Abstract. The study examined the profiles of basic psychological needs satisfaction (BPNS) and frustration (BPNF) in a sample of older people living in French nursing homes. It is also addresses the relationships of these profiles with depressive symptoms and adaptation to nursing home. The residents ( N = 134) completed various French self-report questionnaires. Cluster analyses revealed five distinct profiles: (a) High BPNF ( n = 19); (b) Low BPN ( n = 36); (c) Moderate BPNS and low BPNF ( n = 23); (d) high BPNS and moderate BPNF ( n = 33); and (e) High BPNS ( n = 23). Practitioners and staff members should better respect residents’ needs if nursing homes are to become places to live rather than places only to receive care.

Abstract:
As a novel two-dimensional nanomaterial, black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNs) have good biocompatibility, biodegradability, and broadband saturable light absorption properties and, thus, have become a hot research topic in the biomedical field. However, BPNs suffer from poor stability caused by easy oxidative degradation and deactivation, and how to surface functionalize BPNs to improve their stability is a key issue to be solved. In this paper, we propose to realize the preparation of BPNs by the liquid-phase exfoliation method and study the surface functionalization modification of BPNs by silver ions (Ag+) and graphene oxide (GO). First, the preparation and characterization of BPNs were carried out by the liquid-phase exfoliation method to investigate the effect of process condition regulation on the planar size and thickness of BPNs, and the functionalization modification of BPNs by Ag+ and GO was carried out around the goal of enhancing the stability of BPNs. The experimental results showed that the stability of BPNs@Ag+ and BPNs@GO was significantly enhanced compared with that of unmodified BPNs. This study can be a reference for the future development of BP in the medical field.

Abstract:
Self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) posits basic psychological need satisfaction (BPNS) as essential for optimal functioning and health. Grounded in this framework, the current study examined the role of BPNS in dancers’ cognitive appraisals and hormonal and emotional responses to performance stress. Dancers reported their degree of BPNS 1 month before a solo performance. Threat and challenge appraisals of the solo were recorded 2 hr before the performance. Salivary cortisol and anxiety were measured 15 min before, and 15, 30, 45, and 60 min postperformance. Higher BPNS was associated with lower cortisol responses and anxiety intensity. Challenge appraisals mediated the association between BPNS and cortisol. Threat appraisals mediated the BPNS–anxiety intensity relationship. These findings point to the potential importance of performers’ BPNS for optimal emotional and hormonal homeostasis in performance conditions.

Abstract:
Background Basic psychological need satisfaction (BPNS) is a significant factor in a person’s development, especially for adolescents, and the failure to satisfy these basic needs may contribute to individuals’ aggressive behavior. However, it is still unclear about the underlying mechanism by which BPNS is negatively associated with aggressive behavior. This study aimed to explore the relationship between BPNS and aggressive behavior in Chinese adolescents, with a focus on the mediating role of negative affect and its gender differences. Method A sample of 1,064 junior high school students from three schools in China were selected randomly for the cross-sectional survey. The revised Need Satisfaction Scale, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and Youth’s Self-Report were used to measure BPNS, affect, and aggressive behavior. The proposed model was examined by the structural equation modeling test and multi-group comparison analysis. Results The results showed that BPNS was negatively linked with adolescents’ aggressive behavior, and this effect was mediated by negative affect. Moreover, multigroup analysis demonstrated that there existed a stronger negative association between BPNS and negative affect in female group. Also, the mediating effect of negative affect in the model was greater for girls. Conclusions Our findings highlighted the importance of BPNS in adolescents’ social behavior (i.e., aggressive behavior), and reveal disparate patterns in how BPNS affects aggressive behavior in girls as compared to boys.

Abstract:
Abstract The current study was conducted to examine the interactive effects of basic psychological needs satisfaction (BPNS), hedonic and eudaimonic motives on intrinsic regulation. To assess the causal relationship, two-wave time-lagged data collection was employed. A total of 159 youth athletes in Japan participated in online surveys twice (three-month time lag between two data points). The results indicated that the effect of BPNS on intrinsic regulation was moderated by hedonic and eudaimonic motives. Interestingly, BPNS negatively affected intrinsic regulation among youth athletes with low hedonic motives. This negative impact was further augmented when the level of eudaimonic motives was higher. Conversely, BPNS positively influenced intrinsic regulation among youth athletes with high hedonic motives. This positive impact of BPNS was more prominent when eudaimonic motives were lower. Overall, the findings suggest that when intrinsic regulation is the central concern, youth athletes should focus more on seeking enjoyment while putting self-development aside to maximize the positive impact of BPNS.

