Enhancing milk safety in the USA: A holistic framework for controlling aflatoxin M1 and pathogenic c in dairy supply chains
Authors: Olufemi Olatoye I , Ayeni Olagoke , Komolafe Olasumbo Esther Olagoke-
Published: January 2025

Milk safety is a critical public health concern in the United States due to the potential presence of aflatoxin M1 and pathogenic microorganisms, such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Listeria monocytogenes. These contaminants pose severe health risks, including carcinogenic effects and foodborne illnesses, while threatening consumer confidence and economic stability in the dairy industry. This review proposes a holistic approach for controlling aflatoxin M1 and microbial hazards in dairy supply chains through integrated preventive, monitoring, and intervention strategies. The framework emphasizes enhanced feed quality management to mitigate aflatoxin B1 contamination at the source, coupled with advanced detection technologies, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for rapid and accurate testing. Microbial risks are addressed through modern decontamination techniques such as ultraviolet (UV-C) light, ozonation, and high-pressure processing (HPP). Additionally, blockchain-enabled traceability systems and Internet of Things (IoT)-based real-time monitoring are proposed to ensure transparency and compliance throughout production, processing, and distribution. These also highlights the role of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) systems and the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) in aligning practices with regulatory standards. We advocate for workforce training, capacity building, and consumer awareness programs to reinforce safety measures at multiple levels. By integrating cutting-edge technologies with existing best practices, this framework aims to modernize dairy supply chains, enhance regulatory compliance, and reduce contamination risks. The review concludes with recommendations for future research into AI-driven predictive models and adaptive safety systems to further strengthen milk safety. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach ensures sustainable dairy production, protects public health, and promotes consumer confidence in the U.S. milk supply.

Published: January 2025

In general, this research aims to analyze the implementation of the Sustainable Food Agricultural Land (LP2B) policy in Parigi Moutong Regency. This research uses a qualitative method, namely a method prepared based on certain rules in a real context, which aims to systematically describe and explain accurately the Sustainable Food Agricultural Land Protection Policy (LP2B). The theory used is the implementation of Edward III's policies which includes four main aspects: communication, resources, disposition and bureaucratic structure.
The research results show that the implementation of the LP2B policy faces various significant obstacles. In the communication aspect, the transmission of policy information is uneven, information clarity is low, and inconsistencies in delivery create confusion among farmers. In terms of resources, limited authority, lack of number and capacity of agricultural instructors, minimal budget allocation, and lack of irrigation and road infrastructure are the main obstacles. In the disposition aspect, the weak commitment of policy implementers and the absence of firm sanctions lead to policy violations. Meanwhile, aspects of the bureaucratic structure show low efficiency, fragmentation of responsibilities, and a lack of clear standard operating procedures (SOP). To overcome these problems, this research recommends increasing communication with approaches that are relevant for farmers, strengthening resources in the form of authority, extension capacity, budget allocation and infrastructure. Apart from that, increasing government commitment through strict supervision and strict sanctions, as well as simplifying bureaucratic structures and increasing coordination between agencies are also very necessary. With these improvements, it is hoped that the implementation of the LP2B policy can run more effectively, achieve the main objectives, and provide real benefits for the people of Parigi Moutong Regency.

Published: January 2025

A ansiedade e a depressão, frequentemente denominadas síndromes mistas, são transtornos mentais de alta prevalência global, com significativo impacto na qualidade de vida e na funcionalidade dos indivíduos, especialmente jovens adultos. Este estudo tem como objetivo identificar intervenções de enfermagem eficazes no cuidado a pacientes com essas condições, utilizando teorias de enfermagem e o Projeto Terapêutico Singular (PTS) como ferramentas centrais. Foi realizada uma revisão narrativa de literatura com base em artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos nas bases de dados LILACS, SciELO, MEDLINE e BDENF. Os resultados evidenciam que estratégias de cuidado baseadas nas teorias de Dorothea Orem, Hildegard Peplau e Wanda Horta são fundamentais para a promoção do autocuidado, fortalecimento das relações interpessoais e atendimento integral às necessidades humanas básicas. As barreiras identificadas incluem escassez de profissionais qualificados, recursos limitados e lacunas no treinamento contínuo, destacando a necessidade de aprimoramento das práticas e políticas públicas de saúde mental. Conclui-se que intervenções personalizadas, fundamentadas em evidências e aplicadas de forma interdisciplinar, são indispensáveis para melhorar a qualidade de vida e a saúde mental de jovens adultos com síndromes mistas.
Tiempo, trabajo y bienestar: relato de un conflicto cotidiano
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Moreno Colom Sara
Published: January 2025

