“Politics of memory” in Poland in the first half of the 21st Century: historical narratives, challenges and disputes. Case Study
Authors: Łukasik Przemysław
Published: December 2024

The aim of the article is to present the specifics of Polish memory policy at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries and to trace the most important threads of the discourse around it. The aim of the author is to characterize the conditions of continuation and modifications, and above all, the challenges facing the Polish historical narrative. The research method used in analysis was the case study. The shaping of Polish politics of memory in the last three decades has been the result of many factors, including the post-communist nature of the state, the dispute over its role in narrating history, the Polish-Russian conflict over memory, the discourse on Polish-Jewish wartime relations, the internationalization of Polish historical narrative, as well as the “memory boom” and the development of public diplomacy. All the factors mentioned above influence the content of the Polish historical narrative. The Polish historical narrative, as in the case of many countries, includes a path of narrative about freedom and the presentation of the greatest scientific and cultural achievements. Regardless of the content of the Polish historical narrative, its greatest challenge is the asymmetry of knowledge about Polish past beyond its borders, not only in the context of losses suffered during World War II.

Performance Analysis of DC Motors With Integrated Proportional-Integral and Artificial Neural Network Control
Authors: Muskhir Mukhlidi , Luthfi Afdal , Aswardi Aswardi , Fortuna Aprilla
Published: December 2024

Direct current (DC) motors are frequently utilized in various applications, and the motor's pace is affected by applied loads as it fluctuates. A power converter must be employed to control the velocity of the motor by varying the armature voltage. One of the options for the power converter is the one-quadrant DC chopper. In this case, the investigation will turn the one-quadrant chopper into a system by merging velocity and current control into the DC motor. The speed is regulated by controlling the armature voltage. This may be accomplished using a controlled rectifier. The contribution of the research is to test the effectiveness of Artificial Neural Network Control (ANN) and Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers to control the speed of a DC motor using a one-quadrant DC chopper. Therefore, due to technological advancements, the authors will utilize the training data of the artificial neural network of Proportional- Integral controllers in MATLAB's Simulink. Test results demonstrate the artificial neural network (ANN's) superior ability to regulate system response, showing enhancements in delay time, rise time, overshoot, and steady-state error compared to the PI controller. These findings underscore the potential of ANN as a more sophisticated choice for DC motor control, although further research is required to finetune its performance through rigorous training.
Ultrasound Findings of Diffuse Sclerosing Subtype of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Authors: Park In Ho , Choi Young Sik
Published: December 2024

Papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of the thyroid, accounting for over 85% of thyroid cancers. Among its more than 15 subtypes, diffuse sclerosing subtype papillary thyroid carcinoma (DSPTC) is a rare form, comprising less than 6% of all thyroid cancers. It predominantly affects younger patients and is known for its aggressive behavior, often presenting with lymph node metastasis. DSPTC shows characteristic ultrasound features such as diffuse microcalcifications and heterogeneous hypoechoic areas, which are key in its diagnosis. However, it can sometimes resemble Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, requiring careful differential diagnosis. Early detection through ultrasound and appropriate treatment significantly improve patient outcomes.

Human Nasal Turbinate-Derived Stem Cells for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine
Authors: Kim Do Hyun , Hwang Se Hwan
Published: December 2024

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitor cells present in adult tissues that are recognized as promising candidates for cell therapy due to their ease of access, straightforward isolation, and capacity for bio-preservation with minimal loss of potency. However, the clinical application of MSCs faces significant challenges, such as donor site morbidity, underscoring the need for alternative sources. Recent studies have suggested that inferior turbinate tissues, which are commonly removed during turbinate surgery, may be a viable donor site for MSCs. Turbinate surgery is a safe and effective procedure frequently performed to alleviate nasal obstruction, a prevalent chronic condition treated by otolaryngologists. This implies that harvesting MSCs from turbinate tissue for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine could serve as a simple, minimally invasive method with faster healing and minimal risk of morbidity or scarring at the donor site. This review highlights previous research indicating that MSCs derived from human turbinate tissues maintain their stability and demonstrate multi-differentiation potential. Therefore, the turbinate could be an alternative to traditional MSC sources for producing functionally competent cells for future clinical applications.
The role of international experience on SMEs’ internationalization
Authors: Sandoval-Álvarez Carlos
Published: December 2024

