Published: May 2024

Keberagaman komunitas adat di Indonesia tidak hanya menjadi sumber kekayaan bangsa tetapi juga menimbulkan berbagai macam konflik. Salah satu konflik adat yang banyak ditemui yaitu sengketa kepemilikan tanah adat/ulayat. Pemicu konflik ini timbul dari berbagai macam sumber seperti: 1) benturan norma hukum nasional dengan hukum adat, 2) kuantitas penatausahaan tanah ulayat yang sangat luas, 3) sengketa tanah antar masyarkat dan 4) masih adanya mafia-mafia tanah. Provinsi Bali sebagai komunitas adat di Indonesia tidak terlepas dari konflik tanah yang telah berlangsung puluhan tahun. Beberapa faktor yang diidentifikasi menjadi akar permasalahan munculnya sengketa tanah adat di Provinsi Bali antara lain: 1) faktor data, 2) masyarakat adat, 3) pemerintah, 4) regulasi, 5) instansi berwenang, dan 6) lingkungan. Beberapa rekomendasi kebijakan jangka pendek, menengah dan panjang dapat dilakukan untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Intervensi jangka pendek dapat dilakukan dengan meningkatkan sosialisasi dan pemahaman terkait prosedur pengakuan terhadap tanah ulayat di Bali melalui gerakan desa sadar hukum, penyelesaian sengketa terkait konflik tanah diutamakan melalui cara negosiasi dan mediasi, serta adanya Reward dan punishment yang tegas terhadap petugas berwenang dalam sertifikasi tanah. Intervensi jangka menengah dilakukan dengan memperbaiki dan penyempurnaan birokrasi serta sistem sertifikasi tanah untuk mempercepat proses pelayanan publik, serta secara jangka panjang perlu dilakukan penyelarasan pluralisme hukum pusat dan daerah dalam kegiatan pengelolaan dan penggunaan tanah secara berkelanjutan. Penyelesaian konflik tanah ulayat sangat memungkinkan dengan kerlibatan berbagai elemen sosial antara pemerintah, sektor bisnis, masyarakat atau stakeholder terkait.

Published: May 2024

Introdução: Patologias tubárias correspondem a cerca de 35% dos casos de infertilidade. Vários métodos são utilizados para sua investigação, sendo o padrão-ouro a videolaparoscopia (VLP) com cromotubagem. A histerosalpingografia (HSG) é o método mais utilizado, porém analisa indiretamente a cavidade endometrial sem oferecer informações sobre outras patologias. A histerossonossalpingografia (HSNSG) utiliza meios de contraste não ionizantes, analisa detalhadamente a cavidade endometrial e a permeabilidade das tubas uterinas, e outras patologias uterinas, ovarianas e anexiais através da Ultrassonografia Endovaginal (USEV), apresentando acurácia semelhante aos outros métodos. Objetivos: Avaliar a permeabilidade tubária pela HSNSG, utilizando como contraste solução salina com ar atmosférico e comparar com os da HSG. Métodos: Estudo observacional transversal com 28 pacientes com infertilidade: os resultados da HSNSG foram comparados com a HSG, utilizando-se o método de Kappa para cálculo da concordância. Realizado também questionário para avaliar o nível de dor e desconforto do exame. Resultados: A análise da tuba direita teve concordância de 75% com a HSG com p=0,05 Kappa=0,364 (concordância razoável), e de 84,7% para a tuba esquerda, com p=0,0003 e Kappa=0,674 (concordância forte). Houveram 18 (38,9%) casos de obstrução tubária à HSG com tubas normais à HSNSG. Em relação ao nível de desconforto, 64,2% relataram desconforto leve, 28,6% moderado e 7,2% intenso. Conclusão: A HSNSG tem boa correlação com a HSG, podendo ser o exame de primeira linha na avaliação do casal infértil para investigação da permeabilidade tubária.

