INTELIGÊNCIA POLÍTICA COMO ESTRATÉGIA NA SEGURANÇA PÚBLICA PARANAENSE
Authors: Ferreira Clarindo Maximillian
Published: September 2023

Este trabalho tem por objetivo discutir a inteligência política como estratégia Institucional de segurança pública capaz de suplantar programas/projetos dissonantes da realidade paranaense. Para tanto, adota-se como estudo de caso as tentativas de implementação da polícia comunitária no Estado do Paraná nas duas décadas finais do século XX. A pesquisa de natureza qualitativa e de exploração bibliográfica aponta alguns possíveis equívocos cometidos por diferentes governos na aplicação destas políticas, sobretudo pela perpetuação do pensamento colonial no imaginário social que contamina as forças políticas do estado quando estas importam projetos de outras realidades sociais/culturais para o cotidiano da segurança pública paranaense. Outrossim, percebe-se que tais programas de polícia comunitária são vis porque são concebidos como programas de governo e não de estado, alternando-se na mesma medida em que ocorre a alternância de mandatários. Com caráter propositivo, estima-se que o investimento institucional em inteligência política pode constituir-se em uma estratégia interessante para o assessoramento das forças de segurança pública na medida em que estas podem se antecipar às eventuais ingerências.
Effect of ultrasound homogenisation on the stability of curcumin microencapsulated by spray-drying
Authors: Le Tan Hoang , Nguyen Vinh Tien
Published: September 2023

Microencapsulated curcumin (MEC) that has been by spray-dried has the potential to improve curcumin stability during storage. In the present work, curcumin was encapsulated using soy lecithin and gum Arabic, and different ultrasound energy inputs (UE) for emulsion homogenisation were applied before spray-drying. The microencapsulation yield (MY), microencapsulation efficiency (ME), solubility, powder morphology, and curcumin degradation in the accelerated test were determined. The UE at 70 kJ/kg caused a 2.2-fold increase in the ME of the powder as compared to the control sample. Furthermore, increasing UE from 70 to 175 kJ/kg led to a decrease in particle size, MY, and ME by 32, 15, and 8.9%, respectively. The stability of MEC under different pH conditions was in the order of pH 2 > 7 > 9. Furthermore, MEC showed an improvement in curcumin stability after 30 days of light exposure at 70°C. In general, a lower UE energy showed better performance in terms of curcumin protection and stable morphology of the MEC powder. However, higher UE energy could create smaller particles, and increase product solubility.

Published: September 2023

Polyvinyl alcohol-starch (PVA/ST) active films incorporated with lemongrass oil (LMO) or 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, and LMO (HP-β-CD/LMO) emulsion were developed in the present work. The effects of LMO or HP-β-CD/LMO emulsion on the properties of films, and their application in large yellow croaker preservation were investigated. The average particle size and the encapsulation efficiency of the HP-β-CD/LMO emulsion were 150.07 nm and 81.32%, respectively. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results revealed that HP-β-CD improved the compatibility between PVA and starch, and LMO was well embedded in HP-β-CD. The incorporation of LMO or HP-β-CD/LMO enhanced the water vapour barrier property and flexibility of the film while weakening its mechanical strength. The oxygen barrier property of the film was weakened by the incorporation of LMO and strengthened by HP-β-CD/LMO. The film incorporated with HP-β-CD/LMO exhibited a little weaker antioxidant and antibacterial activities than the film containing LMO owing to their release property. The existence of HP-β-CD postponed the release of LMO from the film into food simulant (10% ethanol). The preservation results demonstrated that the film containing LMO or HP-β-CD/LMO efficiently inhibited the growth of microorganisms and lipid oxidation of fish; and delayed the decomposition of protein and freshness reduction of large yellow croaker. Additionally, the film added with HP-β-CD/LMO exhibited the best protection for fish quality. In other words, the film with the proper release property of active agents contributed to the preservation of aquatic products.

Because of sensor nodes’ constrained capacities concerning computation, communication, and energy, giving protection to WSNs remains competitive. Indeed, the procedure of applying WS remains adaptable and vibrant that develops consistently. Attack-defend’s crux in WS could be conveyed by collaborative schemes of interdependency when Game Theory (GT) could be employed to consider communications amidst schemes of logical decision-makers. Hence, learning WS alongside GT possesses greater logic. This study proffers a Multiplayer Reputation-based Coalition Game Model (MRCGM) for seeking the false data injection amidst the nodes. An attacker attempts to sustain an ideal level of belief by correlating the identifications within the network (NW) to initiate a victorious transfer. Concurrently, the attacker should acquire a few charges for sustaining the trustability of its identifications. This proffered procedure employs this notion and turns the attack expensive by fixing a global threshold for nodes or identifications to be trustable and functional within the NW. Additionally, the beneficial function of the attacker and defender is as well described. The MRCGM has been correlated with 2 advanced methodologies like security-aware routing scheme employing repeated game (SARSRGM) paradigm and a Game-based Fuzzy Q-learning (GBFQL) scheme concerning diverse criteria. Consequently, the proffered MRCGM attains 124 kbps of Packet Drop Rate, 76.14% of energy efficiency, 96.1% of detection accuracy, 25.45% of energy consumption, and 102.45 ms of routing latency.

