Entrepreneurship is a vital driver of economic growth globally, including in Southeast Nigeria, where women entrepreneurs play a pivotal role. However, these women face unique challenges due to limited access to tailored training programs. This study investigates the impact of Training (bookkeeping and credit recovery training) on the entrepreneurial performance of women in Southeast Nigeria. A survey research design was employed, targeting 5,690 registered women-owned enterprises in Southeast Nigeria. A sample of 360 respondents was selected using judgmental and simple random sampling. Data collection utilized structured questionnaires with a five-point Likert scale format. Multiple regression analysis examined the relationship between independent variables (bookkeeping training and credit recovery training) and the dependent variable (women entrepreneurial performance). The study reveals that bookkeeping training significantly enhances women entrepreneurial performance, emphasizing the practical value of such programs. Credit recovery training also has a positive impact, addressing credit-related challenges. These results underscore the importance of tailored training initiatives for women entrepreneurs.

Authors: Dos Santos Bispo Péricles , Nunes Pollnow Edilson
Published: April 2024

O latão é um dos metais mais utilizados no mundo, ele é empregado em diversas áreas, principalmente em áreas onde exijam materiais com boa resistência a corrosão exemplo, partes do casco de navios e tubulações. Além de apresentar uma boa resistência à corrosão, ele também tem ótimas propriedades térmicas. Pensando nas aplicações da liga de latão c 360, este trabalho se propôs a estudar a possível influência que alguns tratamentos térmicos podem causar na microestrutura e consequentemente nas propriedades mecânicas desta liga. Como o tratamento térmico tem a finalidade de modificar a morfologia da microestrutura, as amostras foram divididas em 4 grupos: (amostra controle, têmpera com água, têmpera com óleo, normalização). Com isso realizamos um estudo metalográfico de todas as peças a fim de analisar as fases presentes e o tamanho de grão, pois quanto menor o grão, mais contornos de grãos são encontrados, elevando a resistência mecânica. A fim de certificar isso, realizamos ensaios de micro dureza vickers. A carga utilizada foi de 0,1 kgf com a duração desta aplicação por 10s. Realizou-se 5 medições para cada amostra, englobando pontos ao longo de toda a amostra, e conseguimos constatar de forma quantitativa a mudança na dureza devido à alteração da sua morfologia. Tendo as temperas alcançado dureza maior do que as peças normalizadas e menor do que a amostra controle.

Authors: Finnerup Nanna Brix , Sindrup Søren Hein , Jensen Troels Staehelin
Published: April 2024

Los ensayos randomizados, doble ciegos, controlados con placebo sobre el dolor neuropático son cada vez más comunes y por ende se necesita una revisión actualizada de la evidencia disponible. Los estudios fueron identificados por medio de búsquedas en MEDLINE y EMBASE. Los valores del número necesario a tratar (NNT) y número necesario a dañar (NND) se utilizaron para comparar la eficacia y seguridad de los diferentes tratamientos para un número de condiciones dolorosas neuropáticas. Se incluyeron ciento setenta y cuatro estudios, lo que representa un 66% de incremento en los ensayos randomizados, controlados con placebo publicados en los últimos 5 años. Se examinó la polineuropatía dolorosa (más comúnmente debida a diabetes) en 69 estudios, neuralgia post-herpética en 23, mientras que la injuria nerviosa periférica, dolor central, neuropatía por HIV, y neuralgia de trigémino fueron estudiados con menor frecuencia. Los antidepresivos tricíclicos, los inhibidores de la recaptación de serotonina y noradrenalina, los anticonvulsivantes gabapentina y pregabalina, y los opioides son las clases de drogas para las cuales existe la mejor evidencia de un efecto clínico relevante. A pesar del 66% de incremento en los ensayos publicados, sólo se obtuvo una limitada mejoría en el tratamiento del dolor neuropático. Una amplia proporción de pacientes con dolor neuropático permanece con un insuficiente alivio del dolor. Este hecho exige otras opciones de tratamiento para abordar el dolor neuropático crónico. Para evaluar la hipótesis de que una clasificación basada en el mecanismo puede ayudar a mejorar el tratamiento de pacientes individuales, se necesitan ensayos farmacológicos de gran escala que apunten a identificar los posibles subgrupos de pacientes que tengan probabilidades de responder a drogas específicas.

Authors: Contreras-Domínguez Víctor , Nieuwveld Daniela , Carbonell Paulina
Published: April 2024

La analgesia preventiva, la que se administra previa al acto quirúrgico con el fin de evitar o modular el desarrollo tanto del dolor agudo posoperatorio como del crónico, constituye un área de desarrollo dentro del estudio del dolor. Numerosos autores y estudios multicéntricos han tratado de avalar o descartar el uso de la analgesia preventiva. Presentamos una revisión actualizada de los conceptos relacionados con la analgesia preventiva y el dolor posoperatorio. Se analizan, además, las distintas modalidades de analgesia preventiva actualmente en uso y se establece que este tipo de manejo analgésico constituye un desafío actual, que debe motivarnos a realizar nuevos estudios que integren los conceptos aprendidos y nos permitan establecer una estrategia analgésica que optimice los resultados perioperatorios.

