Authors: Almeida Ana Paula da Silva , Amaral Melissa Ribeiro do , Willerding Inara Antunes Vieira , Lapolli Édis Mafra
Published: October 2024

A gestão da diversidade tem se tornado cada vez mais relevante nas últimas décadas, sendo considerada fundamental para o sucesso das organizações contemporâneas. Este artigo realiza uma análise bibliométrica para traçar o histórico da produção científica sobre diversidade e inclusão, diversidade organizacional e práticas de diversidade. A análise abrange aspectos temporais, geográficos, de autoria, principais periódicos e construtos mais utilizados. Os resultados mostram que as práticas de diversidade emergiram como um campo de estudo há cerca de 30 anos, com um aumento significativo nas publicações nos últimos 5 anos. Geograficamente, os Estados Unidos lideram em volume de pesquisas, superando amplamente a produção global. Inicialmente focados em questões de gênero, os estudos têm incorporado outras dimensões da diversidade, mas com espaço para expansão. Além disso, a lacuna identificada em pesquisas sobre diversidade organizacional no Brasil aponta para uma oportunidade de desenvolvimento de estudos futuros na área.

Published: October 2024

Airborne fungi are a health problem. This study investigated the diversity of airborne fungi in the surgical center and intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital in Caruaru, Pernambuco, Brazil, and evaluated their antifungal susceptibility profile and allergenicity. Critical and semicritical areas were sampled by passive sedimentation, and fungal strains were identified by morphological and molecular techniques. Thermophilic species were selected for in vitro susceptibility profiling against amphotericin B, isavuconazole, itraconazole, and voriconazole and for in vitro allergen detection. Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium were predominant. Aspergillus, P. lilacinum, and R. pusillus responded to itaconazole, isavuconazole, and amphotericin B, respectively. Aspergillus neoafricanus does not respond to drugs. Aspergillus costaricensis, A. terreus and P. lilacinum have high allergenic potential. This was the first documented occurrence of P. costaricense in South America, its first report as anemophilous and its second worldwide record. This study contributes to the knowledge of the geographic distribution of airborne fungi in hospital environments, raises awareness of the importance of environmental hygiene in health, warns of the emergence of species with pathogenic or allergenic profiles present in these environments and highlights the positive aspects of conducting research of this type. However, it is understood that there is a need for continued education related to topics that directly impact the health of the population so that effective changes can be implemented and observed in the community as a whole, since One Health is in collective thinking and inherent to environmental, human and animal health, with a view to promoting the well-being and harmony of all.
NAVALHA NO BOLSO: MALANDRAGEM E NARRATIVAS SOCIAIS
Authors: Tavares Alessandra
Published: October 2024

Assim com a maioria dos conceitos que circula pelos cotidianos a malandragem possui historicidade. São construções históricas que estiveram ligadas ao controle dos corpos ditos “perigosos”. Contribuíndo para a criação de imagens de controle (Collins) que persistem ainda hoje na forma de estigmas sociais, sobretudo para homens negros. Esse artigo reflete sobre como os conceitos de malandro/malandragem são alçados de maneira elástica em diferentes contextos, mas que ainda assim pode carregar formas de controle da imagem para alguns grupos sociais. O artigo levara em consideração, contudo, as estratégias de alguns grupos sociais na apropriação e/ou ressignificação dos conceitos na forma de narrativas próprias de si, ou seja, “autodefinições” (Collins), que podem ser identificadas por exemplo, por meio de letras de samba. Nesse diapasão é que a análise do celebre samba “Lenço no Pescoço” de Wilson Batista, pode ser um exemplo que ajuda a fundamentar e complexizar o caráter volátil da malandragem.
Emocje podstawowe a kompetencje osobiste we wczesnej adolescencji. Studium empiryczne na przykładzie uczniów klas V-VIII
Authors: Ryś Ewa , Mausch Karol , Baranowska Aneta Sylwia
Published: October 2024

