Authors: Hassan Shah Fahad , Ja Kim Song , Zakir Laiba , Ehsan Aqsa , Riaz Sohail , Sulaiman Muhammad , Salman Saad
Published: February 2022

Self-harm and suicide are most commonly observed in adolescents specially females in Asian countries and in western. The psychosocial predictors, along with hopelessness and non-suicidal injury (NSSI), have not been studied properly before. Therefore, there is a need to address these issues. The objective of the study was to ascertain the psychosocial and clinical features predicting suicide and NSSI in adolescents with major depression. Increased number of suicidality and impaired family function at entry is autonomously connected with a suicidal attempt. NSSI are connected at base line and apply additive effect on likelihood, one keeping on through treatment period. Poor family functions, as well as family problems and social problems, were the causative agents for adolescent’s high suicidality and NSSI. A history of NSSI treatment is a clinical marker for suicidality. The previous suicidal attempts should be evaluated in depressed juvenile patients as indicators of future suicidal intent and behavior. Both suicidal and NSSI adolescents during the therapy and after treatment endure to be depressed when they are engaged in study. Major causes of suicide among our study participants were lost friend(s), drug abuse, living alone, disturbed parental marriage, sexual abuse, and other domestic problems.

Analog space missions in Poland include international scientific, technological, and business projects designed and realized by a private research company Analog Astronaut Training Center Ltd. (AATC) devoted to the future Moon and Mars exploration. Growing experience in educational aspect of the training as well as continuous development of the habitat and its professional space science laboratory equipment correspond to increased interest of educational organizations, universities, and individual students. We serve unique practical platform for space engineering, space master, and even space doctoral theses. In addition to a wide range of training courses offered for future astronauts, for example, diving, skydiving, rocket workshops, and stratospheric missions, AATC provides a private laboratory to simulate the space environment. It carries out scientific experiments focused on biology and space medicine, as well as addressing several multidisciplinary issues related to the Moon and Mars exploration, including space mining. The main goal of each our analog simulation is to get publishable results, what means that our analog astronauts obtain not only certification of completion of the training but also ability to continue studies and to perform it individually. This chapter summarizes methodology used by us, didactic tools, and obtained results for both educational and scientific analog simulations.

This chapter provides a complete means of modeling and simulation of fuzzy control systems for DC motors, induction motors, and permanent magnet synchronous motors, made in the Matlab/Simulink program environment, useful for performing complex analyzes. The functioning of the programs is demonstrated by an example of characteristics obtained practically, with a functioning regime often encountered in practice.
Identification of RNA Species That Bind to the hnRNP A1 in Normal and Senescent Human Fibroblasts
Authors: Moran Heriberto , A. Ghandhi Shanaz , Shimada Naoko , Hubbard Karen
Published: February 2022

hnRNP A1 is a member of the hnRNPs (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins) family of proteins that play a central role in regulating genes responsible for cell proliferation, DNA repair, apoptosis, and telomere biogenesis. Previous studies have shown that hnRNPA1 had reduced protein levels and increased cytoplasmic accumulation in senescent human diploid fibroblasts. The consequence of reduced protein expression and altered cellular localization may account for the alterations in gene expression observed during senescence. There is limited information for gene targets of hnRNP A1 as well as its in vivo function. In these studies, we performed RNA co-immunoprecipitation experiments using hnRNP A1 as the target protein to identify potential mRNA species in ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes. Using this approach, we identified the human double minute 2 (HDM2) mRNA as a binding target for hnRNP A1 in young and senescent human diploid fibroblasts cells. It was also observed that alterations of hnRNP A1 expression modulate HDM2 mRNA levels in young IMR-90 cells. We also demonstrated that the levels of HDM2 mRNA increased with the downregulation of hnRNP A1 and decrease with the overexpression of hnRNP A1. Although we did not observe a significant decrease in HDM2 protein level, a concomitant increase in p53 protein level was detected with the overexpression of hnRNP A1. Our studies also show that hnRNP A1 directly interacts with HDM2 mRNA at a region corresponding to its 3′ UTR (untranslated region of a gene). The results from this study demonstrate that hnRNP A1 has a novel role in participating in the regulation of HDM2 gene expression.
Diversity of Extracellular Vesicles (EV) in Plasma of Cancer Patients
Authors: L. Whiteside Theresa , Ferrone Soldano
Published: February 2022

