Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Management of operating rooms is a critical point in health care organizations because surgical departments represent a significant cost in hospital budgets. Therefore, it is increasingly important that there is effective planning of elective, emergency, and day surgery and optimization of both the human and physical resources available, always maintaining a high level of care and health treatment. This would lead to a reduction in patient waiting lists and better performance not only of surgical departments but also of the entire hospital.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to automatically collect data from a real surgical scenario to develop an integrated technological-organizational model that optimizes operating block resources.

METHODS

Each patient is tracked and located in real time by wearing a bracelet sensor with a unique identifier. Exploiting the indoor location, the software architecture is able to collect the time spent for every step inside the surgical block. This method does not in any way affect the level of assistance that the patient receives and always protects their privacy; in fact, after expressing informed consent, each patient will be associated with an anonymous identification number.

RESULTS

The preliminary results are promising, making the study feasible and functional. Times automatically recorded are much more precise than those collected by humans and reported in the organization’s information system. In addition, machine learning can exploit the historical data collection to predict the surgery time required for each patient according to the patient’s specific profile. Simulation can also be applied to reproduce the system’s functioning, evaluate current performance, and identify strategies to improve the efficiency of the operating block.

CONCLUSIONS

This functional approach improves short- and long-term surgical planning, facilitating interaction between the various professionals involved in the operating block, optimizing the management of available resources, and guaranteeing a high level of patient care in an increasingly efficient health care system.

Deep Learning–Assisted Gait Parameter Assessment for Neurodegenerative Diseases: Model Development and Validation (Preprint)
Authors: Jing Yu , Qin Peinuan , Fan Xiangmin , Qiang Wei , Wencheng Zhu , Sun Wei , Tian Feng , Wang Dakuo
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are prevalent among older adults worldwide. Early diagnosis of NDD is challenging yet crucial. Gait status has been identified as an indicator of early-stage NDD changes and can play a significant role in diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Historically, gait assessment has relied on intricate but imprecise scales by trained professionals or required patients to wear additional equipment, causing discomfort. Advancements in artificial intelligence may completely transform this and offer a novel approach to gait evaluation.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to use cutting-edge machine learning techniques to offer patients a noninvasive, entirely contactless gait assessment and provide health care professionals with precise gait assessment results covering all common gait-related parameters to assist in diagnosis and rehabilitation planning.

METHODS

Data collection involved motion data from 41 different participants aged 25 to 85 (mean 57.51, SD 12.93) years captured in motion sequences using the Azure Kinect (Microsoft Corp; a 3D camera with a 30-Hz sampling frequency). Support vector machine (SVM) and bidirectional long short-term memory (Bi-LSTM) classifiers trained using spatiotemporal features extracted from raw data were used to identify gait types in each walking frame. Gait semantics could then be obtained from the frame labels, and all the gait parameters could be calculated accordingly. For optimal generalization performance of the model, the classifiers were trained using a 10-fold cross-validation strategy. The proposed algorithm was also compared with the previous best heuristic method. Qualitative and quantitative feedback from medical staff and patients in actual medical scenarios was extensively collected for usability analysis.

RESULTS

The evaluations comprised 3 aspects. Regarding the classification results from the 2 classifiers, Bi-LSTM achieved an average precision, recall, and F1-score of 90.54%, 90.41%, and 90.38%, respectively, whereas these metrics were 86.99%, 86.62%, and 86.67%, respectively, for SVM. Moreover, the Bi-LSTM–based method attained 93.2% accuracy in gait segmentation evaluation (tolerance set to 2), whereas that of the SVM-based method achieved only 77.5% accuracy. For the final gait parameter calculation result, the average error rate of the heuristic method, SVM, and Bi-LSTM was 20.91% (SD 24.69%), 5.85% (SD 5.45%), and 3.17% (SD 2.75%), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrated that the Bi-LSTM–based approach can effectively support accurate gait parameter assessment, assisting medical professionals in making early diagnoses and reasonable rehabilitation plans for patients with NDD.

