Published: September 2024

The main objective of this work is to offer a brief overview of the evolution of research on burnout, towards its opposite: engagement. We begin with the exposition of the theoretical approach based on the new movement of Positive Psychology. Likewise, we expose the needs of modern organizations, the importance that they acquire in having motivated personnel and their repercussion in the optimal development of them. Second, we define the engagement and describe the main labor resources that scientific research has shown to contribute to their development and to the psychosocialwell-being of employees employed in current organizations.
La investigación psicológica europea sobre la vejez, el envejecimiento y/o las personas mayores: una revisión sistemática de alcance de revisiones sistemáticas
Authors: Cáceres Pérez Christian , Menéndez Álvarez-Dardet Susana
Published: September 2024

Europe is ageing, and psychology is contributing to meet this challenge by providing scientific evidence on old age, ageing and older people. Given the increase in European geropsychological research, the analysis of systematic reviews is a useful procedure to locate key concepts, sources and types of available evidence, as well as gaps in the literature in a given area. The objective of this work is to identify and describe systematic reviews carried out in Europe, published in English, and focused on the study of old age, ageing and/or the elderly from a psychological perspective. To this end, a systematic scoping review of systematic reviews was carried out, using the ProQuest search engines (ERIC, Psychology Database, PsycARTICLES, and PsycINFO databases) and the Cochrane Library, from which 133 articles were extracted. Most of the studies have been carried out by authors from a single country, are recent and focus on secondary aging, specifically on mental health. Given that old age is a period also described by stability and even by gains and the possibility of growth and development, future research should analyse this stage also from the perspective of primary ageing.

Goed beleid: tijd voor ‘regels beleidsdiscipline’

Je kon erop wachten: na jaren royaal spenderen uit de rijksbegroting klinkt nu overal in Den Haag weer de roep om meer zicht op doelmatigheid. En terecht: anders dan vaak wordt gedacht, is het snel uitgeven van meer geld niet hetzelfde als het voeren van goed beleid. In aanvulling op de regels budgetdiscipline hebben we daarom regels beleidsdiscipline nodig. Dat scheelt nog geld ook. In deze column legt de auteur dat ‘tongue in cheek’ uit.
Blue Ocean Shift Strategy Case Analysis in the Dairy Industry
Authors:   Dongguk Business Research Institute, Kim Ducksu , Kim Hongkeun , Lee Jungmann
Published: September 2024

This study aims to empirically examine the possibility of a successful blue ocean strategy by analyzing the case of Y Dairy, which overcame this situation with a blue ocean strategy and turned around the company. First, the analysis of Y Dairy's blue ocean strategy revealed facts and factors to be eliminated, such as unfair seniority-based performance evaluation and promotion system, loose management at the executive level with lifetime guarantee, low work productivity, a culture of not keeping records, and a situation where only certain people are entrusted with certain tasks. The Blue Ocean Strategy calls for a humanizing process to address these issues, emphasizing the need for employee buy-in, a fair process, and fair and transparent evaluation methods. Second, a number of factors to be raised were identified, which are costly, such as expanding investment in soy milk, strengthening plant-based beverages, expanding exports to China, strengthening fermented and lactose-free milk (easily digestible milk), strengthening low-fat milk, and improving soy milk BI (Brand Identity). Third, the factors to be reduced were mainly related to the need to reduce intermediary sales and increase direct sales in order to improve company profits by reducing intermediary trading margins in the sales division, and to reduce excessive promotional expenses incurred for home delivery promotion and online promotion activities. Finally, as a new value proposition to be created, it was necessary to launch the Severance Care brand in collaboration with S Hospital to diversify the business and expand the lifestyle health business, and the need to pursue M&A of existing companies to grow the business at a fast pace.

