Iowa Gambling Task performance in individuals with schizophrenia: the role of general versus specific cognitive abilities
Authors: Orm Stian , Øie Merete Glenne , Haugen Ingvild 
Published: December 2024

ObjectiveWe aimed to explore how specific cognitive processes, such as attention and executive functions, account for variance in decision-making measured by Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) performance among individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.MethodsAdults (N = 65, Mage = 25.4) with schizophrenia spectrum disorders participating in a clinical trial (registered at clinicaltrials.gov NCT03048695) completed the IGT, neuropsychological tests of attention, response inhibition, mental flexibility, working memory, and planning, as well as subtests from the Wechsler tests of intelligence to estimate IQ. Associations between performance on specific tasks, a composite score of executive function and attention, and IGT performance measured in two ways, one using the total net score, decks (C+D) – (A+B) and the other as preference for decks with more frequent gains than losses, decks (B+D) – (A+C), were analyzed with correlational and hierarchical regression analysis controlling for estimated IQ and psychotic symptoms, measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale.ResultsIn the regression analyses, the strongest predictor of IGT performance measured as the total net score was estimated IQ (b = 1.43, p &lt;.001). Neither specific cognitive tasks nor the composite score of executive functioning significantly contributed to explaining variance in IGT total net score beyond IQ and symptoms of psychosis. However, IQ and symptoms of psychosis did not predict tendency towards selecting decks with different gain-to-loss frequency, whereas poorer composite executive functioning predicted a pattern of selecting decks A and C with more frequent losses, (b = 8.30, p &lt;.05).DiscussionThe results suggest that both IQ and executive functions contribute to IGT performance, but in distinct ways. Whereas lower IQ may contribute to overall more disadvantageous decision-making, poorer executive functioning may contribute to a more risk-aversive decision-making style. A clinical implication may be that individuals with schizophrenia and lower IQ or poorer executive functioning will have a higher need for support and interventions targeting decision-making.

Published: December 2024

BackgroundBone transport techniques are crucial for managing large bone defects, but the optimal approach for different defect lengths remains unclear. This study aimed to compare bone regeneration rates between short bifocal bone transport (SBBT), long bifocal bone transport (LBBT), and trifocal bone transport (TBT) using pixel value ratio (PVR) as an objective quantitative measure.MethodsThis retrospective study included 60 patients undergoing lower limb bone transport, divided into SBBT (n = 22, defects &lt;6 cm), LBBT (n = 20, defects ≥6 cm), and TBT (n = 18, defects ≥6 cm) groups. PVR was measured at 4, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively using standardized digital radiographs. Healing index (HI) and external fixation index (EFI) were calculated to assess treatment efficiency. Demographic data, surgical characteristics, and complications were also analyzed.ResultsTBT showed significantly higher PVR values compared to LBBT at all time points (4 weeks: 0.779 ± 0.036 vs. 0.719 ± 0.027, p &lt; 0.001; 8 weeks: 0.822 ± 0.027 vs. 0.787 ± 0.025, p = 0.008; 12 weeks: 0.866 ± 0.024 vs. 0.835 ± 0.016, p = 0.023) and to SBBT at 4 and 8 weeks (p &lt; 0.001 and p = 0.016, respectively). The TBT group demonstrated significantly lower HI and EFI compared to both SBBT and LBBT groups (p &lt; 0.05), indicating faster healing and shorter treatment times. Although SBBT showed slightly higher PVR values than LBBT, the differences were not statistically significant.ConclusionTrifocal bone transport leads to faster bone regeneration and shorter treatment times compared to bifocal techniques, particularly for longer bone defects. The study demonstrates that defect length alone may not be the primary factor influencing regeneration rates in bifocal transport. PVR proves to be a reliable and cost-effective tool for assessing bone regeneration in different bone transport techniques, offering potential for guiding clinical decision-making. These findings suggest that trifocal transport should be considered as a preferred method for treating larger bone defects, especially when minimizing treatment time is crucial.

