Rare plant species are more sensitive to anthropogenic disturbances, their effects causing a decrease in populations and the fragmentation of their habitats. Their unclear population structure often impedes conservation planning. The purpose of the study is to update the distribution and population size, identify habitat preferences, investigate limiting factors, and assess the current conservation status of three threatened taxa – Colchicum soboliferum, Marsilea quadrifolia, and Trapa natans var. natans from the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve (DDBR). The study took place between 2019-2023. The study results showed that the taxa are rare in DDBR, and they have affinities to specific plant communities. C. soboliferum occurs frequently in Artemisio santonici-Juncetum maritimi and Agrostio maeoticae-Scirpoidetum holoschoeni subass. aperetosum maritimae, M. quadrifolia is mainly found in Typhetum angustifoliae and Artemisio santonici-Juncetum maritimi, while Trapa natans var. natans, is found in Trapo-Nymphoidetum association. The threats to the three species are overgrazing and soil compaction for C. soboliferum; water pollution, invasion of Elodea nuttallii and habitat change due to trampling for M. quadrifolia; wetland drainage, boating and silting for Trapa natans var. natans. Therefore, for all three species, changing the conservation status to endangered, protecting and restoring the actual habitats, and transplanting individuals to safer areas with similar habitats are part of the conservation plan within the DDBR area.

The Role of α-Tocopherol in Mitigating the Effect of Elevated CO2 Concentrations Emitted from the AL-Hunay Power Plant Main Station on Glycine max L Plants
Authors:   Department of Physics and Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Shaqra University, P.O. Box 33, Shaqra, 11961, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Almuwayhi Mohammed Abdulrahman
Published: November 2024

Soybean (Glycine max L.), belonging to Leguminosae, is an essential food in Asian countries. It has become a necessity to study the long-term effects of elevated concentrations of CO2 on plant growth and development. Climate change may be affected by the increment of CO2 and higher temperatures on crops. Elevated concentrations of atmospheric CO2 can negatively affect the yield as well as the quality of the field crops. Alpha-tocopherol is the major vitamin E compound found in leaf chloroplasts. This antioxidant deactivates photosynthesis-derived reactive oxygen species and prevents the propagation of lipid peroxidation by scavenging lipid peroxyl radicals in thylakoid membranes. AL-Hunay is an electrical power plant main station located in the Al-Hofuf agricultural area in Saudi Arabia. The role of α-Tocopherol in mitigating the effect of CO2 emitted from the AL-Hunay on the morphological and physiological traits of soybean has been investigated in this study by selecting a site of 100 meters apart from the station. The results revealed a negative effect of elevated concentrations of CO2 on the morphological traits of soybean such as plant height, leaf area, and number of leaves. Furthermore, it also negatively affected the physiological traits such as the contents of P and K, mono- and disaccharides, chlorophyll a and b, and the activity of catalase, and superoxide dismutase. The results showed an obvious role of α-Tocopherol in mitigating the effect of elevated CO2 on soybean plants through regulating the growth, stimulating photosynthesis, protecting the cell membrane and chloroplasts, and tolerating oxidative stress. The current study provides proof for the positive role of α-Tocopherol in mitigating the effect of elevated CO2 emitted by the AL-Hunay power plant main station on the morphological and physiological traits of Glycine max L. plants.

Enhancing patient satisfaction/therapeutic outcomes is still one of the significant aims of healthcare organizations, and more so with the emergence of advanced patient needs. Of the studied strategies, one with the most potential for improving outcomes is the MDC concept of healthcare professionals' functions, which implies the involvement of specialists of different disciplines in comprehensively oriented care. This paper aims to identify the gaps in knowledge on how MDC could enhance patient care by reviewing the literature and analyzing data sources. However, they were often prescriptive in their offerings by focusing on integrated care, shared decision-making, and communication. Also, the research focuses on the potential issues encountered in teamwork and how these issues can be resolved. Using this lens, we hope to offer policy-relevant findings about how MDTs are contributing to enhancing the delivery of health care and client consequences.

