Authors: Samajdar Shambo S , Mukherjee Shatavisa , Husain Noor , Sarkar Sougata , Sen Sumalya
Published: January 2025

Background:

Evaluation of patient referrals, treatments, and satisfaction may help to gain insight into the usefulness of clinical pharmacology consultations in meeting patients’ different healthcare needs. The present study aimed to investigate how clinical pharmacology consultation affects patient care, including its effects on patient outcomes, satisfaction, and the management of treatment-emergent adverse events and the role of clinical pharmacology consultation clinics in modern healthcare.

Materials and Methods:

This prospective observational study included patients visiting a clinical pharmacology clinic. Data were collected on demographic information, referral sources, reason for consultation, and patient satisfaction survey (PSS) score. Data were statistically analyzed.

Results:

A total of 224 participants were enrolled. The primary motivation for seeking clinical pharmacology consultations was varied, with the most common reason being the need to address issues related to polypharmacy (21.4%). This was followed by concerns about glycemic fluctuations (11.2%), eligibility for coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination in the context of multiple drug allergies (10.7%), and the evaluation of drug rashes (10.3%). The initial PSS score was 65.38% at baseline, which increased to the overall mean PSS score of 69.42%. However, a weak correlation between follow-up visit latency and PSS change (r = 0.351). One of the most notable findings was the significant clinical improvement observed in 95% of cases.

Conclusion:

The role of clinical pharmacology is indispensable, particularly in an era where medication regimens are becoming increasingly complex. Our study advocates for policy changes that support the growth of clinical pharmacology through strategic education and training initiatives, ensuring the discipline continues to improve patient care and medication safety.

Authors: Saha Sangita , Dey Samit , Rana Abhijit , Chakraborty Kalyan , Bhattacharyya Pujashree , Mukherjee Sudeshna , Paul Amitava , Mukherjee Shyamal Kumar
Published: January 2025

Background:

Biomedical waste management (BMWM) is a multifaceted approach and an integral part of healthcare, ensuring the safety of the patients, staff, and environment.

Objective:

In this cross-sectional study, the impact of a BMWM training program, including both theoretical and hands-on sessions, was assessed by pre-post comparison on the knowledge and attitude scores of the participants at D. N. De Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital.

Materials and Methods:

A questionnaire was designed for the purpose, and the responses were collected through Google Forms. The predictors of knowledge and attitude scores were identified using standard multiple regression models. The questionnaire was examined for its psychometric validity and reliability.

Results:

Out of the 183 participants, 145 pre- and post-responses were compared. The mean age of the respondents was 29.2 years, with the majority being males (58.6%), postgraduate trainees (38.6%), graduates (69.7%), and without previous training (87.6%). The training significantly increased the knowledge score (mean increase: 1.9, 95% CI: 1.4 to 2.4, P < 0.001). However, the increase in the attitude score was statistically non-significant (mean increase: 0.2, 95% CI: −0.8 to 1.2, P = 0.691). Professional rank (β = 0.278, P = 0.004) and attitude change from baseline (β = 0.223, P = 0.007) were the predictors of knowledge score, whereas knowledge change from baseline (β = 0.238, P = 0.007) was the predictor of attitude score. The questionnaire demonstrated acceptable validity and reliability statistics.

Conclusion:

The BMWM training program was effective in significantly increasing the knowledge score of the participants. Uptake of similar training programs regularly is warranted.

Published: January 2025

Introduction:

This study was conducted to estimate the magnitude and associated factors of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome amongst undergraduates of a rural medical college in Haryana, India.

Materials and Methods:

This institution-based study was conducted amongst randomly selected 362 medical undergraduates. Diagnosis of PCOS was based on Rotterdam criteria. The data were collected on a pre-tested semi-structured pro forma, and blood samples from all participants were collected to assess biochemical evidence of hyperandrogenism. Analysis was done using software R, version 4.2.1.

Results:

The proportion of PCOS was 15.2%. A significant association was found between lifestyle factors (obesity, lack of physical activity and diet) and PCOS. Multiple logistic regression analysis shows that irregular menses, hirsutism, raised testosterone and raised dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate remained significant predictors of PCOS.

