The AI and Quantum Era: Transforming Project Management Practices
Authors: Aliyev Ali
Published: January 2025

Project management is changing drastically due to the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing (QC), redefining traditional methods. This study explores Quantum AI (QAI) and AI-driven solutions to tackle enduring issues, including resource inefficiencies, schedule delays, and budget overruns. These technologies significantly enhance project outcomes by leveraging predictive analytics, dynamic scheduling, and high-dimensional optimization. A comparative analysis of prominent case studies, including the Crossrail Project, East Side Access, and the Montreal Olympics, highlights the superior performance of AI and QAI techniques compared to conventional methods. The study shows that QAI can cut delays by 60%, optimize resource allocation with 83% efficiency, and eliminate cost overruns by up to 40% using Monte Carlo simulations and Failure Mode Effects Analysis. These results demonstrate that quantum artificial intelligence is a ground-breaking tool for handling intricate, interconnected project settings. Additionally, this study emphasizes how QAI is scalable and applicable across industries, especially in fields that need real-time optimization and high-dimensional data processing. The proposed hybrid quantum-classical paradigm provides practical solutions and sets a benchmark for efficiency, scalability, and risk mitigation in project management.

Aim of the study The purpose of this in vitro study was to analyse the influence of various types zirconia copings on flexural strength of zirconia frameworks designated for posterior tooth-supported fixed dental prostheses. Materials and methods Zirconia samples (Pre-sintered Zirconia, 3Y-TZP, NOVAZir® ST, Novadent, Hamburg, Germany) were designed as three-unit bridge infrastructures, replacing the first right lower molar. The samples (n=4) were divided into two testing groups: the first group included two samples with copings having even thickness of 0.6mm (coded P1 and P2), and second group (coded P3 and P4) comprised modified copings with thickness varying from 0.80-0.84mm in specific occlusal-axial areas. The cross sectional area of all connectors was established at 9mm² with an elliptical shape. Mechanical tests (three-point flexural tests) were conducted on all samples using a universal testing machine. Results The evaluation of zirconia samples’ mechanical behaviour revealed group-depended differences: zirconia samples with modified copings demonstrated higher flexural strength in the applied mechanical tests (0.894kN for P3 and 1.109kN for P4) compared to zirconia samples with even coping thickness (0.561kN for P1 and 0.772kN for P2). Conclusions Modified zirconia copings have shown potential as an alternative to enhance the flexural strength of zirconia infrastructures, and could provide a more suitable support and an even thickness for veneering ceramic.

Published: January 2025

Aim of the study. The purpose of this article was to review current confirmation on opinion, risk assessment, and prevention, compare the implications of fixed braces and invisible aligners, and evaluate possible implications on periodontal status. Material and methods. A manual literature search was performed using the PubMed, Wolters Kluwer, and Cochrane databases. For evaluation keywords such as “invisible aligners” and “periodontal health” in different combinations were used during the study methodology. Results. The comparison at the baseline (T0) showed increased bleeding on probing BOP in the fixed orthodontic group, supporting that when no adequate information is provided to the patients, poorer oral hygiene can be observed in patients wearing multibracket appliances. The periodontal parameters, like plaque index PI showed beat values in T2 compared to T0 and T1 in the fixed orthodontic appliance group, while the clear aligners group showed an increase in PI value in T2 compared to T0. Conclusions. The groups treated with Clear aligner appear to be facilitated in hygiene procedures and therefore patients with periodontal problems are more directed to be treated with clear aligners in order to avoid further risks to the periodontium.

