Cibercultura, educação básica e pandemia: plano de aula sobre as fake news das vacinas
Authors: Rocha Telma , Brandão Cleyton
Published: January 2022

Na atual Pandemia da COVID-19, o fenômeno das fake news dificulta o trabalho das autoridades científicas da saúde na medida em que contribui para a desinformação da população em relação aos protocolos sanitários. Com base no exposto, entende-se que a Educação Básica precisa apropriar-se dos processos tecnológicos e comunicacionais da cibercultura. Esse escrito tem o objetivo de apresentar um plano de aula do componente curricular Língua Portuguesa, para 8º e 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental II, sobre duas fake news acerca das vacinas de COVID-19, proliferadas em redes sociais e checadas pelo portal “Informe Fiocruz” e a agência checadora de notícias “Fato ou Fake”. O plano foi construído em conformidade com a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC), dado que o documento afirma que é necessário desenvolver nos educandos do Ensino Fundamental II habilidades de analisar o fenômeno da disseminação de notícias falsas nas redes sociais e desenvolver estratégias para reconhecê-las. A abordagem metodológica é qualitativa, na qual utilizou-se a revisão de literatura, além de propor uma reflexão ação na prática pedagógica. Nos resultados, orientações para as etapas de construção do plano de aula, seleção dos conteúdos, objetivo geral e específicos, estratégias metodológicas, definição dos objetos de aprendizagem e a avaliação da aprendizagem. Por ser indicado para ensino híbrido, sugere-se a utilização do Jitsi Meet para a etapa on-line, uma plataforma de código aberto – que corresponde a um programa de licenciamento livre – para realização de videoconferências, na qual docentes podem promover aulas síncronas e atividades avaliativas.

Published: January 2022

Quem não acredita que rir é um bom remédio? O projeto #ficaemcasacomhumor criou uma rede de proteção e acesso à informação por meio da produção e disseminação de informações científicas e seguras sobre a pandemia da Covid-19 e ações necessárias de proteção de pessoas em comunidades vulneráveis por meio de uma linguagem simples e imagética – a criação de charges. Cerca de 50 jovens de 05 territórios brasileiros foram formados para desenvolver e difundir mensagens em suas comunidades, criando assim, um caminho para o combate à Covid-19. Os jovens foram acompanhados à distância, respeitando e mantendo o protocolo sanitário estabelecido pela Organização Mundial da Saúde - OMS. O #ficaemcasacomhumor almeja ser um canal sério no qual jovens transformem suas realidades a partir de informação de qualidade. O projeto conta com o apoio da FIOCRUZ e do SESC.

Razão do processo e razão no processo
Authors: Da Silva Lucas Cavalcanti
Published: January 2022

Este artigo trata da relação entre o funcionamento do processo e a busca da verdade, entendida esta como a correspondência dos fatos nele anunciados com os fatos ocorridos no mundo. Ressalvando que o processo convive com limitações epistêmicas, o artigo defende que sua existência como meio para a afirmação do direito e participação dos interessados na definição de seus direitos demanda a verdade como ideal regulatório e exige que a atuação judicial seja pautada em critérios de racionalidade. Este trabalho também traz alguns exemplos, verificáveis no Código de Processo Civil, de disposições que espelham sua vocação correspondentista e racionalista.
O NEGÓCIO JURÍDICO PROCESSUAL, A ATUAÇÃO DOS JUÍZES E A AUTONOMIA DA VONTADE DAS PARTES
Authors: Moraes Daniela Marques de , Depieri Matheus De Souza
Published: January 2022

Desde o advento do CPC/2015, muito foi discutido sobre os negócios jurídicos processuais, considerando a promessa do instituto em contribuir com a democratização do processo. Apesar disso, a prática forense parece não estar alinhada com a euforia doutrinária, tendo em vista a baixa utilização de negócios jurídicos processuais em processos judiciais. Não obstante, e acreditando no potencial deste instituto, este artigo tem como principais objetivos (i) tecer uma breve análise sobre o desenvolvimento normativo dos negócios jurídicos processuais; (ii) verificar a aplicabilidade do instituto no âmbito do TJDFT e (iii) analisar possíveis limitações à autonomia da vontade das partes.

