INTERAÇÃO HOMEM-ANIMAL: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA SOBRE OS BENEFÍCIOS TERAPÊUTICOS DA ZOOTERAPIA NA PSICOLOGIA
Authors: Barbosa de Macedo Daniela , Rosanova Clauber , Ferreira Rebouças Geovanne , Marcon Gomes Raquel
Published: August 2024

Nas últimas décadas tem se percebido o interesse científico pelo estudo da relação homem-animal e de seu potencial terapêutico. A psicologia, retrata a Zooterapia como uma prática multidisciplinar, englobando características que afetam a comunicação, a interação social e o comportamento das pessoas assistidas, visando a evolução de seus aspectos sociais, físicos, emocionais e cognitivos, produzindo efeitos positivos no meio em que é utilizada. Neste trabalho, objetivou-se verificar a aplicabilidade e os benefícios da interação homem-animal através dos conceitos e práticas da Zooterapia, investigando a utilização do animal como recurso terapêutico em atendimentos interdisciplinares associados à prática do psicólogo. O presente artigo foi desenvolvido a partir de pesquisa exploratória, utilizando-se o banco de dados virtuais: Google Acadêmico, com as palavras-chave: Zooterapia, Pet terapia e Psicologia. Após o levantamento, foram identificadas 935 publicações relacionadas ao tema, as quais foram filtradas e selecionadas pelo ano de publicação (2019-2023) e temática específica. A partir dos levantamentos descritos, foi possível concluir que os animais têm importante papel na evolução da sociedade, e que a Zooterapia proporcionou uma perspectiva inovadora no desenvolvimento e na melhoria da qualidade de vida humana, oferecendo experiências enriquecedoras e significativas para os envolvidos, promovendo seu desenvolvimento, além de estimular o respeito pelos animais e o cuidado com o meio ambiente. Quanto ao bem-estar animal, as opiniões foram divergentes, alguns autores alegam que na Zooterapia os animais estão expostos a condições não naturais e outros defendem uma visão antropocêntrica, onde o animal é visto como um simples objeto usado em prol do benefício humano. No que concerne ao papel do psicólogo e à sua presença em equipes interdisciplinares, é relevante pontuar que apesar de todos os estudos apresentarem os benefícios psicológicos da terapia com animais, são escassos os que delimitam e se aprofundam na atuação do profissional da psicologia, neste contexto.

THE SUPERVISION OF THE INTERNAL GOVERNMENT INTERNAL SUPERVISORY APPARATUS (APIP) ON THE ABUSE OF AUTHORITY IN GOVERNMENTAL POSITIONS IN JENEPONTO REGENCY
Authors: Mustaufiq Mustaufiq , Sultan Lomba , Ridwan Muh. Saleh , Hasan Hamzah
Published: August 2024

The objective of this research was to examine the oversight conducted by the Government's Internal Control Apparatus (APIP) regarding the misuse of official authority within the Jeneponto District Government. This research employs a qualitative methodology with a sociological research approach. The informants include the Auditor of the Jeneponto Regency Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus, the Head of the Sub-Division of Discipline Development, Welfare, and Facilitation of the ASN Profession at the Jeneponto Regency Personnel and Human Resources Development Agency (BKPSDM), the Secretary and Acting Head of Treasury at the Jeneponto Regency Financial and Asset Management Agency, the Head of Budget at the Jeneponto Regency Financial and Asset Management Agency, and the Regent of Jeneponto. Data collection methods encompass observation, interviews, and documentation. Subsequently, the techniques for processing and analyzing data are executed through three distinct phases: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The outcomes indicate that: 1) The supervision by the Government Internal Supervisory Apparatus (APIP) over the abuse of authority in the Jeneponto Regency Government is not fully optimizing APIP's role in supervising, guiding, evaluating, and monitoring the duties and functions of regional apparatuses in the execution of bureaucratic activities. This is evidenced by the presence of several civil servants who have been implicated and directly involved in legal proceedings due to exceeding their official authority. 2) There is a shortage of qualified auditors, with the current number of personnel being insufficient relative to the number of civil servants requiring oversight across 11 sub-districts and 113 villages.