El control del tiempo ha sido un símbolo de poder a lo largo de la historia
de la humanidad ocupando el centro de muchos conflictos sociales. No es
baladí que durante la Revolución Francesa se formulase una propuesta de
calendario republicano o que durante la Revolución Industrial los principales
movimientos obreros tuvieran como hito la reducción de la jornada laboral1.
Esta perspectiva histórica permite recordar que la organización social del
tiempo es un viejo problema que emerge en la sociedad contemporánea con
nuevos conflictos que buscan nuevas soluciones. Las razones de esta repetida
emergencia deben buscarse en las transformaciones sociales que experimenta
la sociedad occidental a lo largo de las últimas décadas del siglo XX. Estas
transformaciones se deben, por un lado, a los cambios socioeconómicos
que suceden a la crisis de la ocupación de los años 70 y, por otro lado, a los
cambios sociodemográficos que supone la mayor presencia femenina en el
mercado de trabajo, el envejecimiento de la población y la ausencia masculina
en el ámbito doméstico. La flexibilidad del mercado de trabajo y la doble
presencia femenina son algunas de las consecuencias que se suceden a estos
cambios que, a su vez, ponen en cuestión la organización industrial del tiempo.
Con el fin de dar respuesta a las necesidades sociales emergentes en el
nuevo contexto, surge la idea de revisar el modelo temporal vigente desde el
inicio de la industrialización.

Published: January 2025

En este capítulo retomaremos el análisis de los rendimientos del sistema electoral en las convocatorias al Congreso celebradas desde 1977 hasta 2016, tanto en el conjunto nacional como en las circunscripciones. Con esta finalidad, consideraremos sus consecuencias mecánicas sobre el grado de proporcionalidad y la sobrerrepresentación de los partidos mayoritarios para favorecer la gobernabilidad, así como sus efectos «distantes» sobre la fragmentación del sistema de partidos. Por lo que se refiere a la desproporcionalidad y fragmentación del sistema de partidos, esta cuestión ha sido amplio objeto de estudio en la investigación electoral española (Pallarés, 1981; Montabes, 1998; Penadés, 1999; Lago y Lago, 2000; Montero y Riera, 2009; Penadés y Santiuste, 2013). No obstante, en este trabajo revisaremos anteriores tipologías. Del mismo modo, la inclusión en el análisis de las convocatorias de 2015 y de 2016 permite actualizar y completar investigaciones anteriores sobre las consecuencias del sistema electoral sobre el grado de proporcionalidad en los distintos distritos. Y finalmente, y a diferencia de anteriores trabajos, en este capítulo se analizan los efectos del sistema electoral sobre la fragmentación del sistema de partidos a nivel de distrito desde una perspectiva longitudinal. En este sentido, la investigación electoral, tanto española como comparada, no ha realizado un análisis empírico en profundidad del rendimiento de los sistemas electorales a lo largo del tiempo (Riera, 2015).

Authors: Fortin Bernard , Ndoutoumou Justin , Gbeto Josette , Laberge Maude
Published: January 2025

Malgré un système de santé promettant un accès universel et gratuit, on observe des inégalités importantes dans la répartition géographique des omnipraticiens du Québec. Ne pas avoir accès à des soins appropriés en temps opportun peut engendrer des problèmes de santé sévères, en particulier chez les personnes vulnérables. Face à un tel enjeu, le gouvernement du Québec a introduit dès 1975 diverses mesures incitatives dans le but d’influencer le choix du lieu de pratique des omnipraticiens. Une étude CIRANO (Fortin et al., 2025) montre que les mesures mises en place pour attirer les médecins de famille hors de Montréal et en région semblent avoir eu l’effet escompté. Ceci est d’autant plus important que les personnes vivant dans les régions éloignées ou isolées ont souvent des besoins de soins de santé plus élevés et vivent plus loin des centres hospitaliers qu’ailleurs.

