A Lei nº 14.994/2024 e suas implicações no âmbito da violência contra a mulher
Authors: Souza Isabela Cavalcanti de , Veras Érica Verícia Canuto de Oliveira
Published: January 2025

A violência doméstica está presente em todas as classes sociais e é um fenômeno cruelmente cotidiano na sociedade brasileira, mesmo diante da Lei Maria da Penha. Com o objetivo de tornar o feminicídio crime autônomo e agravar a pena deste e de outros crimes praticados contra a mulher por razões da condição do sexo feminino, a Lei nº 14.994/2024 foi publicada em 10 de outubro de 2024. Além disso, esta Lei visa estabelecer outras medidas destinadas a coibir a violência praticada contra a mulher, para tal alterou os artigos 92, 129, 141 e 147 do Código Penal com redação que engloba crimes de violência contra a mulher. Com a Lei nº 14.994/2024, o Código Penal passa a ter o artigo 121-A, tornando o feminicídio um crime autônomo. Outros dispositivos legais também sofreram alterações na Lei Maria da Penha, na Lei de Contravenções Penais, na Lei dos Crimes Hediondos, na Lei de Execuções Penais e no Código de Processo Penal. Diante dessas mudanças, este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentá-las e de discutir como as modificações podem impactar as penas relacionadas aos crimes e as suas implicações no sistema judiciário no âmbito da violência doméstica, refletindo se essas alterações podem influenciar na melhoria da segurança, da saúde e da vida das mulheres no país. A metodologia empregada foi de abordagem qualitativa, com finalidade descritiva e reflexiva.

Authors: Ribeiro Amanda Cristina Barbosa , Bernardes Carla de Paula , Toso Karen Anelize
Published: January 2025

Introdução: O câncer do colo do útero é considerado a principal causa de morte em mulheres no mundo. Objetivo: Identificar as lesões precursoras do HPV em mulheres e cobertura vacinal do HPV no serviço público do Distrito Federal. Método: Estudo descritivo, transversal, de dados secundários, extraídos do banco de dados do DATASUS. Resultados: Observou-se que os exames citopatológicos do colo do útero foram mais frequentes nas lesões de baixo grau (HPV e NIC I). Já às lesões de alto grau (NIC II e NIC III), observou-se que a idade foi de 35 a 59 anos em todos os períodos. A lesão pelo NIC III foi o achado mais frequente em todos os períodos. Os procedimentos mais realizados entre os períodos foi a biópsia (58,4%). Em relação às doses aplicadas da vacina contra o HPV, cerca de 56,8% das doses foram na faixa etária menor que 13 anos. Discussão: Os profissionais de saúde desenvolvam estratégias de comunicação para prevenir o HPV e prevenção da doença, por meio da educação em saúde, materiais educativos para adolescentes e seus responsáveis. HPV tem alta prevalência em mulheres jovens, mas após os 30 anos há uma diminuição independentemente do comportamento sexual. Conclusão: È essencial que os profissionais de saúde desenvolvam estratégias de comunicação para prevenir o HPV e prevenção da doença, por meio da educação em saúde, materiais educativos para adolescentes e seus responsáveis.

Introdução: Os distúrbios gastrointestinais funcionais (DGF) são condições pediátricas frequentes, caracterizadas por sintomas gastrointestinais crônicos sem causas estruturais evidentes. A modulação da microbiota intestinal por probióticos emerge como uma abordagem terapêutica promissora. Objetivo: Avaliar evidências científicas sobre o uso de probióticos no manejo de DGF em crianças, investigando sua eficácia e benefícios potenciais. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa utilizando bases de dados como PubMed, Cochrane e LILACS. Foram incluídos artigos dos últimos cinco anos, publicados em inglês, português ou espanhol. Resultados e discussões: Foram identificados 1382 artigos, e 17 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão e foram selecionados para análise. Evidenciou-se que a eficácia dos probióticos depende da cepa utilizada e do distúrbio tratado, com benefícios observados em condições específicas, como constipação funcional e síndrome do intestino irritável. Entretanto, limitações como amostras reduzidas e alta heterogeneidade metodológica restringem a generalização dos achados. Conclusão: Probióticos representam uma alternativa promissora no manejo de DGF pediátricos. No entanto, estudos adicionais com maior rigor metodológico são necessários para consolidar sua aplicabilidade clínica e definir protocolos terapêuticos específicos.

