Entrepreneurial Orientation as a Determinant of Oil and Gas Service Firm Performance in Nigeria: The Moderating Role of External Environment
Authors: Arokodare M. A. , Asikhia O. U.
Published: June 2020

Oil and gas service sector is one of the major sectors of the oil and gas industry that contributes to and enhances economic functions across the globe. This industry in Nigeria was plagued with problems of unstable global oil prices, absence of entrepreneurial mindset, poor entrepreneurship ideas and mis-match of entrepreneurial orientation strategies with local and international business environmental conditions. Due to these problems, the oil and gas service firms recorded declining market performance and profitability. This study therefore examined the effect of entrepreneurial orientation components on overall performance. The study adopted cross-sectional survey research design with a target population of 14,038 owners and managers of oil and gas service companies operating in Nigeria. A mixed sampling technique was adopted to select the sample size of 576 using the Cochran (1997) formula. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple and hierarchical regression methods of analyses. Findings revealed that entrepreneurial orientation components (proactiveness, innovativeness, risk taking propensity, autonomy and competitive aggressiveness) had significant effect on market performance (Adj.R2 = .538, F-stat = 92.142, p<0.05). Entrepreneurial orientation components significantly affected profitability (Adj. R2 = .626, F-stat = 76.584, p<0.05); while external environment significantly moderated the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and firm performance (Δ Adj.R2 = .593, ΔF = 25.451; F-stat = 47.215, p<0.05) all at 5% level of significance. Implications of the findings and recommendations were made.

Authors: Mbewe Martha , Mbewe Natalia , Ngoma Catherine M.
Published: June 2020

Direct observation of procedural skills is an evidence-based assessment tool used for assessing competence in the practical procedures that nursing students undertake during clinical placement. Having knowledge about students’ satisfaction with their educational issues is very important as it helps both faculty and students to achieve educational goals. However factors that may influence student satisfaction with this method of assessment are not known in the school of nursing sciences at the University of Zambia. The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing student satisfaction with direct observation of procedural skills in order to get students views on this assessment tool. A cross sectional quantitative survey was used on ninety two (92) conveniently sampled final year undergraduate nursing students. Data were collected using a validated self-reported questionnaire and analysed using IBM SPSS Version 20. Fisher’s exact tests were used to determine association between student satisfaction and the independent variables. A p-value of ≤ .05 was considered statistically significant. Major findings revealed that poor clinical environment 98.9% and faculty non availability 98% influenced student’s satisfaction negatively. Other significant associations where clinical experiences, and feedback, with p ≤ .05. In conclusion, the major factors that influenced student satisfaction included poor clinical environment which was not conducive for assessments as it lacked many essential medical surgical supplies and non-availability of faculty in the clinical area who were needed to provide feedback, guidance and supervision to the students. Improving the clinical environment, ensuring faculty availability in order to provide timely and constructive feedback may help students achieve their learning objectives. Direct observation of procedural skills still remains an appropriate tool to assess student clinical competence. However, further research and development of cheap, less stressful and economic methods of clinical evaluation to blend with this tool is required in the school of nursing sciences.
The Evaluation and Management of the Failed Primary Arthroscopic Bankart Repair
Authors: Waterman Brian R. , Leroux Timothy , Frank Rachel M. , Romeo Anthony A.
Published: June 2020

Primary arthroscopic Bankart repair is a common procedure that is increasing in popularity; however, failure rates can approach up to 6% to 30%. Factors commonly attributed to failure include repeat trauma, poor or incomplete surgical technique, humeral and/or glenoid bone loss, hyperlaxity, or a failure to identify and address rare pathology such as a humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament lesion. A thorough clinical and radiographic assessment may provide insight into the etiology, which can assist the clinician in making treatment recommendations. Surgical management of a failed primary arthroscopic Bankart repair without bone loss can include revision arthroscopic repair or open repair; however, in the setting of bone loss, the anterior-inferior glenoid can be reconstructed using a coracoid transfer, tricortical iliac crest, or structural allograft, whereas posterolateral humeral head bone loss (the Hill-Sachs defect) can be addressed with remplissage, structural allograft, or partial humeral head implant. In addition to the technical demands of revision stabilization surgery, patient and procedure selection to optimize outcomes can be challenging. This review will focus on the etiology, evaluation, and management of patients after a failed primary arthroscopic Bankart repair, including an evidence-based treatment algorithm.

