Nephrometry scoring systems RENAL, PADUA, C-index, SPARE, and ZONAL NePhRO for prediction of partial nephrectomy outcomes
Authors: Guliev B. G. , Povago I. A.
Published: May 2024

Background. Modern imaging methods make it possible to detect kidney tumors at early stages which, along with active development of laparoscopic technologies, has led to an increase in the number of nephron-sparing surgeries and their effectiveness. The RENAL, PADUA, C-index, ZONAL NePhRO, and SPARE nephrometry score systems are actively used to predict outcomes of partial nephrectomy.

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of nephrometry scores in predicting the results of minimally invasive partial nephrectomy.

Materials and methods. The data on 90 patients who underwent laparoscopic or robotic partial nephrectomy at the Urology Center of the Mariinsky Hospital from September 2021 to May 2023 were retrospectively evaluated. There were 43 men (47.8 %) and 47 women (52.2 %). The median age of patients was 61 years (interquartile range (IQR) 48–69). Tumor of the left kidney was diagnosed in 46 (51.1 %) patients, and tumor of the right kidney in 44 (48.9 %) patients.

Results. Mean operative time was 132 ± 39 minutes. Median warm ischemia time and intraoperative blood loss were 15 minutes (IQR 12–20 min) and 150 mL (IQR 70–257.5), respectively. Mean hemoglobin level and red blood cell count before surgery were 132 ± 15 g/L and 4.6 ± 0.63 × 1012/L, respectively. After the surgery, the mean values were 119 ± 16 g/L and 4.06 ± 0.6 × 1012/L, respectively. Median creatinine and mean glomerular filtration rate before surgery were 83.5 µmol/L (IQR 72–97 µmol/L) and 76.9 ± 21 mL/min, respectively; in the early postoperative period, 83 µmol/L (IQR 70–100 µmol/L) and 76.4 ± 24 mL/min, respectively. The strongest relationship was established between the RENAL and PADUA scores (r = 0.907; p <0.001), a slightly weaker relationship was found for the PADUA and SPARE scores, as well as PADUA and C-index (r = 0.856; p <0.001 and r = –0.785; p <0.001, respectively). The RENAL score showed high predictive value in assessing the volume of intraoperative blood loss and operative time (r = 0.881; p = 0.001 and r = 0.854; p <0.001, respectively). The PADUA scale demonstrated high predictive efficiency for warm ischemia time (r = 0.775; p = 0.001). C-index significantly predicted the volume of intraoperative blood loss and operative time (r = –0.807; p <0.001 and r = –0.797; p = 0.001, respectively).

Conclusion. All of the above nephrometry scores showed high predictive efficiency, but the RENAL and PADUA scores were the most valuable.

Background. Hypofractionated radiation therapy is a standard radical approach for treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer of low and intermediate risk. Clinical practice of applying this approach in patients with high and very high risk of progression has not been established.

Aim: improving the effectiveness of hormonal/radiation therapy in patients with high and very high risk prostate cancer using an original radiotherapy technique.

Materials and methods. In 2012, a new technique of hypofractionated radiation therapy based on simultaneous integrated boost aimed at the prostate, seminal vesicles, and regional lymph nodes was developed at the Radiotherapy Department of the N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology. The phase II single-center prospective cohort trial included 40 patients with high and very high risk prostate cancer who received combination hormonal/ radiation therapy between 2012 and 2018. Median follow-up was 96 (61–124) months.

Results. None of the patients had grade III–IV adverse events (according to the RTOG/EORTC scale) in the distal parts of the gastrointestinal tract and urogenital system. Five-year biochemical and local controls were 80 % and 100 %, respectively.

Conclusion. The results of this study show that the developed hypofractionated radiation therapy technique is safe with 5-year biochemical control outcomes matching reported in the literature. However, to determine true clinical significance of the technique, initiation of a randomized phase III trial is required.

Over the past few years, the use of spacers to optimize radiation treatment of prostate cancer has become increasingly popular in radiotherapy practice. In Russia, the experience of clinical application of this technology is small and limited to few trials at federal centers. The technique of perineal implantation of a biodegradable spacer is invasive and requires the participation of specialists with appropriate manual skills. Therefore, informing urologists, urologic oncologists, and interventional radiologists on the methodological aspects of this procedure has significant practical importance.

