Abstract This article aims to know the perception of women on obstetric violence from a racial perspective. This was a qualitative study carried out in a public maternity hospital with 25 women in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participant observation from November 2021 to February 2022. Content analysis was used to organize the data obtained through the interviews. The results were analyzed through the theoretical contributions of intersectionality, focusing on the interaction between obstetric violence and obstetric racism. The narratives discuss issues of obstetric violence, institutional racism, and how these experiences are permeated by issues of race, gender, and class. Questions related to the feelings of these women regarding the experience of violence at the time of childbirth care were also highlighted. Obstetric racism denies reproductive rights and hinders access to respectful and equitable care for black women.

Abstract The objective was to analyze the spatial distribution of pregnancy in children under 14 years and six months by Brazilian region and municipality and sociodemographic and health characteristics of pregnant women and live births. Ecological study analyzing the Live Birth Information System (SINASC) from 2011 to 2021 in three age groups (< 14 years and six months, 15-19 years, and 20 years and above) by demographic and birth variables. We applied the Global and Local Moran. A total of 127,022 live births to girls aged 10-14 years were identified during the period, most of whom were Black, 21.1% in common-law or married relationships, with a lower proportion of seven prenatal care appointments and enrollment in the first trimester, a higher proportion of low birth weight and low Apgar score, residing in the North and Northeast. The mean live birth rate for 10-to-14-year-old girls was significantly autocorrelated with space, especially in municipalities of the Midwest and North. Pregnancy from 10 to 14 years of age reveals several vulnerabilities suffered by these girls due to pregnancy at an early age, which is more common among Black women, with implications for morbimortality for them and their children and the presumed violence in these cases, including denied access to legal abortion.

Published: August 2024

Resumo Buscou-se investigar as percepções das vítimas indiretas, ou familiares de vítimas de homicídio, sobre as repercussões dessa morte em sua saúde. Fez-se um estudo qualitativo, exploratório, descritivo, a partir de oito entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas com dois grupos: familiares de agentes policiais vitimados por violência letal, e familiares de pessoas mortas em decorrência de intervenção policial, aqui designada como homicídio. Ambos os grupos relataram a percepção de que sua saúde piorou após o homicídio, e mencionaram problemas de depressão, síndrome do pânico, insônia, problemas cardíacos e distúrbios alimentares. Destacaram ainda a aquisição de hábitos danosos à saúde, como consumo de bebidas alcoólicas, tabaco e automedicação, e o agravamento de problemas de saúde pré-existentes. Observou-se que o homicídio praticado e sofrido por agentes policiais afeta vários aspectos da vida das vítimas indiretas que são indissociáveis das questões de saúde em sentido ampliado. Essas pessoas também são vítimas dessa violência, embora muitas vezes tenham seu sofrimento invisibilizado. Estudar o tema contribui para dar espaço ao sofrimento e ao luto, e para subsidiar a melhor atuação das instituições e serviços envolvidos.

Published: August 2024

Abstract The health sector can contribute to the combat of violence against women, if its services offer qualified care, but there are challenges such as the lack of health professional qualification, even though it is provided in the National Policy to Combat Violence Against Women. This study aims to analyze how health workers have been qualified to act in the prevention and confrontation of violence against women in Brazil. An integrative literature review was made and sixteen articles were analyzed, addressing training trajectories and experience reports, both in the academic and the health service context. The training on this theme proved to be insufficient, which could lead to missed opportunities for detection, care and referral of these cases to the health sector or others related to the care network. Reports on educational experiences were identified in degree courses and in Primary Health Care services, which could boost future educational processes, a need reaffirmed in all the articles. The university, in collaboration with the Unified Health System (SUS), can contribute with reflective, participatory educational processes that consider the social complexity of violence against women.
Impacto das microfibras de polipropileno na tenacidade e ductilidade do solo-cimento autoadensável
Authors: Milani Ana Paula da Silva , Nagata Robson Raruo
Published: August 2024

