Authors: Ribeiro Maria , Luís Luís , Aragão Maria , Roque Fátima
Published: August 2023

A adesão ao tratamento instituído para tratar qualquer doença é fundamental para assegurar a sua eficácia, segurança e relação custo-efetividade. Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar uma revisão sistemática da literatura sobre intervenções educativas e comportamentais, utilizadas para melhorar a adesão à terapêutica de doentes crónicos em ambulatório, com patologias, cujo tratamento, em Portugal, está abrangido por regimes excecionais de comparticipação. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura, com base nos estudos publicados na MEDLINE - PubMed, sobre intervenções educativas e comportamentais que tivessem como objetivo melhorar a adesão terapêutica em doentes com patologias para as quais, em Portugal, os medicamentos são adquiridos em farmácias hospitalares ao abrigo da legislação especifica. Neste contexto, foram incluídas todas as publicações disponíveis até 31 de agosto 2017 que cumpriam os seguintes critérios de inclusão: (1) escritos em inglês, espanhol, português e francês; (2) doentes crónicos com patologias cujo tratamento, em Portugal, está abrangido por regimes especiais de comparticipação e cujos medicamentos são dispensados em farmácias hospitalares; (3) intervenção educativa e/ou comportamental dirigida para o doente; e, (4) com resultados do impacto da intervenção na adesão à terapêutica. Foram selecionadas 193 publicações, das quais apenas 58 obedeciam aos critérios de inclusão. A distribuição geográfica dos estudos foi a seguinte: América (62,1%), Europa (22,4%), África (5,2%), Ásia (5,2%) e Oceânia (5,2%). As patologias mais abordadas foram: infeção por VIH (65,5%), insuficiência renal crónica (8,6%), doença inflamatória intestinal (6,9%), transplantados renais (6,9%), artrite reumatoide (3,4%), vírus da hepatite C (5,2%), fibrose quística (1,7%) e psoríase (1,7%). As intervenções, na sua maioria multidisciplinares, registaram um impacto positivo na adesão à terapêutica medicamentosa. Na maioria dos estudos observou-se um impacto positivo das intervenções realizadas, revelando a importância de desenvolvimento de estudos de intervenção junto dos doentes para melhorar a sua adesão ao tratamento.

Published: August 2023

Estudos anteriores demonstraram a importância da satisfação com a vida para o desenvolvimento do adolescente e a sua relação com comportamentos pouco saudáveis. No entanto, aqueles que examinaram a associação entre o comportamento sedentário e a satisfação com a vida limitaram-se apenas ao estudo do tempo passado em frente ao ecrã. O objetivo do presente estudo foi examinar a associação de diferentes comportamentos sedentários com a satisfação com a vida, em 1897 estudantes espanhóis com idades entre 12 e 16 anos. Ver televisão (TV), usar o computador pessoal (PC) e o tempo associado à realização dos trabalhos para casa (TPC), bem como a satisfação com a vida foram avaliados através do uso de questionários de auto-perceção validados para essas idades. Foram realizadas análises de regressão binária linear e logística ajustadas à idade e sexo. Os resultados mostraram que o tempo passado em frente à TV e o uso de PC estavam negativamente asso[1]ciados à satisfação com a vida (ß = -0,059 e ß = -0,087, respetivamente), enquanto o número de horas semanais dedicadas à realização dos TPC era positivamente associado à satisfação com a vida (ß = 0,052). Além disso, os alunos que passaram mais tempo em comportamento sedentário frente à TV ou PC tiveram um risco significativamente maior de baixa satisfação com a vida (OR = 1.276 e OR = 1.317, respetivamente). Em contraste, os adoles[1]centes que passaram mais tempo na realização dos TPC mostraram um risco significativamente menor de baixa satisfação com a vida (OR = 0,809). Estes resultados, obtidos em estudantes espanhois, ajudam a confirmar a relação negativa entre o excesso de tempo em frente à TV ou PC com a satisfação com a vida dos adolescentes. Os nossos resultados também sugerem que as respostas emocionais positivas durante a conclusão da tarefa aumentam a satisfação com a vida, enquanto as emoções negativas durante esse mesmo comportamento não a danificam significativamente. Em conclusão, a satisfação com a vida poderia ser melhorada com um menor tempo em frente ao ecrã, mas nem todos os comportamentos sedentários afetam a satisfação com a vida da mesma forma.

