O descarte incorreto dos medicamentos causa diversos danos ao meio ambiente e à saúde da população. A destinação correta dos fármacos, além de preservar o meio ambiente, pode gerar economia aos cofres públicos,podendo auxiliar no tratamento dos usuários do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Com a finalidade de reduzir o descarte e proporcionar a utilização adequada de medicamentos, foi criada na Prefeitura Municipal de Canguçua Farmácia Solidária. O presente estudo tem o objetivo de relatar a experiência de sua criação. A Farmácia Solidária recebe os fármacos por meio de doações da comunidade ou de empresas, classificando-os e repassando à população aqueles avaliados como adequados. Desde a sua abertura, em 19 de fevereiro de 2020, até agosto de 2021, foram atendidos 59 pacientes e dispensados 3.144 comprimidos. Por meio deste relato de experiência foi possível confirmar os impactos positivos da Farmácia Solidária na Assistência Farmacêutica de Canguçu. A iniciativa aumenta as chances de o usuário encontrar os seus medicamentos disponíveis no sistema público de saúde, sem custos, o que beneficia os mais vulneráveis, especialmente neste período de maior necessidade. Além disso, pode-se destacar o reflexo positivo na preservação do meio ambiente, com a utilização adequada dos medicamentos aptos ao consumo e a destinação correta dos não aptos, e os resultados na conscientização acerca do descarte correto de fármacos.

Authors: Moreira Morbeck Natália Belo , Novak Ana Carolina Thomaz Soares 
Published: February 2022

O gerenciamento de estoque é um desafio presente no âmbito farmacêutico, como em muitos outros, que impactam na saúde dos pacientes hospitalizados, fazendo-se necessária a aplicação de métodos que auxiliam o gestor na elaboração do planejamento organizacional de sua equipe e estoque, aumentando assim a sua relevância e levando-se em consideração a grave situação pandêmica na qual o mundo se encontra. Considerando a importância dessas ferramentas, o presente trabalho teve, como principal objetivo, propor um plano de ação na gestão de estoque na farmácia oncológica que consequentemente potencializou o serviço da equipe multiprofissional de saúde, por meio de um mapeamento dos processos de trabalhos. Este foi realizado no Ambulatório de Oncologia do HGP em quatro diferentes etapas, sendo elas sensibilização da equipe, mapeamento do processo de trabalho, diagnóstico do processo e desenvolvimento do plano de ação. As informações foram coletadas por meio de reuniões com a equipe composta por farmacêuticos, médicos, enfermeiros e recepcionistas. Foram utilizadas ferramentas da gestão da qualidade, que são Bizagi modeler, Diagrama de Ishikawa e plano de ação 5W2H, para traçar um fluxo lógico de atendimento do paciente pela unidade ambulatorial e esquematizar os processos de trabalho, para assim poder apresentar uma solução para os problemas encontrados. A falta da esquematização do atendimento aos pacientes dentro do Ambulatório de Oncologia do HGP prejudica a gestão do estoque de medicamentos por não ser possível identificar falhas e duplicidade de atividades. Por outro lado, a melhoria desses processos de trabalho agrega ganhos de eficiência e, via de consequência, redução de custos relativos com potencial ampliação do acesso aos usuários do serviço. Algo extremamente importante em tempos de pandemia, que trouxe ampliação dos gastos no seu enfrentamento.
Citizen Carbon Fund: Harmonized International Carbon Taxes and Transfers to Increase Treaty Size
Authors: Klis Anna A. , McGinty Matthew 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
A uniform carbon tax and Citizen Carbon Fund are proposed as a zero-sum system of transfers that can increase equilibrium participation and result in a positive carbon check for each citizen covered by the agreement. The carbon tax results in efficient abatement, generates tax revenue and finances transfers that increase equilibrium participation in a climate agreement. A single carbon price is easier to negotiate than many different abatement requirements, but mirrors the results of a cap-and-trade agreement. An example using the four largest carbon emitters illustrates the set of stable agreements, the transfers required for stability and the resulting carbon checks.

