AbstractReduced tourism is one of the unintended consequences of garbage accumulation in popular tourist destinations. There are both internal and external elements that influence people's willingness to participate in managed waste. The purpose of this research is to identify the external elements in the coastal community of Teluk Turtle Cilacap that influence inhabitants' involvement in garbage management. Methods included conducting in-depth interviews with 204 eligible beachgoers in the Teluk Penyu area and collecting data through observation and questionnaires. This research found that 42.1% of the variation in people involvement in controlling Teluk Turtle beach garbage was attributable to five factors: community leaders, information, incentives, local institutional capabilities, and infrastructure. Citizens' engagement in waste management is most directly influenced by incentives and community leaders and least by the local community's access to relevant knowledge, resources, and infrastructure. Unlike the knowledge variable, which can entirely mediate the relationship between community leaders, facilities, and the competency of local institutions and participation, the incentive variable can fully mediate the relationship between facilities and participation. As this research shows, environmental factors have a substantial impact on waste management involvement among Teluk Turtle people. The study's findings can be utilized as a guide for enhancing coastal trash management by highlighting the importance of the relationship between the variables investigated.

The Government of Indonesia requires oil palm plantations on peatlands to regulate the ground water table at -40 cm all year. Factors that determine the groundwater are rainfall, tidal conditions, land conversions and drainage conditions. This research aims to measure the ground water table and water balance of the oil palm plantation on the drained peats. The research was conducted from August – October 2021. The grounwater table were measured with peizoemeter installed in three blocks at an interval of 250 m, 500 m, and 750 m. The measurements were at 8 am dan 4 pm. The groundwater table ranges -4 cm to -39 cm. It seems that rainfall and tides do not have influence heights of the groundwater table in this oil palm. Further research must be done to investigate this phenomenon. A comprehensive monitoring of groundwater table covering both rainy and dry seasons is required to record the differences of groundwater tables.

Published: October 2023

Masih banyaknya anak yang dipenjara menunjukkan bahwa masih ada permasalahan norma hukum dalam Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak khususnya penerapan diversi di Indonesia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mencari konsep ideal dalam pelaksanaan diversi tanpa adanya syarat penerapan diversi terhadap anak yang berhadapan dengan hukum. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa, adanya persyaratan diversi dalam Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak, membuat hakim bisa memutus perkara dengan menjatuhkan pidana penjara kepada anak. Keberadaan lembaga perlindungan khusus anak ataupun lembaga lembaga perlindungan anak lainnya hanya ada di kota-kota provinsi, yang jauh dari keluarga si anak, sehingga pidana penjara menjadi pilihan bagi hakim dalam memutus perkara. Simpulan penelitian ini adalah pelaksanaan diversi harus tanpa syarat, sehingga semua jenis tindak pidana yang dilakukan oleh anak sedapat mungkin diupayakan diversi. Apabila kesepakatan diversi tidak terpenuhi barulah memilih pidana penjara sebagai alternative terakhir dalam pemidanaan terhadap anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum. Selain itu LPKA dan LPKS seharusnya dibangun juga di kabupaten/Kota sehingga anak yang dijatuhi hukuman ditempatkan di LPKA atau LPKS tidak jauh dari keluarganya.

Published: October 2023

Objectives

To determine the detection rate of IGF-1 variants in a clinical population and assess their implications.

Methods

IGF-1 variants were detected based on their predicted mass-to-charge ratios. Most variants were distinguished by their isotopic distribution and relative retention times. A67T and A70T were distinguished with MS/MS. Patient specimens with a detected variant were de-identified for DNA sequencing to confirm the polymorphism.

Results

Of the 243,808 patients screened, 1,099 patients containing IGF-1 variants were identified (0.45 %, or 4,508 occurrences per million). Seven patients were identified as homozygous or double heterozygous. Majority of variants (98 %) had amino acid substitutions located at the C-terminus (A62T, P66A, A67S, A67V, A67T, A70T). Isobaric variants A38V and A67V were detected more frequently in children than in adults. Six previously unreported variants were identified: Y31H, S33P, T41I, R50Q, R56K, and A62T. Compared with the overall population, z-score distribution of patients with IGF-1 variants was shifted toward negative levels (median z-score −1.4); however, it resembled the overall population when corrected for heterozygosity. Chromatographic peak area of some variants differed from that of the WT IGF-1 present in the same patient.

