Adopting the financial health model to improve banking reality
Authors: Hameed Hindi Ali , Salam Sarhan Sarah
Published: August 2022

"The health reality of financial and banking institutions is achieved only through optimal financial management, and correct application of financial decisions. This study came to contribute to improving the Iraqi banking reality by adopting the financial health model to assess the reality of working in Iraqi private banks. Financial health is one of the modern and important topics in the field of banking, which is used to assess the financial condition of any financial institution as a tool that shows the institution’s ability to use its financial resources efficiently, as well as its ability to generate profits with minimal risks. In the current study, some financial indicators were used, which include: net current assets, employment of undistributed profits, real production capacity, and the expected bankruptcy value, as basic indicators of the financial health model after incorporating them into the established model. The study was applied to a sample of ten banks on the Iraq Stock Exchange. The most important results that have been achieved are the lack of financial health of some banks, which may be the beginning of a financial health decline in the near future, while some banks have achieved financial health that qualifies them to continue their work in the future. The recommendations are to use the model that has been adopted to calculate and evaluate the financial health of all financial institutions in general, and banks in particular because it provides a basic rule to avoid financial crises."

Fiscal policy in Iraq in light of the shocks after 2003
Authors: Alawi Kazim Kamil
Published: August 2022

The Iraqi economy suffers from a triple shock, the first shock represented by the demonstrations that erupted in November 2019, the second shock related to the collapse of oil prices and the reduction of its production under the OPEC + agreement, and the third shock represented by the Corona pandemic and the resulting shock of supply and demand at the same time, and then led to slowing economic growth. The problems of the Iraqi economy are related to the rentier economy, which made the state control its relations with society with the presence of oil rents and dependence on it, which made it move away from its society, and thus weakened the effectiveness of the role of civil society institutions or their supervisory role, especially in the economic issue. The Iraqi economy's dependence on oil in its movement has become sensitive to external and internal shocks, so the research will focus on the development of fiscal policy in Iraq after 2003 in light of the shocks it has been exposed to and their effects on economic activity.

Authors: Reesor-Oyer Layton , Parker Hannah , Burkart Sarah , Smith Michal T , Dugger Roddrick , von Klinggraeff Lauren , Weaver R Glenn , Beets Michael W , Armstrong Bridget
Published: August 2022

Background

Excessive screen time is associated with poor health and behavioral outcomes in children. However, research on screen time use has been hindered by methodological limitations, including retrospective reports of usual screen time and lack of momentary etiologic processes occurring within each day.

Objective

This study is designed to assess the feasibility and utility of a comprehensive multibehavior protocol to measure the digital media use and screen time context among a racially and economically diverse sample of preschoolers and their families. This paper describes the recruitment, data collection, and analytical protocols for the Tots and Tech study.

Methods

The Tots and Tech study is a longitudinal, observational study of 100 dyads: caregivers and their preschool-age children (aged 3-5 years). Both caregivers and children will wear an Axivity AX3 accelerometer (Axivity Ltd) for 30 days to assess their physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep. Caregivers will complete ecological momentary assessments (EMAs) for 1 week to measure child behavioral problems, caregiver stress, and child screen time.

Results

The Tots and Tech study was funded in March 2020. This study maintains rolling recruitment, with each dyad on their own assessment schedule, depending on the time of enrollment. Enrollment was scheduled to take place between September 2020 and May 2022. We aim to enroll 100 caregiver-child dyads. The Tots and Tech outcome paper is expected to be published in 2022.

Conclusions

The Tots and Tech study attempts to overcome previous methodological limitations by using objective measures of screen time, physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep behaviors with contextual factors measured by EMA. The results will be used to evaluate the feasibility and utility of a comprehensive multibehavior protocol using objective measures of mobile screen time and accelerometry in conjunction with EMA among caregiver-child dyads. Future observational and intervention studies will be able to use this study protocol to better measure screen time and its context.

