Authors: Yan Qi , Jensen Katherine J , Thomas Rose , Field Alyssa R , Jiang Zheng , Goei Christian , Davies Mark G
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

The internet has become a popular platform for patients to obtain information and to review the health care providers they interact with. However, little is known about the digital footprint of vascular surgeons and their interactions with patients on social media.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to understand the activity of academic vascular surgeons on physician rating websites.

METHODS

Information on attending vascular surgeons affiliated with vascular residency or with fellowships in the Southern Association for Vascular Surgery (SAVS) was collected from public sources. A listing of websites containing physician ratings was obtained via literature reviews and Google search. Open access websites with either qualitative or quantitative evaluations of vascular surgeons were included. Closed access websites were excluded. Ranking scores from each website were converted to a standard 5-point scale for comparison.

RESULTS

A total of 6238 quantitative and 967 qualitative reviews were written for 287 physicians (236 males, 82.2%) across 16 websites that met the inclusion criteria out of the 62 websites screened. The surgeons affiliated with the integrated vascular residency and vascular fellowship programs in SAVS had a median of 8 (IQR 7-10) profiles across 16 websites, with only 1 surgeon having no web presence in any of the websites. The median number of quantitative ratings for each physician was 17 (IQR 6-34, range 1-137) and the median number of narrative reviews was 3 (IQR 2-6, range 1-28). Vitals, WebMD, and Healthgrades were the only 3 websites where over a quarter of the physicians were rated, and those rated had more than 5 ratings on average. The median score for the quantitative reviews was 4.4 (IQR 4.0-4.9). Most narrative reviews (758/967, 78.4%) were positive, but 20.2% (195/967) were considered negative; only 1.4% (14/967) were considered equivocal. No statistical difference was found in the number of quantitative reviews or in the overall average score in the physician ratings between physicians with social media profiles and those without social media profiles (departmental social media profile: median 23 vs 15, respectively, P=.22; personal social media profile: median 19 vs 14, respectively, P=.08).

CONCLUSIONS

The representation of vascular surgeons on physician rating websites is varied, with the majority of the vascular surgeons represented only in half of the physician rating websites The number of quantitative and qualitative reviews for academic vascular surgeons is low. No vascular surgeon responded to any of the reviews. The activity of vascular surgeons in this area of social media is low and reflects only a small digital footprint that patients can reach and review.
Conducting Virtual, Synchronous Focus Groups Among Black Sexual Minority Men: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Dangerfield II Derek T , Wylie Charleen , Anderson Janeane N
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

Focus groups are useful to support HIV prevention research among US subpopulations, such as Black gay, Black bisexual, and other Black sexual minority men (BSMM). Virtual synchronous focus groups provide an electronic means to obtain qualitative data and are convenient to implement; however, the protocols and acceptability for conducting virtual synchronous focus groups in HIV prevention research among BSMM are lacking.

OBJECTIVE

This paper describes the protocols and acceptability of conducting virtual synchronous focus groups in HIV prevention research among BSMM

METHODS

Data for this study came from 8 virtual synchronous focus groups examined in 2 studies of HIV-negative BSMM in US cities, stratified by age (N=39): 2 groups of BSMM ages 18-24 years, 5 groups of BSMM ages 25-34 years, and 1 group of BSMM 35 years and older. Virtual synchronous focus groups were conducted via Zoom, and participants were asked to complete an electronic satisfaction survey distributed to their email via Qualtrics.

RESULTS

The age of participants ranged from 18 to 44 years (mean 28.3, SD 6.0). All participants “strongly agreed” or “agreed” that they were satisfied participating in an online focus group. Only 17% (5/30) preferred providing written informed consent versus oral consent. Regarding privacy, most (30/30,100%) reported “strongly agree” or “agree” that their information was safe to share with other participants in the group. Additionally, 97% (29/30) reported being satisfied with the incentive.

