Comparative analysis of z-hypnotics and benzodiazepines for insomnia
Authors: Lehfeld Letícia D'Agostino , da Silva Camila Tavares Valadares
Published: September 2024

The Brazilian population has a 72% incidence of sleep disorders, the main one being insomnia. Furthermore, the use of z-hypnotics increased by 73% among Brazilians from 2019 to 2021. Based on this, this study aims to conduct a bibliographic review on the use of z-hypnotics, such as zolpidem and eszopiclone, and their repercussions compared to benzodiazepines. As a methodology, scientific articles from SciELO, Revista Neurociências, Revista Brasileira de Psiquiatria and Revista Brasileira de Neurologia cataloged in recent years were used. As a result, it was found that the use of benzodiazepines represents a high risk for memory consolidation when compared to z-hypnotics, in addition to being less safe for the elderly population and with a higher risk of chemical dependency. The new generation of hypnotics acts on GABA-A receptors, amplifying their action and causing rapid synaptic inhibition with hyperpolarization of the cell membrane. In other words, it causes a relaxing effect on the central nervous system, decreasing the latency to sleep onset without altering REM sleep, a phase related to memory consolidation. In benzodiazepines, in addition to the high tendency for dependence, there is an increase in the N2 phase of N-REM sleep and a decrease in the density of REM sleep. Cases of anterograde amnesia, motor-cognitive delay, daytime sleepiness and development of tolerance have been reported. In an analysis of data from the National Survey on Access, Use and Promotion of Rational Use of Medicines (PNAUM 2022), a prevalence of 9.3% of benzodiazepine use in the elderly was reported, even with side effects of sedation, mental confusion, dependence and absence syndrome. It is concluded that the use of z-hypnotics, especially in the long term, is safer due to their high degree of selectivity for the alpha subunit of the GABAergic receptor, especially when compared to benzodiazepines, being considered the most appropriate replacement among hypnotics.

Teotihuacan, analysis of the city from an ethnohistorical approach
Authors: Godoy Morales Octavio
Published: September 2024

Teotihuacan, located in the present-day State of Mexico, is an archaeological zone famous for its architectural complexes and pyramids. The city is known for sites such as La Ventilla, Tetitla, Tepantitla, Teopanzolco and the Palace of Quetzalpapálotl, as well as for its three main pyramids: the Pyramid of the Moon, the Pyramid of the Sun and the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. The history of Teotihuacán is complex due to the scarcity of information about its original inhabitants, which has led to various theories about its evolution. The paper examines three key periods: the rise of the city (200 BC - 250 AD), the rise of the second power group (250 - 450 AD) and the apogee of the city (450 - 550 AD). During these periods, the institutionalization of workers and military power stand out, with symbols such as the jaguar representing the ruling power. The planning of the city suggests a meticulous design, aligned with natural and symbolic elements, such as Cerro Gordo. The city reached its maximum splendor with a population of close to 100,000 inhabitants and an influence that extended throughout Mesoamerica. However, its decline between 550 and 650 A.D. is attributed to a fire and internal conflicts, especially between artisans and rulers. Finally, the paper explores the Mexica interpretation of Teotihuacán, who saw the city as a sacred place where gods were created. This legacy has contributed to maintain the importance and mystery of Teotihuacán in Mesoamerican history

Published: September 2024

Introduction: in university education, various factors such as emotional aspects, behavior and cognitive elements influence the participation of students in the learning process. The students who achieve the best results are those who participate metacognitively, with motivation and active behavior, also considering contextual and personal factors. It is at this point where the learning approach plays a fundamental role in understanding academic performance.Methods: in the present research, 277 health sciences students from a Chilean public university were evaluated using a Spanish version of the R-SPQ-2F questionnaire to evaluate learning approaches, motives and strategies.Results: most of the students presented a predominantly deep learning approach, although with a low intensity. At the strategy level, 32.85% presented a superficial approach. Significant differences were found between the approaches and between their respective subscales.Conclusions: Those who present a deep approach usually present deep strategies and motives. The presence of deep motivation without a deep type of strategy is usually associated with a superficial approach.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: obesity and overweight have become a global health problem. Genetic factors can influence the increase in body mass index, such as polymorphisms in the FTO gene, which have been related to obesity and its comorbidities.Methods: a systematic search was carried out in the Scopus, PubMed and Clarivate Analytics Web of Science databases seeking information regarding the rs1861868 polymorphism of the FTO gene and the development of obesity and associated diseases. Studies that met PRISMA-ScR criteria were selected and information on population characteristics, sample size, risk allele, outcomes, and conclusions was extracted.Results: 6 studies that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. The T(A) allele of the rs1861868 polymorphism was associated with higher BMI in some studies, but not in others. The association between the polymorphism and BMI varied according to factors such as age, sex, physical activity, and family history of obesity.Conclusions: although the rs1861868 polymorphism of the FTO gene may play a role in the risk of obesity, its effect appears to be smaller than other polymorphisms within the same gene. Factors such as age, sex, physical activity and family history of obesity appear to have a greater influence on BMI than the presence of the T risk allele of rs1861868.

