La pensión compensatoria desde la perspectiva del derecho internacional
Authors: Santana Páez Emelina
Published: October 2024

El tratamiento de los problemas procesales en la reclamación de una pensión compensatoria, cuando concurre un elemento extranjero, supone analizar, como en todas y cada una de las medidas discutidas, la competencia judicial internacional de los tribunales españoles para conocer de tal pretensión y la ley aplicable para resolver sobre el fondo de la cuestión (normas de conflicto). También deben tenerse en cuenta las posibilidades de eficacia extraterritorial de las resoluciones judiciales sobre esta medida.

El conflicto: origen, desarrollo y consecuencias
Authors: Martínez Moratilla Pilar
Published: October 2024

El conflicto es un proceso inherente a las interacciones sociales inevitable en todo marco de relación e implica cierto grado de incompatibilidad percibida entre las partes. En un conflicto hay una relación recíproca entre las variables ambientales y las personales; es por ello por lo que puede aumentar o disminuir en dificultad o importancia con el tiempo, dependiendo de los cambios que se van produciendo en el ambiente, en las personas o en ambos.

Conflictos: expectativas y realidades
Authors: Martínez Moratilla Pilar
Published: October 2024

Las expectativas sobre la resolución de los conflictos en los que las personas se ven inmersas suelen distar bastante de la realidad. Por eso, aprender a reconocerlos y a afrontarlos como cualquier otro problema es imprescindible, además de práctico. En entornos laborales estresantes, los conflictos interpersonales son más frecuentes. El análisis del conflicto y la resolución de conflictos son dos técnicas que han demostrado su eficacia en el entorno laboral y social para que los propios implicados puedan gestionar la salida del conflicto.
Investigación y enjuiciamiento en causas penales de trata de seres humanos. Especial referencia a las consecuencias de la covid-19: nuevos patrones
Authors: Hernández Rueda María Dolores
Published: October 2024

La trata de seres humanos puede considerarse como uno de los delitos más devastadores por sus efectos para las víctimas, que afecta de uno modo desproporcionado a mujeres y niñas de todo el mundo. Esta situación se ha visto en cierto modo agravada por las consecuencias del confinamiento impuesto por la covid-19, apuntándose, derivado de ello, unos nuevos patrones de actuación por los victimarios. Aunque es pronto para evaluar el impacto de la pandemia en los delitos, especialmente los de connotación sexual y que afectan a víctimas especialmente vulnerables, ya existen informes que alertan sobre la modificación de patrones en la trata. Estas modificaciones se deben al empleo cada vez más eficiente, por parte de los tratantes, de las redes sociales para la captación de las víctimas, el uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en las ventas de mujeres y niñas, así como su control, y la explotación de estas en instalaciones privadas que incide en la mayor invisibilidad y la reducción de las posibilidades de identificación. Estos factores, unidos a la constatación de que no se hacen suficientes esfuerzos en la consideración de la trata de mujeres para la explotación sexual en su aspecto como delito de género y a que persiste la impunidad de los autores, con un bajo número de enjuiciamiento y de condenas, confluyen en que deba hacerse un estudio pormenorizado de las prácticas procesales en los delitos seguidos por la trata. Muy especialmente, los seguidos por la trata sexual de mujeres por su enorme incidencia, con el apoyo de la Guía de criterios de actuación judicial frente a la trata de seres humanos, editada por el Consejo General del Poder Judicial en el año 2018, que constituye una ayuda no solo en la comprensión de toda la dimensión del fenómeno, sino también en la instrucción y enjuiciamiento de los delitos.
Actuaciones institucionales contra la trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación sexual en la Comunidad Foral de Navarra
Authors: Erice Martínez María Esther
Published: October 2024

La presente ponencia se centra en las actuaciones institucionales contra la trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación sexual que se vienen realizando en la Comunidad Foral de Navarra. Para ello, se inicia con una revisión del marco conceptual preciso para abordar los delitos de trata de personas para la explotación sexual, y que necesariamente nos acerca a los textos normativos internacionales específicos en materia de violencia contra las mujeres, y de forma especial en el Convenio del Consejo de Europa sobre prevención y lucha contra la violencia hacia las mujeres y la violencia intrafamiliar. Tras ello se presenta la legislación con que se ha dotado la Comunidad Foral de Navarra y se hace un recorrido por las diversas actuaciones que se han puesto marcha en esta comunidad para afrontar estos delitos.
La trata de mujeres con fines de explotación sexual
Authors: Hernández Rueda María Dolores
Published: October 2024

