The use of electrical energy that is often encountered in households is leaving the house with the lights on, leaving electronic goods stuck in the socket, charging cell phones overnight and turning on the air conditioner when no one is around. This unwise behavior will result in a high increase in the use of electrical energy. To reduce this unwise behavior, a device will be made that functions as a switch to cut off electrical energy automatically when we leave the room. This tool uses an Arduino Uno microcontroller with a Passive Infrared Receiver sensor to flow electrical energy when we enter the room and cut off electrical energy when leaving the room. It can be concluded that the use of an automatic switch can reduce electrical energy consumption. Automatic switches with a delay of 20 seconds compared to conventional switches have a significant ratio of electrical energy consumption as indicated by the test results of a multiple ratio of 0.00 with a test level of less than 0.05. Using an automatic switch with a 20 second delay results in savings in electrical energy consumption of 48.76% of the electrical energy consumption using conventional switches.

Relevance. Age-related and occupational aspects of SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in healthcare workers are not well understood. Aims: Conduct a selective study of seroprevalence to the SARS-CoV-2 virus among 348 medical workers of 10 medical organizations in Kazan: seven multidisciplinary hospitals that have been re-profiled to provide medical care to patients with coronavirus infection, an ambulance station, a medical organization that carries out outpatient activities and a specialized clinic. Materials and methods. Among those surveyed on a professional basis, the groups «Doctors», «Nurses», «Junior medical personnel», «Other medical workers» were identified. The age structure of seroprevalence was studied in groups of 18–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59 and 60–69 years. For the determination of IgG, a solid-phase ELISA was used. Results. The proportion of medical workers (MR) of various medical organizations in Kazan seropositive for IgG to the SARS-CoV-2 virus is 16.4%. The wide variation in the seroprevalence value of MR groups of different medical organizations (3.3–30.8%) may indicate a different level of effectiveness of anti-epidemic measures in these institutions. The maximum rate was noted in the age groups – 18–29 years (21%) and 60-69 years (18.2%). According to the professional criterion, a comparable level of seroprevalence is shown for the categories «Doctors» and «Nurses» with a wide variation in indicators in professional groups, depending on a particular medical organization. The obtained results indicate the presence among medical workers who have suffered or have an asymptomatic course of infection caused by SARS-CoV-2, and confirm the relevance of further serological monitoring in medical organizations of various profiles. The results of serological monitoring, taking into account age and professional aspects, can serve as the basis for adjusting preventive measures on the basis of individual medical organizations, and taking into account the recommendations of Rospotrebnadzor and the selection of contingents for vaccination against SARS-CoV-2. Conclusions: For the MR of various medical institutions in Kazan, the seroprevalence for antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 virus is 16.4%; Age aspects affect the level of seroprevalence in MR; The obtained results indicate the presence of persons among MR who have had or have an asymptomatic course of infection caused by SARS-CoV-2, and confirm the relevance of further serological monitoring in medical organizations of various profiles.

In recent decades, there has been a search for a model of education that allows the participation of all students in the same school space, that is, an inclusive school. Inclusion of students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been a recurring topic and has posed challenges for teachers, families and school management aiming at the participation of these students in the school environment and its pedagogical practices. ASD is currently classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder marked, mainly, by the difficulty of interaction and social communication (APA, 2014). As a result, it is common for students with ASD to present verbal and/or nonverbal communicative deficits. Given the pivotal role communication has in ensuring the socialization and educational inclusion of students with autism, this research seeks to answer the following questions: How does teacher training prepare teachers to help students with ASD? What resources of alternative and/or extended communication (AEC) can enable students with ASD to better communicate with their teachers? In order to answer these questions, the present paper investigates the theoretical and political foundations that regulate the inclusion of students with ASD in regular school, and analyzes teacher training in its relation to promoting their inclusion. Thus, the present paper discusses teacher training for the use of AEC tools in the regular classroom. It is believed that the great challenge teachers face is continuing education of the pedagogical strategies and practices for assisiting students with ASD in their learning processes in the regular classroom. This paper also addresses relevant public policies and the responsibility of the public power to effectively promote education for all, an education that respects the Other as a true Other.

