Examining Intersectionality and Barriers to the Uptake of Video Consultations Among Older Adults From Disadvantaged Backgrounds With Limited English Proficiency: Qualitative Narrative Interview Study
Authors: Husain Laiba , Greenhalgh Trisha
Published: November 2024

Background

The rapid shift to video consultation services during the COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about exacerbating existing health inequities, particularly for disadvantaged populations. Intersectionality theory provides a valuable framework for understanding how multiple dimensions of disadvantage interact to shape health experiences and outcomes.

Objective

This study aims to explore how multiple dimensions of disadvantage—specifically older age, limited English proficiency, and low socioeconomic status—intersect to shape experiences with digital health services, focusing on video consultations.

Methods

Following familiarization visits and interviews with service providers, 17 older people with multiple markers of disadvantage (older age, low socioeconomic status, and limited English proficiency) were recruited in the Redbridge borough of London. Data collection included narrative interviews and ethnographic observations during home visits. Field notes captured participants’ living conditions, family dynamics, and technological arrangements. Guided by intersectionality theory and digital capital concepts, interviews explored participants’ experiences accessing health care remotely. Intersectional narrative analysis was used to identify key themes and examine how different forms of disadvantage interact. We developed theoretically informed narrative portraits and user personas to synthesize findings.

Results

Analysis revealed that the digitalization of health care can exacerbate existing inequities, erode trust, compound oppression, and reduce patient agency for multiply disadvantaged patient populations. Examining intersectionality illuminated how age, language proficiency, and socioeconomic status interact to create unique barriers and experiences. Key themes included the following: weakened presence in digital interactions, erosion of therapeutic relationships, shift from relational to distributed continuity, increased complexity leading to disorientation, engagement shaped by previous experiences of discrimination, and reduced patient agency.

Conclusions

This study provides critical insights into how the digitalization of health care can deepen disparities for older patients with low income and limited English proficiency. By applying intersectionality theory to digital health disparities, our findings underscore the need for multifaceted approaches to digital health equity that address the complex interplay of disadvantage. Recommendations include co-designing inclusive digital services, strengthening relational continuity, and developing targeted support to preserve agency and trust for marginalized groups in an increasingly digital health care landscape.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

Telerehabilitation involves the delivery of rehabilitation services through communication technologies. In contrast to traditional in-person rehabilitation, telerehabilitation can help overcome barriers including geographic distance and facility use. There is evidence to suggest that telerehabilitation can lead to increased patient engagement and adherence to treatment plans. However, limited research exists on the association of telerehabilitation with adverse events, potentially hindering its broader adoption and utilization in healthcare.

OBJECTIVE

This systematic review of randomized controlled trials aims to summarize existing research on adverse events related to telerehabilitation delivery.

METHODS

This review was conducted according to the methodological framework outlined by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Studies were identified from MEDLINE ALL, EMBASE, APA PsycINFO, CENTRAL, and CINAHL. Included studies were randomized controlled trials published between 2013 and 2023, written in English, and had no geographic or delivery mode restrictions. Data extraction utilized the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) framework, along with authors, publication year, sample size, specific telerehabilitation modes, and the incidence, type, severity, and relatedness of reported adverse events. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias tool.

RESULTS

Search results identified 9,022 references, of which 37 randomized controlled trials met the criteria for inclusion. There were a total of 3,166 participants, with a mean age of 57.4 years, and 32.3% being female. Various delivery modes were utilized, with videoconferencing emerging as the most frequently employed method. A total of 201 adverse events were recorded during 65,352 sessions (0.31% or 3.1/1000 sessions). These events were predominantly physical (e.g., falls, palpitations), non-serious/mild, and not directly attributed to the telerehabilitation intervention. Additionally, 92.2% of included studies implemented various safety practices including vital signs monitoring, safety checklists, and scheduled check-ins with study personnel.

