Published: September 2024

Para o cumprimento da Portaria Nº 2.607/GM de 10 de dezembro de 2004, foi implantado oSistema de Informação de Vigilância Ambiental em Saúde sobre Contaminação de Solo(SISSOLO). O SISSOLO objetiva identificar e priorizar áreas com populações expostas asolo com suspeita de contaminação. Neste trabalho objetivou-se fazer uma análise dafuncionalidade do SISSOLO na construção de mapas para propor ações de promoção eprevenção de agravos a saúde da população expostas a contaminação do solo, com estudo decaso em Porto Seguro. Para demonstração da aplicabilidade do sistema, foram selecionadas asseguintes variáveis: ano, região de saúde, número de áreas cadastradas, classificação das áreascadastradas quanto à origem da contaminação, estimativa de população exposta oupotencialmente exposta à contaminação e plano de acompanhamento cadastrado. Após aseleção das variáveis, foram realizadas análises quantitativas dos dados, no períodocompreendido entre 2007 e 2022. Os arquivos receberam tratamento analítico através dosoftware QGIS na sua versão 3.28 e o Sistema de Referência de Coordenadas (SRC) com ocódigo EPSG 31984, correspondente ao sistema de Coordenadas Geográficas no DatumSIRGAS 2000 / UTM zone 24S. Ao final foi construído um mapa com o acúmulo deocorrências das séries históricas dos eventos (mapa de “calor”). Percebe-se que, pela distribuição espacial 90% dos distritos de PortoSeguro apresentam cadastro de áreas potencialmente contaminadas e que, o ano de 2022, foi oano com maior atividade do sistema que se encontrava inoperante até então. A populaçãoexposta nas áreas cadastradas representa um total de 25.750 pessoas expostas a áreascontaminadas e/ou potencialmente contaminadas dentro do recorte temporal. Em 2007 e 2008percebe-se a exposição a resíduos sólidos de diferentes fontes ligados ao descarte inadequadodo lixo. Problemas com a exposição humana a contaminantes químicos encontrados em áreascontaminadas podem contribuir para a mudança do quadro epidemiológico da doença naspopulações. Dessa forma, o geoprocessamento passa a figurar como uma ferramentatecnológica de suma importância quando se fala em gestão de sistemas de saúde que tenha oobjetivo de dinamizar o processo de leitura de dados de localização de pontos comcontaminação em potencial ou confirmada dando mais agilidade ao desencadeamento deações intersetorial e pautada na realidade qual se encontra. A limitação do trabalho é o fato doSISSOLO não ser um sistema de domínio público o que dificulta o acesso aos dados e aforma com quais os dados são apresentados tornando difícil a automação e popularização dosistema. Além disso, o sistema não tem nenhuma comunicação com os demais sistemas deinformação da Vigilância em Saúde. O Ministério da Saúde também não disponibiliza ascoordenadas geográficas das doenças notificadas e nem disponibiliza dados do SISSOLO oque torna o mapeamento das ocorrências, por via online, impossível de ser realizada.

Background. Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is infrequently associated with severe complications in children. A recent observation has linked Covid-19 to recurrent ventricular fibrillation in pediatric patients. Case report. We present a distinct case of severe Covid-19 in an 11-year-old male child who was previously healthy but obese. The patient experienced recurrent fibrillation as a complication and underwent multiple defibrillation shocks, ultimately surviving the ordeal. Early on in the management of refractory ventricular fibrillation, the patient was administered amiodarone intravenously. Upon diagnosis, he was found to have pneumonia and hypoxemic respiratory failure, necessitating supplemental oxygen through intubation due to hypoxia. Given the rapid progression of his pneumonia, a treatment regimen including remdesivir and dexamethasone was initiated. Conclusions. This case study could be utilized as a valuable point of reference for healthcare providers treating young patients with Covid-19. It is essential to apply established treatment methods for pediatric Covid-19 to mitigate risks of complications like ventricular fibrillation in children.