CONCLUSIONS

Conducting virtual synchronous focus groups in HIV prevention research among BSMM is feasible. However, thorough oral informed consent with multiple opportunities for questions, culturally relevant facilitation procedures, and appropriate incentives are needed for optimal focus group participation.
Using the Novel Mortality-Prevalence Ratio to Evaluate Potentially Undocumented SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Correlational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Lin Sheng-Hsuan , Fu Shih-Chen , Kao Chu-Lan Michael
Published: July 2020

BACKGROUND

The high prevalence of COVID-19 has resulted in 200,000 deaths as of early 2020. The corresponding mortality rate among different countries and times varies.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate the relationship between the mortality rate and prevalence of COVID-19 within a country.

METHODS

We collected data from the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. These data included the daily cumulative death count, recovered count, and confirmed count for each country. This study focused on a total of 36 countries with over 10,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases. Mortality was the main outcome and dependent variable, and it was computed by dividing the number of COVID-19 deaths by the number of confirmed cases.

RESULTS

The results of our global panel regression analysis showed that there was a highly significant correlation between prevalence and mortality (ρ=0.8304; P<.001). We found that every increment of 1 confirmed COVID-19 case per 1000 individuals led to a 1.29268% increase in mortality, after controlling for country-specific baseline mortality and time-fixed effects. Over 70% of excess mortality could be attributed to prevalence, and the heterogeneity among countries’ mortality-prevalence ratio was significant (P<.001). Further, our results showed that China had an abnormally high and significant mortality-prevalence ratio compared to other countries (P<.001). This unusual deviation in the mortality-prevalence ratio disappeared with the removal of the data that was collected from China after February 17, 2020. It is worth noting that the prevalence of a disease relies on accurate diagnoses and comprehensive surveillance, which can be difficult to achieve due to practical or political concerns.

CONCLUSIONS

The association between COVID-19 mortality and prevalence was observed and quantified as the mortality-prevalence ratio. Our results highlight the importance of constraining disease transmission to decrease mortality rates. The comparison of mortality-prevalence ratios between countries can be a powerful method for detecting, or even quantifying, the proportion of individuals with undocumented SARS-CoV-2 infection.
On Arthur Waley’s English Version of the View of “Tian”, “Tao” and Their Relevant Content in Tao Te Ching
Authors: Peng Xiaojuan
Published: July 2020

Chinese classic Tao Te Ching has been rendered into the English world overwhelmingly, but the controversial views on the translation of “Tian” (?) and “Tao”(?) are still in the ascendant. Among the diversified versions, Arthur Waley’s is highly acclaimed, however, translation analysis of historical semantic representation and comprehensive source text is far from sufficient. It is reasonable to start from the historical semantic representation of “Tian” and “Tao” in the relevant Chinese classic books, to observe and study the available diachronic and synchronic cross influence. With the assistant of general semantic interpretation and Arthur Waley’s relevant translation study, it analyzes three crucial sentences reflecting the view of “Tian”, “Tao” and their relevant content in chapters 16, 25 and 77, generalizing their culture sources, influential annotations, ideologies interplay, source and target text exposition. The translation appreciation would take on the profound comprehension to specific source text, bilingual cultural considerations, and some translation thinking, in order to evaluate the particular target text impartially in comparatively complete perspectives.
“UNEXPECTED ALTERNATION OF REALITY”: MAGICAL REALISM IN PAINTING AND LITERATURE
Authors: Kostadinović Danijela
Published: July 2020

The term magical realism was coined by the German art historian Franz Roh in his essay After expressionism: Magical Realism: Problems of the newest European painting (1925), and it initially referred to a new view of the real-world painting in Germany in the 1920s. It originated as a response to Impressionism, Expressionism, and Surrealism. Magical realism painters realistically depicted objects and beings in detail, while magic and mystery were highlighted by creating illusions and through a change in perspective. Venezuelan writer Arturo Uslar-Pietri used the term magical realism to describe a specific type of short story in which the view of man as a mystery surrounded by realistic data dominates. Soon enough, this term started to be used to describe Latin American literature in general primarily thanks to an article written by Angelo Flores: Magical Realism in Spanish American Fiction. The so-called Latin American Boom started in the 1960s when the elements of the magical realism narrative could also be found in the prose of writers coming from countries outside the South American continent. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to examine the magical realism phenomenon and its main characteristics with regard to painting in the first half of the 20th century, as well as to Latin American literature since the mid-20th century, and to show that art movements can be transferred from one art to another, that they can transform and change their basic concept.
IMPACT OF NEWSPAPER COVERAGE ON THEATRE PUBLICITY, POPULARITY AND PATRONAGE IN NIGERIA
Authors: Diakpomrere Vincent Oghenvweta
Published: July 2020

