Authors: Avella-Chacón Sandra Milena , Tovar-Gálvez Julio César , Espinosa-Barrera Paula Andrea , Martínez-Pachón Diana
Published: January 2025

Las brechas en acceso a oportunidades académicas y laborales entre estudiantes del sector rural y urbano en diferentes contextos mundiales son amplias.  Según datos, diversas variables como la pobreza, los bajos resultados académicos y la deserción escolar, contribuyen a esta diferencia.  Es crucial desarrollar estrategias educativas para los jóvenes rurales que faciliten el acceso a la educación superior y al empleo a partir de alianzas comunitarias. Por lo tanto, esta investigación tiene como objetivo sintetizar el conocimiento actual en Colombia y en el mundo de la Orientación Socio Ocupacional en la Educación Rural, identificando aspectos relevantes y vacíos en la investigación, a través del Proceso de Desarrollo del Conocimiento - Constructivista (ProKnow-C). Se estableció un portafolio de 36 artículos, que permitieron definir cinco aspectos fundamentales de la Orientación Socio Ocupacional en la Educación Rural: la inserción laboral, la transición a la educación superior, el rol del docente rural, el rol de la familia y la orientación educativa enfocada al contexto. Además, el análisis sistemático sugiere que los proyectos pedagógicos productivos, pueden ser una alternativa para la planificación de los proyectos de vida en estudiantes de colegios rurales.

Authors: Dios Sánchez Irene , Amor Almedina María Isabel
Published: January 2025

The new university teaching profile, placing greater emphasis on students’ formation and needs, highlights the need for a new approach to university tutoring as an integral part of the educational function and as a supportive space to accompany students on their journey towards learning. The main objective of this research is to confirm and analyse the psychometric properties and factorial structure of the “Questionnaire for the Assessment of Guidance and Tutoring in Higher Education - Teaching Version” (Q-AGT-P) scale, to measure university professors’ perceptions of the delivery of guidance and tutoring at the universities in the province of Manabí (Ecuador). The sample was made up of 398 professors from four universities, and the results show the suitability of the theoretical model proposed and support the structure of 2 factors: students’ needs regarding tutoring and the educational skills required from the tutor. The various indices of goodness of fit, reliability and internal consistence of the model were considered satisfactory. Of the main conclusions reached, it is possible to highlight the attainment of a valid and reliable instrument with which to measure the development of tutoring and guidance at Latin American universities, the professors’ high evaluation of tutoring and their perception of the great need for skills with which to carry out guidance and tutoring. Finally, it was concluded that it is necessary to deal with students’ needs beyond those concerning their academic education and to reinforce professors’ training in skills related to guidance and university tutoring.
APRENDIZAJE SERVICIO A TRAVÉS DE LA MENTORÍA. DISEÑO Y EVALUACIÓN DE UNA ESTRATEGIA FORMATIVA PARA ORIENTADORES
Authors: Torrecilla Sánchez Eva María , Torrijos Fincias Patricia , Olmos Migueláñez Susana
Published: January 2025

Este trabajo ofrece evidencias de un estudio cuyo objetivo general se centra en presentar una experiencia de aprendizaje servicio vinculada a la mentoría en la Universidad. Para ello, a la vez que se fomenta el desarrollo de competencias vinculadas a la toma de decisiones de los estudiantes en el Grado en Pedagogía, se desarrollan competencias profesionales en los estudiantes del Master de Educación Secundaria, quienes se encuentran especializándose en Orientación Educativa. Dicha experiencia formativa parte de la necesidad de dar cabida a la Orientación Profesional en el contexto Universitario, respondiendo a necesidades que no siempre son atendidas en los planes de estudio de los Grados.
La evaluación del programa de mentoría en orientación profesional, como estrategia de aprendizaje servicio, se plantea bajo un diseño mixto de corte predominantemente cuantitativo mediante un diseño pre-experimental pre-postest, que se complementa con un enfoque fenomenológico, de carácter cualitativo, que nos permite profundizar en la valoración que hacen los mentores y tutorados sobre la iniciativa. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que la participación en el programa formativo favorece una mejora competencial en los participantes. Los mentores consideran que no solo han adquirido conocimientos, sino que han desarrollado competencias asociadas a la relación de ayuda que se establece en la satisfacción de una necesidad manifiesta en los estudiantes del Grado en Pedagogía, concretamente en la elección de la mención a cursar en el último curso. Además, todos los participantes valoran muy positivamente la utilidad y organización del programa, presentando
ACCESIBILIDAD, TAMBIÉN EN LA ORIENTACIÓN ACADÉMICA Y PROFESIONAL
Authors: Fernández Soto Olga María , Pérez Albo María José , Fernández Cabanillas Eva María
Published: January 2025

