Authors: Remiro Mariana , Homma Thais Kataoka
Published: January 2025

Introdução: A cetoacidose diabética (CAD) é uma complicação aguda que ocorre em pacientes diabéticos. Objetivo: Analisar o perfil clínico e epidemiológico de crianças e adolescentes admitidas com CAD em um hospital de referência regional. Material e Métodos: Estudo transversal a partir da análise de prontuários de pacientes pediátricos encaminhados para avaliação devido hiperglicemia entre 2019-2024. Considerou-se CAD a presença de hiperglicemia (≥200mg/dl), cetonemia (≥3mmol/L) e/ou cetonúria moderada (≥+2) e acidose metabólica (bicabornato <18mmol/L e/ou pH venoso <7,3). Resultados: Foram avaliadas 49 internações por hiperglicemia e identificadas 31 (63%) CAD. A maioria era do sexo feminino (59%), púbere (58%) e foi classificada como grave (n=18, 58%) devido primo-descompensação (70%, n=19) e quadro infeccioso associado (51%, n=16). Os sintomas mais referidos foram poliúria (74,2%) e polidipsia (71%). O tempo médio entre a percepção dos sintomas e o diagnóstico foi de 10 dias. Não houve correlação estatística em relação a gravidade e sexo, idade, estadio puberal ou local de moradia (urbano/rural). Pacientes em puberdade e moradores de meio rural tiveram maior taxa recorrência (P= 0,039 e P= 0,046, respectivamente). O menor tempo para o diagnóstico e a maior ocorrência de complicações esteve associada a presença de infecções (P=0,009 e P=0,03). Conclusão: Os pacientes com CAD se caracterizaram por ser do sexo feminino e púberes. A maioria foi diagnosticada com CAD grave e apresentou como sintomas poliúria e polidipsia. Pacientes em puberdade, moradores de ambiente rural e em vigência de infecção tiveram maior predisposição para recorrência e/ou maior gravidade da CAD.

Teatro e Espanhol como ferramentas de expressão
Authors: Fontoura Motta Gabriel
Published: January 2025

Este estudo[1] investiga o processo criativo do audiodrama Los Ciegos[2], desenvolvido no curso de teatro online voltado ao ensino de Espanhol como Língua Estrangeira (ELE), com alunos acima de 60 anos do programa de Maturidade Ativa “universIDADE” da Unicamp. O objetivo foi analisar como o teatro pode restaurar a criatividade e a crítica em sujeitos educados sob modelos positivistas, afetados pelo Capitalismo Cognitivo e pela perda da “sensibilidade vibrátil”. A metodologia adotou uma abordagem de “Metodologia Ativa”, integrando teatro e ensino de espanhol, com o uso de gamificação e etnografia cartográfica inspirada nos Hypomnemata de Foucault. O Teatro do Oprimido (Boal) e os Jogos Teatrais (Spolin) foram utilizados para estimular a alteridade e a criatividade em um ambiente online. A obra simbolista de Maurice Maeterlinck, “Os Cegos” (1890), foi transformada em audiodrama, com participantes que nunca haviam atuado antes, utilizando técnicas de improvisação e storytelling para processar suas próprias vivências. Os resultados indicaram transformações significativas nos participantes, incluindo maior consciência crítica em relação às fake news, desenvolvimento da criatividade, combate ao isolamento social e ao etarismo. Também foi observada a conquista da fluência em espanhol, com o teatro funcionando como uma ferramenta poderosa para a expressão de histórias pessoais e coletivas. Conclui-se que o teatro online, aliado ao ensino de línguas, promove a restauração da sensibilidade e da criatividade em sujeitos 60+, combatendo o etarismo e fomentando a criação ativa de narrativas críticas em um contexto digital. O projeto se alinha ao 4º Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável da ONU, “Educação de Qualidade”, e propõe novas formas de Educomunicação, onde o aluno é um criador ativo de conhecimento e narrativas em um mundo interconectado.

