Authors: ALVES ROBERTO MARTINS , ALVES ANTONIO JOSÉ 
Published: November 2024

A prevenção e o tratamento da osteoporose podem ser feitos através da suplementação de cálcio, com ou sem vitamina D. T. mactroides é um marisco que pertence à família Veneridae, sendo comumente explorada para alimentação humana ou comercialização das conchas para artesanato. Objetivos: determinar a concentração de carbonato de cálcio nos pós das conchas do marisco Tivela mactroides. Preparação de cápsulas de gelatina dura. Metodologia: foram pescados mariscos T. mactroides, na superfície ou enterrados em substrato arenoso-lamoso das águas rasas da praia do Pilar, no período de setembro de 2022 a março de 2024, na latitude: S 7°44’41’’ e longitude: W 34°49’23(37) na Ilha de Itamaracá, litoral norte de Pernambuco/Brasil. As medidas foram realizadas em paquímetro digital eletrônico. As conchas foram lavadas, higienizadas em imersão em hipoclorito de sódio a 2,5% por 24h, lavadas, secadas em estufa a temperatura de 70 oC por 8h, pulverizadas em moinho de disco marca Raiar e tamisada em tamis granulométrica em aço Inox de 100 mesh (0,149 mm). As análises foram realizadas pelo método de titulação complexométrica com o sal dissódico do ácido etilenodiaminotetracético (Na2EDTA). O enchimento das cápsulas de gelatina dura de tamanhos 00 e 1 foi realizado por máquina encapsuladora manual de policloreto de polivinila (PVC). Resultados: As conchas se apresentaram na forma de valvas triangulares equilaterais, com bordas lisas de coloração creme e com padrões de linhas marrons. Apresentaram comprimento médio ± DP de 28,21 ± 1,79 mm, largura de 30,26 ± 1,77 mm e altura de 20,78 ± 1,36 mm. O comprimento máximo encontrado foi de 32,7 mm (n = 86). As concentrações de carbonato de cálcio do pó das conchas e do produto acabado contendo 1% de estearato de magnésio foram 98,81% e 98,28%, respectivamente. O pó foi envasado em cápsulas de gelatina dura e foram obtidos os seguintes pesos líquidos médios em mg ± DP (tamanhos das cápsulas): 1.133 ± 27,26 mg (00); 628 ± 11,11 mg (1), a variação do peso médio apresentou um CV de 2,41%. A concentração do produto acabado e a variação do peso médio se encontram dentro das especificações do produto, de 90% a 110% e de ± 7,5%, respectivamente (FB 5 ed.). Conclusões: esses resultados permitem afirmar que o produto desenvolvido apresentou uma qualidade satisfatória e poderá ser utilizado para prevenção e tratamento da osteoporose. Vai contribuir para o maior acesso da população a uma fonte de cálcio oriunda da biodiversidade litorânea do nordeste brasileiro, gerando uma cadeia de fonte de renda que inclui desde as catadoras de marisco (marisqueiras) até a indústria farmacêutica. Este é, até onde sabemos, o primeiro relato da produção de cápsulas de gelatina dura empregando pó das conchas do marisco T. mactroides. Se constituindo, portanto, numa fonte inesgotável de alimento e de carbonato de cálcio “verde”.

