Aporte, Impacto Y Reflexiones De La Filosofía En La Gerencia Administrativa. Una Búsqueda Documental
Authors: García García Jorge Armando , Vélez Salamanca Juan Andrés
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo considera y se propone como una reflexión con la cual se pretende establecer una relación entre las distintas escuelas y pensamientos filosóficos, y su impacto en la ciencia administrativa. Metodológicamente se parte de una revisión en el tiempo de la literatura relacionada con los diferentes postulados que se presentan en las distintas escuelas filosóficas a lo largo del tiempo construyendo un marco conceptual temporal y sobre el cual se plantea reflexiones a la luz pensamiento administrativo, estratégico y gerencial actual.
Dicho recorrido histórico de la filosofía se estructura a partir de las distintas épocas filosóficas divididas en cuatro momentos: época antigua, hasta 430 d. C.; época medievalidad, desde el 430 d. C. hasta 1453; época moderna, desde 1453 hasta segunda revolución industrial (1914) y la época contemporánea, desde 1914 hasta hoy. De esta manera el documento refleja un hilo de pensamiento de las distintas posturas y pensamientos de autores representantes según la distribución descrita y acto seguido la reflexión acerca de los elementos administrativos que reflejan esa línea de pensamiento. La administración, por tanto, no ha tenido una definición unívoca, pero la filosofía y el pensamiento de grandes personajes le han ido brindando, a lo lago de la historia, y los fundamentos epistemológicos permite aportar a convertirse en lo que es hoy: una ciencia reflexiva, conceptual y práctica.
Approaches To The Factors Involved In The Economic And Productive Performance Of Dairy Farmas In The Pampas Region
Authors: Apez Marina
Published: December 2023

Bovine milk production is carried out in complex productive systems that require constant monitoring of the factors that question them. Likewise, the sector needs to understand the stagnation of annual production at the national level, characterized by a drop in the number of establishments and herds, and a progressive productive efficiency. This entails the study of the determinants of both the economic (EP) and productive (PP) performance of the establishments, what could allow them to improve their competitiveness and, together with other exogenous factors, collaborate to overcome this prolonged stage of productive stability.
Starting from a typology of dairy farms in the Pampas Region, the behavior of variables (profitability, cost of production and productivity of the land) and their interrelationship are analyzed. Finally, flexible econometric models that approximate the estimation of the economic and productive performance of the systems under study are formed and analyzed, based on factors that may be decisive for their evolution. The best models resulted from those that used synthetic variables (principal components) as inputs, compared to those that made us and selection of system-specific variables, correcting problems of multicollinearity.
The use of instrumental variables could contribute to the resolution of the multicausality present among the factors of the models analyzed.

Solvability conditions and a structure of the generalized Green's operator of a linear Noether boundary value problem for a matrix integral-differential system unsolved with respect to the derivative, which generalizes integral-differential systems of the Fredholm type with a degenerate kernel. To solve the matrix integral-differential boundary value problem unsolved with respect to the derivative, original solvability conditions were used, as well as the structure of the general solution of the Sylvester-type matrix equation.
Extremal properties of Sobolev's Beltrami coefficients and distortion of curvelinear functionals
Authors: Krushkal Samuel
Published: December 2023

An important problem in applications of quasiconformal analysis and in its numerical aspect is to establish algorithms for explicit or approximate determination of the basic quasiinvariant curvelinear and analytic functionals intrinsically connected with conformal and quasiconformal maps, such as their Teichmüller and Grunsky norms, Fredholm eigenvalues and the quasireflection coefficients of associated quasicircles. We prove two general theorems of new type answering this question for univalent functions in arbitrary quasiconformal domains and provide its applications. The results are strengthened in the case of maps of the disk and give rise to extremal Beltrami coefficients of a new type.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat the biliary tract and pancreas’ diseases. We would like to present a clinical case of a 66­year­old patient, who underwent ERCP due to obstructive jaundice complicated by the subcapsular hematoma, 11.6×4.7×13.4 cm in size according to the computed tomography (CT), and by the left­sided hydrothorax after the hematoma was removed. The patient was successfully treated and discharged on the 15th day after drainage of the pleural cavity. Subcapsular hematoma is a potentially lethal and rare complication that can be treated with a conservative therapy, if diagnosed at an early stage.

