Poly(amidoamine) Dendrimer Modified with Terminal Hydroxyl Functional Group as an Efficient Alternative for CO2 Capture
Authors: Rossi Thiago , Almeida Monique , Souza Mariana , Lucas Elizabete , Soares Bluma
Published: May 2024

Poly(amidoamine)-type dendrimers (PAMAM) were synthesized by divergent routes, and generations (G0.5, G1.0, G1.5, G2.0 and G2.5) along with hydroxylated half-generation polymers (G0.5-OH, G1.5-OH and G2.5-OH) were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Carbon dioxide (CO2) capture tests were performed using thermogravimetric analysis. Among the absorption temperatures tested, 60 °C was the most promising: 0.77, 1.08, and 1.14 mol CO2 L-1 for G0.5-OH, G1.5-OH and G2.5-OH, respectively, of CO2 and partial pressure of 45 kPa. This showed that dendrimers with larger molecular structures have more hydroxyl groups and consequently capture more CO2. However, at low partial pressures (< 2 kPa), CO2 solubility in PAMAM increased with temperature reduction, confirmed by Henry’s solubility constant (398.4 mol m-3 kPa-1, in G2.5-OH at 40 °C). According to the thermodynamic properties of CO2 solubilization, the process was spontaneous (∆Gsol < 0) and exothermic (∆Hsol < 0).

Assessing water poverty in Eastern Nepal: A study of selected Palikas across different districts
Authors: Yadav Jangbahadur Prasad , Giri Birendra , Karki Kaji Ram , K. C. Bishal
Published: May 2024

‘Water poverty’ is a hidden crisis in selected Palika's of Nepal, arising from factors such as population growth, climate change, land use alterations, and erratic infrastructure development, significantly impacting water resource quantity and quality. Addressing this requires location-specific indicators like the Water Poverty Index (WPI) for effective water resource planning. This study investigates water poverty causes in the area, analyzing five WPI components: Access, Resource, Usage, Capacity, and Environment. Introducing 10 WPI indicators and 13 context-specific variables tailored to Nepal, the research assesses water poverty across different spatial scales (metropolitan, sub-metropolitan, municipality, and rural municipality). The results show WPI scores ranging from 62.96 to 72.77, highlighting the need for targeted policy interventions. While no clear trend emerges across scales, higher resource and access scores prevail in all areas, with use, environment, and capacity scores higher in metropolitan and sub-metropolitan regions. These disparities underscore the need for tailored policies and management plans across scales to improve water poverty in the studied regions.
The specificity of error detection as part of computing testing in digital devices based on self-duality of Boolean functions
Authors: Efanov D. V. , Pogodina T. S.
Published: May 2024

Aim. To identify the specificity of error detection as part of self-dual calculations testing by automation devices, as well as to propose a method for organising calculations testing that would allow detecting any malfunctions from the defined model. Methods. The paper used methods of technical diagnostics of discrete systems, Boolean algebra, and combinatorics. Results. The specificity of error detection at the outputs of self-dual digital devices of combination type were analysed. The conditions for detecting and not detecting errors at the outputs of self-dual combinational circuits were formalised. In practice, the latter allow – by analysing potential errors at the outputs – creating fully self-checking circuits. At the same time, it is noted that if full coverage of all errors at the outputs of self-dual circuits cannot be achieved when computing-testing only on the basis of whether a function belongs to the self-dual class, then in some cases that can be made possible through additional checking of whether the generated code vectors belong to a pre-selected redundant code. It is established, what features of actual digital devices enable large numbers of errors compensated for by self-dual testing. It is theoretically determined that, in real practical applications with self-dual computing testing, the larger is the number of input variables, the higher is the probability of not detecting an error due to a larger number of combinations of distortions at the outputs. However, the greater is the number of functions implemented by a device, the higher is the probability of error detection. Nonetheless, in practice, each case of computations testing based on the self-duality of calculated functions should be treated individually for each digital device. The paper presents some experimental results that demonstrate the specificity of error detection at the outputs of self-dual combinational circuits using various circuit design methods based on compressing the signals received from the monitored facilities using modified Hamming codes (Hsiao codes). Conclusion. The conditions for detecting errors at the outputs of self-dual digital devices established in this paper allow practically synthesising self-checking computer systems with improved checkability as compared with conventional approaches to their implementation.