Cuando se reflexiona sobre la orientación académica y profesional no es habitual detenerse en la accesibilidad, pero no importa únicamente la información que se ofrece, sino que llegue adecuadamente a sus destinatarios. En los dos últimos años, este objetivo ha dirigido las publicaciones Cuaderno de Orientación Académica y Profesional y la Guía para Familias y Alumnos de la Comunidad de Madrid: favorecer que los usuarios puedan acceder, informarse y tomar sus decisiones de manera fundamentada y autónoma.  
Para cumplirlo, las publicaciones se evalúan a través de dos vías: por un lado, se analizan los datos procedentes de Google Analytics, que ofrecen información relevante sobre el uso y alcance de la publicación. Por otro lado, se ha realizado una encuesta al profesorado para obtener información sobre el uso que se realiza, la percepción de utilidad de la herramienta y las posibles mejoras. Con los datos obtenidos se han ido implementando modificaciones, añadiendo o resaltando contenidos, introduciendo nuevos filtros y formatos de búsqueda y mejorando la accesibilidad. Como consecuencia, actualmente constituyen un recurso concreto de orientación que contribuye a su vez a la inclusión educativa y social y a la formación permanente del profesorado. Además, se constata el creciente uso de las herramientas digitales en los procesos de orientación. Por último, se destaca la importancia de tener canales de valoración, seguimiento y comunicación sobre estos recursos para ver su repercusión y aceptación y, en última instancia, adaptar las modificaciones al destinatario final.

Published: January 2025

En un contexto laboral en adaptación constante, los/as profesionales de la orientación sociolaboral de personas adultas tienen el enorme reto de contar con recursos y estrategias que les permitan responder a las demandas actuales, así como satisfacer las relativas a las de la propia carrera profesional en un contexto de aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida. Este estudio plantea conocer si la formación que reciben los/as orientadores/as en formación acerca de los procesos de construcción del desarrollo de la carrera impacta positivamente en ellos/as, y en qué medida dicha acción formativa facilita el desarrollo de las competencias de gestión de la carrera. Se aplica el Programa Taller Impulsa, basado en el Modelo CCP (Construyendo mi carrera profesional), integrando una metodología de carácter mixto para responder a la hipótesis de partida; aunando un diseño longitudinal (pretest-postest, cuantitativo) con un diseño cualitativo, administrado en un entorno virtual. Han participado 35 orientadores/as en formación universitaria relacionada con la orientación profesional. Los resultados, en general, indican un aumento en el desarrollo de las competencias de gestión de la carrera, concluyéndose que la formación en el Programa-Taller Impulsa, mediante el Modelo CCP, es susceptible de generar una mejora a juicio de las personas participantes. Las implicaciones principales del estudio se orientan a la importancia de la intervención formativa y orientadora, no sólo porque se auto perciben mejoras en la autogestión de la propia carrera, sino porque es esperable un impacto positivo en la sociedad desde la acción orientadora profesional que desarrollarán estos/as profesionales.
Optimizing Aircraft Operations in Case of Increasing Demand for Limited Airport Capacity
Authors: Demirel Soner , Çınar Ertan
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this paper is to minimize the total difference between the requested and assigned departure time of aircraft to enhance the efficiency of using limited airport capacity. The mathematical model was formed by employing mixed integer linear programming. The parameters, decision variables, and constraints were defined to cover the problem. The baseline and alternative scenarios were compared to present the improved results. Sensitivity analysis was performed to test the ability of the model with different parameters. Also, in order to test the mathematical model, distinct from both the baseline and alternative scenarios, CHQ airport was based by using its number of parking positions and taxi-in/out durations in the sensitivity analysis. The proposed model reduced the total difference by 20.78% for 30 aircraft for 5 parking positions in the alternative scenario. The results showed that it may well serve to improve the imbalance regarding operational conditions.
Impact of Transportation Time on Inventory Management Costs: Analyzing the Relationship in Food Waste Management
Authors: Hesami Naghshbandi Elnaz
Published: January 2025