Background and objectives. Nephrological diseases in children are common, representing an important burden on patients and healthcare. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the transition of the most recent advances in the in vitro diagnostics (IVD) field, including point-of-care (POC) testing methods, to the clinical practice in pediatrics. Materials and methods. Testing indications for pediatric nephrological diseases were identified in the available clinical guidelines and, for comparison, the developments in the IVD field were reviewed based on scientific literature about testing methods, performance evaluation, and POC testing implementation. Results. Testing in the context of nephrological diseases is widely addressed in the available clinical guidelines. While performant POC tests have been developed, the recommendations for testing do not address this progress, nor their integration with traditional laboratory tests. For example, urine dipstick testing has a central role in the management of urinary tract infections of children and it is a basis for clinical decisions, the same method being available for both POC and laboratory tests. Conclusions. Specific testing recommendations for nephrological conditions must be elaborated, based on the availability of the methods and their performances. Implementing POC testing is a challenge, but it can provide benefits for both the patient and the healthcare systems, in addition to the standard laboratory testing.

Published: September 2024

Background Subfalcine herniation is the most common type of intracranial herniation. It occurs when brain tissue is pushed under the falx cerebri. Focal necrosis of the cingulate gyrus can occur from direct compression against the falx cerebri. An MLS less than 5 mm suggests a positive outcome, while a shift greater than 15 mm indicates a worse outcome. Prognosis for cerebral herniation depends on factors like the cause, intracranial pressure, cerebral ischemia, and affected brain structures.  Objectives To identify and estimate the incidence of complications from subfalcine herniation on CT and MRI. Materials & Methods The study was conducted prospectively in the Department of Radiodiagnosis, Rajindra hospital, Government Medical College, Patiala on 36 patients who were referred with clinical symptoms and signs of brain herniation due to any etiology. All the patients were subjected to MRI and CT scan. Imaging was performed using CT machine (GE Medical Systems Revolution EVO 128 slice MDCT machine for image acquisition)/ MRI scanner (Siemens 1.5T Magnetom aera MRI machine). All the results were summarized in Microsoft excel sheet and were analyzed by SPSS software.  Results The mean age of 51±19.26 years with a male preponderance (58.33% males). Hypertensive bleed and intra-axial lesion (25% patients each) were the most common pathological finding that led to subfalcine herniation. On initial assessment, 63.89% patients had GCS 9-12, 19.44% had GCS 13-15 and 16.67% had GCS 3-8. On CT scan, our study found that 22.22% patients were having MLS ≤5 mm, 30.55% patients between 6 to 10 mm, 41.67% patients between 11 to 20 mm and 5.55% patients had shift >20 mm. Subfalcine herniation led to complications like hydrocephalus (58.33%), ACA infarct (25%), Hydrocephalus with 3rd cranial nerve palsy (8.33%), Hydrocephalus with Duret hemorrhage (5.56%) and PCA infarct (2.78%).  Conclusion A weak correlation between suspected raised ICP and patient outcomes was noted. Prompt diagnosis relies on CT and MRI scans. Initial symptoms may be subtle, emphasizing the need for comprehensive evaluation and rapid imaging. Early intervention is pivotal for improving outcomes and managing complications associated with cerebral herniation.

Auditor Independence and Experience in Fraud Detection: the Crucial Role of Professional Skepticism
Authors: ANGGIRIAWAN I Putu Budi , JAYAWARSA Anak Agung Ketut
Published: September 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of auditor independence and experience on fraud detection, with professional skepticism as a moderating variable. In today's business world, many companies strive to achieve maximum profits. In pursuit of this goal, some companies engage in fraudulent practices, which have become common among businesspeople and are well-known to the general public. These fraudulent practices occur not only in the private sector but are also frequently found in the government sector, harming many parties due to inaccurate and irrelevant information. Investors are the most affected, as they often make incorrect investment decisions based on misleading information. Agency theory suggests that more independent auditors tend to be more effective in detecting fraud because they are more likely to act in the interest of the capital owners than less independent auditors. This study involves 108 auditors from 19 audit firms in Bali. The structural equation modeling analysis method was employed to measure the strength of the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using Smart PLS. The results show that auditor independence and experience have a positive impact on fraud detection, and professional skepticism strengthens the effect of independence and auditor experience on fraud detection.

