Published: May 2022

The Merija copper deposit is located in the Marginal Folds of the Moroccan Eastern High Atlas. It is a stratiform deposit hosted in sandstone-conglomerate formations of the Infra-Cenomanian, consisting of copper carbonate and sulphide mineralization (malachite, azurite, traces of chalcopyrite, chalcocite, and covellite). This mineralization exhibits different forms: dissemination in the sandstone-conglomerate host rocks and fillings of centimetric veins, sometimes with calcite. Moreover, microscopic examination shows that the mineralization is disseminated in the carbonate matrix, filling of the inter-granular spaces of the sandstone-conglomeratic material. The mineralogical association is composed of: a primary paragenesis with chalcopyrite ، a secondary cementation paragenesis with chalcocite and covellite and a secondary oxidation paragenesis with malachite. This latter is the most dominant mineral presenting a micro-fibrous texture surrounding the sulphides of the primary and secondary paragenesis, composed of chalcopyrite, chalcocite and covelite. It is associated with a quartz-calcite gangue. The copper mineralization at Merija is heterogeneously distributed within the surrounding sandstone-conglomerate formation due to the diversity of paleocurrents carrying the leached copper. The rich paleocurrents trends S, SW, and SE, whereas the poor ones present an N and NW directions. These paleocurrents are derived from a fluvio-deltaic channel system that controlled sedimentary deposition in the area during the Infra-Cenomanian. This sedimentary type mineralization is probably related to a process of alteration and deposition of detrital materials loaded with copper minerals and derived from a protore copper-bearing. This alteration process gave rise to the malachite and azurite mineralization resulting from the replacement phenomenon of chalcopyrite, chalcocite and covellite.
The Role of Heavy Minerals in Understanding the Provenance of Sandstone: An Example from the Upper Cretaceous Tanjero Formation, Surdash Region, Northeastern Iraq
Authors: Ali Abbas , Jassim Safaa , Aladeen Zaid
Published: May 2022

The Tanjero Formation is the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian-Maastrichtian) crops out in northeastern Iraq at the High-Folded and Imbricate Zones. To study heavy minerals, twenty sandstone samples were obtained from selected sites of the Tanjero Formation exposed at the southwestern limb of the Surdash anticline in the northeast part of Sulaimanyia city. The analyzed data indicates that the most abundant heavy minerals are opaque, followed by pyroxene, epidote, amphibole, chlorite, rutile, and garnet. The significant abundance of unstable and metastable minerals in the heavy mineral suites shows their direct derivation from the adjacent main basic igneous and metamorphic source rocks, which are situated in the High-Folded and Imbricate Zones in the northern and northeastern parts of Iraq. The estimated zircon-tourmaline-rutile index reveals that the majority of the sandstone samples have less than 75% zircon-tourmaline-rutile index, indicating that the sediments are generally immature. Furthermore, the relationship between an ultra-stable and a meta-stable heavy mineral indicated the immaturity of the Tanjero Formation sandstone and its moderate stability, proving that these minerals cannot be transported over extremely long distances close to the source rocks area. The heavy mineral assemblage demonstrated that the studied area is distinguished by high tectonic activity. In addition, according to the MF- MT-GM ternary diagram, the analyzed sandstone samples lie within the active continental margins field, which is distinguished by a higher percentage of MF minerals than GM minerals generated from mafic magmatic source rocks.

Authors: Bright Thomas , Hughes Jonathon , Handford Matthew , Anniss Ben , Westwood Caroline
Published: May 2022

This investigation examined the effects of a warm-up containing weighted vest (WV) sprints on subsequent 20-metre sprint time relative to a control (C) condition in youth soccer players (n=12, mean ± SD age 16 ± 0.60 years, height 175.17 ± 5.92 cm and body mass 61.85 ± 5.88 kg). The main experimental trials consisted of three WV conditions at 10, 20 and 30% of body mass (WV10, WV20 and WV30) and C. Participants were required to complete one 20-metre sprint with each of WV conditions or without additional mass as part of C prior to a 20-metre sprint at 4-, 8- and 12-minutes. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA revealed no significant difference between any of the conditions and rest periods (p = >0.05). The between condition effect sizes for 20-metre sprint times were moderate at 4- and 12-minutes post WV10 (d = -0.86 and -1.15, respectively) and 12-minutes post WV20 (d = -0.84) and WV30 (d = -0.80). Moderate effect sizes were also observed at 4-minutes post WV10 (d = -1.04) and WV20 (d = -0.67) for 10-metre sprint times. These findings demonstrate that WV loading has no significant effect on 20-metre sprint time in youth soccer players. However, there is an opportunity for S&C coaches to implement WV warm-ups of no more than 30% body mass to improve 20-metre sprint times.

