Authors: Leonardi Nicolás , Caciva Ricardo Christían , Piemonte Eduardo David , Brusa Martín , Sambuelli Rubén , Allende Adrián , Panico René Luis
Published: February 2024

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare subtype of T-cell lymphoma that may involve mucocutaneous sites, in primary form, or secondary to systemic disease. It is a systemic malignancy characterized by an extranodal phenotype that rarely occurs in the oral cavity as the first manifestation of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. In the primary forms, ALCL stands out for its favorable prognosis, being important to differentiate them clinically from the secondary ones, which have a rapid and aggressive evolution. For its diagnosis, it requires a rigorous physical and clinical examination and a duly oriented anatomopathological and immunohistochemical evaluation. In the present work, a clinical case of ALCL secondary to HIV is presented, detailing clinical characteristics, anatomopathological description, immunohistochemical profile and evolution against treatment.

Introduction: The diagnosis of cancer can provoke innumerable changes in the life of cancer patients, caused by the illness and the methods of treatment. Dysgeusia is a common complication, which directly affects the nutritional status causing loss of appetite and decreased intake. Aim: The present paper presents a review of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this oral complication. Material and methods: The present literature review selected articles based on the titles that addressed dysgeusia in cancer patients, as well as the etiology, diagnosis and treatment. After previous analysis, we included 31 relevant articles on the proposed theme. Results: Dysgeusia can be a symptom or a common consequence of several causes. Radiation therapy may lead to dysgeusia, altering the structure of the pores of the palate or causing a thinning of the epithelium of the papilla. The exact mechanism of dysgeusia in cancer patients is not well elucidated. The diagnosis of dysgeusia can be obtained through objective and subjective methods. The objective methods used are chemical gustometria and electrogustometria. The subjective analysis can be performed through questionnaires where patients report if they noticed changes in taste in the foods consumed daily. Various types of treatments are being used to improve taste disorders, such as zinc supplementation, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), ginkgo biloba, pilocarpine, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and acupuncture. Final considerations: The studies are still inconclusive regarding the etiology of the disease and the treatment methods that reduce the impact of dysgeusia on the life of cancer patients.

Authors: Chagas Wagner Pinto das , Rodrigues Bruno Teixeira Gonçalves , Israel Mônica Simões
Published: February 2024

HIV pandemic remains a serious public health issue in the world; Brazil stands out as one of the countries with the highest rates of infected people. The continuous advancement in the understanding of HIV infection, and its forms of transmission and treatment, hasnt necessarily been accompanied by a change in the behavior of the general population, especially of health agents. These, in the performance of their professions, need to be conscious of the deep impact that the condition still holds throughout all of the gradua- tion courses and clinical studies. Therefore, they should ally knowledge about the disease and the mastery of safety practices to attitudes that respect their patients. The present study aims to analyze the behavior of students of the last year Dental students of two Universities from Rio de Janeiro regarding the care of people living with HIV/AIDS, reinforcing the importance of the inclusion of the dental practitioner in the multidisci- plinary team of the study and treatment of the disease. Although 58.3% of the students declared contact with HIV/AIDS patients, only 13.4% had previous training in the care of these patients. It is urgently necessary to add a specific didactic module on HIV/AIDS in the school curriculum.

The formation of the tooth, called Odontogenesis, results from the interaction of the oral epithelium and the ectomesenchyma, where this complex process follows a histological pattern at each stage of this development, thus forming structures such as enamel, dentin, pulp, cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. And in determinatated circumstances, modifications in the process of tooth development alter the morphology of the tissues, forming dental anomalies such as twinning, fusion, concrescence and Dens in Dent (Invented Tooth). Therefore, the objective of this study is to report a rare case of the presence of associated dental anamolies, twinning and Dens in Dent, diagnosed by Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).
Selection of optimal central processing unit using the PSI method
Authors: Pucar Đorđe
Published: February 2024

Modern business strongly relies on the use of information and communication technologies. So, choosing the right technical equipment is extremely important because the right one influences the timely execution of business tasks. Various conflicting criteria impact the decision about equipment selection which justifies the application of Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) as a convenient tool for the optimization of this kind of decision process. This paper proposes the application of the Preference Selection Index (PSI) method to settle the appropriate processing unit (CPU). Five alternative CPUs are compared against four criteria which include: core numbers, virtual cores (threads), operating frequency, and price. The results that came from using the PSI method favor the CPU3 - AMD Ryzen 5 5600 as the most compatible for the end-user in the present case. The obtained results proved the applicability of the PSI method because it facilitated the decision process and define the best solution regarding the given conditions.