Authors: Mohamad Zuraifah Asrah , Bakon Sophia Karen , Jamilan Mohd Azerulazree Jamilan , Daud Norhafizan , Ciric Lena , Ahmad Norazah , Muhamad Nor Asiah
Published: August 2022

Background

Antimicrobial resistance is a known global public health threat. In addition, it brings serious economic consequences to agriculture. Antibiotic resistance in humans, animals, and environment is interconnected, as proposed in the tricycle surveillance by the World Health Organization. In Malaysia, research and surveillance of antimicrobial resistance are mainly performed in clinical samples, agricultural settings, and surface waters, but no surveillance of the drinking water systems has been performed yet. Hence, this policy-driven study is a combined effort of microbiologists and engineers to provide baseline data on the magnitude of antimicrobial resistance in the drinking water systems of Malaysia.

Objective

The aim of this study was to study the baseline level of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the drinking water distribution systems of Malaysia by collecting samples from the pretreatment and posttreatment outlets of water treatment plants in a selected state of Malaysia. We aimed to determine the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant genes, and the level of antibiotics present in the drinking water systems.

Methods

This is a laboratory-based, cross-sectional study in a selected state of Malaysia. Water samples from 6 drinking water treatment plants were collected. Samples were collected at 3 sampling points, that is, the intake sampling station, service reservoir outlet station, and the distribution system sampling station. These were tested against 7 types of antibiotics in triplicates. Samples were screened for antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic-resistant genes and quantified for the level of antibiotics present in the drinking water treatment plants.

Results

We will show the descriptive statistics of the number of bacterial colonies harvested from water samples grown on Reasoner’s 2A agar with or without antibiotics, the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant genes, and the level of antibiotics detected in the water samples. The sampling frame was scheduled to start from November 2021 and continue until December 2022. Data analysis is expected to be completed by early 2023, and the results are expected to be published in mid-2023.

Conclusions

This study provides baseline information on the status of the antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, the presence of resistance genes as contaminants, and the level of antibiotics present in the drinking water systems of Malaysia, with the aim of demonstrating to policymakers the need to consider antimicrobial resistance as a parameter in drinking water surveillance.

Authors: Kumari Neeta , Verma Deepak Kumar , Binawara B.K.
Published: August 2022

Background. Prediabetes is a state characterized by impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance. This implies that prediabetes bears an increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Various risk factors are the reason of the progression of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in prediabetics if factors are not overt. Hence, the present study was undertaken to determine the future 10-year cardiovascular and 8-year diabetic risk by using Framingham heart scale in prediabetic subjects. Materials and methods. Present cross-sectional study was carried out at Department of Physiology, S.P. Medical College & Hospital in collaboration with Diabetic Research Centre P.B.M. Hospital Bikaner (Rajasthan). Prediabetic subjects were identified from first-degree relatives of T2DM patients, enrolled in Diabetic Research Centre P.B.M. Hospital Bikaner. Prediabetics (impaired fasting glucose) subjects were identified on the basis of fasting blood glucose of 100 to 125mg/dl and HbA1c (5.7 to 6.4%) as per American Diabetes Association 2011 guidelines. Consecutive sampling was conducted till sample size satisfied during the period of study. Subjects of age group 20–74 years who had fasting blood glucose of 100–125 mg/dl, HbA1c of 5.7 to 6.4% and gave informed written consent were included in study. Pre-structured performa was used to collect general information, sociodemographic information, baseline physical characteristics, personal habits, biochemical analysis, and for blood parameters. Future 10-year cardiovascular and 8-year diabetic risk were assessed by using Framingham heart scale. Results. Age, occupation, body mass index, diet, smoking, alcohol, truncal obesity and family history of diabetes were significantly associated with the prevalence of T2DM/prediabetes whereas gender and literacy were not. Conclusions. In the present study, it was observed that advanced age, occupational changes, body mass index, substance abuse like smoking, central obesity, exercise, blood pressure and family history of diabetes were highly associated with future risk of T2DM and cardiovascular diseases among prediabetic subjects of first-degree relatives.
Stress and hypertension: C and H type of hypertension and causes of resistance
Authors: Sirenko Yu.M. , Radchenko G.D. , Rekovets O.L.
Published: August 2022