Abstract:
The aim of fitness technologies, a combination of wearables and associated applications, is to support users’ health and fitness regimes. The market for fitness technologies continues to increase, and the technologies themselves are quickly advancing. However, it is unclear how effective fitness technologies are in generating wellness outcomes, and there is concern regarding frequent discontinuance behaviors. Accordingly, we develop a model to explain how the perception that fitness technologies satisfy or frustrate users’ basic psychological needs (BPNs) in exercise mediates the relationships between the users’ goals for fitness technology use and psychological well-being and continuance. We find that users who start using fitness technologies for enjoyment, challenge, revitalization, affiliation, or to make positive improvements to their health or strength and endurance, are more likely to report that the fitness technologies are satisfying their BPNs, whereas users who start using them for stress management, social recognition, competition, or weight management are more likely to report BPNs frustration. Notably, users who start using fitness technologies for enjoyment and to make positive improvements to their health or strength and endurance are less likely to report BPNs frustration, and use driven by social recognition goals can decrease BPNs satisfaction. BPNs satisfaction is associated with both increased psychological well-being and continuance, whereas BPNs frustration is negatively associated with both. Fitness technologies must thus be perceived by users to satisfy their BPNs (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness) in exercise to ensure positive outcomes from use.

Abstract:
This study aims to explore the importance of basic psychological needs satisfaction (BPNS) and mindfulness of university students in their career adaptability (CA), career self-efficacy (CSE), and future career choice (CC). The sample consisted of 1026 undergraduate students, of which 495 (48.2%) were female and 531 (51.8%) male, from three public universities in the Amhara Region, Ethiopia. The assessments, such as the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale-Short Form, the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire Short Form, the Career Adapt-Ability Short Form Five Scale, the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction Scale, and the Career Choice scale instruments were used. Findings from a parallel mediation model showed that both CA and CSE had a direct positive effect on the BPNS of university students. Additionally, this study found that both BPNS and mindfulness had a substantial and positive direct effect on the students’ CC. Importantly, we found that both CA and CSE significantly and indirectly predicted the future CC through BPNS and mindfulness. In addition, BPNS and mindfulness also partially mediate the relationship between CA, CSE, and the students’ future CC. Importantly, we found that mindfulness and BPNS fully and partially mediated the relationship between CA, CSE, and CC. These results support the notion that both psychological constructs (BPNS and mindfulness) play a crucial role in explaining the relationship between CA, CSE, and CC. By enhancing students’ BPNS and mindfulness, institutions can empower students to make informed decisions about their future career paths, ultimately nurturing their personal and professional growth.

Abstract:
The fulfilment of Basic Psychological Needs (BPNS)—autonomy, competence, and relatedness—has become a crucial factor influencing employee well-being and corporate performance across all sectors. This study examines the influence of Basic Psychological Needs (BPNS) on employee motivation and performance in insurance companies based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT). Despite substantial research on BPNs in sectors including education and healthcare, their influence on the insurance industry, especially in Malaysia, remains inadequately investigated. The findings indicate that meeting these needs can cultivate a supportive work environment, alleviate workplace difficulties, and enhance employee engagement and organizational efficiency. This research fills the literature gap by contextualizing the significance of BPNS concerning the performance of insurance agencies, highlighting the relationship between psychological well-being and firm performance. This study systematically reviews current studies to highlight the possibility of utilizing BPNS satisfaction to improve staff retention, satisfaction, and productivity, fostering insurance companies' competitive growth.

Abstract:
Based on the potential of digital media (DM) to increase students’ motivation in physical education (PE), this study investigated the effects of a theory-based tablet and smartphone intervention on students’ motivation in PE. A total of 309 students (8th and 9th grade) participated over five weeks. The intervention group (n = 161) carried out DM-supported PE lessons. Basic psychological need satisfaction (BPNS) and behavioral regulation were assessed. Results show no significant differences between groups on BPNS and behavioral regulation. However, BPNS moderated behavioral regulation regardless of the group. The non-significant results on BPNS and behavioral regulation show that the intervention did not lead to a significant improvement in motivation, which may be due to too little autonomy support, too little attractive content, and too little fun for the students. Future studies should investigate students’ preferences for DM in PE and use these findings to develop interventions to support BPNS in PE.

