El bestiario vacceo: animales comidos, sacrificados y representados
Authors: Blanco García Juan Francisco , Sanz Mínguez Carlos
Published: January 2025

El entorno físico del pueblo vacceo estuvo poblado por muchas especies animales. Como espejo de sus características específicas, algunas de ellas se convirtieron en el imaginario de esa sociedad en manifestaciones de la divinidad, de las fuerzas de la naturaleza y el inframundo o de su forma de estar organizadas política y socialmente; y esto las convirtió en sagradas, con el consiguiente uso conceptualizado de sus imágenes, aspecto que constituye una fuente de conocimiento a través de la cual podemos entender mejor aquella realidad.

The resettlement policy implemented by the Russian Empire, the mass resettlement of Armenians to the region after the Turkmenchay and Edirne treaties, as well as the influence of social and economic factors, have led to significant changes in the demographic landscape of Karabakh. The article is based on historical documents and statistical data and sheds light on the impact of these changes on the political and social development of the region.
ASPECTOS TRADUTÓRIOS: PARTIDA E CHEGADA EM O SEGREDO DE BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN
Authors: Barboza Adão Pereira da Silva , Bomfim Fernanda Rocha
Published: January 2025

Translation studies are  challenges for those who want to explore the paths of this art. Translating requires more than searching for an equivalent word in the languages  involved. However, Translation has an important role in linguistic, critical and interpretive training of academics. It involves several areas of knowledge such as text linguistics, the grammars of the languages  involved and Literature, proposing a compilation of them in the search for understanding form and the production of meaning. Although all of this is well-known and indispensable, it can be said that the translation methods used in universities are limited to an empty vision of instant understanding, thus excluding the details of this artistic manifestation that were necessary for human evolution. Based on this assumption, a bibliographical research was carried out, with the aim of showing that Translation can contemplate the skills proposed for the development of academics through studies of their historicity, source language and target language, form and meaning, critical fortune of author and finally the practice of this theory in the comparative analysis of the work Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx with its translation by Adalgisa Campos da Silva. The linguistic resources used by the translator were identified and what changes were made to achieve the meaning proposed by the author of the original work within a specific context, which Annie Proulx made a point of exposing in her narrative.
UM RETRATO DAS DELEGACIAS ESPECIALIZADAS NO ATENDIMENTO ÀS MULHERES VÍTIMAS DE VIOLÊNCIA EM MANAUS
Authors: ALBUQUERQUE, Raimundo Fabrício Paixão
Published: January 2025

Este artigo analisa a atuação das delegacias especializadas no combate à violência contra a mulher em Manaus, destacando a estrutura, operações e a eficácia dessas instituições. A pesquisa tem como objetivo avaliar o cumprimento da legislação, especialmente a necessidade de funcionamento 24 horas, e os resultados das ações implementadas. A metodologia utilizada inclui a análise de dados oficiais sobre ocorrências e inquéritos policiais e relatos do cotidiano encontrados na mídia. Os principais resultados indicam que, apesar da existência de três delegacias na cidade, apenas uma opera ininterruptamente, o que limita o acesso das mulheres a serviços de proteção. Em 2023, apenas 9,8% dos casos de violência registrados resultaram na abertura de inquéritos, evidenciando a ineficácia do sistema diante da elevada demanda. As conclusões apontam para a insuficiência das políticas públicas e a necessidade urgente de ampliar a cobertura das delegacias, garantindo atendimento contínuo e capacitado. A falta de segurança percebida pelas vítimas pode contribuir para a baixa taxa de representação nos casos de violência, refletindo um abismo entre a demanda e a resposta institucional. A pesquisa ressalta a importância de fortalecer as estruturas de atendimento à mulher para efetivar a proteção e a justiça.