O presente artigo busca analisar as divergências e congruências dos sistemas de common law e civil law, para observar de que maneira os elementos do sistema de precedentes foram incorporados ao Código de Processo de 2015. Estabelecidas essas bases teóricas, busca-se observar como esses institutos foram aplicados na prática. A partir da análise dos Temas 99 e 112 dos recursos especiais repetitivos, busca-se contribuir com o debate da existência, ou não, de sistema de precedentes brasileiro e recepção dos institutos do common law no Brasil.
MICROSSISTEMA RECURSAL: a existência de um bloco normativo que permite diálogos entre as espécies recursais, mediante intercâmbio de técnicas processuais nos recursos
Authors: Marçal Felipe Barreto , Macedo Gabriel Lino Ramos de
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo pretende apontar a mudança de percepção acerca dos microssistemas normativos, de modo que sua existência também se relaciona com o intercâmbio de normas situadas dentro do mesmo corpo legislativo. Em síntese, não havendo vedação expressa na legislação, deve-se admitir o diálogo normativo, mediante subsidiariedade e supletivismo. A partir dessas premissas, foram identificados os já consagrados microssistemas e alguns “novos”, indicados pela doutrina. Além disso, o trabalho objetiva demonstrar a necessidade de se reconhecer a existência de um microssistema recursal, que permite o intercâmbio de técnicas processuais entre as diferentes espécies de recurso.
Inadmissão da sustentação oral no agravo de instrumento interposto contra decisão parcial de mérito nos tribunais brasileiros: um problema legislativo e regimental
Authors: Filho Alexandre De Paula , Da Silva Renan Francelino
Published: January 2022

Este artigo pretende i) identificar a hermenêutica adequada para a incongruente redação do art. 937, VIII, do Código de Processo Civil; e ii) investigar quais tribunais brasileiros preveem, em seus Regimentos Internos, a sustentação oral no julgamento do agravo de instrumento ante a decisão parcial de mérito. Para tanto, realiza-se uma pesquisa dogmática e empírica-qualitativa. Conclui-se que: a) a hermenêutica adequada do dispositivo em questão leva à admissibilidade da sustentação oral nesses casos; b) como 100% dos TRFs e 70% dos TJs mantêm a norma do CPC, há um desinteresse em assegurar este direito, ratificando o erro cometido pelo legislador.
A fundamentação das decisões judiciais e os direitos humanos: uma interpretação convencional do art. 489, § 1º. do CPC a partir da jurisprudência da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos
Authors: Fonsêca Vitor
Published: January 2022

O estudo tem por objeto a fundamentação das decisões judiciais. O objetivo é analisar em que medida a jurisprudência da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanas (CorteIDH) propicia uma interpretação convencional do artigo 489, § 1º., do Código de Processo Civil (CPC) brasileiro. O estudo justifica-se, então, pela necessidade de se compatibilizar a novidade do CPC com a interpretação das garantias judiciais do artigo 8º. da Convenção Americana sobre Direitos Humanos (CADH). Para tanto, buscou-se na base de dados de jurisprudência da CorteIDH casos relacionados à fundamentação das decisões judiciais, dando-se prioridade a casos não-penais.
OBJEÇÕES DA PROCESSUALIDADE DEMOCRÁTICA AO MINIMALISMO JUDICIAL: um estudo crítico à luz da teoria neoinstitucionalista do processo
Authors: Bernardes Bruno Paiva
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo questiona, como problema de pesquisa, a compatibilidade democrática do minimalismo judicial de Cass Sunstein à luz da teoria neoinstitucionalista do processo, elaborada por Rosemiro Pereira Leal a partir de forte matriz popperiana, e adotada como marco teórico principal para as objeções à concepção de Sunstein neste escrito. Desse modo, o objetivo do artigo é investigar a compatibilidade do minimalismo judicial à processualidade democrática preconizada pela teoria neoinstitucionalista do processo. A pesquisa se dá no modelo hermenêutico e tem como raciocínios predominantes o dialético e o hipotético-dedutivo. É de perspectiva interdisciplinar, pois combina Filosofia, Teoria do Direito, Hermenêutica e Direito Processual, tendo sido desenvolvida mediante pesquisa bibliográfica nacional e estrangeira, tendo como fontes secundárias as principais obras de Cass Sunstein e de Rosemiro Pereira Leal atinentes às temáticas.