Abstract:
In this work, I dealt with the field of Business Process Managent and Service Oriented Architecture. First I tried a comprehensive conceptual view of both through the definition of important principles. In BPM as a disciline I identified "life-cycle" as the most important principle for process optimization tools. For service-oriented architecture, I had to reduce the view to important principles related to composition of services. An important starting point in my work are the definitions of processes and services and their roles in BPM systems. It is a simplified view that helps connect modeled processes to Web services. Web services and orchestration is the most popular and most common usage of the service-oriented architecture. Composition is another important building block of SOA and is the basis for more realistic goals of SOA, such as greater enterprise agility, more efficient utilization of resources in the enterprise, etc. BPM discipline combines multiple elements and as it is typicaly multidisciplinary it combines process management and optimization through tools. These tools historically perform their roles well, but companies are now in a very competitive linked environment and must to behave differently. In my work I have stated firstly why would these areas could be beneficial to each other. The next part focused, what is the relationship with the life-cycle process for BPM and how it fits into the life-cycle services in SOA. Finally, I analyzed the current state mapping of BPMN, the most common notation for expressing processes in BPM, to BPEL. BPEL describes a process, but it is expressed as a programmatic sequential process, which is also executed in digital form. At work I have examined the role of the new version of the BPMN notation 2.0.

Abstract:
Motivés par le comptage des états de trous noirs BPS en quatre dimensions, nous analysons les couplages à quatre et six dérivées de champs scalaires dans l’action effective à basse énergie dans un vide de supergravité à 16 supercharges. À l’aide de calculs perturbatifs de l’action effective, de l’analyse des contraintes de supersymétrie et de symétrie de dualité, nous conjecturons que les coefficients exacts des couplages en quatre et six dérivées de champs de jauge en trois dimensions sont donnés par des intégrales modulaires à genre 1 et 2, respectivement, de fonctions de partition non-perturbatives et de formes modulaires méromorphes connues de travaux précédents. Nous montrons que ces propositions reproduisent les corrections perturbatives dans la limite de faible couplage, et que les contributions non-perturbatives reproduisent le comptage des états de trous noirs demi et quart-BPS, respectivement, dans la limite de décompactification de trois dimensions vers quatre dimensions. Dans le cas du comptage des microétats de trou noir quart-BPS, nous retrouvons pour les vecteurs premier les plus simple l'indice BPS prédit par la formule de Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde, ainsi que la dépendance précise dans les modules, puis nous proposons une prédiction pour tous les autres types de vecteurs premiers.

Based on perturbative calculation up to two loops, supersymmetry and duality arguments, we conjecture that the exact coefficient of the four- and six- derivative effective interaction in the gauge fields are given by genus one and two modular integrals of non-perturbative partition functions, and meromorphic modular forms known from previous work. We then show that these proposals reproduce known perturbative corrections at weak heterotic coupling limit, and that some of their non-perturbative instantonic corrections reproduce the counting of half and quarter-BPS black hole states, respectively, in the limit of decompactification from three to four dimensions. Regarding the quarter-BPS black hole counting, we recover for the simplest primitive vectors the BPS index predicted by the Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde formula, including the detailed moduli dependence, and we then give predictions for all other types of primitive vectors. We also extract two-instanton corrections from pairs of half-BPS black hole states, demonstrating consistency with supersymmetry constraints

Abstract:
The object of this work is to exploit various constructions of string theory and M-theory to yield new insights into supersymmetric theories in both four and three dimensions. In 4d, we extend work on Seiberg-Witten theory to study and compute BPS spectra of the class of complete N = 2 theories. The approach we take is based on the program of geometric engineering, in which 4d theories are constructed from compactifications of type IIB strings on Calabi-Yau manifolds. In this setup, the natural candidates for BPS states are D3 branes wrapped on supersymmetric 3-cycles in the Calabi-Yau. Our study makes use of the mathematical structure of quivers, whose representation theory encodes the notion of stability of BPS particles. Except for 11 exceptional cases, all complete theories can be constructed by wrapping stacks of two M5 branes on Riemann surfaces. By exploring the connection between quivers and M5 brane theories, we develop a powerful algorithm for computing BPS spectra, and give an in-depth study of its applications. In particular, we compute BPS spectra for all asymptotically free complete theories, as well as an infinite set of conformal \(SU(2)^k\) theories with certain matter content. From here, we go on to apply the insight gained from our 4d study to 3d gauge theories. We consider the analog of the M5 brane construction in the case of 3d N = 2 theories: pairs of M5 branes wrapped on a 3-manifold. Using the ansantz of R-flow, we study 3-manifolds consisting of Riemann surfaces fibered over R. When the construction is non-singular, the resulting IR physics is described by a free abelian Chern-Simons theory. The mathematical data of a tangle captures the data of the gauge theory, and the Reidemeister equivalances on tangles correspond to dualities of physical descriptions. To obtain interacting matter, we allow singularities in the construction. By extending the tangle description to these singular cases, we find a set of generalized Reidemeister moves that capture non-trivial mirror symmetries of 3d gauge theories. These results give a geometric origin to these well-known 3d dualities.<br>Physics

