Authors: Tüzemen Abdullah , Balkaya Ensar , Serçemeli Ceyhun
Published: October 2024

Scope of the study focuses on fermented dairy products because, they constitute very large and important part of human diet. And these products are very healthy and have some health benefits. 2731 fermented dairy processors in 227 sub-sectors in 48 cities have been in-vestigated to determine whether these processors in 48 cities are efficient in producing fer-mented dairy products. And input oriented CCR (Constant Returns to Scale) DEA (Data En-velopment Analysis) model is deployed to determine the level of efficiency of the dairy pro-cessors in producing fermented dairy products. According to results, İzmir ranks 1st, Balıkesir ranks 2nd, Şanlı Urfa ranks 3rd and Kahraman Maraş ranks 4th. While Ardahan is the lowest ranking city. And Generalized Linear Model has been utilized to find out the effect of the length of roads, the number of white-collar and blue-collar employees on fermented dairy production capacity. And results states that the number of blue-collar employees has a positive effect on fermented dairy production capacity at 0.001 significance. And the number of white-collar employees doesn’t have a significant effect on the fermented dairy production capacity while length of road has a positive effect on the fermented dairy production capacity at 0.10 significance level.

Published: October 2024

Abstract Background Pelvic Congestion Syndrome is an important cause of pelvic pain in adult women, leading to reduced quality of life, absenteeism from work, anxiety, depression, and sexual disorders. Objectives To evaluate the response to endovascular treatment for pelvic varicose veins using foam sclerotherapy and outline the profile of patients with this diagnosis followed up at the Hospital das Clínicas Cassiano Antônio Moraes, Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Brazil. Methods Based on review of medical records, this retrospective descriptive study analyzes the profile and response of patients undergoing endovascular treatment for pelvic varicose veins by foam sclerotherapy. The variables analyzed include age, weight, height, body mass index, parity, pelvic pain complaints, ultrasound criteria comparing the diameter of pelvic vessels before and after the procedure, and presence of venous reflux on transvaginal Doppler ultrasound. Results The sample of patients analyzed had an average age of 43.3 years old, a mean of 2.95 gestations, and a mean BMI of 25.37kg/m2. Ultrasound assessment after the intervention indicated a statistically significant reduction (p-value < 0.005) in the caliber of the parauterine vessels, with mean diameters of 6.34 mm on the right and 7.26 mm on the left before the procedure and 4.37 mm and 4.56 mm respectively afterwards. Conclusions Foam sclerotherapy reduced the caliber of pelvic varicose veins in the study sample. The results were similar to those of other endovascular treatment methods for this comorbidity. Further prospective studies to assess the response to this intervention are necessary to establish it as an effective option for treatment of pelvic congestion syndrome.

Connecting Spinoza and Winnicott: contributions to contemporary organizations
Authors: Sant’Anna Anderson de Souza , Oliveira Fátima Bayma de , Diniz Daniela Martins
Published: October 2024

Abstract This article explores the integration of Spinoza’s ontology and Winnicott’s epistemology as a theoretical framework for understanding the dynamic interplay between contemporary organizations and individuals. Drawing on Spinoza’s monism and Winnicott’s emphasis on the environment’s role in human development, this framework offers a comprehensive and human-centric approach to organizational development. It highlights the importance of adaptability, innovation, and responsiveness in challenging traditional notions of organizational structure. Recognizing the interconnectedness of all aspects of the organization and promoting collaboration helps leverage connectivity for creative problem-solving and innovation. Inspired by Winnicott, transitional spaces allow individuals to engage in creative thinking and experimentation, fostering innovation and personal growth. Creating a supportive holding environment becomes crucial for supporting employee well-being, personal development, and fostering inclusivity. Aligning individual and organizational goals promotes participative decision-making and transparent communication. Emotional responsiveness and affective engagement nurture a positive emotional landscape that fosters creativity and well-being. Empowering autonomy and entrepreneurial mindsets enable individuals to act entrepreneurially within the organization. Incorporating flexibility in organizational structures enhances responsiveness and agility. Continuous learning and development opportunities reinforce individuals’ drive for self-actualization. Measuring and reflecting on the impact of strategies, along with prioritizing community and stakeholder engagement, further enhance organizational interconnectedness. By incorporating these recommendations, organizational holders can develop more adaptive, innovative, and responsive organizations, considering the interconnectedness of individuals, organizations, and society.
The competency-based curriculum in the Physical Education course at Unijuí: implementation process and initial impacts
Authors: Borges Robson Machado
Published: October 2024

