La función de un estímulo como reforzador depende de la estimulación concurrente
Authors: Bruner Carlos A. ,   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Roca Alicia ,   Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
Published: August 2024

En la primera parte de este trabajo se describen algunos experimentos sobre el Beber Inducido por el Programa de Reforzamiento (BIP) con ratas. Los resultados de estos experimentos se pueden clasificar conforme a dos enfoques diferentes. Los datos del primer enfoque muestran que es posible controlar la respuesta que produce el agua con a diferentes programas de reforzamiento intermitente con agua, sugiriendo que la producción de agua es el verdadero reforzador en los experimentos sobre el BIP. Los datos del segundo enfoque muestran que el agua adquiere una función como reforzador durante las sesiones de BIP porque bajo privación de comida el consumo de agua sigue cercanamente el consumo de comida. Los resultados de estos experimentos sugieren que en lugar de ver al BIP como una tercera clase de conducta, el BIP se reduce a condicionamiento operante.
Conducta y Conducta
Authors: Roca i Balasch Joseph ,   Liceu Psicològic
Published: August 2024

El concepto de "Conducta" tiene dos significados en el ámbito de la psicología. El primero es el de acción que un individuo ejecuta. El segundo significado es el de relación que se establece entre elementos de una asociación. Si hablamos significando acción, coincidimos con el sentido ordinario de este término y conectarnos también con el hablar científico y técnico que lo asume; tal es el caso del discurso de la psicología diferencial y de los discursos presentes en la psicología aplicada. Si hablamos significando relación, asumimos el sentido funcional del concepto. Es entonces cuando podemos construir una teoría psicológica coherente y aceptable en el contexto de las otras ciencias funcionales naturales.
Théorie des Cadres Relationnels (R.F.T.) et Thérapie par l'Acceptation et l'Engagement (A.C.T.): couturiers de l'empereur ou chevaliers du Graal?
Authors: Routier Cédric P. ,   Equipe C.-S.I.S. (I.S.T.C., Lille,   G.H.-I.C.L.,   I.C.L.)
Published: August 2024

Théorie des Cadres Relationnels (Hayes, Bames-Holmes et Roche, 2001) et Thérapie par l' Acceptation et l'Engagement (Hayes, Strosahl et Wilson. 1999) sont les deux versants d'une même proposition récente en matière d'analyse de la cognition et du langage humains: le premier analyse et explique les phénomènes concernés sur un plan théorique, fournissant un arrière-plan dans lequel le second vient plonger ses racines pour mieux développer des pratiques propres. Les auteurs insistent à la fois sur leur ancrage néo-béhavioriste, inspiré de Kantor et de Skinner, et sur leur capacité à appréhender des domaines jusqu'ici investis par les modèles cognitivistes: nous nous interrogeons sur la légitimité de certaines de leurs prétentions. Nous évoquons la parenté de leur insistance sur le rôle du contexte avec celle d'auteurs approchant la communication come un processus. Nous relevons également l'attachement de Hayes et ses collaborateurs à certains principes forts de l'analyse des comportements. Nous soulignons enfin les promesses, mais aussi les dangers, des choix conceptuels des auteurs et concluons par deux métaphores complémentaires, annoncées par notre titre.
Estate Planning: Stepped-Up Tax Basis
Authors: Meyer Anastasia
Published: August 2024

A key consideration in estate planning is the transfer of assets to the next generation as 98% of farms are family owned and operated. Additionally, active operators or retired farmers own 75% of U.S. farmland (AgAmerica, 2023). As the average age of an operator increases, there is going to be a large transfer of farmland and other assets in the future whether by gifting, selling, or passing the farm to the next generation through inheritance.

Stepped-up basis is a tax provision that allows the value of an inherited asset to be adjusted to its fair market value at the time of the original owner's death. This adjustment increases the asset's basis, which is the value used to determine capital gains or losses when the asset is eventually sold by the heir. By stepping up the basis to the asset's current market value, any appreciation that occurred during the original owner's lifetime is not subject to capital gains tax, potentially reducing the tax liability significantly for the heir upon the sale of the asset. Although long-term capital gains are taxed at a lower rate relative to other types of income, the rapid appreciation of agricultural assets over someone’s lifetime make them a concern for people looking to sell assets in retirement or people inheriting farm or ranch assets.
THE ERA OF TRANSPARENCY: AUDITOR’S JUDGEMENT OF KEY AUDIT MATTER AND AUDIT QUALITY
Authors: Yulianto Ahmad Rudi , Lokman Norziana , Mohd Razali Fazlida
Published: August 2024

