Published: October 2024

Phân tán hợp kim lỏng bằng ly tâm kết hợp khí cao áp là một phương pháp tương đối mới để sản xuất bột in 3D kim loại. Bản chất của phương pháp này là sử dụng một đĩa ly tâm tạo phân tán sơ cấp nhằm làm tăng năng lượng bề mặt riêng cho kim loại lỏng. Ở cuối giai đoạn phân tán sơ cấp kim loại lỏng sẽ có dạng một màng mỏng hình nón, sau đó tiếp tục được phân tán bằng các tia khí đồng tâm để tạo ra các giọt hình cầu có kích thước nhỏ hơn. Bột kim loại chế tạo bằng phương pháp này sẽ có kích thước nhỏ mịn và hạn chế được hạt vệ tinh (các hạt nhỏ bám trên bề mặt hạt lớn) nhờ giảm được lưu lượng khí quẩn trong buồng phân tán. Trong nghiên cứu này, các khảo sát thực nghiệm được tiến hành trên hợp kim nhôm mác AlSi10Mg. Bột kim loại sau khi chế tạo được khảo sát các chỉ tiêu kỹ thuật tương ứng đối với bột in 3D kim loại như thành phần hoá học, phân bố cỡ hạt, cấu trúc hình thái học,… Các kết quả khảo sát đã xác định được ảnh hưởng của các thông số hình học và công nghệ của quá trình phân tán, bao gồm lưu lượng kim loại lỏng, độ quá nhiệt của kim loại lỏng và một vài thông số kết cấu khác của thiết bị.

Nanomaterials in post-harvest preservation offer advantages such as non-toxicity, chemical residue-free protection, and effective inhibition of mold and bacteria. Due to their strong antimicrobial properties and their ability to form a thin nano-coating on fruit surfaces, even small amounts of nanoparticles provide extensive coverage, preventing microbial penetration. This technology significantly improves fruit quality and longevity during storage and transportation. In this work, we introduced an advanced biopolymer film of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) incorporating ZnO and Ag nanoparticles (NPs). Ag NPs and ZnO NPs demonstrated an outstanding antimicrobial inhibition property that can be used for fruit preservation. As a proof of concept, the biopolymer thin films enable to extend avocado ripening from up to 35 days. The sugar concentration variation, the hardness, and the weight loss of the avocado with and without the advanced biopolymer thin film integrated ZnO and Ag nanoparticles in 35 days were compared with each other to clarify the ripening reduction ability of the biopolymer thin film.

Authors: Le Minh Tri
Published: October 2024

Plastic items, which offer convenience, are ubiquitous in several manufacturing sectors and in everyday life. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a highly popular synthetic plastic that is seeing a growing demand. Annually, a substantial quantity of PET plastic garbage is released into the environment. Hence, it is imperative to devise an efficient remedy for the disposal of PET plastic waste. This work employed PET waste plastic to produce activated carbon by the chemical activation method. The activating agent utilized was H3PO4 acid. An investigation was conducted to determine the impact of the impregnation rate of PET waste plastic with H3PO4, as well as the activating temperature and activating time, on the surface areas of activated carbon. The activated carbon was thoroughly analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. The resulting product has a porous structure, a developed pore system, and a specific surface area of 892 m2/g, with effective adsorption capacity for RhB solutions with concentrations below 80 ppm (efficiency above 90%) in a neutral environment according to the Langmuir adsorption isothermal model, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 45.45 mg/g.

Authors: Akbar Lutfia Rizkyatul , Sugiarti Rita
Published: October 2024

The MSME tax policy has undergone several changes and changed regulations. In 2022, the government again re-regulated MSME taxes, namely PP Number 55 year 2022 regarding Adjustments to Regulations on Income Tax. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. With the issuance of PP Number 55 of 2022, this provides an opportunity to increase the taxes owed by MSMEs and researchers also want to illustrate to the government that after this regulation is issued what impact will be felt by MSME Taxpayers, so that this will later be used as an evaluation by the Government.  The result of this research is the calculation for the 2023 tax year using the rate of Article 17 of the Income Tax Law with the rate of 22%, and an additional 50% tax reduction as the Income Tax Law Art 31 E, resulting in the tax payable of IDR 4,240,946.16. PT ABC must carry out the bookkeeping obligations in reporting the tax liabilities and create proof of transactions for every business transaction to avoid a high tax burden.

