الدور التشريعي للقضاء الدستوري في الرقابة على الإغفال التشريعي (دراسة في القانون العراقي والقانون المصري)
Authors: حسين ماجد
Published: January 2024

يلتزم المشرع بأنْ لا يمتنع عن سن تشريع معين ألزمه الدستور بإقراره وسنه، كذلك ألا يغفل أو يهمل إحدى جوانب التنظيم القانوني، والتي لا يكتمل هذا الأخير إلّا بها وفقاً للتكليف الدستوري، وإلا يعد ذلك موقفاً سلبياً من جانب المشرع مخالفاً للدستور، ويجب القضاء من قبل المحاكم الدستورية بعدم دستوريته، وأساس ذلك هو سمو الدستور وعلوه على كافة التشريعات، سواء من الناحية الموضوعية أو من الناحية الشكلية.

ومبدأ سمـو الدستور يعـد ضمانة أساسية لمبدأ المشروعية، ولكن هذا المبدأ نفسه يحتاج إلى ضمانة لاحترامه وعدم الاعتداء عليه وهذه الضمانة هي الرقابة على دستورية القوانين ومنها الرقابة على الاغفال التشريعي، فهي الوسيلة الفاعلـة لتأكيد هذا السمـو والحيلولة دون صدور أية تشريعـات مخالفة للدستور وإبطال ما يتعـارض منها مع أحكامه أو تغافل المشرّع عن دوره في تشريع قواعد قانونية، ومن ثـم المحافظة على مبدأ المشروعية وبخـلاف ذلك يصبح مبدأ سمو الدستور شعاراً بلا محتوى ولفظا بعيدا عن أي مضمون.

لذلك ان الدور التشريعي للقضاء الدستوري من خلال الرقابة على التشريعات، يتمثل بالرقابة الدستورية على الإغفال التشريعي، والاختصاص السلبي للمشرّع في قضاء المحاكم الدستورية لكل من العراق ومصر، ويتطلب ذلك معرفة الإغفال التشريعي والاختصاص السلبي للمشرّع، وعرض الأسس الدستورية للرقابة عليهما.

Published: January 2024

This study aims to develop an original financial intelligence quotient (FIQ) measurement conceptual model, including guidelines for adequately handling personal finances in four developed areas to serve as benchmarks of financial intelligence. Four hypotheses were raised, one of them consists of four parts. Methods used: a questionnaire to determine how well a person’s financial decisions comply with financial behaviour guidelines, Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient to determine the internal consistency of the scales used in the questionnaire, Spearman correlation coefficient to determine the linear dependence between the variables, a linear regression model was developed to substantiate the hypothesis, the MannWhitney-Wilcoxon rank-sum criterion, the KolmogorovSmirnov test to choose the data distribution according to the normal distribution, descriptive statistics, the Kruskal-Wallis test to support the hypothesis. The results show that an individual’s FIQ influences financial decision-making in essential areas of personal finance management and varies due to education but is not dependent on gender and age. Research limitations: The study focuses only on FI and its impact on the economic well-being of Lithuanian students; the study uses oneyear data; data sets for different age groups were not the same size; and the data was not distributed in groups according to the normal distribution.
Revisit of 77 Clusters Candidates with Multiple Main Sequences using Gaia DR3

Published: January 2024

Gaia DR3 data provide the latest and full astrometric data for more than 1.5 billion sources, and these allow us to revisit the 77 special open cluster candidates collected from LISC star cluster catalog. According to their unclear color–magnitude-diagram (CMD) morphology, they are difficult to be ensured as real open clusters (OCs), and their cluster properties are still poorly known. We perform a cluster census by reidentification for these clusters using pyUPMASK based on the photometric and astrometric stellar information. We have redetected these 77 objects and they should be real OCs, of which five clusters are potential binary clusters. Their basic parameters are obtained by fitting isochrones to observed CMDs. Our results show that their CMDs display more clean main sequences (MSs) and less member stars lying on the right of lower MSs relative to most of clusters in our initial sample, but broad MSs have not changed significantly. We suggest that efficient clustering algorithm combined with precision data can only partly reduce some stars lying on the right of lower MSs, and a simple stellar population of binary and rotating stars can partly reproduce multiple MS phenomena, including split and broad MSs.

