Ge-stell como destino em Martin Heidegger
Authors: Castro Leidiane Coimbra de Lima
Published: August 2022

A com-posição (Ge-stell) é apresentada por Martin Heidegger como a essência da técnica moderna. Esta se apresenta contemporaneamente de um modo completamente distinto da relação instrumental e antropológica que envolve apenas os afazeres ou a lida com objetos técnicos cotidianamente. Como manifestação de ser, a com-posição abre para o homem mais uma possibilidade de ser-no-mundo. A partir da sintonia que pode estabelecer com essa nova disposição, ele realiza o modo de ser do técnico. Caracterizado por encerrar suas possibilidades de ser num único modo, sobretudo por ser característica da com-posição (Ge-stell), o pensamento calculador, o modo de ser técnico impossibilita o homem de refletir sobre o que lhe constitui propriamente, que é a abertura para modos de ser.
Fluvialidades: natureza à deriva

Published: August 2022

O rio, uma manifestação da physis, é o tópico de algumas excursões filosóficas empreendidas neste ensaio. De início, ainda na superfície, indagamos modos de se lidar com o rio. Na companhia de Heidegger, surgem, mais adiante, correntezas que, a princípio, se apresentam como um movimento fenomenológico, mas que, na verdade, desviam-nos para fenômenos que, aparentemente triviais, determinam nossas vivências cotidianas. Essas digressões levam-nos, finalmente, à necessidade de escafandrar a origem da ciência e a essência da metafísica moderna.
Dire oui à la technique moderne tout en lui disant non: avec Heidegger

Published: August 2022

« Mais, là où il y a danger, là aussi croît ce qui sauve », écrivait le poète Hölderlin à l'aube du XIXe siècle. Aujourd’hui, force est de constater que la technicisation méthodique du monde accompagnée d’une terrible dévastation progressive de ce monde que nous habitons – au sens fort du terme, dévoilant un être-présent-au-monde-et-à-autrui – menacent tout être vivant. La technique est devenue un véritable danger.
O Geotrauma e a História do seer
Authors: Mata Antonio Da
Published: August 2022

Heidegger critica a metafísica subjetividade – a questão da vontade de poder, por exemplo, que parece desembocar num grande problema para o autor, que seria justamente a total inteligibilidade da realidade (um exercício sem dúvida operado pelo capitalismo). No entanto, apesar de criticar a subjetividade, não retira do humano sua excepcionalidade diante dos outros entes (como os animais e as pedras). Na verdade, apenas no humano a virada (o segundo começo) pode se dar. A ideia de que tal evento possa ocorrer apenas no humano me faz pensar em como as ideias de Heidegger, a revelia do que o próprio esperava, alimentam uma forma de exclusão do outro através do mesmo, muito semelhante à articulada pelo capitalismo (principalmente em sua forma tardia e contemporânea). Capitalismo e metafísica, portanto, seriam dois lados da mesma moeda. Nesse ensaio, gostaria de (re)pensar o conceito da “máquina antropológica” heideggeriana à luz dos conceitos de geotrauma, geontopoder e geontologia, numa tentativa de especular a respeito da intrusão do Húmus naquilo que Heidegger chama de História do Seer, movimento essencial para o segundo começo.

In 2004-2005 the Indonesian Health Demographers Survey found about 20% of the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) caused by obesity caused by pre-eclampsia symptoms. A descriptive study has been conducted to determine the level of knowledge of pregnant women about obesity by Tengku Mansyur Hospital Tanjung Balai City in 2021 based on education, parity. This population is all pregnant women who have their pregnancy checked by Tengku Mansyur Hospital Tanjung Balai City in 2021 as many as 33 people and the entire population is based on samples. From the results of research on the level of knowledge of pregnant women about obesity by Tengku Mansyur Hospital, Tanjung Balai City in 2021, the majority of respondents have sufficient knowledge (57.58%) and the minority has less knowledge as much as 14%. Based on the majority age 20-35 years as many as 19 people (57.58%) with sufficient knowledge and broadly aged <20 years 2 people (6.06%) are less knowledgeable. Based on education with high school education as many as 7 people (21.21%) have sufficient knowledge and a minority with elementary education as many as 3 people (9.10%) have sufficient knowledge. And based on parity, the majority had less knowledge in the primigravida group as many as 9 people (27.27%) and the minority with sufficient knowledge in the primigravida group as many as 1 person (3.03%). It is hoped that the role of health workers, especially midwives, is to provide health education and counseling about obesity in pregnant women.

