques including flipping, brightness adjustment and contrast adjustment are applied. The dataset is split into 80:10:10 ratios for training, validation, and testing. Two pre-trained models, EfficientNetB5 and DenseNet121, are fine-tuned and training parameters like batch size, number of epochs, learning rate etc. are adjusted. The results demonstrate the highest test accuracy of 96.06% is achieved by using EfficientNetB5 model followed by 91.40% test accuracy using DenseNet121 model. The performance of our best model i.e. EfficientNetB5, is compared with several state-of-the-art approaches, including DenseNet-169, Hybrid models and ResNet-50 where our model outperformed these methodologies in terms of test accuracy.
