Authors: Janicka Zuzanna , Kurpaska Małgorzata , Piotrowicz Katarzyna , Kubiak Marzena , Krzesiński Paweł
Published: May 2024

Wprowadzenie i cele

Wielochorobowość (cukrzyca typu 2, hiperlipidemia, nadciśnienie tętnicze, otyłość, ograniczenie tolerancji wysiłku) stanowią powszechne wyzwanie podczas rehabilitacji kardiologicznej pacjentów z przewlekłym zespołem wieńcowym.

Materiał i metody

U 54-letniego mężczyzny po angioplastyce wieńcowej wdrożono program rehabilitacji kardiologicznej. Pacjent prezentował uogólnione osłabienie siły mięśniowej i cechy fenotypowe akromegalii oraz podwyższone stężenie kinazy kreatynowej i insulinopodobnego czynnika wzrostu 1. W kwalifikacji do rehabilitacji wykorzystano wieloparametryczną ocenę wysiłku podczas ergospirometrii w połączeniu z całościowym badaniem fizjoterapeutycznym. Program kinezyterapii opracowano na podstawie tętna osiąganego na progu beztlenowym i podzielono go na 24 sesje treningu interwałowego na cykloergometrze z telemonitoringiem w ciągu 5 tygodni.

Wyniki

Po drugim etapie rehabilitacji kardiologicznej obserwowano pogorszenie siły mięśniowej, w związku z czym zdecydowano o poszerzeniu diagnostyki. Na podstawie hamowania wydzielania hormonu wzrostu w teście doustnego obciążenia glukozą wykluczono akromegalię. W badaniu rezonansu magnetycznego głowy uwidoczniono wodogłowie normotensyjne, w związku z czym rozpoznano zespół Hakima.

Wnioski

Pacjenci z przewlekłym zespołem wieńcowym wymagają wdrożenia rehabilitacji kardiologicznej możliwie jak najszybciej po interwencji. W trakcie postępowania należy zwracać uwagę na wszelkie niepokojące nieprawidłowości, a zwłaszcza niepowodzenie stosowanych procedur, aby możliwie szybko i właściwie skierować pacjenta na dalszą
diagnostykę i leczenie. Badanie fizjoterapeutyczne wraz z testami wysiłkowymi jest nieodzownym elementem planowania i prowadzenia kinezyterapii w ramach rehabilitacji kardiologicznej, aby zindywidualizować podejście terapeutyczne.

Introduction

Vascular complications are a rare but important risk factor for failure and loss of kidney graft, increasing the mortality of renal graft recipients.

Case report

We present the case of massive haemorrhage due to the rupture of the arterial anastomosis caused by Candida albicans infection in a 64-year old female kidney graft recipient managed with suprapubic iliofemoral bypass during emergency life-saving graft nephrectomy performed in our unit. The postoperative period was complicated by femoral vein thrombosis and intraabdominal fluid collection. After 33 days, with a well-functioning iliofemoral bypass, the patient was discharged to the nephrology unit. At the 12-month follow-up, the patient is functioning well, receiving nephrological care and haemodialysis treatment.

Conclusions

Routine fungal cultures of graft preservation fluid and radiological follow-up in high-risk patients after transplantation may be helpful in the prevention of fatal complications in the high-risk patient group – especially if digestive tract injury occurred during organ harvesting. Nevertheless, histological examination remains the gold standard for the detection of fungal arteritis. Negative culture samples from the preservation fluid, blood and urine before the transplantation do not exclude the risk of fungal infection. Urgent allograft nephrectomy with resection and reconstruction of changed vessels seems to be the safest approach in ruptured anastomotic pseudoaneurysm, as shown in our case.
Qualitative Study Examining Attendance for Secondary School Pupils With Long-Term Physical Health Conditions
Authors: Hopwood Vicky , Pini Simon , Spencer Bethan K. C. , Kitchen Cath
Published: May 2024

For some children and young people (CYP) with long-term physical health conditions (LTPHCs) attending school can be difficult. There is a lack of evidence documenting their school attendance experiences, how schools manage absence for these children, and subsequent effects. This study utilised an existing dataset from eighty-nine 11–18-year-olds in mainstream secondary schools in the United Kingdom across 11 LTPHCs that provided first-hand accounts about the children’s experiences of school. Data pre-coded “attendance” were subject to thematic analysis to explore issues emerging. Findings showed attendance patterns varied, with some CYP missing little and others significant amounts of education. Children with LTPHCs wanted to attend school and did their best to navigate education alongside health. School systems for attendance were inconsistent and adversarial. Remedial and supportive action emerged as lacking, and children felt it was their personal responsibility to make up for lost time and missed work when absent. Decisions on whether they attended school, coupled with practices promoting high attendance had detrimental consequences for CYP with LTPHCs educationally, emotionally and socially. Overall, children with LTPHCs felt punished, stigmatised, unfairly treated, unequal and excluded. Results have implications for education, health, and policy practitioners to better plan and target attention so that the LTPHC cohort are treated sensitively and equitably and afforded their entitlement to education when they cannot go to school for health reasons often outside of their control.

