Authors: Jardson Silva  , Barbosa Silva Dayse , Araújo Gomes Rayssa , Pereira Braga Liliane
Published: September 2023

Introdução: A violência contra as mulheres tem se apresentado como um grave problema de saúde pública e uma violação aos direitos humanos. A fim de contribuir com a inibição desse fenômeno e intensificar a divulgação da Lei Maria da Penha, surge o Agosto Lilás. Dessa forma, a educação em saúde se apresenta como uma importante estratégia de enfrentamento a esta violência. Objetivo: Descrever a experiência da realização de ação de educação em saúde sobre o enfrentamento à violência doméstica e familiar contra as mulheres em um hospital regional do interior do Rio Grande do Norte (RN), utilizando a Roda de Conversa como metodologia e tendo o Agosto Lilás como referência. Metodologia: Trata-se de um relato de experiência sobre a ação realizada na Clínica Obstétrica de um hospital regional situado no município de Currais Novos, localizado no interior do estado do Rio Grande do Norte, em agosto de 2022. Resultados: Percebeu-se boa participação do público e que os acompanhantes já conheciam alguns tipos de violência. No entanto, as profissionais apresentaram poucos conhecimentos acerca da temática, o que acarreta a desinformação sobre o que fazer quando estas demandas chegarem ao serviço de saúde. Conclusões: É evidente a importância de se trabalhar a temática em diversos momentos, não somente no Agosto Lilás, mesmo este mês se destacando com extrema relevância. Além disso, também é essencial discutir o tema em todos os espaços da rede intersetorial, com intuito de propagar informações e incentivar a articulação em rede para a superação desta problemática.

A violência contra a mulher, considerada uma epidemia silenciosa, é uma trágica questão global que atinge mulheres no aspecto individual, mas que repercute em toda a sociedade ao ferir o direito de liberdade, dignidade e respeito. Ao longo dos anos aqui no Brasil, o mês de agosto vem se consolidando como o mês da campanha de enfrentamento à violência contra a mulher, o “Agosto Lilás”.  A Marcha das Margaridas, realizada recentemente no nosso país, neste mesmo mês do corrente ano de 2023, ressaltou o quanto as mulheres ainda precisam debater esse assunto e trazer o problema da violência à tona, para que suas vozes não sejam  caladas, seus corpos não sejam atingidos e seus pensamentos não sejam reprimidos.
Exploring Pedagogical Dissonance in including Acupuncture Treatment
Approach into A Western Biomedical Evidence-based Physiotherapy
Curriculum
Authors: Anjos Ana , Corten Lieselotte , Goncalves Nuno , Maart Soraya
Published: September 2023

Background:

In the past several years, acupuncture has been used more often to manage pain, either in conjunction with other therapies or as a complementary treatment. Evidence also points to a rise in physiotherapists’ interest in acupuncture.

Main Objectives:

The goal of performing a cross-sectional survey was to identify the characteristics of physiotherapists who use acupuncture in their relevant
practice and also to explore what views participants had regarding the inclusion of acupuncture in the physiotherapy curriculum.

Methodology::

A quantitative cross-sectional survey methodology was used in the investigation. Through pilot studies and expert input, an online survey was
developed and validated. The South African Society of Physiotherapy (SASP), the Physiotherapy Association of South Africa (PASA), and the
Emirates Physiotherapy Society (EPS) used email and social media to distribute the questionnaire to physiotherapists in order to gather data. These
countries were specifically chosen based on language and researcher familiarity with the organizations. One hundred eighty-one physiotherapists
who were members of the appropriate professional associations in South Africa and the United Arab Emirates were included in the study as a
convenient sample. Active physiotherapists who have treated patients within the previous six months and consented to take the survey were
eligible to participate. The study had no exclusion criteria.

Conclusion::

The survey had varied results, although most respondents recognized the value of acupuncture in the practice of physiotherapy. However, the
majority of participants did not think that physiotherapy alone is ineffective. Overall, the survey results showed that some respondents preferred
postgraduate acupuncture education over including acupuncture in undergraduate education. Notably, despite the majority of physiotherapists
having bachelor’s degrees, the survey data showed that many of them possessed practical experience in acupuncture.

