Published: August 2024

Conscientes da necessidade de discutir a reflexividade como componente fundamental da prática criativa, este artigo enumera e discute os aspectos gerais do agente criativo enquanto crítico de processo, numa perspectiva transversal da história da arte. A discussão do agente criativo, para além das fronteiras da academia, conduz-nos, inevitavelmente, às produções conceptuais e teóricas organizadas que derivam da reflexão sobre os próprios processos criativos. Dessa forma, partimos do exame das competências gerais do crítico de processo no âmbito acadêmico, segundo os estudos de Processos de Criação da PUC/SP, para, em seguida, apontar algumas das capacidades do agente por meio de diferentes projetos de publicação até a experimentação contemporânea. Esta investigação fornece um mapeamento de manifestações da produção reflexiva, incluindo o trabalho crítico sobre o próprio fazer, discussões sobre o fazer de outros artistas, reflexões sobre documentos processuais próprios ou de outros. Assim, o artigo pretende contribuir para a discussão do agente como sujeito a partir de práticas criativas e críticas movidas pela necessidade de comunicação. Apresenta também a abordagem da transversalidade como uma abordagem essencial para a realização de recorrências em diferentes contextos de ação.
Accounting for modern slavery risk transparency in Nigerian businesses: Institutional context, disclosure and the way forward
Authors: Christ Katherine , Ikpor Isaac , Burritt Roger
Published: August 2024

This paper examines the state of engagement of Nigerian companies with modern slavery risk and how current accounting and reporting might be better enabled to contribute towards ending modern slavery practices. Crane's (2013) theoretical framework is used to guide understanding of the contexts behind modern slavery risk disclosure in Nigeria, including industry, socioeconomic, regulatory, cultural and geographic factors. Cross-sectional content and thematic analysis are undertaken, as published in the annual reports, sustainability reports and websites of top companies listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. In line with Crane (2013), supply chain codes of conduct and collaboration are identified as a possible first-stage intervention moderator between industry context and ending modern slavery in Nigeria. However, a second moderator, affordable micro-credit, is notably absent from disclosures, and a third moderator, private or civil regulators, as a substitute for government, is considered ineffective. Management capability mediators as circuit breakers, reducing accounting opacity, require further research. This is the first paper to present evidence about modern slavery supply chain risk disclosures in Nigeria and to develop possible contextual, moderating and mediating variables aimed at policies and actions to end modern slavery practices in Nigeria.
Can online content indicate an individual's ‘real-life’ personality?
Authors: Matthews Alice , Hine Andrew
Published: August 2024

Over the past few decades, many people have been displaced for various reasons and must seek employment, accommodation and integration opportunities in host countries without local experience or references. Online content may offer an opportunity to bridge this trust and information gap. To this end, we searched for a correlation between personality inferences and psychometric measurements from online content to determine whether online content can approximate traditional psychometric analysis. Our results show that text content data from various online sources can indeed estimate the IPIP 50 outcomes of psychological surveys; an individual's online content reflects their ‘real life’ personality traits.
Antibiotic Sensitivity Patterns of Bacteria Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections of Pregnant Women in Sabratha City
Authors: Ibtesam Amer
Published: August 2024

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most prevalent reproductive system infections in women of childbearing age worldwide. This study aimed to identify Escherichia coli (E. coli) as a potential causative agent of UTIs in pregnant women and to assess the effectiveness of various antibacterial agents on the clinical samples collected. Conducted in 2021 at Sabratha Teaching Hospital, the study included 60 urine samples from pregnant women with a history of fever, vaginal discharge, and other clinical symptoms. Routine bacterial diagnostics and culture techniques were employed to identify and characterize bacterial isolates. All cases were confirmed by specialists in obstetrics and gynecology. The study successfully isolated and identified 19 bacterial strains: 11 isolates (57.9%) were identified as Escherichia coli, 1 isolate (5.3%) as Staphylococcus species, and 7 isolates (36.8%) as Staphylococcus aureus. The findings revealed that Escherichia coli exhibited a high sensitivity to ciprofloxacin (79%) in vitro. In contrast, other antibiotics, including amoxicillin, Augmentin, and ampicillin, elicited varying degrees of resistance. Notably, Escherichia coli showed resistance to ampicillin and rosuvine, indicating an alarming increase in resistance to these commonly used antimicrobials. This resistance trend poses a significant public health concern, as it can lead to more virulent and treatment-resistant bacterial infections. The study underscores the importance of routine bacteriological culture and sensitivity testing in managing UTIs, particularly in pregnant women. Furthermore, ensuring adequate healthcare can help prevent UTIs and maintain overall health in this population.