Background. Uncontrolled blood pressure (BP), especially in the context of stress, is associated with a fourfold increase in the risk of developing cardiovascular events compared to patients with hypertension who have reached the target BP level. Aim: to evaluate the mechanisms of the influence of stress on the development of hypertension, types of hypertension and resistance. Materials and methods. The study included 1,146 patients with resistant hypertension who were taking 3 or more antihypertensive drugs and were treated at the department of secondary and pulmonary hypertensions of the State Institution “National Scientific Center “M.D. Strazhesko Institute of Cardiology” of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine”. The level of office blood pressure upon admission to the department when taking 3 or more antihypertensive drugs was: systolic— 174.60±0.64 mmHg, diastolic— 100.50±0.38 mmHg. Patients underwent the following examinations: measurement of office blood pressure, daily blood pressure monitoring, echocardiography, measurement of nocturnal sleep apnea, general blood analysis, biochemical blood analysis, determining the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, blood renin, blood aldosterone and their ratio, urine metanephrines, blood cortisol. Results. Among patients with resistant hypertension, there were more women than men— 62.7 versus 36.7%, respectively. In a study of people with resistant hypertension who did not reach the target level of systolic BP, significantly higher indicators of BP were observed upon admission to the hospital. They had a significantly higher blood cortisol level (155.0±44.0 vs. 35.9±20.8 ng/l, p=0.026), higher left ventricular mass index (147.50±3.46 vs. 135.30±1.74 g/m2), obesity was more common among them (42.9 versus 37.5%). Conclusions. Patients with resistant hypertension who did not reach the target level of blood pressure had higher level of cortisol and left ventricular mass index compared to those who achieved the target levels of blood pressure.
Ezetimibe and diabetes mellitus:a new strategy for lowering cholesterol
Authors: Serhiyenko V.A. , Serhiyenko A.A.
Published: August 2022

Diabetes mellitus is a well-recognized risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, so an “aggressive” therapeutic approach is necessary for some high-risk patients. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is the leading modifiable risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ACVD). It is known that statins are the gold standard to control LDL cholesterol and reduce the risks associated with ACVD; however, many patients do not achieve their LDL cholesterol target or are unable to use this class of drugs due to associated side effects. Recent studies of non-statin cholesterol-lowering drugs (ezetimibe, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors) have demonstrated benefits in the treatment of ACVD, and new drugs (bempedoic acid, inclisiran) have shown promising results in preclinical and clinical studies. New evidence suggests that prescription of ezetimibe as an addition to statins provides an additional cardioprotective effect. This review aims to discuss the role of ezetimibe in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus and dyslipoproteinemia and to consider its efficacy and safety. The combined use of low- or moderate-intensity therapy with statins and ezetimibe involves two complementary mechanisms: a decrease in the intracellular concentration of cholesterol with increased uptake of LDL cholesterol by hepatocytes and a decrease in cholesterol absorption in the intestines. These mechanisms act synergistically and can provide the same overall effect as when using high-intensity statin therapy. The safety of combined therapy is equivalent to that of monotherapy with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors in similar doses. This combination is generally better tolerated than high doses of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and has advantages in patients at risk of myopathy and statin-induced type 2 diabetes. Thus, despite some caveats, ezetimibe remains the drug of choice in the arsenal of pharmacological agents.

Published: August 2022

Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) manifestation can be triggered by many different factors, including infectious diseases. In 2019, measles continued to spread in global outbreaks around the world. According to WHO data, more than 60 % of all measles cases in European Region were reported in Ukraine, a leader in measles occurrence. Measles is a dangerous viral disease, which remains an overwhelmingly important problem for healthcare system. Measles cause various life-threatening complications, which not only affect patients’ health and decrease quality of their lives, but can also lead to onset of many other medical conditions. Authors provide an example from their own clinical experience, which they have observed during the measles outbreak. PatientD., 22y.o., female, was admitted to Lviv Infectious Diseases Communal Clinical Hospital because of measles. Condition was followed by severe intoxication, fever, hacking cough, skin rash all over the body. On 4th day after the appearance of rash patient developed atypical hypertensive crisis: in supine position started severe tachycardia, thumping headache, tremor of proximities and whole body, arterial blood pressure increased to 180/110 mm Hg; after changing the sitting position, symptoms started slowly decrease, in this regard patient had to spend a few days crouched in bed, she also complained about exaltation, insomnia, psychic tension, asthenia. Patient has undergone surgical treatment— laparoscopic left adrenalectomy. Perform differential diagnostics of hypertension accurately, paying special attention to determining its’ reason. Take into consideration, that PHEO manifestation and hypertonic PHEO crises can be provoked by multiple reasons. If PHEO is suspected, hormonal, visualization and morphological examination methods should be performed. Keep in mind, that PHEO can be a constituent part of number of hereditary diseases: MEN 2A, MEN 2B, Von Recklinghausen’s Disease (Neurofibromatosis 1), Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome and can be possibly malignant.
The Role of Self-compassion to Depression in Teenagers Mediated by Emotion Regulation
Authors: Meilasari Ade - , Utami Muhana Sofati
Published: August 2022

