Authors: Barros Gabriel Renan Neves , Souza Neto João Clemente de , Santos Ricardo Miranda
Published: July 2022

Esta pesquisa investigou como a disciplina Estudos Amazônicos pode ajudar no desvelamento das crises do sistema capitalista. Para tal, é importante compreender a Amazônia como um espaço dinâmico, multifacetário, com vários contrastes, educacionais, sociais, econômicos e ambientais, haja vista a diversidade encontrada na região, proporcionada pela grandiosidade territorial. Fizemos uma breve análise do ambiente amazônico e do histórico da disciplina, para compreender até que ponto ela pode ser fonte de resistência e subsidiar a formulação de políticas públicas. A metodologia adotada foi estudo de caso e análise documental. Pudemos concluir que a disciplina Estudos Amazônicos deveria ser apropriada pelos movimentos sociais, como uma possibilidade de defesa da região.

Published: July 2022

This paper investigates the effect of temperature on the sensitivity of a thin-film Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) based SAW humidity sensor. A PVA coated 433.92 MHz SAW resonator-based humidity sensor was fabricated and tested with different levels of humidity (0.5 to 95% RH) at different operating temperatures (10°C to 70°C). The sensor response was recorded through in-house developed data acquisition software and it was observed that PVA thin film coated SAW sensor shows the maximum sensitivity for trace level moisture detection at a lower temperature (≤10 °C). The sensor sensitivity has been recorded >400Hz/% RH for trace level detection (0.5–30% RH). It has been observed that sensor sensitivity deteriorates when temperature increased to 40 °C from 10 °C. The sensor has a fast response (~1s) and recovery time (<3s) for trace level humidity detection. The proposed sensor can be used in many applications, including fabrication of electronic devices, IC fabrication, pharmaceutical, textile industries, food processing, semiconductor device fabrication, and packaging.

Published: July 2022

Polymeric composites are widely used in aerospace. One such important use of polymeric composites is the filament-wound composite case for the Solid Rocket Motor (SRM). Environmental conditions expected during flight and other phases of the SRM’s life cycle affect its performance. The performance of SRM, in turn, depends primarily on the composite case and propellant grain. In this study, the performance evaluation of SRM with the composite case is carried out for different environmental conditions. These cases are designed to sustain very high pressure and temperature environments generated due to the combustion of propellant grains and are intended to perform adequately at any time during their service life. The performance evaluation test matrix is formulated considering various expected dynamic and thermal conditions. The small SRM with a composite case is subjected to planned tests as per the matrix, followed by static tests. The pressure versus time data is plotted for all test conditions. The ballistic parameters result of the virgin (without subjecting it to any test) small SRM is considered as a reference for comparative studies with the rest of all other test conditions results. All the ballistic performance test results are also analysed with respect to the pressure-time curve for mission bounds. The analysis of experimental test results reveals that various environmental dynamic conditions like random vibration, acceleration and shock, do not affect the composite case and the ballistic performance of a small SRM. The effect of grain temperature on ballistic performance is also found as expected.

Penyakit tungro merupakan salah satu penyakit penting pada tanaman padi karena menimbulkan gejala tanaman kerdil dan mampu menyebabkan kehilangan hasil yang nyata. Penanaman varietas tahan merupakan strategi pengendalian yang direkomendasikan untuk mengatasi penyakit tungro. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mencari sumber ketahanan genetik dari varietas padi lokal yang dapat digunakan dalam perakitan varietas tahan penyakit tungro. Percobaan disusun dalam rancangan penelitian deskriptif dengan teknik observasi. Observasi dilakukan terhadap 16 varietas padi lokal dengan setiap varietas terdiri atas 30 tanaman contoh sehingga jumlah keseluruhan tanaman yang digunakan sebanyak 480 tanaman. Isolat virus tungro dari pertanaman padi di Muara, Bogor diinokulasikan ke tanaman uji melalui serangga vektor wereng hijau (Nephotettix virescens). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketahanan varietas lokal bervariasi berdasarkan nilai indeks penyakit, insidensi penyakit dan penyusutan tinggi tanaman. Varietas TN1 merupakan varietas pembanding dengan reaksi rentan, sedangkan varietas padi lokal dibedakan atas tahan (‘Utri Merah’), moderat (‘Karau’, ‘Bekongan’, ‘Bujang Berinai’, ‘Srogel Abang’, ‘Pulut Garu’, ‘Randu Kisaran’, ‘Siredep’, ‘Katimpung’, ‘Pulut Sawijan’, ‘Dube’), moderat cenderung rentan (‘Blumbungan’, ‘Tjere bandung’, ‘Sempor’) dan rentan (‘Rumbai’). Semua varietas dapat terinfeksi (insidensi penyakit 27–76%), tetapi indeks keparahan penyakit sangat bervariasi (3–7). Semakin berat keparahan penyakit menyebabkan penyusutan tinggi tanaman semakin tinggi. ‘Srogel Abang’ merupakan varietas yang bermanfaat untuk perakitan varietas padi unggul tahan penyakit tungro karena bersifat moderat dengan persentase penyusutan tinggi tanaman yang rendah (36%) sehingga produktivitas tanaman masih dapat dipertahankan.

