Authors: Rotimi Mathew Ekundayo , Olorunkanmi Joseph Ojo Ise , Rotimi Grace Gift , Doorasamy Mishelle
Published: December 2024

The study seeks to know if the acquired knowledge from entrepreneurship education offered in the university enhances and moderates entrepreneurship competencies on entrepreneurial motivation. The study employs both qualitative interviews and a cross-sectional survey of a sample of 300 graduates cutting across different faculties. The study finds that entrepreneurship education is a requisite to entrepreneurship motivation. It also reveals that entrepreneurship motivation could be predicted through entrepreneurship competencies. Contrary to the common belief that entrepreneurship education is a requisite to entrepreneurship motivation and competencies, this study reveals otherwise. It shows that entrepreneurship education does not account for graduate’s motivation to becoming entrepreneurs.The study recommends that the entrepreneurship education should be directed towards developing the psychology of graduates along the path of entrepreneurship to boost entrepreneurial motivation, skills, and critical thought. The study contributes to research on entrepreneurship. Specifically, it seeks to find out if the acquired knowledge from entrepreneurship education influences entrepreneurship competencies on entrepreneurial motivation.

Published: December 2024

Maintaining top-tier personnel is difficult for convenience stores, as they must compete against larger businesses with higher budgets and more employee advantages. This study aimed to determine the employee retention management practices in selected convenience stores in Cavite, Philippines. It utilized a descriptive research design and convenience sampling technique to select the respondents. The data was acquired by utilizing self-constructed questionnaires and Likert-scale to determine the effectiveness of employee retention. The study found that most respondents who manage a convenience store have 1 to 9 employees, have been operating for 6 to 8 years, and were small enterprises. The study found that variables such as employee compensation, physical working environment, employee growth, engagement, and employee support were highly effective in retaining employees. The researchers recommend that employees seek a good organization that listens to them and cares about their general well-being. Respectively, managers and/or owners should develop efficient and effective strategies to retain and manage employees in a sustainable manner.
The Optics of St Francis’s Stigmatization
Authors: Caulfield Genevieve E.
Published: December 2024

This article examines the changing iconographical conventions representing Francis’s stigmatization and explores how they might be understood in the context of contemporary intellectual trends within the Franciscan order. The evolving ray imagery in visual representations of the stigmatization can be productively interpreted through theories of the visual process, especially perspectiva, which was based on Arabic optical theory and initially adopted in the Latin West by English Franciscans. Latin articulations of perspectiva were compatible with hagiographical accounts of Francis’s stigmatization, especially Bonaventure’s, and therefore provided the Franciscan order with a more precise language and set of theories to explore how to visually represent the stigmata being impressed on Francis’s body. Both visual processes and Francis’s stigmatization can be understood as specific examples of the ‘multiplication of species’ model. The stigmatization was therefore depicted as comprehensible through its consistency with natural processes of causation. This article explicitly connects the history of optical science with the history of Franciscan iconography and hagiography to demonstrate the richness and complexity of the interactions between different areas of Franciscan knowledge production and dissemination.
Modeling of Triaxial Pressure Tests with Uniform Granular Materials Discrete Particle Method
Authors: Yilmazoğlu Mehmet Uğur
Published: December 2024

Predicting the mechanical behavior of the soils on which the structures and facilities are built is crucial in civil engineering. Although solutions are made by modeling the soils as continuous homogeneous environments due to their ease and fast solutions, the soil is the combination of particles in a multiphase environment. Therefore, the Discrete Element Method, which offers a closer approach to the soil properties, was used in the study. This study modeled the behavior of homogeneous granular materials under triaxial compression tests using the Discrete Element Method (DEM). DEM, an ideal numerical technique for simulating particle environments, was used to investigate the mechanical responses of granular assemblies when subjected to varying confining pressures. The research focused on the effects of particle shape, size distribution, and contact mechanics on the material's stress-strain relationship and deformation behavior during the test. Using the DEM approach and PFC3D, the triaxial compression test of uniform sands was modeled to estimate the Poisson's ratio, Young's modulus, and bearing capacity.
Introduzione

