Lazer, política e sociedade: as contribuições da SEJEL para os feirantes do Ver-o-Peso / Leisure, politics and society: the contributions of the fairground SEJEL for O-Ver-Weight

O presente estudo objetiva analisar as contribuições políticas das práticas sociais do lazer promovidas pela Secretaria Municipal de Esporte, Juventude e Lazer (SEJEL) para os feirantes do Ver-o-Peso (2018 a 2019) privilegiando o lazer no cotidiano dos feirantes enquanto direito social. Questões norteadoras: Existe alguma contribuição política pela SEJEL que garanta o Lazer enquanto direito Social em prol dos feirantes do Ver-o-Peso. Se existe? Como existe? Problema ­Como contribuir para as políticas da SEJEL que garanta o Lazer enquanto direito social, em prol dos feirantes do Ver-o-Peso? Metodologia: pesquisa documental qualitativa, enfoque materialismo dialético, método dialético, coleta de dados: jornal, vídeo, blog da SEJEL, leis, projeto de lazer da prefeitura para os feirantes. Resultado: as políticas da SEJEL estão enquadradas com um significado recreativo, havendo necessidade da efetivação de políticas públicas de lazer consolidadas com os feirantes para a compreensão enquanto direito social, e, também por parte dos governantes quando o mesmo está sendo vivido e entendido pelas vias do senso comum somente como descanso, entretenimento e mercadoria. A promoção social do lazer pode estar atrelada a um serviço muitas vezes de forma limitada e alienante de convívio social.

Objective: to analyze the contributions of the social practices of leisure promoted by the municipal Sport, Youth andSport (SEJEL) to the vendors of the Ver-o-Peso (2018 to 2019) for the quality and style of life of them, as well as for that leisure becomes privileged in everyday merchants and practice as a social right of citizenship under the foundations of public policies of leisure. Methodology: qualitative desk research, focus dialectical materialism, dialectical method, data collection, newspaper, video, blog SEJEL, laws, leisure project of city hall to the fairground. Result: The public policies of social practices of leisure SEJEL (2008 to 2012) is framed with a recreational significance, requiring the execution of public policy leisure consolidated with the vendors to understand as a social right, and also by the rulers when it is lived and understood by way of common sense only as entertainment and merchandise. The social promotion of leisure can be linked to a service often quite limited and alienating.

Conformance of the Food Vendor Carts Design to the Prescribed Standards as per Food Safety and Standards Regulations: Assessment from an Urban Area of North India

Background: Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, established under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, is mandated with disseminating evidence-based standards, regulating the manufacture, storage, distribution, sale, and import of street food, for ensuring the availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption and matters connected in addition to that or incidental to that. Hence, this study was conducted to ascertain the conformance of the design of street food vendor’s carts to the prescribed standards. Methods: We conducted a cross?sectional study in Chandigarh between July 2017 and March 2018 among 400 street food vendors. The primary dependent variable of the study was conformance. The carts were evaluated for their conformance to the standard recommended design based upon a checklist designed using the guidelines of Food Safety and Standards Regulations, 2011. Results: Almost half of the respondents had an experience of 6–15 years (48.5%) and were earning between Rs. 500 and 1000/day (56.3%). The majority of them (95%) were migrants from other states. Only 26.3% were using mobile vending sites. On regression analysis, better cart score was predicted by age, education, increasing experience, higher income, when food was prepared at home only, and with assistance in the form of helpers. Conclusions: This study indicates that although the policy was formulated 8 years back, the standards of street food carts were still below par in Chandigarh. The government should give technical specifications and ensure uniformity at the national level.

Vendor qualification: Utilization of solid state characterization “Toolbox” to assess material variability for active pharmaceutical ingredient

One of the credos for a successful product development, early clinical trial supplies, achieving full-scalemanufacturability and speed to the market is the vendor qualification. The focus of this paper is to employ a systematicapproach to qualify different active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) suppliers. In this context, API sourced from twodifferent vendors used in product development, where prototype formulations manufactured with identical componentsand specifications demonstrated significant variations in drug product performance attributable to vendor-to-vendorvariability. Prototype prepared using API (Vendor 1) showed disintegration of tablets in 4.5 minutes which compliedwith in-house specifications, whereas it was >15 minutes for the prototype prepared from API (Vendor 2). In orderto understand these differences, a vast array of solid state techniques were employed to compare the critical materialattributes of API (GDCS1902) from two different Vendors. Furthermore, these tools were orthogonally applied tounderstand whether API from two Vendors demonstrated any process-induced transformations, such as processinduced polymorphism, process-induced crystal disorder, and process-induced fragmentation. The results of thesemeasurements indicated the presence of fine particles of varied morphology with API (Vendor 1), while API (Vendor2) showed more medium-sized uniform particles. Formulation process modification to induce API fragmentation insitu was carried out for the API from Vendor 2. This modification produced desired granule properties which were thensubjected to drug performance tests and was found to match the specification. This study demonstrates the importanceof understanding the critical material attributes to match the final product performance when multiple vendors wereselected.