La trata de seres humanos para la explotación sexual en el contexto del siglo XXI es un delito en el que en más del 90 % de los casos la víctima es una mujer o una niña, se trata de un fenómeno que constituye, de acuerdo con el Convenio de Estambul, un delito de violencia género producto de la desigualdad y discriminación de las mujeres, pero no es exclusivamente un tema de mujeres, es cuestión de derechos humanos. La demanda de prostitución es un problema íntimamente ligado a la trata sexual de mujeres y constituye una situación de riesgo y de invisibilización. No son pocas las ocasiones en que las víctimas son condenadas. La pandemia ha incrementado el uso de instalaciones privadas e internet en la explotación sexual, lo que retrasa la identificación de las víctimas, por lo que persiste la impunidad de los autores en la Unión Europea y el número de enjuiciamientos y condenas de tratantes sigue siendo bajo.
La perspectiva de género en el enjuiciamiento penal
Authors: Subijana Zunzunegui Ignacio José
Published: October 2024

La perspectiva de género en el enjuiciamiento exige implementar técnicas jurídicas de diferenciación que posibiliten la igualdad efectiva de mujeres y hombres en el disfrute de los derechos y libertades. El trabajo que se propone entiende que la perspectiva de género equivale a una protección reforzada de las mujeres en el orden penal a partir del especial desvalor predicable de una violencia del hombre que ratifica un modelo social de discriminación de la mujer. A partir de esta premisa, se examina cómo cabe implementar la perspectiva de género en cada uno de los tres ámbitos afectados por la interpretación y aplicación de las leyes penales: la delimitación del hecho, la fijación de la significación jurídica del hecho y la determinación del efecto que se anuda al hecho conforme a la significación jurídica conferida.

El ingreso mínimo vital como renta mínima dentro del sistema institucional de la Seguridad Social no contributiva
Authors: Rodríguez Iniesta Guillermo
Published: October 2024

El eje fundamental de este estudio es la nueva prestación no contributiva —denominada ingreso mínimo vital—, introducida en el sistema de Seguridad Social por el Real Decreto Ley 20/2020, de 29 de mayo, por el que se establece el ingreso mínimo vital. Su inclusión en nuestro sistema de Seguridad Social se justifica, según la parte introductoria del citado real decreto ley, en razón al "impacto económico y social que la crisis sanitaria ocasionada por el COVID-19 está ejerciendo sobre las personas en situación de vulnerabilidad, y el riesgo de cronificación y aumento de la pobreza en el futuro si no se adoptan medidas con carácter inmediato, ponen de manifiesto la concurrencia de los motivos que justifican la extraordinaria y urgente necesidad de adoptar la norma reguladora del ingreso mínimo vital". El estudio se limita al análisis de los artículos 1 a 8 del Real Decreto Ley 20/2020.
La promoción de los sistemas complementarios de protección (a propósito de la recomendación 16 del Pacto de Toledo)
Authors: López Insua Belén del Mar
Published: October 2024

La Constitución española recoge en su artículo 41 un modelo normativo relativamente abierto, que combina el régimen público de Seguridad Social con fórmulas privadas de protección social. A este respecto, los sistemas complementarios de protección —en especial, los referentes a la jubilación— pretenden corregir las deficiencias crónicas que manifiesta el sistema de Seguridad Social respecto al acceso a una pensión de jubilación digna. Se busca así equiparar la última renta laboral que percibe el trabajador con la cuantía de las pensiones. El establecimiento de estas medidas complementarias de protección social privada no implica una ampliación de la cobertura constitucional, sino que evidencia una convivencia de los mismos con los mecanismos públicos y obligatorios. Ahora bien, las dificultades de los ciudadanos para acceder a estos sistemas, así como la alta tasa de reposición, constituyen solo algunos de los obstáculos que dificultan la consecución de los objetivos marcados por la recomendación 16 del Informe de Evaluación y Reforma del Pacto de Toledo.
Tema 8. El decomiso
Authors: Sánchez Siscart José Manuel
Published: October 2024

