title: Catheter Ablation is Superior to Antiarrhythmic Drugs as First-Line Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

description: Abstract Background Catheter ablation is a well-established therapy for rhythm control in patients who are refractory or intolerant to anti-arrhythmic drugs (AAD). Less is known about the efficacy of catheter ablation compared with AAD as a first-line strategy for rhythm control in atrial fibrillation (AF). Objectives We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of catheter ablation vs. AAD in patients naïve to prior rhythm control therapies. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for randomized controlled trials that compared catheter ablation to AAD for initial rhythm control in symptomatic AF and reported the outcomes of (1) recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs); (2) symptomatic AF; (3) hospitalizations; and (4) symptomatic bradycardia. Heterogeneity was examined with I2statistics. P values of &lt; 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results We included five trials with 994 patients, of whom 502 (50.5%) underwent catheter ablation. Mean follow-up ranged from one to five years. Recurrences of AT (OR 0.36; 95% CI 0.25-0.52; p&lt;0.001) and symptomatic AF (OR 0.32; 95% CI 0.18-0.57; p&lt;0.001), and hospitalizations (OR 0.25; 95% CI 0.15-0.42; p&lt;0.001) were significantly less frequent in patients treated with catheter ablation compared with AAD. Symptomatic bradycardia was not significantly different between groups (OR 0.55; 95% CI 0.18-1.65; p=0.28). Significant pericardial effusions or tamponade occurred in eight of 464 (1.7%) patients in the catheter ablation group. Conclusion These findings suggest that catheter ablation has superior efficacy to AAD as an initial rhythm control strategy in patients with symptomatic AF.

title: Temporal and spatial patterns in the detection of veterinary drug residues in poultry and swine in Brazil

description: Abstract Food Safety is an important topic for public health and international trade in food. Residues of veterinary drugs and environmental contaminants in animal products can cause diseases and acute toxicity in organisms exposed to these substances. This study evaluated official monitoring data of veterinary drug residues from the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply in tissues of poultry and swine in the period between 2002 and 2014 to check for hidden patterns in the occurrence of six common drugs (Closantel, Diclazuril, Nicarbazin, Sulfaquinoxaline, Doxycycline and Sulfamethazinein). The analysis of data was performed by using two machine learning methods: decision tree and neural networks, in addition to visual evaluation through graphs and maps. Contamination rates were low, varying from 0 to 0.66%. A spatial distribution pattern of detections of substances by region was identified, but no pattern of temporal distribution was observed. Nevertless, regressions showed an increase in levels when these substances were detected, so monitoring should continue. However, the results show that the products monitored during the study period presented a low risk to public health.

title: The rise and fall of live online music event consumption during the pandemic: an analysis from the perspective of practice theory

description: Abstract The phenomenon of watching live online music events became popular during the COVID-19 pandemic as a leisure activity practiced at home while social distancing. For 3 months, they were part of the routine of Brazilians and foreigners, before exponentially losing their audience. This trajectory is the object of research for this paper, studied under the prism of practice theory to understand the elements that form this consumption practice, its synchrony with other everyday practices, and external phenomena that act in the consolidation (or not) of a practice. In-depth interviews were conducted with 24 practitioners, and the results were analyzed through a thematic analysis. The findings provide clues as to why the practice declined, emphasizing the overlapping of practices belonging to the routine created during social distancing and the reduction of the initial originality (understanding) of more intimate lives that get lost in the search for innovations in practice. Possible developments in the future of post-pandemic live events and theoretical and managerial contributions are also discussed.

title: SUSTAINABLE HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND THE IMPACTS ON ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT

description: ABSTRACT This paper aims to identify the impact of sustainable human resource management (SHRM) practices on organizational commitment (OC). The study used a sample of 290 employees linked to six companies classified in the Bovespa Sustainability Index. The research hypotheses were tested based on a structural model, using the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. The results show that SHRM practices are represented by three dimensions: attraction and retention of professionals, maintaining healthy and motivated professionals, and developing the skills of professionals. These practices have a significant and positive impact on affective commitment (AC) and normative commitment (NC). Besides, the AC stands out as a partial mediator of the relationship between SHRM practices and NC.

title: Evaluation of environmental parameters in a microregion in southern Amazonas State, Brazil, and their relationship with heat stress in dairy cattle

description: Abstract Environmental thermal comfort provides higher efficiency in the exploitation of dairy farming, as the responses of animals to the environment are decisive in the activity’s success. This study aimed to evaluate heat stress in dairy cows in the municipality of Humaitá, located in the south of theAmazonas State (AM), Brazil.Air temperature (TA) and relative humidity (RH) data were used to calculate the temperature humidity index (THI) in the dry (August 2020) and rainy seasons (January 2021). The August data were collected at the automatic weather station belonging to the National Institute of Meteorology. The January data were collected by a Hobo® U23-001 thermo-hygrometer installed at Fazenda Nossa Senhora Aparecida. The hourly and monthly means of the data were calculated and, subsequently, boxplots were plotted. TA and RH were 0.65 °C and 0.64% below the provisional climatological normal (PCN), respectively, for August, while January presented 0.77 °C and 3.61% above the PCN, respectively. THI values ranged from 56.25 (comfortable) to 84.68 (emergency) in August and 74.15 (comfortable) to 84.07 (emergency) in January. The maximum THI was observed in August, as well as the largest range. The results allow inferring that heat stress in dairy cows in the municipality of Humaitá-AM presents a state of alert even for cross-breed animals. Thus, the use of shading in pastures is suggested to minimize the effect of heat stress on the productive performance of the animals.

