Authors: Sapori Frederico Bernardo , Almeida Laura Moreira , Canêdo Laryssa Marques , Trancoso Gabriel Wernesbach Bregonci , Segundo Aline Benezath
Published: October 2024

A orientação médica adequada sobre os efeitos colaterais dos benzodiazepínicos é fundamental para garantir o uso seguro e eficaz desses medicamentos. A conscientização sobre os riscos cognitivos, físicos e psicológicos, assim como o potencial de dependência, deve ser parte integral do processo de prescrição, especialmente para populações vulneráveis. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade e a eficácia das orientações médicas fornecidas aos pacientes acerca dos efeitos colaterais do uso de benzodiazepínicos. Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão narrativa da literatura, utilizando as bases de dados SciELO e LILACS, com a seleção de artigos publicados entre 2021 e 2024. Após análise do resultados, concluiu-se que a qualidade das orientações médicas sobre os benzodiazepínicos é fundamental para garantir seu uso seguro, uma vez que a falta de informações claras pode levar ao uso inadequado e ao aumento dos riscos à saúde. Estratégias de comunicação personalizadas e proativas, como o uso de materiais educativos e o acompanhamento contínuo, são essenciais para minimizar os efeitos adversos e promover uma maior adesão ao tratamento.
INCESTO FRATERNO NAS PROPOSIÇÕES PARA UMA REFORMA EDUCATIVA EM MARIE BONAPARTE
Authors: Ribeiro Sarug Dagir , Moura Paloma Graciano de Carvalho
Published: October 2024

O objetivo do presente trabalho consiste em analisar os argumentos de Bonaparte em duas vinhetas clínicas de incestos fraternos à luz das suas proposições de reforma educativa da década de 1930. A fim de atingir esse propósito, ancoramos nossa metodologia no método laplancheano de fazer trabalhar os textos psicanalíticos  vertendo deles  o descentramento radical do sujeito por meio da afirmação da prioridade do outro e do sexual na constituição psíquica. Para Bonaparte os episódios de incesto fraterno possuem dois desfechos para o desenvolvimento psicossexual, sobretudo, da menina: um benéfico (álgebra da sedução) e outro desastroso (álgebra do abuso).  Nossos resultados demostram que a teoria bonaparteana da profilaxia infantil das neuroses acolhe a possibilidade do incesto entre irmãos de modo menos traumático e até benéfico.
How Ukrainians Perceive Emotions and Colours: An Analysis of Specific Features
Authors: Milutina Katerina , Balashevych Oleksandra , Zarubin Illia
Published: October 2024

The study presents research results on the associative connection between emotions and colours among Ukrainian-speaking and non-Ukrainian-speaking Ukrainians. It aims to confirm or refute the constancy of associations between the ten differential emotions identified by C. Izard and different colours, as well as the specificity of the relationship of these associations for the Ukrainian-speaking audience compared to the non-Ukrainian-speaking one. The survey questionnaire comprised a socio-demographic section, which incorporated a query regarding the language that the respondents learned to speak initially. The methodology was based on the free association method, where the stimulus material consisted of the names of ten specified emotions, and the respondents were expected to provide the colours that came to mind first. The study involved 127 participants aged between 18 and 60, of whom 109 were female and 18 were male. The study showed a constant associative relationship ratio between emotions and colours. In contrast, this ratio's specificity in the Ukrainian sample was not supported compared to the non-Ukrainian sample. This finding highlights the need for further research into the influence of language, culture, and individuality on colour perception in modern conditions. The second result shows that some emotions have more associative colours than others, indicating the existence of emotion colour attributes. It allows for the analysis of the uniqueness of each individual's experience of different emotions.

