Advancing public safety and housing solutions: A comprehensive framework for machine learning and predictive analytics in urban policy optimization
Authors: Amazing Hope Ekeh  , Charles Elachi Apeh  , Chinekwu Somtochukwu Odionu  , Blessing Austin-Gabriel
Published: January 2025

Urban areas worldwide face mounting challenges, including public safety concerns, housing shortages, and efficient resource allocation. Addressing these complexities requires innovative solutions that integrate technology and policy frameworks. This paper proposes an integrated framework leveraging machine learning (ML) and predictive analytics to optimize urban policy-making and provide actionable insights for sustainable urban development. The framework combines real-time data streams with advanced predictive modeling to enhance decision-making in urban governance. Key features include the ability to assess and respond to emerging trends in public safety by analyzing crime patterns, resource deployment, and community risk factors. Similarly, the framework addresses housing shortages by evaluating demand-supply dynamics, forecasting population growth, and identifying areas requiring immediate intervention. A critical review of existing models underscores the limitations of traditional urban policy approaches in managing socioeconomic disparities and environmental influences. Building upon these insights, the proposed framework integrates diverse data sources, such as demographic information, environmental metrics, and public sentiment analysis, to create a holistic view of urban systems. This multidimensional approach ensures that policy recommendations are context-sensitive, equitable, and inclusive. Moreover, the framework emphasizes stakeholder engagement, fostering collaboration among policymakers, urban planners, community leaders, and data scientists. It prioritizes scalability and adaptability, allowing its application across diverse urban contexts and geographic locations. This adaptability ensures that the framework remains relevant as urban environments evolve and new challenges arise. By addressing the interplay between data-driven insights and policy optimization, this research aims to bridge the gap between theoretical models and practical implementation. The framework holds the potential to redefine urban governance by enabling proactive decision-making, equitable resource allocation, and sustainable development. Future research should explore real-world applications of this framework to validate its efficacy and refine its components further.

Authors: Farooqui Mohammad Owais , Qureshi Tahir
Published: January 2025

The 21st century is not remarkable witness scientific discoveries and invention but also exploration of area beyond the earth. The outer space is the exponential emerging field for the astronomical research and exploration. But it also achieved significant growth from militarization to weaponization the outer space. The outer space is the province of all humanity and global common beyond the exclusive jurisdiction of any State, which shall be used for the peaceful purposes. The various space power has possessed the anti-satellite weapons and further investing on more advance technology to maintain their dominance over the utilization of the outer space. Consequently, although the international framework governing outer space emphasizes its "peaceful use," there is uncertainty in how this phrase is understood, with many interpretations often limiting it to non-military or non-aggressive purposes. In the light of these chronic deficiencies there is a pressing need to address the gaps in the international space regulations to forestall any further weaponization of space.

An-arquia contra a soberania
Authors: Soares de Moura Costa Matos Andityas
Published: January 2025

Pretendo realizar neste artigo uma crítica à ideia de soberania a partir de uma reinterpretação da teoria do poder constituinte pensada por Carl Schmitt, reinterpretada, no entanto, em chave democrático-radical com a ajuda do texto de 1843 do jovem Marx dedicado à crítica da teoria do Estado de Hegel e das noções de novidade e autoconstituição da sociedade pensadas por Cornelius Castoriadis. O objetivo é opor à ideia de soberania, entendida como um poder unificado e fundacional (arkhé), a possibilidade de uma an-arquia (noção proposta por Reiner Schürmann) constituinte, ou seja, uma ordem social sem fundamento, capaz de superar encriptação do povo como falso sujeito da soberania, na medida em que ele nada mais é do que o seu objeto, conforme demonstra a teoria da encriptação do poder de Sanín-Restrepo.
O pós-extrativismo como resposta aos problemas socioambientais da América Latina e Caribe a partir da racionalidade ambiental
Authors: Truccolo Reato Talissa , Teixeira Alessandra Vanessa , Ribeiro Preve Daniel
Published: January 2025

