Published: October 2024

This study compared the outcomes of two modalities of hepatectomies for the treatment of colorectal liver metastasis. The research is justified by the high morbidity and mortality associated with hepatic surgical interventions, as these require a delicate approach and intricate techniques, posing a challenge in the surgical field. The aim was to highlight the operative technique with greater efficacy, outlining its associated benefits and risks, in order to identify the definitively superior aspects within the literature among the analyzed modalities. The methodology involved a literature review of 46 articles, written in Portuguese and English, available in various databases from 2019 to 2024. The results indicated that ALPPS had limited advantages compared to HDE, demonstrating greater surgical efficacy, while the rates of perioperative complications and short-term outcomes were comparable between the two techniques, with no evidence of differences in reducing morbidity and mortality. Conversely, there were discrepancies in determining the overall survival rates between the two techniques, underscoring the need for further studies on the topic and the exploration of less invasive methods with lower rates of surgical morbidity and mortality.

Introdução: A deficiência estrogênica na pós-menopausa acontece em mulheres, entre 49 e 52 anos e é considerada fator relevante na etiopatogenia da doença arterial coronariana (DAC), pois o estrogênio possui um efeito protetor no sistema cardiovascular. Devido a isto, ressalta-se a necessidade de fazer o rastreio das mulheres que estão passando pela transição menopausal. Para tanto a tomografia coronariana figura no arsenal diagnóstico, tendo começado a ser utilizada como método de investigação de DAC há 20 anos. Com esta técnica, é possível excluir ou detectar a presença de placas ateroscleróticas mesmo quando em estágios subclínicos, um ponto importante para calcular o risco cardiovascular em estágios iniciais. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, documental, descritivo e retrospectivo de corte transversal, realizado em Aracaju, Sergipe, Brasil, por meio da avaliação de laudos das tomografias de pacientes de demanda espontânea, sendo 210 angiotomografias e 219 tomografias para escore de cálcio, no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2023, destes incluídos os 125 pacientes do sexo feminino. Resultados: As 125 pacientes foram divididas num ponto de corte de 50 anos para atribuir o fator menopausa. Destas, 21 (16,8%) tinham menos de 50 anos e 104 (83,2%) 50 anos ou mais. Observou-se presença de calcificação coronariana em 41,32% das pacientes, sempre nas mais velhas, assim como redução do lúmen arterial em 10,43% das pacientes, destas 5,56% estavam abaixo dos 50 anos e 11,34% com mais de 50 anos (p= 0,001). Conclusão: Há uma relação entre a idade e o desenvolvimento de calcificações nas artérias coronárias. Além disso, observou-se que não apenas a presença como também a severidade das calcificações é maior em pacientes com 50 anos ou mais.

Fenómeno religioso y apertura de la persona en la perspectiva de Edith Stein
Authors: Sanchez Muñoz Ruben
Published: October 2024

En su obra de 1918 Psychische Kausalität después de describir la vivencia del “estado de reposo en Dios”, Edith Stein dice que el “único presupuesto para semejante renacimiento espiritual parece ser cierta capacidad receptiva”. El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar esta “capacidad receptiva” de la persona y el modo como se relaciona con la vida interior y con el ánimo o Gemüt que Stein explora en otras obras como son Der Aufbau der menslichen Person (1932/33), Potenz und Akt (1932) y Enliches und ewiges Sein (1936). Esta capacidad receptiva a su vez, como vamos a ver, se funda en la apertura hacia dentro de la persona, apertura que le permite ganar grados cada vez más profundos del conocimiento de sí misma. En este sentido, lo que se muestra en este trabajo es la relación que hay entre la vivencia religiosa y el alma de la persona.

This systematic review examines the transformative role of AI-driven models in credit scoring, highlighting their advances over traditional statistical methods in terms of predictive accuracy, adaptability, and inclusivity. By synthesizing findings from 70 studies, this review demonstrates that machine learning techniques, particularly ensemble models such as random forests and gradient boosting, effectively capture complex, non-linear relationships in borrower data, providing more accurate risk assessments across diverse demographics. Deep learning models, especially convolutional and recurrent neural networks, extend credit scoring capabilities to unstructured and alternative data sources, supporting financial inclusion by enabling assessments of individuals without traditional credit histories. Hybrid models that integrate logistic regression with neural networks offer an optimal balance between interpretability and predictive power, addressing regulatory demands for transparency while maintaining robust accuracy. Ensemble techniques like stacking and blending enhance model adaptability, allowing credit scoring systems to integrate multiple perspectives and improve prediction accuracy in varied borrower contexts. Despite these advancements, challenges remain in the form of ethical concerns and the need for model interpretability, particularly with complex deep-learning architectures. The review underscores the importance of developing fairness-aware and explainable AI frameworks to ensure that as AI-driven credit scoring evolves, it remains both transparent and equitable. These insights suggest that with careful attention to ethics and transparency, AI has the potential to create a more inclusive and resilient credit scoring landscape, accommodating the needs of an increasingly diverse global population.