The purpose of this work is to describe the methodology of using a new Russian medical device as a biodegradable spacer – a monophasic implantable gel (hydrogel) based on stabilized (cross-linked) hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin (EsteFILL intim), which makes it possible to reduce radiation exposure to the anterior wall of the rectum and has other positive effects (increased accuracy of radiation delivery, reduced risks of radiation-induced erectile dysfunction) in different radiotherapy methods of prostate cancer treatment. The described procedure was developed and approved at the Department of Radiotherapy of the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology. The design of the study implying implantation of the stabilized non-animal hyaluronic acid (EsteFILL intim) was approved by the local ethics committee (protocol No. 16 dated 21.09.2023) and approved as a promising research work at the meetings of the Problem Commission (protocol No. 125 dated 25.09.2023) and the Academic Council of the N.N. Petrov National Medical Research Center of Oncology (protocol No. 8 dated 26.09.2023).

Pathogenic heterozygous variants in the PIEZO2 gene cause distal arthrogryposis type 5 – a rare autosomal dominant disease, which is characterized by the development of congenital contractures, ophthalmoparesis, ptosis and restrictive respiratory disorders. We have presented clinical and genetic characteristics of seven Russian patients with distal arthrogryposis type 5  caused by previously described and newly identified nucleotide variants in the PIEZO2 gene. It was shown that the most severe clinical manifestations were found in patients with newly identified nucleotide variants c.8238G>A (p.Trp274Ter) and c.7095G>T (p.Trp2365Cys), while in patients with other previously described variants c.8181_8183delAGA (p.Glu2727del) and c.2134A>G (p.Met712Val) the clinical phenotype is more moderately expressed. The dynamics of phenotype formation were also noted. It has been shown that the disease progression may occur as the child grows and requires monitoring of this group of patients.

Zhu–Tokita–Takenouchi–Kim syndrome (ZTTK syndrome) is a rare autosomal dominant nuclear speckleopathy characterized by developmental delay, hypotonia, intellectual disability, facial dysmorphism in association with variable brain malformations, musculoskeletal abnormalities and ocular involvement. Currently, 87 cases of ZTTK syndrome have been described worldwide. The syndrome caused by mutations in the SON gene, located on the long arm of chromosome 21 (21q22.11). Nonsense and frameshift mutations have been described in the SON gene. Missense mutations, partial or whole gene deletions are less common.

The aim of the work is to analyze the clinical picture and molecular genetic results of patients with confirmed ZTTK syndrome and compare them with data from foreign literature.

We observed the one boy and two girls with ZTTK syndrome aged 13 months to 59 months, averaging about 38 months. DNA diagnostic was performed by next generation sequencing. All patients and all parents were confirmed by Sanger sequening. Three pathogenic variants were identified: c.5753_5756delTTAG (p.Val1918Glufs*87), c.1531del (p.Thr511Glnfs*9) and c.403delG (p.Glu135Asnfs*14). The first one was is most common, the other two are novel variants. Most patients had growth, motor and speech delay, seizures, hypotonia, congenital heart defects, urinary tract abnormalities and brain malformations. Comparative analysis of facial features in patients with ZTTK syndrome showed downslanting palpebral fissures, epicantal folds, broad or depressed nasal bridge, flared nares, smooth philtrum, thin upper lip and low set, rotated ears. The use of next generation sequencing as a first‑line test for research and diagnostic of ZTTK syndrome is advisable due to the pronounced clinical polymorphism.

Published: May 2024

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the role of Chief Privacy Officers (CPOs) has emerged as an important component in improving organizations' information privacy management and practices. Hence, a synthesis of CPO extant studies is critical for both academics and practitioners to understand the CPO's tasks and responsibilities and how such a role leads to positive privacy-related organizational outcomes. This paper addresses a gap in the organizational information privacy literature by presenting a comprehensive and systematic literature review of the CPO role from 2000 to 2020. With the increasing recognition of CPOs' pivotal roles in enhancing information privacy practices across diverse sectors, this review aims to synthesize recent articles, identify research themes, pinpoint knowledge gaps, and propose avenues for future research. The study's contribution lies in providing a comprehensive literature review at the intersection of two main IS research streams: information privacy and IS leadership. We find limited research on information privacy that examines the CPO's role within relevant journals and conferences. The central theme that emerges from the literature is about identifying the CPO managerial roles, responsibilities, and background. We conclude by calling for more empirical research for a better understanding of the role and its impact.
CAN RUSSIA’S UN VETO BE REMOVED?
Authors:   Calisia University, Kalisz, Poland, Sałkiewicz-Munnerlyn Ewa
Published: May 2024

