STRATEGI PENYELESAIAN KONFLIK DALAM ORGANISASI
Authors: Mantra Gede Putu
Published: May 2024

Keberadaan konflik dalam organisasi tidak dapat dihindarkan, konflik selalu hadir pada setiap kehidupan organisasi, baik organisasi kecil maupun organisasi bersekala besar. Hal ini terjadi, karena di satu sisi individu-individu/kelompok-kelompok yang terlibat dalam organisasi mempunyai karakter, latarbelakang dan tujuan, yang berbeda-beda. Di sisi lain adanya saling ketergantungan antara satu dengan yang lain menjadi ciri setiap kehidupan organisasi. Faktor-faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi terjadinya konflik dalam lingkungan kerja organisasi antara lain adanya perbedaan persepsi, keterbatasan sumber daya, departementalisasi, interdepedensi, hubungan kewenangan, peran dan harapan serta ambiguitas yurisdiksi. Tidak semua konflik merugikan organisasi, konflik yang ditata dan dikelola dengan baik akan dapat menguntungkan organisasi sebagai suatu kesatuan. Menata konflik dalam organisasi diperlukan keterbukaan, kesabaran serta kesadaran semua pihak yang terlibat maupun pihak yang berkepentingan terhadap konflik yang terjadi dalam organisasi. Beberapa cara yang sering dipergunakan dalam penanganan konflik yang terjadi di lingkungan organisasi, antara lain dengan cara: dominasi,  kompromi, dan pemecahan secara integrative.

The impact of biomedical and information technologies on women's social roles
Authors: Karas' Nikolai Mikhailovich
Published: May 2024

The article examines the possibility of crisis phenomena in society as a result of the leveling of social roles caused by the development of biotechnologies, in particular reproductive and information technologies. In particular, the issues of changing women's social roles under the influence of ART (assisted reproductive technologies) are studied in the article in the context of the philosophy and gender. The author examines in detail the various forms of influence of technological inventions on social roles. Special attention is paid to the importance of preserving the social roles of parents for society. The need to maintain a special bond between parents and children, expressed in traditional social roles, is emphasized. Denial of social roles can cast doubt on belonging to humanity. The author pays special attention to the identity transmitted, in particular, through gender and social roles. The methodology is based on the study of currently known biotechnologies and information technologies, and a philosophical understanding of the impact of these technologies on the social structure of society. In the course of the work, a negative forecast was made: these trends may lead to the collapse of the social structure. The stabilizing role of women will gradually decrease, which will lead to a significant bias towards the male component of social roles. Also, new bioethics based on new reproductive technologies will gradually change social ties. Classical forms of social relations, such as the family, may die out. The author assumes that in the course of the gradual exclusion of women from the process of childbearing and reproduction of the population, society and social relations will be destroyed. The novelty of the research lies in the original focus of attention, in which the author examines the social roles of women in connection with the process of childbirth, as well as the perception of the social roles of women in the aspect of romantic relationships with a man.

This systematic review provides a detailed synthesis of existing research on the impact of smartphone use on cognitive processes. Adhering to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses principles, we performed a thorough search across many databases, which led to the identification of studies that satisfied our rigorous inclusion criteria. The results of our study demonstrate a notable association between the usage of smartphones and alterations in attention span, memory retrieval, and executive functioning. These findings emphasize the importance of raising awareness and implementing interventions to reduce negative cognitive effects linked to excessive smartphone usage.
Akinetic mutism following bilateral parasagittal meningioma occupied supplementary motor area removal and the spontaneous recovery of symptoms
Authors: Wangapakul Thitikan , Kayssi Abdel Raouf , Riley Ambar Elizabeth Moguel
Published: May 2024

Background:

Resection of bilateral parasagittal meningiomas of the dominant cortex is challenging. Some postoperative consequences are difficult to predict due to their low incidence. However, it is essential to recognize reversible symptoms. Akinetic mutism is a devastating but reversible symptom that occurs after supplementary motor area (SMA) injury. This report aims to provide more information to support the clinical progression of this syndrome.

