Introdução: O Programa Nacional de Imunizações (PNI), criado em 1973, coordena o processo de imunização na população e o torna mais eficaz. O PNI oferece todas as vacinas recomendadas pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, bem como campanhas de vacinação e imunobiológicos especiais, seguindo os calendários vacinais para os grupos populacionais. A Atenção Primária à Saúde é fundamental para o alcance de uma cobertura vacinal efetiva, mas enfrenta problemas como a falta de acesso à internet e desabastecimento de imunizantes, que dificultam o registro de dados e a ampliação da cobertura vacinal. Objetivo: analisar os indicadores de Cobertura Vacinal e Taxa de Abandono nas capitais do Nordeste nos últimos cinco anos. Metodologia: Estudo epidemiológico, quantitativo e descritivo. As nove capitais do Nordeste do Brasil foram selecionadas para o estudo. A temática abordada é a Taxa de Abandono Vacinal (TAV) e a Cobertura Vacinal (CV) nos últimos cinco anos nas capitais. Os dados foram coletados através da plataforma DATASUS e armazenados no Microsoft Excel. Resultados: Fortaleza teve a CV mais alta com 74,87%, com a sua maior cobertura em 2018 com 94,60%. Maceió teve a segunda maior CV, com 66,12%, com uma diminuição em 2021 para 62,14%. Conclusões: Verificou-se que Fortaleza teve a maior CV e Salvador teve a maior TAV. Algumas capitais tiveram redução na CV e aumento na TAV no período pandêmico, indicando a necessidade de mais pesquisas sobre o impacto da Covid-19 e a circulação de informações equivocadas sobre vacinação. Logo, a atuação da atenção primária à saúde é crucial para reverter essa tendência, trabalhando na implementação de campanhas de imunização e na educação em saúde.

Background:

The southern green stink bug (SGSB), Nezara viridula, is a potentially harmful pod sucker insect found in soybean.

Objective:

The objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance level of several soybean advanced breeding lines against the southern green stink bug N. viridula under the free-choice and no-choice tests.

Methods:

The research materials were 14 advanced breeding lines and four check cultivars. The experiment was conducted in Malang, East Java, Indonesia, during the dry season I and II 2022. The resistance evaluation of the soybean genotypes against the N. viridula was under the Free-Choice test (FC) and the No-Choice test (NC). The newly emerged adults N. viridula were infested when plants reached the R5 stage. The data were observed for damage intensity, yield and yield components.

Results:

The intensity of pod damage in the FC ranged from 20.09 to 46.40%, meanwhile, in the NC was 25.63 to 67.63%. This shows that the NC condition provides more selection pressure than the FC. Each genotype exhibited different resistance reactions in the FC and NC. The pod damage intensity had a significant negative correlation with seed yield both in the FC and NC.

Conclusion:

The No-Choice test (NC) provided a higher selection pressure for resistance to SGSB than the Free-Choice test (NC). The use of SGSB-resistant cultivars will prevent soybean seed yield losses. A new finding in this study, two soybean genotypes Anj/Rjbs-305 and Anj/Rjbs-306 were resistant to SGSB. Both genotypes exhibit good agronomic performance (high yield and large seed size), thus can be proposed as new soybean varieties to be developed in the country.

Published: December 2023

The incorporation of semantics and the necessary interoperability within
these aspects is essential for the domain's proper operation as well as execution.
Healthcare systems have become an ideal arena of IoT because they tackle the
problems of humanity, especially of an older population whilst providing secure and
high-quality home care and support. The use of IoT technologies in healthcare will
improve the quality of human life, chronic illness monitoring, hazard detection, and
life-saving measures. To get more useful information from biomedical big data, it must
have interoperability. In the latest times, an increasing count of organizations and
businesses have expressed interest in combining semantic web technologies alongside
healthcare big data to transform data into knowledge and understanding. Even though
we can see a systematic acceptance of semantic technologies-based applications in the
IoT domain and across the Internet, the cumulative actual implementations are
insufficient to provide real-world rooted standards and guidelines to follow. This sets
the stage for this work, which attempts to describe current developments in the
application of semantic technologies in the IoT domain. This motivates the authors to
examine and highlight some of the developing developments in semantic technology,
its effects in the IoT area, and how they are together seen in the health-care. Over the
last several times, there has been a lot of emphasis on using SWT to enhance the uptake
of sensor networks, IoT, and WoT. Indeed, to tackle semantic interoperability and other
issues in health care domains, there is a need to comprehend its means of construction.
A Monitoring System for the Recognition of Sleeping Disorders in Patients with Cognitive Impairment
Authors: Dev Priya , Pathak Abhishek
Published: December 2023

