Sosyal Girişimcilik Niyetinin Karmaşık Örüntüsünün İzinde: Sosyal Girişimcilik Öncülleri, Duygusal Zekâ ve Kolektivizmin Rolü
Authors: Dülger Taşkın Meral
Published: November 2024

Sosyal girişimcilik, sosyal zorlukların ele alınmasında önemli bir rol oynayan ve büyüyen bir alandır. Hem kârlılık hem de toplum üzerinde olumlu etki yaratma potansiyelleri nedeniyle sosyal girişimciler yeni neslin ilgisini çekmektedir. Geleceğin girişimcileri olma ihtimalleri nedeniyle, işletme öğrencilerinin konuya yaklaşımı önemlidir. Sosyal girişimcilik niyeti, bireyin sosyal bir sorunu çözmek için bir iş kurmayı planlama eğilimini ifade eder. Sosyal girişimcilik, bireysel kazanç ötesinde sosyal fayda sağlamayı hedeflediği için, sosyal girişimcilik niyetini etkileyen faktörlerin hem bireysel hem de bağlamsal olarak incelenmesi konuyu daha fazla aydınlatabilir. Dolayısıyla, sosyal girişimcilik niyetinin bireyin bilgi, duyarlılık, sosyal sorumluluk arzusu ve duygusal zekâ düzeyine dayandığı düşünülmektedir. Dahası, gruba bireyden daha fazla değer veren kültürel bir yönelim olan kolektivizmin, benzer varsayımları paylaşması nedeniyle sosyal girişimcilik niyetinde rol oynayabileceği öngörülmektedir. Ancak, özellikle duygusal zekânın ve bireysel bir değişken olarak kolektivizmin sosyal girişimcilik niyeti üzerindeki etkisi ile ilgili yazın oldukça sınırlıdır. Bu doğrultuda, bu çalışma, sosyal girişimcilik niyetini etkileyen öncüllerin, duygusal zekânın ve kolektivizmin işletme fakültesi öğrencilerinin sosyal girişimcilik niyeti üzerindeki etkisini Planlı Davranış Teorisi çerçevesinde araştırmaktadır. 236 öğrenciden toplanan anket verileri kullanılarak yapılan regresyon analizleri sosyal girişimcilik öncülleri ve duygusal zekâ ile sosyal girişimcilik niyeti arasında olumlu ve anlamlı ilişkiler olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, sosyal girişimcilik öncüllerinden “Ahlaki ve Sosyal Görev” ve “Öz Yeterlilik ve Sosyal Destek”in ve duygusal zekânın alt boyutlarından “Sosyal Farkındalık” ile "Kendi Kendini Yönetme"nin sosyal girişimcilik niyetine en fazla katkıda bulunduğu saptanmıştır. Kolektivizm düzeyi yüksek öğrencilerin sosyal girişimcilik niyetinin ise daha yüksek olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bulgular, sosyal girişimciliği teşvik etmeyi amaçlayan eğitim kurumları, karar vericiler ile girişimci adayları için çıkarımlar sunmaktadır.

Published: November 2024

Objectives − This study aims to compare the clinical and analytical presentation of Central precocious puberty (CPP), considering age.Methods − An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted on children diagnosed with CPP at a level III hospital, between January 2002 and April 2022. Clinical, auxological, sociodemographic, laboratory, and imaging parameters were analyzed.Results − Out of the 52 children studied, the majority were girls (N=44). The median age of puberty onset in girls was 6.79 years and the mean age at first consultation of 8.13 years, with a significantly lower age at hospital referral (7.65 years; P=0.045) compared to boys. Idiopathic etiology was predominant in both. In girls, breast development appeared at older mean ages (P=0.009), while pubic hair growth and accelerated growth were associated with younger ages at puberty onset (P=0.021; P=0.018, respectively). Basal and peak levels of gonadotropin hormones were higher in girls, although not statistically significant. In girls, age at puberty onset correlated negatively with standard deviation of body mass index (P=0.023), while age at first consultation correlated positively with bone age (P<0.001), and was associated with younger ages at Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone stimulation test (P=0.020).Conclusion − This study provides innovative and relevant findings that enhance understanding of CPP presentation according to age, thereby improving clinical management of this condition.

