Efficacy and Challenges of Enteral Nutrition in Critically Ill Patients: Role of Nursing and Clinical Protocols
Authors: Molina Maira Belén
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Enteral nutrition (EN) was defined as a key strategy to prevent malnutrition and support the recovery of critically ill patients. This intervention allowed maintaining the functionality of the digestive tract and preserving the intestinal barrier, reducing septic complications and improving clinical outcomes. However, studies reported significant discrepancies between the volume of EN prescribed and the volume actually administered, which affected the necessary nutritional intake and compromised the effectiveness of the treatment.Development: The administration of EN in critically ill patients depended on technological advances such as the use of small-bore catheters, infusion pumps and specialized nutritional formulas designed to meet individual needs. However, mechanical complications arose, such as catheter obstruction and ulceration; gastrointestinal complications, such as diarrhea and vomiting; and metabolic and psychological risks. These complications were exacerbated by failures in the implementation of adequate protocols and lack of continuous monitoring. The role of the nursing staff was decisive in the execution of care before, during and after NE administration, highlighting the importance of hygiene, correct patient positioning and the use of aseptic techniques. In addition, the need for constant training to optimize clinical practices was highlighted.Conclusions: NE was consolidated as an effective intervention in the management of critically ill patients, although its success depended on correct planning, supervision and updating of health teams. The protocolization of procedures and continuous training of personnel were identified as fundamental pillars to maximize the benefits of this practice, reduce complications and guarantee better clinical and economic results.

Authors: Wernicke Lucía , Ponti Liliana , Camats Silvina , Gabini Sebastián
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Social vulnerability was defined as a condition of fragility in the face of social, economic and cultural risks that unequally affected the most vulnerable populations in Latin America. Globalization processes and economic policies intensified the difficulties for many families, especially those with adolescents, limiting their capacity for emotional, social and economic stability. This phenomenon particularly affected adolescents, who, going through a stage of simultaneous changes, were more susceptible to environmental pressures.Development: The studies highlighted that poverty was the most important determinant of social vulnerability, intensifying problems such as exclusion, insecurity and lack of basic services. According to Barcelata Eguiarte (2015), poverty generated significant levels of stress that compromised the emotional and physical development of adolescents. To address these issues, Bronfenbrenner's bioecological theory was applied, which contextualized the interactions between microsystems such as family, school and community, offering a comprehensive vision for intervention. Likewise, Pender's Health Promotion Model (HPM) provided a practical approach by emphasizing the need to empower individuals through healthy behaviors.Conclusions: It was concluded that addressing social vulnerability in adolescents required a comprehensive approach based on the promotion of protective factors such as education, extracurricular activities and support networks. The implementation of interdisciplinary strategies was essential to foster resilience and transform unfavorable environments into opportunities for development. This process demanded the active engagement of health, education and community teams to build more equitable and protective environments.
Training in Basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for high school students of an educational institution in the city of Venado Tuerto
Authors: García Noelia Alejandra , Vargas Melina
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA) was a pathology of high incidence worldwide, characterized by its time dependence. Immediate intervention by Basic Life Support (BLS) by witnesses significantly increased the survival rate. However, these maneuvers were performed in few cases due to the lack of training in the general population. Institutions such as the American Heart Association (AHA) recommended including learning Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) in schools to increase its application and improve survival outcomes.Development: The management of CPR included two main levels: BLS, which could be performed by untrained individuals using chest compressions and automated external defibrillation (AED), and advanced life support, reserved for trained personnel. Studies showed that every minute without attention reduced the probability of survival by 10%, highlighting the need for rapid and efficient responses. CPR training in adolescents was identified as a key strategy, given their rapid learning and ability to transmit the knowledge to their environment. In addition, the importance of including AEDs in public spaces to facilitate their use in emergencies was emphasized.Conclusions: Education in basic CPR proved to be fundamental in increasing survival rates in cases of CRA, reducing sequelae and improving prognosis. Training from an early age and the implementation of community strategies were essential tools to face this high mortality emergency

JURIDICAL ANALYSIS OF PROSECUTION TERMINATION BASED ON THE REGULATION OF THE REPUBLIC INDONESIA PROSECUTOR REGULATION NUMBER 15/2020 CONCERNING ON TERMINATION OF PROSECUTION BASED ON RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
Authors: Hendriawan Muhammad Rizaldi
Published: January 2025

