A iatrogenia médica está em pauta no mundo atual. Os novos parâmetros da medicina, caracterizada pela falta de tempo, pelo excesso de medicamentos, exames e procedimentos desnecessários, exigem cada vez mais uma abordagem humana e individualizada do paciente, como adotado pelo Movimento Slow Medicine. Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar, por meio de revisão da literatura científica mundial, a influência da Slow Medicine na minimização da iatrogenia médica durante o encontro clínico.. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura científica, cuja fonte de dados são estudos primários. A amostra final foi composta por 11 artigos, sendo 91% publicações internacionais. Observou-se uma tendência mundial na mudança dos paradigmas da medicina causada, principalmente, pelo excesso de diagnósticos e procedimentos que podem ser prejudiciais ao paciente. Paralelamente, observa-se o surgimento de novos movimentos, como o Slow Medicine, que defendem uma medicina sóbria, justa e respeitosa, focada na individualização do paciente. A difusão do movimento Slow Medicine é o primeiro passo para a diminuição da iatrogenia médica, pois conscientiza população e profissionais da saúde a respeito da necessidade de mudança.

Published: December 2023

Age and sex must be determined for forensic practise and medico-legal objectives. The mandible, which is the most heterogeneous bone in the skull and is frequently found intact, may be a key component in sex assessment. In this regard, the availability of a large number of antemortem orthopantomograms may be very beneficial in researching and creating standards that are population-specific for precise sex and age determination. Determining the value of different mandibular ramus linear and gonial angle measures as sex and age markers on digital panoramic pictures was the goal of the current investigation.

This retrospective study was conducted on 600 orthopantomogram of patients of both gender with age group of 18 to 50 years.

The selected JPEG images of the digital OPG’s were converted to PDF format and exported to Adobe Acrobat Reader software on an HP Laptop for assessment of linear and angular measurements. The parameters employed in the current study were projective ramus height (PRH), condylar ramus height (CNNRH), coronoid ramus height (CRRH), upper ramus breadth (URB), lower ramus breadth (LRB), bigonial width (BW) and gonial angle (GA).

The right PRH, CRRH, CNRH, URB, LRB and bigonial width were higher in males as compared to females similarly left PRH, CNRH, CRRH, URB were higher in males as compared to females with a statistically significant P value (0.001) It was concluded from the current study that various parameters, including the projective ramus height, minimum ramus breath, and coronoid ramus height, could be very helpful in determining gender.

Published: December 2023

Human myeloid leukemia cells (HL-60/S4) exposed to hyperosmotic stress with sucrose undergo dehydration and cell shrinkage. Interphase chromatin and mitotic chromosomes congeal, exhibiting altered phase separation (demixing) of chromatin proteins. To investigate changes in the transcriptome, we exposed HL-60/S4 cells to hyperosmotic sucrose stress (~600 milliOsmolar) for 30 and 60 minutes. We employed RNA-Seq of polyA mRNA to identify genes with increased or decreased transcript levels relative to untreated control cells (i.e., differential gene expression). These genes were examined for over-representation of Gene Ontology (GO) terms.  In stressed cells, multiple GO terms associated with transcription, translation, mitochondrial function and proteosome activity, as well as “replication-dependent histones”, were over-represented among genes with increased transcript levels; whereas, genes with decreased transcript levels were over-represented with transcription repressors. The transcriptome profiles of hyperosmotically-stressed cells suggest acquisition of cellular rebuilding, a futile homeostatic response, as these cells are ultimately doomed to a dehydrated death.

Authors: Fadaei Mohammad Ali , Mansoori Hosein , Abbasnezhad Tayebeh
Published: December 2023

Introduction: The main capital of any organization is its human resources(HR). Organizations invest substantial costs in attracting, retaining, and training individuals. Therefore, it is essential to identify and implement appropriate practices to preserve and enhance HR. Aging of employees is an inevitable phenomenon that poses challenges to all organizations, irrespective of specific geographical locations, because the employees will get old and leave the organization. This research aims to identify HR management practices for aging employees in public organizations in Jahrom City, Fars Province, Iran, in the year 2022.
 
