Abstract Introduction: Pre-tenure early career researchers within academic settings play an important role as catalysts for new research and methodological innovations. However, the tenure-track process can be a high-pressure experience for such faculty. Examining organic collaborations amongst new pre-tenured faculty can afford opportunities for internal capacity building. However, literature is lacking in the benefits of developing such partnerships among novice faculty members with other novice faculty members. Research Objectives: This study aimed to examine the research programs of three novice tenure-track nursing faculty members and the connections between such programs for current and future collaborations, advancement of the nursing profession and scholarship, and personal-professional growth. Methodology: Narrative Inquiry with a specific focus on self-study was utilized with participants who identify as tenure-track nursing faculty members and are also the three investigators on this study. Each participant underwent a self-reflection process directed by a question guide informed by the literature and theoretical lens of Creamer (2003), and an aspect of the Narrative Reflective Process. Participants reflections were analyzed against each other and with relevant literature for co-construction to occur, moving participants’ experiences from being an individual activity to one that can have social significance for others with diverse programs of research. Results: The study explored common narrative threads that emerged from the faculty members’ reflections: stakeholder collaboration and involvement; nursing policy, practice, and research leadership. Final Considerations: This study has demonstrated potential areas for future collaborations between novice faculty members leading to benefits for the nursing profession, nursing research and personal career growth.

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the role of nurses in hospital management in the face of COVID-19. The study had a qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory approach. The setting was a hospital that was completely transformed to care for patients with COVID-19. At the time of data collection, ten nurses managed the services, and all participated in the semi-structured interview. After thematic analysis, the data were presented in three categories, representing the elements of Donabedian’s triad: structure, process, and result. Category 1 highlighted the hospital structure reconfiguration based on material and people management; category 2 addressed the work process restructuring to achieve goals with safety and quality; and category 3 focused on nurses’ experiences in describing the results achieved and expected. The analysis highlighted the importance of teamwork, involvement, and adaptation of managers in the face of the challenges of a new and life-threatening disease, scarce resources, and the complexity of human relationships in the crisis. In transformational leadership, these nurses encouraged behavior change, professional growth, and resilience. COVID19.

ABSTRACT At present, it is observed that individuals significantly increase the value of their assets, in many cases, such increases have no justification, so they omit the payment of their taxes, generating a low tax collection in the country. The objective of this research work was to analyze the criteria that allow the detection of the unjustified increase in wealth of Peruvian individuals. The methodology applied was qualitative, phenomenological design, with a non-probabilistic sampling based on the professional experiences of three experts in tax matters. The result was that the tax administration applies certain criteria, classified under the following headings: financial system, social, informality, auditing and digitalization. The most important criteria during the COVID 19 pandemic were e-commerce and social networks, used to generate income and evade taxes. It is concluded that natural persons incur in unjustified asset growth, due to lack of knowledge, because they do not wish to formalize or because they do not have a technical accounting team to guide them in the aforementioned criteria. It is suggested that the tax administration should supervise the new criteria related to digitalization in order to reduce unjustified capital gains in Peru.

RESUMEN En la actualidad, se observa que las personas naturales incrementan significativamente el valor de su patrimonio, en muchos casos, dichos incrementos no tienen justificación alguna, por lo que omiten el pago de sus tributos, generando en el país una baja recaudación. El presente trabajo investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar los criterios que permiten la detección del incremento patrimonial no justificado en las personas naturales del Perú. La metodología aplicada fue de tipo cualitativo, diseño fenomenológico, tiene un muestreo no probabilístico basándose en las experiencias profesionales de tres expertos en materia tributaria. Obteniendo como resultado que la administración tributaria aplica ciertos criterios, clasificados en los siguientes rubros: sistema financiero, social, informalidad, fiscalización y digitalización. Siendo los criterios más resaltantes durante la pandemia COVID 19 el comercio electrónico y redes sociales, utilizados para generar ingresos y evadir impuestos. Se concluye que las personas naturales incurren en incremento patrimonial injustificado, por desconocimiento, porque no desean formalizarse o porque no cuentan con un equipo técnico contable que les oriente en los criterios antes mencionados. Se sugiere que la administración tributaria, deba fiscalizar a los nuevos criterios relacionados con la digitalización, para reducir el incremento patrimonial no justificado en el Perú.

Conflict is an integral part of school management and its existence must not be shunned as it stimulates creative and innovative ways of thinking which enhance organisational growth and performance. The purpose of the study reported on here was to investigate how education managers executed Thomas and Kilmann's model in managing and resolving conflicts in schools to avert chaos and anarchy with the ultimate intention of enhancing productivity. A constructivist, inductive grounded theory utilising a qualitative approach was employed. Qualitative data were generated using a semi-structured interview protocol from 4 information-rich education managers who were purposively selected. The inclusion criteria for the participants were age, experience, professional qualifications and the sample was determined by theoretical saturation. Data generated were thematically analysed. The study revealed that the conflict management and resolution model used by education managers in schools was contingent to their environment and perception. It also revealed that conflict was innovative and stimulated thought processes. As a result, schools must recruit education managers who are transformative, democratic and equipped with the appropriate strategies for managing and resolving conflict if teachers' morale is to be boosted and productivity enhanced.

