Authors: Oliveira Raiane Melo de , Oliveira Andressa Suelly Saturnino de , Frota Natasha Marques , Felipe Gilvan Ferreira
Published: June 2024

Objective: To evaluate Primary Health Care professionals' knowledge about compulsory notification diseases and health problems. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted between August and December 2021 with 30 Primary Health Care professionals from Tauá - Ceará. A questionnaire was used for the sociodemographic and professional characterization and for the knowledge assessment of compulsory notification diseases and health problems. The data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Of the 30 participants, six (20.0%) correctly identified all items with compulsory notification diseases and health problems. The following was properly identified by almost all participants: dengue (27; 90.0%); leprosy (26; 86.7%); and tuberculosis (26; 86.7%). Severe work-related accidents (17; 56.7%), domestic violence (17; 56.7%) and schistosomiasis (17; 56.7%) obtained the lowest proportions of correct identification. The professionals that had greater knowledge about compulsory notification concepts and guidelines were also those who were able to properly identify more diseases and health problems (rs=0.475; p=0.008). Conclusion: The professionals have difficulty identifying compulsory notification diseases and health problems, especially those with little prevalence in the municipality where they work and problems such as domestic violence and severe work-related accidents. Investing in the permanent education of professionals can contribute to reducing underreporting.

Objective: To evaluate the consumption of psychoactive substances by health workers from the Mobile Urgency Care Service. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted at a Public Health service located in a city in Piauí. Data collection took place from January to March 2019 by applying the following instruments in personal interviews: one with occupational, sociodemographic and economic characteristics; and the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST). The data were organized and processed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software (version 19.0). Results: Of the 68 health professionals, 42 were male, with a mean age of 49.8 years old. Among them, 44 were married and 48 were Catholics. The most prevalent professional category was Nursing Technician, accounting for 46.2%. Among these workers, alcohol was the most used psychoactive substance (54 professionals), followed by tobacco consumption (25) and hypnotics (8). It is noted that tobacco was the substance most commonly used on a daily basis. Conclusion: Consumption of psychoactive substances among health professionals was evident and can be related to the pressure resulting from these positions. Attention is drawn to the importance of expanding this debate and addressing health workers' mental health.

Published: June 2024

Objective: To evaluate the knowledge and practice of nurses from primary health care units about autism spectrum disorder. Method: Cross-sectional, quantitative study with 42 primary care nurses from Teresina, Piauí. A questionnaire on professional characteristics and knowledge was used. Simple frequency analyses and associations between variables were performed, adopting a maximum likelihood test with p‹0.05. Results: There was a predominance of nurses aged 23 to 72 years, female (95.2%) and with more than ten years of experience (78.6%). Most (95.2%) reported insufficient knowledge during the graduation, 88.1% assisted or suspected of children with characteristics of autism spectrum disorder in childcare consultations, 85.7% did not know screening instruments and none received training from the service. Medium level of knowledge (66.7%) prevailed, but with deficits in content on characteristics and etiology. There was a statistically significant association between level of knowledge and age group (p=0.033). Conclusion: There is a need for appropriate undergraduate training and continuing education for professionals.

Published: June 2024

Objective: To analyze the potential and weaknesses of nurses in the provision of high-risk prenatal care. Methods: Qualitative research, carried out with six nurses from the high-risk outpatient clinic of a reference maternity hospital in the municipality of Teresina, Piauí. Data were collected from February to March 2020 through semi-structured interviews and examined according to content analysis. Results: Nurses can provide high-risk prenatal care with emotional support, embracement and educational practices that directly impact maternal morbidity and mortality. The potentialities were the adequate physical space and the length of service in the institution and the fragility was the lack of nursing consultation. Conclusion: It was evidenced that nurses do not fully develop all the practices recommended by the Ministry of Health. Despite this, there is potential in the performance, namely, their acquired knowledge, and physical space, and the materials. These aspects facilitate the development of care practices that can promote a healthy birth and reduce maternal mortality. In addition, nurses aim for recognition and greater protagonism in specialized prenatal care.

