Hepatitis B viral infection (HBV) in prisons poses serious public health challenges because it significantly contributes to the increase in both morbidity and mortality indicators worldwide. Research has shown high HBV prevalence among inmates when compared to the general population. In this study, we estimated the prevalence of HBV exposure and its risk factors among 1,132 inmates detained in high security institutions. A cross-sectional, epidemiological study was carried out in 11 male-only prisons in the State of Paraná, Brazil, between May 2015 to December 2016. HBV exposure was explored using a variety of methods, including HBsAg, anti-HBs, and total anti-HBc. Data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate techniques. The overall prevalence of HBV exposure was 11.9% (95% CI: 10.9–12.8), totaling 135 individuals. In the multivariate analyses, risk factors that remained statistically significant were related to the penitentiary location (Francisco Beltrão; OR = 5.59; 95% CI: 3.32–9.42), age (over 30 years; OR = 5.78; 95% CI: 3.58–9.34), undergoing tattooing procedures in prison (OR = 1.64; 95% CI: 1.03–2.60), self-reported sexual activities with a known drug user (OR = 1.67; 95% CI: 1.12–2.48) and having a history of previous history of hepatitis B or C infection (OR = 2.62; 95% CI: 1.48–4.64). The findings indicate that public policies–including vaccination, early diagnosis, harm reduction strategies, and adequate treatment–should be designed and delivered in the same way for both the incarcerated and the general population in order to reduce the prevalence of HBV and its associated consequences.

Determination of Gibbs Free Energy in the Compound Formation of Li-P and Li-Fe-O by Pymatgen
Authors: Yuniati Anis , Andry Syamsul
Published: November 2022

The Gibbs free energy of the compound formation from a phase diagram based on Python Materials Genomic (Pymatgen) and Application Programming Interface (API) Key had been determined. The compounds shown were stable synthesized from the combination of Li-P and Li-Fe-O atoms. This stability was indicated by the value of the Gibbs free energy of the compounds formation obtained from the phase diagram of each atomic combination. The diagram was created from the integration between Python and the database from the Materials Project via an API Key using Pymatgen. From the research conducted for the combination of Li-P atoms, compounds and the Gibbs free energy of formation shown were Li3 P (-0.697 eV/atom), LiP (-0.523 eV/atom), Li3 P7 (-0.36 eV/atom), and LiP7 (-0.159 eV/atom). For Li-Fe-O combination, the compound and the energy were Li5 FeO4 (-2.117 eV/atom), LiFeO2 (-2.072 eV/atom), LiO2 (-2.067 eV/atom), Li2 FeO2 (-1.979 eV/atom), Li2 FeO3 (-1.965 eV/atom), Fe2 O3 (-1.907 eV/atom), Fe3 O4 (-1.858 eV/atom), FeO (-1.728 eV/atom), Li2 O2 (-1.651 eV/atom), and LiO8 (-0.414 eV/atom). The most stable compound from each formation was the compound with the lowest Gibbs energy, i.e Li3 P and Li5 FeO4.
Entrenched disadvantage and the internationalization of education: A review of the Science without Border Program in Brazil
Authors: Barbosa Rafael Silva , Adefila Arinola , Garcia Maria Lúcia Teixeira
Published: November 2022

Brazil has focused on internationalization of the higher education sector, in response to trends across the globe. The main program for promoting internationalization was the Science without Borders program. The paper analyses Brazilian international mobility from a regional perspective, particularly reviewing how inequality affected access to fellowships. The Northeast Region, which historically records higher poverty indicators than the South and Southeast regions, showed average growth statistically equal to the Southeast Region. By comparing access to scholarships and fellowships between the two largest regions of Brazil, this paper sought to analyze any structural change between the Southeast region and the Northeast. The Science without Borders (Ciência sem Fronteira, in Portuguese) program has achieved considerable results. In the first four years of the program, completed student exchange programs increased by 1,620% (i.e., 2011-2014). Despite this, the structure of unequal regional access remained. Using the hypothesis test methodology T for means with different variances, it was possible to evaluate at a significance level of 95%. The two largest regions in Brazil maintained the unequal profile of access to the program. The conclusion is that the growth in the offer of scholarships for internationalization between 2010 and 2019 has not changed the unequal regional profile of access to public education services in Brazil.
Causal effect on a target population: A sensitivity analysis to handle missing covariates
Authors: Colnet Bénédicte , Josse Julie , Varoquaux Gaël , Scornet Erwan
Published: November 2022

