Evolução e Impactos do Modelo de Sociedades Anonimas Deportivas (Sad):
Uma Análise Histórica e Jurídica da Gestão dos Clubes Espanhóis, seu Legado e
suas Influências
Authors: Piccoli Victor Trommer
Published: October 2024

As Sociedades Anónimas Deportivas (SAD) foram instituídas no cenário jurídico desportivo espanhol em 1990 visando profissionalizar a gestão dos clubes e garantir transparência e controle financeiro. No entanto, a ausência de mecanismos eficazes de controle e penalização resultou em operações financeiras inadequadas, falhas de fiscalização, e crescimento do endividamento dos clubes. As fragilidades técnicas e dificuldades de alinhamento com os direitos comunitários europeus fizeram o legislador espanhol buscar em 2022 uma modernização da legislação desportiva no país, mas apesar de reconhecer o cometimento de erros e a necessidade de alteração estrutural do modelo jurídico de gestão dos clubes desportivos profissionais, a instauração do novo marco legal nesta área foi decepcionante e incapaz de solucionar muitos dos problemas instituídos, falhando em proporcionar uma estrutura jurídica mais flexível e robusta. O presente artigo se propõe a fazer uma análise histórica crítica das propostas e resultados práticos do modelo jurídico de gestão nos clubes espanhóis, idealizando um marco regulatório uniforme, com normas materiais e procedimentos de controle econômico-financeiro, para garantir a integridade e sustentabilidade do desporto profissional, fortalecer a governança dos clubes e promover uma cultura de profissionalismo e responsabilidade. Também é feita uma análise a respeito da influência que o modelo espanhol exerce em diferentes outros países, em especial na América Latina, visando identificar aspectos positivos e negativos de um inevitável transplante jurídico neste panorama.

Published: October 2024

No ambiente escolar, o esporte se apresenta como conteúdo da disciplina Educação Física. Frequentemente também pode ser encontrado em outros formatos, como em competições esportivas. Apesar de as competições entre as escolas serem muito populares, elas recebem críticas por reproduzirem a lógica da seletividade e da competitividade entre os praticantes. Assim, o objetivo da pesquisa foi compreender a oferta do esporte escolar. Para isso, identificou seus fundamentos legais, a presença nas políticas públicas, suas diferentes manifestações, além dos componentes de gestão necessários para programas de esporte escolar de sucesso. Como metodologia, segundo Mattar e Ramos (2021), trata-se de uma pesquisa transversal, aplicada, descritiva, mista, com abordagem documental, bibliográfica, de campo e de “internet”. Sobre os procedimentos, o estudo teve as seguintes fases: 1- Análise das leis e das políticas públicas. 2- Entrevistas com “experts” e responsáveis pelas políticas públicas. 3- Realização de estudos de caso em escolas públicas e privadas. Quanto ao tratamento dos dados, foram analisados os registros de campo e realizadas análises de conteúdo, conforme Bardin (2016). Os principais resultados indicam que a legislação brasileira não trata o esporte escolar com clareza e as políticas públicas sobre o formato esportivo escolar são frágeis. Quanto aos estudos de caso, foi possível identificar modelos muito diferentes de organização do esporte escolar. Com base nos dados, foram identificados dez componentes de gestão para um programa de esporte escolar de sucesso. Como considerações finais, o estudo propõe alterações na legislação e nas políticas públicas, além de um modelo de gestão que poderá orientar projetos de esporte escolar de sucesso.

Authors: Yildiz Gulcin
Published: October 2024

The impact of power ultrasound (PU), antibrowning agents, and hot-water bath at 65?°C on the inhibition of enzymatic browning and 10 days product-life analysis of freshly cut cucumber samples were determined. The observations demonstrated that PU method inhibited the development of bacteria, mold, and yeast in freshly cut cucumber pieces at 4 °C. The PU-treated cucumber pieces exhibited a significant (p < 0.05) developments in bioactive components along with developed weight loss and firmness rather than other methods. In a similar way, PU-treated cucumber slices displayed the best colour parameters accompanying the smallest amount related to enzyme activity meaning lower browning enzymatically. Furthermore, the lowest scores in accordance with decay and off-odor values were determined in the freshly cut cucumbers subjected to PU. It is declared that PU method is an alternative technique to extend the storage conditions and keep the high-quality specifications in freshly cut cucumbers during cold storage.

