Devido grande produção de resíduos na região amazônica faz se necessário à realização de pesquisas para agregar valor com o desenvolvimento de novos produtos. Assim, o foco deste trabalho é a identificação anatômica da espécie em estudo com posterior definição do processo produtivo para utilização de resíduos lignocelulósicos da região amazônica na produção de painéis homogêneos de partículas de madeira para uso na indústria moveleira, objetos de decoração, entre outros. A avaliação das propriedades físicas e mecânicas foi realizada com base nos documentos normativos. Para identificação anatômica foi utilizada a Chave de Identificação de Madeiras Comerciais - IPT. Foram produzidos 12 painéis divididos em 4 tipos distintos com porcentagem de resina e granulometria da peneira de moagem de: 12% - 5mm; 12% - 7 mm; 14% - 5 mm e 14% - 7 mm, respectivamente. Análise estatística (ANOVA) foi realizada, seguido pelo teste Tukey, com um nível de significância de 5%. A identificação da espécie geradora dos resíduos foi elaborada com êxito, sendo esta a Astronium lecointei Ducke, conhecida como Muiracatiara. Os resultados foram comparados com a literatura e as normas (ABNT, 2006), (ABNT 2018), (ANSI, 1999) e (CS, 1968), em que nas propriedades mecânicas apenas os resultados de arrancamento de parafuso na superfície não atenderam os documentos normativos, e o painel que apresentou melhores resultados com base nas propriedades físico-mecânicas foi o painel “14% - 7 mm”. Em relação as classificações dos painéis pela norma ABNT 14810 – 2 (2018) todos os painéis podem ser classificados para uso como “painéis não estruturais em condições secas”, podendo ser utilizados em móveis, pisos, revestimento de paredes e pequenos objetos.

Authors: Novais Robson Macedo , Silva-Junior Arnaldo Antonio da , Azevedo Gabriela de Carvalho
Published: May 2024

A afetividade é uma das dimensões que influencia a aprendizagem, por isso deve ser reconhecida e considerada no contexto escolar. Entretanto, no campo da formação de professores, pouco se discute sobre as implicações de aspectos afetivos e emocionais nas práticas pedagógicas. Considerando esse pressuposto, definiu-se como objetivo realizar a análise fílmica do longa-metragem “Escritores da liberdade”, buscando um diálogo com a temática da afetividade na escola. Baseado em fatos reais, o filme conta a comovente história da professora de Língua Inglesa Erin Gruwell. Com evidente paixão por ensinar, a atuação docente de Erin transforma a dinâmica da sala de aula e promove a criação de vínculos afetivos entre os estudantes e os conteúdos escolares através do seu engajamento e inovação educativa. A partir da análise de algumas cenas do filme, buscou-se oferecer parâmetros para a discussão sobre a afetividade nas práticas pedagógicas em cursos de formação de professores, utilizando esse filme comercial como recurso didático para promover a reflexão crítica sobre a temática. A análise envolveu: (i) assistir ao filme por três vezes, com diferentes perspectivas, (ii) seleção de cenas de interesse, (iii) descrição e pré-análise e (iv) categorização e produção de um texto interpretativo. Durante o processo de análise, foram identificadas diversas cenas que evidenciam aspectos relacionados à afetividade no contexto educativo, porém a abordagem restringiu-se aos seguintes temas: (i) as atividades propostas, (ii) as aprendizagens que vão além dos conteúdos e (iii) a repercussão na relação aluno-objeto de conhecimento. Por fim, concluiu-se que o filme representa um importante recurso didático para promover a reflexão e discutir sobre a afetividade na escola, todavia, cabe salientar que sua utilização para esse fim deve ser feita de forma crítica, pois, se por um lado a narrativa do filme destaca aspectos de uma prática pedagógica inovadora, por outro, pode induzir a uma visão romantizada da atuação docente.