This article examines the real status of the veto power in the UN Security Council in the light of its use by Russia and also offers ways to resolve the stalemate that has risen due to it. After the collapse of the USSR, its place as a permanent member of the UN Security Council was taken by Russia, without going through the procedure of admission to the Organization. Such a political decision led to Russia receiving the veto power in the UN Security Council and its abuse of this power. Russian military aggression against Ukraine raised the issue of veto reform before the UN. It is necessary to recall the essence of the veto power and develop legal instruments that would help to overcome the current situation and allow the UN, especially the Security Council, to act and achieve its tasks. The purpose of the article is to answer the question of whether it is possible to remove the veto power from the Russian Federation in the UN Security Council. Based on the rules of international law the article presents various ways of solving this issue with reasons of their feasibility and the possibility of their application. The author presents and analyzes the following options: 1) recognition of the veto power as illegal, 2) restriction of the use of the veto power, and 3) making appropriate changes to the UN Charter. Also, the obligation of the Russian Federation as a member of the UN Security Council to abstain from voting on issues connected with its aggression against Ukraine is considered, in particular, Russia's presidency in the UN Security Council in April 2023, the voting procedure and abstention from voting by members of the UN Security Council and the presiding country. The author of the article also addresses the issue of Russia's exclusion from the UN or suspension of its membership based on Article 5 of the UN Charter. In this context it is considered the possibility of China's veto on voting about exclusion of Russia from the UN and the possibility of reaching a compromise in this regard. Along with that, as an option for solving the problem of Russia's veto power in the UN Security Council, the author refers to the document of the General Assembly "Permanent mandate to conduct debates of the General Assembly when the veto is imposed in the Security Council" and the procedure indicated in it to overcome the imposed veto. In the article, the author raises the issue of the possibility of creating a new organization, as it was in 1945 with the creation of the United Nations and the termination of the League of Nations. In the conclusion, the author states that currently there is no consensus on the issue of reforming the veto power without amending the UN Charter, creating a new global organization instead of the UN, or excluding Russia from the UN.

Published: May 2024

In this article, the rules of Law of State Responsibility, International Environmental, Humanitarian and Criminal Law as well as the law of the European Union and Ukraine concerning the responsibility and liability for widespread, long-lasting and severe damage to the environment are analyzed. The authors consider the perspectives of the criminalization of ecocide in international law and the relevance of global efforts to combat climate change to the armed conflict in Ukraine. The overall purpose of the paper is to link the international community’s actions towards the addition of ecocide as the ‘Fifth Crime’ to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, global efforts in relation to climate change mitigation and accountability, on the one side, and the implementation of the responsibility of the Russian Federation for its aggressive war against Ukrainian sovereignty, territorial integrity, human lives and the natural environment, on the other. The article analyses the concept of state responsibility, individual criminal responsibility and strict liability with regard to environmental damage and crimes with a special emphasis on wartime environmental harm. The authors consider climate change as a crime of ecocide from the perspectives of state, corporate and individual responsibility and study the relevance of these issues to the armed conflict in Ukraine. The article pays a special attention to the idea of drafting the special Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Ecocide.

Published: May 2024

Bacterial vaginosis is one of the most common reasons for pathological discharge from the genital tract in women of reproductive age, which, among other things, is characterized by a high recurrence rate after standard antibacterial treatment. To date, issues related to the prevention and treatment of bacterial vaginosis have remained relevant and unresolved. This review article discusses the feasibility of using lactobacilli metabolites in the treatment and prevention of bacterial vaginosis, taking into account the data accumulated. The use of lactic acid as an additional second stage of bacterial vaginosis treatment can be considered as a way to improve the effectiveness of therapy and patient adherence to treatment, as well as to reduce the likelihood of recurrences.

Os quatro versículos analisados abrangem a educação pessoal, familiar e social. Essa proposta de sabedoria para a vida estabelece uma aliança que integra diálogo familiar geracional, amor afetuoso e racional, atividade de repouso e de trabalho, para se constituir num caminho de vida iluminado. Ao visitar um texto sapiencial antigo, o artigo visa lançar luzes sobre a proposta do Pacto Educativo Global e da Campanha da Fraternidade de 2022. Ao explicar os termos sapienciais do mundo bíblico, espera-se abrir novas inspirações para o processo pedagógico da atualidade.
BUSCAR O ESSENCIAL: ANÁLISE EXEGÉTICA DE QOH 1,1-11
Authors: Fernandes Leonardo Agostini , Silveira Rogério Goldoni
Published: May 2024