BACKGROUND

Children living in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) are at greater risk for experiencing adversities that can undermine their health and early development. Recently launched digital early childhood development (ECD) programs attempt to support families with young children in their home environments using digital technologies. However, relatively little is known regarding the effectiveness of these new technologies.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study is to rigorously assess the reach, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of a newly developed digital ECD platform called Afini. The Afini platform was designed to support parents of young children in low-resource settings to improve ECD and interact with caregivers through messenger services and a chatbot.

METHODS

This is a 3-arm cluster randomized controlled trial. In total, 2471 caregivers and their 3- to 9-month-old children were enrolled in the study across 164 study clusters in the San Marcos, Cajabamba, and Cajamarca provinces of Peru. Clusters of participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups: a control group (72 community clusters and 980 caregiver-child dyads), a home visit intervention group (20 community clusters and 316 caregiver-child dyads), and an Afini intervention group (72 community clusters and 1175 caregiver-child dyads). Families in the control group receive no focused ECD intervention. The home visit group is receiving biweekly home visits by a trained field staff following the national ECD program (Programa Nacional Cuna Más) curriculum and training guidelines. Caregivers in the Afini group are receiving ECD activities and advice through the digital platform. The primary study outcome is children’s overall development at the age of 2.5 years, using the internationally validated long form of the Global Scales for Early Development. Secondary outcomes include caregiver engagement; caregiver mental health; screen time; as well as caregiver reports of children’s motor, cognitive, language, and socioemotional development measured through locally piloted and validated tools.

RESULTS

Enrollment started in September 2021 and ended in March 2023. Endline assessments will take place between August 2023 and September 2024.

CONCLUSIONS

This study is, to our knowledge, the first to rigorously assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of digital ECD technologies in LMICs. Given the large number of children in LMICs currently receiving only limited external support, the evaluated platform has the potential to improve the short- and long-term well-being of millions of children and their parents globally.

Unlocking the Potential for Implementation of Equitable, Digitally Enabled Citizen Science: Multidisciplinary Digital Health Perspective (Preprint)
Authors: Naccarella Lucio , Rawstorn Jonathan Charles , Kelly Jaimon , Quested Eleanor , Jenkinson Stuart , Kwasnicka Dominika
Published: July 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

Citizen science is a community-based participatory research approach with an emphasis on addressing health disparities that is increasingly advocated by the community, researchers, and research funders. Digitally enabled methods can extend the potential of citizen science by enabling citizens to engage in real-time research processes, such as data collection, information sharing, interpreting, acting on data, and informing decision-making. However, the power of any citizen science lies in promoting health equity by providing equal opportunity for citizen engagement. Without appropriate attention to recognize and address equity, digital enablement of citizen science may exacerbate rather than ameliorate health inequalities. In this Viewpoint, we draw on our digital health research experience and perspectives to outline the practice of citizen science in the context of digital health—how it is operationalized, key advocated principles, and challenges. We also discuss citizen science in relation to health equity and implementation science, including emphasizing the importance of integrating health equity principles and frameworks, health equity implementation determinants, and digital determinants of health. We demonstrate how equity could be achieved by providing a working example in the context of a digitally enabled approach to improving social, physical, and mental well-being among people with disability and caregivers.
Insights From a Clinically Orientated Workshop on Health Care Cybersecurity and Medical Technology: Observational Study and Thematic Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Straw Isabel , Brass Irina , Mkwashi Andrew , Charles Inika , Soares Amelie , Steer Caroline
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND

Health care professionals receive little training on the digital technologies that their patients rely on. Consequently, practitioners may face significant barriers when providing care to patients experiencing digitally mediated harms (eg, medical device failures and cybersecurity exploits). Here, we explore the impact of technological failures in clinical terms.

OBJECTIVE

Our study explored the key challenges faced by frontline health care workers during digital events, identified gaps in clinical training and guidance, and proposes a set of recommendations for improving digital clinical practice.

METHODS

A qualitative study involving a 1-day workshop of 52 participants, internationally attended, with multistakeholder participation. Participants engaged in table-top exercises and group discussions focused on medical scenarios complicated by technology (eg, malfunctioning ventilators and malicious hacks on health care apps). Extensive notes from 5 scribes were retrospectively analyzed and a thematic analysis was performed to extract and synthesize data.

