Authors: Tomaz Deivid Adriano Gasparin , Danielli Letícia Jacobi , Franchi Silvester
Published: January 2025

O conhecimento de técnicas de primeiros socorros por professores de Educação Física se faz necessário dado o ambiente dinâmico em que atuam, onde acidentes como quedas, torções, fraturas, desmaios e engasgamentos são comuns. Em ambientes escolares, especialmente durante a realização de atividades físicas, é frequente a ocorrência de lesões que exigem uma intervenção rápida. Além disso, a capacidade de agir prontamente e com segurança é especialmente relevante, já que o tempo de resposta até a chegada de uma equipe especializada pode ser determinante para o desfecho do atendimento. Neste contexto, este estudo avaliou o conhecimento de professores de Educação Física da rede municipal de Chapecó sobre práticas de primeiros socorros, identificando lacunas e competências na aplicação adequada das técnicas. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa quantitativa e descritiva, utilizando um questionário com 24 perguntas aplicadas a 66 professores, abordando temas como fraturas, hemorragias, desmaios, convulsões e queimaduras. Os resultados indicaram que 89,4% dos professores relataram ter recebido algum treinamento em primeiros socorros durante sua formação acadêmica, contudo, apenas 51,5% afirmaram sentir-se seguros para aplicar essas técnicas em situações de emergência. Observou-se alto índice de acertos em questões relacionadas ao manejo de queimaduras, convulsões e engasgamentos; entretanto, índices menores foram verificados para técnicas avançadas como reanimação cardiopulmonar. Estes achados sugerem que os professores possuem conhecimento teórico básico em primeiros socorros, porém apresentam insegurança na aplicação prática, especialmente em técnicas mais complexas indicando a necessidade de capacitação e atualizações periódicas.

Published: January 2025

Essa pesquisa busca encontrar formas de melhorar a gestão dos estoques de embalagens na indústria de processamento de cacau, com foco em uma multinacional localizada na Bahia. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de uma revisão de literatura e análise de documentos para entender como as embalagens primárias, secundárias e terciárias são atualmente geridas e identificar onde estão as ineficiências e oportunidades de redução de custos. Foram avaliadas as principais causas dos problemas nos inventários e como essas falhas afetam a eficiência e os custos operacionais da empresa. Os resultados mostraram que a falta de sistemas automatizados de gerenciamento e a pouca integração entre os setores de planejamento, compras, produção e armazém geram várias ineficiências na gestão dos estoques. Para enfrentar esses desafios, o estudo sugere implementar inventários cíclicos, reorganizar o layout do armazém, treinar melhor os colaboradores e integrar as operações com tecnologias mais modernas, como sistemas de gerenciamento de armazéns (WMS).
Uso do gênero textual no desenvolvimento das funções psicológicas superiores na educação infantil
Authors: Stefanini Marlene Aparecida Ramos
Published: January 2025

O presente estudo é analisar as contribuições dos gêneros textuais no desenvolvimento das Funções Psicológicas Superiores na educação infantil. Fundamentada nos estudos de Vygotsky, Leontiev e Bakhtin, a investigação considera que a aprendizagem ocorre por meio de interações sociais mediadas por signos e ferramentas desenvolvidos ao longo da história humana. Mesmo crianças pequenas conseguem aplicar conhecimentos adquiridos em seu contexto social. No entanto, para que o aprendizado e o desenvolvimento sejam potencializados, a interação com indivíduos mais experientes é indispensável. Nesse processo, o ambiente sociocultural desempenha papel crucial, sendo a mediação cultural essencial para a formação de habilidades cognitivas mais complexas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa e bibliográfica, realizada por meio de revisão sistemática de literatura, com base em artigos, dissertações e teses disponíveis nas plataformas Scientific Electronic Library Online e Instituto Brasileiro de Informação em Ciência e Tecnologia, entre 2018 e 2022.O estudo demonstra que as Funções Psicológicas Superiores não são inatas, mas emergem gradualmente conforme a criança interage com o meio social. Assim, o professor da educação infantil deve planejar práticas pedagógicas alinhadas às experiências dos alunos, permitindo que eles avancem de uma condição natural para uma sociocultural. O uso dos gêneros textuais nas atividades pedagógicas é um recurso eficaz nesse processo. Eles não apenas ajudam na internalização de comportamentos culturais, mas também promovem um aprendizado significativo, alinhado ao contexto sociocultural da criança. Dessa forma, o professor atua como mediador, atribuindo significados e guiando o aluno na construção de seu funcionamento psicológico.

