Published: January 2025

O objetivo deste trabalho foi o de analisar como a decisão da Supremo Tribunal Federal ao descriminalizar o porte de maconha para uso pessoal, bem como as políticas existentes no combate ao tráfico de drogas impacta no trabalho da Polícia Miliar. Trata-se de uma revisão descritiva de literatura por meio de consultas a materiais já publicados inerentes ao tema, partindo de uma premissa geral para uma particular, respondendo ao problema levantado e cumprindo ao objetivo proposto. A partir de todo o contexto que envolve a descriminalização da maconha, consequências serão evidentes no âmbito de saúde e, principalmente, segurança pública, impacto diretamente para os agentes de linha de frente, como os policiais militares, de forma direta no combate do tráfico de drogas, na demanda em relação ao porte de drogas para uso pessoal, bem como dos crimes decorrentes destes, como os patrimoniais. Fundamental é que juntamente com essa decisão, viesse o suporte da Federação para os Estados no sentido de fortalecimento da Segurança Pública em termos de políticas mais eficazes, com otimização das polícias estaduais, uma vez que é sabido que a descriminalização leva a um aumento relevante da conduta, potencialmente, toda a cadeia de suprimento, que vai exigir uma intervenção policial mais segura e eficaz. O Estado deve realizar ações para garantir a tranquilidade, segurança e proteção da integridade física e moral da população, por meio de vigilância, prevenção de atos criminosos e orientações cidadãs fornecidas pelo corporação policial e comitês de proteção civil para a comunidade como um todo.

Published: January 2025

Este estudo tem como objetivo estudar a Medida Provisória de número 1.230 de 07 de junho de 2024. Esta medida buscou instituir o apoio financeiro às regiões afetadas pela calamidade pública que assolou o rio Grande do Sul em Maio de 2024, deixando desastrosas consequências sociais, econômicas e ambientais, prejudicando trabalhadores com vínculo e suas empresas. O Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, devido a fortes chuvas no período de final de abril a maio de 2024, atingindo 298 cidades dos 475 Municípios, tendo gerado 171 mortes e 11,3 mil feridos e enfermos, várias pessoas e animais desaparecidos, conforme os dados da Defesa Civil estadual, ainda podendo ter alteração até os dias atuais. Dessa forma a pesquisa é de natureza exploratória, com base em literatura, na Constituição Federal e normas Contábeis. Concluiu-se que a MP 1.230/2024 foi inicialmente elaborada para dar suporte às vítimas de um desastre natural, fornecendo recursos e isenções fiscais, o que teve efeitos positivos no início. No entanto, à medida que a crise persiste, a recuperação para cidadãos e empresas tem sido inadequada, com os municípios mais afetados enfrentando processos de reconstrução custosos e lentos. Em resposta, um decreto administrativo está sendo processado para criar uma emenda constitucional com o objetivo de aumentar o suporte a essas vítimas, enfatizando a importância da prevenção para evitar desastres futuros semelhantes.
ESTUDO SOBRE A EFETIVIDADE DOS SUPRESSORES COMO EQUIPAMENTOS DE PROTEÇÃO INDIVIDUAL NAS ARMAS PORTÁTEIS UTILIZADAS PELO COMPANHIA DE COMANDOS E OPERAÇÕES ESPECIAIS DO BATALHÃO DE OPERAÇÕES ESPECIAIS
Authors: Chaves Gabriel
Published: January 2025

