Authors: Santos Karine Moreira dos , Costa Carlos Alberto
Published: May 2023

Esse artigo discute como o uso de informações geradas no ambiente de chão-de-fábrica de uma matrizaria, pode servir de apoio ao processo de gestão da produção e tomada de decisão nesses tipos de empresas. O trabalho propõe uma abordagem fazendo uso de Dashboards criados através da ferramenta da Microsoft Power BI Desktop®. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo para identificação dos indicadores-chave no apoio para a gestão da matrizaria e definidos 6 painéis de visualização, envolvendo desde visões macro da empresa até a visualização de itens de uma Ordem de Serviço (OS). Para construção dos Dashboards os dados foram extraídos do sistema ERP da empresa, entre eles dados do sistema de apontamento de itens no chão de fábrica, sistema de gestão de materiais e sistema financeiro. A construção dos Dashboards foi fruto de discussões entre os autores desse trabalho, o gestor da matrizaria e a equipe técnica da empresa e percebe-se que esse tipo de ferramenta pode dar aos gestores de matrizarias uma visão mais estratégica de seus negócios. Além disso, utilizar os Dashboards pode servir como porta de entrada para as matrizarias na Indústria 4.0.

Published: May 2023

NAC (NAM, no apical meristem, ATAF and CUC) is one of the largest gene families of the plant-specific transcription factors (TF). NAC TFs have immense involvement in plant growth and developmental processes and have particular importance in enhancing plant resistance to multiple abiotic stresses. NAC members have unique structural makeup and a range of biological activities. Despite their enormous roles in plants, comprehensive study on identification, characterization and expression profiling of NACs under abiotic stress is lacking in Lowland bamboo [Oxytenanthera abyssinica (A.Rich) Munro]. Thus, this study aimed to identify NAC members, characterize their protein properties, construct their phylogenetic relationships and more importantly, establish their expression profiling under abiotic stress. From this abiotic stress-induced transcriptome, 220 lowland bamboo TFs with intact and complete NAC DNA binding domains (PF01849) were identified. Following their identification, analysis of functional annotation, protein characterization, phylogenetic relationships and expression profiling were conducted. The analysis presented up-regulation of 142 unigenes in response to abiotic stress, the association of 26 unigenes directly to stress response and the involvement of 92 unigenes in genetic information processing and 29 in environmental information processing according to KEGG analysis. These results suggest the most likely involvement of NACs in lowland bamboo stress response and adaptation. As a species best survived in a moisture-stressed environment, this study has provided valuable information that could shed light on further functional analysis research efforts aiming to exploit NACs in developing stress-resilient bamboo and related plants.
Molecular diversity in maize inbred lines for turcicum leaf blight resistance using simple sequence repeats (SSRs)
Authors: Keerthana D , Haritha T , Sudhir Kumar I , Ramesh D
Published: May 2023

Maize (Zea mays L.), third most important cereal crop in the world, whose productivity can be limited partly by an important foliar turcicum disease caused by Exserohilum turcicum. In order to design efficient breeding programmes for resistance to leaf blight, the germplasm must be thoroughly characterized. This study evaluated the diversity of maize inbred lines using 26 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers. The polymorphism information content (PIC) value of the SSR loci ranged from 0.61 to 0.71, with an overall mean of 0.65. It was highest for the primer bnlg1335 (0.71) and lowest for the primer bnlg1666 (0.61). The markers produced one to four alleles, with an average of 2.5 alleles per marker. Using the DARwin 6.0 programme, the inbred lines were grouped into different clusters. The cluster A was solitary, with the inbred line VL171488-2 having a resistant reaction against leaf blight. This line can be used in crossing programmes with divergent parents to develop leaf blight resistant hybrids. The results of this study can be used to design efficient breeding programmes for resistance to leaf blight.
Mnemonics as signs of memory: semiotics and agency
Authors: West Joel
Published: May 2023

This paper engages the question of the extended mind hypothesis, specifically in terms of memory and mnemonics. I use the case of an external object which is set to trigger a memory internally, but is not the memory, to explore the idea of extension versus distribution. I use the example of tzitzit, which is a garment worn by observant Jewish men, where is states in scripture that seeing the tassels attached to the garment are supposed to trigger a specific memory. The point of the essay is that extension is merely a metaphysical commitment, and that this commitment leads to some ethical issues.
Potentials of Ultrasonically Atomized Cored Wires for Powder Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing
Authors: Jäger S. , Großwendt F. , Weber S. L. , Röttger A.
Published: May 2023