Aim of the study Orthodontic mini-implants, are devices that are temporarily attached to the jaws bones in order to improve orthodontic anchorage and to facilitate tooth movements. The aim of this study is to evaluate the biomechanical properties, namely, the insertion torque of 2 types of orthodontic mini-implants used intraorally for different periods of time. The secondary objective is to compare their properties with the new, unused mini-implants of same type and to correlate the intraoral use time with changing parameters. Material and methods The present study included a total of 51 orthodontic mini-implants, from two different manufacturers, Yesanchor OrlusTM (conical) and Link MIS TM (cylindrical), both having the same dimension 1.6 x 8 mm. These two types of mini-implants were divided into GC-control group: GCY (n=5), GCM (n=5) and GI-group used intraorally, the latter was divided according to the period of intraoral use in: GIY1 ≤ 12 months (n=10), GIY2≥ 12 months (n=15), GIM1 ≤ 12 months (n=7), GIM2 ≥ 12 months (n=9). In order to test the insertion torque, all the samples from the GI groups (n=41) were inserted in high-density artificial bone. Results The maximum insertion torque values for Yesanchor mini-implants varied from 35.58 Ncm to 42.34 Ncm and for MIS mini-implants from 19.44 Ncm to 25.36 Ncm. Significant decrease of the intraorally used mini-implants maximum insertion torque was demonstrated both for the Yesanchor group (p 0.05) and MIS group (p 0.05). Regarding the intraorally usage time, the differences were not significant. Conclusions Our study showed that there exist differences in maximum insertion torque between the mini-implants from two different manufacturers. We observed a decrease of the maximum insertion torque for the group of mini-implants used intraorally compared to the Control Group.

Aim: To assess the distribution and severity of dental caries and association with demographic factors in children with severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) in a university pedodontic clinic. Methods: A retrospective observational descriptive study was performed, analyzing the dental files of 165 Caucasian patients (96 boys), with mean age=3.79±10.15 years, diagnosed with S-ECC within the Pedodontics Department, Carol Davila University, Bucharest, during 2007- 2017. Caries experience indices (dmft/s, SiC), restorative index (RI) and distribution and severity of carious lesions were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 20.0 program, using ANOVA and t-test (p=0.05). Results: Caries experience indices: dmft=9.16±4.18; dmfs=20.66±10.94; dmftboys=8.98±4.14; dmftgirls=9.42±4.26 (p=0.5079); dmfsboys=20.31±10.66; dmfsgirls=21.14±11.39 (p=0.6351); dmftcapital=9.06±4.08; dmftsuburbs=9.51±4.57 (p=0.5909); dmfscapital=20.43±11.61; dmfssuburbs=21.46±8.34 (p=0.5492); SiC=14.02±2.80; SiCboys=13.81±2.78, and SiCgirls=14.22±3.00 (p=0.6129). RI value was 0.80%. From 3163 studied teeth, 1651 (52.20%) were caries-free, 1487 (47.01%) had caries lesions, 13 (0.41%) were missing, and 12 (0.38%) were filled. The upper incisors (37.26%), followed by the first molar teeth (27.44%) were the most frequently affected teeth. 135 (81.82%) children had at least one complicated caries, while 30 (18.18%) had only uncomplicated ones. 35 (21.21%) children had caries on primary teeth, including the lower front teeth and 130 (78.79%) had caries on primary teeth, except for the lower front teeth; Conclusion: The children examined showed high values of decayed teeth/surfaces, most of them had complicated caries and a very small percentage had treated lesions and extracted teeth. It is important to develop preventive programs for toddlers and preschool children, as well as regular dental check-ups established as close as possible to the eruption of the first primary tooth in order to avoid the onset of this pattern of caries.

Introduction. The pneumatized cavities of the skull are characterized by the presence of numerous anatomical variants. Among these, the aberrant pneumatization of the middle turbinate is noteworthy, both in terms of prevalence and in terms of clinical resounding. The identification of this anomaly can be achieved clinically through anterior or posterior rhinoscopy, but the diagnostic gold standard is represented by spiral computer tomography (CT) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. Our study aims to determine the prevalence of concha bullosa (CB) in the Romanian population and to observe the distribution of the anomaly according to sex and age groups. Secondarily, we propose a new clinical classification based on the morphological appearance of concha bullosa. The selected cases will be distributed according to this new classification. Thirdly, we will study the association of concha bullosa with rhinosinusitis. Materials and methods. Our retrospective randomized study included 105 CT scans of non-traumatic patients (mean 60.34 ± 20.48 years) who underwent cranio-cerebral examinations between 01.07.2023 - 31.12.2023 in the Iasi Clinical Rehabilitation Hospital. Results. Concha bullosa was identified in 57 patients out of 106 (53.77%). Among them, 30 (28.3%) had the bilateral form and 27 (25.47%) the unilateral form. The applied statistical tests demonstrated a uniform distribution by age and gender groups. Within the classification proposed by us, we have identified all nine subtypes. Between subtypes I (A, B, C) and subtypes II (A, B, C), we recorded statistical significance (p = 0.00092), with the predominance of the lamellar type over the bulbous type. Conclusions. Concha bullosa has a high prevalence in the studied cohort. It does not show variations related to age or sex, which supports the malformative origin. The classification proposed by us ensures a better picture of the local mass effect determined by CB.

