Published: July 2019

Background

To report on the current methods for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) detection and the clinical outcome of intravitreal therapies in patients with neovascular pigment epithelium detachment (PED).

Methods

Retrospective, interventional cohort study on 77 eyes of 59 patients. Inclusion criteria were a neovascular PED, identified by fluorescence angiography (FA) or/and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) treated with aflibercept (16 eyes) or ranibizumab monotherapy (36 eyes) or with at least three injections of ranibizumab, with a therapy switch to aflibercept in case of persistent fluid (25 eyes). The therapy regimen was a pro re nata (PRN) scheme with an upload phase of three monthly injections.

Outcome measures were sensitivity of CNV detection and evaluation of CNV activity at baseline on FA compared to OCTA, the change in highest retinal prominence (HRP) and PED size, assessed by spectral - domain OCT (SD-OCT), and the change in best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) three months after therapy initiation in the monotherapy groups or after the switch.

Results

Sensitivity of CNV detection was slightly superior for FA (0.786) compared to OCTA (0.706), whereas CNV activity evaluation was superior on OCTA. HRP significantly decreased after aflibercept (p<0.001) or ranibizumab monotherapy (p<0.001), and after therapy switch to aflibercept (p<0.001) in ranibizumab refractory patients. Corresponding BCVA improved in these groups, but without statistical significance (p=0.46; p = 0.11; p=0.19). PED size significantly decreased after aflibercept monotherapy (p=0.001) or after therapy switch to aflibercept (p<0.001), but not after ranibizumab.

Conclusions

The combination of FA and OCTA offers significantly improved visualisation, quantification, and predictability of CNV activity in neovascular PED. Aflibercept and ranibizumab are effective treatment options for neovascular AMD with PED, with a stronger effect of aflibercept on the PED itself. Furthermore, aflibercept appears to be a valuable tool for the management of patients unresponsive to ranibizumab.

Published: July 2019

Background

The influence of anesthetic technique on perioperative outcomes for total hip arthroplasty remains poorly elucidated. We studied a sample of total hip arthroplasty recipients, hypothesizing that spinal anesthesia has a superior impact on perioperative outcomes.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty between December 1, 2012 and October 31, 2018 in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University. The primary outcome was cardiorespiratory complications. Secondary outcomes were intraoperative hypotension, packed red blood cells (pRBCs) transfusion, prolonged hospital length of stay, intensive care unit (ICU) use, life-threatening event, and mortality. Multivariable regression analyses were used to identify the impact of anesthetic technique on perioperative outcomes.

Results

Among the 1,233 patients, 561 had general anesthesia, and 672 had spinal anesthesia. Patients were averagely younger in general group than in spinal anesthesia group, (69.0 and 72.1 years, respectively; P < 0.001), with insignificant difference in comorbidity burden. When spinal anesthesia was used, the hospital length of stay, ICU times, and volume of pRBCs transfusion were significant decreased (P < 0.05). Life-threatening event and in-hospital mortality occurred frequently in general anesthesia, but with insignificant difference. After adjusting for covariates, spinal anesthesia was associated with 54.3% reduction in cardiorespiratory complications (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 0.457, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.320–0.652; P < 0.001). Spinal anesthesia was favorably associated with decreased odds for intraoperative hypotension (OR: 0.653, 95% CI: 0.494–0.863; P = 0.003) and ICU use (OR: 0.371, 95% CI: 0.268–0.514; P < 0.001). The use of spinal anesthesia was not found to inﬂuence the risk of pRBCs transfusion (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 0.823, 95% CI: 0.631–1.073; P = 0.149) and prolonged hospital length of stay (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 0.886, 95% CI: 0.684–1.148; P = 0.360).

Conclusions

Compared with general anesthesia, spinal anesthesia for total hip arthroplasty was associated with decreased rates of cardiorespiratory complications, intraoperative hypotension, and ICU use.
Prevalence of undiagnosed mild cognitive impairment in elderly patients undergoing thoracic surgery and its relationship with postoperative outcome: a prospective cohort study
Authors: tong chaoyang , wu dehua , shen yaofeng , Xu meiying
Published: July 2019

Background

The prevalence of undiagnosed mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in elderly patients scheduled for thoracic surgery and its association with adverse clinical outcomes is still unproven.

