A política brasileira de educação sexual nas escolas e a evolução das IST no período de 2006 - 2021 no Brasil
Authors: Rezende Maggioni Jéssica , Rafael de Albuquerque Oliveira Luana
Published: February 2024

A adolescência é um período marcado por mudanças físicas, psicológicas e sociais, as quais coincidem com a formação do conhecimento acerca da sexualidade. Crenças e pensamentos conservadores costumam silenciar debates acerca da sexualidade em adolescentes, de modo a não promover a educação em saúde sexual para essa população, a qual se torna vulnerável às Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis e à gravidez na adolescência. A escassez de conhecimento no âmbito da educação sexual está intimamente relacionada com o aumento do número de casos de IST, as quais são consideradas um problema de saúde pública pela OMS. O ambiente escolar configura-se como ideal para promoção da educação, o que inclui a educação em sexualidade. O presente estudo objetiva analisar dados referentes à evolução dos casos de IST na população jovem, de modo a correlacionar com a eficácia das políticas brasileiras de educação sexual. Foi realizada uma busca de dados epidemiológicos na plataforma “TabNet” fornecida pelo “Sinan”, além dos boletins epidemiológicos do Ministério da Saúde acerca das principais IST. Também foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico acerca das políticas brasileiras de educação sexual mais relevantes do período. Os dados epidemiológicos revelaram que no período de 2011 a 2021, houve aumento de 800% nos casos de sífilis na população total. Entre jovens de 15-19 anos, foi relatado aumento de aproximadamente 1.109,8%, com maior prevalência da população feminina. Os casos de aids referentes ao período de 2006 a 2021 apresentaram diminuição de cerca de 6,79% na população total, ao passo que na população de 15-19 anos, houve aumento de aproximadamente 18%, com aumento de cerca de 111% nos casos do sexo masculino e diminuição de cerca de 44% no sexo feminino. Referente à hepatite B, no período de 2010 a 2021, o panorama foi de redução de aproximadamente 53% no número de casos, com redução de cerca de 88% na população masculina de 15-19 anos e de cerca de 86% na população feminina da mesma faixa etária. Portanto, tendo em vista que a hepatite B é uma doença imunoprevenível, e que as demais apresentaram aumento no período vigente, observa-se a falta de efetividade na implementação das políticas brasileiras de educação sexual nas instituições de ensino. Esse panorama reforça a necessidade do desenvolvimento de novas políticas de educação integral em sexualidade, bem como sua implementação efetiva nas instituições.

Published: February 2024

As ligas acadêmicas (LAs) são organizações protagonizadas por estudantes com orientação de um docente, e se baseiam no tripé indissociável ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Nelas são desenvolvidas diversas atividades como aulas, simpósios, congressos e atividades assistenciais. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar o impacto da Liga Acadêmica na formação do estudante de Medicina do Centro Universitário de Brasília (CEUB). Nesse sentido, realizou-se um estudo transversal descritivo com estudantes do curso de medicina do CEUB no mês de Março a Agosto do ano de 2023. O instrumento de pesquisa foi um questionário aplicado via Google Forms. Foram respondidos um total de 100 formulários (questionários) e a média de idade dos entrevistados foi de 24 anos, sendo que a faixa etária que mais participou do estudo foi entre 22-25 anos. O estudo contou com a participação de alunos de todos os semestres da faculdade, com destaque para o nono (n=22) e décimo primeiro semestres (n=22). Quanto ao tempo de permanência e participação nas ligas a maioria (n=74) permaneceram mais de dois anos. A maioria dos entrevistados (n=84) consideraram que o interesse na futura especialidade é um dos principais motivos para ingressar na liga e 98 entrevistados consideraram que ela é importante para aprofundar seus conhecimentos na determinada área estudada. Por meio da liga, 24 entrevistados tiveram o primeiro contato com a pesquisa, e por influência da LA, 79 participaram de alguma atividade extra-curricular como extensão. Concluiu-se, que o impacto das ligas acadêmicas na formação do estudante de medicina do CEUB é positivo, no sentido de que contribui para que o acadêmico tenha um direcionamento na escolha de sua especialidade e contribui positivamente para a inserção do acadêmico de medicina na pesquisa e extensão.
Cigarros eletrônicos e saúde cardiovascular: análise do cronotropismo e inotropismo ao repouso e ao esforço
Authors: Vieira Nascimento Silva Beatriz , Nakamura Perissê Pereira Camila , Janussi Vacanti Luciano
Published: February 2024

