formação em saúde que uma política de Estado exige
Authors: Soares Vidal Terra Lilian
Published: December 2023

Uma política de Estado para o setor de saúde no Brasil, como se pretende construir por meio do Sistema Único de Saúde, exige grande investimento na força de trabalho, sendo a formação um de seus pilares. No entanto, os processos de ensino-aprendizagem para trabalhadores em saúde tem se configurado em modelos hierarquizados e tecnocráticos estáticos, pautados pela ciência positivista, incapazes de responder aos desafios do sistema. Assim, o presente artigo se propõe a fazer uma crítica à formação hegemônica e refletir acerca do potencial formativo e emancipatório da aprendizagem pela práxis, como pretendem os Mestrados Profissionais em Saúde. Para tanto, analisa processos pedagógicos conduzidos por meio de Grupos Balint-Paideia, pautados na pedagogia construtivista de Gramsci a Freire, que investem no protagonismo dos trabalhadores em formação, além de considerar os atravessamentos subjetivos e de poder presentes em todos os encontros clínicos, de gestão, de formação.Conclui que a formação Paideia se propõe partir de uma pedagogia da autonomia, dedicada a incrementar a capacidade de análise e de intervenção dos próprios sujeitos e inova ao trabalhar com referência aos eixos do saber, afeto e poder, possibilitando uma formação voltada à emancipação dos trabalhadores e ao fortalecimento do SUS.

Central Kalimantan is one of the most populous provinces in Indonesia where rice has the greatest impact on the calculation of the poverty line. As of August 2022, 0.44 percent of the inflation in Palangkaraya is attributable to rice, which can contribute to an increase in the MPP rate. Margin perdagangan dan pengangkutan (MPP) is a percentage that indicates the increase in rice prices from producers to final consumers, taking into account transportation costs. The objective of this paper is to determine the optimal route and allocation of each vehicle fleet serving each depot, given several constraints using an open-source spreadsheet solver. Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) is one of the most frequently encountered optimization problems in logistics. In this instance, we optimize the paddy distribution fleet in Central Kalimantan using the VRP method. The results of the data processing led to the choice of the best route that could adhere to all the limitations, demonstrating that the VRP spreadsheet solver could be used for the case in this study. Based on the computations of 13 vehicles, hereinafter referred to as vehicle (V) which serves 100 Customers, it is obtained that V1 will serve 4 Customers, V2 will serve 5 Customers, V3 will serve 26 Customers, V4 will serve 5 Customers, V5 will serve 5 Customers, V6 will serve 6 Customers, V7 serves 3 Customers, V8 serves 4 Customers, V9 serves 14 Customers, V10 serves 5 Customers, V11 serves 3 Customers, V12 serves 11 Customers, and V13 serves 9 Customers.
Question-Based Gap Analysis of Heliostat Optical Metrology Methods
Authors: Brost Randy
Published: December 2023

As part of the DOE Heliostat Consortium Roadmap study, we investigated optical metrology systems for heliostats, seeking areas where further research was needed. We began by considering optical metrology questions of interest across the heliostat development cycle and identified information types common across this spectrum. In addition to raising questions of interest, each development cycle phase implied specific operation requirements. Combining these yielded 13 core problem statements, four of which do not appear to have a readily available solution: (a) in-situ measurement of high-resolution maps of mirror surface normals, for all heliostat tilt angles and heliostats far from the tower; (b) accelerated heliostat calibration; (c) high-speed in situ measurement of heliostat surface normal maps and pointing directions; (d) ground truth methods for verifying the accuracy of surface normal map measurements. This analysis may provide input to the selection of future research goals.
Introducing Transformative Plant Biotechnology: Engineering plants to recover metals from our environment
Authors: Rylott Liz
Published: December 2023

Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs), synthesised through chemical processes, find extensive utility as catalysts in various industrial applications. Interestingly, plants have the natural ability to accumulate gold in the form of nanoparticles within their tissues when exposed to this element. This plant-derived material can be effectively utilised in the development of catalysts derived from biomass.

Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that by introducing specific, short peptides (around 10 amino acids in length) into solutions, we can exert precise control over the size and shape of these nanoparticles. These factors can be finely tuned to optimise catalysts for various industrial processes. Introducing these peptides into the model plant species, Arabidopsis, allows us to regulate the diameter of nanoparticles within the plant itself, consequently influencing catalytic performance in the resulting pyrolysed biomass.