Methods: This study utilizes meta-synthesis and Delphi methods to extract and identify management practices for aging HR. In the meta-synthesis section, the library method was used and community under study in the Delphi section included 28 academic (university professors with doctorate degrees in HR or organizational behavior) and organizational (senior managers and HR managers of public organizations in Jahrom) experts. The research tool used in the Delphi section was a questionnaire conducted in 3 rounds.
 
Results: Through the study of the sources using meta-synthesis method, a total of 79 organizational practices were identified, categorized into 11 main dimensions. After three rounds, a consensus was reached on 60 practices, organized into 9 main dimensions, and the Delphi rounds were concluded. In the final round, no new practices were suggested or removed. Due to the minimal differences in the Kendall coefficient among the different rounds, the Delphi rounds were concluded.
 
Conclusion: It is necessary to plan and implement all these practices in parallel and simultaneously. However, as the most crucial management measure is planning, there is a need for planning, coordination, and harmonization at the legislative, administrative, and recruitment levels. Implementing the proposed practices through organizational experts, HR managers, and the active participation of aging employees in implementing practical practices will lead to better execution.

Authors: Mesgarzadegan Mozhan , Hooshmand Tabassom , Akbari Pardis
Published: December 2023

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of plasma irradiation and other surface preparation methods on the microtensile bond strength of repaired resin composites.
Materials and Methods: Twenty molds of a universal nanohybrid composite were prepared, aged and subjected to thermocycling. The specimens were divided into 5 groups for surface preparations including, C (Control): application of GC G-Premio Bond (GP) only; SB: sandblasting with alumina and GP; SI: application of phosphoric acid etching, silane, and unfilled resin; RB: roughening by diamond bur, phosphoric acid etching and GP; PL: application of argon and atmosphere plasma and then GP. The specimens were repaired with the new resin composite, cut to 1mm2 beam, and then subjected to thermocycling. The microtensile bond strengths were measured using a universal testing machine. The failure modes were assessed with a stereomicroscope. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. The level of significance was α=0.05.
Results: The highest mean bond strength was found for the application of universal bonding GC GP in controls (26.62MPa) and the lowest average bond strength belonged to the SI groups (9.06MPa). The difference in the mean bond strength between the SI group and other groups was significant (P<0.05). The failure mode of specimens in all groups was predominantly adhesive.
Conclusion: The application of GP as an intermediate universal adhesive established a proper bond between the old and new resin composite. In addition, the plasma application and other surface preparation methods did not significantly improve the bond strength.
Świat bez Coubertina? Symulacje, hipotezy, projekcje
Authors: Lipiec Józef
Published: December 2023

W refleksji nad olimpizmem nie można pominąć Pierre’a de Coubertina, który zarysował organizacyjny i aksjologiczny horyzont olimpizmu. Z ponad stuletniej perspektywy czasowej możemy stwierdzić, że spośród wielu możliwych scenariuszy rozwoju sportu, zrealizowany został ten z ideą olimpijską w roli głównej. Celem podjętych rozważań jest jednak próba odpowiedzi na pytania: Jaki byłby świat i sport bez Coubertina? Czy przyszły globalny rozmach igrzysk był efektem działań koncepcyjno-organizatorskich Coubertina czy ekspresją potrzeb świata obiektywnego? Odpowiedzi na te pytania podejmowane będą przez pryzmat dwóch koncepcji: indywidualistycznej zakładającej, że motorem napędowym wszelkich procesów może być indywidualna inicjatywa ludzka oraz socjo-deterministycznej, w której podmioty jednostkowe są jedynie pionkami historycznej konieczności. Mając na uwadze odmienne społeczno-kulturowe warunki świata przełomu XIX i XX wieku i czasów współczesnych, do zasług Coubertina należy wdrożenie antycznej idei olimpijskiej w nowożytnych warunkach, wprowadzenie do sportu zasad etycznych dzięki edukacji olimpijskiej, internacjonalizacja lokalnej idei greckich igrzysk oraz organizacyjna forma Międzynarodowego Komitetu Olimpijskiego.

