Authors: Pasquotto Geise Brizotti , Salcedo Rosio Fernandez Baca 
Published: August 2023

A habitação é um direito para assegurar a dignidade da pessoa humana. Embora seja um direito independente, sua ausência compromete o exercício pleno de outros direitos básicos, tais como saúde, educação, trabalho e lazer. A moradia adequada, a qualidade de vida urbana e a sustentabilidade social estão intrinsecamente vinculadas à habilidade do governo federal, estadual e municipal de criar leis, executar e supervisionar o cumprimento das regulamentações urbanas para um planejamento efetivo e eficiente. Objetivo: percorrer a evolução legal do conceito de direito à moradia no âmbito internacional e nacional. Metodologia: O trabalho está dividido em três eixos: o primeiro demonstra como o conceito de direito à moradia foi construído e o segundo, aborda esta temática na constituição do Brasil. O terceiro visa incorporar à análise da legislação brasileira as políticas públicas habitacionais realizadas. Resultados: Os resultados visam verificar se houve grande impacto da legislação internacional e nacional nas políticas públicas habitacionais, com enfoque especial nas ações federais, implementadas no Brasil.

As demand for animal protein rises, raising Japanese quail holds much potentials in bridging the gap. Phytogenics has been reported to have effect on spermiogramic parameters of animals. This research was done to ascertain the spermiogramic parameters of Japanese quails to administration of aqueous solution of egg lime molasses mixture (ELM). Fresh eggs were placed in a dish, followed by 500g of molasses and 1 liter of lime juice. It was then covered for 10 days and the entire mixture was blended. Two hundred day old Japanese quails were assigned to five treatments in a Completely Randomized Design and were subdivided into 4 replicates of 10 birds each. The control (T1) having no administration of ELM, T2 had an inclusion level of 10 mL, T3: 20 mL, T4: 30 mL and T5: 40 mL, all in 500 mL of water. Feed and water were provided ad libitum. The study was carried out for 49 days. Data were collected on genitalia morphometry and fertilizing potentials. The birds administered 20 mL of ELM had significantly (p <0.05) higher left epididymis weight (0.36 ± 0.05g) compared to the other groups. The inclusion of ELM in the water significantly influenced (p <0.05) left epididymis volume, paired epididymis volume, left epididymis density, paired epididymis density and spermatozoa reserves in the right epididymis. Testosterone values significantly increased (p <0.05) with increased ELM inclusion. It can be concluded that the administration of ELM did not alter growth parameters however birds that received 20 mL per 500 mL of water had the best reproductive parameters.

Abstract

The main goal of ecosystem management is to optimize the simultaneous delivery of multiple ecosystem services. However, it is always challenging to develop management practices which balance the ecosystem service trade-offs. Here, we investigated whether and how an innovative grazing practice, which incorporates periods of planned rest and sustainable stocking density, can simultaneously improve multiple ecosystem services. We found that grazing with rest in the peak growing season, along with setting sustainable stocking rates, which considered climate fluctuation, increased ecosystem multifunctionality under a wide range of perspectives (e.g., local herders, conservationists, and decision-makers) compared to grazing exclusion (government intervention) and continuous grazing (conventional practice). In particular, the innovative grazing practice mitigated the trade-offs among the four ecosystem services. These could be attributed to an increase in plant diversity and community dominance (especially dominant palatable forages), because plant diversity played critical roles in delivering cultural and provisioning services, and the dominance was fundamental to regulating and supporting services. Our study suggests that developing innovative management practices could enhance the provision of ecosystem services and mitigate their trade-offs and conflicts between different stakeholder groups.

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Background: Pediatric sepsis remains a leading cause of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite advancements of modern medicine, it accounts for more than 3 million childhood deaths per year. Multiple studies have emphasized that sex and gender have an impact on treatment and outcome of various diseases. Adult studies have revealed sex differences in pathophysiological responses to septic shock, as well as a possible protective effect of estrogens on critical illness. Sex-specific maturational and developmental differences in host immunology have been previously demonstrated for neonatal and pediatric age groups. At present, there are no studies assessing the impact of sex on outcomes of children with sepsis.
Methods: The goal of this study is to assess sex-specific differences in childhood sepsis survival outcomes. We will systematically assess associations of sex and gender with outcomes in pediatric sepsis in the literature by performing a systematic search of MEDLINE and Embase databases. We will include all English language randomized trials and cohort studies. Study population will include children >37 weeks gestational age and < 18years of age. Exposure will be sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock and main comparison will be between male and female sex. The primary outcome will be hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes will be pediatric intensive care unit and hospital length of stay.
Discussion: Results from this review are expected to provide important information on the association of sex with the outcomes of pediatric sepsis. If an association is noted, this study may serve as a foundation for further research evaluating the pathophysiological aspects as well as potential socioeconomic factors responsible for the clinically detected sex differences.

