Susceptibilidade do psilídeo asiático dos citros Diaphorina citri à nematoides entomopatogênicos
Authors: Doneze Gabriela Souza , Alves Viviane Sandra , Leite Junior Rui Pereira
Published: December 2024

O psilídeo asiático dos citros, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908, (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Liviidae), é uma das pragas mais importantes da citricultura, por ser o principal vetor das bactérias ‘Candidatus Liberibacter spp.’, agentes causais do Huanglongbing (HLB). Atualmente, aplicações de inseticidas químicos tem sido a base para o controle do psilídeo. Entretanto, esse método de controle tem apresentado baixa eficiência, além de gerar diversos problemas, como a resistência de populações do inseto à produtos químicos e aumento dos riscos para a saúde humana e para o meio ambiente. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a utilização de nematóides entomopatogênicos (NEPs) como uma estratégia alternativa e sustentável para o controle do psilídeo D. citri. Inicialmente, foram testadas a atividade de 10 isolados de NEPs dos gêneros Heterorhabditis e Steinernema contra a D. citri. As avaliações foram realizadas sobre adultos de D. citri em condições de laboratório. Posteriormente, foi testada a eficiência das concentrações de 50, 100, 150 e 200 de Juvenis Infectantes (JIs)/cm² dos isolados UENP 06 e NEPET 11 em causar mortalidade de adultos de D. citri. Os isolados NEPET 11 e UENP 06, ambos Heterorhabditis amazonensis, foram os mais eficientes no controle do psilídeo asiático dos citros, atingindo mortalidade confirmada de 68,25 e 53,00%, respectivamente. Em todas as concentrações de JIs testadas, os isolados UENP 06 e NEPET 11 apresentaram mortalidade confirmada sobre adultos de D.citri, não apresentando diferenças significativas entre concentrações e isolados de NEPs.
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Hip Preservation Surgery: Are They All the Same?
Authors: Sang Luke , Niknam Kian , Swarup Ishaan
Published: December 2024

Introduction:

Historically, for hip procedures, the Hip Outcome Score (HOS) and the International Hip Outcome Tool 12 (iHOT-12) have been commonly usedas instruments for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). However, these tools are often influenced by other factors, such as concurrent illnesses, making more standardized tools a preferable choice. Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-25 (PROMIS-25) is a standardized, validated PROMs metric that has correlated well with several other anatomy-specific PROMs tools. In this study, we aim to assess and compare the correlations between iHOT-12 and HOS with PROMIS-25 in adult and pediatric hip preservation patients.

Methods:

This study included patients indicated for a hip preservation procedure at our institution. All patients completed the iHOT-12, HOS, and PROMIS instruments through an electronic PRO platform before surgery. Spearman correlations were calculated separately for adult and pediatric patients between the various domains in each tool. A rho-to-z transformation analysis was conducted to assess whether there are differences in PROMs correlations between demographic factors.

Results:

A total of 62 patients were enrolled in this study from July 2020 to July 2023. The average age was 20.1 years (SD: 6.7 years), and more pediatric patients (64.5%) were enrolled than adult patients (35.4%). Multiple PROMIS domains, such as functional mobility, had strong or strong-moderate correlations with other hip PROMs in both adult (HOS activities of daily living: ρ = 0.76, P < 0.01; HOS Sports: ρ = 0.84, P < 0.01; iHOT-12: ρ = 0.85, P < 0.01) and pediatric (HOS activities of daily living: ρ = 0.79, P < 0.01; HOS Sports: ρ = 0.88, P < 0.01; iHOT-12: ρ = 0.66, P < 0.01) patients. Notable effects of age and sex were observed on correlations between PROMs (P< 0.05).

Conclusion:

There are strong correlations between iHOT-12, HOS, and PROMIS domains designed to measure similar constructs in both age groups. However, certain demographic differences may markedly influence the correlation between iHOT-12/HOS and PROMIS. PROMIS-25 can accurately capture outcomes for both adult and pediatric patients undergoing hip preservation surgery.

