Modelling of Peripheral Wood Milling Power Using Design of Experiment Approach
Authors: Merhar Miran , Bjelić Aldin , Hodžić Atif
Published: January 2025

For efficient production planning, it is necessary to know the power consumption of a particular woodworking operation in advance. In the past, many power measurement tests have been carried out based on a large number of different combinations of technological parameters. However, in this paper, the effects of technological parameters and wood properties on the power magnitude of peripheral milling are analysed using experimental design methods, where the effects of the different factors can be tested with a much smaller number of combinations. Therefore, a central composite experimental design was used to plan the experiments. Three different tree species with different densities were milled with three different numbers of cutting knives and three depths of cut at constant feeding speed and rotational velocity. For each milling combination, the power was measured continuously and then the average power was calculated. Based on the measurements, a suitable model was determined that allowed the magnitude of the cutting power to be determined for each combination of technological parameters and wood species tested. The model proved to be suitable, as the deviations between the measured and modelled power values are minimal.
Investigation of Some Physical and Mechanical Properties of Basalt Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (BFRP) Woven Fabrics and Plaster Mesh (PSM) Reinforced Glued Laminated Oak Lumber
Authors: Karaman Abdurrahman , Yesil Huseyin
Published: January 2025

In this study, some physical and mechanical properties of the basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) woven fabrics (WF) and plaster mesh (PSM) reinforced glued laminated oak lumber were investigated. The BFRPWF and PSM were used in order to increase the mechanical properties of the laminated elements. One-component polyurethane glue (PUR) was used in the production of lumber. The BFRPWF and PSM were tested in three different locations using non-reinforced laminated oak lumber (LOL), reinforced laminated oak lumber with BFRPWF (LOLBFRPWF), and reinforced laminated oak lumber with PSM (LOL-PSM). Tests were performed on the LOL, LOLBFRPWF, and LOL-PSM to investigate their bending strength (MOR), air-dried density (δ12), and modulus of elasticity (MOE). The three-point MOR and MOE in bending tests were applied to the samples. The results showed that the highest value for MOR was found in the laminated wood samples (135.20 N/mm2) that were prepared using the BFRPWF inter-layer. The lowest value of 112.82 N/mm2 was found in the LOL samples. The highest value of modulus elasticity was found in the samples prepared with the BFRPWF inter-layer (16167 N/mm2). The lowest value of 13786 N/mm2 was found in the LOL samples. It was observed that the samples parallel to the glue line of the laminated material showed higher performance compared to those perpendicular to the glue line. The LOL-BFRPWF samples give better results than LOL-PSM and control samples. Accordingly, the LOL-BFRPWF and LOL-PSM samples have the potential to be used as viable options for both furniture and building materials.
Non-Destructive Evaluation of Thermal Treatment Influence on Elastic Engineering Parameters of Poplar
Authors: Yılmaz Aydın Tuğba , Aydın Murat
Published: January 2025

Twelve elastic constants (Young’s modulus (EL, ER, and ET,), shear modulus (GLR, GLT, and GRT) and Poisson’s ratios (νLR, νLT, νRT, νTR, νRL, and νTL)) of Populus canadensis M. were determined by ultrasonic testing and evaluation, and the effect of thermal treatment on these constants was figured out. Samples were modified at 110, 160, and 210 °C for 3 and 6 h. The 2.25 MHz pressure and 1 MHz shear waves were propagated to calculate ultrasonic wave velocities, which were used to dynamically predict the constants. The control values for EL, ER, ET, GLR, GLT, GRT, νLR, νLT, νRT, νTR, νRL, and νTL were 4361 MPa, 1438 MPa, 476 MPa, 771 MPa, 480 MPa, 107 MPa, 0.795, 0.296, 0.863, 0.335, 0.19, and 0.027, respectively. Yet, no data for full elastic constants were reported, and some remarkable differences were observed for moduli and Poisson ratios when compared to other poplar species. Elasticity and shear moduli reached their highest at 160 °C 3h and 110 °C 3h conditions, respectively. The common point of the treatment on moduli was that intense application caused the highest adverse effect, particularly for ET and GRT. Contrary to moduli, apart from νRT and νTR, the lowest values for Poisson’s ratios were not obtained at the intense application. In general, none of the properties presented linear-like advancement or worsening by the increase in treatment conditions. Furthermore, not all the properties were significantly influenced by the treatment. Therefore, defining an optimum thermal treatment condition for improving the wood elastic constants is not easy when considering that the response to thermal treatment changes not only between the species but also within the species. Anyhow, preventing extended duration to elevated temperatures provides considerable advances.

