Introduction Part of the Knowledge and Intelligence Course
Authors: Wu Honglin
Published: November 2023

It is necessary for students to have a deep understanding of knowledge and intelligence. We have been teaching Knowledge and Intelligence course to the students majoring in computer science and artificial intelligence at Northeastern University since 2018. This paper is about the instructional design of the introductory part of the knowledge and intelligence course. We use a question to draw out the significance of the Knowledge and Intelligence course: "When did humans part ways with other animals?" We organize students to debate whether "walking upright" or "using tools" can better distinguish humans from animals. Through the teacher's comments on the debate, students will find that both "walking upright is a sign that distinguishes humans from other animals" or "using tools is a sign that distinguishes humans from other animals" are correct. Their essence is that "knowledge is the mark that distinguishes humans from other animals." Through the exploration and inheritance of knowledge, humans gradually parted ways with other animals. Students will understand the great significance of the Knowledge and Intelligence course by this way.

O emprego da ecocardiografia por médicos não ecocardiografistas tem se tornado comum em todo o mundo nos mais diversos ambientes em que se dá o cuidado do paciente agudamente doente. A avaliação ecocardiográfica realizada de forma point-of-care pode fornecer informações pertinentes em relação ao mecanismo das causas de choque, por exemplo, incrementando as taxas de diagnóstico correto e possibilitando a tomada de decisão fundamentada de forma mais rápida do que por meio dos métodos tradicionais de avaliação. Considerando que o diagnóstico preciso de situações ameaçadoras à vida é indispensável a profissionais atuando junto a pacientes agudamente enfermos, diversas entidades associativas internacionais recomendam que médicos responsáveis por pacientes gravemente doentes devam adquirir e desenvolver a habilidade para realizar exames ultrassonográficos à beira do leito, inclusive ecocardiográficos. Entretanto, não há consenso na literatura acerca de quais aplicações específicas devam compor o rol de habilidades do médico não ecocardiografista. Levando-se em consideração a multiplicidade de aplicações da ecocardiografia em diversos cenários relativos ao paciente agudamente enfermo; as diferenças nos protocolos publicados, tanto no que diz respeito à metodologia de ensino como de verificação de competências, bem como a heterogeneidade da formação entre as mais diversas especialidades responsáveis pelo seu cuidado em diferentes níveis, este documento de consenso teve o objetivo de refletir o posicionamento de representantes de sociedades médicas brasileiras afins acerca do tema, podendo, assim, servir de ponto de partida para a uniformização entre diferentes especialidades, bem como para a transmissão de conhecimento e a verificação das competências correspondentes.

TORSO CANSADO DE APOLO
Authors: Marques Rodrigues Bráulio , Barbosa Neto Geraldo
Published: November 2023

Peter Sloterdijk em “Tu tens de mudar de vida” [Du mußt dein Leben ändern] entende a antropotécnica como imperativo da experiência e ascetologia geral. A partir da ética pessoal, Sloterdijk propõe um catálogo de disciplinas com capacidade de contágio social. Sloterdijk acusa o pensamento da teoria crítica, na defesa dos movimentos sociais em suas lutas por direitos, de advocacia da deficiência. Para o filósofo alemão, a antropotécnica aparece como uma metáfora da autorrealização e não resta justificativa estrutural ao fracasso. Por sua vez, pode-se deduzir que há em Sloterdijk uma anuência tácita com o neoliberalismo. Em contraposição, é apresentado o diagnóstico de Byung-Chul Han sobre a sociedade do cansaço e o custo material que envolve a autorrealização em sistemas imunitários programados para restringir as condições psicopolíticas da autorrealização e atribuir deficiência ao desabilitado.

Advancements in the Fight against HIV/AIDS
Authors: Mehboob Riffat
Published: November 2023

For forty years, the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has posed a threat to world health, resulting in unimaginable misery and fatalities. Significant advancements in the knowledge and treatment of HIV/AIDS have been accomplished since the early stages of the epidemic.  One of the most important aspects of the fight against AIDS is still stopping the spread of HIV. HIV prevention has undergone a revolutionary change with the advent of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP). In high-risk groups, PrEP dramatically lowers the risk of HIV infection when taken as directed. Furthermore, increasing condom usage and safe sex practices brought about by awareness-raising and education efforts have helped to reduce the number of new HIV infections in many areas. Disparities in access to preventative resources still exist, however, which highlights the need of ongoing efforts to ensure that everyone may use these treatments [1].

Treatment for HIV/AIDS has come a long way in the last several decades. The mainstay of addressing the disease is antiretroviral treatment (ART), which has changed it from a fatal illness to a chronic one. The quality of life and life expectancy of patients have improved with the development of new, more effective, and less toxic antiretroviral medications. In addition, the use of multi-drug regimens has improved viral suppression and decreased the risk of treatment resistance. Treatment plans now include targeted therapies in addition to medicine, such using CRISPR or other gene editing technologies to attack the virus at its genetic core. Additionally, the creation of long-acting injectable ART formulations has improved treatment compliance, lessening the strain on patients and medical systems [2].