Case Description:

A 47-year-old woman presented with psychomotor retardation and subtle weakness, particularly on the left side. A palpable mass was identified at the head vertex. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed bilateral parasagittal meningiomas with bone and sinus invasion of the SMA. A craniotomy was performed to remove the intracapsular tumor. Two days after the operation, the patient developed gradual deterioration in her motor function until it became a lock-in-like syndrome. Then, 1.5 months after treatment in the hospital and rehabilitation unit, she gradually improved her motor, cognitive, and psychomotor skills. Total recovery was achieved after 1 year.

Conclusion:

Surgery for lesions involving bilateral SMA can cause akinetic mutism. The typical manifestation of this syndrome may be devastating. However, it is reversible, and patients can regain full motor and cognitive functions over time without specific treatments. It is crucial to persevere and continue to provide the best care to the patient until recovery.
Association of limited dorsal myeloschizis and corpus callosum lipoma: A case report and literature review
Authors: El Marrakchi Malak , Zian Nahla , Hajhouji Farouk , Laghmari Mehdi , Ghannane Houssine , Jallo George , Benali Said Ait
Published: May 2024

Background:

Intracranial lipomas are a rare clinical entity. These lesions are frequently asymptomatic and originate in the pericallosal area. As they are fat-containing lesions which are intimately attached to the surrounding structures, surgery is not recommended. In some individual reports, subtotal resection is recommended to lessen complications. There have been no previous reports of corpus callosum lipoma (CCL) associated with limited dorsal myeloschizis (LDM).

Case Description:

We describe the case of a combination of CCL and bilateral choroid plexus lipoma discovered incidentally during the investigation of LDM in a 3-month-old male child. Given the asymptomatic behavior of the lipoma and the vascular elements of the pericallosal area, it was decided to monitor it regularly. Thus, the patient underwent surgery only for LDM. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis, and postoperative follow-up 1 year after showed good evolution. To the best of our knowledge, this association has never been described in the literature.

Conclusion:

This case suggests a possible developmental relationship between CCL and spinal dysraphism.
A comparison of two versus five epineural sutures to achieve successful polyethylene glycol (PEG) nerve fusion in a rat sciatic nerve repair model
Authors: Simon Andrew , Gilbert Grace Victoria , Fisher Alec Hayes , Johnsen Parker Hunt , Herb Brandon , Vega Sebastián L. , Bodofsky Elliot , Fuller David A.
Published: May 2024

Background:

We compared rates of successful polyethylene glycol (PEG) nerve fusion between two epineural suture repairs (2SR) and five epineural suture repairs (5SR) in a rat sciatic nerve transection neurorrhaphy model. We hypothesise that the two and five epineural neural suture repair groups will achieve a similar rate of PEG fusion.

Methods:

Twenty-five Lewis rats underwent bilateral sciatic nerve transection. Primary neurorrhaphy (PN) consisting of 2SR in one hind limb and 5SR in the contralateral hind limb was performed utilizing PEG fusion. Successful PEG fusion was confirmed by a distal muscle twitch after nerve stimulation proximal to the nerve fusion site. Sciatic nerve conduction velocity (SNCV) across the repair site and the force generated by tibialis anterior muscle (TAM) contraction were also compared between the 2SR and 5SR groups.

Results:

Success rates were 100% for the 2SR and the 5SR groups. No statistically significant differences in SNCV (P = 0.444) or isometric tetanic TAM contractile force (P = 0.820) were observed between 2SR and 5SR in the setting of PEG fusion.

Conclusion:

These findings demonstrate no significant difference in successful PEG fusion between the 2SR and 5SR groups. In addition, the findings demonstrate no statistically significant differences in SNCV or isometric tetanic TAM contractile force following sciatic nerve transection when performing a 2SR or 5SR PN in the setting of PEG fusion. Successful PEG fusion can be achieved acutely with either a two or five-epineural suture repair in a rat model.