Published: February 2024

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the lives of billions of people, especially those with chronic diseases such as diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the physical and mental health of diabetics living in the Balkans. The study was conducted as an online survey in April 2023. 129 people participated in the survey. 76 of them were diagnosed with type 1 and 53 with type 2 diabetes. 6.97% of all respondents had a close family member who died from the consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and as many as 77.78% of these decedents suffered from diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease. The majority of the respondents were also infected with SARS-CoV-2. Most of them were diagnosed with diabetes before infection, and SARS-CoV-2-induced diabetes was mainly type 2. Although they regularly took prescribed pharmacotherapy and nutritional supplements, blood glucose was elevated in half of them, while D-dimer levels were elevated mainly in type 2 diabetics. Also, hospitalization during the acute phase was more frequent in type 2 diabetic patients. Most diabetics suffered from sleep disorders (p < 0.01), and type 2 diabetics also suffered from nightmares (p < 0.05). Consequently, the use of anxiolytics and antidepressants was more frequent in type 2 diabetic patients. Recovery was significantly faster in type 1 diabetics, due to less comorbidities such as hypertension, cardiovascular and liver diseases, which were more common in type 2 patients.
Experimental investigation of buried flexible HDPE pipe
Authors: Ratnaraju Rajkumar
Published: February 2024

Buried pipes are used mainly for water supply and drainage, among many other applications such as oil, liquefied natural gas, coal slurries, and mine tailings. The pipes used may be rigid (reinforced concrete, vitrified clay, and ductile iron) or flexible (steel, UPVC, aluminum, fiberglass, and high-density polyethylene), although the distinction between them is blurring. Deflection or buckling determines the design of flexible pipes. HDPE pipes are preferred due to their light weight, long term chemical stability and cost efficiency. This project aims to design and fabricate an experimental setup of the model trench as a steel tank filled with the desired type of soil and flexible pipe with the required depth and loading provisions to simulate uniform loading and record the behavior, i.e., deflection of the flexible plastic pipe, compare the observation with the theoretical results, and infer the findings. The deflection characteristics were to be measured with the help of a dial gauge fixed inside the pipe. Additionally, the objective is to study the load deformation behavior of the buried pipe and stress variation across the cross section of the pipe under static loading, along with the influence of depth of embedment and density of backfill on the deformation and stresses in the pipe and the deformation behavior of the buried pipe when soil is reinforced with geogrid reinforcement, and evaluate the structural performance of the pipe. Based on the conclusions, various recommendations can be made in terms of the application of buried flexible HDPE pipes in place of conventional pipes and thereby reducing the risk of leakage and damage and also compensating the cost of pipe systems economically.
Fragments of the media image of culture in culture sections of the news Web portals in Serbia
Authors: Čanadanović Zorica , Bajić Predrag
Published: February 2024

This paper discusses the portrayal of culture and the meanings attributed to culture on the most frequently visited informational web portals in the Republic of Serbia. The focus is on the sections that contain the word "culture" in the title. The research reveals that these sections, though with clear variations among individual web portals, are generally given more prominence as stand-alone sections rather than being minimized as sub-sections. The majority of media content created in these sections pertains to music, followed by films and series. The content related to theatre, literature and other cultural aspects is also present, but to a lesser extent. Additionally, there is a significant number of articles covering the private lives of figures from culture and other topics not directly connected to cultural content, raising questions about their relevance to the culture section. Furthermore, it has been noted that user activity is intensified through comments on such media content. However, the genre structure of the content is not diverse, with news and reports being dominant, while other forms of journalism are infrequently found. Consequently, there is a lack of a broader view of cultural content, such as in-depth analysis, criticism and other elements.
Journey through midlife: Personal and collective aspects
Authors: Sladojević-Matić Jelena
Published: February 2024

