Multilingual imperatives in a local family: implementing a high-pressure family language policy in South Korea
Authors: Kim Sumi , Brutt-Griffler Janina
Published: January 2025

This study examines how a high-pressure family language policy (FLP) is implemented in South Korea, focusing on the experiences of a family with a preschool-aged child, Jay. The phenomenon of “English fever,” which has led to the widespread adoption of intensive early childhood English education, has contributed to the increasing prevalence of high-pressure FLPs. They are often characterized by parents’ belief in creating an English-rich environment at home and making substantial financial investments for their children’s future academic and professional success. Also, daily bilingual routines, alongside a focus on children’s holistic development, are integral to this approach. Using data from home observations, video recordings, observation notes, and semi-structured interviews, this study examines the intellectual, financial, and practical commitments the parents make to Jay’s English development, along with their ongoing concern for his bilingual progress. Furthermore, it investigates the socioemotional pressure and resilience experienced by both Jay and his parents. The findings suggest that promoting additive bilingual programs within public education could offer a sustainable alternative to some aspects of high-pressure FLPs. It posits that public school initiatives could empower families and young learners by integrating English into their language skills while promoting an appreciation for native languages and cultures among all students.
Közép-európai regionális együttműködések és kisállami érdekérvényesítés az Európai Unióban
Authors: Ákos Holányi
Published: January 2025

A regionális együttműködések a kisállami érdekérvényesítés hagyományos eszközei, amelyek felerősíthetik az egyenként elenyésző befolyással bíró országok hangját nemzetközi szervezetekben. A kisállamokban gazdag Közép-Európában számos olyan regionális formáció található, amelyeknek deklarált célja a tagjai közötti kooperáció erősítése az Európai Unióban. Jelen tanulmány célja egy olyan kutatás ismertetése, amely négy közép-európai kisállam (Ausztria, Csehország, Magyarország, Szlovákia) szemszögéből mérte fel öt regionális együttműködés (Visegrádi Négyek, Slavkovi Háromszög, Salzburg Fórum, Közép-európai Védelmi Együttműködés, Központi Ötök) szerepét országaik EU-n belüli diplomáciai erőfeszítéseiben Oroszország 2022-es ukrajnai invázióját követően. Az eredmények alapján egyedül a Visegrádi Négyeknek és a Slavkovi Háromszögnek volt érdemi szerepe a vizsgált kisállamok érdekérvényesítésében.
Egy katonai vereségre adott politikai reakció: a Francia Állam (1940–1944) és öröksége
Authors: Krisztián Bene
Published: January 2025

1940-ben a francia hadsereg megsemmisítő vereséget szenvedett a német haderőtől. Ez a váratlan esemény új kormány megalakulásához vezetett Philippe Pétain marsall vezetésével. A francia kormányzat Vichybe költözött, ahol a törvényhozás rendkívüli hatalmat biztosított Pétain számára. Ezeket a hatásköröket arra használta fel, hogy a külpolitikában a náci Németországgal kollaboráljon, belpolitikában pedig a „nemzeti forradalom” néven ismertté vált rendszerváltást hajtotta végre. Az új rezsim egy tekintélyelvű, antidemokratikus, korporatív, vidékcentrikus politikai rend megteremtésére törekedett, amely nagy hangsúlyt fektetett a Pétain körüli személyi kultusz kialakítására, elősegítette az antiszemitizmust, és a francia társadalom és gazdaság konzervatív, jobboldali eszmék szerinti átalakítására törekedett. A Vichy-rezsim politikai átalakításának radikális jellege végül kudarcot vallott, ami nagyrészt a háború alakulása miatt következett be. Mindazonáltal a rendszer politikájának számos kulcsfontosságú aspektusa továbbra is nagy hatást gyakorolt a háború utáni Franciaországra, és ezek egy része még ma is hatályban van. Ezek a reformok hozzájárultak az ország politikai, gazdasági és társadalmi modernizációjához, ebből kifolyólag árnyalják a Vichy-rezsim megítélését a modernkori Franciaország történelmében.
Ryzyko identyfikowane przez polskich przedsiębiorców w warunkach zmian otoczenia w latach 2020–2023
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jana Kochanowskiego w Kielcach, Zbroińska Barbara
Published: January 2025

