Published: January 2024

Context:
Exposure to bio-aerosols in a variety of environments has been of great interest due to the health effects on humans. Hospitals can be the reservoir of these biological agents because of the presence of infectious patients; which can lead to hospital infections and various occupational hazards. In this way, we assessed bacterial contamination in two teaching hospitals in Tehran.

Aims:
Our purpose in this study assessment of bacterial pathogens and their antibiotic resistance in the air of different wards of selected teaching hospitals in Tehran.

Settings and Design:
In this study, sampling was done according to NIOSH 0800.

Methods and Material:
This descriptive study was carried out in the different sections of two hospitals in Tehran. A total of 180 air samples were evaluated according to NIOSH 0800. In each section sampling was performed on the culture media in three stations including primary room, end room, and nursing position then the number of colonies counted. The zone of inhibition was measured in antibiotic disks to determine antibiotic resistance of samples.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 21. Initially, the data were normalized using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. The difference between the two hospitals was achieved with Mann–Whitney U test for un-normal distribution data.

Results:
Bacterial contamination in hospital 2 was significantly higher than the hospital 1(P < 0.001). The median number of colonies in hospital 1 was 129.87 (87.46–268.97) CFU/m3 and 297.97 (217.66–431.85) CFU/m3 for hospital 2. Bacterial contamination in the all of stations in hospital 2 and 87% of samples in hospital 1 was higher than the acceptable range of ACGIH (75 CFU/m3).

Conclusions:
High bacterial contamination may be related to a lack of hygiene management and poor ventilation system. It seems effective infection control processes, appropriate ventilation systems and supervision systems should be improved.

Published: January 2024

Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) among the frontline health care workers (HCWs). Even though PPE helps in preventing infection, it poses significant physical and psychological impacts at varying levels. Correspondingly, multiple independent studies have brought out the PPE-associated problems. However, there exists a lacuna on comprehensive information of global prevalence related to the same.

Aim:
To estimate the prevalence and risk factors of PPE among HCWs during COVID-19 across the globe.

Design:
Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Method:
The review was undertaken as per the protocol registered in PROSPERO CRD42021272216 following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis(PRISMA) guidelines. Two independent reviewers have undertaken the search strategy, study selection, and methodological quality assessment. Discrepancies were addressed by the third reviewer. Heterogeneity was addressed through I2 statistics and forest plots generated by open meta-software.

Results:
A total of 16 articles conducted across 6 different countries among 10,182 HCWs were included in the review. The pooled prevalence of skin lesions, headache, sweating, breathing difficulty, vision difficulty, thirst/dry mouth, fatigue, and communication difficulty, anxiety, fear were 57 (47–66%), 51 (37–64%), 75 (56–90%), 44 (23–68%), 61 (21–94%), 54 (30–77%), 67 (58–76%), 74 (47–94%), 28 (24–33%), 14 (10–17%), respectively. Moreover, the various risk factors included are the use of PPE for >6 h and young females. In addition, the medical management of new-onset problems created an additional burden on the frontline health care personnel (HCP).

Conclusion:
The frontline HCWs encountered physical and psychological problems at varying levels as a result of wearing PPE which needs to be addressed to prevent the inadequate use of PPE leading to infections.

Authors: Garcia Lucia Fernanda Alves , Correia Mauro Vicentini 
Published: January 2024

Na madeira estão presentes inúmeras substâncias sintetizadas pela árvore como defensivos à estímulos ambientais. Tais substâncias podem ser fonte potencial de princípios ativos, incluindo os de ação larvicida contra o mosquito Aedes aegypti. A partir de revisão de literatura, foram encontrados 23 trabalhos científicos sobre a atividade larvicida de compostos presentes na madeira. Os estudos contemplaram a análise de 66 espécies vegetais pertencentes a 23 famílias botânicas. Cerca de 30% das espécies estudadas foram consideradas ativas. A espécie que apresentou o material bruto mais ativo foi Callitris glaucophylla, cujo óleo essencial apresentou CL50 = 0,69 ppm. Foram identificadas 23 moléculas potencialmente ativas, sendo o melhor resultado obtido pela tectoquinona isolada do extrato metanólico de Cryptomeria japonica, com CL50 = 3,3 ppm. Observou-se que a madeira pode ser fonte de larvicidas naturais com ação similar ao larvicida sintético organofosforado temefós, cujo valor de CL50 encontrado na literatura variou entre 2,3 a 9,4 ppm. Dentre as vantagens do uso de larvicidas de origem natural, destaca-se a maior biodegradabilidade e a menor toxicidade aos organismos não alvos quando comparados aos sintéticos, além da contribuição para o enfrentamento do problema da resistência dos insetos.

Strategic management is understood as more than just creating and implementing strategic planning, but in a broader scope it is a continuous process that includes all activities undertaken to make plans, actions, and policies to achieve company goals or mission. There are three kinds of analysis needed to prepare strategic management for manufacturing companies, namely internal environmental analysis, external environmental analysis and strategic choice analysis. Analysis of the company's internal and external environment using the SWOT method (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) is needed to obtain useful strategic choices in the future, build strengths, reduce weaknesses, expand opportunities and ward off threats. There are several things that are influential in strengthening the strategic management of a company, namely: the importance of customers, continuous improvement, performance measurement, cultural transformation, and company management involvement. In this article, apart from discussing various concepts in performance measurement in manufacturing companies, the discussion will also focus on how the performance measurement of manufacturing companies can strengthen strategic management, especially in terms of the TQM approach.

