Authors: Zeng Yu-Jia , Cui Xuan , Qiu Yu-Qie , Chen Hong-Kun , Zhang Hai-Yan , Chen Zhong-Yuan
Published: April 2024

Traditional passive satellite positioning systems are facing problems such as construction difficulty, high operation and maintenance costs, and positioning range limits caused by quantity of launched satellites, due to gradually scarce earth’s orbit resources. Therefore, a radiation source positioning system design scheme based on quilted GEO communication satellites is proposed to meet with those problems. The proposed positioning system is able to intelligently choose one of three modes (three-satellites TDOA mode, dual-satellites FDOA/TDOA mode, or single-satellite mode), on the basis of searching satellites database, to position unknown radiation source. The positioning result is corrected using a known reference radiation station. To improve signal detection performance, a technology of co-channel interference cancellation is proposed when unknown radiation source signal forwarded by neighboring satellite is interference badly by its communication signal. Results of emulation shows， the proposed system can effectively locate unknown radiation sources within a range of 1000 kilometers, its positioning accuracy can reach 10 kilometers.
Tipping Points in the Croatian Political Sentiment: When, Why, and Does the Economy Have Anything to Do with It?
Authors: Sorić Petar , Hruška Marija
Published: April 2024

Building upon two political opinion polls, we formally test for structural breaks in the approval rates of major Croatian political parties, the Government, and the general societal direction. Departing from the mainstream studies of political sentiment, we find asymmetries between the macroeconomy and incumbent's approval rates. Namely, only major economic turmoil can alter the way citizens evaluate political parties. The found structural breaks are driven by corruption scandals involving high party officials, and by major negative economic shocks, confirming the loss aversion concept. During economic booms, political sentiment exhibits a separate trajectory, independent of the macroeconomy. We also test for threshold effects in the generating process of political sentiment, finding that it reacts significantly only to large unemployment levels. The stated conclusions are in line with the prevailing narrative that the Croatian political landscape is highly polarised, divided over ideological issues and socio-cultural norms, so voters in typical economic circumstances do not evaluate incumbents based on their economic performance, but on their successfulness in representing ideological positions.
Acculturation Expectations of Croatian Teachers from Refugee Students: The Role of Ethnic Identity, Empathy, Intergroup Contact and School Climate
Authors: Gospodnetić Filip , Čorkalo Biruški Dinka
Published: April 2024

The aim of this research conducted on a sample of 163 teachers from elementary schools in Zagreb attended by refugee students was to assess the individual contribution of ethnic identity, general and ethnocultural empathy, direct contact and school climate on teacher's acculturation expectations from refugee students. The first hypothesis stated that ethnic identity would be negative, while general and ethnocultural empathy, contact and school climate would be positive predictors of integration expectations. The second hypothesis stated that all the predictors would negatively predict assimilation expectations. The results indicate that increased ethnocultural empathy and school climate predict increased expectation of integration, while contrary to the hypothesis, increased school climate positively predicts acculturation expectations of assimilation. The research's insights indicate that ethnocultural empathy and school climate can explain intergroup relations between Croatian teachers and refugee students and can help in preparing Croatian teachers for teaching refugee students.
"You Know What, I'm Going to Write a Book About It!" – Analysis of Life Histories of People in Vulnerable Housing Situations
Authors: Bilinović Rajačić Ana , Čikić Jovana
Published: April 2024

In the context of vulnerable housing situations (homelessness and housing exclusion), the life course perspective, the concept of housing careers and housing pathways emphasise different life experiences, differential circumstances, and the social contexts of arriving at such a position, depending on age. Keeping this in perspective, the research identified the dominant events and circumstances that marked people's descent into one of the vulnerable housing situations across: a) youth and early middle age, b) late middle age, and c) old age. The study was conducted between December 2021 and February 2022 in the city of Novi Sad (Republic of Serbia). 35 respondents who are in one of the vulnerable housing situations took part in the research. Convenience, purposive and snowball sampling were applied, and the data was collected through a semi- -standardised, in-depth interview. The obtained results indicate the multiplicity and cumulativeness of adverse events and characteristics in the life trajectories of persons in vulnerable housing, as well as the specificity of unfavourable circumstances depending on age. In conclusion, the research confirmed the findings of previous literature in the domain of the life history of vulnerable housing and indicated possible directions for improving the understanding of this topic.
Determinants of Parental Burnout
Authors: Macuka Ivana , Šimunić Ana , Šimac Danijela
Published: April 2024

