Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Yang In-Seok , Lee Sang-Ha , Lee Chun-Su
Published: April 2024

This study analyzed the cases of smart factory construction by major domestic food companies. In addition, the expected effects that can be obtained through smart factories and the tasks and development directions for the spread of smart factories in the domestic food industry in the future were presented. As a result of the case study, major domestic food companies are achieving expected effects such as productivity and efficiency improvement, quality and stability improvement, waste reduction and sustainability increase, and flexible and customized production through smart factories. Moreover, in order for the domestic food industry to successfully spread the smart factory, it is necessary to consider the progress according to the smart factory configuration requirements by clarifying the definition of the performance that the smart factory wants to achieve and establishing detailed plans. In addition, it is essential to secure DT talent to operate the smart factory and prepare countermeasures against cyber threats for the successful operation of the smart factory. Finally, in order for smart factories to spread to amall and medium-sized companies, measures to reduce the time and cost of introducing smart factories to small and medium-sized companies are required.

Aim. To analyze clinical and anamnestic factors associated with the risk of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in patients with an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) with the development of a prognostic model based on the Kuzbass registry of patients with ICD.

Material and methods. Prospective follow-up of 260 patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (age 59 (53; 66) years, 214 (82,3%) men) from the Kuzbass registry of patients with ICD. Of them, 156 (60%) patients had ischemic cardiomyopathy, while the rest had non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. The mean follow-up period was 4,2±2,3 years after ICD implantation. The following basic information about patients were assessed: demographic data, social status, history of the underlying disease, concomitant diseases, vital signs, standard clinical and paraclinical parameters, drug therapy. During the follow-up period, all cases of ADHF and death were analyzed.

Results. A total of 54 (20,8%) patients died, of which 48 (88,9%) died due to ADHF. During the follow-up period, 34 patients were hospitalized for ADHF, of which 13 (38,2%) died. Thirty-five (13,5%) patients died in the prehospital stage due to ADHF that developed against the background of the underlying disease (10 (27%) had dilated cardiomyopathy, 1 (2,8%) — rheumatic mitral valve disease, 24 (68,6%) — ischemic cardiomyopathy). Thus, a total of 69 cases of ADHF were registered, which accounted for 26,5% of the total group. Mortality in general group from ADHF was 18,5%. According to the Kaplan-Meier curve, most deaths occurred during the first 1,5 years of follow-up.

The regression model for predicting the ADHF risk included left atrium size (p=0,05), male sex (p=0,001), NYHA class (p=0,0001), left ventricular ejection fraction <40% (p=0,0001), no intake of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (p=0,007) and amiodarone (p=0,028). The area under the ROC curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of the created model was 0,8, 69,2% and 80%, respectively.

Conclusion. A set of routine clinical and anamnestic factors has been identified that makes it possible to predict the risk of ADHF in patients with ICDs, which must be taken into account before making a decision to implant the device. Particular attention should be paid to mandatory therapy for heart failure, as the main modifiable risk factor for ADHF.

Aim. To investigate the polymorphic variants of IL10, FGF2, VEGFD, TRAIL, SELE, TNFA and TNFβ genes in patients with primary ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) (STEMI) and to evaluate their association with late post-infarction cardiac remodeling.

Material and methods. The study includes 74 patients age 61±10,7 years with primary STEMI. Percutaneous coronary intervention with restoration of infarct-related artery patency was performed in all patients after 60 (40; 80) minutes since admission to the hospital. Serum levels of fibroblast growth factor (FGF), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor family cytokines (TNF-α, TNF-β and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)) were measured with the Multiplex Instrument FLEXMAP 3D system (Luminex Corporation) and the MILLIPLEX Human Cytokine/Chemokine Panel II on the 1st, 7th day of early post-MI period and after 6 and 12 months. The late adverse cardiac remodeling was determined after 12 months of long-term post-MI period according to 2D echo­cardiography. The increase in left ventricular end-diastolic volume by 15% or more by 12 months was considered late adverse cardiac remodeling. The patients were genotyped by 16 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TNFβ, TNF, Il10, TNFRSF1B, VEGFD, TRAIL, FGF2, SELE genes.

