O neo-institucionalismo e suas implicações na constituição do ambiente legal das organizações
Authors: Czajkowski Junior Sérgio , Santos Caroline Coradassi Almeida
Published: March 2024

Análises em torno do processo de constituição do ambiente legal das organizações são de grande importância para estudos organizacionais pois, através do emprego de conceitos como: endogeneidade e institucionalização, bem como de outras contribuições oriundas do (neo)Institucionalismo, é possível que se rompa com a crença um tanto quanto arraigada, nos meios acadêmicos mais tradicionais, em torno de uma suposta exogeneidade das leis, por parte das organizações e dos ordenamentos jurídicos. E, a exemplo do procurar-se-á demonstrar, em termos concretos, observa-se a prevalência de modelos endógenos, frente à valorização de mecanismos técnicos que são ajustados, tendo-se em vista às exigências legais, em prol da subsequente convalidação de uma maior legitimidade institucional. Tendo-se em vista tal cenário, verifica-se, em paralelo, uma lacuna em torno de um aprofundamento acerca dos mecanismos internos e das pressões externas que fazem com que as organizações sejam acometidas por práticas endógenas, processo este que também será abarcado. Para tanto, em termos metodológicos optou-se por uma revisão crítica da literatura (neo)institucionalista clássica, sendo que, durante os trabalhos, percebeu-se que esta epistemologia apresenta avanços nos estudos organizacionais por afastar-se da lógica funcionalista, ainda excessivamente calcada na lógica: pressões x respostas, ao mesmo tempo em que enxerga as organizações estando vinculadas a dois ambientes: o técnico e o institucional. Além do mais, a perspectiva (neo)institucionalista vislumbra as práticas endógenas sob um prisma mais amplo, as concebendo via uma leitura multicausal, fatores estes que enaltecem tal epistemologia, cujos usos devem ser valorizados ainda mais pela academia e pelo mercado.

O tema das soluções baseadas na natureza tem se destacado como uma alternativa promissora para enfrentar desafios socioambientais. Trata-se de uma abordagem que busca utilizar a própria natureza como fonte de soluções para problemas que afetam a qualidade de vida das pessoas e a sustentabilidade do planeta no âmbito das mudanças climáticas. As soluções baseadas na natureza podem ser aplicadas em diferentes áreas, como a gestão de recursos hídricos, o planejamento urbano, a agricultura sustentável, entre outras. A implementação dessas soluções pode trazer benefícios significativos para a conservação dos ecossistemas, a redução dos riscos de desastres naturais, a adaptação às mudanças climáticas e a promoção do bem-estar social e econômico das comunidades locais. Nesse sentido, é importante compreender as normas, leis e políticas públicas relacionadas ao tema. O presente artigo busca explorar a relevância sobre o tema na atualidade e seus impactos na sociedade, compreender quais são as principais normas incidentes sobre a matéria no Brasil e em outros países e propor soluções para as lacunas normativas identificadas. O estudo adotou a metodologia de análise bibliográfica e exploratória. Os dados encontrados apontam que no Brasil o tema é tratado de forma genérica e esparsa. Observa-se que, tanto no Brasil quanto em outros países, as normas sobre soluções baseadas na natureza são incipientes e, na maioria dos casos, demandam maior regulação. Foram identificadas lacunas significantes sobre o tema, mas se verificou que há conteúdo na legislação internacional que pode servir de base para uma futura regulação do assunto no Brasil. A partir das experiências encontradas, é possível extrair contribuições para uma regulação mais assertiva em propostas normativas nacionais.

Published: March 2024

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the transition to online education has posed significant challenges for nursing students worldwide. This study explores the multifaceted obstacles encountered during this shift and aims to provide insights for improving online nursing education. Utilizing a descriptive cross-sectional quantitative research design, data was collected from 73 final-year nursing students at Saida Waheed FMH College of Nursing, Lahore, using a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed various domains, including learning effectiveness, software proficiency, instructor support, communication, course design, and psychosocial experiences. The results revealed a spectrum of student experiences, ranging from perceived benefits to substantial challenges adapting to online learning. While some students reported proficiency in online education tools, others faced difficulties navigating technology and accessing course materials. Instructor support emerged as a critical factor influencing students' satisfaction and learning outcomes, with clear communication and timely feedback paramount. Additionally, challenges related to course design and psychosocial experiences significantly impacted students' engagement and motivation. By comparing these findings with previous research, common themes and areas for improvement in online nursing education were identified. The study underscores the importance of targeted interventions to address technological barriers, enhance instructional support, optimize course design, and prioritize students' psychosocial well-being in online learning environments. Ultimately, these insights can inform the development of effective strategies to enhance the quality and effectiveness of online nursing education programs.