Published: November 2024

Objective − The report presents a case of an adolescent girl with vertigo resulting from unilateral vestibular hypofunction, diagnosed after extensive pediatric and otorhinolaryngological evaluations.Case Report − A seventeen-year-old female adolescent sought medical assistance at the pediatric emergency hospital service on several occasions within one year due to feelings of weakness and darkened vision occurring during abrupt standing, exposure to heat, and stress. Symptoms were initially attributed to school obligations, low blood pressure, and the menstrual cycle. After an episode that also involved a brief loss of consciousness, an extensive neurological evaluation was conducted, excluding epileptogenic causes. Subsequent diagnostic procedures included evoked visual potential tests, psychological assessments, laboratory blood tests, thyroid hormone assays, and Borrelia burgdorferi serology, all yielding normal results. Finally, otorhinolaryngological examinations were performed, including pure tone audiometry, tympanometry, video head impulse tests, videonystagmography, and vestibular evoked myogenic potential tests. These tests indicated symptoms arising from unilateral labyrinthine hypofunction of the inner ear. The patient underwent vestibular rehabilitation, resulting in symptom resolution and confirmed functional recovery.Conclusion − Diagnosing vertigo in adolescence is challenging, as impaired balance can manifest as a symptom of various diseases. Presentation with atypical symptoms for peripherally caused balance disorders complicates diagnosis. Otorhinolaryngologists and audio-vestibular diagnosticians play pivotal roles in establishing accurate diagnoses.

Authors: Pires Joana F. , Bileu Ventura Inês , Santos Maria Helena
Published: November 2024

Objective − The aim of this study is to raise awareness about External Occipital Protuberance (EOP) enlargement in children, its typically benign anatomical variant, and the importance of considering associated conditions in diagnosis and management.Case Report − We reviewed the cases of four male patients, presenting with EOP enlargement. Among the cases, one involved a newborn diagnosed with Menkes disease, a rare genetic disorder affecting copper transport, which was associated with occipital exostosis. The other three cases involved adolescents with varying degrees of EOP enlargement, linked to factors such as prior trauma and excessive screen time. Conclusion − While EOP enlargement is generally a benign anatomical variant, this study underscores the importance of differential diagnosis, particularly in the pediatric population. Clinicians should be aware of the potential, albeit rare, associations with serious conditions such as Menkes disease. A comprehensive approach to diagnosis and management is recommended, especially in symptomatic cases.
On the cutting edge of nonoperative treatment of distal radius fractures
Authors:   , van Delft Eva Anna Klazina
Published: November 2024

Most patients with a nondisplaced or adequately reduced DRF can be
treated nonoperatively in a cast with excellent functional results, as long
as no secondary displacement occurs during follow up. Nonetheless, the
optimal nonoperative treatment strategy is still a matter of debate, as no
level I evidence existed at the start of this thesis.
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the optimal treatment strategy
of nonoperatively treated DRFs and to answer the following questions:
• What is the status praesens of nonoperatively treated patients with
DRFs?
• What is the optimal casting period in nonoperatively treated DRFs?
• What outcome might be expected in the treatment of children and
elderly with DRFs?
• What future research concerning the nonoperative treatment of DRFs
is required?

This thesis produces new insights in the nonoperative treatment strategy of
DRFs. The studies support a change for daily practice towards
a shorter period of immobilisation for both non- or minimally displaced and
displaced and adequately reduced DRFs. The studies have led to an adjustment
of the Dutch guidelines on the nonoperative treatment of non- or minimally
displaced DRFs. The advised duration of cast immobilisation has been changed
into three weeks for non- or minimally displaced DRF and four weeks for
displaced and adequately reduced DRFs. In this thesis, suggestions for the
treatment of DRFs in children and octogenarians were presented. Furthermore,
recommendations for future research have been done, which will eventually
safely minimalise the nonoperative treatment of DRFs to the maximum.

Authors: Duc Le Doan Minh , Loi Huynh
Published: November 2024

On the basis of the accounting information system, strategic management accounting (SMA) is applied to organizations, overcoming inherent barriers. SMA strongly promotes the role of supporting managers in implementing strategies towards sustainable development. There are many studies in Vietnam that identify the factors forming SMA in companies. Previous studies have provided evidence of the relationship between SMA and business performance. However, the core problem that is still lacking is the organization of information for SMA reports. It is necessary to design a process of collecting, analyzing, processing, and reporting appropriate information to serve the strategic decisions of managers. This article conducts research on this issue with the aim of filling the practical gap and meeting the current practical needs of managers. As a result, the article identifies appropriate information for SMA reports and their relationships from sources inside and outside the company. The article proposes many directional solutions to collect information, apply SMA techniques to process and report useful long-term, wide-ranging information, suitable for strategic decision making.
Application of AI to minimize information risk in tax control: Evidence from Bulgaria
Authors: Zhelev Zhelyo
Published: November 2024