Parental burnout is a syndrome characterised by exhaustion in parenting as a result of permanent exposure to chronic parental stress. This syndrome manifests in emotional distancing from one's children with loss of pleasure and fulfilment in one's parental role and doubts about the ability to be a good parent. The main goal was to examine the contribution of sociodemographic variables (gender and age of parents, education, work status and financial status of the family), personal characteristics of parents (emotional (in)stability and perfectionism in parenting), dimensions of parental behaviour (parental support, permissiveness and restrictive control) and personal characteristics of the target child (gender, age, strengths and difficulties of the child) in explaining parental burnout. A total of 490 parents (90% mothers) participated in the research, with the average age of 40 (M = 40,04; SD = 5,63). The results of HRA show that the most significant predictors of parental burnout are parental characteristics (higher emotional instability and perfectionistic concerns), parental behaviour (low parental support) and child characteristics (younger age of the child, higher level of internalised and externalised problems). The emotional (in)stability of parents is the most significant predictor of parental burnout in the parental role.
Compassion Fatigue and Burnout in Addiction Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Škovrlj Bruno , Glavak Tkalić Renata
Published: April 2024

The aim of this research was to determine the levels of compassion fatigue and burnout in addiction workers and to assess the possibility of prediction of the variance of those variables using mental health workers' work stressors and experienced stress due to changes in working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the moderating effect of compassion satisfaction in the relationship between work stressors and compassion fatigue was tested. 126 addiction workers (79,7 % women) participated in this research. The following instruments were used: Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, Professional Quality of Life Scale, Mental Health Professional Stress Scale, and Perceived Stress due to Changes in Working Conditions during the COVID-19 Pandemic Questionnaire, developed for the purpose of this study. Compassion fatigue (secondary traumatic stress (STS) and burnout) was determined by client-related difficulties, home-work conflict, relationship and conflicts with other professionals and organisational structure and processes. Burnout (OLBI) was determined by workload-related stress. Compassion satisfaction was found to have a moderating effect in the relationship between work stressors and compassion fatigue. Perceived stress due to changes in working conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic predicted both secondary traumatic stress and burnout (OLBI).
Morphological characterization of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum causing fruit rot of papaya and its management using biopesticides
Authors: Rafiq Rubina , Fatima Hira
Published: April 2024

Papaya is an important fruit crop and susceptible to several post-harvest diseases at every stage of its life cycle. Papaya fruit rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a serious postharvest disease that results in significant losses both in storage and on the market. Papaya fruit that was gathered from several Lahore fruit marketplaces was the subject of the studies. Based on physical and cultural traits, diseased papaya fruits were separated and identified. The virus developed mycelial colonies on PDA media that were sparse and creamy white. These colonies ultimately became fluffy and light brown. Sclerotia began to appear after three days of mycelial growth, and after seven days, they were fully visible in the shape of rings or distributed across the mycelial surface of the Petri plate. This allowed for the calculation of the frequency of isolated fungi. It was recorded maximum percentage of S. sclerotiorum (58%) was recorded followed by Alternaria alternata (21.5 %) and Aspergillus niger (10.0 %), while Penicillum spp. was least isolated fungi with a mean value of 5.00%. The assessment of different plant extracts including (Cascabela thevetia, Euphorbia milii, Moringa oleifera, Plumeria rubra, Quisqualis indica, Syzygium aromaticum) was done with Agar Well Diffusion Technique under CRD design. The findings showed that of the medicinal plants that were extracted using methanol and ethanol, Moringa oleifera and Syzygium aromaticum showed significant results at higher concentrations and showed maximum zone of inhibition while Cascabela thevetia was least effective against S. sclerotiorum.

