Authors: Oliveira Breno , Assis Pablo Roberto de
Published: October 2023

Em uma sociedade globalizada, a importância da inovação tornou-se uma parte fundamental das operações comerciais do dia a dia. Existe uma necessidade premente de buscar o sucesso organizacional, e as inovações enriquecem as transformações nos processos de produção e nos modelos de produtos, tendo impactos socioeconômicos em áreas específicas. Nesse contexto, a pesquisa se concentra em empreendimentos relacionados ao Centro Vocacional Tecnológico (CVT) do cacau e, consequentemente, nos negócios da região sul da Bahia. Portanto, o objetivo desta pesquisa é avaliar os aspectos relacionados ao empreendedorismo, à inovação e à produção de chocolate. As conclusões apontam para a necessidade de que esse novo movimento no mercado do cacau/chocolate atenda aos padrões de gestão de qualidade exigidos. Isso implica adotar uma visão sistêmica, buscando introduzir produtos que atendam a mercados exigentes e diferenciados, que muitas vezes não são altamente suscetíveis à economia de escala. Além disso, a pesquisa destaca a importância de fortalecer os novos modelos associativistas de organização e gestão como parte desse cenário inovador.
DESCONSIDERAÇÃO DA PERSONALIDADE JURÍDICA E A PROTEÇÃO DO INTERESSE DOS CREDORES NA RECUPERAÇÃO JUDICIAL DE EMPRESAS FAMILIARES
Authors: Cardoso Sousa Daniel , Medrado Lucas Cavalcante
Published: October 2023

O estudo tem como objetivo analisar a eficácia da desconsideração da personalidade jurídica na salvaguarda dos interesses dos credores em processos de recuperação judicial de empresas familiares, reconhecendo os desafios decorrentes da proximidade entre o patrimônio dos sócios e o da empresa. Utilizando uma abordagem dedutiva e uma metodologia de pesquisa jurídica baseada em análises bibliográficas e documentais, este trabalho destaca a importância de aplicar a desconsideração da personalidade jurídica com cuidado, considerando os riscos associados. O estudo conclui que a aplicação criteriosa desse instituto pode efetivamente proteger os interesses dos credores. Isso é evidenciado no caso emblemático do Grupo Odebrecht, onde a desconsideração da personalidade jurídica foi fundamental para responsabilizar os controladores e acionistas por condutas irregulares, garantindo a satisfação dos credores. Portanto, a pesquisa enfatiza a necessidade de fundamentar a aplicação desse instituto em evidências sólidas, visando à preservação dos interesses públicos e da integridade do mercado.
A SAÍDA DO REINO UNIDO DA UNIÃO EUROPEIA: FATORES HISTÓRICOS, ASPECTOS SOCIAIS E DESDOBRAMENTOS POLÍTICOS
Authors: Moraes de Moura Giovana Mercedes , Azevedo Flávia Regina Porto de
Published: October 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é retratar as circunstâncias históricas, sociais e políticas que estavam intrinsecamente relacionadas ao resultado do plebiscito realizado em 23 de junho de 2016, quando o Reino Unido optou por deixar a União Europeia, conjuntura que passou a ser denominada de Brexit. Na metodologia do trabalho, foi utilizada a abordagem de caráter bibliográfico e exploratório, em que foram analisados artigos científicos, dissertações e teses de autores que, em ocasiões passadas, analisaram o Reino Unido enquanto Estado-Membro da União Europeia, bem como as relações existentes entre o país e o bloco europeu. A análise se baseou nos cenários que se desenrolaram após a Crise do Subprime e da Dívida Soberana Europeia, e que atuaram como agentes impulsionadores de movimentos nacionalistas – estimulados, principalmente, por uma parte da população e de uma ala política radical – que pediam pelo abandono da UE, e, consequentemente, encorajaram a xenofobia contra imigrantes e refugiados que residiam no Reino Unido. Os resultados contribuem à ideia de que o Brexit se constituiu em algo muito maior do que meras expectativas políticas, firmando, por sua vez, um elo significativo junto àquela parcela da sociedade que rejeitou a ideia de um Reino Unido que fosse parte da União Europeia.
A INFLUÊNCIA DO USO DA PORNOGRAFIA VIRTUAL NO DESEMPENHO SEXUAL E NA VINCULAÇÃO AFETIVA
Authors: Araujo Amanda Rocha , Santos Phillippe Braga , Nunes Maria Eduarda de Sousa
Published: October 2023

