Precision Public Health: Empowering Communities with Hyperlocal Data for Targeted Interventions and Improved Outcomes
Authors: Bonnett Michaela , Kennedy Meaghan , Okala Odiraa , Garstka Teri
Published: May 2024

Background Precision public health is an effective strategy for reaching the last mile in service delivery, but is frequently hampered by its dependence on unattainable data standards and the non-transferability of the solutions designed. This paper proposes a five-part system involving 1) dynamic data governance, 2) hyperlocal community data, 3) data synthesis and analysis, 4) the design and implementation of precision interventions, and 5) correlation between community data and traditional outcome data. Recent studies of community network data have found the connectedness of communities to be positively correlated with community social and environmental outcomes. Taking advantage of hyperlocal community data is therefore a promising approach to improve community outcomes by characterizing and optimizing for greater connectivity. Methods Collection and governance of hyper-local data that is community-owned can be accomplished through such transferable systems as IRIS, a community-led referral network originally designed for multi-sector social and healthcare organizations. Using this data, communities can identify precise areas of intervention through descriptive and network analysis techniques, and design a responsive, community-led intervention. Immersive Innovation Labs, an applied learning approach, is an effective methodology for the adaptive design of innovative precision interventions. This combination of approaches can empower communities and public health professionals. Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the impact of chronic understaffing and skills gaps, particularly at the local level. This paper aims to broaden the definition of precision public health as a response, beyond the traditional application that is dependent on big, non-contextual data sources. Reframing precision public health to a methodology dependent on community-owned, ongoing data collection allows the design of hyper-local solutions while shifting the burden of scalability to data collection technology. While challenges in implementation remain, precision is necessary to make public health and communities more responsive and effective in delivering equitable health outcomes and reaching the last mile.
PARÂMETROS DOS DIREITOS DO CONSUMIDOR DIGITAL
Authors: Fernandes Thyago , Sander Martinelli Nunes
Published: May 2024

O avanço do comércio eletrônico, juntamente com os progressos nos métodos de pagamento e o aumento do uso de criptomoedas, impulsiona a adoção de tecnologias digitais tanto na seleção quanto na transação de produtos. No entanto, essa mudança apresenta desafios para os consumidores, especialmente aqueles que ainda não estão familiarizados com o comércio online. O comércio eletrônico engloba diversas modalidades, como B2A, B2B, B2C e C2A, e desempenha um papel essencial na economia brasileira. Em 2020, o país registrou um aumento significativo no número de pedidos online, com um faturamento de R$ 126,3 bilhões e 20 milhões de novos clientes. Nesse contexto, este estudo visa compreender a percepção e a avaliação dos consumidores sobre suas experiências com tecnologia digital no comércio eletrônico, além de analisar a aplicação da legislação de proteção ao consumidor nesse cenário. Os objetivos específicos incluem explorar a origem do Código de Defesa do Consumidor, definir o conceito de defeito, avaliar os sistemas de responsabilidade, analisar defesas e impedimentos dessa responsabilidade, investigar casos em que a responsabilidade pode ser imputada ao fornecedor final por produtos defeituosos, examinar o comportamento do consumidor brasileiro em compras online, descrever as inovações trazidas pela Nota Técnica nº 281/2012 para a defesa do consumidor e explorar o direito de desistência de compra. A justificativa para este estudo reside na necessidade de atualizar a legislação de proteção ao consumidor para lidar com os desafios e transformações trazidos pelo comércio eletrônico. Proteger os direitos dos consumidores é crucial em um contexto onde a vulnerabilidade pode ser explorada em transações digitais. Portanto, este trabalho busca contribuir para o entendimento e aprimoramento das leis de proteção ao consumidor no comércio eletrônico no Brasil.

