What are the most effective theoretical strategies in teaching Anatomy?
Authors: Brás Breno Bitencourt , Toledo Gabriel , Maciel Sérgio Murta
Published: July 2024

Introduction: The anatomical study cannot be limited to the dissection of cadaveric parts or the memorization and identification of structures. It is essential that, in a modern and dynamic approach to this discipline, contextualization is adopted, and above all, the clinical applications of what is studied, in addition to other methods such as 3D images. It is necessary to understand the student's conception of such methods – which are the didactic and scientific evidence at the moment – so that they can make the connection – in the present and the future – with professional life. Methodology: The research, carried out with 245 students from two educational institutions in Juiz de Fora, aimed to find out: What methodologies were used in their anatomy course; Which one(s) among them is(are) seen as the most effective, and most facilitator(s) of the learning process and approach to clinical practice. The data obtained were processed using the SPSS program, version 20.0. Results: It was evident that the approach to anatomical content based on clinical guidance and contextualization of the subject is somewhat popular among students, although a large number prefer simpler, more targeted theoretical classes and more concise teaching material, with a statistical relationship. The use of radiological images is seen as more widespread in Medicine and Dentistry, just as the seminar strategy is more used in Pharmacy, Nursing, Biology, Physical Education, and Nutrition courses. Conclusion: Most students preferred studying based on shorter and leaner theoretical classes, with more concise scripts and textbooks; however, they approve that some contextualization and clinical correlation be made. Each course, or group, has a favorite method of studying Anatomy.
Discursive legitimacy VS. Rational weighing: Contributions to contemporary legal theory by Klaus Günther and Robert Alexy
Authors: Moraes Renato Almeida de , Blanco Filipe Zanuzzio
Published: July 2024

This article investigates the theoretical relationship between Klaus Günther and Robert Alexy concerning their conceptions of law. While both philosophers share a foundation in practical rationality and normativity, they diverge significantly in methodological and practical aspects. The objective is to explore the similarities and differences between their theories, emphasizing their contributions to contemporary legal theory. The methodology involves a detailed conceptual analysis through na extensive literature review of their main works, complemented by critical commentary. This study introduces a comparative analysis, examining books such as “The Sense of Appropriateness” by Günther and “A Theory of Legal Argumentation” and “A Theory of Constitutional Rights” by Alexy. The results argue that, although Günther and Alexy both stress the importance of practical rationality and legal normativity, their methodological approaches differ. Günther’s emphasis on democratic participation and discourse provides a more robust framework for legal legitimacy and normativity compared to Alexy’s focus on clear normative structures and proportionality. The conclusions highlight that Günther’s integration of discursive elements and active participation promotes greater justice and equity in the legal system. This approach, enriched by insights from commentators such as Habermas, Fraser, and Forst, is seen as a significant extension of Alexy’s ideas, offering a more inclusive and participatory view of law, which is crucial for contemporary legal theory.

Authors: Araújo Jamile da Costa , Freitas Marcella Nunes de
Published: July 2024

The quality assurance process offers direction on how the team will oversee and confirm the standard of the project during its implementation. This case study aims to analyze the quality management of Research, Development, and Innovation projects at a public agricultural research company unit in the Amazon, located in the state of Amapá. It will also investigate how specific regional characteristics affect project execution while identifying areas for improvement. The study uses qualitative and quantitative methods, and its findings will provide valuable insights for project managers and stakeholders in the field. Data from the corporate project management system was analyzed to verify project execution and identify obstacles. The system data was gathered from the reference Unit, Amapá, and three other research Units of the same company located in the North, Midwest, and South. Biased and emotional language was avoided in favor of a clear, objective narrative. The Cause and Effect Diagram and the Pareto Chart were utilized to prioritize the problems to be analyzed. Technical abbreviations such as Cause and Effect Diagram and Pareto Chart were introduced and defined upon their first use. The document adhered to standard academic structure, formatting, and citation methods. Finally, the 5W2H technique was employed to develop the action plan. Project management is conducted in a standardized manner with monitoring taking place every four months. The primary cause of delays in project activities at the Reference Unit is a shortage of materials, supplies, and equipment during the scheduled period. This issue is mainly attributed to delays in the transfer of financial resources and the challenge of acquiring these items. The action plan recommends diversifying funding sources, modifying the physical-financial schedule, and providing training to teams in risk management and procurement management.

