Região marcada por acentuada desigualdade socioeconômica, a região de Bafatá, no leste da Guiné-Bissau, possui grande parte da sua população sem acesso a saneamento básico e dependente do apoio de agentes externos, como organizações nacionais e internacionais. Foi com este desafio que se deparou a equipe de uma ONGD portuguesa, em 2000, quando iniciou a sua atuação na localidade. Os inúmeros pedidos apresentados pela população contribuíram para que ela tivesse dificuldades no processo de seleção de quais projetos deveriam ser priorizados, devido a sua limitação de recursos. Assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho é gerir o portfólio de projetos da ONGD por meio do método AHP, cujo intuito é apresentar ferramentas que facilitem o processo de avaliação e seleção das demandas que lhe são apresentadas. A partir da aplicação do referido método, verificou-se que a sua utilização possibilita uma análise compensatória, contribuindo para a realização do objetivo da organização. Como procedimentos metodológicos para estruturação do trabalho, foram realizadas entrevistas e pesquisas bibliográficas e documental.

A TECNOLOGIA BIM PARA GESTÃO DE PROJETOS DE ILUMINAÇÃO
Authors: De Moraes Gomes Cristiane , Maria Marè Gogliano Renata
Published: March 2024

A revolução na forma de se realizarem projetos no setor AECO (Arquitetura, Engenharia, Construção e Operação) é bastante recente. Até meados do século XX, esses projetos eram elaborados manualmente. O primeiro grande marco dessa revolução se deu por volta de 1982, com a utilização de tecnologias computacionais para realizar as atividades inerentes ao processo de projetar, com o lançamento do software CAD (Computer Aided Design) pela empresa Autodesk. No entanto, na década de 1970, Charles Eastman já havia criado uma metodologia, voltada à descrição da construção em suas várias etapas ou Building Descripition System – BDS. Ela foi a precursora da metodologia Building Information Modeling – BIM, cuja adoção em todo o mundo vem crescendo, desde 1986. Isso porque, ela permite que se faça a gestão das informações de um projeto, em todo o seu ciclo de vida. De forma colaborativa. otimiza atividades, processos, recursos humanos e minimiza erros de execução, o que se reverte em valorização do ativo. Porém, percebe-se que a adoção da tecnologia BIM, em projetos de iluminação, ainda é limitada. Dado este contexto, esse trabalho tem como objetivo levar à compreensão das dificuldades encontradas por projetistas, para a implementação e utilização de BIM, visando à gestão de projetos de iluminação. Para tal, realizou-se uma revisão da literatura relativa aos temas centrais a serem abordados e avaliaram-se dois escritórios de arquitetura especializados em iluminação (estudos de caso) que desenvolvem seus projetos por meio de metodologias distintas. Como resultado, pode-se apurar os impactos e vantagens da utilização da tecnologia BIM, como metodologia, bem como identificar os desafios para a sua aplicação em projetos de iluminação.

Este estudo tem o objetivo de propor uma estratégia de desenvolvimento no município de Cornélio Procópio/PR a partir da análise dos setores do comércio e da economia criativa, assim como, das micro e pequenas empresas, maiores atingidos pelo isolamento social (ação necessária para o combate ao coronavírus). Para tanto foi utilizada como referência a análise dos dados do estudo “Mapeamento das Estruturas Produtivas e Setores Estratégicos do Município de Cornélio Procópio/Pr”. O estudo tem como ferramenta principal a matriz de insumo-produto inter-regional (município, estado e país). Para fins da pesquisa foi escolhido o transbordamento (restante do Paraná e do Brasil) dos geradores de emprego como indicador base da proposta de estratégia. Como resultado, observou-se que, tanto para o setor de comércio quanto para o da economia criativa, o maior responsável pelo transbordamento de empregos para fora do município é o setor de Outras atividades administrativas e serviços complementares, ligado à: Seleção, agenciamento e locação de mão de obra; Agências de viagens, operadores turísticos e serviços de reservas; Serviços para edifícios e atividades paisagísticas; Serviços de escritório, de apoio administrativo e outros serviços prestados às empresas. No caso das micro e pequenas empresas, o maior responsável por transbordamento, além do setor já mencionado, foi o comércio. A partir dos resultados, pode-se inferir que uma linha de estratégia a ser seguida para a geração de emprego em Cornélio Procópio estaria vinculada ao incentivo na abertura e atração de negócios voltados ao comércio por atacado e varejo que suprissem demandas das cadeias produtivas. Essa estratégia deveria partir da esfera pública municipal em articulação com o setor privado.
SEGURANÇA NO TRABALHO DE PILOTOS DA AVIAÇÃO CIVIL: UMA ANÁLISE DO UNSTABLE APPROACH NO CONTEXTO DA COVID-19
Authors: Leal Gustavo Leal
Published: March 2024

