Published: August 2021

O presente artigo se trata de um relato de experiência sobre um trabalho desenvolvido com um grupo de caminhada, moradores do bairro de Jardim São Paulo, Recife-PE, durante o isolamento social provocado pela pandemia do COVID-19. O objetivo do trabalho foi descrever a experiência de promoção da atividade física e saúde da população idosa no contexto de pandemia COVID-19. As atividades foram realizadas de forma remota, seja por videochamada, compartilhamento de vídeos do programa academia da cidade, seja por atendimento individual, produção e divulgação de cartilha e debates sobre saúde e atividade física. As intervenções iniciaram logo após as medidas de distanciamento social serem divulgadas pelo Estado, entre abril e julho de 2020. A frequência semanal foi de 3 atividades semanais, sendo uma de educação para saúde, e outras de orientação para atividade física. O público-alvo eram participantes de um grupo de caminhada desenvolvido durante a residência, que também participam de um grupo de WhatsApp chamado “peso saudável”, desenvolvido pelos profissionais de Saúde da Unidade Básica de Saúde em Jardim São Paulo. O grupo tem um total de 21 pessoas e é composto majoritariamente por mulheres (20), com idades distribuídas entre 60 – 81 anos. Como resultado, a intervenção se mostrou como facilitadora no processo de inclusão digital da população idosa, bem como, possibilitou que o público-alvo tivesse acesso à atividade física orientada durante o período de isolamento social e com isso contribuir para melhora da condição de saúde do grupo, uma vez que a melhora nos níveis de atividade física contribuiu para o controle de hipertensão e diabetes, além de fatores psicológicos como socialização e diminuição nos níveis de estresse.

Authors: Suparman  
Published: August 2021

The purpose of this research was to increase students' achievement in reading comprehension by implementing the Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) strategy to the 7th grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Surabaya in the academic year 2020/2021. Each cycle of classroom action research consisted of three meetings and included four steps: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The data were gathered through the use of two instruments: observation and test. The results indicated that students made great progress in their ability regarding to the reading comprehension. Pre-test mean score was only 67.28, but improved to 72.42 in cycle I and 81.22 in cycle II. The pre-test of the highest score was only 78 and improved to 82 to 90 in subsequent cycles. Meanwhile, the lowest pre-test score was 60, and the lowest post-test score ranged from 62 to 68. In case of the students who passed the tests, while only 6 students (16.67%) passed the pre-test, there were significant improvements in post-tests, with 12 students (33.33%) passing in post-test cycle I and 29 students (80.56%) passing in post-test cycle II. This research was stopped in cycle II due to the fact that the criteria for success were met in a percentage of 80.56%, with 29 students passing the post-test in cycle II, based on the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) standard of > 76.

Authors: Massuh Coello Maria Cecilia , Sánchez Dávila Maria Isabel 
Published: August 2021

Introducción: La enfermedad de hígado graso no alcohólica se caracteriza por la infiltración grasa mayor al 5% y que en la población pediátrica se encuentra asociada a alteraciones metabólicas adquiridas o congénitas, con alta prevalencia en población hispánica. El objetivo del presente estudio fue establecer la correlación entre el índice de masa corporal y el grado ecográfico de esteatosis hepática en niños y adolescentes asistentes a una consulta de control de salud.
Métodos: El presente estudio observacional, analítico, de corte transversal, retrospectivo, se llevó a cabo en pacientes de 2 a 17 años de edad con esteatosis hepática, atendidos en el área de consulta externa del Hospital de Niños Dr. Roberto Gilbert Elizalde , Guayaquil-Ecuador, entre los años 2015 a 2019. Se midió el peso, talla, índice de masa corporal, grado de esteatosis y niveles de AST y ALT. Se estableció un análisis de correlación entre esteatosis como variable dependiente.
Resultados: Ingresaron al estudio 77 casos con una media de 11 años y el género femenino representó el 39% de la muestra. No hubo asociación entre el grado ecográfico de esteatosis hepática vs. la edad, género, peso, talla o índice de masa corporal. En el análisis entre los niveles de transaminasas en pacientes con grado ecográfico leve a severo, se observó un ascenso significativo de AST (P=0.003) y medianamente significativo de ALT (P=0.0583).
Conclusiones: Este estudio demostró la ausencia de correlación del grado ecográfico de esteatosis con el índice de masa corporal. La detección temprana con las herramientas adecuadas de la esteatosis hepática debe ser una prioridad en el cuidado de los pacientes pediátricos para evitar su progresión a cirrosis hepática, por lo cual se recomienda el uso de transaminasas como método de cribado a los pacientes con factores de riesgo.