Resumo: Longe de introduzir de modo pessimista todo o livro de Q?helet, a perícope de Qoh 1,1-11 apresenta elementos que possibilitam compreender o autor como um sábio que ensina com amor e desperta na assembleia que dirige a busca pelo essencial, que passa pela observação atenta do movimento da natureza (Qoh 1,4-7) e da história (Qoh 1,8-11). Embora a frase “vazio de vazios, tudo é vazio” (Qoh 1,2) e “não há nada de novo sob o sol” (Qoh 1,9e) tenham sido propostas na história da interpretação de Q?helet como marcas do seu pessimismo, é possível compreendê-las a partir da perspectiva de quem se preocupa com o mundo que o cerca e tenta despertar o ouvinte-leitor para o novo. É nesse contexto que Qoh 1,1-11 contribui com a reflexão da Campanha da Fraternidade 2022, principalmente no que diz respeito a identificação de valores em vista de uma educação humanizadora.
PACTO EDUCATIVO GLOBAL: PAPA FRANCISCO E SUA CRÍTICA À RAZÃO NEOLIBERAL BASEADA NA IDEIA DE CAPITAL HUMANO
Authors: Maria Karolayne Camargo , Serafim Edelcio Ottaviani , Matheus Guilherme Damasceno
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo versa sobre a crise que assola a educação brasileira e analisa duas das propostas atuais que buscam enfrentá-la. A primeira, baseada no projeto neoliberal, se assenta sobre a noção de capital humano, que visa sobretudo ao lucro e à implantação de uma mentalidade empresarial, ao desonerar o Estado de suas obrigações em relação ao direito à educação e à preparação ao mercado de trabalho. A segunda proposta, idealizada pelo Papa Francisco, aponta para a necessidade de se reestabelecer um Pacto Educativo Global rompido pela tendência à terceirização da educação. Com base no dito africano é “necessária toda uma aldeia para educar uma criança”, o Pontífice nos convida a retomar a ideia de educação como um processo de desenvolvimento integral da pessoa, com o qual a sociedade inteira deve se comprometer. Nesse processo, as Comunidades Eclesiais, em particular as de Base (CEBs), se revelam como agentes privilegiados na chamada educação informal, ao complementar a aquisição das competências e habilidades da educação formal, e ao formar uma consciência cidadã. Num primeiro momento, o artigo analisará a crise educacional pela qual passa o Brasil; em seguida, buscará esclarecer as premissas da noção de Capital Humano (CH) e sua relação com o projeto neoliberal. Por fim, apresentará a proposta do Pacto Educativo Global, intimamente ligado aos princípios de solidariedade e subsidiariedade da Doutrina Social da Igreja, e ao tema da Campanha da Fraternidade 2022

LEODEGÁRIA BRAZÍLIA DE JESUS: A POESIA COMO PROCEDIMENTO E CHAMA EM GOIÁS
Authors: Araujo Cristiano Santos
Published: May 2024

Este ensaio tem por objeto a obra Corôa de Lyrios (1906) da poeta goiana Leodegária Brazília de Jesus (1889-1978). O objetivo deste texto é analisar, entre recortes, os 30 poemas do livro, 18 sonetos e 12 versos livres, bem como realizar uma ação honrosa e memorial ao pioneirismo de uma jovem mulher, goiana, preta, poeta e seus embates líricos como a primeira a publicar livro de poesia em Goiás. Destacam-se as pertinências literárias, sociais, acadêmicas e científicas no olhar mais atento sobre a obra da pioneira da poesia na velha Goiás a fim de auscultar as imagens, os sons e os silêncios do respirar lírico da poesia goiana do início do século XX. Como fonte primária utiliza-se o texto original de Leodegária que está integral por meio de fac-similes em Lavras de Goiases III (2001), organizado por Darcy França Denófrio, que também nos serve como fonte secundária em seus diversos comentários aos contextos literários e extraliterários sobre a obra e sobre a poeta. Para tal empreitada da base conceitual têm-se três críticos literários, um russo, um francês, e um inglês: Viktor Chklovski (1984) no texto A Arte como procedimento; Gaston Bachelard (1989) na obra A chama de uma vela; Terry Eagleton (2006) no conceito sobre O que é literatura? Não obstante à fonte primária, em diálogo com as fontes secundárias, prioriza-se neste ensaio o texto literário leodegariano e a interioridade do eu lírico juvenil primevo. Dessa forma, faz-se uma metacrítica literária da arte da poesia como procedimento e chama de uma maneira peculiar de pensar por imagens da poeta Leodegária Brazília de Jesus na percepção dos operadores do logos em si e logos do outro no procedimento da essência lírica pioneira da poesia goiana.
EU VIM PARA QUE TUDO TENHA VIDA: INTERSECÇÕES ENTRE BÍBLIA E JUSTIÇA SOCIOAMBIENTAL
Authors: Silva Daniel Carvalho
Published: May 2024