Preeclampsia were still a threatening problem in pregnancy, especially in developing countries. In Indonesia, preeclampsia were a high cause of maternal mortality in addition to bleeding and infection. Preeclampsia could cause problems for both the fetus and the mother. The conditions of preeclampsia and eclampsia would adversely affect the health of the fetus due to decreased uteroplacental perfusion, hypovolemia, vasospasm, and damage to endothelial cells of the placental vessels. The exact cause of preeclampsia were not known. There are various risk factors, including parity factors and a history of hypertension. This type of research was a descriptive study with a case control design and using univariate and bivariate data analysis techniques with chi-square test where the population were inpartu mothers in the VK Room of Medika Stannia Hospital, Bangka Regency. Sampling using accidental sampling technique with a significant level of 95% (p 0.05). The results of this study indicate that there was a relationship between parity (p value 0.009) and history of hypertension (p value 0.023) to the incidence of severe preeclampsia. Based on the results of the study, it is hoped that the hospital will be able to control the risk of severe preeclampsia in the mother during pregnancy, especially mothers with primigravida parity and have a history of hypertension.

Abstract. Retrieving high-precision concentrations of atmospheric trace gases from FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectrometry requires a precise knowledge of the instrumental performance. In this context, this paper examines the impact on the ozone (O3) retrievals of several approaches used to characterize the instrumental line shape (ILS) function of ground-based FTIR spectrometers within NDACC (Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change). The analysis has been carried out at the subtropical Izaña Observatory (IZO, Spain) by using the 20-year time series of the high-resolution FTIR solar absorption spectra acquired between 1999 and 2018. The theoretical quality assessment and the comparison to independent O3 observations available at IZO (Brewer O3 total columns and electrochemical concentration cell, ECC, sondes) reveal consistent findings. The inclusion of a simultaneous retrieval of the ILS parameters in the O3 retrieval strategy allows, on the one hand, a rough instrumental characterization to be obtained and, on the other hand, the precision of the FTIR O3 products to be slightly improved. The improvement is of special relevance above the lower stratosphere, where the cross-interference between the O3 vertical distribution and the instrumental performance is more significant. However, it has been found that the simultaneous ILS retrieval leads to a misinterpretation of the O3 variations on daily and seasonal scales. Therefore, in order to ensure the independence of the O3 retrievals and the instrumental response, the optimal approach to deal with the FTIR instrumental characterization is found to be the continuous monitoring of the ILS function by means of independent observations, such as gas cell measurements.

Abstract. A new dataset of meteorological records from Antarctic automatic weather stations (here called AntAWS dataset) at 3-hourly, daily and monthly resolutions is constructed with quality control. This dataset compiles the measurements of air temperature, air pressure, relative humidity, and wind speed and direction from 216 AWSs available during 1980–2021. Their spatial distribution remains heterogeneous, with a majority of instrumented sites located on the coastal areas, and less at the inland East Antarctic Plateau. Among the 216 AWSs, 55 of them have the records spanning more than 20 years, and 25 of them spanning more than 30 years. Among the five meteorological parameters, the air temperature measurement data have the best continuity and the highest data integrity. The comprehensive compilation of AWS observations has the main aim to make them easy and time-saving to be used for local, regional and continental studies, which can be accessed at https://doi.org/10.48567/key7-ch19 (Wang et al., 2022). This dataset will be valuable for better characterizing surface climatology throughout the continent of Antarctica, improving our understanding of Antarctic surface snow-atmosphere interactions, and estimating regional climate models or meteorological reanalysis products.
Response time correction of slow-response sensor data by deconvolution of the growth-law equation
Authors: Dølven Knut Ola , Vierinen Juha , Grilli Roberto , Triest Jack , Ferré Bénédicte
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Accurate high-resolution measurements are essential to improve our understanding of environmental processes. Several chemical sensors relying on membrane separation extraction techniques have slow response times due to a dependence on equilibrium partitioning across the membrane separating the measured medium (i.e., a measuring chamber) and the medium of interest (i.e., a solvent). We present a new technique for deconvolving slow-sensor-response signals using statistical inverse theory; applying a weighted linear least-squares estimator with the growth law as a measurement model.
The solution is regularized using model sparsity, assuming changes in the measured quantity occur with a certain time step, which can be selected based on domain-specific knowledge or L-curve analysis. The advantage of this method is that it (1) models error propagation, providing an explicit uncertainty estimate of the response-time-corrected signal; (2) enables evaluation of the solution self consistency; and (3) only requires instrument accuracy, response time, and data as input parameters. Functionality of the technique is demonstrated using simulated, laboratory, and field measurements. In the field experiment, the coefficient of determination (R2) of a slow-response methane sensor in comparison with an alternative fast-response sensor significantly improved from 0.18 to 0.91 after signal deconvolution. This shows how the proposed method can open up a considerably wider set of applications for sensors and methods suffering from slow response times due to a reliance on the efficacy of diffusion processes.
Identifying plausible historical scenarios for coupled lake level and seismicity rate changes: the case for the Dead Sea during the last 2 millennia
Authors: Belferman Mariana , Agnon Amotz , Katsman Regina , Ben-Avraham Zvi
Published: August 2022