Este artigo analisou a viabilidade do uso de supressores como Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPIs) em armas portáteis empregadas pela Companhia de Comandos e Operações Especiais (Cia COE) do BOPE. A pesquisa baseou-se na análise documental de normas de saúde ocupacional, bem como artigos científicos que versam sobre a temática. Foram analisados ainda, livros e artigos sobre os aspectos técnicos e formas de funcionamento dos supressores, sendo realizados testes práticos com armas da Cia COE que são equipadas com este acessório, tanto em ambiente aberto, quanto confinado. Para a aferição dos ruídos foi utilizado um decibelímetro digital, configurado para ponderação de frequência C, tempo de resposta Fast. Constatou-se que a efetividade dos supressores varia de acordo com diferentes fatores, sendo que alguns autores já os consideram EPIs. No teste em ambiente aberto, os níveis de ruído ficaram abaixo de 120 dB(C), enquanto, em ambiente confinado, embora não tenham atingido esse patamar, apresentaram reduções significativas em comparação aos disparos sem o acessório. Desta forma, conclui-se que o supressor pode ser utilizado como EPI, principalmente em ocorrências, situações em que o operador, na maioria das vezes, está sem proteção auricular.

Published: January 2025

Abstract. Supersaturation is crucial in cloud physics, determining aerosol activation and influencing cloud droplet size distributions, yet its measurement remains challenging and poorly constrained. This study proposes a theoretical framework to simultaneously observe critical activation diameter and hygroscopicity of activated aerosols through direct measurements of scattering and water-induced scattering enhancement of interstitial and activated aerosols, enabling effective supersaturation measurements. Advanced optical systems based on this framework allow minute- to second-level effective supersaturation measurements, capturing fluctuations vital to cloud microphysics. Although currently limited to clouds with supersaturations below ∼ 0.2 % due to small scattering signals from sub-100 nm aerosols, advancements in optical sensors could extend its applicability. Its suitability for long-term measurements allows for climatological studies of fogs and mountain clouds. When equipped with aerial vehicles, the system could also measure aloft clouds. Therefore, the proposed theory serves as a valuable method for both short-term and long-term cloud microphysics and aerosol–cloud interaction studies.
Estimates of critical loads and exceedances of acidity and nutrient nitrogen for mineral soils in Canada for 2014–2016 average annual sulfur and nitrogen atmospheric deposition

Published: January 2025

Abstract. The steady-state simple mass balance model was applied to natural and semi-natural terrestrial ecosystems across Canada to produce nation-wide critical loads of acidity (maximum sulfur, CLmaxS; maximum nitrogen, CLmaxN; minimum nitrogen, CLminN) and nutrient nitrogen (CLnutN) at 250 m resolution. Parameterisation of the model for Canadian ecosystems was considered with attention to the selection of the chemical criterion for damage at a site-specific resolution, with comparison between protection levels of 5 % and 20 % growth reduction (approximating commonly chosen base-cation-to-aluminum ratios of 1 and 10, respectively). Other parameters explored include modelled base cation deposition and site-specific nutrient and base cation uptake estimates based on North American tree chemistry data and tree species and biomass maps. Critical loads of acidity were estimated to be low (e.g., below 500 eq. ha−1 yr−1) for much of the country, particularly above 60° N latitude, where base cation weathering rates are low due to cold annual average temperature. Exceedances were mapped relative to annual sulfur and nitrogen deposition averaged over 2014–2016. Results show that under a conservative estimate (5 % protection level), 10 % of Canada's protected and conserved areas in the study area experienced exceedance of some level of the soil critical load of acidity, while 70 % experienced exceedance of the soil critical load of nutrient nitrogen.
Seasonal and interannual variability in CO2 fluxes in southern Africa seen by GOSAT
Authors: Metz Eva-Marie , Vardag Sanam Noreen , Basu Sourish , Jung Martin , Butz André
Published: January 2025

