Authors: Ferraz Fábio Henrique de Carvalho
Published: February 2022

A influência do avanço tecnológico, principalmente no setor da saúde, tem impactado de modo positivo a medicina e suas práticas interventivas uma vez que, a todo momento, surgem novas técnicas e métodos capazes de melhorar o diagnóstico e o tratamento de inúmeras doenças. Nos últimos anos, a medicina, junto aos programas ligados à tecnologia da informação e inteligência artificial, tem promovido verdadeiras transformações com a criação de, por exemplo, projetos de sensores inteligentes e algoritmos robóticos que asseguram conforto e segurança ao paciente podendo ser monitorado de sua própria residência. Nesse diapasão, a combinação de conhecimentos médicos, aliados aos princípios e práticas da engenharia, formam a saúde/medicina 4.0. Cumpre informar que essa logística possibilita maiores chances de sucesso na prevenção, bem como na cura de inúmeras doenças. Contudo, a sociedade médica atual vive um dilema com profissionais pouco capacitados devido à resistência que os próprios apresentam para atuarem com novas tecnologias, e, numa perspectiva multidisciplinar, somente o conhecimento médico não é suficiente para acompanhar a saúde 4.0. Neste contexto, visamos responder: Como atenuar a falta de capacitação e resistência médica para que possam atuar corretamente com as novas demandas tecnológicas no setor da saúde? Tendo como objetivo elencar os principais problemas relatados pela experiência dos próprios profissionais médicos de acordo com a literatura publicada. Com isso, a partir de pesquisas bibliográficas, este artigo propõe apresentar um pouco da evolução tecnológica sofrida no setor da engenharia impactando diretamente o setor da saúde e de que forma tal evolução repercutiu nas atividades médicas. Além disso, pretende-se apresentar uma possível solução aos problemas relatados. Os fatos mostram que, em suma, os benefícios dos avanços tecnológicos voltados a medicina 4.0 são reconhecidamente eficazes e que investir em treinamentos para capacitação de profissionais na área de saúde é um caminho, entretanto, as organizações que desejam estes sistemas precisam estar conscientes de que o processo de implantação pode ser uma tarefa difícil que exige a capacidade de suportar a influência de diversos fatores, onde o principal deles é a resistência humana a novas tecnologias.

Authors: Pratama Ratna , Wahyuni Sari
Published: February 2022

Many studies have been conducted to understand eco-investment contribution on firms’ competitive advantages but there are still limited studies about its effects on eco-oriented startups’ competitive advantages. This qualitative study is written to explore more in detail on eco-oriented startups process in gaining sustained competitive advantages from their eco-investments. Using an existing conceptual framework for sustainability strategies, this single case study probes into a B corporation certified startup and found that eco-investments contribute to support the eco-oriented startup in gaining sustainable competitive advantages in multiple ways. The process can be categorized into three stages. First, eco-investments improve attractiveness of the company in eyes of investors and improve the likelihood to get funding from multiple funding sources. Second, eco-investments improve job satisfaction, motivation and employees’ sense of belonging. Lastly, eco-investments and eco-innovation support the company in executing eco-branding and beyond compliance leadership strategies but without sustainable value innovation, the startup can only achieve temporary competitive advantages not sustainable competitive advantages. The findings presented here may help startup founders and other business practitioners, especially those who are responsible in creating business strategy, to evaluate their eco-investment decisions based on the company's resources and capability in order to obtain sustainable competitive advantages.

The development of information technology in the international world impacts cyberspace, covering all aspects of national life. So, the government must understand the condition of cyber security in Indonesia and build a national defense system to overcome various threats that come through cyberspace. ASEAN has become one of the platforms for Indonesia to fight for its national interests to support national security in the cyber field. The purpose of this research is to analyze the efforts to strengthen the national defense system based on five aspects of cybersecurity capacity building to realize Indonesia's defense development in cyber defense security through the role of Cyber Defense Center as an actor in Indonesia's defense diplomacy in enhancing cyber defense security cooperation in ASEAN. These strategies and efforts were analyzed through a qualitative approach, and primary data were collected through interviews with informants from various government agencies. In addition, literature, journals, and related documents are also used as supporting data. These efforts resulted in an agreement in the form of making a cyber-portal between countries and equality of view to continue to conduct cybersecurity training in the form of seminars and workshops to build the capacity of the national defense system.

Com o surgimento da Covid-19 (doença infecciosa por um coronavírus, recém descoberto), a sociedade como um todo se encontrou em uma realidade delicada, onde a solução imediata foi fechar os estabelecimentos que atendiam caráter de aglomeração de pessoas. Assim, as escolas não ficaram de fora (tanto pública quanto privada), mas pensando no rendimento e futuro educacional dos alunos, o ensino remoto emergencial foi a medida adotada para que houvesse a forma continuada do campo educacional, medida essa que contou fortemente com as ferramentas tecnológicas, sendo estas, o destaque mais relevante para que houvesse a forma continuada das atividades escolares. Pensando nisso, é de suma relevância saber como os alunos se encontraram diante desse cenário emergencial. Portanto, o presente trabalho buscou relatar as experiências absorvidas dos discentes na modalidade 3° ano do ensino médio, uma vez que esse público de alunos, na lógica dispõe de uma maturidade mais abrangente em fazer esses relatos, expandindo para a realidade já acostumada (ensino presencial). A pesquisa foi aplicada na escola Estadual Centro de Ensino Doutor Adonias Lucas de Lacerda, na cidade de Sucupira do Norte – MA, e se deu através de um questionário exploratório, contendo perguntas com enfoque voltado para o processo de adaptação e/ou dificuldades encontradas diante desse cenário de emergência.

The uncontrolled production of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generates oxidative stress and the development of chronic diseases, such as hypertension. Antioxidant enzymes can reduce the cellular level of ROS. Nuclear erythroid factor 2 (Nrf-2) favors the expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes. In hypertensive rats, Nrf-2 expresssion appears to be reduced in blood vessels and, consequently, it favors the oxidative stress and vascular dysfunction. Apocynin (APO) has been considered a new antioxidant drug. APO reduces blood pressure, decreases ROS production, and improves endothelial function in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). We hypothesized that the role of Nrf-2 in vascular reactivity is altered in SHR and APO-treatment prevents this alteration. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated aorta reactivity to phenylephrine (PE) and acetylcholine (ACh), in the absence and presence of Brusatol, Nrf-2 inhibitor. We used aortas from normotensive Wistar rats and SHR, untreated or treated with APO. Brusatol increased the reactivity of the aortas from SHR to PE, but did not change the reactivity of Wistar rat aortas. In APO-treated SHR aortas, the effect of Brusatol was not observed. The vasodilator responses to ACh were not modified by Brusatol in aortas from normotensive or hypertensive rats, untreated or treated with APO. These results suggest that Nrf-2 is activated in the contractile response to PE. In SHR aortas, exacerbated generation of ROS induces the activation of Nrf-2. This suggestion is reinforced by the lack of Brusatol effect in APO-treated SHR aortas. As APO is an antioxidant drug, the reduction of ROS in vascular cells would not lead to Nrf-2 activation.
