Authors: França Isabella Cristina Bezerra da Silva , Ferreira Jade Papin , Stefano Elizandra Aparecida Britta
Published: January 2025

A dermatite herpetiforme é uma doença bolhosa crônica autoimune, considerada uma manifestação cutânea da doença celíaca. Ambas as condições são multifatoriais, envolvendo uma combinação de características genéticas e mecanismos patogênicos. Esses fatores são responsáveis pelas manifestações típicas, tanto cutâneas quanto gastrointestinais. A prevalência da doença celíaca é de 1% na população, e aproximadamente 13% dos pacientes com a doença desenvolvem dermatite herpetiforme. Na dermatite herpetiforme, as lesões cicatrizam após a dieta sem glúten e reaparecem logo após sua reintrodução à dieta completa. diagnóstico da doença celíaca tem aumentado progressivamente nas últimas décadas, enquanto as manifestações clínicas tornam-se cada vez mais diversas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sistemática da literatura científica sobre os principais aspectos da fisiopatologia e do diagnóstico da doença celíaca. Devido à alta frequência de lesões clínicas observadas em pacientes celíacos, esta revisão aborda os aspectos relevantes da epidemiologia, patogênese, apresentações clínicas, tratamento e seguimento da dermatite herpetiforme, contribuindo para melhorar o manejo de ambas as condições. Para isso, a revisão bibliográfica foi conduzida em bases de dados eletrônicas, como PubMed, LILACS, Scielo e UpToDate, abrangendo artigos publicados entre 2019 e 2024 relacionados à doença celíaca, ao glúten e à dermatite herpetiforme. A doença celíaca possui um vasto espectro de apresentações clínicas em crianças e adultos, variando de pacientes sintomáticos a assintomáticos. O glúten provoca uma reação inflamatória no intestino delgado, no qual o sistema imunitário é afetado pelos peptídeos de gliadina, responsáveis pela estimulação da imunidade inata e adaptativa. O diagnóstico é realizado através de uma combinação de testes sorológicos e biópsia da mucosa intestinal, que permite a avaliação morfológica. Atualmente o único tratamento disponível é uma dieta sem glúten permanente, o qual resulta em melhoras nos sintomas clínicos e na recuperação dos danos da mucosa do intestino delgado. Portanto, conclui-se que a Dermatite Herpetiforme é uma doença autoimune da pele e a principal manifestação da pele da Doença Celíaca, e o principal tratamento desta doença é uma mudança dietética para alimentos sem glúten.

A PRÁTICA DA REDUFLAÇÃO NA PERSPECTIVA DA PROTEÇÃO DO CONSUMIDOR
Authors: Araújo Wiliane Maradja Bezerra de , Alves Fabrício Germano
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

The practice of reducing the quantity of product within the usual
packaging, without due warning,It is known as “reduflation” and is
becoming more and more present in the daily lives of Brazilian
consumers. However, it turns out that the consumer relationship in Brazil
is protected by laws, which aim to protect the consumer, a vulnerable link
in this situation, as is the case with the Consumer Code. In this context,
this article sought to analyze, based on the Consumer Protection Code,
Jurisprudence and doctrine linked to consumer relations, whether such a
commercial strategy is legal or illegal. It was concluded since “reduflation”
is a commercial strategy that directly violates the right to information and
good faith, it can be said that it should be understood as an abusive and
illicit practice. Furthermore, considering the STJ’s understanding, the
practice can be equated to misleading advertising by omission, an illicit
practice also explicitly prohibited by art. 37, caput of the CDC.

Keywords: Redufflation. Consumer law. Abusive practices. Right to
information.
CUMPRIMENTO DE SENTENÇA EM LOCAIS DOMINADOS PELO TRÁFICO DE DROGAS
Authors: Mattos Phelipe Magalhães da Costa
Published: January 2025

This textual production deals with the inefficiency of the State in enforcing sentences in areas dominated by drug trafficking due to the high degree of dangerousness. For the most part, for reasons of preserving their physical integrity, court officials decline their duties and, any right recognized in a sentence ends up having no effect in practice, not because there was no recognition from the judiciary, but rather because of the lack of State control and mechanisms that enable civil servants to enter the regions and comply with intimidation mandates. In this sense, it is concluded that Brazilian justice is in fact only present in places where state power still has control, residents and rights holders who are in risk areas end up being unaware of the effects of justice.