Sleep is one of the most important biological processes acknowledged as a
vital determinant of human performance and health. Sleep has been acknowledged to
promote healing, restore energy, improve the immune system through interactions, and
affect human behaviour and brain functions. To this end, even the transient alteration of
sleeping patterns, including severe sleep deprivation, can impair one's cognitive
performance and judgment, even as prolonged aberrations have been associated with
the development of disease. The existing global sleep trends indicate a decrement in
average sleep durations. Owing to such trends and the various implications of sleep on
human well-being and health, enhanced characterisation of the sleep attributes indicates
a public health priority.

Further, the advancement and use of multi-modal sensors with technologies to monitor
physical activity, sleep, and circadian rhythms have increased dramatically in recent
years. For the first time, accurate sleep monitoring on a large scale is now possible.
However, there is a need to overcome several significant challenges to realise the full
potential of these technologies for individuals, medicine, and research. In this chapter,
a review of the present levels of the sleep-monitoring technologies in patients with
cognitive impairments, in addition to assessing the difficulties and potentials lying
ahead, from data gathering through the ultimate execution of findings within the
consumer and clinical contexts.. Further, the chapter will review the advantages and
disadvantages of the extant and novel sensing technologies, focusing on new data driven technologies that include Artificial Intelligence.
Stage of Retinopathy of Prematurity Using CNN and Object Segmentation Technique
Authors: K. Jothimani
Published: December 2023

Premature adolescents with Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), a
fibrovascular proliferative condition, have difficulties with the maturing peripheral
retinal vasculature. Early identification of ROP is achievable in stages 1 and 2,
distinguished by a demarcation line and ridge that divides the peripheral retina from the
vascularized retina. Because newborn retinal images have poor contrast, it is difficult to
distinguish demarcation lines or ridges. This study used segmentation and
convolutional neural networks to detect ridges, which are crucial landmarks in the
diagnosis of ROP. Our contribution is implementing Mask R-CNN for identifying
boundary line/ridge recognition, which enables doctors to identify ROP stage 2 more
accurately. To combat poor image quality, the suggested approach uses a pre-processing stage of image augmentation. In this study, the utility of the Convolutional
Neural Network was examined to localize ridges in labeled neonatal photos. The
KIDROP study and a dataset comprising 220 photos of 45 infants were used. Using the
segmentation of the ridge region as the ground truth, 175 retinal images were used to
train the system. The system's detection accuracy was 0.94, with 45 images under test,
proving that data augmentation detection in conjunction with image normalizing pre-processing allows accurate identification of the ROP in its early stages.

Authors: Ahmed Saima , Maheu Christine , Gotlieb Walter H , Batist Gerald , Loiselle Carmen G
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Individuals on oral anticancer agents (OAAs) often face important challenges requiring timely informational support, monitoring, and medication management.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability and potential effects of a comprehensive digital OAA intervention.

METHODS

A 2-arm, mixed-method pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) is taking place at a large university-affiliated cancer centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Participants (N=52) complete baseline online self-report e-questionnaires, then are randomized to the experimental group (intervention plus usual care, n = 26) or control group (usual care only, n = 26). The study intervention includes: 1) OAA informational videos, 2) OAA-related eHandouts and other supportive resources, 3) nurse-led phone call follow-ups, and 4) e-reminders to take OAAs. Study e-questionnaires are completed once a week for the first month, and every two weeks for subsequent four months, or until OAA treatment is completed. A subset (n = 20) will participate in semi-structured interviews once they complete the study requirements. Study feasibility is assessed using recruitment, retention, and response rates, as well as intervention uptake. Through e-questionnaires and exit interviews, intervention acceptability is assessed prospectively at baseline and retrospectively upon study completion. Potential effects will be assessed via medication adherence self-efficacy, medication adherence self-report, and symptom distress.

