Knowledge and Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence Use in Screening for Diabetic Retinopathy in Botswana: Survey for Eye Care Clinicians
Authors: Kgame Tshegofatso , Wu Huiqun , Geng Jinsong
Published: May 2023

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), is one of the most prevalent visual impairments in the country and is on the rise. The study seeks to investigate eye care physicians' knowledge and perceptions on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in screening for DR in the country. Materials and Methods A convenience sample of voluntary willing participants completed an online survey. All information was entered in Microsoft excel and analyzed utilizing SPSS v22.0. Results 83% of clinicians indicated no awareness of AI fundus examinations. 66.7% had no understanding what the word AI meant. 100% of clinicians said they have never used AI software for DR screening. The study's knowledge of the use of AI was tested using "AI fundus exams", and as a result, it was poor. There was a 66.7% positive attitude towards employing AI-integrated workflow vs a 33.3% negative attitude. 50% strongly agreed that artificial intelligence would help the field of DR screening. Conclusion Overall, clinicians have limited knowledge on the use of AI technology. Regardless, they are optimistic about its possibilities, thus AI adoption and training for eye care practitioners on how to use it should be considered in the country's public health system.
Simulation study on 300mm monocrystalline silicon celerity single crystal
Authors: Ma Yuanliang , Hui Baofeng
Published: May 2023

Since entering the 21st century, the survival and development of mankind are faced with great challenges and great opportunities. With the decrease of petroleum, coal, natural gas and other resources, a large number of harmful products generated in the combustion process of fossil fuels have caused incalculable adverse effects on human living environment. Thermal stress in crystals is one of the key factors affecting the properties of solar level monocrystalline silicon. In this paper, the relationship between the heat loss mode and the stress in crystal is studied. If carbon is introduced into the crystal growth process, it will promote the formation of oxygen precipitation and SiC precipitated phase, resulting in increased stress in the crystal, thus affecting the quality of monocrystalline silicon. The distribution of carbon impurities in the melt is closely related to the convection behavior of the melt. The carbon atoms in the atmosphere diffused into the melt mainly through the free surface area near the crucible wall. By adjusting the structural parameters of symmetric magnetic field and asymmetric magnetic field, the convection intensity in the carbon atom doped region can be suppressed, the thickness of carbon atom diffusion layer can be increased, and the oxygen content and distribution uniformity in the crystal can be controlled by magnetic pull technology to improve the crystal quality.
Analysis of carbon emission reduction potential of construction industry in Liaoning Province based on system dynamics
Authors: Sun Yitong , Li Lihong
Published: May 2023

The rapid increase in carbon emissions is one of the main causes of environmental degradation, and the construction industry contributes 40% of carbon emissions. This paper uses system dynamics to analyze the carbon emission reduction potential of construction enterprises in Liaoning Province in order to realize the national "dual carbon" goal as soon as possible. First, the factors affecting carbon emissions are summed up by combining the calculation formula of carbon emissions of buildings in the whole life cycle and related literatures. Then use the environmental characteristics of Liaoning Province to establish a carbon emission reduction model, carry out simulation simulation and validity test, and obtain the relationship between the influencing factors and carbon emission reduction. Finally, a scenario analysis is carried out in four aspects: energy technology, building materials production technology, transportation technology and waste recycling technology. A series of conclusions are drawn, such as building materials production technology and energy technology are the key aspects of implementing carbon emission reduction in the construction industry in Liaoning Province. The whole work provides a theoretical basis for Liaoning Province to successfully achieve the "14th Five-Year" goal, and then achieve carbon emission reduction and sustainable development.
Two organic salts mainly relying on hydrogen bonding: pyromellitic acid phenanthroline salts
Authors: Tang Xiaoyong , Shi Guang
Published: May 2023

Two pure organic supramolecular complexes (Hphen)+[C6H2(COOH)3(COO)]-·H2O(1) and (Hphen)+ [C6H2(COOH)3(COO)]- (2) were synthesized by solution self-assembly method (natural volatilization method). The two organic salts were characterized by X-ray Single Crystal Diffraction, Elemental Analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Fluorescence Spectroscopy (FL), etc. The results showed that two Organic complexes mainly rely on weak chemical effects such as hydrogen bonds to stably exist. Hydrogen bond is a bridge that connects molecules to form supramolecular compounds, it assembles ligand molecules (or ions) into new molecular aggregates with one-dimensional or multi-dimensional structure, and plays a huge role in the formation of the supramolecular structure of complexes. The complex (1) emits a strong characteristic spectrum of o-phenanthroline under 281 nm ultraviolet light.
Analysis of instantaneous surface settlement of tunnel construction in composite stratum based on semi-analytical method
Authors: Tian Guanfeng , Wu Jing , Yu Xinmeng
Published: May 2023