This study evaluates the mechanism through which managers' international experience impacts the degree of internationalization of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The empirical analysis uses a sample of 131 managers of Costa Rican exporting SMEs. The main findings of the proposed structural structure model suggest that the international experience of managers indirectly impacts the degree of internationalization of SMEs. The proactivity of managers in international markets is the key factor influencing the degree of internationalization of SMEs. Risk perceptions associated with the firm's international expansion impact managers’ proactivity levels in international markets.
Ethical leadership and organizational commitment in the Colombian electricity sector: the importance of work self-efficacy
Authors: Santiago-Torner Carlos
Published: December 2024

This study analyzes the effect of ethical leadership on organizational commitment, considering work self-efficacy as a mediating variable. Structural equation modeling is used to analyze the proposed relationships. The sample consists of 448 professionals inthe Colombian electricity sector. Ethical leaders increase organizational commitment, specifically the affective, normative, and perceived investment dimensions (Continuance 2), but not the perspective of lack of job opportunities (Continuance 1). Work self-efficacy explains how ethical leadership influences the analyzed dimensions of organizational commitment, with the exception of the lack of job opportunities (Continuance 1). Ethical leadership seeks to meet the socio-emotional needs of followers. When employees feel listened to and valued by the leader, they voluntarily choose to increase their commitment. However, when employees feel trapped in an organization and experience a constant sense of obligation, their discouragement intensifies, and they withdraw emotionally until they are disconnected from the positive effects of ethical leadership and work self-efficacy.

Objective: To identify changes in intraocular pressure during the different trimesters of pregnancy. Methodology: The systematic search was performed in Medline (Pubmed), Embase and Web of Science. Observational studies were selected in pregnant women in the different trimesters of pregnancy and postpartum. The structure for item selection followed the guideline of the PRISMA statement. Results: 23 studies were included with follow-up of IOP in the first, second, third trimester of pregnancy and postpartum. In general, the average IOP in the first trimester was 15.5 mmHg, in the second trimester 13.4 mmHg and in the third trimester 11.62 mmHg, a statistically significant difference was reported in the different trimesters of pregnancy in 13 studies with a value of p < 0.05. All studies coincided with an average decrease in IOP of 2 mmHg between the first and second trimester and 1.78 mmHg between the second and third trimester. With respect to postpartum, two studies indicated an increase to 3% in IOP three months after delivery. Conclusions: Variations in intraocular pressure were identified during gestation, being lower as pregnancy progresses and greater after delivery. Future post-partum follow-up studies are proposed to analyze whether these fluctuations can generate changes in the posterior pole.
Hidrodecloracion de diclofenaco usando nanoparticulas de hierro zerovalente ( nZVI) y nZVI soportado
Authors: López Luna , Ramírez Paula , Brijaldo María Helena
Published: December 2024

El diclofenaco (DFC)  es bien conocido como un medicamento antiinflamatorio no esteroideo y su alta producción y consumo lo convierten en un contaminante emergente. El DFC  tiende a acumularse en sistemas acuáticos induciendo la toxicidad  a lo largo de la cadena alimenticia. Desarrollando  alternativas  para la eliminación de contaminantes emergentes  es uno de los desafíos más grandes de la química ambiental, de esta manera estamos investigación esta enfocada en la hidrodecloración (HDC) de diclofenaco (DFC) usando nanoparticulas de hiero zerovalente (nZVI) soportadas en alumina  (Al2O3) y carbon activado (AC). Los catalizadores se obtuvieron a partir de Fe(NO3)3.9H2O mediante dos métodos de reducción: extracto de pino variedad Ciprés (Cupressus sempervirens) y la segunda usando  NaBH4. Los catalizadores se caracterizaron mediante el estudio de las propiedades fisicoquímicas y morfológicas caracterizadas por las técnicas de difracción de rayos X (XRD), espectroscopia fotoelectrónica de rayos X (XPS), microscopía electrónica de transmisión (TEM) y espectroscopia Raman. Las pruebas de actividad catalítica se realizaron mediante reacciones DCF HDC con cada catalizador, monitoreando constantemente con la técnica de cromatografía líquida de alta resolución (HPLC). Los catalizadores nZVI-P/CA y nZVI-P/Al2O3 presentaron buena dispersión y actividad, con conversiones cercanas al 100%. El nZVI-P/CA mostró mayor selectividad hacia los productos deseados, mientras que el nZVI-P/Al2O3 fue más estable en el tiempo. Esta investigación aborda el riesgo ambiental de la bioacumulación de este tipo de compuestos organoclorados y propone una solución prometedora para su tratamiento.
Dos narraciones jitotoltecas sobre el diablo
Authors: Zavala Maldonado Roberto , González Gutiérrez Antonino , González Gutiérrez Primitivo
Published: December 2024