The study presents an assessment of surgical and drug management of periodontal complications during pregnancy, with a focus on the impact of these interventions on pregnant women's oral health and fetal development. Management dedicated to periodontal complications during pregnancy can help improve the oral health of pregnant women and reduce the risk of associated obstetric complications. These findings support the need to integrate periodontal treatment into prenatal care to improve both maternal and fetal health. Women with pre-existing periodontal disease may experience a worsening of their condition during pregnancy, with potential repercussions on overall health. Understanding the hormonal effects and risks associated with periodontal complications during pregnancy is essential to implement appropriate management strategies and ensure proper oral care during this delicate period. Preventive management and prompt treatment can significantly contribute to maintaining periodontal health and reducing risks to the mother and fetus. Vitamin complexes, especially vitamin C, are essential for the functioning of the immune system and contribute to the synthesis of collagen, a protein important for tissue health, including gums. Adequate levels of vitamin C can help heal gum tissues and reduce inflammation.

Myopia is a current worldwide problem, due to a marked increase in its prevalence, all the more important in the age of monitors and working predominantly indoors. This impacts in particular on visual acuity and thus on quality of life, individual performance, with consequences for the labour market and economic implications for public health services. Consequently, much research is focused on modifying the factors that determine the onset and especially the progression of myopia, using various methods, such as the use of anticholinergic agents, the use of progressive lenses (aerial or contact), orthokeratology, refractive surgery techniques, each of which has varying degrees of effectiveness.
The aim of this paper is to highlight the association between myopia progression and environmental and occupational factors, and to review currently available strategies for reducing myopia progression.

Maxillofacial injuries are a major preventable and epidemic public health problem worldwide; they are increasing significantly in the population, affecting both physically and mentally millions of people, and overburdening health systems. The aim of the study is to assess the forensic aspects (cause, mode of occurrence and outcome) in relation to demographic parameters (age, gender, residence). Material and methods: 153 cases were selected between January 2021 and December 2022 from the database of the Emergency and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery departments of the "Sf. Spiridon" Hospital in Iasi. Data collected included demographics, mechanism of trauma, mode of injury, treatment and evolution. Comparisons of the collected data were made based on age, gender, and residence. Results: Male subjects presenting a higher number of traumatic injuries and of greater severity compared to female subjects. Cause of traumas: assault (61.4%), vehicle accidents (24.8%) falls from height (3.3%) or injuries caused by animals (4.6%). 61.4% of traumas were mandibular fractures, followed by maxillary fractures (27.5%), nasal pyramid fractures (2.7%), and the fewest were frontal bone fractures (0.7%). Dental avulsion (17.6%) , soft tissue contusions (10.5%), dental dislocations and hematomas (3.3%) were injuries associated with the main lesion. 75.2% of injuries benefited from surgical treatment, while 24.8% were treated conservatively. 95.4% of cases, the evolution was favorable. Conclusions: Maxillofacial trauma frequently presents in emergency departments as a common injury. Globally, maxillofacial injuries constitute a major public health concern. Affecting millions both physically and mentally, these injuries significantly burden healthcare systems around the world.

Aim of the study The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of two primary stability measurement tools: insertion torque value and the stability coefficient using resonance frequency analysis with the ISQ (Implant Stability Quotient) in the therapeutic decision for the immediate loading of dental implants anchored in the golden quadrilateral of the maxillary bone.
Material and methods 22 patients presenting with total edentation or advanced periodontal disease were consulted and operated in a private oral surgery clinic. A total of 110 conical- shaped implants were inserted. Results The average ISQ scale value for implant 1.1 was higher in the control group but it did not reach statistical significance between the two statistically analyzed groups. The average ISQ scale value for implant 1.4 was higher in the test group, compared to the control group, showing statistically significant significance. Patients in the control group associated a higher average value for the ISQ scale in the case of implant 2.4 , being a statistically significant parameter in our study group. The average insertion torque value for the implant was higher in the test group of patients at implant 1.1, implant 1.4 and implant 2.4 .
Conclusions The insertion torque, along with the resonance frequency analysis, serve as tools for measuring primary stability. In our study, both groups exhibited adequate primary stability for immediate prosthetic loading, but the distal implants anchored in the golden quadrilateral of the maxilla showed a significant value.