La traducción como «restitución» durante el Estado Novo: el proyecto renacionalizador de João de Castro Osório
Authors: Gimeno Ugalde Esther
Published: April 2024

Este artículo analiza el posicionamiento de João de Castro Osório en relación con el papel que ocupan para la literatura portuguesa las obras de escritores lusos que adoptaron el castellano como lengua literaria. De inclinación nacionalista y vinculado al régimen salazarista, este intelectual portugués abordó dicha cuestión en varias publicaciones, especialmente en el Florilégio das Poesías Portuguesas Escritas em Castelhano e Restituidas à Língua Nacional (1942), obra con la que se propuso llevar a cabo una labor de «restitución» que consistía en la traducción al portugués de una selección de poemas escritos originalmente en lengua castellana. En el extenso estudio introductorio que precede a este florilegio, Osório defendió su decisión de «restituir» estos textos que, a su entender, estaban estrechamente ligados a Portugal y pertenecían a la literatura portuguesa pese a haberse escrito en castellano. Tras una breve introducción, este artículo se divide en dos partes: una primera dedicada al llamado «bilingüismo luso-español» y a la posición incómoda que los autores translingües de los siglos XV-XVII han ocupado en el modelo historiográfico «nacional», y una segunda que profundiza en la centralidad de la traducción para el proceso renacionalizador de Osório.
Xuan Bello, translator and author: his role in the development of the Asturian literature of “Surdimientu”
Authors: Dasca Maria
Published: April 2024

Xuan Bello is one of the best-known Asturian authors in the Iberian Peninsula. His work as a poet developed in parallel with his work as a translator, especially of Portuguese and Galician, two languages that have influenced his own literary production in Asturian. His dual role as author and translator is inseparable from its cultural context, characterized above all by Surdimientu, the movement to recover the Asturian language and culture launched in 1974. Indeed, Asturian literature can be seen as an emerging literature, supported by a group of agents who take on various functions inside the literary system. The aim of this article is to analyse the relationship between Bello’s poetry and prose with: 1) The role played by the author within the framework of Surdimientu, 2) The role played by his translations, and 3) The impact of the translations of his works in prose on the Catalan literary system.
Poetry of Spain published in Portugal in the 21st century: poets, translators, editors and “guardians”
Authors: Araújo Branco Isabel
Published: April 2024

In the study of the Portuguese polysystem, the relatively small number of Spanish literary works translated and published in Portugal stands out. In this article, we provide an overview of poetry titles published in Portugal compared to the global number of books published, and we analyse the profile of publishers that publish poetry in general and translated poetry in particular. Our analysis will focus on editions of translated poetry from the Spanish State in Portugal in the 21st century, namely by independent publishers. We seek to understand which authors and titles were published, and the objectives and forms adopted. We benefited from the collaboration of several editors, anthologists and translators who shared their experience and points of view in interviews. We will analyse the option of publishing bilingual anthologies in a significant part of the set of poetry from the Spanish State published in Portugal since the year 2000.
Gender sensitisation through course design thinking
Authors: De Marco Marcella
Published: April 2024

Translators’ training providers, including Higher Education (HE), play a big part in shaping the minds and behaviours of future translators. Therefore, translation courses must focus on implementing practices and resources which will enhance not only students’ linguistic and technical skills, but also cultural awareness, social responsibility, and ethical principles. Sexual/identity discourse is an area of critical enquiry which presents significant challenges that translators frequently do not seem to be able to handle due to their generally low level of gender understanding and sensitivity. This is where translators’ trainers need to take action. The current article – which collects the first findings of an in-progress educational project carried out at London Metropolitan University – suggests examples of activities and aspects to consider in curriculum design to create an effective framework which can ensure a more consistent embedding of gendersensitive policies in the curriculum of translation courses.

