Cognitive-behavioral therapy in the treatment of patients with chronic migraine and emotional impairment: A prospective randomized trial with a two-year follow-up period
Authors: Golovacheva Veronika A. , Golovacheva Anzhelika A.
Published: December 2024

Background. Among patients with chronic migraine (CM), emotional disorders (anxiety, depression) are common, promoting the chronic course of migraine and making treatment challenging. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is promising in the complex treatment of patients with CM and emotional disorders. However, few randomized studies have been conducted to assess the effectiveness of CBT in this category of patients.
Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary program, including CBT, in the treatment of patients with CM and emotional disorders (anxiety, depression).
Materials and methods. The study included 176 patients with CM and emotional disorders (55 males and 121 females), mean age 36.2 ±8.7 years. All patients underwent clinical interviews, neurological examinations, and testing using clinical and psychological techniques. Patients were randomized into two groups: Group 1 received the standard of care (preventive and acute treatment pharmacotherapy, lifestyle recommendations, physical activity during the day, detoxification therapy in the presence of drug-induced headache – HA) and CBT in the form of 10 individual face-to-face sessions aimed at treating pain, improving emotional state and daily activity; Group 2 received only the standard of care. All patients were evaluated for clinical and psychological parameters before treatment and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after the start of treatment.
Results. After 3 months of treatment, a statistically significant (p0.05) improvement was observed in Group 1: a decrease in the HA frequency, the use frequency and daily doses of painkillers, points of the scale for assessing the effect of migraine on daily activity, the pain catastrophizing scale, the Spielberger-Khanin scale of personal and situational anxiety, the depression scale of the Center for Epidemiological Research. The improvements persisted after 6, 12, and 24 months from the start of treatment. After 3 months of treatment, Group 2 patients showed a statistically significant improvement in only four indicators at Month 3 of follow-up: the HA frequency, the use frequency and daily doses of painkillers, points of the scale for assessing the effect of migraine on daily activity. However, no improvements were observed after 6, 12, and 24 months of follow-up in Group 2. After 3 months of treatment, the clinical effect of CM (decrease in the HA frequency by 50% or more) in Group 1 was reported in 74% of patients vs 44% in Group 2, with a significant difference (p0.001). After 24 months of follow-up, 80% of patients in Group 1 had a clinical effect regarding CM, and 31% in Group 2.
Conclusion. An interdisciplinary program that includes CBT is significantly more effective than the standard of care for CM and emotional disorders in the short and long term.

Authors: Titova Nataliya V. , Putyatin Ilya A.
Published: December 2024

Cognitive impairment is one of the key manifestations of chronic cerebrovascular diseases. Among the factors contributing to their development are microcirculatory disturbances, changes in blood rheological properties, endothelial dysfunction and oxidative stress. This review is devoted to the analysis of the clinical application potential of the nonspecific phosphodiesterase inhibitor pentoxifylline (Vasonit®) in the therapy of patients with chronic cerebral ischaemia in order to correct haemorheological and haemodynamic factors. Data from experimental and clinical studies indicating the possibility and pathogenetic validity of the use of pentoxifylline (Vasonit®) in the complex therapy of cognitive disorders associated with chronic cerebrovascular diseases are considered. The authors describe their own experience of using Vasonit® in a patient with vascular cognitive impairment.
Bankruptcy of the Category of Religion
Authors: Titizano Cecilia , Lloyd Dana
Published: December 2024

This article takes as its point of departure the 2022 Interim Report of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, entitled “Indigenous Peoples and the Right to Freedom of Religion or Belief.” The report recommends “collaborat[ing] with indigenous spiritual leaders and influencers to support conservation efforts and the sustainable development of traditional lands through a human rights-based approach.” We ask what a human-rights-based approach to the conservation and sustainable development of traditional Indigenous lands looks like. More specifically, would such an approach be in line with the worldviews of the Indigenous peoples potentially affected by such conservation or development? We consider these questions both legally and theologically. We acknowledge that the protection of human rights is better than their violation, but we also take seriously critiques of this standard human rights discourse. We argue that case studies such as Oak Flat, Lake Titicaca, and the Klamath River call us away from abstract affirmations of the human right to religious freedom and toward a rights-of-nature framework – even as we consider critiques of this framework as well. Ultimately, both Western legal discourse and Western religious studies discourse reduce Indigenous cosmologies (which are metaphysical systems) into cultural debates, thus erasing the sovereignty of Indigenous lands and peoples. A decolonizing approach therefore requires a rethinking of the sacred.