Published: December 2023

Zdalna realizacja wychowania fizycznego w czasie pandemii COVID-19 ze względu na specyfikę przedmiotu napotkała szczególne trudności. Celem badania było poznanie opinii nauczycieli wychowania fizycznego na temat nauczania przedmiotu na odległość, za realizację którego są odpowiedzialni. Wśród zalet zdalnego nauczania badani nauczyciele podkreślali stosowanie w praktyce nowoczesnych technologii (67,6%), łatwiejszą realizację treści Podstawy Programowej (PP) związanych z edukacją zdrowotną (34,2%), a dla 27% nauczycieli tryb edukacji zdalnej dał możliwość większej kontroli, jak i samodzielności uczniów. Spośród zaś wad badani wskazywali przede wszystkim brak możliwości monitorowania zarówno realizacji zadań w sposób prawidłowy (72,2%). Ponadto ograniczony kontakt z uczniami (61,9%), a także trudności w realizacji treści PP w zakresie rozwoju fizycznego i sprawności fizycznej (57,3%). Badana grupa nauczycieli wychowania fizycznego w większości dobrze zareagowała na zaistniałą sytuację kryzysową, wykorzystując swoją kreatywność, dostępne źródła, jak i możliwości multimedialne. Niewątpliwie sytuacja epidemiczna pokazała, jak wszechstronne powinno być przygotowanie nauczycieli do pracy we współczesnym systemie edukacji.

Authors: Kowalska Jolanta E. , Pędraszewska Barbara
Published: December 2023

Jednym z elementów wszechstronnego kształcenia jest wychowanie estetyczne, traktowane jako ogół świadomych oddziaływań na człowieka i jego działań w celu uwrażliwienia go na piękno, dobro i prawdę, a także osiągnięcia rozwoju aktywności twórczej, ekspresji i umiejętnego odbioru sztuki poprzez kontakt z różnymi jej dziedzinami. Sport dostarcza wielu emocji oraz inspiracji twórczych artystom, którzy mogą doświadczać tym samym podwójnych emocji – tych związanych z pięknem ciała i wysiłkiem sportowca, rywalizacją sportową, jak i wyrazem artystycznym w różnych dziedzinach sztuki, tj.: literatura, malarstwo, rzeźba, muzyka, film, czy współczesne formy audiowizualne. W artykule autorki podejmują próbę wskazania przykładów takiej inspiracji sportem u wybranych artystów w różnych dziedzinach sztuki, wskazując tym samym na znaczący związek sportu i sztuki we wszechstronnym rozwoju pięknego, wrażliwego na drugiego, człowieka.

Authors: Sagar Lalichetti , Maitra Sagar , Singh Sultan , Sairam Masina , Pavan Angara
Published: December 2023

Background: Improving the efficiency of nitrogen utilization in rice is vital for achieving significant crop yields with minimum harm to the environment. To tackle this challenge, various portable optical sensors and decision-support tools have been emerging in recent times. However, there is currently a lack of comprehensive assessment and comparison of these tools with different levels of fertilizer recommendation with and without additional supplementation of nano urea. Methods: The current study was carried out during the dry season of 2021 and 2022 at the P.G. Experimental Farm of Centurion University of Technology and Management. The investigated treatments encompassed the following: T1: Absolute control, T2: 90-45-45 (N-P2O5-K2O kg/ha), T3: 120-60-60 (RDF), T4: 150-75-75, T5: T2+NU @ 2 ml/L at panicle initiation, T6: T3+NU @ 2 ml/L at panicle initiation, T7: N application at LCC ≤3, T8: N application at LCC ≤4, T9: N application at SI less than 90%, T10: Nutrient Expert (TY: 5.5 t/ha), T11: Rice crop manager (TY: 5.5t/ha) which were allocated in randomized block design with three replications. Result: The findings showed that implementing nitrogen (N) application when the sufficiency index (SI) is below 90% led to a significant 16.85% boost to grain yield of rice compared to the application of 120-60-60 at fixed intervals as per the standard recommendation. In the former approach, 150 kg N/ha was applied in four splits. However, N application at a leaf color chart (LCC) value of 4 or less was considered efficient, with maximum agronomic efficiency (18.22 and 19.22 kg grain/kg N applied) and recovery efficiency (43.27% and 50.25%) observed in 2021 and 2022, respectively since, this approach resulted in a comparable yield increase and nitrogen absorption with a reduced nitrogen input.
Oxygen Delivery Microcapsules provide a Novel Strategy for the Treatment of Cancer
Authors: Sheng Jianpeng
Published: December 2023