Published: January 2025

In the present digital age, information technology has revolutionized how businesses and institutions conduct their operations, including managing documents and archives. This condition also pertains to the Indonesian Mosque Council, which is crucial in coordinating and overseeing religious activities at multiple mosques throughout Indonesia. A vital element of operating it is the management of archiving and correspondence. This study aims to create an online letter storage system for the Indonesian Mosque Council in the Baleendah District. The system will aid the Indonesian Mosque Council in virtually and systematically organizing letters and associated documentation. The study was conducted using the development system methods approach. The system development method involved building a prototype by first exploring the requirements for constructing the system, planning the development of the prototype, and subsequently executing the development and evaluation of the online letter storage system prototype. The online letter storage system prototype was prepared for the Indonesian Mosque Council and is currently being tested and evaluated for its usability. This system includes recording incoming and outgoing mail, conducting document searches, ensuring secure storage, managing access permissions, and generating reports to enhance productivity and efficiency in preserving correspondence and streamlining the information retrieval procedure. The built system includes specific features like logging mail, conducting searches, ensuring secure storage, managing access permits, and generating customized reports to cater to the operational needs of the Indonesian Mosque Council. However, it is limited in that it cannot be applied to different objects due to varying user requirements. The study's constraint is that the web-based letter filing system was only evaluated and implemented at the Indonesian Mosque Council in Baleendah District. Therefore, the system's findings and efficacy cannot be generally applied to other sub-districts or religious organizations in Indonesia with different requirements and circumstances.

Published: January 2025

The advent of information technology and the internet has had a beneficial influence on education, including primary school. One area that is impacted is the re-registration process for prospective new students. This process is executed manually by completing written forms, consuming time and human resources and elevating the possibility of data inaccuracies. This study aims to develop a web-based application utilizing the Laravel framework to expedite and streamline the re-registration procedure for incoming students. This qualitative study adopts a system design approach. The system design will address the problem from an object-oriented perspective and utilize the PHP programming language, MySQL as the database processor, and the Laravel Framework as the primary technology. The objective is to develop a highly efficient re-registration application using the Laravel framework, which will be evaluated by testing various possible workloads. The system design results, along with various workload evaluations, indicate improved efficiency and accuracy in managing re-registration data and streamlining the process of admitting new students. A web-based re-registration application using the Laravel framework has been developed to streamline the manual re-registration process in elementary schools. The findings contribute to developing the Laravel framework, which programming developers widely use. By utilizing the Laravel framework, this solution provides a modern and organized approach to addressing administrative challenges in elementary education. The study's constraint is that the execution and evaluation of the web-based re-registration application using the Laravel framework were limited to a single educational institution. This research limits the understanding of how the program will perform in different usage scenarios, including challenges related to scalability, internet connectivity fluctuations, and variations in user capabilities at other educational institutions with different technological resources and infrastructure.
Successful recognition of emergency conditions of primary adrenal insufficiency in a nine-month-old girl: A case report from a tertiary hospital in Indonesia
Authors: Dewi Karina Pharamita , Perwitasari Rayi Kurnia , Hisbiyah Yuni , Faizi Muhammad , Rochmah Nur
Published: January 2025

Diagnosis of Adrenal Insufficiency (AI) in children is often challenging due to the relatively low incidence and non-specific presentation, so misdiagnosis often occurs, especially in emergency settings. Prompt recognition and management are crucial to reducing the morbidity and mortality linked to this potentially fatal illness, emphasizing the importance of heightened awareness among healthcare professionals. A 9-month-old girl was brought to the ER with a chief complaint of excessive vomiting. The girl presented with hyperpigmentation, leading to a suspicion of primary adrenal insufficiency secondary to Addison’s disease. Laboratory findings revealed electrolyte imbalances (hyperkalemia and hyponatremia) and metabolic acidosis due to acute kidney injury secondary to fluid loss, prompting intravenous fluid therapy and hydrocortisone administration. Following hospitalization and comprehensive evaluation, including tuberculosis screening and abdominal ultrasound, the patient showed clinical improvement and was discharged with hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone as maintenance therapy. Regular follow-ups in the endocrinology clinic ensured continued management and adjustment of medication doses to maintain stability. Adrenal insufficiency may present with a spectrum of symptoms, including gastrointestinal complaints, and its diagnosis hinges on identifying specific hormone deficiencies. Primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) often associated with mineralocorticoid deficiency, manifests with signs such as hypotension and electrolyte abnormalities, necessitating urgent evaluation and treatment.