En este tema abordaremos las principales novedades legislativas que se han producido en el ámbito procesal en relación con el decomiso de los bienes obtenidos del delito o empleados en su comisión, como herramienta imprescindible en la lucha contra la delincuencia organizada dirigida a enervar la consolidación de las ganancias ilícitas, y que, a la postre, impida que la comisión delictiva resulte rentable (crime doesn't pay). El fortalecimiento que esta institución ha experimentado en la última década de la mano de los textos internacionales y europeos ha supuesto en nuestro ordenamiento una profunda modificación tanto de la regulación sustantiva como de la procesal, destacando la que se llevó a cabo en el año 2015 mediante la reforma del Código Penal y de la Ley de Enjuiciamiento Criminal, implementando la Directiva 2014/42/UE del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo, de 3 de abril de 2014, sobre el embargo y el decomiso de los instrumentos y productos del delito en la Unión Europea. En el ámbito procesal, la principal novedad viene constituida por la introducción en la Ley de Enjuiciamiento Criminal de un nuevo título III ter del libro IV, "De la intervención de terceros afectados por el decomiso y del procedimiento de decomiso autónomo", dividido en dos capítulos, en los que se regula por separado cada una de las materias que estudiaremos en esta unidad. Se recomienda la previa lectura de esta regulación, enteramente novedosa, antes de adentrarse en el estudio de este tema. También dedicamos el primer epígrafe a las novedades legislativas que se han producido en materia de recuperación y gestión de activos, como herramienta imprescindible para fortalecer la investigación e incautación patrimonial a lo largo del proceso con miras a su posterior decomiso.
Board Characteristics and Internal Control Risk Management in Urban Investment Companies: A Case Study of Guangxi Urban Investment Group
Authors: Wang Su , . ROZAINI , Wang Zhen Gang
Published: October 2024

This study explores the relationship between board characteristics and internal control effectiveness and risk management practices in Chinese urban investment companies. Using a mixed research method combining questionnaire surveys and case studies, an empirical study was conducted on 104 urban investment companies, with the Guangxi Urban Investment Group as a case study. The study found that board characteristics are significantly and positively correlated with internal control effectiveness and risk management practices. Among these, the impact of board expertise is the most significant, followed by board independence and diversity. Board size is positively correlated with internal control effectiveness, but has no significant relationship with risk management practices. The study also found that company size has a moderating effect on the relationship between board characteristics and governance practices. This study provides theoretical and practical guidance for the corporate governance of urban investment companies, emphasizing the importance of improving the professionalism, independence and diversity of the board of directors. The study suggests that urban investment companies should adjust the composition of the board of directors according to their size and complexity, and adopt a comprehensive governance framework to integrate internal control and risk management practices. Future research can further explore the relationship between board characteristics, governance practices and company performance, as well as the impact of emerging technologies on the governance requirements of urban investment companies.
Participative Leadership VS Servant Leadership on Innovative Work Behavior: Role of Psychological Empowerment as Mediator
Authors: Hikmah Khoirul , Subyantoro Arief , Puspitaningrum Dwi Aulia , Nasrulloh Rifqi Syarif
Published: October 2024

The role of psychological empowerment has not been thoroughly elucidated in previous researchers. Therefore, this study aims to examine the influence of participative and servant leadership on IWB and the role of psychological empowerment as a mediator. This study used a quantitative method with an SEM-PLS design on 155 respondents from the batik handicraft industry in Central Java, Indonesia. This finding supports the idea that participative and servant leadership, as well as psychological empowerment, are important for promoting innovation. However, psychological empowerment only strengthens the influence of servant leadership because direct participation in decision-making is already able to trigger employee initiative without the need for increased empowerment first. Servant leaders act as good mentors when organizational members experience difficulties at work, get the freedom to complete difficult tasks, are valued, trusted, and have high trust in leaders related to the principles of work ethics for the progress of the company.
Perceptions of Teachers Regarding the Marks’ Reduction of Practical/Laboratory Work at the Secondary School Level
Authors: Khalil Saima Zaman , Khadija Khadija
Published: October 2024