Comparative Study of the Development of Aesthetic Education in Zhejiang and Taiwan
Authors: Shi Guoyin , Gong Baimao
Published: May 2024

Zhejiang's aesthetic education has developed rapidly in recent years, especially in the context of global aesthetic education that promotes the integration of noble culture with popular culture and emphasizes diversity, compromise, and reproducibility. In light of this year's high reexamination of aesthetic education by the country, provinces, and cities, aesthetic education has been elevated to a new level. However, existing aesthetic education still has problems, such as the indistinguishability of aesthetic education and art education concepts, the one-sidedness of aesthetic education content, and the shortage of aesthetic education teachers. These problems have long affected the development of Zhejiang's aesthetic education. The issue of promoting aesthetic education has become a major concern for aesthetic education teachers throughout the province and even the country. Therefore, this article focuses on the current situation and problems of Zhejiang's aesthetic education. A comparison of the current status and achievements of Taiwan's aesthetic education with Zhejiang, drawing on each other's experience, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and in-depth research on teachers’ performance in aesthetic education, aesthetic education training programs, and campus cultural construction, and other aspects is put forward. A series of implementation plans for the promotion of aesthetic education, such as “synergy training” and “education of people with a view,” was provided as a practical experiment and a theoretical reference for promoting the rapid development of aesthetic education in the country.
The Domains of Aesthetics and Perception Theories: A Review Relevant to Practice-based Doctoral Theses in the Visual Arts
Authors: Riley Howard
Published: May 2024

Every doctoral thesis requires contextualization within its specific discipline's theoretical bases. For a visual arts practice-based thesis, the relevant bases include those of aesthetics and visual perception. This article reviews a Western history of the domain of visual aesthetic theory, addressing both the analytical philosophical efforts to define art and the continental approaches, which construe art as social construction. It then reviews a third, normative stance that foregrounds cognitive value before definition or sociological context—an aesthetic cognitivist position, art practice as a means of acquiring and sharing experiential knowledge and understanding. Contemporary concerns about environmental aesthetics and somaesthetics are also addressed in the Introduction. Aesthetic theories are related to visual perception theories as an aid to fulfilling the scholarly requirements for a practice-based thesis.

Published: May 2024

Iron is an essential trace mineral necessary for life, and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) is one of the most common haematological problems worldwide. Oral iron replacement therapy is a simple, inexpensive treatment option for the treatment of iron deficiency in stable patients, but there are many populations for whom IV iron is more effective. Therefore, IV iron should be considered when there are no contraindications, when poor response to oral iron is anticipated, when rapid hematologic responses are desired. Third generation intravenous (IV) iron therapies allow rapid and complete replacement dosing without the toxicity issues inherent with older iron preparations. This review provides an updated overview on diagnosis and management of IDA in patients with chronic conditions, preoperative and considers the properties of the different IV irons, and how differences might impact current and future clinical practice. We will discuss the benefits and limitations of oral versus intravenous iron replacement. Keywords: Anaemia; Intravenous Iron; Iron Deficiency; Oral Iron
Great Theorists of Central European Integration in Ukraine
Authors: Fedinec Csilla
Published: May 2024

‘Central Europe’ is a concept that varies in time and space. Ukraine is the second-largest country on the European continent, and is geographically located south-west of the Eastern European plain. The peculiarity of historical development and geographical location leads to the portrayal of Ukraine as a civilizational frontier area between the countries of the West and East. The nineteenth century was the period of birth of national histories, equally among non-historical (stateless) and historical (state) nations, while at the same time, at any historical moment, one can find the predecessor of the modern nation. The coherence of the Ukrainian narrative is ensured by proto-state and state forms: Kyivan Rus, the Principality of Galicia-Volhynia, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Cossack era, Ukrainian statehood in 1917–1921, Soviet era, Carpatho-Ukraine’s autonomous existence in 1938–1939, and independent Ukraine since 1991. The Kyivan Rus was oriented towards Byzantium, and the Principality towards Western Europe. The Hetmanate’s political structure recognised as a historical Cossack statehood. In the mid-17th century, the Cossack uprising led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky brought to the fore the dilemma of pro-Moscow or pro-Polish (in fact, pro-European) orientation. Since the late 18th century, Ukrainian territories have become the periphery of the empires, and ties with Europe have weakened. Europe almost forgot about Ukraine’s existence. The central powers of the First World War attempted to tear Ukraine away from Russia and push it politically and civilizationally towards the West, albeit without any international interest in the question of Ukrainian statehood aspirations. Later, the Soviet Union created Ukrainian borders, but deprived the Ukrainians of any political activity. Pro-European Union tendencies were always present in independent Ukraine, but only took definite shape following the Revolution of Dignity in 2014. In 2014 Ukraine and the European Union signed the Association Agreement, came into effect in 2017. Russia’s disastrous full-scale invasion against Ukraine accelerated Ukraine–EU rapprochement, and as a result Ukraine was granted EU candidate status in 2022. Europeanisation is not only a process of identity construction, but also a value-based supranational ‘ways of doing things’. In this context, Ukraine’s place in the buffer zone between Eastern and Western Europe has changed over the centuries. The study analyses the development of opinions on this topic, based on the works of some selected Ukrainian and Ukrainian-descent thinkers from the 19th century to the present day.
Great Theorists of Central European Integration in Hungary
Authors: Pallai László
Published: May 2024