In today’s world, environmental sustainability and resource conservation have become major concerns globally. In general, logistics, and more specifically, transportation time, play a crucial role in decision-making aimed at reducing spoilage and related expenses. This study investigates how variations in transportation time impact inventory management costs in food waste recycling across three sectors: composting, mushroom cultivation, and insect farming. A synthetic dataset was created, simulating realistic scenarios in food waste management, including variables such as transportation time, type of waste, energy usage, seasonal variations, and inventory management costs. Computational models and statistical analyses, including moderation and mediation analyses, were conducted using R programming language to evaluate three hypotheses. The results indicate a marginal moderating impact of waste type, where perishable waste marginally increased the cost impact of transportation time without reaching conventional significance. Energy usage mediated the relationship, where increased transportation time correlated with increased energy use and costs. Seasonal variations moderated the relationship, especially in winter and summer, indicating enhanced sensitivity to transport time.
Introduzindo física einsteiniana nas escolas: a abordagem Einstein-First
Authors: Souza Maira Giovana de , Serrano Agostinho , Treagust David , Blair David
Published: January 2025

A necessidade de modernizar o currículo de ciências e promover a alfabetização científica é amplamente reconhecida. No entanto, a ciência ensinada nas escolas muitas vezes não aborda o conhecimento desenvolvido nos séculos XX e XXI, especialmente no campo da física einsteiniana (FE), que engloba a física quântica e a relatividade. Essa discrepância entre a educação escolar e o entendimento científico moderno pode gerar equívocos e criar barreiras na aprendizagem científica. O programa Einstein-First, desenvolvido na Austrália, introduz conceitos de FE aos estudantes desde cedo, enfatizando o uso de aprendizado em grupo baseado em atividades, brinquedos, modelos e analogias. Este artigo explora o potencial de adaptação da abordagem Einstein-First para as escolas brasileiras, com base na experiência da primeira autora com o projeto na Austrália e considerando as semelhanças e diferenças entre os currículos dos dois países. Diversas atividades desenvolvidas pelo Einstein-First são apresentadas, juntamente com sugestões para sua implementação em diferentes níveis do ensino fundamental no Brasil, alinhando-se às habilidades e aos objetos de conhecimento delineados na Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC). Ao introduzir conceitos einsteinianos desde cedo, os estudantes podem desenvolver uma compreensão mais profunda das tecnologias e inovações presentes em suas vidas diárias, potencialmente melhorando suas atitudes em relação à ciência e promovendo a alfabetização científica.
suuri, iso vai kookas? tärkeä, keskeinen vai merkittävä?
Authors: Kekki Niina , Ivaska Ilmari
Published: January 2025