Adolescence is a stage of development in life that is full of emotional turmoil, conflict, and stress, of which often lead to teenagers’ vulnerability to depression symptoms. A potential serious case if the depression symptoms are not treated well includes risk of suicidal ideation and  suicide behaviour. This research aims to investigate and test the role of self-compassion to depression symptoms in teenagers mediated by emotion regulation-cognitive reappraisal. Participants in this research were 627 teenagers (N=627) with an age range of 15-18 years old, including 508 girls (81%) and 119 boys (19%). Mediation analysis using Process by Andrew F. Hayes, model 4, shows that emotion regulation —cognitive reappraisal (p=0.001; p<0.05) mediates the role of self-compassion to depression symptoms in teenagers. Emotion regulation—cognitive reappraisal serves as a partial mediator to the role of self-compassion to depression symptoms. Teenagers with self-compassion treat themselves positively by realizing and accepting negative emotions that leads to reduction of these negative emotions. It improves the capability of cognitive reappraisal, that brings  new interpretation towards a more positive view for reducing depression symptoms.

Published: August 2022

Trail Making Test (TMT) has been widely used in Indonesia as an Executive Function (EF) test, however, no studies reported validity and reliability of the test. In this study, we analyzed TMT’s psychometric properties, including reliability and validity, effect of demographic variables such as education, age, and sex on the TMT, and propose norm scores for the urban population of Java Island. Four hundred ninety persons (aged 16-80 years) with varying education levels participated in the study. Four additional EF tests (Digit Span, Five Point, phonemic Verbal Fluency, and Stroop) were administered. Principal Component Analysis was used to test whether the structure of TMT supported theoretical foundations of EF. The test-retest reliability was estimated in different samples (N = 50). Results suggest that education increased and age decreased the performance, however there were no differences between high school graduates and undergraduates in the age range 16-39 years. The intraclass correlation as a reliability measure showed good results (TMTA, rs=0.76; TMT B, rs= 0.86; TMT B-A, rs=0.74). The PCA revealed that the TMT, Digit Span, and Five Point scores loaded highly on one construct, while Stroop, phonemic Verbal Fluency, and errors on Five Point test loaded highly on other. It can be concluded that TMT is a valid neuropsychological instrument measuring EF with high reliability score and has high sensitivity for education, and age effects. The study also provides TMT Norms and cut-off scores for Javanese population between 16 and 39 years old with senior high school and undergraduate level of education.
Understanding the Meaning-Making of Romantic Relationships among Emerging Adults after Parental Divorce
Authors: Delicia Carissa Azarine , Hasanat Nida Ul
Published: August 2022

Pursuing a romantic relationship is one of the most important developmental aspects of emerging adults. With the increasing divorce rate in Indonesia, the authors were interested in exploring how emerging adults make sense of romantic relationships after parental divorce. Three participants and two significant others were interviewed in this present study, in which interpretive phenomenological analysis was used as the approach to interpreting the data. This study generated two themes that show how emerging adults make meaning of romantic relationships, namely as a source of fear and a source of support. This contradictory meaning-making relates to the experience the participants had during their parents' divorce process and what they learned from the media or their significant others. These, coupled with human agency and the need for love, encourage the participants to learn from their parents' mistakes, develop certain behavioural patterns, and continue to seek romantic relationships in their lives. This study shows how interaction between parents during a divorce process can shape the meaning-making and behaviour patterns in the child’s romantic relationships. Therefore, it is suggested that divorced parents build an open communication, show positive interactions, and minimize exposing their children to negative interactions during the divorce process.