O tratamento cirúrgico das varizes dos membros inferiores (MMII) é comum e necessita de curativos para a cobertura da ferida operatória (FO). Atualmente o produto mais utilizado é o Micropore® (fita adesiva cirúrgica microporosa), que normalmente é de difícil remoção e causa comumente prurido e dermatite. O POLYCELL®, membrana obtida a partir da cana-de-açúcar, é uma nova opção ao tratamento de feridas de pele, com resultados terapêuticos promissores, por apresentar características inovadoras frente aos produtos existentes no mercado, por exemplo, exige um reduzido número de trocas e atua como condutor do crescimento celular, já tendo sido usado com sucesso em vários estudos clínicos em humanos. Objetivo: Avaliar a ação do POLYCELL® filme como curativo da FO após a cirurgia para o tratamento das varizes dos MMII. Metodologia: Ensaio clínico randomizado simples. A amostra foi constituída de pacientes submetidos ao tratamento cirúrgico de varizes dos membros inferiores (MMII) no Serviço de Cirurgia Vascular do HC/EBSERH-UFPE, distribuídos em grupo controle (GC), que recebeu o tratamento apenas com o curativo de Micropore® e o grupo de estudo (GE) que recebeu o curativo POLYCELL®. O procedimento seguiu a seguinte ordem: os curativos, no GC e GE, foram aplicados na sala operatória e os pacientes foram avaliados, clinicamente, cinco dias após a cirurgia em acordo com a Southampton Wound Assessment Scale. Cada paciente pôde produzir até oito áreas de análise (n=8) sendo elas: Coxa anterior (CA), coxa posterior (CP), perna anterior (PA) e perna posterior (PP). Resultados: Foram avaliados 49 pacientes (25 no GE e 24 no GC) e 319 áreas dos MMII, que receberam curativos do Polycell® (n=160) e Micropore® (n=159), no quinto dia de pós-operatório. As feridas em ambos os grupos não apresentaram dermatite ou infecção na retirada do curativo. Prurido e dor apresentaram-se em 49% e 18% do GE e 58% e 64% do GC, respectivamente. Conclusão: O Polycell® foi eficaz como eficaz como curativo na cirurgia das varizes dos membros inferiores, quando comparado ao Micropore®, tendo apresentado menor prurido e dor durante a sua remoção no quinto dia de pós-operatório.

Published: November 2024

The usage of Learning Management Systems (LMS) has increased since the Covid-19 pandemic. LMS have drawbacks despite the advantages they provide. To fully support the advantages they provide, students must be motivated and involved. Adding gamification to the LMS is one way to potentially solve this issue. The MDA framework and Octalysis are combined in this research's gamification approach. The application, named Avia Saga, was designed and built using Flutter and Spring Boot as a mobile application. A trial of the application was conducted with 38 students majoring in Informatics. The evaluation of the application was done using the Hedonic-Motivation System Adoption Model (HMSAM) with a Likert scale. The research results revealed a 7% increase in the behavioral intention to use category, suggesting a greater inclination for reusing the application, and an 11.7% increase in the immersion category, indicating elevated sentiments of users being carried away by the ambiance while using the application.

Published: November 2024

Conferences, in the most general sense, are needed for knowledge exchange, networking, professional development, staying updated, testing your research and receiving feedback from peers, as well as inspiration. Of course, all of this is relevant for conferences in the field of energy research as well. In addition, a conference is a platform for dialogue for various participants of the energy markets, and it is extremely important to preserve dialogue when all channels of communication between Russia and the West are being cut off. We usually imagine a conference as a flow of speakers and topics, but behind every conference there is an idea, a history and people. Today, we will discuss the idea, history and people behind the “Energetika XXI” conference with its organiser and founder Dmitry Vasilenko. Dmitry is the Vice-Rector at the Saint Petersburg State University of Economics (UNECON). The interview was held by Irina Mironova.
Конференции в самом общем смысле нужны для того, чтобы обмениваться знаниями, расширять сеть знакомств, развиваться профессионально, вдохновляться. Конференции, в том числе и конференции в сфере энергетических исследований, помогают нам оставаться в курсе событий, тестировать результаты своих исследований и получать обратную связь от коллег. Кроме того, конференция – это площадка для диалога между участниками энергетических рынков. Сегодня, когда все каналы коммуникации между Россией и Западом практически перекрыты, крайне важно сохранять оставшиеся возможности для диалога. Конференция «Энергетика XXI» – пример такой возможности. Обычно мы представляем себе конференцию как некий набор спикеров и тем, но важно помнить, что за каждой конференцией стоят люди, идеи и история. Вот об этом мы и поговорили с организатором и основателем «Энергетики» Дмитрием Василенко, проректором Санкт-Петербургского государственного экономического университета. Интервью провела Ирина Миронова.
On the Path to COP29: Issues with Critical Energy Transition Minerals
Authors: L. Yaroshenko 
Published: November 2024