O objetivo da pesquisa é analisar o pós-extrativismo como uma solução fundada na racionalidade ambiental para que a América Latina e Caribe possam enfrentar as mudanças climáticas e outros problemas socioecológicos, advindos da crise civilizatória. A metodologia se desenvolve por meio do método hipotético-dedutivo. É uma pesquisa básica, qualitativa, exploratória e bibliográfica. A parte inicial estuda a crise civilizatória, com destaque para o viés ambiental. O segundo momento verifica o desenvolvimento sustentável como uma máscara que não soluciona a referida crise. A última parte da pesquisa examina o pós-extrativismo como recurso para outra racionalidade (ambiental). Em termos conclusivos, demonstra-se que há esperança de aprimorar a consciência ecológica para enfrentar a crise global civilizatória e fomentar respostas políticas e institucionais factíveis, inclusive embasadas numa racionalidade que não é econômica, em prol da própria sobrevivência humana e da sustentabilidade na Terra.
Analyzing the impact of traditional and sports-based teaching methods on team cohesion and team cognition among college students
Authors:   University of Baguio, Hongke Zhong , Suaco Thea ,   University of Baguio
Published: January 2025

This study examines the impact of traditional and sports-based teaching methods on team cohesion, cognition, and stress reduction among college students, guided by a positivist research philosophy. Adopting a comparative correlational design, data were collected from 60 students aged 18–20 at the private higher education in the Philippines through quantitative surveys. Grounded on Social Interdependence Theory and Cognitive Load Theory, the findings reveal that sports-based teaching methods significantly enhance team cohesion, foster cognitive engagement, and reduce stress compared to traditional lecture-based approaches. Statistical analyses, including paired t-tests, Pearson’s correlation, and chi-square tests, confirm that the interactive and cooperative elements of sports-based methods promote collaboration, trust, and active participation. In contrast, traditional methods, which emphasize passive learning and individual focus, are associated with lower team cohesion and cognition and higher stress levels. These results highlight the value of integrating sports-based teaching methods into educational curricula to support students' holistic development. The study recommends professional development for educators to implement these strategies effectively and further research to explore long-term benefits and adaptations for diverse learning environments.
Craniology of Nyctereutes procyonoides (Carnivora) based on materials from Ukraine
Authors:   National Museum of Natural History, NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine), Lazariev Denys
Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of a comprehensive craniological analysis of the common raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides Gray 1834) based on adult skulls from four samples, three of which comprise materials from Ukraine: 1) central and northern oblasts of Ukraine (Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Cherkasy oblasts); 2) eastern oblasts of Ukraine (Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Poltava oblasts); 3) southern oblasts of Ukraine (Kherson Oblast). Additionally, a sample that includes materials from the native range of the species (Khabarovsk Krai, Primorsky Krai, and Chita Oblast of Russia) was also analysed. The research included standard analysis based on craniometric measurements of 19 parameters, and analysis of the skull shape by tools of geometric morphometrics separately for the dorsal and ventral sides of the skull and the buccal surface of the left mandible. The total sample comprised 62 specimens. The results of the analysis of linear characters showed that specimens from the northern, central, and southern oblasts of Ukraine differ from those from the eastern oblasts of Ukraine and from specimens from the Far East, which are characterised by larger dimensions. The analysis of shape differences using MorphoJ demonstrates the greatest morphological distance between the samples from the territory of Ukraine and the sample from the species’ native range. The analysis of the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the skulls showed that the specimens from the native range of the common raccoon dog have more elongated and broader nasal bones, while the braincase is narrowed from the sides, but elongated towards the occipital bones. The greatest level of shape variation is characteristic of the mandible. Specimens from the territory of Ukraine have a more elongated mandibular ramus and a larger area of the coronal, articular, and angular processes, while skulls from the species’ native range have a larger angle between the mandibular ramus and the coronal process, which in turn has a greater inclination relative to the articular process and a smaller area of the angular process. Skull size is often larger in animals in introduced populations, but it also depends on environmental conditions, nutrition, and interspecific competition.
Algunos factores explicativos de la debilidad del consumo de los hogares después de la pandemia
Authors: Martínez-Carrascal Carmen
Published: January 2025

Motivación

El consumo de los hogares ha presentado en España una debilidad considerable tras la pandemia y su recuperación ha sido menos intensa de lo que habría cabido esperar según la evolución de sus rentas. En este artículo se caracterizan los tipos de hogares y las partidas de la cesta de consumo que habrían contribuido en mayor medida a explicar esta atonía.

Ideas principales

Por componentes de la cesta de consumo, en 2023 el gasto medio en bienes duraderos (en particular, en automóviles) y semiduraderos (en particular, en ropa y calzado) presentó la mayor caída en términos reales con respecto a 2019, mientras que el consumo destinado a ocio y cultura se situó próximo a sus niveles previos a la pandemia.