The concept of personal competence is identified with one’s own effectiveness and is associated with the motivational aspect of human behavior. The theoretical foundations for this construct are found in Albert Bandura’s cognitive-social theory of learning and the author’s concept of personality. The subject of the study was the relationship between basic emotions - joy, love, fear, anger, guilt, sadness and competence personal, while the object of students of grades V – VIII of primary schools. Personal competences (self-efficacy) were measured using the Siegfryd Juczyński Personal Competence Scale, emotions were assessed using the Scale for measuring mood and six emotions – B. Wojciszke, W. Baryła. The results of own research confirmed the vast majority of formulated hypotheses, which allows us to generalize that there is a significant positive statistical relationship between joy and self-competence and a significant negative relationship between fear, anger, guilt and sadness and a sense of agency.
Ocena i współzawodnictwo w edukacji wczesnoszkolnej – konsekwencje społeczne
Authors: Zajdel Krzysztof
Published: October 2024

This article is about competition and judging in the youngest grades. I was interested in how these two elements translate into the functioning of a student in a class team who is not very good at dealing with grades and teacher’s messages. A student with bad grades may or may not be liked by the class, invited to play, to visit. In order to obtain a reasonably correct result of the research, I used the sociometric technique in the study, which in the case of students aged 7-10 is a fairly objective tool that allows us to verify our judgments. I am aware that a scientific article limits many challenges facing the researcher, hence some shortcuts in the theoretical layer and a not very large research sample. What does this research mean for the readers of this article? The main idea is to pay more attention to the education of potential teachers in this area (competition and assessment), but also to train in this respect in institutions.

Rola schematu w rozwoju dziecka na przykładzie sztuki i literatury
Authors: Gałka Olga
Published: October 2024

A child experiences many situations that may be beyond his comprehension. To remedy this, a behavioral template is created that facilitates the perception of reality and shortens itsreaction time. From an early age, a child can share his observations through drawings, which is a natural means of expression for children. At first they are very generic, template based.Parallel to the child’s gaining new experiences, its templates also evolve, allowing for the expression of increasingly sophisticated thoughts and observations. Templates play a similar role in literature, especially in fairy tales, as this form is the closest to children. Wonderfulness attracts the child’s attention, the ease of following the development of the plot keeps this attention,and universal truths regarding human experience, carrying guidelines for behavior or ethical principles allow the child to find himself in the world.
Insurance secrecy
Authors: Kurowska-Tober Ewa , Mrozowska-Bartkiewicz Beata , Łuczka Wojciech
Published: October 2024

This article discusses the issues related to insurance secrecy, which is an important matter from the perspective of insurance practice. The insurance is based on clients’ confidence in the payment of benefits if an event covered by the insurance has occurred as well as on the assumption that crucial data concerning major facts of the client’s life provided in the course of concluding the insurance contract (specifically in the medical survey concerning the insured’s health condition) and while the insurance relationship persists will be disclosed to nobody in an unauthorised manner. Insurance secrecy is a professional secrecy regulated by the Act of 11 September 2015 on Insurance and Reinsurance Activity in order to ensure the confidentiality of data transmitted and to maintain clients’ confidence in insurance companies. Insurance secrecy is related to the protection standard of the right to privacy, with this right constituting one of the major values.This article deals with the temporal, territorial, material and subjective scope of applying the insurance secrecy, principles of liability for the breach thereof, as well as the admissibility of consent to release the information covered by the secrecy, by citing different voices concerning those issues. In addition, the author presents judgments relating to a number of aspects concerning the practical application of provisions concerning the insurance secrecy and highlighting the basic characteristic of the institution in question. Some practical aspects related to the application of the insurance secrecy are also addressed, taking into account the current realities of the insurance market, including technical solutions (e.g. social media), by means of which beneficiaries of insurance contracts or the insured themselves inform the public about the liquidation procedure, which puts the insurance companies, or more broadly the insurance distributors, in a more difficult position in terms of their image. Finally, some de lege ferenda proposals are put forward in respect of those aspects of insurance secrecy, which, in the authors’ opinion, need to be dealt with by the legislator.
Client’s representations as a means for documenting by an insurance distributor of the client’s requirements and needs – an analysis of the market practice
Authors: Lechowski Łukasz , Werpachowski Mateusz
Published: October 2024

