ABSTRACT In recent years, the diagnostic accuracy of Alzheimer’s disease has been enhanced by the development of different types of biomarkers that indicate the presence of neuropathological processes. In addition to improving patient selection for clinical trials, biomarkers can assess the effects of new treatments on pathological processes. However, there is concern about the indiscriminate and poorly supported use of biomarkers, especially in asymptomatic individuals or those with subjective cognitive decline. Difficulties interpreting these tests, high costs, and unequal access make this scenario even more challenging in healthcare. This article presents the recommendations from the Scientific Department of Cognitive Neurology and Aging of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology (Departamento Científico de Neurologia Cognitiva e Envelhecimento da Academia Brasileira de Neurologia) regarding the rational use and interpretation of Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers in clinical practice. The clinical diagnosis of cognitive-behavioral syndrome is recommended as the initial step to guide the request for biomarkers.
Tornar-se sujeito de uma profissão: contornos de si gestados entre os fragmentos de um currículo de formação em Educação Física
Authors: Oliveira Glaurea Nádia Borges de , Neira Marcos Garcia
Published: November 2024

Abstract This article problematizes professional subjectivations produced in a physical education undergraduate curriculum that tried to house broad work expectations in a single formative track, which included both acting in K-12 education and non-school contexts. Moved by post-structuralist assumptions, this problematization conceives the curriculum as a device, a weave-image composed of truths, power relations, and subject fabrication processes, whose analytical construction is made possible through a methodological gesture of a cartographic nature. From the narratives of graduates who followed the curriculum in question, two figures or characters emerged who, when described, have been delineated and recognized within Physical Education. These figures put us in front of distinct and dissonant ways of obliging oneself with professional truths, dissolving the plenitude of certain unifying pretensions that echo in this training field.
O trote como crise sacrificial na universidade: a violência fora de controle
Authors: Almeida Jr. Antônio Ribeiro de , Zuin Antônio A. S.
Published: November 2024

Abstract Based on René Girard, this study aims to analyze university hazing as a sacrificial crisis that triggers practices of violence out of control. Texts by Pierre Clastres, Van Gennep, and Victor Turner were used as the theoretical background of this study. We methodologically analyzed university hazing based on these authors’ considerations on violent rites, investigating hazing behaviors as shaved heads, body painting, “hazing classes,” university campaigns against hazing, and “solidary hazing.” We found the necessity of critical analyses on hazing so universities install new forms of welcoming students without any use of humiliation, subjection, or violence.

Adotou-se como metodologia de estudo a pesquisa bibliográfica por meio do levantamento em fontes primárias de obras de Paulo Freire e secundárias de comentadores do seu trabalho. Concluiu-se que o período analisado, denominado de fase da pedagogia da democracia, constitui-se como referência capital para a educação crítica de adultos trabalhadores.
São Paulo state education plan (2016-2026): debates and contests
Authors: Jacomini Márcia Aparecida
Published: November 2024

Abstract This study aims to analyze the participation of civil society and political society and the construction of hegemony in the process of elaborating and approving the State Education Plan (PEE-SP 2016-2016). This qualitative research involved semi-structured interviews and documental analysis. The analysis of the construction process of the São Paulo education plan suggests that its Department of Education was effectively uninterested in discussing the São Paulo education policy in a forum that gathered a group of entities that were excluded from educational decisions in the previous two decades, mainly because its interlocutors included sectors of civil society that were linked to capital. In view of this, little progress has been made in educational planning with the PEE-SP 2016-2026.
Movilidades climáticas. Avanzando por la senda de los estudios sobre migración y cambio climático. Introducción al monográfico
Authors: Lacomba Joan , Felipe Beatriz
Published: November 2024