O uso de cigarros eletrônicos tem sido tradicionalmente percebido como inofensivo, com tendências recentes mostrando um aumento no uso não só entre fumantes, como também entre não fumantes, principalmente quando se trata adolescentes e jovens adultos. Esses dispositivos possuem nicotina que, comprovadamente, tem ação direta sobre o sistema cardiovascular. Entretanto, eles também contêm outros produtos químicos nocivos, como metais e substâncias como cádmio, cromo, chumbo, níquel e silicatos. Assim, estudos recentes estão evidenciando efeitos agudos do uso de cigarros eletrônicos na pressão arterial e na frequência cardíaca, bem como nos parâmetros de rigidez arterial. Nesse sentido, o atual estudo tem como objetivo comparar, de forma quantitativa, a resposta da frequência cardíaca e da pressão arterial durante teste de esforço máximo em esteira ergométrica entre três grupos, sendo eles compostos por usuários de cigarros eletrônicos, usuários de outros tipos de cigarros com nicotina e não fumantes saudáveis. Foram excluídos do estudo indivíduos com doença física ou mental incapacitante, os considerados “sedentários” pelo questionário internacional de aptidão física (iPAQ) versão curta, obesos (IMC 30 Kg/m2), indivíduos com pressão arterial sistólica (PAS) 140 mmHg e pressão arterial diastólica (PAD) 90 mmHg e/ou frequência cardíaca (FC) em repouso 99 bpm. Logo, no presente estudo, não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as variações FC entre os grupos e todos os participantes atingiram 85% da FC máxima esperada, fato que pode ser justificado pela amostra ser composta de indivíduos jovens, entre 18 e 30 anos, sendo a maioria deles considerados ativos ou muito ativos. Contudo, foi encontrado uma tendência à diferença entre os Deltas da PAS e PAD, sugerindo uma melhor resposta dessas variáveis no grupo controle, apesar de que não se obteve diferença estaticamente significativa entre os grupos. Em acréscimo, no momento final da fase de recuperação (Rec 6), os grupos compostos por fumantes de cigarros eletrônicos e de outros tipos de cigarro não retornaram aos valores da PA do repouso, variação que foi alcançada pelo grupo controle. Muitos estudos relacionam a recuperação lenta da PAS pós-esforço com a presença de doença arterial coronariana. O presente estudo teve como limitação uma amostra pequena e a dificuldade para encontrar jovens que fumam apenas cigarros classificados em “outros tipos de cigarro”, como o cigarro industrializado, cigarro de palha ou tabaco. Dessa forma, estudos com amostras maiores e/ou estudos logitudinais são fundamentais para se desvendar os efeitos dos cigarros eletrônicos no sistema cardiovascular tanto a curto, quanto a longo prazo. Todavia, mesmo na necessidade de mais pesquisas, os malefícios do cigarro eletrônico já elucidados cientificamente são suficientes para embasar campanhas que desincentivem o uso.

O doping é uma realidade no esporte de alto rendimento. Compreende-se, com efeito, queesta é também a realidade no esporte mais popular do mundo: o futebol. Para isso, essapesquisa busca evidenciar o nível de conhecimento de atletas, profissionais do futebol erelacionados quanto ao doping e os demais assuntos que o circundam, tais como assubstâncias consideradas proibidas e seus riscos inerentes à saúde. Para tal, foi realizadarevisão sistemática de literatura em múltiplos buscadores. Fica evidenciado que oconhecimento do atleta de futebol, bem como de seus treinadores, acerca do doping é fraco.Independentemente de sexo, idade, nível e tempo de prática esportiva. Ainda, o atleta nãosabe definir precisamente o que é o doping e é influenciado através da propagação demensagens persuasivas em seu comportamento favorável ou desfavorável à essa práticailícita no esporte. Isso demonstra o papel fundamental no combate ao doping que têm asagências de controle e regulação da dopagem, a mídia esportiva e seus agentes. Ademais, oprofissional do futebol possui grande tendência à prática dos métodos dopantes quandocomparado aos atletas de outros esportes coletivos, apesar da alta testagem no esporte e daciência, de um modo geral, dos testes obrigatórios a nível profissional. É clara e evidente aurgência de desenvolvimento de mais pesquisas que visem compreender o conhecimento ecomportamento desses mesmos atletas, principalmente no cenário nacional.