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are often considered the gold standard for estimating causal effect, but they may lack external validity when the population eligible to the RCT is substantially different from the target population. Having at hand a sample of the target population of interest allows us to generalize the causal effect. Identifying the treatment effect in the target population requires covariates to capture all treatment effect modifiers that are shifted between the two sets. Standard estimators then use either weighting (IPSW), outcome modeling (G-formula), or combine the two in doubly robust approaches (AIPSW). However, such covariates are often not available in both sets. In this article, after provingL1{L}^{1}-consistency of these three estimators, we compute the expected bias induced by a missing covariate, assuming a Gaussian distribution, a continuous outcome, and a semi-parametric model. Under this setting, we perform a sensitivity analysis for each missing covariate pattern and compute the sign of the expected bias. We also show that there is no gain in linearly imputing a partially unobserved covariate. Finally, we study the substitution of a missing covariate by a proxy. We illustrate all these results on simulations, as well as semi-synthetic benchmarks using data from the Tennessee student/teacher achievement ratio (STAR), and a real-world example from critical care medicine.
Long non-coding RNAs LINC00689 inhibits the apoptosis of human nucleus pulposus cells via miR-3127-5p/ATG7 axis-mediated autophagy
Authors: Wang Changsheng , Chen Rongsheng , Zhu Xitian , Zhang Xiaobo
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to explore the effects of long non-coding RNAs LINC00689 (LINC00689) in human nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs). NPCs were isolated and their morphology was observed. The proliferation and apoptosis of NPCs, and the levels of LINC00689, miR-3127-5p, Bax, Bcl-2, Cleaved caspase-3, ATG5, ATG7, p62, and LC3Ⅱ/LC3I were detected. Interrelations of LINC00689, miR-3127-5p, and ATG7 were analyzed. LINC00689 was down-regulated yet miR-3127-5p was up-regulated in NPCs. LINC00689 could competitively bind with miR-3127-5p, and ATG7 was targeted by miR-3127-5p in NPCs. Overexpressed LINC00689 promoted proliferation yet inhibited apoptosis of NPCs, whereas LINC00689 silencing did the opposite. Overexpressed LINC00689 raised ATG7 level and LC3Ⅱ/LC3I value yet reduced that of p62 level, but the depletion of LINC00689 did the contrary. ATG7 silencing abolished the effects of overexpressed LINC00689 in NPCs, and likewise, up-regulation of miR-3127-5p overturned the effects of overexpressed LINC00689 in NPCs. Collectively, the up-regulation of LINC00689 inhibits the apoptosis of NPCs via miR-3127-5p/ATG7 axis-mediated autophagy.

Meillassoux’s Reinterpretation of Kant’s Transcendental Dialectic
Authors: Schäferling Kristian
Published: November 2022

This article attempts to read the Transcendental Dialectic through Meillassoux’s model of the absolute contingency of being in order to rethink some of its central difficulties. Specifically, this concerns better understanding the role played by the categories of relation and modality in the empirical use of the ideas of reason, which underlies their regulative use that is directed at an absolute unity of reason. It will be discussed which questions are implied in the central claim of Meillassoux’s ontology, i.e., that it is possible to derive from the necessity of contingency the existence and noncontradictory being of the thing in itself. First, I will retrace basic points of Meillassoux’s critique of “correlationism”, by means of which he reconfigures the divisions between metaphysics, physics, and ontology. Second, against the background of the Kantian concept of hope, I will examine a relation between the Transcendental Dialectic and ethics, as, respectively, conceived of in Kant and in Meillassoux’s reinterpretation. Third, I will critically ask in how far absolute contingency can be understood as grounding a concept of experience and in which sense the idea of the antinomy chapter in the Transcendental Dialectic contains an argument more complex than Meillassoux’s model suggests.