Published: January 2025

Este estudo analisa o impacto das queimadas na Amazônia, abordando suas consequências ambientais e para a saúde pública, além de políticas de educação ambiental. A pesquisa, de natureza bibliográfica, utiliza dados secundários de relatórios e literatura acadêmica. Em 2024, o Brasil registrou mais de 164 mil focos de incêndio, um aumento de 107% em relação ao ano anterior, com mais de 50% desses focos na Amazônia. Em outubro de 2024, o Amazonas registrou mais de 2,5 mil focos, o segundo pior resultado para o mês nos últimos 26 anos. As queimadas afetam a biodiversidade e prejudicam a saúde respiratória das populações locais, especialmente crianças e idosos. Políticas como o Plano de Prevenção e Controle do Desmatamento e Queimadas Ilegais (PPCQ-AM) têm mostrado potencial, mas a falta de ação social dificulta sua implementação. Conclui-se que as queimadas exigem respostas urgentes, com educação ambiental e políticas públicas eficazes como ferramentas essenciais para mitigar seus impactos e garantir a saúde e sustentabilidade da região.
A INFLUÊNCIA DA VIOLÊNCIA AFETIVA NA DESPERSONALIZAÇÃO EM PACIENTE COM TRANSTORNO DE PERSONALIDADE BORDERLINE
Authors: ALBUQUERQUE, Raimundo Fabrício Paixão
Published: January 2025

Este artigo explora uma pesquisa qualitativa sobre a despersonalização em uma paciente diagnosticada com transtorno de personalidade borderline (TPB), a partir da análise de prontuários e relatos clínicos. A despersonalização, caracterizada pela sensação de desconexão de si mesmo, é frequentemente associada a distorções na percepção da identidade. O transtorno de personalidade borderline é caracterizado por instabilidade emocional, impulsividade e dificuldades nas relações interpessoais, muitas vezes decorrentes de traumas não resolvidos. A pesquisa identifica que a despersonalização age como uma defesa egóica, surgindo como uma reação a experiências emocionais dolorosas vivenciadas na infância, como a ausência de cuidado e violência afetiva. Esses fatores contribuem para a formação de uma identidade instável, na qual a paciente se desconecta de suas emoções para evitar o sofrimento. O estudo sugere que a despersonalização é uma tentativa do ego de proteger-se da sobrecarga emocional, dissociando-se das experiências traumáticas. Os resultados enfatizam a importância de um ambiente afetivo seguro para o desenvolvimento emocional saudável. A falta de apoio emocional na infância, marcada por abandono ou abuso, cria um vazio afetivo que pode ser preenchido por mecanismos defensivos, como a despersonalização. A pesquisa sugere que intervenções terapêuticas devem focar na construção de um vínculo seguro, no fortalecimento da identidade e na regulação emocional, proporcionando à paciente a reconexão com suas emoções e a construção de uma autoestima saudável.
A DILUIÇÃO DOS DIREITOS DE PROTEÇÃO NA ERA DO BIG DATA: UMA ANÁLISE SOB A ÓTICA DO DIREITO DO CONSUMIDOR
Authors: Pinheiro Weider Silva , Jesus Ytalo Bertolino de , Silva Elisângela Ferreira da , Oliveira Isabela Marques Mendanha de
Published: January 2025

RESUMO: O Direito se modifica na medida em que a própria sociedade se modifica em relação as maneiras, usos e formas com as quais os indivíduos submetidos se relacionam, e considerando a rapidez das modificações sociais propiciada pela Era Digital, tais transformações passam a ocorrer em velocidade muito mais célere do que o Direito consegue acompanhar — com especial impacto no que diz respeito à obtenção de dados pessoais pelas Big Tech’s sem que haja um conhecimento real quanto aos motivos dessas obtenções ou mesmo eventuais usos futuros. Entendendo tal problemática, o objetivo do presente artigo é discutir, no âmbito do Direito do Consumidor, a diluição dos direitos de proteção na Era Digital, considerando que há, nesse cenário, a virtualização da personalidade jurídica do consumidor e a produção massiva de dados correlatos à sua navegação e preferências online. Compreender que a coleta, armazenamento, tratamento e comercialização de dados virtuais, cujo usuário é ao mesmo tempo dono e produtor desses dados, é em si mesma a própria modificação dos antigos padrões de produção, consumo, mais valia e comércio, é fator essencial para o Direito enquanto ciência humana e para a execução de seu motivo de ser, não apenas para pacificação social, mas também como mantenedor de uma sociedade justa e livre de opressões, sendo este um tema não só relativo à proteção de direitos individuais e coletivos, mas correlato ainda à questões de geopolítica estratégica.
Collaborative Care: Multi-Agent Systems in Healthcare
Authors: Power David
Published: January 2025