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are produced by all cells and are found in all body fluids. They function as intercellular messengers that carry and deliver signals regulating cellular interactions in health and disease. EVs are emerging as potential biomarkers of diseases and responses to therapies, and much attention is being devoted to understanding their role in physiological as well as pathological events. EVs are heterogenous in their origin, size, molecular characteristics, genetic content and functions. Isolation of EV subsets from plasma and characterization of their distinct properties have been a limiting factor in ongoing efforts to understand their biological importance. Here, we discuss the immunoaffinity-based strategies that are available for isolating distinct subsets of EVs from plasma and provide a road-map to their successful immunocapture and molecular profiling, with special attention to tumor-derived EVs or TEX.
Soil-Skeleton and Soil-Water Heavy Metal Contamination by Finite Element Modelling with Freundlich Isotherm Adsorption Parameters
Authors: Van Hoang Nguyen
Published: February 2022

World research results indicate that untreated leachate contains high contents of heavy metals (HM) that are likely to pollute the soil and groundwater (GW) environment and contribute to the increase of HMs in soil and GW. The Freundlich isotherm adsorption parameters are essential to soil input parameters for modelling of HMs’ transport to access the soil skeleton and soil pore water contamination by HMs. Finite element (FE) modelling of advection-dispersion transport of HMs by GW movement along with Freundlich isotherm adsorption parameters which continuously change with space in the model domain and with time is sophisticated to accurately evaluate the HMs’ concentrations in soil skeleton and pore water. The chapter describes the background of the existing isotherm adsorption theory, the adaptation of the Freundlich isotherm adsorption in the soil skeleton and soil pore water contamination by HMs, method of determination of the Freundlich isotherm adsorption parameters, the FE procedure of modelling of advection-dispersion transport of HMs by GW movement in general and along with Freundlich isotherm adsorption parameters in particular. A case study modelling has been demonstrated.
Green Roofs Influence on Stormwater Quantity and Quality: A Review
Authors: Santos Cristina , M. Monteiro Cristina
Published: February 2022

This chapter intends to make an extensive review of the influence that Green Roofs (GR) have on the quality and quantity of stormwater. These aspects are very important to define the benefits and the disadvantages of this nature-based solution that is being implemented worldwide to improve the sustainability of urban areas. Previous studies show that the characteristics of GR (such as dimensions, the composition of the different layers and the type of plants) have a major influence on the quality and quantity of the GR runoff. Despite the proven benefits in urban stormwater management, in some reported cases, the quality resulted worst and for some GR conditions, the effect on rainwater retention was minimal. They are key elements to make resilient cities so a clear understanding of their functioning and development is fundamental to avoid and minimize potential impacts of malfunctioning of these nature-based structures.
How to Use Haptic Technology in Interactive Digital Documentation of Heritage
Authors: Hain Vladimír , Hajtmanek Roman , Kočlík Dušan
Published: February 2022

Virtual restoration of the extinct heritage is a method of reconstruction of an already destroyed work in a virtual environment. It represents a way and an opportunity to reenter the remodeled simulated space interactively and experience its contemporary atmosphere and former author expression. In addition to visual and acoustic experiences, haptic technologies represent the potential for expanding sensory perception, which is not yet sufficiently used in the architectural sector. This study focuses on defunct and endangered works of interior architecture and industrial heritage, which were significant at the time of their inception and shaped the direction of the industry. Especially in the case of cultural and spiritual heritage, we focus on interiors, which, by their short-term nature, are neither objective nor physically documentable. Selected extinct works for which there was enough data or there was still the possibility of consultation with a living author were experimentally virtually reconstructed. Using haptic technologies, we have expanded the observer’s ability to interactively analyze space and its context through User Tracking of observers. The data obtained in this way continue to help the creators of the architecture set new starting points and limits for the current creation and design as well.
Resource Allocation in Wireless Body Area Networks: A Smart City Perspective
Authors: Kim Beom-Su , Shah Babar , Kim Ki-Il
Published: February 2022