Published: October 2024

Pulmonary hypertension is a common complication of sickle cell disease associated with hemolysis, impaired bioavailability of nitric oxide, and high mortality. The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of selective pulmonary vasodilators and antiproliferative drugs in this risk group. Materials and methods. After optimizing sickle cell therapy to stabilize fetal hemoglobin levels, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of sildenafil in 9 patients with sickle cell disease and pulmonary hypertension. Results. Sildenafil therapy (mean duration 6 ± 1 month) reduced estimated pulmonary systolic pressure [50 ± 4-41 ± 3 mmHg; 9 mmHg difference, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.3-17, P = 0.043] and increased the 6-minute walking distance (384 ± 30 to 462 ± 28 m; 78 m difference, 95% CI: 40-117, P = 0.0012). Transient headaches were observed in two patients and transient eyelid edema in four patients. The three men in the study did not have any episodes of priapism. Two of them received chronic exchange transfusions, and one had erectile dysfunction. Conclusions. Patients with sickle cell disease and pulmonary hypertension have significant limitations in physical activity. Walking for 6 minutes may be a valid endpoint in this population. Sildenafil therapy is safe and improves pulmonary hypertension and physical performance. Additional phase I studies in men with sickle cell disease are needed, followed by a placebo-controlled phase II/III to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sildenafil therapy in patients with sickle cell disease and pulmonary hypertension.

Authors: Gomes Jorge Luiz dos Santos
Published: October 2024

This study aimed to morphometric characterization of the watershed of the Todos os Santos River (TSR), located in the northeast of Minas Gerais in Brazil. The Todos os Santos River is one of the most important tributaries of the Mucuri River in the Mucuri Valley. Based on the digital elevation model, known as SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) the data were processed in open software to obtain the slope, elevations and aspect values, in addition to delineate the watershed and extracting the streams, which presented through maps, tables and graphs. Furthermore, the whole proceed data were reclassified in a new data range (called classes) according to different criteria for each type of data. The TSR basin has an altimetric amplitude of 830m. The biggest elevation area is class 3 (range: 300 to 400m) with 604.78 km², that represents 27.53% of the total area of the watershed. The most predominant slope is undulating relief, corresponding 49.67% (1091 km²) of the TSR watershed total area. About the aspects (slope orientation) there is trend direction to NE-SW but, the distribution of the aspect classes throughout the river basin showing a balance in the distribution of the slope directions. The results also indicated that the headwaters of the TSR have a higher slope variation after this point, the river shows uniformity behavior. The results accomplished may serve as a guide for other works in the TSR watershed and similar regions.

Published: October 2024

Knowing the characteristics of water bodies, especially those that directly attend the population, is essential to maintain parameters of water quality. Antropic action and soil properties directly interfere in the quality of water bodies. In order to recognize and identify water quality, the Minas Gerais Water Management Institute evaluates 9 parameters that, analyzed, give rise to the Water Quality Index, which translates in an objective way to the authorities and public the influence of development processes on the environmental dynamics of aquatic environments (IGAM, 2017). Based on this, this study seeks to compare information from the IQA of the Mucuri River Basin with the use and occupation of soil in this region, in order to identify the influence of soil use on water quality. It was observed better values of IQA for regions near forest areas and a negative impact on the IQA caused by the presence of the main urban center of the Mucuri Basin.

