Protection of Water Resources in Recreational Areas in Urban Space
Authors: Ruman Marek , Dąbrowska Dominika , Rykała Wojciech
Published: February 2025

Access to recreational areas is particularly important in the context of improving the quality of life in cities. One of the valuable elements of such areas may be water reservoirs and their accompanying springs. An example of such a recreational area is the so-called Palowice Lake District (southern Poland), which includes three water reservoirs, ten breeding ponds and two springs from which water is taken. Water from the springs is considered to be of very good quality and is regularly consumed by residents of nearby towns as well as tourists. The quality of these waters is influenced by natural factors such as weathering of rocks, evapotranspiration, atmospheric deposition, climate change, but also by anthropogenic factors such as industrial effluents, domestic activities, tourist traffic and agricultural activities. However, the results of research conducted in the area of the springs indicate the presence of E. coli and enterococci in the water. The latter are characterized by longer survival in water. Consuming such water may lead to the development of numerous digestive system diseases, hence the issue of protecting water resources in urbanized areas, including conducting representative monitoring of the quality of these waters, is extremely important.

Published: February 2025

Entrepreneurial universities play a crucial role in existing economic landscape, stimulating innovation, entrepreneurial initiative and economic development. These institutions extend their traditional mission of teaching and research by integrating an entrepreneurial perspective, promoting the commercialization of research and supporting start- ups. The concept of the entrepreneurial university has evolved significantly, now including actions and initiatives that support innovation and knowledge transfer to industry and communities. Factors such as visionary leadership, institutional culture, support networks and collaborations with business and public authorities are essential for the development of these universities. For regional development, knowledge transfer and commercialization of the academic research’s outcomes, the incubators and support for new firms are also important activities promoted by these universities. While facing challenges such as funding constraints and bureaucratic hurdles, entrepreneurial universities have significant opportunities to innovate and collaborate with industry partners. Their impact on regional development is evident by creating jobs, stimulating innovation and improving the local entrepreneurial ecosystem, thus contributing to economic growth and human capital development.

Objective: to develop a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to classify the presence and severity of central lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) during MRI examination and to demonstrate its effectiveness as an accurate and consistent diagnostic tool.

Methods. Morphological classifications of LSS and quantitative measurements of key anatomical structures were combined using two CNNs. To classify central stenosis, models were trained on 1635 labeled lumbar spine MRI studies consisting of T2-weighted sagittal and axial planes at the level of each vertebra. The accuracy of the model was assessed using an external validation set of 150 MRI studies graded by a panel of 7 radiologists as: no stenosis, mild, moderate or severe spinal canal stenosis. The reference value for all types of stenosis was determined by majority vote, and in the event of disagreement, a decision was made by an external radiologist. The radiologists' interpretations were then compared with those of the trained model.

Results. The model demonstrated comparable performance to the average radiologist both in identifying the presence/absence of LSS and in classifying severity for all 3 types of stenosis. For central canal stenosis, the sensitivity and specificity of the CNN were (0.93; 0.85) for binary classification (presence/absence) compared to the average radiologist (0.86; 0.86). For lateral pocket stenosis, the sensitivity and specificity of CNN were (0.92; 0.80) compared to the radiologist's mean (0.83; 0.94). For foraminal stenosis, the sensitivity and specificity of CNN were (0.89; 0.86) compared to the radiologist's mean (0.81; 0.91). Multiclass classification of stenosis severity showed similar statistics.

Conclusions. CNNs showed comparable performance to radiologists in detecting and classifying LSS. The integration of neural network models in pathology detection could provide higher accuracy, efficiency, systematicity, and the possibility of subsequent interpretation in diagnostic practice.

Published: February 2025

The aim of the study was to study the characteristic CT and MRI features of phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors.

Material and methods. CT and MRI images of 13 patients with phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors were analyzed. The size, localization, shape, contours, structure of the tumor, accumulation of contrast agent, a position relative to the cortical layer, and size of the lymph nodes were assessed.

Results. Eight bone tumors (average size 23 ± 9.6 mm) and 5 soft tissue tumors (36.2 ± 47.5 mm) were detected.

