Authors: Kumar Singh Parihar Anand , Moksha Singh
Published: January 2024

Background: All maternal health services are essential to be continued for pregnant mothers during lockdown and avoid COVID infection with awareness of people by following all precautions from COVID-19. We aimed to examine changes in service provision and utilization of MNCH services during the pandemic in Uttar Pradesh, India and identify the factors affecting the utilization and service delivery. Objective: To assess the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on utilization and delivery of maternal health services at health facilities in Uttar Pradesh, India. Method: COVID -19 pandemic data has been collected form website https://prsindia.org/covid-19/cases which provides the day wise data for four major components such as confirmed cases, active cases, cured/discharged and death and pandemic effects on the maternal services including ANC registration, pregnant women registered for ANC within 1st trimester and home and institutional deliveries during April 2019, April 2020 and April 2021. At the same time, through informal discussion with key healthcare professionals and focused desk reviews of published scientific, grey and media-based information and country-specific healthcare policies. Results and summary: Huge difference in the percent change of the beneficiaries received maternal health services among April 2019, April 2020 and April 2021. It is found that there is 88 percent change in the ANC registration for pregnant women in April 2020 against April 2019. It simple means that 371065 pregnant women registered for ANC in April 2019 whereas only 44987 pregnant women registered in April 2019 which is very less number of pregnant women went for ANC visit in public health facilities in Uttar Pradesh. While, during the 2nd wave of COVID-19 pandemic regarding the ANC service, it reflects only 3 percent change based on government HMIS data set, as 361201 pregnant women registered for ANC in April 2021 and its close to April 2019 i.e. 371065. Similarly, 12 percent change for institutional deliveries was found in April 2020 and no change for the institutional deliveries during April 2021. Moreover, more institutional deliveries are occurred during April 2021 against April 2020 and April 2019. The main reason for delayed health seeking was lockdown in April 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic. The health situation was very worst in all the public health facilities during April 2021 due to COVID-19. Conclusions: COVID-19 severely affected the provision and use of MNCH services in Uttar Pradesh, India, despite efforts at service restoration and adaptations. Strengthening logistics support, capacity enhancement, performance management, and demand creation are needed to improve service provision and utilization during and post-COVID-19.

Quem propaga a pós-verdade?
Authors: Amaro Flávia Ribeiro
Published: January 2024

O artigo procura refletir acerca das seguintes questões: Quais são os grupos e movimentos socioculturais responsáveis por disseminar Fake News, propagar discursos negacionistas e divulgar pós-verdades no Brasil da atualidade? Quem são os receptores e reprodutores desses discursos fundamentalistas? Existem limites para a liberdade religiosa e de expressão? E, qual o papel do cientista da religião, imbuído das prerrogativas do paradigma decolonial/ intercultural, diante dos problemas que se apresentam relacionados ao acirramento dos fundamentalismos e suas respectivas práticas arbitrárias e intransigentes no terreno sociocultural? Para tanto, será explorado o entendimento das categorias “pluralismo”, “secularismo” e “fundamentalismo”. A discussão é amparada pelas contribuições de autores que se dedicaram à reflexão de tais problemáticas a partir do campo epistemológico das ciências da religião e da sociologia da religião.
Marcas na trajetória e no presente do católico cristianismo da libertação
Authors: Souza André Ricardo de
Published: January 2024

O cristianismo da libertação constituiu-se como um fenômeno religioso com desdobramentos políticos relevantes na América Latina, entre as décadas de 1960 e 80, no contexto de regimes militares e processos de reabertura democrática, sendo que este artigo enfoca o caso brasileiro. Abarcando também iniciativas protestantes, ele é fundamentalmente católico, tendo passado por um refluxo devido a posicionamentos dos papas João Paulo II e Bento XVI, assim como o avanço evangélico pentecostal e o crescimento do ideário neoliberal. Em face do pontificado de Francisco fatos novos ocorreram de modo a resgatar aspectos desse catolicismo politizado de esquerda, com destaque para determinada proposição econômica que gerou uma significativa mobilização no Brasil. O artigo, elaborado com base em consulta bibliográfica e pesquisa de campo, aborda essa trajetória do cristianismo da libertação.