We present high-resolution K-band emission spectra of the quintessential hot Jupiter HD 189733 b from the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer. Using a Bayesian retrieval framework, we fit the dayside pressure–temperature profile, orbital kinematics, mass-mixing ratios of H2O, CO, CH4, NH3, HCN, and H2S, and the 13CO/12CO ratio. We measure mass fractions of

, and place upper limits on the remaining species. Notably, we find logCH4 < −4.5 at 99% confidence, despite its anticipated presence at the equilibrium temperature of HD 189733 b assuming local thermal equilibrium. We make a tentative (∼3σ) detection of 13CO, and the retrieved posteriors suggest a 12C/13C ratio similar to or substantially less than the local interstellar value. The possible 13C enrichment would be consistent with accretion of fractionated material in ices or in the protoplanetary disk midplane. The retrieved abundances correspond to a substantially substellar atmospheric C/O = 0.3 ± 0.1, while the carbon and oxygen abundances are stellar to slightly superstellar, consistent with core-accretion models which predict an inverse correlation between C/O and metallicity. The specific combination of low C/O and high metallicity suggests significant accretion of solid material may have occurred late in the formation process of HD 189733 b.
Photometric Metallicity and Distance for the Two RR Lyrae in Segue II and Ursa Major II Dwarf Galaxies Based on Multiband Light Curves
Authors: Ngeow Chow-Choong , Bhardwaj Anupam
Published: January 2024

Multiband light curves of two RR Lyrae variables in Segue II and Ursa Major II ultrafaint dwarf galaxies were collected from near simultaneous observations using the Lulin One-meter Telescope in Vgri bands. Together with Gaia G-band light curves, we determined photometric metallicities using empirical relations involving pulsation period and Fourier parameter as dependent parameters. We demonstrated that the RR Lyrae photometric metallicity can be determined accurately when these empirical relations were employed at multiple wavelengths, which can potentially improve the distance determination based on RR Lyrae stars. The photometric metallicities based on our approach were found to be −2.27 ± 0.13 dex and −1.87 ± 0.16 dex for the RR Lyrae in Segue II and Ursa Major II UFD, respectively, with corresponding distance moduli of 17.69 ± 0.15 mag and 17.58 ± 0.15 mag, in agreement with previous literature determinations. This approach of photometric metallicity of RR Lyrae based on multiband optical light curves will be particularly relevant for distance measurements in the era of the Vera C Rubin’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time.

We present a cross-correlation analysis between

resolution total intensity and polarization observations from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) at 150 and 220 GHz and 15″ mid-infrared photometry from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) over 107 12.°5 × 12.°5 patches of sky. We detect a spatially isotropic signal in the WISE×ACT TT cross-power spectrum at 30σ significance that we interpret as the correlation between the cosmic infrared background at ACT frequencies and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission from galaxies in WISE, i.e., the cosmic PAH background. Within the Milky Way, the Galactic dust TT spectra are generally well described by power laws in ℓ over the range 103 < ℓ < 104, but there is evidence both for variability in the power-law index and for non-power-law behavior in some regions. We measure a positive correlation between WISE total intensity and ACT E-mode polarization at 1000 < ℓ ≲ 6000 at >3σ in each of 35 distinct ∼100 deg2 regions of the sky, suggesting that alignment between Galactic density structures and the local magnetic field persists to subparsec physical scales in these regions. The distribution of TE amplitudes in this ℓ range across all 107 regions is biased to positive values, while there is no evidence for such a bias in the TB spectra. This work constitutes the highest-ℓ measurements of the Galactic dust TE spectrum to date and indicates that cross-correlation with high-resolution mid-infrared measurements of dust emission is a promising tool for constraining the spatial statistics of dust emission at millimeter wavelengths.
The Structure and Composition of Multiphase Galactic Winds in a Large Magellanic Cloud Mass Simulated Galaxy

