A new glacier thickness and bed map for Svalbard
Authors: van Pelt Ward , Frank Thomas
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Knowledge of the thickness, volume and sub-glacial topography of glaciers is crucial for a range of glaciological, hydrological and societal issues, including, e.g., studies on climate-warming induced glacier retreat and associated sea-level rise. This is not the least true for Svalbard, one of the fastest-warming places in the world. Here, we present a new map of ice thickness and sub-glacial topography for every glacier on Svalbard. Using remotely-sensed observations of surface height, ice velocity, rate of surface elevation change, and glacier boundaries in combination with a modeled mass balance product, we apply an inverse method that leverages state-of-the-art ice flow models to obtain the shape of the glacier bed. Specifically, we model large glaciers with the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM) at 500 m resolution, while we resolve smaller mountain glaciers at 100 m resolution using the physics-informed deep learning-based Instructed Glacier Model (IGM). Actively surging glaciers are modeled using a perfect-plasticity model. We find a total glacier volume (excluding Kvitøya) of 6,800 km±238 km3, and a mean ice thickness of 205±7 m. Validation against thickness observations shows high statistical agreement, and combining the three methods is found to reduce uncertainties. We discuss remaining sources of errors, differences to previous ice thickness maps of the region, and future applications of our results.
Levee system transformation in coevolution between humans and water systems along the Kiso River, Japan
Authors: Nakamura Shinichiro , Nakai Fuko , Ito Yuichiro , Okada Ginga , Oki Taikan
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Floodplain societies decide whether to protect themselves against floods (fight), live with floods (adapt), or adopt an approach that represents some combination of the two. The formation of a levee system is an important factor in determining whether a society fights or adapts to floods; however, these factors have been considered fixed boundaries in previous studies in human–flood interactions. We analyze a levee system transformation process covering the past century, from the indigenous ring-type levee system with floods to modern continuous levees against floods in the Kiso River basin in Japan by applying a historical sociohydrological approach. The results show degradation processes of the indigenous levee system and traditional communities alongside the installation of modern continuous levees, and a trade-off relationship was observed between the lengths of both. There are interactions between the levee systems and the human–water system through various water uses and different-scale components, and the dynamics within the region are connected to external socioeconomic trends through the installed modern levees and institutions.

Abstract. Accurate detection and monitoring of urban changes are crucial for sustainable urban planning and management, sustaining economic growth, as well as advancing smart city initiatives. Due to the unprecedented urbanization and rapid population growth in the emirates of Dubai over the last few decades, it is essential to closely monitor and detect changes in urban land cover. While traditional classifiers using low-medium resolution open-source satellite images have shown success in the broad-level classification of land use and land cover concerning urbanization, they are time-consuming, labour-intensive, and limited to minute-level detailed urban change detection. Thus, the present study significantly focuses on precise change detection of various urban classes and associated vegetation cover during 2021–2022 using high-resolution KhalifaSAT images through the application of a deep learning algorithm. The study implemented an advanced machine learning tool (available in the Geo-AI platform, Eofactory) to generate a super-resolution image. Also, after performing various pre-processing of the image, a deep learning-based U2-Net model was implemented for the change detection. The model has efficiently detected changes in different urban features such as newly constructed buildings, rooftop changes, demolished buildings, and building extensions as well as changes in associated vegetation with an overall accuracy of 0.82 and, a kappa coefficient of 0.76.
Conceptualising an Urban Digital Twin Framework for Simulating the Impact of Household Consumption Choices on the Carbon Footprint of Urban Neighborhoods
Authors: Padsala Rushikesh , Santhanavanich Thunyathep , Eicker Ursula , Coors Volker
Published: May 2024

Abstract. This paper presents a concept and first glimpse at the development of an urban digital twin framework to estimate and forecast the carbon footprints of urban neighbourhoods, with a focus on household consumption choices, specifically in buildings, food, and transportation sectors, as key emission contributors. Despite constituting nearly three-quarters of global carbon emissions, the influence of household consumption choices on a region’s carbon footprint is often neglected. While assessments at a regional or city scale may prove too broad for targeted mitigation strategies, estimating carbon emissions at the neighbourhood scale can foster sustainable and resilient urban areas. However, challenges arise in estimating emissions at this scale due to the availability of aggregated data, insufficient cross-sectoral data integration, and a lack of practical visualisation tools, causing policymakers to overlook the impact of household choices on neighbourhood carbon footprints. Therefore, the present article provides insights into the ongoing early-stage development of using urban digital twins to model, simulate, analyse, and visualise the impact of household consumption choices on neighbourhood-scale consumption-based carbon emissions. By exploring ”what-if” scenarios, this research also seeks to forecast emission profiles based on how household consumption choices influence a neighbourhood’s carbon emissions under future climatic and demographic conditions.
Possibility of Crowdsourcing-based Method for Surveying the Flatness of Pedestrian Spaces
Authors: Shin Jung Il , Kim Jung Ok
Published: May 2024

