Published: October 2024

Autologous blood therapy has emerged as a promising modality in managing ocular surface disorders. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current literature regarding the use of autologous blood in ocular surface disorders, encompassing its physiological basis, clinical applications, techniques, challenges, and future perspectives. The ocular surface, comprising the cornea, conjunctiva, and tear film, plays a critical role in maintaining visual function, and its disruption can lead to various pathological conditions. With its rich composition of growth factors, cytokines, and other bioactive molecules, autologous blood offers therapeutic potential in promoting corneal wound healing, reducing inflammation, and improving tear film stability. Clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of autologous blood therapy in diverse ocular surface disorders, including persistent epithelial defects, neurotrophic keratopathy, and dry eye disease. However, challenges such as variability in treatment response, adverse effects, and optimal patient selection remain areas of concern. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of action, refine treatment protocols, and explore synergistic approaches with other therapeutic modalities. Despite these challenges, autologous blood therapy holds promise as a valuable adjunctive treatment option for ocular surface disorders, offering new avenues for improving patient outcomes and quality of life. This review examines the mechanisms underlying ocular surface disorders while discussing existing autologous blood-based therapies for managing these disorders. Current clinical trials are also summarized, and a comparison between autologous blood therapy and conventional eyedrops is attempted. Finally, safe techniques and protocols for autologous blood medicine are elucidated, and adverse effects and future perspectives of this novel therapy are reviewed.

Authors: Xiang Ze , Li Jia-Rui , Wan Wei-Min , Li Shu-Hui , Wu Jian
Published: October 2024

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels due to genetic mutations, presenting with xanthomas, corneal arch, and severe cardiovascular diseases. Early identification, diagnosis, and treatment are crucial to prevent severe complications like acute myocardial infarction. Statins are the primary treatment, supplemented by Ezetimibe and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors, though their effectiveness can be limited in severe cases. Over 90% of FH cases remain undiagnosed, and current treatments are often inadequate, underscoring the need for improved diagnostic and management systems. Future strategies include advancements in gene testing, precision medicine, and novel drugs, along with gene therapy approaches like AAV-mediated gene therapy and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats. Lifestyle modifications, including health education, dietary control, and regular exercise, are essential for managing FH and preventing related diseases. Research into FH-related gene mutations, especially LDLR , is critical for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Gürcü dilini, Gürcü edebiyatı olmadan öğrenmek imkansızdır. Ana dili Gürcüce olanlar için bile, iletişim becerilerinin gelişmesi açısından Gürcü edebiyatını öğrenmek mecburidir. En eski zamanlardan beri, kilise-manastır bünyesinde olan enstitülerin eğitim merkezlerinde farklı bilimsel derslerin yanı sıra belagatın (güzel konuşma) ayrı bir ders olarak öğretildiği belirtilmelidir. Bunun amacı tahsilli insanların Gürcü dilini güzel konuşabilmelerini sağlamaktı. Günümüzde bu misyonu sanatsal biçimler açısından en eski ve en zengin temalara sahip olan Gürcü dili ve Gürcü edebiyatı sadakatle üstlenmektedir. Dilbilimciler tarafından müzikal unsurun bilinçli bir ifadesi olarak kabul edilen dil, bir milletin ruhudur. Antropozofi bilimi, orjinal dilin yaratıcılarının, süper bilinçten gelen bilgeliğin ikonalar halinde kendilerine vahyedildiği manevi katman (dini sınıf) olan Kurumlar olduğu bilgisini vermektedir. Tanrılara dua ediyorlardı ve okudukları dua, manevi bilgiye göre sembolik ağırlık verilen bir tür şarkıydı. Çok eski zamanlardan itibaren dil, hem rasyonel hem de irrasyonel unsurları birleştiren bir yapıdaydı. Biri sıradan iletişimsel, diğeri sembolik olmak üzere çift anlama sahipti ve bu bir tür maneviyat tanımı yaratırdı. En eski efsanelerin ritm yani şiir şeklinde oluşurulduğu ve Gürcü milletinin hafızasında nesilden nesile aktarıldığı verdiğimiz örneklerde görülmektedir. Gürcü dilinde icra edilen Gürcü edebiyatının, şiirinin ya da nesirinin müzikal kompozisyonu vardır. Bu sınırsız bir kompozisyondur ve onu okurken ritm duygusu sizi doğrudan milletin ruhuna götürür. Sanatsal eserleri yüksek sesle okumanın, kelimelerin uyumlu dizilişinin hafızada algılanan bir tür meditasyonu olduğunu düşünüyoruz. Kişi bunu yaparken istemsizce kendi kendine ezberlemeye ve bilincinde yabancı kelimeler biriktirmeye başlar. Bir kez daha tekrarlayacağız, Gürcü edebiyatını öğrenmeden Gürcü dilini öğrenmek imkansızdır. Biz ayrıca “Kaplan ve Genç Adam” adlı Eski Gürcü Halk Efsanesine de değindik. Basit kelimelerin bir kombinasyonu olan bu çalışma, şiirsel yapısıyla yabancı kelimelerin dinleyicilerin kulağına kolayca ulaşmasını sağlamaktadır. Herhangi bir metni okurken gerekli bir bileşen olan dipnotlar, bireysel bir yaklaşım gerektirir ve doğrudan öğrenme sürecinde etkilidir. Tamda bunun için, günlük konuşma dilimize de katkıda bulunan Gürcü Dili Eş Anlamlılar Sözlüğü benzersiz bir çalışma sunmaktadır.

