Published: February 2025

Este relato visa apresentar a trajetória da criação e desenvolvimento do núcleo da Baixada Santista da Articulação Brasileira pela Economia de Francisco e Clara. Desde o chamado do Papa Francisco, em 2019, passando pelo 1º encontro realizado na PUC-SP, ao início da caminhada liderada pelos precursores Sergio Storch, Célio Nori, José Pascoal Vaz e Sérgio Sérvulo, à constituição do grupo de voluntários e aos desdobramentos dele durante e pós pandemia, o texto se estende até a configuração atual e as iniciativas em andamento que delineia projetos futuros. Se, por um lado, a caminhada foi e é permeada por insuficiência de apoio, estrutura e dificuldades, principalmente pela perda de algumas pessoas precursoras, o importante é reafirmar que ela também é fraterna, horizontal, absolutamente voluntarista e comprometida com os mais vulnerabilizados de nossa sociedade. É pela dedicação e persistência de alguns voluntários que a ABEFC BS se mantem e amplia sua atuação, inspirados e animados pelo ensinamento que Francisco e Clara nos legou: é preciso criar já um mundo de Paz e Bem!
Uma grande transformação para a economia da dignidade
Authors: Rocha João Carlos De Carvalho
Published: February 2025

A "Economia de Francisco e Clara" é iniciativa promovida pelo papa Francisco, que visa a fomentar uma economia mais inclusiva, sustentável e humana. O momento inaugural dessa proposta foi o convite dirigido a jovens economistas, empreendedores e empreendedoras em 2019. O presente trabalho visa a contextualizar essa iniciativa à luz das encíclicas Laudato Si' e Fratelli Tutti, documentos que atualizam a Doutrina Social da Igreja em face dos debates sociais contemporâneos, e que abordam, especialmente, questões relacionadas com a sustentabilidade ambiental, dignidade humana, inclusão e justiça social. Esses documentos reforçam a necessidade de uma economia que respeite a natureza e promova a inclusão e vida digna de todos os seres humanos. Para tanto é necessário atuar para reverter os efeitos perversos da emergência climática, da desigualdade social, da precarização do trabalho e da financeirização das relações interpessoais. Esses desafios reforçam a necessidade de repensar e reformular a economia global para promover a dignidade e o bem-estar de todos, e não apenas da humanidade, mas de todos os seres vivos e dos processos ecológicos fundamentais que tornam possível o florescimento da Criação.

Necropolitics, Racialization, and Global Capitalism
Authors: Gržinic Marina , Tatlic Šefik
Published: February 2025

This book articulates a contemporary, globalized world as one in which radical disparities in distribution of wealth are being reproduced as the basis for depoliticized social, institutional, and ideological discourses. At its center is a reorientation of global capitalism from the management of life towards making a surplus value from death. This change is presented as a reorientation of biopolitics (bio meaning life) to necropolitics (necro meaning death). Therefore in the book we work with processes of change, of a historicization of biopolitics and its turn into necropolitics that leads to a theoretical trajectory from M. Foucault to A. Mbembe and beyond.

This book interprets the sustained perception of existence of dichotomy between these provisional extremes as a trademark of apolitical and/or post-political logics on which contemporary institutional, political, and social discourses tend to be structured upon. More, contrary to the majority of approaches that insists on a profound dichotomy between democracy and totalitarianism, between poverty and free market, and between democracy and capitalism, this book does not interpret these relations as dichotomous, but as mutually fulfilling.

The book elaborates, in the context of articulation of these logics, contemporary, imperial racism (racialization) as an ideology of capitalism and states that the First World’s monopoly on definition of modernity has its basis in contemporary reorganization of colonialism.

