In light of the size of activity practiced by the General Company for the Distribution of Central Electricity through the distribution of electrical energy to six Iraqi provinces, there must be an important role for internal control in monitoring this activity. Hence, the present study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of internal control in the company and its branches in light of the ethical code for senior officials contained in the Sarbanes- Oxley Act in addition to some other requirements that were dealt with by the law. The analysis of the data is based on some requirements in the law  In addition to a questionnaire prepared for this purpose to measure the application of the code of ethical conduct for senior officials and to demonstrate the effectiveness of an efficient internal control system. 85 questionnaire forms were distributed to workers in the control, internal auditing, and accounting departments of the company and its branches. 74 forms were suitable for analysis. The present study concludes that there are indications that the internal control system is not independent in the provinces electricity distribution companies and the subsidiary companies. It is mentioned in the organizational structure of the company that the control and auditing department is subordinate to the director of the company and his/her assistants, and that it is not directly related to the official of the control and auditing department at the company's headquarters, which may cause conflict in  Interests and lack of coordination in control procedures.
Ecological footprint as a tool for change of individual attitudes toward the environment and better education for sustainability
Authors: Veselaj Zeqir , Berisha Shahin
Published: April 2022

One of the most direct and easy to be use indicators of individual sustainability to date is the Ecological Footprint. The Ecological footprint measures how much bio productive area (whether land or water) a population would need to produce to sustain the renewable resources it consumes, and to absorb the waste it generates. The purpose of this research is, in addition to a self-assessment of the students' knowledge about the basic concepts of individual sustainability such Ecological footprint, biocapacity, Carbon footprint, Water footprint and Earth Overshoot Day, to undertake the first calculation of the individual ecological footprint in Kosovo. The research hypothesis was that the Ecological footprint of our group would be below the global average of 2.8 global hectares (gha). The sample of this research consists of 240 students of the Faculty of Education, University of Prishtina.

With this calculation, students have shown their individual impact in the environment according to their lifestyle: housing, food, travel, purchase of goods and how much waste they generate. The data have shown that the average Ecological footprint of the sample is 3.4 gha, with a minimum value of 2.5 gha and a maximum of 5.3 gha. This figure is 0.6 gha above the global average Ecological footprint and larger than three neighboring countries of Kosovo. The largest percentage of the group's footprint is transportation, followed by housing, food, waste, and purchases of goods.

Published: April 2022

This study discusses the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the HoReCa industry and how it has affected employee job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is a positive emotional state that consists of the employee's personal opinion on personal work or work climate, a state of equity that the individual reaches when he fully meets certain needs or expectations. In this study, we wanted to see exactly how the pandemic affected the employees and their job satisfaction by giving them questionnnaires that evaluate their satisfaction in the current situation.The study found that there was no significant difference between women and men in terms of job satisfaction, that there was no correlation between education level and job satisfaction and that there was no correlation between the position held in the hierarchy and job satisfaction.The current pandemic context has affected many HoReCa employees due to the fact that they can no longer operate due to the closure of restaurants, bars, limiting tourist access to hotels. Thus, job satisfaction is low because the quality of the job has also decreased.The Horeca sector is particularly fragile and vulnerable to economic cycles and shocks, as the current health pandemic has shown.The study also had a number of limitations imposed by the online evaluation method, the generalization of the results and the experience of the participants.

Authors: Arboleda Daniel John D. , Singson Deborah Natalia E.
Published: April 2022

With the increasing number of single-father family households worldwide, there is a need to conduct substantial research to provide sufficient information about this understudied population. This qualitative phenomenological study seeks to describe, explore and interpret the lived experiences of emerging adult single fathers on parenting. It utilized the purposive and snowballing sampling techniques to select the participants. The data were gathered through face-to-face interviews guided by interview protocol. Lichtman's 3 C's of Data Analysis was employed to generate themes extracted from participants' verbatim transcripts. Five themes emerged from their lived experiences: Providing Care and Nurturance, Rearing One's Child Properly, Dealing with Drawbacks in Single Fatherhood, Receiving Relief from Empathic Hands, and Appreciating Blissful Moments in Solitary Parenting. The findings provided insights that a transformation is required to adjust to their current situation and, most significantly, to change for their children's sake. To conclude, single fathers can truly nurture and raise their children with tenderness, warmth, care, and affection like single mothers and dual-household families. Given the limitations of this qualitative research, quantitative research is suggested for further research to create a comprehensive intervention program for mental health professionals to promote single fathers' quality of life

Pourfour Du Petit and the cervical sympathetic nerves
Authors:   Hull Royal Infirmary, Hull, UK, JMS Pearce
Published: April 2022

François Pourfour du Petit (1664-1741) was a Parisian experimental Neuroanatomist, and Ophthalmologist. Based on his extensive experiences of brain and spinal injuries as a military doctor in the armies of Louis XIV he performed many animal experiments that demonstrated the anatomy and functional significance of the cervical sympathetic nerves, correcting previous errors of Thomas Willis and Raymond Vieussens. He long predated the descriptions of Horner’s syndrome (1869) when he showed that interruption of sympathetic pathways inactivated both the dilator muscle and produces miosis, and the superior tarsal muscle, which produces ptosis and enophthalmos. This was later elaborated by Hare, Weir Mitchell and Claude Bernard.

