Authors: Macías Yen Chong Yohana Geomar , Santos Zambrano Thainah Bruna , Cutuli Carlos Alberto
Published: October 2024

Cancer is a major global public health problem, with increasing incidence. When detected early, life-saving treatments can be applied. Radiotherapy eliminates malignant cells but damages healthy tissues. A common oral side effect is oral mucositis: inflammation, ulcers, pain, difficulty ingesting nutrients, treatment interruption. Propolis, a natural product from bees, has wound healing, anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, and antioxidant properties. Studies indicate its effectiveness against radiation-induced oral mucositis. The objective of the present work was to analyze the effect of propolis in the treatment of oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiotherapy, based on the critical review of clinical and review studies. A literature review study was conducted on scientific articles found in databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, in order to obtain information to support the use of propolis as a complement to conventional treatment of oral mucositis in patients undergoing radiotherapy. Numerous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of propolis in treating oral mucositis, especially when applied directly to the mucosa. Additionally, its use has been proven safe and does not cause adverse effects in patients. It is evident that oral mucositis is a common side effect of radiotherapy, which can occur from the first week of treatment, causing pain, difficulty swallowing, and even interruption of cancer treatment. Propolis represents a promising therapeutic option to improve and delay the onset of this condition, enhancing the quality of life of patients

Published: October 2024

Dental caries is the most prevalent oral disease, and the main cause of tooth loss and its sequelae, in pediatric age. In Ecuador it is reported that 45% of children between 1 and 9 years old have cavities in untreated temporary teeth. The objective was to determine the age and reason for the first dental consultation in pediatric patients, in the parish of Machalilla, province of Manabí, Ecuador, in the period september 2022 to july 2023. A descriptive study was carried out that included all children aged 0 – 14 years who received a dental consultation for the first time in the First Level Health Center, or in extramural visits in the community. All guardians and caregivers signed the informed consent for their dental care. During the period, 54 patients were treated, 35 (64.9%) in extramural visits and 19 (35.1%) in the dental office, the majority in the age group of 1-4 years, with 26 (48.1%) children, and the main reason for consultation was for a dental examination, 39 (72.3%) children. From the clinical examination carried out, it was determined that 37 children (68.5%) had dental caries and needed conservative restorative treatments or tooth extraction. The results indicate that it is necessary to improve health education and oral disease prevention actions in the pediatric population of Machalilla, involving their guardians and caregivers from an early age
Clinical evaluation of direct restorations performed through the injectable composite resin technique in anterior teeth. Case report
Authors: Mecías Solorzano Dayanna Ellen , Alarcón Barcia Alda Noelia
Published: October 2024

The injectable composite resin technique refers to a combined indirect and direct method that uses a clear silicone key to accurately and predictably transfer a diagnostic wax-up to a composite restoration, without the need to prepare the teeth. The clinical case of two female patients, aged between 30 and 40 years, is presented. The treatment plan included composite resin restorations in the anterosuperior sector. With the help of an intraoral scanner, 3D images of the dental anatomical structures were generated, from which the waxing was performed. Subsequently, a transparent silicone key was manufactured and the mock-up was verified in the oral cavity. The teeth were restored by injecting a fluid compound, which was light-polymerized through the silicone key. The selection of the resin was based on its versatility, suitable for both small and extensive restorations. This material offers the advantage of being repairable without the need to replace the entire previous restoration, making it an ideal option for direct procedures. In addition, it allows rapid hardening of the material using ultraviolet light, accelerating the process compared to other materials that require weeks of laboratory preparation. As a result, aesthetic restorations were obtained in harmony with the face, achieving diastema closure and restoring the shape and function of the teeth. In subsequent checks, no soft tissue inflammation or signs of significant wear were observed. The technique described is minimally invasive and accessible in terms of resources
Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor. Presentation of a clinical case
Authors: Vera Solorzano Francisco Xavier , Guillén Santana Erick Sebastián , Santos Zambrano Thainah Bruna
Published: October 2024

