Introduction: The pathologic complete response (pCR) definition after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for breast cancer is better defined as the absence of residual invasive cancer, although it allows the presence of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). In the past, the presence of positive axillary lymph node was allowed; nowadays studies have shown that any positive lymph node should be not considered as pCR. In Brazil, the proportion of advanced cases varies between 30% to 55% of patients treated by the public health system (SUS). NAC has been recommended more frequently, especially for triple negative tumors and overexpressed Her 2 tumors because you can possibly change the adjuvant treatment, and it is an excellent predictor of prognosis. There is little data on pCR in the therapeutic regimens used in SUS. Objectives: Evaluate data on pathologic complete response in patients subjected to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in SUS schemes. Methods: We performed a retrospective study in Pérola Byington Hospital official database from January 2011 to December 2018 and 2,141 patients that underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) were included. Chemotherapy regimens varied during this period according to institutional protocols and availability of new drugs. The pCR was considered after a histopathological study of the surgical specimen in four molecular subtypes (luminal A and B, triple negative and HER -2 enriched). Results: We included 494 patients in Stage IIB and 1,645 patients in Stage III, most of them were luminal (1,077/50.3%), followed by triple negative (766/35,8%) and Her2 (298/13,9%). The pCR rate varied across the subtypes: luminal 78 (7.2%), triple negative 163 (21.3%) and Her2 69 (23.1%). Conclusions: NAC is an important treatment for breast cancer and is gradually obtainingmore indications. Most of the indications for NAC are: To allow surgical approaches (advanced cases); To allow / increase rate of conservative surgery; To allow conservative approach to the axila and recently select some cases for specific treatment (adjuvant TDM1 and capecitabine). The pCR rate varies through the studies: Cortazar et al. found 16% in Luminal; 33% in triple negative; 50% in Her2 when trastuzumab was used and 30,2% when it was not used. When platin is used for triple negative it is possible to achieve up to 50% of pCR. When double blockage for Her2 is used we can expect between 50%-70% in pCR. In our data most of our patients were stage III and we only had access to neoadjuvant trastuzumab after 2016; this directly impacted our results. The NAC protocols varied during this period and nowadays we have included platin compounds for triple negative.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: The measures of social isolation and campaigns to combat the COVID-19 pandemic released after March 2020 and the risk of severe respiratory disease in the population older than 65 years determined a decrease in the performance of preventive tests and demand to outpatient clinics, as well as the removal of professionals in risk groups reducing the supply of care. The delay in diagnosis and initiation of treatment is considered a problem in health systems worldwide, directly impacting mortality from the disease. In force since 2012, Lawn. 12732 of the Brazilian Department of Health establishes that the first cancer treatment for SUS (Brazilian Unified Health System) patients must begin within a maximum of 60 days from the signature of the pathological report that confirms malignant neoplasia. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of the pandemic in a mastology service at a tertiary hospital of the Unified Health System (SUS) from the measurement of the interval between diagnosis and initiation of treatment, first proposed oncological, surgical (CT) or systemic (TS) treatment and the justifications pointed out when the beginning of treatment occurred in a period of more than sixty days. Methods: Cross-sectional cohort study of patients diagnosed with breast cancer between March 2019 and January 2021, divided into two groups – prepandemic and pandemic from the evaluation of data in the hospital management system (Stratec) and comparison of information between the two groups. Results: In group 1, prepandemic, from March 2019 to March 2020, 82 patients admitted, mean of 6.3 patients per month, 62 started treatment before 60 days (59TC and 3TS) and 20 after (13TC and 7TS). In group 2, pandemic, from April 2020 to January 2021, 65 patients, mean of 7.2 patients per month, 51 started treatment before 60 days (37TC and 14TS) and 14 after (11TC and 3TS), 32.3 and 27.5%, respectively. Regarding the indication of initial treatment, surgical treatment predominated in both groups, however there was an increase in the indication of systemic treatment in group 2 (17/65 vs 10/82). Among the main justifications for delay in the beginning of treatment, we identified clinical conditions of the patients, the need for a plastic surgery team and unavailability of a vacancy in the operating room in the first group, and clinical conditions of the patients and indecision to accept the therapeutic proposal in the second group. Conclusions: The reception by the nursing team to the patients at the time of diagnosis guiding the performance of preoperative examinations and consultations, availability of the operating room exclusively for emergencies, cardiac or oncological surgeries and replacement of professionals when the absence was necessary were effective measures in the maintenance of care and quality of service.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common neoplasm among women. As a consequence of the increased number of cancer diagnoses, and concomitant mortality reductions for most types of cancer many patients live with physical and psychosocial problems associated with the disease and its treatment that may compromise their quality of life (QoL). Exercise has been recommended as part of standard care for patients with cancer to help prevent and manage physical and psychosocial problems and improve QoL. Objectives: The objective of the current study was to compare the impact of physical activity practice in women with breast cancer, through indicators of quality of life. Methods: This is a randomized study with breast cancer patients in a large general hospital in southeastern Brazil. The questionnaires were applied regarding function and quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30 and BR-23). Patients were randomly allocated into two groups: control, without intervention and treatment group, with the practice of physical exercises and nutritional orientation. Physical activity was performed for three hours/week through active-assisted exercises of flexion, abduction, extension, and rotation of upper limbs and treadmill walking at a speed tolerated by the patient. After six months of participation, all patients were reassessed, with blindness of the investigator. Results: The study did not reveal statistical difference in the constructs cited (p>0.05) between the control group and the treatment group regarding “Global Health Status” “Functional Scale” and “Scale of Symptoms “, however the patients in physical activity presented better mood and confidence being more adapted to face the challenge of the disease. Conclusions: The practice of physical activity showed no benefit in improving quality of life and functional capacity in patients with breast cancer in the evaluation by questionnaires in a short period established, however, showed favorable trends for improvement in successive evaluations.