Abstract The article presents the implementation process, as well as the initial results, of the competency-based curriculum in the Physical Education course in Unijuí. Based on his experiences as a course coordinator and teacher in curricular components, the author makes a brief and concise assessment of the implementation of the curriculum in its first two years. The text is developed from a descriptive perspective, organized into five parts: indication of the context and aspects that influenced the creation of a new curriculum; presentation of the structure that makes up the curriculum; description of the methodological choices used in the development of the curriculum; analysis of the initial impacts of the restructuring and implementation of the course in the first two years; highlighting successes and difficulties in the process. The results indicate that the current curriculum has enabled expanded training for academics considering the analysis of the possibility of effective mobilization of what is studied, in contrast to the professional field. Academics consider the new way of organizing the course to be productive, giving merit to the methodological procedures and actions of teachers who aim to improve their knowledge. The collaborative planning and study experience allowed teachers to qualify their actions and recognize that they need to study permanently. It is evident that, on the one hand, there have been advances in a number of aspects and, on the other, there are important points to evolve, since teachers move and position themselves at different levels, in relation to the planning, development and evaluation of classes by skills.
Decisão de (Re)Existir!: Histórias e Modos de Organizar de uma Comunidade Quilombola Mineira
Authors: Marquezini Hellen Cordeiro Alves , Guimarães Ludmila de Vasconcelos Machado , Barreto Raquel de Oliveira
Published: October 2024

Resumo Esta pesquisa objetiva compreender como a construção da identidade étnico-racial assegura a existência de uma Comunidade Remanescente Quilombola (CRQ). A psicossociologia foi tomada como referencial teórico e utilizou-se a abordagem metodológica história de vida coletiva em uma CRQ da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte (MG). Com base nos resultados, compreende-se o quilombo como uma organização construída a partir de uma identidade étnico-racial que mobiliza os marcadores de resistência, pertencimento e ancestralidade, essenciais à existência dos sujeitos e do quilombo. As identidades são construídas por meio do reconhecimento da ancestralidade, em que os sujeitos se filiam à história, reconhecendo esses antepassados como composição do que se é. Essas identidades permitem que os sujeitos quilombolas sintam-se pertencentes a este grupo, que permanecerá (re)existindo devido a essa resistência ancestral que é reapropriada. A resistência é indissociável da identidade, porque para o próprio ato do sujeito quilombola decidir ser, é necessário resistir, uma vez que o outro quer que o quilombo deixe de ser. Esses marcadores evidenciam que a resistência da Comunidade Quilombola dos Arturos (CRQ que acolheu este estudo) opera para além do compromisso com a vida e mobilização dos seus sujeitos, mas também na decisão de criar formas de organização e reinvenções no enfrentamento ao status quo.
The Categorization Process from the Becoming Perspective
Authors: Weber Tiziana Brenner Beauchamp , Maciel Cristiano de Oliveira
Published: October 2024

Abstract Current approaches to market categories are predominantly rooted in a substantialist ontology, where categories are perceived as static entities with a consensual symbolic composition among producers, consumers, and intermediaries. From this standpoint, categories change from one phase to another, followed by stabilization, with market actors periodically reaching a consensus on the symbolic constitution of a category. This theoretical essay argues for a paradigm shift toward viewing the symbolic constitution of market categories as an ongoing process aligned with the ontology of becoming rather than adhering to a substantialist perspective. A theoretical model is proposed to support this argument, grounded on three interconnected components: market actors, interactional processes, and the radial structure of categories. The model posits that categorization is an ongoing process of symbolic constitution facilitated by interactional processes among market participants. This process results in a categorical radial structure characterized by a core containing relatively consensual meanings and a periphery featuring a greater dispersion of dissenting meanings. The continuous interplay between central and peripheral meanings drives the evolution of market categories, akin to the internal contradictions observed in Hegelian dialectics.
Narratives and public action in the ruins of the Perus Cement Factory
Authors: Peria Pedro Vianna Godinho
Published: October 2024