Authors: Alves da Silva Fernanda Mellany , Acosta Estela
Published: July 2024

Background: ILE (legal interruption of pregnancy) is a legal right of all people with the capacity to gestate that was promulgated in January 2021 – Law 27,610, its application being mandatory throughout the Argentine Republic. Introduction: ILE provides the interruption up to the 14th week of pregnancy and the procedure must be performed up to ten days after the interruption has been requested. The law is applicable to any age, including adolescents under 16 years of age, and in these cases, it is not necessary to submit an affidavit, since any activity that involves children is considered sexual violence. The Medical teams must guarantee privacy, autonomy, confidentiality, and dignified treatment. Material and method: a series of anonymous data was compiled from patients at the Ana Goitia acute maternal and Child specialized hospital of patients who requested ILE during the first trimester of pregnancy to establish the socio-cultural profile of these patients.Results: an analysis was carried out on 522 women who requested ILE in 2021 and 2022, and it could be inferred that the number of patients who requested ILE according to age was (10,5 %) of patients aged 10 to 19 years, (51,3 %) of the patients with 20 to 29 years, (33,3 %) of the patients with 30 to 39 years and (5,0 %) of the patients with 40 to 49 years. In addition, within the MAC (contraceptive methods) chosen by these people after adequate counseling and the procedure, the IUD was chosen by (50,9 %), the SIU had a percentage of (100 %), the ACI (45.2 %), the ISD had a (50 %) and the ACO (55,2 %).Conclusion: it has been verified that not only counseling about contraceptives is important, but also social, family, and economic support as a support resource for the most vulnerable groups, before and after the legal interruption
Study of joint fluid for early detection of infections associated with hip arthroplasty
Authors: Regis Daiub Stenio Sergio , Perugino Mauro
Published: July 2024

Background: there are numerous studies and algorithms proposed to define the presence of infection in total hip replacement, among them the commonly used are Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP). These are serological markers, which are easily accessible, cheap, and their Specificity and Sensitivity are widely studied and known. On the other hand, we have arthrocentesis, with the following evaluation of synovial fluid. Through a systematic review of the existing studies, we will evaluate whether the execution of Postoperative Arthrocentesis in a preventive manner to anticipate a possible infection is not important, comparing these synovial markers with the previously mentioned serological ones (ESR and CRP).
Material and methods: systematic review of articles through PubMed. In the first instance, a brief investigation is carried out on the incidence of infection in total hip replacement. After this, we select articles from medical trials that study patients with total hip replacement who have had peri-implant infection and meet the criteria proposed by the Musculoskeletal Infections Society (MSIS), and also, which were evaluated by the markers Erythrocyte Sedimentation (ESR), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Synovial White Blood Cells (WBC) and Synovial Polymorphonuclear (PMN). Then these collected data were entered into an Excel table, comparing each one of them, and thus being able to have an average, defining if it is really worth performing immediate post-operative arthrocentesis in order to prevent or diagnose an infection early.
Conclusion: although each of the studies analyzed have different cut-off values for each of the markers analyzed, we can observe that both the Specificity and the Sensitivity of the synovial fluid White Blood Cell count compared to the serological markers (CRP and ESR) are higher.

Las TIC y el ecosistema comercial internacional
Authors: Guillen-Miranda Jehan Carlos
Published: July 2024

Para revisar el impacto de las TIC en el ecosistema comercial internacional, se realizó un estudio fenomenológico con un enfoque transeccional no experimental e inductivo, de tipo descriptivo y nivel explicativo, centrado en la identificación y descripción de las tendencias y factores que influyen en la integración de las TIC en el comercio global a través de un constructo que, desde la perspectiva teórica, se afianzó en los dos círculos hermenéuticos propuestos por Wittgenstein. Los resultados consideraron aspectos tales como la transformación digital de las empresas, la globalización y el acceso a los mercados, la logística y la cadena de suministro, la comunicación y colaboración global, Big Data y Analítica Comercial, seguridad y privacidad, e innovación empresarial, para terminar ejemplificando en tres bloques las actividades que se encuentran directamente relacionadas con la compraventa de mercancía a nivel global: el bloque financiero, la aplicación al seguimiento y control de la mercancías, y la aplicación de las TIC desde el punto de vista aduanero. Se concluye que las TIC son una caja de herramientas que han generado un ecosistema idóneo para el desarrollo de las relaciones comerciales entre países, y que el equilibrio está en la convergencia de las TIC con el ecosistema comercial internacional, porque se convierte en un motor fundamental para la transformación y el progreso de las empresas.

