Published: March 2023

Yaşamın vazgeçilmez bir parçası olan beslenme doğumdan başlayıp ölünceye kadar devam eden bir ihtiyaçtır. Birçok faktörün de etki ettiği beslenmede insanların duygusal durumları önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Son zamanlarda duygu haline göre besin tüketimindeki bu değişimlerin fark edilmesi ve bunlarla başa çıkılabilmesi için yeme davranışları üzerinde durulmaktadır. Sezgisel yemekte insanların kendi ihtiyaçlarını öğrenip duygusal açlık yerine fiziksel açlığa odaklanması hedeflenmektedir. Sezgisel yeme; yeme alışkanlıklarının zihinsel, bedensel ve ruhsal iyi olmayı nasıl etkileyebileceği konusunda farkındalık kazanmada geniş bir çerçeve sunan, kronikleşmiş diyet döngülerini kırıp diyetsiz yaşam tarzına yönlendiren, açlık tokluk gibi içgüdüsel tepkileri odağına alan bir yaklaşımdır. Bu araştırma gastronomi ve mutfak sanatları bölümü öğrencilerinin sezgisel yeme davranışlarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. İlki öğrencilerin demografik özelliklerini ikincisi ise öğrencilerin sezgisel yeme davranışını ölçmek için yapılan anketlere parametrik olmayan testler uygulanmıştır. Sonuçta cinsiyetlerine göre sezgisel yeme davranışları incelendiğinde; erkeklerin fiziksel nedenlerle kadınların ise duygusal nedenlerle yemek yedikleri, sınıflarına göre birinci sınıfların daha bilinçli olduğu, süreye göre bakıldığında ise yemeğe bir saatten fazla zaman ayıranların daha bilinçli olduğu gözlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak sağlıklı bir yaşam için sezgisel yemenin faydaları üzerine daha fazla araştırma yapılmalı ve farklı örneklemlerle araştırmalar artırılmalıdır.

Authors:   Junior Resident, Government Medical College, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India., Gadhe Ruchita
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Leprosy or Hansens disease is caused by Mycobacterium Leprae. It is a chronic granulomatous and infectious disease primarily affecting the skin and peripheral nerves. Case detection rates are still high indicating active transmission. This study was conducted to analyze the trends in leprosy over a period of five year in a tertiary care hospital, Central India. Methods and Materials: Slit skin smear were taken as per standard protocol from patients attending outpatient Department of Dermatology (Venerology and leprosy) from a tertiary care hospital in Central India. Medical records of clinically diagnosed Hansens patients were collected retrospectively between January 2018 to December 2022. Results: A total 2166 cases of slit skin smear positive for acid fast bacilli was seen in 37.30%. A slow but steady rise in leprosy cases has been noted. In the year 2022, there were maximum number of new cases detected which were 244 accounting for 48.03%. Males 492 (60.89%) outnumbered females 316 (39.11%). The majority of the participants 486 (60.15%) were between the ages of 21 to 40. Maximum number of cases 669 (82.79%) found to have bacteriological index between 1+ to 3+. Of newly diagnosed leprosy cases, 378 (46.79%), had MI between 1 to 25. Multibacillary patients constituted 436 (53.96%) while 372 (46.03%) were paucibacillary patients. Conclusion: The leprosy programs have brought down the cases but pockets of active transmission exist in some areas. Early case detection, early institutional visit, enhancing active health education and interventions for leprosy are forwarded to eliminate disease. Detection of high number of cases signifies increased burden of Hansens diseases in this area even in the post elimination era.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Leiomyosarcoma is a rare malignant sarcoma which occurs in different anatomic sites including bone with similar histological characteristics but heterogenous clinical behaviour and prognosis. Primary LMS of bone is a rare aggressive sarcoma which presents as a high grade destructive tumour with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Final diagnosis of LMS includes a combination of histomorphological features along with immunohistochemistry. Due to rarity of disease there is limited understanding of its pathology , prognosis and treatment . Objective: Due to rarity of this disease a case series of primary LMS of bone is prepared to understand its behaviour and management in accordance with the current literature. Material And Methods: 3 cases of primary LMS of Bone is documented in this case series along with history, imaging , diagnosis and treatment. 1] LMS Left Fibula :- A 55 year old male patient reported with pain and partial limitation of motion of the left knee joint. Patient managed with Surgery and Radiotherapy. 2] LMS Right Shoulder :- A 40 year old female patient reported with complaints of lump over right back with associated pain and restriction of joint movements. Patient managed with Surgery, Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy. 3] LMS Right Hip :- A 50 year old male patient reported with lump over right hip with pus discharge. Patient managed with Chemotherapy , Surgery and Radiotherapy . Conclusion: Due to rarity of LMS Bone cases little is known about its clinical behaviour and treatment outcomes. A multidisciplinary approach is needed for the optimal management of the disease. Surgery with a curative intent is the corner stone of treatment of localised disease along with the combination of neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Further research is needed to identify more effective outcomes.

