IntroductionThe aim of the study was to compare the image noise, radiation dose, and image quality of ultra-low-dose computed tomography (CT) and standard CT in the imaging of pulmonary pathologies.Material and methodsThis observational study was performed between July 2020 and August 2021. All enrolled patients underwent both ultra-low-dose and standard CTs. The image noise, image quality for normal pulmonary structures, presence or absence of various pulmonary lesions, and radiation dose were recorded for each of the scans. The findings of standard-dose CT were regarded as the gold standard and compared with that of ultra-low-dose CT.ResultsA total of 124 patients were included in the study. The image noise was higher in the ultra-low-dose CT compared to standard-dose CT. The overall image quality was determined to be diagnostic in 100% of standard CT images and in 96.77% of ultra-low-dose CT images with proportional worsening of the image quality as the body mass index (BMI) range was increased. Ultra-low-dose CT offered higher (> 90%) sensitivity for lesions like consolidation (97%), pleural effusion (95%), fibrosis (92%), and solid pulmonary nodules (91%). The effective radiation dose (mSv) was many times lower in ultra-low-dose CT when compared to standard-dose CT (mean ± SD: 0.50 ± 0.005 vs. 3.99 ± 1.57).ConclusionsThe radiation dose of ultra-low-dose chest CT was almost equal to that of a chest X-ray. It could be used for the screening and/or follow-up of patients with solid pulmonary nodules (> 3 mm) and consolidation.

Весьма актуальной становится задача принудительного удаления с орбит крупных космических объектов (КО), например, с помощью специальных космических аппаратов (КА) захвата. Успешность проведения подобной операции, требующей сближения КА-захватчика и физического контакта с подлежащим удалению КО, зависит от параметров собственного движения КО относительно его центра масс, в частности, от угловой скорости его вращения. Предлагается метод оперативного определения направления и величины угловой скорости вращения КО на основе анализа изменения ширины спектра радиолокационного (РЛ) эхо-сигнала, полученного от двух смежных прохождений зон действия наземных РЛ станций на одном витке. Показаны основные ограничения использования метода. Предложенный метод может применяться в условиях отсутствия априорной информации о КО или обучающей выборки, а так же использоваться в автоматическом режиме работы РЛС для оперативной оценки параметров собственного вращения КО.
The problem of forced removal of large space debris (SD) from their orbits, for example, with the help of a special capture spacecraft becomes relevant. The success of such an operation which requires the approach of the “automatic arm” to the space object (SO) to be removed also depends on the parameters of the SO. A method is proposed here for quick identification of the direction and magnitude of the angular velocity of rotation of the SO based on the analysis of the change in the spectrum width of the radar echo signal obtained from two adjacent passages of the polar patterns of ground- based radar stations. The main limitations of the method application are shown. The proposed method can be applied in the absence of a priori information on the SO to be removed or a training sample, and can also be used in the automatic mode of the radar for prompt estimation of the parameters of the SO attitude motion.

Authors: Guimarães Rebeca Câmara , Coelho Leandro Alves 
Published: December 2022

Em 1943, surgiu na Justiça do Trabalho a figura do Jus Postulandi, trazido pela Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho, o instituto é uma prerrogativa da parte de ingressar em uma ação judicial trabalhista sem um advogado legalmente constituído, sendo expressa tal possibilidade nos artigos 791 e 839 da CLT. Estes artigos, embora, muito questionados sobre sua constitucionalidade e sobre as consequências de sua utilização pelas partes em um processo judicial trabalhista, é adotado na maioria das hipóteses previstas em lei infraconstitucional. Com isto, o presente artigo, busca analisar a eficiência do jus postulandi ao acesso à justiça na seara trabalhista, com a apresentação do jus postulandi na Consolidação das Lei do Trabalho, e com isso, identificar eventual inconstitucionalidade do instituto, e desse modo, indicar o posicionamento dos doutrinadores e Tribunais Superiores acerca do assunto, analisar os reflexos da Reforma Trabalhista no instituto do jus postulandi e por fim, indicar a atribuição da Defensoria Pública da União na Justiça do Trabalho. A metodologia utilizada no presente artigo foi a revisão bibliográfica, pois tem sua égide em obras doutrinárias, documentos e artigos científicos já publicados, todos de textos discorridos e de língua portuguesa, utilizando – se, assim, um acervo de livros de no máximo 23 anos, tendo como prioridade os últimos 10 anos, apesar do lapso temporal, o mesmo não apresenta obstáculos para a consecução do tema ora analisado.

Authors: Furtado Alessa Aparecida Costa , Goulart Libia Kicela 
Published: December 2022

Este artigo buscou discutir a forma como as evoluções tecnológicas proporcionaram novos modelos de comunicação. Dito isto, as mídias sociais trouxeram dinamismo e agilidade na propagação da informação, potencializando as capacidades comunicativas dos indivíduos. Os profissionais de saúde, nesse contexto, aderiram ao marketing e à publicidade no meio digital, graças à maior oportunidade de se comunicarem com seus potencias clientes. A divulgação dessa informação através das redes sociais está sujeita a uma série de restrições, com o objetivo de prevenir a comercialização da atividade e a ocorrência de danos à saúde e ao bem-estar da população. O Código de Ética Médica e as Resoluções do Conselho Federal de Medicina orientam sobre os limites da divulgação para evitar que o médico se autopromova ou anuncie seu trabalho de forma sensacionalista. A inobservância da ética médica na publicidade nas redes sociais pode gerar o dever de indenizar? Deste modo, o presente estudo visa analisar a inobservância da ética médica nas redes sociais, sob a ótica da responsabilidade civil, ponderando sobre a publicidade, seus princípios, e limites. Logo, o objetivo específico do trabalho é discorrer acerca dos aspectos gerais da publicidade na legislação pátria, das limitações da publicidade no exercício da medicina, bem como da responsabilidade civil do médico que atua como influenciador digital. Conclui-se então, que o CDC (Código de Defesa do Consumidor) e o Manual de Publicidade Médica são instrumentos basilares e visam impedir a publicação de conteúdo enganoso ou abusivo, que podem levar a responsabilização civil do profissional.

