Analysis on the Current Status and Ethics Review Key Points of Electronic Informed Consent / 中国医学伦理学

Informed consent is one of the key elements to protect the rights and welfare of the patients or research subjects. With the development of electronic information technology, the diversity and convenience brought by the electronization makes the electronic informed consent (E-Consent) come into being. European and American countries have begun to apply E-Consent in the field of clinical trials, established a relatively perfect E-Consent platform and software system, and initially formed the guiding principles and recommendations of E-Consent. However, the implementation of E-Consent is still less in China, and there is no targeted legal basis and guidelines for ethical review. Therefore, this paper explored the implementation potential of E-Consent domestically by analyzing the application scenarios, advantages and disadvantages, and feasibility of E-Consent, and tried to establish the practical ethic review points of E-Consent based on the basic principles of ethical principles, to ensure that clinical trials have an appropriate E-Consent process.

Vivência e expectativas de doulas em região brasileira de fronteira / Experience and expectations of doulas in a Brazilian border region

RESUMO O estudo buscou compreender a vivência e as expectativas das doulas que atuam ou atuaram em dois municípios de região de fronteira: Foz do Iguaçu e Cascavel, Paraná, Brasil. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa pautada no referencial da Fenomenologia Social. A coleta das informações deu-se por entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado em língua portuguesa. As entrevistas foram feitas on-line. Os resultados foram classificados em seis categorias: motivação para tornar-se doula, conhecimento sobre o papel da doula, o cotidiano das doulas, abarcando as subcategorias de experiências exitosas e desafios da atividade na região de fronteira, a invisibilidade da doulagem, as expectativas enquanto doulas frente ao cenário obstétrico e o esperado da sua atuação profissional. O estudo permitiu compreender a vivência das doulas e o conhecimento do papel da sua função no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), no setor privado e em partos domiciliares, evidenciando a importância da atuação multiprofissional. Foram ponderadas resistências no cenário obstétrico por desconhecimento dos profissionais da assistência sobre o papel da doula. Em relação à atuação na região de fronteira, as doulas relataram o acompanhamento de mulheres paraguaias no Brasil e, com menos frequência, no Paraguai. As barreiras culturais e linguísticas foram destacadas como obstáculos para o exercício profissional em outro país.

ABSTRACT The study sought to understand the experience and expectations of doulas who worked or worked in two municipalities in the border region: Foz do Iguaçu and Cascavel, Paraná, Brazil. This was a qualitative research based on the framework of Social Phenomenology. The collection of information took place through interviews with a semi-structured script in Portuguese. The interviews were done online. The results were classified into six categories: motivated to become a doula, knowledge about the role of the doula, the daily life of the doulas, covering the subcategories of successful experiences and challenges of the activity in the border region, the invisibility of the doula, the expectations as doulas facing the obstetric scenario and what is expected of their professional performance. The study made it possible to understand the experience of doulas and knowledge of the role of their role in the Unified Health System (SUS), in the private sector and in home births, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary action. Resistance in the obstetric scenario was considered due to the lack of knowledge on the part of care professionals about the role of the doula. Regarding work in the border region, the doulas reported accompanying Paraguayan women in Brazil and, less frequently, in Paraguay. Cultural and linguistic barriers were highlighted as reasons that make professional practice in another country unfeasible.

Salud y bienestar en las representaciones sociales de los profesionales de salud Latinoamérica 2019 - 2020 / Health and well-being in the social representations of health professionals in selected Latin American countries 2019-2020

Resumen Objetivos: La investigación se propuso tres objetivos: describir la representación social de salud y bienestar; caracterizar la labor de los profesionales de salud para promover el bienestar; establecer similitudes y diferencias entre lo que conocen y realizan, respecto del concepto de la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Materiales y métodos: Es un estudio descriptivo, transversal, multicéntrico (Cuba, México, Panamá y Perú); después de una revisión bibliográfica, se llevó cabo una encuesta y consulta a expertos. Se utilizó un muestreo no probabilístico y se realizaron análisis de estadística descriptiva. Resultados: Los profesionales de salud, perciben el bienestar muy agradable y cómodo, posible, dulce, bueno, responsable, flexible, seguro, blanco, algo ligero, pero un poco corto y difícil; a la salud la perciben muy agradable, posible, cómoda, flexible, dulce, responsable, segura, buena, blanca, ligera y larga pero difícil; la mayoría cree conocer los conceptos salud y bienestar de OMS/OPS, pero al compararlos con los establecidos por estos organismos, no son correctos, ni completos y su conocimiento resulta insuficiente. Conclusiones: Los profesionales de salud no tienen una comprensión total de la relación entre ambos conceptos; la mayoría realiza las acciones para promover el bienestar que le resultan fáciles; no se perciben como entes activos y transformadores en las actividades generadoras de una vida saludable y, por tanto, no se encuentran en consonancia con las transformaciones necesarias que privilegian salud y bienestar.