Delivering the decarbonisation needed for the Paris Agreement depends not only on easy access to technologies but also on the availability of the necessary resources for a green transition. At COP28, UN Secretary-General António Guterres underlined that “the extraction of critical minerals for the clean energy revolution – from wind farms to solar panels and battery manufacturing – must be done in a sustainable, fair and just way.” The UN Chief proposed the Panel on Critical Energy Transition Minerals for the first time in the history of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to discuss and set up common and voluntary guiding principles for extractive industries. This viewpoint examines how the theme – “global guidance to manage the critical resources for energy in a sustainable, fair and just way” – will evolve under the auspices of COP29 Presidency. What are the positions of the industrialised countries on ensuring a sustainable supply of critical minerals for the low-carbon energy transition ahead of COP29? Why and to what degree might those positions be different from developing countries and where do they coincide? How might those differences and commonalities influence the outcomes of COP29?
Обеспечение декарбонизации, необходимой для реализации Парижского соглашения, зависит не только от доступа к технологиям, но и от наличия необходимых ресурсов для перехода к «зелёной» экономике. На COP28 Генеральный секретарь ООН Антониу Гутерриш подчеркнул, что «добыча критически важных минералов для революции в области чистой энергии — для ветряных электростанций, солнечных панелей и аккумуляторов — должна осуществляться устойчивым и справедливым образом». Глава ООН впервые в истории Конференции сторон (COP) Рамочной конвенции Организации Объединенных Наций об изменении климата предложил создание Группы экспертов по критически важным для энергетического перехода минералам с целью обсуждения и разработки универсальных и добровольных руководящих принципов для добывающих отраслей. В настоящей статье рассматривается, как данная тема – «глобальное руководство по управлению критически важными ресурсами для энергетики устойчивым и справедливым образом» – будет развиваться под эгидой COP29. Каковы позиции промышленно развитых стран по обеспечению устойчивых поставок критически важных минералов для перехода к низкоуглеродной энергетике в преддверии COP29? Почему и в какой степени эти позиции могут отличаться от позиций развивающихся стран и где они совпадают? Как эти различия и сходства могут повлиять на результаты COP29?

Published: November 2024

Background: Many facets of a patient's life are affected by hypertension. Also, attitudes, values, and experiences, as well as patients' social and cultural circumstances, all play an essential role in the treatment of hypertension. The study's primary objective was to explore hypertensive women's perceptions of their illnesses.Methods: The study was conducted using a qualitative phenomenological research approach from March 2021 to August 2021. A total of twelve hypertensive women were purposefully selected from the medical OPD of Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital and Research Centre (GMCTHRC). The necessary data were gathered using a semi-structured interview guide. In addition, the thematic analysis method was used to analyze the transcribed material. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) checklist was used when drafting this paper.Results: Four major themes were generated; i) Perceptions towards hypertension, ii) Diagnosis, treatment, and management of hypertension, iii) Adherence to medications, and iv) Experiences with health care and recommendations. The majority of hypertensive women considered hypertension to be a treatable non-communicable illness. Family members greatly aided drug adherence. There were, however, certain financial hurdles to medication compliance. For half of the patients, the healthcare systems were unsatisfactory.Conclusions: The findings suggest that hypertensive women's non-adherence to medication is a common occurrence that reflects a conscious decision based on her knowledge and views of the medical illness and its treatment. The way women think about hypertension needs to alter. There were knowledge gaps discovered, emphasizing the need for more patient education.Keywords: Experiences; hypertension; perceptions; women.

Published: November 2024

Fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes is a unique variant of diabetes mellitus and also known as type 3c diabetes mellitus. It is related to the patient who is young, non-alcoholic and belonging predominantly from the tropical region. It is a severe form of diabetes which can also be linked to the fact that it predisposes to malignancy.1 Among the variants of diabetes that we commonly encounter, fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes has been rarely diagnosed in the developing countries. With the advancement of diagnostic capacity, it can be identified clinically and managed efficiently. It should be considered in patients with typical features of diabetes, abdominal pain, and pancreatic calculi. There is limited reporting of this case in Nepal because of misdiagnosis, so we are reporting a 40 years male who presented with recurrent episodes of abdominal pain with mucus mixed stool for the last 28 years and was diagnosed as fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes.Keywords: Blood glucose; eastern Nepal; fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes; pancreas.