Healthcare is an essential service in smart cities. To deploy healthcare systems in such cities, personal health monitoring systems, infrastructure for collecting and delivering individual data, and a system for diagnosing symptoms are required. For the first requirement, wireless body area networks (WBANs) have recently received considerable attention from research communities. Owing to their main distinguishable features from general wireless sensor networks, research challenges regarding WBANs have been focused on network topology around the body and implanted nodes, efficient resource allocation, and power control. In this chapter, we provide a comprehensive discussion on the emerging research trends in the area of wireless sensor networks and a discussion of WBANs in terms of their resource allocation.
The Risk of Inequality in Italian Healthcare Due to Covid-19
Authors: Ciardo Carlo
Published: February 2022

The Italian National Health Service, characterized by the principles of universality, equality and fairness, has undergone changes over the years that have involved these essential characteristics. The decrease in financial resources was the first element that touched the Italian health organization. The spread of Covid-19 has attacked the balance of healthcare in Italy and put the equality of the entire care system at risk. The reform of the Italian health system, especially through the correct use of European financial resources, is the real test for the Italian health system of the future. It can be a moment of relaunch or the certification of a decline that jeopardizes constitutional rights.
Understanding the intention to donate online in the Chinese context: The influence of norms and trust
Authors: Li Wu , Mao Yuanyi , Liu Cong
Published: February 2022

Due to the advancement of information and communication technologies, online donations have become unprecedentedly convenient, making money received from individual online donations an important form of revenue for many charitable organizations in China. However, factors contributing to people’s online donation intentions, in turn impacting donating behavior, have been under-examined. The current study aims to understand factors influencing online donation intention in the Chinese cultural context by combining constructs from the extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB; including the original TPB constructs and moral norm) and trust-related constructs (i.e., trust in charity organizations and trust in technology). The moderation effect of past donation behavior on the relationship between trust and donation intention was also explored. A total of 721 Chinese participants completed the online survey. SPSS was used to perform hierarchical multiple regressions. The results showed that attitude, perceived behavioral control, moral norm, and subjective norm were all positively related to online donation intention. Moral norm was found to be a stronger predictor than subjective norm, raising the amount of explained variance of the original TPB model. Trust in charity organizations was found to positively predict donation intention while trust in technology was not. The results also revealed that past donation behavior moderated the effect of trust in charity organizations on donation intention. This study not only adds to the body of knowledge on charitable donation in the online context by incorporating two trust-related constructs into the extended TPB model, but also highlights the different roles moral and subjective norms play in predicting people’s prosocial behavior in the context of Chinese culture.

This third chapter offers a Czech introduction to a subdiscipline of social geography – disability geography, its development and main research topics. It also grounds the whole book and our project in a broader thinking about the relationship between space and the body. In between the general beginning towards a concrete ending of this book, it turns our attention from the study of disability to space and shows how space participates on social disadvantage and this disadvantage is inscribed in space. The chapter focuses on the interactions of diverse bodies with diverse space and notices, what these interactions enable and what they disable, and how certain spaces participate in dis/abling and enabling of certain bodies. The question resonating through the whole book is “how space participates on disadvantaging of our bodies”, or “how diversity of our bodies translates into the form of space”? The chapter is divided into two parts; the first one discusses geography of disability and tries to show how discussions within disability studies are transferred with some delay into disability geography, where they interact with the research on space. The second part is devoted to three selected examples of space experience: the experience of people with physical impairment, the experience of people with sight impairment and the experience of „d/Deaf“ people. Each of the examples discusses two or three broader topics that have represented or might represent key research streams of the respective spatial experience. Thus, first example introduces research on space accessibility and everyday experience of wheelchair users, the example of people with sight impairment mentions imagining space, and the influence of assistive technologies and weather on experience with space, and the example of “d/Deaf” people comments on identity research, DeafSpace, and virtual space. The end of the chapter connects the two parts and concludes by presenting the phases of disability geography that study the mentioned topics.
Navrhování digitální přístupnosti měst
Authors: Suchá Ladislava , Martinek Jan , Škop Stanislav
Published: February 2022