Purpose – The research problem under consideration concerns the impact of the pandemic and war in Ukraine on the assessment of threat to the operation of enterprises. The aim of the article is to identify the common risks detected during the crisis of pandemic and war, by enterprises of different industries. Research method – The methods of critical analysis of documents, comparative analysis, inductive and deductive reasoning were used. Information and data contained in the activity reports and sustainability reports of 10 listed companies (industrial, construction, trade), for the period 2020–2023, as well as reports of the Central Statistical Office (CSO) on the survey of business sentiment were analyzed. The analysis also concerned entrepreneurs who have shown great adaptability, as well as revenues and financial performance which have maintained an upward trend. Results – Common risk areas for all the surveyed companies include macroeconomic, legal and business risks. Companies declare their intention to use experienced risks as opportunities for the future. Subjective assessments by entrepreneurs indicate that a pandemic is a greater threat than a war across the eastern border. An analysis of risk factors in the companies’ documents does not indicate that the companies are identifying new risks caused by the war and pandemic. Originality / value / implications / recommendations – According to the author’s own assessment, entrepreneurs do not identify new, unclassified types of risk.

Dłużne papiery wartościowe jako instrumenty finansowania lokalnej polityki publicznej w Polsce w latach 2012–2022
Authors:   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku, Mielech Ewelina
Published: January 2025

Purpose – The purpose of the study is to analyze the use of debt securities as instruments for financing local public policies in Poland in 2012–2022 and to identify the characteristics of these instruments from a legal and economic perspective. Research method – The research procedure consisted of the following: analysis of the available literature on the subject relating to the local public policy issues and debt securities, analysis of reports on the implementation of the local government budgets, analysis of data from: the National Bank of Poland, Fitch Ratings agency and the organized securities market Catalyst. Results – In recent years, municipal bond issues have become an increasingly important source of financing the local public policies. It has been shown that the financing of various planes of local public policy through the issuance of securities is possible mainly in the investment aspect. The planes of the local public policy related to the environmental protection can be financed by issuing green bonds. It was noted that the issue of revenue bonds is a relatively rarely used instrument in the area of the Polish local finance. Originality / value / implications / recommendations – The evaluation of debt securities as instruments of local the public policy undertaken in the article implies the need to expand the research to include the socio‑‑economic conditions of development of individual TSUs and their impact on bond issues.
Sytuacja finansowa polskich przedsiębiorstw po zakończeniu współpracy inwestycyjnej z funduszami private equity – badanie pilotażowe
Authors:   Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny w Krakowie, Oleksy Agnieszka
Published: January 2025

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to examine the financial condition of Polish enterprises funded by private equity funds (PE) after the divestment period and to compare it with enterprises operating under similar market conditions and with similar characteristics. A research hypothesis has been proposed, suggesting that the financial condition of enterprises financed by PE funds after the divestment period is weaker than that of comparable companies. This may be related to the specific nature of the PE investment process and issues raised in the literature concerning the increase in company debt by PE funds. Research method – The pilot study covered 10 Polish private equity backed firms after exits and 10 comparable companies. The financial condition of companies was examined using the three multidimensional discriminant models and the financial ratio analysis. The time scope of the study covered four years for each company: the year of the divestment/similar transaction and the following three years. Results – The results showed that in both groups of companies, the financial condition deteriorated after divestment. However, PE backed companies were characterized by weaker values of financial ratios, and the risk of bankruptcy was more frequent among them. In addition, it was shown that these companies were characterized by a much higher level of debt in the year of PE exits, which decreased in subsequent years. Originality / value / implications / recommendations – The results of the study indicate the existence of new challenges associated with the growing share of PE investments in the Polish capital market (which is a very positive phenomenon, as funds fill a significant capital gap). They highlight the need for and set the direction for broader research on the impact of PE fund investment cooperation on the long‑term financial situation of Polish portfolio companies and the understanding of its determinants. Such research will help to identify the circumstances under which a potential deterioration of the financial situation of companies after the exit of PE funds might occur, the groups of companies that may be affected, and how this can be prevented. One of the ways to prevent this could be, for example, the implementation of certain “value‑adding” tools used by PE funds into the corporate governance of companies in the post‑divestment period.

