O lócus da investigação foi uma escola pública que atendia estudantes em condições de pobreza, com vulnerabilidade social, oriundos de famílias com pouco acompanhamento dos filhos. Essa precarização na educação compromete o desenvolvimento dos estudantes, podendo não ser capazes de desenvolver plenamente capacidades cognoscitivas avançadas como análise, síntese, resolução de problemas complexos, pensamento crítico e criativo, reforçando a desigualdade educativa e social. O objetivo da investigação consistiu em analisar a aprendizagem do jogo nas aulas de Educação Física de um 1º ano do ensino médio. O referencial teórico-metodológico buscou aproximação com o materialismo histórico-dialético e utilizou como técnica a pesquisa-ação com registros em diário de campo. A análise iniciou com a descrição densa dos dados e elencou os princípios dialéticos da realidade e das possibilidades. Os resultados do aporte teórico apontavam possibilidades referenciadas nos Parâmetros Curriculares para Educação Física de Pernambuco (PCPE, 2013), documento que orientou a investigação numa proposição teórico-metodológica voltada para a Educação Física Crítico-Superadora. O documento previa 60 horas-aula para sistematizar o jogo no ensino médio como um todo, num processo de elaboração do pensamento dos estudantes sobre o conteúdo. A turma do 1º ano tinha possibilidades de ampliar e aprofundar a sistematização do jogo, contextualizando-o, relacionando-o ao Lazer / Saúde / Trabalho, refletindo sobre seu significado central, sobre valores éticos e sociais, reorganizando o conhecimento tratado em aulas, iniciando a formação de regularidades teóricas sobre o tema. Entretanto, a pesquisa de campo foi interrompida devido à pandemia da COVID-19, mas foi possível analisar 08 horas-aula das 20 planejadas para a turma investigada, tendo os resultados revelado que, na realidade, os estudantes explicitaram sua aprendizagem do jogo formando conceitos por complexos, não houve elaboração dos conceitos abstratos que iniciam a explicação das regularidades essenciais do jogo via desenvolvimento de capacidades psíquicas como análise, síntese, pensamento crítico, dentre outras, permanecendo distanciados do IV ciclo de escolarização, correspondente ao ensino médio. Concluiu-se que a aprendizagem do jogo (realidade) ainda ocorreu com a base empírica dos conceitos por complexos e não atingiu o pensamento abstrato, por conceitos teóricos, que são a base para a estruturação da personalidade e da concepção de mundo dos estudantes do ensino médio.

It was this group that was originally called the Mu'tazilites because they distanced themselves from the issue of khilafah dispute. This group is neutral without the stigma of theology. The second group emerged as a response to the theological problems that developed among the Kharijites and Murji'ahs due to the events of Tahkim. This group emerged because they differed with the Khawarij and Murji'ah groups about giving the pagan status to the big sinner. This discussion topic is about: The perpetrator of the great sin, faith and kufr, the deeds and deeds of man, the nature of God, the absolute will of God and the justice of God.

Pernikahan merupakan suatu ikatan yang sangat sakral dalam agama kita, karena dengan adanya pernikahan ini hasrat seseorang akan tersalurkan dalam bingkai ibadah. Serta akan mendapatkan keturunan yang dilegitimasi oleh agama. Namun jangan dikira bahwa hidup dalam sebuah ikatan perkawinan penuh dengan hiasan canda dan tawa bagaikan hidup dalam surga. Tentunya banyak kendala-kendala yang mereka hadapi baik itu disebabkan oleh faktor ekonomi, orang tua maupun lingkungan. Memang semua jenis kendala, baik yang rumit hingga sangat rumit yang ada di dalam keluarga harus selalu dicoba untuk sama-sama kita selesaikan dengan baik-baik, agar kita dapat mempertahankan hubungan pernikahan kita dengan baik dan tidak terlibat kedalam cerai (talak). Tetapi apabila sudah sangat terpaksa dan kebersamaan di dalam hubungan semakin lama semakin terasa tidak tenang, menyiksa dan masalah yang ada semakin lama tidak kunjung membaik, maka dengan sangat terpaksa melakukan talak/prceraian diperbolehkan meskipun hal ini tidak disukai oleh Allah swt.