Comparison of Claim Reserves Methods Using Insurance Portfolio Generators
Authors:   Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, Vejmělka Petr , Cipra Tomáš
Published: December 2024

Different reserving methods can be used to predict claim values in non-life insurance. This article compares two different methodological approaches to reserving methods, namely, Chain-ladder (the traditional approach to reserving in non-life insurance) and state-space modeling (the modern approach based on recursive Kalman filtering). Moreover, the paper compares both methods with the involvement of clustering which divides claims into several groups according to their similarity and ensures greater homogeneity of data. To be able to compare the accuracy of reserve predictions numerically one suggests three types of generators of large insurance portfolios that represent well the behavior of the given methods in practice (one of them is derived directly from a real Czech non-life insurance claims portfolio). The obtained results may serve as a hint to improve the state-space methodology in order to give comparable results with classical approaches to reserving since in future the state-space modeling will be important for micro reserving where the “clustering” gains nearly a form of individual policy contracts.
LEGISLAÇÕES EM EDUCAÇÃO EM SAÚDE NO ENFRENTAMENTO DA ESPOROTRICOSE NO BRASIL: LEVANTAMENTO DAS LEIS E PROPOSIÇÕES
Authors: Sá Ana Carolina Coelho Rocha de
Published: December 2024

A esporotricose, uma doença negligenciada, evidencia o descaso das autoridades públicas em garantir a saúde da população. Diante dessa realidade, é urgente a implementação de medidas educativas em saúde para o enfrentamento da epidemia, com destaque para a criação de legislações que obriguem as autoridades a agir. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar as legislações e proposições, tanto federais quanto estaduais, relacionadas à educação em saúde no combate à esporotricose no Brasil. A pesquisa documental, consultou dados legislativos entre 2013 e 2024, e revelou a falta de normas jurídicas adequadas: não há uma lei federal específica, apenas um projeto de lei em tramitação, e, entre os 25 estados e o Distrito Federal, apenas Amazonas, Espírito Santo e Rio de Janeiro possuem legislações estaduais sobre o tema. Conclui-se que é essencial regulamentar leis que promovam a disseminação de informações sobre a doença, garantindo à população o acesso a medidas eficazes para a proteção da saúde coletiva e individual, além de capacitar os cidadãos a se tornarem protagonistas na resolução de seus problemas de saúde e na transformação de sua realidade.

Introduction: We sought to develop a model that predicts lymph node invasion (LNI) in patients with intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer incorporating preoperative clinical and 68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA PET/CT) parameters.
Methods: A cohort of 413 consecutive patients diagnosed with prostate cancer who underwent 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT prior to radical prostatectomy from 2015–2020 was used to develop and validate the model. The cohort was split into a learning (70%) and a validation group (30%). The former was used to identify clinical and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT parameters (number and diameter of PET-positive lymph nodes) for prediction of pathologic LNI by applying multivariable logistic regression analyses. The discrimination ability of the model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and internal validation was performed using the validation cohort.
Results: One-hundred sixty-three men (39%) were categorized as high-risk, 168 (41%) as unfavorable-intermediate-risk, and 82 (20%) as favorable-intermediate-risk. Thirty-one patients (7.5%) had LNI on final pathology. All underwent extended lymph node dissection. Clinical stage, the presence of PET-positive lymph nodes, and diameter of the largest PET-positive node were included in the final predictive model. Four different categories were defined for estimating the risk for LNI. Internal validation was completed after applying the four-tire classification on both the learning and validation groups and achieving similar results. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the model were 97%, 54%, 15%, and 99%, respectively, and area under the ROC curve was 0.906 (95% confidence interval 0.83–0.95, p<0.001). Using a 5% cutoff as a threshold for performing lymph node dissection, only one patient with LNI on final pathology would have been classified erroneously as node negative, while 206 (50%) men would have been spared an unwarranted lymph node dissection.
Conclusions: We present a novel prediction model for LNI that incorporates clinical staging and molecular imaging data. Pending further validation, this model may improve the risk stratification and patient selection for lymph node dissection at time of radical prostatectomy.
Toplumsal Uyumun Temelleri: Théophile Funck-Brentano’nun Sosyal Ahlak Teorisi
Authors: Er Neslihan
Published: December 2024