Impact of core cell size on selected properties of honeycomb paperboard
Authors: Kmita-Fudalej Gabriela , Jasiński Grzegorz , Kołakowski Zbigniew
Published: January 2025

The effect of the cell size of honeycomb paperboard core was studied relative to the grammage (basis weight) and two key strength properties of cellular paperboard: bending stiffness (BS) and flat crush resistance (FCT). The subject of the study was honeycomb paperboard of a different structure, in which single-layer kraftliner paper was used for the flat layers, with a grammage and thickness lower than the paper used for the paperboard core. Five paperboards made of the same fibrous materials of the same thickness and different core cell diameter D were tested, equal to 10, 12, 14, 17, and 22 mm, respectively. The research showed a close dependence of the grammage of the paperboard, BS, and the FCT of the honeycomb paperboard on the core cell size. With the increase of the core cell size, the above-mentioned physical properties showed a decreasing trend. For the honeycomb paperboards tested, a linear relationship was obtained between the grammage, BS, FCT of the honeycomb board and the diameter D of the hexagonal core cell.
Estimating Healthcare Expenditures for Northern Europe and the Baltic Region: Revisiting the Baumol Model
Authors: Singh Shailender , Singh Amar , Mohan Arvind , Gour Tanuja
Published: January 2025

The study aims to empirically test Baumol’s cost disease hypothesis about to the secular rise in healthcare expenditures for Northern Europe and the Baltic region in recent decades. Panel data regressions and adjusted Baumol variables are applied to the data for 11 countries of Northern Europe and the Baltic region from 2000 to 2019. The results highlight that Baumol’s cost disease partly drives the secular rise in healthcare expenditures in the countries studied. The Baumol cost disease is estimated to be around 0.01 to 0.05 for current health expenditure, 0.07–5.48 for public health expenditure, and 3.14–6.23 for private health expenditure. This finding suggests that achieving a balanced growth in different sectors of the economy may result in separating the health sector from having a Baumol’s effect in the countries studied.

Représentations idéologiques d'une francophonie albertaine en mutation
Authors: Roy Sylvie , Macé Fanny
Published: January 2025

Les apprenant·e·s de français langue seconde (désormais FLS) sont souvent confronté·e·s aux idéologies associées au français dont l’une consiste en une vue homogène de la langue et de la culture francophone. Toutefois, la reconnaissance d’identités plurielles et multiples peut amener un changement au niveau des discours si nous acceptons les multiples variétés de français de personnes plurilingues, non seulement issues de familles immigrantes mais aussi de programmes d’immersion française. 
Dans cet article, à la lumière de la sociolinguistique pour le changement, nous examinons comment ces idéologies linguistiques influencent certains discours et pratiques d’étudiant·e·s en formation des maîtres ainsi que ceux de jeunes de la communauté d’expression française vivant en Alberta. Après avoir soumis nos données à une analyse de discours, nous constatons que la plupart des apprenant·e·s de FLS ne se perçoivent pas comme faisant partie intégrante de la francophonie. Toutefois, les discours sont en proie au changement et les personnes plurilingues semblent en mesure d’apporter leurs contributions à ces récits et à la façon dont on les déconstruit afin de (re)définir la francophonie canadienne : l’objectif visé étant de miser, à plus long terme, sur une inclusion accrue de tous les locuteurs et locutrices de français au sein de la francophonie mondiale.
Schools as Sites of Homelessness Prevention
Authors: Malenfant Jayne , Nichols Naomi
Published: January 2025

Youth homelessness in Canada impacts a significant number of young people. More specific to our focus, populations of young people who are more likely to experience homelessness (e.g. youth with mental health issues, 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, youth from care, and Indigenous youth) face significant barriers to accessing safe, culturally appropriate, and supportive education, suggesting rights to housing and rights to education are intersecting equity issues. This article presents findings from a participatory research project led by members of Youth Action Research Revolution, carried out in Tio’tiá:ke/Montréal, Québec, Canada. Building from experiences young people shared, this article highlights aspects of the public education system that pose problems for youth who are precariously housed or homeless, namely, the application of one-size-fits-all approaches, barriers for students with mental health or learning disability diagnoses, and the lack of clear or actionable institutional mechanisms for students to access preventative support. Following this, we outline educational discourses, practices, and processes that constitute where something may have been done differently to prevent homelessness. We conclude with possible actions to support youth homelessness prevention in schools, including creating more flexible ways for children and families to access supports, resourcing “champion” teachers, and addressing the insidious biases and discrimination in the organization of school policies.
Examining Students’ Perceptions of Equity in Informal STEM Education: A Community-Engaged, Visual Method
Authors: Peralta Karie Jo , Mann Sloan Eberly
Published: January 2025