Perceptions of teachers regarding the marks’ reduction of practical/laboratory work at the secondary school level were designed to achieve the objectives of exploring the perceptions of teachers regarding the marks’ reduction of practical/laboratory work at the secondary school level and to investigate the influence of marks’ reduction on students learning at secondary school level. The study was descriptive in nature, in which the current status of the subject was studied. All the female teachers in government girls’ high schools of district Swabi comprise the population of the study. Twenty female secondary school teachers were purposefully selected from the population. A closed-ended questionnaire for teachers was developed on a 3-point scale. The percentage was used as a statistical tool for the analysis of collected data. Based on findings, it was concluded that most teachers believed practical/lab work has much importance in science subjects. Respondents agreed that it is the only way to demonstrate the anatomy of different organisms and plants. Reduced marks may affect students’ grades in SSC examinations. Students also take less interest due to reduced marks in practical work. Less lab work affects teachers' own talent. Less lab work also wastes precious lab material. Most of the teachers were in favor of increasing practical marks to 25.
To be or not to be value-free? Research integrity between ideals and professional norms
Authors:   , Ambrosj Jacopo
Published: October 2024

Safeguarding the integrity of scientific knowledge from the possible distortions motivated by non-epistemic values (e.g. social, political, and commercial values) is a crucial component of safeguarding research integrity. According to the traditional value-free ideal of science in order to maintain integrity non-epistemic values should not be given any role in the core of scientific research. However, this ideal has received much criticism from philosophers who have shown that many research activities are inevitably value-laden. At the same time, the value-free ideal can still count on several supporters arguing that though science might not be completely value-free the ideal is one worth striving for to maximize the integrity of research. Despite the overlap of themes, concerns, and aims, there has been so far only little interaction between philosophical discussion on science and values and the development of and research on research integrity policies. This is unfortunate as collaboration would benefit both fields, by improving our knowledge and understanding of science and its ethics. Furthermore, the insights produced by this collaboration can inform and potentially improve science policy on research integrity. The general objective of this PhD thesis is to investigate with empirical-qualitative methods and philosophical analysis the interactions between values and science, how these interactions are currently regulated, and how they should be regulated in codes of conduct for research integrity. Thus, my central research question is: how should the interactions between values and science be treated in codes of conduct for research integrity? In particular, I focus on whether research integrity codes of conduct should promote some form of value-freedom of scientific research. Two main lines of research are produced: empirical-qualitative research aimed at mapping, documenting, and understanding current states of affairs; and normative research aimed at improving research integrity policies on the basis of the results of the first line of research and further philosophical analysis.
Reseña.The Danger Imperative: Violence, Death, and the Soul of Policing
Authors: Luna Cancino Arturo
Published: October 2024

En los últimos años, el debate sobre la actuación policial en Estados Unidos ha alcanzado niveles sin precedentes. Los numerosos casos de brutalidad policial han generado movimientos y protestas que han cambiado el discurso público sobre la injusticia racial  y han enfatizado la urgente necesidad de reformas en el ámbito policial. En respuesta, algunos expertos, políticos y líderes policiales han promovido la narrativa de la "guerra contra la policía", argumentando que los oficiales enfrentan un peligro constante debido a la hostilidad y la creciente desconfianza hacia su labor. Este panorama ha generado un clima de tensión y polarización, destacando la importancia de profundizar la discusión e investigación sobre las organizaciones policiales en estos contextos.

Isolation and Characterization of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria from Contaminated Soil and their Impact on Triticum Aestivum
Authors: Fatima Khadija , Afzal Sara , Gulab Ushna , Shoukat Adnan , Ali Iftikhar
Published: October 2024

Plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) or plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are bacteria that exist in the rhizospheres of plant soil and form symbiotic relationships with the plant.Some of the methods through which PGPR aid in plant growth is by playing a role in nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, iron chelation, reduction of heavy metal uptake by plant, reducing spread of plant diseases, secretion of phytohormones, significantly influencing root morphology and growth and by increasing the bio-availability of nutrients in the soil. One way to develop methods to cultivate this crop by using sustainable methods that can also increase the quality and yield of this crop is by treating the seeds of this plant with PGPB. In this study we examined the potential impact of bacteria, isolated from contaminated soil, on plant development and growth promotion. Our study aimed to isolate and characterize these bacteria and, after treatment of the seeds of Triticum aestivum with each of the bacterial isolates, test their ability to positively influence the growth of Triticum aestivum. After isolation and purification of the bacterial strains via quadrant streaking, we performed microscopic analysis and biochemical tests on the bacterial isolates which were thus identified to be Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas spp. We compared the growth of the seeds treated with each bacterial isolate with that of the control. The parameters that were taken into account and compared were root and stem length and the number of leaves, branches and roots. E.coli increased the steam and root length of wheat whereas, S.aureus increased the number of branches but it decreased the root length. While Pseudomonas spp. increased the stem and root length and increased the number of branches.  Hence, Pseudomonas spp. was the most effective boosting more aspects of wheat growth in comparison to E.coli and S.aureus.
Crumbling bridges: The failed economics of software maintenance
Authors: Herz Jc
Published: October 2024