This paper deals with the changes and challenges inflicted upon an individual entering midlife period. This developmental stage is often recognized as a crisis. It requires engaging in a process of introspection and confrontation with certain limitations that, if accepted, could lead to a more complete and meaningful life. We observe midlife through the process of individuation as the core point of Jung's psychology. We deal with not only personal but also collective i.e. cultural aspects of midlife transition. We take into consideration three phases through which this process could be described and understood: the phase of separation, liminality and reintegration. Throughout this paper, we also follow the archetypal i.e. universal, transcultural aspect of these manifestations by analysing of two myths: the myth of Hermes and Apollo and the myth of Persephone and Demeter. The symbolism and the narrative of these myths could be understood as a metaphorical description of midlife transition. We observe them as liminal, creative and transformational processes leading us to a connection with deeper, transpersonal and collective layers of psyche. The resolution of the midlife crisis can lead to not only more complete psychological but also spiritual development.

Published: February 2024

La influencia humana en los ecosistemas y las interacciones entre especies han sido observadas en variados estudios ornitológicos. Este fenómeno es evidente en áreas donde se proveen alimentos a diferentes comunidades de fauna, como en los comederos de colibríes. Esta suplementación artificial de recursos plantea preguntas sobre su impacto en aspectos como la polinización, visitas florales y movilidad de los colibríes. A partir de una revisión sistemática de literatura se realizó la identificación de los posibles cambios y/o efectos que la presencia de bebederos artificiales podría tener sobre la relación polinizador-planta. Se identificaron 26 artículos que mencionan temas sobre bebederos y su rol en la interacción planta-animal, catalogando los posibles impactos como positivos, negativos o neutros (sin impacto). Se encontró una baja producción científica sobre el tema, donde no fue posible determinar si hay un impacto claro a causa de los bebederos. Adicionalmente, varios investigadores afirman que algunos de los efectos e interacciones de los bebederos en la relación planta-animal podrían estar asociados a un efecto especie-específico, por lo que las generalizaciones son inadecuadas. La literatura de soporte es insuficiente y no concluyente, resaltando la necesidad de estudios rigurosos para evaluar cómo los comederos pueden afectar la biología reproductiva, la distribución espacial y los procesos ecosistémicos de los colibríes a diferentes escalas y aspectos como la biología reproductiva, la distribución espacial de los colibríes y sobre la modificación de procesos ecosistémicos. Complementariamente, se hizo una búsqueda por Google® para identificar páginas de difusión masiva que den información al público en general; de los resultados se tomaron las 40 primeras páginas y sobre ellas se indagó con relación a las fuentes que sustentaban la información planteada, encontrando un vacío de fuentes verificables, como artículos científicos. Consideramos fundamental impulsar la idea de que la divulgación de información de dominio público debe de ser en mayor medida sustentada por datos y estudios ornitológicos concretos.

Published: February 2024

O cultivo de milho safrinha representa a maior área plantada e produção da cultura no Brasil desde a safra 2011/2012, não sendo diferente no estado do Tocantins. O milho é um dos principais cereais produzidos no mundo e uma das espécies vegetais mais exigentes quanto ao Nitrogênio (N). A resposta positiva ao N está relacionada a diversos fatores bióticos e abióticos e que fundamenta a realização de estudos constantes, principalmente em novas fronteiras agrícolas. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar diferentes doses de adubação nitrogenada no cultivo de milho safrinha, em duas regiões no Tocantins. Para tanto, foram instalados dois experimentos de campo (Palmas - TO; Lagoa da Confusão - TO), na safrinha 2021/2022, sob o delineamento de blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições e seis tratamentos (doses de N em cobertura: 0, 40, 80, 120, 160 e 200 kg ha-1). Em Lagoa da Confusão - TO, a produtividade de grãos apresentou resposta linear com média de 5.786 kg ha-1 ao utilizar a dose máxima (200 kg ha-1 de N em cobertura), que foi 104% superior quando do não uso do N em cobertura. Em Palmas – TO, não houve efeito significativo do nitrogênio em cobertura e a produtividade média foi de 6.632 kg ha-1. As características relacionadas a qualidade da semente não apresentaram efeito do nitrogênio em cobertura e correlação com as características agronômicas. Estas, por sua vez, apresentaram forte associação com a produtividade de grãos.

