Researchers from several fields of knowledge have dedicated themselves to the investigation of the origins, materializations, and outcomes of the "medicalization" phenomenon. Aiming to help this debate, it was conducted a broad survey and analysis of the numbers that surround the theme, especially regarding the growth of production, marketing, and consumption of medicines on a global and national scale (Brazil). The results point out that the global pharmaceutical market had revenues of $1.25 trillion. The twenty largest companies in the sector have an aggregate market value of US$ 2.87 trillion. In Brazil, there are 454 pharmaceutical industries and 116,100 pharmacies. The production of medications reaches 162 billion doses in the country and the twenty-six largest national pharmaceutical companies have combined revenues of R$ 38.7 billion. There is also an increase in the marketing investment in the sector, which has reached R$ 10.8 billion. Two pharmaceutical companies lead the ranking of the largest advertising investors in Brazil.

Este artigo tem o intuito de identificar as formas mais apropriadas de proteção de dados, garantindo a privacidade dos detentores de tais dados, bem com a previsão legal que permeia essa situação de garantia de privacidade e proteção dos dados, baseando-se na Constituição Federal, e na aplicação de leis infraconstitucionais, especialmente voltado para a documentação própria de nosocômios, clínicas e pacientes. Em termos de metodologia utilizada, foram feitas pesquisas bibliográficas e fontes seguras de conteúdo válido, com informações contundentes. O estudo concluiu que a privacidade e proteção de dados ainda não está totalmente garantida sequer na legislação, quanto mais em nosocômios e clínicas, apesar da existência de legislação prevendo, para que haja garantia mínima, ao menos, da privacidade dos cidadãos e de seus dados pessoais, os quais, nas mãos de terceiros mal intencionados, poderão causar transtornos inimagináveis e drásticos. Além disso, o que se verifica é que, os mesmos indivíduos que tratam e cuidam dos pacientes internados em nosocômios e clínicas, são os que alimentam e lançam os dados no sistema, onde, por conta do elevado stress e pressão do dia a dia de trabalho, podem cometer equívocos ou não se atentarem à segurança dos dados e informações necessários.

Maria Erótica: visões carnavalizantes nos quadrinhos de Claudio Seto durante a ditadura militar
Authors: Santos Leandro Luiz , Queluz Marilda
Published: April 2023

O presente artigo analisa as histórias em quadrinhos de Maria Erótica, personagem criada por Claudio Seto em 1969, a partir do conceito de “carnavalização” – criado pelo linguista russo Mikhail Bakhtin – no qual as festividades carnavalescas são vistas como uma realidade alternativa e passageira, caracterizada pela subversão dos costumes e das hierarquias. Foram analisadas 18 histórias em quadrinhos publicadas na revista Maria Erótica (editora Grafipar, final dos anos 1970 e início dos 1980), levando-se em conta o ambiente sociopolítico dos últimos anos da ditadura. Sendo assim, as histórias iam de encontro com a moral conservadora do regime militar que exercia seu poder por meio da censura. Além disso, outra questão problematizada é a forma como Maria Erótica é representada em suas histórias, satisfazendo às fantasias masculinas e, acima de tudo, sendo um mero objeto de assédio dos personagens. A protagonista, no plano da realidade representada, apresenta um comportamento puritano que reprime seus desejos, mas, no plano da fantasia, ela dá vazão a sua sexualidade.

Published: April 2023

It is very important to analyze the polluted water that streams transfer around them by diffusion. Dirty water leaking from streams like this causes soil and water pollution. The protection of surface and underground water resources is very important given the decreasing water resources. How deep a pollutant has infiltrated can be found by solving the diffusion equation. In this study, the concentration amount of the pollutant passing from a long-polluted stream to the soil was investigated by the finite difference method. Instead of using expensive packet programs, a widespread program Matlab used by engineers and scientists to analyze data, develop algorithms, solve problems analytically and numerically, and create models is preferred in this study. The cross-section of the stream is rectangular and its length is considered to be quite long. Therefore, the problem has been examined in two dimensions. First, the necessary finite difference equations are derived and this problem is analyzed using appropriate boundary conditions. A numerical solution has been obtained for two cases in which the bottom of the stream is permeable and it is not. The mass flow rate of both of the cases was calculated and it is found that the mass flow rate in the first case in which the bottom of the stream is permeable is almost double of the second case. The flow velocities on the boundaries have been found to be less in the case in which the bottom of the stream is impermeable.