Las dos narraciones introducidas aquí versan sobre la interacción que tienen los protagonistas con el diablo. La primera fue narrada por Antonino Gonz.áez Gutiérrez. En ella se cuenta la historia de un hombre que se encuentra con un bebé llorando a la orilla del camino, a quien recoge y monta en su caballo. En el camino, el protagonista se percata que el supuesto bebé es el mismo diablo. Este encuentro produce que el jinete se trastorne hasta convertirse en un hombre malvado. La segunda narración, contada por Primitivo González Gutiérrez, narra la historia de la edificación de la iglesiade la cabecera municipal de Jitotol, Chiapas. Para hacer esa edificación, los santos encargados de dirigir la obra contrataron a un individuo que se comprometió en terminar la edificación de la iglesia en una sola noche. La persona contratada resultó ser un diablo que trajo como trabajadores a entidades de vida nocturna en forma de aves que estuvieron a punto de terminar el trabajo en una sola noche. Para que no se terminara la obra en el tiempo comprometido por el diablo, los santos despertaron a los gallos del pueblo para simular que poco después de media noche ya era el amanecer.
El milagro del Señor del Llanito
Authors: Hernández-Green Néstor , Sánchez Morales Alberto
Published: December 2024

Esta narración oral, contada en lengua ñhöñhö (otomí; otomangue > otopame) por Alberto Sánchez Morales (Bomintzá, Tolimán, Querétaro), recuenta el origen y el desarrollo de la llamada Guerra Cristera en México, y específicamente en la región de Semidesierto Queretano. En ella también se narra cómo el Señor del Llanito, santo patrono de la comunidad otomí de Bomintzá, evitó que el ejército tomara por asalto este asentamiento y reclutara a la fuerza a su población para que peleara en contra de los cristeros. Otros asentamientos de los alrededores no habían corrido con la misma suerte, y la narración nos cuenta cómo podían verse humear los techos de sus viviendas quemadas por los soldados. El relato fue grabado en Bomintzá el 23 de agosto de 2023.
Risk and Protective Factors Associated with Violent Extremism: A Multilevel and Interdisciplinary Evidence-Based Approach
Authors: Da Silva Caroline , Amadio Nicolas , Sarg Rachel , Domingo Bruno , Benbouriche Massil
Published: December 2024

This integrative review aims to inform research, policy and practice at the tertiary
level of prevention targeting radicalised individuals, whether they have acted on their
radicalisation or not. It stresses the need to respond to the terrorist threat with a multilevel
and interdisciplinary evidence-based approach in order to account for the complexity of the
issue. To do so, drawing from the socio-ecological model of violence, we categorise across four
levels of analysis (i.e. individual, relationship, community, and societal) the risk and protective
factors associated with violent extremism and reported in the existent systematic reviews and
meta-analyses on this issue. As a result, we observe an overemphasis on the study of individual
factors, with a few relationship factors, and no community or societal factors reported. To
address this limitation, we emphasise the need for future studies to focus on risk and protective
factors across the four levels of analysis. We also suggest future systematic reviews and metaanalyses to focus on qualitative data. Finally, based on the individual and relationship factors
identified in the examined systematic reviews and meta-analyses, but also on the community
and societal factors identified in narrative reviews, we propose a socio-ecological model of
violent extremism.

O DESENHO DA CRIANÇA ENQUANTO EXTENSÃO DE SUAS EXPERIÊNCIAS AUDIOVISUAIS E DE SEU CONHECIMENTO DISCURSIVO
Authors: Chateauneuf Isac
Published: December 2024

Não mais como rabiscos, curiosidades ou somente o manifestar do início da capacidade psicomotora da criança, contudo um mecanismo discursivo, seu desenho passa a ser entendido por diversos teóricos como algo a ser valorizado. O presente artigo pretende mostrar em como as experiências propiciadas pelas interações da criança, agora contemporaneamente, com os produtos audiovisuais, podem possibilitar uma aprendizagem qualitativa verificada a partir dos desenhos que são feitos, bem como se tornam extensão de seu conhecimento e trampolim para a configuração e desenvolvimento de seu discurso oral, que por vezes, também toma todo o corpo como apoio. Foi utilizado como método a pesquisa bibliográfica e a de campo, trazendo para as discussões alguns desenhos feitos pelas crianças e comentados pelo pesquisador. Tão logo, verificou-se que para além de inócuas produções com sons e imagens, as obras audiovisuais quando bem mediadas constroem espectadores mais ativos, capazes de serem criativos e autores de seu próprio discurso enquanto sujeito pensante, reflexivo e artístico.
Soy Perséfone Pérez, la errabunda mártir… Soy Perséfone Pérez, la errabunda mártir… estética diaspórica y adherencia en Magali Alabau.a en Magali Alabau.
Authors: Fernandez Pedroso Magalys
Published: December 2024