Published: December 2023

Background. The prediction of bacteremia in the emergency department (ER) is important for initial decision-making. The elderly population is a diagnosis challenge. The objective was to evaluate the accuracy of mid regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM) to identify true bacteremia (BV) in elderly patients attended in 3 hospital emergency departments. Methods. Observational study including patients ≥75 years of age or older attended in the ER for suspected infection in whom a blood culture (BC) was extracted. Sociodemographic, comorbidity, hemodynamic and analytical variables, biomarkers [MR-proADM, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate] and final diagnosis were collected. The primary outcome was a true positive on a blood culture. Results. A total of 109 patients with a mean age of 83 (SD: 5.5) years were included. A final diagnosis of BV was obtained in 22 patients (20.2%). The independent variables to predict it were PCT (OR: 13.9; CI95%: 2.702-71.703; p=0.002), MR-proADM (OR: 4.081; CI95%: 1.026-16.225; p=0.046) and temperature (OR: 2.171; CI95%: 1.109-4.248; p=0.024). Considering the cut-off point for MR-proADM (2.13 mg/dl), a sensitivity (Se) of 73%, specificity (E) of 71%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 39%, a negative predictive value (NPV) of 91%, a positive likelihood ratio (LHR+) of 2.53 and a negative likelihood ratio (LHR-) of 0.38; for PCT (0.76 mg/dl) a Se of 90%, E of 65%, PPV of 40%, NPV of 96%, LHR+ 2,64 and a LHR- of 0.14 were obtained. When combining both, a Se of 69%, E of 84%, PPV of 52%, NPV of 91%, LHR+ of 4.24 and LHR- of 0.38 were observed. Conclusions. Elevated levels of PCT and MR-proADM were independently associated with an increased risk of BV and the combination of both improves the accuracy to identify these patients.
Index Integrating Soil, Vegetation, Climate and Management Qualities to Evaluate Desertification in the Northwestern Coast, Egypt
Authors: Gad A. , Mansour Rania
Published: December 2023

In Egypt, the phenomenon of desertification is a geographical phenomenon that is related to the decline or deterioration of the land's biological production capacity, which will eventually result in semi-desert conditions, or, in other words, the loss of fertility from productive lands. An understanding of the geographical distribution of environmentally sensitive areas (ESAs) is necessary for sustainable land use in the dry lands. The characteristics of the research region and the Mediterranean desertification and land use (MEDALUS) approach were used to evaluate the environmental sensitivity to desertification on the west-north coast of Egypt. Remote sensing images, topographic data, soils, and geological data are used to calculate desertification indicators. A hotspot of desertification risk exists on the north coast of Egypt due to soil degradation, climatic conditions, geomorphological and topographic features, soil quality and soil uses in each area. In each of these areas, these variables lead to varying levels and causes of soil degradation and desertification, as well as varying environmental, economic, and social effects. The obtained data reveal that (10.6%, 82.73%) of the west north coast are Sensitive and Very sensitive areas to desertification, About 1.22% of the research area is the moderately sensitive area, while the low sensitive and very low exhibit only (4.21,1.48) %. Remote sensing and GIS are recommended to monitor sensitivity. MEDALUS factors can be modified to obtain more reliable data at the local level.
Construction of diazepine-containing spiroindolines via annulation reaction of α-halogenated N-acylhydrazones and isatin-derived MBH carbonates
Authors: Liu Xing , Shi Wenjing , Sun Jing , Yan Chao-Guo
Published: December 2023

A straightforward synthetic protocol for the efficient construction of diazepine-containing spiroindolines has been developed and proceeds through a by base-promoted annulation reaction of α-halogenated N-acylhydrazones and isatin-derived MBH carbonates. The reaction mechanism of this formal [4 + 3] annulation includes the in situ generated allylic ylide, nucleophilic substitution, Michael additon, and elimination processes. Additionally, the similar reaction with α-halogenated N-tosylhydrazones also afforded N-tosyl-substituted spiro[indoline-3,5'-[1,2]diazepine] in satisfactory yields. This protocol provides a convenient approach for the assembly of diverse highly functionalized spiro[indoline-3,5'-[1,2]diazepines] and also features a broad substrate scope, simple reaction conditions, and high molecular convergence.

