Stakeholders’ experiences with participative approach in tourism
Authors: Tezak-Damijanic Ana , Piculjan Marija , Ilak-Persuric Anita
Published: April 2023

Tourism stakeholders? participation is mostly needed for planning purposes
because they have better insights regarding various issues present on a
local level. A participative approach enables tourism stakeholders to
influence and control, to a certain degree, the development of tourism in
their community. However, there is a lack of research on stakeholders?
understanding of a participative approach that has been identified. This
study uses a qualitative research approach where a focus group (FG) with key
stakeholders was employed to examine the mechanism behind the participative
approach. Namely, this paper presents the findings about the local
stakeholders? experiences with a participative approach and their opinions
regarding how to foster this type of initiatives in tourism settings. Data
presented in this paper were collected during a discussion with an FG and
processed using thematic analysis. The thoughts and opinions of stakeholders
were analyzed by taking into consideration barriers and enablers related to
the implementation of a participative approach. The main focus was placed on
bottom-up initiatives, but other types were included as well. Identified
barriers and enablers were categorized into four themes: approach necessity,
appropriate stakeholders selection, correct application of the approach, and
stakeholders? motivation.
Multiple myeloma and deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary thromboembolism - incidence and risk factors
Authors: Marinkovic Jovana , Tarabar Olivera
Published: April 2023

Introduction. Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism are among
the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients.
They are common and serious complications that are affected by various risk
factors. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of
thromboembolic complications and their association with risk factors in
patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. Material and Methods. A
retrospective study included 32 patients and the following variables were
collected: age, C-reactive protein, beta-2 microglobulin, hemoglobin,
platelets, total proteins, nephrotic syndrome, fibrinogen, D-dimer, albumin,
lactate dehydrogenase, creatinine, calcium, gender, performance status, type
of multiple myeloma, clinical stage, and applied therapy. All variables were
compared between two groups of patients: group with thromboembolic
complications (deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism), and
the group without these complications. Results. The study sample included 18
men and 14 women. The patients? age ranged from 36 to 73 years. Of the 32
patients, 6 had deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremities, and 2
patients had deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism. The only
two biomarkers that showed an association with venous thromboembolism in our
patients with myeloma were elevated levels of C-reactive protein and
D-dimer. Conclusion. The incidence of thromboembolic complications in
patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma was 25%. When making the
diagnosis of myeloma, risk factors that were significantly associated with
venous thromboembolism were elevated levels of C-reactive protein and
D-dimer. The occurrence of venous thromboembolism in patients with multiple
myeloma was not associated with significantly higher mortality compared to
patients without venous thromboembolism.
Testicular ultrasound in a patient with Kallmann syndrome: A case report
Authors: Donat Daniela , Lukac Sonja , Bajkin Ivana , Vorgucin Ivana , Till Viktor , Zagorac Sladjana
Published: April 2023

Introduction. Kallmann syndrome is a genetic disorder marked by
hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia. Patients with Kallmann syndrome
have low circulating testosterone levels and low gonadotropin levels,
whereas other pituitary hormones are normal. The treatment is based on sex
steroid replacement with the aim to restore normal pubertal development and
includes attempts to restore fertility by using gonadotropin-releasing
hormones. Ultrasound examination of the testicles is a very useful
complement to determine and monitor the precise testicular volume, which is
an important prognostic factor for future fertility. Case Report. At the age
of 18, the patient was suspected of having Kallmann syndrome and was
referred to an endocrinologist. After three months of testosterone therapy,
the patient was sent for an ultrasound of the testicles. The right testicle
measured 16 x 6 mm, the left testicle 10 x 5 mm, both with a discrete
marginal circular dichroism signal. One year after the first testicular
ultrasound, the patient came for a checkup. The right testicle measured 14 x
5 mm, the left testicle 11 x 5 mm, stationary structure. Conclusion. The
diagnosis of Kallmann syndrome is often delayed, because hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism is usually not apparent until puberty, and individuals with
anosmia are often unaware of this sensory deficit. In this case, late
recognition of the syndrome, as well as late initiation of therapy, did not
give satisfactory results.

