O artigo comenta a narrativa do sujeito no cotidiano do fazer médico a escuta que se torna essência para o cuidado colaborativo e base para promoção da saúde do indivíduo. A escuta é a ferramenta proposta pela Medicina Narrativa para permear o encontro clínico e facilitar a compreensão de que a atenção é um atributo da presença e do interesse pelo outro. São trazidas duas situações em que histórias de vida acontecem no cenário de saúde em que pessoas – médicos, pacientes e seus familiares – são protagonistas do cuidado. Conclui-se que a evidência científica não basta, quando não ancorada no indivíduo e seu contexto. E que profissionais de saúde ao utilizarem a escuta atenta da narrativa pessoal compreendem melhor o adoecimento e permitem que o sujeito que sofre tenha condições de viver para além de sua doença.

Published: February 2022

A Medicina Narrativa busca contribuir para a formação do profissional médico almejado nas diretrizes curriculares de 2014: humanista, ético, com responsabilidade social e com capacidade crítica para atuar nos diferentes níveis de atenção à saúde. Esse desafio pressupõe competências narrativas que a medicina narrativa busca desenvolver ao utilizar obras literárias e filmes, entre outras manifestações artísticas, no ensino médico. Nesse artigo apresentamos exemplos de inserção de três filmes e um texto literário em disciplinas que se caracterizam por conteúdos extensos e eminentemente técnicos, com pouco espaço para discussão de questões do processo de adoecimento que vão além desses aspectos. Essa fragmentação no ensino se reflete numa fragmentação no cuidado e nesse artigo apresentamos algumas sugestões de como introduzir nas disciplinas de conteúdos mais específicos, através das artes, discussões extremamente relevantes para o cuidado integral ao paciente.

Published: February 2022

Land degradation is widespread and a serious threat affecting the livelihoods of many. It was found that the prospect of restoring degraded lands is technically promising using area exclosure. Data on vegetation were gathered from 90 quadrants from exclosures of different ages and 30 from adjacent free grazing lands. The seedling and sapling inventory were done by two subplots of 2 x 5 m established at the beginning and the end of the baseline on opposite sides of the main plot. A total of 27 sapling species belonging to 16 families was recorded. Sapling density ranges from 1000 to 21,000 saplings per ha (3197 ± 720). Fabaceae is the dominant family in the sapling. Similarly, a total of 17 seedling species belonging to 11 families was recorded. The overall seedling density ranges from 1000 to 12,000 seedlings per ha (2897 ± 980). Like sapling, fabaceae is the dominant family in the seedling. Analysis of seedling and sapling density indicated that both exclosures and free grazing areas were found to be dominated by few species. Local communities’ participation, incorporation of indigenous ecological knowledge, is crucial for long-term success of rehabilitation activities.

Neutraceutical is combination of two words nutrition and pharmaceutical. The right amount of Neutraceutical is taken for the optimal healing and with fewer side effects. A Neutraceutical is a substance can be used in necessity of vitamins required by the body in order to full fill the demand of food which can be a curative as well as therapeutically used. This research was conducted to check the percentage of trace elements of zinc, copper iron, and lead, in the seven Neutraceutical products by the help of atomic absorption spectrum which are frequently used by the public of Quetta city i-e capital of Province of Baluchistan. The Physio-chemical properties like thickness, diameter, weight variation, dissolution, friability, are also checked and compared to the specification given in USP and BP pharmacopeia to find out that during manufacturing SOPs are followed or not. The seven empty bottles were selected to make solution of Neutraceutical in different products we washed every tablet with methanol in order to protect these bottles from germs, dust or any other contamination. The results obtained by quality control tests indicate that there was much deviation in the weight variation and hardness among these tablets of same batch but no deviation between thickness and diameter of these tablets. The result obtained by atomic absorption showed that percentage of these trace elements was more or less than the recommended limits when compared to specification given in USP and BP pharmacopeia. The concentration of these elements has much concern with the therapeutic efficacy of the Neutraceutical. The high concentration of lead is very much toxic to the lungs, liver and kidney. As well as the high concentration of iron, copper, zinc also affect the normal physiology of human being. It was concluded from this research that SOPs were not followed during manufacturing. So manufacturer should take consideration in respect to these formulations, SOPs should be followed as well as pre formulation studies and quality control tests should performed during all development procedures.

Scope Creep Monitors Level of Satisfaction, Cost of Business and Slippery Slope Relationships Among Stakeholders, Project Manager, Sponsor and PMO to Execute Project Completion Report
Authors: Farok G. M. G. , Garcia Jose A.
Published: February 2022

Scope creep is a change which is an update or addition to the whole or a part of project has been requested when the project is running on significantly an underway. Scope creep increases work with level of satisfactions off as well as any one would expect, but over time the project seems to get bigger and bigger while his or her price remains the same. The stakeholder either seems to think that the “extra work” is within the scope of the original agreement, or simply doesn’t realize that he or she is asking for more than was originally agreed. Either way, the project is losing money. Scope creep is a slippery slope and can be difficult to recover from. Once project manager accepts scope creep from one client s/ he is setting a precedent for the rest, and although s/ he may not have to physically hand over money as a result of scope creep, the effect is essentially the same. More time spent on a project than sponsor anticipated puts s/ he out of pocket.
Framework and Assessment of Conversational Virtual Humans as Role-players in Simulated Social Encounters with People
Authors: Hart John L. , Proctor Michael D.
Published: February 2022