Este artigo tem como foco investigar os potenciais fatores humanos contribuintes para o aumento dos erros de Unstable Approach (aproximação desestabilizada) observados durante a pandemia do covid-19, na ótica da gestão de pessoas de uma grande empresa área brasileira. A operação dos pilotos de linha aérea tem efeito direto na segurança e na eficiência dos voos, particularmente no estágio de aproximação e pouso, em que os pilotos precisam lidar com altas cargas de trabalho e procedimentos complexos. Uma aproximação estabilizada é uma característica fundamental para um pouso seguro e conforme o Banco de Intercâmbio de Dados de Acidentes Aéreos da IATA (AIDX), Unstable Approach (UA) foi fator contribuinte para 26% dos acidentes de aproximação e pouso registrados entre 2016-2020 (IATA, 2020). A redução da UA é um objetivo recorrente da indústria da aviação, e os operadores aéreos têm critérios rigorosos que devem ser atendidos durante a fase de aproximação e pouso. Esses critérios são baseados em uma série de parâmetros pré-determinados, normalmente definidos pela velocidade, configuração da aeronave, razão vertical de descida, limites máximos de desvios laterais e verticais da trajetória de planeio ideal da aeronave em relação a pista de pouso. A aviação é um setor extremamente rico em dados, porém nem sempre é fácil identificar sinais significativos que possam promover mudanças positivas. Este estudo fornece uma sinalização ressonante do aumento dos erros de Unstable Approaches durante a pandemia do COVID-19, com base em dados que medem o desempenho dos pilotos de linha aérea durante a fase aproximação e pouso. Estes dados apontam um certo descontrole frente a um ambiente de stress generalizado como a chegada da pandemia do COVID-19, houve um aumento no índice de erros operacionais de aproximações e pouso, diante de uma desaceleração da atividade de transporte aéreo.
Trst, Ljubljana, Zagreb in Beograd med obrobjem in središčem: od zgodovinskih do neo-, post- in retroavantgard
Authors: Toporišič Tomaž
Published: March 2024

The essay outlines two attempts to revolutionise the relationship between the periphery and the centre in Central and Eastern Europe. The first belongs to the historical avant-gardes of the 1920s and 1930s. The second one belongs to the retro-avant-gardes at the turn of the century, which re-enacted some of the basic ideas of Constructivist and Futurist utopian questions. The retro-generations announced that they were the heirs of the artistic generation of the Constructivists and Zenitists, who wanted to promote Ljubljana, Zagreb, Belgrade and Trieste as centres of new art to establish a new bridge between East and West.

Obravnava jih skozi prizmo razmerij med središčem in obrobjem Srednje in Vzhodne Evrope, pri čemer izhaja iz predpostavke, da srednje- in vzhodnoevropskih avantgard ne smemo razumeti kot nepopolne derivate gibanj iz velikih zahodnih središč, temveč kot samostojne, avtentične izraze. Zemljevid zahodnih centrov modernistične in avantgardne umetnosti 20. stoletja je raziskovalcem dobro znan, toda tovrstne pregledne strukture za Vzhodno in Srednjo Evropo ni.

