Authors: Alisa Wichaidit , Namthip Patinotham , Kullanun Nukaeow , Aunwaya Kaewpitak
Published: May 2022

Increased proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) expression is observed in various diseases related to inflammation. However, the expression of PAR2 in odontoblasts in response to dental caries has not been investigated. Therefore, to explore the functions of odontoblasts during the progression of carious infection, we measured PAR2 and NF-κB expression using immunofluorescence techniques in the odontoblast layer and pulpocytes in the sub-odontoblast region of 44 teeth extracted from children undergoing dental treatment (eight sound samples, 13 early carious samples, 16 advanced carious samples, and eight exposed pulp samples). PAR2 and NF-κB were expressed at moderate levels in sound teeth with non-carious pulp, and the expression levels changed as caries progressed. PAR2 was significantly upregulated in the odontoblast layer during early-stage and advanced-stage caries, and reduced below healthy levels in teeth with exposed pulp. NF-κB was significantly upregulated in early-stage caries and significantly downregulated in advanced-stage and late-stage caries. Moreover, in the sub-odontoblast region, NF-κB expression increased with the progression of caries. Overall, this study suggests PAR2 may represent a crucial cell signalling receptor in the dentine-pulp complex during dental inflammation, and that NF-κB may be one of the key pathways that regulate inflammatory immune responses in the dental pulp.

Extraction and selection of high-molecular-weight DNA for long-read sequencing from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii v2
Authors: Chaux-Jukic Frédéric
Published: May 2022

Recent advances in long-read sequencing technologies have enabled the complete assembly of eukaryotic genomes from telomere to telomere by allowing repeated regions to be fully sequenced and assembled, thus filling the gaps left by previous short-read sequencing methods. Furthermore, long-read sequencing can also help characterizing structural variants, with applications in the fields of genome evolution or cancer genomics. For many organisms, the main bottleneck is to develop robust methods to obtain high-molecular-weight (HMW) DNA for whole genome sequencing purposes. We developed an optimized protocol to extract DNA suitable for long-read sequencing from the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, based on CTAB/phenol extraction followed by a size selection step for long DNA molecules. We provide validation results for the extraction protocol, as well as statistics obtained with Oxford Nanopore Technologies sequencing.

Selection of a fleet of vehicles for tasks based on the statistical characteristics of their operational parameters
Authors: Izdebski Mariusz , Jacyna-Gołda Ilona , Nivette Marcin , Szczepański Emilian
Published: May 2022

The article presents a method of selecting a fleet of vehicles with a homogeneous structure for tasks based on the statistical characteristics of their operational parameters. The selection of a vehicle fleet for tasks is one of the stages of vehicle fleet management in transport companies. The selection of a vehicle fleet for tasks has been defined as the allocation of a vehicle model to a given company, which is associated with the unification of the vehicle fleet to one specific type. The problem of selecting a fleet of vehicles has been presented in a multi-criteria approach. The operational parameters assessing the selection of vehicles for the tasks are mileage and the number of days to the first and subsequent failure, and vehicle maintenance costs. The developed method of selecting a fleet of vehicles for the tasks consists of two stages. In the first stage, the average operating parameter values are determined using statistical inference. In the second stage, using the MAJA method, a unified model of the fleet of vehicles operating in the enterprise is established.
Mucormycosis – A prosthodontists perspective
Authors: Tadikonda Sahaja , Kumar C Ravi , M Sujesh , AV Rajinikanth , Kollu Sunitha , N Prajwala
Published: May 2022

Mucormycosis, an opportunistic fungal infection commonly associated with diabetes, is now intermittent as a result of co-infection with COVID-19 and steroid use, affecting the nose and paranasal sinuses of the head and neck region, with high mortality and morbidity. It is also more common in diabetic ketoacidosis, neutropenia, cancer, organ transplantation, and/or high serum iron levels, burns, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, indiscriminate usage of steroids, lymphoma, leukemia, poor metabolic status etc.

