Authors: Monteiro de Almeida Magalhães Francisco , Ribeiro Paixão Milena , Accorsi Tarso Augusto Duenhas , De Amicis Lima Karine , Köhler Karen Francine , De Souza Junior José Leão
Published: November 2023

Respiratory syncytial virus infection is responsible for seasonal outbreaks, usually manifested with acute respiratory disease in childhood. Acute myocarditis is a rare and underdiagnosed complication of this infection. Myocarditis has a heterogeneous clinical presentation and is related to an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias, sudden death, and chronic dilated cardiomyopathy. This paper is a case report of confirmed myocarditis associated to respiratory syncytial virus in an immunocompetent adolescent, not classified in typical risk groups. A review of the management of myocarditis is presented, with an emphasis on diagnosis, risk stratification, etiological assessment, and treatment options.
Fatores que podem contribuir para pausas mais longas entre compressões torácicas na reanimação cardiopulmonar com o ultrassom point-of-care: uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Alberto de Melo Filho Carlos , Alves Melo Camila
Published: November 2023

O ultrassom point-of-care é recomendado para o uso na reanimação cardiopulmonar quando houver suspeita de causas reversíveis. No entanto, estudos demonstraram que o ultrassom point-of-care pode aumentar o tempo das pausas entre as compressões, nas quais pulso e ritmo são verificados. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever possíveis fatores associados a pausas mais longas entre as compressões torácicas com o uso do ultrassom point-of-care. Trata-se de revisão de literatura nas bases de dados PubMed®, Embase, Scopus e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. A busca foi realizada sem restrição de tempo ou idioma, utilizando a seguinte estratégia: ((arrest, cardiopulmonary OR cardiopulmonary resuscitation OR Advanced Cardiac Life Support) AND (point of care ultrasound OR POCUS)). A busca nas bases de dados resultou em 6.177 publicações. Destas, apenas cinco estudos foram inclusos. A falta de treinamento em ultrassom está associada a pausas mais longas em aproximadamente 3,1 segundos (IC95% 0,6-5,6; valor de p = 0,02). Operar o ultrassom point-of-care e liderar a reanimação cardiopulmonar ao mesmo tempo foi associado a atraso de até 6,1 segundos (IC95% 0,4-11,7; valor de p = 0,04). Além disso, o momento para colocar a sonda do ultrassom no tórax do paciente e a falta de sistematização para o uso do ultrassom pointof-
care também podem contribuir para pausas mais longas. Espera-se que esta discussão desperte o interesse em novas
pesquisas sobre o tema e seja utilizada para delinear novos protocolos para o uso do ultrassom point-of-care na reanimação cardiopulmonar, de modo que as pausas sejam menores que os 10 segundos preconizadas pela American Heart Association.

Kualitas pelayanan publik merupakan indikator utama dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintah yang baik. Sebagai salah satu unit teknis penyelenggara pelayanan publik bidang registrasi pangan olahan di Badan POM, Direktorat Registrasi Pangan Olahan (Dit.RPO) berupaya meningkatkan kualitas pelayanannya dengan melakukan evaluasi kinerja pelayanan publik. Evaluasi diukur secara berkala melalui survei kepuasan pelanggan. Rekomendasi hasil survei sangat membantu unit dalam mengambil kebijakan yang tepat untuk melakukan perbaikan. Tulisan ini bertujuan menganalisis data survei kepuasan pelanggan Dit.RPO yang telah dilakukan pada tahun 2021, membandingkannya dengan hasil survei tahun 2020 dan memberikan rekomendasi kebijakan yang diperlukan untuk meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan. Analisis dikaitkan dengan pelayanan registrasi yang dilakukan secara online di tengah situasi pandemi Covid 19. Kepuasan pelanggan diukur dan dianalisis menggunakan metode Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) dan Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). Hasil pengolahan data survei menunjukkan indeks kepuasan pelanggan tahun 2021 adalah 77,41 dengan kualitas pelayanan Baik (B) berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi No 14 Tahun 2017 tentang Pedoman Penyusunan Survei Kepuasan Masyarakat Unit Penyelenggara Pelayanan Publik. Sedangkan berdasarkan metode CSI yang dikembangkan oleh Ekloè f dan Anders Westlund (1998) nilai indeks kepuasan pelanggan adalah 77,42. Adapun analisis kuadran IPA menunjukan prioritas perbaikan oleh manajemen adalah bagaimana agar pelanggan mudah memahami dan memenuhi persyaratan pendaftaran pangan olahan,  mengakses media informasi dan  mengetahui status pendaftaran. Pelaku usaha mengalami kesulitan pada faktor tersebut sebagai dampak dari pelayanan yang dilakukan secara online selama pandemi Covid 19. Sejalan dengan perbaikan situasi setelah pandemi maka layanan tatap muka di loket pelayanan pandemi sudah dapat dimulai kembali.  Bagi pelaku usaha mikro kecil (UKM), perlu dilakukan pendampingan. Selain itu juga perlu disediakan desk registrasi secara offline dan online, dilakukan sosialisasi tatacara registrasi pangan melalui kegiatan bimbingan teknis, coaching clinic bagi registration officer usaha pangan olahan.