Este artigo analisa as condições de vulnerabilidade enfrentadas pelas mulheres negras no contexto do abortamento no Brasil, adotando uma perspectiva crítica e decolonial. A temática aborda as interseções entre racismo, gênero e classe, examinando como essas dimensões estruturais influenciam o acesso aos direitos reprodutivos e a vivência do abortamento. O problema de pesquisa concentra-se em compreender como as desigualdades históricas e contemporâneas moldam as experiências das mulheres negras no âmbito reprodutivo e no acesso a serviços de saúde, agravando sua situação de vulnerabilidade. A hipótese sugere que a perpetuação de estruturas racistas e patriarcais nas políticas públicas e nos sistemas de saúde contribui para a exclusão e precarização das mulheres negras, limitando o acesso a um abortamento seguro e às garantias de justiça social. O objetivo geral é propor estratégias de enfrentamento a essas desigualdades, buscando ampliar a efetividade dos direitos reprodutivos sob uma ótica emancipatória. A pesquisa justifica-se pela necessidade de abordar lacunas nas políticas públicas de saúde reprodutiva e pela relevância de visibilizar estudos decoloniais, que oferecem perspectivas transformadoras ao debate. Metodologicamente, adota-se uma abordagem qualitativa baseada em revisão bibliográfica de literatura acadêmica recente e análise crítica de dados e documentos sobre saúde reprodutiva no Brasil. Os resultados indicam que a histórica negligência do Estado em garantir direitos reprodutivos reflete um controle reprodutivo racista e classista. O estudo sugere estratégias baseadas na inclusão interseccional e na promoção de políticas públicas sensíveis às realidades das mulheres negras, contribuindo para a redução das vulnerabilidades e o avanço da justiça reprodutiva.
THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN ATTENTION CONTROL METHODS AND P-HACKING
Authors: Wanat Tomasz
Published: January 2025

The objective of the paper is to identify and specify the role that attention control methods play in the context of p-hacking. The research was based on quantitative case study. The sample consisted of 1,067 respondents from a nationwide Polish survey on life satisfaction related to nutrition. Covariance-based structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) and a suite of statistical methods for detecting inattentive respondents were employed to analyse the data. The paper demonstrates that by using ex post methods to detect inattentive respondents, statistically insignificant hypotheses can be changed to statistically significant ones. This suggests ease and limitless of unethical p-hacking practices that can be related to attention control methods. Reducing unethical behaviour associated with the use of attention control methods requires a combination of ex ante planning for the application of these methods and the pre-registration of research protocols, including specification of methods and cut-off criteria used. Additionally, it necessitates sensitizing authors and reviewers to the importance of transparently reporting ex post attention control methods applied in the studies. This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on questionable research practices and the replication crisis in social sciences. It provides a novel example of how attention control methods can be a source of p-hacking practices, an issue not previously addressed in the literature.
INTRA-ORGANIZATIONAL KNOWLEDGE SHARING AND INNOVATION OF POLISH ENTERPRISES
Authors: Lemańska-Majdzik Anna , Okręglicka Karolina
Published: January 2025

Knowledge sharing plays a key role in the effectiveness of the knowledge management process and contributes to improving the efficiency and stimulating the innovation of enterprises. Knowledge sharing is an important process that affects the improvement of innovation both at the organizational and individual level. However, the SME sector shows limitations in the intra-organizational knowledge sharing process, which may adversely affect the innovativeness of these entities. The main research objective is to identify the level of intra-organizational knowledge sharing in Polish SME enterprises and to diagnose the impact of knowledge sharing on the innovativeness of these enterprises. For the purposes of achieving the main objective and verifying the research hypotheses, a survey was conducted on a group of 355 micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in the Silesian Voivodeship. Statistical analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and the Kendall tau correlation coefficient and showed a positive relationship between the level of knowledge sharing and the innovativeness of SMEs. However, it was not possible to confirm the increasing scope of knowledge sharing with the increase in the size of the enterprise.