Education inclusiveness among children with learning disabilities in Nigeria: Implications for counselling psychology
Authors: Olanrewaju Muraina , Omolara Oladele
Published: December 2023

Education is seen as the cornerstone of every development forming the basis for literacy, skill acquisition, technological advancement as well as the ability to harness the natural resources of the state. Participants in the World Conference on “Education for All” pointed out that education is a fundamental right of all people, women, and men of all ages throughout the world. Learning disabilities occurs when the learning process is hampered due to problems within the central nervous system which results in an inconsistency between the individual’s intelligence quotient and academic achievement. Education for All programs emanated from UNICEF, UNESCO and the World Bank had some positive results for non-disabled children. School enrollment and literacy rates have risen in almost all countries to date; however the same cannot be said for children with disabilities. Despite the numerous meetings, declarations and encouraging developments that have followed over the years, progress has certainly not matched. The development of education inclusiveness can be viewed in three stages which include segregation, integration, and education inclusiveness. Successful inclusion is less to do with the individual factor such as amount of support for the child; rather, it is the interaction of certain key factors that bring about the likelihood of a more successful inclusion outcome for the child. Varieties of instructional skills which include assessment, communication, management, motivational and evaluation (ACMME) are needed by the teachers to build education inclusiveness. In view of the above, the study stressed that there should be a re-orientation of attitudes of people towards persons with disabilities in the society to reduce stigmatization and discrimination and that counselling psychologists and other educational stakeholders should be trained on the need to strengthen the to enhance the practice of inclusive education.

Published: December 2023

The leadership style that predominates in companies can substantially impact the quality of work, as well as the satisfaction, motivation and well-being of employees, contributing to organizational performance. In this sense, the study aims to analyze the relationship between leadership styles and the well-being of employees in the workplace. The analysis was carried out through quantitative research with data collection using an electronic questionnaire. The sample comprised 145 respondents, 85 of whom were women and 60 were men. It was possible to identify that employee performance is directly related to their level of well-being at work, just as well-being is related to the type of leadership that the environment has. Thus, the study contributes to management literature, providing a reflection on the relationship between leadership styles and well-being, an important factor for organizations, as it is possible to identify the correlations between the two themes and which aspects the leader can follow to improve your relationship with the work team and increase people's level of well-being. In the social sphere, the insights identified in the study allow companies to better manage their teams, providing more humanized and welcoming environments to coexist.

Xenofobia memética: un breve análisis de memes de internet con mensajes discriminatorios alrededor de la migración venezolana y nicaragüense en Costa Rica.
Authors: Obando Reyes Fernando Jesús
Published: December 2023

El siguiente artículo cuestiona las propuestas que identifican al humor como una característica intrínseca de los memes de internet, apoyándose en referentes investigativos que toman en cuenta diversas emotividades a la hora de pensar las interacciones con estos insumos. A partir de esto, se argumenta que los memes pueden ser utilizados para articular mensajes discriminatorios o en detrimento de una población en específico. Para demostrar lo anterior, se propone una revisión de la definición de “memes de internet”, con el fin de problematizarles como herramientas de comunicación digital que van en consonancia con la modernidad tardía y permiten la inscripción de diversas representaciones sociales (Moscovici, 1993). Además, se realiza un monitoreo de la página de Facebook “Realidades Nacionales C.R Recargado”, de la cual fueron seleccionados seis memes a cuyo discurso se le aplicó un ejercicio de análisis crítico.
Se concluye que para el caso de personas que emiten discursos xenofóbicos o discriminatorios, elementos como el odio, disgusto, enojo e incertidumbre, pueden volverse asideros para la construcción de mensajes plasmados en este tipo de material difundido en línea. Además, se identifica que las representaciones sociales de las personas migrantes en dichos memes de internet parten de varios estereotipos acerca de ellas, alimentados por ideologías conservadoras y apologistas de discursos racistas, xenofóbicos y nacionalistas-paternalistas.