This paper discusses the theoretical influence of key audit matter and audit quality. This paper discusses a literature study method approach to explore the possible impact of key audit matters (KAMs) and audit quality. In particular, the authors believe implementing key audit matters can largely affect audit risk, going concern evaluation and audit response procedures, which in the end can influence on audit quality. Implementation of key audit matters in Indonesia began in 2022, audit firms are strongly advised to prepare better audit working papers and mitigate audit risks. This can help them consider matters that require the auditor's significant attention, which in turn is hoped can increase the flexibility and effectiveness of communication between auditees and auditors. In addition, the author recommends that regulators or audit oversight boards require the application of boards to apply key audit matters to all audit work, not just mandatory for listed companies. It is hoped that this rule will help audit companies work more carefully in dealing with audit risks, which appear to be positively related to audit quality. As far as the author knows, limited educational study has explored the possible influence of key audit matters (KAMs) on audit quality in Indonesia. Therefore, this paper reduces the research gap in the audit literature. On the other hand, this paper can be used as a foundation for developing research instruments (e.g., questionnaires, interviews, or content analysis) to grant empirical evidence.

The problem from the 16th century until now was about a very stupid human invention, namely turning checks or bonds into money. Where this check has no intrinsic value in each piece. Even though humans have made very big discoveries using gold and silver coins with standard sizes for transactions. For this reason, this article was written to provide a solution to a monetary system that uses FIATCurrency  which is unfair and violates human rights by stealing other people's wealth as the amount of money created increases. Where everyone must get justice and security in terms of the assets they own. This systematic theft must be resolved as soon as possible. This research method is a literature review using primary and secondary sources. The research results show that FIAT's solution to the dangers has been proven to be unjust to humans and detrimental to many people and even countries. The solution is to return to the Barter system. bartering can be a more equitable and sustainable measure for humanity, avoiding dependency and inflation on 'unique pieces of paper' that lose their value over time and restoring more basic values ​​related to life and natural resources.

Published: August 2024

Expanding populations of mesopredators threaten biodiversity and human health in many ecosystems across the world. Lethal control through harvest is commonly implemented as a mitigation measure, yet the effects of harvest and its interaction with environmental conditions on mesopredator population dynamics have rarely been assessed quantitatively due to data constraints. Recent advances involving integrated populations models (IPMs) have enabled promising alternative approaches for quantitative assessments. Efficient use of multiple datasets, together with the ability to account for bias and uncertainty, make IPMs ideal tools for studying impacts of management actions and environmental conditions on harvested populations for which limited data is available. Here we developed a versatile IPM workflow for studying mesopredator population dynamics under different harvest regimes and applied it to an expanding population of red foxes in Arctic Norway. Our model combined routinely collected data on age, reproductive status, and genetic variation from >3600 harvested red foxes with opportunistic field observations and information published on red foxes elsewhere. This allowed us to quantify population dynamics over a period of 18 years, and to identify the drivers of changes in population growth rates using retrospective (Life Table Response Experiments, LTREs) and prospective (population viability analyses, PVAs) perturbation analyses. We found no long-term trends in population size over the course of our study period, not least due to intense harvest limiting the growth potential of the population. On shorter, year-to-year timescales, however, the numbers of red foxes could change dramatically due to responses of natural mortality and immigration to fluctuations in the availability of rodent prey. Our study highlights the potential of integrated modelling approaches for studying population dynamics even when no structured surveys of living animals are available and illustrates the value of extracting and curating information from harvested animals. Our semi-automated and reproducible modelling workflow is ready to be re-run periodically when new data becomes available for our study population and can easily be transferred and adapted to other harvested species, contributing to the development of cost-effective population analyses that are of high relevance for informing management strategies and mitigating biodiversity loss in practice.