Published: July 2022

Online teaching can be a solution in the learning process during the pandemic to stop the spreading of the Covid-19 infection. Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM) as an educational institution provided a Learning Management System (LMS) to support the online teaching and learning process with the platform name SYAM-OK. In this research, we examine the behavioral model of a student's acceptance of the use of an information system SYAM-OK in online teaching. 120 students in the sample used online teaching fully during the pandemic. The data was obtained from an online questionnaire using a google form whose contents were based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).  The variable of TAM consists of Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, Attitude Towards, Behavioral Intention, and Actual Use. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) PLS method was used in this research for modeling the relationship between TAM variables. Based on the results of the SEM we obtained that Perceived Usefulness significantly affects the Attitude Towards and Attitude Towards significantly affects the behavioral intention. By using the bootstrapping and T statistics, we conclude that SEM has identified the significant effects between variables of TAM.

Published: July 2022

Stock is an investment instrument that has risk in its management. One effort to minimize this risk is to model and make further forecasts of stock price movements. Time series data forecasting with autoregressive models is often found in several cases with the most popular approach being the ARIMA model. The tree-based method is one of the algorithms that can be used to forecast both in classification and regression. One ensemble approach to tree-based methods is Extra Trees. This study aims to forecast using the Extra Trees algorithm by evaluating forecasting accuracy with Rolling Forecast Origin on BRMS stock price data. Based on the results obtained, it is known that Extra Trees produces a fairly good accuracy for forecasting up to 6 days after training data with a MAPE of less than 0.1%.

Perceived Work Stress on the Performance of the Hospital Nurses During Covid-19 Pandemic: Is Intrinsic Motivation a Moderator Variable
Authors: Tobing Fenny , Anggraini Nenny , Silvanita Ktut , Saragih Lasni
Published: July 2022

The nursing profession is known as the backbone of the health sector. They are required to provide optimal service and are expected to get no complaints from the patients. That demand often makes nurses feel stress (perceived work stress) on their duty, therefore will affect their performance. Nurses' perceived work stress was getting higher when Covid-19 hit the world. Increased workload, a chaotic work environment, and a lack of nurses cause work stress and can negatively affect the performance of nurses. This study uses quantitative methods to examine and analyze the effect of perceived work stress on the performance of nurses with intrinsic motivation as a moderator variable. This research was conducted by distributing questionnaires to a number of nurses at 'RS-X' Hospital in East Jakarta, Indonesia. Hypothesis testing is done by regression analysis using SPSS 25. The results showed that perceived work stress had a negative effect on nurse performance. The addition of the intrinsic motivation variable in the model increases the R-square value, but this variable does not moderate (weaken or strengthen) the effect of perceived work stress on nurse performance.

The continued emergence of large social network applications has introduced a scale of data and query volume that challenges the limits of existing data stores. However, few benchmarks accurately simulate these request patterns, leaving researchers in short supply of tools to evaluate and improve upon these systems. In this paper, we present a new benchmark, TAOBench, that captures the social graph workload at Meta. We open source workload configurations along with a benchmark that leverages these request features to both accurately model production workloads and generate emergent application behavior. We ensure the integrity of TAOBench's workloads by validating them against their production counterparts. We also describe several benchmark use cases at Meta and report results for five popular distributed database systems to demonstrate the benefits of using TAOBench to evaluate system tradeoffs as well as identify and address performance issues. Our benchmark fills a gap in the available tools and data that researchers and developers have to inform system design decisions.
GANs for generation of synthetic ultrasound images from small datasets
Authors: Maack Lennart , Holstein Lennart , Schlaefer Alexander
Published: July 2022