Published: October 2024

The performance of local government employees plays an important role in carrying out government functions and providing quality public services. This study aims to analyze the relationship between Transformational Leadership and Job Performance, focusing on the mediating role of Work Engagement and moderating Job Autonomy in the context of employees of the Sumenep Regency Government. Although the Sumenep Regency Government achieved an Unqualified Opinion (WTP) on the financial report, challenges in the form of ethical violations and low productivity remain. The research method used a questionnaire to collect data from 81 employees with the Slovin sampling technique, ensuring the representativeness of the results. The results of the analysis showed that Job Autonomy had a significant effect on Job Performance (O = 0.555; T = 5.551; p = 0.000), while Transformational Leadership did not contribute directly to Job Performance (O = 0.038; T = 0.468; p = 0.320). This study is expected to provide new insights into the mechanisms that affect employee performance in the public sector and suggest the application of the transformational leadership model as a strategy to increase employee work engagement and performance, as well as increase accountability and transparency in the management of public resources.

Published: October 2024

Modern workplaces have evolved so much that it requires a change in how companies think of employee motivation and productivity. The study aimed to finding out the association between employee motivation and incentive systems to formulate a model that will guide on how best overall organizational productivity could be boosted. It also offers insights based on research proven strategies for building the type of workplace that will motivate employees. The research used a quantitative approach with cross-sectional survey design. Three hundred and fifty individuals were surveyed from 10 organizations across a range of industries, organizational levels. Stratified random sampling approach was used to ensure that all age groups as well as different generational and working models were represented in sample across cultures. Structural equation modelling (SEM) by means of AMOS 26 was applied and an analysis of the results revealed some important paths for critical organisational variables. The findings found was motivation, with high relationships to the workplace environment (β = 0.42), communication (β = 0.55) and incentives (p < Workplace environment was empirically shown to have a positive but weak effect on productivity (β =0.13), and the strong relationship with communication (β = 0.80). The proposed model shows a good fit in multiple indices: GFI (0.852), CFI (0.913), TLI (0.900) and RMSEA 90(74)], thereby validating the structure of the framework along with all its measured variables. These results suggest that organizations need to take a comprehensive view when looking at ways to motive and increase productivity of employees by being able understand the complex interrelations among work behaviors. This has operational implications for leaders and human resource professionals who seek a combined impact by aligning work designing, communication systems, incentive design structures and cultural integration strategies.