The current energy crisis has shown all states that energy from renewable sources can be a determining factor in the states’ sustainable development. Several papers have studied the relationship between renewable energy consumption and economic development, finding various situations, but there is no consensus. Thus, this study aims to first investigate the causal relationship between economic growth and total and sectoral renewable energy consumption (European Union and each Member State, for 2004–2020) by testing various linear and non-linear regressions to choose the fit model. Second, the investigation extends to analysing the impact of renewable energy consumption by sector on economic development. A hybrid approach is used, namely structural equation modelling and artificial neural networks. The study findings indicate the effect and the meaning (directly or inversely) exerted by the three sectoral components on economic growth, with different intensities from one country to another. There is a significant influence on the consumption of renewable energy in the heating and cooling sectors and transport on gross domestic product at the European Union level and for most member states. Based on the obtained results, a series of theoretical, practical, and political implications are provided.
Understanding the Effects of Spacecraft Trajectories through Solar Coronal Mass Ejection Flux Ropes Using 3DCOREweb

Published: September 2024

This study investigates the impact of spacecraft positioning and trajectory on in situ signatures of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Employing the 3DCORE model, a 3D flux rope model that can generate in situ profiles for any given point in space and time, we conduct forward modeling to analyze such signatures for various latitudinal and longitudinal positions, with respect to the flux rope apex, at 0.8 au. Using this approach, we explore the appearance of the resulting in situ profiles for different flux rope types, with different handedness and inclination angles, for both high- and low-twist CMEs. Our findings reveal that CMEs exhibit distinct differences in signatures between apex hits and flank encounters, with the latter displaying elongated profiles with reduced rotation. Notably, constant, nonrotating in situ signatures are only observed for flank encounters of low-twist CMEs, suggesting the existence of untwisted magnetic field lines within CME legs. Additionally, our study confirms the unambiguous appearance of different flux rope types in in situ signatures in all of the cases, barring some indistinguishable cases, contributing to the broader understanding and interpretation of observational data. Given the model assumptions, this may refute trajectory effects as the cause for mismatching flux rope types as identified in solar signatures. While acknowledging limitations inherent in our model, such as the assumption of constant twist and a nondeformable torus-like shape, we still draw relevant conclusions within the context of the global magnetic field structures of CMEs and the potential for distinguishing flux rope types based on in situ observations.

Published: September 2024

Feedback from supermassive black holes is believed to be a critical driver of the observed color bimodality of galaxies above the Milky Way mass scale. Active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback has been modeled in many galaxy formation simulations, but most implementations have involved simplified prescriptions or a coarse-grained interstellar medium (ISM). We present the first set of Feedback In Realistic Environments (FIRE)-3 cosmological zoom-in simulations with AGN feedback evolved to z ∼ 0, examining the impact of AGN feedback on a set of galaxies with halos in the mass range 1012–1013
M
⊙. These simulations combine detailed stellar and ISM physics with multichannel AGN feedback including radiative feedback, mechanical outflows, and, in some simulations, cosmic rays (CRs). We find that massive (>L*) galaxies in these simulations can match local scaling relations including the stellar mass–halo mass relation and the M
BH–σ relation; in the stronger model with CRs, they also match the size–mass relation and the Faber–Jackson relation. Many of the massive galaxies in the simulations with AGN feedback have quenched star formation and elliptical morphologies, in qualitative agreement with observations. In contrast, simulations at the massive end without AGN feedback produce galaxies that are too massive and form stars too rapidly, are order-of-magnitude too compact, and have velocity dispersions well above Faber–Jackson. Despite these successes, the AGN models analyzed do not produce uniformly realistic galaxies when the feedback parameters are held constant: While the stronger model produces the most realistic massive galaxies, it tends to overquench the lower-mass galaxies. This indicates that further refinements of the AGN modeling are needed.
Une relecture prospective du rapport Pisani-Ferry et Mahfouz sur les incidences économiques de l’action pour le climat
Authors: Popiolek Nathalie
Published: September 2024