In patients with soft tissue tumors, the oval shape was predominant. The contours of all tumors were smooth, the tumors were adjacent to the cortical bone layer according to CT data in 75% of cases. According to MRI data, in all cases the tumors were adjacent to the cortical bone layer. In half of cases, calcifications were determined in the tumor structure. The structure of the tumor according to CT data was homogeneous, while in half of the cases, septa were visualized on MRI images. Soft tissue tumors intensively enhanced on CT and MRI. In patients with bone tumor, rounded shapes predominated. In one case, a large sacral tumor (measuring about 40 mm) prolapsed into the spinal canal. The tumors were predominantly osteolytic with sclerotic contours and were located subcortically. Osteoid or chondroid matrix in the form of calcifications was determined in the structure. According to CT data, in 3 cases the tumors intensively enhanced, in 3 cases they did not enhance, and in 1 observation there was a weak enhancement. In MRI, all lesions intensively enhanced.

Conclusion. Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor can occur in bones and soft tissues. CT and MRI allow to identify them and determine the boundaries of surgical resection, but should be used as second-line diagnostic methods after radioisotope methods. The use of a new diagnostic feature: the adjacency of bone and soft tissue formations to the cortical layer, and focusing attention by radiologists on this area may reduce the risk of “missing” the tumor.
Shear-Wave Dispersion Slope (SWDS) is a new ultrasound parameter to detect liver inflammation
Authors: Zykin B. I. , Ionova E. A. , Anosova T. A.
Published: February 2025

Background: one of the most pressing problems of ultrasound shear wave elastometry of the liver is the lack of distinct digital differential diagnostic criteria for the presence and severity of fibrosis in inflammation.

Purpose. To evaluate the possibility of a new ultrasonic parameter – the shear wave dispersion slope (SWDS) in solving this problem.

Materials and methods. 156 patients with various liver pathologies were examined. Depending on the absence or presence of fibrosis, as well as inflammatory changes in the liver (according to biopsy and serological blood tests), the examined patients were divided into three groups. The control group consisted of 10 healthy donors. Measurements of the shear wave velocity (SWS), shear wave dispersion slope (SWDS) and the assessment of ultrasound attenuation (ATI) in the liver were performed using the Canon Medical Aplio i800 ultrasound diagnostic system (Tokyo, Japan) using a standard convex transducer.

Results. The indicators of SWS, SWDS and ATI (Median and 95% CI) in the control group were Me 1.2 (95% CI 1.1–1.6) m/s, Me 10.1 (95% CI 9.7–14.3) m/s/kHz and Me 0.54 (95% CI 0.41–0.63) dB/cm/MHz, respectively. The study of the main group showed that there is a close correlation between SWS and SWDS (Spearman's rho = 0.74). At the same time, patients in the subgroup with inflammation had significantly (p < 0.01) higher SWDS values compared with the control group and the subgroup without inflammation – Me 16.4 (95% CI 15.3–17.9) m/s/kHz versus Me 10.1 (95% CI 9.7–14.3) m/s/kHz and Me 12.7 (95%CI 12.1–14.3) m/s/kHz. In patients of the subgroup with fibrosis, but without inflammation, there was also a significant (p < 0.01) increase in SWDS from Me 12,0 (95% CI 11.4–12.8) m/s/kHz at F0-1 to Me 16,5 (95% CI 12.9–20.3) m/s/kHz at F3–4 METAVIR.

Conclusion. The use of absolute SWDS values did not contribute to the achievement of the purpose of this study – the detection of criteria for the differential diagnosis of the presence and severity of liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis. Nevertheless, the results of the study provide grounds for making a fairly confident conclusion that the assessment of the relationship between SWDS and SWS using the binary logistic regression formula (logit(p) = 0, 4152 SWDS (м/с/кГц) – 0,1344 SWS (м/с) – 6,5115) can become a valuable additional method for ultrasound diagnostics of inflammatory changes in the liver.

