Comportamento físico de janelas em fibra de vidro
Authors: Simões N. , Vieira N. , Prata J. , Vieira A. 
Published: January 2024

A opção por janelas minimalistas é uma tendência arquitetónica que tem tido um franco crescimento no mercado nacional e internacional e que tem despertado o interesse de vários fabricantes por serem sistemas com um valor comercial apreciável, já que são tipicamente comercializadas para preencher vãos de grandes dimensões. O tipo de abertura é principalmente de correr, o que associado à grande dimensão, resulta num conjunto de desafios a ter em conta no desenvolvimento de janelas. O minimalismo é conseguido com recurso à redução da dimensão dos perfis, em particular nas vistas em alçado. A conjugação da reduzida dimensão dos perfis, a tipologia de abertura de correr e as grandes áreas condiciona o comportamento térmico, acústico, permeabilidade ao ar, estanquidade à água e resistência ao vento.
A opção por perfis não metálicos poderá beneficiar o comportamento térmico e reduzir o impacto ambiental por serem materiais com menor massa volúmica e condutibilidade térmica. No entanto, o seu desenvolvimento tem que ser cuidado de modo a não comprometer a resistência mecânica, já que uma maior deformabilidade dos perfis terá impacto direto nos níveis de permeabilidade ao ar, estanquidade à água e resistência ao vento. A fibra de vidro é um material que pode ser usado para fabricar perfis. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é apresentar a caraterização térmica e física de janelas utilizando esse material.
Baseado nos resultados dos ensaios de permeabilidade ao ar, estanquidade à água e resistência ao vento, assim como nos resultados do cálculo de transmissão térmica, foi possível identificar um conjunto de regras que podem ser usadas para garantir um desempenho satisfatório de janelas de correr minimalistas utilizando fibra de vidro para produzir os perfis. Os ensaios foram realizados no laboratório de Itecons no âmbito do projeto “Evoslide”, cuja empresa promotora líder é a FWD.
Association Between the Composite Cardiovascular Risk and mHealth Use Among Adults in the 2017-2020 Health Information National Trends Survey: Cross-Sectional Study

Published: January 2024

Background
Numerous studies have suggested that the relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and the usage of mobile health (mHealth) technology may vary depending on the total number of CVD risk factors present. However, whether higher CVD risk is associated with a greater likelihood of engaging in specific mHealth use among US adults is currently unknown.

Objective
We aim to assess the associations between the composite CVD risk and each component of mHealth use among US adults regardless of whether they have a history of CVD or not.

Methods
This study used cross-sectional data from the 2017 to 2020 Health Information National Trends Survey. The exposure was CVD risk (diabetes, hypertension, smoking, physical inactivity, and overweight or obesity). We defined low, moderate, and high CVD risk as having 0-1, 2-3, and 4-5 CVD risk factors, respectively. The outcome variables of interest were each component of mHealth use, including using mHealth to make health decisions, track health progress, share health information, and discuss health decisions with health providers. We used multivariable logistic regression models to examine the association between CVD risk and mHealth use adjusted for demographic factors.

Results
We included 10,531 adults, with a mean age of 54 (SD 16.2) years. Among the included participants, 50.2% were men, 65.4% were non-Hispanic White, 41.9% used mHealth to make health decisions, 50.8% used mHealth to track health progress toward a health-related goal, 18.3% used mHealth to share health information with health providers, and 37.7% used mHealth to discuss health decisions with health providers (all are weighted percentages). Adults with moderate CVD risk were more likely to use mHealth to share health information with health providers (adjusted odds ratio 1.49, 95% CI 1.24-1.80) and discuss health decisions with health providers (1.22, 95% CI 1.04-1.44) compared to those with low CVD risk. Similarly, having high CVD risk was associated with higher odds of using mHealth to share health information with health providers (2.61, 95% CI 1.93-3.54) and discuss health decisions with health providers (1.56, 95% CI 1.17-2.10) compared to those with low CVD risk. Upon stratifying by age and gender, we observed age and gender disparities in the relationship between CVD risk and the usage of mHealth to discuss health decisions with health providers.