Resumen Los impactos adversos del cambio climático y otros factores de degradación ambiental están afectando a las poblaciones de todo el planeta. En determinadas ocasiones, sobre todo en casos de poblaciones vulnerabilizadas, especialmente en el Sur global, estas poblaciones se trasladan para poder sobrevivir o para hacer frente a estas circunstancias adversas. Las movilidades climáticas son, hoy en día, una realidad en todas partes del mundo. A pesar de esta constatación, todavía hay lagunas persistentes en torno a la denominación, las cifras y la protección jurídica, entre otras. Precisamente, el presente monográfico contribuye a profundizar en el conocimiento del estado actual de las movilidades climáticas y sus implicaciones a diferentes niveles, así como a avanzar hacia el conocimiento de estas realidades y el reconocimiento y la protección de las personas afectadas.
Reflexiones sobre la relación entre cambio climático y movilidades: perspectivas de gobernanza, securitismo y justicia
Authors: Martínez Lucía Pérez , Redín Gabriel , Forero Jorge Enrique
Published: November 2024

Resumen En los últimos años la cuestión de las movilidades climáticas ha sido objeto de considerable discusión, no solo en los escenarios internacionales de gobernanza climática, sino también en la academia y en el ámbito más amplio de la cooperación internacional. En ese sentido, este artículo se propone hacer una revisión narrativa de la literatura existente sobre el tema, a partir de la cual identificar algunos desafíos para la agenda de investigación futura, en especial aquella ligada a la gobernanza de las movilidades humanas que, a nuestro criterio, corre el riesgo de ceder al securitismo. Por el contrario, apostamos por hacer una reflexión política de este fenómeno, y por enfatizar en la justicia migrante y climática como ejes de acción futura.
Forced Migration from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to the United States: identifying environmental refugees in multicausality
Authors: Cabral Victor
Published: November 2024

Abstract This article discusses natural disasters as the main factor that have led to forced migration processes in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to the United States between 2018 and 2023. These three countries have similarities in that their contexts of poverty and violence that force people to flee from them. They are also considered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to be some of the most vulnerable places in Latin America to climate change. We analyzed data on internal displacement and asylum-seekers from these countries; statistics on the apprehension of migrants at the Southwest land border of the United States; data on natural disasters. This article aims to show that disasters can influence internal and international forced migration. By identifying potential environmental refugees in Central American migrations, we hope to draw attention to the need for legal protection for these people in situations of vulnerability.

Authors: Aboussi Mourad , Royo Isabel , Perelló María Isolda , Cloquell Alexis
Published: November 2024

Resumen El cambio climático y la movilidad humana constituyen un gran desafío dentro de aquellos contextos transnacionales conectados por rutas migratorias, como sucede en el espacio euromediterráneo y, en especial, el ámbito hispano-marroquí, escenario de emisión, tránsito y entrada de flujos migratorios, además de desplazamientos forzados por la variabilidad climática y los desastres. Por ello, nuestro objeto de estudio se centra en la cooperación hispano-marroquí, con el fin de valorar la alineación de las prioridades estratégicas de la Cooperación Española con los objetivos del país vecino y sus iniciativas frente a las consecuencias del cambio climático, enfatizando especialmente en la armonización de estas actuaciones con los compromisos e instrumentos internacionales. Los resultados arrojan luz sobre el esfuerzo de planificación y la falta de mayores mecanismos de coordinación para una inversión más efectiva en la lucha contra este fenómeno.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT Motivated by the desire to generate social transformation, Larissa created the Match & Matters platform to connect agents focused on businesses with a positive socio-environmental impact, aiming to align profit with socio-environmental benefits. Despite the support of senior management at Deloitte, the company where she worked and where she decided to become an intrapreneur, and despite M&M’s potential to integrate business areas, Larissa faced challenges regarding the profitability of the platform compared to the business models already consolidated in the organization. However, she felt anxious about the platform’s future within the company and about how to demonstrate its business potential in an organization with already established niches. Thus, the dilemma was how to maximize the platform’s opportunities and overcome challenges to maintain its viability, balancing positive impact and open innovation within a traditional corporate environment. This teaching case presents Larissa’s journey, highlighting the concepts of: entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship to achieve professional goals; open innovation to create effective solutions; and Sustainability to promote positive transformations, considering the economic, social, and environmental aspects within an innovative business model.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the routine and implications on the mental health of hospitalized children with cancer, from the perspective of family members. Method: Qualitative research, carried out with 11 relatives of children hospitalized in an oncopediatric inpatient unit, during the month of September 2022. The information was produced through semi-structured interviews and was analyzed according to Minayo's Thematic Analysis, emerging two categories: “The child’s routine during hospitalization” and “The child’s mental health during hospitalization”. Results: In the child's routine, participants noticed changes caused by the hospital environment that do not coincide with family dynamics. However, the presence of the multidisciplinary team mitigates the strangeness experienced in this process. Regarding mental health, the feelings experienced by these children included anger, longing, and sadness, resulting in behaviors such as discouragement and aggression. These repercussions are associated with the child's confused understanding of their illness. Final Considerations: The perspectives of family members contributed for a reflection on the health and illness process of pediatric patients undergoing cancer treatments, as they play an essential role in care, closely monitoring everything that comes to pass in the daily lives of these children in the hospital environment.