LEX FORI CONCURSUS AS THE BASIC RULE IN THE INTERNATIONAL BANKRUPTCY
Authors: Čolović Vladimir
Published: October 2024

The rule lex fori concursus determines the law of place of the initiation of the bankruptcy proceeding as a law to be applied in these proceedings, i.e., that is the law of head office or branch of bankruptcy debtor or of the place where we can find debtor’s assets. Lex fori concursus is used as a basic rule of international bankruptcy, with which explains the conduct of the main and more secondary bankruptcy proceedings against the same debtor, as well as the interdependence of these proceedings. However, the Regulation 848/2015 on insolvency proceedings provides for the possibility of avoiding initiation of secondary bankruptcy proceedings. Then, creditors, charge their claims in the special proceedings which are not secondary bankruptcy proceeding. The trustee from the main bakruptcy proceeding decides about that. Also, the Regulation 848/2015 on insolvency proceedings provides for the possibility of initiation of bankruptcy proceeding against the member or members of affiliated companies. The paper explains the status and application of the rule lex fori concursus in these cases. Attention is paid to the application of this rule in the Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency (UNCITRAL).

Published: October 2024

Software testing ensures seamless user experience that is achievable through manual or automated testing. Automated testing offers benefits, such as time reduction and parallel task execution. Physical device farms are used to conduct automated tests across different Android versions. The Software Test Execution Lab for Automation (STELA), designed as a Physical Device Farm, was recently implemented at a software institute by an automation team. This tool, housed in a lab with a capacity of 400 mobile devices, aided the testing team in executing automated tests. Interviews with 22 testing team members highlighted time optimization and a simplified interface as the primary benefits of STELA. Since its implementation, approximately 979 tests have been conducted, saving approximately 1915 minutes. This study examines the pros and cons of using a Physical Device Farm for software testing.
Towards Random Elixir Code Generation
Authors: Facchi Bernardo Beltrame , Braga Andrei de Almeida Sampaio , Du Bois André Rauber , Feitosa Samuel da Silva
Published: October 2024

Developers expect compilers to be correct. Unfortunately, these tools are not entirely bug-free. A failure introduced by the compiler could compromise a critical system and consequently have catastrophic consequences, specially in applications of great complexity, affecting both end users and developers. Such failures can lead to significant financial losses, security vulnerabilities, and a loss of trust in the software’s reliability. Therefore, testing and validating all the compiler functionalities to assure its correctness is essential given their importance in software development. In light of the given context, this paper describes a random code generation tool using Haskell that generates well-typed Elixir code by adhering to a specified syntax and typing rules, which serves as input for property-based tests, striving to contribute to the overall quality and dependability of software systems built using Elixir.
Identity Politics, Natural Law, and Human Dignity
Authors: Hilderman Nalani E. ,   Institute for Interdisciplinary Research
Published: October 2024

Rooted in Marxism and Critical Theory, identity politics upended traditional philosophical anthropology about personhood, and argues that identity is wholly manifested through economic group, social class, gender, or racial categories. Humans are ontologically viewed through their status as victims, not as fully integrated moral persons. Touted as a political issue, identity politics is at heart a philosophical and anthropological problem, and to address it one must return to a better understanding of the soul and human dignity. The resurrection of the classical Natural Law tradition is the remedy for finding common ground and rebuilding civil society, for at the heart of Natural Law is the belief in human dignity which imbues every human being with worth to be honored and respected regardless of race, sex, age, or different culture or religion. Classical Natural Law provides the theological, philosophical, and definitional background for human dignity and only if it is resurrected can “the discontent” in American culture be fully human again.
The Critical Contagion: Gender and Critical Race Theories
Authors: Butcher Jonathan M. ,   Institute for Interdisciplinary Research
Published: October 2024

Queer theory or critical gender studies are close relatives of critical race theory. The original critical race theorists stressed that their worldview also encapsulated radical theories on “gender.” The term “gender” is ambiguous. Humans are born male or female--designed to produce either sperm or eggs, even in cases of individuals with biological abnormalities. Individuals, including young children, can be confused about their biological sex, now a cultural contagion leading young people to make irreversible changes to their bodies. Culturally, a society should show empathy and offer to help young people through counseling and guidance, but we do not help children when we affirm his or her choice to assume a gender that conflicts with their biology.

Besides, the playwright's worthwhile clue towards the capitalist world-order driving people towards absolute wretchedness will also be highlighted.
Feminist Demands in the Victorian Period The Novel “Jessie Phillips” by F. Trollope
Authors: Memeti Suzana Ibraimi
Published: October 2024

The 1850s marked the beginning of the Feminist Movement. Feminism till that time had been an individual issue and even an indirect protest. After 1850, the Feminist Movement strengthened more and more and was bypassing the grievances expressed from time to time. There were a number of reasons for this: women's suffrage, women's admission to higher education, marriage and property laws, and the demands and prospects of unmarried women. These bold attitudes of this decade manifested themselves through three kinds of writing, controversy, and treatments. The basis of Harriet Taylor's observation was the report published in the New York Tribune on the "Convention on the Rights of Women" which called for equality in education, employment in industry and political rights. This American example of women's rights later influenced the Feminist Movement in England. It is interesting that Taylor's attitude was uncompromising. The novel "Jessie Phillips" is one of the first interesting novels that brings a benevolent story about the fate of stigmatized women, including elements of class consciousness and sexual policy.

These days, it’s hard to picture communication without such tools. However, the significance of this argument lies in how these advances have changed how we use language. Nowadays, acronyms like LOL, ASAP; OFC, etc. are nearly universally used. Even the term “Netizen,” or “citizen of the Internet,” is used to describe those who do their business and communicate regularly online. Language experts from all around the world are disputing whether these changes have had a negative effect or whether they have led to the formation of a universal language.
HOLOCAUST IN EDUCATION — CULLING THE DIARY OF ANA FRANK FROM THE CURRICULUM FOR SLOVENIAN (2018/2019)
Authors: Blažić Milena Mileva
Published: October 2024

The article will present the theme of the Holocaust in the curricula for Slovene in three social systems (1984, 1998, and 2019). Based on a literary analysis of children's writing (diaries, poems and commemorative books) during the Holocaust. Special attention will be paid to Anne Frank’s Diary of 12-year-old Anne Frank (1942-1944). The Holocaust Museum in the US has about 70 digitized children's diaries (manuscripts and translations into English).  At the Yad Vashem Memorial Centre in Israel, there is an exhibition Children in the Holocaust, which presents albums, diaries, toys, books, personal items, letters, oisbetjum postcards, drawings and commemorative books. The Museum of Contemporary History in Celje collects the diaries and commemorations of the so-called stolen children (The Diary of Slavka Preložnik and the Pepce Medved Memorial Book) and the Pesmarica Justine Marolt (NUK). Ana Frank’s diary has been next to the Bible since 2009, Grimm’s fairy tales on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The decision is of the opinion that, because of all the above, it is indispensable to exclude the Diary of Ana Frank from the Curriculum for Slovenian (2018/2019).
ORPHEUS FROM HELL - A selection of songs from the concentration camps performed by Aleksander Kulisiewicz
Authors: Blažić Milena Mileva , Kovačič Jani
Published: October 2024

Jani Kovačič, singer-song writer and prof. of philosophy in Gimnasium Ljubljana, have selected 23 songs by Aleksander Kulisiewicz: 15 songs from the CD Songs from the Depths of Hell (1979), 7 songs from the record Ballads and Broadsides: Songs from Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp 1940–1945 (2008), one song from the record Chants de la deportation (Songs of the Deportation, 1975) and one from the book Adresse: Sachsenhausen, Literarische Momentaufnamen aus den KZ (Address: Sachsenhausen, Literary Records of Moments from the Concentration Camp, 1997). Simona Klemenčič and I translated them from Polish and German. From the records and pre-war recordings, I transcribed the tunes and fitted them with harmonies. Each nation has its own story of pogrom and suffering in the Second World War. This one is from the life of Aleksander Kulisiewicz. Kulisiewicz adapted folk songs and schlager of that era to the situation, the theme and the text. The prisoners also sang these songs in their own way. Last but not least, Kulisiewicz also dictated and wrote down by his memory. He played the guitar, so I also decided to play it myself. I compared the songs to the original tunes and arranged them according to Kulisiewicz’s performance. The performance is dedicated to the human will to live and to eternal optimism, though it may seem dark at times.
UNITED STATES FOREIGN INTERVENTIONS IN ITALY AND KOREA
Authors: Bledar Kurti  , Arburim Iseni
Published: October 2024

The Communist victory in the Italian elections of April 1948, prompted fear to the American administration and U.S. foreign policy makers. The first numbered document issued by the National Security Council, NSC 1/1 of November 14th, 1947 warned that “The Italian Government, ideologically inclined toward Western democracy, is weak and is being subjected to continuous attack by a strong Communist Party.” The NSC recommended, in addition to public support for the beleaguered Italian government, a programme to “actively combat Communist propaganda in Italy by an effective U.S. information programme and by all other practicable means, including the use of undeclared funds.” President Truman approved NSC 1/1 on November 24th. On December 14th, the President signed NSC 4/A giving responsibility for “psychological warfare” to the CIA. A week later, the agency set up the Special Procedures Group (SPG), which laundered over $10 million from captured Axis funds for use in the Italian election campaign. This paper examines the United States foreign interventions in Italy and Korea dictated by the fear of the spread of Communism in Italy and Korea during the cold war.

Authors: Mukwesi Christian , Mubasha Sacre , Mucyo Hubert , Twahirwa Fabrice
Published: October 2024

Abstract:
Background: Nosocomial infections, occurring >48 hours after admission without evidence of pre-existing incubation, pose a significant challenge in intensive care units (ICUs), particularly for patients with prolonged hospital stays. In the 21st century, these infections affect approximately 10% of hospitalized patients, with higher rates observed in ICU settings. They contribute to extended hospitalization, disability, and economic burden. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of preventive measures in controlling nosocomial infections at Rwanda Military Hospital's ICU.
 Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients admitted to the ICU at Rwanda Military Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020. Data on nosocomial infections were retrieved from OpenClinic HMIS software, ICU registries, and patient files. Statistical analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel 21 and SPSS 21.
Findings: Among 531 ICU admissions during the study period, 18% were identified with nosocomial infections. The infection rate was slightly higher in males (20%) compared to females (16.5%), with Enterobacteriaceae bacteria being the most common pathogens identified (35%).

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of Business Administration, Premier University, Bangladesh., Begum Rahima
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to look at the connections between 352 employees of private companies in Bangladesh and their perceptions of work-related issues and work-life balance. In order to emphasize the features and importance of the different study factors, a descriptive research approach was adopted. 352 workers of private businesses in Bangladesh were asked to complete a well-structured questionnaire in order to get primary data. Regression models and factor analysis were employed in the data analysis. The method used by the researcher was a convenient random sample. The study underwent a reliability test. For the independent and dependent variables, the Cronbach's alpha values are 0.850 and 0.770, respectively. The study's regression analysis showed a connection between perceived work-related characteristics and work-life balance (like workplace flexibility, paid time off, and paternity leave) as well as demographic factors (like marital status, work time, income, and tenure) among employees in private organizations. The researcher established that these elements affected work-life balance. This research may provide managers with the necessary knowledge to determine the optimal way to develop work-related components, such as employee work-life balance.
The Influence of Corporate Governance on Risk Management: Assessing the Impact of Board Composition and Shareholding in Saudi Arabia’s Insurance Industry
Authors:   PhD Student, University of International Business and Economics (UIBE), Beijing, China., Assiri Amer
Published: October 2024

Effective corporate governance plays a critical role in managing risks and aligning stakeholder interests within the Saudi Arabian insurance sector. Despite significant progress since the 2006 financial crisis, challenges remain in aligning practices with international standards, particularly in board composition and shareholding. This study evaluates the relationship between corporate governance elements such as board composition and board shareholding and their impact on risk management in Saudi insurance companies. Using correlation and regression analyses, the study finds no significant relationship between board composition and risk management. Similarly, board shareholding showed no significant impact on risk outcomes. The study recommends enhancing regulatory standards to increase board diversity and independence, along with specialized training for risk management committees to effectively mitigate risks.