Endophytes possess several phytohormones and bioactive metabolites of medicinal importance and thus, continue to generate research interest as candidates in drug discovery programmes. This study was carried out to investigate the secondary metabolites of an endophytic fungus isolated from leaves of Psidium guajava. Endophytic fungal isolation, fungal fermentation; and extraction of secondary metabolites in ethyl acetate were carried out using standard methods. The crude extract was subjected to Vacuum Liquid Chromatography (VLC) using binary combinations of Hexane:Ethyl acetate and Dichloromethane:Methanol to obtain fourteen sub-fractions designated PG55-1 to PG55-14. The fungal crude extracts and VLC sub-fractions were screened for antimicrobial activity and were also subjected to high-performance liquid chromatography-diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) analysis for the identification of bioactive compounds. An endophytic fungus, PG55 was isolated from the leaf of Psidium guajava. The fungal secondary metabolites showed antibacterial properties, with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 0.0625 – 1 mg/ml. No antifungal activity was observed. HPLC-DAD analysis of the extract suggested the presence p-hydroxybenzoic acid, pentenedioic acid and palitantin in one of the fractions of PG55. Some of these compounds are known antimicrobial agents and may be responsible for the antimicrobial activities recorded for the fungal extracts. The results of this study, suggests the many potentials possessed by Nigerian plants as hosts of endophytes that could be reservoirs for excellent sources of pharmacologically active compounds.

Massularia acuminata and Garcinia kola are chewing sticks widely used in Nigeria rural population for oral and dental care. This research investigates the individual antibacterial effects of methanol extracts of stem and twigs of these plants respectively and the combined effect of both extracts, against isolates of the oral cavity. The isolates were obtained from the oral cavities of healthy undergraduate students. The bacteria isolates obtained were Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. Screening for antibacterial effect of each of the extracts and the combined extract on the standardized isolates was done by the Agar well diffusion method. On S. aureus, the methanol extract of M. acuminate and G. kola had minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 12.5mg/ml and 12.5mg/ml with mean inhibitory zone diameter (IZD) of 3mm and 10mm respectively. The combination of both plant extracts showed MIC of 25mg/ml and a mean IZD of 4mm. On E. coli, M. acuminate and G. kola had MIC of 25mg/ml and 12.5mg/ml with mean IZD of 2mm and 3mm respectively. The combination of both extracts gave MIC of 25mg/ml and a mean IZD of 1mm. Both extracts didn’t exhibit any effect on the other 3 isolates. Statistical analysis using ANOVA showed the values were significant at p<0.05 for antibacterial activity of G. kola, M. acuminata and the combined extracts against S. aureus, also significant for G. kola (p<0.05) against E. coli but insignificant for M. acuminata and the combined extracts (p>0.05). This study proved that M. acuminata and G. kola extracts can be used for oral hygiene, but not in combination