Results. Adverse cardiac remodeling occurred in 19 patients (25,7%). The genetic association analysis revealed the significant association of rs1800629 TNFA (χ2=4,748; p=0,029), rs5353 SELE (χ2=10,85; p=0,004) and rs6632528 VEGFD (χ2=8,127; p=0,017) with an increased risk of STEMI. Higher concentration of IL-10 was detected on the 7th day of MI (p=0,05) and 6 months later (p=0,028) in A/T rs3024492 genotype carriers, as well as FGF in T/T rs13122694 genotype carriers by the 6th month after the event (p=0,04). The dependence of the main LV indicators on the distribution of polymorphism genotypes rs3024492 IL10, rs13122694 FGF2 and rs4830939 VGEFD was discovered. In the first 24 hours of MI in rs3024492 IL10 heterozygotes, LV contractile function was worse in comparison with T/T genotype carriers. Also, carriers of the T/T rs13122694 FGF2 genotype were distinguished by higher LV ejection fraction, longitudinal global LV deformation and lower of LV end-systolic index in the early post-infarction period. In the long-term post-infarction period, T/T rs4830939 VEGFD carriers differed in a greater LV dilation than carriers of the C/C and C/T genotypes.

Conclusion. The study showed the contribution of polymorphism of the inflammation system genes to a predisposition to STEMI — both at the levels of phenotype and individual signs.

Epidemiological aspects, accessible screening algorithm within outpatient monitoring, availability of modern cardiac and renal protective strategies make it possible to select this high-risk group as a priority for the implementation of effective targeted primary prevention and maintaining the trend of reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the medium- and long-term.
Single-pill combination of indapamide and perindopril: potential of practical application
Authors: Kochergina A. M. , Kashtalap V. V.
Published: April 2024

The effectiveness of blood pressure control can be increased with the use of single-pill combinations. When choosing an agent, the evidence of its components should be focused. The selection criteria are not only the direct effects of reducing blood pressure, but also organ protection and the impact on prognosis. Perindopril and indapamide have many years of experience in use in a wide range of patients and are used with the same effectiveness in the treatment of hypertension in young and elder­ly patients, in normal-weight and obese people, as tools for the primary prevention of myocardial infarction and stroke, and also as a way to prevent recurrent events.

The article provides data on the advantages of perindopril and indapamide, the potential of its single-pill combination, the pleiotropic and organ protective properties of this drug. We systematized results of related studies and reflected the main conclusions. Attention is paid to the latest data on the long-term effect of indapamide therapy on the risk of cardiovascular events.

Resumo Este estudo objetiva analisar as experiências de um homem trans durante o período gravídico-puerperal e a perspectiva de enfermeiras obstetras em formação, a partir das dinâmicas e da organização dos cuidados de saúde obstétricos em ambiente hospitalar. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, baseado em estudo de caso, em que utilizou entrevistas e observações diretas para a coleta das informações. A análise foi feita a partir do marco teórico e normativo do Processo de Enfermagem, da Teoria dos Cuidados e da perspectiva teórico/crítica do transfeminismo. Os resultados estão organizados em seis categorias: Homem trans em contexto de gestação, parto e puerpério; parceria e dimensões parentais; dilemas enfrentados pelo casal grávido; impressões registradas pela profissional de enfermagem; compreensão do caso sob a lente teórica e epistemológica; implicações para os profissionais da saúde. Destaca-se a necessidade de promover espaços de educação permanente junto aos profissionais da saúde e reformular legislações de maneira a viabilizar a elaboração de políticas públicas baseada no respeito à diversidade e cuidado equânime, reconhecendo as especificidades da população trans nos contextos da gestação, parto e puerpério.
Reproduction in cisgender same-sex couples: a scoping review
Authors: Domene Fernando Meirinho , Silva Jessica De Lucca Da , Toma Tereza Setsuko , Silva Adriano da , Gomes Romeu
Published: April 2024

