As reivindicações da dor: crítica e sofrimento em Theodor W. Adorno
Authors: Caux Luiz Philipe de , Silva Eduardo Soares Neves
Published: February 2025

Resumo: A relação entre sofrimento e crítica da sociedade, em Adorno, é foco de mal-entendidos na literatura. De um lado, encontram-se aqueles que entendem que Adorno se equivocou, ao extrair normatividade de modo imediato do sofrimento, psicologizando a crítica e associando a não identidade ao lugar social da vítima. De outro lado, estão aqueles que compreendem afirmativamente que uma normatividade intrínseca ao sofrimento é que justifica a crítica social e dá o seu critério. O artigo pretende questionar os pressupostos comuns a essas duas posições, mostrando que, para Adorno, o sofrimento não é portador de uma normatividade própria, nem cumpre nenhuma função de justificação ou fundamentação, seja teórica, seja prática. A tese adorniana é que o sofrimento move a crítica e que, nesse sentido, a teoria, longe de ser neutra, está somaticamente implicada em seu objeto, possuindo, por isso, um forte componente expressivo.
Empathy moments
Authors: Cadena Nathalie Barbosa de la
Published: February 2025

Abstract: In this paper, I analyse the act of consciousness called empathy, as proposed by Husserl in Ideas II. By applying Husserl’s phenomenological reduction, I evidence three moments that constitute empathy: first, to recognize the other Ego; second, to open myself up to the other Ego; and third, to feel with the other Ego. I investigate these eidetic universalities [Wesenallgemeinheiten] within the limits of pure intuition (HUA III, 146). To recognize the other Ego is an involuntary act that happens in consciousness when I come face-to-face with another human being. To open myself up to the other Ego is a spiritual act derived from freedom. I can decide whether or not to open myself up. If I do not, empathy is interrupted, incomplete, and I can react either affectionately or distressfully, or I can make a hasty judgement and decide either to distance myself from the other or to act. If I open myself up to the other Ego, I can react affectionately or distressfully, without much information. Another possibility is to comprehend, reflect, judge, agree or disagree, and decide either to distance myself from the other or to act in either a compassionate or a confrontational way. In this regard, empathy does not imply agreeing or acting compassionately. In short, I present a mental map of this reasoning and conclude by pointing out the need to develop empathy and the importance of having time to empathise appropriately.

Published: February 2025

This study aimed to describe the prevalence of depressive symptoms and associated factors among older adults. A cross-sectional population-based study using data from the 2019 Brazilian National Health Survey was carried out. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was determined using the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and associations were tested according to sociodemographic, health and behavioral variables. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using Poisson’s regression. The overall prevalence of depressive symptoms was 10.7% (95%CI: 9.9; 11.5). Higher PHQ-9 scores were associated with female gender (PR = 2.11, 95%CI: 1.82; 2.44), lack of participation in religious activities (PR = 1.20, 95%CI: 1.07; 1.35), nonsmoking status (PR = 1.55, 95%CI: 1.32; 1.83), poor or very poor self-perceived health (PR = 7.55, 95%CI: 5.82; 9.80), and multimorbidity (PR = 2.26, 95%CI: 1.85; 2.75). Higher education (PR = 0.55, 95%CI: 0.42; 0.73), income (PR = 0.68, 95%CI: 0.54; 0.85), and physical activity (PR = 0.72, 95%CI: 0.57; 0.90) were found to be negatively associated with the outcome. The most prevalent depressive symptoms were: sleeping problems (24.8%, 95%CI: 23.8; 25.8), not feeling rested or willing/feeling without energy (14.5%, 95%CI: 13.7; 15.4), and being depressed/down/without perspective (10.5%, 95%CI: 9.7; 11.2). These findings highlight the importance of prioritizing the identification and treatment of depressive symptoms in older Brazilian populations, particularly given that one in ten older Brazilians experience depressive symptoms.

