AVALIAÇÃO DA ATIVIDADE POZOLÂNICA DO MATERIAL CERÂMICO PRESENTE NO AGREGADO RECICLADO DE RESÍDUO DE C&D
Authors: Batista Leite Mônica , Dal Molin Denise 
Published: July 2023

A utilização de resíduos de construção e demolição (C&D) tem crescido muito nos últimos 20 anos. Estudos desenvolvidos com con- cretos reciclados, substituindo-se areia natural por agregado miúdo reciclado, em diferentes proporções, demonstraram um efeito significati- vo da interação entre o teor de agregado miúdo reciclado (%AMR) e a idade de cura dos concretos, sobre a resistência à compressão. Fato que poderia estar relacionado com a possível existência de algum tipo de reatividade pozolânica advinda de um dos componentes da fração miúda do material reciclado, o material cerâmico. Assim, este trabalho vem apresentar os resultados de um estudo sobre a atividade pozolânica desse material, que compõe o AMR. Foram realizados ensaios de deter- minação do índice de atividade pozolânica do material cerâmico com a cal e com o cimento, como prescrevem as normas brasileiras. Os resulta- dos de resistência apontaram que há atividade pozolânica do material cerâmico tanto com o cimento, quanto com a cal.
O PERFIL DO OPERÁRIO DA INDÚSTRIA DA CONSTRUÇÃO CIVIL DE FEIRA DE SANTANA: REQUISITOS PARA UMA QUALIFICAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL
Authors: César Carneiro Cordeiro Cristóvão , G Machado Maria Isabel 
Published: July 2023

A evolução da importância da gestão da produção na Cons- trução Civil, principalmente através de programas setoriais de qualida- de, tem alterado a rotina das empresas construtoras. Por outro lado, pesquisas de universidades também têm encontrado espaço no setor. Entretanto, alguns obstáculos presentes no desenvolvimento desses es- forços esbarram, muitas vezes, no paradigma da má qualificação da mão-de-obra. Entendendo que falta uma formação que propicie, aos gerentes de obra, uma visão mais adequada das relações interpessoais, buscou-se, neste trabalho, realizar, um breve diagnóstico das características da mão-de-obra da Construção Civil de Feira de Santana, de forma a sub- sidiar os esforços na melhoria da qualidade no setor. Objetivou-se apre- ender o entendimento do contexto de vida do operário, ouvindo suas necessidades e agregando valor ao processo de qualificação. Levanta- ram-se aspectos que podem ser usados para nortear estratégias de desen- volvimento de recursos humanos e de qualidade de vida no trabalho, ressaltando os possíveis benefícios advindos dessa iniciativa.

O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar que a intromissão estatal no âmbito dos contratos de adesão, a despeito da necessidade (idealmente residual) desse atuar, vem contribuindo para a perpetuação de um consumidor politicamente frágil que, despreparado para defender seus próprios interesses, muitas vezes se vale da suposta “fraqueza” para tirar vantagem.
REGIÃO SUDOESTE DA BAHIA: A ORGANIZAÇÃO DO ESPAÇO ECONÔMICO
Authors: Passos Dermeval 
Published: July 2023

Este artigo analisa a organização do espaço econômico em uma região do Estado da Bahia, no Nordeste do Brasil, denominada Sudoeste Baiano. Parte-se do pressuposto que a organização atual da economia nesse espaço territorial, e suas restrições, resultam de determinantes históricas, tais como, o de uma estrutura agrária altamente concentrada, baixa utilização da terra como meio de produção, em função da adoção da pecuária bovina de caráter extensivo, além de limitações do desenvol- vimento das forças produtivas e da organização da produção no setor urbano industrial. Procura-se mostrar, também, que as recentes mudan- ças que estão ocorrendo na economia nacional e no cenário internaci- onal dificultam ainda mais o desenvolvimento socioeconômico desse espaço e potencializam o desaparecimento e/ou diferenciação de processos pro- dutivos, empobrecimento e marginalização de segmentos sociais, além de reordenamentos institucionais e degradação ambiental.
DIAGNÓSTICO DOS RESÍDUOS SÓLIDOS PRODUZIDOS EM UMA FEIRA LIVRE: O CASO DA FEIRA DO TOMBA
Authors: Mendes Souza Vaz Luciano , Neiva Costa Bergson , Silva Gusmão Ozineide , Simões Azevedo Leonardo 
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo tem como finalidade observar a aplicação do método de caracterização de resíduos sólidos adaptado para o ambiente da feira livre auxiliando na tomada de decisões quanto ao gerenciamento dos resíduos gerados no local e potencialidades de mercado e reutilização. Através da análise das caracterizações realizadas detectou-se que a geração da Feira Livre do Tomba não ultrapassa a média de 2,0 toneladas e o resíduo produzido com peso específico de 0,66 t m-3, provavelmente devido à alta concentração de material orgânico. O componente orgânico foi o que mais se destacou em todos os processos de avaliação atingindo o índice médio de 84,2 % do total, cerca de 1,5 tonelada, o que difere dos resíduos com características domésticas que apresentam índices de cerca de 60% do total. Pode-se atribuir a origem destes resíduos principalmente aos setores de venda de frutas, verduras e cereais que geram produtos estragados durante o expediente de venda (machucados ou deteriorados). A heterogeneidade dos materiais orgânicos e o alto percentual destes na composição total dos resíduos produzidos nas feiras facilitam a utilização nas usinas de compostagem. Observa-se uma precariedade quanto às informações pertinentes aos resíduos gerados em áreas de feira livre e de programa de gerenciamento de resíduos nestes locais, o que dificulta a análise e confronto entre outras experiências desenvolvidas no país.