Abstract
In order to improve the performance of engines fueled with diesel fuel or diesel-like e-fuels so as to realize greener transportation, the V-type and Y-type intersecting hole nozzles, in which each hole is formed by the coalescence of two or three subholes, have been designed. In this article, the multiphase flow inside and outside the nozzle was numerically investigated using a volume-of-fluid large eddy simulation (VOF-LES) method to clarify the effects of the nozzle structure on the cavitating flow and primary atomization characteristics. The calculation was carried out at an injection pressure of 150 MPa and a back pressure of 0.1 MPa. Numerical results showed that unlike the L-shape pressure distribution along a cylindrical hole, for intersecting type hole nozzles, the pressure showed a stepped shape drop along the holes due to the overall convergent hole structure, which restrained the inception of cavitation. Consequently, the global loss of the flow over an intersecting type hole nozzle was lower by 24–37% than those of a cylindrical hole nozzle. Additionally, the jets emerging from the intersecting hole nozzles showed 50% wider spreading angles and 27% smaller droplet sizes than those of the cylindrical hole nozzle. Furthermore, the jets emerging from a Y-type intersecting hole nozzle showed enhanced atomization, which was found to be due to the unstable air suction near the outlets of this type of nozzle hole.
A capability of power line communication for HEMS of smart grid on traditional home power grid in Thailand
Authors: Pisapan Phatrakit , Wongpanyo Watchara 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This research was conducted on the ability of Power Line Communication (PLC) technology to communicate data for home energy management system through the traditional home electrical grids in Thailand. The study found that the Narrow-Band Power Line Communication (NB-PLC) is most suitable for smart home applications and safe for health of the residents. The results showed that the efficacy of PLC is mostly dependent on the service life time factor of the cables. The regression rate of signal level for the newest electric wire (1–15 years) is 83% lower than the oldest (30–45 years) and 47% lower than the middle life time (16–30 years). Also, the regression rate of signal level for the middle life time was 69% lower than the oldest wire. Whereby we could predict the signal level according to the changing length and service life time of electric cable. In this research, it was found that the carrier frequencies also are influence on the signal level of the power line communication. The signal level of KNX PL110 standard which used the frequency range 105 and 115 kHz is higher than the signal level of IDIS that used the frequency range 63.3 and 74.5 kHz and the regression of signal level of KNX PL110 standard is 68% lower than the IDIS standard. The experimental results also showed that baud rate “2400” is the best for power line communication because it generates more stable signal levels.

Authors: Bejaoui Safa , Chetoui Imene , Ghribi Feriel , Soudani Nejla , Cafsi Mhamed EL 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This investigation was aimed to assess and evaluate the effect of frying process with three different oils (corn, olive and margarine) on fatty acids and lipid classes’ composition of clam and their impact on the nutritional value and tissues quality. The results indicated that the contents of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids varied significantly in fried clams and frying oil. Our data demonstrated that all lipid classes’ contents increased significantly after all frying processes. It was concluded that the frying process decreased the n-3/n-6 and DHA+EPA and increased the levels of atherogenic; thrombogenic indices. Additionally, these culinary processes promoted lipid peroxidation through the enhancement of TBARs, PV and FFA. These changes were more significant and intensive after frying with margarine and corn oils followed by virgin olive oil. These results suggest that clam fried with olive oil can be classified as highly nutritive in regard to its lipid content, major fatty acid profile; and nutritional value.
Evaluation of QZSS orbit and clock products for real-time positioning applications
Authors: Bramanto Brian , Gumilar Irwan 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is the recent Japanese satellite positioning system to enhance the positioning accuracy in Japan’s urban areas. Additionally, they provide precise orbit and clock corrections and can be obtained through their experimental signals (LEX), streaming access, and published site. Multi-GNSS Advanced Demonstration tool for Orbit and Clock Analysis (MADOCA) is one of the precise products offered in QZSS services that can be obtained on a global scale. In this study, we evaluated the performance of MADOCA orbit and clock corrections, particularly for real-time positioning applications using LEX signals. Based on the simulation, we predict that 16 countries in the East Asia and Oceania regions will gain the maximum benefit of the LEX signals. However, we stress that one may have difficulties decoding the LEX signals at regions where only one QZSS satellite is observed. During our sailing expedition at Sumatran Sea, we could only decode up to 37 % LEX signals for the observation period. It profoundly increased up to 95 % at Sulawesi Strait where at least three QZSS satellites with an elevation angle of, at its minimum, 40° were observed. The orbit and clock accuracy is estimated to be 5.2 cm and 0.6 ns with respect to International GNSS Service (IGS) final products. Our simulation of using the Real-Time Precise Point Positioning (RTPPP) method revealed that the accuracy of the corresponding positioning applications was less than one decimeter. Further, we compared the MADOCA products for RTPPP applications with Apex5 positioning solutions in static field observations. The positioning accuracy for MADOCA-RTPPP during the field observations was estimated to be centimeter to decimeter level and is slightly worse than Apex5 positioning solutions. Nevertheless, we highlight vast positioning applications using MADOCA-RTPPP, e. g., survey and mapping, smart agriculture, and offshore engineering navigation.