In Hungary, too, the idea of Central European cooperation has constantly been on the agenda. The reasons for this interest are similar to those in Austria: with the emergence of the idea of the nation-state, existing political structures steadily lost their stability. Integrationist ideas have always been an alternative to the current power relations. Although these plans have remained present in the Hungarian political world, they have never had the chance to be realised: they have received minimal support from the great powers and society, and the peoples and governments of the region have not acted as partners for real cooperation. Miklós Wesselényi was one of the first to formulate a programme for the transformation of the Habsburg Empire and the need for reconciliation with various nationalities. Kossuth was the most prestigious figure of the Hungarian emigration after 1849, which is why the plan for the Danubian Confederation is mainly associated with him, though his fellow politicians formulated similar ideas. Oszkár Jászi’s plan for the reorganisation of the Monarchy was born too late, as its fate had been decided prior to its publication in 1918. Between the two World Wars, Gusztáv Gratz and Elemér Hantos were the most active organisers, publicists, and experts in the field of Central European cooperation.
Romanian Theorists of Central European Integration
Authors: Nastasă-Kovacs Lucian
Published: May 2024

In the following chapter, we examine the map of intellectuals who attempted to solve the issues faced by their society by creating a theoretical framework for the political transformation of their country and region. By the second half on the 19 th century, it had become clear that the Empire needed political and administrative reforms as well as a new approach toward the representation of minorities and different regions. Many young Transylvanian people undertook legal studies after 1849 as a reaction to the increasingly liberal attitudes of the provincial elite. In fact, among the most sought-after professions in the era were those of lawyers and notaries, a clear indication of a modernising society. In addition, attending an ‘academy’ or a law school constituted a somewhat convenient path that did not require a specific intellectual vocation but necessitated a university degree, which brought with it a social status and opened prospects for advancement. Moreover, these graduates were increasingly in demand to defend new types of interests, from the legal and economic affairs of various state or private institutions to those of individuals. Alexandru Petrino, Aurel C. Popovici, Ion Maiorescu, Constantin Isopescu-Grecul, and Nicolae Densusianu became pivotal figures in the debate and intellectual efforts related to the issue of federalisation or the reorganisation of the Empire and the distribution of political power based on a more equal principle. This fight was one of the most important movements of Romanian intellectuals and political leaders at the end of the 19 th century and the first decade of the 20 th century.
Great Theorists of Central European Integration in the Czech Republic
Authors: Tauchen Jaromír , Kolumber David
Published: May 2024