Multimorbidity is associated with negative effects on the health of individuals, increasing the complexity of health care. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of multimorbidity and associated factors in the adult Indigenous population living in villages in Aracruz, Espírito Santo State, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study using data from the project called Assessment of the Prevalence and Severity of Chronic Diseases in the Indigenous Population of Espírito Santo State. Data were collected from 2020 to 2022. Multimorbidity was defined as the presence of two or more chronic morbidities in a group of eight morbidities. As a measure of association, the prevalence ratio (PR) and its 95% confidence interval (95%CI), calculated by Poisson regression with robust variance, in crude models and models adjusted for covariates were used. The prevalence of multimorbidity was 52.1% (95%CI: 49.1-55.2), being significantly higher among women (PR = 1.47; 95%CI: 1.29-1.67), those aged ≥ 40 years (40-59 years: PR = 1.49; 95%CI: 1.28-1.73; ≥ 60 years: PR = 1.85; 95%CI: 1.55-2.20) and lower for individuals with higher education (PR = 0.65; 95%CI: 0.47-0.89). The prevalence of multimorbidity in the Indigenous population living in villages in Espírito Santo State was higher than that found in other studies in the general Brazilian population. There was association between the presence of multimorbidity and sex, age and education level.
A regulação assistencial da saúde suplementar no Brasil entre 2000 e 2018
Authors: Lima Junior Ivo Aurelio , Machado Cristiani Vieira , Lima Sheyla Maria Lemos
Published: February 2025

Este artigo analisa a atuação da Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS) na regulação assistencial do setor entre 2000 e 2018. Por meio de análise documental, caracterizaram-se as principais iniciativas dessa dimensão regulatória nos cinco mandatos da diretoria da ANS no período. Ademais, o estudo explora as normas legais e infralegais relacionadas ao tema e as principais ações da ANS para a garantia das coberturas e a qualificação da assistência ofertada por operadoras e prestadores de serviços. Essas normativas foram organizadas em três eixos de regulação assistencial: rol de procedimentos e eventos em saúde e cobertura assistencial; segmentação assistencial; e iniciativas de promoção à saúde, prevenção de doenças e qualificação da assistência. Observa-se que as medidas de regulação assistencial implementadas seguiram uma tendência de continuidade, em que pese a variação de orientações políticas e trajetórias profissionais de seus diretores-presidentes ou a configuração da diretoria colegiada. Isso pode ser atribuído a fatores como a profissionalização da regulação e o estabelecimento do arcabouço institucional da ANS. Apesar do caráter microrregulatório da atuação da agência, a regulação assistencial contribuiu para a promoção da atenção integral aos beneficiários de planos de saúde e para a indução de melhores práticas assistenciais pelas operadoras e seus prestadores de serviços. Porém, persistem pressões do empresariado para a flexibilização da regulação assistencial.
Determinação social da saúde, complexidade, colonialidade e longa duração
Authors: Sevalho Gil
Published: February 2025

Este ensaio relaciona conhecimento crítico da determinação social da saúde, colonialidade e tempo como fundamento epistêmico. O tempo é um elemento relevante de articulação interdisciplinar complexa, embora não conforme reflexão aprofundada na Saúde Coletiva. Resgatam-se bases históricas, e atualiza-se o debate sobre a determinação social da saúde, relevando-se as contribuições de Naomar de Almeida Filho e Jaime Breilh, autores que pensam desde o Sul, fora da hegemonia norte-americana e eurocêntrica. Complexidade, compromisso com a transformação social e sentido descolonizador inspiram a aproximação entre a saúde coletiva, as reflexões de Fernand Braudel e Immanuel Wallerstein, sobre a longa duração e o capitalismo histórico no sistema moderno, e o pensamento decolonial com seu conceito de colonialidade. A concepção braudeliana compreende temporalidades múltiplas e integra, dialeticamente, a mudança e a permanência na longa duração, e a reflexão decolonial insere a colonialidade na longa duração. A colonialidade compõe a determinação social da saúde, ou como dispositivo que produz e reproduz iniquidades econômicas, de gênero, étnico-raciais e opressão social, ou na dimensão epistemológica como colonialidade do saber que orienta a conceituação epidemiológica. A longa duração de Braudel, o sistema-mundo de Wallerstein e o pensamento decolonial são aportes a serem explorados no pensamento em saúde. A integração epistemológica do tempo à reflexão epidemiológica pode revelar apagamentos e (re)constituir contextos históricos e durações cuja complexidade foge à visão fragmentada e congelada dos determinantes produzida pelo funcionalismo cartesiano da epidemiologia dos fatores de risco.