Abstract. The interannual variability in the global carbon sink is heavily influenced by semiarid regions. Southern hemispheric Africa has large semiarid and arid regions. However, there is only a sparse coverage of in situ CO2 measurements in the Southern Hemisphere. This leads to uncertainties in measurement-based carbon flux estimates for these regions. Furthermore, dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) show large inconsistencies in semiarid regions. Satellite CO2 measurements offer a spatially extensive and independent source of information about the southern African carbon cycle. We examine Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) CO2 concentration measurements from 2009 to 2018 in southern Africa. We infer CO2 land–atmosphere fluxes which are consistent with the GOSAT measurements using the TM5-4DVar atmospheric inversion system. We find systematic differences between atmospheric inversions performed on satellite observations versus inversions that assimilate only in situ measurements. This suggests limited measurement information content in the latter. We use the GOSAT-based fluxes and solar-induced fluorescence (SIF; a proxy for photosynthesis) as atmospheric constraints to select DGVMs of the TRENDYv9 ensemble which show compatible fluxes. The selected DGVMs allow for the study of the vegetation processes driving the southern African carbon cycle. By doing so, our satellite-based process analyses pinpoint photosynthetic uptake in the southern grasslands to be the main driver of the interannual variability in the southern African carbon fluxes, agreeing with former studies based on vegetation models alone. We find that the seasonal cycle, however, is substantially influenced by enhanced soil respiration due to soil rewetting at the beginning of the rainy season. The latter result emphasizes the importance of correctly representing the response of semiarid ecosystems to soil rewetting in DGVMs.

Abstract. In High Mountain Asia (HMA) ongoing climate change threatens mountain water resources as glaciers melt, and the resulting changes in runoff and water availability are likely to have considerable negative impacts on ecological and human systems. Numerous assessments of the ways in which these glaciers will respond to climate warming have been published over the past decade. Many of these assessments have used climate model projections to argue that HMA glaciers will melt significantly this century. However, we show that this is only one way in which these glaciers might respond. An alternative pathway is one in which increasing valley-side instability releases large amounts of rock debris onto glacier surfaces. The development of extensive glacier surface debris cover is common in HMA and, if thick enough, this surface debris inhibits glacier melting to the extent that glacier ice becomes preserved under the surface debris cover. In so doing, a transition to rock glaciers may prolong the lifetime of HMA glaciers in the landscape. We call this alternative pathway the Paraglacial Transition Model. In this Perspective Article we discuss the scientific basis of this alternative view in order to better understand how HMA glaciers may respond to climate change.
The benefits and trade-offs of multi-variable calibration of the WaterGAP global hydrological model (WGHM) in the Ganges and Brahmaputra basins

Published: January 2025

Abstract. While global hydrological models (GHMs) are affected by large uncertainties regarding model structure, forcing and calibration data, and parameters, observations of model output variables are rarely used to calibrate the model. Pareto-dominance-based multi-objective calibration, often referred to as Pareto-optimal calibration (POC), may serve to estimate model parameter sets and analyse trade-offs among different objectives during calibration. Within a POC framework, we determined optimal parameter sets for the WaterGAP global hydrological model (WGHM) in the two largest basins of the Indian subcontinent – the Ganges and the Brahmaputra, collectively supporting nearly 580 million inhabitants. The selected model parameters, determined through a multi-variable, multi-signature sensitivity analysis, were estimated using up to four types of observations: in situ streamflow (Q), GRACE and GRACE Follow-On terrestrial water storage anomaly (TWSA), LandFlux evapotranspiration (ET), and surface water storage anomaly (SWSA) derived from multi-satellite observations. While our sensitivity analysis ensured that the model parameters that are most influential for the four variables were identified in a transparent and comprehensive way, the rather large number of calibration parameters, 10 for the Ganges and 16 for the Brahmaputra, had a negative impact on parameter identifiability during the calibration process. Calibration against observed Q was crucial for reasonable streamflow simulations, while additional calibration against TWSA was crucial for the Ganges basin and helpful for the Brahmaputra basin to obtain a reasonable simulation of both Q and TWSA. Additionally calibrating against ET and SWSA enhanced the overall model performance slightly. We identified several trade-offs among the calibration objectives, with the nature of these trade-offs closely tied to the physiographic and hydrologic characteristics of the study basins. The trade-offs were particularly pronounced in the Ganges basin, in particular between Q and SWSA, as well as between Q and ET. When considering the observational uncertainty of the calibration data, model performance decreases in most cases. This indicates an overfitting to the singular observation time series by the calibration algorithm. We therefore propose a transparent algorithm to identify high-performing Pareto solutions under consideration of observational uncertainties of the calibration data.