POPULATION STRUCTURES OF FOUR TREE SPECIES IN LOGGED-OVER TROPICAL FOREST IN SOUTH PAPUA, INDONESIA: AN INTEGRAL PROJECTION MODEL APPROACH
Authors: Kuswandi Relawan , Murdjoko Agustinus
Published: January 2025

Selective logging has been taking place in Papua for several decades. In contrast, very little is known about the stand structure in post-logged forest.  Hence, this paper investigates stand structures in logged-over area of tropical forest in South Papua. Four species were selected in three one-hectare permanent sample plots (PSPs): Vatica rassak, Syzygium sp, Litsea timoriana and Canarium asperum.  PSPs were located in the forest concession area of  PT. Tunas Sawaerma in Assiki, Boven Digul, in South Papua.  Data sets comprised measurements made in 2005 and 2012 consisting of  species, diameter at breast height (DBH), mortality and number of  tree of  each species.  Integral Projection Models (IPMs) were developed, taking into account mortality, growth, recruitment and fecundity.  Results show the pattern of  stand structures of  the four species were more or less similar, i.e. more individual trees were present in the small diameter classes than in the larger diameter classes.  The general pattern of  the individual distribution of  the four species is the typical reverse-J shape.  Syzygium sp. has a greater number of  individuals in the small diameter classes than the other three species.  Population growth rates (λ) are above one, indicating that the stand structures of  the population dynamics of  the four species are recuperating.  Conclusively, these results suggest that species composition and population structure in these logged-over forests are recovering increasingly.

Authors: Khirallah M.Q. , Zaki Mofida , M. Alkhomsan Asma.
Published: January 2025

In this research study, we have proposed a new eighth-order optimal method. The
new method consists of three steps: the Newton step, an optimal fourth-order iteration scheme, and a simply structured third step that improves the convergence order
up to at least eight and ensures an efficiency index of 1.682. The discussion focused
on the convergence analysis of the new method. We provide numerical examples to
illustrate the effectiveness of our proposed method by comparing it to eighth-order
numerical methods. Furthermore, we examine the complex dynamics and Attraction basins (AB), comparing them with various methods of the same order, and we
present the results in summary tables.
Are PPPs the Solution to Kenya’s Water Sector Financing Gap?
Authors: Mawia Christine Julius
Published: January 2025

This article examines the role of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) as a potential solution to the pervasive financing gap in Kenya's water sector, echoing broader challenges faced by African nations. Access to safe water services remains a critical driver of human development, yet traditional approaches have fallen short in addressing the pressing need for infrastructure financing. Drawing on extensive literature reviews and case studies from selected countries, the study delves into the benefits and challenges associated with PPPs in the water sector. The findings highlight the transformative potential of PPPs, including improved efficiency, heightened investment, risk transfer, and sustainable financing. However, significant challenges loom, encompassing transparency, accountability, user affordability, limited competition, and community participation. The article underscores the necessity of addressing these hurdles to ensure that PPPs align with community needs and overarching development objectives. The analysis asserts that PPPs are not a panacea but rather require careful structuring to safeguard public interests. Global experiences, particularly China's success in water sector PPPs, provide valuable lessons, emphasizing the importance of proactive pricing reforms and comprehensive planning. In conclusion, the article advocates for a balanced and inclusive approach to PPP implementation, prioritizing the interests of local communities and safeguarding water as a fundamental human right. The success of PPPs in the water sector hinges on their ability to promote sustainable development, enhance service delivery, and uplift communities, thus contributing to the realization of universal access to safe water.

The issue of benzo[a]pyrene and suspended particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) air pollution is one of the main topics of environmental protection in the Czech Republic. Since 2015, measures have been taken to improve air quality by targeting the main sources of these pollutants, i.e. the renewal of older types of solid fuel boilers in households. Analysis of air pollution monitoring data in small settlements from 2016 to 2023 showed that although there was a temporary deterioration in air quality in some locations due to the energy crisis, there was a long-term decline in pollutant concentrations. The results of the study confirmed the importance of replacing older types of solid fuel boilers by more modern heat sources as a potentially effective measure for improving air quality in small settlements.

The need for highly-quality data with good spatial resolution is getting urgent with ongoing climate change and the ever-increasing emphasis on the implementation of adaptation and mitigation measures. Two scenarios of potential climate development in the territory of the Czech Republic were created as part of the PERUN project, based on SSP (Shared Socioeconomic Pathways) socioeconomic scenarios. Using these scenarios, we can also get an idea of how the values of meteorological elements and associated climate indices will change in future periods, which serve us to assess the risks of these changes for nature and society. The aim of this contribution is to demonstrate the results of both scenarios and to describe the scope of these changes and the risks associated with them for the Jeseníky Mountains region.