Do acesso ao Judiciário ao acesso à Justiça: caminhos para a superação da cultura do litígio processual por vias autocompositivas e extrajudiciais
Authors: Aragão Nilsiton Rodrigues de Andrade
Published: January 2022

O objetivo principal deste trabalho é analisar como as formas heterocompositivas e autocompositivas de resolução de conflitos realizadas tanto no âmbito judicial quanto extrajudicial contribuem para o efetivo acesso à justiça. O tema escolhido justifica-se por ser necessário compreender a baixa adesão que das vias autocompositivas e extrajudiciais. A pesquisa centra-se na coleta de dados bibliográficos e documentais e na análise da legislação. Constatou-se uma tendência de concentração da solução dos conflitos no âmbito judicial e uma resistência as vias autocompositivas e extrajudiciais, o que restringe um importante campo para o desenvolvimento do acesso à Justiça.
CONTRIBUTOS À TEORIA GERAL DO DIREITO PROCESSUAL COLETIVO
Authors: Costa Rafael De Oliveira , Perrella Scarabel Pérsio Ricardo
Published: January 2022

O presente estudo pretende atentar para a necessidade de unificação, em uma só disciplina, da abordagem epistemológica do Direito Processual Coletivo (Penal e Não Penal). A Ciência do Direito Processual Coletivo se desenvolveu sem que se buscasse a formação de uma estrutura uniforme de aplicação do Direito (epistemologia do Direito Processual Coletivo). A unificação da compreensão exige, no entanto, a adoção de uma nova perspectiva, não mais limitada aos procedimentos civis, trabalhistas, eleitorais e administrativos coletivos, mas que abarque a esfera penal, permitindo uma coesão e coerência de caráter metodológico e científico, condensando princípios, regras e institutos penais e não penais em área do conhecimento que se convencionou chamar de Teoria Geral do Direito Processual Coletivo.

Este artigo trata do sistema penal, analisando a constitucionalidade da imposição de sanções sem o trânsito em julgado da sentença. Sustenta-se a impossibilidade de o Poder Judiciário flexibilizar garantias constitucionais, assim como de o Poder Legislativo, em prol da eficiência do sistema, criar mecanismos que limitem o direito fundamental de liberdade e as garantias do devido processo legal e da ampla defesa. Discute-se a possibilidade de aperfeiçoamento do processo penal em direção a maior rapidez por meio de estímulo à justiça consensual
DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL À TUTELA JURISDICIONAL EFETIVA E LIMITES EM TERMOS DE COMPETÊNCIA DE INSTITUIÇÕES DO SISTEMA DE JUSTIÇA CIVIL
Authors: Reichelt Luis Alberto , Martta Camila Victorazzi , Baltazar Alan Jece
Published: January 2022

O presente artigo faz uma tripla abordagem acerca do direito fundamental à tutela jurisdicional efetiva. Inicialmente, a partir do ponto de vista do direito fundamental ao juiz natural, é analisada a relevância da questão objeto do recurso especial, considerando a recente aprovação da proposta de Emenda à Constituição 10/2017. Em seguida, considera-se os limites impostos pela Súmula nº 7 do Superior Tribunal de Justiça como fator de delimitação do âmbito de competência do referido tribunal. Ao final, reflete-se sobre a ampliação do acesso à justiça a partir dos movimentos de desjudicialização e de extrajudicialização no contraste com a limitação legal das atribuições da atividade notarial.
OS MOMENTOS DA AÇÃO E AS SITUAÇÕES JURÍDICAS NO PROCESSO: UMA PROPOSTA DE CONVERGÊNCIA DAS TEORIAS DE GREGORIO ROBLES E JAMES GOLDSCHMIDT
Authors: Cavalcante Mantovanni Colares
Published: January 2022

