Authors: Vidigal Paulo Guilherme Oliveira , Miranda Lívia Diniz , Portes Letícia Floresta Moreira , Protti Lúcia Meirelles Lobão
Published: July 2024

Introdução: Uma das maneiras pelas quais os disruptores endócrinos afetam a fertilidade feminina é por meio da disrupção do ciclo menstrual. Alterações no ciclo menstrual podem dificultar a ovulação, tornando a concepção mais desafiadora. Além disso, essas substâncias também podem prejudicar a qualidade dos óvulos, tornando-os menos viáveis para a fertilização. Isso pode levar a problemas de infertilidade e complicações durante a gravidez. Objetivo: Analisar a partir da literatura científica os impactos dos disruptores endócrinos na fertilidade feminina e propor medidas de mitigação para promover a saúde reprodutiva e o bem-estar das mulheres. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, realizada mediante o levantamento bibliográfico nas bases de dados científicas: LILACS e MEDLINE. Resultados e Discussões: A literatura científica abrange uma ampla gama de pesquisas que examinam os efeitos dessas substâncias sobre os sistemas endócrinos e reprodutivos das mulheres. A partir dessa literatura, é possível identificar tendências e recomendações para mitigar esses impactos e promover a saúde reprodutiva e o bem-estar das mulheres. Estudos recentes têm destacado os efeitos dos disruptores endócrinos no sistema reprodutivo feminino, incluindo distúrbios hormonais, irregularidades menstruais, diminuição da qualidade dos óvulos e maior incidência de distúrbios reprodutivos, como endometriose e síndrome dos ovários policísticos. Conclusão: A proteção da fertilidade feminina requer uma abordagem integrada que combine medidas de conscientização pública, regulamentações mais rígidas, investimentos em pesquisa contínua e colaboração entre várias partes interessadas.

The general objective of this article is to evaluate the impacts of urinary tract infections (UTIs) on maternal and fetal health during pregnancy. Specific objectives include determining the main risk factors associated with the development of urinary tract infections during pregnancy, analyzing the most common symptoms presented by pregnant women with urinary tract infections, comparing the effectiveness of different diagnostic methods used to identify urinary tract infections in pregnant women, evaluating the most common treatments for urinary tract infections during pregnancy and their effectiveness, to examine the fetal consequences of urinary tract infections during pregnancy, and to propose clinical management protocols for the prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections in pregnant women. The methodology used was a descriptive and qualitative literature review, analyzing studies published between 2004 and 2024, in Portuguese and English. The databases consulted were PubMed, Scielo and Google Scholar. The analysis focused on the prevalence of urinary tract infections during pregnancy, diagnostic methods, treatments, and consequences for maternal and fetal health. The results indicate that urinary tract infections are common during pregnancy, with asymptomatic bacteriuria progressing to pyelonephritis if not treated properly. Diagnostic methods include urinalysis and urine culture, the latter being the gold standard. The most common treatments involve antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin, cephalexin, and amoxicillin, which are considered safe to use during pregnancy. Complications associated with urinary tract infections include preeclampsia, preterm birth, and low birth weight. The conclusion highlights the importance of early diagnosis and proper management of urinary tract infections to minimize risks and ensure the health of the maternal-fetal binomial. Screening and treatment protocols, education on preventive measures, and a multidisciplinary approach are essential to improving maternal and newborn health outcomes. Continuing research in this area is crucial to improve treatment strategies and ensure the safety and efficacy of procedures.

The teaching of trigonometry using the Geogebra software as a teaching - Learning tool
Authors: Santiago Eilson
Published: July 2024

Researches have been revealing the great technological advancement and its potential in all fields and how its use can cause good results in the educational area. It is noted that technology is a great ally of all people and one of the points highlighted in this work is the use of technological means to use them as tools in the teaching-learning process. Therefore, this research was developed as an alternative for the teaching of Trigonometric Functions, specifically Sine and Cosine, using a free software to improve the graphic visualization of the functions, the understanding and the interest of students in the subject. This computational resource provides students and teachers with another environment in which learning can be stimulated, through the union of computer resources directed to the teaching of mathematics. Thus, this work aims to analyze how much Geogebra can contribute to the teaching of trigonometric functions, exploring their variations in relation to the resources that the software has. The work was developed in two classes of the second year of high school at the Federal Institute of Northern Minas Gerais, Salinas Campus. In the research, activities were developed on the variations of the sine and cosine functions. One class developed the activities using only basic school materials for mathematical study and in the other, the Geogebra software was used as a tool, in order to improve visualization and understand variations. The results of the activities revealed that the Geogebra software presents itself as an important educational tool in the visualization, understanding of the elements, concepts and their variations. Therefore, this teaching methodology presented us with the benefits of the technique in favor of mathematics education, using a specific software to contribute to the student teaching-learning process.