Published: June 2024

Objective: To evaluate the predictive validity of the EVARUCI scale for intensive care patients. Methods: This is a retrospective longitudinal study with secondary data carried out in a reference ICU in neurology and trauma-orthopedics. The study population consisted of all users who were admitted to the ICU between January and December 2020, excluding those with a length of stay of less than 48 hours, and those who died as an outcome. Data were collected regarding admission, the first 48 hours of hospitalization and discharge. Results: The profile found was of young men, victims of external causes. The incidence of PI was 18.9%, higher EVARUCI scores were recorded on admission. The sensitivity of the test was 90.9% and 72.73%, the specificity was 16.9% and 48.9%, the positive predictive validity was 20.27% and 24.74%, and the negative validity was 88.89% and 88.46% at admission and first 48 hours, respectively. Conclusion: The scale was unable to satisfactorily predict high risk. However, it was satisfactory to predict the low risk for PI, patients who scored less than 10 on the scale were less likely to develop the lesions.

Published: June 2024

Objective: To understand the perceptions and practices of the nursing team in assisting people in palliative care with neoplastic wounds. Method: A descriptive study with a qualitative approach, carried out with 12 nursing professionals working in a Level II High Complexity Oncology Hospital, located in the interior of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 2022. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed according to the method proposed by Bardin. Results: Three thematic categories emerged: Nursing care that transcends the management of neoplastic wounds; The role of the nursing team in the assessment and care of neoplastic wounds; and Feelings that involve nursing professionals in the context of palliative care. Conclusion: It is essential to approach the person holistically. The management of neoplastic wounds has its own particularities, since pain is a symptom that usually accompanies the lesion, in addition to the odor and discomfort that the person and their family may feel. Palliative care is relevant to help manage the symptoms of these lesions. Workers often experience feelings such as anguish, fear, sadness and frustration.

Published: June 2024

Hypercholesterolemia, characterized by elevated levels of total cholesterol, is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, necessitating the exploration of natural interventions to mitigate dyslipidemia and its associated health risks. This study aimed to investigate the potential influence of orange peel extract in water on total cholesterol fluctuations in HFD-induced mice. This study used a true experimental design to investigate the effects of dietary interventions on total cholesterol levels in a female mice model. A total of 18 adult mice were utilized for this research, and they were divided into three distinct groups. The allocation of mice into these groups was as follows: Control Group (n=6): The first group served as the control and received only Aquades (sterile water). High-Fat Diet (HFD) Group (n=6) as named HFD only: The second group consisted of mice that were exclusively fed a high-fat diet (HFD) for a total of 17 days. Orange Peel Extract Group (n=6): The third group, also exposed to the HFD for an initial 10-day period, was subsequently administered orange peel extract for seven days. The total cholesterol levels of the mice that were given orange peel extract decreased from 109 ± 7.43 mg/dL to 96.5 ± 10.07 mg/dL after the intervention. This decrease was statistically significant (p < 0.05). the risk of high total cholesterol levels in mice that were given orange peel extract was 33.3%, compared to 83.3% in mice that were given aquades and 50% in mice that were still on a high-fat diet (HFD). , the results of this study suggest that orange peel extract may offer a natural and accessible approach to address dyslipidemia and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. While further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore their applicability to human health.

Published: June 2024

Customer value is an important marketing strategy aspect that refers to the evaluation of products that meet value and satisfaction. Hospital has intangible characteristics of services so trust is needed. Hospitals need to instill credibility to the extent that customers believe that they can provide service products that satisfy customer needs. This study aims to determine the effect of customer value and hospital trust on repeat visits at Bekasi Public Hospital. The type of research is a quantitative observational cross-sectional using random sampling. PLS-SEM was used to evaluate the data of 125 respondents who were patients outpatient. The results of this study indicate that customer value has an effect on satisfaction, trust has an effect on satisfaction, customer value and satisfaction have an effect on the revisit intention, and trust has no effect on the revisit intention. Customer value can affecttsatisfaction and revisit intention and trust affect patient satisfaction, but trust does not directly affect intention to revisit. Satisfaction can affect the patient's revisit intention.