Authors: Asiamah Osmond A , Fletcher Jonathan A
Published: November 2023

This study explored the effect of video-based pedagogy on students’ spatial ability in solid geometry, in the Birim Central Municipality of Ghana. A mixed methods concurrent triangulation research design was employed. The same treatment and methodologies were used on two intact classes (n=43 and n=39 respectively) of the two study schools. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the questionnaire data, whereas data reduction technique and content analysis were used to analyse the interview reports and written test scripts data. The two separate data sets produced similar results, with the qualitative results confirming the quantitative results. The findings reveal that video-based pedagogy significantly promotes students’ 2D and 3D spatial ability, and fosters students-centered learning in solid geometry. The results also provide evidence and recommendations on the significance of video-based pedagogy in improving students’ mathematical understanding at the Senior High School level.

Published: November 2023

Pakistan has the lowest rate (13.5%) of “Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease” NAFLD meanwhile prevalence of NAFLD is 47% nationwide in Pakistan. However, betaine plays a considerable positive role in alleviating hepatic cell lipid accumulation by pacing the oxidation of fatty acid, the TCA cycle, and glycolytic processes in the liver. Objectives: To evaluate the comparative effect of conventional treatment with beetroot supplementation on inflammatory markers and the efficacy of betalain supplementation among patients with NAFLD. Methods: A total participant of 34 patients with NAFLD grade 1 older than 18 years were enrolled for the 12 weeks of the study, and participants were allocated into two groups, 17 each. In this study total of 45.6% of participants were male, and 54.4% were female. The groups G0 was considered as a control group with no supplementation, and group G1 where conventional treatment and supplementation were advised to participants. The 5g beetroot powder supplements in tablet form were given to the participants daily for 12 weeks. Results: The mean age group of NAFLD patients enrolled in the study was 43.042±3.79 years in G0, and in G1, it was 43.7±5.211. The mean BMI was 25.95 and 26 kg/m2 in both groups. There was a substantial (P<0.05) fall in cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels. High-density lipoprotein levels were also improved. On the other hand, C-reactive protein and TNF alpha levels were also. Conclusions: The current study concluded that beetroot supplementation could improve NAFLD patients' inflammation and lipid profile.

Published: November 2023

The level of services delivered by physiotherapists to recipients is stated by the satisfaction of patient but patient satisfaction studies are lacking within physiotherapy domain in public and private hospitals in Pakistan. Objective: To ascertain patient’s satisfaction with physiotherapy services and to compare the results in this context between public and private hospitals. Methods: This cross- sectional observational study was conducted in 3 public and 3 private hospitals of Lahore in a time period of three months. Total 148 patients were evaluated, 74 from the public hospitals and 74 from the private hospitals. The 5- point Likert scale was used in patients to identify patient satisfaction from physiotherapy services. Results: The study indicated that the level of satisfaction of patients who are receiving physiotherapy services is higher in private hospitals than in public hospitals. 95.8% of the patients were satisfied with the physiotherapy services received from private hospitals and only 20.6 % of the patients receiving physiotherapy services from public hospitals were satisfied with their treatment. Conclusions: Patient satisfaction is an essential domain of the extent of quality of care. So, it must be appraised on time to offer better facilities to the patients. There was a high level of satisfaction described by patient receiving Outpatient Physiotherapy Department (OPD) services in private hospitals while most of the patients receiving OPD services from public hospitals were dissatisfied with their treatment.

