This study aimed to know how a neural network model can be used to predict the behaviour of particular methane production using a three-layer (3:12:1) feed forward back-propagation algorithm and the logsig-purelin transfer function to maximize maximum methane prediction. The artificial neural network performs admirably compared to the daily methane generation of (vegetable waste 5%, lipids 12.5%, meat residues 12.5%, cow dung 10% and water 60%) at various temperatures (19–30 °C) for 64 days. Among the three input variables (feedstock, temperature, and time), feedstock has the strongest correlation with the particular methane production value. Thus, the research validates the ANN model’s ability to anticipate the biogas production curve’s behaviour and forecast the optimal substrate temperature for maximum biogas production. The regression value(R) for the digester was 0.95769. The capability of ANN modelling acts as a preliminary draft and significantly lowers the time required for methane generation in-line control. The daily methane production was predicted at three temperatures (20, 25, and 30 oC) for 75 days, and it found out the best temperature reaction was 30 oC.

The aim and objective of the authors is to explain and analyse the effect on business-to-business sector through nano influencer marketing. The authors explain about how companies can use nano-influencers for cracking a deal or selling products between two companies. Many companies do not use nano influencers for selling their brand products, but as everybody knows how important loyalty and a good engagement rate these influencers have with their customers are, one can consider and implement the same in the business as well. In this the authors have been done based on the interview method through telephonic calls, where the researchers interviewed the clients of serval reputed companies and collected their feedback on their sayings. The researchers have asked the clients several questions related to their marketing strategies, what do they think about influencer marketing and will they allow nano influencers to sell the products to other business companies. After collecting all the feedback, the researchers have analysed the responses and came up with solutions. The empirical aspect of the paper reveals that there is a strong pattern and a high probability for companies to use LinkedIn influencers in their business to expand their presence, boost overall revenue, and improve brand equity within companies.

There are different types of behavioral disorders of a genetic nature that affect human beings, among these we can mention the autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). O ASD is a disorder where its carriers tend to have difficulties in social interaction, repetitive and impulsive behaviors, many times it is violent, also showing many difficulties to develop activities that are constantly practiced easily by other children, VAZ et al (2015). This form several methodologies are being developed for the inclusion of children carrying two disorders in schools of basic education, both as adults in institutions of higher education, since this inclusion will guarantee a better quality of life, as discussed in our work. SILVA (2009). The objective of this work was to carry out a systematic review of items most correlated to behavioral, nutritional and genetic aspects, apart from the conditions of inclusion of two individuals with ASD. In order to obtain the aforementioned objective, we have searched for papers that address these aspects, as well as means of social inclusion of children, young people and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). During the days of searches carried out by the team, and a careful selection by means of reading abstracts and complete reading papers, we had a total of 20 papers, being only selected 6 jobs at the end. The collected results show that ASDs are caused by genetic hazards and that the problems about the behavioral conditions and inclusion had decrease a little by means of the advancement of science and improvement of techniques over a period years.

Published: August 2021

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine-metabolic pathology among women at reproductive age. It has a multifactorial character, and its etiology has not yet been precisely explained. The pathogenesis of PCOS is related to metabolic issues such as hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance, and is also associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes and increased cardiovascular risk. Manifestations such as irregular menstruation, acne, hisurtism and androgenic alopecia are common in addition to the consequent psychological and quality of life impacts. Thus, knowing that the adoption of healthy habits have therapeutic impacts in the face of various signs and symptoms of PCOS, there is a need to analyze the influence of lifestyle on the prognosis of PCOS. The present study carried out its searches in the PUBMED database, using the descriptors "polycystic ovary syndrome", "life style" and "prognosis", using the Boolean operator "and". Inclusion criteria were used: articles written in Portuguese, English and Spanish, published in the last 5 years. 19 results were obtained, 5 of which were excluded, resulting in 14 articles chosen for theoretical reference. The influence of lifestyle on the prognosis of PCOS is notorious, especially in patients with overweight and obesity. Thus, healthy behaviors have the potential to improve pathological conditions and bad habits demonstrate that they can induce clinical manifestations of PCOS in predisposed people. Lifestyle changes, mainly associated with weight loss, show improvements in aspects such as insulin resistance, free testosterone, acne, hirsutism and reproductive function, reduced cardiovascular risk, in addition to positively influence to the psychic and quality of life in analyzed patients. Therapeutic strategies that combine lifestyle changes and drug interventions have been shown to be more effective, as well as strategies structered with the monitoring of professionals tend to increase adherence to treatment.