Effectiveness of speed and inclination variants of treadmill on gait parameters in patients with Parkinson’s disease
Authors: Rao Suruchi V
Published: January 2025

Gait in Parkinson’s disease is characterized by reduced stride length, speed and cadence which is due to lack of internal cueing, thus to compensate external cues are required. The treadmill helps to normalize gait parameters and rhythm by acting as an external cue. The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of treadmill speed and inclination variants on gait parameters in patients with Parkinson's disease. Based on the inclusion criteria, six participants for this study were recruited. Their average comfortable walking speed was assessed and divided into three categories as 80%, 100%, and 120%. There was a treadmill intervention where the inclination percentage was zero for the first week and the comfortable walking speed (CWS) on Day 1 was 80%, 100% on Day 2, and 120% on Day 3. With the same treatment, the inclination percentage was increased to 6% and 9% in the second and third weeks. Pre- Post speed and stride length was evaluated. A slight mean improvement of 0.07 kmph to 0.62 kmph was observed in the lower parameters like 0% inclination with 80- 120% CWS whereas a mean reduction of 0.6 to 0.8 kmph was noticed.in the higher parameters where speed and inclination was maximum. It can be affirmed that 0% and 6% inclination with 100 and 120 CWS has a better outcome in terms of stride length and gait speed.

Authors: Balu Anbarasan
Published: January 2025

Centella asiatica, also known as Gotu kola or Indian pennywort, has been used in traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Recently, it has gained global recognition, especially in Korean skincare, due to its active components, such as asiaticoside, madecassoside, and triterpenoids, which promote wound healing, antioxidant protection, and anti-aging effects. Aloe vera, a succulent used medicinally for over 5,000 years across various cultures, contains over 70 biologically active compounds with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and healing properties. A randomized trial has shown its effectiveness in treating plaque psoriasis. This study aims to formulate a gel combining triterpene compounds from Centella asiatica with Aloe vera to enhance wound healing in diabetic patients. Triterpenes were extracted from Centella asiatica using ethanol via the maceration method, while Aloe vera's bio-enhancing properties improved absorption. The gel, formulated with Centella asiatica extract, Aloe vera gel, Carbopol 940, propylene glycol, benzyl alcohol, and sorbitan solution, was prepared in four concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%). Characterization studies, including pH, viscosity, spreadability, extrudability, and in-vitro release, were performed. Stability studies ensured the gel’s usability. Results indicate that the combination of Centella asiatica and Aloe vera shows promise for enhanced wound healing, particularly in diabetic patients.
Amaranthus retroflexus: a dual-edged plant with promising therapeutic potential and toxicological concerns: a review
Authors: BS Ashok Kumar
Published: January 2025

Amaranthus retroflexus, a member of the Amaranthaceae family often regarded as an agricultural weed, has emerged as a plant of pharmacological interest. Its rich phytochemical composition, including polyphenols, flavonoids, sesquiterpenes, and glucosides, underpins its potent antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities. Notable compounds such as rutin and Amarantholidols exhibit strong antioxidant properties, suggesting potential roles in combating oxidative stress. The plant has shown antimicrobial efficacy against various pathogens and preliminary anticancer effects through cytotoxicity on cancer cell lines. However, A. retroflexus is highly toxic to livestock, with nephrotoxic, myocardiotoxic, and oxalate-related effects causing acute renal failure and significant mortality in animals. This duality of medicinal potential and toxicological risk highlights the need for cautious exploration. Comprehensive research is necessary to elucidate its mechanisms of action, minimize risks, and harness its therapeutic value. With proper management and targeted studies, A. retroflexus could be transformed from a toxic weed into a valuable source of natural medicine.

