On the multipath effects due to wall reflections for wave reception in a corner
Authors: Campos Luiz Manuel Braga da Costa , dos Santos Silva Manuel José , da Fonseca Agostinho Rui Alves
Published: February 2021

Multipath effects occur when receiving a wave near a corner, for example, the noise of an helicopter or an aircraft or a drone or other forms of urban air mobility near a building, or a telecommunications receiver antenna near an obstacle. The total signal received in a corner consists of four parts: (i) a direct signal from source to observer; (ii) a second signal reflected on the ground; (iii) a third signal reflected on the wall; (iv) a fourth signal reflected from both wall and ground. The problem is solved in two-dimensions to specify the total signal, whose ratio to the direct signal specifies the multipath factor. The amplitude and phase of the multipath factor are plotted as functions of the frequency over the audible range, for various relative positions of observer and source, and for several combinations of the reflection coefficients of the ground and wall. It is shown that the received signal consists of a double series of spectral bands, in other words: (i) the interference effects lead to spectral bands with peaks and zeros; (ii) the successive peaks also go through zeros and “peaks of the peaks”. The results apply not only to sound, but also to other waves, e.g., electromagnetic waves using the corresponding frequency band and reflection factors.
Validation of the sonAIR aircraft noise simulation model
Authors: Jäger David , Zellmann Christoph , Schlatter Felix , Wunderli Jean Marc
Published: February 2021

sonAIR is a recently developed aircraft noise simulation model designed for single flight simulation while still being applicable for calculation of entire airport scenarios. This paper presents a rigorous validation exercise, wherein roughly 20’000 single flights were simulated using the 22 currently available sonAIR emission models of turbofan aircraft and compared against noise measurements. The measurements were recorded with the noise monitoring terminals at Zurich and Geneva airport, Switzerland, and with additional microphones installed by the author’s institution. Data from 22 measurement positions were analyzed, covering all departure and approach routes at distances from 1.8 to 53 kilometers from the airports. sonAIR was found to be accurate for departures and approaches under different operating conditions and aircraft configuration. The mean overall differences between simulation and measurements were well below ±1 dB in terms of noise event levels, with standard deviations of ±1.7 dB respectively ±2.4 dB, depending on the model type. A few aircraft types that displayed larger deviations are discussed individually. A sensitivity analysis on the input data found the quality and level of detail of the land cover data to be critical for the simulation accuracy. Changes in other input data such as atmospheric profiles and buildings had non-significant impacts.
Soil microbiome of different-aged stages of self-restoration of ecosystems on the mining heaps of limestone quarry (Elizavetino, Leningrad region)

Published: February 2021

Soil microbiome plays an important role in soil forming process as well as soil functioning. This is especially relevant for initial stages of soil regeneration after strong anthropogenic impact (i.e., in quarrying complexes). The study of soil microbiome in such areas is crucial for both understanding the forces driving soil formation and optimization of the reclamation techniques. This study is aimed to investigate the soil microbiome of different ages of soil formation on the heaps of limestone mines in conditions of boreal climate of North-West of Russia. Soil microbiome analysis was performed using high-throughput sequencing. Soils of the investigated sites were predominantly Rhendzic Leptosols. The initial set (2 years) of OTUs in the entire period of soil formation remains unchanged, accumulating more than 98% of the total microbiome in each time point. Analysis of beta-diversity (weighted and unweighted) demonstrated a clear differentiation of microbiomes of all time points, which suggests that underlying taxonomic structure variations can be attributed to variation of the minor taxa set composition. The most significant differences occur in Proteobacteria, Chloroflexi, Acidobacteria, and Actinobacteria, but majority of these phyla have different sets of OTUs demonstrating opposite trends. Generally time positively correlate with microbiome of carbonate soils in all cases of benchmark and newly formed soils is familiar because of the uniform zonal environmental conditions in geochemically specific landscape of Izhora upland.