Abstract Introduction supermarket cashiers were considered essential and worked during the COVID-19 quarantine, but were not prioritized for the vaccine despite extreme exposure. Objective to investigate the subjective experiences of cashiers during the covid-19 pandemic. Methods descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative approach. The subjects were cashiers of both sexes, from June to October 2021. Semi-structured interviews were conducted online to explore subjective aspects of the work. The recruitment took place in a Facebook group of the category. The comprehensive thematic analysis was based on the psychodynamics of work. Results supermarket cashier work is precarious. The pandemic caused fatigue, emotional exhaustion, sadness. Exposure to the public caused a perception of risk contamination, fear, intensification of preexisting tensions with customers and managers. The categorization of “essencial work” associated with not prioritizing vaccination mobilized anger, feelings of injustice, devaluation and helplessness. The lack of recognition accentuates suffering, leads to subjective demobilization, undermines identity and deteriorates mental health. Conclusions it is necessary to give the word, in a therapeutic context and in the collective public space, to people who work in supermarket cashier operations, enabling the politicization of the discourse.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT The quality of water distribution and the coefficients that express water use efficiency are evaluated from the distribution of the irrigation depth (I). However, a hypothesis has been proposed that it may be more effective to base these analyses on the water depth stored in the soil profile (H), after irrigation. To evaluate this hypothesis, in a very clayey soil, bean was cultivated under irrigation by conventional sprinkling, with four scenarios of water application uniformity. During the crop cycle, irrigations were carried out, scheduled according to a lower limit of soil-water potential. The four scenarios were associated with 64, 144, 192 and 256 experimental points, which were characterized as having excellent (S1), adequate (S2), inadequate (S3) and unacceptable (S4) uniformity, according to obtained values of Christiansen’s uniformity coefficient (CUC) and distribution uniformity coefficient (DUC). At the end of the cycle, harvest was carried out in each grid, obtaining the crop yield. The uniformity of water distribution in the soil negatively impact crop yield only in S4, with an unacceptable water application pattern. The irrigation quality analysis based on values of H is more consistent with the results observed for the crop than the analysis based on the applied water depth.
Contribuições de Paulo Freire para a melhoria da relação médico-paciente
Authors: Carmes Braulino Alexandre , Tesser Charles Dalcanale , Cutolo Luiz Roberto Agea
Published: November 2024

