When Creativity Stalls: Maintaining Innovation Under Pressure
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: October 2024

This article examines the relationship between stress and creativity in the workplace and provides practical recommendations for how leaders can support innovative thinking among stressed employees. Considerable research has shown that moderate stress can enhance cognitive functioning while excessive, prolonged stress hinders creative processes like “associative thinking” by redirecting resources toward more routine thinking. Specific strategies are recommended to help teams manage stress without compromising innovation, drawn from evidence-based practices employed by leading companies in high-pressure industries. These include scheduling regular breaks, remodeling physical spaces, incorporating mindfulness activities, hosting team-building events, and promoting a strengths-based approach to development. When leaders implement stress-relieving techniques grounded in positive psychology, mindfulness, movement, social support and growth mindsets, they can maintain organizational creativity even amid workplace pressures.

Sobre o chão colonial

Published: October 2024

Este artigo apresenta uma análise da performance Dance with me (2018), da artista brasileira Élle de Bernardini a partir da ideia de prótese de gênero, presente na obra de Paul B. Preciado (2015) e das leituras da monstruosidade propostas por Jeffrey Jerome Cohen (2000). Tendo em perspectiva o arenoso território colonialista-transfóbico no qual a obra se insere, proponho que a identificação crítica da artista à monstruosidade problematiza o regime heterossexual que se instaura na modernidade como dispositivo de controle do corpo e da existência.

Published: October 2024

Over the past two decades, interest in the use of probiotics for both preventive and therapeutic purposes for various pathologies has grown significantly around the world, but the amount of evidence for various probiotic microorganisms varies greatly. The aim of this study is to study the current possibilities and effectiveness of using probiotics in the treatment of acute otitis media, as well as to analyze existing evidence and identify the most promising probiotic microorganisms for the treatment of this disease. Materials and methods. In this randomized clinical trial of 25 children aged 1 to 6 years, daily use of the oral probiotic Salivarius K12 for 6 months did not reduce the incidence of acute otitis media. Results. The results of this study underscore the need for a critical analysis of the effectiveness of probiotic drugs when used in pediatric practice for the prevention of acute otitis media. Despite the absence of a significant reduction in the incidence of this disease when using Salivarius K12, the data obtained are important for a general understanding of the effects of probiotics on the child's body. Conclusions. For pediatricians and clinicians, this study focuses on the need for further, larger and longer studies to identify the most effective probiotic strains that could be useful in clinical practice.
L’influence de Debussy dans la musique de film fantastique sombre
Authors: Carayol Cécile
Published: October 2024

Des Images oubliées aux Reflets dans l’eau, une grande majorité de la musique de Claude Debussy est remplie d’images et de tableaux sonores. L’oeuvre debussyste est d’ailleurs amplement citée comme préexistante dans le cinéma, tout genre confondu, et ce depuis le muet, notamment pour les scènes de plein air, jusqu’à la période contemporaine. Debussy est musicien de la nature, du voyage, d’effets de lumière dans l’eau, voire du monde de l’enfance, mais bon nombre de ses oeuvres (« Nuages », Pelléas et Mélisande, Le Martyre de Saint-Sébastien ou son opéra inachevé La Chute de la maison Usher) sont également autant de manifestations de la mort et de la peur. L’ambition de cet article est de montrer en quoi des compositeurs comme Dimitri Tiomkin, Franz Waxman, Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith ou encore Alejandro Amenábar sondent le langage debussyste pour enrichir le paratexte de leurs partitions destinées à des films comportant une dimension fantastique sombre, estompant ainsi la frontière qui existe entre eros et thanatos, ou encore entre le monde des morts et celui des vivants.

