Authors: Villadiego Lorduy Jorge , Tordecilla Correa Orlando , Sepúlveda Vargas Rubén Darío
Published: August 2024

Este estudio evalúa la vulnerabilidad de los cascos urbanos corregimentales de Palo de Agua y Nariño en Santa Cruz de Lorica, Colombia. Se utiliza una metodología mixta que combina entrevistas y estimaciones cuantitativas para la valoración de la vulnerabilidad estructural, no estructural, ecológica y socioeconómica. Se analiza la erosión fluvial en puntos críticos y se estima el riesgo. Los resultados muestran que la vulnerabilidad total media es la categoría de mayor predominancia para ambos territorios (84% en Palo de Agua y 78% en Nariño) debido a la intervención humana en las franjas protectoras, lo que destaca la necesidad de tomar medidas para reducir la intervención y aplicar acciones de prevención y mitigación. La investigación destaca la importancia de abordar la vulnerabilidad en Palo de Agua y Nariño, protegiendo la infraestructura y los medios de vida de las comunidades. En síntesis, se desarrolla una evaluación integral de la vulnerabilidad para las zonas en mención, subrayando la necesidad de acciones concretas para reducir la erosión fluvial y proteger a las comunidades frente a los riesgos naturales.

Authors: Valencia Vélez Ana Carolina
Published: August 2024

La presente investigación desarrolla una aproximación al concepto de riesgo natural que posee la comunidad indígena Embera Katío, así como sus formas de prevención o mitigación en la parcialidad Tatamá, vereda Los Planes, del municipio de Santuario en el departamento de Risaralda. Para lograr este acercamiento se definieron como categorías centrales de investigación: cosmovisión, naturaleza y riesgo natural. Para ello, se inicia con la definición general de cada categoría, y posteriormente se centra el análisis en algunos enfoques teóricos propuestos desde las ciencias naturales, las ciencias sociales y la ecología. Esta investigación posee un enfoque cualitativo, de tipo etnográfico, que permitió identificar la forma en que la comunidad indígena Embera Katío percibe la naturaleza y la relación que ha tenido con ella desde tiempos remotos. Para obtener la información se realizaron entrevistas, grupos focales y la construcción de la cartografía social, con autoridades indígenas (gobernadores), jaibanás (médicos tradicionales) y miembros de la comunidad en general, a través de preguntas circulares que posibilitaron indagar en la memoria histórica de la comunidad sobre aquellos elementos subjetivos de su cosmovisión en relación con las categorías de la investigación. Como conclusión, se puede afirmar que para esta comunidad la percepción de riesgo natural no solo es tenida en cuenta en términos materiales, sino que además se develan elementos espirituales, que configuran la cosmología particular de su visión del mundo.
Ideas de agronegocios para jóvenes que trabajan la cadena panelera en el municipio de Filadelfia (Caldas)
Authors: León Agatón Libardo
Published: August 2024