While the numbers and distribution of African savannah elephants (Loxodonta africana) have declined in most African range States, they have been steadily increasing in much of southern Africa. In Namibia’s arid north-west, elephants are expanding beyond Protected areas (PA) into multiple types of land use, leading to socio-economic implications, both positive and negative. Our study aimed to quantify cross-land use movements and fence breaches and explore the institutional, legislative and policy implications of fencing, and a new conservation paradigm for the area. We used satellite movements of eight collared elephant herds in multiple types of land use to the south and west of Etosha National Park for one year. Of these herds, seven had home ranges spanning multiple PA/communal/commercial landscapes, often crossing fences with management or disease significance.  The implications of the movements between land uses are assessed in the context of relevant policy regarding management and economics. We conclude that despite challenges to livestock disease control and fencing damage, the expansion of elephant range has resulted in economic benefits to landowners and communal conservancies through tourism and possible consumptive use opportunities, as well as an improvement in general wildlife conservation practices in the area. Regardless of these benefits and the growing interest among rural residents in supporting the establishment of elephant corridors and the removal of fences, Namibia’s legal and policy framework creates numerous implications for landowners and managers when considering fence breaches by elephants. We conclude with recommendations for holistic situational analysis of policy, law and practice and the consideration of amendments to outdated fencing requirements, thereby unlocking the economic and conservation benefits of elephant range expansion in the area.
Impact of severe drought on the age structure of a population of African savannah elephants
Authors: Dunham Kevin M
Published: November 2024

Hundreds of elephants died during a severe drought in Gonarezhou National Park (Gonarezhou) in south-east Zimbabwe during 1992. The following year, entire female herds comprising 670 female and juvenile elephants were captured and translocated elsewhere. Sex-specific von Bertalanffy growth functions for shoulder height against age for elephants culled in Gonarezhou a decade earlier allowed each of 667 elephants captured during 1993 to be aged based on shoulder height. The captured elephants provided a representative sample of the age and sex structure of the population one year after the drought. Immediately after the drought, the age structure was determined by deducting one year from each elephant’s age at capture and compared with that of elephant herds culled in Gonarezhou during 1972-1987. Adult females formed a high proportion (45%) of the individuals in female herds immediately after the 1992 drought, implying that there was high mortality of non-adults during the drought. There were relatively few surviving individuals in the 0-4-year age class, suggesting that mortality was greatest amongst the youngest individuals. When non-adults of all ages were considered, there were fewer males than females amongst the drought survivors, suggesting that the males experienced greater mortality than females. Significant mortality of weaned elephant calves during droughts is uncommon; and the high mortality of non-adults in Gonarezhou  during 1992 highlights the particular severity of the drought.

Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a considerably rare primary malignant liver neoplasm of embryonic origin, and the most prevalent hepatic carcinoma among children, primarily affecting individuals under five years old. Objective: to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of imaging findings in hepatoblastoma described in the scientific literature between 2019 and 2024. Method: A literature review was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and SciELO databases over the past 5 years. Results and Discussion: Nine studies were found, predominantly on computed tomography and abdominal ultrasound. The morphological patterns presented in the imaging aspects by USG, CT, and MRI differ between the methods, highlighting the complexity of hepatoblastoma and the variability of presentation in imaging examinations. However, all studies demonstrated the importance of imaging methods in staging and defining tumor resectability criteria. Conclusion: There is a scarcity of studies on the imaging findings of Hepatoblastoma, as well as the variety of imaging characteristics in the different evaluated methods. The importance of using imaging methods for the adequate staging of hepatoblastoma and consequent definition of therapeutic conduct is also highlighted.

Authors: Hernandes Ligia Maria Moraes , Reis Rafael Pons
Published: November 2024

A ausência da certidão de nascimento no Brasil configura um grave problema social, com impactos profundos na vida de milhões de brasileiros. Este estudo investiga as consequências da falta desse documento fundamental para o exercício da cidadania, analisando as dificuldades enfrentadas por essas pessoas no acesso a serviços básicos, direitos sociais e oportunidades.

A pesquisa revela que a falta de registro civil impede o acesso a serviços essenciais como saúde, educação e assistência social, além de dificultar a obtenção de documentos como RG e CPF. Isso resulta em exclusão social, vulnerabilidade e limitação de oportunidades no mercado de trabalho.