RESULTS

Clinicians reported novel forms of harm related to technology (eg, geofencing in domestic violence and errors related to interconnected fetal monitoring systems) and barriers impeding adverse event reporting (eg, time constraints and postmortem device disposal). Challenges to providing effective patient care included a lack of clinical suspicion of device failures, unfamiliarity with equipment, and an absence of digitally tailored clinical protocols. Participants agreed that cyberattacks should be classified as major incidents, with the repurposing of existing crisis resources. Treatment of patients was determined by the role technology played in clinical management, such that those reliant on potentially compromised laboratory or radiological facilities were prioritized.

CONCLUSIONS

Here, we have framed digital events through a clinical lens, described in terms of their end-point impact on the patient. In doing so, we have developed a series of recommendations for ensuring responses to digital events are tailored to clinical needs and center patient care.
A Comprehensive Review on AI in Endodontics
Authors: Patel Abhishek
Published: July 2023

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has substantially grown its presence and importance in many jobs and applications in dentistry, notably endodontics. AI has the capacity to imitate human intelligence to conduct prediction and complicated decisionmaking in the healthcare industry. Dental technology uses artificial intelligence (AI), a relatively recent technology, extensively. Dental professionals have mostly employed AI technologies to diagnose disorders, plan treatments, make clinical judgements, and determine prognoses. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) and artificial neural networks (ANN) are AI models that have been applied in endodontics to study the anatomy of the root canal system, measure working lengths, find periapical lesions and root fractures, forecast the success of retreatment procedures, and forecast the viability of dental pulp stem cells. These all aspects have been reviewed comprehensively in the present article. Moreover, the works of literature stating the advancements in the field of AI in endodontics are studied for the present work. Furthermore, the future predictions and detailed limitations of AI in endodontics are discussed. Additionally, the future scope of the technology has been discussed in detail in the field of Photorealistic 3D Reconstructions and Robotics and Microbots.

Published: July 2023

Abstract: For use as a renewable fuel in diesel engines, the current experimental study investigates the extensive potential of a unique biodiesel in the form of tamarind seed oil. Given its widespread availability at almost no cost, improved sustainability, and environmental friendliness, it is a desirable candidate for widespread use in diesel engines in a nation like India. Through the transesterification process, tamarind seed yields Tamarind Seed Methyl Ester (TSME), and Jojoba Seed Methyl Ester an effective potential fuel. Tamarind Seed Methyl Ester and Jojoba Seed Methyl Ester with diesel fuel are mixed in volumetric proportions to create different biodiesel blends like TJME 10, TJME 20, TJME 30, TJME 40 and TJME 50. Experimental evaluation and comparisons between the physio-chemical characteristics of tamarind and Jojoba seed methyl ester blends, and diesel fuel were conducted.

Authors: Kulkarni Mr. Prathmesh P.
Published: July 2023

Abstract: The primary goal of this study is to provide a superior lateral load-resisting system. In this study, the diagrid structural system is considered, with the shear wall core present at the center part of the building and the diagrid bracings provided at the outer periphery of the structure, which is formed of steel material. The diagrid, which is made up of inclined diagonal steel sections, allows the diagonal member to function axially to resist lateral loads. Due to its structural effectiveness and versatility in architectural planning, the diagrid structural system has recently been used in tall buildings. A 14-story Diagrid composite building is selected, and its analysis and design results are presented. The Diagrid bracing system is connected to the end bays, the diagrid bracing system is connected to the mid-end bays, and the diagrid bracing system is connected to the end bays these are the three different types of models that have been studied. The diagrid bracing system has been modeled by using structural steel material, and the remaining structure has been modeled by using concrete material. A standard 60 m x 60 m floor plan has been considered. FEM-based software called ETABS has been used to model and analyze structures. A PT slab and a PT band beam have been used in the model frame for the span of 10 m. By considering all possible load combinations, all structural members made of steel and concrete are analyzed by IS: 800:2007 and IS: 456:2000, respectively

