Authors: Sahriyal Sahriyal
Published: September 2023

The historical development of Riau Province is inseparable from the waters, one of which is a river. The river is the only mode of transportation used. Indragiri Hulu Regency is one of 9 regencies/cities in Riau Province which is crossed by a river with a length of 500 km with a depth of 6-8 meters, namely the Indragiri River. River mode of transportation is an alternative mode currently connecting areas separated by rivers. Kuantan Tenang Village and Medan City Village, Indragiri River is the barrier between the two villages. The river mode of transportation is still the transportation used by these two villages as a liaison to get to the village. The purpose of this study is to describe people's perceptions as users of river transportation modes with case studies of river transportation modes in Kuantan Tenang Village and Medan City Village, Indragiri Hulu Regency. The method used in this study uses field observations through a questionnaire questionnaire given to users of river transportation modes in the case study location. The number of respondents is 50 respondents based on 9 characteristics. User perceptions of river transportation modes linking Kuantan Tenang Village, Rakit Kulim District with City Village Medan, Kelayang District, Indragiri Hulu Regency based on a study of perceptions of the level of service quality where the results of the analysis were obtained with a mean number of 4.33, with a good category, perceptions of tariff analysis where the results of the analysis were obtained with a mean number of 4.67, with a very good category, and perceptions on Mode Satisfaction where the results of the analysis are obtained with a mean number of 4.25 with a Good Category so that the results of the study of user perceptions of river transportation modes in Kuantan Tenang Village - Medan City Village with a mean number of 4.42 in the Good category are needed. The link to river transportation, especially those along the Indragiri river, is the construction of completeness facilities, namely the pier.

Published: September 2023

Since acoustic neuromas (AN) are slow-growing tumors, they frequently reduce patients' quality of life by compressing adjacent nerves. After evaluating various factors, the most appropriate treatment for the patient is preferred among follow-up, surgery, or radiotherapy. Surgery and radiotherapy have been shown to have comparable results in AN. Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) has long emerged as a viable option for treating intracranial tumors. Thus, it was aimed to determine the local control rate (LCR), and treatment failure and to evaluate the hearing level and facial nerve symptoms in AN treated with SRT. Forty-five patients were treated consecutively with CyberKnife-SRT between January 2014 and December 2021. Tumors were anatomically classified according to Koos grade; patients presenting with hearing impairment were graded according to the Gardner-Robertson (GR) scale and patients’ expressions. Loss of function in the facial nerve was also evaluated according to the House-Brackman scale. SRT was applied to 24 patients with 12 Gy/1 fx, 18 with 18 Gy/3 fx, and 3 with 25 Gy/5 fx. At a median follow-up of 24 months (2-73), progression was detected in 4 (8.9%) patients. None required additional intervention, and no treatment failure was observed (0%). Tumor control was achieved in 91.1% of the patients; 2-y and 5-y LCR were 91.2% and 79.8%. It was observed that 3 (30%) out of 10 patients who had serviceable hearing according to the GR scale at the beginning were non-serviceable hearing during the follow-up. Transient facial paralysis was observed in 3 (6.7%) patients. No statistically significant factor could be detected in LCR, hearing, and facial nerve preservation. Our findings are similar to previous SRT data regarding LCR, treatment failure, hearing preservation, and facial nerve impairment. SRT is an effective treatment method for AN with reasonable results.
Investigation of the relationship between 2D:4D finger ratios and internet and smartphone addiction in middle school children
Authors: Ciftci Rukiye , Kurtoglu Ahmet
Published: September 2023

In humans, prenatal testosterone exposure affects a sexually dimorphic feature called the second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D). Our research sought to better understand the connections among 2D:4D, Internet addiction (IA), and smartphone addiction (SPA) among middle school students. The study included 104 students aged between 10 and 14 years (mean age for girls: 11.3, the mean age for boys: 11.6), with 48 male and 56 female participants. Measurements of 2D:4D, hand length, and hand width were taken from the participants' hands. IA was assessed using the Young Internet Addiction Scale (YIAS), and SPA was assessed using the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form (SAS-SF). In male participants, a negative correlation was found between the 2D:4D ratio and IA, while no correlation was observed in female participants. Both male and female participants showed a high correlation between IA and SPA. The study concludes that 2D:4D is an easily measurable and reliable marker for gender differentiation. It was found that male participants had higher levels of IA compared to female participants and that IA and SPA are strongly correlated in both genders.
Diversifying the utility and species composition of Nordic forage systems : new fractionation methods and novel legume species
Authors: Micke Brooke
Published: September 2023