In dieser Ausgabe von Babylonia stellen wir die Frage nach Sprachvariation und Sprachvarietäten im Sprachenunterricht, der sich grundsätzlich an kodifizierten sprachlichen Normen orientiert. Wenn man eine kommunikative und handlungsorientierte Sprachendidaktik ernst nimmt, stellt sich die Frage, wie wir mit der sprachlichen Vielfalt und mit entstehenden Kommunikationsformen umgehen. Was stellt sich das mittlerweile schon in die Jahre gekommene Lehr- und -lernziel kommunikative Kompetenz im Zeitalter der sozialen Medien dar, die den sprachlichen Raum, in dem wir uns bewegen, zusammen mit der Mehrsprachigkeit neu definieren. Dazu kommt die Frage nach den Sprachvarietäten, mit denen wir tagtäglich konfrontiert sind: Dialekt, Umgangssprache, verschiedene Standardvarietäten gehören für viele zum sprachlichen Repertoire. In der fachdidaktischen Literatur wird darüber diskutiert, manchmal auch in der Ausbildung von Lehrer:innen, aber haben diese Fragen Eingang in die Klassenzimmer, in die Lehrpläne und die Lehrwerke gefunden?

Le rôle des parents dans le développement du langage de l'enfant monolingue
Authors: Kern Sophie
Published: December 2024

Entre septembre et décembre 2023, Babylonia a recueilli des questions posées pardes parents sur le développement du langage de leurs enfants. Cet article vise à répondre aux questions suivantes :
Comment puis-je encourager le développement du langage de mon enfant ?
Quelles stratégies puis-je utiliser pour promouvoir le développement du vocabulaire ?
Comment puis-je aider mon enfant à développer une bonne grammaire et une bonne structure de phrase ?
Quel rôle la lecture et la narration jouent-elles dans le développement du langage?
[résumé généré par Claude-3-Haiku - nous référons le lecteur à l'article sous format PDF pour une réponse complète]
Cet article aborde le rôle des parents dans le développement du langage de leur enfant monolingue. Il répond à différentes questions sur les stratégies à adopter pour stimuler ce développement langagier.
L'auteure souligne d'abord l'importance d'un environnement sonore riche et diversifié pour le jeune enfant. Il faut lui faire entendre une variété de bruits, de sons et de paroles, tout en évitant une stimulation excessive. Parallèlement, attirer son attention et favoriser son écoute attentive sont essentiels.
Pour soutenir la compréhension verbale, le parent peut nommer les objets et les actions, utiliser des mots simples puis les diversifier progressivement, et répéter les mêmes mots dans différents contextes. Ces stratégies permettent à l'enfant de faire des liens entre les mots et leur signification.
Avant même de parler, l'enfant manifeste des tentatives de communication par des gestes, des mimiques et des vocalisations. Les parents peuvent y répondre, les imiter et les valoriser, ce qui encourage la production verbale future.
L'apprentissage du vocabulaire et de la grammaire bénéficie également de l'attention des parents. Ils peuvent introduire de nouveaux mots, reformuler les énoncés de l'enfant, et corriger ses erreurs en douceur.
Enfin, la lecture partagée et interactive joue un rôle crucial. Elle expose l'enfant à un langage plus riche et complexe, tout en favorisant l'attention conjointe, les interactions et le développement des compétences narratives.
En conclusion, le rôle des parents est essentiel pour offrir à l'enfant un environnement stimulant et sécurisant, propice à l'épanouissement de ses capacités langagières, dans un esprit de plaisir et de complicité.

Published: December 2024

Anthropogenic disturbances in cultivated areas of developing countries negatively impact wildlife. This study observed the effects of such disturbances on bird breeding activities at ponds in agricultural regions of three districts from March to September 2023. Sixty-seven nests of eight bird species were monitored, with twenty-eight nests abandoned. The bird species included Black-winged Stilt, Baya Weaver, Cattle Egret, Common Moorhen, Purple Swamphen, Purple Sunbird, Red-wattled Lapwing, and White-breasted Waterhen. They nested in tree species like Acacia nilotica, Azadirachta indica, Bambusa vulgaris, Bauhinia variegata, Morus alba, Ziziphus nummularia, and aquatic weeds like Alternanthera philoxeroides and Eichhornia crassipes. Disturbances around pond habitats in villages directly impacted breeding activities, leading to nest abandonment. Protecting avian breeding sites from human activities by educating local communities about the breeding season and the importance of wild vegetation as nesting sites is crucial.

