All human beings have the right to life; however, when it comes to the unborn child or nasciturus, the controversy about whether it is the subject of this right is heightened, especially when the debate takes place in the preamble of the discussion of laws that approve or criminalize abortion. Consequently, the present study aims to analyze the positions of different authors in relation to the right to life of the unborn child from the analysis of human rights. In order to fulfill this purpose, a theoretical research was carried out, based on the review of scientific articles and documents related to the subject, and the use of inductive, analytical and synthetic methods. As a result, it was determined that the condition of the nasciturus as a person cannot be denied, therefore, its right to life must be guaranteed from conception according to the contents of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

This article is developed in order to verify and analyze the contexts and paradigms immersed in higher education processes in order to mobilize creative cognitive processes in teachers through the application and development of an orientation guide that favors their training contexts, accounting for the impact of these issues immersed in contemporary studies, which in turn perceive shortcomings focused on the development of creative cognitive processes. Several sources were examined from databases, magazines and complementary texts, which focused this exercise of teacher training in creativity, allowing to see it as a tool that allows the human being to develop skills and that these are applied in order to contribute to society and the citizen of the future.

Bloodstain forensic techniques rely on the ability to examine a crime scene and collect physical evidence to enable analysis. Often, investigators use ultraviolet and infrared lights to detect subtle bloodstains that are not visible to the naked eye. Once identified, these bloodstains are collected for further analysis. Bloodstain analysis involves comparing the patterns of the bloodstain to other patterns at the crime scene. Thus, an updated systematic review of techniques and methods employed in the analysis of blood macules at crime scenes was conducted. Ten studies were identified between 2020 and 2022, corresponding to publications indexed in the Scopus and Scielo databases and master's theses. It is concluded that the application of different methods related to science such as mathematics, physics, electrochemistry is the proposed way to improve criminalistic techniques.

Serial killers fascinate people and books, films, TV series and other types of entertainment increasingly cater to this interest providing sensationalized media coverage. The theory suggests that the boundaries are blurred considerably between fact and fiction, even for the serial killers themselves. For many people, serial killers are both frightening and attractive enough to motivate them to go on tours and visit sites, museums and other attractions that are associated with them. This paper explores the motivation for consuming true and fictional crime including murders and serial killing with an emphasis on literature, films, TV series as well as tourism. A content analysis of the websites of walking tours, museums and other attractions connected to fictional and real serial killers was undertaken, as well as a questionnaire with a niche sample of respondents who commented on their experience and perceptions of serial killers within a dark tourism context. The results suggest that while tourists tend to prefer real serial killers to fictional ones, only a small number of tourists actually engage in this form of dark tourism. Their motivations tend to be more connected to education or entertainment rather than a morbid obsession with death or tragedy.

This study explores the historical and architectural heritage of Wukro Medhane Alem, a least-known monolithic rock-hewn church in South Gondar. Primary and secondary sources of the study were collected through fieldwork, interviews, and literature review. The study shows that it is one of the medieval churches traditionally attributed to King Lalibela (r. 1181-1221). The hypogeum has a rectangular plan being deeply excavated out of bedrock. There is a built-up feature added over the roof's edge of the rock-hewn church. It imitates a Gondarine architectural tradition, implying the transition from the earlier rock-hewn tradition to the building architectural orientation of the Gondarine period (1636-1769). Its hypogeum reflects an Aksumite and medieval architectural tradition. Internally, the basilica is partitioned into kine mahilet (chanting), kiddist (holy) and mekides or kiddiste kiddusan (sanctuary) rooms through the arranged rock-hewn pillars, which are refined with arches, capitals, and entablatures that create the ceiling of the roof which is also decorated with engraved cruciform, geometrical, quadrifoliate, and crown-like protruding features. The kiddiste kiddusan has six sub-sanctuaries with doubled circular domed roofs and rectangular altars cut from the main rock. The hypogeum, thus, has such potential values to be promoted as an alternative tourist site in historic Gondar, which is mainly known to tourists for its built palaces.