Published: October 2024

The present work had as main objective to associate the water flow rates found in tubular wells with the geological formations in the municipality of Teófilo Otoni in Brazil. This study focused on the identification of lithological formation at the well sites and whether the presence or absence of water in them is influenced by them. For this, data were collected from all tubular wells registered in the Groundwater Information System (SIAGAS) in the study area. This system is a database with all available information about groundwater wells collected in Brazil. In total, 200 data were found in the system, 74 from tubular wells, 117 from spring, 7 from excavated wells (cacimba/cistern) and 2 from monitoring wells. However, only 53 wells identified in the fissural system in the study area had flow data, static and dynamic levels. Those wells that lacked information about geological formation were analyzed together with geological maps. The results achieved that the Tumiritinga, Tonalito São Vitor and Granito Criciúma formations obtained the best well flow averages after stabilization, respectively with the values of 19.78, 18.58 and 17.36 m³/h. Wells 55 and 63 had the highest flow rates. It was noted that both were close to small lagoons that may be contributing to the maintenance of their recharge.

Authors: Matos Alice Rodrigues de , Lopes Michele Lima , Costa Alexandre Sylvio Vieira da
Published: October 2024

The issue of water consumption in Brazil has been increasingly valued as it reduces its availability and quality. The National Sanitation Information System is considered a relevant database with registered information and indicators. Governador Valadares is a municipality located in the Rio Doce basin that suffered from the breach of the bottom dam in November 2015. Teófilo Otoni has Rio de Todos os Santos as the main responsible for the city's water supply. The objective of this work was to identify from the SNIS data or the panorama of water consumption between 2013 and 2017, how to compare the population served with water consumption, the volume produced and the volume treated by the ETAs, or the micro-measured volume with an amount of active residential use of micro-measured water, and the volume of daily water consumption per capita with the reality of each municipality. As statistics shown in the municipality of Governador Valadares show an increase in its total population, also having an increase in the population served with water consumption by SAAE, they had a decrease in water consumption per inhabitant / day from 2015, which coincide with the year of the Fundão dam rupture. Teófilo Otoni also showed a population increase, but COPASA did not keep up with this increase, it showed a reduction in the total population served by him, but there was an increase in the number of years of water consumption per inhabitant / day.

Published: October 2024

At the moment when new sketches of South American phytogeographic regions and morphoclimatic domains are frequently produced, the relevance of a review of the origin and evolution process of one of the most important geosystems of brazilian biodiversity is imminent: the Fields of Serra Espinhaço. This is because despite being within the most complex and biodiverse are also among the most endangered on the planet, either due to degrading activities in their region of occurrence, or the impact of climate change on the dynamics of functional of the ecosystem. In this sense, the objective of this paper is to review the process of origin and phytogeographic evolution of the Serra do Espinhaço Rupestrian Fields, in order to understand how these ecosystems emerged in the context of the Quaternary period, as they were established during the climate changes of the Holocene and Pleistocene, what are the current vegetation characteristics that can contribute to the understanding of this paleoecological dynamics and consequently of the evolutionary history of the Rupestrian Fields species. From the reading of the available works about the Rupestres Fields it is possible to assume that they represent a relictual vegetation, whose process of establishment took place throughout the Quaternary, however one cannot also rule out the influence of even older events in the process of origin of the Rupestrian Fields. Such complexity in geosystemic dynamics presupposes complex conservation models of this ecosystem, considering the contribution of each piece of this complex puzzle to define the best strategies for maintaining the functional balance of vegetation.

Authors: Sousa Gisele Monteiro de , Oliveira Karina Rodrigues , Gomes Antônio Jorge de Lima
Published: October 2024

This work analyzed the variations in the compressive strengths of colored concrete through the elaboration, manufacture and breaking of 18 proof bodies incorporated with pigments based on red iron oxide in the mixture, considering the presence of biotite in the aggregates present in the geological formation in the city Teófilo Otoni in state of the Minas Gerais. Colored concrete is not diffused in civil construction in the region and differs from conventional concrete, as it does not require the application of coating, being a type of exposed concrete. We used three types of concrete (T1, T2 and T3) and were defined with theoretical compressive strengths (fck) of 18 MPa, 25 MPa and 40 Mpa. Percentages of 0%, 3% and 6% iron oxide pigments were added to the mixture of 18 proof bodies and the compressive strengths were tested at 9 and 28 days. The most relevant result was T3P3 with 3% pigment, which obtained a resistance of 38.25 MPa for a theoretical fck of 40 MPa. The recommended percentage for addition to the concrete mixture in the Teófilo Otoni region is 3% of colored inorganic additives, as the experimental values obtained are close to the theoretical compressive strength expected at 28 days, being 15.83 MPa for fck 18 MPa, 12.74 MPa for the fck 25 MPa and 38.25 MPa for the fck 40 MPa.
Financial speculation as an investment alternative for rural producers
Authors: Silva Bruno Ferreira Campos da , Tarrillo Carlos Alberto Mirez
Published: October 2024