Published: May 2024

As políticas públicas educacionais de inclusão social têm se mostrado essenciais para promover uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária. A inclusão social por meio da educação requer uma abordagem abrangente e holística, que englobe desde o acesso à escola até a permanência e o sucesso dos estudantes. Pensando nisso, esse artigo traz como objetivo principal identificar as políticas públicas educacionais de inclusão social que têm se mostrado efetivas na promoção de uma educação acessível, equitativa e de qualidade para todos os indivíduos. Para isso, este artigo foi construído com base em uma revisão literária de caráter qualitativo, subsidiado por artigos, revistas científicas e outras publicações na área da educação, tendo autores como Farias; Bezerra; Malusá, (2018); Caimi e Luz (2018); Teixeira (2019); Coelho (2020), Mendes e Reis (2021) como principais referências à construção desse artigo. Sendo assim, como resultados, acredita-se que é crucial que haja investimentos e ações concretas para suprir essas lacunas, garantindo que esses alunos tenham acesso a recursos adequados e profissionais capacitados. A presença de salas de recursos multifuncionais e de professores especializados é fundamental para a promoção da inclusão e para assegurar uma educação de qualidade e equitativa para todos os estudantes, independentemente de suas necessidades individuais. Contudo, é importante ressaltar que as políticas públicas educacionais de inclusão social devem ser acompanhadas de mecanismos de monitoramento e avaliação para verificar sua efetividade e realizar ajustes necessários. O envolvimento de todos os atores envolvidos no processo educacional - governos, educadores, famílias e comunidades - é crucial para o sucesso dessas políticas. A construção de parcerias sólidas e a participação ativa da sociedade civil são essenciais para a implementação e sustentabilidade das políticas de inclusão social.

Authors: De Lima Pereira Costa Sandra Helena , Soares de Azevedo Carlos Eduardo , Cavalcante Severino Carlos Eduardo
Published: May 2024

Diversas vezes o serviço do enfermeiro está atrelado a más condições de trabalho, ambiente doentio, excesso de carga de horários trabalhadas, exposição a riscos, unidos à vulnerabilidade e às condições de saúde do trabalhador. Esses motivos podem levar a distúrbios e transtornos psicológicos como estresse e síndrome de Burnout. Objetivo: Analisar a partir da literatura existente, quais os fatores que têm contribuído para reincidência de casos da síndrome de Burnout entre enfermeiros no período de 2019 a 2023. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de revisão bibliográfica integrativa realizada nas bases de dados eletrônicas nacionais (SCIELO) e internacionais (IBECS, PUBMED e LILACS) em que foram selecionados de acordo com critérios, oito artigos que revelaram que a sindrome afeta gravemente os enfermeiros em diversas áreas como saúde mental, física, desempenho profissional, relações interpessoais, satisfação e retenção,  o que acaba impactando negativamente o cuidado aos paciente de várias maneiras como qualidade do atendimento, empatia, comunicação, capacidade de tomar decisões, continuidade do cuidado e motivação. Conclusão: A escassa literatura evidencia a necessidade de estudos sobre a síndrome de Burnout como causadora de grandes impactos na vida profissional e pessoal dos enfermeiros. O modo como as pessoas são tratadas e como lidam com os problemas e dificuldades de sua rotina seja no trabalho ou não, contribui para o surgimento ou piora desse distúrbio.

Authors: Akkaya Şahinde
Published: May 2024

Hastalık, birey ve toplumsal yaşam için bir tehdit olarak görülmüş; kaçınılması, uzak durulması gereken bir olgu olarak kabul edilmiştir. Hastalığın etkisiyle damgalanan bedenler toplumsal yaşamın dışında tutulmuş; hastalıklı bedenlere ilişkin temsiller kötülükle bağlantılı olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bu yaklaşım sanatta da benzer biçimde karşılık bulmuş; çirkinlikle ilişkilendirilen hastalıklı ya da deforme bedenler estetiğin alanından uzak tutulmuştur. Buna karşılık estetik bulunan sağlıklı ve güzel bedenler sanatın alanında sıklıkla temsil edilmiştir. Batı sanatında Antik Yunan’dan beri farklı sanatçıların yorumlarıyla yeniden üretilen aşk ve güzellik tanrıçası Venüs’ün kadın bedenine ve çıplaklığa ilişkin temsilin en bilindik imgesi olagelmesi gibi… İster hastalık isterse güzellikle ilişkilendirilmiş olsun bedene yüklenen anlam, insanın geride bıraktığı her dönemde farklılıklar göstermiş olsa da beden daima bir mücadele ve temsiliyet alanı olarak varolmayı sürdürmüştür. Bu çalışmada Hannah Wilke'nin kansere yakalanmasıyla başlayan klinik süreci, tersine çevrilmiş venüs imgesi üzerinden kurguladığı otopatografik anlatısı olan Intra-Venus serisi, Kristeva'nın abjekt nosyonu bağlamında ele alınacaktır.