RESUMO O solo-cimento depende do melhoramento das suas características para garantir adequado desempenho como sistema construtivo. Diante disto, este estudo partiu do solo-cimento autoadensável com aditivo superplastificante e microfibras de polipropileno (SCAAF) para analisar a influência destas adições no comportamento frágil do compósito. Para tal, foram selecionadas misturas de SCAAF com potencial uso em paredes e aplicado os ensaios de compressão axial, de flexão por 4 pontos e de variação dimensional. Os resultados mostraram que a adição da microfibra no SCAAF aumentou a incorporação de ar, diminuiu a massa específica aparente seca e foi ineficaz no controle da retração linear durante a secagem. Por consequência, afetou negativamente à resistência à compressão simples e à flexão; e a ductilidade foi prejudicada pela baixa capacidade de ancoragem da matriz cimentícia as fibras. No entanto, foi relevante o uso da microfibra para o estado pós-fissuração do SCAAF, pois aumentou a tenacidade e reduziu a fragilidade do compósito. O SCAAF caracterizou-se como material isotrópico, com capacidade de lançamento e conformação adequados para aplicação em paredes monolíticas sem a necessidade de adensamento, alcançando aos 28 dias de idade valores de resistência à compressão simples e à flexão, respectivamente, na ordem de 4,5 MPa e 1,4 MPa.

ABSTRACT In Veterinary Medicine, diseases restricted to the gallbladder (GB) are uncommon in dogs. The histopathological examination of GB is considered the gold standard. However, abdominal ultrasound examination is increasingly included in the veterinary clinical routine, as it allows changes in previously underdiagnosed GB to have a more accurate diagnosis. The aim of this study was to identify, quantify and correlate the different aspects of GB in dogs through ultrasound and histopathological examinations. The GB of 60 dog cadavers were evaluated, without predilection for sex, age, and breed. The results demonstrated that the ultrasound examination, when compared to the histopathological examination, presented 83% agreement in the analysis of general data for the presence or absence of GB changes. The level of agreement in the Kappa test was considerably high (K=0.63). There was a high agreement in the diagnosis of changes observed by ultrasound and histopathological examinations, when compared “affected” or “non affected”. However, when compared the findings of mucocele, cystic mucinous hyperplasia and cholecystitis, there is a low Kappa agreement. Thus, ultrasound examination is an excellent tool for identifying changes related to the GB. However, more studies must be carried out to deepen the understanding of the correlation between imaging and pathological findings to lead diagnostic conclusions.

ABSTRACT Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) is a congenital genetic defect primarily found in Collie dogs but occasionally in other breeds. Its significance lies in its genetic implications for breeding in predisposed breeds. Diagnosing CEA can be challenging and relies on clinical history, epidemiological data, clinical and ophthalmological examinations, and ocular ultrasonography to assess the extent of damage and prognosis. This article presents a case of CEA in a 6-month-old Border Collie dog who exhibited reduced vision and acute hyphema. The condition was diagnosed through direct ophthalmoscopy and ocular ultrasonography

ABSTRACT The objective of this retrospective study was to determine whether blood lactate (BL) and peritoneal lactate (PL) are correlated with heart rate, BL-to-PL ratio and dehydration severity in horses with colic that died within or survived beyond 24 hours of hospital admission, and to construct decision trees aimed at predicting short-term mortality using machine learning algorithms. Medical records (n = 339) from the database of the Veterinary Hospital of the School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, University of São Paulo (FMVZ-USP) of horses admitted with colic were retrieved. Correlations between variables of interest were investigated using the Pearson’s or the Spearman’s correlation coefficient. The level of significance was set at 5% (p<0.05). Algorithms used belong to the WEKA environment and were compared using the paired t test (p<0.05). Peritoneal lactate values were strongly and negatively (p<0.05) correlated with BL:PL ratio, and moderately and positively (p<0.05) correlated with percentage of dehydration. Two decision trees with more than 80% accuracy in predicting mortality were constructed and can be used to inform clinicians about the probability of survival beyond the first 24 hours of hospitalization.