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in tax control is becoming more and more relevant in the conditions of globalization and digitalization of the economy, which creates a need for effective mechanisms for managing information risk. With the growing volume of data and the complexity of the tax processes, the risk of deviations, fraud and inconsistencies increases significantly. This article aims to examine applied AI tools and approaches that can minimize information risk in tax control, as well as to analyze their effectiveness through the prism of practice in Bulgaria. The methodology is based on correlation analysis, which measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between pairs of variables. A Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the variable "Artificial Intelligence" and the different forms of tax control. Kendall's tau-b correlation coefficient was used to assess the linear relationship between the variables of collection, processing, verification, and management of tax information related to the application of AI. The main results show that AI has a positive and statistically significant effect on risk management and cybersecurity, suggesting the potential to improve data protection and reliability. However, the verification and revision of tax information needs to significantly impact AI, which points to the need for further development of these technologies for better integration. In conclusion, the application of AI offers significant opportunities to minimize information risk in tax control but requires targeted adaptation and refinement in specific aspects of control processes.

Published: November 2024

Biliary atresia is the predominant etiology of cholestasis in early infancy. Impairment of bile fluid excretion results in elevated bilirubin levels, causing a yellowing of the skin. Ursodeoxycholic acid is well-established to enhance liver function when taken promptly. The application of ursodeoxycholic acid for treating cholestasis in pediatric patients remains contentious. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of ursodeoxycholic acid treatment on liver biomarkers in infant with cholestasis. This was retrospective cohort study in infant with cholestasis who underwent ursodeoxycholic acid treatment for two weeks. Secondary data including aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, and direct bilirubin were extracted from the medical records of the outpatient clinic in the Department of Child Health at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Indonesia (January 2020 - December 2023). The data was devided into two groups based on biopsy and examined utilizing SPSS version 23. This study included 64 participants. Statistics show an equal gender ratio. Ursodeoxycholic acid treatment in paediatric cholestasis patients can lower liver biomarker level. Levels of total bilirubin and direct bilirubin diminished in individuals both groups. Notable levels were recorded in individuals with normal biopsy outcomes (p=0.007 and p=0.012). Administration of ursodeoxycholic acid markedly elevated ALT levels in both the normal and abnormal liver biopsy outcome groups (p=0.031 and p=0.006). Ursodeoxycholic acid has been shown to be effective in improving liver function in infant with cholestasis. In order to avoid negative effects, the medication must be carefully administered to people who already have liver fibrosis.

Dramatic policy failure: The necessity of a renewed search for causes

In their starting years (in the early 1990s), Mark Bovens and Paul ’t Hart were driven by the ambition to formulate an all-encompassing theory of policy failure. A few papers were published and a book manuscript was written but never published. The rise of postmodernism gave rise to the realization that the concept of policy failure was highly subjective and it was therefore impossible to formulate a grand theory of policy failure. They went on to write a book about the many ways in which failure might be defined, interpreted and measured – abandoning their search for causes.

In this paper, we revisit their early work and contemplate whether research into the causes of policy failure is desirable and feasible. We summarize their early insights and apply them to the analysis of a recent case of dramatic policy failure: The Groningen earthquakes resulting from drilling gas fields. We conclude that the early theoretical insights are still effective and seductive. We argue that the search for causes and, indeed, a grand theory of policy failure is both warranted and desirable.

Diploma democracy: Reconsidering the diagnosis, sources, and solutions

This article offers a theoretical review of the concept and theory of diploma democracy. We build up the review along three lines. First, we center the extent to which diploma democracy can be labelled ‘democratic’. We position the idea of diploma democracy in the broader political and philosophical literature on representation, pillarization, and inequality. Second, we focus on the ‘diploma’ in diploma democracy. To that purpose, we discuss to what extent the findings in the literature on diploma democracy reflect meritocracy (which aims to reward intellectual or performative excellence) caused by success in higher education, or rather reflect more deeply rooted societal inequalities that only come to light in higher education. Third, we connect the two building blocks ‘diploma’ and ‘democracy’ together. We discuss the societal and political impact that the theory of diploma democracy has had in the Netherlands, and engage with institutional measures that may be considered to moderate diploma democracy and its effects.