Accounting for Carbon Emissions Among Large U.S. Companies: Does Materiality Matter
Authors: Lopez Katherine J. , Rotaru Camelia S.
Published: May 2024

This paper investigates carbon emissions materiality with regards to financial statements and investigates potential methods of accounting for carbon emission rights. We investigate whether some of the largest U.S. companies should be required to discuss and quantify greenhouse gas emissions, as defined by the GHG Protocol, in the required 10-K annual report. Our analysis uses a new metric, based on social carbon cost, that suggests social cost of carbon emissions could be material, and supports the need for transparent accounting of the financial impact of carbon emissions in the required 10-K annual report. We searched each company’s 10-K for information on climate change and emissions-related disclosures. We found that while most companies acknowledge climate change as a risk factor, their 10-K narratives do not discuss or explain the impact of emissions on financial performance. Our findings suggest that climate-related factors are not being appropriately captured in current 10-Ks despite increasing calls for greater transparency on climate-related exposure, raising concerns that investors are not receiving the appropriate information necessary to evaluate investments. Providing such information would allow investors to gain a better understanding of company risks, and enhance their ability to make better investment choices.
I Was Gonna Fight Fascism…The Need for a Critical Approach to Illiberalism
Authors: Mondon Aurelien
Published: May 2024

Illiberalism, much like populism, has become a buzzword. While some excellent research has been done on the matter, helping us make sense of our current political moment, much of the discourse around the term has made it blurrier and been outright counterproductive in the defence of democracy. Often, the use of illiberalism has led to a flattening and simplification of the complex nature of politics, pitting an ideal, fantasised version of liberalism against a caricatural, homogenous and exceptionalising version of illiberalism. While those defending the former are widely considered not only unable to respond to, but at the origin of the many crises our societies and planet are facing, they are justified if only through the comparison with the latter: we are bad, but they are worse. This has not only been counterproductive with regards to addressing said crises, but it has legitimised certain illiberal alternatives, found on the far right in particular, both as alternatives to the status quo, and through the false equivalence it constructs with alternatives on the left which seek to explore beyond the liberal fantasy. To address this vicious circle, it is essential to take a critical approach to illiberalism as a concept. This short piece outlines three essential starting points: 1. Liberalism should not be constructed as an innate good, as homogenous and as above critique; 2. Critical takes on liberalism should not be automatically equated with siding with the reactionary kind of illiberalism; 3. There should be an unequivocal denunciation of far right/reactionary politics with no compromise or absorption.
The Ambivalence of the Liberal-Illiberal Dynamic
Authors: Hennig Anja
Published: May 2024

This essay discusses the democratic ambivalences of situations when researchers or academic institutions have to decide whom to provide a platform, where to draw red lines even at the expense of freedom of speech, whether to hide certain information, and how to label “illiberal” actors in academic pieces—questions which reflect also one’s position within academia. The article draws on the experience with the unexpected performance of an academic roundtable discussion in the East German city of Frankfurt (Oder) planned to be about weekly local street protests, which eventually was joined by the street protesters themselves. During the pandemic, these marches contested covid restrictions. With the onset of the Russian war on Ukraine, they had transformed into protests against high energy costs, in support of Putin, and against the German government. This type of protest movement resembles a typical expression of contemporary illiberalism: an ideologically heterogeneous milieu from far-right to politically conservative, if not leftist-minded people, who unite a skepticism towards the democratic state, the rejection of public media, and an affinity for conspiracy theories. The German context is particularly challenging as these “Monday demonstrations” prevailing in East Germany entail a reference to the freedom and democracy claims of the 1989 revolution, and reveal unequal conditions between East and West.
Research on Conservative Islam in Europe: Navigating Ethical Considerations
Authors: Sibgatullina Gulnaz
Published: May 2024