"Na teoria, a prática é outra coisa!”
Authors: Pires Lenin dos Santos , Albernaz Elizabete Ribeiro
Published: January 2022

O artigo aborda a política de formação profissional esboçada pela Secretaria de Segurança Pública do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, no período entre 2008 e 2017, período conhecido pela política de pacificação.  Com base nos objetivos da política, o texto explora os desdobramentos junto aos setores responsáveis pela formação policial. Explora-se as condições materiais para situar a forma como o “discurso da pacificação” era consumido nos espaços “escolarizados” de socialização da PMERJ. A etnografia revela a existência de uma tensão estrutural de fundo, fazendo com que representações acerca de noções como mudança e continuidade atravessasse o referido projeto de formação. Essa tensão encontrava expressão na setença “a teoria, na prática, é outra coisa”, que se mostrou persistente ao longo de todo o trabalho de campo realizado. A oposição entre teoria e prática se via reelaborada na oposição contínua entre mudança e continuidade; nova e velha polícia, entre outras binariedades que embalaram a Política de Pacificação.
processo de ensino formativo em uma instituição policial estruturada em cargo único
Authors: Freire Ribeiro Marcio Jose , Arnaud Almeida Emmanuelle
Published: January 2022

A relação entre o ensino de formação e o modelo de policiamento reproduzidos nas polícias estaduais é um tema que tem despertado a atenção de relevantes pesquisas na área de segurança pública, existindo, entretanto, uma lacuna de estudos do tema nas polícias de responsabilidade da União. Diante desse cenário, o objetivo do presente artigo foi investigar o processo de ensino do Curso de Formação para novos integrantes da Polícia Rodoviária Federal (PRF) realizados no período de 2014 a 2016. Para este fim, o processo de ensino foi concebido como a atuação dinâmica entre objetivos-conteúdos-métodos sob determinadas condições. A metodologia lastreou-se na abordagem qualitativa e exploratória, com coleta de dados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com docentes, e tratamento mediante análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicaram que, a partir de um corpo docente qualificado, o processo de ensino foi marcado por um planejamento simétrico e participativo, estruturação equilibrada entre aspectos teóricos e práticos das aulas, uso dos recursos didáticos contextualizado à atividade, avaliação quantitativa e qualitativa dos alunos e relações horizontais entre docentes e discentes. Conclui-se que o processo de ensino do curso de formação da PRF reflete um modelo profissional e influenciado pela estruturação da carreira em cargo único, diferenciando-se de modelos formativos verticalizados, bacharelistas e com ênfase no combate ao crime. O modelo formativo da PRF apresenta-se como alternativa para outras instituições de segurança pública, ainda que se reconheça a necessidade de mais estudos de formação em instituições policiais estruturadas em cargo único.

Proposal for an index of roads and structures for the mapping of non-vegetated urban surfaces using OSM and Sentinel data
Authors: Justiniano Eduardo , Santos Junior Edimilson , Melo Breno , Siqueira João , Morato Rúbia , Fantin Marcel , Pedrassoli Julio , Martines Marcos , Kawakubo Fernando
Published: January 2022

The use of volunteered geographic information (VGI), such as OpenStreetMap (OSM), to assist in mapping land use and coverage together with remote sensing images is relatively recent. Most studies have used OSM to assist in sample collection for image classification or aggregated vectors of buildings, transport, and land-use and coverage as ancillary data to support mapping refinements. This study proposes a metric called the “index of roads and structures” (IRS) created on the basis of OSM data with the intention of assisting in the mapping of non-vegetated and non-aquatic urban surfaces. IRS thresholds were defined and supplemented with information derived from the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) as a way of extending the restriction between urban and non-urban classes and thus achieving better mapping accuracy. To implement this study, multispectral Sentinel 2 images resampled to 10 m on the ground were processed in the Google Earth Engine (GEE). The IRS is a raster file, in which each pixel is associated with the possibility of being inserted in an urban context; thus, the importance of this index as an aid in mapping urban areas is clear. We have demonstrated the possibility of using the IRS to map urban surfaces in Brazil (8.5 million square kilometers) and obtained a very high accuracy of 93.2%.