Background: This research approaches chronic viral hepatitis in children from a multidisciplinary point of view, the disease being considered a great burden. (2) Methods: We conducted a 4-year observational prospective study, analyzing socio-economic status of pediatric patients diagnosed with chronic viral hepatitis B or C. (3) Results: In total, 159 patients were included. Only 66% of school-aged children were attending classes. Regarding the monthly income per family, 49% had less than 1000 RON (5 RON = 1$), of which 17% had no income. The average years of study for mothers was 7.8, for fathers it was 8.2. For 17 % of children, at least one of the parents was illiterate, for 5.6 %, both. For one third of patients, both parents were unemployed. Water facilities or sewerage were not available for 38.4% of children, and 32 % used personal objects (scissors, nail clippers) in common. (4) Conclusions: The socio-economic level can have a significant impact on disease epidemiology (infectiousness) and access to treatment, and it is tightly related to educational level and access to information, which are critical factors in disease prevention through general and specific measures and in disease management (treating infected patients and limiting the transmission).

This article delves into the intricate relationship between stress, dental anxiety, and the variability in local anesthesia response, elucidating its impact on pain management and treatment outcomes in dentistry. Stress-induced physiological changes, exacerbated by anxiety, significantly influence pain perception and anesthesia efficacy, posing challenges for dental practitioners. Our work highlights the multifaceted effects of anxiety on anesthesia delivery, patient experiences, and treatment compliance, emphasizing the importance of tailored interventions to mitigate stress responses and optimize pain control. Strategies for managing dental fear and avoidance, including personalized approaches, technological innovations, and interdisciplinary collaboration, offer promising avenues for improving patient care and addressing the complex challenges associated with anxiety in the dental setting. By prioritizing patient-centered care and integrating psychological support into dental practice, practitioners can foster a supportive environment conducive to overcoming fear, enhancing treatment outcomes, and promoting oral health and well-being.

Bacterial decontamination of root canals can be improved by directly irradiating the dentinal walls with dental lasers or by irradiating/activating the irrigation solutions, the laser having an indirect clinical action. Inside the root canal, laser irradiation produces a thermal effect on the dentine walls and bacteria, which generates unwanted side effects, if the therapeutic protocol is not followed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the root canal walls by stereomicroscopic ex-amination, after their chemo-mechanical instrumentation and conventional laser irradiation. For this study, 35 palatal roots of upper first molars were used. For some of the palatal canals, con-ventional laser irradiation was performed using a diode laser with a wavelength of 980 nm and two different irradiation protocols. The root canal walls were examined stereomicroscopically at different degrees of magnification. The study demonstrated the effectiveness of the stereomicro-scope in examining the walls of prepared and laser irradiated root canals. Areas of morphological alteration were identified and measured on the walls of the root canals for which the irradiation protocol was not applied correctly.

Aim of the study The goal of our study was represented by the analysis of the effects of different concentrations of platelet-rich plasma extracts on the degree of senescence of dermal fibroblasts (by evaluating β-galactosidase) in the presence of metformin and rapamycin. Material and methods Rat dermal fibroblasts from storage were cultivated using conventional laboratory protocols and subsequently assessed for β-galactosidase expression. Then, we used PRP gel in a concentration of 1% and 5%, administered in the culture medium of fibroblasts for 5 cell passages. Moreover, the pharmacologic active substances we used for the various experiments and protocols were metformin (1 µM) and rapamycin (1 µM). Results The results obtained demonstrate that PRP 1% has the effect of transforming fibroblasts into younger cells, especially in the presence of metformin, a programmer of energy metabolism, and then rapamycin, an autophagy stimulator and mTOR pathway activator. It should be noted that a concentration of 5% PRP in the culture medium of fibroblasts for 5 passages has the opposite effect, of their biochemical aging. Conclusions The results obtained demonstrate that PRP 1% has the effect of transforming fibroblasts into younger cells, especially in the presence of metformin and then rapamycin. Moreover, the hormetic effects were demonstrated in the case of platelet-rich plasma concerning cultured fibroblasts.
CHANGES IN NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON BONE MASS
Authors: Balanuca Daniela , Silişteanu Sînziana-Călina , Costea Andrei-Ioan
Published: January 2025

