Authors: Chernyadeva E. V. , Shklyaev A. E.
Published: December 2021

The aim. To study the quality of life and psychoemotional state of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease against the background of primary hypothyroidism during the use of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate.

Materials and methods. 111 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver were examined, among them 35 were without thyroid dysfunction, 55 with compensated primary hypothyroidism, 21 with decompensated hypothyroidism. The patients underwent general clinical, biochemical, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays of blood, instrumental studies, testing according to psychological questionnaires.

Results. With decompensation of hypothyroidism, a statistically significant increase in indicators of depression, situational and personal anxiety was revealed in comparison with patients without hypothyroidism. The examined patients showed an increase in the level of situational and personal anxiety. The presence of hypothyroidism in the examined patients significantly worsens these indicators, leading to an increase in the degree of anxiety, aggravated by decompensation of hypothyroidism. A positive dynamic was revealed in the correction of the psychoemotional status of patients in the observation group during the complex treatment with ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate: the severity of depression, situational and personal anxiety, manifestations of dyspeptic and reflux syndromes decreased.

Conclusion. Hypothyroidism affects the quality of life and psycho-emotional state of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: it worsens the degree of depression, situational and personal anxiety. The addition of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate to standard therapy with sodium levothyroxine in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the setting of hypothyroidism improves the quality of life and psycho-emotional state.

Authors: Кляус М.П.
Published: December 2021

В статье представлены результаты исследования ценностных ориентаций студенческой молодежи Забайкальского края по материалам анкетного опроса студентов разных факультетов Забайкальского государственного университета, проведенного в конце 2020 г. Анкета содержала вопросы, направленные на выявление индивидуальных ценностей и жизненных ориентаций студенческой молодежи. Среди значимых маркеров гражданской активности и досуговых предпочтений рассматривались как современные события и направления жизнедеятельности российского общества, так и эпизоды российской истории, объекты культурного наследия и природные богатства. По результатам опроса было выявлено, что в структуре идентичностей молодежи преобладает гражданская идентичность. В системе жизненных ценностей важную роль играет отношение к историческому опыту, традициям и культуре своего народа. Доминирующим при общении остается русский язык. Опрос показал миграционные настроения студентов, а также желание абсолютного большинства респондентов участвовать в волонтерской деятельности.

НАУЧНОЕ ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЕ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЙ НАЦИОНАЛЬНОЙ ПОЛИТИКИ в 1990-е – НАЧАЛЕ 2000-х гг.: КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНЫЕ И ИНСТИТУЦИОНАЛЬНЫЕ ОСНОВЫ
Authors: Полунов А.Ю.
Published: December 2021

В статье рассматривается процесс выработки концептуальных и институциональных основ научного обеспечения государственной национальной политики в постсоветский период. Отмечается, что необходимость разработки новых подходов к анализу этнополитических процессов, совершенствования механизмов научной экспертизы была связана с резким обострением межэтнической напряженности в конце 1980-х – начале 1990-х гг. В новых условиях выдвигались концепции, подчеркивавшие значительную роль субъективного фактора в определении этнических идентичностей, возможность смены самоидентификации, изменчивость межгрупповых границ. Делался акцент на необходимость формирования гражданской нации, объединяющей россиян независимо от этнической и конфессиональной принадлежности. Идеи, связанных с указанными положениями, нашли отражение в основополагающих государственных актах Российской Федерации – Конституции 1993 г., Концепции государственной национальной политики. Воплотить в жизнь новые принципы должен был ряд законов, в частности, закон о национально-культурных автономиях 1996 г. Вместе с тем острые дискуссии в академическом сообществе по вопросу о природе этничности, постепенное снижение интереса властей к регулированию межэтнических отношений затруднили выстраивание эффективной системы научного обоснования государственной национальной политики. Существенные позитивные сдвиги в этой области происходят только в 2010-е гг.
The article examines the institutional mechanisms and conceptual foundations of the scientific support of the state national policy in the post-Soviet period. The need to develop new approaches to the analysis of ethnopolitical processes and improve the mechanisms of scientific expertise was caused by the rise of interethnic tension in the late 1980s - early 1990s. The concepts proposed in the new situation emphasized the significant role of the subjective factor in ethnic identification, the possibility of changing self-identification, and the variability of intergroup boundaries. Emphasis was placed on forming a civil nation that would unite all Russians regardless of ethnicity and confessional affiliation. These ideas influenced important provisions of the fundamental state acts of the Russian Federation - the Constitution of 1993, the Concept of State Ethnic Policy. A number of laws were supposed to implement the new principles, particularly the 1996 Law on national and cultural autonomies. At the same time, heated discussions in the academic community on the nature of ethnicity, the gradual decline of the authorities' interest in regulating interethnic relations made it difficult to build an effective system of scientific support of the state ethnic policy. Significant positive shifts in this area took place only in the 2010s.