The most common treatment protocol for such conditions is aggressive surgical debridement, which includes resection of involved maxillofacial structures such as the maxilla, orbit, and/or nose.

Rehabilitation of such large maxillofacial defects is a Prosthodontic challenge, with many problems encountered such as lack of retention due to dislodging forces exerted by scarred postsurgical soft tissues, lack of bony base, lost structures of the posterior palatal seal area, multiple defect sites, and compromised medical status due to comorbidities, which also affects the defect's healing rate.

For patients to survive, early diagnosis and treatment are frequently required. The clinical manifestations, etiopathogenesis, and management of the dreaded fungal infection known as mucormycosis in the head and neck region will be reviewed in this paper.
Management of atrophic jaws with all-on 4 concept - A review article
Authors: Mittal Komal , Kaur Manmeet
Published: May 2022

A typical condition in older patients is the event of edentulous, which can be the after effect of many factors like poor oral hygiene, dental caries, and periodontal problems. It has negative social and psychological effects on individuals that include adverse impacts on facial and oral esthetics, masticatory function, and speech abilities, that when combined, are translated into significant reductions in patients’ quality of lives. conventional removable complete dentures, implant-supported removable, & fixed prosthesis are all the alternatives prosthetics options for restoring the edentulous jaws. The all-on-four concept is offered as an alternative to conventional implant applications in which four implants are placed in the inter foraminal region in the mandible and in the pre-maxillary region in total edentulism cases. The two anterior implants follow the jaw anatomy and the two distal implants are tilted at 45° angulation posteriorly. This arrangement allows for good implant anchorage, short cantilever length, and large inter implant distance thus favoring fruitful outcome of the treatment. The goal of this review is to determine the underlying principles of this concept and to illustrate the method's benefits and drawbacks.

Authors: Dua Parag , Singh Navdeep , Kumar Saurav , Yangchen Sonam
Published: May 2022

Maxillofacial stents find their application in traumatic and post reconstructive surgical cases. A stent is a supplementary device used in conjunction with a surgical procedure to keep a skin graft in place. Various materials can be used in their fabrication such as acrylic resins, soft liners and modelling plastics. They can either be intraoral or extraoral, in the maxillofacial region they aid in stabilizing the deformity, prevents scar contracture, stops haemorrhage, and reduce the severity of maxillofacial defect by aiding in fabrication of a better fitting prosthesis. This paper displays the role and application auricular stent in maintaining auriculocephalic angle post-surgery.
De los usos pragmáticos de la medicina tradicional por parte del sector salud a las exclusiones ideológicas de las orientaciones antropológicas: el caso mexicano (1930-2022)
Authors: Menéndez Eduardo L.
Published: May 2022

Este trabajo analiza dos líneas básicas de estudios que se centran en la medicina tradicional utilizada por los pueblos originarios mexicanos desde el siglo XV hasta la actualidad. La primera, impulsada por antropólogos y médicos con formación antropológica, aborda la medicina tradicional para impulsar la biomedicina en los pueblos indígenas, procurando mejorar sus condiciones de salud. Esta línea se desarrolló entre las décadas de 1930 y 1960, para reaparecer a mediados de 1970 a partir de la Conferencia de Alma Ata, y se mantuvo hasta la actualidad buscando expandir la cobertura de atención del sector salud en áreas marginadas, pero supeditando la medicina tradicional, en todos los aspectos, a los programas biomédicos. La segunda línea, ha sido impulsada por antropólogos, sobre todo desde la década de 1960, buscando comprender las culturas originarias a través de la medicina tradicional y de lxs curadorxs, que expresan la cosmovisión, identidad, pertenencia y autonomía cultural de los pueblos originarios. Pero esta búsqueda la realizan tratando de comprender y revalidar el papel de identificador cultural de la medicina tradicional y, en algunas orientaciones, justificar objetivos económico-políticos y, especialmente, ideológicos. Esto lo hacen excluyendo la información sobre morbilidad, mortalidad y esperanza de vida, pese a que los pueblos originarios constituyen el sector social con mayores tasas de mortalidad y menor esperanza de vida.
Analysis of the Relationship between Profitability and Foreign Exchange Positions, Asset Quality, and Loan Growth in the Banking Sector
Authors: YILDIRIM Furkan
Published: May 2022