Tarkastelemme tässä artikkelissa monimuuttuja-sekamallin avulla, minkä adjektiivin lähisynonyymisista pesueista suuri/iso/kookas ja tärkeä/keskeinen/merkittävä S2- ja S1-puhujat valitsevat kaunokirjallisessa tekstikontekstissa. Edistyneiden kielenoppijoiden lähisynonyymien käytön ja opettamisen ongelmat on tunnistettu jo varhain. Lähisynonyymivalinnat on havaittu toisen kielen oppimisen tutkimuksessa yhdeksi yleisimmistä leksikaalisen tason syistä sille, että vielä edistyneidenkin kielenoppijoiden kielenkäyttö voi vaikuttaa kontekstille epätyypilliseltä. Aiempi tutkimus on lisäksi osoittanut, että kaunokirjallisuuden lukeminen mahdollistaa sattumanvaraisen sanaston oppimisen niin ensikielisillä kuin toisen/vieraan kielen puhujilla.
Käyttöpohjaisen näkemyksen mukaan kieli ja sen oppiminen pohjautuvat luonnollisen kielen käyttöön. Kielenkäytön ytimessä ovat konstruktiot eli muoto-merkitys-käyttö-kombinaatiot, jotka muodostavat toisiinsa kytkeytyvän verkoston. Vertaamme S2- ja S1-puhujien adjektiivivalintoja niiden tyypilliseen käyttöön konstruktionäkökulmasta eli selvitämme, mitkä muuttujat selittävät sanavalintaa konstruktiossa, jossa adjektiivi toimii pääsanansa määritteenä. Varsinainen aineisto on kerätty kyselytutkimuksella, mutta käytämme valintaa selittävinä taustamuuttujina laajaa kirjoa erilaisia taustamuuttujia. Näihin kuuluu valinnanalaisen konstruktion ominaisuuksia (mm. sijamuoto), kielenkäyttäjäkohtaisia muuttujia (mm. kielitausta ja lukutottumukset) sekä useita korpuksista johdettuja, tarkastelunalaisen konstruktion tyypillistä käyttöä kuvaavia muuttujia (mm. adjektiivien ja niiden pääsanojen yhteisesiintymien suhteelliset vahvuudet kielen eri rekistereissä).
Tutkimuksen tuloksena havaittiin, että suomeksi lukevat S2-puhujat valitsevat adjektiiveja alkuperäisen kaunokirjallisen kontekstin mukaisemmin kuin muilla kielillä lukevat. S1-puhujilla ei vastaavaa vaikutusta ole. Konstruktioiden osalta tutkimus vahvistaa aiempaa tietoa siitä, että L1- ja edistyneet L2-puhujat hahmottavat konstruktioita huomattavan samantapaisesti. Tarkasteltujen kollokaatioiden tekstilajipreferenssillä ei ole suurta merkitystä korkeakoulutetuilla vastaajilla, mahdollisesti koska kyselyaineisto mittaa enemmän sanaston reseptiivistä kuin produktiivista hallintaa. Tulokset osoittavat, että tilastollisena menetelmänä käytetty monimuuttujainen sekamalli sopii tutkimuksessa tarkasteltavan ilmiön selittämiseen. Malli toimii molemmissa pesueissa hyvin, mutta kiinnostavasti se selittää selvästi paremmin suuri-pesueen adjektiivivalintojen vaihtelua. Synonymiaa käsittelevissä korpustutkimuksissa on usein tarkastelussa vain yksi lähisynonyymipari tai -pesue, joten tämän tutkimuksen pohjalta voi esittää, että synonyymiaa käsittelevässä tutkimuksessa yhden lähisynonyymipesueen tarkastelun pohjalta ei voi kovin luotettavasti tehdä synonymiaa yleisesti koskevia tulkintoja. Lisäksi tutkimuksen tulokset kannustavat käyttämään kaunokirjallisuutta aikuisten kielenopetuksessa.

Bir İnanç Köyünde Tarımsal Üretim ve Ekolojik Yıkım: Direnişin Olanakları
Authors: Çetiner vd. Ozan
Published: January 2025

Köylülük ve kapitalizm arasındaki ilişkinin en çok tartışılan yönü küçük meta üreticiliğidir. Bu kavram, köylülerin üretim araçlarının sahibi oldukları halde nasıl kapitalistleşmediklerini ve kendi emeklerini kullanırken nasıl işçileşmediklerini (proleterleşme) açıklar. 21. yüzyılda “köylülük” yalnızca bu kavramla açıklanamayacak dönüşümlere uğramıştır. Bu dönüşümde şüphesiz küresel sermayenin dünyanın her yanına nüfuz etmesinin payı yüksektir. Köylerin kendi kültürel özellikleri de bu dönüşümle etkileşim halindedir. Bunu anlamak üzere, 2023 yılının Eylül ayında Antalya’nın Elmalı ilçesinin Tekke köyünde bir hafta süre ile yürüttüğümüz etnografik alan araştırmasının bulgularına dayanarak inanç ile üretim arasındaki ilişkiyi sorguluyoruz. Bu ilişkinin bir ucu köylülüğün varlığını sürdürebilme olanaklarına (strateji/direniş), dolayısıyla kapitalizme; bir ucu ise su kıtlığına, dolayısıyla “iklim krizine” dokunuyor. Böylesi geniş fakat birbirinden ayrılamaz nitelikte olan çeşitli ilişkiler ağının köyde nasıl bir değişime/dönüşüme yol açtığı ve gelecek için nasıl bir potansiyel taşıdığı ise araştırmamızın odak noktasını oluşturuyor. Buradan yola çıkarak, vahşi kapitalizmle ele ele yürüyen ekolojik yıkıma ve neoliberal politikalar neticesinde tarımı kendi “sefaletine” bırakan piyasa koşullarına karşı, Tekke köyü halkının farkında olarak ya da farkında olmadan yapıp ettiklerinin özgün bir örnek gösterdiğini ve bu stratejilerin potansiyel bir direniş alanı oluşturabileceğini iddia ediyoruz.