Thinking beyond existing boxes: A public administration perspective on the migration society

Migration is a key topic in political and societal debates in Europe. Public administration is also showing interest in policy and the migration society, albeit slowly. This is important because migration is related to policy at almost all levels and provides unique insights into the way in which policy processes and political processes proceed on topics of very high complexity. Yet it took a long time before public administration started to play a role in interpreting, explaining and proposing policy solutions for migration-related problems. In this essay we consider the administrative significance of the contributions of Mark Bovens about policy in the migration society. First of all, we highlight a number of key points from his contributions, such as his role in rethinking policy categorizations, developing a new perspective on managing coexistence in a super-diverse society, and examining the way in which public administration knowledge and policy can be linked in a context that is (to a very high degree) politicized. We then identify a number of themes that are important for further development in public administration. We focus on the workings of migration policies on the local level and how these unfold in the work of street-level bureaucrats, we stress the importance of discourse and images and the effects on belonging of migrants and their descendants, and we finally reflect on the effects of not feeling accepted in society, amongst others on (institutional) trust.
DIAGNOSIS IN CHILDREN WITH AN OPEN BITE
Authors:   Samarkand State Medical University, Uzbekistan, Kamola Ruziyeva
Published: November 2024

Recently, the city of Samarkand has implemented a set of measures aimed at improving, diagnosing and treating vertical anomalies, namely open bite, and at the moment many scientists and practitioners have begun to study more deeply the factors leading to the development of this anomaly. In clinical practice, etiological factors, endogenous and exogenous factors, as well as the living conditions of this patient, taking into account the age of the patient, are of particular importance. We carried out preventive measures for children aged 6 to 15 in 37 patients with an open bite.[1,2] Taking into account all aspects of this anomaly, we set ourselves the task of diagnosing patients with open occlusion using modern methods, taking into account their age and type of anomaly. open bite is considered as an independent form of dental anomalies, and can be combined with other disorders in the transversal or sagittal direction.[3] According to the literature, an open bite occurs in 62% of cases together with the mesial ratio of dentition An open bite is a serious anomaly of the maxillary system. According to the results of a survey and observation by Nigmatova R.N., Shaamukhamedov F.A., Nigmatova I.M. (2017), open bite was 1.4% among children aged 3-6 years. According to L.P. Grigoriev (1995), 1.12% in children aged 7-16 years. 2.7% in the distribution of anomalies of the maxillary system.[5,6]. However, a number of researchers claim that by the age of 9-10, the frequency of open bite decreases, which is associated with the elimination of bad habits that contribute to the development of the anomaly, as well as with the normalization of respiratory and swallowing functions. In later adolescence, there may be a repeated increase in the prevalence of open bite due to late bone growth in the facial region of the skull [4].

In the last decade, mesial occlusion has been studied in many countries through the use of modern diagnostic technologies for the timely treatment of this anomaly. The basis for diagnosis is an X-ray cephalometric examination of the facial skeleton, which allows us to identify the leading pathogenetic mechanisms and conduct differential diagnosis of combined forms of anomaly, which cannot be carried out on the basis of clinical data alone (N.G.Abolmasov, 1982; E.N.Zhulev, 1986, etc.).

Desvio produtivo: Dano ao tempo útil perante as relações consumeristas
Authors: Ribeiro Marcos Vinícius , Tonella Lívia Helena
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho aborda a responsabilidade civil no contexto das relações de consumo, enfatizando a teoria do desvio produtivo do consumidor. A pesquisa explora o tempo como um recurso valioso e finito, cuja perda, causada pela ineficiência de fornecedores ao resolver problemas de consumo, representa um dano indenizável. A partir da análise de jurisprudência e dados sobre reclamações em setores de telefonia, energia e instituições financeiras, o estudo demonstra como essa teoria reforça a necessidade de práticas empresariais eficientes e o respeito ao tempo dos consumidores. Sendo estruturado em três capítulos, discorrendo sobre a evolução histórica da responsabilidade civil, o conceito e aplicabilidade da teoria do desvio produtivo, e uma análise crítica da jurisprudência brasileira, com foco em decisões do STJ que consolidam essa teoria no ordenamento jurídico.

Os crimes cibernéticos representam um desafio crescente para os sistemas jurídicos nacionais e internacionais, especialmente quando envolvem agentes estrangeiros e vítimas localizadas em outras jurisdições, como o Brasil. A globalização digital permite que infratores cibernéticos atuem a partir de qualquer lugar do mundo, utilizando redes virtuais para praticar fraudes, extorsões, vazamento de dados, entre outras infrações, atingindo diretamente cidadãos e organizações de outros países. No contexto brasileiro, quando o crime for cometido por um agente estrangeiro, surgem barreiras jurídicas relacionadas à jurisdição, cooperação internacional, e à aplicação da legislação nacional em casos que envolvem múltiplas soberanias. O processo de investigação e julgamento dessas infrações exige articulação entre diversas instituições internacionais, como tratados de cooperação e acordos bilaterais, além da adaptação de normas que regem o direito penal para o ambiente virtual. O presente estudo tem como objetivo verificar os procedimentos aplicáveis aos casos de crimes cibernéticos cometidos por agentes estrangeiros contra vítimas brasileiras, analisando as barreiras e as soluções jurídicas. Para tanto, utilizou-se a metodologia da pesquisa jurídica e o método teórico dedutivo, recorrendo à pesquisa exploratória bibliográfica e documental, pautada em legislações vigentes, produções científicas e acervos doutrinários sobre o tema. Conclui-se que a cooperação internacional e o aprimoramento da legislação nacional são cruciais para o enfrentamento das infrações penais praticadas no ambiente virtual. Assim, o presente estudo contribui para a reflexão sobre as necessidades de avanços legislativos e institucionais para o combate aos crimes cibernéticos, reforçando a importância de um sistema jurídico adaptado à realidade digital global.
Análise comparativa da resistência de união de cerâmicas Y-TZP à dentina bovina por meio de tratamentos de superfície
Authors: Pereira Paulo Henrique de Souza
Published: November 2024