Authors: Mehta Bina , Sau Sayanti , Patel Dhruv , Rai Akanksha , Das Bipasha , Takidar Simin Khaleeluzzama
Published: January 2025

Medical writers maintain a fine balance between data transparency obligations and personal data protection in clinical reports. Hence, we must stay informed of data protection requirements outlined in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) 2016/679 and their interaction with data transparency requirements of the EU Clinical Trials Regulation (EU-CTR) 536/2014 and EMA Policy 0070. Medical writers need to understand the core concept of personal data versus anonymised data and the differences between working for a data controller versus working for a data processor. This article explores how a clinical research organisation, as the data processor, assists client companies, as the data controller, fulfil transparency obligations, illustrated by a successful collaboration model. We examine how medical writers contribute to an organisation’s disclosure-readiness as well as promote the value of a disclosure-informed medical writer’s upstream impact as clinical reports anonymisation specialists throughout the clinical trial lifecycle.

Authors: Sak Justyna , Nowiński Michał , Król Dominika , Fus-Mazurkiewicz Laura , Mazurkiewicz Wojciech
Published: January 2025

Obesity is one of the most common conditions that affect women of childbearing age. Abnormal body weight in pregnant women carries short-term as well as long-term consequences, both for the mother and her offspring. Obesity can contribute to infertility, thereby making it difficult to conceive a child. In the first trimester of pregnancy, it can cause spontaneous miscarriages. At the same time, it is associated with abnormal development of the fetus and, at a later stage of life, the child. However, carrying out appropriate education, leading to women’s self-monitoring can significantly contribute to reducing or maintaining normal body weight - and thus help reduce the occurrence of complications caused by obesity. The purpose of this article was to conduct a literature review to assess the impact of obesity occurring in women of childbearing age on the emergence of possible complications in her and her offspring.

Published: January 2025

A Instrução Normativa nº 3, de 9 de junho de 2017, da Controladoria Geral da União, aprovou o referencial técnico que se posicionou como um instrumento de convergência das boas práticas internacionais de auditoria interna no âmbito do Poder Executivo Federal. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo principal analisar a percepção de auditores e auditados de unidades do Exército Brasileiro quanto à adesão ao processo de convergência às boas práticas internacionais de auditoria interna. A análise foi realizada pela lente da Teoria Institucional para estudar as mudanças ocorridas neste novo paradigma. Uma amostra com 199 respondentes, sendo 58 auditores e 141 auditados responderam uma survey com quatro blocos de questões. A partir destes blocos, foram desenvolvidas as hipóteses de pesquisa que foram submetidas ao teste de diferença de média (t-student). A análise quantitativa dos dados coletados permitiu chegar aos resultados de rejeição das hipóteses nulas a uma significância de 1%. Os resultados mostram que tanto os auditores, bem como aos auditados percebem a adesão do Exército Brasileiro às boas práticas internacionais de auditoria interna. No entanto, na análise qualitativa dos blocos destinados aos auditores, constata-se que apesar da convergência ser significativa, há desafios a serem contornados, no que diz respeito a maior capacitação dos profissionais da auditoria interna.

Addressing key concepts such as “decolonialism,” “psychiatric reform,” and “schizoanalysis” and attempting to integrate them constitutes both a challenge and a step toward reclaiming an episteme of the human psyche that contemplates a more humane clinical practice and that acts rigorously on the social space that exists according to the perception and appropriation of the social subject. In this chapter, it is possible to understand the intersection between the colonized reality and the predisposition to mental illness through a symbolic system that renders lives invisible and less susceptible to mourning or identification of belonging without the use of a mask. The consequences of this reflect the negligence of the alienated colonized person regarding their own condition, causing them to signify and see the world through the lens of colonized thinking and reinforced by corrosive institutions that crystallize these concepts.