The study related serum lead level to cardiopulmonary function, quality of life and musculoskeletal pain of welders in Enugu, Nigeria. Snowball sampling technique was adopted to reach over 100 Enugu resident welders. The first 100 who met the inclusion criteria and gave their consent to participate in the study were sampled. The welders’ serum lead level was 0.522µg/dl (0.06-1.26 µg/dl). The welders had prevalent low back pain and a very high quality of life for the domain of physical health with a score of 94, and high psychosocial and social relationship domains for quality of life with the scores of 69 and 75 respectively. About 64.2% of the welders had an elevated systolic blood pressure above 120mmHg and 52.6% had diastolic blood pressure elevated above 80mmHg, while only 3.2% of the welders had pulse rates above 100 beats per minute. The mean values for lung function were FVC = 1.43, FEV1 = 1.13 and PEF = 1.61. The significant relationship between serum lead levels (FVC, FEV1 and PEF) could be attributed to lead inhalation. The significant relationship between serum lead levels and low back pain and knee pain could be attributed to lead’s effect on the musculoskeletal system.

Limitasi I’rab dalam Penentuan Makna Ayat: Satu Analisis Linguistik Berkenaan Kekaburan Nahw
Authors: Hamzah Amer Hudhaifah , Sapar Ahmad Arifin
Published: August 2022

Isu sintaksis moden mempunyai beberapa perspektif menarik untuk dikaji menurut kaedah nahw tradisional. Kekaburan struktur yang juga dikenali dalam bahasa Arab sebagai الغموض النحوي (structural ambiguity) sebenarnya turut terjadi kepada i’rab. Hal ini secara tidak langsung memberi input pandangan yang tepat terhadap fenomena i’rab yang sudah menjadi polemik sejak pertengahan abad ke-20. Berdasarkan teori Khulasah Tammam Hassan, kajian ini cuba memahami kekaburan struktur yang terjadi kepada i’rab di samping unsur-unsur bahasa yang lain untuk melihat bagaimana i’rab berfungsi memberi pencerahan makna kepada ayat bahasa Arab. Pengumpulan data dan analisis sumber kajian dibuat berdasarkan korpus yang berwibawa. Hasil penelitian subjek telah mengkategorikan korpus bahasa kepada tiga kategori iaitu: 1) gaya yang tidak memerlukan i’rab kerana struktur yang jelas, 2) gaya yang memerlukan i’rab kerana struktur yang kurang jelas, 3) gaya yang tetap kabur meskipun dengan unsur i’rab. Keputusan kajian menyimpulkan, banyak bait syair dan ayat Arab sebenarnya yang tidak memerlukan i’rab kerana strukturnya yang sudah jelas. Walau bagaimanapun, dalam sebilangan keadaan, i’rab memainkan peranan penting seperti dalam konteks perbezaan makna relatif dan mutlak melalui واو المعية dan واو العطف juga perbezaan ayat penyata dengan ekpresif berdasarkan isu كم الخبرية/التعجبية dan كم الاستفهامية. Namun, keadaannya berbeza apabila melihat kepada ayat Yunus: 71 yang gagal dimaknai oleh i’rab kerana kedua-dua makna yang saling berbeza mengandungi kekaburan yang dipercayai berpunca daripada struktur. Hal yang sama turut terjadi kepada akusatif كذا dan jenis leksem أيّ. Sehubungan itu, pengkaji merumuskan bahawa i’rab bukanlah unsur utama dalam bahasa Arab. Walau bagaimanapun, ia terbukti berjaya memainkan peranan yang signifikan terhadap makna sebagai salah satu keunikan bahasa yang memiliki unsur warisan yang bernilai.