Published: January 2025

Kısıtlı su kaynaklarının korunması ve alternatif su kaynaklarının değerlendirilmesi günümüzün önemli konuları arasında olup, ülkemizde 2023 yılında Su Verimliliği Seferberliği ilan edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda kentsel doğa temelli çözümler ve yeşil altyapı uygulamaları arasında kabul gören alternatif seçeneklerden yağmur suyu hasadı ile binalarda şebeke suyundan su tasarrufu sağlanırken doğal su kaynaklarımızın da korunmasına katkı verilebilecektir. Bu çalışmada, Antalya ve İzmir illerimizdeki 2 farklı otel kompleksinin çatılarından toplanacak yağmur suyunun tesis içerisinde özellikle sifon suyu ve yeşil alan sulamaları ile elde edilecek tasarruf oranlarının yanı sıra, yatırım ve işletme maliyetleri detaylı olarak çalışılmış ve geri ödeme süreleri hesaplanmıştır. Her 2 otel örneği de gerçek vakalar olup, İzmir’deki otel planlama aşamasındaki çok katlı tek bir bina iken Antalya’daki otel bir tatil köyü niteliğinde olup, yatayda yayılmış mevcut ve faaliyetteki bir oteldir. Antalya’daki kompleksteki çatılardan toplanabilen suyun tamamen sifon suyu olarak kullanılması düşülmüştür. Bu durumda sifon suyundan %20, toplam su tüketiminde %3 tasarruf yapılabileceği ve geri ödeme süresinin 16 yıl olduğu bulunmuştur. İzmir’deki otelde ise planlanma aşamasındaki aynı binanın faaliyette olması durumu da incelenmiş olup, geri ödeme süreleri sırasıyla 9 yıl ve 18 yıl olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu oteldeki su tasarrufu ise %12 olmaktadır. Fizibiliteleri yapılmış bu örnekler çoğaltılabilerek birçok bina tipolojisinde uygulanabilir; hatta grisu geri kullanımı alternatifi ile birlikte değerlendirildiğinde daha fazla su tasarrufunun yanı sıra daha kısa geri ödeme süreleri söz konusu olabilmektedir.

Published: January 2025

The development of innovative electrojet technologies based on the formation of sequential flows of monodisperse droplets in the working environment remains among the current problems today. In this study, it has been determined that in the “needle-plane” electrode system where corona discharge occurs. The charging kinetics of spherical particles are investigated in this system. These particles were created under equal conditions for various dielectric liquids. The spherical particles had different radii and different relative dielectric permittivities. The study determined that the charging kinetics of these particles differ. This difference depends on the polarity of the small radius electrode. In particular, the effective ionization coefficient in an electronegative gas environment (e.g. in air) where corona discharge occurs, it has been shown that when the needle electrode has a negative polarity, the amount of charge accumulated on the spherical particle is higher compared to the positive polarity case.

Published: January 2025

Trail running (TR) is an endurance sport practised on irregular natural terrain with significant elevation changes. The aim was to analyse cardiorespiratory fitness parameters, bilateral body composition and maximal strength profiles in the lower limbs of elite Chilean trail runners. A 26-year-old Chilean amateur ultra trail runner was studied (body weight: 62.3 kg, height: 1.71 m, BMI: 21.2 kg/m², lean mass: 54 kg (86.6%), muscle mass: 30.3 kg (48.6%), fat mass: 8.3 kg (13.3%) and a skeletal muscle mass index of 7.5 kg/m²). The subject participated in three laboratory sessions: 1) anthropometric and pulmonary measurements, 2) cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) with heart rate variability (HRV) assessment, and 3) isometric and isokinetic lower limb strength assessment. During the CPET, VO2max, ventilatory and HRV thresholds were measured using the DFA a1 algorithm. Quadriceps muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) was also recorded. The runner presented a VO2max of 75 ml/kg/min. SmO2 values during CPET were 67.2% at rest, 38.5% at VT1, 26.8% at VT2 and 17.2% at VO2max. The results showed that the first heart rate variability threshold (HRVT1) coincided with the ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2). Isometric and isokinetic evaluation revealed a higher eccentric flexion/concentric extension ratio in the right hip compared to the left, with values of 2.58 for the right and 2.25 for the left. Aerobic fitness is essential for trail running performance. Ventilatory thresholds and HRV, together with SmO2, may be useful tools for monitoring muscle fatigue. The observed muscle strength imbalances between limbs highlight the importance of training for strength symmetry to maximise performance and reduce the risk of injury. Future studies on muscle oxygenation, respiratory function and muscle asymmetries may improve training strategies in TR.
Factor analysis of the improvement of bat energy in baseball hitting
Authors: Yang Chen , Jin Pengfei
Published: January 2025

