INTERVENÇÕES PSICOLÓGICAS NA DOR CRÔNICA EM MILITARES – REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Gomes Matheus de Carvalho
Published: December 2024

A dor crônica é uma condição persistente que impacta significativamente a qualidade de vida e é especialmente prevalente em militares devido ao estresse físico e psicológico enfrentado no serviço, com altas taxas entre veteranos. Essa condição não apenas causa consequências físicas, mas também está associada a transtornos psicológicos como depressão e ansiedade, exigindo tratamentos integrados que incluem terapias psicológicas como a cognitivo-comportamental para aliviar tanto os sintomas físicos quanto emocionais. O objetivo geral do presente trabalho foi compreender a Terapia de Aceitação e Compromisso (ACT) utilizada em pacientes com dor crônica e apresentar a relação patológica, com um modelo biopsicossocial e os fatores agravantes causadores do sofrimento psíquico em Militares. O presente trabalho teve como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica, tendo como fonte de consulta uma variedade literária relacionada ao tema estudado, tais como o uso de artigos, livros e teses sobre o tema. Foi visto, que a dor crônica em militares, uma condição complexa que envolve aspectos físicos, psicológicos e sociais, requer uma abordagem multidisciplinar de tratamento com um papel essencial da Psicologia, utilizando técnicas como TCC e ACT. A inclusão de terapias de grupo, mindfulness, consideração do contexto sociofamiliar, superação do estigma e a necessidade de pesquisa contínua e desenvolvimento de novas abordagens são fundamentais para um tratamento eficaz, com sugestões de futuras investigações focadas em eficácia a longo prazo e estratégias preventivas e educacionais.

Authors: Queiroz Rafael Mota De
Published: December 2024

O imposto sobre serviços de qualquer natureza (ISSQN) é tributo de fundamental importância para a sustentabilidade financeira da maior parte dos Municípios brasileiros. O boom da construção civil nos últimos anos exige que a legislação tributária seja entendida e interpretada de modo a gerar segurança para os agentes do mercado. Ao ser reconhecido pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal repercussão geral ao Recurso Extraordinário (RE) nº 603.497/MG (Tema n. 247), e a recepção da norma do Art. 9º, §2º, “a” do Decreto-Lei nº 406/1968, o Superior Tribunal de Justiça alterou sua jurisprudência, já consolidada, quanto a regra de que o custo do serviço em sua totalidade é que compõem a base de cálculo do ISSQN, e não admissão da subtração em sua base de cálculo dos valores correspondentes aos materiais utilizados pelo prestador de serviço, retomando, todavia, mais recente, a sua pretérita jurisprudência. O artigo analisa a regra matriz de incidência do ISSQN, a regra referente a não inclusão de material utilizado na base de cálculo do imposto, e essa alteração jurisprudencial, utilizando-se, para isso, dos aportes teóricos do construtivismo lógico-semântico, tendo como objetivo geral apresentar criticamente o critério não inclusão na base de cálculo incidência; historiar e analisar essa alteração jurisprudencial. Utilizase metodologia qualitativa e das técnicas bibliográfica e documental para analisar o estado da arte. Constatou-se a não possibilidade de exclusão da base de cálculo do ISSQN de materiais utilizados na obra de engenharia civil, pois o critério quantitativo do tributo é o valor total do preço do serviço contratado, que regra de exclusão referida pelo Art. 7º, §2º, I, da Lei Complementar nº 116/2003 é norma de “não incidência legalmente qualificada”, e que a alteração da jurisprudência do STJ trouxe insegurança e possível perca arrecadatória aos Municípios.

Investigation was conducted on the utilization of farm waste (Maize cob) on growth performance, serum and hematological parameters of rabbits in an 84 days feeding trial. Forty-five rabbits (New Zealand x California) breed, 4 weeks old weighing about 460-480g were allotted into five dietary treatments having nine rabbits per treatment and three replicates of three rabbits each. The diets contained treated maize cob (TMC) at five (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 %) levels of substitution for wheat offal in a completely randomized designed experiment. Performances data were harvested weekly while blood collection was on 84th day for blood profile analysis. Data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance. Daily weight gain (7.44g) was highest (p<0.05) among rabbits fed treated maize cob with better feed conversion ratio (5.23) in rabbit fed 50% treated maize cob (TMC) as substitute for wheat offal. Similarly, Packed cell volume (PCV) and red blood cell (RBC) increased (P<0.05) for rabbits fed diets containing 50, 75 and 100% TMC. Dietary substitution of TMC irrespective of the levels resulted in higher hemoglobin (Hb) (P<0.05) than the control diet. The lymphocyte count (69.70%) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) (23.06g/dl) was highest (P<0.05) for rabbits fed diets containing 75% TMC whereas substitution of 100% TMC in the rabbit’s diet gave the highest (P<0.05) total protein (5.20 g/dl), Serum globulin (1.80g/dl) and glucose (101.20mg/dl). It was concluded that rabbit can tolerate substitution of wheat offal with TMC for increased weight gain, better feed efficiency without compromising their health status.

