Abstract

The adverse health scenario in the country, aggravated by the weakening of the Unified Health System (SUS), which, despite such a context, tries to face the greatest health tragedy in our recent history, has in this document a position for reflection by the Research Network in Primary Health Care (PHC) of ABRASCO, about Efficiency and Public Management in the context of PHC. These notes address the context of PHC and the worsening with the COVID-19 pandemic, reinforcing the importance of the debate on underfunding with public resources and aiming to enhance the social goals and values ​​that permeate universal and quality PHC. They also address the understanding of the concept of efficiency and its adoption in the context of PHC, focusing on the generation of services and care with human, material, physical and financial resources available for deliveries and resulting results. From this perspective, the premise that measuring efficiency is a way capable of stimulating optimal results with available resources will be addressed. In the case of PHC, the effects and impacts on other levels of care are measurable. Still, the discussion on Public Management in the context of PHC is carried out considering the different possible formats and their effects in light of the precepts advocated for universal and public health. Finally, these notes present a position for debate in the Rede APS.

Resumo: Alguns educadores e educandos estão descontentes com o atual sistema de ensino. Com as inúmeras transformações sociais a maneira de ensinar e aprender também foram modificando ao longo dos anos, assim tanto professores quanto alunos percebem algumas práticas pedagógicas como desatualizadas. Sabemos que as transformações são inevitáveis e necessárias, todavia o desafio fica estabelecido para os professores que necessitam adequar ensino, aprendizagem, tecnologias e sociedade às suas práticas diárias mudando ou reformulando sua didática. Dessa forma o presente artigo objetiva enfatizar a importância da didática, através de discussões acerca das linhas pedagógicas, da formação do professor e do papel da didática proporcionando reflexões que permitam novos olhares sobre o ensino-aprendizagem.  Mediante a esse contexto para lecionar é necessária formação didática? O domínio do conteúdo é mais importante para o desempenho do professor do que a didática? Apresenta-se um estudo de abordagem qualitativa através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica. Conclui-se, dessa forma, que como disciplina importante e fundamental a didática conduz o trabalho, unindo teoria e prática permitindo um processo de aprendizagem significativa.Palavras-chave: Didática; prática; formaçãoAbstrat: Some educators and students are unhappy with the current education system. With the countless social changes, the way of teaching and learning have also changed over the years, so that both teachers and students perceive some pedagogical practices as outdated. We know that transformations are inevitable and necessary, however the challenge is established for teachers who need to adapt teaching, learning, technologies and society to their daily practices by changing or reformulating their didactics. Thus, this article aims to emphasize the importance of didactics, through discussions about pedagogical lines, teacher training and the role of didactics providing reflections that allow new perspectives on teaching-learning. Through this context, to teach is didactic training necessary? Is the mastery of content more important for teacher performance than didactics? A study with a qualitative approach is presented through a bibliographic search. It is concluded, therefore, that as an important and fundamental discipline, didactics conduct the work, uniting theory and practice allowing a meaningful learning process.Keyword: Didactics - practice - training
O Impacto dos Sintomas Orais Gerados por Quimioterapia e Radioterapia / The Impact of Oral Symptoms Generated by Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy
Authors: Novais Denise Medeiros , Epitácio Henrique Aguiar Silva , Pinchemel Edite Novais Borges
Published: January 2022