Por tipos de hogar, las mayores brechas en los niveles de consumo medio por hogar con respecto a los previos a la pandemia se observan en los hogares con rentas altas y en aquellos en los que el sustentador principal tiene una edad entre 35 y 54 años o es de nacionalidad extranjera.

Las diferencias en la evolución del consumo por tipos de hogar están relacionadas con la heterogeneidad entre hogares tanto en la evolución de sus ingresos como en la composición de la cesta de consumo —en concreto, el distinto peso que tiene en esta el gasto esencial (alimentación, alquiler, agua y energía)—.

Recurrencia de la neuralgia del trigémino refractaria en pacientes tratados con radiocirugía estereotáctica
Authors: Ayala Durán Laura María , Belloso Bichara Daniela Reneé , Cerna López Elvira Alejandra
Published: January 2025

La neuralgia del trigémino es un trastorno neuropático craneofacial que sigue una o más de las ramas del nervio craneal V y ocasiona ataques paroxísticos de alta intensidad, produce discapacidad y es más prevalente en el sexo femenino. El tratamiento de primera línea es el farmacológico, con el objetivo de aliviar los síntomas, evitar recidivas y complicaciones. Sin embargo, presenta un alto índice de refractariedad, por lo que se han desarrollado otros procedimientos no invasivos como la radiocirugía estereotáctica. Este tratamiento ofrece un alivio de los síntomas durante un periodo más prolongado que permite al paciente puntuar entre el rango I-III en la escala del Instituto Neurológico Barrow; sin embargo, también puede reaparecer. Con el objetivo de determinar la recurrencia de neuralgia del trigémino refractaria en pacientes tratados con radiocirugía estereotáctica, se realizó una revisión narrativa de artículos originales de revistas científicas en inglés y español, publicados de 2019 a 2024. La recurrencia posterior a la radiocirugía puede estar determinada por características propias de la enfermedad, así como por el plan de tratamiento. A pesar de ello, debido a la seguridad y eficacia que ofrece, es posible realizar múltiples intervenciones sin presentar complicaciones graves y obteniendo baja incidencia de casos de hipoestesia y una escasa prevalencia de aneurismas.

Published: January 2025

The  purpose  of  the study. This study examines the effectiveness and tactical implications of lob and smash strategies in competitive badminton among junior athletes.
Materials and methods. Through quantitative analysis of 32 junior players (16 males, 16 females, aged 14-18 years), we investigated shot frequency, success rates, and contextual factors influencing strategy selection.
Results. Results indicate that lobs constituted 18.3% (±3.2%) of total shots with a 62.1% (±5.7%) success rate, while smashes accounted for 12.7% (±2.8%) of shots with a 71.4% (±6.3%) success rate. Logistic regression analysis revealed that court position, rally length, and score difference significantly influenced shot selection (p < 0.001). Smashes were predominantly used from the forecourt (OR = 3.842, p < 0.001), while lobs were more frequent in longer rallies (OR = 1.180 per additional shot, p < 0.001). Gender differences were observed, with female players using lobs more frequently than males (19.5% ±3.0% vs. 17.1% ±3.4%, p = 0.037). Two-way ANOVA revealed a significant interaction between shot type and rally length on success rate (F(3, 124) = 7.936, p < 0.001, partial η² = 0.161).
Conclusions. These findings provide insights into optimal shot selection and its impact on game outcomes among junior badminton players. The study contributes to the development of effective training programs and tactical approaches, emphasizing the importance of contextual factors in strategic decision-making. Future research directions include longitudinal studies of tactical development and investigation of these strategies in doubles play.
Linguistic Features and Symbolic Communication in Àgídìgbo Music of the Yorùbá of Southwestern Nigeria
Authors: Adekola Olaolu Emmanuel
Published: January 2025