Published: October 2024

This study aims to examine the effect of Professional Commitment (X1) and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (X2) on Legislative Function Performance (Y) through Legislative Function Understanding (Z) as a mediating variable among members of the South Kalimantan Provincial DPRD. The research method uses a quantitative design with mediation analysis. Data were collected from 117 DPRD member respondents using a questionnaire that was tested for validity and reliability. The results of the analysis showed that X2 did not have a significant effect on Y (p-value = 0.089), while X2 had a significant negative effect on Z (p-value = 0.000). On the other hand, X1 showed a significant negative effect on Y (p-value = 0.000), but was not significant on Z (p-value = 0.337). Legislative Function Understanding (Z) did not function as a mediator between X2 and Y (p-value = 0.882) and between X1 and Y (p-value = 0.905). These findings emphasize the importance of increasing the professional commitment of DPRD members and paying attention to organizational citizenship behavior in an effort to improve legislative performance, while also showing that understanding the legislative function does not strengthen the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Further research is needed to explore other factors that may affect legislative performance.

Authors: Tham Michael , Winarko Hilarius Bambang
Published: October 2024

Communication performance and organizational culture are closely related, in the process an individual's communication performance reflects their organization's culture. Every company has its organizational culture, including Hotel “A," which is one of the 5-star international hotels in Jakarta, also experiencing issues with its organizational culture. This study employs descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The method used in this research is interview with employees from the in-room dining division at Hotel “A”, that is a 2 active members of the organization. The research findings reveal problems in the communication performance at Hotel “A”. For instance, in terms of ritual performance, there is a company culture of working overtime. Additionally, in terms of passion performance, the abundance of job tasks in the in-room dining division diminishes the manager's focus, especially for unexperienced leader in a similar divisions. Social performance shows the existence of factions within the organization but with no significant impact on operations. Political performance manifests as a sense of superiority over certain groups (seniority). Lastly, enculturation performance indicates differences in training between staff levels and daily workers, creating clearer disparities. All of these issues stem from the inadequate communication performance in the in-room dining division at Hotel “A”. If left unaddressed, they may lead to demotivation, a decline in work ethic, and feelings of saturation among employees, ultimately impacting the formation of the company's culture. The researcher suggests that management and Human Resources collaborate to address these issues, fostering open communication and welcoming input to establish positive organizational culture.

Published: October 2024

Among various forest management activities, thinning is a prevalent treatment that affects tree growth and living biomass. Increased moisture and light availability may also enhance the mineralization of litter and dead wood organic matter, impacting soil carbon stocks. Thinning may also affect the services forests provide, including water production and nutrient cycling. The impacts of thinning on water yield and carbon stocks have been well documented around the globe while targeting mainly one of these ecosystem services. Our experimental paired catchment study covers both and puts forward long term results. We assessed the carbon stock changes caused by two slight thinning treatments together with the impacts on water yield in experimental paired catchments of 71.9 (W–I) and 77.5 hectares (W–IV) in Istanbul, Türkiye. The null hypothesis was that the slight thinnings did not affect the water yield and carbon stocks significantly. On the carbon stock part, we calibrated and parametrized the CBM–CF3 model with field measurements to simulate changes in carbon stocks of mixed deciduous forest stands. The intensities of the treatments (thinnings) were 11% and 18% of the basal area, performed in 1986 and 2011, respectively. We found that, while C stocks decreased by around 30 tons per hectare during the 1986–2020 period, the water yield was enhanced by approximately 25 mm/yr in the treatment catchment compared to the control watershed during the four-year post-treatment period. This amount of streamflow increase was around 10 percent of the average water yield of the catchments. It was concluded that there was a detectable increase in water yield during the following four years of the slight thinning treatments, while the reduction in abovegound carbon stocks continued for more than three decades.
A Procedure to Characterize Wood Pile Inventories at Roadside
Authors: Pilote Samuel , Beaudoin Daniel , Labelle Eric R.
Published: October 2024

