Authors: Miyamoto Vania Furuguem , Pereira Silvia Maria Soares de Araujo , Menegotto José Luis
Published: September 2024

The modeling of rules for the automatic verification of requirements of architectural programs of Health Care Establishments (EAS) represents one of the many challenges related to the adoption of the BIM methodology in the processes of the Coordination of Projects and Works of Cogic-Fiocruz. These programs need to comply with the requirements of RDC-50. With a new process of approval of most of the activities of the EASs in the city of Rio de Janeiro, by the municipal secretariat and no longer by the State Health Surveillance and, when the visa service in plan is terminated by the municipal agency, the possibility and severity of the risk of non-compliance of the EAS already built or in project increases. The objective of this research is to study how to model rules for automatic verification of RDC-50 requirements, in the Solibri Model Checker (SMC) tool, using information from the BIM model of the Germano Sinval Faria School Health Center (CSEGSF), located at the Manguinhos Campus of Fiocruz, in Rio de Janeiro. The research methods used were bibliographic and documentary reviews, as well as exploratory research. In this study, the conditions for achieving the objective are presented, the importance of the organization and the information classification system and the modeling of the rule itself in the SMC, for the automatic verification of the minimum areas of the environments of the CSEGSF BIM model, according to the requirements presented in RDC-50. It also presents a reflection on the parameterization of the requirements of RDC-50 and the construction of domain-specific ontologies for various aspects of the SUS system, with its challenges and difficulties.

Authors: dos Santos Maria das Dores , Bampi Aumeri Carlos , Buhler Helena Ferraz
Published: September 2024

COVID-19 is infectious, of zoonotic origin and rapid spread. Among the measures adopted to contain the advance of the disease, the interruption of human activities stood out, such as the closure of industries and transport, actions that proved to be positive for the environment and human health, reflecting in achievements such as the reduction of pollution and respiratory diseases. Several factors have been pointed out for the emergence/re-emergence, emergence and resurgence of infectious diseases, including population growth that intensifies the process of urbanization, globalization, loss of biodiversity, deforestation and land use change. This study aimed to verify the relationship between the socio-environmental problems of the twenty-first century, with a focus on deforestation and the change in land use with the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a narrative review of the literature carried out in the databases of CAPES, SCIELO, PUBMED, GOOGLE SCHOLAR and national and international news sites and public organizations such as the World Health Organization and the Ministry of Health. The analysis of these studies allowed the creation of three categories, namely: 1) Advance of deforestation in Brazil and in the world; 2) Climate change; and 3) Human interference and COVID-19. Deforestation is a human activity associated with the emergence of zoonotic diseases, used to open and expand areas for agriculture and livestock. The practice has brought humans and domestic animals closer to wildlife, in this sense, it dialogues with another situation that is related to the theme expanded in this work, the illegal trafficking of wild animals. The highlighted conditions increase the risks of exposure to pathogens, which may favor the emergence of emerging diseases, such as COVID-19.

Authors: Libonatti Juan Marco de Jesus , Alves Mauro Angelo , Martin Inacio Malmonge
Published: September 2024

The Earth's atmosphere at altitudes between 20 and 40 km is relatively understudied due to the challenging access to this atmospheric layer. Airplanes rarely reach these altitudes, and sounding rockets travel too quickly to remain at this altitude for sufficiently long periods. The only effective way to study this atmospheric layer is through stratospheric balloons. This paper describes a system developed by a team of students from the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA, Brazil), consisting of a system (telemetry, onboard electronics, and data acquisition and storage subsystems) carried by stratospheric balloons to conduct scientific experiments and also serve as a testing platform for systems and components intended for use in nanosats. A balloon flight using this platform, which carried a Geiger-Müller counter, is also described.