How multi-species pollination boosts strawberry yield, quality, and nutritional value
Authors: James Katie , Springate Simon , Harte Steven , Farman Dudley , Colgan Richard , Arnold Sarah
Published: December 2024

A diverse assemblage of insect visitors can provide functional complementarity within plant pollination due to differences in characteristics such as their physical traits, visitation rate and foraging time of day or year. In a horticultural context, greater functional complementarity may play a crucial role in enhancing fruit yield and quality by improving pollination. We tested whether the identity of the crop pollinators (bumblebee Bombus terrestris and hoverfly Eupeodes corollae) independently and additively influenced commercial strawberry yield, quality, and nutritional parameters such as vitamin C and sugar concentration. Fragaria x ananassa “Malling Champion” plants received pollination treatments of either a) “control”: self-pollination where pollinators were excluded, b) “bee”: bumblebee Bombus terrestris, c) “hoverfly”: Eupeodes corollae, d) “combined”: both B. terrestris and E. corollae. Hoverflies and bumblebees exhibited distinct visitation patterns throughout the day, establishing a functional complementary relationship that enhances pollination success and crop output as well as vitamin C concentrations. Strawberries from plants receiving pollination by bumblebees, or bumblebees and hoverflies combined, had higher yields of higher marketable quality. They also had measurably higher vitamin C content than strawberries from plants pollinated by hoverflies alone, or the control (self-pollinating) plants. This study advances our understanding of niche complementarity and its impact on fruit yield and quality. By elucidating the behavioural and temporal dynamics of pollinators, we provide valuable insights for optimizing pollination strategies in agricultural contexts. Our findings highlight the significance of behavioural factors, such as handling time and number of visits, in determining fruit quality.
Development of a Mathematics Module using the 5E Learning Model
Authors: Paguirigan Edmar Malsi , Paguirigan Marjorie Janel Ramos
Published: December 2024

In the Philippines’ K to 12 curriculum, primary-grade mathematics modules have been developed in the vernacular language, aligning with the Department of Education’s (DepEd) Mother-Tongue Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) policy. However, these materials are not suited for learners in some elementary schools, including the University of Northern Philippines-Laboratory Schools. Thus, this study aims to describe and develop a valid Grade 1 Module in Mathematics using the 5E Learning Model. This research utilized a descriptive-research and development (R&D) method divided into three phases: planning, designing/developing, and evaluation. The topics were based on the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC), prescribed by the DepEd. Using the 5E Learning Model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate), the parts of the module were constructed (Link to fun, Let’s start, Let’s Study, Let’s do it, Challenge Yourself) and the English language was used as a medium. The experts evaluated the module, unanimously affirming its validity—based on objectives, content, activities, assessment, and references—and its high quality in terms of relevance, clarity, appropriateness, usefulness, organization, structural design, and timeliness, deeming it an exceptional resource that the learners may use and has the potential to be an effective instructional module for both face-to-face instruction and flexible learning modality. It can help learners understand the basic principles of addition and subtraction while appreciating the module’s visually appealing design and diverse elements.
Social Media Strategies for EFL Students: Enhancing Speaking Proficiency
Authors: Tasisa  Dinsa Mitiku , Teshome Taddese Esayas
Published: December 2024