The chapter examines five prominent Czech thinkers whose works contributed to the issue of Central European integration. These key figures are discussed chronologically. First, the life and work of František Palacký (1798–1876) is presented. A politician, writer and the founder of modern Czech history, Palacký contributed significantly to the political life of the nineteenth century through the question of cooperation between the Slavic peoples of the Habsburg Monarchy; the relationship of the Czech lands to German integration; and later to the Compromise of 1867. Another important figure is the politician and Czechoslovak Prime Minister Karel Kramář (1860–1937), who based his ideas on close cooperation with Russia and developed the concept of the Slavic Empire. Although the Czechoslovak President Edvard Beneš (1884–1948) is often mentioned primarily in connection with the events of 1938 (Munich Agreement), the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia and 1948 (Communist putsch), Beneš had advocated the unification of the European area as a barrier against the hardships of war. These concepts were manifested not only in the Paris Peace Conference and proposals within the League of Nations, but also in the formation of the Little Entente during the interwar period and negotiations for the Czechoslovak–Polish Confederation during the Second World War. However, Beneš’s ideas ulti- mately failed thanks to France’s incompetence and the expansionism of the Soviet Union, which he underestimated. Another prominent integrationist theorist was the politician and national economist Jaromír Nečas (1888–1945), who developed the United States of Europe thesis and whose efforts at a peaceful solution to the Sudeten crisis are often overlooked. Czechoslovak and Czech president, playwright, and dissident Václav Havel (1936–2011) provided a philosophical dimension to the integration issue. Havel actively sought the early integration of Eastern Europe into Western European structures and was also the main initiator of close cooperation with Hungary and Poland, understanding the Euro-Atlantic orientation of the former socialist countries as a necessity. He simultaneously pointed out the mistakes that were gaining negative assessments, especially for the European Union. This chapter presents the aforementioned thinkers’ life stories and summarises their crucial works and speeches, illustrating their contribution to Central European integration.
Increased biomass production of Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. in nursery by the use of inorganic fertilizers
Authors: Kumar Jai , Siddiqui M.
Published: May 2024

The effect of inorganic fertilizers like Urea, Single Super phosphate and Muriate of Potash of various doses was tested on Albizia lebbeck to optimize biomass production under nursery conditions. The data of dry weight, number of root nodules per plant and root-shoot ratio was taken from second month to seventh month. Maximum dry weight was found in 46 mg N + 17 mg P2O5 + 30 mg K2O followed by 23 mg N + 8.5 mg P2O5 + 30 mg K2O at the end of seventh month. Maximum nodules were found between the ages of third to fourth month, thereafter decreasing trend was observed from fifth to seventh month in all treatments. The treatments 8.5 mg P2O5 + 30 mg K2O, 15 mg K2O and 45 mg K2O were generally more effective in forming more root nodules than other treatments. The treatments like 46 mg N, 25.5 mg P2O5 and 45 mg K2O gave lesser root-shoot ratio at the end of seventh month. Correlation between dry weight and other growth components shows that to optimize biomass production, parameters like collar diameter, seedling height, number of leaves per plant and root length needs more attention than other associated parameters. Therefore, the treatments 46 mg N + 17 mg P2O5 + 30 mg K2O and 23 mg N + 8.5 mg P2O5 + 30 mg K2O were identified as significantly superior to other treatments for producing increased biomass production.

Objective: This retrospective study explores the strategic plan formulated by AHMC Health System in California, USA, to sustain and improve quality of care and emergency department (ED) efficiency during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also analyzes the plan’s outcomes.Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed challenges for both individuals and healthcare industries alike, impacting decision-making and access to care. AHMC faced staff and resource shortages, patient reluctance, and difficulties adapting to rapidly evolving public health guidelines. These challenges highlighted the critical need for effective plans to maintain or improve healthcare quality and ED performance.Methods: AHMC adopted a comprehensive three-layer strategic plan in 2020. The first layer, “Pandemic Response,” focused on leadership, staff training and education, infection control, new treatments, and employee vaccination rates. The second layer, “ED Throughput,” set objectives for metrics such as door-to-doctor (door-to-doc) time, ancillary turnaround time (TAT), ED length of stay (LOS), and the left-without-being-seen (LWBS) rates. Progress was monitored through monthly improvement meetings. The third layer, “Quality Excellence,” tracked improvements in COVID-adapted objectives on quality initiatives, based on CMS Quality Star Ratings, Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades, and Yelp review scores.Results: By 2023, the three-layer strategic plan had led to many improvements in the quality of care and ED efficiency. AHMC identified 22,287 positive COVID-19 cases, expanded its ventilator inventory by 50%, and enhanced patient outcomes by applying updated treatments. Additionally, AHMC saw a 3% reduction in ED wait times and sustained its overall patient satisfaction rates, CMS Quality Star Rating, and Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade scores.Conclusions: AHMC’s three-layer strategic plan showed effectiveness in maintaining quality of care and ED efficiency during the COVID-19 pandemic. By focusing on “Pandemic Response,” “ED Throughput,” and “Quality Excellence,” AHMC was able to adapt to the rapidly evolving public health guidelines, expand its capacity to treat COVID-19 patients and sustain its overall patient safety, satisfaction, and quality ratings. The implementation of this plan highlights the importance of proactive and comprehensive strategies in managing healthcare crises.