CONCLUSIONS

This review demonstrates that telerehabilitation exhibits a generally safe profile as an alternative to in-person rehabilitation, with most reported adverse events being rare, non-serious/mild, and unrelated to telerehabilitation protocols. However, more extensive research with detailed reporting on adverse events characteristics is needed. Moreover, future research should evaluate the effectiveness of different safety practices and their association with adverse events. An enhanced understanding of potential risks in telerehabilitation can foster broader adoption while ensuring its safe implementation among healthcare providers and patients.

Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

Machine learning (ML) has been gradually applied to cervical cancer research, but rarely combines both clinical parameters and image data. Meanwhile, more robust and accurate preoperative assessment of parametrial invasion and lymph node metastasis, as well as postoperative prognosis prediction are also in urgent need.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to develop an integrated ML model that integrates clinicopathological parameters as well as MR images and includes both pre- and post-operation evaluation in cervical cancer (CC) patients.

METHODS

Data of CC patients from 2014 to 2022 in two tertiary hospitals were retrospectively collected and an exempt was granted by the Ethics Committee for this purpose. Variables were analyzed for their predictive value of parametrial invasion, lymph node metastasis, survival and recurrence using 7 ML models. The predictive performance of all 7 ML models was compared and an AI-assisted contouring and prognosis prediction system is developed based on optimal machine learning algorithms.

RESULTS

This study included 250 women for analysis (11 deaths, 24 recurrences): (1) In terms of evaluation of both parametrial invasions and lymph node metastasis, integrated ML models with weighted KNN outperformed other ML models, especially in the case of sensitivity. (2) An integrated model using weighted KNN achieved optimal performance in predicting recurrence and survival times for postoperative CC patients, showing high accuracy and balanced sensitivity. (3) an AI-assisted contouring and prognosis prediction system was developed that assists in lesion identification, preoperative evaluation and postoperative prognosis prediction.

CONCLUSIONS

The integration of clinical data and MR image through ML models offers superior preoperative diagnostic and postoperative prognostic prediction capabilities, potentially reducing clinical errors and enabling tailored, precise treatment strategies.
Analysis of the Prognostic Impact of Heart Rate Deceleration Capacity on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Ventricular Premature Contractions
Authors: Ren Xiujun
Published: November 2024

At present, one of the greatest life-threatening risks for patients with type 2 diabetes is cardiovascular complications. According to relevant research, approximately 70% to 80% of these patients die due to cardiovascular disease. Compared to non-diabetic individuals, diabetic patients face a two- to four-fold higher risk of developing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, with vascular complications resulting in an average life expectancy reduction of about 12 years. Increasing evidence indicates that cardiovascular-related indicators become abnormal as early as the initial stages of type 2 diabetes. During this period, the likelihood of adverse cardiovascular events rises, and cardiac autonomic dysfunction (CAD) begins, disrupting the balance between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems and thereby increasing cardiovascular disease risk. Cardiac autonomic dysfunction is one of many severe complications, and ventricular premature contractions are common arrhythmias in patients with type 2 diabetes, often seen as key indicators of declining cardiac function. Continuous heart rate deceleration, observed as deceleration runs (DRs) in Holter ECGs, manifests as a gradual prolongation of consecutive RR intervals, an indicator useful in assessing cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Persistent hyperglycemia or pre-diabetic states are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), and strict blood glucose control helps slow the progression of microvascular complications. HRV monitoring is an effective method for evaluating early-stage cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN), providing a quantitative assessment of autonomic function and aiding in diagnosing other vascular complications.