Published: April 2023

Introduction. Among infectious diseases, tuberculosis ranks first in terms of
morbidity and mortality. It mainly affects the lungs, but it can affect any
organ in the body. Case Report. A 29-year old female patient, bacillus
Calmette-Guerin vaccinated, human immunodeficiency virus-negative,
non-smoker, active athlete, presented with magnetic resonance imaging of the
spine indicating vertebral body collapse of Th10 with signs of intraosseous
infiltration, extraosseous prevertebral, and extracorporeal spread into the
spinal canal. Corpectomy of Th10 and Th11 with an anterior fusion of Th9-12
was performed by neurosurgical intervention. Histopathological examination
of the vertebral body confirmed a necrotic granulomatous inflammation. No
acid-fast bacilli were seen by Ziehl-Neelsen staining, while Mycobacterium
tuberculosis culture was positive. Chest X-ray and computed tomography were
normal, induced sputum smear microscopy was negative for Mycobacterium
tuberculosis. The antituberculosis therapy lasted for 12 months. Conclusion.
Spinal tuberculosis is a differential diagnostic problem in relation to
pyogenic infections and metastatic bone tumors.
Framing of poverty in TV reporting in Serbia
Authors: Draskovic Brankica
Published: April 2023

The paper analyzes how poverty is presented in the television discourse in Serbia. The theoretical-methodological framework of research relies on quantitative-qualitative content analysis and the concept of media framing in which the usage of patterns of selection, emphasis and exclusion result in the interpretation and assessment of certain events. The sample for analysis consisted of 35 central news programs broadcasted on five television stations on seven cyclically selected days in the period from 10 th October to 27 th October 2021. The goal of the research was to determine the dominant frames of the representation of poverty and to examine whether and to what extent used frames differ in comparison to the previous research. The results show that television framing of poverty is consistent with the general pattern of problematic media polarization in Serbia. Two frames are dominantly represented: general economic poverty and propaganda-populist frame. In the case of the first one, poverty is presented as a background theme in analytic reports on the political and macroeconomic issues. It is reduced to an impersonal approach that does not have the strength to indicate the seriousness of the multidimensional problem of poverty. The second frame is characterized by a blurred picture of poverty. It is distributed through reports on the promotional activities of the president ? the opening of factories and road infrastructure and explains the increasingly pronounced mutual connection between the ruling elite and journalists in the use of demagoga and propaganda matrices in conveying and setting frames as generally acceptable.
Common good, public interest and the commons: Historical perspective on conceptual delineations and contemporary dilemmas
Authors: Radovanovic Bojana , Prodanovic Srdjan
Published: April 2023

The paper endeavours to offer a closer definition of the concepts of common good, public interest and the commons, analysing their usage in a contemporary and historical perspective. The common good has been one of the key subjects of moral and political philosophy since ancient times. Today, the term public interest is often used as a synonym for the term common good. However, we will try to show that they carry a somewhat different meaning. A recent significant echo of the long-standing debate on the common good can be recognized in the discussions surrounding the concept of commons, which refers to cultural, material and intellectual resources to which all members of a community claim the right to use. All three notions contribute to a deeper understanding of community well-being and the way to realize that well-being. However, authors that are studied in the paper emphasize differently the importance of the collectivity and the individual in that process. The concept of the common good, especially for pre-modern thinkers, refers to the good of the community from which follows the good of its members, while the appealing to the interests of individuals is considered immoral. Later, with the development of the concept of public interest, the individual is placed in the centre of consideration, and the well-being of the community is brought into relation with what is in the interest of its members. Ultimately, the notion of the commons brings the collectivity back to focus, and ?togetherness? becomes a key term in addressing the issues of degradation and sustainability of a wide range of goods.