Objective: evaluate the quality of life (QOL), anxiety and depression scores of patients with cervical cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by chemoradiotherapy. Methods: prospective cohort study of patients with advanced uterine cervix cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radiochemotherapy at a teaching hospital in northeastern Brazil between November 2013 and January 2017. Quality of life was evaluated at four time-points: pre-treatment, after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, after radiotherapy and three months after the end of treatment using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cervix (FACT-Cx). Anxiety and depression, we used the Hospital scale of Anxiety and Depression. Results: We studied 40 women, aged 24 to 67 years with an average age of 48 ±11.4 years who had between zero and nine children (mean =3). Most were single (57.5%), illiterate and with elementary school education (85.0%). At the 1st and 4th evaluation, the mean anxiety scores were 7 ±3.5 and 5.5 ±3.6, respectively, and the mean depression scores were 4.4 ±3.2 and 3.7 ±2.6, respectively, with significant variation between the depression scores. The mean FACT-Cx scores at pretreatment were 112.3 ±17.4. At the last evaluation, the mean was 116.3 ±27.6 with a range from 52 to 155, with no significant difference. Conclusion: QOL scores remained stable throughout the treatment. There was a significant variation between the means and proportions of depression, possibly the result of the psychological support offered, demonstrating the importance of follow-up during oncologic treatment, mitigating the impacts of the disease and its treatment. There was no significant difference in anxiety.
A PSICOLOGIA HOSPITALAR NA TERMINALIDADE DA VIDA: um estudo de revisão
Authors: Soares Lara Carolina dos Reis , Machado Ana Cláudia Almeida
Published: July 2023

Hospital psychology is an increasingly widespread area in Brazil. The importance of the work of the psychologist who works in the hospital context is due, among others, to the emphasis given to the psychological aspects, in addition to the physical-biological ones, in the health-disease process. When it comes to the death and dying of the terminal patient, the psychologist can work together with the health team, in order to promote palliative care and, with that, provide the individual with a better quality of life. This research aimed to highlight characteristics of the hospital psychologist's work by conducting a bibliographical review study. Two categories emerged from Thematic Analysis, the first on the importance of their work for the different actors who work in the context of palliative care and the second on the difficulties faced by these professionals during professional practice. The results showed that the relevance of the work of the hospital psychologist reflects in improvements in the psychological well- being of patients and their families, but also, significantly, in the quality of work life of the other members that make up the multidisciplinary health team. Future research on the subject can be conducted in order to clarify this finding.
Rural human capital in the conceptual optics: Continuum and/or post-ism?
Authors: Trotsuk I. V.
Published: July 2023

In explanatory dictionaries, “post” is interpreted either as a prefix that has the same meaning as the word “after” (the most obvious and well-known examples from the social sphere are post-imperialist or post-colonial (world), post-Soviet (period), post-socialist (countries), etc.), or as the first part of compound words, denoting what exists/happens based on the second part of the word (post-impressionism, postmodernism, post-industrial, etc.) [see, e.g.: 4]. On aggregator websites of definitions from different dictionaries [see, e.g.: 13], “post” is interpreted mainly as a prefix denoting something that occurs after something, but in relation to philosophical trends of the end of the 20th century (postmodernism, postpositivism, poststructuralism, etc.), it is not only about “after”, but also about a kind of (not dialectical or negative) denial of immediate predecessors - as changing (or destroying) the accepted ideas about the hierarchy of attitudes and methods, which can be applied to human activities beyond philosophy (post-capitalism, postcommunism, post-Fordism, etc.) [see, e.g.: 15]. The lexical and research legitimacy of the prefix “post” has not been questioned for a long time, it is taken for granted in scientific and official discourses; however, the question is whether this “tool” of analytical conceptualization is universal or it has a distorting effect on research “optics” and “rhetoric” and, accordingly, a discriminatory effect on the corresponding objective realities, given the heterogeneity of most contemporary social-economic and other processes. In particular, whether we can use concepts with the prefix “post” to assess the state and prospects of the so-called “human capital”, considering its variability on the conditional but already traditional “rural-urban continuum”. The article presents an attempt to provide a preliminary assessment of the universality (or limitations) of the concepts with the prefix “post” in the study of the rural “cluster” of human capital.
Migration atlas of the Russian Federation 2022