Authors: Gyldenløve Mette , Rosenberg Jacob
Published: August 2024

Communicating with scientific journals is a central part of the publication process, yet sparsely covered in the medical literature. A cover letter to the editor(s) should always accompany new submissions, whereas response (or rebuttal) letters relate to revisions and replying to referees’ comments following peer review. This review describes the two types of letters, focusing on content, style, and structure, and provides helpful tips for handling challenging reviewer scenarios.
Ectopic parathyroid adenoma proved by diagnostic CT
Authors: Hounsgaard Marie Louise , Cramon Per Karkov , Jarløv Anne
Published: August 2024

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the most prevalent cause of hypercalcaemia, affecting 0.3% of the population. The only curative procedure is parathyroidectomy. Ectopic adenomas are challenging to localize and frequently result in persistent PHPT. This is a case report of a 29-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with PHPT prior to neck surgery and reoperated with bilateral neck exploration. However, the PHPT was not cured, until diagnostic CT with contrast had helped localizing a 1 cm ectopic parathyroid adenoma in the right horn of the thymus gland. The adenoma was then removed successfully.

Authors: Grønlund Emilie , Lund Lærke , Vilsbøll Tina , Hædersdal Sofie
Published: August 2024

This review summarises the current and possible future insulin treatment of type 2 diabetes. The type 2 diabetes treatment guidelines prioritise a person-centred approach with various options before insulin addressing cardiorenal protection. Long-acting daily insulin injections are warranted in severe hyperglycaemia or when glycaemic targets are not met. Insulin, when possible, should be combined with other agents to lower insulin dosage, weight gain and hypoglycaemia. Once-weekly insulin offers a promising treatment, reducing injection burden, enhancing treatment satisfaction, and lowering the risk of severe hypoglycaemia, potentially improving type 2 diabetes management.

Published: August 2024

This case report details a rare case of contraceptive implant migration in a young woman. The migration was discovered three years post-insertion during a routine replacement visit. Despite the absence of pulmonary symptoms, a CT scan revealed the implant in the inferior lobe of the right lung. The patient was referred for further evaluation, but immediate surgical removal was deferred. This case report highlights the importance of healthcare providers recognising migration as a rare complication during implantation and suggests self-examination as a potential preventive strategy.

Authors: Rasch Stine , Hansen Charlotte Toftmann , Abilgaard Niels
Published: August 2024

Current guidelines recommend screening with serum M-protein and serum-free light chain analysis (S-FLC) when an M-protein-related disorder is suspected. Many patients with multiple myeloma will be overlooked if only serum M-protein is measured. Despite this, the general practitioners in some areas of Denmark cannot order S-FLC. This review aims to disseminate knowledge of the S-FLC analysis, its applicability, and limitations in the diagnostic workup for suspected monoclonal gammopathies.

The use of clean water around the world continues to increase along with the increase in population and is increasing when the whole world is hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, research is carried out to treat greywater waste effectively in a simple and inexpensive way. The method used in this study is a single method, namely filtration (a mixture of soil and sand, activated char- coal and gravel), Lepironia articulata and a combination of the two methods, namely constructed wetland subsurface vertical flow. The results of this study showed a decrease in BOD and COD levels reaching 97%, 88% phosphate, 18% pH and 95% MBAS in the constructed wetland. This is due to the synergistic interaction between plants, media and microorganisms in removing pollutants effectively. This research needs to be developed further and explore the capabilities of each constructed wetland element, especially the Lepironia articulata.

Imagine prospectivă a unei contribuții muzeale la regenerarea urbană prin cultură
Authors: Constantinescu Sorin Mihai
Published: August 2024

The subject of this paper is still not enough explored, not only from the perspective of museum research but also from that of studies belonging to other fields that take into account the need to integrate culture in urban regeneration. Because this topic is current and relevant for the multitude of cultural and social forms in which the museum institution could become a lasting pillar, we believe that our attempt will allow us to sketch an integrative project from which to extract some useful considerations for future research. The conclusions that emerge from positioning the National Museum of Romanian Literature in Bucharest (MNLR), more precisely its cultural hub located in a disadvantaged area, in the epicenter of urban regeneration through culture of the adjacent area, will hopefully be compelling enough to support a cultural axis. Especially since the targeted area (although it has a rich local cultural heritage, which deserves to be capitalized and whose historical memory must be preserved) does not yet experience the long-awaited revival, MNLR - as already demonstrated - can become a crucial actor, together with partners from civil society, in drawing a new cultural axis in the Romanian capital. This could contribute to the transformation of a physically degraded area with precarious living conditions into an engine for integrating culture into the daily concerns of as many fellow citizens as possible, and not only those belonging to the local community. After all, any attempt to achieve a prospective approach focused on the museum institution only validates the generous and mobilizing slogan of ICOM: “Museums have no borders, they have a network”.

