Published: March 2023

Monitoring information can facilitate the condition assessment of railway infrastructure, via delivery of data that is informative on condition. A primary instance of such data is found in Axle Box Accelerations (ABAs), which track the dynamic vehicle/track interaction. Such sensors have been installed on specialized monitoring trains, as well as on in-service On-Board Monitoring (OBM) vehicles across Europe, enabling a continuous assessment of railway track condition. However, ABA measurements come with uncertainties that stem from noise corrupt data and the non-linear rail–wheel contact dynamics, as well as variations in environmental and operational conditions. These uncertainties pose a challenge for the condition assessment of rail welds through existing assessment tools. In this work, we use expert feedback as a complementary information source, which allows the narrowing down of these uncertainties, and, ultimately, refines assessment. Over the past year, with the support of the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB), we have assembled a database of expert evaluations on the condition of rail weld samples that have been diagnosed as critical via ABA monitoring. In this work, we fuse features derived from the ABA data with expert feedback, in order to refine defection of faulty (defect) welds. Three models are employed to this end; Binary Classification and Random Forest (RF) models, as well as a Bayesian Logistic Regression (BLR) scheme. The RF and BLR models proved superior to the Binary Classification model, while the BLR model further delivered a probability of prediction, quantifying the confidence we might attribute to the assigned labels. We explain that the classification task necessarily suffers high uncertainty, which is a result of faulty ground truth labels, and explain the value of continuously tracking the weld condition.

Published: March 2023

An arc array synthetic aperture radar (AA-SAR) is a new type of omnidirectional observation and imaging system. Based on linear array 3D imaging, this paper introduces a keystone algorithm combined with the arc array SAR 2D imaging method and proposes a modified 3D imaging algorithm based on keystone transformation. The first step is to discuss the target azimuth angle, retain the far-field approximation method of the first-order term, analyze the influence of the forward motion of the platform on the along-track position, and realize the two-dimensional focusing of the target slant range–azimuth direction. The second step is to redefine a new azimuth angle variable in the slant-range along-track imaging and use the keystone-based processing algorithm in the range frequency domain to eliminate the coupling term generated by the array angle and the slant-range time. The corrected data are used to perform along-track pulse compression to obtain the focused image of the target and realize the three-dimensional imaging of the target. Finally, in this article, the spatial resolution of the AA-SAR system in the forward-looking state is analyzed in detail, and the change in the spatial resolution of the system and the effectiveness of the algorithm are verified through simulation.
Data-Augmented Deep Learning Models for Abnormal Road Manhole Cover Detection

Published: March 2023

Anomalous road manhole covers pose a potential risk to road safety in cities. In the development of smart cities, computer vision techniques use deep learning to automatically detect anomalous manhole covers to avoid these risks. One important problem is that a large amount of data are required to train a road anomaly manhole cover detection model. The number of anomalous manhole covers is usually small, which makes it a challenge to create training datasets quickly. To expand the dataset and improve the generalization of the model, researchers usually copy and paste samples from the original data to other data in order to achieve data augmentation. In this paper, we propose a new data augmentation method, which uses data that do not exist in the original dataset as samples to automatically select the pasting position of manhole cover samples and predict the transformation parameters via visual prior experience and perspective transformations, making it more accurately capture the actual shape of manhole covers on a road. Without using other data enhancement processes, our method raises the mean average precision (mAP) by at least 6.8 compared with the baseline model.
Research on Security Weakness Using Penetration Testing in a Distributed Firewall
Authors: Tudosi Andrei-Daniel , Graur Adrian , Balan Doru Gabriel , Potorac Alin Dan
Published: March 2023

The growing number of cyber-crimes is affecting all industries worldwide, as there is no business or industry that has maximum protection in this domain. This problem can produce minimal damage if an organization has information security audits periodically. The process of an audit includes several steps, such as penetration testing, vulnerability scans, and network assessments. After the audit is conducted, a report that contains the vulnerabilities is generated to help the organization to understand the current situation from this perspective. Risk exposure should be as low as possible because in cases of an attack, the entire business is damaged. In this article, we present the process of an in-depth security audit on a distributed firewall, with different approaches for the best results. The research of our distributed firewall involves the detection and remediation of system vulnerabilities by various means. In our research, we aim to solve the weaknesses that have not been solved to date. The feedback of our study is revealed with the help of a risk report in the scope of providing a top-level view of the security of a distributed firewall. To provide a high security level for the distributed firewall, we will address the security flaws uncovered in firewalls as part of our research.
Analytical Prediction of Coal Spontaneous Combustion Tendency: Pore Structure and Air Permeability
Authors: Du Bin , Liang Yuntao , Tian Fuchao , Guo Baolong
Published: March 2023