Authors: Yang Liyuan , Lou Xiaoli , Hao Shanshan , Zhou Li , Hou Yanqiang
Published: September 2023

Sepsis is a syndrome involving complex pathophysiological and biochemical dysregulation. Nanotechnology
can improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of sepsis and contribute to the development
of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to further reduce the risk of sepsis. Macrophages play a key role
in the progression of sepsis, thus, macrophage-associated pathological processes are important targets for both
diagnostic and treatment of sepsis. In this paper, we reviewed efforts in the past decade of nanotechnologybased
solutions for manipulate macrophages in sepsis diagnosis and management according to the type of nanomaterial.
We addressed the latest progress of nanoparticles targeting macrophages for early sepsis detection.
Additionally, we summarized the unique advantages of macrophage-targeted nanoparticles in the treatment of
sepsis. These nanoparticles can improve the dysregulation of inflammatory response in sepsis by inhibiting the
release of inflammatory factors and regulating macrophage apoptosis, activity and polarization. Finally, we present
future opportunities as well as challenges of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies with the aim of accelerating
the clinical translation of nanomedicine for sepsis treatment.

Published: September 2023

Drug discovery and development (DDD) is a highly complex process that necessitates precise
monitoring and extensive data analysis at each stage. Furthermore, the DDD process is both timeconsuming
and costly. To tackle these concerns, artificial intelligence (AI) technology can be used,
which facilitates rapid and precise analysis of extensive datasets within a limited timeframe. The pathophysiology
of cancer disease is complicated and requires extensive research for novel drug discovery
and development. The first stage in the process of drug discovery and development involves identifying
targets. Cell structure and molecular functioning are complex due to the vast number of molecules that
function constantly, performing various roles. Furthermore, scientists are continually discovering novel
cellular mechanisms and molecules, expanding the range of potential targets. Accurately identifying the
correct target is a crucial step in the preparation of a treatment strategy. Various forms of AI, such as
machine learning, neural-based learning, deep learning, and network-based learning, are currently being
utilised in applications, online services, and databases. These technologies facilitate the identification
and validation of targets, ultimately contributing to the success of projects. This review focuses on the
different types and subcategories of AI databases utilised in the field of drug discovery and target identification
for cancer.
T Lymphocytes in the Pathogenesis and Progression of Alzheimer’s
Disease: Pursuing Direct Neuropathological Evidence
Authors: Han Peng Cheng , Hamlett Eric Daniel
Published: September 2023

Multiple studies have proposed important roles of T cells in the pathogenesis of
Alzheimer’s disease. Given the successful application of immune-based therapy for cancer and a
variety of diseases, T cell-modifying therapy becomes an attractive way to develop new therapies
for Alzheimer’s disease and perhaps neurodegenerative diseases in general. However, most of these
studies address peripheral T cell responses, while direct pathological evidence documenting T
cell infiltration relative to Alzheimer’s disease pathological markers (i.e., amyloid plaque and neurofibrillary
tangle) is sparse and at best, very preliminary in both human subjects and relevant animal
models. Here, we concisely summarize the available pathological data that directly corresponds
to T cell infiltration, critically analyze the current knowledge gaps, and thoughtfully propose
several key recommendations for future research.
Regulating Tumorigenicity and Cancer Metastasis through TRKA
Signaling
Authors: Fan Yichao , Zhang Boya , Du Xinhui , Wang Bangmin , Yan Qiang , Guo Liangyu , Yao Weitao
Published: September 2023

Tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) A, TRKA, is a specific binding receptor of nerve
growth factor (NGF), which plays an essential role in the occurrence and progression of human cancers.
TRKA overexpression has been proven to be a powerful carcinogenic driver and has been verified
in many tumors. The TRKA receptor kinase domain is over-activated in an NGF-dependent manner,
accompanied by activation of downstream signal pathways, such as RAS-MAPK, PI3K-AKT,
JAK2-STAT3 pathway, PLC γ pathway, and Hippo pathway, which participate in tumor cell proliferation,
invasion, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), perineural invasion (PNI), drug resistance,
and cancer pain. In addition, chimeric oncogenes produced by the fusion of NTRK1 and other genes
are also the direct cause of tumorigenesis and cancer development. The newly developed TRK inhibitors
can improve symptoms and tumor regression in cancer patients with overexpression of TRKA or
NTRK1 fusion gene. With the emergence of drug resistance, next generation of TRK inhibitors can
still maintain strong clinical efficacy in the case of TRK kinase domain mutations, and these inhibitors
are in clinical trials. This review summarizes the characteristics and research progress of TRKA, focusing
on the regulatory role of the TRKA signal pathway in different tumors. In addition, we have summarized
the clinical significance of TRKA and the TRK inhibitors. This review may provide a new
reference for the study of the mechanism of TRKA in different tumors, and also provide a new perspective
for the in-depth understanding of the role of TRKA as a biomarker and therapeutic target in
human cancer.
Scaffold Proteins in Autoimmune Disorders
Authors: Joseph Josna , Mathew John , Alexander Jessy
Published: September 2023