Os primeiros efeitos da radioterapia e da quimioterapia antineoplásica acontecem sobre as células do epitélio oral, as quais sofrem rápida proliferação. O tamanho destes efeitos depende de muitos fatores ligados ao tratamento, ao paciente e ao tumor. No que se trata do paciente, interferem nesse processo o seu estado geral de saúde, presença de comorbidades, sexo, estado nutricional, idade, fatores sociais e psicológicos, além de hábitos deletérios e patologias orofaciais preexistentes. Esses adoecimentos na integridade bucal devem-se a veracidade de que a radioterapia e quimioterapia não são capazes de destruir as células tumorais sem lesionar células normais. O tratamento oncológico pode provocar reações adversas na cavidade oral, e é comum, em pacientes oncológicos submetidos ao tratamento antineoplásico, o desenvolvimento de agravamentos orais agudos ou tardios.---The first effects of radiotherapy and antineoplastic chemotherapy happen on the cells of the oral epithelium, which quickly notice proliferation. The size of these effects depends on many factors related to the treatment, the patient, and the tumor. With regard to the patient, this process interferes with their general health status, presence of comorbidities, gender, nutritional status, age, social and psychological factors, in addition to deleterious habits and pre-existing orofacial pathologies. These illnesses in the oral integrity are due to the veracity that radiotherapy and chemotherapy are not capable of destroying tumor cells without normal cells. Oncological treatment can cause adverse reactions in the oral cavity, and it is common, in cancer patients, to antineoplastic treatment, to develop acute or late oral aggravations.

Resumo: As espécies Averrhoa bilimbi (birí-birí) e Averrhoa carambola (carambola) pertencem à família das Oxalidaceae, o fruto que é cultivado em vários países da América do Sul. Estas frutas são habitualmente consumidas pela população, seja na forma de sucos, geléias, doces e conservas. O grande problema é que seus consumos exagerados podem causar efeitos tóxicos que são desconhecidos pela população em geral, necessitando assim de maiores conhecimentos sobre a toxicidade destas plantas. Assim a presente pesquisa trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura onde; após analisar os descritores em sites de busca na internet e aplicar os critérios de inclusão e exclusão pré-estabelecidos, foram selecionados um total de 14 artigos. Todos os artigos selecionados contemplavam de informações sobre a nefrotoxicidade dos frutos desencadeadas pela presença de sais de oxalato; bem como descreveram a neurotoxicidade na carambola desencadeada pela presença da caramboxina. Assim, observa-se a necessidade do conhecimento sobre os respectivos efeitos tóxicos dessas frutas e do conhecimento etnobotânico atribuído ao profissional farmacêutico que propaga informações sobre o uso racional da fitoterapia.Palavras-chave: Averrhoa bilimbi. Averrhoa carambola. Nefrotoxicidade. Neurotoxicidade. Abstract: The species Averrhoa bilimbi (biri biri) and Averrhoa carambola (star fruit) belong to the Oxalidaceae Family, the fruit is cultivated in several South American countries. These fruits are usually consumed by the population, whether in the form of juices, jellies, candy or preserve. The big problem is that the excessive consumption can cause toxic effects that are unknown by the general population, being necessary better knowledge about the toxicity of these plants. Thus, this research is about the integrative literature revision where; after analyzing the descriptors on websites and apply the pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 14 articles were selected. All selected articles contemplated the information about the nephrotoxicity of the fruits trigged by the presence of oxalate salt; as well as described the neurotoxicity of the star fruit trigged by the presence of caramboxin. In that way, there is a need for knowledge about these respective toxic effects of these fruits and for ethnobotanical knowledge assigned to the pharmacist that spreads information about the rational use of herbal medicine. Keywords: Averrhoa bilimbi.

Segundo o Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (IPEA) e Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílio (PNAD), a desigualdade no Brasil está intimamente relacionada com a pobreza, mormente em razão da considerável diferença na distribuição de renda no país. Nesse sentido, mesmo que o Brasil detenha grande crescimento econômico, isso não irá melhorar a condição social do país, sem um enfrentamento mais efetivo que leve em conta uma distribuição mais justa de renda. Esta realidade, que foi, histórica e culturalmente constituída, precisa com urgência elaborar políticas públicas estruturantes, capazes de atuar de forma articulada, ampliando o acesso dos cidadãos aos  direitos legalmente postos,  que possam proporcionar uma mais adequada qualidade de vida.---According to the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA) and the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD), inequality in Brazil is closely related to poverty, mainly because of the importance of the difference in income distribution in the country. In this sense, even if Brazil has great economic growth, this will not improve the social condition of the country, without a more effective confrontation that takes into account a fairer distribution of income. This reality, which has been historically and culturally fulfilled, urgently needs to develop structuring public policies, capable of acting in an articulated manner, expanding citizens' access to legally established rights, which can provide a more adequate quality of life.