Application of Vendor-Neutral Iterative Reconstruction Technique to Pediatric Abdominal Computed Tomography

OBJECTIVE: To compare image qualities between vendor-neutral and vendor-specific hybrid iterative reconstruction (IR) techniques for abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT) in young patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In phantom study, we used an anthropomorphic pediatric phantom, age-equivalent to 5-year-old, and reconstructed CT data using traditional filtered back projection (FBP), vendor-specific and vendor-neutral IR techniques (ClariCT; ClariPI) in various radiation doses. Noise, low-contrast detectability and subjective spatial resolution were compared between FBP, vendor-specific (i.e., iDose1 to 5; Philips Healthcare), and vendor-neutral (i.e., ClariCT1 to 5) IR techniques in phantom. In 43 patients (median, 14 years; age range 1–19 years), noise, contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and qualitative image quality scores of abdominopelvic CT were compared between FBP, iDose level 4 (iDose4), and ClariCT level 2 (ClariCT2), which showed most similar image quality to clinically used vendor-specific IR images (i.e., iDose4) in phantom study. Noise, CNR, and qualitative imaging scores were compared using one-way repeated measure analysis of variance. RESULTS: In phantom study, ClariCT2 showed noise level similar to iDose4 (14.68–7.66 Hounsfield unit [HU] vs. 14.78–6.99 HU at CT dose index volume range of 0.8–3.8 mGy). Subjective low-contrast detectability and spatial resolution were similar between ClariCT2 and iDose4. In clinical study, ClariCT2 was equivalent to iDose4 for noise (14.26–17.33 vs. 16.01–18.90) and CNR (3.55–5.24 vs. 3.20–4.60) (p > 0.05). For qualitative imaging scores, the overall image quality ([reader 1, reader 2]; 2.74 vs. 2.07, 3.02 vs. 2.28) and noise (2.88 vs. 2.23, 2.93 vs. 2.33) of ClariCT2 were superior to those of FBP (p 0.05). CONCLUSION: Vendor-neutral IR technique shows image quality similar to that of clinically used vendor-specific hybrid IR technique for abdominopelvic CT in young patients.

Food Safety and Hygiene Practices among Food Vendors in a Tertiary Educational Institution in South Western Nigeria

Food-borne illness is a public health problem causing morbidity and mortality in general population. Many people die of food poisoning annually in Nigeria from foodborne pathogens from contaminated food and water consumption in emergent nations. Hence this study assessed the knowledge of food safety and hygiene practice among food handlers in a Nigerian University. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among food vendors and food handlers in Obafemi University Ile-Ife, South Western Nigeria. The vendors that participated in the study were 238 and had been on the job for not less than one year. Data was collected using 3- sectioned structured questionnaire, this was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20. The result showed that more than half of the respondents were female (58%), while (48.7%) of the respondents had completed training in food safety, of which (49.6%) have completed university education or currently enrolled in the university. Knowledge of food safety among respondents showed that 76 (31.9%) of respondents had adequate knowledge on transmission of food borne diseases while 160 (67.2%) had inadequate knowledge. Also, 115 (78.2%) of respondents had satisfactory safety hygiene practices and 28 (19.0%) had unsafe hygiene practices. In the face of adequate knowledge on food safety among participants, the majority had unsafe hygiene practice, as most vendors do not wear a hat or cover hair when serving or preparing food. Thus vendors need education on safety hygiene practices knowing that knowledge without practice is bitty and fruitless.

Intra-Individual, Inter-Vendor Comparison of Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging of Upper Abdominal Organs at 3.0 Tesla with an Emphasis on the Value of Normalization with the Spleen

OBJECTIVE: To compare the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of upper abdominal organs with 2 different 3.0 tesla MR systems and to investigate the usefulness of normalization using the spleen. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-one patients were enrolled in this prospective study, of which, 35 patients (M:F, 27:8; mean age ± standard deviation, 62.3 ± 12.3 years) were finally analyzed. In addition to the routine liver MR protocol, single-shot spin-echo echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging using b values of 0, 50, 400, and 800 s/mm2 in 2 different MR systems was performed. ADC values of the liver, spleen, pancreas, kidney and liver lesion (if present) were measured and analyzed. ADC values of the spleen were used for normalization. The Pearson correlation, Spearman correlation, paired sample t test, Wilcoxon signed rank test and Bland-Altman method were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: For all anatomical regions and liver lesions, both non-normalized and normalized ADC values from 2 different MR systems showed significant correlations (r = 0.5196-0.8488). Non-normalized ADC values of both MR systems differed significantly in all anatomical regions and liver lesions (p < 0.001). However, the normalized ADC of all anatomical regions and liver lesions did not differ significantly (p = 0.065-0.661), with significantly lower coefficient of variance than that of non-normalized ADC (p < 0.009). CONCLUSION: Normalization of the abdominal ADC values using the spleen as a reference organ reduces differences between different MR systems, and could facilitate consistent use of ADC as an imaging biomarker for multi-center or longitudinal studies.

