Living and Dying in America: An Essay on Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism
Authors: Ruhm Christopher J.
Published: December 2022

This essay reviews Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism (hereafter, DEATHS) by Anne Case and Angus Deaton, a fascinating account of life and death in the United States during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. While primarily targeted toward a popular audience, the volume will be of interest to many economists and other social scientists. It postulates how American capitalism run amok—combined with and partially causing the declining economic circumstances of the less educated—has increased mortality from drugs, suicide, and chronic liver disease. After describing the material in DEATHS in considerable detail, I suggest a variety of research questions that need to be answered to confirm or refute Case and Deaton’s arguments and describe challenges to their key hypotheses. Among the latter are the ability of the postulated relationships to explain the sharply differing mortality trajectories of non-Hispanic Whites, compared with other groups, and the timing of the observed mortality changes. Along the way, I raise doubts about the usefulness of the “deaths of despair” conceptualization, with its strong implications about causality. (JEL I12, I14, I18, J11, J18)
Study of 241Am(n,f) reaction at the CERN n_TOF facility
Authors: Ελεμέ Ζηνοβία
Published: December 2022

Για τις μελέτες σκοπιμότητας, σχεδιασμού και ευαισθησίας σε καινοτόμους πυρηνικούς αντιδραστήρες (Επιταχυντικά Συστήματα Ενισχυτών Ενέργειας -ADS και 4ης Γενιάς Αντιδραστήρες Ταχέων Νετρονίων), απαιτούνται υψηλής ακρίβειας πυρηνικά δεδομένα ενεργών διατομών, κυρίως για αντιδράσεις νετρονίων με ελάσσονες ακτινίδες. Οι νέοι αυτοί αντιδραστήρες ταχέων νετρονίων επιτρέπουν την αποτέφρωση/μεταστοιχείωση των υπαρχόντων ακτινίδων σε πυρηνικά απόβλητα υψηλής ραδιολογικής και χημικής τοξικότητας. Με την αποτέφρωση/μεταστοιχείωση, μπορεί να μειωθεί τόσο ο χρόνος ημιζωής των ραδιενεργών ισοτόπων όσο και ο όγκος αυτών των ρύπων ή των αποβλήτων τους, έτσι ώστε τα τελικά πυρηνικά απόβλητα από το υλικό των αντιδραστήρων που πρέπει να αποθηκευτούν να είναι λιγότερο επιβλαβή για το περιβάλλον. Αντιπροσωπεύοντας περίπου το 1.8 % σε αναλωμένο καύσιμο πυρηνικών αντιδραστήρων PWR UOX, το ισότοπο 241Am (T1/2 = 433 y) θεωρείται ένα από τα υποψήφια ισότοπα για αποτέφρωση/μεταστοιχείωση. Επιπλέον, ο ρυθμός παραγωγής του αυξάνεται εντός του αναλωμένου καυσίμου μέσω της β-αποδιέγερσης του 241Pu (T1/2 = 14.3 y). Κατά συνέπεια, ο ακριβής προσδιορισμός του ρυθμού αντίδρασης σχάσης του ισοτόπου 241Am σε ένα εκτεταμένο εύρος ενέργειας είναι πρωταρχικής σημασίας. Στην παρούσα διατριβή, η ενεργός διατομή της αντίδρασης 241Am(n,f) μετρήθηκε με ανιχνευτές Μicromegas στην κατακόρυφη πειραματική περιοχή (EAR-2) της εγκατάστασης n_TOF στο CERN, λαμβάνοντας ωφέλεια από την υψηλή στιγμιαία ροή νετρονίων και χρησιμοποιώντας την τεχνική του χρόνου πτήσης. Για τη μέτρηση χρησιμοποιήθηκαν έξι στόχοι 241Am με συνολική ενεργότητα 0.1 GBq, ενώ δύο στόχοι 235U και δύο στόχοι 238U χρησιμοποιήθηκαν ως στόχοι αναφοράς και χρησίμευσαν στην καταγραφή της ροής των νετρονίων. Σε αυτή την εργασία δίνεται μια λεπτομερής περιγραφή της πειραματικής διάταξης καθώς και της διαδικασίας ανάλυσης δεδομένων που ακολουθήθηκε. Τα πυρηνικά δεδομένα ενεργών διατομών που προέκυψαν, καλύπτοντας ένα ευρύ φάσμα από την meV έως την MeV ενεργειακή περιοχή νετρονίων, παρουσιάζονται και συγκρίνονται με προηγούμενα δεδομένα και αξιολογήσεις πυρηνικών δεδομένων. Τέλος, τα πειραματικά αποτελέσματα πλαισιώνονται με θεωρητικούς υπολογισμούς που πραγματοποιήθηκαν χρησιμοποιώντας τον κώδικα TALYS-1.95.