Published: May 2021

São Domingos, district in the municipality of Criciúma (State of Santa Catarina, Brazil), has undergone several transformations arising from the advance of urbanization. Since the 1980s, the neighborhood is no longer exclusively agricultural, with the installation of a ceramic industry, the beginning of a process of fractionation of properties and, more recently, the installation of a prison complex. This article presents the results of research that understand that the changes in the neighborhood are, among other factors, the fruits of the interaction that occurred between the subjects, producing various forms of social relationship. The research focuses on the perspective of the oldest residents of the neighborhood. The results show these changes are understood as a risk to their sense of community and to the values, which has contributed to the establishment of a culture of fear and insecurity, marked by the demarcation of differences between the subjects and the rupture of everyday life.

Published: May 2021

This study aimed to assess the determinants of diarrhea among children under-five in Jabitehnan district, Northwest Ethiopia. A community-based cross-sectional study was done using a cluster sampling technique. The study was done in the Jabitehnan district from April to July 2019.  The study was done among women who had children under five during the survey who settled in Jabitehnan district. The main outcome measure was the occurrence of diarrhea. A binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with diarrhea. The prevalence of diarrhea was found to be 19.8%. The child lived with whose non-biological mothers were 32.44 times more likely to be exposed to diarrhea compared to the child who lived with whose biological mothers. The odds of being diarrheal for a child whose mother does not wash her hand after latrine was 7.91 times higher than its counterpart. A child whose mother pregnant was 5.66 times higher risk of developing diarrhea than whose mother do not pregnant. The likelihood of diarrhea for children drinking unprotected water were14.1times higher than its counterpart. The magnitude of reported diarrhea was high. Child age, residence, drinking water, pregnant mother, toilet facility, washing hand after latrine, and child live with whom were the main determinates of diarrhea. Addressing these factors will help to prevent future morbidity and mortality of children and will assist in alleviating hygiene and refining their quality of life. Moreover, a trend-based sampling design might be considered for a better understanding.

Evaluating risk factors for mortality in local populations such as adult patients admitted on mechanical ventilation in intensive care units (ICU) may provide support for the management and improvement of outcomes in these units. The inclusion of the workload of professionals in these models has offered a different view of predictors. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether Nursing workload assessed by the Nursing Activities Score (NAS), predictors of mortality (APACHEII and SAPS3) and some additional admission variables for patients admitted on mechanical ventilation in an ICU are predictors of death. We evaluated 194 patients who remained on mechanical ventilation for 48 hours before or after admission in one ICU, in a university hospital of high complexity. The clinical and socio-demographic profile, the NAS of admission and some admission variables were evaluated. The outcome discharge or death in the ICU was evaluated for all patients, and from simple or multiple logistic regression models, risk or protective factors for death in the ICU were obtained. Individually, only SAPS3 was significant for prediction of death (OR = 1.03; CI95%: 1.01; 1.05), while the APACHEII and the NAS of admission was not able to predict ICU mortality. In the multiple model, the only risk factors for ICU mortality were the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR = 8.82; CI95%: 1.82; 42.70), having thyroid diseases (OR = 5.98; CI95%: 1.15; 31.22) and the increase in the level of urea in the blood (OR = 1.01; CI95%: 1,002; 1.02). The admission variables of this population were more effective in predicting ICU mortality than the predictors of mortality evaluated here.
The Day Our School Went Pitch Black and the Nights We Reclaimed the Light

Published: May 2021

I will never forget that a year ago, last March 2020, we had to close our school suddenly. It feels like someone just turned off the light without warning, and everything went pitch black. Confused and scared, we tried to make sense of and confront the endless challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic brought upon our school organization. The virus caused significant interruptions to our processes, policies, people, technostructure, and financial resources. However, with each tiresome blow, the school leaders and teachers navigated through and around those challenges. The only comforting thought was we were not alone in our quest to survive, for every organization around the world was thrown into this catastrophic state and was fighting hard to persist and endure.

Looking back, I reflect on the extraordinary challenges our organization experienced akin with most organizations using Kurt Lewin's Three-Step Change Model and the three ways we responded to COVID-19.

