New rules of remote work – amendment to the labour code
Authors:   Opole University of Technology, Szymura Monika
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The impulse to write the article was the coming into force on 7 April 2023 of the amendment to the Labour Code, which introduced regulations regarding remote work. The possibility of an employee working remotely was provided for in Art. 3 of the Act of 2 March 2020, the act on special solutions related to the prevention, counteracting and combating of COVID-19, other infectious diseases, and crisis situations caused by them (The Act, 2020, Item 1842). Due to the temporary nature of the above-mentioned regulation, it became necessary to statutorily regulate the principles of remote work. The new regulations undoubtedly constitute a challenge for employers and make the issue of remote work in labour law important and topical. Author presents the definition and types of remote work, as well critically evaluates new regulations. Design/methodology/approach: The deliberations are based on the related literature on the subject and an analysis of the legal provisions applicable in the area under discussion. Findings: The current structure of remote working is less restrictive. The amendment does not specify any conditions enabling the introduction of remote work. The current regulation allows for more flexibility than with teleworking, because remote work does not always have to be only work the effects of which can be sent via electronic communication. There are also some criticisms of the above, though. The new regulation is extensive, and numerous references to other articles make the provisions relatively illegible. The procedure for agreeing on remote work has been significantly formalised, and part of the risk associated with its performance has been transferred to the employee. Practical implications: Adjusting their business to the new legal requirements, entrepreneurs will need to implement far-reaching organisational changes. For this reason, knowledge about the remote work regulations has become increasingly important. Originality/value: The article raises the issue of remote work, which is important not only from the point of view of the employee but also from the entrepreneur’s perspective. The issues arising from this are the subject of only a few publications. Keywords: labour law, remote work, entrepreneurs’ obligations, employee. Category of the paper: viewpoint, literature review

Published: May 2024

The decentralization of health care in Brazil, which occurred in the last years since the 1988 constitution, has promoted changes in the mental health care sector. Some proposals for reform in the sector, such as the deactivation of psychiatric hospitals, were implemented. In place of the old asylums, new centers of mental health care emerged, with coexistence in open centers and use of multidisciplinary therapy. Today, the Psychosocial Care Centers called CAPS are already part of the reality of several cities in the country. In Ceará, there were several CAPS in the capital and the interior. In this context of changes also appeared a new therapeutic modality the Community Therapy - TC, implemented by professor Adalberto Barreto, first developed in Fortaleza in Quatro Varas Community, initiating a different approach of attention to mental health. In it the participants help themselves in overcoming their problems, improving their self-esteem and facilitating their return to social life. Our research was carried out with users of the CAPS in South Ceará area, aiming to study the influence of Community Therapy on the treatment of patients. The research was of qualitative character through interviews with users of the CAPS, participants of the Community Therapy. Conclusion: Community Therapy was perceived as positive, a contribution to emotional health. Socialization (environment of meeting with friends, a place of dialogue, where people are willing to listen, moment of fraternization) and a Ressignification (solution of a problem, development, a mental path, attitudes of sad people are softened) of the needs of its users.

Objetivo: O presente estudo, visa analisar e descrever a relação do Herpes vírus na formação e progressão das patologias de origem endodôntica. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma revisão da literatura por meio da busca de artigos indexados nas seguintes bases de dados: Biblioteca virtual em saúde (BVS), Pubmed, Scielo e Google acadêmico. Foram utilizados os seguintes descritores: Cavidade oral, Herpes vírus e patologia periapical. Estabeleceu-se também critérios referentes ao tipo de estudo, que incluíram revisões de literatura, relatos de caso e estudos clínicos randomizados, sem restrições de idiomas, entre os anos de 2003 á 2023, totalizando 14 artigos para elaboração final dessa pesquisa. Resultados: Estudos sugerem que a presença do vírus pode influenciar na inflamação periapical, comprometendo a saúde dos tecidos dessa região, afetando assim a resposta ao tratamento endodôntico. A reativação do vírus pode ocorrer em situações de estresse ou imunossupressão, podendo desencadear ou agravar esse tipo de doença. Considerações finais: Essa interação complexa entre o Herpes vírus e as lesões endodônticas requer uma abordagem cuidadosa durante o diagnóstico e tratamento endodôntico. No entanto, são necessárias mais pesquisas para entender completamente essa interação e desenvolver estratégias terapêuticas mais eficazes. Considerando a importância da saúde bucal e a prevalência do herpes vírus na população, é crucial integrar o conhecimento sobre essa relação na prática clínica para oferecer o melhor cuidado aos pacientes.