Published: August 2021

Care in Primary Health Care for women in the pregnancy-puerperal cycle must take place in an integral way, with individualized care that considers the life history, feelings and the environment in which the woman lives, seeking her physical and mental well- being to prevent postpartum depression. Given this fact, a postpartum consultation is recommended as essential by the Ministry of Health for the early detection of preventable complications common in the period, such as puerperal depression (BRAZIL, 2012). It is known that each woman has a way of reacting to the postpartum due to the different situations that occur, such as the relationship with her partner and her family, her social and cultural life, meaning that, each pregnancy is a unique and individual experience. . (SARMENTO, SETÚBAL, 2012). Therefore, we will address the relationship between nurses and postpartum depression in family health strategies in a city in the state of Rio de Janeiro. It will be a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study, whose overall objective is to analyze how nurses perform to postpartum women with postpartum depression. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to find out about the role of nurses in Family Health Strategies (FHS) in the city of Valença, RJ. METHOD: This is a descriptive and exploratory study, with a qualitative approach. There are 19 ESFs in the municipality, but 9 strategies were selected, however only 5 wanted to participate. A Google Forms form was sent along with the Free and Informed Consent Form to the email of the selected nurses, but only 5 were returned. Data was collected through a semi-structured interview. RESULTS: Through the data gathered, it was seen that nurses have difficulties in identifying the signs and symptoms of PPD, as well as an approach due to the difficulties encountered both because of the non- adherence of pregnant women in prenatal consultations, which makes it difficult for these pregnant women to adhere to postpartum consultations at the unit and the nurses' work routine, which makes tracking difficult. The use of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale is being questioned. CONCLUSIONS: With the lack of adherence of these puerperal women in the consultations, it is very difficult to identify the signs and symptoms of Postpartum Depression, the nurse must seek the population closer to the unit in carrying out health education in the strategy, creating bonds besides giving the postpartum autonomy over their care. The professional must work together with their team in the actions of permanent education, thus, empowering community health workers in the identification, therefore this professional brings the community closer to the strategy, which facilitates users' adherence to the health service.

Although Covid-19 disease is primarily considered an infection of the respiratory tract, it is currently known that damage and adverse reactions in the course of and after this disease affect several other bodily systems, however these issues are not yet fully understood, especially in tangent its neurological manifestations.3,4 In this sense, this report aims to add the list of many cases that are being reported/described in the literature which warn about the direct effects of the virus on the nervous system, to a disease for -infectious or post-infectious immune-mediated to COVID-19, such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, muscular diseases of the peripheral nervous system (Guillain-Barré syndrome), cerebrovascular and vascular diseases (CVA), and acute inflammatory processes such as that of the brain parenchyma in this case of Viral Encephalitis. Encephalitis is a diffuse or focal inflammatory process of the brain parenchyma associated with brain dysfunction, which can be divided into two main categories: alluding to systemic infections or vaccination and alluding to the entry of the pathogen into the CNS. Thus, based on the premise that several neurological manifestations are related to SARS-CoV-2 infection, a better understanding of the immune response to this infection can help not only for prevention but also can provide a valuable contribution to knowledge of the health-disease process, next human approaches, therapeutic and drug interventions.

