RESSONÂNCIAS DO HOME OFFICE E DAS RELAÇÕES INTERPESSOAIS VIRTUAIS SOBRE A SAÚDE DO TRABALHADOR

A pandemia de COVID-19 produziu efeitos sobre as organizações e saúde dos trabalhadores, fazendo surgir com força a necessidade do home office. Esta pesquisa objetivou avaliar as ressonâncias das relações interpessoais virtuais sobre a saúde de 57 trabalhadores em home office. Os dados foram coletados por meio de questionário eletrônico. As questões fechadas foram analisadas por meio de estatística descritiva e as abertas, através da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciam que o home office produziu transformações no modo do trabalhador realizar sua atividade e se relacionar. Tais mudanças podem estar gerando prejuízos para a saúde, como o verificado aumento de sintomas de estresse

ANÁLISE DA INTERFACE SUSCETIBILIDADE, RISCO E PLANEJAMENTO URBANO: ESTUDO DE CASO DOS INSTRUMENTOS POLÍTICOS DE SÃO JOÃO DEL-REI/ MINAS GERAIS

Studies and discussions on urban planning aimed at preventing risks and disasters have been increasing in recent decades, especially since the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the City Statute. Additionally, the rising frequency of natural phenomena, such as floods and landslides, has begun to affect cities. Despite this, few municipalities are structurally and technically prepared to prevent and respond to these situations. Many of them do not even associate or incorporate the theme of “susceptibility” into their planning policies and plans, thereby favoring the expansion of risk areas. In light of these challenges, this study presents an investigation and analysis of the presence or absence of this theme in the urban planning policies and plans in the city of São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais. As a result, contradictions and deficiencies were identified regarding the inclusion of the theme, as well as inconsistencies in microzoning.En las últimas décadas, ha habido un aumento en los estudios y discusiones sobre planificación urbana orientada a la prevención de riesgos y desastres, especialmente a partir de la promulgación de la Constitución Federal de 1988 y el Estatuto de la Ciudad. Además, la creciente frecuencia con la que fenómenos naturales, como inundaciones y deslizamientos, afectan a las ciudades ha impulsado este debate. A pesar de ello, son pocos los municipios preparados estructural y técnicamente para prevenir y responder a estas situaciones. Muchos de ellos ni siquiera asocian o incorporan el tema de “susceptibilidad” en sus planes y políticas de planificación, lo que favorece la expansión de las áreas de riesgo. En este contexto, este estudio presenta una investigación y análisis de la presencia o ausencia de este tema en los planes y políticas de planificación urbana de São João del-Rei, Minas Gerais. Como resultado, se identificaron contradicciones y deficiencias en la inclusión de este tema, así como inconsistencias en la microzonificación.Os estudos e discussões sobre o planejamento urbano direcionado à prevenção de riscos e desastres têm sido crescentes nas últimas décadas, sobretudo, a partir da Constituição Federal de 1988, do Estatuto da Cidade e, também, da frequência com que fenômenos naturais, como inundações e deslizamentos, passaram a atingir as cidades. Apesar disso, são poucos os municípios preparados estrutural e tecnicamente para prevenir e agir diante dessas situações. Muitos deles nem associam ou inserem a temática “suscetibilidade” aos planos e políticas de planejamento, favorecendo a ampliação das áreas de risco. Diante disso, esse estudo apresenta uma investigação e análise da presença, ou não, desse tema nos planos e políticas de planejamento urbano de São João del-Rei/MG

Influência da osteoartrite de mãos na força, na preensão e na função do membro superior/Influence of hand osteoarthritis in the holding, strength and function of the upper limb