Music and language are inseparable, their relationship manifests in various contexts. Àgídìgbo music is one of the traditional music through which Yorùbá language is expressed and preserved because musicians usually deploy certain linguistic elements and communication devices in navigating their artistic creativity. Existing studies on music have not sufficiently examined how language, text and interpretation make sense in àgídìgbo music. This paper therefore, examined how language, text and interpretation in àgídìgbo music are used in express linguistic features, symbolic communication and nuances in African language. Ethnographic design was used and a purposive sampling technique was deployed to select three notable àgídìgbo exponents in Èrúwà (Oyo state), Abeòkúta (Ogun state) and Ìwó (Osun state) all in southwest Nigeria where àgídìgbo music performance is prevalent. Observation and In-depth interviews were employed as methods of data collection during social ceremonies of the key informants. Musical excerpts were recorded from live performances and data were subjected to content analyses. The findings revealed that the linguistic elements used in àgídìgbo music were proverbs and figures of speech such as hyperbole, metaphors, simile, fable, parables, repetition and digression clearly expressed communication device and nuances in Yorùbá language. The versatility and musical prowess of àgídìgbo musicians are not only measured by their virtuosity on the instrument but also by their ability to use the right and appropriate language elements such as òwe and other figures of speech in driving home their points thereby making àgídìgbo music to serve as repository for future generation.

Published: January 2025

This study examines the complex relationship between Afro Pop music and traditional African moral values. Through a critical analysis of lyrics, music videos, and artist interviews, this research investigates how Afro-Pop’s increasing commercialization and global influence affects its representation of African cultural norms. The study combines a mixed-methods approach with content analysis and surveys to interrogate the data samples of 16 collected Afro-pop songs. A riveting exposition of respect and modesty versus vulgarity and profanity was juxtaposed to reposition and validate the status of African morality through the festering of Afro Pop Music. The study contributes to the ongoing debates on cultural globalisation, African identity, and the role of music in shaping moral values.

Authors: John Sunday Edet , Eteng Nzeyo Gabriel
Published: January 2025

There is no argument that Christianity played a great and positive role in Ekori by getting rid of heinous cultural practices, provision of health care services and educating the people, but it has also robbed the people of certain cultural institutions and heritage. Ekau Cult was a highly placed and important social institution that played a variety of roles in the community; ranging from maintaining ethical order and stability, judicial, economic and security roles. The qualitative method of data collection and analysis which includes both primary and secondary materials. Primary data were gathered from the field through extensive oral interviews under a conducive atmosphere void of external influences which attest to the originality of the information obtained. The secondary data includes works written by scholars found in journals, textbooks and Internet. It was discovered in the course of this research that the extinction of Ekau Feminine Cult has resulted to insecurity, moral decadence, infertility and infidelity, broken relationships, domestic violence, among others. The need for cultural revivalism, self identity and religious tolerance is among the recommendations made in this work.
Chinese Companies in The Nigerian Construction Industry Since 1999: Issues and Contentions
Authors: Boge Faruq Idowu
Published: January 2025

There is no gainsaying the fact that China (and her multinational corporations) has penetrated a large portion of the global economy in the last three decades. There is hardly any country in and a sector of the African economy (Nigeria in particular) that does not have a significant presence of Chinese transnational corporations. The economic inter-relationships between Nigeria and China has witnessed a tremendous increase since the birth of the fourth republic in Nigeria. From the backdrop of the country’s infrastructural deficiency and colonial experience, the Nigerian construction industry has been exposed to participation from different foreign multinational corporations from Germany, Egypt, Italy, and China among others. In the last two decades, however, Chinese companies have dominated the Nigerian construction industry. Through the lens of historical scholarship, this study examines the factors that seem to have provided the Chinese an edge over other multinational construction companies in Nigeria. Using the theories of international economic relations such as the liberal theory, the comparative advantage theory, the factors proportion theory, and the strategic trade policy theory the study expatiates on some of the issues and contentions relating to the presence of Chinese companies in the Nigerian construction industry. It adopts a qualitative research methodology using historical approach to data collation and interpretations. Information is derived majorly from secondary sources via extant literature, media reportage, and internet materials from the websites of companies. Few oral interviews are also conducted to verify some of the information from the media and the internet.
Negotiating Sexual Boundaries through Reality Shows: A Multimodal Study of Paraphilic Behaviours in Big Brother Naija
Authors: Gbadegesin Victoria Oluwamayowa , Olufunwa Harry Omobokun
Published: January 2025

Allegations in the public space persist that the Big Brother Naija (BBN) show glamorises sexual gratification. It is perceived to constantly rupture the conservative narratives that surround the public expression of sex in many Nigerian cultures. Interestingly, many of these opinions have not been empirically substantiated. The current study, therefore, explores the nature of sexual boundary negotiation, the communicative tools employed in the negotiation, and the forms of sexual gratification embedded in the show. The data for the study are videos from seasons two and three of Big Brother Naija, with excerpts and video stills used for exemplification. The analysis and discussions are explored relying on Multimodal Interaction Analysis (MIA). The findings illustrate that Big Brother Naija participants are prosumers who do not only produce content to negotiate sexual boundaries but also consume the content produced by other participants in the show for the same purpose. Exhibitionism and frotteurism are linked to content production while voyeurism is linked to content consumption. These sexual behaviours position the show as one aimed at deliberately stretching the sexual boundaries imposed by cultures, ethnicity and religion in Nigeria.