Authors: Sabna Eka , Mitra Mitra
Published: May 2024

The death rate is an indicator of health status in society. One of these indicators is the Child Mortality Rate (CMR), which reflects environmental health conditions which directly influence children's health levels. The KMeans algorithm divides data into 3 groups (Clusters), namely Clusters 0, 1 and 2 to produce information on child mortality rates in all districts/cities in Indonesia. This modeling produces 3 clusters, namely cluster 0 (Districts/Cities with Medium Child Mortality Rates) with 124 Regencies/Cities, cluster 1 (Regency/Cities with High Child Mortality Rates) with 31 Regencies/Cities and cluster 2 (Regency/Cities with High Child Mortality Rates). Low Child Mortality) 391 Districts/Cities. This clustering produces a Davies Bouldin Index value of 0.493, the center point of Cluster 0 is 2.744, the center point of Cluster 1 is 6.185 and the center point of Cluster 2 is 13.756.

Authors: Shaban Tameh Maliheh , L. Gladfelter Wayne , Goodpaster Jason
Published: May 2024

Understanding the properties of the adsorbed oxygen species on the SnO2 surface is essential in describing the reaction mechanisms responsible for gas sensing applications. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to shed light on these mechanisms by exploring the energetics of molecular, atomic, and dissociative oxygen adsorption on various types of reduced, defective, and stoichiometric SnO2(110) surfaces. Charge analysis distinguished various forms of charged oxygen species on the surface. The calculations identified the existence of O_2^(2-), O_2^-, and O^(2-) on the reduced surface and O_2^(2-), O^-, and O^(2-) on the defective and the oxidized surfaces. The role of oxygen vacancies in recognizing the adsorption modes and relevant properties is demonstrated. The described electronic structure in this work supports experimental findings.
Assessment of Anharmonicities in Clusters: Developing and Validating a Minimum-Information Partition Function
Authors: Halonen Roope
Published: May 2024

Precise thermodynamic calculations are essential for understanding the dynamics of cluster systems and new particle formation. However, the widely employed harmonic statistical mechanical approach often falls short in terms of accuracy. In this study, we present an improved statistical model that incorporates vibrational anharmonicity via a novel partition function that requires only one additional system-specific input parameter. In addition to considering vibrational aspects, we also account for anharmonicity related to the configurational space. The role of anharmonicities is thoroughly examined in the case of general clusters, where the complete sets of conformers, mechanically stable spatial arrangements, are known up to clusters composed of 14 monomers. By performing consistent Monte Carlo simulations on these systems, we benchmark the statistical model's efficacy in reproducing key thermodynamic properties (formation free energy and potential energy) in the classical limit. The model exhibits exceptional alignment with simulations, accurately reproducing free energies within a precision of 2kT and reliably capturing cluster melting temperatures. Furthermore, we demonstrate the significance and applicability of the model by reproducing thermodynamic barriers in homogeneous gas-phase nucleation of larger clusters. The transferability of our developed approach extends to more complex molecular systems and bears relevance for atmospheric multicomponent clusters, in particular.

Published: May 2024

Carbon coating has been used to address the poor rate performance of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP) due to its low intrinsic electronic and ionic conductivities. Various processes have been developed to synthesize carbon coated LFP. However, most in situ strategies introduce carbon sources during synthesis, which can interact with the LFP growth process. In this work, we developed an ex situ carbon coating method by rapidly decomposing the precursors through flash Joule heating (FJH). A uniform, amorphous carbon layer was achieved on LFP by depositing carbon-heteroatom species in a confined space within 10 seconds. Simultaneously, different heteroatoms can be introduced into the surface carbon layer to facilitate a uniform cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI). LFP cathodes with fluorinated carbon coatings exhibited the highest capacity of 151 mAh g-1 at 0.2 C and 96 mAh g-1 at 10 C, indicating its excellent rate capability over commercial LFP (58 mAh g-1 at 10 C). A dense CEI layer with a thickness of 10 nm was observed during cycling, which effectively promotes electron and ion transport and restricts side reactions. This solvent-free, versatile cathode surface modification is shown for other cathode types, providing an efficient platform for electrode-electrolyte interphase engineering through a surface post-treatment.
Electrospinning as fascinating platform for teaching applied polymer science with safe and sustainable experiments
Authors: Noll Jessica , Leven Felix , Limberg Johannes , Weidmann Christoph , Ostermann Rainer
Published: May 2024