Abstract:
In this thesis we explore the finite N spectrum of BPS operators in four-dimensional supersymmetric conformal field theories (CFT), which have dual AdS gravitational descriptions. In the first part we analyze the spectrum of chiral operators in the free limit of quiver gauge theories. We find explicit counting formulas at finite N for arbitrary quivers, construct an orthogonal basis in the free inner product, and derive the chiral ring structure constants. In order to deal with arbitrarily complicated quivers, we develop convenient diagrammatic techniques: the results are expressed by associating Young diagrams and Littlewood-Richardson coefficients to modifications of the original quiver. We develop the notion of a "quiver character", which is a generalization of the symmetric group character, obeying analogous orthogonality properties. In the second part we analyze how the BPS spectrum changes at weak coupling, focusing on the N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills. We find a formal expression for the complete set of eighth-BPS operators at finite N, and use it to derive corrections to a near-BPS operator. In the third part of this thesis we move on to the strong coupling regime, where the dual gravitational description applies. The BPS spectrum on the gravity side includes D3-branes wrapping arbitrary holomorphic surfaces, a generalization of the spherical giant gravitons. Quantizing this moduli space gives a Hilbert space, which, via duality and nonrenormalization theorems, should map to the space of BPS operators derived in the weak coupling regime. We apply techniques from fuzzy geometry to study this correspondence between D3-brane geometries, quantum states, and BPS operators in field theory.

Abstract:
We attack the question of BPS occupancy in a wide class of 4d N = 2 quantum field theories. We first review the Seiberg-Witten approach to finding the low energy Wilsonian effective action actions of such theories. In particular, we analyze the case of Gaiotto theories, which provide a large number of non-trivial examples in a unified framework. We then turn to understanding the massive BPS spectrum of such theories, and in particular their relation to BPS quivers. We present a purely 4d characterization of BPS quivers, and explain how a quiver's representation theory encodes the solution to the BPS occupancy problem. Next, we derive a so called mutation method, based on exploiting quiver dualities, to solve the quiver's representation theory. This method makes previously intractable calculations nearly trivial in many examples. As a particular highlight, we apply our methods to understand strongly coupled chambers in ADE SYM gauge theories with matter. Following this, we turn to the general story of quivers for theories of the Gaiotto class. We present a geometric approach to attaining quivers for the rank 2 theories, leading to a very elegant solution which includes a specification of quiver superpotentials. Finally, we solve these theories by an unrelated method based on gauging flavor symmetries in their various dual weakly coupled Lagrangian descriptions. After seeing that this method agrees in the rank 2 case, we will apply our new approach to the case of rank n.<br>Physics

La recherche d’une théorie décrivant les états de hadrons à basse énergie est primordial pour la compréhension complète de la chromodynamique quantique. Dans ce domaine, les théories de Skyrme sont encore reconnues comme d’excellentes candidates. Existant depuis plus de soixante ans, plusieurs extensions ont été proposées et une d’entre elles fera l’objet de ce mémoire : l’extension quasi-BPS (Bogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield). L’énergie classique des configurations de ce modèle BPS est près de saturer une certaine borne qui assure que les états de la théorie ne seront presque pas liés, ce qui se rapproche grandement de l’observation expérimentale. La possibilité de réintroduire une énergie de liaison par l’ajout de perturbations ainsi que diverses contributions énergétiques ressortant de la quantification des états sera examinée. Nous verrons que cette approche est prometteuse, puisqu’elle permet d’obtenir des prédictions convaincantes sur la majorité des caractéristiques des noyaux atomiques.

