ABSTRACT

Objective: This study aimed to assess the objective understanding of five front-of-pack label formats, namely the Reference Intake, Multiple Traffic Light label, Nutri-Score, health endorsement logo and warning label, among consumers in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa. Design: This was a cross-sectional, exploratory study. Setting: Interviewer-administered surveys were conducted at 12 randomly selected food retail outlets in an urban setting.Subjects: A total of 359 adult participants were included in this study. Outcome measures: Objective understanding was measured by asking participants to rank food products according to their nutritional quality, using the displayed front-of-pack label. Results: The type of front-of-pack label significantly influenced ranking ability (p < 0.00001). All the evaluative front-of-pack labels significantly improved the participants' ability to identify healthier food products compared with the no-label control. The reductive Reference Intake, however, showed no significant impact on consumer understanding. Conclusion: Evaluative front-of-pack labels significantly improved the participants' ability to identify healthier food products, when compared with the Reference Intake and no-label control. Future research should test the objective understanding of culturally diverse groups in South Africa, particularly among rural populations.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Pensando em melhoria na saúde das populações, é indispensável para as equipes de CTBMF e gestores de saúde o conhecimento dos perfis epidemiológicos. O objetivo desse estudo foi estratificar etiologias, ossos mais afetados e possíveis padrões recorrentes entre 2016 e 2019, contabilizá los, analisá-los e então fundamentar sistemas de gestão e ferramentas de melhorias a fim de aumentar eficiência operacional da cadeia de saúde. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo que analisou 233 pacientes vitimados com trauma facial e necessitaram de abordagem cirúrgica entre dezembro de 2016 e dezembro de 2019 no Hospital Governador Celso Ramos. Resultados: Ao total de 447 fraturas, 85,83% ocorreram no sexo masculino. A média de idade foi 32,42 e o grupo etário mais acometido o de 21 aos 30 anos. Etiologia mais prevalente foi agressão física, representando 42% dos pacientes. Em comparação com os anos, houve uma tendência preocupante de ascensão nos índices. Conclusões: Os níveis de violência impressionam. Este trabalho direciona um alerta sobre danos graves evitáveis relacionados a agressões e acidentes de trânsito. É imperativo que as gestões públicas desenvolvam políticas no intuito de mitigar riscos e desperdício de recursos, assegurando tratamento, reabilitação e sobretudo prevenção eficaz... (AU)


Introduction: To think over population health improvement, it is all-important that OMFS teams and health managers have knowledge on epidemiological profiles. The aim of this study was to stratify etiologies, the most affected bones and possible recurrent patterns between 2016 and 2019, and based on the records and analyses of the cases, develop management systems and improvement tools to increase the healthcare chain operational efficiency. Methods: It is a cross-sectional study that examined 233 patients who suffered maxillofacial trauma and needed a surgical approach between December 2016 and December 2019 at the Hospital Governador Celso Ramos. Results: From a total of 447 fractures, 85.83% occurred in males. Mean age was 32.42 years, and the predominant injured individuals were between 21 and 30 years old. The most prevalent etiology was physical aggression, representing 42% of the patients. In the comparison of the years, there was a worrying upward trend in violence rates. Conclusions: The levels of violence are impressive, alarming. This work places red flag alert on serious preventable injuries caused by physical violence and traffic accidents. It is imperative that public administrations develop policies designed to mitigate risks and resource wastes, ensuring treatment, rehabilitation and, above all, effective prevention... (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La cuarentena y el aislamiento social son las medidas más recomendadas por las autoridades de salud con el objetivo de reducir la interacción social entre las personas y disminuir el riesgo de contagio por la COVID-19 en la comunidad. Sin embargo, estas restricciones y limitaciones pueden traer consecuencias en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud de adultos jóvenes. Objetivo: Comparar la calidad de vida autorreportada entre un entorno sin pandemia vs. un contexto bajo alerta sanitaria por la COVID-19, en adultos jóvenes. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo; 157 adultos jóvenes (63 mujeres y 94 hombres), de entre 18 y 28 años, respondieron el cuestionario de salud SF-36 en 2 situaciones: contexto sin pandemia (septiembre de 2019) y contexto de pandemia (abril de 2020). El SF-36 incluye 36 preguntas agrupadas en 8 ítems: función física, rol físico, dolor corporal, salud general, vitalidad, función social, rol emocional y salud mental. Resultados: Al comparar las evaluaciones entre los contextos con y sin pandemia, se observó una disminución de la calidad de vida en las dimensiones vitalidad (p = 0,004), función social (p = 0,001), rol emocional (p = 0,001), salud mental (p = 0,003) y salud general (p = 0,001). Las dimensiones más alteradas fueron el rol emocional y la salud general, las cuales disminuyeron un 39,5 por ciento y 21,0 por ciento, respectivamente. Conclusión: La calidad de vida relacionada con la salud de adultos jóvenes se ve disminuida en un contexto de cuarentena por la COVID-19, principalmente, en las dimensiones psicológicas y sociales(AU)