Para isso, foram analisados o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, documentos, informações oficiais e as pesquisas da antropóloga Fernanda de Melo Escóssia sobre a certidão de nascimento. Além disso, o estudo apresenta as políticas públicas implementadas para combater o problema, como o Cadastro Único e o Programa Bolsa Família.

Conclui-se que a garantia do registro civil é fundamental para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa e igualitária. Para alcançar esse objetivo, é necessário fortalecer as políticas públicas, investir em tecnologia, promover parcerias entre diferentes setores e intensificar as campanhas de conscientização sobre a importância do registro civil.

Published: November 2024

O presente estudo investiga o impacto da rotatividade de pessoal no agronegócio da região do Alto Paranaíba, com um enfoque específico nas percepções das lideranças de cooperativas. A rotatividade de pessoal é um fenômeno que afeta diretamente a estabilidade e o desenvolvimento das cooperativas, especialmente em um setor tão competitivo e dinâmico como o agronegócio, onde a retenção de talentos é crucial para a continuidade e qualidade das operações. A pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar os principais desafios enfrentados pelas cooperativas para reter seus colaboradores, analisando os fatores que influenciam a decisão dos funcionários de permanecerem ou deixarem o trabalho. A metodologia do estudo consistiu em uma abordagem qualitativa, com análise de conteúdo, utilizando um questionário aberto e estruturado aplicado a lideranças de cooperativas da região. As respostas obtidas foram analisadas para identificar padrões e categorias temáticas relacionadas aos desafios da retenção de pessoal e à percepção das lideranças sobre a competitividade dos benefícios e condições oferecidas pelas cooperativas. Os resultados apontaram que os principais desafios para a retenção estão relacionados à falta de atratividade nos pacotes de benefícios, à competição com o mercado informal e às limitações decorrentes da localização geográfica, que muitas vezes impõe custos elevados aos trabalhadores. A escassez de mão de obra qualificada e a mudança nas expectativas dos colaboradores, especialmente das novas gerações, também foram destacados como obstáculos significativos. Na discussão, comparou-se esses achados com a literatura, que aponta a importância de uma gestão de pessoas adaptada ao contexto regional e que valorize a qualificação, o engajamento e a flexibilidade nas práticas de trabalho. A pesquisa conclui que, para reduzir a rotatividade e promover a retenção de talentos, as cooperativas devem buscar aprimorar suas políticas de benefícios, investir em qualificação e adaptar suas estratégias de retenção às expectativas dos colaboradores contemporâneos. A retenção sustentável de colaboradores passa, assim, por uma abordagem de gestão que considere tanto as necessidades regionais quanto os novos perfis profissionais.

Introduction: Nursing auditing is a formal system and process that evaluates activities performed by professionals not directly involved, with the aim of meeting specific standards. Objective: The study addresses nursing auditing from a scientific perspective. Methods: An integrative review was carried out, critically evaluating several studies. The central question was: what is the role of the nurse auditor in the hospital context? Data were collected from the BVS, LILACS and SCIELO databases, using the descriptors: Nursing Auditing, Hospital Management and Role of the Nursing Professional. The study covered 16 articles published between 2016 and 2022, focusing on auditing and the role of the nurse. The methodology used was a qualitative review of the literature. Results: The year 2012 presented the highest number of publications, representing 30% of the total, with the BVS database being the richest in publications, with 70%. The analysis revealed that 40% of the studies investigated nursing prescriptions and precautions, with an emphasis on the quality of care. Conclusion: The results indicate a significant advance in nursing auditing, which stands out, even though it maintains an accounting bias, focusing on the management of health institutions.
“In whom confide?” Exploring the Christian-Catholic perspective
Authors: Sosero Valentina
Published: November 2024

The religious dimension can represent an important aspect in a person’s life. How can Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) contribute to the understanding of this construction? The present work is an exploration of religious constructions in a group of Catholic-Christian believers, as well as in a group of people who do not feel represented by a religious credo. We will make some hypotheses and reflections around the construct of spirituality explored in both the research groups. Finally, we will use the PCP professional construct of “dependency dispersion” to understand to whom the people of both groups turn to, when they are in need.