This contribution discusses the ethical dilemmas inherent in researching marginalized communities, particularly in contexts where security approaches predominate. Focusing on a project involving white male converts to Islam who express critiques of liberal norms and institutions, this paper explores why such research is necessary despite the risk of amplifying illiberal voices. It also addresses the methodological challenges of conducting such research, considering the safety and well-being of different actors: the researcher, their respondents, and those who may be adversely affected by the exclusivist rhetoric of an illiberal community.
Success and Harm When Researching the Far Right: Researcher Safety as Epistemic Exclusion
Authors: Vaughan Antonia
Published: May 2024

Harm experienced while researching the far right can be encountered through, or sparked by, core academic activities which reduce the distance between the researcher and potentially hostile actors. Currently, advice to manage such risks is directed towards the individual, made responsible by a neoliberal industry and lack of institutional knowledge. However, the ability of researchers to implement such advice is stymied by success metrics that reward visibility and productivity, producing a contradiction between success and safety—satisfying one risks jeopardizing the other. The contradiction is not evenly experienced, with those at the sharp end of the far right disproportionately vulnerable to such harm and thus subject to such “choices.”
Entrepreneurial Exposure Effect
Authors: A. O Ebose, , A. J. Egwakhe, , I. A Nwankwere, , F. I Akande, , E. J Umukoro,
Published: May 2024

The paper investigated whether prior entrepreneurial exposure moderated the effect of entrepreneurial leadership and learning orientation on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) growth. A cross-sectional survey research design was utilized to retrieve data from 471 owners/managers of SMEs in South-West Nigeria. The simple random sampling technique was applied. The results from the pilot study were used to determine the test of reliability and validity of the adapted questionnaire. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis findings showed that entrepreneurial leadership and learning orientation effect on SME growth is not significantly moderated by prior entrepreneurial exposure in South-West, Nigeria [(βiz= 0.002, t = 22.771, p>0.05)], although it has a positive effect. SME owners and managers should leverage their entrepreneurial insights and experiences to inform strategic initiatives, foster innovation, and drive growth. Additionally, creating opportunities for knowledge exchange and collaboration among individuals with diverse entrepreneurial backgrounds could enrich the organizational learning process and fuel innovation. Nevertheless, there are no guarantees that prior entrepreneurial exposure would affect firm growth.

Authors: Mongjam Alice , Sorokhaibam Robita , Singh Salam Romen
Published: May 2024

The present paper aims to examine the effectiveness of Entrepreneurship Development Programme (EDP) offered by the Institute of Co-operative Management (ICM) on the venture creation aspect of the trainees of this institute. The researchers collected data from 404 respondents trained by ICM using a structured schedule through face-to-face interview and telephone calling. Data was analyzed using SPSS software. The findings reveal that the EDP training influences its trainees to become the first-generation entrepreneurs in their families. A significant 68.56% established their ventures post-EDP training. Additionally, the study highlights the marked changes in both occupation and income levels of EDP participants. According to the findings of the study, there is a need to check the efficacy of the system of loan sanction as it affects the process of venture creation. In conclusion, these findings underscore the value of EDPs as a catalyst for regional economic development.

Published: May 2024

La micropropagación de teca (Tectona grandis Linn F.) permite multiplicar plantas elites de forma asexual en ambientes controlados. Con el empleo de biorreactores económicos de inmersión temporal, innovación generada en el laboratorio de cultivo de tejidos de la Universidad Nacional Agraria, en Managua, Nicaragua, se realizó esta investigación con el objetivo de evaluar el efecto de reguladores del crecimiento en yemas apicales y axilares en las fases de multiplicación y enraizamiento. Este trabajo se desarrolló en tres fases posteriores a la obtención del material vegetal in vitro que corresponden a: 1) respuesta morfogénica de segmentos de tallos, 2) respuesta morfogénica a la densidad de siembra y 3) respuesta rizogénica de segmentos de tallos. Se demostró que, en la micropropagación de teca con yemas apicales individuales y segmentos de tallos con un entrenudo y sin yema apical, resultó mejor el promedio de número de hojas con la adición de 1.00 mg L-1 de 6-BAP y 0.10 mg L-1 de GA3, mientras que con yemas apicales con dos o tres entrenudos el promedio de número de hojas resultó superior en el medio de cultivo que contenía 0.50 mg L-1 de 6-BAP combinado con 0.05 o 0.10 mg L-1 de GA3. La densidad de siembra de 30 yemas apicales con dos entrenudos y densidad de 40 yemas apicales o axilares logra mayor número de hojas. Con yemas apicales y axilares con dos entrenudos, las variables longitud del tallo, número de hojas y número de raíces, presentan similar comportamiento con las adiciones de 0.25 mg L-1, 0.50 mg L-1 y 0.75 mg L-1 de ácido indol acético, además, la categoría de buen vigor se obtiene en mayor porcentaje (60 % - 70 %) con el uso de estas variantes de medio de cultivo.
Mulheres negras trabalhadoras domésticas e a pandemia: uma análise interseccional dos impactos da crise
Authors: Abreu Tanielle Cristina dos Anjos , Soares Brenda Vanessa Pereira , Passador João Luiz
Published: May 2024