Ao discorrer acerca do fenômeno da ação no direito processual, Gregorio Robles traz um ponto de vista inédito, enfatizando que a teoria da ação se concentrou exclusivamente na ação processual, ou seja, somente no início da atividade jurisdicional, quando o tema é muito mais amplo. Antes mesmo dos anos trinta do século passado, James Goldschmidt defendia que os direitos e obrigações, no âmbito do processo judicial, deveriam ser substituídos pelas expectativas, possibilidades e ônus, integrantes de uma situação de direito. Assim, no processo, o que se tem são situações jurídicas, ao invés de uma relação jurídica. Goldschmidt abandonou a visão estática do direito processual, para adotar uma perspectiva dinâmica, da mesma maneira como Gregorio Robles o fez quanto ao fenômeno da ação. Desse modo, é possível realizar uma convergência dessas teorias e estabelecer algumas das situações jurídicas produzidas em diversos momentos da ação no processo judicial

Authors: Peixoto Ravi
Published: January 2022

O artigo se propõe, com base na legislação e jurisprudência, a estudar o regime das despesas processuais aplicáveis ao Poder Público. O desafio é o de sistematizar esse regime que é extremamente dependente da legislação extravagante federal e das legislações locais, no entanto, afigura-se possível uma sistematização geral da eventual isenção de algumas despesas, bem como do diferimento e necessidade do adiantamento de outras.
AGRAVO DE INSTRUMENTO E TAXATIVIDADE MITIGADA: ANÁLISE DOS PRESSUPOSTOS DA RECORRIBILIDADE EXCEPCIONAL DE DECISÕES INTERLOCUTÓRIAS IMPREVISTAS
Authors: Catanhede Rodrigo Martins , Kenkner Fernanda Arruda Léda Leite
Published: January 2022

Com base no Tema Repetitivo 988 do STJ, esta análise pretendeu identificar e caracterizar os elementos do enunciado da tese jurídica fixada e da fundamentação do voto da Rela. Mina. Nancy Andrighi que justificam o agravamento atípico de decisões interlocutórias imprevistas. O método científico utilizado foi a abordagem dedutiva, e as técnicas de investigação empregadas foram a bibliográfica e a documental. Como principal inferência alcançada, tem-se que três requisitos orientam a recorribilidade excepcional de pronunciamentos incidentais por agravo de instrumento: urgência, inutilidade do julgamento da questão no recurso de apelação e inadmissão prospectiva da repetição de atos processuais.

Authors: Oliveira Douglas Pinto de , Luz Barcellos Priscila Da Cunha , Silva Júlio César da
Published: January 2022

O planejamento urbano e sustentável considerando análises de risco torna-se urgente diante da intensificação de fenômenos naturais extremos. Nos últimos anos, mais de 25.000 pessoas foram afetadas por desastres naturais na cidade de Duque de Caxias (Estado do Rio de Janeiro - Brasil). Esta pesquisa buscou confeccionar e fornecer às autoridades governamentais da cidade de Duque de Caxias uma ferramenta auxiliar com o intuito de direcionar as ações voltadas para prevenção de riscos de inundações, planejamento urbano e desenvolvimento sustentável, através da elaboração do mapa de áreas propensas a inundações. O trabalho utilizou o método empírico de combinação da Análise Hierárquica Ponderada (AHP) e a plataforma GIS, dando pesos aos seguintes critérios escolhidos: declividade, altitude e uso e ocupação do solo. Em comparação com os dados de inundações noticiadas entre 1996 e 2015 em Duque de Caxias, os resultados mostraram que, apesar da baixa qualidade de dados para comparação, o mapa conseguiu indicar as áreas mais suscetíveis a inundações, mostrando-se ser uma ferramenta útil para gestão de riscos e planejamento urbano na cidade. A pesquisa mostrou que a utilização da AHP para confecção de mapas de risco à inundação pode ser uma metodologia confiável e aplicável a outras cidades do Brasil.

