PROGRAMA DE INTERVENÇÃO RECONSTRUINDO AS EMOÇÕES NA PARENTALIDADE
Authors: Mayr de Lima Carvalho Daniela
Published: June 2024

Embora a escola ainda não tenha sido devidamente explorada para este fim, estudos recentes vêm evidenciando a importância dos programas de inteligência emocional para os pais neste ambiente, visando o desenvolvimento das competências emocionais na família. Por meio de um programa de intervenção em inteligência emocional de sete sessões semanais, pretendeu-se verificar a eficácia da partilha social das emoções, do mindfulness e das emoções positivas no desenvolvimento das competências emocionais dos pais. O programa Reconstruindo as Emoções na Parentalidade utilizou a metodologia de investigação quase-experimental, em função da não aleatorização da amostra. A amostra de conveniência foi recolhida presencialmente em resposta a 6 questionários, composta por 62 participantes, 36 (58%) pertencentes ao grupo experimental e o restante, 26 (42%) ao grupo controle. 100% dos participantes são portugueses. Os resultados revelam que houve aumento das competências emocionais, particularmente na capacidade de lidar com as emoções. Quanto à interação familiar, ocorreu um aumento do estilo parental autoritativo e uma maior coesão familiar. No que diz respeito às expectativas parentais, houve também um aumento desta variável. Os benefícios retirados da partilha social das emoções também apresentaram um valor maior.
O CORPO EM EDIÇÃO: A CULTURA DO CONSUMO E AS INTERVENÇÕES ESTÉTICAS
Authors: Dos Santos Teixeira Felipe
Published: June 2024

Com o crescente aumento no número de intervenções estéticas realizadas no Brasil, é possível notar que o corpo ganha um destaque cada vez maior na nossa sociedade. O consumismo está presente não só na busca desenfreada de aquisição de objetos e bens, mas também por meio do nosso próprio corpo, sendo possível alterá-lo conforme as novas tendências mostradas na mídia e nas redes sociais. Por meio das novas técnicas e tecnologias desenvolvidas pela biomedicina, modificar o corpo através de cirurgias se tornou uma prática cada vez mais comum. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a influência e o papel da cultura do consumo, da mídia e das redes sociais na procura por edições corporais. Para isso, foram levantados dados sobre o número de cirurgias plásticas no Brasil e no mundo, e realizado um debate com autores que abordam questões sobre o corpo na história e na contemporaneidade. Conclui-se que a cultura consumista proveniente do capitalismo, além das redes sociais e das mídias de comunicação, possui uma forte influência sobre a procura de sujeitos por intervenções estéticas, banalizando essa prática e não estabelecendo conscientização sobre a necessidade, os riscos e as possibilidades de arrependimento.

Introduction: Dislocations of the knee joint represent very rare injuries in the literature, accounting for less than 0.02% of all musculoskeletal injuries. Case report: This report describes a patient suffered a knee joint dislocation of the knee joint caused by a low impact injury following a stumbling trauma during volunteer of a sport competition. Anterior knee joint dislocation with incipient compartment syndrome was clinically prognosed. Vascular and nerve injuries were radiologically examined. Taken together the injury was classified as Schenck type IV CN, and surgical management of the current knowledge was pursued. A satisfying range of motion was examined during surgery next to solid vascular und nerve conditions post-surgery. Conclusion: In case of severe knee joint dislocations, the current standard of a closed reduction with subsequent diagnostic is recommended. Compartment syndrome, nerve, and vascular tears indicate emergency surgery. Keywords:Knee dislocation, compartment syndrome, knee joint, dislocation, trauma surgery, tibiofemoral dislocation.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) or Buerger’s disease (BD) is a small and medium-sized arteriovenous segmental occlusive inflammatory disease frequently occurring in men as compared to women. Although a common etiological agent is smoking or tobacco consumption, it has also been reported infrequently in non-smokers. Except for smoking other etiological agents, HLA, autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, and periodontitis have also been suggested. Minimally invasive pain and spine intervention (MIPSI) like stellate ganglion neurolysis with 8% phenol, 10 days apart in patients suffering from bilateral digital ischemia of both hands is a safe and effective treatment. Case Report: Fifty-five-year-old female with chief complaints of burning pain, swelling, and blackening of all five fingers of the right and four fingers of the left hands excluding the thumb for the past 3 months. On examination, pulse was almost absent at the wrist in both hands. There was no history of smoking. Under aseptic precautions, fluoroscopy and radiocontrast guidance stellate ganglion neurolysis with a 22G spinal needle, 2 ml of 8% phenol, 2 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine and 4 mg of dexamethasone were given at C7 vertebral level 10 days apart on both sides. After 3-4 months of stellate ganglion phenol chemical neurolysis, involved fingers were saved except the gangrenous part which was autoamputated itself in due course of time. Conclusion: Bilateral interval (10 days apart) chemical neurolysis of stellate ganglion in Buerger’s disease involving both hands is a safe and effective technique in terms of control of disease progression, pain, cardiac complications, and recurrent laryngeal nerve-related complications. Keywords: Buerger’s disease bilateral hands, phenol chemical neurolysis, stellate ganglion neurolysis.
The British Book Society and the American Book-of-the-Month Club, 1929–1949: Joint Choices and Transatlantic Connections
Authors: Wilson Nicola
Published: June 2024