RESULTS

Data collection will be complete December 2023. Results are expected in early 2024.

CONCLUSIONS

This study relies on a theory-based multimodal OAA digital intervention that is tailored to the needs of participants. Using both quantitative and qualitative data collection approaches enhances insights into study purpose. Following participants over the course of treatment captures potential changes in processes and outcomes.

Authors: yang hao , wang Ruihan , wang changyu , guo hui , cai hanlin , zhang fengying , liu jialin , liu siru
Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) serves as a precursor to dementia, posing a significant public health challenge given the increasing global aging population. The imperative for early detection, with over 55 million individuals affected by dementia worldwide, necessitates efficient screening methods due to the resource-intensive nature of common tools.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of GPT-4 in screening for MCI in the elderly, comparing its performance with that of junior neurologists.

METHODS

An exploratory design was employed, involving 174 participants. GPT-4, trained using a set of language analysis indicators, evaluated MCI severity in participants' test texts (GPT-4 does not support voice assessment). Three junior neurologists independently assessed both text and voice components of the test corpus.

RESULTS

GPT-4 demonstrated a higher accuracy of 0.81, surpassing the neurologists' range of 0.41 to 0.49. Statistical analysis revealed significant discrimination of MCI by GPT-4 (p < 0.001). The study derived a clinical risk assessment nomogram from GPT-4's top ten weighted features, enhancing MCI patient evaluation.

CONCLUSIONS

The GPT-4 model exhibits promise as a diagnostic tool for MCI, potentially enhancing patient outcomes and alleviating healthcare burdens. Nevertheless, further investigation and clinical validation are essential to ascertain its practical applicability in real-world scenarios.

How Can Rice Farmers Gain Profit? An Analysis of Sharecropping Practice among Farmers, Landowners, and Laborers in Sukadiri Subdistrict of Tangerang
Authors: Haryanto Lorenta In , Kurniaji Aprilia Zirli
Published: December 2023

The production of rice as one of the main staple foods in Indonesia has been affected by changes in land-use that has led to a shift in land ownership. It is necessary to discuss whether the profit-sharing applied among farmers, landowners, and laborers provides benefits for farmers. This study aims to determine the characteristics, income, and efficiency of lowland rice farming with both a 50:50 crop sharing between farmers and landowners, and an 80:20 crop sharing between farmers and laborers. This study is based on survey and interviews on the sharecropping practice among rice farming community in the dry season (April – September) tahun 2022 in Sukadiri Subdistrict of Tangerang. Farming parameters are explained descriptively, and the farm efficiency is determined by the revenue-cost (R/C) ratio. A total sample of 44 farmers was determined purposively and proportionately. The findings demonstrated that rice farming gained a total income on the explicit cost of IDR7.311.519 per hectare. The R/C ratio of explicit cost for the sharecropping system is 4,76. Suppose the sharecropping system is replaced with a rent cash payment, the R/C ratio for total cost is 0,83 which results in a loss. This study concludes that the combination of 50:50 crop sharing with the landowner and 80:20 crop sharing with double-tapping laborers is beneficial for the existence of rice farming.