Published: October 2024

From several decades, there was a significant increase in the production of pharmaceuticals due to their widespread use for both animal and human health.  However, these pharmaceuticals also release large amounts of waste into the water environment, where they have been found at levels of ng/l to mg/l in wastewater and surface water. Additionally, because pharmaceuticals initially have biological effects such endocrine disruption, they may have a multitude of adverse effects. Hospitals are indicated or thought to be a significant and extremely variable source that is typically released into sewers immediately, without any kind of preparation. even if they only make up a minor portion of the influents of sewage treatment plants' overall effluent volume. One of the primary sources of pharmaceuticals that are present in every area of the environment is the hospitals. These medications were transferred to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), which lack the necessary equipment to effectively handle these kinds of substances. Pharmaceutical contamination of water is regarded as a growing pollution issue in developed nations as these pollutants and micropollutants have been introduced into drinking water sources. In order to raise awareness among physicians, patients, and pharmaceutical manufacturers that pharmaceutical materials may have side effects outside of the patient, certain countries have implemented a classification system for pharmaceutical drugs based on their propensity to accumulate in surface water and interfere with aquatic life. This program is assessed by yearly tests of pharmaceuticals in sewage treatment effluents. The results indicate the presence of numerous types of medicines, including trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole, and metronidazole, in all analyzed sewer treatment plant effluents. The manufacturing and consumption of pharmaceuticals appear to have an impact on their presence in wastewater.

Increasing the visibility of websites by implementing digital marketing is deeply affecting every sphere of life, especially in all economic activities. Websites with more community-focused pages—such as blogs, forums, and connections to other social media sites—are seen more frequently Pant et al. (2017). By utilizing an e-commerce website for digital marketing, business owners may more effectively promote their items and quickly see sales figures Supriyatin, W., & Wisesha, K. (2022).The main aim of the study is to analyze the importance of the increasing the visibility of websites by implementing digital marketing in case of business. The mthodology used consist on qualitative method. Primary data were used to test the hypotheses in the study, while the online questionnaire was used as the research tool for data collection. The questionnaire was prepared in "google forms" and covered a six-month time period for data collection. Respondents were randomly selected after the questionnaire was administered online to a random sample of 150 participants. The study finds that the impact on increasing the visibility of websites in the selection of a search engine by implementing digital marketing is more than just a search. Internet searches in the visibility of specific pages, are a key element in the company's relationship with consumers, which represent perceptions and feelings of consumers about a product or service in which it is related to their performance, which represent everything that means for the product or service to consumers.

Deliberation on continuous spread of corruption in South Africa
Authors: Vyas-Doorgapersad Shikha
Published: October 2024

Corruption is widely spread in South Africa and is against the norms of honestly, morals, values, ethics, and good governance. The reasons of corruption may be individual (personal greed for luxury, power, authority), organisational (inadequate monitoring and evaluation, reporting processes), legislative (no compliance), strategic (lack of ethical culture), to state a few. The study is aimed to find answers to the following guiding research question, such as: what is the extent of corruption in South Africa? The qualitative study utilised secondary sources through the literature review of articles and document review of annual/official reports to gather relevant information. The information was further assessed using document analysis. The findings show that corruption is spreading at every level of government, and even public and private sectors are getting exposed to cases of misconduct. The country has established various legislative frameworks to combat corruption. The objectives of anti-corruption frameworks are operationalised through the establishment of anti-corruption organistaions. Some of them are Corruption Watch; National Anti-Corruption Advisory Council; Financial Intelligence Centre; Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse; and National Anti-Corruption Hotline. The findings show that although there are anti-corruption measures in place, the inadequate compliance may create implementation gaps, hence corruption keeps on spreading at political level, bureaucratic offices, and even in municipalities. The study suggests policy measures to minimise the scope and spread of corruption.