Green Synthesis of Zinc Oxide NPs as a New Catalyst for the Synthesis of
Imidazo[2,1-b]quinazoline Derivatives with Docking Validation as Aurora Kinase
(AKI-001) Inhibitors
Authors: Osama Yasmen , Abdel-Latif Ehab , Metwally Heba M. , El-Rayyes Ali , Khatab Tamer K.
Published: May 2024

As natural capping reagents, flaxseed gel, caprylic/capric triglyceride, aloe vera,
and propylene glycol were utilized in the synthesis of ZnO-NPs in the current study. The
synthesized ZnO NPs structure was characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy
(TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The prepared
ZnO-NPs were used as an efficient catalyst for the production of a new series of fused polynuclear
heterocyclic system-based imidazoquinazoline by multicomponent reaction. The
reaction was initiated by mixing 2-aminobenzimidazole, aryl/hetaryl aldehydes, and betanaphthol
under solvent-free conditions at 60-70°C in the presence of a catalytic amount of
the synthesized ZnO-NPs. As demonstrated by molecular docking, the prepared ligands (4,
7, 8, 9, and 11) exhibited outstanding validation as aurora kinase inhibitors in comparison to
AKI-001, the prototype pentacyclic inhibitor.
SLC2A3 is a Potential Factor for Head and Neck Squamous Cancer Development through Tumor Microenvironment Alteration
Authors: Jiang Wei , Xu Sheng , Li Ping
Published: May 2024

Introduction:

Tumor immunity has garnered increasing attention in cancer treatment
and progression. However, there is still a challenge in understanding the mechanisms of specific
molecules affecting the clinical prognosis and tumor microenvironment (TME).

Methods:

Here, we applied the ESTIMATE algorithm to calculate the immune and stromal scores
in 504 HNSC cases from TCGA. Patients were grouped according to the median value of the immune
and stromal. Clinicopathological characteristics and differentially expressed genes (DEG)
were analyzed. Subsequently, LASSO, COX regression, survival analysis, and clinicopathological
characteristics were conducted. Subsequently, SLC2A3 was determined as a predictive factor that
high expression of SLC2A3 at the mRNA and protein levels predicted a worse clinical prognosis.
GSEA25099 was utilized for external validation of immune infiltration, while tissue PCR, IHC,
and Western Blot were used to confirm the expression levels of SLC2A3.

Results:

A series of immune-infiltration analyses showed that SLC2A3 expression was negatively
correlated with CD8+ T cells, significantly affecting the survival prognosis of HNSC. In the
GSEA analysis, the high expression of SLC2A3 was mainly enriched for immune-related biological
processes. Meanwhile, high expression of SLC2A3 possessed higher TIDE scores and was also
strongly positively correlated with a series of immune checkpoints affecting survival prognosis,
thus causing greater susceptibility to immune escape.

Conclusion:

Conclusively, SLC2A3 is a potential oncogene and factor of HNSC development,
notably by an altered state of the immune microenvironment, immune-suppressive regulation, and
immune escape.
Safeguarding Neuronal Integrity: Unveiling Possible Role of NFκB in the Neuroprotective Efficacy of Andrographolide Contrary to Aluminium Chloride-induced Neurotoxicity and Associated Spatial Memory Impairments in Rats
Authors: Kumar Abhitinder , Agrawal Mohit , Murti Yogesh , Behl Simran , Kumar Shivendra , Chaudhary Hema , Singh Kuldeep , Saha Sunam , Rastogi Sameer
Published: May 2024

Objective:

The current study was structured to evaluate the neuroprotective properties of
andrographolide in the context of aluminum chloride (AlCl3)-induced neurotoxicity, along with its
concurrent impact on spatial memory impairment in Wistar rats. The present investigation elucidated
the biochemical and neurobehavioral outcomes of andrographolide treatment in rats, emphasizing
the areas of the brain associated with memory, i.e., the cortex and the hippocampus.

Materials and Methods:

Prolonged dosing of AlCl3 (7 mg/kg) intraperitoneally for 10 days exhibited
a substantial enhancement in the values of oxidative stress markers associated with a reduction
in the concentrations of antioxidant enzymes within the brain. The selection of andrographolide
doses (1, 2, and 3 mg/kg) was grounded in precedent safety and toxicity investigations, with subsequent
oral administration. The evaluation of behavioral parameters, specifically spatial memory,
was conducted through the utilization of the Radial Eight Arm Maze (RAM) test. On the concluding
day of the experiment, the assessment encompassed biochemical parameter analysis and histological
scrutiny of the brain tissue.