Powder production for additive manufacturing is currently mainly done by inert gas atomization. A new process is the production of low-oxygen and highly spherical metal powders by ultrasonic atomization from a wire or rod feedstock. As a crucible-free process and because of an electric arc as an energy source, even materials with a high liquidus temperature up to 1800 °C can be processed. A limitation of this technique can be found in the continuous processing of high-strength materials, like martensitic hardenable tool steels, from a stiff wired feedstock because of the limited feed ability. This paper investigates the possibility of processing high-strength steel powder using cored wire as the starting material for the ultrasonic atomization process to circumvent the feeding problem of high-strength materials. Thereby, two carbon martensitic hardenable hot work tool steels with a carbon content of 0.12 wt. % and 0.4 wt. % are considered as reference materials. After the atomization process with varying parameters, powders are characterized concerning their morphology, chemical composition, phases formed, and related powder properties. In addition to flowability, the bulk density are also determined. Based on these results, a conclusion will finally be given on the suitability of ultrasonically atomized powders for additive manufacturing and fast sintering techniques.
Punchdrunk’s Kabeiroi: Taking Immersive Theatre to the Streets
Authors: Prudhon Déborah
Published: May 2023

Punchdrunk is often considered the pioneer within the field of immersive theatre, which “[places] the audience at the heart of the work” (Machon 22) and abolishes the distinction between stage and auditorium to merge them into one single space. Founded by Felix Barrett in 2000, the British company is known for creating detailed theatrical worlds that inhabit the space of disused buildings in which the audience is invited to roam free.

Whilst most of Punchdrunk’s productions maintain a separation between the real world and the imagined world by staying within the confines of a building, Kabeiroi (2017) opens up to the busy streets of London and immerses the participants in real life. This ambulatory theatrical exploration superimposes the world of fiction onto the geography of the city, weaving a web of complex interactions between the two.

How does Kabeiroi interact with the city it pervades? To what extent does the urban space inform the performance, and, conversely, does the immediate reality impact the participants’ experience and immersive feeling? Using concepts such as performance walks (Tomlin), “host” and “ghost” (McLucas), frames (Goffman), and errant immersion (Alston), this article explores the way Kabeiroi blurs the boundaries between street and stage, participants, performers, and passersby, reality and fiction.
Interrelating Necrocities and Borderscapes in the Migration Performances The Jungle, Lampedusa, and The Walk
Authors: Knittelfelder Elisabeth
Published: May 2023

Cities and borders are interlinked by a necropolitics that is particularly pertinent on the coasts of the European continent and the settlements along its coastlines. While these borderscapes become what Achille Mbembe refers to as death worlds, refugee cityscapes turn into Fanonian zones-of-nonbeing. The play The Jungle (2017) by Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson, the ensuing travelling festival The Walk (2021) featuring the performative journey of the refugee girl Little Amal, and the play Lampedusa (2015) by Anders Lustgarten engage with these necrogeographies and the way in which refugees and migrants are exposed to necropower in these spaces of ontological negation. This article maps how the refugee camp builds on colonial practices of citizenship and racialisation extended to the biopolitical city, delineating the interrelation of cities and borders through necropower. It also discusses the refugee camp as necrocity and necrocitizenship while exploring theatre as a means of transgressing colonial racial capitalist (b)order in the city in the three migration performances. By bringing these performances and geographies in conversation, the article explores theatre as rebellious practice that creates spaces for the necropolitical and biopolitical to touch and to move towards a shared humanity.
Walkshop Paris: Notes on a Creative Process with the Urban Landscape
Authors: Wilker Francis , Coradesqui Glauber , Veloso Verônica
Published: May 2023

This article introduces the concept of a walkshop, an artistic and pedagogical practice based on walking and engaging in encounters with the cityscape. Performers and participants partake in an experience that mediates other forms of relationship with the city while they circulate, contemplate, and discover its spaces, acknowledging its inhabitants and their singularities. When we focus attention on the path and the act of walking, the focus of this movement shifts away from the point that we are directed towards and becomes the journey itself. Moving in a nonfunctional manner transforms walking into an artistic, aesthetic, and political action. As our case in point for this reflection, we concentrate on Walkshop Paris which took place in the French capital on 24 June 2022 during the “Theatre and the City” conference.
Situating the Moral Basis for Secession in Territorial Rights: A Dualist and Nonalienation Account
Authors: Huang Chia-Hung
Published: May 2023