Electrospinning has been widely used as versatile technique to generate nanofibers of various materials. It is also helpful in teaching topics ranging from macromolecular chemistry to physics and safety to sustainability at various levels of difficulty and student involvement. Simple and safe hands-on experiments/manual assays can be realized for less than 20 euros to demonstrate polymer viscosity and nanofiber alignment and solubility. Students can further study (super)hydrophobicity and even upcycle packaging waste into useful filter materials, but also improve the electrospinning setup from a manual assay to an inexpensive Arduino-based 3D printed research platform. Alternatively, the latter can be used for teacher demonstrations of more challenging experiments that can also be easily done using a commercial syringe-pump.
Resonance Theory of Vibrational Strong Coupling Enhanced Polariton Chemistry
Authors: Ying Wenxiang , Huo Pengfei
Published: May 2024

We present a complete theory of vibrational strong coupling (VSC) modified rate constants in polariton chemistry when coupling a single molecule to an optical cavity. The analytic expression exhibits a sharp resonance behavior, where the maximum rate constant is reached when the cavity frequency matches the vibration frequency. The theory also explains why VSC rate constant modification closely resembles the optical spectra of the vibration outside the cavity. This analytic expression, together with our previous analytic rate expression under the lossy regime, provides a complete mechanistic picture for the VSC-enhanced rate constant in a simple double well reactive model system. Our analytic theory suggests that there will be a turnover of the rate constant as one changes the cavity lifetime, and the rate constant will first scale quadratically with respect to the light-matter coupling strength and then saturate. The analytic rate constants agree well with the numerically exact hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) simulations for all explored regimes. Further, we discussed the temperature dependence of the VSC-modified rate constants, where the analytic theory also agrees well with the numerical exact simulations. Finally, we discussed the resonance condition at the normal incidence when considering in-plane momentum inside a Fabry-P\'erot cavity.

Published: May 2024

Two-dimensional (2D) halide perovskites (HPs) are now an emerging materials system that exhibits intriguing optoelectronic functionalities. Conventionally, they have been synthesized with linear and/or planar molecular spacers, rendering nominal modifications in optoelectronic properties. In contrast, lower dimensional HPs (0D and 1D) have been accommodating to the incorporation of bulky molecular spacers, leaving fundamental insights to remain elusive in their application for unconventional 2D HP structures. Herein, by implementing a high-throughput autonomous exploration workflow, crystallization behaviors of 2D HPs based on bulky 3,3-diphenylpropylammonium (DPA) spacer are comprehensively explored. Counterintuitive to the conventional HP chemistry, synthesis of 2D DPA2PbI4 HP is indeed feasible when the steric hindrance is mediated by minute incorporation of 3D HPs. Furthermore, a Moiré superlattice is observed from the DPA2PbI4 flakes, indicating the spontaneous formation of twisted stacks of 2D HPs – the first time to the best our knowledge. We hypothesize that the unconventional van der Waals surface of DPA2PbI4 facilitates the self-assembly of the twisted stacks of 2D HPs. This work exemplifies how high-throughput experimentation can discover unconventional material systems where the synthetic principle lies beyond the conventional chemical intuition. Furthermore, these findings provide hints on how to ‘chemically’ manipulate the twist stacking in 2D HPs, thus rendering a straightforward way for bespoke realization of functionalities in exotic materials systems via bottom-up approach.

Ice nucleating substances (INSs) influence the properties and frequencies of ice and mixed-phase clouds in the atmosphere, and hence, climate and the hydrological cycle. INSs can be classified as inorganic (e.g., mineral dust, volcanic ash) or organic (e.g., bacterial cells, cell-free proteins). While the properties of both INS classes have been studied in the laboratory, the amounts in the atmosphere are still poorly constrained. Here, we demonstrate a new method for separating and quantifying inorganic and organic INSs. First, INS suspensions were separated into a high-density isolate containing inorganic INSs and a low-density isolate containing organic INSs using density gradient centrifugation, and then INSs were quantified in each isolate using a droplet freezing technique. Inorganic K-feldspar and organic Snomax INSs were used to test our method. The average K-feldspar INS recovery in the high-density isolate was 54%, with no evidence of K-feldspar INSs in the low-density isolate. The average Snomax INS recovery in the low-density isolate was 27%, with small amounts of Snomax contaminating the high-density isolate. A mixture of K-feldspar and Snomax was successfully separated, with recoveries comparable to those observed for K-feldspar and Snomax individually. Recoveries less than 100% can be explained by losses of INSs to vessel walls, accidental mixing of the different density layers during pipetting, and incomplete collection of material during pipetting.
Human and non-human: The duality of diaspora in amitav ghosh's gun Island
Authors: Athithya Paramesh N. P. , J. Amutha Monica
Published: May 2024