Este artículo analiza el poema-libro Hemos llegado a Ilión de la escritora cubana de la diáspora Magali Alabau (1945). El libro tematiza un viaje de vuelta a Cuba, después de más de veinte años de vida en los EE. UU. Las sobreposiciones espaciales, la pluralidad de la enunciación y la ausencia radical de linealidad de los acontecimientos recreados nos llevan a pensar esta obra desde la perspectiva de una poética errante en que predominan las dinámicas intersticiales. Desvíos, rupturas y resignificaciones que, por un lado, conversan con la noción de estética diaspórica (Stuart Hall, 2003) y, por otro, dialogan con la noción de radicante (Nicolás Bourriaud, 2009). La voz poética que Alabau proyecta, después de husmear entre las páginas de la historia universal y la mitología griega, se auto declara Perséfone Pérez. Investida, entonces, de simple mortal, Perséfone deambula del espacio-isla al espacio-mundo en entradas y salidas abruptas en que se va adhiriendo plásticamente a símbolos, sucesos, recuerdos de sí y de los otros. Esta adherencia volátil, inscrita en un tiempo frenético y entrópico habla de la inestabilidad y el descentramiento de los sujetos diaspóricos; lo que estremece la categoría de sujeto y la noción de semionauta, propuesta por Bourriaud (2009) para hablar de recolección de signos en movimiento. Nuestro objetivo es pensar esa voz de la diáspora como un ente que más que recolectar signos, se une temporalmente a todo lo que viene al encuentro, además de a sus memorias y subjetividades. Consecuentemente, lejos de ser un alguien sujeto o un alguien que recoge, se trata de un alguien suelto que, como un adjeto, cambia su estar en el mundo según el color o el aroma que lo rodean.

Published: December 2024

Este estudo busca ampliar as funções do narrador, responsável pela condução da nossa leitura, por nos aproximar ou distanciar, nos mostrar ou esconder, nos envolver, ora mais ora menos, no mundo narrado. A partir da análise dos aspectos que compõem a história e o discurso da obra Quando eu era pequena, de Adélia Prado, discutimos a possibilidade de o narrador ser também mediador simbólico de leitura. Com base nas análises, consideramos que o narrador, para além de suas características já reconhecidas, é também mediador simbólico no processo de leitura, desde que, como na obra analisada, manifeste profundo conhecimento sobre o narrado e seja, portanto, um sábio; leve em consideração o universo de expectativa do leitor; e o desafie.

Association between Nutritional Knowledge and Immunonutrients Intake with Immunity Status Post-Pandemic COVID-19 in College Students
Authors: Angraini Dian Isti , Maulidia Anisa , Sutarto
Published: December 2024

Background: The occurrence of COVID-19 pandemic has affected various aspects of life. Several studies have shown that the ability to recover and avoid COVID-19 infection depends on the level of immunity, which is influenced by the intake of immunonutrients. However, healthy eating habits, such as the consumption of these immononutrients, are influenced by a good nutrition understanding.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the association between nutritional knowledge and immunonutrients intake with immunity status post-pandemic COVID-19 in college students.
Methods: The study procedures were carried out using an observational analytical method with a cross-sectional design. The sample population comprised 104 first-year students from Medical Education Study Program at Medical Faculty of Lampung University. Students were determined using the unpaired categorical comparative analytics sample size formula and selected with a straightforward simple random sampling method. Data were collected using a questionnaire, including nutritional knowledge, immunonutrients intake, and immune status. Analysis was carried out using Chi-Square test and logistic regression.
Results: The result showed that 51.9% of respondents had decreased immunity status. The bivariate test revealed that protein intake (p-value<0.001), zinc (p-value=0.006), iron (p-value<0.001), vitamin A (p-value<0.001), and vitamin C (p-value=0.002) had a relationship with immunity status, while nutritional knowledge (p-value=0.708) had no association. In addition, the factors most related to immunity status were protein, iron, and vitamin C intake.
Conclusions: Immunonutrients intake is a factor that directly influenced immunity status, while nutritional knowledge is an indirect factor.

