Analysis of single shaft turbojet engines structures and evaluation their safety with the use of FDM-A and FAM-C diagnostic methods
Authors: Gębura Andrzej , Szelmanowski Andrzej , Zieliński Wojciech , Kowalczyk Henryk
Published: October 2024

The article reviews the main stages of development of single-shaft turbojet engines. Selected construction of these engines are presented divided into three periods (before, during and after World War II) and two main jet engine schemes were discussed (with a centrifugal compressor and an axial compressor). The SO-3 jet engine installed on the TS-11 “Spark” aircraft was chosen to present the method of assessing the safety of structures. The FDM-A diagnostic methods developed in AFIT were used to experimentally verify the technical condition of the engine and FAM-C, based on the analysis of disturbances in the instantaneous rotational speed of the engine shaft. The results of tests related to the assessment of engine shaft misalignment, the assessment of the degree of wear of the engine shaft bearings and the assessment of the shaft clamping force in the bearings are presented. The summary lists the main advantages of single-shaft turbojet engines (simplicity of design for a solution with a centrifugal compressor and high thrust enabling breaking the sound barrier) and their disadvantages (complex design for a solution with an axial compressor and high failure rate of shaft bearing supports as the most loaded engine component).
Meta-theory vs. meta-theories of education
Authors: Śliwerski Bogusław
Published: October 2024

The subject of the analysis is the genesis and evolution of the study of the theory of upbringing as a monistic, orthodox subdiscipline of education sciences and its evolution in Poland towards the differentiation of contemporary theories of upbringing. As a result of the lack of meta-theoretical resolution, I propose my own map to define the concept of upbringing, so that on the basis of Rolland G. Paulston's American geography of thought it would be possible to discern the need to construct theories of upbringing which are adequate to these concepts.
Patterns of validation of educational goals - an outline of the issue and its underlying theoretical premises
Authors: Gara Jaroslaw
Published: October 2024

The purposefulness of education plays a key role in any model of education that is based on planned and organised activities. In this sense, the definition of educational goals should be seen as a logical consequence of the intentional nature of educational interactions. The issue of the patterns of validation of educational goals thus refers us to the different types of validation, on the basis of which certain contents of educational goals are considered legitimate or valid. The legitimacy of the content of educational goals is always derived from an overriding rationale, which is considered decisive as to what the realisation of such goals should serve. Patterns of educational goals may refer to both anthropological, normative and pragmatic justifications. Such patterns can also be considered by referring to the rationalisations and justifications known from the history of pedagogical ideas, which are based on the worldview recognition of naturalistic, social, cultural, ideological or religious patterns as conclusive.
Optimizing hydraulic systems through connection reduction: Mitigating leakage risks
Authors: LESNAU Anna
Published: October 2024

The article discusses the application of the additive manufacturing method DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering), using AlSi10Mg powder for consolidating components used in hydraulic systems to enhance their reliability and reduce the risks associated with potential leaks. Strength tests were conducted, and the difference between a traditional joint and a printed filter connection head was presented. The dimensions and weight of both components are shown in a table. The strength parameters of the printed components are comparable to those manufactured using traditional methods. The results of these tests demonstrate that the produced elements fulfill their function while simultaneously reducing the number of parts in the system and minimizing the areas that require precise sealing preparations. The obtained results provide a solid foundation for further research on the application of this technology in hydraulic systems.
Los efectos jurídicos de la Acumulación de Autos en los Juicios de Prestación de Alimentos
Authors: Flores-Catuto Andrea Mayra , Garcia-Segarra Holger Geovanny
Published: October 2024

En el Código Orgánico General de Procesos, en el Libro Primero, Título II: Competencia, Capítulo II Acumulación, se hace referencia a la institución jurídica de la Acumulación de Autos, determinándose los casos, así como los requisitos y el procedimiento a seguirse hasta llegar a la resolución de este incidente. Ahora bien, en los Juicios de Prestación de Alimentos, se puede dar el caso en que opere la Acumulación de Autos, teniendo como resultado que dos causas en las que, se han fijado dos pensiones alimenticias, se deban unificar, siendo éste el primer efecto jurídico de dicha Acumulación.
 