Our study discusses the impact of dietary changes on nutritional status and bone mass, emphasizing the importance of balanced nutrition for overall health. Extreme diets with severely restricted calorie intake relative to physical activity levels pose risks of bone loss and other health complications. Therefore, any weight loss regimen should prioritize a balanced mix of macronutrients and micronutrients to ensure optimal nutrient intake. A low-calorie diet, enriched with essential nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, protein, and minerals, can positively influence bone mass by creating a calorie deficit. This deficit prompts the body to burn fat, leading to a redistribution of body mass and reduced pressure on the skeletal system, which benefits bone health. A study conducted demonstrates a significant reduction in body mass following a low-calorie diet intervention, resulting in increased bone mass post-intervention. This confirms the hypothesis that adopting a hypocaloric dietary plan can positively impact final bone mass values. Overall, maintaining an optimal body weight is essential for preserving bone health and underscores the importance of balanced nutrition in achieving this goal.

Published: January 2025

Dental enamel is an essential structure of teeth, protecting the dentin and the dental nerve sensitive to external stimuli. Certain foods eaten can adversely affect tooth enamel, including food dyes used in colored foods and beverages. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of staining (immersion in blueberry, orange, pomegranate juice, carmoisine, tartrazine, and brilliant blue solution) and discoloration (immersion in strawberry and apple juice) on tooth enamel. Also, the impact of time and the pH of the solutions on the staining and discoloration of the tooth enamel will be investigated. Material and methods: Twenty-four human teeth were extracted for orthodontic reasons. Results: The study indicates that prolonged and frequent exposure to food dyes can cause staining or discoloration of tooth enamel, especially when used in high concentrations. The statistical analysis indicates that natural dyes are absorbed faster and color more intensely than synthetic ones, but at the same time, there is a much easier discoloration than synthetic ones, which may be due to the acidic pH. Conclusions: Food dyes can have a negative impact on tooth enamel, causing discoloration, damage, and other changes in its appearance and integrity.

Authors: Khudur Hussein Riyadh Khudur , Fadhil Luay Qasim
Published: January 2025

Since it impacts airlines' capacity to sustain their capacities in the aircraft sector market, air cooperation and its different processes are regarded as significant issues at the level of air transport firms. Furthermore, the legal aspect of these alliances is given a lot of attention due to the various legal interferences of the countries whose airlines are part of the alliance. This adds a legal complexity to the contracts that are concluded, especially since these alliances deal with companies that are nationals of different countries. These international commercial contracts are unique in two ways: first, they are connected to the transportation sector market and the significant changes that always take place in it because of their relationship with governments and international agreements; second, they are connected to businesses that have strong economic capabilities that set them apart from others. Importance of the research: The research's significance lies in creating a concept for these air alliances for the Iraqi transport industry, determining how closely they relate to the financial aspects of transport companies, examining the key mechanisms used in this collaboration, and thoroughly identifying the most significant of these alliances. Research Problem:  The lack of organizational plans and internal instructions for the transportation sector and Iraqi Airways to reach organizational mechanisms that would contribute to their entry into these air cooperations.

The Urgent Need for Blue Bond Regulation in Indonesia
Authors:   Law Faculty of Wijaya Putra University, Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia, Endarto Budi
Published: January 2025

Indonesia, in collaboration with the UNDP, issued a sovereign blue bond in May 2023, valued at JPY 20.7 billion, to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This bond, launched on the Japanese capital market, aims to promote sustainable marine ecosystems and the blue economy. This study investigates the need for blue bond regulation in Indonesia, advocating for the enforcement of international commitments and agreements. Using normative exploratory legal research with statutory and conceptual approaches, the study employs the legal convergence theory. The findings highlight the urgent need to regulate blue bonds in Indonesia and suggest that international treaties on blue bonds can be integrated into Indonesian law without conflicting with the 1945 Constitution. The study recommends the prompt preparation and ratification of a blue bond law through the harmonization of the relevant international agreements. The agreement related to blue bonds in the Indonesian legal system needs to be aligned with national laws and regulations, following the principles and requirements outlined in relevant international agreements. Alternatively, blue bonds issued by international organizations in Indonesia should ensure not only compliance with international standards, but also contribute to national sustainable development, taking into account international law and national interests.
Integrity and Transparency in the Work of Public Authorities. Aspects of Comparative Public Law
Authors:   „Nicolae Titulescu” University of Bucharest, Romania, Ștefan Elena Emilia
Published: January 2025