Abstract. A detailed investigation of walking spaces is essential for ensuring the safety of mobility-impaired pedestrians because the conditions of walking spaces affect the daily lives. Seoul Metropolitan Government is exploring barrier-free policies and the Seoul universal design guidelines define the structure of pedestrian spaces. However, these guidelines apply to only a few representative pedestrian-friendly areas or public institutions, causing mobility-impaired people to experience restrictions in other areas. This study propose possibility to investigate condition of pedestrian space using smartphones and strollers with a crowdsourcing model. A smartphone was attached to the cup holder of a stroller to acquire data during its drive through a residential complex. While the stroller was driving, acceleration, rotation, location, and photo data were obtained using a free app installed on a smartphone. As a result of experiment, the acquired data showed different variations in linear acceleration depending on the roughness of the surface. When there was a slope, there was a change in the vertical angular. Therefore, possibility was determined to investigate the flatness of the walking space using a smart device and a four-wheeled vehicle. Additionally, a crowdsourcing model was proposed to survey the entire city in a short period of time. This model includes providing highly feasible rewards to increase citizen participation in surveys.
Triangle Descriptor Loop Detection Method Based on Faster-LIO

Published: May 2024

Abstract. This paper introduces an enhanced approach to loop closure detection in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) by integrating the Faster-LIO framework with Stable Triangle Descriptors (STD). SLAM, essential in autonomous driving and augmented reality, often encounters cumulative errors affecting mapping accuracy. Traditional detection methods based on sensor data like camera images and LiDAR point clouds struggle with environmental changes that alter scene appearance and geometry. Our approach utilizes LiDAR sensors and STD, exploiting the geometric stability of triangles to maintain robustness against rotational and translational changes. The process involves storing triangle descriptors from key frames in a hash table within the Faster-LIO framework, a voxel-based LiDAR-Inertial Odometry optimized for efficiency and speed. These descriptors are then matched across frames using a voting mechanism to ensure reliable loop closure detection. Validation on the KITTI dataset and a proprietary subterranean parking garage dataset demonstrates that this integration not only enhances loop closure detection but also simplifies computational demands by avoiding complex tree structures. This method shows promise for broader applications in robotics and autonomous systems, with future research focusing on refining the descriptor and expanding its applicability to other sensor modalities.
Statistical calibration of probabilistic medium-range fire weather index forecasts in Europe
Authors: Bohlmann Stephanie , Laine Marko
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Wildfires are increasing in frequency and severity across Europe, which makes accurate wildfire risk estimation crucial. Wildfire risk is usually estimated using meteorological based fire weather indices such as the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index (FWI). By using weather forecasts, the FWI can be predicted for several days and even weeks ahead. Probabilistic ensemble forecasts require verification and post-processing in order to provide reliable and accurate forecasts, which are crucial for informed decision making and an effective emergency response. In this study, we investigate the potential of non-homogeneous Gaussian regression (NGR) for statistically post-processing ensemble forecasts of the Canadian Forest Fire Weather Index. The FWI is calculated using medium range ensemble forecasts from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) with lead times up to 15 days over Europe. The method is tested using a 30 day rolling training period and dividing the European region into three training areas (Northern, Central and Mediterranean Europe). The calibration improves FWI forecast particularly at shorter lead times and in regions with elevated FWI values i.e. areas with a higher wildfire risk.
Review article: Insuring the green economy against natural hazards – charting research frontiers in vulnerability assessment

Published: May 2024

Abstract. The insurance of green economy assets against natural hazards is a growing market. This study explores whether currently available published knowledge is adequate for the vulnerability assessment of these assets to natural hazards. A matrix is constructed to demonstrate the vulnerability to functional loss of 37 asset classes in the renewable energy, green construction, resource management, carbon capture and storage, energy storage and sustainable transportation sectors. The 28 hazards adopted range from environmental and geophysical events to oceanic, coastal, and space weather events. A fundamental challenge in constructing the matrix was the lack of an asset-hazard taxonomy for the green economy. Each matrix cell represents the vulnerability of an asset to a specific hazard, based on a comprehensive systematic literature review. A confidence level is assigned to each vulnerability assessment based on a literature density heat map. The latter highlights specific knowledge gaps, and in particular a lack of quantitative vulnerability studies that appropriately represent all functional loss mechanisms in green economy assets. Apart from charting research gaps, a main output of this study is the proposal of a representative asset-hazard taxonomy to guide future, quantitative research that can be applied by the insurance industry.
Biases in ice sheet models from missing noise-induced drift
Authors: Robel Alexander A. , Verjans Vincent , Ambelorun Aminat A.
Published: May 2024