Freeport Indonesia yang bergerak untuk mengeskplorasi tambang di Kabupaten Mimika dan kemudian ditinjau dengan penyebab yang membuat perusahaan perlu agar memberikan pertenggungjawaban sosial kepada masyarakat sebagai bentuk perbaikan atas dampak perusahaan terhadap masyarakat. Peneliti kemudian menemukan hal baru atas fenomena tersebut yang dapat menggambarkan YPMAK sebagai badan sosial yang bertujuan untuk menjaga dan menyalurkan tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan PT. Freeport Indonesia dalam menjalankan tanggung jawab sosial perusahaan. Berkembangnya Globalisasi yang membawa perusahaan perusahaan masuk ke negara lain untuk mengeksplorasi dan terutama menambang beberapa sumber daya alam suatu negara telah menjadi fenomena yang menggejala dan berdampak pada stabilitas alam dan sosial. Oleh karena itu, artikel ini akan menguraikan fenomena tersebut dengan perspektif teori Antonio Gramsci tentang Gerakan Sosial Intelektual.

Tawar-menawar Antara Negara Tuan Rumah dan MNC dalam Penanaman Modal Asing (FDI) di Sektor Minyak dan Gas: Studi Kasus Pembatalan Kontrak Investasi Saudi Aramco di Kilang Cilacap
Authors: Adam Fitrah
Published: December 2024

Penelitian mengenai hubungan antara pemerintah tuan rumah dan perusahaan multinasional (MNC) terkait penanaman modal asing (FDI) masih perlu dieksplor, terutama dalam konteks sektor minyak dan gas di Indonesia. Artikel ini mengkaji hubungan tersebut dengan menggunakan Political Bargaining Model (PBM) untuk menganalisis dinamika negosiasi antara Pertamina, perusahaan minyak milik negara Indonesia, dan Saudi Aramco, sebuah MNC besar, dengan menggunakan proyek Refinery Development Master Plan Cilacap sebagai studi kasus. Artikel ini meneliti apakah keselarasan tiga variabel PBM— tujuan relatif, sumber daya, dan kendala—mempengaruhi hubungan negara tuan rumah dengan perusahaan multinasional menjadi lebih kooperatif. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif, artikel ini menemukan bahwa meskipun ketiga variabel tersebut telah terpenuhi, hal ini tidak menghasilkan hubungan yang sukses antara kedua pihak. Selain itu, artikel ini mengindikasikan bahwa buruknya iklim investasi di Indonesia adalah alasan utama kegagalan kerja sama tersebut.

The invasion of the golden mussel has resulted in considerable environmental and socioeconomic alterations, which present a considerable threat to the native biodiversity and sustainability of the region. It is of the utmost importance to gain an understanding of the distribution and biological characteristics of this Asian mussel, as well as its interaction with human activities, in order to develop effective strategies for mitigating and preventing its further spread. This study examines the dispersal route and incidence of golden mussels, tracing their movement from initial populations in Argentina to their arrival in the São Francisco River Basin (SFR). The presence of the mussel was confirmed through an integrative assessment, which included shell taxonomic analyses and mitochondrial DNA signatures. This identified populations located 7.5 km from the river's mouth, in proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, in areas such as shrimp farms, artisanal ports, and marinas. The analysis of mitochondrial DNA revealed the presence of South American-specific and shared ancestral haplotypes in the SFR, Grande River, and Argentina. These findings indicate that intracontinental colonisation towards the northeast of South America originated from Asian populations that entered South America via Argentina. The absence of Asian-specific signatures in the RSF, combined with its geomorphological structure, which is unsuitable for large ports or transoceanic vessels, supports the hypothesis of intercontinental dispersal of Limnoperna fortunei.
Communication on Methodological Considerations Regarding the Quantification of DNA Impurities in the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Comirnaty®. Methods Protoc. 2024, 7, 41
Authors: König Brigitte , Kirchner Jürgen O.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this communication is to clarify criticisms that have arisen in the context of our publication "Methodological Considerations Regarding the Quantification of DNA Impurities in the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Comirnaty®" (Methods Protoc. 2024, 7, 41 [1]). In the meantime, a preprint has appeared entitled "Quantification of objective concentrations of DNA impurities in mRNA vaccines" (Kaiser et al. [2]), which attempts to refute our findings. However, it does not succeed in doing so with the necessary persuasiveness. First of all, it is particularly important that Kaiser et al [2] have confirmed that our results are reproducible when the quantification is carried out using the Qubit® technology in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, which is exactly what we did. However, it is then claimed by Kaiser et al [2] that the magnitude of the DNA impurities we have shown would be an effect of high amounts of RNA present in the samples. As a proof they quantified a defined concentration of DNA in the presence of very high concentrations of RNA with the Qubit® methodology. However, even the presence of 250 ng/µL RNA resulted only in a comparatively small increase in the DNA value of 0.655 ng/µL and this is far from explaining the DNA concentrations of 12 to 17.8 ng/µL that we have measured in several batches of Comirnaty®. Further, the preprint [2] mentioned that experiments with DNA extracted from the vaccine would show that the very low legal limits for DNA in Comirnaty® are met. However, the authors of this critique have failed to demonstrate that the extractions they performed are indeed quantitative, i.e. reflect the actual DNA contamination. However, based on the related published literature, this must be denied. With this in mind, we can finally confirm that both our methodology and our data, as published in our above-mentioned article [1], imply that DNA impurities as measured with Qubit® by us in Comirnaty® are reliable according to the manufacturer's premises for this DNA quantification technology. In this sense, the DNA values presented in the Kaiser et al. preprint [2] after extraction procedures are obviously artificial effects of the extractions performed and therefore do not represent the true DNA contamination of the concerned Comirnaty® batches.