Intratumoral hypoxia is a primary characteristic of tumors and leads to increased activity of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), which contributes to tumor growth, aggressiveness, metastasis, immune evasion, cancer stem cell maintenance, drug resistance, and so on. In the past years, many studies focus on different strategies to target HIFs. Recently, Wu et al. created an effective oxygen delivery vehicle of polydopamine-microcapsules, which effectively improves the hypoxia microenvironment. The review was carried out from three aspects: the mechanism of hypoxia promoting tumor progression, the characteristic and preparation of oxygen microcapsules, and the prospect of oxygen microcapsules in tumor therapy. In summary, oxygen microcapsules provide a new strategy for targeting hypoxia tumor microenvironment and may shed light on the treatment of cancer.

Authors: Shilpakar Dikshya
Published: December 2023

The present study was undertaken to isolate, identify and characterize LAB found in juju dhau from Bhaktapur, Nepal. A total of 15 samples were collected, pooled together and finally examined microbiologically. Based on morphological, cultural, biochemical and physiological characteristics, three types (A, B and C) of Lactobacilli, two (A and B) Leuconostoc, two (A and B) Bifidobacterium, one Streptococcus thermophilus and three (A, B and C) Lactococci were isolated and identified. Moreover, it was found that all the isolated LAB were gram positive, catalase-oxidase negative, non-motile bacteria, growing optimally at 30 ᵒC (except Streptococcus thermophilus), pH 7 and 0% NaCl. All Lactobacilli grew well at 45 ᵒC and pH 4 but only type C was able to grow at 10 ᵒC and pH 2. All isolates of Leuconostoc and Lactococci were found to be mesophilic, growing well at 30 ᵒC and 10 ᵒC but not at 45ᵒC. Also, Leuconostocs grew well at pH 4 but not at pH 2 while only type C Lactococci was able to resist high acidic pH 2. Similarly, both types of Bifidobacterium grew well at 45 ᵒC and pH 2 but only type A was able to grow at 10 ᵒC. Among 11 organisms, only type C of Lactococci did not grew at 6.5% NaCl. This signifies that juju dhau comprises variety of LAB. This study can serve to document and thereby preserve as well as commercialize traditional fermented foods of Nepal.
Exploring the Role of Human Gut Microbiota in Atopic Asthma - The Gut Lung Node
Authors: Parvathi V Deepa
Published: December 2023

Atopic asthma is a hypersensitive reaction that occurs on exposure to allergens mediated by immunoglobulin E. Environmental, genetic and immunological factors concurrently influence the onset, development and severity of the disease characterized by wheezing, bronchospasm, cough and airway remodeling. Human gut microbiota is a complex, dynamic and diverse environment that regulates physiological mechanisms and prevents occurrence of disorders. The role of gut microbiota in atopic asthma has been established due to its effects at the immunological and histological levels. Composition of microbiota in the case of atopic asthma has been found to vary with age, health status, maternal effect, usage of antibiotics and method of delivery. Therapeutics that can modify the microbiota including probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics are implicated in treatment of atopic asthma. Furthermore, traditional medicine-based interventions are also being explored among which curcumin has proven to be highly efficacious. This review provides a comprehensive view on factors, diagnosis, treatment, association of gut microbiome and remedies for asthma.