La producción panelera en el municipio de Filadelfia (Caldas) es un renglón económico que históricamente ha sido desarrollado y promovido por las personas dueñas de los trapiches (centro de producción y transformación), cuyos hijos —jóvenes— no participan activamente del proceso de producción por múltiples razones, entre ellas: el desconocimiento sobre los eslabones de la cadena panelera como oportunidad para crear agronegocios y la creencia de que abandonar sus territorios brinda mejores oportunidades de trabajo. Esta situación motivó una seria investigación acerca de la importancia de formar los jóvenes para potenciar su participación en los negocios familiares, de tal manera que encontraran muchas posibilidades de generar ideas de negocio, que les posibilitara mejorar la situación económica y se arraigaran en sus tierras promoviendo la producción de panela. Se escribe este artículo con el fin de brindar información acerca de la caracterización socioeconómica de la cadena panelera en el municipio de Filadelfia (Caldas), con un enfoque de inclusión de los jóvenes —hombres y mujeres—, que después de formarse a través de talleres, encuentros, trabajos en campo y encuestas de expectativas, mostraron interés en trabajar en la cadena de producción panelera, desde la activación de un sistema agroalimentario localizado (SIAL), la búsqueda de factores que incidan en la creación de agronegocios y la participación de un proceso de mejoramiento para la competitividad, la equidad, la sostenibilidad y gobernanza de la cadena de producción. En esta caracterización socioeconómica de la cadena de producción panelera del municipio de Filadelfia, los jóvenes pudieron determinar que los cuatro eslabones de la cadena panelera: insumos, cultivo, transformación y comercialización, ofrecen para ellos algunas oportunidades de agronegocios como la producción de semillas de caña, las buenas prácticas agrícolas (BPA), la diversificación de la panela y el marketing digital. Se determinó que los jóvenes desean trabajar en sociedades familiares, pero desde el marketing digital, porque pueden crear, innovar y tecnificar los cuatro eslabones de la cadena panelera. El reconocimiento de estas oportunidades brinda a los jóvenes alternativas financieras que les permitirá ser incluidos en el sector panelero.
O acolhimento singular e o cuidado contínuo após a tentativa de suicídio: a contribuição do Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Infantojuvenil
Authors: Bernabé Julia Oliveira , Silva Camila Mariani
Published: August 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: O suicídio ainda é marcado por diversos estigmas e preconceitos que dificultam a compreensão desse problema de saúde pública, impedindo assim a percepção de fatores que possam ser de risco ou de proteção em casos de tentativa de tirar a própria vida. Por isso, a busca de informações pode ser de grande valia no entendimento e permite a criação de estratégias de cuidado desse sujeito em sofrimento psíquico. OBJETIVO: Discutir os processos de cuidado e acolhimento de pessoas em sofrimento mental, devido a tentativa de suicídio, sob a perspectiva de uma estagiária de Psicologia de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Infantojuvenil (CAPSij). MÉTODO: Relato de experiência, de caráter qualitativo, sobre a prática interventiva da Psicologia de um CAPSij em Vitória (ES). RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÃO: A literatura corrobora com os serviços prestados pelo CAPSij em situação de risco de suicídio, tendo em vista as rupturas de visões estigmatizadas que complementam a assistência em saúde, e se tornam um fator de proteção. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: O CAPSij prima pelo cuidado e assistência humanizada não limitante, contribuindo para o fortalecimento desse sujeito em crise suicida como um ser de direitos, trazendo um novo olhar de autonomia, singularidade e protagonismo.
Hidden benefits of snail mucus: A natural skincare marvel
Authors: Bazeer Asbar Banu , Nagarajan Prithiviraj , Gayathiri Ekambaram
Published: August 2024

Dear Editor,From a scientific perspective, snail mucus, or snail secretion filtrate (SSF), has emerged as a significant discovery in dermatology and regenerative medicine. Several studies on mucus composition have illuminated its features in recent years, yet much remains unexplored. High-quality snail mucus contains adequate levels of active substances (e.g., allantoin, glycolic acid, proteins, glycosaminoglycans, and polyphenols). It comprises a complex mixture of proteins, enzymes, peptides, and trace minerals produced both externally and internally, which improves skin hydration, flexibility, and smoothness. This makes it an ideal ingredient for anti-aging creams, moisturizers, and serums. The beauty and pharmaceutical industries popularize commercial SSF products due to their natural composition and scientifically proven performance as a promising dermatological treatment. These products offer synergistic therapeutic effects, including cell signaling, tissue growth, tissue repair, wound healing, hydration, anti-aging properties, and exfoliation.

Bravo workstation: automated single-stranded DNA library preparation (ssDNA2.0) v1
Authors: Nagel Sarah , Schmidt Anna , Aximu Petri Ayinuer , Patova Anya , Szymanski Merlin , Essel Elena , Meyer Matthias
Published: August 2024