Methods

We enrolled 170 patients 65 year of age or older who were scheduled for thoracic surgery. 82 males and 88 females with ASA grade II-III. All the elderly patients were tested with Chinese modified version of MoCA preoperatively. According to the test results, they were divided into two groups: group N (MoCA score>25) and group AN (MoCA score≤25). Outcomes included the hospital length of stay (primary outcome), the length of stay in patients with PPCs (LOS-PPCs), the pulmonary complications (atelectasis, pulmonary infection, respiratory failure) and other complications (blood transfusion, chylothorax, new arrhythmia, myocardial infarction and acute cerebral infarction) (secondary outcomes). Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses.

Results

Seventy-four of 154 (49%) patients screened positive for probable mild cognitive impairment (MoCA ≤ 25) in the final analyses. The hospital length of stay and LOS-PPCs in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment preoperatively were significantly longer than those with group N (P<0.05). Multivariate stepwise regression showed that preoperative MCI was an independent risk factor for prolonging the hospital length of stay and LOS-PPCs. Patients with a MoCA score less than or equal to 25 were more likely to have a longer hospital length of stay (OR = 2.355, 95% CI =1.137 to 4.877, P=0.021) and LOS-PPCs (OR = 6.867, 95% CI =1.116 to 42.257, P=0.038), but not related to increase the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (OR = 0.955, 95% CI =0.280 to 3.254, P=0.941) and other complications (OR = 1.687, 95% CI =0.502 to 5.665, P=0.398) compared to those with a MoCA score greater than 25.

Conclusions

The prevalence of undiagnosed probably mild cognitive impairment among elderly patients scheduled for thoracic surgery is high (49%). Such impairment is associated with a longer hospital stay and LOS-PPCs, while it is not possible to conclude that it is related to the incidence of pulmonary complications and other complications after surgery.
Unilateral visual impairment in a patient undergoing chemotherapy: a case report and clinical findings
Authors: Yuan Xia , Feng Yuliang , Li Dan , Li Mei
Published: July 2019

Background: Visual impairment occurred as an infrequent form of chemotherapeutic toxicity and was often underestimated despite of several reports. We described a case of acute unilateral visual impairment after one cycle of intravenous chemotherapy of normal dose, aimed at raising attention to chemotherapy-induced ocular toxicity.
Case presentation: During chemotherapy, the patient developed progressive vision loss in the right eye. She had worse visual acuity of 0.4 in the right eye (VOD0.4) than before (VOD1.0) after one cycle of intravenous chemotherapy. No evidence of ocular infiltration was observed from the cerebral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). During her follow-up period we documented the ophthalmologic examinations including visual acuity, visual field (VF), visual evoked potential (VEP), electroretinogram (ERG), fundus photograph (FP), fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Ophthalmoscope examination and fundus photograph showed optic disc edema, fuzzy boundary and linear hemorrhages in the right eye. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) revealed capillary underdevelopment at the nasal and superior temporal area of optic disc in the early phase and capillary fluorescein leakage in the late phase. The result of VEP test suggested that the function of optic nerve was impaired. A diagnosis of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) was made by an ophthalmologist and the patient received prednisone combined with neuroprotective drugs, which did not work. After cessation of chemotherapy, her impaired vision gradually improved.
Conclusions: This is the first reported case of acute visual impairment in a patient undergoing chemotherapy of normal dose. It is warranted that cancer patients benefiting from chemotherapy simultaneously suffer from the risk of vision loss.