Authors: Woo Yu Ri , Cho Minah , Han Kyung Do , Cho Sang Hyun , Lee Ji Hyun
Published: April 2023

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder with bimodal incidence peaks in early childhood and middle-aged and older adults. Few studies have focused on the risk of dementia in AD. The aims of this study were to analyse the incidence, and risk factors for dementia in patients with AD. This nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study enrolled 38,391 adults ≥ 40 years of age with AD and 2,643,602 controls without AD from the Korean National Health Insurance System (NHIS) database from 2009 to 2016. The cumulative incidence probability of all-cause dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, or vascular dementia at 8 years was 50, 39, and 7 per 1,000 person-years in patients with AD, respectively. The adjusted risks of all-cause dementia (hazard ratio (HR), 1.072; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.026–1.120), and Alzheimer’s disease (HR 1.051; 95% CI 1.000–1.104) were increased in patients with AD. The effect of AD on the development of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer’s dementia varied according to age and diabetes mellitus (all p for interaction, < 0.05). The risks of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer’s disease were increased in patients with AD. Management of modifiable risk factors is important for preventing dementia in patients with AD.
A Rare Case of Vaginal Agglutination in Reproductive Age Group
Authors: VV Mishra
Published: April 2023

Labia minora partial or total adhesion is known as labial agglutination. It commonly occurs in postmenopausal or prepubertal women and is accompanied by low oestrogen levels. Due to the high levels of oestrogen in women in the reproductive age group, labial agglutination is uncommon. Due to its uncommon presentation and a unique approach to treatment in this age group, where the patient has been suffering from infancy, we are presenting a case of labial agglutination in a female who is 22 years old. After a comprehensive clinical examination, extensive history-taking and all necessary laboratory and imaging tests, we were able to make the right diagnosis, which was then treated with expert surgery. Her abnormal vestibular structure was treated with this method without any complications. Patient was treated by surgery i.e. labial adhesiolysis under vaginoscopic approach using our standard hysteroscope light and camera. Labial adhesion can be treated both medically and surgically however treatment is individualized in every case ranging from medical treatment to minimally invasive surgery or invasive skillful surgery.

Authors: Al-Mayyahi Nabeel N.
Published: April 2023

In the present study, numerical analysis has been employed to investigate the distribution of velocity and temperature of the air in space conditioned with corrugated ceiling radiant cooling panels (RCP). The model of the study is a three-dimensional room with dimensions of (5.0*4.0*3.2) m. The initial and boundary conditions of the models are set to start the simulation in which the mean cooling panel temperature (Tmp) is (15 °C), where Tmp must not be lesser than that variety to avoid the danger of water vapor condensation on the surface of panels and tubes. The air inlet temperatures Tin is taken as (15, 20, and 25) °C and inlet velocities Vin are (1 and 0.5) m/s with an outdoor air temperature of (40 °C). Ansys Fluent software is considered in this study to simulate the flow field under the influence of several factors including outdoor air temperature, mean panel temperature, air inlet velocity, and temperature. The outcomes show an improvement in the overall cooling capacity and the mixed convection heat transfer. Many of the calculated outcomes were displayed as velocity vectors and temperature contour diagrams. Numerical studies assist in using the chilled ceiling technique for cooling aims in Iraqi weather for its simplicity, easiness, and better comfort presentation.

Circumanal gland (CG) tumors are common neoplasms of older dogs. Of these, only circumanal gland carcinomas show clear metastatic potential, and even so metastases seem to be uncommon. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process that facilitates the initial steps of metastasis, and to date it has not been systematically investigated in CG tumors. Insight into the occurrence of this process would be a valuable asset in understanding the biology of these tumors. To test the occurrence of EMT we used three immunohistochemical markers that alter their expression in this process, namely – E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Additionally, we used the Ki-67 marker of proliferation. The samples used consisted of 15 adenomas, 11 epitheliomas, 21 well-differentiated carcinomas, seven poorly differentiated carcinomas, and ten samples of normal CG. The results of N-cadherin were negative for all samples. E-cadherin was highly expressed in all groups, but was slightly lower in semi-malignant and malignant tumors; MMP-9 marking was generally very low, but significantly higher in semi-malignant or malignant tumors when compared to benign or non-neoplastic CG. The index of proliferation (Ki-67) was significantly higher for semi-malignant or malignant CG tumors when compared to benign CG tumors or normal CG. These results show that with an increase in the histologic malignancy of these tumors there is a slight drop in E-cadherin, a slight rise in MMP-9, and a significant increase in Ki-67. Therefore, these results suggest the possibility that EMT occurs within the malignant or even semi-malignant forms of CG tumors, but probably as a rare and late event. Further studies are needed to prove or disprove these statements.