Published: February 2021

Monofloral Lavandula spp. honey is very appreciated by consumers due to its characteristic and pleasant aroma and flavor. Given the economic importance of this type of honey, it is important to develop a rapid and nonexpensive methodology that allows certifying its quality. In this context, this study aimed to compare the applicability and accuracy of FTIR-ATR and FT-Raman techniques for the quality evaluation of Lavandula spp. honey. Calibration models, with PLS regression models, were obtained for both methodologies concerning the following parameters: total acidity, reducing sugars, hidroximetilfurfural (HMF), electrical conductivity, ash, proline content, diastase activity, apparent sucrose, total flavonoids, and total phenolic contents. The calibration models had high regression coefficients, r
2 (FTIR-ATR: 0.965–0.996; FT-Raman: 0.983–0.999), high ratios of performance to deviation, RPD (FTIR-ATR: 5.4–15.7; FT-Raman: 7.6–53.7), and low root mean square errors (RMSEs; FTIR-ATR: 0.005–3.0; FT-Raman: 0.004–1.02). These results corroborate the potentiality of FTIR-ATR and FT-Raman for quality evaluation and evaluation of the chemical properties of Lavandula spp. honey even though FT-Raman technique provided more accurate models.
The depiction of “Orthodoxy” in Post-Soviet Space: How Vladimir Putin uses the Church in his anti-Western campaign?
Authors: Amarasinghe Punsara
Published: February 2021

This Article seeks to examine the Russia’s recent interest in uplifting the status of Orthodox church as a pivotal factor in the state and beyond that. Most importantly the position of the Orthodox church has grown rapidly during Putin’s administration as a solacing factor to fill the gap that emerged from the fall of Soviet Union. The 16th century doctrine propounded by Filofei called “Third Rome”, which profoundly portrayed Moscow as the last sanctuary for Eastern Christianity and the 19th century nationalist mantra of “Orthodoxy, Nationality and Autocracy” have been rejuvenated under Putin as new ideological path to move away from Western influence. It has been especially evident that the ideological movement that rigidly denies Russia’s hobnobbing with the Liberal West has been rather intensified after the Crimean crisis in 2014. Under this situation Putin’s usage of Orthodoxy and Russia’s spiritual legacy stand as a direct political tool expressing Russia’s uniqueness in global affairs. This article will critically examine the historical trajectory of Orthodox church in Russia as an indicator of its distinctiveness.
That Raw and Ancient Cold: On Graham Harman’s Recasting of Archaeology
Authors: Sørensen Tim Flohr
Published: February 2021

This is a comment to Graham Harman’s 2019 response to an article by Þóra Pétursdóttir and Bjørnar Olsen (2018) in which they propose that a materially grounded, archaeological perspective might complement Harman’s historical approach inImmaterialism(2016). Harman responds that his book is indeed already more archaeological than historical, stipulating that history is the study of media with a high density of information, whereas archaeology studies media with a low density of information. History, Harman holds, ends up in too much detail, while archaeology has the advantage of lending itself to the imagination. Hence, his reading of history had the aim of tempering the historical information overload, in effect making the book a work of archaeology. In this comment, I want to do three things: (1) critique the idea that archaeological and historical media are inherently different with regard to their densities of information, (2) discuss how archaeology and history approach their media, and (3) reflect on conceptualisations of “archaeology” outside the discipline itself.
Sehnsucht der Materie
Authors: Eickhoff Hajo
Published: February 2021

Nicht nur das menschliche Sein ist Hervorbringen, Umgestalten, Einreißen und Neu-Errichten. Es ist Ruhelosigkeit, Prozessieren und Sehnen. Sehnen wird als Mangel gedeutet, durch den sich das Universum als Ganzes und in seinen Bestandteilen unablässig umgestaltet. In diesem Sinn erweisen sich Fehler und Mängel als ein allgemeines Prinzip der Verbesserung und der permanenten Umgestaltung. Das Weltall hat von Anbeginn an auch eine Sehnsucht nach Sprache und Kultur, nach Geist und Bewusstheit. Die Sehnsucht der Materie setzt sich in Denkern und Forschern fort, um mithilfe der neuen Technologien die Spezies Mensch zu überwinden. Dagegen etablieren sich Wege in eine offene Zukunft, die Raum für Sehnsucht, Reflexion und Mangel lässt.
Zwischen Hinzufügen und Voranstellen

Published: February 2021

Technik als Hilfsmittel, das die natürlichen Mängel des Menschen kompensieren helfen soll – diese moderne Pointe der europäischen Kulturgeschichte und Anthropologie der Technik wird nicht nur, aber insbesondere seit dem 20. Jahrhundert auf Ihre Plausibilität befragt und in Zweifel gezogen. Die in dieser Vorstellung unterstellte Trennung von einer natürlichen und einer künstlichen Lebenssphäre des Menschen ist mittlerweile als ihrerseits künstliche Trennung verabschiedet worden. Aus einer phänomenologischen Perspektive öffnet sich allerdings ein Zwischenweg. Ausgehend von der Erfahrung der Technik als Prothese ermöglicht er ein Denken des Mangels, das sich den Versuchungen der skizzierten Alternativen entzieht, indem es den Mangel weder in einen ontologischen Mängelkatalog noch in ein pures Konstrukt ummünzt, sondern ihn als Erfahrung in den Blick nimmt.
Aus dem verletzten Leben
Authors: Schulze Holger
Published: February 2021