Conclusions
Adults with a greater number of CVD risk factors were more likely to use mHealth to share health information with health providers and discuss health decisions with health providers. These findings suggest a promising avenue for enhancing health care communication and advancing both primary and secondary prevention efforts related to managing CVD risk factors through the effective usage of mHealth technology.
The sickle and the garlic chives: Volatility in the Chinese stock market
Authors: Dal Maso Giulia 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis essay explores the meaning that volatility assumes in the Chinese stock market context. Drawing on discussions from ‘mom and pop’ online forums, it argues investors operate in a relational position with the Chinese state regulators that both sustain and threaten their market activities. Chinese stock markets are known to be the most volatile in the world. To face the state's arbitrary intervention in the market, investors must constantly juggle the options of either leaning on and trusting the regulators’ capacity to protect and rescue their stocks or engaging in risky margin trading and short-selling activities. This contradictory behavior is reflected in the popular self-mocking meme that keeps circulating in investors online forums, the one of the jiucai (meaning ‘garlic chives’). The investors often use it with irony to describe their own tendency to throw cash into the markets again and again, hoping to regain the money they lost in previous investments, never learning a lesson. Linking the financial with the biopolitical dimension, the essay takes the jiucai meme to show the extent to which volatility points to the production of new subjects whose resilience involves the adoption of practices of speculation to conjure a future for themselves that is reborn multiple times.

La irrupción de la modalidad de enseñanza a distancia producto de la pandemia, nos invitó a redefinir anteriores temáticas de estudio especificadas para primer año, pero más profundamente nos estimuló a cuestionar la estructura misma del taller, en su rol histórico como lugar -presencial- desde donde se aprende y aproxima a la arquitectura de una manera práctica.
Como estrategia, ante este escenario, decidimos situarnos conceptual y físicamente desde el umbral, donde la imposibilidad de salir de nuestras viviendas, nos invitaba a develar y remirar el espacio habitable interior cotidiano como una oportunidad trascendental de proyecto, requirente de una mayor precisión, desde por una postura contemplativa, crítica y reflexiva frente a lo ya conocido.
Esta idea de precisar desde lo cotidiano, como un estado y acción permanente, es sin duda uno de los grandes cambios y aportes propiciados por la virtualidad, que involucró un esfuerzo individual y colectivo de conceptualizar, representar y materializar las ideas con mayor exactitud.

Authors: García Rojas Pedro , Valdés Santiago Damian 
Published: January 2024

Background: Cognitive Fusion (CF) is a psychological problem that is a fundamental concept within Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The Cognitive Fusion Scale (CFS), which is used to measure this concept, has not been adapted or validated in Cuba. Objective: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the CFA in adults with anxiety symptoms. Method: Qualitative and quantitative techniques were combined: Expert interview, correlation and concordance coefficients and factor analysis. Result: The CFQ was adapted from a linguistic and cultural perspective. Nine experts were consulted and consensus was assessed using the content validity coefficient of appropriateness (0.97). During piloting with 35 people, the test achieved a Cronbach's α coefficient (0.927). When the adapted test was applied to 106 adults with anxiety symptoms, a Cronbach's α coefficient (0.869) was achieved, demonstrating the homogeneity of the test. The exploratory factor analysis (KMO = 0.820, X2 (338) = 21, p < 0.001) showed item ambiguities of less than 0.6 and factor loadings of more than 0.3. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a good model fit (X2 (14) = 45.1, p < 0.001). A low and statistically significant correlation (Rho = 0.216, p < 0.05) was found in relation to IDARE (state). Conclusion: The adapted CFQ was valid in terms of content, showed high reliability values and its one-dimensionality was verified. The adapted instrument shows a correlation between FC and anxiety symptoms. An instrument like this could improve the diagnosis of CF, as well as increase the quality of care for the patient.

Habitual Abortion in Hansen’s Morbus
Authors: Atfi Ismi Mulya 
Published: January 2024

Based on WHO data, Indonesia is one of the countries contributing around 10,000 cases of Hansen’s morbus 2019. Hansen's morbus, or leprosy, is a chronic bacterial infection (Mycobacterium leprae) that attacks skin tissue, peripheral nerves, and the respiratory tract. Hansen's disease can occur during pregnancy and worsen during pregnancy. Pregnancy causes a relative decrease in cellular immunity. This can be explained because immunosuppression occurs during pregnancy. Pregnancy is dangerous for women with Hansen’s morbus . This case study describes a case of habitual abortion with Hansen’s morbus . The patient had a history of Hansen's morbus and had discontinued the medication. During pregnancy, the patient never underwent examination and treatment for Hansen's morbus. So, the patient experiences the habit of abortion. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out good treatment for pregnant women with Hansen's disease so that the mother and fetus receive appropriate treatment.
The observed correlation between New Zealand gym member’s perceived level of technique and rate of injury – A research survey
Authors: Williams Brogan Samuel 
Published: January 2024

Objectives:
Many in the rehabilitation and fitness community agree that technical ability, skill, or technique is of the utmost importance regarding sports performance. However, whether or not it directly impacts one’s rate of injury or ability to prevent or screen injuries is not unanimous. This study sets out to examine any correlation between a New Zealand gym member’s perception of their own lifting quality, skill, and ability and their rate of injury. The research question was, “Is there a correlation between subjective self-reported technique and the prevalence of injury?”