Published: December 2024

Objective: In order to manage intertrochanteric (IT) femur fractures, this study compares the functional outcomes, operating time, bleeding rate, and weight-bearing capability using short and long proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA). Methods: Patients who received PFNA for IT femur fractures between April and September of 2024 were the subjects of a retrospective investigation. Based on the length of the PFNA used, sixty patients were split into two groups: thirty received a short PFNA and thirty received a long PFNA. The time it took to reach full weight-bearing, operating time, intraoperative bleeding rate, and functional results as measured by the Harris Hip Score (HHS) at 6 and 12 weeks were among the important factors assessed. A statistical analysis was performed on the data to identify any noteworthy variations between the two groups. Results: There were 60 patients in the trial; 30 were in the long PFNA group and 30 were in the short PFNA group. The short PFNA group had an average operating duration of 45 minutes, which was considerably less than the long PFNA group's 65 minutes (p<0.05). The short PFNA group experienced a considerably lower intraoperative blood loss (average of 140 ml) than the long PFNA group (average of 210 ml) (p<0.05). The HHS's measure of functional outcomes showed no statistically significant difference in scores at 12 weeks (p=0.65) between the two groups. There was no discernible difference in the recovery period between the two groups' average time to reach full weight-bearing, which was 8 weeks. The lengthy PFNA group had slightly fewer complications, such as fixation failure, but the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.58). Conclusion: Reduced operating time and less intraoperative bleeding are two benefits of short PFNA, without sacrificing weight-bearing ability or functional results. While both short and long PFNA offer comparable functional outcomes, addressing IT femur fractures may benefit more from short PFNA's potential for greater effectiveness and safety. Additional investigation, including prospective studies, is important to corroborate these results and evaluate enduring consequences.

Background: Traumatic vascular injuries, especially popliteal artery injuries, carry a high risk for limb loss which poses a major healthcare problem for patient management in the developing world. Aims: This study is aimed to investigate the outcomes after traumatic popliteal artery injuries. Our primary objective was to evaluate limb salvage. Secondary objectives included evaluating postoperative functional outcomes at 3 and 6 months. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at the Department of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery SMBBIT, Karachi from January, 2020 to December, 2022 after ethical review. All patients with a proven popliteal artery were included and data was collected regarding the patients’ demographics, mode of injury, time since injury, coexisting injuries, and peri-operative complications. Results: We identified 103 cases of Popliteal artery injury, including 96% (n=99) males, with a mean age of 30 +/- 12.75 years. The commonest mechanism of injury was firearm assault totaling 59.2% (n=61). The median (IQR) time since presentation was 10 hours. 31.1% (n=32) cases presented within 6 hours of injury. RGSV interposition graft repair was undertaken in 70.9% (n=73) cases while the rest underwent primary amputation (25.2%, n=26) or Popliteal artery ligation (3.9%, n=4). The mean length of stay was 9.0 days (Median 7.0). We recorded a single post-operative mortality (0.9%). At 3- months follow up, 3 patients had undergone a secondary amputation. 18 cases were complicated by wound infections needing debridement. At 6 months, 68.1% were fully ambulating independently fully whereas 23.4% of the patients were ambulating with difficulty. Limb salvage rates were comparable for patients presenting initially to our hospital and referred cases.