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Background Earth's climate changes are at an alarming rate. One of the most severe effects of climate change is extreme heat. This study aimed to assess the risk factors and level of knowledge and adaptation behavior of solid waste disposal workers regarding Heat Related-Illness (HRI) at 10th of Ramadan City.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 220 solid waste disposal workers. A structured interview questionnaire assessed the studied workers' sociodemographic and occupational characteristics, heat exposure risk, knowledge, and adaptation behavior.Results The study showed that adequate knowledge and adaptation behavior regarding HRI was 40% and 30%, respectively. There was a statistically significant association between adequate knowledge with age and education. There was a statistically significant association between adequate adaptation behavior with age, duration of employment, working hours and education. A binary logistic regression for significant risk factors for knowledge and adaptation behavior among the studied workers showed that age and education were the most significant predictors.Conclusion Solid waste disposal workers were at high risk of HRI due to their low levels of knowledge and adaptation behavior regarding HRI. Educational health programs which can guide workers to follow healthy behaviors and prevent HRI are recommended.
Network Traffic Prediction Based on the Multi-time Granularity GRU-BP Neural Network
Authors: haipeng wang , Zhang Shuai 
Published: August 2023

Abstract

A multi-time granularity GRU-BP neural network is proposed in this study for network traffic prediction. In the method, the network traffic data is fitted firstly by the cubic spline curve, and the fitted data is extracted according to different time granularities. Then, several GRU neural networks corresponding to specific time granularities are used for network traffic pre-prediction. Finally, the pre-prediction results of all the GRU neural networks are fed into the fully connected neural network. The fully connected neural network outputs the final network traffic prediction results. Comparison results show that the proposed method can improve the calculation accuracy by 9.0% and reduce the calculation time by 28.6%.

Abstract

Introduction: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an emerging leading cause of preventable vision impairment and blindness globally. Early screening is a recommended method for preventing avoidable blindness due to DR. We aim to examine the factors affecting the implementing of different diabetic retinopathy screening models in public health facilities and community settings.
Methods and analysis: A Pragmatic three-arm observational study will be conducted in three wellness and wellness centers in Punjab, India. The study will compare three equal-sized groups of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and those over 30 years who will be enrolled. Patients and healthcare providers will be interviewed to identify the barriers to accessing retinal examinations in primary health settings. Summary statistics will be presented as frequencies for categorical variables and mean (standard deviation) for continuous variables that are symmetrically distributed; otherwise, median and interquartile ranges will be reported.
The study includes a comprehensive economic evaluation to determine the cost-effectiveness of implementing different diabetic retinopathy screening models in primary health settings. This will be done using a decision tree model. The analysis will include both deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analysis.
Discussion:
A screening program should ensure early detection and referral for diabetic retinopathy treatment before it results in irreversible vision loss. However, understanding the problems of accessing diabetic retinopathy screening in public health facilities and estimating the cost-effectiveness of such a program in a public health setting in India will inform decision-makers responsible for allocating scarce public health resources.