Authors: Tajudeen Yusuf Amuda , Oladunjoye Iyiola Olatunji , Mustapha Mutiat Oluwakemi , Mustapha Sheriff Taye , Ajide-Bamigboye Nimat Toyosi
Published: December 2021

Background: The rapid circulation of arboviruses in the human population has been linked with changes in climatic, environmental, and socio-economic conditions. These changes are known to alter the transmission cycles of arboviruses involving the anthropophilic vectors and thus facilitate an extensive geographical distribution of medically important arboviral diseases, thereby posing a significant health threat. Using our current understanding and assessment of relevant literature, this review aimed to understand the underlying factors promoting the spread of arboviruses and how the three most renowned interdisciplinary and holistic approaches to health such as One Health, Eco-Health, and Planetary Health can be a panacea for control of arboviruses. Methods: A comprehensive structured search of relevant databases such as Medline, PubMed, WHO, Scopus, Science Direct, DOAJ, AJOL, and Google Scholar was conducted to identify recent articles on arboviruses and holistic approaches to health using the keywords including "arboviral diseases", "arbovirus vectors", "arboviral infections", "epidemiology of arboviruses", "holistic approaches", "One Health", "Eco-Health", and "Planetary Health" Results: Changes in climatic factors like temperature, humidity, and precipitation support the growth, breeding, and fecundity of arthropod vectors transmitting the arboviral diseases. Increased human migration and urbanization due to socio-economic factors play an important role in population increase leading to the rapid geographical distribution of arthropod vectors and transmission of arboviral diseases. Medical factors like misdiagnosis and misclassification also contribute to the spread of arboviruses. Conclusion: This review highlights two important findings: First, climatic, environmental, socio-economic, and medical factors influence the constant distributions of arthropod vectors. Second, either of the three holistic approaches or a combination of any two can be adopted on arboviral disease control. Our findings underline the need for holistic approaches as the best strategy to mitigating and controlling the emerging and reemerging arboviruses.

Authors: Adebisi Yusuff Adebayo , Rabe Adrian , Lucero-Prisno III Don Eliseo
Published: December 2021

Background: Surveillance forms the basis for response to disease outbreaks, including COVID-19. Herein, we identified the COVID-19 surveillance systems and the associated challenges in 13 African countries. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive narrative review of peer-reviewed literature published between January 2020 and April 2021 in PubMed, Medline, PubMed Central, and Google Scholar using predetermined search terms. Relevant studies from the search and other data sources on COVID-19 surveillance strategies and associated challenges in 13 African countries (Mauritius, Algeria, Nigeria, Angola, Cote d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Ethiopia, South Africa, Kenya, Zambia, Tanzania, and Uganda) were identified and reviewed. Results: Our findings revealed that the selected African countries have ramped up COVID-19 surveillance ranging from immediate case notification, virological surveillance, hospital-based surveillance to mortality surveillance among others. Despite this, there exist variations in the level of implementation of the surveillance systems across countries. Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) strategy is also being leveraged in some African countries, but the implementation across countries remains uneven. Our study also revealed various challenges facing surveillance which included shortage of skilled human resources resulting in poor data management, weak health systems, complexities of ethical considerations, diagnostic insufficiency, the burden of co-epidemic surveillance, and geographical barriers, among others. Conclusion: With the variations in the level of implementation of COVID-19 surveillance strategies seen across countries, it is pertinent to ensure proper coordination of the surveillance activities in the African countries and address all the challenges facing COVID-19 surveillance using tailored strategies.
Association between sedentary behavior and low back pain; A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Baradaran Mahdavi Sadegh , Riahi Roya , Vahdatpour Babak , Kelishadi Roya
Published: December 2021