Published: January 2024

We present the first results from a high-resolution simulation with a focus on galactic wind driving for an isolated galaxy with a halo mass of ∼1011
M
⊙ (similar to the Large Magellanic Cloud) and a total gas mass of ∼6 × 108
M
⊙, resulting in ∼108 gas cells at ∼4 M
⊙ mass resolution. We adopt a resolved stellar feedback model with nonequilibrium cooling and heating, including photoelectric heating and photoionizing radiation, as well as supernovae, coupled to the second-order meshless finite-mass method for hydrodynamics. These features make this the largest resolved interstellar medium (ISM) galaxy model run to date. We find mean star formation rates around 0.05 M
⊙ yr−1 and evaluate typical time-averaged loading factors for mass (η

M
∼ 1.0, in good agreement with recent observations) and energy (η

E
∼ 0.01). The bulk of the mass of the wind is transported by the warm (T < 5 × 105 K) phase, while there is a similar amount of energy transported in the warm and the hot phases (T > 5 × 105 K). We find an average opening angle of 30° for the wind, decreasing with higher altitude above the midplane. The wind mass loading is decreasing (flat) for the warm (hot) phase as a function of the star formation surface rate density ΣSFR, while the energy loading shows inverted trends with ΣSFR, decreasing for the warm wind and increasing for the hot wind, although with very shallow slopes. These scalings are in good agreement with previous simulations of resolved wind driving in the multiphase ISM.
A novel way to build expert systems with infinite-valued attributes
Authors: Hernando Antonio , Galán-García José Luis , Aguilera-Venegas Gabriel
Published: January 2024

An expert system is a computer program that uses the knowledge of an expert to solve problems in a specific domain. Expert systems are used in a wide variety of fields, such as medicine, financial diagnosis and engineering. The attributes of an expert system are the characteristics of the problems that the system can solve. In traditional expert systems, attributes typically have a finite number of possible values. However, in scenarios where an attribute can assume a value from an infinite (or significantly large finite) set, the expert system cannot be represented using propositional logic. Until now, no method had been identified to implement such a system on a Computer Algebra System. Here, we break new ground by presenting a model that not only addresses this gap but also provides a fresh perspective on previous results. In fact, these prior results can be viewed as specific instances within the broader framework of our proposed solution. In this paper, we put forth an algebraic approach for the development of expert systems capable of handling attributes with infinite values, thereby expanding the problem-solving capacity of these systems.

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 created a havoc worldwide, causing high morbidity, serious complications and mortality. The ORF1ab of SARS-CoV-2 has 16 non-structural proteins which are required for genome replication and transcription. All of these are druggable targets, of which NSP12 (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase), was selected as a potential target for drug molecules. Remdesivir is a recommended drug for SARS-CoV-2 and it targets the RdRp protein. Although Remdesivir was given to COVID-19 patients based on their clinical manifestations, yet the transmission and spread of the virus continued and to add to its pandemicity, new variants emerged from time to time. This necessitates the need for molecular modification of existing antiviral drugs so that more precise targets for halting viral replication can be selected. For this, the approach used was repurposing of the existing drugs. In the present study, ten FDA-approved drugs were chosen on the basis of their properties of inhibiting the RdRp protein. These drugs were subjected for checking the docking score with the target protein. Of these, Remdesivir, Ribavirin, Favipiravir and Baloxavir were taken for further analysis on the basis of their best scores. These drugs were then modified to check the efficiency to inhibit the RdRp and to stop the replication rate of the virus. We docked the modified drugs with the macrodomain of RdRp by using the CB-Dock web server and checked the binding affinity and amino acid contact residues. The modified drugs were also checked for bioactivity in the Molinspiration cheminformatics online tool. Our results showed increased affinity for RdRp of SARS-CoV-2 when compared to the original compound. We also checked the synthetic accessibility of the drugs using the SwissADME tool. The study showed promising results when modified. The findings reported need further confirmation through wet lab studies.