A coordenação pedagógica e o desenvolvimento profissional de professores no contexto pandêmico
Authors: Diniz Camila Castro , Moraes Lélia Cristina Silveira de
Published: April 2024

Este estudo objetiva analisar como se deu o desenvolvimento profissional de professores no contexto pandêmico junto à atuação do coordenador pedagógico, considerando como lócus de investigação as instituições públicas de educação infantil no município de São Luís, Maranhão. As discussões fazem parte de uma pesquisa empírica, mediante levantamento bibliográfico e documental e aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com duas coordenadoras pedagógicas atuantes nessa etapa de ensino. Para tanto, nos ancoramos em autores como: Domingues (2009, 2013); Garrido (2015), Santana (2020) etc. Dos resultados obtidos, verificou-se que o ensino remoto no período da pandemia causou grandes impactos na organização do trabalho pedagógico, principalmente em função do uso das tecnologias digitais. Mas, apesar de alguns pontos negativos, também suscitou a ampliação de conhecimentos em torno das ferramentas tecnológicas, assim como a união e a cooperação entre professores e coordenadores pedagógicos, que se tornaram importantes no desenvolvimento profissional desses docentes.

Authors: Braz Ayrana Rocha , Carvalho Anny Caroliny Castro , Soares Jandson de Oliveira , Pontes Alessandra Nascimento
Published: April 2024

Introdução: A motivação para a realização deste estudo, surgiu a partir da participação em um projeto sobre crianças com autismo. Um aumento nos casos de crianças diagnosticadas com transtorno do espectro do autismo (TEA) foi relatado em vários países. Este processo levanta muitas questões, desde os métodos de rastreio até à qualidade dos cuidados prestados pelos profissionais enfermeiros. Objetivo geral: o objetivo deste estudo é, descrever a atuação da enfermagem diante da criança com espectro autista. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de abordagem qualitativa e de cunho descritivo. Para tanto, foram utilizadas as seguintes bases de dados: Latino-Americana e Caribenha Banco de Dados de Literatura em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE) e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Foram selecionados artigos publicados no período de 5 anos. Resultados: Em uma amostra de 205 artigos encontrados. Após foram excluídos mais 76 artigos, pelo fato de não terem relação com o problema do trabalho, restando apenas 8 artigos. Discussão: Constatou-se que a enfermagem é um vetor importante para o progresso, no sentido da realização do direito à plena inclusão social da criança com TEA. Baseado nas evidências verificadas através das bibliografias consultadas nesse estudo, pode-se compreender que é necessário incluir as crianças com TEA nas políticas públicas de saúde, a partir das ações dos profissionais de enfermagem. Conclusão: Apesar dos avanços significativos na política de saúde voltada às pessoas com TEA, o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), ainda precisa superar muitos obstáculos, como as restrições orçamentárias, e com isso buscar investir mais nas políticas de saúde mental e priorizar os serviços comunitários em detrimento dos hospitais e postos de saúde psiquiátricos.

Authors: Monteiro Iasmin de Freitas , Monteiro Sheila Maria Portugal de Freitas
Published: April 2024

A alimentação ao longo da história humana sofreu diversas mudanças, como a domesticação de plantas. A transição de uma dieta diversificada para uma dependência limitada de espécies teve implicações significativas na segurança alimentar global. Como é o caso do Brasil, onde 125,2 milhões de pessoas vivem com alguma forma de insegurança alimentar. Neste cenário as Plantas Alimentícias Não Convencionais (PANC), se apresentam como uma das formas de combate à fome, em busca da soberania alimentar. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo fazer revisão acerca de trabalhos sobre plantas não convencionais na Amazônia e das espécies de PANC encontradas no estado do Pará. Além de verificar a distribuição geográfica das espécies já descritas, caracterizar essa produção nos últimos 23 anos e verificar a questão do gênero na produção de trabalhos sobre PANC. Durante a pesquisa foram encontrados 53 trabalhos que estudavam ou descreviam alguma espécie de PANC, na sua maioria sendo artigos científicos liderados por mulheres. Neles pode-se fazer o levantamento de 241 espécies no estado do Pará, tendo maior ocorrência a Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf (Capim Limão).