Authors: Hidayatullah Ismail  , Mochammad Novendri S  , Khairunnas Jamal  , Dasman Yahya Ma’ali
Published: August 2024

This paper examines the resonance of the apocalypse in Abdurrahman Shiddiq's poetry and its relevance to the Qur'an. The problem raised is how the concept of doomsday described in Abdurrahman Shiddiq's poetry is in harmony with the teachings of the Qur'an. The purpose of this study is to explore and analyze the representation of the apocalypse in poetry and find the relevance and harmony with the verses of the Qur'an. The research method used is a qualitative method with a contextual thematic approach. The primary data used are Abdurrahman Shiddiq's poetries related to the theme of doomsday, while secondary data include Qur'anic commentaries and relevant literature. The analysis was conducted by comparing the description of the apocalypse in the poems with Qur'anic verses as well as examining scholars' interpretations of the theme. The results of the analysis show that Abdurrahman Shiddiq's poetries reflect a deep understanding of the concept of doomsday that is in line with the teachings of the Qur'an. The poetries contain strong moral and spiritual messages, reminding humanity of the coming of the Day of Judgment and the importance of living life with an awareness of the afterlife. This finding confirms that literature can be an effective medium for conveying religious messages that are relevant to sacred texts.
A Socio-Historical Mapping of Translation Fields from Bourdieu’s Perspective: The Field of English Self-Help Literature in Arabic Translations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Authors: Alqarni Abdullah , Altalidi Bandar , Sahari Yousef
Published: August 2024

This article enhances the application of Pierre Bourdieu’s social field as a heuristic conceptual tool for delineating the boundaries of translations as fields of cultural production, integrated with bibliographical research. This approach provides insights into the boundaries, agents, production, practices, and socio-historical context of the respective translation fields. Through the integration of Bourdieu’s field as a theoretical framework and bibliographical research as a methodological framework, this article assesses the quality of the application of each of them in the sociological investigation of translation fields. This article uses the postulated field of “Arabic Translations of English self-help books in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (henceforth KSA) from 1982 to 2016” as a showcase through which this combination of theoretical and methodological frameworks can be advanced to study other fields of translation across different temporal and geographical locations and among various language pairs. Through the compilation of a bibliographical database of 993 self-help translations, this article provides an example of how fields of translation can be theoretically and methodologically bounded and mapped in sociological investigations.

Authors: Abdullahi Hudu Ramalan , Dogara Muhammad Umar , Itodo Joy Iyojo , Musa Muhammad Makama
Published: August 2024

The study aimed to assess the impact of incorporating rumen liquor sugar cane scrapping meal (RLFSCSM) into rabbit diets on growth performance, body weight and haemotological indices. A total of 24 mixed breed grower rabbits of similar live weight (700 – 832g) were used and subjected to a Completely Randomized Designed (CRD) with 4 treatments, 3 replicate having 2 rabbits each. The rabbit diets were formulated to replace maize at different percentages 0, 10, 20 and 30% representing T1, T2, T3, and T4 respectively. Feeding and other routine management practices were strictly adhered to according to standard practices throughout the experimental period. The results showed a p<0.05 increase in the total weight gain (676.83g/rabbit), average daily gain (19.34 g/rabbit) and average daily feed intake (73.29g/rabbit). Additionally, Logistics 3P and Gompertz 3P predicted the highest growth rate of rabbits 935.599 and 935.582 g/rabbits at the age of 3 weeks. However, haematological parameters showed mixed effects, with a decrease in hemoglobin (10.77 to 10.50g/dL) and packed cell volume (35.50 to 33.66%) at certain inclusion levels of RLFSCSM but increases at higher levels. Red blood cell count remained relatively stable across treatments, while mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration improved (21.67 pg and 31.67 g/L) with increasing RLFSCSM levels. White blood cell counts and mean corpuscular volume were unaffected by RLFSCSM inclusion. It was concluded that diet containing 30% RLFSCSM could improve general performance and health without detrimental effects when fed to grower rabbit.

The major universal challenge on our planet is the issue of establishing food security for a rapidly increasing population in the world. Farmers all over the world focus on using new innovations and technologies for enhancing the production and storage of crops through intensive and extensive agriculture. The current efforts lead to the formation of nanopesticides and nanobiopesticides (NBPs) which has been made possible by advances in nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is one of the promising areas to boost the availability of food and to manufacture newer products for beneficial purposes in agriculture, food, water, the environment, medicine, energy, and electronics.NBPs are made using a variety of surfactants, polymers, nanoemulsions, nanocapsules, and metal nanoparticles with sizes in the nanometer range. These NBPs with an elevated surface-to-volume ratio are able to target organisms more effectively and persistently than traditional pesticides because of their physical characteristics and may continue to be effective for longer periods of time. In comparison to conventional pesticides, NBPs have the potential to improve the environment by decreasing toxicity, extending the shelf life of agricultural produce with the aid of nanoparticles, and enhancing the solubility of pesticides that are poorly soluble in water. However, the commercialization of NBPs faces significant obstacles due to their applicability in real-world settings, legal compliance, and market acceptability. Enhancing the usage and spread of NBPs are beneficial in reducing the number of spread chemicals, minimize nutrient losses in fertilization, and increased yield through pest and nutrient management.

