Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a eficiência dos gastos públicos com HIV/AIDS no Brasil entre 2012 e 2022. Para atingir esse objetivo foi necessária a utilização da técnica não paramétrica de Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA). As variáveisutilizadas foram despesas totais com HIV/AIDS como fatores de entrada; As variáveis de desfecho foram o número de casos de AIDS. O modelo DEA, que consiste em Retornos Variáveis de Escala (BCC) com uma orientação para os resultados, é mais frequentemente utilizado na análise das despesas públicas, porque não faz sentido cortar despesas com saúde. Os resultados obtidos com a evolução das despesas mostram um aumento contínuo e crescente nos volumes utilizados, sendo 73% dos gastos apenas com medicamentos ARV. Em relação à eficiência, os resultados mostram que dos dez anos analisados, metade foi eficiente, enquanto a outra metade mostrou ineficiência na utilização de recursos públicos na luta contra o HIV/AIDS.

Abstract
This thematic issue addresses nature and society as categories of analysis in Portuguese and Spanish textbooks. It starts from the premise that the natural and social sciences both provide a valuable and relevant basis with which to understand the world. Nature is examined from a sociopolitical and environmental perspective in the context of the international new paradigms and political discourses of the 1970s and 1980s concerning environmental conservation. Despite their different but parallel political trajectories during their transitions and democratic consolidations—Spain and Portugal evolved without mutual influence—they were exposed to the same international impact. Although the complex domestic affairs and reforms in these countries were conditioned by new environmental and feminist trends and movements, the reception of these phenomena in society and politics was not reflected in the latter's textbooks.

Abstract
This article deals with visual representations of children in social and natural science primary education textbooks from Spain and Portugal during the final years of dictatorship, transition to democracy, democratic consolidation, and democracy between 1965 and 1995. It explores ways in which children are addressed and made visible in social and natural environments and what kind of relationships with these milieus are established. With reference to processes of social and political reconfiguration of the individual and society, environmental awakening, the strengthening of children's rights, and the transformation of the design, textuality, and knowledge contained in textbooks, it shows how textbooks contribute to the self-perception and identity formation of children. The results reveal an underrepresentation of those for whom the textbooks are intended, a contemplative social representation, and a shortage of natural spaces.
Building a Democratic Culture

Published: October 2024

Abstract
The time frame of this article covers the Portuguese transition to democracy in the 1970s until the 1990s, when democratic institutions operated fully. The focus lies on the way in which changes in the conceptualization of nature and society and their mutual relationship were reflected in secondary education textbooks. We explore whether and how knowledge about both domains provided in textbooks contributed toward democratic education and toward the exercise of citizenship at a time when democracy was in the making. Both natural sciences and history textbooks express environmentalist concerns and promote an ecological perspective. History textbooks frame these concerns in the social, cultural, and political contexts of the time.

The article examines the problem of investment as the most important factor in the development of the world economy, defines the leading role of investments in the effective functioning and development of the economy of any state, as well as in the activities of business entities.
It is established that in the conditions of the ongoing economic crisis and military actions, there are premature hopes for Ukrainian business lending by Western banks and companies. A new source of financing is indicated for Ukraine, which consists in attracting investments by converting Ukrainian shares into American Depository Receipts (ADRs) or Global Depository Receipts (GDRs).
The history of the development of the IT sector of Ukraine was reviewed. The statistical data of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine regarding the development of the country's IT companies and research were analyzed of the state of the Ukrainian IT industry according to the results of 2021, provided in the annual report of the "IT Ukraine" Association.
The activity of domestic IT companies, which are in a state of active development, was considered. It was established that Ukrainian associations in the IT industry would support the formation of the domestic IT industry and the promotion of IT products to world markets: IT Ukraine, American Chamber of Commerce (ACC), European Business Association (EBA), Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs (SUP), Ukrainian Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (UVCA).
The activity of IT companies during the full-scale war unleashed by Russia was reviewed. It was established that the IT sector suffered the least losses from the war and retained 95% of the volume of orders, successfully adapting to incredibly difficult conditions.
Restraining factors that stand in the way of even more rapid development of the industry have been identified: insufficient number of IT specialists; problems with tax legislation and protection of intellectual property; business security.
The article identifies the factors that make the Ukrainian IT industry attractive to foreign investors. Prospective areas for investment in the Ukrainian IT industry that may interest foreign investors are singled out.