Association of Immune-Related Adverse Events and the Efficacy of Anti–PD-(L)1 Monotherapy in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer: Adjusting for Immortal-Time Bias
Authors: Yu Ying , Chen Ning , Yu Sizhe , Shen Wanji , Zhai Wanchen , Li Hui , Fan Yun
Published: January 2024

Purpose The association between immune-related adverse events (irAEs) and survival outcomes in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with programmed death-(ligand) 1 [PD-(L)1] inhibitors remains controversial, partly due to variations in dealing with immortal-time bias (ITB).Materials and Methods We retrospectively enrolled 425 advanced NSCLC patients who received anti–PD-(L)1 monotherapy between January 2016 and June 2021, stratifying them into irAE (n=127) and non-irAE (n=298) groups. The primary endpoint was to assess the impact of irAEs on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Landmark (2-, 3-, 6-, and 9-month) and time-dependent Cox analyses were performed to eliminate ITB.Results With a median follow-up of 38.8 months, the occurrence of overall irAEs was significantly associated with superior PFS (11.2 vs. 3.4 months, p < 0.001) and OS (31.4 vs. 14.0 months, p < 0.001), which persisted in landmark and time-dependent Cox analyses. For the main organ-specific irAEs, skin, thyroid, and hepatic irAEs, respectively, showed significantly improved survival compared to the non-irAE group, whereas pneumonitis did not. Single-organ irAEs had the best outcomes compared with multi-organ or no irAE, which also held across subgroups of skin, thyroid, and hepatic irAEs. Moreover, severe grade irAEs and immunotherapy discontinuation had a detrimental effect on survival, systemic steroid therapy showed little effect, while immunotherapy resumption had tolerable safety and a trend of improved survival.Conclusion After adequately adjusting ITB, the occurrence of overall irAEs predicts for favorable efficacy of anti–PD-(L)1 monotherapy in NSCLC, with better outcomes observed in patients with skin, thyroid, or hepatic irAEs, particularly those with single-organ involvement.

Published: January 2024

During an exploratory fieldtrip along the peninsula of Baja California, Mexico, we used mice-baited traps in search of Triatominae, the vectors of Chagas disease. A total of 433 traps were set in five localities following a latitude gradient along the peninsula. Triatominae were caught in rocky ecotopes in two localities. The specimens were identified as Paratriatoma hirsuta in the first locality, and Dipetalogaster maxima in the second, in accordance with the reported distributions of these species. The overall trap success was 3.1%, with an average of 1.3 bugs per positive trap. In the site with most bugs collected, trap success was 26.8%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that mice-baited traps have been used in this geographic area to collect Triatominae bugs. This short report confirms the usefulness of this trapping system when standardized protocols are needed.

Published: January 2024

This article assesses the potentials of artisanal fisheries in spearheading the on-going Zanzibar blue economy transformation. It focuses on five artisanal fisheries potentials, adopted from the five livelihood assets of the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA); financial, physical, natural, human and social. Data were drawn from 333 artisanal fishers in five Zanzibar villages using a cross-sectional research design. A questionnaire survey was employed to collect data and analysed using descriptive statistics of frequencies and percentages. Qualitative data were obtained through FGDs and direct observations and analysed thematically. The study results revealed that (96%) of fishers lacked access to loans to support their artisanal fisheries. Again, (54.65%) of fishers used canoe, which is one of the traditional and inefficient fishing vessels. Furthermore, (65.17%) of the fishers did not own the fishing vessels, however, majority of them (80.48%) owned fishing gears. The study also shows that there was low application of fishing technologies in artisanal fisheries. It further revealed that (79.88%) of the respondents had informal knowledge and skills which they inherited from their forefathers and (90.69%) of fishers were not attendants of any capacity building programmes organised either by governmental or non-governmental organisations, while, (58.86%) of the fishers sell their fish catches at their village market that lack modern fish preservation infrastructures. It also revealed that (77.78%) were non-members of fishers’ cooperatives. The study, therefore, recommends that the potentials of artisanal fisheries have to be improved and supported by governmental, non-governmental organisations, and other fisheries stakeholders to ensure sustainable spearheading of the exiting blue economy transformation in Zanzibar Islands.