Authors: Gilani Aima , Anjum Muhammad Nawaz , Hanif Asif , Amin Zarnab , Masood Seemal
Published: November 2023

Sonographic assessment offers several advantages in the diagnosis of Neural Tube Defects (NTDs). It is a safe and non-invasive procedure that poses minimal risks to both the mother and the fetus. During the 1st trimester, sonographic assessment includes measurement of nuchal translucency (NT), which, when increased, indicates a higher risk of NTDs and chromosomal abnormalities. In the 2nd trimester, a detailed anatomical scan evaluates the neural tube, brain, spine, and associated structures. Objective: To screen sonographically for the prenatal diagnosis of Neural Tube defects during 1st and 2nd trimesters of pregnancy. Methods: A prospective cohort study done in 9 months at Gilani Ultrasound Centre, Lahore, Pakistan by consecutive sampling. Total 7552 samples were estimated. We included all pregnant females visiting for regular antenatal checkup age between 18-45 years and Gestational age from week 6th till 26th weeks with any parity and excluded females needing emergency intervention. Results: Out of 7552 patients 319(4.24%) of fetuses were seen with minor abnormalities (Sonological Markers) in 319(4.28%) of patients examined of which 89(28.07%). Mild microcephaly was seen in 24(7.57%), of which 3 were seen in the 2nd trimester and 21 were seen in the 3rd trimester. Many other disorders were also observed in very low number of patients. Conclusion: Sonographic assessment is an essential tool in the prenatal screening and diagnosis of NTDs during the 1st and 2nd trimesters of pregnancy. Its widespread use and continuous improvement in technology have significantly contributed to the improved diagnosis and care of NTDs in prenatal settings.
MEIOS E FINS DO DESENVOLVIMENTO: UMA ANÁLISE A PARTIR DOS AGRICULTORES FAMILIARES DE ITAPEJARA D'OESTE/PR
Authors: TERNOSKI SIMíO , PERONDI MIGUEL ANGELO
Published: November 2023

Renda, riqueza e progresso econômico nem sempre são suficientes para expressar a melhoria da condição de vida de uma comunidade, muitos paí­ses com elevado PIB não conseguem resolver seus problemas sociais de pobreza e fome, o que evidencia a necessidade de se considerar outras dimensões para medir o bem-estar humano. E, num contexto especí­fico da agricultura familiar brasileira, pergunta-se: quais variáveis meio e fim do desenvolvimento podem ser empregadas como indicadores que significam a ampliação da liberdade e a promoção do bem-estar rural? Assim, procurar-se-á levantar os fins e meios do desenvolvimento entre os agricultores familiares de Itapejara d'Oeste nos anos de 2005, 2010, 2015. E, como base neste estudo de painel estabelecer uma estatí­stica descritiva e uma análise inferencial econométrica dos dados que permitam perceber os movimentos e condicionantes do fortalecimento do patrimônio, renda, escolaridade, saúde, sucessão e relações sociais, tratados como indicador fim – Idaf. Para tanto, admite-se existir uma heterogeneidade de contextos, onde os ativos e o seu fortalecimento podem tanto representar expansão do desenvolvimento em um cenário, como retração em outro. Por fim, os resultados deste estudo indicam que nem todos os meios considerados para o desenvolvimento explicam os fins expressos no í­ndice proposto, o efeito probabilí­stico sobre o Idafse deu nos ní­veis de uso do crédito de custeio e investimento, na renda per capita dos integrantes, migrações, superfí­cie agrí­cola útil, unidade de trabalho humano, escolaridade do chefe da famí­lia, e nas proporções de transferências sociais e autonomia das rendas do trabalho.
RELAÇÃO ENTRE GOVERNANÇA, ESTÁGIO DE SUCESSÃO E PERSONALIDADE JURÍDICA EM EMPRESAS RURAIS FAMILIARES
Authors: Pelizaro Carla Ivo , Caleman Silvia Morales de Q. , Silva Devanildo Braz da
Published: November 2023