This article presents the theory that involves the Black - Scholes and Binomial models as an investment alternative for rural producers. When doing a study on these producers, it is noticed that production in the field is directed to subsistence. New investment alternatives, through mathematical models in the pricing of options in the financial markets, are necessary not only to increase investment in the rural environment, but also to be another way to get income. Given the uncertainty scenarios it is possible to conclude that, if the rural producer uses the models for a scenario where there is a great variation in the volatility of the commodities, the ideal is to use the Binomial model that presents better results. If the scenario is with a variation in the interest rate prevailing in the market then it is favorable to use the Black - Scholes model.

Processmodell for utforskende praksis – barn som medskapere
Authors: Bernsen Anette Sofie , Thoresen Elin
Published: October 2024

Artikkelen utforsker hvordan barn fra 1-5 år kan være medskapere i barnehagens rom og lekemiljø. Søkelyset er på samskapende og utforskende prosesser mellom barn og barnehagepersonale. En prosessmodell for utforskende praksis, Palettmodellen, hvor barn inviteres inn som medskapere i modellens syv faser, er blitt utprøvd av barnehagepersonalet i tre barnehager. I studien tar vi i bruk en tilnærming som a/r/tografer, hvor vi som dramapedagoger inntar feltet med utgangspunkt i tre roller: kunstnere (a), forskere (r) og lærere (t) ved innhenting av datamaterialet. Vi er inspirert av Deleuze og Guattari’s (1987) konsept rhizom eller rhizomatisk tenkning, som åpner for en bevegelig prosess. Metodene består av deltakende observasjoner ført i logg av personalet, løpende samtaler med personalet, forskerdagbok, fotografier, intervjuer og fokusgruppeintervjuer. Studien indikerer en vei for en mer utforskende pedagogisk praksis, hvor barn som medskapere ivaretas og fremmes i skapende prosesser.
Ludic reading is 20 minutes a day? – Adding a socio-material perspective to ludic reading
Authors: Petersen Maria Lyndgaard , Tanggaard Lene , Feder Karen
Published: October 2024

This article presents unexpected findings about children’s experiences with ludic reading, discovered through a collaborative project involving schools, libraries, and Pedagogical Learning Centres (PLC). The findings reveal that while children’s ludic reading experiences often reflect a goal-oriented, functional approach typical of educational contexts, they also seek social, playful, and immersive reading environments. This article explores how a socio-material approach can illuminate these findings, which existing literature does not fully address. The research question guiding this study is: How can a socio-material perspective on ludic reading inform professionals in rethinking initiatives to enhance children’s ludic reading? The methodology involves analysing these unexpected findings, termed ‘stumble data,’ derived from empirical material based on child-centred methods. The results suggest that a socio-material perspective can bridge the contexts in which ludic reading occurs. The article concludes that this perspective provides new explanatory frameworks and practice opportunities by integrating social and material elements that have not been sufficiently explored in the literature.
Et landskab af leg – hoved, hjerte og hænder i spil
Authors: Lomholt Pernille , Ferot Celine
Published: October 2024

Denne formidlingsartikel udforsker undervisningslandskabet og den didaktiske praksis ved hjælp af observationer fra udviklingsprojektet Play@Heart opsamlet i en feltdagbog. Projektet hører under Playful Learning programmet, som er støttet af LEGO fonden, opsamlet i en feltdagbog. Gennem feltdagbogen følger vi 5.klasse gennem en skoledag. Når skoleklokken ringer ind, bliver læseren taget med på en rejse, hvor eleverne gennem aktiviteter bruger hoved, hænder og hjerte til at skabe meningsfulde processer. Læreren reflekterer over oplevelserne og ser både udfordringer og muligheder ved åbne opgaver og tinkering. Gennem dialogisk praksis og materialiteter som medierende artefakter skabes didaktiske designs med øvebaner for dybdelæring. Når klokken ringer ud, inviteres vi til en samtale på lærerværelset om dagens skiftende landskaber, set gennem feltdagbogen. Centralt for samtalen er krydsfeltet mellem legende tilgange, tinkering og materialitet i didaktiske designs.
Kreative læringsmiljøer online – Makerspaces på tværs af skoler fra Australien, Danmark og England
Authors: Pedersen Louisa Haugaard
Published: October 2024