Introduction: Quarantine and social isolation are the actions most recommended by health authorities with the aim of reducing social interaction between people and reducing the risk of COVID-19 infection in the community. However, these restrictions and limitations can have consequences on the health-related quality of life of young adults. Objective: To compare the self-reported quality of life between a pandemic-free environment versus a context of COVID-19 pandemic in young adults. Methods: Retrospective study; 157 young adults (63 women and 94 men) between 18 and 28 years old answered the SF-36 health questionnaire in 2 situations: context without pandemic (September 2019) and context of pandemic (April 2020). The SF-36 includes 36 questions grouped into 8 items: physical function, physical role, body pain, general health, vitality, social function, emotional role, and mental health. Results: When comparing the evaluations between the contexts with and without a pandemic, a decrease in the quality of life was observed in the vitality dimensions (p = 0,004), social function (p = 0,001), emotional role (p = 0,001), health mental (p = 0,003) and general health (p = 0,001). The most altered dimensions were emotional role and general health, which decreased by 39,5 percent and 21,0 percent, respectively. Conclusions: This study determined that the health-related quality of life of young adults is diminished in context of quarantine by COVID-19, mainly in the psychological and social dimensions(AU)

ABSTRACT

Abstract During the last year the Group of Atmospheric Electricity Phenomena (FEA/UFPR) developed a short range lightning location network based on a sensor device called Storm Detector Network (SDN), along with a set of algorithms that enables to track storms, determining the Wide Area Probability (WAP) of lightning occurrence, risk level of lightning and Density Extension of the Flashes (DEF), using the geo-located lightning information as input data. These algorithms compose a Dashboard called Tracking Storm Interface (TSI), which is the visualization tool for an experimental short range Storm Detector network prototype in use on the region of Curitiba-Paraná, Brazil. The algorithms make use of Geopandas and clustering algorithms to locate storms, estimate centroids, determine dynamic storm displacement and compute parameters of thunderstorms like velocity, head edge of electrified cloud, Mean Stroke Rate, and tracking information, which are important parameters to improve the alert system which is subject of this research. To validate these algorithms we made use of a simple storm simulation, which enabled to test the system with huge amounts of data. We found that, for long duration storms, the tracking results, velocity and directions of the storms are coherent with the values of simulation and can be used to improve an alert system for the Storm Detector network. WAP can reach at least 75% of prediction efficiency when used 6 past WAP data, but can reach 98.86% efficiency when more data is available. We use storm dynamics to make improved alert predictions, reaching an efficiency of ~87%.

ABSTRACT

[RESUMEN]. Objetivo. Establecer la capacidad que tienen las etiquetas de advertencia con el tamaño mínimo exigido por la Organización Mundial de la Salud para capturar la atención en fumadores y no fumadores. Métodos. En el estudio se incluyeron 30 fumadores y 30 no fumadores, quienes realizaron una prueba de detección del punto (dot-probe) en la cual observaron, de manera simultánea, imágenes de cajetillas de cigarrillo divididas en dos: la parte superior contenía la marca de los cigarrillos y la parte inferior contenía la etiqueta de advertencia. Durante la tarea, se registró la actividad cerebral a través de los potenciales relacionados a eventos del tipo potencial negativo que ocurre aproximadamente a los 200 ms en la zona posterior contralateral al estímulo (N2pc) y negatividad contralateral posterior sostenida (SPCN, por sus siglas en inglés), los cuales son indicadores de atención temprana y sostenida. Resultados. En ambos grupos se encontró mayor amplitud de los potenciales N2pc y SPCN hacia la porción de la cajetilla que contiene la marca de cigarrillos. Sin embargo, el tiempo de reacción fue menor ante la etiqueta de advertencia en la tarea dot-probe. Conclusiones. Los resultados sugieren que, al inicio, la atención se dirige hacia la marca de los cigarrillos y luego hacia la etiqueta de advertencia. La incapacidad de las etiquetas de advertencia para capturar la atención en las primeras fases disminuye su eficacia, sobre todo en fumadores. Se sugiere aumentar el tamaño de las etiquetas de advertencia para favorecer un incremento en la respuesta de atención.


