As redes sociais têm a cada dia ultrapassado as fronteiras do papel inicial para as quais foram criadas. Hoje, são um importante elemento na comunicação, seja entre usuários, entre empresas, entre empresas e clientes e também entre cidadãos e governo. Com base nisso, esta pesquisa buscou descrever o papel das redes sociais de uma secretaria de saúde, pertencente à prefeitura de uma cidade localizada no estado do Amazonas, na ampliação do acesso às informações governamentais pelos cidadãos. Para a coleta de dados esta pesquisa utilizou questionários via Google Formulários, aplicados via internet, a 208 cidadãos do município alvo do estudo. Antes de iniciar sua participação efetiva na pesquisa, na resposta das questões do formulário, os participantes tiveram acesso ao Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido (TCLE) o qual continha orientações, objetivos e os aspectos éticos da pesquisa. O formulário aplicado continha 28 questões, sendo 26 fechadas e 2 abertas, divididas em quatro seções. Os resultados demonstraram que as redes sociais mais utilizadas pelos participantes da pesquisa são o WhatsApp, Instagram e Facebook. Utilizam as redes sociais muito frequentemente, principalmente para entretenimento. Como fonte de informação utilizam WhatsApp e Instagram. Do total de participantes, 50,50% seguem as redes sociais da secretaria de saúde alvo deste estudo e acessam o conteúdo para acompanhar informações gerais sobre notícias sobre a área da saúde do município (61%) e obter informações sobre as ações voltadas à área de saúde realizadas pela Secretaria (55,20%). Apesar de avaliarem positivamente fatores como conteúdo publicado, objetividade, clareza e transparência; os participantes ao avaliarem a interação da secretaria com os cidadãos relataram que nunca receberam feedbacks de mensagens deixadas nestas redes (52,40%) o que demonstra uma maior necessidade de aproximação com os cidadãos para uma comunicação mais efetiva.

How to convert CO2 to bioplastics in the age of global warming
Arpita Bose, PhD, Associate Professor, describes how to convert CO2 to bioplastics through new bugs and novel tools with a focus on fighting global warming. Global warming, caused by greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide (CO2) which trap heat in the atmosphere and warms the globe, is becoming increasing prevalent with unsustainable human activity and mass production. To tackle this, we need to begin looking to bioplastics to transition away from traditional petroleum products polluting our environment. While some sources of emissions causing global warming are natural, (e.g., volcanoes), the rate and intensity of natural emissions are not enough to cause the drastic temperature change observed in past decades. Nature is not contributing significantly to global warming; we are.
Clinical trial challenges for new technology in radiation oncology

Clinical trial challenges for new technology in radiation oncology
Stephen Kry, Professor from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, explores clinical trial challenges for new technology in radiation oncology, including the radiotherapy treatment technique, proton therapy. While novel drugs must show efficacy before they are approved for clinical use, there is no such requirement for the new technologies that drive development in radiation oncology. As long as the technology is shown to be safe, it can be implemented. One advantage of this is that it allows new treatments to be implemented very quickly into clinical practice as there are relatively few scientific and regulatory requirements. On the other hand, there is little data to demonstrate which patients stand to benefit or the degree of benefit received by the patient. Expensive new therapies are, therefore, often implemented with little more than a theoretical justification. Despite not being required, clinical trials comparing novel treatments to traditional ones are the most clear and robust method for establishing the value and efficacy of these advancements.
Does England have a bias against ethnic minority teachers?

