Özet

Ülke endüstrilerinin rekabet gücünün mikro ve makro çok sayıda faktör tarafından belirlendiği göz önüne alındığında, bir endüstrideki Endüstri İçi Ticaret’in (EİT) bu endüstrinin; arz-talep, ürün fiyat ve kalitesi, rekabet gibi birçok özelliğini belirlediği ve bu bağlamda endüstrinin rekabet gücünü etkilediği değerlendirilmektedir.

Amaç: Çalışmamızda, Türkiye’nin 2001-2019 yılları arasındaki dış ticaretinde EİT ile rekabet gücü arasındaki korelasyonun, HS/GTİP’nun 97 faslı bazında belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntem: Araştırmamızda endüstri-içi ticaretin derecesi Grubel-Lloyd yöntemi ile ölçülmüştür. Rekabet Gücünün ölçümünde Vollrath’ın (1991), Açıklanmış Karşılaştırmalı Üstünlükler (AKÜ) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. EİT ile rekabet gücü arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesinde, korelasyon analizi ve panel veri analizi kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: EİT ile rekabet gücü arasında 27 fasılda çok yüksek pozitif ve 24 fasılda çok yüksek negatif korelasyon ilişkisi belirlenmiştir. 24 Fasılda da yüksek pozitif, 6 fasılda yüksek negatif korelasyon belirlenmiştir. Bulgular çerçevesinde EİT ve rekabet gücü arasında fasıllara göre değişen yüksek veya çok yüksek korelasyonun olduğu ifade edilebilir. Çalışmadaki Panel Veri Analizi sonuçlarının da Korelasyon Analizi sonuçları ile uyumlu olduğu gözlenmiştir.

Özgünlük: Türkiye için özgün olan bu çalışma ve sonuçlarının ileriye taşınması ve iktisat, kalkınma, sanayileşme ve dış ticaret politikalarında yol gösterici sonuçların üretilmesinin faydalı olacağı değerlendirilmektedir.

Authors:   , Silva Antônio Júlio Medina da
Published: June 2022

O manejo inadequado de plantas daninhas têm promovido a seleção de biótipos resistentes a diferentes herbicidas. A rotação de mecanismos de ação tem sido uma das principais alternativas para reduzir esse problema. O uso de herbicidas residuais tem sido opção ao controle de banco de sementes de várias espécies, além da ação pós-emergente. Entre os produtos para controle eficiente de plantas daninhas eudicotiledôneas, tolerantes ou que já adquiriram resistência a outros herbicidas, destaca-se o triclopyr. Contudo, o conhecimento das interações entre solo e herbicida é necessário para a eficiência de uso do triclopyr, visando a diminuição dos problema de carryover e contaminação ambiental. Nesta pesquisa, ensaios biológicos foram realizados para compreender o comportamento deste herbicida ao longo do perfil de diferentes solos com atributos distintos. Além disso, foi feita a seleção de uma espécie bioindicadora que melhor representasse a presença do triclopyr no solo se destacando feijão (Phaseolus vulgaris), pepino (Cucumis sativus) e soja (Glycine max). Para estimar a sorção, foram utilizadas amostras dos horizontes A, B e C de um Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo, sendo o pepino a espécie indicadora usada para detectar a presença do herbicida no solo. Utilizando este mesmo solo e espécie indicadora, foi realizado o estudo de persistência nos horizontes com fins de entender possíveis riscos de contaminação ambiental. Do ponto de vista agronômico, outro ensaio de persistência foi conduzido utilizando amostras do horizonte A de dois Latossolos Vermelho-Amarelos e um Argissolo Vermelho-Amarelo com diferentes atributos, sendo também utilizadas a soja (Glycine max) e o algodão (Gossypium hirsutum) como espécies indicadoras. Constatou-se valores distintos da sorção e persistência do triclopyr nas amostras dos diferentes horizontes. Concluiu-se que a disponibilidade do herbicida na solução do solo e a sua persistência foram maiores nos horizontes B e C nestes solos. Isto indica maior risco de contaminação ambiental e carryover nas culturas quando aplicado em solos que têm baixa capacidade de reter este herbicida na camada superficial, pois nos horizontes mais profundos o triclopyr é mais persistente e menos retido pelos coloides do solo. Palavras-chave: Herbicida. Ácido 3,5,6-tricloro-2-piridiloxiacético. Impacto ambiental. Método biológico. Carryover.