Application of alternative sources of energy resources: Economic aspects
Authors: Kaliakparova Gulnar , Gridneva Yelena , Parmanova Rimma , Kadyrova Korlan , Saurukova Ainura
Published: April 2024

The topic of research related to alternative energy sources is relevant, since with the constant growth of the population and the development of industry around the world, the demand for energy continues to increase, at a time when traditional energy sources (coal, oil, and gas) are limited and subject to exhaustion. Alternative energy sources offer new opportunities to meet the growing demand for energy, they can provide more stable prices and reduce dependence on energy imports, and do not emit greenhouse gases or pollute the environment. The purpose of this paper is to study the economic viability and potential of alternative energy sources in order to assess their impact on the economy and identify opportunities and challenges. Among the methods used, the analytical method, the statistical method, the functional method, the system analysis method, the deduction method, the synthesis method and the comparison method were applied. The study analysed financial mechanisms that promote the development of alternative energy sources, such as subsidies, tax incentives and investments in renewable energy sources. The effectiveness of these mechanisms and their impact on the development of the industry was studied. Special attention was paid to the economic risks associated with alternative energy sources, including the instability of prices for equipment and technologies, as well as changes in legislation and regulation. The current state and dynamics of the market for alternative energy sources were analysed, as well as the growth potential and the share of alternative energy sources in the overall energy system were determined. The positive impact of the use of alternative energy sources on the economy and society is assessed. The results obtained are of practical value and can be used to make decisions related to the use of alternative energy sources and improve this process at a new level.
Preschool teachers' perceptions of preschool education during Covid-19 in Greece: a diary-interview study
Authors: Chatzitheodorou Nantia
Published: April 2024

Preschools all around the world had recently been forced to adopt Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) as a means to encounter the Covid-19 pandemic. While online teaching and learning has already been employed in higher education for many years, this was the first time it had been implemented in preschool classrooms. The current study aimed to investigate preschool teachers’ experiences of formal education during the transition between ERT and face-to-face education in Greece. Teacher diaries were collected over a four-month period, followed by online interviews with the teachers. Both data sets were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Findings indicated that ERT had a short-term negative influence on children’s behaviour and eagerness to engage in interpersonal social interactions upon their return to preschool. Teachers further reported that the measures adopted by the Greek Government as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic had a negative impact on children’s learning, belonging, development and participation and failed to meet young children’s needs. The appropriateness of remote teaching as a mode of learning for preschoolers is discussed.

Published: April 2024

The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (Acari: Tetranychidae), represents a major threat to geothermal greenhouses in southern Tunisia, causing considerable damage to geothermal crops. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of new chemical acaricides against T. urticae infesting tomato crops under heated greenhouses: Cyflumetofen, Cinnamaldheyde, Fenazaquin, Pyridaben, Abamectin + Spinosad and Diafenthiuron. The results showed that all acaricides had a significant effect on the reduction of eggs and motile forms of T. urticae, although the reference treatment based on Diafenthiuron varied between 84.40% and 100%. In conclusion, this study highlights the efficacy of several acaricides in managing T. urticae populations, offering promising prospects for effective control of this mite in heated greenhouse crops.
Sexuality of people 60+ in care institutions - theoretical approach and directions for future research
Authors: Ferenc Klaudia , Żukowicz Olga
Published: April 2024

The article focuses on the sexuality of people aged 60+ in care institutions. We characterise the ageing process of this group in psychosexual and social terms. A review of the literature and legal documents concerning the functioning of the care system for older people, including both public and private social welfare homes, was presented. The analysis of previous Polish and foreign research allowed us to verify the extent to which the sexual rights of residents are respected. In addition, we pay attention to the substantive preparation of employees of 24-hour care facilities, especially in the case of unwanted sexual behaviour. We also consider the situation of older non-heteronormative people and the possibility of their sexual expression within the framework of formal long-term care. We identify four areas of future research: (1) comparative analysis of 24-hour public and private facilities in terms of respecting residents’ rights to privacy and intimacy; (2) examining how the provisions in legal acts are understood and implemented by employees of care institutions in the context of working with sexuality; (3) getting to know the competence of employees to plan interventions and support in the area of residents’ sexuality, as well as checking whether the C. Archibald (1994) model of action can be applied in Polish institutions; (4) describing the functioning of elderly non-heterosexual people in nursing homes.
Social work: From the settlements and a casework to the theories of ecosocial work
Authors: Szmagalski Jerzy
Published: April 2024