Authors: Sarymsakov Abdushkur A. , Baltaeva Mukhabbat M. , Eshchanov Khushnudbek O.
Published: October 2024

The work presents information on obtaining hydrolyzed fibroin powder with high sorption properties under the influence of ultra-high frequency rays from the fibrous waste of the silk industry in an acidic environment, as well as information on its composition, structure, and sorption properties. During the research, it was found that the formation of hydrolyzed fibroin powder is caused by the hydrolysis of alpha- and random chains of fibroin. In differential scanning calorimetry analysis, it was shown that hydrolyzed fibroin is thermally structurally stable up to 210 °C and capable of sorption of gold and silver ions in large quantities. Using the samples obtained by treating the hydrolyzed fibroin powders in different medium solutions, cottonseed oil was whitened, and the peroxide content of the oil was reduced from 12 mmol/kg to 2.2 mmol/kg. By lowering it to this point, it is possible to increase the oil's shelf life.
ENHANCING ENGAGEMENT AND RETENTION IN REGULATORY TRAINING: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Seaba V. E. S. , Alorh C.
Published: October 2024

This systematic review investigates the use of gamification in Learning Management Systems (LMS) to enhance learner engagement and retention in regulatory training. Regulatory training is essential across industries like healthcare, finance, and manufacturing to ensure compliance with legal and safety standards, but it often suffers from low engagement and high dropout rates due to its mandatory and repetitive nature. By incorporating game design elements such as points, badges, and leaderboards, gamification aims to address these challenges. While previous research has shown the benefits of gamification, there remains a gap in understanding its long-term impact on compliance-driven contexts and the specific design strategies needed to promote deep learning over superficial participation. This study addresses these gaps by using a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from pre-and post-training assessments and LMS analytics with qualitative insights from learner surveys. Findings indicate that gamification significantly improves engagement and regulatory knowledge retention, but careful design is crucial to ensure that the enhancements lead to meaningful learning rather than merely increased activity. Recommendations are provided for integrating gamification effectively into regulatory training to achieve sustained compliance and robust learning outcomes.

AN EXPRESS METHOD FOR CREATION A FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC MODEL OF PROJECTS IN THE NUCLEAR ENERGY INDUSTRY BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF INTENTIONS TO CONSTRUCT A NPP IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN
Authors: Mukeneva S. А. , Zarva D. B. , Gulkin A. V.
Published: October 2024

Energy is the basis of successful economic growth and society development in general. However, today Kazakhstan is experiencing a shortage of electricity and, according to forecasts, by 2029 it is expected to have more than 3 GW of electric capacity deficit. The introduction of nuclear generation is a perspective solution of electricity shortage issue. Therefore, the construction of a nuclear power plant (NPP) today is one of the key elements on the agenda of our country. In this regard, there is a need for an in-depth analysis and careful consideration of issues related to the NPP construction including financial planning and implementation.

Financial and economic modeling (FEM) is the most famous tool for forecasting, planning and management in business. Commonly, some analysis of business ideas begins namely with the FEM, and if the assessments show effectiveness of a business project, then a decision is made on detailed review and funding. It is common practice to construct a fairy complete FEM during feasibility study (FS) of an investment project, when the major design and construction concepts and structural and administrative measures (including financial schemes) have already been defined. Analysis of the model and assessment of financial and economic indicators using FEM allows making a decision on future project developments. In the case of a NPP construction project, where the specific capital costs for the construction of a two-unit station with a total capacity of up to 2.4–2.7 GW are about US$10–15 billion, the financial costs for a feasibility study developing can reach more than US$100 million, and it will take about 3 years to prepare a full feasibility study.

The proposed methodology is an express method for developing the FEM of NPP construction projects, which is sufficiently stable with respect to the statistical inaccuracy of some initial data, to determine the financial efficiency of NPP projects. The developed methodology can be used when comparing a large number of NPP construction projects with different initial data in order to quickly select several optimal ones for their detailed study. This paper is relevant considering the adopted course of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as many world’s rapidly developing countries, towards decarbonization of the energy sector and industry.

WWR-K (Water-Water Reactor - Kazakhstan) was restarted after a major modernization related to its conversion to low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel and has been operating on LEU fuel since September 2016. The reactor, built in 1967, has been significantly modernized to meet modern safety requirements. This important neutron source in Kazakhstan serves various purposes, such as basic and applied research in physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, as well as for radiation treatment of materials and production of radioisotopes. It is also used for training. Instrumentation projects are planned to be launched on the basis of the WWR-K reactor to install a basic set of experimental stations. Significant efforts will be made to develop an ultracold neutron (UCN) source, which will expand research capabilities. For this purpose, it is proposed to use the niche of thermal column, a large diameter horizontal channel that allows irradiation of objects up to 1000 mm in size. In addition, the niche of thermal column has four radial channels that can be used to extract cold (10−6–10−3 eV) and very cold (10−7–10−6 eV) neutrons. The paper presents calculations of spatial and energy distributions of neutron and gamma fields for the current and for the additional moderator configuration of the niche of thermal column of the WWR-K reactor. It is shown that the configuration with additional moderator does not lead to an increase in the slow neutron fields (<1 eV), and the existing moderator thickness is optimal.