Making an agreement basically contains rules to regulate an agreement that is valid and can be implemented so that it is not null and void by law. Decision Number 35/PDT.G/2010/Pn.Pra is a case of an agreement that occurred in only one (1) language, namely English. In this decision the judge gave the consideration that an agreement made only in English was a valid agreement because there was an agreement that the agreement was made only in English. In this research the author discusses the judge's considerations and the validity of contracts that only use one language, namely a foreign language. The judge's considerations in this decision were wrong because they did not refer to the legal terms of an agreement and violated Article 31 of Law Number 24 of 2009 which requires agreements to be made in Indonesian.

Corruption is one of the social diseases that is the same as other types of crimes such as theft. The problem is that corruption is increasing along with the progress of prosperity and technology. As happened in the case of the tin corruption crime committed by Harvey Mois, where the nominal state loss was also not small, estimated at IDR 271 trillion. This research method uses a normative legal research type, a legal research method carried out by examining library materials or secondary data. This case is suspected to have occurred in the period 2015-2020. Harvey Mois has an important role in this case, namely as an intermediary for other perpetrators. In this case, he became a representative of PT Refined Bangka Tin (RBT) in a case with PT Timah regarding illegal mining activities in the IUP Persero area. The articles charged to the suspect are Article 2 paragraph (1) and Article 3 in conjunction with Article 18 of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 as amended and supplemented by Law Number 20 of 2001 in conjunction with Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning Amendments to Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 31 of 1999 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption in conjunction with Article 55 paragraph (1) ke-1 of the Criminal Code. The 'mass' corruption case resulted in environmental losses of up to Rp 271,069,688,018,700 or Rp 271 trillion, and a total of 16 suspects have been detained by the Attorney General's Office.

Inteligencia artificial y auditorías basadas en datos no estructurados
Authors: Massoud Hayat
Published: July 2024

En contabilidad, auditoría y finanzas, se manejan numerosos documentos para los cuales no existe una metodología que permita extraer los datos verdaderamente relevantes. Actualmente, el uso de la inteligencia artificial permite tratar datos no estructurados, cuya complejidad para procesarlos y organizarlos requiere una considerable cantidad de horas-hombre, ralentizando la labor del auditor. En los últimos años, términos como Big Data, análisis de datos e inteligencia artificial han emergido como conceptos clave en la contabilidad. Con el objetivo de describir la aplicación de la inteligencia artificial en el análisis y procesamiento de datos no estructurados para su uso en auditorías operacionales, se realizó un estudio descriptivo y documental, con un diseño no experimental y una perspectiva transversal. Los resultados demostraron el tratamiento de datos no estructurados en la auditoría, especificando su clasificación y manejo, destacando cómo el Big Data influye en la auditoría y cómo los datos estructurados y no estructurados están transformando los métodos tradicionales del proceso auditor. Se concluye que manejar grandes volúmenes de datos no estructurados siempre plantea riesgos de seguridad y privacidad, lo que justifica la necesidad de proteger estos datos contra accesos no autorizados. Al mismo tiempo, se enfatiza la necesidad de que los contadores y auditores adquieran nuevas habilidades y conocimientos técnicos para trabajar con herramientas avanzadas de inteligencia artificial y análisis de datos.
The Impact of Microalgae-Based Diet Enriched Mesocyclopsaspericornis Copepod on the Growth Performance and Biochemical Assessment of Ornamental Fish (Brachydanio rerio)
Authors: Vidhya Gunasekaran , Pavithra Krishnasamy
Published: July 2024