Abstract:
We investigate some of the properties of D-brane configurations which behave as BPS monopoles. The two D-brane configurations we will study are the enhançon and D-strings attached to D3-branes.We will start by investigating D3-branes wrapped on a K3 manifold, which are known as enhançons. They look like regions of enhanced gauge symmetry in the directions transverse to the branes, and therefore behave as BPS monopoles. We calculate the metric on moduli space for n enhançons, following the methods used by Ferrell and Eardley for black holes. We expect the result to be the higher-dimensional generalisation of the Taub-NUT metric, which is the metric on moduli space for n BPS monopoles. Next we will study D-strings attached to D3-branes; the ends of the D-strings behave as BPS monopoles of the world volume gauge theory living on the D3-branes. In fact the D-string/D3-brane system is a physical realisation of the ADHMN construction for BPS monopoles. We aim to test this correspondence by calculating the energy radiated during D-string scattering, working with the non-Abelian Born-Infeld action for D-strings. We will then compare our result to the equivalent monopole calculation of Manton and Samols.

Abstract:
AbstractBusiness Process Simulation (BPS) is an approach to analyze the performance of business processes under different scenarios. For example, BPS allows us to estimate what would be the cycle time of a process if one or more resources became unavailable. The starting point of BPS is a process model annotated with simulation parameters (a BPS model). BPS models may be manually designed, based on information collected from stakeholders and empirical observations, or automatically discovered from execution data. Regardless of its origin, a key question when using a BPS model is how to assess its quality. In this paper, we propose a collection of measures to evaluate the quality of a BPS model w.r.t. its ability to replicate the observed behavior of the process. We advocate an approach whereby different measures tackle different process perspectives. We evaluate the ability of the proposed measures to discern the impact of modifications to a BPS model, and their ability to uncover the relative strengths and weaknesses of two approaches for automated discovery of BPS models. The evaluation shows that the measures not only capture how close a BPS model is to the observed behavior, but they also help us to identify sources of discrepancies.

Abstract:
Abstract Titanium is the most common Bipolar Plate (BPP) material used in Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolyzers (PEMWE) today, but compared to other metals, titanium is expensive, hard to machine and a critical raw material. The objective of this work has been to reduce the cost of BPPs for PEMWE by using stainless steel instead of titanium as base material. However, the electrochemical potential inside an operating PEMWE can reach 2 V vs the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) which will result in corrosion of bare stainless steel. Corrosion resistant titanium-based coatings have thus been added to the steel surface by use of magnetron sputtering. Ex-situ corrosion testing of the different coatings in a simulated PEMWE environment has been performed. Initial testing has shown that titanium coated stainless steel is a promising alternative to titanium BPPs.

Abstract:
Abstract In this paper, at first different corrosion mechanisms of bipolar plates (BPPs) in fuel cells and water electrolyzers are briefly reviewed. These corrosion mechanisms include corrosion of cathode and anode plates under active area conditions, shunt-current assisted corrosion, and possibility of galvanic and localized corrosion of bipolar plates. Then application of ex-situ corrosion test methods to study the corrosion behavior of bipolar plates are reviewed and their abilities and limitations with respect to in-situ operational conditions will be discussed in detail. Finally, application of the “Point Defect Model” to calculate the iron release rate under simulated operational conditions of bipolar plates of passive metals and alloys based to compare with ex-situ corrosion test results will be reviewed. This model can be used for estimating the formation rate of soluble and insoluble corrosion products that can cause acceleration of membrane chemical degradation as well as increasing contact resistance between the BPPs and Gas Diffusion Media (GDM), respectively.

Abstract:
Abstract Occupant Behavior (OB) is one of the key determinants in building energy use. To acquire accurate and reliable Building Performance Simulation (BPS) results, significant attention must be focused on the precise representation of OB in BPSs. The simplistic manner in which OB has usually been considered in BPSs, leads to a considerable performance gap between actual and simulated building energy use. Despite the presence of numerous review articles on various elements of OB, there is still a need for a thorough review that combines and evaluates recent studies in one article. In this review, the most recent research studies on different aspects of OB in BPS are aggregated, evaluated, and summarized. Available OB models and their application in BPS tools are outlined. A summary of the data collection methods utilized in OB modeling is provided. Common quantitative OB modeling methodologies in BPS are discussed. The primary uses, benefits, and shortcomings of each modeling methodology are explained. The available literature on the impact of various OB patterns and occupant interaction with building systems is assessed. In summary, this work presents the state-of-the-art OB models in BPS, allowing researchers and practitioners to select and implement appropriate OB models in accessible BPS tools.