My Hijab Covers my Mane, Not My Mind: Challenges Facing South African Muslim Women Academics
Authors: Dawood Quraisha
Published: February 2024

Muslim women in South Africa constitute 1.6% of the population, yet they have and continue to contribute significantly to the economy, pursue political freedom and rise to the upper echelons of academia. Research reveals that the identity of South African Muslim women centres on Islamic principles, such as modesty and dietary requirements, and cultural roles, such as being a mother and a homemaker. Despite Muslim women being more visible through media in recent years, literature shows that many remain marginalised, misunderstood, and often discriminated against for not subscribing to the dominant culture of the Western workplace. The study explores the challenges Muslim women academics face in South African higher education institutions when fulfilling their professional roles while maintaining Islamic and cultural obligations. Viewed through the lens of social identity theory, the chapter provides insight into the lived experiences of seven Muslim women academics and how they navigate the often-exclusionary spaces of academia. It will also provide practical solutions which may mitigate marginalisation and promote inclusivity within the South African academic landscape.
Introduction
Authors: McAlister Melani , Schäfer Axel R. , Corrigan John
Published: February 2024

The introduction to the volume offers a detailed analytical history of evangelical internationalism since the nineteenth century. It considers how evangelicals engaged US imperial and hegemonic power, whether as facilitators, beneficiaries, or sometimes as opponents. The chapter includes attention both to the white evangelicals who are numerically and often politically dominant in the community, as well as discussions of the role of Black, Latinx, and Asian-American evangelicals. Sections of the chapter examine the history of missionary work, the impact of the Cold War and human rights activism, the uses of modern media, the implication of evangelicals in neoliberalism globally, the rising power of humanitarianism, and the significance of rising numbers of evangelicals outside the United States.
Christian Globalism, Christian Nationalism, and the Ecumenical-Evangelical Rivalry
Authors: Zubovich Gene
Published: February 2024

This chapter narrates the history of the modern evangelical movement in the context of its rivalry with liberal, ecumenical Protestantism. In doing so, it helps us better understand how the modern evangelical movement defined itself against its perceived enemies and the ways this oppositional relationship shaped the politics of evangelicals from the 1940s to the present day. Evangelicals selectively adopted some aspects of ecumenism, the language of Judeo-Christianity, racial liberalism, and human rights that were initially pioneered by ecumenical Protestants. The modern evangelical movement was deeply influenced by competition with ecumenical Protestants. At the heart of the ecumenical-evangelical rivalry were two strikingly different orientations toward the world beyond America’s borders: Christian globalism and Christian nationalism. This chapter uses the career of Buell Gallagher, a stalwart of ecumenical Protestantism and a supporter of the United Nations and human rights, to highlight key contrasts between ecumenical and evangelical Protestantism. One cannot understand evangelicals today without a historical account of their rivalry with ecumenical Protestants and of the way they selectively appropriated ideas and practices from their rivals.
Global Evangelicalism and U.S. Foreign Policy, 1940s–1970s
Authors: Schäfer Axel R.
Published: February 2024

The “international turn” of (white) American evangelicalism, particularly in the form of foreign missions, humanitarian aid, overseas crusades, bible tourism, and global institution-building in Asia and Africa, constitutes one of the most distinctive dimensions of resurgent conservative Protestantism in the second half of the twentieth century. This historiographical essay reviews how newer transnational perspectives on global evangelicalism have changed our understanding of the evangelical movement, US diplomatic history, and church-state relations. Viewing US foreign policy from the perspective of global religion shifts the focus toward processes of decolonization, counternarratives from the “global South”, and the complex negotiations underlying the formation of empire. In contrast to standard nation-centric narratives that emphasize the rise of the New Christian Right, it recognizes the diversity of evangelicalism, the assertion of diasporic and subaltern voices, and the struggles for authority within the global evangelical church. Transnational perspectives on the one hand disrupt established notions of right-wing evangelicalism and the consolidation of liberal internationalism in Cold War foreign policy. On the other hand, they reveal how evangelical relations with the outside world remained a facet of US empire-building, and how deeply reliant US foreign policy was on (evangelical) religion.
PEPFAR, AIDS Prevention, and the Politics of American Compassion in Uganda
Authors: Boyd Lydia
Published: February 2024