A pesquisa científica sobre a influência do uso da pornografia virtual no desempenho sexual e na vinculação afetiva é ampla, embora os resultados possam variar. Portanto algumas descobertas sugerem que o consumo excessivo do conteúdo pornográfico pode estar associado a vários fatores, por exemplo, dificuldades na função erétil, diminuição do desejo sexual e problemas de intimidade emocional, enquanto outros estudos enfatizam a falta de uma relação direta de causa e efeito ao tratar a pornografia como fator não predominante. Há evidencias que a exposição à pornografia pode moldar as expectativas sexuais e influenciar negativamente a percepção da intimidade real. Além disso, questões como dependência, diminuição da satisfação sexual, dificuldades de comunicação e fatores fisiológicos afetados têm sido levantadas em alguns contextos para observar melhor os aspectos causados pelo uso do conteúdo supracitado. Dessa forma, é importante considerar o papel dos fatores individuais, da cultura, dos valores pessoais e da qualidade do relacionamento ao avaliar o impacto da pornografia virtual no desempenho sexual e na vinculação afetiva.

Subjective Well-being and School Functioning among High School Students
Authors: Abbasi Najam ul Hasan , Lin Lv
Published: October 2023

Subjective well-being (SWB) is a complex concept that includes all facets of effective and healthy human functioning across many different domains. This study sought to determine how teenagers' subjective well-being correlated with three measures of school functioning: academic achievement, academic satisfaction, and prosocial behavior. 223 teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18 were included, with girls making up to 54.9% of the group (M = 15.67, SD = 1.21) and boys 45.1% (M = 16.21, SD = 1.16). Academic satisfaction and performance are the next best predictors of prosocial behavior among study participants, followed by their subjective well-being. Students' academic satisfaction and prosocial behavior are strongly predicted by their gratitude and school connection. However, there was no statistically significant correlation between these characteristics and students' academic achievement. For all participants, academic efficacy and satisfaction were important outcome predictors. Together, these findings indicate that that student subjective well-being is an important resource for improving academic performance in adolescents.
O kościołach i parafiach w Stryszowie i Zakrzowie w diecezji krakowskiej
Authors: Lenczowski Franciszek
Published: October 2023

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest krótkie opracowanie dziejów kościołów w Stryszowie i Zakrzowie. W tekście zwrócono uwagę, że już od XIV wieku drewniany kościółek pod wezwaniem św. Anny, służył jako parafialny kościół w Zakrzowie, obejmując przez kilka wieków rozległą terytorialnie parafię. Na przełomie XV/XVI wieku parafia zakrzowska została zlikwidowana, a kościół św. Anny pozostawał pod administracją proboszczów ze  Stryszowa do 1720 roku. W tymże roku ksiądz Błażej Karpiński, proboszcz stryszowski wybudował nowy drewniany kościół św. Anny. Wybudowana świątynia pozostawała pod administracją proboszczów stryszowskich aż do 1907 roku. W latach 1907 – 1935 świątynia w Zakrzowie pełniła funkcję kościoła parafialnego.  Po roku 1935 zaprzestano używania drewnianego kościoła do celów religijnych. Został on rozebrany i przeniesiony na Harendę koło Zakopanego. W tym samym roku zbudowano murowany kościół pod wezwaniem św. Anny, który pełni funkcję parafialnego kościoła w Zakrzowie do dnia dzisiejszego.