De lo anterior, surge un segundo efecto jurídico que es justamente la situación problémica del presente artículo científico, y guarda relación justamente a la unificación de estas dos pensiones alimenticias; y cuál debería ser el procedimiento a seguirse, ya que, tanto en la normativa sustantiva, como en la normativa procedimental no se hace referencia a la forma cómo el Juzgador debe actuar para que estas dos pensiones alimenticias provenientes de una Acumulación de Autos sean unificadas.
 
Para poder resolver el problema anterior, se utilizará la siguiente metodología jurídica: el método exegético jurídico para hacer un análisis de la normativa vigente aplicable al caso en especie, el método hermenéutico con revisión de causas de prestación de alimentos en las cuales los sujetos procesales han solicitado Acumulación de Autos, y cuál ha sido la decisión del Administrador de Justicia respecto a la unificación de las pensiones alimenticias; y, finalmente, el método de carácter empírico se realizarán encuestas a abogados a efectos de poder analizar la problemática trazadas en líneas anteriores y determinar posibles soluciones a través de una propuesta en concreto, a efectos de verificar si existe un vacío normativo respecto al efecto jurídico de la acumulación de autos respecto a las pensiones alimenticias.

Legal implications of oral agreements prior to the making of grant deeds
Authors: Nugroho Sebastiana Leonita , Istislam Istislam , Dian Novitasari
Published: October 2024

The significance of this study lies in recognizing the crucial role grants play within the social fabric of Indonesian communities. Despite their importance, grants, particularly in the context of land inheritance, often pose challenges, leading to complications such as the potential for withdrawal or annulment. This research aimed to dissect and comprehend the legal ramifications of verbal agreements made prior to the formulation of a grant deed, especially focusing on how such agreements influence the withdrawal of land ownership rights, as illustrated by the decision of the Kupang High Court (Case No. 23/Pdt/2017/PT.KPG). Employing a normative legal research approach, this investigation delves into secondary data and legal literature to interpret the law both as it is written and as it governs societal behavior. A comparative analysis of similar cases provides additional insights, revealing how varying interpretations of verbal agreements can impact the enforceability of grant deeds across different jurisdictions. This study proposed a detailed analysis, asserting the necessity for clearly defining real evidence in the form of authentic deeds. These deeds serve not only as conclusive proof of land ownership but also as a foundational element for any modifications to such ownership, premised on the mutual consent and responsibilities undertaken by both the grantor and grantee during the deedʼs creation. The grant deed emerges as a pivotal document, ensuring the granteeʼs rights over the land, predicated on the lawful acts executed by both parties involved in the transaction. By exploring these aspects, the research offers insights into enhancing the legal framework surrounding grants, aiming to mitigate the issues arising from oral agreements in land transactions
Administrative legal principles of human rights-based approach by the police
Authors: Semeniuk Artem , Horbach-Kudria Ivanna
Published: October 2024