By combining an interpretive reading of the spaces, a study of DMOs marketing strategies and TripAdvisor ratings, this research aims to understand the role of literary constructions, symbols, and discourses in the development, positioning, and management of a dark literary site. Three specific places will be highlighted in relation to the biography of the legend of King Pedro I and Inês de Castro, the "skeleton queen", assessing how these heritage sites exploit the legend for place branding, attracting visitors and creating a strong identity. In addition, this article aims to evaluate how and to what extent three heritage sites—Santa Clara a Velha's Church, Quinta da Lágrimas in Coimbra, and Alcobaça Monastery—associate themselves with the legend of Pedro and Inês, in order to increase their attractiveness, concluding that all the literary resonances of these locations can be traced to Luís Vaz de Camões’ The Lusiads. As for the dark elements, while Quinta das Lágrimas and Alcobaça Monastery combine literary with a macabre appeal, notably Alcobaça, the darkest of the three, Santa a Clara a Velha's Church is primarily of a biographic nature. Additionally, the macabre use of the space in this case appears to overpower the literary associations.

The appearance of smart models for tourism management has contributed towards a more efficient administration of tourism products. However, museums are institutions that have not been explored from this angle and possess great potential for their application. This research aims to put forward a proposal of a Smart Model for museum management and define the main characteristics of a Smart Museum. Although plenty of museums are adapting their facilities and experiences through a digital transformation, there are scarcely any that adopt the Smart designation for their description, nor base their operation on existing literature on smart management. A focus group with experts in museology, smart management and heritage innovation allowed to identify the main components for smart management to take place in a museum setting. Furthermore, the data were coded, organised and analysed thematically focusing on the principal elements discussed in the group meeting. The absence of a clear definition for a smart museum was detected. Nonetheless, the contributions from the focus group, together with the findings from the literature review on existing smart models provided the necessary concepts to establish a definition and build an application model adapted to museums.

The blending of dark tourism and literary tourism has created a sub-niche as dark literary tourism. It offers dissimilar experiences as it incorporates distinctive motivations from literary tourism and dark tourism. This study aims to provide a better understanding of dark literary tourism motivations and experiences by offering a perspective on the concept of dark literary tourism. For that purpose, the work Journey to the End of Life by Turkish author Tezer Özlü, in which she traced three authors, Franz Kafka, Italo Svevo, and Cesare Pavese, was selected. The work was subjected to qualitative textual analysis. As a result of the analysis, the data obtained on the concept of dark literary tourism were interpreted under three headings. The findings of the study show that dark literary tourists have both dark tourist and literary pilgrim motivations, travelling for motivations such as paying homage to authors and the past, understanding their feelings by establishing closeness and connection with the authors, empathizing with their suffering, acquiring the smallest details about their lives, and experiencing their daily lives. The most crucial finding of the study is that the dark literary tourism experience allows tourists an inner journey and provides awareness about their lives.

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the oral condition in post-leprosy women discharged from leprosy in the city of Rio Largo - AL, who were diagnosed from 2007 to 2017 Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study carried out in a group of women who had post-discharge from leprosy treatment in the period from 2007 to 2017. Initially, in January 2019, a survey was carried out in the Epidemiology and Surveillance sector of the Municipal Department to identify and nominal list of post-discharge leprosy women. Data collection took place in the second half of 2019 in basic units of the municipality, including extra and intraoral examinations in order to observe changes in the face, nasal spine, maxilla, mandible, in addition to evaluation of the dentition, use of prosthesis, mucosa, tongue. Results: 14 women participated in the research, there were reports of lack of guidance to seek dental services. Among the intraoral lesions identified, some highlights were the percentage of hyperplasia - with or without denture trauma, fissured tongue, pigmentation, geographic tongue, soapy tongue. 50% of the women used removable total or partial dentures, and 50% did not use them. Regarding the evaluation of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMF-D) a high index was found among them, evidence of gingival inflammation and bleeding when brushing was also found. CONCLUSION: Women affected by leprosy had poor oral health conditions, and it is essential to establish means of treatment to reduce the outbreaks of infections predisposing to leprosy reactions as well as to contribute to the diagnosis of the disease. The results also pointed to the need for awareness and articulation for a comprehensive look at these people, in addition to strengthening interdisciplinary work, especially in primary care.