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the banking profitability indicators and the foreign exchange positions, asset quality, and loan growth indicators of banks using the data for Turkey between 2007: Q2 – 2020: Q3.
Design/Methodology: In the study, the models with two dependent variables and seven independent variables were established. The ARDL method and Toda-Yamamoto causality test were conducted on the models.
Findings: It was detected that a negative relationship existed between the profitability indicators of banks and their foreign exchange positions as well as asset quality indicators in the long-run, however, a positive relationship existed between loan growth and profitability. Similar results emerged for the long-term relationship in the short-run. According to the causality test result, it was concluded that a bilateral causal relationship existed between profitability indicators and non-performing loans/capital ratio, but there was a unilateral causality between foreign currency loans/total loans, non-performing loans/total loans, sectoral distribution of loans/total loans and total loans/GDP variables.
Limitations: The limitations involve the fact that indicators based on the study are obtained from the IMF’s official website and the data on Turkey begins at 2007:Q2, claiming a time constraint on the variables. It can be said that there is a country limitation, since the variables are utilized merely for Turkey.
Originality/Value: The absence of studies modelling internal variables such as banks’ foreign exchange positions and qualities as explanatory variables are observed. It is thought that the explanatory variables pertinent to the banking profitability in the analysis part may contribute to the literature since none of them have been considered for the same model in the previous studies.

Authors: Qi Feng , Xu Wenbo , Li Xiao , Zou Qing , Xu Zicheng
Published: May 2022

Purpose: To investigate the misclassification rates of Asian-American patients with low-risk prostate cancer (PCa).Methods: Patients diagnosed with low-risk PCa treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) between 2010 and 2015 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were included in this study. Then, basic characteristics and pathological outcomes of the enrolled patients were retrospectively extracted. We compared the rates of upgrading and/or upstaging between Asian-American patients and White/Black patients. Moreover, temporal trend analyses were performed to explore the changes in upgrading and upstaging rates in each race over time. Finally, logistic regression models were constructed to explore the role of Asian race in upgrading and upstaging and to screen out potential risk factors for predicting upgrading and upstaging in Asian-American patients.Results: Asian-Americans had a significantly higher rate of upgrading than Whites (P<0.001), while no statistical difference was found in the comparison of upstaging rate (P=0.536). Moreover, Asian-Americans were more likely to upgrade to diseases with higher International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade than Whites (P=0.010). The rate of upgrading increased significantly over time in White and Black patients, but not in Asian-American patients. Finally, race seemed to be an independent risk factor for predicting upgrading, while the racial differences seemed to be more pronounced between White and Black patients.Conclusion: Asian-American patients had a significantly higher rate of upgrading than White patients. Moreover, Asian-American patients were more likely to upgrade to diseases with higher ISUP grade. Further risk assessment before clinical decision for low-risk PCa patients with the help of significant clinical variables is required.
Modeling of heat transfer and hydraulic resistance in short and long straight round pipes with semicircular turbulators depending on geometric and operating parameters
Authors: Lobanov I. E.
Published: May 2022

Objective. The aim of the study was to determine the dependence of the distributions of average integral hydraulic resistances and convective heat transfer in turbulent flow in pipes with small (short channel) and large (long channel) sequences of semicircular periodic protrusions based on numerical solutions of the Reynolds equation systems, closed using Menter's shear stress transfer models, and energy equations on a multi-scale intersecting structured grid.