Published: November 2024

Healthcare associated infections are the potential cause of morbidity and mortality amongst paediatric population. Widespread antimicrobial use amongst paediatric population leads to the antimicrobial resistance. Bloodstream infections amongst the paediatric population are the leading cause of death. The objective of the study was to determine the general trend of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern in the paediatric and neonatal age group in the ICU setting. Retrospective analysis was done of all the patients of paediatric and neonatal age group who were admitted in ICU including patients on ventilators, and whose blood samples were sent to the lab for culture and sensitivity testing. The sample profile from PICU and NICU shows the total numbers of 3056 samples (including blood, ET secretion, pus, urine, pleural fluid, etc.) were received in the laboratory from paediatric and Neonatal ICU during the study period. Total blood samples received from PICU and NICU were 1310 (sample size). Out of these, blood samples received from PICU were 618 (33.76%), of which 173 (28%) were positive, whereas, 692 (56.52%) blood samples were received from NICU, of which 242 (35%) were positive. The blood samples showed that in PICU, CONS (20.75%), and Staphylococcus aureus (16.98%) were found in maximum numbers. In NICU, Klebsiella pneumoniae were obtained in maximum numbers (30.77%), followed by Acinetobacter baumannii (21.98%). CONS (Methicillin resistant) were found 100% susceptible against Linezolid, followed by Vancomycin and Clindamycin (83% each). Staphylococcus aureus showed 100% sensitivity for Teicoplanin. Klebsiella pneumoniae, were found to be most susceptible to Tigecycline (74.07%) and Colistin (70.37%). Acinetobacter in blood of PICU patients showed high level of resistance with only 37.5% sensitivity for Colistin and Minocycline each, 12.5% sensitivity for Amikacin. To our conclusion, Linezolid was found to be the best Antimicrobial agent against MRCONS, whereas, Linezolid, Teicoplanin, Tetracyclines were found to have good efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus. The best antimicrobial agents against Klebsiella pneumonia and E. coli were Colistin and Tigecycline.

Published: November 2024

Integrons are the special group of mobile genetic elements which can acquire, shuffle and spread antimicrobial resistance genes. They mediate drug resistance among Enterobacteriaceae and Non-fermenters. The present study investigation was undertaken to envisage the presence of Class I integrase gene among multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. In this prospective study, 60 bacterial isolates from various clinical specimens were subjected to routine identification and susceptibility testing by conventional methods. Later the isolates were subjected for detection of intI1 gene by conventional PCR. The overall prevalence of intI1 gene among the clinical isolates was 60% (36/60) in our study. Class I integrase gene distribution among multidrug resistant bacteria was 80% (24/30) in comparison to non-multidrug resistant bacteria 43.34% (13/30). Antibiotics that were linked to Class I Integrons and shown to be statistically significant (p = 0.05) included ampicillin, aztreonam, ciprofloxacin, cefazolin, cefepime and tobramycin all showed high levels of resistance. Prevalence of intI1 gene was high among Enterobacteriaceae than Non-fermenters. There is a significant association between intI1 gene and multidrug resistance among these pathogens. Klebsiella species are highly multidrug resistant in comparison to other isolates and all of them harboured intI1 gene. Integrons can be a platform for the discovery of certain new metabolic pathways which can bring revolution in the field of antibiotic drug resistance. The information on the Integrons will aid us in prompt utilization of antimicrobial agents for the treatment.

The advantage of quantum control in many-body Hamiltonian learning
Authors: Dutkiewicz Alicja , O'Brien Thomas E. , Schuster Thomas
Published: November 2024

We study the problem of learning the Hamiltonian of a many-body quantum system from experimental data. We show that the rate of learning depends on the amount of control available during the experiment. We consider three control models: one where time evolution can be augmented with instantaneous quantum operations, one where the Hamiltonian itself can be augmented by adding constant terms, and one where the experimentalist has no control over the system's time evolution. With continuous quantum control, we provide an adaptive algorithm for learning a many-body Hamiltonian at the Heisenberg limit: T=O(ϵ−1), where T is the total amount of time evolution across all experiments and ϵ is the target precision. This requires only preparation of product states, time-evolution, and measurement in a product basis. In the absence of quantum control, we prove that learning is standard quantum limited, T=Ω(ϵ−2), for large classes of many-body Hamiltonians, including any Hamiltonian that thermalizes via the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. These results establish a quadratic advantage in experimental runtime for learning with quantum control.
Remote Monitoring and Early Detection of Labor Progress Using IoT-Enabled Smart Health Systems for Rural Healthcare Accessibility
Authors: D Jayasutha
Published: November 2024