Published: January 2025

This study investigated the influence of self-confidence on Saudi primary students' English vocabulary ability through differentiated instruction strategies. The study took place in Al Jouf province during the 2023-2024 school year, with data collected through a survey questionnaire. The sample consisted of 60 primary school students. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyze the data. The results revealed a significant relationship between self-confidence, differentiated instruction strategies, and English vocabulary ability. Specifically, differentiated instruction strategies were found to mediate the relationship between self-confidence and vocabulary ability. Higher self-confidence levels encouraged students to adopt these strategies, thereby enhancing their vocabulary skills. Based on these findings, the study recommends that teachers implement differentiated instruction strategies, such as flexible grouping, collaborative learning, and brainstorming, to increase student engagement and interest in learning. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of fostering self-confidence in students, in alignment with self-efficacy theory, to support their vocabulary learning and academic growth.

Published: January 2025

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, with many ocular severe complications. This cross-sectional study determined adherence to proper eye care recommendations and regular eye examinations among local diabetic patients and factors associated with non-adherence. Methods: This cross-sectional survey assed the knowledge, attitude, and practices of 200 type I and II diabetic patients. The frequency of patients' regular eye examinations, good knowledge of diabetic eye disease, and measures of the association of periodic eye examination with different variables were calculated. Results: There were 116 (58%) males and 84 (42%) females (mean age=55.28 years, SD=13.928 years). The majority belonged to the lower socioeconomic group with little education. 114 (57%) had never had any eye examination. 107 were unaware of the importance of eye examination. Only 35 (17.5%) had good knowledge, and 146 (73%) patients had poor attitudes towards diabetes. Periodic eye examination was significantly associated with occupation, area of residence, and overall knowledge of diabetic eye complications. In contrast, it had no significant association with gender, type of diabetes, presence of eye symptoms, or presence of other diabetes complications. Conclusion: The knowledge of our local population about diabetic eye disease is very deficient. An extensive campaign of educating diabetic patients about ocular complications is necessary to address this.

Les manifestations des modalités d’énoncé dans les productions écrites et orales des apprenants congolais
Authors: LOUSSAKOUMOUNOU Alain Fernand Raoul
Published: January 2025

This paper gives a theoritical aspect on the notion of utterance modalities. By relying on the written and oral corpora of the learners, it seeks to highlight the way whose the student constructs himself as a subject-speaker in the situation of enunciation through the expression of the modalities of utterance. It has therefore been revealed that the modes of utterance are either linguistically marked or pragmatically inferred. Also, they are conveyed by the predicative grammatical classes, in the case: the noun, the adjective, the adverb, the verb. This study makes it possible to reassess the place of the learner in a classroom situation, in the sense that it presents him as an enunciator who can have an opinion about the course or a given problem and it is part of the dynamics of socioconstructivism, an approach advocated by the situational pedagogic approach.
RHETORICAL FIGURES IN CHINUA ACHEBE’S THINGS FALL APART
Authors: Bokotiabato Mokogna Zéphirin
Published: January 2025

The present article studies the aspects of rhetorical figures in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. In fact, his novel draws a real picture of Ibo traditional culture in conflict with Western ideas. Through it, readers can learn of the contentment derived from rural life and the unity prevailing in the clan before the advent of the Europeans’ practices which seem to triumph. However, what matters in this study, is Achebe’s literary talent. The matter lies on the way Achebe uses the language for the portrayal of the conflict between the Ibo traditional culture and the Westerner one, as the history of Nigeria in resorting to the use of rhetorical figures in his fiction. Resultingly, thanks to the sociological and linguistical approaches, it results that the success of Achebe’s literary talent is rooted both in Ibo experience on the one hand and in the experience from the West on the other hand. He succeeds for example, in explaining Ibo proverbs in using the English language so as to defend his culture.
Նարեկավանքում ընդօրինակված ձեռագրեր/MANUSCRIPTS WRITTEN IN NAREK MONASTERY
Authors: TUMANYAN LUSINE
Published: January 2025