Horticulture is a branch of agriculture that deals with cultivating fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc. The horticulture sector plays an important role in the economic development of local people by improving their income and generating employment. The present studyaims to analyze the development and growth in the area, production and productivity of the major fruit crops of the study area for the period of 10 years (2011-12 to 2020-21). For this purpose, the secondary data has been collected from the Directorate of Horticulture, Government of Uttarakhand. This collected data has been analyzed and interpreted in Microsoft Excel and thematic maps are also prepared using QGIS software to visualize the production and area of major fruit crops. The study reveals that the total area under major fruit crops in 2011 was 52783 (H) and 44493 (H) in 2021. Similarly, the total production of major fruit crops in 2011 was recorded to be 298344 (MT), with 289119 (MT) in 2021. The growth rate in 2011-2021 was 15.7(H) and the production growth rate was -3.09(MT). Similarly, the total productivity of major horticulture fruit crops in 2011 was 56.5(H/MT) which increased to 64.9(H/MT) in 2021. Thus, the study demonstrates that the total area under major fruit crop production is decreased but productivity remains higher .This is the main reason for the improvement of the socio-economic condition of the cultivators and other related people.

Authors: Rodríguez Ortiz Angélica María , Ruiz Ortega Francisco Javier , Hernández Rodríguez Juan Camilo
Published: March 2023

En las últimas dos décadas se ha focalizado en la escuela, el interés sobre la argumentación como herramienta importante para el desarrollo del pensamiento crítico. Actualmente, se pueden encontrar diferentes modelos de argumentación propuestos por diversos autores. A pesar de ser bastantes, lo cierto es que no parece haber un norte claro que permita orientar y seleccionar los modelos según su necesidad o conveniencia a la hora de aplicarlos en el aula. Por ello, en el presente artículo se exponen los resultados de una investigación analítica comparativa de cada uno de los principales modelos argumentativos y sus precursores: Aristóteles (1982, 1988), Gótama (1913; la escuela nyāya o lógica india), Sócrates (Platón, 2010, Crát.), Sexto Empírico (1996), los filósofos vitandines (argumentación negativa india), la escuela de los lógicos (shi), la escuela china de los nombres, Toulmin (2007), De Zubiría (2001) y De Zubiría (2006), Díaz (2014), Adam (1992), Van Dijk (1996a, 1996b), Van Eemeren (2019), Van Eemeren y Grootendorst (2002), Perelman (2007) y Perelman y Olbrechts-Tyteca (1989). Dicho análisis permitió clasificar todos estos modelos en cuatro tipos (formal, conceptual, persuasivo y pragmadialéctico) a partir de sus elementos y estructura. Una vez realizado este análisis, se evalúa la aplicabilidad de cada uno de ellos en los procesos de enseñanza a la luz de los siguientes criterios: aportes a la construcción del conocimiento; habilidades comunicativas intervinientes; procesos de pensamiento favorecidos; actitudes, valores y emociones que permite desarrollar; limitaciones de cada modelo; y tipo de población para los que son más pertinentes. En síntesis, se pretende ofrecer herramientas que faciliten a maestros e investigadores reconocer los principales modelos argumentativos existentes, sus características, posibles bondades y los alcances de su puesta en práctica en el salón de clase.