Delayed detection of labor pain in pregnant women, especially during their first delivery, often leads to delays in reaching healthcare facilities, potentially resulting in complications. This research proposes an innovative IoT-enabled system for remote monitoring of labor progress and fetal health, designed specifically to address the needs of women in remote areas within a 100 km radius of healthcare facilities. The system includes a wearable device integrated with sensors to detect the onset of labor pain and continuously monitor the fetal heartbeat. Upon detecting labor pain, the system automatically sends an alert to the medical team, allowing timely intervention.
Experimental results demonstrate the system's efficacy with a 99.2% accuracy in detecting labor onset and a 98.5% reliability in fetal heartbeat monitoring. The latency for alert transmission was measured at an average of 3.2 seconds, ensuring prompt notification to healthcare providers. The proposed solution enhances accessibility to maternal care, reduces complications due to delayed hospital admission, and provides continuous fetal monitoring, even in resource-constrained environments. This innovation bridges the gap in maternal healthcare delivery for underserved regions, offering a practical, cost-effective, and scalable solution.

Drivers of Advanced Digital Technologies
Authors: Fikirli Özlem , Şahin Hasan
Published: November 2024

Advancements in digital technologies, especially computer and information systems, force firms to adopt them in their production processes. Artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data analytics, robotics, smart devices, and blockchain are the leading advanced technologies. This study explores the drivers of firms’ adoption of these technologies by estimating a multivariate probit model utilizing a Eurobarometer dataset. A statistically significant and positive correlation between the error terms of all models indicates that investigating the adoption of all advanced digital technologies together is more appropriate than independent analyses. Drivers of advanced digital technologies appear similar with decisive factors in using new technologies, and implementation of any type of innovation significantly increases the probability of adoption. The other determinants are the firm size, interaction with international markets, and the network structure of the market in which firms operate. Furthermore, location positively impacts the adoption of cloud computing and big data analytics, while it exerts no significant influence on the adoption of other types of advanced digital technologies.
Uncertainty and Money Demand Function in Developing Countries
Authors: Aşık Bekir
Published: November 2024

As monetary policy authorities influence many macroeconomic variables by determining monetary aggregates, their relationships with other macroeconomic variables are critical in setting the most appropriate monetary policy rules. Identifying the variables affecting money demand and having a stable money demand function is essential for monetary policy. This paper examines the stability of the money demand function for 12 developing countries over the sample 2006.Q1-2023.Q3. We employ the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model and the Cross-Sectionally Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model because of the different degrees of integration of the selected variables. According to the results, there is a stable long-run relation in the money demand function for selected developing countries. The uncertainty variable, which is the study’s primary objective, affects money demand negatively in the long run; it does not temporarily affect the demand for money. The findings also indicate that the real GDP (inflation) positively (negatively) impacts demand for real monetary aggregates as expected. The real interest rate measuring the opportunity cost of holding money does not significantly affect money demand. Although the effect of the exchange rate is positive in the short run, it turns negative as time passes and in the long run. This finding supports the ‘wealth effect’ in developing countries.