Dieser Beitrag untersucht, was es heißt, verwundet zu leben. Was auf den ersten Blick als eine mehr als gewöhnliche und kaum spektakuläre Frage erscheinen mag, wird nach Untersuchung der dominanten Phantasmen der Unverletzlichkeit als eine Grundfrage der historischen Anthropologie erkennbar: Wie entsteht und wandelt sich der tägliche Umgang mit eigener Verletzlichkeit und Verwundung im Menschenbild? Welche Wunden des Gewöhnlichen werden in den meisten Lebens- und Arbeitsumgebungen im Allgemeinen ignoriert und ausgeblendet? Worin bestehen die Idiosynkrasien eines empfindsamen Leibes, eines sensorisches Corpus? Und in welchem Zusammenhang stehen die Begehren eines bestimmten Menschen zu seinen Wunden? Eine Körperanthropologie der Wunden bezieht die Verletzungen eines Menschen im Laufe seines Lebens als integraler Teil eines Menschenbildes mit ein.
The influence of physical parameters on the in-situ metal carbonyl complex formation studied with the Fast On-line Reaction Apparatus (FORA)
Authors: Wittwer Yves , Eichler Robert , Herrmann Dominik , Türler Andreas
Published: February 2021

The Fast On-line Reaction Apparatus (FORA) was used to investigate the influence of various reaction parameters onto the formation and transport of metal carbonyl complexes (MCCs) under single-atom chemistry conditions. FORA is based on a 252Cf-source producing short-lived Mo, Tc, Ru and Rh isotopes. Those are recoiling from the spontaneous fission source into a reaction chamber flushed with a gas-mixture containing CO. Upon contact with CO, fission products form volatile MCCs which are further transported by the gas stream to the detection setup, consisting of a charcoal trap mounted in front of a HPGe γ-detector. Depending on the reaction conditions, MCCs are formed and transported with different efficiencies. Using this setup, the impact of varying physical parameters like gas flow, gas pressure, kinetic energy of fission products upon entering the reaction chamber and temperature of the reaction chamber on the formation and transport yields of MCCs was investigated. Using a setup similar to FORA called Miss Piggy, various gas mixtures of CO with a selection of noble gases, as well as N2 and H2, were investigated with respect to their effect onto MCC formation and transport. Based on this measurements, optimized reaction conditions to maximize the synthesis and transport of MCCs are suggested. Explanations for the observed results supported by simulations are suggested as well.
Pragmatic impacts, representation, and regulation
Authors: Bakrim Noury
Published: February 2021

This article suggests a model of uttering/énonciation as representational activity (Energeia) throughout the observable case of both impersonal injunctions and collaborative interaction. Being a dynamic relation at the intersection of notions, language and world, reference, this model integrates a new paradigm into the realm of discursive linguistics, the described morphodynamic language phenomenon instead of the described hypothesis emanating from “structuralized” grammars. We thus discuss one aspect of the interaction adjustment/distortion beyond mere projection (stasis of both virtual social markers and uttered stable forms), considering distortion as a relevant marker of the described observable (an interaction from a translation course for instance). Henceforth, beyond the speech act frame, we present a mathematical attempt to study the variation of thepragmatic impacttaking place between projection and result; this last implies two sourcespositions and praxical levels.As a conclusive note, we expose a brief insight into the phenomenon misunderstanding between both neurocognitive and linguistic studies.

Published: February 2021

Die 50+1-Regel soll im deutschen Profifußball den beherrschenden Einfluss eines Muttervereins über eine Profifußballabteilung gewährleisten, wodurch historisch geprägte Mitbestimmungsmöglichkeiten von Vereinsmitgliedern bzw. Fans bewahrt werden. Die anhaltende Diskussion um die Zukunft der Regel gibt unter Beachtung des Stakeholder-Ansatzes Grund zum Anlass, die Interessen von Fußballfans zu fokussieren. Erstmalig wurden dazu in den Jahren 2011 (n=3114) und 2017 (n=3739) die Argumente für eine Beibehaltung, die Argumente für eine Aufhebung sowie die Präferenz hinsichtlich der Zukunft der 50+1-Regel empirisch erhoben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine zeitunabhängige Befürwortung der Beibehaltung der Regel, wobei ergänzend (a) eine anhaltende Befürwortung partizipativer Argumente für eine Beibehaltung, (b) die zunehmende Befürwortung des Ausschlusses von Multi-Club Ownership durch die 50+1-Regel sowie (c) der Rückgang gesellschaftlicher und von Tradition geprägter Argumente für eine Beibehaltung hervorzuheben sind.
Erfolgsbewertung von Fintechs durch die Analyse von Venture Capital Finanzierungsrunden
Authors: Fischer Matthias
Published: February 2021

