RESUMO

This paper describes a data collection experiment focused on researching indoor positioning systems using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices. The study was conducted in a real-world scenario with 150 test points and collected signals from 11 mobile devices. The dataset contains RSSI values from the mobile devices in relation to 15 fixed anchor nodes in the experimentation scenario. The dataset includes data on device identification, labels and coordinates of test points, and the room where the data was collected. The data is organized as CSV files and offers valuable information for researchers developing and assessing location models. By sharing this dataset, we aim to support the creation of robust and precise indoor localization models.

RESUMO

Introduction: Syphilis is a systemic infectious disease caused by Treponema pallidum and is a public health problem in Brazil, since it is epidemiologically growing in the Brazilian population. Objective: To describe the occurrence of congenital syphilis and the profile of reported cases in the population of the city of Vitória-ES. Methods: This was a descriptive study with a quantitative approach aimed at analyzing congenital syphilis. The study population consisted of all notifications found in the Notifiable Diseases Information System referring to congenital syphilis cases in the municipality of Vitória ­ ES in the period 2010­2020. Results: A total of 1,158 cases of congenital syphilis were reported in Vitória, where 36.4% were in the first trimester of pregnancy; most infants (95.7%) were diagnosed less than 7 days after birth. There was a predominance of mothers aged between 20 and 29 years (48.1%), and 61.8% of cases were recorded in brown-skinned pregnant women with low education. Prenatal care was provided to 76.2% of the pregnant women, but the treatment regimen was considered inappropriate in 54.1% of the cases. Conclusion: The large number of cases, despite failure in prenatal coverage with inadequate maternal treatment, point to poor quality of prenatal care, with congenital syphilis in the absolute majority of cases failing prenatal care. The findings indicate the need of improvements in the implementation of prenatal care that, if diagnosis and proper treatment occurs before the 36th week up to the 40th week, the case will be properly treated syphilis and will not be a congenital syphilis case

Introdução: A sífilis, uma doença infectocontagiosa sistêmica causada pelo Treponema pallidum, é um problema de saúde pública no Brasil, visto que se apresenta epidemiologicamente ascendente na população brasileira. Objetivo: Descrever a ocorrência da sífilis congênita (SC) e o perfil dos casos notificados na população do município de Vitória-ES. Métodos: Pesquisa descritiva com abordagem quantitativa, com o intuito de analisar a sífilis congênita; a população do estudo foi constituída por todas as notificações encontradas no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) referentes aos casos de sífilis congênita no município de Vitória-ES, no período de 2010 a 2020. Resultados: Foram notificados 1.158 casos de sífilis congênita no município de Vitória, que somaram 36,4% no primeiro trimestre da gravidez; a maioria das crianças (95,7%) foi diagnosticada menos de sete dias depois do nascimento. Verificou-se predominância em mães com idade entre 20 e 29 anos (48,1%); 61,8% dos diagnósticos foram registrados em gestantes da cor parda e baixa escolaridade. O pré-natal foi realizado em 76,2% gestantes, entretanto o esquema de tratamento foi considerado inadequado em 54,1% das notificações. Conclusão: O grande número de casos, não obstante a falha na cobertura pré-natal com inadequação do tratamento materno, aponta má qualidade de pré-natal,sendo a sífilis congênita na maioria absoluta dos casos falha no pré-natal. Os achados indicam a necessidade de melhorias na implementação do pré-natal que, se a conduta de diagnóstico e tratamento correto ocorrer antes da 36ª semana até 40ª semana, o caso será de sífilis adequadamente tratada e não será de sífilis congênita

RESUMO

Large-scale fluid flow in porous media demands intense computations and occurs in the most diverse applications, including groundwater flow and oil recovery. This article presents novel computational strategies applied to reservoir geomechanics. Advances are proposed for the efficient assembly of finite element matrices and the solution of linear systems using highly vectorized code in MATLAB. In the CPU version, element matrix assembly is performed using conventional vectorization procedures, based on two strategies: the explicit matrices, and the multidimensional products. Further assembly of the global sparse matrix is achieved using the native sparse function. For the GPU version, computation of the complete set of element matrices is performed with the same strategies as the CPU approach, using gpuArray structures and the native CUDA support provided by MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox. Solution of the resulting linear system in CPU and GPU versions is obtained with two strategies using a one-way approach: the native conjugate gradient solver (pcg), and the one provided by the Eigen library. A broad discussion is presented in a dedicated benchmark, where the different strategies using CPU and GPU are compared in processing time and memory requirements. These analyses present significant speedups over serial codes.