Building Serendipity into Recommender Algorithms on Online Platforms: Reviving the Chaos and Randomness of the Early Internet Aesthetic
Authors: Krook Joshua
Published: January 2025

Nostalgic comments about the early internet often praise its random, chaotic aesthetic. By contrast, the major platforms of today are typically viewed as corporate in aesthetic, with a one-size-fits-all profile and personalised recommendations of products. The curated life is the opposite of the serendipitous life. Instead of seeing strange or unusual items, online algorithms have been shown to trap users into ‘you loops’, surrounded by similar users in filter bubbles. Algorithms on major platforms give the illusion that users are getting what they want, yet users often complain of a form of aesthetic sameness, blandness and repetition regarding the products they see and are recommended. In this article, we consider forms of resistance against algorithmic ranking and efficiency, including nostalgia for the early internet. This includes a consideration of early websites, which were more chaotic compared with the algorithmic ranking-based sites of today. We argue that the movement towards a curated life has resulted in a loss of serendipity for the user and a narrowing of the user experience, limiting personal growth and the variety of content to which users are exposed. This ‘narrowing’ effect contributes to a flattening of culture, where culture starts to reflect what the algorithm rewards. We consider ways to shift back to a more random aesthetic, where less-popular items are sometimes shown to the user to increase the serendipity they experience on major platforms.
Using Internet of Things (IoT) Devices for an Interactive Learning Environment in Music Classes for Studying Bel Canto Technique
Authors: Zheng Jie
Published: January 2025

Regarding the context of creating an interactive learning environment, the impact of bel canto vocal pedagogy on the development of performance abilities among Chinese vocal students was studied. Based on the method of analysis, the authors identified the advantages of using IoT devices for studying the Bel Canto technique by calculating the coefficient of significance. The use of IoT devices for studying the Bel Canto technique contributes to training in breath control (2.557), standardization of musical sounds (2.518), development of vocal power (2.493), expansion of phonetic resonance (2.397), and vibrant expressiveness (2.009). The implementation of voice sensors facilitates detailed monitoring and analysis of students' vocal techniques. Utilizing these technologies enables instructors to provide more precise and timely recommendations, enhances students' technical skills, and accelerates their progress. It is crucial to investigate the pedagogical and social aspects of IoT integration in music classes, as well as the economic efficiency of these solutions. Standardized methods for assessing the effectiveness of IoT systems in music education need to be developed, and optimal approaches for their integration into traditional teaching methods must be determined.

Studies have associated advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and the polymorphism of the AGEs receptor (RAGE) gene with clinical disorders, such as diabetes, in certain ethnic groups. However, its association with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in Egyptians has not yet been explored. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the RAGE gene polymorphism rs1800625 and T1DM susceptibility in Egyptians. A case-control study was conducted with 177 T1DM patients and 177 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Variables included glycemic markers (fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial blood glucose (PBG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)), anthropometric measurements (waist circumference, body mass index (BMI)), lipid profile (total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL)), renal function (albumin-to-creatinine ratio (A/C ratio), serum creatinine), and history of hypertension and smoking. Genotype distribution and allele frequency of the RAGE rs1800625 polymorphism (TT, TC, CC genotypes; T and C alleles) were assessed. This study identified the RAGE rs1800625 polymorphism as a significant genetic factor associated with T1DM susceptibility. The CC genotype was significantly more prevalent in patients compared to controls (29.9% vs 11.9%; OR: 3.62; 95%CI: 1.87–6.97; p<0.001). Similarly, the C allele was more common in patients (54.5% vs 41.0%, OR: 1.73; 95%CI: 1.28–2.33; p<0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that HbA1c (adjusted OR (aOR): 12.97; 95%CI: 4.00–42.05; p<0.001), FBG (aOR: 8.96; 95%CI: 1.59–50.47; p=0.010), and the rs1800625 polymorphism (aOR: 1.82; 95%CI: 1.146–2.876, p=0.010) were significant predictors of T1DM. In conclusion, a genetic association was found between the RAGE gene polymorphism rs1800625 and T1DM susceptibility, with the CC genotype and C allele being more common in T1DM patients. FBG, HbA1c, and rs1800625 were identified as key predictors for T1DM, with HbA1c being the strongest. These findings highlight the importance of integrating genetic and metabolic factors in managing T1DM.

