Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT Objectives: to identify the repercussions of financial toxicity on the lives of adult cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: an integrative review was conducted using the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase databases, as well as the Virtual Health Library portal, in March 2023. Results: out of 62 studies found, 13 were included for analysis. The primary repercussions of financial toxicity included difficulties in covering basic expenses such as food, housing, medication, transportation, and internet access; increased anxiety and concerns related to health and financial situations; reduction or absence of income; challenges in obtaining treatment or accessing healthcare services; rising expenses; and telemedicine as a less burdensome alternative. Conclusions: the pandemic has exacerbated financial toxicity; therefore, healthcare teams must recognize it as an adverse event of oncological treatment and understand its potential to affect various aspects of patients’ lives.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to investigate the factors influencing vaccine hesitancy against COVID-19 among Brazilians. Methods: this research employed an observational and analytical approach, utilizing a web-based survey. Data collection took place in 2020, and data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. Results: the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy was found to be 27.5% (1182 individuals). There is a negative correlation between belief in conspiracy theories and social influence. Among the various beliefs associated with vaccination intentions, only conspiracy beliefs exhibited significant predictive value. Thus, the findings suggest that personal beliefs significantly impact hesitancy towards vaccination, and also indicate that trust in governmental bodies is inversely related to hesitancy. Conclusions: vaccine hesitancy emerges as a multifaceted phenomenon influenced by a complex array of factors, including personal beliefs, trust in governmental bodies, and healthcare systems.

Abstract Objective: to analyze the reliability of the items that compose the instrument for classifying newborns according to the degree of dependence on nursing care in a neonatal intensive care unit. Method: methodological study that analyzed the agreement and reliability of the instrument in a neonatal intensive care unit. Six care nurses and a research nurse assessed 35 newborns and completed the instrument, which was made up of 15 areas of care. The weighted Kappa coefficient and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient were used for analysis. Results: the areas of: weight (92%), oxygenation (93%) and catheter control (95%) had almost perfect agreement and the area of reaction to stimuli (50%) had poor agreement. The areas of elimination and vital signs showed low reliability, due to the low variability of responses. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient was 0.94. Conclusion: there are variations in the evaluations of some areas of care due to the imprecise description of items to which scores are assigned, however the instrument is reliable for categorizing the type of care (minimal, intermediate and intensive). Its use can contribute to measuring the quality and safety of newborn care.

Abstract Objective: to analyze the availability (in terms of stock and composition) and accessibility (in terms of geographical distribution) of the nursing workforce in Brazil. Method: this is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection, identified by combining databases available on institutional websites and structured according to indicators from the World Health Organization’s “National Health Workforce Accounts”. The study considered nursing professionals at senior level (nurses) and middle level (nursing auxiliaries and technicians). Indicators of stock, composition, distribution (by age group and gender) and the ratio of nurses to doctors were included. Results: there was an increase in the number of personnel between 2005 and 2010, mainly in middle and technical level professionals. There are more personnel aged between 36 and 55, with a predominance of women in all categories, despite the increase in men. There was an uneven distribution of personnel across the country’s regions, with the Southeast having the largest number of professionals. The ratio of nurses to doctors is less than one in the South and Southeast. Conclusion: despite the large number of nurses, their distribution is uneven. The growth of nursing technicians has significantly outstripped that of nurses, indicating more intensive technical training policies than those found in higher education.