Leveraging Au-rich biomass in this manner holds the potential to make economically viable the use of plants for remediating and stabilising mining waste, particularly those rich in precious elements like gold. Consequently, this study, using gold as an exemplar, represents a significant step towards engineering plants for the sustainable recovery of finite, technologically critical elements from our environment.
Sarà veramente PFAPA?
Authors: Insalaco Antonella , De Nardi Laura
Published: December 2023

PFAPA syndrome (Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis and cervical Adenitis) is the most common periodic fever in childhood. It is a benign self-limiting condition that may resolve spontaneously during the first years of life or within adolescence, although there is increasing evidence of cases that may persist also in adulthood. A small dose of corticosteroids is safe and effective for the management of fever episodes and can also be useful for the diagnosis. Tonsillectomy is a good option for those patients who keep presenting with disabling symptoms after the typical age.

Published: December 2023

Anorectal diseases are quite common in children, but their management often raises uncertainty. The most frequent lesions are anal fissures, which are mainly linked to constipation. Intense strain may also lead to rectal prolapse or haemorrhoids. Perianal abscess is common in younger children, while it should arouse suspicion in case of older ones or if it is complex and recurring. Finally, perianal fistula may be a complication of Crohn's disease, which may even precede gastrointestinal symptoms by years.

Environment and health WHO Europe has published the report “A healthy environment in the WHO European Region: why it matters and what steps we can take to improve health” in preparation for the Seventh Ministerial Conference on Environment and Health held in Budapest July 5-7, 2023(7MCEH). The report draws attention to the current state of environment and health and what actions WHO member states can take to ensure future environmental protection; about 15 percent of all deaths could be prevented through healthier environments. Health risks are related to air pollution, water, sanitation and hygiene, chemicals, radiation, and climate change. There are more than 1.4 million deaths in Europe each year associated with preventable environmental health risks. The Budapest Declaration focuses attention on urgent actions to health challenges related to climate change, environmental pollution, biodiversity loss and land degradation to strengthen countries' capacities to meet the commitments made at the conference. Youth were strongly represented at the 7MCEH and were given the opportunity to participate and act on actions that will affect their future. Indeed, member states recognize how the environmental crisis affects the mental health of the younger generation and that protective actions such as increasing urban green areas and contact with nature are needed. Different articles in this issue highlight the importance for a good health of the parent-child-nature relationship, urban green spaces and how eco-anxiety can be a driver of change in a positive direction. This issue of Environment and Health News is based on the systematic review of the May and June 2023 publications.

Published: December 2023

George is referred at age 6 years 6 months from family pediatrician to a pediatric endocrinologist for poor statural growth and some facial dysmorphic notes. Second child of non consanguineous parents. Older sister is in good health. Father 177 cm tall, mother 161 cm, menarche 11 1/2 years. Genetic target cm 175.5 (50° pc). No major pathologies in family history. Pregnancy passed regularly, induced delivery at 39 weeks due to fetal distress; neonatal period progressed without complications. At birth kg 2650, cm 49. Head circumference unknown. According to the mother, growth in the first years of life was regular. Modest delay in psychomotor development: first words after one year, independent walking at 17 months. He is followed in Child Neuropsychiatry for “developmental delay and mild intellectual disability (IQ :63) and behavioral problems” and is undergoing psycho-motor physiotherapy treatment. He is also being followed in Broncho Pneumology for episodes of bronchial asthma and by ophthalmologists for modest strabismus. The parents report that George, seen at age 5 years and 6 months, had a stature of 101.9 cm (3° pc), a weight of 17.5 kg, and a bone age 4 years and 6 months. Given the dysmorphic facial notes, two geneticists had been consulted who did not make a diagnostic suspicion. CGH array was negative. On objective examination (6 years and 6 months), general and nutritional conditions are good, preserved limb/trunk ratio. Some modest facial dysmorphia, mild strabismus and modest delay in cognitive development are noted. Examination of the various organs and apparatuses is negative. Height 107 cm (3° pc, 10 cm below genetic target), weight 21 kg, BMI 15 (25° pc). Bone age found to be 5 1/2 years (1 year below chronological age). The pediatric endocrinologist decides to recheck statural growth at 6 to 12 months. In fact, the child is revisited at ages 8 and 4 months. The period between the two visits has progressed without any particular events. Dysmorphia persists, regular trunk/limb ratio, prepubertal genitalia. Height 123 cm (10° pc, within genetic target), weight 25 kg, BMI 16.6 (25°-50° pc), head circumference 52.5 cm (50° pc). Bone age: 10 years, almost 2 years higher than chronological age. Conclusions: stature at low limits of normal, some dysmorphic notes, modest psychomotor and cognitive delay, rapid acceleration of bone age, which at age 5 ½ years and at 6 years 6/12) 1 year lower than chronological became at 8 years 4 months almost 2 years higher resulting in worsening prognosis of final stature (see Figure 1).
Is it getting too personal? On personalized advertising and autonomy
Authors: Holmen Sebastian
Published: December 2023