Published: May 2022

Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), the main binder in concrete, is the most expensive component and the major contributor to the embodied carbon of the composite. This necessitates alternative eco-friendly materials such as waste, with comparative binding properties as a part replacement for OPC to have economic and sustainable concrete production with minimal hazardous impact on the environment. This study uses Sawdust Ash (SDA) which is a waste product of the wood milling industry, to replace some proportion of OPC in concrete. To further reduce the cost and negative environmental impact of concrete, laterite was used to replace river sand, and fresh and hardened properties were investigated. The fresh property evaluated in this study is the slump, while the hardened properties investigated are the density and compressive strength. This study showed the viability of successfully incorporating SDA as a partial replacement of OPC and laterite soil to replace the conventional fine aggregate. An acceptable slump and compressive strength can be achieved using 10% SDA and 45% laterite as partial replacement of OPC and river sand, respectively.

Authors: Hegde Arunakar , Sheikh Shifa Gouse , C P Muhammed Shahins
Published: May 2022

The nephroprotective activity of Abrus precatorius leaves extract against Gentamicin and Cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity in rats was performed. The acute toxicity studies conducted on ethanolic extract of Abrus precatorius was found to be non-toxic at a dose of 2000mg/kg. Two doses 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg b.w p.o. of the extract were subjected for the evaluation of nephroprotective activity against the nephrotoxicity induced by Gentamicin (100mg/kg, i.p) and Cisplatin (5mg/kg, i.p) in rats. Selenium (6mg/kg, p.o.) was served as standard in both the models. Urinary and serum biochemical parameters, assessment of oxidative stress, kidney weight and histopathology were evaluated in the study. Both the low (200mg/kg) and high dose (400mg/kg) of Abrus precatorius extract showed dose dependent significant decrease in serum creatinine, urea, BUN and cholesterol levels and increase in urinary creatinine, urea, sodium and potassium levels when compared with toxic control. Both the doses showed decrease in LPO and increase in GSH, SOD and CAT levels. Histopathological analysis of kidney showed less necrosis in extract treated rats, thus confirming the nephroprotective effect. The result obtained was comparable with that of the standard drug Selenium. The finding of the present study provides the evidence that, the ethanolic extract of Abrus precatorius is beneficial against Gentamycin and Cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity, this might be due to the presence of array of phytoconstituents.

Published: May 2022

In the last years, health care professionals faced with an increasing number of patients suffering from wounds and burns difficult to treat and heal. During the wound healing process, the dressing protects the injury and contributes to the recovery of dermal and epidermal tissues. Because their biocompatibility, biodegradability and similarity to macromolecules recognized by the human body, some natural polymers such as polysaccharides (alginates, chitin, chitosan, heparin, chondroitin), proteoglycans and proteins (collagen, gelatin, fibrin, keratin, silk fibroin, eggshell membrane) are extensively used in wounds and burns management. Obtained by electrospinning technique, some synthetic polymers like biomimetic extracellular matrix micro/nanoscale fibres based on polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, polyacrylic acid, poly-ε-caprolactone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, exhibit in vivo and in vitro wound healing properties and enhance re-epithelialization. They provide an optimal microenvironment for cell proliferation, migration and differentiation, due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, peculiar structure and good mechanical properties. Thus, synthetic polymers are used also in regenerative medicine for cartilage, bone, vascular, nerve and ligament repair and restoration. Biocompatible with fibroblasts and keratinocytes, tissue engineered skin is indicated for regeneration and remodelling of human epidermis and wound healing improving the treatment of severe skin defects or partial-thickness burn injuries. This article offers an insight into several different types of polymeric materials clinically used in wound dressings and the events taking place at cellular level, which aid the process of healing, while the biomaterial dressing interacts with the body tissue.