This paper defines a microeconomic framework for understanding systemic failure in cyber security as market failure. In a marketplace with limited supply chain transparency on software quality in general and software maintenance in particular, rational actors — both software vendors and software buyers — will maximise economic returns by minimising software maintenance and security. As technical debt accrues, so does vulnerability and operational risk, as systems become more difficult to update. In this regard, the depreciation of resilience in software infrastructure is similar to the breakdown of physical infrastructure that is chronically undermaintained, but with the added element of adversarial profit. These problems cannot be solved at the computer science level that created them. They can only be solved as a business problem, as transparency requirements (eg software bill of materials [SBOMs]) and automation slash the cost of diligence, enable preferential selection of higher-quality software and continuous enforcement of terms and conditions for active maintenance.
Why crisis leadership competencies matter in the effective management of a cyber crisis
Authors: Sapriel Caroline
Published: October 2024

This paper examines whether specific leadership competencies are relevant in a cyber crisis and what it takes to manage one effectively. Our increasing dependence on technology exposes us to risks and makes us more vulnerable to digital crises. Cyberattacks are more common and can affect even well-prepared companies. Leadership during a crisis can influence an organisation’s success or failure, no matter how primed and savvy its people are. The author compares crisis management to crisis leadership and emphasises the shift in crisis management responsibility from an operational response to prevention and the ability to steer through uncertainty. This change requires crisis-specific leadership skills and a broader recognition of organisational risk. The author highlights research by Wooten and James,1 which notes leadership competencies applicable to different phases of a crisis. Not all leaders can demonstrate all these attributes in every crisis and are often ill prepared when a crisis hits; however, leaders can learn, develop and practise the competencies needed to survive and triumph over a crisis. Tools that can help develop these skills include stakeholder mapping and a protocol that evaluates and trains leaders in hard (knowledge-based) and soft (behaviour-based) skills. The author refers to the Salviotti et al.2 (2023) study, which analysed the Norsk Hydro ransomware case, noting that leadership competencies identified in traditional crisis management also apply in a cyber crisis. Given the certainty of a cyber threat, the author recommends a stronger emphasis on developing crisis leadership competencies. Training should complement other activities and programmes to prepare employees to handle crises adeptly.
How to mitigate ransomware risk through data and risk quantification
Authors: Andersen Erik Sørup
Published: October 2024

Ransomware attacks have, over the past years, been the most frequent cyberattack type and a growing community of adversaries continues to innovate methods for extorting organisations into paying ransom. Yet this risk is still, to many organisations, not well understood. Some refer to the averages reported in the media of the size of ransom and cost of ransomware attacks. But these numbers can be very far from the actual risk of a particular organisation. The nature of the risk, comprising many attack techniques and paths through an organisation’s IT assets affecting a range of systems, data and the processes they support, makes it complex to describe and analyse. By using a risk analysis technique, where the risk scenario is decomposed to account for the contributions to the risk from different attack techniques, the vulnerabilities they exploit and the different forms of impact the attack inflicts on an organisation, it is possible to describe the risk in a more nuanced way unique to an organisation. Having created a model of the risk scenario that accounts for the factors relevant to the target organisation, it is possible to study mitigation options more consistently and simulate effects of implementing potential controls. Collecting data used to estimate the individual contributions to the total risk reduces the uncertainty of the risk measure and enables calculation of mitigation effects. This paper introduces the concept of quantitative risk assessment by highlighting results from quantitative studies of ransomware risk and providing examples of how data can be collected. Common pitfalls when using high-level data are demonstrated by showing examples of insights gained from collecting data about controls effectiveness. Being more effective in mitigating ransomware risk will both benefit the organisation directly and, by making ransomware attacks less profitable, society.
Factors Influencing the Performance of Department of Public Works and Highways Field Engineers: Input for Supervisory Project Management Plan
Authors: Floria Roderick , Ala Susana
Published: October 2024