Method. The calculation technique based on finite volume solutions of the Reynolds equation, closed using the Menter shear stress transfer model and the energy equation on a multi-scale intersecting structured grid, made it possible, with acceptable errors, to calculate the average coefficients of hydraulic resistance and heat transfer in a pipe with different quantities annular semicircular ledges.

Result. Analytical comparisons were made of the calculated ratios for relative heat transfer and hydraulic resistance on the number of protrusions in channels with different values of relative heights of turbulators h/D, relative steps between turbulators t/D, different values of the Reynolds criteria Re, with other equivalent parameters, which showed that in in which case the qualitative deviations of the above characteristics are carried out monotonously, and in which case they are accompanied by extrema or inflections, and also showed cases of qualitative changes in the calculated characteristics. With the transition from 30 protrusions to 50, as a rule, only quantitative differences occur for the relative parameters of hydraulic resistance and heat transfer, and their qualitative changes are insignificant; with a further transition from 50 protrusions to 100, their quantitative changes also become insignificant.

Conclusion. The nature of the patterns of distributions of the mean integral characteristics of flows and heat transfer for a channel with protrusions of various numbers must be taken into account for a short channel. An analysis of the calculated information obtained showed that when moving from a short channel with turbulators to a long one, most often, there is an increase in relative heat transfer and a decrease in relative hydraulic resistance, which justifies the advantage, from the point of view of intensification, of heat transfer by turbulence of the flow of the last channels in relation to the first channels.
Study of cement properties for plugging oil wells
Authors: Salamanova M. Sh.
Published: May 2022

Objective. Cementing oil and gas wells at a sufficiently large depth and at high temperatures is a rather complex and energy-intensive process that requires the use of special cement. The review material on oil well cements confirms the responsibility of choosing this binder, which can guarantee the safe process of drilling, plugging and operating oil wells. The classification of well cement is given, because it is known that when cementing free space in a well, specialists face various difficulties associated with temperature changes, density differences in the earth's crust.

Method. The studies were carried out in accordance with the normative documents GOST 310.3-76 Cements. Methods for determining normal density, setting time and uniformity of volume change; GOST 1581- 2019 Oil-well portland cements. Specifications; GOST 310.4-81 Cements. Methods for determining the ultimate strength in bending and compression.

Result. The properties of grouting cement PCT-I100 were studied, to slow down the setting of the mortar mixture for 10-14 hours, additives "Sulfatsel" and "NTF" retarders were introduced into the binder system with mixing water. The research results showed that the use of retardant additives slowed down the hardening of the system in the first 10 hours, but after setting, the cement stone quickly gained the missing strength. The water demand of oil well cement is quite high 33–35%, which is mandatory for obtaining a mobile mortar mixture, taking into account its injection by pumps into the space of an oil well

Conclusion. The purpose of grouting cement confirms the responsibility and importance of selecting a binder for plugging wells and is determined by various factors, in particular, hydrogeological conditions, temperature, groundwater level in the layers of the earth's crust.
Investigation of the dependences of the Vivaldi antenna with two curve radii in the electrodynamic modeling software package
Authors: Ibragimov S. A.
Published: May 2022

Objective. The aim of the study is to build and optimize a computer model of the antenna using software packages for electrodynamic modeling.

Method. The study is based on dynamic modeling methods.

Result. In this paper, the dependences of the width of the radiation pattern on the curved Vivaldi antenna with a mirror arrangement of the petals are obtained. Graphs of the dependence of the radii of curved petals and aperture values on the width of the radiation pattern in two planes for frequencies of 3 and 24 GHz are plotted. Curve radius, antenna aperture and lower antenna height are plotted as functions of the maximum beamwidth for 24 GHz and the minimum beamwidth for 3 GHz. The obtained dependencies were approximated for two planes θ = 900 (antenna aperture plane) and φ = 00 (plane perpendicular to the antenna aperture plane). By means of regression analy sis, analytical descriptions and graphs of dependences of the maximum beamwidth for 24 GHz and the minimum beamwidth for 3 GHz, on the radii of the curves, aperture and the height of the lower curve of the antenna lobe were obtained.