Abstract In this paper, I interpret the relationship between abandonment and remembrance based on possibilities for re-signifying the Perus Portland Cement Factory. Abandoned since the 1970s, the facilities of the bankrupt Companhia Brasileira de Cimento Portland are today the object of cultural actions organized by social movements in Perus, a district in the northwest of the city of São Paulo. The movements aim to recapture personal and collective memories of the so-called Queixadas Strike, which took over the factory for seven years and left to the territory an identity of struggle for rights and citizenship. Based on the analysis of interviews, I discuss the counter-narrative created by one of these collectives, the Comunidade Cultural Quilombaque, to oppose oblivion and announce the potential of its territory.
Industrial brownfield in light of the center-periphery relationship: Marabá – State of Pará
Authors: Souza Mateus Teixeira de
Published: October 2024

Abstract The Marabá Industrial District (MID) is a place connected with the transformation and processing of resources from the perspective of adding value to the iron ore of Carajás (State of Pará). However, local industries have promoted a great spatial transformation, using archaic and polluting techniques and technologies. After an increase in costs and changes in international prices, the areas of these industries were abandoned, indicating a brownfield process under formation in the MID and related areas. This was followed by a process of transhumance, accompanied by cycles of economic contraction and concentration. A mining-industrial periphery condition is perceived in the implementation and conception of the MID, as well as its formation as a brownfield, with spatial, economic, demographic, and environmental repercussions.
Effect of biochar application on the mobility of the textile dye drimaren red in an alluvial soil layer
Authors: Silva Josielly Braz da , Santos Neto Severino Martins dos , Furtado Luan Alves , Antonino Antonio Celso Dantas , Coutinho Artur Paiva
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT The region of Alto Capibaribe, in the Brazilian semiarid, faces an environmental issue due to contamination from textile activities. Inadequate release of dyes and other toxic substances threatens human health and water resources, such as alluvial reserves. Thus, biochar, a low-cost adsorbent produced by biomass pyrolysis, helps mitigate these problems by increasing soil retention capacity. This study analyzed the effect of applying biochar, produced from coffee husks, a biomass already established in biochar production, at temperature of 530 °C with a pyrolysis time of 10 to 12 hours, in a homemade metallic furnace, resulting in a product with 67.11% carbon. This biochar was applied to evaluate the mobility of the textile dye Red Drimaren, at a concentration of 25 mg.L-1, used for garment dyeing in local industries, in a subsurface layer of an alluvial deposit located in the dry bed of the Capibaribe River. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that the highest spectral vibrations are in the range of 1400-1800 cm-1, indicating the presence of amine and amide functional groups, favoring the biosorption process. The pH in water is higher than in KCl for all situations, with biochar being basic and the alluvial soil being acidic. The zero charge point values are equal to 6.96 and 7.96 for the proportions Soil+0.25%BC and Soil+1.00%BC, respectively. Layers with 0.25%BC and 1.00%BC added had an increase in adsorptive capacity of 31.68% and 8.62%, respectively, compared to the natural soil sorption capacity. Kinetic data best fit the pseudo-second-order model, and intra-particle diffusion was not the determining mass transfer process nor the occurrence of the adsorption process. Linear and Freundlich isotherm models consistently described the process under varying concentrations, and the Langmuir model did not show a valid physical significance.

Published: October 2024

Abstract Introduction Practice-based models or theories are relevant elements for understanding deliberate thinking processes in individualizing care for a specific client in occupational therapists' practice. The Dynamic Occupational Therapy Method (DOTM) is an ongoing conceptual-methodological framework developed in Brazil since the 1970s. Objective To examine the clinical reasoning processes of expert occupational therapists employing the DOTM. Method A constructivist grounded theory approach guided this study. Data were collected and analyzed simultaneously through Constant Comparative Analysis. Individual and in-group interviews, and a reflective journal, comprised the data collection instruments. Participants were ten expert occupational therapists with: minimum of 10 years of practice experience, minimum of five years since completion of the DOTM clinical training, employing the DOTM as the main framework in practice, and considered by peers as experts. Results Two major categories emerged from data analysis: (1) the DOTM reasoning processes – construction of the situational diagnosis, establishment and management of the triadic relationship, and dialogical assessment of the therapeutic process/associative paths; (2) thinking ethical-aesthetically, associatively, and dynamically. Conclusion This research advances knowledge about the reasoning processes of expert therapists, demonstrating the importance of theoretical and methodological knowledge to inform clinical reasoning. A theory on the clinical reasoning of expert occupational therapists employing the DOTM was developed, detailing how this conceptual-methodological framework underpins reasoning by providing valuable operational concepts to support a dynamic practice centered on the clients' uniqueness and situated context.

