The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in non-formal, informal and formal education is an emerging area with great potential to transform the world. However, the capacity of educators, youth workers and teachers to capitalise on this potential remains limited due to a lack of well-defined frameworks for AI integration in practices. The scope of this study is to explore the needs, challenges, and perspectives of youth work professionals regarding AI integration.The research methodology employed mixt research methods. The literature review was followed by four semi-structured focus groups involving 72 youth workers and professionals with diverse backgrounds, nationalities and experience levels. A common guideline was used to ensure consistency, including facilitator instructions, discussion prompts, and reporting templates. The data collected during the focus groups were analysed using a Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS), ATLAS.ti software dedicated to qualitative research. The authors conducted qualitative analysis, through coding, identification of main categories, thematic map for visualization of results, and interpretation of findings to uncover patterns and deeper insights. The results revealed a generally positive attitude toward AI tools and an awareness of their potential benefits in youth work, particularly in content creation. However, participants reported significant challenges regarding the use of AI for administrative tasks efficiency, for personalised learning, ethical concerns, and difficulty in interpretation of data. Cross-country similarities emerged, suggesting a shared need for capacity building and continuous training, while differences highlighted the influence of national contexts and digital infrastructure.This study provides a foundational understanding of the competence needs of youth workers in relation to AI adoption. The findings are relevant for course designers wishing to offer targeted training for youth workers. Future research is also needed into policy-level support mechanisms that can enhance AI literacy and ethical integration across the sector.

Em felinos, as condições cardiovasculares são incluídas entre as dez principais causas de óbito. Dentre elas, a cardiopatia restritiva (CMR) é caracterizada principalmente por uma disfunção diastólica grave e um importante aumento do átrio esquerdo ou bilateral, resultante da pressão de enchimento ventricular continuamente elevada, em decorrência de um aumento da rigidez da parede do ventrículo esquerdo. Atualmente, a principal forma de diagnóstico da condição é a ecocardiografia, entretanto, o diagnóstico da CMR ainda é desafiador considerando as demais cardiomiopatias existentes. O presente relato aborda tópicos de suma importância para a compreensão dessa afecção, ao considerar a frequência com que as condições cardíacas acometem felinos domésticos, e o desafio no reconhecimento da CMR, aliados ainda, à importância de se determinar um diagnóstico de maneira precoce, para assim, adotar recursos de forma mais rápida na tentativa de prologar a sobrevida do paciente em um quadro de prognóstico desfavorável. Assim, esse estudo trata de um caso clínico envolvendo uma paciente felina da raça persa, de 15 anos, atendida por um serviço veterinário com sinais de taquicardia e dispneia resultantes de uma efusão pleural. Posteriormente, a paciente recebeu diagnostico de cardiomiopatia de fenótipo restritivo e, apesar do tratamento, o quadro evoluiu com a progressão dos sinais de insuficiência cardíaca congestiva, e ainda, paralisia flácida de membros pélvicos. Após criteriosa avaliação do quadro clínico da paciente e considerando a baixa qualidade de vida, os tutores foram informados sobre as opções diagnósticas para tromboembolismo e as alternativas terapêuticas para as alterações presentes. Diante das limitações do caso e em comum acordo com os tutores, optou-se pela eutanásia.

The Dniester Hydro-Power Complex in Novodnistrovsk, Ukraine, has an important influence on the development of the Moldovan tourism sector on the Dniester. In general, the damming of watercourses by hydropower plants has several negative impacts on shipping, tourism, recreation and leisure or other areas relevant to tourism travel and consumption. In the specific case of the Novodnstrovsk dam, low water temperatures, unnatural fluctuations of river water, substantial reduction of sediments in the Dniester water coupled with a decrease in water flow speed and other destabilizing factors of natural environmental conditions produced exclusively by DHEC lead to more irreversible consequences for downstream tourism. Thus, local entrepreneurs are deprived of the opportunity to capitalize on the Dniester for tourism in a good part of the coastal towns, as well as they are forced to withdraw their touristic, recreational and related activities to serve tourists and hikers in other friendlier areas.