In the book, the authors trace a forensic methodology of global capitalism with which life, art, culture, economy, and the political are becoming part of a detailed system of scrutiny presented and framed in relation to criminal or civil law. Criminalization of each and every segment of our life is working hand in hand with a depoliticization of social conflicts and pacification of the relation between those who rules and those who are ruled. The outcome is a differentiation of every single concept that must from now bear the adjectives of the necropolitical or forensic; therefore we can talk about forensic images, art, projects, and necropolitical life, democracy, citizenship. This will change radically the perspectives of an emancipative project of politics (if it is any possible to be named as such) for the future.
Navigating Choppy Waters
Authors: Goodman Matthew P. , Parker David A.
Published: February 2025

China faces increasing economic headwinds that call into question not only its near-term growth outlook but the longer-term sustainability of its economic success. At a time of leadership transition in Beijing, global markets and policymakers alike are casting an anxious eye on China’s economic decisionmakers and wondering whether they have the plans, skills, and fortitude to cope with these challenges. There is a rising premium on understanding how Chinese economic policy decisions are made, whether the emerging cadre of policymakers has the wherewithal to navigate the more turbulent waters ahead, and what the implications are for U.S. foreign and economic policy.
Historical Dictionary of Women in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Sheldon Kathleen
Published: February 2025

African women’s history is a vast topic that embraces a wide variety of societies in over 50 countries with different geographies, social customs, religions, and historical situations. Africa is a predominantly agricultural continent, and a major factor in African agriculture is the central role of women as farmers. It is estimated that between 65 and 80 percent of African women are engaged in cultivating food for their families, and in the past that percentage was likely even higher. Thus, one common thread across much of the continent is women’s daily work in their family plot.

This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Women in Sub-Saharan Africa contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on individual African women in history, politics, religion, and the arts; on important events, organizations, and publications; and on topics important to women in general (marriage, fertility, employment) and to African women in particular (market women, child marriage, queen mothers). This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Women in Africa.
It's Not "One More Thing"
Authors: Ticknor Anne Swenson , Howard Christy , Overstreet Mikkaka
Published: February 2025

Ticknor, Howard, and Overstreet offer educators insights into the how-tos of culturally responsive pedagogy. They build on their experiences and research of CRP to offer vignettes of literacy instruction that may be common in K-12 classrooms. These examples are offered as a way to situate how teachers may use research based and effective literacy practices while ignoring the identities and experiences of their students. They disrupt the vignettes using theories and concepts presented in the chapter to make visible how each practice could be reimagined to integrate more culturally responsive strategies. Example lessons and activities are provided in each chapter that offer readers glimpses into CRP thinking and decision making. Guiding prompts are also included for readers to use the chapter topic and example lessons to consider ways to be more culturally responsive teachers for their students and in their local communities.
Narrative Theology and the Hermeneutical Virtues
Authors: Goodson Jacob L.
Published: February 2025

Dr. Jacob L. Goodson will be doing a book signing for Narrative Theology and the Hermeneutical Virtues: Humility, Patience, Prudence at Eighth Day Books in Wichita, KS, on Saturday March 21, 2015, at 4:00pm.

In Narrative Theology and the Hermeneutical Virtues: Humility, Patience, Prudence, Jacob L. Goodson offers a philosophical analysis of the arguments and tendencies of Hans Frei’s and Stanley Hauerwas’ narrative theologies. Narrative theology names a way of doing theology and thinking theologically that is part of a greater movement called “the return to Scripture.” The return to Scripture movement makes a case for Scripture as the proper object of study within Christian theology, philosophy of religion, and religious ethics. While thinkers within this movement agree that Scripture is the proper object of study within philosophy and religious studies, there is major disagreement over what the word “narrative” describes in narrative theology.

The Yale theologian, Hans Frei, argues that because Scripture is the proper object of study within Christian theology and the philosophy of religion, Scripture must be the exclusive object of study. To think theologically means paying as close attention as possible to the details of the biblical narratives in their “literal sense.” Different from Frei’s contentions, the Christian ethicist at Duke University, Stanley Hauerwas claims: if Scripture is the proper object of study within Christian theology, then the category of narrative teaches us that we ought to give our scholarly attention to the interpretations and performances of Scripture. Hauerwas emphasizes the continuity between the biblical narratives and the traditions of the church. This disagreement is best described as a hermeneutical one: Frei thinks that the primary place where interpretation happens is in the text; Hauerwas thinks that the primary place where interpretation occurs is in the community of interpreters.