Published: October 2024

RESUMO Este estudo objetivou analisar as características de governança do ecossistema de inovação (EI) catarinense, localizado no Sul do Brasil. Seu foco é o Pacto pela Inovação, programa criado para aprimorar a colaboração dentro do ecossistema e que requer uma governança adequada. A coleta de dados foi conduzida por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, levantamento documental e questionário, aplicados a 41 organizações envolvidas nas 240 ações do programa. Os dados foram examinados por meio de análise temática e triangulação. Os resultados mostraram que a governança do ecossistema contempla diversos atores cujas relações são orientadas por mecanismos de coordenação. Apesar de haver liderança central, a abordagem de governança incentiva o protagonismo dos atores de forma descentralizada e com baixa formalidade. Contudo, a sustentabilidade do programa exige uma maior capacidade para mobilizar novos orquestradores. O estudo enfatiza a necessidade de evidências empíricas nos países em desenvolvimento, oferecendo perspectivas para gestores e decisores políticos empenhados em melhorar a capacidade colaborativa em EIs.

Authors: Campos Simone , Mounzer Elie
Published: October 2024

Bridges and overpasses are essential structures for mobility and transportation, playinga fundamental role in transportation infrastructure. However, they are susceptible to defectsthat can compromise their safety and durability. Conducting studies on defects in suchstructures is crucial as it allows for the identification of issues, the development of appropriatesolutions, and the assessment of the conditions of the constructions, enabling thedetermination of necessary measures to ensure their integrity. In this study, visual inspectionswere conducted on five structures located in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The defects found inthese structures were mostly identical or similar to those reported in the literature reviewused. Based on this information, it is possible to identify the most common defects, whichallows for directing preventive and corrective maintenance efforts more effectively, preventingthe progression of these problems and reducing the financial costs associated with structuralrepairs. The methodology involved analyzing bibliographic sources, scientific articles, andconducting planned visual inspections.

Published: October 2024

Aim. To improve the results of organ-preserving surgeries for hepatic echinococcal cysts with rigid fibrous capsule.

Materials and methods. The study analyzed the results of surgical treatment of 221 patients with hepatic echinococcosis that was performed from 2016 to 2023. The main group included 94 patients (2020–2023), who underwent laparotomic or laparoscopic echinococcectomy followed by additional treatment of the residual cavity by the suggested method (113 cysts in total). The comparison group included 88 patients (2016–2019) who underwent standard interventions (108 cysts in total).

Results. A treatment method for the residual cavity is selected with regard to the condition of the fibrous capsule. In case of elastic fibrous capsule, resections were performed in 1.7% of patients in the comparison group and 1.9% in the main group. Laparoscopic echinococcectomy was performed in 29.1% and 38.5% of cases, open echinococcectomy – in 69.2% and 59.6%, respectively. In case of rigid fibrous capsule, resections were made in 4.3% of patients in the comparison group and in 8% in the main group. Laparoscopic echinococcectomy was performed in 8.5% and 23.9% of cases, open echinococcectomy – in 87.2% and 68.2%, respectively.

Conclusion. The suggested method of additional treatment for the residual cavity in cases of open and laparoscopic interventions enables the risk of early complications to be reduced from 19.1% to 4.5%, and from 16% to 3.4% within 3 months after surgery.

Published: October 2024

At the moment there is a rapid increase in the number of children with myopia, including high degree, which undoubtedly leads to further disability of the population. This problem is more relevant for developing and developed countries. Purpose of the study: to carry out a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the effect of phenylephrine instillations on the accommodative apparatus of the eye in comparison with the combination of tropicamide and phenylephrine in children with mild myopia. The study analyzed the results of examination of 2 groups of children. At the initial examination, as well as after a course of drug therapy for 1 month. The following parameters were evaluated: determination of uncorrected visual acuity, spherical correction index, autorefractometry, relative accommodation reserve, relative accommodation volume and absolute accommodation volume. In the first group, which included 76 children (152 eyes), phenylephrine 2.5 % injections were performed once a day for 1 month. In the second group, which included 24 children (48 eyes), tropicamide 0.8 % in combination with phenylephrine 5 % 1 time a day for 1 month was administered. The analysis of the obtained data revealed positive dynamics to the improvement of uncorrected visual acuity, reduction of the index of spherical correction required to achieve the maximum corrected visual acuity. The reserves of relative accommodation, the volume of relative and absolute accommodation in both studied groups increased. However, the data obtained in the study of the second group, where the effect of tropicamide 0.8% in combination with phenylephrine 5% in the form of instillations was investigated.