The fourth chapter outlines the context and methods for designing accessible, usable, and useful urban services. Digital services are introduced as an integral part of city services, connecting urban infrastructure with the services of a city (an example of digital urban service in the context of removing barriers can be accessibility maps). At the beginning, methods that help municipalities to design better services are presented, focusing on the digital aspect and being part of so-called human-centered design or design thinking. Special attention is devoted to dual diamond method, characterized by combination of methods to be able to better determine and analyze the needs of potential users, and to create and test the developing design. Involvement of future users is of key importance not only in the preparatory phase, but also through participative design and user-oriented evaluation. As the methods are very broad, it is necessary to include representatives of various skills and multidisciplinary perspectives. The chapter also offers three criteria for evaluating good public digital services – accessibility, usability, and usefulness. Each of these concepts is discussed in more detail, in order to equip the readers with the cues to their own evaluation. At the very end, the chapter offers a critical summary of contemporary approaches to design, taking into account – among others – also the perspective of people with disability.
Budování strategie přístupnosti města

Published: February 2022

The sixth chapter describes the making of a concrete document for a designated time, i.e., the Strategic plan for gradual removal of barriers in 2021–2030, which was created for the Brno City Advisory Board for Accessibility. The authors chose to introduce it via the perspective of a dialogic space that enables to organize the procedure composed from a variety of voices, opinions, and arguments. The heteroglossia metaphor is exemplified by the concept of “carnival” of Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin, when “strangers” speaking in different “voices” are brought together. At the beginning, there were activities by several individuals mostly from NGO and academic environment, who started to integrate and institutionalize accessibility policies. For the latter, political support of established actors was necessary, and thanks to it, the above-mentioned Advisory Board was founded. Therefore, the positions of the bursar and the chair of the board are labeled “victorious voices” in our “carnival”. Subsequently, the semi-structured interviews tried to determine visions, attitudes and priorities of all involved persons, namely “the voices of Advisory board members”. Their strategic plan defined target groups, on whom the accessibility policies would focus (senior citizens, parents with strollers, wheelchair users and people with sight or hearing impairment). At the same time, the “legislative voices” needed to be respected, which were to ensure accessibility for all social groups. The principles of tactical urbanism were used to make space accessible within functional wholes and according to societal needs. The final document was also influenced by the “voices of users” that helped to identify spaces, which should be prioritized. Our “voices of producers” had a dominant influence over the working draft of all three parts of the document (analysis, suggestions, and implementation). What appeared to be of crucial importance, was the definition of individual goals, measures and activities leading to the realization of the vision (processional, realization and educational priorities in the document). The process of creation also allowed “expert voices”, who modelled the final form of the document in meetings and workshops. Last but not least, “voices of approval“ (namely, the city council and municipality) took part in the process that authorized the strategic plan and rounded off more than three years of its complex construction.
Study of the Visceral Adipose Tissue in a Cohort of Patients with Moderate-Severe Psoriasis Treated with Biological Therapy
Authors: Ruiz-Villaverde Ricardo , Ruiz-Carrascosa Jose Carlos
Published: February 2022

Introduction: Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) has a greater relationship with the genesis of the metabolic syndrome and the pathology associated with obesity.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of patients with moderate-severe psoriasis in the Psoriasis Unit of the San Cecilio University Hospital in Granada in the period July 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020, was performed. All the patients (n = 110) were receiving biological therapy to control the disease. The variables measured included age, sex, time since diagnosis, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), visceral and total fat, and severity parameters. The visceral fat index was evaluated using a bioimpedance scale, considering a cut-off point for a healthy level < 12.
Results: Our sample consisted of 110 patients with a mean age of 47.47 years, with a clear predominance of males (61.7% of patients). After testing for normality using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, the Mann-Whitney U test for nonparametric data for independent samples was used, which revealed significant differences between the number of previous treatments and visceral fat (U = -2.235, P = 0.025). No statistically significant differences were found when correlating total fat or visceral fat with BMI.
Conclusions: The results presented lead us to consider if the levels of VAT could be a factor that contributes to some extent to therapeutic refractoriness. The determination of VAT using bioimpedance scales in patients with moderate-severe psoriasis is a valuable method to measure VAT.
"Mole removal" on Instagram hashtags: A cross-sectional analysis
Authors: Güder Semih , Güder Hüsna
Published: February 2022