O presente artigo interpela como se estruturam as relações tecidas entre a ideia bíblica de Justiça e o conceito atual de justiça socioambiental. Tal feita fundamenta-se sobre o alargamento do conceito bíblico e jurídico e seu emprego em âmbitos religiosos, especialmente pela Igreja Católica. Em razão disso, o objeto investigado diz respeito ao magistério do Papa Francisco, com especial destaque para a Carta Encíclica Laudato Si’ e para a Exortação Apostólica Querida Amazônia. Por meio de pesquisa exploratório-bibliográfica identificamos no arcabouço da hermenêutica bíblica e da Teologia da Criação os indícios para tal vinculação. Os resultados encontrados indicam que as aproximações, iluminadas pelo Papa, entre justiça social e justiça ambiental são parte integrante da fé cristã e possui raízes profundas já na tradição judaica.
A SÍNDROME DE BURNOUT ENTRE OS PADRES
Authors: Fernandez Gustavo Cortez , Lemos Carolina Teles
Published: May 2024

A síndrome de Burnout é um dos diagnósticos mais frequentes no clero, sobretudo entre os padres diocesanos. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar, por meio de fontes bibliográficas, se as causas desse tipo de transtorno psíquico entre os padres têm relação (e como se dão essas relações) com a vontade de sentido do ser padre no contexto da secularização. Constatamos que: 1) a causa motriz da síndrome de Burnout entre os padres relaciona-se com a vontade de sentido do sacerdote; 2) uma melhor integração do sacerdote à sua vontade de sentido e ao contexto secular tende a levar a melhores condições de saúde; 3) os adoecimentos psíquicos do clero apontam para sinais de uma evangelização desgastada e com pouco sentido nos dias atuais. Esses resultados abrem caminhos de pesquisa para se perscrutarem os sentidos de ser padre hoje e as condições do exercício do ministério sacerdotal na atualidade.

The military can put nanocellulose to good use by developing self-repairing and self-diagnosing materials. Nanocellulose is eight times stronger than stainless steel and has ten times the strength of Kevlar. The use of nanocelluloses in the armed forces is the primary topic of this study. Several studies have shown that the military can successfully use nanocellulose as a new green bio-based material; however, the technology still needs some refinement. It must be put to the test with authentic chemical weapons like tabun. The economic viability and accessibility of nanocellulose at an industrial scale is another problem. Natural fibers are abundant, providing the armor industry with a low-cost option for meeting the rising demand in the market. However, the NIJ Tier III standard requires that a plate of armor withstand six shots before failing, and this particular type of natural fiber-based hard-shell armor has only been tested for one. Therefore, to make armor plates economically feasible, substantial research is required to increase the ballistic performance of multi-layered armor based on natural fibers. None of the numerous review papers on bio-composites that focus largely on their characterization, production, processing, and other uses have investigated the mechanical endurance of body armor systems.

The purpose of this work is to create and study the dynamics of the functioning of a biorelevant visual navigation system. Methods. The work uses simultaneous navigation and mapping systems RatSLAM and Orb-SLAM. The RatSLAM system is a biorelevant model of visual navigation in the rodent hippocampus. The Orb-SLAM system is a simultaneous navigation and mapping system that works on the principle of searching and tracking changes in the position of key points in the image. Results. The article presents a version of a modified visual navigation system. The system consists of a visual odometry module based on the Orb-SLAM system, as well as a mapping and loop closure module based on the RatSLAM system. This allows you to combine the localization accuracy of systems operating on the principle of tracking key points in the image and neural filtering of biorelevant systems. Using the constructed system, location estimates were obtained on public and new data sets. Conclusion. The constructed visual navigation system determines the location of the subject (video camera) in space, which is in good agreement with the ground truth location data.
The effectiveness of the use of microfertilizers on the yield and biochemical composition of watermelon of different ripeness groups
Authors: Galichkina E. A. , Nadezhkin S. M.
Published: May 2024

Relevance. The priority direction in vegetable growing is the scientifically justified use of types and doses of micronutrients that can increase the yield of watermelon fruits and improve their quality. Due to the large number of different types of fertilizers currently appearing on the market, it is necessary to choose the right ones and study them in optimal doses for growing high-quality melon products.