Published: January 2025

Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) accounts for around 40% of the total building energy con¬sumption. It has therefore become a major target for reductions, in terms of both energy usage and CO2 emissions. In the light of progress in building intelligence and energy technologies, traditional methods for HVAC optimi¬zation, control, and fault diagnosis will struggle to meet essential requirements such as energy efficiency, occu¬pancy comfort and reliable fault detection. Machine learning and data science have great potential in this regard, particularly with developments in information technology and sensor equipment, providing access to large vol¬umes of high-quality data. There remains, however, a number of challenges before machine learning can gain widespread adoption in industry. This review summarizes the recent literature on machine learning for HVAC system optimization, control and fault detection. Unlike other reviews, we provide a comprehensive coverage of the applications, including the factors considered. A brief overview of machine learning and its applications to HVAC is provided, after which we critically appraise the recent literature on control, optimization and fault diagnosis and detection. Finally, we provide a comprehensive discussion on the limitations of current research and suggest future research directions.

Authors: . Kristian , Alamsyah Ani Susanti dan M. Nur
Published: January 2025

In general, this study aims to analyze the implementation of subsidized fertilizer policies in Parigi Moutong Regency. This research uses a qualitative method, which is a method that is prepared based on certain rules in a real context, which aims to describe and explain systematically and accurately related to the fertilizer policy. The theory used is the implementation of policies from Grindle (in Nugroho, 2004:176), which includes four main aspects: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure.
The results of this study show that the success of policy implementation is highly dependent on good coordination between relevant actors and effective resource management. The positive disposition of farmers, extension workers, distributors, and the government is an important factor in encouraging policy success, although the obstacles faced can cause the change in disposition to be negative. Therefore, efforts to improve communication, extension training, infrastructure improvement, and a more efficient administrative system are needed to increase the effectiveness of subsidized fertilizer policies in Balinggi District.
Classification of natural specializations by priority component of the telescopic model of the natural cycle of activity
Authors: Ishkov Aleksandr
Published: January 2025

The article considers the classification of natural specializations according to the priority components of the telescopic model of the natural cycle of activity. The model reflects the structural organization of the human nervous system. The main purpose of the research was to develop a classification of natural specializations of people based on a telescopic model. The classification is structured as a hierarchical system with three levels of detail. The first, classical level classification, corresponding to the small telescopic model, identifies four natural specializations. The second, basic classification level increases the number of natural specializations from four classical to eight basics. This is due to the allocation of two subtypes (basic specializations) in each classical specialization: concrete (right-hemisphere) and abstract (left-hemisphere). The third, detailed level of specialization increases the number of natural specializations from eight basic to sixteen detailed ones. This is due to the allocation of two subtypes (detailed specializations) in each basic specialization, reflecting the orientation to the input (afference) or output (efference) of the non-priority pole of the "interocept or exterocept" dichotomy. The classification of natural specializations highlights the initial (natural, neurophysiological) characteristics of people, which will improve the accuracy of predictions of their behavior.
Silenciando el pasado

Published: January 2025

Analizando la incapacidad de Occidente para comprender la revuelta esclava más importante de la Historia junto a la negación del Holocausto y los debates sobre El Álamo y Cristóbal Colón, Michel-Rolph Trouillot nos ofrece una sorprendente reflexión sobre cómo el poder funciona en la producción de la Historia. Con una introducción de la renombrada investigadora Hazel V. Carby, Silenciando el pasado es un análisis indispensable de los silencios de nuestras narrativas históricas, sobre lo que se omite y lo que se registra, sobre lo que se recuerda y lo que se olvida, y sobre lo que estos silencios revelan sobre las injusticias del poder. Porque la Historia es siempre fruto del poder, un poder invisible. Nuestro mayor reto es mostrar sus raíces.

