Authors: Weatherall Mark , Hay-Smith Jean , Wilson Don
Published: July 2024

aims: To describe urinary incontinence prevalence for New Zealand women. methods: The New Zealand Health Survey Adult Sexual and Reproductive Health module 2014/2015 was used to estimate urinary incontinence prevalence. Associations between urinary incontinence and age, body mass index (BMI), parity and ethnicity were estimated by logistic regression adjusted for sampling weights. results: There were 2,472/5,685 (43.5%) of women aged between and 16 and 74 who responded to the urinary incontinence question and reported at least some incontinence. The sample survey weight-adjusted prevalence (95% confidence interval) was 41.7% (40.0– 43.4). An increased prevalence of incontinence was seen with older age, increased BMI and greater parity. The association between BMI and parity was complex, with the lower prevalence with lower BMI attenuated with increasing parity. After adjustment for these variables there was no association with incontinence prevalence for Māori versus non-Māori or European versus non-European. conclusions: Urinary incontinence is highly prevalent in New Zealand women. There was no association with ethnicity after adjusting for older age, increased BMI and parity. The prevalence identified in the New Zealand Health Survey is higher than that reported in older surveys based on the electoral roll.
DIREITO, CIÊNCIA, POLÍTICA PODERES E SUSTENTABILIDADE DO NÃO SABER NA CONSTRUÇÃO DO FUTURO
Authors: De Giorgi Raffaele
Published: July 2024

O trabalho trata da relação diferente (Hegel) em que direito, ciência, política estão no presente da sociedade moderna. Ele oferece uma representação do presente como diferença e o descreve em sua constituição paradoxal como duração e como limite nos quais sistemas sociais lidam com a questão da sustentabilidade do não-saber.  A história da razão moderna é a história do seu ser presente a si mesma, do seu diferir a si mesma, para se reafirmar em níveis mais altos de complexidade. O presente está presente para si mesmo como esta história da razão.  Neste lugar histórico, a política se especificou na realização de “Zweckprogramme” (programas-de-fins) através dos quais ela se liga à incerteza do futuro que ela mesma constrói. O direito constrói vínculos efêmeros do futuro. A essa política e a esse direito, a ciência oferece observações do mundo na forma do saber. A ciência deslegitima assim o saber cotidiano, mesmo o da política e aquele que é condensado no direito, expande os horizontes do mundo e produz desequilíbrio, transforma entropia em neghentropia. Desprovida de orientação, a política constrói muros para controlar a complexidade e para se proteger contra os excedentes; o direito empresta seus conceitos à proteção das inseguranças efêmeras desta política.  Além dos muros há o não-saber do futuro. Quão sustentável é essa condição?
BREXIT E A UNICIDADE DA CONSTITUIÇÃO DO REINO UNIDO: ENTRE CRISE POLÍTICA, CRISE DEMOCRÁTICA E CRISE CONSTITUCIONAL
Authors: Peluso Neder Meyer Emilio
Published: July 2024

O artigo debate o caráter peculiar da Constituição do Reino Unido, apresentando suas principais instituições e o modo específico de sua conceituação. Ele se situa no campo de estudo do Direito Constitucional Comparado. O objetivo geral é o de verificar como o processo de saída da União Europeia (Brexit) se relaciona com a especificidade daquela Constituição. Será verificado que a não codificação trouxe maiores desafios para o processamento do Brexit. A hipótese é a de que tais dificuldades situam o Reino Unido em uma crise que não se distancia do início de um processo globalizado de gradual crise democrática. Adota-se uma metodologia de estudo de caso, com análise das principais instituições constitucionais britânicas, somado a uma revisão bibliográfica. Discute-se a permanência de históricos contratos de domínio, as características da soberania parlamentar e o paulatino incremento das funções judiciais, paralelos a uma tentativa de reforço da soberania popular e a aceleração de reformas constitucionais. Os resultados indicam a existência de uma crise política no Reino Unido. Conclui-se com a necessidade de distinção entre crise política, crise democrática e crise constitucional.
O BIOPODER, A DEFERÊNCIA E A INCONSTITUCIONALIDADE DOS DECRETOS ESTADUAIS E MUNICIPAIS LIMITADORES DE DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS NO BRASIL
Authors: Borges de Oliveira Emerson Ademir , Dias Jefferson Aparecido
Published: July 2024

