Authors: Benelhaj Naima Elbashir , Hutchinson Ann , Maraveyas Anthony , Johnson Miriam J
Published: December 2021

Background: The diagnosis of symptomatic cancer-associated thrombosis often causes distress and alarm for patients, especially for those unaware of the risk, or the signs and symptoms to look out for. There are few data about cancer patients’ experiences of incidentally diagnosed pulmonary embolism (IPE), where lack of warning (recognised signs, symptoms) may cause delayed diagnosis and aggravate distress.Objectives: To explore cancer patients’ experience of the diagnosis of and living with incidental pulmonary embolism treated with anticoagulation. Methods: A qualitative study using modified grounded theory approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted as part of a mixed- methods prospective observational survey study of consenting patients with IPE. Data were subjected to thematic analysis. The qualitative findings are presented. Findings: Eleven participants were interviewed (mean age 68.3 years, range 38-82 years; various forms of cancer and stages). Three major themes and one cross-cutting theme were generated. Theme (1): IPE is experienced in the context of cancer and concomitant comorbidities. Issues are understood in the shadow of – and often overshadowed by - current serious illness. Theme (2): Being diagnosed with IPE. Misattribution to cancer or other comorbidities caused delay in help-seeking and diagnosis. Theme (3): Coping with anticoagulation. Participants’ incorporated anticoagulation treatment and its effects into their daily routine with acceptance and stoicism. Finally, the cross-cutting theme relates to a lack of information and uncertainty, contributing to distress throughout the experienceConclusion: The diagnosis of IPE was upsetting and unexpected. Expert and timely information was valued by those with IPE. Education called for about the increased risk of cancer-associated thrombosis and the signs and symptoms to be aware of.

Published: December 2021

The aim of this research is to solve the problem that the intrusion detection model of industrial control system has low detection rate and detection efficiency against various attacks, a method of optimizing BP neural network based on Adaboost algorithm is proposed. Firstly, principal component analysis (PCA) is used to preprocess the original data set to eliminate its correlation. Secondly, Adaboost algorithm is used to continuously adjust the weight of training samples, to obtain the optimal weight and threshold of BP neural network. The results show that there are 13817 pieces of data collected in the industrial control experiment, of which 9817 pieces of data are taken as the test data set, including 9770 pieces of normal data and 47 pieces of abnormal data. In addition, as a test data set of 4000 pieces, there are 3987 pieces of normal data and 13 pieces of abnormal data. It can be seen that the average detection rate and detection speed of the algorithm of optimizing BP neural network by Adaboost algorithm proposed in this paper are better than other algorithms on each attack type. It is proved that Adaboost algorithm can effectively solve the intrusion detection problem by optimizing BP neural network.
»Was sich der Wald erzählt« von Gustav zu Putlitz
Authors: Conrad Maren
Published: December 2021

Artikelbeginn:[English title and abstract below]
Im Jahr 1866 veröffentlicht Theodor Storm im Verlag Gebrüder Paetel in Berlin seinen Band Drei Märchen. Dieser erfährt von seinen sonst mehr als eifrigen Rezensenten so wenig Beachtung, dass Storm am 2. Februar 1873 in einem Brief an die Verleger zur geplanten Neuauflage des Bandes klagt: »Bei der Antipathie des Publicums gegen das Wort ›Märchen‹ – die Leute wittern dann gleich wirkliche, pure Poësie, wovor sie eine unglaubliche Angst haben –, hätte das Buch einen anderen Titel haben sollen« (Berbig 2006, S. 52). Die geplante Titeländerung setzt Storm dann auch konsequent um und wiederholt die Klage über den schlechten Ruf des Märchens auch im Vorwort des von ihm programmatisch umgetauften Märchenbandes, der jetzt Geschichten aus der Tonne heißt (vgl. Conrad 2018).
Gustav zu Putlitz’s What Was Said in the WoodsOn ›Precarious Literature‹ and ›Precarious Knowledge‹ in Children’s Literature around the 1850s
This article focusses on the collection of fairy tales Was sich der Wald erzählt. Ein Märchenstrauß (1850) [What Was Said in the Woods (1851)] by Gustav zu Putlitz, reading it as an exemplary text for a corpus of forgotten children’s literature of the nineteenth century. Towards the end of that century, a popular ›cosmos literature‹ emerged, initially in the form of interpretations of Alexander von Humboldt’s Cosmos: A Sketch of a Physical Description of the Universe (1845 – 1862), later as prose which propagated a form of (popular) science which deviated completely from the modern understanding of science. This specific subset of noncanonised texts can be conceived as ›precarious literature,‹ based on Martin Mulsow’s concept of ›precarious knowledge.‹ This article presents the preliminary findings of a research project that aims to systematise, as ›precarious literature,‹ texts of nineteenth century children’s literature which were then highly regarded, influential and widely read but are today largely forgotten. The reason postulated is that this literature contains knowledge which was, at that time, ›precarious.‹ The research project endeavours to understand precarious literature as a noncanonical sociocultural space in which controversial fields of knowledge and their dynamics are coded, still waiting to be unlocked.
Words as masks: About the importance of denial in management
Authors: Vandevelde-Rougale Agnès
Published: December 2021