Los tiempos han cambiado y afortunadamente algunas constituciones no han sido ajenas a ello, adap´tándose a los nuevos requerimientos políticos y sociales. Su consideración como pacto esencial o fundacional que ocupa la cúspide del ordenamiento jurídico es especialmente relevante porque tales previsiones mandatan de forma inequívoca a los poderes públicos, enviando un claro mensaje de las formas de relación admitidas o rechazadas en una comunidad.
DE LA SOCIABILIDAD AL PATRIMONIO MATERIAL E INMATERIAL
Authors: Zozaya-Montes María
Published: January 2025

En un momento en que está siendo cada vez más valorizado el patrimonio cercano, regional, inmaterial y no monumental, este libro se centra en las formas de relación social que terminan por construir una herencia cultural de naturaleza material e inmaterial. Va al encuentro de la reciente Carta de Porto Santo proclamada en Portugal (PNA-DGPC) para reclamar los patrimonios de proximidad, aquellos con los que se identifica la ciudadanía o fueron esenciales para la vida cotidiana en el pasado. Rescata numerosas formas de relación que han rodeado durante generaciones al lector y que generaron patrimonios cotidianos y modestos, que por la escasa consciencia de su importancia se están perdiendo de forma global. Es una llamada de atención a la población para que conserve ese entorno patrimonial inmediato que se puede encontrar en el baile, en la ermita, en la casa, en la asociación a la que pertenecieron sus abuelos, o en las relaciones sociales que se acompañan de objetos que socializan o solemnizan creencias. Este libro es un modelo de cómo comenzar a mirar desde la óptica del patrimonio a sujetos y objetos que se venían analizando desde un punto de vista histórico social, lejos de su paisaje cultural extenso; paisaje que además es similar a muchas partes del Sur global que se aborda en las variadas contribuciones de este monográfico.
PLATAFORMAS DE CUIDADOS A MAYORES
Authors: Navarro Egea Mercedes
Published: January 2025

La esperanza de vida en nuestro país es una de las más altas del mundo. Se estima que en treinta años la tasa de dependencia de personas mayores con necesidades de cuidados en la UE alcanzará el sesenta por ciento.Este estudio aborda las cuestiones jurídico-tributarias que plantean las "plataformas digitales de cuidados" que operan en el ámbito nacional y que tienen por destinatarios a los mayores dependientes.Estas fórmulas empresariales, además del potencial que tienen para la generación de empleo y la innovación, contribuyen a mejorar la calidad del envejecimiento, pues la oferta de servicios (cuidados de larga duración, por períodos cortos o por horas) se adapta con mayor flexibilidad a las necesidades individuales de los mayores, preservando su independencia y autonomía en todo el ciclo de la vejez. Unos cuidados que han de ser de calidad, asequibles y accesibles.Interesa, por tanto, adentrarse en los aspectos más significativos de lo que podría ser una fiscalidad de plataformas, focalizada en aquellas que actúan como intermediarias conectando a vendedores o prestadores de servicios con usuarios, y que comprende medidas concretas en el IS y el IVA, así como nuevas obligaciones de suministro de información (DAC 7). En esta categoría de plataformas se reconocen la mayoría de las que operan en el ámbito de los cuidados. Y, puesto que se trata de un sector empresarial en crecimiento, presenta especial interés conocer en qué medida se pueden aprovechar las medidas fiscales introducidas para el fomento de las empresas emergentes (startups), así como para la atracción de inversión privada y la captación de talento extranjero.

Hagiografias e o processo civilizador: uma análise da “Vida da sereníssima princesa Dona Joana filha D’el-rei Dom Afonso o quinto de Portugal” (1585)
Authors: Souza Gabrieu de Queiros , Pereira Amanda Malheiros
Published: January 2025

D. Joana da Casa de Avis (1452-1490) foi uma infanta portuguesa, filha de D. Afonso V, o Africano (1432-1481). Nunca tendo casado, as últimas décadas de sua vida foram vividas no Mosteiro de Jesus de Aveiro, local onde nunca professou os votos perpétuos, mas possuía influência política. Em 1585 foi publicado pelo frade dominicano Nicolau Dias (c. 1520-1596) a obra Vida da sereníssima princesa Dona Joana filha D’el-rei Dom Afonso o quinto de Portugal, texto hagiográfico baseado em escritos guardados no Mosteiro de Jesus de Aveiro. A partir das análises de François Dosse sobre hagiografias e das metodologias de análise histórica de Marc Bloch, o texto de Dias é analisado como um tratado educacional que objetivava controle social e moral a partir da narrativa sobre D. Joana. Partindo da teoria do processo civilizador de Norbert Elias, compreende-se o texto hagiográfico em questão como parte do longo processo de civilização dos costumes que a sociedade europeia vivenciou nos finais da Idade Média e inícios da Idade Moderna.

