Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Objective:
This study aimed to determine the impact of a transformational leadership style on the quality of nursing care in the second health cluster of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Methods:
A quantitative cross-sectional research design was used in this investigation. Convenience sampling was used to choose 350 nurses as participants for the investigation. The nurses’ perceptions of transformational leadership and the quality of nursing care were evaluated using the Global Transformational Leadership Scale and the Quality Nursing Care Scale. A 52-item online survey that participants self-administered through Google Forms was used to collect data.

Results:
The nurses perceived leadership positively and endorsed transformational qualities, with a mean value of 3.87 and a total score of 27.15. The Quality of Nursing Care Scale, which had a total score of 146.5 and a mean of 4.07, indicates nurses’ approval of the present quality of care and a holistic approach to patient well-being.

Conclusion:
A strong positive link was found between quality of nursing care and transformative leadership.

ABSTRACT

Objectives:
The aim of this article is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of subgingival application of ozonated olive oil, plain olive oil, and chlorhexidine gel as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (SRP) in chronic periodontitis.

Materials and Methods:
One hundred and twenty patients with chronic periodontitis were included in this study and assigned into three groups. In Group I, Group II, and Group III, SRP was done followed by subgingival application of ozonated olive oil, plain olive oil, and chlorhexidine gel in Group I, II, and III, respectively, at baseline 7, 14, and 21 days. Recordings of clinical parameters (gingival index [GI], probing pocket depth [PPD], clinical attachment level [CAL]) were done at baseline and one month.

Results:
The mean GI, PPD, and CAL scores at baseline for Group I was 2.78 ± 0.42, 2.78 ± 0.42, and 2.66 ± 0.38; for Group II was 2.64 ± 0.39, 6.40 ± 0.50, and 6.40 ± 0.50; and for Group III was 6.00 ± 0.00, 6.40 ± 0.50, and 6.40 ± 0.50, and the scores after one month for Group I was 1.10 ± 0.38, 0.21 ± 0.07, and 0.07 ± 0.05; for Group II was 0.05 ± 0.05, 5.40 ± 0.50, and 5.75 ± 0.44; and for Group III was 5.00 ± 0.00, 5.75 ± 0.44, and 5.28 ± 0.45, with the level of significance being (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
The ozonated olive oil and chlorhexidine gel have shown significant improvement in periodontal health compared to plain olive oil. Ozonated olive oil can be used as local drug delivery (LDD), an adjunct to SRP in chronic periodontitis which is safe and well accepted by patients without any noticeable side effects.
Fraternidade Cristã e Ecologia Integral no Papa Francisco
Authors: Boccato de Almeida André Luiz , Camargo Julian , Lupeke Prosper 
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo analisará o tema da fraternidade cristã e a ecologia integral no Papa Francisco, a partir de uma abordagem teológica de um novo humanismo que brota deste pontificado que tem a sua fonte da perspectiva cristã. Propõe-se destacar a centralidade de uma visão humanista centrada na respeito à criação, à casa comum, ao planeta, a todos os seres que habitam e se se relacionam com o ser humano. Este vive uma crise de convivência e de aceitação de que não está no centro de um modo único. O ser humano ocupa sim, a centralidade no plano da criação, mas desde que assuma com responsabilidade e ética o cuidado e promova o bem comum, contudo, neste artigo, se discutirá os limites desta realidade. A reflexão se conduzirá mediante três partes. Na primeira, serão apresentados os grandes desafios contemporâneos à fraternidade humana que impactam diretamente e indiretamente a boa convivência de todos os seres entre si. Na segunda, se procurará analisar o sentido do humanismo cristão na reflexão teológica. Nesta se compreenderá a importância de um posicionamento que denuncie um paradigma que pode conduzir a humanidade a uma deterioração do sentido de convivência e de fraternidade. Por fim, se refletirá a emergência do novo humanismo inaugurado no atual pontificado do Papa Francisco com sua proposta de recuperar o verdadeiro sentido do cristianismo enquanto fonte de sentido para uma ecologia de respeito e cuidado com a casa comum. Objetiva-se, com este artigo, apresentar a íntima relação entre a questão da fraternidade e da ecologia de viés cristão, em meio à complexa realidade atual. Da teologia, se pode captar a relevância de revisitar as fontes com uma hermenêutica que integre, associe e recepcione a questão socioambiental na atualidade.

