Esta investigación es fundamental para el desarrollo sostenible de la Caesalpinia spinosa en San José de Chocón y Chingazo Alto, ubicados en el cantón Guano, provincia de Chimborazo. El objetivo principal fue elaborar un plan de manejo para la especie, apoyando su conservación y uso sostenible. Se realizaron extensas salidas de campo para la georreferenciación, censos, análisis dasométricos y morfológicos, evaluaciones fitosanitarias y estimaciones del carbono fijado, junto con un análisis de la relación beneficio/costo de los niveles de producción. Se empleó un enfoque metodológico que incluyó análisis de suelo y determinación de la salud vegetativa (NDVI) de C. spinosa. Los resultados mostraron similitudes entre las dos localidades en términos de altura, diámetro a la altura del pecho (DAP) y diámetro de copa. Además, se observó una predominancia de árboles bifurcados y un total significativo de biomasa y carbono fijado. A pesar de las limitaciones como el escaso manejo y la deficiencia nutricional del suelo, los niveles de producción del guarango mostraron valores rentables. La investigación concluye que es esencial implementar el plan de manejo propuesto, dado que C. spinosa y las áreas estudiadas requieren mejoras significativas en producción y desarrollo para su conservación y uso sostenible.
Poslovno pravo i pravo održivog razvoja – između profitabilnosti i etičnosti

As for applying the knowledge from EU law, the author points out two tendencies affecting company law in the context of sustainability. The first one is the legal duty of the companies to incorporate the statement of purpose, which is no longer limited to profit. The second one is the corporate duty of care in line with ESG standards as well as the corporate purpose. It is an integral part of a company’s business and culture. Having in mind French, German or Dutch law, directors are expected to promote long-term business success, to take care of the open list of stakeholders’ interests and to apply corporate due diligence standards. Thought leaders, however, generally describe ESG as a business strategy that creates long-term stakeholder value by addressing social, economic, and environmental opportunities and risks that are material to a company. Preservation as well as environmental protection is one of the biggest challenges that modern generations will have to face. The term green transition has been coined as an expression of the efforts to ensure the transition to a sustainable business model in order to preserve the ecosystem and the planet as such. Non-financial reporting plays a very important role in the green transition process. Integral part of the EU agenda remains the discussion about corporate directors’ duties in the context of human rights as well as environmental risks. There is no doubt that the key word of the new corporate governance paradigm is risk.

A conflict of jurisdiction in administrative proceedings occurs when two authorities declare themselves competent (positive conflict) or not competent (negative conflict) to act in the same administrative matter (case). The regulations that determine the authorities responsible for resolving conflicts of jurisdiction contain certain ambiguities, which can be interpreted as overlapping jurisdiction for resolving conflicts of jurisdiction, on the one hand, and gaps in terms of jurisdiction for resolving conflicts of jurisdiction between certain categories of administrative entities, on the other hand. In this sense, the paper talks about the ‘conflict of jurisdiction’, in the first case ‘positive’, and in the second ‘negative’. We are not talking about real conflicts of jurisdiction, because they can arise only with respect to a specific administrative matter, but about vague norms that regulate or fail to adequately regulate jurisdiction for resolving conflicts of jurisdiction, which can lead to problems in determining the authority responsible for resolving conflicts of jurisdiction.
Relative age effect in Mexican professional and youth soccer
Authors: Fritzler Wolfgang R.
Published: September 2024

