Comparative analysis of patient trust in family doctors versus community nurses in the management of chronic diseases at the primary healthcare level
Authors: Alrashed Anwar , Mohamed Hany Ramadan
Published: October 2024

Chronic diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in developing countries where healthcare access is limited. This systematic review investigates the levels of patient trust in family doctors and community nurses in managing chronic diseases within primary healthcare settings. We employed a comprehensive search strategy across electronic databases, yielding six relevant studies after rigorous screening. Our findings indicate that trust is a critical determinant of treatment adherence and self-management, significantly impacting patient outcomes. While patients generally express moderate trust in community nurses, they tend to have higher trust in family doctors, particularly regarding medical tasks traditionally reserved for physicians. Factors influencing trust include communication skills, perceived competence, accessibility, and continuity of care, with variations observed between the two provider types. The review also highlights the role of multimorbidity in complicating trust dynamics and emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to enhance trust levels, thereby improving adherence and overall health outcomes. Recommendations for healthcare practice and policy are provided to foster collaborative relationships between patients and providers.

Existence, uniqueness, stability results for tripled system which containing of mixed fractional derivatives with laplacian operator
Authors: Benallou Mohamed , Beddani Hamid
Published: October 2024

Decades ago, fractional calculus arose to generalize ordinary derivation and integration, and then became a means of modeling and interpreting many phenomena in various fields such as engineering, physics, chemistry, biology and signal processing. The definition of the fractional derivative began with a derivative with a singular kernel, such as the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo derivative. The study of existence and uniqueness of solution of fractional partial differential equations are then proved by mani methods as: the well-known Lax–Milgram theorem, Energy estimate and fixed point theorem... Among them, In this work we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a new class of tripled system, which containing of mixed fractional derivatives between the Riemann-Liouville and the Caputo fractional derivatives of different orders with Laplacian operator, by using Leray-Schauder alternative fixed point theorem type in generalized Banach space and Banach contraction principle. The stability of the Ulam type of the proposed coupled system is also studied. Due to the importance of variable-order fractional calculus, both from a theoretical and an applied perspective, we think that the results obtained can be of interest to the research pursuits of many readers. At the end,  to conclude this paper we provide an example illustrating our findings and approach.
A distributed algorithm for secure dominating set problem in IoT networks
Authors: Lalouci Ali , Farah Zoubeyr
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we introduce a heuristic-based distributed approach to address the Secure Dominating Set Problem (SDSP) in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. The SDSP is a critical variant of the Dominating Set Problem (DSP), incorporating security and resilience constraints. It involves identifying the minimal subset of nodes that not only forms a dominating set but also ensures that any potential swap within the set preserves its dominating properties.  The proposed approach operates in two phases. Phase I involves a spanning tree construction algorithm based on the flooding protocol. In Phase II, we propose a new distributed algorithm called SDSTree, which identifies secure dominating nodes from the spanning tree.  We provide a detailed description of the proposed algorithm and analyze its convergence complexity. The performance of the proposed algorithm is rigorously evaluated through simulations using the CupCarbon tool, which is widely recognized for modeling and simulating IoT networks. Compared to an existing method for the DSP in IoT networks, the SDSTree algorithm demonstrates superior performance, achieving faster execution times and requiring fewer message exchanges across various network sizes.

Authors: Lakhemissi Touam , Rebai Billel , Semcheddine Derfouf , Tidjani Messas , Abdelhak Berkia
Published: October 2024

This comprehensive study explores the optimization of Alfa/Epoxy biocomposites for industrial applications, focusing on the intricate relationship between Alfa fiber volume fraction, mechanical properties, and Brinell hardness. Biocomposite samples, incorporating Alfa fiber content ranging from 5% to 40%, underwent rigorous tensile testing, hardness measurements, and detailed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The research delves into the effects of NaOH treatment on fiber-matrix adhesion and overall composite performance, providing crucial insights into surface modification techniques. Results reveal an optimal fiber content range of 15-25% for maximizing mechanical properties, with performance notably deteriorating at higher concentrations. A strong correlation between Brinell hardness and mechanical properties was observed up to 30% fiber content, suggesting potential non-destructive testing methods for quality control in industrial settings. SEM analysis demonstrates the significant impact of NaOH treatment on fiber surface morphology, indicating improved fiber-matrix interface and enhanced stress transfer capabilities. This study not only provides valuable insights for biocomposite design and manufacturing but also offers promising pathways for developing high-performance, sustainable materials. The findings have far-reaching implications for automotive, construction, and textile industries, contributing to the advancement of eco-friendly composite materials with superior mechanical properties.