Material and methodology. Objects of research: watermelon varieties Meteor, Zemlyanin, Kholodok and preparations: iron chelate, zinc chelate, vegetable Aquarin. Options using these fertilizers for double foliar treatment of plants during the growing season have been studied. The research was carried out during 2019-2021 at the Bykovskaya melon breeding experimental station.

Results. During the study, a positive effect of the tested drugs on the quantitative and qualitative indicators of products was established. As a result of foliar treatments of plants in all variants, the yield exceeded the control variant (without treatments). A comparative analysis of biochemical data showed that the dry matter content was at a fairly high level. As a result of the use of zinc chelate in the Meteor and Kholodok cv., the dry matter content increased by 0.4%. A similar increase in the indicator was obtained when using the drug Aquarin vegetable on the Zemlyanin and Kholodok cv. The content of total sugar in the Meteor and Kholodok cv. was higher than the control (without treatments), and in the Zemlyanin cv. it was at the control level. The fructose content in the tested variants of all varieties exceeded the control. As a result of the use of water-soluble fertilizers for plant treatment, the content of ascorbic acid increased in the variants with treatment in the Meteor cv. – by 1-1.5 mg%, in the Zemlyanin cv. – by 0.8-1.1 mg%, in the Kholodok cv. – by 0 .1-0.7 mg% compared to control (without treatments). Nitrate levels in watermelon fruits of different ripening periods did not exceed the maximum permissible concentration (60 mg/kg).

Relevanse. An important condition for the effectiveness of gardening is the systematic replacement of old plantings with new ones. The supply of planting material to the industry is important. Imported planting material does not always meet quality requirements and is not always adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the region in which fruit and berry plantings are planted. Despite the spread of low-volume irrigation, for the regions of the Central Non-Black Earth Region (Central NonChernozem region) of Russia, only a few studies have been carried out to study drip irrigation regimes for fruit and berry nurseries, therefore, issues related to the development of rational irrigation regimes are of particular relevance.

Methods. Field research was carried out on the territory of the educational and experimental farm of the Michurinsky Garden fruit growing laboratory of the Russian State Agrarian University Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy from 2011 to 2022. Field experiments on growing one-year-old, twoyear-old and three-year-old seedlings were carried out in triplicate according to the following options: 1) control (without irrigation), 2) maintaining the moisture content of the root layer in the range of 60-80 %, 3) 70-90% and 4) 80-100% of the lowest moisture capacity. The obtained experimental data were processed using regression analysis methods.

Results. The resulting mathematical and statistical models make it possible to calculate the bioclimatic coefficients of plum, cherry, raspberry, pear and apple seedlings depending on pre-irrigation soil moisture and the sum of average daily temperatures for the conditions of the Central NonChernozem Zone of Russia. All the fruit and berry crops under consideration are characterized by a general pattern that, depending on the sum of average daily temperatures, bioclimatic coefficients change according to a parabolic dependence, and have minimum values at the beginning of the growing season, reach maximum values during the period of intensive growth of seedlings and gradually decrease towards the end of the growing season.

Introduction

Coronavirus disease (COVID) dashboards rarely provide insights about the racialized contexts in which vaccination inequities occur.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to use the emerging Project REFOCUS dashboard to contextualize COVID vaccination patterns among 6 diverse communities.

Methods

We queried the dashboard to generate descriptive statistics on vaccination trends and racism-related contextual factors among the 6 Project REFOCUS pilot sites (Albany, Georgia, Bronx, New York, Detroit, Michigan, Helena-West Helena, Arkansas, San Antonio, Texas, and Wake County, North Carolina).

Results

Vaccination rates, demographic indicators, and contextual factors differed across sites. As of October 17, 2022, the proportion of people who had received at least 1 COVID vaccine dose ranged from 58.4% (Wayne County, Michigan) to 95.0% (Wake County, North Carolina). The pilot sites with the greatest percentage of Black residents (Dougherty County, Georgia, Wayne County, Michigan, and Phillips County, Arkansas) had lower proportions of fully vaccinated people. Wayne County, Michigan, had the highest level of residential segregation between Black and White residents (78.5%) and non-White and White residents (68.8%), whereas Phillips County, Arkansas, had the highest overall mortgage denial rates (38.9%). Both counties represent settings where over 75.0% of residents report Black race and over 30.0% of the population live in poverty.