‘Diaspora' is a term that has undergone transformation throughout history. In its original sense, it referred to the Jewish
population residing outside of their native land in Palestine. In its current usage, it encompasses any dispersion of people
or linguistic and cultural phenomena originating from a localized source. The transnational narrative of Gun Island
parallels the dispersion of both human and non-human animals caused by human-induced climate change. Humans
migrate for various reasons, including environmental factors and economic opportunities, while non-human animals
migrate solely due to pervasive climate change in the Anthropocene. This study argues that the novel invites readers to
rethink the global perspective of diaspora from a more inclusive and ecological standpoint, recognizing that nonhuman
animals also exhibit some features common to human diaspora groups. Examples include displacement from
original habitats, encountering challenges in new environments, and bearing cultural or ecological relevance for
source regions.

Published: May 2024

Education is the most powerful weapon that can be used to change the world, whether in a developed or underdeveloped country. The present e-learning frameworks are changing rapidly with the change in technology and the need for education. However, one of the main problems is the unavailability of effective learning models and collaborative tools for complex topics, especially in science courses. This is due to the need for more visualization in learning platforms, one of the major problems that need attention. Otherwise, users might need help with falling short of potential in effective teaching shortly. This paper investigates the issue of the need for visualization methods. It gives an idea of how to solve this problem by testing it through various phases and forms of evaluation. Users surveyed the use of visualization methods in practice, recorded the results, and will carry out research based on the results obtained. An extensive literature survey was done on academic and industry reports in the context of the effectiveness of visualization on virtual platforms. Additionally, a primary survey was conducted using a research questionnaire to gather opinions from the primary stakeholders of the research, namely, students and instructors. Empathy tools were employed to comprehend the emotional state of stakeholders, providing enhanced insights into the identified problem. The work progressed by employing defining tools to concentrate on user needs and finalize the problem statement.
Realizing inclusivity in schools
Authors: Pearl Josey
Published: May 2024

Inclusive education, the practice of integrating students with diverse abilities and backgrounds into mainstream educational settings, has gained significant attention as education has evolved over these years. This paper highlights the challenges that educators face in implementing inclusive education systems, with a focus on promoting equity and ensuring quality education for all learners. The identification and assessment of diverse learning needs, inclusion-based curriculum adaptation and instructional materials, extensive teacher training that focuses on inclusion and allied professional development programs, and the social and attitudinal barriers prevailing in society pose significant challenges to inclusive education. Additionally, creating an inclusive environment that fosters a sense of belonging and encourages collaboration among students can pose logistical and attitudinal challenges. Effective collaboration and coordination among educators, parents, administrators, policymakers, and community members pose an ongoing challenge for creating an inclusive ecosystem that supports the diverse needs of learners. Overcoming the goal of inclusive education needs strong partnerships and fostering shared responsibility that necessitates concerted efforts to promote awareness, acceptance, and empathy among all stakeholders. A multi-faceted approach involving policy reforms, resource allocation, professional development opportunities, and attitudinal shifts are some prerequisites to addressing these challenges. Through prioritizing inclusivity in education and implementing evidence-based practices, societies can strive towards equity, diversity, and quality in education, thus fostering an inclusive environment that benefits all learners and prepares them for an inclusive society.
For Place, Of Place
A Framework for Place-led Architecture
Authors:   , Hufflett Trinity
Published: May 2024

This research explores the concept of ‘place’ as a fundamental generator for design in an urban setting, focusing on the southern Te Aro district in Wellington. The research identifies the issues of placeless architecture, emphasising its visual and functional disconnect from its surroundings and placelessness’s adverse effects on community well-being. Through a ‘design as research’ approach, this research explores the multifaceted attributes of ‘place’ and addresses the challenges architects face in navigating complex data sets.