Published: December 2024

Sorghum grain midge Contarinia sorghicola Coq. (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is the most destructive pest of grain sorghum. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of staggered sowing on the incidence in the southern Karnataka. A susceptible grain sorghum variety CSV- 23 was sown on five dates with fortnight intervals from April to June 2018. The crop sown during the second fortnight of April recorded a maximum incidence of midges (27.53 midges/ear head) on 25 MSW (Meteorological Standard Week). Delayed sowing during the second fortnight of June reduces the incidence of sorghum grain midge (2.07 to 9.50 midges/ earhead). Effect of abiotic factors on sorghum grain midge revealed a significant positive association with mean minimum temperature (r=0.36), mean morning (r= 0.39) and afternoon relative humidity(r=0.47) while mean maximum temperature (r=-0.40) and rainfall (r=-0.33) showed a negative correlation.

Biomphalaria glabrata, a new model to investigate the evolution of meiotic recombination
Authors: Julie Clement
Published: December 2024

Meiotic recombination is a conserved mechanism that plays an important role in genetic diversity and genome evolution. By shuffling parental alleles to produce novel haplotype, recombination increases the efficiency of selection at linked loci and thus facilitates population adaptation. During meiosis, DNA double-strand breaks initiates homologous recombination at specific loci called hotspots. In many mammals, their localization corresponds to specific DNA sequences bound by the zinc finger (ZnF) array of PRDM9. These hotspots are also marked with specific epigenetic modifications (H3K4me3 and H3K36me3) that are catalyzed by PRDM9 itself. A remarkable property of PRDM9 is the high diversity and fast evolution of its ZnF domain. The consequence is the fast evolution of recombination map for species having a PRDM9 for hotspot localisation and thus a potentially higher evolvability.PRDM9 appears in the last common ancestor of metazoans but its partial or complete loss have been surprisingly reported in many taxa. Species lacking a full-length PRDM9 have evolutionary stable hotspots that are located near promoter-like regions, that are evicted by PRDM9. The involvement of PRDM9 in meiotic recombination has not been yet explored outside vertebrate species, one reason being that invertebrate model species (drosophila, nematode) have no PRDM9. Here, we propose to fill these gaps by investigating PRDM9 function in meiotic recombination in closely-related species of freshwater snails, including Biomphalaria glabrata and Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Bulinus truncatus, for which we recently identified full-length PRDM9 conservation by exploring their recently published genome assemblies.This project will address the following questions: Where are meiotic hotspots located along the genome of freshwater snails? Is PRDM9 essential for meiotic progress and fertility? Can we find evidence of PRDM9 function in the localisation of hotspots?We will use complementary approaches such as population genomics, genotyping of PRDM9 zinc finger array, molecular mapping of histone modifications and DNA breaks in snail gonads (ChIPseq approaches), histology and genetic manipulation of snail. Preliminary results about PRDM9 ZnF diversity showed hypervariable amino-acid at positions contacting DNA and diversity in number and order of ZnF between individuals and populations. This indicates a probable involvement of PRDM9 in specifying recombination hotspot. The epigenetic profiling is currently being optimized and will be applied to our snails lines already selected for different Prdm9 alleles.This project should help to identify the molecular bases behind the adaptation of freshwater snails to their biotic and abiotic environments.