This article draws on a socio-anthropological research, which questions the effects of managerial discourse on the individual by considering experiences of workplace bullying. It studies the observation that despite the gap between what management says and what management does, words of managerial discourse are still widely used, by managers and employees alike. French philosopher, ethnologist and psychoanalyst Octave Mannoni (1899-1989), reworking Freud’s concept of fetishism, showed in an article entitled “I know very well, but nonetheless…” that a belief can survive the denial (disavowal) of reality. Recognizing fantasy as a fantasy is not sufficient to reduce its power over the individual. Based on a case study, the present article demonstrates that the paradoxical logic phrased by Octave Mannoni can help us understand how managerial discourse can exercise its influence on individuals, despite discrepancies between what is said and what is implemented in the organisations. It presents the hypothesis that words can work as “masks” do in some traditional tribes, thus being the means supporting a belief that sustains management authority.

A crack-free indium gallium nitride (InGaN) based light emitting diode (LED) grown on silicon (Si) substrate was successfully demonstrated by introducing aluminium nitride/gallium nitride (AlN/GaN) superlattice structure (SLS) in the growth of the LED. The luminescence and the crystalline properties of the LED were discussed. From photoluminescence (PL) surface mapping measurement, the emission wavelength of the LED (453 nm) was almost uniform across the LED epi-wafer area. Temperaturedependent PL revealed that the dominant emission peak of the LED was 2.77 eV at all temperatures. The emission peak was related to the quantum wells of the LED. Some additional peaks were also observed, in particular at lower temperatures. These peaks were associated to alloy fluctuations in the In0.11Ga0.89N/ In0.02Ga0.98N multiquantum wells (MQWs) of the LED. Furthermore, the dependence of PL intensity and PL decay time on temperature revealed the evidence related to indium and/or interface fluctuations of the quantum wells. From X-ray diffraction (XRD) ω-scan measurements, fringes of the AlN/GaN SLS were clear, indicating the SLS were grown with good interface abruptness. However, the fringes for the MQWs were less uniform, indicating another evidence of the alloy fluctuations in the MQWs. XRD-reciprocal surface mapping (RSM) measurement showed that all epitaxial layers of the LED were grown coherently, and the LED was fully under strain.
Exploring the potential of imines as antiprotozoan agents with focus on t. Brucei and p. Falciparum
Authors:   , Oluwafemi Kola Augustus
Published: December 2021