O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a força de extensão e flexão do punho e a função do membro superior em sujeitos com Osteoartrite de Mão nos estágios iniciais da doença, comparando com sujeitos controle. Participaram deste estudo 10 voluntários com diagnóstico médico de osteoartrite de mão (GOAM) e 10 voluntários saudáveis, pareados pela idade e sexo, para compor o grupo controle (GC). Os grupos foram homogêneos quanto aos dados antropométricos de idade (GC: 57,9 ± 7,32; GOAM: 57,5 ± 6,77;), peso (GC: 70 ± 13,24; GOAM: 69 ± 15,63) e altura (GC: 1,60 ± 0,06; GOAM: 1,61 ± 0,07). Em relação ao questionário DASH foi encontrada diferença estatística entre os grupos, com o GOAM apresentando maiores valores (GC: 2,25 ± 4,38; GOAM: 28,66 ± 21,19), mostrando que a função do membro superior está comprometida em sujeitos que possuem osteoartrite na mão. No entanto, quando comparamos a média dos picos do torque flexor (GC: 13,21 ± 7,11; GOAM: 12,23 ± 4,60) e extensor (GC: 3,30 ± 1,80; GOAM: 4,60 ± 3,40) do punho, não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos. A ausência de diferença estatística pode estar relacionado ao fato de que os indivíduos do GOAM estarem nos graus iniciais da doença, ou seja, grau II e III, mostrando que a doença ainda não comprometeu a força destes músculos. Assim, poderíamos inferir que as alterações funcionais apresentadas por esses sujeitos podem ser decorrentes dos sintomas da doença (dor e rigidez).   The aim of this study was to evaluate the strength and flexion of the wrist and the function of the upper limb in subjects with Hand Osteoarthritis in the early stages of the disease, comparing with control subjects. Ten volunteers with a medical diagnosis of hand osteoarthritis (GOAM) and 10 healthy volunteers, matched by age and sex, were included in the study to form the control group (CG). The groups were homogeneous regarding the anthropometric data of age (GC: 57.9 ± 7.32, GOAM: 57.5 ± 6.77), weight (GC: 70 ± 13.24; GOAM: 69 ± 15.63) and height (GC: 1.60 ± 0.06; GOAM: 1.61 ± 0.07). Regarding the DASH questionnaire, a statistical difference was found between the groups, with GOAM presenting higher values (CG: 2.25 ± 4.38; GOAM: 28.66 ± 21.19), showing that upper limb function is compromised In subjects who have osteoarthritis in their hands. However, when comparing the mean of the flexor torque peaks (GC: 13.21 ± 7.11, GOAM: 12.23 ± 4.60) and extensor (GC: 3.30 ± 1.80, GOAM: 4, 60 ± 3.40) of the wrist, there was no statistical difference between the groups. The absence of statistical difference may be related to the fact that GOAM individuals are in the initial stages of the disease, that is, grade II and III, showing that the disease has not yet compromised the strength of these muscles. Thus, we could infer that the functional alterations presented by these subjects may be due to the symptoms of the disease (pain and stiffness).Keywords: Hand osteoarthritis, isokinetic dynamometer, flexor torque of the wrist, extensor torque of the wrist.Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la fuerza de extensión y flexión del puño y la función del miembro superior en sujetos con Osteoartritis de Mano en las etapas iniciales de la enfermedad, comparando con sujetos control.

Clinical-Functional Vulnerability, Functional Capacity, and Falls in Octogenarians with Different Physical Activity Levels&mdash;A Cross-Sectional Study

Aim: To compare differences between frailty, functional capacity, and fall prevalence among community-dwelling oldest-old adults regarding their physical activity levels. Methods: Two hundred and thirty-nine octogenarians (80+ years) were allocated according to their physical activity as insufficiently active (&lt;150 min week&minus;1; n = 98; 84.4 &plusmn; 3.7 years), active (150 to 300 min week&minus;1, n = 81, 83.9 &plusmn; 3.1 years), and very active (&gt;300 min week&minus;1, n = 60; 83.8 &plusmn; 3.4 years). Frailty (CFVI-20 questionnaire), functional capacity (Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test, Timed Up and Go, Balance, and handgrip strength), fall history, and physical activity were assessed. Results: The insufficiently active group was the frailest and presented the worst functional performance compared to the other groups. The fall prevalence was higher in the insufficiently active (60.9%) compared to the active (26.4%) and very active (12.7%) groups. Conclusions: The group of insufficiently active octogenarians showed the greatest frailty, worst functional capacity, and higher fall prevalence than the active and very active groups. The engagement in physical activity of at least 300 min week&minus;1 is essential to reverse or minimize the deleterious effects of aging on frailty, functional capacity, and falls in octogenarians

Análise eletromiográfica de flexores e extensores de punho em sujeitos com osteoartrite de mão/Eletromiographic analysis of wrist flexors and extensors in subjects with hand osteoarthritis