Published: February 2025

A multimorbidade está associada a efeitos negativos sobre a saúde dos indivíduos, aumentando a complexidade da assistência à saúde. Nosso objetivo foi determinar a prevalência de multimorbidade e fatores associados na população indígena adulta aldeada em Aracruz, Espírito Santo, Brasil. Trata-se de estudo transversal realizado com os dados do projeto Avaliação da Prevalência e Severidade das Doenças Crônicas na População Indígena do Espírito Santos. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre 2020 e 2022. A multimorbidade foi definida pela presença de duas ou mais morbidades crônicas em um grupo de oito morbidades. Como medida de associação, utilizou-se a razão de prevalência (RP) e seu intervalo de 95% de confiança (IC95%), calculados por regressão de Poisson com variância robusta, em modelos bruto e ajustado por covariáveis. A prevalência de multimorbidade foi de 52,1% (IC95%: 49,1-55,2) sendo significativamente maior entre as mulheres (RP = 1,47; IC95%: 1,29-1,67), idade ≥ 40 anos (40-59 anos: RP = 1,49; IC95%: 1,28-1,73; ≥ 60 anos: RP = 1,85; IC95%: 1,55-2,20) e menor para os indivíduos com nível superior de escolaridade (RP = 0,65; IC95%: 0,47-0,89). A prevalência de multimorbidade na população indígena aldeada do ES foi superior à encontrada em outros estudos realizados na população geral brasileira. Houve associação da presença de multimorbidade com sexo, idade e nível de escolaridade.

O objetivo foi avaliar a cobertura nacional de registro de partos no Sistema de Informação Hospitalar do Sistema Único de Saúde (SIH/SUS), segundo o hospital de ocorrência, e verificar características institucionais associadas. Realizou-se estudo ecológico descritivo com dados do SIH/SUS, do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) e do Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde (CNES) de acesso público, de 2012-2020. Internações de mulheres de 10 a 49 anos para parto vaginal ou cesariana no SIH/SUS foram comparadas aos registros de nascidos vivos ocorridos em partos hospitalares em estabelecimentos com convênio SUS e mais de 100 nascidos vivos/ano no SINASC. A cobertura foi medida pela proporção de internações para partos (SIH/SUS) em relação ao total de nascidos vivos SINASC. Modelos de classificação supervisionada, árvore de decisão e floresta aleatória foram utilizados para identificar as características hospitalares para a predição da cobertura. A cobertura no SIH/SUS foi estimada em 86,9%, e em 80,6% após a exclusão de hospitais com cobertura > 100%. Maiores coberturas foram observadas nas regiões Norte e Nordeste e menores no Sul e no Centro-oeste. Houve aumento da cobertura nacional de 77,9% para 82,3% no período. Os principais fatores preditivos foram a proporção de cesarianas, a quantidade de leitos obstétricos do SUS, a esfera administrativa e o porte do hospital, com menor cobertura em serviços que apresentam maior prevalência de cesarianas. Falhas no registro do CNES foram identificadas no SINASC. A cobertura de registro de partos pelo SIH/SUS é elevada, sendo menor em hospitais com elevada proporção de cesarianas. Estratégias de melhoria contínua da qualidade de registro nos sistemas de informação são necessárias.
Uncertainty and Planning: reasoning on French indicative planning
Authors: Caldari Katia
Published: February 2025

Abstract Uncertainty always results into a problem of scarce knowledge. Lack of information and imperfect knowledge prevent individuals from behaving fully rationally This is true at a micro level as well as at a macro level. At a macro level the impossibility of a perfect rational economic calculation was the ground for the debate on socialism and the critique of central planning raised by the Austrian School. Given uncertainty, planning was considered unworkable and inefficient; on the contrary, supporters of planning argued that it was precisely uncertainty that made planning necessary. This latter opinion also belongs to the French planners who, after World War II, promoted, in France, a kind of planning that could be compatible with the market economy. This work deals with the French case and focuses on Massé’s attempts to make planning both “indicative” and “active”.
Frank Knight and the paradox of uncertainty
Authors: Bee Michele , Lazega Rafaël
Published: February 2025

