This research aimed to analyze the contributions of Primary Health Care (PHC) to the promotion of equity in the Brazilian public health system. It was characterized as exploratory and qualitative, using in-depth interviews with 20 PHC professionals, selected by convenience. Data collection was carried out through recordings of the interviews, and the analysis was conducted using the discourse analysis technique. The results revealed that, despite the advances, PHC faces significant challenges, such as scarcity of resources, work overload, and regional inequalities in access to health, which compromise the quality of care. However, PHC's proximity to the community and focus on prevention were highlighted as important strategies to promote equity. The professionals emphasized the importance of articulation between the different levels of care, the appreciation of professionals and the implementation of appropriate public policies. It is concluded that, for PHC to play its role effectively, it is necessary to invest in material and human resources, continuous training of professionals and robust public policies, in addition to strengthening inter-institutional articulation and action focused on the needs of vulnerable populations.

Published: December 2024

Hemoglobin levels are a parameter that measures respiratory pigment in red blood cells. A decrease in hemoglobin levels can lead to anemia. Factors contributing to hemoglobin levels include inadequate nutrient intake, particularly iron and protein, as well as the effect of inhibitors on iron absorption such as calcium. This study aims to assess the intake of energy, protein, iron, and calcium in relation to hemoglobin levels among pregnant women. This research employs a Cross-Sectional study design. The sample consisted of 55 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Data collection on energy, protein, iron, and calcium intake was done using the SQ-FFQ questionnaire, while hemoglobin levels were measured using an Hb meter (EasyTouch GCHb), and data were analyzed using Spearman’s Rank Correlation test. The results showed that pregnant women had adequate energy intake (41.8%), excess protein intake (40%), adequate iron intake (89.1%), and adequate calcium intake (80%). Abnormal hemoglobin levels were observed in the third trimester of pregnancy (16.3%), whereas normal hemoglobin levels were found in the second trimester (34.5%). Statistical tests revealed no significant relationship between energy intake (p = 0.223), protein (p = 0.201), iron (p = 0.327), and calcium (p = 0.641) with hemoglobin levels. The conclusion of this study is that there is no significant relationship between energy, protein, iron, and calcium intake and hemoglobin levels among pregnant women in Parung Panjang District, Bogor Regency. Pregnant women should regularly consume calcium supplements and iron tablets to meet their iron and calcium needs, which can help prevent anemia.

Published: December 2024

Local foods in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province are highly diverse, yet they remain underutilized for promoting health. Sorghum and anchovies, abundant in this region, present alternative sources for enhancing local nutrition, especially for toddler snacks. This study aimed to develop biscuits using local ingredients (sorghum and anchovies) as a potential snack for toddlers. The research employed an experimental design with a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of four treatment levels: P0 (0% sorghum flour: 0% anchovy flour), P1 (30% sorghum flour: 10% anchovy flour), P2 (20% sorghum flour: 15% anchovy flour), and P3 (10% sorghum flour: 20% anchovy flour). The study occurred from January to May 2024 at the Nutrition Laboratory of Poltekkes Kemenkes Kupang. The results showed that the panellists’ preference for biscuit colour ranged from 3.82 to 4.04 (like), with P3 being the most preferred (4.04). The aroma scores ranged from 3.4 to 3.48 (somewhat like), with P2 receiving the highest score (3.48). Texture preference ranged from 3.9 to 4.1 (like), with P1 being the most preferred (4.1). Taste preferences ranged from 3.5 to 3.76 (like), with P3 scoring highest (3.76). In conclusion, biscuits with 20% sorghum flour and 10% anchovy flour (P3) were the most favoured overall, containing 1,111.6 Kcal of energy, 41.75 g of protein, 50.74 g of fat, and 123.51 g of carbohydrates. These findings suggest that locally sourced ingredients can be effectively used to create nutritious and appealing snacks for toddlers.

Antimicrobial Policy in Indonesia within the One Health Context: Literature Analysis and Implementation Challenges
Authors: Puji Lestari  , Puput Oktamianti
Published: December 2024

Background: Antimicrobials such as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics are vital for treating infections in humans, animals, and plants. Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms become resistant to these drugs, posing a serious global threat. In Indonesia, high rates of infectious diseases increase the risks associated with AMR, highlighting the need for effective control measures. This study reviews research on efforts to control antimicrobial resistance in Indonesia within the One Health context, analyze related policies, and identifies key implementation challenges to provide recommendations for improvement.
Method: A literature review was conducted, identifying 1,029 articles from databases including EBSCOHost, ProQuest, PubMed, and Google Scholar. After screening and applying inclusion criteria, 14 relevant articles were selected for analysis to evaluate policies related to AMR in Indonesia and their alignment with the One Health approach.
Result: The findings showed that the increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Indonesia is mainly due to the misuse of antimicrobial drugs in different areas. While there are policies in place, putting them into practice has proven difficult, especially in the health sector, which faces more challenges than the livestock and environmental sectors. These results highlight the need for better coordination and alignment of policies across all sectors.
Conclusion: Although current AMR policies in Indonesia incorporate the One Health approach, significant challenges remain, including limited resources, insufficient guidelines, and weak coordination among sectors. Strengthening collaboration between health, agriculture, and environmental sectors and improving monitoring systems is essential for effective AMR control in Indonesia.