Pancasila education plays a crucial role in shaping national character and identity from an early age. However, teaching complex concepts in Pancasila Education to elementary school students, especially at the fourth grade level, can be a challenge in itself. Apart from that, developing critical thinking skills at this age is also important, considering the importance of these abilities in understanding and applying national values. This research aims to determine the effect of using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model which is based on the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) concept in improving students' critical thinking skills in learning Pancasila Education in class IV elementary school. How the research was carried out at SDN Pagarsih. The experimental method used involved two groups of students: a control group that took part in conventional learning and a treatment group that applied the TPACK-based PBL model. The approach in this research is quantitative with a quasi-experimental type and nonequivalent pre-test and post-test control group design. The results of data analysis showed that students involved in the TPACK-based PBL Model showed significant improvements in their critical thinking abilities compared to the control group. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of the TPACk-based PBL model in learning can influence students' critical thinking abilities, especially in learning Pancasila education

Forty-one percent (41%) or 132 out of the 321 complaints lodged against personnel of the Police Regional Office Cordillera between 2018 and 2022, concerned allegations of improper conduct. One hundred eighty-five individuals residing in the area were responsible for the 132 reports of misconduct. The researchers conducted a study to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the testimonies provided by personnel charged with misconduct offenses and subsequently suspended at the Police Regional Office Cordillera. The research utilized a qualitative approach principally hermeneutical-phenomenological methodology. The study’s findings primarily reveal the extent of police officers’ involvement in misconduct offenses, the effects of suspension on their careers, and the support and intervention provided to suspended individuals. A variety of factors, including individual carelessness or negligence, vices, family disputes, and the non-payment of debts or obligations, contribute to individuals’ participation in misconduct cases. The suspension profoundly impacted the respondents’ experiences as police officers, resulting in a range of advantageous and disadvantageous outcomes. Furthermore, according to seven out of eight respondents, the Philippine National Police failed to provide coordinated assistance or support, and the overwhelming majority of those surveyed abstained from involvement in reform-related initiatives.

With today’s technology, things we struggled to do before have become much easier to accomplish. Artificial Intelligence (AI), for one, is the latest innovation that has changed the landscape of many industries, most notably the field of content writing. AI language models like ChatGPT have garnered attention for their capacity to generate text resembling human language and engage with user queries. This technology has the potential to alter how content is going to be produced moving forward, and content writers are said to be heavily affected. Using a qualitative approach, this study used the Diffusion of Innovation Theory developed by Everett M. Rogers in 1962 to understand how Filipino freelance content writers adopted the advent of ChatGPT, find out at what stage by which they have adopted it, and know the factors that influence their adoption. Out of five established adopter categories, the content writers were classified into three categories: innovators, early majority, and late majority. Innovators are the writers who tried the innovation first. The early majority, on the other hand, adopt new ideas before the average person. Lastly, the late majority are those who will only adopt after the majority has tried it. The current stage by which the writers are currently on has been identified in the process. All of them considered themselves in the continued use of ChatGPT, and the majority said that they use AI daily for their work, which is already a part of their content writing process. The factors influencing the writers’ adoption of the innovation are relative advantage, compatibility, and observability. ChatGPT has revolutionized how content writers perform their duties and responsibilities. Keywords: Content Writing, Content Writers, ChatGPT, Artificial Intelligence, Diffusion of Innovation

hemiparesis, horizontal gaze to right and anisocoria in a 19-year-old male motorcyclist involved in a collision. Unenhanced brain
computed tomography scan showed well defined infarction in the right frontotemporoparietal area. Digital subtraction angiography
showed complete occlusion of the proximal cervical right internal carotid artery. Moreover, intimal dissection was observed in distal
cervical left internal carotid artery which did not limit blood flow to the brain. A stent was placed at the site of dissection in the left
internal carotid artery. Intravenous heparin was commenced to avoid further thrombosis. He was discharged home 40 days after the
accident with oral anticoagulation. Extra cranial carotid artery dissection is a rare condition which may happen after a non-significant
neck trauma. Accordingly, the diagnosis of a cervical vascular dissection requires strong clinical suspicion

