The study underscores the necessity to enhance support system and training for social workers to improve the sustainability of reunification efforts. responsibility, and active citizenship, thereby contributing to national resilience.

Background/Purpose: Latin Dance Sports is a high-intensity sport, demanding a combination of physical fitness, flexibility, and complex technique. This study aims to analyze the most prevalent injury patterns, identify biomechanical risk factors, and propose specific prevention and rehabilitation strategies for Latin dancers/athletes. Methods: This article synthesizes findings from epidemiological and biomechanical studies on Latin Dance Sports. The analysis focuses on overuse injuries and acute (traumatic) injuries, particularly in the lower extremities and the spine. Prevention strategies are proposed based on the principles of optimizing specific physical fitness (core strength, balance, and muscular endurance). Results: Injuries to the lower extremities (ankles, feet, knees) and the lumbar spine are the most common. More than 60% of injuries are due to overuse, associated with the high repetition frequency of rotational movements, bouncing (Samba/Jive), and torso dissociation (Cuban Motion). Key risk factors include core-hip strength imbalances and improper floor contact technique. Conclusion: The implementation of a comprehensive supplementary training program, focusing on hip-spinal joint stabilization strength and proprioception training, is the most effective strategy to mitigate injury risk and optimize the recovery process for Latin dancers/athletes.

Fingerpicking technique is an essential yet insufficiently systematized component in guitar accompaniment for popular music. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a new, multi-tiered classification system for fingerpicking patterns, based on rhythmic and harmonic functions. The research methodology combines structural analysis of accompaniment patterns with case studies of iconic songs. Key findings reveal a direct correlation between a pattern's degree of syncopation and its perceived rhythmic energy, as well as the role of arpeggiation in conveying intimacy and introspection. This study not only contributes to the field of performance practice research but also provides a valuable methodological framework for guitar teaching and learning, systematically linking technical structure to expressive effect.