Examen del alcance revisor de las resoluciones de los Tribunales Económico-Administrativos Regionales
Authors: Banacloche Palao Carmen
Published: April 2024

En este comentario se analiza una compleja Resolución del Tribunal Económico-Administrativo Central (TEAC) de 12 de diciembre de 2023 en la que el tribunal unifica criterios respecto de dos aspectos tributarios diferentes:
• De carácter formal: se refiere a los efectos derivados de una resolución económico-administrativa que anula un acto administrativo (de gestión, inspección o recaudación) por motivos de forma, ordenando la retroacción de actuaciones. En este caso, el órgano económico-administrativo no puede pronunciarse sobre las cuestiones de fondo. Ahora bien, cuando la resolución del órgano económico-administrativo inferior es recurrida en alzada ante el TEAC, este hace una serie de matizaciones a la vista del principio jurídico que prohíbe la reformatio in peius, que analizaremos detalladamente en el trabajo.
• De naturaleza sustantiva: respecto a la responsabilidad tributaria solidaria por ocultación de bienes del artículo 42.2 a) de la Ley general tributaria, el TEAC concreta el alcance de la responsabilidad en el caso de que la ocultación afecte a los ingresos de una actividad económica, alcance que abarcará hasta el límite del valor de los bienes que se hubieran podido embargar (esto es, el valor del dinero ocultado), sin restar cantidad alguna en concepto de gastos necesarios para la obtención de los ingresos.
As extensões semânticas das onomatopeias japonesas: metáforas verbais e pictóricas
Authors: Domingues dos Santos Silvio
Published: April 2024

O presente artigo propõe apresentar uma visão geral dos aspectos das onomatopeias japonesas, muito presente nos mangás japoneses, bem como a análise de suas extensões semânticas advindas via metáfora conceptual (Lakoff e Johnson, 1980). Tomoda (1984) demonstrou o caráter mais abstrato que as onomatopeias podem apresentar em determinados contextos discursivo-verbal, no entanto, entendemos que além da modalidade mencionada, metáforas pictóricas (Forceville,1996) também podem desempenhar papel fundamental nesse enriquecimento semântico. Na metáfora pictórica, há um texto verbal e um termo invocado pictoriamente por meio do contexto, propiciando assim uma reinterpretação do texto verbal.

LEADING SAAS INNOVATION WITHIN U.S. REGULATORY BOUNDARIES: THE ROLE OF TPMS IN NAVIGATING COMPLIANCE
Authors: Excel G Chukwurah
Published: April 2024

The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) industry in the United States operates within a complex regulatory landscape, including data protection laws, intellectual property regulations, and industry-specific compliance requirements. This review explores the role of Technology Policy Managers (TPMs) in guiding SaaS companies to innovate while staying compliant with these regulations. SaaS companies are constantly innovating to meet the evolving needs of their customers and stay ahead in a competitive market. However, this innovation often intersects with regulatory boundaries that can impact product development and deployment. TPMs play a crucial role in navigating these boundaries by understanding and interpreting relevant regulations, ensuring that SaaS products comply with legal requirements. One of the key challenges for SaaS companies is data protection compliance, including regulations such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). TPMs help SaaS companies implement privacy-by-design principles, ensuring that data protection is embedded into product development from the outset. This proactive approach not only helps companies comply with regulations but also enhances user trust and satisfaction. TPMs also play a crucial role in managing intellectual property (IP) risks in SaaS innovation. They help companies understand and protect their IP rights, ensuring that innovations are not infringing on existing patents or copyrights. TPMs work closely with legal teams to assess and mitigate IP risks, allowing SaaS companies to innovate confidently while respecting the rights of others. In addition to data protection and IP issues, TPMs help SaaS companies navigate industry-specific regulations and standards. For example, in the healthcare industry, SaaS companies must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which sets standards for the protection of patient health information. TPMs ensure that SaaS products meet these standards, enabling companies to enter and succeed in regulated markets. In conclusion, TPMs play a vital role in leading SaaS innovation within U.S. regulatory boundaries. By understanding and navigating complex regulations, TPMs help SaaS companies innovate responsibly, ensuring compliance while driving growth and success in the dynamic SaaS industry.