This article contains an analysis of the practice applied by insurance distributors with a view to concluding the insurance contract, which consists in obtaining a declaration from the client confirming that his/her requirements and needs have been determined. Such declaration is also an indication that the insurance contract concluded by the client corresponds with his/her requirements and needs in respect of the insurance contract proposed to him/her. The article also deals with the procedure for determining the client’s requirements and needs as well as with the importance of such procedure and a manner in which it can be documented. In addition, the distributor’s liability for carrying out an improper assessment of the client’s requirements and needs has been presented. The authors argue why the practice of using such declarations is not in line with the Act of 15 December 2017 on Insurance Distributions as well as touch upon the contents of the representations by indicating legal implications thereof both for the client and for the distributor.

Results of the gasochromic response on hydrogen of WO3 thin films deposited by electron beam evaporation
Authors: Weichbrodt Wiktoria , Mazur Michał
Published: October 2024

Among chromogenic materials, tungsten trioxide (WO3) is of great interest. It is a colourlesssemiconductor characterised by a lack of toxicity and high chemical stability. WO3 exhibits gasochromicproperties, meaning that the material undergoes reversible changes in optical properties when it isexposed to gas. These properties make tungsten oxide a suitable material for sensing applications. Thispaper presents the results of an analysis of the surface, structural and optical properties of tungstenoxide thin films fabricated by electron beam evaporation and annealed at 400C to 800C. Opticalproperties, including gasochromic properties, were determined from light transmission spectra inan atmosphere containing hydrogen at the concentrations ranging from 50 ppm to 500 ppm. Theoptical properties of WO3 films without and with a palladium catalyst layer are applied. Annealing thesamples at temperatures above 400C resulted in crystallisation of the layers, and further post-processmodification at 800C led to sublimation, the formation of islands of crystalline grains of large size anda significant deterioration in optical properties. A change in the light transmission coefficient occurredfor all samples with the catalyst layer applied after the introduction of a hydrogen-argon mixture.Based on the results, it can be concluded that the layers annealed at 400C had the best gasochromic properties due to the greatest changes in light transmission under hydrogen. The study confirmsthat it is possible to improve the gasochromic response of tungsten trioxide thin films produced byelectron beam evaporation using thermal modification, which, to the best of current knowledge, hasnot previously been achieved.Keywords: electronics, WO3, electron beam evaporation, gasochromic properties, optical properties,annealing, optical hydrogen gas sensor

Authors: Chiliquinga-Amaya Javier Andrés
Published: October 2024

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la política pública de acreditación implementada por el Consejo de Aseguramiento de la Calidad de la Educación Superior (CACES) en Ecuador, centrándose en dos casos específicos: el Instituto Tecnológico Cotopaxi y el Instituto Tecnológico Riobamba durante el año 2020. La investigación se llevó a cabo mediante un enfoque comparativo y utilizó un diseño metodológico que combinó entrevistas semiestructuradas y análisis de documentos, facilitando así la identificación de categorías y temas recurrentes a través del análisis de contenido y la triangulación de datos. Los resultados indican que la implementación de políticas de acreditación presenta un carácter impositivo, donde los institutos, a pesar de su disposición para cumplir con las normativas, enfrentan desafíos significativos como la falta de recursos y autonomía, lo que limita su capacidad para alcanzar los estándares de calidad establecidos. Adicionalmente, se identificaron tensiones entre los actores institucionales que, al negociar y adaptar sus demandas, revelan un contexto de complejas interacciones y conflictos de intereses. Las conclusiones subrayan la necesidad de reestructurar el enfoque de acreditación, promoviendo un diálogo más inclusivo y adaptado a las realidades de los institutos técnicos y tecnológicos, lo que podría fomentar una cultura de calidad más robusta en la educación superior ecuatoriana. Este trabajo contribuye al entendimiento de las dinámicas de calidad en la educación superior y resalta los retos que enfrentan los IST en su proceso de acreditación.
La jurisdicción indígena positivizada vulnera el principio intercultural de costumbre y tradición
Authors: Silva-Cunalata Víctor Hugo
Published: October 2024