One of the priority tasks of reforming law enforcement agencies is to build a preventive mechanism based on the observance of human and civil rights and freedoms, protection of society from violence and discrimination, and creation of barrier-free space for people with limited mobility. The multidimensional nature and complexity of the issues requiring statutory regulation in these areas determine the relevance of the subject under study. The purpose of this study was to model the administrative legal mechanism of police activity in which human rights would be optimally and effectively implemented. To fulfil this purpose, the methodology used included a combination of comparative rule-making, system analysis, internal and external induction, constructive cognition and content analysis. It was found that the observance of human rights in police activities is inextricably linked to the implementation of the rule of law and the provision of protective police services. Numerous cases of violations revealed during journalistic investigations and widely discussed by the public have become one of the reasons for the rapid decline in public trust in state law enforcement institutions, and as a result, a substantial obstacle to Ukraine’s integration into the European space. The study analysed the key reasons affecting the effectiveness of administrative legal strategies for ensuring a human rights-based approach in the practical activities of the National Police bodies (units). Specifically, these include transition processes related to the harmonisation of national legislation with international and European standards, low level of material and social security of police officers, insufficient level of professionalism, influence of negative environment, narrow understanding of administrative legal activities in the field of human rights related to the prevention of administrative and criminal offences. The study concluded that the principles of the rule of law, respect for human rights and freedoms and partnership-based interaction with the public are crucial and interrelated in the preventive activities of police. The study outlined the key areas of improvement of national legislation in the field of development and/or optimisation of administrative legal systems for ensuring the functioning of organisational, technical, information, and economic resources as guarantees of the implementation of the declared constitutional rights and freedoms. The results of this study can be used to formulate and improve the norms of national legislation that regulate the activities of law enforcement agencies and determine the content of its guidelines
Last Things
Authors: Austin Michael
Published: October 2024

The final chapter examines the eschatological assumptions of both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. On one level, the Book of Mormon adopts the Bible’s end-of-times scenario in toto. Nephi gestures to the Revelation of St. John as a true continuation of his own vision, and many of Isaiah’s eschatological prophecies are quoted verbatim in the Book of Mormon. However, the Book of Mormon includes examples of key eschatological concepts—the Parousia, the Apocalypse, and the Millennium—occurring throughout the text as part of a recursive pattern. By shifting the biblical end of times from an absolute end to a recurrence of a type, the Book of Mormon casts doubt on the finality of the end of the world described in Revelation.
Spirit Actors, Spirit Places, Nomadic Landscapes
Authors: Pegg Carole
Published: October 2024

Chapter 3. Spirit Actors, Spirit Places, Nomadic Landscapes investigates emplacement in relation to human interactions with spirit actors who occupy spirit places in Middle World nomadic landscapes. “Spirit-owners”—sentient beings with musicality, agency, and intention—are charmed, serenaded, included in duets, and respected by silence as reciprocity is sought. Khakas ancestral “mountain people” travel along spirit-roads and may kidnap humans before bestowing upon them musical gifts. Case studies include a Khakas “mountain shamaness” with a virtual ancestral drum who heals the anthropologist. Altaian and Tyvan shamanic spirits gather for music-making or by sonic invitation for human rituals and contestations arise when Buddhist rituals are performed for spirit-protectors who occupy local land and anger local spirit-owners. Finally, emplacement and movements in landscape are discussed in relation to territorial and other world boundaries, pathways, and place.
Overharvesting
Authors: Susca Margot
Published: October 2024

Profit in the name of democracy looks much different from profit made in spite of it. The last twenty years stand in stark contrast to past eras and commercialism. This chapter offers information on investment firms’ profit maximization strategies within and outside the newspaper sector, while the era’s other core features are laid out in subsequent chapters amplifying the effects of this type of investment and ownership. This chapter and the next two explain the different firms’ strategies and influence, which varies but is substantial when viewed together. Three private investment funds–Alden Global Capital, Chatham Asset Management, and Fortress Investment Group–sat for recent years atop this private fund newspaper pantheon, though other firms have exerted various levels of influence in the newspaper market in this twenty-year period.
The Debt
Authors: Susca Margot
Published: October 2024

Between December 2008 and December 2009, ten newspaper companies, including those influenced by private equity, among them Freedom, Journal Register, and Tribune, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. By 2010 MediaNews Group, constrained by nearly $1 billion in debt, joined them. Hedge funds own all of those today. This chapter addresses the road to hedge fund ownership, showing how the debt left over from mergers and acquisitions, some negotiated by private equity divisions at some of the world’s largest banks, spawned its own private investment fund market in distressed debt investing. Alongside the rise of private investment firms in the US newspaper market, distressed debt investing came into its own right, with investors seeing new opportunity.