Abstract Frank Knight sees a paradox in the attempt to resolve uncertainty. People try to reduce it rationally, but at the same time they do not want life without it, otherwise life would lose its interest. From this perspective, we show that Knight’s critique of theoretical and real competition is not necessarily aimed at denying competition tout court, as some claim, nor at accepting laissez-faire as the best system despite its problems, as others claim. On the contrary, we argue that as an alternative to theoretical perfect competition with zero uncertainty and real laissez-faire with its unbalanced uncertainty, Knight imagines the possibility of a different competitive game in which uncertainty is better distributed among the players. This game allows all its players to deal with uncertainty in a way they enjoy. In it, competition is no longer a goad for most people, but a lure for all, not just a few.
Wildlife roadkill hotspots on roads crossing Conservation Units in the State of Sergipe, Brazil
Authors: Bomfim D. A. S. , Melo C. M. , Madi R. R.
Published: February 2025

Abstract Roadkill of wild animals is a significant threat to biodiversity in Brazil, causing numerous animal deaths annually. This study aimed to identify the main locations of roadkill of wild animals on two highways that pass through Conservation Units in the state of Sergipe, Brazil, examining the correlation between roadkill and dry and rainy seasons. From November 2021 to October 2022, 49 surveys were carried out along BR-235, near Serra de Itabaiana National Park, and on the Adil Dantas do Amor Cardoso highway (ADAC), crossing the Mata do Crasto Private Natural Heritage Reserve. The campaigns were carried out on motorcycles, traveling at a speed between 20 and 60 km/h. To identify roadkill points for each highway, Kernel density estimation and species accumulation curves with area extrapolation (Bootstrap) were used, and mortality rates, the 2D K-Ripley test to test the randomness of roadkills and Shannon's diversity index (H'). On BR-235, 63 roadkills were recorded and an average mortality rate of 0.0652 individuals/Km/day, while on the Adil Dantas do Amor Cardoso highway, which has implemented mitigating measures, 15 occurrences were recorded with an average mortality rate of 0.1430 individuals/Km/day. Attraction points generated by the presence of improperly discarded carcasses on BR-235 were also identified. Although not significant, the BR-235 highway showed a positive correlation between precipitation and the frequency of roadkill (rs=0.1426, p=0.5851), while ADAC showed a negative correlation for the same variables (rs=-0.1749, p=0.5675). Understanding the patterns of roadkill and the needs of highways is essential for the development of effective strategies and the establishment of effective mitigation measures, thus minimizing the negative impacts of highways on biodiversity.

Abstract Genyatremus luteus primarily inhabits estuarine regions and holds significant commercial value along the Brazilian Amazon coast. This study aimed to investigate the population structure and reproductive biology of G. luteus caught in the Paciência River estuary, in the state of Maranhão. Approximately 30 specimens were collected monthly from November 2015 to October 2017, totaling 475 individuals (295 females and 180 males). The sex ratio differed significantly over the study period, at 1.6F:1M (χ2 = 84.3; df = 10; p < 0.05). The mean length at first sexual maturity was 12.66 cm for females, 12.32 cm for males, and 12.56 cm for combined sexes, exhibiting negative allometric growth (b < 3) with peaks in the condition factor of 2.04 and 1.30 for females and males, respectively. Females showed a broader length range (23.16 ± 3.97 cm), possibly attributed to a reproductive strategy to ensure species perpetuation. These findings contribute to optimizing fisheries management strategies, ensuring that individuals can reproduce before being caught. Additionally, analyzing seasonal reproductive patterns relative to environmental variables, such as rainfall, offers deeper insights into how external factors influence reproductive cycles and population dynamics.

Authors: Jacuinde-Ruíz J. C. , González-Hernández J. C.
Published: February 2025

Abstract The Spirulina maxima algae is a phototrophic, multicellular, filamentous cyanobacteria of greenish blue tones, without ramifications and is characterized mainly by its helical form, thickness of approximately 3 to 12 µm and length of 500 µm; its development depends on factors such as temperature, light intensity, pH, aeration speed, carbon dioxide concentration, carbon source, nitrogen source which determine its chemical composition, which is composed of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, minerals, and vitamins; due to this, it is widely used in industries such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and energy to obtain different products of great value. This S. maxima review addresses morphological characteristics, growth factors, growth methods, and metabolites of biotechnological interest and biotechnological applications for the S. maxima microalgae. A brief review of the enzyme production capacity of S. maxima and other microalgae is also presented, in addition to mentioning some areas of opportunity to study these and the economic viability of implementing a biorefinery with an integrated approach for the production of biomass and metabolites of biotechnological relevance based on the control of growth variables and the productive and economic efficiency of the process is discussed.