Published: January 2024

Inspired by the split decomposition of graphs and rank-width, we introduce
the notion of $r$-splits. We focus on the family of $r$-splits of a graph of
order $n$, and we prove that it forms a hypergraph with several properties. We
prove that such hypergraphs can be represented using only $\mathcal O(n^{r+1})$
of its hyperedges, despite its potentially exponential number of hyperedges. We
also prove that there exist hypergraphs that need at least $\Omega(n^r)$
hyperedges to be represented, using a generalization of set orthogonality.

Published: January 2024

This research examines collaboration between the government, community, academia, entrepreneurs and the media, known as the ‘penta helix’, in developing social inclusion for persons with disabilities (PwD) in Indonesia. This descriptive and qualitative study collects data through observation, focus group discussions and in-depth interviews. The research informants were determined purposively from representatives of the penta helix who were seen as understanding or having the authority to interact with PwD. For data analysis, Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis model was employed. Regarding the five areas of the penta helix, the study found that the government exercised political power through the issuance of Regional Regulation 9 of 2020 concerning the protection and fulfilment of the rights of PwD. The regulation aims to ensure that PwD receive the same rights and opportunities as other citizens. The community has a role as social power through creating care classes for PwD for people to understand the culture and self-development of PwD. Academics function as a knowledge power by developing campus inclusion standards and collaborating with national and international funding institutions to carry out the three pillars of higher education on the issue of PwD. Industry plays a role as social justice power in supporting the provision of venture capital assistance and work skills training for PwD. The media holds the power of brand image so that discriminatory views against PwD transform into fulfilling the rights of PwD. Understanding stakeholders’ role in the penta helix collaboration helps develop a social inclusion model for PwD.

A ETICIDADE NA CONTRAPOSIÇÃO AO CAPITAL E SUA MANIFESTAÇÃO NO SERVIÇO SOCIAL
Authors: Lyra Lima Félix Tatiana
Published: January 2024

O presente texto enfoca a peculiaridade da eticidade no interior das contradições que plasmam a sociedade forjada na acumulação de mais-valor e na intensificação da exploração da força de trabalho assalariada. O debate tem como ponto de inflexão a consideração marxiana dos limites da eticidade no modo de produção capitalista, mediante a crítica endereçada à filosofia hegeliana e ao sistema do capital. A partir dos limites estabelecidos à eticidade, no interior de um sistema econômico alienado-fetichizado-reificado, a presente investigação busca também apreender a capilaridade da eticidade plasmada no Serviço Social. Pela mediação da análise da peculiaridade histórica dos códigos de ética profissional, intenta-se esquadrinhar o estatuto ontológico da eticidade e sua contraposição ao sistema centrado na exploração do trabalho e nas espoliações, explícitos estrategicamente nos princípios fundamentais do Código de Ética de 1993. Para a elucidação da eticidade numa perspectiva crítica ao sistema do capital, recorrer-se-á às contribuições teóricas de Karl Marx, G. Lukács, István Mészáros, Agnes Heller, Maria Lúcia Barroco, José Paulo Netto, Henrique de Lima Vaz, entre outros.
FUNDO PÚBLICO E ORÇAMENTO PÚBLICO
Authors: Nogueira Yan Carlos
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo versa sobre as diferenças teóricas entre o fundo público e o orçamento público. Para tanto, foi necessário explorar o diálogo com a Economia Política Marxista. Do ângulo dos procedimentos metodológicos, vale-se da revisão de bibliografia, revisitando parte da produção teórica sobre o tema. Contudo, não incorre em incursão pelas Finanças Públicas, disciplina que trata da administração financeira do Estado, embora, por sua relevância, estabelece-se com ela uma crítica discussão, com a cautela de não avançar para além de barreiras introdutórias. O foco da argumentação reside na análise de categorias capazes de reproduzir o movimento real do fundo público para, desse modo, evidenciar seus nexos com o orçamento público. Por fim, à guisa de conclusão, coloca-se em relevo a particularidade nacional, especialmente a maneira com que a gestão pública foi erigida em nosso país.