Published: August 2021

O presente artigo possui como objetivo uma análise do conteúdo jornalístico dos cinco maiores jornais comerciais brasileiros sobre a fusão ocorrida, em 2019, entre a TV Brasil e a NBR. A pesquisa suscitou reflexões acerca da complementariedade disposta no artigo 223 da Constituição Federal, das intervenções que a Empresa Brasil de Comunicação sofreu desde 2016, da fusão das emissoras e das relações que permeiam o campo midiático privado e público. A investigação observou que o ato de fusão foi extremamente subnoticiado em um período de quase dois anos e, das vezes em que foi noticiado, pouco foi levantada a existência de possíveis ilegalidades no ato.

Published: August 2021

Objective: Patients with oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) are at risk for development of malignancy and tobacco use contributes in its transformation. This study was designed to assess exfoliative cytological findings in OPMD cases using tobacco and healthy controls with no history of tobacco use. The aim was to screen OPMD cases for biopsy with the help of brush cytology.
Materials and Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at Histopathology Laboratory of Peshawar Medical College, Peshawar for which samples were collected from two dental hospitals and private dental clinics of Peshawar. The study included 20 cases of clinically diagnosed Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMDs) with history of tobacco use; including 10 cases of leukoplakia and 10 cases of oral lichen planus (OLP), and 20 age and gender matched healthy controls with no history of tobacco use, after observing a strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. A pre-designed proforma was used to collect the data, which was later analyzed in SPSS version 21.
Results: A total of 40 participants had a mean age of 48.25±10.01 years with gender distribution of 32(80%) males and 8(20%) females, giving a male to female ratio of 4:1. The duration of tobacco use in cases had a mean of 22.95 ± 9.17 years, while duration of lesion had a mean of 2.3±4.4 years. As per Oral Bethesda Criteria, 18 (90%) OPMD cases were Negative for Intraepithelial Lesion/Malignancy (NILM). Buccal mucosa 12(60%) was the most common site of lesions. On Oral Exfoliative Cytology (OEC), OPMDs showed mild to moderate cytological changes as compared to healthy controls.
Conclusion: This study concluded that most of the OPMD cases show mild to moderate cytological changes as compared to healthy controls. Dysplastic changes were seen only in 10% of OPMD cases that needed further assessment through biopsy.
Correctivos disciplinarios en las corporaciones de seguridad pública en México
Authors: Lomelí-Delgadillo Juan Gabriel 
Published: August 2021

Disciplinary procedures comprised within the internal regulations of public security corporations in Mexico have long been used as ways of workplace terrorism by overseers who lack both the required preparation for their posts as well as the leadership to achieve goals that could be attained by other means, but their lack of empathy, obsession for shortterm goals and inexperience on the subject of crime prevention, combined with the inadequate training of new recruits, derive in the breeding of the submissive personnel that said overseers require to maintain their repressive working environment; that is to say, they groom their new employees to match their way of managing, creating robots that only obey and are unable to expose their bosses' incompetence.
This situation has paved the way for a disregard, in both the executive and the legislative branches, to rectify the mistakes made when it comes to the labor rights of those within public security corporations. The premise has always been to appoint the next “Security Guru”, and to follow blindly whichever road he chooses. Politicians in office have never been concerned with learning the least about public security strategies: they simply put their trust in whoever they appoint and defend their stance, as long as it doesn't backfire.
Controller comparison and mathematical modelling of ball and beam system
Authors: Herrera Granda Israel David 
Published: August 2021

El presente proyecto muestra una comparación entre tres técnicas de control aplicadas en el sistema de bola y barra, en el cual una barra es girada usando un motor y esta rotación hace que una esfera ruede sobre la barra hasta alcanzar la posición deseada. El modelado matemático se realizó escribiendo las ecuaciones dinámicas en el espacio de estado, y las ecuaciones de estado no lineal se representaron como un sistema de planta utilizando Simulink del software Matlab. Las técnicas de control aplicadas fueron el controlador de retroalimentación de estado, el regulador cuadrático lineal (LQR) y el controlador NARMA basado en redes neuronales. Las tres técnicas se aplicaron para señales continuas y discretas y se probaron con y sin un observador de estado. Se realizaron varias simulaciones utilizando Matlab y Symulink, y los resultados mostraron que el sistema puede ser estabilizado por todos los controladores con ligeras diferencias, la retroalimentación de estado fue más rápida y el modelo NARMA fue más agil y requirió una entrada más pequeña.

