A dermatite atópica (DA) e as alergias alimentares (AA) são condições interligadas que afetam uma crescente população, especialmente crianças. A DA, caracterizada por inflamação crônica da pele, frequentemente se apresenta como a primeira manifestação da marcha atópica, podendo evoluir para outras condições alérgicas, como as alergias alimentares e a asma. A prevalência da DA tem aumentado, especialmente em áreas urbanas, onde fatores genéticos e ambientais convergem, tornando-se essencial compreender suas bases fisiopatológicas para o manejo adequado das alergias alimentares. Este trabalho é uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada em agosto de 2024, utilizando as bases de dados PubMed e SciELO. A pesquisa inicial resultou em 173 artigos, dos quais cinco foram selecionados após a aplicação de critérios rigorosos de inclusão e exclusão, que garantiram a relevância e qualidade das informações. A análise dos dados foi organizada em categorias temáticas, incluindo introdução à DA e AA, fisiopatologia da DA, manifestações clínicas das alergias alimentares, impacto da DA no desenvolvimento de AA, diagnóstico, avaliação da relação entre DA e AA, tratamento e aspectos psicológicos, qualidade de vida e prevenção. A revisão destaca que a DA é uma condição comum, afetando cerca de 1 em cada 5 crianças, e que aproximadamente um terço das crianças com DA moderada a grave também apresenta alergia alimentar. Os principais alérgenos associados incluem leite de vaca, ovo e trigo, enfatizando a necessidade de uma abordagem integrada no diagnóstico e tratamento. O trabalho ressalta a importância da disfunção da barreira cutânea na sensibilização a alérgenos alimentares, sugerindo que intervenções precoces, como a amamentação e a manipulação da microbiota, podem ser benéficas na prevenção de ambas as condições. Os desafios no diagnóstico de alergias alimentares são discutidos, com a necessidade de testes específicos e uma história clínica detalhada para determinar a relação entre os alimentos e os sintomas apresentados. O manejo da DA envolve a educação do paciente e da família em relação à hidratação da pele e à identificação de fatores desencadeantes, além da exclusão do alérgeno da dieta em casos de alergias alimentares. A conclusão do estudo aponta para a necessidade de uma colaboração contínua entre profissionais de saúde, pacientes e suas famílias para garantir um manejo eficaz. A continuidade da pesquisa é vital para aprofundar a compreensão das interações entre DA e AA, contribuindo assim para melhores estratégias de prevenção e tratamento, visando à saúde e qualidade de vida dos indivíduos afetados.

Este estudo investiga o desenvolvimento e a implementação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) do Brasil, estabelecido pela Constituição de 1988 como uma resposta às desigualdades históricas no acesso à saúde. O objetivo é analisar o impacto do SUS na saúde pública e na sociedade, identificar os desafios que enfrentou e avaliar as perspectivas futuras para criar um sistema de saúde mais eficaz e equitativo. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura, abrangendo estudos publicados entre 2014 e 2024, com foco na construção, implementação e impacto do SUS. A análise incluiu artigos científicos, teses, dissertações e relatórios oficiais, destacando avanços, desafios e a evolução contínua do SUS. Os resultados revelam avanços significativos na cobertura de saúde, particularmente na atenção primária, bem como melhorias nos indicadores de saúde, como a redução da mortalidade infantil. No entanto, o subfinanciamento crônico, a gestão ineficiente e a comercialização dos serviços de saúde permanecem obstáculos significativos. O estudo conclui que, embora o SUS represente uma conquista crucial para garantir o acesso universal à saúde no Brasil, são necessários esforços contínuos para enfrentar os desafios persistentes e garantir a sustentabilidade e a eficácia do sistema no futuro.