À medida que a empresa rural familiar cresce, o proprietário depara-se com o problema da sucessão familiar. Não obstante a isso, os proprietários ainda enfrentam o desafio de permanecer competitivos no setor. Neste ponto, a profissionalização do negócio por meio da adoção de práticas de governança corporativa passa a fazer parte do repertório de gestão. Diante desse contexto – sucessão e governança - não se pode negligenciar a personalidade jurí­dica do empreendimento, questão esta que ainda constitui um desafio para a maioria das empresas rurais no Brasil. Sob o escopo dos fundamentos de "Governança Corporativa" , "Sucessão Familiar" e "Personalidade Jurí­dica" , esta pesquisa propõe e discute de forma integrada estas três dimensões para a gestão de empresas rurais. Trata-se de um estudo multicasos com empresas rurais localizadas em Mato Grosso do Sul, desenvolvida por meio de entrevistas em profundidade. Trata-se de uma amostra não probabilí­stica e por conveniência, constituí­da por seis empresas rurais. A partir das evidências desta pesquisa, identifica-se uma relação entre governança corporativa, sucessão e personalidade jurí­dica de empresas rurais, destacando-se a necessidade de uma análise integrativa, da qual é possí­vel propor um conjunto de pressupostos com implicações teóricas e gerenciais.
CONTINUING EDUCATION TO FOOD WASTE MANAGEMENT
Authors: Tognato de Oliveira Carla , Canal Bonfante Mariele , Uriona Maldonado Mauricio , Soares Sebastião Roberto
Published: November 2023

This study aims to evaluate the impact on municipal food waste management, comparing a prevention policy based on continuing environmental education program and a command-and-control policy. In a Brazilian city, four scenarios were analyzed using a system dynamics model. The results show that continuing environmental education is a good supplement to achieving the law goals. Hence together, they obtain the best results for food waste management. Few studies investigate the relation of continuing education to municipal waste management. Therefore, a better understanding of the impact of these actions in the long term is needed. Moreover, the research of dynamic simulation models as a tool to explore the interactions of environmental education and food waste management and assess the multidimensional impact of the policy is still rare and needs further study. The transition into a more sustainable food consumption through achieving food waste reduction and sustainable municipal solid waste management are great challenges considering the dependence on the individual behavior of citizens. Environmental education is a path to reducing food waste and promoting waste diversion. The study is socially relevant and helps policymakers take the necessary actions to optimize food waste management with social participation, so the paper brings an important gap and interesting result to claim for more interdisciplinary research.
METODOLOGIA PARA AVALIAÇÃO DOS IMPACTOS SOCIOESPACIAIS DA EXPANSÃO URBANA: UM ESTUDO DE CASO NA CIDADE DE CAMPINA GRANDE-PB
Authors: Matheus Heleno Vanderlei Grismino  , Walber Paschoal da Silva
Published: November 2023

Nas últimas décadas, o Brasil passou por um grande processo de urbanização e crescimento das cidades, muitas vezes orgânico e desordenado, com interferência direta em diversos setores da sociedade. Este trabalho tem como objetivo propor uma metodologia para avaliação dos impactos socioespaciais da expansão urbana de uma cidade, a partir de quatro etapas principais: Delimitação da área de estudo; Caracterização social; Caracterização espacial; Análise socioespacial. Para tanto, é proposto o uso integrado de um Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG), como ferramenta de apoio ao processo de produção de mapas e análises espaciais. A metodologia foi testada por meio de um estudo de caso aplicado à cidade de Campina Grande, no estado da Paraíba, e com o auxílio do SIG de trabalho, foi realizada a análise socioespacial do seu crescimento urbano. Os resultados revelaram que a expansão urbana, associada a uma condição de espaço ocioso, está diretamente relacionada à vulnerabilidade social.  Mostraram, ainda, que a cidade de Campina Grande apresenta poucos bairros com situações de alta ou muito alta vulnerabilidade, e que esses bairros devem ter, por parte do poder público, um controle mais efetivo do crescimento urbano, visando prevenir uma expansão desordenada, fenômeno que já vem sendo observado.
TEMAS E VOZES NA PAUTA DO DESENVOLVIMENTO DO ESTADO DO TOCANTINS
Authors: Cruz Lima Neuracy Viana , Pedroso Neto Antonio José
Published: November 2023