To address the complex nature of place, the fundamental concepts of generative AI is incorporated into the design process. A manual framework is proposed, which takes existing desirable qualities from an area (data) and combines these with design outcomes (prompt) to generate design explorations (output). This process is repeated with different design outcomes, each representing a unique sub-component of place. These explorations are applied to Te Aro, generating mixed- use, precinct-scaled architecture in an under-activated area.

The framework leverages the dynamic between machine analysis and human curation, establishing a hybrid process that combines AI’s ability to handle complex data sets with a human’s holistic consideration of unquantifiable concepts. The research demonstrates that balancing ‘passive’ systematic design with ‘active’ decision-making, results in architecture that directly responds to and enhances the diverse characteristics of Te Aro.

Throughout the design process, it becomes evident that a fully manual implementation of the proposed framework is very time-consuming. However, it serves as a proof of concept, suggesting that with dedicated technology automation, the Framework could be widely applied in the industry. The collaborative interplay between machine and curator presents a promising avenue for future development, enabling architecture to evolve organically from its place.
Back to Basics: Rethinking The Way We Design Post-Disaster Homes
Authors:   , White Megan
Published: May 2024

Natural disasters are often unpredictable and are happening frequently. Some natural disasters cause damage to communities, resulting in displaced individuals. Due to this there is a need for shelter, however, there are many unknown factors. These include unknown demographics, a strain on time, cost, and resources, and the unknown location. This study begins by identifying a lack of identity and personality in existing post-disaster shelter designs, including the example of Linwood Park from the Christchurch 2011 earthquake. Further research shows the lack of personalisation within shelters, along with addressing key requirements needed for shelters. While providing the basic needs is essential, this thesis also addresses how personalisation can impact a space. Taking bach architecture as a driver for a basic, yet unique approach to temporary accommodation, Lake Clearwater Settlement was used as a case study. Through surveys, interviews, and a reflective design process, the importance of embracing identity emerges as a key element in fostering dignity, livelihood, and a sense of self in displaced individuals.

This thesis explores innovative approaches to post-disaster shelter design with a focus on accommodating the unique needs and individuality of displaced individuals. From challenging conventional shelter concepts to embracing self-design and community involvement, the research addresses the question of how interior and exterior features can cater to the diverse requirements of those affected by natural disasters.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT
The educational assessment procedure provides insight into the achievement and competency of visually impaired students to their educators. This study aimed to promote equity in assessment procedures for visually impaired students at higher education levels and the ways of executing inequity. A qualitative approach with an explanatory nature was used for this study. Participants of study were visually impaired students (N=20) from higher education levels. A self-developed semi-structured interview protocol was administered for the data collection process. The instrument’s validity was confirmed through the expert opinion (N=02). Instrument’s reliability was assured through an extensive literature review. Five themes emerged from the interviews of the participants i.e., perception of visually impaired students, institutes’ support, barriers for visually impaired students, effects on career development, and suitable ways for educational assessment. This study in its findings revealed that the existing assessment procedure is quite challenging for them. This study gives its recommendations to Higher education institutes should provide knowledge and orientation about assessment policy and procedure to the faculty and non-teaching staff.
The assessment reflects the ultimate learning for the students at higher education level including visually impaired students. A need is always to conduct assessments for both students with and without visual impairment as per their access level.