Integralidade negada, cuidado negligenciado: o estigma da doença mental no Programa Farmácia Popular do Brasil
Authors: Weber César Augusto Trinta , Da Silva Antônio Geraldo
Published: February 2025

Este artigo discute a ausência de psicofármacos no Programa Farmácia Popular do Brasil (PFPB), uma iniciativa para o acesso a medicamentos essenciais. Apesar de sua longa trajetória e impacto significativo, o programa ainda não inclui medicamentos psiquiátricos em sua lista, refletindo um estigma estrutural em relação às doenças mentais nas políticas públicas brasileiras. O texto analisa as consequências dessa exclusão para pacientes psiquiátricos, que enfrentam não apenas marginalização social, mas também barreiras ao acesso a tratamentos adequados. A indisponibilidade de psicotrópicos essenciais compromete a estabilidade clínica desses pacientes, aumentando hospitalizações, reduzindo a expectativa de vida e contribuindo para desfechos fatais evitáveis. Além disso, a expansão do elenco de medicamentos do PFPB em 2025, com a inclusão de 41 novos itens, evidencia a contínua exclusão da saúde mental. O artigo reforça, assim, a necessidade urgente de políticas mais inclusivas, reconhecendo os psicofármacos como parte essencial do cuidado integral em psiquiatria.

Psychological effects of precocious puberty on young girls and their mothers
Authors: Algedik Pinar , Kirmizibekmez Heves , Dursun Fatma
Published: February 2025

Objectives

Puberty is a period during which children undergo significant biological, physical, and emotional changes. Parents are often concerned about early sexual maturation. This study aimed to investigate the psychological impact of early pubertal onset on girls and their mothers.

Material and Methods

A pediatric psychiatrist evaluated female patients with early breast enlargement and their mothers. Children and adolescents were assessed using a Behavior Assessment Scale and a Depression Scale, while their mothers were assessed using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, and the Positive and Negative Emotion Scale.

Results

Twenty-one female subjects, 14 with early breast development and seven controls with no signs of puberty, were evaluated. The mean age at the onset of puberty signs was 7.25 ± 0.42 years. Somatic complaints, social problems, and slow cognitive tempo scores were significantly higher in patients with central precocious puberty (CPP) in comparison to both the premature thelarche (PT) patients and the control group. Maternal anxiety scores were higher in both the CPP and PT groups compared to the controls.

Conclusion

Higher anxiety scores in the mothers of girls with both CPP and PT indicate that the physical changes have an impact on maternal anxiety. Higher scores in girls with true CPP than those with still prepubertal hormone levels indicated that the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and associated biological alterations may influence the psychological, cognitive, and behavioral status of the child.
Femoral to sciatic nerve transfer: A cadaver study
Authors: Trudrung Melissa , Mickelson Ethan , Attaluri Pradeep , George Robert Edward , Gander Brian , Hanna Amgad
Published: February 2025

Background

Proximal sciatic nerve injuries are a challenge to treat due to the limited options for donor nerves and the long distance needed for regeneration.

Methods

In our cadaveric study using five human cadavers, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of transferring the tibial and common peroneal components of the sciatic nerve to the femoral nerve motor branches of the vastus medialis (VM) and vastus lateralis without the need for interposition nerve graft. The femoral nerve branches of the VM and lateralis were exposed anteriorly. The sciatic nerve was exposed posteriorly and passed through a narrow window within the adductor magnus and medial to the femur. The sciatic nerve was then separated into its tibial and peroneal components, which were then coapted to the VM and lateralis motor branches of the femoral nerve.

Results

Using the entire tibial and peroneal components of the sciatic nerve, we were able to gain more length and directly coapt the femoral nerve branches without utilizing interposition grafts. The disadvantage of this technique is suturing to a mixed nerve with motor and sensory components, which could compromise functional outcomes. Further studies are needed to determine how the procedure will impact a patient’s gait cycle.

Conclusion

Clinical application is needed to determine preliminary outcomes before widespread utilization of this technique.
L’angady (Madagascar), un outil agricole et une dimension culturelle. Réflexions sur l’adoption d’innovations de type Agriculture de Conservation en petit paysannat malgache
Authors: Feller Christian , Ranaivoson Dominique , Penot Éric
Published: February 2025