Fabrication and Characterisation of Cross-linked Cellulose hydrogel from Residual papers
Authors: Kiprotich Hillary , W. Nthiga Esther , O. Onyancha Douglas
Published: January 2025

Hydrogels have demonstrated an array of potential as a medium throughout the last century for a range of applications. Synthetic polymers currently dominate hydrogel fabrication research and industry. It turns out that these synthetic polymers are not biodegradable posing serious environmental problems therefore finding a sustainable substitute for polysaccharide-based high-performance hydrogel synthesis is imperative. Utilising biopolymers produced from polysaccharides to produce high-performance hydrogels reduces environmental pollution and manufacturing costs. The most common organic polymer found in nature, cellulose has a wide range of applications despite being poorly soluble in most organic solvents including water. A cellulose pulp was produced by pre-treating the waste papers with double alkali and acid hydrolysis, which eliminated the lignin and hemicellulose, respectively. This pulp was then characterised using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR). The cellulose pulp's FT-IR spectrum showed no peak at 2957, 2886, 1513, and 1430 cm−1, confirming that there was neither lignin nor hemicellulose present. The resulting cellulose pulp was dissolved in an 8:6.5:8 weight percent solution of sodium hydroxide, urea, and thiourea to form a self-standing cellulose hydrogel without the requirement for a cross-linker. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was then added as an agent for gelling and refrigerated at -20°C. ATR-FTIR and SEM were used to characterise the uncross-linked cellulose hydrogel (UCH) that was generated. To improve the mechanical, swelling, and stability properties of UCH, cross-linked cellulose hydrogel (CCH) was made by crosslinking the UCH with glutaraldehyde (GA). The CCH was evaluated using FT-IR and SEM-EDX. The analysis of ATR-FTIR and SEM micro-image data added to the evidence supporting the existence of a chemical cross-linking reaction between GA and cellulose. A preliminary test was carried out utilising the tea-bag method at a predetermined time to investigate the impact of cellulose alteration on each hydrogel's capacity to swell.

Metformin ameliorated to progression-free survival (PFS) and (NSCLC) OS in advanced, previously untreated non-small cell lung cancer. Metformin 500 mg/day was recently trailed in patients of lung adenocarcinoma along with erlotinib, afatinib or Gefitinib at standard recommended dose. In consequence it has been linked to the fetal abnormalities devastating teratogenic effects of thalidomide when taken in early pregnancy. Thalidomide also shows specific causes results to degradation of repressors in T-cells which play the role lead to activation with increased IL-2 secretion. This animate the immune system to fight cancer cells. Thus conclusion of repurposing medications in conjunction with other treatments has the potential action to enhance cancer patient outcomes with its indications might be quite useful. Drugs and disease-specific on targets and off targets have previously been screened for using in silico methods such as docking techniques, in vitro methods, and in vivo methods. But there are a number of technological and legal obstacles that require the development of fresh ideas.