Does England have a bias against ethnic minority teachers?
85% of teachers in England are White British, and 46% of schools have no racially diverse teachers at all. Does this mean England has a bias against ethnic minority teachers? Beng Huat See from Durham Evidence Centre for Education explores. Around 70% of the working population is recorded as White British, but 85% of all teachers in state-funded schools in England are White British. This makes teaching a particularly White profession. Around 66% of the student population is White British, but 86% of teachers and teaching assistants and 93% of school leaders are White British by ethnic background (Gov.UK 2021). There represents a mismatch between the ethnic makeup of teachers and pupil numbers overall.
The challenges of practising intellectual humility with deeply held religious beliefs

The challenges of practising intellectual humility with deeply held religious beliefs
Peter C. Hill explores the challenges associated with practising IH with deeply held religious beliefs in his fourth of a five-article series on the topic of intellectual humility (IH). Looking at the contentious nature of much religious dialogue and strongly held religious beliefs – where roughly two-thirds of the world’s population consider religion to be important for daily living – it is no surprise that the domain of religion is fertile ground to study the social effects of intellectual humility. Religion, because its concerns are heavily weighted with strong existential issues, is, for many, a certainty-driven motivation. Thus, one may fear discovering that they could be wrong, which, in turn, can undermine one’s religious meaning system’s sense of coherence and certainty reinforced by strongly held religious beliefs. Analysing the intellect in intellectual humility, types of psychological processes and reasoning, and what research says about religious beliefs and teachings, Hill explains how religion will likely serve as a non-negotiable moral conviction and, as such, changing one’s religious beliefs should not be considered a necessary criterion for IH.

Towards One Health Intelligence surveillance systems
The increase in global diseases and other health threats in recent decades has necessitated the importance of strengthening our surveillance systems towards early detection and monitoring of drivers. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the vulnerability of countries to such global health threats, which requires collective actions beyond individual organisations and countries (Agenda 2024, 2020). There was a global call to strengthen health surveillance systems (WHO, 2007; FAO, OIE and WHO, 2010), and countries deliberated to depart from traditional reactive surveillance to novel proactive approaches, including integration of the systems (Shuai et al., 2006; Wahl et al., 2012; Lwin et al., 2014).

CB2R agonists in the clinics: A treasure chest for treating inflammatory diseases
Activation of the type-2 cannabinoid receptor (CB2R) holds great potential for treating diseases with an inflammatory component, researchers Uwe Grether and Marc Nazaré find. This G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) is a key element of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), an important lipid signaling system, and in these numerous small molecule activators, so-called CB2R agonists, there is a high efficacy in preclinical disease models for treating a multitude of pathological conditions such as cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, liver, kidney, lung, neurodegenerative/ neuroinflammatory, skin pathologies, rheumatoid arthritis, endometriosis, and eye diseases. Analysing the roles of CB2R agonists in science and treatment, the researchers look at using cannabis sativa for selective CB2R agonists, success from clinical trials with CB2R agonists, and their potential for treating multiple diseases.

Diversifying the transition to renewable energy in Taiwan
MMA Global Aqua discuss the transition from the traditional uses of oil and gas to renewable energy in Taiwan, describing the challenges, benefits and skills needed in the transition. The transition from the oil and gas industry to renewable energy in Taiwan presents both challenges and opportunities. On the challenge side, professionals must adapt to a different industry landscape, including new technologies and practices specific to renewable energy. They also need to understand the regulations and policies governing the renewables sector in Taiwan, which may differ significantly from those in the oil and gas industry. Additionally, the language barrier poses a significant obstacle, making effective communication and collaboration more challenging. However, amidst these challenges lie a number of opportunities.

LIFU for major depressive disorder - Targeting the neural networks of depression
Tiago Costa, Assistant Professor at the Department of Microelectronics, Delft University of Technology, discusses opportunities surrounding low-intensity focused ultrasound in the treatment of major depressive disorder in a minimally invasive manner. Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and debilitating mental health condition affecting millions worldwide. While various treatment options exist, including medication and psychotherapy, a significant proportion of individuals with MDD do not achieve full remission or experience adverse side effects from existing treatments. Consequently, there is a need for innovative and effective therapeutic approaches to address this complex disorder. One emerging and promising area of research is the use of low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to treat major depressive disorder. LIFU is a non-invasive technique that utilises ultrasound waves at lower intensities compared to high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), which is used for the thermal ablation of tissue. By focusing these ultrasound waves on specific brain regions, LIFU has shown potential in modulating neural activity and potentially alleviating depressive symptoms.