In order to move beyond the dichotomy found between Frei’s and Hauerwas’ work, but to remain within the return to Scripture movement, Goodson constructs three hermeneutical virtues: humility, patience, and prudence. These virtues help professors and scholars within Christian theology, philosophy of religion, and religious ethics maintain objectivity in their fields of study.
Our Lady of Emmitsburg, Visionary Culture, and Catholic Identity
Authors: Krebs Jill
Published: February 2025

This ethnography explores the community of believers in a series of Marian apparitions in rural Emmitsburg, Maryland, asking what it means to call oneself a Catholic and child of Our Lady in this context, what it means to believe in an apparition, and what it means to communicate with divine presence on earth. Believers fashion themselves as devotees of Our Lady in several ways. Through autobiography, they look backward in time to see their lives as leading up to their participation in the prayer group or in some cases moving to Emmitsburg. By observing and telling miracle stories, they adopt an enchanted worldview in which the miraculous becomes everyday. Through relationships with Our Lady, their lives are enriched and even transformed. When they negotiate institutional loyalty and individual autonomy, they affirm their own authority and Catholic identity. Finally, through social media, they expand their devotional networks in ways that shift authority structures and empower individuals. Individuals engage beliefs, practices, and attitudes both arising from and resisting elements of modernity, religious pluralism and religious decline, empowerment and perceived disempowerment, tradition and innovation, and institutional loyalty and perceived disloyalty to reveal one way of understanding Catholic identity amidst the shifts and flows of modern change.
Against Apocalypse
Authors: Dallmayr Fred
Published: February 2025

The book denounces the irresponsible recklessness of some geopolitical agendas which are pushing the world relentlessly toward a major global war, and possibly toward nuclear destruction or apocalypse. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists has recently placed the "Doomsday Clock" at three minutes to midnight. Signs pointing toward a possible grand disaster are multiple: everywhere one looks in our world today one finds ethnic and religious conflicts, bloody mayhem, incipient genocide, proxy wars and "hybrid" wars", renewal of the Cold War. Add to these ills global economic crises, massive streams of refugees, and the threats posed by global warming - and the picture of a world in complete disorder is complete. Thus, it is high time for humankind to wake up. Starting from the portrayal of global "anomie", the book issues a call to people everywhere to oppose the rush to destruction and to return to political sanity and the quest for peace. This is a call to global public responsibility. In ethical terms, it says that people everywhere have an obligation to prevent apocalypse and to "maintain" our world or "hold the world together" in all its dimensions - including the dimensions of human and social life, natural ecology, and human spiritual aspirations (or openness to the divine). Differently out: in lieu of the prevailing disorder and brokenness, the book urges us to search for a new "wholeness" and just peace.

The book is intercultural and also inter-disciplinary. Since the aim is holistic - to hold the world together - the book necessarily has to draw on many disciplines: including philosophy, theology, social science, history, and literature. In terms of Western philosophical and intellectual legacies, it draws mainly on the teachings of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Derrida. It also offers a completely new interpretation of the work of Thomas Hobbes, unearthing in this work an ethical demand to exit from the state of perpetual warfare in the direction of a shared commonwealth. The text also relies on the teachings of Christian theology (both Catholic and Protestant), invoking at crucial junctures the works of Karl Barth, Raimon Panikkar, and others. In terms of non-Western intellectual and spiritual legacies, the book offers new interpretations of leading texts in the Indian and Chinese traditions. Thus, emphasis is placed on the ideas of "world maintenance" (loka-samgraha) in Hinduism and of "All-Under-Heaven" in classical Chinese thought. Although a central thrust of the text is for a new wholeness, the goal is not a uniform synthesis where everything would be swallowed up in a bland unity. Rather the issue is how to preserve diversity of the world in its rightful integrity, by linking all elements in a complex web of interconnections and "relationality".
Puerto Rican Labor History 1898-1934
Authors: Sanabria Carlos
Published: February 2025