Cells transmit information to the external environment and within themselves through
signaling molecules that modulate cellular activities. Aberrant cell signaling disturbs cellular homeostasis
causing a number of different diseases, including autoimmunity. Scaffold proteins, as the
name suggests, serve as the anchor for binding and stabilizing signaling proteins at a particular locale,
allowing both intra and intercellular signal amplification and effective signal transmission.
Scaffold proteins play a critical role in the functioning of tight junctions present at the intersection
of two cells. In addition, they also participate in cleavage formation during cytokinesis, and in the
organization of neural synapses, and modulate receptor management outcomes. In autoimmune settings
such as lupus, scaffold proteins can lower the cell activation threshold resulting in uncontrolled
signaling and hyperactivity. Scaffold proteins, through their binding domains, mediate protein-
protein interaction and play numerous roles in cellular communication and homeostasis. This
review presents an overview of scaffold proteins, their influence on the different signaling pathways,
and their role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and auto inflammatory diseases. Since these
proteins participate in many roles and interact with several other signaling pathways, it is necessary
to gain a thorough understanding of these proteins and their nuances to facilitate effective target
identification and therapeutic design for the treatment of autoimmune disorders.
Pegylated Nanoparticles for Brain Targeting- Opportunities and Challenges
Authors: Gupta Utsav , Sultana Shaheen
Published: September 2023

As the blood-brain barrier (BBB) stops hazardous substances from entering the brain, creating treatment strategies to treat central nervous system (CNS) conditions is difficult. By circumventing the BBB, nanotechnology has emerged as a viable method for targeted medicine delivery to the brain. PEGylated nanoparticles (PEGNPs) have shown the ability to encapsulate a range of drugs and deliver them to the deepest regions of the brain. PEGNPs are a helpful tool in preclinical research for CNS diseases because of their extreme flexibility. Before PEGNPs can be employed in clinical practise, however, issues with their design and optimization for efficient brain targeting, as well as their long-term safety, must be resolved. Moreover, it is crucial to comprehend the basic principles of PEGNP trafficking through the BBB and how they affect CNS cells. Despite these difficulties, PEGNPs have the potential to completely alter the way CNS diseases are treated by allow-ing for precise medication delivery to the brain. This review emphasizes the potential and difficul-ties in using PEGNPs for brain targeting and describes current breakthroughs in PEGNP research for CNS diseases.

Authors: Goni Bilkisu Ibrahim , Sundram Sonali , Sharma Rishav
Published: September 2023

Many industries use polysaccharide materials, such as those dealing with
food, food packaging, medicine delivery, tissue engineering, wound dressing,
wastewater treatment, and bioremediation. They were implemented in these spheres because
of their efficacy, low cost, non-toxicity, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. It's
well-known that many quick and easy techniques can be used to synthesize polysaccharides
successfully. Nanotechnology and biotechnology have combined to create nanoparticles
that are effective carriers for a wide range of medicines. Numerous researchers in
the field of drug delivery are interested in polysaccharides because of their countless desirable
properties, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, and amenability
to modification. Gene delivery nanoparticles can be prepared from a variety of
polysaccharides and their derivatives, with chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and dextran being
popular choices. This manuscript provides an overview of the chemical and physical
properties of polysaccharides that are of particular interest for use in biomedical applications
and then discusses recent advances in the production of polysaccharide-based nanoparticles
for gene delivery.

