Pretende-se com este artigo, analisar as percepções dos professores, alunos, gestor e da comunidade sobre as condições de funcionamento e de ser membro do conselho de escola, no contexto Moçambicano. O estudo foi desenvolvido numa das escolas primárias do distrito de Lichinga, Província de Niassa - Moçambique. Para tal optou-se pela pesquisa qualitativa com suporte bibliográfico. Para a recolha de dados foi aplicada a técnica de entrevista semiestruturada dirigida aos representantes dos professores, da comunidade, dos alunos, ao presidente do Conselho de Escola e ao Diretor da escola. Os dados foram analisados usando a técnica de análise de conteúdo. O estudo mostrou haver, no seio dos atores da educação, conhecimento sobre o que é Conselho de Escola embora falte, junto destes, o saber sobre as condições para fazer parte desse órgão. Constatou-se também que há condições materiais para o funcionamento do Conselho de Escola, mas a ausência de capacitação para os membros deste órgão constitui um dos problemas na gestão participativa dos membros do Conselho de Escola. Por isso é necessário melhorar as condições materiais e de formação para garantir o funcionamento pleno dos Conselhos de Escola.

Key success factors and competitiveness of the food processing industry: Insights from a qualitative study
Authors: Boonklum Nongnuch
Published: December 2023

The key success factors (KSFs) are requirements for competitiveness in the food industry, especially for Thai food processing exporters. This research aims to identify and explore the KSFs that provide an operating framework of the KSFs as contributing to business success and empirically develop analytical KSFs. The methodology applied in this research was qualitative based on in-depth case-study designs with two successful Thai exporters and senior managers with varying experiences through interviews and secondary research such as media reports and internal documents. The constant comparative method analyzed the data using Corbin and Strauss’ (2008) techniques to determine and analyze the data with four stages. The results showed that the KSFs were resources (human resources, physical resources, and financial resources); capabilities (marketing capability); including competitiveness (product efficiency). This aligns with prior research, notably Ghosh et al. (2001), who asserted that these factors constitute the essential requisites for triumph in a particular market. This viewpoint is further substantiated by the works of Barney et al. (2011), and Ferreira and Fernandes (2017), which emphasize the substantial impact of tangible and intangible resources and a firm’s capabilities on both its profitability and overall market performance. The benefits from this research are enormous in successfully implementing the export management strategy, which can be applied in other contexts in Thailand’s food processing industry.

This research aims to analyze vessel crew rotation during the COVID-19 pandemic at a national shipping company. Before the pandemic, vessel crew recruitment was carried out based on company procedures safely and on time. In contrast to when the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, the vessel crew recruitment and rotation system significantly changed. Concerns about being infected with the deadly COVID-19 virus have made vessel crew rotations unpredictable and scheduled on time. Mapping and identification of vessel crew rotation variables dynamically using the causal loop diagram (CLD) technique. This model shows that the vessel crew rotation process requires handling, quick adjustments to the existing situation, and planning strategies on the vessel crew rotation during this pandemic. The CLD analysis results show that in systems thinking, vessel crew performance and company performance have the highest impact. The delay in implementing and handling the vessel crew rotation will affect the company’s reputation. Also, it may result in the termination of collaboration between the company and the recruitment agency, resulting in distrust in the company.
Seroprevalence and risk factors of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia in Horo Guduru Wallagga zone, Western Ethiopia
Authors: Mosisa Tekilu , Hirpa Eyob , Kebede Abraham
Published: December 2023

Livestock diseases pose a major threat to animal health and farmer
livelihoods in Ethiopia. Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is a major
threat. It is caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides. This bacterial
infection affects cattle and causes pneumonia. To assess the current
situation, a study was conducted in Horo Guduru Wallagga, Ethiopia. The main
objectives were to determine the seroprevalence of CBPP in cattle and
evaluate farmer knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to the disease.
Cross-sectional studies were conducted from October 2019 up to June 2020.
Blood samples were collected and tested for antibodies against M. mycoides
using a cELISA test from cattle (n = 768). Questionnaires were also
administered to farmers (n = 20 households) in three districts. The
seroprevalence results showed 14.3% of cattle were positive for CBPP
antibodies. CBPP seroprevalence was 16.4% in Abe Dongoro, 13.6% in Hababu
Guduru, and 10.8% in Guduru. The seroprevalence among the three districts
surveyed did not show statistically significant differences. The majority of
respondents (77%) were male and the minority (23%) were female. The farmer
survey revealed knowledge gaps; only 4.5% of respondents recognized CBPP as
a disease causing reduced growth and productivity. In conclusion, this study
found a high CBPP seroprevalence, indicating active infection, in the cattle
population sampled. Targeted education and disease control efforts are
needed to curb the further spread of CBPP. The questionnaire results
highlight the need for farmer training on CBPP risks, prevention, and
treatment. Ultimately, collaborative strategies are required to safeguard
animal health and livelihoods in this region.