The research is field research, where the data collection methods are: Observation, Interviews and documentation. The study found that the phenomenon of agricultural land rent in Nagori Perlanaan was with money. From Qardhawi's view, this practice is prohibited. The reason is that there is a prohibition from several prophetic traditions (hadits). In addition, this method contains elements of injustice and vagueness. Such method cannot be excluded with other rental models such as house, vehicles and so on. In this context, the muzâra'ah system or profit sharing is more appropriate, because tenant farmers are more protected and guaranteed.

Seni Helah dan Perbahasan Belanjawan 2024: Analisis Pragmatik
Authors: Bin Mat Isa Muhammad Qhidir
Published: September 2024

The integrity of the administration of any governmentlargely depends on relevant and clear financial policies, for instance, Short-Term Plans or Annual Budgets. Periodically, the Annual Budget, the most important component of Parliamentary discourse, will be tabled for discussion, either to gain support or face criticism in both Houses of Representatives. Certainly, discussions and debates require politicians to master the art of rhetoric, analysis, and inference to navigate the dynamics of political legitimacy. For this purpose, the important document known as the Hansard serves as a substantial source, recording the strategies and art of Evasive Language in challenging-defending policies, addressing-mitigating issues, and strengthening-undermining the image that determines the integrity of the legitimacy of both the Governmentand and Opposition. However, previous corpus studies by Hansard on the topic of Evasive Response have focused only on the structural forms of debate. Therefore, employing three Pragmatic models, namely Harris’s Framework of Respons (1991), Thomas’s Notion of Implicator (1995), and Claymen’s Dimension of Resistance (2012), this qualitative study aims to analyse more complex, intense, and natural debate sessions, specifically the policy debate on the 2024 Budget. The findings reveal that all three types of Responses have some distinctive features, and their selection correlates with the scale of their impact on the image of the Government-Opposition. In addition, adhering to the Gricean Maxims (1975), the configuration of Evasive Language behavior is more easily defined and justified. Lastly, the discourse background at the policy level is more heterogeneous, thereby enriching the performative nature of Evasive Language.
Undi 18 di Malaysia: Pasca Pelaksanaan dan Cabaran Berterusan
Authors: Roslan Nuraini , Syafuddin Tan Mohd Zulhelmi
Published: September 2024

Most countries in the world have already allowed their 18-year-old citizens to vote in the country’s general elections; however, there are also countries that allow citizens as young as 16 to vote. The readiness of young voters is an issue highlighted by many researchers through post-implementation analysis of UNDI18 in Malaysia. This is due to the involvement of young voters which affects the legitimacy of the newly formed government.  Additionally, existing research narratives focus on context from a specific demographic point of view or the analysis of topical issues in general. The objective of writing this article is to analyze the implementation of ‘UNDI18’ as well as the challenges and post-challenges faced by young voters in this country presented by previous researchers and provide new findings in the aspects discussed by the Parliament of Malaysia. This qualitative study highlights the ‘desktop research’ strategy with thematic, narrative and descriptive analysis. This article presents three main syntheses on ‘UNDI18’ and the legitimacy of the government formed through the themes generated from the content analysis. The article also discovered that social elements shape the difficulties faced by young voters in this nation, with external factors taking the lead. The article concluded that we need to develop a strategic policy that educates young voters on political and democratic issues, empowering them to make more persuasive decisions. This also entails the government’s obligation to address the issue of political education or elections for young people, and to identify specific departments or agencies that are responsible for this task.

Authors: Abdul Hai Azreen Haniza , Syafuddin Tan Mohd Zulhelmi , Jen Augustine Leonard
Published: September 2024

This study explores the Parliament of Malaysia’s transition towards a more public-friendly institution, part of a global trend towards transparent and people-centric parliamentary processes. Utilising 16 articles from the Inter-parliamentary Union’s Public Engagement Hub and additional literature, the research compares Malaysia’s initiatives with those of the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand. The analysis focuses on public engagement strategies such as public broadcasting of sessions, committee hearings, public visits, research services, and the potential for a parliamentary budget office and petition systems. Findings indicate Malaysia’s progress in some areas, like public broadcasting and committee hearings, while identifying gaps in others, like interactive visitor experiences and comprehensive digital engagement. The study highlights the challenge of balancing security with accessibility, especially under legal frameworks like the Protected Areas and Protected Places Act 1959 (Act 298). Recommendations include enhancing the Parliament’s virtual tour and establishing a more engaging visitor centre. The study concludes that while Malaysia has made commendable strides in public engagement, there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in areas requiring substantial legal and structural changes. This study contributes to understanding the dynamics of public engagement in parliamentary processes, underscoring the significance of a People’s Parliament spirit in democratic governance.
Implicit Race Bias in Pediatric Patients: Understanding Patient Perspectives
Authors: Adams Taylor M. , Guzek Ryan , Brar Ravinder
Published: September 2024