Conclusions

In the IGF-1 test reports by LC-MS, the concentrations only account for half the total IGF-1 for patients with heterozygous IGF-1 variants. An IGF-1 variant may change the binding to its receptor and/or its binding proteins, affecting its activity and half-life in circulation. Variants located in or close to the C-domain may be pathogenic. Cross-species sequence comparison indicates that A38V and A70T may have some degree of pathogenicity.

The paper presents monitoring of spatial displacements and deformation of hydraulic structures of hydroelectric power plants of the Dnipro and Dnister cascades using permanent deformation monitoring systems (PDMS). The architecture of the geodetic (measuring) component of monitoring systems deployed at Kaniv, Dnipro, Seredniodniprovska and Dnister HPP (all in Ukraine) are presented, as well as deformation monitoring structure of this systems. Analysis of the impact of geodynamic and seismic factors on the operation of selected monitoring systems are presented. The spatial deformations of the base points on all the studied monitoring systems were determined. As a result of the analysis of the obtained values, it was found that the deformations of the dam crest have a seasonal nature (with half-annual period) of movements, and are characterized by the corresponding vector field and the absolute value of spatial movements.
Sensory experience ratings (SERs) for 1,130 Chinese words: relationships with other semantic and lexical psycholinguistic variables
Authors: Wu Chenggang , Mu Xin
Published: October 2023

Sensory experience rating (SER) is a subjective semantic variable that measures the extent to which a word generates a sensory experience when a reader processes the word, and it has been explored in English, French, and Spanish. The present study collected the SERs of 1,130 Chinese words and explored the correlation between SER and other lexical and semantic variables. SER was significantly associated with concreteness, age of acquisition (AoA), context diversity, and word frequency. The results confirmed both the reliability and the validity of SER. However, SER failed to predict lexical decision performance in reaction time and accuracy rate. It is possible that SER is not as powerful in influencing word recognition as previous studies have assumed, at least for Chinese.
Ferroptosis involves in Schwann cell death in diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Authors: Wu Kai-yan , Deng Fei , Mao Xin-yu , Zhou Dan , Shen Wei-gan
Published: October 2023

Accumulating evidence shows that Schwann cells’ (SCs) death caused by high glucose (HG) is involved in the pathological process of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). Ferroptosis is a novel form of regulatory cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. However, it is not clear whether ferroptosis is involved in the death process of SCs induced by HG. The expression of ferroptosis-related indicators in the serum of DPN patients was detected by ELISA. Subsequently, using cell counting kit‑8, western blot, real-time PCR, and Ki-67 staining, we investigated the effects of HG on the ferroptosis of SCs and initially explored the underlying mechanism. The results showed that the serum levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) and glutathione in patients with DPN decreased, while malondialdehyde levels increased significantly. Then, we observed that erastin and HG induced ferroptosis in SCs, resulting in the decrease in cell activity and the expression level of GPX4 and SLC7A11, which could be effectively reversed by the ferroptosis inhibitor Fer-1. Mechanistically, HG induced ferroptosis in SCs by inhibiting the NRF2 signaling pathway. Our results showed that ferroptosis was involved in the death process of SCs induced by HG. Inhibition of ferroptosis in SCs might create a new avenue for the treatment of DPN.

Earthen Architecture and Craft Practices of Early Iron Age Ramparts: Geoarchaeological Analysis of Villares de la Encarnación, South-Eastern Iberia
Authors: Cutillas-Victoria Benjamín , Lorenzon Marta , Yagüe Francisco Brotons
Published: October 2023

The use of mudbricks in Early Iron Age ramparts is an uneven feature of defensive architecture on the Iberian Peninsula. The use of mudbricks as a building material has been linked to the arrival of Levantine building traditions with the Phoenicians, and its appearance among local societies varies between the eighth and sixth centuries BC according to the public or domestic nature of the structures. In this article, we present the geoarchaeological analyses of the mudbricks used in constructing one of the defensive towers or bastions at Villares de la Encarnación (Caravaca de la Cruz, Spain). This site, endowed with two complex fortification lines and towers, is one of the main settlements for understanding the development of the Early Iron Age among the inland and mountain communities of the region. The analytical program includes wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence, CHN elemental analysis, and thin-section petrography and provides new data about soil procurement and manufacturing choices. These results highlight the technical and social complexity behind mudbrick constructions and the adoption of new earthen practices among Early Iron Age communities in order to build more imposing and elevated towers that might convey an image of the power and strength of these inland settlements.
Electroacupuncture inhibits the expression of HMGB1/RAGE and alleviates injury to the primary motor cortex in rats with cerebral ischemia
Authors: Nie Zeyin , Miao Huachun , Li Chenyu , Wu Feng
Published: October 2023