Social media is a communication tool that facilitates EFL students to improve their speaking proficiency as it enables them to fully engage in oral communication, exchange information, and form long-term bonds in this modern era. This study intended to investigate EFL students’ social media as speaking strategies used vis-a-vis their speaking proficiency. A descriptive correlational design was used in this study. The participants were 70 English major students (second year and third year) at Wolkite University. To this end, data were collected using a questionnaire, the IELTS speaking proficiency test, and an interview to obtain reliable information. The findings showed that Facebook and YouTube were the most frequently used social media by learners, even though they felt less confident, more anxious, and less willing to communicate in English. The results also indicated that learners lacked awareness of how to purposefully use social media to address their speaking challenges. Conversely, the findings of this study showed that there was a positive correlation between the students’ use of social media and their speaking proficiency (r=0.461, p=.000, p>0.05). However, the students’ speaking proficiency was very poor because learners didn’t use social media for educational purposes, especially speaking skills. This might be because the learners did not use social networks effectively to promote their speaking proficiency. Therefore, it is suggested that in the learning of speaking skills, more attention should be paid to investigating the use of social media as a speaking strategy.

Qiyas Method of the National Sharia Board Fatwas and the Contemporary Islamic Economic Problems
Authors: Nuraeni Neni , Abdullah Muhammad Najib
Published: December 2024

The Qiyas method in the formation of fatwas of the National Sharia Board-Indonesian Ulema Council aims to provide legal solutions to contemporary Sharia economic problems that have no precedent in classical Islamic legal texts. Therefore, the Qiyas method must be relevant and responsive to the development of sharia financial institutions. This study discusses the application of the qiyas method in the process of making fatwas of the National Sharia Board-Indonesian Ulema Council, and its implications for contemporary Sharia economic problems. The research method uses normative juridical with a conceptual and philosophical approach. The sources of legal materials are contemporary fatwas from the National Sharia Board, such as Sukuk, Sharia insurance, istishna', Sharia credit cards and others that are relevant. The data collection technique uses documentation studies. The research findings show that the application of the qiyas method in Sharia economic fatwas on sukuk, murabahah financing, Sharia insurance, istishna' financing, and Sharia credit cards shows flexibility towards the development and innovation of contemporary Sharia finance. The qiyas method has implications for maintaining the conformity between contemporary financial products and Sharia principles, increasing the flexibility and dynamics of Sharia economic law, providing legal certainty and standardization in Sharia financial institutions, assisting innovation in Sharia financial products and services, reducing the potential for legal ambiguity and increasing public understanding of sharia economic law.

Published: December 2024

Introduction: A 54-year-old, previously healthy Caucasian male diver was on a 22-day liveaboard diving holiday. During this time, he performed 75 open-circuit dives, of which 72 were with enriched air nitrox. All dives were within recreational length and depth. After the trip he noticed a worsening of vision and his refraction had changed from the previous -3.75/–5.75 to -5.5/–7.75 dioptres. Hyperoxic myopia is a well-known phenomenon after hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT), but related literature in recreational divers is scarce.
Methods: A systematic literature review on the effect of a hyperoxic environment on the development of myopia was done according to the PRISMA guidelines. Three databases were searched: Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. A risk of bias analysis was done on all articles, and the GRADE approach was used to evaluate the quality of evidence. Articles that had sufficient data were used to synthesise a visualisation of oxygen exposure and changes in refraction.
Results: Twenty-two articles were included in this review. These included five case reports, two case series, nine cohort studies, one randomised controlled trial and five reviews, of which one was systematic. Most articles described HBOT patients’ ocular complications, although four articles were diver centric. The synthesis of results suggests that divers tend to get a greater myopic shift with a smaller exposure. However, the data were too heterogeneous to perform meaningful statistical analyses. This review is the first to focus on divers instead of HBOT patients.
Conclusions: The case presented led to a systematic literature review on the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on refractive changes in both HBOT patients and divers. The data were too heterogeneous to make meaningful suggestions on a safety limit to prevent myopisation in diving.

