An ethical review on the search for performance: evidence-based nutrology and the use without indication of anabolic steroids

This study aimed to evaluate what is new in the controversial use of testosterone, as an indication in pathologies such as hypogonadism or its use by athletes and bodybuilders in search of performance. Much is said about the subject and many myths were created without any scientific foundation, one of the objectives of the monograph is to show that when there is a precise clinical indication, testosterone is necessary and extremely beneficial to the patient. It was evaluated in current literature through books and articles, advances in physiology, regulation, treatment of late adult hypogonadism, incidence of use and the most common analogues used by athletes, the harms and benefits expected from the use of the hormone and especially what we have again on cardiovascular safety in testosterone use. After an extensive review, it is still not possible to affirm all the benefits and harms of using the hormone, many old studies are disputed in new studies and even presented results opposite to what was previously believed.

Inspiracje Komeńskiego i o Komeńskim. Szkic o planie kształcenia językowego z wieku XVII i jego znaczeniu dla współczesności

This outline is an attempt to answer the questions concerning the scientific foundation and, above all, the inspiration of modern didactic and pedagogical concepts of John Amos Comenius by works of authors whose pedagogical and philosophical solutions appeared in the first half of the 17th century, especially the legacy of Sebastian Petrycy of Pilsen, in the context of foreign languages specifications and plans for teaching them. Educational, cultural and social contexts, as well as the media revolution of the 17th and 21st centuries, are the starting point for these considerations. Analysis of some excerpts from Sebastian Petrycy's Przydatki, comeniologists', contemporary educators’, scientists’ and a Nobel Prize winner's works are essential in an attempt to formulate answers to these questions. Establishing the extent of inspiration which appeared to be important to Comenius may prove to be significant in the context of studying the significance of this great pedagogue's ideas for the development of science and education.

Pulse Of Amendment Of Article 7 Of The 1945 Constitution During The Covid-19 Pandemic In Indonesia

The issue of the amendment of article 7 of the 1945 Constitution in Indonesia has caused an uproar among the public during the COVID 19 pandemic. Although constitutionally amendments can be made as article 37 of the 1945 Constitution, it needs to be seen from three sections, namely: 1. Changing the constitution with careful consideration, not carelessness and self-awareness; 2. Give people the opportunity to express their views before making changes; 3. Protect the rights of individuals or minorities. The results of several survey institutions in Indonesia amendments to the three-term presidential term some Indonesians refused. The purpose of this study is to provide a scientific foundation on the pulse rate of the 1945 Constitution during the current COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The purpose of this study is to provide a scientific foundation on the pulse rate of the 1945 Constitution during the current COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The study uses normative legal methods, using three methods, namely: legal methods, historical methods, and conceptual methods. The recommendation of this study is to provide advice and input to JokPro groups and government support parties in the discourse of the idea of a three-term president related to article 7 of the 1945 Constitution

IMPLICAÇÃO DE ANÁLISES TRIBOLÓGICAS NA REALIZAÇÃO DA MANUTENÇÃO PREDITIVA

In predictive maintenance, interventions are dependent on information from the monitoring of parameters, their main advantage is the reduction of periodic stops, increasing the time of availability of equipment and decreasing costs. Subjects such as wear, lubrication and surfaces with relative movement are studied by tribology. The purpose of this article was to investigate the relationship between tribology and predictive maintenance. The basis for scientific foundation was bibliographic research in studies by different authors. Thus, it is concluded that tribology has significant relevance in performing predictive maintenance, especially in view of the analysis of lubricating oil and wear of particles. These analyzes and correct implementation were considered, being a fundamental point for companies that seek to increase their competitiveness. However, scarcity was observed in practical case studies, which demonstrates that the relationship between maintenance and tribological factors needs to be studied more deeply.

Scientific Foundation For Implementation Of The Compliance Control System At Corporate Enterprises

The article analyzes the concept of compliance control at corporate enterprises, the views of economists in this area, the principles of compliance control, as well as implementation methods. In addition, the article presents scientifically substantiated conclusions on this issuer.

Echoes of Gravitational Waves

The myth-histories scientists tell tend to be collages of heroes pasted together to evoke an irrefutable scientific foundation of progress. Students consuming these narratives are not introduced to a realistic portrayal of scientific practice; they are fed an idealized form of science based on tropes that are effectively impossible to follow. How does this affect our students? We assume it gives them positive, ideal role models, but is this so? Studies show that students’ motivation is not homogeneous. Some may feel disenfranchised and unmotivated by myth-historical reconstructions of people from circumstances wildly different from their own. Chapter 4 examines one of the clearest examples of this idealization, myth-historical narratives constructed in communicating the discovery of gravitational waves in 2015–16. These narratives cast Albert Einstein as a clear and unambiguous scientific hero. They also engage in an ex post facto transformation of physicist Joseph Weber from scientific pariah to hero.

The persistence of ancient settlements and urban sustainability

We propose a dedicated research effort on the determinants of settlement persistence in the ancient world, with the potential to significantly advance the scientific understanding of urban sustainability today. Settlements (cities, towns, villages) are locations with two key attributes: They frame human interactions and activities in space, and they are where people dwell or live. Sustainability, in this case, focuses on the capacity of structures and functions of a settlement system (geography, demography, institutions) to provide for continuity of safe habitation. The 7,000-y-old experience of urbanism, as revealed by archaeology and history, includes many instances of settlements and settlement systems enduring, adapting to, or generating environmental, institutional, and technological changes. The field of urban sustainability lacks a firm scientific foundation for understanding the long durée, relying instead on narratives of collapse informed by limited case studies. We argue for the development of a new interdisciplinary research effort to establish scientific understanding of settlement and settlement system persistence. Such an effort would build upon the many fields that study human settlements to develop new theories and databases from the extensive documentation of ancient and premodern urban systems. A scientific foundation will generate novel insights to advance the field of urban sustainability.