Purpose: This study examines the Mediating effect of Institutional Policy Implementation on Uganda’s Mineral Resource Management.
Materials and Methods: The study uses a cross-sectional design suggested by Bell et al., (2018) to examine Mediating effect of Institutional Policy Implementation on Uganda’s Mineral Resource Management. This design involves data collection at a single point in time to identify patterns between variables. The study population consisted of 39 institutions that are involved in the management of mineral resources in Uganda (Ministry of energy and mineral development, 2022). The study targeted a sample size of 34 institutions, determined using the sample determination table developed by Krejcie and Morgan (1970).
Findings: The results in this study indicate that Managerial Competence has a direct and significant impact on Uganda’s Mineral Resource Management. This means that competent managers are better equipped to make informed decisions, efficiently allocate resources, and implement best practices in the mining sector. The study also reveals that the relationship between Managerial Competence and Mineral Resource Management outcomes is not entirely independent of external factors.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Institutional Theory, developed by Meyer and Rowan in 1977, provides a theoretical framework to understand how institutions and organizational structures influence behavior and decision-making within organizations and it helped to introduced Institutional policy implementation which acted as a mediator in this relationship, meaning that the effectiveness of policies set by relevant institutions can influence how managerial competence translates into actual outcomes in Uganda’s mining industry. The policy implication in this study is that Uganda’s policy makers should prioritize strengthening institutional capacity utilization through targeted training programs and capacity-building initiatives as this would promote the achievement of sustainable and responsible Mineral Resource Management in the country.

ABSTRACT
The high number of cases of death due to cervical cancer in Indonesia is exacerbated by the arrival of sufferers to health services at an advanced stage of > 70%. Efforts can be made to reduce risk factors for cervical cancer through primary prevention efforts. The aim of community service is to increase teenagers' knowledge and attitudes about cervical cancer, with educational methods through audiovisual media. The level of knowledge before education was mostly sufficient 72 people (72%) and the attitude category was sufficient 70 (70%). After education there was a good increase in knowledge from 28 (26%) to 91 people (91.0%), while attitudes also existed an increase from 5 people with good attitudes to 87 people (87%). The Wilcoxon test results obtained a significant value (p) of 0.000, it can be concluded that cervical cancer prevention education is effective through audio-visual for young women. .It is hoped that health workers will increase educational activities using audio-visual methods about cervical cancer. The public, especially young women, are expected to seek information from print and electronic media about cervical cancer.

Published: January 2024

Neurosarcoidosis is a complex and multifaceted inflammatory disorder affecting the nervous system. The disease, characterized by non-caseating granulomas, primarily involves the central and peripheral nervous systems. Neuro­logical manifestations vary widely and can include cranial nerve palsies, meningeal involvement, parenchymal lesions, hydrocephalus, and more. Diagnosis remains challenging due to the lack of specific imaging features, necessitating a combination of clinical evaluation, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, imaging studies, and sometimes tissue biopsy. This review article underscores the importance of the identification of various imaging features to mitigate the mortality and morbidity associated with neurosarcoidosis.

A lesão por pressão (LP) é considerada um problema de saúde pública. Trata-se de
uma ferida crônica por ser de longa duração e com reincidência frequente e de cicatrização difícil. Causa considerável desconforto e dor ao paciente, influenciando no aumento de dias de permanência no hospital, dificultando o retorno ao convívio familiar. Apesar dos avanços nos cuidados em saúde nos últimos anos, a LP continua sendo um importante causa de morbidade e mortalidade, constituindo grande impacto na qualidade de vida do paciente e de seus familiares, gerando um problema social, econômico e de saúde pública. Atuar na prevenção da LP faz parte das metas de Segurança do paciente e quando tais metas são bem implementadas diminuem-se os custos diretos e indiretos, a permanência do cliente em ambiente hospitalar e consequentemente o risco de infecções secundárias que pode resultar em morte por septicemia. A enfermagem é responsável pelo cuidado direto com o paciente e pelo gerenciamento da assistência, cabendo a esta equipe a maior parcela do cuidado. O enfermeiro exerce papel importante nestas ocasiões por ser um profissional que tem condições de avaliar o cuidado diariamente atentando-se aos riscos e as Necessidades Humanas Básicas (NHB), sem deixar de lado os princípios técnicos científicos para o planejamento dos cuidados que atendam estes quesitos, por valores éticos indispensáveis a prática profissional.
INIQUIDADES SOCIAIS E O CONTÁGIO POR SÍFILIS E HIV: UM DESAFIO PARA A SAÚDE PÚBLICA BRASILEIRA