Puerto Rican Labor History 1898–1934 presents a history of the organized labor movement in Puerto Rico from the United States’ colonial domination of the island in 1898 to the Great Depression in the early 1930s. Although the most prominent Puerto Rican labor leaders in the early twentieth century were strongly influenced by revolutionary European socialist and anarchist ideology, the organized labor movement as represented by the Federación Libre de los Trabajadores de Puerto Rico and the Partido Socialista became a fundamentally reformist trade unionist campaign that relied heavily on the democratic rights guaranteed by the United States government and the support of the American Federation of Labor. Rather than advocating for the overthrow of capitalism, the abolition of private property and the wage labor system, and its replacement by a socialist egalitarian cooperative society free of centralized government authority, the organized workers’ movement focused on the immediate struggle for higher wages and better working conditions by means of the organization of labor and participation in electoral politics.
Hidden Interests in Credit and Finance
Authors: Greenberg James B. , Park Thomas K.
Published: February 2025

In this book, James B. Greenberg and Thomas K. Park take an anthropological approach to the economic history of the past one thousand years and define credit as a potentially transformative force involving inequalities. Traveling through the Mediterranean and Europe, from the medieval period to the modern day, Greenberg and Park reorient financial history and position social capital and ethical thought at its center. They examine the multicultural origins of credit and finance, from banking to credit cards and predatory lending to the collapse of global credit markets in 2007–2008. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, history, economics, religion, and sociology.
Surgical Methods to Improve Urinary Continence after Radical Robot-Assisted Prostatectomy: An Analysis of the Evidence Base of Meta-Analyses
Authors: Papoyan Anushavan , Urmantsev Marat , Mironov Peter , Lutfarakhmanov Ildar
Published: February 2025

Currently, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (PARP) allows for achieving excellent oncological results with a low complication rate and is the “gold standard” for extirpative treatment of prostate cancer. Post-prostatectomy incontinence is the most devastating complication, significantly affecting the physical activity, and social and psychological well-being of men, and therefore has a significant impact on quality of life regardless of cancer outcomes and sexual function, which may have a potential impact on the choice of PARP as a treatment option. In a number of randomized and non-randomized clinical trials, the new techniques were compared with standard PARP, and their results were summarized in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The aim of this overview was to compare the functional outcomes of various modifications of RARP in order to obtain reliable results and create a basis for clinical guidelines. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were searched using the PubMed system in the electronic databases Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Google Scholar until January 2024. Thus, this overview of meta-analyses fills an important gap in knowledge about the efficacy of new PARP techniques to guide clinical practice and future research and provide a basis for clinical guidelines.

Regulation of Cell Death: Therapeutic Strategies for Cancer Treatment
Authors: El-kott Attalla F. , Elsaid Fahmy G. , Ghamry Heba I.
Published: February 2025

This chapter explores how to regulate programmed cell death and its relevance in cancer therapy. It points to the need of investigate mechanisms of cell death, like apoptosis, necroptosis, and, more recently, exposed ferroptosis, while creating approaches for the treatment of malignant diseases. In spite of progress in the field of targeted therapies, cancer is still a main cause of death due to the incapability of the cancer cells to undergo apoptosis. The chapter highlights the significance of adopting complex approaches that encompass multiple types of cell death occurring within both the cells and the tumor microenvironment. Of note are the functions of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in the regulation of cellular death processes, the specific role of apoptosis in the tumor formation process, and the possibility of treatment to increase cell death in neoplastic cells. There is metastasis of genes that are critical for apoptosis such as the TP53 tumor suppressor gene, along with the presence of an over expression of anti-apoptotic proteins. Examples of this would include Bcl-2 and IAPs, which protect multiple types of cancer cells against stimuli required for cell death. The role of immunotherapy and combination therapies is described as emerging strategies to enhance the efficacy of treatments. The document also deals with the problem of resistance to the induction of cell death and the necessity for further clinical studies of new therapeutic agents in practice. In summary, it highlights the diversity in cancer biology and the need for a paradigm shift to achieve tumor cell death.
Diet as a Risk Factor for the Development of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Narrative Review
Authors: Almeida das Chagas Lucas , Maria Lopes de Sousa Rosângela , Mattar Rosiane , Elito Júnior Julio , Araujo Júnior Edward
Published: February 2025