Com a pandemia de Covid-19 vieram as restrições. Com as restrições, as violações. O princípio da legalidade, a construção histórica base do Estado de Direito, foi solene e reiteradamente vilipendiado e consigo muitos direitos e princípios constitucionais, os quais, mais do que imprescindíveis para nós, assim o são em um plano universal, como o remansoso ir e vir e o exercício de atividade econômica. Sob a batuta de decretos teratológicos, de má formação congênita, nossos direitos foram restringidos. Mas o que é pior: muitas vezes sob o olhar parcimonioso daqueles que deveriam guardar a Constituição. Será deferência às peças propagandísticas políticas, baseadas no biopoder, que invadem o cotidiano? Será receio de contribuir com o desalento da saúde, a justificar a não-juridicidade? Neste artigo, mais do que abordar a inconstitucionalidade das restrições, propomo-nos a discutir os porquês dessa passividade e aceitação. Metodologicamente, emprestamos o direcionamento indutivo, elegendo algumas características como ponto de partida para edificarmos uma conclusão mais ampla, valendo-nos de ampla revisão bibliográfica e jurisprudencial.

Authors: De Moraes Maria Valentina , Hennig Leal Mônia Clarissa
Published: July 2024

Ao longo da atuação da Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos no cenário internacional, muitas foram as condenações por ela proferidas e as medidas determinadas para cumprimento por parte dos Estados. Contudo, também os níveis de não cumprimento das sentenças aumentaram, estando 85,33% das sentenças com o cumprimento pendente, mostrando-se essencial que se conheça a natureza das medidas determinadas em cada caso, em especial naqueles ainda pendentes de cumprimento total, para que sejam construídos caminhos para uma execução de sentenças mais efetiva. Assim, utilizando-se o método de abordagem dedutivo e de procedimento analítico, partindo-se de uma classificação entre sentenças estruturantes de natureza legislativa, relacionadas à memória coletiva, envolvendo capacitações e políticas públicas e/ou complexas, questiona-se: qual a natureza das sentenças proferidas pela Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos, a partir da classificação proposta, que estão em fase de cumprimento de sentença e das que já foram consideradas cumpridas, a partir de suas determinações? Para tanto, em um primeiro capítulo são apresentados elementos das sentenças estruturantes e da supervisão de cumprimento de sentenças por ela desempenhados, para analisar todas as sentenças proferidas pela Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos até o ano de 2020 quanto à natureza de suas determinações dispositivas. Diante da análise realizada, é possível afirmar que a maioria das sentenças (65%) possui caráter estruturante em alguma medida, sendo possível identificar sentenças estruturantes legislativas, relacionadas com a memória coletiva, envolvendo capacitações e políticas públicas e estruturantes complexas, sendo, por outro lado, as medidas simples as mais cumpridas.

Authors: Kou Fengtian , Wang Xinyi , Jiang Man
Published: July 2024

Transformational leadership refers to a leadership style that aims to inspire and motivate followers to exceed their own self-interests for the sake of the organization and achieve exceptional outcomes. In the context of increasing demands for improved faculty performance in higher education, the relationship between transformational leadership, psychological contract, and faculty performance in higher education institutions remains an active area of academic research. This study focuses on the mediating role of the psychological contract among faculty members in higher education institutions in Shandong Province, exploring the impact of transformational leadership on faculty performance. This study is a quantitative study that used a convenience sampling method to conduct a survey, recruiting 755 faculty members from various higher education institutions across Shandong, China. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS, and the results indicated that transformational leadership significantly enhances faculty members’ psychological contract, consequently improving their performance levels. Moreover, the study revealed that the psychological contract is a key mechanism through which transformational leadership enhances faculty performance, primarily by fostering a higher sense of psychological contract fulfillment among educators. These insights underscore the crucial role of transformational leadership practices and the cultivation of a strong psychological contract in enhancing faculty performance in the higher education sector. The study advocates for the adoption of transformational leadership strategies by higher education administrators, coupled with concerted efforts to forge and sustain a meaningful psychological contract within faculties, as a means to bolster faculty performance.