Abstract Excessive activation of osteoclasts during bone infections can result in destructive bone complications, including non-union and delayed fracture healing. Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus pyogenes are known pathogens associated with bone and joint infections, which can lead to severe complications and the deterioration of tissue. This study aimed to investigate the potential of mechano-bacteria intervention in combating these bacteria. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) tests were conducted on Polycaprolactone (PCL) and PCL/graphene (G) scaffolds containing different concentrations of graphene, namely 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 wt%, to evaluate the thermal impact on the activity of E. faecalis and S. pyogenes. Furthermore, the Kirby Bauer Method was used to assess the antibacterial activity against both bacteria. The analysis of the average inhibition zone showed a correlation between the antibacterial effect and the concentration of G within the scaffolds. The highest inhibition zone was observed when 2.5 wt% G was used for both E. faecalis and S. pyogenes. The higher Tmax from Thermogravimetric Analysis showed PCL/G with 2.5 wt% G was due to the greater heat energy required to break down sp2 hybridized carbon atoms in a hexagonal framework. The TGA results indicate that higher graphene content (2.5 wt%) requires more energy for thermal decomposition compared to lower concentrations (0.5 wt% and 1.5 wt%) and PCL while the DSC results also showed that presence of G had a significant impact on Tg (glass transition temperature), Tc (crystallization temperature), and Tm (melting temperature), as the temperature increased with the addition of G. Based on the result of this study, it was concluded that G had potential for inhibiting bacteria growth.

Abstract The subfamily Lamiinae, with global distribution, includes the genus Atrypanius (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). The objective was to register, for the first time, Atrypanius lignarius (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) as a pest in a commercial plantation of Paulownia fortunei var. mikado. Plants of Paulownia fortunei var. mikado with larvae in galleries, excavated in their stems and causing considerable injuries, were examined. These larvae were maintained, in the laboratory, and the adults emerged identified as A. lignarius. Injuries caused by this pest included yellowing and premature leaf drop. Atrypanius lignarius was identified as a pest of adult P. fortunei var. mikado plants in Santa Catarina state, Brazil. The demand for wood from this plant increases the importance of strategies to mitigate injuries caused by A. lignarius.

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the impact of orthodontic treatment with orthodontic aligners (OAs) and fixed appliances (FAs) on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). This parallel randomized clinical trial included 40 male and female patients aged 13 to 35 years diagnosed with Angle’s Class I malocclusion. Participants were assigned to two groups: OA (n = 20) and FA (n = 20). OHRQoL was assessed using the Brazilian OHIP-14, which was administered before treatment (T0), at 1 month (T1), 6 months (T2), and 12 months (T3) after treatment initiation. Data were analyzed using the independent t test, the chi-square test, the Mann-Whitney test, and Friedman test (p < 0.05). FAs had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher impact on OHRQoL at T1 in terms of functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, and overall score. Within-group comparison showed higher scores for the FA group in comparison to the OA group. Functional limitation scores were higher at T1 than at T0 (p = 0.034), while physical pain scores were higher at T1 compared to T0 (p = 0.034) and T2 (p = 0.010). Psychological discomfort scores were higher at T1 than at T2 (p = 0.015). Physical disability scores were higher at T1 compared to T0 (p = 0.008). Overall scores were higher at T1 than at T2 (p = 0.003). No significant changes were observed in the OA within-group comparison. Patients treated with OAs had less impact on OHRQoL compared to those treated with FAs in the first month. There was no difference between the groups at the 6-month follow-up.