Abstract. Studies of seismicity induced by water level changes in reservoirs and lakes
focus typically on well-documented contemporary records. Can such
interactions be explored on a historical timescale when the two data types
suffer from severe uncertainties stemming from the different nature of the
data, methods and resolution? In this study, we show a way to considerably
improve the correlation between interpolated records of historical Dead Sea
level reconstructions and discrete seismicity patterns in the area, over the
period of the past 2 millennia. Inspired by the results of our previous
study, we carefully revise the historical earthquake catalog in the Dead
Sea to exclude remote earthquakes and include small local events. For
addressing the uncertainties in lake levels, we generate an ensemble of
random interpolations of water level curves and rank them by correlation
with the historical records of seismic stress release. We compute a
synthetic catalog of earthquakes, applying a Mohr–Coulomb failure criterion.
The critical state of stress at hypocentral depths is achieved by static
poroelastic deformations incorporating the change in effective normal stress
(due to the best-fit water level curve) superimposed on the regional
strike-slip tectonic deformations. The earthquakes of this synthetic catalog
show an impressive agreement with historical earthquakes documented to have
damaged Jerusalem. We refine the seismic catalog by searching for small local
events that toppled houses in Jerusalem; including all local events improves
the correlation with lake levels. We demonstrate for the first time a high
correlation between water level changes and the recorded recurrence
intervals of historical earthquakes.
Evaluation of the Efficacy of 3D-guided Piezosurgery in Accelerating Mandibular Orthodontic Teeth Alignment: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Adults.
Authors: Gibreal Omar , Al-modallal Yasser , Al-assaf Maher
Published: August 2022

Objective: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 3D guided piezocision (a minimally invasive surgical technique) in accelerating orthodontic tooth movements (OTM) since the literature does not provide high-quality evidence to confirm that Piezocision results in significant OTM acceleration. Furthermore, no randomized controlled trial (RCT) has utilized 3D piezo-surgical guides to accelerate severe orthodontic de-crowding.Study design: A Parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted on patients with severe mandibular teeth irregularity. Sample size was 34 patients (19 females and 15 males), then subjects were divided into two parallel groups using Minitab® Version 17 software. First group received conventional orthodontic treatment, whereas the second group received 3D- guided piezo-assisted orthodontic one. Little irregularity index (LII) changes were studied using dental cast in four time points before inserting the first archwire (T0), after 1 month of treatment onset  (T1), after 2 months (T2), and at the end of the alignment stage (T3) and the overall alignment time (OAT) required to complete anterior alignment of the mandibular arch was also measured.Results: Ninety-five severe dental crowding patients were evaluated for eligibility, 46 of them fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Thirty-four participants were allocated to the treatment groups randomly. There were no withdrawals during the trial phases. Accordingly, the results of 34 patients were statistically analyzed. OAT was reduced by 48% in the experimental group compared to the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups . Likewise, the time difference between all arch changes was significantly lower when 3D guided piezocision was performed, except for the first arch (T0) and the last arches (T3).Conclusion: Minimally invasive 3D guided Piezocision seems to be a very effective and easy technique in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement.

Plastic pollution is one of the most importation subjects of water contaminations in the world. Plastic pollutions not only threats locally, but also, they are widespread, posing broader risks to the world and environment. Plastics which act as pollutants are categorized by size into micro-, meso-, or macro debris. The micro plastics move through oceans from one region to another region. Today, there are several evidence of micro plastics in south pole where we believe it as a clean area. This paper surveys the effects of micro plastics on the Great Lakes.