Abstract: This article explores the previously overlooked transatlantic dimensions to the operations and cultures of reading of the American Book-of-the-month club (BOMC) and the British Book Society between 1929–49. These two book sales clubs were major distributors of new books to wide audiences through the mid-twentieth century, disrupting previous patterns of consumption, with a significant impact on book sales and global distribution. Drawing on extensive new archival research, this essay shows how the clubs were part of a broader transatlantic print culture of distribution and reading. Using little-known archival evidence of exchanges among authors, judges, publishers, and texts—as well as new quantitative data parsing book choices and recommendations—it demonstrates how the BOMC and the Book Society were part of a transatlantic publishing ecosystem that shaped interwar and mid-twentieth century reading patterns across the Atlantic and wider Anglophone world. As such, it is the first research to offer a comparative, transatlantic examination of two major Anglophone book distributors that revolutionised how we read and think about books.
"A Person Like Me": Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, Gender, and Racial Immunity in the Twentieth-Century United States
Authors: Winstead Mike
Published: June 2024

abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder that affects mostly women and disproportionately Black women. Until the 1940s, SLE was rarely diagnosed in Black Americans, reflecting racist medical beliefs about Black immunity. In the 1940s and 1950s, SLE and its treatment were part of a patriarchal narrative of American industrialization. By the 1960s, newer diagnostic techniques increased recognition of SLE, especially among Black women; medical thinking about SLE shifted from external causes like infection or allergy to autoimmunity, which emphasized biological, genetically determined racial difference. In the 1970s and 1980s, an advocacy structure crystalized around memoirs by women with SLE, which emphasized the experiences of able-bodied, economically privileged white women, while Black feminist health discourse and SLE narratives by Black authors grappled with SLE's more complicated intersections. Throughout the twentieth century, SLE embodied immunity as a gendered, racialized, and culturally invested process.

Published: June 2024

We present a realization of a magnetic sensor based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonances observed in hot Rb vapor using lin$\parallel$lin polarized dichromatic light and evaluate scalar and vector capabilities of the sensor for measuring Earth-like magnetic fields. We demonstrate scalar measurement sensitivity of 2 pT/Hz^1/2 in the 1-100~Hz spectral frequency band using a cm^3 Rb vapor cell, significantly
improving the performance for such a configuration if compared with earlier measurements of large magnetic fields. By using a single linearly polarized dichromatic optical field, we are also able to determine the direction of the magnetic field with respect to the light propagation direction and polarization, taking advantage of the symmetries of the interaction scheme. We accomplish that by combining the polarization-sensitive transmission measurements and sparse sensing machine learning techniques. A path for further improvement of the sensitivity and elimination of systematic effects, such as heading error, is discussed.
Effect of tetanic stimulation prior to train-of-four monitoring on the time to muscle response stabilization with neuromuscular blockade with rocuronium in patients aged 60 to 80 years: A prospective randomized controlled trial
Authors: Henrique Silva Ribeiro Angela , Verçosa Nubia , Braga Estêvão Luiz Carvalho , Micuci Angelo Jorge Queiroz Rangel , Germano-Filho Paulo Alípio , Cavalcanti Ismar Lima
Published: June 2024

Purpose

To determine the effect of tetanic stimulation on the time to achieve stabilization of the T1 height, by acceleromyography train-of-four (TOF) ratio monitoring, in patients aged 60 to 80 years.

