Published: December 2023

Introdução: A vulnerabilidade familiar é resultado de diversos fatores, como a ruptura de laços afetivos devido ao estilo de vida contemporâneo, a persistência da estrutura patriarcal que expõe mulheres a abusos domésticos, deficiências nas políticas públicas e desigualdades sociais ligadas ao sistema econômico. Abordar essa complexidade requer uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, como a proporcionada pela bioética. Objetivos: Analisar, por meio de revisão integrativa da literatura, as políticas públicas que se relacionam com as vulnerabilidades em saúde das famílias brasileiras. Materiais e Método: A pesquisa integrativa foi realizada nas bases de dados LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde) e o BDENF (Banco de Dados em Enfermagem – Bibliografia Brasileira), ambas indexadas pela Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Como critérios de inclusão e exclusão foram definidos: artigos completos correspondentes às palavras-chave "saúde da família" AND "vulnerabilidade" publicados entre os anos 2012 e 2022 no idioma em português. Resultados: Como resultados, foram analisados 88 artigos cujos conteúdos foram sintetizados em 5 categorias: 1) Saúde da família e comunidade, que evidencia desafios teóricos, metodológicos e programáticos relacionados à localização da família em seus contextos comunitários; 2) Saúde da criança e adolescente, que destaca a importância da atuação dos profissionais de saúde sobre o tema de prevenção das violências e abusos de crianças e adolescentes; 3) Saúde da mulher, que relaciona a vulnerabilidade da saúde da mulher à políticas públicas de igualdade de gênero e saúde reprodutiva; 4) Saúde do idoso, que aponta para a importância de políticas públicas de saúde que partam da identificação das fragilidades dos idosos nas famílias, viabilizando o trabalho mútuo envolvendo profissionais de saúde, familiares e cuidadores. 5) Saúde da população rural ou ribeirinha, que analisa como as desigualdades regionais nas condições de vida e de oferta de serviços de saúde encontram-se mais evidente nas áreas em que vivem famílias rurais e ribeirinhas. Considerações Finais: Os fatores de vulnerabilidade familiar afetam contextos variados como violência doméstica contra mulheres, o abuso de crianças e adolescentes, negligências com idosos e desigualdades sociais, contribuindo no processo de saúde-doença dos sujeitos em seus contextos familiares. Nota-se uma defasagem tanto da literatura quanto das políticas públicas no reconhecimento das especificidades das vulnerabilidades familiares, tornando-se, necessário aprofundar os estudos que relacionam as vulnerabilidades enfrentadas pelas famílias brasileiras nas diversas áreas do conhecimento voltadas à saúde.

A agricultura irrigada é atualmente um dos setores que mais demandam a utilização de grandes quantidades de água. A irrigação é uma técnica de engenharia agrícola muito utilizada por produtores rurais, a fim de suprir as necessidades hídricas estabelecida por cada cultura durante o seu ciclo de desenvolvimento. Desse modo, o conhecimento acerca da quantidade de água requerida pelas culturas, constitui-se um aspecto importante na agricultura irrigada, possibilitando uma adequada programação do manejo de irrigação, visando principalmente, maximizar a eficiência do uso da água, além de manter favoráveis as condições de umidade do solo e de fitossanidade das plantas, possibilitando a diminuição no consumo de energia elétrica imposta pelo sistema de irrigação. O estudo foi desenvolvido em uma comunidade de olericultores localizada no Centro de Difusões Tecnológicas de Imperatriz (CDT). Com base nessas premissas, o objetivo desse trabalho foi utilizar e difundir um sensor de umidade do solo, de baixo custo, desenvolvido pela Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária – EMBRAPA. Se trata de um sensor de tensão de água, denominado irrigas, que visa monitorar a umidade do solo, auxiliando os produtores na tomada de decisão de quando e quanto irrigar. É um equipamento simples e bastante acessível, constituído de três partes: uma cápsula porosa que fica enterrada no solo próximo a região das raízes, uma cuba de leitura que com o auxílio de um copo de água permite determinar se há ou não umidade no solo, e um tubo flexível que liga a cuba de leitura à cápsula. O sensor foi instalado em uma área cultivada com a cultura da couve (Brassica oleracea var. acephala). Com base nas condições em que a pesquisa foi realizada, foi possível concluir que o uso do sensor irrigas para o manejo de irrigação é uma ferramenta de baixo custo, fácil construção, calibração e instalação podendo ser utilizada para evitar desperdícios de água na agricultura irrigada, pois, se bem instalado, contribui para melhorar a produtividade, qualidade dos produtos e economia de água, energia elétrica e mão de obra.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: In the recent business context, the pivotal drivers of organizational success are increasingly identified as transformational leadership and social entrepreneurship. These dynamic forces have emerged as crucial predictors, shaping the trajectory of enterprise performance. The present study proposed to explore the role of transformational leadership and social entrepreneurship in achieving enterprise performance through creativity among employees of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Egypt.