Published: August 2022

This research explores Manju Kapur's Home from the perspective of modernity. Tensions between tradition and modernity, represented in the novel can be viewed against the influence of a western culture that has taken place in the 21st century within the lives of people in India. Ideological stance on the notions of tradition vs. modernity in respect to the conflicting issue, through the characters as Nisha, Rupa, Yashpal, Ajay, Vijaya, and Raju, where they almost abandoned their parental business style, traditional thinking and moves ahead of their way either in their business or in the family life. Characters in the novel are deviated from their social norms and values due to the influences of western values on Indian society is a sign of modernity. This research is qualitative in nature. This research approaches Kapur's Home from the theoretical perspectives of modernity that have appeared in the studies of Jurgen Habermas, Immanuel Kant, Michel Foucault, Peter Wagner, Dilip Parmeshwar Gaonkar, and Ziauddin Saradar. This research finds that joint family divides into a single settlement, characters start to adopt modernity, forgetting their traditional norms and values for their benefit.

Published: August 2022

Las enfermedades tropicales desatendidas suelen presentar una evolución crónica y se caracterizan por producir discapacidad física y mental a quienes las padecen, siendo asociadas a la estigmatización social. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo en 182 pacientes con enfermedades tropicales en regiones endémicas para leishmania, enfermedad de Chagas, filariasis linfática, oncocercosis, dengue y parasitosis intestinales; con el fin de evaluar la salud mental comunitaria, aplicando las tecnologias de información y comunicación (TIC), mediante el uso de telefónos móviles y telefonía fija. Se aplicó una encuesta para valorar el conocimiento y disposición de los pacientes respecto a las TIC, se valoró la salud mental calificada y la percibida por los pacientes mediante una escala de Likert. A partir de la calificación de la salud mental comunitaria se asociaron los estigmas sobre las enfermedades endémicas y luego se aplicó una encuesta para conocer la percepción de los pacientes, respecto a la influencia de los estigmas en la salud mental comunitaria. La mayor proporción de los participantes coincidieron en ser evaluados por parte del personal de salud, mediante herramientas de TIC y manifestaron tener problemas emocionales. Asimismo, el rechazo social como las secuelas de la enfermedad resultaron ser las manifestaciones más frecuentes de los participantes. En conclusión, el empleo de las TIC, en el área de salud mental comunitaria, supone un avance importante en el intercambio de información entre terapeutas y pacientes con enfermedades tropicales desatendidas, contribuyendo a disminuir el estigma social al que se ven sometidos y reestablecer su bienestar mental.

Authors: Baki Oylum Gokkurt , Baki Birol
Published: August 2022

The Black Sea is surrounded by numerous industrial and agricultural areas. Therefore, many land-based pollutants are released into the Black Sea. Discharge of industrial and agricultural untreated wastewater to the Black Sea from a single source or scattered sources has been reported.The current study aimed to determine the concentration values of some heavy metals in the tissues of whiting fish (Merlangius merlangus, Linnaeus, 1758), one of the economical demersal species of the Black Sea. Accordingly, the accumulation concentrations of heavy metals including manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) were investigated in muscle tissue, gill, gonad, liver, and other visceral organs (except liver) in whiting fish samples.Heavy metal concentrations determined in the muscle tissue, which are particularly important for human consumption and health were sorted as Fe>Zn>Cu>Co>Mn and the concentration values of metals were 82.84±7.11; 50.45±12.24; <0.818; <0.479; <0.413 µg.kg-1, respectively. Zn had the highest concentration in gonad tissues whereas the highest concentration determined in the liver, visceral organs, and gills was Fe. As a result of the comparison of heavy metal results obtained in the muscle tissues with the relevant standards (FAO, 2010 and FAO/WHO, 2004), it was found that they were below the risky limit values for human consumption.
Suffering the Spirits: Affective Excess in Early Twentieth-Century Spiritualist Séance Performance Technique
Authors: Shannon Jacquelyn Marie
Published: August 2022

Drawing on archival research, this article locates and categorizes ways that suffering was made to figure as an excess, dynamized through the body of spiritualist mediums, in séance performance during the early twentieth century. Across these categories—Convulsion, Displacement, Speech Breaking, Invasion or Wounding, Crushing, and Exhaustion—I analyze how techniques of physicalizing suffering provided materiality to spirit presence so as to make it sensible, somatically and semantically, to early twentieth-century spectators. I argue that suffering played a critical role in believability and contributed to a spectatorial experience that affirmed spiritualist belief in “living spirit” and a reality in which the dead have agency. The article concludes with discussion about spiritualism as a unique and productive case study for thinking through broader methodological challenges and approaches for analyzing the materiality of performance.