Published: September 2024

Introdução: A degeneração macular relacionada à idade (DMRI) e o edema macular diabético (EMD) são condições retinianas graves que frequentemente causam perda significativa da visão. Ambas estão associadas à formação anormal de vasos sanguíneos na retina, um processo mediado pelo fator de crescimento endotelial vascular (VEGF). As terapias anti-VEGF têm revolucionado o tratamento dessas doenças ao inibir a neovascularização patológica, levando a melhorias na visão e na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Este artigo avalia a eficácia e segurança dessas terapias, explora os avanços recentes em formulações e métodos de administração, e destaca as lacunas na pesquisa, como a variabilidade na resposta ao tratamento e os efeitos a longo prazo. O objetivo é aprimorar as abordagens terapêuticas e os resultados clínicos para os pacientes. Metodologia: Esta revisão sistemática avalia a eficácia e segurança das terapias anti-VEGF para doenças retinianas, como DMRI e EMD. O estudo analisa melhorias na visão e qualidade de vida dos pacientes, avanços nas terapias e efeitos a longo prazo. A pesquisa foi realizada em bases, incluindo artigos em português e inglês, publicados entre 2011 e 2024, que discutem esses tratamentos. Resultado:  As terapias anti-VEGF são eficazes no tratamento de DMRI e EMD, melhorando a visão e reduzindo o edema macular ao bloquear o VEGF, que causa vasos sanguíneos anômalos na retina. Embora seguras, podem ter efeitos adversos como inflamação e aumento da pressão intraocular, necessitando de monitoramento. A personalização do tratamento é essencial para maximizar benefícios e minimizar riscos. Futuras pesquisas estão focadas em combinar anti-VEGF com outros tratamentos, desenvolver formulações de liberação prolongada e explorar terapias genéticas para aprimorar e potencialmente curar essas condições. Conclusão:  As terapias anti-VEGF são eficazes para DMRI e EMD, melhorando a visão e reduzindo o edema macular. Embora geralmente seguras, devem ser monitoradas devido a possíveis efeitos adversos. Personalizar o tratamento conforme as características individuais do paciente é crucial. Futuras pesquisas devem buscar novas abordagens combinadas e agentes com melhor segurança e eficácia, além de explorar combinações com outras terapias para um manejo mais eficaz.

Identificar na literatura, os principais fatores de risco da Pneumonia Associada à Ventilação Mecânica (PAV) na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Adulto (UTI). Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, de cunho descritivo e exploratório. Diante disso, com o intuito de desenvolver a pergunta chave, aplicaram-se os domínios da estratégia PEO. Logo, efetuou-se um levantamento bibliográfico em julho de 2024 nas seguintes bases de dados: IBECS e LILACS via BVS e MEDLINE via PubMed. Dessa forma, selecionaram-se como descritores os DeCS e os MeSH, sendo ambos cruzados pelo operador booleano AND. Assim, 10 produções científicas foram selecionadas para compor a amostra final do estudo. De acordo com as evidências atuais analisadas, os principais FR encontrados foram: Uso de Ventilação Mecânica (VM), Tempo de VM prolongado, acima de 21 dias, gravidade da doença primária, utilização prolongada de antibiótico, duração prolongada de internação hospitalar, realização de procedimento médico invasivo no trato respiratório (reintubação, traqueostomia e broncoscopia) e nutrição enteral. Dessa forma, para prevenir e controlar eficazmente a PAV é crucial garantir que todos os profissionais tenham conhecimento acerca dos riscos envolvidos. No entanto, atualmente há uma lacuna na literatura de ensaios clínicos de elevada qualidade metodológica que investigue essa temática de forma aprofundada.