Patients with confirmed CVDs were enrolled in this study while patients with CVDs plus acute or chronic liver and intestinal diseases were excluded in this study. Data were collected and analyzed by using SPSS version 21. P-value (two-tailed) < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: A total of 400 subjects were enrolled, out of which 200 healthy control (male 125 and female 75) and 200 patients with CVDs (male 130 and female 70). The mean level of total protein, albumin, globulin, and HDL-C were statistically (p<0.005) lower while TC, TG, and FBS were statistically (p<0.005) higher in CVDs sub-jects in compared to healthy control. The serum albumin was lower in 35 (17.5%) of patients with CVDs, out of which 19 (9.5%) were male and 16 (8.0%) were female. Serum albumin showed a statistically significant negative correlation with age (p=0.000) and a positive correlation with TC (p=0.000). In multinomial logistic regression analysis, model-I, II, and III showed a statistically significant (p<0.05) association between serum albumin with CVDs.
Conclusion: This study concluded, low serum albumin was found in patients with CVDs and it was significantly associated with CVDs. Therefore, measurement of serum albumin can be performed routinely in patients with CVDs.
A Geographical Perspective on Poverty-Environmental Degradation
Authors: Dar Farouq Ahmad , Singh Malkhan
Published: January 2022

Environmental degradation is a process in which the natural environment is negotiated by declining environmental health and the biological diversity. The environmental health problems and urban poverty has a strong bond between them. The high use of non-renewable resources and the destruction of key renewable resources are the major contributors of environmental degradation. The poor people alone cannot be blamed as the key contributors of environmental degradation. In many areas the poor people are more aware about the proper use of natural resources like land, forests and water resources, as they get their livelihood from these resources. This paper focuses on the understandings prevalent on the topic of poverty and environmental degradation and cross-examines the geographical literature available on the subject. The broad objective of this paper is to examine the various contributors which acts vital role in the environmental degradation. The article provides a particular attention towards the poor as one of the elements of environmental deterioration. The analysis depicts that the institutional and market failures encourage unsustainable actions which pushes some income groups into poverty. The conflict among different income groups are the main culprits of poverty-environment degradation nexus. The environmental degradation, on the one hand, contributes to poverty through different agents which effects the human health and depletes the productivity of those natural and manmade resources upon which the poor are dependent, on the other hand, the poverty restricts the poor to perform such activities that will lead to damage the environment.

Hui Muslims’ Endogamy and Intermarriages: Marriage Markets, Islamic Culture, and Economic Growth
Authors: Mu Zheng
Published: January 2022

This paper examines the spousal choice dynamics among China’s largest Muslim group, the Hui, in the post-1978 reform era. Using the 2005 Chinese Inter-Census Survey data, the competing risk models show a robust and striking regional divide between China’s northwestern provinces and other areas, accounting for aging, education, and household registration status. Compared with those living in non-northwestern regions, those who live in the northwest are much more likely to enter endogamies and to marry at younger ages. Regional differences—especially the reluctance to intermarry in the northwestern region—are mainly attributable to three factors: varying local conditions in the marriage market, the Islamic culture, and economic growth. Particularly, findings show that local economic growth, rather than impeding, serves as an enabling condition that encourages Hui men’s endogamous preferences. This paper provides a demographic assessment of Muslim–Han relations in China and contributes to the explanatory framework of homogamy and intermarriage by integrating aggregate-level demographic, cultural, and economic determinants.
Marital Status, Gender, and Race in The U.S.: Perceptions of Middle-Aged Men and Women
Authors: Munsch Christin L. , Davis Shardé M.
Published: January 2022