Published: October 2024

Műveleti területen igen nagy jelentősége van annak, hogy úgy a kötelék parancsnoka, mint annak katonái ismerjék a helyi lakosság kulturális jellemzőit. De számolni kell ezekkel a tényezőkkel hadműveleti szinten is. Éppen ezért már a tanintézeti felkészítés folyamán tudatosítani kell a katonákban a kulturális antropológia alkalmazása révén a helyi lakosságról megszerezhető ismeretek fontosságát. A konkrét missziós felkészítésen – így – elegendő volna a helyi sajátosságok áttekintése.
Az aszimmetrikus hadviselés nemzetközi jogi kihívásai: a háború joga, az emberi jogok és a büntetőjogi eszközök
Authors: Bordás Mária

A hadviselés jogát elsőként az 1863-as Lieber törvénykönyv szabályozta, amely Lincoln elnök kérésére készült, az amerikai polgárháború hatására. Ez a törvénykönyv szolgált alapul a 20. század első felében született genfi és a hágai konvencióknak. A nemzetközi jog forrása még ezeken kívül az ENSZ Alapokmánya, a nemzetközi büntetőjog, és az emberi jogi egyezmények is.

Published: October 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı algılanan ebeveyn etkisi ile işyerinde cinsiyet ayrımcılığı arasındaki ilişkide işyeri saldırganlığının düzenleyici rolünü incelemektir. Çalışmaya Ankara ve Bolu’da görev yapan 182 öğretmen katılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, kadının çalışma hayatı ve evlilik uyumu boyutunda yapılan ayrımcılığını engelleme ve açık saldırganlığın; kadının ‘çalışabileceği’ işler boyutunda yapılan ayrımcılığı ise düşmanlık ifadeleri ve açık saldırganlığın yordadığı bulunmuştur. Ayrıca engelleme, annenin algılanan etkisi ile kadının çalışma hayatı ve evlilik uyumuna yönelik ayrımcı tutum arasındaki ilişkide ve babanın algılanan etkisi ile kadının çalışma hayatı ve evlilik uyumuna yönelik ayrımcı tutum arasındaki ilişkide düzenleyici rol oynamaktadır. Öte yandan, annenin ve babanın dış dünyayla ilgili kararlara algılanan etkisi ile kadının ‘çalışabileceği’ işlere yönelik ayrımcı tutum arasındaki ilişkilerde engelleme ve açık saldırganlığın düzenleyici rolleri bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, çevresel bir etki sayılabilecek algılanan ebeveyn tutumunun kişisel bir özellik olan saldırganlık eğilimiyle etkileşiminin bireyin yetişkin yaşamında sergilediği davranışlar üzerinde önemli rolünün olduğunu vurgulamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, çalışmaya ebeveyn yetiştirme tarzından ziyade şimdiki zamanda bireyin ebeveynlerinin müdahalesine ilişkin algısının dahil edilmesi çalışmayı alanyazındaki diğer çalışmalardan ayırmaktadır. Son olarak, araştırma verilerinin yalnızca öğretmenlerden toplanmış olması bulguların diğer meslek gruplarına genellenebilirliği açısından sınırlılık oluşturmaktadır.

Kayıt dışı istihdam Türkiye ekonomisi için önemli ve hala önüne geçilememiş bir sorundur. Bu sorun bütçe üzerinde olumsuz etkiler yaratmakta ve bu da en başta Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumunun (SGK) zarara uğraması anlamına gelmektedir. Bu manada ülke ekonomisini olumsuz etkileyen ilk sorun kayıt dışı istihdamın yol açtığı SGK prim kayıpları olmakta ve bu da sağlık hizmetleri finansmanı üzerinde önemli bir yük oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma, sağlık hizmetleri finansmanında kayıt dışı istihdamın devleti uğrattığı zarar boyutunu ortaya koymayı hedeflemiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 2023 yılı 4/a’lı asgari ücretli çalışanlar üzerinden kayıt dışı sigorta prim kaybı, İstihdam Yöntemiyle Kayıt dışı İstihdam Tahmini yöntemi ile hesaplanmıştır. Hesaplama sonucunda, 2023 yılı için kayıt dışılığın oluşturduğu 13.091.569.100,48 TL’lik prim kaybı Türkiye’de kayıt dışılığın büyüklüğünü ve sağlık hizmetleri finansmanı açısından önemini bir kez daha ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç olarak, Türkiye’de kayıt dışı istihdam mücadele edilmesi gereken önemli bir sorundur ve bu sorunun önlenmesine yönelik etkili maliye politikalarına ihtiyaç vardır.
BELİRSİZLİK ENDEKSİ VE MAKROEKONOMİK DEĞİŞKENLER ARASINDA NEDENSELLİK İLİŞKİSİ: BRIC-T ÖRNEĞİ