Repurposing Dihydroartemisinin-Piperaquine-Doxycycline as an Antimalarial Drug: A Study in Plasmodium berghei-Infected Mice
Authors: Georgewill Udeme Owunari , Adikwu Elias
Published: January 2022

Artemisinin-based combination (ACT) therapy is the mainstay for malaria treatment. However, Plasmodium parasite with decreased susceptibility to ACT has emerged. Hence, it is imperative to discover new drugs or explore new drug combinations that can decrease Plasmodium parasite resistance. This study assessed the antiplasmodial activity of dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine- doxycycline (D-P-DX) on mice infected with Plasmodium berghei. Swiss albino mice (25-30g) of both sexes inoculated with 1x107 Plasmodium berghei intraperitoneally were used. The mice were randomly grouped and orally treated with DX (2.2 mg/kg), D-P (1.71/13.7 mg/kg) and D-P-DX daily in curative, suppressive and prophylactic studies. The negative and the positive controls were treated daily with normal saline (0.2mL) and chloroquine (CQ) (10mg/kg), respectively. After treatment, blood samples were assessed for percentage parasitemia, hematological and lipid parameters. Also, the mice were observed for mean survival time. D-P, DX, and D-P-DX produced significant decreases in percentage parasitemia at p<0.05, p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively when compared to negative control.  In the curative study, D-P, DX, and D-P-DX produced 64.9%, 71.1%, and 93.6% parasitemia inhibitions when compared to 70.0% inhibition produced by CQ.  Plasmodium berghei -induced alterations in packed cell volume, white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels were significantly restored by DX (p<0.05) and D-P (p<0.01) and D-P-DX (p<0.001) when compared to the negative control. D-P-DX showed significant antiplasmodial activity against Plasmodium berghei- infected mice. It may be clinically useful for the treatment of malaria.
A Physical Chemistry Study of Black Powder Materials by Solution Combustion Synthesis Method
Authors: Hidayanti Fitria , Lestari Kiki R. , Sujani Nano , Raharjo Jarot
Published: January 2022

A study on the synthesis of black powder (La2NiO4) material using the solution combustion synthesis method at a variation of synthesis temperature of 60, 70, and 80Â°C was carried out. It produces a mass of black powder of 2 grams by four times of synthesis process. Then, material characterization was performed on the black powder samples obtained by using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) to determine the phases formed, Scanning Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) to determine the morphology and analyze the composition elemental on the microscale and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) to determine chemical bonds. From the whole black powder sample, XRD analysis showed the phases of Dilantanum Nickel Tetraoxide (La2NiO4), Nickel Oxide (NiO), Lanthanum Oxide (La2O3), and Lanthanum Oxide Ht x-form (La2O3 Ht (x-form)). In addition, it was seen from the visible compositions of the phases that the NiO phase looks more dominant and the variation of the synthesis temperature shows that the La2O3 phase was increasing. This was supported by the EDS analysis, which showed that the EDS spectrum contains elements La, Ni, and O where the element O indicates that oxidation occurs in the elements Ni and La. On the other hand, the SEM analysis results confirm that the black powder sample contains the elements La and Ni, based on the high and low electron images contained in the morphology of the black powder sample. In addition, it was also known that the particles in the black powder sample were micron size and had porous morphology. This occurs due to rapid thermal decomposition events and excessive gas development. In addition, FTIR analysis showed that the O-H bond had been reduced and there are still C-O and C-H bonds indicating the presence of organic elements possessed by glycine.
APPLICATION OF INCLINED LONGITUDINAL ULTRASONIC WAVES TO IMPROVE THE EFFICIENCY OF RAIL FLAW DETECTION
Authors: Markov A. A. , Mosyagin V. V. , Molotkov S. L. , Ivanov G. A.
Published: January 2022