The results of new measurements of the yields of the 11B(p,γ)12C reaction of radiative capture to the ground and first excited states of 12C are presented. By normalizing these results to the corresponding experimental literature data, differential cross sections have been extracted for the angle 0° and for incident proton energies from 482 to 1337 keV. Based on the obtained differential cross sections and using literature data on the angular distributions of the 11B(p,γ)12C reaction in this energy region, the total cross sections and astrophysical S factors of the 11B(p,γ)12C reaction for transitions to the ground and first excited states of 12C have been determined with a statistical error of less than 10%. The experimental data obtained are well described within the framework of a modified potential cluster model with the classification of orbital states according to Young's diagrams and taking into account allowed and forbidden states. Based on the measured experimental cross sections and using the above theoretical model, the rate of this reaction was calculated in the temperature range from 0 to 100 million degrees of Kelvin. Within the limits of error, the results of this work are consistent with the data of earlier works.

Scaling laws in fluid mechanics: from computational optimization to mathematical analysis
Authors: Wynn Andy
Published: October 2024

"This talk will consider the problem of how to predict time-averaged statistics of fluid flows as functions of external forcing parameters. For example, in aircraft design, one would like to know the drag on an aircraft’s wing as a function of its flight-velocity; or one may want to know the rate of heat transfer in a layer of fluid as a function boundary heating. Having knowledge of such scaling laws is of fundamental importance in the design of fluid mechanical systems. However, proving rigorous statements is challenging since important flow statistics (drag, heat transfer) depend on the chaotic solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (Navier-Stokes, Raleigh-Bénard, etc.).

A powerful approach to obtaining scaling laws is the so-called background method, popularised by Constantin and Doering in the 1990s, in which emergent flow statistics can be formally bounded by solving variational optimization problems. This approach led to many celebrated fundamental discoveries, most notably for the prediction of convective heat transfer in Raleigh-Bénard convection. This talk will discuss a recent numerical approach to implementing the background method, based on the convex optimization technique of semidefinite programming. We will show how semidefinite programming allows one to derive finite-dimensional optimization problems which rigorously approximate the infinite-dimensional variational problems required to implement the background method. Further, we will discuss how insights gained from the numerical solution to these problems can be used to inspire analytical proofs of scaling laws for several problems in turbulent convection."

Streamwise streaks are elongated regions of velocity excess and deficit ubiquitous in transitional and turbulent wall-bounded flows. Their prevalence has been explained by linear analyses showing that they are the most amplified disturbances in linearly stable laminar and turbulent shear flows.

I will show that wind turbines can be used as "streak generators" to replace the (low-speed) rotor wakes with coherent high-speed streaks. When applied to wind farms, this approach leads to significant gains in the total power extracted from the wind.

Maximum power gains are obtained when the transverse spacing of the wind turbines and of the large-scale forced streaks is of the same order as the spacing of the large-scale coherent streaks which are naturally amplified (in the absence of turbines) in turbulent boundary layers.
Enabling Improved Aircraft Performance Through Floating Folding Wing Tips
Authors: Cooper Jonathan
Published: October 2024

There is much current effort devoted towards achieving net zero emissions from aircraft; however, it will be many years before aircraft are powered by the likes of Sustainable Aviation Fuel, Hydrogen or electrical means.  Consequently, any concept that enables reduced fuel burn – and hence generates less emissions – will be extremely beneficial in the short term, and also in the future.  This presentation will provide an overview of the work at the University of Bristol relating to the use of floating folding wingtips to facilitate higher aspect ratios (lower drag), meet airport gate restrictions, enable gust loads alleviation and improve roll performance.   The talk will refer to many tests that have been performed from blue sky concept demonstrators through to small scale flight tests.
Air quality on trains – aerodynamic interactions of exhaust and HVAC systems
Authors: Soper David
Published: October 2024

Air quality is known to have significant health impacts from both short- and long-term exposure. As a significant contributor, the transport sector is working to reduce its adverse impact; however, the impact of rail transport on air quality at local levels, particularly within enclosed spaces (e.g. stations and onboard trains), is still not fully understood.