Leys, a temporary grassland grown as part of a crop rotation, represent an essential component of agricultural production in the Nordic countries. This thesis explores methods to diversify the utility of feed produced from leys through fractionation, as well as increase the diversity of legume species within the stand. Two fractionation methods, press juicing and leaf stripping, were assessed in tandem on pure legume stands, with juicing producing a biorefined fraction with a lower neutral detergent fiber (aNDFom) content than leaf stripping. Both methods demonstrated variability in crude protein (CP) and biomass allocation to the resulting fractions, likely influenced by stand characteristics and machine functionality. Leaf stripping fractionation was tested on mixed grass/legume stands and produced a biorefined fraction with a higher CP content and digestibility and a lower aNDFom concentration than the mixed sward if harvested conventionally. In order to increase the biodiversity of leys, wild legume species native to northern Sweden were evaluated for their agronomic potential using botanical resources, such as herbaria, floras, and databases. Following the selection process, seven wild legume species were selected, with early flowering species being preferred due to their ability to provide floral resources early in the season, when pollinator resources are sparse in agricultural landscapes. Four of these seven species were subsequently studied when grown in mixed stands with timothy grass. Two of the species, Vicia sepium and Vicia cracca maintained promising nutritive value across multiple harvesting frequencies, though additional years of data collection are needed to assess their potential for inclusion in leys.

Factors that influence mechanical transmission of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus at the time of unloading animals into slaughter plant lairage
Authors: Lowe James , McCann Ryan , Greiner Laura
Published: September 2023

Objectives: To estimate the impact of environmental conditions and management practices on the likelihood of cross-contamination of a pig transport vehicle with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) during market-animal unloading. Materials and methods: An experimental model was developed to simulate indirect contact involving footwear between an unloading dock and a pig transport vehicle. Two experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 evaluated temperature on the model trailer (4°C, 15°C, or 28°C) for 60 minutes after contact with the contaminated dock (32 contact replicates per temperature). In Experiment 2, conditions on the model dock were evaluated in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with repeated measures. Main effects were temperature (4°C or 32°C), ultraviolet light (ambient or supplemental), and mechanical scraping (de-bulked or not) with four contact events per combination. Samples were collected using a “Swiffer” (Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati, Ohio). All samples were tested for PRRSV using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results: Experiment 1: Temperature did not affect the amount of PRRSV RNA recovered. If PRRSV RNA was detected on the model dock, it was transferred and detected on the model trailer 80% of the time (95% CI, 70.0%-90.0%). Experiment 2: De-bulking resulted in a significant reduction in the likelihood of transfer (odds ratio = 0.14; 95% CI, 0.06-0.32). Implications: Contact at the harvest plant lairage unloading is a risk factor for PRRSV transmission with inadequate livestock trailer hygiene. This risk can be mitigated through mechanical removal of gross contamination of the dock.

Published: September 2023

Objective: To compare performance and mortality of weaned pigs positive for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) provided either a feed regimen with spray-dried bovine plasma (SDBP) or a feed regimen with a combination of alternative proteins and additives (ALT). Materials and methods: Pigs (n = 960) weaned at 21 days of age were allotted by sex and initial body weight (BW) into four nursery rooms, each with 10 pens and 24 pigs per pen. Pigs were provided either the SDBP or ALT regimen, each with three phases (phase 1, days 1-14; phase 2, days 15-21; phase 3, days 22-48 post weaning). Phase 1 and 2 diets for the SDBP regimen contained 5.0% and 2.5% SDBP, respectively, and phase 1 and 2 diets for the ALT regimen contained combinations of specialty proteins and additives as alternatives to SDBP. All pigs were fed a common phase 3 diet. Results: Pigs fed the SDBP regimen had higher (P < .05) average BW at days 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 48 post weaning. Cumulative average daily weight gain and average daily feed intake were higher (P < .05) for pigs fed the SDBP regimen. There was a tendency (P = .07) for pigs fed the SDBP regimen to have lower mortality (21 of 480 pigs) compared to the ALT regimen (35 of 480 pigs). Implications: Under these conditions, PRRSV-positive pigs fed the SDBP regimen have greater final BW and tend to have lower mortality compared to pigs fed the ALT regimen.