Authors: Yang Yoonhee , Yim Dongsun , Oh Soojin , Kang Minji
Published: January 2022

Objectives: This study aimed to help the understanding of children’s temperament and parenting behavior by examining how the temperament and parenting of 3-year-olds affect the vocabulary development of 7-year-old children entering school age.Methods: The study group consisted of a total of four groups based on the scores of the Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary Test (REVT; Kim et al., 2009). The dataset was obtained through the Panel Study on Korean Children.Results: 1) There was no statistically significant difference between the four groups in the distribution pattern of children’s temperament type, however there was a statistically significant difference between the four groups in the distribution pattern by parenting behavior type. 2) In Group 1, there was a significant positive correlation between vocabulary at 7 years of age and parenting behavior of 3 years olds. In addition, Group 2 and 4, which showed a delay in vocabulary at the age of 7 years, showed that the emotional temperament of 3-year-old children was correlated with their 7-year-old vocabulary. 3) In Group 1, It was found that the emotional (negative) and sociality of children at the age of 3 significantly explained the vocabulary ability at the age of 7 by mediating the parent’s didactic parenting behavior.Conclusion: This study confirmed that the vocabulary prediction model of Group 1, which showed normal vocabulary development in both 3-year-olds and 7-year-olds, was statistically significant.
Characteristics of Tip of the Tongue Phenomenon on the Task of Naming Celebrities in Healthy Elderly Adults
Authors: Kim Soojung , Choi Hyunjoo
Published: January 2022

Objectives: In general, the incidence of Tip of the tongue (TOT) phenomenon increases with age, but studies on the difference in the incidence of TOT phenomenon according to the age of healthy elderly adults are limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence and resolution rate of the TOT, and to find out the change in performance according to the syllabic clues.Methods: Ninety-six healthy elderly people whose age range was between 65 and 84 years old participated in the study. Participants were divided into three groups: 55-64 years old, 65-74 years old, and 75-84 years old age range groups. The TOT task used 30 questions about celebrity naming organized by period and category.Results: First, there was a significant difference of the TOT rate by age group, and as the age increased, the TOT rate due to partial retrieval failure and total retrieval failure increased. Second, the rate of TOT response type that explained the celebrity’s occupation was the highest in all groups. Third, there were significant differences between groups in both the voluntary TOT resolution rate and the TOT resolution rate after providing the syllabic clue. The recovery rate after the syllabic clues decreased with increasing age.Conclusion: This study observed the difference in characteristics of TOT phenomenon in elderly adults according to age group and the importance of phonological clues in TOT phenomenon resolution.
The Effects of Parent Education on Perceptions of Augmentative and Alternative Communication
Authors: Kim Sangmin , Park HyunJu , Shin Sangeun
Published: January 2022

Objectives: Parents’ incomplete knowledge of AAC is apt to make them believe in misconceptions about AAC, which hinders them from having the appropriate interventions for their children. Considering the fact that parents’ perception of AAC has a large impact on AAC intervention, this study aims to examine the effects of parent education on the perception of AAC.Methods: Twenty-five mothers of children with complex communication needs participated in the study. Parent Education is designed as a 40-minute program consisting of (1) introduction to AAC, (2) exploring AAC systems, (3) developing linguistic competence using AAC, (4) tips for using AAC at home, and (5) policies and financial support. Extra time for question-and-answers was provided to each participant. To measure the effect of parent education on parents’ AAC perception and the relationship of participants’ change in perception with their satisfaction with the education program, two types of survey questionnaires were developed.Results: The repeated measured ANCOVA showed that the difference between the total scores of pre-and post-surveys was significant. The Spearman’s rho was .443, indicating a moderate positive correlation between the degree of satisfaction and the change in AAC perception.Conclusion: This study showed that parent education had a positive effect on parents’ perceptions of AAC overall. In particular, there was a significant change of opinion in the misconception that children must have intact cognitive skills to use speech-generating devices, the idea which showed the lowest scores in the pre-survey. It seems that the education program which focused on correcting misconceptions about AAC and providing relevant information and opportunities to use AAC devices helped to lead to these positive effects.