Bridging the Gap between Digital Native Students and Digital Immigrant Professors: Reciprocal Learning and Current Challenges
Authors: Elaoufy Haytham
Published: April 2023

The difference between individuals who have grown up using technology (digital natives) and those who have not (digital immigrants) continues to expand as technology develops. This gap is noticeable at universities where digital immigrant professors and native students interact. Since digital native students and digital immigrant professors have different learning and teaching preferences and needs, both sides must take these differences into account to create an effective learning environment. Thus, the current study was carried out to ascertain professors’ perceptions regarding technology integration, their challenges, and what students (digital natives) and professors (digital immigrants) might learn from one another. The study included 206 EFL students and 19 EFL professors at Moulay Ismail University, Morocco, who successfully completed an online questionnaire. Based on the quantitative and qualitative findings obtained, it was found that despite the difficulties encountered, such as content overload, fake news, distraction, and technical concerns, both students and professors responded favorably to the topic of integrating technology in the educational sector. The findings also demonstrated that students who are digital natives could teach their professors a lot about how to use, navigate, and harness technology. Conversely, professors who are digital immigrants can teach students who are digital natives a lot about how to gather information from traditional sources, what to do when technology fails, and the value of interpersonal communication in the classroom.

Published: April 2023

To ensure learning continuity, the Philippine’s Department of Education adapted distance education as the alternative, amidst the pandemic. To help with the shift, the department developed DepEd Commons for the purpose of providing easily accessible learning resources. In the same token, Calbayog City National High School in Samar, Philippines developed the customized E-Commons. Being a first attempt and a work in progress, the online platform is admittedly incomplete and the purpose of this study was to evaluate and improve it. Using the descriptive-correlation design, the study aimed to determine STEM students’ perceptions and online experiences with the customized E-Commons. Fifty percent (50%) of the total STEM student population was assigned as respondents using the simple random sampling technique. The findings reveal positive perceptions and online experiences in all criteria, specifically in quality, usability, potential effectiveness, support system, and resources. However, despite the overwhelming approval, the customized E-Commons relatively had lower marks with indicators pertaining to internet connectivity and consumption, indicative of the needed optimizations to make the platform compatible with slower and limited internet. The study calls for further research on the subject with a more balanced representation of students from other strands and disadvantaged backgrounds.

Published: April 2023

Changes in liver enzymes and bilirubin in patients with thalassemia depend on genetic changes and the association of other genetic determinants. Iron overload is associated with increased morbidity in both transfusion-dependent and non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients. The main objective was to evaluate hepatic enzymes, bilirubin and plasma proteins in βTM patients and also to study the correlations of these parameters with serum hemoglobin and ferritin concentrations in βTM patients. To achieve this goal, the study was directed on two groups, the first is case group includes 39 patients with βTM and the second control group includes 34 subject. Serum ALT, AST, total bilirubin, albumin and total protein concentrations were measured by UV-Vis Spectrophotometer, while the concentration of serum ferritin was measured by ELISA Kit. Our results showed that there are highly significant differences between beta thalassemia major and ferritin at mean (2942.71) , furthermore there are highly significant differences between beta thalassemia major and liver enzymes at (71.98) for AST , (69.42) for ALT, (6.98) for Total protein, (3.92) for Albumin and (2.32) for Total bilirubin. In addition our findings showed there are Correlations between serum ferritin concentrations and liver function testes in βTM patients, where there are highly significant differences between beta thalassemia major and Alanine transaminase at mean (r = 0.44), while the Correlation between serum hemoglobin concentration and liver function testes showed highly significant differences between beta thalassemia major and aspartate aminotransferase at mean (r = 0.52). The study concluded that the increase in serum liver enzymes (ALT, AST) and total bilirubin concentrations in patients with βTM are indicator to liver dysfunction that is correlated to iron overload.