ABSTRACT Among marine creatures including squids, cephalopods and Octopus, one of the most unique features is production of ink which is an extremely valuable source of pharmaceuticals. The current study investigates the ink produced from Octopus vulgaris chemically as well as its potential antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, and anti-schistosomal activities in vitro. Twenty-one different compounds were identified by GC-MS analysis of Octopus vulgaris ink. Results revealed that O. vulgaris ink had antioxidant capability to cover DPPH free radical when compared to ascorbic acid. Moreover, Octopus vulgaris ink exhibited antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis followed by Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeuroginosa and exhibited a molluscicidal activity against adult Biomphalaria alexandrina snails and had a distinguished mortal effect on free larval phases of Schistosoma mansoni. Furthermore, its anticancer activity was confirmed, where IC50 value of breast cancer cell line MCF-7, human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCT) and human liver cancer cell line (HepG2) were 29.8, 38.29 and 30.38μg/mL, respectively. In conclusion, ink extracted from O. vulgaris may be considered as source of valuable compounds that can be used as molluscicidal, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anticancer and anti-schistosomal agents.
A democracia na América: perspectivas francesas sobre o governo de Andrew Jackson nos Estados Unidos da década de 1830
Authors: Santos Junior Valdir Donizete dos
Published: August 2024

RESUMO Michel Chevalier esteve nos Estados Unidos em viagem oficial, enviado pelo governo francês, no início da década de 1830, ali encontrando, assim como seu contemporâneo Alexis de Tocqueville, um quadro de intensos debates em torno do conceito de “democracia”, à época bastante mobilizado pelo então presidente Andrew Jackson (1829-1837). Embora exaltasse o “homem comum”, a “era de Jackson” era caracterizada pela expansão da escravidão nos Estados do Sul e no Oeste e por uma política violenta em relação aos indígenas. Essa “democracia” dos “homens brancos” inspirou a reflexão não somente acerca da política na república estadunidense, mas forneceu material para a análise das sociedades europeias da primeira metade do século XIX. Isto posto, este artigo tem por objetivo discutir a interpretação de Chevalier do conceito de “democracia” estadunidense, sem perder de vista seu diálogo com as abordagens de Tocqueville.

ABSTRACT Potatoes are one of the main vegetables consumed worldwide. However, dependence on mineral fertilizers compromises producers’ profitability. New alternatives are required to increase agricultural crop yield while sustaining production. Vegetation indices have improved the agility and benefits of experimental evaluations of vegetables; however, there is a scarcity of information on potatoes. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the effectiveness of different vegetation indices for monitoring the agronomic performance of potato crops fertilized with a combination of mineral fertilizers and organic compost. The study was conducted in the municipality of Perdizes, Minas Gerais, Brazil. A randomized block design was used. Each plot was divided into five subplots that received 25 combinations of mineral and organic fertilizer treatments in four replications. Images were acquired using a remote-piloted aircraft, which generated spectral values of vegetation indices in relation to various combinations of fertilizer doses. Mineral fertilizer doses significantly correlated with the normalized green-red difference index (NGRDI), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and green leaf index (GLI) at r = 0.824, 0.836, and 0.833, respectively. Even in an environment with high variability in plant growth, the NGRDI, NDVI, and GLI were significantly correlated with mineral fertilization. The agronomic performance of potato crops under various fertilizer dosages could be monitored using the obtained vegetation indices.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to conduct a meta-analysis (MA) of systematic review data on poultry litter biochar (PLB) to answer the following questions: (i) What are the major studies regarding this worldwide? (ii) Which soil chemical attributes are the most affected? and (iii) Does PLB improve soil quality and crop productivity? MA revealed that the application of PLB significantly changed several key soil attributes, including pH, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and nitrogen, carbon, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and aluminum content. Specifically, MA showed that PLB decreased Al3+ in the soil by 71% while increasing pH, N, C, and CEC by 16, 20, 36, and 82%, respectively. This significant increase in CEC was associated with the addition of Ca2+, Mg2+, and K+ cations by 43, 202, and 636%, respectively. It was verified that PLB serves a dual function: it corrects soil acidity and pH while also enhancing the content of key nutrients, such as C and N. This study broadens the understanding of the potential of reusing poultry litter in biochar production, offering valuable data for developing strategies to improve both soil health and fertility.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT The global increase in the aging population has raised concerns over various age-related conditions like dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and their consequences on the affected persons. People with MCI exhibit cognitive deficits more significantly than expected for their age and literacy level. Though the nature of this condition is considered "mild", studies have reported that even more subtle deficits can influence the quality of life (QOL). Objective: The present work aimed at exploring and comparing QOL in older adults with and without MCI through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: After a detailed search of articles till May 2021 in the relevant electronic databases (PubMed Central, PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Cochrane) using the keywords "mild cognitive impairment", "quality of life", "old", "old aged", "aged", "older adult", "geriatrics", "healthy controls", "healthy participants", and "normal controls", we included 23 articles in the systematic review and 12 in the meta-analysis. Results: The quality of all the included articles were assessed using the Modified Downs and Black tool. Most of the studies in the systematic review demonstrated differences in QOL scores in older adults with MCI compared to healthy older adults. However, meta-analysis findings suggest that older adults with MCI had statistically non-significant yet lower differences in QOL compared to their healthy counterparts. Conclusion: Future research should focus on developing QOL assessment tools specifically for older adults with MCI and follow-up studies that could provide better knowledge of their changing cognitive profile and life quality.