Abstract Objectives: The research proposed three objectives: to describe the social representation of health and well-being; characterize the work of health professionals to promote well-being; establish similarities and differences between what they know and do, with respect to the concept of the World Health Organization. Materials and methods: It is a descriptive, cross-sectional, multicenter study (Cuba, Mexico, Panama and Peru); after a literature review, a survey and expert consultation were carried out. Non-probabilistic sampling was used and descriptive statistical analyzes were performed. Results: The health professionals, perceive well-being as very pleasant and comfortable, possible, sweet, good, responsible, flexible, safe, white, somewhat light, but a bit short and difficult; health is perceived as very pleasant, possible, comfortable, flexible, sweet, responsible, safe, good, white, light and long but difficult; most believe they know the concepts of health and well-being of WHO/PAHO, but when compared to those established by these organizations, they are not correct or complete, and their knowledge is insufficient. Conclusions: In conclusion, they do not have a full understanding of the relationship between both concepts; most take actions to promote well-being that are easy for them; they are not perceived as active and transforming entities in the activities that generate a healthy life and therefore, they are not in line with the necessary transformations that privilege health and well-being.

Factores laborales, actitudes de género y bienestar asociados al conflicto trabajo y familia en Chile / Labor Factors, Gender Attitudes, and Welfare Associated With Work-Family Conflict in Chile / Conflict in Chile Fatores laborais, atitudes de gênero e bem-estar associados ao conflito laboral e familiar no Chile

La incidencia de factores sociales, culturales y normativos en el conflicto trabajo-familia ha sido abordada a nivel internacional, pero sin evidencia en Chile. En este estudio se analizó la incidencia de distintos factores sociolaborales, de género y las actitudes hacia el Esta- do de bienestar en el conflicto trabajo-familia, en una muestra de 550 trabajadores con hijos menores de 14 años, residentes de Santiago de Chile. Se aplicó un análisis de regresión logística para determinar las variables predictoras del conflicto trabajo-familia, y se profundizó en una de las direcciones, el conflicto de la familia a trabajo. Los resultados mostraron que las dificultades para conciliar en la empresa influyen positivamente en el conflicto trabajo-familia. Además, el ingreso mínimo influye en el conflicto trabajo-familia; mientras que el tiempo de cuidado incide en el conflicto familia a trabajo.

The incidence of social, cultural, and normative factors on work/family conflict has been addressed internationally. However, there is no evidence for the case of Chile. This study analyzed the effect of attitudes towards the welfare state and different socio-labor factors on this conflict in 550 working parents with children under 14 in Santiago, Chile. The logistic regression analysis showed that difficulties in reconciling work and family life in the company positively influence the conflict. In addition, earning the minimum wage generates greater conflict, while care time has an impact on family-to-work conflict.

A incidência de fatores sociais, culturais e normativos no conflito trabalho/família foi abordada internacionalmente, mas sem evidências no Chile. Neste estudo, analisou-se a incidência de diferentes fatores sociolaborais, gênero e atitudes perante o estado de bemestar no conflito trabalho/família em uma amostra de 550 trabalhadores com filhos menores de 14 anos residentes em Santiago, Chile. Aplicou-se uma análise de regressão logística para determinar as variáveis preditoras do conflito trabalho/ família, e aprofundou-se em uma das direções, o conflito da família em relação ao trabalho. Os resultados mos- traram que as dificuldades de conciliação na empresa influenciam positivamente no conflito trabalho/família. Além disso, a renda mínima influencia o conflito trabalho/ família; enquanto o tempo de cuidado afeta o conflito família em relação ao trabalho.

Gobernando la crianza en familias pobres: ONG y gestión durante la pandemia

(analítico) El artículo analiza prácticas de crianza de familias pobres ubicadas en la ciudad de Ibagué (Colombia), que emergen en su relación con las ONG que las intervienen en el contexto de la pandemia por covid-19. La metodología empleada fue la etnografía, en diálogo con estrategias dialógicas y participativas. Se evidenciaron dos tipos de prácticas de crianza: alimentaria y de acompañamiento educativo. Mientras la primera se gestiona por medio de donaciones, sujetas a las lógicas del mercado, la segunda se basa en la asignación de roles educativos a los acudientes para que estos instruyan a sus hijos e hijas con base en los parámetros del Estado. Como conclusión, se evidencia que estas intervenciones buscan que las familias autogestionen su precariedad, en el marco de la legitimación de un orden social neoliberal.