Published: March 2023

In this paper, we propose an econometric model based on the multiple linear regression method. This research aims to evaluate the most important factors of the dependent variable. To be more specific, we consider the properties of this model, model quality, parameters test, checking the residual of the model. Then, to ensure that the prediction model is optimal, we use the backward elimination stepwise regression method to get the final model. At the same time, we also need to check the properties in each step. Finally, the results are illustrated by a real case in China air quality. The achieved model was applied to predict the 31 capital cities in Сhina's air quality index (AQI) during 2013-2019 per year. All calculations and tests were achieved by using R-studio. The dependent variable is the China's AQI. The control variables are six pollutant factors and four meteorological factors. In summary, the model shows that the most significant influencing factor of the AQI in China is PM2.5, followed by O3.
Power generalization of the linear constitutive equations of heat and mass transfer and the variants of writing the equations of momentum transfer, heat and diffusion arising from them
Authors:   St Petersburg State Marine Technical University, Pavlovsky Valery A.
Published: March 2023

Currently, when solving problems of heat and mass transfer, linear constitutive equations are used - in hydrodynamics, the viscous stress tensor is proportional to the strain rate tensor (Newton's rheological ratio), in heat transfer, the heat flux density is linearly related to the temperature gradient (Fourier's heat conduction law), in mass transfer, the diffusion flux density proportional to the concentration gradient (Fick's law). When writing these linear governing equations, proportionality coefficients are used, which are called the viscosity coefficient, thermal conductivity coefficient and diffusion coefficient, respectively. Such constitutive equations are widely used to describe the processes of heat and mass transfer in a laminar flow regime. For turbulent flows, these equations are unsuitable, it is necessary to introduce into consideration the empirical turbulent coefficients of viscosity μt, thermal conductivity λt and diffusion Dt. However, to describe turbulent flows, it is possible to go in another way - to modify the linear constitutive relations by giving them a nonlinear power-law form. Two-parameter power-law generalizations of Newton's, Fourier's and Fick's formulas for shear stress, heat flux density and diffusion, which, depending on the value of the exponents, can be used to describe the processes of heat and mass transfer both in laminar and turbulent fluid flow. Also, this generalization can be used to describe the behavior of power-law fluids and flows of polymer solutions exhibiting the Toms effect.
Mathematical model "consumer-resource" on a liner range and its application for modeling the spread of late blight of potato
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Gasratova Natalya A.
Published: March 2023

A model of consumer distribution on a fixed resource, which is uniformly distributed through a linear area, is presented. The model is based on the Cauchy problem for a system of partial differential equations. The stability of the system is studied. The physical basis of the model is the spread of late blight over the territory of a trophic resource. A qualitative picture of the process under consideration coincides with field data obtained as a result of modeling. The model describes "consumer" development not even at the moment, but through linear range. Thus assesment of damaged field square is possible.

This work analyzes two mathematical algorithms for processing experimental curves in polarized neutron reflectometry, one of which makes it possible to determine the complex reflection coefficient. The approbation was carried out for a Fe/Cr type superlattice with an irregular non-collinear ordering of the magnetic moments of the Fe layers. The processing of the experiment was carried out both by direct refinement of the structure parameters and by the method of calculating the module and phase of the reflectometry signal using the Gd reference layer. The results obtained with different methods are compared with each other. To clarify the structural and magnetic characteristics, the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was applied in both cases. The obtained data on the magnetic structure is in agreement with the theoretical model of magnetization of a layered antiferromagnet of finite dimensions in a weak field. The presented modification of the reference layer method can be considered as the phase problem solution in polarized neutron reflectometry.

Although international environmental cooperation goes back several decades, negotiation and rule-making processes aimed at ensuring sustainable development of the individual regions and world economy have intensified in last years. In the context of the simultaneous intensification of international pressure to “green up” world economy and the growing contradictions between the international actors, the team of authors set a goal to identify the areas of common interest and main disagreements in the positions of key actors on the transition to low carbon development. The research is based on the use of historical and systemic approaches, analytical, bibliographic, logical, structural methods. The authors put forward and test the hypothesis about the primacy of the international approach to the “greening up” of the modern economy. The evolution of the perception of greenhouse gas emissions from a natural satellite of economic progress (before the 1960s) to the main cause of global warming (since the 1990s) is shown. Key international climate agreements and initiatives were systematized, to record the transition from strict top-down benchmarks of harmful emissions reduction to softer self-determined commitments and “green” projects. The conducted correlation analysis revealed the reasons for national differences in the formation of the climate agenda. For the studied group of countries, population and GDP have the greatest impact on CO2 emissions. Developed countries are characterized by an inverse relationship: population growth and GDP growth lead to a decrease in emissions, which can be explained by the predominant share of the service sector in the national economy. Industry and foreign direct investment are the key generators of hydrocarbon pollution in the EU, in India and China respectively. The impossibility of resolving problems at the regional level has led to the delegation of authority to national and international institutions. The article will be of interest to specialists involved in the shaping environmental programs, experts in the field of the regional economy.