Methods

Randomized, prospective, single-blind, controlled trial in patients aged 60 to 80 years undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia in two university hospitals in Brazil between December 2019 and March 2022. This trial was performed in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration and the guidelines for good clinical research practice in pharmacodynamic studies of neuromuscular blocking agents II. Participants were randomly allocated by computer-generated numbers to receive tetanic stimulation (intervention group, n  =  25) or not receive tetanic stimulation (control group, n  =  25) to achieve T1 height stabilization on TOF ratio monitoring. The primary endpoint was to evaluate the effect of tetanic stimulation on the time to achieve stabilization of the T1 height. We also evaluated the effect on the onset time of rocuronium and time to recover from neuromuscular blockade with a single dose of rocuronium 0.6 mg.kg-1 with spontaneous recovery.

Results

There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in the time to T1 height stabilization (intervention: 4.3 [2.0–8.0] min; control: 5.8 [2.0–10.5] min; p  =  0.202), onset time of the neuromuscular blocking agent (intervention: 1.9 [±0.7] min; control: 2.2 [±1.0] min; p  =  0.219), or neuromuscular blockade recovery times to normalized TOF values of 0.7 (intervention: 106.1 [±37.2] min; control: 91.7 [±27.5] min; p  =  0.295), 0.8 (intervention: 114.3 [±40.1] min; control: 97.8 [±28.9] min; p  =  0.225), 0.9 (intervention: 126.5 [±44.0] min; control: 106.9 [±30.6] min; p  =  0.153), and 1.0 (intervention: 138.3 [±43.4] min; control: 123.8 [±43.5] min; p  =  0.425).

Conclusion

The results of this study suggest that the recommendation to use tetanic stimulation to shorten the time to T1 height stabilization in neuromuscular monitoring did not alter the stabilization time of the T1 twitch or the pharmacodynamics of neuromuscular blockade with rocuronium in patients aged 60 to 80 years.
Differentiation, adaptation, and perseverance: Maturing conceptualizations of education-focused science faculty in the United States
Authors: Bush Seth D. , Stevens Michael T. , Tanner Kimberly D. , Williams Kathy S.
Published: June 2024

Science education reform has been underway for almost a century with the general aim to engage students and train scientists needed to find solutions to global challenges, and also ensure a general public well disposed towards science. In an effort to aid science reform, more recently, colleges and universities have been augmenting their academic workforce by embedding education-focused science faculty into science departments. However, little research has investigated how this approach, and the identity of these faculty, may be changing over time. Here we investigate how conceptualizations of professional identities of these faculty across the United States have changed over the last two decades. We found three professional identities amongst these faculty: Science Faculty with Education Specialties (SFES), Discipline-Based Education Researchers (DBER), and faculty who identify as both SFES and DBER. Evidence indicates this is a maturing field within higher-education science departments, with more direct hiring and training pathways, but with potentially diminishing agency. Finally, data reveal resilience and perseverance despite negative biases from peers and college administrators, especially at PhD-granting institutions.
Diazepam inhibits LPS-induced pyroptosis and inflammation and alleviates pulmonary fibrosis in mice by regulating the let-7a-5p/MYD88 axis
Authors: Song Duanyi , Tang Xuefang , Du Juan , Tao Kang , Li Yun
Published: June 2024

Background and objective

Pulmonary fibrosis caused by lung injury is accompanied by varying degrees of inflammation, and diazepam can reduce the levels of inflammatory factors. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine whether diazepam can inhibit inflammation and ameliorate pulmonary fibrosis by regulating the let-7a-5p/myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MYD88) axis.

Methods

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to induce cell pyroptosis in an animal model of pulmonary fibrosis. After treatment with diazepam, changes in cell proliferation and apoptosis were observed, and the occurrence of inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis in the mice was detected.

Results

The results showed that LPS can successfully induce cell pyroptosis and inflammatory responses and cause lung fibrosis in mice. Diazepam inhibits the expression of pyroptosis-related factors and inflammatory factors; moreover, it attenuates the occurrence of pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Mechanistically, diazepam can upregulate the expression of let-7a-5p, inhibit the expression of MYD88, and reduce inflammation and inhibit pulmonary fibrosis by regulating the let-7a-5p/MYD88 axis.