Dans l'œil de l'Obvia - Pourquoi la sobriété numérique ?
Authors:   Observatoire international sur les impacts sociétaux de l'intelligence artificielle et du numérique
Published: January 2025

Alors que les technologies numériques sont généralement promues comme des vecteurs de la transition énergétique et des outils pour combattre les changements climatiques, leurs impacts réels sur l’environnement sont plus complexes et nuancés. S’il est vrai que certaines technologies, comme des applications d’IA, peuvent avoir des retombées positives pour la planète, l’empreinte environnementale de nos usages du numérique ne cesse de croître et les préoccupations liées à celle-ci s’amplifient avec l’utilisation massive de l’IA générative dans le monde. Il peut toutefois être difficile de saisir l’ampleur des impacts environnementaux engendrés, car ils sont souvent invisibles. Les nouvelles technologies semblent ne pas être rattachées à des infrastructures tangibles qui seraient polluantes ou énergivores – pensons notamment au cloud ou l’infonuagique, qui suggère que les dossiers « flottent » dans un espace plus ou moins immatériel. Ces innovations nécessitent pourtant une grande quantité de ressources (pour fabriquer et faire fonctionner les équipements personnels et les infrastructures qui les soutiennent), mais leur coût environnemental peut être moins apparent que pour d’autres activités courantes, comme l’utilisation de la voiture, dont les impacts sont mieux connus de la population.

Background: PCOS is a complex endocrine disorder characterized by hormonal imbalances, reproductive irregularities, and metabolic disturbances. The overall objective was to find out effectiveness of the educational intervention on knowledge on polycystic ovarian syndrome among undergraduate students.
Methods: This true experimental study design was carried out in a selected campus of Tanahun district. The study population was undergraduate students who were 18 years and above. A systematic random sampling technique was adopted to select the sample. Data was collected by a pre-tested self-administered questionnaire before educational intervention. The questionnaire was developed by the researcher herself/himself through consulting subject experts and searching literature. The educational intervention package was developed. After three weeks of intervention, a posttest was conducted. The data was entered on SPSS 21.0 version and the result was analyzed by using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.
Results: The knowledge levels of respondents before and after the intervention, along with a control group show that in the pre-intervention phase, a substantial majority of students (96.6%) had an unsatisfactory knowledge level, while only 3.4% fell into the satisfactory category. Following the intervention,   with 100% of students achieving a satisfactory knowledge level. In   the control group there is a   maintained  high percentage of unsatisfactory knowledge pre-intervention (98.3%), with a marginal decrease to 96.6% post-intervention. In a study the intervention group showed a significant increase in knowledge with a median pretest score of 3 rising to 28 posttest. Their change score of 25 was highly significant (p=0.00). The control group   had a smaller increase from a pretest score of 0 to 2 posttest, with   a change score of 2 and a significant p value indicating the intervention’s effectiveness.
Conclusion: The positive outcomes observed in this study underscore the importance of an educational initiative in the broader context of health education for young adults.