Les infections sont responsables d'une part importante de la morbidité et de la mortalité chez l'enfant drépanocytaire. Notre objectif était d'étudier le profil clinique et bactériologique des infections bactériennes de l'enfant drépanocytaire dans le service de pédiatrie du CHU Gabriel Touré. Matériel et méthodes: Nous avons réalisé une étude rétrospective sur 25 dossiers d'hospitalisation d'enfants drépanocytaires fébriles ayant bénéficié d'une hémoculture sur une période de 5 ans (2005-2010). Nous avons analysé les caractéristiques cliniques et bactériologiques des enfants ayant une hémoculture positive. Résultats: Dix des 25 hémocultures réalisées étaient positives. La tranche d'âge de 0-5 ans était la plus touchée (60%). Le suivi était irrégulier pour 7 enfants et 6/10 n'avaient pas reçu le vaccin anti pneumococcique. Sur le plan clinique, 5 cas de sepsis, une infection pulmonaire et 4 cas infections ostéo articulaires ont été diagnostiquées. La goutte épaisse était positive pour 4 patients. Les germes retrouvés ont été : Salmonella enterica sérotype Typhi (4 fois), Streptococcus pneumoniae (4 fois), Staphylococcus aureus (1fois), Enterobacter cloacae (1fois) ont été isolés. Salmonella enterica sérotypeTyphia été isolé dans 3 cas d'infections ostéo-articulaires et un cas de sepsis, Streptococcus pneumoniae était en cause dans l'infection pulmonaire et dans un cas de sepsis. L'antibiothérapie probabiliste dans la majorité des cas était basée sur les céphalosporines de troisième génération. L'évolution a été favorable dans 80% des cas. Conclusion : Les complications infectieuses de la drépanocytose peuvent être graves. La disponibilité de l'hémoculture doit nous permettre de caractériser le profil bactériologique dans notre contexte.
Etude de l'implication du système d'efflux EmrAB dans la multirésistance chez Salmonella enterica Typhimuriu

Published: August 2021

Salmonella est un responsable majeur des cas de toxi-infection d'origine alimentaire. Malgré la diminution de l'incidence des salmonelloses ces dernières années, une augmentation du nombre des souches résistantes aux antibiotiques est observée. La résistance simultanée à plusieurs familles d'antibiotiques est particulièrement importante chez le sérotype Typhimurium de lysotype DT104. La résistance multiple est due à des mécanismes spécifiques associés et au mécanisme d'efflux actif plurispécifique. L'efflux permet à la bactérie de diminuer sa concentration intracellulaire en composés toxiques et ainsi de survivre dans un environnement hostile. Chez les entérobactéries, parmi les différents transporteurs identifiés, AcrB joue un rôle important dans la résistance multiple en fonctionnant en système d'efflux tripartite AcrAB-TolC. Cependant, chez S. Typhimurium, un autre transporteur que AcrB semble jouer un rôle important, en association avec TolC, dans la résistance aux sels biliaires. EmrB, un transporteur de la famille MFS pourrait jouer ce rôle, ainsi, des mutants inactivés au niveau du gène emrB et du gène codant le régulateur transcriptionnel, emrR ont été construits. Les tests de sensibilité aux antibiotiques et aux sels biliaires n'ont pas montré de différence significative entre la souche parentale et les mutants. La complémentation avec le gène emrB n'a pas permis d'amplifier le fragment attendu, pour chacun des clones testés.

Purpose – This study seeks to verify whether the performance of Brazilian Congressional Representatives is related to MHDI and GDP per capita indices and the regions they represent. Methodology – Regarding the performance of the parliamentarians, the data used were those made available by the Transparência Brasil portal and analyzed using the multivariate exploratory non-hierarchical cluster analysis technique K-means. Federative Units were divided into clusters according to the similarities they presented with respect to the variables that made up the analysis. Findings – After the analyses, we were able to determine that there is no relation of equivalence between the performance of representatives in Congress and the observed research development indices (MHDI and GDP per capita) with states of different regions and quite distinct conditions of development making up the same group of analysis. Originality/value – The researched data, or even the identification of transparency actions demonstrates the wide variety of analysis possibilities that are available in terms of discussions of the performance of political agents and their respective returns for the population. We would suggest that future studies can use other data or other reports displayed in the transparency portals of various spheres of government. Other research possibilities can be developed based on qualitative analyses of the effective representativity of the projects proposed by these representatives of the people.