This study examined and measured the impact of newspaper coverage on theatre publicity, popularity and patronage in Nigeria. The work appraises the extent to which Nigerian newspapers (by extension, the media) are contributing toward enhancing theatre publicity, popularity and patronage in Nigeria. The study utilized questions such as: do newspapers presently give attention to and thus provide publicity to theatres and their programmes? Is such attention worthwhile (adequate) under the present scheme of things or need to be intensified? How often do newspapers report theatre events? Do newspapers report theatre events more as features than as straight news, editorial or letters to editors? Coding schedule was used as the measuring instrument for data collection. A purposively selected sample comprising three Nigerian newspapers was studied. Content analysis research method was applied in carrying out the study. The study revealed that the contribution(s) of Nigerian newspapers to theatre popularity and patronage through publicity provided by their news coverage/feature stories is very minimal and grossly inadequate premised on the following findings: they do not give prominent attention to theatre events and programmes. They hardly report (place) news about theatre events and programmes on the front pages. They do not frequently report theatre events and programmes. Furthermore, they do not utilize features in presenting theatre events or programmes stories. The study therefore recommended that theatre producers and managers should intensify newspaper publicity options by setting up private newspapers or establishing mutually beneficial links with popular newspapers in view of promoting theatre publicity, popularity and patronage in Nigeria.
OPTIMISM-PESSIMISM AND EMOTIONAL REACTIONS TO UNPLEASANT MOVIE SCENES
Authors: Jović Miljan , Jovančević Ana
Published: July 2020

The aim of this research was to examine if there are some differences in a way optimists and pessimists react to unpleasant movie stimuli. The sample was convenient and it consisted of 42 (F=90%) students of psychology, from the Faculty of philosophy in Nish. Age range in the sample was from 18 to 20 (M=19, SD=.541). Instruments used in this research were: Life orientation test (LOT-R: Scheier, Carver, & Bridges, 1994) and Brief Mood Introspection Scale (BMIS: Mayer, & Gaschke, 2013) in order to operationalize the mood of the respondents. The stimulus was a scene from the movie Sophie’s Choice, which aimed at inducing a negative affect. From the results we can conclude that the mood of the optimists, after watching movie stimuli, is corrputed, while the mood of the pesimists isn't.So, in the further studies which examine emotion induction through movies, we suggest the  inclusion of optimism-pesimism as a control variable.Also, for further studies we suggest the involvement of actors and testing how they react to film stimuli.

ARTISTIC CREATION AND THE SEMIOTIC PROCESS: “CREATION” AND “DISSOLUTION” OF REALITY
Authors: Vidanović Snežana , Vidanović Đorđe
Published: July 2020

This paper is mostly a conjectural attempt to account for a deeper psychological aspect of visual artistic creation and to combine that insight with the current semantic and semiotic approaches to the dissolution of the visual signs that exist in the form of a drawing or a painting. Our view offers an insight into a psychological account of bodily uncertainty and anxiety, attempting to describe the corresponding emotional states that artists experience.

Comentarios a la jurisprudencia 2a./J. 164/2019 tope de los 10 salarios mínimos a las pensiones
Authors: Morales Ramírez María Ascensión
Published: July 2020