Foi bastante acertada a escolha de Isabel Lustosa para o título de sua obra dedicada à trajetória de Hipólito José da Costa. Ao referir-se ao seu biografado como “o jornalista que imaginou o Brasil”, a autora não só nos presentou com uma narrativa impecável sobre um dos mais influentes redatores de jornais de sua época, como também nos incitou a pensar como a intelectualidade luso-brasileira imaginava o que viria a ser o Brasil.
A dimensão imaginativa aparece em franco diálogo com os estudos de Benedict Anderson sobre as comunidades políticas imaginadas, intrinsicamente ligadas à noção de pertencimento. Afinal, Hipólito José da Costa passou mais da metade da sua vida fora do Brasil, o que não o impediu de escrever sobre e para o Brasil. Assim como o jornalista exilado em Londres, outras vozes e perspectivas também contribuíram para identificar o que Cecília H. de Salles Oliveira chamou de “tangibilidade da nação” – uma identidade “brasileira” que, lentamente, ia sendo forjada como diversa, embora originária, da portuguesa.
Esse dossiê intentou reunir estudos sobre diferentes vozes da intelectualidade “brasileira” que, sobretudo no século XIX, procurou imaginar o Brasil. Vozes essas que entendemos plurais, incluindo mulheres, afro-americanos, indígenas e outros grupos historicamente silenciados, que a despeito de sua marginalização política e social, também pensaram e forjaram alternativas de futuro para o Brasil.
Busou-se, portanto, reunir pesquisas que explorassem os debates sobre identidade nacional, filosofia política, literatura, ciência e muito mais. Consideramos tanto as convergências quanto as divergências de pensamento, destacando como essa intelectualidade diversa ajudou a fundar, de maneira complexa e multifacetada, a brasilidade.
Mode-Group (De)Multiplexer Based on Directional Coupler Formed by Heterogeneous Integrated Waveguides

Published: December 2024

A simple mode-group (de)multiplexer utilizing a co-planar directional coupler formed by heterogeneous waveguides is proposed, which features two few-mode cores with different refractive indices and heights. The proposed device enables the control of mode-group (de)multiplexing between two few-mode cores, i.e., for manipulating both the E21 and E12 modes as a mode group. A three-mode (de)multiplexer is designed and fabricated with polymer materials through multi-step photolithography to demonstrate the proposed methodology, where only the high-order modes couple between two few-mode cores. For E21 mode and E12 mode, A coupling ratio higher than 90.6% and 89.9% is measured of our device within the C-band, ranging from 1530 to 1565 nm. A low polarization state sensitivity is confirmed by modal crosstalk lower than −9.8 dB and −9.5 dB to the E11 mode from E21 mode and E12 mode, respectively. A modal crosstalk lower than −17.8 dB to both the E21 and E12 modes from E11 mode is represented. The proposed mode-group (de)multiplexer can be further developed to manipulate more guide mode groups, and the crosstalks can be further decreased by introducing horizontal and vertical tapers during the fabrication. The device proposed can find application in photonic integrated chips where mode-group manipulations are required.

Published: December 2024

BackgroundThe aging of societies highlights the importance of understanding the lives of the elderly. Researchers are interested in iden-tifying factors of psychological well-being associated with age as it is crucial to find out what contributes to a fulfilling life of older people. However, the relationship of psychological well-being with adaptive and maladaptive functioning remains ambiguous. This study aimed to assess this relationship among older adults.Participants and procedureThe study involved 332 individuals aged 60 to 97, with an average age of 71.93 years, of whom 36.4% were male. A nationally representative sample of older adults was obtained using multistage stratified sampling. The short supplemen-tary scale of the Lithuanian Psychological Well-Being Scale and Older Adult Self Report (OASR/60+) were used.ResultsThe hierarchical regression analysis revealed that, even after controlling for other factors of psychological well-being, cer-tain specific problems – namely anxiety/depression, thought problems, and irritability/disinhibition – were significant pre-dictors of psychological well-being.ConclusionsOur study underscores the importance of targeting specific maladaptive behaviors, such as anxiety, thought problems, and irritability when developing interventions for the elderly. Addressing these issues may enhance their psychological well-being and contribute to successful aging.