We here provide an implementation of the ssDNA2.0 single-stranded library preparation method (Gansauge et al. 2017, Gansauge et al. 2020) for automated liquid handling on the Bravo NGS workstation B in 96-well format. The method was developed primarily for ancient DNA research but is also suitable for library preparation from other sources of degraded or single-stranded DNA, such as cell-free DNA, formalin-fixed samples or synthetic oligonucleotides. To use the protocol, a Bravo NGS workstation is required. Calibration of the instrument for this protocol has to be performed by the user and requires significant expertise in using the platform. Electronic protocol files for the Bravo NGS workstation are provided together with this protocol and a brief description of the steps performed by the liquid handling system, potentially providing a framework for setting the method up on liquid handling systems from other manufacturers. Some of the instructions, for example regarding the documentation and location of files, are specific to the environment and workflows of the Ancient DNA Core Unit of the MPI-EVA and have to be amended in other environments. We strongly advise against manual execution of the protocol, as manual handling lacks the precision of automated liquid handling and may lead to cross-contamination of samples or non-optimal results. For manual ssDNA 2.0 library preparation, please refer to Gansauge et al. 2020. Note that the adapter sequences added with this method differ from standard Illumina adapters by a 5-bp deletion in the P5-adapter, requiring a custom sequencing primer (see Gansauge et al. 2020). This protocol consists of two parts: (i) library preparation, with or without Uracil-DNA-glycosylase treatment for the removal of internal uracils from ancient DNA molecules, and (ii) library quantification by quantitative real-time PCR. A protocol for library amplification and indexing is provided separately. References Gansauge, M.-T., Gerber, T., Glocke, I., Korlevic, P., Lippik, L., Nagel, S., Riehl, L.

With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, their popularity is growing. Such systems are used in many areas, from customer analytics and search engines to voice assistants and medical research. The tasks assigned to the systems are becoming more and more complex, and therefore artificial intelligence often needs to operate on confidential data; the results of the system's operation can have large-scale consequences. This creates a new problem: the problem of trusted artificial intelligence. The authors set the goal of systematizing knowledge about possible threats and vulnerabilities associated with the use of AI technologies, analyzing existing standards in this area, and also identifying and describing relevant technologies that can increase confidence in the use of intelligent systems.

In December 2022, an article was published on the implementation of the Shore algorithm in China on a quantum computer, where a 48-bit number was factorized and a prediction was made about the possibility of decomposing the RSA-2048 number using a similar technique. In this article, based on the experimental results presented in it, some conclusions are drawn about the possibility of practical use of the Shor algorithm and similar algorithms on quantum computers for attacks on information security systems based on solving integer factorization and discrete logarithm problems. The question of the dependence of the accuracy of calculations on the number of qubits in the system used and the depth of the program (the number of consecutive quantum operations on a quantum system) is considered. A brief overview of the history of the emergence and development of quantum key distribution technology, as well as other crypto protocols based on the physical properties of switching networks, is presented. A comparison is made with similar technologies in digital cryptography. In some cases, the advantage of the latter is shown in their ease of use, performance and provable durability.

Published: August 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo encontrar parâmetros para que se possa determinar quando o ativismo judicial deixa o âmbito da argumentação jurídica e se transforma em instrumento para controle dos demais poderes. Para tanto, é necessário definir um possível conceito de ativismo judicial e suas origens no ordenamento jurídico. Em seguida, são analisados os elementos fundamentais que caracterizam a racionalidade jurídica e o que poderia ocasionar em controle dos demais poderes. Em termos gerais, estuda-se critérios que permitam a definição do que seria um ativismo judicial positivo, em detrimento da sua espécie nociva à ordem constitucional. Em termos de metodologia, o método científico adotado pode ser sintetizado em pesquisa bibliográfica descritiva e documental, tendo como fontes a referente jurisprudência e a doutrina aplicada.
O Acordo de Não Persecução Penal (ANPP) e a figura do Soberano
Authors: Scremin Neto Ferdinando , Aufiero Mário Jumbo Miranda , Thamay Rennan Faria Kruger
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo tem a finalidade de demonstrar o acordo de Não Persecução Penal (ANPP) como Direito subjetivo do Réu, demonstrando a inconsistência jurisprudencial, sobretudo pelo Superior Tribunal de Justiça, quanto à natureza do instituto, bem como dos critérios objetivos estipulados na Lei do Pacote Anticrime. Por meio de conceitos-chave em relação ao intérprete do Direito e ao soberano do ordenamento jurídico político, oriundos da filosofia política de Carl Schimitt e Hans Kelsen, demonstrou-se a faceta do ativismo judicial, mesmo em interpretação literal da lei, da necessidade da aplicação do instituto penal aos que fizerem jus aos critérios estabelecidos em lei, mesmo em resistência do poder judiciário em reconhecê-lo. A pesquisa foi conduzida pelo método indutivo, com revisão bibliográfica doutrinária, jurisprudencial e lei seca. Ao final, demonstra-se a impossibilidade do Ministério Público em não ofertar a ANPP, sendo reconhecidamente um direito subjetivo do réu e não uma faculdade do múnus do parquet