El 24 de enero de 2020 se publicó, en el Semanario Judicial de la Federación, la tesis jurisprudencial 2a./J. 164/2019,1 la cual reitera el tope de 10 veces el salario mínimo para el pago de las pensiones por invalidez, cesantía en edad avanzada y vejez a la generación en transición que opte por el sistema de la Ley del Seguro Social vigente hasta el 30 de junio de 1973, criterio que fue determinado en la jurisprudencia 2a./J.85/2010. México, en la reforma a la Ley del Seguro Social, a diferencia de los otros países latinoamericanos que introdujeron la capitalización individual en el sistema de pensiones,2 no reguló de manera clara y suficiente la situación de la generación en transición, en especial lo relativo al tiempo anterior al ejercicio de la opción de retiro. De esta forma, se negó a los asegurados, al momento de la reforma, la libertad para escoger entre el antiguo y el nuevo sistema. En la exposición de motivos de la ley vigente de 1997 se adujo que “todos los trabajadores en activo empezarían a cotizar bajo el nuevo sistema de pensiones”. 15 años después de haberse expedido la Ley del Seguro Social actual (21 de diciembre de 1995), vigente a partir del 1o. de julio de 1997 y evadiendo lo plasmado en la exposición de motivos de esta ley, a través de la jurisprudencia se han ido estableciendo las reglas a las que estará sujeta la generación en transición ante la omisión legislativa, al no preverse un ordenamiento específico al símil de lo que posteriormente resultó ser el Reglamento para el otorgamiento de pensiones de los trabajadores sujetos al régimen del artículo décimo transitorio de la Ley del Instituto de Seguridad y Servicios Sociales de los Trabajadores del Estado (LISSSTE), el cual fue producto de 223,810 amparos,4 que incluían al 90% de los asegurados. Ante esta imprecisión e incertidumbre jurídica, en la práctica, las acciones del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) en sus cálculos, negativas, modificación, rectificación y pago correcto del monto o incremento de la pensión, han obligado a los asegurados a acudir a las instancias jurisdiccionales. Así, mediante cuatro jurisprudencias de la Segunda Sala de la Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación (SCJN),5 a saber: 2a./J.85/2010; 2a./J.6 114/2012;7 2a./J.8/2016,8 y 2a./164/2019,9 se ha configurado el “régi-men transitorio” de los afiliados al IMSS al amparo de la Ley del Seguro Social vigente hasta el 30 de junio de 1997 y, por ende, la determinación del tope aplicable al cálculo y pago de las pensiones.
A construção identitária da marca Rio sob a perspectiva cultural: narrativas sobre o espaço convertido em mercadoria
Authors: Barroso de Mello Flávia , Grubits de Paula Pessôa Luís Alexandre , Moura Lima Vitor
Published: July 2020

Inserida no contexto de globalização cultural e econômica, a reconstrução da imagem da cidade passa por sua vinculação a um projeto de marca-cidade legitimado por ideologias, significados e narrativas culturalmente estabelecidos e cautelosamente selecionados para atender aos objetivos de pertencimento ao mercado global (PINCHERA; RINALLO, 2017). Nesse contexto, os megaeventos têm se configurado em argumento ideal para viabilizar grandes projetos urbanos, como o Porto Maravilha. Objetivando compreender a construção identitária do Rio de Janeiro enquanto marca-cidade, este artigo analisa, com base no discurso do site portomaravilha.com.br, como são articulados os significados que constroem e reforçam os atributos da marca Rio a partir da reurbanização do Porto do Rio. Para tanto, o aporte teórico parte da perspectiva cultural de place branding (HANSEN, 2006), da teoria da cultura de consumo (ARNOULD; THOMPSON, 2015) e da abordagem dos estudos culturais; metodologicamente, o estudo baseou-se na semiótica discursiva (GREIMAS; COUTÉS, 2013). Para além de um projeto maior de “Cidade Olímpica”, observa-se, no percurso de análise, que o produto final da reurbanização contemporânea do Porto do Rio materializa-se na crescente mercantilização da cultura, o que se configura como um dos imperativos do planejamento urbano que determinam as características do espaço transformado em mercadoria.
Consumo, sociabilidade e memória no processo de ressignifcação identitária: o caso da Feira de Refugiados Chega Junto.
Authors: Souza Conceição
Published: July 2020