This report from the field presents a community-engaged, visual method for evaluating students’ perceptions of equity in Maker Club, an informal STEM (Science, Technology, Math, and Engineering) education program in Ohio. The purpose of the program is to increase access to and interest in STEM fields among underserved communities. A total of fifteen middle school-aged program participants from two cohorts that were hosted at two different after-school program sites engaged in participant-employed photography to document their views of the implementation of six design principles for equitable learning. The evaluation process unfolded in five phases: 1) recruitment of co-researchers, including explanation of guidelines; 2) teaching co-researchers how to use the camera, including testing out the camera; 3) co-researchers observing, and taking pictures of, students and staff engaged in the makerspace; 4) informal photo interviewing; 5) sharing with program staff via informal conversations and a formal meeting discussion. Takeaways include that co-researchers perceived students benefiting from social support, community partner presence, and local knowledge being recognized. Lessons learned entail keeping students on track, ensuring that there is enough staff support focused on the evaluation process, and being open to other potential, meaningful uses of co-researchers’ photos.
The underlying ideology of (not) getting the message in metaphors across in conference interpreting: A cognitive-critical-discourse approach
Authors: Gao Fei
Published: January 2025

Scholarly interests in metaphor translation are predominantly drawn to ‘translatability’ with a focus on cultural universals/specificities, overlooking the underlying ideology in metaphor ‘transfer’ from source texts to target texts. Benefiting from a methodological weld of the cognitive approach to metaphor and critical discourse analysis (CDA), this study examines the underlying ideology in metaphor re-encoding by Chinese conference interpreters at the Summer Davos Forum in China. The analysis demonstrates that the interpreters deploy different metaphor translation strategies to (a) preserve/accentuate positive values and (b) reduce/conceal negative values in metaphor re-encoding for China-related discourses, thus introducing ideological shifts in the TTs. The results suggest that ideology cannot only condition metaphor transfer but override linguistic or cultural factors in metaphor translation/interpreting regarding ideologically charged discourse. The article concludes by highlighting the value of the methodological integration of the cognitive approach to metaphor and CDA for a critical examination of metaphor transfer in translation/interpreting studies.
Three new enchytraeid species from Korean soils: Description of Fridericia granulocytoides sp. nov., Mesenchytraeus jeombongensis sp. nov. and Mesenchytraeus racemosus sp. nov. (Enchytraeidae, Clitellata)
Authors: Dózsa-Farkas Klára , Nagy Hajnalka , Felföldi Tamás , Hong Yong
Published: January 2025

The terrestrial enchytraeid fauna of South Korea has been intensively studied in recent years, as a consequence of which, several species new to science have been described. In this paper, we describe further three new enchytraeid species from Korean soils, one Fridericia (Fridericia granulocytoides sp. nov.) species and two species from the genus Mesenchytraeus (Mesenchytraeus jeombongensis sp. nov. and Mesenchytraeus racemosus sp. nov.). The validity of these new species was verified via comparative morphological observations and molecular taxonomic analyses based on sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 and histone 3 genes.

VETOZIM MULTI - AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTION FOR THE POULTRY INDUSTRY
Authors: Khodakivskyi O. , Baranovskyi Ye.
Published: January 2025

The materials of the article describe the role and purpose of enzymes in feed production, in particular for poultry farming. The composition of the multienzyme preparation Vetozym Multi from the company "Vetsintez" is characterized, which contains a complex of enzymatic activities: glucanase, xylanase, cellulase, protease, amylase, mannanase, phytase. The practical results of using the multienzyme preparation Vetozym Multi as part of compound feeds for broilers are presented. The recipes of the compound feed Grower for broilers are calculated and the optimal rate of enzyme introduction is established in the amount of 100 g per 1 t. The percentage of microcomponents introduced into the compound feed Grower for broilers is compared and the nutritional indicators of compound feed without and with the use of the multienzyme preparation Vetozym Multi are calculated. It was established that the introduction of the enzyme allows to reduce from 20 to 30% monocalcium phosphate in the composition of the recipe, due to the existing phytase activity. Vetozym Multi significantly increases the efficiency of feed use, an increase in average daily weight gain of broilers by 1..2.5 g is observed, the conversion rate of compound feed for poultry is reduced by 0.02…0.07 and the cost of recipes is reduced by 300-500 UAH/t, which became possible due to the optimization of the use of sunflower and grain products with a high fiber content. The presence of thermostable enzymes in the composition of the Vetozym Multi preparation allows it to be used in the production of compound feeds with advanced heat treatment at a conditioning and granulation temperature of up to +90 °C, which will contribute to a more complete breakdown and assimilation of raw material components, in particular carbohydrates, proteins and fiber. Calculation of economic indicators shows that the drug Vetozym Multi not only provides balanced nutrition for poultry, but also allows you to reduce the cost of feed due to more efficient use of less expensive components.
Actividades de riesgo para la adquisición de psitacosis en propietarios de psitácidos de compañía en México
Authors: García-Espinosa Gary , Torres-Torres Anhet Alin , Perez-Rivero Juan José
Published: January 2025

