title: The growing international relevance of Ambiente & Água according to Scopus CiteScore results

description: ABSTRACT The Ambiente & Água Journal has adopted strategies in recent years to increase its relevance within the international scientific community. The results of CiteScore, recently released for the triennium ending in 2020, indicate that the journal’s strategies are starting to show good results. Evidence of an increase in the proportion between the number of citations received versus the number of documents published is corroborated by the impact indicators from other sources, such as the Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) and Leiden University’s Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS) Impact per Publication (IPP). Also positive is the fact that the journal's impact is increasing even with the increase in the number of papers published, contrary to the strategy adopted by some journals that limit the number of papers in order to increase the journal's impact.

title: Do dental bleaching sessions prior to orthodontic treatment change the bond strength of esthetic brackets?

description: ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this experimental in vitro study was to evaluate whether dental bleaching performed before orthodontic treatment change the shear bond strength (SBS) of monocrystalline and polycrystalline esthetic brackets. Methods: Sixty (60) bovine incisors teeth were used and randomly divided into the following six groups (n=10): SCP (without bleaching/polycrystalline brackets); SCM (without bleaching/monocrystalline brackets); 1CP (one bleaching session/polycrystalline brackets); 1CM (one bleaching session/monocrystalline brackets); 3CP (three bleaching sessions/polycrystalline brackets); and 3CM (three bleaching sessions/monocrystalline brackets). The brackets were bonded seven days after the bleaching sessions. The samples were submitted to the SBS test in a universal testing machine (Instron model 4411) at 1 mm/min crosshead speed. The two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey tests were performed at a 5% level of significance. After the mechanical test, samples were evaluated to determine the adhesive remnant index (ARI). Results: The SBS values were significantly higher for the monocrystalline brackets, when compared with the polycrystalline type (p&lt; 0.0001), and significantly higher with three bleaching sessions than without bleaching (p&lt; 0.0436). The ARI showed predominance of failures between the bracket and resin for all the groups (score 3). Conclusion: Three dental bleaching sessions increased the SBS values. Monocrystalline brackets showed higher SBS values than the polycrystalline type.

title: Assessing the technical efficiency of Brazil’s teaching hospitals using data envelopment analysis

description: Abstract The general objective of this study was to assess the technical efficiency of Brazil’s teaching hospitals using data envelopment analysis (DEA). To this end, a quantitative exploratory study was conducted with secondary data from the national health information system (DATASUS) using an output-oriented DEA model. The study population consisted of 29 large-sized teaching hospitals located in the country’s Center-West, South, Southeast, and North regions. Twelve hospitals were shown to be on the efficient frontier (technically efficient) and 17 were off the frontier. Absolute efficiency values were calculated for the hospitals that were off the frontier, using benchmarks with weighting for benchmarking. Private for-profit hospitals were shown to be the most efficient, followed by private not-for-profit and public facilities. The findings of this study suggest that DEA has potential for assessing technical efficiency in hospital settings in relation to operational capacity.

title: Theoretical-methodological model based on Complex Network Theory for the analysis of the potential provision of health services

description: Abstract The scope of this article is to present a theoretical-methodological model as the basis for the analysis of the potential provision of Brazilian public health services (SUS) using an approach based on complex network theory. The model sought to analyze the potential provision of health services through the relationship of Euclidean distance between census sectors and services offered by health facilities, as defined in the National Register of Health Establishments (CNES). Two types of metrics are proposed for the analysis of the relationship network: the average distance of health services to the census sectors and the importance of the health unit in the potential provision of each type of service based on the centrality and availability of this service. To demonstrate the application of the model, a network was built based in the Metropolitan Area of Brasilia, including the Federal District and 12 surrounding municipalities. The model was able to map and analyze CNES data with census sectors defined in the CENSUS, opening up the possibility of constructing new perspectives of analysis in the understanding of the potential distribution of health resources and services according to socioeconomic variables, as well as an important evidence-based management tool.