Théophile Funck-Brentano (1830-1906), Fransız felsefeci ve sosyolog olarak tanınır. Ahlak felsefesi, hukuk ve toplumsal konular üzerine odaklanarak önemli katkılarda bulunmuş, çağdaşları üzerinde de etkili olmuştur. Hukuk sosyolojisinin öncüleri arasında yer alan Funck-Brentano’nun eserleri, insan doğası ve toplum analizini içerir ve dönemin yenilikçi düşüncelerini yansıtır. Funck-Brentano’nun adı bugün çok fazla öne çıkmasa da özellikle hukuk sosyolojisi ve ahlak felsefesi alanlarındaki katkıları önemli ölçüde değerli kabul edilmektedir. Onun teorilerinde toplumla birey arasındaki ilişkiler, ahlaki normlar ve hukuk sistemi merkezi bir öneme sahiptir. Funck-Brentano, sosyal düzenin ve ahlaki kuralların bireylerin davranışları üzerindeki etkilerine odaklanarak toplumsal düzenin korunmasında ahlaki normların oynadığı role dikkat çeker. Ayrıca, Funck-Brentano, Le Play’in sosyoloji ve toplum bilimi üzerine kurduğu ekole bağlılık göstermiştir. Le Play ekolü, toplumsal yapıları ve aile unsurlarını inceleyerek, toplum üzerinde uzun vadeli etkiler yaratabilecek politikaların geliştirilmesini savunmuştur. Funck-Brentano, özellikle Thomas Hobbes ve Jean-Jacques Rousseau gibi filozoflar tarafından geliştirilmiş olan toplumsal sözleşme teorisine önemli katkılar yapmış ve bu teoriyi modern toplumların ihtiyaçlarına uygun şekilde yeniden yorumlamıştır. Ona göre, toplumsal sözleşme, bireylerin birlikte yaşama ve karşılıklı hakları tanıma konusundaki anlaşmasıdır. Bu anlaşma, toplumsal ahlakın temel yapıtaşını oluşturur. Bireyler, toplumun bir üyesi olarak belirli ahlaki yükümlülükler üstlenirken, toplum da bireylerin haklarını koruma görevini üstlenir. Funck-Brentano, ahlaki normların sadece bireysel davranışları yönlendirmekle kalmayıp, aynı zamanda toplumsal istikrar ve uyumu destekleme işlevi gördüğünü ileri sürer. Bu normlar, bireyler arasındaki ilişkileri düzenleyerek toplumun genel çıkarlarını korur ve bireylerin kişisel çıkarlarını toplumun çıkarlarıyla uyumlu hale getirir. Funck-Brentano’nun düşüncesinde hukuk, toplum tarafından kabul edilmiş ve yaptırım gücüne sahip olan ahlaki normların organize edilip resmileştirilmiş bir dışavurumu olarak şekil bulan bir formudur. Ancak, her ahlaki olanın yasal olmadığı ve her yasal olanın ahlaki olmadığı durumlar olur. Bu sebeple, ahlaki ve hukuki düzenlemeler arasında sürekli bir uyum sağlama süreci gereklidir. Bu çalışmada, Funck-Brentano’nun sosyal ahlak anlayışını ele alan eserleri üzerinden onun hukuk sosyolojisi ve ahlak felsefesi alanlarındaki düşünceleri incelenecektir. Funck-Brentano’nun ahlak felsefesi, toplumsal sözleşme ve hukuk teorilerine olan katkıları, onun eserlerinde nasıl işlendiği ve söz konusu kavramların modern toplumlar üzerindeki etkileri tartışılacaktır.

Authors: Mohan J
Published: December 2024

Surface crack detection in buildings and bridges is critical for ensuring structural integrity and preventing
potential failures. It presents a performance analysis of surface crack detection using image processing
techniques, offering an efficient and non-invasive solution. Traditional manual inspection methods are labor -
intensive, subjective, and prone to human error, making automated systems more desirable. In this study, we
utilize digital image processing techniques such as edge detection, thresholding, and morphological operations
to identify and quantify surface cracks. Key performance indicators such as detection accuracy, computational
efficiency, and robustness to varying environmental conditions are evaluated. The experimental results
demonstrate the system's effectiveness in detecting fine cracks with high accuracy and low false positive rates,
providing a reliable alternative for infrastructure maintenance. Additionally, the proposed method reduces
inspection time and improves decision-making in the assessment of structural health. This study contributes
to advancing automated crack detection systems, which are crucial for modernizing maintenance practices.