Published: March 2023

In the past three decades, many analytical and quantitative models have been developed that seek to explain the inequalities in the spatial distribution of wealth and people, from international and regional to urban. We show that a number of theoretical and empirical works have shaped the New Economic Geography, whose framework is defined by general equilibrium models, heterogeneity, and microeconomic data of quantitative models. Early theoretical work focused on stylized analytical models that made empirical research difficult. The transition to empirical research required a revision of the canonical assumptions that are used in the basic models. Quantitative models focus mainly on applied issues of spatial economics with significant public policy implications. Quantitative models validate the results of analytical models using classic micro-foundations borrowed from urban and transport economies. The challenge for the New Economic Geography is an interdisciplinary dialogue with institutional economics, economic sociology, and endogenous growth theory to explore the problems of institutional heterogeneity and inequality of opportunity. In fact, we can talk about the fusion of disciplines, which will allow us to apply the provisions of the New Economic Geography to the analysis of historical, geographical and other modes of functioning of institutions.

The high prevalence of vascular diseases of the brain (mainly as a result of atherosclerotic vascular lesions) makes the problem of rehabilitation of patients with motor disorders, poststroke disorder of higher mental functions — one of the most relevant in modern medicine. Up to 80 % of stroke patients have persistent neurological deficits. About a quarter of these cases are profound disabilities with loss of self-care. The most complete restoration of functions lost after a stroke can be achieved within the first year after the onset of an acute cerebrovascular accident. At the same time, despite the successes of modern neurorehabilitation, up to 80 % of stroke patients remain disabled. In this regard, the timely provision of adequate emergency medical care for stroke and full-fledged rehabilitation are among the most important tasks of the healthcare system, clinical neurology and neurosurgery. In this article, for use in the system of complex rehabilitation, a biofeedback method on the Pablo apparatus and sessions with a psychologist are proposed. The obtained positive effect is shown in the results of the study and can be proposed for practical use in specialized clinics.

Authors:   Regional Clinical Hospital no. 3, Mudriiakova Maria V.
Published: March 2023

Traumatic damage to the peripheral nervous system leads to long periods of inpatient treatment, disability of patients with disabilities to restore lost functions. After crossing the nerve trunk, nerve fibers re-grow from the center to the periphery, or an amputation neuroma forms on the proximal nerve process. When the nerve endings are irritated, pain appears by the type of electric current discharge, which flows from acute to chronic and persists for a long time. The study aims to improve the results of treatment of patients with chronic pain on the background of injury to the peripheral nervous system. The study is based on the analysis of the results of treatment by various methods of patients with chronic pain syndrome caused by traumatic damage to the peripheral nervous system. In the near and long-term follow-up periods, the analysis of neurophysiological parameters in patients with peripheral nervous system injury indicates a significant improvement compared to the initial data in both groups, especially in the group of proper patients in the form of an increase in the amplitude and speed of propagation of excitation along sensory fibers.

Published: March 2023

The review article presents literature data on the conservative and surgical treatment of trophic ulcers of venous etiology, taking into account modern views on the etiology and pathogenesis of the complicated course of chronic venous insufficiency. One of the mechanisms for increasing the size of trophic ulcers is the emergence of a fibrinoid necrosis zone with the rejection of overlying tissues. Current approaches in the diagnosis of this pathology have been reported. Various methods of treating trophic ulcers in varicose veins and their long-term results are compared, the peculiarities of the use of endovenous laser coagulation and obliteration in practice are considered. The question is raised about the need to unify algorithms for preparing patients with trophic ulcer for minimally invasive intervention, the principles of its implementation and postoperative management of patients in order to achieve good and excellent immediate and long-term results. The national clinical guidelines for phlebology are analyzed, in which until now the priority in the treatment of trophic ulcers is given to local treatment, which unreasonably delays and lengthens the process of their healing. Surgical treatment should be aimed at early elimination of the pathogenetic link in the development of trophic ulcers.