It has recently been suggested that personalized advertising is often more an affront to a person's autonomy and thus more morally worrisome than its generic counterpart precisely because it involves or takes advantage of such personalization. This paper argues that central reasons that have been forwarded to support this claim are unpersuasive and that generic and personalized advertising should therefore be treated as morally on par in terms of their potential to undermine consumer autonomy. The paper then suggests that, if this is true, it presses scholars who wish to maintain there to be a moral asymmetry between personalized and generic advertising in terms of their effect on consumer autonomy to choose between three argumentative avenues, but that none of these is likely to be particularly attractive for a defender of the asymmetry.
Utopia After the “End of History”: Addressing the Crisis of Future in Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez’s Philosophy of Praxis
Authors: Baquero Rafael Pérez
Published: December 2023

This article engages in the contemporary discussion on utopia by exploring Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez’s philosophy. The fall of the Berlin Wall has led to debates about the “end of history” and to doubts about the possibility of achieving the ideals and values embedded within the Marxist utopia. To deal with this challenge, contemporary scholars have revisited Marxist tradition to recover the hope stemming from utopia. However, these readings have not taken into consideration Sánchez Vázquez’s contribution to this topic. With a view to addressing this omission, this article analyzes philosophical assumptions underlying Sánchez Vázquez’s approach. By exploring his Philosophy of Praxis and by highlighting its anthropological assumptions, this study demonstrates the extent to which his works provide theoretical underpinnings and resources for contesting contemporary discourses on the “end of history” and for recovering utopia after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Melaleuca cajuputi plant has piqued the interest of researchers due to its pharmacological properties. However, there is scarce information regarding its enzyme inhibitory effects and possible mechanism of action. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the antioxidant, enzyme inhibitory, and potential binding interactions of bioactive components in M. cajuputi extract and fractions with the target enzymes. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging (DPPH) assay was used for the antioxidant activity. The enzyme inhibition potential was assessed using tyrosinase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzymes. M. cajuputi methanolic extract (MCME) demonstrated the most potent scavenging activity in comparison to Melaleuca fraction (MF1) and (MF2), as evidenced by IC50 values of 28.14 ± 0.96, 35.26 ± 0.64, and 80.90 ± 0.17 μg/mL, respectively. Similarly, the results of the enzyme inhibition assay showed that the MCME (IC50 65.81± 0.39 μg/mL) had the highest potency on tyrosinase enzyme compared to MF1 (IC50 131.3± 0.43 μg/mL) and MF2 (IC50 215.3 ± 0.48 μg/mL). However, MF2 (IC50 3.35 ± 0.37 μg/mL) showed a remarkable AChE enzyme inhibition than MCME and MF1. On the other hand, MCME possessed a low toxicity effect with an LC50 of 781 ± 0.07 μg/mL, whereas MF1 and MF2 were non-toxic. The 10-methylanthracene-9-carboxaldehyde, 2-isopropyl-10-methylphenanthrene, 2-tert butylanthracene, β-eudesmol, and α-eudesmol showed a strong binding propensity ranging from -5.1 to -6.2 and -6.4 to -7.6 kcal/mol towards tyrosinase and AChE respectively. The leaf extract of M. cajuputi could be considered a novel source of naturally occurring antioxidants and promising enzyme inhibitors.
Millî Mücadele Döneminde Samsun
Authors: Çapa Mesut
Published: December 2023