Authors: De Melo Cavestro Julio , Pinheiro Franco Fabrícia , Ribeiro Garbocci Júlia Cássia
Published: May 2024

Introdução: Os fatores da personalidade têm se destacado como possíveis preditores de bem-estar subjetivo (BES), sendo nomeados: extroversão, amabilidade, conscienciosidade, neuroticismo e abertura à experiência, pelo modelo Big Five. Pesquisas têm indicado que o BES estaria associado principalmente a altos níveis de Extroversão e baixos níveis de Neuroticismo. Objetivo: Analisar a associação dos fatores de personalidade do Big Five no bem-estar dos acadêmicos. Método: Estudo observacional transversal que utilizou os questionários International Personality Pool e Escala de Satisfação com a Vida para aferição dos atributos da personalidade e do BES, respectivamente, em universitários. Resultados: Com um total de 189 participantes, observou-se uma correlação positiva fraca dos atributos conscienciosidade, extroversão e socialização com a satisfação com a vida, significando que, à medida que eles aumentam, a satisfação tende a aumentar também. O neuroticismo teve correlação negativa fraca com a satisfação com a vida, demonstrando que quando aumenta, a satisfação tende a diminuir. A abertura à experiência teve correlação nula. Este estudo é compatível com outros apresentados na literatura, que sugerem que a avaliação subjetiva do bem-estar tem certa correspondência ao traço de personalidade. Os resultados não devem ser generalizados para a população, sendo representativos apenas da amostra coletada. Conclusão: Os traços de personalidade desempenharam um papel significativo na percepção subjetiva de felicidade da amostra avaliada. Neste estudo, o neuroticismo e a conscienciosidade tiveram maior influência no bem-estar, enquanto alguns resultados na literatura evidenciam mais a extroversão.

Multiple Pseudocysts. A Potential Complication Following Progressive Tension Sutures.
Authors: Umar Daraz Khan
Published: May 2024

Pseudocyst formation after abdominoplasty is a rare complication. The pathogenesis of these cysts is due to theencapsulation of the potential dead space resulting after undermining of the abdominal flap. The potential incidence of these cysts is likely to be enhanced if liposuction is performed together wit abdominoplasty. Lymphaticdraining system is overwhelmed with the overload of lymph, blood, fat, extravasated fluid and wetting solutionused as infiltrate. Two raw surfaces created as a direct result of undermining result in shearing and rubbing, theprocess further exacerbates extravasation of fluid. To reduce friction between two raw surfaces of abdominoplasty flap and anterior abdominal musculature, progressive tension sutures are used. These sutures compartmentalized and stabilized the raw surfaces. Progressively enlarging multiple pseudo cysts arising from these compartments following the use of progressive tension is described as a case report.Key Words: Seroma, Progressive tension sutures, Abdominoplasty complications, Pseudo cyst, Quilting, Liposuction.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a global threat infecting one third of the world’s population. Around 9 millionnew cases occur, leading to about 2 million deaths annually. Because of non-compliance to the treatment drugresistant cases are increasing terrifically. Non adherence causes enormous economic and human costs. Treatment compliance is also associated with beliefs and attitude of people.Pakistan is among one of the highest TB burden countries with estimated incidence of 250/100,000 population.Objectives: To explore non-compliance with tuberculosis treatment amongst patients and determine the contributing factors and the phobia for drugs and disease; and also find out social stigma associated with the disease.Methodology:Study Design: Cross-sectionalPlace: Ojha Institute of Chest Diseases (OICD), KarachiDuration of study: June to December 2009Sample size: 210Sampling Technique: Non-randomized convenient techniqueResults: The male to female ratio was 68:32, and 60% of total study participants were of 40-50 years’ age group.All were from very low / low socio-economic class. Majority of the patients came for treatment at OICD after sixmonths to two years of developing symptoms of T.B. All of them had gone to local GPs, who continued the treatment without a relief, but did not ask for diagnostic workup or referral. According to study participants, the modeof spread of T.B included coughing and sneezing, food, water, touching, close body contact, sharing cloths, sharing razor, blood transfusion, used syringes and hereditary; and 19% of them had no idea of the spread route.The patients were frightened to take treatment because it caused severe side-effects, other diseases, dependency, physical and sexual weakness. The various number of the patients thought that T.B was not a curable disease, treatment was not needed for long duration; the disease caused social isolation, marriage difficult / not possible for patients and off-springs, and also divorces. The factors contributing to non-compliance of T.B treatmentincluded long duration, number of drugs, cost, waiting for hours to get medicine at government health facility,rude behaviour; and drugs not effective, better treatment / cure with homeopath / hakim / pir.Conclusion: Non-compliance to the T.B treatment is the major cause of wide spread of the disease. There is aneed of mass awareness and social support of T.B sufferers; and sympathetic attitude of Health Care Providers.Key Words: Tuberculosis, Non-compliance, Phobia, Social Stigma.