Conclusion
Authors: Bruno Robert
Published: October 2024

If work is all that workers claim that it is, what needs to be done to preserve it? The conclusion confronts the possibility that the grand American narrative of work as a means of climbing from obscurity to prosperity is spent. Consequently, in what worker essays say about their work experience they express a version of work accompanied by a strong virtue component that we are compelled to defend. This chapter uses the philosopher Aristotle’s conception of the “golden mean” to approach a defense of work that maximizes a life of virtue. To fulfill work’s potential to create personal and social wellbeing, the final chapter presents worker ideas about work hours, working conditions, pay, unionization, politics, public policy, media, education, and job quality.
The Origins of the American Federation of Musicians and Its Place in the History of Organized Labor
Authors: Miller Leta E.
Published: October 2024

This chapter presents background material for the main topic of the book. It describes the formation of the American Federation of Musicians in 1896 and its precursors, most importantly the National League of Musicians. Also described is the first Black local in the AFM, the “Great Western Union (Colored)” of St. Louis.” Policies developed by the AFM helped the union achieve nearly 100 percent control over musical jobs, both ongoing and temporary, in all fields of musical performance during the first half of the twentieth century. The chapter then continues with a detailed discussion of race and organized labor in general, focusing primarily on the American Federation of Labor’s ineffective efforts to achieve racial equitability. Predecessors to the AFL, namely the National Labor Union (founded in 1866) and the Knights of Labor (organized in 1869), and their failure to grapple successfully with racial issues also figure in this discussion.
Homemade Entertainment
Authors: Patterson Eleanor
Published: October 2024

A prehistory of bootlegging broadcast content, this chapter historicizes the convergence of home recording technologies with radio in the 1910s and 20s. This chapter charts how the practice of using home recording technologies to collect and circulate radio and television content has its roots in the late 1800s, as leisure came to be associated with mass culture at the same time that consumer technologies were created that domesticated media. The development of the phonograph, kinetoscope, and amateur film cameras all normalized home recording at the same time that mass media content was being made as physical commodities for home use. The creation of the home media market occurred at the same time radio transitioned from being an amateur endeavor to become a commercial broadcasting. After demonstrating how the rise of domestic media was predicated on commodity culture and control, this chapter argues that Progressive Era home recording technologies and domestic media consumption fostered and encouraged radio bootlegging practices.
Empathy in Opera
Authors: Renihan Colleen
Published: October 2024

This chapter posits empathy as a crucial component of a critical pedagogy rooted in issues of social justice and community care. Drawing on some of the recent literature on empathy in the theatre (see Cook 2011; Inzlicht et al. 2012), on empathy in video games (see Ruberg 2020), as well as on music and empathy (see Clarke, DeNora, and Vuoskoski 2015 and others), the author describes her attempt to explore several facets of empathy in the context of an undergraduate opera course. Because of its multivalency and its unique negotiation of difference and distance, opera offers a productive space for discussions about empathy’s workings and the role that operatic performance and spectatorship might have in fostering it.
Maintaining Professional Connections through Branding
Authors: Bossio Diana , Bélair-Gagnon Valérie , Holton Avery E. , Molyneux Logan
Published: October 2024

One of the main ways journalists connect with audiences is through branding practices on social media. Chapter 3, “Maintaining Professional Connections through Branding,” identifies the origins of social media branding practices in journalism and explains their widespread adoption as a response to various crises in the industry. It then presents findings from several studies of journalists’ branding practices, describing the various forms and patterns these practices take. Journalistic branding on social media is fraught with several normative tensions, primarily between personal and professional approaches and between social media logics of engagement and editorial logics of independence. These tensions introduce competing goals and lead to journalists practicing strategies of connection and disconnection in their work on social media.
Connecting with Journalism in an Era of Misinformation
Authors: Bossio Diana , Bélair-Gagnon Valérie , Holton Avery E. , Molyneux Logan
Published: October 2024