Background: In this paper, the problem of sustainability of investment activity in the direction of the high yield investment program is considered. In these financial instruments, large amounts of money are accumulated, consisting of contributions from the vast majority of the population. For example, pension funds inherent in most developed countries, insurance institutions, etc., can be indicated. Accordingly, the social significance of their activities and the impact on the quality of life of all segments of the population increase.

Methods: This article outlines the methods and results aimed at the digital transformation of methods for forecasting long-term institutional investments. The authors use the method of mathematical modeling of the dynamics considering that the sustainability calculation must assume that the life cycle of citizens providing contributions is limited. The parameters of the distribution of the duration of the accumulation phase over the array of people and the time of life in the subsequent period are known. For mathematical modeling, the researchers divide the players by the time they have been present on the market.

Results: The authors have developed a mathematical model in the form of a set of algorithms for calculating the sustainability of long-term institutional investments with reference to life quality indicators.

Conclusions: The need to develop a methodology for assessing sustainability is dictated by the increased role of digital technologies and the ability to receive the most relevant information for analysis online.

Published: December 2022

Background: Bacteremia caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) can lead to bloodstream infection and subsequent sepsis which increases morbidity and mortality. Evaluation of risk factors of infection by ESBL-producing E. coli is important as it can decrease inappropriate antibiotic use and mortality rates. This study aimed to identify the risk factors and mortality of bacteremia caused by ESBL-producing E. coli.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included inpatients with confirmed E. coli blood culture examinations from two referral hospitals in Jakarta, Indonesia. Data suspected as risk factors for ESBL-producing E. coli bacteremia (utilization of medical devices, age, Charlson Comorbidity Index, history of hospitalization, and history of antibiotic therapy) were collected for analysis. Clinical profiles and independent risk factors of ESBL-producing E. coli bacteremia associated mortality were also evaluated.

Results: A total of 116 subjects were analyzed with 81% aged ≥18 years old. The most common source of infection was the gastrointestinal and intra-abdominal tracts. Malignancy as comorbidity was present in 46.6% subjects. Significant risk factors for developing ESBL-producing E. coli bacteremia were history of antibiotic therapy and utilization of medical devices. The proportion of mortality in ESBL-producing E. coli bacteremia was 55.7% with age and sepsis as its independent risk factors.

Conclusions: History of antibiotic therapy and utilization of medical devices were significant risk factors for ESBL-producing E. coli bacteremia. The proportion of mortality in ESBL-producing E. coli bacteremia patients was 55.7% with its independent risk factors being age and sepsis.
Quantum Encryption and Decryption in IBMQ Systems using Quantum Permutation Pad
Authors:   Quantropi Inc., Ottawa, Canada, Perepechaenko Maria , Kuang Randy
Published: December 2022

We present a functioning implementation of Kuang et al.’s Quantum Permutation Pad (QPP) using the Qiskit developmental kit on the currently available International Business Machines (IBM) quantum computers. For this implementation, we use a pad with 28 2-qubit permutation gates that provides 128 bits of entropy. In this implementation, we divide the plaintext into blocks of 2-bits each. Each such block is encrypted one at a time. For any given block of plaintext, a quantum circuit is created with qubits initialized according to the given plaintext 2-bit block. The plaintext qubits are then acted on with 2-qubit permutation operators chosen from a 28- permutation QPP pad. Due to the inability to send qubits directly, the ciphertext qubits are measured and transmitted to the decrypting side over a classical channel. The decryption can be performed on either a classical or quantum computer. The decryption uses an inverse Quantum Permutation Pad with the Hermitian conjugates of the corresponding permutation gates used for the encryption. We are currently working on advancing the implementation of QPP to include additional steps for security and efficiency.

Conocimiento y existencia personal
Authors: Martínez Juan Pablo , Peiró Juliana , Rosales Diego Ignacio , Vargas Alberto Ignacio
Published: December 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar que todo conocimiento, incluido el conocimiento científico, está vinculado con la existencia personal que lo realiza. Para ello se ofrece un mapa de las diversas escuelas de interdisciplinariedad atendiendo a un criterio antropológico donde se detecta en general la persistencia de un enfoque parcial y reductivo del conocimiento humano en diversas modalidades. La consecuencia de esta manera de entender el conocimiento es primeramente la fragmentación de la realidad, pero también de la vida social y sobre todo de la existencia humana. Se descubre así la necesidad de una teoría de la interdisciplina que no sólo trascienda el enfoque epistemológico, sino también el de la acción humana y su dimensión ontológica. Proponemos que esta ampliación se alcanza a través de una una interdisciplina radical anclada en la existencia personal.
Evaluation of the implementation of good manufacturing practices (gmp) in cv panda food, a special region of yogyakarta
Authors: Saputra Agum Dwi , Rahayu Wahidah Mahanani
Published: December 2022