It is important for shield tunneling safety to predict and control the instantaneous surface settlement. Particularly, the complex geological condition can make accurate prediction more difficult. To adapt to the stratum distribution, a semi-analytical method is established by introducing the finite layer method into tunnel mechanical analysis. Firstly, based on the elastic solution of the finite layer method, the horizontal flexibility coefficient of tunneling and the surface settlement are obtained by applying effective thrust to the excavation face. Secondly, two influencing factors are analyzed, including the penetration of shield tunneling and the Poisson ratio of geotechnical parameter. The relationship formula between the measured value and the theoretical value of the maximum settlement is derived through data fitting. Finally, the settlement prediction method of tunneling is proved to be practical, which provide a new ideal for the mechanical analysis of tunnels in composite strata.
Application of Adapter pattern in Eclipse plug-in development
Authors: Yang Xianchao
Published: May 2023

The Adapter design pattern is widely used in software development. It can transform the interface of one class into another desired by the client, so that two classes that cannot work together because of interface mismatch can work together[1]. It is the core of the extensibility of the Eclipse platform. It is especially important in Eclipse, and it is necessary for anyone who is working on or preparing for Eclipse plug-in development to master it. It is a necessary condition for becoming a good developer. Compared with the traditional Adapter mode, there are some differences in the use of Adapter mode in Eclipse. From the perspective of Eclipse plug-in development, this paper firstly introduces the traditional Adapter mode, and then introduces the Adapter mode in Eclipse plug-in. And through the example let the reader have a deeper understanding.

Interventional pain management bears a significant risk of hemorrhagic complications. This risk increases in patientswith coagulation disorders and those taking anticoagulant therapy. The population of the latter is growing, and manynew drugs and new treatment regimens have become widespread in recent years. The latest guidelines on the periproceduraluse of anticoagulant therapy also apply to regional anaesthesia techniques for the treatment of chronicand acute pain. However, despite the existence of guidelines and recommendations, decision-making difficultiescan still be encountered in the practice of interventional pain management. The presentation includes a summaryof existing recommendations for the prophylactic use of anticoagulants and antiaggregants in clinical practice inthe periprocedural period. Also included is a discussion of selected concerns regarding their use in the practice ofinterventional pain management.
REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION OF EFIC EJP: 27 (2023): 4453: A systematic review and meta-analysis of neuropathicpain associated with coronavirus disease 2019
Authors: Di Stefano Giulia , Falco Pietro , Galosi Eleonora , Di Pietro Giuseppe , Leone Caterina , Truini Andrea
Published: May 2023

Background and objective: Neuropathic pain is an occasionally reported complication of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) that has received increased attention in scientific literature. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, weaimed to provide information on the frequency of neuropathic pain associated with COVID-19.

Databases and data treatment: We systematically reviewed and analysed literature regarding neuropathic pain associatedwith COVID-19. Literature searches were conducted in PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases. We consideredprospective and retrospective studies published up until September 2022 (limitations included English language, full-textpublications and studies including at least 10 patients). A random effects meta-analysis was performed and heterogeneityand publication bias were assessed.

Results: We identified 149 studies. We included 17 studies in the systematic review, and six studies reporting the frequencyof neuropathic pain in the acute/ subacute phase of COVID-19 in the meta-analysis. The estimated frequency of neuropathicpain ranged between 0.4 and 25%. Forest plot analysis showed that the random effect overall frequency was 10% (95%confidence interval: 515%), with a high level of heterogeneity (Chi2 = 104; Tau2 = 0.004; df = 5; I2 = 95%; test for overalleffect: Z = 3.584; p < 0.0005). The overall risk of bias was moderate in all studies selected, particularly due to the poordescription of neuropathic pain diagnostic criteria.

Conclusions: The pooled estimated frequency of neuropathic pain associated with COVID-19 should be considered withcaution due to the high heterogeneity across studies and the poor description of the neuropathic pain diagnostic criteriaapplied.