Published: August 2021

Perinatal education aims to prepare women through scientific based evidence information about their options, providing knowledge that allows them to make conscious choices that favor the improvement in health and well-being of the mother and baby. Knowing that in the female universe, one of the most important phases in the life of some women is motherhood. This study aims to identify perinatal education actions performed by pregnant women by the nursing team during prenatal care, avoiding possible complications. This is an integrative literature review, using documents already prepared by other authors, including scientific articles and documents published on an electronic basis, addressing the theme of perinatal education offered to pregnant women by the nursing team. The results presented without a doubt demonstrate that pregnancy is always marked by different, objective and subjective aspects, for each woman. For many, being a mother can change their plans and transform their lives. Thus, for the pregnancy to proceed safely, prenatal care is necessary and essential. It concluded, therefore, that the nurse is a professional qualified to monitor pregnancies. In this context, prenatal care is a process of monitoring the pregnant woman, serving as a learning experience for the woman and the family. In addition, during this period, abnormalities can be detected with the mother and the child. During nursing consultations, guidelines for favorable measures should be provided for a specific approach to the specific needs of pregnant women with whom nurses interact in health units during prenatal consultations.

The speed of COVID-19’s spread has interfered in the daily lives of billions of people on the planet in several aspects, such as social, economic, scientific and medical. The infection affects the upper respiratory tract, predominantly. The health team is vulnerable to the contagion of the virus and can evolve negatively to sleep disorders. This way, the investigation of the relationship between sleep disorders in health professionals in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic is necessary and becomes the main objective of this review, especially regarding to the quality of sleep, seeking to determine correlations between the occurrence of the pandemic around the world and sleep disorders caused by it. An integrative literature review was carried out, following the exploratory character of a qualitative approach. 735 articles were found, 78 met the inclusion criteria, 16 articles were selected for careful reading and in full and, finally, 7 articles were considered pertinent and studied. Thus, the assessment of sleep quality was analyzed through several screening questionnaires. Female representativeness was 61% and male 39% of the total number of participants. The average age of the sample was 28-40 years, being 35 years the age of emphasis. Nursing professionals were the most affected category by insomnia, being mentioned in four studies (57%). Numerous factors can contribute to the quality of sleep of health professionals, such as physical exhaustion due to social isolation, the use of personal protective equipment for many hours, concerns about the family and fear of contamination. The research was performed with adequate scientific rigor, with acquisition of new knowledge and, toward analysis, new coping strategies were suggested by the authors.

INTRODUCTION Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by progressive cognitive loss coupled with age-related functional impairment. Its two major brands are β-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. There is strong evidence for a relationship between Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and AD. Both pathologies are quite prevalent and dependent on aging. OBJECTIVE The present study seeks to understand the role of the metabolic syndrome in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease and to describe preventive and therapeutic interventions. METHODOLOGY The review was made based on the search for scientific articles in the electronic databases PUBMED and Web of Science, using the descriptors “Alzheimer’s Disease”, “Metabolic Syndrome” DISCUSSION MS is a metabolic breakdown with the potential to damage insulin signaling in the brain, causing insulin resistance, inhibiting β-amyloid clearance and its accumulation, which generates neuroinflammation. In addition, it induces a prothrombotic state with ischemic effects, resulting in oxidative stress and neuroinflammation and progressive local brain atrophies. The components of the metabolic syndrome are related to AD, exacerbating neuroinflammation and insulin resistance. Preventive and therapeutic measures aiming at the MS are promising. CONCLUSION From the analyzes developed in this study, different relationships between the components of MS and AD are perceived, the first being possible causes and / or effects of the second. Since insulin resistance plays a major role in the initiation and perpetuation of cognitive impairment in AD. Furthermore, the components of MS associated with AD, when treated with preventive and therapeutic measures, break this association by promoting rebalancing of the metabolism.