O artigo em tela tem como objetivo trazer reflexões sobre a saúde, seus determinantes e sua determinação, visando descobrir as potencialidades de sua apropriação pelos profissionais da saúde. Todavia, o intento deste breve ensaio é deixar claro a concepção de saúde fundada no materialismo histórico-dialético como condição de realização das conquistas de gênero humano. Para isso, recorremos a alguns autores em uma tentativa de releitura dos fundamentos marxistas, associando teoria e prática.  Os apontamentos realizados surgiram das vivências e inquietações nos espaços de acompanhamentos clínicos e sociais aos usuários/as, visitas multiprofissionais nas enfermarias, reuniões e visitas domiciliares, enquanto residentes da área médica e multiprofissional em dois cenários de prática distintos, uma Unidade de Saúde da Família, situada na Atenção Primária em saúde e em um Hospital Universitário, integrado à rede de média e alta complexidade em saúde. Diante disso, o olhar é voltado a compreender que a determinação social da saúde se faz pela análise do modo de produção, isto é, da estrutura macrossocietária e conjuntural. Dessa maneira, as condutas dos diversos profissionais da saúde não podem estar pautadas somente no aspecto biomédico e medicamentoso, deslocada dos fatores econômicos, sociais, psicológicos-comportamentais, culturais, ambientais, étnico-raciais entre outros que se interseccionam e incidem no processo saúde-doença dos/as usuários/as. Ademais, esse conceito ampliado de saúde é um elemento primordial para que se desdobre a prática interprofissional entre as diversas áreas que formam as equipes de saúde no SUS e almejam ofertar uma assistência à saúde integral.
ESPACIALIZAÇÃO GEOGRÁFICA DAS RELAÇÕES SOCIAIS LIGADAS A EDUCAÇÃO E DAS PROFISSIONALIZAÇÕES DE ADOLESCENTES E JOVENS NO SISTEMA SOCIOEDUCATIVO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Viana Rodrigues Vanderson
Published: January 2024

Este artigo versa sobre a educação e das profissionalizações de adolescentes e jovens em cumprimento de medida no sistema socioeducativo brasileiro, sendo um tema relativamente novo em trabalhos acadêmicos e na literatura das ciências jurídicas, humanas e sociais. Apesar das tentativas de alguns estados brasileiros de importar as ideias de profissionalização e educação das escolas técnicas para ambientes de cárcere, tendo em vista o cumprimento das Leis Federais nº 8.069/90 e 12.594/2012, as peculiaridades do sistema socioeducativo forcam a uma metodologia e aparato próprio, assim como uma dinâmica que envolve mecanismos como o da educação de jovens e adultos - EJA e os cursos de Formação Inicial e Continuada - FICs. Deste modo, analisar o que tange essa concepção na legislação e nos dados técnicos do Instituto Alana para o ano de 2022 foram o substrato para compreender a condução deste eixo do sistema socioeducativo. Assim, apresentamos perfazimentos de que a legislação é cumprida em apenas 14 estados e pelo Distrito Federal o que corresponde a 55.5% do total do país, ficando de fora ainda 12 estados, e assim desassistidos grande parte dos adolescentes e jovens em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa. É a partir dessas referências que formulamos a sua tese de que a o sistema socioeducativo é, simultaneamente, lugar da alteridade e expressão da coexistência dos tempos históricos dos adolescentes e jovens que ali estão. Sendo assim, um espaço do diverso, pressuposto metodológico que o método da dialética, encontra lugar mais adequado e mais rico para norte da investigação.