The technology behind blockchain is quickly becoming one of the most crucial innovations in recent years. The Smart contracts are digital agreements, made in between two untrusted parties. Smart contracts are self-executable small piece of code that gets executed due to some predefined triggering conditions. Smart contracts store cryptocurrencies as their balances and deal in cryptocurrencies on network transactions. Because of this, smart contracts are constantly open to the possibility of being attacked. A single security vulnerability can make the smart contract very much insecure. The immutability property of the blockchain ensures that, once a smart contract has been placed on the blockchain, cannot be modified in any way. So, the smart contract must be analyzed for any kind of security vulnerability before its deployment on the blockchain. Existing analysis approaches detect vulnerabilities with high false positive rates. Our proposed approach analyses the smart contracts using a hybrid combination of pattern matching and symbolic execution, which produces results with a low false positive rate. We have performed a comparative analysis of our proposed approach to prove its efficiency with the existing research approaches on a data set of 453 smart contracts with tagged vulnerabilities.

The exchange of medical information has been drastically altered by patient-centered developments such as personal health records (PHR). By giving patients a place to handle their own PHR on a unified transactional platform, personal health record (PHR) services increase the efficiency with which medical information may be kept, accessed, and transferred. With the ultimate objective of providing patients with total surveillance under data, our findings is focused on creating a state-of-the-art infrastructure for the safe transfer of personal health data via cloud computing. Patients have the option of encrypting their PHR files, which provides an additional layer of security and allows them to set access control limits such as who has access to their files and to what degree. When data is encrypted in the cloud, only approved users may access it. Using cloud-based platforms to share health records raises concerns over confidentiality and privacy, which are addressed by the proposed method. Patients may still benefit from data interchange for the goal of better healthcare thanks to the framework’s provision of an encrypted PHR file option. This framework may accommodate attribute-based encryption (ABE) and other kinds of granular security. These measures ensure that people may continue to have access to, and make changes to, their own medical data, even when they are stored on the cloud. This article presents research that attempts to meet the demands of patients while also providing a safe method of transferring individual health information through cloud computing.

Pure uterine lipomas are extremely rare benign uterine tumors. This paper presents the case of a 68-year-old patient with symptomatic leiomyoma-like fundus formation on ultrasound. A hysterectomy was performed with anterior vaginal plastic surgery as a treatment option for concomitant cystocele grade II. Histological diagnosis of pure uterine lipoma with S-100 positive immunohistochemical staining was confirmed. This case shows us that uterine lipoma clinically and diagnostically mimics myoma very well. We believe that surgery as a therapeutical approach is justified in symptomatic patients. Key words: pure uterine lipoma – gynecological surgery – postmenopause

Objetivo: Múltiples factores preoperatorios pueden complicar una Colecistectomía Laparoscópica electiva. El índice clínico de complejidad quirúrgica agrupa esos factores y les otorga un puntaje que permite estimar la complejidad quirúrgica, permitiendo optimizar el manejo clínico de la colelitiasis, por eso, este trabajo busca determinar el rendimiento diagnóstico del índice clínico de complejidad quirúrgica en paciente operados en el Centro Médico Docente la Trinidad, de Litiasis Vesicular por colecistectomía laparoscópica electiva, en el tiempo comprendido entre el 2020 y 2021. Métodos: Estudio observacional retrospectivo que, mediante la obtención de datos de 63 historias de pacientes, se calculó el Índice Clínico de Complejidad Quirúrgica y sus subíndices: clínico-quirúrgico, edad y comorbilidades; para comparar cada variable, subíndice y puntaje total con el tiempo quirúrgico. Se calcularon medidas de posición, tendencia central y dispersión. Resultados: Un mayor puntaje en el índice clínico de complejidad quirúrgica se encontró asociado a un tiempo quirúrgico superior a dos horas. El punto de corte para tiempo quirúrgico mayor a 120 minutos fue de 5.5 puntos con una Sensibilidad de 53% y especificidad del 81%. Conclusiones: Un puntaje superior a 5 en el Índice Clínico de Complejidad Quirúrgica nos podría permitir estimar qué colecistectomías laparoscópicas van a tener una duración mayor a 2 horas y en ese sentido permitiría optimizar los planes quirúrgicos.

En la Venezuela actual se ha visto disminución de la cantidad de publicaciones científicas que se venían realizando previamente, como lo describen Mercado, Sánchez-Rose & Vessuri, en 2021, desde el 2013 hasta el 2021 surgen apenas cinco nuevos títulos a nivel nacional; esto tal vez debido a la falta de motivación por parte de los profesores, estudiantes y organismos financieros. Hemos observado que los primeros pasos en la investigación son los más difíciles porque nos mentalizamos con que existen muchas barreras, entre ellas creer que requerirá gran inversión de tiempo, cuando en realidad esto no es así. Es por ello, que después de realizar el primer trabajo de investigación todo se torna más fácil, aprendemos con la práctica a realizar un mejor enfoque y así tener un mayor alcance. Estoy convencido de que lo que no se publica queda como no realizado, entrando así en la oscuridad del ausentismo académico. Luego de tener la experiencia de poder ser revisor de la Revista de la Sociedad Venezolana de Cirugía, he logrado consolidar las bases necesarias para construir y aumentar el número de publicaciones con el propósito de enriquecer no solo nuestro conocimiento a nivel nacional, sino también traspasando fronteras, haciendo difusión de lo que realizamos. Es por ello, que nuestro desempeño cada día debe mejorar, siempre buscando el camino a la excelencia, evaluando lo que hacemos y midiendo lo que sea medible. Nos queda mucho por hacer y más que eso, nos queda mucho por aportar a la comunidad científica, enalteciendo y dando a conocer la medicina humana que se realiza en nuestro país, Venezuela.