In 2004 President Bush shocked both his conservative evangelical base and HIV/AIDS researchers and activists by pledging five billion dollars for AIDS prevention and treatment worldwide. Once considered outside the purview of religious humanitarian work, Bush’s announcement thrust Christian conservatives to the center of global AIDS relief programs by promising that American AIDS relief would not only provide treatment for HIV-positive individuals abroad, but also promote controversial approaches to AIDS prevention, earmarking one-billion dollars for the abstinence-only programs popular with American social conservatives. This chapter explores the impact of Bush’s program, known as PEPFAR, in one of the African countries that was the focus of its infusion of aid, Uganda. By examining American and Ugandan support for abstinence-only programs, it argues that American neoliberal projects in the 2000s were animated by notions of Christian compassion that shaped approaches to humanitarian aid and charity both at home and abroad. Such approaches both enabled new forms of American influence in Africa, as well as stoked conflicts over the nature of charitable obligation and reciprocity in aid-recipient communities.
Simulation-Based Modeling of Soil Dynamics for Understanding Crop Responses.
Authors: K Ome U. , J Eke , N Ogili S.
Published: February 2024

Traditional models of crop yield have overlooked the complex relationship between soil properties and plant performance. The proposed simulation-based models in this study used a new approach that considered, comprehensibly the major soil factors such as pH, moisture, temperature, and NPK involved, let alone the complex interactions. These models would then portray how soil-related interactions could modify crop responses in a significant manner without necessarily depending on data from the real world. This is a breakthrough framework that provides a refined comprehension of these elaborate dynamics controlling the yield of crops.

Authors: Abu Ephraim O. , Edah Alexander O.
Published: February 2024

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder which leads to abnormally high blood glucose level (hyperglycemia). This research work is aimed at evaluating the antidiabetic potentials of aqueous, ethanol and acetone extracts of plectranthus neochilus leaves on alloxan induced diabetic wistar rats. Materials and Methods: The experimental rats were induced and made diabetic by single intra-peritoneal administration of Alloxan monohydrate at a dose rate of 150 mg/kg dissolved in 0.9% freshly prepared normal saline at pH 5.5. Sixty-five adult (male) albino rats weighing 160-200g were used for this study. The Animals were divided into 12 groups of 5 rats each namely: A: Normal control, B: Diabetic control 150kg/body weight of alloxan, C: Diabetic + 1000mg/kg body weight of Standard drug (Metformin), D: Diabetic + 250mg/kg body weight of aqueous extract, E: Diabetic + 500mg/kg body weight of aqueous extract, F: Diabetic + 1000mg/kg body weight of aqueous extract, G: Diabetic + 250mg/kg body weight ethanol extract, H: Diabetic + 500mg/kg body weight of ethanol extract, I: Diabetic + 1000mg/kg body weight of ethanol extract, J: Diabetic + 250mg/kg body weight of acetone extract, K: Diabetic + 500mg/kg body weight of acetone extract, L: Diabetic + 1000mg/kg body weight of acetone extract. The extracts were administered orally for a duration of 28days at doses of (250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg body weight). Results: Treatment with extracts significantly reduced (p<0.05) elevated blood glucose level associated with alloxan induced diabetic (27.85±0.95) rats in the aqueous extract (5.90±0.10), ethanol extract (10.15±4.35) but no significant ameliorative effect with the acetone extract (23.35±2.82) at dosage of 1000mg/kg body weight. The aqueous extract significantly reduced (p<0.05) elevated blood glucose level more when compared to the normal control (5.85±0.05) rats as when compared to the ethanol and acetone extracts at dose 1000mg/kg body weight. Conclusion: The blood glucose data obtained using Alloxan hyperglycaemic rats clearly shows that the crude aqueous extract has better anti-diabetic effect at dose of 1000mg/kg, followed by the ethanol extract and then the acetone extract in the 28 days of treatment, the ameliorative effect is also dose dependent. Thus, the leaves caused significant and consistent reductions in diabetic drug-induced hyperglycaemia in albino rats.

Edge computing EC is an advanced technology where a server at the edge resource is allocated at the network’s edge, closely to end users, mobile devices, sensors, and the developing Internet of Things (IoT). To date, a large number application using edge computing concept has developed and equipped in the market. However, “Edge” refer to continuum network resources as well as computing; through cloud center of data and the sources of data. The Edge is not limited to request service or contents; it is extended to perform tasks like computing from the cloud. One main reason to get well acceptance to the research community is; the edge is able to offload computing, store the data, processing and caching, request distribution and service delivery to the user from the cloud. In this paper, extensive experiments are conducted which leads to a comparison of several methods in order to solve two problems e.g. Power Allocation problem using Non-Cooperative Game model based on sub-Gradient NCGG and Nertia-Weighted Particle Swarm Optimization PSO methods. Similarly, Joint Request Offloading and Computing Resource Scheduling JRORS using MO-NSGA and Binary article Swarm Optimization BPSO will explored to check their effectiveness and efficiency to our day to day computing operation.