Unravelling Teacher Turnover: Exploring Factors at the Province, School District and School Levels
Authors: Arslan Emre , Özkan Metin
Published: October 2023

This study aimed to determine how teachers ranked the reasons for turnover at the province, school district, and school levels based on their importance. For this purpose, the most important reasons for turnover at the province, school district and school levels were determined based on teachers' judgments. At the same time, it was determined how teachers' opinions differed in terms of gender, marital status, tenure status and years of seniority. The results showed the psychological dimension of the problems faced by teachers and provided an opportunity for a comprehensive analysis of the teachers' acceptance area. Within this scope, a general survey model was conducted during the 2022-2023 academic year with 722 teachers working in official institutions in the Şehitkamil and Şahinbey districts of Gaziantep Province. To identify reasons for teacher turnover, a literature review was conducted, interviews were conducted with teachers, and expert opinions were obtained. The identified turnover reasons were classified at the province, school district, and school levels, and a “Teacher Turnover Reasons Ranking Form” was created after the pilot study. Teachers were asked to rank the reasons for turnover according to their priorities and judgments. Based on the teachers' perspectives, at the city level, Future Plans and Distance from Family; at the school district level, people’s Approaches to Education, People's Negative Attitudes and Behaviours; and at the school level, Student Behaviour Problems and High Student Numbers were identified as the most important reasons for teacher turnover. According to the research findings, teachers prioritized their individual and family needs at the city level, the attitudes and behaviours of stakeholders at the school district level, and problems stemming from students at the school level as significant reasons for turnover. The research findings reveal that teachers perceive their individual and familial needs at the provincial level, the attitudes and behaviours of stakeholders at the school district level, and student-related issues at the school level as significant factors contributing to turnover.

Integrating GIS and Semantic Web Technologies as a Next Step in the Evolution of Spatial Digital Humanities
Authors: Faust Avraham , Shweka Roni
Published: October 2023

With the advent of information technology, numerous initiatives have been launched by cultural heritage, academic and commercial institutions aiming at digitization, organization, visualization and analysis of historical information of a given place. These projects usually utilize GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to represent and analyze a restricted range of spatial data, such as archaeological findings or landmarks from a single information source. To take the emerging field of spatial history to the next level—the spatial digital humanities—the traditional spatial data should be enriched with cultural and social data from heterogeneous resources, such as historical books, administrative documents, images, and multimedia objects, and allow for deeper analysis of the historical places’ cultural and social context. To this end, ontologies and modern semantic web technologies should be combined with GIS technology to enable easy data standardization and integration, uniform data modeling, open-access and cross-project data sharing and analysis. In this paper, we review this combined approach and its utilization attempts in recent spatial digital humanities projects for cities from all over the globe while discussing the field’s main common challenges and their possible solutions.

Authors: Avni Gideon , Altshuler Alex , Siew Tsafra , Weinblum Liat , Ulus Tal , Ellenblum Ronnie
Published: October 2023

This paper describes the vision, framework, challenges, and implementation of the Jerusalem History Knowledge Center (JHKC) initiated by the late Ronnie Ellenblum. The center’s establishment was configured as a joint project of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI), the National Library of Israel (NLI), and the Israel Antiquities Authorities (IAA). Its primary mission and challenge were to establish a long-term digital infrastructure constituting an open-access platform about the history of Jerusalem, which draws on diverse sources, such as archaeological records, historical documents, pilgrims’ accounts, old and new photographs and videos, architectural reconstructions, etc. The first stages included the classification of databases about two sites in Jerusalem: the Citadel—Tower of David and the Damascus Gate. As part of this work, we implemented a unified search in interdisciplinary databases regarding a specific geographical area or a single monument. The center’s products will eventually operate at two levels: at the research level, facilitating work in the fields of history, archeology, art, geography, social sciences, etc., and at the popular level, serving the general public.
ALMA Digital Atlas of the Ancient Jewish World: An Introductory Essay
Authors: Yoskovich Avraham , Rappel-Kroyzer Or , Marmor Yanir , Levi Sarel , Ben-Eliyahu Eyal
Published: October 2023

The “spatial turn” in the humanities has led to increased exploration of spatial perspectives. This shift inspired the ALMA Digital Atlas of the Ancient Jewish World project, which aims to develop a comprehensive digital-analytical atlas. It is intended to serve as a tool for geographical and comparative research on ancient Jewish geography, spanning the Hellenistic and Byzantine periods. The atlas builds on two elemental entity types: place, which pertains to regions or settlements, and source, which addresses pertinent historical texts, archaeological finds, or both, allowing for the robust comparison of geographical information from various sources. This project seeks not only to address existing historical and geographical questions but also to raise new ones, offering fresh insights into geographical perception in antiquity.