Authors: Rodrigues Estrela Camila , Borges Fernanda
Published: January 2024

O presente trabalho visa relatar a ação de extensão realizada pela Universidade de Vassouras, do campus de Maricá, através do Centro de Atendimento em Serviço Social (CASS), em seu Núcleo de Atividade Extensionista (NAE) Mulher, voltado principalmente para o atendimento à mulheres negras e indígenas. A intervenção diz respeito à atividade realizada no mês de outubro, do ano de dois mil e vinte e três, junto à trinta trabalhadoras da referida universidade, em alusão à campanha de prevenção ao câncer de mama, do Ministério da Saúde, com o objetivo de possibilitar um debate crítico quanto à construção social do processo formativo de torna-se mulher, diante do contexto alienante, misógino e machista da sociedade capitalista. A atividade deu-se a partir de uma perspectiva crítica de leitura da sociedade, com um debate coletivo, fomentado através de elementos facilitadores como: dinâmica integrativa, música (letra), vídeo sobre a prevenção ao câncer de mama, confecção de cartazes e relato sobre objetos afetivos, cujo resultado proporcionou uma maior integração entre as trabalhadoras, através do conhecimento de vivências e perspectivas trocadas, como também da ampliação do olhar mútuo para a compreensão ampliada para além das profissionais vistas no dia a dia, podendo perceberem-se enquanto processos sociais individuais e coletivos, muitas das vezes comuns. A fim de contemplar o maior número de participantes, a atividade foi realizada em dois turnos: manhã e tarde.

Published: January 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o trabalho do assistente social dentro de uma equipe de cuidados paliativos. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, realizada por meio de buscas no site da SCIELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), no período de janeiro a março deste ano. Os cuidados paliativos têm sido cada vez mais discutidos no âmbito da saúde, sendo uma abordagem que visa melhorar a qualidade de vida de pacientes que sofrem de doenças graves e/ou incuráveis. No contexto do serviço social, os cuidados paliativos apresentam desafios específicos, uma vez que trabalhamos com a subjetividade do sujeito e de sua família no momento de tanta fragilidade. Dessa forma, na busca por compreender melhor o assunto e me sentindo inspirada após a proximidade com a temática enquanto residente multiprofissional, esse artigo foi elaborado no intuito de ressaltar a importância do trabalho do assistente social, assim como um estudo reflexivo sobre as intervenções e competências do profissional nos cuidados paliativos.

Authors: Molinari Deivison Carvalho
Published: January 2024

As intervenções por meio de “obras” públicas realizadas pela Prefeitura Municipal de Manaus e Governo do Estado do Amazonas apresentam-se de duas formas: urbanístico-ambientais integradas e pontuais. As intervenções urbanístico-ambientais integradas, tais como Programa Social e Ambiental dos Igarapés de Manaus (PROSAMIN), Estação de Captação e Distribuição do PROAMA, entre outros, apresentam como caracterisiticas comuns, tais como: grande escala socioespacial, contingente significativo de pessoas direta/indiretamente beneficiadas e afetadas, área de influencia direta/indireta para além do objeto de intervenção, ações de natureza múltipla, integrada e condicionadas ao tipo de obra, execução multisetorial, etc. Por outro lado, as obras pontuais, como o caso daRecuperação “Revitalização” dasÁreas de Risco a voçorocamento, são marcadas principalmente por ser de pequena escala socioespacial, baixo contingente de pessoas direta/indiretamente beneficiadas e afetadas, área de influencia direta/indireta restrita ao objeto de intervenção, etc. Neste sentido, este artigo destaca as intervenções realizadas pelo Poder Público (Municipal e Estadual) nos ultimos 17 anos com enfase nas obras (concluidas, em andamento e paralisadas), responsabilidade pela execução e a distribuição especial (bairro e zona administrativa) visando obter visão holistica das ações corretivas realizadas e das politica pública implementadas pela administração municipal/estadual sobre as áreas de risco a voçorocamento em Manaus.