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) plays a critical role in shaping infrastructure projects in the Philippines, with field engineers at the forefront of any project execution. This study was conducted to determine the factors influencing the performance of field engineers at the DPWH, considering the individual, team, and organizational factors. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, the study was conducted at DPWH Eastern Samar District Engineering Office, with 30 field engineers who served as the respondents. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data, while Pearson’s correlation was used to test the hypothesis. The key findings revealed that factors such as technical skills (r=0.306), experience (r=0.162), and motivation (r=0.332) have nothing to do with performance, with p-values higher than 0.05. On a team level- leadership and management (r=0.407) are critical to success. Sufficient resource allocation (r=0.356) drives better performance at the organizational level. The research stressed the importance of providing continuous professional development to field engineers to enhance their technical know-how and leadership capabilities. Likewise, supportive leadership that fosters collaboration and communication among teams is vital to achieving project goals. On an organizational scale, efficient resource management and well-defined policies are necessary for field engineers to perform effectively and efficiently. It is suggested that to improve project outcomes, the DPWH should implement targeted training programs, foster leadership that encourages teamwork, and ensure adequate resource distribution. Also, refining organizational policies can help create a more structured and supportive environment for field engineers to improve individual and team performance and ensure efficient use of resources, ultimately enhancing infrastructure development in the Philippines.

Published: October 2024

Chitosan, with its unique properties, has garnered the interest of materials scientists worldwide, leading to exploration in bio-dental applications. In dentistry, chitosan has shown a wide range of applications. The creation of effective biomaterials for the prevention and treatment of dental disorders is a challenge for researchers in the present scenario. The natural semi-synthetic polysaccharide-based biomaterial Chitosan is derived from chitin, which is sourced from marine organisms. Due to its peculiar characteristics, chitosan offers benefits in biomedicine and can be utilized in the development of capsules (micro and nanoparticles), powders, scaffolds, films, beads, hydrogels, and bandages. Chitosan gives numerous benefits, inculcating its antimicrobial properties, mucoadhesiveness, and biomimetic mineralization, which contribute to its teeth-hardening effects due to its remineralizing capabilities. Such benefits have directed research and interest toward its dental applications Translation of research to clinical applications is better suited for chitosan due to its multifactorial activities. Therefore, this article provides an overview of chitosan, which mainly covers the basic information of chitosan, with a focus on different techniques of preparation of chitosan-based formulations. It also explores the usage of chitosan in the treatment of various dental disorders.

Authors: S. Abdulwahhab Waqas , Aljuwaied Maitha Abdulla , Kamil Bin Kamil Alshamsi Moza , Alrim Mustafa Al Moukdad Mays , AlAbdin Sham Zain , Elbarkouky Ahmed , El Khatib Omar , Aburuz Salahdein
Published: October 2024

Background: Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) formerly known as bullous ichthyosiform erythroderma, is a rare autosomal dominant inheritance condition with a prevalence ranging from 1:200,000 to 1:300,000. The underlying etiology of which is a mutation in the genes responsible for keratin proteins synthesis, primarily in KRT1 and KRT10 genes, cataloged under OMIM number 113800. The clinicopathological presentations include blistering during the neonatal period, followed by ichthyotic hyperkeratosis in childhood and adolescence. This is characterized by hallmark features such as generalized dry skin, scaling, and hyperkeratosis, and is often associated with erythroderma. EHK may present with or without palmoplantar keratoderma involvement, depending on the keratin gene variant. Case report: A 24-year-old male of Arab descent was born with diffuse skin hyperkeratotic plates featuring erythematous fissures, covering his entire body, resembling a collodion baby. His birth was full-term via cesarean section without complications, although he later developed developmental dysplasia of the hip. By the time he started primary school, he began experiencing severe thickening of the skin around his joints, reducing flexibility and leading to contractures and significant disfigurement. He is undergoing treatment with acitretin. Genetic testing using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) was performed to identify the responsible gene, revealing a novel heterozygous variant in the KRT1 gene (OMIM 139350), while no variant was detected in the KRT10 gene. Conclusion: EHK type 1 manifests with a new heterozygous variant in the KRT1 gene. This rare disorder, associated with variant in genes related to keratin production such as KRT1 and KRT10, results in distinctive skin features present from birth, as well as joint problems and fungal foot infections. Genetic testing has confirmed the presence of a variant in the KRT1 gene.
Por uma outra relação entre a loucura e o crime: possibilidades a partir da psicanálise
Authors: Lima Raquel Moreira , Neves Tiago Iwasawa
Published: October 2024