Everyday thousands of IoT devices are added to networks globally. Medical IoT (IoMT) is a subdomain, which has had much success over recent years and is expanding rapidly. However, interoperability is poor with IoMT devices, and even the sharing of basic patient data is generally poor between healthcare systems. There is considerable waste and unnecessary duplication of data across devices, which grows exponentially across healthcare systems. Multi-agent systems have the potential to reduce waste and expenditure while improving efficiency and personalizing patient care and may offer the potential to realize both organizational and patient care benefits.

Investigation of the Effect of Alloying Elements on the Density of Titanium-Based Biomedical Materials Using Explainable Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Alaca Yusuf , Uzunoğlu Yusuf , Emin Berkay
Published: January 2025

Titanium alloys are widely preferred in the healthcare sector as biocompatible materials due to their superior properties such as low density and exceptional mechanical strength. Their low density provides lightweight solutions, and their density is closer to that of human bone compared to other metallic alloys with similar strength. This similarity facilitates a balanced load distribution between the bone and the implant, enhancing biomechanical compatibility. This study investigates the effects of alloying elements on the density of titanium-based biomedical materials using a computational materials science approach. A total of 72 different compositions of Ti-Al-V alloys were modeled using JMatPro software, and their densities were simulated at room temperature (25°C). The simulation produced a comprehensive dataset, which was utilized to train an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) model. Advanced interpretability techniques, including SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations), LIME (Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations), and Partial Dependence Plots (PDP), were employed to elucidate the influence of each alloying element on the density. The dataset was analyzed using an XAI-based regression model implemented with the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) algorithm. The interpretability graphs provided insights into the individual contributions of the alloying elements, revealing their positive or negative effects on the density. The findings offer a deeper understanding of the role of alloying elements in optimizing the performance of titanium-based biomedical materials, particularly in achieving lightweight designs. This study highlights the potential of integrating computational material modeling with explainable AI to advance the design and development of high-performance lightweight materials for biomedical applications.

The life of Bhagat Singh stands as a poignant testament to the fervent desire for independence that permeated early 20th-century India. Born in 1907 in a politically charged environment, Singh was deeply influenced by the ideologies of nationalism and social justice, which later shaped his revolutionary fervor. His remarkable journey from a young idealist to a formidable freedom fighter is emblematic of the broader struggle against British colonial rule. As an intellectual, Singh sought not only liberation from colonial oppression but also dreamed of establishing a society characterized by equality and justice. This essay will explore the key events, motivations, and philosophical underpinnings that defined Singhs life and actions, ultimately revealing how his legacy continues to inspire contemporary movements for justice and equality in India and beyond. By examining Singhs contributions, we can better understand the intricate relationship between individual agency and collective resistance in the quest for freedom. Bhagat Singh remains a pivotal figure in Indias struggle for independence, embodying the spirit of youthful defiance and revolutionary fervor. His contributions are manifold; he was not only a key participant in the revolutionary activities against British colonial rule but also a profound thinker who articulated the need for socialism and justice. His writings, particularly those advocating for the rights of the working class, resonate with contemporary socio-political movements, highlighting the importance of equality and resistance against oppression. In today’s context, Singhs legacy is particularly relevant as protests worldwide echo his calls for justice and freedom, demonstrating the enduring influence of his ideals. Through his sacrifice and martyrdom, Singh inspires modern activists, encouraging them to challenge societal injustices and galvanize collective action. Thus, his life and contributions not only shaped Indias past but continue to inspire future generations in their quest for a fair and equitable society.