Gobierno de partidos y designación de ministros en Uruguay, 1985-2024
Authors: Chasquetti Daniel
Published: October 2024

Objective/Context: The article analyzes the partisan nature of ministers in Uruguay (96 % of the total) during the period 1985–2024, based on the institutional and political constraints of cabinet appointments. Given that the president has moderate legislative powers, nominations are used to build majorities capable of approving government initiatives and preventing the opposition from censuring ministers in Parliament. As the political system operates based on the logic of the party government model, the article explores the consequences of its application by analyzing the behavior of the ruling party’s caucus in a sample of ministerial interpellations conducted in Parliament. Methodology: The research is a case study based on statistical analysis of original data. The main hypothesis considers four independent variables (size of the president’s legislative contingent, party cohesion, type of government, and evolution of the government period) and a series of control variables. Conclusions: The study confirms that Uruguayan presidents make strategic use of ministerial appointments, based on the assumption that the relationship between powers functions as a typical party government model, similar to that observed in parliamentary regimes. Presidents appoint high- ranking partisan ministers when they have support in Parliament and the party is strongly cohesive. They appoint mid- and low-ranking partisan ministers when the president forms coalitions and when the party is less cohesive. Finally, they prefer new or discreet partisan ministers when the president loses his coalition or during the last years of the mandate. Originality: It analyzes the appointment of ministers in Uruguay under a presidential system that, despite not having excessive legislative powers, resembles the typical party government model of parliamentary regimes.
On a nonlocal p(x)-Laplacian Dirichlet problem involving several critical Sobolev-Hardy exponents
Authors: Costa Augusto César dos Reis , da Silva Ronaldo Lopes
Published: October 2024

The aim of this work is to present a result of multiplicity of solutions, in generalized Sobolev spaces, for a non-local elliptic problem with \(p(x)\)-Laplace operator containing \(k\) distinct critical Sobolev-Hardy exponents combined with singularity points \[ \begin{cases} M(\psi(u)) (- \Delta_{p(x)} u + |u|^{p(x)-2} u) = \sum_{i=1}^{k} h_i(x) \dfrac{|u|^{p^*_{s_i}(x)-2} u}{|x|^{s_i(x)}} + f(x,u) &\text{in }\Omega, \\ u=0 &\text{on }\partial \Omega, \end{cases} \] where \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^N\) is a bounded domain with \(0 \in \Omega\) and \(1 \lt p^- \leq p(x) \leq p^+ \lt N\). The real function \(M\) is bounded in \([0, +\infty)\) and the functions \(h_i\) \((i=1, \ldots, k)\) and \(f\) are functions whose properties will be given later. To obtain the result we use the Lions' concentration-compactness principle for critical Sobolev-Hardy exponent in the space \(W^{1,p(x)}_{0}(\Omega)\) due to Yu, Fu and Li, and the Fountain Theorem.

Authors: Ranjan Rishabh , Mittal Sanjeev , Sharma Prabal , Sharma Bhumika , Singh Ankita , Patel Sneha
Published: October 2024

Introduction: For a dentist, it is a matter of concern to restore the original luster or glaze on a Monolithic Zirconia (MZ) restoration after clinical adjustments. For a long time, the gold standard for surface restoration was reglazing; however, with advancements in technology, new polishing kits optimised for zirconia have become available for chairside polishing. Aim: To examine the effects of grinding, reglazing, and polishing techniques on the surface roughness and flexural strength of MZ specimens. Materials and Methods: This in-vitro study was conducted in the Department of Prosthodontics at MM College of Dental Sceiences and Research in Mullana, Haryana, India from April to December 2019 and 32 specimens of MZ, each measuring 20 mm × 5 mm × 3 mm, were fabricated and divided into four groups, with each group consisting of eight specimens. Group C was considered the Control group. Specimens in Group G were only Ground, specimens in Group GR were Ground and Reglazed, and specimens in Group GP were Ground and Polished using a zirconia polishing kit. All specimens were then analysed for surface roughness and flexural strength using a profilometer and a Universal Testing Machine (UTM), respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Honest Significant Test (HSD) post-hoc test, Pearson’s correlation, and other methods using International Business Machine (IBM) Statistics version 25.0 (Armonk, USA). Results: The surface roughness (Ra) of the control group (C) was 0.4403 μm, followed by the Polished Group (GP) at 0.656 μm and the Reglazed Group (GR) at 0.809 μm. The difference between the polished (GP) and reglazed (GR) groups, was statistically insignificant (p=0.53). There was a statistically significant increase in flexural strength in the reglazed samples (GR) when compared to the polished samples (GP). No significant correlation (p=0.58 and r=-0.1) was found between surface roughness and flexural strength. Conclusion: Chairside polishing can be an effective alternative to reglazing for restoring the surface finish of MZ. Additionally, polishing increases the strength of zirconia after adjustments.