Resumo:A sociedade contemporânea apresenta uma complexidade socioeconômica e política que impacta, sobremaneira, na economia e na rotina de várias sociedades. Neste cenário, o imigrante-refugiado se apresenta como um sujeito híbrido por excelência, símbolo do sujeito contemporâneo, ao mesmo tempo nativo e estrangeiro, cosmopolita e de lugar nenhum, se configurando como um objeto de reflexão para entender os fenômenos sociais e políticos que marcam a contemporaneidade. As pessoas consomem para fins de reprodução física, social e identitária. Neste artigo, apresento a Feira de Refugiados Chega Junto como um locus de consumo (material e imaterial), interações e sociabilidades. Na Feira, para além do viés transacional, são desenvolvidas múltiplas sociabilidades entre os vários atores sociais presentes. Isto ocorre tendo como pano de fundo, paradigmas já existentes, tangibilizados por regras e códigos próprios, presentes no cotidiano dos moradores da cidade. Enquanto preparam os pratos típicos, os refugiados são invadidos por lembranças de uma vida não mais possível e independentemente da questão comercial, este ato é, para eles, uma forma de reconstituir vínculos perdidos. Mesmo fragmentada e sujeita a variações, a memória dá a estas pessoas, um sentido de continuidade e coerência no tempo. Imersos num novo tecido social, surgem novas identidades, formas de experiências, aprendizados e sociabilidades.  Aliada a pesquisa bibliográfica, será realizado o registro de fatos e impressões, resultante da observação participante da Feira de Refugiados Chega Junto, localizada no Rio de Janeiro.Palavras-chave: Identidade, Consumo, Memória, Sociabilidade, Interação.
Sociabilidade e consumo da Feira das Yabás: uma observação entre práticas culturais, memória e tradição
Authors: Chao Adelaide Rocha de la Torre
Published: July 2020

Almoço de domingo, momentos de celebração, comida caseira e música boa no “quintal da casa de vó”. Partindo da observação e análise da sociologia da refeição para novas práticas e modos de consumo, este trabalho apresentará a Feira das Yabás – um evento de gastronomia e música que acontece aos domingos na Praça Paulo da Portela em Oswaldo Cruz (bairro do subúrbio carioca) e que reproduz a culinária de quintal através de matriarcas tradicionais da região da Grande Madureira. O propósito deste trabalho é discutir, dentro do cenário urbano da festa popular, as formas de sociabilidade e consumo de alimentos e música de seus atores sociais, propiciados pelo lugar e exaltação no espaço público da rua. Compartilhar o balde cheio de gelo e bebidas, dividir um prato de petiscos, utilizar acessórios da moda carnavalesca das escolas de samba são algumas observações da forma lúdica de sociação e da comensalidade. O trabalho exibirá o resultado parcial de uma pesquisa de campo que apresenta as relações entre imaginário e comunicação do evento: o que define a chamada “comida de subúrbio”, as preferências gastronômicas, atrações musicais e costumes da região. Seguindo o eixo temático de valorização das tradições e da cultura popular, esse texto enfatiza as representações das práticas socioculturais contemporâneas da Feira das Yabás, atreladas à história cultural da cidade.

Published: July 2020

A realidade social brasileira revela, cada vez mais, a necessidade das perspectivas acadêmicas e científicas se expandirem para as comunidades por meio da extensão universitária, gerando, inclusive, novos pressupostos e resultados. Diante disso, o Projeto Rondon tem se demonstrando uma ferramenta extensionista de bastante êxito. Nesse sentido, este artigo aborda a experiência em extensão universitária na Operação Forte dos Reis Magos 2016 do Projeto Rondon, no município de Acari (RN), pelas oficinas de “Cultura” e “Saúde”, que contemplaram diferentes públicos da comunidade local: alunos, capacitação docente a sociedade. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram: levantamento bibliográfico acerca da extensão universitária, da cultura e da saúde, que alicerçaram a construção do material apostilado utilizado na aplicação das oficinas e, consequentemente, este artigo; realização das oficinas de extensão, descrevendo os resultados e promovendo as reflexões sobre elas; e, por fim, a sistematização da redação deste artigo. Os principais resultados foram: quanto à saúde, a conscientização acerca do não uso das drogas, sobretudo as ilícitas; quanto à cultura, amplo debate sobre a diversidade cultural potiguar e brasileira e valorização e manutenção dos aspectos culturais locais de Acari.
ALUNO COM DEFICIÊNCIA E A ROBÓTICA EDUCACIONAL: UM ESTUDO DE CASO NO IF SERTÃO PE CAMPUS PETROLINA THE STUDENT WITH DISABILITIES AND EDUCATIONAL ROBOTICS: A CASA STUDY AT THE IF SERTÃO PE CAMPUS PETROLINA
Authors: Campos Jailma Samara Silva , Martins Danielle Juliana Silva
Published: July 2020