The task of medical image classification is increasingly supported by algorithms. Deep learning methods like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) show superior performance in medical image analysis but need a high-quality training dataset with a large number of annotated samples. Particularly in the medical domain, the availability of such datasets is rare due to data privacy or the lack of data sharing practices among institutes. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are able to generate high quality synthetic images. This work investigates the capabilities of different state-of-the-art GAN architectures in generating realistic breast ultrasound images if only a small amount of training data is available. In a second step, these synthetic images are used to augment the real ultrasound image dataset utilized for training CNNs. The training of both GANs and CNNs is conducted with systematically reduced dataset sizes. The GAN architectures are capable of generating realistic ultrasound images. GANs using data augmentation techniques outperform the baseline Style- GAN2 with respect to the Frechet Inception distance by up to 64.2%. CNN models trained with additional synthetic data outperform the baseline CNN model using only real data for training by up to 15.3% with respect to the F1 score, especially for datasets containing less than 100 images. As a conclusion, GANs can successfully be used to generate synthetic ultrasound images of high quality and diversity, improve classification performance of CNNs and thus provide a benefit to computer-aided diagnostics.
Does the 3D Feature Descriptor Impact The Registration Accuracy in Laparoscopic Liver Surgery?
Authors: Krames Lorena , Suppa Per , Nahm Werner
Published: July 2022

In laparoscopic liver surgery (LLS) image-guided navigation systems could support the surgeon by providing subsurface information such as the positions of tumors and vessels. For this purpose, one option is to perform a registration of preoperative 3D data and 3D surface patches reconstructed from laparoscopic images. Part of an automatic 3D registration pipeline is the feature description, which takes into account various geometric and spatial information. Since there is no leading feature descriptor in the field of LLS, two feature descriptors are compared in this paper: The Fast Point Feature Histogram (FPFH) and Triple Orthogonal Local Depth Images (TOLDI). To evaluate their performance, three perturbations were induced: varying surface patch sizes, spatial displacement, and Gaussian deformation. Registration was performed using the RANSAC algorithm. FPFH outperformed TOLDI for small surface patches and in case of Gaussian deformations in terms of registration accuracy. In contrast, TOLDI showed lower registration errors for patches with spatial displacement. While developing a 3D-3D registration pipeline, the choice of the feature descriptor is of importance, consequently a careful choice suitable for the application in LLS is necessary.
Ethics in Masaryk’s classification of the sciences
Authors: Svoboda Jan
Published: July 2022

Masaryk’s philosophical approach to reality is largely characterised by its orientation towards the positivism of Auguste Comte, which Masaryk sought to offset with the psychologism of J. S. Mill. The combination of these positivist approaches became the positive starting point for Masaryk’s ethics. But that was not the only influence on his ethics. Masaryk’s German translation of Hume’s book, titled Eine Untersuchung über die Prinzipien der Moral von David Hume (1883), reveals that the main stimuli that shaped Masaryk’s ideas about ethics came from David Hume. Although the need for scientific evidence became a fundamental principle of Masaryk’s thought, the need to objectively anchor ethics in rational theism necessitated in this area a departure from his positivist outlook. Masaryk’s lectures on practical philosophy attest to this fact. The reason for his departure from a positivist stance was due to the metaphysical nature of his concept of psychology.

Fermented vegan foods
Authors: Kopacz Magdalena , Piekara Agnieszka , Krzywonos Małgorzata
Published: July 2022

In recent years, an increase has been reported in consumer awareness of balanced diet and health prevention. This caused the consumer interest in functional foods to increase. The major functional foods are products that contain prebiotics and probiotics. The most often eaten probiotic product is classic yogurt, however the fermented dairy and non-dairy drinks tend to be more and more important. The increase in number and types of milk-free drinks on the market is due to increasing lactose intolerance among consumers. Additionally, in the developed countries gradually rises the number of people who are switching to veganism. The search for suitable substitutes for dairy milk and dairy products has become an important direction of scientific research and implementation projects in industry. The objective of the paper is to review the reference literature presenting results of research studies and experiments on the production and qualities of non-dairy probiotic products, that could be classified into vegan foods. New probiotic food in the form of drinks, which are already on the market or are still in research phase, are made of raw materials such as: vegetables, fruits, grains (oats, buckwheat, spelt wheat, corn, quinoa, amaranth), hazelnuts, coconuts, almonds, cashew nuts, and also sesame and hemp seeds. It is a big challenge for technologists to manufacture food products for vegans, because the vegan diet is more restrictive than a vegetarian one, therefore possibilities of using many raw materials are limited.
Wpływ metody suszenia na właściwości przeciwutleniające ziela bazylii, mięty oraz pietruszki
Authors: Nowosad Karolina , Sujka Monika
Published: July 2022