Therefore, Deleuze and Guattari's schizoanalysis emerges as a decolonial power to destroy the bonds of the individual's desiring machine and construct, through group devices, schizodrama and cartography, its reaffirmation as an existence endowed with intrinsic value even in the face of the cultural clash between the colonial hegemonic culture and the countercultures and diverse existences.

Published: January 2025

This work refers to the modeling and computer simulation of PET mini-rockets with air and water propulsion and focuses on the development of a computer program for flight prediction of mini-rockets with water and air propulsion. The specific objectives of this work were: design and construction of a wind tunnel; experimental measurement of the drag coefficients of mini-rockets in a wind tunnel; construction of launch bases for mini-rockets to validate the flight prediction computer program; mini-rockets design and development of a computer program for flight prediction of mini-rockets. The methodology began with the design and assembly of a wind tunnel to determine the drag coefficient of mini-rockets. A launch base for mini-rockets with water and air propulsion was developed, built and used. The thrust values ​​of several mini-rockets were determined experimentally on a bench keeping the mini-rocket fixed. The analysis of images and videos was performed during the bench test, determining the water flow rate at the rocket nozzle outlet and determining the thrust profile of the mini-rockets (2-liter PET). The modeling and simulation of the flight prediction were developed from two systems of differential equations, based on the equations of conservation of mass and momentum, which were solved by the numerical method of Runge Kutta. It was necessary to solve two systems of nonlinear differential equations, one for the Propulsion Phase and the other for the oblique launch. The computer program has user-defined data inputs that generate the various outputs in matrix format or in the format of figures. The simulation of the flight prediction of the mini-rocket resulted in figures that contain the most important flight parameters. The results of the computer program were validated through field launches of the mini-rockets and it was found that it is an important tool for the design of mini-rockets intended for the reforestation of degraded areas.

The Role of Serverless Architectures in Revolutionizing FinTech Solutions
Authors: Bayya Anil Kumar
Published: January 2025

The evolution of serverless architectures has revolutionized how FinTech solutions are developed and deployed, offering a new paradigm for achieving scalability, cost-efficiency, and streamlined operations. Serverless computing, characterized by its event-driven model and pay-as-you-go billing, eliminates the need for managing the underlying infrastructure, allowing developers to focus solely on building and improving application functionality. This paper investigates the transformative impact of serverless technologies on the FinTech sector, highlighting their role in enhancing transaction processing, scalability, and operational efficiency. Key technologies such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions are analyzed for their specific contributions to the financial domain. These services enable FinTech applications to handle high transaction volumes dynamically while maintaining minimal latency and robust fault tolerance. Features like automatic scaling and integration with other cloud services make serverless platforms suited for real-time financial operations such as payment processing, fraud detection, and portfolio management. However, despite their numerous advantages, serverless architectures present unique challenges, including cold start latency, limited execution time, and compliance with industry standards like PCI DSS and GDPR. Strategies for overcoming these challenges are discussed, alongside best practices for optimizing serverless workflows. Real-world case studies demonstrate the successful implementation of serverless architectures in FinTech, showcasing significant improvements in performance metrics such as uptime, transaction throughput, and cost-effectiveness. The paper concludes with future perspectives on how serverless computing, combined with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain, will continue to shape the FinTech landscape.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to evaluate the health risks linked to heavy metal concentrations in Clarias gariepinus harvested from earthen and concrete fishponds in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The concentration of heavy metals was determined through atomic absorption spectrometry, and the associated health risks were evaluated using various exposure models, including Estimated Daily Intake (EDI), Target Hazard Quotient (THQ), and Hazard Index (HI). The results showed that in earthen ponds, cadmium (0.174–0.301 mg/kg) and lead (0.112–0.84 mg/kg) levels were below WHO/FEPA limits, while nickel, zinc, and copper concentrations were also within safe ranges. However, iron in sample B (11.464 mg/kg) exceeded the standard, posing potential risks. In concrete ponds, cadmium (1.257 mg/kg) and lead (5.376 mg/kg) levels were significantly above the recommended limits, highlighting serious health risks. Zinc and copper concentrations remained safe, but iron levels (10.068 mg/kg) surpassed the standard, indicating health concerns. Analysis of the EDI for all heavy metals across the earthen and concrete ponds revealed that all values were below safe limits, confirming the safety of consuming African catfish from these ponds. The THQ values for all metals were below 1, indicating no significant non-carcinogenic health risks. Similarly, the HI values for both pond types were well below the threshold of 1.0, confirming negligible cumulative risk from heavy metal exposure. In conclusion, there is no non-carcinogenic risk associated with the consumption of African catfish from earthen and concrete fishponds for the residents of Port Harcourt. Despite the low health risk, regular monitoring is recommended, especially due to the potential for bioaccumulation of cadmium and lead, which can pose long-term health concerns.