Introdução: O uso de fibrina rica em plaquetas (PRF), um biomaterial obtido pela centrifugação do sangue contendo altas concentrações de plaquetas e fatores de crescimento, tem sido amplamente adotado em várias áreas da medicina. Objetivo: Analisar e sintetizar as evidências científicas sobre o uso da fibrina rica em plaquetas na reabilitação endodôntica de dentes com formação radicular incompleta. Materiais e Métodos: Este estudo é uma revisão narrativa qualitativa e descritiva da literatura, abrangendo o período de 2010 a 2024. A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed e Medline, utilizando descritores como "Fibrina Rica em Plaquetas", "Traumatismos Dentários", "Endodontia Regenerativa" e "Ápice Dentário". Resultados e Discussão: Os estudos revisados indicam que a fibrina rica em plaquetas pode melhorar significativamente os resultados clínicos e radiográficos na reabilitação endodôntica de dentes com ápices abertos. As propriedades biológicas da PRF, como a liberação de fatores de crescimento e a criação de um ambiente propício para a regeneração tecidual, tornam-na um biomaterial valioso. No entanto, a variabilidade nos resultados radiográficos sugere a necessidade de padronização dos protocolos e mais pesquisas para determinar as condições ideais de uso da PRF. Conclusão: A fibrina rica em plaquetas é uma estratégia promissora para a reabilitação endodôntica de dentes com formação radicular incompleta, mostrando evidências de melhorias na cicatrização e regeneração óssea. No entanto, a variabilidade nos resultados e a necessidade de mais estudos clínicos controlados sugerem cautela em sua aplicação clínica.
Succeeding in an Era of Volatility: Leadership Strategies for an Uncertain Future
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: November 2024

The business landscape has undergone immense changes in recent decades due to factors like globalization, technological disruption, shifting workforce and customer demographics, and economic turbulence, creating a profoundly uncertain and volatile environment that requires constant adaptation for companies to avoid obsolescence. However, by drawing from research on complex adaptive systems and uncertainty management, the article provides strategies for cultivating agile, resilient cultures focused on embracing uncertainty and continuous adaptation to thrive amid unpredictability. Leaders must foster agility through empowering experimentation, risk-taking, and iterative learning from failures to build resilience emphasizing adaptability, interdependence, diversity, communication, and flexibility, while embracing ambiguity recognizes leaders cannot predict the future and respond to new opportunities. Continuous learning and adaptation are also critical using flexible structures, short feedback loops, and scenario planning to identify weaknesses. The article then outlines an adaptive leadership framework to assess an organization's agility, resilience, and change readiness, proposing specific actions to decentralize decision-making, accelerate innovation, strengthen networks, communicate purpose, and conduct regular assessments/reviews, demonstrated through a banking example of innovative digital platforms, startup culture, customer empowerment, and experimentation enabling thriving amid turbulence. By developing cultures focused on continuous transformation over control and adaptability, companies gain strategic flexibility to reconfigure successfully amid unpredictability.
Advocating for Yourself When Others Won't: Strategies for Navigating Difficult Workplace Dynamics
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: November 2024

This article addresses the challenging situation of having a manager who does not properly advocate or sponsor one's career advancement. Drawing on academic literature related to workplace relationships, politics, and self-promotion, the brief explores potential reasons why a superior may not champion a high-performing employee. Four specific self-advocacy strategies are then presented for professionals to take matters into their own hands when facing an unsupportive boss. These include making one's case directly to their manager, building allies and external relationships, undertaking high-profile projects for greater visibility, and meticulously documenting achievements. Real-world examples across industries are provided to demonstrate how these approaches have enabled professionals to overcome unconstructive manager dynamics. The article emphasizes focusing on relationship-building, impactful work, and data-backed self-promotion over time rather than complaining about one's manager. With strategic effort and patience, professionals can still influence career outcomes despite lacking direct manager advocacy through developing their reputation and profile on their own accord.