During the National Struggle period, the independent Canik Sanjak consisted of Samsun, Bafra, Çarşamba and Terme. Samsun port, which is an important export and transportation center, was the second gate to Anatolia after İnebolu in the Black Sea. Passengers, domestic and foreign delegations from Istanbul, Russia and the Caucasus, as well as some of the goods and military equipment, reached Anatolia via Samsun. Because of its importance, the Greeks bombarded Samsun on 7 June 1922 with military excuses.Samsun is a starting point for the history of the National Struggle. After Mustafa Kemal Pasha landed in Samsun on 19 May 1919, he started to organize the independence movement in Havza. All these studies were carried out in Samsun and its surroundings despite the pressures of the British occupation forces and the control officers of the Allied Powers. Samsun Müdafaa-i Hukuk Cemiyeti, which was established after the Sivas Congress, pioneered the activities of the National Struggle in Samsun. Despite the reservations of the Samsun Governor and the Mayor, the First Parliamentary elections were held as a result of the cooperation of the Defense of Law Society with Ankara. National detachments were established by the Defense of the Law Society in order to defend the people against the Pontus gangs. The Defense of the Law Society had a great role in the organization of the meetings with the aid given to the families of the army and soldiers.Pontus Greeks were effective in and around Samsun until the end of the National Struggle. Mustafa Kemal Pasha, in a report he sent from Samsun, stated that about forty Greek gangs were operating in the area. Although the Grand National Assembly of Turkey established the Central Army in the late 1920s against these gangs who wanted to establish a Greek-Pontic state on the Black Sea coast, no definite result could be obtained. Thereupon, as of 8 February 1922, the task of combating the Pontusists was given to the 10th Division Command. After the investigations carried out by Deputy Internal Affairs Minister Fethi Bey in Samsun between 28 January and 25 March 1922, a comprehensive operation was launched against the Pontusists. In 1923, a Turkish-Greek population exchange signed between Greece and Turkey in Lausanne was started to get implemented after the Pontus rebellion. In accordance with the exchange agreement, exchanged Turks from Greece were settled in place of the Greeks who went to Greece in 1923-1924.
"Millî Mücadelede Cephe Gerisinin Stratejik Önemi ve İnebolu"
Authors: Özlü Hüsnü
Published: December 2023

"The military methods developed behind the front during the National Struggle Period were just as crucial to the military operations as the battles themselves. The primary factor and prerequisite for success on the front is supporting the fronts regarding logistics, supply, and human resources. The Black Sea region’s rear-front conflicts during the National Struggle were particularly important in the Kastamonu and Inebolu regions. At that time, the importance of the region is further increased by the logistical support provided to the fronts, the passageway taken by the patriots entering Anatolia, and the strategic location connected to the front. Military materials brought to Inebolu by sea were transported to the inner regions which are safer in terms of security, and from this region to the fronts via Kastamonu road by means of transport arms. The military authorities on the one hand and the commissions constituted on the other carried out these transportation activities in the difficult circumstances of those years. During the National Struggle, it served as the major route for a sizeable portion of people who traveled to Anatolia to join the independence effort, and from this location, the morale of the front was enhanced. While this was going on, individuals from various walks of life including soldiers, statesmen, authors, and poets provided conferences and advice to the populace while they were in Inebolu. Particularly, as Ankara became the center of the movement, soldiers and people who traveled into Anatolia covertly from Istanbul chose this route more. The main factor influencing this selection is that Inebolu offers the quickest route to Ankara whereas Marmara lacks complete protection, on the one hand. This significance has always been upheld by Inebolu, which was crucial in both the transition and transmission of the independence idea as it moved throughout Anatolia as well as the transportation of arms and ammunition. In order to establish the strategy behind the front and provide it a legal foundation, significant decisions were made and put into practice in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Orders Of National Task, the War Council’s efforts, and in this case, the Independence Courts’ legal frameworks all played a significant role in the design of the war’s rear-front strategy. This article analyzes the applications and outcomes of various choices made from Inebolu backwards."
An Improved Dynamic Slicing Algorithm to Prioritize a Concurrent Multi-threading in Operating System
Authors: Mohammed Maysoon A.
Published: December 2023