Conclusion. The resulting mathematical model makes it possible to obtain the values of the radius of the curve, the opening and the lower height of the antenna lobes for different frequencies, as a result, to build a Vivaldi antenna with the desired topology.

Authors: Magomedov I. A. , Mirzabekov M. M. , Aygumov T. G.
Published: May 2022

Objective. The aim of the study is to solve the problems of constructing logicallinguistic (fuzzy) models for controlling the trajectory movement of complex dynamic objects.

Method. To build logical-linguistic (fuzzy) control models, theories of fuzzy sets and algorithms of L. Zadeh were used.

Result. The process of constructing logical-linguistic (fuzzy) models for controlling the trajectory movement of complex dynamic objects using the theory of fuzzy sets and fuzzy algorithms is given. A marine mobile object (MMO) operating in an uncertain environment was used as a control object in the work. It is shown that logical-linguistic (fuzzy) MPO control models can be built taking into account the rich practical experience of a navigator who does not have special knowledge, expressed by them in a qualitative form for building fuzzy control models.

Conclusion. Logicallinguistic control models make it possible to ensure the movement of a marine moving object along a given trajectory with a quality of the controlled process sufficient for practical purposes under conditions of various external disturbances and drift of the parameters of the controlled object. The use of fuzzy control algorithms can significantly reduce the cost of computer time compared to the optimal search algorithm with an acceptable deterioration in the quality of the process and ensure the implementation of the control process in real time.
Determining the coordinates of the earthquake hypocenter with the simultaneous determination of seismic wave velocities
Authors: Sidorkina Yu. A. , Aslanov T. G.
Published: May 2022

Objective. The purpose of the study is to determine the coordinates of the earthquake hypocenter with the simultaneous determination of the seismic wave velocity.

Method. The study is based on the use of figures of the fourth and second order - the Cassini oval and hyperbola, figures of the second order - ellipse and hyperbola and combined methods that allow, at given seismic wave velocities, according to three seismic sensors, to determine the coordinates of the earthquake hypocenter. In this case, the velocities are assumed to be known a priori. According to the readings of the fourth seismic sensor, and for given seismic wave velocities, the distance from the fourth seismic sensor to the hypocenter is determined. Again, according to the coordinates of the fourth seismic sensor and the hypocenter coordinates calculated from the three seismic sensors, the distance between them is calculated. If the seismic wave velocities do not correspond to the true ones, a discrepancy will appear between the two calculated values of the distances from the hypocenter to the fourth seismic sensor. By varying the velocities of seismic waves when calculating the coordinates of the hypocenter, we achieve a minimum discrepancy.

Result. The problem of determining the coordinates of the earthquake hypocenter with the simultaneous determination of seismic wave velocities is solved. The error distribution densities in determining the coordinates of the earthquake hypocenter and seismic wave velocities are obtained.

Conclusion. The proposed method makes it possible to increase the accuracy of determining the coordinates of the earthquake source, as well as to refine the values of seismic wave velocities.

Authors: Dar Amir Ahmad
Published: May 2022

A partnership offers a lot of advantages which include long term stability and more capitals. However, such an arrangement comes with some disadvantages which include loss of autonomy, liabilities, as well as sharing of profit and emotional issues. Among the many factors that need consideration in a partnership, the one factor of prime importance is the evaluation of the prospective partner so as to ensure he/she is a good match. The purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the effects of factors as, among others, the loss of autonomy and liabilities on the functioning of partnership based businesses. In this study, taking into account data collected from 50 enterprises in India, statistical methodologies of ANOVA and multiple comparison tests were used for factor comparisons at the significance level of 5%. Results have shown that in most of the partnership businesses the partners were satisfied with each other, except for emotional issues. It would be then important to deeply explore such issues in order to minimize eventual damages caused by such disadvantage.

