Navigating Decision-Making Frontiers: Virtual Reality and Spatial Skills in Strategic Planning.

Navigating topographic charts involves nuanced skills and real-world correspondence, influenced by individual learning styles. Traditionally, 2D and 3D representations bridge map-reality gaps, but sandboxes often introduce manual errors and reliance on personal interpretation. This paper examines VR's potential in military planning, focusing on terrain interpretation, data visualization, and scale transitions.

Introducing the "urine biochemical approach": an alternative tool for improving acute kidney injury monitoring in critically ill patients.

Urine electrolytes and indices assessment as a tool for acute kidney injury (AKI) pathophysiological understanding and management is, until these days, a matter of debate. The classic division of AKI in "pre-renal" (functional/transient) and "renal" (structural/persistent) based on the urinary concentration of sodium and the fractional excretions of sodium and urea has gained popularity for decades and is still present in medical textbooks. Nevertheless, the conclusions of the studies that have used these parameters are very heterogenous and controversial.

Research on neglected tropical diseases in Haiti: a scientometrics analysis, 1923-2022.

This study aimed to analyze scientometric profile of publications on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in Haiti, 1923-2022. We conducted a scientometric study based on indexed scientific productions related to NTDs in Haiti. The search syntax in the Scopus database was based on key terms for NTDs recognized by the World Health Organization in 2022, focusing on keywords, titles, and abstracts.

Mathematics Self-Efficacy of Brazilian High School Students: A Mixed-Methods Approach Study.

This study examines the mathematics self-efficacy of 833 high school students from four Brazilian public schools. Using an exploratory cross-sectional design with a mixed-methods approach, students completed online instruments including a sociodemographic questionnaire, scales measuring various self-efficacy domains (mathematics, self-regulated learning, social and emotional) and open-ended questions about their perceived attributes in learning mathematics. Multiple regression analysis revealed that student characteristics and self-efficacy domains collectively explained 47.

Evaluating 36 years of fishing sustainability in a large reservoir.

Various fishing activities are common economic practices in large hydroelectric reservoirs, such as Itaipu. Consequently, the Itaipu company has monitored artisanal commercial fishing since the formation of its reservoir. In this study, we used long-term monitoring data to evaluate the sustainability of this fishing activity in the Itaipu Reservoir, one of the largest reservoirs in the Neotropical region.