Authors: Nikiforova O. N. , Markin E. V.
Published: July 2024

Sports training in cyclic sports with the predominant manifestation of endurance, including rowing, is associated with processes of adaptation to the load for 1 to 1.5 hours. The sources of energy during long intensive training are not only muscle glycogen, but also fat and fat-like substances. In this connection, the authors studied the processes of restructuringand adaptation of the organism of rowers to different intensities of physical load by lipid metabolism. The study involved 15 athletes (males) aged 18 to 21 years with the sport qualification «Candidate Master of Sports in Rowing». The main fractions of the lipid spectrum were studied: phospholipids, free cholesterol, non-esterified fatty acids, mono-, di-, triacylglycerols, cholesterol esters, as well as the spectrum of lipoprotein fractions: chylomicrons, pre-β-lipoproteins, remnants, β-lipoproteins, α-lipoproteins, a complex of non-esterified fatty acids with albumin. The studies showed that among the main fractions of the lipid spectrum, the concentration of the non-esterified fatty acid complex was higher than normal by 22.6% after the 7-minute exercise and by 49.6% after the 60-minute exercise, i.e. good functioning of the transport form for free fatty acids, which is important for energy exchange, was recorded. There was a 12.8% increase in phospholipids after the 7-minute exercise and a 17.6% increase after the 60-minute exercise. There was also a 25.3% increase in free cholesterol after the 7-minute exercise and a 36.8% increase after the 60-minute exercise. Unesterified fatty acid content was normal (greater than 0.45 g/l) before the test exercise, but increased by 49.1% (p < 0.05) after the 7-minute exercise. At the 60-minute exercise, this increase flattened and decreased by 17.7% (p<0.05) compared to the 7-minute exercise, but remained 22.6% (p<0.05) above the initial value. It is concluded that non-esterified fatty acids make an important contribution to the supply of lipids for oxidation during endurance exercise.

Abstract. Carbon steel corrosion inhibition in the presence and absence of Ferula lutea butanolic extract (EBFL) as a corrosion inhibitor was investigated. This study focuses on the optimization of three main parameters: inhibitor concentration, immersion time, and temperature, on the corrosion inhibition of X2C30 carbon steel by EBFL based on the weight loss method. A composite-centered design (CCD) of response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to design the experiment utilizing Design Expert software in to assess the experimental factors that influence the process. Both the corrosion rate and the inhibition efficiency were modeled using logarithmic quadratic equations. The achieved correlation between the predicted and experimental values reveals the accuracy of the proposed models. This investigation proved that (RSM) is a useful tool to predict the optimal operating parameters of the examined inhibitor to mitigate carbon steel corrosion. Gravimetric and electrochemical measurements have indicated that extract (EBFL) exhibits corrosion inhibition properties of X2C30 carbon steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid medium.
 