Business and human rights in Japan: An overview
Professor Emi Sugawara from Osaka University of Economics and Law, Faculty of International Studies, walks us through the critical development of Japan’s policies concerning business and human rights. Recently, policy trends related to business and human rights have been characterised by their rapid and overwhelming nature. Since the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) was endorsed in 2011, 26 countries, including Japan, have formulated a national action plan on business and human rights (NAP). As national legislations have emerged to mandate human rights due diligence and information disclosure, the EU’s proposal on the Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence draws attention. The effective abolition of forced labour in global supply chains was also discussed at this year’s G7 summit hosted by Japan.(1) Additionally, the crackdown against the opposition to military rule in Myanmar, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, and a just transition to climate change are also important issues in the context of business and human rights.

Finding common ground: The delicate balance of political compromise in democracy
Associate Professor of Political Communication, Mariken A.C.G. van der Velden, explores the complexities of political compromise, including its impact on political representation and citizen support. Political compromise plays a crucial role in representative democracies, especially in multiparty consensus democracies. In such systems, nearly all political decision-making is subject to compromise among political parties. Political theorists have long emphasised the significance of compromise for liberal democracy. They argue that compromise is essential because it reflects a pluralistic view on partisanship and acknowledges the legitimacy of competing political claims for the common good.

AARS urzymes: Experimental biochemistry to map genetic coding
Dr Charlie Carter from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill explores how advances in enzymology and phylogenetics enable biochemical measurements that could map the ancestral development of genetic coding. Chemical reactions in the cell degrade energy-rich food molecules and rearrange their chemical bonds into other molecules necessary to construct and sustain living things far from chemical equilibrium. Those reactions occur spontaneously at rates that span an extraordinary range, the fastest going up to 1025 times faster than the slowest. (1) All these reactions must be accelerated by different amounts to maintain adequate concentrations of chemical components in the cell. Enzymes perform that differential acceleration exquisitely well.
Exploring the possibilities of bacteriophages for tuberculosis

Exploring the possibilities of bacteriophages for tuberculosis
Bacteriophages have long offered prospects for treating bacterial infections. Is it time to use phages to control tuberculosis? Professor Graham F. Hatfull explores this. Bacteriophages – phages for short – are viruses that infect bacteria. They were discovered about 100 years ago and are prevalent throughout the biosphere and indeed throughout our bodies. Phages infect and kill bacteria as they replicate, and because of this antibacterial action, they have long been recognized as having therapeutic potential. This potential was largely side-lined once broad-acting antibiotics were discovered, but the troubling emergence of antimicrobial drug resistance has prompted the revisitation of bacteriophage therapeutics.
Managing patients with diabetes in rural underserved areas

Managing patients with diabetes in rural underserved areas
Professor Richard J. Santen, MD from the University of Virginia, explains the need for retired endocrinologists returning to work to manage patients with diabetes in America’s rural underserved areas. Patients with diabetes living in rural, underserved areas frequently experience less than adequate health outcomes, often exacerbated by higher rates of poverty, lack of health insurance and insufficient primary care and specialist providers. While this is a shocking situation, it is also an opportunity. Many retired doctors are eager to offer their services and are looking for ways to reach out and help. Herein lies an opportunity to connect retired endocrinologists via telemedicine with patients attending these rural community health centers, Professor Santen says. He argues that the solution is telemedicine – for example, a doctor in Alabama would not have to leave home to help a person in an underserved rural community hundreds of miles away. Detailed reports of the findings and recommendations can take time, but, various digital dictation software programs are available, which are highly accurate and secure. Dr Santen comments that he knows of many specialists who have built highly successful careers and can now retire and enjoy the financial benefits of their hard work