In youth football, categories are defined by the players’ year of birth. In one category, there can be an age difference of almost 12 months, which may manifest itself in considerable physical differences. The impact of this "relative age" is reflected in elite teams by an overrepresentation of players born in the first months of the year, called "Relative Age Effect" (RAE). In the present study, this bias was analyzed among the 4499 Mexican players (3531 men, 968 women), registered by the 18 professional clubs for the 2022 season in men’s First Division, their U20, U18, U17, U16, U14 categories, women's First Division, and their U17 categories. From every player were collected: birthday, playing position, minutes played for their teams, and their teams’ final rank in the National Championships. In all categories, except women's First Division, a statistically significant RAE was found, whose size was greater in the lower categories than in the major ones. The playing positions that presented a higher size of RAE were not the same in the different categories. A positive correlation was found between RAE and individual and team performances. These results indicate the need to take a deeper look at the selection and development processes of talented players in Mexico, because players initially favored by their greater relative age do not reach the professional soccer teams in the same proportion.
O colapso humano representado pelo lixo
Authors: Cavichiolo Rafael Gustavo , Salles Filho Nei Alberto
Published: September 2024

Trata-se de um artigo que aborda os principais eixos utilizados na construção de texto apresentado para obtenção do título de doutor e que contemplou a interface entre aspectos humanos relacionados ao lixo e o modo de vida amparado no indivíduo em detrimento do coletivo, com enfoque no consumo e consumismo, principais vertentes para a produção do lixo. O texto aborda questões relacionadas com as Declarações dos Direitos do Homem e do Cidadão (1789), a Declaração de Direitos Humanos (1948) e a Declaração de Estocolmo sobre o Ambiente Humano (1972), procurando identificar o descolamento da humanidade com relação à natureza. Como aspectos degradantes da condição humana, e, portanto, correlacionados a um possível colapso do modelo social vigente, são abordadas questões relativas aos números de homicídios dolosos e suas vítimas, suicídios e depressão, havendo correlação de variáveis quando comparadas com o lixo. Com a finalidade de apresentar inferências estatísticas, foram coletados dados relacionados à produção e ao consumo de água e energia elétrica, como também dos índices GINI e Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano no Brasil, organizando-se um modelo de regressão estatística que explica em 98% a fenomenologia relacionada ao lixo, permitindo, também, a sua medição indireta, a partir da água.

Este artigo de reflexão resulta do trabalho desenvolvido, sob o título: A Condessa de Almaviva: Caracterização psicológica e as suas especificidades técnico vocais, no âmbito da Prova de Aptidão Artística do Curso Secundário de Canto. O trabalho centra-se na história desenvolvida pelos seus autores, As Bodas de Fígaro, e compreende a análise psicológica das personagens, seu contexto histórico e contributo no que concerne à capacidade de romper com as questões e aspetos instituídos, representa, por isso, uma crítica social dirigida à aristocracia, à alta sociedade e ao poder. A caracterização psicológica das personagens permitiu um entendimento vasto sobre o tempo histórico e, consequentemente, possibilitou uma interpretação bem definida e contextualizada da ópera no âmbito do enredo da ação. Embora a Condessa seja apresentada, inicialmente, como uma personagem que ostenta riqueza e estatuto social, no final, revela-se uma personagem de grande complexidade emocional, desejando evocar grandes emoções e retratando diversos problemas e dificuldades da época.

Published: September 2024

O trabalho em apreço tem por objetivo central a construção de uma narrativa analítica que possa pontuar situações controvertidas na execução da Copa do Mundo FIFA de 2022, evento realizado no Qatar, para tanto, o ponto de partida utilizado para a realização do presente estudo, foi a análise crítica do discurso, tendo como parâmetro e categoria de análise o sportswashing, termo atualmente empregado na literatura que diz respeito a utilização do esporte como mecanismo de desvio de atenção para eventuais violações de cunho moral e social, presentes em determinadas sociedades, organismos ou Estados. A pesquisa baseou-se no discurso de abertura do evento retromencionado, proferido pelo emir (monarca/príncipe) do Qatar Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, confrontando-o com a realidade social qatari, sobretudo no que tange a violação dos Direitos Humanos consagrados pela comunidade internacional. Em uma concepção mais genérica o artigo, também, faz menção a outros acontecidos no perpassar da história que tiveram o sportswashing como plano de fundo, de modo a identificar que, todavia, estejamos discorrendo acerca de um termo relativamente novo, sua execução já é bastante corriqueira. A pesquisa, portanto, foi construída a partir da abordagem qualitativa, valendo-se da análise do referencial teórico, bem como de casos específico, correlatos ao tema principal em estudo.

