Published: January 2024

Influencer marketing has emerged as a pivotal strategy for brands in the digital age. This report provides an in-depth examination of Beauty & Wellness Platforms’ employment of influencer collaborations to enhance brand awareness, foster trust, and drive sales. Adopting exploratory and descriptive research methodologies, the study analyses primary data from consumer surveys and secondary data on industry trends. Key findings reveal that influencer partnerships play a profound role in shaping audience perceptions and purchase intent for Beauty & Wellness products. Consumers demonstrate high dependence on influencer recommendations and overwhelmingly purchase products endorsed by them. Authenticity, expertise, and engaging content are deemed crucial for influencer credibility. Although Beauty & Wellness Platforms exhibits sound influencer marketing practices, opportunities exist to optimize audience segmentation, strengthen influencer relationships, and refine performance tracking. Tailored partnerships, quality content, two-way communication, and robust analytics emerge as essential elements in an adaptive, targeted influencer strategy. While illuminating Beauty & Wellness Platforms’ influencer marketing efficacy, this report also uncovers inherent challenges in quantifying ROI, maintaining authenticity, and responding to dynamic industry shifts. Further studies can explore evolutions in consumer behaviour and emerging platforms in this sphere.

Aplicación de la regla "pro rata temporis" en el contrato a tiempo parcial. A propósito de la retribución del tiempo extraordinario en la actividad de vuelo
Authors: Rodríguez Escanciano Susana
Published: January 2024

No cabe aplicar el principio general de equiparación entre personas trabajadoras a tiempo completo y a tiempo parcial a la hora de fijar la franja a partir de la cual abonar la retribución adicional correspondiente a un incremento extraordinario de jornada, sino que debe jugar el parámetro de proporcionalidad en función de la jornada particular de cada persona trabajadora con el fin de compensar una carga de trabajo individualizada.

The general principle of equality between full-time and part-time workers cannot be applied when establishing the range from which the remuneration corresponding to an extraordinary increase in working hours should be paid, but the parameter of proportionality must be applied according to the special working hours of each worker in order to compensate for an individualised workload.

Trabajador, en el ámbito de una relación laboral especial de los penados, interpone demanda contra la extinción que por razones de indisciplina ha sido acordada por el Organismo de Trabajo Penitenciario y formación para el Empleo (en adelante OTP). Quedando inalterada la cuestión relativa a la nulidad del acto extintivo por no estar suficientemente motivada la resolución administrativa, no sólo procede la readmisión en las mismas condiciones al momento extintivo, sino que, además, ha lugar a condenar a la administración empleadora a abonar al actor a una cantidad en concepto de daños y perjuicios, tomando como referencia analógica para su cuantificación los salarios dejados de percibir entre el fin de la relación y la readmisión.

Employee, within the scope of a special employment relationship for convicts, files a lawsuit against the termination that has been decided by the Penitentiary Work and Training for Employment Agency (hereinafter OTP) for reasons of indiscipline. Given the peaceful issue regarding the nullity of the termination act due to the insufficient motivation of the administrative resolution, not only does reinstatement proceed under the same conditions at the time of extinction, but it is also appropriate to condemn the employing administration to pay the plaintiff an amount for damages, with the quantification being analogously based on the wages not received between the end of the employment relationship and the reinstatement.

"Currently, the educational process must integrate new tools, to keep pace with technological progress. Our paper aims to investigate the extent to which the preferences of medical students for the autonomous use of multimedia resources in the learning process are correlated with their opinions towards the Internet and the intensity of using it in their daily activities. Methods: We investigated 395 medical students from 4 medical universities in Romania, 75.9% females, and 88.8% in the 1st and 2nd years of study. Students were asked to express on Likert-scales their agreement with a list of statements about Internet services, as well as whether they like learning using multimedia tools and how intensively they use Internet services. Results: The students agree to a medium to large extent with the favorable statements about Internet services but are also aware of the negative influences that indiscriminate use of such technology can have. The intensity of Internet usage is high, although not exaggerated. With small exceptions, the students who enjoy using multimedia resources during the learning process have also favorable opinions about Internet services, and use them constantly, mainly for information and instant messaging on social networks."