Published: January 2024

Objective: To determine the mortality rate in patients with Fournier’s gangrene (FG) in Sunpasittiprasong Hospital and to identify potential risk factors associated with mortality among patients of FG. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study investigated patients diagnosed with FG in Sunpasittiprasong Hospital from 2016 to 2021. Data related to clinical presentation, demographics, comorbidities, etiology, laboratory investigation, and therapeutic intervention of the patients were recorded. Prognostic severity indexes were calculated. All factors were statistically analyzed using univariate and then multivariate analysis. Results: Of 62 patients, the mortality rate was 29% (18 of 62). The significant risk factors for death included patients with kidney disease, septic shock, respiratory failure, acute kidney injury, low mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), admission to ICU and prolonged ventilator used. Risk factors from the laboratory data included abnormal coagulogram, high serum creatinine, lactate, and low bicarbonate. Some prognostic scoring systems were able to predict prognosis and mortality. Multivariate analysis revealed that patients with kidney disease (p = 0.007) or respiratory failure at presentation (p = 0.020) were significantly associated with mortality. Conclusions: The significant risk factors associated with mortality among patients with FG were kidney disease or respiratory failure. Some prognostic scoring systems may be applied to Thai patients with FG to predict prognosis.

Objective: Ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy (URSL) is the procedure of choice for treatment of ureteral stones. Postoperative acute pyelonephritis (APN) is a serious complication after URSL which may potentially progress to urosepsis and death. In this study we aimed to explore and record potential predictive factors associated with postoperative APN after URSL. Materials and Methods: Ninety patients (2016-2022) with ureteral stone managed with URSL were identified. Postoperative APN was defined in patients with a body temperature > 38 °C which persisted for at least 48 hours after URSL with clinical symptoms and/or urine culture was positive for organism growth. Multivariable analysis with logistic regression was used to identify predictive factors for postoperative APN. Results: Seven patients (7.8%) experienced postoperative APN and six patients (85.7%) developed systemic inflammatory response syndrome. All patients were managed conservatively with selective antibiotics, specifically treated with meropenem (n = 3), piperacillin/tazobactam (n = 3), and imipenem/cilastatin (n = 1). Most patients with postoperative APN were women (5/7 patients, 71.4%). The median age of the seven postoperative APN patients was 57.6 vs 54 years (p = 0.48) and the hospital stay was longer 5 vs 2 days, (p < 0.01). Preoperative APN was found in 12 patients (13.3%) and six patients (50%) developed perioperative APN. The multivariable analysis, showed that the only independent factor of postoperative APN was a history of preoperative APN Conclusion: Postoperative infection is a serious condition after URSL that can increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. A single significant risk factor for postoperative infection was a history of preoperative APN. These patients should receive rigorous postoperative care to avoid serious complications.

Materials and Methods: The demographic characteristics, duration of surgery, blood transfusion rate, weight of tissue removed, catheterization time and complica- tions were recorded in 25 patients who underwent HoLEP surgery between January 2021 and May 2022 in Rajavithi Hospital. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life score (QoL), peak flow rate (Q-max), post-void residual urine volume (PVR), hematocrit (Hct) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels were comparedbefore and after surgery. Results: The mean age of the patients was 71.28±7.54 years. There were statistically significant differences between mean preoperative and postoperative Hct (%) (40.5± 5.9 and 38.4±5.1), p = 0.001. Only 1 in 25 patients had 1 unit of blood transfusion. One month postoperatively the mean PSA had decreased from 4.55 to 1.2 ng/ml (p < 0.001); mean IPSS had improved from 21.0 to 7.0 (p < 0.001); mean QoL score had improved from 4.47 to 1.10 (p < 0.001); mean PVR had decreased from 98.0 to 39.7 ml (p = 0.002) and the mean Q-max had increased from 8.0 to 17.8 ml/sec (p = 0.015). The mean catheterization time was 2.40±0.57 days. There were no serious complications or incidence of TUR syndrome in this study. Conclusion: HoLEP is a safe alternative to the current gold standard transurethral resection of the prostate for BPH patients as there are fewer complications with similar functional outcomes