Published: December 2024

The role of power performance in elite athletes has been enriched by identifying associations between specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and power performance. To deepen our understanding of this association, the objective of this study was to explore the relationship between the genotype and the phenotype in elite athletes. A total of 278 German national squad athletes (156 males, 122 females) underwent genotyping, and their performance in a countermovement jump test (CMJ) and 10-m sprint was assessed. Genotype distribution was analyzed using Chi-square tests. Spearman correlation was employed to examine associations between selected SNPs (e.g., ACTN3, AGT, HSD17B14, IP6K3, MTRR, UCP2, and VDR) and CMJ and sprint performances. Gender-specific polygenic "Total Genotype Scores" (TGSsig) were calculated. Predictive power of TGSsig on power performance was evaluated using linear regression. TGSsig explained 10% of variance in CMJ and sprint performance in both genders. Among males, correlations were identified between AGT and VDR with the CMJ as well as between IP6K3 and sprint performance (p < 0.05). In females, ACTN3, AGT, and UCP2 exhibited associations with the CMJ, while HSD17B14, MTRR, and UCP2 were correlated with sprint performance (p < 0.05). Significant differences in genotype distribution between genders were observed for DMD and MPRIP. Our findings strengthen the idea of power being partly heritable, however, the genotype only partially, by 10%, determines power performance. The role of the athletes' genotype for individual performance development should be investigated in future longitudinal studies.

Towards posthuman music scholarship:
Reflections inspired by Inughuit music of Greenland (Kalaallit Nunaat)

This article argues, in the spirit of pluriversalism, for parallel statuses of Indigenous onto-epistemology and western humanistic research in the academy. Posthumanist theorization has often drawn on indigenous knowledge without proper reference to it. We consider this to be knowledge colonization. The reciprocal relationship between Earth, human, nature and the nonhuman has lived in Indigenous ways of life and thought for millennia. To inform solutions to the intensifying ecological crisis, posthumanism now seeks to develop a resonant “posthuman” epistemology.
We demonstrate the discrepancy between western human-centred and Indigenous musical ways of thinking and being by juxtaposing approaches to Inughuit music by Danish eskimologist and music researcher Michael Hauser, and Inughuit drumsinger Hivshu. Hivshu’s conceptualization of music is closer to a posthumanism that takes distance from representational theory. The discussion is contextualized in Indigeneity, the Inughuit philosophical tradition and in disciplinary developments of music research.
Projections of precipitation and temperatures in Greenland and the impact of spatially uniform anomalies on the evolution of the ice sheet
Authors: Bochow Nils , Poltronieri Anna , Boers Niklas 
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Simulations of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) at millennial timescales and beyond often assume spatially and temporally uniform temperature anomalies and precipitation sensitivities over these timescales or rely on simple parameterisation schemes for the precipitation rates. However, there is no a priori reason to expect spatially and temporally uniform sensitivities across the whole GrIS. Precipitation is frequently modelled to increase with the standard thermodynamic scaling of ∼7 % K−1 derived from the Clausius–Clapeyron relation and often based on older model generations. Here, we update the commonly used parameters for long-term modelling of the GrIS, based on the output of the latest generation of coupled Earth system models (CMIP6), using the historical time period and four different future emission scenarios. We show that the precipitation sensitivities in Greenland have a strong spatial dependence, with values ranging from −3 % K−1 in southern Greenland to 13 % K−1 in northeastern Greenland relative to the local annual mean near-surface temperature in the CMIP6 ensemble mean. Additionally, we show that the annual mean temperatures in Greenland increase between 1.29 and 1.53 times faster than the global mean temperature (GMT), with northern Greenland warming up to 2 times faster than southern Greenland in all emission scenarios. However, we also show that there is a considerable spread in the model responses that can, at least partially, be attributed to differences in the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) response across models. Finally, using the Parallel Ice Sheet Model (PISM), we show that assuming uniform temperature and precipitation anomalies and sensitivities leads to overestimation of near-surface temperatures and underestimation of precipitation in key regions of the GrIS, such as southwestern Greenland. This, in turn, can result in substantial overestimation of ice loss in the long-term evolution of the GrIS.