Published: June 2020

Over recent months, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has swept the world as a global pandemic, largely changing the practice of medicine as it was previously known. Physician trainees have not been immune to these changes—uncertainty during this time is undeniable for medical students at all levels of training. Of particular importance is the potential impact of COVID-19 on the upcoming residency application process for rising fourth-year students; a further source of added complexity in light of the newly integrated allopathic and osteopathic match in the 2020 to 2021 cycle. Owing to the impact COVID-19 could have on the residency match, insight regarding inevitable alterations to the application process and how medical students can adapt is in high demand. Furthermore, it is very possible that programs will inquire about how applicants spent their time while not in the hospital because of COVID-19, and applicants should be prepared to provide a meaningful answer. Although competitive at a basal level, the complexity of COVID-19 now presents an unforeseen, superimposed development in the quest to match. In this article, we aim to discuss and provide potential strategies for navigating the impact of COVID-19 on the residency application process for orthopaedic surgery.

Published: June 2020

Objective To investigate the usefulness of goal attainment scaling (GAS) in intensive stroke rehabilitation during the subacute stage.Methods Medical records of subacute post-stroke patients who had undergone intensive rehabilitation under hospitalization, before and after the application of GAS, were collected. GAS was conducted at the initial evaluation of each patient. Specific goals were suggested by physical and occupational therapists and were determined by the responsible physiatrist. A 5-point scale was used for the GAS score after 4 weeks of rehabilitation according to the preset criteria of each goal. To evaluate the influence of GAS in rehabilitation practice, functional improvements were compared between two patient groups before (n=121) and after (n=141) GAS. To assess progress in GAS practice, the standard GAS score was calculated, and the changes were observed over a 3-year period. The standard GAS score converged to 50 points when the goal was achieved. The therapists who used GAS also completed a survey regarding its usefulness.Results There were no statistical differences in the motor and cognitive outcomes of the patient groups before and after applying GAS scoring. Successive yearly changes in the standard GAS scores showed progressive convergence to 50 points, signaling that the patient’s goal-setting abilities improved. According to the survey, most therapists felt that GAS enhanced the quality of therapies (84.6%).Conclusion GAS improved goal-setting for the rehabilitation of subacute post-stroke patients and might have a positive effect on rehabilitation.
Saudi EFL Teachers’ Interpretation toward Creativity
Authors: Aldujayn Norah Nasser , Alsubhi Alaa Mesfer
Published: June 2020

Purpose, Methods, Results

Creativity is an important skill that should be promoted throughout the educational system. However, teachers of English as a foreign language (EFL) in high schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) generally do not appear to use creative approaches for reasons that are not well understood. Understanding EFL teachers’ attitudes about creativity would provide valuable insights into their practices in the classroom and facilitate the planning and evaluation efforts to promote creativity in classrooms. Using a validated survey instrument adapted from Al-Qahtani (2016), the researcher collected attitudes toward creativity among 85 female Saudi EFL teachers. The study found that the participating teachers had positive attitudes toward creativity. However, they lacked certainty about the definition of creativity and were not confident in their application of creative methods. The implications of these findings in light of the research are discussed in greater detail.
Do Saudi Learners of English Recognize the Benefits of Consciousness-raising Tasks and Communicative Tasks?
Authors: Mukhrib Adnan
Published: June 2020

This study examined perceptions of students of the benefits of consciousness-raising tasks (CRT) and communicative tasks (CT) when compared with actual learning outcomes in a Saudi secondary school context. Qualitative data were collected from 60 Saudi speaking learners of English, at various proficiency levels, who had engaged in a sequence of collaborative speaking and writing tasks. The results showed the value of the TBL approach which was not in question but makes a significant contribution regarding the importance of the role of interaction in mixed ability groups. The findings indicate that there was a variation in outcomes particularly in terms of how the students perceived the benefits and contribution of the intervention type to their learning. In addition, there was a further impact from the sociolinguistic context of the interaction, which indicates the role of group dynamics and individual variations of Saudi learners. This implies that fluency and accuracy during sociolinguistic interaction is influenced by a wide range of features than cannot be assessed through traditional fluency measures alone. The findings therefore lend support for a TBL approach to maintain the development of fluency, accuracy, and learning.