This work focuses on the design, synthesis and evaluation of imine-containing heterocyclic and acyclic compounds with special focus on their bioactivity against parasitic protozoans (P. falciparum and T. brucei) - given the context of drug resistance in the treatment of malaria and Human African sleeping sickness and the fact that several bioactive organic compounds have been reported to possess the imino group. Starting from 2-aminopyridine, novel #-alkylated-5-bromo-7-azabenzimidazoles and substituted 5-bromo-1-(carbamoylmethy)-7-azabenzimidazole derivatives were prepared, and their bioactivity against parasitic protozoans was assessed. NMR spectra of the substituted 5- bromo-1-(carbamoylmethy)-7-azabenzimidazole derivatives exhibited rotational isomerism, and a dynamic NMR study was used in the estimation of the rate constants and the free- energies of activation for rotation. The free-energy differences between the two rotamers were determined and the more stable conformations were predicted. Novel 2-phenyl-7-azabenzimidazoles were also synthesised from 2-aminopyridine. A convenient method for the regioselective formylation of 2,3-diaminopyridines into 2-amino- 7-(benzylimino)pyridine analogues of 2-phenyl-7-azabenzimidazole was developed, and some of the resulting imino derivatives were hydrogenated to verify the importance of the imino moiety for bioactivity. The 2-phenyl-7-azabenzimidazoles and the 2-amino-7- (benzylimino)pyridine analogues were screened for their anti-protozoal activity and their cytotoxicity level was determined against the HeLa cell line. In order to validate the importance of the pyridine moiety, novel #-(phenyl)-2- hydroxybenzylimines, #-(benzyl)-2-hydroxybenzylimines and (±)-trans-1,2-bis[2- hydroxybenzylimino]cyclohexanes were also synthesized and screened for activity against the parasitic protozoans and for cytotoxicity against the HeLa cell line. The biological assay results indicated that these compounds are not significantly cytotoxic and a good number of them show potential as lead compounds for the development of new malaria and trypanosomiasis drugs.
Outcome and impact assessment in the comprehensive evaluation of rural ICT projects in developing countries
Authors:   , Mtkoko Hafeni Tulimewawa Wilhelmina Lyatenda
Published: December 2021

Despite existing literature that indicates that Information and communication technologies (ICTs) act as tools for social change and development, there is still limited empirical evidence that demonstrates this. An outcome and impact assessment based on a comprehensive (holistic) evaluation is deemed appropriate at a time when many ICT4D programmes fail to effectively demonstrate their impact towards rural development. A comprehensive evaluation is one that incorporates the evaluation of the need, design, implementation, outcome and impact, efficiency, and scalability of a programme. These stages make up the different domains of an evaluation lifecycle. The following study aims to develop an outcome and impact assessment framework for ICT4D programmes. It forms part of continuous research associated with the development of a rural ICT Comprehensive Evaluation framework. A theoretical approach, using Design Science and Weick’s theorizing process, was applied to investigate the development of a framework (design artefact) for outcome and impact assessment of ICT4D programmes. The theorizing process analysed existing outcome and impact assessment frameworks from social programmes, information systems/technology programmes, and ICT4D programmes. The output of the theorizing process proposes five critical themes of outcome and impact assessment of rural ICT4D programmes that should be assessed. These themes include: Strategic Value, Most Significant Change, Empowerment, Livelihoods, and Sustainability. To assess its utility, the framework was implemented in the Siyakhula Living Lab and Information and Communication Technology for Rural Education (ICT4RED) projects in South Africa. Through the application of the framework in real life ICT4D contexts, the lessons learned contributed to its revision and enhancement. The proposed framework aims to guide evaluators through the assessment of outcomes and impacts in ICT4D programmes. It provides a foundation and justification for the selected outcome and impact assessment themes that contribute to a comprehensive evaluation. An outcome and impact assessment that is informed by: baseline; needs assessment; programme theory assessment; and process assessment data, provides ICT4D evaluators and project stakeholders with meaningful outcome and impact feedback. Having such an approach to outcome and impact assessment ensures that the evaluation process is seen more holistically as part of the ICT4D project as a whole.
Impact of family ownership, management, and generations on IPO underpricing and long-run performance
Authors: Setia-Atmaja Lukas , Chandera Yane
Published: December 2021