Authors:   Royal Stoke University Hospital, Newcastle Road, Stoke on Trent, United Kingdom, Wilmshurst Peter T , Edge Christopher J ,   Department of Life Sciences, Imperial College, London, United Kingdom
Published: December 2024

A 41-year-old female nurse had cutaneous decompression sickness on two occasions after acting as an inside chamber attendant for patients receiving hyperbaric oxygen. She breathed air during the treatments at pressures equivalent to 14 and 18 metres of seawater, but each time she decompressed whilst breathing oxygen. Latency was 2.5 hours and one hour. She was found to have an 11 mm diameter persistent foramen ovale. It was closed and she returned to work without recurrence of decompression sickness. Review of the literature suggests that shunt mediated decompression sickness is an important occupational risk for individuals with a large right-to-left shunt when working in hyperbaric air, but the manifestations of decompression sickness differ in those who decompress whilst breathing oxygen compared with those who decompress whilst breathing air.

Published: December 2024

Computer Assisted Surgical (CAS) systems have been used successfully in joint arthroplasty to improve the accuracy of resections across multiple joint surgeries including hips, knees and shoulders. A Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA) application for CAS system was developed the intent of facilitating the procedure and improving accuracy of bone resections in the foot and ankle and evaluated for accuracy using artificial ankle joint specimens. The results demonstrate resections with errors of less than 2mm and 2° and therefore the system can offer both accurate and precise intraoperative surgical resection measurements during computer-assisted TAA.
Measuring Knee Laxity After Total Knee Arthroplasty using EOS Biplanar X-Ray: A First-step Phantom-based Repeatability Study
Authors: Hickey Matthew , Anglin Carolyn , Masri Bassam , Hodgson Antony J.
Published: December 2024

Knee joint laxity or instability post total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common reason for patient dissatisfaction, and in some cases, can even result in the need for revision TKA. With the ultimate goal of developing an EOS-based knee joint laxity technique, the objective of this study was therefore to determine how repeatably EOS biplanar X-rays can measure 3D knee joint transforms on a radiographically realistic knee phantom between the femur and tibia in the presence of a TKA implant.

To assess repeatability, we first scanned a femoral and a tibial anatomical model (Tactile KneeTM, Tactile Orthopaedics) using a clinical CT scanner and segmented the scans semi-automatically. The fully assembled TKA phantom was then placed within a jig that maintained a fixed and rigid connection between the femur and tibia. This model was then scanned 10 times with the EOS system, with approximately equally spaced perturbations ranging up to ±300 around the superior/inferior axis, applied manually between scans. We then implemented a 2D-3D registration technique to assign Euler coordinate systems to both the femoral and tibial phantoms using JointTrack Auto. This process was completed for both the femoral and tibial TKA phantoms, and coordinate system assignment repeatability was calculated.

The mean deviations from the mean for the medial-lateral, anterior-posterior, and superior-inferior translational axes were all submillimetric: 0.6 ± 0.7 mm, 0.4 ± 0.6 mm, and 0.7 ± 0.8 mm, respectively. The mean deviation from the mean around the medial- lateral, anterior-posterior, and superior-inferior rotational axes were all on the order of 1 degree or less: 1.0 ± 1.20, 0.8 ± 1.10, and 1.0 ± 1.20, respectively.

Published: December 2024

Predicting plantar pressure using personalized finite element (FE) biomechanical models of the patient’s anatomy holds significant promise for aiding in virtual surgical planning and predicting clinical outcomes. While sophisticated FE models have been described in literature, they are not suitable for routine clinical care as the personalization is complex and the model calculation is computationally intensive. Therefore, an automatically generated FE biomechanical model of the foot is presented, offering an efficient alternative for clinical application, and it is qualitatively compared against a computationally intensive sophisticated FE model previously published by our group.