Authors: Sinap Vahid
Published: June 2024

Loan prediction plays an important role in the process of evaluating loan applications by financial institutions. Machine learning models can automate this process and make the lending process faster and more efficient. In this context, the main objective of this research is to develop models for loan approval prediction using machine learning algorithms such as Logistic Regression, K-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machine, Decision Tree, and Random Forest and to compare their performances. In addition, determining the effect of K-Best and Recursive Feature Elimination feature selection methods on model performances is another important objective of the research. Furthermore, the evaluation of the effectiveness of techniques such as cross-validation (K-Fold) and Train, Test and Validation in measuring the performance of models is also among the objectives of the research. The findings revealed that married individuals are more likely to be approved for loans than single individuals, high income individuals more likely than low-income individuals, males more likely than females, and university graduates more likely than non-university graduates. According to the performance measures, Random Forest was the most successful algorithm with an accuracy rate of 97.71% in loan approval prediction. To achieve this accuracy rate, feature selection was performed with the Recursive Feature Elimination method and the measurement was made with the cross-validation method. It was found that the feature selection methods have a significant impact on the model performances and the Recursive Feature Elimination method was the most successful method. Moreover, the highest accuracy rate achieved by the Random Forest algorithm, which showed the highest performance in all cases, was measured by cross-validation.
Jaime I o Conquistador e as relações sociopolíticas na Coroa de Aragão (1208-1276)
Authors: Silva Lucas Augusto Tavares da
Published: June 2024

Esta obra investiga o longínquo reinado de Jaime I de Aragão, o Conquistador, que se estendeu por mais de seis décadas e foi assinalado por uma série de eventos de natureza política, como disputas pelo poder, insurreições do estamento nobiliárquico, campanhas militares, matrimônios, além de acordos e alianças construídas na política interna e externa da Coroa. Tal miríade de acontecimentos demandaram da monarquia aragonesa uma delicada atuação na articulação das relações sociopolíticas com a alta nobreza catalano-aragonesa, cuja influência na governação tornava seu apoio fundamental para a consecução das ações desenvolvidas por Jaime I no decorrer do seu reinado. Assim, este livro conduz uma discussão pautada sobre a atuação do rei diante da intrincada rede de relações sociopolíticas e de poder estabelecidas em suas conexões com a sociedade política catalã e aragonesa, a partir da compreensão de que o exercício do poder nesse contexto se configurava de forma compartilhada por meio de uma concepção pactual.

Background. Our previous studies have shown a minor embryotoxic effect of polymeric poly(VEP-co-GMA)-graft-mPEG carrier on Missgurnus fossilis L. embryos and prelarvae. At the same time, it was found that a 3-day exposure to 10-15 M polymer carrier slowed developing, which is characterized by a delayed hatching of larvae. However, in the 10-day experiment on loach larvae exposed to polymeric carrier, anomalies and defects of development have not been identified. The aim of this work was to analyze the embryos and prelarvae survival, as well as determine the morphometric indicators of the loach embryos under the action of a PEG-modified polymer carrier. Materials and Methods. Ovulation in loach females (Misgurnus fossilis L.) was stimulated by intramuscular injection of female chorionic gonadotropin (500 units), eggs were obtained 36 h after stimulation, fertilized in Petri dishes with a suspension of sperm according to A. A. Neifach. The stages of development were observed visually under a binocular microscope MBS-9 with a photo camera in a real-time mode. The experimental embryos were incubated in Goltfreter’s solution with the addition of PEG-containing carrier to a final concentration of 10 and 100 μmol/L. The morphological development of the embryo groups was evaluated according to the T. Fujimoto deve­lopment tables (2004), and the morphological parameters (diameter and area of roes, blastomers, embryos, embryo sac and blastodisk) were measured using ImageJ and Photoshop (CC 2014v15) programs. Results. Addition of the 10 μmol/L PEG-containing carrier to the medium initiated significant positive changes in the survival of loach embryos and prelarvae, in contrast to exposure to 100 μmol/L carrier. A significant increase in the area and diameter of blastomers and the embryos themselves under the influence of 100 μmol/L PEG carrier was established, which may indicate swelling of the embryos and a disruption of water-salt exchange that causes the early death of embryos. Conclusions. (1) Low embryotoxicity of the PEG-polymer was confirmed on the studied model of the loach embryos. Based on the obtained data and the original data of J. Maes et al. (2) PEG is an attractive polymeric carrier for the delivery of a variety of compounds to both embryos and prelarvae as well as other model subjects. Despite the fact that we investigated only two concentrations of the PEG-containing carrier, it is quite likely that these concentrations of the carrier are (3) biologically active in themselves and, therefore, a thorough selection of the PEG-carrier concentration for each objective of the model is needed.