Authors: Brasil Alex Cruz , Wathier Valdoir Pedro
Published: September 2024

Este artigo tem por objeto uma análise interdisciplinar e crítica da violência numa perspectiva histórico-crítica, de seus conceitos e acepções pluriconceituais. como fenômeno complexo e presente desde a constituição da humanidade. O estudo faz uma cronografia da violência ao longo do tempo em várias civilizações até a contemporaneidade. Deste modo, a violência apresenta-se como um elemento constituinte da humanidade, organizando as relações entre povos e indivíduos ao longo da história e que teve profundas consequências em perda de vidas e prejuízos materiais. A violência é estudada por meio de suas relações com a formação do Estado, a manutenção de grupos hegemônicos no poder e como vetor civilizacional. O texto resgata a literatura das acepções da violência, bem como o Direito e suas relações com a violência, abordando o monopólio da violência do Estado como forma de dominação de uma classe social e como catalisador das guerras e genocídios perpetrados aos povos.

Published: September 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo identificar o quê abordam as produções nacionais e internacionais sobre as relações entre profissionais de enfermagem e pacientes durante o banho no leito. Para tal, foi realizada, entre julho de 2023 e abril de 2024, uma revisão integrativa de literatura nas bases de dados Medline, Web of Science e Scielo. Foram selecionados 09 artigos originais para compor o material de análise, dos quais foram extraídas informações no aplicativo de gerenciamento de pesquisas do Google. Os achados foram analisados considerando a similaridade entre os temas e apresentados sob forma narrativa, resultando em duas categorias: Ações que dificultam e facilitam a realização do banho no leito e Percepções dos pacientes sobre o banho no leito. Na primeira, identificou-se que o momento do banho no leito é oportuno para aproximação entre os envolvidos e  melhor avaliação do paciente, mas depende de fatores como a sobrecarga de atribuições da equipe de enfermagem, que pode acarretar em riscos aumentados na prática assistencial. Na segunda, abordou-se que os pacientes percebem o banho no leito como o melhor momento do dia, trazendo tranquilidade, conforto e felicidade. Conclui-se que o banho no leito é prática frequente e faz parte da rotina da equipe de enfermagem, que é diretamente responsável pela privacidade, conforto e participação ativa do paciente nas decisões relacionadas ao procedimento.

Sífilis Congênita (SC) é uma infecção crônica sistêmica que ocorre pela disseminação hematogênica do Treponema pallidum da gestante não tratada ou inadequadamente tratada para o feto por via transplacentária ou por contato direto durante o parto. Considerada um grave problema de saúde pública no Brasil devido suas repercussões negativas para o feto, estratégias de prevenção são adotadas em todo o território brasileiro visando evitar novos casos. No entanto, o estado do Pará nos últimos anos ocupou o terceiro lugar com o maior percentual de casos novos de Sífilis Congênita. Nesse sentido, este trabalho tem como objetivo identificar na literatura, as estratégias de prevenção e diagnóstico da Sífilis Congênita implantadas na Atenção Primária em Saúde no estado do Pará. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, tipo revisão integrativa da literatura, com abordagem qualitativa. Os resultados evidenciaram que as estratégias implantadas se baseiam nas ações da Rede Cegonha, reestruturação das Estratégias de Saúde da Família, projetos e ações pontuais, captação dos parceiros das gestantes diagnosticadas com Sífilis gestacional e a capacitação dos profissionais que atuam na Atenção Básica. Conclui-se que as estratégias implantadas no estado do Pará ainda são insuficientes, sendo essencial implementar políticas públicas efetivas para ampliação do tratamento, busca ativa de casos, vigilância epidemiológica e acesso à informação para controlar a Sífilis Congênita.
Substitution of Chemical Fertilizer with Organic MOL Fertilizer to Increase Crop Productivity
Authors: Lestari Bibit Lilik
Published: September 2024