Von April 1992 bis April 2020 wurden weltweit mehr als 102 Mrd. USD Wagniskapital in Fintechs investiert. In einer empirischen Studie wurden die Fintech-Risikokapitalfinanzierungen in den folgenden Bereichen untersucht: Zahlungsverkehr, Geldanlage, Crowdfunding, Kredite, Factoring, Blockchain, Kryptowährungen, Künstliche Intelligenz und persönliches Finanzmanagement. Es wurden einerseits Durchschnittswerte zwischen Europa, den USA und China analysiert und zudem die Finanzierungsrunden von 486 europäischen und 610 US-amerikanischen Venture Capial Deals untersucht. Die USA verzeichnen im weltweiten Vergleich die meisten Finanzierungsrunden, gefolgt von Europa. China hat relativ wenige Venture Capital Finanzierungsrunden, aber sehr hohe Durchschnittsvolumina je Finanzierungsrunde. Für Fintech-Gründer ist es in den USA einfacher als in Europa eine Frühphasenfinanzierung zu erhalten. In China haben sich die Finanzierungsvolumina für Fintechs in den letzten Jahren überdurchschnittlich gut entwickelt. Die Studie zeigt das Median-Finanzierungsvolumen verschiedener Risikokapital-Finanzierungsrunden, die Veränderung des Median-Finanzierungsvolumens von zwei aufeinander folgenden Runden sowie die Zeitdifferenz zwischen zwei aufeinander folgenden Finanzierungsrunden mit Venture Capital.
Plattformgenossenschaften: Eine Antwort auf die Herausforderungen der Plattformökonomie?
Authors: Wieg Andreas
Published: February 2021

Digitale Plattformen sind aus unserem täglichen Leben kaum wegzudenken. Für Kunden wie auch für Anbieter von Produkten oder Dienstleistungen bieten sie viele Vorteile. Doch es gibt auch Kritik, insbesondere wegen des Missbrauchs ihrer Marktmacht, der Umgehung von gesetzlichen Regelungen oder fragwürdigen Arbeitsbedingungen für die „Clickworker". Deshalb werden eine stärkere Regulierung und ein besserer Ordnungsrahmen insbesondere für die mächtigen Unternehmen des „Plattformkapitalismus" gefordert. Es gibt aber auch immer mehr Stimmen, die Plattformgenossenschaften als Alternative und Antwort auf die benannten Probleme protegieren. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden die möglichen Vorteile und Herausforderungen genossenschaftlich betriebener Plattformen gegenüber einer „typischen", mit Venture-Capital finanzierten Plattform diskutiert. Genossenschaften sind grundsätzlich gut geeignet, eine digitale Plattform im Interesse der (Mitglieder-)Nutzergruppen zu betreiben und auch Einfluss auf die Spielregeln und Arbeitsbedingungen zu nehmen. Zudem können Plattformgenossenschaften den Wettbewerb beleben. Insoweit sind Genossenschaften durchaus eine Antwortmöglichkeit auf die Herausforderungen der Plattformökonomie. Fraglich ist, ob sich (neue) Genossenschaften gegenüber großen, investorengetriebenen Plattformen zumindest in einer Nische behaupten können. Das Potenzial an Kooperationsmöglichkeiten für Plattformen mit spezifischen Nutzerinteressen ist aber groß und vielfältig.

Numerous studies have been published assessing physicians’ satisfaction regarding the quality of pathology departments, which have led to further enhancement.

Our objective is to estimate the satisfaction level between histopathologists and healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia in terms of turnover time in histopathology laboratories and communication, that is, quality of reporting between the two groups.

In this cross-sectional study, we developed a questionnaire covering the areas identified in the literature regarding evaluating the satisfaction between histopathologists and their clients. The questionnaire was conducted in 5 hospitals in Saudi Arabia, each of which has its histopathology unit accredited by the College of American Pathologists.

In our study, we report the results of 129 clients and 30 histopathologists.