CV Panda Food is a company engaged in the snack food industry in the form of nori (seaweed) which Mr. Stenly Hendi Avanda founded in 2012. There are several products and various flavors offered by CV Panda Food, such as Mininori Seasoned Chicken and Roast Beef, Panda Seaweed Original Flavor, Spicy Flavor, and Barbeque Flavor. To keep the food free of potential biological, chemical, and other pollutants that could harm, interfere with, or otherwise put human health in jeopardy so that it is safe to consume, CV Panda Food needs to be evaluated on Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Mininori production, which refers to the Regulation of the Minister of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia Number 75/M-IND/PER/2010, consists of location, buildings, facilities and sanitation, machinery and equipment, materials, process control, final products, laboratories, workers, packaging, labels and product description, storage, maintenance and sanitation programs, transportation, documentation and recording, training, product recall and program implementation. The purpose of implementing the Practical Work is to implement GMP at CV Panda Food concerning the Regulation of the Minister of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia No. 75/M-IND/PER/7/2010 and the obstacles found in CV Panda Food in implementing GMP in Miniori production. The methods used in data collection are observation, interviews, direct practice, documentation, and literature study. The results are that CV Panda Food has not fully implemented the GMP Regulation of the Minister of Industry of the Republic of Indonesia No. 75/M-IND/PER/7/2010. There are 83.07% appropriate, and 16.93% non-conformance from 18 aspects due to human factors, materials, environment, and methods, namely doors, ventilation, and windows not equipped with screens, not having a laboratory, walls, and floors form elbows so that the production environment is challenging to clean, there is no pest prevention, lack of dryers or tissue and lack of firm action on GMP violators, lack of awareness in the implementation of sanitation, and there is still garbage that accumulates in the production room due to lack of monitoring from the head production that pollutes the environment.

Published: December 2022

Introdução: A obesidade é uma doença multifatorial com proporções epidêmicas que tem sido frequentemente descrita como fator de risco para outras comorbidades. Portanto, é importante identificar que condições e ações estão sendo realizadas no âmbito da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) para o cuidado dos indivíduos com a doença. Objetivo: Descrever e discutir as condições e ações de prevenção e cuidado da obesidade disponíveis na APS do estado do Espírito Santo (ES). Métodos: Estudo observacional descritivo baseado no PMAQ-AB - 3º ciclo. Foram avaliados os módulos I, II e IV, considerando as variáveis relacionadas ao número de profissionais e equipamentos, desenvolvimento de ações de cuidado da obesidade e de atenção nutricional. Foram realizados testes de qui-quadrado para verificar diferenças entre as regiões. Resultados: 93,6% dos municípios participaram do estudo. Observou-se carência de nutricionistas e educadores físicos em toda a rede. Na Região Norte, o nutricionista está presente em 21% das unidades e não há educadores físicos. Foi baixo o quantitativo de equipamentos e materiais disponíveis. Quase metade das unidades de saúde do estado não tinha balança (200 kg) e caderneta do adolescente. Na Região Sul, 54% das unidades não apresentavam aparelho de pressão com braçadeira para pessoas adultas obesas. Apenas 10% dos profissionais referiram ofertar práticas integrativas e complementares (10%) e a metade não tinha conhecimento do Programa Academia da Saúde. Conclusão: As ações desenvolvidas pelas equipes da APS relacionadas a promoção da saúde, atenção nutricional, prevenção e cuidado da obesidade, além dos equipamentos e estruturas disponíveis, não são suficientes para o enfrentamento da obesidade no ES.
Lipídeos totais e alfa-tocoferol no leite maduro: existe relação após suplementação com vitamina E?
Authors: De Medeiros Juliane Oliveira , Rebouças Amanda De Sousa , Dimenstein Roberto , Rodrigues Karla Danielly Da Silva Ribeiro
Published: December 2022

Introdução: O consumo de lipídeos durante a lactação pode alterar a concentração de vitamina E do leite materno, provavelmente, por ambos os nutrientes possuírem caráter lipossolúvel e compartilharem vias similares de distribuição, metabolismo e ação molecular. Sabe-se que o alto consumo materno de vitamina E via suplementação altera a concentração de alfa-tocoferol no leite, porém ainda não foi estudado se essa suplementação afetaria a quantidade de lipídeos do leite. Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre as concentrações de alfa-tocoferol e de lipídeos totais no leite materno após suplementação materna com megadose de vitamina E. Método: O presente estudo é parte de um ensaio clínico randomizado, composto por lactantes atendidas em ambulatório público de Natal-RN. O recorte foi realizado com 26 lactantes do grupo suplementado, as quais receberam dose única de 800 UI de RRR-alfa-tocoferol (588 mg) entre 30 e 90 dias pós-parto, sendo coletado leite antes e 24h após a suplementação. O consumo alimentar foi obtido pelo recordatório de 24h, o alfa-tocoferol foi analisado por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência e a concentração de lipídeo foi determinada por crematócrito. Resultados: Todas as mulheres apresentaram consumo inadequado de vitamina E (<16mg). A concentração de alfa-tocoferol no leite aumentou de 294,8 μg/dL para 631,6 μg/dL após a suplementação (p = 0,002), e não foi encontrada relação entre o alfa-tocoferol e lipídeos totais no leite antes e após a suplementação. Conclusão: A suplementação de vitamina E não evidenciou relação entre alfa-tocoferol e lipídeos totais no leite materno.

