Published: March 2023

O presente artigo pretende discutir o processo de mudança comportamental do consumidor, bem como caracterizar os principais impactos socioeconômicos provocados pela pandemia de Covid-19 nos serviços de alimentação, localizados na Ilha do Marajó, mais precisamente no município de Salvaterra, no Estado do Pará. A sua importância repousa no destaque que o setor de serviços possui para a economia local, impactada pela redução dos postos de trabalho, fechamento de empresas, redução da renda das famílias e outros fatores que acabaram por pressionar a já fragilizada capacidade econômica do município. Do ponto de vista metodológico, a pesquisa adotada será do tipo exploratória-descritiva. Além disso, um questionário contendo 21 perguntas abertas foi respondido por 61 usuários do setor de serviço alimentício. A principal conclusão é que a pandemia de Covid-19 restringiu, de forma considerável, a atuação dos serviços de alimentação em Salvaterra. Nesse cenário, porém, o serviço de delivery tornou-se a principal estratégia para manter as atividades do setor, despontando como alternativa para a população da região pela facilidade de implantação, baixo custo e pela comodidade para o cliente, principalmente em Salvaterra. Palavras-chave: Serviços de alimentação. Ilha do Marajó. Salvaterra. Pandemia. Covid-19.

Published: March 2023

O presente artigo busca efetuar um levantamento dos princípios semióticos pertinentes ao campo das histórias em quadrinhos e verificar de que forma esses elementos são utilizados na reconstrução da memória dos sobreviventes a partir dos incidentes ocorridos em 1956, e seus correlatos diretos, nos vilarejos de Khan Younis e Rafah na obra Notas sobre Gaza, do autor Joe Sacco. Como metodologia, utilizou-se a revisão bibliográfica, em especial a obra O sistema dos quadrinhos do autor belga, Thierry Groensteen, aliando outras concepções sobre o mesmo tema, como as analisadas, por exemplo, no segmento de Antônio Luiz Cagnin e, com base nesse levantamento, foram efetuadas análises das páginas selecionadas do quadrinho nas quais ocorre a reconstrução gráfica da memória das pessoas entrevistadas. Observou-se que a composição gráfica sequencial dessas memórias se dá a partir de elementos preponderantemente ortodoxos dentro da linguagem atribuída à semiótica dos quadrinhos, mantendo com isso a sobriedade dos relatos pertinentes à composição da obra enquanto quadrinho-reportagem. Concluiu-se, a partir daí, que as opções especificamente determinadas pelo autor, para elaboração dos trechos analisados se mostraram bastante efetivas. Estas operaram em fina sintonia, para a reconstrução memorialística, a partir das fontes orais – mantendo os pressupostos da reportagem. Assim, conseguiu entregar o componente dramático pertinente ao campo dos elementos icônicos das histórias em quadrinhos, sem perda ou obliteração da proposta inicial.

Authors: Tarigan Dhea Benedikta , Dhamanti Inge 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT
Background: Primary Health Care (PHC) is a gatekeeper in providing comprehensive services for maternal and child health (MCH). MCH services in PHC remain limited and have not been entirely handled and distributed. Based on this, MCH in PHC requires Quality Improvement (QI) interventions. Purpose: Identify the implementation of QI in maternal and child health in PHC and identify the most QI tools or approaches used. Methods: This is a scoping review of the qualitative and quantitative results of studies that focused on Quality Improvement for maternal and child health in Primary Health Care. The inclusion criteria consist of articles published in English and original articles; the topic is an improvement for maternal and child health in Primary Health Care; full text and open access. Results: Six findings have been found, which are: QI interventions for MCH problems mostly happen in Low Middle Income Countries (LMIC); Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) was the most used QI intervention approach; the success of QI implementation including the interventions; the most used QI Intervention; the role of stakeholders; and factors related to the successes of QI intervention. Conclusion: Implementation QI is often carried out in Low-Middle Income Countries (LMIC). Furthermore, various QI interventions have been used to solve maternal and child health issues. The most used QI tool was PDSA. Training, mentoring, and workshops for midwives and clinic teams were most often QI interventions implemented.
In situ measurement of light transmission into wine bottles and calculation of shelf life

Published: March 2023

Wine exposed to UV-A and violet light (320–440 nm) can develop a light-struck flavour which deteriorates its quality. In a short introduction, we briefly describe the two most important photochemical pathways of this process and discuss conditions that facilitate the formation of undesired compounds. The main thrust of the study is to use a novel method to determine light transmission into real wine bottles, along with optical and photochemical modelling of wine damage. Calculation of light transmission into bottles and resulting photochemical damage is described in detail and compared to in situ measurements of transmitted light inside bottles. The effect of different light sources (sunlight, fluorescent bulbs and LED bulbs) is also discussed. It is found in in situ measurements that clear (flint) bottles transmit up to 35 % and bluish-green bottles up to 8 % of the harmful UV–violet light, while light amber bottles only up to 1.2 % and dark amber ones up to 0.2 %. Results of simple tasting experiments support the validity of shelf life calculations described here. According to these findings, white wine in flint (clear) and bluish-green bottles can survive only for a few days while displayed on shelves; light amber bottles conserve the quality for about a month and dark amber bottles for more than a year. Recommendations concerning the protection of shelf-displayed bottled wine from light exposure are also given.