Conclusion

Our findings indicated that diazepam can inhibit LPS-induced pyroptosis and inflammatory responses and alleviate pulmonary fibrosis in mice by regulating the let-7a-5p/MYD88 axis.
Reinterpretation of the results of randomized clinical trials
Authors: Habibzadeh Farrokh
Published: June 2024

Background

Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) shape our clinical practice. Several studies report a mediocre replicability rate of the studied RCTs. Many researchers believe that the relatively low replication rate of RCTs is attributed to the high p value significance threshold. To solve this problem, some researchers proposed using a lower threshold, which is inevitably associated with a decrease in the study power.

Methods

The results of 22 500 RCTs retrieved from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) were reinterpreted using 2 fixed p significance threshold (0.05 and 0.005), and a recently proposed flexible threshold that minimizes the weighted sum of errors in statistical inference.

Results

With p < 0.05 criterion, 28.5% of RCTs were significant; p < 0.005, 14.2%; and p < flexible threshold, 9.9% (2/3 of significant RCTs based on p < 0.05 criterion, were found not significant). Lowering the p cut-off, although decreases the false-positive rate, is not generally associated with a lower weighted sum of errors; the false-negative rate increases (the study power decreases); important treatments may be left undiscovered. Accurate calculation of the optimal p value thresholds needs knowledge of the variance in each study arm, a posteriori.

Conclusions

Lowering the p value threshold, as it is proposed by some researchers, is not reasonable as it might be associated with an increase in false-negative rate. Using a flexible p significance threshold approach, although results in a minimum error in statistical inference, might not be good enough too because only a rough estimation may be calculated a priori; the data necessary for the precise computation of the most appropriate p significance threshold are only available a posteriori. Frequentist statistical framework has an inherent conflict. Alternative methods, say Bayesian methods, although not perfect, would be more appropriate for the data analysis of RCTs.
Changes in muscle activation with graded surfaces during canter in Thoroughbred horses on a treadmill
Authors: Takahashi Yuji , Takahashi Toshiyuki , Mukai Kazutaka , Ebisuda Yusaku , Ohmura Hajime
Published: June 2024

Understanding how muscle activity changes with different surface grades during canter is essential for developing training protocols in Thoroughbreds because canter is their primary gait in training and races. We measured the spatiotemporal parameters and the activation of 12 surface muscles in the leading limb side of 7 Thoroughbreds. Horses were equipped with hoof strain gauges and cantered at 10 m/s on a treadmill set to grades of −4%, 0%, 4%, and 8%, randomly, for 30 seconds each without a lead change. Integrated electromyography (iEMG) values during stance and swing phases were calculated and normalized to mean iEMG values during stride duration at 0% grade in each muscle. The iEMG values at each grade were compared using a generalized mixed model. Stride duration significantly decreased due to shorter swing duration on an 8% grade (P < 0.001) compared to all other grades, where no significant changes were observed. Compared to a 0% grade, the normalized iEMG values during the stance phase on an 8% grade in five muscles significantly increased (Musculus infraspinatus; +9%, M. longissimus dorsi (LD); +4%, M. gluteus medius (GM); +29%, M. biceps femoris; +47%, M. flexor digitorum lateralis; +16%). During the swing phase, the normalized iEMG values in six muscles significantly increased on an 8% grade compared to a 0% grade (M. splenius; +21%, M. triceps brachii; +54%, LD; +37%, GM; +24%, M. semitendinosus; +51%, M. extensor digitorum longus; +10%). No significant changes were observed in iEMG values on −4% and 4% grades compared to the 0% grade. Although +/− 4% grades had little effect on neuromuscular responses, 8% uphill canter reduced stride duration due to decreased swing duration and required increase of muscle activation during either stance and swing phase. Canter on an 8% grade might strengthen equine muscles to increase propulsive force and stride frequency.

Photography, capitalism and empire: A case study of the Handbook of Fiji
Authors: Quanchi Max
Published: June 2024

Photographically illustrated handbooks became popular in the 1890s and supplemented the official Annual Reports and Blue Books. Handbooks were both an instrument of propaganda and a prospectus for potential investors and settlers and served a documentary purpose by providing a glimpse of a colony’s natural resources, economy, European life and Indigenous peoples. The handbook phenomenon, globally, has been largely overlooked by historians, despite adding to the complex archive generated by mid-century colonies. This article analyses the way photographs operated in the handbooks, particularly the inclusions and omissions in the many editions and reprints in the 1924–43 period, to provide insights into the ways a British colony – Fiji – was being remade and reshaped by capitalism and colonialism.
Photography of indenture
Authors: Shamriz Lior
Published: June 2024