La psitacosis es una enfermedad infecciosa que afecta al menos a 460 diferentes especies de aves domésticas, silvestres y 32 especies de mamíferos incluyendo al hombre, esta enfermedad se transmite de manera directa e indirecta. Con el objetivo de identificar las conductas de riesgo de los propietarios de aves de compañía, que favorezcan la exposición a Chlamydia psittaci. Se realizo una encuesta a 146 propietarios que abordaban temas como el tiempo de convivencia con las aves, las prácticas de alimentación, las condiciones de alojamiento, las medidas de higiene y el contacto con otros animales de compañía. Existe 3.49 veces más probabilidad que los propietarios de psitácidos no cuenten con un área específica para realizar el aislamiento de aves enfermas o recientemente adquiridas. Por otro lado, este estudio revelo que existe 1.32 veces más probabilidad de que besen a sus aves y 5.5 veces más probabilidad de tener otro tipo de animales de compañía en su casa (perros y gatos). Un aspecto también preocupante es que, en el grupo encuestado, existe 2.23 veces más probabilidad de no contar con programas de control de plagas en su casa. Es importante continuar promoviendo la conciencia sobre la transmisión y signos de enfermedades zoonóticas.
A comparative study of of T regulatory cells numbers (CD4+CD25highFoxP3+CD127low) in patients under 1 year of age with cataract, glaucoma, and retinopathy of prematurity (review of the own studies)

Potential involvement of immune system in pathophysiology of congenital glaucoma, cataract, and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in infants has been suggested. However, its understanding still remains limited. T regulatory cells (CD4+CD25highFoxP3+CD127low), with their role in autoimmunity, are considered pivotal in this respect, although there is a scarcity of publications in this context. This study aims to address this gap. Our purpose was to compare the levels of blood cells with (CD4+CD25highFoxP3+CD127low) phenotype in infants with ROP, congenital glaucoma and cataract, and healthy full-term infants. This retrospective case-control study included 131 infants (262 eyes). Inclusion criteria were as follows: age under 12 months and a confirmed diagnosis of congenital cataract (20 eyes), congenital glaucoma (21 eyes), and ROP (158 eyes). The control group consisted of 27 full-term infants (54 eyes) with normal eye exam. Primary outcomes included study of Treg cells (CD4+CD25highFoxP3+CD127low) levels in all groups. Secondary outcomes involved the correlation between the CD4+CD25highFoxP3+CD127low subpopulation and weight at birth. According to our previous studies and when comparing the results in the present study of children under 1 year of age, we found significant differences in the number of T regulatory cells (CD4+CD25highFoxP3+CD127low) between premature and full-term children, as well as in the patient groups with cataract and glaucoma by their weight category. The authors were able to detect differences between stages of retinopathy of prematurity by the number of T regulatory cells (CD4+CD25highFoxP3+CD127low), distinguishing posterior aggressive retinopathy of prematurity as a special form of this pathology. The reduced levels of CD4+CD25highFoxP3+CD127low cells in infants with ROP type 1 suggests autoimmune reactions in its pathophysiology. The remarkable difference in (CD4+CD25highFoxP3+CD127low) Treg cells in patients with congenital glaucoma and cataract may indicate immune-mediated mechanisms in their development. The clinical significance of the revealed correlation between the level of studied T cells and birth weight in infants with cataract and glaucoma is not clear and requires further investigation with regard to the disease severity. The index can be used as a potential prognostic marker of the disease course and visual outcomes. Collectively, this study provided valuable insights on the potential targets for novel treatment strategies in infants with ROP, glaucoma, and cataracts.
The National Language as a component of ethnological studies
Authors: Betsenko Tetiana
Published: January 2025

