Published: February 2022

Description du sujet. L'article présente une estimation du renouvellement à moyen terme (dizaines d'années) du carbone profond des sols cultivés. Objectifs. Le stockage de carbone sous forme organique dans les sols est un moyen de limiter l'augmentation du CO2 global et le réchauffement climatique. L'objectif est de proposer une première quantification du renouvellement des horizons profonds (> 30 cm) qui contiennent environ la moitié du carbone organique des sols. Méthode. Nous avons effectué une synthèse d'études de la dynamique du carbone de 41 profils où le renouvellement du carbone est quantifié grâce au traçage isotopique par les abondances naturelles en carbone-13. Résultats. Le renouvellement du carbone profond est en moyenne quatre fois plus lent qu'en surface, mais le flux de renouvellement n'est pas négligeable. La distribution moyenne du flux annuel d'apport de carbone aux matières organiques est de 81 % dans l'horizon 0 - 30 cm et 19 % dans la couche 30 - 100 cm, avec une erreur standard de ± 4 %. À plus long terme (20 ans), le sous-sol (30 - 100 cm) contient en moyenne 23 % du carbone récent du sol. Conclusions. Les matières organiques profondes ne doivent pas être négligées dans les bilans de C et N en réponse à différentes pratiques agricoles, et nous proposons une approximation simple pour ces bilans. Dans le futur, les estimations des évolutions temporelles du stock de carbone profond des sols et de leurs facteurs de variation devront s'appuyer sur les essais agronomiques de longue durée ou la modélisation calée sur des sites fortement instrumentés, et être accompagnées de descriptions pédologiques détaillées.

Published: February 2022

Description of the subject. Phenolic compounds (PCs) are the most abundant secondary metabolites in plants. This work was part of a study that sought to develop rapid screening FT-Raman methods for identifying and quantifying classes and/or types of PCs in the dry extracts of plant products. Objectives. Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy (FT-Raman) coupled with chemometric tools was used to characterize and discriminate four families of phenolic compounds: two important classes of phenolic acids, hydroxybenzoic and hydroxycinnamic acids, as well as their derivatives and flavonoids. Method. For this study, 25 standards of phenolic compounds were used (47 standards in total, taking account of the different brands). Repeatability and reproducibility studies were conducted to verify the Raman assignments of gallic acid. Raman characterization with the most significant spectral bands of phenolic compounds was done using spectra ranging from 1,800 to 50 cm-1. A Fisher test was applied to pre-processed Raman spectra (SNV) and 20 Raman scattering signals were used to differentiate each class of phenolic compounds. Results. Hydroxybenzoic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids, their derivatives and flavonoids have been characterized by Raman spectroscopy; bands have been identified and differentiated within and between groups. Conclusions. The scattering intensities located around 1,600-1,699, 1,300-1,400 and below 200 cm-1 were responsible for differentiating 100% of phenolic compound families, classes and subclasses.

Published: February 2022

Description of the subject. This research note presents a methodology to quantify the tilapia sludge digestion performance in aerobic and anaerobic reactors for aquaponic purpose. Both organic reduction and macro- and microelements mineralization performances were addressed. Objectives. To set up an appropriate methodology to quantify sludge digestion performance in aquaponics. To describe the methodology and illustrate it with some results as example. Method. Equations were adapted to quantify (1) the organic reduction performance in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS) reduction, and (2) the nutrient recycling performance in terms of macro- and microelements mineralization. Results. The equations were applied to data obtained from experimental aerobic and anaerobic reactors as example. Reactors were able to remove at least 50% of the TSS and COD input. The nutrient mineralization was consistent with a 10 — 60% range for all macro- and micronutrients. Conclusions. The methodology provides explicit indicators on the sludge treatment performances for aquaponics. Treating aquaponic sludge onsite is promising to avoid sludge spillage, improve nutrient recycling and save water.