In previous research, many scientists and researchers have carried out related studies about the spontaneous combustion of coal at both the micro and the macro scales. However, the macroscale study of coal clusters and piles cannot reveal the nature of oxidation and combustion, and the mesoscale study of coal molecule and functional groups cannot be directly applied to engineering practice. According to our literature survey, coal is a porous medium and its spontaneous combustion is a multi-scale process. Thus, the mesoscale study of coal’s spontaneous combustion is essential. In this manuscript, the mesoscale of the coal body (such as pore size, pore volume, and specific surface area), and the meso-scale structural morphological characteristics of the coal surface are finely analyzed and characterized. On this basis, the meso-scale structure of pores and fractures are digitally reconstructed. Furthermore, velocity and pressure distributions of the flow field in the pores of the scan plane are outlined and described by numerical simulation. The results indicate that, because of the pore structure characteristics and fluid viscosity, not all fluids in the pores demonstrate flow. This conclusion well explains the source of CO gas in methane extraction pipes, which is one of the main index/indicator gases of the spontaneous combustion of coal.

Published: March 2023

This investigation was focused on evaluating the utilization of Leather-waste, i.e., “Leather Shavings”, to develop “Poly(ethylene-vinyl-acetate)” (EVA) based “polymer matrix composites”. Composites with the highest ratio of 1:1 were developed using a rolling-mill, which was then subjected to hot-press molding for value-added applications, notably in the “floor-covering”, “structural”, “footwear”, and “transportation domain”. The specimens were examined for evaluating the “physico-mechanical characteristics” such as, “Compressive and Tensile, strength, Abrasion-resistance, Density, tear-resistance, hardness, adhesion-strength, compression, and resilience, damping, and water absorption” as per standard advanced testing techniques. Raising the leather-fiber fraction in the composites culminated in considerable enhancement in “physico-mechanical characteristics” including “modulus”, and a decline in “tensile-strain” at “fracture-breakage”. The thermo-analytic methods, viz. TGA and DSC studies have evidenced that substantial enhancement of thermo-stability (up to 211.1–213.81 °C) has been observed in the newly developed PMCs. Additionally, the DSC study showed that solid leather fibers lose water at an endothermic transition temperature of around 100 °C, are thermo-stable at around 211 degrees centigrade, and begin to degrade at 332.56-degree centigrade for neat recycled EVA samples and begin to degrade collagen at 318.47-degree centigrade for “leather shavings/recycled EVA polymer composite samples”, respectively. Additionally, the “glass transition temperature” (Tg) of the manufactured composites was determined to be between −16 and 30 °C. Furthermore, SEM and EDAX analysis have been used to investigate the morphological characteristics of the developed composites. Micrograph outcomes have confirmed the excellent “uniformity, compatibility, stability and better-bonding” of leather-fibers within the base matrix. Additionally, the “Attenuated-total-reflection” (ATR-FTIR) was carried out to test the “physicochemical chemical-bonding”, “molecular-structure”, and “functional-groups” of the “base matrix”, and its “composites” further affirm the “recycled EVA matrix” contained additives remain within the polymeric-matrix. An “X-ray diffraction study” was also conducted to identify the “chemical-constituents” or “phases” involved throughout the “crystal-structures” of the base matrix and PMCs. Additionally, AFM analysis has also been utilized to explore the “interfacial adhesion properties” of mechanically tested specimens of fabricated polymeric composite surfaces, their “surface topography mapping”, and “phase-imaging analysis” of polymer composites that have leather-shavings fibers.