Point of View (POV) Promotion of View and Hearing through Virtual-Based Tourism as a Stimulus for Tourists' Interest in Visiting
Authors: Rahayu Denok , Septiawan Bambang , Hamidah Aqnes Dwi Sakti
Published: December 2024

Point of view (POV) of virtual-based tourism as the perspective of each individual on virtual-based tourism. Following the era of development, promotional media are very diverse and can be chosen according to needs. One way of promotion is visual promotion through virtual-based tourism in the form of videos that display the conditions of tourist attractions in a visual-auditory display so that viewers can see what is in the tourist attraction. Tourism products are service products that are in great demand by tourists to relieve fatigue from all daily activities. Taman Kebon Rojo Blitar is a tourist attraction that can be an alternative choice for tourism that provides a combination of flora, fauna, and artificial tourism in the form of play areas and culinary delights located around the park. The eye-catching atmosphere of the Taman Kebon Rojo tourist spot is very much needed to make the appearance of the audio-visual video attractive and can be a stimulus for tourists' interest in visiting. The objective of this research is to analyze whether the point of view of the audio-visual promotion through a virtual-based tourist display could provide a stimulus for video viewers to visit the tourist spot directly. The research method used a quantitative method by employing a survey through a questionnaire and showing a video of the Taman Kebon Rojo Blitar tourist spot to respondents. After that, it is calculated by applying multiple linear regression to determine whether the audio-visual promotion in the form of a video could provide a stimulus for tourists' interest in visiting. The results prove that virtual promotion which consists of promotional objectives (X1) and tourism promotional mix (X2) is able to significantly increase tourist interest in visiting (Y) both partially and simultaneously for 58,9%.

Published: December 2024

Purpose

High levels of preoperative anxiety amongst pediatric patients can lead to postoperative complications and increased healthcare costs, necessitating effective non-pharmacological interventions. This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of “Surgery Prep,” a gamified virtual reality (VR) app that features a perioperative walkthrough designed to help pediatric patients psychologically prepare for surgery.

Method

The VR application was implemented by a Child Life Specialist (CLS) at a hospital using Meta Quest VR hardware to 15 eligible patients ages 5 to 14 years scheduled for a surgical procedure requiring anesthesia. Pediatric patients and their parents were surveyed to assess the application’s feasibility and acceptability and effectiveness into psychologically preparation and reducing pre-operative anxiety in pediatric patients before surgery.

Result

The results of this study demonstrated the feasibility of a VR perioperative walkthrough by the CLS team who recruited 15 pediatric patients with 3 refusals to participate. All patients completed the study. Acceptability was highlighted by patients and parents reporting the VR experience to be fun, interactive, engaging, and a tool for distraction and psychological surgery preparation. This matched a reasonably high average System Usability score of 72.2 (95% CI = 64.0 to 80.3). The most common complaint from parents and patients was that the headset was heavy.

Conclusion

This study found that a VR app designed to reduce preoperative anxiety was feasible for deployment by CLS in a hospital and acceptable by pediatric patients and their parents. The VR experience introduced a means to psychologically prepare patients for surgery and distract them while they await surgery in a hospital.

A cirurgia bariátrica têm se mostrado uma alternativa eficaz no tratamento da obesidade e das diversas comorbidades associadas a ela. No entanto, existem diversas complicações atreladas aos quatro métodos cirúrgicos utilizados para tratar o excesso de peso, sendo os mais utilizados, o by-pass gástrico e a gastrectomia vertical. Com isso, o presente artigo tem por objetivo fornecer informações úteis sobre as complicações associadas ao pós-operatório de cirurgia bariátrica tanto para profissionais de saúde quanto para pacientes, promovendo uma abordagem mais consciente e equilibrada sobre o tratamento. Para isso, foram selecionados 17 artigos para a análise final e elaboração da revisão, nas plataformas Google Acadêmico, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS) e National Library of Medicine (PubMed), nos idiomas português e inglês, durante o mês de setembro de 2024. Os resultados encontrados permitiram a discussão detalhada das complicações associadas à cirurgia e ao pós operatório, sendo as carências nutricionais e a recidiva, bem como as hérnias abdominais e suas complicações, as mais prevalentes. Portanto, fica claro a importância de um acompanhamento rigoroso e de intervenções adequadas para melhorar a qualidade de vida, minimizando tais complicações e maximizando os benefícios da cirurgia bariátrica.