Published: January 2025

Macro-zoobenthos are aquatic benthic invertebrates that inhabit freshwater ecosystems and act as bioindicators of ecosystem health. This study evaluates the ecological health of the snow-fed Kali River system of Uttarakhand, India, by examining macrozoobenthos taxonomy, diversity, and ecological dynamics. Monthly samples were collected on a yearly basis from three ecologically distinct sites along the river, using stratified sampling methods. Standard methods were used for benthos collection, identification, classification, species diversity, and alpha-beta diversity indices. Taxonomic identification and diversity index analysis revealed 79 genera and 2,458 individuals from three major phyla: Arthropoda (52 families, 76 species), Annelida (1 family, 1 species), and Mollusca (2 families, 2 species). Diversity indices, including Simpson (0.69-0.79), are highest in July and lowest in December. Shannon Wiener (H') index values (1.37 to 1.74) peaked in June and dipped in January. The evenness index (0.66 to 0.80) was highest in July and lowest in December. Margalef Index (0.91 to 1.54) peaked in August and was lowest in January. Equitability index values (0.73 to 0.89) were highest in July and lowest in September. Whittaker's beta diversity analysis yielded a value of 0.4433, signifying substantial dissimilarity in community composition.  These findings highlight macrozoobenthos as vital bioindicators, offering key data for river management and biodiversity. They also highlight the need for long-term monitoring and physicochemical integration.

The present study was conducted to compare CIDR + Ovsynch, Double PG protocol’s synchronisation effect on recipient cows after IVF-ET (Invitro Fertilization - Embryo Transfer). Since there is a positive effect of synchronisation on conception rate, protocol with higher synchronisation efficiency and conception rate can be determined under this study. Invitro Fertilization technology increases the genetic gain by reducing the generation interval. It helps to utilize a female cattle genetic potential fully and produce greater number of embryos in short duration with utilization of less semen. In vitro Production of embryos can be used to produce genetically proven animals with a good performance for improving dairy production. 85 animals were selected randomly and assigned into 3 groups. Group 1 (CIDR+ Ovsynch), Group 2 (Double PG) and Group 3 (control). Embryo transfers were done into these recipient cows by using nonsurgical method after day 7 of estrus by depositing the embryos in cranial or middle third of uterine horn on ipsilateral side of ovary having CL. The estrus response rates, overall conception rate and cervical transfer scores were found to be 60.60%,18.75% and 66.67 % in CIDR+ Ovsynch protocol, 60.00%,15.78% and 16.67 % in Double PG protocol, 58.33%, 0% and 16.67 % in natural estrus in recipient cows. The mean BCS and mean CL diameter was 3.07 ± 0.13 and 21.56±1.13 mm, 2.53 ± 0.07 and 14.90±0.59 in pregnant and non pregnant recipients respectively. Conception rate was found higher in animals having vacuolated CL (18.18%) when compared to animals having Compact CL (13.79%) and those receiving Expanded blastocyst (23.80%) than blastocyst (5.26%) when the transport time was within 3hrs (19.04%) when compared to 5-7hrs (10.52%). Overall, higher synchronisation, eligible animals for transfer and conception rates were observed with timed ET in CIDR + Ovsynch protocol than in Double PG and natural estrus animals.