Authors: Tellys Corliana  , Mustika Sri
Published: August 2024

Dua tahun lebih pandemi Covid-19 memporakporandakan kehidupan manusia di hampir seluruh negara. Interaksi antarmanusia dibatasi, karena diterapkannya kebijakan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar, bahkan lockdown di hampir semua negara. Di Indonesia, salah satu pihak yang terdampak kebijakan PSBB adalah para pelaku UMKM Batik Trusmi, Cirebon. Batik Trusmi yang menjadi ikon kota Cirebon benar-benar mati suri selama pandemi. Penurunan omzetnya mencapai 80-100%. Meskipun ada sebagian yang masih berhasil bertahan dengan memanfaatkan media baru sebagai strategi pemasran UMKM Batik Trusmi selama pandemi Covid-19 maupun sesudahnya. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi, wawancara mendalam dan studi pustaka. Peneliti mengkategorikan pelaku UMKM dalam dua kategori: yang bermodal besar dan bermodal menengah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua pelaku UMKM batik hampir semua menggunakan media baru sebagai strategi pemasaran batiknya selama masa pandemi COVID-19 maupun sesudahnya. Bedanya, pemilik modal besar mempromosikan batiknya melalui media baru, seperti Instagram dan Whatsapp Story dan mempersiapkan tampilan produknya dengan perencanaan matang. Mereka menggunakan jasa peragawati, penata gaya, dan fotografer profesional. Dengan demikian tampilan produknya menjadi tampak lebih elegan dan memikat. Mereka juga memanfaatkan toko daring, seperti Shopee dan Tokopedia (Toped) untuk memasarkan produknya, sehingga dapat menjangkau khalayak yang lebih luas. Pelaku UMKM bermodal sedang juga menggunakan media baru, seperti Facebook, Instagram, dan Whatsapp, namun tampilan produk batiknya apa adanya, tanpa direncanakan secara profesional agar memikat mata. Melalui Whatsapp Group mereka menawarkan produknya kepada para pelanggan yang sudah pernah menjadi konsumenny.

ANALYSIS OF BUILDING MATERIALS FOR SIMPLE BUILDING FLOOR COVERINGS
Authors: Suharry  , Nurhasan syah
Published: August 2024

This study aims to analyze the variation of building materials used as floor coverings in simple buildings. Through a quantitative approach, this study examined three types of floor covering materials that are often used: ceramic, vinyl, and cement. The sample was taken from five simple buildings in urban areas and five in rural areas. The variables assessed include cost, durability, comfort, and ease of installation. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to compare the effectiveness of each material. The results showed that ceramics, although more expensive, offered better durability and aesthetics, while vinyl stood out for its comfort and ease of installation. Cement floor coverings, meanwhile, are an economical option but lack in durability and comfort. The study recommends the use of ceramics for high-traffic areas and vinyl for areas that require comfort at a lower cost. This finding is expected to provide guidance for builders and homeowners in choosing floor covering materials that suit their needs and economic conditions.

Published: August 2024

Several studies on the Niger Delta have focused on the effects of oil production on the environment and conflicts associated with the mismanagement of oil revenue. However, inadequate attention has been given to a positive outcome of the conflict: the link between conflict in the region and the development of indigenous innovative strategies for petroleum refining. This briefing therefore utilises primary and secondary data to examine how conflicts over the exploitation and management of the benefits from natural resources have contributed to innovation.
WHO HOLDS THE POWER IN DIGITAL PARTIES? THE CASE OF THE CZECH PIRATE PARTY
Authors: MALÝ MICHAL ,   Institute of Political Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University, Czech Republic
Published: August 2024

Digital platforms play a dominant role in shaping (part of) the public sphere and are increasingly being adopted by political parties. These platforms connect people to various services, such as taxis and food delivery, by utilizing social media and Big Data to personalize their offerings. Political parties have embraced a similar approach, leading to the digitalization of political movements in two distinct forms: the gradual adaptation of existing parties, and the emergence of new (digital) parties. Most existing research on digital parties has primarily focused on movements in Western Europe, such as the Spanish Podemos, the Italian Five Star Movement, and the German Pirate Party. Shifting the focus to Eastern Europe and examining the case of the Czech Republic provides a unique opportunity. This paper specifically delves into the Czech Pirate Party, offering a comprehensive analysis of its intra-party democracy and power relations within the digital landscape. The analysis draws upon seven interviews conducted with party members, and an examination of party documents and websites. By addressing the question of who wields power in Czech Pirate Party, this study aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse surrounding digital parties.
Tangled Threads: World History through a Portuguese Lens
Authors: Brockey Liam M.
Published: August 2024