Authors: Roh Jin-Young , Choi Seong Hee , Lee Kyungjae , Choi Chul-Hee
Published: January 2022

Purpose: Aural rehabilitation has been used to reduce communication difficulties related to hearing loss and minimize their consequence in everyday life. Aural rehabilitation includes diagnosis and identification of hearing loss, provision of appropriate assistive listening devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, auditory training, speechreading, and communication strategies training. Communication strategies refer to a course of action taken to facilitate conversation interaction or to correct communication problems. Compared to other components of aural rehabilitation, communication strategies have not been focused on as a significant evaluation tool in spite of their importance in daily life. This study aimed to develop a Korean version of the Communication Scale for Older Adults (K-CSOA) originally designed by Kaplan et al. (1997) to evaluate the changes in communication strategies and attitudes.Methods: The K-CSOA was composed of communication strategies and communication attitudes. The Communication strategies have three subcategories of Facilitative (10 items), Repair (15 items), and Preparatory strategies (16 items). The communication attitudes have also three subcategories of Own Attitude (19 items), Family’s Attitude (7 items), and Others Attitude (5 items). The validity and reliability of K-CSOA were obtained with total sixty subjects consisting of thirty subjects with normal hearing and thirty subjects with different degrees of hearing loss with mean age of 72 years old ranging from 60 years old to 85 years old.Results: The validity and reliability of the K-CSOA were measured using Pearson`s correlation coefficient, Cronbach Alpha coefficient, and independent t-tests. The correlation coefficients were high (.502-.984) between total means of K-CSOA and subcategories of K-CSOA. The internal consistency ranged from .802 to .930 for Communication Strategies and from .620 to .962 for Communication Attitudes. The test-retest correlation of the K-CSOA was .986 and .988 for Communication Strategies and Attitudes, respectively. The correlation coefficient was .784 between the K-CSOA and Korean Hearing Handicap for the Elderly (KHHIE). In addition, there were significant differences in Communication Strategies and Communication Attitudes between the normal hearing and hearing loss groups.Conclusion: These results indicate that K-CSOA can be used as a useful clinical tool providing in-depth information regarding communication strategies and attitudes in Korean elderly people.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Folate, Vitamin B9, is found naturally in our day to day foods. It is vital for synthesis of DNA and normal cell division in humans. Studies have revealed constantly that maternal folic acid[FA] intake prior to and in early conception decreases neural tube defects. Aim: The aim of the current study is to evaluate the relationship between FA intake by the mother during conception and fetal growth at different gestational ages and also if, periconceptional and preconceptional FA intake has a positive effect on fetal growth, hence reducing the risk of low birth weight babies or small for gestational age (SGA) babies. Materials and methods: 180 pregnant women were classified based on their period of FA intake as preconception, periconception FA intake and nil FA intake. Standard fetal biometric parameters were measured using ultrasonogram during the 1st , 2nd and 3rd trimester of their pregnancy. Results: Preconception FA intake had a positive effect on fetal growth as compared to those who abstained from FA supplementation. Intake during preconception and peri-conception i.e. immediately after confirmation of pregnancy was found to have a reduced risk of low fetal weight as against those who did not consume FA. Fetal biometry showed significant difference between preconception and periconception groups. Conclusion: In conclusion, preconceptional and periconceptional FA supplementation of 0.4-0.5 mg/day was positively affecting fetal growth and caused an optimal birth weight by decreasing the incidence of low birth weight.