Published: December 2023

Objective: C-peptide and islet autoantibodies are key type 1 diabetes biomarkers, typically requiring venous sampling, which limit their utility. We assessed transdermal capillary blood (TCB) collection as a practical alternative.

Research Design and methods: Ninety-one individuals (71 type 1 diabetes, 20 controls; type 1 diabetes: aged median 14.8 years[interquartile range 9.1-17.1]; diabetes duration 4.0 years[1.5-7.7]; controls 42.2 years[38.0-52.1]) underwent contemporaneous venous and TCB sampling for measurement of plasma C-peptide. Type 1 diabetes participants also provided venous serum and plasma, and TCB plasma for measurement of autoantibodies to glutamate decarboxylase, islet antigen-2, and zinc transporter 8. The ability of TCB plasma to detect significant endogenous insulin secretion (venous C-peptide ≥200pmol/L) was compared along with agreement in levels using Bland-Altman. Venous serum was compared with venous and TCB plasma for detection of autoantibodies using established thresholds. Acceptability was assessed by age-appropriate questionnaire.

Results: Transdermal sampling took a mean of 2.35minutes (SD 1.49). Median sample volume was 50 µl(IQR 40-50) with 3/91(3.3%) failures, and 13/88(14.7%) <35 µL). TCB C-peptide showed good agreement to venous plasma (mean venous ln(C-peptide) – TCB ln(C-peptide) = 0.008, 95% CI(-0.23, 0.29), with 100%(36/36) sensitivity/100%(50/50) specificity to detect venous C-peptide ≥ 200pmol/L. Where venous serum in multiple autoantibody positive TCB plasma agreed in 22/32 (sensitivity 69%), comparative specificity was 35/36 (97%). TCB was preferred to venous sampling (type 1 diabetes: 63% vs 7%; 30% undecided).

Conclusions: Transdermal capillary testing for C-peptide is a sensitive, specific, and acceptable alternative to venous sampling, TCB sampling for islet autoantibodies needs further assessment.

Performance of Primary Health Centres, Provider’s Perspective of Wellbeing, and Patient’s Assessment of the Centres Using a New Tool in Bangalore, India: An empirical study
Authors: Bangalore Sathyananda Rajeshwari , De Rijk Angelique , Manjunath Usha , Krumeich Anja , Van Schayck, Onno
Published: December 2023

Background: Primary healthcare in India comprises health promotion and preventive health interventions at the population level, which are rendered at dedicated centres called Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs). The performance of PHCs is vital for overall improvement in the general health of the population, specifically in a low- and middle-income country like India. It is unknown how performance at the centre level is related to performance at the provider and patient levels. The aim of this study is to explore patterns in the performance of three PHCs with a low, medium and the high number of babies delivered.

Methodology: Primary and secondary data from the three selected PHCs were collected. Two questionnaire studies were done: one on the well-being of providers (Quality of Life and Engagement), and another on PHC performance as assessed by patients using the newly developed tool ‘Questionnaire for Patient’s Perspective on Performance of Primary Healthcare Centres’. The data from the centre, provider and patient levels were compared across the three centres using ANOVA tests.

Results: The new tool had high internal consistency at Cronbach’s alpha score of 0.938. It was found that the PHC with the least delivery had significantly higher PHC performance in comparison with high and medium-delivery PHCs (p<0.000).

Conclusion: The PHC performance assessment from multiple perspectives offers a realistic insight into the centres, which is valid even though agreement on the various perspectives could not be obtained. The new Q4PHC is a reliable instrument to assess PHC performance from the patient’s perspective.

La España Paralela de Santiago Abascal. Divergencias narrativas en las elecciones generales de 2019
Authors: Riccardi Nicola
Published: December 2023

Este artículo ofrece un análisis del discurso digital producido por el líder de Vox, Santiago Abascal, durante el periodo comprendido entre abril y noviembre de 2019, en el que esta fuerza política encontró por primera vez representación parlamentaria. Mediante un enfoque metodológico que combina el análisis lexicométrico del discurso y el análisis histórico contextual (Robin, 1973), se intenta arrojar luz sobre la actitud de Abascal hacia sus principales adversarios políticos. Si en un artículo publicado anteriormente y relacionado con este periodo electoral (Renobell, 2021), el discurso digital es visto en el plano de la despersonalización y unidireccionalidad de los discursos, en esta contribución nos centramos en el análisis semántico y retórico. Las preguntas a las que se intenta dar respuesta mediante un enfoque empírico a los textos son las siguientes: ¿Qué características retóricas posee el discurso de Abascal en Twitter? ¿Qué especificidades semánticas posee en comparación con otros líderes del partido? ¿Cómo construye Abascal su ethos discursivo? ¿Qué actitud muestra frente a los adversarios políticos? El análisis revela un uso generalizado de la hipérbole, un amplio empleo de la sinécdoque y destaca la construcción del ethos discursivo por parte de Santiago Abascal en consonancia con la misión “patriótica” del partido.