The article is devoted to the question of rail ultrasonic testing confidence. At present there is a range of flaw orientation angles in within which the testing is absent and, therefore such flaws can be lost. To except this drawback the current sound testing scheme in flaw detector railcars is to be supplemented with inclined probes exciting longitudinal wave. Experimental checks using echomethod showed the good results on an October railway section with flaw models and on a loaded Zabaycalskaya railway section. The next step was idea of mirror-shadow method using as well as echomethod by turning of probes towards each other. Envelope analysis of bottom signals allows receiving additional information about flaws: location depth of its center and form. But using of pair of probes was not enough for unambiguous definition of other geometric flaws characteristics. That is why the bottom signal envelope of straight probe was to be analyzed additionally. A mobile (as well removable) searching system of rail checking means has such probe as a rule. In the process of writing the article previously obtained formulas to calculate depth, inclination angle and plane size of revealed flaw were modified. Values changing during testing process are absent now. Algorithm of flaws identification on the basis of bottom signals envelope is given. The approach is confirmed by mathematical modeling in CIVA-UT.
METROLOGICAL SUPPORT FOR THE VERIFICATION OF MEDICAL INFRARED THERMOMETERS
Authors: Golobokov M. V.
Published: January 2022

The paper analyzes two methods of checking medical infrared thermometers – using the black body model and using the gray body model. The use of black body models provides the highest accuracy of temperature reproduction. Direct verification of infrared thermometers is not possible due to the discrepancy between the emissivity value entered in the infrared thermometer and the emissivity value of the black body. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for calculating corrections to the value of the temperature reproduced by the black body. The values of the corrections for different temperatures and emissivity introduced in infrared thermometers are given. Using the gray body model does not require any additional calculations. A model of a gray body with an emissivity from 0.94 to 0.99 has been developed and studied. The advantage of the proposed design is low cost, ease of practical application, and the possibility of simultaneous verification of infrared thermometers with different set emissivity values. For each of the methods, an algorithm for estimating the measurement uncertainty during verification is proposed. The results of the research can be used in testing medical infrared thermometers for type approval and the development of verification methods.
SPECTRAL DIAGNOSTICS OF THE HYDROCARBON FUEL COMBUSTION PROCESS
Authors: Vaganov M. A.
Published: January 2022

It is proposed to use the methods of applied optical spectroscopy to solve the problem of control and diagnostics of gaseous hydrocarbon fuel combustion in this work. The results of an experimental study of spectroscopic informative parameters characterizing the propane combustion process are presented for three modes: combustion of pure propane without air supply, stoichiometric combustion and combustion with a change in the amount of supplied air relative to stoichiometric combustion. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the most intense bands in the emission spectrum of the flame arising from the combustion of propane correspond to the spectral bands of radicals of combustion products: OH, CH, and C2. While the intensities of various systems of bands in the flame spectrum depend significantly on the composition of the combustible mixture.
SOME ASPECTS OF PRACTICAL BALANCING RIGID ROTORS IN OWN SUPPORTS
Authors: Sidorov V. A. , Gichun N. V
Published: January 2022

The balancing of rotors of fans, pumps, smoke exhausters, blowers (with a capacity of 50...500 kW, with a rotational speed of 950...3000 rpm) in their own supports is carried out most often at industrial enterprises. The effectiveness of this operation is ensured by the implementation of a number of rules, confirmed by practical experience. Some stages of balancing of rotors are considered in the work. A preliminary examination of the mechanism provides an accurate diagnosis and an informed decision for balancing. Correct determination of the angle of installation of the test cargo at various places of installation of the vibration and photo sensor allows reducing the level of vibration and additional loads on the elements of the mechanism during the test run. Controlling the values of the dynamic coefficient of influence during the balancing process allows you to control the change in the stiffness of the base, loosening of threaded connections, which are often the cause of unsuccessful balancing. The above provisions are confirmed by the results of research and practical application.