Published: July 2023

The article is a review of the Migration Atlas of the Russian Federation prepared by a team of authors under the scientific editorship of S.V. Ryazantsev (Moscow: ITD “Perspektiva”, 2022. 180 p.). The atlas is a result of the three-year research project “The impact of immigration on the ethnic-demographic processes in the Russian Federation and approaches to improving the migration policy concerning the integration of immigrants into the Russian society”. The authors use the results of the migration and cartographic studies to present in an accessible visual form the migrations of the Russian population since the collapse of the USSR to the present. The authors focus on the directions, scale, social-demographic structure and ethnic features of the Russian migrations, including in the regional perspective. The atlas is both a source of information on some rarely studied aspects of migration and a successful presentation of the already known data in a systematic form. The atlas will be useful for different readers - civil servants, social workers, scholars, teachers and students, because the authors succeeded in presenting the migration data in an accessible and interesting form for both experienced researchers of migration and those who just start their studies in this field.
“Gaia hypothesis”, or “Science of curse”
Authors: Kovalenko A. G.
Published: July 2023

The article is a review of the book by A. Etkind, which is based on the data of sociology, history, economics, political science and statistics: the author describes the relationship between raw materials and humankind to suggest a way out of the dramatic collision ( The Nature of Evil. Raw Materials and the State . Moscow: New Literary Review, 2023. 504 p.). The second edition of the book confirms the relevance of its agenda in the contemporary situation. The chronological framework of the book covers the history from antiquity to the present day: the author shows how the key raw materials changed from timber and grain in the past to oil and gas in the present, and how such changes affected not only tastes and lifestyle but also political systems and economic vectors, which, in turn, had the opposite effect on the choice of raw materials. The author argues that the desire to possess raw materials and the intensity of their extraction and processing determined the geopolitical interests of the states, led to wars and, ultimately, to new state borders. The author introduces the concept “addictivity of raw materials” in the life of the individual and societies, which implies an unjustified dependence on a certain type of raw materials (sugar, tobacco, opium or oil), and this dependence led to global disproportions and changed the ‘natural’ historical process.

El levantamiento de la diáspora africana en las minas de oro de Antioquia y la creación del palenque del Nechí (1580-1648)
Authors: Vargas Arana Paola
Published: July 2023

En Antioquia, las sublevaciones, las huidas y la formación de palenques, por parte de la población africana y afrodescendiente, comenzaron desde la llegada de los primeros esclavizados a las minas, y se aunaron a la profusión de resistencias que se gestaba en las Américas y el Caribe. En diciembre de 1597 se planeó un “levantamiento general”, según fue denominado en la documentación primaria aquí analizada. Con base en el cruzamiento nominativo de fuentes proponemos que, al menos hasta mediados del siglo XVII, los esclavistas no pudieron contrarrestar este levantamiento y, en cercanías del río Nechí, la población fugitiva formó un palenque fortificado, con cultivos de arroz en el entorno, a partir de saberes reconfigurados de sus sociedades africanas de origen en la Alta Guinea y África Centro Occidental.

Development of innovation activity in the Russian Federation: problems and prospects
Authors: Strizhakova E. N. , Strizhakov D. V.
Published: July 2023

The purpose of the article is to identify key trends in the development of scientific and innovative activities in the Russian Federation. The methodology consists of comparative and structural analyses, analysis and synthesis, and the method of logical generalization. The study established the main trends in the process of development, implementation, and diffusion of innovations in scientific and industrial activities in the Russian Federation. In recent years, the innovation ranking of the countries of the world has not highly assessed the state of the innovation system of the Russian Federation. The country occupies a stable 45–47th place among 130 surveyed countries of the world with weaknesses including institutions, infrastructure, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness of businesses, as well as the amount of investment, including foreign ones. Strong but improperly implemented aspects include the high quality of human potential, the results of creative details, and the scale of the market. The factors hindering the implementation of the innovation process have been analyzed, and despite decreasing over the past twenty years, the lack of own funds, high innovation costs, and lack of state financial support are still significant obstacles to enterprises. The process of implementing innovative activities by enterprises and their sustainable development directly depend on the state of science in the country. The analysis has shown that decisions made in the process of implementing state policy do not have a significant positive impact on its development; moreover, a number of indicators such as the number of personnel involved in research and development generally decrease annually. Thus, there is clearly a need to revise the quality, quantity, and essence of public administration measures so that the innovative and scientific potential of the Russian Federation is realized, ensuring the country’s economy to switch to an innovative development path.