The article has examined the variety of marketing and advertising technologies as key methods of promoting a higher education institution. In particular, a number of existing ways of finding direct contact with potential education applicants and stakeholders have been identified. Using marketing technologies in the process of promoting a higher education institution is an important component of the general concept of institution’s promotion. It concerns the use of well-known social networks, messengers and other communication channels that allow demonstrating the strengths of the institution to the target audience. It is worth considering that it is possible to achieve the planned result with the help of a well-defined sequence of professional advertising actions and communication technologies.
It is important to note that this study is quite relevant, as it carries with it the meaning of marketing technologies implemented in higher education institutions. Such practice has been observed for a long time, but every year the technologies need to be updated and improved. The article focuses on them. The methods of communication with the audience are differentiated according to change of generation. Ten years ago, text information was best perceived by the audience, however, it has been replaced by the age of video content. In order to identify such trends, there is a need for constant content monitoring and implementation of trendy technologies into the work of any organization. It is also worth taking into account the requirements of specific individuals, which are formed due to the suitable and high-quality portrait of the target audiences. This approach makes it possible to get to know the representatives of the target audience perfectly and to present any product knowing its advantages in the minds of abstractly formulated persons.
Taking into account the purpose of the research, which is aimed at investigating the existing methods of promotion of higher education institutions, it is worth noting the most effective marketing and advertising technologies in the work of filling the information campaign of the institution. One of them is holding Open Days. This is an event that allows conducting two-way communication and establishing contact with the audience directly, without the involvement of outsiders. Exactly this method of promotion of the institution is deeply discussed in this article. It is effective not only at the level of attracting applicants through the presentation of the institution’s strengths, but also in creating a certain image of the organisation. This makes it possible to formulate a certain image in the subconscious mind of the target audience, which will become a reference point for the further choice of a higher education institution in the future.

Published: May 2024

Introdução: O envelhecimento populacional traz novos desafios aos sistemas de saúde. Condições crônicas, acompanhadas de multimorbidade, fragilidade e incapacidade funcional, têm trazido déficit para o autocuidado, restrição ao domicílio e limitações de acesso ao serviço, que fragilizam, mais ainda, os cuidados em saúde. Objetivo: Compreender as necessidades de cuidado e autocuidado de idosos domiciliados em um município baiano, à luz da Teoria do Autocuidado de Orem. Métodos: Pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, realizada com 16 cuidadores de idosos domiciliados, com o uso da técnica de entrevista semiestruturada, no ano de 2021. Os dados, organizados em categorias e submetidos à análise de conteúdo de Bardin, foram interpretados à luz do referencial teórico. Resultados: Foram identificados, entre os idosos domiciliados, relevantes níveis de incapacidade para o autocuidado e de dependência e arranjos familiares diversos dos cuidadores para o apoio ao autocuidado, com precário suporte para o desempenho desse papel, e limitações para o próprio autocuidado. O suporte e o cuidado profissional da equipe da Estratégia Saúde da Família também apresentaram fragilidades. Conclusões: A Teoria Geral do Autocuidado de Orem possibilita uma identificação ampla das demandas e necessidades de cuidado dos idosos domiciliados e dos cuidadores, com vistas à reorganização da rede e da oferta dos cuidados interprofissionais na Estratégia Saúde da Família.

Introdução: O aleitamento materno é uma prática milenar com vários benefícios para a mãe e a criança. Para a criança, os benefícios são aproveitados em sua plenitude quando a amamentação é praticada por, pelo menos, dois anos, sendo oferecida como forma exclusiva de alimentação até o sexto mês de vida. Objetivo: Identificar fatores de risco e de proteção associados à duração do aleitamento materno em crianças de até dois anos no município de Corbélia (PR). Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo transversal com 130 mães que frequentavam as Unidades de Saúde da Família do município. Para as análises, foram utilizados o estimador de Kaplan-Meier e o modelo de Cox. Resultados: Os fatores associados à duração do aleitamento materno foram: renda familiar, idade da mãe, orientação sobre a introdução de alimentação complementar, idade gestacional ao nascer e recebimento de leite exclusivamente materno nas primeiras seis horas de vida. Conclusões: Para que ocorra a continuidade e a extensão da duração do aleitamento materno, este estudo levou ao entendimento de que é necessário combinar diferentes estratégias e ações de intervenção, principalmente no que diz respeito à educação permanente em saúde dos profissionais que acompanham essas mulheres em todo o ciclo gravídico-puerperal. Este texto é fruto do programa de pós-graduação stricto sensu Mestrado Profissional em Saúde da Família (PROFSAÚDE).