This paper examines the impact of family ownership, management, and generations on IPO underpricing and the long-run performance of publicly listed firms in Indonesia from 2004 to 2015. This study is based on agency theory, which discusses the relationship between shareholders and management, as well as controlling and non-controlling shareholders. Study results show that IPO underpricing was 28% higher for family firms than non-family firms. Among family firms, a family member’s presence as a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) significantly reduced the level of IPO underpricing. A negative relationship between family CEO and IPO underpricing was only observed if a CEO at the time of IPO was the founder instead of family descendants. A long-run return of family-firm IPOs was more likely to underperform their non-family-firm counterparts. The findings in the primary market suggest that investors predict bigger issues of agency conflicts between controlling and non-controlling shareholders in family firms than the issues of agency conflicts between shareholders and management in non-family firms. Since investors consider family-firm IPOs to be riskier than non-family firms, they demand a higher level of IPO underpricing to compensate for such risks. The results in the secondary market confirm the findings in the primary market.
Issues of pharmaceutical specialist admission to work

Published: December 2021

A study was carried out to identify differences in training of resident physicians in the specialties: Management and Economics of Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Technology, Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmacognosy and under the specialist’s program Pharmacy and to explore the possibilities of granting pharmacy workers the right to transit from one specialty to another without compulsory completion of residency. The urgency of this article is associated with a large number of issues that are being faced by pharmacists who transit from one specialty to another.An analysis of the age and occupational structure of pharmacists improving their qualifications (2300 people) was conducted in the Irkutsk region and the Trans-Baikal Territory. The results of the study showed that it seems like a good idea not to associate the transition from one specialty to another with the obligatory completion of residency, but to provide an admission to work as a pharmacist-technologist after initial accreditation, taking into account the specifics of the work of pharmaceutical specialists in pharmacies, the need to ensure the interchangeability of workers and reduce staff turnover without falling off in quality of work.

Published: December 2021

In high-rise buildings, shear walls are an important structures feature for sustaining lateral forces. The production of prefabricated steel frames buildings will effectively overcome iron and steel spare capacity, allowing the building sector to recover the industrial revolution. As an advanced kind of flexural rigidity steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) can withstand majority of the load in the frame structure, boost the preliminary lateral toughness and lateral bearing strength, and serve as a first protective barrier until the main frame is demolished, reducing the main frame’s failure level and improving the structure’s failure resistance. When structures are subjected to external loads such as earthquakes, wind, and other natural disasters, shear walls can be used to increase the structure's strength and safety. The main focus of this research is to use SAP2000 to compare and analyze two different types of shear walls in two different 7-story buildings. Two structural members, one having a honeycombed steel sheet sandwiched between two thin steel plates shear wall and the other having RCC shear wall are compared based on lateral loading parameters (base shear, displacement story-drift etc.). Using SAP2000, the effects of three main parameters were investigated by Pushover analysis and Time history analysis. From the complete analysis, shear wall with honey combed thin plates is proved to be better against seismic and wind loading as compared to RCC wall as well as honeycombed sheet sandwiched between steel plates is economical and gives more area to the story by occupying less space.

Published: December 2021

In this work, we consider the multi-objective optimization problem based on the circle packing problem, particularly, extended Malfatti's problem (Enkhbat, 2020) with k disks. Malfatti's problem was examined for the first time from a view point of global optimization theory and algorithm in (Enkhbat, 2016). Also, a game theory approach has been applied to Malfatti's problem in (Enkhbat and Battur, 2021). In this paper, we apply the the multi-objective optimization approach to the problem. Using the weighted sum method, we reduce this problem to optimization problem with nonconvex constraints. For solving numerically the weighted sum optimization problem, we apply KKT conditions and find Pareto stationary points. Also, we estimate upper bounds of the global value of the objective function by Lagrange duality. Numerical results are provided.

Published: December 2021

The main attention is focused on the application of the methods of the theory of cooperative games to the analysis of the relationship between the leading actors in international politics, or, as they say, the centers of power. One of the speci c features of the modern world is the "triple type" of conflicts. Namely, at different levels of relationships, con ict situations with three participants (players) are often observed. Such situations are objectively characterized by the formation of possible paired coalitions, rejecting the third. The main idea of the proposed approach is the transition from cooperative games with deterministic values of characteristic functions to their counterparts with stochastic values. One of the possible concepts of solutions for stochastic cooperative games is associated with the extension of the ideas of the bargaining set to them. Problems of development and interpretation of this concept in the case of a triple conflict of international centers of power. An essential advantage of this approach is the possibility of meaningful interpretations of the significance level, at which the conditions for the rationality of the shares of the players should be ensured, taking into account the non-determinism of their utilities given by the characteristic function.
Information Collecting and Dissemination in the Network of Taxpayers: Bayesian Approach
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Kumacheva Suriya Sh. , Tomilina Galina A. ,   EPAM Systems
Published: December 2021