The Impact of Consumer Spending Trends on The Fashion Industry
Authors: Lei Chenze
Published: October 2024

Fashion is a word that gives everyone a first impression of being associated with art and taste. It may be true that it had a threshold of enjoyment long ago but does not exist in contemporary society. In the modern era of rapid economic development, the mature manufacturing industry has been able to allow everyone to enjoy the pleasures brought by fashion. Not only this, but fashion is also largely determined by the public. Therefore, this essay will explore what kind of influence consumer spending trends exert on the fashion industry as a whole, starting from the perspective of economics. This paper gets started using realistic instances to analyze the process in which fashion consumption has evolved in reaction to shifts in the broader economy. The study will subsequently examine the influence on the fashion industry and future patterns of the business as consumers transition their shopping decisions to the online platform. Furthermore, this research will specifically focus on two strategies, namely sub-brands and fast fashion brands, in order to examine how the fashion industry has reacted to shifting economic circumstances. Based on the previously mentioned investigation and analysis, it can be concluded that the development of the fashion industry is heavily reliant on the economic conditions. The procedure for reaching this conclusion will be thoroughly discussed below.

L’attualizzazione dei modelli letterari in «Zwischen neun und neun» (1918) di Leo Perutz
Authors: Ferrari Bedini Giulia
Published: October 2024

This article analyses the relation between Leo Perutz’s novel Zwischen neun und neun (1918) and the poetics and works of several German-speaking authors who can be considered Perutz’s literary role models. In chronological order, consideration will be given to the enigmatic, paradoxical situations characterising Heinrich von Kleist’s works, to E.T.A. Hoffmann’s serapiontisches Prinzip, irony and humour, and to Arthur Schnitzler’s narratological techniques and the resignation of his characters. The comparison with these models will demonstrate how the novel relates to the tradition of German literature, in what manner it surpasses it and which elements enable its correlation with modernism.
Margherita Margani: preside epigrafista. Riflessioni su un epitafio greco degli Iblei
Authors: Guardiano Lorenzo
Published: October 2024

Queste pagine sono dedicate a uno studio epigrafico compiuto da Margherita Margani su una stele funeraria contenente un distico elegiaco, conservata al Museo Archeologico Ibleo. Il testo dell’epitafio, scritto da un figlio che seppellì i genitori con devozione nel vi secolo a.C., è stato oggetto di dibattito a partire dal 1942, soprattutto per gli antroponimi ivi contenuti. Margherita Margani, docente liceale e preside a Comiso e a Ragusa, riuscì a congetturare delle letture che furono adottate indipendentemente da studiosi di chiara fama negli anni successivi.
Il tempo della ripetizione nella musica violinistica di H. I. F. von Biber e C. A. Lonati
Authors: Lanzellotti Federico
Published: October 2024

Il principio di ripetizione ricopre un ruolo fondamentale in ogni forma d’espressione musicale e rappresenta uno dei più comuni ed efficaci espedienti compositivi. Oscillando fra stasi e movimento, i processi iterativi e le sequenze modulari influenzano in modo determinante la percezione dello spazio e del tempo e sfidano l’aspettativa dell’ascoltatore, originando architetture labirintiche e ossessive, e moduli ipnotici, che generano un impatto sulla sfera emotiva del fruitore. Il contributo esamina in chiave interdisciplinare l’impiego sistematico della ripetizione nella musica per violino di due dei massimi violinisti compositori attivi nel tardo Seicento nell’area a cavallo delle Alpi: Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber (1644-1704) e Carlo Ambrogio Lonati (c. 1645-post1701). Entrambi, secondo modalità analoghe o difformi, sfruttarono la ripetizione tanto per sfidare la perizia esecutiva dell’interprete, quanto per consolidare, disgregare o rimodulare l’architettura formale e temporale delle composizioni, proponendo una bizzarra e ingegnosa disposizione degli episodi musicali. L’analisi di alcuni esempi di particolar rilievo e il confronto fra i due compositori permetterà di evidenziare un ventaglio di atteggiamenti ed espedienti compositivi, fornendo chiavi di lettura applicabili ad altri repertorî musicali e ambiti della conoscenza.