Establecimiento del gobierno corporativo en las empresas familiares y factores intervinientes
Authors: Gómez Sánchez Félix Ruffo , Atagua-Díaz Zulay
Published: July 2024

Las empresas familiares que buscan su corporativización lo hacen para prevalecer en el mercado, debido a que expansión incluye una mayor demanda de productos y servicios, donde se deben tecnificar los procesos y las cadenas de producción. Sin embargo, para perdurar en el tiempo han de transformar ciertos paradigmas, pues la profesionalización del negocio es importante no solo para generar mayores utilidades, sino para implementar sistemas de control y seguimiento que permitan concebir una forma más transparente de administrar la empresa para poder tomar decisiones objetivas. Para explicar el proceso de establecimiento del gobierno corporativo en las empresas familiares y los factores intervinientes, el estudio se apoyó en una investigación cualitativa y se aplicó el método de la teoría fundamentada para alcanzar el principio de la saturación teórica en la investigación documental. Entre los resultados, se identificaron las variables que determinan cuándo deben encaminarse hacia la instauración de un gobierno corporativo. En este aspecto se desarrollaron los componentes que llevan al gobierno corporativo, y su viabilidad económica y de procesos, hasta poder alcanzar los factores intervinientes. Se concluye que la corporativización es apenas uno de los rasgos que pueden estudiarse para diagnosticar e incluso pronosticar su comportamiento a futuro, para ejecutar planes y acciones conducentes a su desarrollo en cuanto a capacidades competitivas y perdurabilidad en el tiempo.

Daily Variation in Sleep Duration, Affect and Emotions in Croatian Youth: An Ambulatory Assessment
Authors: Šutić Lucija , Novak Miranda
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Sleep habits are related to mood stability and mental health, and adolescence may be an appropriate time to address disturbed sleep patterns because it is a critical period for the onset of psychological problems. Aims: This study had two aims, namely: to explore associations between objectively measured sleep duration and positive and negative affect, as well as specific positive and negative emotions at the within-person and between-person levels in Croatian adolescents. Methods: In the present eight-day study, 102 Croatian adolescents with an average age of 15 years reported how they felt once a day, while sleep duration was objectively measured by collecting data from an accelerometer on participants’ smartphones. Results: Multilevel analyses showed that adolescents express more positive affect (Est. = 0.10, p < .050) and feel less distracted (Est. = -0.12, p < .050) and happier (Est. = 0.11, p < .050) on days when they sleep longer, with a multiverse analysis suggesting that these results are moderately robust. In addition, they express higher levels of negative affect, stress and distraction on school days, and boys seem to experience more positive and fewer negative emotions. Conclusions: A better understanding of daily variations in sleep duration, sleep quality, and affect would promote the development of individualized, particularly smartphone-based, sleep interventions. Such interventions could be a valuable tool for preventing mental health problems in adolescence.

Natural Anticarcinogens: The Efficacy of Herbs and Spices
Authors: Vikas Biba , K. Sweety Vishnupriya , Anil Sukumaran , Palaniyandi Senthilnathan
Published: July 2024

This chapter comprehensively reviews numerous herbs and spices’ anticancer properties and mechanisms. Curcumin, derived from turmeric, exhibits cytotoxic, anti-proliferative, anti-invasive, and anti-metastatic effects against diverse cancer types by interacting with pathways controlling inflammation, survival, cell cycle, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. Ginger and its active compounds demonstrate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor activities in breast, skin, lung, and gastrointestinal cancer models, potentially through free radical scavenging, inhibiting inflammation, disrupting microtubules, and altering apoptotic gene expression. Garlic organosulfur compounds induce apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and antioxidant activity in various malignancies by affecting signaling proteins like STAT3 and VEGF. Basil, caraway, cinnamon, clove, coriander, dill, cumin, rosemary, saffron, thyme, and oregano extracts restricted growth, prompted cell death and beneficially impacted proliferation, metastasis, and angiogenesis markers across numerous cancer cell lines. Black pepper, cayenne pepper, green tea, and milk thistle constituents displayed cytotoxic, immune-enhancing, and chemopreventive actions against diverse human cancer models through modulation of pathways connected to oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, detoxification, and malignant proliferation. The immunomodulatory herbs astragalus, ginseng, echinacea, St. John’s wort, and cat’s claw also exhibited direct anticancer effects in specific cellular and rodent experiments. Many dietary phytochemicals show promising anticancer potential, but more clinical trials are needed to substantiate therapeutic efficacy in humans.
Challenges of CSR in Africa: Assessing the Practice under the Voluntary and Mandatory Provisions
Authors: Gildas Ndong Ntoutoume Achille
Published: July 2024