Authors: Czajka Krzysztof
Published: January 2025

W artykule przedstawiono metodę oznaczania wartości opałowej koksów z zastosowaniem różnicowej kalorymetrii skaningowej (DSC) połączonej z analizą termograwimetryczną (TGA). Opracowana technika jest alternatywą dla obecnie stosowanych metod. W odróżnieniu od nich, oznaczanie wartości opałowej za pomocą TGA/DSC umożliwia charakteryzowanie miligramowych prób koksów, o różnym stopniu odgazowania, uzyskanych z różnorodnych paliw. Zastosowanie opisywanej metody, pozwala dodatkowo na wyznaczenie zmiany wartości opałowej analizowanych prób, w zależności od stopnia konwersji paliwa oraz pośrednie oznaczenie wartości opałowej części lotnych. Weryfikacji wyników uzyskanych za pomocą techniki TGA/DSC dokonano na podstawie metody znormalizowanej, przy zastosowaniu bomby kalorymetrycznej. Rozbieżności pomiędzy wartościami zmierzonymi dla koksów z biomasy i węgla kamiennego, koksu ponaftowego oraz grafitu wyniosły od 0,2 MJ/kg do 0,8 MJ/kg.
The participation of self government in performing public tasks in the field of economic administration
Authors: Sypniewski Dominik
Published: January 2025

The Constitution of the Republic of Poland indicates the possibility of establishing an economic self-government. In the current legal framework, the term “economic self-government” primarily refers to chambers of commerce. These organizations are formed on the initiative of their members on a voluntary basis and perform private law tasks. For years, there has been a discussion about establishing a general economic self-government based on the principle of mandatory membership by law, performing public tasks, and partially financed by public funds. Such an initiative would be consistent with the concept of civil society, as well as the principles of subsidiarity and decentralization. This article presents an analysis of the four most significant drafts of legal acts concerning economic self-government. However, the scope of consideration is limited exclusively to the tasks that the economic self-government would be required to perform. The aim of the article is to present a catalogue of public tasks of the economic self-government, particularly those public tasks that involve the exercise of public authority.

Legal considerations for authoritative decisions on the location of public investment projects
Authors: Słotwiński Szymon
Published: January 2025

The objective and the central scientific problem of the article is to determine the crucial legal conditions that are of decisive importance when making authoritative decisions on the location of public purpose investments. These determinants are not only decisive for the legality of the decision taken, but directly constitute a source of allegations to which third parties are entitled in the event of infringement of their interests and rights, especially property rights through the location of public purpose investments. The discussion emphasises the differences in the manner of protection of owners and perpetual usufructuaries of real property on which public purpose investments will be located in the light of the models of locating public purpose investments depending on the adoption of a local spatial development plan or a decision on locating a public purpose investment. Subsequently, the consequences of the recognition of an investment project as a public purpose investment are presented and the constitutive features of a public purpose investment are defined. Finally, it is shown that the legal status after 1.01.2026 consisting in the obligation of compatibility between the general plan and the decision locating the public purpose investment is the optimal model for balancing the public interest with the private interest. The text uses a research method in the form of a dogmatic-legal method; however, due to the scarcity of scientific studies, the focus is on the interpretation of legal provisions and the analysis of the rich body of work of the administrative courts.

Published: January 2025

O manejo da dor em neonatos é um desafio crítico devido à incapacidade desses pacientes de expressarem verbalmente seu desconforto e aos potenciais impactos adversos no desenvolvimento neurológico e fisiológico. Este estudo justifica-se pela necessidade de compreender e integrar métodos eficazes e seguros para o controle da dor nessa população vulnerável. O objetivo foi analisar comparativamente as abordagens farmacológicas e não farmacológicas no manejo da dor neonatal, destacando suas implicações para a prática clínica. Foi realizada uma revisão narrativa da literatura em bases de dados como PubMed, SciELO e Google Acadêmico, selecionando estudos publicados nos últimos 12 anos. As intervenções foram categorizadas em farmacológicas, como analgésicos e anestésicos, e não farmacológicas, incluindo cuidado pele a pele, sucção não nutritiva e administração de sacarose. Os resultados evidenciaram que estratégias não farmacológicas, como o método canguru e soluções orais de sacarose, são eficazes na redução da percepção da dor, promovendo conforto e bem-estar sem efeitos adversos significativos. Métodos farmacológicos, como o uso de lidocaína e opioides, são indispensáveis para dores moderadas a severas, mas requerem supervisão rigorosa devido aos riscos associados à imaturidade metabólica dos neonatos. Conclui-se que a combinação de abordagens farmacológicas e não farmacológicas é essencial para o manejo seguro e eficaz da dor neonatal. Essa integração promove intervenções compassivas e baseadas em evidências, melhorando o cuidado clínico e os desfechos a longo prazo para essa população. A implementação de protocolos holísticos e políticas inclusivas é recomendada para otimizar os padrões de cuidado em ambientes neonatais.