Authors: Hapsari Anindita Dwi , Widhiarso Wahyu
Published: September 2023

The impact of item parceling to improve model fit indexes in confirmatory factor analysis has been on debate amongst psychometricians. In this study, the effectiveness of item parceling was examined using Tes Potensi Akademik Pascasarjana (PAPS) or Postgraduate Academic Potential Test in Universitas Gadjah Mada. Item parceling approach, second-order approach, and item-based approach of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used for examination. Data were collected from a sample of 1374 postgraduate candidates in 2017. The result found that model fit indices such as the chi-squared test, comparative fit index, Tucker-Lewis index, and standardized root mean square residual were improved in the item parceling approach when compared to item based approach. Interestingly, the root mean square error of approximation were deteriorating in the item parceling approach. The finding of this study suggested that model dimensionality and sample size should be carefully considered when using the item parceling approach.

Authors: Ñañez-Silva Miriam , Quispe-Calderón Julio , Santos-Jiménez Ofelia
Published: September 2023

In Peru, ongoing educational reforms have introduced evaluative measures to ensure that university educational institutions meet essential quality standards. However, the outcomes of these measures have raised concerns, highlighting the need for stronger collaboration, teamwork, and staff commitment among both teachers and educational administrators. This research investigates the intricate relationship between teacher management and job satisfaction within the Faculty of Business Sciences at the National University of Cañete. To operationalize the variables, we align with the Accreditation Model for University Higher Education Studies Programs, as proposed by the National System of Evaluation, Accreditation, and Certification of Educational Quality (SINEACE). Key dimensions considered include selection, evaluation, training, improvement, adequacy of teaching staff, recognition of teaching activity, and academic development plans. Employing a quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational design, we conducted a comprehensive survey targeting the entire faculty population (comprising 120 teachers). Additionally, a documentary review guide was utilized. Our findings reveal a substantial positive correlation (0.715) between the variables under study and a moderate correlation between these variables and their respective dimensions. Consequently, we conclude that effective teacher management is pivotal in ensuring compliance with quality standards, ultimately bolstering job satisfaction as a vital institutional asset.
Experiences of middle-aged individuals with lower extremity amputation caused by diabetic foot ulcer in China: A qualitative study (Preprint)
Authors: Gui Li , Xu Ziwei , Chen Kangyao , Wang Kuan
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a major complication of diabetes and a leading cause of lower extremity amputation (LEA). DFU disproportionately affects non-White populations, residents of densely populated areas, and people living in underdeveloped economies. In China, the amputation rate for individuals with DFU is 19.03%. The number of middle-aged people with DFU is increasing. LEA caused by DFU seriously impacts the physical and mental health of affected individuals, with high infection and re-ulceration rates and increased mortality. Middle-aged individuals with DFU-related LEA face unique challenges due to their important family and social roles. Understanding their experiences is vital in developing effective postoperative care interventions.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to understand the experiences of individuals who undergo LEA due to DFU.

METHODS

Semi-structured interviews were used in this qualitative descriptive study. Eleven middle-aged patients (45–59 years) who underwent LEA due to DFU were purposively selected and interviewed. Qualitative data were thematically analyzed.

RESULTS

Three themes and 10 subthemes were identified. The themes were (1) role function confusion, (2) self-concept stress, and (3) unreasonable objective support. Subthemes included (1) weakened career role, (2) family role reversal, (3) social role restriction, (4) over-focusing on appearance, (5) immersion in patient experience, (6) living with faith, (7) polarization of independent consciousness, (8) low perceived benefits of peer support, (9) existence of treatment disruption, and (10) poor participation in medical decision-making.

CONCLUSIONS

This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the multidimensional challenges faced by middle-aged individuals who undergo LEA due to DFU and sheds light on the experiences of patients in managing their roles. Although most study participants were able to adapt to the impact of limb loss on their self-perception, they continued to grapple with adjusting to changes in their physical appearance and coping with the psychological effects of limb loss. Our findings highlight the importance of post-LEA recovery and mental support for patients with DFU-related LEA, offering valuable insight for ongoing rehabilitation and treatment.