Abstract. Most climatic and glaciological processes exhibit internal variability, which is omitted from many ice sheet model simulations. Prior studies have found that climatic variability can change ice sheet sensitivity to the long-term mean and trend in climate forcing. In this study, we use an ensemble of simulations with a stochastic large-scale ice sheet model to demonstrate that variability in frontal ablation of marine-terminating glaciers changes the mean state of the Greenland Ice Sheet through noise-induced drift. Conversely, stochastic variability in surface mass balance does not appear to cause noise-induced drift in these ensembles. We describe three potential causes for noise-induced drift identified in prior statistical physics literature: noise-induced bifurcations, multiplicative noise, and nonlinearities in noisy processes. Idealized simulations and Reynolds decomposition theory show that for marine ice sheets in particular, noise-induced bifurcations and nonlinearities in variable ice sheet processes are likely the cause of the noise-induced drift. We argue that the omnipresence of variability in climate and ice sheet systems means that the state of real-world ice sheets includes this tendency to drift. Thus, the lack of representation of such noise-induced drift in spin-up and transient ice sheet simulations is a potentially ubiquitous source of bias in ice sheet models.

Authors: Schaffner F. , Vaux A.G.C. , Medlock J.M.
Published: May 2024

We report occurrence data of mosquitoes in Scotland which were routinely collated by the British Mosquito Group for the period 1886 to 1993 (232 records), and by the Mosquito Recording Scheme since 2005 (11 records). We also report a set of new field data mainly based on mosquito immature sampling in aquatic habitats during the summers 1998 and 2012, in both Scotland (20 data) and England (11 data). The occurrences in Scotland (263 data in total) include a total mosquito fauna of 18 species. They include, for the British Isles, the northernmost record of Anopheles claviger sensu stricto, collected on Orkney, and the northernmost record of Culex pipiens, collected on Shetland, both in 2012. The latter is the northernmost mosquito record of Great Britain to date.
How Intrinsic Motivation augments Innovation and Commitment? A Moderated Mediation Model of Employee’s Trust and Engagement
Authors: Khan Muhammad Tasnim , Ali Syed Ahmad , Rehman Hafeez ur
Published: May 2024

Based on self-determination theory, the study aimed to gauge the impact of intrinsic motivation on employees’ engagement which later augments innovation and commitment. It further examined the moderating impact of employee’s trust on the relationship between motivation and engagement. The authors collected data through an online survey from 350 respondents from the telecommunications industry in Pakistan using a cross-sectional design through simple random sampling. For analysis, the SEM (structural equation modeling) technique was used to test direct and indirect effects. The results confirmed the initially hypothesized framework of a moderated mediation mechanism between intrinsic motivation, engagement, job innovation, and commitment. Mediation analysis reflects that employee’s engagement mediates between both intrinsic motivation and job innovation as well as with commitment. Further, employee’s trust was found to be positively moderating between intrinsic motivation and employee’s engagement. Unlike traditional approaches to test mediation between intrinsic motivation and commitment and job innovation, the study examines a moderated mediation mechanism of how employee’s intrinsic motivation spurs engagement in the presence of employee’s trust which can subsequently increase innovative behavior and commitment of the employee. The study explains the self-determination mechanism in the context of telecommunications industry in Pakistan. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.