Introduction:

Implicit racial bias has been well studied in adults, including among orthopaedic surgeons, through the Implicit Association Test (IAT). Recent studies suggest implicit race bias is also present among children. Explicit racial preference has been studied in children through The Clark Doll Test since the 1930s. The purpose of this study was to determine whether implicit and explicit racial biases are present among pediatric orthopaedic patients.

Methods:

A prospective, cross-sectional survey was administered to pediatric orthopaedic patients aged 7 to 18 years at clinics in a tertiary pediatric hospital setting. The survey included a Clark Doll Test to determine whether pediatric patients expressed explicit bias, followed by a race IAT to determine whether pediatric patients expressed implicit bias. Preference and magnitude of implicit bias as demonstrated on the IAT was calculated using standard D-scores.

Results:

A total of 96 patients were consented and included in this study. Overall, pediatric patients demonstrated a slight pro-White implicit bias (M = 0.22) on IAT testing. Pediatric patients who identified as White or European American and Hispanic or Latinx both had the strongest pro-White implicit bias (M = 0.35). Patients who identified as Black or African American demonstrated no implicit racial bias (M = −0.13) on IAT testing. No notable explicit bias was observed in participants of any racial background.

Discussion:

This study contributes evidence that pediatric orthopaedic patients express implicit racial bias on IAT testing, with an overall slight pro-White bias. It also provides insight into the dissociation of implicit and explicit racial bias in childhood and adolescence.

Conclusion:

We encourage future research on implicit bias among pediatric patients in the orthopaedic community to provide a better understanding and possible solutions to bias-related challenges in health care.
Disparities in Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry Scan Utilization Across Race/Ethnic Groups Before and After Hip Fractures
Authors: Rudisill Katelyn E. , Ratnasamy Philip P. , Sanchez Joshua G. , Grauer Jonathan N.
Published: September 2024

Background:

Geriatric hip fractures are common and important sentinel events regarding bone health. Although dual x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans are a standard method for determining bone density, differences in use among various race/ethnic groups around the time of hip fracture may reveal disparities within the healthcare system.

Methods:

The 2014 to 2016 Medicare Standard Analytic Files PearlDiver data set was used to identify geriatric patients sustaining hip fracture. From that cohort, those who had a DEXA scan before or after their fracture were defined. For the defined cohorts, patient age, sex, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, race/ethnicity, and income (based on zip code) were defined and compared with univariate and multivariate analyses.

Results:

Of 58,099 hip fracture patients, only 19.8% had had a DEXA scan before fracture and 3.9% of the remaining group had the DEXA scan after fracture. Of the hip fracture population, 91.0% identified as White and 9.0% as non-White (Native American, Black, Hispanic, Asian, or Other). Before hip fracture, controlling for other variables and compared with White patients, all non-White categories were at lesser odds of having had the DEXA scan. After hip fracture, Black, Hispanic, and other patients were also at lesser odds of having the DEXA scan.

Discussion:

Using a large Medicare data set, controlling for patient age, sex, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, and income marker, this study revealed disparities in DEXA scan utilization across race/ethnic groups before and after presenting with a hip fragility fracture. Identification of such disparities highlights the needs for improved medical access and care for this at-risk hip fracture population.