Background

The high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)/receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) signaling pathway holds promise as a potential therapeutic target for ischemic brain injury. The effects of FPS-ZM1 and electroacupuncture (EA) on activation of the HMGB1/RAGE signaling pathway after cerebral ischemia remain uncertain.

Methods

Middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was established. Neurological function was assessed using Longa scores. Nissl staining was used to observe the morphology of neurons. The expression levels of HMGB1 and RAGE were assayed with immunofluorescence staining and western blot.

Results

The results showed that EA and FPS-ZM1 could reduce the neural function score and neurons cell injury in cerebral ischemia rats by inhibiting the expression of HMGB1 and RAGE in primary motor cortex (M1) region. In addition, EA combined with FPS-ZM1 had a better therapeutic effect.

Conclusions

The HMGB1/RAGE pathway could be activated after cerebral ischemia. Both EA and FPS-ZM1 improved neurological deficits and attenuated neuronal damage in rats. They had synergistic effects. These interventions were observed to mitigate brain damage by suppressing the activation of HMGB1/RAGE.
Control of the Platform Reserve Army: The Roles of the State and Capital in China's Platform Economy
Authors: Zhang Wei , Qi Hao , Li Zhongjin
Published: October 2023

The rise of digital platforms has formed a platform reserve army. The platform reserve army is the stagnant reserve army of contemporary digital capitalism, which brings challenges to labor control. Using data collected from an original survey of over 600 ride-hailing drivers in two Chinese cities, the roles of the state and capital, as well as their interactions in shaping capital's control over the platform reserve army in China, are clarified. Against the backdrop of the state's market-formalization policy, ride-hailing platforms have aligned with third-party rental companies that provide qualified vehicles. The platform-rental company alliance has effectively trapped a significant share of drivers to maintain an adequate and stable labor supply. Given their capacity to manipulate and restructure the reserve army, platforms have capitalized on the state's regulations to strengthen their control over labor.

Published: October 2023

Depression is a frequent and serious illness, and stress is considered the main risk factor for its onset. First-line antidepressants increase serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) levels in the brain. We previously reported that anN-acetyltransferase, Shati/Nat8l, is upregulated in the dorsal striatum (dSTR) of stress-susceptible mice exposed to repeated social defeat stress (RSDS) and that dSTR Shati/Nat8l overexpression in mice (dSTR-Shati OE) induces stress vulnerability and local reduction in 5-HT content. Male mice were used in this study, and we found that dSTR 5-HT content decreased in stress-susceptible but not in resilient mice. Moreover, vulnerability to stress in dSTR-Shati OE mice was suppressed by the activation of serotonergic neurons projecting from the dorsal raphe nucleus (dRN) to the dSTR, followed by upregulation of 5-HT content in the dSTR using designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADD). We evaluated the role of GABA in modulating the serotonergic system in the dRN. Stress-susceptible after RSDS and dSTR-Shati OE mice exhibited an increase in dRN GABA content. Furthermore, dRN GABA content was correlated with stress sensitivity. We found that the blockade of GABA signaling in the dRN suppressed stress susceptibility in dSTR-Shati OE mice. In conclusion, we propose that dSTR 5-HT and dRN GABA, controlled by striatal Shati/Nat8l via the dSTR-dRN neuronal circuitry, critically regulate stress sensitivity. Our study provides insights into the neural processes that underlie stress and suggests that dSTR Shati/Nat8l could be a novel therapeutic target for drugs against depression, allowing direct control of the dRN serotonergic system.