Abstract The objective of the article is to carry out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Networks for Sustainable Development Program (Programa ReDes), which arose from a Joint Action Plan between BNDES and the Votorantim Institute with the objective of supporting projects to structure productive activities and professional qualification aiming at the productive inclusion of low-income populations. The database used for the evaluation comes from the Cadastro Único (CadÚnico), obtained from the Ministry of Citizenship. We used the propensity score matching method and the estimation of panel and difference regressions. For indicators related to the labor market, robust and expressive results were observed, such as the growth in gross income and income from work. In addition, there was an increase in the probability of participation in the economically active population, as well as access to work. Based on the calculations performed, it was possible to estimate that the ReDes Program is cost-effective in terms of generating income for the beneficiary, even though its cost-effectiveness is dependent on the hypothesis that the projects are capable of surviving over time.

The experiences of mentors, tutors, and writing consultants in the execution of their roles during unprecedented times, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic, remain insufficiently explored and inadequately documented. This article, which adopts a qualitative research methodology with a specific focus on a rural-based comprehensive university in South Africa, delves into the experiences and reflections of mentors, tutors, and writing consultants in the course of their duties during the COVID-19 pandemic. We contend that providing safe spaces for mentors, tutors and writing practitioners to share their experiences on their roles not only during the pandemic should be central to all student support initiatives. This fosters a sense of reflection on their practices which in turn results in professional growth and development as reflective practitioners capable of enhancing student success in higher education. In assessing their work, data was gathered from a population comprising seventy-two selected mentors and tutors (referred to as MenTuts), as well as writing consultants affiliated with the Academic Development Unit (ADU) of the institution. Content and thematic analysis were employed to examine the data after coding. The reflections and experiences of MenTuts and writing consultants were both positive and negative. They expressed enthusiasm for their roles during the COVID-19 pandemic but also conveyed feelings of being overwhelmed by the challenges they faced. This underscores the need for exploring alternative approaches to mentoring, tutoring, and writing consultancy to enhance effective student learning and success in higher education during both present and future unprecedented times. Given the plethora of recent unprecedented events, higher education institutions in South Africa as well as in Africa should start undertaking innovative radical approaches for student support initiatives that are centred around engaging with mentors, tutors, and writing consultants to ensure that they are able to reflect on their experiences to enhance student learning.

Abstract Objectives Narrative review evaluating the use of dietary supplements by children and adolescents. Data source The terms “dietary supplements”, “children” and “adolescents” were used in combination in the PubMed, MEDLINE, and SciELO databases, between 2000 and 2023, evaluating studies in humans, published in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. Data synthesis The use of dietary supplements by children and adolescents has increased in recent decades. The most commonly used supplements are vitamins, minerals, trace elements, proteins, amino acids, melatonin, fatty acids, probiotics and energy drinks. Conclusion Despite having specific indications, most of the time they are not prescribed by a healthcare professional. The reasons for use are varied. In children, the main reasons are protection against infections, stimulating growth, and poor food intake, with multivitamins and minerals being the most commonly used supplements. In adolescents, they are used to improve athletic performance and attain the “ideal body”, with proteins and amino acids being the most often used nutrients. As they are not regulated by health agencies and are sold without a prescription, their unsupervised use can lead to inadequate doses, with inefficiency or overdose risk. As for compounding formulations, or when available in preparations with multiple nutrients, the chance of errors increases. It is essential that pediatricians advise parents and patients about the indications, risks and benefits, prescribing them when necessary. supplements, , supplements” “children “adolescents PubMed MEDLINE databases 200 2023 humans Portuguese English Spanish decades vitamins elements melatonin drinks indications professional varied infections growth intake ideal body, body body” nutrients prescription doses risk formulations increases benefits necessary 20 202 2

■ ABSTRACT Introduction: The aesthetic procedure market is growing exponentially in Brazil. This growth has aroused the interest of several professional categories. The decision to practice in the sector must consider the market opportunities in the location in which you intend to operate. However, the area lacks comparative analyses documenting probable regional differences in the country. The objective of the study is to describe market differences in aesthetic procedures between Brazilian states and regions. An index of potential cosmetic consumption (IPCC) is calculated for such a comparative analysis. Method: Cross-sectional study involving providers of nonsurgical aesthetic procedures in Brazil. Searches on Google Maps® were conducted using key terms, and telephone interviews were conducted to obtain information on professional categories, types of providers, and services offered. Positive predictive values were obtained for all search strategies and used to estimate the total number of providers. Population size and per capita income were considered to calculate the IPCCs for Brazilian states. Results: São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro presented the highest IPCCs, being 524, 210, and 180, respectively. Roraima had an IPCC of 14, the lowest in the country. The Southeast Region presented, on average, the highest IPCC (242) among all Brazilian regions. Conclusion: Considering population size and income, the Southeast Region presents the greatest market opportunities for nonsurgical aesthetic procedures in Brazil. Our findings may be of interest to healthcare professionals and investors who work or intend to work in the sector.