The national language is an important component of ethnological studies, raising questions about the significance of the “Ethnology” course within the national educational and humanitarian-philological paradigm of higher education in Ukraine and the role of language in understanding the multi-level culture of an ethnic group. Ethnic studies, particularly Ukrainian ethnic studies, provide an abundant realm for self-discovery, self-expression, and intellectual development. Ethnic studies as an educational component is designed to promote the activation of a person’s sense of national identity, separateness, uniqueness, sense and understanding of their identity as a carrier of particular cultural and national traditions, distinctions, values, and awareness of the significance of ethnicity in the global space. The study of ethnographic material will significantly enrich the scientific knowledge base, broaden the scientific outlook, and encourage further in-depth understanding of the national heritage and values of the ethnic group. In addition, ethnographic material can become the basis for further scientific research.
English borrowings in the Polish language in the area of make-up
Authors: Stryj Hanna
Published: January 2025

This paper deals with the English borrowings in the Polish language, with the emphasis on the borrowings in the context of make-up. It provides examination of borrowings in general,regarding both types of borrowings and the reasons behind them entering a given language. The main part of the paper, however, focuses on the analysis of a questionnaire conducted in order to gather data necessary to test the hypothesis suggesting the possibility of presence of direct relation between the proficiency in English, level of interest in make-up and the frequency of usage of borrowings in the context of make-up by native Polish speakers. To be more precise, the hypothesis predicts that the native Polish speakers with higher level of proficiency in English, or higher level of interest in make-up may be more likely to opt for theborrowings over the available native Polish equivalents in the context of make-up.

Authors: Machado Rodrigo de Oliveira , Chaise Rodrigo Falcão , Jobim Paula Monmany , Rocha Kátia Bones , Pizzinato Adolfo , Cerqueira-Santos Elder
Published: January 2025

O desenvolvimento de aplicativos para dispositivos móveis de comunicação (apps) se configura como uma das principais estratégias adotadas por governos, entidades de saúde e empresas para educação, monitoramento, comunicação e reabilitação em saúde e desempenhou um papel-chave no enfrentamento à pandemia da Covid-19. A literatura científica, especificamente no Brasil, acerca dos resultados gerados pelo uso desse tipo de tecnologia e o próprio mapeamento dessa tecnologia ainda não é consistente. Sendo assim, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo mapear os aplicativos que foram desenvolvidos para contribuir com o enfrentamento da pandemia da Covid-19 no contexto brasileiro durante o ano de 2020 e analisar suas características. O método foi orientado pelo modelo de revisão sistemática da literatura, aplicado em duas lojas on-line, Google Play (Android) e Apple Store (IOS). A partir da busca por meio dos seguintes descritores “Coronavírus”, “Covid-19”, “SARS-CoV-2” e “isolamento social”, selecionaram-se 31 aplicativos. Os resultados sugerem que o número de downloads dos apps está relacionado ao público-alvo ao qual se destina (população geral ou profissionais de saúde) e à sua abrangência (nacional ou regional). As categorias elaboradas demonstraram que as quatro principais funcionalidades dos apps estão relacionadas a informações sobre o vírus, autoavaliação do usuário, mecanismos de geolocalização e de telessaúde. Ainda, foi observado que os principais desenvolvedores de apps foram entidades do poder público em colaboração com o setor privado. É fundamental que os desenvolvedores e gestores públicos adotem medidas que facilitem a adesão de usuários aos apps, a fim de potencializar o alcance da população à saúde digital.

Para tanto, o trabalho usou o método de desenho de séries temporais de Ignácio Cano, analisando o período antes da intervenção e durante a intervenção para mensurar os resultados obtidos através do Projeto no que se refere a análise do tempo médio de espera por consulta em cardiologia. Os testes aplicados para avaliação dos resultados foram testes para diferenças de médias e Correlação Bivariada de Pearson. Mediante os resultados obtidos através destes testes foi possível inferir acerca da hipótese de que houve correlação inversamente proporcional entre a redução do tempo médio de espera na fila por consulta em cardiologia em relação aos dias por período entre os 78 casos extraídos e analisados. A pesquisa evidenciou uma redução de aproximadamente 81% no tempo médio de espera, em dias, para consulta durante o período da intervenção em tele consulta em comparação ao período antes do projeto.