The Connection Between Emotional Intelligence, the Level of Loneliness and Characteristics of Attitudes towards Parents in Adolescence
Authors: Degtyarev A.V. , Chivileva S.D. , Kuptsova D.M.
Published: August 2024

This article examines the connections between emotional intelligence, the level of loneliness and the characteristics of adolescents’ relationships with their parents. Adolescence is characterized by significant emotional changes that affect adolescents’ social relationships and self-esteem. The study is based on theoretical concepts of emotional intelligence, the phenomenon of loneliness and child-parent relationships, developed by both domestic and foreign psychologists. In the empirical part of the work, methods of psychodiagnostic research and correlation analysis were used to identify relationships between the parameters under study. The study involved 76 people aged 12 to 16 years. The results show that high levels of emotional intelligence in adolescents are associated with low levels of loneliness and positive relationships with parents. There is also a positive correlation between subjective feelings of loneliness and the hostility of both parents, and a negative correlation between subjective feelings of loneliness in adolescence and parents’ positive interest in their children.

It is shown that plastic flow in solids emerges in a localized manner at a macroscopic scale of ~10−2 m. Localized plastic flow zones form patterns of localized strain, which are the projection of the autowave processes of plastic flow, developing in the bulk of the material, onto the specimen surface under study. The speckle photography method was chosen as a source of information about the kinetics of plastic deformation. A common feature of localized plastic flow in solids is the elastic-plastic invariant of deformation, which combines the typical characteristics of localized plastic flow autowaves with those of elastic waves in a crystal lattice. The invariant ratio is defined for nearly forty various materials (BCC, FCC, and HCP metals and alloys, alkali-halide crystals, ceramics, and rocks) under active tension and compression in a temperature range of 143 to 420 K. The origin of the invariant and its relation to other physical characteristics of the crystal lattice, e.g. the Debye temperature, is discussed in physical terms. Besides, numerous corollaries of the elastoplastic invariant are derived, enabling one to describe adequately the regularities of plastic flow. This, in turn, makes it possible to consider the elastic-plastic invariant of deformation as the main equation of the currently developing autowave approach to the physical theory of plastic deformation.

The aim of this research is to determine the adopter category rate of patients utilizing telehealth channels, with their corresponding perceived attribute value or the factors that seek to explain how, why and at what rate the technology (in this case telehealth) can be adopted. It was conducted using mixed methods technique. A survey questionnaire anchored on the Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) Theory was deployed to obtain quantitative measures in identifying rate of adopters and the scales corresponding to their perceived attribute value. After which a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was held to validate the descriptive statistical results and to further understand the link between perceived innovation attributes and the intention to adopt telehealth e-consultations, as proposed by the diffusion of innovationstheory. Furthermore, results from the Focus Group Discussion(FGD) paved for interpretation and understanding of otherfactors influencing individuals to use telehealth e-consultationsin the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is interesting tonote that early adopters to late majority have also adoptedtelehealth primarily due to the social circumstances (fear ofacquiring the virus) but would still prefer traditional face toface consultations if permitted -which explains and validatescompatibility/trialability as their resulting perceived attributevalue. Telehealth innovation adoption (e-consultation) ofnumerous clinics have rendered significant efforts on their useand utilization of telemedicine since the coronavirus epidemicbegan last March 2020. A greater emphasis on patientexperience, providing a relative benefit of healthcare, andconserving expenses, time, and energy has been ascribed toincrease telehealth adoption and implementation.