Grandes projetos logísticos se instalam recentemente na Amazônia, fruto da dinâmica daquilo que poderíamos classificar como “agronegócio globalizado”. Este setor na sua procura por assegurar uma oferta permanente de bens agrominerais aos mercados internacionais e reduzir seus custos busca parceiras, investimentos e apoio à consecução de corredores de exportação na Região Norte e Nordeste (Arco Norte). Tais iniciativas promovem a construção e ampliação de portos em cidades ribeirinhas, com imensas consequências em seus sítios urbanos e entorno regional. Profundas transformações em sua base técnica, aumento demográfico e conflito com comunidades tradicionais são alguns destes impactos, dos quais procuramos avaliar no vale do Rio Tapajós, no município de Itaituba.
AS RELAÇÕES DICOTÔMICAS ENTRE CAMPO-CIDADE E AS POLÍTICAS HABITACIONAIS NO BRASIL
Authors: Facci Facci Inguaggiato Felipe , Ferreira Olivatto Tatiane
Published: November 2022

O processo de urbanização, atrelado aos movimentos capitalistas, causou o distanciamento da população urbana e rural, desconectando a cidade do campo. O distanciamento entre esses espaços deu-se, muitas vezes, por políticas públicas, dentre elas as habitacionais, que se voltaram à habitação nas cidades e ao avanço da fronteira agrícola e dos latifúndios. Este trabalho propõe um levantamento bibliográfico de caráter reflexivo acerca das políticas de moradia que ocorreram no Brasil ao longo de seu processo histórico e urbano, assim como questões que desencorajam o êxodo rural. Buscou-se também um levantamento de iniciativas que conectam as esferas campo-cidade e que promovem transformação socioespacial, como modernização das técnicas agrícolas, feiras livres, cooperação, parcerias diretas e agricultura urbana.

Published: November 2022

Num contexto de envelhecimento populacional e de feminilização da velhice, o envelhecer masculino se diferencia do feminino. Mulheres idosas enfrentam desvantagens cumulativas que prejudicam a cidadania em sua plenitude. Atividades cotidianas, como a fotografia, são historicamente sujeitas às limitações atreladas a questões de gênero. Essas restrições podem interferir em metodologias participativas baseadas na percepção do usuário. Originado numa pesquisa transnacional sobre o envelhecimento na comunidade, este artigo analisa a influência da construção de gênero na execução do procedimento metodológico diário fotográfico e na percepção ambiental em três cidades brasileiras. Idosas mostraram-se menos positivas na realização da tarefa do que idosos, apontando elevado senso crítico sobre o processo e seus resultados e sensação de inferioridade; incapacidade; temor ao julgamento e insegurança no espaço público. Dessa forma, a construção da imagem de gênero afeta a participação social e atividades cotidianas, alterando a percepção do espaço urbano e exigindo alternativas metodológicas apropriadas.

Published: November 2022

Background:

Radiomics and deep learning have been widely investigated in the quantitative analysis of medical images. Deep learning radiomics (DLR), combining the strengths of both methods, is increasingly used in head and neck cancer (HNC). This systematic review was aimed at evaluating existing studies and assessing the potential application of DLR in HNC prognosis.

Materials and methods:

The PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched for articles published in the past 10 years with the keywords “radiomics,” “deep learning,” and “head and neck cancer” (and synonyms). Two independent reviewers searched, screened, and reviewed the English literature. The methodological quality of each article was evaluated with the Radiomics Quality Score (RQS). Data from the studies were extracted and collected in tables. A systematic review of radiomics prognostic prediction models for HNC incorporating deep learning techniques is presented.

Result:

A total of eight studies, published in 2012–2022, with a varying number of patients (59–707 cases), were included. Each study used deep learning; three studies performed automatic segmentation of regions of interest (ROI), and the Dice score range for automatic segmentation was 0.75–0.81. Four studies involved extraction of deep learning features, one study combined different modality features, and two studies performed predictive model building. The range of the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.84–0.96, the range of the concordance index (C-index) was 0.72–0.82, and the range of model accuracy (ACC) was 0.72–0.96. The median total RQS for these studies was 13 (10–15), corresponding to a percentage of 36.11% (27.78%–41.67). Low scores were due to a lack of prospective design, cost-effectiveness analysis, detection and discussion of biologically relevant factors, and external validation.