Results:

The oral dosing of andrographolide at 1, 2, and 3 mg/kg, in conjunction with AlCl3, effectively
mitigated the behavioral deficits induced by aluminum exposure. Notably, a significant suppression
of NFκB was uncovered in the rats treated with andrographolide. Furthermore, histopathological
examinations of the cortex and hippocampus of rat brains provided corroborative evidence,
demonstrating that andrographolide substantially alleviated the toxic impact of AlCl3, thereby
maintaining the typical histoarchitectural arrangement of these regions.

Conclusion:

These findings collectively suggest that andrographolide holds the potential to counteract
memory impairment instigated by aluminum toxicity, accomplished through the modulation
of NFκB activity and the amelioration of the adverse consequences of AlCl3 exposure.
A institucionalização de um sistema separado no atendimento à infância em Portugal (1974-2023): O lugar da creche
Authors: Ferreira Manuela , Tomás Catarina , Rocha Cristina , Nazario Roseli
Published: May 2024

Referenciadas às Ciências da Educação e às Sociologias da Infância, da Família e da Educação, perspetivamos o recente interesse político sobre a creche no âmbito das relações entre pequena infância, família e Estado, para interrogarmos o lugar da Creche no contexto da educação para a infância que antecede a escolaridade obrigatória. A institucionalização educativa da infância dos 0 aos 6 anos apenas ganha relevância social no Portugal da democracia. Desde então, assiste-se à configuração de um sistema e de uma governação separada do acolhimento e da educação da infância, sob a forma da Creche para as idades do 0-3 anos e do Jardim de Infância para as idades dos 3-6 anos. O levantamento e análise da produção legislativa relativa ao cuidado e educação da pequena infância, publicada em Portugal entre 1974-2023, permitiram constatar que a Creche constitui uma resposta socioeducativa sob tutela do Ministério da Segurança Social, assumindo funções de guarda e cuidado e orientada para a conciliação do trabalho e da família e que, sob tutela pedagógica do Ministério da Educação, ao Jardim de Infância se atribui uma função educativa ao integrar o sistema educativo no âmbito da rede nacional da educação pré-escolar. Este sistema bipartido obriga a questionar a diferenciação entre cuidar/educar e o seu impacto no direito das crianças pequenas à educação.

Authors: Kameneva T. N. , Shevirev V. A. , Shikhgafizov P. S.
Published: May 2024

Relevance. The article discusses issues related to the development of media competence of university students as a key factor in the effectiveness of individual and team work. The development of IT technologies and changes in the system of social communications lead to the constant development of competencies, primarily metacompetencies. At the same time, there is a "gap" between the levels of public administration, the development of technology, personnel and the socio-economic sphere, which leads to a social catastrophe. The elimination of such a "gap" is possible only with the development of staff competencies. The results of specific studies evaluating the effectiveness of individual and team work using methods of nonlinear dynamics, multifactorial regression and cognitive modeling are presented.

The purpose is to give an idea of meta-competencies and models of their practical use in individual and team work.

Objectives: to conduct a brief analysis of: existing competence-based approaches, including to give an idea of the non-classical competence approach; the "holistic competence model" used in the management of competence development; to give an idea of the educational situational center (USC) as an effective gaming environment for the development of competencies; to propose a scheme for the synthesis of scientific, educational and managerial practices used at the university; to give a general idea of the different types of social trajectories; to give an idea of the student's educational and career trajectory as one of the types of social trajectories designed to manage the development of competencies.

Methodology. In studying this topic, the following methods were used: the method of theoretical analysis of the sources of research of the problem, the illustrative-graphical method, the method of comparative analysis, as well as various types of modeling (nonlinear dynamics of processes, multifactorial regression and cognitive modeling).

Results. The article presents an analysis of the results of practical research in the field of all types of modeling used.