More Than Listening is Needed for Synodality: Observations Based on the Australian Plenary Council and the Church in the New Testament
Authors: McGregor Peter J.
Published: October 2024

This essay will examine how the Australian Plenary Council and the church revealed in the New Testament can help us come to a deeper understanding of the nature and practice of synodality. The first part will look at how the Plenary Council was envisaged as a response to the call for synodality, the preparations for the Council, the composition of its membership, and the foci of the Council’s deliberations, so as to make suggestions about how a Synod could be organised and conducted. This could be called an investigation into the “body” of synodality. The second part will examine the church in the New Testament from the perspective of being in both koinonia and homothumadon, in the hope that such an investigation can help us develop a synodal process which, through both “listening” and “looking,” can come as close as possible to consensus. This could be called an investigation into the “soul” of synodality.
Joseph-Albert Cardinal Malula and the “Listening Bishop”: An Institution to (Re) Discover
Authors: Maduku Ignace Ndongala
Published: October 2024

This article presents the device set up around 1978–1979 by Cardinal Malula in the diocese of Kinshasa (DRC) to promote dialogue and listening, which contribute to the emergence of a “culture of dialogue and encounter.” In this respect, the “listening bishop” is an approach, state of mind, and participative device that enables the bishop to listen to his collaborators. A positive ritual and rite that celebrates fraternity, this device unfolds as a path of synodality. In this context, I will attempt to show that the innovative device that builds the consensus ecclesiae deserves to be rediscovered and restored, in order to adapt it to the evolution of urban pastoral care.
Mercury content and consumption risk of the invasive Arapaima gigas (paiche) in Bolivia
Authors: Perez Tamara , Carvajal-Vallejos Fernando , Van Damme Paul Andre
Published: October 2024

Mercury is a global pollutant present in the environment. The most frequent non-occupational human exposure pathway is fish consumption. Generally, fish species of large size and with carnivorous or omnivorous feeding habits have higher mercury concentrations. The invasive fish Arapaima (popularly known as paiche), an omnivorous large-sized species introduced in northern Bolivian Amazon about 50 years ago after escape from aquaculture in Peru, has successfully colonized this region and is now the main commercial fish species. Consumption of this species in Bolivia is increasing, and an evaluation of the risk of mercury exposure for human health is warranted. Muscle samples from 86 fish were taken from four different sub-basins (Orthon, Madre de Dios, Beni and Yata). 8.1% of the samples showed mercury content above the safe consumption recommendation of the World Health Organization (0.5 mg kg-1). Samples from the Madidi and Yata rivers scored the highest mean concentrations (0.367 and 0.306 mg kg-1, respectively), whereas individuals from the lower Beni subbasin showed the lowest (0.105 mg kg-1). According to our results, the maximum recommended paiche meat consumption is 316 g per week, divided into two meals, which is in agreement with international recommendations for fish consumption (227 g to 340 g per week), although this can vary according the place of origin of the meat. Following these recommendations, mercury exposure through paiche consumption should not represent a risk for human health.

Authors: Singh Lalji , Shaikh Saipun I. , Toppo Shalini , Singh J.S. , Singh Ekta
Published: October 2024

The present study was an attempt to quantify the direct as well as indirect ecosystem services from forest ecosystems in the Melghat area, which were undervalued in economic terms as compared to other developmental projects. The valuation of growing stock in the Melghat Tiger Reserve (MTR) was estimated to be IRs 80221 crores (equal to 9600 million US $). While the carbon sequestration potential of the system was estimated to be IRs 9291 crores, the value of non-timber forest products (NTFP), a part of the provisioning service, was IRs 3.92 crore. The Forest land itself is valued at IRs 66874 crores using the current land costs in the region for non-forest uses. Recreation benefits are estimated to be IRs 30.94 crores which is more than the user fee collections at entry points. The contribution value of biodiversity and other ecosystem services for the entire Melghat landscape was IRs 2156 crore. Timber and carbon sequestration loss due to land distributed under forest rights was IRs 447.23 crore, while gains from agricultural use of that land by farmers was merely IRs 7.07 crore. Thus, the land conversion resulted in 63 times higher loss in the total ecosystem services than the gains from the subsistence-level farming practice for provisioning service alone. The total economic value of the Melghat landscape was estimated at IRs 1,69,853 crore, equalling to IRs 57.20 lakh per ha. The Net Present Value (NPV) of IRs 7.5 lakh per ha for protected areas such as the MTR prescribed by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Government of India is much lower than the estimated value, emphasizing the need to revise NPV using appropriate valuation methodology.