Hygienic assessment of the development of non-carcinogenic risk to population health in the area of air pollution during medical waste incineration
Authors:   I. I. Menshikov North-Western State Medical University, Fedorova Ekaterina
Published: March 2023

The purpose of this study is to assess the risk of developing non-carcinogenic effects for public health due to the release of chemicals into the air from medical waste incinerators. An assessment of the public health risk observed in monitoring the growth of waste consumption is necessary to determine the likelihood of adverse effects on organs and systems. The study included the analysis and ranking of chemicals that are part of the industrial emissions of enterprises burning medical waste, emission dispersion modeling with calculation of ground concentrations and assessment of non-carcinogenic risks to public health. Analysis of noncarcinogenic health risks showed the likelihood of adverse effects on organs and systems. It has been established that the maximum levels of chronic non-carcinogenic risk during inhalation intake of pollutants from the atmospheric air (in the zone of influence of the medical waste incineration enterprise no. 1) are noted for such components such as sulfur dioxide, benzo/a/pyrene, and in the zone of influence of the medical waste incinerator no. 2 — for sulfur dioxide, benz/a/pyrene, nitrogen dioxide and suspended solids. The maximum values of the total hazard indices exceed the permissible values for the impact on the respiratory organs, cases of additional mortality, development processes, the immune system, and the hematopoietic system. These levels of risk from exposure to medical waste incinerators have been assessed as unacceptable for the public. The study confirms the need to develop practical recommendations and preventive measures to reduce the impact of chemical factors on public health.

Authors: Dayı Sabriye , Sancar Serpil , Anayurt Meryem
Published: March 2023

Background/Aims: Pilonidal sinus treatment involves surgical excision or flap reconstruction; however, the disease has a high recurrence risk. We determined the outcomes of a modified local application of crystallized phenol.
Methods: In the outpatient clinic, the pilonidal sinus orifices were connected by an incision under local
anesthesia. The hair in the sinus was removed. Then, crystallized phenol was applied. The incision was not
sutured. Daily dressings and baths were recommended.
Results: Crystallized phenol was applied to 50 patients with pilonidal sinus disease (median age = 15 years).
During the follow-up, no bleeding or pain was reported. Recurrence was not found in the follow-ups (one year to
three years).
Conclusions: Surgery has disadvantages such as long-term hospitalization, recurrence risk, and high cost.
Crystallized phenol does not have any of the aforementioned disadvantages. The modified method, in which we
incised and applied crystallized phenol to all sinus tracts, might have also reduced the recurrence.
Cinema-induced Tourism in Morocco: A narrative review
Authors: Taibi Moulay Abdellah , Iflahen Fatima-Zohra
Published: March 2023

A leading destination for both tourists and filmmakers, Morocco - specifically the province of Ouarzazate - has the potential to be a cinema-induced tourism (CIT) cradle. Branded as the "Hollywood of Africa," this province is privileged due to its diversified landscape. Through a narrative review approach, this article explores the development of (CIT) in Morocco. It identifies research areas and trends by providing state-of-the-art knowledge and highlighting gaps. The results unveil the dearth of research in this field despite Morocco's pioneerism as a (CIT) destination. Furthermore, this niche is underexploited as a tourism product by national destination marketers.
Combining Outreach and Cross-sectional Research to Gather Children’s Soil Values in Aotearoa New Zealand: Protocol for the Mixed Methods Soilsafe Kids Program (Preprint)

Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Soil underpins most terrestrial systems; hence, its degradation should concern everyone. In 2021, Soilsafe Aotearoa surveyed the adult population of New Zealand about how they value soil, particularly values related to how they care about and are concerned about soil. Pursuant to this study, Soilsafe Kids (the outreach branch of Soilsafe Aotearoa) developed a combined research and outreach program to collect a supplemental data set of children’s soil values, so both adults’ and children’s voices can be considered when understanding the implications of different practices and how to care for presently “uncared for” or neglected soils in the future.

OBJECTIVE

The program not only asks primary school students about their soil values but also aims to teach them about soil from many disciplinary perspectives to enhance their understanding and awareness of soil, and, more broadly, for knowledge production.

METHODS

Here we describe the research protocol used in this Soilsafe Kids program. This program uses surveys (in the form of worksheets), focus groups (introduced as group discussions), and art projects to learn what children think about soil in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. We have received ethics approval from the University of Auckland’s Human Participants Ethics Committee (reference number 23556) on March 25, 2022, for 3 years.

RESULTS

We have begun recruiting participants and delivering the Soilsafe Kids program in schools across Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Our data collection is ongoing with final student engagement in the first quarter of 2023. We expect to analyze data at the start of 2023 and to disseminate results later this year.