Published: December 2024

No mundo atual, há um crescente uso de aparelhos celulares por diversas pessoas e com os estudantes não é diferente, cada vez mais se observa uma dependência desse artefato tecnológico. Assim, este trabalho visa ensinar os estudantes a desenvolver ações voltadas para a destinação correta dos celulares em desuso e de suas baterias velhas ou danificadas. A intervenção pedagógica foi idealizada com o intuito de apresentar propostas dos estudantes para solução dos problemas de descarte incorreto do lixo eletrônico, como pilhas e baterias. Foi realizada uma intervenção pedagógica em sala de aula nas turmas de 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental e 1º ano de Ensino Médio das cidades de Uruçuca/BA, Cantagalo/PR e Ponta Grossa/PR, discutindo com os estudantes propostas de solução dos problemas de descarte incorreto do lixo eletrônico. A intervenção consistiu em dois momentos: o primeiro de caráter diagnóstico, com o intuito de, por meio de questionário estruturado, avaliar a realidade do uso e descarte de pilhas e baterias pelos alunos; e, no segundo momento, foram exploradas as propostas dos estudantes para a solução dos problemas de descarte desse tipo de lixo.
As implicações no espaço territorial do município de Tailândia decorrentes das políticas de estado para o desenvolvimento da dendeicultura na Amazônia paraense
Authors: Melo Matheus Luan Nascimento , Berreta Márcia dos Santos Ramos 
Published: December 2024

A monocultura de dendê emergiu como alternativa para a mudança na matriz energética no contexto da crise de petróleo e críticas à dependência aos combustíveis fósseis na década de 1970. Na Amazônia brasileira a dendeicultura é considerada um meio de recuperação de áreas degradadas, cobertura de áreas expostas, geração de renda e inclusão da agricultura familiar. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar as mudanças espaciais no município de Tailândia (PA) em decorrência da implantação de programas para o incentivo a essa monocultura. Os aspectos metodológicos envolvem a análise, com base na literatura científica, de três políticas públicas adotadas pelos governos, juntamente com a análise multitemporal por meio da classificação de imagens de satélites dos usos e cobertura da terra. Além disso, foram utilizados dados do IBGE sobre a produção de dendê no município. A dendeicultura em Tailândia gera mudanças espaciais que preocupam a comunidade científica devido à expansão de monoculturas sobre as florestas tropicais.
Sobre la unidad y semejanza de las letras y los sonidos para hacer consonancia: el Arte poética española de Juan Díaz Rengifo en la tradición prescriptiva española
Authors: Pla Colomer Francisco Pedro 
Published: December 2024

La presente investigación se centra en el estudio de los rasgos fónicos del español de la segunda mitad del siglo XVI apresados en el Arte poética española (1592) de Juan Díaz Rengifo (más concretamente en su Sylva), a la luz de las principales artes poéticas españolas: desde la Gramática de Antonio de Nebrija y el Arte poética castellana de Juan del Encina hasta las obras contemporáneas del autor abulense; es el caso del Cisne de Apolo (1602) de Luis Alfonso de Carballo. La conjunción de los estudios de carácter diacrónico, por un lado, y los tratados poéticos, por otro, conducirá a la obtención de resultados sólidos en lo referente a la descripción de una de las artes poéticas más completas en la historia de la lengua española.
Une analyse 4D (3D + temps) de l’entrée de la grotte Chauvet-Pont d’Arc (Ardèche, France)

Published: December 2024

Depuis sa découverte en 1994, la grotte Chauvet-Pont d’Arc a fait l’objet de nombreuses datations radiométriques à la fois sur les panneaux ornés, les vestiges archéologiques (charbons de bois…), paléontologiques (ossements) mais aussi sur des objets géologiques (stalagmites, paroi…). Sur la zone de l’entrée préhistorique, des datations ont notamment permis de contraindre efficacement la chronologie de la fermeture de la cavité. Ces dates d’abord réalisées sur des calcites scellant le dépôt d’écroulement ont été complétées par des dates 36Cl sur les niches surplombant la paléo-entrée. Dans le même temps, des relevés 3D par lasergrammétrie ont permis de mieux contraindre les limites géomorphologiques de l’ancien porche et du dépôt qui a scellé définitivement l’entrée de la cavité. Cette analyse géomorphologique conduite sur des cartes, des coupes et des modèles 3D surfacique RTI (Réseau de Triangles Irréguliers), permet d’identifier plusieurs surfaces-repères dans l’espace étudié. Celles-ci permettent de rendre compte des événements qui ont marqué l’évolution de la cavité dans des temporalités aussi bien synchrone (ex : une niche d’écroulement) que diachrone (ex : un tablier d’éboulis progradant). Ces surfaces sont rattachées au modèle chronologique contraint à la fois par l’emboitement des objets (chronologie relative) et par les dates réalisées sur le site (chronologie absolue). Nous proposons ici une visualisation de cette chronologie relative, drapée sur le modèle 3D de la zone d’entrée de la grotte Chauvet. Cette visualisation 4D (3D + temps) constitue une nouvelle méthode d’analyse de la succession des évènements qui ont conduit à la mise en place du paysage actuel. Elle offre la possibilité de mieux associer les différents objets (surfaces) sur la base de leur géométrie et de leur âge. Cette démarche pourrait s’avérer être un outil complémentaire efficace à la reconstitution des paléo-paysages (visualisation par surfaces repères) et à l’orientation des futures stratégies d’échantillonnage, en fonction de ces surfaces désormais mieux contraintes en chronologie relative.