This article grounds the morality of secession on two forms of collective self-determination: one manifests the communal goods of secessionists and the other the value of shared political institutions. Secession is morally valuable when the two are incompatible such that the claimant confronts persistent alienation. For remedial rights theories, only ‘strict violations’ permit secession. For primary rights theories, ‘broad violations’ grant secession as a last resort, and so this thesis, ‘collective self-determination as nonalienation’, should be accepted regardless. First, as the two collective forms of self-determination develop two forms of territorial rights, it supplements cogent accounts of territorial justification for, and claims to, secession. Second, as persistent alienation can have both strict and broad interpretations, it also provides moral grounds shared by remedial and primary rights theories if they concede the value of collective self-determination. The strict sense refers to persistent coercion that violates personal autonomy and nullifies state legitimacy. The broad interpretation denotes long-term political frustration caused by unreasonable prevention of greater collective autonomy that even legitimate states may achieve. Third, to verify whether this amounts to long-term political frustration and to address persistent alienation, secession should be regarded as a last resort, despite its support from the primary rights account.

Published: May 2023

Fly ash (FA) and slag could improve the performance of glazed hollow bead (GHB) thermal insulation mortar, but little research touched on how the FA and slag affect its performance and optimize its component contents. In this study, an experimental and statistical investigation is conducted to analyze the influences of FA and slag variables on the performance of GHB mortar based on the response surface methodology (RSM). The predicted model was proved statistically significant in terms of the fluidity, compressive strength, flexural strength, and thermal conductivity. Then, the validated model was used to identify the critical parameters and discuss their mechanisms of action. It can be found that (i) FA plays a significant role in fluidity and compressive and flexural strength owing to its morphological and physical filler effects; (ii) slag has an obvious influence on compressive strength and thermal conductivity due to its microaggregate effect. Finally, optimization design was conducted using the desirability approach of RSM to give the optimal component of 20.73% FA and 21.49% slag. The predicted combination was validated by confirmatory tests within an error of 1.52%. This study provides a feasible and effective solution for optimizing GHB thermal insulation mortar to achieve higher performance.

Tuning hyperparameters of doublet‐detection methods for single‐cell RNA sequencing data
Authors: Xi Nan Miles , Vasilopoulos Angelos
Published: May 2023

Doublet is a major confounder in single‐cell RNA sequencing data analysis. Computational doublet‐detection methods aim to remove doublets from scRNA‐seq data. The performance of those methods relies on the appropriate setting of their hyperparameters. In this study, we explore the optimal hyperparameters for scDblFinder, a cutting‐edge doublet‐detection method. Our optimization utilizes a full factorial design, a response surface model, and 16 real scRNA‐seq datasets. The optimal hyperparameters achieve top doublet‐detection performance under a wide range of biological conditions. Our methodology is applicable to broader computational methods in scRNA‐seq data analysis.

Background

The existence of doublets in single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) data poses a great challenge in downstream data analysis. Computational doublet‐detection methods have been developed to remove doublets from scRNA‐seq data. Yet, the default hyperparameter settings of those methods may not provide optimal performance.

Methods

We propose a strategy to tune hyperparameters for a cutting‐edge doublet‐detection method. We utilize a full factorial design to explore the relationship between hyperparameters and detection accuracy on 16 real scRNA‐seq datasets. The optimal hyperparameters are obtained by a response surface model and convex optimization.

Results

We show that the optimal hyperparameters provide top performance across scRNA‐seq datasets under various biological conditions. Our tuning strategy can be applied to other computational doublet‐detection methods. It also offers insights into hyperparameter tuning for broader computational methods in scRNA‐seq data analysis.

Conclusions

The hyperparameter configuration significantly impacts the performance of computational doublet‐detection methods. Our study is the first attempt to systematically explore the optimal hyperparameters under various biological conditions and optimization objectives. Our study provides much‐needed guidance for hyperparameter tuning in computational doublet‐detection methods.