Discussion

The dashboard integrates racism-related factors with COVID vaccination visualizations and provides a fuller picture of the context in which COVID trends are occurring.

Conclusions

Community organizers, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners can track racism-related factors and other social determinants of health as part of the contexts in which COVID-related inequities occur.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Si bien ha sido reportado el factor protector de la lactancia materna exclusiva (LME) contra infecciones respiratorias agudas (IRA) en niños, existen pocos estudios poblacionales actualizados que hayan contemplado interesantes variables confusoras bajo un análisis estadístico que incluya la complejidad del muestreo. OBJETIVO: Determinar si existe asociación entre LME y la prevalencia de IRA en niños menores de 36 meses, considerando el potencial rol de variables confusoras. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Análisis secundario de la base de datos de la Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar (ENDES) del 2019 que incluyó información de 3 839 niños obtenido tras un muestreo multietápico. Se contempló la complejidad del muestreo permitiendo el cálculo de razones de prevalencia crudas y ajustadas. RESULTADOS: El 12,9% de los niños presentaron IRA y la prevalencia de LME fue de 39,8%. En el análisis bivariado se encontró asociación entre IRA con edad (p=0,040) y área de residencia (p=0,033); siendo esta última estadísticamente significativa en el análisis de regresión (RPc=0,73; IC al 95%: 0,55 - 0,97; p=0,033 y RPa=0,74; IC al 95%: 0,55 - 0,97; p=0,033). En el análisis crudo y ajustado de las regresiones no evidenciaron asociación entre las variables principales (RPc= 0,97; IC al 95%: 0,67 - 1,38; p=0,860 y RPa= 0,98; IC al 95%: 0,69 - 1,40; p=0,936; respectivamente). CONCLUSIÓN: No se encontró asociación significativa entre LME e IRA.

Published: May 2024

El presente estudio tiene como finalidad disminuir los conflictos vehiculares en todo el tramo de la Plaza Ollantaytambo hasta la estación de tren debido a que es una vía muy estrecha y se encuentra dentro de la zona considerada como patrimonio de la humanidad que está protegida a su vez por la INC (Instituto Nacional de Cultura) y otras entidades nacionales e internacionales. Se propone reducir el problema mediante la implementación multimodal de transporte para los visitantes y usuarios en general entre la plaza del distrito de Ollantaytambo y la estación férrea en la Av. Ferrocarril por medio del uso prioritario de mototaxis. La evaluación tuvo un enfoque microscópico; ya que se delimito la zona en un tramo (desde la plaza de la localidad a la estación de tren) en donde se recolecto datos, como aforos peatonales y vehiculares, la superposición de actividad vehicular y peatonal en simultaneo, las dimensiones de la vía en estudio y en como el estacionamiento de vehículos causaban los principales conflictos. Los parámetros requeridos y datos fueron obtenidos mediante diversas visitas de campo, facilidad de entrega de documentos e información por parte de la municipalidad de Ollantaytambo y toma aérea de datos con un dron. Con los datos obtenidos se desarrolló un modelo de micro simulación con el software Vissim9. La construcción del modelo de micro simulación tiene como principal objetivo representar la problemática. Para ello se tuvo que modelar la ruta y los comportamientos de peatones, mototaxis, vehículos y los principales puntos de conflicto.

Antecedentes: El Síndrome de Burnout (SB), es un estado de agotamiento físico y mental relacionado con el trabajo o las actividades de cuidado. Tiene una alta incidencia y prevalencia en profesionales de la salud. Se ha visto que los eventos estresantes relacionados al brote de una enfermedad infecciosa, tienen un impacto en la salud mental. La sobrecarga laboral que trajo consigo el COVID-19, puede crear una predisposición de sufrir SB. Objetivo: Identificar los factores asociados al Síndrome de Burnout en médicos que laboran en el Hospital Antonio Lorena de la ciudad de Cusco 2021. Métodos: La población constó de 218 médicos. Se utilizó el instrumento Maslach Burnout Inventory para medir el SB y una Ficha de Recolección de Datos para conocer los factores asociados. El análisis univariado, evaluó medidas de frecuencias absolutas y relativas. El análisis bivariado se realizó con la prueba de Chi Cuadrado, se consideró una p<0.05 como significativa y el nivel de confianza establecido fue del 95%. Se utilizó el modelo de regresión log binomial para el análisis crudo y multivariado ajustado. Resultados: El 15.14% de la población, presentó SB. El análisis bivariado demostró asociación entre el SB y las variables: Trabajar en Área Covid y Mayor Carga Laboral. Se realizo el análisis crudo y multivariado ajustado. Obteniendo durante este último, una RP = 2.43 para la variable Mayor carga laboral, la cual demostró asociación estadísticamente significativa con el SB. Conclusiones: La variable mayor carga laboral está asociada a la presencia del SB en el personal médico del Hospital Antonio Lorena de Cusco.