Authors: Mensah George Benneh , Mijwil Maad M. , Abotaleb Mostafa , Ali Guma , Dutta Pushan Kumar , Mzili Toufik , Eid Marwa M.
Published: January 2025

This analysis examines whether Ghana’s Public Health Act, 2012 (Act 851) imposes adequate legal responsibilities on healthcare facilities concerning personnel training on artificial intelligence (AI) systems and implementation of medical negligence reduction measures. Through an evaluative review of Act 851 provisions on staff qualifications, technology deployment, quality care, safety planning, and risk management benchmarks relative to precedents in Ghana and other countries, critical gaps in binding regulations to incentivize organizational capacity building for mitigating errors, hazards and liabilities from substandard practices were identified. Key recommendations include amending Act 851 to mandate credentialing assurance frameworks, clinical audits, risk assessment models and transparency requirements around reporting quality indicators. Strengthening policy directives will compel internal monitoring, governance, and accountability among healthcare facilities as multilayered negligence prevention strategies. Scientific contributions highlight deficiencies in Ghana’s health legislation regarding contemporary challenges like AI adoption risks and propose legal reforms to modernize regulations to support safer, responsible healthcare delivery nationwide.

« Deux collègues en littérature » : Sedaine et Beaumarchais
Authors: Yvernault Virginie
Published: January 2025

Cet article étudie la relation entre Beaumarchais et Sedaine à travers les diverses modalités de la présence de Sedaine dans l’œuvre de son « collègue en littérature », qu’il s’agisse de vagues réminiscences, d’allusions transparentes, de citations explicites ou bien de reprises de situations dramatiques particulières. Que Beaumarchais choisisse de faire référence à Sedaine par goût ou par opportunisme, il en va toujours de la promotion d’une esthétique nouvelle et de la défense du drame. Dès lors, il serait inexact de vouloir faire de Beaumarchais un imitateur de Sedaine. Les liens que tissent les deux hommes relèvent d’une collaboration, non d’une filiation. Sedaine est un associé, un collaborateur, un auxiliaire appelé en renfort pour continuer sur un terrain esthétique la bataille de la modernité que tous deux mènent sur le plan juridique, la défense du drame venant redoubler le combat, tout aussi novateur, en faveur des droits des auteurs dramatiques.
Le Diable à quatre de Sedaine : sources et avatars
Authors: Ruimi Jennifer
Published: January 2025

Le Diable à quatre est la pièce qui a lancé la carrière dramatique de Sedaine: sollicité par Monnet, le directeur de l’Opéra-Comique, Sedaine écrit ce texte rapidement, en imitant une pièce anglaise de Charles Coffey et John Mottley, The Devil to pay (1731), réduite ensuite par Theophilus Cibber puis traduite par ClaudePierre Patu sous le titre Le Diable à quatre, ou les Femmes métamorphosées (1756). La pièce anglaise elle-même est déjà l’héritière d’une série de textes antérieurs; fait marquant, elle est réadaptée en France à de très nombreuses reprises après l’opéracomique de Sedaine. Comment expliquer la fortune de cette œuvre? Quelles sont les spécificités du Diable à quatre de Sedaine par rapport à toutes les autres versions de ce texte et en quoi l’imitation d’une pièce anglaise a-t-elle servi sa carrière théâtrale? Voici les questions auxquelles cet article entend répondre.
La fortune de Sedaine en Allemagne
Authors: Schneider Herbert
Published: January 2025

C’est en Allemagne que Sedaine a eu le plus de succès à l’étranger: en termes d’œuvres jouées, de scènes où il a été représenté et de durée. La réception sous forme de Singspiel et même de ballet-pantomime commence en 1766 et dure au moins jusqu’en 1890. Les formes de publication sont les livrets avec ou sans notation d’airs choisis, et les partitions de clavier et chant, souvent en deux langues. Parmi les trois drames de Sedaine, c’est Le Philosophe sans le savoir qui a eu le plus de succès. Le Roi et le fermier a été joué en quatre traductions différentes, Rose et Colas et Le Déserteur en cinq, Richard Cœur de lion paraît en au moins quatre traductions sur tous les théâtres en Allemagne, adapté à la culture allemande. Le théâtre français de Hambourg a donné 14 œuvres de Sedaine en langue originale, les théâtres de Vienne neuf en traduction. Une analyse comparative des traductions est consacrée au Déserteur (joué également sans musique).
Le Jardinier et son seigneur : Les filles d’opéra au village
Authors: Legrand Raphaëlle
Published: January 2025