RESUMO Uma ‘boa’ relação médico-paciente é fundamental para uma prática clínica efetiva no Sistema Único de Saúde. São comuns, na prática clínica, os problemas de comunicação, o autoritarismo e certa desconsideração da situação existencial e da agenda dos usuários. Paulo Freire tratou de temas similares na educação, sendo menos aproveitado para ensino e prática da condução dos atendimentos médicos. O objetivo deste ensaio foi sintetizar contribuições das ideias freirianas para construção/melhoria da relação médico-paciente em contexto clínico ambulatorial. Metodologicamente, foi realizada uma análise de literatura articulando aspectos da relação médico-paciente e ideias de Freire. A análise consistiu em leitura e síntese livre de obras selecionadas sobre a relação clínica e das ideias contidas nos principais livros de Freire, consideradas pertinentes a essa temática (primeiro e segundo tópicos do artigo). Seguiuse uma síntese das contribuições freirianas, organizadas em cinco temas: reforço ao desafio de desviar da objetificação do usuário; concepção emancipadora, crítica e participativa da relação médico-paciente e dos seus aspectos educativos; importância do mundo da vida dos usuários; importância de abrir e manter o diálogo; ‘bem’ manejar as dinâmicas de poder. As ideias de Freire continuam muito relevantes e contribuem para o ensino e a melhoria da prática clínica ambulatorial.

ABSTRACT Neuromuscular scoliosis usually involves patients in poor health conditions. In this context, minimizing intraoperative bleeding and length of hospital stay is essential while maintaining good clinical and radiological outcomes for the patient. Objective: The study aims to assess how variables such as age, weight, blood loss, and especially total surgical time influence the duration of hospital stay and identify a possible correlation between osteotomies and estimated blood loss. Method: This is a retrospective observational study where data was collected between January 2021 and December 2022. The inclusion criteria consisted of patients diagnosed with cerebral palsy GMFCS V suffering from neuromuscular scoliosis undergoing spine surgery for scoliosis correction, without age restrictions. Correlation analysis and linear regression were performed using the variables of interest, and p < .05 was accepted as a statistically significant difference. Results: A total of 26 patients were included, 14 males and 12 females. The median age was 13 years, and the median length of stay was 8 days. There was a significant, moderate, positive correlation between total surgical time and length of stay amongst class V surgically treated patients, r(24)= .39, p = .043. Conclusions: Prolonging the surgical procedure correlates with an extended hospital length of stay amongst surgically treated neuromuscular scoliosis GMFCS V patients with a pelvic obliquity of less than 20 degrees. Level of Evidence IV; Case-Control Study.

Briefing: Redefining competency in fire-safe design
Authors: Woodrow Michael , Torero José L.
Published: November 2024

The Grenfell Tower Inquiry (GTI) reports paint a terrifying image of the construction industry as an ensemble, and particularly in all matters pertaining to fire-safe design. A careful look at these reports will help define responsibilities and legal procedures for many years to come. Nevertheless, it is also essential to address the future and how we evolve our practices and professionals in a manner that prevents a tragedy of this nature to happen again. For this purpose, a key message needs to be emphasised: a functional requirements system of regulation will not deliver what society expects unless a rigorous competency framework is created and implemented for all professionals involved in fire safety. The means to create such a framework and put it into practice is at the core of the GTI phase 2 recommendations.

Authors: Kahya Doğancan
Published: November 2024

Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), commonly known as the cotton mealybug, is a polyphagous pest causes significant economic losses worldwide. This study aimed to determine two-sex life table analysis of P. solenopsis on lettuce (Lactuca sativa), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), and rocket (Eruca sativa). Experiments were conducted under controlled conditions at 26°C, 65 ± 10% relative humidity, and a 16:8 light-dark cycle. The results indicated that lettuce was more suitable for P. solenopsis development compared to parsley and rocket. Total fecundity of P. solenopsis was recorded as 221.45, 158.00, and 121.64, on lettuce, parsley, and rocket respectively. In addition, oviposition period of P. solenopsis was 14.00, 9.73, and 8.45 days on lettuce, parsley, and rocket respectively. The highest values of net reproductive rate (R0), intrinsic rate of increase (r), and finite rate of increase (λ) were obtained as 97.44 offspring female-1, 0.14 day-1, 1.16 day-1, respectively from lettuce in this present research. The results showed that lettuce was the better host plant for P. soleneopsis than parsley and rocket. However, further studies should be done about host plant pest interactions to provide successful control measures against P. solenopsis.
College Sport Communicator Leaders’ Perceptions of Sport Information Operations
Authors: Elliott Kelly , Bunch Natalie , Williams Tyler
Published: November 2024