Le programme collectif de recherche « Partition stylistique territoriale au Néolithique ancien en Alsace » questionne l’organisation des systèmes économiques et sociaux des ensembles rubanés de Haute et Basse Alsace (France) au travers des chaînes opératoires des céramiques. Cet article présente les premiers résultats des analyses pétrographiques des poteries rubanées et de traditions non-rubanées des sites de Sainte-Odile et Rittergass à Rosheim (Bas-Rhin), l’AFUA du Stade et Le Village à Bischoffsheim (Bas-Rhin), tous localisés dans la vallée de la Bruche. Il s’agit d’identifier l’origine des terres, les traditions techniques impliquées dans leurs préparations, et de questionner l’existence d’un centre importateur/redistributeur de biens sur le site de Sainte-Odile à Rosheim. Les résultats montrent une organisation de la production et de la collecte des terres dans les deux zones. En effet, il existe un lien entre la taille des inclusions minérales dans les terres et l’épaisseur des parois des vases. Ces matériaux sont collectés aux pieds des roches mères dans les Vosges ou en fond de vallée. L’ajout de dégraissant est peu utilisé par les artisans, et se retrouve essentiellement dans les céramiques de traditions non-rubanées. Les vases ayant des origines exogènes sont rares, et ne démontrent pas l’incorporation des céramiques dans les réseaux d’échanges de ces occupations.

Lors de la mise en place de la prévention sida en 1994 au Cap d’Agde Naturiste, la cohabitation naturisme familial en journée, libertinage le soir et la nuit est bouleversée par l’extension du nombre de voyeurs, l’arrivée massives de libertin…es(toutes couches sociales confondues) et les transformations des sexualités.L’article décrit les situations topographiques, sexuelles et sociales, les mises en scène des corps, et les réponses administratives et policières à ce dérèglement.Dans cette capitale européenne de l’échangisme, comme partout en France, le commerce libertin, tourisme compris, quitte l’artisanat, le bricolage et le « fait-main » pour se capitaliser et s’industrialiser.À l’opposé d’un « naturisme naturaliste » qui fleure bon les valeurs familialistes réactionnaires, se développe une offre de sexualités dites « non-conformistes » qui se propose de satisfaire couples, hommes seuls et les quelques rares femmes seules qui affluent au fur et à mesure que la grande presse en parle. Le tout baigné par la domination masculine hétéronormative.
La famille nue

Se ressourcer, voire renaître en vivant nu dans une Nature primordiale qui prend la forme d’un camp protégé du reste de l’humanité des "textiles", tel semble être le mode d’être que les naturistes ont réussi à mettre en œuvre. Pour accéder à ce mode de vie, il faut commencer par effacer la honte de - L’animal que donc je suis (Derrida). Parés d’une nudité qu’ils vivent comme un bouclier transparent d’innocence, les naturistes cherchent à ne faire qu’un seul corps fraternel au sein de La Nature-Mère… dans des camps retranchés et durant quelques semaines. Hypocrisie ? Contradiction ? Et si être naturiste, c’était aujourd’hui, avoir la sagesse d’accepter que le corps se transforme au gré des âges comme des saisons, pour mieux accueillir la vieillesse et la biodiversité en général ! C’est à travers le prisme des photographies d’Hervé Szydlowski, des nus troublants de John Currin, voire plantureux de Jenny Saville que cet article propose de revisiter l’ambivalence des dispositifs qui ont favorisé le succès, toujours renouvelé depuis sa création au sortir de la deuxième guerre mondiale, du camp naturiste le CHM de Montalivet en Médoc.
The adoption of virtual reality technologies for training healthcare professionals
Authors: Malungana Lario , Chimbo Bester 
Published: December 2024