Published: May 2021

Biofloc research commenced in the late 1970s, with the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and the Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus the most commonly studied species. The present study evaluated M. rosenbergii cultures in recirculation and biofloc systems by comparing the water quality and productive performance of juveniles in both systems. The study was based on a simple randomized experimental design with a recirculation and biofloc treatment, each conducted in triplicate. The initial length and weight of the organisms was 1.04 cm and 0.31 g (recirculation) and 1 cm and 0.30 g (biofloc), respectively, while the bioassay, which lasted nine weeks, was undertaken in a salinity of 5 ppm with a natural photoperiod (12:12). The present study monitored basic variables corresponding to the water, survival, growth (in weight), and the composition of the plankton.The basic variables of the water (temperature, salinity, and pH) were kept within the recommended range for the culture. Of the plankton observed in the biofloc, nematodes, rotifers, cyanobacteria, ciliates, heliozoa, and dinoflagellates predominated. The organisms grown in the recirculation system reached 5.35 cm in length and 1.28 g in weight, while those grown in the biofloc reached 5.18 cm and 2 g, with significant differences in individual weight observed. Survival in the recirculation and biofloc systems was 73% and 60%, respectively, with significant differences observed. It is concluded that, although the survival rate was higher in the recirculation system, the weight of individual organisms was higher in the biofloc treatment.

Published: May 2021

The Educational Counselor is one of the professionals in the school management team. His role is to be the relationship mediator in every situation in school (student-student, student-teachers, teachers-families, and school-families). This research aimed at discussing the Educational Counselor as one of the facilitating agents for the articulation of inclusive actions in a school environment through an interdisciplinary perspective. To achieve this target a qualitative study was chosen. Nine Educational Counselor have been interviewed, and the generated data were evaluated through content analysis. The results have shown that although the research participants have difficulty conceptualizing school inclusion, they understand the idea of school inclusion as necessary to develop the subjects’ potential. They also have shown that there is no effective inclusion of students with disabilities, and they have pointed out that, although the institution can offer the necessary resources for inclusive practice, and even continuing education, there is still a long way to go before school inclusion happens. Regarding health issues, the Educational Counselor’ statements have shown a belief in the importance of training in a school environment, but they often seem to forget that the school is a space for education and not for health. We have been taught that professionals who are willing to work with inclusion need continued training to improve their practices, which, despite being recent, are significant and produce paradigm shifts about what they have believed to be inclusive practice.

Common beans reduce their development and productivity when facing soil water deficit. Comprehension about growth response under this condition can be a tool for cultivar selection and escape from scarcity periods. Therefore, the objective was to characterize bean growth in different water conditions using logistic and chanter models. Two experiments (crop season= EI and fallow season = EII) were carried out in Santa Maria, RS, Brazil in a bifactorial scheme (cultivars: Triunfo, Garapiá, FC104; water condition: irrigated, not irrigated) in a completely randomized design. Fortnightly evaluations of height, number of nodes, stem diameter, root length, aerial part, roots, and nodules dry matter were carried out. The data were adjusted according to the accumulated thermal sum by the logistic and chanter models. From the results, it is noted that there was a dissimilar performance between water conditions, cultivars, and experiments. The best adjustment occurred for stem diameter, node number, and aerial part dry matter. Between models, the logistic is the most suitable to describe common bean growth.

The research shows how violence, trafficking and drug use has been recurrent within schools, causing directions that are difficult to contour by Brazilian government officials. The research had a qualitative and quantitative character. The method used was interviews with teachers and the use of questionnaires with a group of one hundred and seventy students and sixteen teachers. Among all the problems, misery; the use of drugs; the arrival of adolescence; the insertion of the researched group in risk areas belonging to Perverse Territorialization; the lack of definition of a full and adequate curriculum for our social problems; the lack of adequate punishment; the influence of family habitus has contributed to the spread of violence, stimulating parallel activities with the predominance of drug trafficking and organized crime where it presents a growing approximation with the local community in need of all types of services and improvements not provided by the State, causing the increase in all crime rates, the increase in drug trafficking as well as the increase in cases of psychological disorders. Among these reasons, violence in the school environment has increased. The actions necessary to reduce school violence are pointed out in this article, knowing that for its consolidation, the support of the school community and the creation of internal codes of conduct essential to living in the school environment are necessary.

Published: May 2021

Alunos com deficiência, transtornos globais de desenvolvimento ou superdotação têm o direito, previsto na legislação, de receber Atendimento Educacional Especializado em complemento às aulas regulares. Este acompanhamento específico deve ser realizado por professores capacitados, de forma a contribuir no processo educacional, assim como inserção na sociedade. Esta perspectiva, no entanto, desencadeia dificuldades no que se refere à comunicação com outros agentes que estão envolvidos na educação dos discentes, tais como professores do ensino regular, pais ou responsáveis e profissionais de saúde. O marco teórico da pesquisa baseia-se em dois eventos específicos da história da educação inclusiva: a Conferência Mundial sobre Educação para Todos de 1990 e a Conferência Mundial de Educação Especial de 1994. Além das leis e decretos que rege a educação especial como a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional de 1996 e o decreto nº 7.611 de 2011, a relação família e escola é discutida conforme Cavalcante (1998). Assim, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento do ConectAEE, que é um sistema de informação Web que busca promover a comunicação desses sujeitos, permitindo o atendimento dos estudantes de forma compartilhada. Para tanto, utilizou-se da metodologia de desenvolvimento de software ágil denominada Scrum, complementada por um estudo bibliográfico. O sistema tem o potencial de se tornar um grande aliado para ações multidisciplinares no contexto da Educação Especial.