A inclusão é um processo de inserção, no âmbito social, de pessoas com deficiência, tendo a educação como meio que impulsiona para este fim. A robótica pode ser entendida como uma ferramenta educacional que viabiliza esse processo de inclusão. Pensando nisso, essa pesquisa investigou quais as contribuições da robótica educacional no processo de inserção de alunos com deficiência; tendo como objeto de estudo o desempenho de uma aluna que possui ataxia em decorrência de paralisia cerebral, participante do projeto de robótica educacional, desenvolvido no Instituto Federal do Sertão Pernambucano. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas com a aluna, com a mãe desta aluna, com o coordenador do projeto de robótica educacional e com a coordenadora do ensino médio, modalidade de ensino a qual a aluna faz parte. Com a análise dos depoimentos e da avaliação do desempenho da aluna, foi possível verificar que a robótica educacional se constitui como uma ferramenta viável para a inserção de alunos com deficiência no âmbito social, melhorando seu desempenho e autoconfiança. Esses resultados são relevantes, uma vez que há poucos trabalhos desenvolvidos nessa temática, sobretudo utilizando estudo de caso.

Este artigo objetiva apresentar e discutir a importância e formas de desenvolver a habilidade deexpressão oral em língua inglesa. A abordagem metodológica qualitativa da pesquisa narrativafundamenta este estudo e permite que façamos reflexões importantes, através de narrativas e reflexõestecidas por participantes e monitores do projeto de extensão Communication Café. Este projeto deextensão surgiu em 2014 na Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia – UESB/Campus Vitória daConquista e, desde então, tem procurado criar oportunidades para que a comunidade acadêmicadesenvolva e pratique a habilidade de conversação em inglês em seus encontros semanais. Ahabilidade de se expressar oralmente em uma língua estrangeira ainda não ocupa um espaço centralem muitas instituições de ensino. No Brasil, tanto no âmbito da educação básica como no ensinosuperior, as habilidades de conversação em língua inglesa, por exemplo, são muitas vezes deixadas delado ou recebem pouca atenção no currículo de muitas instituições. Entretanto, entendemos que estahabilidade, que permite que interações e trocas de conhecimento e experiências ocorra entre aspessoas, deva receber atenção especial, uma vez que pode capacitar os cidadãos para agirem no mundode forma ativa e critica (FREIRE, 1997; CRYSTAL, 2002). Portanto, este estudo apresenta, dentreseus resultados, uma reflexão relevante sobre a importância da conversação em inglês em ambientesde ensino no Brasil. Ainda, apresenta algumas formas que temos disponíveis para praticarmos ashabilidades comunicativas na língua inglesa. Este estudo poderá interessar alunos, professores,pesquisadores e curiosos sobre os rumos dos estudos sobre ensino-aprendizagem de inglês e seusdesdobramentos.

A valorização da prática educativa na Estratégia de Saúde da Família fortalece a possibilidade de uma abordagem integral e resolutiva, através do uso de ferramentas educativas que atraem a atenção para temas com dispositivos promotores de mudanças nos agravos de saúde, almejando favorecer o vínculo de confiança com a comunidade. Nesse contexto, o objetivo principal deste relato de experiência, é apresentar aos profissionais de saúde/educadores, o desenvolvimento de uma experiência educativa exitosa, embasada em alternativas inovadoras e eficazes na realização de ações de educação em saúde. Nesse sentido, relatamos a experiência educativa realizada em uma unidade de saúde no município de Tucuruí-PA, por meio da tecnologia educativa lúdica, através de apresentação de peça teatral, fantoches e rodas de conversas e como intervenção educativa sobre as temáticas como: verminoses, práticas de hábitos de higiene, Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis e Síndrome da Imunodeficiência Adquirida. Destaca-se a importância da continuidade de ações de educação em saúde, uma vez que englobam ações preventivas, em que justificam a relação custo e benefício, tornam-se alternativas baratas e efetivas se comparadas ao custo do tratamento de doenças. Tal prática reivindica aos profissionais de saúde, motivação, tempo e criatividade para a realização, pois proporcionam uma atividade maior em comparação com outras abordagens educativas. Entretanto as ações de educação em saúde, quando aliadas às práticas de ensino dinâmicas e inovadoras, contribuem positivamente para a prática interdisciplinar e índice expressivo de participação da plateia, possibilitando o intercâmbio esperado do público.