Objective: To investigate the changes in the retinal microcirculation in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients by swept-source optical
coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).
Patients and Methods: Thirty-seven patients with relapsing-remitting MS and 40 healthy volunteers were included into this crosssectional
study. Clinical history, Expanded Disability Status Scale and duration of MS were collected. SS-OCTA by deep range imaging
(DRI) OCT measurements were performed on all subjects. Macular perfusion parameters including superficial and deep foveal
avascular zones (FAZs, FAZd, respectively) (%), vascular densities of superficial capillary plexus (SCP) (%), deep capillary plexus
(DCP) (%) and choriocapillaris (CC) (%) were compared with healthy subjects.
Results: Vascular densities of SCP, DCP and CC were found to be statistically lower in the study group compared to the control group
(p = 0.02, p = 0.03, p = 0.03, respectively). FAZs and FAZd, areas were significantly higher in the study group (p = 0.02, p = 0.02,
respectively). Central macular thickness and subfoveal choroidal thickness were significantly lower than in the control group (p =
0.015, p = 0.047, respectively).
Conclusion: Evaluation of retinal blood flow in patients with MS is useful both for understanding the physiopathology of the disease
and in the clinical follow-up.

Introdução: A escrita é um processo complexo que envolve habilidades cognitivas, linguísticas e motoras e requer mediação ativa para seu aprendizado. Déficits motores na escrita podem resultar em dificuldades na aprendizagem, desde problemas na fluência da escrita até erros ortográficos, gerados pelo mau traçado. Assim, torna-se importante detectar alterações na escrita durante o primeiro ciclo do ensino fundamental, devido à incidência de disgrafia. Objetivo: Analisar o desempenho no traçado da escrita  de escolares do 3º ao 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental enquanto estratégia de rastreio para a identificação de sinais que caracterizam a disgrafia. Métodos: Participaram deste estudo 133 escolares, pertencentes ao 3°, 4° e 5° ano do Ensino Fundamental, de ambos os gêneros, distribuídos em Grupo I (GI): composto por 41 escolares do 3° ano; Grupo II (GII): composto por 43 escolares do 4° ano; Grupo III (GIII): composto por 49 escolares  do 5° ano. Como instrumento de avaliação foi utilizada uma Escala de Disgrafia para análise do traçado da escrita. Resultados: Os dados obtidos demonstraram significância estatística para as variáveis espaço irregular entre as palavras, movimento brusco, irregularidade de dimensões e curvaturas e angulações das arcadas do m, n, v, u, quando comparado o desempenho entre os grupos analisados. Conclusão: Conclui-se que foi possível identificar erros que caracterizam os três grupos e os escolares com risco para alterações motoras, a qual pode afetar a clareza e fluência da mensagem escrita.

O avanço tecnológico possibilitou a apropriação de novas tecnologias que permitem romper limitações e viabilizar a inovação no contexto educacional, nas atividades de pesquisa e extensão e, também, na inclusão de pessoas com deficiência. A utilização de impressoras 3D no ambiente escolar teve como intuito investigar seu uso como recurso didático e de extensão entre alunos e professores de uma IES do estado de São Paulo. Diante desse cenário, desenvolveu-se projeto para demonstrar a aplicação da impressão 3D na criação e construção de suportes de copos para pacientes acamados em um hospital regional especializado no tratamento de pessoas com câncer. A metodologia adotada foi de natureza aplicada, com abordagem qualitativa, exploratória e descritiva ao propor a utilização da manufatura aditiva em processos de ensino e extensão. Durante o desenvolvimento do protótipo realizaram-se visitas ao hospital para coleta de dados. Logo após selecionou-se um modelo para o teste, sendo que o material escolhido foi o ácido polilático (PLA) antibacteriano, para a confecção dos suportes. Posteriormente produziram-se 10 peças, as quais foram testadas no referido hospital, durante um período de seis meses, com pacientes acamados. Os resultados foram satisfatórios, pois as peças produzidas apresentaram boa resistência e capacidade de absorver impactos. Os relatos dos pacientes destacaram a facilidade em segurar o copo e levá-lo à boca, uma vez que essa atividade requer movimentos bilaterais, o que pode ser desafiador para eles. Além disso, os suportes de copos proporcionaram maior independência e autonomia aos pacientes.