Genetic variation is regarded as a key factor for adaptation to the changing environment, therefore, in this study, genetic variations of Labeo catla were analysed using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD). The Catla (Labeo catla) seeds were procured from three distinct geographical locations viz., West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. The growth performance of Catla were conducted for period of 120 days under different environmental and management conditions. Growth trials resulted better performance of Andhra Pradesh stock followed by West Bengal and Karnataka. For assessment of genetic variation 140 decamer primers were screened, out of which, 6 primers (OPA02, OPA04, OPA07, OPA10, OPB07 and OPB10) that yielded consistent and significant polymorphism were selected for RAPD analysis which indicated West Bengal stock being more polymorphic (60.55%) in comparison with Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh stocks. Higher Shannon's diversity (0.2957) and Nei's heterozygosity (0.2017) was observed in the West Bengal stock. In terms of genetic identity and genetic distance, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh stocks showed a genetic distance of 0.7101 and a minimum Genetic identity of 0.4916, while West Bengal and Karnataka stocks indicated a maximum genetic identity of 0.6290 and a minimum genetic distance of 0.4637. The study also showed Karnataka stock being closely related to West Bengal stock when compared to Andhra Pradesh stock. The r2 values of 0.00238 showed a positive correlation between the percentage of polymorphism and mean body weight attained by different stocks of Labeo catla.

Authors: V Jina Sruthi , P Asha
Published: January 2025

India is a country where more than 70% of its population relies on its agricultural production. Excess production of crops leads to contamination by pests and to prevent these pesticides are in wide use. Chlorpyrifos is a pesticide commonly used due to its broad-spectrum activity. It is highly toxic and does not get degraded easily leading to irreversible hazards to the environment. The process of bioremediation involves the all-encompassing action of microbes, including aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and fungi. Most of the earlier studies involved the direct use of microbes or their enzymes in the bioremediation processes. In the present study we have attempted bioremediation of soil samples harnessed with chlorpyrifos at two different concentrations (10% & 20%) using crude fruit-vegetable waste biomass. The results of the study proved an exemplary reduction in the COD values as well as an enhancement in the essential nutrients (N,P,K) in the soil. Chlorpyrifos was completely degraded into its intermediary compounds phosphorothioic acid and1-methyl dodecyl benzene within a span of 30 days.

Цель работы — проанализировать основные изменения в системе социального страхования и нормативной базы экспертизы временной нетрудоспособности в период с 30-х гг. XX в. — первых десятилетий XXI в. (до момента создания Социального фонда России), дать описание используемых показателей, характеризующих временную нетрудоспособность (ВН) и  изучить их основные изменения. Использован контент-анализ 42 нормативных документов, методических материалов по экспертизе ВН, учетно-отчетной документации, сборников статистической информации регионального и федерального уровней. Рассмотрены основные изменения в управлении системой социального страхования на случай ВН,  инансирования страховых выплат, функций листка нетрудоспособности, некоторых аспектов экспертизы ВН. На основании нормативных документов показана причина перехода от комплекса показателей заболеваемости с временной утратой трудоспособности, рассчитываемых в советский период, к показателям, характеризующим состояние ВН в настоящее время.

The purpose of the work is to analyze the main changes in the social insurance system and the regulatory framework for examination of temporary disability in the period from the 30s of the 20th century to the first decades of the 21st century (until the creation of the Social Fund of Russia), give a description of the indicators used for characteristic of the term temporary disability (TD) and study their main changes. The content analysis of 42 regulatory documents, methodological materials for the examination of TD, accounting and reporting documentation, digests of statistical information of the regional and federal levels was used. The main changes in the management of the social insurance system concerning the event of TD, the financing of insurance payments, the functions of the sick leave, and some aspects of the examination of TD cases are considered. Based on normative documents, the reason for the transition from a set of indicators of morbidity with temporary disability, calculated in the Soviet period, to indicators characterizing the state of TD nowadays , is shown.
АНАЛИЗ СЛУЧАЕВ КРИТИЧЕСКИХ АКУШЕРСКИХ СОСТОЯНИЙ В РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ ЗА 2021–2023 ГОДЫ ПО ДАННЫМ РЕГИСТРА КРИТИЧЕСКИХ АКУШЕРСКИХ СОСТОЯНИЙ