Synthetic chemists are increasingly exploring alternative routes to target products, considering factors like environmental threats, side product formation, cost, and efficiency. This is coupled with the health challenges that require urgent responses from new chemical entities. In this context, antimicrobial resistance has exacerbated global diseases, making them difficult to treat with prescribed drugs and causing a persistent public health crisis. These triggered our interest in the search for alternative antimicrobial agents, exploring different synthetic strategies for known bioactive natural compounds for further investigations. In this study, Lewis acid catalyst (FeCl3) and tetrahydrofuran as solvents in the one-pot synthesis of (neo)flavonoid derivatives from readily available phenols and ethyl phenylpropiolate were discovered to afford the coumarins in yields of 43–95%. The synthetic derivatives of 7-hydroxy-4-phenyl-2H-chromen-2-one and analogs obtained were biologically investigated for antimicrobial activity. The compounds showed moderate to poor antimicrobial activity. The effects of different substituents (-R) on the yield of the reaction are also discussed. Future studies should enhance the yield of derivative products and use different assay models for biological activity studies to fully explore the compounds` biorelevance.

Combretum species exhibit potent antibacterial and antifungal properties, but limited studies exist for most species. This study reports for the first time the in vitro antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities of Combretum platypetalum leaf, stem, and root. Fungi and bacterial strains implicated in the causes of some of the conditions to which C. platypetalum is traditionally applied were evaluated by Agar-well diffusion and micro-dilution methods, and their biofilm inhibition capacities were investigated. The highest zone of fungal inhibition of 22.70 ± 2.08 mm against C. albicans and the highest zone of bacterial inhibition of 21.70 ± 2.08 mm against S. aureus were observed. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranged between 0.0156 mg/mL and 8.0000 mg/mL for fungi and 0.3906 mg/mL and 8.0000 mg/mL for bacteria at P = 0.0002. The best minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs), at P = 0.003, were observed at 0.0630 mg/mL for the leaf against C. glabrata and C. neoformans and 0.5 mg/mL for the root against C. neoformans, respectively. The highest biofilm inhibition of 40.61%, 36.04%, and 23.85% was observed in the stem, root, and leaf extracts against C. glabrata. Chloroform leaf extract reveals ?-sitosterol as the active antifungal and antibacterial agent. Computational antifungal activity and molecular docking analysis of the structure versus target (sterol 14?- demethylase) show a binding affinity for druggability. The leaves and roots are the most potent parts of the plant, with leaf extracts showing non-synergistic effects. Bioguided isolation is recommended to fully explore the species' evidence-based therapeutic potential.

The study sought to examine the perceived risk factors contributing to child abuse during the COVID-19 pandemic in Zambia. A mixed-method approach supported by a concurrent triangulation research design was used in the study. The sample was 107; involving 92 service providers and 15 parents/caregivers. The participants were selected using expert and homogeneous purposive sampling approaches. A questionnaire involving closed and open-ended questions was employed in the collection of data. In quantitative analysis, the study used Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to arrive at primary descriptive statistics and inferential test results. Qualitative data was analysed using a thematic approach. Documentary data analysis was used to arrive at secondary data to supplement primary data. The study revealed that despite a decrease in reported child abuse cases during the pandemic, various risk factors persisted such as: age of the child, gender of the child, lack of parent-child attachment, physical or developmental disabilities, gender disparities, and increasing child vulnerability. It was evident from the study that, pandemic-related child protection services needed targeted strategies that addressed individual, familial, and societal factors, with a focus on prevention, intervention, and support measures to safeguard children. The study, therefore, emphasizes the need for comprehensive child protection interventions, including the creation of safe spaces, community awareness programmes, food security, mental health support, and fast-track court services.