Recent research indicates College Athletic Communicators (CACs) could benefit from more staff in the communication department (Elliott et al., 2023). However the request may not be supported by administration as additional staffing may not fit in the budget. Therefore, it appears imperative to evaluate no-cost options to alleviate the feelings of being under-appreciated and overworked. The College Sport Communicators (CSC)  professional association may be a strong advocate for the profession and may have the ability to provide needed resources for those serving in CAC positions. Therefore, the research presented in this study aims to explore the perspective and experiences of CSC leaders to evaluate how to better serve the CAC profession with an understanding of limited resources. In this study, semi-structed interviews with CSC leaders were conducted. Data provided by the participants indicate ways for CACs to avoid burn out and how athletic administrators can work to support the profession.

Published: November 2024

Research regarding the benefits and detriments of the U.S. collegiate sport governance structure are mixed. Guided by Richardson’s Resiliency Theory (2002), former athletes (n = 215) revealed specific themes of adversity experienced during college with the most prevalent including injury, time demands, and coach-athlete tension. Through interview, athletes noted adversity promoted their resiliency, facilitated grit/perseverance, enhanced teamwork and time management skills, and led to other forms of growth. This study extends our understanding of the long-term impacts of competitive sport participation in this context. This understanding is important for administrators seeking to maximize participant experiences and emulate, enhance, or reform the U.S. College Sport governance model.
Problems Encountered in Humanitarian Aid Logistics and Solution Suggestions by Integrated QFD Method: The Case of Hatay
Authors: Ayvazoğlu Gülşah , Peker İskender
Published: November 2024

In recent years, extraordinary situations and humanitarian crises have increased the number of studies in the field of humanitarian aid logistics. Although various solutions have been tried to be produced for the problems experienced in humanitarian aid logistics in disasters occurring worldwide and, in our country, these solutions have generally not been suitable for regional needs. The aim of this study is to identify the problems encountered in humanitarian aid activities carried out in Hatay province and to develop solutions to these problems. Humanitarian logistics is a complex process involving many actors. This complexity requires a combination of both requirements and decision criteria to be evaluated. In this study, a model that can provide flexible yet effective solutions to the problems encountered in the humanitarian logistics planning process is proposed. This model involves combining qualitative and quantitative data using the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method. In this study, a model that integrates Delphi and Analytical Network Process (ANP) methods with Quality Function Deployment (QFD) technique has been developed to identify the problems encountered in humanitarian aid logistics in Hatay province and to develop solutions to these problems. In line with the developed model, the study generally consisted of three stages. In the first stage, the Delphi method was used to identify the problems in humanitarian aid logistics by taking into account the relevant literature and the opinions of the representatives of the institutions/organizations providing humanitarian aid services in Hatay. Then, the priority values (weights) of these problems were determined by Analytic Network Process (ANP) method. In the last stage, solution proposals were developed through the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) relationship matrices. In humanitarian aid logistics, 14 problems were identified by Delphi technique. With the prioritisation of the results obtained with ANP, ‘Problems Arising from Lack of Continuity-Sustainability’ emerged as the most important problem. Then, among the 13 solution suggestions determined by expert opinions, ‘Establishing a system to monitor humanitarian aid’ was determined as the most effective solution suggestion in eliminating the problems in humanitarian aid logistics. In the future, it would be useful to conduct similar research with the participation of more experts in different regions or countries. In addition, the findings of the study can be compared with different multi-criteria decision-making methods to provide a broader perspective. In this context, the use of integrated methodologies in the field of humanitarian aid logistics will allow for a more comprehensive approach to the problems.