Background: The current digital transformation has resulted in a greater emphasis on the training of healthcare professionals. Therefore, adoption of virtual and augmented reality technologies in South African hospitals is hindered by the lack of service delivery by healthcare professionals.Aim: The study aims to examine the applications of virtual and augmented reality in healthcare training for application, efficacy for healthcare professionals.Setting: South African hospitals.Methods: This study presents a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA framework that evaluates the efficacy of virtual and augmented reality training in enhancing the abilities of healthcare professionals. A search was performed via the Scopus and Google Scholar databases, covering the period from 2019 to 2024.Results: Initial studies suggest that the healthcare sector has a limited understanding of the concepts of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Furthermore, virtual and augmented reality technologies employ more sophisticated techniques than physical training for comprehension by creating a simulated environment.Conclusion: The research article indicates that training through patient simulation is an effective method for educating healthcare professionals prior to healthcare professionals’ clinical practice. Healthcare professionals are allowed to cultivate vital abilities and engage in practice sessions without the potential of inflicting harm on actual patients. The application of human practice can be achieved in either a clinical setting or a simulation laboratory.Contribution: This study significantly contributes to the healthcare sector by examining the adoption of virtual and augmented reality.
Compliance with radiation protection among radiographers in Eswatini public health facilities
Authors: Shungube Amelia , Khoza Thandokuhle E. 
Published: December 2024

Background: The consequence of non-compliance with patient radiation safety standards increases unnecessary radiation exposure with high chances of harmful biological effects. Radiographers are trained to prevent these harmful effects by enforcing radiation protection, which is achieved through proper techniques, equipment, shielding materials and beam collimation.Aim: The study aimed to explore compliance with radiation protection by radiographers in Eswatini public health facilities (PHFs).Setting: Eswatini PHFs with radiography departments (RDs) representing all four regions in the country.Methods: The study applied a qualitative exploratory design. Purposive sampling was used to select participants. In-depth face-to-face interviews were conducted with radiographers (who have at least 2 years of work experience) until data saturation was achieved with the 13th participant. Data were analysed thematically.Results: A total of three themes were identified from the data analysis, namely participants’ attitudes towards compliance with radiation safety standards; participants’ subjective norms; and perceived behavioural control factors.Conclusion: The study demonstrated radiographers’ awareness and knowledge of patient radiation safety standards. However, compliance with the standards remained a personal decision as radiographers are not obliged to comply. Moreover, defective lead protective devices, the unavailability of the full scope of lead protective designs, the inappropriate design of the RD building and unauthorised staff making unjustified X-ray requests contributed to non-compliance.Contribution: The study highlighted a gap in compliance with patient radiation safety standards that requires attention from Eswatini’s Ministry of Health (MOH).

Published: December 2024

Creativity, intrinsically linked to creative thinking, stands as an essential tool for innovative problem solving, a highly valued ability in the current context. While education plays a critical role in developing a student's creative and reflective potential, its promotion does not always receive the necessary attention. This study analyzes the influence of creative thinking on the academic performance of university students. Methodologically, a bibliographic review was carried out in the main databases, identifying 20 relevant studies. The results revealed various strategies to promote creative thinking, with contextualized and heterogeneous responses. The need to deepen research in this area is highlighted to generate a more robust corpus of knowledge that can be evaluated and applied by the educational community.

Published: December 2024

Face is one of the most fundamental part of body which conveys a wealth of information, reflects the personality and wisdom. People who experience facial problems possess a negative self-image compared to those with normal faces. In Ayurveda texts Acne is termed as yuvan pidika was first described by Acharya Sushruta as one of the kshudra rogas. Yuvan pidika means that the disease almost takes place in young age. Acene is one of the most prevalent skin conditions affecting teenagers. It is a disease of the pilosebaceous unit. It is a very common skin disorder which can be present with inflammatory or non-inflammatory lesions. It is characterized by formation of open and closed comedons, papules, pustules nodules and cysts. In Ayurveda vitiation of kapha dosha, vata dosha and rakht dhatu lead to development of mukhadushika. Ayurveda has a great potential in the management of various skin disorder and in this article success story of the management of acene vulgaris is reported. Virechan therapy is given to the patient after Snehan karma followed by Sansarjan karma. Assessment was done after Virechan karma and after Sansarjana karma. Remarkable changes were found in various symptoms after assessment.