Objectives. To examine the association between historical redlining and contemporary pedestrian fatalities across the United States. Methods. We analyzed 2010–2019 traffic fatality data, obtained from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System, for all US pedestrian fatalities linked by location of crash to 1930s Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC) grades and current sociodemographic factors at the census tract level. We applied generalized estimating equation models to assess the relationship between the count of pedestrian fatalities and redlining. Results. In an adjusted multivariable analysis, tracts graded D (“Hazardous”) had a 2.60 (95% confidence interval = 2.26, 2.99) incidence rate ratio (per residential population) of pedestrian fatalities compared with tracts graded A (“Best”). We found a significant dose‒response relationship: as grades worsened from A to D, rates of pedestrian fatalities increased. Conclusions. Historical redlining policy, initiated in the 1930s, has an impact on present-day transportation inequities in the United States. Public Health Implications. To reduce transportation inequities, understanding how structurally racist policies, past and present, have an impact on community-level investments in transportation and health is crucial.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the challenges in facilitating online teaching for secondary education during the Covid-19 pandemic based on a case study in the western province of Sri Lanka. With the pandemic, teachers had to face many challenges concerning online teaching, as they were unprepared for the remote teaching process that was to follow. For this research, teachers were able to give an account of their experiences, challenges, and the sacrifices that had to be made in adapting to this new method of teaching. A mixed method of data collection and analysis was used in this research, as both quantitative and qualitative methods in combination would provide a better understanding of the research problem enhancing the validity of the results. Through the findings of this research, it was revealed that most schools and their teachers had embraced online teaching amid the many challenges during Covid-19. Thereby measures had to be taken to overcome and mitigate the effects of these challenges faced in online teaching, making it possible for teachers to deliver an online education for students that is on par with other technologically advanced education systems.
Effect of Hetero-atom Doping on the Electrocatalytic Properties of Graphene Quantum Dots for Oxygen Reduction Reaction

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Oxygen reduction is an important reaction involved in a diverse variety of energy storage devices and also in many chemical and biological processes. However, the high cost of suitable catalysts like platinum, rhodium, and iridium proves to be a major obstacle for its commercialization. Consequently, many new materials have emerged in recent years such as various forms of carbon, carbides, nitrides, core-shell particles, Mxenes, and transition metal complexes as alternatives to platinum and other noble metals for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Among these, Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) as metal-free alternatives have captured universal attention, since electrocatalytic properties can be tuned not only by size and functionalization but by heteroatom doping also. We discuss electrocatalytic properties of GQDs (approximate size 3-5 nm) with specific dopants such as N and S focusing on their synergistic effects of co-doping, prepared by solvothermal routes. Cyclic Voltammetry shows benefits of doping as lowering of the onset potentials while steady-state Galvanostatic Tafel polarization measurements show a clear difference in the apparent Tafel slope, along with enhanced exchange current densities, suggesting higher rate constants.

Abstract

Air compressors have become critical equipment in different industrial applications such as metallurgy, mining, machinery manufacturing, petrochemical industry, transportation, etc. However, because of their complex structure and often harsh working environment, air compressors inevitably face a variety of faults and failures during their operation. Therefore, intelligent diagnostic techniques are crucially important for early fault recognition and detection to avoid industrial failure due to machine breakdowns. In this paper, an intelligent algorithm for reciprocating air compressor fault diagnosis is proposed based on several approaches, mainly: Maximal overlap discrete wavelet packet transform (MODWPT) and time domain features for feature extraction, weighted superposition attraction (WSA) for feature selection and random forest (RF), ensemble tree (ET) K-nearest neighbors (KNN) as classifiers. The proposed approach is applied to real-time acoustic signals acquired from an air compressor with one healthy and seven different faulty states. According to our approach, the data signals are decomposed by MODWPT into several nodes. Then, the time domain features are calculated for each node to construct the feature matrix for each air compressor health state. After that, WSA is applied to every matrix in the feature selection step. Finally, KNN, ET and RF are used to calculate the classification accuracy and give the confusion matrix. Compared with the robust empirical mode decomposition (REMD), the experimental results prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach to detect, identify and classify all air compressor faults.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background and Objectives

The intention of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the relative usefulness of psycho-education (PE) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training programs on carers of relatives with dementia (RWD).

Materials and Methods

An eight-week, randomized, controlled trial was accomplished from March to December 2020. Ninety carers of RWD were randomly allocated to PE or MBSR-training program. Carers were rated at baseline and at the 8-week after training with the Beck Depression Inventory, Hamilton Anxiety Inventory, Coping Response Inventory, and the Short Form of Health Survey.