The concept of formacting from the perspective of Paulo Freire
Authors: Muraro Darcisio Natal
Published: August 2024

Abstract This work seeks to develop the concept of formacting supported by the concept of dialogue as a basis for the ethics and politics of liberation from Freire's perspective. The objective is to conceptualize formacting to think a dialogical, problematizing, democratic, and liberating education, recreating the concept of whattodo by Freire. The methodology is bibliographic, based on a philosophical perspective of analyzing and reconstructing concepts based on Freire's works. As a result, formacting connotes liberating praxis as a process of being more in search of what one is not, breaking with the oppressive being. The dialogical formacting allows us to think of the ethics and politics of education as liberation and growth of the democratic way of life.
Fundação Itaú Social, Renaissance 2010, desigualdades e segregação: análise crítica da aplicação do modelo educacional estadunidense no Brasil
Authors: Moimaz Rodolfo Soares
Published: August 2024

Resumo Este artigo realiza uma análise crítica dos projetos defendidos por organizações empresariais que propõem políticas públicas de educação no Brasil (no caso, a Fundação Itaú Social [FIS]). Para tal, o texto apresenta, a partir de documentos assinados pela FIS, como esta instituição defende que medidas implementadas nos Estados Unidos (como o Renaissance 2010 de Chicago) sirvam de modelo para o país. Em seguida, a partir de dados quantitativos e qualitativos, decorrentes de levantamento bibliográfico em fontes primárias e secundárias no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos, o trabalho discute alguns resultados desses projetos em seu local de origem (especialmente Chicago). Assim, será demonstrado como, ao contrário do que indicam seus proponentes, tais diretrizes podem ser relacionadas à manutenção e ao agravamento de problemas sociais, como a segregação racial. Por fim, o artigo mostra que, apesar de essas reformas serem apresentadas como expressão de um consenso social, nos Estados Unidos, as comunidades escolares têm protagonizado intensas mobilizações contra elas. Portanto, considerando tal cenário, o texto reflete como a insistência na manutenção de tais projetos não é justificável por dados, mas pelo interesse político e econômico do capital e suas instituições.
Itaú Social Foundation, Renaissance 2010, inequalities and segregation: critical analysis of the application of the US education model in Brazil
Authors: Moimaz Rodolfo Soares
Published: August 2024

Abstract This article performs a critical analysis of the projects advocated by business organizations that propose public education policies in Brazil (in this case, the Itaú Social Foundation). To this end, the article presents, based on documents signed by the FIS, how this institution defends that measures implemented in the U.S. (such as Chicago’s Renaissance 2010) serve as a model for the country. Then, based on quantitative and qualitative data, derived from bibliographic research in primary and secondary sources in Brazil and the USA, the paper discusses results of these projects in their place of origin (especially Chicago). Thus, it is shown how, contrary to what their proponents indicate, such guidelines can be related to the maintenance and worsening of social issues, such as racial segregation. Finally, the paper demonstrates that, despite these reforms being presented as the expression of a social consensus, in the USA, the school community has led intense mobilizations against them. Therefore, considering this scenario, the article reflects how the insistence on maintaining these guidelines is not justified by data, but by the political and economic interest of capital and its institutions.