L-carnosine and its Derivatives as New Therapeutic Agents for the Prevention and Treatment of Vascular Complications of Diabetes
Authors: Menini Stefano , Iacobini Carla , Fantauzzi Claudia Blasetti , Pugliese Giuseppe
Published: July 2019

Vascular complications are among the most serious manifestations of diabetes. Atherosclerosis is the main cause of reduced life quality and expectancy in diabetics, whereas diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy are the most common causes of end-stage renal disease and blindness. An effective therapeutic approach to prevent vascular complications should counteract the mechanisms of injury. Among them, the toxic effects of Advanced Glycation (AGEs) and Lipoxidation (ALEs) end-products are well-recognized contributors to these sequelae. L-carnosine (β-alanyl-Lhistidine) acts as a quencher of the AGE/ALE precursors Reactive Carbonyl Species (RCS), which are highly reactive aldehydes derived from oxidative and non-oxidative modifications of sugars and lipids. Consistently, L-carnosine was found to be effective in several disease models in which glyco/lipoxidation plays a central pathogenic role. Unfortunately, in humans, L-carnosine is rapidly inactivated by serum carnosinase. Therefore, the search for carnosinase-resistant derivatives of Lcarnosine represents a suitable strategy against carbonyl stress-dependent disorders, particularly diabetic vascular complications. In this review, we present and discuss available data on the efficacy of L-carnosine and its derivatives in preventing vascular complications in rodent models of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. We also discuss genetic findings providing evidence for the involvement of the carnosinase/L-carnosine system in the risk of developing diabetic nephropathy and for preferring the use of carnosinase-resistant compounds in human disease. The availability of therapeutic strategies capable to prevent both long-term glucose toxicity, resulting from insufficient glucoselowering therapy, and lipotoxicity may help reduce the clinical and economic burden of vascular complications of diabetes and related metabolic disorders.

:

Hydrogels are known as polymer-based networks with the ability to absorb water and other body fluids. Because of this, the hydrogels are used to preserve drugs, proteins, nutrients or cells. Hydrogels possess great biocompatibility, and properties like soft tissue, and networks full of water, which allows oxygen, nutrients, and metabolites to pass. Therefore, hydrogels are extensively employed as scaffolds in tissue engineering. Specifically, hydrogels made of natural polymers are efficient structures for tissue regeneration, because they mimic natural environment which improves the expression of cellular behavior.

:

Producing natural polymer-based hydrogels from collagen, hyaluronic acid (HA), fibrin, alginate, and chitosan is a significant tactic for tissue engineering because it is useful to recognize the interaction between scaffold with a tissue or cell, their cellular reactions, and potential for tissue regeneration. The present review article is focused on injectable hydrogels scaffolds made of biocompatible natural polymers with particular features, the methods that can be employed to engineer injectable hydrogels and their latest applications in tissue regeneration.

Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) form a group of diseases that are strongly associated
with poverty, flourish in impoverished environments, and thrive best in tropical areas,
where they tend to present overlap. They comprise several diseases, and the symptoms
vary dramatically from disease to disease, often causing from extreme pain, and untold misery
that anchors populations to poverty, permanent disability, and death. They affect more than 1
billion people worldwide; mostly in poor populations living in tropical and subtropical climates.
In this review, several complementary in silico approaches are presented; including
identification of new therapeutic targets, novel mechanisms of activity, high-throughput
screening of small-molecule libraries, as well as in silico quantitative structure-activity relationship
and recent molecular docking studies. Current and active research against Sleeping
Sickness, American trypanosomiasis, Leishmaniasis and Schistosomiasis infections will hopefully
lead to safer, more effective, less costly and more widely available treatments against
these parasitic forms of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) in the near future.

CHİCK COREA’NIN DOĞAÇLAMA ÜSLUBU ÜZERİNE BİR ANALİZ
Authors: EROY Ozan
Published: July 2019

Caz müziğini diğer müzik türlerinden ayıran
en önemli unsur kuşkusuz ki doğaçlamadır. Caz müziğinde doğaçlama; icra edilen
eser içerisindeki akor değişimlerine sadık kalınarak o anda üretilen yeni
melodilerdir. Akor yapıları, akor değişimleri, diyatonik diziler, simetrik
diziler, altere diziler, blues dizileri, pentatonik dizler, diyatonik modlar,
kromatik modlar ve ton dışı (outside) notalar veya diziler doğaçlamayı
oluşturan unsurlardan bazıları olup kullanım şekilleri icracıdan icracıya
değişmektedir. Amerikalı caz piyanisti ve besteci Chick Corea doğaçlama
sanatının günümüzdeki en önemli temsilcilerinden birisidir. Müziğindeki latin etkileri,
doğaçlamalarındaki farklı üslup Corea’yı caz müziğinin önde gelen
icracılarından birisi yapmaktadır. Bu çalışmada; Chick Corea’nın doğaçlama üslubu
üzerine bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizi yapılan doğaçlama
Corea’nın 1973 yılında yayımlanmış olduğu “Light as a Feather” albümündeki
“Spain” isimli eseridir. Araştırmanın analiz modeli üç farklı boyuttan
oluşmakta olup Chick Corea’nın doğaçlama stiline yönelik tespitler bu
doğrultuda ortaya konmuştur.
YARATICILIK, DAHİLİK VE HAYAL KIRIKLIĞI KAVRAMLARININ SANATÇILARIN ÜRETİMLERİNE ETKİSİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Özet