Published: December 2024

Robotic Ultrasound Systems are an emerging technology. Autonomous systems, which are not yet on the market, comprise detection of the scanning area, the ultrasound scan and image processing. However, contact gel application is performed manually. This work proposes a concept for an autonomous contact gel applicator to contribute to a full automation of robotic ultrasound scanning systems e.g. for 3D-imaging of the knee.
Using automated, unsupervised sensor based evaluation as a complement to PROMs to assess surgery outcomes

Published: December 2024

This study explores the use of automated unsupervised evaluations via wearable devices, to assess the success of hip and knee replacements as a complement to traditional PROMs.

A comprehensive analysis was conducted on data from 1144 TKA and THA patients utilizing a mobile application, with activity data collected through the Garmin Vivofit 4 wearable device. Key parameters, including daily Peak 6-Minute Consecutive Cadence (P6MC) and daily Peak 1-Minute Cadence (P1M), were computed pre and post surgery and analyzed to assess the efficacy of these metrics in monitoring the recovery progress and the surgery outcomes.

Cadence measurements, specifically P6MC and P1M, emerged as robust indicators. These metrics exhibited a superior level of responsiveness compared to traditional step- count measurements and showed good complementarity with PRO’s traditionally used in clinical practices. Moreover, the capture of these parameters being daily, unsupervised, and automated gives the potential of offering more granularity and better compliance than PROMs, providing new insights to assess quality of new surgical techniques. Moreover, the growing ubiquity of smartphones and wearables makes the use of such metrics usable in daily practice.

Published: December 2024

Continuum dexterous manipulators (CDMs) have shown great potential when inte- grated with computer assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS) systems for minimally invasive surgery (MIS). We hypothesize that the enhanced dexterity of CDMs may allow for greater access to target tissue through a single port when compared to traditional, rigid MIS in- struments. To assess such CDMs for intervertebral disc removal applications, a phantom study in the scope of MIS transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) was conducted to evaluate the achievable surgical workspace of the intervertebral disc (IVD) during disc space preparation. A CDM with 6 mm diameter and a conformable nitinol whisk tip was evaluated against three 135° lumbar curettes in a 2D L4-L5 IVD phantom by an ex- perienced spine surgeon. Improvements of up to 41.7% in reachable IVD workspace are achieved with the CDM, demonstrating its viability in improving outcomes for MIS spinal fusion.

Published: December 2024

Surgical intervention is often indicated for complex multiplanar foot deformities (CMFDs). Addressing the 3D nature of these deformities proves challenging for achieving optimal foot alignment and reoperations are often necessary. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) can aid in the understanding of the multiplanar deformity and determine the osteotomies needed for correction. This study introduces a patient-specific guide (PSG) applied to a CMFD patient undergoing midfoot closing wedge osteotomy. The PSG design allowed for accurate reconstruction of the angular deformity, while allowing for intra-operative translational adjustments. Further improvement of the PSG design was proposed to ensure an even better fit in future applications.
The Impact of Surgical Workflow on Bone Cut Parameters Evolution in Total Knee Arthroplasty: Transitioning from Measured Resection to Gap Balancing Surgical Workflow
Authors: Angibaud Laurent , Chinimilli Prudhvi , Boux de Casson Francois , Jung Amaury
Published: December 2024

This study investigated the impact of (1) the transition from an MR workflow to a GB workflow as well as (2) the adoption of the GB workflow on the bone cut parameters during TKA. The findings demonstrated that both the transition and the adoption have an impact on the bone cut parameters and surgeons seeking to switch from MR to GB surgical workflow should be aware of these changes.
Markerless 6D Pose Estimation of Surgical Tools and Anatomical Shapes from RGB-D images: a comparison of two approaches based on synthetic data
Authors: Longo Basile , Sta Salaheddine , Stindel Éric , Dardenne Guillaume
Published: December 2024