Published: May 2022

The proposal to understand the management of diversities in view of the talents found includes understanding the identities of both employees, the organization and the manager himself. Their beliefs and stereotypes can be impediments to organizational growth and loss of talent that are essential to the company's smooth running. The manager's emotions must be regulated as to his personal security in relation to himself and the environment. Having a good management of diversities will make a big difference in competitive markets. Since school management also begins to be seen in the same way as company management, curriculum changes are important in order to implement training focused on the organization's needs, in view of its vision, values and mission. Continuing education appears as a strategy for creating new management models.

Published: May 2022

Food and nutrition security information is a vital component and essential indicator for agriculture and livelihood development. Detailed information and stakeholders' participation in assessing food and nutrition security, especially community and household aspects, is inadequate in the Sudano-Sahelian region. This has necessitated the cross-sectional survey to assess the food and nutrition security status and factors influencing food security in the region. Cross-sectional data were collected from four (4) states (Kano, Jigawa, Bauchi and Gombe), covering 1,200 households. Primary data were collected using a structured questionnaire to elicit information on respondents' profiles, food security parameters and other household activities. Descriptive statistics, Food Consumption Score (FCS), Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS), Household Hunger Scale (HHS) and Coping Strategy Index (CSI) and binary logistic regression were used for data analysis. Results show that household demographic characteristics, especially education, access to credit and the market, are essential components for strengthening household income-generating activities in Northern Nigeria. Food insecurity and nutrition deficiency exist among households with average food consumption scores, poor dietary diversity associated with increased hunger and averagely weak coping strategies. The significant factors influencing food security status positively include the volume of output produced, annual income, and access to credit. The output volume produced an annual income essential for strengthening household food and nutrition security in the Sudano-Sahelian Region. The study recommends the need for massive awareness of the importance of producing essential food crops. Their utilisation at the household level is essential to strengthening the food consumption score and dietary diversity by utilising various food groups. Stakeholders, particularly Government, NGOs, INGOs, and donors, should develop and implement measures to facilitate access to Food and basic social services, especially in vulnerable households. Lastly, income diversification and strengthening incentives for increased food production are essential for the households.

Authors: Areche Franklin Ore
Published: May 2022

The primary goal of this research is to examine and analyse the cost readiness factor as it relates to e-learning deployment. The study will look at the cost efficiency and cost readiness factors that influence the successful adoption of an e-learning system, and propose prospective and long-term solutions that would go a long way toward overcoming cost obstacles in the future. The researchers used a quantitative research method to determine the cost readiness of e-learning implementation. The participants in this study were 219 participants from several private universities. The results demonstrated that cost preparedness has a large predictive value for e-learning and will have a direct positive relationship with it. The survey questions may not necessarily generalize to the greater community of instructors and administrative personnel at private colleges, which is one of the study's limitations.

The Effect of Using Natural Growth Regulators on the Seed Germination of Katokkon Pepper
Authors: Reisky Megawati Tammu  , Bermuli Jessica Elfani
Published: May 2022

Background: Katokkon is a local red pepper that is widely cultivated in the North Toraja Regency and several surrounding areas within the scope of South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. This pepper has a spicy taste and a unique fruit shape like paprika in small size and is rich in nutrients such as ascorbic acid, carotenoids, and capsaicin so that it benefits human health and serves as one of the commodities that improve the people's economy. Katokkon pepper is adapted to grow well in upland areas so that cultivation outside this habitat requires certain efforts to be optimal. Seed germination is an important step in plant cultivation. Coconut water and shallots extract were commonly used as sources of growth regulators substances to stimulate seed germination. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of natural growth regulators substances on the Katokkon pepper seed germination. Methods: This study was conducted by a factorial randomized block design with two factors and three replications. The Katokkon pepper seeds were soaked in the 25%, 50%, and 75% of coconut water and shallots solution for 24 hours. Results: The treatment of coconut water with a concentration of 75% (ZAK3) has a significant effect on the percentage and speed of seed germination of Katokkon pepper. Conclusions: The greater concentration of natural growth regulators used, the greater the percentage of seed germination obtained. However, the effect of coconut water treatment on seed germination of Katokkon pepper was more significant than the shallots extract.