Surowce zielarskie towarzyszą człowiekowi od zarania dziejów. W związku z gwałtownym rozwojem przemysłu chemicznego zioła straciły na znaczeniu jako leki. Obecnie powraca zainteresowanie ziołami w lecznictwie oraz w profilaktyce wielu chorób. Świeże surowce zielarskie są nietrwałe ze względu na dużą zawartość wody (80 ÷ 90 %). Najbardziej rozpowszechnioną metodą ich utrwalania jest suszenie. Stosowane są zarówno metody naturalne, jak i termiczne. Rzadziej stosowane jest suszenie dielektryczne oraz z użyciem promieniowania podczerwonego. Wpływ procesu suszenia na zawartość związków biologicznych nie jest jednoznaczny i zależy od surowca zielarskiego, dlatego ważny jest dobór odpowiedniej metody i parametrów pozwalających na wysoką retencję związków czynnych. W pracy dokonano oceny wpływu sposobu suszenia (liofilizacji, suszenia konwekcyjnego w temp. 50 ºC, suszenia naturalnego) na właściwości przeciwutleniające łodyg z liśćmi: bazylii, mięty i pietruszki. Najwyższą aktywność przeciwutleniającą wyznaczoną na podstawie zdolności do redukowania jonów żelaza (FRAP) wykazywały ekstrakty wodne mięty suszonej metodą sublimacyjną i wynosiła ona 3825 mM Fe2+/g s.m. W przypadku metody z rodnikiem DPPH• najwyższą aktywność antyrodnikową wykazywały ekstrakty wodne z liofilizowanej bazylii (72 %). Spośród świeżych ziół najniższą aktywnością przeciwutleniającą, oznaczoną zarówno metodą FRAP, jak i z rodnikiem DPPH•, charakteryzowała się pietruszka (odpowiednio 135 mM Fe2+/g s.m. oraz 3 %).

Authors: KRANKOWSKI FILIP , TARKO TOMASZ
Published: July 2022

Background. The local and world market for fruit wines is constantly developing, which brings the necessity to discover new, valuable wine raw materials with an interesting sensory profile and unique technological properties. This work determines the possibilities of using fruits that in the food industry represent a small processing share, i.e. cornelian cherry, hawthorn, white mulberry, elderberry, for the production of fruit wines, as well as presents real problems related to the production of wines from the above fruits and puts forward solutions to such problems. Results and conclusion. The selected fruits are, to a different extent, suitable for wine production because of the necessity to use various winemaking techniques during the production of liquors. Typical characteristics of cornelian cherry include its sugar content ranging from 6 to 19%, the need to use pectolytic enzymes and the ease of obtaining must. The sugar content of hawthorn fruits is at the level of 13% and because of dry and floury pulp, it is difficult to obtain must. The sugar concentration of white mulberry fruits is on average 12% and their characteristic feature is relatively easy processing before fermentation. Elderberry fruits have a low sugar content, approx. 9%. Due to the presence of toxic cyanogenic glycoside sambunigrine in elderberry flesh, additional heat treatment is necessary to reduce its content. The smallest degree of adjustment as regards acidity and sugar content is required for white mulberry, while the biggest for elderberry and cornelian cherry . Because of additional technological treatments, elderberry and hawthorn are, of all the fruits presented above, the least suitable for the production of fruit wines.