Ao longo dos últimos séculos, a prática mais comum no tratamento da loucura em conflito com a lei tem sido a institucionalização. Nesse contexto, a inimputabilidade penal e o cumprimento da medida de segurança são determinações jurídicas hegemônicas. Tais medidas implicam na retirada de alguns direitos fundamentais e reduz os potenciais de sociabilidade das pessoas consideradas inimputáveis. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do trabalho é desenvolver uma crítica teórica e pragmática ao tratamento institucional, utilizando a psicanálise como forma de pensar uma outra relação entre a loucura e o crime. Compreendemos que, a partir desse campo é possível incluir a retificação e a responsabilidade subjetiva como horizontes no tratamento jurídico. Demonstrando na prática do contexto brasileiro como é possível ultrapassar o modelo manicomial de tratamento das pessoas que em estado de sofrimento psíquico entram em conflito com a lei.
Ter e ser um corpo a partir do estádio do espelho: entre a unidade e a fragmentação
Authors: Borges Thiago , Rosa Márcia
Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir as relações entre o problema sobre ter e ser um corpo, e o problema sobre unidade e fragmentação corporal em psicanálise. Para isso, consideraremos as formulações lacanianas especialmente a partir das reflexões sobre o estádio do espelho. Além disso, abordamos a questão também por um viés histórico-filosófico, com o intuito de ampliar o campo de compreensão e sentido. Por fim, buscamos uma articulação com um recorte estético, no campo das artes.
Decifrando o Real em Lacan: uma análise crítica de A paixão pelo impossível
Authors: Teodoro Elizabeth Fátima
Published: October 2024

A resenha do livro A paixão pelo impossível: preâmbulos do conceito de real no ensino de Jacques Lacan, de Wilson Camilo Chaves, publicado em 2021, investiga a complexidade do conceito de Real na teoria lacaniana. A questão central é sobre a natureza do Real em Lacan e sua evolução ao longo de seu trabalho. O objetivo é analisar criticamente a abordagem de Chaves sobre esse tema, revelando as camadas de significado e a progressão do conceito de Real. A metodologia empregada é uma análise crítica detalhada, tanto da argumentação do autor quanto da contextualização teórica e histórica do conceito. Os principais resultados do livro apresentam uma análise detalhada do Real, desafiando interpretações tradicionais e ampliando a compreensão desse conceito ao retomar as produções textuais de Lacan, incluindo seus Escritos e Seminários. Chaves também incorpora insights de sua dissertação de mestrado, proporcionando uma perspectiva longitudinal e multifacetada sobre a teoria lacaniana. Nas considerações finais, o livro se destaca como um marco na literatura psicanalítica e filosófica, oferecendo uma leitura indispensável para estudiosos da teoria lacaniana. A abordagem meticulosa de Chaves, combinada com seu rigor teórico, desafia o leitor a reexaminar concepções preestabelecidas e torna temas psicanalíticos complexos acessíveis. Assim, a obra não apenas esclarece aspectos fundamentais da teoria lacaniana, mas também ilumina novos caminhos para a interpretação e aplicação prática da Psicanálise moderna, contribuindo significativamente para o aprofundamento da discussão acadêmica sobre Lacan.

O Diabetes Mellitus Gestacional (DMG) é uma condição ligada ao crescimento da resistência à insulina durante a gestação da mulher. A sua incidência tem crescido consideravelmente ao longo dos anos. Esta doença é monitorada durante o pré-natal por meio de testes de glicemia em certos momentos da gravidez. Este rastreamento é feito tanto no começo do pré-natal, através da medição da glicemia em jejum, que deve ser inferior a 92mg/dL, quanto entre as 24 e 28 semanas, período em que se recomenda a realização do Teste Oral de Tolerância à Glicose (TOTG) em gestantes sem diagnóstico de DMG. O propósito deste estudo é debater quais cuidados de enfermagem devem ser oferecidos à gestante com diabetes gestacional. As pesquisas examinadas evidenciam o papel crucial que a assistência de enfermagem desempenha na gestante diagnosticada com diabetes, particularmente ao fornecer diretrizes sobre a relevância de seguir o tratamento, controlar a alimentação e, posteriormente, controlar os níveis de açúcar no sangue, auxiliando na melhoria da qualidade de vida tanto da mãe quanto do bebê.