(analytical) This article analyzes the parenting practices of poor families located in the city of Ibagué (Colombia), which emerged in the families' relationships with an NGO that provided them with support during the COVID-19 pandemic. An ethnographic methodology was used, complemented with dialogic and participatory strategies. Two types of parenting practices were identified: food-based care and educational support. While the first was based upon receiving donations and was subject to market dynamics, the second was based on the allocation of educational roles to parents and caregivers so that they could teach their children based on the State's guidelines. The authors conclude that these interventions support families to selfmanage their precarious situation in the framework of the legitimation of a neoliberal social order.

(analítico) O artigo analisa práticas na formação de famílias pobres, localizadas na cidade de Ibagué (Colômbia), que emergem na sua relação com as ONGs, que as intervêm, no contexto da pandemia por Covid-19. A metodologia aplicada foi a etnografia, em diálogo com estratégias dialógicas e participativas. Evidenciaram-se dois tipos de práticas de formação: alimentar e de acompanhamento educativo. Enquanto a primeira se gestiona através de doações, sujeitas às lógicas do mercado, a segunda se baseia na designação de papéis educativos aos pais ou responsáveis para que estes instruam aos seus filhos e filhas com base nos parâmetros do Estado. Como conclusão, se evidencia que estas intervenções procuram que estas famílias autogestionem a sua precariedade, no marco da legitimação de uma ordem social neoliberal.

Interrupção legal da gravidez em crianças: o melhor interesse da gestante nas veredas do direito, da medicina e da ética / Legal termination of pregnancy in children in Brazil: the principle of the best interests of the child in the paths of law, medicine, and ethics / Interrupción legal del embarazo en niñas em Brasil: el principio del interés superior del niño en los caminos del derecho, la medicina y la ética

Objetivo: analisar o direito à interrupção legal da gravidez sob o marco teórico do princípio do melhor interesse da criança. Dentre os objetivos específicos, busca-se analisar a postura do Judiciário e do Ministério Público nos casos apresentados, os fundamentos jurídicos para o exercício do direito ao aborto em casos de estupro de vulnerável, os contornos teóricos do princípio do melhor interesse da criança, além de aspectos médicos, tais como a (in)existência de marco temporal para a interrupção da gravidez nos casos permitidos pela legislação, bem como a (im)possibilidade do exercício da objeção de consciência por médicos nesse contexto. Metodologia: adota-se a vertente jurídico-sociológica e a investigação jurídico-propositiva, por meio de raciocínio indutivo. Utiliza-se análise documental e bibliográfica, por meio de revisão bibliográfica qualitativa. Parte-se do marco teórico do princípio do melhor interesse da criança e do adolescente, previsto na Lei nº 8.069/1990, para testar a hipótese de que a interrupção legal da gravidez deve ser compreendida prima facie como o curso de ação que melhor se adequa ao princípio do melhor interesse da criança. Resultados: a gravidez em criança, por si só, já configura a violação de um direito fundamental. A interrupção da gestação nos casos de estupro de vulnerável é direito fundamental, garantido expressamente por lei, sem qualquer condicionante temporal ou qualitativa. Conclusão: confirmou-se a hipótese de que a interrupção legal da gravidez deve ser compreendida prima facie como o curso de ação que melhor se enquadra ao princípio do melhor interesse da criança.

Objective: to analyze the right to legal abortion within the theoretical framework of the principle of the best interests of the child. The specific objectives are to analyze the position of the Judiciary and the Prosecution in two cases, the legal basis of the right to abortion in cases of statutory rape, the theoretical framework of the principle of the best interests of the child, and medical aspects such as the (non-)existence of a time frame for abortion in legally admissible cases and the (im)possibility of the exercise of conscientious objection by physicians in this context. Methods: this paper makes use of the sociological of law and the legal-propositional research directions and follows an inductive thinking approach. Documentary and bibliographic analysis is conducted through a qualitative bibliographical review. This paper starts from the theoretical framework of the principle of the best interests of the child provided by Law No. 8.069/1990 to test the hypothesis that legal abortion is prima facie the procedure that best complies with the principle of the best interests of the child. Results: the pregnancy of a child is in itself a violation of a fundamental right. Abortion in the case of rape of a vulnerable person is a fundamental right explicitly guaranteed by law, without temporal or qualitative constraint.Conclusion: the hypothesis was confirmed, so that legal abortion should be understoodprima facieas the course of action that best corresponds to the principle of the best interests of the child.

