Psicologia e o Centro de Referência de Assistência Social: uma metassíntese qualitativa
Authors: Rubim Brandolt Catheline , Arpini Dorian Mônica 
Published: December 2023

Os Centros de Referência de Assistência Social (CRASs) são unidades públicas localizadas no território mais próximo de famílias e indivíduos que se encontram em situações de vulnerabilidade e risco social decorrente da pobreza, fragilização de vínculos e/ou precário acesso a serviços públicos. Tal equipamento conta com a presença da psicologia na equipe de referência e têm sido um local bastante desafiador para a prática profissional. Assim, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever e analisar a produção no contexto da pós-graduação brasileira a respeito do trabalho da psicologia nos CRASs. Esta é uma pesquisa de revisão sistemática da literatura, do tipo metassíntese qualitativa, que buscou no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES produções no período entre 2005 a 2019 para análise. Os resultados e discussão foram organizados em três eixos: (1) Identidade profissional e o fazer-saber da psicologia no SUAS, (2) Documentos norteadores e seus (des)encontros para a prática no campo (3) Limites e desafios para a prática da psicologia. Acredita-se que a contribuição deste estudo foi justamente ter se debruçado sobre a trajetória das pesquisas nesse campo, tendo em vista que, na medida em que estudamos um fenômeno e o retratamos, podemos vê-lo de modo mais crítico e assim traçar novos rumos aos desafios que se apresentam. Compreende-se que há um caminho já percorrido, mas ainda, se faz necessário desprender-se deste discurso que se traduz mais pela falta e pelas fragilidades (isso não significa ignorá-las), fortalecendo a construção de novas práticas nos cotidianos dos CRASs.

Oblique direction reach test: evaluating psychometric properties in stroke population
Authors: Mascarenhas Rinita , Nayak Akshatha , Joshua Abraham M. , Krishnan Shyam K. , Iyer Vani Lakshmi R. , Tedla Jaya Shanker , Reddy Ravi Shankar 
Published: December 2023

Background
Post-stroke individuals are observed to have reduced limits of stability (LOS) in all directions. Functional activities are rarely performed in pure cardinal planes; instead, they are most likely to be performed in an oblique direction. Existing tools are either expensive or sophisticated to assess the LOS in an oblique direction. Therefore, this study’s primary objective is to evaluate the intra-rater, inter-rater reliability, and validity of the oblique direction reach test (ODRT) among stroke subjects.

Materials & Methods
A total of 96 first-time stroke patients with age, gender, height, and weight-matched healthy controls aged 18–80 years were recruited for the study. Oblique, forward, and lateral reach distances were assessed using the standard procedure of ODRT, Functional Reach Test (FRT), and Lateral Reach Test (LRT), respectively. Validity was tested by correlating the ODRT distance with the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) Score using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland Altman analysis were used to establish inter-rater reliability. ICCs were used to find intra-rater reliability. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to establish the mean difference of the FRT, LRT, and ODRT. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and linear regression were used to correlate the distance of FRT and LRT with ODRT.

Results
A high concurrent validity was found between BBS and ODRT with an r-value of 0.905 (p < 0.001). Inter-rater reliability was high with an ICC of 0.997 (95% CI [0.996–0.998]), and intra-rater reliability was highly significant with an ICC of 0.996 (95% CI [0.994–0.998]). The stroke subjects reached a significantly shorter distance than healthy individuals in FRT, ODRT, and LRT. ODRT was highly correlated with FRT (r = 0.985) and LRT (r = 0.978) (p < 0.001) and had an R2 = 0.987.

Conclusion
ODRT is a highly valid and reliable tool that can be used to evaluate balance in stroke patients. Individuals who reached less in the forward and lateral directions showed reduced reach distance in the oblique direction.
Phylogenetic diversity and North Andean block conservation
Authors: Leon-Alvarado Omar Daniel , Miranda-Esquivel Daniel R. 
Published: December 2023

Background
The Northern Andean Block (NAB) harbors high biodiversity; therefore, it is one of the most important areas in the Neotropics. Nevertheless, the settlement of several human populations has triggered the rapid transformation of ecosystems, leading to the extinction or endangerment of many species.

Methods
Because phylogenetic diversity indices quantify the historical distinctness between species, they are adequate tools for evaluating priority conservation areas. We reconstructed 93 phylogenies encompassing 1,252 species and, utilizing their occurrence data sourced from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, computed the Average Taxonomic Distinctness Index (AvTD) for each grid cell with a spatial resolution of 0.25° within the NAB. The index values for each grid cell were categorized into quantiles, and grid cells displaying values within the upper quantile (Q5) were identified as the most significant in terms of phylogenetic diversity. We also calculated the contribution of endemic species to overall phylogenetic diversity within the NAB, specifically focusing on areas preserved within protected areas.