Estrategias de imitación de identidad visual con la paletería mexicana La Michoacana
Authors: Barba González Rosario , Alvarado Hernández Montserrat
Published: December 2023

La identidad visual de la paletería La Michoacana supone un caso especial de producto imitador o copycat en el que, a través del uso consistente de su imagen en los puntos de venta y publicidad, se construye la idea de una sola estrategia empresarial, a pesar de no serlo. La imagen se asocia con calidad y es ampliamente identificada, al menos, en el centro de México. Dado que se encuentran pocos estudios de este fenómeno, esta investigación pretende subsanar este vacío a través del análisis de tiendas en el territorio de la ciudad de Querétaro. Más allá del caso de estudio, se pretende que este trabajo dé luz sobre una práctica común en la construcción de marca. 
Dada la volatilidad del giro, es difícil tener el registro preciso del universo de tiendas que comparten el nombre, sin embargo, se encontró una pista metodológica a través de la encuesta en línea que permitió recuperar una muestra amplia para el análisis por medio de fotografías. Se presentan los hallazgos simulando el que se haría en una estrategia de branding a manera de énfasis en la coherencia.

Published: December 2023

Los usuarios de redes sociales, seguro han conocido eventos extraordinarios que, tras ser una noticia, terminan por encontrar en Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok o YouTube, cajas de resonancia generadoras de un significativo paisaje mediático. Especialmente en eventos sorprendentes, donde las ciencias no siempre tienen respuestas inmediatas son en los que las tecnologías digitales se vuelven medios a través de los cuales se asoman otras posibilidades del entendimiento humano. Allí, las creencias son el sedimento de mitos definidores de otras epistemologías. Por tanto, es objetivo de este artículo realizar un acercamiento al papel que juega la comunicación en la construcción de narrativas míticas que están definiendo prácticas de sentido entre usuarios de redes sociales. La investigación de referencia es cualitativa, para cuyo levantamiento empírico se ha considerado la observación online, la entrevista semiestructurada y el análisis de contenido cualitativo para interpretar los hallazgos.

Violencia política contra la mujer en razón de género en los periódicos del estado de Campeche
Authors: Cupul Aguilar Rocío Zac Nicté , Gómez Xuffi Yanahuí Guadalupe
Published: December 2023

La imagen de la mujer en los medios de comunicación es asociada al rol que desempeña en una sociedad sexista, estereotipada y prejuiciosa. Se le encasilla en patrones predefinidos asociados a la debilidad, la feminidad, a un lugar minusvalorado como agente social y donde no destacan su intelecto ni los cargos públicos o de representación popular que ocupa. Por ello, este trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar el tratamiento que se le da a las mujeres inmersas en el proceso electoral de Campeche en las elecciones de gubernatura, diputaciones locales, integrantes de ayuntamientos y juntas municipales, específicamente en los discursos de seis periódicos estatales impresos. La investigación tiene un enfoque mixto con alcance descriptivo y diseño no experimental, con un instrumento integrado de veintiséis ítems que ofrecen un diagnóstico de los periódicos impresos observados. Los resultados arrojaron áreas de oportunidad que, sin duda, se traducen en retos: mayor protagonismo a las candidatas en las notas y su identificación en las portadas e imágenes donde destaquen en la actividad que realizan. De igual forma, darle importancia al proceso electoral e informar de manera oportuna y objetiva a los lectores, además de fortalecer la investigación en el área periodística, sobre todo política y de género, que es el tema de análisis del monitoreo.