Published: June 2020

In this experimental work, the adsorption of partially hydrophilic silica nanoparticles, SiO2 has been investigated to determine the degree of silica nanoparticle aggregation in the porous media. An integrated quantitative and qualitative method was used by flowing silica nanoparticles into Buff Berea cores and glass micromodel. Water wet Buff Berea cores were flooded with 5 pore volumes of 0.05% silica nanoparticles solution followed by 10 pore volumes of brine post flush subjected to 30 and 60°C. The pressure drops increased rapidly at the initial stage of silica nanoparticles injection indicated the adsorption had taken place. Pressure drops reached the maximum value of ~3.1 psi and between 26.6–82.6 psi at 30 and 60°C respectively. Pressure drops gradually declined and stabilized in between ~0.4 and ~0.7 psi after couple of pore volumes of brine post flush, suggesting complete reversible and irreversible adsorption. Micromodel test provide qualitative information where the straining or log-jamming observed in the form of gelled-like suspension when silica nanoparticles in contact with brine. The adsorption is considered reversible when the suspension decreased after post flooded with brine. Silica nanoparticles used in this experimental work shows minimal aggregation that can be beneficial as improved oil recovery agent.

Authors: Dimitrova Diana
Published: June 2020

There is a need for timely medical care to the population for the risk management of Zika nowadays. Although scientists determine the widespread nature of the worldwide outbreak of Zika virus infection, it seems clear that there is a real need for outside help to deal with this disease. The Zika disease affects predominantly negatively the fetus in pregnant women, but cases of severe clinical manifestations are also reported among adults. Irrespective of age, it is known to affect the nervous system in humans. The vector causes epidemiological data to expand its area of expertise. In this light of expression, specialists define and attribute to this disease the type and significance of a worldwide disaster management. This requires an in-depth study and analysis of risk factors and their management as a fundamental approach for their prevention and for the benefit of disaster medicine. Reducing the risk with existing traditional tools and methods is not enough to meet the growing needs of people and territories at risk of Zika infection. New strategy approaches and technologies are being sought, and new risk reduction (RR) options are being interpreted. A framework for an innovative conceptual idea based on nano-biotechnology for risk reduction and prevention for Zika virus infection is presented.
Simplified Methods for Storm Surge Forecast and Hindcast in Semi-Enclosed Basins: A Review
Authors: Pasquali Davide
Published: June 2020

It is widely known that small and semi-enclosed basins could be inclined to storm surge events. This is mainly due to either the meteorological exposition, to the presence of a continental shelf or to their shape. These storm surges can induce coastal flooding and consequent problems in terms of infrastructure stability and damage to touristic activities or, in some cases, threaten human life. Therefore, in order to manage the risk, coastal managers or policymakers need to have forecast or hindcast tools. They must help to take preventive actions that may be done previously to the occurrence of natural phenomena and to carry out simultaneous actions useful during the occurrence of the event. This work aims at answering these necessities presenting a review of two methods for storm surge forecast and hindcast in semi-enclosed basins.
Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering: Introduction and Applications
Authors: Kumar Samir , Kumar Prabhat , Das Anamika , Shakher Pathak Chandra
Published: June 2020

Scattering of light by molecules can be elastic, Rayleigh scattering, or inelastic, Raman scattering. In the elastic scattering, the photon’s energy and the state of the molecule after the scattering events are unchanged. Hence, Rayleigh scattered light does not contain much information on the structure of molecular states. In inelastic scattering, the frequency of monochromatic light changes upon interaction with the vibrational states, or modes, of a molecule. With the advancement in the laser sources, better and compact spectrometers, detectors, and optics Raman spectroscopy have developed as a highly sensitive technique to probe structural details of a complex molecular structure. However, the low scattering cross section (10−31) of Raman scattering has limited the applications of the conventional Raman spectroscopy. With the discovery of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in 1973 by Martin Fleischmann, the interest of the research community in Raman spectroscopy as an analytical method has been revived. This chapter aims to familiarize the readers with the basics of Raman scattering phenomenon and SERS. This chapter will also discuss the latest developments in the SERS and its applications in various fields.