This community service initiative concentrated on aiding Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the laundry sector, specifically Athif Laundry and Cahaya Laundry in Denokan Village, Maguwoharjo. The primary goal was to improve human resources development and technological literacy within the local community. The laundry business, crucial for customer service, faced challenges in financial management and technological adaptation. The research emphasized the significance of profit generation for business sustainability, stressing the need for accurate financial records. Introducing the Akuntansi ku application, a digital accounting tool designed to automate transaction recording, the research aimed to empower SMEs in tracking income, expenses, debts, and receivables. The participatory methodology involved a survey, activity implementation, and results analysis. Athif Laundry and Cahaya Laundry were identified as suitable candidates for intervention, lacking financial statement preparation. The activities focused on educating and assisting SMEs in using the Akuntansi ku application, resulting in improved financial record-keeping efficiency, heightened motivation to maintain records, and enhanced organizational structure. In conclusion, the community service successfully equipped both laundries with knowledge and tools for effective financial record management through the Akuntansi ku application, emphasizing the importance of financial statements for evaluation and decision-making. The recommendation is to extend similar programs to other SMEs, promoting technological adoption for sustainable business growth.
Alcohol use and motivations for drinking among types of young adult illicit stimulant users
Authors: Leslie Ellen , Smirnov Andrew , Najman Jake , Scott John
Published: January 2024

Drinking among young adult users of amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS) during episodes of ecstasy and methamphetamine use is reported to have a number of possible functions, such as mitigating the unwanted effects of the drugs, enhancing intoxication and pleasure, and increasing drinking capacity. While there is evidence to suggest a high prevalence of risky drinking among users of ATS in Australia, little is known about how they combine their use of ATS with the consumption of alcohol or why they do so. This paper considers how ATS users consume alcohol during ecstasy and methamphetamine use, and also addresses alcohol abuse and dependence among low-risk and at-risk ATS users. At-risk users are more likely to have experienced alcohol abuse and dependence during adolescence or early adulthood, suggesting that higher-risk use of ATS may be linked with problematic drinking patterns. The paper suggests that problematic behaviour relating to alcohol and ATS use is interlinked, and may be important in developing appropriate policy responses.

王陽明（1472-1528）的《朱子晚年定論》是宋明儒學史上「朱陸異同論」的一重大關鍵，此作引發極大的迴響。不過，若欲論其支持者，多半僅能列舉清代李紱（1673-1750）的《朱子晚年全論》，實則中研院傅斯年圖書館所藏珍本──張元忭（1538-1588）纂輯的《朱子摘編》當是另一重要代表作。《朱子摘編》全書分上、下兩卷，上卷收錄陽明的《朱子晚年定論》，下卷則是張元忭為求佐證、輔翼陽明之說而輯錄朱子九十四首詩作的《悟後詩》。本文分析該書的序跋文字與刊版的經過，說明其編纂用心、策略與流通情形。繼之，闡釋張元忭在上卷寫作的案語，在承繼「晚年定論」之說外，也申述朱子、象山及陽明三人之學可相互融通為一的主張。再者，詳考下卷《悟後詩》所選輯詩作的寫作時間，說明其文獻效力恐有不足之處。但是，若針對纂輯詩篇之內容而觀，卻可看到張氏對「晚年定論」說的附議與加強舉證，不過，這些詩作的內容也呈現出朱子注重遊觀山水以體道以及兼採佛、老之說的學問面向，此二者則屬張元忭個人的獨特見解。本文對《朱子摘編》一書的考察與分析，當有助於豐富並且補充學界對於「朱陸異同論」之學術發展史的全面理解，同時也能反映出明代學者對朱子學的另一種認識與詮釋面向。

 

