Zoom & WhatsApp Digital Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) Enhance Community Engaged Research with Women Immigrants from Mexico.

This article demonstrates how digital information and communication technologies (ICTs) (Zoom/WhatsApp) unexpectedly and counterintuitively proved to be valuable tools for community-engaged health research when, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, they were integrated into a research study testing a peer support group intervention with female immigrants from Mexico. Because of pandemic restrictions, we changed the study protocol to hold meetings remotely via Zoom rather than in person as originally planned. Because we recognized that this would lack some opportunities for participants to interact and develop relationships, we created a WhatsApp chat for each group. Despite challenges for participants to use ICTs and participant-stated preference for in-person meetings, the results demonstrated that participants overwhelmingly endorsed these technologies as promoting access, participation, engagement, and satisfaction. Zoom/WhatsApp created a valuable environment both as a method for conducting research with this population, but also as part of the intervention for immigrant women to support and learn from each other. ICT adaptations have now permanently changed the way we conduct community-engaged health research.

The crucial roles of ICT, renewable energy sources, industrialization, and institutional quality in achieving environmental sustainability in BRICS.

The BRICS countries-Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa-are committed to achieving United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13, which focuses on mitigating climate change. To attain this goal, it is crucial to emphasize the significance of ICT, renewable energy sources, industrialization, and institutional quality. This study contributes to the literature by examining the potential role of these factors in environmental sustainability in the BRICS economies from 2000 to 2021, utilizing cross-sectional augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) estimation and other novel econometric techniques. Accordingly, the study suggests that BRICS governments and policymakers prioritize the use of ICT in the industrial and institutional sectors to achieve faster environmental sustainability in the short-run, as per the CS-ARDL results. However, the study advises caution in the long-term as the interaction between ICT and renewable energy sources, industrialization, and institutional quality may not favour environmental quality. Although the renewable energy sources interaction with ICT may not yield immediate progress, strong measures need to be taken to ensure that short-term gains are not nullified. In conclusion, the study highlights the potential of ICT, renewable energy sources, industrialization, and institutional quality in achieving environmental sustainability in the BRICS countries, while recommending cautious measures in the long run to safeguard the progress made.

Absorption spectra of p-nitroaniline derivatives: charge transfer effects and the role of substituents.

CONTEXT: Push-pull compounds are model systems and have numerous applications. By changing their substituents, properties are modified and new molecules for different applications can be designed. The work investigates the gas-phase electronic absorption spectra of 15 derivatives of push-pull para-nitroaniline (pNA). This molecule has applications in pharmaceuticals, azo dyes, corrosion inhibitors, and optoelectronics. Both electron-donor and electron-withdrawing groups were investigated. Employing machine learning-derived Hammett's constants σm, σm0, σR, and σI, correlations between substituents and electronic properties were obtained. Overall, the σm0 constants presented the best correlation with HOMO and LUMO energies, whereas the σR constants best agreed with the transition energy of the first band and HOMO-LUMO energy gap. Electron-donors, which have lower σR values, redshift the absorption spectrum and reduce the HOMO-LUMO energy gap. Conversely, electron-withdrawing groups (higher σR's) blueshift the spectrum and increase the energy gap. The second band maximum energies, studied here for the first time, showed no correlation with σ but tended to increase with σ. A comprehensive charge transfer (CT) analysis of the main transition of all systems was also carried out. We found that donors (lower σ's) slightly enhance the CT character of the unsubstituted pNA, whereas acceptors (higher σ's) decrease it, leading to increased local excitations within the aromatic ring. The overall CT variation is not large, except for pNA-SO2H, which considerably decreases the total CT value. We found that the strong electron donors pNA-OH, pNA-OCH3, and pNA-NH2, which have the smallest HOMO-LUMO energy gaps and lowest σ's, have potential for optoelectronic applications. The results show that none of the studied molecules is fluorescent in the gas phase. However, pNA-NH2 and pNA-COOH in cyclohexane and water reveal fluorescence upon solvation. METHODS: We investigated theoretically employing the second-order algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC(2)) ab initio wave function and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) the gas-phase electronic absorption spectra of 15 derivatives of p-nitroaniline (pNA). The investigated substituents include both electron-donor (C6H5, CCH, CH3, NH2, OCH3, and OH,) and electron-withdrawing (Br, CCl3, CF3, Cl, CN, COOH, F, NO2, and SO2H) substituents.