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo hacer una comparación de las características nutricionales del ensilado biológico de pescado producido con yogurt natural y con suero de queso como fuente de bacterias lácticas. Se realizaron cinco repeticiones por tratamiento. La materia prima se recogió de cinco puestos del mercado de Yarinacocha, Ucayali. Los insumos utilizados (residuo de pescado - valores en 500 g, 80 g cáscara de papaya, 80 g cáscara de piña, 50 g melaza y diferencialmente 40 g yogurt natural y 100 g suero de queso) fueron molidos separadamente, mezclados y colocados en un balde cerrado herméticamente por 9 días. Durante esos días se procedió a evaluar el valor de pH en los ensilados producidos. Posterior a ese período, una muestra de cada tipo de ensilado fue obtenida para análisis de composición proximal. El pH descendió a valores menores a 4.0 en ambos tipos de ensilado al primer día de fermentación y al tercer día se logró la estabilización de pH del producto. Los valores proximales muestran características nutricionales apropiadas del producto [proteínas totales 10.53%, lípidos totales 12.98%, cenizas 2.25%] como insumo potencial para la elaboración de dietas para animales, sin diferencia entre los tipos de ensilados generados con yogurt natural y suero de queso, excepto en los valores de humedad siendo mayor en ensilado producido con suero de queso (71.80%) que en el producido con yogurt natural (67.60%) como respuesta al aporte de humedad del insumo suero de queso. Ambos ensilados biológicos de pescado producidos utilizando yogurt natural o suero de queso presentan buenas condiciones como insumo para la elaboración de dietas para animales.

From Imagination to Practical Understandings : meaning making in climate change adaptation
Authors: Söderlund Kanarp Gunnar Christoffer
Published: September 2024

The climate crisis calls for transformative responses, including transforming the governance and practices of adaptation and the purposes of adaptation actions. This thesis contributes to understanding the inertia that marks adaptation and provides empirically grounded reflections on how to move towards transformative adaptation. Combining Critical Future Studies, using imaginaries, with Social Practice Theory, this study explores meaning-making processes shaping adaptation governance, its purpose, boundaries, and how it is performed. This is done through an overview of globally circulating and competing climate adaptation imaginaries, and a layered case study of regional imaginaries and situated practices of adaptation governance in the Swedish public sector. The study finds that the dominant imaginaries and practices in the Swedish public sector assume that the future is predictable and controllable. These assumptions are intertwined with (often) unspoken ideals of economic growth, technological innovations and expert-led planning. This promotes proactive, but incremental adaptation strategies, where transboundary risks are ignored while transboundary benefits are assumed to remain. Consequentially, long-term perspectives, uncertainty, and plausible high-risk scenarios, are downplayed. Transforming society through transformative adaptation is a slow process, fraught with overcoming unequal power dynamics. From a practice perspective, it will begin through making space for joint critical reflection on the assumptions and ends that guide routine responses of ‘doing’ adaptation. This must be combined with explicitly debating and imagining desirable futures that accommodate the uncertainty generated by recognizing transboundary risks and long-term perspectives.

O processo de alfabetização e letramento são indissociáveis e devem caminhar juntos. Alfabetização refere-se ao conhecimento do código escrito, a habilidade de ler e escrever, enquanto letramento envolve o desenvolvimento do uso de práticas sociais de leitura e escrita em contextos reais. Esse processo torna o indivíduo capaz de utilizar a escrita deliberadamente em diversas situações sociais. A construção da linguagem escrita na criança é um trabalho contínuo de elaboração cognitiva, facilitado por interações sociais e orais, e levando em conta a importância da escrita na sociedade. A relevância desse processo está em promover a participação crítica nas práticas sociais de escrita e em considerar o diálogo entre os conhecimentos da vida cotidiana, que formam nossa identidade cultural, e os conhecimentos mais elaborados que explicam a realidade.
PROPOSAL FOR THE CREATION OF CARBON CREDIT MINI-MARKETS CONSIDERING ORGANIZATIONS’ SUPPLY CHAINS
Authors: França Antonio de Sant’Anna Limongi , Pessoa Marcelo Schneck de Paula
Published: September 2024

Discussions about reducing carbon emissions typically focus on large emitters while small and medium-sized organizations are outside this scope. The aim of this work is to propose the creation of mini-markets for carbon credits in chains of organizations to include small and medium-sized organizations, integrating urban and rural areas in the same region, offering an important contribution to smart and sustainable cities. The research took the meat and dairy chains as a reference and conducted a brief case study in two organizations. The result is a governance model that includes small and medium-sized organizations in the context of reducing emissions and generating benefits. This research can be extended to other chains and allows for compensation between companies in the same segment. A segment can be a production chain or a group of urban and rural organizations in the same region. The proposed principle is that initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by region contribute to better overall governance of such initiatives, as the materialization of projects and results becomes more agile and effective.
The Perspectives of Post-graduates Majoring in English Regarding the Usage of QuillBot to Enhance Paraphrasing Skills
Authors: Pham Ngoc Quynh Nhu
Published: September 2024