Nas últimas décadas, a relação entre arquivos, Arquivologia e direitos humanos tem sido tema frequente de trabalhos técnicos, publicações e eventos, tanto no Brasil, quanto no exterior. Em que pese a expansão desta temática no campo, ainda é baixa sua incidência no ensino da área. Tendo em vista este panorama, o presente ensaio tem por objetivo analisar a presença/ausência de conteúdos e componentes curriculares vinculados aos direitos humanos nos cursos de Arquivologia do Brasil e seus atravessamentos. O ensaio baseia-se em um conjunto de perguntas provocadoras a respeito do tema: por que ensinar direitos humanos em cursos de Arquivologia? Como os cursos de Arquivologia do Brasil estão trabalhando com a temática dos direitos humanos? Quais os desafios para o ensino de arquivos, Arquivologia e direitos humanos? E quais são suas perspectivas? A partir destas reflexões,o ensaio visa contribuir para os sempre necessários debates a respeito da estruturação e reforma de projetos pedagógicos e matrizes curriculares dos cursos de Arquivologia do país.
Cidadanias de “Papel”:
Authors: Leal da Silva Flavio
Published: August 2024

A invisibilidade social dos documentos e dos arquivos constitui-se em uma das maiores  dificuldades da formação de arquivistas tecnicamente competentes,  socialmente comprometidos  e politicamente conscientes do lugar que ocupam nas relações de poder que operacionalizam a partir das atividades técnicas de gestão de documentos administrativos. Para ajudar na superação destas dificuldades, propomos viabilizar leituras mais complexas que, não limitando-se aos parâmetros estritamente disciplinares da Arquivologia,  permitam uma reflexão interdisciplinar consciente como necessária aos diagnósticos e às proposições das   soluções dos problemas técnicos  com os quais se deparem.  Compreendendo que os fenômenos sociais resultam de atores institucionais e interesses diversos, via de regra externos a unidade administrativa na qual atuam, serão capazes de conquistar uma consciência ético-profissional que justifique não apenas um  exercício profissional técnico competente, mas também  uma consciência de que a extensão e  as complexidades das origens dos problemas que enfrentam resultam, assim como as ações para corrigi-los, de dimensões políticas, mais do que das limitações técnicas dos profissionais envolvidos. Assim, conjugando as questões teóricas com as demandas do cotidiano das pessoas por diferentes tipos de documentos, cremos poder contribuir para a conquista de uma consciência que permita aos alunos identificarem-se não apenas como protagonistas de relevância social que os incentivem a investirem numa formação técnica competente e politicamente comprometida, mas que também sejam capazes de criarem alternativas de diálogos com os movimentos sociais, as instituições e as pessoas sobre o  lugar  dos documentos, dos registros, dos arquivos como equipamentos sociais fundamentais, e dos arquivistas  como sujeitos políticos imprescindíveis nas conquistas de uma sociedade mais justa, democrática e humana.
Um passo por vez:

Published: August 2024

Um dos slogans retóricos na área de arquivologia na África do Sul era “levar os arquivos ao povo” e a necessidade de tirar os arquivos públicos do domínio da elite e transformá-los em um recurso comunitário por meio de arquivos inclusivos. Este slogan foi cunhado desde a consolidação da democracia de forma a manifestar a convicção de que o poder modelador dos arquivos deveria ser usado para promover os arquivos como ferramenta para a reconciliação, a coesão social e a construção da nação.  Devido ao financiamento limitado, a euforia em torno do slogan diminuiu, uma vez que poucas medidas foram adotadas. Este artigo adotou a revisão da literatura, experiências pessoais e visitas ao Museu Comrades House para explorar a possibilidade de transformar arquivos ao incluir as vozes silenciadas nos sistemas arquivísticos nacionais, como memórias de atletas de eventos de corrida, como a Comrades Marathon (Maratona dos Camaradas). O artigo argumenta que isto é possível porque a legislação arquivística sul-africana permite a coleta de registros não públicos valiosos para o país, a fim de preencher lacunas que surgiram da era colonial. O documento recomenda que as instituições arquivísticas da África do Sul considerem a incorporação de memórias de atletas, principalmente de vencedores de maratonas como a Comrades Marathon, para dar um passo em direção à memória inclusiva. Neste sentido, mesmo que a Associação Comrades Marathon colete e digitalize essas memórias usando fotografias e outros itens, como os tênis e camisetas dos vencedores, o acervo pode ser incluído no portal do arquivo nacional acessado via AToM. Isto pode fazer com que esse acervo seja disponibilizado gratuitamente através de uma licença Creative Commons. Desta forma, a acessibilidade poderia ser bastante simplificada e facilitada a usuários de todo o mundo. Por fim, os repositórios de arquivos deveriam começar a colher memórias de eventos internacionais realizados na África do Sul, tais como os Jogos Pan-Africanos de 1999, a Copa do Mundo de Rugby de 1995 e a Copa do Mundo da FIFA de 2010. Os registros desses eventos podem ser coletados junto a pessoas e órgãos públicos, a fim de construir e complementar os arquivos do país. Consequentemente, o país dará um passo em direção a arquivos inclusivos e mais pessoas poderão demonstrar interesse nesses arquivos, uma vez que os acervos refletirão a diversidade.
Records and Social Domination: Historical Background
Authors: Delgado-Gomez Alejandro
Published: August 2024