Objetivos. Identificar los factores sociodemográficos y clínicos asociados con el uso frecuente (UF) de los servicios de
urgencias hospitalarios (SUH) por parte de personas de edad avanzada.
Métodos. Estudio de casos y controles anidado en dos niveles, en una cohorte de pacientes de edad $ 75 años atendidos en 3 SUH de París entre el 1 de enero de 2018 y el 31 de diciembre de 2019. La fecha de referencia se definió
como la última visita durante este periodo. Se definió como UF a los pacientes con $ 4 visitas a urgencias durante el
año anterior a la fecha de referencia. Los controles no UF fueron pacientes con < 4 visitas al SUH. Primero se analizaron los factores sociodemográficos de los UF y a continuación se seleccionó aleatoriamente una muestra de conveniencia de 300 pacientes (150 UF y 150 no UF), estratificada por centros, para evaluar los factores clínicos asociados
al UF. El análisis estadístico incluyó modelos de regresión logística multivariante.
Resultados. Se incluyeron 29.009 pacientes mayores atendidos en los 3 SUH; 1.241 [4,3% (IC 95%: 4,1-4,5)] fueron
UF de los SUH en el año anterior a la fecha de referencia. Las características asociadas de forma independiente con los
UF fueron la edad [odds ratio (OR) por año 1,03 (IC 95%: 1,02-1,04)], el sexo varón [OR 1,15 (IC 95%: 1,02-1,29)],
la presencia de comorbilidades [antecedentes de caídas, OR 2,42 (IC 95%: 1,27-4,70)], ictus [OR 4,07 (IC 95%: 1,84-
9,69)], deterioro cognitivo [OR 2,53 (IC 95%: 1,20-5,45)], pérdida de autonomía [OR 2,70 (IC 95%: 1,38-5,41)], y el
uso de diuréticos [OR 2,10 (IC 95%: 1,09-4,11)] o benzodiacepinas [OR 2,27 (IC 95%: 1,07-5,00)].
Conclusiones. Los pacientes más frágiles y con mayor comorbilidad tienen mayor riesgo de ser UF de urgencias. Estos pacientes deben ser identificados precozmente para adaptar su manejo.
Diverging Destinies? A Long-term Outlook into Women’s Work and Gender Roles in It-aly and Spain
Authors: Sánchez-Mira Núria , Gaiaschi Camilla , Insarauto Valeria , Verd Joan M.
Published: December 2024

This article analyses how social and economic transformations over the last two decades have shaped women’s position in the work and family spheres in Italy and Spain, two countries often clustered together with other Southern European countries and yet exhibiting distinct features. Taking a long-term outlook, we discuss patterns of change of labour market indicators and gender-role attitudes during periods of economic growth, recession and recovery, to identify the implications of such changes for models of female socio-economic integration and gender equality issues in both countries. We show that the divergent trends have situated the two countries in significantly different positions. While Italy seems to be on a trajectory of continuity, with no significant change in female labour market integration, Spain shows a fundamental path-departure from the distinctive characteristics of the Southern model, with the 2008 economic downturn acting as a catalyst for change regarding women’s work and family roles.
Las políticas activas de empleo en el marco de las políticas de empleo
Authors: Junquera Álvaro F.
Published: December 2024

En este trabajo desarrollamos una conceptualización de las políticas activas de empleo como un subconjunto de las políticas de empleo. A partir de una revisión de la literatura, elaboramos una tipología de herramientas usadas en los diseños de las políticas activas de empleo y repasamos dos procedimientos para la conformación de grupos diana en estas políticas. Atendiendo a sus herramientas, obtenemos cuatro tipos de políticas activas de empleo según sus objetivos y medios: servicios de búsqueda de empleo, formación de adultos, subvenciones al empleo y subvenciones a la movilidad geográfica. Atendiendo a la creación de grupos diana, describimos un procedimiento basado en la estimación del efecto de las intervenciones y otro procedimiento fundamentado en la predicción del estado del desempleado al cabo de un año. Una delimitación más precisa de las políticas activas de empleo como la que presentamos permitiría una comparación más consistente de evaluaciones de impacto y facilitaría la transferencia de conocimiento.

Authors: Molina Romo Óscar
Published: December 2024

Los problemas de salud mental y las desigualdades en salud mental son actualmente una problemática de primer orden. Según el Ministerio de Sanidad, en 2022 el 37 % de la población española sufre algún problema de salud mental. Las prevalencias de estos problemas, además, muestran una tendencia creciente, impulsada especialmente a raíz de las crisis sanitaria, social y económica derivadas de la pandemia de COVID-19. Esto ha conducido a la UE a adoptar un nuevo plan en relación con la salud mental, que incluye ámbitos como la educación, la digitalización, el empleo, la investigación, el desarrollo urbano o las cuestiones ambientales o climáticas.
ENTRE CÓDIGOS, COMUNICAÇÕES E PARADOXOS: PERFORMATIVIDADE IDENTITÁRIA NA ERA DA SUPERDIVERSIDADE SOB A PERSPECTIVA DA METATEORIA DO DIREITO FRATERNO