Authors: Jiang Chen , Jiang Ming , Wang Xi
Published: December 2023

With the population gathering in urban centers, the spatial distribution of preschool education resources is becoming increasingly important. Families want their children to receive education at the kindergartens located near their homes. Public kindergartens and inclusive private kindergartens recognized by districts (cities) and counties are important components of the public preschool education system. In 2012, the State Council published the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan for the National Basic Public Service System", which first clarified the concept definition of basic public services, that is, services provided by the government based on social consensus, in line with the level of social and economic development, and aimed at meeting the survival and development needs of all citizens. Therefore, it can be judged that preschool education is an important basic public service. To solve the current problem of unreasonable spatial distribution of preschool education resources, Chengdu has proposed the goal of building a "15-minute preschool education service circle", by rational planning and layout, to increase the coverage and utilization rate of preschool education resources, and meet the needs of families for preschool education. This study, through analyzing the new trends of population mobility in various districts (cities) and counties in Chengdu and the allocation of preschool education resources, found that the coverage rate of inclusive kindergartens in Chengdu has reached more than 85%, and the proportion of children in public kindergartens has basically reached 50%.

Authors: Ilyasov R. Kh. , Plotnikov V. A.
Published: December 2023

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals formulated by the UN is one of the priorities of modern economic policy. At the same time, its implementation should take into account the macro-regional specifics. Without this kind of accounting, due to the emerging imbalances, it will not be possible to ensure the sustainability of development. One of the components of sustainable development is the decarbonization of the economy. The purpose of the study: macro-regional analysis of the mutual impact of energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions and economic growth trends. At a time when ensuring sustainable economic growth is an important task of economic policy, improving energy efficiency turns out to be a key factor in reducing carbon emissions. Research methods: dynamics analysis, structure analysis, methods of comparative analysis and generalization. The article studies the dynamics of changes in the carbon intensity of GDP on the example of two countries with the largest economies — the United States and China. The analysis showed that macro-regions with a high level of technological development manage to reduce carbon dioxide emissions more intensively, while ensuring economic growth.

The Schiff base compound, benzyl hydrogen-4-(dimethylamino) benzylidene hydroxycarbon hydrazodithiate(BHDBHH), was investigated under continuous wave laser beam irradiation (30 mW), and its chemical properties were analyzed. The material's chemical properties were found to be affected during laser processing. We examined the chemical properties of the Schiff base using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) Spectroscopy. By varying the exposure time, we discovered that longer exposure times resulted in a darker colouration of the compound, even at a low power of 30 mW. This finding led us to conclude that the compound is highly sensitive to laser exposure and can be easily diffused with a more powerful laser. The EDX test revealed a significant reduction in the sulfur element, with more than 50% of it being burned during the exposure.

Published: December 2023

Introducción: para observar la función de la unión esofagogástrica (UEG) se utilizan dos parámetros de la manometría esofágica de alta resolución: la morfología anatómica de la UEG y el vigor contráctil, el cual se evalúa con la integral de contractilidad distal de la unión esofagogástrica (IC-UEG). Hasta el momento, no se ha evaluado cómo se comportan estos parámetros en los diferentes fenotipos de enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico (ERGE).
Metodología: estudio observacional analítico en el que se evaluaron pacientes con ERGE confirmado por pH-impedanciometría y endoscopia, llevados a manometría esofágica de alta resolución. Se evaluó la morfología anatómica de la UEG y la IC-UEG, y se comparó entre los diferentes fenotipos de reflujo: ácido, no ácido, erosivo y no erosivo.
Resultados: se incluyó a 72 pacientes (63% mujeres, edad media: 54,9 años), 81,9% con reflujo ácido y 25% con esofagitis erosiva. En este último grupo se encontró una disminución de la IC-UEG (mediana: 15,1 frente a 23, p = 0,04) y una mayor proporción de pacientes con UEG tipo IIIa y IIIb (83,3% frente a 37,1%, p < 0,01). No se encontraron diferencias significativas en los parámetros manométricos de los pacientes con y sin reflujo ácido y no ácido.
Conclusión: en nuestra población, la IC-UEG estuvo significativamente disminuida en los pacientes con ERGE erosivo, lo que sugiere que podría ser utilizada como un predictor de esta condición en pacientes con ERGE. Este hallazgo también se relaciona con mayor proporción de UGE tipo III y menor presión al final de la inspiración del esfínter esofágico inferior en este tipo de reflujo.