Poisson Log-Normal Model is one of the hierarchical mixed models that can be used for count data. Several estimation methods can be used to estimate the model parameters. The first objective of this study was to examine the performance of the parameter estimator and model built using the Hierarchical Bayes method via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) with simulation. The second objective was applied the Poisson Log-Normal model to the West Java illiteracy Cases data which is sourced from the Susenas data on March 2019. In 2019, the incidence of illiteracy is a very rare occurrence in West Java Province. So that, it is suitable as an application case in this study. The simulation results showed that the Hierarchical Bayes parameter estimator through MCMC has the smallest Root Mean Squared Error of Prediction (RMSEP) value and the absolute bias is relatively mostly similar when compared to the Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Penalized Quasi-Likelihood (PQL) methods. Meanwhile, the empirical results showed that the fixed variable is the number of respondents who have a maximum education of elementary school have the greatest risk of illiteracy. Also, the diversity of census blocks significantly affects illiteracy cases in West Java 2019.

Miejskie otwarte przestrzenie publiczne w kryzysie – percepcja i zachowania przestrzenne użytkowników w trakcie pandemii COVID-19
Authors: Wronkowski Adam , Główczyński Maciej
Published: January 2022

Sytuacja kryzysowa wywołana pandemią koronawirusa SARS-CoV-2 doprowadziła do zmian w funkcjonowaniu miejskich otwartych przestrzeni publicznych, które z jednej strony stały się obiektem obostrzeń i ograniczeń rządowych, a z drugiej przedmiotem lęków i strachu ich użytkowników przed przebywaniem w dużych skupi- skach ludzi. Zdaniem autorów wpływ pandemii widoczny jest przede wszystkim w zmianie odczuć i emocji związanych z przebywaniem w przestrzeni publicznej, zachowań przestrzennych użytkowników oraz sposobów jej postrzegania. Głównym celem artykułu jest określenie wpływu pandemii koronawirusa SARS-CoV-2 na postrzeganie oraz użytkowanie miejskich otwartych przestrzeni publicznych. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone metodą CAWI (n=317), uzupełnione o treści z indywidualnych wywiadów pogłębionych.
CLASSIFICATION OF SLAVIC LANGUAGES: EVOLUTION OF DEVELOPMENTAL MODELS
Authors: BLAŽEK VÁCLAV
Published: January 2022

The contribution summarizes nearly all the models of classification of the Slavic languages, presented in the past 350 years, from simple enumeration through the qualitative and quantitative approaches, typically leading to the developmental models depicted as tree-diagrams, as well as the linear and net models. The individual models, especially the quantitative ones, are discussed in detail and, finally, correlated with accounts of Byzantine historians.
ŚRODKOWODALMATYŃSKIE KONTAKTY JĘZYKOWE W PSICH PRZYPOWIASTKACH MILJENKA SMOJE. ZAPOŻYCZENIA LEKSYKALNE W GWARZE MIEJSKIEJ SPLITU
Authors: GIEL KARINA
Published: January 2022

This article has been written following a thesis in which I analyse borrowings from foreign languages in the urban dialect of Split, with references to Pasje novelete by Miljenko Smoje. To this end, I have conducted a lexical and etymological survey on the vocabulary excerpted from the book and I have delved into linguistic statistics. Consequently, I have documented the number and frequency of words borrowed from foreign languages. I also present a detailed calculation of the relationships between the borrowings and juxtaposed with the native vocabulary. In addition, I present a historical outline of the contacts between Croatian and other languages. I describe their intensity and the recent situation as reflected in the lexical area of the Croatian language. Finally, I make several comments on the semantic characteristics of loan words.
GAROWAĆ – O PEWNYM MAŁO ZNANYM, A WIELOZNACZNYM CZASOWNIKU
Authors: OSOWSKI BŁAŻEJ
Published: January 2022