El concreto es uno de los materiales más empleados en la construcción y siempre se está en la búsqueda de mejorar sus cualidades y procurando no elevar sus costos en demasía. Al mismo tiempo, los plásticos como el PET empleado en la fabricación de botellas para bebidas y envases de alimentos representan un grave problema ambiental, ya que son desechados en grandes cantidades y dadas sus propiedades son de lenta degradación. Por ello, en esta investigación proponemos el empleo de fibras de PET reciclado como adición al concreto, con el objetivo de mejorar las cualidades mecánicas del concreto y dar uso a un material desechado, abundante y contaminante. Se han realizado múltiples investigaciones sobre concreto adicionado con PET, tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. En dichas investigaciones se empleó plástico PET en diferentes formas: láminas rectas, hojuelas y triturado. Sin embargo, la mayoría de estas investigaciones mostraron resultados poco favorables, donde las capacidades mecánicas (compresión, tracción y flexión) de este concreto son inferiores a las del concreto simple. Este trabajo de tesis tiene como objetivo estudiar el efecto de la forma y superficie de las fibras para concreto en sus propiedades mecánicas. Para ello, analizamos investigaciones predecesoras que abordan el tema. Luego, elaboramos concreto adicionado con fibras de PET reciclado, con tres tipos de fibras: rectas lisas, en zigzag lisas y en zigzag rugosas; en dos dosificaciones, 4 kg y 8 kg de fibras por metro cúbico de concreto, con lo que esperamos conseguir una mejor trabazón entre las fibras y la matriz cementicia, por tanto, un concreto con mejores capacidades mecánicas. También se realizaron los ensayos mecánicos de compresión y tracción a cilindros y flexión a vigas; de dichos ensayos podemos resaltar que se obtuvieron mejores resultados en el concreto con fibras en zigzag en comparación al concreto con fibras rectas lisas. Finalmente, realizamos el diseño según norma técnica del concreto simple y proponemos un diseño con las fibras PET en zigzag y rugosas en las dosificaciones que empleamos, así como un análisis de costos de este concreto con fibras.

Antecedentes: La HTA es una enfermedad de gran importancia y relevancia, ya que la baja adherencia al tratamiento incrementa de manera significativa la morbilidad y mortalidad en nuestro país y el mundo. El objetivo de nuestro estudio es evaluar la asociación entre el conocimiento y actitudes frente a la HTA con la adherencia al tratamiento en pacientes hipertensos adultos entre 30 y 80 años atendidos en el consultorio de cardiología del Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo (HNDM), MINSA de Lima Perú en el 2022. Metodos: Se realizó un estudio de tipo transversal analítico en el consultorio de cardiología del Hospital Dos de Mayo (HNDM), a través de una encuesta por vía telefónica a 577 pacientes adultos durante los meses comprendidos desde octubre del año 2021 hasta febrero del año 2022. Se utilizó el cuestionario sobre la hipertensión (CSH) para medir la variable grado de conocimientos y el cuestionario capacidad de autocuidado en el paciente con hipertensión arterial para medir la variable actitudes. La variable adherencia fue evaluada a través del cuestionario Martín-Bayarre-Grau (MBG). Resultados: Los resultados respecto al análisis crudo de la regresión de poisson mostró asociación entre las variables independientes conocimientos y adherencia (PR: 0.19, IC 95%:0.08-0.48) y las variables actitudes y adherencia (PR: O.88, IC 95%, 0.86-0.90). Así mismo, el análisis ajustado evidencia asociación entre la variable conocimientos y adherencia (PR: 0.22, IC 95%: 0.09-0.56) y actitudes con adherencia (PR: 0.88, IC 95%: 0.86-0.90), ya que determina que tener conocimientos adecuados y puntajes más altos sobre actitudes están estrechamente relacionadas con una menor probabilidad de no adherencia, por lo que son factores protectores. Conclusiones: Si existe relación entre grado de conocimiento, actitudes y la adherencia al tratamiento de la HTA. Los pacientes con conocimiento inadecuado y bajo puntaje de actitudes tienen más probabilidad de no adherencia al tratamiento.
