FERROVIAS COMO FATOR DE RESILIÊNCIA PARA UMA INFRAESTRUTURA VERDE
Authors: Contador Prof. Ph. D. Claudio Roberto , Iaccarino Prof. D.Sc. Sergio 
Published: December 2023

O artigo discute duas questões relacionadas com os estímulos aos investimentos em ferrovias. A primeira apresenta a rentabilidade e o risco sob o ponto de vista privado das operações das ferrovias em comparação com outros tipos de transporte e os demais setores de atividade no Brasil, no período 2013-2018. As estimativas apontam que as operações das ferrovias têm retorno mais baixo, mas também risco menor do que os outros modos de transporte. A segunda questão se refere aos efeitos diferenciados dos vários modos de transporte sobre o meio ambiente e qualidade de vida, e lança ideias para uma análise social dos projetos, inserindo cálculos econômicos que quantificam as perdas evitadas com a substituição do modo de transporte rodoviário pelo modo de transporte ferroviário.
Este trabalho considera importante que sejam criadas linhas de pesquisa com propostas de reviravolta nos investimentos em infraestrutura, visando a projetos mais sustentáveis e no âmbito da filosofia de baixo carbono, tudo coerente com a atenção maior para o modo de transporte ferroviário, no âmbito da trilogia de eficiências energética-econômica-ambiental com maior adequação e resiliência à tão propalada, mas pouco utilizada sustentabilidade.

Authors: Rosita Nungky 
Published: December 2023

BLT adalah singkatan dari Bantuan Langsung Tunai yang merupakan program bantuan pemerintah dengan pemberian uang tunai atau beragam bantuan lainnya. Pemerintah Desa wajib mengalokasikan dan menyalurkan bantuan langsung tunai (BLT) dari Dana Desa untuk meringankan beban masyarakat akibat adanya Covid-19. Namun dalam pelaksanaannya, Pemerintah Desa di Desa Kaduara Barat menghadapi beberapa permasalahan diantaranya ketika data keluarga yang memenuhi kriteria untuk mendapatkan BLT melampaui jumlah kuota penerima BLT. Dikarenakan terbatasnya jumlah kuota penerima BLT-DD maka pemerintah Desa harus melakukan seleksi sebaik-baiknya agar realisasi BLT-DD berjalan dengan lancar. Oleh sebab itu dibutuhkan suatu sistem pendukung keputusan agar dapat menentukan hasil pemilihan calon penerima BLT-DD baru secara tepat dan akurat. Pada sistem pendukung keputusan ini menggunakan metode CPI (Composite Perfomence Index) dan ROC (Rank Order Centroid). Hasil dari penelitian menggunakan kedua metode menunjukkan A2 (Abd. Asis) memiliki ranking teratas yaitu dengan nilai 132,7

Authors: Boddu R. , Deb A. , Roy J. S. 
Published: December 2023

A filtenna or filtering antenna has both radiation and filtering functions and is an important module for the RF front-end of wireless devices. The main function of a filtering antenna is to filter out the out-of-band interferences from the adjacent bands. In this paper, the design of a compact coplanar microstrip filtering antenna at 2.6GHz band is presented. The antenna is designed for the miniaturized devices for the city connectivity to access the internet of things (IoT) services over 2.6GHz long term evolution (LTE) gateways. Filtering antenna is designed using hairpin bandpass filter integrated with semi-circular microstrip antenna. Filtering antenna is designed by computer simulation technology (CST) software and measurements are performed by vector network analyzer. Good impedance matching at 2.6GHz band is obtained for the filtering antenna by choosing appropriate dimensions of the hairpin bandpass filter. The simulated 10dB return loss bandwidth of filtering antenna is 4.65% with maximum gain of 1.9dB. Measured and simulated results agree well for the semi-circular filtenna.

Methods: A bibliographic study was carried out, with a qualitative approach, for literature review based on the use of the keyword "reception with risk classification", in the Regional Portal of the VHL using two databases.
Results: We found 102 publications, 68 belonging to the LILACS database and 52 to the BDENF database, where 13 articles that were published between 2015 and 2019 were selected for full reading. It was noted that most of the publications focused on 2015, with emphasis on the southern region, in addition to most portraying the evaluation of the ACCR by the nurse.
Conclusion: It is evident the need to expand research on quality in the ACCR both for the qualification of nursing professionals, as well as in the structural and human resources sectors, especially in the northern region of the country.
The Contribution of Pipper nigrum L. to the Livelihoods of the Main Value Chain Actors in Njombe-Penja Sub-Division of the Littoral Region of Cameroon
Authors: Ndumbe Louis Njie , Ndokon Audrey Pascale 
Published: December 2023

The main objective of this study was to contribute to the sustainable trade of pipper nigrum L. from the forest area of Njombe-Penja for improved livelihoods of the actors involved in the value chain and poverty reduction. Despite the availability and the importance of non-timbers forests products in poverty reduction, sustainable livelihoods, food security, and conservation of natural resources, the market chain of Pipper Nigrum L. is still poorly understood as no study has yet been done on the contribution of white pepper to the livelihoods of the main value chain actors in Njombe-Penja sub-division. To achieve this objective, a market prospection and snowball sampling technique was used to identify the main actors of Pipper Nigrum L. in Njombe-Penja sub-division, Mungo Division of the Littoral Region of Cameroon. The main actors identified were stratified based on their role in the value chain (havesters, distributors, wholesalers and retaliers) from which individuals were randomly selected from each group. Surveys was used to capture primary quantitative data from the selected individuals. Before the full-scale study, a pilot test was conducted in Penja which tested the effectiveness of the questionnaires and to make necessary adjustments. To ensure reliability, the same survey protocol was used throughout the study. The questionnaires were also reviewed by other experts in the field. The data collected was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0 and the Microsoft tool (Microsoft Excel 10). The annual profit margins (considering profits from January to December 2022) was calculated for the main actors as well as the contribution of white pepper to their household incomes.The results reveal that distributors make the highest annual profit margin (20,250,000 FCFA) followed by wholesalers (2,288,541 FCFA), producers (1,248,692 FCFA) and retailers (305,329 FCFA). According to the sample T test the contribution of white pepper to the total household income was statistically significant for all actors. These results suggest that white pepper plays an important economic role in the household economy necessitating the valorization of the Penja white pepper value chain by the government and other development actors.
Exploratory Search Prompt Generation using n-Degree Connection in Knowledge Graph
Authors: Gupta Sudhanshu , Tiwari Krishna Kumar 
Published: December 2023