Design/Methodology/ Approach: We applied quantitative methods to detect this problem by collecting data from the employees of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in Egypt. Finally, we utilized 294 samples to get the results.

Findings: Applying the analysis of moment structures (AMOS) version 26.0, the results show a positive and significant impact of transformational leadership, social entrepreneurship and creativity on enterprise performance. The mediating path leads to a positive mediating impact of creativity in developing the connection between transformational leadership and enterprise performance. On the other hand, creativity did not mediate the relationship between social entrepreneurship and enterprise performance.

Research, practical and social implications: The research outcomes serve as a strategic compass for policymakers and planners, offering actionable insights to elevate enterprise performance through the strategic integration of transformational leadership and social entrepreneurship. Furthermore, the study provides valuable guidance for organizations aspiring to cultivate a culture of innovation and creativity, fostering the essential elements for sustained success in today's dynamic business environment.

Originality/ value: This study addresses the gaps in the empirical evaluation of enterprise performance through transformational leadership, social entrepreneurship and creativity among Egyptian employees of Egyptian SMEs.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study aimed at empirically exploring how the expenditure of public health and the effectiveness of government impacted the productivity of labour in West Africa.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used data from 1980 to 2022 generated by the World Bank and adopted multiple regression, mediation and correlation analysis. Additionally, the co-integration test of Johansen and the residual-based test using the Engel-Granger approach were used.
Findings: Expenditures on the health of the public and the effectiveness of government indicated some positive but insignificant impacts on labour productivity in the short run. At the same time, the expenditure on public health indicated a long-term, significant and adverse impact on labour productivity in Nigeria, Togo, Guinea, Senegal and Mali.
Conclusion: The present study explored how expenditure on public health and the effectiveness of the government impacted the productivity of labour in West Africa. Apparently, the level of public health expenditure and government effectiveness are yet to positively impact the productivity of labour.
Practical Implications: These results presented the critical role of public health expenditure and government effectiveness in enhancing the productivity of labour. Therefore, the study suggests that the government invest significantly in healthcare services in order to promote and safeguard the health of the people.
Contribution to the Literature: This study offers an innovative perspective on labour productivity by highlighting the crucial roles played by governments in public health investment for productivity.

Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the events supposedly attributable to vaccination or immunization (ESAVI) after the administration of vaccines against COVID-19 in the population of Tacna, Peru.
Design/Methodology/Approach: An observational, descriptive and transversal design was used with a sample of 383 residents who received three doses of the Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Sinopharm vaccines. Data collection was carried out through surveys using a questionnaire validated by experts and evaluating reliability using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Statistical analysis was carried out with SPSS version 26 software.
Findings: The findings revealed that the majority of participants were women between the ages of 18 and 32. The most common ESAVI related to local reactions was injection site pain with rates of 63.4%, 60.6% and 45.20% for the first, second and third doses, respectively. In terms of systemic effects, transient fever predominated in the first two doses (7.8% and 5.7%) while headache predominated in the third dose (8.90%). These adverse effects manifested mainly on the first day after vaccination and lasted 24 to 48 hours.
Conclusion: The most common local symptom was pain among the systemic symptoms.
Practical Implications: This study contributes by providing valuable information on the safety and side effects of COVID-19 vaccines in a specific population. These results may be useful to inform public health policies and give people a clearer understanding of what to expect after being vaccinated.
Contribution to the Literature: This study in residents of Tacna, Peru characterizes the effects of COVID-19 vaccines reporting on common local and systemic reactions that may be relevant for future research and public health decisions related to vaccination.
Analysis of the correlation between operational performance and profitability over time in public hospitals
Authors: Ahmad Syed Raziuddin , Khan Imran Ahmad 
Published: December 2023