Published: December 2023

Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar, à luz da Pedagogia Histórico-crítica (PHC), a Educação Ambiental (EA) no Currículo de Referência de Mato Grosso do Sul (CRMS). De modo mais específico, investigamos onde e como ela se insere, principalmente sua relação com os conteúdos curriculares. Tendo como referencial teórico e metodológico o Materialismo Histórico e Dialético desenvolvemos um estudo exploratório cuja busca de informações foi realizada no citado currículo. As análises foram realizadas por meio de uma “categoria síntese”, a relação conteúdo-forma, com a qual foi possível partir empiricamente para, a partir das abstrações, compreender criticamente a EA no CRMS. Entre os resultados, entendemos que a dissociação entre conteúdo-forma encontrada no currículo implica a possibilidade de incompreensão, por alunos e professores, da crise socioambiental enquanto síntese de múltiplas determinações que têm origem no modo capitalista de produção. Em virtude disso, abre-se espaço para uma compreensão da EA enquanto Educação para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável (EDS), expressão da ideologia neoliberal, do ambientalismo de resultados, do pragmatismo contemporâneo e do ecologismo de mercado.

Advantages of Friction Welding of Fittings with Small Diameter Conical Contact Form
Authors: Poletaev Yu. V. , Shchepkin V. V.
Published: December 2023

Introduction. As numerous production tests show, the use of manual arc welding (MAW) of thick-walled fittings of small diameter (up to 80 mm) does not provide a high-quality weld joint that meets the requirements of regulatory and technical documents of nuclear power plants (NPP). The solution to this problem is possible on the basis of research and development of welding technology with optimal heat input instead of MAW. Existing fusion welding technologies do not allow for optimal regulated heat input. However, this can be realized during the development and further use of the friction welding (FW) method. Therefore, this work aimed at developing a technology based on an automated technique of friction welding, which could provide the enhancing of the quality of weld joints of small diameter fittings of power equipment to the level of regulatory requirements.

Materials and Methods. Small diameter fittings with a conical contact surface made of low-alloy steel 10GN2MFA were used. The experimental study was performed on a friction welding machine MST–41. Methods of non-destructive and destructive quality control were used in accordance with the regulatory and technical documentation of nuclear power engineering.

Results. A methodology was developed, and the optimal dimensions of the conical contacting surface under welding were determined. It was shown that optimal heat input during friction welding was achieved by preparing a conical contacting surface in the angle range α = 30º–40º.  The methodology and parameters of the friction welding mode for models of small diameter fittings were experimentally tested. In the course of the research, a cyclogram of the friction welding process was obtained and described, which confirmed the stage-by-stage formation of the weld joint due to the sequential inclusion of annular sections of the conical surface of the connected parts in the heating stage. The results of non-destructive and destructive testing were obtained, confirming the presence of a high-quality weld joint at the level of the requirements of the regulatory and technical documents of the NPP.

Discussion and Conclusion. The obtained research results can be used to develop the technology of friction welding of pipes, as well as products made of carbon and low-alloy steels.

Published: December 2023

La otitis externa “crónica” canina es aquella que perdura por más de un mes, y es “recurrente” cuando ocurre más de un episodio en el transcurso de un año. Es una afección multifactorial con una fisiopatología compleja y de difícil resolución. Para el tratamiento médico es fundamental la reducción del proceso inflamatorio, el manejo del dolor y la selección racional del antimicrobiano más adecuado para minimizar los fenómenos de resistencia. Es imprescindible conocer las diferentes opciones terapéuticas que permitan reducir el daño provocado por las bacterias o levaduras, que perpetúan las otitis crónicas en los caninos, y luego abocarse al tratamiento de la enfermedad primaria. Actualmente existe un creciente progreso en la investigación de nuevas alternativas terapéuticas al uso de los antimicrobianos. Entre ellas podemos citar el uso de aceites esenciales, productos naturales como la miel y sus derivados, investigación de coadyuvantes como N-acetilcisteína o EDTA, vacunas, nano-formulaciones y el estudio de nuevos péptidos. En esta revisión se analizan las diferentes alternativas terapéuticas para el manejo exitoso de las otitis crónicas y recurrentes. Las mismas pueden mejorar la calidad de vida y el bienestar del paciente, maximizar la eficacia del tratamiento y minimizar la aparición de fenómenos de resistencia antimicrobiana que afectan la salud animal, al hombre y al entorno.