No estado do Paraná a cultura do morangueiro é relevante, contudo, é um mercado que ainda está se expandindo. Conhecer e determinar os principais aspectos econômicos relacionados ao cultivo se torna essencial para o sucesso do empreendimento. O objetivo neste trabalho foi realizar um levantamento dos principais custos de implantação, condução e a viabilidade econômica da cultura do morangueiro em sistema orgânico de produção fora do solo em substrato em Laranjeiras do Sul-PR. O estudo foi realizado na safra de 2022. A pesquisa foi dividida em três etapas. A primeira foi realizada através de pesquisa bibliográfica de todos os aspectos do sistema orgânico de morangueiro fora do solo em substrato. A segunda etapa se constitui de um estudo de caso e a terceira etapa, referente às análises dos custos de produção e da viabilidade econômica da cultura. Os custos totais de condução e implantação de uma estufa de 250 m² de morangueiros com 1800 plantas atingiram R$ 39.147,00, cujos componentes mais significativos na composição dos custos foram os gastos com a estrutura, especialmente com postes de eucalipto. Para a análise de viabilidade se utilizou os seguintes índices: Valor Presente Líquido (VPL), Taxa Interna de Retorno (TIR) e Payback descontado. Os resultados obtidos identificam viabilidade financeira na produção, pois o VPL foi de R$ 69.509,88; a TIR de 57%; a rentabilidade foi de R$ 25.097,00/ano em uma estufa de 250 m²; e o Payback foi de 1,6 anos. Analisando esses índices se afirmar que o investimento é viável e promissor.

A utilização de agrotóxicos é uma prática altamente frequente na produção agrícola, por contribuir no controle de pragas. O uso desses produtos deve respeitar as Boas Práticas Agrícolas (BPA), e, como consequência espera-se que os alimentos se enquadrem nos parâmetros vigentes. Para que essa garantia seja validada, há o Programa Nacional de Controle de Resíduos e Contaminantes (PNCRC) Vegetal do Ministério da Agricultura e Pecuária (MAPA), visando a elaboração de um diagnóstico da qualidade dos produtos. Com base nesses estudos, fez-se uma análise e interpretação dos resultados obtidos com os alimentos: banana, batata, maçã, tomate e uva comercializados no Rio Grande do Sul. Foram compiladas informações de documentos emitidos para o programa, no período entre 2016 a 2020, a fim de avaliar a conformidade dos alimentos in natura. Foram consideradas não conformes as amostras que apresentavam teores residuais de agrotóxicos acima do limite máximo de referência (LMR) para a cultura ou aquelas com residual não permitido para a cultura (NPC). O índice de conformidade geral para os hortícolas destacados foi superior a 95%. Os dados foram semelhantes aos de países citados como rigorosos no monitoramento e fiscalização desse perigo químico. A maior parte das não conformidades (NC) ocorreu pela presença de resíduos acima do LMR para a cultura, em especial pela presença de inseticidas dos grupos químicos organofosforados e piretróides.  Estes resultados demonstram que os alimentos produzidos e consumidos no Brasil possuem características de qualidade semelhantes à de países desenvolvidos. Ilustrando o que o alimento ingerido pela população é seguro. Para se obterem melhores resultados é essencial assistência técnica para os agricultores, visando diminuir a incidência de resíduos acima do Limite Máximo para o produto.

Published: February 2024

Soil fertility problem is a major constraint to faba bean production in Wolaita Zone in Ethiopia. Hence, a field experiment was conducted in Kokate Marachare sub-district during 2019 and 2020 cropping seasons to determine the optimum N, P, and K fertilizers for enhanced uptake and use efficiency of faba bean. Three rates of N (0, 23, and 46 kg N ha–1), P (0, 46, and 92 kg P2O5 ha–1), and K fertilizer (0, 30, and 60 kg K2O ha–1) were tested using RCBD with three replications. Data on agronomic efficiency (AE), agro-physiological efficiency (APE), apparent recovery efficiency (ARE), and utilization efficiency of N, P, and K nutrients were analyzed. The results revealed N, P, and K uptake efficiency (UE) indices of faba bean were significantly influenced by the main effects of the rate of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers. Thus, applying 23 kg N ha–1, 46 kg P2O5 ha–1, and 30 kg K2O ha–1 resulted higher N, P, and K AE, respectively (33.70 kg kg-1, 13.43 kg kg-1, and 27.32 kg kg-1); PE (76.87 kg kg-1, 104.51 kg kg-1, and 118.83 kg kg-1); APE (40.49 kg kg-1, 104.51 kg kg-1, and 68.07 kg kg-1); ARE (84.48%, 2.00%, and 40.30%); and UE (63.47 kg kg-1, 2.52 kg kg-1, and 56.08 kg kg-1). Therefore, 23 kg N ha–1, 46 kg P2O 5ha–1, and 30 kg K2O ha–1 are recommended for the higher N, P, and K uptake and use efficiency of faba bean.