Abstract: Using the example of the headquarters of the Society of Jesus in Lisbon during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, this article presents a vision of world history as seen from the perspective of the Portuguese empire. It evokes the air of “pious agitation” that once filled the historic church of São Roque, describing the figures who fill the space in paintings, tombs, sculptures, or in memory alone. Through the prism of the Portuguese Jesuits, it shows that notions of globalization and cosmopolitanism had roots that stretched back over at least five hundred years to the heyday of the Iberian Expansion.
Community-Based Apiculture Enterprise: Rapid Appraisal in the Selected Municipalities in Lanao del Norte, Philippines
Authors: Bondot George , Masiong Pablo , Antolin Merlito
Published: August 2024

Beekeeping projects fail due to several factors, including insufficient food supply (nectar and pollen) and the presence of pests and diseases, among others. Hence, rapid appraisal of bee pasture areas is vital for the success of an apiary establishment. The study aimed to rapidly assess the communities’ potential for apiculture enterprise, specifically in the municipalities of Tubod, Lala, and Sapad, Lanao del Norte, Philippines. Gathered data and information were recorded through on-site ocular inspection and interviews with some community folks using the rapid appraisal instrument. Results revealed that the communities in the municipalities of Tubod (44.78) and Sapad (43.80) were appraised to be favorable for apiculture enterprise, while the communities in the municipality of Lala (41.80) were appraised neutral for apiculture enterprise. The appraised resource factor parameters favorable for apiculture were; vegetation for bee foraging, the area available for bee foraging, road accessibility, transportation services, electricity service, and irrigation facilities. Other factors were neutral, with a few appraised as less favorable but could easily be made favorable with appropriate management intervention. The importance of rapid appraisal results of the study served as baseline information in providing timely, relevant, and actionable information that supports effective decision-making and response efforts in future beekeeping project establishment.
Synergistic roles of articulation, intellectual passion, conviviality and commitment in determining the citizens’ awareness and initiatives for sustainable watershed resources management
Authors: Aban Jomar , Fajardo Weenalei , Omokaro Godspower Oke
Published: August 2024

To attain high quality watershed, citizens or stakeholders should work harmoniously with the researchers and the local government units. There should be a pleasant relationship among the three which can only be attained if there is intellectual passion among the three concerned characters. This watershed management research has employed a combined socio-scientific and philosophical research design. The researchers as scientists are determined to be actively involved in sharing his intellectual passion to attain greater objectivity and rationality in sustaining watershed resources. This study found that people's jobs and social status significantly influenced their awareness and actions regarding watershed conservation. Students, local government officials, and local residents have only a moderate understanding of how industrialization impacts watershed resources. Surprisingly, local government officials are unaware of how siltation affects the quality and biodiversity of these resources. Additionally, students show little initiative in attending watershed conservation seminars, likely due to the high cost of scientific conferences, which they may find financially challenging. Through the inculcation of Polanyi’s philosophical concepts, the researchers highly recommend the conduct of more hands-on community outreach activities regarding watershed conservation.
Introducing Microgreens to Pinggang Pinoy: Prospects in Cultivation, Marketability, and Indigenous Crops Utilization
Authors: Barlongo Arvin Joshua , Mercado Maria Fatima
Published: August 2024

Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) addresses modern farming challenges, such as climate change, diminishing arable land, rising costs, and pest issues, thus, it becomes vital to meet global food demand. Microgreens, a subset of CEA in the commercial scale, have surged in popularity due to their rapid growth, typically maturing in 7 to 21 days, and their nutritional value, rich in phytochemicals, vitamins, and antioxidants, turning them into superfoods. This review explores the potential of microgreens in the Philippines, emphasizing their integration into the Filipino Food Plate as well as promotion of indigenous vegetables and legumes such as pansit-pansitan, tapilan, bataw, patani, samsamping, sigarilyas, kadios, paayap, saluyot, ulasiman, alugbati, and talinum. This initiative will support local farmers in diversifying crops and engaging in the growing microgreen market. The review calls for action in the Philippines to adopt microgreen production, stimulate innovation, and bolster local agriculture and communities. It underscores the importance of indigenous crops and encourages researchers, entrepreneurs, and farmers to participate in the microgreen movement.
In Defense of the Science of the Philosophical Solution
Authors: Laruelle François
Published: August 2024