Published: March 2023

Employees’ pro-environmental behaviors contribute to environmental sustainability. Drawing on social exchange theory, this research extends corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature by investigating the positive effect of perceived CSR on employees’ pro-environmental behaviors and exploring the mediating mechanisms of environmental consciousness and environmental commitment between perceived CSR and employees’ pro-environmental behaviors. Survey data were collected from 301 employees working in the textile manufacturing industry of Pakistan. The findings of this study demonstrate a positive direct impact of perceived CSR on pro-environmental behaviors. Moreover, environmental consciousness and environmental commitment mediated this relationship. Taken together, this study indicates that perceived CSR has three paths to impact employee pro-environmental behavior: direct effect, indirect effect via environmental consciousness, and indirect effect via environmental commitment. The contributions of this study include supporting social exchange theory and presenting pioneering evidence of environmental consciousness and environmental commitment mediating processes between perceived CSR and pro-environmental behaviors. This paper provides directions for future research and suggests practical implications for organizations.
Complexity, Crash and Collapse of Chaos: Clues for Designing Sustainable Systems, with Focus on Grassland-Based Systems
Authors: Schiere Johannes B. (Hans) , Gregorini Pablo
Published: March 2023

Terms such as system crash, collapse of chaos and complexity can help one understand change, also in biological, socio-economic and technical systems. These terms need, however, explanation for fruitful dialogue on design of sustainable systems. We start this paper on Grass Based (GB) systems, therefore, dwelling on these terms and notions as review for the insiders and to help interested ‘outsiders’. We also stress the need to use additional and/or new paradigms for understanding of the nature of nature. However, we show that many such ‘new’ paradigms were known for long time around the globe among philosophers and common men, giving reason to include quotes and examples from other cultures and eras. In the past few centuries, those paradigms have become hidden, perhaps, under impressive but short-term successes of more linear paradigms. Therefore, we list hang-ups on paradigms of those past few centuries. We then outline what is meant by ‘GB systems’, which exist in multiple forms/‘scapes’. Coping with such variation is perhaps the most central aspect of complexity. To help cope with this variation, the different (GB) systems can be arranged on spatial, temporal, and other scales in such a way that the arrangements form logical sequences (evolutions) of stable states and transitions of Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS). Together with other ways to handle complexity, we give examples of such arrangements to illustrate how one can (re-)imagine, (re-)cognize and manage initial chaotic behaviors and eventual ‘collapse’ of chaos into design and/or emergence of new systems. Then, we list known system behaviors, such as predator–prey cycles, adaptive cycles, lock-in, specialization and even tendency to higher (or lower) entropy. All this is needed to understand changes in management of evolving GB into multi-scapes. Integration of disciplines and paradigms indicates that a win-win is likely to be exception rather than rule. With the rules given in this paper, one can reset teaching, research, rural development, and policy agendas in GB-systems and other areas of life.

Published: March 2023

The lack of teacher retention directly impacts the sustainability of a nation’s educational goals and educational system. There are several influences on the retention of teachers, such as career advancement opportunities, job satisfaction, and other dimensions of being an educator. This survey research examines one hundred and sixty-seven Qatari teachers’ perceptions about Qatar’s current career advancement system and several related dimensions, such as professional development, professional competency, professional licensure system, and career advancement standards essential for sustainability. The findings demonstrate that Qatari teachers are dissatisfied with the current career advancement system, significantly influencing job satisfaction and career retention. In contrast, the influence on professional competencies enhanced for career advancement, obtaining a professional license for career advancement, and career advancement standards were insignificant. It is recommended that Qatar establish an improved career advancement system with career advancement initiatives that meet the needs of Qatari teachers to improve job satisfaction and retention.
A Conserved Acidic Residue in the C-Terminal Flexible Loop of HIV-1 Nef Contributes to the Activity of SERINC5 and CD4 Downregulation

Published: March 2023

The host transmembrane protein SERINC5 is incorporated into retrovirus particles and inhibits HIV-1 infectivity. The lentiviral Nef protein counteracts SERINC5 by downregulating it from the cell surface and preventing its incorporation into virions. The ability of Nef to antagonize the host factor varies in magnitude between different HIV-1 isolates. After having identified a subtype H nef allele unable to promote HIV-1 infectivity in the presence of SERINC5, we investigated the molecular determinants responsible for the defective counteraction of the host factor. Chimeric molecules with a subtype C Nef highly active against SERINC5 were constructed to locate Nef residues crucial for the activity against SERINC5. An Asn at the base of the C-terminal loop of the defective nef allele was found in place of a highly conserved acidic residue (D/E 150). The conversion of Asn to Asp restored the ability of the defective Nef to downregulate SERINC5 and promote HIV-1 infectivity. The substitution was also found to be crucial for the ability of Nef to downregulate CD4, but not for Nef activities that do not rely on the internalization of receptors from the cell surface, suggesting a general implication in promoting clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Accordingly, bimolecular fluorescence complementation revealed that the conserved acidic residue contributes to the recruitment of AP2 by Nef. Altogether, our results confirm that Nef downregulates SERINC5 and CD4 by engaging a similar machinery and indicates that, in addition to the di-leucine motif, other residues in the C-terminal flexible loop are important for the ability of the protein to sustain clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