Agriculture in Indonesia faces major challenges in terms of sustainability and productivity, especially with the high dependence on chemical fertilizers that can damage the soil in the long run. This study aims to determine the impact of chemical fertilizer substitution with MOL organic fertilizer on rice productivity in Village X, East Java. This research used a quantitative approach with a comparative case study. Data were collected during one rice growing season from two treatment groups using different fertilizers. Primary data were obtained through field observation, direct measurement, and sample analysis, while secondary data were collected from village reports and previous studies. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that chemical fertilizer increased rice productivity higher in the short term than MOL organic fertilizer. Independent T-test results showed significant differences, with chemical fertilizers producing significantly higher yields (t-value 12.45, p-value 2.306). However, the use of chemical fertilizers negatively impacts soil quality and the environment in the long run. In contrast, MOL organic fertilizer improved soil quality despite lower yields. SEM analysis showed that the substitution of chemical fertilizer with MOL organic fertilizer had a significant effect but with a smaller estimated coefficient compared to the use of chemical fertilizer. MOL organic fertilizer provides long-term benefits by improving soil fertility so that to achieve high production and protect the environment, a combination of using chemical fertilizers at optimal doses and gradually using organic fertilizers is highly recommended to support sustainable agriculture.

A luz solar é essencial para a produção de vitamina D, benéfica ao ser humano. Entretanto, a exposição excessiva da radiação ultravioleta (UV) é prejudicial e pode causar doenças graves. Por isso, a utilização de protetor solar é uma aliada na prevenção do efeito deletério que a radiação UV pode causar. A formulação de protetores solares passou por uma grande transformação tecnológica no passado recente, resultando em maior eficiência e segurança do protetor solar. Com a chegada da nanotecnologia a indústria cosmética alcançou melhorias das características do produto, no qual é incorporado nanopartículas de compostos ativos com capacidade de filtrar a radiação UV que poderia atingir a pele. Seu efeito positivo consiste na melhora do desempenho, aparência, entrega de ingredientes ativos e sensorial dos cosméticos. Mas, apesar das evidentes vantagens apresenta desafios relacionados à segurança, pela possibilidade de absorção mais profunda pela pele, pelo tamanho muito pequeno das nanopartículas, o que poderia causar problemas. Por isso, os nanossistemas surgiram como uma estratégia para contornar esse problema, são transportadores adequados de filtros UV, cujas nanopartículas são encapsuladas, retém por mais tempo na superfície da pele reduzindo e/ou impedindo sua maior absorção no organismo. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho é conceituar alguns dos nanossistemas mais modernos do momento, incluindo nanoemulsões, lipossomas e vesículas ultradeformáveis (transferossomas, etossomas e transetossomas) e nanopartículas poliméricas. Além disso, as implicações na saúde são abordadas.

Chronic low back pain is a multifactorial condition that affects the spine and has a complex pathophysiological basis. This article aims to analyze the clinical consequences and factors that influence the phenotypic diversity of this condition. Phenotypic variation is crucial to allow adaptation throughout evolution, but this variation must be controlled to avoid compromising the vital functions of the musculoskeletal system. Vertebral structures maintain their characteristics and signaling pathways over time, with conserved epigenetic modifications. Phenotypic diversity in the vertebral unit occurs due to processes of ontogeny, remodeling, phenotypic variation, adaptation, and environmental sensitivity. These processes involve internal and external stressors, orderly transitions of cell development, temporal changes in development, rapid adaptation, and epigenetic modifications.

Comparison of the use of NBR 8800 and NBR 14762 for the flexural design of steel profiles
Authors: Arruda Jessica Almeida Monteiro , Cortês Carlos Frederico Macêdo
Published: September 2024

This article presents the results of the flexural strength of rolled steel profiles with U shape and cold-formed sections of UDCS section (single plate bent U), using the procedures of the Brazilian Standards ABNT NBR 8800:2008, which deals with the design of steel structures and composite steel and concrete structures for buildings, and ABNT NBR 14762:2010, which addresses the design of steel structures consisting of cold-formed profiles. For the analysis, routines were developed in the Microsoft Excel software, which made it possible to make comparisons regarding the feasibility of using the two types of profiles. The comparisons included groups of profiles of the two types, selected based on similar cross-sectional areas and close moments of inertia, in order to establish more precise parameters for the analysis. The results indicated that, although both profiles meet specific resistance requirements, the normative procedures of the two ABNT standards applied are not directly comparable to each other, which implies the need for different considerations for each type of profile when evaluating its structural feasibility. This difference highlights the importance of a careful analysis in the choice of profiles to be used in structural projects, considering the specificities and limitations of each standard.