Conclusion. In the process of formation and development of meta-competencies, both individual and team, the authors propose to use various types of modeling (a system of models) designed to manage meta-competencies in project work
Using a Semiautomated Procedure (CleanADHdata.R Script) to Clean Electronic Adherence Monitoring Data: Tutorial (Preprint)
Authors: Bandiera Carole , Pasquier Jérôme , Locatelli Isabella , Schneider Marie P
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

Patient adherence to medications can be assessed using interactive digital health technologies such as electronic monitors (EMs). Changes in treatment regimens and deviations from EM use over time must be characterized to establish the actual level of medication adherence.

OBJECTIVE

We developed the computer script CleanADHdata.R to clean raw EM adherence data, and this tutorial is a guide for users.

METHODS

In addition to raw EM data, we collected adherence start and stop monitoring dates and identified the prescribed regimens, the expected number of EM openings per day based on the prescribed regimen, EM use deviations, and patients’ demographic data. The script formats the data longitudinally and calculates each day’s medication implementation.

RESULTS

We provided a simulated data set for 10 patients, for which 15 EMs were used over a median period of 187 (IQR 135-342) days. The median patient implementation before and after EM raw data cleaning was 83.3% (IQR 71.5%-93.9%) and 97.3% (IQR 95.8%-97.6%), respectively (Δ+14%). This difference is substantial enough to consider EM data cleaning to be capable of avoiding data misinterpretation and providing a cleaned data set for the adherence analysis in terms of implementation and persistence.

CONCLUSIONS

The CleanADHdata.R script is a semiautomated procedure that increases standardization and reproducibility. This script has broader applicability within the realm of digital health, as it can be used to clean adherence data collected with diverse digital technologies.
Direct Clinical Applications of Natural Language Processing in Common Neurological Disorders: Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Lefkovitz Ilana , Walsh Samantha , Blank Leah J , Jetté Nathalie , Kummer Benjamin R
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

Natural language processing (NLP), a branch of artificial intelligence that analyzes unstructured language, is being increasingly used in health care. However, the extent to which NLP has been formally studied in neurological disorders remains unclear.

OBJECTIVE

We sought to characterize studies that applied NLP to the diagnosis, prediction, or treatment of common neurological disorders.

METHODS

This review followed the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) standards. The search was conducted using MEDLINE and Embase on May 11, 2022. Studies of NLP use in migraine, Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, stroke and transient ischemic attack, epilepsy, or multiple sclerosis were included. We excluded conference abstracts, review papers, as well as studies involving heterogeneous clinical populations or indirect clinical uses of NLP. Study characteristics were extracted and analyzed using descriptive statistics. We did not aggregate measurements of performance in our review due to the high variability in study outcomes, which is the main limitation of the study.

RESULTS

In total, 916 studies were identified, of which 41 (4.5%) met all eligibility criteria and were included in the final review. Of the 41 included studies, the most frequently represented disorders were stroke and transient ischemic attack (n=20, 49%), followed by epilepsy (n=10, 24%), Alzheimer disease (n=6, 15%), and multiple sclerosis (n=5, 12%). We found no studies of NLP use in migraine or Parkinson disease that met our eligibility criteria. The main objective of NLP was diagnosis (n=20, 49%), followed by disease phenotyping (n=17, 41%), prognostication (n=9, 22%), and treatment (n=4, 10%). In total, 18 (44%) studies used only machine learning approaches, 6 (15%) used only rule-based methods, and 17 (41%) used both.

CONCLUSIONS

We found that NLP was most commonly applied for diagnosis, implying a potential role for NLP in augmenting diagnostic accuracy in settings with limited access to neurological expertise. We also found several gaps in neurological NLP research, with few to no studies addressing certain disorders, which may suggest additional areas of inquiry.

En el Estado de México 42 por ciento población de los adultos mayores no tienen acceso a la seguridad social, solo 33.5 por ciento son pensionados, 57 por ciento son beneficiarios y dependen de su familiar siga con un empleo formal para continuar con los servicios de salud. La población adulta mayor que no tiene acceso a la seguridad social ha padecido las consecuencias de no ser atendida adecuadamente aquí es donde los padecimientos crónicos se vuelven catastróficos como es el caso de las personas que sufren insuficiencia renal crónica que pueden fallecer en cualquier momento. Entre la población mexiquense de 60 años o más, 21 de cada cien padece de enfermedad renal crónica y 30 de cada cien padece de hipercolesterolemia (niveles elevados de colesterol en la sangre). La población femenina mexiquense adulta mayor presenta prevalencias superiores a las de la población masculina, en diabetes hipertensión arterial y enfermedad renal crónica. El nivel elevado de la prevalencia de éstas enfermedades crónicas entre la población mexiquense de 70 años o más ha deteriorado su salud y con ello la necesidad de ayuda para realizar actividades diarias básicas por arriba del promedio nacional.