Published: May 2024

Recent studies have recognized the potential of inhibiting phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) enzyme as a therapeutic strategy for treating papillary thyroid cancer. However, research on the efficacy of herbal compounds in inhibiting the PHGDH enzyme that have been reported to possess anticancer activities, including those found in ginger (Zingiber officinale), remains limited. The aim of this study was to examine the potential of ginger compounds in inhibiting PHGDH enzyme and to identify its potential use in the treatment of papillary thyroid cancer. The study employed computational methods to identify ginger-derived compounds that inhibit the PHGDH and impede papillary thyroid cancer progression. Crystallized protein structures were obtained from the Protein Data Bank, and Discovery Studio software was utilized to remove water molecules, double chains, and ligands. The receptor was modified by adding polar hydrogen, and AutodockTools4 software was employed to establish an accurate binding site based on the position of the previous ligand. Molecular docking experiments were conducted with 125 ginger-derived phytochemicals retrieved from the PubChem database. The results revealed nine active compounds found in ginger (galanolactone, myricetin, quercetin, cyanin, kaempferol, chlorogenic acid, delphinidin, alpha-cadinol, and curcumin) with strong binding affinities to PHGDH (minimum score threshold <-7 kcal/mol), indicating their potential for drug development. Galanolactone, myricetin, and quercetin were the top three compounds with the strongest binding affinity (-8.2, -7.9, and -7.9 kcal/mol, respectively), involving multiple bonds in the ligand-protein complex interaction. Notably, myricetin and quercetin formed three hydrogen bonds each, contributing to strong and stable bonds with the pocket region of PHGDH. In conclusion, ginger-derived compounds show promise in inhibiting PHGDH for the treatment of papillary thyroid cancer. However, further research is needed to validate the efficacy of these compounds and their interactions with the PHGDH in the context of thyroid cancer therapy.

Published: May 2024

It has been noticed during the COVID-19 lockdown that the labor community was greatly affected due to the lack of employment opportunities. Presently, if labor is not available due to climatic changes or workers cannot work due to the intensity of heat, it could pose a problem. As we have seen this year, many crops were damaged due to the heat wave, resulting in decrease in production and resultantly in employment opportunities for daily workers. It is evident from the statistics that people aged 21-36 are most affected by unemployment which constitute majority of the Pakistani population. At present, there is a scheme running in Pakistan for workers and poor families, under which Rs. 15,000 per family is provided four times a year. This relief amount was also given during the COVID-19 pandemic but was highly insufficient. Therefore, there is a need to amend labor policies as well as the Compensation Acts of the state by allocating certain hours at the beginning and end of the day when the temperature is lowest and workers can work. Or it could be that indoor work is done during the summers and outdoor work during moderate weather. Alternatively, during the summers, outdoor work hours could be reduced appropriately. This article attempts to analyze the impact of climatic changes on workers in Pakistan. Its purpose is to understand the current situation of workers and find alternative solutions vis-a-vis climatic changes.
Du signe au symbole. Enjeux de la théorisation saussurienne du signe pour la linguistique et les sciences du langage
Authors:   Université de Berne, Toutain Anne-Gaëlle
Published: May 2024

Nous présentons dans cet article la conception saussurienne de la dualité constitutive du signe linguistique, afin d’en faire paraître les enjeux pour la linguistique, et plus généralement pour les sciences du langage, au sens large. Nous montrons tout d’abord que la théorisation saussurienne de la langue introduit une rupture épistémologique (au sens de Bachelard) dans l’histoire de la linguistique, en théorisant, pour la première fois, le rapport son/sens, rupture corrélative de la distinction entre langue et idiome. Nous nous attachons ensuite à délinéer la construction saussurienne de l’espace du langage, qui implique une pluralité d’objets, parmi lesquels le langage, au sens de la psychanalyse, tel qu’élaboré, à la suite de Freud et de Lacan, par le psychanalyste Alain Manier.
L’introuvable signifié : De sa postulation à son repli sur le signifiant et à son éventuelle dispersion dans un référentiel socialisé
Authors:   Université de Pau, Tollis Francis
Published: May 2024

Dans le prolongement du Saussure académique du Cours, qui s’est longtemps imposé sur ses écrits authentiques plus tardivement publiés, on en est venu à représenter le signe linguistique sous l’espèce d’une entité bicéphale à deux facettes, inséparables mais distinctes. De nos jours, néanmoins, la question se pose de savoir si leur relation est de concordance (symbolique) ou de discordance (diabolique). Qu’on y voie ou non une authentique donnée, le signifiant de l’unité linguistique semble la moins évanescente de ses deux composantes. C’est donc sur la notion de signifié unitaire, pourtant bien installée dans la réflexion sur le langage, que le débat retombe. Car, avec le dualisme dont elle est inséparable et la perspective ontologique à laquelle elle prédispose, elle semble présenter au moins autant d’inconvénients que d’avantages. C’est à elle que la présente réflexion est consacrée.
La duplicité des signes : immanence et transitivité
Authors:   Université de Bergen, Utaker Arild
Published: May 2024

