The improvement in biomedical and healthcare resources has led to an increased life expectancy in the Brazilian population. This aging, coupled with new lifestyle habits, has contributed to the occurrence of non-communicable chronic diseases - particularly cancers, often incurable - making palliative care (PC) emerge as the sole therapeutic recourse. PC involves an approach aimed at promoting the quality of life for patients and their families in the face of therapeutic non-resolvability and the inevitability of life continuation. Early case identification, comprehensive assessment, pain management, and addressing other psychosocial distress are fundamental elements of this practice. Furthermore, healthcare services need to organize themselves in response to this growing demand, with Primary Health Care being a fertile environment for providing this care. Besides allowing geographical, cultural, and emotional proximity of the patient to their loved ones, ensuring their final days with integrity and autonomy. Such care is still offered at other levels, based on the logic of Health Care Networks, comprehensiveness, humanization, referral and counter-referral. The challenge for the curricula of health education courses is to keep up with these changes, seeking to train professionals with a scientific and humanitarian basis consistent with this new clinical reality, whether in specific disciplines – teaching focuses on deepening the technical and human aspects; or through transversal teaching – discussing PC throughout the training, in any discipline. Thus, it is expected that professionals will provide care, offering comfort and tranquility to the patient and their families, collaborating in the humanization of the "ways of dying" in Brazil.

The global push towards renewable energy sources as a response to climate change has led to an increasing overlap between renewable energy projects and critical wildlife habitats. This review explores the potential conflicts and synergies between renewable energy policies and wildlife conservation efforts. As nations strive to transition from fossil fuels to sustainable alternatives, the unintended consequences on biodiversity and ecosystems demand careful consideration. The analysis begins by examining the conflicts arising from the development of renewable energy infrastructure, such as wind and solar farms, in ecologically sensitive areas. These conflicts include habitat disruption, altered migration patterns, and the direct threat to endangered species. The paper also delves into the social implications of renewable energy projects, such as displacement of indigenous communities and the disruption of traditional land use. However, the review doesn't solely focus on conflicts but also explores coexistence strategies that can mitigate the adverse impacts of renewable energy development on wildlife. It highlights the importance of strategic project siting, wildlife-friendly design considerations, and effective mitigation measures. Additionally, the paper discusses the potential for incorporating ecological restoration efforts within renewable energy projects to enhance habitat quality and support biodiversity. Furthermore, the review addresses the role of policy frameworks in promoting sustainable coexistence between renewable energy development and wildlife conservation. It evaluates existing policies and proposes recommendations to strike a balance between the imperative of clean energy and the preservation of biodiversity. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the complex interplay between renewable energy policies and wildlife conservation, offering insights into potential conflicts and proposing coexistence strategies. Balancing the dual objectives of mitigating climate change and preserving biodiversity requires a nuanced understanding of the ecological, social, and policy dimensions involved. The findings presented contribute to a holistic approach that aims to harmonize renewable energy development and wildlife conservation for a sustainable future.

The study conducted in the laboratory conditions of Sylhet Sadar Upazila compared the bacterial load and organoleptic quality changes in lean fish (Oreochromis niloticus) and fatty fish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) across fresh, iced, and non-iced states. Preservation times of 6- and 8-hours intervals were examined, focusing on organoleptic quality changes and Total Viable Count (TVC). The evaluation of defect points and fish grading revealed that all fresh and iced Tilapia and Pangas samples were in excellent condition (Grade A) at 0, 6, and 8 hours, while non-iced samples at 6- and 8-hours intervals were in acceptable condition (Grade B). Notably, non-iced Pangas exhibited higher defect points than non-iced Tilapia at the same intervals. The bacterial load varied, with the highest observed in non-iced Pangas at an 8-hour interval in May and the lowest in iced Tilapia at a 6-hour interval in April. Compliance with International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods (ICMSF) standards was noted in both fish types across all states. The temperature dependence of bacterial growth was evident, with the highest bacterial load at 35 ℃ in May and the lowest at 24 ℃ in April. Overall, the study suggests that fresh Tilapia and Pangas, whether iced or non-iced at 6- and 8-hour intervals, meet ICMSF standards, ensuring their safety for consumption and potential export.

The integration of reproductive health into community development and social work represents a critical endeavor in promoting holistic well-being and empowerment at the grassroots level. This review highlights strategies for effective engagement and empowerment within this framework. Firstly, a comprehensive understanding of the community's socio-cultural context is imperative. Cultural sensitivity and competence enable practitioners to navigate sensitive reproductive health issues within diverse communities. Utilizing ethnographic approaches and community-based participatory research facilitates the identification of local beliefs, practices, and barriers related to reproductive health. Secondly, building collaborative partnerships with key stakeholders is essential. Engaging local leaders, healthcare providers, educators, and religious institutions fosters buy-in and facilitates the development of culturally relevant interventions. These partnerships enhance the reach and sustainability of reproductive health initiatives by leveraging existing community resources and networks. Thirdly, incorporating a rights-based approach is fundamental for empowering individuals and communities. By promoting reproductive rights, including access to comprehensive sexuality education, contraception, and safe abortion services, practitioners empower individuals to make informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health. Moreover, advocating for gender equality and addressing harmful gender norms and practices are integral components of fostering reproductive autonomy and empowerment. Furthermore, capacity-building efforts play a pivotal role in enhancing community resilience and sustainability. Equipping community members with knowledge and skills in reproductive health education, advocacy, and service provision enables them to take ownership of their health and drive sustainable change within their communities. Finally, leveraging innovative technologies and communication channels enhances the accessibility and effectiveness of reproductive health interventions. Mobile health applications, telemedicine, and social media platforms provide avenues for disseminating information, delivering services, and promoting dialogue on reproductive health issues. Integrating reproductive health into community development and social work requires a multi-faceted approach that prioritizes cultural competence, collaboration, rights-based empowerment, capacity-building, and innovation. By employing these strategies, practitioners can effectively engage communities and empower individuals to achieve optimal reproductive health outcomes and overall well-being.