One of the issues with multi-threading in operating systems is the concurrency of operations or threads. In a multithreaded process on a single processor, the processor can switch execution resources between threads, enabling concurrent execution. Concurrency indicates that more than one thread is making progress, but the threads are not actually running simultaneously. The switching between threads occurs rapidly enough that the threads might appear to run simultaneously. In this paper, three related strategies for prioritizing multi-threading are presented: ACE-thread, Semaphore coprocessor, and the Concurrent Priority Threads Algorithm. The aim of this work is to enhance an existing prioritization algorithm, specifically the Concurrent Priority Threads Algorithm, by extending a dynamic slicing algorithm to prioritize multi-threading concurrently. The algorithm is designed to compute correct slices in multi-threading prioritization scenarios. Threads with the same highest priority can perform in a synchronized manner without encountering deadlocks. The C++ programming language is used to implement the extended algorithms. The improved algorithm achieved results that were 3% more accurate than the existing one. The outcomes of this work would facilitate the simultaneous execution of threads with the same priority, ultimately reducing waiting and processing times.
Receiver Operating Characteristic Analysis of Liver Function Tests in Patients with Chronic Viral Hepatitis B in Baghdad, Iraq
Authors: Mohsen Rana T.
Published: December 2023

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global health challenge, and clearance or persistence of HBV is mostly determined by host immune responses, Therefore, this study aimed to determine HBV effects in chronic HBV patients living in Baghdad receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The impact of HBV genotypes on liver-function parameters was explored A case-control study was conducted during June-October 2018 on 80 chronic HBV patients and 96 matched control. The results revealed that most patients were males 50 (62.5%), while female patients accounted for 30 (37.5%). The sera of patients were positive for anti-HBc (hepatitis B core antigen) IgG and -HbsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen) antibodies, while they were negative for anti-Hbc IgM antibody. Such profile is consistent with the interpretation of chronic HBV infection. Four liver-function tests (LFTs); total serum bilirubin (TSB), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were assessed. Significantly increased levels of ALP, ALT and AST were observed in HBV patients compared to normal healthy control, while TSB showed no significant variation. However, in receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, only ALP and AST occupied an excellent area under curve (AUC > 0.90).
Límites de la representación indígena en el Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia. Entre lo rural-ancestral y la realidad urbana indígena
Authors: Claros Javier
Published: December 2023

El proyecto político del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia ha pasado por alto las experiencias indígenas de aquellos que residen en áreas urbanas, excluyéndolos de las políticas de reconocimiento. Sin embargo, los indígenas urbanos aymaras no solo han buscado el reconocimiento de sus derechos indígenas, sino también la participación en la redistribución económica propuesta por el proyecto plurinacional. En este ensayo, se plantea una interrogante sobre los límites de la representación indígena en el marco del Estado Plurinacional, con el objetivo de reexaminar la cuestión indígena en Bolivia y desafiar la romantización rural-ancestral que ha obnubilado a propios y a extraños.

La hospitalización de una persona en unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) puede generar alteraciones mentales y físicas post internación; en Colombia existen pocas investigaciones para la detección anticipada de morbilidad psicológica en UCI. Este estudio busca generar una versión al español equivalente al instrumento Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool (IPAT). Se realizó una traducción directa e inversa del instrumento, previa autorización de los autores se incluyó participación de profesionales lingüistas en las traducciones. Se aplicaron entrevistas a personas de diferentes perfiles sociodemográficos hospitalizadas en UCI, para verificar la adecuación cultural y comparación de la versión colombiana con la versión original. Se encontraron que los ítems 1, 2, 3, 4 y 5 presentaron comprensibilidad del 100%, los restantes ítems 6, 7, 8 y 9 comprensibilidad del 97,5% y el ítem 10 una compresibilidad del 90% que requirió modificaciones. Las medidas de soporte vital como la ventilación mecánica, experiencias traumáticas y recuerdos de la hospitalización, han demostrado ser factores para desarrollar: Ansiedad depresión y trastorno de estrés postraumático, se espera que este estudio sea un punto de referencia para nuevas investigaciones basadas en adaptaciones transculturales de enfermería en Latinoamérica respecto a morbilidad psicológica. La versión colombiana del instrumento IPAT derivada por la adaptación transcultural es equivalente a la inglesa. El estudio sirve como inicio de nuevas investigaciones que busquen desarrollar un instrumento en español personalizado y verificado, y que pueda ser utilizado de forma habitual por el personal de enfermería en un futuro próximo.
Determining the Optimal Plant Spacing for Cotton Varieties to Enhance the Growth and Yield of Cotton Under HDPS in Karaikal Region.