Electrophysiological oscillations in the brain have been shown to occur as multicycle events, with onset and offset dependent on behavioral and cognitive state. To provide a baseline for state-related and task-related events, we quantified oscillation features in resting-state recordings. We developed an open-source wavelet-based tool to detect and characterize such oscillation events (OEvents) and exemplify the use of this tool in both simulations and two invasively-recorded electrophysiology datasets: one from human, and one from nonhuman primate (NHP) auditory system. After removing incidentally occurring event-related potentials (ERPs), we used OEvents to quantify oscillation features. We identified ∼2 million oscillation events, classified within traditional frequency bands: δ, θ, α, β, low γ, γ, and high γ. Oscillation events of 1–44 cycles could be identified in at least one frequency band 90% of the time in human and NHP recordings. Individual oscillation events were characterized by nonconstant frequency and amplitude. This result necessarily contrasts with prior studies which assumed frequency constancy, but is consistent with evidence from event-associated oscillations. We measured oscillation event duration, frequency span, and waveform shape. Oscillations tended to exhibit multiple cycles per event, verifiable by comparing filtered to unfiltered waveforms. In addition to the clear intraevent rhythmicity, there was also evidence of interevent rhythmicity within bands, demonstrated by finding that coefficient of variation of interval distributions and Fano factor (FF) measures differed significantly from a Poisson distribution assumption. Overall, our study provides an easy-to-use tool to study oscillation events at the single-trial level or in ongoing recordings, and demonstrates that rhythmic, multicycle oscillation events dominate auditory cortical dynamics.

The NASA EXport Processes in the Ocean from RemoTe Sensing (EXPORTS) program was established to better quantify the pathways of the biological carbon pump in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of global carbon export efficiency. The summer 2018 field campaign in the vicinity of Ocean Station Papa (Station P; 50°N, 145°W) in the Northeast Pacific Ocean yielded evidence of low phytoplankton biomass and primary productivity dominated by small cells (<5 µm) that are reliant on recycled nutrients. Using combined 13C/15N stable isotope incubations, we calculated an average depth-integrated dissolved inorganic carbon uptake (net primary production) rate of 23.1 mmol C m–2 d–1 throughout the euphotic zone with small cells contributing 88.9% of the total daily DIC uptake. Average depth-integrated NO3– uptake rates were 1.5 mmol N m–2 d–1 with small cells contributing 73.4% of the total daily NO3– uptake. Estimates of new and regenerated production fluctuated, with small cells continuing to dominate both forms of production. The daily mixed-layer f-ratio ranged from 0.17 to 0.38 for the whole community, consistent with previous studies, which indicates a predominance of regenerated production in this region, with small and large cells (≥5 μm) having average f-ratios of 0.28 and 0.82, respectively. Peak phytoplankton biomass, total primary productivity and new production occurred between Julian Days 238 and 242 of our observation period, driven primarily by an increase in carbon and nitrate assimilation rates without apparent substantial shifts in the phytoplankton size-class structure. Our findings demonstrate the importance of small cells in performing the majority of net primary production and new production and the modest productivity fluctuations that occur in this iron-limited region of the Northeast Pacific Ocean, driven by ephemeral increases in new production, which could have significant ramifications for carbon export over broad timescales.

Published: July 2022

An evocative autoethnographic essay on loss, writing, belonging, and landscape, on clan and north. In 2006, I went to Caithness in the far north of Scotland to be “writer-in-residence” and stayed five years. My task was to write poetry in response to the landscape, a task that took me deep into exploring myself as a writer, and awakened in me questions of home, family, and my relationship to nature. Unbeknownst to me I had arrived in the land of my ancestors, also a land scarred with loss, poverty, and clearance. But alongside the scars and ruined crofts were small and huge wonders, of nature, wildlife, cairns, standing stones, people, seals, and the rugged coastline. An exploration into writing landscape as a way into belonging.
Islam and Crucial Issues in the Political Communication of the Indonesian Solidarity Party
Authors: Nopriyansa Eko
Published: July 2022

Lately, Indonesia, such as corruption, intolerance, radicalism, terrorism, and various social problems, can be a complex case; social anxiety in Indonesia recently needs a solution that can solve problems without specific religious schemes. The presence of the Partai Solidaritas Indonesia, chaired by Grace Natalie recently and is known as a young Christian female political figure amid the world's largest Muslim majority population, political battles in various attempts to gain public support is the biggest challenge for the Partai Solodaritas Indonesia. Several steps of the PSI have attracted debate. Several Muslim groups have criticized them for being considered to be making crucial narratives by not considering Indonesia existing religious values in political narratives, such as the unconditional rejection of Sharia Law, rejecting polygamy as a social problem, thus inviting debate and getting severe reactions for some Indonesian Muslim groups. This paper attempts to thoroughly dissect the various paradigms and narratives of the Indonesian Solidarity Party in political communication, analyze the principles of the concept of the State, and examine the Islamic concept in-depth, comprehensively and can answer the recent socio-political discourse.
Environmental Politics: Grassroots Innovations in Conserving Geopark Environment (Study in Gunung Sewu UNESCO Global Geopark)
Authors: Sulistyo Ari , Rijanta Rijanta , Hadna Agus Heruanto , Giyarsih Sri Rum
Published: July 2022