El parangón de la belleza femenina con el reino animal en la poesía árabe clásica
Authors: Salman Alqahtani Ahmad
Published: December 2023

En toda la literatura árabe hay abundantes ejemplos de un fenómeno que podría llamarse “analogía de la hermosura”. Generalmente, estas comparaciones constituyen alegorías en las que reiterados rasgos de una mujer ideal son equiparados con características hermosas de ciertos animales, sin que el motivo de dicha asociación quede elucidado. La notable presencia de tales analogías en la tradición árabe, tanto en la poesía como en la lexicografía, denota una extensa tópica literaria más que un mero recurso estilístico aislado. Este artículo pretende exponer e identificar dichas manifestaciones literarias, así como sugerir posibles explicaciones acerca de su razón de ser en la tradición y la cultura árabes.
M/F ratios of four different closing loops: 3D analysis using the finite element method (FEM)
Authors: Safavi Mohammad Reza , Geramy Allahyar , Khezri Amir Kamyar
Published: December 2023

Background

It has been claimed that the opus loop is capable of delivering a constant and optimum M/F ratio without the need for gable bends.

Objective

To compare the forces, moments and moment/force (M/F) ratios of the opus loop, L–loop, T–loop and vertical helical closing loop (VHC loop) in a segmented arch with the finite element method (FEM).

Methods

The FEM was used to compare 3D models of closing loops in rectangular (0.016 x 0.022 inch) stainless steel wire. The L–, T– and VHC loops were designed with and without preactivation bends. The opus loop had no preactivation bends.

The T–Loops were 10 mm in height and 10 mm in length. The horizontal and vertical forces, the moments and the M/F ratios at the alpha and beta ends were recorded at 0, 0.1, 0.4, 0.7 and 1 mm intervals.

Results

The highest horizontal and vertical forces were produced by the L–loop (with and without preactivation bends) and in most cases the lowest forces were produced by the VHC loop. Loops with preactivation bends produced marked changes in the M/F ratio and loops without preactivation bends low, but relatively constant, M/F ratios over the full range of activation. Of the loops modelled without preactivation bends the opus and T-loop had the highest M/F ratios (7.20 – 7.67 mm at the anterior ends).

Conclusion

Stainless steel opus and T–loops without preactivation bends had constant M/F ratios, but both loops failed to deliver the optimum M/F ratio of 10:1.
Assessment of growth activity in the mandibular condyles by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
Authors: Kajan Zahra Dalili , Motevasseli Safa , Nasab Navid Karimi , Ghanepour Hossein , Abbaspur Farzad
Published: December 2023

Background

Unilateral condylar hyperplasia can lead to marked and disfiguring changes in the face and occlusion. A method of determining side-to-side differences in condylar activity is an important step in managing this condition.

Aims

To determine the growth activity in normal mandibular condyles and to devise an index of side-to-side differences in condylar activity in different individuals.

Methods

Thirty eight patients, ranging from 13 to 34 years, who were undergoing skeletal scintigraphy for a variety of conditions agreed to participate in this study. No subjects had clinical or radiographic signs of mandibular hyperplasia. After injection of 25 mci Tc99 the uptake by the right and left mandibular condyles was measured and the side-to-side differences used to calculate an index.

Results

The maximum side-to-side differences were 6.2 per cent (Right side versus Left side: 53.1 per cent and 46.9 per cent respectively) in the male patients and 5.7 per cent in the female patients (Right side versus Left side: 52.85 per cent and 47.15 per cent respectively).

Conclusions

The variation in growth activity in normal right and left mandibular condyles was less than 6.2 per cent. (Aust Orthod J 2006; 22: 127–130)
The reliability of bonded lingual retainers
Authors: Cerny Robert
Published: December 2023

Background

Bonded lingual retainers have become increasingly popular, but there is little information on their long-term reliability.

Objectives

The aims of this retrospective study were to investigate the reliability of bonded upper and lower lingual retainers and the factors contributing to their failure.