Published: December 2023

Cotton has now become well-known and grown all throughout the world and all the states of India. India's seed cotton production per unit area is still significantly lower than that of several other cotton-growing countries throughout the world. Two of the most prominent factors leading to the country's low cotton crop productivity are a lack of plant population and the use of low-potential cultivars. it is important to investigate new strategies for cotton production. In April 2020, a field experiment was conducted to study the effect of different plant varieties and spacing on the growth and yield of compact-type cotton. The experiment followed a split-plot design with three replications, with four levels of cotton varieties (Suraj, Supriya, CO 15 and CO 17) in the main plots and seven levels of plant spacing (60 cm x 10 cm, 60 cm x 15 cm, 80 cm x 10 cm, 80 cm x 15 cm, 100 cm x 10 cm, 100 cm x 15 cm, and 75 cm x 30 cm) in the subplots. The results revealed that cotton crop growth such as plant height, leaf area index and dry matter production, was higher in CO 17 than in other varieties. Compared to the yield and yield component variety CO 17 recorded higher seed cotton yield with more bolls per plant and highest boll weight than others. Results revealed that the higher plant spacing of 1,66,666 plants (60 x 10 cm) observed significant maximum plant height. In contrast, the 100 x 10 cm plant spacing recorded the highest growth contributing characteristics, such as leaf area index and dry matter production. 100 x 10 cm spacing has recorded a significantly higher number of bolls per plant; the highest single boll weight and maximum seed cotton yield were recorded. Among the interaction varieties, CO 17 with a 100 x 10 cm plant spacing registered the highest leaf area index and dry matter production in growth, considering yield and yield parameters, recorded higher seed cotton yield, higher number of bolls per plant and boll weight during the cropping period.
Examining The Right To Die In The Context Of Euthanasia: A Critical Analysis
Authors: Wageshwari Tanaya
Published: December 2023

The right to life is a fundamental entitlement, safeguarded by both Article 21 of the Indian Constitution and Article 3 of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Every facet of the right to life is subject to judicial scrutiny and contingent upon specific circumstances. Within this realm lies the contentious right to die, often associated with the concept of euthanasia or "mercy killing." Advocates argue that individuals, under certain circumstances, should have the option to choose death rather than being compelled to endure continued existence. Divergent viewpoints on this issue either oppose the legalization of euthanasia or dispute the recognition of the right to die based on particular grounds. Within the boundaries of a dignified life, individuals have the right to confront challenging conditions without succumbing to despair. Such principles are ingrained in Indian culture, with Hinduism emphasizing the eternal nature of the soul and the transformative nature of death for the body. Conversely, the Muslim faith asserts that life should only conclude at Allah's will, supporting a stance aligned with natural death. In contemporary society, there is a growing argument that individuals should be granted the option to choose death under specific circumstances. Consequently, it is imperative for the government and the Parliament to establish pertinent laws and regulations to prevent potential abuses in such situations

The surface dose of radiation in conventional diagnostic radiology exams, also known as the entrance surface dose (ESD), is measured to ensure optimal radiation protection for patients. This study aimed to determine and analyze the doses received by pediatric patients who underwent a chest X-ray examination while being treated in the NICU and PICU rooms at Hermina Karawang Hospital. The research involved measuring the radiation dose in pediatric patients using the OSLD nanoDot. This susceptible device can detect low-dose X-ray radiation exposure, especially in pediatric patients. The study was conducted from September to December 2022 and included 35 patients aged 0 to 5. The results of the ESD measurements received by pediatric patients at Hermina Karawang Hospital in the 0-1 year age group were found to be in line with the DRL (Diagnostic Reference Levels) of the United Kingdom (UK) and Austria, which recommend a range of 0.05 – 0.055 mGy. The average ESD value for this age group was 0.05 mGy. Similarly, for the 1-5 year age group, an average ESD value of 0.048 mGy was obtained, below the UK and Austria DRL range of 0.05 – 0.069 mGy. These results indicate that the ESD received by pediatric patients during thoracic examination at Hermina Karawang Hospital is close to the DRL values recommended by the UK and Austria. However, it is essential to note that regardless of the dose received, it must always be justified and optimized to prevent unnecessary radiation exposure.