With  30% of rail traction diesel-powered, previously studies have shown that in certain conditions pollution concentrations exceed prescribed EU limits in enclosed stations. Although these studies offer insight into issues at particular strategic locations, there have been none which address issues and identify mitigation measures to risks associated with poor air quality for both passengers and train crews onboard trains for typical journeys. This seminar will present work conducted as part of the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) Clean Air Research programme on project “T1234 Air Quality on Trains - HVAC and Exhaust Interactions Study”, which focused on providing better understanding of rail’s direct contribution to air pollution onboard trains. The project aimed to determine how exhaust emissions and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems interact and impact levels of air pollution onboard passenger trains, establishing factors that can be changed to improve air quality.

The programme covered a wide range of techniques, from computational studies through to model- and full- experimental validation. Findings indicated that the design configuration of train roofs were particularly important when considering the interaction of exhaust gases with HVAC systems and that simple alterations in design and shape of the roof and exhaust pipe, as well as the HVAC placement and operation could lead to large improvements in onboard air quality
Economic Policy Uncertainty and Banking Stability in WAEMU Countries: The Role of Banking Specificities
Authors: Seraphin Prao Yao , DIABATE Salimata , Fabrice Mea Anzara Xavier
Published: October 2024

This paper analyses the effect of economic policy uncertainty on banking stability, taking into account bank size, capital and liquidity. The study covers WAEMU countries with the exception of Guinea-Bissau, for which data were not available. The data used come mainly from GFDD (2024) and WDI (2024). Using Bruno's (2005) LSDVC estimator, the main results show that economic policy uncertainty has a negative effect on bank stability. However, when accounting for interactions between uncertainty and bank characteristics such as size, capital, and liquidity, these factors appear to mitigate this negative effect. Thus, larger, better capitalized banks with adequate liquidity are better prepared to withstand periods of economic uncertainty. These findings highlight the importance of enhanced supervision of banks to ensure their compliance with capital and liquidity standards.

El siguiente proyecto de innovación va dirigido a los estudiantes de tercer año del Módulo de Fundamentos en Prótesis Fija I de la Carrera de Odontología de la Universidad de Valparaíso con el objetivo de incorporar una herramienta interactiva TIC mediante un objeto virtual de aprendizaje (OVA) respecto a la identificación y selección de los materiales e instrumental a utilizar en la práctica clínica y que favorezca la identificación de la secuencia lógica de las etapas del tratamiento protésico. La institución cuenta con políticas tendientes a la implementación de tecnologías, pero el fortalecimiento para ello es débil debido a la carga académica y falta de perfeccionamiento docente. Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) surgen como necesidad de la sociedad actual, existiendo una brecha en su conocimiento entre docentes y estudiantes, siendo su uso e implementación aún inexistentes en la Carrera. Los cambios e incorporación de tecnología vienen a suplir esta deficiencia, que nos permite preguntarnos ¿Cómo incorporar una herramienta TIC interactiva mediante un objeto virtual de aprendizaje que permita de manera efectiva, la transferencia de la teoría a la práctica para el aprendizaje de los estudiantes del módulo de Fundamentos en Prótesis Fija I de la Carrera de Odontología de la Universidad de Valparaíso respecto a la identificación y selección de los materiales e instrumental a utilizar en la práctica clínica con pacientes y que les permita secuenciar de manera lógica las etapas del tratamiento protésico?.

This study critically examines the evolution and application of environmental compliance monitoring within the oil and gas industry, with an emphasis on the integration of modern technologies to address regulatory challenges. The purpose of the research is to explore how advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), blockchain, and big data analytics can enhance the accuracy, transparency, and efficiency of environmental compliance. Through a comprehensive review of relevant literature, regulatory frameworks, and case studies, this paper uncovers the critical gaps and opportunities in the current compliance practices. The methodology involves a qualitative analysis of existing regulations, compliance mechanisms, and emerging trends in environmental monitoring. Key areas such as the influence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks, the role of Regulatory Technologies (RegTech), and the impact of cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) were explored in detail. The study reveals that technological advancements, particularly in AI and blockchain, offer significant improvements in real-time monitoring, data accuracy, and regulatory transparency. These innovations mitigate environmental risks by providing predictive insights, automating compliance processes, and ensuring verifiable reporting systems. The main findings suggest that while the industry is making progress, there remains a need for wider adoption of these technologies to meet the increasing complexity of environmental regulations. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of continuous investment in advanced monitoring systems and the cultivation of a transparent, accountable corporate culture. The paper recommends that oil and gas companies proactively embrace these innovations to maintain competitiveness and ensure long-term sustainability in an increasingly regulated global market.