Baseball hitting involves multiple biomechanical variables, and understanding their impact on bat energy is crucial for improving performance. However, no studies have explored how biomechanical features affect hitting performance from the perspective of bat energy. This study aimed to systematically investigate the influence of lower limb biomechanical variables on bat energy using factor analysis and stepwise regression methods. Sixteen right-handed baseball players participated in the study. Bilateral lower limb kinematic and kinetic features were calculated and exported using a motion capture system and force platform. Six key factors (F1–F6) were extracted from the 28 biomechanical features. Factors F1 and F5 are correlated with the rotation of the trailing and leading limbs, respectively; F2 correlates with energy production of the leading limb; F3 correlates with linear momentum production; F4 correlates with body posture control; and F6 correlates with body linear movement in the anterior direction. To enhance bat energy, hitters should step towards the incoming ball more rapidly to increase ground reaction force on the leading limb. They should also maximize extension and external rotation of both the leading and trailing limbs, stabilize the trailing limb during body rotation, and ensure proper weight distribution between the leading and trailing limbs.
role of positive and negative reinforcement by coaches in the acquisition of new motor skills depending on the present sport motive
Authors: Schröder Sebastian
Published: January 2025

The results of this pilot study should allow conclusions to be drawn about the influence of the trainer's approach and the motor learning behaviour depending on the existing motive structure. To this end, two groups were randomly formed, each of which watched a learning video in which six steps for learning to juggle were shown. The two groups were randomly given either a positively or negatively reinforced speech in sound and text. The 27 participants (8 girls, 19 boys, mean age: 17.74, SD = 0.86) are sports students supported by the Olympic training centre. The results showed a dependence of motor learning performance on trainer response (meanpos = 4.93, meanneg = 4.27, p = .030 (one-sided), d = -0.74). In the present study, the mean differences between the hope- and fear-motivated groups show large differences in this respect, but these are not significant, certainly due to the small sample size (meanfear = 4.2, meanhope = 5.0, p = .103). It was interesting to note that the fear-motivated athletes in particular benefited from receiving positive coaching instructions. The calculation of the effect size confirms this assumption (d = .366). The covariance analysis also indicate that the motor learning performance depends on the positive or negative trainer instruction when these are adjusted for the respective co-variables skin conductivity, blood volume pulse and present motive structure (partial η² = 0.128-0.139). The results show that the positive influence of the coach's approach in the context of motor learning is of great importance.

Published: January 2025

The aim of this study was to analyse the values related to the perception of anxiety and self-confidence shown by students of the motorcycle driving course at the Traffic Academy of the Guardia Civil. The study sample consisted of 31 subjects, Guardia Civil officers enrolled as students at the Traffic School. A specific test was designed to reflect different driving situations that challenged the subjects' skills. The tools used for data collection were the self-reported questionnaires: the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-E) to measure state-trait anxiety and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R (CSAI-2R) to assess participants' pre-competitive anxiety. The statistical analysis showed differences in relation to the variables of cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety, and state anxiety, considering the moments both prior to and after the driving test, as well as at the baseline moment. The correlation between all study variables and the different recording moments showed significant differences in most cases, with pre-test cognitive anxiety showing the least significance. The results of this study highlight the complexity of the interactions between anxiety and self-confidence in such specific evaluative contexts. This suggests the need to continue developing evaluation procedures and tests adapted to the idiosyncrasies of this group, which are crucial for the development of intervention programs that strengthen self-confidence, foster a positive mental state, and reduce anxiety in the subjects.

Published: January 2025

Violence against women is a global public health issue. In physical aggression, the head and neck are the most affected areas and can get lifelong sequelae. The aim of this study was to analyze the type, prevalence and quantification of damage related to oral and maxillofacial injuries in women victims of domestic violence treated at the Forensic Dentistry of the Afrânio Peixoto Medical-Legal Institute (IML-AP), over a period of 5 years. A survey was carried out in the Occurrence Records and Expert Reports of the IML-AP Forensic Dentistry Service. 200 reports of female victims were evaluated, excluding cases of non-cohabiting aggressors or non-first-degree family members, child abuse, and those under legal confidentiality. The majority of victims were between 18 and 39 years old (62%), high school graduates (34%), attacked at home (64.5%) by their companions (50%) and bodily force caused the injuries (84 .5%). In 69% of the assaulted women there were injuries in the oral cavity and, mainly, to soft tissue (73.5%). Ecchymosis was the most common (59%). In dental tissues, fracture (24.5%) and dislocation (18.5%) were more prevalent, especially in the upper central incisors. In 45.5% the damage was considered mild, in 15% permanent weakness and in 7.5% permanent deformity. It is concluded that in the Forensic Dentistry Service of IML-AP, in 5 years, domestic violence against women produced simple and reversible soft tissue injuries, as well as bone and dental fractures that can impair lifelong masticatory, phonetic and aesthetic function.