La prospective stratégique est une démarche assez générique et au fond on peut qualifier comme telle toute réflexion sur les actions à entreprendre aujourd’hui pour préparer le futur. Vue ainsi, la mission d’évaluation des impacts macroéconomiques de la transition écologique, que la Première ministre Élisabeth Borne a confiée en septembre 2022 à Jean Pisani-Ferry, relève bel et bien de cette démarche. Ainsi, c’est avec ce prisme que nous souhaitons relire ici le rapport remis en mai 2023 [Pisani-Ferry, Mahfouz, 2023], qui fait la synthèse du travail mené dans le cadre de cette mission, laquelle a bénéficié du concours d’une centaine d’experts mobilisés au sein de onze groupes thématiques et d’un groupe « simulations ». Mais auparavant, nous souhaitons préciser, en cinq points clés, ce que nous entendons par prospective stratégique.
Transition énergétique : promesses et défis des Just Energy Transition Partnerships
Authors: Ha-Duong Minh
Published: September 2024

Depuis la COP26, les Just Energy Transition Partnerships ( JETP ) portent une promesse majeure pour lutter contre le changement climatique : les pays occidentaux proposent de prêter et d’investir massivement dans les pays émergents pour accélérer leur transition énergétique. Mais les quatre projets pilotes en cours doivent réussir pour que ce dispositif se pérennise et s’étende. Or ces projets révèlent des défis et des effets secondaires potentiels, y compris le risque d’être utilisés à des fins géopolitiques, des conditions cachées, une perte de confiance et un endettement public extérieur excessif. Pour surmonter ces risques, il convient d’accroître la transparence, de promouvoir la compétition, d’adopter des normes sociales et environnementales largement reconnues et de réduire la portion de la dette souveraine dans le paquet de financement global.

La crise énergétique européenne qui s’est ouverte en 2021 n’en finit pas de miner la compétitivité économique du Vieux Continent. Face au retour des empires, il faut pourtant qu’émerge rapidement un nouvel ordre de sécurité énergétique européen, qui implique changements méthodologiques, réduction du poids des idéologies et capacité à intégrer la géopolitique dans les réflexes européens. Le monde globalisé de la transition énergétique se prête mal aux raisonnements anciens : la souveraineté énergétique doit se concevoir aux plans national et européen.

Choix de la meilleure technologie pour le transport maritime d’hydrogène : cas Australie-Japon à l’horizon 2050
Authors: Boissonnet Guillaume , Popiolek Nathalie
Published: September 2024

Le travail réalisé dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche entre le CEA et un industriel a consisté à comparer des chaînes logistiques de transport maritime d’hydrogène entre l’Australie et le Japon à l’horizon 2050. L’objectif était de cibler les axes de R&D susceptibles d’aider les plus prometteuses d’entre elles en termes d’efficacité énergétique, de coût et de service rendu. Ainsi, le processus d’aide au choix multicritère qui a été mené concernait des systèmes non matures et par nature très incertains. On a confirmé l’importance du facteur humain (valeurs portées, vision du futur, aversion au risque notamment) dans le classement final des chaînes et souligné combien il était important que les acteurs concernés s’impliquent sans compter dans l’analyse. Il en va de la robustesse des résultats et de leur utilité pour les orientations stratégiques à donner.
La cybersécurité des infrastructures énergétiques

Published: September 2024

La numérisation croissante du secteur de l’énergie, tout au long de la chaîne de valeur, ouvre de nouvelles menaces en termes cyber. La volonté d’un certain nombre d’acteurs malveillants de viser spécifiquement des infrastructures énergétiques induit la nécessité d’appréhender de manière spécifique la cybersécurité du secteur. Entre enjeux technologiques, humains et règlementaires, la cybersécurité du secteur de l’énergie doit être abordée de manière multidimensionnelle, au risque sinon de faire face à des attaques aux effets potentiellement catastrophiques.
Diplomatie des villes : concept ambitieux, réalité modeste