Description du sujet. L'angady (bêche malgache) et son utilisation agricole (labour) sont encore très présentes aujourd'hui dans le petit paysannat à Madagascar. Objectifs. Cet article vise (i) à préciser l’importance et la place de cet outil dans l’équipement agricole du petit paysannat, (ii) à faire ressortir les dimensions culturelles qui lui sont attachées et (iii) à poser quelques réflexions sur l’attitude du paysan malgache vis-à-vis des pratiques de non-labour telles que celles préconisées dans l’« agriculture de conservation ». Méthode. Pour les objectifs (i) et (ii), il s’agit de simples études bibliographiques. Pour l’objectif (iii), la réflexion s’appuie sur les résultats d’un projet de développement basé sur l’agriculture de conservation ainsi que sur une évaluation post-projet. Résultats. Il est montré que l'angady est toujours très présente et dominante dans l’équipement du paysan malgache mais au-delà du simple outil agricole, l’angady est aussi un objet culturel associé au labour et qui fait partie symboliquement de l'identité du paysan malgache. Un vaste projet de développement agricole autour de l’« agriculture de conservation » – dont l’un des principes est l’abandon total ou partiel du labour – a été mené à Madagascar pendant plus de 10 ans mais avec un niveau d’appropriation par le petit paysannat malgache relativement faible et une diffusion très limitée. Conclusions. Les résultats publiés ainsi que l’évaluation qui en a été faite post-projet conduisent les auteurs de cet article à émettre l’hypothèse (qui reste à tester), qu’au-delà des conclusions principales des évaluateurs, la dimension culturelle de l’angady pourrait être prise, au moins partiellement, en considération pour expliquer ce faible niveau d’appropriation des pratiques alternatives proposées par la recherche.

В данном исследовании рассматривается организация комплексной системы по обращению с отходами строительства и сноса, сложившаяся на сегодняшний день в Московской области. Рекордные объемы строительства жилья, объектов инфраструктуры, сноса ветхого жилого фонда в рамках программы реновации в данном регионе привели к образованию огромного количества отходов строительства, сноса и грунта. Отсутствие цивилизованного обращения с данными отходами и эффективных технологий по их переработке приводит к переполнению действующих полигонов, росту количества несанкционированных свалок, наносит значительный ущерб экологии региона. Предложены меры по обеспечению эффективного и качественного развития системы обращения с отходами в данном регионе. На базе бывших региональных полигонов ТКО предложено создание специализированных комплексов по переработке отходов строительства, сноса и грунта, в том числе и смешанных, логистически удобных для отходопроизводителей, обладающих набором передовых технологий и современным оборудованием по переработки различных строительных отходов, которые в дальнейшем должны стать центрами цивилизованного рециклинга и составной частью создаваемой инфраструктуры системы обращения с отходами строительства, сноса и грунта.

This study examines the organization of a comprehensive system for handling construction and demolition waste that has developed to date in the Moscow Region. Record volumes of housing construction, infrastructure facilities, and demolition of dilapidated housing stock as part of the renovation program in this region have resulted in the formation of a huge amount of construction waste, demolition waste, and soil. The lack of civilized handling of this waste and effective technologies for its processing leads to the overflow of existing landfills, an increase in the number of unauthorized dumps, and causes significant damage to the ecology of the region. Measures are proposed to ensure the effective and high-quality development of the waste management system in this region. On the basis of former regional solid municipal waste landfills, it is proposed to create specialized complexes for processing construction waste, demolition waste and soil, including mixed waste, logistically convenient for waste producers, possessing a set of advanced technologies and modern equipment for processing various construction waste, which in the future should become centers of civilized recycling and an integral part of the created infrastructure of the system for handling construction, demolition and soil waste.
Enhancing Triplet Harvesting in Inverted Singlet-Triplet Gap Molecules through Mechanistic Understanding
Authors: de Thieulloy Laure , de Sousa Leonardo Evaristo , de Silva Piotr
Published: February 2025

Molecules with an inverted singlet-triplet gap violate Hund’s rule and offer promising applications in optoelectronics and photocatalysis. However, understanding the mechanistic factors governing electronic transitions is crucial for optimizing their performance. In this work, we employ the nuclear ensemble method combined with high-level electronic structure calculations to investigate the role of vibrational effects in four azaphenalene-based molecules. Our results reveal that maximizing the thermodynamic driving force for reverse intersystem crossing is not necessarily a desired strategy for efficient triplet harvesting. Nevertheless, due to the vibronic coupling, molecular cores with small negative gaps are a promising starting point as appropriate functionalization can decrease delayed fluorescence lifetimes despite the gap moving toward positive values. These findings provide new design principles for developing efficient triplet-harvesting materials, emphasizing the need to control vibrational and symmetry effects to balance radiative and non-radiative transitions effectively.
Open Repair of a Young Hip Abductor Tendon Tears: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Feng Yao , Niu Jing , Cui Yujie , Jiang Jun , Lu Jike
Published: February 2025