O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar a magnitude de ativação dos músculos extensores e flexores do punho entre sujeitos com osteoartrite de mão (graus II e III) e sujeitos saudáveis, durante a execução de atividades funcionais. Participaram deste estudo 9 voluntários com diagnóstico médico de osteoartrite de mão (GOAM) e 9 voluntários saudáveis, pareados pela idade e sexo, para compor o grupo controle (GC). Os grupos foram homogêneos quanto aos dados antropométricos: idade (GC: 57,11 ± 7,29; GOAM: 56,78 ± 6,76;), peso (GC: 68,33 ± 12,88; GOAM: 67,78 ± 16,06) e altura (GC: 1,60 ± 0,06; GOAM: 1,61 ± 0,08). Em relação ao questionário AUSCAN foi encontrada diferença estatística entre os grupos nos três domínios (dor, rigidez e função), bem como na pontuação final, com o GOAM apresentando maiores valores (GC: 0,89 ± 0,93; GOAM: 23,22 ± 12,77), mostrando que a função da mão está comprometida. No entanto, ao compararmos a média de atividade elétrica dos músculos flexores e extensores do punho, durante as atividades de escrever e cortar um papel, não houve diferença estatística. A ausência de diferença estatística pode estar relacionado ao fato de que os indivíduos do GOAM estarem nos graus iniciais da doença, mostrando que a doença ainda não comprometeu a ativação muscular, nem o padrão de ativação muscular ao realizar atividades funcionais. Assim, poderíamos inferir que as alterações funcionais apresentadas por esses sujeitos podem ser decorrentes dos sintomas da doença. AbstractThe objective of this study was to compare the magnitude of activation of the extensor and flexor muscles of the wrist between subjects with osteoarthritis in the hand in grades II and III and healthy subjects during the performance of functional activities. Nine volunteers with a medical diagnosis of hand osteoarthritis (GOAM) and nine healthy volunteers, matched by age and sex, were included in the study to form the control group (CG).

However, when we compared the average electrical activity of the flexor and extensor muscles of the wrist, during the activities of writing and cutting a paper, there was no statistical difference. The absence of statistical difference may be related to the fact that GOAM individuals are in the early stages of the disease, showing that the disease has not yet compromised muscle activation nor the pattern of muscle activation when performing functional activities. Thus, we could infer that the functional alterations presented by these subjects may be due to the symptoms of the disease.Keywords: Hand osteoarthritis, electrical activity, wrist flexors, wrist extensors. Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue comparar la magnitud de activación de los músculos extensores y flexores del puño entre sujetos con osteoartritis en la mano en los grados II y III y sujetos sanos durante la ejecución de actividades funcionales.

Search for CPCP violation in D0^0→\to KS0^0_\mathrm{S}KS0^0_\mathrm{S} decays in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

International audienceA search is reported for charge-parity D$^0$$\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$$CP$ violation in D$^0$$\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ decays, using data collected in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV recorded by the CMS experiment in 2018. The analysis uses a dedicated data set that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 41.6 fb$^{-1}$, which consists of about 10 billion events containing a pair of ẖadrons, nearly all of which decay to charm hadrons. The flavor of the neutral D meson is determined by the pion charge in the reconstructed decays D$^{*+}$$\to$ D$^0\pi^+$ and D$^{*-}$$\to$ D$^0\pi^-$. The D$^0$$\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$$CP$ asymmetry in D$^0$$\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ is measured to be $A_{CP}$( K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$) = (6.2 $\pm$ 3.0 $\pm$ 0.2 $\pm$ 0.8)%, where the three uncertainties represent the statistical uncertainty, the systematic uncertainty, and the uncertainty in the measurement of the D$^0$ $\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ $CP$ asymmetry in the D$^0$ $\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}\pi^+\pi^-$ decay. This is the first D$^0$ $\to$ K$^0_\mathrm{S}$K$^0_\mathrm{S}$ $CP$ asymmetry measurement by CMS in the charm sector as well as the first to utilize a fully hadronic final state

Search for a resonance decaying to a W boson and a photon in proton-proton collisions at s= \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV using leptonic W boson decays

A search for a new charged particle X with mass between 0.3 and 2.0 TeV decaying to a W boson and a photon is presented, using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. Particle X has electric charge $\pm$1 and is assumed to have spin 0. The search is performed using the electron and muon decays of the W boson. No significant excess above the predicted background is observed. The upper limit at 95% confidence level on the product of the production cross section of the X and its branching fraction to a W boson and a photon is found to be 94 (137) fb for a 0.3 TeV resonance and 0.75 (0.81) fb for a 2.0 TeV resonance, for an X width-to-mass ratio of 0.01% (5%). This search presents the most stringent constraints to date on the existence of such resonances across the probed mass range. A statistical combination with an earlier study based on the hadronic decay mode of the W boson is also performed, and the upper limit at 95% confidence level for a 2.0 TeV resonance is reduced to 0.50 (0.63) fb for an X width-to-mass ratio of 0.01% (5%).A search for a new charged particle X with mass between 0.3 and 2.0 TeV decaying to a W boson and a photon is presented, using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$.