Evaluation of Microbiological Quality of Halal Beef Intended for Export from Khartoum State, Sudan

Aims: To evaluate halal criteria of beef microbiological quality intended for export in two slaughterhouses. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Khartoum State, Sudan between August and November 2022. Methodology: Samples were collected by using the non-destructive dry swab method for microbiological quality sampling of beef and a standardized checklist to evaluate good manufacturing practices (GMPs) and good hygienic practices (GHPs). Restraining methods were categorized as “modern method” where the full inversion rotary casting box was used which resembled slaughterhouse “A” or “conventional method” where a large-sized hammer for blowing the skull was used and this resembled slaughterhouse “B”. A total of 80 male beef cattle were investigated after arrival in the lairages of the designated slaughterhouses. Forty carcasses from each slaughtering method were randomly chosen and swabbed. Results: The results revealed that halal criteria for the slaughtering methods in slaughterhouse (A) was 100%, while slaughterhouse (B) was 83.2%. Also, this study revealed poor personal hygiene as slaughterhouse A scored 53.2%, while slaughterhouse B scored 33.2% for personal hygiene evaluation. The mean total bacterial count (TBC) was found to be 4.556 x 10? cfu/ml and 5.53275 X 10? cfu/ml in slaughterhouses A and B, respectively with highly significant differences compared to the standard permissible limits (1x 10?cfu/ml) with p ?0.05, while there were no statistically significant differences (0.847) within slaughterhouses with p ?0.05. Furthermore, the mean total coliform count (TCC) was found to be 16.4795 X10²cfu/ml and 47.8670 X 10²cfu/ml in slaughterhouses A and B, respectively with a highly significant difference compared to the standard permissible limits (1x10²cfu/ml) with p ?0.05 and also with highly significant differences (0.000) between slaughterhouses themselves with p ?0.05. Conclusion: The study concluded that both slaughterhouses failed to meet the requirements of the various beef halal criteria.

Ethical problems and solutions of experimental animals in functional experiment teaching / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Objective:To investigate the ethics and existing problems of experimental animals in medical experiments and experimental teaching, and to formulate countermeasures so that animal ethics and animal welfare can be truly reflected in medical experiments.Methods:In this study, a "Basic Function Experiment Center Animal Experiment Questionnaire" with 25 questions was formulated from three aspects: the ethical cognition of experimental animals, whether animal experiments are ethical or not, how to view the problems of animal ethics and experimental teaching and the cognition of virtual simulation experiment teaching. Questionnaire was sent to Hubei University of Medicine to investigate the international students of Batch 2017 (5-year program), undergraduates of Batch 2017 (5-year program) and nursing students of Batch 2018 (4-year program) as well as teachers, researchers and employees of laboratory animal center (all with bachelor degree or above). The survey results were expressed as percentage.Results:The recovery rate of the questionnaire in this study was 98.04%(2 451/2 500), among which the practitioners, teachers and researchers in the laboratory animal center clearly understood the ethics of experimental animals, but there was a widespread phenomenon of lagging ethics among the students. For example, 16.24% (398/2 451) students had not received animal experiment ethics education and training, 29.46% (722/2 451) were not clear about animal protection laws and regulations, 7.14% (175/2 451) thought animal experiments were immoral; 29.54% (724/2 451) had vague cognition of animal welfare and ethical knowledge; 25.91% (635/2 451) were not familiar with the operation steps; 9.38% (230/2 451) were indifferent to the extra treatment of animals due to operation errors, 7.83% (192/2 451) chose to give up the experiment in the treatment of animals after massive bleeding, only 5.43% (133/2 451) chose to continue the experiment after timely hemostasis and infusion, and 9.26% (227/2 451) chose to do operations unrelated to the experiment. After the experiment, 2.28% (56/2 451) chose to kill the animals by bloodletting, only 5.51% (135/2 451) chose excessive anesthesia euthanasia, and 1.96% (48/2 451) chose to kill the animals by cervical dislocation and violence. Only 15.79% (387/2 451) chose to remember the dead animal for 2 minutes. Only 32.56%(798/2 451) of the respondents understood virtual simulation experiment, 34.92% (856/2 451) of the respondents thought that virtual simulation experiment or experimental teaching video could be used to replace the existing live animal experiment, 77.56% (1 901/2 451) believed that the construction of virtual simulation laboratory should be strengthened.Conclusion:It is imperative to strengthen the education of students' ethics of experimental animals, which is conducive to the establishment of correct ethics of experimental animals for medical students, so that the "3R" principle and animal welfare can be truly implemented in experimental teaching and scientific research experiments.