Mucoceles of the sphenoid sinus act as benign lesions and can result in bony erosion from within its confinity of the sinus to the intracranial and orbital spaces 1. Disease restricted to the sphenoid sinus is rare and often manifests with nonspecific or subtle signs and symptoms. Early and accurate diagnosis of sphenoid sinus disease may thus be difficult. Otolaryngologists must have a thorough knowledge of the spectrum of sphenoid sinus disease and the radiologic characteristics to manage these patients properly 2. The increased use of endoscopy in routine examination and advances in techniques of imaging this area will result in the more frequent diagnosis of these lesions 3. We herewith report a 26-year, female patient, who presented with left-sided nasal obstruction with headache confined to the frontal and occipital region for 6 months. Diagnostic nasal endoscopy showed multiple, pale polyps filling the left nasal cavity with the normal right nasal cavity. Non-contrast Computed tomography of the nose and paranasal sinuses showed, left pansinusitis with? left sphenoidal mucocele showing heterogeneous density. The patient underwent left Functional endoscopic sinus surgery with polypectomy. Intra-op showed fungal debris filling the sphenoid and polyps noted in the frontal, ethmoidal and maxillary sinus. KOH was positive for fungal elements. With regular follow up, no evidence of recurrence to date. Variable nonspecific symptoms and the complex anatomy of the sphenoid sinus tend to delay the diagnosis resulting in a poor prognosis. Keywords: Mucocele, Sphenoid, Polypoidal

Published: April 2022

Os parâmetros morfométricos constituem importantes indicadores no diagnóstico de bacias hidrográficas com risco a enchentes, além de ajudar no planejamento e gestão ambiental e territorial de cidades. Assim, este artigo buscou aplicar parâmetros morfométricos à bacia do rio da Batateira e de três de suas sub-bacias, localizadas no Estado do Ceará, a fim de esclarecer se elas são suscetíveis a enchentes. Para isto, foram realizados os cálculos dos índices morfométricos em Modelos Digitais de Elevação (MDE) elaborados a partir do processamento de dados SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission). Os índices obtidos foram o coeficiente de compacidade, o fator de forma, o índice de circularidade e a declividade do relevo. A análise de sistemas climático-meteorológicos atuantes na área em 2011 e 2012, anos de maior excedente hídrico, foi realizada através de consulta bibliográfica em meios digitais (sites de noticiários e blogs de notícias regionais). Foi verificado que sem a influência antrópica e em condições normais de precipitação, as bacias hidrográficas analisadas não são suscetíveis a enchentes, sendo estas o resultado de eventos considerados de alta magnitude e fora dos padrões de normalidade, associados a problemas ambientais ocasionados pelas formas de usos e ocupações da terra.

Published: April 2022

Desde tempos remotos, a humanidade busca promover a gestão da água para atender as diversas necessidades e interesses. Neste sentido, surge no Brasil, especialmente no início do século XX, ações governamentais voltadas à “Modernização na gestão hídrica” pautada na construção de grandes reservatórios e hidrelétricas, visando represar as águas fluviais com o intuito de promover os usos múltiplos das águas, a saber: abastecimento público, geração de energia, controle de enchentes, e atividades agropecuárias e industriais. Todavia, as grandes obras hidráulicas geraram grandes impactos sociais, econômicos e ambientais. Diante disso, o presente trabalho objetivou discutir sobre a construção de barragens/hidrelétrica e seus conflitos correlacionados às comunidades tradicionais e indígenas. Para tanto, foram realizadas – em espaços de pesquisas localizados nos Estados do Ceará, Pernambuco e Paraíba - estudos documentais, pesquisas de campo e entrevistas com comunidades que enfrentam problemas em função da promoção de grandes obras hidráulicas. Com os estudos, pode-se denotar divergência de interesses e necessidades, além da existência de conflitos socioculturais relacionados à desterritorialização, e aos impactos econômicos e ambientais advindos da construção de grandes represas d’água.