Introduction: With the increase in the use of social media, there is a steady increase in demand for medical, surgical, and cosmetic procedures. Dermatologists and other physicians are leaving their cosmetic practice to non-physician service providers to keep up with the growing demand for cosmetic procedures.
Objectives: To examine the gender, professions, and the method of nevi treatment of the profiles using #bensilme and #moleremoval hashtags on Instagram and to investigate the extent of cosmetic procedures comparing Turkey’s situation with other countries.    
Methods: In Instagram, the most frequently used hashtags about nevus treatment were scanned by two dermatologists. We recorded profession, gender, country of origin, and the treatment method of nevi of profiles sharing the related posts.
Results: The countries with the highest share of the #moleremoval hashtag were the United Kingdom (15%), India (12%), and the United States of America (10.5%), and the proportion of physicians in these countries was 16.7%, 100%, and 71.4%, respectively. In the non-physician group, plasma pen method in our country is the most used method (Turkey: 97.9%, world: 75% respectively), but the use of radiofrequency cautery (world: 12.5%, Turkey: 1% respectively) and cryo pen (world: 7.5%, Turkey: 0.0%) methods were significantly more abroad.
Conclusions: We demonstrated that non-physicians mostly perform nevus destruction procedures. Physicians must use social media more actively to share educational, quality, and accurate information. We suggest that the hashtags used by physicians in their social media posts should be chosen from the words used in the folk language.
The Predicative Role of ‘Being Good’ in Aristotle
Authors: Alesse Francesca ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2022

The article proposes a renewed analysis of the texts in which Aristotle claims that the term ‘good’ is spoken of in many ways and more precisely in as many ways as there are categories. After a revision of the traditional interpretations, a new reading of the texts is advanced in the light of the theory of predication described in Top. 103 b20-38 and Metaph. 1017 a7-30. The conclusion is that in the Aristotelian passages on the multivocity of ‘good’, the word ‘good’ should not be meant as the predicate of categorially distinct realities, and therefore as a qualifying adjective, but itself as the subject of the question what is it? (τί ἐστι;) In this way, it is possible to advance the hypothesis that the homonymous notion of ‘good’ performs a predicative function, useful to the formulation of practical and prescriptive propositions.
Anchoring Innovation in the Platonic Axiochus
Authors: Joosse Albert ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2022

As the youngest work in the Platonic corpus, the Axiochus interacts with other texts in the corpus as well as with its contemporary philosophical milieu. How it does so, however, and what the purpose of the work is, is still unclear. This paper proposes a new theoretical approach to this text, arguing that the Axiochus anchors a number of innovations. It discusses three innovations in particular: the introduction of philosophical therapy in Platonism, the use of Epicurean arguments in Academic philosophy, and a renovated Platonism on the contemporary philosophical scene. The Axiochus aims, so this paper argues, to make these innovations acceptable to different audiences by anchoring them in the Socratic dialogue and the therapeutic paradigm of philosophy, respectively.
Xenophon and Plato’s Meno
Authors: Altman William H. F. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2022

Not only was it a reference to Ismenias the Theban (Men. 90a4-5) that allowed nineteenth-century scholars to establish a date of composition for Plato’s Meno on the basis of Xenophon’s Hellenica but beginning with “Meno the Thessalian” himself, immortalized as a scoundrel in Xenophon’s Anabasis, each of the four characters in Plato’s dialogue is shown to have a Xenophontic resonance, thus revealing Meno to be Plato’s tombeau de Xénophon.
Mind and Necessity in Timaeus’ Hepatology
Authors: Coulter Evan ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2022

Analogies between the human and the cosmos run throughout Plato’s Timaeus. Timaeus claims that the cosmos came to be as mind’s “persuasion of necessity.” This paper argues that an anthropological equivalent to this “persuasion” can be found in Timaeus’ suggestive account of the human liver. Mediating between intellect and desire, the organ shows the problem of mind and necessity reflected in the human soul.
Authentic Freedom and Happiness
Authors: Ghigi Nicoletta , Calcagno Antonio ,   Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy
Published: February 2022