EARLY OUTCOMES OF SURGICAL INTERVENTION IN PATIENTS WITH MOTOR VEHICLE INDUCED ACUTE SUBDURAL AND EXTRADURAL HEMATOMA
Authors: Zafar Awais , Maham Qazi  , Sidra Inam  , Muhammad Abdullah  , Farhan Manzoor
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Acute subdural and extradural hematomas (SDH and EDH) are common traumatic brain injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents. Prompt surgical intervention is often required, but the early outcomes and long-term rehabilitation needs of these patients remain a significant area of concern. This study evaluates the early outcomes of surgical interventions in patients with motor vehicle-induced acute SDH and EDH and identifies delayed detrimental presentations that affect rehabilitation. Objective: The primary aim of this study was to assess the early outcomes of surgical intervention in patients with motor vehicle-induced acute SDH and EDH. A secondary objective was to identify delayed detrimental presentations in hospital, specifically focusing on rehabilitation needs. Methodology: This cross-sectional study included a sample of 60 patients with acute SDH or EDH who underwent surgical intervention following a motor vehicle accident. The sample size was determined based on the anticipated frequency of these injuries, with data collected and analyzed using Open-Epi. Results and Findings: Early outcomes were assessed in terms of survival, neurological recovery, and post-surgical complications. Rehabilitation challenges were also documented, focusing on cognitive, motor, and functional impairments that developed during hospitalization. The study found that the majority of patients experienced significant improvement in neurological function following surgery. However, a notable proportion of patients presented with delayed complications, including cognitive deficits, motor impairments, and the need for extended rehabilitation. These delayed presentations were associated with longer hospital stays and more intensive post-surgical therapy. Conclusion: Surgical intervention in patients with motor vehicle-induced acute SDH and EDH generally leads to favorable early outcomes. However, delayed complications affecting rehabilitation were common and highlight the importance of ongoing monitoring and tailored rehabilitation strategies to optimize long-term recovery. Further research is necessary to develop predictive models for identifying patients at higher risk of delayed complications to improve post-surgical care and rehabilitation outcomes.
Integrasi Nilai Ulumul Hadits dalam Bimbingan dan Konseling Islam: Pendekatan Holistik di Era Modern
Authors: Syifa Syifa , Irsydunnas Irsydunnas
Published: January 2025

This study examines the integration of Ulumul Hadith values in Islamic guidance and counseling services to provide holistic solutions for modern individual problems. Highlighting Hadith as the second source of Islamic teachings after the Qur'an, it explores how its values can serve as the theoretical foundation, method, and goal of counseling. Using the literature review method, this study analyzes relevant texts and frameworks to understand the integration of Ulumul Hadith values with modern psychological approaches. Key values from Hadith, such as compassion, justice, honesty, patience, and empathy, are contextualized to enhance the effectiveness and spiritual relevance of counseling practices. The findings demonstrate that integrating these values strengthens moral foundations, increases cultural and spiritual relevance, and fosters a holistic approach to addressing client issues. Practical implications for counselors are substantial, as this approach equips them to resolve problems from a deeper Islamic perspective, ensuring solutions are aligned with religious guidance. Additionally, this integration helps develop clients' personalities to be more balanced, harmonious, and aligned with Islamic principles. This study offers a model for creating spiritually grounded counseling services, addressing both psychological and moral dimensions. By combining Ulumul Hadith with modern counseling methods, the approach becomes more effective and relevant to the needs of contemporary Muslim communities.

La sperimentazione ha ridefinito gli Ambiti di Integrazione Territoriale (AIT), promuovendo strategie intercomunali e rafforzando il ruolo strategico della pianificazione provinciale, con particolare attenzione alla sostenibilità e alla valorizzazione delle risorse locali.
La rigenerazione urbana e la cultura: dalle opportunità alle realizzazioni
Authors: Salmoni Vittorio
Published: January 2025

Il convegno "La rigenerazione urbana e la cultura" ha esplorato come l’innovazione e la creatività culturale possano innescare processi di rigenerazione urbana. Fondazioni bancarie hanno presentato progetti di successo, come la Caserma archeologica di Sansepolcro e "Lacittàintorno" a Milano. Gli interventi hanno evidenziato l’importanza della collaborazione pubblico-privato, l’uso di strumenti innovativi e la partecipazione delle comunità locali. L’arte e la cultura sono state riconosciute come driver fondamentali per la rigenerazione, capaci di creare relazioni e migliorare la qualità della vita urbana. Progetti come quelli della Fondazione CRF, Fondazione con il Sud e Fondazione Cariplo dimostrano come la cultura possa trasformare spazi abbandonati in centri di creatività e coesione sociale. La discussione ha sottolineato la necessità di semplificare le procedure e adottare usi promiscui e temporanei per superare le barriere esistenti.