Tracking roadside wood inventories is necessary for wood procurement. However, this operation is increasingly problematic due to the costs associated with reaching remote sites, labour shortage, and the methods providing limited information on the characteristics of the logs required for transport planning. To overcome these problems, an automated procedure has been developed in Arcmap to characterize individual wood pile inventories at roadside by using GPS points of forwarders, harvester production files, and the road network shape files. An inventory of the logs in the harvest area followed by a wood pile inventory at the roadside were made to evaluate how the procedure could trace logs from machine operating trail to predicted wood pile locations. The study was done at six harvest blocks in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region in the province of Quebec, Canada. The procedure was not able to differentiate individual wood piles and aggregated several piles into predicted unloading areas. Results indicated a similarity index of 72% to manually inventoried wood piles. The similarity index could be explained by the low percentage of inventoried unpredicted wood pile lengths (3%) and a high percentage of overpredicted wood pile lengths (27%). The positive allocation rate could not be assessed at the level of the individual piles. On the other hand, the procedure properly allocated 96% of the logs to unloading areas. With the level of precision obtained, the developed procedure could be beneficial for managing the transportation of wood at the level of the road segment since it provides all the dendrometric data of the logs available for transport without requiring human intervention in the forest.
Modelling Differently Defined Dominant Stand Diameters of Monospecific Forest Plantations
Authors: Stankova Tatiana , Ogana Friday N. , Dimitrova Proletka
Published: October 2024

Quadratic mean diameter is a widely used stand parameter present in the stand inventory summaries, while the top stand diameter is rarely reported in the literature, mainly in relation to dominant stand height. Since the dominant stand height is usually determined from the tree height-diameter curve of the stand, it is important how the top tree assemblage, used to estimate dominant diameter, is defined. The main objective of our study was to assess the bias between differently defined dominant diameter estimates for monospecific plantations of various species, to model the dominant diameter as a function of quadratic mean diameter and other relevant stand variables, and to estimate its goodness-of-fit in predicting dominant diameter and dominant height.We used data records gathered in sample plots in monospecific plantations of four tree species: Scots pine, Black pine, black locust and hybrid black poplar. We calculated the quadratic and arithmetic mean diameters of the 20% thickest trees in the plots, and the quadratic and arithmetic mean diameters of the trees, whose number corresponded to the 100 thickest trees per hectare. For each dataset, we analyzed the range and the distribution of the relative deviations calculated for each pair of dominant diameter estimates. For the Black pine plantations, regression models were developed for the two dominant diameter definitions, whose values differed most. Their goodness-of-fit was assessed from model efficiency and error statistics. The same model derivation procedure, applied to the Scots pine data, was followed by substitution of the predicted dominant diameter into a height-diameter model to assess the goodness-of-fit of the dominant height predictions.The differences between the arithmetic and quadratic means, estimated from the same subsample of trees, did not exceed 2% in all cases. However, dominant stand diameters calculated as averages of differently defined largest tree collectives differed by as much as 35%. Regardless of its definition, the dominant stand diameter was adequately predicted by a function of the quadratic mean diameter alone or considering stand basal area as a second predictor. The models showed very good accuracy of model efficiency above 0.92, average absolute error below 8%, with 90% of the relative errors less than 15%. The predicted dominant diameter value can be used in a height-diameter model to estimate with confidence the dominant stand height of a monospecific forest plantation, allowing the forecast of the stand attributes based on dominant trees when only average stand variables are known.