Significance: Emerging evidence supports the development of neuropathic pain as a complication of COVID-19. However,longitudinal studies enrolling consecutive patients with COVID-19 that detail the diagnostic criteria for neuropathic pain areneeded to better assess the frequency of this condition.
Publika TV serija u Hrvatskoj
Authors: Karuza Podgorelec Vesna
Published: May 2023

Početkom 21. stoljeća publika televizijskih serija u Hrvatskoj se fragmentira, a na zemaljskim televizijama dominaciju preuzimaju turske telenovele. Cilj istraživanja bio je usporediti gledatelje turskih telenovela i one koji to nisu po pitanju vrijednosne kulturne bliskosti s Turskom, odlika njihovoga kulturnog kapitala povezanih s kulturnim angažmanom i znanjem stranih jezika te njihovoga televizijskog ukusa. Istraživanje ujedno po prvi puta na hrvatskom uzorku odrasle populacije klasificira televizijske igrane i zabavne sadržaje na tri žanrovska stila (niskoga, srednjeg i visokoga kulturnog statusa) te utvrđuje povezanosti između kulturnog kapitala gledatelja i preferencija prema tim stilovima. Istraživanje je provedeno metodom snježne grude putem društvene mreže Facebook. Sudjelovalo je 1 185 sudionika podijeljenih u dvije skupine: gledatelji (316) i negledatelji turskih telenovela (869). Rezultati upućuju na to da gledatelji turskih telenovela izražavaju vrijednosnu kulturnu bliskost s Turskom i slabijega su kulturnog angažmana te poznavanja stranih jezika od negledatelja. Uskog su spektra žanrovskih preferencija, uglavnom prema sadržajima niskoga kulturnog statusa, a najviše prema domaćim telenovelama. Negledatelji turskih telenovela nemaju izraženu vrijednosnu kulturnu bliskost s Turskom, snažnije su kulturno angažirani i bolje poznaju strane jezike od gledatelja turskih telenovela. Prihvaćaju igrane žanrove srednjeg i visokoga kulturnog statusa, a ignoriraju narative niskoga kulturnog statusa. Vezano za kulturnu stratifikaciju povezanu s televizijskim ukusima, najveće, statistički značajne pozitivne povezanosti nađene su između kulturnog angažmana, znanja stranih jezika i obrazovanja sa stilom visokoga kulturnog statusa te potom sa stilom srednjega kulturnog statusa. Sa stilom niskoga kulturnog statusa povezanosti su negativne.

The Making of Madie Beatrice Hall
Authors: Hendricks Wanda A.
Published: May 2023

This chapter examines the development of Madie Hall through the lens of her father and mother as they became key players in the growth of the new south industrial city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It explores the successes of educated southern Black professionals like her father and mother and the ways they leveraged their social and economic power with white oligarchs to upbuild Black Winston-Salem. The price for their success was an acceptance of racial segregation, the denial of political rights, a race riot, and an inability to institutionalize a cohesive health-care system for African Americans. The tricky terrain under which Black professionals operated exposes the ways in which white supremacy both offered opportunity and constrained Hall’s life and determined her future.

Chapter 2 explores the impact of racism and sexism on Madie Hall’s life and professional choices. Encouraged to be a teacher like her mother, she entered Shaw University to pursue a degree and afterward found employment in the segregated schools of Winston-Salem. Denied the opportunity to pursue a medical degree like her father, she became an entrepreneur and opened a dress shop. Highlighting Hall’s drive as a Christian mission of service, the chapter also introduces her initial engagement with women’s organizations like the YWCA and the ways in which her talents as a musician, director, and actor expanded her role in the church, promised new possibilities, and enriched the cultural milieu of the city.

Chapter 6 analyzes the various ways Madie Hall Xuma adapted to her new home in Sophiatown, a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa, and to her role as the wife of the newly elected president of the African National Congress (ANC), the most powerful Black political organization in the country. She used her intersecting identities—her Black racial heritage, American nationality and activism among women—as tools to engage with women in the National Council of African Women (NCAW), develop the Zenzele Club, and become president of the African National Congress Women’s League (ANCWL). In the process, she became one of the most revered public figures in South Africa.
The Establishment and Management of the Italian Opera Company at the Vienna Court Theater
Authors: Link Dorothea
Published: May 2023

