Published: July 2023

Understanding the relationship between operations management practices, capacity expansion decisions, and the mediating role of outsourcing is essential for organizations seeking to optimize their operations in dynamic market environments. Therefore, this study is aimed to empirically evaluate the relationship between operations management practices and capacity expansion decision with mediating role of outsourcing strategy. Pharmaceutical industry was targeted to gather respondent’s data in order to statistically evaluate. 175 respondent’s data from 18 pharmaceutical companies were incorporated and examined using SmartPLS 4.0. As a result, operations management practices play a crucial role in evaluating the need for capacity expansion, optimizing processes, analyzing risks, and aligning operations with strategic goals. However, the outsourcing strategy acts as a mediating factor that influences the final decision. The outsourcing strategy considers cost-effectiveness, flexibility, core competency focus, risk management, and strategic alignment. By incorporating the outsourcing strategy, organizations can make informed decisions that maximize operational efficiency and support long-term growth objectives.

Background: Osteoarthritis of the knee (OA) and osteoporosis are two conditions that have a significant impact on society, have a great impact on quality of life, and can lead to functional impairment. However, the relationship between knee OA and osteoporosis is unclear. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine if there is a link between symptomatic advanced knee osteoarthritis and low bone mineral density. Methods: A total of 430 patients with symptomatic and advanced radiographic knee OA served as participants in this study. Plain radiographs were used to screen participants for osteoarthritis, and a Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scan was used to determine each participant’s bone mineral density (BMD). Results: The lumbar spine, whole femur, and femoral neck BMD levels were statistically higher in the early OA (Kelldren-Lawrence (KL) I and II) group compared with the advanced (III and IV) OA group. Higher BMD at the whole femur and femoral neck but not at the lumbar spine was observed when comparing patients with grades I, II, and III with patients with grade IV after adjustment for body mass index. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that the degree of knee OA is correlated with a decline in BMD. These findings lend credence to the theory that the two conditions may be linked to one another. Our study concluded that patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis are at risk of developing osteoporosis. As a result, orthopedic doctors are required to screen for osteoporosis in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis to both prevent and treat osteoporosis at an earlier stage.

Published: July 2023

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a diverse disease with various clinical, pathological and molecular features that affect tumor biological behavior, treatment response and prognosis. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between metabolic 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters (SUVmax, MTV and TLG) and CEA in recurrent and metastatic CRC and to evaluate prognostic value of metabolic 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters in recurrent and metastatic CRC. Methods: A descriptive study of 100 patients with previously detected and surgically treated CRC referred to PET/CT with a suspicion of recurrent or metastatic CRC. CEA was measured within three months from the imaging. A low-dose PET/CT was performed per institutional protocol. For each hypermetabolic lesion, metabolic PET/CT parameters (SUVmax, MTV, TLG) were calculated semiautomatically. Pathohistology or clinical data from the follow-up were used as the gold standard. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV for 18F-FDG PET/CT and CEA in detection of recurrent or metastatic CRC were calculated. Correlation between CEA and SUVmax, MTV and TLG was calculated, separately. To assess the prognostic values of metabolic parameters in CRC, survival analysis with 18-month progression-free survival (PFS) as an endpoint was performed. Microsoft Excel sheets, ROC and Kaplan-Meier curves were used to present the data. Logrank and Tarone-Ware test and Cox model of proportional hazards were used to compare the groups. Results: Study included 100 patients, 45 males and 55 females, age range 36-81 years, mean age 61,4 years. Cancer site was colon in 56% and rectum in 44%. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of 18F-FDG PET/CT in detection of recurrent or metastatic CRC was 95%, 73%, 70% and 95%, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of CEA in detection of recurrent or metastatic CRC was 58%, 96%, 91% and 78%, respectively. SUVmax, MTV and TLG positively correlated with CEA, but only CEA-TLG correlation was considered significant (r=0,67). The regression model analysis revealed: SUVmax (HR=0,63, 95%CI=0,28-1,41, p=0,214), MTV (0,59, 95%CI=0,28-1,22, p=0,111) and TLG (HR=0,45 95%CI=0,21-0,99, p=0,028), and the prognostic role in CRC was proven for TLG only. Conclusion: Metabolic 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters may have the prognostic value in CRC, but further multicentric prospective studies are required for validation.