Measuring the Impact of a Social Enterprise
Authors: Opincaru Irina-Sinziana , Crângașu Doina
Published: February 2022

This paper presents the first impact study of a social enterprise in Romania, conducted on behalf of CONCORDIA Humanitarian Organization (Romania) to measure the effects and impact of the social enterprise CONCORDIA Bakery (developed by CHO) in Romania and to evaluate its contribution to social change. We aim to give accounts on how the interventions of a social enterprise can be assessed and put to use for the benefit of the organization in particular and of the larger environment in general. The purpose of the study was to develop and assess CONCORDIA Bakery’s program and activities, using the theory-based evaluation approach in order to better understand its contribution to improving the lives of its beneficiaries, customers, donors and its shareholder, by 1) showing insights of the main intended and unintended impacts achieved by CONCORDIA Bakery, 2) identifying what makes CONCORDIA Bakery work (or not work) and how it might be replicated, improved, adapted or up-scaled elsewhere, 3) exploring and analysing the changes in the external environment of CONCORDIA Bakery that have influenced its results and impact over time and 4) helping set realistic future objectives for CONCORDIA Bakery. The study covers the period 2011-2017 and it was carried out from 1st of August to 15th of December 2018 by the authors, as external evaluators. The evaluation had a strong exploratory component, since it has been the first time for the enterprise and for a Romanian social enterprise to go through such a process. A mix of quantitative and qualitative methods were used, in order to ensure the triangulation of the data obtained and the consistency of our results and conclusions, taking into account all the relevant perspectives. The methods included: documents analysis, in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders and participative observation. Findings confirmed that CONCORDIA’s Social Businesses Model focuses on the impact it creates for beneficiaries rather than creating profits. CONCORDIA Bakery’s goal is in line with the agreed social business definition as it targets explicitly an increase of the employability rate of vulnerable young people and provides on-the-job professional training. In addition to the impact created by increasing the employability of vulnerable young people is also considered a therapeutic intervention in order to build responsibility by helping them to gain self-confidence and improve the abilities for an autonomous life.

Published: February 2022

Within a socio-economic and political context dominated by both the economic crisis and the pressure to find ways to reform and upgrade general interest services and develop sustainable work integration solutions for disadvantaged groups, Romanian decision makers showed interest towards social economy and social enterprise solutions. Starting with 2007 in Romania the key factor that pushed associations and foundations towards the institutionalization as social enterprises has been the progressive need and interest towards the development of income generating activities to enhance their social mission. This paper aims to analyze the role of social enterprises in Romanian welfare system. For this, we identify the challenges and opportunities for SE in the social service system, analyze legislative and fiscal framework impacting on social enterprises development within the welfare service delivery. The paper brings structured information regarding the size, dynamic and profile of social enterprises active in the social sector area in Romania, specific challenges and development perspectives. For each type of social enterprise, the paper identifies its role in the Romanian welfare system.
Social Innovation - Scaling Social Impact
Authors: Spear Roger , Chan Carman Ka Man
Published: February 2022

A recurring theme amongst policymakers and researchers concerned with social innovation is how to increase its social impact, or replicate it elsewhere. This paper draws on the literature to develop a typology of strategies for scaling social impact. It then uses a Danish Case study of an innovative social enterprise to examine the rationale for strategic choices, and issues involved, when the social enterprise ambitiously scales its social impact. This experience also reveals how the strategies evolve over a number of years.
Le recouvrement des coûts

Conscient des enjeux environnementaux du développement durable, l’État Algérien a adopté, depuis le début des années 2000, plusieurs stratégies visant la préservation de l’environnement, notamment en matière de gestion des déchets solides. Ces derniers sont en effet, un des principaux enjeux environnementaux auxquels doivent faire face au quotidien les collectivités locales. Leur gestion s’inscrit dans le cadre du Plan National d’Actions Environnementales et du Développement Durable (PNAE-DD) à travers l’adoption, en 2002, du Programme National de Gestion Intégrée des Déchets Ménagers et Assimilés (PROGDEM). Les déchets ménagers et assimilés (DMA) sont en constante augmentation aussi bien en termes absolus que par habitant. En 2018, la production des DMA a atteint environ 13 millions de tonnes. Ils représentent la fraction la plus importante des déchets produits, toutes catégories confondues (inertes, industriels, …). Il est du ressort des collectivités locales de s’assurer que leur collecte est totale sur l’ensemble de leur territoire. Il leur revient également de trouver en parallèle, des modes de traitement les plus appropriés : enfouissement, valorisation, recyclage, etc. Selon une étude réalisée par la Banque mondiale dans le cadre du Mediterranean Environmental Technical Assistance Program (METAP), une bonne gestion des déchets ménagers est estimée à 4 000 DZD/tonne (MATE, 2004). Cette évaluation est extrêmement élevée au regard du pouvoir d’achat des ménages. La taxe d’enlèvement d’ordures ménagères (TEOM) par ménage, fixée par la loi de finance 2015, se situe entre 1 000 et 1 500 DZD/an. Cependant, les ménages ne participent, au travers de cette taxe, que de manière très faible au coût réel, dans la mesure où le montant réellement collecté de la TEOM ne s’élève qu’à 15 % de ce qui devrait être perçu (MEER, 2018c). Il y a donc nécessité, d’adopter une véritable politique de recouvrement des coûts pour garantir une gestion durable des déchets ménagers et assimilés (DMA). Dans cette contribution, il s’agit de mettre en exergue, la situation de la gestion des déchets ménagers en Algérie et les modes de financement du service à travers, une analyse du contexte socio-économique ainsi que des recettes communales et des coûts de gestion des DMA.
Human factor and economic growth in post-pandemic era
Authors: Dobrosotskiy V. I. , Zankovsky A. N.
Published: February 2022