In the realm of Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS), the accurate localization of anatom- ical features and surgical tools is crucial for enhancing surgical outcomes. Important efforts have been recently focused toward markerless navigation to reduce intraoperative intrusiv- ity. Unfortunately, recent studies don’t always satisfy the required accuracy and precision to be used clinically. This research investigates the application of deep learning models for pose estimation of synthetic anatomical features and surgery instruments to improve the localization accuracy. Based on the models from CosyPose and Coupled-Iterative- Refinement methods, we applied a three-step pose estimation process. Using 3D meshes and BlenderProc we generated a synthetic RGB-D dataset of scenes including tibias, fe- murs, shoulder’s glenoids and surgical instruments (Cutting guide) to train and test our model. Moreover, we compared our results to the Point Pair Features (PPF) method, a conventional pose estimation algorithm based on point cloud data. We found a signifi- cant enhancement regarding the accuracy with our model, achieving sub-millimetric and sub-degree accuracy, surpassing the PPF algorithm. We also provided qualitative exam- ples of the estimated poses to visualize the accuracy of our model. While the proposed method shows promising results, challenges remain in particular passing from synthetic to real-world data. Future efforts will focus on collecting annotated real-world data.

Published: December 2024

Renggak (Amomum dealbatum Roxb) shows significant potential as a natural resource with applications in various fields, particularly in environmental sensing. This capability positions Renggak as a promising candidate for developing eco-friendly chemosensors, contributing to improved monitoring of these critical anions in the environment and health. Additionally, its diverse phytochemical profile suggests potential uses in medicinal applications, further enhancing its value as a multifaceted plant. This research focuses on the characterization of the methanol extract from Renggak (Amomum dealbatum Roxb) leaves, and it's potential to detect iodide and phosphate anions. The extraction process involved soaking dried renggak leaves in methanol for 72 hours. Afterwards, the solution was filtered and evaporated, resulting in a paste-like extract. The extract was characterized using FTIR and GC-MS techniques, followed by testing its performance as a chemosensor. The paste extract was dissolved in methanol and mixed with a saturated solution of iodide and phosphate salts for the anion detection test. Then, 3 mL of each anion solution was combined with the extract, and any changes in the solution were observed. FTIR analysis revealed the presence of OH groups and C=O double bonds in the methanol extract. GC-MS analysis identified 20 compounds, with hexadecanoic acid and 9-octadecenoic acid being the most abundant. The extract demonstrated fluorescent properties in the anion detection test, acting as a chemosensor. When exposed to a UV lamp at 250 nm, the solution emitted a green fluorescent glow, indicating the successful detection of anions. These findings suggest that the methanol extract of renggak leaves could serve as an effective fluorescent chemosensor for iodide and phosphate anions.
CORPOS SINTONIZADOS: HECCEIDADE E DEVIR EM UM CONTO DE GUIMARÃES ROSA
Authors: Meneses Rodrigo Carqueja de
Published: December 2024

Novas transformações nas relações do humano com a Terra exigem, com uma certa urgência, novos modos de pensar o corpo e suas composições. O presente trabalho visa analisar e discorrer a respeito do conceito de hecceidade, tal como desenvolvido por Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari em Mil Platôs: Capitalismo e esquizofrenia 2. Esse conceito tenta dar conta do problema da individuação de um corpo e seus processos. Assim, abre-se um modo inteiramente novo de pensar a relação humano-natureza, sem que isso necessariamente implique reduzir as diferenças ao esquema do mesmo, ou seja, sem o extermínio do outro. Para exemplificar essa questão, foi analisada a estória de Guimarães Rosa intitulada O burrinho pedrês da obra Sagarana, a fim de pontuar um novo modo de pensar a questão do corpo e deixar claro que aprender a se dirigir ao outro não é o que resulta de uma compreensão, mas sim condição de toda e qualquer compreensão real.