Abstract The aim of this article is to present the state of the art, in the field of public health, on cis homoparental reproduction, from 28 studies addressing barriers to reproduction by homoparental couples for legal, ethical, technical or economic reasons, in addition to prejudice and discrimination. Six studies addressed facilitators, such as receptiveness in services, availability of conception and contraceptive methods and training of health professionals. The results show that the discussion has focused more on the barriers than on the facilitating factors. This may indicate a continuing need to problematise the hegemonic model of a heterosexual, nuclear family.
Who are the sexual and gender minorities who frequently interact with children and their association with healthcare
Authors: Oliveira Claudia Rafaella Santos , Sousa Carolina Campos Vieira de , Torres Juliana Lustosa
Published: April 2024

Abstract This study aimed to examine the sociodemographic profile of sexual and gender minorities who regularly interact with children and investigate whether such frequent interactions are associated with healthcare factors. This cross-sectional study utilized data from the LGBT+ Health Survey in Brazil, conducted online and anonymously from August to November 2020 with 958 participants. Regular interaction with children was defined as living with children or engaging in bi-weekly face-to-face meetings with children residing in different households. Healthcare factors encompass having a professional or reference service, feeling comfortable in discussing personal issues, and receiving worse quality medical or hospital care. The statistical analysis used the Poisson regression with robust variance. The prevalence of interaction with children was 5.3%. We observed a statistically higher prevalence among cisgender women (13.4%) and Black/brown and other non-white people (7.9%) after adjusting for age. The results showed a positive association only between regular interaction with children and worse-quality medical or hospital care received (PR=6.00; 95%CI 1.22-29.67). These findings highlight a persistent stigma and prejudice within healthcare services.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é apreender os desafios nas vivências dos usuários e profissionais de Banco de Leite Humano no atendimento a homens transgêneros no contexto da amamentação sob à luz da Interseccionalidade. Estudo qualitativo descritivo-exploratório a partir de entrevistas realizadas com seis profissionais do Banco de Leite Humano, que atenderam previamente homens trans no contexto de amamentação, e dois homens trans bissexuais, que amamentaram ao peito. Os dados foram tratados pela Análise Temática com auxílio do software Atlas.ti versão 9.0. Observam-se lacunas nas esferas educacionais, institucionais e na gestão, associadas a questões pessoais e sociais, que reproduzem um modelo pré-concebido normativo, desconsiderando as singularidades requeridas no atendimento à população trans no contexto da amamentação. A cisheteronormatividade e a supremacia do profissional operam em âmbitos pessoais, sociais e institucionais para a segregação de homens transgêneros nos serviços de suporte à amamentação. A análise interseccional destes desafios permite uma visão global dos fatores de segregação e a implementação de políticas públicas promotoras da justiça social.

Published: April 2024

Resumo Este estudo visa elucidar os desafios enfrentados no exercício da parentalidade homoafetiva masculina por meio de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Seguindo as recomendações PRISMA, foram analisados estudos empíricos dos últimos 22 anos, extraídos das bases de dados PubMed e APA PsychNet. Os descritores “Homosexuality, Male” e “Father” foram empregados para a seleção de artigos relevantes, processo realizado independentemente por dois pesquisadores. Os resultados indicam uma complexidade nas experiências parentais de homens homossexuais, variando entre desafios significativos, como estigmas e preconceitos sociais, e situações sem dificuldades notáveis. A decisão de assumir a paternidade nesse grupo é fortemente influenciada por fatores específicos à realidade homoafetiva, inserida em um contexto social frequentemente não acolhedor. Os achados destacam a importância de compreender as interações entre aspectos individuais, sociais e culturais na formação da homoparentalidade masculina. Este estudo sublinha a necessidade de políticas e práticas inclusivas e sensíveis à diversidade, visando o apoio ao bem-estar familiar em contextos homoafetivos.
Digital activism about gay fatherhood on Instagram: male homoparenting in the picture
Authors: Mesquita Juliana Araujo , Nascimento Marcos Antonio Ferreira do
Published: April 2024