Authors: Sarah Maroun Stephan
Published: January 2025

Purpose:  This study underscores the importance of integrating organizational practices, sectoral nuances, and individual abilities and capabilities to create supportive promotion for women leadership.
Design/methodology/approach: For this study, 432 Lebanese women in top managerial positions completed the survey.  The research hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM)
Findings:  The findings highlight the pivotal role of women leaders in conflict resolution, strategic orientation, risk-taking, and credibility, emphasizing their ability to navigate biases, redefines organizational norms, and drive equity. Sector-specific analysis reveals unique challenges, particularly in male-dominated industries such as construction.
Originality: Practical implementation of inclusive policies and leadership models remains inconsistent, particularly concerning participative leadership styles and risk management frameworks. Organizations must address biases and stereotypes that undervalue women’s competencies and adopt more comprehensive strategies to foster equitable leadership environments.
Nurses’ Retention in Lebanese Hospital
Authors: Sandra Abi Daher
Published: January 2025

This article investigates retention policies for nursing staff in Lebanese hospitals, examining their prevalence, tools used, and the effects of human resource practices focused on employee well-being. Data from a 2022 survey of nursing staff in various Lebanese hospitals is analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to evaluate the scope and effectiveness of retention policies. Structural equation modeling is applied to assess the impact of these policies on staff motivation and hospital performance. The study finds that not all Lebanese hospitals have implemented retention policies, and those that have employ varying strategies. It highlights that human resource policies prioritizing employee well-being significantly improve staff retention, reduce recruitment and training costs, and enhance hospital efficiency. This research emphasizes the importance of comprehensive retention strategies to strengthen nurse loyalty and hospital outcomes.

Published: January 2025

A gestão em saúde pública, no contexto da promoção da saúde coletiva, é uma área complexa que envolve a implementação de diversas estratégias, políticas e práticas destinadas a administrar eficazmente os recursos e serviços de saúde de âmbito público. O presente estudo, conduzido através de uma revisão integrativa de literatura realizada entre os meses de maio e julho de 2023, utilizando as bases de dados SciELO, BVS e Google Acadêmico, teve como objetivo analisar e discutir as principais abordagens adotadas pela gestão em saúde pública para promover a saúde da população como um todo. Dentre os 130 artigos inicialmente identificados, apenas 10 foram selecionados após rigorosa triagem com critérios pré-definidos, compreendendo, assim, a amostra final. A saúde pública, diferentemente do foco em indivíduos isolados, preocupa-se com o bem-estar da coletividade, e, portanto, seu sucesso depende de uma abordagem abrangente e integrada. Nesse sentido, pode-se concluir que as principais estratégias de gestão em saúde pública estão intrinsecamente relacionadas à educação, formação e promoção em saúde, ao acesso e à qualidade dos serviços de saúde, à prevenção e ao monitoramento de doenças, bem como à realização de pesquisas e ao estabelecimento de parcerias estratégicas para enfrentar os desafios em saúde pública. Essas abordagens, quando implementadas de forma articulada e eficaz, contribuem significativamente para a promoção da saúde coletiva e o fortalecimento dos programas de saúde pública.