Striking the Right Chord: Legal Dynamics of Music Copyright Law in Malaysia
Authors: Ramakrishnan Liveernieesh
Published: August 2024

Copyright law is the bedrock of the music industry, governing the ownership, distribution and commercialisation of musical works and sound recordings. It serves as a linchpin that sustains the complex ecosystem made up of users, authors, and owners. Supported by various multifaceted justifications for its existence, the landscape of music copyright law in Malaysia is characterised by diversity and cultural richness. Despite being primarily governed by the Copyright Act 1987, which offers protection for both sound recordings and musical works, there remains a notable lack of awareness regarding the applicability of copyright law and possible infringements. Addressing this is imperative, alongside the need to align Malaysian copyright law with international standards. With the rapid advancement of the global music industry, ongoing efforts are essential to foster a thriving music industry that benefits creators, consumers, and owners. Therefore, this paper aims to comprehensively analyse and understand music copyright law in Malaysia and provide insights into the global issues shaping the field.

Published: August 2024

Islam has stipulated the giving of dowry from the husband to his wife through a marriage contract. It is a recognition related to property ownership rights for women that contains various wisdom. However, the setting of dowry rates has been practiced in Malaysia with various approaches and different sources of Shariah legislation in the states without any uniformity. Therefore, this study examines the highlights of its legalization, the history of its practice in the state of Pahang and presents suggestions for its improvement. The research methodology is qualitatively based on one main instrument which is library research. Meanwhile, the data analysis method is based on deductive and descriptive content analysis. Various issues arise such as the absence of a clear source of authority, lack of compliance with the objectives of its legislation, very significant value differences, the priority of valuable gifts, confusion in the community's understanding and its function as a socio-economic guarantee for women. Therefore, it is necessary to create a clear cause for resetting the dowry rate in the State of Pahang in order to be more in line with the wisdom of the legislation and make it compatible with the current economic value.
ABSTRAK
Islam telah mensyariatkan pemberian mahar daripada suami kepada isterinya melalui sebuah akad perkahwinan. Ia sebagai pengiktirafan berkaitan hak pemilikan harta kepada wanita yang mengandungi pelbagai hikmah. Walaubagaimanapun penetapan kadar mas kahwin telah diamalkan di Malaysia dengan pelbagai pendekatan dan perbezaan punca kuasa perundangan Syariah di negeri-negeri tanpa suatu keseragaman. Oleh yang demikian kajian ini meneliti sorotan pensyariatannya, sejarah pengamalannya di negeri Pahang serta mengemukakan cadangan penambahbaikannya. Metodologi kajian adalah secara kualitatif berdasarkan  satu instrumen utama iaitu kajian perpustakaan. Manakala, kaedah analisis data pula berasaskan analisis kandungan secara deduktif dan deskriptif. Pelbagai isu timbul seperti ketiadaan punca kuasa yang jelas, kurang menepati objektif pensyariatannya, perbezaaan nilai yang sangat ketara, keutamaan pemberian yang bernilai, kekeliruan kefahaman masyarakat dan fungsinya sebagai jaminan sosio-ekonomi wanita. Oleh yang demikian adalah suatu keperluan bagi mewujudkan satu punca yang jelas bagi penetapan semula kadar mas kahwin di Negeri Pahang agar lebih menepati hikmah pensyariatannya serta menjadikannya bersesuaian dengan nilaian ekonomi semasa.
Dilemma in Managing Airway in a Child with Pierre Robin Sequence and Narrative Review of Treatment Options
Authors: Khoo Su Ee , Saniasiaya Jeyasakthy , Kulasegarah Jeyanthi
Published: August 2024

Pierre Robin sequence (PRS) is characterized by facial abnormalities such as micrognathia, glossoptosis, and upper airway obstruction. Up to 90% of these children will present with cleft palate. Cleft palate is considered a common feature of PRS but is not a mandatory diagnostic characteristic. Premature diagnosis of PRS is prudent to plan and decide earlier on modes of airway management in infants with PRS, which, to date, remains a conundrum. We describe the challenges faced in managing an infant with PRS. We perform a narrative review of treatment options available for children with PRS and advocate for the role of early multidisciplinary teams in managing children with PRS.

