Published: January 2025

The interaction between dental alloys and saliva affects both their properties and those of metallic materials. Aim: to analyze the in vitro interaction between a series of titanium-based dental alloys and artificial saliva. Materials and Methods: Samples made of Titanium and Nitinol were studied. Corrosion under tension was chosen, and a spectrophotometer was used to record the spectra of the solutions after the electrochemical treatment of the samples. In vitro testing of the cytotoxic impact of the studied eluates was conducted through flow cytometry analysis. Results: Titanium is by far the most resistant biomaterial, exhibiting the lowest corrosion rate. The cyclic potentiodynamic curve for Nitinol indicates typical pitting corrosion. Flow cytometry shows increased percentages of live cells, very low percentages of dead cells, an almost complete disappearance of pre-apoptotic cells, and an increase in the number of apoptotic cells for both materials. Conclusions: Both materials demonstrate increased stability in the oral environment and reduced cytotoxic potential.

Published: January 2025

A bibliometric analysis was conducted on CEFR-based strategies in university-level speaking instruction, based on data from 43 publications from 2014 to 2024. The CEFR's significant global influence on curriculum design, teaching methodologies, and assessment practices was substantiated. The data revealed an increase in the number of publications in 2016, 2019, and 2022, with a decline in other years. This pattern is likely influenced by external factors, such as the impact of the global pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The primary focus was on linguistic and cultural dimensions, with "Language Communication and Culture" representing the most highly-cited publication. The most frequently cited sources, such as "Speaking Teaching" and the "International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET)," emphasized the integration of technology in language instruction. Co-authorship analysis revealed the existence of well-established regional collaborative networks, which underscored the importance of collaborative efforts. The analysis confirmed the CEFR's enduring impact on speaking education and identified trends and gaps, which highlighted the need for greater international collaboration and diversity to enhance effective language teaching practices and inform policy decisions.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the effect of Knowledge-Oriented Leadership on Knowledge Worker Performance by considering the mediating role of Organizational Commitment, Job Satisfaction, and Knowledge Management Practices. This study was conducted at the East Java Nahdlatul Ulama Higher Education Institution (LPTNU), which faces challenges in improving lecturer performance. This study used quantitative methods with a sample of 283 respondents who were permanent lecturers at LPTNU. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results showed that Knowledge-Oriented Leadership has no direct effect on Knowledge Worker Performance. However, this variable has a positive and significant influence on Organizational Commitment and Knowledge Management Practices. In addition, Knowledge Management Practices and Organizational Commitment significantly improve Knowledge Worker Performance. Job Satisfaction was also found to act as a mediator in the relationship between Knowledge-Oriented Leadership and Knowledge Worker Performance. This research contributes to the development of the Knowledge-Based View (KBV) theory by reinforcing the importance of the mediating roles of Organizational Commitment, Job Satisfaction, and Knowledge Management Practices. From a practical perspective, these results provide insights for LPTNU management to strengthen policies that support Knowledge-Oriented Leadership, as well as improve Organizational Commitment and Knowledge Management Practices.

La corrupción judicial es un mal endémico que, además tiene efectos devastadores para el ESDD: cuando reviste la forma de lawfare ataca al principio de división de poderes y, con ello, a todo el sistema constitucional. Para recuperar el equilibrio entre los poderes del Estado, es preciso evitar la politización de la justicia y su injerencia en competencias propias de los poderes legislativo y ejecutivo; pero también es imprescindible garantizar, frente a las injerencias inconstitucionales de los otros poderes (lawfare contra el poder judicial). la autonomía e independencia de jueces y magistrados.
The Role of Foreign Languages in Social Media
Authors: Huseynova Arzu
Published: January 2025

Language is an integral part of our delegation; it forms the identity of the community and society. To play a creative language in the contemporary world, contemporary is one of the most important  components of an ugly person. At least a creative language knowledge expands a person's worldview. Social media can be used as a tool to protect and develop the language, but for this it is necessary to use the language carefully and consciously. Today, social media has become the perfect platform to spread news, friends and events. For this reason, there have been great changes in the way people relate to each other, which have had a significant impact on language use. Users prefer to use this language for frequent and easy communication. At the same time, the correct use of language has a positive effect on their personal and brand image. In addition, the use of language on social media has its drawbacks. Thus, excessive use of social media language can harm  language and reduce cultural richness. We can conclude that the role of foreign languages in social networks is indispensable, but care must be taken when using them.
Economic growth, wealth, and well-being: Is there an intergenerational divide?
Authors:   Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Artola Blanco Miguel
Published: January 2025

This paper reviews the main mechanisms that explain the growing divergence in economic well-being between age groups. The changing patterns in the labour market are well documented and consistently show that young workers have been negatively impacted by the reductions in relative skill premiums, the rise of new forms of contracting (part-time and freelance), and the growing weight of unemployment. Wealth inequalities are also rising, not only for the most obvious transmission channel (savings) but also because capital gains have disproportionately benefited the elderly. We conclude by reviewing possible futures paths and the effects of wealth transfers.

Authors: Oliveira Júlia Barbosa , Santos Ana Beatriz Gusmão , Rodrigues Polyana Alves
Published: January 2025

Among the numerous conditions affecting patients in the context of intensive care negatively influencing the outcome of critical illness, malnutrition stands out as one of the most significant ones. Screening for malnutrition and nutritional risk using validated tools is essential for setting nutritional care goals and improving the quality of healthcare services in intensive care. Therefore, the aim of this study is to outline the nutritional profile of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a public hospital in Brasília, Distrito Federal. Retrospective data were collected from the electronic medical records of patients admitted to the ICU, with inclusion criteria being age over 18 years, ICU stay longer than 48 hours, and the availability of required data in the records as stipulated by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) diagnostic tool. Among the 87 study participants, the clinical and nutritional profiles of the patients were assessed based on the cited criteria. The results revealed a prevalence of 51.7% of patients admitted with a nutritional diagnosis of malnutrition, most of which were related to chronic disease with inflammation (36.8%). Based on these data, a higher prevalence of 30-day mortality was observed in malnourished patients, supporting the hypothesis that this factor is associated with adverse outcomes for critically ill patients. This underscores the importance of early malnutrition screening through validated tools to guide nutritional care and planning in the ICU environment, aiming to improve the nutritional status of critically ill patients.