O kefir é uma bebida láctea fermentada probiótica amplamente reconhecida por seus benefícios à saúde. Produzido pela fermentação do leite com grãos de kefir, contendo uma variedade de bactérias e leveduras, apresenta uma composição complexa e características únicas. No Brasil, o consumo do kefir concentra-se na produção artesanal e doméstica, com grãos de kefir frequentemente doados, resultando em muitas vezes na falta de padronização e condições higiênicas inadequadas, contribuindo para a inconformidade de seus padrões mínimos da legislação brasileira (Brasil, 2007). Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as características físico-químicas de acidez e pH ao longo da vida útil de dois grupos de kefir: um antes da implantação das Boas Práticas de Fabricação (BPF) e outro após a implantação das BPF entre os anos de 2022 a 2024. Os resultados indicaram que a implementação das BPF aumentou a vida útil do kefir, reduzindo a elevação da acidez e o aumento do pH.

Os agricultores enfrentam desafios significativos, como a falta de organização, os altos custos de produção e as dificuldades na comercialização individual de seus produtos. Nesse contexto, esta pesquisa investigou a criação de uma cooperativa mista no PA Perobas Sanharão, com o objetivo de promover a cooperação entre os produtores, obtendo redução de custos e fortalecimento do comércio coletivo. O objetivo foi entender como essa forma de organização pode ajudar a melhorar a competitividade e o desenvolvimento dos agricultores locais. A pesquisa consiste na coleta de dados por meio de questionários aplicados aos agricultores e análise das respostas para descobrir suas percepções sobre cooperativismo. Observou-se que a ideia de formar uma cooperativa mista é bem recebida pelos agricultores, que a veem como uma chance para superar barreiras de mercado e obter preços mais justos. Também foram identificados desafios importantes, como a falta de infraestrutura e assistência técnica adequada. Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos agricultores estão dispostos a colaborar e acreditam que uma cooperativa mista pode trazer benefícios reais para sua comunidade. Com base nesses achados, é possível concluir que essa forma de organização não só pode aliviar os problemas enfrentados, mas também fortalecer a agricultura familiar e promover um desenvolvimento mais sustentável.

O objetivo desta revisão foi sintetizar as evidências presentes na literatura sobre as implicações psicológicas em pacientes que passaram por cirurgia bariátrica (CB). Para esse fim, realizou-se uma busca sistemática nas bases de dados SciELO, PubMed e LILACS, abrangendo publicações do período de 2020 a 2024, com o uso dos descritores “bariatric surgery” e “mental health”, sem restrições de idioma. Ao final, foram incluídos 12 estudos originais que tratavam da saúde mental de pacientes após a cirurgia bariátrica. O presente trabalho destaca a complexidade dessas implicações psicológicas, indicando que, embora o procedimento ofereça benefícios iniciais na redução de peso e na melhora de comorbidades, muitos pacientes após alguns anos apresentam recaída de sintomas depressivos e ansiosos. Fatores como compulsão alimentar, insatisfação com a imagem corporal e comportamento suicida foram identificados como desafios recorrentes. Assim, o estudo enfatiza a necessidade de acompanhamento psicológico contínuo no pré e pós-operatório, bem como a importância de intervenções, como a Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental (TCC) e o suporte dietético, para auxiliar na adaptação às mudanças físicas e emocionais decorrentes do procedimento.
LA REINCORPORACIÓN COMUNITARIA, UN DESAFÍO PARA LA ADMINISTRACIÓN PÚBLICA: SISTEMATIZACIÓN DE LA EXPERIENCIA DE REINCORPORACIÓN COMUNITARIA DEL GRUPO DE INTERÉS FARC, UBICADO EN EL ETCR ANTONIO NARIÑO MUNICIPIO DE ICONONZO TOLIMA

Objetivo: Comprender las narrativas del grupo de interés público ubicado en el municipio de Icononzo Tolima, la relación con la Administración Pública desde la pedagogía de paz, el restablecimiento del tejido social, y reconciliación, desarrollada.
 