En 1754, Sedaine adapte à la scène la fable de la Fontaine Le Jardinier et son seigneur, sous la forme d’un opéra-comique mêlant vaudevilles et ariettes de Philidor. Il ajoute à son modèle les personnages de deux chanteuses de l’Opéra, illustrant l’effet corrupteur des mœurs théâtrales sur la jeune paysanne Fanchette. L’une des chanteuses, Victoire, est interprétée par une actrice de la Foire nommée (ou surnommée) Arnould, homonyme de la célèbre chanteuse de l’Opéra, Sophie Arnould, ce qui multiplie les effets intertextuels et intergénériques.
Sedaine et la pastorale : Permanence et plasticité d’une tradition
Authors: Beaucé Pauline
Published: January 2025

La pastorale est une tradition artistique qui connaît une vogue importante au xviiie siècle et dont Sedaine s’empare. À la lecture de son œuvre dramatique, mais aussi poétique et chansonnière, la pastorale se révèle un lien fort qui unit des productions éloignées temporellement et génériquement. Cet article propose d’aborder les modalités de présence de la pastorale dans le théâtre de Sedaine pour mieux intégrer ses deux œuvres de jeunesse (L’Impromptu de Thalie, ou la Lunette de Vérité et Anacréon). Il ne s’agira pas de proposer un catalogue mais bien d’observer la place d’une tradition comique et sérieuse de la pastorale et le dialogue interne qu’elle tisse dans l’ensemble de l’œuvre de Sedaine.
Managing Inventory in Response to Varying Demand at Retail Store X to Reduce Stockouts
Authors: Irawan Devina Kristalia , Puspitasari Fransiska Hernina , Kristiyani Ika Murti
Published: January 2025

Both inventory shortages and excess inventory are among the issues encountered in inventory management. Lost sales are one of the impacts caused by inventory shortages. Retail Store X often experiences lost sales due to inventory shortages, such as cigarettes. Fluctuating demand and supplier terms make it difficult for this store to determine the order quantity sent to the supplier. Therefore, this research aims not only to minimize the number of stockouts but also complying with the supplier's requirement which is often disregarded in other research. The number of cigarettes that must be ordered must meet the minimum purchase under the agreed cooperation contract and the budget of Retail Store X that has been determined. This problem is solved using the periodic review system method, which relies on three parameters for the decision-making. This method calculates the order quantity for 10 cigarette products and then simulates over the next month to determine the number of stockouts that occur. Based on the results, one stockout incident was found for Tawang cigarettes amounting to two packs. Besides, the supplier requirement condition from the second supplier is also met and the purchase budget is fulfilled, which is below Rp450,000.00.

Published: January 2025

Background: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) provide significant care issues due to their delayed healing durations and high complication rates. The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of vacuum-assisted dressing in enhancing DFU healing and to identify factors that influence outcomes. Objective: To determine the efficacy of vacuum assisted dressing technique in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Study Design and Setting: A quasi-experimental study was conducted at the Department of Surgery, Mardan Medical Complex Mardan from July 2024 to December 2024. Materials and Methods: The study included 85 patients with DFUs, with an average age of 58.3 years (SD ± 12.5) and diabetes duration of 10.8 years (SD ± 6.3). Demographic, clinical, and treatment data were analyzed. The key outcomes were healing time, ulcer size decrease, pain reduction, and complication rates. Regression analysis was used to find determinants of healing. Results: This study involved 85 patients with diabetic foot ulcers (mean age 58.3 years, average diabetes duration 10.8 years). Vacuum-assisted dressing led to significant healing, with a mean healing time of 8.5 weeks and >50% ulcer size reduction in 64.7% of patients. Pain scores dropped by 2.3 points, and satisfaction was high. Significant predictors of healing time included age, smoking, Wagner grade, ulcer size, and infection, with vacuum-assisted dressing significantly shortening healing time (β = -2.5, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Vacuum-assisted dressing is a successful and patient-friendly approach for controlling DFUs that reduces healing time, ulcer size, and complications. Early intervention and addressing modifiable risk factors are crucial for achieving optimal outcomes.