Background: Sedentariness is a substantial risk for many chronic diseases. We aimed to investigate the correlation of sedentary behavior and its indicators with low back pain (LBP) among adults and children. Methods: Original articles published up to April 28, 2020, using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus were evaluated. Odds ratio (OR, 95% CI) was considered the overall effect size for desired associations. Results: We reviewed 49 English articles with analytical observational study design, of which, 27 studies with cross sectional/survey design were retained in the meta-analysis. Among adults, sedentary lifestyle was a considerable risk factor for LBP (OR=1.24, 1.02-1.5); prolonged sitting time (OR=1.42, 1.09-1.85) and driving time (OR=2.03, 1.22-3.36) were the significant risk factors. Sedentary behavior was associated with LBP in office workers (OR=1.23). Moreover, excess weight (OR=1.35, 1.14-1.59) and smoking (OR=1.28, 1.03-1.60) were associated with LBP. Among children, sedentary lifestyle was a remarkable risk factor for LBP (OR=1.41, 1.24- 1.60); prolonged TV watching (OR=1.23, 1.08-1.41) and computer/mobile using and console playing time (OR=1.63, 1.36-1.95) were significant risk factors for LBP. Consumption of coffee, however, has yield conflicting results to be considered as a risk factor. Moreover, the researches on the correlation between sedentariness and high-intensity LBP are scarce and inconclusive. Conclusion: Sedentary behavior, whether in work or leisure time, associates with a moderate increase in the risk of LBP in adults, children and adolescents.

Authors: Malek Mahdavi Aida , Javadivala Zeinab
Published: December 2021

Background: Considering limitations of the established osteoarthritis (OA) medications, attention to adjuvant and complementary treatments has increased in OA individuals. Recent investigations have reported advantages of pomegranate in OA and indicate that pomegranate can be a therapeutic option; nevertheless, no systematic review exists regarding OA and pomegranate. Therefore, we systematically studied accessible researches regarding pomegranate and OA in human, animal, and in vitro models and likely mechanistic pathways. Methods: Present systematic review study was recorded on the international prospective register of systematic reviews database. Electronic databases (Scopus, PubMed, Embase, WOS, ProQuest) and search engine Google Scholar were searched until February 2021. Search alerts were turned on to recognize papers published following the primary search. Two investigators independently searched using MESH and non-MESH words in title, abstract, and keywords. Inclusion criteria were related clinical, animal, and in vitro studies published in any language as a full text. Exclusion criteria were reviews, book chapters, conference abstracts, and articles regarding pomegranate in health problems other than OA. Hand searching was used to check the references or citations of eligible papers and grey literature (theses etc.) to find potential researches. Results: Twenty-three articles were included in our systematic review. Human, animal, and in vitro researches demonstrated favorable properties of pomegranate in improving clinical features and reducing inflammatory, oxidative stress, and apoptosis markers in OA. Conclusion: Present paper provides convincing evidence about the efficacy of pomegranate in OA and gives a justification for the importance of additional clinical studies.
Socioeconomic determinants of teenage pregnancy and early motherhood in the United Kingdom: A perspective
Authors: Aluga David , Okolie Elvis Anyaehiechukwu
Published: December 2021

The United Kingdom has one of the highest teenage birth rates among countries in western Europe. Government initiatives such as the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy introduced by the labor government in 1999 to reduce the teenage pregnancy rate by half in ten years could be responsible for the steady decline in teenage conception and childbirth for the past two decades. However, to sustain this decrease it is crucial to consider the broader socioeconomic and environmental determinants of teenage pregnancy at the population level. A selected literature search was conducted in this respect to highlight the factors that could be neglected by recent interventions on teenage pregnancy and childbirth in the United Kingdom.