Published: March 2024

Resumen: El presente trabajo propone que se ponga a disposición y consideración el poder replantear en los programas de educación física por parte de la secretaría de educación pública, un método de enseñanza comprensiva llamado (TGFU) Teaching Games For Understanding, método creado a principios de los 80, el cual busca desarrollar la motivación intrínseca, la participación, así como la mejora de las aptitudes físicas en los alumnos. Está demostrado a través de diferentes publicaciones en varios países la aplicación de este método tanto en el deporte como en las sesiones de educación física existe una nula o muy poca bibliografía de este método aplicado en México, de tal manera que la finalidad de este documento es proponer el que se agregue este método u otro que pueda mejorar la inclusión hacia las clases de educación física de todos aquellos niños en niñas porque no participan por no tener habilidades técnicas o físicas, mejorando su motivación e interés hacia la clase. Finalmente se concluye que es crítico realizar un cambio radical en la manera de enseñar la educación por el analfabetismo en cultura física que se viene arrastrando de años y que se exponenció gracias a la pandemia.

The notion of neutrosophic m-polar fuzzy sets is much wider than the notion of m-polar fuzzy sets. In this paper, we apply the theory of neutrosophic m-polar fuzzy set on UP-algebras. We introduce the concepts of neutrosophic m-polar fuzzy subalgebras, neutrosophic m-polar fuzzy ideals and neutrosophic m-polar fuzzy strong ideals and some essential properties are discussed. We characterize neutrosophic m-polar fuzzy subalgebras in terms of fuzzy subalgebras and subalgebras of UP-algebras.
Polish Constitutional Identity and the EU Challenges: European Law as a Tool for the Redrafting of the Polish Constitution
Authors: Stępkowski Aleksander
Published: March 2024

The paper aims at describing, in a synthetic but still systematic way, the impact that EU has for Polish legal system in general and constitutional order in particular. Con- sidering category of the constitutional identity as determined in the jurisprudence of the Polish Constitutional Court, an attempt is made to demonstrate the way in which Polish constitutional order is altered beyond the procedures provided to this end by the Constitution and without proper involvement of the Polish Parliament. It is described, how delegation of certain powers to EU pursuant to specific provisions of the Polish Constitution has profoundly affected domestic balance of power between three branches in at least two different dimensions. However, regardless which di- mension is concerned, it always results in the limitation of the powers of national legislature. This process demonstrates also decline of the modern politics and its displacement by its postmodern successor, where real political power is no-longer located on national level, but above, upon supra-national level.

Introduction: Nutrition in the cardiovascular area has focused on improving lifestylerelated diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, obesity, and metabolic syndrome from the point of view of primary and secondary prevention, that is, “nutrition for weight loss ” and nutritional guidance has been required. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a serious and growing public health problem worldwide. Approximately 25 million people are carriers of this disease and two million new cases are diagnosed each year, and enteral nutrition has been highlighted. Objective: It was to develop a systematic review of the main clinical outcomes that highlight the importance of enteral nutritional therapy in patients with congestive heart failure. Methods: The PRISMA Platform systematic review rules were followed. The research was carried out from October to November 2023 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: 143 articles were found. A total of 45 articles were evaluated and 34 were included in this systematic review. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 21 studies with a high risk of bias and 17 studies that did not meet GRADE and AMSTAR-2. It was concluded enteral nutrition is highly recommended in an attempt to mitigate weight loss in these patients. Enteral diet therapy can be infused continuously or intermittently. Studies have shown that more debilitated and less active patients better accept the diet via continuous tube, slowly and for a long period, even in those with heart disease.