Marco teórico: Se plantea un análisis crítico, desde la teoría de la acción comunicativa de Jürgen Habermans, a partir de decisiones democráticas, participativas que permiten transformación y la de  una nueva concepción de sociedad integrando  paradigmas de sistemas y mundos de  vida, dando sustento en el ejercicio de comprender la relación entre el grupo de interés público FARC ubicado en el Municipio de Icononzo - Tolima y la Administración Pública, relacionando la Teoría de la Justicia, de Jhon Rawls, tomando estructuras sociales equitativas y ordenadas.
 
Método: bajo una metodología cualitativa se sistematizaron las experiencias de 7 integrantes de las FARC- EP, en cinco momentos propuestos por Holliday O (2018).
 
Resultados y discusión: A partir de una reconstrucción histórica, se logró recuperar el proceso vivido por siete (7) exintegrantes de las FARC-EP ubicados en el Espacio Territorial de Capacitación y Reincorporación “Antonio Nariño”, hombres y mujeres líderes, en el que se consideró que la gestión de los entes administrativos públicos, durante la implementación de la Reincorporación comunitaria fue técnica,  propiciando desafíos e incertidumbre  en los reincorporados de las FARC -EP,  quedando en riesgo la estabilidad del acuerdo de paz en el territorio.
 
Implicaciones de la investigación: Este estudio ha logrado situar los indicadores que con mayor frecuencia se dieron en el Acuerdo de PAZ, la PNRSE, el PMI, y los planes de desarrollo orientados a la reincorporación. Así, como desde las narrativas todas las estrategias generadas dentro del proceso.
 
Originalidad/Valor: Este análisis contribuye dentro de la filología en el marco del posconflicto en Colombia, después del acuerdo para una paz estable y duradera entre el Gobierno de Juan Manuel Santos y las FARC - EP.

Neglected and chronic-degenerative diseases can be of environmental origin and over time usually compromise immune responses. For this reason, our group studies the type of immune response that is evoked by the ultradiluted and dynamized solutions obtained by the classical Hahnemannian method of multiple vials and also by phyto-adaptogenic herbal extracts, aiming to evaluate the immunomodulation triggered through the adaptive immune responses of the hosts. Thus, through the qualitative methodological analysis of the case study, a retrospective of the first records and their objectives at that time was carried out, and later new studies and new multidisciplinary participations were added. However, the world panorama with several wars and climatic uncertainties that culminate in socio-environmental disasters triggers panic syndrome, hopelessness and chronic illnesses and others, such as immunodeficiencies by parasites, viruses, neoplasms. In this context, it was inevitable that we would encounter complexity and study new methodological and technological approaches for the preliminary scientific investigation of solutions at the local level, understanding the multidimensional concept of health in its integrality (and singularity) as well as in its transversality. The present study, although not yet concluded, represents evolutionary steps in the understanding of the basic immunology of hosts in its depth, and its communication is considered useful, especially in the face of wars and climatic uncertainties that we are facing at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It is hoped that the circulation of these learnings can favor several other groups that deal more closely with these destructive and serious situations around the planet.

The military police career is characterized by strenuous hours and unique responsibilities, requiring a balance between professional demands and personal life. In this context, financial management becomes a crucial element to ensure the emotional stability and well-being of public security professionals. This article aimed to analyze the importance of financial management for Military Police Officers, highlighting its influence on the quality of life and financial security of these professionals. The problem investigated was: how can financial management contribute to a safer and more stable future for military police officers? The methodology adopted consisted of a literature review, using scientific databases such as Portal CAPES, Science Direct and SciELO, with a focus on identifying the main difficulties faced by police officers in managing their financial resources and the most effective strategies to overcome them. The results indicate that the lack of financial planning is associated with high levels of stress and instability, affecting both personal life and professional performance. The study proposes the inclusion of financial education in the training and during the career of military police officers, in order to promote awareness about planning and healthy financial habits. The contributions of this research extend to the large area of public management and security, by proposing the implementation of public policies and financial education programs aimed at military police officers. These initiatives aim to improve the quality of life of professionals and strengthen the police institution, ensuring a greater balance between personal and professional life, in addition to ensuring a more stable and secure future.