Internal audit of Organ Procurement Organization under the requirements of high-quality development / 器官移植

High-quality development is the primary task of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. Organ donation and transplantation in China are evolving from high-speed growth to high-quality development, which put forward new requirements for the safe, stable and healthy operation of Organ Procurement Organization (OPO). Safety is the foundation and prerequisite for achieving the goal of high-quality development. As an independent and comprehensive department, internal audit should create new achievements in the new era. The department should include OPO and organ donation into the scope of internal audit, shift the emphasis upon the overall development of organ donation. Besides, it should fully consider the actual situation in different places, conduct all-round, objective and fair evaluation, provide evaluation and consulting services for OPO to properly implement organ donation, and give full play to the supervision and prevention role of internal audit.

Empobrecimento, fome e pandemia: o Auxílio Emergencial, o fim do Programa Bolsa Família e o Auxílio Brasil, 2019-2022 / Impoverishment, hunger, and pandemic: Emergency Aid, the end of the Bolsa Família Benefit, and its replacement, Auxílio Brasil, 2019-2022

Resumo O artigo aborda as escolhas políticas do governo brasileiro relacionadas aos programas sociais de transferência condicionada de renda feitas em meio à pandemia de covid-19. O objetivo é analisar como a implementação do Auxílio Emergencial, o fim do Programa Bolsa Família e a implementação do Auxílio Brasil estão relacionados ao rearranjo e ao desmanche da rede de proteção social brasileira diante da conjuntura de generalizado empobrecimento dos trabalhadores brasileiros. Espera-se não só apresentar um registro dessas ações, mas estabelecer chaves de leitura que, contextualizadas historicamente, permitam explicar a análise de tais ações em meio ao aprofundamento das políticas neoliberais no país.

Abstract This article addresses the political choices made by the Brazilian government concerning conditional cash transfer programs during the covid-19 pandemic. The aim is to analyze how the covid-related Emergency Aid (Auxílio Emergencial), the extinction of the Bolsa Família Program, and the implementation of its replacement, Auxílio Brasil, interacted in the rearrangement and dismantling of Brazil's social protection network in a broader context of a generalized impoverishment of Brazilian workers. The article not only presents a record of these actions, but also offers an interpretative approach that, historically contextualized, can shed light on these actions, which ran parallel to the deepening entrenchment of neoliberal policies in the country.

Survey of euthanasia methods used in neotropical chiropterans in São Paulo State, Brazil: critical analyses and proposal for standardization of bat euthanasia methods / evantamento dos métodos de eutanásia utilizados em quirópteros neotropicais no estado de São Paulo, Brasil: análise crítica e proposta de padronização de métodos de eutanásia em morcegos

Zoonotic Surveillance Divisions (ZSDs) rescue and euthanize bats in contact with humans. The euthanasia procedure should be conducted safely for the animal and caretaker and minimal stress for the animal is important. The objectives of this study were: i. evaluate the methods of euthanasia used by ZSDs in the State of São Paulo; ii. compare the methods with national and international guidelines for animal euthanasia practices; iii. assess the methodologies considering taxonomy and eating habits of the main bat species, and iv. propose standardization of euthanasia procedures. Sixty-five ZSDs locations received an online questionnaire or were contacted by telephone and 33 ZSDs (50.8%) responded and are distributed in 11 mesoregions in the state to remain anonymous. The euthanasia methods were divided into chemical (injectable or inhalation), physical, or mixed methods. Bat specimens (n = 550) were identified and classified to evaluate the main genera found in the state. The location of the ZSD, species, eating habits, and the method of euthanasia used were analyzed. The specimens by bat families were Molossidae (n = 340), Phyllostomidae (n = 171), and Vespertilionidae (n = 39). Chemical methods were used in 25 ZSDs (75.75%), physical in 5 (15.15%), and mixed in 3 (9.09%). There is no uniformity or standardization in bat euthanasia methods used by ZSDs, although most are based on acceptable chemical methods. It was proposed an algorithm to assist the veterinarian in choosing the method of euthanasia for bats that will allow standardizing euthanasia procedures for this species, considering physiological differences, and respecting technical, bioethical, and animal welfare guidelines.(AU)