Published: January 2025

Background: The occurrence and intensity of PDPH can be affected by several factors, including the caliber of the spinal needle and the technique employed during anesthesia. Although the median approach is conventionally used, the paramedian approach may provide advantages in some instances. This study aims to assess the incidence of postdural puncture headache (PDPH) after spinal anesthesia in cesarean sections with 25G and 27G needles via median and paramedian techniques. Materials and Methods: This six-month cohort study at Health Net, Peshawar, analyzed 200 C-section patients, grouped by spinal needle gauge (25G, 27G) and method (median, paramedian). Spinal anesthesia with 0.75% Bupivacaine was used, and PDPH incidence was monitored for five days. Results: The study found a 25% incidence of postdural puncture headache (PDPH), higher in the 25G needle group (35%) than the 27G group (15%; p = 0.01). The median spinal approach had a slightly higher PDPH rate (27.3%) than the paramedian method (22.2%; p = 0.25). Significant predictors included 25G needle use (OR = 28.2; p < 0.001), repeated puncture attempts (OR = 7.5; p < 0.001), and age ≥30 years (OR = 4.5; p < 0.001). Increased PDPH risk was also linked to blood loss ≥500 mL (OR = 5.2; p < 0.001) and the sitting position (OR = 1.8; p = 0.09). Conclusion: The research revealed a higher incidence of PDPH associated with 25G needles in comparison to 27G, with several attempts and patient variables also playing a role. Utilizing smaller-gauge needles and limiting attempts can significantly decrease the incidence of PDPH in patients undergoing cesarean sections.

Introduction: Postoperative delirium (POD) represents a notable complication subsequent to heart surgery. The use of dexmedetomidine for delirium prophylaxis is still debated. The authors hypothesised that dexmedetomidine sedation after cardiac surgery would reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium (POD). Materials and Methods: This study included heart surgery patients aged ≥60, excluding those with dementia, delirium, or major depression. ICU patients received four hours of propofol or dexmedetomidine (initial dose 0.4 μg/kg, then 0.2–0.7 μg/kg/h infusion). Delirium was assessed every 12 hours for five days, with POD frequency as the primary outcome. Results: This study compared dexmedetomidine and propofol for sedation in cardiac surgery patients. The dexmedetomidine group had a shorter ICU stay (2.2 ± 0.9 vs. 3.5 ± 1.3 days, p = 0.01), earlier recovery (18.4 ± 4.5 vs. 22.7 ± 5.2 hours, p = 0.02), and lower delirium incidence (16% vs. 30%, p = 0.08). Hospital stays were shorter (2.4 ± 0.9 vs. 3.8 ± 1.2 days, p < 0.001), pain scores were lower (3.2 ± 1.1 vs. 5.6 ± 1.3, p < 0.001), and fewer required rescue analgesia (20% vs. 44%). Despite higher sedative costs, dexmedetomidine proved superior in delirium control and recovery outcomes. Conclusion: Overall, compared to propofol-based sedation, postoperative dexmedetomidine sedation had fewer cases of postoperative delirium (POD), a later start, and a shorter duration in older patients undergoing heart surgery.