Authors: Marca Luan , França Marco
Published: April 2023

O objetivo desse estudo consiste em mensurar por meio de modelos de regressão de dados em painel, o grau de associação entre o valor adicionado bruto setorial (VAB) e a renda per capita. Para isso, foi conduzida uma pesquisa com os 295 municípios do Estado de Santa Catarina no período 2010-2014. Como método, optou-se pelo desenvolvimento de modelos de regressão de dados em painel (pooled, within, random), para a verificação do grau de associação entre as variáveis PIB per capita (variável dependente), indústria, serviços e agropecuária (variáveis independentes). Os dados referentes as séries VAB e renda per capita foram obtidos por meio do banco de dados da Secretaria de Estado do desenvolvimento econômico sustentável de Santa Catarina (SEDES). Os resultados obtidos apontam para relevância do setor industrial no que tange à geração de riqueza nos municípios analisados, haja visto que, dos três setores analisados, foi o único que apresentou efeitos positivos em relação à variável resposta (renda per capita). Os setores agropecuário e de serviços apresentaram efeitos negativos estatisticamente significantes. Verificou-se também, por meio de testes econométricos, que o modelo de efeitos fixos é mais eficiente para o proposito definido quando comparado aos outros. A principal contribuição desta pesquisa consiste no uso do modelo de dados em painel para estimar parâmetros em agregados de PIB de um estado da federação (SC). Além disso, o artigo foi redigido com a ferramenta R markdown (RStudio), que permite que os códigos R sejam incorporados ao texto. Dessa forma, a pesquisa também pode ser utilizada como tutorial de regressão em R.

Bifurcation analysis of a mathematical model of microalgae growth under the influence of sunlight
Authors: Mahardhika Lingga Sanjaya Putra , Adi-Kusumo Fajar , Ertiningsih Dwi
Published: April 2023

In this paper is considered a microalgae growth model under the influence of sunlight. The model is a two-dimensional system of the first order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) with a ten-dimensional parameter space. For this model, we study the existence of equilibrium points and their stability, and determine a bifurcation of the system when the value of some parameters is varied. The Lambert w function is used to calculate equilibrium points and apply the linearization technique to provide their stabilities. By varying the value of some parameters numerically, we found a transcritical bifurcation of the system and show stability regions of the equilibrium points in parameter diagrams. The bifurcation shows that the microalgae have a minimum sustainable nutrition supply and have a minimum light intensity that plays an important role for survival in a chemostat which has a certain depth. The results can be used to design a chemostat in optimizing the growth of microalgae.
Food Producing Facades Key to a Sustainable Future
Authors: Leininger Christopher Paul
Published: April 2023

The built environment uses substantial and increasing amounts of energy, contributing to Urban Heat Island effect, while population growth and urban development have outpaced food production globally. There is a growing trend to introduce green infrastructure into the built environment via green roofs, green façades, and urban agriculture. Research is limited, however, into the use of food producing plants being grown on a living façade to improve total building performance. The purpose of this research study was to test the assertion that food producing plants can be grown successfully in a vertical greenery system or green wall integrated into an existing commercial building façade. Specifically, this dissertation investigates the role of integrating food producing plants into a living facade to positively impact four outcomes: food production, thermal performance, air quality and rainwater management in a temperate climate.
This was a six-year long longitudinal research study. The findings from this study conclusively demonstrate that a maximum average production of 2.64 kilograms of produce per square meter of façade panel can be generated annually (0.54 lbs./ft2). The façade temperatures were reduced between 5.56oC-20.53oC (10oF-36.95oF) with approximately 20% reduction in cooling energy, reducing urban heat island. Airborne small particulates (PM2.5 )were reduced a maximum of 5.6% for the living facade compared to the control. An average of 14.26 litres of rooftop rainwater per square meter of facade per day (0.35 gal/ft2/day) was used for irrigation.