In this article we start from the thesis, consolidated at the beginning of the twenty-first century, that there are links between domination systems and records systems, to propose a genealogical review of these concepts and some other associated ones. First, we approach the codification of bureaucracy carried out by Max Weber in 1922. Second, we return to the ancient Tabularium of Rome and, from it, to the German theory of the ius archivi. Thirdly, we review the texts in which Michel Foucault identified the mechanisms of surveillance and punishment, as well as the ordering of discourse. Next, we return to the vision that Jean Baudrillard exposed about the culture of simulacrum in contemporary societies. We end with the identification, short and quickly, of some ideas whose validity should be checked against the digital environments in which we currently operate.
Teaching accessibility in Archival Science courses in Brazil: a formative analysis of the curriculum
Authors: Rodrigues Rangel Thayron , Maria Velloso de Oliveira Lúcia
Published: August 2024

As a human condition that involves several dimensions of life, disabilities require knowledge and action from agencies and entities to meet the biopsychosocial and informational needs of users of public products and services.  In this sense, accessibility fulfills the role of providing access to documents and information, by means of the adoption of assistive technologies, universal design and implementation of programs and institutional actions that aim at the entrance and permanence in institutional spaces. It starts from a humanitarian bias which is part of social commitments included in a global agenda for the protection of disabled people's rights, such as the United Nations' Agenda 2030 and the standards ISO 26000 – Social Responsibility and ABNT NBR 16001 – Social Responsibility – Management System – Requirements. This paper aims to identify the existence or lack of interest and formalization in the teaching of accessibility and related themes – access, users, and social inclusion – in undergraduate courses of selected Archival Science programs in Brazil. To that end, the research employed methodological procedures including bibliographic research in databases and academic journals in the field, as well as documentary examination of the program’s Political Pedagogical Projects (PPPs). The findings highlight the scarcity of these themes in the curricula, which impacts the effectiveness of access to archives.
Justicia social en los archivos web: consideraciones para (re)pensar la valoración documental
Authors: Ferrigolo Melo Jonas , Rockembach Moisés
Published: August 2024

Este artículo analiza el proceso de valoración documental en archivos web desde la perspectiva de la inclusión social, buscando comprender cómo la literatura sobre valoración documental puede contribuir a la construcción de archivos web que promuevan la justicia social. El objetivo general es identificar, en la literatura archivística y en algunos casos empíricos, elementos que sugieran formas de construir archivos web acordes con los principios de la justicia social. A efectos metodológicos, se adoptó la investigación bibliográfica y documental. Se presentaron diez iniciativas de archivos web. Se reconoce la necesidad de replantear los procesos de evaluación de contenidos web, teniendo en cuenta los diversos contextos culturales y las desigualdades sistémicas que pueden dar lugar a la pérdida permanente de registros históricos. Se argumenta que los archivos web exigen que se tengan en cuenta las dimensiones culturales que influyen en las decisiones de preservación. Este estudio ofrece una visión de la valoración en el archivado web que sirve de punto de partida para futuras investigaciones.