Published: December 2023

We study the recent outburst of the black hole candidate EXO 1846-031, which went into an outburst in 2019 after almost 34 yr in quiescence. We use archival data from the Swift/XRT, MAXI/GSC, NICER/XTI, and NuSTAR/FPM satellites/instruments to study the evolution of the spectral and temporal properties of the source during the outburst. The low-energy (2–10 keV) X-ray flux of the outburst shows multiple peaks, making it a multipeak outburst. Evolving type-C quasi-periodic oscillations are observed in the NICER data in the hard, hard-intermediate, and soft-intermediate states. We use the physical two-component advective flow (TCAF) model to analyze the combined spectra of multiple satellite instruments. According to the TCAF model, the accreting matter is divided into Keplerian and sub-Keplerian parts, and the variation in the observed spectra in different spectral states arises out of the variable contributions of these two types of accreting matter in the total accretion rate. Studying the evolution of the accretion rates and other properties of the accretion flow obtained from the spectral analysis, we show that the multiple peaks in the outburst flux arise out of the variable supply of accreting matter from the pile-up radius. We determine the probable mass of the black hole to be

from the spectral analysis with the TCAF model. We also estimate the viscous timescale of the source in this outburst to be ∼8 days from the peak difference of the Keplerian and sub-Keplerian mass-accretion rates.
Pair Plasma Cascade in Rotating Black Hole Magnetospheres with a Split Monopole Flux Model
Authors: Sitarz Michael C. , Medvedev Mikhail V. , Ford Alexander L.
Published: December 2023

An electron-positron cascade in the magnetospheres of Kerr black holes (BHs) is a fundamental ingredient to fueling the relativistic γ-ray jets seen at the polar regions of galactic supermassive BHs (SMBHs). This leptonic cascade occurs in the spark gap region of a BH magnetosphere where the unscreened electric field parallel to the magnetic field is present; hence, it is affected by the magnetic field structure. A previous study explored the case of a thin accretion disk, representative of active galactic nuclei. Here we explore the case of a quasi-spherical gas distribution, as is expected to be present around the SMBH Sgr A* in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, for example. The properties and efficiency of the leptonic cascade are studied. The findings of our study and the implications for SMBH systems in various spectral and accretion states are discussed. The relationships and scalings derived from varying the mass of the BH and background photon spectra are further used to analyze the leptonic cascade process to power jets seen in astronomical observations. In particular, one finds the efficiency of the cascade in a quasi-spherical gas distribution peaks at the jet axis. Observationally, this should lead to a more prominent jet core, in contrast to the thin disk accretion case, where it peaks around the jet–disk interface. One also finds the spectrum of the background photons plays a key role. The cascade efficiency is maximum for a spectral index of 2, while harder and softer spectra lead to a less efficient cascade.
Robots and Artificial Intelligence in the Military.
Authors: Agarwala Nitin
Published: December 2023

The Fourth Industrial Revolution introduced numerous disruptive technologies that are changing human life faster than ever before. Right on its heel, the Fifth Industrial Revolution is introducing robotics using Artificial Intelligence aided by Machine Learning. While these are considered the future, the disruption caused by them is forcing changes in how we operate and perceive things. One such area is the ‘military’. Though Artificial Intelligence and robotics are being experimented with as a replacement for humans to de-risk their lives, they are found to be advantageous to reduce the cost of training, rations, supply and maintenance of personnel. They are thus receiving increasing investments for development and deployment. This in return is altering how warfighting is perceived and conducted. To ensure a smooth progression of humans with the numerous technological developments being made in the field of Artificial Intelligence, the article looks at the advances made in these fields for military applications that are improving their sustainability and control, the world over. In addition, to assist decision-makers, a broad-based roadmap for the use of Artificial Intelligence in the military is discussed.

Published: December 2023

BACKGROUND: Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world. Clopidogrel is one of the recommended therapies for it. Disturbances in the metabolic stages of clopidogrel, such as dysregulation of cytochrome p450 (CYP450) and cytochrome P450 2C19 (CYP2C19), can cause unresponsiveness or resistance. However, studies on clopidogrel resistance related to CYP450 and CYP2C19 in Indonesia are limited.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in two hospitals over a 1-year period. All patients had a minimum of one episode of ischemic stroke. Data on demographics, clopidogrel resistance, CYP450 concentration, and CYP2C19 polymorphism were collected. In total, 112 participants were enrolled in this study.
RESULTS: We found that the incidence of clopidogrel resistance was 14.3% and the bleeding risk was high (40.3 %). The number of mutations in the CYP2C19 allele *17 was 96.0%. We also found that sex, hemoglobin, and CYP450 were significantly correlated with clopidogrel resistance, and with hemoglobin and CYP450 as independent factors. Fasting blood glucose and CYP2C19 allele *3 were independent factors for CYP450.
CONCLUSION: The incidence of clopidogrel resistance in the Indonesian population is low; therefore, it is not an urgent issue. An important issue in this population is the high risk for bleeding. Patient treatment should be adjusted by considering this risk.
Size spectra of the edaphic fauna of typical Argiudol soils of the Rolling Pampa Region, Argentina
Authors: Velazco Víctor , Sandler Rosana , Sanabria Maria Cynthia Valeria , Falco Liliana , Coviella Carlos , Saravia Leonardo
Published: December 2023