As Divisões de Vigilância de Zoonoses (DVZs) coletam e eutanasiam morcegos que tiveram contato com humanos. O procedimento de eutanásia precisa ocorrer de modo seguro para o animal e para o manipulador, sendo importante garantir o mínimo de estresse ao animal. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: i. avaliar os métodos de eutanásia praticados nas DVZ do estado de São Paulo; ii. comparar esses métodos com os guias nacionais e internacionais de práticas de eutanásia animal; iii. avaliar as metodologias aplicadas considerando a taxonomia e os hábitos alimentares das principais espécies de ocorrência de morcegos; e iv. propor a padronização dos procedimentos de eutanásia. Sessenta e cinco DVZs receberam o questionário online ou foram contatadas por telefone, dessas, trinta e três DVZs (50,8%) que responderam ao questionário foram incluídas no estudo e distribuídas em 11 mesorregiões para garantir anonimato. Os métodos de eutanásia reportados foram divididos em métodos químicos (injetáveis; inalatórios), físicos ou mistos. Os espécimes de morcegos (n = 550) foram identificados e classificados para avaliar os principais gêneros encontrados no estado. A localização da DVZ, as espécies, os hábitos alimentares e o método de eutanásia utilizado foram analisados. Os espécimes por família de espécies de morcegos foram Molossidae (n = 340), Phyllostomidae (n = 171) e Vespertilionidae (n = 39). Métodos químicos foram utilizados em 25 DVZs (75,75%), físicos em 5 (15,15%) e mistos em 3 (9,09%). Não há uniformidade ou padronização nos métodos de eutanásia de morcegos, embora a maioria seja baseada em métodos químicos aceitáveis. É proposto um algoritmo para auxiliar o veterinário na escolha do método de eutanásia, que permite a padronização desses procedimentos para os morcegos, considerando as diferenças fisiológicas e respeitando as diretrizes técnicas, bioéticas e de bem-estar animal.(AU)

Behavioral assessment of Tambaqui juveniles (Colossoma macropomum) exposed to different ambient colors and social stress

Animal welfare regards the quality of life and the environment in which animals live or are exposed. Hence the importance of studies assessing the environmental influence on the biology and behavior of fishes from the Colossoma macropomum species, considering their higher potential for fish-farming and as a test organism in scientific research. This study aimed to assess, in a controlled environment, the behavioral changes expressed by juveniles from the Colossoma macropomum species exposed to different ambient colors or social situations. The results did not show an influence from the different ambient colors or social situations on fish distribution in the water column. The color pattern showed dark tones in black- and blue-colored environments, and light tones in white-colored environments or with the presence of a mirror. The time of locomotor activity/frequency did not change in any of the treatments of exposure to environments with colors and a mirror. Moreover, the fishes remained with folded fins and a straight posture, maintaining a pattern of rhythmic operculum beating in a normal frequency range described for the species. This suggests that animal welfare did not change in any of the situations tested and that there was a pattern of adaptive response to the type of environment.

Oral Health-Related Quality of Life among Children Aged 11-14 Years Old with and without Parental Care in South-East of Iran

ABSTRACT Objective: To measure the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and compare children with and without parental care. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 160 schoolchildren with parental care and 100 orphans in Kerman, Iran. After fulfilling the questionnaire voluntarily, a clinical examination was performed, and indices such as decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT), molar-incisor hypoplasia (MIH), modified gingival index (MGI), traumatic dental injury (TDI), and malocclusion were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS version 25 via the ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient test, Chi-Square test, and descriptive statistics. Results: Children without parents scored poorly for OHQRoL items compared to those with parents (p<0.001). DMFT was not significantly related to OHRQoL; however, missing teeth were correlated with the CPQ11-14 overall. Also, the TDI index had a significant relationship with CPQ mean score (p=0.02). Moreover, the difference in the mean CPQ11-14 score in children with TDI in the two groups was significant regarding the quality of life (0.031). Conclusion: OHRQoL differed significantly between children in the two groups, which can be influenced by gender and habits. Due to the vulnerability of welfare-supported children without parental care, these findings emphasize the value of preventive and health-promoting measures for this group of children.