Introduction: gender stereotypes are transmitted from generation to generation and become naturalized, making it difficult to deconstruct gender roles. Digital environments are not free of these stereotypical patterns, perpetuating values ​​and social roles related to gender. The objective of this research is to identify activities in digital environments of Chilean university students that may be associated with gender stereotypical behaviors.Methods: 324 women and 185 men aged 18 to 27 were evaluated through a questionnaire with a six-level Likert scale, where information was collected on the frequency with which students provided information and carried out actions on networks. Significant differences between sexes were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U.Results: women are more likely to provide personal information when requested. Men are more likely to use aliases, include avatar photos, and accept strangers into their networks. Women update their profile picture more and check who sees their posts. Men tend to make public more sensitive personal information such as political tendencies and religious beliefs.Conclusions: college students engage in stereotypical gender behavior on digital networks. These stereotypical behaviors condition students' behavior on social networks, leading to a migration from the analog to the digital world in terms of types of behavior, perpetuating social gender roles.

Antipsychotic drug usage is known to increase the risk of pneumonia, despite the fact that medications are commonly used to treat schizophrenia. By utilize machine learning (ML) to assemble a model for predicting community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in schizophrenia patient. The beginning of pneumonia was predicted by eleven factors including gender, age, clozapine usage, drug-drug interactions, dose, length treatment, coughing, and changes in neutrophil and leukocyte counts, blood sugar levels, and body weight. To create the prediction models employed in this work, seven ML techniques were utilized in the study. To assess the overall performance of the model, we employed accuracy, sensitivity, specificity. In comparison to other seven ML methods, RF and DT have results the improved forecasting efficiency. Six other key risk variables were also found, including dose, clozapine usage, medication duration, change in neutrophil or leukocyte count, and drug-drug interaction. Our prediction model could be a helpful device for doctors caring for schizophrenic patients, even though these individuals still run the risk of pneumonia while using anti-psychotic medications.

ABSTRACT
Salary is one of the important aspects in the sustainability of an industry so that workers get a fair return for their hard work. In addition, THR and BPJS are supporting aspects where the government, which acts as a regulator, provides non-wage guarantees for workers so that they can feel prosperous. Companies are obliged to implement the provisions that have been regulated by the government to create a conducive and mutually beneficial work environment. This can also show that the company provides employee service programs that can form a sense of enthusiasm, a sense of security, and a sense of being valued, so that there is a desire for mutual respect between the two parties. Therefore, this article will discuss the implementation of claims for salaries, THR, and BPJS in companies.

The garment company UD. Jadi Gumilang is a home-based industry located in Mojotengah Village, Sukorejo District, Pasuruan Regency, East Java. UD. Jadi Gumilang engages in the production of bags, clothes, uniforms, and embroidery, which are produced only when there are customer orders. Frequent damage to the computerized embroidery machine occurs because operators do not perform routine maintenance as per the garment's regulations. To address this issue, the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) value was calculated to analyze the major factors causing downtime. OEE itself is the result of multiplying the variables of Availability (90%), Performance (95%), and Quality (99%). After calculating the OEE value, the six big losses values were calculated to identify the highest losses that cause low OEE values. Then, from the highest loss values, a fishbone diagram (cause-and-effect diagram) analysis was conducted to identify the factors causing damage to minimize the recurrence of similar issues in the future. The results of the study show that out of the 2 computerized embroidery machines, one machine has an OEE value below 85%, which is the computerized embroidery machine 1 (84.64%). From this value, the six big losses calculations reveal that the largest loss is idling and minor stoppages losses, amounting to 20.02%. After conducting a fishbone diagram analysis, the factors causing idling and minor stoppages losses were identified as Human, Machine, Method, and Raw Material. Suggestions to prevent idling and minor stoppages losses include frequently cleaning the production area after production, regularly lubricating the machine to prevent wear, always checking the machine's condition before use, and others.