Abstract Objective to discuss issues related to the concept of digital health, and how the area of health has been associated with technological evolution and new paradigms for care, in the light of some contemporary philosophical thinkers. Method this is a theoretical-philosophical essay. Results Michel Foucault highlighted the role of power structures in digital health, warning of the potential for surveillance and social control. On the other hand, Pierre Lévy and Mário Bunge emphasize the importance of technology in nursing, highlighting its benefits and challenges in the search for appropriate and ethical solutions. Final considerations and implications for practice digital health emerges as a land of conflicts and possibilities, in which technological advances bring both transformative potential and risks to privacy, autonomy, and quality of care. The philosophical approach is essential to question technological development in health, especially in nursing, in an ethical, profound, and conscious way.

Published: August 2024

RESUMO Esta pesquisa propõe um algoritmo abrangente de aprendizado profundo para compreender o papel das redes sociais na percepção do consumidor em relação ao consumo sustentável. Após o surgimento da Covid-19, a sociedade tem apresentado um foco maior sobre a relação entre as pessoas e a natureza. Alcançar os objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável requer a promoção do consumo verde, o que exige compreender e influenciar as atitudes públicas em relação à sustentabilidade. Enquanto estudos anteriores exploraram o consumo sustentável usando modelos comportamentais e pesquisas, muitas vezes negligenciaram a perspectiva das redes sociais. Utilizando técnicas de aprendizado profundo, este estudo visa analisar dados das redes sociais, incluindo conteúdo de texto e vídeo, para obter insights sobre o comportamento e preferências do consumidor. O estudo envolve a coleta de dados do X (antigo Twitter) e do YouTube, o desenvolvimento de algoritmos de aprendizado profundo para classificação de texto e a criação de um sistema de visualização e relatório. Mais especificamente, este estudo visa analisar o impacto do compartilhamento de informações nas redes sociais nas intenções de compra sustentável da sociedade e propor arquiteturas avançadas para mineração de texto, especificamente o método LDA. Este estudo destaca os insights obtidos da análise do discurso das redes sociais sobre o consumo sustentável. Tendências, atitudes emocionais e engajamento foram examinados usando mineração de texto e análise de sentimento. O estudo revela diferenças específicas da plataforma no sentimento e identifica palavraschave e frases influentes. A análise também revela respostas emocionais e fatores-chave associados ao discurso sobre consumo sustentável. Os resultados podem apoiar na construção de futuras estratégias para promover o consumo sustentável. O estudo conclui enfatizando a importância de pesquisas adicionais para explorar as discrepâncias entre as plataformas e aproveitar as implicações dessas descobertas para estratégias de consumo sustentável.
Soy protein isolate–based gel polymer electrolyte for flexible solid-state supercapacitor
Authors: Hou Pu , Xun Zhiyu , Zhang Jiuzhou , Liu Yang , Huo Pengfei , Gao Zhenhua
Published: August 2024

At present, the polymer matrices of most polymer electrolytes are derived from petroleum-based synthetic polymers. Herein, sustainable and renewable soy protein isolate (SPI) was grafted with methacrylic acid (MAA) and then cross-linked by ring-opening reaction with polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether as cross-linking agent to obtain a biomass-based polymer electrolyte. Results show that when the added amount of MAA is twice the quality of SPI, gel polymer electrolyte displays the best comprehensive properties and presents the highest ionic conductivity of 5.24 × 10−3 S/cm. The flexible supercapacitor was fabricated by using SPI-based gel polymer electrolyte with activated carbon electrodes, which exhibited excellent specific capacitance (128.63 F/g) and energy density (9.52 Wh/kg) at 0.5 A/g with a decent capacitance retention of 93% after 5000 charge–discharge cycles. It can be ascribed that grafting modification of SPI improves the interface performance of electrode–polymer electrolyte. Furthermore, potassium iodide is introduced to form a redox polymer electrolyte to achieve a high-energy-density supercapacitor, which provides outstanding energy density of 24.40 Wh/kg at 1.0 A/g. This work demonstrates that sustainable and renewable biomass can be converted into matrix of polymer electrolyte for high performance supercapacitor based on aqueous polymer electrolyte.