Острый миелоидный лейкоз (ОМЛ) относится к группе гематопоэтических новообразований, в которых участвуют клетки, относящиеся к миелоидному клону. Острый промиелоцитарный лейкоз (ОПЛ) был классифицирован как AMLM3 в старой французско-американо-британской системе классификации (FAB) и в настоящее время классифицируется как с t (15; 17) (q24.1; q21.2); PML-RARA в системе классификации ВОЗ. Лейкозные клетки примерно у 92 % пациентов с ОПЛ имеют сбалансированную транслокацию t(15; 17) (q24.1; q21.1) с участием RARA, альфа-гена рецептора ретиноевой кислоты 17-й хромосомы и гена PML (промиелоцитарный лейкоз) 15-й хромосомы. ОПЛ характеризуется наличием атипичных промиелоцитов в костном мозге и периферической крови. Промиелоциты – это крупные (обычно > 20 микрон в диаметре) миелоидные предшественники с различной морфологией. Пациенты с ОПЛ обычно имеют симптомы, связанные с осложнениями панцитопении (анемия, нейтропения и тромбоцитопения), включая слабость и легкую утомляемость, инфекции различной степени тяжести и/или геморрагические осложнения, такие как десневое кровотечение, экхимозы, носовые кровотечения или меноррагия. Уникальным для ОПЛ является кровотечение, связанное с диссеминированным внутрисосудистым свертыванием.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) refers to a group of hematopoietic neoplasms involving cells committed to the myeloid lineage. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) was classified as AML-M3 in the older French-American-British (FAB) classification system and is currently classified as acute promyelocytic leukemia with t(15;17) (q24.1;q21.2); PML-RARA in the World Health Organization classification system. The leukemic cells in approximately 92 % of patients with APL have the balanced translocation t(15;17)(q24.1;q21.1) involving RARA, the retinoic acid receptor alphagene on chromosome 17 and the PML (promyelocytic leukemia) gene on chromosome 15. APL is characterized by the presence of atypical promyelocytes in the bone marrow and peripheral blood. Promyelocytes are large (usually >20 microns in diameter) myeloid precursors with variable morphology. Patients with APL typically present with symptoms related to complications of pancytopenia (anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia), including weakness and easy fatigability, infections of variable severity, and/or hemorrhagic findings such as gingival bleeding, ecchymoses, epistaxis, or menorrhagia. Unique to APL is a presentation with bleeding secondary to disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Published: March 2024

This abstract provides an overview of the study on the use of deep learning approaches, specifically Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTMs), for detecting malware attacks in network security. The increasing sophistication of malware attacks has made it challenging for traditional signature-based approaches to detect them effectively. Deep learning algorithms offer the potential to address these challenges, as they can automatically learn complex representations of the data and adapt to new and evolving threats. The study focused on the collection and analysis of a large and diverse dataset of both benign and malicious software samples, which were used to train and validate the deep-learning models. The results of the study showed that the RNN and LSTM algorithms outperformed traditional signature-based approaches in terms of accuracy and efficiency in detecting malware attacks. Additionally, developing more efficient and scalable training methods for deep learning algorithms is an important area for future research. Overall, the future of malware detection using deep learning is promising, and continued research in this field holds great potential for improving the security of our digital systems.

Published: March 2024

Genomic signal processing (GSP) is an engineering domain involved with the analysis of genomic data using digital signal processing (DSP) approaches after transformation of the sequence of genome to numerical sequence. One challenge of GSP is how to minimize the error of detection of the protein coding region in a specified deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence with a minimum processing time. Since the type of numerical representation of a DNA sequence extremely affects the prediction accuracy and precision. The impact of different DNA statistical representations on the identification of coding sequences (exons) was researched. In this study using the IIR inverse Chepyshev filter for twenty benchmark human genes. In order to accomplish this, the sensitivity, specificity, and correlation coefficient of the four most modern DNA numerical representation schemes GCC, FNO, atomic number, and 2-bit binary were measured and contrasted with those of EIIP, the most used technique for locating protein-coding regions.
Potential of photodynamic therapy in the management of infectious oral diseases
Authors: Casu Cinzia , Orrù Germano
Published: March 2024

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can take place in the presence of three elements: Light with an appropriate wavelength; a photosensitizer; and the presence of oxygen. This type of treatment is very effective overall against bacterial, viral and mycotic cells. In the last 10 years many papers have been published on PDT with different types of photosensitizers (e.g. , methylene blue, toluidine blue, indocyanine green, curcumin-based photosensitizers), different wavelengths (e.g. , 460 nm, 630 nm, 660 nm, 810 nm) and various parameters (e.g. , power of the light, time of illumination, number of sessions). In the scientific literature all types of PDT seem very effective, even if it is difficult to find a standard protocol for each oral pathology. PDT could be an interesting way to treat some dangerous oral infections refractory to common pharmacological therapies, such as candidiasis from multidrug-resistant Candida spp .

BACKGROUND

Diabetes is known damage the liver and kidney, leading to hepatic dysfunction and kidney failure. Honey is believed to help in lowering the blood glucose levels of diabetic patients and reducing diabetic complications. However, the effect of stingless bee honey (SBH) administration in relieving liver and kidney damage in diabetes has not been well-studied.

AIM

To investigate the effect of SBH administration on the kidney and liver of streptozotocin-induced (STZ; 55 mg/kg) diabetic Sprague Dawley rats.

METHODS

The rats were grouped as follows (n = 6 per group): non-diabetic (ND), untreated diabetic (UNT), metformin-treated (MET), and SBH+metformin-treated (SBME) groups. After successful diabetic induction, ND and UNT rats were given normal saline, whereas the treatment groups received SBH (2.0 g/kg and/or metformin (250 mg/kg) for 12 d. Serum biochemical parameters and histological changes using hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and periodic acid–Schiff (PAS) staining were evaluated.