Abstract In contemporary Brazil, the number of male fathers taking care of their sons and daughters and the initiatives to produce content about fatherhood on Instagram have been significant. This article aims to analyze the concepts that support the digital activism of homoparenting on Instagram, based on gender studies with men. To this end, a qualitative study was conducted using the life narrative method in a digital environment. The results were analyzed and divided into the following sections: parenting project, personal experience of fatherhood, articulation with LGBT political agenda when parenthood becomes a “business”, and haters, criticism, and adverse reactions. It was concluded that the reflection on the experience of fatherhood/masculinity itself is crossed by the social marker of the difference in sexual orientation and the activism for rights that sustain content production. Thus, the uniqueness of each fatherhood is highlighted since the fact of being gay constructs the fatherhood experience for each man. Despite the initiatives brought forth in this study, changes are still in progress, as rights activism coexists with the advancement of conservative forces, which limit the expressions of sexual and gender otherness.

Resumo Buscou-se compreender os sentidos e significados do exercício parental entre homens trans que engravidaram antes da transição de gênero por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual participaram cinco interlocutores, cuja análise foi realizada à luz das teorias sociais de gênero. Os resultados demonstraram uma experiência parental sujeitada a um campo de tensão e negociações, além de uma produção subjetiva que oscilava entre a transgressão e a acomodação da perspectiva cultural da sua própria vivência. Identificou-se práticas de violências que reiteraram as vulnerabilidades sociais, deflagraram as fragilidades dos serviços de saúde e provocaram efeitos deletérios em homens trans que engravidam antes da transição de gênero.

The overcoming of the monogamous family is through the community! Non-monogamous parenting of sex-gender-diverse people
Authors: Santana Alef Diogo da Silva , Galdino Adriane Soares , Araújo Ednaldo Cavalcante de
Published: April 2024

Abstract Sex-gender-diverse and non-monogamous strain cisnormativity and mononormativity. In scientific terms, the parenting arrangements of these people are uncertain. Thus, this ethnography aims to understand the perception of non-monogamous sex-gender-diverse people about parenting. The theoretical framework adopted is derived from non-monogamous studies, love and sexuality from the Social and Human Sciences in Public Health and the digital ethnography methodological framework. Fieldwork occurred from 2021 to 2022 through an online WhatsApp group. Participant observation was employed in the group, and semi-structured online interviews were held. Two categories emerged: a) The non-monogamous parenting nodes and b) Collective parenting. In the first, the importance of bonds in affective networks is explored, and the barriers to these family arrangements are exposed. The second describes the importance of living in a community, and Indigenous and Black ancestry is revived. The revived ancestry and ways of living in a community gain importance as we understand their relevance in the experience of parenting for sex-gender-diverse people who are non-monogamous.
A territorialidade da Atenção Básica à Saúde do SUS: a difusão das clínicas médicas populares na Região Metropolitana de Belém, Pará, Brasil
Authors: Godoy Claudiana Viana , Rocha Gilberto de Miranda
Published: April 2024

Resumo O artigo apresenta uma análise sobre a difusão das clínicas médicas populares nos municípios que compõem a Região Metropolitana de Belém (RMB). Com o propósito de compreender as razões e as origens do avanço do setor de saúde popular, promoveu-se uma investigação sobre a atuação da rede de atenção básica à saúde (ABS) do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). A discussão se fundamenta na revisão de dados primários e secundários, captados via trabalho de campo nas 119 clínicas populares da RMB e via informações do DATASUS. Constatou-se que o setor das clínicas de saúde popular foi beneficiado amplamente nos últimos anos, mediante a intensificação do subfinanciamento do SUS, em particular da rede de ABS, que passa por um processo de fragmentação, responsáveis pela redução e pela desarticulação das equipes multiprofissionais de ABS, além das perdas apresentadas no setor de saúde suplementar. As clínicas populares seguem um modelo assistencial inacabado e contraditório, criado pela própria iniciativa privada para o preenchimento da demanda reprimida do SUS em razão de o acesso a essas instituições não garantir uma assistência universal e gratuita ou assegurar um tratamento continuo, motivo pelo qual uma ampla parcela destes usuários é devolvida ao SUS.