Published: July 2023

Introduction
Antenatal depression is highly prevalent and is associated with negative birth and neonatal outcomes. However, the mechanisms and causality behind these associations remain poorly understood as they are varied. Given the variability in whether associations are present, there is need to have context-specific data to understand the complex factors that go into these associations. This study aimed to assess the associations between antenatal depression and birth and neonatal outcomes among women attending maternity care in Harare, Zimbabwe.

Methods
We followed 354 pregnant women in second or third trimester, attending antenatal care services in two randomly selected clinics in Harare, Zimbabwe. Antenatal depression was assessed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV. Birth outcomes included birth weight, gestational age at delivery, mode of delivery, Apgar score, and initiation of breastfeeding within one-hour postdelivery. Neonatal outcomes at six weeks postdelivery included infant’s weight, height, illness, feeding methods and maternal postnatal depressive symptoms. The association between antenatal depression and categorical and continuous outcomes were assessed by logistic regression and point-biserial correlation coefficient, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression determined the confounding effects on statistically significant outcomes.

Results
Prevalence of antenatal depression was 23.7%. It was associated with low birthweight [AOR = 2.30 (95% CI: 1.08–4.90)], exclusive breastfeeding [AOR = 0.42 (95%CI: 0.25–0.73)] and postnatal depressive symptoms [AOR = 4.99 (95%CI: 2.81–8.85)], but not with any other birth or neonatal outcomes measured.

Conclusions
The prevalence of antenatal depression in this sample is high with significant associations demonstrated for birth weight, maternal postnatal depressive symptoms and infant feeding methods Effective management of antenatal depression is thus crucial to the promotion of maternal and child health.
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and its legalisation in Africa: Insights from tertiary-level students in Ghana
Authors: Acquah Francis , Botchwey Charles Owusu-Aduomi , Adoma Prince Owusu , Kumah Emmanuel 
Published: July 2023

Introduction
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) and related activities have been a topic of debate and discussion among policymakers and stakeholders, as well as common citizens in the African region, especially in Ghana. The current anti-LGBTI-related bill being put before Ghana’s Parliament signifies the intensity of the issue. Even though some studies have looked at some aspects of the issue, no study presently has explored people’s opinion on the passage of any future anti-LGBTI and related legislations in Ghana.

Aim
This study examined the perspective of tertiary-level students on the passage of anti-LGBTI legislation, as well as the non-physical factors that influence support for the passage of anti-LGBTI and related legislation in Ghana.

Methods
The study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design using 1,001 tertiary-level students. The study used convenience sampling technique with an online closed-ended, structured survey questionnaire as the main data collection instrument. The data was then analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 29 at a 5% significance level.

Results
The results of the study indicated that majority of the respondents (81%) were in support of the passage of anti-LGBTI and related legislations. Their reasons included the health implications of LGBTI and related activities (63%), cultural and societal values (62%), religious reasons (54%), and western culture (25%). Also, almost half of the respondents (49%) held that health related perceptions about LGBTI have little or no empirical basis. The inferential analysis, further, revealed that even when age and sex assigned at birth are controlled, perceived health implications of LGBTI (β = 0.247, p = < .001), religious beliefs (β = 0.189, p = < .001), and cultural values (β = 0.218, p = < .001) positively predict the support for passage of anti-LGBTI legislation.