Paraphrasing is considered an important skill for postgraduates in their journey toward pursuing an academic degree. This skill helps postgraduates avoid plagiarism and showcases their ability to analyze, research, and perform academic writing tasks. Although numerous studies have determined the importance of this skill, most postgraduates still frequently need help in achieving paraphrasing proficiency. The emergence of QuillBot, an AI-powered paraphrasing tool, is a potential solution for these frequent challenges in learning paraphrasing skills. The overall benefits of QuillBot on the academic writing skills of English learners have been recognized and proven in various studies. However, only some studies have delved into how QuillBot assists postgraduates who took part in improving their paraphrasing skills, serving the academic genre of writing. Therefore, this study recruited twenty English-majored postgraduates to investigate.

Published: September 2024

Liver transplantation serves as a life-saving intervention for patients with end-stage liver disease, yet long-term survival remains a challenge. Post-liver transplant obesity seems to have a significant contribution to this challenge and it emerges as a significant risk factor for graft steatosis, metabolic syndrome and de-novo malignancy development. This review synthesizes current literature on prevalence, risk factors and management strategies for post-liver transplant obesity, emphasizing its impact on graft and patient survival. Literature review consultation was conducted in Medline/PubMed, SciELO and EMBASE, with the combination of the following keywords: Weight management, liver transplantation, immunosuppressive therapy, lifestyle interventions, bariatric surgery. Immunosuppressive therapy has a significant influence on long-term survival of liver transplant patients, yet it seems to have lesser effect on post-transplant obesity development than previously thought. However, it significantly contributes to the development of other components of metabolic syndrome. Key predisposing factors for post-transplant obesity development encompass elevated recipient and donor body mass index, a history of alcoholic liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, male gender, the absence of cellular rejection and the marital status of the recipient. Tailored immunosuppressive regimens, pharmacotherapy, lifestyle interventions and bariatric surgery represent key components in mitigating post-transplant obesity and improving long-term survival and quality of life in this group of patients. Timely identification and intervention thus hold paramount importance. Further research is warranted to refine optimal management strategies and enhance outcomes in this patient population.

BACKGROUND

Although the benefits of exercise for kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have been widely demonstrated, these patients experience several barriers in undertaking a structured exercise program in hospital and non-hospital facilities.

AIM

To compare the effects of a supervised moderate-intensity gym-based intervention with a home-based low-intensity walking program on exercise capacity in KTRs.

METHODS

KTRs were asked to choose between two six-month programs. The first group performed a low-intensity interval walking intervention at home-based exercise intervention (HBex). The second group performed a supervised training program at an adapted physical activity gym (Sgym), including aerobic and resistance training. The outcomes, collected at baseline and at the end of the programs, included the 6-minute walking test, the peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) during a treadmill test, the 5-time sit-to-stand test, and blood pressure.

RESULTS

Seventeen patients agreed to participate and self-selected into the HBex (n = 9) and Sgym (n = 8) groups. Two patients in the Sgym group dropped out because of familial problems. At baseline, patients in the HBex group were significantly older and had lower walking distance, VO2peak, and lower limb strength. Primary outcome changes were significantly greater in the HBex group than in the Sgym group (52 ± 23 m vs 8 ± 34; P = 0.005). No other significant differences between groups were observed. Both groups improved most of the outcomes in the within-group comparisons, with significant variations in VO2 peak.

CONCLUSION

Six-month moderate-intensity supervised or low-intensity home-based training programs effectively improved exercise capacity in KTRs. Gym-based programs combine aerobic and resistance training; however, in-home walking may be proposed for frail KTRs.
Clinical use of donor-derived cell-free DNA in kidney transplantation

Traditional monitoring of kidney transplant recipients for allograft dysfunction caused by rejection involves serial checks of serum creatinine with biopsy of the renal allograft if dysfunction is suspected. This approach is labor-intensive, invasive and costly. In addition, because this approach relies on a rise in serum creatinine above historical baselines, injury to the allograft can be extensive before this rise occurs. In an effort to address this, donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cf DNA) is being used with increasing frequency in the clinical setting as a means of diagnosing a rejection of the renal allograft early in the course. This can potentially allow for early intervention to minimize not only injury, but the intensity of antirejection therapy needed and the avoidance of side effects. Here, we will review the available methodology for the determination and quantification of dd-cf DNA, the data supporting its use in clinical practice and the limitations of this technology.
Supportive care in transplantation: A patient-centered care model to better support kidney transplant candidates and recipients