Published: September 2024

L’école réaliste de théorie des relations internationales considère les États comme les seuls acteurs du système mondial. D’autres théoriciens insistent au contraire sur le rôle des acteurs non étatiques et subnationaux. En pratique, des réseaux de villes ont été créés, mais l’expression « diplomatie des villes » demeure sujette à caution. Depuis quelques années, on assiste à un « retour de l’État » qui laisse peu de place à une action extérieure autonome des collectivités territoriales.
La finance durable et le numérique au service du secteur financier : quels défis éthiques se posent pour les entreprises ?
Authors: Tabouy Laure
Published: September 2024

Le besoin d’orienter des masses considérables d’épargne pour répondre aux enjeux environnementaux, sanitaires et sociaux, les évolutions réglementaires en cours comme la CSRD, sont des enjeux qui rendent impératif de repenser la manière d’investir, de financer les projets et les innovations, et de réorganiser le monde financier. La finance peut contribuer de façon durable au bien commun seulement si l’on réussit à introduire l’éthique dans la théorie et dans la pratique. Cet article s’attache à partager une réflexion sur l’articulation entre l’éthique et la finance durable en général en envisageant la durabilité sous l’angle « conditions pour la santé du vivant au sens large », avec l’exemple de la relation entre l’approche One Health et la finance durable. Cette relation nécessite et appelle à un véritable engagement actif de la part du monde financier. Elle représente une transformation profonde de la manière de concevoir le financement et l’investissement, et la finance en général. Pour cela, l’éthique peut vraiment devenir la pierre angulaire d’une finance durable en étant partie prenante de tous projets et investissements.
La comptabilité écologique comme moteur d’une économie éco-compatible
Authors: Browaeys Dorothée
Published: September 2024

Nos modèles économiques actuels se fondent sur un contrat social et un modèle de croissance insoutenables. Leurs outils (PIB notamment) sont en fait totalement aveugles à la destruction des milieux. Au coeur du système, la comptabilité – si elle devient écologique – peut permettre de renseigner les impacts socio-environnementaux des organisations et d’en tenir compte pour générer des pratiques de production protectrices des milieux vivants. Dans le monde et notamment en France, de nombreux travaux de recherche et d’expérimentation explorent les métriques pertinentes et les modèles comptables aptes à intégrer le capital naturel dans la mesure des performances des organisations. Ils préparent l’émergence de nouveaux modèles d’affaires durables dans un « régime économique » compatible avec les systèmes vivants qu’appellent les réglementations européennes du Pacte Vert.
Error estimate and superconvergence of a high-accuracy difference scheme for 2D heat equation with nonlocal boundary conditions
Authors: Zhou Liping , Yan Yumei , Liu Ying
Published: September 2024

In this work, we initially construct an implicit Euler difference scheme for a two-dimensional heat problem, incorporating both local and nonlocal boundary conditions. Subsequently, we harness the power of the discrete Fourier transform and develop an innovative transformation technique to rigorously demonstrate that our scheme attains the asymptotic optimal error estimate in the maximum norm. Furthermore, we derive a series of approximation formulas for the partial derivatives of the solution along the two spatial dimensions, meticulously proving that each of these formulations possesses superconvergence properties. Lastly, to validate our theoretical findings, we present two comprehensive numerical experiments, showcasing the efficiency and accuracy of our approach.
On coupled non-linear Schrödinger systems with singular source term
Authors: Almuthaybiri Saleh , Saanouni Tarek
Published: September 2024