Conclusion:

DLR has potential to improve model performance in HNC prognosis.
Age and sedimentary environments of the Paleocene deposits in the Carpathian Skyba Nappe based on micropaleontological and sedimentological data
Authors: Hnylko Oleh , Andreeva-Grigorovich Aida , Hnylko Svitlana
Published: November 2022

The results of micropaleontological and sedimentological studies of the Paleocene sediments such as the Upper Member of the Stryi Formation and the Yamna Formation located in the Skyba Nappe in the Ukrainian Outer (Flysh) Carpathians are represented. Sedimentological features of the flysch successions (including the sedimentary succession along the Prut River in the city of Yaremche) proved that the Upper Member of the Stryi Formation is represented mainly by turbidites; the lower part of the Yamna Formation (variegated Yaremcha Horizon) is composed of red and green clay hemipelagites and turbidites, and the upper part of the Yamna Formation (Yamna sandstone) consists of deposits of high-density turbidite currents and grain flows. The calcareous nannoplankton: NP1, NP2, NP3 and NP4 zones as well as the foraminifera: planktonic Globoconusa daubjergensis Zone (Danian Stage) and benthic Rzehakina epigona Subzone of Rzehakina fissistomata Zone, s. l. (the early Paleocene) are identified in the Upper Member of the Stryi Formation. The calcareous nannoplanktonic NP4, NP5, NP6 zones are distinguished in the Yaremcha Horizon and NP6, NP8, NP9 zones are identified in the Yamna sandstone. The agglutinated foraminifera including Rzehakina fissistomatа, Rz. epigona, Caudammina ovula, Hormosina velascoense, Glomospirella grzybowskii, Saccammina placenta, Paratrochamminoides irregularis are dominated in the Yamna Formation. The age of the Stryi Formation (Upper Member) is established as Danian–partly Zealandian, and the age of the Yamna Formation is Zealandian–Thanetian based on nannoplankton and foraminifera data. Deep-water agglutinated foraminifera (DWAF) belonging to the genera Rhabdammina, Hyperammina, Dendrophrya, Ammodiscus, Glomospira, Hormosina, Reophax, Haplophragmoides, Recurvoides, Trochamminoides, Paratrochamminoides, Spiroplectammina, Karreriella are dominated in the background hemipelagic clay deposits and make up to 100% of the tests in the microfaunal associations, that suggests the lower bathyal-abyssal depths of the sedimentary paleobasin The channel deposits (Yamna sandstone) and interchannel sediments (Upper Member of the Stryi Formation) of the ancient deep-sea fan are identified in the Paleogene flysch.

Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

There are limited qualitative data describing general pediatric hospitalizations through the caregivers’ lens, and most focus on one particular challenge or time during the hospitalization. This qualitative study aimed to address a gap in the description of the breadth and depth of personal challenges caregivers may face during the entire hospitalization, irrespective of severity of patient illness or diagnosis, and explored caregiver-suggested interventions.

METHODS

Caregivers of pediatric patients on the hospitalist service at a Pacific Northwest children’s hospital were interviewed to explore their hospitalization experience and solicit feedback for potential interventions. Content was coded iteratively using a framework analysis until thematic saturation was met. Findings were triangulated through 2 focus groups, 1 with parent advisors and the other with hospital physicians and nurses.

RESULTS

Among 14 caregivers (7 each of readmitted and newly admitted patients) and focus group participants, emergent domains on difficulties faced with their child’s hospitalization were anchored on physiologic (sleep, personal hygiene, and food), psychosocial (feelings of isolation, mental stress), and communication challenges (information flow between families and the medical teams). Caregivers recognized that addressing physiologic and psychosocial needs better enabled them to advocate for their child and suggested interventions to ameliorate hospital challenges.

CONCLUSIONS

Addressing physiologic and psychosocial needs may reduce barriers to caregivers optimally caring and advocating for their child. Downstream consequences of unaddressed caregiver challenges should be explored in relation to participation in hospital care and confidence in shared decision-making, both vital components for optimization of family-centered care.
Revegetación natural de áreas afectadas por minería de oro en la selva pluvial tropical del Chocó, Colombia
Authors: Valois-Cuesta Hamleth , Martínez-Ruiz Carolina , Quinto-Mosquera Harley
Published: November 2022