Published: December 2024

A procura por qualidade de vida não está somente relacionada a uma boa alimentação, prática regular de esportes ou boas noites de sono. A saúde bucal é considerada a porta de entrada para o sucesso a longo prazo. O presente estudo teve como objetivo realizar uma análise comparativa sobre a taxa de sobrevivência de implantes cone Morse (Systhex®, 3.5/13mm, torque > 45 e < 60 Ncm, Avannt® e Atractt® Curitiba, Brasil) em maxila anterior superior, sem carga imediata. Foram incluídos pacientes do sexo masculino e feminino, com idades entre 28 e 65 anos, sem doenças pré-existentes, não fumantes e não alcoólatras, sendo o período de reabertura de 90 dias. Foram analisados 413 implantes, por meio de radiografias periapicais, sondagem clínica e tomografia computadorizada, durante um período de acompanhamento de até 10 anos. Implantes com mais de 3mm de perda de óssea em relação à crista óssea mesial ou distal e implantes com de 3mm de sondagem em relação à crista óssea foram considerados perdidos além de implantes perdidos no momento da reabertura ou por eventos adversos. Como resultados, obtivemos uma taxa de 97,65% de taxa de sucesso nos implantes com 10 anos de acompanhamento e de 98% de taxa de sucesso em implantes com 6 anos de acompanhamento demonstrando com 99,9% de certeza que não há diferença estatística significativa entre os dois grupos. A região anatômica mais afetada foi a do canino superior direita. Como conclusão podemos afirmar que a taxa de sobrevivência dos implantes Atractt com 10 anos mesmo sendo uma pouco menor ao longo do tempo não foi estatisticamente relevante quando comparados com os implantes Avantt® em um período de 6 anos, sendo ambos indicados para utilização em região anterior superior, atingindo a taxa de sucesso semelhante a encontrada na literatura atual.

A coleta de dados utiliza métodos estatísticos e questionários para captar percepções de moradores e gestores, complementada por inspeções in loco com observações visuais e levantamento fotográfico. Os resultados indicam que a falta de impermeabilização adequada e falhas na vedação das esquadrias são as principais causas das patologias observadas. O estudo conclui que o reconhecimento precoce dos agentes causadores e a aplicação de técnicas corretivas são cruciais para a recuperação eficaz das edificações.
Correlation of Rock Mass Rating (RMR), Q-system and Geological Strength Index (GSI) in Pre-Cambrian Dolomite based on field data
Authors: Raj Joshi Pusker , Kharel Milan , Poudel Ashok
Published: December 2024

Over the recent decades, several authors have documented empirical associations among rock mass classification systems, which are derived from extensive measurements and observations under particular site conditions and in various geological regimes. This underscores how important the reliability of a correlation equations is, and how critical is the apprehension of each systems objective. Consequently, none of these formulas can claim universal applicability in the contemporary context. Further to this, to ensure effective design and evaluation of an underground opening, it is essential to possess a comprehensive understanding of the geological, structural geological, hydrogeological, and geotechnical attributes of the excavated rock. In the context of the Tanahu Hydropower Project in Nepal, diversion tunnels and auxiliary galleries are being constructed in fractured dolomite. 644 tunnel profiles were mapped, and rock mass was classified using three empirical systems; GSI, RMR and Q. After processing and plotting the in-situ data, correlation equations for the three indices were examined using regression modeling aiming to analyze the results and identify the most optimal equation. These relationships were then compared with those found in existing literature. The developed regression models reveal reliable correlations between RMR, Q, and GSI indices, enabling the engineering geological evaluation for a broad range of rock mass qualities. These mathematical formulations of geo-mechanical indices will serve as valuable tools for tunnelling professionals during decision-making processes, preliminary design phases, stability assessments, and estimates for support systems.

Based on empirical evidence from field surveys, morphometric parameters of mudflows were determined. In laboratory conditions, data on the geological structure of slopes, physical and mechanical properties of soils, etc. were obtained. On the site, three mudflow basins were identified, which in case of prolonged heavy rainfall and snowmelt form mudflows causing damage to various-purpose structures, including the ropeway, ski track No.1, engineering protection facilities, haul road, antenna-mast structure No.2, and pedestrian crossing. Based on field surveys, it was established that the existing mudflow protection structures were insufficient to ensure full safety of the existing facilities and adjacent structures. Based on these calculations, the following measures were recommended to stabilise the situation, namely along the Sulimovsky Creek: installation of flexible anti-mudflow barriers, arrangement of a network of drainage ditches, and erosion control. Thus, the structure type recommended for Section Line No. 3 was unsupported mudflow barrier 5-6 m high and 15 m wide. The structure type for Section Line No. 4 was unsupported mudflow barrier 4-5 m high and up to 15 m wide.