Backgrounds: Heavy metal that pollutes the river area affects living organisms which reside in it. Contamination of heavy metal in Ciliwung River leads to the presence of heavy metal elements (Cd, Hg, and Pb) inside the body of the plecos (Pterygoplichtys Pardalis) which inhabits that area. Hence, the utilization of plecos flesh and bones as a raw material in processed food products (e.g. shredded fish, shumai, and fish flour) might be harmful for human. Accumulated load of heavy metal in human's body would likely trigger health problems. Insufficient data on heavy metal concentration in Ciliwung River plecos-based food products underlies this research, with the aim to calculate the concentration of heavy metal Cd, Hg, and Pb on the previously mentioned plecos-based shredded fish, shumai, and flour. Methods: Heavy metal Cd, Hg, and Pb concentration analysis using X-Ray Fluoresence (XRF) methods conducted on PAIR Batan. Results: Value of Cd on shredded fish <0.5 mg/kg, shumai 0,7 mg/kg, head+tailbone and body skeleton flour <0.3 mg/kg. Value of Hg on shredded fish and shumai <0.7 mg/kg, head+tailbone flour 0.3 mg/kg, body skeleton flour 0.4 mg/kg. Value of Pb on shredded fish 1.3 mg/kg, shumai 0.8 mg/kg, head+tailbone flour 2.3 mg/kg, body skeleton flour 1.6 mg/kg. Conclusions: Heavy metal concentration on Ciliwung River plecos-based processed food products (shredded fish, shumai, and flour) has exceed maximum limit of Cd, Hg, and Pb determined by SNI, BPOM, and FAO.

O artigo tem o objetivo de descrever o desenvolvimento de um indicador sintético de risco para avaliação da ocorrência dos acidentes de motocicleta em Pernambuco. Foi realizado um estudo ecológico de corte transversal, que utilizou dados dos anos de 2014 a 2016 dos sistemas de informações do Ministério da Saúde e da Secretaria Estadual de Saúde. Com base no conceito de risco, foram estudados os acidentes de motocicleta (AM), classificados entre V20 e V29 na Classificação Internacional de Doenças, 10ª revisão, nas regionais do estado, agrupados nos eixos Mortalidade, Morbidade e Motorização. O desenvolvimento do indicador seguiu as etapas de: identificação e seleção das variáveis; construção de indicadores simples; elaboração dos indicadores compostos e construção do índice. Foram identificadas 101 e selecionadas 12 variáveis a partir dos sistemas de informação, considerando os critérios de confiabilidade e relevância. Posteriormente, foram construídos 16 indicadores simples. Em seguida, foram elaborados os indicadores compostos segundo os eixos de avaliação e por fim, o indicador sintético que hierarquizou o risco para ocorrência dos acidentes em: muito baixo, baixo, médio, alto e muito alto risco. Três regiões foram classificadas em muito alto risco; quatro delas em alto risco e as demais regiões classificaram-se em médio risco. No contexto dos acidentes de motocicleta, os indicadores são essenciais ao seu monitoramento e avaliação. O indicador elaborado demonstrou-se importante ferramenta para o enfrentamento desse agravo e definição de prioridades.