Chapter 5, “Connecting with Journalism in an Era of Misinformation,” explores some of the more disruptive and confrontational forms of engagement that come with professional use of social media for journalism. We argue that misinformation and disinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic reflected some of the issues related to intimate online connection between journalists and audiences, especially when audiences disconnect from broader social acceptance of journalism’s professional ideologies. Using case studies drawn from reportage during the pandemic, this chapter unpacks some of the strategies journalists used to safely and productively participate within online cultures that prioritize authenticity and sometimes deliberately disruptive content.
Conclusion
Authors: Buehler Branden
Published: October 2024

This final chapter briefly considers an aspect of managerial sports media lurking beneath the analyses offered in the other chapters of the book: its banality. As this chapter suggests, administrative content has become something like the white noise of the sports media landscape —endlessly circulating at a low, empty hum. This banality, the chapter argues, is key to understanding managerial texts. The marginality of so much administrative content fuels its creation, as the close attention to contract numbers and trade terms can preclude broader contextual coverage that might risk alienating the athletes, teams, and leagues that serve as business partners to sports media companies. As the chapter suggests, then, meaningful alternatives to managerial sports media—including, for example, versions of sports media that might escape or subvert the instrumentality and hyperrationality of the managerial mode—may have to come from outside the mainstream sports apparatus.
The Drama of Drugs
Authors: Griffith Ivelaw Lloyd
Published: October 2024

The chapter examines the geography of drug trafficking and interprets the region’s geonarcotics milieu. It explains that legalization options are gaining traction and that the geonarcotics milieu has become more complex as growing receptivity of legalization runs up against legal proscription and pressures from powerful actors outside the region. The United States, for instance, continues its international counternarcotics pursuits. The decades-long advocacy for a different approach to the legal and social status of marijuana led CARICOM leaders to create a commission on the matter. They proposed bold reforms, including reclassification of marijuana from being a dangerous drug to a controlled substance. The chapter also discusses marijuana reform measures introduced by individual countries.
The Trauma of Terror and Cyber Threats
Authors: Griffith Ivelaw Lloyd
Published: October 2024

The chapter shows that although there had been terrorist incidents in the Caribbean prior to 2001, terrorism was not viewed as a security concern there until September 11, 2001. That terrorist attack was a wake-up call for the Caribbean, because of both the direct impact on the region and the security vulnerabilities that it highlighted. Attention is paid in the chapter to geopolitical and geoeconomic considerations related to strategic materials and waterways, tourism, and terrorist financing. Special interest also is paid to the circumstances of Trinidad and Tobago, once viewed as the epicenter of terrorism concerns in the region. As to cyber matters, the chapter provides global and regional portraits and highlights some specific cyberattacks in the region over recent years.
Sins of Christendom
Authors: Wiewora Nathaniel
Published: October 2024

Joseph Smith and his followers enraged antebellum evangelicals not just because of their differences, but also because of their similarities. In their earliest years of encounter, years before evangelicals learned about the practice of plural marriage or the formation of the Mormon theocracy in Utah, they developed a cornucopia of anti-Mormon criticisms. They accused Mormonism of misusing scripture through the fashioning of the Book of Mormon. Evangelicals charged Mormonism with hysterical forms of religious practices. According to antebellum evangelicals, Mormonism also enriched its leaders and defrauded its converts. As the Mormon movement grew larger, evangelicals believed Mormonism embraced popular forms of supernaturalism, a militant sensibility, and a belief in their own exceptionalism. Although these criticisms seem like an unrelated lot, evangelicals knew them all too well, fighting bitterly with each other on all these fronts, disagreeing with their coreligionists over the same complaints that they leveled against Mormonism. This intimate nature of anti-Mormon criticism had two consequences for evangelicals: it fueled their severe reaction to Mormonism, and it gave them a technique to work out their own internal matters. Anti-Mormonism thus became a tool for defining the boundaries and limits of antebellum evangelicalism.
“Peddling the Holy Scriptures”
Authors: Wiewora Nathaniel
Published: October 2024