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (ATO) is a rare benign tumor that represents 3% of odontogenic tumors. Originated from remains of the dental lamina or odontogenic epithelium, it occurs in three variants: follicular (73%), extracystic (24%) and intraosseous (3%). The follicular variant is the most common and is usually associated with the crown of an unerupted tooth, typically a maxillary canine. It mainly affects young people in their second decade of life and presents as a painless and slow-growing increase in volume in the anterior maxillary region. In this study, the case of a 16-year-old patient with a follicular variant unicystic TOA in the right mandibular region is presented. A complete enucleation of the lesion, which measured 4 cm, was performed, observing expansion of the external cortex, a close relationship with the included tooth 4.3 and root resorption in adjacent teeth. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology, and one year later, the patient showed a favorable evolution, with bone repair and no significant complications. Despite its low incidence, it is crucial to report clinical cases of TOA to improve the understanding of its clinical characteristics, surgical management, and postoperative evolution. In addition, they provide information on the prognosis and possible long-term complications of this odontogenic neoplasm

Authors: Cancino-Jiménez Daniella , Febré Naldy , Cea-Netting Ximena , Cancino-Jiménez Jorge , Olguín Salomé , Olguín Katherine
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Afaf Meleis's Transitions Theory addresses how multidimensional transitions impact individuals' health and well-being, emphasizing the importance of properly managing these transitions. This study aims to critically and reflectively describe this theory by analyzing its strengths, limitations, usefulness, and significance in nursing education. Method: Chinn and Kramer's theory analysis methodology was used. The description was based on publications from 1994 to 2010, and a critical reflection was performed by searching for evidence in PubMed and CINAHL between 2015 and 2021. The MeSH descriptors "Nursing Theory," "Models," and "Nursing" were used, along with the keywords "Transition" and "Transition Theory Meleis," resulting in a total of 16 selected articles. Results: The Transitions Theory has several strengths and limitations. Among its strengths are its high generalizability and accessibility, allowing for application in various clinical and educational contexts. However, the theory has limited semantic clarity and is complex, which may hinder its full understanding and application. Conclusions: The theory is highly valued in nursing education, providing a valuable theoretical framework for understanding and addressing student transitions. Its application allows for incorporating lived contexts into the educational process, creating equitable and student-centered learning environments. More research is needed in Latin America to evaluate its usefulness and adapt it to regional contexts, promoting meaningful learning both in the classroom and in clinical practice.

Authors: Wang Mingyao , Mohd Nor Normaziah , Abdul Rahim Norhuda bt
Published: October 2024

Measuring corporate financialization concerning environmental, social, and governance standards has not been thoroughly researched, considering the growing attention on this subject among businesses that are not financial. More research is required to truly comprehend the impact of ESG practices on the correlation between financialization and economic performance. Previous research efforts have not correctly accounted for significant variances in this field. This study attempts to address this limitation by investigating the effect of corporate financialization on the financial performance of both State-Owned Enterprises and Non-State-Owned Enterprises in China. The work employed dataset collected about performance indicators of different enterprises from different sources and had identified that the corporate financialization had enhanced financial performance in NSOEs (coefficient=0.3501, p<0.0001) compared to SOEs (coefficient=0.2801, p<0.0001). Further, the study also shows that the environmental component of ESG has a positive and significant impact on financial performance in both SOEs (coefficient=0.1197, p=0.0028) and NSOEs (coefficient=0.1492, p<0.0001)

Summary
The effective policy for training security leaders centers around a couple of aspects: What we deliver and How we deliver. To answer both questions, we should first:

Define the inputs of the system;
Define the target outcomes; and
Assess the impact on three consecutive processes [define, achieve and develop].

Analyzing the training policies at law enforcement, security and police agencies according to international indicators has proven that the effective policy centers around:

Defining the target training outcomes, including defining professional standards and describing the skills required along with measuring the skill gap and implementing target training activities.
Building the capacity to achieve training objectives, including knowledge bases for professional standards, establishing a Code for leadership skills, adopting effective standards to determine leadership competencies and characteristics, designing an effective training content that meets contemporary security challenges, and identifying training paths for each specialized professional group in addition to the general leadership training track and qualifying the trainers.
Governance of training outcomes, including the development of training policies and procedures, selecting implementation partners for training operations, defining the training programs and activities by leadership level, security competency framework and professional specialization, and establishing a system for feedback and ongoing evaluation and improvement.