Introducción: La restauración de ecológica es una estrategia que permite recuperar bienes y servicios de ecosistemas perturbados. Una de las actividades que genera mayor impacto en los ecosistemas forestales es la minería a cielo abierto, pues ocasiona fuertes cambios en la estructura y funcionamiento de dichos sistemas. Objetivo: El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de la edad sucesional y la distancia al bosque adyacente (bosque de referencia) sobre la estructura biológica y composición de la comunidad vegetal en minas de oro abandonadas en la selva pluvial tropical del Chocó en Colombia. Métodos: Entre junio y diciembre de 2012, y junio y octubre de 2021, se realizaron muestreos de vegetación en minas con 6, 10, 15, 19 y 24 años de abandono y en el bosque adyacente a las minas. En cada mina de distinta edad y el bosque de referencia, se establecieron cuatro parcelas de 2×50 m que fueron distribuidas de manera perpendicular al borde del bosque, a 50 m y 100 m de distancia (dos parcelas por distancia), tomando como punto de partida el borde bosque-mina (ecotono). Resultados: Se identificaron 300 especies, 193 géneros y 75 familias. La riqueza, diversidad, y equitatividad cambia poco con el tiempo de abandono en las minas pero alcanza valores superiores en el bosque de referencia. La composición de especies es similar entre las minas pero difiere sustancialmente del bosque de referencia (solo 7 % de similitud). Conclusiones: Los resultados sugieren que 24 años es poco tiempo para apreciar una recuperación sustancial de la estructura biológica y composición de la vegetación de las minas si se compara con el bosque de referencia donde la riqueza, diversidad, equitatividad son muy superiores y la composición de especies difiere sustancialmente. Aunque la distancia al bosque adyacente parece no tener efecto sobre estas variables, es claro que otros factores como la calidad del sustrato y las estrategias reproductivas de algunas especies herbáceas de las familias Cyperaceae y Melastomataceae, así como algunas arbóreas como Cespedesia spathulata y Miconia reducens, juegan un papel importante en la revegetación natural temprana de las minas abandonadas en los bosque pluviales del Chocó biogeográfico colombiano.

Published: November 2022

Effect of microwave drying on milling, cooking, and microstructure characteristic of paddy rice in comparison to hot air drying was assessed in the present study. Results revealed that modified microwave drying significantly (P < 0.05) affected the milling quality of paddy. Raw paddy had head rice recovery of 49.63%, while after microwave drying, the head rice recovery increased by 6.73% in comparison to hot air drying. Microwave drying brought significant changes in the colour characteristic of rice as it had total colour change of 13.50 in comparison to 10.93 by hot air drying. Cooking time and water uptake ratio after microwave drying increased to 31.46 min and 3.16%, in comparison to 27.05 min and 2.65% for hot air dried samples, respectively. Scanning Electron Microscope images revealed that both hot air and microwave dried rice had a coarse surface and large starch particles, while starch structure was more damaged in hot air drying, however, agglomeration of protein-starch matrix was more uniform in microwave dried samples due to modification of the microwave applicator that prevented thermal decomposition. It was recommended that paddy may be dried using a modified microwave applicator with a shorter duration and a better quality.
Principles of corpus querying: A discussion note
Authors: Sass Bálint
Published: November 2022

Nowadays, it is quite common in linguistics to base research on data instead of introspection. There are countless corpora – both raw and linguistically annotated – available to us which provide essential data needed. Corpora are large in most cases, ranging from several million words to some billion words in size, clearly not suitable to investigate word by word by close reading. Basically, there are two ways to retrieve data from them: (1) through a query interface or (2) directly by automatic text processing. Here we present principles on how to soundly and effectively collect linguistic data from corpora by querying i.e. without knowledge of programming to directly manipulate the data. What is worth thinking about, which tools to use, what to do by default and how to solve problematic cases. In sum, how to obtain correct and complete data from corpora to do linguistic research.

Published: November 2022

Durante la educación remota de emergencia causada por la pandemia de COVID-19, el Ministerio de Educación de Ecuador ordenó las actividades educativas en torno a fichas pedagógicas que recogieran elementos priorizados del currículo nacional. El objetivo es analizar cómo las fichas entraron en acción en las instituciones educativas, revisando qué tipo de prácticas surgieron en torno a ellas. Se emplea el método praxiológico y la caja de herramientas de la Teoría del Actor-Red a partir de material etnográfico recogido en escuelas multigrado del cantón Gualaceo, en la provincia de Azuay. Los resultados describen los entramados sociotécnicos creados a partir de la introducción de las fichas pedagógicas y cómo estas se convierten en un poderoso token que ordena los procesos educativos. Se concluye que el poder de traducción de la red generada en torno a las fichas pedagógicas hizo que estas se constituyeran en referentes para el control del proceso de aprendizaje y de la acción docente desde las instancias administrativas, reforzando el rol tecnocrático de los docentes y atomizando el proceso didáctico en cuanto a actividades poco articuladas y significativas.