Resumen Los valores laborales representan lo que los individuos consideran importante en el entorno de trabajo, sus motivaciones, comportamientos y actitudes. La investigación sobre este tema llega a diferentes grupos de trabajadores, incluidos los de la economía creativa, cuyos productos y servicios reflejan la creatividad, el talento y la cultura local. En este escenario, el sector de la cosmética natural artesanal, específicamente la jabonería, propone una producción guiada por la sostenibilidad social, medioambiental y económica. Así, este artículo pretende analizar cómo se manifiestan los valores del trabajo entre las emprendedoras del sector de la cosmética natural artesanal. El locus es Fortaleza, capital del estado de Ceará - Brasil, que en 2019 fue reconocida por la Unesco como Ciudad Creativa. Se utilizó una adaptación cualitativa de la Escala Revisada de Valores Relativos al Trabajo (EVT-R) y entrevistas semiestructuradas para recopilar datos de artesanas de cosméticos naturales. Para la observación de los datos se aplicó el análisis de contenido utilizando el programa Atlas.ti. Los resultados muestran que realización profesional y relaciones sociales son los valores más presentes, especialmente tener un trabajo creativo y colaborar al desarrollo de la sociedad. Se demostró la existencia de una red colaborativa de mujeres y se encontró que la falta de regulación específica es el principal obstáculo para el crecimiento de las artesanas. Asimismo, surgieron significados diferentes de los aportados por la teoría para los valores estabilidad y realización, señalando otras configuraciones para actividades que no se insertan en modelos económicos hegemónicos, como la actividad artesanal. motivaciones actitudes trabajadores creativa creatividad local escenario artesanal jabonería social económica Así Fortaleza Brasil 201 Creativa EVTR EVT R (EVT-R naturales Atlasti Atlas ti Atlas.ti presentes sociedad Asimismo hegemónicos 20 2

Abstract Work values represent what individuals consider important in the work environment, such as motivation, behaviors, and attitudes. Research on this topic reaches different groups of workers, including those in the creative economy, whose products and services reflect creativity, talent, and local culture. In this scenario, the artisanal natural cosmetics sector, specifically soapmaking, proposes a production guided by social, environmental, and economic sustainability. Thus, this work aims to analyze how work values manifest among female entrepreneurs in the artisanal natural cosmetics sector. The locus is the Brazilian city Fortaleza, which, in 2019, was recognized by Unesco as a Creative City. Data was collected through interviews based on a qualitative adaptation of the Revised Work Values Scale. Content analysis was conducted using Atlas.ti software. The results show that professional fulfillment and social relations are the most present values, especially in terms of creative work and collaboration for the development of society. The existence of a collaborative network was demonstrated, and the lack of specific regulation was found to be the main obstacle to growth. In addition, different meanings emerged from those brought by the theory for the values of stability and fulfillment, pointing to other configurations for activities not inserted in hegemonic economic models. environment motivation behaviors attitudes workers economy creativity talent culture scenario sector soapmaking environmental sustainability Thus Fortaleza which 2019 City Scale Atlasti Atlas ti software society demonstrated growth addition models 201 20 2

Resumo Valores do trabalho representam o que os indivíduos consideram importante no ambiente laboral, suas motivações, seus comportamentos e suas atitudes. Pesquisas sobre esse tema alcançam diversos grupos, inclusive os de economia criativa, cujos produtos e serviços refletem criatividade, talento e cultura local. Nesse cenário, o setor de cosmética natural artesanal, especificamente a saboaria, propõe uma produção pautada pela sustentabilidade social, ambiental e econômica. Assim, este artigo busca analisar como os valores do trabalho se manifestam entre as artesãs-empreendedoras do setor de cosmética natural. O lócus é Fortaleza, capital do Ceará, chancelada em 2019 como cidade criativa pela Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, a Ciência e a Cultura (Unesco). Na coleta de dados, foram realizadas entrevistas baseadas numa adaptação qualitativa da Escala Revisada de Valores Relativos ao Trabalho (EVT-R). O processo se deu por meio de análise de conteúdo, com auxílio do Atlas.ti. Os resultados mostram que valores de “realização profissional” e de “relações sociais” são os temas mais mencionados, em especialmente ter um trabalho criativo e colaborar para o desenvolvimento da sociedade. Evidenciou-se uma rede colaborativa e revelou-se que a inexistência de regulamentação específica é a principal barreira para o crescimento do trabalho. Ademais, emergiram sentidos diversos daqueles trazidos pela teoria para os valores de estabilidade e de realização, apontando outras configurações para atividades não inseridas em modelos econômicos hegemônicos. laboral motivações atitudes grupos criatividade local cenário artesanal saboaria social econômica Assim artesãsempreendedoras artesãs empreendedoras Fortaleza Ceará 201 Educação Unesco.