Abstract. Non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) in the marine atmosphere have been extensively studied due to their important roles in regulating the atmospheric chemistry and climate. However, very little is known about the distribution and sources of NMHCs in the lower atmosphere over the marginal seas of China. Herein, we characterized the atmospheric NMHCs (C2-C5) in both the coastal cities and marginal seas of China in spring 2021, with a focus on identifying the sources of NMHCs in the coastal atmosphere. The NMHCs in urban atmospheres, especially for alkanes, were significantly higher compared to that in marine atmosphere, suggesting that terrestrial NMHCs may serve as an important reservoir/source of the marine atmosphere. A significant correlation was observed between the alkane concentrations and the distances from sampling sites to the nearest land or retention of air mass over land, indicating that alkanes in the marine atmosphere are largely influenced by terrestrial inputs through air-mass transport. For alkenes, a greater impact from oceanic emissions was determined due to the lower terrestrial concentrations, short atmospheric lifetime, and substantial sea-to-air fluxes of alkenes compared to alkanes (489 ± 454 vs 129 ± 106 nmol m-2 d-1). As suggested by the positive matrix factorization, terrestrial inputs contributed to 89 % of alkanes and 69.6 % of alkenes in Chinese marginal seas, subsequently contributing to 84 % of the ozone formation potential associated with C2-C5 NMHCs. These findings underscore the significance of terrestrial outflow in controlling the distribution and composition of atmospheric NMHCs in the marginal seas of China.
Modelling subglacial fluvial sediment transport with a graph-based model, GraphSSeT
Authors: Aitken Alan Robert Alexander , Delaney Ian Arburua , Pirot Guillaume , Werder Mauro
Published: March 2024

Abstract. A quantitative understanding of how sediment discharge from subglacial fluvial systems varies in response to glacio-hydrological conditions is essential for understanding marine systems around Greenland and Antarctica and for interpreting sedimentary records of cryosphere evolution. Here we develop a graph based approach, GraphSSeT, to model subglacial fluvial sedimentary transport using subglacial hydrology model outputs as forcing. GraphSSeT includes glacial erosion of bedrock and a dynamic sediment model with exchange between the active transport system and a basal sediment layer. Sediment transport considers transport-limited and supply-limited regimes and includes stochastically-evolving grain size, network scale flow management and tracking of detrital provenance. GraphSSeT satisfies volume balance and sediment velocity and transport capacity constraints on flow. GraphSSeT is demonstrated for synthetic scenarios that probe the impact of variations in hydrological, geological and glaciological characteristics on sediment transport over multi-diurnal to seasonal timeframes. For steady-state hydrology scenarios on seasonal timescales we find a primary control from the scale and organisation of the channelised hydrological flow network. The development of grain size dependant selective transport is identified as the major secondary control. Non-steady-state hydrology is tested on multi-diurnal timescales, for which sediment discharge scales with peak water input leading to increased sediment discharge compared to steady state. With increasing application of subglacial hydrology models, GraphSSeT extends this capacity to define quantitatively the volume, grain size distribution and detrital characteristics of sediment discharge, and enables a stronger connection of models of the glacio-hydrological system with constraints from the sediment record and impacts on marine systems.

Published: March 2024

Spray nozzle and its tips, the most critical component of spray application equipment which influences the efficiency and effectiveness of the chemicals applied are the most neglected component in today’s farming. Hollow cone nozzles having different orifice tip materials (plastic, brass and stainless steel) were evaluated at three nozzle pressures (1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 kg.cm-2) to assess their performance in terms of increase in discharge rate and wear of orifice tip diameter. Percent increase in discharge rate of different hollow cone nozzles at three pressures and time interval of usage showed that that plastic tip material could work within the permissible limit of 15 % increase in discharge rate for about 90, 35, 10 h of use at pressure of 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 kg.cm-2, respectively. Similarly, brass tip material can work for about 50, 30 and 7.5 h and stainless steel for 90, 50 and 17.5 h, respectively, at these pressures. The increase in average orifice diameter was higher in case of brass tip nozzle as compared to plastic and stainless steel tip nozzles at all pressures.