SHPEP and NAAHP: An Ongoing Partnership To Increase Diversity in the Health Professions
Authors: Mancuso Antonio J.
Published: June 2022

The Summer Health Professions Education Program (SHPEP), a grant-funded initiative by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), is a free six-week summer enrichment program for college freshman and sophomore students interested in the health professions. Since its first cohort of scholars in 1989, SHPEP has impacted the lives of more than 30,000 pre-health students. With direction and technical assistance provided by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the American Dental Education Association (ADEA), SHPEP exposes students to a range of health professions because it is imperative for health professionals to know how to learn and work together across disciplines to help build a culture of health. The aims of SHPEP and pre-health advisors are aligned—focused on preparing students from underrepresented communities for matriculation to health professions schools. Pre-health advisors also serve as the top referral source of applicants for SHPEP. Through a partnership with the NAAHP, the SHPEP National Program Office (NPO) has developed resources pre-health advisors can leverage to support their work and advisees. The programmatic overview summarizes SHPEP’s application logistics, resources created for pre-health advisors that support DEI initiatives, and the relationship between the SHPEP NPO and NAAHP.

Authors: Ogada Kennedy , Rono Walter , Mose Thomas
Published: June 2022

Purpose: The goal of this research was to develop a model for the impact of several factors on OTT adoption in Kenya.

Materials and Methods: This study employed an explanatory research technique. The target population for this study was limited to 23076 subscribers, who were the active subscribers of Viusasa as of December 2018. Simple random sampling was used to sample form the target population. Data collection was done through a structured questionnaire, which was both in soft and hard copy. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS v25.0) was utilized to analyze the responses received from the questionnaire. The study generated and used averages, frequencies, and percentages to present the analysis.

Results: The findings revealed that individual factors (β=0.326, p=0.000), technological factors (β=0.268, p=0.000), organizational factors (users) (β=0.166, p=0.000) and environmental factors (users) (β=0.270, p=0.000) have a positive and significant relationship with the adoption of OTTs in Kenya. Pay TV providers and broadcasting stations that are providing or purpose to provide OTT services to focus on the key individual factors that lead to the adoption of OTT services. Based on the multiple regression findings, the null hypotheses were rejected since the P values were less than 0.05 and thus, there is a significant effect individual factors, technological factors, organizational factors and environmental factors on the adoption of OTT services in Kenya is not statistically significant.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study findings indicate that the theory of diffusion is applicable to the study of factors influencing the adoption of OTT. Pay TV providers and broadcasting stations that were providing or purposed to provide OTT services are encouraged to focus on the key individual factors that lead to the adoption of OTT services. The understandings assisted on the providers improving their relationship with the users and have a bigger market even in terms of the customer base. Telecom operators in Kenya are encouraged to develop competitive OTT services to gain a competitive advantage over the present OTTs’ players.

Authors: Husin Putri Alfiana
Published: June 2022

Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) memiliki peran yang penting dan UMKM juga berperan dalam, pemerataan hasil pembangunan di Indonesia sendiri. Namun sayangnya para pelaku UMKM belum memakai siklus akuntansi sebagai pencatatan ataupun pengelolaan keuangan mereka, padahal keuangan di UMKM sendiri adalah sesuatu yang sangat penting dan fatal jika pengelolaannya tidak baik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dimana peneliti menggunakan responden untuk sumber data lalu untuk menganalisis data dari penelitian menggunakan analisis deskriptif dimana untuk menginterpretasi menggunakan kategori persentase. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa masih banyak pelaku UMKM yang belum menggunakan siklus akuntansi sendiri dikarenakan beberapa faktor. Disisi lain yang menggunakan siklus akuntansi kebanyakan pelaku UMKM hanya berhenti di transaksi. Meskipun belum menerapkannya secara lengkap setidaknya sudah memulai siklus akuntansi yang pertama. Pelaku UMKM seharusnya sadar bahwa akuntansi sangat membantu pengelolaan keuangan dan sebaiknya pelaku UMKM mengikuti pelatihan atau membaca buku mengenai akuntansi untuk UMKM agar menambah pengetahuan dan pengalaman tentang akuntansi.