Resumen Objetivo: analizar los significados que les atribuyen los padres a la supervivencia prolongada y permanente del cáncer infantojuvenil. Método: estudio narrativo cualitativo, desarrollado con padres de adolescentes y adultos jóvenes que sobrevivieron al cáncer infantojuvenil. El reclutamiento y la recogida de datos se basó en enfoques virtuales y presenciales. Los datos fueron recolectados a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas y analizados según análisis temático reflexivo. Resultados: se incluyeron en el estudio un total de diez padres. Se construyeron dos síntesis narrativas temáticas: “Tiempos de guerra”; y “Tiempo de paz incierta”, con sus respectivos subtemas. El diagnóstico de cáncer marca el inicio de tiempos de guerra en la vida de los padres. Viven el tratamiento del cáncer como “altibajos” con amenazas potenciales para la vida de sus hijos. Después llega el “Tiempo de paz incierta” y se restablece el equilibrio de la unidad familiar. Pero el miedo a la recidiva torna incierta la paz familiar, y mantenerla implica un control constante y prestar atención a los signos y síntomas de una posible nueva batalla. Conclusión: los resultados destacan la experiencia de ser padre de un superviviente de cáncer infantil y pueden aplicarse para desarrollar modelos de atención centrados en la familia de los supervivientes.

ABSTRACT Lychees are perishable fruits, and the application of ozone is a promising technology to preserve their quality. This study aimed to determine the effects of ozone gas and ozonated mist on the physicochemical properties of lychees. Two assays were performed using ozone gas and ozonated mist. The experiments were performed using a split-plot scheme, in which the plots corresponded to the treatments (ozone concentration or exposure time) and the subplots to the storage time, following a completely randomized design with three replicates. In the first experiment, ozone gas concentrations were tested (10 and 20 mg L-1) at exposure times of 15, 30, and 45 min. Corresponding control treatments included fruits that were non-exposed to ozone gas. In the second experiment, an ozone concentration was set (20 mg L-1) for exposure times of 3, 5, and 7 min. Exposure to ozone-free mist for 3, 5, and 7 min and control treatment were performed. The quality parameters of lychee fruits were assessed immediately after treatment (day 0) and on days 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8. Ozone gas was more effective for postharvest preservation of lychee than ozonated mist. Ozone gas was also proven to be more efficient than ozonated mist in maintaining the color of lychee peels. The effects of ozone gas and ozonated mist on pulp characteristics (Dif*, h*, and C*) were similar. Ozonated mist is recommended for vegetable species with an outer waxy cuticle or a high tolerance to water.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT Climatic conditions influence fruit quality during the harvest period; this aspect is unknown in plums cultivated in tropical regions. This study aimed to determine the influence of cultivation climatic conditions on the quality of ‘Horvin’ plum fruit (from flowering to harvest) at different altitudes in the Nuevo Colón municipality (Colombia). Employing a systematic sampling approach with 20 trees per zone, one fruit was randomly selected from each tree at weekly intervals in both locations. Fruit variables, namely weight, soluble solids, titratable acidity, Hue angle, chroma, and fruit firmness, were evaluated from day 18 to 26 after the flower bud stage until harvest in low (2,195 m a.s.l.) and high zones (2,567 m a.s.l.). A direct relationship was verified between fruit weight and size at harvest and orchard location altitude. Factors such as solar radiation, precipitation, and temperature were identified as key in plum fruit quality characteristics. At a higher altitude, fruit weighed between 9 and 14 g, and the firmness of the epidermis consistently exhibited higher values in the high zone across all three harvests. Therefore, there was impact of climatic conditions, including precipitation, sunlight, and temperature, related to the cultivation location in the process of fruit development and maturation on certain fruit quality variables on the day of harvest.
Extreme Right Technopolitical Network and Democracy in Brazil
Authors: Egler Tamara Tania Cohen , Pereira Thiago Costa
Published: August 2024