The current research is based on the assumption that the result of tax inspections is not only collection of taxes and fines. The information about audited taxpayers is also collected and helps to renew a priori knowledge of each agent's evasion propensity and obtain new a posteriori estimate of this propensity. In the beginning of the following tax period the fiscal authority can correct auditing strategy using updated information on every taxpayer. Each inspection is considered as a repeated game, in which the choice of agents to audit is associated with their revealed tendency to evade. Taxpayers also renew the information on the number of inspected neighbors using their social connections, represented by networks of various con gurations, and estimate the probability of auditing before the next tax period. Thus, the application of the Bayesian approach to the process of collecting and disseminating information in the network of taxpayers allows to optimize the audit scheme, reducing unnecessary expenses of tax authority and eventually increasing net tax revenue. To illustrate the application of the approach described above to the indicated problem, numerical simulation and scenario analysis were carried out.

Published: December 2021

The issue of adequate application of quantitative supply chain (SCF) solutions for cooperative working capital management becomes more and more important in terms of globalization and growing competition between supply chains (SCs). Authors address the problem by developing models for cooperative working capital management (WCM) through SCF adoption for the case of the three-stage supply chain. The grounding for the optimization is multicriteria approach. The multi-objective working capital optimization model (Ivakina et al., 2021) allows to nd optimal solution regardless initial financial and liquidity position of SC. In the article, we use this model to quantitatively implement a multi-objective working capital management strategy on the cases of real supply chains. The results obtained in the paper indicate that the model of working capital optimization with concurrent use of multiple supply chain finance solutions can provide an optimal solution for all the cases considered in the research. It allows to decrease the total financial costs on working capital and supply chain finance solutions making individual ones not worse and at the same time achieve greater liquidity.
Evaluation and validation of flood hazard zoning using Analytical Hierarchy Process and GIS: A case study of Lam River basin (Vietnam)

In recent years, the Lam river basin had suffered various forms of natural disasters such as floods, inundations, windstorms, tornadoes, etc. Among all these, the flood has proved to be the greatest threat to the people and the socio-economic development in the basin. Moreover, it is very frequent as compared to other natural disasters. In view of the fact that such disastrous floods are still occurring in the basin, it becomes a necessity to determine the causes and analyze the components affecting flood. This is important in order to develop an early flood warning system and thus minimize the negative impact of flood in the Lam river basin on the people and the facilities. In this paper, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) analysis method integrated with GIS technology is used to map flood risk zones in the Lam river basin. The parameters used for the analysis are the main causes affecting the floods. In addition to the 5 most commonly used factors such as slope, rainfall, land cover, soil, and drainage density, this study also includes a new factor - relative slope length to compute a more rigorous and reliable model. The results were compared with the two more methods of flood hazard zoning in the same study area: the method of the main flood caused factor analysis and the method of inheriting, data analyzing, and processing. The results were also validated by the historical flood data of three years 2010, 2013, and 2016.
Símbolos, técnica e vida: caminhos antropológicos de estudos de ciências
Authors: Brito Eduardo Neves Rocha de
Published: December 2021