Advances in cytokine-regulated phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerosis
Authors: Shi Cheng-Long , Min Xiao-Li
Published: May 2024

Cardiovascular diseases represent the principal cause of mortality worldwide, with atherosclerosis (AS) being a critical underlying factor. AS is responsible for about half of the deaths in Western nations, underscoring the urgency for targeted therapeutic interventions. This review highlights the role of cytokines in modulating the phenotypic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which are pivotal in the development and stability of atherosclerotic plaques. VSMCs, integral to the AS plaque architecture, exhibit significant plasticity in response to environmental cues. They can differentiate into mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-like, macrophage-like, foam cell-like, adipocyte-like, endothelial-like, osteoblast-like, and fibroblast-like phenotypes. This article systematically reviews recent advancements in understanding the molecular mechanisms by which cytokines influence VSMCs behavior in AS, offering insights into new therapeutic strategies aimed at early intervention and treatment of AS.

Published: May 2024

En la articulación de la rodilla se describen diversas entidades traumáticas. Entre las causadas por avulsión destaca la fractura de la espina tibial. La estructura responsable de la tracción de este fragmento óseo es el ligamento cruzado anterior, el que en combinación con otros mecanismos de acción en el eje axial y rotacional provocan esta fractura. Según su severidad, se clasifican en cuatro grados, de menor a más severas, lo que ayuda a definir la conducta terapéutica que puede ser tanto conservadora como quirúrgica. Las complicaciones son las típicas de las lesiones intrarticulares, las que pueden llegar hasta la anquilosis de la articulación.

Authors: Garcés Fuentes Lisett , Díaz Estévez Harasay , Stanley Dana
Published: May 2024

Fundamento: La hidrocefalia congénita puede tener un pronóstico más favorable si se detecta y trata tempranamente. La fisioterapia puede ayudar a mejorar la función motora y la calidad de vida, pero el resultado final depende de múltiples factores. Caso clínico: Paciente de 6 años de edad, con antecedentes de hidrocefalia congénita detectada prenatalmente, que tuvo un episodio de hipertensión intracraneal por obstrucción del sistema derivativo, luego de lo cual se recuperó con secuelas neurológicas motoras y visuales. Es recibido en la Clínica Inspiration Center para rehabilitación. Después de los hallazgos iniciales de fuerza, resistencia, equilibrio y control motor deficientes que dieron como resultado una movilidad dependiente, el plan de terapia física se centró en ejercicios y actividades para abordar estas deficiencias. Se evaluó y trató por Oftalmología la deficiencia visual, que también se rehabilitó. Parte de las sesiones se realizaron presenciales, y otras en línea. Fue esencial el apoyo y participación de la familia. Al año de tratamiento caminaba de forma independiente, con mejoría notable de su equilibrio en todo tipo de superficie (sube y baja escaleras, puede patear un balón, puede dar pasos hacia atrás y hacia los lados más amplios). Se logró de esta forma su incorporación progresiva a los juegos infantiles, con mayor autonomía y desenvolvimiento. Conclusiones: La combinación de un programa de terapia física, con estimulación en la clínica, con el entrenamiento a la familia y la rehabilitación en el hogar, permiten obtener excelentes resultados en niños con lesiones neurológicas agudas como el aquí presentado.

From Feeling to Fidelity: Exploring the Role of Emotional Structures on Brand Satisfaction and Loyalty
Authors: Judmar D Zabala , Joseph Roque Aaron , Sannelyn Cristobal , Lester Daxen Cortes Mark , Louis G Lazaro Bryan
Published: May 2024

This study examined the relationships between four variables: BS AVE, EBA AVE, BL AVE, and BLO AVE. A correlation matrix was used to assess the strength and direction of these relationships. Pearson's r correlation coefficient was used to measure the strength of the relationships, and p-values were used to assess their statistical significance. The results showed that all of the correlations were statistically significant (p < .001). The strongest correlation was between BS AVE and BL AVE (r = .902), followed by the correlation between BS AVE and EBA AVE (r = .856), and the correlation between BL AVE and BLO AVE (r = .851). The correlation between EBA AVE and BLO AVE (r = .802) was the weakest. These findings suggest that there are strong positive relationships between all four variables. The strongest relationship is between BS AVE and BL AVE, which suggests that these two variables are the most similar. The weakest relationship is between EBA AVE and BLO AVE, which suggests that these two variables are the least similar.
A Case of Dilated Cardiomyopathy caused by TTN Truncating Mutation
Authors: Thai Phan Hao
Published: May 2024