Authors: Farahmand Mahnaz , Danafar Fatemeh
Published: June 2020

Background: In many societies, transgender is a marginal minority that experience deprivation and isolation in cultural discourse, and find many social and psychological problems. Objectives: The present inquiry aims is to study transgender’s interactive- mental experiences. Methods: A qualitative method is used to study the lived experiences of transgender. Twenty five transgender in the cities of Yazd, Mashhad, and Tehran were selected through snowball sampling for an in-depth interview. The transcripts of interviews were analyzed through theoretical coding. Results: The analysis of interviews showed mental distress as the main phenomenon of transgenders. The results indicated that transgender’s life experiences consisted of gender-mental dimensions (duality of gender self-concept, duality of gender presentation and dual gender performance) and gender-interaction dimension (family, friends, school interaction, and lack of social opportunities). Transgender’s strategies in such situations are often removing sex organs, anonymity, and isolation. Other consequences include sexual abuse, drug addiction, and suicide. Conclusions: In the current research, the constructed meanings of these people suggest that transgender is experiencing complex, insecure, and difficult life world. So educating the families, society, and media can play an effective role in reducing and managing their problems.

Published: June 2020

Background: Though India’s position in research is notable, it is poor in medical research, barring four centers of excellence. Where the priority for the Government is providing universal health care and for a postgraduate (PG) is becoming a busy clinician, the research remains a low priority. Getting published is an incentive for researchers, and its experience during the training period will be valuable. Research by practitioners in the field is a need in low-and middle-income (LAMI) countries to find workable solutions to local problems. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to develop a system for sustained support and evaluation of the dissertation and to examine its impact on getting published by PG students. Methods: In this prospective study, all 27 PG students of 2015 Batch were given support throughout their six-semester course. Participants were PG students registered for the course in 2015. This included orientation for guides, research methodology (RM) for students and pre-submission (synopsis) external review in the first semester; mid second-year review in the fourth semester and pre-submission (final dissertation), and selection for award and workshop for paper submission in the fifth semester. Results: Before appearing for the final examination in 2018, all 27 students prepared papers out of their dissertations and submitted them to the journals. From April 2019, 19 papers were published, and eight were in various stages of publication. Conclusions: Given sustained guidance and support from the institution, students perform very well, leading to improved publication status.
Beyond the Brain: The Systemic Pathophysiological Response to Acute Ischemic Stroke
Authors: Balch Maria H.H. , Nimjee Shahid M. , Rink Cameron , Hannawi Yousef
Published: June 2020

Stroke research has traditionally focused on the cerebral processes following ischemic brain injury, where oxygen and glucose deprivation incite prolonged activation of excitatory neurotransmitter receptors, intracellular calcium accumulation, inflammation, reactive oxygen species proliferation, and ultimately neuronal death. A recent growing body of evidence, however, points to far-reaching pathophysiological consequences of acute ischemic stroke. Shortly after stroke onset, peripheral immunodepression in conjunction with hyperstimulation of autonomic and neuroendocrine pathways and motor pathway impairment result in dysfunction of the respiratory, urinary, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and endocrine systems. These end organ abnormalities play a major role in the morbidity and mortality of acute ischemic stroke. Using a pathophysiology-based approach, this current review discusses the pathophysiological mechanisms following ischemic brain insult that result in end organ dysfunction. By characterizing stroke as a systemic disease, future research must consider bidirectional interactions between the brain and peripheral organs to inform treatment paradigms and develop effective, comprehensive therapeutics for acute ischemic stroke.

Published: June 2020

The benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel intracranial occlusions is directly related to the technical success of the procedures in achieving fast and complete reperfusion. While a precise definition of refractoriness is lacking in the literature, it may be considered when there is reperfusion failure, long procedural times, or high number of passes with the MT devices. Detailed knowledge about the causes for refractory MT in AIS is limited; however, it is most likely a multifaceted problem including factors related to the vascular anatomy and the underlying nature of the occlusive lesion amongst other factors. We aim to review the impact of several key unfavorable anatomical factors that may be encountered during endovascular AIS treatment and discuss potential bail-out strategies to these challenging situations.