This research explores the shift from a conventional criminal justice system, which focuses on retaliation, to restorative justice as regulated by the Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Indonesia under Regulation No. 15/2020. The regulation outlines conditions for terminating prosecution in favor of restorative justice, emphasizing reconciliation over punishment. Using a normative juridical method with statutory, case study, and conceptual approaches, the study highlights the prosecutor's critical role in implementing restorative justice. Beyond their traditional prosecutorial duties, prosecutors act as facilitators to prevent case backlogs in courts by enabling termination of prosecution through mediation. In this system, prosecutors play an active role in reconciling victims and perpetrators. Through penal mediation, they aim to achieve a win-win solution where both parties reach mutual agreements and recovery is prioritized over retribution. The goal is to restore the relationships and conditions disrupted by the offense, ensuring the parties involved return to their original state, fostering justice that is both fair and rehabilitative. This approach reflects a significant transformation in Indonesia's criminal justice system, promoting efficiency and healing rather than focusing solely on punishment.

Published: January 2025

This study introduces a real-time monitoring system for wire-laser directed energy deposition (W-LDED) process, utilizing a U-Net-based semantic segmentation model. The system accurately identifies critical defective features in the process, such as the residual heat affected zone (HAZ) and dripping defects, at the pixel level. A dataset was collected using a high dynamic range camera, and the U-Net was trained for pixel-wise classification of process images. By fine-tuning hyperparameters of model and applying data augmentation, the segmentation performance was enhanced, enabling the precise extraction of positions and boundaries of distinct regions in real-time process images. Additionally, a pixel-based morphology measurement algorithm was developed to quantify the length of the residual HAZ and the area of the dripping defect. This system provides in-depth insights into the process and contributes to improved monitoring and control of key parameters, which ultimately enhances process stability and bead quality. The results suggest that this monitoring system could be integrated into future automated control frameworks for the W-LDED process, thereby enhancing productivity in the metal additive manufacturing industry.

Published: January 2025

Problems related to prioritizing a set of data (methods, risks, solutions, etc.), using the opinions of committee members, call into question the need for effective processing based on theoretical methods developed through literature. Indeed, this work is carried out to respond to the needs identified during the analysis of works in the literature that relate to decision support and test effective theoretical approaches in terms of correcting problems linked to imprecision and the inconsistency of opinions. These needs concern both the improvement of calculation performance (results) and the provision of effective technical solutions to respond to certain adaptation errors of the methods used. Therefore, in this work, we will try to develop an IT platform based on theoretical approaches that have shown certain efficiencies in group or individual decision-making. Moreover, this platform is based on multi-criteria decision analysis and is intended for practical and general use. The developed platform uses fuzzy pairwise comparisons and cross-sorting methods.
Hepatitis B Virus as an Emerging Public Health Concern in Resource-Limited Settings in Africa
Authors: S. Sebastião Cruz
Published: January 2025

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a public health concern, particularly in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs). The primary challenges in these regions stem from inadequate laboratory infrastructure and a shortage of trained healthcare professionals capable of managing active or occult HBV infections. Addressing these issues is crucial to improving patient outcomes and reinforcing public health strategies. Currently, many healthcare facilities in LMICs rely primarily on serological screening to detect HBV. While this method is beneficial, it has limitations in sensitivity and specificity, particularly in identifying occult HBV infections. The adoption of new diagnostic tools that utilize molecular approaches, in addition to the serological screening already in use in many healthcare facilities in LMICs, could enhance the ability to clinically manage patients with both active and occult HBV infections. Additionally, there is a need for further research on the factors contributing to HBV transmission and liver damage in these settings, especially in LMICs in Africa. By improving diagnostic capabilities and understanding the determinants of HBV dissemination and liver damage, public health responses can be more effective and targeted, ultimately reducing the burden of HBV in resource-limited settings from Africa.

Published: January 2025

This study contributes to the clarification of sorption mechanism of phenolic compounds in woodwaste leachate by peat, and it is a part of the project which aims to clarify and contribute to determine and evaluate the sorption mechanism part of phenolic compounds in a trickling biofilter. To achieve this objective, mechanisms were studied separately by isolation of each process, and sorption mechanism was followed in the present study by inhibiting the biological process. The kinetic study showed that the maximum sorption capacity was reached between 20 and 24 h at 10°C and between 16 and 20 h at 20°C. However, it is during the first hours that the sorption process is high. The maximum sorption capacity was evaluated at 68.5 mg/kg (57.87% of the initial concentration) for the most polar compounds: 4-nitrophenol, phenol, and 2-chlorophenol and at 35.2 mg/kg of peat for the least polar compounds such as 2,4-dimethylphenol under conditions of pH 4 and at 10°C. The description of sorption results was evaluated by a kinetic and thermodynamic study and modeling by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm.