Introducción: El servicio de hospitalización domiciliaria en el área rural es un servicio poco conocido en el resto del ámbito sanitario. Al mismo tiempo existe poca literatura al respecto por lo que con este estudio queremos estudiar las características clínicas, la estancia media y la tasa de reingresos de los pacientes que ingresan en hospitalización domiciliaria en comparación a los pacientes que ingresan en planta de medicina interna pertenecientes a un hospital comarcal de un área rural (Hospital de TresMares).Método: Estudio descriptivo comparativo retrospectivo que incluye un total de 200 pacientes (100 ingresados en hospitalización domiciliaria y 100 ingresados en planta) del hospital de TresMaresResultados: La complejidad de los pacientes que ingresan en planta es superior a los que ingresan en hospitalización domiciliaria requiriendo al mismo tiempo de mayor uso de recursos. La eficacia, entendida como tasa de reingreso, en hospitalización a domicilio es similar a la de los pacientes de la planta. Se demuestra que la hospitalización domiciliaria puede ser una alternativa a la hospitalización tradicional en un área rural.Conclusiones: Se demuestra que la hospitalización domiciliaria puede ser una alternativa a la hospitalización tradicional en un área rural.

Published: July 2020

Mining frequent itemsets in transaction databases is an important task in many applications. It becomes more challenging when dealing with a large transaction database because traditional algorithms are not scalable due to the limited main memory. In this paper, we propose a new approach for the approximately mining of frequent itemsets in a big transaction database. Our approach is suitable for mining big transaction databases since it uses the frequent itemsets from a subset of the entire database to approximate the result of the whole data, and can be implemented in a distributed environment. Our algorithm is able to efficiently produce high-accurate results, however it misses some true frequent itemsets. To address this problem and reduce the number of false negative frequent itemsets we introduce an additional parameter to the algorithm to discover most of the frequent itemsets contained in the entire data set. In this article, we show an empirical evaluation of the results of the proposed approach.

Published: July 2020

Graphene is the newest member of the multidimensional graphite carbon family.
Graphene is a two-dimensional atomic crystal formed by the arrangement of
carbon atoms in the hexagonal network. It is the most rigid and thinnest
material ever discovered and has a wide range of uses regarding its unique
characteristics. It is expected that this material will create a revolution
in the electronics industry. Graphene is a very powerful superconductor as
the movability of charged particles is high on it, and additionally, because
of the high surface energy and ? electrons being free, graphene can be used
in manufacturing many electronics devices. In this paper, the applications
of graphene nanoparticles reinforced polymer nanocomposites in the computer
and electronics industry are investigated. These nanoparticles have received
much attention from researchers and craftsmen, because graphene has unique
thermal, electrical and mechanical properties. Its use as a filler in very
small quantities substantially enhances the properties of nanocomposites.
There are various methods for producing graphene-reinforced polymer
nanocomposites. These methods affect the amount of graphene dispersion
within the polymer substrate and the final properties of the composite. The
application and the properties of graphene-reinforced polymer nanocomposites
are discussed along with examples of results published in the papers. To
better understand such materials, the applications of these nanocomposites
have been investigated in a variety of fields, including batteries,
capacitors, sensors, solar cells, etc., and the barriers to the growth and
development of these materials application as suggested by the researchers
are discussed. As the use of these nanocomposites is developing and many
researchers are interested in working on it, the need to study and deal with
these substances is increasingly felt.
Various diffraction effects and their importance for detection of inhomogeneites in human tissues
Authors: Petrovic Nikola , Risman Per
Published: July 2020