Published: June 2020

Background and Purpose Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a cause of stroke in cancer. However, clinical characteristics and outcomes in stroke patients with cancer-associated NBTE are not well known.
Methods We included consecutive patients with stroke and active cancer over a 9-year period who underwent echocardiography. We retrospectively compared clinical characteristics and presence of metastasis between patients with NBTE, those with cryptogenic etiologies, and those with determined etiologies. We also investigated mortality and stroke events during the 6-month follow-up.
Results Among the 245 patients, 20 had NBTE, 96 had cryptogenic etiologies, and 129 had determined etiologies. Metastasis was seen in all 20 patients (100%) with NBTE, 69.8% in patients with cryptogenic etiology, and 48.8% in patients with or determined etiology. During the 6-month follow-up, 127 patients (51.8%) developed stroke and/or died (death in 110 [44.9%] and stroke events in 55 [22.4%]). Patients with NBTE showed significantly higher mortality (80%) and stroke occurrence (50%) than those with cryptogenic etiologies (mortality 54.2%, stroke 25.0%, log-rank P=0.006) and determined etiologies (mortality 32.6%, stroke 16.3%, log-rank P<0.001). In a multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis, the presence of NBTE was independently associated with composite outcomes of mortality and stroke events (hazard ratio, 1.941; 95% confidence interval, 1.052 to 3.690).
Conclusions NBTE should be suspected as a potential cause of stroke in patients with metastatic cancer. Patients with NBTE have a high risk of recurrent stroke and mortality. Future studies are necessary to determine strategies to reduce stroke recurrence in patients with NBTE.

Mariano de Osuna, entre la realidad y la leyenda
Authors: Sánchez-González Antonio
Published: June 2020

Resumen: Este trabajo rinde homenaje al noble que más dio de qué hablar en su tiempo, el XII Duque de Osuna Mariano Téllez-Girón y Beaufort-Spontin (1814-1882), sin duda el último vástago de la gran raza de Osuna. Esta casa nobiliaria precisamente alcanzaba su cenit en pleno siglo XIX, convirtiéndose en una de las más poderosas de Europa. Pero el inmenso patrimonio amasado durante generaciones que recibe Mariano sin esperarlo, al ser segundón de la Casa, se consume por completo, al gastar el duque con tanto derroche que ni siquiera pudo pagarse el sepulcro donde yace. De ahí que Mariano Osuna haya pasado a la historia, por encima de todo, como arquetipo de despilfarrador. Sin embargo, también desbordaba humanidad y generosidad a raudales, de lo que recibieron sobradas muestras no solo sus deudos y dependientes sino también su propia patria pues jamás cobró los muchos servicios militares y diplomáticos que prestó a España.Abstract: This work pays homage to the most controversial noblemen of his time, the XII Duke of Osuna Mariano Téllez-Girón and Beaufort-Spontin (1814-1882); undoubtedly the last scion of the great breed of Osuna. This noble house precisely reached its zenith at the height of the 19th century becoming one of the most powerful houses all over Europe. However, the vast wealth gathered over generations that Mariano received unexpectedly, since he was the second son of the house, ran out because of the Duke’s wasteful spending. He could not even afford the payment of his tomb where he lies. That is why Mariano Osuna has passed into history, above all, as the archetype of spendthrift. Anyway, he also overflowed humanity and generosity in abundance, as quite evidenced to his relatives, dependents and homeland. He never wanted to charge the emoluments of the many military and diplomatic services that he provided Spain with.

The experiment group participated in a care promotion program based on self-understanding for 24 hours through eight sessions covering eight different topics. The data were analyzed using t-test and repeated–measures ANOVA using SPSS/WIN 21.0.Results: Compared to the control group, the experiment group reported significant positive changes for college life adjustment (F=28.74, p<.001), emotional intelligence (F=15.66, p<.001), and interpersonal caring behavior (F=9.37, p=.003).Conclusion: Findings from this study indicate that care promotion based on a self-understanding improvement program with the application of group enneagram education is a useful intervention strategy to promote the care promotion program based on nursing students’ self-understanding. Care promotion based on self-understanding will be utilized as an intervention program to form positive values of care and interpersonal relationship through care awareness, self-change, understanding of others and care experience in the group.

Os papéis de vários atores podem influenciar moderado, fraco ou fortemente sobre as divulgações sociais e ambientais corporativas das companhias, dada a estrutura econômica do país, bem como o desenvolvimento do seu mercado financeiro. Por exemplo, os acionistas podem influenciar as divulgações sociais e ambientais corporativas por terem relação direta com a empresa e os credores influenciam as divulgações corporativas relacionadas ao desempenho ambiental das empresas, dentre outros. O objetivo deste artigo é verificar o nível quantitativo de divulgação socioambiental das empresas listadas no mercado de capitais brasileiro que estão engajadas em projetos de sustentabilidade estabelecidos pelas Nações Unidas, os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS). Para o alcance desse objetivo dispõe-se de uma metodologia eminentemente quantitativa quanto a natureza dos dados e descritiva no que concerne ao objetivo proposto. Em termos procedimentais, utiliza-se dos artefatos da análise léxica e de conteúdo para filtrar os dados e determinar a criação do Índice de Divulgação Social e Ambiental (IDSA). Os resultados apontam que, no ano de análise de 2018 poucas empresas listadas no mercado de capitais brasileiro aderiram aos propósitos dos ODS ou pelo menos não explicaram ou relataram informações convergentes com os propósitos da Agenda. No entanto, percebe-se que, as empresas que divulgaram o relatório de sustentabilidade alinhado com os ODS estão mais engajadas com as práticas de sustentabilidade do meio ambiente, não se preocupando, tão somente, com nível econômico empresarial.