In computational dosimetry of ionizing radiation, the energy deposited in radiosensitive organs and tissues is evaluated when an anthropomorphic simulator (phantom) is irradiated using Exposure Computational Models (ECMs). An ECM is a virtual scene with a phantom positioned mathematically relative to a radioactive source. The initial state includes information like the type of primary particle, its energy, starting point coordinates, and direction. Subsequently, robust Monte Carlo (MC) codes are used to simulate the particle's mean free path, interaction with the medium's atoms, and energy deposition. These are common steps for simulations involving photons and/or primary electrons. The GDN (Research Group on Numerical Dosimetry and the Research Group on Computational Dosimetry and Embedded Systems) has published ECMs with voxel phantoms irradiated by photons using the MC code EGSnrc. This work has led to specific computational tools development for various numerical dosimetry stages, including input file preparation, ECM execution, and result analysis. Since 2004, the GDN developed in-house applications like FANTOMAS, CALDose_X, DIP, and MonteCarlo. Certain previously used phantoms are reintroduced to provide historical context in the ECMs' production timeline, emphasizing additive modifications inherent in systematic theme studies. The dosimetric evaluations used the binary version of the MASH (Male Adult mesh) phantom, converted to the SID (Dosimetric Information System) text file type. This format has been used by the group since 2021 to couple a voxel phantom to the EGSnrc user code. The ECM included an environmental dosimetry problem simulation. Most of these tools are accessible on the GDN page (http://dosimetrianumerica.org).

Authors: Khusaini Khusaini , Mardisentosa Bambang , Putro Tetuko Rawidyo
Published: October 2023

Fiscal transfer policies and road infrastructure are essential in reducing inequality in Indonesia. However, previous research examining the effect of fiscal transfer policies and road infrastructure still came up with inconclusive findings, thus making it necessary to conduct further research on rural, urban, and sub-national areas in Indonesia. This study examines the impact of fiscal transfer policies and road infrastructure on reducing income inequality in rural, urban, and sub-national areas. The authors utilized time-series data from 2012 to 2021 and 34 provinces. The fixed effect GLS model showed that Kuznets' hypothesis existed at rural, urban, and sub-national levels. The results also showed that the special allocations fund significantly reduced income inequality in rural, urban, and sub-national areas. However, road infrastructure was significant only in urban areas. The findings suggest that the special allocation fund policy can be expanded in scope and increased in number to accelerate the reduction in income inequality.JEL Classification: O15, L92, O18, O23

Published: October 2023

As Indonesian government promotes Indonesia as the center of the Halal Industry Nation, numerous strategies are being implemented across every sector, including Islamic Financial Institution. This research focuses investigating factors that can influence customer loyalty. To bridge this gap, the study aims to create a model for increasing customer loyalty based on the Halal Brand Personality approach, by exploring competitive advantage as a mediating variable. This research is considered important due to the relatively small market share of Islamic banking in Indonesia, which faces intense competition. This is an explanatory research with a quantitative approach that employs survey method to collect 225 data points. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is used to analyze the direct and indirect relationship of each variable. It was found that from all the hypotheses, six were rejected, and the model was validated. The result delineated that the model proposed in this research can assist branch managers in maximizing and strengthening Islamic banking’s distinctive products and sophisticated technology, which are its primary competitive advantages when competing with other banking sectors.JEL Classification: M20, M21, M31

Authors: Turna Ozge , Ozkan Asuman Deveci , Eskiler Gamze Guney , Baykal Aslıhan , Ozturk Gulay Yuzbasioglu
Published: October 2023

Malignant canine mammary tumours (CMTs) are subdivided as carcinomas (C), sarcomas (S) and carcinosarcomas (CS) according to their histological type. Due to the varying responses to different treatments, novel therapeutic approaches are required. Sodium butyrate (NaBu) is the first histone deacetylase inhibitor and exhibits anti-cancer activity in different types of human cancers. However, no study is available in the literature evaluating the effects of NaBu on CMT cells. Therefore, for the first time, we aimed to investigate the in vitro efficacy of NaBu on three subtypes of CMT cells. Primary cells were isolated from neoplastic tissues of three dogs with CMT. Cell viability, apoptotic percentage and changes in the cell morphology, apoptosis-associated gene and protein expression levels were evaluated. Our findings showed that NaBu decreased the growth of the cells and increased the percentage of apoptosis in three subtypes of CMT cells. Additionally, NaBu treatment affected the expression levels of genes and proteins associated with apoptosis, especially in S cells. Our preliminary results, for the first time, revealed the efficacy of NaBu in CMT cells and the importance of the histological subtype in NaBu response. However, the molecular classification of CMT and the underlying mechanisms of the different NaBu responses should be further investigated.