Este artigo investiga os impactos da pandemia de Covid-19 sobre mulheres negras que atuam como trabalhadoras domésticas no Brasil, utilizando uma abordagem interseccional. Através de revisões bibliográficas e documentais complementadas por entrevista semiestruturada, o estudo examina como a intersecção de raça, gênero e classe social influencia as experiências dessas mulheres em meio à crise sanitária global. O método empírico incluiu uma entrevista detalhada com a secretária de Políticas para Mulheres da Federação Nacional das Trabalhadoras Domésticas (FENATRAD), que também é a liderança do Sindicato das Trabalhadoras Domésticas do estado do Maranhão. Além disso, realizamos uma análise de conteúdo qualitativa dos dados coletados, permitindo uma reflexão profunda sobre os efeitos da pandemia em sociedades marcadas por profundas desigualdades estruturais, como é o caso do Brasil, uma nação fundamentada nos pilares do racismo e do patriarcado desde sua formação sócio-histórica. Os resultados destacam como a pandemia não apenas exacerbou as desigualdades pré-existentes, mas também ampliou a marginalização de mulheres negras no mercado de trabalho. A pesquisa revelou que as desigualdades sociais, raciais e de gênero, que são legados da nossa herança colonial, negam continuamente às mulheres negras trabalhadoras domésticas direitos sociais fundamentais como acesso à educação, saúde adequada, e condições dignas de vida e trabalho. Essas privações posicionam-nas em uma situação de vulnerabilidade social aumentada, tornando-as uma das categorias de trabalhadores mais suscetíveis à contaminação e morte pelo vírus da Covid-19 durante a pandemia. A conclusão aponta para a necessidade urgente de implementação de políticas públicas específicas que possam mitigar esses impactos e promover a equidade no acesso a direitos e oportunidades, de modo que possam oferecer não apenas alívio imediato, mas também soluções de longo prazo para a desigualdade estrutural que afeta essas trabalhadoras, visando uma sociedade mais justa e inclusiva.

Este estudo investigou o papel do letramento digital na formação de professores, um tema emergente frente à crescente integração das tecnologias digitais na educação. O problema central abordado foi a necessidade de incorporar o letramento digital nos currículos de formação docente, para preparar os educadores para usar as tecnologias digitais em suas práticas pedagógicas. O objetivo geral do trabalho foi analisar como o letramento digital é integrado na formação de professores e identificar as implicações para a prática educativa e o desenvolvimento profissional. A metodologia adotada consistiu em uma revisão de literatura, através da qual foram coletados e analisados dados de publicações pré-existentes relacionadas ao letramento digital e à formação de professores. A análise enfocou identificar as estratégias utilizadas, os desafios enfrentados e as melhores práticas recomendadas na literatura. Os resultados indicaram que, apesar do reconhecimento da importância do letramento digital, muitos programas de formação de professores ainda carecem de uma integração eficaz e abrangente desta competência. Observou-se que barreiras como a falta de infraestrutura adequada e a resistência à mudança por parte dos educadores são significativas, mas superáveis com políticas apropriadas e suporte institucional. As considerações finais destacaram a necessidade urgente de revisão dos currículos dos cursos de formação de professores, incorporando o letramento digital de forma sistemática e sustentada, e enfatizaram a autoformação como um aspecto crítico nesse processo. Recomenda-se que as instituições educacionais, em colaboração com os formuladores de políticas, promovam uma abordagem mais proativa na preparação dos professores para enfrentar os desafios educacionais contemporâneos em um ambiente cada vez mais digital, incentivando um processo contínuo de aprendizado e adaptação que reflete os princípios da Pedagogia da Infância de Formosinho, a visão de Profissão Professor de Nóvoa, e os Saberes Docentes e Formação Profissional discutidos por Tardif.

Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica extensa, utilizando como fontes principais os estudos recentes que discutem as implicações dessas tecnologias e práticas pedagógicas no ambiente educacional. Os resultados da análise indicaram que, embora as tecnologias digitais e as metodologias ativas ofereçam significativas oportunidades para enriquecer a experiência educacional, sua implementação efetiva ainda enfrenta numerosos desafios. Estes incluem a necessidade de desenvolvimento profissional contínuo para os educadores, a superação da resistência ao novo e a garantia de acesso equitativo às tecnologias. Através da lente dos trabalhos de Formosinho (2007), Nóvoa (1991) e Tardif (2002), é possível perceber que a integração eficaz dessas inovações pedagógicas requer mais do que apenas mudanças estruturais ou curriculares; ela exige uma transformação na maneira como os educadores percebem seu próprio processo de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento. Formosinho propõe que a pedagogia da infância deve envolver um diálogo contínuo com o passado e o futuro, enfatizando a importância da autoformação na adaptação às novas demandas educacionais. Nóvoa realça que a profissão docente deve ser vista como uma constante construção de identidade, implicando numa reflexão crítica sobre as práticas pedagógicas e na disposição para aprender ao longo da vida. Tardif complementa estas ideias ao discutir que os saberes docentes são dinâmicos e construídos na interação entre teoria e prática, ressaltando a necessidade de uma formação que seja adaptativa e responsiva às mudanças tecnológicas e metodológicas. As considerações finais destacaram a necessidade de políticas educacionais e de um comprometimento com a formação contínua dos professores para que a integração de tecnologias digitais e metodologias ativas seja bem-sucedida. Sublinhou-se também a importância de uma colaboração efetiva entre os diversos stakeholders na educação para promover um ambiente de aprendizado que seja inclusivo e eficaz. Ressalta-se, assim, a necessidade de um modelo de formação docente que não apenas ensine técnicas, mas que também fomente a autoformação, a adaptabilidade e o desenvolvimento profissional contínuo, preparando os educadores para serem agentes ativos na transformação educacional.
Association between Child Mortality and Healthcare Facility Level Factors: Evidence from Nationally Representative Survey
Authors: Kabir Md Awal
Published: May 2024

Child mortality is an important indicator of child health and overall national development. Under-five mortality is unacceptably high in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) including Bangladesh. Increased availability and access to the healthcare services can play a significant role to reduce under-five mortality. The aim of this study was to explore the associations of several forms of child mortality with health facility level factors. Data were extracted from the 2017-18 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data and 2017 Bangladesh Health Facility Survey data. Three outcome variables were considered: neonatal mortality, infant mortality, and under-five mortality in this study. Health facility level factors were considered as major explanatory variables. They were the availability of the child healthcare services at the nearest healthcare facility, readiness of the nearest healthcare facility to provide child healthcare services and the average distance of the nearest healthcare facility providing child healthcare services. Multilevel mixed-effect logistic regression model was used to determine the associations between the outcome variables and explanatory variables adjusted for covariates. We reported under-five, infant and neonatal mortality were 40, 37, and 30 per 1000 live births, respectively. The likelihood of neonatal and infant mortality was found to be declined for one-unit increase on the availability and readiness of the mothers’ homes nearest healthcare facilities to provide child healthcare services. On contrary, for every kilometre increased distance between mothers’ homes and their nearest healthcare facility was found to be associated with increased in the likelihoods of neonatal, infant and under-five mortality. The availability of health facilities providing child healthcare services close to residence and their improved management, infrastructure, and readiness to provide child healthcare services play a significant role in reducing under-five mortality in Bangladesh. Policies and programs should prioritize to increase the availability and accessibility of health facilities that provide child healthcare services.

This study sought to evaluate the efficacy of physical therapy on both activities of daily living (ADLs) and life participation among hemodialysis patients. Modified questionnaires were used for data collection, specifically the Barthel Activities of Daily Living Index and the Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form (KDQOL-SF) Survey. Statistical analyses, including Chi-Square and Paired Sample T-test, were utilized to investigate the correlation between patient independence in ADLs and their level of life participation before and during physical therapy treatment. The findings, derived from data collected from a sample of 32 respondents, revealed a statistically significant improvement in patients’ independence in ADLs following physical therapy intervention. This underscores the positive impact of therapeutic measures on ADLs. Additionally, a notable increase in the extent of patients’ life participation was observed during physical therapy treatment, indicating a significant improvement in this aspect. This study underscores the beneficial effects of physical therapy in enhancing functional abilities, particularly in improving ADLs among hemodialysis patients. It underscores the importance of such interventions in enriching the overall quality of life for individuals undergoing hemodialysis.

