The Illegality of the Composition of the Subject of Public Administration in the Adoption of a Collegial Administrative Act
Authors: Andreev Denis
Published: January 2025

The collegial adoption of legal acts by voting is most typical for representative bodies of public authority. However, an analysis of modern legislation shows that this method of decision-making is widespread in the activities of public administration. A necessary requirement for the legality of the adoption of administrative acts in a collegial manner is the competence of the composition of persons who form the will and express it externally on behalf of the subject of public administration. The article proposes an algorithm for verifying compliance with this requirement, consisting of four consecutive stages, the application of which simultaneously allows for the classification of varieties of its violation. The author criticizes the approach widely used in doctrine and judicial practice, according to which the incompetence of the composition of the subject of public administration is usually attributed to violations of the procedure for the adoption of administrative acts. This approach opens up the possibility of using the concept of materiality of procedural defects, which contradicts the nature of this violation. When adopting administrative acts by voting, the will of the subject of public administration is formed and expressed externally not by one person, but by a college of persons in a strictly defined composition. Violation of this requirement is related to the authors of the administrative act, the subjects of the expression of will (persons could not accept the act in such a composition), and not with the order (procedure) his acceptance. The courts are obliged to verify the competence of the composition of the subject of public administration ex officio in all cases, even if the persons concerned do not ask for it. The incompetence of the composition is an unconditional basis for the recognition of an administrative act as invalid.

Authors: Alexander Moreno Samson , Martinez-Garcia Cynthia , R. Slate John
Published: January 2025

Analyzed in this study was the degree to which the percentage of beginning teachers and student ethnicity/race enrollment percentages in Texas high schools differed as a function of two distinction designations (i.e., Academic Achievement in Reading/English Language Arts and Academic Achievement in Mathematics) was examined. Archival data were obtained from the Texas Academic Performance Reports for the 2012-2013, 2013- 2014, 2014-2015, and 2015-2016 school years. Statistically significant differences were present in the percentage of beginning teachers as a function of distinction designation. Higher percentages of beginning teachers were present in high schools that did not meet the two distinction designations than in schools that met either distinction designations. With respect to student enrollment percentages by ethnicity/race, higher percentages of Asian students and lower percentages of Black and Hispanic students were present at schools that met the two distinction designations. Implications of results and recommendations for future research were provided.

Community Expectancy and Student Mental Health: The Role of Education and Social Expectations
Authors: T. Miller Michael
Published: January 2025

American college students are experiencing and reporting record numbers of mental health issues on college campuses, yet fewer than half report seeking and receiving treatment for these issues. A large part of that willingness to seek professional help could be linked to the stigma or perceptions of receiving mental health treatment, and this reluctance might well be a learned response to perceptions of mental health generally. The current study sought to identify the extent that formal and informal community and family interactions can influence a college student’s willingness to seek treatment. Grounded on the ideas of community expectancy, the study drew upon survey data collected from a case study college and town citizens. Findings indicated that college students did perceive that their perceptions and outlooks were linked to those around them, and that for those who had negative perceptions of seeking mental health treatment, they had strong perceptions that such treatment was seen negatively by those around them. These findings suggest that college leaders need to work harder to embed mental health service treatment options rather than allowing them to be seen as separate entities, programs, and services.

Relación entre bullying, violencia escolar y estilos de manejo de conflictos en adolescentes de nivel medio superior
Authors: Luna Bernal Alejandro Cesar Antonio , Avila Hernandez Angela Karina , Rivas Perez Hector de Jesus
Published: January 2025