Published: January 2024

A Sífilis é uma infeção sexualmente transmissível (IST) cujo agente etiológico é a bactéria Treponema pallidum, enquanto o HIV (Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana) também é considerado uma IST e se apresenta como um risco para a Sífilis, ambas são consideradas um obstáculo persistente na saúde pública brasileira, não só pela infecção em si, mas também por estarem associadas às iniquidades sociais no Brasil. Assim, o estudo consiste em uma revisão integrativa da literatura e tem como objetivo analisar a influência das iniquidades sociais na Sífilis e na infecção pelo HIV. Para isso, foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico de artigos publicados no intervalo de tempo de 2018 a 2022, escritos em português, inglês e espanhol. Para a construção da revisão, tendo como referência os Descritores em Ciência da Saúde - DeCS, os termos utilizados para a busca de artigos foram: "Humanos AND transmissão de doença infecciosa AND DST", que gerou 110 escritos, os quais foram encontrados nas bases de dados: Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud (IBECS), Literatura Latino Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Nesse contexto, observa-se que as IST supracitadas exercem significativa influência nas iniquidades sociais, uma vez que fatores como baixa escolaridade, baixo nível socioeconômico e moradia inadequada foram identificados como aspectos que aumentam a suscetibilidade dos indivíduos às doenças, além do frágil conhecimento social sobre a prevenção das mesmas, que são infecções evitáveis, porém, persistentes no cenário brasileiro.

Published: January 2024

A intoxicação medicamentosa tem sido um grande problema de saúde pública, motivo pelo qual há muitos gastos e em diversos casos há também internamentos. Por causa do uso de medicamentos sem a orientação. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as intoxicações por medicamentos e o que ele gera de impactos à saúde pública, descrevendo as tendências observadas sobre os problemas desses impactos à saúde humana. Para o desenvolvimento da presente pesquisa foram realizadas buscas e pesquisas com os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): Intoxicação Por Medicamentos, Medicamentos sem Prescrição e Automedicação foram utilizadas bases virtuais nos seguintes bancos de dados Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Scielo, LILACS e Web Of Science e a presente pesquisa corresponde a uma investigação bibliográfica do tipo revisão integrativa de literatura. A maioria dos casos de internações ocorreram devido à falta de profissionais de saúde em diversas regiões e a falta de orientações de especialistas em saúde habilitados em fazer recomendações necessárias quanto a posologia, efeitos colaterais, uso adequado e adesão terapêutica correta sem automedicação. Acredita-se que a implantação de postos de orientação com profissionais habilitados, exempli gratia, farmacêuticos, enfermeiros e médicos poderá positivar os cuidados preventivos na saúde da sociedade, resultando na melhoria para a saúde pública e tornando-se interesse coletivo.

Este relato de experiência apresenta os resultados de um levantamento do perfil sociodemográfico de manipuladores de alimentos de supermercados e destaca a efetividade sobre o aprendizado nas capacitações em Boas Práticas de Higiene (BPH) para esse público. A pesquisa envolveu a aplicação de pré e pós-testes para avaliar o conhecimento de 33 manipuladores antes e depois da capacitação. Observou-se que 42,4% (n=14) dos manipuladores tinham 40 anos ou mais e 39,4% (n=13) possuíam ensino médio completo. Além disso, 48,5% (n=16) dos participantes nunca haviam realizado um curso em BPH. Os resultados dos testes revelaram um aumento significativo nas médias de respostas corretas nas questões de múltipla escolha após a capacitação, com uma melhora de 18,0% na média de acertos. Antes da capacitação, 54,5% (n=18) dos manipuladores possuíam conhecimento considerado adequado, enquanto 27,3% (n=9) e 18,2% (n=6) foram classificados como nível regular e deficiente, respectivamente. Após a capacitação, esses números melhoraram para 75,7% (n=25; adequado), 18,2% (n=6; regular) e 6,1% (n=2; deficiente). Para garantir a produção e oferta de alimentos seguros, é essencial implementar programas contínuos e eficazes de treinamento, informação e conscientização. Isso ressalta a importância das capacitações periódicas para os profissionais, a fim de consolidar o conhecimento adquirido e aplicá-lo em suas atividades diárias de trabalho.

Abstract. This paper describes the rationale and the protocol of the first component of the third simulation round of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP3a, http://www.isimip.org, last access: 2 November 2023) and the associated set of climate-related and direct human forcing data (CRF and DHF, respectively). The observation-based climate-related forcings for the first time include high-resolution observational climate forcings derived by orographic downscaling, monthly to hourly coastal water levels, and wind fields associated with historical tropical cyclones. The DHFs include land use patterns, population densities, information about water and agricultural management, and fishing intensities. The ISIMIP3a impact model simulations driven by these observation-based climate-related and direct human forcings are designed to test to what degree the impact models can explain observed changes in natural and human systems. In a second set of ISIMIP3a experiments the participating impact models are forced by the same DHFs but a counterfactual set of atmospheric forcings and coastal water levels where observed trends have been removed. These experiments are designed to allow for the attribution of observed changes in natural, human, and managed systems to climate change, rising CH4 and CO2 concentrations, and sea level rise according to the definition of the Working Group II contribution to the IPCC AR6.
