While image-difference metrics show good prediction performance on visual data, they often yield artifact-contaminated results if used as objective functions for optimizing complex image-processing tasks. We investigate in this regard the recently proposed color-image-difference (CID) metric particularly developed predicting gamut-mapping distortions. present an algorithm gamut mapping employing CID function. Resulting images contain various artifacts, which are addressed by multiple...
The progressive diminishment of motor capacities due to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) causes a severe communication deficit. development Alternative Communication software aids ALS patients in overcoming issues and the detection signals plays big role this task. In paper, volunteer eye-blinking is proposed as human–computer interaction signal an intelligent Computer Vision detector was built for handling captured data real-time using generic webcam. eye-blink treated extension...
The Virtual Learning Environment of the Brazilian Health System (AVASUS) is a free and open distance education platform Ministry (MS). AVASUS scalable virtual learning environment that has surpassed 800,000 users, 2 million enrollments, 310 courses in its catalog. objective this paper was to assess impacts educational offerings on health services course participants' professional practice. This study analyzed data from AVASUS, National Registry Care Facilities (CNES), Occupational...
Brazil has one of the largest prison populations globally, with over 682,000 imprisoned people. Prison health is a public emergency as it presents increasingly aggravating disease rates, mainly sexually transmitted infections (STI). And this problem already affects both developed and developing nations. Therefore, when thinking about intervention strategies to improve scenario in Brazil, course "Health Care for People Deprived Freedom" (ASPPL), aimed at health, was developed. This...
Education, with an emphasis on prison health, has acted as a policy inducing changes in work processes, which the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) used, and is present permanent health education, promotes care for people deprived of liberty. This article aims to analysis impacts strategy massive education Brazil from perspective professionals other actors operating system. The data used study come questionnaire consisting 37 questions applied nationwide between March June 2022....
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare neuromuscular degenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons, which leads to gradual atrophy skeletal and respiratory muscles (1)(2)(3). The etiology ALS multifactorial (2). typically begins in specific region, affecting upper or lower limbs, bulbar areas, system. As it progresses, results muscle paralysis and/or dysfunction (4).Malnutrition common among patients, with prevalence ranging from 16% 55% at time...
A empatia é uma habilidade fundamental para a construção e manutenção de relações interpessoais, permitindo aos indivíduos compreender compartilhar as emoções dos outros. Esta revisão narrativa examina os mecanismos biológicos subjacentes à empatia, com foco nos fatores genéticos, neuroquímicos nas intervenções terapêuticas voltadas transtornos mentais que apresentam déficits nessa capacidade. Os genes OXTR, COMT SLC6A4 exercem impacto significativo sobre variabilidade individual da...
The translational research approach aims to accelerate the innovation process. In healthcare sector, this process is highly regulated and requires a broad set of skills. This study with researchers from Brazilian institutions aimed identify knowledge, skills, structures that permeate translating into medical devices what extent they are present in groups working area. A structured questionnaire was applied which characteristics participants level mastery each skill were analyzed. Fisher's...
Since the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, vaccination has been core strategy to mitigate spread of SARS-CoV-2 in humans. This paper analyzes impact on hospitalizations and deaths state Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. We analyzed data from 23,516 hospitalized patients diagnosed between April 2020 August 2021. excluded through direct occupancy, unknown outcomes, unconfirmed cases, resulting 12,635 cross-referenced with immunization status during hospitalization. Our results indicated that...
In this work, we present a novel way in which DRAM modules, are found inherently many IoT devices, can be used to enhance the security of such devices. We test robustness two DRAM-based primitives, namely retention-based PUFs and Row Hammer PUFs, external factors, i.e., ambient temperature voltage variations. As both types proven highly dependent on temperature, we, then, discuss ways implement cryptographic applications robust way, no longer being affected by Finally, also proof-of-concept...
Effective and timely detection is vital for mitigating the severe impacts of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI), including syphilis HIV. Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) sensors have shown promise as diagnostic tools these STI, offering a pathway towards cost-effective solutions in primary health care settings.

The improvement of laboratory diagnosis is a critical step for the reduction syphilis cases around world. In this paper, we present development an impedance-based method detecting T. pallidum antigens and antibodies as auxiliary tool diagnosis. We evaluate voltammetric signal obtained after incubation in carbon or gold nanoparticle-modified electrodes presence absence Poly-L-Lysine. Our results indicate that from was sufficient to distinguish between infected non-infected samples immediately...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a complex and rare neurodegenerative disease given its heterogeneity. Despite being known for many years, few countries have accurate information about the characteristics of people diagnosed with ALS, such as data regarding diagnosis clinical features disease. In Brazil, lack ALS limits research progress public policy development that benefits affected by this health condition. context, article aims to show digital solution application research,...
High Performance Computing (HPC) aggregates computing power in order to solve large and complex problems different knowledge areas. Nowadays, HPC users can utilize virtualized infrastructures as a low-cost alternative deploy their applications. However, virtualization brings some challenges for HPC, specially regard overhead caused by hyper visors. In this work, our main goal is analyze the performance of two visors (KVM Virtual Box) under activities, considering full virtualization, Para...