Authors: Bagulkar Bhupesh Bhayyaji , Gupta Deepa Sanjay , Jaiswal Shradha , Bhat Atul , Hardia Rajnandini
Published: October 2024

Odontogenic tumours, derived from the epithelial, ectomesenchymal, and/or mesenchymal elements of the tooth-forming apparatus, constitute a heterogeneous group of lesions that include both benign and malignant neoplasms with metastatic capabilities. Several signalling pathways are involved in odontogenesis, with three major pathways being the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK), Sonic Hedgehog (SHH), and Wnt signalling pathways. Understanding the biological behaviour of various odontogenic tumours is fundamentally important for determining the overall outcome. This review discusses the pathogenesis of various odontogenic tumours.

However, the impact of cataracts on visual functions in strabismus patients is not well documented. Aim: To evaluate the Vision-related Quality of Life (VRQoL) after cataract surgery in strabismus patients. Materials and Methods: The present quasi-experimental study was conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, RL Jalappa Hospital and Research Centre, Kolar, Karnataka, India, from August 2023 to September 2023. Study included 44 strabismus patients, which was assessed by Hirschberg and alternate cover tests. All patients underwent unilateral manual small incision cataract surgery on the worse eye. VRQoL was assessed using the Indian Vision-related Quality of Life Functioning Questionnaire-33 (IND-VFQ-33) questionnaire preoperatively and postoperatively. Statistical significance was determined using paired t-tests (p-value<0.05). Results: In the present study, the mean±Standard Deviation (SD) age of patients was 64.34±8.09 years (range: 42-79 years), with a predominance of females, 29 (66%). All patients underwent unilateral manual small incision cataract surgery on their worse eye. The degree of strabismus among the patients varied: 27 (61.36%) exhibited a 15° deviation, 12 (27.27%) had a 30° deviation and 5 (11.36%) exhibited a 45° deviation. A total of 41 (93.1%) patients presented with exotropia, while 3 (6.9%) exhibited esotropia. The results demonstrated significant improvements in Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) from the preoperative to postoperative period. The IND-VFQ33 questionnaire revealed substantial reductions in scores for general functioning, mobility, activity limitation, psychosocial impact and visual symptoms across the entire study population and in all strabismus groups (15°, 30° and 45° deviations), with a p-value of <0.05. Overall, 84.09% of patients had no to mild visual impairment postoperatively, with 27 (100%) patients with 15° strabismus, 7 (58.3%) patients with 30° strabismus, and 3 (60%) patients with 45° strabismus reporting no to mild visual impairment. 3 (25%) patients with 30° strabismus and 1 (20%) patient with 45° strabismus had moderate vision impairment postoperatively. Two (16.66%) patients with 30° strabismus and one patient with 45° strabismus had severe vision impairment postoperatively. Conclusion: A significant proportion of strabismus patients with cataracts were elderly, predominantly females. Exotropia and 15° strabismus were the most common findings. Cataract surgery significantly improved VRQoL, with the most substantial benefits observed in patients with a 15° deviation and the least in those with a 45° deviation.