Actualmente existe una amplia literatura que aborda conceptualmente las diferencias entre violencia escolar y bullying; sin embargo, se percibe la falta de estudios que analicen empíricamente sus relaciones. Por otra parte, existe también la necesidad de profundizar en el entendimiento de las vinculaciones entre el manejo constructivo de los conflictos interpersonales, y las distintas manifestaciones de la violencia que experimentan los y las adolescentes en el contexto educativo. En ese marco, el presente estudio se propuso como objetivo analizar las relaciones entre la violencia y el acoso escolar, y los estilos de manejo de conflictos interpersonales, en adolescentes estudiantes de nivel bachillerato. La muestra estuvo conformada por 160 alumnos de cuarto semestre de una escuela preparatoria pública de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, con rango de edad de 16 a 18 años. Los participantes respondieron tres cuestionarios: el Conflictalk, el de Violencia Escolar Revisado y el Multimodal de Interacción Escolar. Entre los resultados, se observó que la prevalencia de violencia escolar y bullying varía dependiendo de las dimensiones que se estén considerando. Estas dos variables correlacionaron de manera directa en casi todas sus dimensiones excepto en Observador activo en defensa de la víctima. El estilo agresivo de manejo de conflictos correlacionó de manera directa con todas las dimensiones de violencia escolar y bullying; mientras que los estilos pasivo y cooperativo presentaron correlaciones débiles y no significativas con esas variables. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos hallazgos en el contexto de la literatura sobre violencia y manejo de conflictos interpersonales en adolescentes.
Guía cartográfica meta-argumentativa del conflicto mediado desde el pensamiento sistémico
Authors: Bastante Soler Victorina
Published: January 2025

Este estudio presenta una guía cartográfica meta-argumentativa diseñada para analizar y gestionar conflictos desde una perspectiva sistémica, integrando herramientas de la pragma-dialéctica y la programación neurolingüística (PNL). La guía se organiza en tres anillos que permiten explorar el conflicto desde sus raíces intrapersonales hasta su manifestación en contextos interpersonales y sistémicos. El primer anillo examina cómo las creencias y experiencias personales influyen en la generación de diferencias. El segundo anillo se centra en la degeneración de estas diferencias en conflictos abiertos, subrayando la relevancia de las maniobras argumentativas, como las falacias, que exacerban la situación conflictiva. El tercer anillo analiza las estrategias de resolución, como la mediación y el litigio, destacando cómo la mediación promueve un diálogo crítico y aborda las causas subyacentes, facilitando la resolución del conflicto y previniendo futuros enfrentamientos. La guía propone que los mediadores adopten un enfoque sistémico para minimizar bloqueos argumentativos y promover nuevas perspectivas entre las partes en conflicto, asegurando así un proceso de mediación más profundo y consciente. Asimismo, enfatiza la necesidad de que los mediadores comprendan la estructura del conflicto para intervenir eficazmente y crear un entorno favorable para el diálogo crítico y la transformación actitudinal de los agentes mediados, logrando soluciones sostenibles y una gestión más efectiva de los conflictos futuros.

Authors: Vega Barrero Cesar Fernando , Álvarez-Cánovas Isabel
Published: January 2025

Las prácticas restaurativas escolares son cada vez más utilizadas en entornos educativos; sin embargo, no hay suficiente evidencia del impacto en los estudiantes. Este estudio de caso se propone preguntarles mediante el instrumento del Compromiso Estudiantil (SEI) y utilizando metodología cuantitativa. La muestra (N = 204) estudiantes: mujeres (49.1%) y hombres (50.9%), pertenecían a dos modelos: flexibles (55.8%) y regulares (44.1%) de las escuelas de Cali. Los resultados nos muestran como las prácticas restaurativas de las escuelas tienen un impacto directo en el compromiso psicológico y cognitivo. En concreto, en el psicológico destacar el fortalecer el vínculo profesor-estudiante en edades tempranas y la incidencia positiva del apoyo familiar en estas etapas. En cambio, para el compromiso cognitivo se destaca que la motivación externa decrece a medida que se hacen mayores y que las chicas tienen aspiraciones a objetivos futuros en parte, provocados por las prácticas que se realizan en las escuelas. Finalmente, se aporta la idea de personalizar las prácticas restaurativas escolares y adaptar un enfoque según las variables sociodemográficas, educativas y familiares del entorno para maximizar el impacto en el compromiso escolar y en la construcción de paz.