On the satisfaction scale (1 out 5, where is 1= very unsatisfied and 5= very satisfied), the clients reported medians of 3.40, 3.83, and 4.00 for turnover time, communication with histopathologists, and quality of reports. Histopathologists reported medians of 4.00, 4.41, and 4.16 for turnover time, communication with their clients, and request style and its sufficiency.

Our conclusion is there is an inclination toward satisfactory results in the examined categories between the histopathologists and their clients.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the association between the characteristics of the support network and cognitive performance of older caregivers and compare characteristics between caregivers and non-caregivers. Methods: we evaluated 85 older caregivers and 84 older non-caregivers registered with primary care units regarding sociodemographic characteristics, cognition, and social support. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed. Results: among non-caregivers, significant associations were found between a better cognitive performance and receiving emotional/affectionate support; each one-point increase in the emotional support score and affectionate support score was related to a 0.43-point and 0.39-point increase in cognitive assessment, respectively. Among older caregivers, each one-point increase in the emotional support score was related to a 0.55-point increase in cognitive assessment. Conclusion: strengthening the support networks of older caregivers and encouraging satisfactory exchanges of social support can assist in improving cognitive performance, which can have a positive impact on caregivers’ health.

Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT: This is a case of medulloepithelioma in a 14-year-old mixed breed gelding horse, presenting a large abnormal mass of tissue involving the entire extension of the right eye. Ophthalmic examination showed deformation and swelling of the eye. The animal showed signs of pain on palpation of the organ, but the specific examination of the systems did not reveal any other changes. Due to the extension of the apparently neoplastic mass and the discomfort experienced by the animal, transpalpebral enucleation procedure was decided. The excised tissue was sent for histopathological analysis, wherein a neoplastic proliferation of neuroectodermal cells was noted. The neoplasm was poorly delimited, unencapsulated, infiltrative, sustained by moderate fibrovascular stroma, and formed cords and rosettes with cells arranged in palisades around the luminal structures (Flexner-Wintersteiner rosettes), suggestive of medulloepithelioma. The immunohistochemical profile was also performed, confirming the diagnosis. The neoplastic cells were immunolabeled to vimentin, S100 protein (S100), and specific neuro enolase (NSE), but not for pan cytokeratin (AE1AE3), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and cytokeratin 8/18 (CK8/18). Five months postoperatively, the animal was healthy, without any relapse or evidence of metastasis.

Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT: This study determined the canal flare index (CFI) of four dog breeds using two distinct femoral regions as a reference. Thirty-five radiographs of the hip joints of Golden Retrievers (GRG), German Shepherds (GSG), Labrador Retrievers (LRG), and Rottweilers (RG) of both sexes were used. Seventy experimental units were submitted to CFI calculation. Objective (CFIob) and subjective (CFIsub) values of the CFI of each experimental unit were determined according to the anatomical reference used for the calculation. A significant difference in the CFIob between the Golden Retriever and German Shepherd breeds (1.68 ± 0.16 and 1.49 ± 0.08), and in the CFIsub between Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, and Rottweiler breeds (2.09 ± 0.31, 1.86 ± 0.11, and 1.84 ± 0.18) was reported. The subjective form of measurement showed higher values than the objective form (GRG: 2.09 ± 0.31; GSG: 1.86 ± 0.11; LRG: 2.07 ± 0.12; RG: 1.84 ± 0.18). The CFI values of each breed were similar, suggesting a certain racial pattern. A significant difference in the interobserver assessment for both CFIsub and CFIob, in all races was observed. The CFI analysis identified morphological patterns of the proximal femur in the different races. Results indicated the need for standardization of the anatomical references used to calculate the CFI because there were statistical differences among the measurements among the observers.

Resumo A coocorrência de fatores de risco pode desencadear doenças crônicas não transmissíveis e no extremo, a mortalidade. Os objetivos deste estudo foram descrever as prevalências e analisar as características sociodemográficas e de vínculo com a universidade associadas à coocorrência de fatores de risco em universitários. O estudo, composto por três inquéritos transversais, foi realizado com universitários da Bahia, Brasil, nos anos de 2010, 2012 e 2014. O desfecho foi a coocorrência de dois ou mais fatores de risco (menores níveis de atividades físicas no tempo livre, excesso de peso, consumo irregular de frutas/hortaliças e auto avaliação negativa do estresse). A associação com as variáveis foi realizada pelas Razões de Prevalências. Participaram do estudo 878, 879 e 877 universitários nos anos 2010, 2012 e 2014, respectivamente. Nos três inquéritos, a prevalência de dois ou mais fatores de risco foram superiores a 70%. Tiveram maiores prevalências de coocorrência de dois ou mais fatores de risco as mulheres, universitários com idade avançada, da área de saúde e com mais tempo de universidade. Conclui-se que a prevalência de coocorrência de dois ou mais fatores de risco foi elevada e que as mulheres representaram o grupo que se destacou com maiores prevalências desse desfecho em todos os inquéritos.