title: Between sociocultural and dietary norms: the lunch for Brazilian, Spanish and French dietitians and laywomen

description: Abstract Over the course of the past few decades, the scientific rationale on nutrition has consolidated, intensifying the dissemination of dietary norms that dictate what and when to eat to guarantee good health. There is an increase in the interconnection between dietary norms and sociocultural norms. This study seeks to understand this link through the analysis of discourses of Brazilian, Spanish and French dietitians and laywomen. With this in mind, the sociocultural and dietary norms related to the midday meal were analyzed. Comparative and qualitative synchronous methodology, based on 131 semi-structured individual interviews, was used. The discourses of the informants were cross-checked with the public health messages on nutrition of each country. The analyses revealed that each nationality has particular codes that define the specifics of each meal, from the sociocultural and dietary point of view. The definition of a “healthy” meal depends on factors ranging from the nutritional and physiological to the social, cultural and symbolic dimensions linked to each meal model, determining the rituals, frequency, use and classification of food products. Thus, the norms that define what is perceived as healthy similarly result from sociocultural normative systems.

title: PERCEPTION OF HARASSMENT AMONG FEMALE SURGEONS

description: ABSTRACT Introduction: the attraction of women by Surgery has always existed. Although Surgery has been considered a specialty for men, several women chose it, despite gender bias issues that have persisted over many years. Several obstacles have impacted the practice of women surgeons, leading them to abandon the profession, while others, perhaps bearers of a stronger spirit, managed to overcome them, and won. Objective: to assess the rates of perception of harassment against female surgeons as a cause of difficulty and negative feelings related to the specialty. Methods: we conducted a quantitative and qualitative (personal accounts) research through a questionnaire via Google Forms® sent to all women surgeons registered in the Brazilian College of Surgeons and in a WhatsApp women surgeons’ groups. The qualitative analysis was made with the Wordle® app. Results: from 821 questionnaires sent, we obtained 232 responses (28.2%). Harassment perception during training was 49.1% (n=114). From the women surgeons who perceived harassment, 56.1% reported having undergone different training than expected, with statistical significance (p&lt;0.001). The question of having been treated differently due to being a woman also had an impact on harassment perception (77.2% harassed vs 47.5%; p&lt;0.001). Physical (42.1% vs 6.8%) and emotional (92.1% vs 39.8%) threats were also different between groups. Conclusion: women surgeons still report great harassment perception, both moral and sexual, which impacts their feelings about the specialty.

title: Spatial analysis as a tool for identification of priority intervention areas for syphilis prevention

description: Abstract The spatial analysis of syphilis constitutes a tool capable of contributing to the establishment of guidelines for action in priority geographic areas for preventive intervention. The scope of the article was to describe the scientific evidence that used geoprocessing as a tool to identify risk areas for syphilis. This is an integrative review of the literature, carried out in the Medline/PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Lilacs, Ibecs, Cochrane Library Portal, SciELO, Cuiden and Bdenf databases through cross-referencing between the key words “syphilis,” “spatial analysis,” “geographical information system,” “health education” and “geographical mapping.” A total of 13 articles were analyzed and in most of them syphilis cases were distributed in a heterogeneous manner, not obeying a unique epidemiological profile in relation to the units of analysis. Discordant ecological and spatial effects between syphilis and HIV and the viability of the integrated screening of syphilis with other diseases was revealed. Efficacy and ability of spatial analysis to target specific educational interventions for each reality were revealed, avoiding investment in geographically non-priority areas for syphilis control.

title: Overcrowding of emergency services in the city of Bogotá: a systemic understanding of the problem

description: Abstract Emergency overcrowding is often associated with issues of inefficiency in care. However, this work focuses on another relevant aspect, namely care of non-urgent patients. In order to understand the dynamics associated with this aspect, a conceptual model of systems dynamics is constructed, based on the characterization of users and their decision criteria. A descriptive study was conducted based on a structured survey; additionally, binomial logistic regression and analysis of variance were used to estimate probability of emergency department visits and to define differences among users. The following criteria are relevant: service effectiveness, availability of medications and exams, and proximity to the emergency center. The waiting time is more significant for pediatric patients and the availability of medications and exams is also more prevalent for middle-income users; the latter attributes less importance to cost compared to low income. The model shows that resources create a virtuous or a vicious cycle of users waiting for care in both emergency and priority care (PC) centers. The proposal suggested is for segregation for pediatric users in PC centers and the promotion of user confidence in alternative options to emergency centers.