Synergistic Methods for Chromium Cleanup Using Plant-Growth-Promoting Bacteria
Authors: D Rosario Ligi Lambert , Dev Sona S
Published: October 2024

Chromium (Cr) pollution contributes a significant threat to environmental and human health due to its widespread industrial use and toxic effects. Among the various remediation strategies, the application of plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) has emerged as a promising approach. The article explores the synergistic potential of PGPB in enhancing plant-based remediation techniques for chromium cleanup. PGPBs enhance plant growth and stress tolerance through mechanisms such as hormone production, nitrogen fixation, and pathogen inhibition. Key strategies discussed include bioaugmentation, biostimulation, phytoextraction, and phytostabilization. These methods leverage the abilities of PGPB to promote plant growth, enhance chromium uptake, and immobilize chromium in the soil, thereby reducing its bioavailability and mobility. Case studies and experimental evidence highlight the effectiveness of PGPB in chromium-contaminated environments, demonstrating improved plant growth and metal accumulation. This review underscores the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, field-scale implementation, and ongoing research to harness the full potential of PGPB-mediated phytoremediation for sustainable chromium cleanup.

Entretanto, deparamos com achados desvelados na revisão bibliográfica, trata-se do hiato existente entre o cumprimento desses documentos legais e a realidade da sala de aula. Hodiernamente, ainda são grandes os desafios das escolas públicas para a integração das tecnologias digitais como uma prática pedagógica efetiva, as que têm recursos digitais sofrem com a ausência de acesso à internet em banda larga.

This work addressed the transition of Consoagro Empresa Júnior to Inbound Marketing in 2021, 2022, and 2023, highlighting the growing relevance of agricultural innovation and communication strategies. The adoption of Inbound Marketing was motivated by the need to acquire a strategy that would strengthen Consoagro's brand presence in the digital environment and assist in the passive acquisition of clients. With the general objective of analyzing the impacts of this transition, a quantitative approach was employed, using Consoagro as a case study. The methodology included document analysis and impact assessment over the years using Excel data spreadsheets and statistical analysis using the ANOVA and Tukey test in R software. After analyzing the results, it was possible to identify that the strategy not only strengthened Consoagro's online presence but also contributed to the promotion of digital agriculture. Facing challenges such as increasing market competition and the lack of prospecting, the company turned these difficulties into strategic opportunities, using the production of interesting and relevant content to attract and engage its audience effectively. In summary, this study highlighted the importance of innovation as an essential catalyst for facing contemporary challenges in the agricultural context. By integrating Inbound Marketing as part of a broader strategy of growth and adaptation, Consoagro not only improved its visibility and operational efficiency but also established a successful model for other junior companies in the agricultural sector seeking to differentiate and thrive in a competitive and dynamic environment.

O artigo trata sobre a problemática a cerca das infecções por tuberculose (TB), uma doença infectocontagiosa que apresenta um longo período de latência entre a infecção primária e as manifestações clínicas da doença. Nosso objetivo é conhecer o perfil epidemiológico da tuberculose em um município localizado na Amazônia Paraense e entender as fragilidades relacionadas a ocorrência de casos. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico descritivo retrospectivo. E para entender esse cenário de infecção foram utilizados dados referentes à cidade de Santarém-PA no período de 2015 a 2019 obtidos da base de dados do Sistema Nacional de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN), disponibilizados pelo DATASUS. Notou-se a ocorrência de 629 casos de TB entre os anos de 2015 a 2019. Sendo 2019, o ano de maior registro com 165 casos (26,2%), e 2015 com 101 (16%) o de menor ocorrência. A tuberculose caracteriza-se como um problema de saúde pública atual, de maior recorrência na população de adultos jovens do sexo masculino, na faixa etária de 20-39 anos, no município de Santarém-PA, possivelmente por conta da sua exposição através da sua vida ativa economicamente e da pouca procura por serviços de saúde preventivamente.
Direitos constitucionais e interseccionalidade de identidades marginalizadas
Authors: Farah João Pedro Vieira
Published: October 2024

Este artigo examina a aplicação dos direitos humanos à comunidade LGBTQIA+ no Brasil, sob a ótica da Constituição de 1988. Utilizando métodos dedutivos e qualitativos, a pesquisa aborda como intersecções de gênero, raça e classe social impactam a eficácia das proteções legais. Ademais, o estudo discute as reclamações constitucionais como um mecanismo vital para a defesa dos direitos fundamentais, permitindo que cidadãos questionem a constitucionalidade de atos e omissões estatais. Ao analisar doutrinas, legislações e trabalhos acadêmicos, destaca-se a persistência da homofobia e as falhas nas políticas públicas destinadas a mitigar violência e discriminação. Por fim, aponta-se para a urgência de ações mais robustas e inclusivas que garantam igualdade e liberdade, enfatizando a importância de uma abordagem interseccional para compreender e combater as desigualdades enfrentadas pela comunidade LGBTQIA+.