Published: December 2024

Background: Adolescence is a critical stage requiring adequate nutrition for long-term health. Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to iron deficiency, which increases the risk of anemia and stunting. Enhancing adolescent girls' knowledge of nutrition through health education, which can be delivered using tools such as flipcharts, can prevent and address stunting.
Method: This quasi-experimental study involved 541 adolescent girls aged 12–18 years, with a purposive sample of 91 participants divided into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group received flip chart-based education, while the control group did not. The study was conducted in Kalurahan Triharjo and Pandowoharjo, Sleman, DI Yogyakarta. Data were collected using validated pre- and post-intervention questionnaires and analyzed with Wilcoxon and paired t-tests.
Result: The intervention group showed significant improvements in knowledge and attitudes about nutrition. Knowledge scores increased from 14.42 ± 2.388 at pretest to 19.36 ± 0.883 at posttest (mean difference: 4.94, p = 0.001). Attitude scores rose from 59.04 ± 8.512 to 75.31 ± 2.410 (mean difference: 16.27, p = 0.001). In the control group, smaller increases were observed for both knowledge (mean difference: 0.73, p = 0.001) and attitudes (mean difference: 4.13, p = 0.036).
Conclusion: Flip chart-based education effectively improves adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes about nutrition for stunting prevention. However, external exposure to nutrition information in the control group was a limitation. Future research should minimize such exposure by limiting information to basic content for control groups.

Molecular characterization of Bacillus subtilis OKR isolated from wheat rhizosphere reveals key outer membrane proteins associated with plant growth promotion: A step towards climate-smart agriculture
Authors: Ibrahim Muhammad , Hussain Annam
Published: December 2024

Bacillus subtilis, is reported to be an efficient bacterium and a universal cell factory for industry, medicine and biomaterials. It also possesses plant growth promotional activities. In the current study, we aimed to identify and characterize wheat rhizosphere B. subtilis at molecular level such as by 16S RNA gene, in vitro screening, and outer membrane proteins using host mimic simulation by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Based on 16S RNA gene results, the isolate OKR was identified as B. subtilis and clustered with Bacillus subtilis strain QD517 and B. subtilis strain LQ20. The isolate assigned the name as B. subtilis strain OKR under accession no. KP201140.1. In vitro screening of OKR for growth proportional and biocontrol activities has revealed it as an effective type of plant growth rhizobacterium. Furthermore, the outer membrane protein analysis not only substantiated the attributes of B. subtilis strain OKR as PGPR, but also revealed that leaf extract (LE) media could be used as an alternative in vivo model for plants to characterize plant promotional activities at molecular level. Each condition was found to correspond to a unique protein expression profile due to the significant protein’s expression diversity observed between the control and the simulated host condition. Two-component response regulators and heat shock proteins are key proteins identified under host-mimicking conditions that appear to be indispensable for plant growth-promoting activities. Furthermore, the identification of common proteins such as Na+/H+ antiporters and ABC transporter-like proteins holds a promise for survival and metabolic activity in each niche. We believe that our findings will contribute to the development of environment-friendly, sustainable, and climate-smart agricultural technology strategies that can succeed under limited environmental conditions.

As the ocean has warmed, in recent decades marine heatwaves (MHWs) have emerged as a major threat to marine ecosystems and ecosystem services, presenting challenges for management of marine fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, and conservation, including for marine protected areas (MPAs). An MHW is a period of unusually high ocean temperatures, often defined as ocean temperatures that are warmer than 90% of the previous observations for a given time of year. MHWs along Australia’s coastal regions have led to mass coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef, damage to kelp forests and seagrass meadows in Western Australia, shifts in species, and fish and invertebrate mortality, all creating pressures on fisheries management (as reviewed in Smith et al., 2023). Understanding how climate change influences ocean extremes and impacts societal and natural values is key for evaluating future risks. Growing concerns around the effects of MHWs on marine industries, food security, ecosystem dynamics, and conservation efforts led to the development of MHW response plans for Tasmania and New South Wales during the summer of 2023/24 (Hobday et al., 2024).