Dilated cardiomyopathy is one of the leading causes of heart failure with high morbidity and mortality. Although more than 40 genes have been reported to cause dilated cardiomyopathy, the role of genetic testing in clinical practice is not well defined. Mutations in the titin (TTN) gene represent an important subset of known disease-causing mutations associated with dilated cardiomyopathy. TTN truncating mutations are a common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy, occurring in approximately 25% of familial cases of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy and in 18% of sporadic cases. Here, we presented a case of dilated cardiomyopathy caused by TTN mutation in 20-year-old male.
Evaluating Impact of Exchange Rate Fluctuation and Political Instability on Inflation: A Fresh Insight from Pakistan
Authors: -ul-Abideen Zain , Rahman Abdul , Raza Qasim , Babar Khan Muhammad
Published: May 2024

Empirical research has been done to examine the impact of exchange rate fluctuations and political instability on inflation in Pakistan, using time series data spanning from 1990 to 2022. This study accounts for the contribution of both macroeconomic indicators and political factors towards inflation, taking Pakistan as a case study to depict that relationship. Unit root tests, co-integration, error correction model, and correlational analysis are applied. Findings suggest that there is a long-term relationship between selected macroeconomic and political variables contributing to the increased inflation in the country. The exchange rate is found to be marginally insignificant, and political instability and the presence of violence and terrorism are directly related to the increased inflationary trends in Pakistan. In contrast, the quality of government that includes political factors shows that a higher-quality government is likely to have better economic management policies and practices, which helps to control inflation and maintain price stability. Considering the results, it is suggested that if there is political stability in Pakistan, it will stabilize, which will lead to increased investment business confidence, and economic development.

Published: May 2024

Si en la actualidad domina la percepción de que habitamos una realidad hueca, en gran medida se debe la grieta existente entre la “realidad efectiva” (Wirklichkeit) histórica, y la “realidad estática” (Realität). La última no tiene capacidad de legitimar ni dar sentido los hechos. Si las formas de irrealidad nos acosan, ello parece síntoma de encontrarnos en un umbral de época, un momento en el que lo que consideramos real se tambalea y es ocasión para reconocer otra realidad que un metaverso metropolizado

Published: May 2024

Objective: To investigate the relationship between social interaction anxiety, cognitive distortions, and life satisfaction among school students.
Design: Correlational and Cross-sectional research design was used for the present study.
Place and Duration: Present study was conducted in Faisalabad during 2019 to 2020.
Method: A sample of 200 students having inaction anxiety (boys=100, girls=100) with age range 14-16 were recruited through purposive sampling from Government schools of the Faisalabad. Demographic Information Sheet, Social Interaction Anxiety Scale, Cognitive Distortions Scale and student’s life satisfaction scale were used to collect information about the students, social interaction anxiety, cognitive distortions and life satisfaction of the respondents.
Result: The results indicated that social interaction anxiety had a significant and positive correlation with cognitive distortion (r = .66, p < .001) and negative but significant correlation with life satisfaction (r = -.60, p < .001). Cognitive distortion was emerged as strong predictor for social interaction anxiety that accounted 46% variance for social interaction anxiety and social interaction anxiety was emerged as strong predictor for life satisfaction that accounted 36% of variance for life satisfaction. Results indicated that female students were having more social interaction anxiety & cognitive distortions and less satisfied with life as compared to male students.
Conclusion: Individuals with social interaction anxiety have dysfunctional thoughts.  Due to cognitive distortions these individuals evaluate social situations in a negative way and prior to interaction, these individuals appraise the social situation in a negative way. These individuals were also dissatisfied with their life. The findings of the study might be helpful for teachers, parents and the students to identify and handle the cognitive distortions.