Soil-dwelling organisms populate the spaces—referred to as interstices—between the litter on the soil surface and the pores in the soil's organo-mineral matrix. These organisms have pivotal roles in soil ecosystem functions, such as the breakdown and decomposition of organic matter, the dispersal of bacterial and fungal spores and biological habitat transformation. These functions, in turn, contribute to broader ecosystem services like carbon and nutrient cycling, soil organic matter regulation and both chemical and physical soil fertility.

This study provides morphological data pertaining to a range of soil organism sizes, specifically in Argiudol soils subjected to varying levels of agricultural activity in the Rolling Pampas Region, one of the world's most extensive and fertile plains.

The primary focus is on soil microarthropods—namely, Acari (mites) and Collembola (springtails)—with a body width of less than 2 mm. These organisms constitute the majority of life in the intricate soil pore network. Additionally, the study documents species of earthworms (Oligochaeta, Crassiclitelata), recognised as ecosystem engineers for their ability to create physical channels in the soil matrix and to distribute organic matter. Moreover, the study includes measurements of morphological traits of soil-dwelling "macrofauna" (organisms with a body width greater than 2 mm), which are also implicated in various soil ecosystem functions. These include population regulation by apex predators, organic matter decomposition, biogenic structure formation, nutrient mobilisation and herbivory.

In this paper, we report both the geographical locations and individual measurements of key morphological traits for over 7,000 specimens, covering a range of soil-dwelling organisms. These include springtails (Entognatha, Collembola), mites (Arachnida, Acari), earthworms (Oligochaeta, Crassiclitellata) and additional soil macrofauna. All specimens were collected from typical Argiudol soils located in three distinct agricultural systems characterised by varying levels of land-use intensity. To our knowledge, no other dataset exists providing this information for the Argentinian Pampas.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and breast cancer accounts for 6.27 million cases in the year 2022. In the present study, Quantitative Structural Activity Relationship (QSAR) studies were performed on a dataset of 39 molecules of Imidazolinone analogues using in random selection using QSARINS Software. The statistically validated (R2 = 0.8429 Q2loo = 0.7558) MLR model was used to predict the bioactivity of novel leads. Moreover, high-scoring compounds were exposed to molecular docking and molecular dynamic modeling study. Intended derivatives 1–23 exhibited the anticipated bioactivity using a QSAR model. Aforementioned molecules were tested for binding affinities with the target protein and the majority of them demonstrated excellent interactions with binding pocket residues. Molecular dynamics simulations using Desmond for 100 ns of top complexes 1, 7, 9, 13 and 19 showed critical structural data concerning Aurora kinase inhibition. There were stable hydrophobic and hydrophilic interfaces in the dynamic site of compounds with a leading chemical structure. The chemical interacts to the (PDB: 1MQ4) structure in a stable way, according to RMSD, RMSF, RoG, H-bond, and SASA analysis. Furthermore, the docking results have been confirmed by MM-PBSA and MM-GBSA. Based on our findings, we reported the inclusion of the necessary structural features of imidazolinone derivatives leads to the development of the potent candidates for further development.