Authors: Gao Yangyang , Lu You , Wang Shiyan , Guo Mengran , Guo Yi , Zheng Menglin , He Lulu , Fan Ping
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND

The development of telemedicine and eHealth services has led to the rapid growth of Internet hospitals worldwide in recent years, which have played a significant role during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, little is known about the characteristics and safety of internet hospital outpatient pharmacy services (IHOPS), which represent a new model of pharmaceutical services.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to reveal the comprehensive characteristics and safety of whole-course-based internet hospital outpatient pharmacy services in a general tertiary hospital in western China.

METHODS

A whole-course-based internet hospital outpatient pharmacy service mode was established. A total of 373,936 online prescriptions from February 2020 to January 2023 were analyzed, which included information on patients, prescriptions and deliveries, the error rate of prescription reviews and medicine dispenses, the economic value, and the degree of patient satisfaction.

RESULTS

During the study, a total of 373,936 prescriptions, including 351,884 patients and 945,172 medications, were delivered to 22 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, and 4 municipalities in China. This service saved a total of more than 320,376 days (7,689,036 hours) and RMB 94.05 million in costs for patients. The error rates of prescription review and dispensing were 0.0011% and 0.0008%, respectively. In terms of department distribution, the infectious diseases department (n = 63,903, 17.09%) ranked first for the third year in a row. Among the 373,936 delivered prescriptions, 90.15% (337,104/ 373,936) were sent to Sichuan.

CONCLUSIONS

The IHOPS was found to be efficient, convenient and safe because it handled the challenge of precisely and safely delivering medications to patients on time during the COVID-19 pandemic and its end. The widespread use of the IHOPS could help alleviate pressure on pharmacists offline, as pharmacists have more energy to provide more professional services. To provide patients with safe and convenient pharmaceutical services beyond geographical and time-related limitations. This model is a useful reference for policymakers to support the development of internet pharmaceutical services. Further efforts need to regulate and standardize the management of this novel pharmaceutical service.

Published: September 2023

El Área Metropolitana de Mendoza es escenario de una expansión urbana desorganizada que produce transformaciones del suelo, generando costos ambientales, particularmente sobre el potencial de regulación climática del suelo, pero sin contemplarlos en la toma de decisiones. Por este motivo, se busca valorar económicamente estos impactos. Se plantea, como caso de estudio, un viñedo ubicado en Chacras de Coria, Luján de Cuyo. Los resultados muestran que si no se incorpora este servicio ecosistémico en el precio de venta de los terrenos hay una subestimación de su valor, lo que fomenta la forma desorganizada de crecimiento urbano.

Does Government Accounting Information Matter to Gain Votes? Evidence from Local Elections in Indonesia
Authors: Purwanti Dyah
Published: September 2023

Voting decisions have become a strategic tool to analyze whether voters consider an incumbent's economic policies make it worthwhile re-electing the incumbent. If a strong correlation between the information on economic policies and the election results could be proved, evidence would thus be found that government accounting captures data on the attributes of government finances, consistent with the information incorporated by constituents in their voting decisions. This study investigates the association between government accounting information and local election outcomes and observes two regional government clusters that held local elections in 2017 and 2018, in which 198 incumbents ran for office again. By employing regression analysis, this study finds that several accounting information items impact the vote acquisition of the incumbents. The specific finding is that budget accounting information has a more decisive influence on votes for the incumbents than financial accounting information does. The result implies budgetary accounting information that represents service performance is beneficial for gaining votes. The limitation that should be considered is the emphasis on the assumption of voter rationality, in which the voters accumulate performance information on the incumbents for their voting decisions. It is highly improbable that voters will allocate time to collecting and reading government financial statements on purpose.

Published: September 2023

This study compares the level of financial well-being (FWB) and its antecedents(financial stress, financial behaviour, financial literacy, and the internal locus of control(LOC)) across individuals of different employment categories in Malaysia. Second, it investigates the relationship between those antecedents and FWB and compares the differences in the strength. Data were collected from 1,867 respondents from four employmentgroups using a questionnaire-based survey. Descriptive statistics and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were conducted to achieve the first research objective, and ordinary leastsquares (OLS) regression was used to achieve the second research objective. The resultsindicate that FWB and its antecedents of Malaysian employees vary considerably acrossemployment categories. The FWB of the unemployed and private-sector workers is significantly lower than their government sector and self-employed counterparts. Financialstress, financial behavior, and an internal LOC are the most determinative of employees’FWB, however, they have varying degrees of impact across different employment categories. The results relate to employers and policymakers in formulating strategies to promotehigher FWB among Malaysian employees, based on their employment categories.