Introdução:A disseminação perineural é uma complicação rara, mas relevante, em pacientes com adenocarcinoma de mama, frequentemente não diagnosticada devido à apresentação clínica inespecífica. A identificação precoce por exames de imagem, como ressonância magnética, é essencial. No Brasil, o câncer de mama é a neoplasia maligna mais comum em mulheres, associada a complicações metastáticas, incluindo a disseminação perineural.
Descrição do Caso Clínico:Paciente feminina de 60 anos com dor no ombro esquerdo, sem histórico prévio de neoplasia. O diagnóstico de plexopatia braquial foi realizado por ressonância magnética, tomografia computadorizada de tórax e ultrassonografia mamária, sendo confirmada por biópsia.
Achados de Imagem:A ressonância magnética revelou realce nodular e sinais de infiltração perineural no plexo braquial. A tomografia mostrou lesões líticas no esterno e alterações nos vasos subclávios. A ultrassonografia identificou lesão expansiva com margens irregulares na mama esquerda, classificada como BIRADS 5. A biópsia confirmou adenocarcinoma mamário invasivo positivo para receptor de estrogênio e negativo para HER2.
Discussão:A infiltração perineural é uma via rara de disseminação tumoral, frequentemente associada a dor e disfunção neurológica, e pode ser confundida com efeitos da quimioterapia ou causas inflamatórias. A ressonância magnética é essencial para diferenciar entre fibrose e infiltração tumoral, enquanto a tomografia ajuda a avaliar comprometimento ósseo e vascular. A ultrassonografia tem papel na detecção do tumor primário.
Conclusão:Este caso reforça a importância da integração de métodos de imagem para o diagnóstico precoce e preciso de complicações raras, como plexopatia braquial no câncer de mama. A colaboração multidisciplinar é fundamental para um manejo eficaz, impactando positivamente no prognóstico e qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

Published: January 2025

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) represent a transformative leap in energy storage, offering significant advantages in safety, energy density, and environmental impact compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, the high costs and complex manufacturing processes of SSBs hinder their large-scale adoption. This research evaluates cost-reduction strategies and efficiency enhancements in the production of SSBs, focusing on roll-to-roll (R2R) processing. Key innovations include the integration of infrared (IR) drying systems and automated start/stop control mechanisms, combined with iterative machine calibration for quality control. The results demonstrate energy savings of ~50%, processing speed improvements of 20–50%, and manufacturing cost reductions of ~20%. These findings contribute to the broader adoption of SSB technology, paving the way for a sustainable energy future.

Non-technical Skills in Undergraduate Degrees in Business: Development and Transfer
Authors:   The University of Western Australia, Jackson Denise , Hancock Phil
Published: January 2025

The development of discipline-specific skills and knowledge is no longer considered sufficient in graduates of Bachelor level degrees in Business. Higher education providers are becoming increasingly responsible for the development of a generic skill set deemed essential in undergraduates. This required skill set comprises a broad range of non-technical skills encompassing analytical/reasoning skills and 'soft skills', widely considered to be transferable across a range of scenarios including the classroom and the workplace. Yet graduate skill gaps persist in Australia; questioning the extent to which this required skill set is truly generic and thus transferable from higher education to the workplace. The process of, and ensuing problems with, transfer from the classroom to workplace contexts is discussed and future research needs identified.

Examining Mathematics Teacher Content Knowledge Using Policy, State Certification Tests and Transcripts
Authors:   University of North Texas, Harrell Pamela Esprívalo , Eddy Colleen McLean
Published: January 2025

This study examined mathematics teacher content knowledge in terms of policy maker recommendations, college coursework, and teacher certification mathematics test scores. Transcript analysis indicated poor alignment of national policy maker recommendations for mathematics teachers and college degrees in mathematics. Teacher certification test results based on mathematics coursework preparation suggested that state educator standards require knowledge of content taught in middle school, high school, and in introductory college mathematics courses. Policy makers are asked to consider the validity of content tests, which align poorly with college degrees in mathematics and are used as primary gatekeepers to teacher certification.

Authors:   The University of Western Australia, Bassiri Mojdeh , Lyons Zaza , Hood Sean
Published: January 2025

Stigmatisation among mental health professionals can have a significant impact on individuals who work in the area, and on recruitment of people into the mental health workforce. This study aimed to investigate the source, type, and impact of positive and negative comments, attitudes, and behaviours experienced by psychiatrists and psychiatric registrars. Thirty psychiatrists and registrars responded to a survey. Results indicated that negative experiences were reported at a significantly higher frequency compared with positive experiences. Other psychiatrists contributed positively to experiences regarding their profession in mental health. In contrast, doctors from other specialties and the media contributed negatively. Notwithstanding these negative experiences, there was high morale among respondents. This survey has shown that despite gains in addressing stigma towards mental illness within the community, stigma towards psychiatrists remains a significant issue. Psychiatry as a profession needs to address this in order to enable the discipline to overcome these damaging negative attitudes.