Authors: Leonor Caio Fábio Alves , Turon Costa da Silva Thadia , Didini Camila Das Neves
Published: December 2022

Introdução: Os restaurantes universitários contribuem para a segurança alimentar e nutricional dos estudantes, permitindo o acesso à alimentação adequada, saudável e de baixo custo. Objetivo: Avaliar qualitativamente os cardápios, bem como a utilização de alimentos regionais e a diversidade de frutas e hortaliças utilizadas. Método: Foram utilizados o método “Avaliação Qualitativa das Preparações do Cardápio” e o documento “Alimentos Regionais Brasileiro” para avaliar os cardápios referentes ao almoço do mês de novembro de 2019 do Restaurante Universitário Central da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Resultados: Observaram-se baixa frequência ou ausência dos aspectos negativos, como opção de carne frita, fritura acompanhada de doce, salada de conserva, repetições de técnicas de preparo, repetições de preparações, frituras, carne gordurosa e doce de sobremesa, exceto a repetição de cores e alimentos ricos em enxofre, e elevada oferta de frutas e folhosos, como aspectos positivos, mesmo que apresentem baixa diversidade no cardápio, predominando os alimentos das regiões Nordeste, Sudeste e Sul. Conclusão: Estratégias para diminuir as ocorrências de repetições de cores e de alimentos ricos em enxofre nas preparações do cardápio devem ser adotadas. Além disso, torna-se essencial a presença frequente dos alimentos regionais e maior diversidade e variedade de frutas e hortaliças.
CONEXÕES ENTRE O AFETIVO E O MENSURÁVEL.
Authors: Pinheiro Félix Flores
Published: December 2022

Resumo: A literatura filosófica em torno dos fenômenos afetivos é um universo inteiro, tanto em vista das questões próprias sobre os sentidos, os desideratos e a fecundidade de uma teoria sobre esses quanto das conexões da afecção com vários conceitos. A coragem, a gratidão, a inveja, o perdão, a (in)justiça, a consciência e a racionalidade são bons exemplos aqui. Mas a análise filosófica do conceito de “medição” também o é? Penso que sim. O mundo humano contemporâneo é abertamente mensurável, isto é, recortado por métodos operacionais que visam representações quantitativas adequadas dos seus objetos de estudo. O artigo que segue visa efetuar aproximações iniciais entre essas discussões e a sua importância.
Entre o conhecer e o deixar ser - uma abertura para a epistemologia do amor
Authors: De Carvalho Felipe Nogueira , Andrade Érico
Published: December 2022

Neste artigo propomos uma reconceitualização do amor como um modo de engajamento intersubjetivo normativamente guiado pela busca constante do equilíbrio entre a sub- e a sobre-determinação de seu objeto, que se efetiva em relações de confiança marcadas pelo cuidado com o(a) outro(a). Esta reconceitualização permite que o amor participe da epistemologia como uma virtude intelectual responsabilista, que nos torna membros mais confiáveis de nossas comunidades epistêmicas e nos leva a formular descrições mais verdadeiras sobre o mundo, ao deixar que diversos pontos de vista sobre esses objetos sejam reconhecidos e valorizados.
FUNDAMENTOS HERMENÊUTICOS PARA UM PROCESSO CIVIL CONSTITUCIONALMENTE ADEQUADO
Authors: Hoffmam Fernando , Bolzan de Morais Jose Luis
Published: December 2022

O presente trabalho tem por escopo a partir de um dado percurso histórico, desde a experiência romano-germânica até o movimento codificador moderno apontar o que há ainda de moderno no processo civil atual, bem como, a sua condição esquizofrênica entre modernidade e hipermodernidade. Tal esquizofrenia dá-se pela assunção de um novo vetor de racionalidade á operar a lógica processo-jurisdicional, qual seja, a eficiência, base do movimento de neoliberalização do(s) sistemas(s) de justiça. Nesse viés, aponta-se ao final do trabalho um caminho hermenêutico a ser trilhado, de reaproximação do processo aos conteúdos democrático-constitucionais, recolocando-o no mundo e, construindo-o hermeneuticamente adequado à sociedade contemporânea.DOI: 10.12957/rfd.2016.17296
Transformando a constituição em realidade: o princípio da solidariedade como alicerce e vetor do direito fundamental à paz no ambiente escolar
Authors: Kunde Bárbara Michele Morais , Dos Reis Jorge Renato
Published: December 2022