Health Status and Economic Growth in Kenya
Authors: Misango Kelvin Mutira
Published: June 2022

Economic growth is important as it measures the prosperity of a nation which indeed increases the output per person and factors like human capital, physical capital and technological change which are the main drivers towards achieving economic growth.  Kenya’s Vision projected an economic growth rate of 10 per cent per annum from 2008 to 2030 which has not been achieved to date. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of health status on economic growth in Kenya. The specific objectives of the study were to determine the effect of: nutrition status and life expectancy on economic growth in Kenya. The study adopted the endogenous growth theory and incorporated key health status into the model as a function of human capital. Research design employed was explanatory research design and relied on secondary data from World Bank from 1985 to 2018. Applying regression model, the results revealed that coefficient of life expectancy was 1.1556,  which was positive and significant at 5 percent level. This implied that for every one percent increase in coefficient of life expectancy, GDP growth rate could increase by 1.1556 percent. Coefficient of nutrition status was -1.143,  which was negative and insignificant at 5 percent level. This implied that for every one percent increase in coefficient of nutrition status, GDP growth rate would fall by 1.143 percent. Considering that increased life expectancy had direct effect on increase in economic growth rate, Kenya government could put in place policies promoting citizen’s health. Suitable social sector policies and government interventions are required to increase life expectancy and consequently economic growth rate. Further, there is also a need for involvement of health human force in macro and micro policy-makings and critically examine other determinant of health care expenditure

One of the most honorable and distinguished sciences is the Holy Quran science; as it is from God and the correct, frequent, compiled recitation. Who preserved Arabic in its performance, pronunciation, sounds, morphology, and the like. It has always remained the focus of scholars’ attention in reading, memorizing, reciting, drawing, controlling, understanding and deducing legal and linguistic rulings. There is no doubt that Quranic readings are the most important sources of language studies since it is full of multiple rhetoric styles and phonological, morphological and contextual phenomena. The odd Quranic readings are no less important than the rest of the correct Quranic readings, even though they have lost one of the conditions for correct reading. The scholars have paid great attention to them, structuring and directing what they contain of rich material worthy of study and many and varied evidence on linguistic phenomena in their various forms. The purpose of the study is to investigate in important phenomenon in the Arabic language in general which is assimilation phenomenon, and studying it through one of the most important readings, it is Al-yazidi reading one of the four reading exceeding the tenth readings, where his assimilations came as those in the correct seventh readings. The study approach is detecting all the assimilations positions in this reading phonetically and analytically with consentient modern language science in an attempt to explain its precise phonetic laws that govern the interaction of adjacent sounds with each other in order to bring about a kind of symmetry and vocal harmony between them. Then follow the opinions of the grammarians in these diphthongs in an attempt to find out the extent of their agreement or disagreement with the rules and standards of the grammarians.

DIGITAL MONEY: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES
Authors: SEBTI Raja
Published: June 2022

Many parallel currencies have always circulated alongside the official currency. Today, a new generation of money is emerging from new technologies: “crypto-currencies”, the best known example of which is bitcoin. Although they constitute a remarkable technological advance, they raise many ethical and economic challenges, which this article tries to shed light on. These assets could eventually become new means of payment, or even units of account, thus reducing the demand for fiat currencies or central bank money. However, crypto-assets are too unstable and risky to really threaten fiat currencies. In this context, a group of leading economists and central bankers wondered whether advances in computing would make central banks obsolete. The digital age means new challenges, but also new opportunities for central banks. The motives for issuing an MDBC would therefore be to provide the public with a dematerialized monetary instrument without liquidity or credit risk that is resilient and easy to access, to curb the growth of crypto-assets and preserve monetary sovereignty. Key words: Digital Currency, Crypto-Currency, Central Bank, Sovereignty, Monetary Policy.
IDIOMATIC EXPRESSIONS IN TRANSLATION: EXAMPLES FROM KALILA WA DIMNA
Authors: El KHARRAZ Amina
Published: June 2022

In literary production every language has its expressions, its particular turns; to translate them grammars and even dictionaries offer little recourse. And since there are no texts that do not present such idioms, Kalila wa Dimna is rich in them. So the task of the translator, already arduous, increases each time he encounters one. Especially since the Arabic language abounds in turns of phrase which, if they give it its flavor, do not fail to surprise. So how are these idiomatic constructions represented? How can we transpose images through them? And how can they give counter meaning in translation?. Key words: Literary Translation, Idiomatic Construction, Arabic, French, Misinterpretation.