Le Jane’s Walk, organizzate ogni anno in occasione del compleanno di Jane Jacobs, promuovono la consapevolezza e la comprensione dei quartieri urbani attraverso passeggiate comunitarie. Questi tour offrono una prospettiva personale sulla cultura locale, la storia sociale e le sfide urbanistiche. Lo scorso anno, la Jane’s Walk Napoli si è svolta nei quartieri di Bagnoli e Fuorigrotta, evidenziando la necessità di ripristinare il contatto con il mare a Bagnoli e migliorare i collegamenti pedonali a Fuorigrotta. Le passeggiate hanno coinvolto vari enti e istituzioni, mettendo in luce l’importanza della ricerca dell’identità territoriale, la valorizzazione dei beni storici e il coinvolgimento attivo della comunità nei processi di riqualificazione urbana. A Bagnoli, il percorso ha incluso soste significative come Piazza a Mare e il Pontile Nord, mentre a Fuorigrotta si è riflettuto sulla mobilità sostenibile e la riqualificazione degli spazi pubblici. Le Jane’s Walk dimostrano come la partecipazione comunitaria possa contribuire a un futuro urbano sostenibile e inclusivo.

AIM: This study aimed to explore the efficacy of open reduction and internal fixation assisted by handheld ultrasound combined with three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in treating multiple rib fractures. 
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data from 84 patients affected with multiple rib fractures admitted to our hospital between August 2022 and April 2024. After excluding four cases, 80 cases were included in this study. Based on the method of preoperative rib fracture localization, patients were divided into three groups: group A (n = 30), group B (n = 26), and group C (n = 24). Group A received 3D reconstruction of ribs on chest Computed Tomography (CT), group B adopted the examination of handheld ultrasound and 3D reconstruction of ribs on chest CT, and group C received handheld ultrasound, 3D reconstruction of ribs on chest CT, and 3D printing technology. The operation-related indicators (such as incision length, exposure time of surgical field, intraoperative blood loss), pulmonary function [total lung capacity (TLC), forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), residual volume (RV)], quality of life, degree of pain, and incidence of complications were compared among the three groups. 
RESULTS: Before surgery, there were no significant differences in pulmonary function, quality of life, and degree of pain among the three groups (p > 0.05). However, after surgery, significant differences in the pairwise comparison of TLC, FVC, FEV1/FVC and RV were observed among the three groups (p < 0.001), with group C indicating the highest levels of observational indicators and group A exhibiting the lowest levels. Furthermore, a significant difference was observed in the pairwise comparison of incision length, exposure time of surgical field, and intraoperative blood loss among the three groups (p < 0.001). Group C had the shortest incision length, the lowest exposure time in the surgical field, and the least intraoperative blood loss, while those in group A were the opposite. After surgery, a significant difference was found in the pairwise comparison of the quality of life and degree of pain among the three groups (p < 0.001). Group C had the highest quality of life and the lowest degree of pain, while Group A had the opposite results. Additionally, there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications among the three groups (p > 0.05). 
CONCLUSIONS: The open reduction and internal fixation assisted by handheld ultrasound combined with 3D printing technology revealed effective curative outcomes in treating multiple rib fractures. This method promotes the formulation of an accurate and personalized surgical plan and seems to have high clinical significance.