Greater trochanteric (GT) pain syndrome is a common debilitating hip
condition featured by chronic lateral hip pain. This condition includes
trochanteric bursitis, hip abductor pathology involving the gluteus
medius and minimus, external coxa saltans (snapping hip syndrome), or
combinations of those. Hip abductor tendon tears have been recognized
as a main pain generator of the hip joints. This pathology is often
misdiagnosed and left untreated because of the frequency of partialthickness undersurface tears. Once definite diagnosis is confirmed, nonoperative treatments are considered as the first therapeutic approach.
Despite the availability and effectiveness of multiple non-operative
therapies, a considerable percentage of patients will present with chronic
disabling pain and refractory symptoms. Generally, most of general
medical practitioners are unaware of accessible surgical approaches that
benefit patients who are unresponsive to non-surgical managements.
We report a case of 39-year-old female patient with chronic lateral hip
pain refractory to conservative treatment for more than a year, then treated
successfully with open abductor tendon repair. The patient returned to
the desired activities six months following surgery without any reported
complications. Follow up at a year and 2.5 years postoperatively, she has a
pain free hip and normal functions of affected hip joint.
In short, we reported an open surgical repair of the hip abductor tendons
in the setting of a chronic full-thickness abductor tendon tear in a female
patient after failure of nonsurgical managements. Preoperative accurate
diagnosis is the key for successful reparation of the torn abductors.
Axonal transport of CHMP2b is regulated by kinesin-binding protein and disrupted by CHMP2bintron5
Authors: Kirwan Konner R , Puerta-Alvarado Veria , Waites Clarissa L
Published: February 2025

CHMP2b is a core component of the ESCRT pathway that catalyzes formation of multivesicular bodies for endolysosomal protein degradation. Although mutation/loss-of-function of CHMP2b promotes presynaptic dysfunction and degeneration, indicating its critical role in presynaptic protein homeostasis, the mechanisms responsible for CHMP2b localization and recruitment to synapses remain unclear. Here, we characterize CHMP2b axonal trafficking and show that its transport and recruitment to presynaptic boutons, as well as its cotransport with other ESCRT proteins, are regulated by neuronal activity. In contrast, the frontotemporal dementia–causative CHMP2bintron5mutation exhibits little processive movement or presynaptic localization in the presence or absence of neuronal activity. Instead, CHMP2bintron5transport vesicles exhibit oscillatory behavior reminiscent of a tug-of-war between kinesin and dynein motor proteins. We show that this phenotype is caused by deficient binding of CHMP2bintron5to kinesin-binding protein, which we identify as a key regulator of CHMP2b transport. These findings shed light on the mechanisms of CHMP2b axonal trafficking and synaptic localization, and their disruption by CHMP2bintron5.

Authors: Oliveira Magna Ioná Carvalho , Guimarães Thiago Santos , Santana Kelly de Santana , Massena Elisa Prestes
Published: February 2025

Este estudo objetivou investigar as percepções de professoras supervisoras sobre o Estágio Supervisionado em Química (ESQ) e o papel que elas desempenham nesse processo de formação. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram quatro professoras de Química que atuam em escolas públicas em parceria com uma universidade pública da Bahia. O instrumento utilizado para obtenção das informações foi a entrevista, avaliada por meio da Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD). Emergiram duas categorias, a saber: 1) O conhecimento do professor da Educação Básica e sua contribuição na formação do futuro professor de Química e 2) A visão das professoras da Educação Básica acerca do ESQ para a formação do futuro professor. Com os resultados alcançados, podemos constatar que, na visão das professoras, o ESQ é um espaço fundamental para o desenvolvimento e adaptação do futuro professor de química, uma vez que oportuniza o contato com a realidade escolar e faz com que o licenciando, a partir da experiência, da troca de saberes e do contato, consiga lidar com situações adversas que podem surgir no ambiente escolar.
BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS AND LEARNING DISABILITY OF CHILDREN
Authors: Pandey Gargi , Ansari Shaista , Fatima Zainab
Published: February 2025