Metodologia: trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura com base em 8 artigos, nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol, cuja busca foi realizada nas plataformas LILACS, BDENF e MEDLINE. Na estratégia de busca foram utilizados termos obtidos a partir de DeCS e MESH e sinônimos combinados com os operadores booleanos (AND, OR). Resultados: os artigos selecionados mostraram que os desafios no diagnóstico e controle do HIV/AIDS em idosos se dão principalmente pelo tabu ao falar de sexualidade, doenças oportunistas no organismo em processo de envelhecimento e poucas campanhas de prevenção de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis voltadas para a terceira-idade. Conclusão: é necessário que haja qualificação dos profissionais da saúde, sobretudo, os enfermeiros, para que assim possam agir de forma centrada ao conversar com os pacientes sobre o diagnóstico e como será viver com a doença e, principalmente, ao falar sobre sexualidade na terceira idade. Assim como, é importante a criação de campanhas e políticas públicas contra IST’s voltadas para essa população.
Digital transformation and knowledge management: relationships in scientific production
Authors: Silva Eduardo Alves
Published: May 2022

This paper investigates the scientific production related to the interrelation of digital transformation (DT) and knowledge management (KM). This is an informetric study of descriptive type in which we retrieved documents from Scopus to analyze them during the period 2015-2020. The analysis focused on papers published in journals and conferences of open access. Thirty articles were retrieved, 17 from conference proceedings and 13 from journals. The articles on DT and KM have obtained 174 citations, being only ten uncited documents. We conclude that DT and KM have a multidisciplinary character, shaped by different knowledge areas. The area in which these topics impact the most is computer science, given the linkage of DT with the pillars of industry 4.0, such as the social sciences through the digitization of objects or documents and the use of KM.

Published: May 2022

The forecast of energy demand is one of the essential variables for the operation, planning, and estimation of tariffs for electric energy networks. There is currently a significant investment in modernizing the seven domains of an Intelligent Electric Grid (Smart-Grids). The operation of these various domains requires greater precision in forecasting demand for use and energy generation. Several techniques have been applied for this purpose, the most promising being machine learning, which in recent years sss received special attention. The focus of this work is to analyze a univariate demand forecasting method that employs deep artificial neural networks. The load time series history is used as input, added to the seasonality representation to predict the future load values of the electrical system. It will be shown that several factors influence the answer, and one of them is the choice of the way to decompose the problem and, therefore, the applied model.

Published: May 2022

Considerando a importância das demonstrações contábeis para seus usuários e a substituição da exigência de divulgação da Demonstração de Origens e Aplicações de Recursos (DOAR) pela obrigatoriedade da Demonstração dos Fluxos de Caixa (DFC), este estudo tem como objetivo verificar a relevância das informações divulgadas por meio da DFC (referentes a 2010) e por meio da DOAR (referentes a 2007), comparando-as. A abordagem é quantitativa, fundamentada em estudos de value relevance e na aplicação de técnicas de regressão múltipla. São utilizados dados secundários e englobadas 180 empresas listadas na BM&FBovespa. Os resultados encontrados confirmam a hipótese que a DFC apresentou informações mais relevantes que a DOAR, considerando-se os períodos especificados. Respeitadas as devidas limitações, conclui-se que o conteúdo divulgado através da DFC apresenta ganho informacional aos usuários em relação àquele divulgado através da DOAR. Assim, essa substituição da DOAR pela DFC, ocorrida no contexto de harmonização das normas internacionais de contabilidade, tende a favorecer os usuários das demonstrações contábeis em seu processo de tomada de decisões.

Published: May 2022

Este artigo apresenta as principais características das unidades familiares beneficiadas e os fatores determinantes do Programa Bolsa Família na cidade de Palmas, Tocantins. A metodologia adotada foi a entrevista dos beneficiários  por meio de aplicação de questionários nas unidades dos Centros de Referência de Assistência Social (CRAS) em duas regiões extremas e opostas da cidade. Os CRAS da 605 Norte e do Jardim Taquari, região sul da capital. Os resultados obtidos mostram mães pardas ou negras com mais filhos que a média da população, de baixa escolaridade e boa parte desempregada, o mesmo perfil para os pais. Os beneficiários cumprem as condicionalidades  exigidas e  usam o dinheiro para a compra de alimentos, em sua maioria,  sem acesso ao crédito. São pessoas com baixa participação política e social em suas comunidades, que frequentam e não acessam a bens culturais. Estão satisfeitos em receber o benefício, desconhecem as ações complementares do Bolsa Família, consideram-se livres, felizes e acreditam em um futuro melhor.