Is coffee effective on food intake in high fat diet-fed obese rats?
Authors: Macit Çelebi Melahat Sedanur , Köksal Eda
Published: May 2024

Objective: Coffee might be effective in the treatment of obesity with its high polyphenol and caffeine content. In this regard, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of different coffee types on body weight, food intake, and biochemical parameters in obese rats.
Methods: Wistar Albino adult male rats were randomly divided into four groups (one control and three coffee groups) after obesity development (after six weeks), and three types of coffee (Turkish coffee, instant coffee, filter coffee) administration were performed for two weeks.
Results: Food consumption was statistically significantly lower in the Turkish coffee (15,6±1,06 g/d) and filter coffee group (16,9±0,8 g/d) compared to the control group (18,5±0,6) in the eighth-week (p<0.001). At the end of two weeks, there is no difference between the groups regarding weight in the rats (p>0.05). However, the body weight gain (g) change was lower in the Turkish coffee group (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between groups in biochemical parameters. However, negative correlations were obtained between NE (ng/L), Leptin (ng/ml), Adiponectin (mg/L), UCP-1 (ng/L), UCP-2 (ng/L), UCP-3 (ng/L) and average energy intake (kcal) in Turkish coffee administrated rats.
Conclusion: According to the study results, coffee consumption, especially Turkish coffee, has a reducing effect on food intake. This effect is likely due to the higher phenolic content of the given Turkish coffee than the same amount of filter and instant coffee. Further studies are needed to explain the effects of coffee consumption on body weight and other casual relationships, especially in the long term.
Trichoscopy in Clinical Studies: The Challenges of Standardization - A Scoping Review
Authors: Dias Amanda Conoratto , Mossmann João Batista
Published: May 2024

Introduction: Standardization of trichoscopy images, regarding the compatibility of before and after images poses a challenge. The aim of this study was to investigate the methodologies used by researchers in clinical studies in the field of trichoscopy.
Methodology:  The keywords 'trichoscopy' and 'hair' were searched in the Scopus, Web of Science and Embase databases. Studies published from 2019 to December 2023 were included.
Results and Conclusion: Among the 4,088 studies found, 341 were duplicates, 3,742 did not meet the objectives of this review; thus, 5 studies were selected and 4 were subjected to appraisal of this scope. According to the review, the compatibility of trichoscopy images in clinical studies depends on the techniques developed by researchers, which are few in number, yet innovative. The TrichoLAB software appears to be a promising tool, yet it requires a high investment, which makes it difficult for researchers to access. The standardized grid by Starace et al. (2019, 2020 and 2021) and Alessandrini et al. (2021) needs to be further explored and explained so that other researchers can benefit from the use of this model. It is also suggested to apply tests based on the FMaps concept by Kasprzak et al (2019) to prove the efficacy of the grid. Given that the challenge of compatibility of before and after trichoscopy images is a real issue, it's suggested that other standardization models be developed. Likewise, it is possible that some studies were not included in this review; therefore, the continuation of this research is suggested.

Published: May 2024

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks, also known as VANETs, are an essential component in the development of intelligent transportation systems. They hold the promise of improving commuters' safety, efficiency, and convenience. The dynamic and decentralised character of VANETs, on the other hand, presents a number of issues, notably with regard to performance and security. a complete framework that is aimed to enhance the operation of VANETs and address the difficulties that have been identified. Intelligent routing algorithms, collaborationbased collision avoidance methods, and robust security protocols are the three primary components that make up the system. In the first place, intelligent routing algorithms make use of machine learning techniques in order to dynamically adapt to shifting traffic circumstances. This increases the efficiency of data transmission while simultaneously reducing delays. Whendetermining how to properly route data packets over the network, these algorithms take into consideration a variety of parameters, including the density of vehicles, traffic patterns, and congestion on the network.