A temática da presente pesquisa estabelece uma discussão a respeito da performatividade identitária a partir da operacionalização de códigos e comunicações fraternas e da complexidade dos paradoxos existentes na sociedade. O objetivo geral é produzir uma intersecção entre códigos, comunicações e paradoxos a partir da esfera identitária pelo conteúdo da performatividade. Os objetivos específicos são: 1) observar a complexidade da performatividade identitária sob a égide da Era da superdiversidade; e 2) apresentar a necessidade de resgate da “velha novidade” na trama histórica por intermédio do redimensionamento ecológico do mundo real pelo código fraterno. A base teórica escolhida para a articulação da presente pesquisa é de matriz biopolítica, a partir da Metateoria do Direito Fraterno, desenvolvida pelo jurista italiano Eligio Resta e publicada na obra Il Diritto Fraterno. Na dimensão ontológica, diante da operacionalização de códigos e comunicações fraternas e da complexidade dos paradoxos, questiona-se: é possível observar a performatividade identitária na Era da Superdiversidade sob a perspectiva da Metateoria do Direito Fraterno? Constata-se que a fraternidade apresenta-se enquanto uma aposta, um desafio e uma possibilidade de produzir uma intersecção entre os códigos, as comunicações e os paradoxos incutidos na performatividade identitária, acontecimento heurísticos que repercute, biopoliticamente, na esfera dos direitos humanos.

Published: December 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar como as manifestações ideológicas impactaram as exposições de motivos dos códigos processuais civis na construção do Estado Democrático de Direito, com a participação do princípio da oralidade no direito processual civil brasileiro, o que acaba por influenciar o acesso à justiça, ainda mais porque se sabe que os responsáveis pelas exposições de motivos dos códigos processuais civis informam nas propostas os resultados de suas influências ideológicas que irão impactar a novel legislação. Foi realizada uma abordagem qualitativa, mediante pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, em bases físicas e eletrônicas, visando resgatar as ideias principais traçadas para o objetivo pretendido, esperando-se, assim, que as próprias exposições de motivos dos códigos processuais nacionais sejam capazes de contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento do Estado Democrático de Direito, tendo o princípio da oralidade exercido importante papel nesta construção. Recomenda-se, assim, especial atenção quanto à ideologia dos elaboradores das exposições de motivos dos códigos processuais, não só por influenciarem significativamente as normas processuais civis e sua participação na construção do Estado Democrático de Direito, mas também porque o princípio da oralidade, neste contexto normativo, exerceu e tem exercido vital importância para o desenvolvimento e aperfeiçoamento da dogmática processual civil brasileira.

Introdução: A Ectopia cordis (EC) é uma doença congênita rara em que o coração se encontra fora da cavidade torácica, total ou parcialmente. Essa é diagnosticada durante o período pré-natal, sendo a cirurgia após o nascimento o tratamento padrão ouro. Objetivos: Realizar uma revisão na literatura sobre a patologia e mecanismos da Ectopia cordis, sua forma de diagnóstico e tratamento. Metodologia: Esta revisão integrativa utiliza-se de artigos gratuitos publicados, entre 2020 e 2024, pelas bases de dados da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde e PUBMED e dos seguintes Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): “Cardiopatias Congênitas”; “Coração”; “Ectopia cordis”. Revisão de literatura: Não existe um consenso sobre a causa da EC. Esta pode ser subdivida em 4 tipos: torácica, abdominal, toracoabdominal e cervical, dependendo de onde o coração encontra-se, sendo a toracoabdominal geralmente associada à Pentalogia de Cantrell. A interrupção da gravidez é permitida nesta condição, cabendo aos pais e médicos decidirem o melhor. Conclusão: Ressalta-se que estudos multicêntricos são indispensáveis para compreensão acerca da etiologia da EC. As formas de tratamento e prognóstico dependem da extensão e gravidade da malformação. Menciona-se a importância do acompanhamento pré-natal rigoroso e a realização dos exames.

A busca pelo alto desempenho acadêmico por alunos de medicina facilita a procura por aprimoradores cognitivos farmacológicos, visando melhorar a concentração, a memória, a vigília e a redução do estresse presente no ambiente acadêmico. Este estudo objetiva identificar as principais motivações para o uso de medicamentos aprimoradores cognitivos entre estes estudantes e determinar características da graduação médica que contribuem para o uso desses fármacos. Consiste em uma revisão integrativa, no qual foram analisados artigos publicados entre os anos de 2019 a 2024. Após avaliação, foi reunida uma amostra composta de 8 artigos para pesquisa. Como resultado, foi constatado que estudantes de baixo desempenho acadêmico e estudantes de medicina são os principais alvos da busca de nootrópicos, assim, a competitividade, a alta carga horária e o estresse gerados pela faculdade são as principais motivações do uso de fármacos visando a melhora cognitiva. Por fim, o consumo irresponsável desses medicamentos estimulantes é um problema de saúde pública, no qual as faculdades devem tomar ciência e agir de modo a reduzir a procura deles, por meio da conscientização dos alunos e do apoio psicológico fundado na instituição de ensino.