Environmental damage is the real threat of natural resources where the economic motives (utility) are often contrary to the conservation motives (protection). However, there are some efforts to reduce the damage. One of them is called bottom-up innovation, which is known as grassroots innovation. This study aims to identify and analyze the innovations emerging from society to preserve the environment in the geopark area, which is used as tourism objects. It is a qualitative descriptive study conducted on Nglanggeran Ancient Volcano Geosite, Pindul Cave Geosite, and Siung Beach Geosite. This study shows that the grassroots innovations are not purely initiated by local communities but by some people who are members of tourism awareness groups or Pokdarwis. The innovations were carried out independently without the help of experts or the government, the innovations were developed by a “trial and error” process, and the innovations are temporary and sometimes only solve the current problems and local scope. Based on the implication, the grassroots innovations can be divided into two categories; direct influence or indirect influence.

Hormonal therapies including androgen deprivation therapy and androgen receptor (AR) pathway inhibitors such as abiraterone and enzalutamide have been widely used to treat advanced prostate cancer. However, treatment resistance emerges after hormonal manipulation in most prostate cancers, and it is attributable to a number of mechanisms, including AR amplification and overexpression, AR mutations, the expression of constitutively active AR variants, intra-tumor androgen synthesis, and promiscuous AR activation by other factors. Although various AR mutations have been reported in prostate cancer, specific AR mutations (L702H, W742L/C, H875Y, F877L, and T878A/S) were frequently identified after treatment resistance emerged. Intriguingly, these hot spot mutations were also revealed to change the binding affinity of ligands including steroids and antiandrogens and potentially result in altered responses to AR pathway inhibitors. Currently, precision medicine utilizing genetic and genomic data to choose suitable treatment for the patient is becoming to play an increasingly important role in clinical practice for prostate cancer management. Since clinical data between AR mutations and the efficacy of AR pathway inhibitors are accumulating, monitoring the AR mutation status is a promising approach for providing precision medicine in prostate cancer, which would be implemented through the development of clinically available testing modalities for AR mutations using liquid biopsy. However, there are few reviews on clinical significance of AR hot spot mutations in prostate cancer. Then, this review summarized the clinical landscape of AR mutations and discussed their potential implication for clinical utilization.

Published: July 2022

Introducción. El plan de vacunación anti-COVID-19 en Perú consistente en tres tipos de vacunas se inició en marzo 2021. Después de 8 meses cubría 55,18% de la población blanco con dos dosis de vacuna y contaba con 3,5 millones de personas que no habían recibido segunda dosis. Existe limitada información de la mortalidad con el plan de vacunación, siendo necesario estimar la efectividad del mismo. Objetivo. Estimar la efectividad del plan de la vacunación contra el COVID-19 para prevenir la mortalidad en mayores de 18 años. Métodos. Estudio de cohorte pareado de casos y controles de población hospitalizada por COVID-19 durante la pandemia en el Perú, con un seguimiento desde el 9 de febrero del 2020 hasta el 27 de octubre del 2021. Se incluyeron 107 410 sujetos de la Plataforma Nacional de Datos Abiertos del Estado Peruano de la cual se seleccionaron 2254 muertes en hospitalizados vacunados y 2254 muertes en hospitalizados no vacunados. Para estimar la efectividad se construyeron modelos de sobrevivencia de Kaplan Mayer y utilizó la prueba de Cox (HR). Resultados. La efectividad del plan de vacunación se estimó en 80,4% (IC 95% 78,2% – 82,5%). La tasa de letalidad por COVID-19 en vacunados fue 17,5% vs 78,8% en no vacunados. La mediana del tiempo de sobrevivencia en la cohorte de hospitalizados con vacuna fue 42 días (IC 95%: 31-64), vs 7 días (IC 95%: 6-7) en no vacunados (p < 0,001). Conclusiones. Las vacunas utilizadas en el programa del Perú son altamente efectivas para prevenir la muerte en personas hospitalizadas por COVID-19 y mejorarían los resultados con mayor cobertura de uso de dos dosis de vacuna.