Published: April 2024

RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar las representaciones sociales de la soledad en adultos mayores. Método: investigación exploratoria, cualitativa, aplicando la Teoría de las Representaciones Sociales, realizada en Lambayeque, Perú. Se aplicó cuestionario sociodemográfico y se realizó entrevista en profundidad empleando instrumento semiestructurado, con 32 adultos mayores de 70 años o más, 50% de cada sexo. Se aplicó estadística simple y análisis porcentual a los datos sociodemográficos. Las entrevistas fueron analizadas mediante el software Alceste, practicándoseles análisis lexicográfico. Resultados: las representaciones negativas hacen referencia a relaciones sociales frágiles o disminuidas, con apoyo emocional insuficiente, vulnerabilizando a los adultos mayores. Las positivas hacen referencia a actividades placenteras sin presencia de otras personas, asumiendo la soledad como adecuada para la intimidad, para oír el silencio, tener armonía y paz, para conectarse internamente y asumir una vida agradable, valorar la vida y fortalecer la dimensión espiritual. Conclusión: hay una dialéctica en la concepción de la soledad, que es negativa cuando se refiere al contexto social, a las relaciones del anciano con los demás; y positiva cuando representa una oportunidad de abrazar la soledad y realizar actividades placenteras sin depender de terceras personas. Es imprescindible fomentar tales aspectos positivos en el cuidado de las personas ancianas.

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution of the incidence rates of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Methods: An ecological study with an analytical component of time series analysis was conducted in the state of Paraná from 2007 to 2022. The data source was the Notifiable Diseases Information System. To study the trend, the Prais–Winsten generalized linear regression model was used by decomposing the time series, and for spatial analysis, the Moran's index was applied. Results: The total sample consisted of 50,676 HIV/AIDS records. The incidence rate showed an increasing trend, with an average growth of 2.14% [95% confidence interval – 95%CI 1.16–3.13] per month. From 2007 to 2014 and from 2015 to 2022, the average number of cases in the state was 105.64 and 159.20 per 100,000 inhabitants, respectively, with significant variation among municipalities. Spatial clusters of high risk persisted in the metropolitan region, the capital, and coastal areas, and a new cluster was observed in the northern region of the state. Conclusion: The incidence rates of HIV/AIDS showed an upward trend over time. The number of cases varied considerably in some municipalities, especially in the coastal region. Spatial analysis revealed geospatial patterns of high risk in the main metropolitan areas of Paraná: Curitiba (including the coastal area), Londrina, and Maringá, which share characteristics such as a high degree of urbanization and ongoing economic development.

Resumo Nosso propósito é analisar o Brasil Carinhoso, de 2012 a 2015, a partir das lentes teóricas da transversalidade e da intersetorialidade, destacando, ainda, as dimensões do cuidado. O Brasil Carinhoso foi uma iniciativa federal voltada ao desenvolvimento infantil, articulando educação, saúde, assistência social e nutrição. Com base em uma análise qualitativa de documentos oficiais e de entrevistas, evidenciamos uma concepção intersetorial do programa, abrangendo inovações no financiamento e na gestão, ainda que sua implementação tenha sido, em grande medida, setorial. A transversalidade de gênero não foi identificada, nem mesmo na concepção da iniciativa analisada, especialmente porque as abordagens de cuidado do Brasil Carinhoso deixam de considerar quem cuida, enfocando apenas quem é cuidado.