Rata-rata suhu udara bulanan daerah beriklim tropis berkisar 18°C atau lebih, dengan dua macam pergantian musim; musim hujan dan musim kemarau. Pada daerah tropis terdapat negara-negara yang sedang berkembang dengan pesat. Dasar dari arsitektur tropis adalah iklim, arsitektur harus mampu melahirkan adaptasi, eksplorasi dan modifikasi terhadap iklim tropis. Membangun iklim kecil pada ruangan dengan upaya mereduksi isu-isu lingkungan pada iklim tropis sehingga menciptakan kenyaman fisiologis, visual dan thermal bagi pengguna bangunan. Di Indonesia, keberadaan agama dan negara merupakan dua entitas dialektis. Relasi antara agama dan negara tidak pernah selesai karena masing-masing elemen memiliki evolusi makna didalam kehidupan sosial. Vihara merupakan tempat umum bagi umat Buddha untuk melaksanakan segala rangkaian upacara dan kebaktian keagamaan berdasarkan kepada keyakinan dan kepercayaan agama Buddha. Arsitektur tropis dipandang sebagai bentuk perwujudan dari lokalitas lingkungan. Adanya perwujudan tersebut menunjukkan adanya perbedaan karakteristik dalam desain naungan, sirkulasi udara (penghawaan), fasade, dan pemilihan vegetasi untuk lanskap tapak. bangunan vihara di Kalimantan telah menerapkan prinsip arsitektur tropis sehingga saat umat Buddha beribadah di dalamnya, tercipta kenyamanan yang didukung melalui adaptasi bangunan terhadap kondisi lingkungan.
General Ultrasound Examination Volumes per Sonographer 8-Hour Workday
Authors: CADTH
Published: February 2024

The average number of general ultrasound examinations performed by a sonographer in an 8-hour workday is not well reported in the literature. Through an informal survey, we estimate that the average general ultrasound examination volume across Canada per 8-hour workday is 11.25, with a range of 9 to 14.

Understanding ultrasound examination data volumes provides information to help understand productivity. Decision-makers can also use the examination volume data and factors affecting sonographer examination throughput to create strategies to enhance efficiency in clinic and hospital departments.

Factors that may influence the average examination rate include examination time, the age of equipment, resource availability, staffing shortages, and sonographer’s work-related musculoskeletal disorders and stress.

Intime Infrastrukturen: Feministisch-geographische Perspektiven auf Energie
Authors: Aue Rosa
Published: February 2024

Abstract. Facing multiple and embodied inequalities inscribed in the energy system, this intervention argues for a feminist perspective on energy geographies. Extending critical research on urban infrastructure with concepts of care, it seeks to contribute to more just energy relations. In a first step, the article examines two energy fields: The home, where gender identities are produced and challenged, and the urban, where practices of solidarity oppose the conditions of care work in the context of neoliberal service provision. Shedding light on those „labourious spaces“, where urban materialities and its subjects are closely interconnected (Lancione and McFarlane, 2016), I reveal how heterogeneous infrastructural experiences are constantly contested within multiple entanglements of energy flows, gendered labour and care practices. In a second step, I provide three impulses for a relational perspective on energy. I argue for taking the intimate aspects of urban infrastructure as a starting point for feminist scholarship; for tracing a crisis of social reproduction along embodied energetic experiences; and for creating a collective vision of caring infrastructures.
Exploring spatial association between residential and commercial urban spaces: A machine learning approach using taxi trajectory data
Authors: Zhou Lei , Xiao Weiye , Wang Chen , Wang Haoran
Published: February 2024

Human mobility datasets, such as traffic flow data, reveal the connections between urban spaces. A novel framework is proposed to explore the spatial association between urban commercial and residential spaces via consumption travel flows in Shanghai. A social network analysis and a community detection method are employed using taxi trajectory data during the daytime to validate the framework. The machine learning-based approach, such as the community detection method, can overcome the limitation regarding spatial uncertainty and spatial effects. The empirical findings suggest that people's commercial activities are sensitive to the power of accessible commercial centers and travel distances. The high-level commercial centers would contribute to the monocentric structure in the outer urban region based on consumption flows. In the central urban region, increasing the number of high-level commercial centers and making the powers of commercial centers hierarchical can contribute to a polycentric mobility pattern of people's consumption. This research contributes to the literature by providing a novel framework to model, analyze and visualize people's mobility based on the trajectory big data, which is promising in future urban research.