La critique saussurienne d’un rapport direct entre le langage et le monde implique « l’essence double du langage ». Un signe est à la fois sonorité et contenu et donné à la fois comme langue (immanence) et comme parole ou discours. Son immanence signifie une différence (écart) par rapport au monde qui constitue une condition pour en parler. C’est la transitivité au sens de Benveniste ; parler c’est «parler-de». Il s’ensuit que la duplicité des signes déconstruit l’opposition entre le « symbolique » et le «diabolique».
Signifiant, signifié, saillance(s) : le signe v(éc)u comme action
Authors:   LRL, Université Clermont Auvergne, Grégoire Michaël
Published: May 2024

Nous inscrivons notre démarche dans le paradigme de l’énaction (Varela et al. 1991) qui postule que toute cognition s’opère par le biais du mouvement dans un contexte d’interactions corps-environnement. L’objectif de cet article est de repenser la théorie du signe selon Saussure (1916/1996), présentée comme désincarnée et décontextualisée, à l’aune de ce paradigme récent, à la suite de Bottineau (2012a,b,c,d ; 2017a,b,c). Nous utilisons pour cela la Théorie de la Saillance Submorphologique (Grégoire, 2012a ; 2014 ; 2015; 2017a,b,c,d) qui postule que l’avènement du sens en discours se fonde sur un comportement simplexe (Berthoz 2009) et vicariant (Berthoz 2013) de mise en saillance d’actions bioculturelles. Nous proposerons au préalable une terminologie pour distinguer les actions linguistiques de premier ordre et les unités linguistiques de second ordre, ce qui apparaît fondamental pour tout abord des notions de signe, signifiant et signifié.
Is the symbol diabolical ? Duplicity(s) of the sign in question: introduction
Authors:   EA 7345 CLESTHIA - Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Blestel Élodie , Fortineau-Brémond Chrystelle , Poirier Marine
Published: May 2024

Is the linguistic sign, traditionally conceived as a symbol (from the Greeksym+ bol‘putting two faces together’),diabolical (from the Greekdia 'to separate')? That is the question arised by this second issue of Signifiances (Signifying), which proposes questioning the duplicity or, more exactly, the duplicities of the sign. The articles presented emanate from researchers from various theoretical horizons; but the studies gathered here bear witness to the same concern: the desireto question, to challenge, what is usually considered as given. All the terms of the definition of the sign as an arbitrary union of a signifier and a signified, symbolizing a portion of reality, are here questioned, each paper being particularly interested in this or that aspect of this conception. The elements of the definition are not seen as objects with a positive existence but rather as dynamic processes (speakerexperience) or as the result of constitutive points of view of linguistic entities (biased linguist), and most of the contributions are based on thesignifier as a dynamic process.

Nanoparticles is a unique set of properties for drug delivery including high drug loading capacity, combinatorial delivery, controlled and sustained drug release, prolonged stability and lifetime, and targeted delivery. There has been significant progress in recent years in resolving the clinical and pharmacological limitations of hydrogels for drug delivery applications. Extended drug release means the pill is formulated so that the drug is released slowly over time. This has the advantage of taking pills less often. Also means that there may be few side effects as the levels of the of drug in the body are more consistent in extended-release formulations. Extended drug release dosage including sustained-release and controlled-release dosage. Sustained release maintains the drug release over a sustained period but not at a constant rate. Controlled-release maintains drug release over a sustained period at a nearly constant rate.

The Effect of Low Carbon Energy Policy in China
Authors:   The Northeast Asia Economic Association Of Korea, Yang YiMing , Choi Dong Ook
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to examine the actual effects of policies by applying a quasi-experimental methodology to the second phase of China’s low-carbon pilot city project. Particularly, we tried to investigate whether a significant reduction in particulate matter and carbon emissions occurred through the implementation of the policy. Analyzing 31 cities in China from 2008 to 2018, the study revealed a significant decrease in both particulate matter and carbon dioxide emissions in the pilot cities compared to non-pilot cities post-policy implementation. Further categorization of cities into groups based on a GDP of over 90,000 yuan and cities with a secondary industry contribution exceeding 50% indicated that the pilot city initiatives had the most substantial effects in these areas. Additionally, deriving insights from the analysis of factors influencing particulate matter and carbon emissions, the study drew policy implications. These findings underscore the significant practical impact of municipally-led, city-specific approaches in China’s environmental policies.