A dignidade é valor intrínseco do ser humano, assegurando-lhe o direito de exercício de direitos individuais, promovendo a autorrealização por meio da liberdade de escolha e de autogestão. Todavia, a sociedade moderna caracteriza-se pela complexidade das relações sociais, os direitos devem ser exercidos com uma consciência ampliada: a de bem comum. Diante deste contexto, o problema a ser enfrentado é se o princípio da solidariedade se traduz como instrumento de promoção do equilíbrio e harmonia da vida em sociedade, que contribuirá na concretização do direito fundamental à paz. Com esta visão de ser humano além de si mesmo, o ambiente escolar é propício à prática do princípio da solidariedade, permitindo que as decisões afetas a estes personagens, sejam tomadas de maneira responsável, compromissando cada um com os resultados obtidos. A oportunidade de participação no contexto da diversidade de pontos de vista acerca de um mesmo fato ou direito revela, necessariamente, a diferença, exigindo tolerância quanto ao modo de pensar e estimulando, através do respeito, a convivência pacífica. Diante deste exercício precoce da cidadania, busca-se comprovar que a formação do jovem estudante será diferenciada, mais voltada ao bem-comum, e sendo ele o adulto de amanhã, construirá, com base nestes valores, a sociedade almejada pela Constituição Federal, que é mais justa e solidária.

A Humanidade tomou conhecimento do poder colossal da energia nuclear de forma trágica. O lançamento das bombas atômicas sobre Hiroshima e Nagasaki, pelos Estados Unidos, em 06 e 09 de agosto de 1945, respectivamente, alarmou o mundo por sua potência arrasadora, capaz de varrer a vida no Planeta Terra, em toda a sua extensão. O presente artigo pretende discutir a questão da legalidade do uso de armas nucleares nos conflitos armados, conforme o Direito Internacional Geral, o Direito Internacional dos Direitos Humanos e o Direito Internacional Humanitário. Além disso, analisar o Tratado de Proibição das Armas Nucleares, recentemente aprovado na Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas.

O objetivo geral do presente artigo é discorrer sobre o fenômeno migratório no cenário da pluralidade normativa, bem como sobre a internacionalização do direito na contemporaneidade, partindo para a análise das opiniões consultivas da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos quanto aos fluxos migratórios, e após, à questão da saúde global. Diante deste cenário este trabalho tem como questionamento: Qual a importância do fenômeno da pluralidade normativa e da internacionalização do direito, com base nas decisões da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, no âmbito da migração e da saúde global?  A metodologia baseou-se em uma pesquisa bibliográfica que focalizou em conceitos sobre a temática, bem como de abordagem hipotético-dedutiva, pois parte-se da análise da internacionalizão do direito na contemporaneidade, e em um ambiente de pluralidade normativa, para o caso da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, os fluxos migratórios e à saúde global, verificando-se no diálogo e pluralidade normativa, na multiplicidade de organizações e na internaciozalição do direito, uma possibilidade de garantia e concretização dos direitos humanos nos casos abordados – pelo direito humano de migrar. 10.12957/rfd.2020.32670
CRÍTICAS AO PACTO FEDERATIVO BRASILEIRO: ASSIMETRIA DE DIREITO, MUNICIPALISMO E ANTAGONISMO DO FEDERALISMO FISCAL
Authors: Liziero Leonam , Zilli Tiago
Published: December 2022

Partindo da análise hipotético-dedutiva do problema acerca da centralismo no Estado federal brasileiro, a presente pesquisa busca expor três estudos críticos redigidos por especialistas, que versam de temas tais como: distinções entre federalismo e Estado Federal; o princípio da senda federalista no Brasil; o cunho centralizado e nominal do federalismo brasileiro; a particularidade do Município como ente federal; as problemáticas do federalismo fiscal; o federalismo em crise; e, por fim a relação entre sociedade e federalismo. Com intuito de expor dentro das formulações metodológicas condizentes, serão apontados estes aspectos que reforçam o caráter renegado do Pacto por parte dos mandatários do Poder Central. Por fim, demonstra-se que problemas antigos das relações federativas no Brasil permanecem após a promulgação da Constituição de 1988.    10.12957/rfd.2020.40550
A INSERÇÃO TAXATIVA DE NORMAS CONSTITUCIONAIS NO CPC/2015 - A ANTINOMIA ENTRE A RAZOÁVEL DURAÇÃO DO PROCESSO E O ARTIGO. 10º DA LEI 13.105/2015
Authors: Lopes Júnior Newton De Araújo
Published: December 2022