We examine the role of the North Aceh Government in implementing the Law on the Governing of Aceh (LoGA) as a legal structure in development policy. As a symbol of peace, the LoGA is a reference for accelerating development to alleviate poverty, including North Aceh as a conflict region. However, until now, the area remains the poorest in the province of Aceh. This research used descriptive qualitative methods, evaluating the local government’s performance as policymakers based on the Law by reconstructing policy theory (Easton) and legal system (Friedman). Our findings indicated that the local government needed help implementing LoGA to form development policies to solve poverty. This research suggested the importance of providing legal certainty in the distribution of authority, capacity building, and strengthening of political will for local government conducting its role.

The coconut industry has deep historical and economic importance in Sri Lanka, but coconut palms are vulnerable to water stress exacerbated by environmental challenges. This study explored using Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) in major coconut-growing soils in Sri Lanka to improve resilience to water stress. The study was conducted at the Coconut Research Institute of Sri Lanka to evaluate the growth of Sunn hemp in prominent coconut soils—gravel, loamy, and sandy—to determine its cover crop potential. Sunn hemp was planted in pots with the three soil types, arranged in a randomized, complete design with 48 replicates. Growth parameters like plant height, shoot/root dry weight, root length, and leaf area were measured at 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after planting. Soil type significantly impacted all growth parameters. After 8 weeks, sandy soil showed the highest plant height and root length, while loamy soil showed the highest shoot/root dry weight and leaf area, followed by sandy and gravel soils. Nitrogen content at 6 and 8 weeks was highest in loamy soil plants. In summary, Sunn hemp produces more biomass in sandy soils, while loamy soils promote greater nutrient accumulation and growth. This suggests the suitability of Sunn hemp as a cover crop across major coconut-growing soils in Sri Lanka, improving resilience.
Pulmonic stenosis caused by single coronary artery in dogs: Four cases (1965-1984)
Authors: Buchanan James W.
Published: December 2023

Single right coronary artery (ca) associated with pulmonic stenosis was found in 3 English Bulldogs and a Boxer, suggesting a genetic predisposition for the associated anomalies. The left main coronary branch arose from the single right ca, encircled the pulmonic root over hypoplastic pulmonic valves at the level of the obstruction, and appeared to be the primary cause of underlying pulmonic stenosis. Patchgraft surgery to relieve pulmonic stenosis caused death in 1 dog when the unrecognized anomalous ca was severed during the procedure. The anomalous left ca was detectable by use of angiocardiography in all 4 dogs and was recognized before surgery in 2 of them. In 1 dog, a right ventricle-to-pulmonary trunk-bridging conduit was implanted to improve outflow from the right side of the heart.

Published: December 2023

The importance of accurate quantitative blood biochemical analysis for the diagnosis and management of disease is recognized by most veterinarians. In recent years, several biochemical analyzers have become available for the veterinary market. One of these analyzers was evaluated for its suitability in measuring several biochemical variables—alkaline phosphatase, urea nitrogen, creatinine, glucose, alanine transaminase (dog and cat only), and aspartate transaminase (horse only)—in dogs, cats, and horses. Instrument within-day precision ranged from 1.0 to 7.1%, and between-day precision ranged from 1.6 to 7.4%. During the 6-month period of the study, the analyzer required recalibration for only 1 analyte (creatinine).

Concentrations of individual analytes were similar when blood (collected in anticoagulant), plasma, and serum were assayed in parallel. The accuracy of the analyzer, as measured by correlation to a reference method, ranged from 0.861 for creatinine in horses to > 0.950 for each of the other analytes in the 3 species. Mean values for each analyte were similar, except for alkaline phosphatase, which had consistently lower values by use of the analyzer method. A data base was established for reference values in each species.