Purpose The public hospitals are not-for-profit entities, and their purpose is not to generate and distribute profits as a result of business activities. Therefore, in the context of hospital management, where many hospitals are running into losses and improving profitability has become a major issue, it is necessary to study the relationship between operational performance and profitability.
Design/Methodology/Approach: In this study, targeting public hospitals, an empirical study was attempted on the correlation between operational performance and profitability. The 303 hospitals were analyzed for the financial years 2022 and 2023. To confirm the validity of the results for the entire group of public hospitals (population), including hospitals other than those subject to this analysis, an uncorrelated test was conducted.
Findings: As a result, there was a positive correlation between the volume of surgeries performed and profitability. On the other hand, the shortening of the average length of hospital stay did not lead to an improvement in profitability. Profitability improved as the number of inpatients per physician increased, but there was no correlation between the number of outpatients per physician and profitability.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest the importance of index correction.
Le FLSCO en quête d’une juste place à l’école
Authors: Wauters Nicole 
Published: December 2023

Face aux taux d’échecs inquiétants des élèves en Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, l’obligation de résultat a pointé l’urgence d’une meilleure maitrise du français et en particulier du français comme langue de scolarisation. Étant donné l’hétérogénéité linguistique, socioéconomique et culturelle des classes, particulièrement dans les écoles bruxelloises, la tentation est forte de confier la remédiation langagière des apprenants vulnérables à des spécialistes en dehors de la classe. S’appuyant sur une définition du FLSCO, l’article défend au contraire une vision intégrée de cet apprentissage fondamental : ce sont les enseignants des matières disciplinaires qui sont les mieux à même d’enseigner à leurs élèves les langages nécessaires à la réussite de leur parcours scolaire. Cette approche suppose pour chaque enseignant un rapport particulier à la langue dans laquelle il enseigne.
Le cinéma, moyen d’apprentissage
Authors: Kabre Victor 
Published: December 2023

Puissant support médiatique, le film peut servir à la formation des locuteurs français en raison de sa capacité à articuler dans son message, ce qui est visuelle et audible. Mais comment concrètement le cinéma peut-il participer à l’apprentissage du français ? Il faut dire que de nombreux pays francophones à l’instar du Burkina Faso, de la Côte d’Ivoire, du Maroc disposent d’une grande production cinématographique nationale peu ou pas encore exploitée dans les curricula. Il convient donc à partir d’un corpus filmique par la présente intervention de définir l’objet cinéma dans sa capacité à servir de medium entre l’enseignant et le public. En ces termes, l’analyse des films peut permettre d’atteindre des compétences d’ordre communicatif relatif à la constitution d’un vocabulaire propre à une réalité, de construire la sémantique des mots en contexte, de saisir la matérialisation des mots à l’écran, de procéder à la connaissance des figures de styles par le biais des mentions écrites ou encore de la voix originale. Aussi, tout comme un roman, l’objet film peut servir à appréhender le lexique de la composition du récit de langue française. Par-dessus tout, le support film n’enseigne pas seulement la communication langagière mais implique la francophonie linguistique à partir de l’utilisation des films qui ne sont pas de notre univers culturel.
Alternance entre apprentissages en classe et hors classe pour des élèves de FLE en Grèce en 2022. Effets observés par deux enseignants utilisant le matériel didactique « Victor Hugo, un homme, une histoire »
Authors: Baroutsaki-Tsirigoti Sophie 
Published: December 2023

La mise en place d’une formation hybride dans le domaine de l’enseignement du FLE requiert une réflexion approfondie et une réorganisation des méthodes pédagogiques existantes. Ce processus implique une remise en question des pratiques traditionnelles, une préparation minutieuse des enseignants et une planification rigoureuse des activités pédagogiques à mettre en œuvre avant le début de la formation. Dans le cadre de cet article, les réactions de deux enseignants de FLE grecs ainsi que les impressions des vingt-quatre apprenants sont examinées suite à la mise en pratique du dispositif de formation hybride intitulé « Victor Hugo, un homme, une histoire » en classe de FLE de l’école de langue française et de culture ABC-Lesbos en Grèce, au niveau B2 accompli et vers C1 du CECRL sur une longue période (janvier-mars 2022). L’objectif est de bien cerner l’idée d’un renouvellement des pratiques en classe de FLE en présence et à distance, en classe et hors de la classe, insistant sur la complémentarité de la langue, de la littérature, des outils numériques et sur l’enrichissement de l’apprentissage de la langue par la culture.
Le rapport à l’art des industriels alsaciens et suisses au XIXe siècle
Authors: Modanese Cécile 
Published: December 2023