Conclusions
People’s level of support for the passage of anti-LGBTI legislation is influenced by several factors including religious beliefs, cultural values, and the perceived health implications of LGBTI. There is, however, the need for policy makers and other stakeholders to create awareness and educate the public about the various perceptions about LGBTI and related activities that are not scientifically legitimate.
Prognostic value of the right ventricular ejection fraction using three-dimensional echocardiography: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Kitano Tetsuji , Nabeshima Yosuke , Nagata Yasufumi , Takeuchi Masaaki 
Published: July 2023

Aims
Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) is a robust method for measuring the right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (EF), which is closely associated with outcomes. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis (1) to examine the prognostic value of RVEF and (2) to compare its prognostic value with that of left ventricular (LV) EF and LV global longitudinal strain (GLS). We also performed individual patient data analysis to validate the results.

Methods and results
We searched articles reporting the prognostic value of RVEF. Hazard ratios (HR) were re-scaled using the within-study standard deviation (SD). To compare predictive values of RVEF and LVEF or LVGLS, the ratio of HR related to a 1-SD reduction of RVEF versus LVEF or LVGLS was calculated. Pooled HR of RVEF and pooled ratio of HR were analyzed in a random-effects model. Fifteen articles with 3,228 subjects were included. Pooled HR of a 1-SD reduction of RVEF was 2.54 (95% confidence interval (CI): 2.15–3.00). In subgroup analysis, RVEF was significantly associated with outcome in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) (HR: 2.79, 95% CI: 2.04–3.82) and cardiovascular (CV) diseases (HR: 2.23, 95%CI: 1.76–2.83). In studies reporting HRs for both RVEF and LVEF or RVEF and LVGLS in the same cohort, RVEF had 1.8-fold greater prognostic power per 1-SD reduction than LVEF (ratio of HR: 1.81, 95%CI: 1.20–2.71), but had predictive value similar to that of LVGLS (ratio of HR: 1.10, 95%CI: 0.91–1.31) and to LVEF in patients with reduced LVEF (ratio of HR: 1.34, 95%CI: 0.94–1.91). In individual patient data analysis (n = 1,142), RVEF < 45% was significantly associated with worse CV outcome (HR: 4.95, 95% CI: 3.66–6.70), even in patients with reduced or preserved LVEF.

Conclusions
The findings of this meta-analysis highlight and support the use of RVEF assessed by 3DE to predict CV outcomes in routine clinical practice in patients with CV diseases and in those with PAH.

Published: July 2023

ObjectiveThe association between blood lipid levels and the risk of gastric cancer (GC) is well known. Therefore, to clarify this association, all relevant prospective cohort studies were included in this meta-analysis.MethodsOur study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022354899) prior to its commencement. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with the PRISMA recommendations. Chinese databases (CNKI, CBM, Wanfang, and VIP) and English databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library) were systematically searched up to October 2022. This study included all relevant cohort studies that reported hazard ratios (HRs) or relative risks (RRs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) to examine the association between various lipid profiles (e.g., total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and the risk of developing gastric cancer (GC). Fixed effects or random effects models were used based on the level of heterogeneity among the studies, and these models were employed to obtain pooled hazard ratios. Additionally, sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis were conducted to ensure the robustness and reliability of the findings.ResultsAfter conducting a systematic search, a total of 10 studies were selected out of 10,525 papers involving a total of 5,564,520 individuals. Among these individuals, there were 41,408 GC cases. The analysis revealed that the highest versus lowest serum total cholesterol (TC) concentration was associated with a pooled hazard ratio of 0.89 (95% CI = 0.87–0.92, I2= 15%). For triglycerides (TGs), the hazard ratio was 1.00 (95% CI = 0.96–1.04, I2= 37%), while for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), the hazard ratio was 0.90 (95% CI = 0.86–0.93, I2= 0%). The hazard ratio for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was 0.96 (95% CI = 0.91–1.00, I2= 0%).ConclusionsBased on the results of this meta-analysis, it was found that serum TC and HDL-C levels were inversely correlated with the risk of GC. No association was observed between serum TG levels and the risk of GC. Similarly, no association was found between serum LDL-C levels and the risk of GC.

Published: July 2023

Background
Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for all children at birth within 24 hours or during childhood.

Objective
This study was aimed to evaluate protective efficacy of hepatitis B vaccine and estimate the sero-prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection among vaccinated children.

Materials and methods
A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March, 2021 to October, 2021 in Debre Markos town. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 165 fully vaccinated children aged 5–12 years old. A serum sample was used to determine hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), anti-hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc), anti-hepatitis B surface antibody titer (anti-HBs) using ELISA.