Authors: Ferrigolo Melo Jonas , Rockembach Moisés
Published: August 2024

This paper examines the archival appraisal process in web archives through the lens of social inclusion, aiming to understand how archival theory can contribute to building web archives that promote social justice. By analyzing archival literature and empirical cases of ten web archiving initiatives, this research identifies elements that suggest ways to construct web archives aligned with social justice principles. The study emphasizes the importance of reconsidering web content evaluation processes in light of diverse cultural contexts and systemic inequalities that can lead to the permanent loss of historical records. It argues that web archiving requires a thoughtful consideration of the cultural dimensions influencing preservation decisions. This study contributes to the understanding of evaluation in web archiving and serves as a foundation for future research in the field.
Exploring emotional intelligence-implications for professional nursing practice
Authors: Rohisha I. K. , Sylvia Juliet
Published: August 2024

Emotional intelligence (EI) is a valuable set of ideas that can be used in the workplace and in the home as a parent, teacher, or manager. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health professionals play a central and critical role in improving access to and providing quality health care for the population. Mechanisms for optimizing the strengths and skills of health professionals will be essential to achieving the aims of health care. The working environment of health care professionals provides stress, adjustment problems, and mental health issues both in the professional and personal life and can directly or indirectly influence the quality of care provided to the consumers or clients. The statistics and findings from research studies suggest that healthcare professionals are at high risk of having psychological problems and burnout syndromes, and the job culture also provides a stressful environment, as explained in many studies. While the emotional aspects of clients are cared for, it is necessary that the health professionals themselves should be mentally and emotionally healthy to ensure better quality client care. Developing EI among nurses is very important as they are more concerned with a holistic care approach to the client and family. So, emotions, emotional behavior, and emotional literacy play a very important role in the nursing field. The implications of EI for nurses are applied in clinical practice, research, administration, and education.

Periarthritis of the shoulder affects 2% to 3% of the general population and is commonly seen in the age group between 40-60 years. Periarthritis is defined as an idiopathic painful restriction of shoulder joint movements due to restriction of the glenohumeral joint. Patients with periarthritis of the shoulder clinically represent difficulties in activities of daily living like dressing, grooming, performing overhead activities, and disturbing sleep on the affected side.

The aim of the study is to see the effectiveness of KIASTM along with the Muscle Energy Technique on pain and functional disability index with periarthritis shoulder.

30 patients with periarthritis shoulder who visited the physiotherapy department OPD were included in the study with patient consent. Patients were divided randomly into two groups; Group A received KIASTM with Muscle energy technique, and Group B received Muscle energy technique only (Isometric contraction method of MET). Pain was evaluated by VAS and Functional Disability evaluation was done by SPADI scale. Pre-and post-intervention in both groups. Independent t-tests were used to compare the pre-and post-intervention results in both groups.

Both groups exhibited significant improvement in SPAID post-intervention. However, there was a significant difference in Group A, who were treated with KIASTM and MET.

KIASTM is an effective tool for fascia release and can be incorporated with other techniques like MET for effective and fast results in pain relief and overcoming disability in patients with shoulder periarthritis. Therefore, we commend it to be a good technique for such patients.

Hemoglobinopathy is defined as a blood disorder caused by a genetically determined change in the molecular structure of hemoglobin. Abnormalities of hemoglobin (Hb) synthesis are among the most common inherited disorders of man and can be quantitative (thalassemia syndrome) or qualitative (variant Hemoglobins). Screening is a process used to identify individuals who are at high risk of having or of developing, a specific disease when compared with the general population. In India, they are responsible for the largest number of genetic disorders and thalassemia.

To screen pregnant females in the first and second trimesters for thalassemia minor

This study was conducted at Department of Biochemistry in collaboration with Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, at a tertiary care hospital.

The study was conducted over a period of 18 months, from January 2013 to June 2014. A complete medical history and informed consent were obtained from all participants. Levels of Hb A, Hb A2, Hb F, and Hb variants were measured by cation exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Of the 1,350 pregnant females, 48 had thalassemia minor positive on screening.

From the obstetrician’s point of view, prevention and control in pregnant women is one of the best ways to reduce the birth of severe thalassemia in major infants.

Vitamin D deficiency can impose significant development of cardiovascular diseases along with the cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia. In this backdrop, the present study was carried to evaluate the association between 25(OH) vitamin D levels and lipid profiles in subjects with vitamin D insufficiency and those with normal lipid profiles.

This study was carried out among the obese and non-obese individuals with vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D level was estimated in all the patients. Further, the lipid profiles, Homeostatic Model Assessment HOMA and bone density (T and Z scores) were measured in all the patients.