The article discusses the way philosophy tries to deal with science by co-opting it, designating it as its own completion and merging with the latter: the Philosophical Solution. By the Philosophical Decision, Laruelle understands some absolute constructive principle that remains unchanged in any of its (historical and quasi-transcendental modulations. Accordingly, Laruelle distinguishes four forms of philosophical practices, two of which betray the immanence of science to philosophy: these are (1) the reduction of philosophy to its history and (2) the critique of metaphysics in any of its variants (and its reduction, therefore, to positive — in the sense of validity — philosophy); and two other practices that assert vise versa the immanence of science to «philosophical solution»: 1) the unfolding of philosophical ideas through the limited input of scientific operations (mathematical, chemical, etc); 2) the supposition of science as the unfolding of a pure (but philosophical same) idea, an infinite telos. The proposal that Laruelle puts forward in spite of this unsatisfactory scheme is to suspend the smooth operation of such a solution. It is necessary, Laruelle argues, «to place philosophy in a school of science, <...> so that philosophy will let itself be thought through it» (without abandoning its legitimate desire to be a rigorous science). By «school of science» is meant a way of dealing with the Real-One, where this latter is postulated axiomatically by science and does not require its justification by philosophy, while science itself can be conceived as allowing the Philosophical Solution as one of its objects. It is necessary to destroy, in Laruelle's thought, the recursiveness of the Philosophical Solution by suspending it — not by modeling a new solution, as happens in philosophical self-criticism — which is what the science of the Philosophical Solution is devoted to.

The Quran teaches principles to uphold unity, brotherhood, equality and freedom in society. Democracy, although controversial among Muslim intellectuals, values human rights, participation in decision-making, and equality under the law. In Indonesia, democracy is considered a strong basis for society, where the government must obtain the consent of the majority and ensure that the rights of minorities are respected. These principles should be reflected in a form of state that is in line with the values of the majority of its people and provides space for dissent. The purpose of this study is to find out what democracy is in Islam and how democracy is in the perspective of Tafsir Al-Qurthubi and Tafsir Al-Mishbah. The method used in this research is that this research uses descriptive method and also uses maudhu'i interpretation method. The results of this study state that democracy in Islam is taken from Q.S Ali Imran verse 159. In the verse mentioned a fragment of a word also called shu'ara or deliberation which then the word has experienced a development of meaning. The original meaning is bees that drink honey and its meaning after experiencing expansion becomes "everything that can be taken and issued", namely opinions. In the book of Tafsir Al-Qurthubi, the initial part of this verse is interpreted that the Prophet was gentle with those who turned away at the battle of Uhud and was not harsh with them, so Allah explained that he could do that because of His guidance to him. In the book of Tafsir Al-Mishbah, the word syawirhum comes from the word syawara which is where the initial meaning of the word is "removing honey from the beehive". Then over time this meaning developed so that it included everything that could be taken and issued (including opinions).

Este artigo narra uma experiência inovadora conduzida por Maiquele Santos, Stéphane Nascimento, Suiane Silva e pelo professor Henrique Santiago, no Colégio Estadual Raimundo de Almeida Gouvêia. Este trabalho se insere no âmbito do Programa de Apoio a Projetos e Iniciação Científica em Matemática (PAPIC), Dra. Eliza Maria Ferreira Veras da Silva, da Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), com apoio da fundação Serrapilheira, estendendo-se de março de 2023 a março de 2024. Centrado no desenvolvimento de atividades matemáticas que entrelaçam os jogos africanos à rica história e cultura dos países africanos, o projeto representou uma ponte entre o ensino de matemática e a valorização da diversidade cultural, em alinhamento com a Lei nº 10.639/03. A equipe enfrentou uma série de desafios e obstáculos ao longo do projeto. Este artigo não apenas compartilha essas dificuldades, mas também enfatiza as valiosas lições aprendidas durante o processo, que foram cruciais para o êxito da iniciativa. Através desta narrativa, aspiramos inspirar outros educadores e profissionais a navegarem pelos desafios de seus projetos, com uma visão renovada sobre a importância de incorporar perspectivas educativas inclusivas e representativas, especialmente no ensino de matemática. Ao refletir sobre nossa jornada, evidenciamos a potencialidade da Lei nº 10.639/03 como um instrumento de transformação educacional, capaz de fomentar um ambiente de aprendizado que reconhece e celebra a contribuição africana para a matemática e, por extensão, para a ciência global.