Despite the optimism associated with new technologies, labour productivity indicators have shown moderate and even negative dynamics over the past two decades. Therefore, the introduction of the latest technologies does not cancel management efforts to improve the efficiency of the human factor, which still remains extremely important. At the same time, a special role is played by the “new” quality of the management team, which has not only the highest professional qualities, but also a special corporate culture based on the new model of the “owner-management” relations. The article proposes the original method of the development of the effective corporate culture that in the dialogue with new technologies can provide a significant breakthrough in improving labour productivity and business competitiveness.
Parties in the digital jungle
Authors: Lavrov I. A.
Published: February 2022

The development of digital technology, Internet communications and social media affects all areas of public life. Politics is no exception. In today’s world, social media are becoming not only a means of transmitting information, but also the habitat of millenials and zoomers. Year after year, more and more digital natives (M. Prensky’s term) are gaining the right to vote in elections. This fact cannot avoid political parties, which are beginning to adapt the use of social media to their own informational and campaigning needs. Social platforms present an opportunity to form a loyal community, which will follow the political process through the prism of the values of the preferred party, and eventually become politically active in the coming elections. The author questions whether the role of social media is so great, what determines it and whether young people engaged in politics through social media are really capable of changing the course of the political process. To answer these questions, a sociological study was conducted that included an analysis of the official accounts of political parties and their members in the main social media operating in Russia. The audience engagement index was compiled and calculated in relation to the results of the elections to the State Duma of the 8th convocation in 2021.
Risk-oriented approach of state control (supervision) and municipal control in relation to secondary schools (sociological survey)
Authors: Titor S. E.
Published: February 2022

The control and supervisory activities’ reforms in Russia are actively underway: a risk-oriented model during organising the control (supervision) is being introduced. Some control and supervisory agencies implement such model from 2015. The Federal Service for Supervision of Education, despite the lack of a legislative framework at the federal level, recommended to the regions to implement elements of a risk-based model independently. In this regard, it is important to analyse what has changed for educational organisations, what is their attitude to new forms and methodologies of control (supervision). The analysis will make it possible to more thoroughly determine the directions of state policy implementation in the field of risk-oriented model of control and supervisory activities, adjust mechanisms, and adopt appropriate recommendations.

Authors: Kovalova A.
Published: February 2022

Представлене дослідження стосується визначення безпеки працюючих на відкритому повітрі при ремонті та реконструкції автомобільних шляхопроводів та будівельних робіт поблизу автомагістралей в умовах постійного шумового навантаження. На підставі аналізу вітчизняних та нормативних досліджень було визначено методологію досліджень виробничого ризику в залежності від вікової категорії працюючих та їх професійного стажу. Предметом дослідження є вплив постійного шумового забруднення на безпеку працюючих відкритого повітря для умов м. Києва. Мета роботи - визначення комплексного виробничого ризику від постійного шумового забруднення для безпеки працівників відкритого повітря. При визначенні сукупного значення виробничого ризику, розглядалися окремо значення ризику захворювання серцево-судинної системи, ризику захворювання нервової системи та ризик захворювання органів слуху. Завдання роботи - на підставі натурних вимірів по обраних автомобільних шляхопроводах та великих перехрестях в залежності від кількості полос руху в м. Києві, здійснено аналіз рівнів постійного шумового навантаження на території виробничих майданчиків працюючих. Встановлено межі шумового навантаження, що у більшості середньозважених та у максимальних значеннях вимірів перевищують нормативний рівень відкритого виробничого майданчика (80дБА). Методи досліджень: натурні виміри здійснювалися прибором «Асистент», методи розрахунку здійснювалися на основі методик діючих міжнародних стандартів та нормативних документів. Наукова новизна полягає в оцінці величин виробничого ризику для умов м. Києва для працюючих на відкритому повітрі від постійного шумового навантаження на протязі 8-годинного робочого дня в залежності від вікових показників та професійного стажу. Отримані результати щодо оцінки ризику сукупного рівня захворювань в залежності від рівнів шуму на автомобільних шляхопроводах м. Києва, свідчать про середній (помірний рівень) для різних вікових груп працюючих. Що стосується значення сукупного агрегованого ризику у випадку максимальних рівнів шумового забруднення, то розрахунки показали, що у випадку працюючих за віком більше 50 років ризик кваліфікується, як високий. Висновки досліджень свідчать, що отримані результати середньозважених і максимальних рівнів шумового забруднення для безпеки працюючих на відкритому повітрі потребують заходів по зниженню шумового навантаження, які слід розробляти з врахуванням середньострокової та короткострокової перспективи (1-3 роки), а також щорічний перегляд значень виробничого ризику.