Authors: Devinder Dhingra  , Dattatreya M. Kadam  , Jasjit Singh  , R. T. Patil
Published: March 2024

Osmotic dehydration of pineapple (Ananas comosus Linn.) slices (6, 9 and 12 mm) was carried out using aqueous solutions of sucrose of different concentrations (40, 50 and 60 % w/w) as osmotic media, at various fruit to solution ratios (1:2, 1:4 and 1:6). Total mass, water loss, solute gain and moisture content were determined for each sample at different time intervals (up to 6 h) of contact with the osmotic media. Regression analysis revealed that the osmotic dehydration kinetics depends strongly on sucrose concentration and slice thickness. The water loss and solute gain are more intensive at higher sucrose concentration and lower slice thickness. The effect of all the process parameters was observed to be significant at 10% level on both water loss and solute gain. Penetration and Magee model was fitted to the experimental data. Magee model was observed to represent water loss and solute gain more accurately as compared to Penetration model.
Independence Reconceived
Authors: Hill Claire , Nili Yaron
Published: March 2024

What makes a director independent? Scholars, regulators, and investors have grappled for decades with the fleeting notion of director independence. Originally conceived as guardians of shareholder interests that could safeguard a corporate board’s ability to check management’s power, independent directors have become a marquee feature of modern corporate governance. But do the corporate actions of directors that are considered “independent” under current standards comport with what we think independence requires? In many cases, the answer would seem to be “no.” From a lack of observable financial impact to the unabated flow of corporate scandals, independent directors seem to keep failing at the job they were championed to do.

This Article addresses this puzzling tension, offering a novel theoretical and practical reframing of the decades-old discourse around independent directors. The historical focus on the classical managerial agency costs paradigm emphasized that directors who lack ties to the management team can prevent managerial slack or value extraction. However, this approach overlooks the critical role directors also have in curbing managerial overzealousness. In today’s governance ecosystem, directors are not only tasked with preventing managerial slack. They are increasingly tasked with preventing managerial overreach and misconduct even when such overreach or misconduct is compatible with promoting shareholder value. This has important theoretical and practical implications.

This Article makes two key contributions to the literature. First, it reframes the question of what makes directors independent by supplementing the focus on agency costs as the driver for independence. By identifying a need to prevent boards from rubber-stamping managerial actions—even those taken in good faith—this Article suggests that a simple lack of ties to management fails as a litmus test for independence. Second, by reconceiving independence, this Article also provides tangible credence to the value of diversity on boards, the value and perils of hedge fund activism, and to the emerging discourse regarding ESG and stakeholderism.
The Propriety and Inevitability of Netting in Antitrust Class Actions
Authors: Fineberg Sam
Published: March 2024

How to define “antitrust injury” is an issue that has been the source of much debate among judges, lawyers, and academics alike. Specifically, a disagreement exists as to whether participation in a single transaction, which a defendant has allegedly tainted via anticompetitive behavior, is sufficient to constitute antitrust injury. Complicating this area of jurisprudential and doctrinal uncertainty are cases in which a plaintiff who has alleged injury as a result of anticompetitive conduct later reaped offsetting gains resulting from that very same conduct. The disagreements regarding the role of these net beneficiaries, and the netting process necessary to identify them, in antitrust suits implicate matters that extend far beyond legal theory. This Note outlines the multitude of ways in which the foregoing consequences manifest. It then highlights the propriety of a contextual approach in which courts are more willing to engage in nuanced and substantive class certification analyses that balance the interests of the litigants and the goals of the antitrust laws. The Note uses financial markets, and variations among the instruments therein, as a specific instantiation of these principles and a context in which a nuanced approach is especially compelling. It concludes by demonstrating that, regardless of whether a court incorporates netting into its definition of antitrust injury, it will have to contend with netting principles during the class–certification process.
Keeping Corporations in the Courts: A Framework for Addressing Jurisdiction over Corporate Defendants in Class Action Litigation
Authors: Sugerman Alexander H.
Published: March 2024