Relación entre los sistemas políticos y el índice COP en 62 países durante el periodo 1970-2010 / Relationship between the political regime and the DMTF index in 62 countries in the period 1970-2010

Objetivo: determinar la relación de los sistemas políticos y sus trayectorias, según la clasificación de Navarro y Shi, con el índice COP en 62 países durante el periodo 1970-2010. Métodos: se utilizó un diseño ecológico retrospectivo. Para ello, fueron seleccionados países que cumplieran con al menos tres registros de los clasificados en el índice C.O.P a los 12 años de edad en el periodo 1970-2010. Una vez definida la muestra de países, se buscó información sobre las trayectorias políticas de cada país para caracterizar el sistema político y las condiciones de salud oral. El análisis de la información se realizó a partir de cruzar y triangular los datos de la presencia de caries en los países con cada categoría del sistema o régimen político. Resultados: los determinantes sociales y políticos macroestructurales que organizan los sistemas sanitarios influyen en el bienestar de la población de un país. De ahí que, el índice de C.O.P esté relacionado con los contextos políticos, apreciándose que, a mayor democracia, mejores resultados en salud oral. Conclusiones: la forma cómo los diferentes modelos políticos (socialdemócratas, conservadores, liberales y dictatoriales) organizan los sistemas sanitarios en cada Estado, en los 62 países analizados, ha influenciado sobre la experiencia de caries dental de la población (índice COP).

Objective: To determine the influence of political trajectories according to the classification of Navarro and Shi, with the DMTF index in 62 countries during the period 1970-2010. Methods: A retrospective ecological design was used. Countries that met at least three records of the national DMTF indices at 12 years of age in the period 1970-2010 were selected. Once the country sample was defined, information was sought on the political tradition of each country to characterize the political model and oral health conditions. The analysis of the information crossed and triangulated the caries data in the countries according to each category of political model, according to the perspective of the political parties in government. Results: The macro-structural social determinants that organize the health systems influence the well-being of the population in a country and the DMTF index is related to the political regimes, appreciating that the more democratic, the better results they present in oral health. Conclusions: There is an influence of political trajectories (Social Democrats, Conservatives, Liberals and Dictatorials) in the 62 countries analyzed on the experience of dental caries (DMTF index), which is mediated by the way in which political models organize health systems in each country.

Benefícios previdenciários de pescadores artesanais e marisqueiras em comunidade quilombola no Nordeste do Brasil / Social security benefits for small-scale fisherman in a quilombola community in northeastern Brazil

Resumo Introdução: a pesca artesanal e a mariscagem são consideradas atividades especiais, para fins de benefícios, no âmbito do Regime Geral de Previdência Social do Brasil. Objetivo: descrever o acesso aos benefícios previdenciários por uma população quilombola tradicional pesqueira no Nordeste do Brasil, cuja principal atividade ocupacional é a extração e beneficiamento de mariscos. Métodos: estudo transversal, descritivo, em uma comunidade da Ilha da Maré, em Salvador, Bahia, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas, utilizando questionários padronizados. Resultados: participaram 213 pescadores artesanais e marisqueiras, 76,5% do sexo feminino. Dentre os participantes, 62,9% não recebem nenhum tipo de benefício previdenciário. Apesar de se submeter a uma jornada de trabalho exaustiva (90,9%), com exposição a substâncias químicas (83,9%), ruído (69,9%) e radiação solar (88,2%), a maioria não obtém rendimentos que garantam a subsistência familiar (79,6%). Conclusão: há um importante déficit no recebimento de benefícios previdenciários em uma população quilombola tradicional que atende aos critérios de segurados especiais. Sugere-se adequação da legislação, de forma que o acesso aos benefícios se torne mais justo para as comunidades tradicionais.

Abstract Introduction: artisanal fishing and shellfish gathering are considered special activities under the Brazilian general social security system for the purposes of social security benefits. Objective: to describe the access to social security benefits for a traditional fishing quilombola community in northeastern Brazil, whose main occupational activity is shellfish extraction and processing. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in a community from Ilha da Maré, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Results: 213 fishermen (76.5% female) participated in the study, of which 62.9% did not receive social benefits. Although most participants undergoing an exhausting working hours (90.9%), with exposure to chemicals (83.9%), noise (69.9%) and solar radiation (88.2%), the majority of them do not earn an income that guarantees their family's subsistence (79.6%). Conclusion: there is an important deficit in social security benefits access for a traditional quilombola population that meets the criteria for special insurance. Legislation must be adapted to ensure fairer access to social benefits for this population.

Effect of prevalence of alcohol consumption and tobacco use in Mexican municipalities on early childhood development / Efecto de la prevalencia del consumo de alcohol y tabaco en municipios mexicanos sobre el desarrollo durante la primera infancia / Efeito da prevalência do consumo de álcool e tabaco em municípios mexicanos sobre o desenvolvimento durante a primeira infância