Published: April 2023

In this research, alpha-emitter concentrations of 222Rn, 226Ra, and 238U in Iranian, Turkish, Egyptian, Saudi Arabian, and Iraqi canned cheeses that are available in Iraqi markets were measured using the CR-39 detector. Also, the health risk parameters associated with the ingestion of alpha-emitter radionuclides, such as the annual average internal effective dose (AAIED) and the risk of an excess cancer fatality per million persons (RECFPMP), were calculated. The results show that the average values of 222Rn, 226Ra, and 228U concentrations for all samples in the present study were 3.7±0.38 Bq/m3, 25.24±2.63 mBq/kg, and 0.025±0.002 ppm, respectively. The average values of AAIED and RECFPMP were 0.175±0.018 µSv/y and 0.674±0.070, respectively. The results show that the highest value of alpha-emitters as well as health risk parameters were found in cheese samples produced in Saudi Arabia, while the lowest results were found in Egyptian samples. They were, nevertheless, less than the permissible value and the risk value. According to the current study, the consumption of those cheese products poses no health risks.

Iodine-125 (125I) is one of the radioisotopes widely used in radiopharmaceuticals for diagnosis and therapy of various cancers. Recent reports indicate that there has been shortages in the world supply of this radioiodine isotope. One of the absolute requirements good radiopharmaceuticals must meet is radiochemical purity, which generally has to be above 95 %, with an efficiency of over 90 %. The previous investigation shows that the radiochemical purity is low and does not meet the radiochemical requirement. In this work, we aim at improving the previous method by modifying the Jones reductor-based method. The modified method includes reduction and uniformization of Zn particle sizes, Zn particle compaction, and the performance of reduction process in a closed process flow. The Jones reductor converted impurities into products; in this case, iodate (IO3-) and periodate (IO4-) impurities were converted into iodide (I-), so that 125I product fulfills the radiochemical purity requirements and yielded high efficiency. In this investigation, the 125I previous product was, for the first time, improved with a radiochemical purity of 99.24 % and an efficiency of 97.98 %.

This study used PHITS and Geant4 code packages to simulate a Leksell Gamma Knife system in order to determine radiation dose distribution in two types of phantoms. The results observed in the water phantom with configurations of single source and 201 sources are in good accord with the prior research, including both simulation and experiment. Several characteristics of Leksell Gamma Knife 4C, such as dose profiles, output factor, FWHM, and penumbra size, are calculated based on Monte Carlo simulations, which show the best consistency with other results. The output factors for collimators of 14 mm, 8 mm, and 4 mm are 0.984, 0.949, and 0.872, respectively. The simulation results with an adult mesh-type reference phantom reveal considerable similarities with the established radiosurgery plans. It indicates that the absorbed dose in brain tumors was highest when utilizing the 18 mm collimator and subsequently reduced with collimator size to 0.65, 0.25, and 0.5 with the 14 mm, 8 mm, and 4 mm collimators, respectively. The absorbed dose has a very low value for other essential organs and decreases with distance from the brain tumor. These findings may explain why the dose to organs decreases linearly as target distance, volume, and collimator size increase.
Is there any relationship between triglyceride and hemogram indicesin insulin resistance ?
Authors: ÇETİNER Serap , OKUTURLAR Özgür
Published: April 2023

Objective: We aimed to evaluate triglyceride (TG) level correlation with hemogram and biochemical parameters in non-diabetic but insulin-resistant and non-insulin-resistant obese patients.