Background. The spatial features of the structure of earthworm communities in the area of influence of motor vehicles were analyzed. Five species of lumbricides belonging to three families were found in the studied biocenosis located near the M06 Kyiv–Chop motorway (Ukraine): Aporrectodea caliginosa (Savigny, 1826), A. rosea (Savigny, 1826), A. trapezoidеs (Dugesi, 1828), Lumbricus terrestris (Linnaeus, 1758) and Dendrobaena octaedra (Savigny, 1826). Materials and Methods. Earthworms were collected during 2021–2022 in the biocenosis near the M06 Kyiv–Chop motorway (Berezyna village, Zhytomyr region). The material was collected by excavation and layer-by-layer analysis of soil samples. The thickness of each layer was 10 cm. The maximum depth – 0.5 m. Samples were taken every 10 m from the road to a distance of 210 m. The distance between the rows of samples along the road was 30 m. STATISTICA software package was used for statistical analysis of the data. Biodiversity assessments were calculated using the PAST software package. SAGA and Q-GIS software packages were used for spatial analysis and mapping of the data. Results and Discussion. The key factor that influences the structure of earthworm communities in the area of road transport impact is the distance from the source of impact. The maximum values of the dominance, Margalef and Berger–Parker indexes and the number of species are observed in areas near the motorway, while the values of the Shannon, Simpson, Menhinik and Brillouin indexes have the opposite trend. There is a correlation between the spatial variability of the structure of earthworm communities and the values of reflectance in the bands B3, B5, B11 of the Sentinel-2 satellite image. It allowed us to apply a geographically weighted regression algorithm with several predictors that indirectly reflect environmental parameters to the data. Conclusion. The results obtained show that the use of predictors allows us to obtain a more mosaic model of the distribution of indicator values compared to interpolation by kriging, which can be used to predict the values of earthworm biodiversity indicators within the study area.

Background. Most pathologies of the human body (in particular, malignant neoplasms, myocardial hypoxia, liver diseases, etc.) are accompanied by a violation of the integrity of cells in target tissues and the release of intracellular macromolecules into the extracellular environment. Thus, an important diagnostic and prognostic indicator is the level of activity of certain enzymes in blood serum, which are normally intracellular. One of the most promising areas of modern medical electronics and biophysics is the development and optimization of enzyme screening methods in biological fluids. In this study, we aimed to investigate the biophysical characteristics of using a recombination sensor for determining LDH activity in biological fluids. Materials and Methods. Experiments were performed on preparations of standard human blood serum. The reference determination of lactate dehydrogenase activity was carried out photometrically based on the change (decrease) in the concentration of the reduced form of the NADH coenzyme. The passage of the lactate dehydrogenase reaction was experimentally recorded by measuring the photocurrent of a silicon structure with a buried barrier under light irradiation from the region of strong absorption (λ = 532 nm). Results. The biophysical features of the device were studied. The detection of lactate dehydrogenase becomes possible due to the transfer of a hydrogen ion from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) to pyruvate, as a result of which lactate and NAD+ are formed. The effect is explained by the local electrostatic influence on the parameters of the recombination centers in the near-surface bending zone near the silicon surface, which leads to a change in the surface recombination rate. Conclusions. Our approach can be considered as a promising way to develop a highly sensitive method for the detection of lactate dehydrogenase. It has been experi­mentally shown that effective detection is possible in two changes at the surface ben­ding of the deep barrier silicon substrate zone.