Use of the united theory of acceptance and use of technology model to study information communication technology- adoption in five Saudi Arabian private hospitals

We conducted a multi-institutional case study to identify the issues associated with the adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) in five private care hospitals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We conducted interviews with 37 respondents primarily comprising IT professionals. We found that there were three determinants of behavioural intentions in this case study: organisation objectives, facilitating conditions and social influence where there are no effects of performance expectancy or effort expectancy. In all five cases, none of the moderators (age, gender, experience and voluntariness) in the original united theory of acceptance and use of technology model were considered critically important by IT professionals. In the present paper, all qualitative elements such as themes, patterns and overarching in the data were analysed to reach a conclusion. In addition, the various perspectives of using ICT are discussed.

Mercado de trabalho, informalidade e comércio ambulante em São Paulo / The labor market, informality and street vendors in Sao Paulo / Mercado de trabajo, informalidad y comercio ambulante en São Paulo

O objetivo central deste artigo é caracterizar e analisar a evolução da quantidade e o perfil dos trabalhadores no comércio ambulante da cidade de São Paulo, na primeira década de 2000. A base empírica é composta por séries da Pesquisa de Emprego e Desemprego (PED) na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo, realizada pela Fundação Seade. Os dados revelam que, em 2009, havia cerca de 100.000 comerciantes de rua trabalhando na capital paulista, número bem menor do que o verificado em 2004 (133.000 pessoas). Essa significativa redução deve ser atribuída à melhoria do mercado de trabalho metropolitano depois de 2004, expressa pela queda do desemprego. Não obstante a heterogeneidade dos comerciantes de rua, foi possível identificar um perfil predominante desses trabalhadores: são homens, de cor branca, de idade madura, com precária escolaridade, chefes de domicílios pobres e moradores há bastante tempo na cidade.

The main objective of this paper is to characterize and analyze the evolution in the numbers and profiles of persons working as street vendors in the city of São Paulo during the 2000s. The empirical base is composed of series from the Employment and Unemployment Survey (Pesquisa de Emprego e Desemprego) for the São Paulo Metropolitan Region. The data revealed that there were 100,000 vendors working on the streets of São Paulo in 2009, far fewer than the 133,000 counted in 2004. This significant reduction can be attributed to the improvement of the metropolitan labor market as of 2004, characterized by a fall in unemployment. Despite the heterogeneity of street vendors, a predominant profile of these workers could be identified: they are generally male, white, of mature age, with low levels of education, heads of poor households and long-time residents of the city.

Is There a Role for Patent Medicine Vendors in Tuberculosis Control in Southern Nigeria.

Patent medicine vendors (PMVs) are a ubiquitous feature of the informal health sector in Nigeria. A previous study on healthcare-seeking behaviour of persons with chronic cough in southern Nigeria found that over 60% of respondents chose the PMV as a healthcare provider of first instance. This study sought to determine the willingness and capability of PMVs to play a role in the national tuberculosis (TB)-control effort. Study sites were selected through a multi-stage sampling process. In total, 388 PMVs, 17 principal officers of PMV associations, and 17 community leaders were purposively selected. Sets of structured questionnaire were administered to the PMVs while information from the principal officers of PMV associations and community leaders was elicited through in-depth interviews and focus-group discussions (FGDs). Quantitative data were collated using the Epi Info software (version 6.04) and analyzed using the SPSS software (version 15). Most (90%) PMVs indicated that they would be ready to cooperate with the national TB-control programme, if trained. Seventy-three percent attended persons with prolonged cough in the course of their career. However, 48% did not know the cause of TB. Only 3% ever-attended a training session on TB control. Sixty-six percent completed at least 12 years of schooling with secondary school certificate. Eighty percent of the community leaders were happy with the work of PMVs. About two-thirds (65.6%) of the PMVs were male. The PMVs are positively disposed to playing roles in TB control. Given this positive disposition and their widespread acceptance in healthcare-delivery in the communities, they have potentials for playing a role in TB control in southern Nigeria.

Integrated Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Management based on B2B Collaboration and Information Sharing / 대한의료정보학회지

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research is to design and develop an integrated pharmaceutical supply chain management(SCM) system for optimizing inventory control and reducing material handling costs based on B2B collaboration and information sharing. METHODS: We have analyzed business processes of material handling in hospitals and reviewed system requirements for efficient supply chain management. VMI(Vendor-Managed Inventory), which is one of important applications of SCM, has been adopted. Online procurement system and Web-based information sharing system are developed for the integration of the SCM. RESULTS: The SCM system composed of VMI, CAO(Computer Aided Ordering), and Web-based information sharing system enables hospitals to optimize the procurement processes and inventory control of pharmaceutical products. By sharing information with hospitals, the wholesaler can get information more timely and use exact data about inventory status and drug usage volumes of hospitals, so that it can forecast future demand more accurately, which facilitates needed products to be supplied timely and cost-effectively. CONCLUSION: By the B2B collaborations and information sharing among SCM participants, the SCM system have been implemented successfully in the medical center. It improves material handling of hospitals, reducing inventory management costs and ultimately improving quality of patient care.