Supply Chain Management Analysis of Coffee Beans : A Case Study in Ulu Belu District, Tanggamus Regency
Authors: Azra Wijaya  , Rr Erlina
Published: January 2025

Coffee is an important commodity in Indonesia with high economic value. In Ulu Belu District, coffee distribution through long channels causes high distribution costs, so supply chain management (SCM) is needed to improve efficiency. This study aims to measure the cost efficiency and effectiveness of coffee distribution using qualitative descriptive analysis method. The results showed that coffee marketing efficiency in Channel I amounted to 11.98%, and Channel II amounted to 11.92%, both classified as efficient. Delivery accuracy was also high, with Channel I reaching 98.89%, while Channel II was 85.83%. Channel II is more cost-effective despite Channel I being more effective in delivery. Cost-efficiency is important because coffee is a perishable product, and weather-related delays are rare. Channel I, which involves many members, increases distribution costs, so Channel II is recommended for optimal efficiency. It is suggested that improvements to transportation infrastructure, road access, and storage facilities at trader locations can increase distribution efficiency, maintain coffee quality, and reduce losses.

The Heart of Teaching: Can Empathy-Focused CPD Elevates Tutoring?
Authors: Ang Ching Ting , Dewitt Dorothy
Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore how a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programme focused on empathy-based pedagogy can influence the teaching practices of private tutors, with a particular focus on enhancing social-emotional learning (SEL) and student well-being. Given the critical role private tutors play in the academic and emotional development of students, the research seeks to fill the gap in professional development opportunities that support empathy-driven teaching approaches. The methodology used for this qualitative case study includes semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and reflective journaling to collect data on how private tutors perceive and implement empathy-based strategies. The study was conducted at a private tutoring centre, with a focus on understanding the challenges tutors face when applying empathy-based pedagogy and how these strategies impact student engagement and interactions. The findings suggest that empathy-based CPD has a transformative effect on tutors' teaching practices. It enhances their ability to foster stronger student-teacher relationships, create more supportive learning environments, and improve student engagement. Tutors reported that the programme helped them develop greater emotional awareness and communication skills, which in turn positively influenced their students' academic and social development. However, the research is limited by its focus on a single tutoring centre, which may affect the generalisability of the findings to other contexts. Additionally, the study’s reliance on qualitative data means that further quantitative research could be beneficial to corroborate the results.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence of and associated risk factors for bruises in bovine carcasses in the Jimma Municipal Abattoir, Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2022 to May 2023; 384 randomly selected cattle were examined during ante- and postmortem inspections. Data on potential risk factors, including age, sex, breed, body condition, and causes of bruising, were collected. Visual inspection, palpation, and incision techniques were employed during the postmortem examination to identify and record the prevalence, anatomical location, and severity of bruises. Statistical analysis was performed via SPSS version 16.00, with nominal regression used to determine bruise rates and chi-square tests used to assess the associations between risk factors and bruise occurrence. A 95% confidence interval was applied, and differences were considered statistically significant at p<0.05. The study revealed a 24.48% prevalence of bruising, with stick beating (8.9%) being the most common cause. The anatomical distribution of the bruises varied, with the highest condemnation rates observed in the back and loin (6.25%). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in bruise incidence based on age, sex, and body condition (p<0.05). A high prevalence of bruising has a substantial economic impact on the local meat industry. Factors such as improper handling during transportation significantly contribute to this issue. Recommendations include implementing awareness programs for stakeholders and enhancing animal welfare measures to mitigate economic losses and improve carcass quality.

Lagos State is one of the fastest growing megacity in southwestern Nigeria now experiencing severe flood disasters problems as a result of the city’s location, geographical features and rapid growth in urbanisation. This research aims to establish and analyse the major challenges to efficient flood disaster management in Lagos; these issues include; infrastructural deficits, lack of funds, political interferences, inadequate human resources, poor inter-agency cooperation, and poor stakeholder involvement. An explorative quantitative research approach was used and questionnaires used to gather data from respondents within the community, government authorities, and specialists in the field. The study shows that poor infrastructure is the most widespread problem with additional factors of growing in an unplanned urban area, drainage systems being blocked, and little investment in structures that are disaster resistant. Other challenges that have been witnessed in flood management include inadequate funds, poor coordination, and political interferences. Suggested measures include major capital expenditure on flood proof structures, enhanced agency cooperation, citizen involvement, and green city design. However, for these challenges to be tackled, new sources of financing and political support must be sustained. This research shows that there is a need for a comprehensive and coordinated approach to flood disaster management in Lagos State to increase its capacity for coping with flood disasters, and to decrease the level of susceptibility to such disasters in the state and losses of lives and properties. The study provides useful information that can be adopted by policy makers, planners and disaster managers in urban areas.