Este artigo avaliou como o desenvolvimento no estado do Tocantins foi apresentado, reportado pela imprensa à sociedade. Considerou os textos da imprensa como bens simbólicos, como instrumentos em lutas simbólicas e como poder para transformar mentes e provocar mudanças. Assim, tanto o desenvolvimento tem influência sobre a imprensa, como a imprensa age sobre os rumos e as dinâmicas do desenvolvimento. A pesquisa analisou a cobertura do Jornal do Tocantins, de 1988 a 2018, e fez análise de enquadramento e de fontes-vozes de 525 textos. Constatou a maior visibilidade dos setores da economia, com destaque para o agronegócio. Também constatou a visibilidade de outras áreas: social, meio ambiente, infraestrutura etc. Em relação às fontes-vozes, verificou um grande espaço dado às governamentais, seguidas pelas especializadas, sobretudo da área econômica. De modo geral, a cobertura sobre o desenvolvimento do Tocantins foi abrangente e heterogênea. No entanto, foi diferenciada: a esfera econômica conseguiu se apresentar mais; e a esfera governamental conseguiu falar mais. Enfim, por essa diferenciação, o jornal é um agente social ativo no processo de desenvolvimento regional e está longe de ser um simples observador que reporta.
POBREZA DAS MULHERES CHEFES DE FAMÍLIA DA REGIÃO NORDESTE DO BRASIL: UMA ANÁLISE MULTIDIMENSIONAL
Authors: Menezes Nery de Oliveira Nadja Simone , Ferrera de Lima Jandir
Published: November 2023

Este artigo analisa, por meio de uma abordagem multidimensional, a pobreza das chefes de famí­lia da Região Nordeste do Brasil no ano de 2015. Para tal, fora estimado o Índice de Pobreza Multidimensional (MPI) tendo por base os microdados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicí­lios (PNAD). Os resultados evidenciaram que na região Nordeste as famí­lias que são chefiadas por mulheres e que têm a presença do cônjuge ou companheiro são multidimensionalmente mais pobres em relação às famí­lias chefiadas por mulheres onde não há a presença de cônjuge ou companheiro. No entanto, não foi possí­vel afirmar que existe um processo de feminização da pobreza em termos multidimensionais quando se compara o resultado do MPI (M0)entre mulheres e homens (independente da presença ou não de cônjuge ou companheiro). Também fora observado que para as chefes de famí­lia da Região Nordeste, onde não havia a presença de cônjuge ou companheiro, as dimensões relativas à vulnerabilidade familiar, disponibilidade de recursos e uso do tempo foram os fatores nos quais as mulheres se mostraram mais vulneráveis em comparação aos homens. Quando considerado a presença de cônjuge ou companheiro, essas mulheres foram mais privadas somente na dimensão de uso do tempo em relação aos homens chefes de famí­lia dessa região. As dimensões relativas ao trabalho, a renda e ao consumo de bens foram as que mais contribuí­ram para a inserção da mulher nordestina em uma condição de pobreza, e são assim, temas que exigem mais atenção do poder público.
IN PURSUIT OF A MORE HOLISTIC, CITIZEN-CENTERED RESILIENCE STRATEGY: THE CASE OF PORTO ALEGRE, BRAZIL
Authors: De Melo Conti Diego , Neiman Zysman , Ferreira da Silva Luciano , Santiago Luis
Published: November 2023

The concept of resilience is particularly applicable to urban planning if the complexity and various interconnected systems of a city are considered. The city of Porto Alegre has long been studied in academic circles for its tradition of citizen participation in local decision-making. Porto Alegre recently embarked on the development and implementation of a resilience strategy under Rockefeller's Foundation 100 Resilient Cities Project umbrella. This article uses descriptive exploratory methods to document the development and implementation of a Porto Alegre resilience strategy, which relied on the city's previous success in implementing innovative participatory methods. The institutionalization and regulatory frameworks necessary for the implementation of resilience strategies were also documented, uncovering a tripod of resilience that articulates relationships between civil society, government, and academia to achieve a successful implementation.
From representation to reality. Translating the topological space to the euclidian space
Authors:   Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Budapest, HU, Bognár Melinda
Published: November 2023

The advent of the Digital Turn in architecture calls for reconsidering many conventional design phenomena. Nowadays communication is on computer and computers already alter how we experience design spaces and virtual scenarios. However, implementation brings a rupture to the design process. Even though the expression of any formal intention is possible on the screen, their realisation by industrial construction techniques comes with difficulties. Material-based design research involving manufacturing can also open new approaches to architectural creation. Robotic technologies and 3D printing are translators between the virtual and physical realms, such as construction workers and industrial machines. While representation already follows the digital logic, materialisation is often still industrial, creating a rupture in the design process. This paper seeks to highlight the tension points where materiality can connect computation through new media to create a coherent workflow, where the information of the material is an incentive driver of the design process. The question we are ask is whether virtual and physical materiality are derivatives of each other or is it time to recognise them independently?
Mapping perception. Innovative digital mapping approaches as urban investigation methods
Authors:   “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism, Bucharest, RO, Boștenaru Dan Maria , Ibric Adrian ,   “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism, Bucharest, RO
Published: November 2023