Published: October 2024

Objective: We sought to analyze public and private hospital patient cohorts in New York City (NYC) to assess differences in hospital access and outcomes from 2009-2022.Methods: Inpatient neurosurgical discharges, as determined by APR-DRG codes, from 2009-2022 were aggregated for seven NYC hospitals, four private and three public, via the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS). Statistical analyses (Z-tests) were performed in Python.Results: 325,351 patients were identified, 223,361 private and 101,990 public. Private hospitals had lower high-severity to low-severity and higher high-mortality to low-mortality risk ratios relative to public hospitals (p < .001). Public hospitals treated a higher proportion of stroke and trauma (p < .001). Average length of stay (LOS) was shorter at private hospitals compared to public (5.3 vs. 7.1 days, p < .001). Statistical significance remained when stratifying for illness severity and elective versus non-elective surgery status. Interestingly, cranial trauma cases were associated with a longer LOS in private hospitals relative to public (7.9 vs. 5.7 days, p < .001).Conclusions: While many factors influence outcomes in private versus public hospitals, LOS can mark the efficiency of care. LOS was shorter at private hospitals in all instances except with cranial trauma. Care efficiency is important for hospital reimbursement, which can directly impact available resources for patient care. These findings emphasize the need to further analyze patient accessibility to neurosurgical care at private hospitals and the resources necessary to support neurosurgical practices within public hospitals.

AUTOMATED SYSTEMS FOR DIAGNOSING DISEASES: A REVIEW OF EXISTING TOOLS
Authors: Myrzakerimova A. , Askar K.K. , Khlevna I.
Published: October 2024

Diagnostic expert systems are computer-based decision-support systems that are designed to assist healthcare professionals in diagnosing diseases. They are designed to provide a list of possible diagnoses based on a patient’s symptoms, medical history, and other relevant information. The basic operation of a diagnostic expert system involves capturing information from a patient, such as symptoms and medical history, and using that information to generate a list of potential diagnoses. The system then uses knowledge-based techniques, such as decision trees and rule-based systems, to narrow down the list of potential diagnoses to arrive at a final diagnosis. This research paper provides an overview of expert systems, including their history, architecture, knowledge representation. It also discusses the advantages and limitations of expert systems, as well as their applications in different fields. There are many research papers studied and research analysis done. There have been numerous research studies in the field of systems for diagnosing diseases, particularly in the area of medical expert systems and decision support systems.
Redactioneel: Gezinnen met meervoudige en complexe problemen
Authors: Knot-Dickscheit Jana , Boendermaker Leonieke
Published: October 2024

‘Gezinnen met meervoudige en complexe problemen’ is het eerste themanummer van Jeugd in Ontwikkeling. Waarom een themanummer? De ondersteuning van de gezinnen waarover dit themanummer gaat, vraagt om een integrale, domeinoverstijgende aanpak en nodige kennis en vaardigheden van alle betrokken partijen: hulpverleners, beleidsmakers en onderzoekers. Een themanummer geeft ons de mogelijkheid de zorgverlening vanuit verschillende perspectieven te benaderen. De urgentie om juist nu aandacht te vestigen op een integrale aanpak is groot.
Met de Hervormingsagenda Jeugd en het Toekomstscenario Kind en Gezinsbescherming staan wij opnieuw voor grote stelselwijzigingen. De ervaring leert, dat we de effecten van beleid om knelpunten in de zorg op te lossen, regelmatig overschatten. Met dit themanummer willen wij aanmoedigen tot reflectie en willen wij suggesties geven, hoe we tot de gewenste uitkomsten kunnen komen: betere ondersteuning van gezinnen met meervoudige en complexe problemen, minder uithuisplaatsingen en het doorbreken van inter- en transgenerationele problematiek. De basis hiervoor is: luisteren naar kinderen en opvoeders!
Toward sustainable careers for nontraditional workers – A glimpse into the future of work
Authors:   , Retkowsky Jana
Published: October 2024