Authors: Mahmud Md Sultan , Hasan MD Mahamudul , Khan Md Rabbi , Islam Md Baharul
Published: December 2024

This systematic review investigates recent advancements in heavy metal detection technologies, spanning from traditional techniques to innovative 3D-printed and smartphone-based approaches. Employing the PRISMA methodology, a thorough search across scientific databases identified 212 articles relevant to heavy metal detection. After screening titles, abstracts, and full-texts based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 45 studies were selected for detailed review and analysis. The review provides a comparative evaluation of detection methods by examining factors such as sensitivity, accuracy, cost-effectiveness, portability, and environmental sustainability. Traditional detection techniques, such as atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), remain the gold standard due to their high sensitivity and precision; however, they often require sophisticated equipment, controlled environments, and are resource-intensive. This review discusses the strengths and limitations of each method, highlighting the potential of novel technologies to enhance accessibility and efficiency in real-time, on-site heavy metal monitoring. Concluding insights outline future research directions aimed at optimizing detection technologies to meet evolving needs in environmental monitoring, public health, and industrial safety applications.
En utrednings forventninger
Authors: Kulturstudier Redaktionssekretær
Published: December 2024

Denne artikkelen undersøker hvordan en norsk o!entlig utredning (NOU) publisert i 1978 fremskriver en fremtidig forvaltning hvor datainfrastrukturen skal få en stadig større plass. Gjennom en praksisorientert dokumentanalyse og et teoretisk rammeverk for fremtiding, utforskes spørsmål om hva slags forventninger utredningen har til datateknologien og betingelsene disse baserer seg på. Denne analysen bidrar med en refleksjon over hvordan kollektive ideer og sosiotekniske begjær skapes i møtepunktet mellom ulike betingelser, aktører og teknologier. Den peker også mot en mer kritisk tilnærming til nåtidens forventninger til fremtidig datateknologi og hva den kan utrette, forventninger som bør sees i lys av tidligere fremtider.

Consumer Engagement with Retail Businesses: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Agendas
Authors: Thakur Pankaj , Kathuria Kapil , Kumari Nisha
Published: December 2024

This literature review aims (1) to systematically lay out and analyze the literature on consumer engagement and consumer engagement with retail businesses, (2) to identify the possible antecedents of consumer engagement, and (3) to analyze the context of studies, trends in methodologies, and conceptual frameworks and thus provide the future agendas for consumer engagement with retail businesses. This review uses a systematic literature review (SLR) method. The research articles published in Scopus-indexed journals between 2008 and 2022 were downloaded from the Google Scholar database using a systematic search strategy. The key antecedents of consumer engagement included attitudes towards brands, brand interactivity, brand intimacy, consumer involvement, customer participation, customer perceived value, peer communication, personality traits of consumers, self-brand image congruity, perceived service quality, social media marketing efforts of retail brands, and subjective norms. Though only a few reviewed articles had explicit conceptual frameworks, researchers performed an in-depth analysis of conceptual frameworks underpinning the research. This framework-based review uniquely analyzes the antecedents (Independent Variables) and mediating variables of consumer engagement (Dependent Variable) with retail businesses.
Investigating the Impacts of Place Atmosphere on Place Attachment and Loyalty: The Mediation Effects of Place Image
Authors: Chang Yu-Ling , Wang Chih-Yung , Peng Yu-Hsuan
Published: December 2024

This study examines the effects of place atmosphere on place attachment and loyalty, considering the mediating role of place image. This study employs a structured questionnaire methodology, dividing the instrument into five sections: place atmosphere, place attachment, cognitive image, affective image, and loyalty, as the basis for questionnaire design. The measurement of each unit within the questionnaire adopts a Likert five-point scale, with 258 valid questionnaires collected from coffee shop customers. The analysis encompassed descriptive statistics, reliability and validity assessments, goodness-of-fit, and hypothesis testing. The empirical findings revealed the following: (1) Place atmosphere positively influences place attachment. (2) Place attachment positively affects place image. (3) Place image had a positive impact on loyalty. (4) Place image acted as a full mediator in the relationship. Furthermore, the study findings reveal that place attachment does not directly impact loyalty, and place image acts as a complete mediator. This differs from the commonly perceived outcomes; hence, managers should emphasize the establishment’s image creation.
Effects of altered climates on American ginseng population dynamics