Published: May 2024

A dog's emotional state is communicated primarily through body language, readily observable by humans and other animals. Additionally, dogs express visual and auditory signals differently according to the situation they are experiencing. However, there is a need for more research on smaller breeds since they tend to display more behavioral issues than larger breeds. The objective of the present study was to identify the behavioral characteristics of 25 dogs of three different small breeds (Chihuahua, Toy Poodle, and Miniature Schnauzer) in a negative context. We used a web-based tool called the Dog Actions Video Annotation Interface (DAVAI) to evaluate the movements of the tail, legs, snout, and vocalizations when the dogs were exposed to unfamiliar people. Our results showed no significant differences in dog behavior associated with breed. However, we identified variations in dog vocalizations explained by the sex, with male dogs whining more frequently than females. We highlight the importance of understanding dog body language and vocalizations, regardless of their breed. Our study is particularly relevant in negative contexts, where dogs may exhibit distress signals that require prompt intervention to alleviate their suffering.

Abstract: Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) plays a pivotal position in digitizing historical files, automatic shape processing, and improving accessibility for the visually impaired. This studies paper proposes a singular technique for HTR through integrating Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The fusion of these two architectures harnesses the spatial hierarchies captured via CNNs and the sequential dependencies learned by way of BiLSTM networks, thereby enhancing the version's ability to decipher handwritten textual content. The proposed method is evaluated on well-known benchmark datasets and achieves cutting-edge overall performance in phrases of accuracy and robustness.

Authors: Wali Suchita , P Dr Praveen Kumar
Published: May 2024

Abstract: Cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water are the basic raw materials used in the manufacture of concrete. The naturally available aggregates are very precious and need to be conserved. Waste materials such as fly ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) which cause disposal problems, and environmental problems can be economically used as a partial replacement for both fine and coarse aggregate. The present research focuses on conducting laboratory studies on the properties of M30 grade concrete by replacing fine and coarse aggregate with fly ash and GGBS. The results show that the optimum percentage of partial replacement of fly ash and GGBS is 30% for both fine and coarse aggregate. The compressive strength of concrete increased by 15% and 24%, respectively, and the tensile strength of concrete nearly increased by 20% in both cases. In addition, the use of waste material helps to reduce the cost of construction while simultaneously solving the disposal and environmental pollution problems.

Abstract: Exploring the impact of forgiveness on self-consciousness and empathy among middle-aged adults, this research investigates the relationship in a sample of N=100 individuals, evenly distributed between genders. The study utilizes the SelfConsciousness Scale Revised (SCS-R), the Boltan Forgiveness Scale, and the "Empathy: A Self-Assessment" 5-point Likert scale to gauge self-consciousness, forgiveness levels, and empathy, respectively. Through a systematic approach to sampling, the study aims to unveil potential correlations and influences. Preliminary analysis indicates a significant interplay between forgiveness, self-consciousness, and empathy among middle-aged adults. The study adopts Pearson’s product moment correlation and relevant statistical techniques through specialized software for a thorough exploration of the strength and direction of these relationships. The results are anticipated to contribute valuable insights to the understanding of how forgiveness impacts self-consciousness and empathy in this demographic. The research emphasizes the need for continued investigation into the multifaceted dynamics of forgiveness and its potential implications for psychosocial aspects among middleaged adults. Recommendations for future research include expanding the sample size for increased generalizability and integrating qualitative methodologies for a more nuanced exploration of the observed correlations.

Os estudos a partir de produtos ativos naturais das plantas representam uma alternativa relevante, englobam diversas substâncias ativas e assim como os produtos naturais podem ser uma boa fonte de novos compostos com atividade antimicrobiana. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o potencial inibitório dos extratos metanólicos de Turnera subulata (flor/folha) e Astrocaryum aculeatum (casca de tucumã) sobre o crescimento bacteriano das cepas de Escherichia coli; Staphylococcus aureus; Klebsiella pneumoniae e Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Foram analisados quatro concentrações dos extratos:C1 (0,010), C2 (0,015), C3 (0,020) e C4 (0,050) para cada extrato e observada por 72h. Na faixa de inibição, destacou-se os que apresentaram melhor atividade que foram os extratos contendo a casca do tucumã que apresentou uma boa inibição contra as linhagens de E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus e K. pneumoniae diferindo de todos os outros tratamentos, em seguida o extrato com a flor da planta T. subulata, onde, observou-se 3,01mm de média diferindo do extrato da folha, e inibindo o crescimento da S. aureus ao redor do extrato, para os processos com estático e ultrassom. No presente estudo foi encontrado atividade antibacteriana nos extratos metanólicos com a flor e a casca do tucumã para as concentrações testadas.Palavras-chaves: Antimicrobiano.