Authors: Akinokun Rafiat Tolulope , Ilesanmi Esther Bosede , Adebisi Yusuff Adebayo , Akingbade Oluwadamilare
Published: December 2021

Health care services and programs directed towards combating the neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) have been disrupted because of the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The African continent because of its staggering health care system and poor economy disproportionately bears the burden of these diseases. While successes have been recorded in controlling and eliminating the NTDs, policymakers in Africa should consider the potential of the COVID-19 to dwindle these successes an issue of high priority. This commentary seeks to discuss the current status of NTDs in Africa and proffer recommendations to help combat these diseases at this period. It is worthy to say that similar dedication directed towards fighting the COVID-19 should also be deployed into eliminating other diseases like the NTDs which often, are neglected.
Addressing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy: Lessons from the role of community participation in previous vaccination programs
Authors: Afolabi Aanuoluwapo Adeyimika , Ilesanmi Olayinka Stephen
Published: December 2021

The acceptance of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine has been described as a gateway to attaining herd immunity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The critical role of community participation (CP) has been successfully demonstrated in previous vaccination programs globally. This perspective therefore aimed to describe how CP could be used to promote COVID-19 vaccination acceptance. To promote COVID-19 vaccine acceptance, it is required that a mapping of community assets, resources, civil-based organizations, and stakeholders is done to gain insight into the community culture and value in relation to COVID-19 vaccine. This will help to address the misconceptions while prompting COVID-19 vaccination sensitization activities that are relevant to each community. It is required that policy makers understand that the adoption of a comprehensive grassroots approach lends a voice to the community and helps to utilize community-initiated and community-driven ideas on promoting COVID-19 vaccine acceptance.
Effectiveness of Line application and telephone-based counseling to improve medication adherence: A randomized control trial study among uncontrolled type 2 diabetes patients
Authors: Wungrath Jukkrit , Autorn Nattapong
Published: December 2021

Background: More than 4.2 million cases of diabetes mellitus (DM) were reported in Thailand during 2019. Medication adherence is necessary to delay disease progression and prevent complications among uncontrolled type 2 DM patients. The objective of this research was to study how education via the Line application and telephone-based counseling impacted medication adherence knowledge by analyzing the behavior of uncontrolled type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: Uncontrolled type 2 DM patients in Doi Saket Hospital, Doi Saket district, Chiang Mai province, Thailand. were included in the study. The sample was divided into an experimental (n=30) and control group (n=30). Patients who met the inclusion criteria of having uncontrolled type 2 diabetes diagnosed by a physician for at least one year, capable of communicating in Thai, possessing a mobile phone with the Line application and able to partake in activities for eight weeks were recruited in the parallel-group randomized trial. The experimental group participated in the developed education program, while the control group received standard routine health education activities provided by their health care providers. The intervention was based on the 5Rs principle as right medicine, right dose, right route, right patient and right time and included activities via the Line application and telephone-based counseling. Participants were evaluated for their medication adherence knowledge and behavior. Results: After eight weeks of education through the Line application and telephone-based counseling, posttest mean scores of medication adherence knowledge of the experimental and control groups were 18.03 (SD=0.28) and 12.37 (SD=0.62), while posttest mean scores of medication adherence behavior of the experimental and control groups were 49.28 (SD=3.77) and 33.84 (SD=3.81), respectively. Results revealed that the experimental group had statistically significant (P<0.01) higher medication adherence knowledge and behavior mean scores. Conclusion: Education using the Line application and telephone-based counseling program improved medication adherence knowledge and behavior among uncontrolled type 2 DM patients. Other outcomes of social media interactions such as patient engagement, patient behavior and attitudes, and the efficacy of patient-health care provider communication levels are possible areas for future study.

Authors: Singkun Awirut , Kallawicha Kraiwuth , Yamarat Khemika
Published: December 2021

Background: The prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases is an important public health problem, especially in people who are sexually active, such as the army conscript group. However, their knowledge, attitudes, and practices may be influenced by certain cultures and beliefs. This study explored the factors associated with the risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among the Muslim army conscript in three deep southern provinces of Thailand. Methods: The cross-sectional study design was conducted among 360 Muslim army conscripts. A researcher made questionnaire on knowledge of HIV/STI transmission, attitude toward condom use, and sexual behavior was distributed to the participants in a camp base. The association between the potential predictor variables and the risk of HIV/STI was analyzed using the multiple logistic regression. Statistically significant of the association considered a P value ≤ 0.05. Results: The results suggest that most Muslim army conscripts had a poor knowledge level of HIV/STI transmission (78.7%) and that their attitude toward condom use was at a moderate level (60.0%). The predicted factors were marital status [aOR=0.078, 95% CI=0.035-0.172], substance use before having sex [aOR=8.044, 95% CI=1.288-50.230], stimulant use before having sex [aOR=3.632, 95% CI=1.080-12.211], vaginal sexual intercourse [aOR=26.228, 95% CI=8.370-82.189], and oral sexual intercourse [aOR=2.256, 95% CI=1.106-4.601]. Conclusion: A proper sexual health education program should be developed and delivered to enhance knowledge on HIV/STI transmission among Muslim army conscripts.
Applying the integrated marketing communication approach to recruit and retain African American women
Authors: Hayes Traci , Sharma Manoj
Published: December 2021