Garować is a word which at present belongs primarily to the colloquial variety of the Polish language. Wielki słownik języka polskiego [The Great Dictionary of the Polish Language] mentions 6 meanings of the verb. However, this number does not exhaust the range. The goal of the article is to present the scope of the contemporary meanings of the word. To this end, an online questionnaire was distributed which produced 1,302 replies related to the subject of my interest. The article presents excerpted meanings arranged by prevalence (taking into consideration, if relevant, data of geographic and sociological nature). Next, a scheme of the meanings’ affiliation was suggested. Therefore, this text connects with the works using both the achievements of lexicography as well as empirical research into semantics, based on the ndata from the questionnaires.
(DIS)KONTINUITA ČEŠTINY 16.-18. STOLETÍ NA PŘÍKLADU HLÁSKOSLOVÍ
Authors: ŠIMEČKOVÁ MARTA
Published: January 2022

A majority of the earlier scholarly publications (literary and linguistic) contain negative assessments of the Czech language from the 17th and 18th centuries. This valuation is in accordance with the political, social, religious and cultural developments in Bohemia after the battle of White Mountain (Bílá hora) on 8 November 1620. Following the battle, the Habsburg Monarchy was established and Bohemia was yet again subjected to the Catholic Church. The function of the Czech language was limited with German becoming the main language spoken by the Bohemian aristocracy and city dwellers. German was the official language and, along with Latin, the language of science. As a result of the functional restrictions, Czech books were printed in limited literary fields, especially religious, historical and practically-oriented texts. The language in which they were written was described as degraded, unstable and incorrect. It was connected with the decline of the standard language, deformed by dialectisms, neologisms and an enormous number of loan words from German. However, is this interpretation of the Czech language from the 17th and 18th centuries correct? I have analysed over 100 prints from the 16th to the 18th centuries, focusing on four phonological phenomena: prothetic v-, dipthongisation ú- > ou- and ý (í) > ej and the change é > í. These changes occurred in texts from the 16th century (or even earlier), then some of them were repressed (ej, í in word ending, prothetic v-) or fixed as a part of Czech print (initial ou-, v- by words stabilized with this nonetymological consonant). It is evident that 1) there was continuous development instead of discontinuity, 2) the earlier negative estimation of the Czech language after 1620 was inaccurate. It is imperative to investigate the Czech language from a historical perspective in detail, without prejudice or ideology.
The Quasi-Empirical Epistemology of Mathematics
Authors: Shi Ellen Yunjie
Published: January 2022

This paper clarifies and discusses Imre Lakatos’ claim that mathematics is quasi-empirical in one of his less-discussed papers A Renaissance of Empiricism in the Recent Philosophy of Mathematics. I argue that (1) Lakatos’ motivation for classifying mathematics as a quasi-empirical theory is epistemological; (2) what can be called the quasi-empirical epistemology of mathematics is not correct; (3) analysing where the quasi-empirical epistemology of mathematics goes wrong will bring to light reasons to endorse a pluralist view of mathematics.
Familial adult myoclonic epilepsy (FAME): clinical features, molecular characteristics, pathophysiological aspects and diagnostic work-up
Authors: Peters Lorenz , Depienne Christel , Klebe Stephan
Published: January 2022

Familial adult myoclonic epilepsy (FAME) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by myoclonus and seizures. The genetic variant underlying FAME is an intronic repeat expansion composed of two different pentamers: an expanded TTTTA, which is the motif originally present at the locus, and an insertion of TTTCA repeats, which is usually located at the 3′ end and likely corresponds to the pathogenic part of the expansion. This repeat expansion has been identified so far in six genes located on different chromosomes, which remarkably encode proteins with distinct cellular localizations and functions. Although the exact pathophysiological mechanisms remain to be clarified, it is likely that FAME repeat expansions lead to disease independently of the gene where they occur. We herein review the clinical and molecular characteristics of this singular genetic disorder, which interestingly shares clinical features with other more common neurological disorders whose etiology remains mainly unsolved.