Optimization of medical exposure seeks to keep the dose given to the patient as low as possible. In diagnostic and interventional radiology activities, optimization focuses on low doses and ensures sufficient image quality for diagnostic purposes. Implementation of medical exposure optimization can be evaluated by applying the Diagnostic Reference Level (DRL). Indonesia set DRL values for CT Scan and General Radiography in 2021. This study monitored efforts to optimize medical exposure nationally by comparing the annual dose profile with the Indonesian DRL (I-DRL) and I-DRL against the regional DRL, divided into five regions. The study was conducted from January to December 2022 using patient dose data at the Patient Dose Data Information System (Si-INTAN). The data was then analyzed to obtain a national dose profile through Quartile 3 analysis (Q3) and regional DRL values through median analysis (Q2). The analysis results show several CT Scan examinations, which are still higher than the National DRL. In addition, there are high doses for several types of examinations in the Bali and Nusa Tenggara Region for CT Scan and General Radiography. In the Kalimantan Region, there are types of CT Scan examinations that are still higher than the National DRL. Based on these results, BAPETEN needs to increase efforts to foster and encourage implementation, optimizing medical exposure nationally. Efforts that can be made include issuing optimization technical guidelines for each X-ray equipment, socialization and assistance on recording and reporting patient dose data, evaluating typical dose values, evaluating medical exposure optimization, and supervising the implementation of optimizing medical exposure through inspections. BAPETEN should collaborate with stakeholders so that the programmed efforts can be carried out effectively.

Manejos e afetos nos diálogos sobre cooperativismo
Authors: Zequetto Antonio Cleber , De Siqueira Aline Wendpap Nunes , Moura Anna Maria
Published: December 2023

Este texto apresenta algumas problematizações iniciais sobre a aplicabilidade dos pressupostos teóricos-metodológicos da cartografia como método para uma pesquisa de intervenção em Ciências Humanas. Ele emerge a partir da reunião de estudos e discussões provenientes do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos de Cultura Contemporânea (PPGECCO-UFMT), mais especificamente da linha de Comunicação e Mediações, visto que une elaborações provocadas por uma pesquisa de doutorado, cujo objetivo era investigar o ethos do cooperativismo contemporâneo, que se originou a partir dos Princípios de Rochdale, em 1844 na Inglaterra, com uma estudo mais recente em nível de mestrado que também aborda questões sobre o cooperativismo em pequenas iniciativas familiares mato-grossenses. Diante disso, este artigo dá a ver pesquisas sobre os afetos ligados ao cooperativismo e considera o contexto contemporâneo nos manejos dos diálogos obtidos.
As distintas infâncias e a educação infantil no referencial curricular da Amazônia – Acre e Rondônia
Authors: Gomes Joelton Rezende , Pimenta Jussara Santos
Published: December 2023

O texto tem como objetivo compreender os modos de ver e dizer a Educação Infantil na Amazônia Legal com um recorte espacial nas unidades federativas do Acre e Rondônia a partir do Referencial Curricular dos respectivos Estados. Os citados documentos foram analisados não com o intuito de apresentar respostas à suposta necessidade de se elencar os conteúdos com uma concepção tecnicista de currículo, mas com a pretensão de refletir se as especificidades das crianças da Amazônia (indígenas, quilombolas, camponesas) são previstas e apresentadas aos docentes de modo a promover uma Educação Infantil mais correlacionada com as infâncias distintas. Dessa forma, a investigação mostra considerações a respeito dos Referenciais Curriculares com o objetivo de vislumbrar possibilidades de promover experiências e vivências em torno do conhecimento produzido pela humanidade e pelo meio social de cada criança.