Published: November 2024

A caracterização dos sistemas deposicionais costeiros através do uso e interpretação dos dados de sensoriamento remoto, viabiliza estudos tanto em superfície quanto na subsuperfície desse ambiente. Em um cenário de mudanças ambientais globais, os ambientes deposicionais costeiros configuram-se como um dos ecossistemas mais vulneráveis a elevação do nível do mar. O objetivo desse trabalho foi caracterizar a dinâmica morfológica do pontal arenoso do rio Araranguá, em Santa Catarina, entre os anos de 1984 e 2021, a partir de imagens de satélite multiespectrais em superfície dos sensores ópticos orbitais Thematic Mapper (TM)/Landsat 5, Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+)/Landsat 7 e Operational Terra Imager (OLI)/Landsat 8. Para isso, foi utilizado um intervalo de 37 anos de imagens de satélite, cujo dados foram obtidas no banco de dados “Earth Explorer”, do Serviço Geológico dos Estados Unidos. O processamento digital das imagens foi realizado no software ENVI, versão 5.3. As feições deposicionais foram identificadas, vetorizadas e os mapas temáticos foram gerados no software ArcGIS®, versão 10.3. Os dados morfométricos gerados foram tabulados, analisados e comparados em planilhas eletrônicas. O pontal apresenta tendência de acreção sedimentar em relação a sua área e comprimento, e está em processo de progradação em direção nordeste. O pontal progradou aproximadamente 3550 m no período analisado, e sua área acresceu 670 m². A taxa média de progradação calculada foi de 98,5 m por ano. A morfodinâmica do pontal arenoso do rio Araranguá está condicionada aos eventos de sobrelavagem costeira, inundação e as intervenções humanas.

En este artículo indagaremos en las prácticas de reproducción asistida dentro de la comunidad judía ortodoxa de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. Para estos grupos, la reproducción constituye un mandato divino que debe realizarse de manera intracomunitaria. Por esa razón, se encuentra regulado rabínicamente cada uno de los aspectos de la vida sexo-reproductiva de las parejas y de los procedimientos técnico-científicos para lograr embarazos mediante la técnicas de reproducción humana asistida. Estas regulaciones dependen de la supervisión e intervención de personas con la expertise tecno-científica y tecno-religiosa para orientar el proceso de formación de familias efectivamente judías. Se han creado para este fin, dos dispositivos de acompañamiento, Majón Puáh y Ohel Iaakov, ambos serán objeto de este artículo. La procreación dentro de las comunidades judías ortodoxas, además de ser un proyecto personal, cumple principalmente la función de sostener y reproducir al pueblo judío. Es decir, tanto la fertilidad como la infertilidad son dones comunitarios, dentro de la cosmovisión judía ortodoxa. En ese sentido, uno de los hallazgos de esta investigación es entender el judaísmo como una condición biológica y comunitaria que se coproducen mutuamente.
A PRESENÇA PÚBLICA DA IGREJA UNIVERSAL DO REINO DE DEUS NOS GOVERNOS PETISTAS (2003-2016)
Authors: Campos Roberta Bivar Carneiro , Viana Maria Fernanda Valeriano Benevides
Published: November 2024

A Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD), a maior denominação neopentecostal do Brasil, há décadas chama atenção dos cientistas sociais, entre outras razões, por seu expressivo crescimento na política institucional do país. Curiosamente, faltam estudos que abordem a mais extensa aliança política da IURD a nível federal: sua coligação com o Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), período em que a igreja alcançou espaços inéditos em seus empreendimentos públicos. Diante disso, este trabalho teve como objetivo investigar a presença pública da IURD durante os governos petistas (2003-2016). Procuramos entender a atuação da IURD como processo de “dispersão do religioso” (BURITY, 2015) e  a abordagem do tema seguiu uma perspectiva antropológica-histórica, atentando para a investigação de como a igreja foi expandindo seus espaços na esfera pública ao longo de sua aliança com o PT. Com dados coletados através de uma pesquisa documental empreendida, principalmente, nos meios de comunicação oficiais da IURD no período em questão, expomos e analisamos o encadeamento de algumas das práticas públicas traçadas pela igreja que, feitas com o objetivo de ocupar a centralidade do poder (CAMPOS; SOUZA, 2020), aprofundaram seus espaços na política nacional através da coligação com o PT. A análise desta aliança foi capaz de indicar caminhos investigativos interessantes sobre a atuação política da Igreja Universal, tema que deve reunir atenção de mais pesquisadores para avançarmos na compreensão do projeto de domínio de espaços que o movimento neopentecostal (do qual a IURD é representante exemplar) têm tido êxito em ocupar na esfera pública brasileira.
ATIVISMO CATÓLICO DE COMBATE EM OPERAÇÃO
Authors: Sales Lilian
Published: November 2024