In Italy, bovine tuberculosis (TB) control in the water buffalo population is mainly carried out using the tuberculin skin test (TST). The test measures the increase in skin thickness 72 hours (h) after the intradermal injection of mycobacterial purified protein derivatives (PPD). The TST can involve the single intradermal test with bovine PPD (PPDB), or the comparative test adding a second injection with avian tuberculin (PPDA), using the couple of PPDs reduces false positives caused by non-tuberculosis mycobacteria. This pilot study aimed to evaluate the potential use of PPDB, PPDA, along with 6 kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6), 10 kDa culture filtrate protein (CFP-10), and Early Secretory Proteins (ESP) in the TST, in healthy and naturally TB infected buffaloes. Twenty-one buffaloes, gamma-interferon (IFN-γ) test positive, from a TB-out-break herd and 11 buffaloes from a TB-free herd were selected. All subjects were also submitted to the IFN-γ test using the same antigens (Ag) as the TST to verify the cellular response in vitro and to exclude anaergic animals that did not respond to in vitro stimulation with the mitogen. The TST was performed according to the TB Italian National eradication program, and to Reg. EU 2020/689. Eight intradermal injection sites were used on each animal shoulder (4 on the right and 4 on the left side). Three concentrations of the ESAT6-CFP10 protein cocktail (10, 20 and 30 μg) and two of ESP (50 and 100 μg) were inoculated. PPDB and PPDA were always included in the TST, along with PBS as negative control. Skin reactions were measured with calipers before the test and every 24 h for 4 days. The TST was considered positive in animals with an increase in skin thickness between post and pre-dermal test readings of > 4 mm, doubtful if between 2 and 4 mm, negative <2 mm. Negative subjects also exhibited a skin response to PPDB at 24 and 48 h, but it became completely negative at 72 h, the prescribed reading time. In the positive buffaloes, the kinetics of skin responses showed that the strongest response was to PPDB at 24h, with some subjects becoming doubtful at 72 and 96 h. A peak response was observed at 48 hours to PPDA and to 20 μg of the ESAT6-CFP10 protein cocktail, followed by a decrease. The response to ESP-100 μg remained high at 24 and 48 h and then decreased, remaining positive at 72 h. ESP showed the best performance with higher reactivity in positive animals and no reactivity in negative animals at 72 h. Therefore,  ESP could be an excellent candidate for further extensive studies in the buffalo species to improve TST Sensitivity and Specificity.
Strike while the Iron is Hot: Optimal Monetary Policy with a Nonlinear Phillips Curve
Authors: Karadi Peter , Nakov Anton , Nuño Galo , Pastén Ernesto , Thaler Dominik
Published: January 2025

We study the Ramsey optimal monetary policy within the Golosov and Lucas (2007) state-dependent pricing framework. The model provides micro-foundations for a nonlinear Phillips curve: the sensitivity of inflation to activity increases after large shocks due to an endogenous rise in the frequency of price changes, as observed during the recent inflation surge. In response to large cost-push shocks, optimal policy leverages the lower sacrifice ratio to reduce inflation and stabilize the frequency of price adjustments. When facing total factor productivity shocks, an efficient disturbance, the optimal policy commits to strict price stability, similar to the prescription in the standard Calvo (1983) model.

Published: January 2025

The emergency department has a unique role, standing both as the entry point into the health care system for many patients and as the health care provider of last resort. The emergency department serves as, where people go for treatment of an acute injury regardless of their background. As the people approach this particular department regardless of their background there is more chance for the occurrence of violence. Patient might not be known to the care provider, case might not be registered, uncompleted admission procedure, severe injuries or inconsistency in mind
Survey of pedagogical opinion on environmental education in out of school environment
Authors: Asenova Milka
Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of a national survey for the opinion of teaching staff on the topic of environmental protection in the educational process and the proposed by the Ministry of Environment and Water (MoEW) and its structures awareness-raising initiatives and ways of interaction. The study is based on the hypothesis that the systematic participation of children and students in various forms of non-formal education, in extracurricular and outof-school environments, tailored to their cognitive abilities and interests, leads to an increase in their environmental culture and to the formation of behaviour patterns for the protection of the natural environment. Hundreds of extracurricular and out-of-school activities on ecological themes are organized annually, with the support and assistance of the structures of the Ministry of Environment and Water to celebrate nature conservation dates, projects and initiatives of educational institutions, etc. Over the years, the results of the joint work with teachers have been reflected in reports and statements. No survey of teachers' opinions and attitudes towards teaching environmental issues in schools and informal settings has been carried out by the MoEW. The implemented author's questionnaire included 46 statements structured under eight headings. It can be tentatively divided into two groups - questions that concern the topic of environmental protection, institutional and public support for environmental education in out-of-school environments and a second group of questions that are related to educational initiatives and activities with the structures of the Ministry of Environment, ways and forms of interaction. The paper outlines the aims, objectives and methodology of the study, the research instruments used. The data obtained from the responses of 910 respondents with different pedagogical specialties are processed, systematized, summarized and graphically presented. The findings are presented in the form of SWOT analysis and can be considered as valuable information on the research topic.