Cortical Mandibular Bone Blocks Grafts and Piezoelectric Surgery in Complex Anterior Maxillary Alveolar Defects: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Wiedemann Thomas G
Published: August 2023

The aim of this study is to assess the indication and efficacy of alveolar ridge reconstructions for complex horizontal and vertical augmentation procedures in the maxillary anterior area with Cortical Mandibular Bone Block Grafts (CMBBG).

Localized alveolar three-dimensional bone defects are among the most challenging problems in surgical implant dentistry. Treatment protocols, such as short implants or small diameter implants are not always offering the desired clinical and esthetic results.

The autogenous augmentation procedure can serve as an option, which allows a more biological reconstruction of the vertical and horizontal dimension of a complex bone defect in order to obtain sound replicas of natural teeth.

The clinical case of a cortical autogenous block graft in an anterior complex maxillary defect is presented along with a literature review. The presented case and the selected articles demonstrate that cortical ramus bone block grafts show relatively low graft resorption, low donor site morbidity and high implant success rates.

Authors: SÜZEN Ahmet Ali , DUMAN Burhan
Published: August 2023

Filiation is a technique used to find the first source of the disease in epidemics. As a result of filiation studies, basic and very important information such as the causes of the disease and transmission routes can be obtained. Health units can take preventive measures or plan some health services with the data they have obtained as a result of these studies.

The purpose of this study is to follow the spatial movements of people with smartphones in daily life and to isolate the person in case of possible pandemic danger. In this context, it is aimed to determine the locations of infected people in coronavirus and other epidemic diseases, to map the filiation, and to help ensure social isolation. In this context, a tracking software that works on Android and IOS systems with flutter technology has been developed to retrieve user locations. The tracking software transfers the user location information to the central server. When there is a temporal deficiency or possible GPS differences in the received location information, the missing data in the server is estimated by the developed LSTM deep learning model. The model can make accurate predictions over 99%. In the last step of the study, the main tracking and mapping software was developed with C#. In an inquiry made with a positive patient's phone number, positional matches are extracted at the same time as the person. In this way, filiation scanning is performed on the map. As a result, with the widespread use of the study, it is aimed to take faster and more accurate measures to prevent the epidemic from infecting more people. In this context, it is aimed to determine the locations of infected people in coronavirus and other epidemic diseases, to map the filiation, and to help ensure social isolation.
Strengths and Struggles among High Academic Achievers in Senior High School: A Philippine Setting
Authors: Remuel M. Coles
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this qualitative research project is to investigate the strengths and weaknesses among high academic achievers faced in their senior high school years. In-depth interviews are used in the study to collect rich, nuanced material, which is then thematically evaluated to find major themes. Expectation and Pressure from Others, Losing Interest, "Procrastination and Cramming", Distractions, and Family Pressure are the five issues that the research focuses on.
The results show that high academic achievers experience tremendous external pressure from peers, teachers, and parents, which can cause stress and anxiety. Academic burnout is evident since some individuals also express a progressive loss of enthusiasm and love for their study. When used to handle workload and pressure, unhealthy coping techniques like procrastination and cramming have a negative effect on learning outcomes. Academic performance is further hampered by personal interests and technological distractions. Additionally, family pressure has a significant impact on how students experience school, highlighting the need of setting reasonable expectations and maintaining open lines of communication.
The study comes to the conclusion that high achievers in senior high school require specialized assistance and interventions. It's crucial to establish a welcoming workplace that values individual goals, encourages intrinsic drive, and supports a good work-life balance. Time management abilities, study habits, and stress management strategies should all be covered in interventions. Concentration and productivity can be improved by reducing distractions and encouraging focused study time. To combat family pressure and create a healthier family dynamic, it is essential that parents, students, and educators have open communication with one another.
Hence, this study adds to our understanding of the difficulties high academic achievers in senior high school confront and offers insightful information for legislators, parents, and teachers. Stakeholders may establish an atmosphere that supports the well-being, engagement, and academic success of high achievers by recognizing and resolving these problems, eventually supporting their holistic development and future successes.