Methods: Patients with diabetes, neurological, cardiac, and rheumatological diseases were excluded from the study. Statistical analysis was performed by recording the patients' hemogram and all biochemical parameters. The patients were divided into two groups. Patients with a HOMA-IR level below 2.7 in group 1 and patients with a HOMA-IR level above 2.7 in group 2.

Results: 70 patients were selected for our study. Twenty-four were assigned as those without insulin resistance and were named Group 1, and 46 of these patients were assigned as those with insulin resistance and were named Group 2. TG level was found to be lower in Group 1(80.05+32.17) compared to Group 2 (176.67+16.21) (p = 0.0001).

There was no significant correlation between TG level and hemogram parameters in group 1. In Group 2, TG level and hematocrit (r = 0.475; p = 0.001) showed a significant positive correlation, while platelet lymphocyte ratio (r = 0.474; p = 0.001) showed a significant negative correlation. In Group 2, TG and ferritin (r = 0.421; p = 0.004) showed a significant positive correlation.

Conclusion: In obese patients without diabetes, triglyceride levels were high in those with high insulin resistance. The significant correlation of triglyceride level with hct, PLR, and ferritin in insulin resistance reveals the importance of these parameters in the atherosclerotic process.
New composition of hyaluronic acid and new effectiveness
Authors: Materkowski Maciej
Published: April 2023

Hyaluronic acid is currently one of the most universal and comprehensive tools of modern medicine. Intensive research is still being carried out to demonstrate further new possibilities of its use in the prevention and treatment of diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, because HA is one of the few medicinal substances characterized not only by high therapeutic effectiveness, but also by high safety of use for the human body. The introduction of hybrid complexes of high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (H/L-HA) has increased the clinical utility of hyaluronic preparations by increasing the viscoelastic properties, increasing the anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effects and thermodynamic stabilization of the preparation, which determines the extension of its half-life. Thus, it became more effective and useful in non-surgical treatment of osteoarthritis. Looking at the effectiveness of hybrid complexes, it is worth trying and using in your practice, for example, Sinodrial, which, in addition to the characteristics of the hybrid, has amino acids in its composition, which can also directly affect the production of collagen and the regeneration of joint cartilage.

Local glucocorticoid injections are used in the treatment of isolated sacroiliitis in patients with spondyloarthritis. Sacroiliac joint injections can be performed intraarticularly or periarticularly. Since the accuracy of blind injections is low, fluoroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, or ultrasonography guidance are used to increase the accuracy of sacroiliac joint injections. Currently, imaging fusion software is successfully used in sacroiliac joint interventions with three-dimensional anatomic information added to ultrasonography. Herein, we present two cases of sacroiliac joint corticosteroid injections under ultrasonography-magnetic resonance imaging fusion guidance.

Objectives: The aim of this research was to examine whether high-frequency whole-body vibration activates the tonic vibration reflex (TVR).

Patients and methods: The experimental study was conducted with seven volunteers (mean age: 30.8±3.3 years; range, 26 to 35 years) between December 2021 and January 2022. To elicit soleus TVR, high-frequency (100-150 Hz) vibration was applied to the Achilles tendon. High-frequency (100-150 Hz) whole-body vibration and low-frequency (30-40 Hz) whole-body vibration were applied in quiet standing. Whole-body vibration-induced reflexes were recorded from the soleus muscle using surface electromyography. The cumulative average method was used to determine the reflex latencies.

Results: Soleus TVR latency was 35.6±5.9 msec, the latency of the reflex activated by high-frequency whole-body vibration was 34.8±6.2 msec, and the latency of the reflex activated by low-frequency whole-body vibration was 42.8±3.4 msec (F(2, 12)=40.07, p=0.0001, ƞ2 =0.87). The low-frequency whole-body vibration-induced reflex latency was significantly longer than high-frequency whole-body vibration-induced reflex latency and TVR latency (p=0.002 and p=0.001, respectively). High-frequency whole-body vibration-induced reflex latency and TVR latency were found to be similar (p=0.526).

Conclusion: This study showed that high-frequency whole-body vibration activates TVR.