Introdução: o Brasil tem registrado aumento nas incidências de sífilis gestacional e congênita, revelando-se como um grave problema de saúde pública no país. Objetivo: O estudo tem como objetivo identificar o perfil epidemiológico de gestantes portadoras de sífilis no município de Esteio/RS. Método: Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, descritivo e de abordagem quantitativa, com 79 casos de usuárias com sífilis gestacional, realizado a partir dos registros de notificação e prontuários das gestantes e seus recém-nascidos, no período de 1 de janeiro de 2021 a 31 de dezembro de 2022. Resultados: A maior ocorrência da sífilis se deu em mulheres jovens com 58,1% entre 14 e 25 anos; 20,37% possuem o ensino fundamental incompleto e em 39,2% dos casos este indicador é ignorado; mais de 70,0% dos tratamentos realizados foram considerados adequados. Os parceiros adequadamente tratados representam 43% do total, mas 35,5% não realizaram o tratamento. Ainda, 89,9% das gestantes realizaram o tratamento durante o pré-natal, das quais 62% fizeram o tratamento no 1º trimestre gestacional.  Nos recém-nascidos cujas mães apresentaram o VDRL positivo, em 49,4% deles foram expostos à sífilis congênita e 24% não houve registros. Ainda 68,3% dos recém-nascidos foram dispensados do tratamento. Conclusão: Constatou-se nesta pesquisa a fragilidade do preenchimento adequado das notificações, com dados incompletos ou incorretos, prejudicando a elaboração de ações de prevenção, combate e controle da sífilis materna e congênita.

Published: January 2025

Introdução: a desidratação é o estado de déficit de água corporal devido a perdas primárias ou à ingestão inadequada de líquidos. Pode não ser aparente até que ocorra a perda de, aproximadamente 2%, da massa corporal. Segundo a literatura, mesmo a desidratação leve pode afetar o desempenho cognitivo. São poucos os estudos sobre a quantidade de perda de fluidos em pilotos militares durante o voo. Objetivo: compreender a prevalência da desidratação em pilotos militares durante os voos, por meio de uma revisão sistemática de literatura. Método: a revisão sistemática foi realizada seguindo as recomendações do PRISMA. As buscas foram nas bases de dados: MEDLINE, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE, SCIENCE DIRECT e SCIELO. Não houve filtros de idioma ou delimitação de um período na busca. O risco de viés foi determinado por meio da avaliação crítica do Joanna Briggs Institute. Resultados: encontrados total de 5.830 estudos na revisão sistemática. Em seguida, foram excluídos 615 estudos duplicados e 5.202 que não cumpriram os critérios de elegibilidade. Após a leitura de 21 textos completos, 5 estudos foram incluídos na revisão sistemática. Conclusão: os resultados indicaram que existe a prevalência de desidratação dos pilotos durante voos militares, com taxas de perda de fluidos significativas, de acordo com o tipo de aeronave e o tempo de voo. A relação entre desidratação e desempenho cognitivo foi a repercussão mais citada na maioria dos estudos. Portanto, quanto maior a desidratação é provável a piora no desempenho cognitivo dos pilotos, podendo refletir-se como efeito crítico na segurança do voo.
Geology and Ground-Water Resources of Harper County, Kansas
Authors: Bayne Charles K.
Published: January 2025

This report describes the geography, geology, and ground-water resources of Harper County in south-central Kansas. The hydrologic and geologic information was obtained in the field during the summers of 1955 and 1956. The field data upon which this report is based are given in tables; they include records of 458 wells and test holes, chemical analyses of 32 water samples from wells and test holes, and 317 logs of wells and test holes.
Harper County lies partly in the Wellington Lowland minor division of the Arkansas River Lowland section of the Central Lowland province and partly in the Red Hills minor division of the Dissected High Plains section of the Great Plains province. A small area in northwestern Harper County lies in the High Plains section of the Great Plains province. The county is drained by Chikaskia River, Bluff Creek, Big and Little Sandy Creeks, and their tributaries. The topography in general slopes southeastward. The normal annual precipitation at Anthony, the county seat, is 27.41 inches. Wheat farming is the principal industry of the county, and oil is the chief natural resource.
The rocks that crop out in Harper County range in age from Paleozoic to Recent. The oldest of these are a part of the Ninnescah Shale of Permian age. Younger Permian rocks that crop out are the Harper Siltstone and the Salt Plain Siltstone. The Permian rocks in Harper County yield small quantities of hard water. Pleistocene deposits, ranging in age from Nebraskan to Recent, unconformably overlie the Permian rocks in the valleys and over much of the upland. These deposits consist of silt, sand, and gravel, and yield moderate supplies of water in parts of the county.
The report contains a map showing the areas of outcrop of the rock formations. The shape and slope of the water table are shown by means of contours; the locations of wells and test holes for which records are given also are shown on maps.
The ground-water reservoir is recharged principally from rain and snow that falls within the county, by percolation from streams and depressions, and by underflow from adjacent areas. Ground water is discharged from the ground-water reservoir by seepage into streams, by transpiration and evaporation, by movement into adjacent areas, and by wells. Water is pumped from wells in Harper County for domestic, stock, municipal, industrial, and irrigation use. Yields as great as 500 gpm can be obtained from wells located in the most productive areas. The results of aquifer tests are included in this report.
Chemical analyses of samples of water from Harper County indicate that the quality varies greatly from place to place. Strong concentrations of sulfate are common in water from the Permian rocks. Water from Pleistocene deposits, although fairly hard, generally is suitable for most uses.
The North American transcontinental transform fault--a case where mega-regional geophysical investigations influence Kansas exploration strategies
Authors: Kinsland Gary L.
Published: January 2025