Authors: Escobar Reyes Nelson Sebastian
Published: May 2023

Lake Amatitlán in Guatemala is in accelerated process of contamination and artificial eutrophication, having a high amount of suspended solids, these cause the appearance of the water to be turbulent. The purpose of the research was to evaluate the ability of oxygen nanobubble technology to minimize all particulate matter and reduce turbulence. The investigation consisted of taking a sample of 33 m³ of water with a high organic load and cyanobacteria, Microcystis aeruginosa. Oxygen nanobubble was applied for eight days operating two hours and 45 minutes per day, making a total of 19 hours. Six samples were obtained, the first was the control sample. The results obtained were favorable with a recorded reduction of suspended solids from 73.39% to 64.05%. The final results were compared with quality standards of oligotrophic algos from Mexico and Peru.

Published: May 2023

The object of the study is the sealing elements of the packer.
The fundamental principle of the cluster model is the assumption that the sum of the relative volume fractions of two structural elements of a natural nanocomposite (loosely packed matrix and nanoclusters) is equal to one –  This approach is incorrect because it is violated when the nanoclusters are immersed in a loosely packed matrix. In this regard, a new relationship is proposed that relates the relative volume fractions of the loosely packed matrix and the part of nanoclusters immersed in it –  Calculation formulas are obtained for the relative fractions of the loosely packed matrix and the interphase region.
The paper shows that such an assumption is unfounded due to the indispensable immersion of clusters in a loosely packed matrix, and in this regard, a new relationship is proposed linking the relative volume fractions of the loosely packed matrix and the part of nanoclusters immersed in it.
For a composite with a matrix, a mixture of synthetic butadiene nitrile and hydrogenated butadiene nitrile rubber and the addition of a copper nanoparticle, it is shown that in a natural nanocomposite, which is the polymer under study in an amorphous state, the time dependences of the relative volume fractions of the regions of inter-component adhesion and the loosely packed matrix coincide quite well with each other.
The application of the above relationship between the volume fractions of a loosely packed matrix and nanoclusters allows to reformulate the known equations of parallel and sequential micromechanical models, as well as the Kerner equation for a more complex micromechanical model used to describe the effect of strengthening the elastic modulus of nanocomposites

The subject of the paper titled: “Polish minority and its position in the Ukrainian national structure” is aimed at showing – mainly the quantity- the position of Polish minority in Ukraine against other nationalities constituting the contemporary Ukrainian nation. A particular attention has been paid to the diminishing tendency among people, who declare Polish identity – out of 363 000 in 1959, up to 220 000 in 1989. This phenomenon deserves to be particularly emphasized, because other nationalities – apart from the Jews, whose number decreased even more than the Poles – increased their population or it remained on the same level. The Polish political transformation in 1989 influenced the level of its citizens’ national identity, who were in “Identical trance. The situation is completely different in Ukraine. In 1989 about 220 000 of Ukrainian citizens declared Polish nationality and the number decreased during the next two years. This alarming situation signalizes the irreversible process happening in Ukraine, lower and lower number of nationals believes that there is no use in maintaining Polish nationality.
Źródła konfliktu litewsko-polskiego
Authors:   Uniwersytet Gdański, Szczurowski Maciej
Published: May 2023

Since 1918, when both Poland and Lithania regained their independence, the relations between the two countries have been difficult. This article is devoted to an analysis of the sources of the problem. Firstly, the article describes the influence of geopolitical and cultural factors on the relations between the two states, focusing especially on their dissimilarities. To simplify the problem, whereas the roots of Polish culture are grounded in the values, which were brought to the Polish soil by the Catholic Church and West European societies, the Lithuanian culture derives from elements of Byzathine culture, the heritage of Ruthenian and Asian tribes and the remains of the Baltic culture. An important, or perhaps even the most significant, contribution to Lithuanian culture was made by Poland. Secondly, the article analyses the causes for bad relations between the countries during the interwar period. The main source and the symbol of the conflict was Vilnius. Before and in the beginning of the war between Germany and Poland, Lithuania remained neutral, according to the declarations made beforehand. However, when the Soviet Russia invaded Poland, the Lithuanian government took actions that de iure caused Lithuania to lose its neutral stance. During the World War II, the bone of contention – Vilnius – was under occupation for five times subsequently, and, as a result, the relations between the Polish and the Lithuanian became extremely bad. Moreover, after the war the Soviet government used those differences as a tool for realising political goals in dealings with both the Polish nationals living in Lithuania and the Lithuanian. After Lithuania regained independence, the status of the Polish minority in Lithuania was at the core of the conflict. The Lithuanian continue to highlight conflict situations, which rarely ore based on true problems, while at the same time blaming Poland for all of the disputable matters, and imparting historical context on every controversy.
A segurança como fator-chave para a cidade inteligente, a confiança dos cidadãos e o uso de tecnologias