Bu çalışmada
sanatçıların eserlerini üretirken kişilikleri, ruh halleri, çevrelerindeki kişilerle
iletişimlerine yansıyan davranışları incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın amacı,
sanatçıların yaratıcılıklarının dahilik mi, delilik mi olarak görüldüğü ve bu
süreçte kendilerini nasıl gördükleri, hayal kırıklıklarının sanatçıya ve
sanatına nasıl yansıdığını incelemektir.Sanat ve sanatçı sürekli yaratma süreci
içerisinde olduğu düşünülen ikilidir. Sanatçının hep ürettiği ama bu üretim
sürecinin nasıl ortaya çıktığı, yaratma sürecinin sanatçıyı nasıl etkilediği,
dahilik ve delilik arasındaki sınırda yaşananlar, hayal kırıklıkları ve hangi
ruh halinde sanat yaptıkları ise bilinmeyendir. Özellikle geçmişte yaşamış ama
bugün hayatta olmayan bir sanatçının üretirken ne gibi duygulara kapıldığını
yapmış olduğu resimlerine bakarak anlamaya çalışırız. Belki de yanında olan
kişi veya kişilerin gözlemleri, tutulan kayıtlar, yapmış olduğu resimler,
yakınlarına yazdığı mektuplar üzerinden bir parça öğrenebiliriz. Bu; gizem dolu
bir labirent içine dışarıdan bir gözün bakmasına benzer.
Hamiltonian Simulation by Qubitization
Authors: Low Guang Hao , Chuang Isaac L.
Published: July 2019

We present the problem of approximating the time-evolution operatore−iH^tto errorϵ, where the HamiltonianH^=(⟨G|⊗I^)U^(|G⟩⊗I^)is the projection of a unitary oracleU^onto the state|G⟩created by another unitary oracle. Our algorithm solves this with a query complexityO(t+log⁡(1/ϵ))to both oracles that is optimal with respect to all parameters in both the asymptotic and non-asymptotic regime, and also with low overhead, using at most two additional ancilla qubits. This approach to Hamiltonian simulation subsumes important prior art considering Hamiltonians which ared-sparse or a linear combination of unitaries, leading to significant improvements in space and gate complexity, such as a quadratic speed-up for precision simulations. It also motivates useful new instances, such as whereH^is a density matrix. A key technical result is `qubitization', which uses the controlled version of these oracles to embed anyH^in an invariantSU(2)subspace. A large class of operator functions ofH^can then be computed with optimal query complexity, of whiche−iH^tis a special case.

Рассмотрены два способа синтеза мелкозернистого микрокремнезёма из диатомитовых пород, пригодного для создания вакуумных теплоизоляционных панелей с теплопроводностью 0,002–0,02 Вт/м2к. Методом анализа детерминированных моделей переноса тепла в зернистых системах определены основные индикаторы, определя-ющие зависимость теплопроводности от физических и топологических свойств частиц диоксида кремния. Для оценки и регулирования теплопроводности зернистых систем, к основным индикаторам можно отнести: m2 – по-ристость микроструктуры; ρк – плотность кластеров, фор-мирующих микроструктуру; εпр – характеристику степени (диссипации энергии излучения) черноты частиц напол-нителя; di – диаметр пор на i-ом масштабном уровне; λТ , λГ – теплопроводность твёрдой и газовой фазы системы; a – коэффициент аккомодации; N – координационное число; D – фрактальную размерность, характеризующую топологические особенности строения частиц, агрегатов, кластеров.