Objetivou-se com este trabalho tratar sobre as situações controversas que as inovações legislativas do Novo Código de Processo Civil criaram sob o pretexto de tutelar princípios constitucionais. O problema da pesquisa, cinge na antinomia existente entre a necessidade obrigatória da oitiva das partes, até mesmo em questões que poderiam ser decididas de ofício e a razoável duração do processo. O objetivo geral é demonstrar que o excesso de zelo com o princípio do contraditório, não coaduna com a razoável duração do processo. Optou-se pela análise bibliográfica e jurisprudencial com suporte no método dedutivo. Como resultado observou-se que em muitas situações a demasiada preocupação com a denominada não-surpresa das decisões, gera evidente conflito com o princípio constitucional da razoável duração do processo. 10.12957/rfd.2021.42568
EMPREENDIMENTOS EM ÁREAS INDÍGENAS: A TUTELA DOS DIREITOS INDÍGENAS DURANTE O LICENCIAMENTO AMBIENTAL NO BRASIL
Authors: Bueno Vieira Tainá , Saraiva Nogueira Junior Bianor
Published: December 2022

Os direitos dos povos indígenas, apesar de reconhecidos e instituídos na legislação brasileira, continuam sendo violados de forma desmedida. Como crescimento econômico e o interesse nas áreas ocupadas por esses povos, a instalação de empreendimento se tornou recorrente, entretanto para que isso seja possível é preciso passar por um rigoroso processo de licenciamento e estudos ambientais, levando em consideração as peculiaridades do componente indígena. Portanto, esta análise da legislação existente, das correntes doutrinárias e pesquisa bibliográfica busca constatar as falhas e lacunas que prejudicam a garantia dos direitos dos povos indígenas. Para isso, utiliza-se o método dedutivo, uma vez que são tidos como parâmetros iniciais princípios e instrumentos legais nacionais e internacionais voltados aos indígenas.

Authors: Novais Aline Carvalho , Noberto da Silva Osni Oliveira
Published: December 2022

Após o reconhecimento linguístico das línguas de sinais, a educação de surdos tem avançado no país e despertado atenção de pesquisadores acerca das práticas pedagógicas mais adequadas para garantir o processo de aprendizagem desses discentes. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar pesquisas realizadas acerca da importância do uso de estratégias visuais para discentes surdos em escolas inclusivas no campo. Realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica que adotou como procedimento metodológico a Revisão Sistemática no catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES para localizarmos trabalhos realizados entre os anos de 2017 a 2021. Foram usados os descritores “Estratégias visuais”, “Surdos”, “Surdo”, “Surdez” “Inclusão”, “Educação Inclusiva”, “Escolas no Campo”. Os primeiros resultados indicaram 934 pesquisas, após os critérios de exclusão esse número reduziu para 16 e por fim, 8 trabalhos foram analisados. A análise dos estudos apontou que apesar do avanço no campo educacional dos discentes surdos, ainda é necessário entendermos como o surdo apreende o mundo ao seu redor. Precisamos de mais investirmos em formação de professores para que possamos conhecer a importância do campo da visualidade para o processo de aprendizagem do surdo além de reelaborar nossas práticas utilizando diversas estratégias visuais.

Objective:

Acute and hard-to-heal wounds are a significant burden to both a patient's quality of life and resources in healthcare systems. Here, we evaluate the outcomes of a non-comparative case series study in which Ringer's solution-preactivated polyacrylate dressings were used to treat acute and hard-to-heal wounds (the presence of Ringer's solution provides a wound dressing that allows, upon application, the immediate hydration of the underlying wound tissue).

Method:

Patients with acute and hard-to-heal wounds were enrolled into an open-labelled, non-comparative observational study. Patients were treated with Ringer's solution-preactivated polyacrylate dressings to enable wound debridement and wound cleansing for up to 12 weeks.

Results:

A total of 303 patients were enrolled in the study and 278 were included in the analysis. Wound size decreased, from a median of 3.6cm2 (interquartile range (IQR): 1.2–9.3] at baseline to a median of 2.6cm2 (IQR: 1.1–7.8] at 84 days. Relative wound area reduction (WAR) was 43.1% at 84 days and estimated probability of achievement of a WAR of ≥40% and ≥60% was 68.7% and 53.4%, respectively. Median time to achieve a WAR of ≥40% and ≥60% was 54 days and 75 days, respectively. The median percentage of wound area covered by fibrin had decreased from 50.0% to 10% and granulation tissue had increased from 25% to 50% after 84 days. In addition, periwound skin condition, local signs of infection and pain all showed improvement. The majority of the wounds were assessed as ‘healed’ or ‘better’ at the conclusion of the evaluation period.

Conclusion:

Based on the findings of this study, the use of Ringer's solution-preactivated polyacrylate dressings in daily practice has the potential to improve clinical outcomes, including healing, in patients with acute and hard-to-heal wounds.

Authors: Luthfiyah Dina , Shodikin Muhammad Ali
Published: December 2022

Background: Children are known to be less infected by Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) rather than adults. However, children are still a vulnerable group and the incidence of patients admitted to hospital continues to increase. As Indonesia’s district has limited resources during pandemic wave, the data on pandemic cases was still underreported especially cases of children.