An algorithm for visceral leishmaniasis diagnosis in Brazil from a 10-year analysis of National Reference Laboratory data.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) requires diagnostic assays to complement clinical suspicion. However, there is no standardization of a diagnostic flow using available assays. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of parasitological, molecular, and serological assays for diagnosing VL and propose a diagnostic flow based on performance, practicality, and invasiveness. We conducted a study of 10-year (2010-2020) routine diagnoses of VL at the Brazilian National Reference Laboratory. We propose a diagnostic flow where individuals suspected of VL are initially screened for antibodies using an immunochromatographic test (ICT) with rK39 antigen on the nitrocellulose membrane. This is followed by a blood polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Leishmania sp. kDNA and direct parasitological exam and/or PCR in bone marrow aspirate. A positive result in any of these assays can define a VL case. If clinical suspicion persists in negative individuals, the diagnostic flow should be repeated. The proposed flow has the potential to standardize and improve the diagnosis of VL. It reduces the need for invasive tests without compromising diagnostic accuracy.

Evaluation of a rapid diagnostic test for measles IgM detection; accuracy and the reliability of visual reading using sera from the measles surveillance programme in Brazil, 2015.

Laboratory-based case confirmation is an integral part of measles surveillance programmes; however, logistical constraints can delay response. Use of RDTs during initial patient contact could enhance surveillance by real-time case confirmation and accelerating public health response. Here, we evaluate performance of a novel measles IgM RDT and assess accuracy of visual interpretation using a representative collection of 125 sera from the Brazilian measles surveillance programme. RDT results were interpreted visually by a panel of six independent observers, the consensus of three observers and by relative reflectance measurements using an ESEQuant Reader. Compared to the Siemens anti-measles IgM EIA, sensitivity and specificity of the RDT were 94.9% (74/78, 87.4-98.6%) and 95.7% (45/47, 85.5-99.5%) for consensus visual results, and 93.6% (73/78, 85.7-97.9%) and 95.7% (45/47, 85.5-99.5%), for ESEQuant measurement, respectively. Observer agreement, determined by comparison between individuals and visual consensus results, and between individuals and ESEQuant measurements, achieved average kappa scores of 0.97 and 0.93 respectively. The RDT has the sensitivity and specificity required of a field-based test for measles diagnosis, and high kappa scores indicate this can be accomplished accurately by visual interpretation alone. Detailed studies are needed to establish its role within the global measles control programme.

A "fractal" expander-compressor-supplier formative research method on array processing.

In the present research the typical triangle on formative research was extended to a double triangle for an overall career programme (here expander/ compressor) and funnel proposal was explored in a single course (as a "fractal" method). Array processing and ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) techniques have been incorporated into a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) course and research projects. The present research question was: is it possible to insert array sensing on formative research in an undergraduate course of DSP? From over eight years, two semesters with different homework loads (homogeneous triangle vs expander-compressor-supplier distributions) were analysed in detail within the DSP evaluations and students chose between experimental applied analysis and a formative research project. Results showed that cognitive load was influenced positively in the expander-compressor-supplier distribution, showing that an increase of the efficiency undertook more undergraduate research on array processing and the decrease of the number of formative applied projects. Over a longer term (48 months) students undertook more undergraduate research works on array processing and DSP techniques.

Effectiveness of a digital application to improve stroke knowledge for kids.