A Ressuscitação cardiopulmonar (RCP) é uma técnica de emergência realizada com auxílio de compressão torácica e ventilação artificial, sendo preconizada como um padrão de ressuscitação. Esta revisão sistemática tem por objetivo sumarizar os resultados dos estudos realizados quanto à posição ideal das mãos durante a RCP bem como sugerir outras opções de posicionamento das mãos, visto que há evidências científicas de que as manobras atualmente usadas não são tão eficazes quanto se pensava. A metodologia foi conduzida conforme a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). A busca se deu na base de dados PubMed e Cochrane, de maio a junho de 2019, conforme a seguinte estratégia de busca, somente com termos em inglês: hands and heart massage and heart arrest, usando os filtros: Humans; Adults e artigos dos últimos 12 anos, quando iniciaram os primeiros estudos sobre o assunto em questão. Os critérios de inclusão utilizados foram: estudos em seres humanos; idade maior de dezoito anos; abordagem direta acerca de que a recomendação do local ideal para massagem cardíaca atualmente preconizado nas diretrizes precisa ser revisto; identificação de novas formas de encontrar o ponto ideal das manobras de compressão torácica; artigos em inglês. Foram encontrados 49 artigos, sendo 24, restando 25 para leitura dos respectivos resumos. Destes foram selecionados apenas 7, incluindo os estudos resultantes das buscas e as referências adicionais encontradas manualmente. Conclui-se que, de fato, as estruturas intratorácicas que são comprimidas durante as manobras de ressuscitação aplicadas na linha intermamilar, são em sua maioria a via de saída do ventrículo esquerdo e ramos da aorta (raiz ou aorta ascendente). Logo, os efeitos hemodinâmicos para o paciente em parada cardíaca não são tão eficazes para a reversão do quadro, visto que, para tal, o ideal seria a compressão do ventrículo esquerdo.

Conformational Control over Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer in Metalloenzymes
Authors: Fatima Saman , Olshansky Lisa
Published: May 2024

From the reduction of dinitrogen to the oxidation of water, the chemical transformations catalyzed by metalloenzymes underlie global geo- and biochemical cycles. These reactions represent some of the most kinetically and thermodynamically challenging processes known. They require the complex choreography of nature’s fundamental building blocks: electrons and protons, to be carried out with utmost precision and accuracy; mistimed synchronicity can be fatal. Gated by macrostructural conformational changes, the rate-determining steps of catalysis in many of these enzymes consist of protein structural rearrangements. Accordingly, a pattern emerges in which it appears that nature has evolved to leverage changes in macromolecular protein structure to control changes in the metallocofactor microstructure. This critical review defines (where possible) and discusses the detailed molecular mechanisms of how metalloenzymes are able to efficiently convert allosteric binding energy into activation energy through conformational gating. Here, the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) mechanisms in biology stand as a paradigm for the interplay between molecular and electronic structural control. Taking nitrogenase, photosystem II, and ribonucleotide reductase as examples, we present the culmination of decades of study on each of these systems to clarify what is known regarding the interplay between structural changes and functional outcomes in these metalloenzyme linchpins.

Museum online collections now contain millions of objects, making developing tools for supporting users in navigating these a priority. We present a user-centric study of a recommendation system created to browse Art UK’s digital collection according to personal preference. Three forms of recommendations were explored: image-only, metadata-only, and a combination of the two. Recommendations were evaluated against a baseline of artworks chosen at random. To create a holistic picture of user engagement, both subjective ratings and interaction data were collected. Whilst ratings data showed a uniformly positive perception of the system, the interaction data showed significantly deeper and longer engagement with the artworks that were recommended. Results indicate 1) that recommendations can be a useful tool to help users explore online art collections, and 2) that when evaluating recommendation systems, interaction data can capture patterns of increased engagement that are not evident in subjective ratings.

Children are surrounded by portable digital tools that afford novel and quite intuitive interactions. Yet the evidence on how digital media influences children's language and literacy development is sparse and inconsistent, and clear guidelines for parents, educators, and policymakers are lacking. This evidence briefing critically reviews the latest scientific evidence and translates it into actionable recommendations: Managing screen time, selecting digital content, and co-using digital media. These recommendations are also illustrated in an accessible video format, available in different languages. By translating complex research findings into actionable recommendations for stakeholders, we aim to promote a balanced use of digital media for children’s language and literacy growth in the current digital ecology.
Thermophoresis in Dispersed Nanoparticles
Authors: Sharma Udit
Published: May 2024

This study explores the complex interplay of factors influencing thermal conductivity enhancement in nanofluids, which are sus-pensions of nanoparticles in base fluids. Nanofluids have emerged as promising materials for improving thermal properties due to the high thermal conductivity of certain nanoparticles. The research delves into the phenomenon of thermophoresis, considering temperature-dependent properties of base fluids and nanofluids. It analyzes five particle materials (gold, alumina, titania, copper, and silver) and six types of base-fluids to understand particle migration potential. The study suggests that variations in scaled thermal diffusion factor with temperature and particle size indicate potential for more uniform particle distribution at higher temperatures and smaller sizes. Nanoparticle material and volume fraction also impact migration potential, with certain materials showing thermophoretic potential over wider temperature ranges. Additionally, the study investigates Kapitza resistance at the nanoparticle-fluid interface, which significantly affects effective thermal conductivity. Molecular dynamics simulations and experimental studies have calculated Kapitza resistance for various interfaces, highlighting its temperature-dependent nature. The study concludes by deriving a universal relationship between the Suratman number (Su) and the Scaled Thermal Diffusion Factor (φTST), providing insights into whether a system will develop a concentration gradient or remain uniformly distributed. This analysis serves as a valuable tool for predicting and designing nanofluid systems for enhanced thermalconductivity in various engineering applications.