Este artículo analiza la positivización del derecho consuetudinario indígena en el artículo 171 de la Constitución de Ecuador, evaluando cómo afecta el principio de interculturalidad. A través del estudio de casos, doctrinas jurídicas y testimonios etnográficos, se investigó cómo la integración de normas tradicionales en el marco legal estatal puede limitar la autonomía y el autogobierno de las comunidades indígenas. Si bien la constitucionalización busca proteger los derechos de estos pueblos, la imposición de estructuras estatales ajenas puede no coincidir con sus prácticas y valores, generando tensiones entre el derecho consuetudinario y el derecho positivo. Sánchez (2014) destaca que esta imposición de normas externas puede debilitar la identidad cultural y la autoridad de las instituciones tradicionales.El análisis revela que la intervención estatal en los sistemas de justicia indígena ha generado una percepción negativa en las comunidades, quienes ven afectadas sus costumbres y tradiciones. Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de una revisión crítica del marco legal para asegurar que el principio de interculturalidad sea verdaderamente respetado, fortaleciendo la participación efectiva de las comunidades en la formulación de políticas que las involucren.Se concluye con recomendaciones para mejorar la relación entre el derecho consuetudinario y el derecho positivo, proponiendo un diálogo intercultural genuino que promueva la autonomía y respete las estructuras tradicionales de las comunidades indígenas.
COMPARAÇÃO DE DIFERENTES ESCALAS DE ALERTA PRECOCE NA DECISÃO DE TRANSFERÊNCIA DE PACIENTES CRÍTICOS: UMA REVISÃO DA LITERATURA
Authors: Guimarães Danilo Araújo , Oliveira Ricardo da Rocha Sales
Published: October 2024

Este estudo investiga a eficácia de diferentes escalas de alerta precoce na transferência de pacientes críticos, especialmente em contextos de alta demanda por serviços de saúde. As escalas de alerta precoce são ferramentas essenciais para identificar pacientes que necessitam de cuidados intensivos, impactando diretamente a alocação de recursos e as decisões clínicas. A pesquisa analisou 49 artigos científicos publicados entre 2019 e 2024, utilizando bases de dados PubMed, Web of Sciente, Scopus, SciSpace e Scielo, para avaliar a eficácia, limitações e aplicabilidade das escalas NEWS, NEWS2, MEWS, MEOWS e PEWS em diversos contextos clínicos e a decisão sobre a transferência e tipo de veículo. Os resultados indicam que essas ferramentas são importantes na prática clínica, influenciando significativamente as decisões e reduzindo desfechos adversos. As escalas NEWS e NEWS2 destacam-se por sua ampla aplicabilidade e eficácia na previsão de deterioração clínica, enquanto o MEWS é valorizado por sua simplicidade. O MEOWS e o PEWS foram desenvolvidos para contextos específicos, como cuidados obstétricos e pediátricos, respectivamente. No entanto, a implementação dessas escalas enfrenta desafios, como resistência organizacional e a necessidade de integrar novas tecnologias. Conclui-se que a aplicação eficaz dessas escalas pode otimizar recursos e melhorar a segurança do paciente. Recomenda-se a realização de estudos multicêntricos para validar a eficácia das escalas em diferentes contextos e a exploração de abordagens que integrem inteligência artificial, visando aprimorar a precisão na identificação de pacientes em risco. A implementação bem-sucedida dessas ferramentas pode transformar a prática clínica, proporcionando melhores cuidados e desfechos para os pacientes.