Published: January 2025

AIM: This study aims to investigate the impact of fast-track surgery (FTS), based on nutritional support, on postoperative rehabilitation and nutritional status in patients undergoing radical thyroidectomy and lateral lymphadenectomy. 
METHODS: This retrospective study included 112 patients who underwent radical thyroid cancer surgery and lateral neck lymph node dissection at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, between April 2021 and April 2023. Based on various nursing methods, patients were divided into two groups, with 58 patients included in the observation group (FTS care based on nutritional support), and 54 patients in the control group (routine perioperative care). Postoperative clinical indicators, nutritional status, Quality of Life, associated complications, and follow-up outcomes at 3 and 12 months were compared between the two groups. 
RESULTS: Patients in the observation group showed significantly shorter meal times, hospital stays, and off-bed time compared to the control group (p < 0.05). After three months of intervention, the observation group had higher body weight, muscle mass, and body fat, and lower Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) scores compared to the control group (p < 0.05). At the 12-month follow-up, the observation group had better nutritional status indicators than the control group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the observation group exhibited higher Quality of Life scores (p < 0.001) and reduced incidence of delayed complications (p < 0.05). During the three-month follow-up, the observation group demonstrated higher Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30) score compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Additionally, the overall incidence of complications was significantly lower in the observation group (p < 0.05). 
CONCLUSIONS: FTS nursing based on nutritional support effectively promotes postoperative recovery, improves nutritional status, and enhances Quality of Life in patients following radical thyroidectomy and lateral lymphadenectomy, which is worthy of being widely popularized.

AIM: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of pterygium excision combined with autologous limbal stem cell transplantation on microvascular density, tear film stability, and corneal wound healing in the management of pterygium. 
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 317 patients with pterygium who underwent treatment between January 2021 and January 2024. Patients were divided into a control group (pterygium excision alone, n = 161) and a study group (pterygium excision combined with autologous limbal stem cell transplantation, n = 156) based on the surgical approach. The study compared the surgical efficacy, perioperative outcomes, and corneal healing between the two groups. Preoperative and postoperative changes in conjunctival microvascular density, tear film stability indicators, and ocular comfort scores were also assessed. 
RESULTS: The effective treatment rate was significantly higher in the study group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Postoperative uncorrected visual acuity, vertical corneal curvature, and horizontal corneal curvature were significantly better in the study group, whereas corneal astigmatism was lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). The postoperative levels of pigment epithelial derived factor (PEDF) were higher in the study group, while levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and microvascular density (MVD) were lower than in the control group (p < 0.05). Corneal healing scores on postoperative days 1, 3, and 7 were lower in the study group than in the control group, and the time resolution of corneal wound congestion and corneal epithelial coverage was significantly shorter compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Tear film stability, as indicated by the Schirmer I test (SIt) and tear breakup time (BUT), was improved in the study group than that in the control group (p < 0.05). Postoperative ocular comfort scores were lower in the study group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). No significant difference in postoperative complication rates was observed between the groups (p > 0.05). 
CONCLUSIONS: Pterygium excision combined with autologous limbal stem cell transplantation effectively inhibits angiogenesis, improves visual function, enhances tear film stability, and accelerates corneal wound healing, making it a superior treatment option for pterygium.

A nivel mundial es necesario del manejo responsable de los recursos naturales para asegurar la disponibilidad de agua y alimentos, además de incentivar acciones para la salvaguardia del patrimonio biocultural gastronómico de cada región; especialmente en islas del Caribe, donde los recursos como el agua y territorio son limitados. En el presente documento se propone el modelo conceptual de la Sinergia Seguridad Hídrica (SH) - Seguridad Alimentaria (SA) - Patrimonio Biocultural Gastronómico (PBG), haciendo énfasis en los puntos de convergencia entre los conceptos dentro del contexto de las islas del Caribe. Una sinergia entre SH, SA y PBG consideraría elementos esenciales para la vida (disponibilidad hídrica y su relación con la población), las bases para el desarrollo regional (alimento disponible y de calidad) y la preservación del patrimonio gastronómico por parte de la sociedad donde se implemente (cultura gastronómica local). Complementariamente y siguiendo al modelo, se aborda una propuesta aplicativa de técnicas para el manejo de residuos (compostaje) y de producción de elementos bióticos en sistemas hidropónicos, lo que resultaría en: reducción en el impacto ambiental, generación de insumos que incrementan la fertilidad para cultivos en suelo y una opción viable para el cultivo de alimentos debido a su alta productividad y uso eficiente de agua. En todos los casos se incentiva a realizar investigaciones que permitan contextualizar al modelo a las características sociohistóricas de la localidad, además de evaluar el potencial de insumos bióticos y abióticos locales en estos sistemas productivos.