Published: June 2022

Agriculture and global warming are correlated with each other, particularly, it may affect nutrient cycles, microbial activities, and physiological activities of the crops. Agricultural development plays a crucial role in the growth of the economy of developing countries. The agriculture sector is a major source of employment in most of the developing countries. Over the year, there were changes and productivity loss due to the abiotic stresses and imbalance of nutrients of the plants. A continuous increase in temperature may affect the yields of crops up to 17%. Each plant has different characteristics in growth and some plants are susceptible to high temperature, some are quite the opposite. A Brassica Juncea L. belongs to a mustard family Brassicaceae or Cruciferae that are susceptible to high temperature. So, in this work, an attempt has been made for Brassica Juncea L. to grow and yield under temperature stress by controlling the temperature with the use of the Internet of Things (IoT). The experiment has been conducted where Brassica Juncea neither production nor consumption. IoT sensors are used to monitor the temperature and humidity in two different scenarios. This paper analyses the factors that affect the growth of Brassica Juncea and provide a solution to increase productivity.

Published: June 2022

Purpose: The purpose of this review is to synthesize evidence regarding the implementation of intergenerational programs with a specific emphasis on toddler age groups of children and their direct interaction and outcomes measurement with individuals residing in long term care facilities with progressive advancing dementia. Methods: Articles chosen for this review were examined for the effects of intergenerational therapy programs for elderly patients with dementia and children from infancy up until kindergarten. Eligibility criteria included research published in the English language, between 1980 to the present, nursing home-based elderly population, and children up to five years of age. Results: Positive themes included improved cognition, relationships, and positive affect. Gratification, improved cognitive functioning and relationships, and overall improvement in psychosocial status were also identified. Statistical significance was identified among improved stress levels using the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Negative outcomes identified across studies included feelings of fatigue, frustration, and an unwillingness to participate for unidentified reasons. Conclusion: Advancing life expectancy predisposes our population for a heightened occurrence of dementia diagnoses, with concerns for both physical and mental illnesses. Continued research in this population to include novel methodologies to prevent many of these fatal comorbidities is critically indicated. Emerging trends appear to be moving away from traditional pharmacotherapeutic measures, with a shift toward safer, most cost-effective cognitive and behavioral approaches. Intergenerational programs could potentially serve as an alternative therapy which could provide improvements on quality of life among our elderly residents with dementia residing in long term care facilities.

Published: June 2022

Cyanoacrylate adhesives (“superglues”) are mainly used in households. They undergo a rapid anionic polymerisation after application and form a hard solid mass. We report a case of a 4-year-old girl who applied a random cyanoacrylate glue to her nose. The glue was successfully removed under general anaesthesia by gentle dissection using Freer raspatory without causing any damage to the nasal mucosa. To the best of our knowledge, only 3 cases of cyanoacrylate intranasal instillation have been published in the literature so far. The case study suggests an algorithm to guide ENT and paediatric clinicians in the future management of this type of unusual “superglue” injury in the ENT region. Key words cyanoacrylate glue – foreign body – superglue removal – management algorithm

Impact of Remittance Inflow on Foreign Import in Nepal
Authors: Rajbanshi Bijendra
Published: June 2022

Nepal is the top country in Asia to receive remittance from foreign countries. Since the 1990s, there has been a tremendous increment in the remittance inflow in Nepal. It is not an exaggeration to say that by and large, the Nepalese economy has been supported by the remittance that it received from foreign countries. But unfortunately, this remittance has not played any significant role in the development of Nepal. The major portion of this remittance is spent on importing merchandise from foreign countries. It is therefore a pertinent question, is there any empirical relationship between remittance received and import of merchandise? The researcher has tried to find out this through econometric modeling. For this, time-series data of 26 years from 1993 to 2018 have been analyzed. From this analysis, it has been found that there is a significant impact of remittance on imports in Nepal.

This research provided the positioning of additive manufacturing technology, including the manufacturing perspective on business models, frameworks of adoption, and strategies for implementation. A multiple-case study was conducted at manufacturing firms in two countries from various industries that adopted 3D printing. Data were collected using desk research, questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, member checking, and company documents, which provided insights into how adopting additive manufacturing technology was adopted and impacted their business models. Christensen’s Theory of Disruptive Innovation was applied as a conceptual framework. The findings of this study help companies to integrate additive manufacturing technology into their business models. Additionally, this study may assist in harnessing the full potential of 3D printing by thinking beyond prototyping and understanding how this technology can benefit their business and what it means for production.