This article is about manuscripts written in Narek monastery (Narekavank). There aren't many of them. The earliest of them is the Gospel, written in 1069 (Matenadaran, ms. 10434). It was copied by scribe Hovhannes at the request of archimandrite Anania Varagatsi. The original from which it was copied was believed to have been written by Mesrop Mashtots and belonged to the abbot Anania Narekatsi. On the first page there is an image of a large, equal-armed and blooming cross.
Of course, in the 11th century and in the following centuries, manuscripts were copied in the monastery that have not survived to us. In 1420, the monk Stepanos Izit copied the Gospel in Narekavank (Matenadaran, ms. 4826). This manuscript is richly illustrated, but the name of the miniaturist is not written.
There is evidence about four manuscripts written in Narekavank in the 15th-16th centuries, are lost now. Two manuscripts are Gospels copied by Stepanos in 1415 and in 1419. The other is The Book of Sermons of Grigor Tatevatsi, copied by Astvatsatur in 1417, and the fourth is the Gospel copied by bishop Grigor in 1574. The last known manuscript, written in the village of Narek, is A Household Doctor written by Karapet Kocharyants in 1905 (Matenadaran, ms 6867). Thus, few manuscripts are known from Narekavank. However, the manuscripts of 1069 and 1420 years testify to the high development of writing and miniature arts in this monastery.

In this work, a model was developed for determining the critical load of a two-layer ceramic-metal composite under three-point loading based on the analysis of the local influence of distributed defects on the stress field. The stressed state is defined as the solution of a boundary value problem for a solid. The subject of study was a two-layer ceramic-metal composite based on TiB/Ti obtained by free SHS (self-propagating high-temperature synthesis) compression. A method was developed for determining the statistical distribution of defects within a specimen based on metallographic cross-sectional analysis. The critical load was determined by the defect size probability density found from the experimental data for the composites. The cases of flat and sinusoidal interfaces between the layers were considered. A digital model of a two-layer beam deformed under three-point loading was built in Abaqus finite element software, which was used for numerical simulation of the stress field. Based on the numerical results, the stress field was corrected for the sinusoidal interface. The influence of the corrected stress field on the specimen strength was analyzed when the defect distribution pattern was similar to that in the composite with the flat interface. It was shown that the sinusoidal shape of the interface had no effect on the specimen strength, provided that the period and amplitude of deviation from the rectilinear shape were small relative to the linear size of the specimen.

Superplastic deformation is ensured by grain boundary sliding (GBS), which is accommodated by dislocation and diffusional creep. The contributions of these mechanisms depend on the microstructural parameters of alloys and temperature-strain rate conditions of deformation. In this work, the deformation behavior, grain structure parameters, and the contributions of the superplastic deformation mechanisms at the temperature 0.87Zm and constant strain rate 1 x 10-2 s-1 were compared between the rolled Al-5Mg-0.9Fe-0.83Ni-0.14Zr-0.08Sc-0.72Zn alloy with the initial nonrecrystallized grain structure and the recrystallized one treated by multidirectional isothermal forging (MDF). The strain rate sensitivity coefficient was ~0.5, and the elongation reached 400-520% under the specified conditions. Superplastic deformation of the rolled alloy under uniaxial tension resulted in dynamic recrystallization and strain weakening. In the MDF-fabricated alloy, deformation was accompanied by strain hardening due to grain growth. Regardless of the treatment mode, at the stage of steady-state flow, the alloy shows similar structural parameters and similar contribution ratios of the acting deformation mechanisms, which were determined from structural evolution with surface markers. The contribution of grain boundary sliding was ~40%, and that of intragranular dislocation slip/creep was ~20%. The remaining strain localized near transverse grain boundaries with the formation of striated zones, which were associated with grain boundary sliding and diffusion creep.

Os relacionamentos afetivos passaram por transformações significativas ao longo do último século, marcados por mudanças sociais, culturais e subjetivas que reconfiguram os vínculos amorosos. O casamento tornou-se mais tardio e, em muitos casos, transitório; a virgindade perdeu a centralidade nos rituais afetivos e o sexo adquiriu maior desprendimento, sendo vivenciado sem compromisso. A decisão de ter filhos deixou de ser uma obrigatoriedade, tornando-se uma escolha individual. Na contemporaneidade, há uma valorização das experiências imediatas e da busca por sensações. Apesar dessas transformações, a família permanece como estrutura essencial para a socialização e construção dos vínculos afetivos, desempenhando um papel determinante na formação emocional. A identificação com os modelos familiares — tanto ativa quanto passiva — exerce influência direta na escolha de parceiros afetivo-sexuais. As escolhas modernas refletem uma mescla de heranças familiares e ideais próprios de uma sociedade mais pluralista, onde normas rígidas foram substituídas por possibilidades mais flexíveis. A escolha do parceiro envolve fatores conscientes e inconscientes, sendo influenciada pela bagagem emocional e sociocultural de cada indivíduo. Modelos de amor aprendidos na família de origem, dinâmicas de afeto e sexualidade, bem como expectativas em torno de relacionamentos, atuam como elementos estruturantes desse processo. A percepção do amor e das formas de conexão é moldada por essas interações, contribuindo para a construção de relações afetivas que carregam a singularidade de cada trajetória pessoal. A análise da escolha de parceiros afetivos revela a importância de compreender os processos envolvidos nas carências afetivas.