Proteus anguinus (olm) is an amphibian endemic to underground cave systems of the Dinaric karst of Central Europe, adapted to a life in complete darkness. Recent studies have demonstrated the global decline of amphibians due to poorly understood microbiological diseases, emphasizing just how little is known about the natural microflora of amphibians. Not much is known about the olm’s microbiota in their cave habitats, and nothing is known about the microbiology of animals washed to the surface. This observational study describes the microbiological analysis of the skin, cloaca and oral cavity of six olms collected from their cave habitats, and 16 collected after being washed out by flows from two springs, to learn more about the olm’s normal microbiota and possible changes after contact with the different environmental conditions on the surface. Standard microbiological procedures, MALDI-TOF and Real-Time PCR were used for microbiological species identification. All animals tested negative for Ranavirus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans and Chlamydia spp. The most abundant fungi isolated were Penicillium spp. and Cladosporium spp. The washed out animals showed a higher diversity of bacterial flora than those from cave habitats, with Acinetobacter johnsonii, Aeromonas hydrophila, Bacillus spp. and Janthinobacterium lividum as the most frequently identified isolates.

Pathogenic streptococci are implicated in clinical and subclinical mastitis. Most laboratories identify streptococci on the basis of microbiological examination, but molecular diagnostic methods have become the gold standard of mastitis diagnosis in the last few years. Therefore, this study aims to determine the agreement of microbiological and molecular identification of streptococci isolates from bovine milk. Milk samples were taken before the evening milking into sterile tubes. Samples were examined bacteriologically by inoculation on aesculin blood agar. Identification of grown colonies was carried out using internationally accepted methodology. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was the reference method used to confirm Streptococcus sp. in all bacterial isolates. In the study, 54 strains of bacteria isolated from milk samples from the udder quarters of dairy cows with subclinical mastitis were examined using molecular methods. By conventional microbiological examination, the strains were identified to the species (Strep. agalactiae, Strep. dysgalactiae and Strep. uberis) or the genus level (Streptococcus spp.) without final identification of the species. On the basis of 16S rRNA analysis, 47 out of 54 examined streptococcal strains were found to belong to the genus Streptococcus sp. Among the streptococci identified, 6 isolates belonged to Strep. agalactiae, ¸8 isolates to Strep. dysgalactiae, 2 isolates to Strep. canis and 31 isolates belonged to Strep. uberis. Among the seven remaining isolates, three were identified as Enterococcus faecalis and four as Lactococcus lactis. Agreement between the identification procedures used was fair, with a Kappa index of 0.2181 (SE=0.0612; Z=3.56; p=0.0002).
Theoretical and conceptual aspects of customs regulation of export
Authors: Neudakhin V. S.
Published: April 2023

The development of export is one of the most important directions of the economic policy of the Russian Federation at the present stage. Customs regulation is one of the main instruments of economic policy aimed at the development of exports.