Published: August 2021

Neuroplasticity occurs from human development until the end of senility and, despite the dependence on food, the regulation of the diet on neurons and nerve synapses is not restricted to the availability of nutrients. In turn, intermittent fasting, as a dietary strategy, represents not only a modern technique for weight loss, but also an important historical factor for the occurrence of persistent organic adaptations. Based on this interrelation, evidence was collected from databases that associated, positively or negatively, neuroplasticity with intermittent fasting in humans. From the review of the selected articles, the various ways in which intermittent fasting affects neuroplasticity, influencing energy metabolism, triggering signaling pathways, modulating components of the immune system and altering cellular components were identified. All of these changes create a favorable environment for the emergence and maintenance of neurons, as well as for the formation of new nerve synapses.

Published: August 2021

Neurological complications are very relevant in the current pandemic scenario. The virus has the Spike protein, which binds to the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 receptor (ACE2), receptor present in the body, triggering the infection. This enzyme is present in abundance in the respiratory epithelium, which explains the predominance of respiratory symptoms; however it is still found in neurons and glial cells, making the Central Nervous System (CNS), a possible target of the pathogen. The objective is to highlight the main neurological complications resulting from infection by the coronavirus agent of acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). Thus, we conducted a literature search based on the descriptors “Covid 19”, “Neurological disease” and “Complications”, with publication period between 2020 and 2021 on the MEDLINE, PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Science Sciences platforms (LILACS), UpToDate and World Health Organization. The most persistent neurological complications found were: aphasia, dysgeusia, cerebrovascular diseases and encephalopathies. The neurological manifestations arising from COVID-19 are a reality and very complex , so further studies are needed to further evaluation and analysis of the consequences caused by this virus infection.

Sleep is a biological need that can be affected by various factors and interferes with physical and mental well-being. Thus, the current pandemic of COVID-19 has changed the routine of a large part of the population, as well as affected the quality of sleep and has become a risk factor for the development of problems. In this context, the present study sought to highlight the importance of sleep quality for different situations. In view of this, the article understands how the current pandemic scenario has interfered with the quality of sleep and, consequently, with the population’s biopsychosocial paradigm. This is a bibliographic review with data collection from secondary sources in March and April 2021, carried out in the SciELO and PubMed databases. It has been observed that sleep deprivation makes it possible to increase cytokine activity, namely interferon (IFN), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1-beta (IL-1-beta), favoring the increase in inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), this set of changes negatively affects immunity and is directly related to changes in sleep patterns. Therewith, from the analysis, it is possible to perceive the harm that the scenario of COVID-19 brought to the quality of sleep, causing several losses in daily activities. Therefore, it can be inferred that changes related to sleep contribute to the absence of alertness and changes in perception as well as in sensory processes, making the individual lethargic and with a reduction in the cognitive ability to perform functions of essential attributions for their quality of life.

The new coronavirus, called SARS-Cov-2, discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, is already responsible for more than 3 million deaths worldwide, according to the WHO. The virus is responsible for attacking the respiratory, digestive and nervous systems, invading the cells of these systems that have the angiotensin-converting enzyme receptor 2 (ACE-2). The disease is being continuously studied and new scientific findings are being discovered every day. One of the most relevant guidelines is the involvement of the central nervous system by the coronavirus. Several cases have reported neurological symptoms such as headache, anosmia, ageusia, dizziness, seizures and in more severe cases acute cerebrovascular disease, encephalopathies and Guillain-Barré syndrome. In this context, some hypotheses were raised as to how this neuroinvasion would occur and two routes are pointed out as the main ones: neuronal and hematogenic.

El chivo de Vargas LLosa: una lectura política
Authors: Conde Sturla Pedro
Published: August 2021

Con Mario Vargas Llosa sostuve una especie de conversación cerca de la catedral de Santo Domingo. Él andaba de turista en compañía de Soledad Álvarez y yo estaba de juerga en el Palacio de la Esquizofrenia -Cafetería Restaurante El Conde por más señas- en compañía de Víctor Villegas y Alfredo Pierre. De modo que disfrutaba yo de la noche y unas cervezas cuando los vi llegar: Soledad sonriente, Vargas Llosa sonriente mucho gusto, apretones de manos mucho gusto, otro apretón de manos, muchas manos, mucha efusión de palabras y mucho gusto (algo así como La orgía perpetua). Dos minutos después éramos viejos amigos.