The 1882 photography book by British photographer Colonel Henry Stuart Wortley, Tahiti: A Series of Photographs, features an image of a family of service workers. Wortley, who only briefly passed through the island, refers to the couple in the photograph as his ‘servants’. This article traces the margins of the journey of Wortley, as well as that of Lady Annie Brassey, an ultra-wealthy traveller and photography enthusiast who visited Tahiti in 1876 and who contributed the letterpress to Wortley’s book. By analysing the text and images of the book and looking at the historical context of Tahiti at that time, and the place European military personnel, travellers, entrepreneurs, royals and local workers had in the island’s economy and society, this article argues for the incentives and implications of trivializing and invisiblizing Tahitian labour. Looking at our engagement with a photograph as a transtemporal performance, beginning in the photograph’s commission, through the moment of encounter and until its printing and viewing years later, this article considers as a beginning of an entanglement the encounter between Wortley and the Tahitian family. I discuss how, by travelling in 2022 to Tahiti and revisiting Wortley’s photographs in different locations around the island, I aimed to influence those entanglements.

Historical photographs from the Pacific produced by non-Indigenous subjects often reflect the perspectives, biases and agendas of the photographers and the societies they represented. By critically analysing these images and the contexts in which they were produced, researchers can gain a deeper understanding of the nuanced dynamics of cultural exchange, negotiation and (potentially) resistance that characterized interactions between Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous visitors in the Pacific. Nevertheless, much of the scholarship on photography in the Pacific has been produced by settler-colonial scholars, and too often remains focused on the photographers themselves. This volume seeks to make a contribution to extant knowledge of photography in the Pacific through four articles and one report that centre Indigenous history, foreground the work of emerging scholars and highlight newly discovered collections of photographs.

Published: June 2024

The article examines the problems of waste generation and accumulation in the Republic and by regions. It also examines the dynamics of the number of stationary sources of pollution, the volume of emissions into the atmosphere, including emissions of solid waste, etc. For an accurate study, we have selected indicators from 2005 to 2022 in the Abai region. Regression coefficients and the influencing variables of the number of factors were chosen as the initial data for the regression linearity model. Identify the key issues of the Bay area from the perspective of state ecology. The vast majority of solid waste on the Abad Region's territory is industrial waste, consisting of waste from mining operations, as well as ash and slag. The annual level of waste generation from production and consumption in the region continues to be high. Based on the findings of the regression analysis, we recommend a number of measures for the industry: bringing the waste management sector into line with green principles through careful control, overspending on waste management funding, reducing emissions, reducing energy consumption in the public sector, reducing the amount of clean water used in industry, recycling high-quality waste, and disposing of solid waste properly, modernizing and constructing new landfills for solid waste. These and other gaps in environmental legislation and environmental policy documents need to be eliminated in the near future in order to achieve a significant reduction in the accumulation of production and consumption waste.

The war conditions are forcing Ukrainian wood processing companies to review their strategies and identify new opportunities in international markets. It is important to develop business regardless of the circumstances: to be able to adapt to any conditions, whether it is a lack of resources or limited opportunities. The key aspect now is to create sustainable strategies that will allow Ukrainian companies to be flexible and competitive in international markets, strengthening their position regardless of the circumstances.
Sustainable strategies for wood processing companies in international markets are becoming a key success factor in the conditions of modern globalization. The use of digital tools can help improve the efficiency of Ukrainian wood processing companies and provide them with competitive advantages. Digital tools allow for collecting and analyzing large amounts of data about the audience, competitors, and the market in general, which helps to understand consumer needs better, predict market trends, and adapt strategies accordingly. Digital tools also help to improve communication between wood processing companies and international partners and increase interaction with them.
The study confirmed that collecting and analyzing data on potential customers and their requirements is a key step in entering new international markets. Modern digital tools greatly simplify this process, enabling fast and efficient collection, analysis, and interpretation of large amounts of data. They can provide useful insights into consumer behavior, preferences, and demand for certain goods and services. These digital tools have made it possible to process large amounts of data to prepare Ukrainian forestry enterprises for international markets. International marketing research is crucial for the successful development of an enterprise's strategy at the international level.
The markets of Poland, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Ukraine were analyzed to compare various indicators. The expert evaluation was used to calculate the scores for each market, which allowed us to determine which ones are the most attractive for Ukrainian companies specializing in wood processing and creating added value in the domestic market. The study showed that in the current environment, it is possible to increase exports of product subgroups "4407 Timber", "4408 Cladding sheets" and "4415 Cases, boxes" to the markets of Germany, Austria, and Italy. This will help many Ukrainian enterprises to resume their business activity during the second year of the war and in the post-war period.