Results
The NAB Andean region exhibited the highest AvTD, with high AvTD values observed in the middle and southern areas of Cordilleras. Endemic species made a relatively modest contribution to the overall phylogenetic diversity of the NAB, accounting for only 1.2% of the total. Despite their relatively small geographical footprints, protected areas within the NAB have emerged as crucial repositories of biodiversity, encompassing 40% of the total phylogenetic diversity in the region.

Discussion
Although the NAB Andean region has been identified as the most crucial area in terms of AvTD, some regions in the Amazonian Piedemonte and Pacific lowlands have high AvTD levels. Interestingly, some protected areas have been found to harbor higher AvTDs than expected, given their smaller size. Although the delimitation of new PAs and species richness have been the primary factors driving the expansion of PAs, it is also essential to consider the evolutionary information of species to conserve all aspects of biodiversity, or at least cover most of them. Therefore, using phylogenetic diversity measures and the results of this study can contribute to expanding the PA network and improving the connectivity between PAs. This approach will help conserve different aspects of biodiversity and preserve evolutionary relationships between species.

Objectives: The utilization of waste LDPE, HDPE, and PET, either in their raw or granulated forms, for manufacturing paving stones raises several challenges, including the production of weaker and less durable paving stones, increased atmospheric pollution, and material loss. This research aims to identify the most advantageous process for employing thermoplastic waste in paving stone production.
Research Design: The study is structured into five sections: introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion.
Location and Duration: The study was conducted in the city of Kinshasa, and the experiments were carried out in July 2021.
Methodology: Raw and granulated thermoplastic waste (LDPE, HDPEE and PET) were respectively mixed with fine grained sand (] 0.063 – 0.2 mm [).The mixture was heated to obtain homogeneous paste. The later was poured into molds in order to manufacture the paving stones which were tested for resistance.
Results: On average, the ratio of thermoplastic granules to raw material yielded a recycling time of 17/22 minutes, producing 13/7 pavers. The weight loss of materials was 5.29±0.98/9.95±1.89 kg, and the strength was measured at 12.3±2.19/6.4±1.61 N/mm². The optimal material composition demonstrating the highest strength at 22.45 N/mm² comprised 30% LDPE and HDPE, 10% PET, and 60% sand.
Conclusion: Comparing raw thermoplastic waste with granulated thermoplastic waste, the latter proves more beneficial. Granulated thermoplastic waste yields more consolidated pavers, reduces weight loss of materials, shortens recycling time, minimizes smoke emission, and provides a superior average strength of pavers.

Background: Nigeria has roughly 12 million citizens living with disabilities. Prevalent social stigmas often discriminate against their social, physical and psychological well-being which directly or indirectly affects their sexual life. This study aimed to assess the influence of psycho-demographic factors on the sexual life of people living with disabilities.
Methods: The study was carried out among 79 participants, 18 years old and above at the Rehabilitation Centre Moniya. The study was ex post facto research study. Purposive and snowball sampling techniques were used for the study. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21.
Results: Young subjects and male participants had higher mean scores (x=21.94) on the sexual dysfunction scale than female participants. Participants living with physical disability had higher means (x=22.21) on the sexual dysfunction scale than participants with hearing impairment. Age, gender, type of disability and religion statistically predicted sexual dysfunction among participants. Also, self-esteem and self-efficacy influence sexual dysfunction among participants living with physical disability and participants living with hearing impairment.
Conclusion: Age, gender and nature of disability influence the sexual life of people living with disabilities. Moreso, sexual dysfunction reduces with an increase in self-esteem and self-efficacy. It is therefore recommended that attention is paid to individuals living with disabilities in in order to improve the quality of the sexual aspect of their lives and their psychological wellbeing.