Analisaremos neste artigo as novas características adquiridas pelo ativismo católico antiaborto e antigênero no Brasil nos últimos cinco anos, acompanhado pela formação e atuação de grupos católicos que se reconhecem como conservadores e tradicionalistas. O ponto de partida da investigação foi o exame de algumas cenas nos quais observamos esse ativismo em operação em manifestações públicas e campanhas antiaborto e antigênero. Iniciamos a observação destas manifestações no ano de 2018, e prosseguimos até 2022, inclusive durante o período pandêmico, nos quais nos detivemos na análise das publicações online. Como resultado, identificamos duas características deste novo ativismo, que se diferenciam do ativismo anterior: a incorporação de elementos simbólicos e rituais da Igreja Católica no enfretamento público ao posicionamento pela descriminalização do aborto e dos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos e a adoção de atitudes de combate e enfrentamento aos grupos antagonistas, representados por movimentos da sociedade civil, especialmente aqueles defensores dos direitos relacionados ao gênero e à reprodução da vida. Esse ativismo católico mobiliza referenciais de um modelo de Igreja anteriores ao Concílio Vaticano II, contrapondo-se aos ideais de liberdade e pluralidade religiosa e, de maneira mais ampla, ao secularismo. Trata-se de um ativismo ostensivamente católico e radicalmente antipluralidade.

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar as condições de transmissão e os sentidos de produção das disposições relacionadas à prática do xadrez na trajetória esportiva de um dos Grandes Mestres brasileiros. A abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa foi utilizada a fim de identificar e analisar em profundidade tal problemática. A seleção do participante apresentado, GM 12, se deu por seu evidenciado destaque e posição ocupados no espaço social enxadrístico. Os dados foram produzidos por entrevistas retrospectivas semiestruturadas e analisados por meio da Análise Temática. Os resultados oferecem subsídios sobre a constituição social dos processos capazes de construir o sucesso esportivo. Em oposição às concepções naturalizadoras e meritocráticas que atribuem aos desempenhos a presença ou a falta de “dons” e “talentos” predestinados, o desvelar de suas bagagens constituiu-se em fecunda alternativa para refutar a própria produção de desigualdades causadas por sua manifestação oculta.

Interventions are required to modify physical activity behaviours in adolescents, and in this regard, education-based actions seem to be effective. The aim of this study was to explore the beliefs and perceptions of the context stakeholders with respect to adolescents’ health behaviours, as well as intervention programmes to gain insight into the setting where the implementation of an intervention is required. Three focus groups were created with twenty-two participants (nine adolescents, four parents, six teachers, and three local politicians). The educational context, in collaboration with the community, was perceived as a setting with high a potential for physical activity promotion. Engagement and coordination of all stakeholders were considered necessary for a tailored intervention, in addition to programme institutionalization to ensure sustainability. Multilevel intervention with a whole-school and community approach is key to increasing physical activity levels among adolescents.

La reducción y análisis contemplo la transcripción, codificación y posterior categorización, mediante la utilización del software Nvivo Pro en su versión 11. Los principales resultados destacan las categorías de Espacio-tiempo (10,10%), las Características del Didacta (49,48%) y las dinámicas relacionales (20,91%) como las más referencias. Se destaca una mirada compleja del fenómeno educativo circense que emerge desde una didáctica inclusiva, cercana y sistemática, que tensiona la didáctica tradicional, presentando nuevas relaciones educativas.
New HPLC method for determination of fluvastatin anti-hyperlipidemic drug in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage using simvastatin as internal standard
Authors: Ashour Safwan , Khateeb Mouhammed
Published: November 2024

A new, and reliable RP–HPLC method has been investigated and validated for the assay of fluvastatin sodium (FVS) in pharmaceutical capsules. The chromatographic method was carried out using an ODS Hypersil C18 column (250×4.6 mm i.d., 5 µm particle size); a mixture containing methanol and 0.10 M ammonium acetate (70:30, v/v), a flow rate 1.0 mL/min and UV detection at 305 nm. The retention time for fluvastatin and the internal standard simvastatin (SVS) was found to be 3.2 and 6.4 minutes, respectively. Despite the wide range of the analyte concentration, the method showed good linearity (r>0.9998) in the range 2.0–320.0 µg mL-1. The proposed method was validated with respect to linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness. The limit of detection was 0.54 µg mL-1. The successful application of the new HPLC method indicates its routine use to quantify of FVS in pharmaceuticals.