INTRODUCTION: Stroke is highly prevalent in Latin America and one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Educating children about stroke has been established as an effective method to detect symptoms early, reduce hospital visits, and raise awareness among adults. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effectiveness of a mobile application to improve knowledge and understanding of stroke among children. METHOD: We conducted a focus group session including 12 children in order to analyze the behavior of 6 questions previously validated by expert neurologists. Subsequently, 105 primary school students between the ages of 7 and 12 completed a questionnaire on stroke symptoms and how to contact the emergency services before and after using an application on stroke symptoms. Qualitative analyses and the Student t test were used to verify the existence of differences between pre- and post-intervention test results. RESULTS: After a single 40-min working session with the application, between 50% and 67% of the children were able to identify the signs of stroke, and 96.2% knew the national emergency services telephone number. Statistical analysis revealed statistically significant differences before and after the intervention with the digital application (t=19.54; p<0.001) and intragroup differences in the post-intervention test results (t=40.71; p<0.001). CONCLUSION: Primary school children who used our digital application increased their knowledge, understanding, and learning of stroke symptoms.

ICT training for educators of Granada for working with people with autism.

Background: Innovative methodologies based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) are a tested and motivating option for working with people with autism. Their use, however, should not be indiscriminatory and arbitrary, but didactic and appropriate. Objective: We aimed to discover the training in ICT they had, its frequency of use, and the types of digital resources that they used. Methods: We administered the questionnaire, "Demands and Potentials of ICT and Apps for Assisting People with Autism" to 310 educators in the city of Granada (Spain). The participants belonged to schools and associations that worked with people with autism. Adopting a quantitative-type study, we carried out descriptive analyses (frequencies, mean, mode, and standard deviation). Having confirmed that the data did not follow a normal distribution (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for samples of >50 participants), we carried out non-parametric inferential and intrafactorial correlation analyses. We also calculated the effect size. Results: The educators revealed that they had ICT training for working with people with autism, but not enough. This suggests that there is still a need to improve the digital competence of these professionals. Strong, direct and significant correlations were found between ICT training and the frequency with which they were used. There were also statistically significant differences according to sex, gender, age, type of institution, and type of educator. The educators who worked as Therapeutic Pedagogy teachers and those who worked in Special Education schools were shown to be more competent than the rest in educational technology applied to people with autism. Conclusions: The results, which were not wholly positive since ICT training should be better and have achieved higher scores, revealed that there is a foundation in ICT education but it needs to be heightened and improved with greater knowledge and more practical experience.

ICT Training Perception of Professionals in Functional Diversity in Granada.

Training in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has become very valuable in the current educational panorama, given the proliferation of digital resources available in the formal and non-formal education context. Fortunately, the field of attention to diversity has also benefited from it. For this reason, it is essential that the professionals who attend to people with functional diversity have a good attitude towards them, as well as training in accordance with their requirements. The aim of this study was to analyse how professionals in Granada (Spain) perceived their ICT training. A total of 404 specialists who worked in the field of attention to diversity were interviewed. In general, participants showed a favourable opinion towards ICT but they expressed a medium-low perception of their digital training. Nevertheless, these results are encouraging, as younger teachers showed a more favourable opinion and training towards ICT. In the long term, this will be a generation that is more educated and aware of the benefits, applicability and usefulness of these resources for working with people with functional diversity.

Access to ICT at Argentine elementary school children's homes and its impact on school achievements.

This article analyzes the relationship between access to Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and school performance. It contributes to the empirical literature in the area since there is no consensus yet. Moreover, the context associated with COVID-19 pandemic also considers the analysis as the most relevant. The goal of this article is to study the impact of ICT on school performance at elementary level. The hypothesis set forth is that having both a computer and connection to Internet at the students' homes, improves their school related achievements. To contrast it, we propose an econometric model using the Propensity Matching Score (PSM) methodology with data from the Learning 2018 (Aprender 2018) campaign of students at the last year of elementary school in Argentina and in each of the regions that conform it. Finally, there is evidence in favor of the hypothesis.