Com foco na crítica da branquitude da estética e da história da arte, parto da análise antropológica do comportamento da branquitude no Brasil, elencando duas de suas principais características: o lugar de branco e o racismo cultural e institucional. A partir dessas duas categorias analiso a construção da estética e da história da arte de povos não-ocidentais, com o intuito de ampliar o escopo e aplicar essa análise às produções artísticas de pessoas não-brancas consideradas como parte da arte Ocidental, tendo em vista sua quase ausência entre as obras de referência da história da arte brasileira.
Diálogos: Ocidente e Oriente, crítica e arte, teatro e pandemia
Authors: Duarte de Andrade Pedro
Published: July 2023

O ensaio analisa desafios da forma do diálogo, cara à filosofia desde Platão até Heidegger, para relacionar diferenças: entre culturas, como o Ocidente e o Oriente; entre atividades, como crítica e arte; entre experiências e situações, como o teatro e a pandemia. Essa análise segue o fio condutor de um comentário ao texto de Patrick Pessoa “Nova conversa entre um ator japonês e um crítico brasileiro”, de 2021, no qual as diferenças acima são incorporadas e debatidas também através da diferença entre os trabalhos dos interlocutores. Busca-se, assim, destacar a especificidade da forma dialógica no texto de Patrick Pessoa e como ela singulariza – em comparação com o texto “De uma conversa sobre a linguagem entre um japonês e um pensador”, que Heidegger escreveu nos anos 1950 – os temas de que trata, incluindo a situação do teatro diante da pandemia de Covid-19 que, entre 2020 e 2022, perdeu a realidade da presença compartilhada no mesmo espaço e no mesmo tempo, tornando-se virtual.

O conceito de saúde e seu reconhecimento enquanto direito envolve uma gama de influências, tais como fatores econômicos, sociais, culturais e étnicos. O problema investiga em que medida tal fato justifica as modificações do conceito de saúde ao longo do tempo e sua consolidação na esfera dos direitos humanos e fundamentais. Objetiva-se fomentar a reflexão sobre o surgimento do direito à saúde como um elemento de cidadania, verificando-se, através da abordagem bibliográfica e método hipotético dedutivo, que a saúde está interligada ao meio e a forma como vivem as pessoas, assim como a possibilidade de acesso a bens e serviços essenciais. O Brasil foi incorporando a sua responsabilidade em garantir o acesso à saúde, uma vez que o modelo excludente de prestação de serviço público de saúde foi questionado pelo Movimento de Reforma Sanitária, reivindicando-se a formação de um sistema único de saúde que fosse universal, integral e igualitário.
PRECISO FALAR SOBRE ETNIA E RAÇA:
Authors: Rotondano Ricardo Oliveira
Published: July 2023

O presente trabalho se debruça sobre a necessidade de afirmação dos conceitos de etnia e de raça na contemporaneidade, de modo a inserir tais preceitos no debate público para a feitura de políticas públicas para grupos com marcadores étnico-raciais, cujo déficit histórico de direitos é inegável. Avalia-se o percurso histórico do tratamento dos elementos etnia e raça no Brasil, que perpassam desde a visão racialista – vigente entre os séculos XVI a XIX – até a posição não-racialista – predominante desde o século XX até a contemporaneidade. Para tanto, utilizou-se uma abordagem metodológica hipotético-dedutiva e dialética, por meio dos métodos observacional, comparativo e estatístico, recorrendo ainda a técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, histórica, realizando-se uma análise do discurso em relação a falas proferidas por representantes institucionais do Estado brasileiro em relação à temática das políticas de cunho afirmativo para pessoas de origem africana e para indígenas.

Published: July 2023

O presente trabalho tem por objeto de analise a política criminal no neoliberalismo e de como os mecanismos de segurança se apresentam como mercadorias dentro de uma economia neoliberal financeirizada. O objetivo é investigar as relações entre a implementação das políticas econômicas de cunho neoliberal e o fenômeno da complexificação do sistema punitivo e seus reflexos nas políticas econômica e criminal na realidade brasileira, analisando as políticas adotadas e o investimento que se tem feito, quiçá no exemplo privilegiado do Estado de Santa Catarina. A pesquisa foi realizada através da metodologia dedutiva, com emprego de material bibliográfico, bem como se procedeu, para análise do objeto, a utilização de publicações oficiais. De maneira preliminar, uma vez que este estudo necessita de investigações contínuas, pode-se afirmar que se chegou a conclusão de que a hipótese de confirma, ou seja, a política criminal adotada para o Estado de Santa Catarina converge com as demandas do capitalismo financeiro neoliberal.