Published: April 2022

Electric energy, which is needed in all areas of life, plays an important role in raising the development level of the society. The demand for renewable energy sources has increased due to the continuous increase in energy need and the exhaustion of non-renewable energy sources. Micro-grids, which emerged as a solution to energy cuts and infrastructure problems in rural areas and areas far from the grid, are small energy grids that can operate independently or independently from the grid. In this study, micro-grids and the advantages of micro-grids, together with the energy production provided by micro-grids, are examined. Being a new energy source and being able to work independently from the grid is the most important feature of the micro grid. Therefore, the working principle of micro hydroelectric power generation systems and wind energy systems and the advantages of the micro grid are indicated by giving examples on their different aspects from other systems. In the MATLAB/SIMULINK program, a wind and micro hydro-electric hybrid power generation system model was designed and the simulation results were specified.

Lagrangian trajectories are frequently used to trace air parcels from the troposphere to the stratosphere through the tropical tropopause layer (TTL), and the coldest temperatures of these trajectories have been used to reconstruct water vapor variability in the lower stratosphere, where water vapor’s radiative impact on Earth’s surface is strongest. As such, the ability of these trajectories to accurately capture temperatures encountered by parcels in the TTL is crucial to water vapor reconstructions and calculations of water vapor’s radiative forcing. A potential source of error for trajectory calculations is the resolution of the input data. Here, we explore how improving the temporal and spatial resolution of model input data impacts the temperatures measured by Lagrangian trajectories that cross the TTL during boreal winter using ERA5 reanalysis data. We do so by comparing the temperature distribution of trajectories computed with data downsampled in either space or time to those computed with ERA5's maximum resolution. We find that improvements in temporal resolution from 6 hour to 3 or 1 hour lower the cold point temperature distribution, with the mean cold point temperature decreasing from 185.9 K to 185.0 K or 184.5 K for trajectories run during boreal winters of 2010 to 2019, while improvements to vertical resolution from that of MERRA2 data (the GEOS5 model grid) to full ERA5 resolution also lower the distribution but are of secondary importance, and improvements in horizontal resolution from 1° x 1° to 0.5° x 0.5° or 0.25° x 0.25° have negligible impacts. We suggest that this is caused by excess vertical dispersion near the tropopause when temporal resolution is degraded, which allows trajectories to cross the TTL without passing through the coldest regions, and by undersampling of the four--dimensional temperature field when either temporal or vertical resolution is reduced.

Abstract. Smallholder farming systems in southern Africa are characterized by low-input management and integrated livestock and crop production. Low yields and dry-season feed shortages are common. To meet growing food demands, sustainable intensification (SI) of these systems is an important policy goal. While mixed crop-livestock farming may offer greater productivity, it implies trade-offs between feed supply, soil nutrient replenishment, soil carbon accumulation, and other ecosystem functions and services. Such settings require a detailed systems understanding to assess the performance of prevalent management practices and identify potential SI strategies. Models can evaluate different management scenarios on extensive spatio-temporal scales and help identify suitable management strategies. Here, we linked the process-based models APSIM for cropland and aDGVM2 for rangeland to investigate the effects of (i) current management practices, (ii) a SI scenario for crop production, and (iii) a scenario with separated rangeland and cropland management in two representative villages of the Limpopo province, South Africa, for the period 2000–2010. Village surveys informed the models of farming practices, livelihood conditions, and environmental circumstances. We found that modest SI measures (manure application, small fertilizer quantities, weeding, crop rotation) led to moderate yield increases but could cause increased water limitation effects in dry years. SI effects therefore strongly varied between years. Dry-season crop residue grazing substantially reduced feed deficits, but could not compensate severe feed deficits during the transition period from dry to wet season. Targeted irrigation or measures to improve water retention and soil water holding capacity may enhance SI efforts. Off-field residue feeding during the dry-to-wet season transition could further reduce feed deficits and reduce grazing pressure on rangeland during the early growing season. We argue that integrative modeling frameworks are needed to evaluate landscape-level interactions between ecosystem components, evaluate the climate resilience of landscape-level ecosystem services, and identify effective mitigation and adaptation strategies. Dedicated to the memory of our esteemed colleague Marian Koch.