Negationist Denialism in the "Comfort Women" Issue in Japan
Authors: Ogata Tetsushi
Published: August 2023

This article deals with the pervasive and entrenched nature of Japanese denialism on wartime memories, mainly focusing on the “comfort women” issue. It argues that a lens of “negationism” is more beneficial to address entrenched denialism. The net effect of denialism has been to perpetuate binary identity constructs, the deniers and the denied, one side re-engineering social relations to dominate and continue dominating the other. Conventional approaches to counter such denialism have relied heavily on truth-seeking and justice-dispensing mechanisms, but they are inept at addressing negationist denialism. The article explores a post-atrocity model of narrative and identity to go beyond the limits of current counter-denial approaches. This novel framework suggests the “functional decoupling” of past guilt from the present responsibility. In doing so, it does not try to change negationism, let alone try to eliminate it; instead, this approach seeks to make negationism less relevant.
Factors influencing the green purchase intention among consumers: An empirical study in Algeria
Authors: Alalei Abir , Jan Muhammad
Published: August 2023

The main objective of the study is to investigate factors influencing the green purchase intention of Algerian consumers using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Furthermore, it aims to examine the impacts of subjective norms, consumer attitude, environmental knowledge, and green label variable to the consumer purchase intention. The authors proposed the model of TPB that combines three constructs namely attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The subjective norms and consumer attitude variables were directly adopted from the TPB Model. In addition, environmental knowledge and green label variables were added based on the review of the literature. The study was conducted based on the quantitative approach, with data collected through a self-administrated questionnaire that resulted in 350 responses of Algerian consumers from Algiers town. The empirical findings of this study supported only three hypotheses and did not find evidence to support one. Subjective norms, environmental knowledge, and green label variables positively and significantly influenced the green purchase intention, whereas the consumer attitude did not show any significant influence on Algerian consumers’ purchase intention. In conclusion, green label and environmental knowledge were resulted to be the most influential factors that impact the green purchase intention of Algerian consumers. The findings from this study can improve the forthcoming research in related topics and help the marketers develop their Algerian marketing strategies.

Abstract. Over the remote Southern Ocean (SO), cloud feedbacks contribute substantially to Earth system model (ESM) radiative biases. The evolution of low Southern Ocean clouds (cloud-top heights < ∼ 3 km) is strongly modulated by precipitation and/or evaporation, which act as the primary sink of cloud condensate. Constraining precipitation processes in ESMs requires robust observations suitable for process-level evaluations. A year-long subset (April 2016–March 2017) of ground-based profiling instrumentation deployed during the Macquarie Island Cloud and Radiation Experiment (MICRE) field campaign (54.5∘ S, 158.9∘ E) combines a 95 GHz (W-band) Doppler cloud radar, two lidar ceilometers, and balloon-borne soundings to quantify the occurrence frequency of precipitation from the liquid-phase cloud base. Liquid-based clouds at Macquarie Island precipitate ∼ 70 % of the time, with deeper and colder clouds precipitating more frequently and at a higher intensity compared to thinner and warmer clouds. Supercooled cloud layers precipitate more readily than layers with cloud-top temperatures > 0 ∘C, regardless of the geometric thickness of the layer, and also evaporate more frequently. We further demonstrate an approach to employ these observational constraints for evaluation of a 9-year GISS-ModelE3 ESM simulation. Model output is processed through the Earth Model Column Collaboratory (EMC2) radar and lidar instrument simulator with the same instrument specifications as those deployed during MICRE, therefore accounting for instrument sensitivities and ensuring a coherent comparison. Relative to MICRE observations, the ESM produces a smaller cloud occurrence frequency, smaller precipitation occurrence frequency, and greater sub-cloud evaporation. The lower precipitation occurrence frequency by the ESM relative to MICRE contrasts with numerous studies that suggest a ubiquitous bias by ESMs to precipitate too frequently over the SO when compared with satellite-based observations, likely owing to sensitivity limitations of spaceborne instrumentation and different sampling methodologies for ground- versus space-based observations. Despite these deficiencies, the ESM reproduces the observed tendency for deeper and colder clouds to precipitate more frequently and at a higher intensity. The ESM also reproduces specific cloud regimes, including near-surface clouds that account for ∼ 25 % of liquid-based clouds during MICRE and optically thin, non-precipitating clouds that account for ∼ 27 % of clouds with bases higher than 250 m. We suggest that the demonstrated framework, which merges observations with appropriately constrained model output, is a valuable approach to evaluate processes responsible for cloud radiative feedbacks in ESMs.
Exploiting the entire near-infrared spectral range to improve the detection of methane plumes with high-resolution imaging spectrometers