Search engines play a vital role in retrieving in- formation, but users often struggle to express their precise information needs, resulting in less-than-optimal search results. Therefore, enhancing search query refinement is crucial to elevate the accuracy and relevance of search outcomes. One particular challenge that existing search engines face is presenting refined results for queries containing two or more unrelated entities.
This paper presents a novel approach for efficient search prompt generation by leveraging connected nodes and attributes in the knowledge graph. We propose a comprehensive exploration technique that explores the n-degrees connections and their at- tributes to generate all possible imaginative prompts. We realized that n-degrees connection exploration is an expensive task, hence we conducted experiments to determine the effectiveness of 2- degree exploration prompts in covering all the user-asked queries within the provided dataset.
In testing with approximately 2000 queries on a related knowl- edge graph dataset, we found out that our proposed methodol- ogy significantly improved query coverage. At n=1 depth, the coverage increased from 58% without the methodology to 84% with it. At n=2 depth, the coverage rose from 92% without the methodology to nearly 99% with it. Additionally, due to our question caching strategy at n=2, we observed faster response times for all questions.

Aims: This study determined the prevalence and evolution of long COVID symptoms in patients hospitalized for severe COVID-19 at the CHUL intensive care unit in Libreville, Gabon.
Study Design: Prospective, longitudinal, study.
Place and Duration of Study: Infectiology Unit, Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Libreville Hospitalier Universitaire de LibrevH (CHUL), between January 2021 and January 2022.
Methodology: We included 144 patients (84 men, 60 women; median age 46.4 [16-88] years) hospitalized in the intense care unit for a RT-PCR- confirmed COVID-19 and who have accepted a one-year follow-up. All patients were consulted quarterly for 12 months. During the follow-up, existence, appearance and types of symptoms were sought at 3, 6 and 12-months post-hospitalization.
Results: The prevalence of long COVID-19 was 52.1% (n=75/144). Fatigue (21.3%), cough (20.8%), sleep disorders (16.0%) and anxiety (11.1%) predominated at month-3. The main symptoms reported 6-months after the onset of infection were dyspnea (9.7%; n=14), anxiety (7.6%; n=11), fatigue (6.2%; n=9) and cough (3.5%; n=5). One year after, the persistent symptoms were anxiety (6.5%; n=9), dyspnea (1.4%; n=2). Most participants had only one symptom: 60% at month-3, 79.5% at month-6 and 77.8% at 12-months (p=0.04).
Conclusion: The long COVID is frequent among patients hospitalized for severe form of SARS-COV-2 infection. It is imperative to continue generating information for appropriate prevention and monitoring measures to be adopted in Gabon.
Impact of Saroglitazar as an Add-on Therapy to Rosuvastatin in Patients with Diabetic Dyslipidemia– A Prospective, Single Centre, Observational Study in Indian Patients
Authors: Singh Harmanpreet , Sethi Gurpreet , Jhaveri Kunal 
Published: December 2023

Background: Diabetic dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus is defined by elevated TG levels and decreased HDL-C levels, as well as elevated or normal LDL-C levels. In diabetic dyslipidemia, the addition of saroglitazar to statins may provide comprehensive control of lipid parameters as well as good glycemic control, particularly in patients with high TG levels that are not controlled by statins alone.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of saroglitazar as an add-on therapy in patients with diabetic dyslipidemia already receiving rosuvastatin therapy.
Methods: In this open-label, prospective, single-center, observational study, newly diagnosed DM patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups, Rosuvastatin only (R) or Rosuvastatin plus Saroglitazar (RS). Both groups received rosuvastatin for 12 weeks, after which group R received the same treatment for another 12 weeks, and group RS received saroglitazar 4mg in addition to rosuvastatin for another 12 weeks. At the end of 24 weeks, the primary outcome measured were changes in baseline lipid parameters total cholesterol, serum TG, LDL, VLDL, HDL, and glycemic parameter HbA1c between and within Group R and Group RS. Secondary outcomes included changes in metabolic parameters such as blood urea, serum creatinine, SGOT, SGPT, and CPK, as well as reported adverse events. These assessments were made for both Group R and Group RS at both the 12-week and 24-week.
Result: When compared to Group R, patients in Group RS improved significantly in lipid parameters such as total cholesterol, serum TG, LDL, VLDL, HDL, and glycemic parameter HbA1c at the end of 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes revealed that Group RS had no significant side effects when compared to Group R, as evidenced by low fluctuations in renal and hepatic markers such as B. urea, S. Creatinine, SGOT, SGPT, and CPK levels over 24 weeks. As a result, the safety profiles of the combination treatment and rosuvastatin alone were comparable.
Conclusion: Saroglitazar, when combined with rosuvastatin, was found to improve lipid and glycemic parameters in diabetic dyslipidemia patients who were already on rosuvastatin.