Within the history of Song-Ming Neo-Confucian thought, Wang Yangming’s essay, Master Zhu’s Definitive Views Arrived at Late in Life (Zhuzi wannian dinglun), stands as a pivotal work in the study of the contrast between Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan. Its later impact is apparent in the two-volume work, A Selection of Works About Zhuzi (Zhuzi zhaibian), edited by Zhang Yuanbian (1538-1588), and housed in the Fu Sinian Library, Academia Sinica, Taiwan. The first volume reprinted Wang Yangming’s Zhuzi wannian dinglun and the second entitled, Poems After Enlightenment, consists of ninety-four of Zhu Xi’s poems selected and edited by Zhang Yuanbian in support of Wang Yangming’s thesis. This article will first analyze this volume’s foreword, postscript, and publication history to highlight the author’s editorial efforts and strategies and the volume’s ensuing distribution. This will be followed by an analysis of each volume. With respect to the first volume, Zhang Yuanbian’ accepted that Wang was elucidating only the later years of Zhu Xi’s thought, but he also attempted to demonstrate the compatibility between Zhu Xi, Lu Jiuyuan, and Wang Yangming. With respect to the second volume, this article sorts out the dates of the selected poems and concludes that their content does not effectively support Zhang’s assertions. However, Zhang’s interlinear notes to the poems reveal his own unique reading of Zhu Xi’s experience of the Way when traveling and observing the landscape and Zhang’s use of Buddhist and Daoist explanations. Through an analysis of Zhuzi zhaibian, this article will contribute to a fuller understanding of how late Ming exegetes distinguished between Zhu Xi and Lu Jiuyuan and reflects how one late Ming exegete interpreted Zhu Xi.

 
論明清時期朝鮮向中國求書的緣由

Published: January 2024

眾所皆知，今日的韓國、日本、越南各地收藏數量驚人的漢籍（中國刊本）。追溯此些國家搜求漢籍的歷程與緣由，不少學者歸諸「慕華」，即搜求漢籍出於外國人仰慕中國／中華文化的心理。慕華確實立足一定的史料基礎，也存在抱持此種想法而收買漢籍的例子。但是東亞各國對待中國的態度，絕非始終如一，而係複雜漫長的變化過程。本文旨在以朝鮮為中心，探究明清時期的朝鮮人何以代代相承，持續搜求漢籍。這股需要漢籍的力量來源可概分為三，一、長時段的因素，如知識養成、人才培育、制度設計、出版環境等；二、偶發性的事件，尤其是戰爭；三、古代東亞各國必須面對的實際需要，即與中國進行外交往來，需要一定的漢學素養。本文結合前述三方面的考察，試圖在慕華之外開闢新的視角，理解朝鮮人搜求漢籍的背景與緣由。

 

As is well known, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam possess astonishingly voluminous collections of Chinese books that were printed in China. When tracing the processes and reasons why these countries sought out Chinese publications, many scholars have attributed this phenomenon to the mentality of muhua, that is, the admiration of China or Chinese culture by foreigners. Muhua was arguably one established aspect of the historical data, and there are examples of individuals who adhered to this idea in their collecting of Chinese books. However, among East Asian countries the attitudes toward China were neither static nor unified and underwent a complex and lengthy series of changes.
In focusing on Chosŏn, this article aims to explore why generation after generation of Koreans living through the Ming and Qing dynasties continued to seek Chinese books. What drove the desire for Chinese books can be broadly categorized into three aspects: firstly, there were long-term factors such as the need to nurture knowledge, cultivate talent, design institutions, and improve the publishing environment; secondly there were unexpected events, especially wars; and thirdly, there were the practical needs each and every premodern East Asian country must face, specifically diplomatic exchanges with China, which required a certain level of sinological proficiency. In fleshing out these three aspects, this study will offer new perspectives beyond that of cultural admiration, to foster a better understanding of the background and reasons behind the pursuit of Chinese books in Chosŏn Korea.

Teores de nitrito de sódio em produtos cárneos comercializados em Maceió-AL
Authors: Lira Giselda Macena , Silva-Neta Maria de Lourdes da , Souza Jailton Barros de , Barros Edna Santos de
Published: January 2024