Olympic values education: The historical evolution of a pedagogy, review of Binder's 2012 article
Authors: Perovano-Camargo Leonardo
Published: September 2024

The article "Olympic Values Education: Evolution of a Pedagogy" by Deanna L. Binder (2012) explores the evolution of Olympic values pedagogy through three distinct curricular projects. The main focus of the research is the effective integration of Olympic values into formal education and the enhancement of associated pedagogical practices. The goal is to analyze how theoretical principles shape pedagogical practice and how these principles were applied in the creation of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Olympic Values Education Program (OVEP). The methodology used in the article is historical and descriptive, involving a detailed literature review and analysis of specific case studies. Binder argues that the pedagogical practices discussed provide a robust theoretical foundation for Olympic values education, highlighting the creation of the OVEP toolkit that guides the practical implementation of these values. The results indicate that the approach focused on the "lifeworld," which integrates Olympic values into students' daily experiences, is the most effective. However, the research points to the need for additional empirical data and a more critical analysis of the cultural challenges faced. The study concludes that, while Binder’s work offers a significant contribution to the pedagogy of Olympic educational values (joy of effort; fair play; respect for others; pursuit of excellence; and balance between body, will, and mind), the addition of empirical data and a more critical analysis of cultural difficulties could strengthen the research. Critiques of the Olympic ideal and reflections on the paradoxes of Olympic values are also addressed, offering a critical and enriching perspective.

Published: September 2024

This study investigates the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in promoting a sustainable environment within the G-7 countries by testing the Load Capacity Curve (LCC) hypothesis. Additionally, it examines the effects of financial development, the digital economy, and urbanization on the load capacity factor using data from 2010 to 2022. The research employs cross-sectional dependence and slope homogeneity tests, revealing issues of cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity. Panel unit root tests, both first and second generation, confirm that the variables are free from unit root problems. Furthermore, panel cointegration tests indicate that the variables are cointegrated in the long run. To assess the impact of the explanatory variables on the load capacity factor, the study utilizes the Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR). The findings reveal a U-shaped relationship between income and the load capacity factor, supporting the LCC hypothesis in the G-7 region. The results also indicate that AI innovation and financial development have a significant positive correlation with the load capacity factor. In contrast, the digital economy and urbanization are found to significantly reduce the load capacity factor. Robustness checks, including the Driscoll-Kraay standard error, Augmented Mean Group, and Common Correlated Effect Mean Group estimation approaches, validate the findings obtained from the MMQR method. Moreover, the Dumitrescu-Hurlin (D-H) causality assessment is utilized to explore the causal connections between variables. The results reveal a unidirectional causal relationship between income and the load capacity factor. Additionally, bidirectional causal relationships are the remaining explanatory variables and load capacity factors.
Assessing the Impact of Water Quality and Its Significance on Women’s Health in Guatemala
Authors: Lim Chelsea
Published: September 2024

The lack of good quality water in many third-world countries such as Guatemala is a pressing issue that demands immediate attention, among other environmental issues. Although the dangerous effects of poor water quality on children's health are well known and extensively studied, there is relatively less research focusing on water quality's impact on women's health and living conditions. Women in Guatemala are potentially more vulnerable to exposure to toxins and adverse environmental conditions that affect their health differently from men due to diet, behavior, and living conditions. These toxins exposure might lead to various health problems, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), dysmenorrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), parasites, and eczema. 
This paper investigates the current state of water quality in Guatemala through a comprehensive literature review of previous studies. The lifestyle factors affecting women’s health, including age, housing, childbirth, health conditions, and access to medical care, were examined using a set of questionnaire research. Additionally, the survey data from local women in Guatemala provide practical insights into their living conditions and equip us with a deeper understanding of their challenges. The survey findings suggest that over half of the women rate their overall health fairly and face significant challenges in obtaining medical care.