Three-dimensional structure influences on the strong-motion wavefield of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake
Authors: Stidham C. , Antolik M. , Dreger D. , Larsen S. , Romanowicz B.
Published: November 2022

The accurate calculation of ground motions for future large earthquakes depends on detailed knowledge of three-dimensional (3D) geologic structure and the earthquake source process, as well as sufficient computational resources. In this article we describe the results of finite-difference simulations for the 1989 Loma Prieta, CA, earthquake, with a 3D seismic velocity model for the San Francisco Bay region and a heterogeneous slip model of the source. Additionally, we explore the sensitivity of the synthetics to the major geologic structures in the velocity model. The San Francisco Bay region (particularly the Loma Prieta region) is a unique area for the study of 3D wave propagation because of the pronounced lateral velocity contrasts across the strike-slip faults of the region. Understanding the effects of such long wavelength structure is doubly important when considering a source located close to such a contrast. Our simulations show that the lateral velocity contrast across the San Andreas Fault (SAF) would be expected to substantially affect the propagation of elastic waves radiated from a source in the Loma Prieta region. Indeed, we find that the refraction of energy by the SAF serves to reduce ground motions at stations located along the San Francisco Peninsula, and the Quaternary and Tertiary alluvial basins of the San Francisco Bay region are found to amplify and extend the duration of ground motions in Santa Clara Valley, Livermore Valley, and San Pablo Bay. We find that the 3D model as currently defined accurately describes the spatial variation of peak ground velocity for frequencies less than 0.5 Hz, which suggests that this model may be used to estimate ground motions for future earthquake scenarios.

El trabajo tiene como objetivo describir la importancia del sector de ciencia, tecnología e innovación en el crecimiento económico a través del estudio de los países que pertenecen a la Alianza del Pacífico (AP), los Tigres Asiático y China. Para ello, metodológicamente se realiza un análisis de estadística descriptiva (o análisis exploratorio de datos)que presenta un análisis comparativo de la tendencia de crecimiento en variables de producción como el PIB y el PIB per cápita entre 1970 y 2016, seguido se muestran indicadores del sector específicamente la participación de recursos de inversión en investigación y desarrollo, así como el número de patentes registradas por residentes. Entre los principales hallazgos se muestra que las economías asiáticas han crecido más rápidamente que las latinoamericanas, resultado que les ha llevado a obtener mayores niveles de PIB per cápita. Se concluye que los primeros han sido un modelo de éxito económico entre las economías en desarrollo en gran medida explicado por: (i) las innovaciones y avances tecnológicos que le permitieron consolidarse en mercado mundial, y (ii) la integración económica cada vez más fuerte con una oferta de productos y/o servicios con mayor contenido tecnológico.

Retrocaval ureter is a rare congenital anomaly due to altered development of the vasculature, in which the ureter passes behind the inferior vena cava. This is often secondary vascular variants. Here we present a case about a 41-year-old woman with pain in the right renal fossa, stenotic retrocaval ringlet was established by CT scan. RG showed 43.3 ml/min with obstructive pattern and a bordering left renal exclusion. A laparoscopic transperitoneal approach was realized. Right pyeloureteromy and anteroposition was done. The patient evolved satisfactorily, showed no signs of inflammatory systemic response and continued under post-surgical surveillance until drainage was removed, with progressively diminished serohematic output. Laparoscopic ureteral antero-position with pyeloureterotomy is considered the treatment of choice because it’s a less invasive procedure. We recommend the laparoscopic approach because of a low postsurgical complications risk.

Published: November 2022

The main goal of the paper is to summarize selected developments in the field of artificial societies and agent-based modeling and suggest how this fundamentally new toolkit can contribute to solving some of the most complex scientific and practical problems of our time. This paper consists of several parts. The first one considers the history of agent-based models. The second part is devoted to some interesting models of this class related to epidemiology, and the third one considers agent-based modeling of pedestrian traffic and evacuation of the population. The fourth part is devoted to issues of demographic processes modeling, and the fifth to the simulation of transport systems. Ecological forecasting is considered in part six, while the seventh is devoted to issues of land use, and the eighth part to urban dynamics. The ninth part considers models used for the reconstruction of historical episodes, and in the tenth part, we will briefly touch on the issues of conflict simulation. In the eleventh part of the paper, we will consider issues related to studying social networks using an agent-based approach. Agent-based models of economic systems are considered in the twelfth part. Undoubtedly, the scope of application of agent-based models is wider, but we decided to focus on these indisputably significant areas.