In today’s world for inclusive hiring practices, blind and visually impaired individuals face significant challenges in finding suitable employment, particularly in massage therapy. This study explores the socio-economic experiences of blind and visually impaired massage therapists, aiming to understand their economic status, emotional resilience, social inclusion, well-being, and empowerment. The research employs a descriptive and quantitative approach, collecting data through surveys, interviews, and observations of 20 blind and visually impaired massage therapists in Manila, Philippines. The study aims to identify factors affecting the socio-economic sustainability of blind and visually impaired massage therapists, focusing on economic status, social inclusion, and self-perception. Data were collected using questionnaires, interviews, and observations. The survey, adapted from the WHO’s Model Disability Survey, was administered to blind and visually impaired massage therapists in various workplaces. Statistical analysis, including one-sample tests and ANOVA, was conducted using SPSS to evaluate the impact of social inclusion and economic status on well-being and empowerment. The study revealed that while the respondents generally perceive a moderate level of economic sustainability and social inclusion, their experiences vary significantly. Social inclusion was found to play a crucial role in their sense of empowerment, but it did not significantly affect their overall well-being. Moreover, strong social inclusions and inclusive practices were essential for improving their economic conditions, highlighting the importance of community support and inclusive policies. The study underscores the need for comprehensive support systems to enhance the self-reliance and socio-economic sustainability of blind and visually impaired massage therapists. It calls for targeted interventions to improve their well-being, empowerment, and social inclusion.

Biomass thinning in strips as an alternative to conventional selective thinning in biomass-dense forests
Authors: Becs Artis
Published: August 2024

In Northern Europe, novel thinning methods are being explored to find a balance between the biomass extraction required to meet the rising demand for renewable energy and the maintenance of ecological integrity. This thesis synthesises findings from three studies: two conducted in Southern Sweden, which focussed on the utility of biomass thinning (BT) techniques in strips, and one based on Swedish National Forest Inventory data, to pinpoint the biomass-dense forests (BDFs) where these BT methods could be implemented. The first study evaluated how BT impacts the growth and development of the forest remaining post-thinning. The findings revealed that BT, when implemented in 1- to 2-m wide strips, does not compromise the growth of the remaining target trees and may reduce the damage associated with commercial thinning (CT). The second study examined how BT influences spatial tree diversity, which is a critical factor for forest diversity and resilience. The results indicated that BT in strips fosters higher spatial tree diversity than traditional CT. The third study investigated the potential for biomass extraction from BDFs across Sweden. The research identified 1.4 million ha of Swedish forests that are currently classified as BDF, where some type of BT could be implemented. Furthermore, the findings suggest that sediment and moraine soils within mesic and mesic-moist moisture categories are the optimal targets for BDF management. The various findings presented in this thesis suggest that BT in strips can be an effective strategy for sustainable biomass production. However, the presented evidence also highlights the need for long-term research and consideration of regional variation before widespread implementation. This thesis contributes to the understanding of sustainable forestry practices that align with Sweden’s renewable energy goals as well as the broader European Union sustainability framework.