Abstract What are the determinations that can guide our research to analyze the advance of the extreme right in the world? To this end, the proposed question considers the relationship between technology and politics, and aims to analyze the Global Technopolitical Network of the Far Right. The proposed challenge is to unveil the different articulations that define the formation of the technopolitical network. Its objective is to identify its agents, examine the division of tasks, analyze its articulations and the narratives that circulate within it, to demonstrate that its communication vectors produce a collective subjectivity of the extreme right. We highlight the participation of the influence industry which, through its algorithms, produces data analysis capable of recognizing target social groups which identify themselves by their way of thinking, doing, and being shared to whom fake news is directed, thus producing a “parallel reality” and “cognitive dissonance”. It transforms power relations in the world to benefit authoritarian and conservative values. The methodology’s starting point is interdisciplinarity, which combines knowledge of political science, communication, computing and geography. The data collection focuses on the action structure of the global far-right network and its representation in Brazil. The procedures are supported by a database that documents the information and application of computer programs to represent the networks. The analytical results identify the actors and agents, examine the division of labor in the technopolitical network to analyze their narratives, the processes and strategies of right-wing power, and demonstrate the expansion of political participation beyond political parties. No less important is revealing the connections between the global extreme right and the extreme right in Brazil and their consequences for democracy in the world.

Published: August 2024

RESUMO O uso massivo de Inteligência Artificial na moderação de conteúdo na internet é uma realidade dos tempos atuais. No entanto, isso levanta uma série de questionamentos, seja sobre a pertinência do uso de sistemas automáticos opacos, seja se as plataformas podem sozinhas tomar decisões que antes cabiam ao Estado. Nesse contexto, o uso de IA “caixa-preta” passa a ser considerado uma ameaça à liberdade de expressão. Por outro lado, manter conteúdos que promovam abuso virtual é igualmente danoso a este direito fundamental. Nesse cenário, este estudo sumariza os principais problemas apontados pela literatura quanto ao paradigma atual, avalia as respostas que as novas tecnologias trazem, e propõe um caminho para um novo paradigma de moderação que seja justo e ético, no qual Estado e plataformas de mídias sociais têm papel relevante. Esse passa pela adoção de IA explicável associada a critérios transparentes e legítimos definidos pela sociedade.
DFT STUDY ON STRUCTURAL, ELECTRONIC, MAGNETIC, AND THERMOELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF HALF-HEUSLER COMPOUNDS FeXSb (X = V, Cr, and Mn)
Authors: Ragoubady Ramya , Palanivel Balan
Published: August 2024

The electronic density of state (DOS), magnetic moments, and spin-polarized band structure of the half-Heusler compounds FeXSb (X = V, Cr, and Mn) was analyzed using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave method (FP-LAPW) grounded in density functional theory (DFT). The Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) scheme with generalized-gradient approximation (GGA) was used for the exchange and correlation potential. Calculations were conducted to explore the structural, electronic, magnetic, and thermoelectric characteristics of the ternary compounds FeXSb (X = V, Cr, and Mn). The findings indicate that each of the three half-Heusler compounds manifests these properties as well as exhibit ferromagnetic half-metallic behavior. The Murnaghan equation of states was used to plot energy volume graphs for the studied compounds. These curves were used to calculate the minimum equilibrium energy (Emin), bulk modulus (B), and lattice constant (α0), for the -half-Heusler compounds FeXSb (X = V, Cr, Mn). The thermoelectric parameters encompassing the Seebeck coefficient (S), thermal conductivity (κ/τ), electrical conductivity (σ/τ), and power factor (PF), were determined using the Boltzmann transport theory. The objective was to explore the physical properties of the -half-Heusler compounds, evaluate their practical uses across different applications, and analyze these compounds' electronic, structural, magnetic, and thermoelectric characteristics.
A history outline of senior football of Raków Częstochowa Workers Sports Club in the years 1998–2023
Authors: Kościański Krzysztof
Published: August 2024