Introdução: Seja para profissionais de saúde envolvidos diretamente nos cuidados com pacientes, seja em nível populacional, pouco se discutiu sobre condições e organização do trabalho, prevalecendo apenas protocolos de medidas individuais (higiene e uso de equipamentos de proteção). Os principais desafios foram a elevada transmissibilidade do vírus, a falta de EPI, a sobrecarga de trabalho e os impactos na saúde mental. Tais profissionais se viram diante do aumento de transtornos psiquiátricos, incluindo depressão, ansiedade, insônia, estresse e trauma indireto. Objetivo: compreender a saúde do profissional de saúde após Covid-19. Metodologia: Revisão de literatura integrativa a partir de bases da Scielo, da PubMed e da BVS, de março a maio de 2024, com descritores “Covid-19”, “Worker health Health”e “Post-pandemic”, cadastrados no DeCS/MeSH e operador “AND”. Incluíram-se artigos de 2019-2024 (total 100), com exclusão de outros critérios e escolha de 05 artigos na íntegra. Resultados e Discussão: A sensação de alto risco de contaminação, efeito da doença na vida profissional e humor deprimido: esse era o contexto vivenciado por profissionais de saúde. Além disso, a exaustão física e mental, a perda de pacientes e colegas, a dificuldade na tomada de decisão, o medo da contaminação e da transmissão da doença aos entes próximos também foram marcantes aos que estavam na linha de frente. De acordo com a OPAS, a intervenção no momento de crise deve ser o acolhimento do sujeito e de suas emoções, de forma sensível, empática, por meio da escuta ativa e qualificada - base da comunicação terapêutica. É importante oferecer suporte emocional. Isso envolve ouvir ativamente o que a pessoa está passando, proporcionando espaço seguro para expressão de sentimentos e preocupações. Os profissionais de saúde apresentam mais depressão, ansiedade, insônia e efeitos negativos em relação à saúde geral, em período pós-pandemia. O aumento desses problemas citados mostra que mesmo com o “fim” a níveis pandêmicos, e com a vida retornando à normalidade, esses profissionais de saúde ainda lidam com os efeitos causadores dessa crise em suas vidas. É essencial que órgãos e instituições de saúde ofereçam suporte aos trabalhadores, proporcionando-lhes apoio psicológico adequado e eficaz para enfrentar as repercussões dessa crise, sem estigmatizações e com menor morbidade. Conclusão: Tanto as instituições de saúde como os próprios profissionais precisam entender a importância do quesito mental e da repercussão em todas as outras aéreas da vida. É desafio que requer cuidado e atenção, bem como manejo adequado com acompanhamento multiprofissional e de forma longitudinal.

O glaucoma, uma importante causa de cegueira global, caracteriza-se pelo aumento da pressão intraocular que pode danificar o nervo óptico e levar à perda de visão. Esse estudo objetiva analisar o perfil clínico epidemiológico dos pacientes com glaucoma para aprimorar as estratégias de prevenção e tratamento. Utilizando uma metodologia de revisão da literatura, o estudo explora bases de dados como PubMed, MedlinePlus, SciELO e Google Acadêmico para coletar dados sobre epidemiologia, demografia, fatores de risco e tendências de tratamento. A análise revelou que o glaucoma é multifatorial, com variações como o glaucoma de ângulo aberto e de ângulo fechado, e está frequentemente associado a comorbidades como diabetes e hipertensão. Os fatores de risco incluem idade avançada, hereditariedade e etnia, com indivíduos de ascendência africana apresentando maior predisposição. No Brasil, a região Sudeste, devido à sua densidade populacional e infraestrutura de saúde, mostra a maior prevalência. O estudo destaca a importância de diagnósticos precoces e intervenções adaptadas ao perfil demográfico e de risco dos pacientes. Conclui-se que políticas de saúde pública voltadas para a detecção precoce e o tratamento adequado são essenciais para mitigar a progressão da doença e prevenir a perda de visão, enfatizando a necessidade de melhor acesso a cuidados oftalmológicos e rastreamentos sistemáticos, especialmente em populações de alto risco.

Chinese Funding: A Curse to Africa
Authors: Chipfakacha Chido T
Published: September 2024

The role of China in the liberation of Africa from colonial rule cannot be down played as I laid a foundation to Africa today. Most African countries were aided by China militarily and ideologically in the fight against Western colonial rule. Though some scholars would suggest that China`s contribution was as a result of the hostility that was there in the times of the cold war between the self-acclaimed democrats of the Western bloc and the Communist Eastern bloc. Philosophers like Marx Engel, Karl Marx, Lenin and Mao Zedong had a major influence on the liberation of Africa. The purpose of this paper is to show how the relationship that started as sincere has become a curse for the poor and unconnected Africans. In recent years the Chinese has overtaken the Briton hood Institutes of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank as the major lenders of loans to African States.  Kwame Nkrumah warned us of the danger of Africa being recolonised in what he termed neo colonialism where the colonisers will come as investors. Neo colonialism is no longer a theory but has become a reality as will be exposed in this article using empirical, qualitative and quantitative research methods to show how  a friendship with China has benefited the elite politicians at the cost of citizens affairs. Africa is endowed with natural resources yet it has the poorest population per Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita. The paper will show how it is easy for a Chinese to own a business in Africa compared to the native Africans using the case of Shurugwi in Zimbabwe.
A Critical Review of Medemer from Ideological Perspectives
Authors: Assefa Tefera
Published: September 2024