This paper presents translation methods of innovative mapping approaches, from paper-based techniques from historical periods to the digital realm for 3 case studies: Bucharest, Lisbon and Rome. Such paper-based techniques are the 18th century’s city map of Rome (by Giambattista Nolli), the 1950s-60s psycho-geographical maps developed by situationists (Guy Debord) and novel visual layouts from architects and urban planners (Kevin Lynch, Saverio Muratori). A previous mapping developed by Bostenaru and Panagoupoulos (2014) of the 18th century Lisbon earthquake, based on a chronicle azulejos engraving of the event, is also considered as a base point for a more modern perception visualization of this location. Digital techniques include story maps and layered mapping. Several story maps types were investigated for walking or cycling tours. These kinds of tours are a method of investigation, more suitable in architecture than in geography, as reviewed for Rome. Photography is another such instrument and the path taken in the story map is suitable for this. The charted buildings span from 20th century heritage, to sites relevant for the effects of earthquakes, the latter for Bucharest and Lisbon. The Rapid Visual Screening method (RVS) focuses on the structural material in Bucharest, while heritage habitat approaches emphasize the role of green materials, for Lisbon and Rome. Innovations in the paper maps as well as scenario thinking (Helmuth Kahn) permit differentiating between emblematic and common buildings, which can be achieved digitally through story maps. As the example of Lisbon shows, a further step may be creating VR and 3D models or video content. In conclusion, these story map tools are useful to investigate layers of the city, for writing urban places.
Inflatable architecture. Short critical history of uses in architecture
Authors:   “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism, Bucharest, RO, Moise Irina Mihaela
Published: November 2023

The pandemic crisis, as a turning point in recent history, has caused existing resources to be mobilized in a short time and triggered the emergence of unique approaches to spatial reorganization. With their formal freedom, unlimited adaptability and short production cycle times, lightweight inflatable or pneumatic structures, which are still in the midst of a technological boom, are an undeniable source of inspiration for today's crisis adaptation. Beyond pragmatic features such as ergonomics, protection and cleanliness, a variety of stylistic approaches can be identified, ranging from small-scale, minimal interventions in interior architecture, to large-scale, urban interventions. The article reviews the sources of inspiration that cross time and space, moving from the utopias of the 1960s to the emergency projects of the 21st century, with the aim of highlighting, through the broad spectrum of solutions, a direction to follow in architecture adapted to crisis solutions. Inflatable structures still fascinate, having the potential to be symbolic in any context.
Transnational urban circularity, green transition and innovative city development projects, funded through the JPI Urban Europe and the DUT Partnership instruments
Authors:   “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism, Bucharest, RO, Ibric Adrian
Published: November 2023

The applied research for the development of the quality of urban life around Europe has been and continues to be a priority funding area of the European Commission. JPI Urban Europe is one of the instruments through which financial support has been granted in urban innovation, in order to ensure the green transition of city components from polluting elements to ecological ones, respectively from linear models of consumption, exploitation and operation to circular urban systems. A particularity of this programme is the transnational approach to the projects, which is reflected both in the diversity of the location of the study cases, the types of partners involved (private, institutional, non-governmental) but also in the way in which the funding is granted, through common budgets of the national development funding agencies, which are sometimes doubled by non-reimbursable monetary assistance from the European Union. The article chronologically summarizes the JPI Urban Europe calls, from the first competition (2012) upto 2023, namely the launch of a new and successor funding formula, integrated in Horizon Europe – the DUT Partnership (Driving Urban Transitions) and the relevant funded projects. The winning applications covered the topics imposed by the programme, from circularity and urban transition, to climate neutrality, energy-positive neighborhoods, sustainable urban accessibility and sustainable cities in general, examples of how cities face current challenges such as increasing the density of housing in the urban environment, increasing costs of execution and operation of infrastructure, including construction, mitigating the effects of climate change, migration, etc. Among the conclusions and innovations resulting from the implemented projects, the following are standing out: the increase in the understanding and capacity of citizens to support the transition to a more resilient and efficient urban environment in terms of consumption, in participatory, innovative ways and through transnational communities, but also the synergies between specialists, urban users, administration and investors. All these have led to new concepts such as the 15-minute cities or novel solutions for circular urban economies.
PREACHING THE GOSPEL AS A FOUR-ACT DRAMA
Authors: C. Greene Dr. Bob
Published: November 2023