ImportanceBipolar II disorder (BDII) is a debilitating condition frequently associated with difficult-to-treat depressive episodes. Psilocybin has evidence for rapid-acting antidepressant effects but has not been investigated in bipolar depression.ObjectiveTo establish the safety and efficacy of psilocybin in patients with BDII in a current depressive episode.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis was a 12-week, open-label nonrandomized open-label trial conducted at Sheppard Pratt Hospital. Participants aged 18 to 65 years with BDII, a current depressive episode longer than 3 months, and documented insufficient benefit with at least 2 pharmacologic treatments during the current episode were invited to participate. Of 70 approached, 19 met inclusion criteria and were enrolled. The trial was conducted between April 14, 2021, and January 5, 2023.InterventionsA single dose of synthetic psilocybin, 25 mg, was administered. Psychotropic medications were discontinued at least 2 weeks prior to dosing. Therapists met with patients for 3 sessions during pretreatment, during the 8-hour dosing day, and for 3 integration sessions posttreatment.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome measure was change in Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating scale (MADRS) at 3 weeks posttreatment. Secondary measures included MADRS scores 12 weeks posttreatment, the self-rated Quick Inventory of Depression Symptoms-Self Rating (QIDS-SR), and the self-rated Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire-Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF), each completed at baseline and all subsequent visits. Safety measures included the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (CSSRS) and the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) completed at each visit.ResultsOf the 15 participants in this study (6 male and 9 female; mean [SD] age, 37.8 [11.6] years), all had lower scores at week 3, with a mean (SD) change of −24.00 (9.23) points on the MADRS, (Cohen d = 4.08; 95% CI, −29.11 to −18.89; P &amp;lt; .001). Repeat measures analysis of variance showed lower MADRS scores at all tested posttreatment time points, including the end point (Cohen d = 3.39; 95% CI, −33.19 to −16.95; adjusted P &amp;lt; .001). At week 3, 12 participants met the response criterion (50% decrease in MADRS), and 11 met remission criterion (MADRS score ≤10). At the study end point, 12 patients met both response and remission criteria. QIDS-SR scores and Q-LES-Q-SF scores demonstrated similar improvements. YMRS and CSSRS scores did not change significantly at posttreatment compared to baseline.Conclusions and RelevanceThe findings in this open-label nonrandomized open-label trial suggest efficacy and safety of psilocybin with psychotherapy in BDII depression and supports further study of psychedelics in this population.
Event‐triggered consensus secure control for nonlinear MASs under mixed sensor attacks and actuator faults
Authors: Chen Lexin , Li Yongming , Tong Shaocheng 
Published: December 2023

SummaryThis article investigates the adaptive neural network (NN) output‐feedback event‐triggered consensus secure control problem for a class of nonlinear multi‐agent systems (MASs) under mixed sensor attacks and actuator faults. Since the considered nonlinear MASs contain unknown nonlinear dynamics, the NNs are first adopted to model unknown agents. Then, a nove NN learning secure state observer is proposed to estimate the sensor attacks and unmeasured states. To reduce unnecessary updating times of the actuator, an event‐triggered mechanism is constructed. By using the backstepping control design technique and the design NN state observer, a NN adaptive output‐feedback event‐triggered consensus secure control scheme is formulated. It is proved that the developed consensus secure control scheme can guarantee the controlled nonlinear MASs are stable and consensus tracking errors converge even under mixed sensor attacks and actuator faults. Simulation and comparative results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Published: December 2023

AbstractThe utilization of gallium (Ga)‐based liquid metals (LMs) as functional materials in bioelectronics has been extensively explored over the past decade as a key to stimulation of biological systems and recording of biological signals. The motivation behind this class of electronics is driven by the opportunities to exploit mechanical properties similar to biological tissues. These bioelectronic devices are required to maintain functionality under deformation and, especially for implantable applications, should interface with biological tissues in a minimally invasive manner. LMs are attractive for such applications due to their ability to deform while retaining their electrical conductivity. Furthermore, unlike most liquids that form droplets to minimize surface energy, the ultrathin solid‐state oxide layer on the outer surface of LMs enables them to be shaped to specific 3D patterns. Unlike mercury, Ga‐based LMs are considered biocompatible due to their low toxicity and vapor pressure, highlighting their potential as advantageous materials for bioelectronics. This review comprehensively presents the fundamental aspects of these materials, with a focus on their effectiveness in stimulating and recording specific biological tissues, as well as their diverse applications as soft and stretchable electrodes in bioelectronics. Additionally, this review investigates additional strategies aimed at driving future advancements in this field.