Denne artikel tager afsæt i et pilotprojekt med tre lokale makerspaces, der blev forbundet gennem legende og skabende aktiviteter, som tilsammen udviklede et online makerspace, der fungerede som en tværmedial legeplads og læringsplatform for lærere og elevers kommunikation, processer og produktioner. De deltagende skoleklasser i indskolingen var fra Australien, England og Danmark, og deltog i pilotprojektet kaldet The Global Makerspace project, som var en del af EU-projektet Makerspaces in the early years: Enhancing digital literacy and creativity. Artiklen præsenterer en empirisk analyse af lærerne og elevernes maker-aktiviteter ud fra et konstruktionistisk og legekulturelt perspektiv til at beskrive og fortolke, hvordan de tre lokale maker-fællesskaber tilsluttede sig ét online maker-fællesskab, og praktiserede kreative læringsmiljøer fysisk og online. Resultaterne viser elevernes tilgang til at kommunikere og konstruere på tværs af makerspaces bestod af en række legekulturelle strategier og kreative læringsprocesser som tinkering til at udveksle erfaringer, produktioner og eksperimenter. På den måde blev en Google+-gruppe til en platform for kreativitet. Eksperimentet havde til formål at udforske potentialet for, hvordan fællesskaber med lærere og elever på tværs af tid, rum og landegrænser kan samarbejde online om at dele og udvikle med forskellige analoge og digitale medier og teknologier.
The Importance of the Teachers’ Role in Imaginative Play
Authors: Håberg Liv Ingrid Aske , Synnes Hege Holmqvist
Published: October 2024

This study of Norwegian kindergartens investigates how teachers may support imaginative play, drawing on Vygotsky’s approaches to play and teachers’ positioning in play in terms of different roles. For this study, the empirical investigations were organized as both observations and focus group interviews. The sample was two kindergartens with in total 12 teachers and 44 children aged 3-5 years. The study was conducted in November 2021-April 2022. The analyses point to three main findings; firstly, changes according to daily schedule and content may have effect on play, secondly, the teacher’s role may be an obstacle in play, and thirdly, the teacher’s role may be a driving force in play. In the discussion of these findings, questions are raised about traditions and a lack of competence together can lead to children not receiving sufficient support in imaginative play. However, when the teachers are a play partner who both add new fictional elements and support the fiction by »lending« their experiences, the play’s potential and opportunity space is utilized. The conclusion is that the quality of the teachers’ role and involvement will have an impact on children’s cultural expression in play.
Aldersbestemte pædagogikkers betydning for børns legekultur
Authors: Brandt Lisa Annika
Published: October 2024

Selvom en aldersbestemt todeling i henholdsvis vuggestue og børnehave i dag er den mest udbredte dagtilbudsform i nordiske dagtilbud, så forekommer der også dagtilbud som opererer med aldersheterogene (0-6 år) eller aldershomogene børnegrupper (grupperet efter fødselsår). Med udgangspunkt i en mindre interviewundersøgelse med tilsammen ni norske og danske pædagoger, som arbejder med disse alternative dagtilbudsformer, undersøger artiklen hvordan aldersbestemte pædagogikker institutionelt kan tænkes at påvirke dagtilbuddenes legekultur. Pædagogernes udtalelser sammenlignes og analyseres ved hjælp af Flemming Mouritsens perspektiver på legekultur og Helle Marie Skovbjergs begreb om legemedier, legepraksis og legestemninger. Analysen viser, at fuld aldersblanding kan tænkes at fremme legekulturelle møder ved at tilbyde en mangfoldighed af medier, praksisser og stemninger. Derimod ser alderssegregeringen ud til at modarbejde legekulturelle sammenstød, og synes dermed at fremme opøvelsen af en mere aldersspecifik brug af medier, opøvelse af praksis og bevaring af stemninger og rytmer. Analysen viser, hvordan aldersbestemt pædagogik institutionelt skaber forskellige forudsætninger for børns etablering af legekultur i de forskellige dagtilbud. Der argumenteres for, at alder som institutionel struktur synes at være væsentlig at forholde sig til inden for børne- og legekultursforskning.