Published: October 2024

Com o aumento da competitividade no mercado de trabalho e a necessidade de produção rápida, os trabalhadores enfrentam desgastes físicos e emocionais. Mudanças sociais afetam as relações no trabalho e a qualidade da assistência prestada. No Brasil, o crescimento de transtornos psiquiátricos, especialmente a Síndrome de Burnout, está relacionado à exaustão física e emocional devido ao esforço no trabalho, afetando o atendimento ao público e a saúde dos profissionais. O diagnóstico da síndrome exige uma avaliação abrangente avaliando todas as suas dimensões, pois pode ser confundida com depressão. É importante compreender e abordar sobre os fatores influenciadores desses problemas no ambiente de trabalho. Foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo qualitativa para avaliar o conhecimento de estudantes sobre a Síndrome de Burnout. Identificou-se, nesta pesquisa, que os principais fatores desencadeantes da Síndrome de Burnout foram a falta de realização profissional, a exaustão física e mental. Também, verificou-se que a maioria dos alunos possuem emprego e passam por dificuldades para conciliar o estudo e trabalho; que a maioria dos alunos conseguiu expressar o conhecimento sobre a Síndrome de Burnout, indiando um sinal positivo para o preparo destes estudantes para o mercado de trabalho, já que a equipe de saúde tem uma maior probabilidade de ser afetada. Conclui-se que a Síndrome de Burnout é uma doença que requer atenção dos profissionais da saúde, principalmente dos enfermeiros, por serem um dos profissionais mais acometidos por esta patologia.

Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus spp.) belongs to the class Basidiomycetes, family Agaricaceae, commonly known as ‘dhingri’ in India and proliferates naturally on dead, decay wooden logs or trunks of deciduous or coniferous woods in tropical and temperate forests. Although Pleurotus mushrooms are commercially important mushrooms but wild Pleurotus still require public recognition. Hence, the present study aimed to conduct a field survey for collection of Pleurotus mushrooms from wild regions of of Punjab Two wild Pleurotus were collected and domesticated at Mushroom Research Complex, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab which were further analyzed at molecular and biochemical levels. These mushrooms were identified at species level through ITS (Internal transcribed spacer region) based method (18S ribosomal RNA gene, internal transcribed spacer, 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene, complete sequence; and 28S ribosomal RNA gene) was carried out. The gene bank accessioned Pleurotus sapidus as MK 281339 and Pleurotus floridanus as MK 281340. Hyphae of Pleurotus sapidus was observed to be packed tightly to a greater extent as compared to Pleurotus floridanus according to the ultra-structure recorded by scanning electron microscope. Both species of Pleurotus share two different proteins of same molecular weight 24.81 KDa and 28.43 KDa. Collecting and identifying wild species is crucial to preserve the wild fruits and fathom out the benefits of wild edible Pleurotus spp.

An Interim Economic Evaluation of Sweden’s Initial COVID-19 Strategy
Authors: Andersson Henrik , Huse Cristian
Published: October 2024

Sweden adopted a softer public health COVID-19 strategy than most countries by relying on recommendations rather than restrictions. Here we focus on the effects of this choice on the economy (GDP), number of deaths and severe illnesses by comparing Sweden to a comparison group consisting of Denmark and Norway, two countries similar in many aspects to Sweden but that have differed from it in terms of COVID strategies. The Swedish policy resulted in a net loss of USD 27.3 billion (USD 2,650 per capita) stemming mostly from relative loss in GDP (83% of total). Our findings suggest that the costs of the strategy in the form of (monetized) excess deaths and severe illness cannot be justified by benefits in the form of a better economic performance.

APPLICATION FOR ANALYZING WATER QUALITY FOR TILAPIA FISH FARMING IN NET TANK
Authors: Mastelini Vinícius , Mollo Neto Mario
Published: October 2024

With the ability to provide food and income for the planet, fish farming and fishing, which are already widely practiced activities around the world, continue to grow across the globe. Water quality is essential for this type of activity. Controlling the chemical and physical factors of the water can ensure the success or failure of the farming. There are many ways to analyze water quality, but not all of them are simple or easy to use. The growing use of mobile devices has sought to facilitate this task, increasingly contributing to these and other activities. Aiming to support this evolution, the “Water Quality Monitor” application was modeled and developed, with the objective of providing, in a simple, easy and accessible way, relevant information on water quality scenarios for raising Nile tilapia fish in a cage-net farming environment. The application development methodology was based on the Rational Unified Process, focused on objects within programming and structured by UML diagrams. The final modeling proved capable of supporting the construction of an application to meet the expected requirements for assessing water quality, which during its use, allowed the control of chemical and physical factors of the water, ensuring the success of the creation, or indicating mitigating solutions for the corrections necessary for the process, being later validated in a case study.