Published: May 2024

Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by mutations in the NF1 gene, with near complete penetrance and variable clinical presentation. Patients classically have café-au-lait macules, neurofibromas, skin freckles, and Lisch nodules, among other multisystemic features. Long-term management in a multidisciplinary team focuses on surveillance and treating complications. NF1 is a rare disease in Kenya, often leading to myths and misconceptions about its nature, especially among rural communities. We present a classical case from rural Kenya whose diagnosis was delayed by a belief that it was the result of a curse. We aim to highlight the importance of making this diagnosis and its linkage to a long-term care plan within a primary health care setting.
Adaptacija postojećih ravnih krovova solitera u zelene krovove na području Općine Kakanj u cilju osnaživanja i promovisanja koncepta urbane poljoprivrede

Published: May 2024

The Municipality of Kakanj, an industrial municipality, emphasizes the crucial importance of environmental preservation, development encouragement, and the improvement of urban agriculture. In urban planning, a return to fundamental values aligned with population needs is essential. Urban spaces should encompass functions related to housing, livelihoods, social utility, and interaction. However, the issue arises with the reduction of green areas due to building construction, causing a disconnect between people and nature in their fast-paced urban daily lives. For this reason, green roofs on residential buildings are one way for residents to have daily contact with greenery, ultimately promoting a healthier and more active lifestyle. The creation of green roofs often provides the opportunity for urban beekeeping (depending on the location), which has been considered one of the solutions to the bee extinction problem and the increase in pollinators in recent years.
The aim of this project is to develop a conceptual plan for adapting the existing flat roofs of three towers (S-1, S-2, S-3) built in the 1980s in the Municipality of Kakanj into green roofs. These green roofs will create the potential to strengthen and expand the importance of urban agriculture, bringing a range of ecological, social, and economic benefits. This project seeks to redefine the skyline by replacing conventional roofs with lush green roofs, nurturing a harmonious blend of nature and urban life.
From echo chamber to orchestra: Orchestrating job empowerment for deaf employees in Jeddah
Authors: Basonbul Najwa , Fassi Fatima
Published: May 2024

Deaf individuals in the Saudi labour market face significant hurdles, adversely impacting their professional integration. This study investigates the reality of job empowerment for Deaf employees from their perspective in Jeddah, aiming to illuminate the nuances of their experiences. A qualitative approach employed interviews with twelve Deaf employees, purposively sampled from the community. The findings paint a complex picture. While overall relations appear positive, a stark gender disparity emerges in workplace power dynamics and opportunities. Deaf males enjoy greater autonomy, wield influence and navigate responsibilities relatively easily. Deaf women, however, encounter discriminatory practices, are often excluded from crucial decision-making processes and professional engagements. This study underscores the urgent need for concrete measures to combat workplace gender bias and empower Deaf females. Business institutions must prioritize equal opportunities for employment, training, and development by fostering inclusive work environments and providing targeted support for Deaf females. Such findings provide an in-depth understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by Deaf employees, particularly navigating the complexities of gender dynamics within the professional sphere. Further research is warranted to explore effective strategies for fostering equitable and empowering workplaces for Deaf individuals of all genders, ultimately promoting their successful integration into the Saudi labour market.

O iogurte é um produto obtido por fermentação láctica que possui ampla aceitação pela população. Visando agregar valor funcional a esse alimento, o trabalho teve como objetivo a elaboração e caracterização físico-química de três formulações de iogurte com 370g goiaba e 80g de beterraba enriquecido com frutooligossacarídeo (FOS). Foram preparadas três amostras diferentes sendo, formulação A (sem adição de FOS); formulação B (5g de FOS/porção de 200g) e formulação C (10g de FOS/ porção de 200g). Após elaboração, os produtos foram caracterizados físico-quimicamente através das análises de acidez, cinzas, umidade, pH, proteínas, lipídeos e carboidratos para avaliar se os iogurtes estavam em conformidade com os padrões estabelecidos pela legislação. Os resultados físico-químicos indicaram que o teor de acidez (1,00 a 0,94%), umidade (78,16 a 76,6%) e carboidratos (14,41 a 12,45%) não apresentaram diferenças estatísticas entre as três formulações. Conclui-se que, o uso de prebióticos em iogurtes, aliado à utilização de frutas e hortaliças de baixo custo e elevado valor nutricional, como a goiaba e a beterraba, faz com que este produto traga uma nova opção de alimento com potencial funcional para os consumidores.