O Sistema de Informação sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) possui dados importantes sobre nascimentos que ocorrem em todo o Brasil, fornecendo informações essenciais para a obtenção de importantes indicadores de saúde materno-infantil. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar os principais equívocos no preenchimento dos dados de identificação dos recém-nascidos contidos no SINASC do município de Senhor do Bonfim-BA. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo, elaborado a partir de problemas na coleta de dados de um estudo maior denominado “Planejamento reprodutivo no pós-parto entre mulheres atendidas na Atenção Básica”, o público alvo foi composto por mulheres entre três e seis meses de pós-parto. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas domiciliares com 97 mulheres. Devido a problemas de inconsistência nos dados do SINASC, a equipe de pesquisa investigou os erros mais frequentes, bem como a forma de alimentação e o fluxo das informações contidas no SINASC. Dos 89 casos de perda registrados no estudo sobre Planejamento Reprodutivo, 52 (58,4%) ocorreram por problemas relacionados aos endereços registrados. O fluxo de alimentação de dados do sistema envolvia a coordenação da Vigilância Epidemiológica e as enfermeiras das maternidades, que corrigiam informações incorretas nas Declarações de Nascidos Vivos antes da digitação no sistema. Os problemas de qualidade das informações encontradas neste estudo mostram que mesmo após décadas de existência, esse sistema de informação ainda possui problemas básicos como o preenchimento dos dados de identificação da puérpera e recém-nascido.

A auriculoterapia tem se destacado entre as práticas integrativas e complementares devido aos seus resultados positivos no tratamento holístico de diversos distúrbios psicossomáticos. O estudo objetiva analisar a eficácia da auriculoterapia com uso de sementes e agulhas na redução dos sintomas de ansiedade em adultos. A revisão seguiu as diretrizes PRISMA e Cochrane, com a estratégia de busca realizada nas principais bases de dados, incluindo estudos publicados em todos os idiomas até novembro de 2022. A qualidade geral das evidências foi avaliada por meio do sistema Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE).  Inicialmente, foram identificados 1.382 estudos nas bases de dados. Dentre esses, foram selecionados 20 estudos para a revisão, os quais investigaram o uso da auriculoterapia com sementes e agulhas na redução da ansiedade em adultos. Apenas um estudo não encontrou diferença significativa em qualquer aspecto da redução da ansiedade. Em geral, a auriculoterapia com sementes ou agulhas demonstrou ser eficaz na redução dos níveis de ansiedade em adultos quando comparada aos grupos controle ou placebo. No entanto, o uso da auriculoterapia com sementes e agulhas ainda é bastante limitado entre os profissionais de enfermagem. Isso pode ser atribuído à falta de revisões anteriores da literatura que tenham abordado de maneira holística e isolada as diversas abordagens dessa prática terapêutica.

Este estudo busca analisar a prevalência das internações por transtorno de humor afetivo no Brasil de 2012 a 2023, caracterizar seu perfil sociodemográfico e clínico, avaliar a taxa de mortalidade de acordo com ano, região, sexo e faixa etária e verificar gastos hospitalares. Estudo retrospectivo, epidemiológico, do tipo ecológico de caráter quantitativo e descritivo de momento transversal com dados secundários, disponíveis no Sistema de Informações Ambulatoriais do DataSUS, extraídos através do TabNet. Constatou-se que houve um aumento nas hospitalizações por transtorno de humor no Brasil de 2020 a 2023, momento que compreendeu a pandemia de COVID-19, sendo que a região Sul apresentou o maior número de internações no período total estudado. O Nordeste apresenta uma média de permanência cerca de duas vezes maior que as demais regiões, possivelmente devido à uma fragilidade dos serviços de saúde primários, levando ao agravamento dos pacientes. Houve uma manutenção dos custos hospitalares gerais apesar do aumento das internações, justificada pela redução da média de permanência, conforme o fortalecimento de serviços comunitários como Centro de Atenção Psicossocial que reduziu a necessidade do intra-hospitalar. Assim, mais estudos são necessários para evidenciar os fatores associados à tendência crescente de internações por transtornos de humor afetivo no Brasil.