Methods: This retrospective observational study collected data on pediatric case aged 0 – 18 years old, who were hospitalized at dr. Soebandi Hospital, Jember, Indonesia and confirmed to have COVID-19, from March 2020 to the end of March 2021.

Results: 40 children were hospitalized and confirmed COVID-19 during the study period, the majority aged 15 – 18 years (40%), male (65%), and had a history of contact (67.5%). The most common symptoms were cough (85%), fever (67.5%), and shortness of breath (40%). Laboratory results showed that the majority had decreased neutrophils and increased lymphocytes, while most of the patient had normal chest X-rays (52.5%). From 5 pediatric patients who had multimorbidity, 4 patients died. All four had common underweight clinical morbidity, while acute respiratory distress syndrome was dominated the cause of death. The mortality rate in this study reached 10%.

Conclusion: The majority of pediatric patients were found to have mild to moderate symptoms with good outcomes. Case mortality rate in this study was lower than national data. Meanwhile, the underweight comorbid in children with COVID-19 was worsening the outcome in this study.

Reflective color switching coatings based on chalcogenide phase change material (PCM) is becoming one of the most promising display technologies in the future. However, it is still a challenge to kindly control the stress and enhance the stretchability for flexible display coatings. Here, we report crack-reduced reflective color coatings on a flexible substrate by using buckling structure to regulate the distribution of vacancies in PCM. It significantly suppresses the formation of cracks and improves the robustness of optical and electrical properties during stretching of the display device, which opens the doors of opportunity for phase change display applications in a wide range of flexible and wearable display fields.

Published: December 2022

Thermo-optic actuators based on bulk materials are considered too slow in applications such as laser frequency control. The availability of high-quality optical materials that have extremely fast thermal response times, such as diamond, present an opportunity for increasing performance. Here, diamond thermal actuators are investigated for configurations that use a planar thermal resistive layer applied to a heat-sinked rectangular prism. A general analytical formulation is obtained which simplifies substantially for high thermal conductivity such as diamond. Expressions for modulation depth, bandwidth and power requirements are obtained as functions of modulator dimensions and heat-transfer coefficients. For a 1 mm × 1 mm cross-section diamond at wavelength of 1 μm, around 450 W of applied heat power is needed to achieve a π phase shift at a modulation frequency of 2 kHz.

Here, we unlock the properties of the recently introduced on-chip hollow-core microgap waveguide in the context of optofluidics which allows for intense light-water interaction over long lengths with fast response times. The nanoprinted waveguide operates by the anti-resonance effect in the visible and near-infrared domain and includes a hollow core with defined gaps every 176 µm. The spectroscopic capabilities are demonstrated by various absorption-related experiments, showing that the Beer-Lambert law can be applied without any modification. In addition to revealing key performance parameters, time-resolved experiments showed a decisive improvement in diffusion times resulting from the lateral access provided by the microgaps. Overall, the microgap waveguide represents a pathway for on-chip spectroscopy in aqueous environments.

Self-injection locking of a diode laser to a high-quality-factor microresonator is widely used for frequency stabilization and linewidth narrowing. We constructed several microresonator-based laser sources with measured instantaneous linewidths of 1 Hz and used them for investigation and implementation of the self-injection locking effect. We studied analytically and experimentally the dependence of the stabilization coefficient on tunable parameters such as locking phase and coupling rate. It was shown that precise control of the locking phase allows fine-tuning of the generated frequency from the stabilized laser diode. We also showed that it is possible for such laser sources to realize fast continuous and linear frequency modulation by injection current tuning inside the self-injection locking regime. We conceptually demonstrate coherent frequency-modulated continuous wave LIDAR over a distance of 10 km using such a microresonator-stabilized laser diode in the frequency-chirping regime and measure velocities as low as sub-micrometer per second in the unmodulated case. These results could be of interest to cutting-edge technology applications such as space debris monitoring and long-range object classification, high-resolution spectroscopy, and others.

Authors: Zhang Xian , Xu Yangyang , Zhu Xiao-Song , Shi Yi-Wei
Published: December 2022

A novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) temperature sensor based on a silver-coated multi-hole optical fiber (SMHOF) is presented. The central and surrounding air holes of the SMHOF are filled with two kinds of thermosensitive liquid with high and low refractive index (RI), respectively. Two separated resonance dips, which are related to the high and low RI filled liquid respectively, are observed at different wavelength in the transmission spectrum. Advantageously, the two dips move towards opposite direction with the temperature variation. The interval between the two SPR dips is measured under different environmental temperature and exhibits a good linearity. The proposed sensor with different detection range is fabricated by changing the RIs of the filled thermosensitive liquids. The temperature sensitivity of 7.72 nm/°C and -7.81 nm/°C is obtained in the range of 20-60 °C and -20-20 °C, respectively. Owing to the high temperature sensitivity and tunable detection range, the proposed sensor is expected to find potential applications in biomedicine, health care and environmental monitoring.