Published: August 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a pobreza nas famílias brasileiras e suas relações causais com as características da própria família, aspectos pessoais do chefe da família e com a infraestrutura do domicílio. Para tanto, a pobreza é avaliada pela Modelagem de Equações Estruturais (MEE), ainda pouco utilizada em estudos sobre o tema, que permite testar a validade de modelos teóricos que definem as relações causais entre as variáveis, além de permitir o uso de variáveis não observáveis. Para tanto, foram utilizados os microdados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios nos anos de 2004 e 2012. Entre os resultados, verificou-se que os domicílios chefiados por homem, com a presença de cônjuge, localizados na área urbana, com saneamento básico e conforto lar estão associados com o maior rendimento domiciliar per capita, fazendo com que estejam, proporcionalmente, em menor condição de pobreza, tanto em 2004 quanto em 2012. Dessa forma, a metodologia foi adequada para analisar as relações causais do fenômeno da pobreza brasileira. Esta comunicação foi dividida em duas partes, sendo apresentados os aspectos introdutórios e metodológicos na primeira parte e o desenvolvimento e conclusões na segunda parte.

Published: August 2022

Background: Chest pain has been observed in the number of peoples. This is the major cause of hospital visit. Objective: The purpose of the study was to observe the acute coronary syndrome prevalence. The association of the chest pain with the cardiovascular risk factors was also studied. Study design: It is an observational study with statistical approach, conducted at Wazirabad Institute of Cardiology, Wazirabad and Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. Material and Methods: The study was conducted from Dec 2021 to May 2022. The 101 patients visited the teaching hospital of our department were included in the study. Focusing on the history of hypertension diabetes and smoking all the participants involved in the study were interviewed. The acute coronary syndrome prevalence rates were calculated. In order to find the correlation of the variables with the ACS the linear regression analysis was performed. Results: The calculated mean age was observed to be 54± 16.5 years. Out of all the patients included in the study the 75% were male participants, rest of them were female. The hypertension symptoms were observed in the 37% patients. The diabetes were observed in 26% while 23% patients were smokers. The 50% patients had non-specific chest pain while 31% patients had atypical chest pain. The 18% patients had the typical chest pain. There were total 33% patients that were suffering from acute coronary syndrome. Among these patients there were 7% patients that had unstable angina and 10% had NSTEMI, with only 17% patients suffering from STEMI.

Background: Out of all the human beings present the 20% are infertile. The 10-15 couple experience difficulties in conceiving. Study design: It is a cross-sectional study with statistical approach, conducted at Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Indus Hospital Jubliee Town, Lahore. Objective: The study aimed to study the psychological effects of subfertility on women. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on the 80 female patients under treatment as they are not conceiving after repeated unsuccessful attempts. The female attended the gynecology department of our institute teaching hospital. The review board of the hospital approved the study. The average duration of not getting pregnant was 2 years in these participants. The study was conducted for 6 month from January 2022 to June 2022. Results: The average duration of not getting pregnant was 2 years in these participants. Most of the women reported that they previously had no child. However, there were 14% of them that had one child already. The mean of the state anxiety in these female participants came out to be 44 with a SD of 9.5. And the trait anxiety was reported to be 41 with SD of 7.1. Both of these features were found to be higher in case of sub fertile female patients undergoing fertility treatment. The level of stress was shown to be high in case of marital issues as compare to the social stress and personal stress. The educational level was found to be statistically linked to the participant’s stress level. However, the financial condition and age was not found to be linked to stress in sub fertile female. Conclusion: The women undergoing fertility treatments as they are not being successful to conceive suffers from stress, anxiety and depression like psychological issues. The societal pressure and low educational level are some of the factors that elevates the psychological issues in sub fertile female. If proper professional guidance is given to the patients it can help them cope with the fertility issue stress free. Therefore, counseling is a much helpful thing to accept and face the challenges of sub fertility. Keywords: Subfertility, psychological status, stress, anxiety and education level