Background: Researchers use multiple approaches to engage and maintain underrepresented populations in research. They often overlook integrated marketing communication (IMC), a useful approach for commercial marketing, for more established health promotion and social marketing techniques. There is limited information on the application of the IMC approach for recruiting and retaining African American study participants. This article explores the IMC approach used to recruit and retain volunteers for a community-based intervention. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study relying on extracted data from the Multi-Theory Model (MTM) of Health Behavior Physical Activity intervention. A brief multiple-choice survey was administered to a sample of African American women (n=74) to assess the effectiveness of applying an IMC approach for recruiting and retaining volunteers for the multi-week program during January - June 2018. The measures were (1) source for study information, (2) preferred method of contact, (3) primary source for health information. Results: Sixty-nine women listed their doctor as the primary source of health information and five women in the age group 18-34 identified social media (n=3) and websites (n=2). Age is significantly related to the preference of communication tools used to recruit and retain the African American participants. A statistical significance (P=0.025) suggests for women ages 51-69, a combination of radio, church, and word of mouth was more effective for recruitment. The older women preferred telephone calls compared to the women ages 18-50 who relied on texting. Conclusion: IMC can synergize individual communication elements in a coordinated manner to address niche audiences and develop cost-effective health communications programs that can improve recruitment and retention efforts in minority populations.
"I feel too lethargic to do physical activity": Perceptions of Iranian adults on the barriers to perform regular physical activity
Authors: Fathi Behrouz , Nadrian Haidar , Hashemiparast Mina , Nikookheslat Saeed , Esmaeilzadeh Safooreh , Khodayari-Zarnaq Rahim
Published: December 2021

Background: Despite the intention to perform physical activity (PA), a number of individuals cannot manage to have PA program on a regular basis. In this study we explored the barriers of regular PA behavior among healthy adults in Tabriz, Iran. Methods: This qualitative study with a conventional content analysis approach, was carried out from June to September 2020. Nineteen 30-59 years old individuals, were purposefully (purposive sampling) selected to participate in the study. The participants were formerly registered as "physically inactive" in the health records of Tabriz Health System. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted until data saturation. Data were managed using MAXQDA-10 software. Results: The barriers of regular PA that emerged from our data were being listless and lethargic, non-supportive environment, disintegration in PA education chain, and restrictive social norms. Conclusion: Our findings uncover several PA barriers that are less discussed in the literature. Poor level of regular PA among adults in Iran, as a developing context, is rooted in perceptions with social and economic origins, which should be taken into account by public health policy makers while planning PA promotion programs in such communities. To promote regular PA among healthy adults in developing countries, regular PA programs should be tailored to bridge the gap between their recognition of PA barriers and subsequent behavior change through creating group dynamics highlighting the measures to diminish the behavior.
He hurts her womb: Physical-sexual violence and pregnancy complications among women in Afghanistan
Authors: Rahman Mostafizur , Saha Priom , Anwar Nahida , Hossain Afnan
Published: December 2021

Background: Though some studies show the association between intimate partner violence and pregnancy complications in developed countries, the association remains understudied in less developed and low-income settings. This study examines the association of physical and sexual violence with pregnancy complications among women in Afghanistan. Methods: This study used the data from the 2015 Afghanistan Demographic and Health Survey (AfDHS). The analysis included 7229 women aged between 15 and 49 and used logistic regression to show the association of physical and sexual violence with pregnancy compilations. The analysis controlled for some potential variables and followed complex survey design factors such as strata, clusters, and survey weights. Results: Fully adjusted regression model shows that the women who experienced physical violence were 21% (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=1.21; confidence interval [CI]=0.98, 1.50; P<0.1) more likely to endure pregnancy complications compared to those who did not face the violence. Likewise, the women experiencing sexual violence were 89% (adjusted OR=1.89; CI=1.37, 2.62; P<0.01) higher to face pregnancy complications than those who did not face any of sexual violence. More specifically, physically and sexually violated women were highly prey to the complications that increased with the increment of the violence. Conclusion: This study adds that policymakers may formulate policies for ensuring 3C (caring couple counselling) by readdressing couple relationships, raising gender rights and awareness, providing reproductive health literacy, and increasing mental health awareness during pregnancy.