Parents often become concerned when their child has learning problems in school. There are many causes of academic problems, one of them being specific learning disabilities (SLD). Children with learning disabilities may have intelligence in the normal range, but specific learning disabilities may make teachers and parents concerned about their general intelligence. Often, these children may try very hard to follow instructions, concentrate, and “be good” at home and school. It has been found that 15% - 30% of LD children have emotional and behavioral difficulties. The study aims to identify children with learning disabilities in schools and compare their behavioral problems with normal children. For the study, 327 children (215 boys, and 112 girls) were randomly selected from two regular schools in Raipur Chhattisgarh, India. The age range of the school children is 6 to 14 years. Three instruments, the Rhode Island Student Identification Scale, the Learning Disability Checklist, and the Children's Behavior Rating Questionnaire for completion by teachers were used. The results showed that 19% of students in the schools were suffering from learning disabilities. Children with learning disabilities exhibit significant behavioral problems in the form of hyperactivity and aggression compared to children without learning disabilities. Gender differences were found in hyperactivity and aggression in children with learning disabilities.
A familiness ereje polikrízis idején
Authors: Németh Krisztina , Németh Szilárd
Published: February 2025

Elméleti és empirikus felmérést tartalmazó tanulmányunk középponti fogalma a „polikrízis”, amely kifejezi az éghajlatváltozás, a covid-19 világjárvány és az Oroszország-Ukrajna között zajló háború generálta válságjelenség jellemzőit. Szerzőként vállalkozunk annak ismertetésére, hogy a polikrízis koncepció értékes eszköz a kibontakozó válságok megértéséhez, kutatásához. Tanulmányunkban egy három éves periódusra, 10 hazai családi vállalkozásra kiterjedő, interjús adatfelvételre épülő longitudinális családi vállalkozás kutatás alapján vizsgáljuk a polikrízis (COVID-19, pandémia nyomán kialakult gazdasági krízis, oroszukrán háború, energiaválság, inflációs krízis) közepette érzékelt vezetői kihívásokat, illetve az arra adott szervezeti válaszokat, figyelembe véve azt, hogy a családi vállalkozások sajátos erőforrásrendszere, amelyet a szakirodalom familiness, illetve familiness capital kifejezéssel illet, erőteljes befolyással bírhat az egymással összefüggő, sorozatos krízisszituációk kezelésének módszereire. A TKP2021-NKTA-44 számú projekt az Innovációs és Technológiai Minisztérium Nemzeti Kutatási Fejlesztési és Innovációs Alapból nyújtott támogatásával, a Tématerületi Kiválósági Program 2021 (TKP2021-NKTA) pályázati program finanszírozásában valósult meg. Jelen tanulmány a BGE Budapest LAB Vállalkozásfejlesztési Iroda kutatásának keretében készült.
Hogyan állhat az államszámvitel a vezetés szolgálatába?
Authors: Tóth Balázs
Published: February 2025

A hazai államháztartási számvitelben 2014-től kezdve nyert teret az
eredményszemléletű megközelítés, viszont az általa kiváltott hatásokkal kapcsolatos
tapasztalatok vegyesek. A téma szakirodalma az eredményszemléletű adatok mellett
azért érvel, mert a gazdálkodás transzparenciája javul, hozzájárul a költségek pontos
nyilvántartásához, finanszírozáshoz, valamint a felelősségteljes gazdálkodáshoz.
Viszont, ahogy arra több kutatás is rávilágít, a gazdasági események naprakész
rögzítése, a megbízható és valós kép bemutatása önmagában nem elégséges a
gazdálkodáshoz való hozzájáruláshoz.
A számviteli adatok döntésekbe való bevonásához két oldal koordinált
(együtt)működésére van szükség: egyrészt az adatokat előállító kínálati oldalnak kell
megfelelően működni, vagyis a számvitel adatoknak alkalmasnak kell lenni vezetői
döntések támogatására. Másrészt, az adatokat felhasználó keresleti oldal vizsgálata is
szükséges. Az információk felhasználására vonatkozóan rendelkezni kell igénnyel és
szándékkal a döntéshozóknak, de ezen túlmenően az igények megfelelő specifikálása is
elengedhetetlen. Ennek segítségével a kínálati oldal fejlesztése is eredményesebb lehet,
mely hozzájárulhat a köz által rendelkezésre bocsájtott források hatékonyabb és
hatásosabb felhasználásához.
Kognitív torzítások szerepe a számviteli beszámolásban
Authors: Tóth Gábor
Published: February 2025