Introdução: A gravidez ectópica (GE) é aquela em que o blastocisto é implantado e se desenvolve fora da cavidade uterina, frequentemente na tuba uterina, representando 90% a 95% dos casos. Apresenta elevada morbimortalidade, estando relacionada a síndromes hemorrágicas na gravidez. Objetivo: Revisar a literatura a respeito da associação do uso do Dispositivo Intrauterino (DIU) com a gravidez ectópica entre os anos de 2012 e 2021. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e retrospectiva. Foram pesquisados artigos completos publicados entre 2017 a 2022, escritos nos idiomas inglês, que associam ou refutam a associação do uso de DIU com o desenvolvimento de gravidez ectópica. Foram utilizadas as seguintes bases de dados: U. S. National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) e Research Gate, utilizando-se os descritores: “Dispositivo Intrauterino (DIU)”, “Gravidez Ectópica” e “Fatores de Risco”. Resultados: Após avaliação dos trabalhos publicados, foram selecionados 3 artigos para embasamento do trabalho. No estudo de Graner et al. (2019) foram incluídas mulheres que faziam uso de DIU e foram diagnosticadas com GE. Identificou-se 35 casos de GE em mulheres com DIU de levonorgestrel (13,5mg) em 18488 mulheres-ano expostas e 13 casos de mulheres com DIU de levonorgestrel (52mg) em 50246 mulheres-ano expostas. Heinemann et al. (2015) relataram 118 falhas contraceptivas, ao avaliá-las, 21 foram ectópicas, em 61448 mulheres que utilizavam DIU. Um outro estudo de caso controle foi realizado pelo mesmo grupo, utilizando-se da mesma metodologia. Após exclusão de pacientes com histórico médico incompleto, ficaram 181, 184 e 189 no grupo de GE, gestação intrauterina e não gestantes respectivamente. Do grupo de GE, 163 tiveram apenas 1 GE prévia, 15 tiveram 2 e 3 tiveram 3. Do grupo de gestação intrauterina, 3 apresentaram 2 GEs prévias e 16 do grupo não gestantes tiveram 2 GEs depois. Conclusão: Pode-se concluir, com base na análise dos estudos, que, mesmo o DIU sendo um método contraceptivo eficiente, o seu uso pode aumentar as chances de uma gravidez ectópica. Portanto, é importante que as mulheres sejam devidamente informadas da existência desse risco ao optar pelo uso como método de contracepção.

Introdução: Caracterizada como um problema de saúde pública no Brasil, a Hanseníase, doença infectocontagiosa crônica causada pelo Mycobacterium leprae, é alvo de estudos, principalmente no que diz respeito ao seu perfil epidemiológico. Objetivos: Descrever os aspectos epidemiológicos da Hanseníase no Brasil no período de 2010 a 2020. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica na base de dados SciELO com os descritores “Doença Infectocontagiosa”, “Hanseníase”, “Mycobacterium leprae” e “Vigilância Epidemiológica”. Foram incluídos trabalhos científicos da língua portuguesa dos últimos dez anos e excluídos artigos que não abordassem diretamente o tema. Resultados: Após o advento do tratamento da Hanseníase com a poliquimioterapia, a situação epidemiológica da doença sofreu grandes alterações. A doença que antes tinha altos coeficientes de prevalência e incidência, desde 2017 sofreu queda da prevalência, principalmente nos anos 2019 e 2020, havendo variações nessas taxas de acordo com a região estudada. Apesar disso, os valores de incidência mantiveram-se altos, o que somado à redução da prevalência reflete a eficácia da poliquimioterapia, mas também demonstra a necessidade de se intensificar a vigilância ativa dos contactantes para reduzir a taxa de transmissão. O perfil epidemiológico traçado pelas pesquisas entre 2010 e 2020, revelou um predomínio da doença em indivíduos do gênero masculino, cor parda, analfabetos ou indivíduos com ensino fundamental incompleto, e faixa etária entre 30 e 39 anos, sendo a forma clínica dimorfa a mais prevalente entre os doentes. Conclusão: A incidência de casos de Hanseníase no Brasil foi alta nos anos estudados e as suas características epidemiológicas demonstraram uma grande relação da doença com determinantes sociais, sendo de suma importância o incentivo aos estudos epidemiológicos de cada região brasileira, respeitando suas características, visando a criação de estratégias adequadas ao perfil epidemiológico de cada região do país com o intuito de reduzir a taxas de transmissão da doença.