Published: August 2024

Background: Psychiatric and mental disorders are more prevalent than recorded. Severe cases of these conditions require rehabilitation services to reach optimal social and occupational wellbeing. This study was carried out to evaluate the characteristics of patients seeking care in one rehabilitation center in Saudi Arabia and to evaluate the impact of these services on the patients’ GAF scores. Design: Ac. Method: This cross-sectional observational study was carried out in rehabilitation center in Majmaah, Saudi Arabia over a period of 3 months from Jan 2021 to March 2021. Following administration and ethical approval, medical students recruited patients who sought care from a rehabilitation center in Majmaah Hospital. Patients were screened for eligibility for inclusion and data were collected from medical records and through observation of the participants when they visited the facility. Data collection took place over a 6-month period. Results: A total of 147 responders participated in the study with the majority being male participants (53.1%) aged between 21-30 years of age (41.5%) with 66% were chronic care seekers of the facility. Causes for admission to the facility were mainly to control anti-epileptic medication intake (31.4%), control epilepsy (26.5%) and ADHD (11.6%). In terms of follow up, 78.9% visited a psychologist and 78.9% visited a social worker. On the social level, 30.6% visited a family member once a month and 86.4% did recreational activities once in 4 weeks although a large number (87.1%) did not approach any teaching facilities. The highest frequency in GAF range was than between 21-30 with 37.4% of the study population followed by the range between 1-10 with 18.4%. More male participants scored 21-30 than females (n=13, 8.8% vs. n=3, 2%; p=0.00). Those who reported good social skills in terms of smiles scored significantly higher on the GAS score than those with poorer social skills (n=36, 90% vs. n=4, 10%; p=0.002). Similarly for conversation skills (n=29, 72.5% vs. n=11, 27.5%; p=0.00) and speech (n=26, 65% vs. n=14, 35%; p=0.00). Additionally, significantly more females scored higher than 40 on the GAF scale when compared to male participants (n=31, 77.5% vs. n=9, 22.5%; p=0.00). Conclusion: Rehabilitation services were seen to be provided for both genders but perceived differently between male and female participants. This was evident in the differences in visits to the health care professionals. Additionally, more care can be given to those that lack proper hygiene practices and communications and interaction skills. These weak practices should be tackled through educational and behavioral interventions. Finally, inclusion of the most common mental and psychiatric disorders is necessary to provide generalizability. ASEAN Journal of Psychiatry, Vol. 23(6), June 2022: 1-11.

Exploring the Expansion of Higher Education and Youth Employment Issues from a Development Perspective
Authors: Song Meiyi
Published: August 2024

This article examines the expansion of higher education in China and its impact on youth employment from a developmental perspective. It delves into the theory of human capital, which views education as a critical investment in economic growth, and contrasts it with the persistent issue of youth unemployment despite educational growth. The study highlights structural mismatches in the labor market, exacerbated by globalization and marketization, which have led to an increase in low-quality employment and weakened income distribution. By reviewing the historical evolution of employment policies, the mechanisms of employment, and the theoretical perspectives on education and employment, the paper argues that the globalization-driven expansion of higher education has not resolved employment issues as expected. The mismatch between the supply of highly educated individuals and the demand for low-end labor, influenced by China's position in the global economic system, presents a complex challenge. The article concludes by suggesting that addressing global economic dependencies and structural inequalities is crucial for improving youth employment outcomes in China.
Study on Carbon Fixation Efficiency of Concrete Carbon Fixation Technology
Authors: Liu Zijian
Published: August 2024

Concrete emits a large amount of carbon dioxide during the production process, exacerbating environmental problems such as greenhouse effect. However, at the same time, the hydration products of concrete (Ca(OH)2, C-S-H, etc.) can react with CO2 and have great potential for carbon sequestration. At different stages of the life cycle of concrete (mixing, curing, service, and secondary utilization), concrete can achieve permanent CO2 sequestration through carbonation reactions. Whether concrete carbon sequestration technology can achieve carbon neutrality, the amount of carbon sequestration is the most important parameter, which directly determines whether various concrete carbon sequestration technologies have research value. Different concrete carbon sequestration technologies have significant differences in their carbon sequestration mechanisms and technical routes, resulting in varying amounts of carbon sequestration. This article summarizes the current research status of carbon sequestration technology in different stages of concrete, analyzes and compares its carbon sequestration efficiency, and predicts its development potential and application prospects.

A síndrome de infusão de propofol é descrita como uma síndrome rara e potencialmente fatal, que ocorre após infusão prolongada desse agente anestésico. Dessa forma, pacientes que apresentarem fatores que aumentam a probabilidade de desenvolvimento dessa síndrome devem ser cuidados com maior atenção, visto que pode resultar em acidose metabólica grave, rabdomiólise, colapso cardiovascular e morte. O objetivo desse estudo foi revisar sobre a síndrome da infusão de propofol por meio de revisão de literatura selecionando artigos disponíveis acerca do assunto para análise. Essa seleção tomou por base os artigos mais relevantes, com os maiores dados disponíveis na literatura. Assim, foram sumarizados os conceitos, fatores de risco, características e mortalidade da síndrome.