The cultivation of emerging species in aquaculture and the aquarium industry presents challenges, particularly during the sensitive larval stage, which often has a small mouth. Developing appropriate early feeding protocols is crucial. Copepods have gained recognition as a viable alternative to traditional live fish feeds, as they are natural prey for many fish species and do not necessarily require additional nutritional enrichment. This study aimed to assess the effect of enriching Mesocyclopsaspericornis with different microalgae (Spirulina, Azolla, Chlorella) when fed to Brachydanio rerio, focusing on growth, survival, and biochemical performance of the ornamental fish. Results revealed that Brachydanio rerio exhibited the highest specific growth rate (SGR) when fed with copepods enriched with Spirulina (1.49±0.022), and the highest survival rate was observed when copepods were enriched with Spirulina (93.4±2.549). Further analysis of the biochemical composition of enriched copepods indicated that Chlorella resulted in the highest protein and carbohydrate content, along with lower lipid content compared to other enrichment groups. This suggests that microalgae, particularly Spirulina and Chlorella can serve as a potential feed to enhance the nutritional status of copepods and support the early stages of fish development.

Maintaining the dialogue of influence: Developing music therapy theory in pace with practice and research
Authors: Ghetti Claire M.
Published: July 2024

The field of music therapy relies upon the ongoing construction of practice, theory and research in order to assure its optimal development. Theory, practice and research create a dialogue of influence, with each carrying the potential to impact the others in significant ways. Due to the reciprocal nature of the relationships among these three practices, it is important that the development of each keeps pace with the others. This article defines key terms related to theory, practice and research, and explores the various relationships among them. A rationale for the importance of theory construction is presented, as well as support for the need to match pace in the development of practice, theory and research. Critical discourse is seen as a necessary process for promoting the evolution of theory in the field of music therapy, and clinicians are empowered to consider their role in achieving this aim.
Paths of professional development in music therapy: Training, professional identity and practice
Authors: Edwards Jane
Published: July 2024

Music therapy is listed as a profession in the EU Regulated Professions Database. This has assisted the next steps towards recognition in relevant countries and regions. The author’s experience as an academic leader in music therapy training over more than two decades is used to reflect on the profession of music therapy within Europe through interrogation of concepts underpinning professional identity, training, and professional practice. Potential tensions between recognition and regulation of healthcare professions are presented and discussed. As all practice takes place in context, balancing training needs between techniques and skills, systemic national and regional policy, and institutional knowledge is crucial. Achieving this balance is not easy but is key to successful growth of practitioner knowledge, seeding student’s curiosity about context and systems from the dawn of training.
Music therapy as academic education: A five-year integrated MA programme as a lighthouse model?
Authors: Stige Brynjulf
Published: July 2024

Seeing the current academisation of music therapy internationally as part of broader processes of modernisation, I reflect on implications for music therapy education. Using the current five-year integrated MA programme in music therapy at the University of Bergen (Norway) as a case example, I reflect on how paths of development are dependent on conditions that are linked to local context as well as broader contexts. Two kinds of broader contexts are taken into consideration in relation to the chosen case example, namely the conditions created by the political history of the nation in question and the shared European conditions created by the Bologna Process on standards in higher education. Given that the original local context of the Bergen programme was the rural town of Sandane, the interplay with these two broader contexts are communicated through use of phrases such as “from Hafrsfjord to Sandane in 1100 years” and “from Sandane to Bergen, via Bologna”. I think it is valid to claim that paths of development are local in many ways, but Europe is a local context too, if a bit broader. In a section I call “Bildung, Bongo, and Bologna”, I give examples of interrelated contexts in the development of the programme in Bergen, before I conclude with some reflections on the conditions created by the Bologna Process. Local and national conditions vary, so perhaps no music therapy education can be a lighthouse for others, but in some ways the Bologna Process operates like a lighthouse that gives directions for more homogenisation and academisation of music therapy education in Europe.
The role of professional associations in the recognition process
Authors: Radulovic Ranka
Published: July 2024

The goal of this paper is to show the importance of the professional association in the process of legal recognition of the music therapy profession by taking into consideration three kinds of legitimacy: pragmatic, moral and cognitive legitimacy. The paper represents a prospective comparative analysis of the structure of professional music therapy associations, as well as the inner and outer circumstances that affect the process of legal recognition and regulation of music therapy as an independent profession. The material for reflection and analysis is represented by two questionnaires; the first one was filled out in 2009 by 26 representatives from each of the 26 member countries, and the second one in 2014 by 25 representatives from a total of 27 member countries of the European Music Therapy Confederation (EMTC). In addition, the report of the treasurer on the number of members for the mentioned years is included in the analysis. This is the first research of this kind under the EMTC and I have conducted it in order to contribute to the work of the board, the general assembly of EMTC and the European Music Therapy Register (EMTR) commission, with the hopes that it can be of value to music therapists in Europe.