How Much Trust in Times of Distrust: National Courts, the ECJ and Criminal Cooperation in an Era of Rule-of-Law Backsliding

Trust is an essential prerequisite for cooperation between EU Member States and EU institutions and between the Member States. This is especially evident in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ). It is undisputable that national courts play a pivotal role in the EU legal order and that their role has become increasingly more prominent in the AFSJ, especially when it comes to the balancing of protection of fundamental rights with the principle of mutual trust. It is in this field that it has become clear that the quality of the rule of law in one EU Member State has strong implications and affects the rule of law and fundamental rights protection in other Member States. In this context, Polish judges sent numerous preliminary references asking the ECJ whether judicial independence is still guaranteed in Poland. Similarly, national courts in other Member States, such as the Netherlands or Ireland, referred multiple questions to Luxembourg in essence asking various times whether the automaticity required by the principle of mutual trust can be maintained in the EU in the light of rule-of-law backsliding and erosion of judicial independence. In this article two different dimensions of trust – that is, the principle of mutual trust and the trust of national courts in the ECJ – are combined to address the question of the extent to which national courts trust the ECJ in relation to preliminary rulings that affect the operation of the principle of mutual trust with respect to the independence of the judiciary.

Transformación digital, feminismo y antifeminismo en el tercer entorno
Authors: Garzón Costumero Xandra , Roldán Concha
Published: October 2024

En las últimas décadas hemos asistido a un desarrollo creciente del mundo digital, lo que inevitablemente ha contribuido a modificar nuestras sociedades occidentales. En el presente artículo analizaremos desde una perspectiva feminista la realidad digital en que estamos inmersos, que modifica inexorablemente nuestra percepción de las cosas, nuestra capacidad de argumentación y, con ello, nuestra propia relación con los otros. La comunicación en redes tiende a simplificar la complejidad humana, a la vez que polariza de manera extrema las opiniones, apelando a nuestras emociones más bajas. Esto está haciendo que cambie también el propio sentido de los denominados «movimientos sociales», que a finales del siglo pasado contribuyeran a democratizar nuestras sociedades, haciendo que renazca una ideología conservadora extrema. Nos centraremos en cómo el movimiento feminista y sus enemigos han aterrizado en este nuevo escenario, al hilo de tres aspectos concretos en los que, a nuestro entender, la digitalización incide de forma paradigmática: la machosfera, OnlyFans y el mundo del videojuego.

This research explores the transformative role of advanced technologies, particularly AI, machine learning (ML) and block chain, in the development of smart e-commerce solutions that enhance user experiences and operational efficiencies. It also explores how customized algorithms can improve customer engagement, boost conversion rates and encourage sustainable shopping practices. Additionally, the research investigates AI-driven solutions to encourage sustainable shopping behaviors and optimize shopping post-purchase experiences. Specifically, it aims to assess the impact of AI-based personalization algorithms, examine the trade-offs between data privacy and user experience and analyze AI's influence on consumer trust and decision-making processes. Primary data from surveys and interviews are supplemented with secondary data on customer behavior and sales metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of technologies like AI, machine learning and block chain in driving personalized, ethical and efficient e-commerce. A mixed-method research design, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, employed to capture insights from key stakeholders (e.g., consumers, developers and e-commerce managers) and assess the impact of smart e-commerce platforms on shopping behavior, trust and loyalty. Implementing the Agile Model, the research iteratively addresses system requirements, testing and deployment challenges to create a flexible, scalable solution. Key findings underscore the role of predictive modeling in inventory management, the ethical potential of sustainable product recommendations and the positive consumer responses to transparency initiatives. The study contributes valuable insights into the development of secure, personalized and ethical e-commerce platforms that align with modern consumer expectations for convenience and responsibility.
A omissão legislativa do estado e o impacto na dignidade da mulher: uma análise sobre a ausência de tipificação penal da violência obstétrica no Brasil