Notwithstanding these developments, problems including medication resistance, treatment accessibility, and the persistence of latent viral reservoirs still exist. To get over these challenges and get one step closer to the ultimate objective of a workable treatment, research must continue. Many nations are making progress toward these goals, but there is still more to be done, especially in areas with weak healthcare systems. In addition to medical treatments, elimination calls for tackling the societal factors that contribute to the illness, such as inequality, stigma, and prejudice. Addressing these more general concerns, encouraging thorough sex education, and enabling communities to speak out for their own health are all necessary components of effective eradication initiatives. There has been a great deal of advancement in the prevention, treatment, and eradication of HIV/AIDS in the battle against the disease. To reach the ultimate objective of an AIDS-free world, however, more research and cooperation between scientists, medical professionals, legislators, and communities are required. Looking back over the last forty years, we should be encouraged by the advancements and reaffirm our commitment to making sure that HIV/AIDS does not pose a danger to global health for coming generations.

A temática das migrações internacionais tem ganhado relevância na agenda polí­tica internacional tanto pela intensidade e abrangência espacial dos atuais fluxos de migrantes, quanto pelos diferentes modos como tem ocorrido a dinâmica de inserção social e econômica dos imigrantes nos territórios de destino. Nesse processo, a dimensão do emprego e dos ví­nculos e renda do trabalho são importantes elementos a considerar. Neste sentido, o artigo analisa a dinâmica laboral e o perfil dos trabalhadores imigrantes internacionais inseridos no mercado formal de trabalho no estado do Rio Grande do Sul – Brasil, na série histórica de 2010, 2014 e 2018. O trabalho caracteriza-se como um estudo exploratório, de natureza quanti-qualitativa, e foi realizado com base em dados secundários provenientes da Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS), seguido de análise qualitativa tendo como foco o processo de inserção dos imigrantes recentes no mercado de trabalho formal. Observa-se que desde 2010, o Rio Grande do Sul tem atraí­do um contingente significativo de imigrantes laborais internacionais, especialmente latino americanos do sexo masculino, que atuam sobretudo na indústria de transformação, serviços e comércio. A distribuição dos imigrantes internacionais tem sido desigual no território sul riograndense, e os imigrantes têm se localizado notadamente nas regiões dos Coredes: Delta Metropolitano do Jacuí­, Serra, Vale dos Sinos, Vale do Taquari, Sul, Produção e Fronteira Oeste.

O estudo aproximou três manifestações empíricas pouco relacionadas em pesquisas: coletivização social, consenso e meios de hospedagem rural no Brasil. Tal aproximação foi mote do problema de pesquisa, pois estudos sobre meios de hospedagem não têm se preocupado em investigar condições espaciais como signo para coletivização e consenso no intuito de soluções para demandas sociais. De modo que o objetivo da pesquisa foi descrever espaços de meio de hospedagem rural no Brasil como signo de coletivização e consenso. Para tanto, tomou-se como objeto de pesquisa a Pousada Vitória, no município de Santa Rosa de Lima, Santa Catarina (SC), Brasil; integrante da experiência exitosa de turismo rural brasileiro Acolhida na Colônia. Foi utilizada pesquisa de caráter qualitativo e descritivo; enquanto instrumental de pesquisa, foi feita pesquisa bibliográfica e em fontes primárias e secundárias, leitura espacial in loco registrada em fotografias e entrevista aberta. Todos os dados coletados foram descritos à luz da Teoria da Montagem (Walter Benjamin), suportada pelo ideal de abdução (Charles Sanders Peirce). Os resultados obtidos denotaram a possibilidade de coletivização e consenso em espaços de meio de hospedagem rural, que, de outro modo, indicia espaços para ações cívicas no espaço rural brasileiro.

A saúde materno-infantil tem sido uma preocupação global. A mortalidade materna e infantil é um importante indicador da saúde e revelam as iniquidades sociais de um país, pois se encontram maiores taxas em locais de baixo e médio desenvolvimento socioeconômico. O objetivo desse trabalho, portanto, é analisar como ocorrem as relações da capacidade estatal no desempenho da saúde materno-infantil dos municípios brasileiros. Para atender aos objetivos do trabalho se utilizou da Modelagem de Equações Estruturais. Constatou-se que o desempenho da saúde materno-infantil é dependente das diversas capacidades que o Estado proporciona: capacidade em ofertar ambientes adequados e informações para o controle da sociedade perante as ações públicas; capacidade em ofertar condições sociais e econômicas para a população, nesse caso, gestantes e seus filhos; capacidade em ofertar recursos humanos e físicos da saúde materno-infantil para prevenção e cuidados desse público-alvo. Além disso, se observou que a atenção primária, por meio da Estratégia Saúde da Família é um dos caminhos mais eficientes para a promoção do desempenho da saúde materno-infantil, pois a prevenção suscita em cidadãos mais saudáveis, e por consequência, menos utilização da atenção secundária e terciária, atenções de saúde mais custosas aos cofres públicos.