Published: February 2022

Protein C activity, a novel prognostic marker, was evaluated in patients with gastric dilatation and volvulus in relation to mortality and severity of the disease. Data on the mortality, duration of clinical signs, degree of gastric torsion, gastric necrosis, splenectomy and occurrence of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy were recorded. Blood samples were obtained at selected time periods: T0 = no longer than 30 min before surgery; T1 = first day after surgery; T2 = second day after surgery. In addition to protein C activity assessment, haematological and haemostaseological analysis was also performed. The mean protein C activity was the lowest at T1 and the highest at T2. No significant relationship between protein C activity and mortality, duration of clinical signs, degree of gastric torsion, gastric necrosis, splenectomy and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy was found in patients with gastric dilatation and volvulus. All patients that died during hospitalisation after surgery were patients with decreased protein C activity at T1. Although protein C activity was not found to be a reliable preoperative prognostic marker in patients with gastric dilatation and volvulus, the study results show it might be a promising marker in postoperative monitoring of these patients.

The assessment of the state and problems of the transport and logistics infrastructure of Ukraine using the SWOT analysis method
Authors: Gretskaya N. A.
Published: February 2022

Ukraine is increasing the production of grain crops from year to year. The export is growing. The infrastructure went to Ukraine from the planned economic system. She has designed to meet the needs of the economy of the USSR. Fundamental modernization of infrastructure in Ukraine hasn’t been carried out in the past 30 years. The railroad car fleet has completely worn out. Most of the roads require major repairs. River navigation has underdeveloped. The leading position in the transportation of grain belongs to road transport. He carries out the transportation of grain crops with a significant excess of the permissible weight norms. This practice leads to the destruction of the road surface. Railway transport cannot fully ensure the transshipment of the entire volume of grain during the peak months of the marketing year. The problem of transporting agricultural products, in particular grain and leguminous crops, is relevant not only for Ukraine, but also for most post-Soviet countries: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russian Federation, etc. The features of the functioning of railway, road and river transport in the context of transportation of grain and leguminous crops have analyzed in the article. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of all three modes of transport (railway, water transport, motor transport) in Ukraine have identified using the SWOT analysis method: The situation that has arisen on the Ukrainian Railways has analyzed. Ways to solve the problems associated with the operation of all three modes of transport have formulated. Strengthening the role of the state in the work of the Ukrainian railway has recommended.
Artificial intelligence and creativity
Authors: Stavrovsky I. K.
Published: February 2022

The Lovelace Test is one of the most famous alternatives to the Turing Test. It suggests to use the concept of creativity as a way to estimate the ability of artificial intelligence to think in the same sense as a human being. It is demonstrated in the article that the concept of creativity is too ambiguous to be used as a criteria of anything. It is shown that both versions of the Lovelace Test are inherently behaviorist and therefore cannot prove the ability of a machine to think.
Genre transformation of folk drama in the space of ritual culture
Authors: Hulak N. A.
Published: February 2022

The article presents rare fact of folk tradition recorded by Belarusian scientists in the Rechitsa region during the Minsk-Gomel ethnographic expedition in 1956. A comparative historical study allows us to put forward a hypothesis about the existence of a unique Christmas rite at the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th centuries on the territory of the Belarusian and Ukrainian Polesie. The ceremony is based on a modification of the folk drama “Tsar Maximilians”. There is a reflex of this phenomenon in the ritual known today “Tsars” in the village of Semezhevo, Kopylsky district. The reduced non-stationary form of folk drama penetrated into folklore in the second half of the 19th century. This was facilitated by the cultural interaction of the indigenous population with representatives of the social and professional group of the military. It was among the Russian army that shows of folk drama were developed. The problem of rethinking a number of provisions and simplified assessments accepted in the Belarusian folklore studies is posed.