Introduction: Psychological health problems are common in adolescent and young adults. The psychological well-being is greatly influenced by stressful environment and the coping mechanism of an individual. The 2019 Coronavirus disease has caused unprecedented morbidity and mortality worldwide owing to its high infectivity and mortality. In addition to these physical manifestations, psychological impact has also been substantial. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study done to find out the prevalence of anxiety disorder and its severity during the COVID-19 pandemic in school going adolescents of Kathmandu valley.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among adolescents from August 15 to September 30, 2020. Two private schools from each district in the Kathmandu valley i.e. Kathmandu, Lalitpur and Bhaktapur were included in the study using convenient sampling. Ethical clearance was obtained from Institutional Review Committee (reference no: 1208202007). All data were inserted on Microsoft Excel 2016 and analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data.

Results: Among 358 students, 165 (46.1%) at 95% Confidence Interval (40.8-51.2) were found to have anxiety. Out of these patients, 115 (69.7%) had mild, 39 (23.6%) had moderate and 11 (6.7%) had severe anxiety. The mean age was 16.17Â±1.57 years.

Conclusions: This study shows that a remarkably higher number of children had symptoms of anxiety disorder. Majority of the children with anxiety had mild form. The study further highlights the need of emotional support to adolescent children during the current ongoing pandemic.

Introduction: D-dimer is currently the best available marker for COVID-19 associated hemostatic abnormalities. This study aims to find out the prevelance of elevated D-dimer levels in confirmed COVID-19 cases in intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital of western Nepal.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 95 patients admitted to COVID Intensive Care Unit of a teriary care centre from August 2020 to January 2021 after taking ethical clearence from Institutional Review Committee in order to determine the D-dimer levels in confirmed COVID-19 cases. D-dimer value was measured at the admission and the highest D-dimer value was recorded during the course of hospital stay with the risk of mortality in confirmed COVID-19 cases. The normal range of D-dimer was taken as <0.35 mg/dl as per our hospital laboratory standards. Convenience sampling method was used. Data entry and descriptive analysis were done in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25.0, point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data.

Results: Out of total 95 cases of COVID-19 included in this study, 25 (89.3%) patients with age â‰¥65 years and 42 (62.69%) patients aged <65 years had elevated D-dimer on admission. Data showed that 29 (67.4%) patients having elevated D-dimer at admission had mortality.

Conclusions: Elevated D-dimer levels was frequently seen in patients admitted in Intensive Care Unit with COVID-19. Our study suggested that measurement of D-dimer may guide in clinical decision making.

OBJECTIVES:

The tumor stage represents the single most important prognostic factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), although more accurate prognostics remain much needed. Previously, we identified CA125 as an independent significant prognostic factor, which we have further validated along with CEA, CA19-9, and CA242 in a large cohort of CRC patients.

METHODS:

Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, we analyzed preoperative serum samples in 322 CRC patients operated on between 1998 and 2003.

RESULTS:

Using the Spearman’s rho model, we calculated the correlation between our previous findings on MUC16 and CA125, for which the correlation coefficient was 0.808 ( p < 0.001). The Cox regression analysis of the linear and logarithmic values of CEA, CA125, CA242, and CA19-9 identified only CA125 (hazard ratio [HR] 1.03; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.02−1.04; p < 0.001) as significant when using the linear values. Survival among CRC patients with a high CA125 level was poor compared with CRC patients with a low CA125 level (HR 2.48; 95% CI 1.68–3.65; p < 0.001). In subgroup analyses, patients with high CA125 levels and aged ≤67 or >67, with stage I–II or III–IV, and both colon and rectal cancer exhibited poor prognoses. In the multivariate analysis, we used clinical pathological variables in the model, where age, gender, and stage served as the background characteristics. We dichotomized CA125 using the Youden maximal cutoff point, and the median values for CEA, CA19-9, and CA242. CA125 emerged as the only marker remaining significant and independent together with stage, location, and age (HR 1.91; 95% CI 1.24–2.95; p 0.003).