AbstractStimulus‐responsive large‐scale cell culture microcarriers are promising biological materials for large‐scale cell production. Herein, multifunctional thermal and magnetic microcarriers (TMMs) made of poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), polylysines (PLLs), gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), N,N‐methylenebis(acrylamide) (MBA), Fe3O4 and SiO2 are prepared to achieve large‐scale enzyme‐free cell harvesting and also can be used as cells stereogrowth scaffold to mimic cells suspension state to develop novel application, such as recombinant proteins produced. In TMMs, NIPAM and other materials are mixed and then underwent in situ radical polymerization by UV irradition with 2‐hydroxy‐2‐methylpropiophenone as initiator, in which GelMA provides cell adhesion sites and PLLs enable a positive microenvironment with SiO2 as filler. As enzyme‐free cell microcarriers, cell harvesting from TMMs by PNIPAM are achieved at 25 °C through vortex oscillation within 15 min and TMMs can be recycled at least for four times by magnetic recovery. Moreover, TMMs can be used as stereoculture scaffold to let cells in suspension as adherent state to improve gene transfection efficiency. Combined with magnetothermal effect, TMMs can further improve gene transfer to obtain industrialization of proteins expression. Therefore, TMMs are potential for the development of cell manufacturing and the expansion of cell stereogrowth application for recombinant proteins production.

Published: December 2023

AbstractUnderwater perception of a broad range of force holds great importance in aquatic explorative activities, while flexible tactile sensors face technical challenges to realize. This paper presents a novel flexible aquatic tactile sensor based on waterproof graphene (GR)/carbon nanotube (CNT)/Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composites. The prepared GR/CNT/PDMS composites possess excellent hydrophobic and electromechanical properties with a water contact angle over 134° and an ultrahigh gauge factor of 2296, making them an ideal piezoresistive sensing material for underwater broad‐range force sensing. The proposed tactile sensor has 3 × 3 sensing units and uses dual interlocked water‐ripple structures to improve its sensitivity and force detection range. The fabricated tactile sensor is characterized by two distinct sensitivities: a high sensitivity of 0.0338 kPa−1at 0.062–150 kPa and a low sensitivity of 0.00357 kPa−1at 150–450 kPa. Further, the sensor exhibited excellent resistance response, fast dynamic recovery, and both mechanical and electrical stability in aquatic environments. Then, the aquatic tactile sensor is worn on the palm of the human hand to detect the distribution and variation of contact forces when grasping objects with different shapes and hardness, demonstrating the potential underwater applications of the developed aquatic tactile sensor for broad‐range force sensing.

AbstractThe realization of seawater electrolysis requires the development of electrode materials that can meet the requirements of high activity, high selectivity, and corrosion resistance. Herein, this work successfully prepares a molybdate (MoO42−)‐modulated nickel‐iron oxide electrode for seawater electrolysis via a quick and easy thermal shock method, with high activity and extraordinary durability in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for seawater electrolysis. The experimental analyses and theoretical calculations reveal that the in situ generated MoO42− on the surface of electrode can modulate and stabilize the catalytic active phase γ‐(Ni, Fe)OOH, improving the OER activity, as well as play a critical role in protecting electrode from chloride ions (Cl−) corrosion for extended service life. This catalyst thus displays an evidently slow degradation rate of 20 µV h−1 during a long‐term operation (>1500 h) at 100 mA cm−2. This work provides a new viewpoint for the design of oxyanion‐modified catalysts and can be widely used to address the challenges in seawater electrolysis.

Published: December 2023

AbstractElectrolyte molecule engineering, especially symmetrically fluorinated molecules, is recognized as an efficacious approach for solving the insufficient stability of conventional none‐fluorinated electrolyte molecules to stabilize the energy‐dense Li metal batteries (LMB). However, the weak solvation and low ionic conductivity of symmetrically fluorinated electrolyte molecules, and the formation of low‐ionic‐conductivity unstable interphase derived from the electrolyte, are the main challenges that limit the applications of symmetrically fluorinated electrolyte for improving LMB performance. Here, an asymmetrically‐fluorinated electrolyte molecule design principle is proposed by combining a high‐inertness fluorinated structure on one side of the molecule with a solvation‐promoting none‐fluorinated structure on the other side, successfully integrating the high stability of fluorinated electrolyte and strong solvation/ion‐conduction advantages of none‐fluorinated electrolyte while remedying their limitations at the same time. The LMB using asymmetrically‐fluorinated electrolyte exhibits significantly improved performances of 98.97% Li plating/stripping Coulombic efficiency, decent cathode protection, 240 stable cycles in Li||LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 full‐cell under ultralow anode amount, uniform Li deposition morphology and excellent fire‐retardancy that overwhelm the similar electrolyte with none‐fluorinated or symmetrically‐fluorinated molecule structure. The asymmetrically‐fluorinated electrolyte molecule design provides a new molecule‐level understanding of fluorination degree/position‐related structure‐property relationship in electrolytes and solves the fluorination‐related dilemma for achieving practical high‐performance LMB.