KONSEP FASIK DALAM AL-QUR’AN PERSPEKTIF AL-IBRIZ
Authors: Ridho M. Fikriyansyah , Munawir M. Fajrul
Published: January 2025

Fasiq in the Qur'an refers to behavior that violates Allah's laws and deviates from the truth, often linked to disobedience to divine authority. The Tafsir Al-Ibriz by Bisri Mustofa and Karl Mannheim's sociological theory are used to explore how the concept of fasiq is understood and applied within social and cultural contexts. This study aims to analyze the concept of fasiq in the Qur'an, particularly in Surah As-Saff verses 5-6, through the lens of Tafsir Al-Ibriz and Karl Mannheim's theory. The research is qualitative, focusing on library research. In Islamic teachings, fasiq is a sin, either major or minor, with some views linking it to disbelief depending on the offense. The term fasiq appears 54 times in 23 Surahs of the Qur'an. Surah As-Saff, a Madinan Surah, discusses Sharia law and jihad. Tafsir Al-Ibriz highlights the Jews' rejection and harm towards Prophets Musa and Isa, even though they knew the truth they brought. Mannheim's theory provides insight into the objective meaning of these verses, showing the rejection of the prophets by their people. The expressive meaning is seen in the ongoing harm to Prophet Musa by his people, despite recognizing him as Allah's messenger. Finally, the documentary meaning suggests a hidden indication that in As-Shaf verses 5-6, it is used as reassurance directed to the Prophet Muhammad, encouraging patience when he is harmed by his people.

Authors: Yasir Muhammad
Published: January 2025

The hoax phenomenon has developed in the history of society from the past to the present. This can be caused by various factors of interest, such as in the hadithul ifki incident which happened to the Prophet's wife, Siti Aisyah, who was accused of adultery by hypocrites to divide Muslims at that time. Today, hoaxes are so thick with people's lives because they are easily spread through various social media platforms. Even though the impact felt due to the spread of hoaxes cannot be underestimated. Therefore, in this study it is important to know how to develop society in responding to hoax news. There are two things to be examined, First, what is the Islamic view of hoaxes? Second, what is the solution in the Quran to build an anti-hoax society? The method used in this research is qualitative, the type is library research, and the approach used is normative and sociological theology. While the data collection technique used was heurestics with descriptive data analysis techniques. The purpose of this research is to find out the Qur'anic solution in building society so that it is not easily affected by hoax news. To individuals but also society and state life, every Muslim is obliged to perform tabayyun and maintain his mouth and hands.

Cefoperazone-sulbactam is a widely used antibiotic, but clinicians must remain vigilant about potential side effects. We describe an elderly lady on immunosuppressive therapy admitted with suspected sepsis. She was empirically started on cefoperazone-sulbactam. The International normalized ratio (INR) progressively increased over the next few days. Cefoperazone-sulbactam-induced coagulopathy was suspected. INR normalized after antibiotic discontinuation and vitamin K supplementation. Several factors predispose to cefoperazone sulbactam-induced coagulopathy. Some factors include poor dietary vitamin K intake and intestinal bacterial interference with vitamin K synthesis in broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy. The serum half-life of cefoperazone is increased 2–4 fold in patients with hepatic disease and biliary obstruction. A total daily dosage above 4 g should not be necessary in such patients. Higher dosages in such situations increase the risk of toxicity. Cefoperazone therapy may prolong INR. Monitoring INR is indicated when high doses are used or when there is liver disease/biliary obstruction, renal impairment, or both.