Variation determinants within massage therapists’ professional identity
Authors: Baskwill Amanda , Vanstone Meredith , Harnish Del , Dore Kelly 
Published: February 2022

Abstract

Objectives
Individuals have multiple, competing identities that vary in importance to the self. Professional identity is a way in which individuals attribute meaning to their contribution to society and is influenced by complex factors. Globally, the roles and responsibilities of massage therapists (MTs) vary, making it challenging to articulate a cohesive professional identity. This article describes the investigation into the variables which influenced response regarding MTs’ professional identity in Ontario, Canada.

Methods
An online questionnaire was distributed to active MTs with available email addresses in the public register of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. Chi-square tests of independence were used to compare dependent variables with independent variables. Significance was adjusted post hoc, using Bonferroni’s correction, to reduce the chance of a type I error occurring. The threshold for significance was adjusted from p≤0.05 to p≤0.01 as multiple analyses were conducted with a high response rate.

Results
The results provided insight into the variables associated with differences in responses. Variation was seen based on gender, primary practice setting, length in practice, additional education, additional roles within the profession, additional designation as a healthcare provider, and membership in the RMTAO (Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of Ontario).

Conclusions
While previous studies sought to describe the common and unifying features of MTs’ identity, these findings provide insight into variables that determine differences in responses. These findings are valuable for the development of future studies. They provide a priori assumptions regarding the inclusion of these demographic items that can inform decisions regarding enrollment of the sample and data analysis.

Abstract

Objectives

Raudra rasa is an ayurvedic medicine explicitly prescribed for the treatment of arbuda (cancer), whereas hiraka bhasma has the potential to promote cancer healing properties. Together, these two medicines provide multifunction benefits. This paper analyses the functional groups of Raudra rasa modified with hiraka bhasma and compares it with the classically prepared raudra rasa. To identify the functional group, organic ligands, and active compounds present in samples of raudra rasa (CRR) and modified raudra rasa with hiraka bhasma (MRR) contributing to cancer alleviation by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) & LC-MS analysis.

Methods
Classical raudra rasa (CRR), its ingredients, shadguna kajjali (SK); decoction of Piper betel Linn. (PBD); Amaranthus spinosus Linn. (ASD); Boerhaavia diffusa Linn. (BDD); Piper longum Linn. (PLD); cow urine (GM), & similarly modified raudra rasa (MRR), its ingredients, hiraka bhasma (HB); shadguna rasasindura (SHR); water-soluble extract of Piper betel Linn. (PBE); Amaranthus spinosus Linn. (ASE); Boerhaavia diffusa Linn. (BDE); cow urine ark (GA); Piper Longum Linn. (PLE) were subjected to FTIR and LC-MS analysis.

Results
Among all 15 samples studied, maximum numbers of peaks (21) were seen in MRR indicating a greater number of functional groups. Further, in MRR, a maximum peak in the double bond region is suggestive of its higher stability compared to CRR. Both the compound is preliminarily a mixture of the number of functional groups like; fluoro, methyl, amino, hydroxy, nitro, methylamino, carbonyl, and iodo groups, having known anti-proliferative activities. By the FT-IR analysis, the biologically active compounds in aqueous and methanol extract of CRR & MRR were identified that have anti-cancerous compounds. In the present study, a total of 40 major compounds like alkaloids, amino acid, carboxylic acid, Flavonoids, Nucleoside, Nucleotide, phenylpropanoid, Sphingosine, stilbenoid, sugar, phosphate, terpenoids, vitamin from aqueous & methanol extract of CRR & MRR were identified by LC-MS.