The future of work has arrived. Labor is increasingly organized with short-term employment relations. While much has been written about traditional workers characterized by long-term employment at one organization, our knowledge remains limited on nontraditional workers’ work experiences over time. This dissertation adopts a problem-oriented approach to problematize careers of nontraditional workers as an issue that deserves attention and better understanding. This dissertation draws on a sustainable career lens to capture how the dynamic context and the nontraditional worker interact over time. This dissertation consists of a critical review study and three qualitative studies involving 152 workers and stakeholders, showing that nontraditional workers have unique career experiences due to personal-level factors and due to group-, organizational- and institutional-level factors. Further, these dissertation insights show that nontraditional work is a new form of work and is much more impacted by the context than simply the different legal contract. Overall, this dissertation contributes to co-creating sustainable careers for nontraditional workers.
OS DIREITOS DA MULHER TRANS NO AMBIENTE DE TRABALHO: DESAFIOS E PERSPECTIVAS
Authors: Santos Patrícia Silva dos , Miranda José Sérgio
Published: October 2024

Falar sobre inclusão e respeito aos direitos das mulheres trans no trabalho é um grande desafio quando se pensa em igualdade de gênero e direitos humanos. Mesmo com alguns avanços nas leis e na sociedade, essas mulheres ainda enfrentam numerosas barreiras que dificultam o acesso a empregos dignos. Essas mulheres são expostas a ambientes de trabalho frequentemente hostis, caracterizados por preconceito, discriminação e marginalização. Esse estudo procura entender e superar essas barreiras que as mulheres trans encontram no mercado de trabalho. Parte-se de uma análise desde as leis até as questões sociais e organizacionais para criar um ambiente de trabalho que seja realmente inclusivo e igualitário. Para isso, será empregada metodologia que vale-se de revisão de literatura, pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa, bem como análise comparativa. A revisão da literatura mostra que existem grandes lacunas no reconhecimento e proteção dos direitos das mulheres trans no ambiente de trabalho. Isso é enfatizado por fontes como a Associação Nacional de Travestis e Transexuais (ANTRA), bem como decisões da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos. Ao examinar os casos de políticas públicas e empresas líderes em inclusão, percebemos que, embora tenham sido feitos alguns avanços, ainda há muitos problemas a serem resolvidos. O estudo conclui que existem obstáculos significativos que precisam ser superados, mesmo que a legislação e as políticas públicas tenham avançado. A recomendação é clara: criar ambientes de trabalho mais inclusivos, criar políticas de inclusão eficazes e investir em educação corporativa e conscientização. A promoção da igualdade de gênero e dos direitos humanos no ambiente de trabalho só pode ser alcançada dessa forma.

Vems är staden?
Authors: Forsemalm Joakim
Published: October 2024

This article sheds light on the problematic relation between "integration" and the implementation of planning policies. Another more general viewpoint is the complexity of cities. Processes of segregation and territoriality represent a compound and energetic force in contemporary urban cultures. The source material has been collected in Gothenburg. Where, geographically, is the realisation of integration supposed to occur? What is the meaning of "integration" when argued in planning processes that relate to inner-city transformation? Another perspective on urban development opens up the power of image making. The cultural image of "Långgatorna" (well-known streets in western part of the city) is transformed into a landscape of integration policies. Many people are convinced that the streets have an "identity" and that you get a "continental feeling" when moving around. The urban environment along the "Långgatorna" streets has a typical pre-gentrification character with a variety of alternative shops and businesses, premises for music and art etc. and its future is under vigorous discussion in the local media and through different networks. The article suggests that the segregation/integration-problem is an important, still demanding object of cultural analysis.
Att vidga "det mänskliga"
Authors: Gemzöe Lena
Published: October 2024

As an introduction, the present article describes four evolutionary stages in feminist anthropology. These are characterized by a critique of androcentrism in traditional anthropology; making women "visible" in anthropology; theoretical criticism of basic assumptions and concepts, and finally, reflexivity and criticism of their own concepts. Thereafter, the present author proceeds to discuss the application of a feminist, gender perspective to her own field of research, the study of religious practices in a small Portuguese community. Here it is relevant to make use of perspectives from all the above-mentioned phases in feminist anthropology. The author maintains that a making visible of the religious practices and experiences of women leads to an interpretation of the participation of women in the cult of the Virgin which differs from the one put forth by traditional anthropology. Furthermore, this perspective brings out new religious meanings and themes in popular Catholic observance. In conclusion, the significance of and possibilities for an integration of the gender perspective into the theoretical mainstream of anthropology is commented upon.
Att lära till man
Authors: Åström Lissie
Published: October 2024