O artigo "A Construção do Pensamento Crítico: Perspectivas Históricas, Educacionais e Contemporâneas" aborda a importância do pensamento crítico como uma habilidade essencial para a análise e a tomada de decisões fundamentadas no mundo contemporâneo. Desde suas origens na Grécia Antiga, com a Filosofia e disciplinas como Lógica e Retórica, até os desafios da era digital, o pensamento crítico é apresentado como uma competência multifacetada, que requer reflexão, análise criteriosa e prática sistemática. No âmbito educacional, destaca-se o papel das escolas e universidades na promoção do pensamento crítico por meio da mediação docente, métodos reflexivos e uso do método científico. Esse processo permite que estudantes transcendam o senso comum, desenvolvam competências analíticas, criativas e éticas, e se tornem cidadãos ativos e transformadores. A era da informação, apesar de facilitar o acesso a dados, apresenta riscos como a disseminação de notícias falsas, evidenciando a necessidade de maior rigor analítico. Além disso, o artigo reflete sobre a influência das redes sociais e do consumismo, ressaltando o pensamento crítico como um antídoto contra alienação e superficialidade. Por fim, o artigo reforça que o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico é contínuo, essencial para o fortalecimento do caráter e a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e reflexiva.

Published: January 2025

The left atrial appendage is often closed by doctors performing open-heart surgery to reduce the risk of stroke for patients with atrial fibrillation, yet it’s not clear whether this can prevent strokes in patients who have not been diagnosed with the condition. The LAACS-2 team aim to gain a fuller picture of whether this operation protects against stroke, as Dr Helena Dominguez explains
Saint Joseph White Musser
Authors: Rosetti Cristina M.
Published: January 2025

In 1921, Joseph White Musser was excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for continuing the practice of polygamy after the First and Second Manifestos, the official Church statements that sought to end the practice. A year later, he became involved with a group of Mormons who shared his sympathetic position toward the controversial practice. In the years that followed, Musser became a leader in the emerging movement known as Mormon fundamentalism. His life and written work represent the many people who sought an authentic Mormonism in reaction against increased modernization. His legacy is most apparent in the Apostolic United Brethren, the largest and most televised Mormon fundamentalist religion.
The Order Pertaining to the Ancient of Days
Authors: Rosetti Cristina M.
Published: January 2025

To justify the continuation of polygamy, the early Mormon fundamentalist movement created an alternate priesthood history that accounted for the legitimacy of solemnizing plural marriages. This chapter outlines how Joseph White Musser articulated the history of his faith in opposition to the institutional Church that excommunicated him for polygamy. Through this new priesthood history, Musser placed the men of the fundamentalist movement above the Church as the sole authority necessary to solemnize plural marriages. The priesthood history narrated by Musser remains the history used by the contemporary Mormon fundamentalist movement, who understand themselves as both Mormon and distinct from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Orator, Performer, and Stage Writer Pursuing Social Change
Authors: Dick Bruce Allen
Published: January 2025

Chapter 5 examines Wright’s own oratorical skills, which he developed with more confidence after the publication of Native Son. It also analyzes a number of shorter, rough-draft one-acts Wright wrote that centered on the war and more local color topics. Wright also studied Lajos Egri’s popular text How to Write a Play (1942), writing up a summary that he thought might help guide his own playwriting. This chapter also explores Wright’s newly evolving friendship with Jean-Paul Sartre, who thought enough of Wright’s skills to ask him to proofread, for authenticity and historical accuracy, a manuscript of The Respectful Prostitute, Sartre’s play influenced by the 1931 Scottsboro Boys incident.
Communication and Digital Technology
Authors: KUO RACHEL
Published: January 2025

In conducting community-engaged digital research that is also geared towards action and social transformation, this chapter asks, how do we utilize digital media-based organizing strategies in our public scholarship practices? Using examples from three research projects, this chapter showcase how processes and practices of digital media-based organizing can cultivate relationships that guide community research partnerships and also drive public impact across different media forms. These examples uplift administrative and collective labor as an integral part of research methodologies as well as demonstrates the political limits of institutions. Ultimately, this is a chapter about banal and meticulous processes as well as being creatively unruly and undisciplined—the “non-research” and “non-public” activities that constitute digital public scholarship.
Race and Ethnic Studies