Abstract:
Abstract The complex operational conditions of in-service pipelines and the extended service time make them susceptible to metal loss, which can lead to pipeline failure. However, quantifying the defect depth presents a challenge to current research. The depth quantification accuracy of pipeline defects can be improved, and the defect state of long-distance pipelines can be accurately controlled by building a model based on the internal magnetic flux signal. This study performed a pulling experiment for internal magnetic flux leakage detection in pipelines and extracted the triaxial leakage signals of 60 internal and external pipeline defects. Firstly, Pearson correlation coefficient is used to extract the seven main influencing factors affecting the depth of pipeline leakage defects, namely axial signal peak-valley value, axial signal waveform area, axial signal waveform energy, circumferential signal peak-valley value, radial signal peak-valley value, axial integral signal peak-valley value, and radial integral signal peak-valley value. Secondly, the initial weights and thresholds of the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) were optimized using the African Vulture Optimization Algorithm (AVOA). Furthermore, an AVOA-BPNN-based defect depth prediction model for pipe leakage detection was established to address the problem challenge of the BPNN algorithm easily falling into the local optimum. The magnetic triaxial leakage signals of the internal and external pipeline defects collected via 60 sets of drafting experiments were used as examples, while a particle swarm optimized BPNN (PSO-BPNN), genetic algorithm optimized BPNN (GA-BPNN), and an unoptimized BPNN were used as models for comparative analysis. The results showed that optimizing the BPNN using AVOA substantially improved the prediction accuracy of the BPNN model. The AVOA-BPNN model predicted 12 sets of pipe defect depths with an average relative error (MRE) of only 2.67% and a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.99800, which exceeded the values of the BPNN, PSO-BPNN, and GA-BPNN models. The AVOA-BPNN uses the internal leakage detection signal to predict the depth of pipe defects, supporting effective decision-making regarding pipe inspection and maintenance.

Abstract:
Introducción: El bajo Peso al Nacer (BPN) corresponde a peso inferior de 2500 gr en nacidos vivos (NV). La OMS lo considera un problema de salud pública por ser predictor de morbimortalidad prenatal y aumentar riesgo de enfermedades no transmisibles. La meta es reducir a nivel mundial BPN en un 30% al 2025, y en Colombia no superar el 10% Objetivo: identificar los grupos poblacionales con mayor riesgo de presentar bajo peso al nacer a término (BPNT) para el 2019. Materiales y métodos: análisis descriptivo transversal, caracterizando casos notificados de BPNT al Sivigila de 2019, depurando y contrastando con la base de RUAF. Se realizó análisis univariado y bivariado. La proporción de los casos notificados se calculó con relación a la información de NV del DANE 2018. Se estimaron los indicadores definidos por el INS en el protocolo de BPNT. El almacenamiento y análisis se realizó con Excel y con OpenEpi versión 3,01 para estimar los odds ratio (OR) Resultados: Se notificaron 19 436 casos de BPNT con 2,99 casos /100 NV (IC95%: 2,7 - 3,0). La tendencia de este evento entre 2016 - 2019 presentó un aumento porcentual de 9,6 %. El 98 % de los NV recibieron atención institucional, 52 % con 37 semanas de gestación, 93 % por parto simple, una mediana de peso de 2 350 gr. y talla 47 cm. La mayor proporción corresponde al sexo mujer con 3,6 / 100 NV (IC 95%: 2,6 - 3,8) y madres con 50 a 54 años con un 4,8 /100 NV (IC 95%: 3,2 – 4,9), residentes en el área urbana con 3,2/100 NV (IC 95%: 3,1 – 3,2) y no aseguradas al Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud con 4,7 /100 NV (IC 95%: 2,1 – 4,8). Se encontraron diferencias significativas en los OR, con mayor riesgo en madres de 45 a 49 años con un OR 1,5 (IC 95%: 1,2 – 2,0. Hubo mayor proporción de casos notificados al Sivigila de BPNT en los departamentos de Cundinamarca, Atlántico y distrito de Bogotá y menor proporción en Caquetá, Barranquilla y Buenaventura. Conclusión: la proporción de BPNT se ha mantenido con relación al 2018, con tendencia al aumento desde el 2016. Los NV corresponden a sexo mujer y de madres “no aseguradas” al SGSSS, los estratos 1 y 2, un nivel educativo de secundaria, así mismo, los grupos de edad extremos mayores de 50 años y menores de 19 años. Se requiere robustecer las políticas públicas debido a las implicaciones a que conlleva a corto y mediano plazo en la mortalidad y el desarrollo psicomotriz de estos menores.