Objetivo: relatar a experiência de elaboração de uma proposta de protocolo de enfermagem para avaliar e identificar riscos em unidade de urgência e emergência. Métodos: estudo do tipo relato de experiência, desenvolvido no contexto das aulas práticas supervisionadas do componente curricular Enfermagem em Urgência e Emergência, ministrado no Curso de Graduação em Enfermagem da Universidade do Estado do Pará, no segundo semestre de 2015. Aplicou-se a Metodologia da Problematização com o Arco de Maguerez, tendo como cenário um hospital de pronto-socorro do município de Belém, Pará, Brasil. Utilizando a classificação padronizada da North American Nursing Diagnosis Association, foram eleitos os diagnósticos de enfermagem “risco de choque”, “risco de queda”, “risco de aspiração” e “risco de infecção”, por sua predominância observada entre os pacientes atendidos. Resultados: a proposta compunha-se de nove laudas e seis seções primárias: definições; finalidades; abrangência; justificativa; procedimentos operacionais para avaliar os riscos; e identificação dos riscos, cujo conteúdo foi normalizado segundo as orientações da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas para trabalhos acadêmicos. A experiência corroborou ganhos multilaterais, pois contemplou os estudantes, os docentes e o cenário de prática. Considerações Finais: ancorado na Metodologia da Problematização, o processo ensino-aprendizagem conduziu os estudantes a adotarem, na sua prática diária, postura e atitude crítico-reflexivas em torno da segurança do paciente, da atuação da equipe de enfermagem e da educação em enfermagem.

Published: November 2022

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar a experiência da aplicação de Tratamentos Restauradores Atraumáticos por uma equipe multiprofissional em terras quilombolas. O relato origina-se da vivência de seis residentes durante estágio optativo da Residência Multiprofissional em Atenção Básica da Universidade do Vale do Itajaí, em parceria com a Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde do Campo da Universidade de Pernambuco. A escolha do local da vivência deu-se pelos vínculos preestabelecidos entre os programas. O campo escolhido foi o território quilombola presente na área de abrangência da Unidade de Saúde da Família do distrito de Iratama (Garanhuns-PE). Inicialmente realizou-se avaliação situacional, identificando a necessidade de atenção à saúde bucal dos moradores de um dos quilombos. A alternativa adotada foi a realização de Tratamento Restaurador Atraumático com os estudantes. Foram avaliadas 39 crianças: 13 se enquadravam no critério de inclusão para execução da técnica, sendo assim passaram pelo procedimento restaurador. Já as outras 26 crianças não se enquadraram na técnica: 17 possuíam os dentes hígidos e 9 necessitavam de atendimento odontológico em consultório. Concluiu-se que a vivência movimentou o território e que o Tratamento Restaurador Atraumático é capaz de se ajustar às necessidades locais. As equipes de Estratégia de Saúde da Família podem e devem utilizar tal tratamento para qualificar o processo de trabalho. Contudo, conclui-se que a vivência movimentou o cenário local, entretanto apresentou limitações no planejamento e execução da ação. O grande desafio após o encerramento do estágio é a longevidade e ampliação das atividades propostas.

Published: November 2022

Background and Purpose: Invasive candidiasis is one of the most common systemic mycoses, and studies have shown mixed yeast infections. Malaysia lacks mixed yeast culture data.
Materials and Methods: Yeast isolates were collected in Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital, North Malaysia, from October 2020 to October 2021. Chromogenic Candida differential agar media and PCR-RFLP were used to identify yeast species.
Results: A total of 206 yeast isolates were collected from different body sites of patients. The majority of the yeast isolates (n=104) were obtained from the urine. Other isolates were extracted from blood (n=52), vaginal swabs (n=45), ear discharge (n=2), tracheal aspirate (n=2), tissue (n=2), skin (n=1), nail (n=1), sputum (n=1), and cerebrospinal fluid (n=1). In total, 200 yeast samples were identified as single species, and six isolates were a mixture of Candida species.
Conclusion: Malaysia lacks accurate epidemiological data on mixed yeast infections. We identified all samples to the species level, including mixed yeast cultures, using the MspI enzyme and PCR-RFLP.