Published: May 2024

A intolerância religiosa aos adeptos do candomblé é produto das ramificações do racismo, que fora estruturado ao longo dos anos, no Brasil, desde a chegada dos colonizadores. Nesse contexto as religiões de matriz africana tiveram a sua desconstrução, em que agregaram a demonização nos ritos e costumes culturais dos africanos aqui escravizados. Tais ritos e rituais foram por quatro séculos criminalizados e somente a partir do século XXI foi dado direito à fala jurídica e política. Este estudo objetivou discutir as várias faces da intolerância às religiões de matriz africana, em específico ao candomblé, por meio de pesquisa a reportagens jornalísticas em jornais e revistas de grande circulação, em blogs, sites de emissoras e redes sociais como YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, relacionadas à intolerância religiosa. Foram analisadas quarenta matérias selecionadas.  A discussão evidenciou casos de intolerância religiosa, que na sua maioria, houve denúncia em delegacias e apoio de entidades do movimento negro, mas também foi percebido a falta de um posicionamento mais enérgico da justiça e dos órgãos governamentais, para que as leis seja, cumpridas. Conclui-se que é necessário que haja a educação para a diversidade com vistas a minimizar os casos de intolerância e violência, mas também políticas governamentais.
NOVAS OU VELHAS ESTRATÉGIAS? O IMPACTO DA PANDEMIA DA COVID-19 NAS FORMAS E RELAÇÕES DE TRABALHO NO CONTEXTO BRASILEIRO

Published: May 2024

A pandemia da Covid-19 demanda estratégias emergenciais, visto que impacta, de várias formas, a vida das pessoas. Quanto ao trabalho, por mais que algumas medidas possam ser justificadas como necessárias, a flexibilização e a precarização do trabalho estavam presentes no país, principalmente desde a década de 1990. Autores argumentam que quando o capital está em crise busca-se a reorganização do padrão de acumulação capitalista, como por meio da exploração do trabalho. A crise estrutural do capital é anterior à crise advinda dessa pandemia. Destarte, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar como a pandemia da Covid-19 impactou as formas e relações de trabalho no contexto brasileiro, por meio das revistas de negócios. Os resultados demonstram aumento de formas de trabalho flexíveis e de características de trabalho precário, uma maior pressão e exigência sobre trabalhadores e lideranças e avanços nas legislações que flexibilizam a Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho. Conclui-se que a pandemia parece ter acelerado as estratégias que já estavam em curso desde a crise estrutural do capital, haja vista que a flexibilização e a precarização do trabalho podem ser consideradas metas de uma economia neoliberal.

O Transtorno de ansiedade social (TAS) apresenta elevadas taxas de prevalência, na população em geral. Fatores biopsicossociais podem tornar o  indivíduo suscetível ao desenvolvimento do TAS. Estudos têm investigado, ao longo dos últimos anos, o papel da família e os efeitos relacionados aos estilos e práticas educativas parentais sobre o desenvolvimento  da ansiedade social, na prole. O presente artigo abordou os protótipos de controle parental propostos por Baumrind e o papel etiológico destes estilos de parentalidade sobre o desenvolvimento do TAS. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura visando mapear a produção científica nas bases de dados Lilacs, Pubmed, PsicInfo, Scielo e Web of Science. Foram analisados 883 estudos dos quais 29 artigos atenderam aos critérios elegibilidade estabelecidos para esta revisão. Os estudos reforçaram, predominantemente, a importância da parentalidade e das práticas a ela associadas, evidenciando-as como fator de proteção para o desenvolvimento saudável dos filhos ou como fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de transtornos psicopatológicos, especificamente, do TAS. Constatou-se escassez de pesquisas brasileiras.