Properties of moral distress experienced by Canadian intensive care unit nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic: An interpretive descriptive study
Authors: Gehrke Paige , Campbell Karen , Tsang Jennifer , Hannon Ruth , Jack Susan
Published: December 2024

Background & Purpose: In response to the multitude of ethical issues that arise in the delivery of care provided in intensive care units (ICUs), nurses working in this setting frequently experience moral distress. The properties of moral distress have been well defined. However, within the context of the coronavirus-disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, less is known about the properties of moral distress experienced by ICU nurses. This subsequently affects the advancement of our knowledge, specifically of effective mitigative interventions for moral distress. The purpose of this analysis is to describe the key properties of moral distress experienced by ICU nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods & Procedures: Guided by interpretive descriptive design, a purposeful sample of 40 Canadian ICU nurses described their experiences of moral distress within the context of their practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data generated included the administration of a demographic questionnaire and the Measure of Moral Distress – Healthcare Providers survey, and 1:1 semi-structured virtual (telephone or videoconference) interviews (May – September 2021). Analysis was informed by the tenents of reflexive thematic analysis and rapid qualitative analysis.

Results: Nurses experienced moral distress under the complex interplay of two overarching, broad conditions: (1) when nurses’ voices, driven by efforts to optimize patient care at an exceptionally high standard, were not heard; and (2) when patients received substandard levels of care, that was not patient-centered, pain free, or that did not align with organizational, professional, or personal standards. These two broad conditions were influenced by three sub-conditions: (1) lack of respect for nurses’ expert knowledge; (2) cultures and systems of communication and (3) responses to safety and staffing.

Discussion: Moral distress experienced by Canadian ICU nurses is a complex phenomenon. These findings advance and refine our knowledge of key components of moral distress. We identified the conditions that generate moral distress for nurses, and the properties of the antecedent moral events. Future approaches to mitigate moral distress need to address the broad conditions under which moral distress occurs.

A observabilidade em ambientes de Computação em Névoa tem grande importância para a manutenção dos SLAs acordados com os usuários dos serviços. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar estratégias para reduzir o overhead causado pelo uso de ferramentas que proporcionem um aumento da observabilidade na plataforma. Utilizando o cenário prático do Mobile IoT-RoadBot, um aplicativo de cidade inteligente, avaliamos o overhead de se aumentar a observabilidade em um ambiente de teste composto por dispositivos IoT e um nó de Névoa, empregando ferramentas de código aberto como Prometheus e a pilha ELK para gerenciar métricas, logs e traces. A análise do overhead revelou que, embora o impacto nos dispositivos IoT seja mínimo, nos nós de Névoa o uso de CPU e memória é significativamente maior, ressaltando a necessidade de estratégias eficazes para reduzir o volume de dados e otimizar a configuração das ferramentas. Os resultados alcançados representaram uma diminuição de 80% no volume total de dados de observabilidade armazenados no nó de Névoa, sem que houvesse diminuição do nível de observabilidade. O acréscimo causado pelo aumento da observabilidade no volume de dados gerenciado pela Mobile IoT Roadbot foi menor que 1%.

Para reduzir a abstração de conceitos de lógica de programação nos primeiros semestres de cursos da área de computação, a família de processadores BIP e o ambiente de desenvolvimento integrado Bipide foram desenvolvidos. As versões iniciais dos processadores da família BIP, suportados pela ferramenta Bipide, apresentavam algumas limitações, não suportando chamadas de procedimentos e a interação com o usuário por meio de operações de entrada e saída, o que impedia sua adoção na solução de problemas mais complexos ou que necessitassem de alguma interação com o aluno. Neste contexto, este trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento do processador BIP IV, que estende as características dos processadores BIP, agregando novas funcionalidades e aumentando a abrangência de sua utilização. Também foram implementadas modificações na IDE Bipide a fim de suportar o uso do processador BIP IV. Com isso, aumenta-se a interação do aluno com a ferramenta e seu potencial de utilização na resolução de problemas mais complexos.

A realidade aumentada (RA) possui um potencial significativo para transformar a educação ao criar experiências de aprendizado imersivas e interativas. Este projeto investiga como a RA pode ser empregada para promover a inclusão na educação, com ênfase na acessibilidade. O desenvolvimento envolveu a pesquisa teórica sobre acessibilidade e RA, a seleção de tecnologias como os óculos Meta Quest 2 e o software Unity3D, e a criação de funcionalidades adaptativas como "Speech to Text" e "Sound Direction". Os testes com usuários e feedbacks de especialistas indicaram que a RA pode melhorar consideravelmente o engajamento e a compreensão de alunos com deficiência, particularmente no ambiente escolar. Os resultados destacam a importância do design universal na criação de experiências educacionais de RA e sugerem que futuras pesquisas devem se concentrar na integração de tecnologias assistivas para potencializar o impacto educacional. O trabalho proporciona uma base sólida para o desenvolvimento contínuo de práticas pedagógicas que visam uma educação mais equitativa e acessível, reforçando o papel transformador da tecnologia na promoção de uma educação inclusiva.