Hitherto described microwave modalities for detection of internal
inhomogeneities in human tissues such as breasts and heads are by image
reconstruction, requiring time-consuming computational resources. The method
developed at MDH is instead based on the use of a magnetic field transducer,
creating an essentially circular electrical field. This is in turn
diffracted by the dielectric inhomogenity and that signal is received by an
E-field sensor in an appropriate position. The transmitting applicator is
unique by no need to contact the object under study (OUS) and does not
generate any surface waves at it. The primary field has properties behaving
as coming from a magnetic monopole. The receiving 3D contacting applicator
contains a high-permittivity ceramic and is resonant in order to provide the
desired field polarisation sensitivity. The desired system properties are
achieved by optimized use of the orthogonality properties of the primary
magnetic, induced electric, and diffracted electric fields. Key words:
Diffraction, magnetic field, applicator, internal inhomogeneity.

Primary purpose of restorative dentistry is to preserve pulp vitality.
Besides calcium hydroxide, the application of calcium silicate cements as a
material for direct pulp capping has become used recently. The aim of our
study was to investigate the influence of materials for direct and indirect
pulp capping on the bond strength of composite restorations using two
different self etch dentin adhesives. The test was performed on 60 intact
molars extracted for periodontal or orthodontic reasons. The prepared
samples were divided into the two groups and three subgroups depending on
the adhesive and pulp cupping material. Two different calcium silicate based
materials were used for pulp cupping. One step and two steps self etch
dentin adhesive was applied to prepared specimens depending on the group and
with the help of a specially made metal mold set up a composite post. The
share bond strength was assessed using a universal testing machine. The
results showed significant difference in the share bond strength between the
samples treated with TheraCal LC and Biodentine with TheraCal LC being
superior to Biodentine.

Published: July 2020

Rickets is a disorder of bone mineralization in children?s skeleton. It is
most often associated with vitamin D deficiency, however, it can also occur
due to a decrease in serum phosphate levels, which leads to inadequate
tissue mineralization, with consequent skeletal deformity and growth
disorders. Patients with hypophosphatemic rickets show teeth changes at the
morphological and histological level, as well as on radiological images. The
aim of this study was to perform clinical and radiological evaluation of
dental manifestations of hypophosphatemic rickets in a four-year-old boy, as
well as to point out the necessity of including a dentist in the treatment
of this disease in order to prevent oral complications.
Association Between Fasting Glucose Variability in Young Adulthood and the Progression of Coronary Artery Calcification in Middle Age: The CARDIA Study
Authors: Feng Weijing , Li Zhibin , Guo Wenjie , Fan Xianglin , Zhou Feiran , Zhang Kun , Ou Caiwen , Huang Feifei , Chen Minsheng
Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVE

To
investigate whether intraindividual variability of fasting glucose (FG) in
young adulthood is associated with coronary artery calcification (CAC)
progression in middle age.

RESEARCH DESIGN
AND METHODS

We
included 2,256 CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development Study in Young
Adults) participants with CAC assessment by computed tomography scanner
at baseline (2000–2001) and 10 years later (2010-2011). CAC progression was assessed
for each individual as the difference of logarithmic CAC scores at follow-up
and baseline (log [CAC (follow-up) + 1] - log [CAC (baseline) + 1]). FG
variability was defined by the coefficient of variation about the mean FG
(FG-CV), the SD of FG (FG-SD), and the average real variability of FG (FG-ARV) during
10-year follow-up. We investigated the association between FG variability and
CAC progression with adjustment for demographics, clinical risk factors, mean
FG level, change in FG level, diabetes incidence and medication use.

RESULTS

After
multivariable adjustment, 1-SD increment in FG-CV was associated with worse progression
of CAC as demonstrated as percent change in CAC with 5.9% (incident CAC, 95% CI
1.0%, 10.7%) and 6.7% (any CAC progression, 95% CI 2.3%, 11.1%) progression during
10 years. Similar findings were also observed in FG-SD and FG-ARV.

CONCLUSIONS

Higher
FG variability during young adulthood was associated with greater CAC
progression in middle age, suggesting its value in predicting risk for
subclinical coronary artery diseases.