To combat the SARS-CoV-2 addition of molnupiravir into the current therapeutic regimen has added new hopes. But currently, not so many analytical methods are available for analyzing molnupiravir. The current study aimed at developing a suitable and efficient RP-UHPLC method for molnupiravir capitalizing full factorial design. The optimized method involved the use of trifluoroacetic acid (0.1%): methanol at a ratio of 65:35 (%, v/v) with fortis diphenyl HPLC column (150 mm x 4.6 mm i.d. [internal diameter], 5 μm particle size). The method was found highly specific (purity index <1.5), linear (0.5-100 μg.mL-1), accurate (~100%), precise, rugged, and robust (%RSD<2). A stress degradation study exhibited that 0.1N HCl at 100˚C (±1˚C) for 2 hours caused drug degradation crossing its limit (>10%), the drug is extremely susceptible to basic hydrolysis and 0.1N NaOH at room temperature for 1 min caused 65.43% degradation, exposure in 3% H2O2 at 100˚C (±1˚C) for 1 hours caused the drug degradation over 10%, and 5 days of exposure to short wavelength UV light caused 13.16% of drug degradation. The research work successfully developed an efficient and validated method for analyzing molnupiravir in the RP-UHPLC system. Moreover, the degradation study performed will aid in adding integral information related to the stability of the drug molecule.

Published: November 2024

Gatifloxacin (GAT), a fluoroquinolone, does not present a monograph described in official compendia and the literature presents some analytical methods for its evaluation, but with space for eco-efficient methods. The objective was to develop and validate a green and indicative of stability method by UV for quantitative evaluation of GAT in eye drops. Purified water, as a diluent, quartz cubette and 286 nm were used. The method was linear in the range of 4 – 12 µg mL-1 (0.9997), precise (RSD < 5 %), selective in the comparison of standard and sample and by the forced degradation, exact with average recovery of 100.21 %, robust against changes in wavelength, source of purified water and use of ultrasound. The method was able to quantify and evaluate the stability of GAT in eye drops in green form according to the Eco-Scale Assessment.
Veredas do protagonismo negro nas produções literárias para a infância
Authors: Batista Patrícia Barros Soares , Caldeira Maria Carolina da Silva
Published: November 2024

Neste artigo, propomos discutir a produção literária para a infância, tendo como prisma o protagonismo negro. A escolha por esse objeto se deu por entender que o discurso literário reproduz algumas características da sociedade na qual foi constituído, sendo fundamental um olhar crítico e sensível para as obras literárias dirigidas ao público infantil. A literatura, uma experiência humana que potencializa os diferentes modos de ser, estar e compreender o mundo, é forma de resistência por ampliar as percepções culturais e identitárias. Trata-se de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, cuja metodologia é a análise documental. O objetivo do artigo é mapear o acervo literário de uma escola pública de Belo Horizonte, tendo como recorte o enfoque étnico-racial, construindo categorias para possibilitar a análise das obras e construir veredas para a produção de resistências por meio da mediação de obras literárias para a infância. Para tanto, adotamos majoritariamente uma epistemologia negra, tendo como principais fontes teóricas: Adichie (2019, Araújo (2018), Almeida (2018), Debus (2017), Kilomba (2019), Mayer e Gomes (2021) entre outros. Como resultados, destacam-se duas grandes categorias nas quais as obras analisadas estão circunscritas, configurando-se como veredas profícuas para a educação das relações étnico-raciais.