Published: September 2023

School-built environment impacts mental health, physical health, obesity, bullying, learning disorder, and respiratory disorders in children. The built environments of schools have a direct implication on the health of children. Indoor air quality in school buildings will play a role in children's exposure to pollution. One of the most consistently reported factors associated with children's active travel rates to school is the distance to school, with children more likely to walk or cycle to school the closer they live to the school. An evidence base regarding the built environment factors that shape decision-making and behavior related to active modes of travel in adults is emerging for policymakers. Functional aspects of the built environment include the distance between places; street design and geometry; street connectivity; path infrastructure, aesthetic qualities; safety; the mix of land uses; and the proximity and quality of destinations. Regarding architecture, the primary goal should be to create a space that maximizes natural light, airflow, and captivating aesthetics. Students spend their most important and developing years on school campuses; it is essential to consider their mental and physical health to create an environment where they can learn and develop their personalities in comfort. This paper discusses the health impacts that school-built environments have on children from a public health professional's perspective as well as an architect's viewpoint, as both institutions are crucial for children and adolescents to grow up in environments that encourage more active, safe, and sustainable lifestyles.

Published: September 2023

Background: Clinical pharmacists are skilled in identifying patient medication-related problems such as adverse drug responses and non-adherence. Pharmacists participate in diabetes management teams and offer direct patient treatment using several practice models in different ambulatory practice settings. The objective is to evaluate the effect of a pharmacist-intervention program on clinical outcomes in diabetes mellitus patients.
Materials and methods: The cohort consisted of diabetes patients attending multi-speciality care hospitals. Eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention and control groups. Each patient in the intervention group was counselled by the research pharmacist. The measure of diabetes self-management was assessed using the Summary of Diabetes Self –Care activities (SDSCA) questionnaire.
Results: 150 patients out of this population met the inclusion criteria. The study succeeded in proving the effect of pharmacist-led patient education in the improvement of the quality of life and clinical parameters of diabetes.  The pronounced differences in the SDSCA scores of the test group and control group signify the impact of interventions and the consistency of the scale as well.
Conclusion: The effect of pharmacist-led interventions on diabetic treatment outcomes was evaluated. The results recommend the need for extensive pharmacist-led intervention programs in metabolic disorder management.

The regime of atmospheric precipitation is one of the most important factors in determining sunflower harvest. Besides the sum of precipitation, an important role in sunflower development is also played by the annual distribution of precipitation amounts. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of atmospheric precipitation on the sunflower productivity. Research objectives consist in identifying the correlations between sunflower harvest and precipitation, as well as identifying the period of the year when the recorded precipitation has a greater impact on crop productivity. In order to identify the periods when precipitation influences the production of sunflower seeds, the data on harvest and precipitation in 2015-2020 for 21 hybrids from five stations of the State Commission for Plant Variety Testing, located in different regions of the country were analyzed. Based on the correlation degree between the two variables, it was established that the precipitation recorded in the growing season (April - September) explains over 55% of the yield variability, while the precipitation recorded in the period June-July explains over 57% of the variability. Territorial distribution of precipitation in summer is very fragmentary. Although, as a rule, higher yields were recorded in the north and center of the country, there were also recorded situations when the distribution of precipitation during the year resulted in higher yield values in the south of the country.
Predicting COVID-19 Risk Information-Seeking Behaviors in Relation to
Food Purchasing Concerns
Authors: Ruth Taylor , Settle Quisto , Rumble Joy N.
Published: September 2023

COVID-19 drastically altered the way consumers shopped for
food as they had to adhere to recommendations for social distancing. However, the public
has been divided across political parties in their assessment of the severity of
COVID-19 and must filter through misinformation related to the pandemic to make informed
choices for personal safety. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the
influences on Oklahoma consumers’ risk information-seeking behaviors about COVID-19
within the context of risk perceptions while shopping for food. The Risk Information
Seek and Processing (RISP) model and cultural cognition provided the framework for this
study. An online instrument was distributed to Oklahoma consumers to collect
quantitative data (n = 410). Respondents reported they were only slightly concerned
while making food purchases and possessed moderately high knowledge about COVID-19. They
also reported needing moderately high knowledge to make judgments about the issue.
Additionally, the respondents engaged more often in systematic processing of COVID-19
information compared to heuristic processing, but neither agreed nor disagreed that they
engaged in active information-seeking behaviors. The findings from this research provide
Extension agents and agricultural communicators guidance for creating and researching
risk communication during a pandemic in relation to food purchasing behaviors.