Les industriels alsaciens et suisses ont permis un essor économique sans précédent au XIXe siècle. Ce patronat essentiellement protestant, est alors décrit comme un groupe austère, travailleur et économe. Son rapport à l’art, méconnu, est révélateur d’une conception de son rôle dans la société. Ils pratiquent eux-mêmes les arts, parfois à haut niveau, bénéficiant d’une formation dans le milieu familial et de cours auprès de professionnels. Par ailleurs, ils encouragent les arts à la fois par une incitation à la pratique ouvrière dans des sociétés de musique, par l’accueil d’artistes, ou simplement par des commandes. Enfin, prenant conscience de la valeur patrimoniale de lieux et d’objets, ils s’investissent dans la création de musées et l’entretien du patrimoine médiéval afin, d’une part, d’éduquer au goût, et d’autre part, de le transmettre aux générations futures. Les élites du XIXe siècle jouent alors le rôle de mécènes à titre personnel.
Les sources de la coopération transfrontalière : l’exemple de l’agglomération de Bâle à travers les fonds de Saint-Louis Agglomération
Authors: Bourgeois David 
Published: December 2023

La position de l’agglomération bâloise est en elle-même une particularité née de la géographie et de l’histoire. Héritière d’une histoire pluriséculaire qui l’a placée au centre des échanges européens, Bâle a mis en œuvre les mesures lui permettant d’amoindrir les contraintes liées aux frontières qui l’enserrent. Mieux, elle a su en faire un atout. Profitant d’une économie en constante mutation depuis la fin de l’époque médiévale, la ville rhénane a dès cette époque constitué un pôle d’attraction régional fort. Le dynamisme du continent après la Seconde Guerre Mondiale et la construction européenne ne l’ont pas isolée, bien au contraire. Le dialogue porté par les édiles fédérales et locales a permis de nouer des coopérations avec ses voisines immédiates, la France et l’Allemagne. Son rayonnement n’a fait qu’augmenter à mesure que se développaient et se diversifiaient les secteurs industriels alors que le secteur bancaire se structurait au point de faire de cette ville l’une des places fortes de la finance continentale[1]. Pour poursuivre son développement, la coopération transfrontalière revêtait pour Bâle une importance stratégique. Deux axes majeurs constituent encore aujourd’hui les leviers de son développement : les transports aussi bien pour traverser la ville que pour assurer la pendularité essentielle à son économie et l’urbanisme, coordonné, pour lui permettre une croissance démographique, culturelle et économique, garante de son attractivité dans le concert des métropoles du continent. Le bassin de vie de Bâle, conséquent démographiquement, regroupe près d’un million d’habitants. [1] Voir entre autres Heinz Polivka, Basel und seine Wirtschaft.

New Technologies in Ultrasonic and Pneumatic Lithotripsy
Authors: Kypraios Charalambos , Xoxakos Ioannis , Ntonta Ntiela , Efthimiou Ioannis 
Published: December 2023

Background: Ultrasonic and pneumatic lithotripters are the gold standard for percutaneous nephrolithotripsy. The goal of this chapter is to help the reader become more familiar with the newer lithotripters and to critically select the best available lithotripsy device for each situation. Methods: A literature search was performed to identify all types of older and newer generation ultrasonic and ballistic lithotripters. Physics, characteristics, efficacy, and safety are discussed. Results: Newer dual lithotripters are more effective and allow disruption of stones both in the laboratory and clinical trials. CyberWandTM and Lithoclast Select lithotripters have similar stone disintegration rates in percutaneous nephrolithotripsy for stones >2 cm. UrerTron has a very rapid stone clearance rate, especially for hard stones, with no difference in stone clearance rates or need for secondary procedures. Lithoclast® Trilogy demonstrated superior stone clearance time compared to ShockPulse™ and Swiss Lithoclast® Select (Master) with high stone volume clearance rates in both standard and mini PCNL with a mean stone-free rate of 83%. However, more recent data have shown that neither lithotripsy device offers a clinically meaningful advantage over older generation devices. Conclusion: All the new lithotripsy devices have an excellent safety profile. They do not appear to be any more effective than the older generation devices. The advantages, disadvantages, and costs of each type of intracorporeal lithotripter must be considered when choosing a treatment modality for a particular case.