A cada ano, cerca de 6,4 milhões de pessoas no mundo recebem o diagnóstico de um tumor maligno, e o câncer de boca se destaca como um dos mais prevalentes, respondendo por 10% desses casos. O diagnóstico precoce é crucial para o sucesso do tratamento, mas as realidades socioeconômicas e culturais dos pacientes muitas vezes são negligenciadas pelos serviços de saúde, limitando o acesso e a qualidade do atendimento. Este estudo documental qualitativo busca compreender as diversas dimensões do câncer de boca, explorando as representações individuais e sociais da doença e como elas influenciam a percepção da população e o acesso aos serviços de saúde. A partir dessa análise, propõe-se a formulação, o monitoramento e a avaliação de políticas públicas que visem: Ampliar o acesso a serviços de saúde bucal, focando em populações vulneráveis e com menor acesso à informação e acompanhamento médico. Combater o estigma associado à doença, desmistificando crenças e estereótipos que impedem a busca por ajuda. Promover a educação em saúde conscientizando a população sobre os riscos, sintomas e formas de prevenção do câncer de boca. Fortalecer a atenção primária à saúde, capacitando profissionais para o diagnóstico precoce e acompanhamento adequado dos pacientes. Humanizar o atendimento garantindo um ambiente acolhedor e sensível às necessidades físicas, emocionais e sociais dos pacientes. Ao abordar as diversas dimensões do câncer de boca, este estudo contribui para a construção de um sistema de saúde mais equânime e eficaz, capaz de garantir o direito à saúde e à vida digna para todos.

O artigo aborda a síndrome de alienação parental, destacando sua complexidade e impacto no bem-estar de crianças e adolescentes envolvidos em conflitos familiares. O direito desempenha um papel crucial na busca por harmonizar os interesses conflitantes das partes envolvidas e na proteção dos direitos das crianças. O objetivo principal é explorar as bases legais e conceituais da síndrome, suas características e repercussões jurídicas e psicológicas. Além disso, o artigo analisa as medidas de prevenção e enfrentamento adotadas pelo Direito, examina os direitos e proteções legais conferidos às crianças e adolescentes envolvidos, e propõe reflexões e recomendações embasadas para aprimorar a atuação do Direito diante da síndrome de alienação parental. Em relação a definição e características da síndrome de alienação parental, destaca-se a visão de Richard Gardner, que a considera uma combinação de lavagem cerebral e contribuições da própria criança. A síndrome ocorre em disputas de custódia de crianças, visando distorcer a imagem de um dos pais. A alienação parental é descrita como um comportamento que induz a criança a exercer uma influência negativa sobre o outro progenitor, levando a conflitos e dificuldades de comunicação. A importância dos critérios para identificação da síndrome é ressaltada, enfatizando a necessidade de reconhecer os sinais e realizar estudos multidisciplinares para lidar com essa questão complexa.

Recently, Covid-19 and other pandemics have led to a surge in the production and utilization of personal face masks, resulting in high increases in waste generation. Improper disposal of such waste endangers living organisms and the environment as most of these masks contain derivatives of plastics. Moreover, conventional disposal methods, such as incineration and landfills are not sustainable for dealing with such plastic-sourced wastes. This research proposes a creative solution to address such issues by incorporating face masks into the concrete mix. In this research, face masks were cut into rectangular pieces of approximately 2cm by 4 cm and added to the concrete mix at different percentages: 2%, 2.5%, 5%, and 10% by volume. Samples of cubes and cylinders from each mix were casted and examined the effect of masks on the strength of concrete. The compression test results presented valuable insights into the impact of adding masks to concrete and suggested that adding 2% - 2.5% of face mask by volume to the concrete mix can be enhanced or at least did not negatively impact the concrete strength. Such results are beneficial in reducing the amount of generated waste masks to be used in concrete without any negative impact on concrete properties.