Published: July 2023

Background: The body has a thermoregulation setting where when it gets hot, the body responds by dilating blood vessels or vasodilation, otherwise it gets a cold response, which causes narrowing of blood vessels or vasoconstriction. The thermal conditioning system is a system that can influence the baby in terms of its thermal quality. So that the baby can feel a comfortable environment or not. Skin temperature is a fundamental factor in heat exchange between the body and its environment. Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of thermal exposure to carbon fiber filaments in the thermoreceptor area on the physiological response of hypothermic baby rabbits to changes in body temperature, to analyze the time needed for physiological adaptation of the body’s skin to occur and to analyze the response of the thermoreceptor area on the head, neck, chest, arms, wrists, soles of the feet, to changes in each local area of the body. Methods: The research method used is pure experimental or laboratory experimental, with a post-test only control group design approach that uses experimental animals as experimental objects. The treatment in this study was using baby rabbits. The Sampling of test animals was carried out using simple random sampling. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20. The confidence level was set at 95% by one way ANOVA test. Results: The results showed that the response of the thermoreceptor area to thermal exposure on the neck was the highest with an average of 39.77’. Conclusion: Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that there was an effect of thermal exposure to carbon fiber filaments in the thermoreceptor area on the physiological response of hypothermic baby rabbit models to changes in body temperature.

Authors: Keshlaf Marwan , Mirwan Hamida , Ghana Salah , Mubrok Salem , Shaibi Taher
Published: July 2023

Background:
Primary key pest affecting the apiculture business in many areas of the globe is the ecto-parasite varroa mite (Varroa destructor), recently, bee lice has become a considerable bee pest.
Aim:
In this study, the ecto-parasites that infest honey bees, were investigated during the spring of 2013.
Methods:
A total of 66 apiaries were investigated from different geographical regions in Libya: 34 apiaries from the southern region, 21 apiaries from the north-eastern region, and 11 apiaries from the north-western region. Three bee colonies were randomly chosen from each apiary (316 colonies). From each colony, 300 worker bees were taken as samples, put in container filled with 100 ml of alcohol, and transported to the Honey bee Laboratory - Plant Protection Department at the University of Tripoli's. The parasites were separated from the bees and identified, and the infestation rates were calculated.
Results:
The study of the parasite distribution clearly showed that varroa mites were present in all regions. However, the degree of mite density varies not only between apiaries but also between colonies in the same apiary, while the bee louse, Barulla coeca, was detected in 23.1% and 5.8% of apiaries in the western region and southern region of Libya, respectively. On the other hand, all the inspected apiaries in the northern region were not infested.
Conclusion:
Lack of knowledge about honey bee parasites, poor management practices and the lack of proper distance between hives of migrated apiaries have been attributed as the possible reason for the spread of these two parasites especially the varroa mites in the country.

Published: July 2023

Objective: Sedoanalgesia is an anesthesia method that is preferred mostly in outside the operating room interventions and some short-term surgeries, allowing the procedure to be performed by using sedative and dissociative agents alone or together. Closed technique septoplasty operation is also an operation that can be performed with sedoanalgesia. The aim of this study is to compare the sedative and analgesic effects of ketamine and propofol combination and midazolam and fentanyl combination, surgical satisfaction and patient satisfaction in patients who underwent closed technique septoplasty operation. Methods: After ethics committee approval, 60 ASA I and II patients were included in the study by dividing into 2 groups. Patients who used ketamine and propofol for sedoanalgesia were named Group 1 (ketofol), and patients who used midazolam and fentanyl were named Group 2 (midafenta). The data of the patients were recorded from the intraoperative anesthesia forms and the postoperative recovery unit forms. Complications, side effects, surgery and patient satisfaction were questioned. Results: Mean arterial pressure was found to be significantly lower in the ketofol group at the 3rd minute after induction than in the midfenta group. The sedation score in the midafenta group at the 10th and 20th minutes intraoperatively was significantly lower than in the ketofol group. There was no significant difference in patient satisfaction, but surgical satisfaction was significantly higher in the midafenta group. Conclusion: In closed technique septoplasty operations, sedoanalgesia applied with ketofol and midafenta methods can be used without the need for general anesthesia. However, ketofol, which is highly preferred for sedoanalgesia, did not provide sufficient surgical satisfaction in patients who underwent closed technique septoplasty. We attributed this to the dissociation of the patients and their inability to comply with surgical commands. Keywords: Propofol, ketamine, midazolam, fentanyl