Published: February 2025

Abstract This study aimed to assess the biomechanical behavior of reinforcement materials [cobalt chromium alloy (CoCr) and carbon fiber-reinforced polyether ether ketone (CFR-PEEK)] and their extensions (short: 15 mm and long: 25 mm) of single implant-retained mandibular overdentures (MO-1) by 3D finite element analysis (FEA), comparing them with MO-1 without a framework. Five models (CoCr-Short, CFR-PEEK-Short, CoCr-Long, CFR-PEEK-Long, and no framework) were created using the McNeel Rhinoceros 3D software, version 7.0. Stress distribution analysis by FEA was performed using the Optstruct solver, and a 30° oblique load (100 N) was applied in the anterior region (50 N on each central incisor). Biomechanical behavior was analyzed by overdenture displacement, maximum (MaxP) and minimum principal (MinP) stress, and von Mises stress. The MO-1 model ‘without a framework’ produced the largest dislocation, MinP stress on the mucosa, and MaxP stress in the cortical bone. Regardless of the extension of the framework, CFR-PEEK had minor MinP stress in the mucosa and lower overdenture displacement. The ‘CoCr-Long’ and ‘CFR-PEEK-Long’ models had higher von Mises stress on the implant housing, and MaxP stress on the O’ring nylon conventional implant and overdenture. The ‘CoCr-Short’ and ‘ CFR-PEEK-Short’ models showed a greater tendency for tension concentration solely in the framework. The incorporation of a framework into MO-1 decreased stress concentration on the overdenture, resulting in lower stress on the attachment, mucosa, implant, and peri-implant bone, irrespective of the material used. The short framework, however, performed better biomechanically in MO-1, and it is therefore the most recommended option. CFR-PEEK showed favorable biomechanical outcomes, and is suggested for reinforcement of MO-1.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT Purpose To compare the self-perception of vocal fatigue and insomnia severity between teachers at risk and not at risk for dysphonia and between men and women. Method The study included 120 female and 80 male teachers from various teaching levels. All participants completed self-assessment questionnaires on their working conditions, the Screening Index for Voice Disorder (SIVD), the Vocal Fatigue Index (VFI), and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). Teachers were grouped into those at risk (DG) and not at risk for dysphonia (NDG). Results Both DG and NDG reported noise, stress, and dust in the work environment. These factors were more frequent in DG, which also scored above the cutoff for all VFI factors, while NDG scored high in Factor I and the total score but scored below the cutoff in Factor IV. Analysis per gender revealed no difference between DG and NDG among males, except for Factor IV. Among females, Factor IV scores were above the cutoff in DG. ISI indicated all participants had subthreshold insomnia. Conclusion Teachers often had symptoms of vocal fatigue and subthreshold insomnia regardless of the risk for dysphonia. However, DG teachers had higher scores on both protocols. Also, DG females recovered from vocal fatigue symptoms after vocal rest, unlike their counterparts who were not at risk. Both DG and NDG males and females experienced vocal fatigue and limitations, but only those at risk recovered after vocal rest.

RESUMO Objetivo Comparar autopercepção de fadiga vocal e gravidade da insônia de professores com e sem risco para disfonia, bem como entre homens e mulheres. Método Participaram 120 professoras e 80 professores, de vários níveis de ensino. Todos responderam aos questionários de autoavaliação: condições de trabalho docente, Índice de Triagem de Distúrbios da Voz-ITDV, Índice de Fadiga Vocal-IFV e Índice de Gravidade da Insônia-IGI. Os professores foram distribuídos em grupo com risco (GD) e sem risco para disfonia (GND). Resultados GD e GND relataram ruído, estresse e poeira no ambiente de trabalho, sendo mais frequentes no GD. No IFV, GD apresentou escores acima dos valores de corte para todos os fatores, enquanto GND apresentou valores elevados para o fator-I e total, e valores abaixo da nota de corte para o fator-IV. Na análise por gênero, não houve diferença no grupo masculino entre GD e GND apenas para o fator-IV. Para as professoras, o fator-IV apresentou escore acima do valor de corte para GD. Quanto ao IGI, todos apresentaram insônia subliminar. Conclusão Independente do risco para disfonia, professores apresentaram frequente sintomatologia de fadiga vocal e insônia subliminar, porém, professores com risco para disfonia apresentaram escores mais elevados para ambos os protocolos. Além disso, professoras com risco para disfonia recuperam sintomas de fadiga vocal após repouso vocal, o que não ocorreu com as professoras sem risco. Os professores com e sem risco para disfonia apresentaram fadiga e limitação vocal, sendo que apenas os professores com risco se recuperam após repouso vocal.

ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate potential association between different types of frailty and hearing handicap in the older population. Methods A study was conducted on frailty among older adults in the context of social vulnerability. The study involved 229 participants who underwent physical, cognitive, and social frailty assessments. Physical frailty was assessed using Fried's Frailty Phenotype, while cognitive frailty was characterized by the presence of physical frailty and cognitive decline. The Makizako index was used to assess social frailty, and the HHIE-S questionnaire was applied to quantify hearing handicap. Participation restrictions related to hearing difficulties were explored in relation to the three types of frailty using logistic regression. Results Hearing handicap were found to be associated with physical, cognitive, and social frailties. However, in a multivariate binary logistic regression analysis, the emotional scale of HHIE-S was only a predictive factor for physical frailty, along with older age, lower education, and the presence of comorbidities. Age and the presence of comorbidities were the only associated explanatory variables for cognitive frailty. Social frailty was only associated with the presence of cognitive changes. Conclusion Hearing loss-related participation restrictions can be a significant challenge for older adults. Those who also have an emotional impairment, caused by hearing loss, are even more vulnerable to becoming frail or pre-frail. It’s important to prioritize the needs of this population and provide the necessary support to enhance their quality of life and prevent further decline.