Published: September 2024

Kidney transplantation (KT), although the best treatment option for eligible patients, entails maintaining and adhering to a life-long treatment regimen of medications, lifestyle changes, self-care, and appointments. Many patients experience uncertain outcome trajectories increasing their vulnerability and symptom burden and generating complex care needs. Even when transplants are successful, for some patients the adjustment to life post-transplant can be challenging and psychological difficulties, economic challenges and social isolation have been reported. About 50% of patients lose their transplant within 10 years and must return to dialysis or pursue another transplant or conservative care. This paper documents the complicated journey patients undertake before and after KT and outlines some initiatives aimed at improving patient-centered care in transplantation. A more cohesive approach to care that borrows its philosophical approach from the established field of supportive oncology may improve patient experiences and outcomes. We propose the "supportive care in transplantation" care model to operationalize a patient-centered approach in transplantation. This model can build on other ongoing initiatives of other scholars and researchers and can help advance patient-centered care through the entire care continuum of kidney transplant recipients and candidates. Multi-dimensionality, multi-disciplinarity and evidence-based approaches are proposed as other key tenets of this care model. We conclude by proposing the potential advantages of this approach to patients and healthcare systems.

Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Liver grafts from donation after circulatory death (DCD) are associated with a higher risk of early graft dysfunction, determined by the warm ischemia and cold ischemia times. It is essential to have precise criteria to identify this complication in order to guide therapeutic strategies.

AIM

To validate different graft and recipient survival scores in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) with DCD grafts.

METHODS

A retrospective and observational unicentric study was conducted on 65 LT patients with grafts obtained from controlled DCD donors from November 2013 to November 2022. The United Kingdom (UK) risk score, early allograft dysfunction (EAD) Olthoff score, and model for early allograft function (MEAF) score were used to evaluate the risk of graft and recipient survival post-transplant. For survival analysis purposes, we used the Kaplan-Meier method, and the differences between subgroups were compared using the log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test.

RESULTS

Sixty-five patients were included in the study. The UK risk score did not demonstrate predictive capacity for recipient or graft survival. However, in donors aged over 70 years old (18.4%), it significantly predicted graft survival (P < 0.05). According to Kaplan-Meier survival curves, graft survival rates at 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years in the futility group dramatically decreased to 50% compared to the other groups (log-rank 8.806, P < 0.05). The EAD Olthoff and MEAF scores did not demonstrate predictive capacity for recipient or graft survival. Based on Kaplan-Meier survival curves, patients with a MEAF score ≥ 7 had a lower graft survival rate at 6 months, 2 years, and 5 years compared to patients with a lower MEAF score (log-rank 4.667, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSION

In our series, both UK DCD risk score and MEAF score showed predictive capability for graft survival.
Normothermic regional perfusion mobile teams in controlled donation after circulatory death pathway: Evidence and peculiarities

Published: September 2024

To facilitate the implementation of controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) programs even in hospitals not equipped with a local Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) team (Spokes), some countries and Italian Regions have launched a local cDCD network with a ECMO mobile team who move from Hub hospitals to Spokes for normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) implantation in the setting of a cDCD pathway. While ECMO teams have been clearly defined by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization, regarding composition, responsibilities and training programs, no clear, widely accepted indications are to date available for NRP teams. Although existing NRP mobile networks were developed due to the urgent need to increase the number of cDCDs, there is now the necessity for transplantation medicine to identify the peculiarities and responsibility of a NRP team for all those centers launching a cDCD pathway. Thus, in the present manuscript we summarized the characteristics of an ECMO mobile team, highlighting similarities and differences with the NRP mobile team. We also assessed existing evidence on NRP teams with the goal of identifying the characteristic and essential features of an NRP mobile team for a cDCD program, especially for those centers who are starting the program. Differences were identified between the mobile ECMO team and NRP mobile team. The common essential feature for both mobile teams is high skills and experience to reduce complications and, in the case of cDCD, to reduce the total warm ischemic time. Dedicated training programs should be developed for the launch of de novo NRP teams.