Conclusions
This research paper highlights the presence of different functional groups and bioactive compounds known to have anti-cancer activities. Thus, this review suggests future recommendations for the design and development of improved anticancer drugs with higher efficacy.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
An intelligent climate and watering agriculture system is presented that is controlled with Android application for smart water consumption considering small and medium ruler agricultural fields. Data privacy and security as a big challenge in current Internet of Things (IoT) applications, as with the increase in number of connecting devices, these devices are now more vulnerable to security threats. An intelligent fuzzy logic and blockchain technology is implemented for timely analysis and securing the network. The proposed design consists of various sensors that collect real-time data from environment and field such as temperature, soil moisture, light intensity, and humidity. The sensed field information is stored in IoT cloud platform, and after the analysis of entries, watering is scheduled by implementing the intelligent fuzzy logic and blockchain. The intelligent fuzzy logic based on different set of rules for making smart decisions to meet the watering requirements of plant and blockchain technology provides necessary security to the IoT-enabled system. The implementation of blockchain technology allows access only to the trusted devices and manages the network. From the experimentation, it is observed that the proposed system is highly scalable and secure. Multiple users at the same time can monitor and interact with the system remotely by using the proposed intelligent agricultural system. The decisions are taken by applying intelligent fuzzy logic based on input variables, and an alert is transmitted about watering requirements of a field to the user. The proposed system is capable of notifying users for turning water motor on and off. The experimental outcomes of the proposed system also reveal that it is an efficient and highly secure application, which is capable of handling the process of watering the plants.

Abstract

Objectives
This pilot randomized controlled experimental study was conducted to investigate effects of music on sleep quality and comfort levels of pregnant women.

Methods
The sample of the study consisted of 70 pregnant women who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study. The pregnant women were assigned to the music (n=35) and control groups (n=35). In the study, the musical pieces composed in Uşşak mode were played for the participants in the music group. The pregnant women in the music group were first asked to empty their bladder and then listen to music for 30 min in a semi-Fowler’s position with their head and shoulders raised 30°, in a quiet and dim environment, every other day for two weeks before going to sleep. The Pregnant Information Form, Prenatal Comfort Scale (PCS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index – 1 week (PSQI-1 week) were used to collect the study data.

Results
The analysis of the mean scores obtained from the overall PSQI-1 week by the pregnant women in the music and control groups by weeks demonstrated that there was a statistically significant difference between the music and control groups in the second week (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the mean scores they obtained from the overall PCS (p>0.05).

Conclusions
Music increased the sleep quality of the pregnant women in the music group, but had no effect on their comfort levels.
Simulation of cobalt-60 production in research reactors using OpenMC Monte Carlo code
Authors: Judaibi Abdulrahim , Soliman Abdelfattah Y. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Cobalt-60 is an artificial radioisotope with a wide range of applications in many industries for its high intensity gamma-rays and longer half-life. It may be produced in research reactors from the stable isotope cobalt-59 by neutron activation when a fission neutron is absorbed in the Co-59 nucleus. The ETRR-2 research reactor is designed with an in-core neutron flux trap that accommodates space for placement of an irradiation box, which makes it suitable for the production of radioisotopes as an in-core fixed facility. This simulation study compares the production yield of Co-60 for different Co-59 pencil configurations within the irradiation box inside the in-core neutron flux trap. IAEA reference for Co-60 specifications was used to set the comparison criteria for generating different configurations. Reactor geometry and calculations were carried out using OpenMC Monte Carlo code to obtain the effective multiplication factor Keff, the flux distribution, and the production yield of Co-60 with respect to time. Results show that the ETTR-2 is capable of producing Co-60 with a specific activity of 83.89 Ci g−1 in 263 ± 14 days following the placement of eight Co-59 pencils with 0.77 cm diameter, 32 cm in height, and 74.506 g each. It was also shown that a higher production rate may be achieved by decreasing the diameter of the pencils and increasing their number while Co-59 mass is kept constant.