This work studies a coupled non-linear Schrödinger system with a singular source term. First, we investigate the question of the local existence of solutions. Second, one proves the existence of global solutions which scatter in some Sobolev spaces. Finally, one establishes the existence of non-global solutions. The main difficulty here is to overcome the regularity problem in the non-linearity. Indeed, because of the singularity of the source term, the classical contraction method in the energy space fails in such a regime. So, this paper is to fill such a gap in the literature. The argument follows ideas in T. Cazenave and I. Naumkin (Comm. Contemp. Math., 19 (2017), 1650038). This consists to remark that the singularity problem is only near the origin. So, one needs to impose that the solution stays away from zero. This is not trivial, since there is no maximum principle for the Schrödinger equation. The existence of global solutions which scatter follows with the pseudo-conformal transformation via the existence of local solutions. Finally, the existence of non-global solutions follows with the classical variance method.
Direction and stability of Hopf bifurcation in an eco-epidemic model with disease in prey and predator gestation delay using Crowley-Martin functional response
Authors: Sarwardi Sahabuddin , Mollah Hasanur , Raezah Aeshah A. , Basir Fahad Al
Published: September 2024

In this work, we have studied an eco-epidemic model using the Crowley-Martin functional response that includes disease in prey and gestation delay in the predator population. The model possesses three equilibria, namely the disease-free, Predator-free, and the interior equilibrium point. In addition, we examined the stability of the equilibrium points varying the infection rate and time delay parameter. Detailed analysis of Hopf bifurcation of the interior equilibrium point contains two situations: with delay and without delay. Moreover, we have studied the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of periodic solutions utilizing normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. It is emphasized that Hopf bifurcation occurs when the time delay exceeds the critical value and that the critical value of the delay is strongly impacted by the infection rate in prey. A detailed numerical simulation is provided to verify the analytical results.
A new study on the Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation with Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative
Authors: Alkan Aslı , Anaç Halil
Published: September 2024

In this research, we propose a new numerical method that combines with the Caputo-Fabrizio Elzaki transform and the q-homotopy analysis transform method. This work aims to analyze the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional Newell-Whitehead-Segel (NWS) equation utilizing the Caputo-Fabrizio q-Elzaki homotopy analysis transform method. The Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation is a partial differential equation employed for modeling the dynamics of reaction-diffusion systems, specifically in the realm of pattern generation in biological and chemical systems. A convergence analysis of the proposed method was performed. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphs of the solutions have been drawn with the Maple software. It is seen that the resulting proposed method is more powerful and effective than the Aboodh transform homotopy perturbation method and conformable Laplace decomposition method in the results.
A symplectic approach to Schrödinger equations in the infinite-dimensional unbounded setting
Authors: Lucas Javier de , Lange Julia , Rivas Xavier
Published: September 2024

By using the theory of analytic vectors and manifolds modeled on normed spaces, we provide a rigorous symplectic differential geometric approach to $ t $-dependent Schrödinger equations on separable (possibly infinite-dimensional) Hilbert spaces determined by families of unbounded self-adjoint Hamiltonians admitting a common domain of analytic vectors. This allows one to cope with the lack of smoothness of structures appearing in quantum mechanical problems while using differential geometric techniques. Our techniques also allow for the analysis of problems related to unbounded operators that are not self-adjoint. As an application, the Marsden-Weinstein reduction procedure was employed to map the above-mentioned $ t $-dependent Schrödinger equations onto their projective spaces. We also analyzed other physically and mathematically relevant applications, demonstrating the usefulness of our techniques.

Published: September 2024

The health of ourselves and our loved ones is always our top priority as human beings; it is something we are concerned about on a daily basis. Regardless of age, gender, socio-economic, cultural, or ethnic origin, health is regarded as our most valuable possession. Although about 75% of Indians live in rural areas, more than 75% of Indian doctors live in cities. The majority of India's 620 million rural residents do not have access to primary health care. A study by the Indian Institute of Public Opinion found that 89% of Indian patients in rural areas walk up to five miles to receive primary health care. Telemedicine has the potential and the ability to reform this inequality by allowing doctors in urban areas to consult with local people, including specialized care when needed. The chapter outlines the legality of telemedicine, the effectiveness of the framework in regulating the practice, the different modes available for tele-consultation, and how it can be integrated into population health management, pharmacogenomics and patient-centered care.