Published: May 2023

Resumo As cidades inteligentes vêm crescendo ao redor do mundo, impulsionadas por inovações tecnológicas. Com elas surgem diversas oportunidades, mas também novas ameaças à segurança e privacidade do usuário nessa realidade interconectada. Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar a percepção de segurança e confiança na tecnologia por parte dos cidadãos e como esta afeta a propensão ao seu uso e, consequentemente, à vida na cidade inteligente. Para tanto, conduziu-se um survey (n = 601), por meio do método PLS-SEM, para testar as hipóteses formuladas. Os resultados obtidos confirmam que o modelo proposto demonstra ser consistente. As relações “confiança e segurança subjetiva” e “segurança objetiva e privacidade de dados” obtiveram relações mais consistentes, assegurando a forte influência das barreiras “tangíveis” e “intangíveis” da percepção de segurança. Dessa forma, para obter e manter a confiança dos usuários, as instituições por trás da tecnologia precisam estar atentas à opinião deles e da sociedade, de forma a manter uma boa reputação para que possam, assim, perpetuar uma percepção positiva de segurança. Conclui-se, assim, que o conceito de segurança adquire uma nova dimensão no contexto da cidade inteligente por ser um componente crucial para toda a sua base e estar intimamente ligado à tecnologia, além de se apresentar como uma preocupação fundamental para os governos e as entidades que buscam implementar soluções e aplicações do conceito.
Do politics and administration affect innovation performance? A comparative analysis
Authors: Cavalcante Pedro Luiz Costa
Published: May 2023

Abstract The paper’s primary goal is to analyze the effects of politics and administrative capacity on countries’ innovative performance. The inquiry comparatively examines possible correlations between democracy, political competition, income inequality, bureaucratic capacity, and corruption/transparency with countries’ innovation results. The dependent variables are three performance indicators of the Global Innovation Indexes (GII). After presenting the theory and the descriptive data analysis on the research variables, the paper runs multivariate regression models to test the hypotheses. The empirical analysis reinforced that political and administrative dimensions are relevant to understanding the national innovation systems’ achievements. However, democracy, bureaucracy quality and corruption/transparency are not influential factors in countries’ innovative results as the normative assumptions would suppose. On the contrary, political competition and inequality considerably impact how economies innovate. In conclusion, the paper brought original and intriguing findings that put in perspective the claim that there is a unique path or rule of thumb for innovation growth. Consequently, the inferences provide insights to scholars and stakeholders, public and private, to improve the debates and decisions regarding the priorities for government actions in times of evidence-based policymaking.

RESUMO Objetivo: Medir os níveis de estresse percebido, os fatores associados, em especial o impacto da escolha e satisfação com o curso, bem como as possíveis consequências desse desfecho entre graduandos. Métodos: Estudo transversal conduzido em 2019 com 996 estudantes de graduação de uma universidade pública no Sul do Brasil. A amostragem foi realizada de forma sistemática por conglomerados em único estágio. O desfecho foi avaliado por meio da Escala de Estresse Percebido. As análises de fatores associados e possíveis consequências foram realizadas por meio de regressão linear múltipla e regressão de Poisson, respectivamente. Resultados: O escore médio de estresse percebido foi de 31,1 (DP = 9). Indivíduos do sexo feminino, de orientação sexual não heterossexual, mais pobres, com insegurança alimentar, com medo de violência no bairro, com percepção de difícil acesso a serviço psicológico e com menor suporte social foram os mais estressados. Participantes mais velhos e com algum nível de atividade física foram menos estressados. A insatisfação com o curso atual, e não o fato de ser o curso desejado no ingresso, foi associada ao estresse. Uso não médico de remédio prescrito, ansiedade generalizada, sintomas depressivos e pior qualidade de sono e de vida foram identificados como possíveis consequências do estresse. Conclusões: O modelo ENEM/SiSU parece não exercer efeito no estresse. Além disso, esse desfecho foi mais elevado entre indivíduos mais vulneráveis, tendo contribuído para diversos desfechos negativos em saúde mental. Recomenda-se o fortalecimento de serviços de assistência estudantil para que esses casos sejam identificados e manejados.