Published: October 2023

This paper investigates the impact of stakeholder engagement and operational performance of construction firms in Rivers State, Nigeria. To further understand operational performance, three measures including on-time delivery, project quality and cost minimization where used. This study was conducted in a non-contrived setting and the quasi-experimental research design method was adopted. A questionnaire was distributed to 121 study elements made up of managers and supervisors of eight selected construction firms with operational/regional offices in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The retrieved and valid copies of the questionnaire were analyzed with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings indicated that operational performance of construction companies in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria as measured by on-time delivery, project quality and cost minimization is highly dependent on how engaged stakeholders of such a project are. Such engagement leads to high project quality, timely delivery of projects as well as cost reduction as stakeholders would have better understanding of the firm’s operations. It is then concluded that stakeholder engagement is key to project success for construction companies operating in the Niger Delta, specifically Rivers State. Hence, managers and supervisors must deliberately ensure that project stakeholders properly engaged all through the various stages of the project.

Authors: KARADOĞAN Ahmet , UYUMAZ Fetullah
Published: October 2023

We think that addressing the view of artificial intelligence, which is used in almost every field today, from literary genres to poetry will fill a gap in the literature. In this context, in this study, we examined how to visualise poems from literary products with artificial intelligence and whether the visuals created will be related to poetry. For this purpose, we selected Yahya Kemal's poems titled Gurbet, Bir Yıldız Aktı, Uçuş, Ziyaret, Siliz Gemi, Maltepe, Akşam Musikisi, Gece, Mevsimler, which have an important place in Turkish literature. We obtained visuals for the poems using Dall. E and Artbreeder applications. In the study, we examined how compatible the visuals were with the poems by using the content analysis method. As a result; artificial intelligence produced visuals suitable for the words, themes and emotions in the poems. We determined that the visuals produced by artificial intelligence were reminiscent of poems in terms of colour and shape.

Bilişsel esneklik ve stresle başa çıkma düzeyinin yüksek olması sporda performansa olumlu yansıyan bir etkendir, dolayısıyla bu araştırmada elit düzey güreşçilere dair yaş, spor yaşı ve stil demografik özellikleri ile bilişsel esneklik ve stresle başa çıkma strateji düzeylerinin ilişkilendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli ile sürdürülmüş ve araştırmaya uygun örneklem yöntemiyle ulaşılmış olan toplam 157 erkek elit düzey güreşçi katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulmuş demografik bilgiler anketi, Martin ve Rubin (1995) tarafından geliştirilmiş Çelikkaleli (2014) tarafından Türkçe uyarlaması yapılmış “Stresle Başa Çıkma Ölçeği” ve Türküm (2002) tarafından geliştirilmiş “Bilişsel Esneklik Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Veri analizinde, yüzde, frekans, Cronbach Alpha katsayısı hesaplamaları yapılmıştır Bilişsel esneklik ile stresle başa çıkma arasındaki ilişki Pearson korelasyon analizi ile incelenmiş/kullanılmış, bilişsel esnekliğin stresle başa çıkma üzerinde etkisi basit regresyon analiziyle hesaplanmıştır. Katılımcıların yaş, spor yaşı ve güreş stili olmak üzere kişisel özellikleri ile ölçekler arasında fark olup olmadığı incelenirken ikili değişkenler için t testi, ikiden fazla değişkenler için Anova testi yapılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, elit düzey güreşçilerin yaş, spor yaşı ve güreş stili (serbest ve grekoromen) ile ölçekler arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı, stresle başa çıkma ve bilişsel esnekliklerinin orta düzeyde olduğu elde edilmiştir. Yani elit düzey güreşçilerin karşılaştıkları sorunlara karşı tam anlamıyla adaptasyon sağlayamadığı ve çözüm üretme süreçlerinin orta düzeyde başarılı olduğu görülmüştür.