Based on the understanding of the complexity of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and the various factors associated with the disease’s onset, including the type of diet consumed, this chapter aims to assess the relationship between the role of diet and the risk of women developing GDM. GDM is defined as any degree of carbohydrate intolerance of varying severity, diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy, which does not meet the diagnostic criteria for pre-existing diabetes, and which may or may not persist after delivery. The etiology of this condition is not fully understood, but the diagnosis of GDM is fundamental to the prevention of complications for both mother and child. Currently, the gold standard for diagnosing GDM is the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), which should be performed between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. Because of the high prevalence of GDM and its associated complications, it is imperative that pregnant women modify their eating habits and engage in regular physical activity to prevent the adverse effects of hyperglycemia. Lifestyle changes combined with dietary interventions such as the inclusion of fruits, vegetables, and complex carbohydrates rich in fiber should be followed to improve glycemic control and prevent the adverse effects of hyperglycemia during pregnancy.

Examination of the Portrayal of Existentialism Theory in Swahili Sayings
Abstract
This article explores the representation of existentialist theory within Swahili sayings. Existentialist theory interrogates the concepts of death and the meaning of life. Distinct beliefs, ideologies, orientations, and philosophies unite each society. Societies interpret life, living, and death through their unique languages and literatures. We ponder whether Swahili sayings employed in daily life inherently reflect existentialist theory. Thus, this article investigates the representation of existentialism in Swahili sayings to understand how existentialism is conveyed. This paper seeks to identify the portrayal of existentialist theory in Swahili sayings and their meanings. The data for this study were gathered through critical reading and questionnaire methods. The paper employs the principles of existentialist theory to examine, analyse, and discuss the depiction of existentialism in Swahili sayings. It posits that existentialist theory is intricately linked to the daily lives of Swahili society and is reflected in the sayings used in everyday contexts. As a result, individuals may believe in existentialism without consciously recognising it or labeling themselves as existentialists, as reflected through the sayings they utilize to depict their daily lives and environments.
Assessing the Impact of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism on EU-China Steel Trade and Emissions: A GAMS-Based Analysis
Authors: Nilsson Pablo , Biko Teema
Published: February 2025

This study examines the impact of the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on trade flows and emissions in the steel sector, focusing on China’s response strategies. Using a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model implemented in GAMS, we simulate five policy scenarios: baseline (no CBAM), full CBAM compliance, trade diversification, EU-China Emissions Trading System (ETS) alignment, and CBAM with subsidies. Results indicate that CBAM reduces China’s steel exports to the EU by 32% under full compliance but leads to carbon leakage if trade shifts to regions with weaker regulations. ETS alignment minimizes trade disruptions while achieving the most significant emissions reductions. Findings suggest that EU-China cooperation in carbon pricing mechanisms could optimize both economic and environmental outcomes.

WELFARE CONCEPT OF LABOR IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF MAQASHID SHARIA
Authors: Imam Kamaluddin  , Hesti Maharani Dwi Rahayu  , Radhiyatun Nisak
Published: February 2025