Проведён экспериментальный анализ свойств синтези­рованного микрокремнезёма. В результате проведённых исследований установлено, что оптимальные свойства дисперсного микрокремнезёма, синтезированного из опал-кристобалитовых биоморфных пород (диатомита Атемарского месторождения) путём осаждения оксида кремния из коллоидного раствора, получены при реали­зации второго способа производства. В процессе синтеза получен дисперсный микрокремнезём, представленный минералом опал, построенным из полимеризованных ни­тей аморфного кремнезёма, которые свёрнуты в глобулы, шаровые кластеры диаметром в диапазоне 2-40 нм. Топо­логия поверхности глобул характеризуется фрактальной размерностью D = 2,32; 2,64, что обеспечивает снижение значений коэффициента аккомодации и соответственно теплопроводности. Ассоциации шаровидных кластеров из частиц наноразмерного уровня формируют масштабно-ин­вариантную поровую структуру, обеспечивающую низкую теплопроводность[1].

Особенности устройства различных вариантов кровельных покрытий с системами озеленения
Authors: Korol Elena , Shushunova Natalia
Published: July 2019

Выявление новых тенденций развития в городском про­странстве с учётом формирования архитектурно-средовой концепции города и изменения потребностей жителей города является актуальной проблемой современного градо­строительства. Озеленение городских пространств, предпо­лагающее использование систем озеленения на стеновых и кровельных покрытиях зданий, является важным и полезным элементом градоформирующего потенциала жилищного ком­плекса в формировании городского пространства.

Устройство кровельных и фасадных покрытий с система­ми озеленения полезно для окружающей среды, потому что такие покрытия «оздоравливают» здания, снижая выбросы, затраты на отопление и охлаждение, фильтруют осадки, а также улучшают качество воздуха, улавливая загрязнения.

«Зелёные» крыши предлагают решение этих проблем, по­тому что они поглощают дождевую воду и снижают уровень вредных испарений в воздухе, улучшая процесс внутреннего охлаждения зданий и уменьшая потребность в кондициони­ровании воздуха. Преобразование общественных пространств позволяет формировать новый многоуровневый каркас с «зелёными» зонами. Устройство кровельных покрытий с системами озеленения имеет отличительные особенности, которые следует учитывать в процессе производства работ. Проведён анализ технологических процессов устройства экс­плуатируемых кровельных покрытий с системами озеленения и поиск оптимальных конструктивно-технологических решений. В исследовании использовался метод сравнительного анализа различных вариантов устройства кровельных покрытий с систе­мами озеленения. Приведены различные типы «зелёных» крыш в зависимости от нагрузки на покрытие здания: экстенсивный и интенсивный тип озеленения. В исследовании приводится анализ различных вариантов устройства кровельных покрытий с системами озеленения на основе сравнения показателей трудоёмкости работ при их устройстве.
Воссоздание утраченной исторической застройки (на примере города Калининграда)
Authors: Nekrasov Andrei
Published: July 2019

Современное состояние архитектурных пространств боль­ших и малых исторических городов России, подвергшихся в ХХ веке разрушению в результате многих причин, включая во­енные действия, выдвигает вопрос об использовании «метода воссоздания» не только утраченных исторических памятников и ансамблей архитектуры и культуры, но и целых районов.

«Воссоздание» как метод должно стать одним из путей обширной программы модернизации отечественных историче­ских городов, что обеспечит возрождение духовных идеалов, культурного смысла и сохранение историкокультурного на­следия, что будет способствовать достижению большей при­влекательности, развитию туристического бизнеса.

Из всех городов исчезнувшего Советского Союза и России судьба города Калининград/Кёнигсберга  бывшей столицы Пруссии  возможно, наиболее драматична и интересна.

Сразу же по окончании военных действий, когда евро­пейские государства начали восстанавливать разрушенные кварталы, Калининград оказался совершенно чужим  враж­дебным военным трофеем, где вся ненависть и неприязнь к германскому фашизму была перенесена на архитектуру за­падного неприятельского города.