The current economic paradigm of Consumption Growth Driven Economics (CGDE) has reached its expiration date for Western economies and is poised to harm emerging economies like India and China due to resource constraints. This article advocates the need for a shift towards a new economic paradigm, referred to as Wellbeing Growth Driven Economics (WGDE), that prioritizes ecological restoration and conservation. To achieve this shift, businesses must transform and adopt new sustainability principles. It poses important questions regarding the role of business in reducing energy dependence, promoting sustainability, and measuring success. In conclusion, the paper suggests that businesses aligning with social and ecological wellbeing will be the successful businesses of the future, making a compelling case for a paradigm shift in business design.

Since its discovery in December 2019, coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has become an increasingly serious global health concern due to its sharp rise in cases and fatalities. Since occupational therapy staff members are the initial line of defence against the COVID-19 epidemic , having sufficient knowledge, practise, and attitudes (KPA) about the disease may improve their capacity to prevent self-infection, lower mortality, and deliver quality medical care during the pandemic. This study aimed to evaluate the OT staff at RMI's KPA toward COVID-19. This cross-sectional research was conducted at Rehman Medical Institute Peshawar using a questionnaire survey completed by OT staff members at various OTs. The research team physically distributed questionnaires. This 21-item survey is divided into four main sections to evaluate the respondents' demographics, practises, and attitudes regarding COVID-19. In all, 178 people took part in the research. Most were women. Males made up 51% (n = 90) and 49% (n = 88). To establish the overall score, we computed the average of all correct answers given by participants to the knowledge section questions.  92 (51.6%) participants had a solid knowledge of COVID-19 symptoms and high-risk patients, while the remaining 86 (48.4%) had a rudimentary understanding of the disease. Similarly, 149 participants (83.7%) reported good practices, and 29 (16.3%) reported poor practices. 92 (51.6%) participants had a solid knowledge of COVID-19 symptoms and high-risk patients, while the remaining 86 (48.4%) had a rudimentary understanding of the disease. Furthermore, after being in contact with the patient and colleagues, some of them became concerned about returning home and infecting their family members. According to the findings, 111 (62.3%) of the participants had a positive attitude toward COVID-19 positive patients, while the remaining 67 (37.7%) had a negative attitude. As the worldwide COVID-19 danger develops, OT Staff from Rehman Medical Institute Peshawar exhibits acceptable KAP regarding COVID-19. There was a considerable gap in OT Staff expertise and attitude. During this epidemic, institution policymakers and OT staff should continue ongoing education, training, and follow-up updates.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hereditary illness that is prevalent in malaria-prone locations. In these endemic locations, it has historically been linked to high rates of childhood death. This shows that SCD patients with malaria should start effective anti-malarial medication very away. Proguanil was a suitable chemoprophylaxis treatment for these individuals to reduce the prevalence of asymptomatic parasitization and avoid malaria. Sulphadoxine-Pyrimethamine Intermittent Preventive Treatment (IPT) has also demonstrated significant promise in lowering malaria and anemia incidence. Additionally, hydroxyurea is a successful therapy for sickle cell anemia. This article generally discusses the main association between sickle cell anemia and malaria and outlines the related therapies.
Method: For pertinent information, PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were scoured in-depth. The Rayyan QRCI was employed throughout this thorough procedure.
Results: our study article included 18 studies, in which the effect of sickle cell anemia in the presence of malaria was explained. The main parameters like age, sex, type of drug and time to use were obtained. Clinical studies were required to determine the relation between sickle cell anemia and malaria and determine the effective therapy.
Conclusion: people with sickle cell anemia (SCA), the most severe type of SCD, are more likely to die from malaria than persons with SCT or no hemoglobin gene variation.

Published: October 2023

Background: Antrochoanal polyp is a rare benign, non-ectopic polypoid lesion that arises from the maxillary antrum. The commonly affected age group ranges from ten to 15 years. It typically results in a unilateral lesion. However, it is rare to see this tumor in children less than 15 years of age.
Methods: Case report: this report presented a case of an 8-year-old Saudi male patient who presented with a complaint of dysphagia, snoring, nasal discharge, and mouth breathing for several months.
Results: Computed tomography showed complete opacification of the right maxillary sinus with extension to the right nasal fossa and nasopharynx through a widened maxillary infundibulum, which is suggestive of an antrochoanal polyp.
Conclusion: Even though antrochonal polyps are frequently seen in children between the ages of ten and 15, it is important to remember that they can develop younger.