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a frequência de problemas com o sono e os fatores associados, analisando dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, realizado em 2013 no Brasil. Os problemas com o sono foram avaliados com a pergunta “Nas duas últimas semanas, com que frequência o(a) sr(a) teve problemas no sono, como dificuldade para adormecer, acordar frequentemente à noite ou dormir mais do que de costume?”, as respostas foram agrupadas em: nenhum dia, menos da metade dos dias e mais da metade dos dias. Dos indivíduos avaliados, 71,1% relataram não ter problemas com o sono em nenhum dia, 14,0% em pelo menos metade dos dias e 14,9% em mais da metade dos dias. As maiores frequências de problemas com o sono foram relatadas pelas mulheres e com o aumento da idade. Para homens e mulheres, tabagismo, consumo de bebidas alcoólicas, inatividade física, comportamento sedentário e hipertensão arterial apresentaram associação significativa com a frequência de problemas com o sono em mais da metade dos dias, e o excesso de peso para as mulheres. Assim, foi elevada a frequência de problemas com o sono na população brasileira. Mulheres, indivíduos mais velhos, com comportamentos de risco relacionados ao estilo de vida, hipertensão arterial e excesso de peso corporal foram os subgrupos em maior risco.

Published: February 2021

Abstract To estimate the prevalence of social participation (exposure) and its association with positive self-assessment of overall health status (SAH) (outcome) among 7,712 Brazilian elderly interviewed in the National Health Survey 2013. A cross-sectional study that used Propensity Score (PS) to improve comparability between the group exposed and no exposed to social participation. Poisson regression was performed to determine the prevalence and association of interest using crude and adjusted by inverse probability of selection of PS. Social participation was reported by 25.1% (CI95%: 23.4-26.9) and was lower among poor older people, who depend on public transportation and live in more precarious contexts. Most did not SAH positively, but the proportion was higher when they had social participation (48.0%; CI95%: 46.0-51.0). There was a positive association of social participation with SAH positive. The association using the adjusted model (PR: 1.15; CI95%: 1.08-1.22) attenuated the estimated in the crude model. Elderly exposed were 15% more likely to provide a positive SAH.

Resumo Objetivou-se averiguar a relação da COVID-19 com variáveis de vulnerabilidade social em Fortaleza e verificar a influência da violência no trabalho do ACS e suas implicações no enfrentamento da COVID-19. Dados quantitativos primários (e.g., questionários com ACS) e secundários (e.g., IDH, homicídio, analfabetismo, cobertura do Programa Bolsa Família [PBF] e da Estratégia Saúde da Família [ESF]) foram utilizados. Observou-se relação da COVID-19 com indicadores de vulnerabilidade social, onde os casos têm relação negativa com IDH e analfabetismo; e os óbitos relação positiva com taxa de homicídios e cobertura do PBF. Regiões com altas taxas de óbito por COVID-19 e vulnerabilidade social possuem maior cobertura da ESF e menor realização de visita domiciliar pelo ACS. A atuação deste, no enfrentamento da pandemia, é limitada pela violência do território. A plena atuação do ACS, no enfrentamento da COVID-19, é dependente de políticas intersetoriais. Assim, a construção de uma política de enfrentamento da COVID-19, com participação do ACS, precisa levar em consideração, além de seu adequado treinamento na prevenção e detecção de COVID-19, ações intersetoriais para o enfrentamento e prevenção da violência no território.