CONCLUSIONS:

CA125 represents a significant and independent prognostic factor in CRC patients, superior to CEA. Furthermore, CA242 served as a better prognostic marker than both CEA and CA19-9. We recommend including both CA125 and CA242 in prognostic clinical trials among CRC patients.
Impact of RARα and miR-138 on retinoblastoma etoposide resistance

BACKGROUND:

Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common childhood eye cancer. Chemotherapeutic drugs such as etoposide used in RB treatment often cause massive side effects and acquired drug resistances. Dysregulated genes and miRNAs have a large impact on cancer progression and development of chemotherapy resistances.

OBJECTIVE:

This study was designed to investigate the involvement of retinoic acid receptor alpha ( RARα) in RB progression and chemoresistance as well as the impact of miR-138, a potential RARα regulating miRNA.

METHODS:

RARα and miR-138 expression in etoposide resistant RB cell lines and chemotherapy treated patient tumors compared to non-treated tumors was revealed by Real-Time PCR. Overexpression approaches were performed to analyze the effects of RARα on RB cell viability, apoptosis, proliferation and tumorigenesis. Besides, we addressed the effect of miR-138 overexpression on RB cell chemotherapy resistance.

RESULTS:

A binding between miR-138 and RARα was shown by dual luciferase reporter gene assay. The study presented revealed that RARα is downregulated in etoposide resistant RB cells, while miR-138 is endogenously upregulated. Opposing RARα and miR-138 expression levels were detectable in chemotherapy pre-treated compared to non-treated RB tumor specimen. Overexpression of RARα increases apoptosis levels and reduces tumor cell growth of aggressive etoposide resistant RB cells in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of miR-138 in chemo-sensitive RB cell lines partly enhances cell viability after etoposide treatment.

CONCLUSIONS:

Our findings show that RARα acts as a tumor suppressor in retinoblastoma and is downregulated upon etoposide resistance in RB cells. Thus, RARα may contribute to the development and progression of RB chemo-resistance.

Introdução: A crescente incidência de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) em idade pediátrica é uma realidade. O rastreio recomenda-se perante fatores de risco, sendo comuns ao adulto os critérios diagnósticos. Nesta idade o tratamento visa o controlo glicémico e de fatores de risco associados, sem comprometer o desenvolvimento, e também a prevenção de comorbilidades e complicações. Este caso clínico pretende destacar a abordagem holística precoce e o envolvimento familiar na abordagem da DM2 neste grupo etário. Descrição do caso: Adolescente, sexo masculino, 12 anos, hispânico, com antecedentes pessoais de obesidade, alimentação desequilibrada e história familiar de obesidade e DM2, recorreu à consulta por glicemia capilar ocasional elevada, referindo polidipsia. Apresentava glicemia em jejum 160mg/dl e HbA1C 9,6%. Foi referenciado à especialidade de endocrinologia e, após estudo, iniciou alterações de estilo de vida e terapêutica farmacológica com metformina. Atualmente, após quatro anos, apresenta-se normoponderal, com HbA1C < 6%, apenas sob terapêutica não farmacológica. Comentário: A abordagem desta patologia em idades jovens exige um trabalho conjunto de autoridades políticas, rede escolar e cuidados de saúde para uma promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis e combate ativo à obesidade infantil, procurando envolver e responsabilizar os cidadãos. Os profissionais de saúde devem estabelecer precocemente o diagnóstico e terapêutica para evitar complicações, sendo essenciais as mudanças de estilo de vida e o envolvimento familiar.
Mais vale prevenir que remediar? A dificuldade de decisão

O médico de família tem um papel fulcral na promoção da saúde e prevenção da doença pelo seu contacto mais próximo com o utente, família e comunidade. Este deve incentivar a prática de estilos de vida saudáveis em todos os seus contactos com o utente e diagnosticar precocemente situações de doença, no contexto de sinais e sintomas sugestivos. Para além disso, existem rastreios que podem ser aplicados. Por outro lado, existem cada vez mais dúvidas acerca do benefício de realizar check-ups a toda a população, procurar e tratar incessantemente fatores de risco dos indivíduos, havendo cada vez mais evidência da inexistência de benefícios na morbimortalidade e do crescente risco das intervenções efetuadas.