Auckland has a sub-tropical climate, with warm and humid summers which can be associated with intense rainfall. January 2023 was Auckland’s wettest month since records began. The heaviest rainfall produced widespread flooding across Auckland on Friday 27 January described as at least a 1-in-200-year event. Two weeks later Cyclone Gabrielle hit Auckland. West Auckland recorded 248 mm of rain.
Tragically these events resulted in six deaths in Auckland, three of which occurred when landslides hit buildings. Two volunteer firefighters lost their lives while undertaking search and rescue operations, and tens of thousands of landslides were triggered.
This paper describes the storm events, the landslides they triggered, and the emergency response work undertaken by engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers.
On an atypical moraine of the Swiss Plateau and the presence of a continuous aquifer between Lausanne Aquitanian grey molasse and Quaternary deposits
Authors: Chapuis Flavien , Zapata Franco Daniela
Published: December 2024

Switzerland is geographically divided into three geologically differentiated regions linked to the Alpine orogeny: the Alps, the Plateau and the Jura. The Plateau separates the other two entities and constitutes the glacial foreland. From a stratigraphic point of view, it is classically characterised by a sub-horizontal molasse overlaid by Quaternary glacial or periglacial deposits inherited from the Würmian glaciation. The quintessential morainic facies of the northern Alps is the ground moraine, which varies in thickness but is often metric to plurimetric. This moraine has low permeabilities (less than 10^-6 m/s) and generally separates the underlying aquifers (present in the discontinuities of the molasse) from the aquifers present in the superficial moraine and various periglacial formations.
In this article, we discuss an example in the northern region of Lausanne, where the subsurface was explored for the design of a shallow railway tunnel, at the interface between molasse and Quaternary deposits. Instead of the classic ground moraine, an atypical silty moraine was encountered. The granulometric characteristics of this moraine are discussed. In-situ permeability values measured, pumping tests conducted to understand the site's hydrogeology, and monitoring of piezometric surveys show that this atypical more permeable moraine does not guarantee a tight waterproofed separation between the Lausanne Aquitanian grey molasse and the Quaternary deposits. A continuous vertical aquifer connects the two stratigraphic units and had to be taken into account for the design of the structures, leading to the choice of a sealed (initially drained) tunnel. This experience highlights the extreme heterogeneity of glacial and periglacial formations and the need to carefully study them to properly design structures and control environmental impacts (groundwater lowering).

Published: December 2024

This paper constitutes part of a Technical Report studying soil instabilities and rockfalls that occurred during the heavy rainfall of September 2023, entitled Daniel,” in a total length of 4.8 km of the provincial road Old Epidaurus-Galata belonging to the municipality of Troizinia-Methana of the Region of Attica in Greece.
The Department of Technical Works of the Piraeus and Islands Regional Unit (Attica, Greece), oversees the restoration of the damage and the removal of risks manifested in the above-mentioned area. On the rocky slopes of the road, as well as in the wider area, during the occurrence of intense rainfall and flooding events in September 2023, were activated instability phenomena which include:
Rock falls in the form of overturning and rock wedge slides,
Flows and slides of lateral bedrock and material cone bedrock,
Flat slides and slides of the rock masses, and rockslides of boulders and boulder cones.
Slumps and detachments of individual rock fragments
In the present study, the geological and geotechnical characteristics of the conditions and problems of potential instabilities that were activated after the extreme weather phenomena and proposals and immediate measures to address them are presented.
Furthermore, the paper implements two well-known existing rockfall hazard assessment methodologies; a qualitative and a quantitative one that validate the hazard in selected parts of the area under consideration.
Since this section of the provincial road has been closed after the occurrence of the devastating weather event of “Daniel” and because this road is connected with important tourist resorts as well as being the basic road line to many towns and villages in the Piraeus and Islands Regional Unit, the immediate and secure restoration of the described damage and removal of risk are of major importance for the Regional Authority of Attica.