Everyone has a basic story, and our lives are wrapped up in stories. Therefore, faith in Jesus should be how a Christian seeks to understand life, history, and their place in God’s story. This is not just because the scriptural story is comprehensive, because it happens to be the story we have inherited, or because it is the story that works for us. We must take the story of God seriously because it is accurate and tells us the story of history truthfully, beginning with the creation and ending with the new creation.1 Borrowing from the work of Craig G. Bartholomew & Michael W. Goheen in The Drama of Scripture: Finding Our Place in the Biblical Story, who suggest a six-act drama (Creation, Fall, Redemption Initiated, Redemption Accomplished, Mission of the Church, and Redemption Completed),2 this work proposes a modified four-act drama (Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Restoration). This four-act drama is fueled by and centered on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, found exclusively in the story of God. Because of this, the preacher should ask the question of every sermon, "Did the sermon show how the text testifies to Christ?"3 The purpose of doing so is to help preachers identify solutions for creating distinctly and decisively Christ-centered, Gospeldriven sermons.
THE WELL-MANAGED MINISTRY: DISCIPLE-MAKING AS A PASTOR OF HOUSEHOLD COMMUNITY AND CHURCH FAMILY IN PAKISTANI AND GLOBAL CONTEXT
Authors: Yunis Hakim Rev. Aftab
Published: November 2023

This research served as a backdrop and guide for the well-managed mintry. The researcher has contended that the household community and the Church family are the two sides of the same coin as both go together and are inseparable. Several challenges have been discussed in this phenomenon. This study investigated the Pakistani context contending that cultural challenges are not the distorting issue of the Chuch family today, but rather the self-made mission is the actual problem in this regard. It has also explored the priorities of the ministers and argued that the pastors need to reevaluate their roles in disciple-making mission. Otherwise, the Church family would neglect the mission of God. It further traced the previous studies of some scholars in the Pakistani perspective who proposed the common good for the entire shift. As a result, this research declared those studies the misconstrued mission of some ministers in disciple-making mission arguing that the utmost need is to revisit the biblical approach of disciple-making for the well-managed ministry. Lastly, this paper further examined the 'shift of priority' of the Church family asserting that the leadership building approach for the pastors' household community and the Church family serves as a backdrop and guide for the well-managed in the local and wider context.

O Transtorno Depressivo Maior (TDM) é caracterizado por episódios distintos de pelo menos duas semanas de duração - embora a maioria dos casos dure um tempo maior - envolvendo alterações nítidas no afeto, na cognição e em funções neurovegetativas, e remissões interepisódicas. Essa patologia é prevalente em todo o mundo, o que evidencia a necessidade de investigar as possibilidades de tratamento dela. Desse modo, esse artigo é uma revisão integrativa e objetiva responder como a prática do exercício físico, comparado com a não prática, melhora a sintomatologia do transtorno em pacientes adultos. As buscas foram realizadas, até dezembro de 2022, nas plataformas PubMed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Os descritores em saúde (DeCS) que foram empregados são: ‘’adult’’; ‘’depressive disorder, major''; ‘’exercise’’ e ‘’therapeutics’’. Sendo assim, foram selecionados artigos de diferentes delineamentos experimentais, os quais convergiram em relação à eficiência da intervenção de exercícios físicos, apresentados e aplicados em diferentes modalidades, de forma exclusiva ou complementar, na melhora da sintomatologia do TDM em pacientes adultos. Dessa forma, evidenciou-se, ao longo da revisão, que tal abordagem promove benefícios para a qualidade de vida desses pacientes e, por isso, deve ser estimulado pela comunidade científica, já que é um meio eficaz e acessível aos adultos depressivos.