Pengecoran logam adalah suatu proses manufaktur yang menggunakan logam cair dan cetakan untuk menghasilkan bentuk yang mendekati bentuk geometri akhir produk jadi. Logam cair akan dituangkan atau ditekan ke dalam cetakan yang memiliki rongga cetak (cavity) sesuai dengan bentuk atau desain yang diinginkan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah membuat pola cetakan menggunakan media plastisin serta mengetahui cacat yang terjadi pada hasil pengecoran, mengetahui kekurangan dan kelebihan menggunakan cetakan plastisin dan mengetahui penyusutan yang terjadi pada hasil coran. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan pada pengecoran logam tersebut adalah metode experimen, dimana cetakan yang digunakan dari media plastisin. Dari penelitian tersebut diperoleh hasil pengecoran yang memiliki beberapa cacat pada hasil akhir. Cacat yang terjadi yaitu porositas, permukaan yang kasar, dan mengalami penyusutan. Dimana hasil coran memiliki lubang lubang kecil yang diakibatkan oleh udara yang terperangkap pada saat penuangan logam cair. Permukaan coran yang kasar disebabkan oleh cetakan plastisin yang meleleh pada saat cairan logam dituangkan ke cetakan. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengecoran menggunakan cetakan media plastisin kurang efektif karna pada saat proses pengecoran cetakan plastisin meleleh dan menyebabkan banyak cacat pada hasil pengecoran. Temperatur penuangan akan mempengaruhi tingginya porositas coran, di mana semakin tinggi temperatur penuangan menyebabkan porositas coran semakin tinggi.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Tendon injuries of the hand present a diverse spectrum of challenges in emergency medicine, ranging from minor strains to catastrophic ruptures. The superficial anatomy of hand tendons predisposes them to various mechanisms of injury, leading to complex medical scenarios. Here, we present a unique case of flexor tendon exposure secondary to abscess formation and spontaneous rupture, emphasizing the importance of prompt recognition and management of such injuries in the emergency department. Case Report: A 69-year-old male with multiple comorbidities presented with diffuse pain and a pale, pulseless right lower extremity, alongside a left hand exhibiting exposed flexor tendons due to recent abscess drainage. Despite broad-spectrum antibiotics and pain management, the patient underwent above-knee amputation due to vascular compromise. Evaluation revealed a complete flexor tendon rupture likely attributable to infection, necessitating emergent hand surgery at the bedside. Conclusion: Understanding the nuances of tendon injuries is paramount for emergency physicians, given their potential for lifelong disability if inadequately addressed. Awareness of risk factors and appropriate management strategies, including early surgical intervention when indicated, is essential in optimizing patient outcomes. This case serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in hand injuries and underscores the need for vigilance and tailored care in the emergency setting.

The production of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-6 was measured using ELISA methods, and the expression level of the RBP4 gene was assessed using a real-time PCR technique. Results: The results showed dose-dependent effects of the extract on the 3T3-L1 cells. The MTT assay indicated that the hydroalcoholic extract of olive plant leaves has a concentration-dependent effect on cell proliferation (∗∗P ≤ 0.05). The DPPH test results showed a significant decrease in the level of active oxygen in the presence of Olive leaf extract (OLE). The catalase and MDA test results also indicated an increase in antioxidant activity in cells treated with the extract. Conversely, the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-1 and IL-6 increased by 0.05 and 0.01 (pg/mL), respectively, while changes in TNF-α and RBP4 gene expression were insignificant (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The results demonstrated that OLE can enhance the efficiency of antioxidant and inflammatory pathways in the cell and significantly reduce the level of active oxygen in the cell.

Background: Health system responsiveness is critical in managing infectious disease epidemics. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the responsiveness of the health system during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 350 patients who had been discharged from hospitals after recovering from COVID-19 during 2021 - 2022 in Sistan-Baluchistan province, located in the southeastern region of Iran. Data were collected using the World Health Organization health system responsiveness tool through telephone interviews. Descriptive statistics methods were used to determine the responsiveness score. T-tests and one-way analysis of variance were also used to compare the means between groups. Results: The overall score for health system responsiveness was 110.12 ± 13.12, indicating a moderate level of responsiveness. The communication dimension received the highest mean score (30.12 ± 4.73), while the choice of provider dimension had the lowest mean score (5.65 ± 2.37). Significant relationships were found between health system responsiveness and variables such as place of residence (P = 0.01), city of residence (P = 0.001), and household size (P = 0.05). Conclusions: The study identified areas for improvement in health system responsiveness within Sistan-Baluchistan's hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. To enhance patient care and strengthen the healthcare system's responsiveness, health policymakers should implement measures such as developing responsiveness guidelines, establishing a dedicated responsiveness unit, and providing training programs for healthcare professionals. Regular evaluation of responsiveness in hospitals is also crucial.
Într-un Univers în care spațiul și timpul sunt discrete, viteza maximă posibilă este finită. Contracția Lorentz și dilatarea timpului într-un univers discret
Authors: Ionescu Valentin
Published: September 2024