In this article, the author presents research findings within the realm of Eastern philosophy's discourse on the philosophy of love. The entry of love into the history of world civilization highlights the philosophical and anthropological significance of its role in human understanding. From this perspective, there arises a theoretical and practical need to analyze the place of love within the morphology of the individual from both a philosophical and anthropological standpointExamining the concept of love in its theoretical and practical dimensions becomes imperative in the context of exploring the human imagination's spiritual journey. This journey grapples with the challenges posed by the issues of human existence and its relationship with the phenomenon of love, a universal and all-encompassing force. Emotions' vulnerability, diversity, the primordial nature of love, and its role in modern human existence all converge in the complex tapestry of human life. Amidst the challenges posed by emotions, ambiguity, the reconfiguration of love, and the liberalization of sexual ethics in contemporary society, the enduring presence of love stands as a guiding star in the constellation of human existence.

Indonesia as a country with the largest Muslim population in the world does not necessarily make it an Islamic society (Al-Mujtama' al Islami). This is because the living system that oversees it is not an Islamic system or rule. Secularism and capitalism are still the spirit in making various laws and regulations. So that the feelings and thoughts that are born and appear are liberal feelings and thoughts. The purpose of this study is to find the concept of Al-Quran education Surah An-Nahl verse 112 in shaping Islamic society. With the literature study method, researchers found the foundation of this education is Islam. The goal is to form a society that obeys, hastens and accepts Islamic law in total. So that the security and prosperity of Islam are bestowed by Allah for them. This goal must be supported by the application of Islamic law by the state, unity based on Islamic aqidah, enforcement of amar ma'ruf nahyi munkar and legal sanctions that make deterrent and atone for sins.

Objetivo: Descrever a importância da utilização de aplicativos móveis como ferramenta de auxílio na assistência à saúde mental no ambiente acadêmico. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura. Foram realizadas buscas nas bases eletrônicas de dados: PubMed, Scopus e Web of Science. Após a elegelibilidade dos artigos científicos, foi realizada a identificação das bases de dados: remoção de duplicatas; leitura dos títulos; leitura dos resumos e excluídos aqueles que não atenderam aos critérios de inclusão após a leitura na íntegra. Em seguida, os artigos selecionados foi realizada a leitura na íntegra e extraído os principais pontos de análise do artigo, entre eles o planilhamento do título, objetivo, principais resultados e conclusão. Resultados: O desenvolvimento de aplicativos móveis de saúde tem aumentado exponencialmente, e foi relatado que o uso de aplicativos melhora a eficiência da prestação de cuidados de saúde e a eficácia do tratamento. Vale destacar que esses aplicativos têm potencial para ampliar o acesso às informações de saúde, facilitar o atendimento remoto e capacitar os usuários. O setor de mHealth é uma das categorias de aplicativos que mais cresceram nos últimos anos. No entanto, tem havido falta de foco e dedicação quando se trata de avaliar a credibilidade e a precisão científica destas aplicações. Isto é particularmente evidente no domínio dos aplicativos de saúde mental. Considerações finais: Desta forma, embora existam inúmeros aplicativos móveis para iOS e Android no Brasil que abordam transtornos mentais, há escassez de opções cientificamente validadas na língua portuguesa projetadas especificamente para o bem-estar mental de estudantes universitários.

Published: January 2024

Visualizing contaminant transport can play a significant role in better understanding the fate of contaminants in soil. The present study aimed to evaluate contamination of aluminium and mercury in the soil through the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to obtain an estimate of degraded zones. A leak from a generic stabilization pond measuring 40 m (length) and 20 m (width) was developed for the simulations. The simulations were carried out for a period of 10 years with different leak speeds, water inlet flow rates and different values of aluminum and mercury volume fractions. All governing equations was solved with the transient mode. The flow characterized as laminar, and the multiphase model was employed through the Mixture method. The time required for contamination to reach its maximum value was directly influenced by the change in speed values. The concentration of the pollutant increases as the water inlet and leakage speeds increase, however, it reduces the time needed to reach the highest pollutant value, indicating that the degree of pollution of the porous medium was greater. The study shows that contamination can be seen as a potential contaminant source for groundwater.

Published: January 2024

O trabalho ora apresentado, tem por finalidade trazer à luz conhecimentos que se entrançam em composição multidisciplinar, com potencial de fundamentação para educação da pessoa idosa. Nele, compartilhamos a percepção alcançada acerca do que as ciências têm manifestado sobre envelhecimento, velhice e educação. É um estudo de natureza qualitativa, de abordagem fenomenológica, caracterizado como pesquisa exploratória, configurada como bibliográfica e documental. Com elevada complexidade, o fenômeno educacional da pessoa idosa se manifestou como um desafio a ser enfrentado. Apesar do expressivo arsenal de saberes produzidos pelas ciências, o idoso, em sua necessidade de aprender, tem sido conduzido “em partes” e não em “um todo” articulado/interfuncional. O alcance das especificidades da pessoa idosa pelo processo educativo, passa pela articulação de saberes em perspectiva interdisciplinar, capazes de criar, desenvolver e institucionalizar metodologia apropriada ao aprendente idoso. A educação gerontológica ainda se apresenta incipiente, construindo um caminho para a articulação dos saberes que a fundamentam, e para a aplicação destes na elaboração de metodologia própria.