Abstract. The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) widely modulates the global carbon cycle, in particular, by altering the net uptake of carbon in the tropical ocean. Indeed, over the tropics less carbon is released by oceans during El Niño while it is the opposite for La Niña. Here, the skill of Earth System Models (ESM) from the latest Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) to simulate the observed tropical Pacific CO2 flux variability in response to ENSO is assessed. The temporal amplitude and spatial extent of CO2 flux anomalies vary considerably among models, while the surface temperature signals of El Niño and La Niña phases are generally well represented. Under historical conditions followed by the high warming Shared Socio-economic Pathway (SSP5-8.5) scenarios, about half the ESMs simulate a reversal in ENSO-CO2 flux relationship. This gradual shift, which occurs as early as the first half of the 21st century, is associated with a high CO2-induced increase in Revelle factor that leads to stronger sensitivity of partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) to changes in surface temperature between ENSO phases. At the same time, uptake of anthropogenic CO2 substantially increases upper ocean dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations, reducing its vertical gradient in the thermocline, and weakening the ENSO-modulated surface DIC variability. The response of ENSO-CO2 flux relationship to future climate change is sensitive to the contemporary mean state of the carbonate ion concentration in the tropics. Models that simulate shift in ENSO-CO2 flux relationship simulate positive bias in surface carbonate concentration.
Performance Analysis Internet of Things Based on Sensor and Data Analytics
Authors: Alamgir Muhammad Bilal
Published: April 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a transformative development. Sensors are known in scientific science as a prospective field. IoT sensors are used successfully to develop an intelligent world in different IoT implementations. To make a familiar operating image, ubiquitous sensing abilities provide shared knowledge. IoT systems can fail if one of the sensors stops working due to any failure, which causes serious living problems to some families. Thus, the problem consists of predicting when the subsequent loss will occur. A two-phase approach is proposed. First, an exploration of the provided data will take place. The purpose of such analysis is threefold: (1) to get familiar with the data, (2) to assess the quality of data and decide which methodology to employ accordingly, (3) to determine the features of interest. This research will serve as the basis for further theoretical work in the same field in the prospect. Analyzing these sensor-derived data is an important task that can find valuable latent information in addition to the data itself. Since the Internet of Things includes some sensors, the measurement data obtained by these sensors are multi-type data, often including information from the time series. Depending on the configuration flow rate, vibration, impeller speed, and even temperature, the sensors with solid correlation can be closely correlated with some delay involved. Data ranges investigation was done before correlation check. Results indicate that our procedure is accurate for the machine's regular, damaged, and recovering state.

Ouvir o território e pensar por outras (geo)grafias: territorialidades em r-existência à mineração na Amazônia
Authors: Malheiro Bruno
Published: April 2022

O ideário de desenvolvimento da Amazônia encontrou nos Grandes Projetos de Mineração um mecanismo capaz de suspender toda a diversidade regional, em nome de uma geografia mais “racional”. Este artigo problematiza esse processo, tomando como campo empírico de análise a diversidade territorial do corredor Carajás-Itaqui, para pluralizar os sentidos de um espaço pensado, unicamente, para seguir os tempos financeirizados das commodities. Mais do que analisar as tecnologias políticas de exceção que normalizam os fluxos capitalistas de matéria e energia, tomamos distintas territorialidades em r-existência à mineração em Carajás como imperativo político e epistêmico a demonstrar que os caminhos do ferro na Amazônia, também são caminhos indígenas, quilombolas, camponeses, pescadores. Essas experiências de alteridade, marcadas na expressividade do território-floresta indígena, na territorialização dos sons dos Awá-Guajá, nos territórios do cuidado quilombola, nos territórios de uso comum das quebradeiras de coco babaçu e na territorialidade de pescadores, não são apenas modos de pensar distintos, mas também diferentes modos de sentipensar o espaço, outras ontologias que nos apresentam outro repertório geográfico e político.

O objetivo do estudo foi identificar e analisar aspectos da governança da Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) em articulação com seus diversos grupos de interesse diante do contexto pandêmico da COVID-19. Os dados foram coletados de mídias digitais da instituição entre março e agosto de 2020 e submetidos a análise do discurso.  Foram catalogados 35 documentos (8 informes, 13 notícias, 2 notas e 12 postagens no site e em redes sociais oficiais). Os documentos foram categorizados em processos decisórios, demandas, ações e anseios. A CBF tentou responder aos impactos da pandemia articulando discursos que perpassam a dimensão emocional e afetiva de vinculação ao futebol como parte da identidade nacional, bem como vinculados à perspectiva mercadológica do futebol profissional.
Capoeira e o fenômeno esportivo: um diálogo histórico cultural
Authors: Gustavo Normanton Beltrame Luis
Published: April 2022

Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo uma reflexão acerca dos papeis historicamente e culturalmente construídos pela Capoeira e seu processo de diálogo junto ao fenômeno do esporte. Trata-se de uma abordagem qualitativa baseada em revisão de literatura a luz da sociologia do esporte. As discussões do esporte se configuraram em dois contextos: de alto rendimento e esporte enquanto atividade de lazer. A Capoeira vincula-se ao esporte na tentativa de eliminar o perfil marginalizado, estabelecer um olhar nacionalista e controle social. Observa-se que os valores inseridos a capoeira ao longo de sua trajetória cultural respondem contrariamente a tentativa de homogeneização e alienação corporal em sua prática popular.