This study set out to evaluate how effective the unexplored macrofungi Langermannia bicolor is in providing a biomolecular repertoire capable of optimizing the action of antibacterials available on the market. Extract and fractions (obtained by fractionation with acetone) of L. bicolor were quantified for the presence of proteases and hemagglutinin, and the composition of carbohydrates, proteins, and phenolic and flavonoid compounds; then, they were tested against multidrug-resistant gram-positive and gram-negative strains combined with conventional antibiotics from different classes. Fraction 2 (F2) stood out for its high proteolytic and hemagglutinating capacities, and could reduce the therapeutic dosage of all the antibiotics in the different pathogens tested. The samples – especially Fraction 2 – showed promising results in optimizing the action of antibiotics, thus potentially mitigating the escalation of resistance in bacteria. This project is the first to investigate the medicinal properties of L. bicolor, focusing on its major biomolecules, and potential as an antibiotics enhancer.

O presente trabalho tem por objeto de estudo a relação entre variáveis de mudança demográfica, necessárias para o estabelecimento da idade de aposentaria na previdência, e variáveis de crescimento econômico, a partir dos dados dos municípios de Santa Catarina, com base nos Censos do IBGE de 2000 e 2010. Para tanto, será utilizada como ferramenta, a Análise Exploratória de Dados Espaciais (AEDE), com destaque para a estatística I de Moran e o índice LISA (Local Indicators of Spacial Association). Os resultados mostraram que as áreas de maior razão de dependência infantil são também os municípios que possuem mais baixa renda per capita e a razão de dependência de idosos tende a ser maior em localizações com renda per capita maior, porém essa variável apresentou relação negativa com o tamanho dos municípios. Além disso, as estimativas de mudanças nas regras previdenciárias afetaram principalmente a razão de dependência de idosos, indicando áreas com tendência de concentração espacial na demografia regional e a necessidade de infraestrutura de saúde e programas sociais nessas regiões.

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é uma condição que afeta o neurodesenvolvimento dos indivíduos, com a influência de fatores genéticos e ambientais. Este manifesta-se por meio de déficits persistentes na comunicação e na interação social e padrões restritos e repetitivos de comportamento, interesses ou atividades. O tratamento convencional fundamenta-se na abordagem interdisciplinar, que integra profissionais da saúde e educação. Nesse contexto, terapias complementares, como a Musicoterapia e Equoterapia, têm sido associadas ao tratamento convencional do TEA, em busca de melhores resultados. A metodologia utilizada foi uma revisão sistemática da literatura baseada na estratégia “PICO”. Os critérios de inclusão dos artigos foram aqueles que abordaram a Musicoterapia e Equoterapia como terapias complementares ao tratamento do TEA. Dessa forma, este trabalho fez uma análise abrangente da Musicoterapia e Equoterapia como terapias complementares ao tratamento do TEA, fornecendo uma compreensão mais aprofundada de suas eficácias, benefícios e limitações. Os resultados demonstraram que as duas terapias complementares oferecem benefícios associadas ao tratamento convencional de pessoas com TEA, principalmente nas áreas de comunicação, interação social e bem-estar emocional. A musicoterapia se destaca por melhorar a conectividade cerebral e facilitar a neuroplasticidade, enquanto a equoterapia contribui para o desenvolvimento motor, o autocontrole emocional e a redução de comportamentos estereotipados. No entanto, ambas as terapias apresentam limitações, como a necessidade de mais estudos padronizados e a menor eficácia em domínios cognitivos complexos. Conclui-se que a integração dessas abordagens em programas terapêuticos multidisciplinares pode oferecer uma resposta mais completa às necessidades diversificadas de indivíduos com TEA.