Maternal authoritarianism positively predicts excessive worry, detached coldness, risk aversion, constricted, inflexible, dogmatism, perfectionism, workaholism, doggedness and ruminative deliberation while maternal authoritativeness negatively predicts detached coldness, risk aversion, inflexible, doggedness and ruminative deliberation. Spearman Rank Order Correlation of sample II showed that no significant relationship of paternal and maternal parenting style with specific symptom dimension of OCD was found.
Conclusion
Authoritarian parenting style positively predicts OCPTs. No significant relationship exists between perceived parenting style and specific OCD symptom dimensions.
El abandono de la crítica
Authors: Biset Emmanuel
Published: May 2024

El objetivo del artículo es presentar y discutir los alcances de la crítica en el pensamiento contemporáneo. Para ello, en primer lugar, se realiza una sistematización de la retórica de la crítica desde los aportes de Rita Felski. En segundo lugar, se muestra cómo la crítica ha sido redefinida desde el paso de una escena textual a una postextual de la teoría según Claire Colebrook. Desde estas dos caracterizaciones generales, en tercer lugar, a partir de la obra de Quentin Meillassoux se analiza la estructura correlacional de la crítica para mostrar la posibilidad de redefinirla desde el concepto de absoluto. Por último, a partir de la obra de Bruno Latour se analiza el fetichismo de la crítica y su propuesta de ir hacia un composicionismo. En resumidas cuentas, analizando cierta escena de la teoría contemporánea se busca sistematizar los rasgos de la crítica y cómo se da lugar a su abandono.

The growth rate of GDP lagged to two period have a significant positive influence on growth rate of GDP, the gross national savings measured as a percentage of GDP lagged to two period is statistically significant and negatively related to the growth rates of GDP and in addition, the paper found a negative and statistically significant relationship between inflation lagged to two period and growth rate of GDP in Tanzania.

As regards to the causality test, the findings reject the null hypothesis of no evidence of Granger causality between trade openness and economic growth however the test could not account for the magnitude of causality. Based of on the findings, the paper recommends measures to foster trade liberalization by pursuing policies that promote trade such as reducing tariffs, streamlining custom procedures, eliminating non-tariff barriers to trade, encouraging Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and investing in infrastructure development, optimal savings and controlling higher inflation so as to promote economic growth by implementing policies which target inflation reduction and promote economic stabilization.
EMERGING SUSTAINABILITY AND CO-CREATION PERSPECTIVES IN PUBLIC SECTOR GOVERNANCE: THE CASE OF ZIMBABWE
Authors: Njanji Prince , Zhou Gideon
Published: May 2024

Globally, sustainability and co-creation perspectives are emerging as success factors for effective public sector service delivery. Sustainability perspectives exhort public institutions to embrace governance practices that are fair to both present and future generations, while co-creation perspectives reinforce sustainability by calling for government collaboration with citizens to enable joint design and production of goods and services. Utilising New Public Governance and Public Value theoretical and conceptual frameworks, the study undertook systematic reviews of relevant experiences in selected countries that include Japan, South Africa, Uganda and the United Kingdom in a bid to create a basis for interpreting the dynamics affecting the uptake of sustainability and co-creation perspectives in the public sectors in Zimbabwe, using the mining and energy sectors as principal case studies. Study findings indicate that although sustainability and co-creation concepts and practices are taking root across public sectors in Zimbabwe, more concerted efforts are needed to escalate their uptake at both the macro and micro levels. Particularly critical, is the need for a coherent policy framework that sets the right tone for the uptake of sustainability and co-creation. Open government, collaborative governance, decentralisation, and generative governance need to be cascaded to key sectors of the economy to allow the establishment of a robust framework for co-creation and sustainability.
POST-PRIVATISATION PROTECTION OF EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS IN TANZANIA
Authors: Lugaziya Mutabaazi. J.
Published: May 2024

Privatisation of public enterprises in Tanzania, wholly or partially, was propagated on the promise that it was the panacea to all economic ills, which was to include revival of public enterprises, most of which were limping or resurrecting from the tomb of Lazarus into which they had been laid. However, the promised miracles, including increased employment and improved working conditions have not happened. On the contrary, one net effect of privatisation was the reduction in employment, which prompted government intervention through a number of laws and policies to address the plight of employees,  particularly securing their employment and creating good working conditions. Subsequently, indigenous employees were given preference in employment wherenecessary, and their positions were secured. Moreover, even  where the investor had employed some foreigners, the law made provision that such positions would eventuallybe taken over by indigenous employees. However, these restrictions were said to violate the so called international best labour practices embodied in various ILO Conventions to which Tanzania is a party.  In this study, it is argued that the legislations which are said to restrict the employment of foreigners to give more opportunity to Tanzanianswere necessary, despite the international treaties to which Tanzania is a signatory. Tanzania as a sovereign state, should be able to pass legislations which are beneficial to its people, without necessarily hurting the interests of the investors, which include conducive environment for doing their business and getting profits, without regard towho should be employed.