Material and Methods:
The sample size was n = 70. A convenience sampling method was used, and a 5-question survey was posted on social media (Instagram and Facebook) and open to all who met the inclusion criteria.

Results:
Out of 70 participants, 56 self-reported a level of technique between 6 and 10/10. Fourteen participants reported a level of technique between 1 and 5/10. Of the 56 that fell within 6–10/10, 60.8% did not experience any injuries within the gym for the previous 24 months, with an average of 7.73/10 (±4.2%) (confidence interval [CI]: 7.404–8.056). In addition, 62.5% did not experience any injuries outside of the gym for the previous 24 months. Out of the 14 participants who self-reported 5/10 or less, 100% of them reported that they experienced injuries within the previous 24 months, with an average of 4 ± 0.592 (±14.8%) (CI: 3.408–4.592). In addition, 71.4% said yes to injuring themselves outside the gym within the previous 24 months.

Conclusion:
It can be observed from this study that one’s perception of technical ability in the gym may be correlated to how often they are injured. Further research investigating this correlation is required to reach a stronger conclusion.
Assessment of volatile organic compounds in indoor and outdoor environment – A study on air quality impact assessment
Authors: Mythili K. , Gayatri S. 
Published: January 2024

Objectives:
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a type of pollutant that causes health risks and can be present in both indoor and outdoor environments. VOCs originate mainly from solvents and chemicals used at home or in offices and also from vehicle emissions. The current research work was aimed at the detection and quantification of VOCs indoor and outdoor at Sri Ramachandra Faculty of Pharmacy, Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (DU), Porur, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Material and Methods:
Air was drawn through an adsorbent tube with a pump at a steady flow rate (100 mL min-1) for an hour to gather samples using the active sampling approach. Thermal desorption in combination with a gas chromatography (GC) analyzer was used to estimate the levels of hazardous VOCs, namely benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m-xylene, p-xylene, and o-xylene (BTEX) compounds.

Results:
VOCs were analyzed using the GC-mass spectroscopy technique. The finding shows the levels of BTEX as benzene (0.05–0.11 μg/m3), toluene (0.44–1.27 μg/m3), ethylbenzene (0.012–0.03 μg/m3), m-xylene (0.009–0.027 μg/m3), p-xylene (0.007–0.025 μg/m3), and o-xylene (0.003–0.019 μg/m3) compounds.

Conclusion:
The BTEX levels were observed to be well below the maximum acceptable limit. VOC emissions can be reduced by making process changes or by installing air pollution control equipment.

Published: January 2024

Цель – изучение особенностей иммунного статуса и поведенческой активности при экспериментальном десинхронозе в условиях люминесцентного освещения. Методы. Световой десинхроноз создавали у морских свинок круглосуточным (24 ч) содержанием в условиях люминесцентного освещения. Для анализа этологического статуса использовали: тест открытое поле, водный «лабиринт» Морриса, определяли в крови содержание интерлейкина-4 (IL-4), интерферона-γ (INF-γ), концентрацию мелатонина и кортизола. Результаты. При экспериментальном десинхронозе в условиях круглосуточного люминесцентного освещения зафиксировано снижение концентрации в крови IL-4, INF-γ и мелатонина и увеличение концентрации кортизола на 10-е, 20-е и 30-е сутки. Корреляционный анализ показал, что при экспериментальном десинхронозе в условиях люминесцентного освещения появляется чувство тревоги, нарастает угнетение ориентировочно-исследовательской активности по мере снижения концентрации мелатонина и повышения уровня кортизола в периферической крови. Заключение. Изменения этологического и иммунного статуса при экспериментальном десинхронозе в условиях люминесцентного освещения прогрессируют по мере снижения концентрации мелатонина и повышения уровня кортизола в крови.
Aim. To identify changes in immune status and behavioral activity during experimental desynchronosis under conditions of fluorescent lighting. Methods. Light desynchronosis was created by exposing guinea pigs to 24 hr of fluorescent light. To analyze the ethological status, we used an open field test, a Morris water maze, and the concentrations of IL-4, IFN-γ, melatonin, and cortisol in the blood were measured. Results. During experimental desynchronosis under fluorescent light, blood IL-4, IFN-γ decreased and melatonin increased. There was an increase in the concentration of cortisol on days 10, 20 and 30. Correlation analysis revealed that in experimental desynchronosis, anxiety and depression of research activity increased as the concentration of melatonin decreased and as the concentration of blood cortisol increased. Conclusions. Changes in the ethological and immune status during experimental desynchronosis under fluorescent light progress as the concentration of melatonin decreases and the concentration of cortisol in the blood increases.