Forestry measurement is aimed at volumetric production of wood; however, for the pulp processing industry, the main interest is productivity in wood biomass and, to know this variable, it is necessary to determine the basic wood density (BWD) beforehand. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been used in the forestry sector quite successfully to describe the dynamics of forest characteristics, such as estimating wood volume. In this context, the objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of the basic wood density estimates by means of ANN’s with Continuous Forest Inventory (CFI) and edaphoclimatic input variables. The database consisted of 3,797 data, from permanent plots of the CFI conducted in Eucalyptus sp stands and edaphoclimatic data from the planting sites. The five best ANNs were selected and the analysis of the estimates was carried out through the correlation between the estimated and BWD, the relative root mean square error (RMSE%) and graphical information. It was observed that both the CFI, edaphoclimatic information and the combination of both are potential and present similar results for the basic wood density estimate, and the errors associated with the estimates are between 3.9% to 3.5%.  The ANNs based only on the CFI information presented higher RMSE. The use of ANN’s is feasible for estimating BWD and allows for excellent accuracy statistics.

Secondary forests constitute important regenerating areas and they are expanding rapidly in the Amazonian landscape. The characterization of forest remnants provides essential information for conservation, management and recovery actions. The objective of the present study was to conduct a floristic and phytosociological evaluation of an urban fragment of secondary Amazonian forest (8.12 ha) in Capitão Poço, Pará. Trees with DBH ≥ 3.2 cm were inventoried in five 15 m x 30 m plots. The floristic diversity, importance value, and diametric distribution were investigated. In the survey, 236 individuals from 23 species were recorded. The floristic diversity index was 2.58. The most important species were Cecropia obtusa Trécul and Lacistema pubescens Mart. The curve of distribution of individuals in diametric classes followed a negative exponential pattern (inverted J-shape), with most individuals in the smallest diametric classes. These results imply that the forest presents species typical of initial stages of succession. Thus, conservation actions are needed to increase the local diversity. In addition, the studied forest is essential for academic and environmental education activities. We recommend further floristic studies in the area in order to assess the dynamics of the species in the forest community.

Published: February 2024

Este ensaio visual apresenta uma sequência de imagens que compõe a narrativa de um vídeo em que me proponho a desenhar 56 linhas com a mão direita e 56 linhas com a mão esquerda em dois papéis, com um giz oleoso preto. Este trabalho fez parte de uma exposição individual em 2021 que se chamou exercícios de desenho, em que eu busquei apresentar questões do processo que revelam como o artista produz sua obra, além de situar o trabalho em uma indefinição entre processo e obra final, entre desenho e escrita. O ensaio visa apresentar, tanto em imagem como texto, essas questões sobre obra final e processo, e suas relações intrínsecas e quase tautológicas como define a autora Pamela Lee em referência ao desenho.
O direito e o avesso

Published: February 2024

Neste ensaio visual, reúnem-se imagens de trabalhos desenvolvidos na Oficina dos Fios (FAV/UFG). Ao longo do semestre letivo, são propostos exercícios de bordado livre, constituindo um espaço de experimentação e construção de aprendizagens compartilhadas. O projeto é orientado pela poética da solidariedade, segundo a qual a aesthesis e a poiesis são dimensões indissociáveis dos processos de sentir, pensar, fazer, e dizem respeito à experiência mais do que ao objeto, às relações estabelecidas ‘entre’ do que ao trabalho artístico propriamente dito enquanto produto. Nesse sentido, interessa tanto o lado avesso do bordado quanto o lado direito, reconhecendo as potencialidades nas relações entre alguma possível disciplina mais à mostra no lado direito e uma desordem travessa, no lado avesso.