This research study comprehends the phenomenon of the precariat and emphasizes the core issues surrounding multicontextual discourse. It examines the distinction between the precariat and the underclass, substantiates the use of the concept of “precariat” to describe a social group experiencing anomie. The study delves into the main forms of political struggle undertaken by the precariat, with particular attention to the alternative forms of political group organization and the latest means of protest employed. Furthermore, the authors highlight the potential impact of the precariat on the shadow economy or informal sector within the country. The research explores how the dynamic and diverse work situations of the precariat, often outside traditional labor laws and regulations, could contribute to the growth of informal work arrangements and activities. This consideration adds an important dimension to understanding the precariat’s role in contemporary society. The research explores the role of cities in addressing precariat vulnerabilities through formalization incentives, social security access, localized policies to uplift marginalized groups. Successful municipal programs can prevent growth of the shadow economy while promoting sustainable and inclusive development.  Moreover, the research study addresses the futurological prospects of the precariat issue in society at large. It also proposes directions for further investigation aimed at overcoming the negative trends associated with the precariatization of modern society, offering valuable insights into potential policy measures to address the concerns and vulnerabilities of the precariat in today’s rapidly changing world.

Published: June 2024

This study investigates how human resource practices, specifically focusing on ability, motivation, and opportunity practices, effect employee engagement in the Malaysian context. The research involved surveying 154 employees in the service sector in the Klang Valley, Malaysia. Structural equation modelling was utilized for data analysis. Drawing from the Ability, Motivation, and Opportunity (AMO) theory, the results indicate that intrinsic motivation and opportunity practices significantly enhance employee engagement. However, practices related to ability and extrinsic motivation show no effect. The findings suggest that leaders should prioritize offering skill development opportunities and attractive rewards to encourage active employee engagement. Moreover, human resource policies and procedures should align with these objectives to enhance the value of human capital, achieve organizational objectives, and enhance employee well-being.

System Design for Solid Waste Reuse: Fostering Sustainable Urbanism through the ReUseLink system
Authors: Kedar Ori , Persov Elad
Published: June 2024

This paper identifies three levels at which urban solid waste is generated: individual disposal of old objects, home renovations, and urban renewal projects. The increasing solid waste stream contributes to landfill use in rural and metropolitan areas, diminishing their ability to provide crucial ecosystem services to the city. To address this issue, qualitative research was conducted using project-based and design-thinking research and development methods. The paper presents solid waste generation and treatment research and develops a systemic behavioral, logistic, and digital solution. An online system connects municipal authorities, residents, and those interested in reuse, managing waste-producing processes, identifying the point of waste generation, and enabling logistical solutions for reuse. Emphasizing time management and object mapping, the system operates under the circular economy concept, generating financial and environmental profit. Furthermore, the system integrates waste management into the planning stages of renovation or renewal projects, allowing for proactive waste management considerations.

Decision Making and Behaviour Patterns in Network Relations
Authors: Fejes-Nádai Julianna
Published: June 2024

The present study offers an insight into a specific tendency emerging in the young generations, that is, development of specific characteristics of relations and self-images in the world of interrelatedness by being connected via internet. Individuals as social beings need to develop new characteristic features due to living in a world of network systems and hubs. Thus, they feel a kind of force on themselves of contacting to prevent themselves from being deprived of information vital to being visible in the society. Their purpose is to be familiar with the context of the network by adapting existing behaviour patterns, often ignoring their negative effects and consequences. The study tries to find proper answers to the following questions: What are individuals involved in networks really interested in when checking others’ profiles? What behaviour patterns do they acquire and imitate? How does the network system motivate, honour or sanction the involved individuals? The research method is based on semi-structured interviews involving university students who attempt to reveal what images young people living in the world of internet have about themselves and their special world. The research results can contribute both to making everyday communication and education in academic institutions more efficient. The present cross-sectional study presents current state of a long-term research into the drafted topic.