The condition of employment worldwide has always presented complex and unresolved issues. High unemployment rates, labor welfare problems, employment contracts, and terminations are among the prevalent challenges. Nearly every sector acknowledges that laborers face unjust conditions, exacerbated by the Omnibus Law on Job Creation, which is seen as overly favorable to employers and detrimental to workers' welfare. Consequently, many workers, academics, and practitioners have opposed the enactment of this law. In line with Islamic principles, workers' rights should be justly compensated to enable them to achieve worldly prosperity without undue suffering. In Islam, welfare serves as both a goal and a principle toward achieving Sharia (Maqashid Sharia). The aim is to attain benefits for individuals and communities, ensuring a complete life in this world and the hereafter.  This research employs a qualitative method with a literature review approach, examining works concerning labor welfare and Maqashid Sharia. The findings indicate that Islam regards all as equals, distinguished only by their level of piety toward Allah SWT. According to Jamaluddin Athiyyah's perspective on Maqashid Sharia, the welfare of laborers is highlighted within several points, including the protection of honor (Hifdz al-‘Irdli), social justice (Iqamat al-‘Adl), mutual recognition, support, and complementarity efforts, as well as the state's obligation to protect human rights. Therefore, respecting human dignity should be paramount in work activities. By ensuring labor rights are equal to those of employers, justice can be achieved without oppression.

Sistemas productivos locales y bienes públicos específicos
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Firenze, Bellandi Marco
Published: February 2025

Entre las diversas interpretaciones del concepto de «cluster», elegimos una que se solapa con el concepto de «sistema productivo local» que podemos encontrar en la literatura sobre los distritos industriales. En ésta, el carácter distintivo proviene de la existencia y reproducción de un nexo cooperativo que agrupa productores competitivos especializados. Este nexo favorece a los productores y sus estrategias productivas, tanto directamente, ampliando la posibilidad de formar equipos de colaboración y redes, como indirectamente, permitiendo la creación y adaptación de un nutrido grupo de bienes públicos específicos. En los distritos industriales, el nexo cooperativo se combina típicamente con la acumulación de experiencias y experimentos locales, siendo el propio distrito una localidad conformada económica y socialmente por la presencia del mismo sistema productivo local. Los clusters, como sistemas de producción locales, muestran una rica tipología y pueden encontrarse fuera de las condiciones clásicas de un distrito. Este artículo introduce explícitamente la posibilidad de relaciones relevantes entre tipos de clusters y tipos de bienes públicos específicos. Ilustramos esta relación con unos ejemplos y la aplicamos para esclarecer las diferencias entre los métodos y los objetivos de las políticas de desarrollo local.

Bacterial Antagonists against Plant Pathogens: Mode of Actions
Authors: Noorani Safia , Sardar Arina , Naz Farah
Published: February 2025

Plant pathogens pose a significant threat to global crop production, responsible for 20-40% of crop losses worldwide due to pre- and post-harvest diseases. Chemical control methods have long been used in agriculture to combat these losses. However, growing concerns over the environmental and health impacts of chemical pesticides have driven interest in biological control as a sustainable and effective alternative. Biological control, particularly through bacterial antagonists (BAs) offers a promising solution for integrated plant disease management and has the potential to enhance crop yields in an environmentally friendly manner. Bacterial antagonists inhibit the growth of plant pathogens through various mechanisms such as direct competition (for nutrients and space, antibiosis, production of antimicrobial compounds) and indirect competition (induction of plant defense responses and plant growth). Many of these beneficial bacteria are naturally occurring members of the microbial community, found ubiquitously in the environment. This review discusses the primary modes of action of bacterial antagonists, detailing the mechanisms and molecules involved in their biocontrol activity.

Asthenoteratozoospermia, a prevalent cause of male infertility, lacks a well-defined etiology. DNAH12 is a special dynein featured by the absence of a microtubule-binding domain, however, its functions in spermatogenesis remain largely unknown. Through comprehensive genetic analyses involving whole-exome sequencing and subsequent Sanger sequencing on infertile patients and fertile controls from six distinct families, we unveiled six biallelic mutations in
DNAH12
that co-segregate recessively with male infertility in the studied families. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed pronounced axonemal abnormalities, including inner dynein arms (IDAs) impairment and central pair (CP) loss in sperm flagella of the patients. Mouse models (
Dnah12
−/−
and