The club was founded in 1921. At that time, on the initiative of Marian Federak, Klub Sportowy Racovia was established. With the incorporation of the settlement of Raków into Częstochowa (1928), it changed its name to Raków Częstochowa. Its history was continued both in the interwar period, World War II and after the war. In the years 1998–2023, Robotniczy Klub Sportowy Raków Częstochowa was the most successful team from the Częstochowa region. After relegation from the first league in the 1997/1998 season, due to the result of organizational mistakes, the club was in debt. This was largely influenced by the financial problems of Huta Częstochowa. It had been the main sponsor of Raków for several decades. At the beginning of the 20th century, during one of the reporting and election meetings, a proposal was made to liquidate the club. However, this solution was postponed until a new association was prepared, which would formally maintain the continuity of the sports team. In 2002,the Raków Klub Sportowy was established, continuing the tradition of RKS Raków. A few years later, another crisis occurred and the specter of collapse reoccurred (2009). A group of former Raków players gathered then, including Jerzy Brzęczek and Krzysztof Kołaczyk, who manager to stabilized the situation thanks to their actions. They acquired a new main sponsor, the company X-KOM. This enabled the association to be transformed into a joint-stock company (2011). From 2014, Michał Świerczewski became the owner of the club. Due to poor sports results, in 2016 he hired Marek Papszun as the first coach. In the following years, the Raków team achieved more and more sports successes, and in the 2022/2023 season they won the Ekstraklasa and won the title of Polish champion.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a physical restraints education program using the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skill (IMB) model and examine its effects on physical restraint-related knowledge, attitudes, nursing practices, and person-centered care of nursing care providers in long-term care hospitals. Methods: A nonequivalent control group repeated measures quasi-experimental design was used. The participants were 54 nursing care providers (intervention group=27, control group=27) in long-term care hospitals from B city. The IMB model-based education program was developed and implemented once a week for 3 weeks. The program involved brain writing, lectures, poster or slogan creation, writing diary to reduce the use of restraint, and shouting slogans. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires at pretest, immediately after the program completed (3 weeks after pretest), and 4 weeks after completing the program (7 weeks after pretest). Analysis was conducted using χ²-test, Fisher’s exact test, t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and repeated measures ANCOVA with the SPSS/WIN 28.0 program. Results: The participants consisted of nurses (40.7%), nursing assistants (40.7%), and care workers (18.5%). The education program had statistically significant effects on knowledge (F=46.38, p<.001), attitude (F=42.70, p<.001), nursing practice (F=31.29, p<.001), and person-centered care (F=27.74, p<.001) regarding physical restraints. The intervention’s effects remained for 4 weeks after the completion of the intervention. Conclusion: This education program effectively enhanced nursing care providers’ knowledge, attitude, nursing practice, and person-centered care concerning physical restraints. Future research is warranted to provide a regularly repeated program and evaluate the direct effects on the frequency of physical restraints for nursing care providers in long-term care hospitals.

Çalışma, geleneksel, sprint ve pliometrik ısınma protokollerin adolesan kadın voleybolcularda farklı varyasyonlardaki sıçrama performansı üzerindeki etkilerini belirlememek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya 14-16 yaş arası 17 kadın voleybolcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılar rastgele 3 gruba ayrılmıştır. Araştırma çapraz desenli tasarımda (cross-over) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tüm ısınma rutinleri 8’er dakika sürmüştür. Pliometrik ısınmada 5 hareket 2x5 tekrar şeklinde yapılmıştır. Sprint ısınmada ise 10m, 20m, 30 ve 50m sprint koşu olmak üzere farklı tekrarlarda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların ısınma protokolleri öncesinde ve sonrasında squat sıçrama (SJ) countermovement sıçrama (CMJ) ve vertikal sıçrama (VJ) ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Ölçüm verileri geçerliliği ve güvenirliliği kanıtlanmış mobil bir uygulama ile gerçekleştirilmiş ve kaydedilmiştir. Veriler, tekrarlı ölçümler çift yönlü anova (two-way repeated measures ANOVA, within subject factor, egzersiz 3 x zaman 2) ile analiz edilmiştir Isınma protokollerinin tümünde egzersiz öncesine göre üç sıçrama varyasyonunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı artışlar olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Fakat protokoller arası ikili karşılaştırmalarda (Bonferroni) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır (p>0,05). Sonuç olarak, ısınma protokolleri arasında benzer etkiler görülse de üç ısınma protokolünde sıçrama performansını artırmada etkili olduğu gözlenmiştir. Elde ettiğimiz bulgular doğrultusunda antrenör veya sporculara egzersiz öncesi ısınma rutinlerinin çeşitlendirilmesi amacıyla antrenmanların amacına göre tüm ısınma protokollerini farklı antrenman seanslarından önce uygulayabileceği söylenebilir.