Diabetes Mellitus occurs when the pancreas fails to produce sufficient insulin, or the body is unable to use the insulin produced effectively. In order to regulate the blood glucose of diabetic patients, Diabegard®, a herbal antidiabetic medicine and daily supplement, contains polypeptide-k which exists in the seed of Momordica Charantia (bitter gourd) was prescribed. Purpose: A retrospective study is therefore done with the aim to examine the effectiveness of Diabegard®, polypeptide-k in regulating the blood glucose and cholesterol level of diabetic patients who took Diabegard® for four weeks with a dose of 60 mg per day. Methods: A database record of 105 male and 37 female (ages 25-81) treated with Diabegard®, polypeptide-k was assessed. The effectiveness of Diabegard®, polypeptide-k in blood glucose regulation was determined based on four aspects: gender, three different age categories, four different categories of duration of the disease and five different categories of severity of the disease. The Pearson's correlation was used to find the correlation among variables. Paired sample t-test was used to compare the means of pre- and post-treatment of blood glucose level. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the means of different groups for each aspect. Results: Result showed that age and duration of disease (r2=0.469), pre-treatment of blood glucose and post-treatment of blood glucose (r2=0.606) showed positive relationship. Both paired sample T-test of pre-and post-treatment of blood glucose showed significant difference (p<0.05). Categories with very mild (7 mmol/L), severe (13.9-19.4mmol/L) and very severe (>19.4mmol/L) diabetes showed significant difference (p<0.05). Other tests showed no significant difference. Conclusion: In conclusion, this present retrospective study showed that Diabegard®, polypeptide-k was effective in controlling blood glucose level of all diabetic patients especially in patients with mild (26.87% reduction), severe (40.43% reduction) and very severe diabetes (49.27% reduction).

Introduction: The pandemic due to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a major health issue resulting in mortality across the globe. Multiple newer medications are being tried in treatment but with minimal success. The development of vaccines is occurring with unprecedented speed using different platforms with collaborations of academia and the pharmaceutical industries globally. These vaccines are approved for emergency use authorization by health authorities based on limited data from clinical trials. Hence, there is a need for active surveillance of vaccine recipients to monitor for safety. Methods: Adverse drug reaction monitoring centre (AMC) of our institute is actively involved in surveillance of recipients for adverse events following immunization (AEFI) who received vaccines for COVID-19 from the vaccination centre of the institute. As per the guidelines of National Coordinating Centre (NCC), Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), designated staff of AMC follows up vaccine recipients over their registered mobile number post-vaccination for AEFI if any. This is a descriptive study of all the AEFI reported to NCC, PvPI between 16th January 2021 and 31st March 2021. Results: Of the 5793 doses of vaccination administered during the study period, 59.4% (3443) responded to follow up and 8.6% (299 of 3443) recipients reported 509 AEFI. The most common reported AEFI include fever, generalized body pains, and headache constituting 36.1%, 30.5%, and 18.5% respectively. 64.2% (327 of 509) of AEFI were reported from people younger than 45 years of age. Though females constituted 53.8% (161 of 299) of people who reported AEFI, total number of events reported from this group was 58% (295 of 509). More number of AEFI were observed after first dose of COVISHIELD compared to second dose. Conclusion: COVID-19 vaccination drive is rolled out in multiple phases for different age groups across the country. Many vaccinations are being approved for use in general public with limited data from clinical trials. Active surveillance of COVID-19 vaccines for AEFI helps us in further understanding safety issues beyond the clinical trial environment.

The current research emphasis on the isolation and differentiation of Listeria monocytogenes from different food samples most frequently infected with Listeriosis outbreaks. Crude chicken meat, raw milk, pasteurized cheese, ice cream and raw fish are samples from the city of Bangalore. The selective medium mainly used for the isolation of Listeria is oxford agar. Using isolated L. monocytogenes from food samples, morphologic and biochemical identification was carried out. 2 samples (fresh milk and Ice cream) were positive out of 5 samples; 3 samples (raw chicken meat, raw fish, and pasteurized cheese) were negative. The results conferred during this study indicate the contamination of Ice- cream and Raw Milk samples with L. monocytogenes.
Assessment of Psychology, Behaviour and Self-Medication Potential Among Indian People During CovID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Sarkar Atreyee , Rajamani Jaya Kumar
Published: January 2022