Extending Hospitality
Authors: González Sergio M.
Published: January 2025

Chapter 1 examines how shared religious faith served as a bridge for hospitality between Mexican and white communities in 1920s Milwaukee. More than three thousand Mexican immigrants settled in Milwaukee during this decade, drawn to the city by the promise of industrial employment. While they experienced racial discrimination at their worksites and in the neighborhoods in which they settled, Catholic churches became spaces of safe harbor and reprieve. With the onset of the Cristero War in 1926, Catholics’ efforts to construct a chapel for the Mexican community became part of an interethnic “modern crusade” to protect and invigorate Catholicism across the United States and Mexico. White Catholic clergy and laity tied the preservation of religious liberty abroad with the growth of Milwaukee’s Mexican Catholic congregation, emphasizing the ties of Catholic fellowship that united all believers across national boundaries.
Assimilative Hospitality
Authors: González Sergio M.
Published: January 2025

Chapter 3 explores assimilation efforts among Milwaukee Puerto Ricans in the postwar years. Puerto Ricans became an essential albeit underpaid and exploited sector of Milwaukee’s booming industrial workforce in the postwar years. The rapid growth of this population exacerbated long-simmering issues that the city’s small Black and Mexican populations had faced for decades, including residential segregation, harassment from law enforcement, and limited social and cultural resources. This chapter examines the provisional hospitality offered by civic and religious leaders, who argued that ensuring Puerto Ricans equal treatment required assimilating them into Milwaukee’s larger social structure. The programs they offered focused on urban acculturation and emphasized that integration would require Puerto Ricans to learn English, submit to local law enforcement, and adopt the cultural customs of local churches and communities.
Institutionalizing Hospitality
Authors: González Sergio M.
Published: January 2025

Chapter 4 explores religious hospitality toward Wisconsin Latinos in cities and rural agricultural communities in the midst of the country’s newly declared War on Poverty. In the early 1960s, Catholic and Protestant clergy and laity committed personnel and tens of thousands of dollars to the creation of social service agencies dedicated to welcoming the thousands of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans arriving in Wisconsin. Motivated by a budding spirit of social action within churches and supported by federal funding made available through the newly created Office of Economic Opportunity, these organizations deployed a form of bureaucratized hospitality aimed at closing the economic, social, and educational gaps that persisted between white and Latino residents in the city. The agencies consolidated many of the ad hoc migrant and urban ministry initiatives started by earlier religious groups during the previous two decades, forming a new set of hospitality practices toward Latinos.

Legitimizing Turkey’s Communication Model
Authors: Yesil Bilge
Published: January 2025

This chapter examines Turkish officials’ efforts to legitimize and diffuse Turkey’s securitized communication policies with domestic and foreign constituents. First, it discusses how they appropriate current debates about disinformation and post-truth, discredit social media companies, and advocate for digital sovereignty to legitimize what they refer to as “Turkey’s Communication Model.” Subsequently, it examines these officials’ activities that seek to extend this so-called model to countries in the Global South: hosting media forums, signing cooperation agreements, providing media assistance, and journalism training programs. Throughout this chapter, these endeavors are situated within the context of development communication and NWICO, while highlighting the contradiction between state officials’ claims of democratizing the global communication order and their domestic media crackdown.
Promoting Turkish History and Civilization
Authors: Yesil Bilge
Published: January 2025

This chapter focuses on how the Erdogan government communicates certain histories and knowledges of the Ottoman Empire, Turks and Turkish Islamic civilization as part of its outreach activities. It analyzes AKP-sanctioned historical television dramas that are highly popular with international audiences, as well as the political, economic, and socio-cultural dynamics undergirding these dramas. Additionally, it discusses how Muslim audiences find gratification in these dramas against the backdrop of the realities of the post-September 11 world. The chapter argues that these dramas perpetuate civilizational dualities between Muslims and the West by portraying the latter as oppressive, scheming, and deceitful (sometimes incorporating latent or explicit anti-Semitic content) and thus perpetuating Huntington’s “clash of civilizations” thesis.
California Beach Culture in the 1920s—The Decade of Duke
Authors: Moser Patrick
Published: January 2025