Published: May 2022

Este é um estudo descritivo, qualitativo, do tipo relato de experiência, acerca da intervenção realizada pela terapeuta ocupacional residente do Programa de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde Coletiva com Ênfase na Primeira Infância no Contexto do Zika Vírus nas consultas de puericultura e salas de espera de uma unidade básica de saúde (UBS) da cidade de Salvador (BA). A intervenção teve como objetivo desenvolver ações conjuntas de terapia ocupacional e enfermagem para avaliação e acompanhamento do desenvolvimento infantil. Foi confeccionado um kit de avaliação e estimulação do desenvolvimento infantil para ser utilizado durante as consultas de puericultura e nas salas de espera com os cuidadores, com o intuito de abordar sobre a vigilância do desenvolvimento infantil. Para posterior análise reflexiva, utilizou-se o diário de campo. Foi identificada a baixa adesão dos profissionais da unidade de saúde para realização da abordagem multidisciplinar, com exceção da enfermeira responsável pelas consultas de puericultura. No entanto, no que concerne aos usuários, foi perceptível um maior envolvimento dos pais e/ou cuidadores no reconhecimento da importância da vigilância do desenvolvimento infantil por meio do aumento da assiduidade às consultas de puericultura e do interesse em entender e aplicar o conteúdo existente nas cadernetas de saúde da criança para promover o estímulo ao crescimento e desenvolvimento em cada fase de vida da criança. A lógica organizacional da unidade de saúde é fragilizada, porém, conclui-se que a intervenção resultou em direcionamentos para um melhor acolhimento, vínculo, ambiência e clínica ampliada.

Experimental Evaluation of Ductile Fracture of Sheet Metals under Plane Stress States
Authors: Fang Jian , Zhang Jianwei , Yang Xin
Published: May 2022

The four variables Mohr-Coulomb model was established to study the
ductile fracture of metal sheets under plane stress states. Beginning
with the recorded minor and major strain distributing on the deformation
area of uniaxial tension samples, a series of key parameters relative to
the M-C model, including strain ratio, stress triaxiality, Lode angle
parameter and equivalent strain during all the loading period have been
studied for their inherent relationship, by utilizing Moving Regression
algorithm. Then the determined M-C model could be described as the
function of equivalent ultimate strain against the stress triaxiality.
In the present study, three types of samples including 0° pure shear,
45° shear-tension and regular tension were testified suitable to
numerically resolve the W-shaped M-C curve. M-C model and its
transformed curve constructed in the minor/major strain
Cartesian-coordinate could extend the conventional FLC into the field of
shear loading, providing a guide to assess the material resistance
against the ductile failures under various plane stress conditions.

Membaca merupakan proses yang sangat kompleks. Dalam proses membaca, siswa berupaya memahami makna teks atau bacaan. Dalam kegiatan membaca siswa akan memperoleh informasi penting, yakni informasi visual yang berupa semua unsur tulisan yang ada dalam teks bacaan. Di samping itu, membaca merupakan suatu keterampilan yang memerlukan suatu latihan yang intensif, dan berkesinambungan. Siswa yang tidak mampu membaca dengan baik akan mengalami kesulitan dalam  mengikuti kegiatan pembelajaran untuk semua mata pelajaran. Siswa akan mengalami kesulitan dalam menangkap dan memahami informasi yang disajikan dalam berbagai buku pelajaran, buku-buku bacaan penunjang dan sumber-sumber belajar tertulis yang lain. Siswa tersebut akan lamban sekali dalam menyerap pelajaran. Akibatnya, kemajuan belajarnya juga lamban jika dibandingkan dengan siswa yang tidak mengalami kesulitan dalam membaca. Untuk meningkatkan keterampilan membaca siswa kelas rendah, Guru dapat menggunakan media Big Book. Manfaat dari media buku cerita bergambar (Big Book) adalah dapat membantu anak  dalam mengembangkan kemampuan bahasanya, dengan memiliki teks dan gambar yang berukuran besar dan penuh warna-warni yang sesuai dengan pemikiran secara simbolis, dapat membuat anak semakin tertarik untuk membaca dan mendengarkan cerita dari seorang guru Kata Kunci: Membaca di Kelas Rendah  dan Media Buku Cerita Bergambar