EFFECT OF RADIATION PRESSURE ON DYNAMICAL STRUCTURES IN THE CIRCULAR ROBE’S R3BP WITH VARIABLE MASSES
Authors: Leke Oni , Clement Masankari 
Published: October 2024

The paper investigates effect of radiation pressure on dynamical structures in the Robe’s restricted three-body problem (R3BP) with variable masses. The non-autonomous equations of the dynamical system are obtained and transformed to the autonomized equations with constant coefficients under the condition that there is no fluid inside the first primary. Next, the equilibrium points (EPs) of the autonomized system are explored and the stability is investigated analytically and numerically. It is observed that the axial and non-collinear EPs can be stable and unstable depending on the values of the mass parameter, radiation pressure of the second primary and the mass variation parameter. In the case of the axial equilibrium point (EP), the radiation pressure reduces the region of stable motion while the mass variation parameter can have both stabilizing and destabilizing effects. The stability of the EPs of the non-autonomous equations is analyzed and it is seen that the solutions do not converge, and are unstable EPs. Finally, the ZVCs around the EPs are explored and it is seen that, the radiation pressure of the second primary decreases the region where motion of the satellite around the axial EP, is allowed, while the mass parameter and the parameterdecreases or increases the region where motion of the satellite around the axial EP is allowed, as they are increased or decreased, respectively. In the case of the non-collinear points, the radiation of the second primary increases the region where motion of the satellite is allowed, while an increase in the mass parameter...
Performance Evaluation of Wet Paving Concrete Incorporating Ternary Blends of Alluvial Tuff and Limestone Aggregates Using Simplex Centroid Mixture Method
Authors: Siamardi Kianoush , Afshar Masume , Shabani Shahin 
Published: October 2024

Incorporating the blends of aggregates from local quarries is inevitable for sustainable construction of concrete structures. In the present study, the performance of wet paving concrete (WPC) made with ternary blends of alluvial tuff (AF.Agg) and crushed limestone aggregates (LSLQ and LSHQ) were investigated using the simplex centroid mixture method (SCMM). The performance of WPC including the compressive strength (fc), fracture energy (GC) in compression, durability factor (Df) after 300 freeze-thaw (FT) cycles in water, and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) were measured according to the standard test procedures. A novel procedure was developed to measure the weight loss (WL) and water absorption (WA) of sawn cut prisms (SCPs) under the harsh exposure condition including 50 continuous salt-FT cycles with the high temperature gradient (−24 to +24 °C). The procedure was more destructive after a shorter exposure time. Non-linear correlations established between GC & WA with WL indicating the pivotal role of interfacial bond in the long-term durability of WPC. The direct relation between WL and WA confirmed the porosity evolution of concrete matrix under the harsh exposure. The meaningful correlations were found between CTE and the other responses implying that an increase in CTE due to the presence of altered siliceous-based minerals within the aggregates have led to the weak interfacial bond of aggregate-paste under mechanical loads and eventually the earlier pop-out of particles under the harsh exposure. The empirical models were developed with the significant predictability to estimate the optimal blending ratio without compromising the concrete performance.

Species and genetic diversity of nontuberculous mycobacteria in suspected tuberculosis cases in East Azerbaijan, Iran: a cross-sectional analysis
Authors: Roshdi Maleki Mehdi 
Published: October 2024