Cinco ideas sobre la asistencia social de las derechas políticas en Argentina (1955-2023)
Authors: Zuccaro Agustín Ezequiel 
Published: December 2024

El trabajo identifica cinco ideas sobre la asistencia social que han caracterizado a las derechas políticas en el gobierno. Se analiza el periodo temporal que transcurre desde 1955 hasta la actualidad en Argentina, constituyendo un primer intento por situar una mirada que aborde de forma integral e histórica el vínculo entre estas fuerzas sociales y la práctica estatal de la asistencia social.
El análisis comprensivo está compuesto por la literatura académica que abordó el tema, una base de datos propia y la observación de las primeras medidas del actual gobierno. En términos expositivos, se agrupan elementos con continuidades significativas y se identifican cinco sentidos típicos ideales: 1) “disputa a su adversario político”: la asistencia social ha sido pensada como un elemento que posibilitaría ganar una parte de la base social ajena a sus afinidades y proyecto político; 2)“reeducación de los pobres”: moraliza las condiciones de vida de los sujetos pobres y observa a la pobreza como un problema de “mentalidad”, por lo que proponen la práctica asistencial en términos educativos; 3) “gobernabilidad”: en el marco de la atención asistencial se pretende asegurar mínimos de reproducción social con el objetivo de erradicar el conflicto social; 4) “tecnocracia”: entiende que se deben despolitizar las demandas asistenciales y que ellas deben estar definidas por los expertos, redefine “desde arriba” las necesidades sociales en un proceso que desestructura lo social y lo político; 5) “econometrismo social”: incorpora la lógica costo-beneficio para pensar las agencias estatales y presupone la subsidiaridad de lo social a lo económico. En términos instrumentales, se fundamentó en los planteos de los planes de ajuste fiscal como política estatal y esfuerzo ciudadano, atendiendo las derivas que ello podría tener en cierto segmento de la población.
Vulneración al principio de igualdad en el acceso al régimen semiabierto en el Ecuador

Published: December 2024

Desde el comienzo de la humanidad se ha dejado claro que todas las personas somos iguales desde el derecho consagrado por Dios en su Santa escritura, se afirma que desde los tiempos inmemoriales la humanidad ha luchado constantemente para que ese derecho sea retribuido, hoy en la actualidad “gozamos de los principios establecidos en nuestra ley suprema y de manera vinculante en los convenios internacionales” (Asamblea Nacional Constituyente, 2008), Nuestra carta magna estipula que el estado es el máximo garantizador de los derechos y garantías de estos, siendo por tanto la que en esta presente investigación no cumple a cabalidad para garantizar con esta condición, es por esto que existe ciertas prohibiciones para los reclusos que están en calidad de sentenciados, para el “acceso al Régimen Semiabierto” (Asamblea Nacional, 2021), el derecho de la igualdad es un principio fundamental en la esfera del derecho la legitimación y la justicia que establece que todas las personas son consideradas en estado de vulnerabilidad y proporcionarles la igualdad que merecen, sin discriminación ante la ley.
El derecho de igualdad implica que todos los ciudadanos tienen a derecho a oportunidades justas y amparo ante las vulneraciones de la ley, independientemente por su origen étnico, género, religión, orientación sexual, discapacidad, edad u otras características personales como es el pasado judicial.