The introduction provides an explication of how the Italian buffa company grew out of the singspiel that preceded it, followed by an examination of the company as an institution, first, for its management personnel (consisting of Emperor Joseph II, Count Franz Xaver Orsini Rosenberg, Lorenzo Da Ponte, and Antonio Salieri), and second, for questions about its operation, such as how singers were engaged, how roles were assigned, and how repertoire was selected.
Casting Information in Scores and Librettos of the Operas Produced in the Italian Company, 1783–91
Authors: Link Dorothea
Published: May 2023

Given the importance of accurate casting information, this chapter investigates the casting annotations found in some scores and librettos from the surviving performance material. The scores belong to two collections: the opera house’s performance scores and the court library’s personal scores for the emperor. The casting information contained in both is compared to sparser but more reliable sources such as Count Karl Zinzendorf’s diary, newspapers, and theater posters, to verify its accuracy. Much of it turns out to be incorrect and, in the case of ten librettos, the casting annotations can be shown to have been made by a library patron in the mid-twentieth century.
Nancy Storace: The Italian Company, 1783–84
Authors: Link Dorothea
Published: May 2023

This chapter examines the first year of the company’s existence, its makeup of expensive Italian singers and cheaper home-grown German singers, and the operas in which they were cast. The three pillars of the company were the imported singers: the prima donna Nancy Storace, the buffo caricato Francesco Benucci, and the mezzo carattere Stefano Mandini. While the men were indisputably important, the success or failure of an opera depended entirely on Storace, for operas in which she sang became hits and operas in which other women sang the prima-donna role vanished quickly, despite the participation of the men.
Anna Morichelli Comes and Goes, 1787–88
Authors: Link Dorothea
Published: May 2023

The chapter contrasts Nancy Storace with her replacement in the Italian opera company, Anna Morichelli. New operas were mounted especially for the latter. For this year only, Stefano Mandini replaced Francesco Benucci as the primo buffo playing opposite the prima donna. The visiting singer Brigida Georgi Banti gave two concerts calculated to serve as auditions for the potentially vacant position of prima donna. The chapter shows how, as the season progressed, Morichelli’s presence on stage diminished while Luisa Laschi’s increased, culminating in the huge seria role that Salieri wrote for her in the imperial wedding opera Axur.
Luisa Laschi: The Year of the Three Prime Donne, 1788–89
Authors: Link Dorothea
Published: May 2023

The chapter focuses on the personnel problems that the Italian opera company at the Viennese court faced with its prime donne. When Nancy Storace did not return, Luisa Laschi was promoted to prima donna, and Celeste Coltellini returned as the altra prima donna, but she left in disgrace a few months later. Austria declared war on Turkey and Joseph joined his army. Casting and financial problems developed within the opera company. Don Giovanni did not do well at its Vienna premiere. The chapter shows that when Joseph was informed of the large deficit run up by the company, he decided to close it at Lent. Adriana Ferrarese nonetheless came to fill in as altra prima donna. At the very last-minute Joseph was persuaded to retain the opera, but by then the leading singers had found employment elsewhere.
A Neapolitan Prima Donna and the End of Josephine Opera, 1791–92
Authors: Link Dorothea
Published: May 2023

The chapter illustrates how, with the Neapolitan singer Irene Tomeoni Dutillieu now the sole prima donna, the repertoire of the Italian opera company at the Viennese court changed almost entirely to imported Neapolitan operas. All the successful mixed-genre Viennese operas from the days of Joseph II were dropped. The book concludes with the observation that, notwithstanding the vicissitudes of the seasons, the opera’s directors knew enough to engage two equals prime donne for the company. Their presence encouraged the composition or adaptation of operas to feature two prima-donna roles, which was generally not the norm.
“Ils ont lâché le fou!”

Published: May 2023

This chapter introduces readers to the presence of Mormonism in French writings and iconography of the nineteenth century, surveying the key figures and varied corpus in which Mormon types appear between 1830 and 1914. Archival analysis sheds light on matters germane to both French and Mormon studies: the rise of Romantic Socialism and the inequities debated in the Social Question; gender identity and the Woman Question; marriage, divorce, and family structures; church and state relations; and models of colonization. Most importantly, the introduction advances the book’s central claim that French representations exploited the relatively unknown group as a screen to work through a surprisingly diverse set of domestic cultural issues as the nation bent increasingly toward republicanism.
“The New Empire”
Authors: Beda Steven C.
Published: May 2023