Umbu fruit is rich in vitamin C and presents excellent antioxidant activity, yet its industrial processing uses only the pulp, while the residues are discarded. The residues present important nutritional properties, able to fight free radicals in the human body, and in the form of flour, might contribute reduce food insecurity and environmental waste. In view of this, our objective was to develop bread using flour from the husks and seeds of Umbu fruit as a partial replacement for wheat flour, and to assess its physical, physical-chemical, bioactive, microbiological, and sensory properties. For this, flour was prepared from Umbu wastes and used in the production of breads in concentrations of 0, 10, 20, and 30%. Respectively, the control at 0% = PC, 10% = P10, 20% = P20, and 30% = P30. Physical-chemical characterization, determination of total phenolic compounds and vitamin C, instrumental colorimetry, microbiological and sensory analyses were performed. The P20 and P30 breads presented lower humidity and pH, with higher ash, protein, lipids, acidity, total phenolic compounds, and vitamin C than the control. By instrumental color, the P20 and P30 breads were both darker and greener than the controls (PC). For microbiological analysis, all formulations were within norms established for human consumption. By sensory analysis, the breads supplemented with the Umbu residues flour were well received, yet with lower test values than the controls for all attributes and for intentions purchase. Yet in view of the above, flour made from Umbu residues remains a promising ingredient for incorporation into both breads and other bakery industry products.

Published: September 2024

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease of autoimmune origin in which unbalanced nutrition can lead to clinical repercussions. Based on this assumption, the following question arises: are individuals aware that eating certain foods can negatively influence their treatment? The aim of this study was to analyse the main foods consumed by members of the Amazonas Lupus Patient Support Association. To this end, recruitment was carried out by means of an invitation sent out on the Association's WhatsApp group, with only people over the age of 18 as a criterion for participation. The interviews took place via video call, with the application of a food frequency questionnaire. Among the food categories, the three most consumed were: Carbohydrates (sugar, rice and French bread), Proteins (eggs, chicken and fish), Beverages (coffee with milk, coffee and chocolate milk), Dairy products (butter, cheese and yoghurt) and ultra-processed foods (sardines, tuna and breaded chicken). The study concluded that the majority of those surveyed have a diet lacking in vitamins, minerals and important macronutrients in their daily lives. Another conclusion of this research is that the lack of a balanced diet in lupus patients is linked to misinformation, lack of professional support and limited financial resources to obtain a healthy diet.
US monetary policy and business cycles in developing countries
Authors: Bannikova Viktoria  A. , Sugaipov Deni R.
Published: September 2024

The article examines modeling the impact of news shocks of US monetary policy on developing countries. The study analyzes the transmission mechanism of the Federal Reserve's interest rate news shock. The authors argue that the volatility of macroeconomic indicators in emerging economies can be explained by changes in monetary policy in other countries, and highlight the main channels of influence: financial sector indicators and trade indicators. In this paper the authors first use the LSDV-estimator of the panel vector autoregression and identify unexpected and news shocks. To achieve this goal, quarterly data was collected from the first quarter of 1998 to the third quarter of 2017 for Russia, along with data starting from the first quarter of 1995 for several developing countries. The results obtained indicate that the expected tightening of US monetary policy leads to a decrease in output, investment, and weakening of exchange rate in Russia. The monetary news regarding an increase in the US Federal Reserve's interest rate in two quarters also results in a short-term increase in trade balance and interest rates. News about future economic developments affects macroeconomic indicators up to two quarters before the implementation of monetary policy changes. Additionally, the news shock accounts for up to 11% of the variation in macroeconomic indicators in Russia. Accordingly, the monetary policy news shock is found to be as significant as an unexpected shock. The paper concludes with the analysis of the role played by various financial and trade channels.