The use of Biomaterials in Infection Prevention in the Hospital Environment
Authors: Ferreira Benvindo
Published: December 2023

Biomaterials are increasingly gaining space in the hospital environment because they provide researchers with a broad investigative aspect to compose new strategies for use in clinical practices. In this context, the present study aims to investigate the use of biocompounds with antimicrobial action as an alternative in the coating of surfaces in the hospital context. Thus, the guiding methodology of this study was a narrative review of the literature. To this end, the following databases were consulted: PubMed, Embase, Lilacs, using the PICo strategy and subjected to the following descriptors: (“Biomaterial” OR “Biopolymer” OR “Polymer”;) AND (“Nosocomial infections”) AND (“RCT OR randomized OR random OR case-control”). It was observed in this study a wide use of biomaterials, especially hydrogels related to natural compounds with the purpose of promoting antimicrobial action in the hospital environment, fighting pathogens, especially bacteria and fungi, which are responsible for most hospital infections. Furthermore, the use of copper and chitosan nanoparticles for coating dental and medical materials was verified, with bactericidal activity for the pathogens Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, affirming that the development of these surfaces is a promising tool against infections acquired in the hospital environment. Thus, the results obtained report a new perspective on combating antimicrobial agents responsible for aggravating patient life in the hospital setting.
Tumor Associated Neutrophil Polarization and its Potential Effects in Cancer Therapy
Authors:  Yang Chang Chin 
Published: December 2023

Neutrophils are the first line of defense against pathogens in the immune system, and also has important implications for the tumor micro-environment. The effect of neutrophils on cancer is a double-edged sword in that they can both promote or inhibit tumor growth. When in different tumor environments or exposed to different stimulation, neutrophils would polarize toward anti-tumorigenic N1 or pro-tumorigenic N2 phenotype. The exact mechanism to polarize N1 and N2 are not yet well understood, but it is currently known that IFN-β or stimulation of the pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) pathway can cause N1 polarization. On the contrary, in the presence of TGF-β or IL-10, N2 polarization occurs. When N1 population is dominant in the tumor micro-environment, they will inhibit tumor growth and enhance the effect of immunotherapy. But vice versa, dominance of pro-tumorigenic N2 phenotype within the tumor would enhance inflammation leading to more aggressive tumor growth and also hinders the effect of immunotherapy. Therefore, it is very important to understand the subtype of tumor associated neutrophils in the tumor when determining appropriate cancer therapy.
Prophylactic Acts and Ethnoveterinary Medicine for Sick Cattle in Few Cow Farming in the Wilaya of Skikda ( Northeastern Algeria )
Authors: Ahmim Mourad
Published: December 2023

A sample of 130 dairy cattle farms distributed in twenty communes of the wilaya of Skikda located in the North East of Algeria was the subject of investigations on the prophylactic acts during 3 agricultural campaigns and on the therapeutic methods adopted by the breeders when diseases appear in their herds as well as knowledge of traditional remedies based on medicinal plants used in dairy cattle farming to treat certain diseases. Concerning prophylactic acts, the regular monitoring of internal and external parasitism of animals practiced respectively in 58.6% and 82.2% of farms surveyed is significant compared to other regions of the country. On the other hand, vaccination against rabies is only practiced in 25.5% of farms. While the screening operations for tuberculosis and brucellosis were only carried out in 38.2% of cases. The breeders surveyed in the wilaya of Skikda adopt different strategies to try to treat their sick animals: 65.4% of ‘among them call on the veterinarian while 18.5% try to treat their sick animals themselves with the use of medicinal plants against certain diseases and other breeders use drugs and medicinal plants at the same time to accelerate healing for fear of veterinary costs. In terms of ethnobotany, the 20 plant species used in the composition of 24 traditional remedies to treat various livestock diseases have shown that the aerial part of the plant is the most used part (65%) and the form of use the most. the most widespread is the infusion (50%). It seems important to encourage scientific research in order to identify the traditional remedies used in ethnoveterinary medicine and to test their effectiveness.