The effects of trade openness on CO2 emissions in Sub-Saharan Africa: fresh evidence from new measure
Authors: Mohamadou Oumarou  , Mohammadou Nourou
Published: September 2024

This study assesses the effects of trade openness on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In contrast to previous studies, and in order to make a significant contribution to the empirical literature on the subject, we capture trade openness through a new and innovative approach that takes into account not only the share of a country’s trade in its gross domestic product but also the size of its trade in world trade. In addition, this study also stands out for its consideration of trade openness in different sectors of the economy (primary, secondary and tertiary). For the econometric strategies, the study used data from 38 SSA countries between 2002 and 2022 and estimated the effects by the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) system and the double ordinary least squares method. The main results show that in SSA: trade openness contributes to rising CO2 emissions. In addition, trade in the primary (agriculture), secondary (industry) and tertiary (services) sectors contributes to the increase in CO2 emissions. The models used are controlled by several variables. The results show that the renewable energy consumption is a key driver of environmental quality, which seems to reduce CO2 emissions. On the other hand, human capital, population growth and the quality of institutions increase CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the interaction between openness and institutional quality has a negative impact on CO2 emissions. Therefore, in order to reduce CO2 emissions, SSA needs to put the environment on the agenda of future trade negotiations; to implement policies and strategies that guarantee growth without abandoning the environment.

Published: September 2024

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important food crops grown in various agro-climatic conditions and is the staple food for more than half of the world’s population. More than 3.5 billion people depend on rice for more than 20 % of their daily calorie requirement (Maclean et al., 2013). Globally it is grown over 165.25 m ha with the production of 509.87 million tonnes milled rice (FAOSTAT, 2021). However, the production of rice is being adversely affected by various biotic and abiotic stresses. Bacterial leaf blight (BLB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), is a major disease affecting rice production worldwide, leading to significant yield losses. It is a serious problem in South-West monsoon season (Kharif season). It is a vascular disease and the symptoms can be visualized in terms of drying and yellowing of leaves which starts from the leaf tips and proceed downward. Understanding the pathogen’s life cycle and its interaction with rice plants is crucial for developing effective management strategies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the biology and epidemiology of Xoo, highlighting its infection mechanisms and life cycle. We explore the genetic basis of BLB resistance in rice, focusing on the identification and characterization of Resistance genes (R genes) that confer immunity against various Xoo strains. The integration of these R genes through conventional breeding and advanced molecular techniques such as Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS) has led to the development of resistant rice varieties.

Authors:   Zoological museum, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Tomkovich P.S.
Published: September 2024

The abundant Nearctic Wilson’s Phalarope is a probable occasional visitor to Siberia. Information about three or four summer records of this species from north-eastern Yakutia and Wrangel Island in the second half of the 20th century was published in Russian sources, but none of them has been reliably confirmed. Even a statement about a case of breeding in tundra between Yana and Indigirka Rivers exists (Перфильев, 1976), which is extremely doubtful. Identification of the species, plumages, moults, breeding and non-breeding ranges, migrations, breeding biology, behaviour, food and enemies are briefly described based on published sources.

Authors:   Tran Van Du High School, Quang Nam, Viet Nam, Ty NGUYEN , Nu Oanh TON ,   Tran Cao Van High School, Quang Nam, Viet Nam
Published: September 2024

This is scientific research on how to overcome the current shortage of high school teachers. Population growth and economic deterioration are the main causes of reduced investment in education; Schools receive little investment in additional construction to meet the learning needs of students; Investment in teacher training has not been increased. Besides the pressure at work, teachers receive low salaries, which is also the cause of teachers quitting their jobs.