On socioeconomic terms, antebellum evangelicals attacked Mormonism for both mixing God and mammon, as well as going beyond the bounds of moral economic practices. They depicted Joseph Smith as poor and lazy, as someone who used his personal charisma to enrich himself and turn religion into big business. The problem for many evangelicals was that Joseph Smith had not just committed temporal sins, but he had transgressed against the will of God through his establishment of a communitarian economic system. Similar fears of corruption existed within the evangelical movement. A growing group of evangelicals had become anxious that some of their coreligionists used faith as a device for profit, while others argued that evangelicalism had enabled individuals and businesses to go beyond the limits of a moral economic system. Evangelicals also became concerned about a growing obsession with wealth, a rise in celebrity within their own movement, and a growing institutionalization of religion through the Benevolent Empire. Apprehension about these economic developments led evangelicals opposed to the corporate nature of evangelicalism to use some of their charges against Mormonism’s economic practices to blame the evangelical pursuit of wealth for the rise of Mormonism itself.
“God Has Been Pleased to Give a Revelation to Mankind”
Authors: Wiewora Nathaniel
Published: October 2024

Evangelicals built on older concerns and voiced new opposition to Mormonism’s scriptural practices. They continued to contend the Book of Mormon was crude and contrary to the Bible, and they also elaborated a set of contentions that Joseph Smith deliberately plagiarized the Bible for his holy writ. What was novel about evangelical charges concerning Mormonism’s scriptural practices in the 1830s and 1840s was an obsession with finding out the actual author of the Book of Mormon. These accusations about the inaccurate and inauthentic nature of the Book of Mormon mirrored evangelical concerns and creeping doubt about their own Bible. Growing numbers of evangelicals had begun to see the Bible as a historical document. An increasing awareness that the Bible was a product of the past, in combination with the belief that any person could read and interpret the Bible for themselves led some evangelicals to place the blame for this development on the theological creativity of the Second Great Awakening. Seeing these same developments within Mormonism, these critics sought evangelical peace by limiting the variety of translations and by placing constraints upon theological creativity.
The Workers’ Theater Movement and the Politicization of the Musical Revue
Authors: Fava Maria Cristina
Published: October 2024

Chapter 2 examines the political use of music within the American Workers’ Theater Movement (WTM). It describes how a blend of experimentation and vernacular idioms succeeded in addressing workers’ issues and led to the politicization of the musical revue. A survey of the activities of the WTM at the turn of the 1930s demonstrates that the labor theater, aiming to help the communist cause, was instrumental in building a politicized American musical theater. The role that the musical vernacular had in this pursuit is considered, with a discussion of the reasons that determined opposing critical successes of Parade (1935) and Pins and Needles (1937), which signaled the entrance of the “left wing” theater into the field of the Broadway musical revue.
Epilogue
Authors: Fava Maria Cristina
Published: October 2024

The combination of experimentation and populism did not always succeed in mobilizing the masses against the perceived threat of capitalism and in advancing the promotion of left-leaning sociopolitical ideas. Even if the artists involved in this controversial movement genuinely believed they could make a difference, most of their activities failed in providing workers with revolutionary and ambitious works. The book’s epilogue addresses the tensions that led to this outcome and maintains that we do not have a “masterpiece” of 1930s American music reflecting the Great Depression not only because works from this time have been largely dismissed on aesthetic grounds, but also because of how this musical experience has been received and discussed since then, especially how it was framed during the Cold War period.
Washington and the College of Church Musicians (1962–68)
Authors: Sargent Joseph
Published: October 2024