To ensure continued he effectiveness of the training policy for security leaders; sustainability, competitiveness, evaluation, rectification and partnership should all be in place.

Published: October 2024

Dairy farming is one of the most important areas in the agricultural sector, which regularly provides the country’s population with valuable nutritionally and hygienically safe food products. However, for proper functioning and ensuring a high level of animal productivity, it is essential to take into account such elements as maintaining a consistently high level of sanitary and hygienic conditions in livestock premises, as well as optimising feeding and housing conditions. The purpose of the study was to evaluate different ways of keeping cattle in terms of sanitary and hygienic conditions, taking into account the physiological state of cows. The study was based on zootechnical and breeding records for the previous years of the enterprise’s operation. The research data were calculated using MS Excel 2013. The results of the study indicate that the air in those livestock buildings where dairy cows were kept next to dry cows on a tether had the highest percentage of carbon dioxide at 6 am (0.32%), then during the day this figure decreased to 0.19% and increased again closer to the evening and night time, during which period its value was 0.28%. This indicates that the efficiency of the ventilation system is imperfect in the above method of cattle housing. In addition, the air contamination with microorganisms during the day in different ways of keeping animals had quite clear changes. This is due to the fact that it is during the day that all the most significant technological processes of milk production take place, and this in turn automatically leads to an increase in the number of microorganisms in the air. Thus, taking into account the study of microclimate parameters (air composition, the number of microorganisms in the air, the amount of water vapour), the best option is to separate cows during the dry period from the dairy herd into a specially isolated section equipped with combined boxes, with a free-standing method of housing, which will provide better conditions for keeping dry cows. Thus, compliance with cow housing standards will reduce healthcare costs, increase life expectancy, improve animal welfare and contribute to higher milk production

The implementation of resource-efficient technology in contemporary agricultural production enhances the productivity and efficiency of sunflower farming while mitigating environmental harm. The research aimed to examine the impact of various tillage techniques on sunflower farming in southern Ukraine. A field study was undertaken from 2021 to 2023 at the Educational and Research Centre of Mykolaiv National Agrarian University to achieve this objective. The research established that traditional tillage yields the lowest density of the topsoil (0-10 cm), signifying good soil aeration. At the same time, no-till cultivation is characterised by the highest soil density, but it helps to increase the reserves of productive moisture at all depths. Before sunflower harvesting, the no-till moisture content was 134 mm in the 0-100 cm layer, which is 26 mm more than in conventional tillage. The study showed that plant height and vegetative mass growth of sunflowers were higher than no-till in all growth stages. In the phase of two pairs of true leaves, the height of the plants under no-till was 16.8 cm, and during flowering – 176.2 cm. The growth of vegetative mass in the phase of two pairs of true leaves under no-till reached 135 g/m2 and in the phase of seed formation – 1,380 g/m2. The leaf area index under no-till was the highest in all phases of sunflower growth, in the flowering phase it was 4.8 m2/m2, which is 10% higher than under conventional tillage (4.2). The chlorophyll content was also the highest under no-till and in the flowering phase at 46 (SPAD units). In addition, the sunflower yield under conventional tillage was 3.56 t/ha, under minimum tillage – 3.85 t/ha, and no-till was the highest at 3.95 t/ha. The practical value of the study is to provide scientifically based recommendations for agricultural enterprises on the choice of the optimal method of soil cultivation, which can increase the competitiveness of Ukrainian sunflowers on the world market

Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dynamics of early potato yield formation at 40 days depending on the weather conditions of the research years and the adaptive potential of early potato cultivars. During 2018-2024, 10 cultivars of early potatoes common in the Forest-Steppe zone were investigated in the field (Uman, 48°46′N, 30°14′E). To analyse the results obtained, the study employed generally accepted methods of field and genetic-statistical research. During the study, the number and weight of marketable tubers in the bush, the dynamics of crop formation on the 40th day after germination, and the strength of the correlation between yield and rainfall were investigated. As a result of the data obtained, the most promising cultivars were identified for early potato harvest in the Forest-Steppe region of Ukraine. It was found that this climatic zone is best suited to the cultivars Bazaliia, Tornado and Madison with a yield of 11.0-11.7 t/ha and a large weight of marketable tubers – 58-60 g. In the full ripeness phase, the most productive cultivars were Madison – 37.2 t/ha (+18.6 t/ha of control), Tornado – 34.7 t/ha (+16.1 t/ha of control), Duma and Bazaliia – 31.4 and 32.2 t/ha, respectively (+12.8 t/ha 13.6 t/ha of control, respectively). The study found that the Tornado and Madison cultivars form the largest number of marketable tubers in the bush. Analysis of the semi-ratio of plasticity and stability parameters contributed to the grouping of cultivars into intensive ones (Sanibel, Radomysl, Duma, Bazaliia and Madison had indicators bi > 1, σ2d > 0 and plastic (Povin, Vzirets, Skrabnytsia, Bernina and Tornado). As a result of the study, the most productive potato cultivars for early production were identified, which will ensure the stable development of the vegetable growing industry in the Forest-Steppe zone of Ukraine, and the calculated statistical models will allow predicting and directing the programming of potato yields

SEXUALIDADES REAIS X SEXUALIDADES IMAGINÁRIAS NA SOCIEDADE CONTEMPORÂNEA
Authors: Maroneze Aline Rodrigues , Silva Dafhini Carneiro da
Published: October 2024

Este estudo explora a construção plural e heterogênea das sexualidades e identidades de gênero contemporâneas, destacando a demanda por reconhecimento e cidadania. A pesquisa problematiza a legitimidade social concedida apenas às relações heterossexuais, evidenciando como a binaridade de gênero funciona como um reflexo social que cria sexualidades imaginárias, marginalizando aquelas que não se enquadram nos padrões morais e sociais vigentes. A supremacia masculina e heterossexual, sustentada pelo patriarcado, perpetua a anulação e a hierarquização de expressões de gênero que fogem da “normalidade” imposta. O estudo objetiva analisar a formação e o desenvolvimento das sexualidades em um contexto atual, questionando o patriarcado como criador de papéis sociais restritivos e evidenciando a necessidade de desnaturalizar o sexo biológico como determinante de gênero. Utilizando uma metodologia analítica e hermenêutica, a pesquisa busca compreender a diversidade das sexualidades e a superação de um entendimento binário limitado.

Durable Goods Possession and the Determinants of Subjective Well-being of Households. Evidence from Central European Countries
Authors: DZIECHCIARZ-DUDA Marta
Published: October 2024

The purpose of this study is to indicate determinants of households’ subjective well-being perception. The determinants of subjective well-being include material, financial and immaterial factors, which all are elements of quality of life. An additional source of the subjective well-being perception is the differences between countries in how households assess their current life circumstances. The empirical goal of this study is to model the influence of comparative factors on subjective well-being perception. The evidence comes from the selected European countries, namely Germany and Poland. In absolute values, numbers describing the material wealth in Germany are much higher than Polish equivalents. Surprisingly, the households’ subjective well-being perception in both countries is on an almost identical level. The research hypothesis concerning this phenomenon is that the speed in overall improvement of the households’ material well-being in wealthy countries, like Germany, is lower than in developing countries, like Poland.

Authors: KOWALCZUK Bartłomiej , KULIGOWSKA Karolina
Published: October 2024

This study presents a novel approach to enhancing chatbot intent classification through an optimized data preparation combined with Active Learning. We applied the clustering mechanism using a state-of-the-art sentence-transformers model with cosine similarity for cluster detection in order to categorize messages. This process was further refined through a dedicated Active Learning Pipeline, which focused on the most essential observations for labeling. Incorporating externally sourced labeled data from Scale AI, the labeling process was fine-tuned iteratively, until the model's performance stabilized. This approach shows promise for various datasets and tasks, suggesting a scalable solution for preparing data for supervised modeling and achieving optimal model performance in real-world commercial chatbot scenarios.© 2024 The Author(s).