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie korzyści wynikających z zarządzania odpadami w myśl idei zrównoważonego rozwoju i zgodnie z zasadami budowania modelu zamkniętego. Autorki przedstawiają znaczenie koncepcji zrównoważonego rozwoju w odniesieniu do gospodarowania odpadami, wskazując jej pozytywny wpływ na środowisko oraz wartość dla interesariuszy, a także na zmiany w modelach biznesowych. W celu zobrazowania potencjału wynikającego z umiejętnego zarządzania odpadami w przedsiębiorstwie wykorzystano metodę studium przypadku, odpowiednią dla zrozumienia rozwoju zjawisk w określonych uwarunkowaniach. Na podstawie fragmentu badanego studium przypadku autorki przedstawiły, jak właściwie zaadaptowana zmiana wpłynęła nie tylko na poprawę pozycji przedsiębiorstwa, ale także na ograniczenie kosztów wynikających z konieczności wcześniejszej utylizacji odpadów. Analiza przypadku wykazała, że współpraca z wyspecjalizowaną firmą pozwala lepiej chronić środowisko i zmniejszać zużycie zasobów naturalnych oraz pozytywnie wpływa na wyniki finansowe przedsiębiorstwa, powodując oszczędności roczne na poziomie 77 tys. zł netto. W podsumowaniu podkreślono konieczność adaptacji przedsiębiorstw do paradygmatów zrównoważonego rozwoju. Firmy, które cechuje odpowiedzialność (zarówno społeczna, jak i środowiskowa), są lepiej postrzegane przez klientów i partnerów biznesowych. Taka postawa wpływa pozytywnie na kreowaną przez nie wartość, dając im tym samym większą szansę na obronę przed nadchodzącym kryzysem gospodarczym, co może stanowić przedmiot dalszych badań i dyskusji.
Clusters – Typology and Public Policy
Authors: Ruomu Li , Yip Vincent , Dobrzański Paweł
Published: October 2023

Clusters, especially high-tech, are important economic phenomena in modern society. As the archetype, Silicon Valley drives governments over the world to initiate their own cluster. Likewise, the cluster policy has also become a major policy tool in the urban planning field. Based on approaches to initiate and promote clusters, the current cluster policy can be divided into three models, the American model, the Asian model, and the European one. This paper focuses on the sustainability of clusters, reviews the literature about high-tech clusters, cluster policy, and the developments of selected clusters, including Silicon Valley, Silicon Fen, Hsinchu Science Park, Singapore Science Park and One-North, and Akademgorodok; discusses their developments and challenges, and aims to explore the role of government and possible approaches. Based on the data analysis, the research concluded that governments are essential to a cluster’s sustainability. The approach of mixing bottom-up and top-down intervention might be the final direction for all countries, and the only difference lies in timing, which varies with local resources, social environments, and especially culture. For governments, its role should be identifying the right timing to implement the adaption in policy, coordinate, and lead the battle for sustainability in practice.
Environmental Taxes in Poland and South Korea – Sharing Experiences
Authors: Szymczak Magdalena
Published: October 2023

The article aimed to identify, to assess the environmental taxes in Poland and South Korea, and to indicate a potential area of cooperation – an exchange of experience on environmental taxes. The analysis covered data from the period 2000-2020. However, in some parts, due to the availability of data, the investigation was completed in 2014 or 2019. The research methods employed were a critical analysis of domestic and foreign literature, an analysis of Polish and Korean legal acts underpinning environmental taxes in a comparative approach, and an analysis of OECD data using simple statistical methods and benchmarking elements. Four environmental taxes were identified in Poland: an excise tax on types of products deemed harmful to the environment, a Vehicle Tax, a Forest Tax and an Agricultural Tax. In South Korea, three taxes were included: Individual Consumption Tax, Automobile Tax and Transportation, Energy, Environmental Tax. Environmental taxes in Poland and South Korea were evaluated positively, taking the fiscal and informative functions as criteria. However, it was shown that an exchange of experience would be desirable, particularly in the area of improving the implementation of the stimulating function of taxes that related to air pollution.