O presente estudo tem como finalidade apresentar os avanços teórico-metodológicos na área da alfabetização, tanto na perspectiva teórica quanto na perspectiva da prática pedagógica. Portanto, objetivamos repensar a aquisição da língua escrita, por intermédio da alfabetização e do letramento, práticas significativas que extrapolam o espaço escolar, que estimulam a leitura e a produção escrita em atividades mais avançadas e complexas que as práticas do ler e do escrever, resultante da aprendizagem do sistema de escrita, proposto nas atividades de sala de aula. Antecedendo toda a discussão teórica, foi traçado um histórico sobre a alfabetização. O estudo das teorias de Cagliari (1998), Colello (2004), Peixoto (2004), Soares (2000), entre outros autores que nos possibilitaram o embasamento teórico. A metodologia de coleta de dados é a de estudo de caso, a qual nos possibilitou analisar as hipóteses de escrita, construídas por duas crianças durante o Pré II – 05 anos do ciclo de alfabetização. Acreditamos que este estudo contribuirá para um repensar do educador atuante nas classes de alfabetização, onde o mesmo refletirá sobre sua prática pedagógica, podendo reconstrui-la.

ECONOMIA SOLIDÁRIA: PROCESSO DE CRESCIMENTO DAS ORGANIZAÇÕES
Authors: Brito Asyha Gomes de
Published: December 2024

De modo geral, as construções teóricas sobre a Economia Solidária nos últimos anos enfatizam a necessidade de repensar a relação entre o econômico e o social, superando os limites do pensamento neoliberal dominante que restringe a economia à lógica do mercado. Economia Social e Solidária tem desempenhado um papel historicamente importante, posicionando-se como um espaço fundamental para a integração social na inclusão laboral e desenvolvimento de projetos baseados em relações de cooperação, controle democrático e solidariedade. Permite adaptar as políticas sociais às preferências e necessidades dos cidadãos, permite acomodar a diversidade territorial, manter as comunidades unidas e fortalecer os processos de integração social e produtiva. A sua importância reside no fato de se centrar no bem-estar das pessoas e ser aplicável a todas as comunidades, independentemente do estatuto social. Os valores em que se baseia são a equidade, a justiça, a solidariedade, a sustentabilidade e o compromisso social com a comunidade. O estudo tem por objetivo discorrer sobre o processo de crescimento das organizações da Economia Solidária no Brasil. Foi desenvolvido um estudo bibliográfico, documental, descritivo e qualitativo. Existem organizações que trabalham com finanças éticas e solidárias para ajudar uma comunidade ou pessoas. Estas organizações estão crescendo e gerando um impacto cada vez maior na economia. Com o passar dos anos, conseguiram consolidar-se e tornar-se um importante setor econômico devido à sua natureza social e prestam apoio às pessoas mais vulneráveis. Portanto, este artigo tem como objetivo discorrer sobre as organizações trabalham com finanças éticas e solidárias no Brasil. A metodologia implementada foi qualitativa, descritiva. Para o método de pesquisa utilizou-se a análise documental baseada na dialética e na análise-síntese. O resultado do estudo apontou o crescimento na área da Economia Solidária no país, as principais entidades que estão promovendo o financiamento ético e solidário, porém ainda tem grandes desafios que se apresentam hoje para a Economia Solidária, enquanto espaço de ação coletiva integrado a processos de construção e expansão da democracia, em que não é mais possível dissociar o social, o político e o econômico.

A GLOBALIZAÇÃO COMO UM PROCESSO DE MUDANÇA DE ESTRUTURAS SOCIAIS, POLÍTICAS, CULTURAIS E ECONÓMICAS NAS SOCIEDADES INTEGRANTES