Chapter 1 explores the origins of the Pacific Northwest timber industry in the early twentieth century, focusing on how employers’ efforts to control and contain labor radicalism shaped the demography and living circumstances of workers. Lumbermen believed that the best way to mollify organized labor was to recruit married men and families to work in their lumber camps and sawmills, and, in order to recruit families, the lumbermen constructed a vast network of company towns that significantly shaped the way people from timber-working communities understood and used the surrounding forests.
“The Prodigal Yield of the Surrounding Hills”
Authors: Beda Steven C.
Published: May 2023

What was lifelike for the working-class families that lived in the Northwest timber industry’s company towns and logging camps? That’s lifelike question explored in this chapter. Because most towns and camps were so remote and because their employers provided so little, timber workers and their families often had to forage, fish, and hunt to survive. These activities critically shaped their relationship to the forest and their understandings of the forest as a multiuse place and would ultimately shape their environmental activism in the coming decades.

The spotted-owl conflict of the late 1980s and early 1990s is examined in chapter 7. Journalists of the era suggested the Northwest had to choose between jobs and owls, between economically healthy rural communities and ecologically healthy forests. Timber workers said it was possible to have both. Yet, the voices of people from timber-working communities were not heeded, and policy makers chose to privilege owl habitat in management decisions, which created severe economic problems in timber country.

The final chapter looks at the history of timber country since the end of the spotted-owl conflict in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The spotted-owl conflict created a high unemployment rate in the woods and made survival difficult for many rural communities, but survive they have, and the ethic of stewardship that’s long been central to these places remains a potent part of timber country’s culture, even as new environmental conflicts involving climate-change legislation spur new conflicts over forest uses in the region.
Introduction
Authors: Lescher Mary E.
Published: May 2023

The introduction defines animation as an art form and then discusses the contributions of the Florida studio to Walt Disney Feature Animation. Methodology and sources are explained. This includes the process of collecting oral histories from the artists, crew, and staff of the studio. The distinctness of the Florida studio is discussed, as the studio was first envisioned as a theme park attraction before eventually becoming the lead studio on films such as Mulan, Lilo and Stitch, and Brother Bear.
A Theme Park Attraction (1989–1990)
Authors: Lescher Mary E.
Published: May 2023

Chapter 1 provides the reader with foundation knowledge about the studio/attraction residing within a single theme-park space, providing clues to the complex relationship existing between the tour and the working studio that was its focus. This chapter examines the first eighteen months of the Florida studio’s existence (1989-1990), when it was initially designated as theme park entertainment. The attraction was presented as a showcase for the public display of Disney’s animation pipeline. Theme Park guests were offered a passive experience as they observed the Disney animators at work. As the Disney Studios in California have never been on display, curiosity about the production process was high and here was the chance, for the price of park admission, to see the animators in action. Chapter 1 provides an overview of this unique production facility.
The Little Studio That Could (1998–1999)
Authors: Lescher Mary E.
Published: May 2023

Chapter 4 highlights the Florida studio coming into its own by examining Mulan, its first feature-length film. As the studio matured away from its secondary role to the California films, the synergy that once existed between the studio and its attraction also shifted. The studio’s crew, increased to over three hundred, outgrew its original theme park building, requiring entire departments to move off the tour corridor and away from public view. With the loss of narrative flow, the attraction narrative was updated to provide a more comprehensive experience. The end of chapter 4 foreshadows the demise of the Disney Renaissance. Although this period can be seen as the maturation of the Florida studio in terms of its artistry and production capabilities, rumblings within California’s corporate structure, and Feature Animation itself, began to show cracks in the solid foundation of animation’s public personae.
Dream Books, Fortune-Tellers, and Mediumship
Authors: Schlabach Elizabeth Schroeder
Published: May 2023

This chapter examines the variety of mechanisms policy customers used to receive lucky numbers for lottery drawings. Chicago’s policy gamblers relied on private consultations with women mediums who ran séances out of their apartments and homes along the South Side, by attending public religious services at Chicago’s many storefront and Spiritualist churches, and by purchasing various items such as dream books, candles, roots, or lucky powders from curio catalogs. Such spiritualist commerce was built on a rich tradition of African American women’s mediumship and work, predicated on consumers’ access to, high esteem for, and the visibility of Black female mediums. Black Chicago relied on Black female mediumship and its commercialization to bridge the harsh segregation of this world with messages from beyond.
Legal Strategies for Policy Women
Authors: Schlabach Elizabeth Schroeder
Published: May 2023