California beach culture flourished during the Great Depression because the ground had been so well prepared during the 1920s by Duke Kahanamoku. Coastal engineering projects of the 1920s also opened up the coast to more Californians. Private beach clubs cultivated aquatic sports and hired lifeguards who formed the core of Los Angeles lifeguard programs. Hollywood had its own impact on beach culture through Kahanamoku and the opening of the Malibu Colony, which lent glamour to life by the beach. Racial restrictions at all levels of society, however, influenced the development of beach culture by limiting, in terms of race and gender, who was and was not allowed to play or prosper in the coastal territory that white Californians were staking out for themselves.
The Waterwoman
Authors: Moser Patrick
Published: January 2025

Mary Ann Hawkins displayed the swimming skills at a young age that would make her the top waterwoman of the 1930s. Despite facing open sexism in the water as she learned to surf, Hawkins and other women contributed to beach culture by forming their own surfing clubs and through competition and social events. Although their enthusiasm for Hawai`i connected them to the great wave of music, dance, and South Seas films inundating southern California, the broader political reality of the ongoing colonization of Hawai`i placed California surfers and Native Hawaiians at odds. Californians displayed either general ignorance about the colonial situation in Hawai`i or a deep denial that refused to acknowledge the injustice taking place against Native Hawaiians.

Authors: Montefusco Renato Zanolla , De Sousa Cidoval Morais , Junior Cildo Giolo , Martos Frederico Thales de Araújo , Calissi Jamile Gonçalves
Published: January 2025

Este estudo parte do pressuposto de que a transformação digital e o avanço das (cripto)realidades estão (re)desenhando as estruturas econômicas e sociais, gerando uma nova semiótica nas dinâmicas econômico-financeiras, especialmente no contexto das “Initial Coin Offerings” (ICOs). A análise centra-se nas transformações do (cripto)mercado, destacando como os significados associados à tokenização econômica e as tecnologias baseadas em “blockchain” reconfiguram práticas, valores e regulações. O objetivo geral é investigar como o Brasil, por meio da Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) e do Banco Central (BCB), adapta suas diretrizes para regular o mercado de criptoativos, equilibrando inovação, segurança e proteção aos investidores. Como objetivos específicos, busca-se: (i) identificar as principais normativas nacionais e internacionais relacionadas aos criptoativos; (ii) compreender o impacto dos criptoativos no mercado de valores mobiliários; e (iii) explorar o papel da tokenização econômica como força transformadora na configuração do mercado digital. A metodologia utilizada é qualitativa e exploratória, baseada no método hipotético-dedutivo, permitindo a formulação de hipóteses sobre como as regulamentações impactam a segurança do mercado digital e a inclusão de investidores A situação-problema considera que a desmaterialização das relações econômicas traz desafios significativos para os reguladores, exigindo uma normatividade adaptável e eficaz. O estudo ressalta que, diante da complexidade e dos riscos dos criptoativos, a construção de políticas regulatórias precisa atender às demandas por inovação, estabilidade financeira e proteção ao consumidor, sem ignorar as transformações semióticas do mercado em face da sociedade algorítmica.
The Anatomy of Grand Corruption and its Impact on Healthcare Delivery: A Review of Ten-year Experience in Tanzania, 2005–2015
Authors:   University of Dar es Salaam, Mpambije Chakupewa Joseph
Published: January 2025

Literature on the corruption menace in Tanzania are not in short supply. There are two levels of corruption, depending on how it manifests: grand and petty. In Tanzania, the former has been on the rise since the neoliberal era. Some past government regimes attempted to squarely fight the vice, while others exerted withered efforts toward fighting it. For instance, the epitome of grand corruption was highly evident between 2005 and 2015, and this resulted in the dwindling provision of social services, including health. Drawing from the state capture theory, and through synthesized literature, this article catalogues major grand corruption scandals of the time in Tanzania, and their far-reaching impacts on health service delivery. The article argues that the perverted grand corruption impairs national budget funds. It was observed that grand corruption affected the health system in terms of shortages of human resources for health and acute out-of-stock medicines and medical supplies. The vice also accelerated petty corruption and community mistrust of the health system. This necessitates solid mechanisms to curb it. It is thus inevitable that the leadership in power needs to continue sharpening the existing strategies that are in place to fight corruption, and designing new measures to curb new venues of corruption. It is suggested that legal instruments be strengthened to back up the strategies that are designed to tackle grand corruption.