Disciplinary misconduct as a basis for bringing an employee to disciplinary responsibility
Authors:   Department of Environmental, Natural Resource and Labor Law of Udmurt State University, Izhevsk, Shishkina Ch.V.
Published: March 2023

The article deals with the problem on legal regulation of disciplinary responsibility and it’s cause in particular — disciplinary malefaction. Disciplinary malefaction as a basis for bringing an employee to disciplinary responsibility is one of the type of offenses so it has the most common features of offenses. But at the same time, it contains some distinctions. For instance, wrongfulness of an employee is determined along with the law and by local regulations. At the same time failure to comply with the employer's requirement is not always an offense. It is necessary to evaluate the order of the employer for compliance with the norms of the law. A subjective side of the offense should be considered. In addition to guilt, the motive for non-performance or improper performance of labor duties is of particular importance. Thereupon respectful reasons for non-performance are of particular importance. In conclusion, attention is drawn to the absence of the category of “insignificance” in the labor legislation and the need to enshrine it in the labour code.

The purpose of the work was to evaluate the milk productivity of imported purebred and locally selected cows of diff erent breed belonging under the economic conditions of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The comparative characteristics of dairy productivity of cattle breeds imported to the republic and animals of local breeding have been considered. The research was carried out on the livestock of breeding cattle of Simmental breed in LLC “Ampaardaakh” in the Vilyuysky ulus, where heifers of Simmental breed were imported from the Novosibirsk region. In the daily ration of lactating cows of the farm, the content of energy feed units and digestible protein was 100,0 and 95,2 % of the standard feeding norm. In the fi rst lactation the milk yield of cows of the imported Simmental breed was 3198,8 kg of milk with a fat content of 3,94 %. A comparison of the productivity of cows of the original Simmental breed showed that they were more productive compared to their herdmates of Red steppe breed, which were imported to the republic from the Altai Territory. Thus, for all analyzed lactations 798, 1610, 1014, 1389 and 938 kg (P > 0,999) more milk was received from cows of Simmental breed imported to the republic than from herdmates of Red steppe breed. Cows of Simmental breed imported to the republic were statistically signifi cantly superior to their herdmates of Simmental breed of local selection for all mature lactations (P > 0,999). Comparison of the fat content of cows of diff erent breeds did not show significant differences. According to the yield of milk fat, imported cows of Simmental and Red steppe breeds had a higher indicator than Simmental cattle of local breeding (P > 0,999).

At follow up, exams excluded differential etiological diagnoses and, with the three mild annual herpes zoster crises, IgG strongly reactive for VZ virus and lumbosacral lesions, hypothesized herpetic pancreatitis. Herpetic AP in immunocompetent emphasizes thorough examination for etiological identification and better treatment targeting at emergency.
Diagnóstico pré-natal de esquizencefalia de lábio aberto: um relato de caso
Authors: Cabrera María José Parra , Cevallos Esteban Rigoberto Guerrero , De Oliveira Júlia Bassani , Sanmartín Fausto Andrés Martínez
Published: March 2023

Introdução: A esquizencefalia é uma malformação congênita em que há comprometimento do espaço subaracnóideo apresentando fendas que se comunicam com os ventrículos laterais. Sua etiologia é heterogênea e não especificada. Existem dois tipos de esquizencefalia, sendo o tipo I de lábio fechado e o tipo II de lábio aberto. O diagnóstico pré-natal dessa etiologia é por meio de ultrassonografia a partir da 24° semana de gestação, porém o método de eleição é a ressonância magnética, já que apresenta maior sensibilidade na detecção desta condição. A esquizencefalia é um achado pouco frequente pois não existem protocolos nem dados que ajudem na revisão da literatura científica, porém, nos Estados Unidos da América são reportados 1 a cada 100.000 recém nascidos vivos. O prognóstico e a evolução neonatal dependem do tipo e da localização da lesão, sendo o melhor prognóstico as lesões unilaterais e de lábio fechado. O tratamento consiste na administração de fármacos para prevenir crises epilépticas e caso esteja associado a hidrocefalia, será cirúrgico. Apresentação do caso: o caso de uma paciente multigesta de 31 anos, com idade gestacional de 38 + 6 semanas com diagnóstico pré-natal de feto único com fendas de esquizencefalia visualizadas na ultrassonografia de lábio aberto tipo II, e com crescimento intrauterino restrito, foi apresentado.  Conclusão: o diagnóstico precoce, um bom manejo pós-natal e um tratamento eficaz agem de maneira positiva na qualidade de vida destes pacientes.