Neuronal information processing causally depends on gamma phase synchrony
Authors: Drebitz Eric , Rausch Lukas-Paul , Kreiter Andreas K. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Successful behaviour relies on the brain’s ability to flexibly process relevant information while suppressing irrelevant information1. Visual neurons show functional flexibility by selectively responding to subsets of inputs representing attended objects while ignoring those conveying information about irrelevant objects2–5. Several neuronal mechanisms underlying such attention-dependent processing have been proposed. However, causation has not yet been proven6–9. We show that the spike arrival time with respect to the receiving neurons’ γ-oscillatory activity is causal to the spikes’ impact on these neurons and behaviour. We performed intracortical microstimulation (ICM) in area V2 of macaque monkeys to evoke spikes. These ICM-evoked spikes caused a significant increase in the spiking activity of receiving V4 neurons and a significant delay in monkeys’ responses. These effects were observed only when ICM-evoked spikes arrived close to the peak of the neurons’ excitability cycle, with no effects observed during other phases of the V4 γ-cycle. Our results demonstrate that phase synchronization between input spikes and receiver neurons is causal for selective signal routing and required for flexible network configuration. These results are significant for future theoretical and experimental research on selective information processing and brain-computer interfaces.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
A "heliospheric" termination shock (HTS) surrounds our solar system at approximately 100 astronomical units from the Sun, where the expanding solar wind is compressed and heated before encountering the interstellar medium. HTS-accelerated particles govern the pressure balance with the interstellar medium, but little is known about the HTS’s global properties beyond in situ measurements from Voyager in only two directions of the sky. We fill this gap in knowledge with a novel and complex methodology: particle-in-cell, test particle, and MHD simulations, combined with a global minimization scheme to derive global HTS compression ratio sky maps. The methods utilize Interstellar Boundary Explorer observations of energetic neutral atoms produced from HTS-accelerated particles. Our results reveal unique, three-dimensional characteristics, such as higher compression near the poles during solar minimum, north-south asymmetries from the disparate polar coronal holes' evolution, and minimum compression near the flanks likely from solar wind slowing by enhanced MeV particle pressure.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Background
We investigated the associations between the different dose of tigecycline, its efficacy and safety, and the role of tigecycline therapeutic drug monitoring for patients in intensive care unit.
Methods
This was a single-center cohort study including patients with Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, (MDR-AB)and Multidrug-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(MDR-KP) pulmonary infections admitted to the ICU between October 2020 and December 2021. The steady-state plasma concentration after tigecycline administration was determined by the High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. Multivariate analysis of the clinical efficacy and safety of tigecycline were performed to control cofounding factors.
Results
This study included 45 patients, and a total of 45 blood samples were collected to determine steady-state trough concentrations of tigecycline. All patients were divided into High Dose (HD) group and Standard Dose (SD) group. The median trough concentration of tigecycline was 0.56µg/mL in the HD group, which was higher than in the SD group(0,21µg/mL),p = 0.000. There was no significant difference between the two groups of patients in terms of bacterial eradication rate, mortality rate and clinical efficacy. Multiple regression analysis showed that ICU days was correlated with mortality OR 1.030(1.005–1.056), p = 0.017. APACHE II was significantly associated with clinical efficacy OR 0.870(0.755–1.002),p = 0.045. The level of fibrinogen decline in the HD group was significantly higher than that in the SD group(-3.05 ± 1.67 vs -1.75 ± 1.90),p = 0.038. Age and tigecycline treatment duration were identified as influencing factors for fibrinogen decline.
Conclusions
Tigecycline plasma concentrations are significantly increased when using a high dose. However, the plasma concentration of tigecycline is not correlated with clinical efficacy and adverse reactions. Fibrinogen decline appears to be related to patient age and days of tigecycline. Large sample data are still needed to confirm the clinical guidance significance of tigecycline TDM.

Abstract

Background:
Clinical studies have confirmed that traditional lumbar oblique-pulling manipulation (TLOM) can effectively improve lumbosacral pain caused by sacroiliac joint misalignment. However, the absence of established standards and norms for TLOM, combined with its diverse approaches, increases the likelihood of deviations in clinical effectiveness and potential exacerbation of the ailment.
Methods:
we will use a multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate and show that the lateral position rotation and pulling manipulation (LPRPM) is safer and more effective than the TLOM in the treatment of low back pain of sacroiliac joint misalignment origin. In this study, we propose to evaluate the effectiveness of LPRPM in the treatment of low back pain of sacroiliac joint misalignment origin by assessing the rate of improvement in pain symptoms, lumbar spine mobility, lumbar pain visual analogue scale (VAS), lumbar spine dysfunction Oswestry disability index(ODI), lumbar spine symptom improvement Japanese Orthopaedic Association Scores (JOA), and overall functional improvement Short Form 36(SF-36). We will recruit 272 patients diagnosed with low back pain of sacroiliac joint misalignment origin and randomly assign them to the trial and control groups in a 1:1 ratio. The trial group (n = 136) will be treated with LPRPM, and the control group (n = 136) will be treated with TLOM. Outcomes will be measured at four time points: before the first treatment, immediately after the first treatment, 1 week after the first treatment, and 1 month after the first treatment. Adverse events will be recorded.
Discussion:
In this research, we have modified TLOM and introduced a new technique called LPRPM to verify whether this manipulation is efficacy and safety.