Nitrito de sódio é um aditivo intencional utilizado em produtos cárneos com o objetivo de fixar a cor, conferir sabor e aroma característicos, retardar a oxidação lipídica e inibir o crescimento do Clostridium botulinium, cuja toxina causa o botulismo. A adição deste aditivo preocupa a comunidade científica mundial, pois, é fator de riscos toxicológicos à saúde humana, dependendo da quantidade ingerida e susceptibilidade do organismo. Visando controlar o nível deste aditivo em produtos cárneos, a legislação brasileira estabeleceu limites de teores residuais de nitrito. No presente trabalho objetivou-se quantificar o teor de nitrito de sódio em produtos cárneos provenientes de estabelecimentos comerciais da cidade de Maceió-AL. Os resultados obtidos para nitrito de sódio residual para: Jerked beef (traços: 0,3 a 0,5 ppm ou mg/kg); presunto (1,7 a 3,5 ppm ou mg/kg); lingüiça toscana (0,5 a 1,6 ppm ou mg/kg); lingüiça calabresa defumada (1,6 ppm ou mg/kg) e mortadela (traços: 0,3 a 1,7 ppm ou mg/kg), estão todos abaixo do limite máximo residual permitido pela legislação brasileira. Apesar das amostras analisadas encontraremse dentro dos padrões, medidas preventivas devem continuar sendo tomadas como controle de qualidade pelas indústrias e vigilância sanitária dos alimentos envolvidos.
A proposal of an alternative in vitro method for the evaluation of the safety of shampoos
Authors: Azevedo Janice C. de , Cruz Áurea S. , Pinto Terezinha de J. A.
Published: January 2024

Although tests using animals are still demanded in the evaluation of shampoos, there is a strong evidence of a tendency for replacing them by in vitro systems. This study aims at definingconditions for the application of a method using NCTC clone 929 cells, as an alternative. Proceduresemployed to test non diluted samples of shampoos for adults resulted in irritation (in the in vivo method); the same result was not observed when samples diluted to a 25% concentration were tested. In the in vitro tests, the same shampoos presented a perfect correlation of results when not diluted (cytotoxic) and whendiluted to a 0.1% concentration (non cytotoxic). When the shampoos for children use were tested, the only case of irritation happened with one of the 4 non-diluted shampoos The absence of cytotoxicity was observed in the in vitro test, after diluting all the samples to 1% and 0.1%. It is possible thus to use the in vitro test instead of the vivo one, if preceded by a careful validation with emphasis on the concentrationof the product.

Authors: Niizu Patrícia Y. , Rodriguez-Amaya Delia B.
Published: January 2024

Este trabalho teve como objetivo a quantificação dos principais carotenóides da melancia, variedade Crimson Sweet, produzida nos estados de São Paulo e Goiás. As amostras foram colhidas durante o ano da Central de Abastecimento (CEASA) de Campinas, em um total de cinco frutas analisadas individualmente para cada região. As análises foram realizadas em duplicata, consistindo-se na extração com acetona, partição para éter de petróleo e quantificação por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE) com uma coluna C18,Spherisorb ODS2, 3 µm, 4,6 mm x 150 mm, usando eluição isocrática em fase móvel de acetonitrila contendo 0,05% de trietilamina:metanol:acetato de etila (60:20:20), com uma vazão de 0,8 mL/min, utilizando padronização externa. Os cromatogramas demonstraram que a melancia contém quase exclusivamente licopeno, com uma pequena quantidade de β-caroteno. Os teores (µg/g) de licopeno e β-caroteno foram, respectivamente, de 36 + 5 e 4,7 + 2,4 para as frutas de São Paulo e de 35 + 2 e 2,6 + 1,7 para as de Goiás. As concentrações destes dois carotenóides são semelhantes às encontradas em tomate cultivar Carmen (35 + 10 µg/g para licopeno e 3,2 + 0,6 µg/g para β-caroteno), evidenciando a melanciacomo uma importante fonte de licopeno.

Published: January 2024

As águas utilizadas para diluição de soluções de diálise devem ser praticamente isentas de contaminantes para garantir a segurança do paciente com insuficiência renal. O tratamento da água de abastecimento usada para esta finalidade deve, principalmente, eliminar a maior parte dos íons fluoretos. Estes íons podem causar aos pacientes doenças ósseas do tipo osteomalácea e osteoporose, hipercalemia, entre outras. O método do eletrodo íon seletivo é considerado o mais adequado para a determinação do íon fluoreto em águas de abastecimento, devido a sua alta seletividade, melhor linearidade e menor  susceptibilidade a interferentes, quando comparado com o método espectrofométrico. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo investigar a aplicação deste método para a determinação das concentrações de íons fluoretos em águas para diluição de soluções de diálise. Avaliou-se o uso de seis soluções tampão com composições diferentes para análise de soluções aquosas com concentrações de íons fluoretos de 0 a 2,5 mg/L. Verificou-se que as melhores condições experimentais para o método potenciométrico foram o emprego de solução tampão (TISAB 0), preparada com cloreto de sódio e ácido acético glacial com pH final 5,4 - 5,5 ajustado com hidróxido de sódio, utilizando adição de padrão.
Procedimento para determinação simultânea dos tricotecenos desoxinivalenol e toxina T-2
Authors: Baraj Edilira , Badiale-Furlong Eliana
Published: January 2024