Introdução: Um dos segmentos populacionais com maior concentração de casos de HIV é o de trabalhadoras do sexo, com prevalência da infecção de 4,9%. Tendo em vista a vulnerabilidade dessa população às infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST) e à AIDS, entre agosto de 2022 e julho de 2023 a Coordenadoria de IST/AIDS da Cidade de São Paulo instruiu e deu subsídio à Rede Municipal Especializada em IST/AIDS (RME) a realizar a oferta de profilaxia pré-exposição (PrEP) ao HIV, por meio do projeto PrEP na Rua, até casas de prostituição. Objetivo: Facilitar o acesso a testes rápidos (TR) de HIV e sífilis, e o acesso à PrEP como forma de prevenção ao HIV para trabalhadoras do sexo da cidade de São Paulo. Métodos: De agosto de 2022 a julho de 2023 foram realizadas 45 atividades em casas de prostituição das cinco regiões do município. Foram realizados TR para HIV nas 45 ações extramuros e TR para sífilis em 40. Em todas, foi ofertada a PrEP às trabalhadoras do sexo atendidas, nos locais. Resultados: Foram realizados, em mulheres trabalhadoras do sexo, cisgênero, transexuais e travestis, 305 TR de HIV e 285 TR de sífilis, com positividade de aproximadamente 0,3 e 13,6%, respectivamente. Do total de atendimentos realizados pelos serviços da RME nas atividades que ocorreram nos locais de trabalho dessas profissionais, aproximadamente 74% (226) acarretaram no início ou continuação do uso da PrEP por essas mulheres. Conclusão: Tendo em vista que a população atendida demonstrou interesse significativo em utilizar a PrEP como forma de prevenção ao HIV, faz-se necessário investir em estratégias extramuros e levar o serviço de IST/AIDS até esse grupo, para aproximá-lo, buscando reduzir barreiras de acesso. Pôde ser aferido que é de suma importância oferecer a continuidade da PrEP à tal população em ações de mesma configuração, favorecendo a adesão a esse método preventivo.

Published: May 2024

Introdução: Por meio de análise de dados epidemiológicos de sífilis de Guaianases, verificou-se que, em 2021, o território teve 201 gestantes com sífilis, das quais 40 evoluíram para sífilis congênita. Os pontos críticos observados foram: início tardio de pré-natal, tratamento diferente do recomendado pelo Ministério da Saúde, falha no tratamento de parceiros e números expressivos de erros de testagem rápida. Diante desses dados, fez-se necessária uma requalificação dos profissionais para execução de testagens rápidas. Objetivo: Requalificar os profissionais de Enfermagem para técnica correta de testagem rápida; evitar resultados falsos negativos de testagem rápida por erro de execução; e fortalecer o vínculo dos profissionais de Enfermagem com os interlocutores da vigilância epidemiológica e supervisão de saúde. Métodos: A requalificação de testagem rápida ocorreu por meio de demonstração direta da execução dos testes por punção digital e revisão criteriosa da técnica. Foi realizado um cronograma para visitas de requalificação nas 14 Unidades Básicas de Saúde, sendo requalificados 226 profissionais da rede. As visitas de requalificação foram realizadas em horário alternativo para que todos os auxiliares de Enfermagem e enfermeiros das instituições pudessem participar. Resultados: Apontamentos encontrados referentes à técnica: dificuldade na manipulação das pipetas; volume de sangue insuficiente puxado pela pipeta; pipetas trocadas; volume inadequado de diluente; tempo de leitura errado; armazenamento dos testes sem monitoramento de temperatura; anotação de Enfermagem deficiente. Conclusão: Foi possível a sensibilização dos profissionais de Enfermagem de Guaianases sobre a responsabilidade na execução da técnica de testes rápidos, evitando resultados falso-negativos. Percebemos que uma supervisão vigilante e ativa pode ser algo além de cobranças de resultados e aplicação de protocolos, podendo ser uma ferramenta potente de proximidade e vínculo com os profissionais de saúde, possibilitando um trabalho eficiente e de extração de dados reais de monitoramento e vigilância, pontos fundamentais para a saúde pública de qualidade.

Published: May 2024

Статья описывает процесс реставрации фрагментов фресковой живописи церкви Рождества Христова, найденных при археологических раскопках, проводившихся в Довмонтовом городе Пскова. Фрагменты фресок, с начала XVIII в. находившиеся под слоем земли, были открыты лишь во второй половине ХХ в. археологами экспедиции Государственного Эрмитажа. В статье подробно рассмотрена методика их реставрации, включающая использование синтетического полимера ПБМА в качестве клеящего вещества, специально разработанного для сохранения остатков монументальной живописи, открытой в ходе археологических изысканий.