The present article consists partly of a discussion of theoretical and methodological ideas of the gender problematic (which crystallized when the present author conducted her studies of male and female ways of life); and partly of a brief empirical application of these ideas to the schooling of young men in masculinity. The author discusses how prevailing principles of the sexes' behavioural and mental segregation simultaneously regulates the dominance relationship existing between them. She maintains that a culturally and socially prescribed distortion of men's and women's avenues of opportunity in what she calls a centrifugal direction (performance- and achievement-oriented) on the one hand, and a centripetal direction (welfare- and relation-oriented) on the other, has tended to generate and sustain male dominance. The empirical application offers insight into how work has served as an initiation in masculinity and as a legitimation of male superiority. In order to further illuminate how young men appropriate a typicalle male self-perception and life strategy, examples are cited which illustrate how they, in comparison to young women, are allowed greater freedom to confront life's challenges and indulge in its amusements. Class-conditioned differences are also touched upon, as well as tendencies indicating change observed over the course of three generations.
Självbekräftelse och nationalkaraktär i sportens värld

The present article intends to show how sports journalism functions as an active agent in the construction of national identities. Alongside the struggle on the field, this type of journalism engages in a duel of virtue, where the nature of the collective is often interpreted as nationally distinct. In juxtaposing Swedish team sports (primarily ice-hockey) with Russian, one sees that while the Swedish collective is described in positive terms such as "team moral", "team spirit", "camraderie" and "solidarity", the Russian collective is interpreted as being the result of oppression and submission. However, this ought not to be regarded as a simple reflection of old political habits. In sports research, sport is sometimes assigned a secondary role as merely the reflection of other historical, cultural and social factors. Such arguments ought to be dismissed, since they hide the productive role of sports in the construction of national (or other) identities. These subjective identities should not be primarily understood as correct descriptions of how "the Swedish" actually distinguishes itself from "the foreign", but rather as the expression of deeply-rooted national ideals. When sport harmonizes with other messages and experiences in this manner, cultural potentialities with enough force to saturate society in general can be formed.
Tidelaget och hotet mot maskuliniteten ⁠— ett genmäle

Inger Lövkrona is right in criticizing me for having neglected the cultural construction of male sexuality in my dissertation on the crime of bestiality in 17th- and 18th-century Sweden. However, Lövkrona is incorrect in claiming that it was chiefly younger men who were brought before the courts on this charge. Youths between the ages of fifteen and nineteen comprised by far largest group of accused, which may have been a reflection of actual conditions, while the low percentage of boys in most likely a serious underestimation of actual activity. There is no evidence of any double morality which protected mature men from being accused. Instead, the act of bestiality should be related to a youthful and experimental sexuality whose most significant prerequisite was proximity to domestic animals. Lövkrona wishes to find a connection between the cultural origins of the act of bestiality with maturity and the reigning male ideal.
According to Lövkrona, bestiality was a way for grown men to confirm their masculinity. However, there is no evidence that the act of bestiality was a source of male prestige. Quite the contrary; aside from arousing feelings of shock, abhorrence and disgust, the main reaction of the community was ridicule. My interpretation implies that this ridicule had its origins in the fact that the act of bestiality was intimately associated with little boys. The basis for this attitude was the perception of clearing out the stables as children's work, along with the absence of a male shepherding culture in Sweden with which the act could be identified. When youths or young men performed chores or acts which were associated with little boys, it raised doubts about their masculinity, as when they took over female chores or sexual roles. In this case, the threat towards masculinity came not from "feminization", but from association with pre-pubertal boys. This threat was further underlines by the nature of youth as a period of transition and experimentation featuring recurrent tests of manhood and struggles for prestige. In this struggle, shows of physical strength and success with mild maids was what mattered. Bestiality was something for immature boys and the losers in the competition for girls. In early modern Sweden, this was a significant factor in the cultural construction of the act of bestiality.
Den nasjonale kulturarven ⁠— en del av det moderne
Authors: Eriksen Anne
Published: October 2024

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in discussing the meaning and effect of cultural analysis. A recognition has emerged that our work not only accumulates knowledge about culture but also, to some extent, contributes to the creation of culture. One well known example of this is found in the history of our subject: the early folklorists very consciously aimed at constructing to raise a national culture. But also more generally cultural analysts may be said to create culture as they study it. The present article draws on Kirsten Hastrup's theories of cultures as "implicitly comparative". The culture we study is created in the comparison with our own, and in the attempt at seeing it as a "text", separated from a "context".