INTRODUÇÃO. A dengue é um agravo de alta incidência no Brasil, tendo sido registrado, em 2019, 735.2 casos/100.000 habitantes. Além disto, a doença em curso contribui para a perda de anos saudáveis de vida, pois atinge um grande número de pessoas de todas as faixas etárias, podendo gerar incapacidade durante a infecção, inclusive levando até a morte. OBJETIVO. Descrever a ocorrência de internação hospitalar por dengue no Ceará. METODOLOGIA. Estudo transversal, quantitativo. Foi realizado em março/2022. A população e amostra constituiu-se dos casos notificados de dengue no banco de dados do DATASUS registrados entre 2018-2021. Foram respeitados os aspectos éticos contidos na Declaração de Helsinki. RESULTADOS. Os dados registrados demonstraram dentre 2018 a 2021, foram notificadas 3.394 internações hospitalares por dengue. Destes, 135 foram em menores de 1 ano, 1.225 estavam na faixa etária de 1 – 14 anos, 425 tinham entre 15-19 anos, 1.060 entre 20-39 anos, 719 entre 40 – 59 anos e 428 tinham acima de 60 anos. Observa-se que a faixa etária com maior número de internados é de crianças e pré-adolescentes (1-14 anos), adultos jovens (20-39 anos) e adultos (40-59 anos). O menor número de hospitalização por dengue ocorreu entre os idosos. CONCLUSÃO. A dengue é uma doença de grande importância na saúde pública, pois ocorre em todas as faixas etárias. Percebe-se que a população infanto-juvenil apresenta maior morbidade em relação a doença, levando-as a internação hospitalar. Deve-se elaborar medidas de enfrentamento especificas para esta população e seus responsáveis, como por exemplo educação em saúde nas escolas.
COVID-19 X GRUPO SANGUINEO: GRAVIDADES E CORRELAÇÕES
Authors: Olguin Pedro Rocha

Introdução: Nesta investigação, foram considerados grupos de indivíduos chineses com tipos sanguíneos conhecidos, que receberam diagnóstico de COVID-19 e que foram hospitalizados ou receberam alta do hospital de Changsha entre 20 de janeiro de 2020 e 5 de março de 2020. O grupo controle consistia em todos os pacientes chineses não contaminados pela COVID-19 com determinados tipos de sangue que foram hospitalizados entre janeiro de 2019 e fevereiro de 2020. O objeto de análise foi estudo realizado com 187 pacientes com COVID-19 e foi encontrada uma correlação entre a distribuição do grupo sanguíneo ABO e febre. Objetivos: A partir da revisão dos artigos é importante salientar que o presente estudo trata de aspectos relevantes acerca da relação entre a COVID 19 e os grupos sanguíneos, em virtude de estudos recentes realizados no ano de 2020 que atestaram correlações importantes que possam auxiliar na identificação da infecção, sua gravidade e decesso Material e Métodos: Trata-se de revisão bibliográfica de artigos obtidos pela plataforma PubMed. Foi realizada um pesquisa online com o auxílio de computador e internet, com base em bancos de dados abrangendo o tema “Covid19”, “Coronavírus” e “Vacinas”, “grupo sanguíneo” e “ABO”. Resultados: As diferenças na expressão de antígenos dos grupos sanguíneos no sistema ABO podem aumentar ou diminuir a suscetibilidade do hospedeiro a muitas infecções. Os antígenos do grupo sanguíneo podem desempenhar um papel direto na infecção, servindo como receptores e / ou correceptores para microrganismos, parasitas e vírus, podendo modificar a resposta imune e inata à infecção. Além disso, muitos antígenos de grupo sanguíneo facilitam a captação intracelular, a transdução de sinal ou a adesão celular por meio da organização de microdomínios de membrana. Conclusão: O grupo sanguíneo A estava relacionado a um risco aumentado de Infecção por COVID-19 em comparação com o grupo sanguíneo não A. Além disso, as pessoas com sangue do tipo O foram relacionadas a um risco reduzido de infecção por COVID-19 em comparação com o tipo de sangue não O.