Objective: Our study aimed to investigate whether primarily hemostasis parameters and secondarily demographic, clinical, and laboratory values could predict the mortality of critically ill Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Methods: We retrospectively examined 180 laboratory-confirmed adult intensive care unit (ICU) patients with COVID-19. A total of 145 patients with complete records were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: deceased (n=58) and discharged (n=87). The demographic and clinical characteristics of the two groups, use of vasopressor therapy, requirement for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, duration of ICU stay, and the relationship between laboratory values on ICU admission and mortality were evaluated using cutoff values. Results: Among hemostatic parameters, only D-dimer>1.08 mg L-1 was found to be a significant predictor of mortality (p=0.04), while platelet, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), International Normalized Ratio (INR) and fibrinogen values were not significantly associated with mortality (p>0.05). In addition, age >76 years, hypertension (HT), need for IMV, APACHE II score >23, procalcitonin (PCT) >0.21 μg L-1, lymphocytes <0.4 109 L-1, interleukin 6 (IL-6) >93 pg mL-1 were found to be predictors of mortality (p<0.05). Neutrophil and C-reactive protein (CRP) values were not significantly associated with mortality (p>0.05). ABSTRACT Conclusion: Our study determined that advanced age, HT, high APACHE II score, requirement for IMV, vasopressor therapy, PCT, lymphocyte count, IL-6, and D-dimer levels could serve as predictors of mortality. Identifying predictors of mortality in COVID-19 is valuable for early recognition of disease progression and management of potential complications.

An Efﬁcient Hybrid Bi-LSTM Attention Model for Claims Extraction from Research Articles through Deep Learning
Authors: Asif Salma , Aiman Khan
Published: July 2023

The research literature is growing rapidly. A research article contains massive amounts of textual information. Claims are the most significant information in a research article that needs to be retrieved to understand the gist of the research work. A research article contains a number of claims in different sections (abstract, introduction, results, and discussion) of an article. A literature review shows that a few studies of claim extraction have been conducted and they are limited to extracting claims from the abstract section of the article only. In existing studies claims are classified either on the basis of the keywords or all the words. In existing works semantics and context are ignored, and Bag of Words (BoW) representation is used. Deep learning architectures such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) have the potential to produce better results through the use of deep learning. Attention mechanism and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) have been used for multiple tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and give effective results. In this work, we propose a hybrid Bi-LSTM attention model. Bi-LSTM model captures the long-term sequences of words and the attention mechanism highlights the important words or keywords in text. A number of experiments have been performed on research articles claim and standard IBM datasets. We verified our proposed model on two datasets for claim/non-claim classification and our model gives 96.7% and 95% on both datasets. The results show that our proposed model through deep learning outperforms existing models.
US Incursion in Afghanistan: Right or Necessity
Authors: Oluwaseun Samuel Ayoko
Published: July 2023

Throughout history, Afghanistan has been beset by warlords, internal strife and also subjected to foreign invasions. In the nineteenth and early twentieth century’s, it was at the centre of the “Great Game” played between the Russian Empire and British India. In the late twentieth century the last Afghan War, which involved the mujahedeen with support from Pakistan, the US and other powers on one side and the Afghan communist government and the Soviet Union on the other, ended with the latter’s withdrawal in 1989. In the mujahedeen and Taliban, the people of Afghanistan hoped for a future of peace and prosperity, rather than the hostility that was to come. In the aftermath of the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US, international forces invaded the country. Although the Taliban were toppled within a month, much was left to rebuild and reconstruct. This paper delineates the role US played in Afghanistan, why did the US went there in the first place, to what extent can we say US has rights to be in Afghanistan, which mandate are they fulfilling and what are the reasons behind their pulling back? These and many more questions are what this paper attempt to answer.
The Source of Semi-Primeness of Γ-Rings
Authors: ARSLAN Okan , DÜZKAYA Nurcan
Published: July 2023