This chapter discusses the concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) under the voluntary and mandatory provisions covering the practice in Africa. The study aims to assess how the concept can overcome the challenges of CSR, through legislation. CSR originated in the West as voluntary, where Northern businesses have prioritized shareholders’ interests, overlooking stakeholders. The arrival of some Northern multinationals in Africa has revealed corporate governance deficits, pushing some African governments to regulate the practice whose voluntary approach was no longer tenable. Past CSR projects have been deemed as a failure due to the development of a pyramid whose implementation in Africa remains problematic. All this provides challenges to the practice and hence the assessment of the practice. Previous studies have assessed CSR but mostly under the voluntary dimension, which remains common. This study looks further at the issue with existing provisions, which seem to be part of the major developments by African organizations on CSR. Key findings reveal that national action plans developed by some countries using the voluntary approach to conduct their CSR are unproductive, while the mandatory approach seems to be the desirable step, looking at countries with legislation. A qualitative inquiry provides recommendations.

Authors: León Gutiérrez Lorenzo , Castillo Rosales Dalma , Tay Neves Kianyon , Bustos Turu Gonzalo
Published: July 2024

The crop production sector faces the critical challenge of effectively managing weeds while reducing herbicide dependence, which aligns with environmental and economic sustainability. This chapter explores the shift toward site-specific weed management (SSWM), accelerated by artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies. Also, it addresses the often-neglected complexities of weed-seed bank germination. We propose an integrated approach, combining AI-enhanced weed detection, cover crop strategies to limit weed seedling emergence, cost-effective spot spraying, and the application of large language models to enrich decision-making under an integrated weed management (IWM) scheme. This helps ensure varied management tactics and weed resistance prevention. We present findings from our Chilean case study, which provide insights into real-world challenges and successes, and highlight the study’s limitations, such as the specific agroecological conditions and limited sample size, which may affect the generalizability of the results to other contexts. We draw comparisons with global AI-driven weed management advancements. This chapter underscores the potential of such integrated strategies to lower herbicide reliance and contribute to sustainable, technologically advanced weed control, fostering environmental stewardship and economic viability in the face of climate change.
Bibliometrics: Application Opportunities and Limitations
Authors: Matorevhu Alois
Published: July 2024

With the advent of information and communication technology, research is increasingly being published; hence, keeping abreast with current research in any field is challenging. Bibliometric analysis has the capabilities to deal with this issue, since it can be used as a rigorous method of accessing and understanding massive scientific data that is continuously created. Using various indicators, bibliometric analysis enables the impact of scholarly publications and research out of institutions and countries to be assessed. Through the assessment of dynamics in research, bibliometrics provides opportunities for managing massive research data and knowledge and identification of gaps. Despite these advantages, bibliometric analysis has limitations; hence, to successfully apply bibliometric analysis, one has to be aware of both opportunities and limitations. This book chapter seeks to enable bibliometric analysis users to make informed, balanced decisions between the opportunities bibliometric analysis provides and the accompanying limitations. Information that will assist bibliometric analysis will be generated in this chapter through analysis of bibliometric literature.
Dacryocystitis and Its Management
Authors: Bhanwala Sindhuja
Published: July 2024