Resultados: Quatorze estudos foram considerados na revisão. A maioria deles é transversal (71,4%), proveniente dos Estados Unidos e de países europeus (57,1%), além de apresentar baixo risco de viés (85,7%). Grande parte dos trabalhos encontrou associações entre o incentivo a dietas por parte dos pais (modelagem direta) e comportamentos de risco em crianças e adolescentes, como o uso de métodos de controle de peso, a insatisfação corporal e a restrição alimentar. Poucos estudos relacionaram o hábito de o pai fazer dieta (modelagem indireta) com esses comportamentos. Conclusões: Os dados embasam a ideia de que a modelagem direta, ou seja, o incentivo verbal ao uso de dietas, pode ser muito danosa, principalmente em indivíduos que têm preocupações excessivas com peso e alimentação. Futuras pesquisas são necessárias para avaliar o impacto das práticas alimentares parentais e o desenvolvimento de possíveis ações de prevenção a problemas relacionados ao peso.

RESUMO Objetivo: Neste estudo relatamos o caso de uma profissional de saúde com vivência de imobilidade tônica (IT) e posterior desenvolvimento de transtorno de estresse pós-traumático (TEPT) crônico em decorrência de trauma laboral por conta da COVID-19 que recebeu tratamento remoto com terapia cognitivo-comportamental focada no trauma (TCC-FT). Métodos: Relato de caso de uma paciente acompanhada por seis meses após o recebimento de TCC-FT remota. Resultados: Paciente do sexo feminino, de 36 anos, fisioterapeuta, que desenvolveu TEPT crônico e experienciou IT por medo da contaminação por coronavírus. As escalas psicométricas demonstraram que a TCC-FT reduziu consideravelmente os sintomas de TEPT e depressão e aumentou o apoio social e a resiliência. De acordo com o relato, o tratamento melhorou a concentração e a motivação, e reduziu o sentimento de culpa, a irritabilidade, a insegurança e o desconforto em lidar com outras pessoas. Conclusão: Este artigo demonstra que traumas decorrentes da COVID-19 podem ser capazes de desencadear IT e exemplifica um favorável desempenho da TCC-FT na melhoria global da saúde mental dos pacientes com TEPT crônico com vivência de IT.

We evaluated data from 14,156 baseline participants of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil) collected from 2008 to 2010, to analyze the effect modification of occupational social class on the association between sex and prevalence of type 2 diabetes. The crude and age-adjusted prevalence, according to sex and occupational social class, were estimated using generalized linear models with binomial distribution and logarithmic link function. This model was also used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR), adjusting for age group, race/skin color, and maternal education. The effect modification was measured in the multiplicative and additive scales. Males had higher crude and age-adjusted prevalence in all occupational social class strata. As occupational social class increases, the prevalence among males and females decreases. The PR of males to females decreased according to occupational class: 66% (PR = 1.66; 95%CI: 1.44; 1.90), 39% (PR = 1.39; 95%CI: 1.02; 1.89), and 28% (PR = 1.28; 95%CI: 0.94; 1.75) in the high, middle, and low occupational social classes, respectively. We found an inverse effect of the occupational social class on the association between sex and type 2 diabetes on the multiplicative scale, suggesting that it acts as an effect modifier.

ABSTRACT: Banana (Musa spp.) is a food with high nutritional value. Studies about its compounds have increased considerably due to the antioxidant and biological activities of the fruit. Thus, this article synthesized and organized data related to the phytochemical constituents, as well as antioxidant and biological activities of Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana and Musa paradisiaca, and evaluated the mutual influence and correlation of these activities. A bibliographic review was performed using the scientific databases Google Scholar, SciELO, Periódicos CAPES, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Science Direct, PubMed and Scopus, applying the following terms: Musa spp., antioxidant, biological and phytochemical activities, combined by the Boolean operator AND. A total of 28 articles were selected from 2017 to 2022. The results indicated that bananas are rich in flavonoids, showed good performance in DPPH and FRAP antioxidant assays and have antibacterial, anticancer and antifungal potential. Previous literature reported that phytochemical constituents improved antioxidant performance, thereby enhancing the biological activities described.
Strategic analysis of the Brazilian federal government’s performance in the COVID-19 pandemic: 2020-2021