[ABSTRACT]. Objective. To determine the ability of cigarette-pack warning labels, of the minimum size required by the World Health Organization, to capture the attention of smokers and nonsmokers. Methods. In this study, 30 smokers and 30 nonsmokers completed a dot-probe task in which they simultaneously observed images of cigarette packs split in two: the top contained the cigarette brand and the bottom contained the warning label. During the task, brain activity was recorded through two event-related potentials of the negative-polarity type––the potential that occurs in the posterior-contralateral zone approximately 200 ms after a stimulus (N2pc) and the sustained posterior contralateral negativity (SPCN) response––which are indicators of early and sustained attention. Results. In both groups, a greater amplitude of N2pc and SPCN potentials was found for the part of the pack containing the cigarette brand. However, during the dot-probe task, reaction times were shorter for the warning label. Conclusions. These results suggest that, initially, attention is focused on the cigarette brand, and only then on the warning label. The inability of warning labels to capture early-phase attention decreases their effectiveness, especially in smokers. We suggest that warning labels be enlarged to facilitate increased attention response.


[RESUMO]. Objetivo. Determinar a capacidade das tarjas de advertência com o tamanho mínimo exigido pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) de atrair a atenção de fumantes e não fumantes. Métodos. A amostra do estudo consistiu de 30 fumantes e 30 não fumantes que foram testados com uma tarefa de sondagem (dot-probe task) em que tiveram de observar simultaneamente imagens de um maço de cigarro dividido ao meio: a parte superior continha a marca do cigarro e a parte inferior continha a tarja de advertência. Durante o teste, foi registrada a atividade cerebral com a análise de potenciais evocados relacionados a eventos do tipo potencial negativo que ocorre em cerca de 200 ms na área posterior contralateral ao estímulo (N2pc) e da ocorrência de negatividade contralateral posterior sustentada (SPCN, em inglês), que são indicadores de atenção mais rápida e sustentada. Resultados. Em ambos os grupos de participantes foi observada maior amplitude dos potenciais N2pc e SPCN na parte do maço que continha a marca. Porém, o tempo de reação na tarefa de sondagem foi menor diante da tarja de advertência. Conclusões. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem que, ao início, a atenção é dirigida à marca do cigarro e depois à tarja de advertência. A incapacidade da tarja de advertência de atrair a atenção nas primeiras fases diminui sua eficácia, sobretudo entre os fumantes. Recomenda-se aumentar o tamanho das tarjas de advertência para estimular um incremento na resposta de atenção.

ABSTRACT

Over the past six years, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), Regional Office for the Americas of the World Health Organization (WHO) has published an annual report on the PAHO/WHO Epidemiological Alerts and Updates disseminated during the respective year, and which reported and alerted Member States of public health events that could have implications beyond their borders...In 2017, PAHO/WHO disseminated 43 Epidemiological Alerts and Updates including recommendations to address the events, such as public health measures necessary to minimize the risk of the events occurrence. As an example, between January to December 2017, PAHO/WHO disseminated 21 Epidemiological Alerts and Updates concerning yellow fever in the Region of the Americas. These periodically reported on changes in the circulation of the virus and updated the recommendations issued to Member States based on adjustments in the risk assessment.


Desde hace seis años la Organización Panamericana de la Salud / Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS) publica un informe anual con todas las Alertas y Actualizaciones Epidemiológicas que se han diseminado durante ese año en particular, y en las que se inform y puso sobre aviso a los Estados Miembros sobre eventos de salud pública que pudieron tener implicaciones más allá de las fronteras...En 2017, la OPS/OMS diseminó 43 Alertas y Actualizaciones Epidemiológicas con recomendaciones para hacer frente a los eventos, incluidas las principales medidas de salud pública necesarias para evitar que aumente el riesgo ante esos eventos. A modo de ejemplo, de enero a diciembre de 2017 la OPS/OMS diseminó 21 Alertas y Actualizaciones respecto a la situación de fiebre amarilla en la Región. También notificó periódicamente sobre los cambios ocurridos en la circulación de este virus, así como actualizó las recomendaciones a los Estados Miembros en función de los ajustes que se fueron haciendo a la evaluación de riesgo.