A presença de solos adversos ao uso em pavimentação e o avanço da engenharia de rodovias direcionam os estudos geotécnicos para a busca de conhecimento que propicie o melhoramento dos índices das amostras de solo, a fim de torná-las aceitáveis para o uso. A amostra de solo utilizada no presente estudo foi coletada às margens do Rio Itapocu, no município de Jaraguá do Sul, região norte do estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil. Foram preparados corpos de prova estabilizados com cal e com adição de cimento, sendo para os dois métodos de estabilização o agente estabilizador adicionado em substituição de material nas porcentagens de  4% e 7%. A substituição do solo (argila siltosa) por estabilizantes mostrou resultados mais satisfatórios quando utilizada a porcentagem de 7% em vez de 4%, tanto para estabilização com cal quanto com cimento. O cimento apresentou um ganho de resistência de 259% e 244% em relação à cal, para 4% e 7% respectivamente, mesmo com um tempo de cura menor, sendo de 7 dias para o cimento e 14 dias para a cal.

Scorpion stings are common in many Brazilian environments, especially in rural areas. In this descriptive survey, we evaluated the frequency of accidents caused by scorpions in a rural settlement in Ribeirão Preto, Southest Brazil. We used a random sample of 158 participants from the adult population living in the Mario Lago Rural Settlement, located in the “Fazenda da Barra”, rural area of Ribeirão Preto. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire. Approximately three-eighths of the participants had been stung by scorpions. More than 90% had encountered scorpions in their homes or yards, and 13.9% had been stung in the previous 12 months. Hands, feet, arms, and legs were the most common sting sites, and 72.5% reported that the accident occurred inside their homes. Our data suggest that the incidence rate of scorpion accidents found in this rural settlement is much higher than that found in the entire municipality of Ribeirão Preto. These findings highlight the importance of training programs and improvements in sanitary services to prevent scorpion stings in rural communities.

Rail systems have been used for transportation and carriage purposes since the beginning of the 19th century and are still an important means of transportation today. This transportation method is actively used in densely populated Asian countries, especially in America and European countries. According to data from the National Safety Council (NSC) in the United States, rail travel is indeed one of the safest modes of transportation, second only to air travel. NSC reported that in 2019 rail fatality rates were 0.31 deaths per billion passenger miles, while the death rate for air travel was only 0.061 deaths per billion passenger miles. However, this does not mean that serious accidents do not occur. Moreover, the cause of the majority of these accidents is derailment caused by line deterioration and breaking of rails. According to technical data from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), in 2020 there were 1,601 accidents caused by track issues, including rail cracks and deterioration. These statistics highlight the importance of regular road maintenance and inspection to ensure the integrity of the railway and prevent accidents caused by road problems. To date, many studies have been carried out to control and ensure the integrity of the rails. In our study, the main aim is to provide a system that will verify that there is no crack in the rails, and otherwise inform the machinist. Furthermore, this study does this verification by dividing the rail structure into small blocks and checking whether the circuit is completed with the electric current it provides over the train. Thanks to this easy-to-apply system, the deformations on the rails can be easily detected pointwise and the number of fatal accidents can be reduced.

Published: January 2024

The design and development of a new generation high crushing capacity jaw crusher, developed for the first time in Turkey and whose Closed Side Settings (CSS) may be automatically adjusted hydraulically, were investigated in this study. The calculations for the crusher developed for this purpose were included in the paper. The design modifications made to expand the crusher's jaw stroke from 27 mm to 40 mm were documented, and the capacity increase resulting from this was theoretically calculated and proven by a wide range of field tests conducted after the jaw crusher was manufactured. Field testing and their findings were also thoroughly covered in the paper. The forces on the crusher jaw and bearings, the crusher body geometry and crusher material (via fatigue analysis), and the dynamic performance of the system (via vibration analysis of the carrier system) were examined as the outcome of the FEM (Finite Element Method) and DEM (Discrete Element Method) analyses performed after the theoretical calculations. With improvements made based on the findings gained, the theoretical and practical harmony of the created jaw crusher system was realized. Field testing has proven that the adjustment procedure takes no more than 3 minutes and requires no human participation. As a result of this research, a patent application for the created automation algorithm was filed.