A handful of studies conducted in the 1980s and 1990s find that undergraduate students perceive unmarried people less favorably than married people. The present research describes two experimental studies that revisit and extend this work by examining the extent to which perceptions of singles depend on marital history, gender, and race, both of which employ a more diverse sample of Americans via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Black Americans are less likely to marry, more likely to divorce, and less likely to remarry than their White counterparts; Black women are less likely to marry than Black men; and Black women contend with nuanced stereotypes that portray them as strong, independent, and self-sufficient. These differences suggest race may shape beliefs about singles, and that racialized differences may be gendered. In Study 1, respondents rated a married or never married man or woman across a range of characteristics. In Study 2, respondents rated a White man, White woman, Black man, or Black woman who was either married, never married, or divorced. Across both studies, regression models indicate singles were evaluated more negatively than married people. Moreover, divorced Black women were perceived more positively on several measures compared to divorced members of other groups. For the most part, however, the magnitude of the singlism effect did not vary by marital history (never married or divorced), gender, or race. We note that null findings regarding gender and race are often relegated to the file drawer, but that this practice distorts the results of systematic reviews and perpetuates the misconception that groups of people (e.g., men and women, Blacks and Whites) are vastly different from one another, a belief that undergirds and justifies inequality.

Published: January 2022

Background: External beam radiation therapy is an important aspect of multidisciplinary care for patients with metastatic bone disease. Referral to radiation oncology is within the control of the orthopaedic surgeon and has the potential to serve as a quality benchmark.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. Patients with metastatic disease of the femur who underwent prophylactic femoral stabilization or fixation of a pathologic femur fracture from 2010-2015 at a single academic medical center or within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) were included. A total of 950 VHA patients and 130 academic medical center patients were enrolled. The main outcome was the proportion of patients receiving a referral to radiation oncology by six weeks after the date of surgery. Results are presented for each institution and are stratified by type of procedure (prophylactic stabilization versus pathologic fixation). The study further evaluates regional differences within the VHA.
Results: The majority of patients received a referral for radiation after prophylactic stabilization (VHA: 290/361 patients [80% 95% CI: 76% - 84%]; academic medical center: 81/89 patients [91%, 95% CI: 85%, 97%]). The proportion referred was higher at the academic medical center (odds ratio [OR]: 2.5, 95% CI: [1.15, 5.36], P =0.027). After fracture fixation, 428/589 (73%, 95% CI: [69%, 77%]) of VHA patients and 30/41 (73%, 95% CI [59%, 87%]) of patients at the academic medical center received a referral to radiation. Receiving a referral was not associated with healthcare system (OR: 1.0; 95% CI: [0.50, 2.10])). Within the VHA, the proportion of patients referred varied by geographic location (Pearson’s chi-squared test, P =0.004 for prophylactic stabilization and P <0.001 for pathologic fixation).
Conclusion: Referral rates at both institutions were moderate to high. The observed regional variation within the VHA highlights the importance of establishing quality benchmarks.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE IDEA OF CITIZENSHIP FORMATION IN DOMESTIC PEDAGOGICAL THOUGHT
Authors: Dzyubenko Iryna
Published: January 2022

This article examines the problem of developing the idea of forming citizenship in domestic pedagogical thought. The need for the formation of citizenship is motivated, aimed at educating the individual, developing personal traits and qualities, world-view, feelings, actions and norms of behaviour, way of thinking aimed at self-development and development of democratic civil society in Ukraine. The categories “citizenship”, “civil position”, “rule of law” are specified in pedagogical and socio-pedagogical aspects.Today in Ukraine, we can observe both trends in the development of ideas of citizenship – on the one hand, the processes of state formation require unity based on the formation of civic qualities of the community, manifestations of citizenship and appropriate actions towards the idea of statehood. It is considered that these tendencies can develop in two ways – confrontation, intolerance or dialogue, a constructive approach to solving problems. The analysis of civic education development in the national pedagogical thought is provided by the author.Civic education is illustrated by changes in the goals, content and methods of organizing the activities of the subjects of the educational process. The essence of civic education is characterized by systematic, purposeful, social, planned and systematic motivation. As shown in the article, most of the existing educational systems and programs for the education of student youth are focused on the development of critical thinking,  independent search for meaning in life and the development of skills of active behaviour. These changes make new demands on the implementation of the process of civic education of student youth in higher education, on the individual as a whole, able to understand and independently implement the basic ideas of competence-oriented education. Accordingly, the formation of citizenship aims at educating the individual, developing personality traits and qualities, world-view, feelings, actions and norms of behaviour, way of thinking aimed at self-development and development of democratic civil society in Ukraine.
Keywords: citizenship; civic education; civic self-awareness; civil position; civic behaviour; rule of law; personality education; democratic civil society.