The notion of source of semi-primeness is firstly given by Aydın, Demir and Camcı in 2018 as
the set of all elements a of R that satisfy aRa 􀀀 0 for any associative ring R. They investigated some
basic properties of this set and defined three types of rings which have not appeared in literature before.
The theory of gamma ring has been introduced by Nobusawa in 1964 as a generalization of rings. In this
work, we generalized the notion of source of semi-primeness for gamma rings and investigated its basic
algebraic properties. We also defined SSMS -strongly reduced Γ-ring, SSMS -domain, SSMS -division ring and
examined the relationship between these structures. We determined all possible characteristic values of a
SSMS -domain and proved every finite SSMS -domain Γ-ring M is a SSMS -division Γ-ring.

Authors: KAYA Onur
Published: July 2023

In this paper, we introduce a new type of non-lightlike general helix that we name non-lightlike
associated helix which is associated with a non-lightlike special surface curve. By using the Darboux frame
of a surface curve, we generate the position vector of a non-lightlike associated helix in parametric form.
We investigate special cases when the non-lightlike surface curve is a helical curve, a relatively normal-slant
helix or an isophote curve. In every case, we obtain the position vector of the non-lightlike associated helix
by solving differential equations and examples are given for the achieved results.

THE STRENGTH WITHIN LAYERS: ANALYZING PLA TENSILE STRENGTH IN 3D PRINTING
Authors: GUNASEKARAN S
Published: July 2023

One of the most popular Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques is Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), sometimes referred to as 3D printing. It is based on the extrusion of a thermoplastic filament. Lightweight items can be constructed utilising a variety of infill procedures and ratios thanks to layer wise technology. Furthermore, components with varied properties can be produced by adjusting other factors like temperature, printing speed, or layer thickness. Since Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biobased and biodegradable plastic, it is one of the least expensive and most environmentally friendly materials for 3D printing. It is commonly used in 3D printing among amateurs and in communities like the Fab lab or the Makers movement. In order to determine how key 3D printing factors affect the tensile strength of PLA products, Design of Experiment (DOE) is used in this work. In order to accomplish this, a 4x3 factorial plane with one replication was built and utilised to 3D print tensile PLA material samples. The findings of the tensile test demonstrate that for the resistance of PLA products, the layer thickness is more important than the infill. According to the values of these four factors, a regression model is also suggested to enable the user to forecast the final tensile strength of PLA products

Published: July 2023

This research study focuses on the classification that may be accomplished through the detection of human facial expression using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The network is able to classify emotions and play music based on the user's identified facial expression. The suggested approach successfully and implicitly classifies the expression into happy, sad, angry, disgusted, fear, and neutral by leveraging the Convolutional Neural Network architecture. By playing music that is customized to the user's current mood, the smart music player has the potential to enhance the listening experience. The player might also be used to assist people in controlling their emotions by playing music that, depending on how they are feeling at the time, can help them unwind, feel joyful, or reduce tension. In order to play the appropriate songs from a remote database depending on the user's mood, the smart music player primarily employs the system camera to detect the user's facial expression. The database will play a random song from the happy playlist if the system determines that the user is in a happy mood. This process is repeated for the other five emotions. Key Words: Facial expression, Emotion Detection, Convolutional Neural Networks, Different Playlists.

Authors: Aditya R
Published: July 2023

Many industrial applications and production technologies are based on the application of ultrasound. In many cases, the phenomenon of ultrasound is also applied in the technological processing of the machining of materials. The main element of equipment that uses the effect of ultrasound for machining is the ultrasonic horn. It is also called a sonotrode. The performance of ultrasonic machining technologies depends on the properly designed sonotrode shape. The dependence of fundamental modal properties (natural frequencies, mode shapes) of various sonotrode shapes for various geometrical parameters is analyzed. Modal analysis of the models is determined by the numerical simulation using the finite element method (FEM) design procedure. In ultrasonic machining, the ultrasonic horn plays a vital part in the high-energy machining process. Electric discharge machining (EDM) is used to achieve high processing quality but the machining efficiency is low. The new (EDM+USM) is used for high machining efficiency. The acoustic analysis of the ultrasonically vibrating tool is done with the assistance of the finite element method (FEM) so that it can be used for EDM applications. Key Words: Modal analysis, Ultrasonic horn, Numerical analysis, efficiency of machining, acoustic analysis.