Published: April 2024

Abstract Information regarding organism changes due to the variation of abiotic factors such as salinity are essential in both ecotoxicological and environmental monitoring studies. For this reason, the Brazilian silverside (Atherinella brasiliensis) embryos were exposed to different salinity conditions (10–35) for 12 days and changes at molecular and individual levels were assessed. The embryos did not present alterations in the morphology or hatching during their development. However, they showed an increase in heart rate after seven days, close to the hatching period. The expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (cftr), one of the channels responsible for osmoregulation, was cloned and it was not significantly affected by the exposure. The obtained results indicated that the Brazilian silverside embryos acclimate in a broad range of salinities and can be used to study fish response at environmentally relevant conditions. In addition, this species can be used to assess the risk related to chemical compounds which toxicity may vary in different salinity conditions.

Abstract This study evaluated the anesthetic activity of essential oil from Lippia alba (EOLA), linalool chemotype in a euryhaline fish (fat snook Centropomus parallelus). In the first experiment, fish were exposed to 30, 80, 130, 180, 200, and 230 µL EOLA L−1. The second experiment evaluated smaller and larger fish with 180 µL EOLA L-1. In the third experiment, ventilatory rates (VR) for up to 120 min in animals during exposure to 5 and 10 µL EOLA L−1 were evaluated. In the fourth experiment, fish anesthetized with 30 and 180 µL EOLA L-1 were assessed at 0, 30, and 60 min after anesthesia recovery to evaluate biochemical and antioxidant parameters. The best mild and deep anesthesia times were obtained with 30 and 180 µL EOLA L-1, and larger fish had the highest times. The VR increased in fish exposed to EOLA. Blood glucose and whole-body cortisol levels were higher in fish anesthetized with 180 µL EOLA L-1. Fish exposed to EOLA had higher liver glutathione S-transferase and superoxide dismutase activities without affecting catalase and lipid peroxidation levels. The 180 µL EOLA L-1 is recommended for fat snook anesthesia because it increases VR, blood glucose, and whole-body cortisol levels and prevents oxidative stress.

Abstract The southern region of Brazil is rich in hydric and biogeographic resources, contributing to the formation of distinct ichthyofaunistic niches and facilitating the isolation of some species. Despite the great ecological importance, there are few cytogenetic and molecular studies on the ichthyofauna of these basins. Therefore, specimens of Ancistrus abilhoai and Hemiancistrus fuliginosus were analyzed by combining cytogenetic and mitochondrial markers. Cytogenetic analysis revealed a diploid number of 2n = 48 for A. abilhoai and 2n = 56 for H. fuliginosus and Sites rDNA (by fluorescent in situ hybridization-FISH) were identified with 18S and 5S probes in synteny in pair 16 of A. abilhoai. At the same time in H. fuliginosus, these sites are located in separate pairs. Considering the Ancistrus cluster, based on COI molecular data, specimens of A. abilhoai were close to A. cirrhosushaving as sister group A. multispinis and A. brevipinnis. Regarding Hemiancistrus, H. fuliginosus specimens showed the same haplotype as the sequences of this species, available in the database, forming a distinct clade with H. aspidolepis as a sister group. The results of our work helped to better define the taxonomic status of A. abilhoai and H. fuliginosus, species endemic to southern Brazil and which have few studies within their respective genera.
Discriminating Scleromystax barbatus (Siluriformes: Callichthyidae) populations from Atlantic Rainforest streams employing otolith shape
Authors: Dalcin Roger Henrique , Abilhoa Vinícius
Published: April 2024

Abstract This study assessed the lapillus otolith shapes of males and females of Scleromystax barbatus from southern and southeastern regions in the Atlantic Rainforest biome employing Fourier and Wavelet descriptors. The utricular otoliths of S. barbatus are ovoid, with the gibbus maculae occupying almost all the ventral portion, similar to most Callichthyidae species. Otoliths of males and females of S. barbatus from the southeastern studied region are more elongated in the anterior-posterior direction and present larger sulcus and gibbus maculae, with heterogeneous borders. We found no sexual-based dimorphism in otolith shape within regions, however regional differences were registered and attributed to variations in fish life history mediated by differences in environmental factors (e.g., climatic conditions) between the southern and southeastern regions in the Atlantic Rainforest biome.