Abstract: One of the most critical time periods in childhood is from birth to five years of age. Children exposed to alcohol and/or tobacco via family members and neighborhood are at risk for childhood developmental delays. This study evaluated the association of early childhood development with the prevalence of alcohol consumption and tobacco use in Mexican municipalities. This is a cross-sectional study. Early childhood development information from 2,345 children aged from 36 to 59 months was obtained from the 2015 Mexican National Survey of Boys, Girls, and Women (ENIM). Data on alcohol consumption and tobacco use come from the 2016 Mexican National Survey on Drugs, Alcohol, and Tobacco Consumption (ENCODAT). Multilevel logistic models were fitted to evaluate the association of the prevalence of alcohol consumption and tobacco use with the inadequacy of early childhood development. Children living in municipalities with high prevalence of alcohol consumption (OR = 13.410; 95%CI: 2.986; 60.240) and tobacco use (OR = 15.080; 95%CI: 2.040; 111.400) were less likely to be developmentally on track regarding early childhood development after adjustment for individual variables related to the child's development and other environmental variables at municipal level. Childhood exposure to alcohol and tobacco in the neighborhood may directly contribute to inadequate early childhood development. These findings suggest that there is an urgent need to develop effective interventions aimed at reducing alcohol consumption and tobacco use in municipalities to ensure adequate early childhood development.

Resumen: El grupo de edad que se extiende desde el nacimiento hasta los 5 años es uno de los periodos más críticos en la infancia. Niños expuestos al alcohol y/o al tabaco a través de la familia y vecinos corren el riesgo de sufrir un retraso en el desarrollo infantil. Este estudio evaluó la asociación del desarrollo durante la primera infancia con la prevalencia del consumo de alcohol y tabaco en municipios mexicanos. Se trata de un estudio transversal. Las informaciones sobre el desarrollo durante la primera infancia de 2.345 niños de 36 a 59 meses se obtuvieron a través de la Encuesta Nacional de los Niños, Niñas y Mujeres en México (ENIM) de 2015. Los datos sobre el consumo de alcohol y tabaco son de la Encuesta Nacional de Consumo de Drogas, Alcohol y Tabaco en México (ENCODAT) de 2016. Se ajustaron los modelos logísticos multiniveles para evaluar la asociación de la prevalencia de consumo de alcohol y tabaquismo con desarrollo durante la primera infancia inadecuado. Los niños que viven en municipios que tienen una alta prevalencia de consumo de alcohol (OR = 13,410; IC95%: 2,986; 60,240) y tabaquismo (OR = 15,080; IC95%: 2,040; 111,400) se asociaron con la probabilidad más alta de tener un desarrollo durante la primera infancia inadecuado tras el ajuste de las variables individuales relacionadas al desarrollo del niño y a otras variables ambientales en nivel municipal. La exposición infantil al alcohol y al tabaco en la vecindad puede contribuir directamente a un desarrollo durante la primera infancia inadecuado. Estos hallazgos indican una necesidad urgente de desarrollar intervenciones eficaces destinadas a reducir el consumo de alcohol y tabaquismo en los municipios para asegurar un desarrollo durante la primera infancia adecuado.

Resumo: A faixa etária que se estende do nascimento aos 5 anos de idade é um dos períodos mais críticos na infância. Crianças expostas ao álcool e/ou tabaco por meio de familiares e vizinhos estão em risco de atraso no desenvolvimento infantil. Este estudo avaliou a associação do desenvolvimento durante a primeira infância com a prevalência do consumo de álcool e tabaco em municípios mexicanos. Trata-se de um estudo transversal. As informações sobre o desenvolvimento durante a primeira infância de 2.345 crianças de 36 a 59 meses foram obtidas pela Pesquisa Nacional Sobre Crianças e Mulheres no México (ENIM) de 2015. Os dados sobre consumo de álcool e tabaco são da Pesquisa Nacional sobre Consumo de Drogas, Álcool e Tabaco no México (ENCODAT) de 2016. Modelos logísticos multiníveis foram ajustados para avaliar a associação da prevalência de consumo de álcool e tabagismo com desenvolvimento durante a primeira infância inadequado. Crianças que vivem em municípios com alta prevalência de consumo de álcool (OR = 13,410; IC95%: 2,986; 60,240) e tabagismo (OR = 15,080; IC95%: 2,040; 111,400) foram associadas à maior probabilidade de ter um desenvolvimento durante a primeira infância inadequado após ajuste às variáveis individuais relacionadas ao desenvolvimento da criança e a outras variáveis ambientais em nível municipal. A exposição infantil ao álcool e tabaco na vizinhança pode contribuir diretamente para o desenvolvimento durante a primeira infância inadequado. Estas descobertas demonstram uma necessidade urgente de desenvolver intervenções eficazes destinadas a reduzir o consumo de álcool e tabagismo nos municípios para garantir um desenvolvimento durante a primeira infância adequado.