It has been proposed in previous publications that a portion of a major late Precambrian-early Paleozoic strike-slip fault, the North American transcontinental transform fault (NATTF) exists in Kansas. A major conclusion of the fault hypothesis is that the Central North American rift system (CNARS) is discontinuous in central Kansas. In fact, the CNARS predates the NATTF. so that the original continuation of the CNARS is 800 km (480 mi) to the northwest underneath the Hartville uplift. Subsequent structural activity in Kansas has resulted in the Nemaha Ridge system. which is continuous across the NATTF and probably resulted in the development of gravity and magnetic patterns in southern Kansas. The patterns indicate tectonism approximately colinear with the extension of the CNARS. The NATTF should be considered in exploration because it implies continuation of the CNARS under the Hartville uplift; many northwest-southwest faults in the Central Kansas uplift may be related to the NATTF: and the NATTF offers a likely conduit for the penetration of deep mineralizing fluids into the shallower crust.
A Preliminary Report on the Water Supply of the Meade Artesian Basin, Meade County, Kansas
Authors: Frye John C.
Published: January 2025

The Meade artesian basin is situated in Meade County, southwestern Kansas, at the eastern edge of the high plains. It is underlain by unconsolidated gravel, sand, silt, and clay, of Pliocene, Pleistocene, and Recent age, which lie unconformably on Cretaceous and Permian rocks. Most of the artesian water is obtained from the Pliocene deposits, but some of it comes from the Pleistocene beds at shallow depths. Development of the artesian water in this area was started in 1886, and in 1938 approximately 3,860 acre-feet of water was produced from wells by pumping, and natural flow from the artesian aquifers of the area. In addition, about 3,240 acre-feet of water was discharged by large springs in 1938. The head of the artesian water in wells has declined only a few feet since the first well was drilled, and the increased discharge from flowing wells has been about equal to the decrease in spring discharge. The shallow non artesian water is derived partly from upward leakage of artesian water. The water table has been depressed considerably during the last 50 years. The perennial yield obtainable from the artesian water-bearing beds without decreasing the head is about equal to the total annual discharge at the present time, that is, about 7,109 acre-feet annually, of which 3,860 acre-feet is derived from wells and 3,240 acre-feet from springs. A considerable quantity of artesian water is lost by leakage into the overlying body of shallow ground water. It is estimated that under conditions of general pumping over the basin sufficient to lower the head enough to stop all surface flow and underground leakage, an annual yield of about 10,000 acre-feet could be obtained from wells. Under such conditions, however, the main source of recharge to the shallow water reservoir would be destroyed and serious consequences to naturally subirrigated crops might result.
Ground-Water Supplies Available for National Defense Industries in South-Central Kansas
Authors: Lohman Stanley W.
Published: January 2025

This report calls timely attention to the availability in south-central Kansas of large supplies of ground water for use by many national defense industries. Detailed study of the northern part of the area by the cooperating state, federal, and municipal agencies led in 1940 to the development of a new groundwater supply for the city of Wichita.
As much as 5,000,000 gallons daily of good water could be pumped continuously from the productive sands and gravels occupying most of the McPherson filled valley, and larger supplies could be pumped in favorable areas for a period of a few years.
Supplies of from 10,000,000 to more than 20,000,000 gallons daily are available from wells along the southwestern part of the Arkansas valley between Hutchinson and Wichita, and somewhat smaller supplies are available in the valley downstream from Wichita. Much larger supplies would be available in this valley for a period of a few years. Except in the new supply area of the city of Wichita, where additional development is not warranted, the ground water in most parts of the valley is hard and locally somewhat brackish, but is suitable for many industrial uses.