Medemer, both as a book and as an idea, is trapped between two extremes: admiration and rejection. Writers from both ends offer their thoughts, criticisms, and reviews of Medemer. The aim of this article is to analyze Medemer from an ideological perspective. Raising some political and policy questions about Medemer’s application is also the aim of this article. This article used a qualitative research approach and comparative and critical research methods. Secondary sources of data were used to compare Medemer with various political ideologies. Ideologically, Medemer meets the three criteria (critics of the present order, vision of the future society, and theory of change). Medemer is a “blended ideology” that combines concepts, principles, and ideas from liberalism, socialism, conservatism, and fascism. Furthermore, Medemer ideology attempted to combine concepts from opposing political ideologies and proposed it as a solution to Ethiopia’s complex sociopolitical and economic problems. Despite the government’s claim that Medemer is Ethiopia’s redeemer, several political questions remain unanswered given the country’s current situation. Therefore, the country’s complicated sociopolitical and economic problems under the regime of the Prosperity Party challenged the applicability of Medemer. Is Medemer thus the sole (or perhaps the only) instrument, policy framework, ideology, and mechanism for resolving Ethiopia’s multiple, dynamic, and complex socio-political problems? These remain a point of contention among academics and politicians.
Elite Governance, Development, and Public Safety in Nigeria
Authors: Ayodele Johnson Oluwole , Adebusuyi Jane
Published: September 2024

Governance defines how political actors use ethical or corrupt practices to influence mass participation in political decision-making in public affairs. This article interrogates the implications of the elite monopoly of power for development and public safety in Nigeria. We anchored the study on Pareto’s circulation of elite theory. It adopts a qualitative method to collect secondary data which are content and thematically analyzed. Results indicated that the gap between the elite and the citizenry threatens the development and public safety in Nigeria. This article concludes that elitism should not only socially engage with the citizenry, but it should also reproduce egalitarian political values and actors for inclusion in Nigeria’s democratic destiny. Drawing on the values of the conceptual lions (oselu) of Pareto to scare his conceptual foxes (ojelu) vices out of political domination through electoral re-socialization could neutralize elite conspiracy against the majority and boost the capacity of vulnerable Nigerians to initiate and implement development and public safety defenses. It suggests that a true fiscal federalism predicated on ethical reorientation in politics could reinvent Nigeria, and relieve her of the burden of underdevelopment and insecurity into which elite avarice has plunged the country.
Africa-China Relations and the Issue of South-South Cooperation
Authors: Nkrumah Nana Kwame , Kipo-Sunyehzi Daniel Dramani
Published: September 2024

Africa-China or Sino-African relations continue to grow stronger. Africa sees China as a partner in development with the global South-South Cooperation. As a measure of friendship, China constructed the African Union headquarters at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for free. There has been cooperation between China and African countries. China’s role in Africa during the independence struggles is well noted and its development assistance to the continent has been phenomenal over the years. As Africa and China relations continue, several bottlenecks continue to mar the relationship. This paper highlights the bottlenecks of Africa-China relations by tracing the historical ties between China and African states. It delves into Africa-China relations in terms of South-South Cooperation and China’s foreign policy of non-interference in internal matters of other states. It uses 2019 data to analyze China-Africa trade, investments and revenues accruing to both partners. It concludes with how China-African states can achieve mutual benefits.
Lived Poverty and the Fate of African Democracies
Authors: Ntodwa Edson , Dulani Boniface , Masumbu Mwayi
Published: September 2024

In comparative politics, economic development is a requisite to democracy (Lipset, 1959).   Democracy is deemed to fail in less developed countries as poverty has proven to be detrimental to democratic performance. This study offers a perspective on the effects of poverty on the fate of democracy in Africa. Models are estimated for the Poverty-Democracy linkages using variables derived from merged Afrobarometer survey data (2002-2018). The results indicate that poverty in Africa has a mixed effect on democracy more generally. In particular, the analysis indicates that the experience of poverty, which we have termed ‘lived poverty’, has a negative effect on demand and supply of democracy as well as on a number of attributes of political participation. The fact that the poor demand democracy less than the well-to-do while at the same time perceiving limited supply of democracy, in our view explains why more African regimes are consolidating as hybrid regimes instead of moving towards democratic consolidation

Published: September 2024

Detectar com precisão a congestão pulmonar continua sendo um desafio na cardiologia, apesar dos avanços nos métodos diagnósticos. Abordagens tradicionais, como exame físico e radiografia de tórax, têm limitações na avaliação em tempo real e no monitoramento dinâmico do estado volêmico. A ecografia pulmonar (EP) surge como uma ferramenta promissora, oferecendo uma abordagem não invasiva e à beira do leito para detectar congestão pulmonar com maior acurácia diagnóstica, fornecendo informações valiosas sobre o estado volêmico. Em pacientes com insuficiência cardíaca, a EP demonstrou sensibilidade e especificidade elevadas na detecção de congestão pulmonar, contribuindo para um diagnóstico diferencial mais preciso e agilizando a tomada de decisão clínica. No cenário do ecocardiograma de estresse, a EP melhora a estratificação de risco, identificando pacientes com maior probabilidade de eventos cardiovasculares adversos. Fora do contexto da insuficiência cardíaca, a EP também tem sido aplicada em outros cenários clínicos, como na síndrome coronariana aguda e na avaliação do status volêmico em pacientes em diálise. Essa expansão de uso reflete o potencial da EP como uma ferramenta versátil e valiosa em diferentes contextos clínicos, oferecendo uma abordagem mais precoce, precisa e eficaz no cuidado cardiológico.