IntroductionThe incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections has increased worldwide, attracting attention in routine diagnostic settings, particularly among patients with suspected tuberculosis. This study aimed to acquire knowledge of NTM infections in patients with suspected tuberculosis and to evaluate the genetic diversity of the strains.MethodsIn this study, 230 clinical specimens were collected from suspected tuberculosis patients. Following decontamination with N-Acetyl-L-cysteine–sodium hydroxide (NALC-NaOH), the sediments of specimens were inoculated onto Löwenstein–Jensen medium and then incubated at 37°C for 8 weeks. The samples that yielded positive cultures were evaluated through the sequencing of conserved fragments of IS6110 and hsp65. For those samples that were not identified as part of the M. tuberculosis complex (MTC) by IS6110 PCR, further analysis was conducted via PCR to detect fragments of the hsp65 gene.ResultsTwenty-one NTM species were isolated from 230 clinical specimens (14 NTM from pulmonary specimens and 7 from extrapulmonary specimens). Among these, 12 (57.14%) were rapid-growing mycobacteria (RGM), and 9 (42.85%) were slow-growing mycobacteria (SGM). No M. avium complex (MAC) was identified in any of the specimens. Notably, the M. kansasii, M. gordonae, and M. abscessus strains presented significant genetic diversity.ConclusionsThe prevalence of infections attributed to nontuberculous species surpasses that attributed to tuberculosis. These findings underscore the importance of exploring NTM species in individuals suspected of having TB.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Peplau's interpersonal relationship theory (PIRT) combined with case management (CM) on exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR), self-efficacy of rehabilitation and risk factors in patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).MethodsThe convenience sampling method was used to select patients who were admitted to the Department of Cardiology in our hospital from January to October 2022 and received PCI for the first time. Patients were divided into a control group and an intervention group. The control group was given routine treatment and health guidance, including radial artery puncture site care, monitoring of vital signs, informing about medication and dietary precautions, etc. and the intervention group was given PIRT combined with CM. The study was conducted for 3 months. The effect of intervention in the two groups was evaluated by the coronary heart disease risk factor index, EBCR knowledge-attitude-behavior questionnaire and EBCR self-efficacy scale.ResultsThe rate of risk factors control including blood pressure (p &lt; 0.001), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.012), smoking cessation (p = 0.031) and exercises (p = 0.021), the scores of EBCR knowledge (p &lt; 0.001), attitude (p = 0.001) and behavior (p &lt; 0.001), and the score of EBCR self-efficacy scale (p &lt; 0.001) in the intervention group were better than those in the control group at 3 months after intervention.ConclusionPeplau's interpersonal relationship theory combined with appropriate case management can effectively control cardiovascular disease in patients after primary PCI.
Antibiofilm efficacy of plant extracts as root canal irrigants in endodontics: a systematic literature review
Authors: Diouchi Jihad , Touré Babacar , Ghoul Sonia 
Published: October 2024

BackgroundTo explore the antibiofilm efficacy of plant extracts against in vitro formed single and multispecies endodontic biofilms, in comparison to conventional root canal irrigants.MethodsPubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and EMBASE were searched up to April 2024. Studies investigating the antibiofilm efficacy, of at least one plant extract and one conventional root canal irrigant, against endodontic biofilms were reviewed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement guidelines. Data were extracted, and studies were critically assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist.ResultsAmong 78 articles, eight articles met the criteria and were eventually included in this review. One study showed a high risk of bias, six showed a moderate risk of bias, and one showed a low risk. A total of twelve plant extracts were tested for their antibiofilm efficacy against eight different single-species biofilms and one multispecies biofilm. A combination of microscopy methods and culturing techniques was used for the assessment of their efficacies. Plant extracts exhibited either a biofilm disruption and/or inhibition of biofilm formation. Psidium cattleianum extract and Psidium guajava exhibited enhanced efficacy compared to Chlorhexidine and NaOCl, respectively. Allium sativum demonstrated comparable efficacy to NaOCl. Furthermore, the combination of Cymbopogon martinii essential oil and NaOCl was found to be more effective than either alone when tested on a multispecies biofilm. However, the other plant extracts, such as Mikania Sprengel, Salvadora persica, Camellia sinensis, and Vitis vinifera showed efficacy but were still inferior compared to the control group.ConclusionsOverall, the tested plant extracts demonstrated promising potential for combating in vitro endodontic biofilms. In that context, integrating conventional therapy protocols with plant-inspired treatments may allow effective endodontic biofilm eradication. Hence, future research should focus on optimizing the synergistic combinations of these extracts with NaOCl to maximize the therapeutic outcomes. Heterogeneity amongst the studies prevented a meta-analysis.