Results
The seroprevalence of HBsAg and anti-HBc anti-body was found to be 4.2% and 4.8% respectively. Of 165 fully vaccinated children, 129 (78.2%) had anti-HBs titer ≥ 10 mIU/ml. Among 129 sero-protected children, 76 (58.9%) were hypo-responders whereas the rest 53 (41.1%) were good responders. Those children within the age group of 5–7 years were 2.9 times (AOR: 2.873, 95% CI: 1.156, 7.141) (P<0.023) more likely to respond to HBV vaccine. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that children who were born from HBV positive mothers (AOR 3.917, 95% CI: 1.456, 5.365, P<0.027) and those who had history of injectable medications (AOR 9.232, 95% CI: 1.503, 11.697, P<0.016) were more likely to be HBsAg positive. Children who had history of hospital admission (AOR 6.973, 95% CI: 1.495, 8.530, P<0.013) were more likely to be anti-HBcAb positive.

Conclusions
There was an intermediate prevalence of childhood HBV infection despite being vaccinated suggesting low protective efficacy of hepatitis B vaccine in the study area.
Changes in the course of constant loading consolidation in soil with modeled granulometric composition contaminated with petroleum substances
Authors: Stajszczak Piotr , Dobak Paweł , Szczepański Tomasz 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe effect of contamination with petroleum substances (A1 jet fuel and 15W40 mineral oil) on the compressibility and consolidation of mixtures of ice-dammed clay and aeolian sand was determined in a Barden–Rowe consolidometer adapted for liquid-phase contamination tests. The deterioration of the filtration capacity of the contaminated soil medium relative to the non-contamination condition is reflected by the mobilization of higher values of pore pressureuband pore water pressure parameterCCLin the course of consolidometer tests. As a consequence, lower values of the compressibility modulusM0and the consolidation coefficientcvare obtained in relation to the results of uncontaminated samples. This generally indicates changes in the consolidation parameters of the soil medium in the presence of the tested contaminants. Methodologically, a delay in the onset of the steady-state phase of constant loading (CL) consolidation was observed in contaminated soils. This provides a rationale for programming the tests at lower values of the CL rate. At the same time, the unified model characterization ofCCL–TCLallows us to assess the reliable nature of the results. This allows one to recommend CRL (constant rate of loading) tests as a reliable tool for determining the consolidation properties of cohesive soils in the design of soil isolation barriers.
Legality, Legal Standards, and the Legacy of Marvin Frankel
Authors: Hessick Carissa Byrne 
Published: July 2023

In his widely influential book, Criminal Sentences: Law without Order, Marvin Frankel offered a blistering critique of judge-led sentencing, arguing that judicial sentencing discretion runs afoul of the famed principle of legality. In particular, Frankel claimed that sentencing is unique in its failure to adhere to the rule of law and that sentencing in the mid-twentieth century did not contain enough law. This essay argues that Frankel overstated his case. Although judges likely operated with insufficient constraints on their discretion, Frankel was wrong to argue that precise rules and the elimination of discretion are the hallmarks of justice and the rule of law, or that they are the norm in the modern criminal justice system. He was especially wrong to suggest that those who wrote the U.S. Constitution would have shared that view.
Frankel’s errors led him to embrace legislative rulemaking as the appropriate limit on judicial discretion, rather than appellate court development of flexible legal standards. Frankel’s dismissal of appellate review as the appropriate path to sentencing reform has had long-lasting negative consequences on American sentencing. Unlike rigid, mandatory guidelines¬—which Frankel favored—appellate review would have struck a difference balance between uniformity and individualization, would have allowed for a consensus to build around sentencing factors, and would not have empowered prosecutors to the same extent that the Federal Sentencing Guidelines did.
El desempaque del derecho a la protesta social en el sistema interamericano de derechos humanos: garantías frente a su criminalización y represión
Authors: Navajas Barrera Diego Alain 
Published: July 2023

El derecho a la protesta social en nuestras democracias actuales goza del estatus de derecho humano fundamental. Además, este derecho es entendido como necesario para el desarrollo del principio democrático del Estado Social de Derecho, y para el correlativo ejercicio de otros derechos humanos y libertades fundamentales. No obstante, la prominente importancia de este derecho es permeada por la constante presencia de fenómenos que criminalizan y reprimen el ejercicio de la protesta social. En ese estado de cosas, en este artículo de investigación, mediante el uso de la metodología del desempaque de los derechos humanos, se muestran aquellos derechos que necesariamente comprende la protesta social en el Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos, como la libertad de expresión, el derecho de reunión y la libertad de asociación. De otra parte, y con la misma metodología se logra establecer un marco de garantías (obligaciones) que los Estados deben cumplir en este sistema y que son necesarias para la protección del derecho a protestar ante fenómenos que vulneran su ejercicio, como la criminalización y represión.