Relatadas desde o século XVIII, as vacinas são um meio eficaz para a prevenção de doenças infectocontagiosas causadas por patógenos, a exemplo de vírus e bactérias, gerando uma resposta imunológica prolongada, salvaguardando contra a enfermidade ou diminuindo sua gravidade. Apresentando um cenário de queda, o declínio da cobertura vacinal teve o seu ápice durante o estado de emergência da pandemia por COVID-19. Diante desse cenário, a imunização infantil foi altamente afetada, tendo em vista fatores como isolamento social, falta de campanhas, orçamento reduzido e disseminação de notícias falsas por movimentos antivacinas. Portanto, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo geral investigar o declínio da cobertura vacinal de rotina no estado da Paraíba durante o período da pandemia de COVID-19 e, como objetivos específicos, constatar os recursos, ações e dificuldades existentes para alcançar as metas de vacinação infantil e identificar os possíveis impactos da baixa cobertura vacinal nos índices de saúde do referido estado. Foi realizado um estudo ecológico de série temporal através de pesquisa de dados na plataforma DataSUS, além de pesquisas bibliográficas nas plataformas Scielo, Lilacs, PubMed e Google Scholar, no qual foi observada uma diminuição na cobertura vacinal infantil no estado da Paraíba, diante dos fatores já mencionados.

Relato de caso clínico de paciente do sexo feminino, com 75 anos, hipertensa e ex-tabagista, evoluindo com angina estável e cansaço aos esforços menores que os habituais. Em cintilografia do miocárdio se evidenciou lesão isquêmica de aproximadamente 15% do miocárdio do ventrículo esquerdo. Foi admitida de forma eletiva em hospital terciário especializado em cardiologia clínica, para realizar angioplastia percutânea eletiva de lesão tipo C em Cx. Em procedimento, realizou-se a passagem de 2 guias através de lesão de 50% em terço proximal e 95% em terço médio de Cx e pré dilatação das lesões com balões. Posicionados 2 stents em overlapping, com perfuração Tipo III de Ellis no terço médio do vaso. Imediatamente, foi administrada Protamina 50 mg e realizado balonamento a baixa pressão na topografia da lesão em 3 momentos diferentes por até 30 minutos. Todavia, houve persistência de vazamento, optando-se pela passagem de segundo guia no terço distal do vaso e realizada técnica do cateter duplo-guia com implante de endoprótese a nível do vazamento, novamente não havendo sucesso na estabilização da lesão. Após 60 minutos, paciente apresentou sinais clínicos de instabilidade hemodinâmica e sintomas adrenérgicos, sendo evidenciada trombose difusa em Cx e presença de derrame pericádico associado a continuidade do extravasamento ao controle angiográfico. Imediatamente aventada a possibilidade de tamponamento cardíaco e realizado pericardiocentese com melhora imediata, porém com manutenção do extravasamento de contraste pela PC, necessitando de abordagem cirúrgica de emergência em sequência. Submetida a cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica com enxerto de veia safena para Cx e rafia de perfuração de ventriculo esquerdo. Evoluiu sem complicações significativas no pós-operatório, recebendo alta após 5 dias melhorada, assintomática, em ritmo sinusal.