O delirium é um distúrbio neurológico causado por falhas na comunicação das funções cognitivas e diminuição das funções corticais superiores, relacionado à alta atividade dopaminérgica e baixa colinérgica. Embora sua fisiopatologia não esteja completamente elucidada, acredita-se que envolva distúrbios em áreas corticais e subcorticais. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar o conhecimento da equipe de enfermagem acerca do delirium na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. Este estudo exploratório-descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa, foi realizado em uma UTI de João Pessoa (PB). Os dados foram analisados com o Microsoft Excel 2013 e apresentados em tabelas e gráficos.O estudo incluiu 24 profissionais, com predominância do sexo feminino (71%; n=17). Todos os participantes relataram já ter ouvido falar sobre delirium, e 94% (n=23) identificaram corretamente a diferença entre delirium e delírio. O delirium foi destacado como uma condição que impacta negativamente o estado clínico dos pacientes, sendo sua ocorrência mais frequente em UTIs, conforme relatado pela literatura.A pesquisa evidenciou que, embora a equipe de enfermagem demonstre conhecimento sobre delirium, o tema ainda é pouco explorado na prática. Os resultados ressaltam a necessidade de maior investimento em capacitação e protocolos específicos para melhorar o manejo e reduzir os impactos do delirium em pacientes críticos.

Published: January 2025

A insuficiência cardíaca com fração de ejeção reduzida (ICFEr) representa um desafio clínico, associado a altas taxas de mortalidade e hospitalizações. Este estudo revisa o impacto do uso de inibidores de SGLT2 na redução da mortalidade e das hospitalizações em pacientes com ICFEr. Originalmente utilizados para o controle do diabetes tipo 2, esses medicamentos demonstram benefícios cardiovasculares significativos. Com base em estudos recentes, este trabalho avalia as evidências da eficácia dos inibidores de SGLT2, propondo sua incorporação no tratamento de pacientes com ICFEr, visando tanto a melhoria dos desfechos clínicos quanto a redução de custos no sistema de saúde. Diante dos resultados obtidos, sugere-se que políticas de saúde públicas e privadas considerem a incorporação desses medicamentos nos protocolos assistenciais de insuficiência cardíaca, priorizando estratégias que tornem seu uso viável e acessível. Paralelamente, é necessário investir em campanhas educativas que orientem pacientes e profissionais de saúde quanto aos benefícios e ao uso correto dessa classe terapêutica.

A gestão de pessoas, no cenário atual, é um elemento central para o sucesso e a sustentabilidade tanto no setor privado quanto na administração pública, especificamente no setor da saúde pública. Fundamentada nos princípios da Norma Operacional Básica de Recursos Humanos para o Sistema Único de Saúde (NOB/RHSUS) e no trabalho da Secretaria de Gestão do Trabalho e Educação em Saúde, a gestão de pessoas pode ser aprimorada por meio de estratégias que promovam um ambiente de trabalho saudável e motivador. Políticas públicas desempenham papel crucial ao orientar as práticas de recursos humanos na saúde, buscando eficiência, eficácia e efetividade nas ações. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o impacto das práticas de gestão de pessoas no desempenho de uma Secretaria Municipal de Saúde (SMS) de um município da zona da mata mineira, identificando estratégias, desafios e níveis de satisfação dos colaboradores, com o intuito de propor recomendações para fortalecer a gestão de pessoas no setor público e aumentar o engajamento das equipes. Adotou-se uma abordagem descritiva, unindo análise de dados quantitativos e qualitativos obtidos por entrevistas e questionários aplicados pelo método survey. Os resultados destacaram uma percepção predominantemente positiva sobre as práticas de gestão de pessoas, mas também evidenciaram lacunas que demandam atenção. A análise criteriosa dos dados permitiu construir recomendações que agregam valor às decisões estratégicas e oferecem uma base teórica sólida para futuras pesquisas, visando aprimorar a gestão de recursos humanos e consolidar a eficiência organizacional no setor público.