Aim: This research work was done during the Indian festive season of 2020 to assess the attitude, mentality and psychological pattern of Indians. Also, the effect of yoga and meditation in combating the Covid-19 pandemic related stress was analyzed in the present research work. As Paracetamol and Diclofenac are OTC medications which are widely available without doctor’s prescription, the potential of self-medication for these drugs amidst the pandemic need to be studied, this study further attempted to analyze the rate and extent of self-medication of these drugs among Indians. Materials and Methods: An e-questionnaire survey bearing questions on pandemic-related mental stress, sleep duration, yoga, meditation practice, and extent of self-medication in combating the pandemic was floated to the residents of Bengaluru to collect their response. The collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software version 17. Results: A mixed response regarding their stress, anxiety, and fear expressed on a higher scale was the same before or during Covid could be perceived. The sleep pattern before and during CoVid had no significant variation (p>0.05) and appeared the same. All the respondents agreed that they spend considerable time with electronic gadgets during the Covid lockdown period. Most of the respondents (60%) practice yoga and meditation occasionally or daily. The high rate of self-medication with Paracetamol and Diclofenac drugs among Indian people in the current pandemic situation shows they are OTC and readily available. The self-medication practice is of real concern as it may cause a long-term impact on the consumers.
Structured illumination-based transport-of-intensity phase imaging for quantitative diagnostics of high-speed flows
Authors: Medhi Biswajit
Published: January 2022

A method for quantitative estimation of density in a high-speed flow field is presented, which uses structured illumination to interrogate the region of interest (ROI). Wavefront distortion suffered by the interrogating beam as it passes through the shock-induced flow field is investigated. Customized camera optics is used to measure the cross-sectional intensities of the exiting wavefront at two different planes, concurrently. A technique is proposed that uses the displacement of the structured light pattern to estimate the axial intensity derivative,

, which is the input to the transport-of-intensity equation (TIE) for phase estimation. The proposed method allows the use of images with larger defocused distances,

, as it does not follow the conventional recipe of finite-difference (FD) approximation for intensity derivative estimation. This flexes two requirements of conventional TIE imaging: first, it brings flexibility in imaging optics, not restricted to small

estimation does not use absolute intensities but information from the distorted pattern of structured light. The recovered phase from the TIE is used as an input to the phase tomography algorithm to obtain the refractive index followed by density distributions in the flow field quantitatively. The proposed phase estimation technique is verified through simulations first and then is implemented in experiments conducted in a hypersonic shock tunnel for flow Mach No. of 8.8. Estimated cross-sectional densities of the flow field around the aerodynamic test model are presented and compared with the numerically estimated values, which shows good agreement.

Published: January 2022

The development of high-power lasers requires optics with very low absorption to avoid detrimental thermal effects. In this work, we discuss our recent developments on the use of lock-in thermography to measure absorption. We apply this technique in a multipass configuration to increase the effective power on the tested samples. We present a system based on a kW-class ytterbium fiber laser operating at 1.07 µm wavelength, which enables exposing samples to 5 kW effective power and measuring absorption in the ppm range. The implementation, calibration procedure, and obtained performance are discussed with some applications to single-layer coatings of

Subcarrier wave quantum key distribution with leaky and flawed devices
Authors: Gaidash Andrei , Miroshnichenko George , Kozubov Anton
Published: January 2022

In this paper, we consider the influence of device imperfections on the performance of the subcarrier wave quantum key distribution system. For instance, we consider the utilization of a non-phase-randomized coherent light source, the possibility of detector blinding, and its consequences. The common opinion is that the presence of a coherent light source in the system provides the possibility for a photon number splitting attack to an eavesdropper. We show that the attack is inapplicable or inefficient in the case of the considered states (without assumption of phase randomization). We also provide the conditions for estimation of a detector blinding attack. Moreover, we demonstrate that not only hardware countermeasures are applicable to revealing the attack, but also utilization of special protocol construction can be implied. Thus, we conclude that the imperfections of the considered devices can easily be leveled due to the features of implemented states and protocol construction.