Authors: Ivascu Larisa , Pislaru Marius , Alexa Lidia
Published: January 2025

Digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation are increasingly being adopted by organizations across various industries. When talking about digitization, most private companies have passed the initial stages of the process. As these organizations progress through the various stages of digitization, there is a marked shift toward comprehensive digital transformation strategies aimed at maintaining a competitive advantage. The digital transformation of marketing processes is the current approach used by many competitive companies. The marketing activity includes a communication mix that must be innovative and aligned with digitalization. This intense activity of digitalization and digital transformation in marketing has contributed to the emergence of new risks and the adaptation of risk management activities. This chapter aims to identify and understand Romanian entrepreneurs’ perceptions of digital transformation of their marketing activities and the associated risks. Using qualitative and quantitative evaluation, the results of the market study are presented. The results show that the main risk is the lack of a clear digitalization strategy, the risk of public defamation (loss of customer trust), and data security concerns. This chapter highlights the impact of digital transformation on organizations, digital marketing, and associated risks. The limitations of the research refer to the fact that the research was carried out in a single country.

Published: January 2025

The incidence of skin cancer has risen globally in recent years, with 2024 marking a critical point in understanding its epidemiology and burden on public health. As one of the most common malignancies worldwide, skin cancer results from a combination of genetic predisposition, lifestyle behaviors, environmental exposures, and socioeconomic factors. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the current epidemiology of skin cancer, focusing on both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSC). It examines variations in incidence and prevalence across different regions and demographic groups, shedding light on key risk factors such as UV exposure, skin type, geographic location, and evolving trends in sun exposure. The chapter highlights the public health importance of early detection and preventative measures, which are essential to reducing morbidity and mortality associated with skin cancer. The chapter also addresses significant trends, including a marked increase in melanoma among younger populations, particularly in high-UV regions, as well as disparities in access to healthcare that impact skin cancer outcomes. In addition to exploring global NMSC epidemiology—with emphasis on basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) patterns across continents—this chapter reviews the high incidence rates of NMSC in countries like Australia and New Zealand and contrasts them with regions where incidence is lower but mortality rates may be disproportionately high due to limited healthcare access. In discussing melanoma, the chapter analyzes the “divergent pathway” model of tumorigenesis, anatomical site-specific trends, and improvements in diagnostic accuracy due to advances in dermoscopy. Emerging therapeutic options, such as immunotherapies for advanced melanoma, are also explored within the context of reducing melanoma mortality. This chapter thus provides healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers with an updated framework for understanding the complexities and pressing needs in skin cancer prevention and management in 2024.
Parastomal Hernia: From Definitions and Management to Prevention
Authors: Daniel Gerrard Adam , Lunevicius Raimundas
Published: January 2025

Parastomal hernias are a common complication of ostomy formation, with end colostomies twice as likely to develop parastomal hernias. Older age, high body mass index, synchronous chronic diseases, collagen deficit disorders, and medication use increase the risk of parastomal hernia development. Whilst many hernias can be appreciated clinically, computed tomography has an important preoperative role in hernia assessment and treatment planning. Parastomal hernia repair method depends on patient factors, the surgeon’s skill set, the surgical setting where the hernia repair takes place, and the presence or absence of concomitant midline incisional hernia. Where there is no midline incisional hernia, the Sugarbaker technique, minimally invasive or open, is advised. A posterior component separation technique is recommended to repair the parastomal defect when a parastomal hernia is large and (or) there is a midline incisional hernia. There are reported benefits of the laparoscopic approach over open parastomal hernia repair, such as reduced risk of postoperative complications and recurrence. The risk of parastomal hernia occurrence in elective end colostomies may be reduced using prophylactic mesh.

This study assess the power motivation through Human Figure Drawing of candidates appeared for selection in Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) of Pakistan. The study adopted a cross-sectional study design. The study was conducted at different colleges and universities of Karachi, Sindh from October 2023 till March 2024. The participants were 200 young adults ranging from age 17 to 28 that is the age range of average college / university student. The participants include 85% intermediate students, 15% graduate/ postgraduate students. Considerable number of candidates appeared for role in LEAs were found to have power motivation (68.5%). The findings suggest that the candidates for LEAs exhibit aggressive tendencies, an authoritarian attitude, and power motivation. However, further research employing advanced research techniques, such as longitudinal studies or experimental designs, are needed to explore these traits in greater depth to elucidate their implications for recruitment, training, and organizational culture of LEAs.