“Osint” and “consolidated information” in the terminological field of information and analytical activity
Authors: Matvienko O. , Tsyvin M.
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the study is to reveal the content of the terms “OSINT” and “consolidated information” in the terminological field of information and analytical activity, to identify similarities and differences between them. Research methodology. General scientific research methods of analysis and synthesis were used; the method of comparative analysis to compare the essence of the terms OSINT and consolidated information; the method of content analysis in the study of texts and documents; the hypothetical method to substantiate the synonymity of the terms OSINT and consolidated information. The scientific novelty lies in the identification of analogies between the terms “OSINT” and “consolidated information”, which form a terminological series in the scientific discourse and practical field of information and analytical activities. Conclusions. The terminological field in the scientific discourse and in the field of practical information and analytical activities is characterised by the formation of a synonymous series, which includes the terms “OSINT” and “consolidated information”, which are actually designations of the concept of “information and analytical activities”. An analysis of the content of these terms shows that the difference is that the content of the concept of “consolidated information” does not indicate a specific field of activity, while OSINT retains the relevant connotations in the application of the term in other areas. OSINT in its meaning, regardless of the scope of use in intelligence activities, is a type of information and analytical activity which is gaining active development in the modern information and communication space to perform a wide range of tasks in social practice aimed at searching, collecting and analysing information from open (publicly available) sources which are not classified or restricted

The purpose of the article is to develop an information resource for the placement of qualification papers of students of the Department of Education and Research. The research methodology is based on the methods of analysis and synthesis, as well as on the use of informational, system-structural, and functional approaches. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the development of informational and functional models of the process of creating an online library of qualifying works of students of the SCIA department. Conclusions. A goal tree has been developed, the general purpose of which is to create an online library of qualifying works of students of the SCIA department. In order to achieve the set goal, a division was made into three first-level goals, which in turn are divided into smaller goals and sub-goals, each of which has an individual means of achieving the goal. An information model of the problem was built in Peter-Chen notation, which contains 6 entities related to each other with connections. The notation presents the “Supervisor” (as the student’s mentor), who manages the “Student” (the author of the qualification work). “Student” performs “QW” (study carried out by the student), which is reviewed by “Reviewer” (critic of qualification work). “QW” is contained in the “Online Library” (website of qualifying papers), which is visited by the “User” (interested person). A functional model of the given task is provided in the form of context diagrams and detailed processes. The first context diagram shows the process of “Filling the online library of the QW” and four external entities: “Secretary of the examination board”, “Manager”, “Reviewer” and “Student”. The second context diagram shows the process “Organisation of the work of the online library” and two external entities: “Administrator” and “User”. Three systems for managing site content are considered, namely: Drupal, Joomla and WordPress. After a detailed analysis of each CMS, WordPress was chosen as the ideal solution for the task, due to its simplicity, flexibility, and the ease of use and management

According to Danish legislation theological candidates need to be examined by a bishop prior to ordination. The bishop’s examination in the Evangelical-Lutheran Church in Denmark is part of the episcopal oversight. The article analyses the bishops’ theological reflections and practical experiences with episcopal examinations based on interviews. According to our Aristotelian analysis of interviews the bishops operate with a distinction between different forms of knowledge that reflects the Aristotelian epistêmê, technê and phronêsis. While candidates may not pass, instances are rare; typically, guidance or resubmission is offered if the bishop hesitates to give collats. In addition to our Aristotelian analysis, we consider a management theoretical perspective on the interviews, and this perspective shows that the bishops align closely with Lotte S. Lüscher’s definition of a postmodern paradigm of management. Further, we argue that Jürgen Habermas’ focus on a potential shift in a conversation might elucidate dynamics in the conversation between bishop and candidate. The power relationship is camouflaged in the form of conversation, and Habermas’ theory helps us to understand when the power relationship manifests itself.