Alimentação saudável com adolescentes por meio de tecnologia da informação e comunicação: revisão de escopo / Healthy eating with adolescents through information and communication technology: scoping review

A adolescência é caracterizada pelo período compreendido entre os 10 a 19 anos de idade. Essa é uma fase para que ocorra intervenções relacionadas à adoção de estilo de vida saudável, bem como sua importância e repercussão na saúde ao longo da vida. A tecnologia educacional em saúde torna-se uma das alternativas para se trabalhar com adolescentes, uma vez que possibilita a interação entre eles para promover hábitos saudáveis. Portanto, o presente estudo teve por objetivo mapear a produção científica nacional e internacional sobre alimentação saudável com adolescentes, mediada pelas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação (TIC). Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura do tipo escopo, estruturada na metodologia recomendada pelo Instituto Joanna Briggs e PRISMA-ScR. Com isso, foram adotadas as seguintes etapas: formulação de questões de pesquisa, definição dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, definição da estratégia de pesquisa, seleção de estudos/fontes de evidência, extração e codificação de dados, análise e interpretação de resultados. As bases de dados consultadas foram: Medline/Pubmed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Scopus, Embase e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS). Todo o processo de seleção de estudos também ocorreu em duplicata, de maneira independente. A pesquisa na base de dados resultou em 12.990 trabalhos, após a aplicação dos filtros iniciais e remoção das duplicatas, resultou em 7.898 documentos. Ao final, a amostra resultou em 20 artigos publicados em periódicos. Foi possível verificar que a maior parte da produção científica ocorreu em âmbito internacional, com destaque para estudos realizados no Estados Unidos da América e Canadá, sendo apenas um estudo conduzido em nível nacional. Além disso, a revisão apontou que as TIC são ferramentas que podem auxiliar a promoção de hábitos saudáveis, especialmente voltadas para o campo da alimentação. Apesar disso, é necessária uma visão crítica sobre o emprego dessas tecnologias, principalmente em relação ao conteúdo abordados. Assim, a partir desse estudo almeja-se contribuir com a construção de conhecimentos em relação ao uso de TIC voltadas para promoção da alimentação saudável com adolescentes (AU).

Adolescence is characterized by the period between 10 to 19 years of age. This is a phase for interventions related to the adoption of a healthy lifestyle, as well as its importance and impact on lifelong health. Educational technology in health becomes one of the alternatives to work with adolescents, as it enables interaction among them to promote healthy habits. Therefore, the present study aimed to map the national and international scientific production on healthy eating with adolescents, mediated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This is a scoping literature review, structured in the methodology recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR. Thus, the following steps were adopted: formulation of research questions, definition of inclusion and exclusion criteria, definition of the research strategy, selection of studies/evidence sources, data extraction and coding, analysis, and interpretation of results. The consulted databases were: Medline/Pubmed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Scopus, Embase, and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS). The entire study selection process also occurred in duplicate, independently. The database search resulted in 12,990 works, after the application of initial filters and removal of duplicates, resulting in 7,898 documents. In the end, the sample resulted in 20 articles published in journals. It was possible to verify that most of the scientific production occurred internationally, with emphasis on studies conducted in the United States of America and Canada, with only one study conducted at the national level. In addition, the review showed that ICT are tools that can assist in promoting healthy habits, especially in the field of nutrition. Despite this, a critical view is necessary regarding the use of these technologies, especially regarding the content addressed. Thus, from this study, it is intended to contribute to the construction of knowledge regarding the use of ICT aimed at promoting healthy eating with adolescents (AU).

Participação social na elaboração dos planos municipais de saúde em capitais brasileiras durante a pandemia de COVID-19 / Social participation in the elaboration of municipal health plans in Brazilian capitals during the COVID-19 pandemic

Resumo Este trabalho objetiva analisar se o processo de construção dos planos municipais de saúde (PMS) 2022-2025 das 26 capitais brasileiras e do Distrito Federal (DF) previu a inclusão de tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs) para viabilizar a participação cidadã. Foram analisados 37 documentos publicados nos 27 sites das secretarias municipais de Saúde (SMS), à luz da concepção teórica do postulado da coerência, elaborado por Mario Testa para análise do processo de planejamento em saúde. Os resultados evidenciam que dez secretarias adotaram estratégias de mobilização da participação social remota na elaboração do PMS e somente nove disponibilizaram canais virtuais de consulta pública para definição de prioridades no contexto pandêmico. A partir dos documentos analisados, não se identificou a adoção de estratégias pelas SMS, como tendas virtuais, concessão de auxílio para acesso à internet, tablets, espaços para acessos itinerantes, entre outras, como forma de viabilizar e fomentar uma participação social mais abrangente em tempos de crise sanitária.