El pensamiento político de José Gabriel García
Authors: Javier Ciprián
Published: August 2021

Concluida la guerra de Restauración en el 1865, surge la necesidad de consolidar y fortalecer los ideales de libertad e independencia de la Nación Dominicana, frente al empuje que venían adquiriendo los sectores conservadores y anexionistas para entregar la república a una potencia extranjera, proyecto que se trató de consolidar durante la administración de los "Seis Años de Báez" (1868-1874), quién llegó a concertar acuerdos con el presidente Grant para la anexión de la República o el arrendamiento de Samaná. El presente ensayo tiene como hilo conductor el análisis del nacionalismo, el hispanismo, el antihaitianismo y el antinorteamericanismo en los escritos de José Gabriel García.
La reestructuración del conservadurismo victoriano: a propósito del ocaso de la nación dominicana
Authors: Victoriano Arturo
Published: August 2021

El pensamiento conservador dominicano tiene una continuidad, se pueden trazar sus líneas y se puede seguir su devenir histórico. Desde el ataque de Bobadilla y Santana a la empresa liberal duartiana hasta nuestros días de reivindicación de Joaquín Balaguer y su doctrina política. Dentro de estas líneas, la vertiente histórica ha sido de primordial. El nuestro es un pueblo que gusta de la historia (cada año el inefable José Rafael Lantigua registra los libros dominicanos más vendidos y los de historia suelen estar a la cabeza, pero ese afán del escaso público lector dominicano por la historia, es generalmente de carácter indiscriminado: se lee casi todo, así conviven Manuel Núñez y Róberto Cassá.
El acoso de la Nación dominicana
Authors: Guzmán lbarra José Manuel
Published: August 2021

Manuel Núñez tenía la idea desde el principio de que el libro el Ocaso de la Nación Dominicana sería polémico. Así lo expresa en el prólogo de 1990: "auguro desde ahora que este libro será atacado y, acaso, combatido sañudamente ... " No porque hubiera evitado que el suyo fuera "un pensamiento que no provoque estas remociones en el espíritu" como dice en el prólogo a la primera edición, sino porque él se había propuesto enfrentar a la mayoría de los intelectuales y periodistas, que se habían propuesto desmontar o tratar de desmontar la idea trujillista de nación y eso era ya en sí mismo un fin deliberadamente polémico y se podría decir que hasta infeliz.
Balaguer y el crimen de Estado
Authors: Objío Orlando
Published: August 2021

La historiografía dominicana registra abundantemente la tesis de que el pueblo dominicano no tiene aptitud para la vida democrática. El pensamiento liberal del siglo XIX, por ejemplo, es en este sentido, representativo. Sonó, estimaba, que la sociedad dominicana fue organizada ·para el despotismo tendremos mal que nos pese rebeliones y más rebeliones, dictaduras y más dictaduras. Estimaba que la dictadura era "el remedio universal a que han apelado pueblos y gobiernos en las horas supremas de su existencia, los nuestros no se prestan para otro. Debe agregarse que las clases que dirigen han perdido el prestigio para la forma republicana, y las otras no han podido aun adquirir las cualidades que afirmen definitivamente el que les pertenece.
La historiografía marxista en la República Dominicana
Authors: De la Cruz Juan
Published: August 2021

La historiografía marxista es una de las piedras angulares de la dialéctica materialista que permite investigar y comprender a profundidad la totalidad compleja en movimiento que es la sociedad. Esa totalidad social e histórica, al igual que la realidad natural, se rige por leyes objetivas que existen con independencia del pensamiento humano, las cuales podemos conocer y poner al servicio de la humanidad en la medida en que se traduzcan al cerebro humano mediante el proceso de reflejo —por intermediación de la práctica social—, convirtiéndose de esa manera en leyes de la lógica y de la teoría del conocimiento.