Most Diptera belong to the Brachycera, a group characterized by the reduction or fusion of antennal segments to eight or fewer and by modifications to the larval head and mouthparts. The larvae of most species are predatory, although there are a few parasitoid groups as well. From a methodological point of view, the research was conducted using bibliometric and content analysis approaches. Bibliometrics is guided by the principle of analyzing scientific or technical activity through quantitative studies of publications, that is, through this approach. Document analysis was used as a data collection method to gather information from theoretical books, banks, university dissertations, scientific journals, documents, and digital platforms.

Background: The malaria disease is the outcome of the interaction among three elements which includes; man, mosquito and the parasite. The intensity of the disease is being regulated by the physical and socio-economic determinant in the area which interact with these elements. The physical conditions of the region determine the growth and proliferation of mosquito and parasite, while the socio-economic conditions of the people determine the distribution of mosquito and parasites. This piece of research work has been devoted to the study of vector species (Plasmodium), spatial-temporal incidence pattern of malaria i.e parasite load, physical and socio-economic determinants responsible for the spread of mosquito and parasites, control measures and risk factor assessment. The favourable explanatory variables considered in the prediction of malaria prevalence such as age group, gender, blood group and genotype presents suitable conditions to determine the validity of malaria prevalence across the metropolis which as well substantially contributed and facilitate the growth and diffusion of malarial incidence in Calabar Municipality. The data obtained was initially entered in Microsoft Excel (2016) and checked for errors after which it was exported to IBM SPSS Statistics 23 software for logistic regression analysis. The metropolis records high incidence of malaria. The predominant parasite plasmodium falciparum is considered vital for causing considerable morbidity and mortality in the area. From our analysis, it is observed that fifty nine of our patients were malaria negative and one hundred and one patients were malaria positive. The model predicted in respect to gender that seventy four percent of female population were malaria positive likewise the male gender predicted at eighty percent to be malaria positive.
背景:疟疾是人、蚊子和寄生虫这三个要素相互作用的结果。疾病的严重程度受该地区的自然条件和社会经济决定因素的影响,而这些因素又与这些因素相互作用。该地区的自然条件决定了蚊子和寄生虫的生长和繁殖,而人们的社会经济条件则决定了蚊子和寄生虫的分布。这项研究工作致力于研究病媒物种(疟原虫)、疟疾的时空发病模式(即寄生虫量)、蚊虫和寄生虫传播的自然和社会经济决定因素、控制措施和风险因素评估。在预测疟疾发病率时考虑的有利解释变量,如年龄组、性别、血型和基因型,为确定整个城市疟疾发病率的有效性提供了合适的条件,同时也大大促进和推动了卡拉巴尔市疟疾发病率的增长和扩散。获得的数据最初输入 Microsoft Excel(2016),检查无误后导出到 IBM SPSS Statistics 23 软件中进行逻辑回归分析。该市疟疾发病率较高。主要寄生虫恶性疟原虫被认为是造成该地区大量发病和死亡的重要原因。从我们的分析中可以看出,59 名患者为疟疾阴性,101 名患者为疟疾阳性。该模型根据性别预测,74% 的女性为疟疾阳性,而男性则有 80% 为疟疾阳性。

The intensity of the disease is being regulated by the physical and socio-economic determinant in the area which interact with these elements. The physical conditions of the region determine the growth and proliferation of mosquito and parasite, while the socio-economic conditions of the people determine the distribution of mosquito and parasites. This piece of research work has been devoted to the study of vector species (Plasmodium), spatial-temporal incidence pattern of malaria i.e parasite load, physical and socio-economic determinants responsible for the spread of mosquito and parasites, control measures and risk factor assessment. The favourable explanatory variables considered in the prediction of malaria prevalence such as age group, gender, blood group and genotype presents suitable conditions to determine the validity of malaria prevalence across the metropolis which as well substantially contributed and facilitate the growth and diffusion of malarial incidence in Calabar Municipality. The data obtained was initially entered in Microsoft Excel (2016) and checked for errors after which it was exported to IBM SPSS Statistics 23 software for logistic regression analysis. The metropolis records high incidence of malaria. The predominant parasite plasmodium falciparum is considered vital for causing considerable morbidity and mortality in the area.

One of the milkfish cultivation techniques (Chanos chanos) to increase pond productivity is a modular system. Modular system is a pond cultivation technique with a tiered plot model, where connecting between ponds is made, the purpose of which is to make milkfish easily move between ponds. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of modular system innovation techniques (tiered plots) in increasing the production of bait milkfish in traditional ponds in Usto Village, Mare District, Bone. The research was conducted from August to the end of November 2023, at the location of the 2023 Matching Fund - Kedaireka program in a traditional pond in Usto Village, Mare District, Bone Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The research method used is a quantitative research method with a type of experimental research. Primary data measurements include; water quality measurement, including; temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen. While the parameters of the organization include the length of the fish from stocking to harvest. The data analysis method used is descriptive statistical analysis, in order to obtain an overview of the success of modular system techniques in traditional ponds. The results of the study obtained that the modular system technique can increase fish growth quickly, with the process of transferring fish periodically between ponds, making fish experience different conditions and physiological conditions that feel new. The modular system provides an average fish growth rate of 4.5 cm within 3 months or an average of 0.15 cm per day, with the highest rate occurring in rearing pond I, which is during the initial phase of post-stunting maintenance, which is an average growth rate of 6.2 cm per month, or 0.21 per day. Thus, this modular system technique can be used to increase the productivity of traditional ponds.