Published: October 2024

Günümüz koşullarında bir ülkenin refahını ve ekonomik geleceğini etkileyen birden fazla değişken bulunmaktadır. Belirsizlik endeksi de bunlardan biridir. Belirsizlik, yatırımcıların, üreticilerin ve hatta bütün ekonomik aktörlerin davranışlarını şekillendirmektedir. Bu noktadan hareketle çalışmada dünya belirsizlik endeksi (WUI) ile ekonomik aktörlerin kararlarında etkili olan döviz kuru, petrol fiyatları, enflasyon ve gelir değişkenleri baz alınarak ampirik analiz yapılmıştır. Yapılan ampirik analizde Brezilya, Rusya, Hindistan, Çin (BRIC) ve Türkiye’nin 2003-2022 dönemine ait verilerle belirsizlik endeksi, döviz kuru, ham petrol fiyatları, enflasyon ve gelirle nedensellik ilişkisi Vektör Hata Düzeltme Modeli (VECM) ile test edilmiştir. Seçilmiş ülkelerin dünya belirsizlik endeksi ve petrol fiyatları verisine Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) web sitesinden ulaşılmıştır. Diğer değişkenlere ait veriler ise Dünya Bankasından alınmıştır. Yapılan ekonometrik analiz sonuçlarına göre, belirsizlik endeksi ile gelir arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi bulunurken; döviz kuru, enflasyon ve petrol fiyatları ile belirsizlik endeksi arasında tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmuştur. Buradan hareketle BRIC+Türkiye için ekonomik politika belirsizliğinin azaltılması ve geleceğe yönelik kalkınma ve büyüme stratejilerinin bu yönde uygulanması gerekmektedir.

Objectives. This study aimed to examine the physiological response to speed endurance soccer training (SEST), which involved the measurement of heart rate (HR), blood lactate (LAC), and blood pressure (BP) are measured during the four-week intervention period.
Materials and methods. The one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design was used in this study. The study comprised 15 male amateur soccer players with an average age of 16.13 ± 0.52 years. The participants’ mean height was 167.4 ± 4.63 cm, weight was 57.69 ± 12.11 kg, and BMI was 20.44 ± 3.45 kg/m². The data findings are presented using the mean and standard deviation. The paired t-test was employed to assess the impact of each group. The threshold for statistical significance was set at a p-value of less than 0.05. The effect size (ES) was calculated using Cohen’s ES as a metric to quantify the magnitude of the difference between the pretest and posttest stages.
Results. The HR results monitoring during the intervention period were in the high-intensity zone, with an average of 91.67 ± 0.6 % and a HR of 187.67 ± 1.24 bpm. No significant change was observed in the heart rate response from baseline to end of intervention. The LAC results showed that the lactate level was in the high category, namely an average of 11.03 ± 1.3 mmol∙L-1. BP indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest (p ≤ 0.05). The systolic blood pressure (SBP) demonstrated an increase of Δ % = 0.95, while the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) showed an increase of Δ % = 1.39.
Conclusions. The findings of this study indicate that SEST has a notable effect on the body’s physiological functions, namely on the cardiovascular system, anaerobic metabolism, and blood pressure. This effect was observed over a period of four weeks in amateur soccer players.

Introduction: Over the past two years, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and tuberculosis (TB) have killed over 5.7 million people globally. TB and COVID-19 continue to be significant public health problems worldwide. A growing body of research supports a link between socio-environmental factors and the transmission of COVID-19 and TB disease. Methods: This review article discussed the socio-environmental factors influencing the transmission, prevention, and control of COVID-19 and Tuberculosis disease. Result: In this review, we highlight similarities and differences between these two infectious diseases and explore the roles of socio-environmental factors (air pollution exposure and climate change) and socioeconomic factors in disease transmission. A comprehensive, integrated TB-COVID-19 management for prevention and disease control, which includes administrative, engineering, environmental control, effective personal protective equipment, and community-based public health activities were discussed. Conclusion: Understanding the similarities and differences between these two infectious diseases and the role of socio-environmental factors in disease transmission helps in planning and strengthening an integrated system for disease prevention and control strategies.