Artikel ini meneliti bagaimana suara pelarian Syria yang terdapat dalam laporan berita al-Jazeera bahasa Arab dipaparkan. Suara pelarian Syria dilihat sebagai sumber utama intertekstualiti dalam al-Jazeera kerana al-Jazeera sering memetik suara golongan ini dalam laporannya, terutama dalam laporan mengenai kesusahan yang dialami pelarian. Kajian kualitatif ini merupakan kajian analisis kandungan yang bertujuan untuk mengkaji bagaimana laman berita al-Jazeera menggunakan unsur teks luar dalam wacana berita pelarian Syria dan tujuan teks luar ini digunakan. Setiap data dibaca dan diteliti isi kandungannya bagi mengenal pasti petikan suara pelarian yang digunakan. Analisis data dalam kajian ini dilaksanakan mengikut pendekatan Model Tiga Dimensi Analisis Wacana Kritis yang dipelopori oleh Norman Fairclough. Kajian ini tertumpu kepada analisis amalan diskursif yang melibatkan analisis bagaimana pembinaan sesuatu teks dibuat menggunakan unsur teks luar. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan al-Jazeera seringkali menggunakan suara pelarian sebagai unsur teks luar secara petikan secara langsung. Petikan secara langsung ini menunjukkan kepentingan golongan pelarian sebagai subjek ideal terhadap isu yang dibincangkan. Perkara ini dengan jelas dipaparkan melalui cerita-cerita kesengsaraan pelarian daripada perspektif pelarian itu sendiri apabila menggunakan suara mereka dalam laporan berita. Hal ini secara tidak langsung membina ruang antara golongan pelarian dengan golongan tuan rumah dan masyarakat luar. Perkara ini telah menjadikan pelarian dilihat sebagai kumpulan sosial yang lemah dan pasif, sebagai mangsa dan pada masa yang sama sebagai golongan yang memberi ancaman kepada keselamatan dan kebajikan negara tuan rumah.

O público alvo do grupo foram pacientes maiores de 18 anos, avaliados pela Equipe de Saúde da Família de sua referência, que estivessem cadastrados na lista de espera da Psicologia com avaliação de gravidade moderada/média. Os encontros ocorreram na plataforma GoogleMeet e WhatsApp, com duração de 9 semanas, um encontro semanal de até 2 horas. Através do relato, articulando a autores(as) que discutem sobre o tema, compartilha-se na escrita as atividades propostas, caracterização e sequência das técnicas, assim como resultados e reflexões produzidas no grupo. Constatou-se que o dispositivo da arte permitiu as(os) participantes renovarem seus olhares frente ao cotidiano e ao seu sofrimento psíquico, reconhecer a si como autoras(es) de formas de ser, habitar, sentir e perceber o mundo. O grupo terapêutico, intermediado pela arte, apresenta-se como propulsor para que o sujeito se reconheça enquanto capaz de criar sentidos, torne-se artista e autor de sua vida, fazendo de sua subjetividade uma obra de arte.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a correlação da esquistossomose mansônica com o acesso ao saneamento básico na Bahia entre 2015 a 2019. Foi realizado um estudo ecológico com o número de casos positivos de esquistossomose do banco de dados da Vigilância Epidemiológica da Secretaria de Saúde e os dados de saneamento básico (abastecimento de água, coleta de lixo e rede de esgoto) do Painel do Saneamento Básico, referentes ao estado da Bahia no período definido. Posteriormente, as variáveis foram correlacionadas utilizando-se o coeficiente de Spearman e p < 0,05 como nível de significância. Os resultados evidenciaram cobertura de saneamento básico no estado da Bahia inferiores aos níveis nacionais em 2019, com 19%, 47% e 16% da população sem acesso à água, coleta de esgoto e coleta de lixo, respectivamente. Enquanto isso, o período de 2015 a 2019, somou 9.703 casos positivos de esquistossomose na Bahia, com diminuição geral do número de casos no ano de 2019. A relação entre a prevalência da esquistossomose na Bahia e os fatores do saneamento básico selecionados não mostrou correlação significativa, em contraste com a relação evidenciada na literatura. Apesar disso, foi demonstrado alto número de casos de esquistossomose, baixa cobertura do saneamento básico e divergência entre os sistemas de informação em saúde no estado da Bahia, pontos passíveis de melhorias para a condição de saúde e acesso à informação da população.
Transtorno do espectro autista: análise e considerações a partir da ótica da neuropsicopedagogia clínica sobre o diagnóstico precoce e instrumentos validados no Brasil