An Overview of the Roles and Functions of Selected Financial Role Players to Protect Financial Stability and Promote Market Integrity in South Africa
Authors: Chitimira Howard , Munedzi Sharon
Published: August 2024

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) and other financial role players such as the Prudential Authority (PA), the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), the National Credit Regulator (NCR), the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC), the Financial Stability Oversight Committee (FSOC), the Financial Sector Contingency Forum (FSCF), the Financial Sector Council of Regulators (FSCR) and the Financial Sector Inter-Ministerial Council (FSIC) play a significant role in the protection and promotion of financial stability and market integrity in South Africa. The SARB has the primary financial stability mandate, whilst the FSCA was established to primarily promote market integrity and enhance market efficiency through protecting and promoting the fair treatment of financial customers and promoting financial literacy programs. As technology advances and new players enter the market, traditional financial institutions are faced with increased competition and the need to adapt and innovate to stay relevant. In this regard, regulatory frameworks and the functions of regulatory bodies should be constantly reviewed to conform to financial technology (fintech) developments and safeguard consumer interests. This article examines the roles and functions of the aforementioned financial role players as regulated by the Financial Sector Regulation Act (FSR Act) and other relevant financial sector laws. This is done to evaluate the effectiveness of their roles and functions to protect and promote financial stability and market integrity in line with fintech and Artificial Intelligence (AI) developments. The paper also evaluates the importance of cooperation and collaboration between the financial role players to fulfil their roles and functions.
NEBNext® Poly(A) mRNA Magnetic Isolation Module NEB #E7490S/L (Standard Protocol) v1
Authors: Gautreau Isabel
Published: August 2024

The NEBNext Poly(A) mRNA Magnetic Isolation Module is designed to isolate intact poly(A)+ RNA from previously isolated total RNA. The technology is based on the coupling of Oligo d(T)25 to 1 μm paramagnetic beads which is then used as the solid support for the direct binding of poly(A)+ RNA. Thus, the procedure permits the manual processing of multiple samples and can be adapted for automated high-throughput applications. Additionally, magnetic separation technology permits elution of intact mRNA in small volumes eliminating the need for precipitating the poly(A)+ transcripts in the eluent. Intact poly(A)+ RNA which is fully representative of the mRNA population of the original sample can be obtained in less than one hour. The new protocol for poly(A) mRNA enrichment (Section 1, Express Protocol) enables comparable performance to our current protocol (Section 2, Standard Protocol) using a substantially faster and more streamlined workflow.

Introduction Proximal carpal row resection has been used for many decades as a “salvage procedure” for progressive wrist collapse. Improving the technique of its implementation, as well as introducing various modifications of the technique into practice are an important area for achieving better results of surgical treatment.

The purpose of this work was to demonstrate aspects of the modified proximal row carpectomy (PRC) technique and the immediate results of its use.

Materials and methods Eight patients aged from 24 to 57 years (seven men and one woman) were treated with the modified PRC technique. Treatment results were assessed using an adapted QuickDASH questionnaire, a visual analogue scale (VAS), based on patient satisfaction and radiographic results.

Results The average duration of surgical intervention was (149.0 ± 35.5) minutes. In the postoperative period, six patients (75 %) underwent fixation with an Ilizarov apparatus, the rest with a plaster splint. The average range of motion of flexion and extension was (67.5 ± 18.3)°, range: 40–95°. The patients had an average of (35.6 ± 16.13)° extension, range: 10–65° and (31.87 ± 10.9)° flexion, range: 10–45°. Patients reported decreased grip strength after surgery. Pain syndrome according to VAS at rest was equal to 0–1 points and 3–4 points when the affected limb was loaded. Six patients completed the QuickDASH survey, with a mean score of (14.83 ± 4.25) points. All patients are satisfied with the result of treatment and the absence of pain at rest. Patients returned to their usual work.