Published: January 2025

Background: Fruits are essential dietary components but can act as vehicles for transmitting parasitic infections, particularly in areas with inadequate sanitation. We investigated the parasitic contamination of mangoes, pawpaw, and avocados grown in the National Veterinary Research Institute (NVRI) and its environs in Vom, Plateau State, Nigeria.
Methods: Overall, 150 fruit samples, comprising mangoes, pawpaw, and avocados (50 each), were randomly collected from five locations within NVRI and its environs. Samples were analyzed using the ordinary centrifugation method and iodine preparation. Data were statistically evaluated using Chi-square analysis, with a significance level set at P≤0.05.
Results: Parasitic contamination was detected in 64% of the fruit samples. Four parasite species were identified: Entamoeba histolytica (52.4%), E. coli (26.6%), Strongyloides stercoralis (20.2%), and Giardia lamblia (0.8%). Mangoes exhibited the highest contamination rate (42.7%), followed by avocados (31.5%) and pawpaw (25.8%). Among the sampling locations, the Vaccine Complex recorded the highest contamination rate (25.0%). The results revealed significant associations between fruit types, contamination rates, and location (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The findings underscore a high prevalence of parasitic contamination, indicating poor environmental hygiene and public health risks. Rigorous washing and proper handling of fruits are recommended to prevent parasitic infections. Public health education and observing strict regulations in agricultural practices are vital to mitigating these risks.

Authors: Saeed Khwaja Mir Islam , Rahat Samsor , Pardis Ajmal , Rahimi Bilal Ahmad
Published: January 2025

Background: We aimed to evaluate the acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance system focusing on indicators reflecting the performance of the system in Afghanistan.
Methods: This retrospective study was a secondary analysis of routinely collected AFP surveillance data during 2020 in Afghanistan. The standard WHO indicators were used to evaluate the AFP surveillance.
Results: Afghanistan reported 3972 AFP cases during 2020; of them 2228 (56%) were male while 2835 (71%) were children aged under five years. Of all AFP-reported cases, 56 were wild polio cases and almost half (n= 28, 50%) of them were reported among children aged 12–24 months. Almost 348 (8.8%) had taken zero doses of the vaccine both in routine and supplementary immunization activities (SIA). Approximately 83% (n=3290) had fever at the onset of the disease while 50.4% (n=2001) had asymmetric paralysis. Two southern provinces, i.e., Kandahar and Helmand, reported 30 (54%) wild polio cases. In 2020, the non-polio AFP rate was 17/100,000 in children below 15 years of age. Meanwhile 42 (75%) of wild polio cases patients received zero oral polio vaccine (OPV) through routine immunization while 24 (43%) wild polio cases received zero OPV through NID campaigns. All other indicators met the expected target except that 851 (21.4%) specimens arrived at the laboratory within 3 days and 180 (41.3%) were followed up after onset of paralysis in 60 days.
Conclusion: The AFP surveillance performed well in 2020. However, timely investigation of AFP cases and reaching the specimen to the lab should be improved.

Las guerras de la República romana. Memoria individual, memoria cultural y remediación
Authors: Cahanier Simon
Published: January 2025

Este artículo presenta los procesos por los que los romanos reconocían el valor social e identitario de un hecho, lo juzgaban digno de ser transmitido en la memoria a la posteridad a largo plazo y los medios utilizados para garantizar esta transmisión. Presenta las particularidades de la cultura de la memoria de los últimos siglos de la República romana y, en particular, la omnipresencia de los exempla. El hecho de que la ejemplaridad desempeñara un papel distintivo en el seno de la nobilitas explica la voluntad manifestada por los aristócratas romanos de hacer memoria inscribiendo su recuerdo individual de las res gestae en la memoria cultural, en particular en el contexto de las guerras romanas. El ejemplo de Catón el Viejo muestra la importancia de la remediación en este proceso: es a través de la transferencia constante de la memoria de un medio a otro como los aristócratas romanos pueden pretender hacer memoria e inscribir sus res gestae en la memoria cultural romana. El artículo concluye con la noción de crisis de la memoria, mostrando que el principado fue la ocasión de una recuperación de la memoria cultural de la República, destinada sobre todo a subrayar la novedad irreductible del régimen instaurado por el primer princeps.