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é uma condição do neurodesenvolvimento que se manifesta nos primeiros anos de vida, causando perturbações no desenvolvimento neurológico do indivíduo em áreas como: comunicação, comportamento, interação social e aprendizagem, apresentando diferentes graus e incidências. Estudos recentes apontam que cerca de um a dois por cento de crianças e adolescentes em população mundial apresentam o transtorno, com maior ocorrência em indivíduos do sexo masculino. A fim de analisar a relevância do diagnóstico precoce e os instrumentos utilizados para tal, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica de artigos que abordavam esses assuntos, indexados nas bases de dados eletrônicas nos periódicos online. Os resultados encontrados mostraram que o diagnóstico do TEA é uma tarefa complexa, que exige qualificação e experiência dos profissionais envolvidos e que uma das principais dificuldades para esse diagnóstico refere-se à amplitude do espectro e aos instrumentos disponíveis, que além de suas validações serem recentes no Brasil, a maior parte deles destina-se a avaliar crianças a partir dos três anos. Vale ressaltar que os autores destacam a necessidade do diagnóstico precoce entre o primeiro e segundo ano de vida, para assim, obter resultados mais expressivos e eficazes na intervenção, visto que na faixa etária dos primeiros anos de vida observa-se com maior frequência os aspectos relacionados ao neurodesenvolvimento.

O novo coronavírus surgiu na China em dezembro de 2019, o bloqueio pandêmico interrompeu a continuidade do aprendizado e desencadeou o isolamento social, mudanças na rotina, cancelamento das atividades fora de casa, perda da sensação de segurança e temores sobre o futuro. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão narrativa a fim de identificar como a pandemia e o aumento do uso dos dispositivos tecnológicos emissores de luz azul interferem na qualidade do sono de crianças e adolescentes. Foram analisados artigos científicos sobre a referida temática e a busca nas bases de dados Pubmed, Science Direct e Scielo.Identificou-se 252 artigos, onde 30 foram utilizados na construção. A pandemia de COVID-19 aumentou os níveis de estresse psicológico em crianças e adolescentes em todo o mundo e interferiu na qualidade do sono, o qual desempenha papel fundamental para a saúde mental e física, onde a duração e qualidade adequadas são essenciais. Devido ao isolamento, fechamento das atividades comerciais e adesão ao ensino remoto, houve um aumento e uso generalizado de dispositivos eletrônicos portáteis, dessa forma, o impacto na qualidade do sono desse público alvo tem se mostrado expressivo. Portanto, o controle e tempo de uso das telas devem ser observados na qualidade do sono entre crianças e adolescentes, como prioridade nos contextos familiar, escolar e clínico.
Stationary and oscillatory patterns of a food chain model with diffusion and predator-taxis
Authors: Han Renji , Rost Gergely
Published: August 2022

In this paper, we investigate pattern dynamics in a
reaction-diffusion-chemotaxis food chain model with predator-taxis,
which enriches previous studies about diffusive food chain models. By
virtue of diffusion semigroup theory, we first show the global classical
solvability and uniform boundedness of the considered model over a
bounded domain Ω ⊂ R N ( N ≥ 1 ) with smooth boundary. Then the linear
stability analysis for the considered model shows that chemotaxis can
induce the unique positive spatially homogeneous steady state loses its
stability via Turing bifurcation and Turing-spatiotemporal Hopf
bifurcation, which results in the formation of two kinds of important
spatiotemporal patterns: stationary Turing pattern and oscillatory
pattern. Simultaneously, the threshold values for Turing bifurcation and
Turing-spatiotemporal Hopf bifurcation are given explicitly. In
addition, the existence and stability of non-constant positive steady
state that bifurcates from the positive constant steady state is
investigated by the abstract bifurcation theory of Crandall-Rabinowitz
and eigenvalue perturbation theory. Finally, numerical simulations are
performed to verify our theoretical results, and some interesting
non-Turing pattern are found in temporal Hopf parameter space by
numerical simulation.
Shock wave kinematics in interstellar gas clouds with dust particles

Published: August 2022

In this article, a system of partial differential equations governing
the one-dimensional motion of an inviscid gas with solid dust particles
is considered. The evolutionary behavior of cylindrical and spherical
shock waves in dusty gas is determined. To accomplish this, we used a
technique that is based on the kinematics of the one-dimensional motion
of shock waves. This allowed us to derive an infinite hierarchy of
transport equations that describe the strength of shock waves and the
induced discontinuity behind them. These equations are used to determine
both the decay and growth behaviors of shock waves in dusty gas.
Considering the first two truncation approximations, the results so
obtained are compared with the results obtained by Guderley’s exact
solution and CCW approximation.