You learn a lot by practicing medicine for years. For the two of us, this amounts to over 50 total years of experience since graduating from medical school. We may have forgotten a great deal, yet we remember how tough medical school was and that some mistakes could have been avoided by being better prepared. The purpose of this article is to review six points we wish we had known when we were medical students. Some of the points might be idiosyncratic mistakes whereas other points may be representative of larger shared patterns (we, ourselves, cannot distinguish). Our intent in sharing these points is to help the next generation avoid some of our own pitfalls.

The paper aims to analyze the marketing activities of innovation-oriented enterprises to ensure their sus[1]tainable operation in the target market segments, and to identify the specific features of developing a marketing strategy for an innovative startup taking into account the concepts of «Green Growth», circular economy and sustainable development, and to propose an algorithm for promoting eco-products and eco-services in the market. In this regard, the purpose of the article is to study the transformation of business processes of inno[1]vation-oriented enterprises towards the implementation of the principles of sustainable development, circular and «green» economy and, on this basis, to develop im[1]plementation measures for their introduction into the marketing strategy of an enterprise, taking into account the main trends in the development of society based on the principles of Industry 4.0 and the knowledge economy, especially in the conditions of the war and post-war periods. It is argued that in these conditions it is important to build a theoretical and methodolog[1]ical framework for ensuring the competitiveness of innovation-oriented enterprises, in particular, startups, by developing a strong marketing strategy; the need to reformat it towards the development of a «green» image (eco-brand) of the enterprise, increasing envi[1]ronmental awareness and environmental culture of the company’s management and staff, suppliers, partners, consumers, and other counterparties is emphasized.
As a result of the analysis, an algorithm for marketing promotion of «green’ products of the author's innova[1]tion-oriented startup was proposed. In the first stage, the algorithm involves planning and setting goals for product promotion according to the SMART principle, taking into account the concepts of circular and «green» economy, sustainable development, etc. After that, the main directions of strategic management of marketing activities are formed, relevant marketing tools are se[1]lected, and relevant measures are implemented. At the final stage, the effectiveness of the campaign, its com[1]ponents, etc. is evaluated, corrective actions are taken, and the results are used to plan and set goals for the next campaigns. Thus, the transformation of business processes towards the implementation of the principles of sustainable development, the concepts of «Green Growth», circular and «green» economy into the mar[1]keting strategy of innovation-oriented enterprises, tak[1]ing into account the main trends in the development of society based on the principles of Industry 4.0 and the knowledge economy, is being implemented.

Introducción: El orden Hymenoptera, considerado uno de los más megadiversos posee un papel fundamental en los ecosistemas, desempeñando roles como polinizadores, depredadores, parasitoides; siendo una útil opción para el control de plagas debido a que no supone una gran inversión por ende su viabilidad económica. Objetivos: Este estudio tiene como propósito conocer la abundancia y riqueza de Hymenoptera presentes en plantaciones forestales de Eucalyptus globulus en las provincias de Pichincha e Imbabura. Metodología: Para el inventario de Hymenoptera se utilizaron trampas de plato amarillo, además se ubicaron dos haciendas por cada provincia, en cada hacienda se establecieron tres puntos de muestreo en un gradiente altitudinal. La recolección se realizó en tres fechas diferentes. Se evaluó riqueza abundancia, diversidad de Hymenoptera; adicionalmente se muestreó la presencia y abundancia de Anaphes nitens. Resultados: En la hacienda de Itulcachi (Pichincha, 3131msnm), se logró recolectar 259 individuos pertenecientes a 19 familias; en la hacienda Paluguillo (Pichincha, 3030msnm), se logró recolectar 218 individuos pertenecientes a 17 familias; en la hacienda Magdalena (Imbabura, 2920msnm), se logró identificar la presencia de 346 individuos pertenecientes a 19 familias; en la hacienda Pisangacho (Imbabura, 2400msnm), se logró recolectar 141 individuos perteneciente 15 familias. En todas las haciendas muestreadas se encontró la presencia de Anaphes nitens. Conclusiones: Con base en la correlación aplicada se determinó que existe una relación entre variables de altitud y abundancia, es decir, a mayor altitud menor abundancia, a menor altitud mayor abundancia, existiendo así la posibilidad de aplicar control biológico en las plantaciones de Eucalyptus globulus Labill. Área de estudio general: Entomología. Área de estudio específica: Diversidad. Tipo de estudio: original.