Results

A significant decrease in state anxiety symptoms and gains in problem-focused coping appeared in both groups. In the 45 carers trained by MBSR, the mean (SD) of the anxiety score declined from 37.0 (1.9) to 35.6 (1.7) (P < 0.001). Of the 45 carers trained by PE, the mean (SD) of the anxiety score declined from 36.7 (1.2) to 34.5 (2.9) (P < 0.001). The mean (SD) of problem-focused coping score increased from 15.5 (5.0) to 16.7 (4.8) (P < 0.001) and from 14.7 (5.8) to 15.5 (5.7) (P < 0.05) in the PE and MBSR groups. Carers’ adherence was fine and no unpleasant effects were seen.

Conclusions

Both MBSR and PE significantly reduce state anxiety symptoms and gains in problem-focused coping. MBSR demonstrated no superiority over the PE-training program.

Increased expression of NLRP3 associate with elevated levels of HMGB1 in children with febrile seizures: a case control study
Authors: Ye Xing-Guang , She Feng-Zhi , Yu Dong-Ni , Wu Li-Qian , Tang Yan , Wu Ben-Ze , Dong Shi-Wei , Dai Jie-Min , Zhou Xing , Liu Zhi-Gang , Qin Zhou-Lian 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background
High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is an endogenous danger signal that mediates activation of the innate immune response including NLR pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation and pro-inflammatory cytokine release. Although HMGB1 and NLRP3 have been implicated in the pathophysiology of seizures, the correlation between HMGB1 and NLRP3 has not been determined in children with febrile seizures (FS). To explore the relationship between extra-cellular HMGB1 and NLRP3 in children with FS, we analyzed serum HMGB1, NLRP3, Capase-1, and pro-inflammatory cytokines of patients with FS.
Methods
Thirty FS children and thirty age-matched febrile controls were included in this study. Blood was obtained from the FS children within 1 hour of the time of the seizure; subsequently, the content of HMGB1, NLRP3, Capase-1, interleukin (IL)-1β, interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare serum cytokine levels between FS patients and controls. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was calculated to detect significant correlations between cytokine levels.
Results
Serum levels of HMGB1, NLRP3, Capase-1, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were significantly higher in FS patients than febrile controls (p < 0.05). Serum levels of HMGB1 were significantly correlated with levels of NLRP3 and Capase-1 (both, p < 0.05). Serum levels of Capase-1 were significantly correlated with levels of IL-1β (p < 0.05). Serum levels of IL-1β were significantly correlated with levels of IL-6 and TNF-α (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
HMGB1 are up-regulated in peripheral serum of FS patients, what may be responsible, at least in part, for the increased expression of NLRP3 and Caspase-1. Increased expression of Capase-1 was significantly associated with elevated serum levels of and IL-1β. Given that activated Caspase-1 directly regulates the expression of mature IL-1β and positively correlates with activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, our data suggest that increased levels of peripheral HMGB1 possibly mediate IL-1β secretion through the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in children with FS. Thus, both HMGB1 and NLRP3 might be the potential target for preventing or limiting FS.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
The concept of locally repairable code(LRC) is presented to improve the reliability and efficiency of distributed storage systems. linear complementary dual (LCD) code is proved useful for preventing malicious attacks, and helps to secure the system. In this paper, we put LRC and LCD code together for consideration, to enhance repair efficiency and security. Firstly, a new method of constructing self-orthogonal code from arbitrary ternary linear code is proved. Then a new construction of ternary LRC that is also LCD code with small locality is proposed. As a result, plenty of ternary LCD-LRCs attaining the CM bound are obtained, which shows the effectiveness of our method.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background:
Bone development, particularly important during adolescence, can be affected by a variety of factors that can lead to the development of bone diseases such as osteoporosis or fractures. Whether dental caries is related to skeletal status, or whether lack of calcium affects the teeth, is always the question that clinical patients want to have answered. The present study was aimed to compare the bone mineral density and bone metabolism of adolescents with and without dental caries.
Methods:
Adolescents were enrolled in the dental caries and caries-free groups, respectively. A questionnaire and clinical oral examination in terms of DMFT scores were conducted. Bone mineral density (BMD) was tested and peripheral blood was collected for bone metabolism assessment.
Results:
119 and 140 adolescents were included in the dental caries and caries-free groups. The mean BMD and Z-score of the two groups showed no statistically significant difference. Serum concentrations of ALP, bone alkaline phosphatase, N-terminal osteocalcin, peptide of type I procollagen, and β-cross-linked C-telopeptide of type 1 collagen levels in the dental caries group were significantly lower than in the caries-free group (p < 0.05). Serum calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, 25-OH-VitD, and parathyroid hormone were not statistically different between two groups. Multiple factor logistic regression showed that serum calcium concentration in males had an OR of 2.55 for dental caries (p< 0.001).
Conclusions:
BMD and majority of bone metabolism indexes were not related with dental caries among Chinese adolescents. For male adolescents, serum calcium level was associated with higher risk of dental caries.