RESUMO O período gestacional é caracterizado por alterações fisiológicas que acarretam desfechos que evoluem negativamente. A pandemia de covid-19 teve altas taxas de óbito em mulheres no mundo. Este estudo objetivou analisar as repercussões da pandemia de covid-19 no perfil epidemiológico da Mortalidade Materna. Trata-se de um estudo transversal comparativo entre os períodos anterior (2018-2019) e inicial da pandemia de covid-19 (2020-2021). Os dados foram coletados da base da Secretaria de Estado de Saúde do Mato Grosso do Sul e analisados no R-Studio. Foram analisadas 118 mortes maternas. 51 ocorreram entre 2018-2019 e 67 entre 2020-2021. A razão de Mortalidade Materna passou de 57,97 para 80,25. Anos Potenciais de Vida Perdidos aumentaram de 1774,41 para 2237,34. Puérperas tiveram elevadas taxas de mortalidade. A doença respiratória teve razão de prevalência de 2,18 (IC=1,34-3,52) para o período de 2020-2021, quando comparado com 2018-2019. Os resultados evidenciam a vulnerabilidade das mulheres no ciclo gravídico puerperal às doenças com alto contágio e com virulência elevada, como a covid-19. A ampliação de acesso ocasiona prevenção de óbitos evitáveis, que desencadeiam repercussões sociais e econômicas negativas para toda a população.
A cronicidade em saúde mental: um olhar sobre a produção científica brasileira
Authors: Boni Dafne Drumond , Gomes Rogério Miranda , Bellenzani Renata
Published: February 2025

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar as concepções acerca da cronicidade na saúde mental no campo da reforma psiquiátrica e da reabilitação psicossocial brasileira. Realizou-se uma revisão integrativa da produção científica contemporânea brasileira a respeito dessa temática. Como resultado, pode-se perceber que, para a literatura, a cronicidade é predominantemente determinada pela institucionalização e por determinadas formas de atenção ao sofrimento psíquico e às crises, que incluem: a permanência de práticas manicomiais de tutela e isolamento (as reinternações, levando à impermanência do sujeito no território); a assistência centrada nos diagnósticos psiquiátricos e nos medicamentos, e não na singularidade; fragmentação da assistência. Alguns autores chegaram a retratar uma nova cronicidade, com características como a porta-giratória e a vinculação permanente a ambulatórios, como uma evidência da falência das intenções da psiquiatria reformada. Superar a reprodução da cronicidade em saúde mental, segundo a literatura, envolve o cuidado em rede, territorializado, intersetorial, desmedicalizante, de forma a garantir o acompanhamento integral e em liberdade. Cabe destacar a presença irrisória, nos artigos, de reflexões sobre outras determinações, não assistenciais, do sofrimento psíquico permanente, como as transformações nas condições de vida e trabalho e a inserção em coletividades particulares (classe social, categorias profissionais, gênero, etnia/raça etc.).

Authors: Melo Cristiane Magalhães de , Soares Marcela Quaresma , Franco Ana Clara Rocha , Bevilacqua Paula Dias
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT The aim was to identify studies that evaluate policies, programs, or services for survivors of sex offenses, characterizing the types of evaluations conducted, the methodological strategies, and the sources of evidence used. An integrative literature review was conducted covering the period from 2012 to 2022, identified in national and international databases, using the descriptors “Sex Offenses” (OR) “Rape” (AND) “Evaluation” (OR) “Health Evaluation”. Twenty-three articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected. Most articles were produced in Latin American and Caribbean countries (43.5%) or African countries (17.4%), and were mainly published in English (65%). Most of the studies had a training purpose, focusing on the process (60.9%), of which only 34.8% mentioned a conceptual theoretical framework in the field of health evaluation. Quantitative methods were used in 60.9% of the studies, while qualitative methods were used in only 26.1%. No standardized instruments were identified to evaluate services for individuals experiencing sexual violence. The article concludes by recognizing the diversity and richness of approaches and methodological strategies for evaluating policies, programs, and services for women experiencing sexual violence. We suggest that the conceptual theoretical framework is enhanced as a fundamental aspect in conducting these studies.