Published: December 2024

As mutações tecnológicas têm dado origem a inúmeras transformações nas sociedades nos âmbitos nacional e global desde a deslocalização dos centros de produção e a consequente integração de novos actores nos processos produtivos, passando pelo esbatimento das fronteiras, criando-se uma aldeia global, ou seja, o mundo já não é visto como algo grandioso, mas sim como uma aldeia onde os processos de convivência se aproximam cada vez mais criando, deste modo, uma simbiose sociocultural donde surgem novos paradigmas que urge, primeiro compreendê-los e depois, sendo o caso, adoptá-los ora porque se adequam ao modus vivendi local ora porque o desenvolvimento, processo visto por muitos como inexorável e inevitável, virá coptar, mesmo contra a vontade de quem pode. Assim, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo procurar, não apenas respostas, mas e sobretudo compreender o processo da globalização como aquele que, podendo ser nocivo sob determinadas perspectivas às quais chamou-se de pessimistas, pode, igualmente, ser proveitoso e útil, quando visto como um processo integrativo. Para concretização dessa pesquisa adotou-se o método hipotético-dedutivo que consistiu no levantamento de hipóteses e, por consequência, sua aplicação para busca de verdades, ainda que provisórias. Ao final, chegou-se a conclusão que a globalização é um processo com qual não se deve contra ela lutar, mas sim, procurar tirar o máximo proveito do que podes ser vantajoso, especialmente para os países em desenvolvimento.

O território brasileiro, rico em extensões territoriais dotadas de características geográficas e
climáticas propícias, revela um notável potencial para a produção de energia proveniente dos
recursos eólicos e solares. Dessa forma, o objetivo da presente pesquisa foi efetuar uma análise
completa sobre a relevância das fontes de energia renovável, enfatizando as capacidades eólicas
e solares dentro do contexto do Brasil, com o intuito de fornecer embasamento para a
formulação de políticas nacionais voltadas ao desenvolvimento sustentável e para fomentar a
conscientização ambiental. A metodologia de revisão bibliográfica envolveu a identificação
criteriosa de fontes pertinentes, a seleção cuidadosa das obras a serem examinadas e a análise
crítica das informações obtidas. Esse processo permitiu a contextualização do tema de pesquisa
dentro do panorama acadêmico existente, contribuindo para embasar teoricamente o estudo e
fundamentar as conclusões apresentadas. Portanto, com base nos resultados apresentados, fica
claro que a implementação das fontes de energia eólica e solar no Brasil é uma estratégia viável
e benéfica para promover um futuro mais sustentável e próspero. No entanto, é crucial que o
país continue investindo em políticas e infraestrutura que incentivem o crescimento desse setor,
garantindo assim uma transição energética eficaz e de longo prazo.

Published: December 2024

Introdução: As doenças respiratórias neonatais referem-se a um grupo de condições que afetam o sistema
respiratório dos recém-nascidos, particularmente durante as primeiras semanas de vida. Entre as mais comuns
estão a síndrome do desconforto respiratório (SDR), a displasia broncopulmonar (DBP) e a hipertensão
pulmonar persistente do recém-nascido (HPP). Objetivo: Analisar e avaliar os métodos contemporâneos e os
avanços tecnológicos no tratamento das doenças respiratórias neonatais, com foco na eficácia das novas

abordagens terapêuticas, técnicas de monitorização e personalização do tratamento. Metodologia: Realizou-
se uma revisão narrativa de literatura utilizando bases de dados como SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library

Online), PubMed (National Library of Medicine), Google Scholar e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). A
questão de pesquisa foi definida como: "Quais são os métodos contemporâneos e os avanços tecnológicos no
tratamento de doenças respiratórias neonatais?" Foram incluídos artigos publicados nos últimos dez anos,
escritos em português ou inglês, que abordassem diretamente o tema proposto. Resultados e Discussão: As
inovações como a ventilação não invasiva, a administração de surfactante exógeno e o uso de óxido nítrico
inalatório têm melhorado significativamente os desfechos clínicos dos recém-nascidos, reduzindo a
mortalidade e as complicações associadas. No entanto, há necessidade de novas abordagens no tratamento das
doenças respiratórias neonatais, destacando a importância da personalização dos cuidados e da integração de
equipes multidisciplinares. Considerações Finais: Apesar das limitações inerentes ao estudo, os avanços
tecnológicos têm potencializado a eficácia do tratamento das doenças respiratórias neonatais. Sugere-se que
futuras pesquisas realizem estudos multicêntricos e randomizados para confirmar os benefícios observados e
explorar a aplicabilidade das novas tecnologias em diferentes contextos.