Published: October 2024

A violência obstétrica é uma forma de violência de gênero contra a mulher, que pode ocorrer durante o atendimento no pré-parto, parto e também no pós-parto. Tal violência se caracteriza por práticas desrespeitosas, humilhantes e abusivas, com potencial para causar sérias consequências à vida das parturientes. Diante desse contexto, o presente Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso tem como objetivo discutir o estado da arte sobre a violência obstétrica e sua relação com a dignidade da mulher, analisando a ausência de tipificação penal no Brasil e as implicações dessa lacuna legislativa. A omissão legislativa do Estado no enfrentamento da violência obstétrica gera diversas consequências que precisam ser conhecidas e debatidas, especialmente no que tange à proteção dos direitos das gestantes. A pesquisa adota a metodologia do trabalho jurídico, com abordagem qualitativa e de natureza documental e bibliográfica. Portanto, conclui-se que é urgente a necessidade de uma regulamentação mais específica para proteger as mulheres contra a violência obstétrica, promovendo uma assistência mais humanizada e garantindo o respeito aos seus direitos fundamentais.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa que emprega como método a pesquisa bibliográfica, resultando na proposta de uma sequência didática. A pesquisa mostrou que a interdisciplinaridade enriquece a aprendizagem, conectando conteúdos científicos com o cotidiano dos alunos, e facilita a compreensão por meio de textos multimodais, como quadrinhos e charges. A proposta de sequência didática visa integrar Ciências, Língua Portuguesa e Arte para desenvolver habilidades críticas, linguísticas e artísticas, promovendo um ensino mais significativo. Conclui-se, portanto, que a prática interdisciplinar ajuda a preparar os alunos para os desafios do mundo contemporâneo, ao fortalecer sua capacidade de análise crítica e expressividade, além de proporcionar uma aprendizagem contextualizada e conectada à realidade.
A atuação do psicólogo no cuidado à saúde mental em mulheres imigrantes
Authors: Sousa Solange Pereira de , Louisia Wideline
Published: October 2024

A importância da psicologia na atenção à saúde mental de mulheres imigrantes se dá a partir do contexto de imigração vivenciado no Brasil. Normalmente essas mulheres ficam em instituições coletivas que operam dentro de um espaço contido (Müller; Marieh; Gulond, 2022). Esse contexto se torna importante, pois é identificado que as mulheres imigrantes constituem uma população variada cujas necessidades de saúde e vulnerabilidade potencial deve ser cuidadosamente analisada para distingui-las das características tipicamente ligadas à imigração. Esse processo envolve problemas sociais e psicologicamente distintos da vivência e do cotidiano de pessoas em seus países naturais. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho é compreender a atuação do psicólogo no cuidado da saúde mental em mulheres imigrantes no Brasil. Metodologicamente, utilizamos a pesquisa com abordagem de revisão bibliográfica. Ao concluir o trabalho, constatou-se que a ausência de políticas públicas de atenção às mulheres em situação imigratória são escassas e necessitam de mais efetivação para que sejam feitas intervenções.
As perspectivas de pacientes na indicação de cuidados paliativos

Objetivo: Investigar estudos que tratem das perspectivas de pacientes com necessidades de cuidados paliativos. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, em que a busca foi realizada na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), utilizando como critério de inclusão, os estudos em língua portuguesa e espanhola publicados nos últimos 15 anos, que tratem diretamente do tema. Resultados: a busca resultou em 683 estudos, após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, foram reduzidos a 100 artigos e ao passarem por análise de conteúdo, resultaram em 09 artigos que compuseram a amostra desse estudo. Discussões: A comunicação profissional de saúde-paciente deve ser clara e estabelecer além dos critérios de objetividade, um canal aberto para dúvidas e demais esclarecimentos, uma vez que ao receber o diagnóstico, o paciente comumente tende a negação e posteriormente buscam em suas redes de apoio, um conforto, onde estabelecem um nível de aceitação, seja através da fé no divino, no seio familiar ou da ideia de viver de forma intensa seus últimos dias. Considerações Finais: A aceitação do diagnóstico terminal é um processo delicado e necessita de profissionais capacitados para seu manejo, com formação suficiente para entender a autonomia do paciente e sua individualidade no enfrentamento do diagnóstico.