Reamintim că în lucrarea de bază am redefinit noțiunile de spațiu și timp într-o manieră care permite explicarea mai simplă și mai coerentă a unor fenomene descoperite de fizica și cosmologia actuală și care, în plus, permit închiderea unor controverse generate în ultimii zeci de ani.. Vrem să studiem viteza cu care se mișcă un ,,ceva” care pornește de la o celulă de spațiu și trece succesiv prin alte celule de spațiu învecinate, având în vedere că oricare două celule consecutive au o frontieră comună. Ieșirea acelui ,,ceva” dintr-o celulă și intrarea într-o celulă învecinată, adică traversarea unei frontiere, este un eveniment și conform Corolarului 2 din MBBR trebuie să i se asocieze un nou moment de timp diferit de momentul care a marcat traversarea frontierei anterioare. În mod concret, din punctul de vedere al lucrării de baza, acest ”ceva ” reprezintă o anumită cantitate de energie-masă.
Gus Dur’s Interreligious Equality in the Context of Plural Indonesian Society
Authors: Abdul Mohd. Rivaldi
Published: September 2024

In the plural Indonesian society, where there are Muslim, Protestant, Catholic, Budha, Hindu, Konghucu, and Penghayat, interreligious harmony is something that cannot be ignored. In this case, the majoritarianism tyranny is an intolerant source that can crack harmony in religious diversity. This article gives a concept of Gus Dur’s teaching about the principle of interreligious equality. Any main questions have been exposed in this article; How is Gus Dur’s partiality toward the non-Muslim minority? How does Islam, which Gus Dur taught, regard other religious people? And why is Gus Dur’s teaching important in the religious context of plural Indonesian society? To answer the questions, to expose Gus Dur’s teaching in this article, the author explored various of Gus Dur’s writings. In this way, the author used the method of library research. According to some findings in this article, diversity for Gus Dur was not only an idea but also a part of his struggle for humanity. Gus Dur always protected humanity without seeing religious status. Gus Dur’s partiality to the non-Muslim minority was strengthened by his belief that all humans, whatever their religions, are brothers and all are equal. Gus Dur taught the principle of interreligious equality.
A systematic review of healthcare professionals and women's experiences and perceptions of colposcopy method of cervical cancer screening in Nigeria
Authors: Amadi Azubuike , Lawal Muili , Khan Hafiz
Published: September 2024

Background: Cervical cancer continues to pose a significant public health issue in Nigeria, characterized by high rates of incidence and mortality. Colposcopy is integral to the cervical cancer screening process and its early detection. However, the uptake of colposcopy screening in Nigeria remains suboptimal, with various factors contributing to this phenomenon. Comprehending the experiences and perceptions of healthcare professionals and patients concerning colposcopy for cervical cancer screening is vital to enhance screening initiatives and alleviate the impact of cervical cancer in Nigeria. This systematic review aims to identify the gap in knowledge and synthesize the existing literature on the experiences and perceptions of healthcare professionals and patients regarding colposcopy for cervical cancer screening in Nigeria. 
Methods: A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted in Academic search elite, African journals online (AJOL), CINAHL, MBASE, psycho info, Cochrane, Medline (via PubMed) and Scopus databases from 2010 until March 2023. The quality of the included studies was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tool. Thematic analysis was deployed to synthesize the extracted data.
Results: Fourteen (14) studies satisfied the inclusion criteria. Most studies were conducted in developed countries and urban settings. The review revealed key themes that were categorized into four: insufficient knowledge/awareness, emotional factors, cultural/religious factors, and organizational/systemic factors.
 Conclusion: The review identified barriers to colposcopy screening in Nigeria, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve cervical cancer screening rates. Hence, the need for a qualitative study in rural parts of Nigeria to explore the in-depth understanding of patients' and healthcare professionals’ regarding colposcopy screening utilization.
Why are there problems with budgeting in hospitals?
Authors: Karem Langa Esmael
Published: September 2024

When global hospital budgeting was first implemented in Holland in 1983, it was anticipated to be a far more helpful tool for controlling costs than traditional retrospective output reimbursement. There is a discussion of the underlying presumptions of hospital budgeting, including the following: it will incentivize hospitals to increase their efficiency; it won't have a detrimental effect on the standard of treatment; it partially restores hospital autonomy; and hospital administrators are competent to execute greater efficiency. Additionally, consideration is given to the structure of external budgeting, how it affects the connection between insurers and hospitals, and the relationship between planning and budgeting. Hospital budgeting has several implications, which are covered in the second section. Hospital budgeting appears to be a successful strategy for controlling costs; it is associated with a decline in hospital output and impacts hospital administration, policy formation, and the public-private healthcare system. The widespread consensus is that hospital budgeting has considerably more benefits than drawbacks regarding cost containment.