In this work, we studied the residual micro lattice strain of an onyx sample, which is a micro- to the cryptocrystalline variety of the mineral quartz SiO2. That the investigation has been carried out using in-situ stress experiments with the time-of-flight neutron diffraction method. The aim of the study is to investigate residual lattice strains and pressure directions in the sample using time-of-flight neutron diffraction, which is a powerful tool for the study of the residual strain behavior in bulk materials, like geological rock samples containing large grains. The residual strain was detected in different sample directions turning the sample in steps of 30° by 180° around the cylindrical z-axis. These experiments have been performed at the time-of-flight neutron strain diffractometer EPSILON, situated on the pulsed neutron source IBR-2M of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, Russia. The results of this study will provide insights into the compressional and tensional residual strain of the crystallographic lattice planes, and will have implications for our understanding of the tectonic history of this region. These different strains are arranged in the sample by a sinusoidal distribution in radial directions.

Published: September 2023

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) films were prepared by the sol–gel method under different types of acids. Effect of hydrochloric acid (HCl), nitric acid (HNO3) and nature-based solutions (NBS) under ultraviolet (UV) detection of films were investigated. Films were coated by dip coating on glass substrate. Moreover, TiO2 films were compared properties on water rinsing (Ri) and without rinsing (WRi) processes. The phase structure of prepared samples was characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The results confirm that films were highly crystalline anatase TiO2 and free from other phases of titanium dioxide. For the optical property, the transmittance (%T) observed sharp rise in the violet-ultraviolet transition region and a maximum transmittance of ~80%. Photocurrents were measured under UV intensity of 260 mWcm–2 and DC bias voltage of -20 – 20 volts (V). The results observed that currents increased as bias voltage increased. Current - Voltage (I-V) curves observed different slopes under the different of acids and rinsing process. The photocurrent of TiO2-NBS-Ri was greater than TiO2-HCl-WRi and TiO2-HNO3-WRi of 10 and 20 times; respectively. These findings suggest that the significant effect of the acid and rinsing process on crystalline, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of nanostructured TiO2 films would be useful for applying the device in UV photoelectric detection.

Published: September 2023

Um grande desafio atual do Estado brasileiro é garantir à população o direito à saúde. De um lado, existe uma forte pressão pela redução nos gastos com atividades que não estão diretamente relacionados ao processo de atendimento aos pacientes, lado outro, tem se o entendimento que quanto mais “protocolos” quanto mais burocracia mais efetivo o SUS pode se tornar, no entanto, é preciso compreender os fenômenos gerados pela obrigação, pois seu excesso em verdade dificulta o acesso da população menos favorecida e exigência de grupos específicos. A premissa é básica, um SUS ineficiente faz com que certos grupos lucrem mais, daí urgem vários fenômenos, dentre eles o do isolamento burocrático, onde a tentativa de isolar certos núcleos da burocracia seria meio de tornar o Sistema Único de Saúde mais “eficiente”, no entanto, será que tal fenômeno sob a ótica da gestão pública seria satisfatório para a população? Logo, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a estrutura do aparato estatal a partir da configuração da burocracia presente no SUS e as conexões do órgão com as forças societárias envolvidas com a temática. Foi por uma pesquisa bibliográfica que selecionou materiais, para uma leitura seletiva. O argumento analítico que permeou o estudo é de que o excesso de burocracia pública pode causar ineficiências do Estado na condução das políticas setoriais, por fim, como resultado notou-se que o isolamento burocrático ante ao cenário atual acaba sendo uma ferramenta ultrapassada para efetivação de políticas públicas.

Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic posed a significant impediment to experimental research, leading several researchers to adapt psychophysical data acquisition. With the development and proliferation of information technology, paper-based organizational processes have gradually begun to be replaced by computer-based equivalents. This study describes how we developed, analyzed data, and validated the temporal bisection task in a remote data acquisition scenario. We implemented the data acquisition using the open science software OpenSesame, in conjunction with the JATOS platform. We described in detail all the steps to use our codes, which we made available for reuse. We acquired data from 28 participants using the remote acquisition system and compared them with data obtained in person (from Penney et al., 2000). Our remote data showed compatible results with live experiments, suggesting that the modality of data acquisition (remote or live) does not influence the results.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo tecer um paralelo da evolução histórica da Pessoa com Deficiência (PcD) com a história da evolução do entendimento dos transtornos mentais. Dessa forma, o artigo aborda as mudanças conceituais e de paradigmas, evidenciando os avanços legais e normativos para um melhor entendimento sobre esses históricos e esses avanços. Para efetivação da investigação, utilizamos como recurso metodológico a revisão bibliográfica que aborda a evolução histórica sobre os temas em questão. Em um segundo momento, a pesquisa teve como objetivo traçar uma trajetória histórica dos dispositivos legais, a fim de informar a população sobre a importância da contribuição da Constituição Federal de 1988 (Brasil, 1988), da LDB nº 9.394 (Brasil, 1996), da Declaração de Salamanca (Unesco, 1994), da Política Nacional de Educação Especial na Perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva PNEEPEI (Brasil, 2008), da Convenção Internacional dos Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência (CDPcD) e da Lei Brasileira de Inclusão (LBI) para a Reforma Psiquiátrica. Após análise desses documentos, verificamos a necessidade e a importância deste projeto, pois a pesquisa demonstrou um resultado escasso e pouco especializado, evidenciando, assim, um campo fértil para estudos acadêmicos e produções de materiais sobre o assunto. Há ainda um longo caminho a ser percorrido para que, na prática, a Educação Especial esteja alinhada com o que preveem os textos legais e às demandas de práticas inclusivas na rotina escolar. Informar melhor e educar a sociedade no sentido de incluir essa população tão vulnerável e excluída do convívio social também é uma importante contribuição esperada para as áreas da educação, saúde e do direito.

“Aprender a pegar a moral do outro”: a aprendizagem do futebol como processo relacional e coletivo
Authors: Faria Eliene Lopes
Published: September 2023

O futebol é uma prática amplamente difundida no Brasil. Não se circunscrevendo a um espaço específico e a um único formato, ele é de domínio público, se produz de múltiplas maneiras e em diversos lugares, articula variadas formas de engajamento e conjuga diferentes gerações de praticantes. Essa singularidade do futebol suscitou a realização de uma pesquisa de doutorado sobre os seus modos de aprendizagem. Respeitando as características do futebol no Brasil, a pesquisa exigiu o diálogo com a noção de aprendizagem situada de Lave e Wenger (1991): cuja abordagem da aprendizagem como participação na prática social cotidiana permitia acessar tais processos ocorrendo fora das situações de ensino. Não sendo o modelo escolar (de transmissão) a referencia hegemônica para a prática/aprendizagem, a pesquisa de campo realizada em 2005 colocou foco nas práticas futebolísticas de jovens de um bairro da periferia de Belo Horizonte/BR: na escola; no campo de futebol e na praça de esportes do bairro; em outros campos da cidade dos quais os jovens da pesquisa participavam. A pesquisa permitiu desvelar aspectos importantes do processo de aprender no/do futebol, dentre o quais é objetivo colocar em foco neste artigo: a) o “futebol como um jogo de contato entre seres humanos” no qual o aprender é “pegar a moral do outro”; b) a aprendizagem do futebol como processo relacional e coletivo: as relações entre poder, acesso e aprendizagem.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to examine the influence of the Digital Adoption Index (DAI), Insurance and Financial Services' percentage contribution to GDP, ICT Expenditure as a percentage of GDP, the Ease of Doing Business Index, and Gross National Income per capita on economic development in developing countries.

 

Theoretical Framework: Drawing from the endogenous growth theory, the study hypothesizes that improvements in digital technology, insurance and financial services, and the business environment, alongside the level of national income, contribute positively to economic growth.