A adolescência é uma fase importante no que se diz respeito a pratica de atividade física, que por sua vez está relacionada à proteção de futuras patologias, promoção e manutenção da saúde. A presente pesquisa buscou descrever as características metodológicas dos estudos selecionados e identificar a prevalência de inatividade física de adolescentes escolares. O estudo em questão se trata de uma revisão sistemática, formulada através de manuscritos científicos em formato de artigo. Buscaram-se artigos pertinentes a temática em duas bases de dados eletrônicos: Lilacs e SciELO, usando-se os descritores: comportamento sedentário, exercício e adolescente, combinados com o operador booleano ‘and’. Foram utilizados 13 artigos após critérios de inclusão e exclusão. Os dados gerais de prevalência de inatividade física variaram entre 19,7% a 81,6%. Quando compilados de acordo com o sexo, os estudos revelam elevada prevalência de inatividade em ambos os sexos, atingidos picos de 86% em mulheres e 81,6% em homens. Conclui-se que os adolescentes têm elevada prevalência de inatividade física, fato esse evidenciado em ambos os sexos.

O público jovem passa por transformações de suas competências a todo momento tornando-se importante a análise de possíveis impactos causados pelo crescente uso das telas ao sono e a saúde. O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar se há associação entre o uso excessivo do tempo de tela e distúrbios do sono dos escolares ativos e inativos. Trata-se de um estudo de campo, do tipo ex-post facto, analítico, de corte transversal, onde a amostra do tipo conveniência foi composta por 231 escolares com idade de 14 a 19 anos, de ambos os sexos. Para a mensuração do tempo de tela foi indagado ao adolescente: quanto tempo em horas o mesmo passa em frente a tela do smartphone, Tv e computador em um dia normal de semana. Utilizou-se os questionários IPAQ-Versão curta, para verificar o nível de atividade física e o Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh – (PSQI) para distúrbios do sono. As análises dos dados foram conduzidas através do software JASP na versão 0.9.0.1, através de estatística descritiva por distribuição de frequência. Teste qui-quadrado (x²) foi utilizado para verificar as associações entre as proporções entre o sexo, atividade física e as variáveis categorizadas, adotando um α<0,05. Os resultados apontam que os adolescentes pesquisados não apresentam distúrbios do sono, serem ativos fisicamente, e uso excessivo de smartphone. Apresenta também uma associação entre o sono e atividade física em meninos, (p=0,034), e entre o tempo de tela em frente a computadores e atividade física em meninas (p=0,055). Conclui-se que a atividade física se associação com a qualidade do sono e com o tempo de tela frente a computadores.

Na adolescência o corpo passa por mudanças físicas, psicológicas, biológicas com mudanças sociais resultando em conceitos de si mesmo e de sua composição corporal. A insatisfação e a desvalorização de si na questão físico traz distúrbios para a vida de uma pessoa, por conta da adoção de atitudes que visam a mudança do estado. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar metodologicamente as pesquisas publicadas sobre a avaliação da satisfação corporal de adolescentes escolares. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, cuja metodologia se baseou em investigações anteriores e em recomendações sobre o tema, realizaram-se buscas nas bases Scielo e no Lilacs, utilizando os descritores imagem corporal e adolescentes, combinados a partir do operador booleano ‘OR’, totalizando assim 5 artigos como amostra final da presente pesquisa. Foi possível concluir que houve maiores índices de insatisfação corporal em adolescentes do sexo feminino por estarem acima do peso, o que pode estar relacionado a não realização de atividades físicas e não adoção de hábitos saudáveis, os dados do estudo justificam a importância de tratar e prevenir os distúrbios de imagem corporal, para ajudar a alcançar os padrões alimentares mais saudáveis.