Introdução: O diabete mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) é uma das doenças crônicas que mais cresce no mundo, sendo uma das maiores causas de amputações, lesões de difícil cicatrização e mortes em pacientes idosos. A fotobiomodulação é uma opção de tratamento que pode aumentar a velocidade de cicatrização de lesões e proporcionar maior qualidade de vida a esses pacientes. Objetivo: Apresentar os resultados obtidos no tratamento com fotobiomodulação em lesão por deiscência de sutura em paciente idoso com DM2. Demonstrar que a fotobiomodulação é um importante método de tratamento de baixo custo que pode ser utilizado em pacientes idosos com lesões de difícil cicatrização por diabete mellitus tipo 2, reduzindo o tempo de tratamento e proporcionando maior qualidade de vida aos pacientes. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo exploratório de relato de experiência de um homem, 92 anos, com comorbidades entre elas diabetes mellitus, tipo 2, que após queda e lesão corto contusa na mão E, apresentou deiscência de sutura. Na abordagem inicial, preconizou-se o protocolo com aplicação semanal de fotobiomodulação (12 pontos de Infravermelho (IR) na borda da ferida com uma energia de 2J e 15 pontos de Vermelho (R) no leito da ferida com uma energia de 2J, até a sessão final que utilizou 5 pontos de (R) a  2J). A análise dos efeitos do tratamento foi realizada por meio de registro fotográfico com câmera digital de 32 megapixels, a uma distância de 20 centímetros. As imagens foram examinadas por meio do software ImageJ®. Resultados: O fechamento da lesão ocorreu após 15 dias do início do tratamento. A reparação tecidual apresentou ótima cicatrização após tratamento diário com laser, sem prejuízo da área adjacente à lesão. Não foram observados eventos adversos locais ou sistêmicos durante o período de estudo da lesão. Os resultados permitem constatar que a fotobiomodulação em lesões do tipo deiscência contribuiu para acelerar a cicatrização, melhorou a evolução da lesão e o resultado estético no caso estudado. Conclusão: É possível inferir que a fotobiomodulação pode ser indicada como recurso importante para potencializar os processos biológicos envolvidos com a recuperação de lesões tipo deiscência.

A pandemia do COVID-19 modificou grandemente as metodologias de ensino em todo o país, o que culminou na substituição do modelo das aulas presenciais para o modo remoto emergencial. Essa modificação rápida pode ter sido uma experiência causadora de malefícios no processo saúde-doença de seus profissionais, assim como é evidenciado pelo mal-estar docente (malaise enseignant). Este trabalho visou analisar os diversos impactos na saúde dos professores participantes de tal transição, considerando efeitos mentais, físicos e profissionais. Para isso, foi efetuada uma revisão literária, a qual perpassou o conceito de mal-estar docente, sua origem e ramificações, além da aplicação de um questionário, ora presencialmente ora via plataforma de Formulários do Google,  para professores de duas instituições de ensino superior (IES), Universidade Cesumar (Maringá – PR) e Universidade do Oeste Paulista (Presidente Prudente – SP), escolhidos segundo o critério de ter obtido a experiência de trabalho tanto  no modelo presencial quanto no remoto. Então, os dados foram analisados e tabulados por meio de estatística simples por Excel. Após análises dos resultados, comprovou-se que houve uma alteração no processo saúde-doença no que tange a sinais e sintomas como aumento do estresse, ansiedade, dores musculares, nas articulações e diminuição da acuidade da visão, além da diminuição da satisfação e qualidade laboral.

Introdução: O câncer de esôfago (CE) é o sexto mais frequente entre homens e o décimo quinto entre mulheres, de acordo com o Instituto Nacional do Câncer (INCA). Além disso, esse tipo de neoplasia inclui dois subgrupos histológicos, principalmente: o Carcinoma de Células Escamosas de Esôfago e o Adenocarcinoma de Esôfago, a prevalência dessas patologias, variam de acordo com a geografia. Objetivo: Frente ao exposto, o objetivo do presente estudo é identificar na literatura a efetividade das ações da enfermagem no subsídio ao paciente com CE e de que forma os cuidados por parte da equipe de enfermagem podem contribuir para um prognóstico positivo. Metodologia: Estudo de revisão integrativa, os dados foram coletados através das bases de dados eletrônicas: SCIELO e PUBMED. Os critérios de inclusão levaram em conta as publicações científicas em português e inglês no período dos últimos 12 anos que estivessem relacionados com o tema proposto. Já os critérios adotados para exclusão foram: trabalhos como teses, dissertações e outras revisões. Resultados e Discussões: O Enfermeiro especialista, tem papel tanto dentro do hospital como na comunidade, provendo informações e suporte ao paciente no retorno a sua rotina, entretanto, percebeu-se a necessidade de os profissionais realizarem orientações que se adaptem às necessidades de cada paciente sem definir o grau de importância das informações. Considerações Finais: Diante dos achados, é possível compreender que o profissional enfermeiro desempenha papel ímpar no cuidado ao paciente com câncer de esôfago. Essa assistência é voltada, principalmente, para o controle de sintomas, já que em muitos casos o paciente encontra-se em cuidados paliativos quando diagnosticados com CE além de fornecer informação e orientação necessária ao binômio paciente-família.