Conclusion:

PCOS screening amongst female medical undergraduates could provide an opportunity to target the group for promoting healthy lifestyles and early interventions.
Control theorems for Hilbert modular varieties
Authors: Sheth Arshay
Published: January 2025

We prove an exact control theorem, in the sense of Hida theory, for the ordinary part of the middle degree étale cohomology of certain Hilbert modular varieties, after localizing at a suitable maximal ideal of the Hecke algebra. Our method of proof builds upon the techniques introduced by Loeffler–Rockwood–Zerbes (2023, Spherical varieties and p-adic families of cohomology classes); another important ingredient in our proof is the recent work of Caraiani–Tamiozzo (2023, Compositio Mathematica 159, 2279–2325) on the vanishing of the étale cohomology of Hilbert modular varieties with torsion coefficients outside the middle degree. This work will be used in forthcoming work of the author to show that the Asai–Flach Euler system corresponding to a quadratic Hilbert modular form varies in Hida families.
Mezi filosofií a medicínou. Ke Kantovu překonání karteziánského dualismu mysli a těla
Authors: Pech Robin
Published: January 2025

The aim of the study is to show that one of the essential motifs of Kant’s critical philosophy is the issue of human health. Its starting point is therefore Kant’s reflections in the Metaphysics of Morals (1797) and the Conflict of the Faculties (1798), where Kant presented his concept of so-called “universal medicine,” which focuses on the problem of a healthy regimen. Since its basic assumption is that the body and mind of a person, however different they might be, are mutually connected so that the diseases of the body can be cured by way of the mind, it is the author’s interpretation that this concept is a peculiar attempt to overcome the substantive dualism of mind and body seen in Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy (1641). At the same time, however, Kant follows on from what Descartes himself attempted.

Reestruturação Territorial no Vale do Paraopeba
Authors: F. Rocha Maia Mateus , Barcellos de Souza Gisela
Published: January 2025

O rio Paraopeba, afluente do São Francisco, desempenhou um papel fundamental nas expedições paulistas pelas futuras terras de Minas Gerais nas últimas décadas do século XVII. Inicialmente, a região do médio Paraopeba foi alvo da busca pelo ouro, mas desenvolveu um caráter agropecuário em parte do período colonial e imperial. No entanto, no início do século XX, a construção da Variante do Paraopeba pela Estrada de Ferro Central do Brasil (EFCB) transformou a dinâmica do território, que antes funcionava fora do controle direto das administrações centrais. Com base na visão holística do território de Saverio Muratori (1967), este estudo reavalia os efeitos da ferrovia na reversão das estruturas de longa duração observadas em duas cachoeiras deste rio e em ruínas presentes na paisagem. São analisados a rota de exploração (1670-1690) e quatro períodos morfológicos distintos: a colonização inicial (1690–1730), a distribuição de sesmarias (1730–1810), a estagnação e transição para a mineração de ferro (1810–1910) e a era ferroviária (1910–1940). Nos anos que se seguiram, enquanto a ocupação do fundo de vale era incentivada, os empreendimentos mineradores se estabeleceram em cotas superiores. Essa dupla condição estrutura parte dos dilemas entre as ocupações e o avanço da mineração na contemporaneidade.
Astrocyte plasticity shapes brain metastasis progression through tumor-astrocyte crosstalk
Authors: Kaur Rupleen , Gupta Nalin , Dhawan Andrew
Published: January 2025

Brain metastases are ten times more common than primary brain tumors and pose a significant clinical challenge. How brain metastatic tumor cells adapt to the unique and hostile brain microenvironment remains unclear. Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cells in the brain, are emerging as key mediators regulating the development of brain metastases. Initially anti-metastatic, astrocytes are reprogrammed by tumor-derived signals, transitioning into a pro-metastatic phenotype. Here, we review the roles of astrocytes in brain metastasis and describe the evidence for their phenotypic plasticity, the basis of astrocyte-tumor interactions, and potential therapeutic strategies targeting these processes.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Online mobile gaming in Indonesia is growing rapidly, driving purchase intention towards premium features such as virtual items and exclusive in-game access. This study aims to analyse online mobile game addiction on mobile app feature purchase intention. This type of research uses a quantitative approach, with 426 respondents through an online survey and analysed using Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that addiction has a significant impact on loyalty and purchase intention, while loyalty has no impact on purchase intention, as well as satisfaction on loyalty, and addiction weakens the relationship between satisfaction and loyalty. This study makes an important contribution to understanding the dynamics of online game addiction, player loyalty, and purchase intention of app features in the context of the mobile game market in Indonesia.