Meditation use is now as common as mental health service access. Understanding meditation- related adverse effects (AEs) is therefore critical. We aimed to (a) estimate incidence rates of meditation-related unusual experiences and AEs, and (b) identify sociodemographic and health-related characteristics predicting their incidence. We conducted a cross-sectional, population-based survey of 886 US adults (approximately representing population age, gender, and race/ethnicity) stratified by lifetime meditation experience and type. 96.6% reported an unusual experience, 58.4% reported an AE (Inventory of Meditation Experiences), 78.3% endorsed 1+ Meditation-related AEs Scale item, 31.4% endorsed experiencing a challenging, difficult, or distressing experience, and 9.1% reported functional impairment due to AEs. In a robust multiple regression, psychological distress, psychoticism, unusual beliefs, and meditation retreat participation were positively associated with unusual experiences and AEs. It is essential that: (a) potential meditators are informed about possible experiences; (b) providers consider risk-factors; and (c) AEs are routinely and actively monitored.
Interference Predicts Locality: Evidence from an SOV Language

Published: May 2024

Locality and Interference are two mechanisms which are attested to drive sentence comprehension. However, the relationship between them remains unclear---are they alternative explanations or do they operate independently? To answer this question, we test the hypothesis that in Hindi, interference effects (measured by semantic similarity and case markers) significantly predict locality effects (modelled using dependency length quantifying distance between syntactic heads and their dependents) within a sentence, while controlling for expectation-based measures and discourse givenness. Using data from the Hindi-Urdu Treebank corpus (HUTB), we validate the stated hypothesis. We demonstrate that sentences with longer dependency length consistently have semantically similar preverbal dependents, more case markers, greater syntactic surprisal, and violate intra-sentential givenness considerations. Overall, our findings point towards the conclusion that locality effects are reducible to broader memory interference effects rather than being distinct manifestations of locality in syntax. Finally, we discuss the implications of our findings for the theories of interference in comprehension.

This article addresses the critical issue of citizens' attitudes toward law enforcement, focusing on motivational postures towards the police (i.e., the psychological dispositions that individuals maintain towards the police). The study contributes by providing the first validated motivational postures scale towards the police in Spanish. It responds to a gap in research on motivational postures within Spanish-speaking societies and the absence of properly validated scales in both English and Spanish. Using two independent online panel samples from Chile, exploratory (Study 1, n = 1,163) and confirmatory (Study 2, n = 770) factor analyses were conducted refining a scale that initially proposed five postures (commitment, capitulation, resistance, disengagement, game-playing). Surprisingly, a sixth posture, termed "avoidance", emerged in Study 1, reflecting a physical-behavioral dimension of distancing from the police. The scale with six motivational postures dimensions was validated with satisfactory results, evidenced by favorable fit indices. Concurrently validated, the scale exhibited correlations with positive and negative emotions towards the police, procedural justice, legitimacy and identification with the police. However, divergent validation results were unexpected, revealing correlations between trait aggressiveness and motivational postures, possibly influenced by the context of heightened police repression. Given the relevance of citizen-police dynamics in democratic societies, this research offers insights crucial for reducing conflict and violence between citizens and the police. Future studies are encouraged to explore the contextual relevance of the avoidance dimension, replicate divergent validity analyses using alternative variables, and validate the scale in other Spanish-speaking contexts.

Inovasi Pendidikan adalah untuk memecahkan masalah pendidikan melalui perubahan atau pembaharuan. Inovasi dalam pembelajaran dikelas sangat penting dilakukan. Karena perkembangan teknologi yang pesat dapat dimanfaatkan dalam berinovasi dalam pembelajaran dikelas. Salah satunya berinovasi menggunakan teknologi, di era saat ini teknologi berkembang dengan sangat pesat hampir sema kalangan menggunakaan kemudahan teknologi. Peran utama berinovasi menggunakan teknologi didalam kelas adalah seorang guru, guru harus dapat membuat nyaman suasana dikelas dan menarik perhatian peserta didik inovasi menggunakan teknolologi salah satunya. . Peserta didik menfaatkannya media teknologi melalui gawai yang dimiliki. Kebiasaan pemanfaatan yang dilakukan guru dengan mengkolaborasikan aktivitas melalui gawai memberikan dampak yang positif. Gawai yang setiap harinya digunakan untuk menjelajah sosial media, seperti whatsapp, facebook, Instagram, twitter, youtube, line, telegram dan lain-lain dapat menjadi gawai yang digunakan dalam pembelajaran menarik. Apabila tidak melakukan inovasi dalam hal pembelajaran peserta didik akan mudah bosan. Namun tidak dapat kita pungkiri walau banyak maanfaat dalam berinovasi menggunakan teknologi tetap terdapat sisinegatifnya.