Küresel bir değer zincirinin canlı bir halkası olmanın zorunluluklarından biri de gelişmiş bir taşımacılık ağına sahip olmak ve etkin lojistik faaliyet yönetimi oluşturmaktır. Bu bağlamda, Dünya’da ülkelerarası ticaretin etkin ve verimli yapılabilmesi için çeşitli ulaştırma koridorları oluşturulmaktadır. Avrasya bölgesinde Doğu ve Batı’yı birbirine bağlayan 3 tane koridor bulunmaktadır. Bunlar Kuzey, Orta ve Güney koridorlarıdır. Türkiye, Batı Çin bölgesinden başlayarak demiryolu ile sırasıyla Kazakistan’dan Hazar Denizi’ni feribot ile geçerek Avrupa’ya bağlanan Orta Koridor üzerinde yer almaktadır. Bakü-Tiflis-Kars Demiryolu hattı söz konusu orta koridorun aşamalarından biridir. Böylece Çin ile Avrupa arasında kesintisiz demiryolu hattı sağlanmıştır. Avrupa birliğinin sürdürülebilir taşıma türlerine yönelik teşvikleri son dönemlerde artmaktadır. Bu bağlamda daha az enerji gerektirmesi ve çevre dostu olması sebebiyle demiryolu taşımacılığı karayolu taşımasına alternatif olarak görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada çok modlu taşımacılığına yönelimin olduğu günümüzde Bakü-Tiflis-Kars demiryolu hattı ile yük taşımacılığında Türkiye üzerinden Avrupa’ya hangi demiryolu hattı ile taşımanın gerçekleştirilmesinin değerlendirilmesi ve hat üzerinde oluşturulacak bir lojistik merkezin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma amaçları doğrultusunda yapılan literatür araştırması ve uzman görüşleri alınarak belirlenen kriterler çerçevesinde, BTK hattı için en uygun demiryolu taşıma hattı Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci (AHP) metodu ile belirlenmiş olup ikinci aşama olarak bu hat üzerinde olması gereken lojistik merkezlerin konumları Ağırlık Merkezi Yöntemi (Coğrafi Koordinatlar Yöntemi) ile belirlenmiştir.

Published: December 2021

INTRODUÇÃO: A gestação é um evento natural, constituído de inúmeras mudanças físicas, psicológicas e sociais. Atrelado à gestação, está um grande problema enfrentado pela saúde pública, a morbimortalidade materna, que embora esteja em crescente queda nos últimos anos, ainda é um agravo considerável. As unidades básicas de saúde são a porta de entrada do SUS, no tocante a prevenção, proteção e promoção da saúde. E dentro desse serviço, temos a assistência ao pré-natal, que busca através do acompanhamento contínuo assegurar um sadio decorrer do ciclo gestacional e proporcionar o nascimento de um bebê saudável. OBJETIVO: apresentar as características das gestantes atendidas em consultas de enfermagem ambulatoriais no período de 2011-2021. METODOLOGIA: O estudo trata-se de um levantamento retrospectivo, que foi realizado através de pesquisa documental. A mesma ocorreu por meio de consulta ao banco de dados do Sistema de Informação do Pré-natal (Sisprenatal), na Secretaria Municipal de Saúde de Umari-ce, no setor de Informática. Foi feita análise das seguintes variáveis número de gestantes cadastradas, faixa etária, raça/cor, classificação de risco, testes rápidos e exames. Posteriormente a coleta dos dados, ocorreu à elaboração das tabelas, contemplando as variáveis da pesquisa. Só após a ciência e concordância da Secretaria Municipal de Umari-Ce, o protocolo do estudo foi submetido à apreciação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa com Seres Humanos da Faculdade Santa, conforme Resolução CNS Nº 466 de 201 com parecer nº 5.110.876 de aprovação. RESULTADOS: A análise das variáveis mostrou deficiências na assistência prestada, principalmente com relação à captação precoce e realização de exames. Considerando a amostra, 65,5% foram cadastradas até a 12ª semana de gestação, 47% foram submetidas a seis ou mais consultas, 34% referiram idade acima de 34 anos, 62% foram classificadas dentro dos parâmetros para alto risco gestacional. Os resultados apontaram ausência no quesito “exames solicitados no terceiro trimestre” para o grupo estudado. CONCLUSÃO: O estudo revela fragilidade na captação precoce das gestantes para início do acompanhamento pré-natal, retratando a presença de alto risco entre a amostra, assim como discrepância entre os componentes solicitação e realização de testes rápidos e exames laboratoriais. PALAVRAS CHAVE: Gravidez; Cuidado pré-natal; Cuidados de enfermagem; Enfermagem Obstétrica; Atenção Primária à Saúde.