Hipóteses de estudo: O aumento do conteúdo cristalino das cerâmicas a base de zircônia reforçadas com ítrio (Y-TZP) modificaram suas características de adesão com os cimentos resinosos e estrutura dental, não existindo um protocolo de cimentação bem estabelecido na literatura para que a adesão entre esses elementos se efetive. Objetivos: Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar por meio de teste de microcisalhamento a resistência de união da zircônia Y-TZP cimentada à dentina, correlacionando dois diferentes tipos de tratamentos superficiais, sendo eles por jateamento com óxido de alumínio e por aplicação do ácido hidrofluorídrico a 10%. Metodologia: Vinte blocos de zircônia estabilizadas por ítrio (Y-TZP) sinterizadas (n=20) foram divididas em dois grupos (G1) e (G2) e submetidas a diferentes tratamentos de superfície. O Grupo 1 (G1) (n=10), recebeu tratamento através de jateamento com óxido de alumínio (AL3O2) sob pressão de carga de 1 Bar e tamanhos médios de partículas de 100 micrometros (ROCATEC Plus – 3M –São Carlos -Brasil), o grupo 2 recebeu como tratamento de superfície aplicação de ácido hidrofluorídrico a 10%. Os blocos tratados foram cimentados a dentes bovinos recortados, com preservação tanto de estrutura de dentina quanto esmalte e tratados com ácido fosfórico a 37% por 15 e 30 segundos, respectivamente. O sistema adesivo (Single bond 2.1 – 3M- São Carlos- Brasil) foi aplicado e a foto-polimerização, por 60 segundos, feita. Um teste de microcisalhamento sobre o conjunto dentes/amostras (INSTRON-) foi realizado e as análises dos corpos de prova foram realizadas. Resultados: Análise estatística foi realizada inicialmente pelo teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) para avaliar os valores de normalidade dos grupos amostrais. Um teste t de Student tendo valores de significância (p>0,05) para comparar os grupos quanto à média da Resistência, Carga Máxima, e a correlação entre os grupos o teste de Person. Conclusão: Conclui-se que existe diferença média estatisticamente significante entre os grupos (G1 e G2) tanto para a Resistência quanto para a Carga Máxima.  Em ambas as variáveis a média é maior no Grupo 1 do que no Grupo 2. Para a Resistência, médias de 20,25 e 11,54, respectivamente (p-valor = 0,008). Já a Carga Máxima teve média de 344,23 e 176,42 entre os grupos (p-valor = 0,004). Verificou-se que existe correlação altamente significante em ambos os grupos, com 100% no Grupo 1 e 89,6% no Grupo 2. Ambas são positivas, o que indica que quanto maior a Resistência, maior a Carga Máxima e vice-versa. Além disso, as falhas encontradas em todos os grupos G1 e G2 foram do tipo adesivas.

Authors: De Oliveira Letícia Soares , Meirelles Bianca Gusmão , Alvarenga Lucas Barcelos , Fraga Lucia Alves de Oliveira
Published: November 2024

A hanseníase, doença causada pelo Mycobacterium leprae ou M. lepromatosis, afeta a pele e nervos periféricos. Seu período de incubação pode durar décadas e o paciente pode ser classificado em paucibacilar ou multibacilar, a depender de fatores clínicos e laboratoriais. O Brasil é o segundo país com maior número de casos no mundo, e o município de Governador Valadares (MG) é considerado como "muito alto" quanto à força da endemia. A presença de hanseníase em menores de 15 anos associa-se à transmissão domiciliar, indicando contágio ativo e persistência de infectados não tratados. Assim, método diagnóstico precoce torna-se necessário, sendo a pesquisa de anticorpos contra a proteína Leprosy IDRI Diagnostic 1 (LID-1) uma alternativa relevante.