The article presents some threads of the debate over the search for a theory of human-environment relationships for social work practice from the dawn of this work at the end of the 19th century to today, that is, from the holistic through individualistic, and psychosocial concepts to the paradigm of ecosocial work from the perspective of threats of a global catastrophe. As the examples of approaches to that paradigm green social work developed by L. Dominelli, slow social work by V. Bozalek and social work as sensitive public pedagogy by M. Mendel are presented. The issue of finding effective relationship of social ecopractice to the controversial strategies of sustainable development versus degrowth on a global scale is also highlighted. The article also includes suggestions for expanding knowledge about the theories and practice of ecosocial work, referring to specific texts available in open access on the Internet. The conclusion of the article includes an indication of some barriers to overcome for an introduction the ecosocial work theories into practice.
The effect of heat input on tensile strength, Vickers hardness, and microstructure on DMW of AISI 1015 and 304L SS through the GMAW process
Authors: Riswanda R. , Akhyar A. , Kadir H. , Sugianto S. , Saragih A.D.
Published: April 2024

This experiment was to evaluate the effect of heat input on tensile strength, Vickers hardness, and microstructural observations.The materials welded are AISI 1015 and 304L SS, and the joining process is Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). The filler electrode used is ER70S-6 with a diameter of 1.2 mm, and the workpiece size is 300 x 125 x 3 mm with a butt-joint connection. The variations in welding current applied are 120, 130, and 140 A. Meanwhile, the voltage and welding speed in the experiment were kept constant.The maximum tensile test index was 380.08 MPa, and the Vickers hardness index was 376.85 HV, with the maximum heat input being 0.5943 kJ/mm. The macro- and microstructure, as well as structural inspection of the welded joints, were observed in the experiment. The best heat input effect for the DMW technique between 304L SS and AISI 1015 is 0.5943 kJ/mm at a plate thickness of 3 mm.Dissimilar Metal Welding (DMW) is widely applied in the power generation industry. Materials generally joined using the DMW technique are austenitic stainless steel (304L SS) and low carbon steel (AISI 1015).Using the proposed heat input approach is important for the dissimilar welding industry application to obtain the right product for its expected use.This paper presents the differences in heat input to reveal the weld properties by dissimilar welding processes, where the properties will be adapted for a particular use. Particularly in the application of dissimilar joints between 304L SS and AISI 1015 with a thickness of 3 mm, which requires an average tensile strength of around 380.08 MPa and an average yield strength of about 320.16 MPa, the heat input parameter can be recommended as 0.5943 kJ/mm.
Beyond anesthesia. Uses and actions of ketamine
Authors: Hunt Mark
Published: April 2024

Ketamine, first synthesized over six decades ago, continues to interest clinicians and fundamental researchers due to its multifaceted applications and complex mechanisms of action on the brain. This review synthesizes clinical and select preclinical studies to provide a broad overview of ketamine’s clinical uses, with a particular focus on its expanding role in psychiatry. Despite its longstanding presence in the medical field, precisely how ketamine’s effects on brain activity produce clinical benefit remains poorly understood. The review begins with a brief historical account of ketamine’s discovery and its evolution as an anesthetic and analgesic, setting the stage for its more recent advances and applications in treating psychiatric disorders. This review highlights a growing body of evidence supporting ketamine’s use for certain psychiatric diseases, such as major depressive disorder, underscoring the drug’s potential for reshaping therapeutic strategies. However, it also points to a significant gap in our understanding, for example, whether particular neurobiological mechanisms underscore ketamine’s beneficial effects. This review emphasizes the need for a cautious yet optimistic approach to integrating ketamine into clinical practice, balanced by the need to investigate its core neurobiological effects further.