Authors:   , Coelho Lucilene Maciel
Published: January 2025

A educação é a base fundamental para o avanço da sociedade. Nesse cenário, torna-se crucial analisar se os recursos públicos destinados a área educacional estão sendo empregados de maneira eficiente. A maneira que esses investimentos são aplicados influencia diretamente a qualidade da educação, o que pode, por sua vez, promove o desenvolvimento econômico e social da população. Com o objetivo principal de analisar a eficiência técnica dos gastos públicos em educação nos municípios do estado do Amazonas, com foco nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. Este estudo mensurou o índice de eficiência técnica educacional dos municípios amazonenses com base na Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA), tendo como variáveis os gastos públicos com educação no ensino fundamental, as notas do IDEB dos anos de 2015, 2017 e 2019 e a relação aluno/professor. A análise referenciou os anos de 2016, 2017, 2018 e 2019 com o objetivo de analisar o comportamento educacional dos municípios por um período de 4 anos. Os resultados indicaram que os municípios com maior capital de investimento nem sempre apresentam maiores índices de eficiência em relação aos outros municípios com menor capital de investimento, com isso evidenciou-se que não é a quantidade de recursos que estipula o desempenho educacional, e sim a forma como esses recursos são aplicados. Palavras-chave: educação;; gastos públicos;; eficiência;; análise envoltória de dados.

SIMULATION OF POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE AND HEXAMINE SUBLIMATION WITH HIGH TEMPERATURE NITROGEN IN AN AXISYMMETRICAL FORMULATION
Authors: BEDAREV I.A. , TEMERBEKOV V.M.
Published: January 2025

A computational technique has been created for modeling the sublimation of solid material in a high-temperature gas flow. The mathematical model and numerical algorithm have been verified using experimental data on the sublimation of hexamine at different gas temperatures at the reactor inlet. It is shown that the curvature of the sublimation front, on the one hand, is due to the presence of a boundary layer on the channel wall, and on the other hand, it can occur when heat transfer is intensified due to a decrease in the initial diameter of hexamine particles in the backfill. Parametric calculations of the dynamics of flow in a porous medium during the sublimation of polymethyl methacrylate and hexamine were performed. It is shown that different types of boundary conditions lead to different dynamics of the temperature behavior at the channel outlet.

Authors: USIK M.O. , KUZMIN D.A. , BYCHKOV I.V. , SHAVROV V.G.
Published: January 2025

In this work we theoretically analyze the electromagnetic behavior of graphene-based metasurface, consisting on arranged array of graphene stripes, under attenuated total reflection conditions. We investigate surface plasmon-polaritons excitation at terahertz and sub-terahertz frequencies. We show that surface plasmon-polaritons may be excited in the metasurface for some orientation with respect to incident wave plane. Effectivity of surface plasmon-polaritons excitation depends on graphene chemical potential and graphene stripes width. We believe that our results open a new road for graphene metasurface based terahertz devices, such as modulators.

Published: January 2025

A queilite actínica é uma desordem oral potencialmente maligna, que afeta principalmente o lábio inferior, devido a exposição crônica e excessiva à radiação ultravioleta. Um paciente do sexo masculino, 61 anos, se apresentou à clínica universitária com úlceras no lábio inferior que não cicatrizavam. Ao exame físico extra-bucal, observou-se a presença de áreas de descamação no lábio inferior, ulceradas e esbranquiçadas, com descamação, sugerindo a queilite actínica. Procedeu-se à biopsia incisional e, de acordo com a análise histopatológica, constatou-se a presença de uma mucosa bucal constituída por epitélio estratificado pavimentoso paraqueratinizado, com áreas de transformação basofílica do colágeno, confirmando o diagnóstico de queilite actínica. O paciente foi orientado acerca da proteção contra a exposição solar e está em acompanhamento, sem sinais de recidiva. Este caso clínico reforça a importância do diagnóstico precoce da queilite actínica, assim como da orientação à população sobre esta patologia, visto que antecede a progressão para o carcinoma espinocelular de lábio.