Using arrest records and criminal proceedings from the Cook County Circuit Court and Municipal Court of Chicago, this chapter examines arrest rates and records of non-conviction for policy gambling violations. It also presents the legal strategies that Black women arrested for policy gambling–related crimes employed to avoid jail. Black women’s strategies to avoid jail time contrast with the Chicago Police Department’s reliance on search and seizure laws to make policy-related arrests. The unusual combination of frequent arrests and few convictions created a “quasi-criminal” status for Black women that had a range of adverse social consequences both within and outside the policy gambling industry.
Conclusion
Authors: Schlabach Elizabeth Schroeder
Published: May 2023

The conclusion tells the story of policy’s demise, starting when Harriett Jones fled to Mexico City, leaving the game to white organized crime bosses in the 1940s. Further damage was done when the State of Illinois took steps to transform policy into the Illinois State Lottery starting in 1974; Illinois was the last of several states to initiate lotteries between 1967 and 1974, seeing them as easy ways to raise revenues without raising taxes. Lewis Caldwell, a representative of Illinois’s Twenty-Fourth District, along with Harold Washington, Chicago’s first Black mayor, and activist Brenetta Howell Barrett, sought to legalize policy gambling to offer African American men and women employed by the game legitimate occupations. Ultimately, however, a state-controlled numbers game went into operation in 1979.
Contesting Development, Alternative Paths
Authors: Seligmann Linda J.
Published: May 2023

This chapter asks why so many Huanoquiteños were exploring a wide range of entrepreneurial ventures and how they differed from state- and NGO-sponsored development initiatives. The ventures challenge the assumption of a unidirectional arrow leading to migration from countryside to city. While they showed ingenuity and entrepreneurial verve, they were partly catalyzed by the needs of households that were being squeezed to find complementary economic activities permitting them to remain in Huanoquite and farm their lands. Villagers had a deep appreciation of the beauty of their home’s landscape, history, and culture, which has grown due to social media, tourism, and a celebration by Peruvians of Indigeneity.
Conclusion
Authors: Seligmann Linda J.
Published: May 2023

The conclusion reviews the intimate relationships among extraction, agriculture, development, and the expansion of quinoa in Huanoquite. It cautions that Indigenous inhabitants often become a commodity, experiencing manipulation and exhaustion as their culture and labor are extracted, distilled, highlighted, and broadcast to increase the value of quinoa. Despite the world’s enthusiasm for quinoa, it has not substantially changed Indigenous Quechua people’s life circumstances for the better, and COVID-19 has made Huanoquiteños more aware than ever of the benefits of shorter supply chains and localized food production. It concludes that Huanoquiteños rarely withdraw from the plurality of worlds in which they find themselves but rather wield their weapons of pragmatic spirituality to combat deep inequalities and systemic racism while recognizing that the universe itself is porous and historically constituted.

Objective: the present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of the elongated styloid process by panoramic radiography and characterize them by sex, age, side of elongation, and morphologic. Materials and Methods: the approach was a retrospective, descriptive study. It analyzed digital medical records and panoramic radiography from 240 subjects over 18 years old. All data were registered with the Odontology Clinic between 2021 and 2022. The exams were performed using panoramic radiography (model Eagle, DABI, Atlante) and the images were analyzed by the software from the equipment. It adopted the morphological classification proposed by Langlais. Finally, it was performed the statistical analyzes. Results: the prevalence of the elongated styloid process was 20,8%, mostly in women, between 18 to 39 years old, bilateral and morphological classification type I. Conclusion: the present study showed that the elongated styloid process was a common finding, and it should be considered in clinical cases of pain or orofacial discomfort. Therefore, it must disseminate the characteristics and symptoms from the elongated styloid process, mostly for health professionals.