Bu çalışmanın amacı; erkek futbolcularda FIFA11+ ve statik ısınma protokollerinin çeviklik, sürat ve esneklik üzerindeki akut etkilerini incelemektir. Çalışmaya gönüllü olarak katılım gösteren 24 profesyonel erkek futbolcu (ort yaş: 20,13±1,51 yıl; boy 175,5±4,25 cm; vücut ağırlığı: 69±5,81 kg; spor geçmişi: 8,13±1,90 yıl) çapraz kontrollü deney tasarımı (crossover) ile rastgele yöntemle A ve B olmak üzere iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Toplam iki seanstan oluşan (48 saat ara olmak üzere) veri toplama sürecinin ilk seansında A grubu’na FIFA11+ ısınma protokolü, B grubu’na ise statik ısınma (streching) protokolü uygulanmıştır. İkinci seansta gruplar yer değiştirerek aynı protokol takip edilmiştir. Birinci ve ikinci seans sonunda ısınma protokollerinden dört dakika sonra olmak üzere sırasıyla 20 metre sürat, Illinois çeviklik testi ve gonyometrik (quadriceps ve hamstring kasları) uygulanarak veri toplama süreci tamamlanmıştır. FIFA11+ ve statik ısınma protokollerinin atletik performans parametreleri üzerindeki etkilerinin karşılaştırılmasında bağımsız örneklem t testi kullanılmıştır. FIFA11+ protokolünün çeviklik ve sürat performansında; statik ısınmanın ise dominant bacak hamstring esnekliğinde daha etkili olduğu görülmüştür (p<0,05). Non-dominant bacak hamstring esnekliği ile dominant ve non-dominant bacak quadriceps esnekliği değerlerinde uygulanan protokoller arasında bir farklılık görülmemiştir (p>0,05). Sonuç olarak, futbolda sürat, çeviklik ve esneklik özelliklerinin birçok aksiyonda yoğun olarak kullanıldığı düşünüldüğünde, FIFA11+ ve statik ısınma protokollerinin amaca yönelik olarak uygulanmasının atletik performans ekseninde daha yararlı olabileceği söylenebilir.

Futbolcuların sezon başı hazırlık dönemi, genellikle fiziksel kondisyon düzeylerini arttırmak, dayanıklılıklarını geliştirmek ve performanslarını zirveye çıkarmak için yoğun antrenman programlarına tabi tutuldukları bir dönemdir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, profesyonel erkek futbolcularda sezon başı hazırlık süreci antrenmanlarının testosteron seviyeleri üzerine etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırmaya, TFF 2. Liginde profesyonel futbol oynayan, yaş ortalamaları 25,30±7,22 (yıl) olan toplam 16 futbolcu dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmada futbolculara müsabaka dönemi öncesinde 8 haftalık hazırlık antrenmanı uygulanmıştır. Antrenmanların öncesinde ve sonrasında hormonal parametrelerden testosteron değerleri analiz edilmiştir. Futbolcuların ön test ve son test testosteron düzeylerini karşılaştırmak için bağımlı örneklem t testi (Paired Samples t-Test) yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, sporcuların sezon öncesi hazırlık dönemi ön test testosteron seviyeleri ile son test testosteron seviyeleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir artış olduğu tespit edilmiştir (t=-2,497; p=0,025). Çalışmamızdan elde ettiğimiz sonuçlara göre uygulanan antrenman programının sporcuların testosteron seviyelerini artırdığı görülmüştür.