It supports the preservation of building-specific knowledge and the cultural heritage hidden within. However, having to do this throughout the entire lifecycle of a building—or even indefinitely—remains a major challenge. This is especially true for organizations responsible for large collections of digital building documents and datasets, such as public administrations or archives. In this article, we first describe the challenges and requirements associated with preservation tasks and then introduce the concept of representation information within Building Information Modeling (BIM) and all types of related data and documents. This type of information is important to give meaning to the stored bit sequences for a particular community. We then design a repository for representation information and propose some 23 so-called BIM Core content elements. Finally, we focus on BIM and the construction sector and explain how the proposed repository can be used to implement the two concepts introduced in the ISO reference model Open Archival Information System (OAIS), namely the representation information and the context information, as well as the concept of significant properties, which has not yet been explicitly modeled in OAIS.

Accurate digital twins are crucial in improving facility management. However, facility owners often encounter inaccurate digital twins due to incorrect as-built Building Information Modeling (BIM) models. By understanding the attributes of correct as-built BIM models, it is possible to reduce the production of inaccurate digital twins. This study aims to establish a framework of attributes for developing as-built BIM models. To achieve this, a systematic review of published articles using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) technique was conducted to identify relevant attributes for developing as-built BIM models. Next, a comprehensive conceptual framework was established for the development of as-built BIM models. Through the analysis of 50 articles, nine attributes of as-built BIM models were identified and grouped into three categories: data quality, data interoperability, and data security. Data quality encompasses accuracy, completeness, ease of understanding, coordination, consistency, and up-to-date. Data interoperability includes accessibility and compatibility, and data security pertains to security. The study findings could provide valuable guidance to industry practitioners and policymakers in developing strategies for producing correct as-built BIM models, ultimately improving the production of accurate digital twins and enhancing overall facility management.

Perkembangan dan peningkatan pemanfaatan Teknologi (ICT) saat ini semakin pesat. Era transformasi digital, industry 4.0 dan Society 5.0 mengharuskan pemanfaatan IT hampir di seluruh aspek kehidupan. Hal ini mengharuskan kompetensi SDM meningkat, khususnya di bidang ICT. Hal ini juga yang mendasari penambahan kompetensi siswa dari 4C menjadi 6C yang dicanangkan oleh Mentri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan. Salah satu kompetensi yang ditambah adalah Computational Thinking (CT). CT merupakan kemampuan komprehensif dalam memecahkan persoalan, untuk mencari solusi yang efisien, efektif dan optimal di era digital, dimana solusi permasalahan akan membutuhkan bantuan IT untuk menghasilkan solusi yang cepat, akurat dan kreatif. Permasalahan yang dihadapi mitra saat ini adalah masih kurangnya pemahaman guru dan siswa mengenai CT, sehingga, perlu adanya pengenalan dan pelatihan CT kepada siswa, khususnya tingkat SD dan SMP serta membekali guru dengan konsep, materi dan resources mengenai CT yang nantinya diberikan kepada siswa di sekolah. Pelaksanaan kegiatan dibagi dalam 3 tahap, yaitu workshop dan pelatihan CT kepada siswa SD dan SMP serta webinar dan pelatihan CT untuk guru. Kegiatan terakhir adalah mengikutsertakan siswa dalam kegiatan Tantangan Bebras, sebuah ajang kompetisi CT global yang diselenggrakan secara serentak di 56 negara termasuk di Indonesia. Kegiatan ini sekaligus sebagai evaluasi keberhasilan pelatihan yang dilakukan, yaitu banyaknya siswa yang mengikuti Tantangan Bebras dan peringkatnya di tingkat nasional. Kegiatan abdimas ini berjalan dengan lancar, dengan jumlah peserta sebanyak 874 peserta untuk semua rangkaian kegiatan. Jumlah siswa yang mengikuti Tantangan Bebras sebanyak 358 siswa dari tingkat SD, SMP dan SMA, dengan peringkat tertinggi yang diperoleh adalah peringkat 10 besar di tingkat SMP dan peringkat 25 besar di tingkat SD di tingkat nasional.