Objective: The objective of this narrative literature review article is to address the electronic cigarette, an invention created in recent years, which has been widely used by adolescents, young people and adults, and is a product that has been causing several problems in the oral mucosa, dental structure and oral health, impacting in an extremely negative way. Methodology: To construct this narrative literature review article, a methodology was outlined in a thoughtful and strategic way, so that the maximum amount of information that could be added to the topic of the article could be obtained from online books, doctoral and master's theses, course completion papers, case reports, review articles, monographs, PICs and research on the topic addressed. Thus, to obtain this range of information, research was carried out in the following databases and websites: DeCs, BVS/BIREME, PROSPERO, Web of Science, CAPES Periodicals Portal, Science Direct, Scielo, PUBMED Central, The Cochrane Library, LUMEN ET VIRTUS Magazine, FT Magazine, Research, society and development journal combined with the Google Academy website. Results: The electronic cigarette was initially created as something that was supposed to be less corrosive and would cause fewer problems than the conventional cigarette, being something that was created for people who already smoke, so that they would start using this “healthier” cigarette, until the dependence diminished so that smokers could later quit all types of cigarettes. Conclusion: Thus, it is seen that the electronic cigarette has a range of harmful effects on the human body, being a product that causes problems in the oral cavity.

Bullying is one of the biggest challenges faced by schools, deeply impacting students' emotional health and development. Recognized as a form of systematic violence by the World Health Organization (WHO), bullying has serious consequences, ranging from anxiety and social withdrawal to lasting psychological problems. In Brazil, the National School Health Survey (PENSE, 2022) reveals that one in five young people engages in bullying. This study aims to discuss strategies to prevent and combat bullying, focusing on the implementation of Help Teams, a form of youth leadership that promotes healthy coexistence and reduces violence. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach, based on a literature review and analysis of documentary and legislative data, including studies by Tognetta (2022), Loch et al. (2020), and Allen and Kern (2017). The results indicate that Help Teams are an effective strategy to improve school climate and student well-being, providing a reduction in cases of bullying. However, implementation faces challenges, such as a lack of resources and the need for ongoing training for educators. The study concludes that, for schools to become spaces for welcoming and preventing conflicts, a collective effort from the school community, institutional support and well-implemented public policies are necessary, with youth leadership as a fundamental tool.
EXPLORING POSSIBILITIES IN THE STELLARIUM FOR TEACHING ASTRONOMY IN THE EARLY YEARS OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION
Authors: Albrecht Evonir , Galasso Bruno
Published: September 2024

Astronomy is considered one of the oldest sciences of humanity. Its themes have always fascinated human beings. In this concept, this study aims to analyze the possibilities of using a Learning Object, the Stellarium software, in the classroom in the early years of Elementary School. The study is part of the qualitative research model and, to examine the Learning Object, descriptive analysis will be used, as it is the one that best suits the purpose of this study. The theoretical bases are based on Meaningful Learning, which values ​​prior knowledge, considered as the foundation for new knowledge. In this context, since Learning Objects can help teachers in their practice, Stellarium stands out as having the potential to provide opportunities for learning this science, as well as bringing technologies closer to the classroom. The results obtained demonstrate that this software can be used to work with Astronomy in the different years of Elementary School, in line with what is proposed by the BNCC, with a strong aspect for innovation. The teaching sequences proposed in this work aim to stimulate the insertion of technologies in the teaching-learning process.
THE PROCESS OF CONSTITUTIONALIZATION OF INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL: THE CHALLENGES OF THE EUROPEAN COURT AND THE INTER-AMERICAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Authors: da Silva Alice Rocha , Gontijo André Pires
Published: September 2024