In a series of recent cases, the Supreme Court has made it significantly more difficult for plaintiffs to seek legal redress against corporations by limiting the power of courts to exercise personal jurisdiction over corporate defendants. Beginning in 2011, the Supreme Court limited the inquiry around where a corporation might be subject to general, all-purpose jurisdiction for claims against it. Then, in 2017, in Bristol-Myers Squibb v. Superior Court of California (“BMS”), the Court constrained the ability of plaintiffs to join together to sue a corporation when those plaintiffs were harmed by the corporation in different states. Importantly, these decisions left open whether these jurisdictional constraints apply to class actions.
This Note argues that because of the important role that class actions play in corporate accountability, it is essential that these limitations not be extended to the class action form. In summary, if the Rule 23 class action certification criteria are met and if the court has jurisdiction over the defendant with respect to class representatives’ claims under current personal jurisdiction doctrine, then the court should impute jurisdiction over that defendant with respect to the claims of class members. Part II of the Note details the scope of the aforementioned string of cases and discusses the scholarly, judicial, and popular responses to the potential applicability of BMS to class actions. Part III identifies the problems with applying BMS to class actions, focusing on the importance of private enforcement in maintaining corporate accountability and the essential role that the class action form plays in that process. Finally, Part IV considers the legal, policy, and normative considerations associated with limiting the scope of BMS and proposes solutions for how to limit BMS in the class action context.
Exploring Geotourism in Lake Constance
Authors: Schröder Jens
Published: March 2024

This scientific article explores the concept of geotourism, which encompasses tourism focused on a region's geology and the preservation of its resources, as well as its ecological and cultural aspects. Over the years, academics from different countries have redefined and interpreted geotourism in various ways. Nevertheless, National Geographic's definition defines it as "tourism that sustains or enhances the geographical character of the place being visited." The article's main focus is to identify characteristics that are associated with tourism in the Lake Constance region by conducting 30 expert interviews from May to July 2022. The open-ended questions will address the characteristics attributed to the Lake Constance region as a tourism destination. The results of the interviews will undergo qualitative content analysis to identify the various characteristics and characteristics attributed to Lake Constance. The findings will offer information for the future marketing campaigns aimed at promoting the Bodensee region. The hierarchal code sub-code model analysis generated six categories and nine sub-codes with a total coding of 408. The participants were asked about their age and gender, and their perception of the region's geographical boundaries. The expert interviews also evaluated the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of tourism in the Lake Constance region, applying the SWOT analysis method. Overall, this study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the perception of Lake Constance as a tourism destination by analyzing the interviews' responses.

Objectives Spontaneous pneumothorax among patients with obstructive sleep apnea treated by nocturnal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has not been well documented. Methods We present three cases of patients on chronic CPAP who experienced spontaneous pneumothorax without clear predisposing factors. Their personal and family medical histories, imaging characteristics, and CPAP settings are reviewed. Results In all three cases, the patients had bullae ipsilateral to the pneumothoraces that either formed (n = 1) or grew significantly (n = 2) after CPAP initiation. No other risk factors for pneumothorax or bullae were identified. Conclusions This case series demonstrates a need for further investigation into a possible connection between spontaneous pneumothorax, bullae development, and CPAP use. Keywords: obstructive sleep apnea, continuous positive airway pressure, bullae, complications of noninvasive mechanical ventilation, spontaneous pneumothorax