The lacrimal apparatus drains into the inferior meatus of the nose via the nasolacrimal duct. Blockage of this drainage pathway leads to a consistent and continuous epiphora which tends to become sticky and thick over time. Thus, it can lead to recurrent episodes of acute infections which present with a swelling in the medial canthal region (acute dacryocystitis). Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) is recognized as the most suitable treatment for patients with obstruction of the lacrimal system at the level of the sac or the nasolacrimal duct. This operation aims to create a bypass between the lacrimal sac and the nasal cavity. Traditionally, this was achieved by performing an external DCR using an external skin incision. But over the past two decades, we have seen advances in rigid endoscopic equipment, which have led to the development of a safer and less-invasive technique, namely, endoscopic DCR for treating symptomatic lacrimal apparatus disorders. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the lacrimal system, dacryocystitis etiology and management. It delves into the indications for surgical intervention and compares traditional external DCR with the less-invasive endoscopic DCR technique. By detailing postoperative care, this chapter aims to offer a streamlined approach to understanding and treating symptomatic lacrimal apparatus disorders.
Minimally Invasive Surgery and Inequalities in Access to Care
Authors: M. Johnson Shaneeta , South Chevar , Hobson Larry , O. Cawich Shamir
Published: July 2024

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS), including robotic and laparoscopic surgery, is a groundbreaking approach that has revolutionized surgical procedures. It confers an extensive list of benefits for patients, including but not limited to improved overall patient outcomes and reduced overall costs. Despite these and other well-documented advantages of MIS, there continues to be disparate access to these types of procedures locally and globally, and invariably, disparate health outcomes for distinct patient populations. This chapter thoroughly examines the advantages of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), the existing disparities in access, and proposes strategies to address and reduce these barriers, with a focus on the populations most affected by these disparities. It offers a comprehensive overview of the benefits of MIS, the challenges in accessing it, and provides solutions to promote equity in healthcare.
Oran, le football et la mer à l’époque coloniale
Authors: Rey Didier
Published: July 2024

La ville d’Oran et sa région ont été un des pôles essentiels de la colonisation française en Algérie. La ville portuaire rassemblait une population majoritairement européenne dynamique et entreprenante qui dès 1897 commence à pratiquer le football. Paradoxalement, ce sont plutôt des terriens, fonctionnaires, étudiants, membres des professions libérales qui fondent les premières sociétés sportives comme le Club des Joyeusetés d’Oran (1897) ou le Gallia Club (1913). Le lien avec la mer est véritablement établi avec la création du l’Association Sportive de la Marine d’Oran (1919) par des employés et dirigeants de sociétés de transports maritimes ou de négoce avec la métropole. L’entre-deux-guerres est marqué par une grande passion sportive qui passe par la volonté de s’affirmer face aux meilleures équipes françaises et européennes (autrichiennes, espagnoles et hongroises en particulier). La construction du stade Alenda en 1930 témoigne du succès du spectacle footballistique à Oran.
Le « Sporting Toulon », un club en rade ? Chronique méditerranéenne d’une ère footballistique dominée par le rugby
Authors: Desfontaine Pierrick
Published: July 2024

Cet article a pour objet la ville portuaire de Toulon et ses deux clubs aux destinées opposées. Végétant actuellement au quatrième échelon du football français, le Sporting Club de Toulon peine à retrouver sa sulfureuse stature de la fin des années 1980. Phare rugbystique du Sud-Est, le Rugby Club Toulonnais a pour sa part conquis une place de fer de lance identitaire. La méthodologie sociohistorique s’appuie sur les archives des deux clubs, sur des entretiens avec des acteurs locaux et sur la presse. La discussion analyse pourquoi la trajectoire du Sporting est si tumultueuse alors que cette ville portuaire méditerranéenne a des atouts pour avoir un club rayonnant. En attendant, nostalgie et désillusions rythment le quotidien des Azurs et Or.
Les supporters du Havre et le « tournant » du professionnalisme (1933-1939) : un soutien vital pour le club « doyen » ?
Authors: Freitas Julien
Published: July 2024

L’histoire du supportérisme de football est en plein développement et des recherches récentes ont montré son importance dès l’entre-deux-guerres, voire avant 1914. Le cas du Havre Athletic Club permet de documenter cette recherche nouvelle. Le clubs des « Supporters et amis du HAC » réunit environ 1000 personnes qui veulent se démarquer des simples spectateurs. Il joue un rôle important dans l’adoption du professionnalisme par le club doyen du football français. Leur soutien enthousiaste dans les travées du stade de la Cavée verte permet au club doyen de faire son chemin en deuxième division et d’accéder à l’élite en 1938, tout en réalisant de bonnes performances en Coupe de France. Contrairement à leurs rivaux du FC Rouen, les supporters havrais entretiennent d’excellentes relations avec leurs dirigeants et les soutiennent même financièrement quand le club connaît des difficultés.