En este artículo se realiza un análisis de la soberanía y seguridad alimentaria, con principal énfasis en la equidad de género, a partir del trabajo de las mujeres en las quintas bonaerenses. En un primer momento, se presenta un análisis territorial de la producción de frutas y hortalizas en la Provincia de Buenos y los riesgos asociados a la producción de las mismas, a partir del sistema económico actual. Frente a ello, se propone la articulación con la educación para fortalecer la salud, el ambiente y la soberanía alimentaria. Como última instancia, y resaltando el rol de la educación en los aspectos centrales del artículo, Bajo el título de esta reseña, se presentan cuatro materiales educativos para la enseñanza de la alimentación desde el enfoque Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad (CTS), con el fin de romper con la presencia de diferentes esterotipos e imágenes inadecuadas de ciencia con una mirada androcentrista de la alimentación (Arango, 2020).
Dieta, química de la yerba mate y salud
Authors: García Lázaro Rocío
Published: September 2023

La dieta, definida como la suma de alimentos consumidos por una persona, tiene un rol preponderante tanto en la calidad de vida como en la salud integral de los individuos, ya que los nutrientes son capaces de afectar de manera directa determinados procesos celulares. Desde sus orígenes y hasta la actualidad, la yerba mate fue utilizada como infusión. Esta bebida ofrece aminoácidos, vitaminas, minerales y una gran cantidad de fitoquímicos, los cuales aportan beneficios para la salud. Es por esto que su composición ha invitado a muchos científicos a explorar las propiedades de este vegetal, en especial las antitumorales. A lo largo de los años se esbozaron diversas hipótesis en relación con el accionar de la yerba mate sobre esta patología. Hoy, gracias al aporte de la comunidad científica, sabemos que muchos compuestos químicos que forman parte de este vegetal se vinculan con la modulación de diversos ejes de señalización, los cuales impactan directamente sobre la biología del cáncer.

UTILIZAÇÃO AGRÍCOLA DE BIOSSÓLIDOS: ANÁLISE CRÍTICA DA RESOLUÇÃO CONAMA N° 498/2020
Authors: Paes Lucas Jediael de Souza , Ferreira-Santos Jussara , Dias Edgard Henrique Oliveira
Published: September 2023

Esse documento apresenta uma análise crítica-comparativa da atual Resolução CONAMA nº 498/2020 em relação à Resolução CONAMA nº 375/2006 e peças regulatórias internacionais emblemáticas, como a Norma 503 (EUA) e a Sludge Regulations (Reino Unido). As principais mudanças na Resolução CONAMA nº 498/2020 referem-se a certa “flexibilização” em termos de padrões microbiológicos (monitoramento laboratorial e/ou controle operacional) e usos e restrições de biossólidos Classes A e B. Adicionalmente, cita-se maior detalhamento sobre o tratamento de lodos de esgoto (produção de biossólidos) e parâmetros operacionais de Processos de Redução Significativa de Patógenos (PRSP; biossólidos Classe B) e Processos de Redução Adicional de Patógenos (PRAP; biossólidos Classe A), bem como implementação das Classes I e II de biossólidos quanto a parâmetros químicos. Mesmo com as alterações, a Resolução CONAMA nº 498/2020 pode ser considerada segura do ponto de vista de saúde pública, uma vez que, em princípio, foi baseada no conceito de dupla barreira de proteção e na abordagem de avaliação quantitativa de risco microbiológico (AQRM). Portanto, acredita-se que a legislação vigente, aliada a ações e políticas públicas e outros instrumentos legais de incentivo a utilização de biossólidos, pode alavancar a produção e aplicação agrícola de biossólidos no Brasil. É importante salientar, entretanto, a relevância de futuros aprimoramentos (tratamento de lodo de esgoto; critérios de qualidade, usos e restrições de biossólidos), através de pesquisas e metodologias científicas que comprovem e embasem processos de tomada de decisão.
CARBENDAZIM ADSORPTION ON GRANULAR ACTIVATED CARBON OF COCONUT SHELL: OPTIMIZATION AND THERMODYNAMICS