The obese subjects displayed significant increase in the BMI, VSF and TBF in as compared to the non-obese subjects. Further, the T and Z scores, Insulin, HOMA-IR, AST and ALT levels was increased in obese subjects when compared to non-obese subjects and found to be significant. In addition, there was significant negative correlation between VLDL and triglycerides in vitamin D deficiency subjects.

Thus the present study, confirm that there was marked alteration in lipid profiles in subjects with vitamin D deficiency.

: Women’s biologic clocks do not synchronize with our relatively new societal clocks. Advancing female age is one of the “greatest enemies” of fertility. A reduction in hormones from the ovaries with age is therefore thought to decrease the chances for pregnancy. The Clomiphene Citrate Challenge Test (CCCT) is often used to predict the likelihood that a woman can achieve pregnancy using her own eggs.

: To measure the changes of morphometric parameters of ovarian follicles and their numbers and compare the same before and after administration of Clomiphene citrate and also with aging.

: This interventional cohort study, performed on the women coming to the infertility clinic at Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education& Research, Kolkata with primary infertility of varying age groups. A total of 50 subjects were taken out for the study with their informed consent. Measurements of various parameters of the ovaries were done with Transvaginal ultrasonography. Comparison among them with respect to age, number, volume, length, breadth both before and after ovulation induction with Clomiphene citrate were made.

Statistically significant decline in number of follicle and ovarian volume was seen after 30 years of age on both sides indiscriminately. The volume and length of ovaries and the follicle number are significantly increased following Clomiphene administration. Though the breadth is not significantly changed.

: The study confirms that transvaginal ultrasound can provide a reliable measure in monitoring the follicular growth and ovulation. It also proves that clomiphene is one of the best first line drug for induction of ovulation.

Despite the availability of the HPV vaccine in our country, the mortality secondary to cervical cancer is still high as not many are interested in vaccinating the at-risk population. Hence, a study was conducted to identify the knowledge, attitude, and practice of the Human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination in pre-university female students.

A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Tumkur district of India amongst female students studying in pre-university colleges.

A total of 271 female students were included in the study. The mean knowledge score of the study population was 5.6/17 and only 169 (62%) students were aware of the effects of HPV. A total of 144 (53%) study participants were willing to take HPV vaccination if provided but 1/3 of them backed out after knowing the cost of vaccination. The study participants from the urban area had more knowledge about the effects of HPV (118/160 vs. 51/111; p <0.0001) than those from the rural area but there was no difference between them regarding attitude and practice toward HPV infection and its vaccination.

The study population was found to have poor knowledge about HPV infection and HPV vaccination. Only 53% of study participants were willing to take HPV vaccination if provided but 1/3 of them backed out after knowing the cost of vaccination. The urban group was more knowledgeable than the rural group but both groups had a similar attitude and practice toward HPV infection and its vaccination.

Ropivacaine is a new local anesthetic. it is long acting and it will not affect heart. Its use for epidural anesthesia and blocks for the peripheral nerves is well established. But, data is limited on use and effects of ropivacaine in IVRA.

To study if Ropivacaine is a better alternative to Lignocaine in Intravenous Regional Anesthesia with respect to efficacy and post-operative analgesia.

This was a prospective, double-blind, randomized comparative study carried out among 60 patients of ASA grade 1 or 2 of either sex and age 18-60 years admitted for elective upper limb surgeries. Randomization was done based on computer generated random numbers. Group 1- 30 patients received 0.5% Lignocaine - 40ml and Group 2- 30 patients received 0.2% Ropivacaine – 40ml.

Mean age, mean duration for surgery, weight and Proximal Tourniquet Tolerance time (min) were similar in two groups (p>0.05). Motor regression time (min), Onset of action (min), Sensory regression time (min), Rescue analgesia (min) was significantly more in group-2 patients compared to group-1 patients (p<0.05). whereas, VNRS and modified Bromage scale reading was significantly more in group-1 patients compared to group-2 patients (p<0.05).

Ropivacaine is better than lignocaine. The analgesia i.e. during surgery and after surgery, motor blockade were better with ropivacaine than lignocaine and at the same time there were no complications. Hence, IVRA with ropivacaine should be used.