Weeds are noxious plants that cause major problems for crop cultivation by interfering with crop growth and development. Due to weed infestation, about 50% of crop yields are reduced. In fact, weed causes more damage than pests and diseases in crop production. In modern agriculture, weeds are managed by using synthetic chemical herbicides. However, in organic farming, weed management is only possible through conventional methods such as manual and mechanical weeding, which are uneconomical and labor-intensive processes. Nowadays, labor shortage is the major problem in agriculture for performing various intercultural operations, especially weed management. In addition, continuous usage of synthetic herbicides can cause contamination to the surroundings thereby resulting in environmental pollution and the evolution of several herbicide-resistant weed species. To address these drawbacks allelopathic potential and allelochemicals can be utilized for weed management. Medicinal plants are rich sources of secondary metabolites with allelopathic potential, which helps to manage weeds by using plants extracts and natural herbicides. Allelochemicals of medicinal plants have the greatest potential for biological weed management by utilizing plant extracts and extracted allelochemicals as natural herbicides. Naturally extracted allelochemicals have almost the same effect as that of using synthetic herbicides in weed management without causing hazards to the environment. Thus, natural herbicides play a vital role in maintaining eco-friendly agriculture and sustainability in soil health. This review will help to create a general view about the allelopathic potential of medicinal plants and also helps to identify future research areas for weed management in organic farming with the help of allelochemicals.

The Ecstasy pill sold with the trade name ‘molly’ which has 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) as the active component, is one of the most popular recreational drugs in parts of Africa. This study was carried out to determine the histomorphological effects of molly on the heart using adult wistar rats as the mammalian model. The study was done on twenty-five adult albino wistar rats which were sacrificed after 21 days of molly administration, the rats were put under light chloroform anesthesia and the Heart harvested for histological processing. The experimental animals were separated into five groups. Each group contained five rats each using 5 big cages to house them. The administration of molly was given orally as follows: Group A (Control) received only normal feed (growers’ mash) and distilled water daily for 21days. Group B-E (Test groups) received growers mash and graded quantities of molly (B, 0.12 mg/kg body weight each; C, 0.18 mg/kg body weight each; D, 0.32 mg/kg body weight each and E, 0.4 mg/kg body weight each) and water was given ad libitum for 21 days. Heart sections were obtained from the rats and processed histologically. The results showed that the weight of the control increased during the period of the study. The mean weight of rats in all groups before the period of molly administration were significantly increased. Group A (Control), group B and C showed normal cardiac muscle, while Group D and E showed section of cardiac muscle showing fragmented myocytes with karyolysis of nuclei surrounded by eosinophilic cytoplasm and features of Myolysis. This study revealed that consumption of molly could result in the distortion and disruption of the microanatomy of the cardiac muscle showing fragmented myocytes with karyolysis of nuclei surrounded by eosinophilic cytoplasm. Molly consumption may be the cause of the various deleterious distortions which occurred in the heart and a necessary reduction in its consumption is required to avoid these effects.

The impact of the National Food Security Mission (NFSM) on the knowledge levels of chickpea growers in Ajmer district, Rajasthan, focusing on recommended production technologies. A comparison between 200 beneficiary and 200 non-beneficiary farmers revealed significant differences in knowledge across key practices, such as field preparation, use of high-yielding varieties, seed sowing, irrigation management, and post-harvest techniques. Beneficiary farmers exhibited significantly higher knowledge in seven key practices, with Mean Percent Scores (MPS) of 83.43 for field preparation and 82.08 for the use of high-yielding varieties, compared to non-beneficiaries who had lower knowledge, particularly in critical areas like plant protection (49.77 MPS) and weed management (45.25 MPS). The 'Z' test confirmed that the knowledge differences were statistically significant at the 1% and 5% levels. However, no significant difference was found in common practices such as seed sowing, seed rate and spacing, and harvesting, suggesting widespread understanding of these practices. The findings highlight the effectiveness of NFSM in improving the knowledge of beneficiary farmers regarding modern chickpea production technologies, although further efforts are needed to address knowledge gaps in crop protection and management practices among non-beneficiaries.