Resumo Acumulam-se evidências de que o uso de máscaras é uma medida indispensável de proteção à COVID-19, devido ao alto poder de transmissão do novo coronavírus por via respiratória, inclusive por indivíduos assintomáticos. Por sua vez, o uso das máscaras de tecido em locais públicos tem se consolidado como medida adicional de proteção às medidas de distanciamento social e higienização das mãos. Objetivou-se sistematizar as evidências científicas que justificam o amplo uso de máscaras de tecido como prevenção à COVID-19 e descrever a evolução dos posicionamentos contrários ou favoráveis ao seu uso em ambientes extradomiciliares, diante do avanço da pandemia do novo coronavírus pelo mundo. A triagem de artigos e documentos oficiais do Brasil e de outros países indica que o uso de máscaras em locais públicos tornou-se uma intervenção essencial graças ao potencial de reduzir a velocidade de propagação do novo coronavírus. Recomenda-se que o poder público adote estratégias para aumentar a oferta deste produto e fomente estudos para avaliação do impacto da medida no controle da pandemia no Brasil. É imperativo assegurar disponibilidade de máscaras a grupos socioeconomicamente desfavorecidos e garantir que determinados grupos raciais não sejam estigmatizados diante do uso de máscaras em ambientes extradomiciliares.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é compreender o significado da experiência vivenciada por crianças institucionalizadas em abrigo, por meio do brinquedo terapêutico. Estudo descritivo, de abordagem qualitativa, realizada em uma instituição de abrigo não governamental, filantrópica, situada no município de Santos, São Paulo, Brasil. Para a amostra, selecionaram-se cinco crianças de quatro a 11 anos de idade, que concordaram em participar da pesquisa, com autorização do seu responsável legal. A observação durante uma sessão de brinquedo terapêutico dramático foi a estratégia usada para a coleta dos dados, que foram analisados por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Seis categorias emergiram dos dados, evidenciando aspectos do cotidiano da criança no abrigo e na escola, bem como a falta que sente de sua família e a maneira como lida com o medo no abrigo. Ressalta-se, ainda, a tentativa constante de obter a aprovação do adulto e o prazer que sente em brincar com ele. O brinquedo terapêutico possibilitou à criança refletir sobre suas vivências, além de momentos de catarse. Para o adulto, foi possível compreender como é para ela viver em um abrigo e os desafios que tem que enfrentar neste contexto.

Resumo Apesar das dificuldades enfrentadas na vivência de suas sexualidades, a educação sexual de pessoas autistas costuma ser negligenciada. Neste sentido, esta pesquisa objetiva identificar as demandas de autistas sobre sua sexualidade, alinhando-se ao paradigma da neurodiversidade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa realizada de setembro de 2017 a outubro de 2018, com 14 autistas oralizados, com idades de 15 a 17 anos, matriculados em escolas regulares. A coleta dos dados foi realizada por entrevistas semiestruturadas e avaliadas segundo a análise temática de conteúdo. Identificaram-se 2 categorias analíticas: “processos discursivos e a imagética do ‘anjo azul’” e “diversidade na diversidade: a sexualidade de autistas como processos singulares”. Os resultados que embora pessoas autistas se desenvolvam fisicamente e sexualmente de acordo com os estágios típicos de desenvolvimento, existem singularidades que não deveriam ser ignoradas. Todavia, a construção de falsas crenças fomenta a negação da sexualidade de pessoas autistas. Conclui-se que o estabelecimento de ações efetivas de educação sexual e de suporte à sexualidade da pessoa autista requer uma mudança paradigmática, que ancore-se no modelo social de deficiência.

Resumo A avaliação de aplicativos voltados à saúde é necessária para a sua adequação e disseminação na sociedade. O aplicativo GestAção foi avaliado com base na opinião de 13 gestantes acompanhadas em consultas pré-natais, em três serviços públicos de saúde e em uma instituição privada, em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. Os dados emergiram do processo avaliativo realizado de junho a dezembro de 2017, incluindo entrevistas semiestruturadas, tendo sido analisados a partir da análise de conteúdo na modalidade temática e da Semiótica, resultando no tema “significados atribuídos ao aplicativo pelas gestantes”, a qual se associa aos seguintes núcleos de sentido: fornecimento de informações seguras e diversificadas; possibilidade de mudança de comportamento e motivações para a utilização do aplicativo. Considera-se que a Semiótica permitiu compreender os significados atribuídos ao aplicativo, a partir da interação das gestantes com a ferramenta, indicando o GestAção como satisfatório, motivador ao uso, informativo, seguro e promotor de mudanças no contexto da saúde gestacional. O olhar das participantes possibilita que a tecnologia avaliada possa compor as estratégias voltadas à promoção e aos cuidados à saúde das gestantes.