Resumen. Se investigó la inhibición de la corrosión del acero al carbono en presencia y ausencia del extracto butanólico de Ferula lutea (EBFL) como inhibidor de la corrosión. Este estudio se centra en la optimización de tres parámetros principales: la concentración del inhibidor, el tiempo de inmersión y la temperatura, sobre la inhibición de la corrosión del acero al carbono X2C30 por el EBFL basándose en el método de la pérdida de peso. Se empleó un diseño centrado en el compuesto (CCD) de la metodología de superficie de respuesta (RSM) para diseñar el experimento utilizando el software Design Expert en para evaluar los factores experimentales que influyen en el proceso. Tanto la velocidad de corrosión como la eficiencia de inhibición se modelaron mediante ecuaciones cuadráticas logarítmicas. La correlación alcanzada entre los valores predichos y los experimentales revela la precisión de los modelos propuestos. Esta investigación demostró que (RSM) es una herramienta útil para predecir los parámetros operativos óptimos del inhibidor examinado para mitigar la corrosión del acero al carbono. Las mediciones gravimétricas y electroquímicas han indicado que el extracto (EBFL) presenta propiedades de inhibición de la corrosión del acero al carbono X2C30 en medio ácido clorhídrico 1 M.

Abstract. In this work, we presented an atomistic simulation study on YAlO3 perovskite. We simulated the reported crystal structure through the energy minimization process from coulombic and Buckingham potentials with the General Utility Lattice Program (GULP). We determined the formation energy for all point pair defects presented in the system. We found that the anionic Frenkel together with Schottky pair defects are the main defects in the YAlO3 perovskite.
Additionally, we performed several energy profile migrations for each ion, and we determined that oxygen migration was the favored migration via the vacancy-vacancy path with 98.70 kJ/mol. In the end, we performed a series of calculations about doping energy, and we calculated that Ca2+ is the best aliovalent ion for doping YAlO3 compound, which involves the minimum doping energy while the aliovalent doping increases the oxygen vacancy defects. We suggested that these atomistic simulations could be used as a tool in the design or optimization of new materials for developing solid electrolytes.
 
Resumen. En este trabajo presentamos un estudio hecho por medio de simulaciones atomísticas para el compuesto YAlO3 con estructura perovskita. La estructura se simuló por medio de la minimización energética de los potenciales de Coulomb y de Buckingham. Se determinó la energía de formación para todos los pares de defectos puntuales que puede presentar el sistema y encontramos que los defectos tipo Frenkel aniónico y los Schottky son los principales en el compuesto de estudio. También determinamos los perfiles energéticos de migración para los iones en el sistema y encontramos que la migración de menor energía corresponde a la de oxígeno vía vacancia-vacancia con una energía de 98.70 kJ/mol. Hacia el final del artículo, presentamos los cálculos referentes a la energía de dopaje y encontramos que el mejor ion para dopar al compuesto YAlO3 es el ion Ca2+; esto debido a la menor energía de dopaje involucrada y el hecho de que el dopaje aliovalente incrementa las vacancias de oxígeno en el sistema. Sugerimos que este tipo de estudios pueden ser una herramienta muy versátil en el desarrollo y optimización de nuevos electrolitos sólidos.

Background

Global health advocacy plays a crucial role in addressing emerging health challenges, including the provision of surgical healthcare care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Nigeria launched its national surgical, obstetrics, anaesthesia, and nursing plan (NSOANP) in 2019 to improve access to surgical services, including cleft lip and palate. This report examines the potential of media engagement as a catalyst for advocacy initiatives to strengthen surgical systems.

Methods

The study conducted media and advocacy workshops targeting journalists from various media outlets across Nigeria. Workshops included didactic lectures, presentations, role plays, and group discussions. Participants were evaluated through pre- and post-tests. Follow-up activities tracked participants’ reporting and awarded prizes for outstanding reporting on cleft and surgical care.

Results

One hundred and three journalists, including 61 (59.2%) males and 42 (39.8%) females participated, showing significant improvement in knowledge about cleft lip and palate anomalies and access to surgical care (p = 0.03). Post-workshop outputs included public enlightenment programmes, radio dramas, and published reports. The initiative awarded prizes to 9 journalists for quality reporting.

Conclusions

Media engagement is a potent tool for advocating for surgical care access. The success of this initiative underscores the importance of collaboration between stakeholders and the need for sustained efforts to support advocacy for access to surgical healthcare.