As climates change, species with locally adapted populations may be particularly vulnerable as specialization narrows the range of conditions under which populations can persist. Populations adapted to local climate as well as other site‐specific characteristics like soils present challenges for inferring how changing climates affect fitness, as climatic and nonclimatic variables that constitute local conditions decouple. We conducted two transplant experiments involving American ginseng to test how climatic conditions affect performance while controlling for effects of other site characteristics. We first out‐planted populations from differing elevations to gardens arrayed along an elevation/climate gradient. We also grew maternal plants under temperatures corresponding to home‐site and future conditions (16.4–22.4°C), transplanting resultant progeny to two home‐sites at different elevations (400 m, 800 m). Source populations responded idiosyncratically to elevation reflecting how nonclimatic site characteristics strongly affected plant fitness. Germination rates declined for seeds from maternal plants exposed to warmer temperatures, which compounded with diminished seed production of maternal plants, suggested that population growth may decline rapidly as warm years become hotter and more frequent. Controlling for maternal temperature effects provided evidence that plants are adapted to home‐site conditions, both climatic and nonclimatic, with population growth rates for out‐planted populations ranging from below population replacement levels (λ = 0.58) to well above (λ = 1.33). Evidence of local adaptation to climatic and nonclimatic environmental components, in combination with negative fitness impacts of warming climates on offspring via maternal effects, suggests that changing climate may imperil ginseng and other similar understory species.
Sex differences of parental phubbing on online hostility among adolescents: A moderated mediation model
Authors: Wang Hongxia , Zhou Li , Geng Jingyu , Lei Li
Published: September 2021

To explore the relationship between parental phubbing (PP) and adolescent online hostility and its' psychological mechanism, 689 Chinese adolescents were recruited to complete a paper‐and‐pencil questionnaire. We took cyber flaming (CF) as an overall category for hostile online communication to investigate the relationship between PP and CF and the mediating role of perspective‐taking (PT) in this relationship and examined whether there is a sex difference in this process. After controlling the average daily online time, the results showed that PP predicted adolescent CF positively. The relationship between PP and CF was partially mediated by PT. The effect of PP on PT was moderated by sex, with the result being significant only for boys. Related findings and future directions were discussed.
Simultaneously Improving Thermal Insulation, Flame Retardancy, and Smoke Suppression for Rigid Cross‐Linked Polyvinyl Chloride Foam through Combined Copper/Molybdenum Trioxide

Published: September 2021

Although the rigid cross‐linked polyvinyl chloride (c‐PVC) foam has excellent mechanical properties, there are still problems of unsatisfactory thermal insulation performance, flame retardancy, and smoke suppression. So how to simultaneously improve the thermal insulation and flame retardant properties of c‐PVC foam is still a challenge. Herein, the combination of copper powder and molybdenum trioxide (Cu/MoO3) is used to prepare c‐PVC composite foams. The cell structure, thermal conductivity, thermal stability, limiting oxygen index (LOI), and smoke density of the c‐PVC composite foams are characterized. The results showed that, on the one hand, the cell density and thermal insulation performance are improved (31.24 mW m−1 K−1) due to the good heterogeneous nucleation and infrared reflection of the copper powder. On the other hand, when the mass ratio of Cu/MoO3is 4/1, the best synergistic catalytic effect to promote char formation achieved the highest LOI value of 30.1, and the smoke density rating (SDR) is reduced by 27%. This work is beneficial to the design and application of c‐PVC foams with high performance.

Combining photodynamic therapy (PDT) and immunotherapy has shown profound impact for synergistic treatment of malignant tumors. However, the shallow penetration depth of the traditional visible light activated PDT, immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), and poor immunogenicity of deep‐seated solid tumors have significantly impeded the therapeutic efficiency. Herein, a soft X‐ray activated nanoprobe is rationally engineered via integrating porphyrin Zr‐based metal–organic framework with lanthanide NaYF4:Gd,Tb@NaYF4 scintillator nanoparticles (SNPs) by a new in situ growth strategy for synergistic PDT and immunotherapy of tumor. The nanoprobe possesses remarkably enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation triggered by soft X‐ray via further covalently grafting rose bengal on the nanoprobe, even at tissue depths of 3 cm. Moreover, the soft X‐ray induced ROS can act as potential immunogenic cell death (ICD) trigger, subsequently leading to the activation of the adaptive antitumor immune‐response. Significantly, the boosted ROS generation can further modulate the immunosuppressive TME. This work provides new strategy of designing antitumor nanoprobes for soft X‐ray triggered deep‐tissue PDT and immune response, breaking the depth barriers suffered by the traditional photoactivated PDT or ICD using visible and near infrared light.