This article reviews the development of the practice standards, and presents the philosophies and values which underpin holistic nursing. Certification in the speciality is awarded through the American's Holistic Nurses' Certification Corporation (AHNCC) to nurses able to demonstrate knowledge and skills described in the Standards. The relationship between holistic nursing practice and complementary and alternative modalities is discussed.
Nursing Doctoral Education in the United Kingdom and Ireland
Authors: McKenna Hugh , Cutcliffe John
Published: December 2023

Nurses have been able to pursue doctoral study in the United States for decades. Nursing has only recently been integrated into the university setting in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and Ireland. Prior to this a small number of nurses registered for doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in departments of education, sociology or psychology. In the last 10 years, nursing in Europe witnessed a large increase in the number of nurses pursuing doctoral study. Many of these are now being mentored in university schools of nursing and are undertaking research of direct relevance to nursing. Another interesting trend is the introduction of professional doctorates. This professional doctorate, the Doctorate of Nursing Science, includes lectures, course work and examinations, in contrast to the traditional U.K. Ph.D. earned by a thesis or published work. This paper explores the emergence of these different types of doctoral degrees, discusses some reasons why they are flourishing, and describes the differences between them.
Legal Considerations for Nurses Practicing in a Telehealth Setting
Authors: Hutcherson Carolyn
Published: December 2023

During the last century the world has become increasingly reliant on a variety of technologies to manage information needs. Escalation in deployment of remote technology to enhance health care, accompanied by expanded public and private reimbursement for distant care, indicates increasing acceptance of these technologies. Yet many legal and regulatory questions regarding the provision of health care using these technologies remain. This article will discuss the foundations of telehealth nursing and address legal and regulatory issues emerging from this new practice modality.
Education for Entry into Nursing Practice: Revisited for the 21st Century
Authors: Joel Lucille
Published: December 2023

Professions progress through an expected evolutionary process. This consists of expanding the scientific base, creating technical workers to share in the essential mission of the field, standardizing and up-grading education for entry into practice, and moving forward with specialization. Nursing's progression has been spotty and incomplete, largely because of the influence of external communities of interest, and the fact that nurses have resisted and personalized decisions that are necessary for future generations. For nursing, education for entry into practice has been the most contentious issue in this scheme of professional evolution. For almost 100 years, nurses have debated "entry", but moved to little planned change. Rather, nursing has been swept along by a host of social and educational circumstances that had little to do with nursing. The result has been a myriad of programs with graduates used interchangeably in the real world. This absence of consensus within the discipline of nursing causes consumer confusion, seriously compromises our ability to serve the public, and is intimately associated with the nursing shortage of 2002. What is adequate educational preparation for entry into professional practice for the 21st Century? Agreement on this issue is an essential step towards a preferred future. This paper is intended to raise issues, and to stimulate discussion around these issues, rather than to provide answers.
L’explosion du désir chez un adolescent et la honte qui le consume
Authors: Tyminski Robert , Braun Sophie
Published: December 2023

L’adolescence brûle
Authors: López Cánovas Francisco J. , Lacour Laurence
Published: December 2023

L’article présente une synthèse des symptômes les plus fréquents, ayant amené les adolescents à consulter dans la période post-pandémique au COVID-19. À partir de ces symptômes, l’auteur mène une réflexion autour de l’image du feu comme métaphore de l’état actuel du psychisme adolescent, qui consume la matière vivante et la transforme en cendres, et qui est de surcroît contagieux par contact, à travers des dynamiques culturelles que l’article tente de mettre en évidence. La pratique de la relation analytique avec les adolescents peut être enrichie par la prise de conscience et l’approfondissement de ces dynamiques culturelles, de leurs mécanismes et leurs modalités d’exercice et par la proposition d’une attitude en consultation qui les prenne en compte, favorisant ainsi le processus d’individuation de l’adolescent.
Du feu au lac, une lecture symbolique des rêves de Dora
Authors: Lauté Yann
Published: December 2023

Au-delà des interprétations psychanalytiques classiques, une lecture jungienne du cas Dora, s’appuyant en particulier sur les deux rêves mis à l’honneur, permet de mettre en évidence le processus d’individuation à l’œuvre chez cette adolescente devenant jeune adulte, à un moment critique de sa vie de femme. Les principaux archétypes (animus, ombre et soi) servent de boussole au travail du psychanalyste afin de déterminer ce qui, de l’inconscient s’exprimant sous forme de symboles oniriques individuels et/ou collectifs, voire de synchronicités, gagnerait à être intégré par le moi en vue d’une harmonisation psychique et existentielle.
Le feu sacré, quand il brûle
Authors: Vienne Brigitte
Published: December 2023