Personality and Situational Factors Influencing Organizational Behavior in Academic Settings: A Comprehensive Theoretical Overview
Authors: Mitevksa Mayiana
Published: December 2024

Organizational behavior in university settings is shaped by a dynamic interplay of personality traits, situational factors, and organizational culture. This study explores these factors in depth, focusing on their influence on adaptation, job satisfaction, and leadership styles within academic institutions. Using widely-accepted psychological frameworks, such as the Big Five Personality Traits and transformational leadership theories, this study provides a theoretical foundation for analyzing organizational behavior in higher education.
IMPACT OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ON CAREER CHOICE IN EARLY ADULTHOOD: A REVIEW
Authors: Tsvetkova Paulina , Mitevska Mayiana
Published: December 2024

This paper is an attempt to trace how the phenomenon of emotional intelligence interacts with the process of choosing an appropriate and desirable career for any individual in early adulthood. To this end, leading theoretical models of emotional intelligence are first compared. Important aspects and manifestations in young adulthood are indicated. A theoretical review of various studies that demonstrate a correlation between emotional intelligence and career choice is presented, and the influence of a variable such as gender is indicated. The conclusions drawn are cause for further reflection and research on emotional intelligence and career orientations in order for each adolescent to reach the ultimate need, according to Maslow, which is to self-actualize and achieve well-being in his or her life.

invisibilidade da população em situação de rua nas residências médicas
Authors: Schluter Laila de Albuquerque , Paiva Marcele Bocater Paulo de , Romano Valéria Ferreira
Published: December 2024

A Política Nacional para Inclusão Social da População em Situação de Rua (PNISPSR) foi publicada em 2008 com diretrizes e ações públicas voltadas para o desenvolvimento social desses indivíduos. Estima-se que, em 2022, 236 mil indivíduos vivem em situação de rua no Brasil. Trazer visibilidade à essa população é olhar para o indivíduo de forma integral, entendendo que sua saúde não é limitada a doenças, mas também às suas subjetividades, sendo essencial a discussão em conjunto com o paradigma sistêmico nacional e seus atravessamentos individuais e coletivos. A Medicina de Família e Comunidade se norteia por um currículo baseado em competência, que enquadra como essencial o conhecimento das especificidades da população em situação de rua (PSR). Dessa forma, o comprometimento com a PSR e a PNISPSR perpassa pela instituição formativa desses especialistas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi alisar a temática da PSR no ensino dos programas de residência médica, a partir de revisão integrativa. Foram utilizadas as bases bibliográficas Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e PubMed. Três artigos foram incluídos para análise e discussão. Percebe-se, portanto, a escassez de publicações acerca da PSR nos Programas de Residência Médica. Essa invisibilidade impacta na formação profissional dos médicos, perpetuando, por fim, as iniquidades vivenciadas pela PSR na esfera da saúde.
Aplicações e confiabilidade da Escala de Vulnerabilidade Mental na Atenção Primária à Saúde
Authors: Medeiros Roriz Rafael , Sasaki Thiago de Sousa
Published: December 2024

A elevada demanda de sofrimento mental traz novos desafios para a Atenção Primária à Saúde, que é responsável por se adaptar às necessidades da população assistida de modo a otimizar a promoção de saúde, acolhimento e equidade. O estudo da vulnerabilidade mental permite identificar indivíduos com menor resiliência diante de estresse psicológico significativo, o que pode resultar em comportamento desadaptativo e prejuízo funcional. Tal análise permite direcionar estratégias de saúde para fortalecimento dos mecanismos de enfrentamento de pessoas ou comunidades diante de situações de risco. No entanto, o repertório de ferramentas para avaliação de risco e vulnerabilidade em português brasileiro carece de escalas adaptadas para a investigação no contexto da saúde mental. A Escala de Vulnerabilidade Mental apresenta um conjunto de sintomas cuja soma indica uma maior predisposição ao desenvolvimento de transtornos psiquiátricos, além de possuir correlações estabelecidas com diversas condições e desfechos clínicos. O presente estudo tem por objetivo traduzir a Escala de Vulnerabilidade Mental para o português brasileiro, avaliando suas propriedades psicométricas e possibilidades de aplicação no contexto da Atenção Primária à Saúde. Foi realizada uma pesquisa transversal quantitativa com tradução e retrotradução do questionário validado em inglês, seguido da aplicação em uma amostra não probabilística acidental composta por 180 usuários de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde sem segregação por sexo ou gênero. Os resultados das estatísticas de confiabilidade revelam alta consistência interna dos itens, indicando elevada correlação dos itens com a escala total, com pouco impacto individual das questões na confiabilidade global. A análise permite concluir que a ferramenta apresenta medidas consistentes e passíveis de análise para validação da escala adaptada em português. As aplicações do instrumento envolvem rastreio de sofrimento mental, método auxiliar para estudo de território e estudos de correlação com fatores sociodemográficos, aspectos clínicos e dados epidemiológicos.