This article seeks to advance a way of being in the world of the hu-man person that encompasses both the truest sense of freedom of choice and its result, namely, happiness. Starting from the proposal of a relational ethics in Stein I intend to show how, in the authentic relationship through Einfühlung, it is possible to arrive at the “revelation” of what is deeper in ourselves, i.e., the personal core that characterizes us as unique and unrepeatable entities. The growth and development of our personalities occurs coherently with who we are. But the “choice” to adhere to the authenticity of a deep self is a choice of freedom that also leads one to harmony, to the acceptance of one’s finitude and weaknesses, and thus to living well with who one “really” is. This result coincides with being happy.
We Still Do Not Know What a Body Can Do
Authors: Novak Kyle ,   Canadian Society for Continental Philosophy
Published: February 2022

Throughout much of his career, Deleuze repeats a problem he attributes to Spinoza: “we do not even know what a body can do.” The problem is closely associated with Deleuze’s parallelist reading of Spinoza and what he calls ethology. In this article, I argue that Deleuze takes ethology to be a new model for philosophy which he intends to replace ontology. I ground my claim in Deleuze’s sugges-tion that Spinoza offers philosophers the means of “thinking with AND” rather than “thinking for IS.” The argument is developed through Deleuze’s monographs and collaborations on Spinoza and alongside his meta-philosophical critique of the Image of Thought.

Authors: Stojković Stefanija , Obrenović Bojana
Published: February 2022

This research aims to present the most optimal solution in terms of position and number of orientation points (GCP) for surveying using the UAV method in the area of the suburban settlement of Duboko in Umka. The images were processed in the AgiSoft software using the SfM - Structure from Motion approach, which is integrated within this software system. At the very beginning of the study, reference data which was obtained by processing with a complete set of 36 reliable reference points, were declared as "truth". The result of different combinations, which were created based on four rules defined in the process of selecting points, were analyzed and compared with "truth" values. Based on that analysis, the most optimal result was the combination of 20 GCP evenly distributed in the survey area of 50 ha.
Estimation of pollutant emissions from traffic using microsimulation models
Authors: Stanković Stamenka , Đorić Vladimir , Kajalić Jelena
Published: February 2022

Traditional traffic management methods are mainly focused on travel time optimization, ie minimizing control delay. The modern approach is increasingly emphasizing the minimization of negative impacts of traffic on the environment. Therefore, it is important to enable the evaluation of different traffic management strategies from the aspect of pollutant emissions. Microscopic simulation models enable detailed (second-by-second) representation of traffic flow, which creates a precondition for integration with emission models to enable this aspect of evaluating different management strategies. The paper presents the possibility of integrating the microscopic simulation model VISSIM and the emission model MOVES. It was concluded that this integration enables the comparison of different management strategies from the aspect of emissions of various pollutants.
Gender mainstreaming in social and economic development
Authors: Pajvančić Marijana
Published: February 2022

Public policies in the field of gender equality start from the multisectoral nature of this area, which requires the integration of a gender perspective into public policies in all areas of social life. It is also the obligation of the state prescribed by the Constitution of Serbia to pursue a policy of equal opportunities and take measures in order to create an environment in which women and men equally decide on issues important for their position and the development of society. In this context, the new approach to public policies in which the development of society is projected and measures important for overcoming the gender gap and achieving gender equality are reflected through two indicators, which are listed in this paper. Starting from these premises, the new Law on Gender Equality and the National Strategy for Gender Equality link gender equality to development issues as a factor in encouraging the overall development of society, which includes sustainable development for all. These policy documents set the framework and opportunities for comprehensive gender mainstreaming in areas where this has been lacking so far.