Published: December 2024

Background/Objectives: Diet and physical activity (PA) significantly impact health. Unfortunately, a worrying trend of decreasing PA among children and adolescents, accompanied by unhealthy nutritional behavior, is observed worldwide. The aim of the study was to evaluate the nutritional behavior and body mass index (BMI) of adolescents aged 13 years in relation to their physical activity at school. Methods: The study was conducted in six schools among adolescents born in 2007 (n = 213), in two groups of standard and extended PA at school (SPA and EPA), wherein each group received 4 and 10 hours of physical education lessons per week, respectively. Their height and body mass were measured. BMI was calculated and compared with percentile charts. A questionnaire was used to assess nutritional behavior and extracurricular physical activity. Results: Approximately 62% of adolescents had a normal body weight, with SPA 58%, EPA 64%, overweight 13.63%, SPA 13.75%, EPA 13.50%, obesity 14.13%, SPA 19.25%, EPA 9%, and underweight 11.17%, SPA 8.85%, and EPA 13.50%. Among the potential health-promoting foods, dishes, and beverages, fruits and vegetables were the most frequently consumed items, whereas fish and legume dishes were the least consumed. Butter, white bread, sweets, cheeses, cold cuts, and sausages were all consumed very often. Fast food and lard were the least frequently consumed items. Conclusions: A significant proportion of 13-year-olds were overweight or obese. Extended PA had a beneficial effect on BMI, but it had little effect on nutritional behavior among the studied adolescents. The adolescents exhibited moderate nutritional behaviors, however, it was more favorable in those exposed to extended PA at school than those exposed to standard PA. It's possible to argue that extending organized PA at school leads to even more PA during leisure time. It is recommended to increase PA for adolescents by doubling the mandatory number of physical education lessons or other sports activities in the school curriculum.

This study evaluated the impact of a long-term, multidisciplinary, home-based rehabilitation program on quality of life, balance, and functional autonomy in adults with neuromusculoskeletal disabilities. A total of 559 participants received individualized interventions from a team of physical therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and other health professionals. Functional independence, balance, depressive symptoms, and quality of life were assessed using the Barthel Index, Berg Balance Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and SF-36 questionnaire, respectively. A longitudinal analysis comparing pre- and post-intervention outcomes revealed statistically significant improvements (p < 0.001) across all metrics. The Barthel Index median increased from 85 to 90 points, indicating greater functional independence, while the Berg Balance Scale improved from 39 to 47 points, reflecting reduced fall risk. Depressive symptoms decreased, with Beck Depression Inventory scores dropping from 12 to 9, and both physical and mental health components of the SF-36 showed marked enhancements. These findings demonstrate the program's effectiveness in addressing both physical and emotional needs, emphasizing the value of extended, personalized, home-based care in improving health, autonomy, and overall quality of life for individuals with disabilities. This study underscores the potential of multidisciplinary approaches to support long-term rehabilitation in diverse populations.