At age sixty-seven, Sowerby left his lifelong home of Chicago to lead the newly formed College of Church Musicians (CCM) in Washington, DC. An experimental project based out of Washington National Cathedral, the CCM aspired to become a new type of church music institution by offering specialized training to unusually qualified graduate students, encouraging superlative performance and composition activity, and serving as a national center for worship music. For Sowerby, whose commitment to quality sacred music had strengthened appreciably over several decades, the opportunity to lead a school that could permanently enshrine his perspectives proved irresistible. And although the CCM’s efforts were ultimately short-lived, it exerted a lasting influence through both the ideals it espoused and the students who graduated from its program.

Chrysobalanus icaco (Chrysobalanaceae), is a shrub in Brazil, occurs throughout the coast and in the Amazon biome, known as abajurú, abajerú, bajerú, guajurú, among other popular names. In folk medicine, it is mainly used to control blood glucose in diabetics, dysentery and leukorrhea. There are studies in the scientific literature that confirm its antidiabetic effects. From a chemical point of view, the species is characterized as a bioproducer of terpene and phenolic compounds. The objective of this work is to contribute to the chemical studies of the species C. icaco, considering its relevant pharmacological activities. In this work we present the isolation and characterization of two triterpenes and three flavonoids, in addition to the product obtained by acetylation reaction of an ethyl acetate fraction identified as 2α, 3β-diacetoxy-6β-hydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oate of [β-D-triacetoxy-glycopyranosyl (2→1) – β - triacetoxy-xylopyranosyl]. The structural determination of the substances was made through the analysis of 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and HR-ESI-MS mass spectrometry and comparison with values recorded in the literature.

Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) is a multifactorial clinical condition, with a high rate of morbidity and mortality and low control rates. Although photobiomodulation (FBM) is capable of inducing a photobiological interaction inside cells and modifying the micro and macrovascular response in situ, there is a lack of studies that evidence its systemic effect, especially clinical and placebo controlled. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the modulatory effects on blood pressure control in hypertensive patients after transcutaneous photobiomodulation of the radial artery. To this end, 44 participants were randomly divided into 4 groups, one group irradiated for 60 minutes a day, for 5 days, being repeated after 20 days with a total of 3 cycles (Group A), and their respective placebo (Group B); the third group was irradiated for 30 minutes a day, for 10 days, and repeated after 20 days, also totaling 3 cycles (Group C), and their respective placebo (Group D). All participants remained with previously instituted conventional drug treatment. Before the interventions, after each cycle and at the end of the interventions, blood pressure and heart rate were measured. Before and at the end of the interventions, blood samples were collected to measure interleukins 6 and 1beta. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the groups in each phase of treatment, with a= 0.05. Modulatory effects were evidenced in the control of blood pressure in hypertensive patients after photobiomodulation. Group A showed a better response to the reduction of hemodynamic variables than group C. Multidisciplinary care may have increased the adherence to treatment of all participants, including the placebo groups, which also showed a decrease in the values of hemodynamic variables.

The incidence of neurological diseases in dogs and cats is high, leading to several complications that impair the quality of life of animals. Epilepsy, which is characterized by frequent seizures, herniated discs, which can result in spinal cord compression, and hepatic encephalopathy, commonly linked to severe liver problems, are the most common conditions. Managing these conditions requires early recognition of complications and transparent communication between the veterinarian and the owner, which is crucial to ensure appropriate care. Often, treatment of epilepsy includes the use of phenobarbital and potassium bromide. However, about 25% of patients may require additional therapies due to resistance. A herniated disc, on the other hand, needs a thorough diagnosis and can be treated through medications or surgical procedures, depending on their severity. In addition, the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy involves decreasing ammonia absorption and correcting metabolic disorders. In all situations, intensive care and meticulous management are essential for recovery, highlighting the relevance of prevention and appropriate treatment of neurological diseases in small animals