Quanto à metodologia, a pesquisa desenvolveu-se por meio de um estudo de caso, de natureza qualitativa e quantitativa, do tipo descritiva através da utilização de fórmulas para cada índice analisado aplicadas às demonstrações financeiras empresa. Os resultados destacam que a Cooperativa encontra-se em melhor situação quando o fator analisado é a disponibilidade de investimentos para saldar as obrigações de curto prazo, bem como, observou-se que o prazo médio de estocagem diminuiu e o prazo médio de pagamento aumentou, representando uma situação de otimização de recursos e melhor eficiência operacional. Concluiu-se que a Cooperativa vem diminuindo sua necessidade de capitalização por fontes não próprias em comparação ao primeiro ano analisado. Entretanto, não conseguiu obter um lucro operacional em cima do total de investimentos realizados.
UMA ANÁLISE DOS ARGUMENTOS DE ÉMILE DURKHEIM E OLIVEIRA VIANNA A RESPEITO DAS ASSOCIAÇÕES PROFISSIONAIS
Authors: Xavier Passos THAIS Mayrink
Published: May 2022

O presente trabalho tem o intuito de relacionar a valoração dada por Émile Durkheim e Oliveira Vianna às corporações profissionais como forma de aumentar a coesão e solidariedade social, atingindo, do ponto de vista durkheimiano, os ideais democráticos do Estado, utilizando-se da pesquisa bibliográfica de suas obras. Adiante, considerando o pensamento dos autores, pretende, ainda, analisar a contribuição democrática das corporações na modernidade, para, ao final, levando-se em conta o papel da economia e da política no mundo moderno, concluir que a estruturação social por meio das associações profissionais poderia apresentar-se como uma alternativa plausível para atender as novas demandas, inserindo tais associações na política a fim de resgatar sua utilidade e eficiência, gerando um grande benefício para a democracia.
O IMAGINÁRIO DA MULHER GAÚCHA EM RELAÇÃO AO COOPERATIVISMO
Authors: Centenaro Angela Ester Mallmann
Published: May 2022

Nesta pesquisa, não nos propusemos a retratar em toda a sua amplitude o imaginário das mulheres em relação ao cooperativismo – uma tarefa intangível – mas alguns aspectos que julgamos importantes. Assim, é necessário ressaltar que este trabalho só foi possível a partir do acúmulo de conhecimento já adquirido pelas mulheres pesquisadoras no Brasil e no mundo, como também, o fato real de ter havido o movimento feminista. Pois, apesar de ter se equivocado em relação à negação do homem, o movimento mostrou que é possível existir um discurso da desigualdade e do desrespeito às mulheres em nossa sociedade. O objetivo central desta pesquisa, inserida na linha de pesquisa - associativismo e cooperativismo -, foi verificar como as mulheres percebem as modificações que estão ocorrendo no mundo do trabalho cooperativo rural e urbano, tanto nos planos político e administrativo, como industrial e financeiro-contábil que as circundam, e que soluções elas sugerem para resolver problemas locais sobre o tema abordado. A pesquisa de campo se realizou no distrito de Pinhal Alto, no município de Nova Petrópolis-RS, tentando captar como o imaginário feminino percebe na realidade empírica rural as mudanças assinaladas.

Published: May 2022

Cada vez mais os relacionamentos de negócios têm sido um importante objeto de investigação de marketing. Todavia, eles não acontecem num vácuo entre as partes envolvidas. O contexto no qual são formados e desenvolvidos é chamado de atmosfera de relacionamento. Todavia, apesar de sua importância, a atmosfera de relacionamento ainda é um assunto pouco explorado. Com isto em mente, desenvolvemos o presente estudo exploratório. Nosso intuito foi o de gerar insights para uma melhor compreensão deste construto. Para tal, assumimos a perspectiva teórico-epistemológica da fenomenologia da percepção de Merleau-Ponty, por meio de um estudo de caso de um relacionamento diádico típico, entre vendedor e comprador, cujas entrevistas foram submetidas a uma análise de discurso. Nossos achados corroboram as atuais dimensões do construto, mas também apontam para novas. Além disto, discutimos os insights a que chegamos, apontando alguns caminhos para as reflexões e pesquisas futuras acerca do tema.