This article discusses the process of constitutionalization of international law, based on an examination of the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR). Through a bibliographical review, the objectives were to present the idea of ​​constitutionalization at the international level, based on an examination of the precedents of regional protection systems; then, the aim was to analyze the consolidation of the use of the constitutional perspective by the ECHR and the IACHR in their judgments. As a hypothesis, it is believed that regional protection systems develop the constitutional approach to international law through their judgments on human rights. Filling gaps in conventional international law, resorting to custom to prove its existence and the possibility of exercising “conventionality control” in cases related to human rights violations are some of the ways in which certain situations are subject to law and its jurisdiction. As a result, it was found that the hypothesis was partially confirmed. By examining the cases, it is clear that each regional system for the protection of human rights has a specific characteristic, within which it must act for the constitutional development of international law. In this regard, it can be inferred from the examination of the cases of the ECtHR and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights that the constitutionalization of international law can be constructed from both bottom-up and top-down perspectives, using the sources of international law – customs, the case law of the regional courts themselves and the general principles of law – to fill the gaps in the international legal system.

Introdução: A autolesão é uma ação contra o próprio corpo, que tem uma possível associação com a saúde mental. Esse panorama é de suma importância a ser analisado, para se entender a etiologia de forma mais específica, e então, combater efetivamente as autolesões e seus malefícios. Objetivo: Analisar o perfil epidemiológico de lesões autoprovocadas por mulheres no estado de São Paulo. Método: Estudo epidemiológico, transversal, baseado na análise de dados da plataforma DATASUS. Analisou-se casos de 2018 a 2022 referentes à autolesão em mulheres, no estado de São Paulo. Resultados: Observou-se um total de 61.568 casos de autolesão em mulheres, na faixa etária de 20 a 59 anos, sendo dentre eles o maior índice de autolesão no ano de 2022 com 27% e entre a faixa etária de 20 a 29 anos, correspondendo a 44% do total. Além disso, se avaliou também os indicadores sociais relacionados à autolesão e se observou discrepâncias, quanto à raça e quanto à escolaridade. Discussão: Os resultados analisados demonstraram uma variação significativa entre os indicadores sociais, principalmente em relação a idade e cor. Ainda não foi possível constatar a relação direta com a pandemia do COVID-19, mas isso se deve em parte ao impacto ocasionado pela subnotificação dos dados e do tipo de estudo.
TECHNOLOGICAL PRACTICE MEDIATED BY REFERENCE GROUPS: A THREE-DIMENSIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Freitas Alan Araújo
Published: September 2024

The article aims to understand how the organizational logic of a family budget unit facilitates dialogue between the members of that unit and establishes the intermediation of information and communication between these individuals. In other words, does the family context influence technological practice and learning? Technological praxis also depends on the ability to use technology, mainly developed during schooling. Is the correlation between formal education and technological learning significant? A three-dimensional analytical model is proposed that simultaneously evaluates three independent variable factors that can directly and indirectly interfere with an individual's technological practice (dependent variable). First is the individual's access to communication technologies in their family. Secondly, the level of education achieved by the individual. Thirdly, access to communication and information technologies (ICTs) in the family of destination. Quantitative methodologies (path analysis) are used to analyze data and information on Brazil based on data from the National Household Sampling Survey (PNAD/2014).
Tradução intersemiótica: Mimese, original ou polifônica?
Authors: Luiz Tiago Marques , Lourenço Lucilia Teodora Villela de Leitgeb
Published: September 2024

Este estudo investiga a tradução intersemiótica no contexto da mimese, originalidade e polifonia, propondo uma leitura aprofundada sobre a transposição de significados entre diferentes sistemas de signos. Com base nas teorias de Roman Jakobson (2001), Patrice Pavis (2015), argumenta-se que a tradução intersemiótica vai além da simples conversão de um meio para outro, atuando como um motor de inovação criativa e expressão artística diversificada. Por meio da análise semiótica, fundamentada nos trabalhos de Charles Sanders Peirce (2000) e Else Lopes Vieira (1992), e da intertextualidade discutida por Julia Kristeva (2005), examinamos o papel do interpretante na geração de novas dimensões de significado dentro de contextos intertextuais. Este trabalho também revisita o conceito de mimese à luz de Aristóteles (2004) e da crítica contemporânea de Flávio René Kothe (2019), destacando a reinterpretação e transformação criativa como elementos centrais da produção artística. Ademais, a polifonia, baseada nas ideias de Mikhail Bakhtin (2002), é analisada como um princípio essencial que enriquece a tradução intersemiótica com múltiplas camadas de interpretação, refletindo a natureza dialógica da arte. Concluímos que a interação entre mimese, originalidade e polifonia não apenas desafia as fronteiras tradicionais entre as artes, mas também reafirma a importância do diálogo intercultural e intertextual na criação e recepção artísticas contemporâneas. Finalmente, sustentamos que a tradução intersemiótica não é apenas um processo de transposição de conteúdo entre mídias; trata-se de uma manifestação da natureza fluida e multifacetada da criatividade humana, um lembrete de que, no tecido da expressão artística, as fronteiras são apenas pontos de partida para novas descobertas.