As technology advances, people increasingly converse with computer conversational agents serving in a personal assistant role such as Siri or Cortona. Beyond the personal assistant role, a virtual humans may substitute for a person in another role during a social encounter in a simulated environment. From an experiential or pedantic training perspective, the resulting simulated social encounter may provide a forum by which real people may gain social skills. This article reviews advances in technology and science of virtual humans in faceto-face social encounters with people. An assessment framework is proposed based on a modification of the Schroeder, Adesope, & Gilbert framework [1]. Conversational attributes include verbal content and expression and nonverbal behavior such as head position or inclination, micro and macro facial or body emotional expression, eye gaze and direction, and other facial and other bodily gestures. Using that framework, ten instantiations of virtual humans are analyzed with respect to simulating a person in a bi-directional conversation. Findings and discussion address the question: can a virtual human truly be a social partner with a person for the purpose of social skills training? Within a social skills learning setting, analysis raises concern about the impact of textual data concurrently displayed with verbal message content and expression, and nonverbal behavior. Suggested future advanced technology research includes virtual human eye tracking technology in order to a better understand the cognitive science and behavioral responses associated with periods of engagement and boredom during interactions with a person.

Economic Status of the Aged Population: An Overview of Indian Literature
Authors: Hariharan R.
Published: February 2022

This paper reviews the economics status of aged persons in India. Aged Persons will be one of the major policy concerns of the twenty-first century. Population ageing will affect every single individual of the society in many ways. The review analysed economic status of  the aged persons based on their family status, income status before and after retirement, saving and borrowing status of the aged persons in India. As the country is ageing, this will affect the economy, because the economic needs of the society will be different in an ageing society. Every ageing nation suffers from over dependency and lesser participation of younger Human Resources in productive processes. It is felt that the retired ageing populations start using the nation’s resources for social security needs, which is estimated to be a big burden on the exchequer of the state. Thus, the impact of ageing on Indian economy is multi-faced, which includes production, consumption, labour force and social expenditure on retirement. The developed world has already witnessed this and is looking for options to overcome this problem. However, this trend clearly reveals that aged persons will be a very big issue to the future society and vast resources need to be directed towards the support and care of the aged population. Thus, the present paper suggests the researchers in the field of aged population and their economics status to bring various researches for improving their economics status and assure the social status ofaged population.

Authors: Dahekar Swati M. , Bhute Yogesh
Published: February 2022

The topological nature of MANET(Mobile Ad-hoc Network) itself demands high security due to its mobility movement, but designing a risk aware routing path for MANET is a complex task because of its Dynamic nature of Infrastructure. In this proposal, designing an Dynamic routing path decider to find less risk aware routing path for effective communication. The efficiency of the throughput and Routing failures can be further reduced by making Nodes of MANET to be more Knowledgeable that is with more Metadata parameters. This paper introduce a class of metrics to measure the effective security offered in a wireless network as a function of the routing topology and the link security provided by the key assignment protocol. This joint protocol analysis allows a network analyst or an adversary to evaluate the vulnerability of network traffic and isolate weakly secured connections. Its show how an intelligent adversary can mount a node capture attack using vulnerability evaluation to focus the attack on the nodes which contribute maximally to the compromise of network traffic.

Feature subset selection, dimensionality used to remove irrelevant data to reduce a preprocessing step. In this paper we have a classification approach to the classification of heart disease ANN uses features from subset selection. Properties which indirectly reduces. Diagnostic tests which need to be taken by the patient. We applied our approach to heart disease data base. Our experimental results show that the accuracy improves with conventional classification techniques. This system is possible and for faster and more accurate diagnosis of heart disease.
Using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm to Determine the Optimum Stratum Boundaries Depending on Neyman Allocation
Authors: Al-Kassab Mowafaq Muhammed
Published: February 2022

In stratified sampling, in order to gain more precision than other methods of sampling, a heterogeneous population is divided into subpopulations, each of which is internally homogeneous. As a result the main problem arising in stratified sampling is to obtain the optimum boundaries. Several numerical and computational methods have been developed for this purpose. Some apply to highly skewed populations and some apply to any kind of populations .This paper proposes an ABC algorithm to solve the problem of stratum boundary while distributing the sample size according to Neyman Allocation method. The ABC algorithm is tested on two groups of populations and a comparative study with Genetic Algorithm (GA) of Keskintürk and Er (2007), Kozak’s (2004), Lavallée and Hidiroglou’s (1988) and Dalenius and Hodges(1959) methods have been implemented. The numerical results show the ability of the proposed algorithm tofind the optimal stratified boundaries for a set of standard populations and various standard test functions compared with other algorithms.
How Could Robots Challenge Humans
Authors: Dai Rongqing
Published: February 2022

For the issue whether robots might challenge humans in the future, people have so far focused on the possibility of creating a robot that could be considered as a human in the sense that it could indeed think as a human instead of being solely a tool of humans operated with programmed instructions. Based upon this line of thought it seems that we do not need to worry about the threat of robots since nobody could yet provide any plausible evidence that it is possible to produce this type of robots. However, this way of thinking is philosophically wrong since the fundamental factor to enable robots to challenge humans would be their sociability once they are infused certain level intelligence. This writing would propose the criteria for robots to be considered as sociable and discuss how the robots would pose potential threats to humans.