RESUMO

The objective of this work is to physically characterize and analyze synthetic carbonate rocks through microtomography and petrography techniques, focusing on a comparative analysis before and after degradation with a reactive fluid. For this study, physical characterization analysis with computerized microtomography and petrography on the samples before and after the acidification procedure was performed. The petrographic analysis verified an increase in both intergranular and intragranular porosities after dissolution. The microtomography analysis quantified the maximum increase in porosity, from 11.8 to 41.3% in the two-dimensional analysis and 31.6-52% in the three-dimensional analysis of the porous structures. Furthermore, the pores were quantified according to their area, and data was obtained on the orientation of the pores, providing insight into the preferred paths of fluid flow. It was also observed that the microtomography technique was an effective tool for characterizing fractures in the samples before and after dissolution. Such analyses are crucial for the extraction and injection of fluids at high depths due to the mechanical and physical risks arising from the dissolution of minerals as well as changes in pressure, temperature, and saturation, all of which affect the stress state of the reservoir rock.

RESUMO

The main goal of an Indoor Positioning System (IPS) is to estimate the position of mobile devices in indoor environments. For this purpose, the primary source of information is the signal strength of packets received by a set of routers. The fingerprint technique is one of the most used techniques for IPSs. By using supervised machine learning techniques, it trains a model with the received signal intensity information so it can be used to estimate the positions of the devices later in an online phase. Although the k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) is one of the most widely used classification methods due to its accuracy, it has no scalability since a sample that needs to be classified must be compared to all other samples in the training database. In this work, we use a novel hierarchical navigable small world graph technique to build a search structure so the location of a sample can be efficiently found, allowing the IPSs to be used in large-scale scenarios or run on devices with limited resources. To carry out our performance evaluation, we proposed a synthetic IPS dataset generator as well as implemented a complete real-world, large-scale IPS testbed. We compared the performance of our graph-based solution with other known kNN variants, such as Kd-Tree and Ball-Tree. Our results clearly show the performance gains of the proposed solution at 98% when compared to the classic kNN and at least 80% when compared to tree-based approaches.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to measure the reliability, internal consistency, construct validity, and floor and ceiling effects of the Brazilian version of the Self-Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain (SEFIP-dance) instrument. METHODS: This was a questionnaire validation study. Both professional dancers and those who use dance as a recreational activity were included in the study. For test-retest reliability, SEFIP-dance was administered to the same dancer at 2 different times, with an interval of 7 days between the moments. For construct validity, Spearman's correlation coefficient (r s) was used to determine the magnitude of the correlations between SEFIP-dance and the Numerical Rating Scale, the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey, the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire for general pain, and the Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 111 dancers were recruited and included in the study. From this total sample, a subsample of 31 was used for the calculations of test-retest reliability: when considering each item of SEFIP-dance, we observed adequate κ values (κ ≥ 0.52); considering the total score, we observed excellent reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.94). In addition, we identified adequate values for internal consistency (Cronbach's α ≥ 0.80). We observed significant correlations of the SEFIP-dance total score with the Numerical Rating Scale, 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey, the Roland-Morris questionnaire, and the Örebro Musculoskeletal Pain Questionnaire (r s varying between 0.248 and 0.489). Ceiling and floor effects were not observed. CONCLUSION: This study found that the Brazilian Portuguese version of SEFIP-dance has psychometric properties suitable for its use in dancers.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Among the many techniques available for bariatric surgery, the Mini Gastric Bypass is a safe, technically simple and effective option. However, it may present with postoperative complications, being the perforated gastric ulcer one of the most relevant ones. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A female patient of 41 years of age, with past medical history of a laparoscopic MGB performed 2 year before, presented with 12 hours of sharp and abruptly initiated abdominal pain, with diffuse presentation with suspected perforated acute abdomen after initial medical assessment and examination. Imaging propaedeutic was performed and confirmed a small pneumoperitoneum the patient was submitted to a laparoscopy with closure of the leak and omental patch (Graham's patch) after a thorough abdominal irrigation with saline solution. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the fourth day after surgery. DISCUSSION: One of the most common complications after and MGB surgery is the occurrence of gastric ulcers and main manifestation of the anastomotic marginal ulcers (MU) is the perforation. The treatment of the perforated peptic ulcer can be performed via laparoscopic or laparotomic approach. The main objective, regardless of the method used to access the abdominal cavity, is to identify and close the perforation. CONCLUSION: The perforated gastric ulcer is a complication of the mini bariatric bypasses, and the laparoscopic treatment of the perforation associated with thorough irrigation for of the abdominal cavity and omentoplasty present good results for management of this complication.