RESULTS

On H&E and PAS staining, the ND group showed normal architecture and cellularity of Bowman’s capsule and tubules, whereas the UNT and MET groups had an increased glomerular cellularity and thickened basement membrane. The SBH-treated group showed a decrease in hydropic changes and mild cellularity of the glomerulus vs the ND group based on H&E staining, but the two were similar on PAS staining. Likewise, the SBME-treated group had an increase in cellularity of the glomerulus on H&E staining, but it was comparable to the SBH and ND groups on PAS staining. UNT diabetic rats had tubular hydropic tubules, which were smaller than other groups. Reduced fatty vacuole formation and dilated blood sinusoids in liver tissue were seen in the SBH group. Conversely, the UNT group had high glucose levels, which subsequently increased MDA levels, ultimately leading to liver damage. SBH treatment reduced this damage, as evidenced by having the lowest fasting glucose, serum alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, and alkaline phosphatase levels compared to other groups, although the levels of liver enzymes were not statistically significant.

CONCLUSION

The cellularity of the Bowman’s capsule, as well as histological alteration of kidney tubules, glomerular membranes, and liver tissues in diabetic rats after oral SBH resembled those of ND rats. Therefore, SBH exhibited a protective hepatorenal effect in a diabetic rat model.
Trust in Tobacco Control

Published: March 2024

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) groups experience nicotine and tobacco (NT) related inequities that persist despite reductions in NT use across the general population. Research suggests that institutional trust has important implications for how public health policies are received by various publics, yet few studies have explored trust in tobacco control institutions, especially among SGM communities. Analysing narrative data from open-ended interviews with 100 young adults in California who currently or formerly smoked tobacco and identify in ways that classify them as SGM, we examine participants’ perceptions of tobacco control efforts in relation to characteristics of trustworthy institutions. Our findings suggest that trust in tobacco control institutions may be compromised by some of the tactics used to denormalize NT use, abstinence-only approaches to NT-related messaging and policymaking, and distrust of the broader establishment of which tobacco control is perceived to be a part. Highlighting unintended consequences of some current mainstream approaches to tobacco control, these findings are important to consider in the development of community-informed messaging strategies and policy interventions to address tobacco-related inequities among SGM populations.
Manifesto for a new journal
Authors: Bunton Robin , Editorial Collective JCPH
Published: March 2024

Academic publishing is in a parlous state. In the context of the rise of populist politics, the use of misinformation and the generation of mistrust in scientific expertise, the need for informed and reasoned counter-critique has never been greater. Yet, opportunities for undertaking and publishing such critique are diminishing with the increased commercialization of academic publishing and research (Speed & Mannion 2017). There is thus a very real need to hold onto the historical gains made in establishing spaces for critical engagement.  In this editorial, we reflect on this context and set out a manifesto for maintaining a space for critique in this new journal.
A jászberényi és beregszászi honfoglaláskori süvegcsúcsok komplex archeometriai és készítéstechnikai vizsgálatai

2017-ben kiemelkedő lelettel gazdagodott a honfoglalás kori régészeti hagyaték. Jászberény határából egy aranyozott ezüstből készült 10. századi süvegcsúcs került be a Jász Múzeum gyűjteményébe, feltehetően Jászberény-Alsómuszály, homokbánya lelőhelyről. 2018-ban a hitelesítő ásatás mellett kutatócsoport jött létre a süvegcsúcs archeometriai vizsgálatára, illetve a beregszászi lelettel való részletes összehasonlításra, melyben a Miskolci Egyetem munkatársai is részt vettek. A két süvegcsúcs XRF-vizsgálata hasonló ötvözetet, illetve aranyozási technológiát mutatott ki. A jászberényi lelet belső részeit feltáró endoszkópos vizsgálat, illetve a két félgömbből álló felső kupakos rész peremének megfigyelése egy fehér színű anyag maradványait mutatta ki. A lelet készítéstechnikai elemzése során merült fel, hogy a két félgömb összefogásához nem mechanikai rögzítést, hanem valamilyen ragasztót alkalmazott az egykori mester. A megfigyelést az archeometriai vizsgálatok (SEMEDS és FTIR) részben igazolták, ragasztó jelenléte kimutatható volt, és bár feltételezzük, hogy fenyőgyanta alapú, azonban a pontos minőségét, eredetét nem sikerült megállapítani. Ezzel első ízben nyert igazolást az az ötvöstechnikai feltételezés, hogy a 10. században természetes eredetű ragasztókat is használtak.