Background: The essential part of medical care for the patients diagnosed with the chronic kidney diseases (CKD) is resuscitation. The limited and sufficient knowledge about the outcomes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation is present. Objective: The study aimed to measure the survival outcomes of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the patients diagnosed with CKD. Study design: This observational study was conducted at the Al Nafees Medical College and Hospital Islamabad and Sahara Medical College, Narowal from March 2021 to March 2022. Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 200 patients visited the cardiology department of our institute teaching hospital. The patients older than 18 years were included in the study. The demographic features with survival outcomes were recorded. The t-test and chi-square test was performed for the statistical analysis. The regression model was used to identify the relationship between CKD and in-hospital mortality cases. The model was also adjusted. Results: It was noted that all the patients suffering from CKD were of old age and most of them belongs from those area that was not facilitate with proper medical care and other facilities. All these diseases were also present in the patients with CDK. Most of the patients had age more than 76 years but the mortality rate of the CDK patients was higher in the young patients suffering from CDK. But after justification of all the other symptoms it was predicted that the rate of mortality is 10 % higher in older patients. Conclusion: it was concluded that the mortality rate is greater in the patients having some serious illness in the hospital like CPR. After receiving CPR, the conditions of older patients get worst. The purpose of this study was to provide information to the patients suffering from CKD and the medical staff treating them.

We evaluated the mollusk death assemblages along seven sites in a deepsea expedition off northwestern (NW) Cuba. We aimed to (1) provide the first baseline of mollusk diversity in sediments of the NW region, and (2) test if there were west-east gradients of α- and β-diversities.
We found 141 species in sediments: 68 deepsea benthic, 43 shelf benthic, and 30 pelagic species. The richness of pelagic species was similar along the NW region indicating significant settlement of pteropod shells to the seabed. The occurrence of shelf species in the deepsea suggested a downslope
transport of shells enhanced by the slope steepness and dredging in two ports. β-diversity of deepsea benthic mollusks showed a high turnover at local scales explained by habitat heterogeneity. β-diversity of pelagic species was extremely low suggesting that the planktonic assemblage
was evenly distributed. In contrast, high β-diversity of shelf benthic species occurred likely due to downslope transportation of materials. Deepsea gastropods were mostly detritivores, while bivalves were mostly suspension feeders. These dominant biological traits indicated oligotrophic
conditions in sediments likely coupled with an intense hydrodynamic regime in the deepsea. The NW Cuban region seems to be a hotspot for mollusk diversity because of the discovery in a single expedition of seven new species, 12 new records, and 36% endemism relative to the entire Gulf of Mexico.
Our findings revealed a complex and diverse mix of deep/pelagic/shelf species but did not indicate a west-east gradient in the mollusk assemblage structure.

Os pacientes portadores de doenças crônicas possuem dificuldades para aderir ao tratamento proposto pela equipe de saúde e, ao conhecer o perfil dessa população e suas dificuldades nesse processo pode-se traçar novas estratégias de intervenção. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo descrever as características sociodemográficas e clínicas de indivíduos com hipertensão arterial e diabetes mellitus como subsídio para o planejamento de futuras intervenções. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo, transversal e quantitativo, com usuários do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) da cidade de São José do Rio Preto/SP, Brasil, durante os anos de 2018 e 2019. Entre os 68 participantes, a maioria eram do sexo feminino (70,6%), tinham entre 60 e 69 anos (48,5%) e alfabetizados (82,4%). Dos participantes que não compreendiam as orientações médicas (n=7; 10,3%), um (1,5%) afirmou ser por dificuldades quanto ao horário e outro (1,5%) devido à ilegibilidade da letra do médico. Os demais (97%) não souberam ou não quiseram explicar o motivo. Além disso, aqueles que receberam orientações quanto ao uso de medicação, 17 (25%) responderam que receberam as informações do médico, um (1,5%) do farmacêutico, um (1,5%) por outra pessoa e 49 (72%) não especificaram. Desta maneira, conclui-se que a maioria da população não faz uso de tabaco e/ou de bebida alcóolica, não pratica atividade e/ou segue alguma dieta, comportamentos importantes para o tratamento das doenças crônicas. Grande parte dos participantes entendiam e seguiam orientações médicas o que refletiu pouca hospitalização decorrente dessas patologias durante o período do estudo.

In the present work, a new series of compounds containing 1,2,3-triazole and 2-pyrazoline moieties in the same matrix was synthesized via a multistep synthetic route. The synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, 1HNMR and 13C NMR spectra. The target compounds and their precursors were screened in vitro for their α-amylases inhibitory activity. The preliminary activity results revealed that all the tested compounds displayed an inhibition activity ranged from moderate to high depending on their structures and concentrations compared to ascorbose as a standard drug.