Published: August 2024

Flood disasters profoundly impact school children in Kerala, particularly in Ernakulam, disrupting their lives, education, and emotional well-being. Despite the critical need for support, there is limited understanding of how these children cope with the psychosocial challenges posed by floods. This study aims to explore these coping mechanisms to inform effective mental health support and resilience-building programs in schools. Using a qualitative design with a case study approach, eight school children were purposively sampled. Data collection revealed four primary themes: regulating anxiety, the role of a multidisciplinary approach, the development of resilient behaviour, and rebuilding physical health. Regulating anxiety involves emotional regulation strategies, psychosocial support, and continuous mental health assessment, with family, peers, and professionals playing critical roles in providing support. A multidisciplinary approach, including integrated parental support, child-cantered methodologies, and capacity-building initiatives, is essential for effective adaptation, with educators, healthcare providers, and community leaders fostering a supportive environment. Resilient behaviour is exhibited through adaptability, a rebuilding spirit, and altruistic tendencies despite challenges, highlighting the need for targeted interventions for children showing post-traumatic behaviours. Rebuilding physical health addresses psychosomatic issues, general health challenges, and malnutrition, emphasizing the necessity of integrating physical health concerns with psychosocial interventions. Overall, the findings stress the importance of comprehensive, child-focused interventions that combine emotional, social, and physical health support to enhance the well-being of flood-affected children in Ernakulam.
Hallyu Stars Mediated Fandom: Understanding Mediatisation of Non-K-Pop Consumption Among Malaysian Youth
Authors: Badrul Hisham Nurul Akqmie
Published: August 2024

Tapping into mediatisation as a critical lens to examine how cultural synergy, particularly Korean Wave’s influence, manifests and impacts of everyday cultural practice in Malaysia. Despite a delayed start compared to neighbours, the Korean Wave ignited by the drama “Winter Sonata” in 2002, maintains a remarkable popularity in Malaysia. This study delves deeper than the surface of the Korean Wave, or Hallyu, exploring the intricate interplay between Korean stars, social media, and the phenomenon’s power. This work aims to understand how these elements actively shape and maintain its influence. While there has been a proliferation of research on the Korean Wave, it focuses on K-Pop music and K-Drama. Thus, this research project is designated to highlight elements other than K-Pop and K-Drama in the Korean Wave phenomenon by focusing on non-K-Pop cultural products. By observing open social media accounts and content, as well as events related to South Korean products, this study will use qualitative methods, netnography and participant observation for data collection. The findings are discussed in four key themes: Exploring Platforms and Fan Communities and Their Impact on Everyday Practices; International Brands Using Korean Stars for Product Promotion in Malaysia; the Potential of Selected Qualitative Methods for Understanding Social Phenomena; and the Limitations of These Methods in Research. The study highlights the need to choose relevant theories and research methods to improve the quality and depth of findings, especially when exploring complex subjects such as fandom.

Published: August 2024

Abstract: Marketing forms have evolved over time, and as the world transitions into a new generation of audiences and consumption behaviors, marketing has gone from the traditional to the more essential digital form, with the use of social media technology such as Instagram and Facebook. The main objective of this study is to empirically examine how hedonic motives, emotional response, and involvement in fashion can impact impulsive buying in the fashion industry within Generation Z. In this context, data were collected from 100 respondents in the age range of 16 to 23 years in the greater areas of Jakarta and Surabaya through an online survey. The data were then tested and finally analyzed. The most influential determinants affecting impulse buying are involvement in fashion, followed by hedonic motives, and emotional response. Even though the scarcity factor fills the gap created by prior studies’ inconsistencies, it fails to moderate the link between emotional response and impulse buying. Keywords: Impulse buying, Hedonic behavior, Emotional response, Involvement in fashion, Scarcity