Published: September 2024

Caring is a human activity that is defined as a relationship and a process whose purpose goes beyond simply treating illnesses. In the field of nursing, care is considered the essence of the profession. Humanized care is essential in the ethical and social values of nurse-patient care, implying the application of ethical principles and the student's self-perception. This process is based on the connection and shared experiences between the nurse and the patient. The objective of this research was to determine the level of applicability of humanized care in relation to the sociodemographic data of the Nursing students of the Adventist Technological Institute of Ecuador, Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas 2021. No relationship was found between the age of the students and the perception of humanized care (X² = 6.382; P = 0.1759). There was also no association between gender and humanized care (X² = 1.787; P = 0.4092). The students' degree did not show a relationship with humanized care (X² = 3.414; P = 0.1814). However, there is a significant relationship between the level of the student cycle and humanized care (X² = 17.615; P = 0.024) at the regular level. The results suggest that academic development influences the ability to provide more humanized care

Introduction: The research is based on the evaluation and analysis of drug stock management in the Emergency Department of Peltier University Hospital Center in Djibouti. Methods: An observational, longitudinal and descriptive study was conducted from December 1, 2023 to April 30, 2024. The aim was to describe the diseases with the highest incidence in the emergency department and to organize a stock of medicines. Results: the health problems that contributed the greatest number of patients were cerebrovascular diseases and renal failure with a length of stay of 27 and 66 hours respectively. In relation to the stages of drug acquisition management, it was possible to analyze that, although there are most of the drugs in the institution, their use and consumption is deficient since there is no physical or documented existence of a stock of drugs in the emergency department, which is expressed in the prolongation of the stay in the service. A medication guide was developed to improve the emergency stock and better patient management. Conclusions: The lack of a stock of medicines in the emergency department affected the stage (use - consumption), which is the most important for the adequate management of the patient, thus prolonging the stay in the service

Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most important stabilizers of the knee that prevents anterior translation of the tibia over the femur. ACL injuries commonly occur during sports and are usually caused by sudden stops or changes in direction during running, jumping and landing.Objective: To describe the frequency of anterior cruciate ligament injuries and their risk factors in young athletes attended at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Center of the city of Rosario (Argentina) in the year 2023.Materials and methods: Quantitative, descriptive, observational, cross-sectional and retrospective study, carried out at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Center (COT) from April to September 2023. The population consisted of all patients aged between 18 and 25 years, regardless of sex, who practice high-impact sports on the knee and who consulted for knee injury. The collection instrument was the medical records. The variables were summarized through central position measures (mean) and dispersion measures (range and standard deviation) and expressed in absolute and relative frequency.Results: Thirty medical records were analyzed, of which 100% presented some ACL injury. The mean age was 21.57 ± 2.30 years, 67% were male and 33% female. Regarding the type of injury, 63% presented sprain and 37% tear. Twenty-seven percent played field hockey and rugby respectively, 20% played soccer, 13% basketball, 10% tennis and 3% volleyball. The risk factors associated with ACL injuries found in the studied population were among the intrinsic (50%) the neuromuscular deficit (37%) and genetic risk (13%); while among the extrinsic (23%) were the type of footwear (13%) used and the surface of the field (10%).Conclusions: Patients with ACL injuries evaluated were on average 21.57 ± 2.30 years old with a male: female ratio of 2:1. The most common symptoms were walking instability, edema, swelling, and pain. The most common sports associated with anterior cruciate ligament injuries were field hockey, rugby and soccer. Neuromuscular deficit, genetic risk, improper footwear and unstable field surface were found to be risk factors