The concept of the customs regulation of the export of goods, as an element of the system of state regulation of foreign trade is analyzed in the article. The features of customs regulation of export, which distinguish it from other areas of the state’s economic policy in relation to the development of export, are determined. Particular attention is paid to setting the goal of customs regulation of the export of goods as a benchmark for assessing the quality and development of tools of customs regulation of the export of goods in a specific industry. It is concluded that, regardless of the regulated industry, the goal of customs regulation of export is to ensure the domestic market (avoiding shortages) or restructuring export. This goal is achieved by influencing the volume of exports of goods by measures of customs–tariff and non–tariff regulation.
The impact of crisis manifestations on the trends of socio–economic indicators of the Vladimir region
Authors: Vlasenko K. A.
Published: April 2023

: Over the past few years, the Russian Federation has been repeatedly exposed to external negative influences. The destabilizing effects of the pandemic and sanctions require special attention from the Government of the country. Various anti–crisis measures are being developed, including measures to support the most vulnerable socio–economic systems.

The stability of the country’s economy to crisis manifestations depends on the level of economic development of individual subjects. Accordingly, it is necessary to systematically analyze their trends and monitor changes.

This article presents the indicators of the Vladimir region. The dynamics of the population and average per capita income for the period 2010–2021 are graphically presented, as well as the forecast up to 2025. The article examines the change in the growth rates of the main socio[economic indicators for three periods: pre–crisis and crisis. To systematize the studied parameters, a factor analysis was carried out, which allowed them to be divided into 3 groups: fixed assets, the human factor and innovative activity. A high direct correlation was revealed between the latter and GRP.

The study examines theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of the concept of «level and quality of life of the population», the main legal acts regulating the activities of authorities in this area in the Russian Federation. Effective methods of improving the standard of living and quality of life of the population of any state, ensuring their sustainable growth in a complex dynamic and unstable environment are the core of the modern economy. Process management, aimed at improving the standard of living and quality of life of the country’s population, first of all, the need to solve problems of high complexity and importance, for example, the dilemma of economic growth and living standards, in connection with the adoption of important informed management decisions on this problem, because this is a key and a difficult question. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the fact that in order to achieve a high standard of living and improve the quality of life of the population of our country, it is necessary to: implement the main goals of socio[economic development at the municipal, federal and state levels; getting rid of the differentiation of the socio[economic growth of regions, leading to the stratification of society; improving the quality of labor, production efficiency, the level of quality of products. Improving the quality of life makes it possible to provide additional jobs, develop all spheres of human life, change its infrastructure, change the demographic situation, determine the need to create a decent standard of living for the population, reduce the ranking of society in terms of income as a system of legal and socio[economic guarantees that provide decent and socially acceptable the quality of life of society.
Poverty as a socio–economic problem in Russia
Authors: Ghukasyan N. T.
Published: April 2023

Poverty is a condition in which an individual or group has insufficient resources to meet their basic needs, such as food, water, shelter, clothing, medical care, and education. It can lead to a lack of access to the opportunities and resources necessary for a decent life, and limit opportunities for personal and professional development. In rural areas, the population has a predominantly underdeveloped transportation infrastructure. Working poverty is widespread in Russia — a condition when a person working on a permanent basis does not receive sufficient income to ensure a minimum standard of living. The article considers approaches to the definition of poverty, categories of the poor, legislative initiatives to support the poor population. Measures of targeted support to socially vulnerable categories of the population for further reduction of poverty in Russia are proposed.

Authors: Madhiarasan Manoharan
Published: April 2023

Energy monitoring facilitates quick access and helps to know the power utilization and normal and abnormal conditions. Nowadays, many applications and majorly industries face problems regarding power quality. In the power system, the power factor plays a vital role in power quality. The addition of capacitance overcomes the decay of the power factor and reduces the power loss. This paper aims to build an automatic power factor correction (APFC) system, which can monitor the energy consumption of a system and automatically improve its power factor. In the design, an open-source energy monitoring library has been implemented for accurate power calculations. This paper carried out the work of hardware experimentation of energy monitoring and automatic power factor correction using a capacitor bank with the association of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Build a mobile application to more simply and comfortablely monitor power and correct automatically. The developed hardware model’s performance is validated with and without load conditions. The result proves that the designed Raspberry Pi-based energy monitoring and automatic power factor correction system outperforms to improve the power factor without human interaction by properly switching the capacitor bank. Hence, the power loss, penalty, and power quality-related problems were resolved based on the proposed approach. The proposed design is compact, simple, and easy to implement and aids in power system advancement.