Nowadays, there are changes in citizens' perception of public sector activity. In this respect, a new paradigm seems to be emerging in public life, namely that the work of people serving the state apparatus is assessed through a threefold perspective, based on interdisciplinarity: legality-ethics-morality. The scope of the study is to analyze transparency in public administration, starting from Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2001 regarding public access to European Parliament, Council and Commission documents. The study aims to document the issue of transparency in the work of state activity, using the lens of several authorities such as the French High Authority for Transparency in Public Life, the National Transparency Authority of Greece, the Commissioner for Standards in Public Life of Malta and the Chief Official Ethics Commission of Lithuania. The main findings highlight that states have been concerned to establish an institution, whatever its name, with a role in ensuring transparency in public administration and fighting corruption. The composition of the work proposes a structure
consisting of two main directions, national law and international law, and by means of research methods specific to law, it will highlight the idea that access to information is a human right, enshrined in law. The research contributes to the understanding of the topic from a comparative law perspective, by being aware on how legislators in different legal systems approach integrity and transparency in public administration. The analysis shows that lack of transparency can lead to maladministration. The results underline that states have put in place mechanisms to increase trust in state authorities by means of legislation and specially created authorities.

The three main pillars of sustainability are environment, economy, and society. Society, as a component of sustainability, represents a category that is particularly difficult to explain and analyze. This category encompasses a range of values, ideas, and concepts that are widely accepted and desired. Among these, the concepts of constitutionalism and legitimacy are key legal and political constructs that underpin social sustainability. Conversely, legitimacy is a crucial element that ensures the sustainability of constitutionalism. This paper will explore several key questions: Is legitimacy a conditio sine qua non for constitutionalism? Is legitimacy a dynamic and sustainable category? Does legitimacy embody a value that is inherently desirable and beneficial? The study will further examine whether maintaining legitimacy incurs costs and if it is necessary to invest in sustaining this dynamic category. Finally, the paper will discuss whether the idea of legitimacy, as a sustainable resource for constitutionalism, is a necessity or merely a political "ecotopia."

Infection control in dental clinics is a critical aspect of ensuring patient and staff safety, particularly given the high risk of cross-contamination in these settings. This systematic review examines the effectiveness of various infection control measures implemented in dental clinics, including personal protective equipment (PPE), sterilization protocols, environmental cleaning practices, hand hygiene, and aerosol management. A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed studies published between 2016 and 2025 was conducted, adhering to PRISMA guidelines. The findings highlight best practices and emerging technologies that enhance safety and compliance with global standards. Challenges such as cost, staff training, and adherence to protocols are also discussed, providing actionable recommendations for dental practitioners and policymakers. This review underscores the importance of robust infection control strategies in promoting safer dental environments and mitigating risks associated with infectious diseases.

Sunbathing consecutively every day for 15 days is a method to obtain benefits from sunlight. The purpose of this writing is to investigate the impact of sunlight on individuals with hypertension. This research involves a literature study of 15 articles published between 2022 and 2022, utilizing a combination of qualitative, quantitative, and correlation research methods. The findings indicate that 30-40% of hypertension cases take place during adulthood, with risk factors including habitual alcohol consumption leading to addiction, microvascular vasomotion failure triggered by excess sodium, arterial stiffness resulting from a lack of physical exercise, and calcium deficiency affecting peripheral vascular resistance. Sunbathing can result in a localised heating mechanism and an increase in lipid levels, which may lower blood pressure. From a nursing perspective, it is essential to consider the psychological aspects of hypertensive patients during treatment and encourage changes in their behaviour. This is a key aspect of cognitive-behavioural therapy. Conclusion: sunbathing may be a way of harnessing the benefits of sunlight to control blood pressure while encouraging behavioural change through a cognitive-behavioural therapy approach.