Proponho neste ensaio, demonstrar uma possível sequência de abordagens antropológicas sobre a ciência. Sequência que perpassa pelos estudos do simbólico e formas de dominação, pelas descrições de técnicas e controvérsias até uma nova ideia sobre a vida. Para tanto, apresento a noção de campo de Pierre Bourdieu e a noção de híbridos de Bruno Latour, diante dos possíveis ganhos da entrada da noção de vida de Tim Ingold nos estudos antropológicos sobre atividades científicas. Trata-se, portanto, de ver os resultados do jogo entre as certezas e incertezas dos estudos simbólicos da ciência com as incertezas e certezas da abordagem sobre controvérsias científicas, à luz de um alargamento na noção de vida. A argumentação construída neste ensaio mostra as contribuições destes autores para o entendimento das nuances que constituem parte da entrada da antropologia nos estudos sobre ciência, como também, por contraste, faz aparecer desníveis e marcas de suas posturas teórico-analíticas para além de seus focos de estudos, uma vez que, suas críticas são de profunda inspiração no modo antropológico de compreende o mundo contemporâneo. A ideia é, portanto, ver como diferentes posturas antropológicas reverberam umas nas outras, assim, como a disputa –mesmo que através de um exercício de ficção antropológica –, pode ser de grande valia no entendimento de atividades científicas.

Processos de cura com ervas da terra: saberes de uma Doutora Raiz
Authors: Bezerra Cristina Diógenes Souza
Published: December 2021

O artigo trata a partir da ideia de sistemas locais de saber, utilizada por Shiva (2003) e saber local por Geertz (2009), para abordar sobre os processos de cura com as ervas da terra. No qual analisa a interação entre os conhecimentos, ditos do senso comum, que não correspondem ao globalizado, mas estão espraiados. Demonstrando as capacidades desses sistemas locais de saber, Vandhana Shiva aponta para a manutenção da vida, para a potencialidade de utilizar as espécies nativas nos processos de cura. Assim sendo, percebe-se a partir dos relatos da história vida de Francisca, esses conhecimentos e práticas de cura. A habitante do bairro do Pium, Parnamirim/RN, reconhecida enquanto Doutora Raiz explicita a produção de saber local e a crença no conhecimento para a eficácia terapêutica com as ervas que curam. As narrativas abordam sobre experiência da doença crônica, artrite reumatóide, na qual gerou uma ruptura biográfica, dentre outros eventos-críticos apontados por Veena Das (1995). Considerando que as narrativas ocorrem de maneira descontínua, somos remetidos nessa etnografia à uma análise o próprio processo de construção da identidade de Doutora Raiz. Com efeito, as narrativas nos levam à histórias de família que, como explanou Pina Cabral (2005), com experiências multifacetadas preenchidas de expressões emotivas explicitam práticas cotidianas que transcendem histórias de família individuais. E nesse caso, são histórias permeadas pelas práticas de cuidado em saúde nas experiências da doença, pelo saber, intenção e eficácia terapêutica com as ervas da terra.

Perspectivas espaciais sobre a construção do imaginário de medo em bairros periféricos de Belém do Pará (1950-1980)
Authors: Pinho Rudá Silva de
Published: December 2021

Em Belém do Pará, a partir da década de 1950, com o Plano de Valorização Econômica da Amazônia, e da década seguinte, com o Modelo de Crescimento Desequilibrado Corrigido, houve um intenso ﬂuxo migratório a partir do interior do estado e, dessa forma, uma grande ocupação de áreas periféricas da cidade. No campo das mentalidades, percebe-se que os moradores de Belém se atrelavam ainda às lendas e mitos. Este artigo objetiva analisar a construção dessas lendas em bairros periféricos de Belém, buscando fundamentos e hipóteses na memória e na paisagem, entendendo como os moradores dessas áreas experienciam a espacialidade local e projetam-na na mentalidade. Para isto, utilizaremos fontes primárias, como entrevistas realizadas com moradores de bairros periféricos da cidade e reportagens dos jornais A Província do Pará e Diário do Pará, e secundárias, como a literatura produzida no período (crônicas, livros de lendas) e estudos sobre o folclore amazônico.