Methods

The study group were 149 patients who returned between 2002 and 2005 with failed upper and/or lower fixed lingual retainers. Approximately 230 patients were debonded each year and approximately 1150 patients were covered annually by a 5-year guarantee of replacement or repair of failed retainers. The retainers were made from 0.018 inch round stainless steel heat-treated orthodontic wire. The upper retainers had loops opposite the embrasures and the lower retainers had loops between the lateral incisors and canines. The following details were recorded: teeth involved, patient gender, the likely cause of any damage and the time taken for each repair.

Results

Between 35 and 40 patients required repair/replacement of their retainers each year. Multiple bond failures occurred in approximately 9 per cent of these patients. Male patients had twice the fracture rate of female patients. Extra-oral trauma was the most frequent cause of failure followed by intra-oral trauma, operator error and wire fracture. The central incisors in both arches were the most frequent sites of failure. Single tooth repairs required approximately 12 minutes of the orthodontist’s chair-side time.

Conclusions

Bonded lingual retainers are a reliable form of retention after orthodontic treatment.
Effects of Sway and Roll Excitations on Sloshing Loads in a KC-1 Membrane LNG Tank
Authors: An Se-yeol , Jeong Hyeon-won , Kim Ohyoung , Jaewoo Shim W.
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the effects of sway and roll excitations on sloshing liquid loads in a tank, using Ansys Fluent software. The model considered in the study is a 1:50 scaled membrane-type tank, based on a KC-1 membrane LNG tank designed by Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS). The volume of fluid (VOF) method is used to track the free surface inside the tank, and the standard k-ε model is applied to express the turbulent flow of the liquid. To explore the motion of the tank under excitation, a user-defined function (UDF) and a dynamic mesh technique are employed to control the external forces exerted on the tank through its motion. The results, in the form of time series data on the sloshing pressures in the tank under pure sway, roll, and coupled sway-roll, are analysed, with specific ranges for the excitation amplitudes and frequencies. We show that variations in excitation frequency and amplitude significantly influence the sloshing loads. Sloshing loads are found to intensify when the excitation frequency matches the tank’s primary natural frequency, 1.0 ω1′. Furthermore, with coupled sway-roll excitations, the sloshing loads are weakened when the sway and roll are in-phase and are intensified when these are out-of-phase. Fast Fourier transform analysis provides insights into the frequency domain, showing that the dominant frequency is 0.88 Hz and it is approximately equal to the tank’s primary natural frequency, 1.0 ω1′.
Exploration of a Model Thermoacoustic Turbogenerator with a Bidirectional Turbine
Authors: Korobko Volodymyr , Serbin Serhiy , Le Huu Cuong
Published: December 2023

The utilisation of the thermal emissions of modern ship power plants requires the development and implementation of essentially new methods of using low-temperature waste heat. Thermoacoustic technologies are able to effectively use low-temperature and cryogenic heat resources with a potential difference of 500–111 K. Thermoacoustic heat machines (TAHMs) are characterised by high reliability, simplicity and environmental safety. The wide implementation of thermoacoustic energy-saving systems is hampered by the low specific power and the difficulties of directly producing mechanical work. An efficient approach to converting acoustic energy into mechanical work entails the utilisation of axial pulse bidirectional turbines within thermoacoustic heat engines. These thermoacoustic turbogenerators represent comprehensive systems that consist of thermoacoustic primary movers with an electric generator actuated by an axial-pulse bidirectional turbine. The development of such a thermoacoustic turbogenerator requires several fundamental issues to be solved. For this purpose, a suitable experimental setup and a 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of a thermoacoustic engine (TAE) with bidirectional turbines were created. The research program involved conducting physical experiments and the CFD modelling of processes in a TAE resonator with an installed bidirectional turbine. The boundary and initial conditions for CFD calculations were based on empirical data. The adequacy of the developed numerical model was substantiated by the results of physical experiments. The CFD results showed that the most significant energy losses in bidirectional turbines are manifested in the output grid of the turbine.
Ultrasound diagnosis of the carotid webs. Literature review and a clinical case using modern vector analysis technology
Authors: Chechetkin A. O. , Dreval M. V.
Published: December 2023

Carotid wed (CW) is a rare pathology representing intimal protrusion in the bifurcation of the common carotid or sinus of internal carotid arteries, associated with embolic cryptogenic stroke and high risk of its recurrence despite ongoing antiplatelet therapy. Therefore, accurate and timely diagnosis of this pathology is of utmost importance. Ultrasound is a first-line method, but currently only a few reports are devoted to the ultrasound description of CW, which often leads to missed or misdiagnosis of the disease. This paper describes a case of clinically asymptomatic CW and summarizes the literature data on the ultrasound characteristics of this pathology.