Imatinib and Trigger Avoidance for Mast Cell Activation Syndrome Presenting With Attacks of Abdominal Pain, Nausea, Vomiting, and Diarrhea
Authors: Weinstock Leonard B. , Tenkhoff Megan , Gutovich Jordan , Afrin Lawrence B.
Published: June 2024

The etiology for concurrent attacks of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea can be obscure. Mast cell activation syndrome is not usually considered in this differential diagnosis. A 53-year-old paint salesman suffered severe attacks of these symptoms for the 3 decades of his career. Nortriptyline, loperamide, hyoscyamine, and ondansetron failed to address his symptoms. Mast cell activation syndrome was ultimately diagnosed. Intravenous mast cell-targeted therapy reduced severity of attacks. Multiple oral mast cell-targeted treatments were ineffective, but addition of low-dose imatinib resulted in dramatic improvement. Recognition that paint-fume exposure-triggered attacks led to behavioral modifications which further reduced symptoms.

Introducción: la gestión eficiente del cambio y el bienestar de los empleados se han convertido en factores determinantes para el éxito organizacional. Este estudio se centró en analizar el papel mediador del clima organizacional en la relación entre la disposición al cambio y el bienestar eudaimónico de los colaboradores. Método: se contó con una muestra de 510 participantes de tres países (Colombia: n = 158, 31 %; España: n = 201, 39.4 %; Ecuador: n = 151, 29.6 %), con una edad media de 36.47 años (DE = 12.61), quienes respondieron el Test de Clima Organizacional (Focus-93), un Test de Disposición al Cambio Organizacional (Cedco ) y un Índice de Bienestar Eudaimónico (EWB). Resultados: los análisis multivariados y de regresión con ecuaciones estructurales indicaron una capacidad predictiva limitada del cambio organizacional en el bienestar, y la influencia positiva de aquel en el clima organizacional, además de una relación moderada entre el bienestar y el clima organizacional. No obstante, la relación entre el cambio organizacional y el clima subraya la importancia de la gestión efectiva del cambio para incidir en el bienestar de los empleados. Conclusiones: estos hallazgos enfatizan la necesidad de diseñar estrategias que fomenten el bienestar de los empleados a través de la gestión del cambio y la promoción del clima organizacional positivo en entornos organizacionales específicos.

Analisis Titik Kumpul Dalam Proses Evakuasi Penduduk dan Ternak Ketika Erupsi Gunung Merapi Wilayah Studi Kecamatan Cepogo, Boyolali
Authors: Anggoro Bayu Sukma , Tyas Wido Prananing , Mardiansyah Fadjar Hari
Published: June 2024

Penelitian tentang titik kumpul di Kecamatan Cepogo, Kabupaten Boyolali didasari dua latar belakang: Pertama wilayah studi Kecamatan Cepogo berbatasan dengan puncak Gunung Merapi yang sudah mengalami gempa guguran lebih dari seratus kali dari awal tahun 2022; Kedua data mitigasi bencana awan panas akibat Gunung Merapi pada tahun 2010 yang lalu menemukan banyak ternak yang mati setelah ditinggal evakuasi, sehingga hewan ternak dijadikan salah satu objek evakuasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mitigasi dan penanganan bencana melalui penentuan lokasi titik kumpul sebelum menuju barak pengungsian dan penentuan rute evakuasi. Batasan penelitian ini memprioritaskan hewan ternak dan penduduk sebagai prioritas utama, sedangkan pembahasan terhadap sister village yang lokasinya diluar wilayah studi cukup dalam wujud narasi pemetaan jalur evakuasi sederhana. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kuantitatif. Metoda analisis dalam penentuan titik kumpul sementara dengan melakukan pembobotan pada peta-peta yang memiliki sifat-sifat kuantitatif untuk dilanjutkan dengan network analysis jalur evakuasi dari titik kumpul menuju sister village beserta strategi dalam melakukan evakuasi bencana. Kesimpulan yang didapat  adalah titik kumpul dengan hasil pembobotan tinggi terfokus di area jalan ideal dengan lebar jalan diatas 5 meter yaitu jalan kolektor, dan terdapat 3 desa yang tidak terlayani titik kumpul dengan skor ideal yaitu Desa Wonodoyo, Desa Gedangan, dan desa Candi Gatak. Oleh sebab itu perlu adanya pelebaran jalan agar memungkinkan ekspansi titik kumpul baru dan rute evakuasi baru ketika pemobotan di kalkulasi ulang serta menigkatnya performa rute evakuasi yang sudah ditemukan dalam penelitian ini.