Regional and National Public-Private Dialogue Structures in Tanzania: Design, Agenda and Challenges
Authors:   University of Dar es Salaam, Charles Goodluck
Published: January 2025

The main purpose of this study is to analyse the design of regional and national public- private dialogue (PPD) structures in Tanzania, and investigate their main agendas and challenges. The study adopted a qualitative approach that entailed 83 in-depth interviews with senior government officials, representatives of the East African Community (EAC), private sector organisations (PSOs), and development partners. The findings indicate that while the EAC Secretariat and the Regional Summit provided a platform for member states to dialogue on regional issues, the private sector agenda was aligned to the EAC agenda through the East African Business Council (EABC), and regional and national PSOs. However, the private sector-driven PPDs, which included informal forums, prioritised agendas that interested their members. The identified PPD platforms faced challenges of resource limitations; inappropriate design, coordination and representation; inadequate link between regional and national PPDs; inadequate link between sectoral and formal PPDs; and inadequate integration of gender and youth issues. Overall, the study indicates that PPDs create a platform for integrating formal and informal actors into governance processes, especially where both formal and informal systems are functioning together. It recommends bridging the gap between public policy imperatives and the private sector views by encouraging a diversity of voices, and fostering a broad range of interactions through informal and formal PPD structures.
Keywords: public-private dialogue, private sector organisations, public policy, business council, East African Community.

Mahendatanaya is the link river between the two states Andhra Pradesh and Odessa. It is origin from Rayagada hills (Eastern Ghats) and travel through Odessa to Andhra Pradesh, finally join with the Bay of Bengal at Baruvakotturu in Srikakulam. It is not only agricultural resource but also one of the high biodiversity spots in the Srikakulam Wetlands. I studied biodiversity of Mahendratanaya River by the survey method use of fish boats and fish gears along with fisher men and local people. I was collected the different water samples from the different areas and send to laboratory for indention to the values of ph, turbidity, Nitrates and Oxygen levels. Different Ichthyofauna was collected from the 34 sites with the help of fishermen by the use of the boats, fish gears, Fish traps and nets, the catching fishes are preserve in the bamboo traps and ice boxes and identified by IUCN the study time between 2023-2024. In the 30 water samples collected and set to the laboratory identifying for water elements. I was identified 10 orders, 19 families, 38 genus, 58 species of the total collected fishes count more or less 4300, fish conservation, anthropogenic and biodiversity of Ichthyofauna in the MahendratanayaRiver. I calculated the Environmental Tolerance Index (ETI) of the 10 species from the 9 sites of the river and beta diversity.

Integration of a 3D Finite Element Geomechanics Model and Particle Accumulation and Bridging Criteria for Production and Flow Blockage Assessment
Authors: Hamid Osman , Albahrani Hussain , Abdalrahman Eslam M.
Published: January 2025

The study aims to develop an innovative geomechanics model capable of predicting wellbore failure and its impact on reservoir production, addressing the need for accurate assessments of blockage risks throughout a well's lifecycle.

An advanced three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) is employed, incorporating elasto-plastic behavior and a novel algorithm for calculating the volume of failed rock. This model integrates historical production data, well loading variations, and drilling-induced changes in wellbore geometry to evaluate the likelihood of rock failure. The geomechanics model is combined with particle accumulation and bridging criteria to ascertain the conditions leading to production blockage.

The model successfully predicts the conditions under which wellbore failure may occur and identifies critical thresholds for the accumulation of debris that could obstruct fluid flow. Findings indicate that wellbore failure and subsequent particle accumulation significantly depend on the cumulative effects of operational variables, such as mud weight and cyclic loading.

This study introduces a state-of-the-art numerical approach that bridges the gap between geomechanical analysis and production impact assessment. The integration of FEM with particle bridging criteria constitutes a substantial advancement in forecasting and mitigating wellbore failure risks.

The integrated methodology proposed by this research offers a comprehensive tool for risk assessment and decision-making regarding well completions and interventions. By providing a detailed understanding of wellbore failure mechanisms and their consequences, this approach enables the optimization of production strategies and the proactive management of well integrity, ensuring sustained reservoir access and preventing costly downtimes.

Introduction

Wellbore failure represents a significant risk to reservoir accessibility and producibility throughout the lifecycle of a well. Production of reservoir fluids can cause timedependent failure, leading to the disintegration of wellbore rock fragments and their flow with the reservoir fluid to the surface. These rock fragments can have severe abrasive effects on surface pipelines and production facilities. In more severe cases, the failed rock fragments and particles can accumulate downhole, blocking the flow pathway and essentially ceasing production. (Skelton et al., 1995). This negative phenomenon can be exacerbated by one or both of the following drilling-related scenarios:
