Towards Humanistic Management in professional sports: How to make mobility and fan-related tourism more sustainable?
Authors: Zitzke Arne , Brand Alexander , Reiser Dirk
Published: August 2023

Ideas of (a more) humanistic management have taken hold in multiple tourism contexts. In particular, we can see this in specific niches of tourism such as sports-related mobility and adjacent forms of athlete and fan travel, it has become more commonplace to pay attention to questions of ecological integrity as well as sustainability. Rather than being mere rhetorical exercises to create the appearance of more responsible practices (a ‘CSR façade’), substantial changes seem to be underway, through which authentic transformation towards genuinely humanistic management practices may be possible. We take the case of the inclusion of sustainability considerations in the organisation of team and fan travel alongside professional football in Germany to highlight such incremental change. While far from constituting mass phenomena, any such reforms have the capacity to set a trend, and to re-orient business practices across larger industries. Based on a qualitative case study of five professional football teams in Germany and their recently adjusted mobility activities, we argue that sports-related tourism and mobility management has the capacity to create role models in steering societies towards more sustainable, and hence: more humanistic modes of action.
WRKY transcription factors and OBERON histone‐binding proteins form complexes to balance plant growth and stress tolerance

Published: August 2023

WRKY transcription factors in plants are known to be able to mediate either transcriptional activation or repression, but the mechanism regulating their transcriptional activity is largely unclear. We found that group IId WRKY transcription factors interact with OBERON (OBE) proteins, forming redundant WRKY‐OBE complexes in Arabidopsis thaliana. The coiled‐coil domain of WRKY transcription factors binds to OBE proteins and is responsible for target gene selection and transcriptional repression. The PHD finger of OBE proteins binds to both histones and WRKY transcription factors. WRKY‐OBE complexes repress the transcription of numerous stress‐responsive genes and are required for maintaining normal plant growth. Several WRKY and OBE mutants show reduced plant size and increased drought tolerance, accompanied by increased expression of stress‐responsive genes. Moreover, expression levels of most of these WRKY and OBE genes are reduced in response to drought stress, revealing a previously uncharacterized regulatory mechanism of the drought stress response. These results suggest that WRKY‐OBE complexes repress transcription of stress‐responsive genes, and thereby balance plant growth and stress tolerance.

A individualização que o DNA pode fornecer é inquestionável, e quando usado como uma ferramenta na esfera criminal atinge resultados positivos, podendo provar a inocência ou indicar os culpados. Entretanto, existem questões éticas ligadas à coleta do perfil genético devido à violação do direito fundamental dos indivíduos de não autoincriminação. No Brasil, com a lei 12.654/12 tornou-se possível à criação do banco de perfis genéticos, demonstrando resultados satisfatórios em relação a crimes não solucionados. Além disso, apresenta um número significativo de investigações auxiliadas após as inserções dos perfis genéticos no banco, e pode ser considerado como uma ferramenta essencial no combate ao crime. Casos como o da Rachel Genofre e do estuprador de Goiás ganharam uma grande repercussão, pois com o uso do banco de perfis genéticos foi possível identificar a autoria dos crimes. Além dos fins de investigação e aplicação da lei, o banco pode ser utilizado para identificação de pessoas desaparecidas e restos mortais em desastres, como ocorreu em brumadinho/MG. Este trabalho tem como objetivo a realização de uma revisão bibliográfica, tendo como enfoque o DNA e sua importância em análises no meio criminalístico, para isso foi consultado livros, revistas e artigos, com datas relativamente atuais. Com a alimentação do banco de perfil genético de criminosos e com a precisão que o DNA de um indivíduo fornece, espera-se um aumento na taxa brasileira de resolução de crimes e ainda os erros sobre a autoria do mesmo serão evitados.
Violência doméstica contra a mulher durante a pandemia do COVID-19: a experiência no Núcleo de Odontologia Legal-IML-SP
Authors: Campos Karla , Munhoz Luciana
Published: August 2023

O isolamento social provocado pela Pandemia do COVID-19 fez com que as mulheres ficassem confinadas em casa com seus companheiros. O aumento dos casos de violência doméstica motivou a necessidade de constatar se houve aumento nos casos de lesão corporal decorrentes de violência doméstica contra mulheres atendidos no Núcleo de Odontologia Legal do Instituto Médico Legal de São Paulo. Como metodologia, foram coletados dados dos laudos de lesão corporal em mulheres dos anos de 2018 a 2020, separando-se os anos pandêmicos dos não pandêmicos. Os dados analisados foram idade, grau de instrução, etnia, gravidade da lesão, agente lesivo, área do sistema estomatognático atingida e grau de parentesco ou convivência com o agressor. A análise dos dados coletados mostrou que houve queda no número de atendimentos durante a pandemia, mas aumento em agressões contra mulheres e de violência doméstica contra mulheres no período pandêmico, sendo que houve aumento em todas as faixas etárias. Os dados sobre grau de instrução e sobre os agentes lesivos não mostraram diferenças entre os períodos, e os sobre etnia mostraram pequeno aumento nas mulheres autodeclaradas pardas no período pandêmico e nas agressões por companheiros em detrimentos de outros agressores. A análise dos dados também mostrou aumento percentuais nas lesões classificadas como graves e em lesões nos dentes anteriores. Conclui-se, portanto, que houve um aumento percentual casos de violência doméstica contra mulher.

Authors: Garzón Garzón Eliana Katherine , Parra Rodríguez Vanessa , Castillo Cruz Diana Marcela , Camacho Camacho Hernando
Published: August 2023

La calidad de vida laboral es la satisfacción de los trabajadores ante la variedad de actividades, recursos y resultados generados de la participación en el lugar de trabajo, cuando los colaboradores perciben un gusto por su puesto de trabajo, se estimula la capacidad de trabajar, se demuestra interés y se realizan las tareas asignadas sin ningún inconveniente, aumentando así  la satisfacción por el trabajo, aceptando labores desafiantes, persistiendo y adaptándose al cambio sin necesidad de abandonar su puesto de trabajo lo que genera productividad individual y organizacional, que se traduce en desempeño institucional. 

En el presente artículo se realiza un análisis comparativo entre las dimensiones de calidad de vida laboral de diferentes organizaciones de Colombia, América Latina y Europa donde se identifican las dimensiones que se tienen en común y se analiza el aporte positivo que estas dimensiones generan en el desempeño de los trabajadores del sector solidario. 

La metodología utilizada en este artículo de investigación se desarrolló mediante un enfoque mixto, dado que combina aspectos cuantitativos y cualitativos al momento de analizar los datos de la comparación de las encuestas de calidad de vida; como principal resultado de la investigación se evidencio que, para todos los países investigados, la dimensión común más importante es que las organizaciones les brinden a sus trabajadores un salario digno y justo. 

Como conclusión relevante se determinó que no solo el factor monetario cumple las necesidades y expectativas de los trabajadores, por el contrario, para tener un impacto positivo eficaz en el desempeño de los colaboradores, se debe integrar las dimensiones tanto a nivel intelectual como afectivo, físico, socio -laboral, emocional y espiritual.

Authors: Onwuka Osah Martins , Nzor Joyce Nonubari , Nwosu Nkemakolam Bright
Published: August 2023

Background: This study investigated the activities of zinc (Zn) supplement on redox status of animal model of doxorubicin-induced testicular oxidative stress; in order to ascertain whether Zn supplement could be beneficial on altered testicular redox status mediated by doxorubicin (a known anticancer drug). Methods: Single dose of doxorubicin (10mg/kg b.wt. i.p.) was used to induce testicular oxidative stress on DOX group as well as DOX+Zn group; DOX group was left untreated, while DOX+Zn was treated with Zn (10mg/kg b.wt. p.o.) daily for 14days after induction of testicular oxidative stress. Results were compared with control and Zn-only group as well as between DOX group and DOX+Zn group. Statistical significance was considered at P<0.05. Results: Doxorubicin (DOX) induced testicular oxidative stress by increasing lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde; MDA) and decreasing glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) when compared to control, P<0.05. Zn treatment decreased testicular MDA and improved testicular GPx, CAT, SOD and TAC; when Zn-only group is compared to control as well as comparison between DOX group and DOX+Zn group at P<0.05. Conclusion: Zinc supplement alleviates redox alterations mediated by doxorubicin-induced testicular oxidative stress by improving testicular GPx, CAT, SOD, TAC and decreasing testicular MDA; forming basis for inclusion of Zn supplement as a combatant of doxorubicin-induced testicular oxidative stress.

Hypertensive problems are present in 10% of all pregnancies. Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy constitute one of the reasonsfor maternal death and perinatal too in the world.Women with hypertension are always at higher risk for preterm birth than women without disorder. The article is dedicated to analyzing pregnancy and its consequences, including perinatal outcomes, in women with arterial hypertension. The analysis was conducted at two powerful medical centers - the Princess Anna maternity hospital in city Warsaw, Poland, and the KNP KMPB No. 5 in city Kyiv, Ukraine. The prolonged war in Ukraine has complicated the timely diagnosis and proper treatment of pathological conditions. To assess this problem, two groups were created: control and experimental, and a total of 366 pregnant patients were studied. In Warsaw, 206 patients were analyzed, while in the Kyiv maternity hospital, 160 patients were analyzed. During the analysis, one of the conclusions drawn was that chronic hypertension during pregnancy is strongly associated with pregnancy complications and negatively affected by other complicating factors such as maternal age, previous pregnancy complications, and obesity. Separate groups were identified and calculated for complications in each center separately. The degree of depression among pregnant women undergoing examination was also taken into account, and those who needed help from specialists were referred to psychologists. The authors declare no conflicts of interest.

Role of water stress as a stimulus for in vitro multiplication and its effects on biochemical response in Vellozia species
Authors: Borges Bárbara Paula dos Santos , Lima-Brito Alone , Conceição Abel Augusto
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACT Water stress impairs plant growth, resulting in the death of the plant in extreme cases. In vitro studies on stress-tolerant species can serve as the basis for improvement through genetic modifications aimed at minimizing damage and providing a controlled environment for performing biochemical and physiological assessments of plants under stress. The Velloziaceae family includes desiccation-tolerant and fire-resistant species; thus, these species can be used for analyzing protective mechanisms and reproductive responses to stress. We hypothesized that species with adaptability to survival under extremely dry conditions would respond to in vitro water stress through resprouting. This study evaluated the extent of water stress induced by the addition of sucrose, mannitol, or polyethylene glycol, the role of water stress as a trigger for in vitro multiplication, and its effect on biochemical responses in Vellozia jolyi, Vellozia punctulata, Vellozia pyrantha, and Vellozia seubertiana. Independent experiments were conducted by supplementing the following concentrations of sucrose, mannitol, and polyethylene glycol to the MS culture medium: sucrose (30 g L−1 [control], 75 g L−1, and 120 g L−1) and mannitol (0.0 g L−1 and 15.96 g L−1) for V. pyrantha; sucrose (15 g L−1 [control], 45 g L−1, and 60 g L−1) and mannitol (0.0 g L−1 and 7.9 g L−1) for the other species; and polyethylene glycol (50 g L−1, 100 g L−1, and 150 g L−1). When sucrose and mannitol were added, shoots had grown in all species, showing significant differences between treatments only for V. pyrantha. Polyethylene glycol did not induce shoot growth but, instead, diminished plant survival. The highest concentration of polyethylene glycol increased proline levels in V. pyrantha. All four species were resistant to water stress, owing to their ability to survive and reproduce under high concentrations of osmoregulators. Our study provides evidence that proline acts as an osmoprotectant of V. pyrantha.

Results: the transfusions were predominantly performed in breastfeeding infants (71.1%). Blood transfusions in critical sectors stood out (86.3%), as well as with indication of a clinical order (87.2%) and prescription of packed red blood cells (75.3%). The Nursing reports identified adverse events (n=05) and incidents (n=13) that were associated with inadequacies between the prescribed and infused volumes and the request and administration time (p<0.001), although no notification was formalized in the institution during the period. Conclusion: the administration of blood components presented nonconformities, which results in risk situations for pediatric patients.

Resumo: Introdução: O conhecimento sobre pesquisa científica e a compreensão dela são habilidades que devem ser desenvolvidas por todos os profissionais de saúde. Especificamente na Medicina, essas habilidades compõem uma parcela importante da graduação e da educação médica continuada. Considerando que a formação médica possui estreita relação com a compreensão sobre evidências científicas, torna-se relevante analisar o envolvimento dos estudantes de Medicina com as atividades científicas durante o curso. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivos verificar o interesse e o envolvimento em pesquisas científicas entre os estudantes de Medicina por meio da análise do perfil acadêmico e das atividades extracurriculares realizadas, avaliar a produção científica e identificar as motivações e dificuldades enfrentadas. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, realizado com estudantes de Medicina de Salvador, na Bahia, maiores de 18 anos. Aplicou-se, por meio do Microsoft Forms, um questionário virtual, estruturado e anônimo contendo 21 perguntas acerca do perfil acadêmico e das atividades extracurriculares realizadas, além de dados sobre a produção científica e as motivações e dificuldades enfrentadas pelos estudantes. Resultado: Dos 460 estudantes participantes, houve predominância de mulheres (63,3%), com idade de 24,1+6,1 anos, cursando os ciclos básico (45,4%) e clínico (46,7%), que não possuem desejo prévio de trabalhar com pesquisa (54,8%). Dentre os participantes, 54,6% integraram ligas acadêmicas, 31,1% possuem envolvimento com grupos de pesquisa e 29,1% participaram de monitoria. Verificou-se que apenas 33,9% dos estudantes possuem resumos publicados em congressos, 12,2% são coautores de artigos científicos e 7,4% são autores principais. O interesse em trabalhar com pesquisa aumenta durante a graduação (p = 0,010), estando os estudantes motivados para produzir cientificamente (66,1%). A experiência em pesquisa (27,4%) e o interesse genuíno na descoberta científica (20,9%) foram os principais fatores motivadores. Entretanto, 81,1% dos discentes identificaram dificuldades para produzir conteúdo científico e apontaram como empecilhos a orientação inadequada (16,0%) e a falta de tempo (15,5%). Não foi observada relação entre a motivação e a dificuldade para produzir cientificamente e o ciclo acadêmico em curso. Conclusão: Os estudantes de Medicina demonstram interesse e participação em pesquisa científica, entretanto aqueles que, de fato, estão envolvidos com atividades científicas representam a minoria.

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to test, using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis model, the factor structure proposed in the Intellectual Styles Inventory – Revised 2. Methods: The study involved the participation of 1,556 High School students with a mean age of 16 years and 4 months (SD = 1.17). Results: Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used and the model was based on the structure of 46 items distributed in nine dimensions, having demonstrated good rates of fit and accuracy. It was verified that the model originally indicated by the scientific literature was not confirmed in the Brazilian context, being proposed modifications that bring the current model closer to the national reality. Conclusion: There was an adjustment in the estimates of the parameters used, and stability and generality can be considered in the way the model was organized.

Abstract Objective: Cancer illness is a stressful event that affects children’s quality of life. This study verified the association between coping and quality of life in 13 children with cancer (6 to 12 years old) from a public hospital in the Southeastern region of the country. Methods: The participants answered the Hospitalization Coping Scale and Pediatric Quality of Life 3.0 (Cancer Module). Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were applied. A high average of adaptive coping and coping behaviors, such as talking, playing, and taking medicine, were observed. Results: The results suggest a potential positive correlation between quality of life related to the domain nausea, which also showed high scores, and adaptive coping, demonstrating children’s difficulty in dealing with nausea, even after using adaptive coping strategies, and this domain was significant in reducing the quality of life perceived. Conclusion: Understanding coping and qualitywww of life may steer intervention in Pediatric Oncology.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament is one of the two ligaments inside the middle section of the knee joint that forms an “X” shape. Its main function is to prevent the tibia from sliding forward relative to the femur. The ACL also assists with preventing excessive knee extension, knee varus and valgus movements, and tibial rotation. Kinect works in almost all room lighting conditions and can simultaneously track two active users. For full-body, head-to-feet tracking, the recommended user distance from the sensor is approximately 1.8 m for a single user; when two people are to track simultaneously, they should stand approximately 2.5 m away from the device. Kinect requires a minimum user height of 1 m. With the players themselves becoming the ‘game controller’ via their body movements and gestures, Kinect-enabled game titles lend themselves comfortably to the class of exergames (‘exercise games’), although the amount of physical activity involved and calories burned can vary significantly from title to title Materials and method: Twenty-six participated in the study. These subjects were divided into two groups, 13 subjects in each. Group A was administrated with the traditional training, and Group B was administrated with the X BOX Kinect training. Results: Comparison of mean and standard deviation of subjects aged (18-25) between Group A (Traditional Training) and Group B (X box Kinect 360 Training). The mean age of Group A was 20.7143±1.98278, and Group Bs was 20.6571±2.21711, respectively. The paired t-test value was 15.728. There was no significant difference between age groups. But in both Kujala score and muscle girth scores with p-value <0.001** (i.e., p <0.05 at 95 % confidence interval), the pre and post-values of Kujala score and muscle girth were statistically significant. Conclusion: Comparing traditional treatments with or without adding extra Kinect 360 training sessions would be very interesting, being that it may be a good addition to the treatment for post-operative ACL rehab, ACL sprains conservative management, and maintaining Knee joint fitness when sports players in a home without exposure of COVID -19.

The impact of COVID-19 grew worse by its quick onset, the overwhelming number of patients in need of urgent care, and the lack of awareness of its signs beforehand. It mostly affected the respiratory system, making respiratory rehabilitation extremely important. This study was carried out to see the effectiveness of breathing exercises along with the postural changes in COVID-19 patients under acute hospital care. A total of 40 subjects with age group between 18 years to 60 years, diagnosed with COVID-19 were included according to the selection criteria and were divided into 2 equal groups of 20 subjects each. The subjects in Group A received positioning protocol while those in Group B received breathing exercises along with positioning protocol. After 7 days of intervention, the mean SpO2(88.6% vs 89.9%, P<0.001) and pulse rate (82 vs 91 beats/minute, P<0.001) for Group A and Group B respectively. This study concluded that breathing exercises along with postural changes in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 is an effective rehabilitation program for improving SPO2 levels and pulse rate.