Os tricotecenos são um grupo de micotoxinas sesquiterpenóides produzidas por várias espécies de fungos, como Fusarium, Stachybotris, Trichothecium, Trichoderma e Myrothecium. Estes tricotecenos são relativamente estáveis aos principais processos e dificilmente são removidos dos grãos contaminados sob condições moderadas. O desoxinivalenol (DON) é o tricoteceno mais freqüentemente detectado. Outro é a toxina T-2, um tricoteceno do grupo A, freqüentemente encontrado em cereais, que tem sido bastante estudado por ser dez vezes mais tóxico que o DON. No presente trabalho, foi adaptado e avaliado um método para determinação simultânea da toxina T-2 e de DON por cromatografia de  camada delgada (ccd). A matriz empregada para o desenvolvimento do procedimento foi o malte cervejeiro. Foram estudados sistemas de extração e purificação dos extrato, eluentes e agentes reveladores. Posteriormente o método foi aplicado em amostras de arroz e farinha de trigo. O limite de detecção do método foi de 40 ng/mancha para toxina T-2 e 50 ng/ mancha para DON; a recuperação média foi de 77,9% e 80,5%, respectivamente para cada toxina. Foram detectadas contaminadas uma amostra de arroz branco com 266µg. Kg-1 e duas de farinha de trigo com 128 e 323 µg. Kg-1 de DON.

Foram avaliadas, quanto a presença de arsênio, 27 amostras de Leporinus obtusidens (Valenciennes, 1847) “Piava” e 27 de Pimelodus maculatus (Lacèpéde, 1803) “Pintado”, capturados no Lago Guaíba, P.Alegre, RS. Os níveis de arsênio total foram determinados por espectrofotometria de absorção atômica com gerador de hidretos. Os níveis encontrados estavam abaixo de 1,0 mg/kg, limite tolerado pela legislação vigente no Brasil para peixes e seus produtos. A média encontrada nas Piavas foi de 0,14 mg/kg e nos Pintados 0,14 mg/kg. Os resultados sugerem mais estudos de monitoramentos em outras espécies de peixes do lago, para que os dados obtidos possam ser utilizados pelas autoridades de preservação ambiental na proteção da saúde humana e qualidade dos alimentos.
Ácidos graxos saturados versus ácidos graxos trans em biscoitos

Published: January 2024

A ingestão de ácidos graxos saturados pode trazer riscos à saúde. Evidências científicas mostram que a ingestão de ácidos graxos trans produz efeito similar aos ácidos saturados,  entretanto, a legislação brasileira atual exige apenas a declaração do teor dos ácidos saturados na rotulagem dos alimentos embalados. Diversos alimentos são elaborados empregando gordura vegetal hidrogenada rica em ácidos graxos trans, como por exemplo os biscoitos, consumidos  principalmente por crianças e adolescentes O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar os teores de ácidos graxos saturados e de ácidos graxos trans em amostras de biscoitos, e fornecer subsídios que auxiliem as autoridades brasileiras na elaboração de novas legislações. Foram analisadas 26 amostras de biscoitos de 6 marcas e 4 tipos diferentes: recheados, wafer, salgados diversos e doces diversos. A composição de ácidos graxos da gordura extraída dos biscoitos (Soxhlet) foi determinada por cromatografia em fase gasosa. Os teores dos ácidos saturados e trans foram similares na maioria das amostras, representando porcentagem considerável do conteúdo de lipídios. Os resultados obtidos trazem subsídios para a reformulação da legislação em vigor, exigindo a declaração de ácidos graxos trans na rotulagem de biscoitos, e de outros produtos com altos teores destes ácidos, face às implicações à saúde...