Published: September 2023

The adsorption of the fungicide Carbendazim (CBZ) on granular activated carbon (GAC) of coconut shell was investigated through batch tests in deionized water. The most favorable conditions for the adsorption of CBZ were examined through the variation of the mass of GAC, temperature, and contact time. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was applied, seeking the best adsorption condition to optimize future tests. A thermodynamic analysis was carried out using the Van't Hoff method. The tests with the dosage of 10 mg of GAC and temperatures of 25º C and 30º C showed higher adsorption of the fungicide. The Freundlich isotherm adjusted best to the adsorption of the compound. The Freundlich intensity parameter had a result that contrasted with the value of ΔG regarding a spontaneous change. Physisorption predominates the adsorption of CBZ on GAC. It is an exothermic and spontaneous process that reduces the degree of disorder of the adsorbent/solution interface.

A universalização dos serviços de saneamento é um fator essencial para garantir a qualidade de vida das pessoas. No entanto, no Brasil, o acesso a esses serviços ainda enfrenta diversos desafios. Em 15 de julho de 2020 foi sancionada a Lei nº 14.026, conhecida como o Novo Marco Legal do Saneamento, e apesar da regulação ser um passo importante para impulsionar a universalização, a nova lei estimula a lógica da mercantilização ao propor a privatização dos serviços por meio da criação de blocos, para que municípios vizinhos participem de uma mesma licitação e venham a ter os serviços prestados por uma mesma concessionária, sendo esta, a maneira encontrada para que as empresas privadas vislumbrem lucro no desenvolvimento dos serviços de saneamento, já que muitos municípios, individualmente, não geram lucro sobre o capital investido. Este é o caso de mais de 98% dos municípios do estado da Paraíba. Dentro desse contexto, este trabalho busca discutir o Novo Marco Legal do Saneamento a partir da lógica que apenas uma gestão democrática com aporte de recursos públicos é capaz de promover a universalização dos serviços. O trabalho também apresenta um panorama do saneamento na Paraíba e discute a questão da Lei Complementar nº 168. As conclusões constatam que ocorre no Brasil a aplicação de um modelo reprodutor de desigualdade e injustiça socioambiental. Portanto, é necessário entender que em serviços essenciais que garantem a dignidade humana, a presença de um Estado Democrático de Direito é primordial para proporcionar que toda a população seja atendida.

Micropoluentes emergentes (MPE) são substâncias detectadas no meio ambiente, seja água e solo, que podem alterar, de alguma forma, estes sistemas, além da saúde dos ser humano. Os processos de tratamento de água enquadrados como convencionais, geralmente, são ineficientes para remover os contaminantes. Assim, busca-se tecnologias alternativas de remoção efetiva para esse tratamento. Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura que objetivou exibir uma perspectiva sobre os MPE considerados elementos dos estudos, assim como técnicas de tratamento aplicadas e eficiências alcançadas, pautada em três plataformas de dados internacionais, com seleção de critérios de aceitação e rejeição fundamentado em protocolo de revisão. O estudo englobou o portifólio bibliográfico composto por 35 artigos primários, com citação de 109 MPE, pertencentes a 39 grupos, expostos a 44 técnicas voltadas ao tratamento. Como resultante dos dados, sintetizou-se estes em um ábaco. Observou-se significativa diversidade de princípios ativos, removidos por múltiplas técnicas de tratamento, necessitando de estudos para incorporação de técnicas que venham atuar associado ao tratamento convencional, de forma viável.

Abstract: Motor vehicle ownership has skyrocketed in the previous two decades. The World Health Organization (2015) reports that 53% of motorised vehicles are in middle-income countries and 46% in high-income nations. The latest predictions predict that by 2040, the number of cars made will grow. The worldwide tyre industry, which produces about a billion tyres, using over two-thirds of the world's natural rubber. India accounts for 6% of the world's 1.6 billion discarded tyres produced each year. In addition, India imports around three lakh tonnes of tyres for recycling each year. They are subjected to high-temperature thermochemical processes in order to create industrial oil and other derivatives. This paper attempts to summarise the most important regulations and procedures regarding the reuse and recycling of ELTs that are now being carried out in India as well as in other countries across the world. Additionally, it investigates in depth the option that presents India with the greatest potential for achieving safe end-of-life handling procedures for tyres