Published: April 2024

The article presents the results of a study on the role and place of corporate social responsibility, understood as the organisation’s responsibility for the impact of its decisions and actions on society and the environment, in the practice of public relations in Poland. In addition to the theoretical part, an important component is the results of a quantitative research, conducted among public relations professionals in September/October 2021 on a sample of 421 people. The selection of the sample was purposeful, however, it allowed us to collect information from both practitioners and researchers in the field of PR. The objective of the article is to indicate the essence and importance of conducting CSR activities in the public relations industry, as well as to identify the changes that take place in the area of CSR activities undertaken by public relations practitioners. The results also indicate that ethical values are receiving an increasing importance in decision-making processes with an increasing role and the importance of public awareness. Properly implemented public relations activities improve a company’s method and quality of dialogue with the society, which becomes increasingly important in the context of satisfying both business and social needs.

The general objective of this research was to assess the effect of human resources management on project success with the case of Building learning foundation project implemented by Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) in Rulindo District of Rwanda. The target population was involving project beneficiaries, project implementers, and stakeholders including local authorities. The primary and secondary data were collected and the following data collection methods were used: documentary analysis, questionnaire and interview guide. Secondary data were collected with documentary analysis while primary data were collected through the use of questionnaires and interview guide. Data were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative data were analyzed using narrative and thematic methods while Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics with correlation and regression analysis methods.  The statistical program for social sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 was used to examine quantitative data in order to facilitate mathematical computations because doing it manually would be time-consuming and error-prone. Human Resource Management: (β: 0.628, t: 9.721, Sig.: 0.000) human resource management has a positive effect with project success. For every one-unit increase in human resource management, Project success is estimated to increase by 0.628 units. The regression analysis indicates that human resource management significantly affects the success of the Building Learning Foundation (BLF) project. Providing ongoing training and development opportunities can ensure that personnel have the skills and knowledge to excel in their roles, ultimately contributing to the project's success.
Effects of rosemary essential oil on the milk production and fatty acid profiles of ewes fed oat hay or silage

Abstract. Milk and dairy products are among daily-consumed foods in most countries. However, milk production and characteristics depend mainly on animal feeding and additives. The basic feeding corresponds to green or conserved forage and concentrate. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a conserved oat forage form (hay, H, or silage, S) and rosemary essential oils (REO) as additives on milk production and the fatty acid (FA) profile of Sicilo-Sarde dairy sheep. Forty-eight lactating Sicilo-Sarde ewes were ranked into four homogenous groups. Two groups were fed oat hay (H) and the other group oat silage (S) ad libitum. All the ewes were supplemented with 600 g d−1 of concentrate. Within each form of forage, one group of ewes received a control concentrate, and the other group received the REO concentrate. The milk yield was not affected by REO intake but tended to be higher (P=0.07) for oat hay than for silage (570 vs. 510 mL d−1). The milk protein content was greater for oat silage than hay diets (5.8 vs. 5.3 %), given that the silage form contains more crude protein. In addition, the silage form of forage improved the milk FA profile, with higher C18:3n−3 (0.70 vs. 0.45 %) long-chain FA and polyunsaturated FA (PUFA) n3 proportions and a lower PUFA n-6/n-3 dietetic ratio (P<0.05). The milk of ewes receiving REO contained a lower percentage of vaccenic acid and n−6 PUFA but a higher percentage of n−3 PUFA and consequently lower n6/n3 (2.56) and PUFA / SFA (P<0.05) ratios. In conclusion, REO could be recommended for dairy ewes fed silage to improve the nutritional quality of their milk for human consumption.
Lifecycle of updrafts and mass flux in isolated deep convection over the Amazon rainforest: insights from cell tracking

Abstract. Long-term observations of deep convective cloud (DCC) vertical velocity and mass flux were collected during the Observations and Modelling of the Green Ocean Amazon (GoAmazon2014/5) experiment. Precipitation echoes from a surveillance weather radar near Manaus, Brazil, are tracked to identify and evaluate the isolated DCC lifecycle evolution during the dry and wet seasons. A radar wind profiler (RWP) provides precipitation and air motion profiles to estimate the vertical velocity, mass flux, and mass transport rates within overpassing DCC cores as a function of the tracked cell lifecycle stage. The average radar reflectivity factor (Z), DCC area (A), and surface rainfall rate (R) increased with DCC lifetime as convective cells were developing, reached a peak as the cells matured, and decreased thereafter as cells dissipated. As the convective cells mature, cumulative DCC properties exhibit stronger updraft behaviors with higher upward mass flux and transport rates above the melting layer (compared with initial and later lifecycle stages). In comparison, developing DCCs have the lowest Z associated with weak updrafts, as well as negative mass flux and transport rates above the melting layer. Over the DCC lifetime, the height of the maximum downward mass flux decreased, whereas the height of the maximum net mass flux increased. During the dry season, the tracked DCCs had higher Z, propagation speed, and DCC area, and were more isolated spatially compared with the wet season. Dry season DCCs exhibit higher Z, mass flux, and mass transport rate while developing, whereas wet season DCCs exhibit higher Z, mass flux, and mass transport rates at later stages.