A entrevista com o Professor Stephen Farthing aborda parte de sua trajetória como artista, pesquisador e professor em desenho, incluindo reflexões sobre as funções do desenho e seu processo de aprendizagem a partir de sua compreensão como conhecimento interdisciplinar, indo além do campo das artes. Farthing estabelece relações entre o desenho, a cartografia e a percepção de pertencimento em territórios mapeados pelo desenhar e pela necessidade de registrar o espaço, as dimensões, a história e as emoções. É também por meio do próprio desenho que o pesquisador investiga seus interesses em arte, como em seus estudos sobre a pintura. Os desenhos do artista instigam tanto as reflexões sobre a pintura quanto o próprio desenho como forma de reflexão e elaboração do pensamento. É nesse sentido que o pesquisador defende o ensino do desenho por uma abordagem ampla, entrelaçando áreas do conhecimento.artista instigam tanto as reflexões sobre a pintura quanto o próprio desenho como forma de reflexão e elaboração do pensamento.

PROTEIN S DEFICIENCY IN PREGNANCY: TO TREAT OR NOT TO TREAT. A CASE SERIES.
Authors: Mutiso S , Oindi F , Sequeira E
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Protein S deficiency is rare occurring in only about 3 out of 10,000 women. Thrombophilias,  whether inherited or acquired, have been associated with adverse reproductive outcomes such as recurrent  first trimester pregnancy losses, second and third trimester pregnancy losses, pre-eclampsia, fetal growth  restriction, placental abruption and venous thrombo-embolism. Treatment of protein S deficiency with  anticoagulation in pregnancy is usually individualized depending on patient prior history and presenting  symptoms. We report of 2 cases of women with protein S deficiency in pregnancy who had varied  management and conduct a literature review on the salient features of this condition in pregnancy. 

Cases: Two women, who were sisters and had a prenatal diagnosis of protein S deficiency, were managed  in their current pregnancies. One was on her fifth pregnancy having had adverse pregnancy outcomes and  the other in her first pregnancy. One of the lady was on anti-thrombotic agents prior to the pregnancy which  was continued during the pregnancy and the other was not started on anti-coagulation. They both had good  pregnancy outcomes in the documented pregnancies. 

Conclusion: Protein S deficiency in pregnancy is a rare medical condition which most clinicians may  not come across in their practice. The patients outlined had a prenatal diagnosis and hence presented no  diagnostic dilemma. However, thrombophilias should be suspected in women with recurrent adverse  pregnancy outcomes that have not been explained with other causes. The management of these patients  largely involve use of anti-thrombotic agents with multi-disciplinary care being of benefit in improving  outcomes.
Understanding the Impact of Cultural Dynamics on Millennial Entrepreneurs’ Work Practices
Authors: LICHY Jessica
Published: February 2024

This study explores how cultural context influences the work practices of millennial entrepreneurs in Russia, Latvia, Lithuania and Kazakhstan. Using theories of culture and planned behaviour, interviews were conducted to address the research question: “How does cultural context influence millennial entrepreneurs’ work practices in Russia, Latvia, Lithuania and Kazakhstan?” Findings reveal commonalities (e.g., communication style, trust-building, autonomy) and divergences (e.g., initiative, dialogue initiation, affiliations), indicating cultural values significantly affect Hofstede's framework country scores. Two cliques hindering entrepreneurship were identified. The study highlights that collectivism does not extend to work practices and communication, questioning Hofstede's framework relevance. The contribution lies in providing empirical data in an understudied context, serving as a benchmark for further research on cultural shifts in international management.
Enjeu de la transparence des prix auprès des consommateurs : une application aux produits issus du commerce équitable
Authors: ACHABOU Mohamed Akli , DEKHILI Sihem
Published: February 2024

This research focuses on a topic that has been little explored in the literature: the effect of price decomposition on consumer preference. The issue of transparency is particularly relevant in the case of sustainable products given the values of responsibility they convey. An empirical investigation, combining a dual qualitative and quantitative approach, was carried out on fair-trade chocolate. The results confirm that, while consumers are generally skeptical of high prices, breaking them down favors preference and thus tends to increase the acceptability of premium fair trade chocolates. In addition, a cluster analysis highlighted the role of prosocial values and experience with fair trade products in the preference for detailed price information.
Sous quelles conditions les interactions entre différents niveaux hiérarchiques au sein d’une HRO peuvent être sources de fiabilité ou au contraire peuvent perturber le processus de sensemaking et finalement la fiabilité de la prise de décision en situation CTI ?
Authors: LE BRIS Sophie , MARTIN Dominique Philippe
Published: February 2024