RESUMO Objetivou-se identificar estudos avaliativos de políticas, programas ou serviços de atenção a sobreviventes de violência sexual, caracterizando os tipos de avaliação, as estratégias metodológicas e fontes de evidências utilizadas. Realizou-se revisão integrativa da literatura produzida entre 2012 e 2022, identificada em bases nacionais e internacionais, a partir dos descritores “Sex Offenses” (OR) “Rape” (AND) “Evaluation” (OR) “Health Evaluation”. Selecionaram-se 23 artigos que cumpriram os critérios de inclusão, em sua maioria, produzidos em países da América Latina e Caribe (43,5%) ou em países africanos (17,4%), publicados, principalmente, em inglês (65%). A maioria dos estudos (60,9%) tinha propósito formativo, com foco no processo, dos quais, apenas 34,8% mencionavam um quadro teórico conceitual no campo da avaliação em saúde. Os métodos quantitativos foram utilizados em 60,9% dos estudos, enquanto os métodos qualitativos foram utilizados em 26,1%. Não foram identificados instrumentos padronizados para avaliação de políticas, programas ou serviços de atenção a sobreviventes de violência sexual. Conclui-se reconhecendo a diversidade e a riqueza de abordagens e estratégias metodológicas para avaliar as políticas, os programas e serviços de atendimento às mulheres em situação de violência sexual. Sugere-se aprimorar a menção ao quadro teórico conceitual como aspecto fundamental na condução desses estudos.

Published: February 2025

The physical and chemical parameters of the water are critical for the life of aquatic biota. This study aimed to assess water quality in the Porong River estuary, Indonesia based on determining the physical and chemical parameters of the water, including the level of cadmium content, in the sediments and mollusks Corbula faba Hinds. This research was conducted in May - June 2019. The obtained results showed that the mean concentration of dissolved oxygen ranged from 8.7 to 14.2 mg/L, the mean temperature was 30.8-31.4°C, the salinity value was 9.0-30.6 ppt, and the pH value ranged from 7.80 to 8.46. It has been found that the Porong River estuary was slightly polluted, even though aquatic biota can still inhabit it. However, based on the atomic absorption spectrophotometry test, the mean values of cadmium content in the sediments and Corbula faba samples were 1.82 and 2.06 mg/kg, respectively. Based on the quality standards for sediments and aquatic biota, these mean values have exceeded the maximum threshold, indicating that the sediments and Corbula faba have been contaminated with the heavy metal cadmium.
Shedding Light on Survey Accuracy—A Comparison between SHED and Census Bureau Survey Results
Authors: Dasgupta Kabir , Shaalan Fatimah , Zabek Mike
Published: February 2025

The annual Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking (SHED) receives substantial research attention for topics related to household finances and economic well-being. To assess the reliability of data from the SHED, we compare aggregate statistics from the SHED with prominent, nationally representative surveys that use different survey designs, sample methodologies, and interview modes. Specifically, we compare recent statistics from the SHED with similar questions in U.S. Census Bureau surveys, including the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the American Community Survey (ACS). Overall, aggregate responses to the SHED benchmark well against nationally representative surveys, particularly for questions with nearly identical wording. However, we also note that subtle differences in wording of survey questions for broadly similar indicators can prompt moderate variations across data sources.

Prediction of the Performance of a Solution Gas Drive Reservoir by Muskat's Equation
Authors: Baca Apolonio
Published: February 2025

This report describes a digital computer program using a method developed by M.M. Muskat in 1945 to predict the performance of a solution gas drive reservoir. The program is written in ALGOL for the Burroughs B5500 computer.
Many questions regarding recoverable reserves, proper field development, optimum production rates, and possible pressure maintenance can be predicted in the early stages of reservoir development. Information on pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) data, as well as some reservoir rock properties, are necessary to obtain data on oil saturation, producing gas-oil ratio, and cumulative oil and gas production as a function of reservoir pressure. These data then may be used to plot the reservoir performance curves.