Dnah12
mut/mut

) were generated and recapitulated the reproductive defects in the patients. Noteworthy, DNAH12 deficiency did not show effects on cilium organization and function. Mechanistically, DNAH12 was confirmed to interact with two other IDA components DNALI1 and DNAH1, while disruption of DNAH12 leads to failed recruitment of DNALI1 and DNAH1 to IDAs and compromised sperm development. Furthermore, DNAH12 also interacts with radial spoke head proteins RSPH1, RSPH9, and DNAJB13 to regulate CP stability. Moreover, the infertility of
Dnah12
−/−
mice could be overcome by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment. Collectively, DNAH12 plays a crucial role in the proper organization of axoneme in sperm flagella, but not cilia, by recruiting DNAH1 and DNALI1 in both humans and mice. These findings expand our comprehension of dynein component assembly in flagella and cilia and provide a valuable marker for genetic counseling and diagnosis of asthenoteratozoospermia in clinical practice.

There is a growing agreement that electronic health record (EHR) can play a key role in improving healthcare quality and efficiency.  Despite the benefits associated with the use of EHR, the adoption of EHR is low in the United States. The main aim of this study is to identify the critical factors affecting the hospitals’ adoption of EHR. This study identifies seven critical factors that are key to the adoption of EHR by using the technology, organization, and environment (TOE) framework. Moreover, we propose a research framework that provides future research opportunities that can offer further insights into the study of adoption of EHR.

Published: February 2025

Aims: This study aims to investigate the pharmacological management of Bipolar Affective Disorder (BAD) with a focus on lithium carbonate therapy, addressing the risks of toxicity, the role of polypharmacy, and the importance of patient adherence to treatment. The work also emphasizes the need for proper monitoring and education for patients undergoing lithium therapy in Psychosocial Care Centres (CAPS).
Methodology: A combination of clinical observations and laboratory tests, including the Osmotic Fragility Test, were conducted in CAPS facilities in Palmas (TO) and Mutuípe (BA) to assess the medications commonly used in the treatment of BAD. A review of literature and analysis of medication prescriptions were also incorporated to explore polypharmacy and medication interactions. Serum lithium levels and renal function were monitored to identify potential risks of toxicity.
Results: The study revealed that polypharmacy is prevalent in the treatment of BAD, with patients frequently prescribed lithium alongside other medications such as antipsychotics and antidepressants. Lithium toxicity was identified as a significant concern, with laboratory tests showing evidence of erythrocyte damage. Despite the efficacy of lithium in stabilizing mood and preventing relapses, the narrow therapeutic window necessitates careful monitoring. The study also highlighted the importance of multidisciplinary care and therapeutic workshops in improving patient adherence.
Conclusion: Lithium carbonate remains a cornerstone of BAD treatment, but its use requires vigilant monitoring to prevent toxicity and ensure therapeutic efficacy. Healthcare professionals must educate patients about the risks associated with lithium, emphasize adherence to prescribed regimens, and monitor closely for adverse reactions. Integrated care approaches, including psychotherapeutic interventions and family support, are essential for enhancing patients’ quality of life and supporting long-term psychiatric recovery. Further research is needed to optimize lithium therapy protocols and minimize risks associated with polypharmacy.

Membrane protrusions are fundamental to cellular functions like migration, adhesion, and communication and depend upon dynamic reorganization of the cytoskeleton. GAP‐dependent GTP hydrolysis of Arf proteins regulates actin‐dependent membrane remodeling. Here, we show that dAsap regulates membrane protrusions in S2R+ cells by a mechanism that critically relies on its ArfGAP domain and relocalization of actin regulators, SCAR, and Ena. While our data reinforce the preference of dAsap for Arf1 GTP hydrolysis in vitro, we demonstrate that induction of membrane protrusions in S2R+ cells depends on Arf6 inactivation. This study furthers our understanding of how dAsap‐dependent GTP hydrolysis maintains a balance between active and inactive states of Arf6 to regulate cell shape.
