The article titled "Between Vatican and Portugal. Government and Pastoral Issues. (17th to 20th centuries)" analyzes the controversies that have arisen in Portugal over time regarding the government and pastoral care of the Church. The author, Carlos A. Moreira Azevedo, offers a compilation of works that address different historical moments, from the 17th century to the 20th century. The book examines the relationships between the Papacy and the Portuguese Church, highlighting important figures of the episcopate and their role in difficult moments of the history of relations between Lisbon and Rome. The author uses documentation from the Vatican Apostolic Archive and concludes with the analysis of the process that led to the restoration of the diocese of Leiria in 1918.

This research study aims to assess the perception of management control and its impact on productivity and competitiveness in mining companies from the Northern Chilean macro zone. Based on theory gathered previously, it is proposed a causal model composed of eleven hypotheses that interrelate seven variables. Data are gathered through a survey and are analyzed by applying structural equations through the method of partial least squares, managing to reduce the hypotheses to a total of six. The results show that competitiveness in mining companies is a consequence of the positive, direct, and indirect influence of sustainable productivity, where its variance is explained by 55.9%. It is concluded that management control is a fundamental tool for decision-making and for successfully achieving strategic results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We present a 16 year-old girl from Africa, affected by an oculo-cutaneous albinism, who developed a squamous cell carcinoma of the right ear that was treated by radical surgery and reconstructed with a free TRAM flap. Albinism is a genetic metabolic disease that is characterized by an impossibility to produce melanin. It presents two variations: ocular and oculo-cutaneous. In some african countries, patients affected by the disease are socially rejected and they do not receive right medical treatments. For this reason the tumor was infiltrating very deeply, affecting the cranial base when our patient was visited in our hospital. The complex anatomy of the vital structures in this area makes surgical resection of tumors involving the skull base extremely difficult. We review some concepts about the treatment of lateral and temporal skull base tumors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