Abstract This objective work sets out to analyze whether the construction process of the 2022-2025 Municipal Health Plans (MHP) of the 26 Brazilian capitals and the Federal District (FD) provided for the inclusion of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to enable citizen participation. A total of 37 documents published on the 27 websites of the municipal health secretariats (MHS) were analyzed, in the light of the theoretical concept of the Postulate of coherence, elaborated by Mario Testa for analysis of the health planning process. The results show that ten secretariats adopted strategies to monitor remote social participation in the preparation of the MHP and only nine provided virtual channels for public consultation to define priorities in the context of the pandemic. From the documents analyzed, the adoption of MHS strategies was not identified, such as virtual tents, granting assistance for internet access, tablets, spaces for itinerant access, among others, as a way to enable and encourage broader social participation, in health crisis situations.

Estrategia para la formación investigativa de los estudiantes de Estomatología con el uso de las TIC

Introducción: El uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y las Comunicaciones (TIC) en el proceso de formación investigativa constituye una necesidad para el logro de cambios cualitativos esenciales en la adquisición de conocimientos y habilidades investigativas en los estudiantes. Diagnósticos desarrollados evidenciaron insuficiencias en el desarrollo de la formación investigativa, así como en la concepción de las tareas investigativas en el plan de estudio, que imposibilitan alcanzar los niveles deseados de creatividad. Objetivo: Diseñar una estrategia orientada al desarrollo de la formación investigativa del estudiante de Estomatología soportado en el uso de las TIC. Método: Se realizó una investigación educativa utilizando los métodos empíricos: observación, la encuesta y la entrevista, así como teóricos: inducción-deducción, análisis-síntesis, histórico-lógico, hermenéutico dialéctico, además, del taller de socialización para corroborar la factibilidad de la estrategia propuesta. Resultados: Se propuso una estrategia para la gestión investigativa con el uso de las TIC en la formación investigativa de estudiantes de Estomatología, integrada por tres momentos, etapas y acciones encaminadas al desarrollo de una cultura científico-investigativa-tecnológica sustentada en el uso de las TIC. Conclusiones: La instrumentación de esta propuesta en la práctica pedagógica ha demostrado su factibilidad y la contribución a la formación investigativa de los estudiantes para una mejor solución de los problemas profesionales y, por consiguiente, mayor calidad en la atención de los pacientes que acuden a los servicios estomatológicos.

Introduction: The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the research training process constitutes basic needs for students to achieve the essential qualitative changes in the acquisition of knowledge and research skills required. Diagnostics produces carried out showed insufficiencies in the research training process, as well as in the real conception of research tasks implemented in the study program, reducing the possibility to reach the desired levels of creativity. Objective: Elaborate a design strategy aimed to develop the research training process of oral medicine students with the use of the ICT. Method: An educational research was carried out using empirical methods pointed as follow: observation, survey and interview, as well as the theoretical methods: induction-deduction, analysis-synthesis, historical-logical, dialectical hermeneutic, in addition a socialization workshop was used to corroborate the feasibility of the proposal strategy. Results: A strategy for research management with the use of ICTs in the research training of oral medicine students was proposed, consisting on three moments, stages and actions aimed at developing a scientific-research-technological culture based on the use of ICTs. Conclusions: The implementation of this proposal, as a pedagogical practice, has demonstrated its feasibility and contribution in the development of the student research training, and also for a better solution of professional problems and, consequently, higher quality in their care practice with the patients attended in dental services.