Authors: Yazid Jheffany , Rajab Azliha Minai , Suhaimi Aisyahton
Published: January 2025

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to healthcare systems globally, particularly to healthcare workers, with nurses being at the frontline of patient care. In Malaysia, public hospital nurses were tasked with managing the surge in COVID-19 cases, placing them under significant physical, emotional, and professional strain. This phenomenological study explores the lived experiences and responses of 27 public hospital nurses who directly managed COVID-19 patients. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, with thematic analysis employed to identify key patterns and themes in the responses. The findings reveal three primary themes: emotional responses to the pandemic, challenges in caregiving, and coping strategies. The nurses reported significant fear and anxiety, particularly concerning the risks to their health and the potential to transmit the virus to their families. Despite these fears, they also demonstrated remarkable resilience and commitment to their professional roles. Challenges in caregiving, including resource shortages such as inadequate personal protective equipment (PPE) and ventilators, were also highlighted. Nurses also relied heavily on teamwork and personal coping strategies, such as prayer and family support, to manage the emotional toll of the crisis. These findings underscore the duality of fear and resilience among nurses and highlight the need for enhanced mental health support, adequate resources, and improved crisis preparedness in healthcare systems to better support frontline workers during future health emergencies.

The Squeaky Wheel and the Silent Child: Unraveling the Comprehensive Emotional Demand Theory for Understanding Parental Response Dynamics
Authors: Zhang Yinan
Published: January 2025

This study introduces the Comprehensive Emotional Demand Theory (CEDT) to explore the psychological mechanisms behind the adage "The squeaky wheel gets the grease, but the quiet child is unloved." While previous research has demonstrated the connection between explicit emotional needs, such as crying, and heightened parental attention, a significant gap exists in understanding why implicit emotional needs, like obedience, are often overlooked. By integrating the Needs-Response Model, Resource Allocation and Attention Economics, and Social Reinforcement and Behavior Shaping theories, this study offers a novel framework to address this issue. The innovation of this research lies in its application of Attention Economics to analyze how parents, constrained by limited resources, tend to prioritize responding to more apparent needs, thus inadvertently neglecting the fulfillment of quieter, implicit needs. Through theoretical analysis and hypothesis testing, the study reveals how explicit emotional needs are positively reinforced over time, leading to their persistence, while implicit needs gradually diminish due to a lack of response. This research not only fills a critical gap in the literature but also provides practical insights for optimizing family education and social policies, and sets the stage for future cross-cultural and longitudinal research, enhancing both its academic significance and practical relevance.
Effectiveness of the Flipped Classroom Learning Model in Improving Students' Mathematical Reasoning Abilities in the Application of School Mathematics Course
Authors: Novianti Idha
Published: January 2025

This research aims to measure the effectiveness of the flipped classroom learning model in improving students' mathematical reasoning abilities in the Application of School Mathematics course at the Universitas Terbuka. The research method used was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 60 students, who were divided into two groups: an experimental group that used the flipped classroom (n=30) and a control group that used the conventional method (n=30). The results of data analysis show that the average score of students' mathematical reasoning ability in the experimental group increased from 58.2 (SD = 8.7) in the pretest to 81.4 (SD = 7.2) in the posttest, with an average increase (N -gain) of 0.64 which is included in the medium category. In contrast, the control group experienced an increase from 57.6 (SD = 9.1) to 70.3 (SD = 8.5), with an N-gain of 0.38 which is in the low category. The t test showed that the increase in mathematical reasoning ability in the experimental group was significantly higher than in the control group (t = 4.12, p < 0.001). These results indicate that the flipped classroom is an effective learning model in improving students' mathematical reasoning abilities. These findings provide an important contribution to the development of distance learning, especially at the Universitas Terbuka. This research recommends implementing the flipped classroom integrated with active learning strategies for other courses in mathematics education programs.
Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Measurement Invariance of the Perception of Partner Psychological Abuse (PPPA) in Nigeria and South Africa
Authors: Fakunmoju Sunday B.
Published: January 2025

Purpose: Examining the psychometric properties of a research scale is a critical step in ensuring its reliability and validity. This study evaluates the psychometric properties of the Perception of Partner Psychological Abuse (PPPA) scale, developed to assess individuals' perceptions of psychologically abusive behaviors in intimate relationships, in Nigeria and South Africa. Methods: The study involved participants (N = 823) who were predominantly Black (African) (98.5%), with females (n = 452, 54.9%) and males (n = 371, 45.1%) from Nigeria (n = 291) and South Africa (n = 532). Various confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models were used to assess the scale's factor structure and dimensionality. Measurement invariance procedures were employed to evaluate the equivalence of the factor structure across gender and country. Construct validity, including both convergent and discriminant validity, was also examined. Results: Findings indicated that the PPPA scale is appropriate for measuring perceptions of partner psychological abuse. The scale demonstrated adequate convergent and discriminant validity, and composite reliability showed good internal consistency. The hypothesized four-factor structure aligned well with the data, with observed variables collectively and individually contributing to the overall construct and subconstructs. The factor structure was consistent across genders and countries, confirming the scale's multidimensionality. Differences in the perception of partner psychological abuse were observed between the two countries. Conclusions: This study validates the psychometric properties of the PPPA scale, emphasizing the relevance of power dynamics and economic disparities in shaping perceptions of partner psychological abuse. It reinforces the scale's value as a tool for recognizing and addressing psychological abuse in intimate relationships.

Furthermore, the Banach fixed point theorem, established in pursuance of the same metric, is employed to determine the existence and uniqueness of the solution to an integral equation.
Memorial Museums
Authors: Williams Paul
Published: January 2025

The past 25 years has seen an extraordinary boom in a new kind of cultural complex: the memorial museum. These seek to research, represent, commemorate and teach on the subject of dreadful, violent histories. With World War and Holocaust memorials as precursors, the kinds of events now recognized include genocide in Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda and the Balkans, state repression in Eastern Europe, apartheid in South Africa, terrorism in the United States, political “disappearances” in Chile and Argentina, massacres in China and Taiwan, and more.

This book is the first of its kind to “map” these new institutions and cultural spaces, which, although varying widely in size, style and political situation, are nonetheless united in their desire to promote peace, tolerance and the avoidance of future violence. Moving across nations and contexts, Memorial Museums critically analyzes the tactics of these institutions and gauges their wider public significance.
Exhibiting Antonio Canova
Authors: Ferando Christina
Published: January 2025

Exhibiting Antonio Canova: Display and the Transformation of Sculptural Theory argues that the display of Canova’s sculptures in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries acted as a catalyst for discourse across a broad range of subjects. By enshrining his marble figures alongside plaster casts of ancient works, bathing them in candlelight, staining and waxing their surfaces, and even setting them in motion on rotating bases, Canova engaged viewers intellectually, physically, and emotionally. These displays inspired discussions on topics as diverse as originality and artistic production, the association between the sculptural surface, flesh, and anatomy, the relationship between painting and sculpture, and the role of public museums. Beholders’ discussions also shaped the legacy of important sculptural theories. They helped usher in their modern definitions and created the lenses through which we experience and interpret works of art, establishing modern attitudes not just towards sculpture, but towards cultural patrimony in general.
Metaphor, version 2
Authors: Di Biase - Dyson Camilla
Published: January 2025

Metaphors are tropes driven by similarity relations that appear in texts, script, images, and even objects from ancient Egypt. When tracing the disciplinary and thematic development of metaphor studies in Egyptology, what can be seen is a change from a typological perspective, which sought to categorize both motifs and metaphor types, to a cognitive perspective, which was more interested in the processes behind the linguistic phenomena. Recently, there has also been increased interest in the development of metaphors in textual and multimodal perspective, and in the usage of metaphors across various media.
A study on the wordization of new standard words: focused on the selected words of 2023
Authors:   Morphology, Jeong Handero
Published: January 2025

This paper focuses on the phenomenon of wordization in the headwords of the Standard Dictionary and Woorimalsaem dictionaries, as observed in the new standard words selected in 2023, and explores several related questions. First, by comparing the wordized standard words with related vocabulary entries in the dictionary, the study seeks to explore the criteria for determining wordization. Although the study began with an interest in the wordization of new standard words, the discussion was expanded to broader topics, such as the clear distinction between normative grammar (or dictionary) and academic grammar (descriptive grammar and theoretical grammar), as well as the researcher’s attitude towards these distinctions. It is important to clearly recognize the layers of normative grammar and academic grammar, and to carefully examine and utilize the relevant materials according to each level. Particularly, research reports that describe non-standard words, such as neologisms, may be the result of internal guidelines followed by specific researchers or research teams. Since they do not belong to rigorously managed normative grammar, more precise verification is required in academic grammar studies.