Objective: The general objective of this study is to analyze the scientific production on cutaneous melanoma, identifying the main risk factors, prevention methods and diagnosis of this pathology. Methodology: This is a systematic review focused on understanding the essential aspects of cutaneous melanoma. The research was guided by the question: "What are the main risk factors for the development of cutaneous melanoma, as well as the methods used for prevention and diagnosis?" To find answers, searches were performed in the PubMed database using five descriptors combined with the Boolean term "AND". This resulted in 99 articles, of which 15 were selected for analysis. Results: Melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer, with exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation being the main risk factor. The association between outdoor activities, use of indoor tanning and unprotected exposure to UV radiation highlights the vulnerability of young people and fair-skinned people. Awareness campaigns, use of protective clothing and sunscreens are essential in prevention. Early screening, including technologies such as digital dermoscopy, is essential for the detection of malignant lesions. However, the diagnosis of melanoma still faces challenges due to its clinical and histopathological variability. Conclusion: Primary prevention and education about the risks of sun exposure are crucial to reduce the incidence of melanoma. Improving photoprotection strategies and regulating the use of tanning beds are necessary measures. In addition, public policies and educational interventions must be intensified to promote changes in sun protection behavior, resulting in a sustainable reduction in skin cancer cases.

Objective: The general objective of this study is to compile and evaluate the scientific evidence on Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in elderly individuals, highlighting the main clinical manifestations and management strategies of this comorbidity for greater clinical elucidation. Methodology: This is a systematic review guided by the question: "What are the main comorbidities associated with depression in geriatric patients, as well as the management used to treat the clinical practice?". The searches were performed in the PubMed Central (PMC) database using the descriptors: Depressive Disorder and Elderly, and Depressive Disorder and Health Care for the Elderly, combined with the Boolean term "AND". A total of 170 articles were identified, of which 13 met the inclusion criteria, resulting in the analysis of a total of relevant studies. Results: MDD in the elderly is a significant public health challenge, with a high prevalence of comorbidities, frailty, and the impact of neurocognitive dysfunctions. Screening tools, such as the Geriatric Depression Scale, are useful but have limitations in excluding somatic symptoms. Pharmacological treatment should be administered with caution due to polypharmacy and frequent drug interactions. Nonpharmacologic interventions, such as lifestyle modifications and reduced polypharmacy, can improve depressive symptoms and quality of life in older adults. Conclusion: An in-depth understanding of MDD in older adults is critical to improving clinical practices and patient outcomes, necessitating a holistic and ongoing approach. Future studies should prioritize specific therapeutic strategies that include a comprehensive assessment of the physical, mental, and functional health of this vulnerable population.

Introduction: Climate change poses a significant global health threat, impacting human health through extreme weather events, disruptions to food systems, and the spread of diseases. Brazilian emergency medicine faces unique challenges, particularly in response to climate-related crises such as floods, heatwaves, and wildfires. This study aims to discuss the implications of climate change on Brazilian emergency medicine and the roles emergency physicians must adopt to address these challenges. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted, focusing on recent events and actions taken by Brazilian emergency physicians and institutions. Key topics analyzed include extreme weather events, disease outbreaks, and public health interventions. Institutional reports and clinical guidelines from the Associação Brasileira de Medicina de Emergência (ABRAMEDE) were also reviewed. Results: Brazil has been increasingly affected by climate-related disasters, particularly in states like Rio Grande do Sul. Emergency departments were overwhelmed during recent floods and heatwaves. Arboviral diseases such as dengue have surged, exacerbated by rising temperatures. Wildfires, particularly in the Amazon, have further strained emergency services, with respiratory diseases and logistical challenges in patient transport becoming critical issues. ABRAMEDE has issued recommendations on hospital disaster preparedness and clinical guidelines to mitigate these health crises. Conclusions:Brazilian emergency physicians must focus on enhancing climate-related education, increasing resource allocation for emergency departments, and improving disaster preparedness. These steps are crucial for addressing the evolving health challenges posed by climate change, particularly in vulnerable populations. Emergency medicine must adapt to safeguard public health as environmental conditions continue to shift.