Introdução: O Brasil tem registrado um aumento exponencial na prevalência e na incidência de hanseníase. Nesse contexto, recentemente, houve a implementação de uma nova estratégia de tratamento farmacológico, centrado no acréscimo de clofazimina. Objetivo: Identificar e compreender o impacto das atuais doses de clofazimina no tratamento de hanseníase paucibacilar. Metodologia: Utilizou-se uma revisão integrativa com buscas nas bases de dados PubMed e Scielo direcionadas ao tema proposto, com marco temporal dos últimos 5 anos. Resultados: Foram encontrados ao total 18 artigos, 12 na PubMed e 6 na Scielo. Após a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram removidos 04 artigos. Ao todo, foram incluídos 14 artigos nesta revisão, 10 da PubMed e 04 do Scielo, dada sua relevância. Conclusão: Os artigos revisados não relataram diferenças expressivas e nem traços de resistência ao acréscimo de clofazimina no tratamento da hanseníase paucibacilar. Maiores estudos precisam ser realizados com o fito de elencar evidências substanciais acerca das particularidades e especificidades de cada caso relacionado a hanseníase.

Considerando que a pneumonia adquirida na comunidade (PAC) é uma das principais causas de morbidade e mortalidade infantil no Brasil, objetiva-se traçar o perfil epidemiológico de crianças internadas com PAC em um hospital público e privado em Minas Gerais. Para tanto, procede-se um estudo transversal, com uma pesquisa desenvolvida nos hospitais selecionados. Foram incluídas na base de dados crianças internadas com a doença até doze anos e onze meses de idade de ambos os sexos. As variáveis consistiram na idade, gênero, frequência em creche ou escola, história de internação prévia por PAC, comorbidades prévias, exposição a poluentes, vacinação contra Haemophilus influenza tipo B e Pneumococo 10V, sinais e sintomas da admissão, evolução para complicações e isolamento de microrganismos. Pôde-se concluir que alguns fatores individuais, como idade entre 1 a 5 anos e a presença de comorbidades do sistema respiratório, além de fatores ambientais, marcados pela permanência em creches ou escolas e a manifestação dos sintomas clássicos da infecção, tiveram maior influência na susceptibilidade da doença, sendo a complicação mais prevalente o derrame pleural. Portanto, a identificação precoce dos pacientes vulneráveis é fundamental para evitar um pior desfecho clínico.
A neurobiologia da memória aplicada à processos de aprendizagem: uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Ferreira Lucas Emanuel de Carvalho , Oliveira Josiel Abrahão Pereira de
Published: December 2024

Entender a neurobiologia da memória é fundamental para compreender como nosso cérebro guarda e relembra informações, impactando diretamente os processos de aprendizagem. O artigo explora diversos tipos de memória, com destaque para a declarativa, que é crucial para registrar fatos e experiências. A memória de curto prazo, que retém informações de maneira temporária, contrasta com a de longo prazo, que envolve alterações estruturais no cérebro, como a formação de novas sinapses. A plasticidade sináptica, incluindo a potenciação de longo prazo (LTP) e a depressão de longo prazo (LTD), é essencial para o aprendizado e a memória. Esses processos são mediados por receptores NMDA, AMPA e pela síntese de novas proteínas. Compreender a neurobiologia da memória pode transformar métodos educacionais, tornando-os mais eficazes e personalizados. Importante para a formação de memórias é o papel central desempenhado pelo hipocampo, sendo o sono crucial para a consolidação dessas memórias. Estudos mostram a relevância da reativação da memória durante o sono para fortalecer conexões sinápticas. Com uma revisão abrangente da literatura especializada, incluindo obras de referência e artigos científicos recentes, este artigo oferece uma visão detalhada dos mecanismos neurobiológicos que sustentam a memória e o aprendizado.