Регистр критических акушерских состояний (далее — Регистр КАС) является источником персонифицированных и агрегированных данных по случаям КАС в Российской Федерации с 2021 года. Цель работы — проведение анализа случаев КАС в Российской Федерации с 2021 по 2023 годы. Для анализа использовались данные аналитического блока регистра КАС по случаям за 2021–2023 годы. Регистр КАС стартовал с 8249 случаев КАС в 2021 году. На пике пандемии COVID-19 под наблюдением ежедневно находились до 230 пациенток. Частота применения искусственной вентиляции легких и особенно экстракорпоральной мембранной оксигенации резко снизилась после смены штамма вируса дельта-варианта SARS-CoV-2 на омикрон (начало 2022 года). Изменения в характеристиках случаев КАС связаны с окончанием пандемии: в 2023 году практически не регистрировались случаи КАС, вызванные COVID-19. Отмечается двукратный рост телемедицинских консультаций с ФГБУ «НМИЦ АГП им. В.И. Кулакова» Минздрава России по вопросам КАС за 2021–2023 годы, связанный как с общим увеличением консультаций, так и повышением дисциплины по их фиксации в Регистре КАС. Изменения в 2023 году по сравнению с 2021 и 2022 годами в общей статистике и характеристике случаев КАС связаны с окончанием пандемии COVID-19, окончанием формирования полноценной системы оповещения о случае КАС, настройкой работы акушерских дистанционных консультативных центров и центров телемедицины.

The maternal near-miss Register (MNM Register) has been a source of personalized and aggregated data on obstetric “near-miss” cases in Russia since 2021. Purposes and tasks: to analyze obstetric “near-miss” cases in Russia from 2021 to 2023. For the analysis, data from the analytical block of the MNM Register on cases for 2021-2023 were used. The MNM Register started with 8,249 cases in 2021. At the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, up to 230 patients were monitored daily. The frequency of mechanical ventilation and especially extracorporeal membrane oxygenation decreased sharply after the change of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta to Omicron (early 2022). Changes in the characteristics of obstetric “near-miss” cases are associated with the end of the pandemic — in 2023, there were practically no obstetric «near-miss» cases caused by COVID-19. There has been a twofold increase in telemedicine consultations with the Federal State Budgetary Institution “NMIC AGP named after V.I. Kulakov” of the Ministry of Health of Russia on obstetric “near-miss” cases issues for 2021–2023, associated with an overall increase in consultations and an increase in discipline for their registration in the MNM Register. Changes in 2023 compared to 2021 and 2022 in the general statistics and characteristics of obstetric “near-miss” cases are associated with the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, the end of the formation of obstetric “near-miss” cases notification system, the adjustment of the work of regional obstetric remote consultation centers and telemedicine centers.

В статье освещается проблема организации доступности всех видов стоматологической помощи для населения, проживающего в условиях стремительно растущих районовСанкт-Петербурга. В качестве решения авторы предлагают создать на базе центральных поликлиник стоматологические отделения, а также пересмотреть и усовершенствовать организацию стоматологической службы в районах с массовой жилой застройкой путем инкорпорирования данных отделений в структуру жилых комплексов, где пациенты смогут получать первичную медико-санитарную помощь. Подобная система позволит снизить нагрузку на центральные поликлиники и обеспечить доступность стоматологической помощи для всех групп населения. В статье также даны рекомендации по оснащению медицинским оборудованием, строительным и штатным нормативам для центральных поликлиник и стоматологических отделений. В качестве примера разработана модель стоматологического отделения на базе СПб ГБУЗ «Стоматологическая поликлиника № 4» Выборгского района.

The article highlights the problem of making conditions for accessibility to all types of dental care for the population living in rapidly growing areas of St. Petersburg. As a solution of the problem, the authors propose to establish dental departments based on central polyclinics, as well as to revise and improve the organization of dental services in areas with mass residential construction by incorporating these departments into the structure of residential complexes, where patients can receive primary medical and sanitary assistance. Such a system will help reduce the burden on central polyclinics and ensure the availability of dental care for all population groups. Additionally, the article provides recommendations on equipping residential complexes with medical equipment, construction, and staffing standards demanded for central polyclinics and dental departments. The article considers a model of forming out a dental department on an example the St. Petersburg State Budgetary Healthcare Institution “Dental Polyclinic № 4” of the Vyborgsky District.