Purpose: To assess the outcomes and implications of modifying SWAN protocol parameters on a 3 Tesla MRI for midbrain structure imaging in patients to detect signs of Parkinson’s disease. Material and methods: The study was conducted on 22 patients of both genders, ranging in age from 30 to 77 years. Protocols for the standard MRI brain examination and its two variations in the SWAN program, which involved reducing the slice thickness, were analyzed. Key parameters for the visualization of midbrain structures were identified, and subsequently evaluated by expert radiologists. Results: Parameters within the SWAN protocol for MRI scanning were identified, the modification of which enhances the clarity of nigrosome-1 visualization. It was established that thin-slice modifications of the brain scanning protocols (slice thicknesses of 1.2 and 2 mm) reveal early, diagnostically significant features of nigrosome-1 for Parkinson’s disease 3.4 to 4.1 times more frequently than the standard survey protocol with a slice thickness of 4 mm. Conclusion: The significance of selecting appropriate MRI protocol parameters for studying midbrain structures to enhance the visualization effectiveness of nigrosome-1 has been confirmed. Employing the SWAN sequence on a 3 Tesla MRI scanner with a slice thickness of 2 mm or less in a neurological department setting during routine Parkinson’s disease examinations achieves superior imaging results compared to conventional survey MRI protocols with a 4 mm slice thickness. This approach demonstrates high inter-rater reliability and aligns with European recommendations for neuroimaging.

Purpose: To demonstrate a clinical observation in which the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease with vasospastic coronary microvascular dysfunction was established mainly using 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT. Material and methods: In patient G.D.S., 39 years old by profession of an electric locomotive driver, who did not present any health complaints, oblique ST segment depression was registered during Holter monitoring on ECG. The following methods were used to establish the diagnosis: echocardiography, X-ray computed tomography (CT) to assess coronary artery calcinosis, single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with 99mTc-technetril to assess myocardial perfusion and contractile function on hybrid SPECT/CT system SymbiaT16 (Siemens), coronary angiography (CAG). Results: Only at examination on hybrid tomograph at rest and during physical activity (bicycle ergometer 125 W ‒ 5 minutes), sequentially applying in one diagnostic procedure two studies (CT and SPECT with 99mTc-MIBI) 26 study parameters were obtained (at CT ‒ 4 parameters evaluating coronary artery calcinosis, at SPECT ‒ 11 parameters of perfusion and 11 parameters of myocardial function). The absence of coronary artery calcinosis was revealed (which was confirmed by CAG), and the study at rest and during exercise revealed a decrease in perfusion (hence myocardial blood flow) in the apical-lateral (16-th segment); apex (17), apical-anterior (13), anterior-medial (7), anterolateral middle (12); irreversibility of perfusion defect, total and ischemic perfusion deficit. Conclusion: A clinical observation is demonstrated in which, only the use of hybrid SPECT/CT system allowed to establish the absence of coronary artery calcinosis and the decrease of perfusion (hence myocardial blood flow), irreversibility of perfusion defect, total and ischemic perfusion deficit (all listed indices had penultimate moderately pronounced degree).

The goals of Pharmacovigilance (PV) include early detection of new adverse reactions, broadening information on known reactions, identifying risk factors, comparing drug safety profiles, and effectively communicating safety information to healthcare professionals. In non-profit clinical research, PV activities often face challenges due to limited resources and training. An exploratory survey by the Italian Data Manager Group in 2022 highlighted critical issues in non-profit clinical trials, such as the lack of multidisciplinary support and insufficient training in PV. To strengthen PV in non-profit studies, continuous professional development and adequate resources are essential. Ensuring the presence of dedicated, well-trained professionals and promoting the use of updated tools and processes can significantly improve the management of PV activities, ultimately safeguarding patient health and maintaining high-quality research standards.