Resumo No Brasil, no âmbito do SUS, a APS ganhou relevância a partir da estruturação da Estratégia Saúde da Família entre as décadas de 1990/2000. Existem inúmeros instrumentos para a avaliação desses serviços no mundo. Dentre eles, destaca-se a família de instrumentos do Primary Care Assessment Tool (PCAT), desenvolvida e disseminada por Starfield e Shi para avaliar a existência e extensão das características dos serviços de atenção primária em saúde. Reforçando a importância do uso desse instrumento no Brasil, o Ministério da Saúde publicou em 2020, uma nova edição da versão brasileira que informa a metodologia utilizada, resgatando o papel do IBGE como grande avaliador externo do SUS. O IBGE incluiu de forma pioneira em seu principal inquérito amostral domiciliar, a Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde, um módulo de perguntas da versão reduzida do PCAT para usuários adultos. Os principais resultados globais encontrados (escore geral=5,9) informam que aqueles que mais utilizam os serviços de APS (adultos com morbidades referidas), são também os que avaliam mais positivamente tais serviços. Também foram observadas diferenças entre os moradores de domicílios cadastrados pelas equipes de Saúde da Família, entre os que recebem visitas de agentes comunitários e agentes de endemias e, por faixa etária (os mais idosos avaliam de forma mais positiva os serviços).

Abstract The Patagonian blenny (Eleginops maclovinus) is species endemic to South America with physiological characteristics that would facilitate its incorporation into Chilean aquaculture. However, there is currently no specific artificial food that can be used to raise E. maclovinus. In light of this problem, this study describes the proximal composition and fatty acid profile of the crab Hemigrapsus crenulatus, one of the main foods of E. maclovinus. The purpose of the study is to serve as basic information for the development of a specific artificial diet for juveniles of this fish species. The proximal analysis of the complete body of H. crenulatus indicates that it is mainly composed of ash (35.9%), proteins (32.2%), glucides (19.8%) and minor lipids (3.6%). The fatty acid profile is 40.7% PUFAs, 29.7% MUFAs and 29.5% SAFAs, and the most abundant acids are Eicosapentaenoic (18.8%), Oleic (6.8%) and Palmitic (16.6%), respectively. H. crenulatus has highest level of proteins, lipids and PUFAs among the species of the Brachyura infraorder.

Published: February 2021

ABSTRACT Context: the Brazilian Amazon region has the largest hydrographic basin in the world. However, even with such abundance, a good part of the population does not have access to quality water in their daily lives. In order to change that reality, a social business called Amana Katu created an innovative sustainable business model based on the principles of circular economy, built through partnerships with NGOs, corporations, government, and universities. Objective: this study aims to understand how sustainable business models can be co-created in challenging contexts. Methods: based on a qualitative case study, data was collected in three phases, from primary and secondary sources over three years, and analyzed following content analysis procedures. Results: the business model is based on different principles of circular economy, and the business co-creation process, based on partnerships with different stakeholders, was fundamental for the generation of value and impact associated with the three dimensions of sustainability. Conclusions: these results contribute to theory for a better understanding of the creation and development of SBMs in challenging contexts. In this kind of context, co-creation processes and a deep relationship with stakeholders have a unique function, and collaborate to create successful initiatives.

Abstract Introduction: GFR is estimated by using creatinine and cystatin C to determine renal dysfunction. Our aim was to evaluate estimated GFR (eGFR) based on cystatin C in type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods: Study group included 52 controls (46% male, age: 54.5±12.4) and 101 diabetic patients (46.5% male, age: 58.2±11). The diabetics were divided into three subgroups according to 24-hour urine albumin: normal to mildly increased (A1) (n=51), moderately increased (A2) (n=25), severely increased (A3) (n=25) albuminuria. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) was determined. Correlations between CrCl and eGFRs estimated according to the CKD-EPI, MDRD, and Cockcroft-Gault (CG) formulas, and ROC curves were evaluated. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. Results: Only CKD-EPI-cys eGFR was significantly lower in the A1 group than the controls (p=0.021). All GFRs were lower in the A3 group than the control (CKD-EPI-cr, MDRD, CKD-EPI-cys, CKD-EPI-cr-cys: p=0.0001, CG and CrCl: p=0.001) and A1 (for all GFRs p=0.0001) groups. CKD-EPI-cr (p=0.004), MDRD (p=0.01), CG (p=0.037), CKD-EPI-cys (p=0.033), and CKD-EPI-cr-cys (p=0.016) eGFRs in the A2 group were significantly different from the A1 group. All eGFRs showed a moderate correlation with CrCl in the A1group (CKD-EPI-cr and CKD-EPI-cr-cys: r=0.49, p=0.0001, MDRD: r=0.44, p=0.001, CG r=0.48, p=0.0001: CKD-EPI-cys r=0.40, p=0.004). The area under the CKD-EPI-cys ROC curve was the highest and found to be 0.847 (95%CI 0.763-0.931, p=0.0001). Conclusions: Our results showed that the CKD-EPI-cys eGFR can be useful in detecting the early stage of DN and more predictive than the others for prediction of DN.