Den omanlige mannen och den liderliga kvinnan ⁠— två urgamla stereotyper
Authors: Svahn Margareta
Published: October 2024

The unmanly man and the lewd woman are two stereotypes distinct in verbal insults already in the old Norse poetry and in the old Swedish laws. In the Icelandic (folk-)tales we meet them in nidet, and in legal texts in invectives. Unmanliness is expressed by, among other things, men being compared to women, being called other words for woman, as well as through expressions for deviant sexuality. Women are branded, or called, harlot and whore.
The language of the old peasant culture, partially extant in the dialect archives, contained a great many terms of abuse. Here too, the most insulted characteristic for men is unmanliness and for women lewdness. Of the material that I have gone through approximately one third of the invectives for men are terms for unmanliness, and a quarter of the words for women are terms for lewdness.
In the current taunts of today, these stereotypes are still the most prominent. Unmanliness is actually also still partly expressed the same way as in the old Norse days. One can still insult a man's manliness with terms for homosexual. Terms for "woman" are also of use. In addition, words that express impotence are also favourably used. The most scorned characteristic attribute to women is expressed mainly through words for prostitute, through words which tell of a woman having many sex partners, and through (sexual) four-letter words.
A cultural construction of sex (gender) is mirrored in derogatory words. Those expectations of manliness and womanliness that a society has at a certain point in time are the basis for the ideal man and ideal woman. The opposite of the ideals emerges in the invectives, which show what behaviour is unacceptable. That men behave like real men and that women behave morally are thus ideals that seem to have lasted at least a thousand years.

EDUCAÇÃO PERMANENTE EM SAÚDE PARA OS TÉCNICOS E AUXILIARES DE ENFERMAGEM QUE ATUAM EM SALA DE VACINAS
Authors: Matos Vittória Zarpelão de , Ziede Mariangela Kraemer Lenz
Published: October 2024

Introdução: Sala de vacinas é um setor da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) destinado à aplicação de imunobiológicos, conforme o Calendário Nacional de Vacinação. A qualificação permanente dos profissionais que atuam neste espaço permite assegurar a confiança ao usuário e reduzir possíveis erros. Objetivo: Planejar, desenvolver, aplicar e avaliar ações de Educação Permanente em Saúde (EPS) para técnicos e auxiliares de Enfermagem no âmbito da sala de vacinas. Metodologia: Estudo qualitativo, do tipo pesquisa-ação, cujos participantes foram técnicos e auxiliares de Enfermagem que atuavam em serviço da APS de Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil (n=31). Ações de EPS foram realizadas em três encontros, com intervalo de 30 dias e duração de, aproximadamente, duas horas. As informações registradas dos relatos dos participantes em cada encontro foram analisadas pela análise de conteúdo. Resultados: Foram identificadas fragilidades no cotidiano do trabalho na sala de vacinas envolvendo a comunicação entre os profissionais, a qualidade dos materiais, a dificuldade de manusear os sistemas de informações, a quantidade de pessoas na sala de vacinas, a dificuldade de usuários que residiam fora do território acessarem o serviço para a vacinação e a falta de higiene adequada do local. Os equívocos mais comuns cometidos pelos profissionais foram os erros de registros e erros associados às idades limites das vacinas. A EPS ocasionou mudanças organizacionais, na comunicação interna e no fluxo de higienização. Houve uma percepção positiva da EPS pelos profissionais participantes. Conclusão: A EPS desencadeou a mobilização e o interesse dos técnicos e auxiliares de Enfermagem para o desenvolvimento permanente desta prática educativa, contemplando não só temas relacionados à vacinação, mas também assuntos pertinentes ao trabalho da equipe de Enfermagem na APS.