ABSTRACT This study analyzed the Motherhood Constellation in two young mothers (19 and 22 years old), with and without depressive symptoms. Through qualitative content analysis of the interviews, information was categorized according to four themes of this construct: life-growth, primary relating, support matrix, and identity reorganization. There were no differences between mothers in the first theme. In the others, despite the similarities with the asymptomatic mother, the young woman with depressive symptoms had difficulty to get involved with her baby, restricted social support, and an impasse related to the organization of her maternal identity and internal reorganization in the face of developmental demands. These findings indicate the need for attention to the mental health of young mothers during the complex process of becoming a mother.

RESUMO Este estudo investigou a Constelação da Maternidade em duas mães jovens (19 e 22 anos), com e sem sintomas depressivos. Através da análise de conteúdo qualitativa das entrevistas, as informações foram categorizadas conforme os quatro temas desse constructo: vida-crescimento, relacionar-se primário, matriz de apoio e reorganização da identidade. Não foram observadas diferenças entre as mães no primeiro tema. Nos demais, apesar das semelhanças com a mãe assintomática, a jovem com sintomas depressivos apresentou dificuldade no envolvimento com seu bebê, apoio social restrito e impasse relacionado à organização da identidade materna e reorganização interna perante as demandas desenvolvimentais. Esses achados indicam a necessidade de atenção à saúde mental de mães jovens durante o complexo processo de tornar-se mãe.
As configurações contemporâneas do gênero e a insistência do desejo
Authors: Loures Lorena Silva , Poli Maria Cristina Candal
Published: October 2023

O artigo tem por objetivo propor algumas questões sobre as resistências de psicanalistas sobre as novas configurações do gênero (e dos corpos) no contemporâneo. Indica também a persistência do desejo do psicanalista como o que permite a reformulação da doxa analítica considerando tais modificações como resultantes de um alargamento do universo simbólico — o que acarreta grandes consequências na efetividade da escuta clínica. Para tanto, reafirmamos a ética do desejo diante do real enquanto irrepresentável e da aposta na escrita ante à impossibilidade da relação sexual. Por fim, a partir de uma breve apreciação do filme Tudo sobre minha mãe (1999) do cineasta espanhol Pedro Almodóvar defenderemos a necessidade que se impõe a nosso campo de um tempo para compreender a mudança em curso, a fim de que possamos chegar a conclusões sensíveis às novas possibilidades de arranjo que se apresentam na clínica.
Do riscado à assinatura. Um exemplo de solução sinthomática numa pessoa autista
Authors: Vives Jean-Michel , Orrado Isabelle
Published: October 2023

A partir da apresentação do atendimento de um jovem autista no âmbito de um dispositivo que utiliza seu interesse pela música e sons em geral, os autores se esforçam para mostrar como se pode orientar a cura a partir de noções de riscado (testemunho da recusa que a pessoa autista remete ao outro), arranhão (primeira inscrição da descontinuidade operada no real) e assinatura (transformação do arranhão permitindo uma apresentação do sujeito autista no mundo do Outro).
A fantasia e "a condição humana": a psicanálise em contato com a obra de René Magritte
Authors: Terêncio Marlos Gonçalves
Published: October 2023

O artigo se propõe a incitar reflexões sobre a função da fantasia na psicanálise a partir do contato de Lacan com a obra do artista René Magritte, e especificamente, com o quadro La condition humaine (1933). Analisam-se algumas vertentes do funcionamento fantasístico como realidade do sujeito e, acima de tudo, como "condição humana" ligada a uma evitação do contato com "a janela para o real", em relação à falta de objeto último para a satisfação pulsional, à inconsistência do Outro e ao desamparo fundamental. Para tanto, examinam-se os dilemas da relação subjetiva com o objeto a e com das Ding, investigando o funcionamento ambíguo da fantasia e o seu possível entendimento como obra de arte para uso interno do sujeito. Propõe-se, finalmente, uma ressonância entre a compreensão da arte na obra de Magritte e a direção do tratamento conforme proposta por Lacan.
How to measure organizational resilience? Validating a simplified model
Authors: Santos Alã Y. P. , Spers Renata G.
Published: October 2023