Authors: Vairagi Shymal , Hedge Ashwith , Kalia Ajit , Nene Salil , Raja Amit 
Published: August 2021

Introduction -Transverse discrepancies of the maxilla are one of the most prevalent skeletal problems. Due to drawbacks of conventional RPE and invasive surgical expansion methods alternative methods were developed such as Mini Implant-supported rapid maxillary expansion (MARPE).Haas17 , Davis and Kronman18, Akkaya et al19 and many other studies have reported the maxillary response after MARPE on the sagittal dimensions, but their results were inconclusive.
Aim - This study analyzed the effects on the maxilla in the sagittal dimension after Mini Implant assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in adolescents using CBCT.
Material and method -A pretreatment CBCT image (T1) was taken as a standard initial record for all patients and post treatment CBCT (T2) was taken after three months in retention. The parameters SNA angle, Frankfort horizontal plane to NA angle, A-N perpendicular, ANS –PNS were measured and calculated for evaluation of the sagittal maxillary changes. Comparisons were then made between the two treatment groups (T1, T2).
Result -There was a positive increase in both angular and linear measurements from pretreatment to post treatment measurements showing significant skeletal changes in sagittal dimension.
Conclusion -The study concludes that there was statistically significant forward displacement of maxilla after transverse skeletal expansion in patients with transverse problems achieved through MARPE in adolescent patients.

In Nigeria, spent oil destroys crops, contaminate farmland, aquaculture and drinking water. It also alters the soil properties, leads to deficit of water and oxygen, shortages of soil nutrients like N and P, adsorbs to soil particles and reduces porosity and aeration of soil. The study aims to determine the potential of groundnut hull (GAC) and rice husk (RAC) activated charcoal in biodegradation of spent lubrication oil in soil with reduction in mobility and bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the tissues of the cultivated cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) plants. Experimental units were set up in a screen house containing cowpea seedlings planted in different soil treatments: polluted, unpolluted as well as RAC and GAC remediated polluted soil, each in 5 replicates. Mobility and bioaccumulation of the heavy metals in the root, shoot and seeds of the cowpea were analyzed. Cd, Cr and Pb were below detectable limit (BDL), Cu was 0.21 and Zn was 0.26 mg/kg in unpolluted soil while the levels of heavy metals were elevated in spent oil polluted soil: Cd 0.1, Cr 0.25, Pb 0.12, Cu 0.7 and Zn 0.63 mg/kg. RAC treatments significantly decreased the mobility and bioaccumulation of the heavy metals in the root (F3, 14 = 19.338, Sig = 0.00 (p < 0.05) so also, GAC significantly decreased the heavy metals mobilization and bioaccumulated in the cowpea roots (F3, 14 = 91.224, Sig = 0.000 (p < 0.05). RAC and GAC are potential effective and low cost phytoremediation materials.
An Assessment of Women’s Experiences and Challenges Faced with Post Abortion Care (PAC) Services in Buea
Authors: Mbong Teng Esther , Nsagha Dickson S. , Ambe Niba Clinton , Okunlola Micheal , Sina A. Oladokun 
Published: August 2021

Background: Unsafe abortion is one of the commonest causes of maternal mortality and post-abortion care services have been acclaimed as the best remedy for this situation. Yet, high maternal mortality still prevails pointing to issues with the quality of services. The paper was designed to investigate women's motives for engaging in unsafe abortion; assess women's experiences on the quality of PAC services and identify the challenges women faced in accessing PAC services in Buea.
Methods: This study recruited 10 participants in Buea. Using a structured interview, data was collected on women's motives for engaging in unsafe abortion; assess women's experiences on the quality of PAC services, and identify the challenges women faced in accessing PAC services in Buea. Thematic and grounded theory analytical techniques were used to organize and interpret the data.
Results: Majority of women in Buea did not use contraceptives for different reasons ranging from personal, spousal consent, ignorance, and the fear of side effects of contraceptive use. The low contraceptive use accounts highly for unwanted pregnancy cases which results in the decisions to induce. Most of these women involuntarily engage in induced abortion, highly driven by second party influence like the request from spouse/partner, disappointment from the spouse, and fear of parents’ reactions; while some occur as a result of missed abortion. The quality of PAC services received by most of these women were merely emergency treatments without proper PAC activities like family planning counseling, provision of modern contraceptive methods, linkages to other reproductive health care services. Women in Buea encounter some challenges in the use of PAC services, pains associated with the procedure, the cost, the absence of some family planning methods, the absence of counselling before PAC and above all, non constant availability of blood in the bood bank for transfusion.
Conclusion: This study concluded that most women in Buea engage in induced abortion on account of the pressure to terminate an unwanted pregnancy; resulting from low contraceptives use; desire to avoid problems from their spouses/partners as well as to pursue career ambition. Moreover, the quality of PAC services offered to women in Buea was emergency treatment; void of important aspects like family planning services, linkage to other reproductive health care services, and facilitating their social reinsertion and preventing future induce abortion.