O objetivo do presente trabalho é descrever uma experiência de gestão do cuidado em saúde do trabalhador, com base no acolhimento às situações de adoecimento mental de docentes durante o período de pandemia da COVID-19. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, tipo Relato de Experiência, a partir dos atendimentos realizados pela enfermeira, gestora de um programa institucional destinado a atender às demandas por perícia médica, durante os anos de 2020 e 2021. O programa faz parte das ações em saúde do trabalhador da área de Recursos Humanos de uma universidade pública, localizada na Bahia. A universidade conta com 1.151 servidores do quadro permanente, sendo 780 na função de docentes. A experiência deu-se através do acompanhamento de docentes durante o período de licença por adoecimento mental, que individualmente são acolhidos, orientados e informados sobre o processo de Licença para Tratamento de Saúde. Os resultados apontam que a gestão do cuidado realizada pela enfermeira nesses casos não é só direcionada a orientar e informar, mas também acolher o docente em sofrimento e adoecimento psíquico com escuta qualificada - tecnologia indispensável na perspectiva desse cuidado, tendo a empatia como ferramenta do processo, que busca construção de vínculo, produção de acolhimento, respeito à diversidade e à singularidade no encontro dos sujeitos. Nos acolhimentos, os sentimentos experimentados pelos docentes em sofrimento psíquico nesse período pandêmico foram de medo, angústia e insegurança. O impacto das medidas sanitárias, principalmente o distanciamento e isolamento social, somado às circunstâncias do trabalho remoto foi fator contributivo para o desencadeamento de situações de sofrimento psíquico. Algumas ações institucionais foram realizadas para dirimir essas e outras vulnerabilidades docentes. Foi possível, assim, perceber o quanto o suporte institucional foi indispensável na gestão do cuidado ao docente em sofrimento psíquico que demandou Licença para Tratamento de Saúde, de modo que ele pudesse dedicar toda atenção para o restabelecimento de seu equilíbrio biopsicossocial. Reafirmando-se assim, que o acolhimento é um dos instrumentos eficazes para a reabilitação psicossocial. Por meio dele, as pessoas em adoecimento mental podem expor aos profissionais de saúde suas angústias e necessidades, tornando-se um momento de criação de vínculo, confiabilidade, aceitação e até mesmo esperança.

Objetivou-se avaliar, na perspectiva dos usuários, a presença e extensão dos atributos derivados da APS. Trata-se de uma pesquisa transversal realizada por meio de coleta de dados no período de julho a novembro de 2021, com 256 usuários adultos das 26 unidades de saúde de Chapecó, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Utilizou-se o instrumento PCATool- Brasil versão adulto reduzida. Os atributos e seus componentes foram analisados por meio de cálculo dos escores de acordo com manual do instrumento, sendo considerados altos escores os valores de média iguais ou maiores que 6,6. Constatou-se que o escore derivado da APS do município foi considerado como aquém do ideal (média de 4,70). O atributo de Orientação Comunitária obteve a pior média avaliada (3,25), sinalizando que os serviços carecem de pesquisas sobre os problemas de saúde da comunidade e de estímulos à participação da população na busca por soluções em saúde no território. O atributo Orientação Familiar também obteve média abaixo do ideal (5,42), sinalizando o pouco envolvimento do usuário nas decisões de tratamento próprias e de familiares, bem como a falha na abordagem pelos profissionais na dinâmica e funcionamento familiar. Conclui-se a relevância em compreender a realidade da APS sobre a ótica dos usuários a qual aponta fragilidades cruciais para reflexão crítica dos gestores e profissionais dos serviços, buscando auxiliar no aperfeiçoamento da assistência e a qualificação das unidades, assim como melhores práticas da enfermagem.

Published: May 2023

This paper investigates the symbol error performance of Repeated Index Modulation for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing with Maximal Ratio Combining diversity (ReIM-MRC) over Nakagami-m fading channel. Using the repeated transmission at the transmitter and MRC combiner at the receiver allows ReIM-MRC to achieve the diversity gain in both space and frequency domains. The system performance over Nakagami-m fading channel is also successfully analyzed. The tightness of simulation and theoretical results proves that our proposed scheme can attain considerably better performance than the benchmarks at the same spectral efficiency.

Ultra Wideband (UWB) communication system utilizing impulse signals is interested recently. In the impulse radio based UWB system (IR-UWB), lots of different shaped pulses have been considered to evaluate and improve the accuracy in positioning technique. The choice of the pulse shape and pulse width strongly affects the choice of receiver bandwidth, the performance and positioning accuracy of system. In this paper, we propose an analytical method to select the pulse parameters that match the positioning distance to improve the accuracy of the system. Computer simulation results show that the proposed system gives higher accuracy than conventional narrow band (NB) system with the average error of the proposed system is 0.05 m while in the NB system is 0.35 m.