Published: April 2024

Introducción: la oxitocina es una hormona que se encuentra conformada por 9 aminoácidos y conlleva efectos a nivel periférico central.
Objetivo: analizar el mecanismo fisiológico de la oxitocina en el comportamiento humano y las emociones
Métodos: se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura a través de diversas bases de datos, para ello fueron contempladas las directrices del método PRISMA.
Resultados: Inicialmente, fueron identificados 319 artículos, siendo seleccionados y analizados 9 publicaciones. Los artículos presentan evidencia científica del impacto positivo de la oxitocina en el comportamiento y emociones en seres humanos.
Conclusiones: la oxitocina regula el eje hipotálamo-pituitario-suprarrenal, conlleva reducción en el nivel de cortisol, activación del nervio vago, y modulación de la amígdala, corteza prefrontal y sistemas de neurotransmisores. El efecto de la oxitocina en el comportamiento humano y las emociones engloba el establecimiento de vínculos sociales, promueve el acercamiento social, influye de forma positiva en la cognición social y comportamiento social al fomentar el altruismo y la generosidad, además incrementa las interacciones sociales y favorece la autoconfianza y la estabilidad de las relaciones emocionales. Por otra parte, mejora la empatía mostrada por el individuo y la expresión de emociones, regula la respuesta ante el peligro o situaciones amenazantes y el estrés, al tiempo que los estudios demuestran resultados prometedores en la terapéutica de diversos trastornos psiquiátricos como la esquizofrenia, el autismo, la ansiedad y el estrés.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue desarrollar un plan de mantenimiento basado en la confiabilidad para equipos de autoclave en la industria pesquera. Se llevó a cabo una investigación de tipo aplicada con un enfoque no experimental, se aplicaron múltiples métodos, entre ellos la observación directa, el análisis sistémico, el enfoque analítico-sintético y la investigación histórica-lógica, con el fin de identificar las condiciones de operación de los autoclaves. La metodología RCM se utilizó para definir funciones y estándares de desempeño, identificar fallas funcionales, modos de falla, efectos de las fallas y sus consecuencias, así como establecer tareas preventivas. Los principales hallazgos revelaron que el subsistema de sellado presenta la mayor incidencia de fallas, seguido por la cámara de esterilización de los autoclaves. En respuesta, se diseñó un plan de mantenimiento que incluye acciones como inspecciones regulares, limpieza meticulosa, aplicación de lubricantes apropiados, pruebas funcionales exhaustivas y reemplazo o reparación oportuna de componentes según sea necesario. Se concluye que, el plan de mantenimiento desarrollado representa un avance significativo hacia la gestión proactiva de activos y la mejora del desempeño operativo, facilitando la adopción de medidas correctivas oportunas para minimizar los tiempos de inactividad no planificados y fortalecer la capacidad de la industria para cumplir con los estándares de producción.
Principio de proporcionalidad en procedimientos sancionatorios en la Ley Orgánica de la Salud
Authors: Ruiz-Bautista José Antonio , Mero-Quiñonez Marjorie Cecibel
Published: April 2024

El principio de proporcionalidad en el derecho administrativo es esencial para asegurar que las sanciones impuestas por la administración pública sean justas y equilibradas, ajustándose de manera adecuada, necesaria y proporcionada a la gravedad de la infracción cometida. Esto evita cualquier medida excesiva o injustificada que pueda perjudicar los derechos de los ciudadanos. La problemática de la investigación es la ausencia de parámetros de proporcionalidad en las infraccione de multas en la Ley Orgánica de Salud y su afectación al derecho al debido proceso en la garantía de proporcionalidad. El objetivo de la investigación es analizar cómo la falta de criterios de proporcionalidad en las multas establecidas por la Ley Orgánica de Salud afecta el derecho al debido proceso y la garantía de proporcionalidad de los ciudadanos frente a las decisiones de las autoridades administrativas, con el fin de asegurar un equilibrio justo en dichas decisiones. La metodología de la investigación es bibliográfica-deductiva. Las conclusiones son que la norma no determina parámetros de proporcionalidad en las sanciones y por lo tanto es contrario a la norma prevista en el artículo 76 numeral 6 de la Constitución del Ecuador.

Os hemangiomas cavernosos adrenais são tumores benignos raros que surgem do revestimento endotelial do córtex adrenal. São mais frequentes em mulheres, sendo a idade média de seu diagnóstico aos 60 anos. A maioria dos casos é unilateral, sem preferência por lado. A maior parte dos casos são assintomáticos, e quando sintomáticos, o quadro clínico é vago. Com o maior uso de ultrassonografia, tomografia computadorizada e ressonância magnética houve um aumento na descoberta desses tumores. Na tomografia computadorizada, apresenta-se como uma massa, encapsulada e heterogênea,com calcificações dispersas. O tratamento cirúrgico é preconizado para a maioria das massas, sendo seu diagnóstico definitivo pela histopatologia após a adrenalectomia.