Published: January 2025

Dentists frequently recommend panoramic radiographs (PR). Facial divergence is an indicator of the growth pattern, in relation to bite force and possible evolution of the VDO (vertical dimension of occlusion) over time. Materials and methods: Our study compared the measurement of the Frankfurt-mandibular plane angle (FMA) on the panoramic x-rays with the angle value measured on the profile tele-radiographs (lateral cephalograms). We have considered possible positioning errors caused by different head tilts while taking the PR. Results: Radiographs taken in disocclusion increased the determined FMA value by approximately 2° (2.28°). Conclusions: Even with some acceptable patient's head tiltings and small positional asymmetries, the FMA measurements on the panoramic radiographs could be considered reliable.

Oral health and general health are closely linked and dependent in humans. The total disappearance of teeth leads to the loss of proprioceptive control systems, the modification of the entire tissue system and therefore great psychological fragility. Pre-prosthetic surgery consists of restoring the osteo-mucosal tissues to allow the installation of a prosthesis.
The objective: was to assess the need for pre-surgical prosthetic preparation for the totally edentulous at the CHU-CNOS of Bamako.
Method and materials: This was a prospective, descriptive study extending over a period of 8 months (from January 1 to August 31, 2021).
Patients seen at the removable prosthesis service for a consultation in whom a diagnosis of edentulism was made constituted the study population.
We carried out an exhaustive recruitment of totally edentulous people received at the service for the completed removable prosthesis who agreed to participate in the study. The data were collected using an individual survey form and analyzed with SPSS version 20.0 software.
Result: A total of 50 patients were registered, including 14 men or 28% and 36 women or 72%. The sex ratio was 0.38 in favor of women. The 60 to 69 age group was the most represented with 19% and the average age was 56 years. The demand for prosthetic restoration for aesthetic and functional purposes represented the reasons for consultation in 46%, 44% of cases and pain in 10% of cases the most expressed concern by patients. Oral hygiene was average 64%, good at 20% and poor at 16%. Tooth extraction represented 70% of cases, without surgery 20% of cases and osteotomy 10% of cases as pre-surgical prosthetic treatment. The ridge was poorly resorbed at 40%, moderately resorbed at 30%, very resorbed at 20% and the ridge was negative at 10%, 50% of patients did not wear a prosthesis, 34% of patients wore partial removable prostheses and 16% wore removable total prostheses. Among our patients 66% had normal frenulums, 22% had short frenulums and 12% had wide frenulums.
Conclusion: This study made it possible to highlight the real needs in pre-surgical prosthetic preparation. Among these needs, multiple tooth extraction remains the most common pre-prosthetic surgical procedure.

Thrombocytopenia represents one of the most frequent causes of addressability for a hematological consultation. The purpose of the study is to establish a correlation between the degree of thrombocytopenia and the appearance of the mucocutaneous bleeding, with a therapeutic purpose. Materials and method: Our study is a retrospective observational study and was carried out on a group of 100 patients who were referred to the Hematology Clinic of Sp. St. Spiridon, Iași for a period of 12 months and who presented with isolated thrombocytopenia on admission. Other coagulopathy evolving with thrombocytopenia were excluded. To establish the correlation between the decrease in the number of platelets and the appearance of the hemorrhagic skin-mucosal syndrome, statistical methods were used – F Test – Two sample for Variance. Results and discussions: Thrombocytopenia was defined as the value of platelets below 150,000\mmc. 5 grades of thrombocytopenia were established: grade I (TR=150,000-100,000/mmc), grade II (TR= 100,000-50,000/mmc), grade III (TR=50,000-20,000/mmc), grade IV (TR= 20,000 -10,000/mmc), grade V (TR below 10,000/mmc)40% of the patients included in the study presented thrombocytopenia gr. I, 24% – grade II, 15% – grade III, 6% – grade IV and 15% presented severe thrombocytopenia (grade V). The mucocutaneous bleeding was manifested by: petechiae and ecchymosis, epistaxis, bleeding in the oral cavity (gingival bleeding, hemorrhagic bullae), menometrorrhagia, hematuria, melena. There is a statistical correlation between the number of platelets and the occurrence of mucocutaneous bleeding: p=0.000121 (p less than 0.001). The first clinical manifestations of the mucocutaneous bleeding appeared at the value of 70,000/mmc. No statistical correlation was obtained between the age of the patients and the number of platelets (p=0.0352). Conclusions: The occurrence of mucocutaneous bleeding is directly related to the decrease in the number of platelets. The oral cavity usually is involved in bleeding caused by the decrease in the number of platelets and requires a multidisciplinary approach.