Published: May 2023

Abstract The study aim is to analyze the performance of the Brazilian federal government (FG) in the COVID-19 pandemic, seeking to identify tensions and conflicts between actors and institutions of the three branches of the government and the FG with state governors. Data production included a review of articles, publications and documents that analyze the pandemic evolution and record announcements, decisions, actions, debates and controversies between these actors in the period of 2020 to 2021. The results include the characterization of the action style of the central Actor and the analysis of conflicts between the Presidency, the Ministry of Health, ANVISA, state governments, the House of Representatives and the Senate and the Federal Supreme Court, seeking to correlate them with the debate around the political projects for health in dispute under the current circumstances. It is concluded that the central actor largely used a communicative action aimed at his supporters and strategic action characterized by imposition, coercion and confrontation in the relationships he maintained with other institutional actors, especially when they diverged from his viewpoints about how to face the health crisis, consistently with his connection to the ultra-neoliberal and authoritarian political project of the FG, which includes the deconstruction of the Brazilian Unified Health System.
Health system, surveillance and the COVID-19 pandemic response in France

Abstract France was the first European country to confirm cases of COVID-19, being one of the most affected by the pandemic in the first wave. This case study analyzed the measures adopted by the country in the fight against COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021, correlating it to the characteristics of its health and surveillance system. As a welfare state, it relied on compensatory policies and protection of the economy, as well as increased investments in health. There were weaknesses in the preparation and delay in the implementation of the coping plan. The response was coordinated by the national executive power, adopting strict lockdowns in the first two waves, mitigating restrictive measures in the other waves, after the increase in vaccination coverage and in the face of population resistance. The country faced problems with testing, case and contact surveillance and patient care, especially in the first wave. It was necessary to modify the health insurance rules to expand coverage, access and better articulation of surveillance actions. It indicates lessons learned about the limits of its social security system, but also the potential of a government with a strong response capacity in the financing of public policies and regulation of other sectors to face the crisis.

Resumo Foram analisadas tendências da mortalidade prematura por doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT) entre 1990 e 2019, as projeções até 2030 e os fatores de risco atribuíveis a estas doenças na Comunidade dos Países de Língua Portuguesa (CPLP). Utilizou-se estimativas do estudo Carga Global de Doenças e análise da carga de mortalidade prematura por DCNT para nove países da CPLP, utilizando taxas padronizadas por idade, usando-se RStudio. Portugal, Brasil, Guiné Equatorial, Angola e Guiné Bissau apresentam taxas de mortalidade prematura por DCNT em declínio e; Timor Leste, Cabo Verde, São Tomé e Príncipe e Moçambique apresentaram aumento das taxas. As projeções indicam que nenhum dos países deverá atingir as metas de redução em um terço da mortalidade prematura por DCNT até 2030. A carga de doença atribuível mostrou que os fatores de riscos mais importantes em 2019 foram: pressão arterial sistólica elevada, tabaco, riscos dietéticos, índice de massa corporal elevado e poluição do ar. Conclui-se pelas profundas diferenças na carga de DCNT entre os países, com melhores resultados em Portugal e Brasil e que nenhum país do CPLP deverá atingir a meta de redução das DCNT até 2030.

Published: May 2023

Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a ação política do Movimento da Reforma Sanitária Brasileira (MRSB), notadamente Cebes e Abrasco, face à pandemia de COVID-19. As informações foram obtidas por meio de revisão documental de publicações das referidas entidades, que apresentam seus posicionamentos diante das ações governamentais implementadas entre janeiro de 2020 e junho de 2021. Os resultados evidenciam que a atuação dessas entidades incluiu ações diversas, em sua maioria reativas e críticas à atuação do governo federal na pandemia. Além disso, protagonizaram a criação da Frente pela Vida, organização que reuniu várias entidades científicas e organizações da sociedade civil, e cujo destaque foi a elaboração e difusão do “Plano Nacional de Enfrentamento à Pandemia de Covid-19”, documento que contém uma análise abrangente da pandemia e suas determinações sociais, bem como um conjunto de proposições para o enfrentamento da pandemia e dos seus efeitos sobre as condições de vida e saúde da população. Conclui-se que a atuação das entidades do MRSB revela alinhamento com o projeto original da RSB, enfatizando as relações entre saúde e democracia, a defesa do direito universal à saúde e a expansão e fortalecimento do SUS.