Le feu sacré peut détruire comme le feu physique et amener à des dérives mortifères individuellement et socialement. Les feux de l’enfer brûlèrent les hérétiques et les sorcières et de façon plus générale, les dérives possibles du feu de l’enthousiasme risquent d’aboutir à une possession par laquelle l’individu peut brûler ses vaisseaux et les drapeaux et effigies qu’il avait adorés. L’attachement exclusif et inflexible à un objet spécifique ou à une structure de pensée brûle, tout comme les formes radicales, excessives, inadaptées ou extrêmes de cultes et de croyances. L’impossibilité de toute compréhension symbolique évite la confrontation à l’ombre, ce qui empêche l’accès à la capacité transformatrice du contact archétypal du feu sacré et barre la voie au processus d’individuation.
Éthique institutionnelle et relation archaïque
Authors: Elias Nicolas
Published: December 2023

À partir des travaux d’Erich Neumann sur la relation archaïque et d’Edgar Morin sur la notion complexe d’éthique, l’auteur considère les réponses de l’institution à la dépendance du patient selon qu’elle peut ou non interroger son ombre institutionnelle, ainsi que sa propre immaturité.
Les études bibliques pourraient-elles bénéficier des nouveaux concepts des sciences naturelles ? Le cas des théologies de la conservation-restauration
Authors: Mukaminega Jeanine
Published: December 2023

En ce début du xxi e  siècle, les théories et les débats sur les évolutions de l’humain et de ses sociétés sous le dictat du virtuel et du numérique fleurissent. On parle même de projet de posthumanité. Dans le même temps, les études critiques de la Bible s’essoufflent et se figent dans une forme d’intellectualisme alors que le lecteur croyant, quand il n’est pas pris en otage par les gourous, est de plus en plus désorienté par l’écart entre le vécu journalier et les représentations de l’univers spirituel dont il a hérité. Dans cet article, Jeanine Mukaminega part d’une intuition inspirée de deux innovateurs : Spinoza (1632-1677) qui tenta de rendre l’Écriture, matrice des représentations, à la liberté de la pensée, et Penrose (1931-) dont la théorie unifie le monde des sciences naturelles et celui de l’esprit humain. À travers une reprise des théologies bibliques de la conservation-restauration portées par les motifs mythiques du règne divin et des rois de filiation divine, l’auteure introduit les vieux concepts philosophiques de conscience, de mémoire et de structure dans le questionnement herméneutique du bibliste. En trois étapes, elle tente de lire le mythe du règne divin à l’aune de ces concepts revus par la physique, la neurologie et la biologie moléculaire. L’interrogation porte sur les réalités matérielle, structurale et procédurale convoquées par le mythe : l’univers du mythe biblique peut-il être soumis à l’investigation faisant appel aux nouveaux concepts qui redessinent notre perception de l’univers ?
Examining Workplace Practices Used to Facilitate Successful Integration of Internationally Educated Nurses Into Acute Care Settings: A Scoping Review
Authors: Njie-Mokonya Ndolo , Montoya Lorraine , Abebe Natania , Shorr Risa
Published: December 2023

Background:

Although the recruitment of internationally educated nurses (IENs) seems to be an effective strategy to sustain a diversified nursing workforce, challenges with transition to practice continue to be documented in the literature. Prelicensure bridging programs purport to facilitate practice readiness; however, IENs who complete these programs also experience difficulties. Little is known about tailored workplace-based bridging programs. This scoping review maps out our current understanding of IEN integration and education strategies implemented within acute care settings and identifies areas for further research.

Method:

Arksey and O'Malley's (
2005
) five-step scoping review was used to explore current literature and highlight gaps based on the needs of IENs during transition into acute care.

Results:

Two themes were identified: the need for tailored clinical practice bridging programs within acute care settings and the impact of corporate involvement and social structures on IEN integration.

Conclusion:

Inconsistencies in IEN integration practices point to the significance of implementing tailored, workplace-based bridging programs to ensure safe and full scope of practice.