Levothyroxine is a synthetic thyroid hormone, used to treat hypothyroidism and related conditions. It has been a widely used and effective medication for many decades. The bioanalytical method is developed for the determination of endogenously present levothyroxine and its metabolite, liothyronine, in both stripped and un-stripped serum, using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Determining an endogenously present analyte is indeed a critical step in pharmacokinetic studies and determining the therapeutic dose of a drug. The term “stripped” typically refers to the removal of endogenous analytes that interfere with the accurate quantification of the analyte of interest. Method employed with, Kinetex® polar C18 (100 × 4.6 mm 2.6 μm) analytical column for chromatographic resolution by using, pump A as acetic acid in water and pump B as acetic acid in methanol. The mass spectrometer used with triple quadrupole operating in the positive ion mode, specifically using multiple reaction monitoring. Multiple reaction monitorin is a highly delicate and discriminating technique for quantifying specific analytes. The transitions are as follows: analyte transition: 777.55→731.65, metabolite transition: 651.70→605.85, IS analyteTransition: 780.60→734.75, and IS metaboliteTransition: 661.60→614.65. A resolution factor of 0.5 was achieved for levothyroxine and liothyronine. Linearity for levothyroxine in a range of 20.0–1000 ng/ml and liothyronine in a range of 0.3–15.0 ng/ml was employed. Method validation was performed to conduct stability studies and demonstrate the reproducibility for accuracy and reliability for LC-ESI-MS/MS assay. The proposed bioanalytical method is highly sensitive and selective, has a minimal processing volume, faster run time, no matrix impact, and the ability to measure analytes in different types of serum (stripped and normal). The method was valuable for both research and clinical laboratories and can provide reliable results.

The fragile X syndrome (FXS) represents the most prevalent form of inherited intellectual disability and is the first monogenic cause of autism spectrum disorder. FXS results from the absence of the RNA-binding protein FMRP (fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein). Neuronal migration is an essential step of brain development allowing displacement of neurons from their germinal niches to their final integration site. The precise role of FMRP in neuronal migration remains largely unexplored. Using live imaging of postnatal rostral migratory stream (RMS) neurons in Fmr1-null mice, we observed that the absence of FMRP leads to delayed neuronal migration and altered trajectory, associated with defects of centrosomal movement. RNA-interference-induced knockdown of Fmr1 shows that these migratory defects are cell-autonomous. Notably, the primary Fmrp mRNA target implicated in these migratory defects is microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B). Knocking down MAP1B expression effectively rescued most of the observed migratory defects. Finally, we elucidate the molecular mechanisms at play by demonstrating that the absence of FMRP induces defects in the cage of microtubules surrounding the nucleus of migrating neurons, which is rescued by MAP1B knockdown. Our findings reveal a novel neurodevelopmental role for FMRP in collaboration with MAP1B, jointly orchestrating neuronal migration by influencing the microtubular cytoskeleton.

Erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis are stringently regulated by signaling pathways. However, the precise molecular mechanisms through which signaling pathways regulate key transcription factors controlling erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis remain partially understood. Herein, we identified heat shock cognate B (HSCB), which is well known for its iron–sulfur cluster delivery function, as an indispensable protein for friend of GATA 1 (FOG1) nuclear translocation during erythropoiesis of K562 human erythroleukemia cells and cord-blood-derived human CD34+CD90+hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), as well as during megakaryopoiesis of the CD34+CD90+HSCs. Mechanistically, HSCB could be phosphorylated by phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) to bind with and mediate the proteasomal degradation of transforming acidic coiled-coil containing protein 3 (TACC3), which otherwise detained FOG1 in the cytoplasm, thereby facilitating FOG1 nuclear translocation. Given that PI3K is activated during both erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis, and that FOG1 is a key transcription factor for these processes, our findings elucidate an important, previously unrecognized iron–sulfur cluster delivery independent function of HSCB in erythropoiesis and megakaryopoiesis.

Published: May 2024

Background

Aniseikonia is a binocular vision disorder that has been associated with asthenopic symptoms. However, asthenopia has been evaluated with subjective tests that make difficult to determine the level of aniseikonia. This study aims to objectively evaluate the impact of induced aniseikonia at different levels on visual fatigue by measuring the orbicularis oculi muscle activity in the dominant and non-dominant eyes while performing a reading task.

Methods

Twenty-four collegiate students (24.00 ± 3.86 years) participated in this study. Participants read a passage for 7 minutes under four degrees of aniseikonia (0%, 3%, 5% and 10%) at 50 cm. Orbicularis oculi muscle activity of the dominant and non-dominant eye was recorded by surface electromyography. In addition, visual discomfort was assessed after each task by completing a questionnaire.