A enfermagem em saúde mental desempenha um papel essencial na promoção do bem-estar, prevenção de transtornos e suporte ao enfrentamento de desafios psíquicos. O uso das mídias digitais tem se mostrado uma ferramenta estratégica para disseminação de conteúdos científicos e aproximação com o público, especialmente os jovens, principais usuários dessas plataformas. O projeto descrito neste artigo apresenta uma iniciativa extensionista realizada por meio de um perfil no Instagram, focado em saúde mental e enfermagem. A página aborda temas como conceito de saúde mental, diferenças entre emoções e sentimentos, estresse, sono, prevenção ao suicídio entre outros, utilizando formatos atrativos como posts interativos, enquetes e vídeos educativos. Desde sua criação em outubro de 2023, a página realizou 17 publicações, alcançando tanto o público acadêmico quanto externo. Os conteúdos são elaborados de forma dinâmica, com linguagem acessível, e incluem estratégias práticas de autocuidado e conscientização. As redes sociais permitem o intercâmbio entre o meio acadêmico e a sociedade, promovendo a desmistificação de temas ligados à saúde mental e incentivando a busca por ajuda profissional quando necessário. O projeto destaca a relevância de utilizar mídias digitais para divulgar informações científicas, beneficiando especialmente o público jovem, que frequentemente enfrenta desafios relacionados ao bem-estar emocional. Essa abordagem promove a interação, conscientização e ampliação do acesso a informações qualificadas sobre saúde mental e enfermagem.

O uso de plantas medicinais remonta a milhares de anos, com diversas culturas explorando seus recursos naturais para aprimorar condições de vida, incluindo a cura e prevenção de doenças. No Brasil, práticas de uso de plantas foram moldadas pela interação entre conhecimentos indígenas, europeus e africanos, criando um vasto acervo de espécies medicinais utilizadas por comunidades tradicionais. Mesmo com a expansão de políticas de saúde pública, uma expressiva parte da população carente, principalmente na região Nordeste, ainda recorre às plantas para cuidados de saúde primária, destacando a importância do estudo etnobotânico para conservação desse conhecimento tradicional. Dessa maneiro, este estudo aconteceu na comunidade Sítio Pedra Talhada, próxima à Reserva Biológica de Pedra Talhada, Alagoas, com o objetivo de registrar o conhecimento popular local sobre espécies medicinais. Assim, utilizando abordagens qualitativas e quantitativas, foram entrevistados seis especialistas locais, dos quais foram identificadas 82 plantas medicinais pertencentes a 64 gêneros e 39 famílias, destacando-se Fabaceae e Lamiaceae pela diversidade de espécies. As plantas de hábito arbóreo foram predominantes, refletindo a disponibilidade de espécies na região e suas adaptações ao ambiente semiárido. Portanto, os dados etnobotânicos coletados destacam a importância do conhecimento tradicional na preservação de espécies nativas e indicam um potencial bioativo relevante para a medicina e a farmacologia.

A Constituição Federal de 1988 estabelece, no art. 31, que a fiscalização dos municípios será exercida mediante controle externo, e pelos sistemas de controle interno do Poder Executivo municipal. A Lei de Complementar 101, de 04 de maio de 2000 - Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal, também prescreve, no art. 59, que o Poder Legislativo, diretamente ou com auxílio dos tribunais de contas, e com o sistema de controle interno de cada Poder e do Ministério Público, deve fiscalizar o cumprimento desta própria lei. A Lei Complementar 131, também conhecida como Lei da Transparência ou Lei Capiberibe, é uma lei brasileira, sancionada em 2009 pelo Ex-presidente Lula, que obriga a União, os estados e os municípios a divulgar seus gastos na Internet em tempo real. Dessa forma o objetivo geral desta pesquisa é apresentar um estudo sobre a lei da transparência como forma de evitar superfaturamento e paralisação de obras públicas, abordando superfaturamento em obras públicas e como é realizada a parte técnica das auditorias da Controladoria Geral da União (CGU), além da apresentação de alguns tipos de superfaturamento e jogo de planilhas. No Brasil existem várias normas legais, como a do Código Civil (Lei nº 10.406, de 10 de janeiro de 2002), do Código de Defesa do Consumidor (Lei nº 8.078, de 11 de setembro de 1990), da Lei de Licitações e Contratos (Lei nº 14.133, de 1º de abril de 2021 e a antiga Lei nº 8.666, de 21 de junho de 1993), e várias outras leis impõem responsabilidades aos construtores de obras públicas, mesmo assim, empresam tentam das mais variadas formas burlar o sistema através do superfaturamento. Uma destas formas de corrupção em obras públicas por meio do superfaturamento com jogo de planilhas foi apresentado neste trabalho.