Habitat loss and fragmentation affect bird communities. Edge area created by fragmentation can affect bird communities through availability of arthropod. The objectives of this study are to examine whether there is any difference in bird diversity and abundance between different plantation types and location between fragments, and to examine if there is any correlation between arthropod and birds. To record Bird community was recorded using point count method with a distant between points 50 m and a fix radius of 25 m in each point for 10 minutes observation. Observation points were placed in each of edge and interior habitat of Cocos nucifera plantation and Syzygium cumini plantation. Arthropod sampling was done twice using yellow trap.  High bird abundance and richness were recorded in edge habitat. A total of 24 bird species of 18 families and 10 orders of arthropod were identified in the study plots. There is no correlation between arthropod and bird abundance. Based on major diet, 46% of bird species were insectivores, while 54% species where other types of eater such as 29% species were frugivores, 9% species were nectarivores, and each 4% of bird species were seabirds, carnivores and scavengers, omnivores, and other bird groups).

The Komodo National Park in the Wallacea region is the komodo dragon’s primary habitats. Published report on the herpetofauna of this national park is mostly concentrated in Komodo island. To increase our knowledge of amphibian and reptile communities in Komodo National Park, we conducted a herpetofauna survey in Komodo and Rinca Island and the nearby coastal area to assess diversity and community similarity and developed a complete checklist of the herpetofauna of Komodo National Park. We conducted a Visual Encounter Survey and put glue traps from February-April 2018 at six locations on Komodo Island (Loh Liang, Loh Wau dan Komodo Village) and Rinca Island (Loh Buaya, Loh Baru, and Rinca Village); and three locations on coastal areas of Flores (Labuan Bajo and Cumbi Village) and coastal area of Sumbawa (Sape) adjacent to Komodo National Park. We found seven species of amphibians and 22 species of reptiles and, however, only two species of amphibians and 18 species of reptiles were found in Komodo and Rinca Island. The highest diversity (H’ = 2.14) is in Loh Buaya (Rinca Island), and the highest evenness (E=0.58) is in Loh Baru (Rinca Island). The highest similarity occurs between Komodo Island and Rinca Island (IS = 0.8). Using data from other research, we have compiled a list of four species of amphibians and 39 species of reptiles occurring at three main islands of Komodo National Park: Komodo island, Rinca Island and Padar Island.

Published: February 2022

Development and habitat loss in Greater Jakarta Metropolitan Area affected snakes and forced them to adapt in urban areas. Snakes in residential areas might increase encounter rate with humans which lead to human-snake conflict. The objectives of this research were to identify the diversity of snakes in residential areas based on rescue effort and to documents effort of those organizations on how to mitigate human-snake conflict through snake relocation. From 2015-2019, 37 snake species were reported found around residential areas in Jakarta Metropolitan Area. Javan spitting cobra Naja sputatrix  and  reticulated python Malayopython reticulatus are the most encountered snakes in residential areas. Jakarta has the highest total encounter of snakes compared to other area but Bogor has the highest diversity of snake species. Snake found in residential areas are sometimes “rescued” by snake reptile enthusiasts who formed a group. Most of these group does not have standard operating procedure when rescuing snake. Human-snake conflict can be mitigated by relocation of snakes, education, and translocation, although the impact of translocation should be evaluated further.

Published: February 2022

Introduction: Male breast cancer (MBC) is a very rare disease, which accounts for approximately 1.0% of all breast cancers and around 0.17%–1.0% of all male malignancies, more common in the age group of 60 years, and 93.7% of cases of MBC are histologically classified as the invasive carcinoma of no special type (ICNS). Treatment (i.e., surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy) and prognosis are similar to breast cancer in women. The aim of this study was to describe five MBC cases and to analyze the occurrence of relapse in a follow-up of 88 months (36–180 months). Case series: The mean age of five patients of the case series was 69 years (57–88 years). All cases were histologically classified as ICNS. The mean tumor size of the series was 2.6 cm (1.0–5.2 cm). One patient of the case series presented with perineural invasion, and another case had axillary node involvement (+5/15). None of the patients had metastasis at the time of diagnosis. All patients underwent surgery. Regarding complementary treatment, one patient underwent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy (i.e., a case with axillary node involvement); two others underwent chemotherapy and hormone therapy; and the remaining two cases underwent treatment only with hormone therapy. One patient had systemic recurrence with the presentation of bone metastasis (75 months of follow-up). The study was approved by a Research Ethics Committee, under CAAE No 30154720.0.0000.5209. Conclusion: With a mean follow-up of 88 months (36–180 months), one of the five patients in the series (20%) showed systemic recurrence with bone metastasis.