This reasearch tries to find out the word from English and Indonesian language which have reduplication word. In the communication process, reduplication word always used in our daily activty. The data of this written were taken form dictionary and oral communication. The researcher compares both of the language to find the similarities and differnces from the reduplication process by using descriptive qualitavite method. The reduplication shows the change of word identity and category like in full reduplication (bye-bye, buku-buku), reduplication with vowel changes (zig-zag, bolak-balik), and reduplication with consonant changes (walkie-talkie, sayur-mayur). The basic form of the word is always present in language use, the meaning of the basic form of the word is always related to the meaning of the word affixed. Then the words after having reduplication process have a new meaning specially in English and Indonesian language.

Histories of Environmental Coalition Building in British Columbia
Authors: Harter John-Henry 
Published: December 2022

On 3 February 1989, leaders of the British Columbia labour movement, members of the environmental movement, and representatives from the Nuu-chah-nulth-aht Tribal Council (ntc) gathered to meet at Tin Wis, the ntc meeting space, in Tofino, BC, to discuss an alliance around environmental issues on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. This article takes this meeting, and subsequent alliance, as a way to explore the impact, potential, and contested meanings of alliances forged among workers, environmentalists, and First Nations in British Columbia in the late 20th century and beyond. In this way, the article examines from a historical perspective what sociologists have framed as the period of new social movements.

Introduction: The risk factors influencing the natural course of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are complex and heterogeneous. Recognizing the factors associated with CKD progression can enable the identification of high-risk patients for more intensive treatment.
Patients and methods: A retrospective evaluation of CKD patients was performed under follow-up between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2016 at a tertiary health care center.
Results: Among 5370 screened patients, 1020 patients with complete data were included in the analysis. The median follow-up period for the studied patients was 9.3 years. Based on the analysis, 120 (11.8%) patients had reached end-stage kidney disease “ESKD” or death. The study revealed that the risk factors associated with reaching ESKD and/or death using Kaplan–Meier survival curve and log rank test included higher hemoglobin A1c among diabetic patients, higher grade of proteinuria, and non use of renin-angiotensin system blockers. The patients with CKD progression constituted 77.2% of all CKD patients. The study findings indicated that older age, Arab ethnicity, smoking habit, diabetes mellitus and hypertension (presumed as original kidney diseases) are among the significant risk factors associated with a further decline of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and further CKD progression.
Conclusion: This study summarized the demographic and clinical risk factors associated with CKD progression and patients’ outcomes among a unique and heterogeneous population in the state of Qatar. Intensive treatment of modifiable risk factors could be of value in halting the progression of CKD. However, prospective studies are warranted to confirm our findings.
HAKIKAT TUTURAN TONIS: BENTUK LEGITIMASI RITUAL DALAM MASYARAKAT TIMOR DAWAN
Authors: Nitbani Semuel 
Published: December 2022

Salah satu unsur budaya masyarakat Timor Dawan adalah tuturan tonis. Jenis tuturan ini memiliki ciri bahasa dan unsur ‘pelisanan’ yang khas yang dilaksanakan dalam berbagai jenis ritual baik yang bersifat sosial maupun yang bersifat relijius. Bahkan, tuturan tonis itu sendiri adalah inti dan puncak pelaksanaan setiap acara resmi secara adat dan ritual dalam masyarakat ini. Tonis digolongkan kedalam jenis sastra ungkapan karena teks sastra ini terbentuk dari unsur-unsur imajinasi, kata kongkret, gaya bahasa, diksi, irama yang menjadi satu keutuhan dan keterpaduan untuk menjalankan fungsi-fungsi ekspresif, tematis, dan fungsi sosial dalam masyarakat pemiliknya. Sebagai teks lisan, tuturan tonis terdiri atas atau terbentuk dari adanya bentuk bahasa, artikulasi, volume suara, nada dan intonasi, ekspresi dan gerak fisik. Secara umum, isi tonis mencakup unsur dan perangkat-perangkat dalam wujud pernyataan-pernyataan yang isinya adalah tentang orang, tempat, dan peristiwa berdasarkan sejarah, kepercayaan, tema-tema kehidupan, keadaan dan hukum alam, hukum adat, norma-norma kemanusiaan, dan budaya. Sebagai teks, tonis ada dan berfungsi karena memiliki makna dan nilai. Itu berarti bahwa baik atau buruknya tonis didasarkan pada kemampun pembentukan makna atau ‘pembermaknaan’ dan kemampuan pembentukan nilai atau kemampuan ‘pembernilaian’ oleh penutur tonis atau atonis melalui kemampuan memanfaatkan perangkat-perangkat tonis dan kemampuan vokal, kontak, dan visual dalam penyajian atau pelantunan tonis.