Discussion Unlike the conventional dorsal approach through the III–IV tendon canals, the use of two mini-approaches provides a better cosmetic effect and makes it easier to restore the integrity of the tendon canals, which are important for the prevention of desmogenic contractures. The use of the Ilizarov apparatus has proven to be the method of choice, providing absolute stability and reduction of pain in the postoperative period. For patients under 45 years of age with increased functional demands, a balanced approach is required when choosing PRC or intercarpal arthrodesis, depending on which functional parameters are more important to the patient.

Conclusion The analysis of short-term results of using the modified PRC technique shows that it reduces the invasiveness of the operation, improves its esthetic result, provides pain relief and a satisfactory range of motion and grip strength.

Extramarital-children refer to children who are born outside the marriage. The position extramarital-children are legally vulnerable and therefore needs attention. The Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU- VIII/2010 recognizes the legal status of extramarital children against their biological fathers as long as their genetic relationship can be proven by way of DNA testing and supported with other evidence. This study aims to examine the inheritance right of the extramarital-children, especially after the issuance of the mentioned Constitutional Court Decision. This normative legal research employs statutory, case and comparative approaches.  Although the focus of this study is more on the legal development in Indonesia, however, this paper also provides a comparative analysis with some other countries, especially with regard to the utilization of the DNA Testing for legal purposes. The results show that the Constitutional Court Decision No. 46/PUU-VII/2020 does not address the inheritance right of extramarital-children and therefore they cannot inherit each other from their biological fathers. In regard to inheritance, this issue will be referred to the existing law of inheritance.
RELACIONES ENTRE FALANGE, FASCISMO Y NAZISMO EN ESPAÑA A OJOS DE LA IGLESIA CATÓLICA, 1933–1939
Authors: Morant i Ariño Toni
Published: August 2024

Desde su fundación en octubre de 1933, Falange Española tomó como referencias a los principales movimientos fascistas de la Europa del momento: la Italia fascista y la Alemania nazi. Durante la guerra civil, la Iglesia católica (tanto sus jerarquías en España como el propio Vaticano) pasó a observar de cerca la evolución del fascismo español, convertido pronto en el partido único de la dictadura franquista. Pese a que Falange reconocía el peso de la tradición católica en la historia de España, la mirada eclesiástica mostró una creciente preocupación por su carácter de religión secular, su encuadramiento de jóvenes y mujeres en la España franquista y, en especial, sus estrechas relaciones con la Alemania nazi. El presente artículo analiza la mirada católica al fascismo español durante la década de 1930, desde su fundación hasta el final de la guerra civil.

Published: August 2024

South Korea has a declining school-age population due to a low birth rate of 0.78, which is causing major changes in the university environment. Meanwhile, the government is evaluating the management and operation status of universities through structural reforms and inducing autonomous development of universities through financial support. However, the survival of universities is becoming a serious issue due to the lack of freshman enrollment, which started from local universities, and there are cases of universities closing down because of difficulties to operate due to decreased funding. Therefore, this study reviews the existing cases of closed universities, the government's university structural reform policies, and examines the problems of the school-age population that may appear in Korea in the future. Then, the negative effects of university closure on students, faculty, and school corporations are examined. Based on this, the purpose of this study is to propose government support measures to protect students, faculty and staff, and school corporations by examining system improvement measures related to school corporations.

Published: August 2024

The purpose of this study is to explore how elementary schools operate a student agency based curriculum through the implementation of the Learning Compass program. Student agency is attracting attention as a value that allows students to actively respond to the uncertainty, complexity, and rapid change that humanity may experience in future society. Recently, research on student agency has been actively conducted in Korea, but there is a lack of action research that includes efforts to foster student agency within the elementary school curriculum. This study observed how education to improve student agency, which is attracting attention during the entry into the future society and curriculum transition, is developed and applied to the elementary school curriculum. Within this, the activities and changes shown by teachers and students were analyzed through teacher action research. As a result, 'teacher agency' that led to the development of the Learning Compass program, 'teaching innovation' represented by one classroom with two teachers and student-led curriculum evaluation, ‘Innovation in teaching and learning methods’ represented by waiting for immersion and creating chunks of thought, The form of ‘class reflection’, represented by the discovery of the power of deliberation, was found in the student agency based curriculum.