As feridas crônicas são definidas por descontinuidade tecidual e por não ter um avanço na cicatrização do decorrer de três meses. A população idosa e os pacientes hospitalizados são os mais acometidos por esse tipo de feridas, visto que os danos causados podem influenciar na saúde mental do paciente. Objetivo: o presente estudo evidencia a importância da assistência de enfermagem no tratamento dos pacientes com feridas crônicas. Método: trata-se de uma revisão de literatura com a busca, seleção e escolha de artigos nas bases de dados realizada na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) Centro Latino-Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Ciências da Saúde (BIREME), Base de Dados Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Base de Dados de Enfermagem (BDENF) e operadores booleanos “AND” e “OR”. Resultados: a amostra foi composta por 10 artigos selecionados que evidenciaram a necessidade de enfermeiros especializados em feridas, falta de matérias para realização de curativos; aspectos que devem ser analisados para um bom planejamento e tratamento dos pacientes; atendimento humanizado da equipe de enfermagem juntamente com apoio familiar. Discussão: a assistência de enfermagem contribui para a qualificação do cuidado aos pacientes, oferecendo um tratamento assertivo, humanizado, onde os profissionais preparados pratiquem e sigam continuamente os protocolos adotados. Conclusão: a assistência de enfermagem tem o poder de evitar possíveis danos ao paciente através de uma assistência humanizada, clara, eficiente e que segue protocolos promovendo a continuidade do cuidado com enfermeiros capacitados.

A formação do pensamento crítico é uma das preocupações fundamentais dos docentes na educação contemporânea. Este trabalho lança luz sobre as reflexões que esses educadores enfrentam ao buscar maneiras de promover a capacidade de pensar de forma crítica entre seus alunos, ao mesmo tempo em que lidam com as complexidades do processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Os docentes buscam meios diversos para alcançar esse objetivo. Eles exploram metodologias pedagógicas que estimulam o pensamento crítico, como debates, análise crítica de textos e resolução de problemas complexos. Além disso, a integração das tecnologias digitais pode proporcionar recursos valiosos para esse processo, ao oferecer acesso a informações diversificadas e a oportunidade de colaboração global. No processo de ensino-aprendizagem, a inter-relação desempenha um papel fundamental e estratégico na formação do pensamento crítico dos alunos. Reconhecemos que a significação dos envolvidos é crucial para o surgimento dessa habilidade essencial, que capacita os estudantes a adotarem uma abordagem analítica e reflexiva em relação ao mundo que os cerca. A inter-relação no processo de ensino-aprendizagem é essencial para o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico dos alunos. Através da discussão de temas relevantes, como política e cultura, os educadores capacitam os alunos a adotar uma abordagem mais analítica e reflexiva em relação ao mundo, preparando-os para enfrentar os desafios e dilemas da sociedade contemporânea com discernimento e sabedoria. Essa abordagem não apenas enriquece a experiência educacional, mas também contribui para a formação de cidadãos informados e engajados.

Na contemporaneidade, as transformações do capitalismo desempenham um papel central no cenário socioeconômico global. Essas mudanças estão estreitamente relacionadas com as dinâmicas do mundo do trabalho e, de maneira notável, com a evolução das questões relacionadas à subjetividade humana. O que se destaca nesse contexto é a crescente integração da produção capitalista na vida cotidiana, ultrapassando as barreiras tradicionais que costumavam separar categorias como economia, poder e saúde. Este fenômeno levanta questões cruciais sobre como essas transformações impactam a sociedade contemporânea e redefine as relações entre trabalho, indivíduo e sistema econômico. Nesse contexto, o capitalismo contemporâneo assume uma configuração notável, caracterizada por sua crescente orientação em direção a um capital considerado "imaterial". Isso não apenas representa uma mudança profunda na natureza do capitalismo, mas também impulsiona uma série de debates e reflexões críticas sobre as implicações dessas mudanças. Esta introdução visa explorar como o capitalismo moderno está rapidamente cedendo lugar a uma forma de capitalismo que coloca ênfase na valorização de um capital que é frequentemente descrito como "imaterial".
AI Applications in the Criminal Justice System: The Next Logical Step or Violation of Human Rights
Authors: Mohamed Gamil Zakaria .
Published: November 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) is impacting almost every aspect of our lives, and automated decisions have begun to replace human decisions. Recently, criminal justice has also turned to AI to reduce crime rates and achieve effective action on the ground. Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms (ML) could predict and track crimes and criminals. In addition, they could be used in criminal courts. However, there is ample evidence that the application of this technology has affected basic human rights. In several countries, law enforcement agencies (LEAs), i.e., government agencies responsible for law enforcement, have begun using these technologies despite concerns about the presence of bias in the results and invasion of citizens' privacy. This research paper provides an overview of some AI applications used in criminal justice to predict crimes and offenders, detect and investigate crimes, and assist judges in criminal courts. It also examines the human rights implications of using these applications in this system.