Authors: Rodrigues Grazielly Ferreira , Rodrigues Gracilene Gomes Ferreira , Ferreira Marlene Gomes
Published: January 2025

O clampeamento tardio do cordão umbilical (CTCU) é uma prática amplamente realizada por profissionais médicos, em que o cordão umbilical é clampeado até três minutos após o nascimento ou até cessarem as pulsações, com os benefícios de reduzir a incidência de anemia ferropriva durante a infância, reduzir a necessidade de transfusão e aumentar a oxigenação cerebral em pré-termos. O objetivo deste estudo é verificar na literatura dados sobre os benefícios do clampeamento tardio do cordão umbilical para o recém-nascido. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa que foi direcionada pelo uso dos descritores “delayed umbilical cord clamping”, “anemia”, “newborn”, “constriction” e “umbilical cord”, verificados no Descritores e ciências da saúde (DECS) e no Medical Subject Headings (MESH). Durante a observação dos estudos, foi identificado que o tempo ideal de CTCU é de no mínimo 1 minuto até 3 minutos ou a pulsação do cordão cessar após o parto, essa recomendação ocorre visto que há uma transferência de cerca de 80 ml de sangue da placenta no 1° minuto, e cerca de 100 ml após o 3° minuto pós-nascimento. Além disso, o CTCU contribui com cerca de 75 mg de ferro por quilograma do peso corporal, podendo chegar a 115-125 mg/kg, ajudando a evitar anemia durante os primeiros 12 meses de vida. Assim, o presente estudo reafirma a necessidade de uma maior adesão a esta prática durante o processo de parto a fim de gerar humanização do trabalho de parto e qualidade de vida para a mãe e o recém-nascido.
State Standing After United States v. Texas
Authors: Hamburger Jacob
Published: January 2025

Over the past decade, state attorneys general have become emboldened to file lawsuits asking federal courts to invalidate executive actions on immigration. As a result, lower courts have grappled with complex questions of when states have Article III standing to sue the federal government. In its 2023 decision in United States v. Texas, the Supreme Court addressed these issues directly for the first time, holding that Texas lacked standing to challenge the Biden administration’s civil immigration enforcement guidelines. But the Court reached this conclusion on narrow grounds, failing to provide a clear indication of when states might have standing in other immigration disputes. Crucially, although the Court arguably rejected applying “special solicitude” in the immigration context, it said nothing about when—if ever—states can assert sovereign interests related to immigration. As a result, it remains uncertain how the Texas case will affect ongoing and future state-led immigration litigation.
     This Article provides a framework for state standing grounded in an analysis of immigration federalism. The Court was correct to distance itself from the view articulated in Massachusetts v. EPA that state standing should be favored when states lack power to act within the federal system. Instead, this Article argues that states have sovereign interests for standing purposes where the federal system grants them authority over the enforcement or regulation of immigration. This framework recognizes that states have a stake in various aspects of the immigration system where they are empowered to act, but also limits states’ access to federal courts where they are not. By adopting a federalism-informed approach to standing, this Article seeks to promote state accountability and avoid undermining working relationships between state and federal governments on immigration issues.
The Disposable “Essential” Workers of COVID-19
Authors: Rangel-Medina Evelyn Marcelina
Published: January 2025

COVID-19 reshaped almost every aspect of economic activity and working life in the United States. It also amplified existing racial, gender, and economic disparities, significantly impacting working people. Specifically, low-wage essential workers of color experienced higher levels of exposure, long-term health complications, and COVID-19-related deaths than other workers. Thus, the episodic allocation of pandemic health risks tracks and illustrates inequalities that require more extensive solutions in the workplace.
     This Article demonstrates how race, gender, and citizenship shape the employment and life outcomes of essential workers who sustained the economy throughout the pandemic. Building on a health justice framework, it fills a gap in legal scholarship by identifying six employment-related factors compounding systemic inequalities. Profiling COVID-19-related lawsuits involving low-wage workers, it also analyzes the effectiveness of available legal remedies.
     Amid immense human loss, there are clear lessons in changing labor and employment structures to protect, rather than dispose of, essential workers from magnifying inequalities. Thus, this Article proposes adopting employment equity principles to address intersectional disparities in the workplace. Using the expertise of on-the-ground advocacy organizations, it also examines and critiques several administrative, legislative, and regulatory interventions. In light of impending health and climate change pandemics, this Article provides actionable steps to protect the most vulnerable among us.
Navigating the Future: The Dual Evolution of Strategic and People-Centric HR
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: January 2025

The modern workplace is undergoing rapid change driven by forces like globalization and technology, creating an imperative for human resources (HR) to evolve in two crucial ways. First, HR must become more strategic by incorporating deeper business understanding, strengthening its own planning abilities, and building operational expertise across core business functions. Second, HR needs to adopt a more people-centric focus, fostering employee growth, well-being, and inclusion through holistic programs. Case studies from the banking and technology sectors, such as HSBC and Microsoft, demonstrate how navigating this dual strategic and people-centric evolution enables HR to strengthen competitive positioning, improve employee experience, and drive successful organizational transformations. For HR leaders, committing to both strategic insights and employee empowerment will be key to guiding their companies through ongoing disruption.