A complexidade da judicialização da saúde abre espaço à matriz de investigação sistêmica. Qual o estado da arte dos estudos sobre judicialização pela abordagem da Teoria dos Sistema Sociais de Niklas Luhmann? Os objetivos deste estudo são identificar a percepção do fenômeno e a compreensão de seus efeitos e indicar as lacunas da área. Fez-se uma revisão narrativa da literatura, levantada nos sites Scielo, Lilacs e Google Acadêmico com os termos “Judicialização da Saúde” AND “Teoria de Sistemas”. A análise foi diagramada em quadros conceituais utilizando as categorias teóricas complexidade; autorreferencialidade; acoplamento estrutural; comunicação e tomada de decisão. O principal resultado é a identificação da judicialização como uma sobrecarga do sistema judicial, marcado por seu fechamento operativo. Como contribuição se apresenta a formulação das lacunas de pesquisa: a natureza sistêmica da judicialização, o levantamento de evidências empíricas, o parâmetro sobre o fenômeno por região  e a metodologia de observação sistêmica.
ECOLOGÍA POLÍTICA:

La ecología política es una herramienta útil en el estudio de los conflictos socioambientales porque nos permite interrelacionar los aspectos sociales y los ambientales en la disputa por bienes comunes de la naturaleza. Los conflictos socioambientales han sido clasificados de distintas formas, por el alcance territorial o el tipo de proyectos de los que se derivan. En este trabajo propongo una caracterización a partir de tres casos en los que identifico elementos en común: en la disputa judicial distingo entre el ámbito técnico y de infraestructura, el legal y administrativo, y el social y cultural. Cada cual contiene nociones y argumentos mediante los que se disputa el avance o detención de un proyecto ambiental y son atendidos de forma diferenciada por quienes les promueven. El ámbito social y cultural suele ser el menos atendido y sin embargo es el que determina con mayo claridad la cancelación de la obra motivo del conflicto social.
NAÇÃO DESDE O MARCO PÓS-COLONIAL:

Tentativas de superação do colonialismo e do imperialismo marcaram o encerramento do século XX, trazendo consigo o desejo de uma plena igualdade formal eivadas de grandes aspirações, expectativas de progresso e desenvolvimento econômico. Entretanto, tal processo não se deu sem tomar consigo claras demonstrações de violência institucionalizada, dependência econômica em vasta escala e o crescimento exponencial de regimes ditatoriais provocando violações massivas de direitos humanos. Assim sendo, estabelecido o panorama pós-independência, convém por força de uma perspectiva historiográfica, revisitar o que se entende por Estado, levando em conta os contornos, conceitos e implicações do nacionalismo. Para tanto, serão consultados autores como Partha Chatterjee, Vijay Prashad e Benedict Anderson. Antes de tudo, por uma proposta pós-colonial, fundada na assimilação da diversidade, vê-se necessário ‘imaginar” o Estado liberto das amarras do nacionalismo liberal, levando em conta toda a rica multiplicidade de processos históricos evidenciados na sua formação e identificação.

Molecular and cell biology have resulted in major advances in our understanding of disease pathogenesis as well as in novel strategies for the diagnosis, therapy and prevention of human diseases. Based on modern molecular, genetic, epigenetic microbiologic and biochemical analyses it is, on the one hand, possible to identify disease-related point mutations and single nucleotide polymorphisms in the context of genomewide association analyses (GWAS). On the other hand, using high throughput array and other technologies, it is possible to simultaneously analyze thousands of genes (DNA) or gene products (RNA and proteins), resulting in an individual gene or gene expression profile (‘signature’) or to characterize the individual microbiome and its pathogenetic potential. Such data increasingly allow to define the individual disease predisposition or risk and to predict disease prognosis as well as the efficacy of therapeutic strategies in the individual patient (‘personalized medicine’). All these aspects have greatly contributed to the recent advances in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of human diseases.