Introduction. Career exploration is an individual's efforts  to gain a better understanding of career-related information, alternatives, and choices. Through career exploration, individuals develop self-awareness and knowledge about future work, which may contribute to forming a commitment to a career choice. Career exploration behavior encompasses self-assessment and external search activities that provide information to support career choice and adjustment.
Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the factors that influence the success of career exploration in schools. Career exploration is one of the important stages in the process of making informed career decision, as it can be linked to difficulties in making career decisions due to a lack of maturity in career exploration.
Methodology and research methods. This article presents a systematic literature review on the factors influencing career exploration in schools, using the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The research examines career exploration in schools between 2018 and 2023. A total of 137 articles were reviewed, and 36 were selected based on inclusion criteria. A bibliometric review was then conducted, involving empirical and theoretical analysis of the available data related to the phenomenon of career exploration in schools and the factors that influence it.
Result. The bibliometric results and the influential factors related to career exploration in schools are presented. The largest number of affiliated journals and authors studying this phenomenon originate from the United States of America. The research findings indicate that the influential factors of career exploration can be categorized into four groups: in-depth self-exploration, extensive self-exploration, in-depth environmental exploration, and extensive environmental exploration.
Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty of this research lies in the discovery of factors that influence the success of career exploration in schools. This includes the initial grand theory of career exploration trends, the distribution of best practices for successful career exploration across various countries representing different continents, and up-to-date literature from the last five years.
Practical significance. This systematic literature review has addressed how career exploration activities are conducted in schools, highlighting the influencing factors and their correlations with other fields. The results of this research have implications for future studies, particularly regarding career exploration as an individual decision-making preference. For educators, the findings suggest a need for individualized planning services to enhance students' career exploration, making it more focused and measurable in the context of career decision-making.
A Scoping Review of Nurses' Knowledge and Preparedness in Disaster Management in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Rashdan Alsolmi Basel
Published: October 2024

Nurses are the front-line responders to disasters. Providing them with sufficient knowledge, training, and preparedness is essential. Saudi Arabia, a country prone to numerous disasters, needs to enhance the training and preparedness of nurses and first responders to effectively respond to emergencies and minimize the impact on lives and the economy. The aim of this scoping review is to evaluate the preparedness of nurses and identify emerging trends in disaster nursing in Saudi Arabia. This review will serve as a foundation for future rigorous studies. A comprehensive search strategy was developed and implemented, sourcing studies from various online databases. Each study was evaluated for inclusion, followed by a critical appraisal. The key characteristics of the 13 included studies were charted, and the studies were then mapped onto the ICN framework. The key themes and patterns emerging from the appraisal were analyzed using the PAGER framework. In the discussion, the PAGER framework was expanded, incorporating insights from existing literature to identify gaps and develop avenues for future research. The implications of this research include recommendations to focus on experimental studies that investigate the most effective strategies for improving disaster preparedness among nurses.

Introduction: Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the periodontal supporting tissues. In addition to dental loss, it has been associated with various metabolic disorders, including obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to analyze the effects of periodontal disease on the prevention and treatment of NAFLD in the adult population. Method: An electronic search of systematic reviews published between 2019 and 2024 was conducted in the Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, as well as in the Epistemonikos meta-search engine. The search strategy was "Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease AND Periodontitis". A total of 47 articles were identified, of which three systematic reviews with meta-analyses were analyzed. Results: The results indicated a potential association between periodontal disease and NAFLD, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.48 (95% CI: 1.15 to 1.89; I² = 92%) and 1.91 (95% CI: 1.21 to 3.02; I² = 95%). However, this link has not been definitively proven, as heterogeneity decreases and the number of patients increases, resulting in an OR of 1.04 (95% CI: 0.97 to 1.12; I² = 58%). Conclusion: It is suggested that systemic inflammation and pro-inflammatory markers may play a significant role in the pathophysiology of both conditions. Nonetheless, further studies are needed to clarify this relationship and explore the common metabolic parameters.