Published: April 2024

O presente artigo tem a finalidade de apresentar uma análise comparativa entre a realidade e os processos existentes de política pública, a partir da implementação da Educação Superior a Distância no Brasil (EAD Superior) como modalidade de ensino. Embora estabelecida pela Lei nº 9394/96 do Ministério da Educação (MEC), essa modalidade somente foi regulamentada pelo Decreto nº 2.494 de 1998, que por sua vez fora revogado pelo Decreto nº 5.622 de 2005, rescindido pelo Decreto nº 9.057 de 2017, atualmente em vigor. No entanto, apenas a partir do Decreto nº 5.622 de 2005, em seu Art. 2º, evidencia-se a abrangência para todos os níveis e programas, incluindo a EAD Superior, que alcançou proporções de extensão muito mais alargadas que a oferta presencial. Dessa forma, este estudo trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, por meio de diversas fontes, as quais serviram como suporte para a construção desse trabalho. Dentre os documentos que o embasaram cabe ressaltar, além dos supracitados, os relatórios dos Censos da Educação Superior 2008 e 2019, entre outros materiais que contribuíram de forma enriquecedora para a compreensão dos argumentos levantados durante a revisão bibliográfica integrativa de nível exploratório. Os resultados da pesquisa permitiram concluir que essa modalidade de ensino vem proporcionando, de maneira significativa, a ampliação da oferta de vagas no ensino superior e, consequentemente, a democratização do acesso, principalmente nas instituições privadas, almejando cumprir o propósito enquanto política pública.
ՍԱՀՄԱՆԱԴՐՈՒԹՅՈՒՆԸ ԵՎ ՍԱՀՄԱՆԱԴՐԱԿԱՆՈՒԹՅՈՒՆԸ

The article presents the concept and essence of the constitution and constitutionalism. The purpose of the article is to show the historical genealogy and development of the constitution and constitutionalism, the role and significance in the life of the state and society by the method of legal comparative analysis. The purpose predetermined the setting of the following tasks:
a. to reveal the concept, essence and content features of the constitution and constitutionalism,
b. to conduct a brief analysis of the components of constitutionalism,
c. to define the concept of actual and legal constitutions,
d. to present the features of the procedure for the development, adoption and amendment, as well as the subject of regulation of the Basic Law.
The author, using a systematic methodology, subjected the historical and legal concept and meaning of two closely interconnected terms to research analysis.
We came to the conclusion that the Constitution is not only the fundamental law of the state, but also a kind of pact between the rulers and the ruled on the recognition of the rights and obligations of each other, and also fixes the foundations of the constitutional order of society and the state, the legal status of citizens, that is, the basis of society, on which everything else is established. The constitution establishes the structure of the state, the form of government, the political regime, the foundations of the legal status of individuals, the foundations of foreign and domestic policy. Constitutionalism is the perception of the norms and values enshrined in the Constitution of a given state by society, the application of these values in life, the manifestation of the corresponding will of state authorities in the application and provision of enshrined norms and values.

Introduction: occupational and recreational activities are the most important causes of exposure to solar radiation, the cumulative effect of which could lead to the development of skin cancer.Objective: determine dermatological injuries associated with sun protection among outdoor workers in the Provincial Municipality of Huánuco in 2023.Methods: an analytical observational study of a census nature was carried out. The instrument used was validated through five expert evaluations, obtaining a Kappa index of 0,94. The reliability of the instrument was evaluated using the α-Cronbach coefficient of 0,68 and Kuder-Richardson 20 of 0,69. The sample included 300 subjects. The techniques used were behavioral observation, interviews and surveys. The statistical analysis consisted of the use of Chi2.Results: a statistically significant association (p < 0,05) was found between sociodemographic variables, hours of sun exposure, and sun protection practices. However, there was no association between dermatological injuries and sun protection practices in workers exposed and not exposed to solar radiation (p > 0,05).Conclusion: dermatological injuries were observed due to solar radiation exposure in both groups, including those engaged in outdoor activities and those with minimal sun exposure