القيم والمرجعية القيمية في التعليم الجامعي
Authors: السيد عزمي طه
Published: December 2021

تروم هذه الدراسة العلمية توضيح مفهوم "القيمة" الذي اعتمده الباحث فيها، وبيان أهمية القيم في الحياة الإنسانية، ومعالجة مسألة تصنيف القيم بوجه عام، ثُمَّ عرض التصنيف الذي وضعه الباحث، وأسماه: تصنيف القيم بحسب أقسام الوجود، ثُمَّ أثبتت أنَّ مصدر القيم الإيجابية (الخيِّرة) هو الله سبحانه وتعالى، وكذا الإجابة عن مسألة نسبية القيم ومُطلَقيتها، مُؤكِّدةً ثبات القيم، وتعدُّد أشكال تجسُّدها في الواقع. ثُمَّ انتقلت الدراسة إلى الحديث عن التعليم الجامعي وأهدافه العلمية والاجتماعية والحضارية والأخلاقية، وعالجت موضوع مرجعية التعليم الجامعي، وانتهت إلى أنَّ لمرجعية التعليم الجامعي جانبين: عملي ونظري (فكري)، وأنَّ المرجعية الكلية للجانب العملي هي قيمة القيم (العبادة)، وأنَّ المرجعية الكلية للجانب النظري هي النظرة الكلية للوجود (Existence View) وأنَّ المرجعيتين تتكاملان، وهذا يرجع إلى أنَّ مصدرهما واحد، هو الله سبحانه وتعالى (خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ).

Authors: Zheng Zhiqi , Zhao Hongbo , Liu Peng , He Jin
Published: December 2021

In order to simulate straw cutting process, this paper established a maize straw cutting model with discrete element method (DEM) based on straw cutting experiment. Firstly, maize straw model consisting of several small particles was established by DEM. Then, a straw cutting experiment was conducted and the maximum straw cutting resistance was 199 N for straw with 15 mm diameter. Then, single-factor experiment was conducted to analyze the effect of DEM parameters on straw cutting effect and the max straw cutting resistance Fmax. The normal stiffness between particles and blade (ball-facet-kn) and shear stiffness between particles and blade (ball-facet-ks) were found to be the significant factors affecting Fmax, and the value of the parameters that has no significance was determined. The optimum combination of the significant parameters was 17662 N·m-1 of ball-facet-kn and 52499 N·m-1 of ball-facet-ks. The verification test results showed that the maize straw model was cut off, thus it could simulate the real straw cutting effect, and the relative error of max straw cutting resistance Fmax between the simulation and the experiment was below 9.1%. Thus, it could be concluded that the established maize straw cutting model was accurate and reliable.

THE SEARCH FOR UNIVERSAL PATTERNS – R. BUDON'S CRITICAL VIEW ON THE THEORY OF SOCIAL CHANGE
Authors: СОЛОДОВА Г.С.
Published: December 2021

Попытки выявления универсальных, вневременных законов развития человеческих обществ возобновляются с завидным постоянством. Однако построение прогностических моделей будущего наталкивается на множество ограничительных условий, исключений, ссылок на локальность применения. В статье предложен обзор идей, связанных с социальными изменениями. Центральное место заняла работа Р. Будона «Место беспорядка. Критика теорий социального изменения», к сожалению, не нашедшая достаточного отклика среди отечественных исследователей.