Published: October 2024

Unfortunately, anxiety has become a subject of increasing interest in the contemporary period due to the effects of the global coronavirus pandemic, as well as conflicts such as the Ukraine-Russia and Israel-Palestine conflicts, which have affected humanity economically and emotionally. Additionally, climate change, with its accompanying effects such as global warming, earthquakes, and floods, is further contributing to the rise in diagnosed cases of anxiety worldwide. In this troubling social context, the focus on anxiety disorders appears more necessary than ever. While the use of hypnosis in anxiety cases is not a new topic, it deserves greater attention due to scientific studies demonstrating its quick benefits in some cases. Furthermore, it is widely agreed that hypnosis yields unquestionable results when combined with other classical psychological therapies, particularly in more complicated cases.Article’s history: Received 31st of August, 2023; Received in revised form 17th of September, 2023; Accepted 2nd of October, 2023; Published as article in Volume I, Issue 1, 2023. Copyright© 2023 The Author(s).

An increasing number of tourists face risks and unforeseen situations while travelling: the limited availability of insurance products, deficiencies in risk coverage, and the failure to meet individual needs make relevant the issue of insurance in the international tourism business. The purpose of the article was to analyse current problems in the field of insurance at the international level and to highlight possible ways to solve them, as well as to determine the prospects for the development of this segment aimed at ensuring maximum safety and convenience for tourists. The article examines the state and prospects for the development of the international market of travel insurance services. With the application of the analysis method, a thorough review of the shortcomings in the activities of insurance companies was carried out, which made it possible to clearly determine the level of importance and provide practical recommendations for their solution. The abstract-logical method was applied to make conclusions based on the study of policyholders’ behaviour, their tendency to risk, and the choice of insurance products. The increase in the volume of tourist trips in the world is accompanied by the increase in appropriate insurance. It causes insurance companies and tour operators a number of problems, such as insufficient adaptation of insurance products to the needs and risks of tourists, limited geographical coverage, and complex registration and compensation procedures. However, there are also prospects for the development: new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and blockchain, which can contribute to the automation and facilitation of insurance processes. Expanding geographic coverage and adapting insurance products to the specific needs of tourists can also ensure the growth of the insurance market in international tourism. The practical value of the conducted research is determined by the development of recommendations for international insurance companies aimed at overcoming problems and reducing risks in the field of travel insurance, both for representatives of the insurance business and for travellers

Financial literacy as a key element of ensuring sustainability and stability of economic systems is becoming important in the process of economic development. Financial literacy contributes to improving the well-being of citizens and the efficiency of financial resource management at the macro level. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to develop models for evaluating the effectiveness of various financial literacy strategies and their impact on the formation of life projects. A complex of scientific methods, including the analysis of statistical data and modelling of financial behaviour, was used to create a strategic model of financial literacy as a concept of a life project. A methodological approach, encompassing the decomposition of the stages of a person’s life and the identification of the peculiarities, connected with the use of money at each of these stages, was implemented in the research. Approaches to financial literacy focused on various forms of interaction with financial resources were suggested, and effective strategies for improving financial literacy were identified. The concept of financial literacy was examined and specified through the lens of knowledge, skills, and confidence for making responsible financial decisions. The advantages and disadvantages of developing financial literacy in Ukraine were identified, and examples of successful strategies of leading countries were provided. The importance of financial education at different stages of a person’s life was substantiated; the key periods of a person’s life and development, when money can act as earnings, expenses, accumulation, preservation, and transfer, were specified. The assessment of the influence of financial literacy on economic behaviour was carried out, and a life project model that takes into account financial decisions and actions was developed. Monetary models of preservation and accumulation of parental income, pocket money, and earnings from employment were considered in detail. The results of this study can be applied in practice when creating a state strategy aimed at increasing the level of financial literacy of the population and ensuring economic security