Published: December 2022

Bright high harmonics generation (HHG) in CMOS-compatible nano-films can provide new opportunities for integrated coherent ultra-violet sources and attosecond photonic devices. Up to now, most HHG studies have been limited to single crystals. Polycrystalline materials, which consist of many grains separated by grain boundaries and normally have random crystallographic orientations, have rarely been explored for HHG. Understanding and predicting the HHG properties in polycrystalline nano-films are important owing to its merits of low cost and diversified properties, but challenging due to their complicated electronic structures. Here, we for the first time experimentally discover the correspondence between HHG in polycrystalline matters and macroscopic material parameters, to the best of our knowledge. Pumped by a mid-infrared femtosecond laser centered at 7.1 µm wavelength, bright and long-term stable harmonics extending to 25th orders (284 nm) are demonstrated in polycrystalline cadmium telluride (CdTe) nano-films. It is found that the HHG strengths in the transmission and the reflection behave differently as a function of the material thickness in the range from 6 nm to 4 µm, which is highly correlated to the measured macroscopic conductivity. The experimental findings agree well with the recent theoretical prediction [Phys. Rev. B 103(15), 155426 (2021)10.1103/PhysRevB.103.155426]. This work provides a simple gauge to study and predict HHG in complicated polycrystalline and amorphous nano-systems, and paves the way for novel strong-field nanophotonics based on polycrystalline nano-films.

Published: December 2022

With the extensive research on the Pancharatnam–Berry phase, metasurfaces have been widely designed as various cross-polarized nanodevices for circularly polarized (CP) illumination. However, co- and cross-polarized lights are rarely co-modulated by the metasurface. To fully utilize the transmitted light, we propose a spin-selected bifunctional metasurface composed of arrayed silver nanorods, integrating an amplitude-based grayscale imaging for co-polarized transmission and a phase-based metalens for cross-polarized transmission, under left-handed CP incidence. Moreover, such dual functionalities work well under right-handed CP incidence. Both experiments and simulations demonstrate the bifunctional performance as potential meta-devices.

The objective of this study was to investigate whether a rule-based natural language processing (NLP) system, applied to primary care clinical text data, could be used to monitor COVID-19 viral activity in Toronto, Canada. We employed a retrospective cohort design. We included primary care patients with a clinical encounter between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 at one of 44 participating clinical sites. During the study timeframe, Toronto first experienced a COVID-19 outbreak between March-2020 and June-2020; followed by a second viral resurgence from October-2020 through December-2020. We used an expert derived dictionary, pattern matching tools and contextual analyzer to classify primary care documents as 1) COVID-19 positive, 2) COVID-19 negative, or 3) unknown COVID-19 status. We applied the COVID-19 biosurveillance system across three primary care electronic medical record text streams: 1) lab text, 2) health condition diagnosis text and 3) clinical notes. We enumerated COVID-19 entities in the clinical text and estimated the proportion of patients with a positive COVID-19 record. We constructed a primary care COVID-19 NLP-derived time series and investigated its correlation with independent/external public health series: 1) lab confirmed COVID-19 cases, 2) COVID-19 hospitalizations, 3) COVID-19 ICU admissions, and 4) COVID-19 intubations. A total of 196,440 unique patients were observed over the study timeframe, of which 4,580 (2.3%) had at least one positive COVID-19 document in their primary care electronic medical record. Our NLP-derived COVID-19 time series describing the temporal dynamics of COVID-19 positivity status over the study timeframe demonstrated a pattern/trend which strongly mirrored that of other external public health series under investigation. We conclude that primary care text data passively collected from electronic medical record systems represent a high quality, low-cost source of information for monitoring/surveilling COVID-19 impacts on community health.

Published: December 2022

Every year, around 20 million women worldwide give birth to low birth weight (LBW) infants, with majority of these births occurring in low-and middle-income countries, including the Solomon Islands. Few studies have explored the pregnancy lived experience of women who deliver LBW infants. The aim of the study is to understand the lived experience of women in the Solomon Islands who gave birth to LBW infants by exploring their personal (socio-demographic and health), behavioural, social and environmental contexts. We used a qualitative descriptive approach and purposely selected 18 postnatal women with LBW infants in the Solomon Islands for an in-depth interview. All data were analysed using thematic analysis in NVivo. We identified six themes reported as being related to LBW: health issues, diet and nutrition, substance use, domestic violence, environmental conditions and antenatal care. Our findings suggest that women in the Solomon Islands are exposed to various personal, behavioural, social and environmental risk factors during pregnancy that can impact birth outcomes, particularly LBW. We recommend further research should be redirected to look at the factors/themes identified in the interviews.