Published: July 2024

Dada a escassez de pesquisas voltadas a mulheres que experienciam, paralelamente, a maternidade e os estudos universitários, objetivou-se investigar a experiência emocional de mães universitárias. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais com 10 mães vinculadas a universidades de Minas Gerais. Tais entrevistas foram mediadas pelo Procedimento de Desenhos Estórias com Tema, segundo a temática “uma mãe universitária”. Após cada entrevista, a pesquisadora que a conduziu redigiu uma narrativa transferencial do encontro. O material, analisado psicanaliticamente, foi organizado em consonância com a Teoria dos Campos, tendo sido identificados três campos, intitulados “Profissional prejudicada”, “Mãe falha” e “Mulher (in)dependente”. Observou-se que as participantes experienciavam mal-estar em suas funções enquanto estudantes e mães, tendo a impressão de que sua independência teria sido abortada. Conclui-se que o coletivo de mulheres investigado tem o sentimento de carregar o mundo nas costas, demandando maior atenção para que possam experienciar, de modo integrado, as várias esferas de suas vidas.

Was bedeutet Behinderung, was bedeutet Inklusion? Begriffsverständnisse von Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen im Freiwilligen Sozialen Jahr
Authors: Meyer Karina
Published: July 2024

Einrichtungen für oder mit Menschen mit Behinderung stellen klassische Einsatzfelder für ein Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr (FSJ) dar. Als strukturierter Freiwilligendienst mit explizitem Bildungsauftrag bietet das FSJ die Möglichkeit, Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Begriff Behinderung und dem Konzept Inklusion zu initiieren. Der vorliegende Beitrag widmet sich der empirisch bislang kaum beleuchteten Frage, mit welchem subjektiven Verständnis von Behinderung und Inklusion die Freiwilligen in den Dienst starten und inwieweit sich dieses im Verlaufe des Jahres erweitert oder verändert. Anhand von Daten einer längsschnittlich angelegten Fragenbogenstudie (FSJ-Jahrgang 2017/18) werden hierzu Freitextantworten von 255 Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen inhaltsanalytisch ausgewertet und die Ergebnisse mit Fokus auf den Anspruch an (Jugend-)Freiwilligendienste, Lernprozesse im Kontext (gesellschafts-)politischer Bildung zu initiieren, diskutiert.
The Moderating Role of Corporate Social Responsibility on the Relationship between Brand Image and Brand Loyalty: A Post-COVID-19 Perspective among Telecommunication Firms in Ghana
Authors: Yao Amu Prince , Odoom Raphael , Mohammed Iddrisu , Abdul Salam Ahmed
Published: July 2024

During the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw many firms embark on different corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. The study examines how CSR activities have interacted with the brand image and brand loyalty of firms in the telecommunications industry in Ghana. Through a quantitative research design, the study analysed survey data from 501 customers using structural equation modelling. The result revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between brand image and brand loyalty. The study also identified that corporate cause promotion, cause-related marketing, corporate social marketing, corporate philanthropy, and socially responsible business practices were all statistically significant. Corporate volunteering was, however, found to be insignificant. This study expands the literature on CSR in a time of crises and it is one of the few studies that has deployed the multidimensions of CSR as a moderator to protect and enhance brand image and loyalty.