 

Methodology: A panel regression analysis was applied using the Fixed Effects model to analyze data collected from various developing countries. The study utilized both unit root and cointegration tests, with the Hausman test used for model selection.

 

Findings: The results demonstrated that all variables significantly influence GDP per capita. The most substantial impacts were found to come from the Insurance and Financial Services' percentage of GDP and the GNI per capita.

 

Research, Practical & Social implications: The findings underline the crucial role of digital technology, insurance and financial services, ICT expenditure, ease of doing business, and GNI per capita in enhancing economic growth. They provide insights for policy-makers in developing countries on the areas to prioritize for substantial economic development.

 

Originality/Value: This study fills a research gap in exploring the interplay of digital technology, insurance, and economic growth, particularly in the context of developing countries. It provides a unique contribution by integrating various factors into a comprehensive model.

Factors Affecting Illegal Land-use Changes in Residential Areas: (Case Study: District 6 of Tehran)
Authors: Ghalambordezfooly Rama , Hosseini Fatemeh
Published: September 2023

Today, understanding the trend of land-use changes and its contributing factors is one of the important issues in urban land-use planning and urban management policies. Not all land-use changes comply with urban development plan regulations. Illegal land-use changes, especially in residential areas, are often implemented to reduce the municipality tax for small businesses in large cities in Iran. This trend has become a source of income for municipalities through fine acquisition. The objective of this study was to identify the factors contributing to incompatible and illegal land-use changes in the case study of District 6 in Tehran. The research method used in this study was descriptive-analytical. The data was collected using a questionnaire and a field study. The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test and confirmatory factor analysis using the equation modeling technique in the LISREL software. According to the research findings, escape from the traffic scheme zone, with a coefficient load factor of 0.86, and economic profitability, with a coefficient load factor of 0.84, were the most important factors motivating illegal land-use changes in the residential areas in this case study (District 6, Tehran). The main conclusion of this research is the need for change in Tehran urban policies for mitigation of urban planning violations. Specially in this case, the impact of the traffic scheme zone in Tehran should be considered. Another suggestion is the adoption of new urban policies related to taxes on unauthorized activities in residential areas that can counteract the market response to possible changes.
A herança vernacular na arquitetura moderna brasileira
Authors: Romero Marcelo de Andrade
Published: September 2023

Este capítulo analisa a herança da arquitetura vernacular na arquitetura brasileira dos séculos XVI ao XX e como alguns destes elementos foram apropriados pelo modernismo, sobretudo na obra do arquiteto Lúcio Costa. O capítulo discute a pertinência da utilização da terminologia “arquitetura bioclimática” ponderando que se foi necessário rebatizar e requalificar a arquitetura como bioclimática é porque algum fenômeno a distanciou do seu princípio mais básico que é a interação com o clima do lugar. Por fim, o capítulo analisa os efeitos deste distanciamento nos consumos energéticos ao longo da vida útil das edificações e as medidas que os países desenvolvidos adotaram para manter a qualidade arquitetônica e reduzir os consumos energéticos sem tolir a criatividade dos arquitetos.

Published: September 2023

When analyzing one of the most recurrent types of pain, low back pain is one of the most common complaints related to the musculoskeletal system and affects a large part of the population at some point in their lives. In the context of the Unified Health System (SUS), pain is a significant concern. Chronic pain can have a negative effect on individuals' lives, affecting their ability to work, perform daily activities, and enjoy a full life. Thus, this text explores the epidemiological profile of these patients, including information on prevalence, risk factors, associated comorbidities and demographic properties. Chronic low back pain is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 60. It is evident that the incidence and prevalence are higher in females and lower in males. Advanced age, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, heavy physical labor, and a family history of low back pain are factors that can increase an individual's likelihood of developing this condition. Certain occupations can increase the risk of developing chronic low back pain. Thus, in addition to the direct costs associated with health services, chronic low back pain also generates indirect costs. It is crucial to adopt effective prevention and management strategies to minimize the burden of chronic low back pain for the State, investing in health education programs inside and outside the work environment and promoting the reintegration and adequate professional rehabilitation of affected individuals, bringing benefits both to patients and to the economy in general.