Regeneration of Raja (Musa AAB Group) and Kepok (Musa ABB Group) bananas on various stages of in vitro culture
Authors: Shafira Puti Nazihah  , Rahayu Megayani Sri , Ni Made Armini Wiendi
Published: April 2023

Banana group can be divided into two groups based on their method of its utilization. Banana group that can be eaten immediately after ripening is called "dessert banana", e.g., Raja, while the group that needs particular processing before consumption is called "plantain banana", e.g., Kepok. This study aimed to compare the growth of Raja banana with Kepok plantain through experiments at three stages of the in vitro culture media: the shoot initiation, shoot multiplication, and plantlet acclimatization, also to compare the growth of Raja bananas with Kepok plantains in response to cytokinins BAP and TDZ at shoot multiplication stage. Planting material was in the form of rhizomes that was prepared with the same size. The experiment was performed using a completely randomized design. Results showed that Kepok plantain could adapt faster to the media condition than Raja banana; the phenomenon was evident in the growing speed of Kepok during shoot initiation stage. The proportion of the B genome did not show a direct effect on shoot induction at the multiplication stage or enlargement and organ formation at the acclimatization stage. Shoot induction at the multiplication stage depended more on the composition of the media used. The combination of BAP 3 mg L-1 and TDZ 0.01 mg L-1 in MS media produced the best shoot induction rate, and TDZ 0.01 mg L-1 in MS media had the highest shoot elongation rate.

POCUS for Diastolic Dysfunction: A Review of the Literature
Authors: King Samantha , Salerno Alexis , Downing Jessica , Wynne Zachary , Parker Jordan , Miller Taylor , Tewelde Semhar
Published: April 2023

Emergency and critical care physicians frequently encounter patients presenting with dyspnea and normal left ventricular systolic function who may benefit from early diastolic evaluation to determine acute patient management. The current American Society of Echocardiography Guidelines approach to diastolic evaluation is often impractical for point of care ultrasound (POCUS) evaluation, and few studies have evaluated the potential use of a simplified approach. This article reviews the literature on the use of a simplified diastolic evaluation to assist in determining acute patient management.
Use Of POCUS for the Paediatric Patient with an Undifferentiated Upper Limb Injury
Authors: McCreary David , White Alex
Published: April 2023

A 2-year-old girl presented to the Paediatric Emergency Department following an unwitnessed injury to her left arm while playing at nursery limiting further examination. On assessment she was reluctant to use her left arm and further examination was difficult. In cases of unwitnessed and undifferentiated elbow injuries point of care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used to evaluate for elbow joint effusion, fracture, or radial head subluxation, also known as nursemaid’s elbow. Pulled elbow is a commonly encountered paediatric injury but based on the history and examination findings it may not always be obvious. We present an approach to the child with an undifferentiated elbow injury incorporating POCUS as a means of increasing the reliability of findings on clinical examination.

Abstract 
Point of care Ultrasound (POCUS) has been adopted into clinical practice across many fields of medicine. Undergraduate medical education programs have recognized the need to incorporate POCUS training into their curricula, traditionally done in small groups with in-person sessions. This method is resource intensive and requires sufficient equipment and expertise. These requirements are often cited as barriers for implementation. During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, POCUS education was required to adapt to physical distancing regulations, giving rise to novel teaching methods for POCUS. This article outlines the implementation of a POCUS teaching session before and during the pandemic. It describes how these innovations can scale POCUS teaching and overcome barriers moving forward. A flipped classroom model was implemented for all learners. Learners were given an introductory POCUS module before the scheduled in-person or virtual teaching session. Sixty-nine learners participated in conventional in-person teaching, while twenty-two learners participated in virtual teaching following the pandemic-related restrictions. Learners completed a written test before and following the teaching. In-person learners were assessed using an objective structured assessment of ultrasound skills (OSAUS) pre- and post-learning sessions. A follow-up survey was conducted three years after the teaching sessions were completed. Both in-person and virtual groups demonstrated statistically significant improvement in knowledge scores (p <0.0001). Both groups had similar post-test learning scores (74.2 ± 13.6% vs. 71.8 ± 14.5 %, respectively). On follow-up questionnaires, respondents indicate that they found our online and in-person modes of teaching helpful during their residency. POCUS education continues to face a variety of barriers, including limitations in infrastructure and expertise. This study describes an adapted POCUS teaching model that is scalable, uses minimal infrastructure and retains the interactivity of conventional small-group POCUS teaching. This program can serve as a blueprint for other institutions offering POCUS teaching, especially when conventional teaching methods are limited.