title: Hygiene standards and appropriations in the consolidation of bathrooms in São Paulo dwellings (1890−1930)

description: ABSTRACT This paper explores the relationship between the domestic space, technologies and hygienist policies in the city of São Paulo, between the late 19th century and early 20th century. In analyzing the requests for new housing constructions in the period, we observe a rapid transformation of housing according to salubrity and cleanliness precepts, particularly the creation of a new environment in the residential program: the bathroom. Based on this observation, the article is divided into two parts: the first discusses how sanitary policies made the presence of a sanitary room mandatory in São Paulo’s houses by implementing water and sewage services for households, supported by legislation and inspection. The second examines the social appropriation of this new space, as well as of its equipment, revealing that the consolidation of the bathroom should be understood in light of changes in bodily practices linked to the ideas of hygiene, cleanliness and comfort under discussion at the time.

title: Trade liberalization and industry: what to expect and what we have been getting

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of trade liberalization on the Brazilian manufacturing industry over the 1989-96 period. To this end, a series of indicators was built which shed light on the technical efficiency and allocational effects of the liberalization. The results obtained suggest that the impacts were, in general, positive and consistent with both predictions of the literature of the international trade and the pattern of Brazil’s industrialization. Yet, they also point to a number of challenges to be faced by State, particularly, with regard to the imperfections that affect international trade in manufacturing and that threaten the gains from trade.

title: Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index Predicts Major Cardiovascular Adverse Events in Patients with ST-Segment Elevated Myocardial Infarction

description: Abstract Background The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) has been reported as a new prognostic marker in tumors and cardiovascular diseases Objective To investigate the association of SII with adverse cardiovascular events in patients with ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted on 843 patients with STEMI. Patients were divided into two groups based on the median value of SII. Major adverse cardiovascular events were compared between SII groups. Cox regression analysis was used for detecting independent predictors of cardiovascular adverse events. The improvement of discrimination ability by adding SII to the traditional risk factors such as age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and male gender for major adverse events was calculated by c-statistics, integrated discrimination improvement, and net reclassification improvement. A two-sided p-value &lt;0.05 was considered significant. Results High SII group was older than the low SII group (61.2±11.2, 59.2±7.9, respectively, p=0.002). The high SII group had higher rates of cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, hospitalization for heart failure, revascularization, and composite major adverse cardiovascular events than the low SII group. SII was an independent predictor of all events mentioned above. Adding SII to traditional risk factors improved their discrimination ability for cardiovascular events. SII was superior to the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to- lymphocyte ratios for predicting cardiovascular adverse events. Conclusion SII was an independent predictor of major adverse events in patients with STEMI and may be used to improve the prediction of adverse events, especially when combined with traditional risk factors.

title: Efficiency wages, insiders-outsiders and wages determination: theories and evidence

description: ABSTRACT The article discusses alternative explanations for the rigidity of real wages in the presence of involuntary unemployment. It is argued that real wage rigidity can be viewed as the result of two factors: (i) trade unions’ bargaining power, in the form of insider power; and (ii) the deliberate action of firms which try to avoid the costs associated with labour turnover. The article also presents recent empirical evidence on the importance of insider factors in the process of wage determination for a number of countries.

title: Abnormal Circadian Blood Pressure Variation is Associated with SYNTAX Scores in Hospitalized Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

description: Abstract Background Blunted nocturnal blood pressure (BP) reduction, referred to as non-dipper hypertension, is a strong predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the relationship between non-dipper hypertension and the severity and complexity of coronary artery disease using SYNTAX score in hospitalized patients with acute coronary syndrome. Methods A total of 306 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome were screened. Patients who were clinically stable and admitted to the intermediate intensive care unit at least 24 hours after angiography and/or successful revascularization. After the exclusion criteria, 141 patients (34 female and 107 male; mean age 61 ± 11 years) were included. Non-dipper hypertension has been defined as a 0% to 10% decrease in average systolic BP at nighttime compared to daytime, measured at hourly intervals using the same automatic BP measuring device on bedside monitors (Vismo PVM-2701; Nihon Kohden Corp., Tokyo, Japan). SYNTAX score was calculated with an online calculator. The independent predictors of SYNTAX score were assessed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. P &lt; 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The patients with non-dipper hypertension had higher SYNTAX score than the patients with dipper hypertension (11.12 ± 6.41 versus 6.74 ± 6.45, p &lt; 0.0001). In a multivariable logistic regression model, non-dipper hypertension status (odds ratio: 5.159; 95% confidence interval: 2.246 to 11.852, p &lt; 0.001), sex (p = 0.012) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.008) emerged as independent predictors of high SYNTAX score. Conclusions The results of our study provide a possible additional mechanism linking abnormal circadian BP profile with coronary artery disease severity and complexity in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