Background. Modern advances in the extraction of hydrocarbons from shale and tight formations, namely improved horizontal drilling technologies and multi-stage hydraulic fracturing at economically viable costs, are opening up new horizons for oil and gas exploration and development around the world. The importance of shale oil and gas has sparked interest around the world following the great success of production in North America. This article is a continuation of a series of publications on the study of Visean unconventional reservoirs within Dnipro-Donets Depression. In this paper, the Visean sediments, namely the Lower Visean carbonate plate of the XIII MFH (horizons V-24-25), and the "Rudov Beds", siliceous calcified organic-rich shales (V-23) within the identified prospective zones of the Dnipro-Donets Basin (DDB), are considered for their unconventional reservoir development potential using the method of analogy with successful North American formations. Methods. Key geological and geochemical parameters were compared with the selected analogues, namely, geological age, sedimentation conditions, lithology and sediment thickness, geochemical data (total organic carbon (TOC), vitrinite reflectance (Ro), rock generation properties according to pyrolytic studies and rock maturity), mineralogical composition and porosity. Results. According to this study, the Visean unconventional deposits within DDB clearly correlate with the most productive gas fields from unconventional reservoirs (shales, organic-rich carbonates) in North America. The depth and geological position of the Visean unconventional targets are generally comparable to or slightly higher than their North American counterparts based on available data; sediment thicknesses are in similar ranges. In terms of mineralogical composition, namely X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, the ore beds are similar to the Barnett and Woodford shales, and the V-24-25 carbonate horizons correspond to the Eagle Ford Formation. The high average TOC content of the V-23 horizon (up to 10% by weight) is comparable to the Bakken and Woodford shales. Сonclusions. The geological and geochemical parameters of the Visean horizons considered in this paper are promising in terms of the prospects for the development of unconventional reservoirs to increase Ukraine's energy resource base. However, in order to draw conclusions about the economic profitability of the development of the studied objects, a more detailed study is required, taking into account the results of drilling and testing after multistage hydraulic fracturing.

The purpose of the scientific research is to reflect on the example of the Carpathian region of Ukraine the resources of flower tourism, to study the geography of their distribution, as well as the current state and prospects for the development of this type of tourism within the region. Methodology. In the study, the method of scientific systematization of information is used to identify places of flower tourism in the Carpathian region of Ukraine; the method of field research to identify the specifics of the activities of farms engaged in the cultivation of flowering plants; the location of resources within the region is displayed using the cartographic method. Results. The concept of "flower tourism" is specified, in particular, attention is focused on its belonging to niche types of tourism. The types of resources of flower tourism of the Carpathian region of Ukraine are summarized and their classification by the method of growth and purpose of use is proposed. The list of places for flower tourism in the region is grouped using such parameters as: type of location, presence of a flowering plant, flowering period, etc. It was found out that Zakarpattia region is the leader in the number of flower locations. The region has a wide range of flowering plants - sakura, lavender, crocuses, daffodils, magnolias, tulip trees, and almonds. The map of the geography of flower tourism resources allows to draw conclusions about their location within the region, as well as proximity or distance from the main tourist centers. On the example of the Lviv tour operator "Vidviday", selected tourist products involving places of flower tourism were analyzed. It was revealed that an essential feature of all flower tours is the additional inclusion of other tourist objects in the program of stay. The problems of development are summarized, and conclusions are made regarding the prospects for the development of flower tourism in the region. The scientific novelty of the results is analysis of the resource potential of flower tourism in the Carpathian region of Ukraine, study of created tourist products with the involvement of these resources, as well as justification of the possibilities of their further use in tourism. The practical importance. The obtained research results will be used in the process of forming tourist products in the territory of the Carpathian region of Ukraine, as well as in the educational process of training future specialists in the specialty "Tourism and Recreation". In addition, the findings can be useful for state authorities for the formation of strategies, as well as the implementation of state or regional tourism development programs.