Amaç: Skalp; kalvaryal kemiklerin üzerini örtmesi ve saç içermesi gibi önemli görevlere sahiptir. Fonksiyonel ve estetik önemi nedeniyle skalp rekonstrüksiyonu plastik cerrahların sıklıkla ilgilendiği özel bir konu haline gelmiştir. Serbest flepler skalp rekonstrüksiyonu için uzun zamandır güvenli bir şekilde kullanılmasına rağmen ideal flep konusunda literatürde bir fikir birliğine ulaşılamamıştır. Çalışmamızda skalp rekonstrüksiyonlarındaki serbest flep tecrübelerimizi sunmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: 2018-2021 yılları arasında toplam 7 hastada (3 kadın, 4 erkek ) 8 serbest flep ile skalp rekonstrüksiyonu uygulandı. Hastaların yaşları 8 – 73 arasındaydı. Serbest flep tercihlerimiz arasında 4 latissimus dorsi flebi, 3 anterolateral uyluk flebi ve 1 vertikal rektus abdominis muskulokutan flebi yer almaktaydı. Alıcı damar olarak olarak temporalis süperfisiyalis, temporalis süperfisiyalisin frontal dalı, oksipital damarlar, fasiyal damarlar ve trapezius kasının uygun çapta perforatörü kullanıldı. Bulgular: Latissimus dorsi serbest flebi yapılan 1 hastada venöz tromboz görüldü. Tüm girişimlere rağmen flep kurtarılamadı. Komplikasyon olarak 1 hastada donör alanda seroma ve 1 hastada alıcı alanda dehisans görüldü. Ek komplikasyon veya flep kaybı gözlenmedi. Sonuç: Serbest flepler geniş ve/veya kompozit skalp defektlerinde kullanışlı seçeneklerdir. Teknik zorluklarına rağmen, perforatör fleplerin avantajlarından dolayı skalp rekonstrüksiyonunda ilk tercih olabileceğini düşünmekteyiz. Latissimus dorsi flebi, ilk flebin başarısızlığı durumunda kurtarıcı bir alternatif olarak kullanılabilir. Not: Çalışmamız 18-21 Mayıs 2022 tarihinde Bodrum, Muğla’da gerçekleştirilen 9. Ulusal Rekonstrüktif Mikrocerrahi ve 2. Ulusal Acil El Cerrahisi ve Mikrocerrahi Kongresinde sözlü bildiri olarak sunulmuştur.
Les discours de la mémoire en Europe. La représentation de la Seconde Guerre mondiale dans le discours des manuels français et polonais. Causalité et agentivité
Authors: Biardzka Elżbieta
Published: December 2023

This paper deals with the educational discourse used in French and Polish history textbooks addressed to adolescents and published in a so-called modern-day model of textbooks. The study falls under the continuity of the French discourse analysis in a contrastive dimension, the object of which is the description of different “discursive cultures” based on their verbal productions. The hypothesis developed in this study is that French and Polish textbooks diff er in their representation of causality and agentivity, which contributes, through discourse infl ections, to the construction of two different memories of the course of events. The two concepts mentioned are, indeed, organizing principles of the educational discourse analysed, since indicating explanatory causes and links between phenomena, anticipating and providing an understanding of consequences are an integral part of the educational activity supported by the popularization discourse we analyse. Our analysis is based on the principles of discourse semantics in a comparative perspective.

Carp is one of the most popular sources of animal protein. Aquaculture products must be distributed through a transportation system to meet the demand for carp. Improper transportation techniques will cause the condition of the fish to deteriorate, thereby increasing stress, the parasites susceptible enter the fish's body. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of transportation on blood glucose levels and ectoparasite infestation in Punten carp. The method used in this study is an experimental method with descriptive approach by comparing the values of blood glucose levels and parasite infestations in fish before the transportation process and after the transportation process. The results of the analysis of water quality before the transportation and after the transportation process still within normal limits. In the transportation treatment, Mas Punten fish can increase blood glucose levels significantly with a value before transportation of 31.54 mg/dL and after transportation of 51.41 mg/dL. The increase in ectoparasite survival was not significant with an average number of 10.64 ind/head (medium) before transportation and 12.08 ind/head (moderate) after the transportation process. There is a correlation between blood glucose levels and ectoparasite infestation with the degree of correlation. Based on the chi test, it was found that the treatment of the Punten Mas fish transportation system can affect the blood glucose level of fish very significantly (sig> 0.01), but it is not associated with an increase in ectoparasite infestations that occur (.338>0.01).

Authors: Mpofu Favourate y
Published: December 2023

With the intensity of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being widely adopted to perform key tasks in economic activities. The audit profession has also embraced AI in the performance of its function in carrying out activities like audits, oversight, and advisory functions. The application of AI has been met with acceptance, given its advantages in some quarters and with resistance/scepticism in some. Proponents table benefits such as improved sampling procedures, reduced labour, and time in performing audits, increased efficiency, and effectiveness (due to increased audit coverage) including improved audit quality. Opponents raise pragmatic concerns such as the violation of ethical principles governing the audit profession, potential biases (loss of employment) as well as the challenges of coordinating machine and human activities. The study has two objectives. Firstly, to explore the role of AI in the external audit function. Secondly, to evaluate the ongoing debates on artificial intelligence and external auditing and assess the implications of using AI in the external audit function. The study adopts a qualitative research approach, employing a critical literature review. The study will accentuate the controversies and convergences among researchers on the role and implications of applying AI in external auditing to bring to light possible research gaps that can be explored by future researchers on the subject area. Highlighting the potential externalities of using AI has both theoretical and practical implications.

The quality of Physical Science education in rural South African schools is a matter of significant concern, particularly in the context of the country's development goals aimed at uplifting education standards in these areas and nurturing a more skilled workforce. Physical Science plays a pivotal role in enhancing scientific literacy across the nation. This qualitative study, framed within Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, sought to identify the challenges faced by Physical Science educators in improving Grade 12 results in rural schools in Vuwani. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving a purposive selection of ten Physical Science educators from among 49 schools within the district. Thematic analysis was applied to the collected data, yielding insightful interpretations. The findings, primarily from interview responses, reveal that Physical Science educators in Vuwani grapple with various challenges. These challenges encompass resource scarcity, excessive workloads, inadequate support from school management teams (SMT), insufficient training when curricula change, overcrowded classrooms, and suboptimal learning environments. This study underscores the importance of fostering collaborative partnerships between schools, local communities, and business sectors. In particular, it recommends that businesses extend their support to rural schools, addressing infrastructure deficiencies and resource shortages. Such collaborative initiatives between government entities and businesses can enhance the overall quality of education in rural areas, ultimately mitigating the skills deficit and contributing to the nation's socioeconomic development goals.

The South African Police Service (SAPS) has implemented a shift system in which police officers are scheduled to work for four consecutive days, resulting in a total of 48 hours per week. The implementation of the 12-hour shift pattern has been found to have an adverse effect on police officers. Consequently, this appears to have a detrimental effect on police effectiveness. Studies investigating the effects of the 12-hour shift have revealed that this work schedule significantly influences the reaction time, sleep patterns, and overall health of police officers, thereby impacting their performance. This study aims to provide a qualitative analysis of the effects of the 12-hour shift on police performance at Pretoria Central (SAPS) Police Station in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Data was collected from eight (8) individuals from the SAPS, namely at Pretoria Central Police Station, using semi-structured interviews. The participants have suggested that officials in the SAPS should evaluate the existing shift structure and increase the deployment of police officers at the police station. This would help alleviate the workload of the officers and enhance service delivery.