How are decisions made in contexts where action must be taken quickly and where the slightest error can call into question the integrity of an organisation and its members? What happens, on the other hand, if actors at different hierarchical levels do not quickly converge on an understanding of the situation and on the priorities to be defined? The analysis of the Fukushima Dai Ichi nuclear power plant disaster (Japan, 2011) reveals that the use of interactions between different hierarchical levels can lead to contrasting results in terms of reliability, contrasting with the proposals of the sensemaking approach (Weick, 1993). The study details different decision processes to improve the reliability of interactions.
The role of international accreditation agencies in business school practices’ institutionalization processes
Authors: KIT Anaïs
Published: February 2024

This paper examines the mechanisms underlying the institutionalization process of soft-regulations in the field of business schools, where international accreditation agencies are perceived as dictating the standards. The study examines the discursive and monitoring mechanisms used by the EFMD to promote EQUIS accreditation since its creation. Combining a critical discourse analysis of accreditation guidebooks and interviews with EQUIS regulators, our findings illustrate and build on the institutionalization curve proposed by Lawrence et al. (2001). Contributing to research about the convergence of business schools’ practices, we offer a perspective into the characteristics of institutional actors’ legitimacy strategies underpinning the institutionalization process.
Exploring the impact of dynamic capabilities on entrepreneurial orientation in healthcare organizations: Findings from symmetric and asymmetric modeling
Authors: BOUHALLEB Arafet , MESSEGHEM Karim
Published: February 2024

This work considers strategic flexibility (SF), structural flexibility (SX) and information acquisition (IA) as dynamic capabilities that promote entrepreneurial orientation in the health sector. Based on a quantitative survey carried out with managers of healthcare organizations in France, we demonstrate that IA positively impacts EO and that SF mediates the IA–EO relationship. The findings also indicate that SX moderates the effect of SF on EO. Our research has relevant theoretical implications because it extends the entrepreneurship literature through a novel focus on EO determinants in the healthcare sector. Practical implications for managers and decision-makers are also noted. The findings offer insights to healthcare care managers that will allow them to review the management method to fully involve and engage teams and to be more entrepreneurial.
Efficacy and Safety of High-power Short-duration Radio Frequency Ablation in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta-analysis of Prospective Study
Authors: Ma Guohua , Zhang Weijiang
Published: February 2024

Background: Radiofrequency ablation is a critical therapeutic method used in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). This study systematically evaluates the effectiveness and safety of two catheter radio frequency ablation approaches: high-power short-duration (HPSD) and traditional low-power long-duration (LPLD), in treating AF. Methods: Four databases were searched for prospective studies (eight cohort studies and three randomised controlled trials) that evaluated the effect of HPSD treatment on AF recurrence, occurrence rate of complications and procedural time in patients with AF from the establishment of the databases to March 2023. We utilised RevMan 5.20 and Stata 11.0 statistical software to conduct a meta-analysis, and publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and Egger's test. The effect estimates were synthesised as relative risks (RRs) or standardised mean differences (SMDs) along with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: A total of 536 relevant studies were retrieved, and 11 prospective studies were collected. The combined value of the estimated effect of HPSD versus LPLD treatment on AF recurrence in patients with AF had an RR of 0.59 (95% CI: 0.45–0.78; p < 0.001), the effects of HPSD versus LPLD treatment on procedural time in patients with AF had an SMD of –1.17 (95% CI: –1.56– –0.77; p < 0.001), and the effect of HPSD versus LPLD treatment on oesophageal thermal injury in patients with AF had an RR of 0.84 (95% CI: 0.22–3.28; p = 0.80). Notably, the estimated combined effects of HPSD and LPLD on other major complications (steam pop) in patients with AF had an RR of 0.57 (95% CI: 0.22–1.47; p = 0.24). Conclusions: HPSD is more effective than traditional LPLD and has a lower AF recurrence rate after surgery. Meanwhile, HPSD treatment can improve surgical efficiency and has a shorter procedural time than LPLD treatment.