Levitating Magnetic Insoles: A Novel Approach to Alleviating Plantar Fasciitis Through the Reduction and Redistribution of Plantar Pressures
Authors: Yu Yue
Published: September 2024

Plantar fasciitis, a leading cause of foot pain, affects a significant portion of the population, with an estimated prevalence of 10% during an individual’s lifetime. This debilitating condition can result in substantial healthcare costs and decreased quality of life. The pain is attributed to the inflammation of the plantar fascia, which is crucial for supporting the foot's arch. Risk factors for plantar fasciitis include obesity, sedentary lifestyles, improper footwear, and biomechanical abnormalities. Current treatment options are primarily conservative, with varying levels of success. In response, an affordable, lightweight, and soft, magnetic insole was developed as a novel approach to alleviate plantar fasciitis by reducing and redistributing plantar pressures with neodymium magnets. The final prototype achieves a magnetic repulsion force of approximately 84.57 lbs. and incorporates sensor modules to monitor data. The device also facilitates real-time data visualization between Arduino and personal devices, providing valuable insights into plantar pressure and walking characteristics for various patients. Data analysis and structural optimization are further enhanced through the use of MATLAB and Excel, which generate heatmaps to visualize plantar pressure distribution. Future research should focus on increasing the magnetic intensity to improve pain relief effectiveness and incorporating personalized disease-specific adjustments to optimize the magnet placement within the sole. By addressing the prevalent issue of foot pain and offering a potential solution for plantar fasciitis, our levitating magnetic insoles demonstrate significant potential for enhancing the quality of life for a large portion of the population.
“Navigating a Path Beyond the Finish Line” — How Can Post-Retirement Support Enhance the Transition for Athletes After Retirement in China?
Authors: Zhang Zilin
Published: September 2024

This paper investigates the post-retirement challenges faced by Chinese athletes and proposes solutions to improve their career transitions. Despite government efforts, many Chinese athletes—primarily from economically disadvantaged families—continue to struggle with inadequate education, health issues, and limited employment opportunities. This study analyzes existing research and benchmarks international athlete transition systems, seeking ways to improve China’s current approach. By comparing China’s system with those in other countries, the findings highlight the need for comprehensive education, better healthcare, and enhanced employment opportunities for retired athletes. Key recommendations include providing short-term pre-retirement training focused on life after sports, improving long-term educational preparation, and encouraging athletes to develop intellectual property and foster a positive public image for external financial stability. In addition, government policies should be improved to offer more appropriate job opportunities and stronger post-retirement support. By refining the current athlete retirement system, this paper aims to facilitate a smoother transition for athletes as they navigate beyond their sports careers.

For human resource development, enhancing organizational synergy and collaboration, the Ministry of Finance implements a cross-functional program involving mutation and promotion among Echelon I Units of the Ministry of Finance. The main point of this research is how job satisfaction and performance are affected by this cross-functional program, considering mutation, promotion, and compensation in their new positions. This research focuses on forty supervisory-level employees who are directly engaged in the cross-functional program, spread across various regions in Indonesia. The independent variables in this research are mutation, promotion, and compensation, while the dependent variable is performance, with job satisfaction acting as an intervening variable. The variables were measured using a Likert scale. Subsequently, data were analyzed using PLS 3.0. The research results indicate that mutation does not significantly influences job satisfaction, promotion and compensation, however, have a positive impact on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction, mutation, and compensation collectively affect performance, while promotion does not exert a significant influence on performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between mutation and performance, but it does mediate the effects of promotion and compensation on performance.