Authors: Liu Qiang , Zhu Wanyu , Ye Hailong
Published: October 2024

In this article, we study initial-boundary problems for   fourth-order nonlinear parabolic equations modeling thin film growth with  Caputo-type time fractional derivative.  By means of the theory of abstract fractional calculus and  \(L^p-L^q\) estimates, we establish the existence and uniqueness of local mild solutions in the spaces  \(C([0,T]; L^{\frac{\beta N}{2-\beta}}(\Omega))\) with \(1<\beta<2\). Moreover, the local solutions can be extended globally if the initial  data is sufficiently small.

Asymptotic analysis of sign-changing transmission problems with rapidly oscillating interface
Authors: Bunoiu Renata , Ramdani Karim , Timofte Claudia
Published: October 2024

We study the asymptotic behavior of a  sign-changing transmission problem,  stated in a symmetric oscillating domain obtained by gluing together a  positive and a negative material, separated by an imperfect and rapidly  oscillating interface.  The interface separating  the two heterogeneous materials has a periodic  microstructure and  is a small perturbation of a flat interface.  The solution of the transmission problem is continuous and its flux has a  jump on the oscillating interface. Under certain conditions on the  properties of the two materials, we derive the limit problem and we prove  the convergence result. The T-coercivity method is used to  handle the lack of coercivity for both the microscopic and the macroscopic  limit problems.

Published: October 2024

Introducción: La seguridad de los pacientes en el quirófano es un desafío constante para los enfermeros quirúrgicos debido a la naturaleza de alto riesgo de las intervenciones quirúrgicas. La comunicación deficiente entre los equipos médicos y la capacitación insuficiente pueden aumentar la probabilidad de eventos adversos. Metodología: Para la recolección de información se utilizaron bases de datos como Scielo, Biblioteca Virtual en Salud, OMS, Google Académico y PubMed. Se aplicó el método PRISMA para la clasificación y selección de estudios, revisando un total de 45 artículos, de los cuales 25 se consideraron relevantes para el análisis. Resultados: Los hallazgos indican que los eventos adversos en entornos quirúrgicos afectan entre el 3% y el 16% de los pacientes. Aunque la implementación de la Lista de Verificación de Cirugía Segura ha demostrado ser efectiva en la reducción de estos eventos, su aplicación enfrenta varios desafíos, como la falta de formación y la resistencia cultural en algunos entornos quirúrgicos. Conclusión: Es evidente que, si bien existen herramientas y protocolos para mejorar la seguridad quirúrgica, su efectividad depende en gran medida de la capacitación continua y el compromiso de todo el equipo médico. La revisión sugiere que muchos de los eventos adversos son prevenibles. Destaca la necesidad de reforzar la formación y sensibilización sobre la importancia de las prácticas seguras, garantizando la participación activa de todos los profesionales de salud en la seguridad quirúrgica.
An Overview of Health Care Support of Intimate Partner Violence Survivors
Authors:   College of Law, Kampala International University, Uganda, Obisesan Olawunmi Opeyemi
Published: October 2024

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) has severe physical and psychological effects on survivors. Despite growing awareness, accessing comprehensive health care remains a challenge for many survivors. This review aims to assess the impact of IPV on the survivors, health care needs, and interventions for IPV survivors, evaluate their effectiveness, and identify areas for improvement. This paper reviewed literature and guidelines from reputable journals with a focus on studies about health care support, including interventions and outcomes for IPV survivors. The paper found there is a need for routine IPV screening in health settings, effective multidisciplinary care, and better training for healthcare providers. Barriers such as stigma, resource limitations, and inadequate referral systems were common. Survivors also face difficulties accessing the healthcare system due to fear and confidentiality issues. Quality and effective support requires universal screening, trauma-informed care, and accessible services. While some practices are beneficial, there is a need for standard and improved provider training. Policymakers should focus on overcoming systemic barriers and enhancing support services. The support system for IPV survivors is improving but still faces significant challenges. Addressing these issues through better policies, resources, and training is crucial for providing effective care and reducing the long-term impact of IPV.