Abstract Purpose: This study sought to analyze the elements that compose the resilience of organizations when facing a disruptive event, using as context the crisis caused by Covid-19. Originality/value: The study of organizational resilience helps us to theorize, more accurately, organizational adjustment and adaptation in increasingly complex and difficult-to-understand environments. However, although their research has shown promise, its concept still needs more independent attention and empirical validation. In this sense, this paper contributes to a holistic view with a consistent definition of the term through a quantitatively validated model since most of the empirical studies found in the literature are qualitative in nature. Design/methodology/approach: A survey was applied to test a model for measuring organizational resilience, through an exploratory factor analysis, in addition to the use of simple descriptive statistics. Data collection occurred between November 9 and December 23, 2021, through an electronic form with 41 respondents (companies). Findings: The tested model showed a high level of reliability (McDonald’s ω of 0.955) and can be applied within organizations to measure their resilience. The tested model comprises 12 items: unity of purpose; stress testing plans; strategic planning; proactive posture; breaking silos; leveraged knowledge; internal resources; effective partnerships; innovation and creativity; decision-making; staff engagement; and leadership.
De Malba Tahan a Mello e Souza: a construção de uma identidade (1923-1938)
Authors: Porto Ana Gomes
Published: October 2023

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é estabelecer os paralelos existentes entre as mudanças ocorridas no final da década de 1920 concernentes ao ensino da matemática no Brasil e a produção ficcional de Júlio Cézar de Mello e Souza (Malba Tahan). O período escolhido para análise está circunscrito entre o início da década de 1920 e a publicação de O homem que calculava, em 1938. Parte-se do pressuposto de que Malba Tahan, “escritor árabe”, surge antes do escritor Mello e Souza, ou seja, como um escritor “árabe”. O processo de identificação com o pseudônimo foi gradual. Na época da publicação dos primeiros contos havia dúvidas quanto à autoria, enquanto em 1938 já era conhecido de todos que Malba Tahan era o pseudônimo de Mello e Souza. Pretende-se, portanto, trabalhar com dois aspectos. Um deles está voltado à forma como Mello e Souza se colocou como escritor de ficção ao longo dos anos. O outro condiz com a sua atividade como educador e os reflexos em sua produção ficcional, em especial, na obra O homem que calculava. Ambos partem do pressuposto de que houve um processo de construção de identidade perante o público.
Consequences of the pandemic on dental practices: a literature review

ABSTRACT SARS-CoV-2 is caused by an RNA virus responsible for the disease known as COVID-19. First diagnosed in 2019, in a human being in the city of Wuhan, China, this disease is classified as a severe respiratory disease. Propagation occurs through coughing, sneezing, inhalation of droplets, or even indirect contact with the nasal, oral, and ocular mucous membranes. Preventive measures involving social distancing, quarantine, and mask use were implemented to prevent its spread. Such measures challenge dental practices, since they depend on proximity and do not allow the use of personal protective equipment, which cover the patient’s oral cavity. This integrative literature review sought to identify articles discussing preventive measures of adequate use in current dental practices, reducing the risk of COVID-19 contamination and spread. Results showed the importance of dentists acting on the disease transmission routes, following care protocols, implementing new dental clinic management practices, such as avoiding crowds, longer time between appointments, use of teledentistry, and adopting preventive measures inside the dental office like hand washing, use of N95 mask, face shield, and air filters. However, oral health professionals must be prepared to face any imminent challenge imposed by infectious diseases in dental practice, following protocol before, during, and after dental care.
Coparenting Questionnaire (CQ): Adaptation and Validity Evidences for Brazilian Context

Published: October 2023

Abstract Co-parenting is the reciprocal effort between two caregivers to raise a child and is important in the mental health of families. This study aims to describe the adaptation procedures and initial evidence of validity of the Co-parenting Questionnaire (CQ) for Brazil. The adaptation was carried out according to the stages: translation; synthesis of translated versions; evaluation by experts and target audience; and reverse translation. To assess its factorial structure, confirmatory factor analyzes were performed in multifactorial and bi-factorial models in a sample of 590 mothers/fathers aged 21 to 60 years (M = 36.24; SD = 5.88) residing in 21 states of Brazil. The CQ presented adequate adjustments for a correlated multifactorial solution and for the bifactor model. Complementary indices indicate that its multifactorial structure is the most adequate. Considering that 90% of the participants are women, the results show the CQ is a valid instrument for measuring co-parenting in Brazilian women.