A comprehensive set of keywords, including “dental cementation,” “advantages,” “disadvantages,” and “esthetic outcomes,” were utilized to ensure thorough coverage of the topic.
Results: The analysis of dental cementation techniques revealed a range of advantages and disadvantages associated with different approaches. These findings provide valuable insights into the impact of various cementation methods on esthetic outcomes in restorative dentistry. Dental cements are engineered to secure restorations, appliances, and post-and-core systems in a stable and durable manner within the oral environment. Conventional glass ionomer and zinc phosphate cements are among the most widely used materials for luting metallic restorations and posts. In contrast, resin-based cements are favored for esthetic applications. The successful cementation of esthetic restorations largely depends on the proper treatment and silane application to the internal surface of the restoration.
Conclusions: The findings of this study highlight the importance of carefully considering the advantages and disadvantages of dental cementation techniques in restorative dentistry. Understanding the impact of these methods on esthetic outcomes is crucial for optimizing patient care and treatment outcomes. Further research in this area is warranted to continue improving dental cementation practices and enhancing esthetic results for patients.

Aims of the study The purpose of this study was to evaluate the agreement of the Medit i700 scanner in determining the number and position of occlusal contacts, comparing its results with those obtained by 100 μm articulating paper. Materials and methods The present study was conducted on a total of 10 patients aged between 20 and 25 years old. Occlusal contact areas were determined in maximum intercuspation position using both 100 μm articulating paper (Bausch Progress 100) and the Medit i700 scanner software (MEDIT). The contact areas were photographed using Nikon D7200 DSLR with AF-S MICRO 105 mm 1:28 G ED lens and overlapped using Adobe Photoshop (Adobe Photoshop®) and the number of contacts whose position coincided with those of the articulating paper was determined. Results The results have shown statistically significant differences (p 0.05) between the number of contacts identified using articulating paper and those determined by the software of the Medit i700 intraoral scanner, especially in the posterior area. Conclusions Within the study’s constraints, when determining occlusal contact points in maximum intercuspation position, the utilization of articulating paper exhibits higher numbers of contacts points over employing the Medit i700 intraoral scanner in posterior areas, and similar in anterior ones.

Background: The integration of evidence-based practice (EBP) into nursing curricula is essential for enhancing the quality of patient care and ensuring patient safety. Despite its recognized importance, the implementation of EBP remains inconsistent among healthcare professionals due to various barriers, including insufficient training and lack of resources. Methods: This review systematically evaluates the literature on educational interventions aimed at enhancing EBP competencies among nursing students and practicing nurses. A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, including Medline, PubMed, and CINAHL, to identify studies published up to 2023. The review focused on assessing the effectiveness of various pedagogical approaches, such as mentorship, online education, and hands-on training, in fostering EBP skills. Results: The findings indicate that structured educational programs significantly improve nurses' understanding and application of EBP. Mentorship and collaborative learning environments emerged as particularly effective strategies, leading to increased confidence and competence in applying EBP principles. However, a notable gap remains in the practical implementation of EBP in clinical settings, highlighting the need for ongoing support and resources. Conclusion: Integrating effective EBP educational interventions into nursing school curricula is crucial for preparing future healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care. Addressing the identified barriers through targeted educational strategies can enhance EBP adoption in clinical practice. Future research should focus on the long-term impacts of these interventions and explore innovative approaches to sustain EBP in healthcare settings