Objetivo: Analisar a incidência de depressão, ansiedade e desesperança, a saúde mental dos agentes comunitários de saúde no cenário da atenção primária à saúde diante da COVID-19. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal quantitativo, com abordagem descritiva, conduzida com 151 Agentes Comunitários de Saúde que atuaram frente a pandemia da COVID-19 no Recife e Região Metropolitana. Para análises estatísticas foram utilizados os teste Qui-quadrado de Pearson ou o teste Exato de Fisher. O estudo foi aprovado por Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. Resultados: A partir da análise dos índices de ansiedade, depressão e desesperança mostrou-se significativa a relação com os dados obtidos através do questionário sociodemográfico e atuação profissional, frente à COVID-19. Revelou-se que a maioria dos agentes comunitários de saúde apresentou grau de ansiedade, depressão e desesperança moderado/grave e saúde mental fragilizada diante das vivencias de eventos estressantes no último ano, pandêmico. Conclusão: Este estudo ressalta a importância de identificar à demanda psicológica no tocante a relação de trabalho em tempos da COVID-19, uma vez que esses fatores podem desenvolver transtornos psiquiátricos e afastamento laboral. Podendo traçar estratégias que contribuam para a saúde mental do agente comunitário de saúde, nesse período e principalmente pós-pandemia.

Objetivo: descrever um caso de lesão do nervo alveolar inferior após coronectomia de um terceiro molar inferior incluso associado a um cisto dentígero, além do acompanhamento pós-operatório de dois anos. Detalhamento do caso: paciente masculino, 45 anos, apresentava o elemento 38 incluso e associado a lesão cística. Exames radiográficos evidenciaram sua íntima relação com o canal da mandíbula e o aumento da lesão ao longo dos anos, com consequente deslocamento do 38. Foi realizada a enucleação do cisto com coronectomia e sepultamento das raízes, contudo, no pós-operatório, constatou-se a parestesia da região. Imediatamente iniciou-se a terapia medicamentosa e com laser de diodo de baixa potência infravermelho. Após 2 anos parte da sensibilidade retornou, porém a parestesia ainda persiste no hemilábio e nos dentes inferiores anteriores do lado esquerdo; já as raízes sepultadas encontram-se sem nenhum sinal de lesão associada. Considerações finais: mesmo tomando cuidados, quando há uma íntima relação entre um dente e o nervo alveolar inferior, o risco de lesão nervosa permanece. O índice desta complicação apresenta variações, podendo ser o dano ser temporário ou permanente. O retorno da sensibilidade é multifatorial, não existindo um protocolo definitivo para o tratamento da parestesia.
O adoecimento psíquico nos policiais militares