Abstract. Remote sensing has emerged as an important tool for the detection of methane plumes emitted by so-called point sources, which are common in the energy sector (e.g., oil and gas extraction and coal mining activities). In particular, satellite imaging spectroscopy missions covering the shortwave infrared part of the solar spectrum, such as PRISMA, EnMAP, or GaoFen-5 AHSI, have proven very effective for this application. These instruments sample the methane absorption features at the spectral regions around 1700 and 2300 nm, which enables the retrieval of per-pixel methane concentration enhancements. Data-driven retrieval methods, in particular those based on the matched filter concept, are widely used to produce maps of methane concentration enhancements from imaging spectroscopy data. These maps are being used for the detection of plumes and the subsequent identification of active sources. However, retrieval artifacts caused by particular surface components may sometimes appear as false plumes or disturbing elements in the methane maps, which complicates the identification of real plumes. In this work, we have used a matched filter that exploits a wide spectral window (1000–2500 nm) instead of the usual 2100–2450 nm window with the aim of reducing the occurrence of retrieval artifacts and background noise. This enables a greater ability to discriminate between surface elements and methane. The improvement in plume detection is evaluated through both simulated data and real data from areas including active point sources, such as the O&G industry from the Permian Basin (U.S.) and the coal mines from the Shanxi region (China). Data sets from the PRISMA, EnMAP, and GF5-02 satellite imaging spectrometers missions and from the airborne AVIRIS-NG instrument are used. Results show that the new approach reduces background noise and can remove a great fraction of the retrieval artifacts. For example, the analysis of a scene from the Shanxi region reveals that 15 plumes could be detected from the proposed procedure, whereas only 5 had been identified using the classical matched filter applied to the 2300 nm window. In addition, plume masking derived from this new approach let us propose a new procedure for point source quantification optimized for flux rate values lower than 1000 kg/h.
Climatological comparison of polar mesosphere summer echoes over the Arctic and Antarctica at 69°

Abstract. Polar Mesosphere Summer Echoes (PMSE) have been observed for more than 30 years with 50-MHz VHF radars at various locations in the Northern Hemisphere. Continuous observations of PMSE are conducted on the northern Norwegian island of Andøya (69.3° N) using the ALWIN radar (1999–2008) and MAARSY (since 2010). The same kind of PMSE measurements began in 2004 in the southern hemisphere with the Australian Antarctic Division’s VHF radar at Davis Station in Antarctica (68.6° S), which is at an opposite latitude to Andøya. Since the radars at both sites are calibrated, the received echo strength of PMSE from more than one decade of mesospheric observations on both hemispheres could be converted to absolute signal power, allowing a direct comparison of the measurements. Comparison of PMSE observations obtained at both radar sites during a period of 23 boreal summers (Andøya) and 15 Austral summers (Davis) shows that their PMSE signal strengths are of the same order of magnitude but significantly less PMSE is observed in the southern hemisphere than in the northern hemisphere. Compared to Andøya, the PMSE season over Davis starts about 7 days later on average and ends 8 days earlier, making it 15 days shorter. PMSE over Davis occur less frequently but with greater variability in seasonal, diurnal, and altitudinal occurrence. For example, PMSE over Davis reach maximum altitudes about 1.5 km higher than those over Andøya.
Ionospheric density depletions around crustal fields at Mars and their connection to ion frictional heating

Abstract. Mars’ ionosphere is formed through ionization of the neutral atmosphere by solar irradiance, charge exchange, and electron impact. Observations by Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) spacecraft have shown a highly dynamic ionospheric layer at Mars impacted by loss processes including ion escape, transport, and electron recombination. The crustal fields at Mars can also significantly modulate the ionosphere. We use MAVEN data to perform a statistical analysis of ionospheric density depletions around crustal fields. Events mostly occur when the crustal magnetic field are radial, outward, and with a mild preference towards east in the planetocentric coordinates. We show that events near crustal fields are typically accompanied by an increase in suprathermal electrons within the depletion, either throughout the event or as a short-lived electron beam. However, no correlation between the changes in the bulk electron densities and suprathermal electron density variations is observed. Our analysis indicates that the temperature of the major ionospheric species, O2+, increases during most of the density depletion events, which could indicate that some ionospheric density depletions around crustal fields are a result of ion frictional heating.