Published: December 2021

Introdução: Quanto ao uso do flúor na odontologia, a fluoretação das águas de abastecimento público se constitui o método de maior abrangência, além de possuir um baixo custo e ser seguro, porém a análise periódica dos níveis do íon se faz necessária para que se obtenha o máximo benefício na prevenção de cárie e risco mínimo no desenvolvimento de fluorose dentária. Objetivo: analisar e comparar a concentração de flúor nas águas de abastecimento público nos períodos de chuva e seca, em fontes de captação onde o íon é natural, no intervalo de 5 anos. Metodologia: a coleta de água foi feita em pontos previamente estabelecidos de acordo com o número e localização das fontes de captação de água. As análises foram executadas com um analisador de íons acoplado a um eletrodo específico para flúor. A análise dos dados foi feita por estatística descritiva e utilizando-se o teste de Wilcoxon para a comparação entre os períodos de chuva e seca. Resultados: 81,03% das amostras dos poços profundos estavam acima dos teores de flúor recomendados, não estando então na classificação que ofereça o máximo benefício e risco mínimo. Os valores referentes à média, desvio padrão e valores máximos e mínimos foram semelhantes nos dois poços profundos onde o flúor contido é natural. Conclusão: Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas nos teores do íon flúor das águas provenientes de poços profundos na comparação dos períodos de chuva e seca.

Introdução: O próprio processo de envelhecimento pode afetar a sua saúde dos idosos, e ainda aumentar a os casos de distúrbios nutricionais. Sendo a condição de Insegurança Alimentar (IA) instalada, é um possível desencadeador destes distúrbios. Objetivo: O estudo objetivou caracterizar o perfil socioeconômico, estado nutricional e a prevalência de insegurança alimentar em idosos (n=62) usuários do Restaurante Popular do Município de Santa Cruz-RN. Métodos: Os entrevistados responderam um questionário estruturado abordando características socioeconômicas, perfil clínico, e Escala Brasileira de Insegurança Alimentar (EBIA), ainda realizou-se a antropometria (peso, altura, IMC e CA) com o grupo. Resultados: Obeservou-se uma prevalência, do sexo masculino, com faixa etária entre 65 a 75 anos, casados, com renda mensal maior que um salário mínimo. Foi visto que a maioria dos idosos apresentou hipertensão arterial, sendo observada a predominância de excesso de peso e risco muito elevado para doenças crônicas, em ambos os sexos. Houve uma incidência da condição de IA em 42,0% da amostra, variando nos níveis de leve, moderado e grave (27%, 13% e 2% respectivamente). Conclusão: Verificou-se que aproximadamente metade dos idosos possuía a situação de IA instalada, e incidência de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, o que pode comprometer a saúde e qualidade de vida dos mesmos.  Por isso é válido reforçar importância de intervenções nutricionais como uma forma de melhorar a qualidade de vida da população idosa.

Introdução: A visão é uma das principais maneiras de interagir com o mundo. Em função desse déficit, os deficientes visuais desenvolvem mecanismo compensatório noutros sentidos como olfato, tato, audição e propriocepção. Objetivo: Investigar o nível de conhecimento em saúde bucal de 33 deficientes visuais matriculados no Instituto de Educação e Reabilitação de Cegos do Rio Grande do Norte (IERC-RN), conhecendo experiências que essas pessoas vivenciaram durante atendimento odontológico. Metodologia: Trata-se de estudo transversal, quanti-qualitativo usando entrevista. O material textual obtido pelas perguntas abertas gerou um corpus processado pelo Software IRAMUTEQ. Nesse contexto, o IRAMUTEQ categorizou o corpus através da classificação hierárquica descendente em seis classes distintas. Nas classes emergiram temas como acessibilidade, nervosismo e ansiedade no atendimento odontológico. A análise de similitude e a nuvem de palavras, também geradas pelo software possibilitaram perceber as principais expressões utilizadas, suas dificuldades, além de conexões com a saúde bucal e o ambiente odontológico. Resultados: As respostas das perguntas fechadas revelaram que a maioria dos entrevistados acredita que os dentes não duram para sempre, 90,09% escovam os dentes duas ou mais vezes por dia, utilizando principalmente escova e pasta, deixando o fio dental em segundo plano. Equívocos no conhecimento poderão ser superados pelo acesso a informação, criação de materiais educativos direcionados a essa clientela para enfrentamento das suas ansiedades e estímulo ao autocuidado. Conclusão:Paralelamente, a equipe de saúde bucal deve se preparar/capacitar para o atendimento desse segmento, pois pacientes com necessidades especiais exige habilidades diferenciadas, muita sensibilidade e conhecimento profissional adequado.