Results

Orbicularis oculi muscle activity increased under induced aniseikonia (i.e., greater values for the 10% condition in comparison to 0%, and 3% conditions (p = 0.034 and p = 0.023, respectively)). No statistically significant differences were observed in orbicularis oculi muscle activity for the time on task and between the dominant and non-dominant eyes. Additionally, higher levels of subjective visual discomfort were observed for lower degrees of induced aniseikonia.

Conclusion

Induced aniseikonia increases visual fatigue at high aniseikonia degrees as measured by the orbicularis oculi muscle activity, and at low degrees as measured with subjective questionnaires. These findings may be of relevance to better understand the visual symptomatology of aniseikonia.
Occurrence patterns of sympatric forest wallabies: assessing the influence of structural habitat attributes on the coexistence of Thylogale thetis and T. stigmatica
Authors: Smith Lucy E.V. , Andrew Nigel R. , Vernes Karl
Published: May 2024

Background

We studied the occurrence of two sympatric wallabies, the red-necked pademelon (Thylogale thetis) and the red-legged pademelon (T. stigmatica) in northeastern New South Wales, Australia in relation to structural habitat attributes. At our study site, both species inhabit closed forest environments and have overlapping distributions, but T. thetis leaves the forest at night to graze adjacent grassy forest edges whereas T. stigmatica remains within the forest and browses forest vegetation. The objectives of the study were to investigate how structural attributes of two forest types, wet sclerophyll forest and rainforest, relate to the fine-scale occurrence of these two wallaby species within the forested environment.

Methods

We gathered occurrence data from 48 camera trap stations divided equally between rainforest and wet sclerophyll forest. At each camera point, we also measured a range of structural habitat attributes to determine habitat affiliations for the two Thylogale species. Principal component analyses were used to describe major trends in habitat, and generalised linear models were used to describe the efficacy of the variables in predicting habitat occurrence of each species.

Results

The number of occurrences of Thylogale thetis was significantly greater than occurrences of T. stigmatica, which was driven by significantly greater occurrences of T. thetis in wet sclerophyll forest. There was both spatial and temporal partitioning between the two species; there was a significant difference in the occurrences of the two species at individual cameras and T. stigmatica had a different activity schedule than T. thetis in wet sclerophyll forest, where the latter reached its greatest rate of occurrence. At a finer (camera station) scale, occurrences of T. thetis increased with proximity to roads and grassy edges and at sites that were less rocky and less steep. T. stigmatica occurrence increased in the presence of rainforest elements like vines, palms and ferns, more ground-level cover and tree-fall gaps and at sites with fewer emergent eucalypts.

Conclusion

Our findings have implications for managing these pademelons and their habitats. T. thetis is a common species that was encountered more often than T. stigmatica, and it responded positively to human disturbance like roadsides and grassy edges, presumably because these areas provided good grazing opportunities. By comparison, T. stigmatica is a threatened species, and it responded to natural disturbance like tree-fall gaps where lateral cover was greater, and where rainforest food plants may be more abundant. Our results suggest, therefore, that conservation of the threatened T. stigmatica requires the preservation of intact rainforest.

Companies from Industrial Pole of Manaus look for automation to reduce ergonomic risks, even if the degree of autonomy will depend on organizational technical projects, that is, we visualize two different strands to develop ergonomic actions with the objective of improving working conditions related to health and productivity. Many interests about ergonomics are due to legislation, to adapt the work conditions, it is necessary to measure the ergonomic risks through established criteria. The present study aims to verify the contribution of ergonomic risk assessment instruments in practice, even though the process is quite robust, using the NIOSH and Suzanne Rodgers Criteria we visualize several potential to mitigate the risks inside this manufacturing process. The research was conducted through a literature review, and case study, raising the operative mode of all the workstations, mainly considering the comments of the employees involved, since all the methods present had potential for application, but a standardization of the evaluation for data collection become the main factors in determining the risk factors related to musculoskeletal disorders. According to the knowledge acquired and accumulated during the data collection, observed the ergonomic thermometer of the manufacture, where the moderate risk was evident, even if it is a process with automation, but this study will guide to a more effective work in search of the reduction of the ergonomic risk within the organization by the multifunctional team, in the search for the ergonomically correct process.