В статье рассматриваются результаты экспериментальных проектов, выполненных в МАРХИ в течение нескольких лет, начиная с 2007 года, и связанных с воссозданием застройки центра бывшего Кёнигсберга и одновременным включением необходимых функций современного Калининграда.

Основными позициями концепции МАРХИ по воссозданию исторического образа Калининграда являются:

воссоздание утраченных кварталов по довоенным красным линиям в прежних габаритах, но с современными функциями;

воссоздание Королевского замка в прозрачных кон­струкциях;

модернизация существующего здания Дома Советов;

экономичная реорганизация транзитных магистралей в центре города с переносом под землю Московского проспекта «Подземный Кёнигсберг»;

реализация обширной программы включения в застройку центра театров и концертных залов, превращающих Калинин­град в западный центр российской культуры и искусства.

В конце статьи рассматриваются многочисленные пре­имущества предлагаемой концепции воссоздания в случае её реализации.
«Мы должны вести твердый план»: к истории рассмотрения первого варианта Генерального плана реконструкции Москвы в июле 1934 года
Authors: Starostenko Yulia
Published: July 2019

В центре внимания статьи находится процесс трансформа­ции ключевых установок Генерального плана реконструкции Москвы после первого его рассмотрения ЦК ВКП(б) в июле 1934 года. Изучение этих изменений стало возможным бла­годаря выявленной в фонде архитектора П.И. Гольденберга (РГАЭ) схеме основных радиальных и кольцевых магистралей Москвы, подготовленной в 1934 году Отделом планировки Моссовета. Эта схема, отпечатанная типографическим обра­зом большим тиражом, является одним из немногих свиде­тельств того, что архитекторы - авторы проекта планировки - и московское руководство в лице Л.М. Кагановича рас­считывали на утверждение представленного ими проекта. В статье особое внимание уделяется анализу выявленной схемы и рассмотрению её отличий от схемы планировки 1935 года. На основании документов из фонда Л.М. Кагановича (РГАСПИ) также предпринимается попытка реконструировать процесс пересмотра тех ключевых установок, которые лежали в основе схемы планировки в 1934 году, и воссоздать те принципы, которыми руководствовались архитекторы при внесении изменений в схему планировки уже в 1935 году. В частности, рассматриваются события, последовавшие за обсуждением Генерального плана реконструкции Москвы ЦК ВКП(б) в июле 1934 года и приведшие к появлению через год постановления СНК СССР и ЦК ВКП(б) «О Генеральном плане реконструкции г. Москвы», а также те изменения, которые после совещания 1934 года были внесены в схему планировки Москвы. Эти материалы в совокупности позволяют с качественно иных позиций увидеть события июля 1934 года, пересмотреть их роль в истории создания Генерального плана реконструкции Москвы 1935 года и определить степень их влияния на даль­нейшее развитие города1.

EVOLUÇÃO E DESAFIOS NO GERENCIAMENTO DOS RESÍDUOS SÓLIDOS URBANOS NOS ESTADOS DA REGIÃO NORTE, BRASIL
Authors: Oliveira Benone Otávio Souza de , Medeiros Gerson Araújo de
Published: July 2019

O desenvolvimento das cidades brasileiras associados ao poder aquisitivo causa a geração excessiva de resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU). Desta forma, para entender a problemática da gestão dos RSU nos estados da região norte do Brasil, o trabalho consistiu em realizar o diagnóstico dos RSU nos estados da região no espaço temporal (2008 – 2018) a partir da tabulação de dados oriundos do Sistema Nacional de Informações de Saneamento – SNIS. De acordo com dados oriundos do SNIS, foi evidenciada a progressão a partir da promulgação da Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS), no que tange a relação da quantidade de municípios que alimentaram o sistema com informações do saneamento. No entanto, esses aumentos ao longo dos anos de 2011 a 2018 foram aproximadamente de 23 a 56%, tendo um déficit de municípios que não alimentaram o sistema de 250 municípios da região norte (50%), e foi evidenciada a predominância de destinação aos lixões a céu aberto com média aproximada para os anos estudados de 71%. Portanto, pode-se dizer que houve melhoria relacionada à gestão dos RSU na região norte do Brasil, mas que não foi suficiente para cumprir todas as propostas e metas estabelecidas pela PNRS.