Published: July 2024

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a widely explored semiconductor metal oxide. This material has interesting properties for several research areas, including energy storage and harvesting, sensing and electronic applications. Its versatility has led to the development of various approaches for synthesizing nanostructures with different morphologies according to the application. In this chapter, a literature review on vapor phase and solution phase synthesis approaches for synthesizing one-dimensional (1D) ZnO nanostructures on different substrates will be provided to establish a comparison between different processes’ parameters. Since hydrothermal synthesis is the most widely used approach for growing ZnO on different substrates due to its simplicity and cost-effectiveness, the principles of this technique will be detailed. As an experimental demonstration of such technique, novel results obtained at CENIMAT on microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis of ZnO nanorods, exploring the influence of seed layer thickness, ultraviolet/ozone (UVO) treatment to this layer, and synthesis time and temperature on the nanostructures’ morphology, will be presented. The nanostructures’ length, diameter and density were measured to establish a correlation between synthesis conditions and nanostructures’ features. A seed layer thickness of 100 nm, a 5 min UVO treatment, and a synthesis time and temperature of 60 min and 100°C led to the formation of ZnO nanorods with increased length and aspect ratio.
Toward an Optimized Human-AI Reviewing Strategy for Contract Inspection
Authors: Bancilhon Melanie , Siu Alexa , Rossi Ryan , Lipka Nedim
Published: July 2024

Contracts are high-value documents that mediate many day-to-day business transactions. Knowledge workers, such as auditors and financial analysts often need to review large collections of contracts containing complex clauses. While prior work across other applications has evaluated the benefits of human-AI collaboration when dealing with large amounts of data, there is a lack of human-centered approaches for contract inspection tools. To address this gap, we present findings from qualitative interviews conducted with six knowledge workers at a large enterprise and discuss their reviewing strategies, usage of tools and perception of AI. We identify that an important but often overlooked aspect of contracts is their cross-functional use as a knowledge base for revenue recognition and forecasting, which can in turn impact business decisions. We propose a framework and preliminary tool that strives to support knowledge workers in adopting a reviewing strategy that creates a more efficient and optimal business pipeline. We believe that this framework may provide a foundation to bridge the gap between knowledge acquisition and decision-making and encourage researchers to diversify their design and evaluation methods.
Exploring the Formation of Gum Arabic-Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)/Irgasan Nanocapsules through Coaxial Electrospraying

Published: July 2024

Gum Arabic, known for its natural, biodegradable, and non-toxic attributes, holds significant promise in encapsulation. Despite the limited capacity of its natural form to create particles or fibers, this study aimed to produce nanocapsules through co-axial electrospraying, employing a solution of Gum Arabic/poly(vinyl alcohol) for the shell and Irgasan for the core. Additionally, process and solution parameters during co-axial electrospraying have been optimized. Solvent concentrations, total feed rates of shell/core solutions, needle tip to collector distance, electric field, and needle diameter have been studied in detail as a part of this optimization. Their effects on nanocapsule formation were observed through SEM images for morphological analyses and TEM images for observing capsule wall formation. The study thoroughly examines the properties of the resulting nanocapsules, reporting successful acquisition in the nano size range and monodispersity. This highlights the co-axial electrospraying method’s potential for the nanoencapsulation of Gum Arabic and Irgasan.

A review of the recent development in ab initio calculations of the vibrational properties of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) antiferromagnets with AFeX2 structure is presented. Density functional theory (DFT + U) was applied to calculate the phonon modes specific to each element in the structure and the corresponding partial density of states (PDOS). The calculations revealed a strongly non-Debye phonon DOS. Using these results, the nuclear inelastic scattering spectra, temperature dependence of the Lamb-Mössbauer factor, infrared (IR) absorption strength, and phonon-specific heat were derived by direct summation over the phonon modes. The calculations demonstrate good agreement with the experiments and pave the way for understanding the anomalous magnetic properties of AFeX2 quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnets at a quantitative level.
Territorial Governance and Social Participation for the Remediation of Contaminated Soils

Published: July 2024

Territorial governance evaluates the management and government of public policies from a perspective of social participation for the dynamics of territorial cohesion of contaminated soils for their initiation, implementation, and evaluation, which is why, when applying governance, it monitors the impact of socio-environmental conflicts generated by soil contamination, since each area and region is different and, therefore, different management alternatives and guidelines must be applied for the remediation of areas affected by contaminants, such as oil spills, pesticides, and heavy metals. On the other hand, residents must be considered and involved in carrying out the biorecovery and stabilization of contaminated soils.