Objective: This study aims to assess the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in patients undergoing potentially neurotoxic chemotherapy for breast cancer. Methodology: This is a longitudinal study to assess the prevalence of peripheral neuropathy in women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy at the Hospital das Clínicas, Universidade Federal de Goiás (HC-UFG). The study was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee of HC-UFG, and all participants signed an informed consent form. For the data collection, two instruments were used, namely, Sociodemographic Form and Antineoplastic-Induced Neurotoxicity Questionnaire (AINQ). The Microsoft® Excel 2007 was used to tabulate the data, and the statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS® for Windows® program, version 22.0. Results: A total of 30 patients were included in this study. The average age was 51.2 years, and the sociodemographic evaluation showed that the majority of the participants were married (60%), 46.7% had one or two children, 23.3% were unemployed, and the schooling time was 9.88 years. As for the analysis of the AINQ in the three moments of the study, there was no statistical difference between the use of chemotherapy, body mass index, and age for a higher incidence of symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. The prevalence of symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in the sample was 83.3%, with orofacial symptoms being the most reported (grades 1 and 2). Conclusion: The study confirmed the high prevalence of neurotoxicity symptoms related to chemotherapy, both acute and chronic. The persistence of chronic symptoms suggests that, if chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is correctly diagnosed, it will be possible to control it early, avoiding further damage to patients.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze a relationship between the age range of mammography and BI-RADS, in patients without a high risk for neoplasia. Methodology: This is an epidemiological, cross-sectional, and retrospective study, based on the data from the Breast Cancer Information System, with the variables as follows: period, from January 2009 to July 2015; age group, from 30 to above 70 years old, distributed in groups of 10 years; BI-RADS category, from 0 to 6; high risk, not high risk. The collected data by using the chi-square test, with a significance level of 0.05. Results: A total of 4,419,869 cases were observed. The age group that most performed the examination was 40–49 years old, representing 40.2% (n=1,777,924), followed by the age group 50–59 years old, with 29.5% (n=1,305,317). The age group that did the least was above 70 years, with 5.9% (n=257,338). Among the BI-RADS classification, it can be noted that categories 1 and 2 were the most prevalent, with 45.8 and 40.3%, respectively. There was a significant difference (p0.005) in any of the BI-RADS classifications. Conclusion: It was observed in this research that there is no significant difference between the BI-RADS of mammograms performed in patients aged 50–59 and 40–49 years. In this context, the need for further investigation into the effectiveness of public health policy in effect is highlighted, where the likely increase in public costs with a greater number of mammograms does not equate to costly cancer treatment.

Objectives: In view of the prominent incidence and morbidity (especially cosmetic and psychological) associated with breast cancer, it was intended to demonstrate the evolution of the surgical approach of this pathology in women operated at the Hospital Geral de Palmas (HGP), in the pre- and post-training course in breast oncoplasty (BO) by mastologists. Methodology: A retrospective cohort study of surgery for breast cancer in women performed from July 2013 to June 2016 at the HGP. The study criteria were based on patients’ identification and respective age, date of surgery, and the type of surgery, either reconstructive or radical. The number of reconstructive surgeries was compared between the period before the end of the training (pre-course, July 2013, to December 2014) and the period that followed (post-course, January 2015 to June 2016). The descriptive statistics and the comparison of the variables were analyzed using the software IBM®SPSS® Estatistics 20.0. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used for normality analysis and the one-sample chisquare test for expected distribution with one degree of freedom (DF). The association between the type of surgery and the period (pre- or post-course) was assessed with Pearson’s chi-square (χ2 -P) and its subsequent continuity correction (CC), likelihood ratio (λLR), and Fisher’s exact test by linear-by-linear association (FEL-LA). Significance level α=5% was adopted. Results: Records of 94 surgeries performed before and 134 after training were found. Of these, the percentage of reconstructive practices increased from 5.3% (2013–2014) to 53.7% (2015–2016), with a significant association with the completion of training in BO (χ2 -P=57.891; CC=55.747; λLR=67.533; FEL-LA=57.637; DF=1; p<0.001). Conclusion: The training in BO provides better aesthetic conditions and, therefore, better quality of life after surgery, in addition to allowing assistance to more patients, regardless of the plastic surgery team dedicated to oncoplastic procedures.