CONCLUSIONS

Once this study is complete, we will disseminate the final results to the research community, stakeholders, and the local community through conference presentations, journal articles, hui (meetings), on our website, and in art exhibits. We note that although Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland is home to the majority of people living in Aotearoa New Zealand, the Auckland region only represents a small portion of Aotearoa New Zealand’s land, and findings are not generalizable to Aotearoa New Zealand as a whole.

Listening to Patients With Lupus: Why Not Proactively Integrate the Internet as a Resource to Drive Improved Care? (Preprint)
Authors: Blackie Caroline A , Gualtieri Lisa , Kasturi Shanthini
Published: March 2023

UNSTRUCTURED

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease. It is characterized by a broad spectrum of manifestations, depending on the affected organs and the severity of the inflammation at the time of presentation. Despite improvements in management, treatments are required on a chronic, cyclical basis; have high potential for unpleasant side effects; and deliver variable efficacy. Patients require care from multiple specialists, which can be delivered simultaneously and sporadically. Our fragmented health care system further exacerbates the disconnect between intermittent medical care and the lived experiences of patients with SLE. The goals of this research are to (1) assess the current standard of care for patients with SLE through the review of medical literature, including clinical consensus guidelines and systematic reviews; (2) assess the lived experiences of patients with lupus through the review of peer-reviewed literature on social listening, structured interviews, and data available from the open-access digital health platform PatientsLikeMe; and (3) present the perspective that the medical community has an opportunity to acknowledge and review the use of digital health interventions (DHIs) with their patients. The results of this research indicate that patients are incorporating DHIs, such as the internet and social media platforms, as critical components of their care for even the most basic of support. Although patients with SLE are depending on this support to shape their care, it is not considered a primary source of care by clinicians. Integrating the voices of patients brings valuable dimension to understanding the lived experiences of patients with SLE and the impacts of mutually dependent patient needs as patients navigate the disease in daily life. The medical community has a meaningful opportunity to leverage and recommend existing DHIs, such as web-based community platforms and web-based patient registries, at every stage of the patient journey to help patients better manage their condition. This has the potential to proactively build patient trust and well-being, reduce the underreporting of symptoms, increase shared decision-making, inform and shape clinical guidelines and future research, and improve patient outcomes.
MEDHI -Tool - Demystifying the WHO framework For Monitoring and Evaluation of Digital Health Interventions (Preprint)
Authors: Luz Mayara Aparecida Passaura da , Guimarães Rafael , Moro Claudia
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Digital health interventions (DHI), such as conversational agents and chatbots, play a crucial role for health support, promotion and rehabilitation. As any other health interventions, DHIs require monitoring and evaluation (M&E). However, the current evaluation process lacks a standardized approach and necessitates the use of multiple strategies to ensure comprehensiveness. In 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) proposed a seven-step practical guide for M&E DHIs, to conducting research and assessment, that became the main and most comprehensive reference in this context. Despite its importance, the guide is complex and lacks decision support tools, making its application a challenging task.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to create the MEDHI-Tool to support the use of the WHO M&E guideline for DHIs.

METHODS

This is applied methodological research, carried out in 2 phases: development and evaluation of the MEDHI-Tool; and application of this tool to M&E, a chatbot for guidance, monitoring and stroke tracking, recently made available to the public and which is being used by people from an association of patients with this disease. The development was carried out in Excel and its content was based on the consolidation of the information present among the chapters of the guide, which were classified into categories (description, objective and recommendations) and annotated in tables, to serve as a basis for creating the filters. The product was evaluated by experts for organization, relevance, understanding and applicability in M&E.

RESULTS

The MEDHI-Tool has four tabs composed and follow by the sequence of steps of the WHO guide: 1 and 4 (first tab); 2; 3; 5 to 7 (fourth tab). The tool provides a standard of guidelines to be applied to all maturity cycles of any DHI profile. The evaluation of the tool yielded a favorable response regarding each analyzed criterion. In the case study, the MEDHI-Tool proved to be a valuable resource in guiding decisions on appropriate metrics, objectives, study types, data collection, and indicators.

CONCLUSIONS

It was proposed the development of a tool to guide the M&E of DHI such as chatbots. The MEDHI- Tool has proven to be useful in providing evidence for planning processes, ensuring effective analysis of data generated and improving the delivery of products provided by DHI.