A számvitel kulcsfontosságú szerepet játszik a piaci szereplők döntéseinek
támogatásában. Azonban e szerepét nem tudja hatékonyan betölteni, ha nem értjük
meg és nem adunk megfelelő válaszokat a kognitív torzítások jelentette veszélyekre. A
kognitív torzítás az emberi gondolkodásban és ítéletalkotásban megjelenő
szisztematikus hiba, amely befolyásolja, hogyan értelmezzük és dolgozzuk fel az
információkat. Ezek a torzítások gyakran irracionális döntésekhez vezetnek. Jelen
tanulmány célja bemutatni hogyan kapcsolódik a kognitív torzítás a számviteli
beszámolás területéhez. Áttekintem a legjellemzőbb példákat, mint megerősítési torzítás
(Confirmation Bias), horgonyzási hatás (Anchoring Bias), hozzáférhetőségi heurisztika
(Availability Heuristic), önbeteljesítő jóslat (Self-Fulfilling Prophecy), keretezési hatás
(Framing Effect). Ezt követően feltérképezem a lehetséges jövőbeni kutatási irányokat.
Bemutatom milyen típusú kisérletekkel lehet vizsgálni ezt a területet.
HISTÓRIAS SOBRE PLANTAS E ANIMAIS: PODER E REPRESENTAÇÃO DO MUNDO NATURAL NA CONTÍSTICA DE DORIS LESSING
Authors: Mourão Manfred Rommel P V
Published: February 2025

Os estudos literários frequentemente se inspiraram no mundo natural e em teses naturalistas, apesar de, muitas vezes, não considerarem distinções óbvias entre elementos de realidades socioambientais diversas e ignorarem algumas questões relacionadas ao desenvolvimento do Capitalismo e do Imperialismo. As configurações naturais em nações africanas normalmente apontam para esses problemas, além de apresentarem espaços e tipos peculiares quando os comparamos à cultura ambiental do Ocidente. Este trabalho procura averiguar essas configurações, por meio da análise das categorias narradores(as) e personagens em alguns contos de Doris Lessing (1919 – 2013). Para isso, de início, buscamos situar a problemática da representação, do poder e da dialética natureza x cultura, seguida de uma leitura sobre o mundo natural em Greg Garrard (2004), Keith Thomas (1996), Jacques Derrida (2002), Jopi Nyman (2003) e Patricia Marion Louw (2003), entre outros. Procuramos mostrar, a partir desses e de outros autores, que a Ecocrítica, os Estudos Culturais e teorias próximas desenvolvem um exame dos aspectos socioeconômicos, espaciais e culturais sobre a representação do mundo natural na literatura, que estão presentes de modo peculiar na contística africana analisada, tais como a descoberta, o refúgio, a misoginia, o racismo, a exploração, o instinto e a morte. Diante disso, sugerimos que alguns artifícios da autora desenham um universo que contrasta o mundo africano com o da Europa. Esses fatos redundam em contos que assinalam a relação íntima dos humanos com animais e plantas, em contraste com uma realidade socioambiental divergente e marcas como a subserviência, a dominação e a afeição.
TRANSGREDINDO AS FRONTEIRAS: NEM VIRGEM, NEM LA LLORONA, NEM LA CHINGADA. LITERATURA LATINA DE JOVENS ADULTOS
Authors: Luna Freire Juliana , Emília Montenegro Brito Gabriela , Alves Sheylla
Published: February 2025

Esta pesquisa analisa as protagonistas das obras I’m Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter (2017), de Erika Sánchez, e Gabi, a Girl in Pieces (2014), de Isabel Quintero, em duas narrativas ficcionais sobre jovens latinas da primeira geração, nascidas nos Estados Unidos filhas de imigrantes mexicanos. As duas personagens, Julia Reyes e Gabi Hernandez, narram suas experiências no último ano do ensino médio, período de transição que as força a enfrentar um duplo padrão de expectativas, cobrado pela sociedade estadunidense e pela cultura mexicana. Utilizaremos a tríade materna chicana mencionada por Gloria Anzaldúa em seu livro Borderlands (1987) para entender como as personagens rompem com a imagem pré-definida das mulheres na cultura mexicana. A pesquisa lança um olhar para a Young Adult Literature como formadora de um contra-cânone (Aldama, 2018) para novas narrativas de crescimento das populações diversas que existem nos Estados Unidos, em destaque a narrativa de jovens latinas.