Published: April 2023

Objetivo: Revisar sobre o processo de adoecimento psíquico nos policiais militares por meio de uma revisão narrativa de literatura. Revisão bibliográfica: Desde o ingresso na corporação, o Policial Militar sofre um processo de despersonalização marcada pelo objetivo de ser imutável e um verdadeiro herói. A atividade laboral incerta, de alta periculosidade e pressão acarreta transtorno de ansiedade, distúrbios do sono, maior suscetibilidade a desenvolver o etilismo e pensamentos de autoextermínio. A atual atividade militar se encontra desestruturada quando o assunto é assistência em saúde mental ao profissional. Inúmeras corporações, de diversos lugares do Brasil, expressam um adoecimento causado pela exposição crônica ao estresse e insegurança. Muitos policiais relatam a necessidade de acompanhamento psicológico, porém afirmam que sofreriam com o estigma de estarem em vulnerabilidade, além do afastamento do Estado nesses momentos. Considerações finais: A conscientização da tropa por meio de palestras, terapia em grupo além de um serviço multidisciplinar na localidade de trabalho possibilitará medidas diagnósticas precoces. Além da instituição, o uso de cartilhas informativas sobre sintomas dos principais transtornos mentais acometidos por policiais efetivaria a ação da família em auxiliar no tratamento.

Introduction: Midwives are at the forefront of the breastfeeding success of mothers, but the breastfeeding experiences of midwives who are mothers are unknown. Aim: This study was planned to determine the breastfeeding experiences of midwife mothers and the barriers to their breastfeeding. Materials and Methods: The study used a cross-sectional and descriptive design. A total of 177 midwives who had breastfeeding experience were included in the study. Results: The mean age of the midwife mothers was 39.71 ± 7.17 years and 53.1% had 2 children. The first breastfeeding time was 152.76 ± 471.97 minutes, the duration of breastfeeding was 14.88 ± 9.87 months, the duration of exclusive breastfeeding was 4.43 ± 1.65 months, and the duration of maternity leave was 6.16 ± 6.30 months. It was determined that 38.4% gave pre-lacteal feeding. It was found that some of the participants could not breastfeed because 34.5% of them did not have enough milk, 28.2% took short maternity leave, 26.6% had a busy work schedule, 24.9% had long working hours, 22.6% did not have a suitable place to express milk, 18.6% did not have enough time, and 10.7% were concerned about COVID-19 transmission. A statistically significant correlation was found between exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months and breastfeeding up to the age of 2 and pre-lacteal feeding, time of going back to work after maternity leave, psychological status, and sleep status (p

High-molecular compounds have been studied, as well as their relationship with other materials and modifications made based on various additives introduced. Their findings helped to initiate the development of technologies providing control over the adsorption process at the phase boundary and polymerization under thermal conditions. The paper discusses a method developed involving thermoplastic polymer of the polyolefin (polyethylene) class applied to concrete and metal surfaces. This material has high adhesive capacity, is resistant to abrasion, corrosion and other destructive factors. Thanks to its improved characteristics this polymer can be considered as an additional waterproofing material in the designs of engineered safety barriers for radioactive waste Class 3 and 4 disposal in near-surface disposal facilities (NSDF).

В статье представлена оценка способов формирования семей-воспитательниц, используемых в производстве маточного молочка с использованием пчелиных семей типа «Московский» карпатской породы. Показано, что при формировании семьи-воспитательницы применяя неполное осиротение, вмонтированной ганемановской решёткой площадью 14*14 ячеек, располагающаяся внизу диафрагмы, в течение всего пчеловодного сезона можно производить личиночное молочко. При постановке прививочных рамок с 80-90 мисочками от семьи-воспитательницы можно получить до 10,0-15,0 г личиночного молочка. Установлено, что только за один отбор с 50 прививочных рамок можно получить до 718,20 г маточного молочка.

The article presents an assessment of the methods of formation of nurse families used in the production of royal jelly using bee colonies of the «Moskovsky» type of the Carpathian breed. It is shown that during the formation of a caregiver family, using incomplete orphanage, a built-in Hahnemannian lattice with an area of 14 * 14 cells, located at the bottom of the diaphragm, during the entire beekeeping season, larval milk can be produced. When setting up grafting frames with 80-90 bowls, up to 10.0-15.0 g of larval milk can be obtained from the host family. It has been established that up to 718.2 g of royal jelly can be obtained from 50 grafting frames only for one selection.