A poluição por odores do aterro é um componente dos poluentes que afetam o meio ambiente humano. Questões e reclamações de odores do aterro foram feitas por meio da mídia, reclamações oficiais e protestos de pessoas que moram perto da Central de Processamento e Tratamento de Resíduos (CPTR) Marituba ou comumente chamado aterro sanitário de Marituba. Este estudo tenta obter o feedback das pessoas que vivem perto do aterro sanitário; para isso foi conduzido um estudo por meio de um questionário aplicado aos moradores do entorno do aterro em um raio de 4 km do aterro. O estudo envolve uma pesquisa de percepção para determinar a influência do aterro sanitário no nível social, de saúde, bem-estar, influência do governo na problemática, percepção da qualidade do ar e desconforto. Os resultados dos questionários mostram que os riscos que a população percebe de viver próximo ao aterro de Marituba estão relacionados à sua saúde física e aos efeitos no ambiente físico e social. Os moradores estão insatisfeitos com a qualidade do ar devido a maus odores que causa a CPTR Marituba na área. No contexto da discussão sobre à autopercepção do impacto da CPTR Marituba, isso mostra que os odores e proximidade com o aterro, produz uma emoção negativa e de descontento na população. O estudo encontrou consenso de que o cheiro intenso do aterro de Marituba causa desconforto aos moradores assim como também é uma possível causa de doenças respiratórias. Além disso, a população atribui a presença de moscas como uma maior possibilidade de contrair uma doença gastrointestinal assim também como doenças transmitidas por vectores como Zika, dengue e chikungunya. Por outro lado, os resultados das entrevistas mostram que há uma variação temporária na qualidade do ar, sendo o cheiro pior no período noturno, depois de ter acontecido chuvas e na estação de inverno. Os resultados desta pesquisa devem ser levados em conta na definição de políticas públicas para a localização de novos aterros sanitários e na implementação de ações para mitigar o impacto negativo dos aterros existentes.

The aim of this paper was to provide suggestions for good sports training and to help primary and secondary school students to improve their physical and mental health. It was also discussed the impact of digital transformation on students' sports training. The authors used qualitative analysis, synthesis and inductive methods. They also used experimental testing methods and experience. The authors consider physical education as a prerequisite for the development of other aspects of education. They explain the benefits of sports by stating that primary and secondary school students who participate in sports have the following benefits: they are healthier, they avoid the effects of technology and bad habits, they make friends, have fun, build social confidence, interact socially and learn to deal with failure. In conclusion, primary and secondary school students can successfully and safely improve their overall health by participating in a well-supervised sport training. Trained fitness professionals play an essential role in ensuring proper technique, form, progression of exercises, and safety in this age group.

Horseshoe lung is a very rare congenital malformation in which the bases of the right and left lung are fused to each other by a narrow isthmus. Although rare, a hyperlucent area in the lower left lung, close to the vertebral column, may represent a horseshoe lung. Horseshoe lung is often associated with scimitar syndrome. Here, we present a case of a 2-year-old girl who presented with recurrent chest infections and wheezing associated with horseshoe lung. The right lung appeared to be hypoplastic.

Background. The Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score is a simple bedside tool validated outside of the intensive care unit (ICU) to identify patients with suspected infection who are at risk for poor outcomes. Objectives. To assess qSOFA at the time of ICU referral as a mortality prognosticator in adult medical v. surgical patients with suspected infection admitted to an ICU in a resource-limited regional hospital in South Africa (SA). Methods. We conducted a retrospective cohort study on adult medical or surgical patients that were admitted to an ICU in a resource-limited hospital in SA. We performed univariate and multivariable logistic regression and compared nested models using likelihood ratio test, and we calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Results. We recruited a total of 1 162 (medical n=283 and surgical n=875) participants in the study who were admitted to the ICU with suspected infection. qSOFA at the time of ICU referral was highly associated with but poorly discriminant of in-ICU mortality among medical (odds ratio (OR) 2.60, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19 - 5.71; p=0.02; AUROC 0.60; 95% CI 0.53 - 0.67; p=0.02) and surgical (OR 2.74; 95% CI 1.73-4.36; p<0.001; AUROC 0.60; 95% CI 0.55 - 0.65; p=0.04) patients. qSOFA model performance was similar between medical and surgical subgroups (p≥0.26). Addition of qSOFA to a baseline risk factor model including age, sex, and HIV status improved the model discrimination in both subgroups (medical AUROC 0.64; 95% CI 0.56 - 0.71; p=0.049; surgical AUROC 0.69; 95% CI 0.64 - 0.74; p<0.0001). Conclusion. qSOFA was highly associated with, but poorly discriminant for, poor outcomes among medical and surgical patients with suspected infection admitted to the ICU in a resource-limited setting. These findings suggest that qSOFA may be useful as a tool to identify patients at increased risk of mortality in these populations and in this context.