Jurnal ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji perubahan zaman di tengah masyarakat, serta tantangan  dan strategi yang perlu diterapkan untuk menanamkan nilai nilai pancasila pada generasi yang akan dating.
REDCLAW CRAYFISH (Cherax quadricarinatus): DISTRIBUTION, CRAYFISH PLAGUE, AND DIAGNOSTIC APPROACHES - A REVIEW
Authors: Victor Shekinah Shamini , Abdul Kadir Pahirulzaman Khomaizon
Published: January 2025

The crayfish plague, caused by Aphanomyces astaci, represents a serious threat to redclaw crayfish populations in Malaysia. This review examines the distribution of redclaw crayfish, the incidence of crayfish plague, and insights into its diagnosis. Previous research has established that A. astaci is the primary agent behind crayfish plague in both Asia and Europe. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of these biological threats, including A. astaci and other infections, is vital for protecting the redclaw crayfish industry. Implementing effective diagnosis and management strategies is crucial for preserving crayfish populations and ensuring the industry's sustainability. It is important to recognize that fungal plagues, like those caused by A. astaci, often show few symptoms until significant mortality occurs. Additional research is necessary to grasp the complex immune system of crayfish and to investigate potential therapeutic measures for managing inflammation. Collaboration and data sharing among researchers studying crayfish across different regions would significantly enhance progress in this field.
La modificación del nivel asistencial de la protección por desempleo en el Real Decreto-Ley 2/2024
Authors: Álvarez Cortés Juan Carlos
Published: January 2025

En el presente trabajo se analiza las modificaciones producidas por el Real Decreto-Ley 2/2024, de 21 de mayo, en el nivel asistencial de la protección por desempleo con el objeto de simplificar y mejorar su gestión, llegándose a la conclusión de que, si la simplificación suponía reducir el número de tipos de subsidios, lo cierto es que no ha habido mucho acierto en la nueva regulación. En cambio, sí se han producido algunas mejoras interesantes, tanto en el contenido de los derechos como en la gestión de las prestaciones. Nos centramos en el análisis de los subsidios «comunes» del artículo 274 de la Ley general de la Seguridad Social.
De vuelta con el esquirolaje interno
Authors: Alemañ Cano Jaime
Published: January 2025

El Tribunal Supremo, en la Sentencia 1199/2024, de 16 de octubre, ha venido a recordar, nuevamente, la importancia que desempeña en nuestro ordenamiento el ejercicio de derecho de huelga como derecho fundamental. Al mismo tiempo, y en el contexto del expresado derecho, el Tribunal de Casación ha centrado la atención en el esquirolaje, y, dentro de él, en el llamado «esquirolaje interno» o «sustitución interna de personas trabajadoras». Afirma el órgano judicial que, salvo en dos supuestos previstos en la ley (aseguramiento de determinados servicios mínimos esenciales para la comunidad y atención a los servicios de seguridad y de mantenimiento en la empresa), la organización empresarial no está legitimada para tal sustitución.
La encrucijada del derecho a una protección social adecuada por desempleo más allá de las emergencias: entre suficiencia prestacional y eficiencia para el retorno al mercado de trabajo
Authors: Molina Navarrete Cristóbal
Published: January 2025

El Real Decreto-Ley 2/2024, de 21 de mayo, introdujo notables reformas en el nivel asistencial de protección por desempleo, buena parte de las cuales han entrado en vigor a principios del mes de noviembre de 2024. Aunque bastantes cambios deben valorarse positivamente, la reforma, muy atormentada en su elaboración, es claramente insuficiente y mantiene notables disfunciones. Además, aunque el nivel contributivo de protección por desempleo también presenta deficiencias muy notables, la ley dejó fuera de su intervención este ámbito. El estudio expone, de forma crítica, los puntos más relevantes de la reforma asistencial, de un lado, e identifica varias deficiencias del nivel contributivo, proponiendo algunas correcciones, de otro. Finalmente, el autor postula adecuar la cuantía y la duración de las prestaciones por desempleo a los incumplidos imperativos de la Carta Social Europea.
A Quantum View of Shared and Collective Consciousness
Authors: Williams George R.
Published: January 2025

Here I develop a theoretical framework for understanding the notions of shared and collective consciousness. For this purpose, I focus on an interpretation of quantum mechanics that invokes an ontologically deeper ground and link this with reasoning from the philosophy of mind associated with Bertrand Russell, who provided reasons for holding that the intrinsic nature of matter is consciousness. The resulting framework supports the notion that our conscious experiences are rooted in an underlying substratum of nonlocal, yet aware potentiality and is consistent with a body of research on anomalous cognition and mind-matter interaction. Notions of shared and collective consciousness are then considered in the context of this framework. I characterize the nature of these with the terms coherence and self-organization. I then explore how these notions of shared and collective consciousness can be applied to facilitate greater connectedness, empathy, holism, within various types of groups and organizations.