PROBLEMÁTICO TRATAMIENTO PENAL DE LA COMPRA DE VOTOS EN LA LEY ORGÁNICA DEL RÉGIMEN ELECTORAL GENERAL

Published: January 2025

«Si me votas, te daré trabajo». «Si me votas, te bajaré los impuestos». «Si me votas, construiré un puente que le vendrá muy bien a tu negocio». ¿Corrupción de electores o democracia? El legislador español ha confiado parte de la respuesta a tan trascendental cuestión al artículo 146 de la Ley Orgánica del Régimen Electoral General. Empero, el análisis de la norma revela su pésima factura, su obsolescencia fruto del olvido y una aplicación por los tribunales no solo escasa sino también poco atenta.  De hecho, el precepto no contempla sanción alguna para el elector que vende su voto, lo que sugiere una interpretación restrictiva que deja un peligroso espacio de impunidad para la libre compraventa de votos. La laguna parece poderse llenar por lo menos en parte mediante una lectura distinta de la relación entre compra de votos y cohecho que coloca al intérprete en el debate relativo al espacio que tiene en España la sanción de la concusión.

Introduction: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) represents a significant concern in public health in Ecuador due to its association with cervical cancer and the necessity to identify new genotypes. Early and precise detection of HPV stands as a crucial strategy to prevent cancer development. Objective: This study aims to analyze previous research on HPV in Ecuador, addressing its prevalence, the effectiveness of detection tools such as RT-PCR, genotyping, prevention strategies, and the evaluation of cancer risk associated with specific genotypes. Methods: A bibliographic review was conducted, compiling data from published studies on HPV in Ecuador, considering epidemiological aspects, detection methods, prevention strategies, and genotyping. Results and Discussion: The results reveal a high prevalence of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in Ecuador, especially in genotypes associated with cervical cancer. RT-PCR stands out as an effective tool for detecting and quantifying HPV viral load, being crucial for assessing cervical lesion risk. Genotyping has identified specific types of HPV linked to cancer, guiding treatment and prevention strategies. In the discussion, the impact of HPV on public health in Ecuador is emphasized, highlighting the importance of implementing preventive measures such as vaccination and genotyping. Epidemiological surveillance of HPV is essential to understand its epidemiology and cancer risk, thereby facilitating the implementation of preventive and therapeutic strategies. Conclusions: HPV genotyping is crucial as a diagnostic tool for a better understanding of epidemiology and cervical cancer risk in Ecuador. Assessing cancer risk associated with specific genotypes allows for risk stratification in the population, improving clinical and public health interventions, and facilitating the implementation of prevention and treatment strategies tailored to each genotype.

Over the past decade many developments have taken place in the field of automation of cars, trucks and public transport. The penetration rate of Level 2 partially automated vehicles in mixed traffic is increasing, Level 3 conditional automation is now supported by legislation, and different experimental and commercial applications of Level 4 high automation in mixed traffic exist. This shows that automated driving developments should be considered when making decisions about investments in physical and digital infrastructure. However, there are still many uncertainties regarding future penetration rates, the level of connectivity, the operational design domain, and the expected impacts of automated driving. This paper proposes four scenarios for automated driving developments in the Netherlands in 2040 and 2060: 1) Late transition, 2) Automated vehicles on main roads, 3) Car-topia, and 4) Share-topia. To derive these scenarios, a new “switchboard” method is introduced in which multiple driving forces for automated driving can be varied. The main driving forces were identified based on expert surveys. For each scenario, a modelling approach is used to compute the impact of automated driving on vehicle kilometres driven and congestion. The switchboard method offered more flexibility than existing scenario methods. The model-based impact assessment provided more conservative and probably more accurate insights into the expected impacts of automated driving on vehicle kilometres driven and congestion than expert estimates from the literature. The results show that in all scenarios automation leads to an increase in the number of trips, vehicle kilometres driven and congestion. In the scenarios with autonomous vehicles, congestion is expected to increase up to 17%. The higher the penetration rates of connected automated vehicles, the smaller the increase in congestion (1.5% -11%). The results indicate that investments in digital infrastructure are needed to prevent capacity reduction due to autonomous driving. The scenarios “car-topia” and “share-topia” may require additional physical infrastructure on motorways and regional roads.