O objetivo deste trabalho é, através de relato de caso clínico, demonstrar a técnica sequencial de procedimentos minimamente invasivos para resolução estética em dente anterior. Manchas hipoplásicas no terço incisal vestibular do dente 21 foram tratadas através da técnica da microabrasão com ácido fosfórico e pedra-pomes, 1 sessão - e com o infiltrante resinoso (Icon®, DMG) - sessão única -, clareamento com peróxido de hidrogênio 37% - 2 sessões -. A profundidade da mancha, diagnóstico e escolha do tratamento mais pertinente determinam o sucesso clínico. Os resultados clínicos, embora não sejam perfeitos, satisfizeram totalmente os pacientes. A infiltração resinosa pode ser uma alternativa promissora para tratamento minimamente invasivo em situações semelhantes.
ANÁLISE ECONÔMICA DO ACESSO À JUSTIÇA NO JUDICIÁRIO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Cruz Luana Pedrosa de Figueiredo , Gabriel Bruno Cristian , Oliveira Diógenes Wagner Silveira Esteves de
Published: August 2024

A Constituição brasileira estabelece que o acesso à justiça é um direito fundamental garantido aos cidadãos e que, portanto, não poderia o Poder Judiciário deixar de apreciar lesões ou ameaças de direito que lhe sejam apresentadas. Ocorre, porém, que para o exercício desse direito é precípuo que o Estado estabeleça ferramentas suficientes capazes de poder dar efetividade à tal garantia. Esses instrumentos, todavia, possuem um custo operacional à máquina jurídica estatal e integram anualmente os balanços de gastos públicos. Assim, no presente estudo busca-se através do método hipotético-dedutivo contribuir para uma proposta de análise sobre tais custos diante de uma perspectiva econômica a fim de, ao final, ponderar sobre a efetividade das ferramentas utilizadas pelo Estado.
A REGULAÇÃO DA ATIVIDADE SECURITÁRIA COMO ESTIMULADORA DO LIVRE COMÉRCIO E DO DESENVOLVIMENTO ECONÔMICO
Authors: Moraes Vitor Storch de
Published: August 2024

O artigo contém a abordagem da atividade de seguros no Brasil e sua regulamentação que, como regra é rigorosa e em constante fluxo entre aumento de exigências e redução de obrigações, ora para estimular o mercado, ora para manter o sistema seguro e estável. Tal modelo de negócio regulado não é exclusividade pátria, mas regra em todos os países que buscam um mercado desenvolvido tanto para o segurador quanto para o segurado. Em primeira análise, a ideia de regulação parece incompatível com o liberalismo econômico ou com um capitalismo mais potencializado, parecendo ideia de pensadores estatizantes, socialistas, defensores de um estado interventor. Estudou-se o porquê de tal pensamento não estar de acordo com a realidade fática, analisando-se este mercado (securitário), verificando-se a ligação entre regulação e liberalismo, entre intervenção, fiscalização e fortalecimento do capitalismo, quando o assunto é o mercado de seguros. Verificou-se se a regulação atual é suficiente e se possui as ferramentas necessárias à manutenção da higidez do sistema securitário nacional, mormente em face das atuais mudanças tecnológicas. Utilizou-se o método dedutivo, partindo da norma posta, com análise de sua localização no sistema jurídico e a verificação de seu uso adequado ou não. Foi adotada a linha de pesquisa teórica qualitativa, com análise de fontes bibliográficas, de leis e normas infralegais. Concluiu-se que a regulação, inclusive a autorregulação, e uma efetiva fiscalização, são essenciais ao desenvolvimento da sociedade, não sendo contrárias, mas benéficas ao estágio atual do sistema capitalista.

Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh reward recognition terhadap employee engagement pada karyawan divisi Sales PT X. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa H0 ditolak dan H1 diterima, dengan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,000 (p < 0,05). Hal ini mengindikasikan adanya pengaruh signifikan reward recognition terhadap employee engagement. Temuan lainnya mengungkap bahwa pengaruh reward recognition terhadap employee engagement adalah sebesar 29%, sedangkan 71% sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain. Faktor-faktor lain yang mempengaruhi reward recognition meliputi: (1) Kesesuaian reward dengan kebutuhan karyawan, (2) Konsistensi dalam pemberian reward dan recognition, (3) transparansi dan keterbukaan, serta (4) recognition atas kontribusi yang signifikan (Latham & Pinder, 2005). Karyawan di divisi Sales PT X umumnya memiliki tingkat employee engagement dan reward recognition yang tinggi, dimana karyawan dengan reward recognition lebih tinggi cenderung memiliki employee engagement yang lebih tinggi, dan sebaliknya. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan agar penelitian selanjutnya mempertimbangkan faktor lain selain reward recognition, seperti variabel in role dan extra role behavior, serta menambahkan indikator dan referensi yang lebih beragam untuk memperluas cakupan penelitian, khususnya dalam konteks industri yang lebih luas.