Introduction. Campanula alpina is a perennial herbaceous bellflower grown in the Eastern Alps, Carpathians, and Balkans. Fruit in Campanula species opens by the hippocrepiform slits in the fruit wall, which are formed by axicorns, elongated structures inside the ovary composed of lignified parenchyma cells. Our objectives were to reveal the fruit structure and dehiscence mode in C. alpina and compare it with C. latifolia, a type species of the genus Campanula. Materials and methods. Flowers and fruits at different stages of morphogenesis of C. alpina subsp. alpina were examined. Plant materials were sampled in two plots in the Chornohora massif of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Results. Contrary to other Campanula species, in C. alpina only the basal part of the ovary is fused with the calyx forming the flattened ovary base. The placentation is axile, the fruit wall and septas are parenchymatous, only axicorns are lignified. Dehiscence of the hanged fruit proceeds by the curving of axicorns outside by drying. In the dehiscent capsule viewed from above, hollow openings in the horizontal ovary base are exposed, and the curved axicorns attached to the crumpled fragments of the ovary wall are visible inside the ovary. Discussion. The dehiscence of the fruit in C. alpina proceeds through septifragal and hippocrepiform slits like in C. latifolia. The main differences are that the ovary is mostly superior, openings are located on the horizontal ovary base, and valves together with axicorns curve inside the ovary. The semi-inferior or nearly superior ovary insertion could be traced in illustrations in digital databases and researches for some taxa of Campanula section Medium. No issues have been made on the evolution of the ovary position in Campanuleae, since only the inferior ovary was referred for this tribe before the present article. The functional implications of shifts in the ovary position in C. alpina could be a result of selection of the pollination mechanism, or dissemination mode. Conclusions. The peculiarity of the fruit in C. alpina is the axicorns curving inside the ovary during the dehiscence. It is expected that deviation from the inferior ovary will be confirmed in other related species of the Campanula with pendent fruits. No argumentation about the evolution of secondary hypogyny in Campanula has been proposed so far.
“Varlık ve Zaman” Bağlamında Sahih Varoluş ve Bir Terrence Malick Karakteri: Franz
Authors: Ersümer Oğuzhan
Published: June 2024

Martin Heidegger’de varlık, varoluştan önce gelir ve sahihlik kavramı (Eigenlichkeit) varoluşçu anlayıştan farklılık gösterir. Bu makale, Gizli Bir Yaşam (2019) filmindeki Franz (Jägerstätter) adlı dindar karakterin Malick sinemasındaki yerini Varlık ve Zaman’da (1927) tanımlandığı şekliyle, sahihlik (sahih varoluş) kavramı açısından tespit etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmamız, Heidegger’in felsefesinde dini bağlamda bir Tanrı’ya yer vermemesine rağmen, sahihlik temasının teolojik kökenli bu filmde varlığını koruduğunu savunur. Bu durumun sorgulanması çalışmanın ana problemidir. Filmler, belirli temalar ve karakterler aracılığıyla metafizik ve felsefi düşünceleri ortaya çıkarabilir. Bu doğrultuda, Terrence Malick, auteur eleştiri yöntemiyle ele alınmıştır. Bu çalışma, Heidegger felsefesi ile Malick’in dinsel söylemi arasındaki kimi gerilimleri açığa çıkararak literatüre özgün bir katkı sağlayacaktır. Malick, Heidegger felsefesiyle hareket ederken, öte dünyayı da öngören dinsel bir alan açar. Bu ikili görünümün nedeni, filmin dinsel çerçevesine rağmen, Malick’in varlığın zeminini dünyaya bağlamasıdır. Kimi zaman, panenteistik biçimde tasavvur edilen Malick’in Tanrı’sı sessiz ve neredeyse irtibatsızdır. Dolayısıyla Franz fırlatılmış ve yalnızdır. Tanrısallık ve dünyasallık Franz’ın kendi benliğinde buluşur. Yegâne olanağı ve özgürlüğü, varlığı mesele eden bir sahihlik ile Varlık’ın ve/ya Tanrı’nın açımlanışına açık olmaktır.
Bullatosporium taxicola, a new genus and species in Mytilinidiaceae (Pleosporomycetidae, Dothideomycetes) from western Norway
Authors: Andreasen M. , Jordal J.B. , Nordén B.
Published: June 2024

The new genus and species Bullatosporium taxicola are described from dead wood of Taxus baccata in western Norway. Despite some morphological resemblance with Hysteriaceae, including low ascomata with a thick carbonized peridium and mainly five-septate ascospores, multigene
analysis of the five molecular markers SSU, ITS, LSU, TEF1-? and RPB2 revealed an affinity to Mytilinidiaceae. The new species formed a strongly supported sister clade to the remaining strains of Mytilinidiaceae. Dichotomous keys to genera of Mytilinidiaceae and to hysterioid
species with phragmospores in Fennoscandia are provided to aid identification.