Se cuestiona si el jardín adyacente al domicilio privado del trabajador puede considerarse un espacio reservado opaco a terceras personas. Si la respuesta es afirmativa, el trabajador tendría una expectativa de privacidad en relación con las actividades que desarrolla en él, siendo inaceptables, por tanto, las fotografías que haya obtenido el detective en ese lugar. Si, por el contrario, la respuesta es negativa, la prueba aportada puede servir para justificar el despido disciplinario por desarrollar actividades incompatibles con las dolencias con las que cursa la enfermedad que le ha llevada a suspender su contrato de trabajo por incapacidad temporal.

It addresses whether the garden adjacent to the worker's private home can be considered an opaque space reserved for third parties. If the answer is affirmative, the worker would have an expectation of privacy in relation to the activities carried out there, therefore, the photographs obtained by the detective in that place are unacceptable. If, on the contrary, the answer is negative, the evidence provided can be used to justify the disciplinary dismissal for carrying out activities incompatible with the ailments with which the disease is presenting that has led him to suspend his employment contract due to temporary disability.

Célkitűzés: Egyéves myopiaprogresszió vizsgálata Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segment (DIMS) technológiájú szemüveglencsével. Betegek és módszerek: Vizsgálatunkban 4 és 16 év közötti, DIMS-technológián alapuló szemüveglencsét (MiYOSMART, Hoya) viselő gyermekek egyéves myopia progressziós változásait (szférikus ekvivalens dioptria és bulbushossz), valamint a gyermekek szemüveglencse-viselést kísérő szubjektív tapasztalatait kísértük figyelemmel, és hasonlítottuk össze az irodalmi adatokkal. Eredmények: A vizsgálatba bevont gyermekek átlagéletkora a tanulmány kezdetekor 10,58±3,4 év volt. 5 fiú és 7 leánygyermek került bevonásra a vizsgálatba. A kezdeti korrekció szférikus ekvivalense (SE) –4,24±1,92 dioptria (min.: –1,50 dioptria, max.: –7,00 dioptria) volt. Az egyéves myopiaprogresszió a SE-dioptriaváltozás alapján –0,34±0,3 dioptria volt. 4 beteg esetében (33,33%) az éves myopiaprogresszió nem haladta meg a –0,25 dioptriát a SE-értékek alapján. A bulbushossz átlagos éves növekedése 0,1±0,06 mm volt (min.: 0,02 mm, max.: 0,26 mm). Vizsgálatunkban a DIMS-lencsét viselő gyermekek egyéves myopiaprogressziója az európai (egyfókuszú lencsét viselő betegekkel összevetve szignifikánsan kisebb értékű) eredményekkel csaknem azonos volt. Az új szemüveglencsét minden gyermeknek sikerült néhány napon belül megszoknia. Következtetés: A DIMS-technológia egy ígéretes, noninvazív terápiás lehetőségnek tűnik a myopiaprogresszió lassítása céljából.

Leaf diseases in trees and plants are important factors that directly affect the yield of agricultural products. This problem may cause a decrease in the production capacity and profitability of farmers. For this reason, computer-aided detection and classification systems are needed to accurately detect plant diseases. In recent years, learning algorithms and image-processing techniques have been used effectively in the agricultural sector. In this study, the efficiency of transfer learning and data augmentation methods on a dataset consisting of lemon leaf images is examined and the classification of diseased and healthy lemon leaf images is performed. In our study, VGG16, ResNet50, and DenseNet201 transfer learning methods were applied both with and without data increment, and the effect of data augmentation on performance was evaluated. Among the deep transfer learning methods used, DenseNet201 gave the highest accuracy rate with 98.29%. This study shows that transfer learning methods can effectively distinguish between diseased and healthy lemon leaves. It has also been observed that data augmentation does not always provide performance improvement. In future studies, it is predicted that it will be appropriate to evaluate the effect of data augmentation more effectively by applying deep transfer learning methods to plants with different class numbers.

La queilitis no siempre es una entidad banal, por ello es imprescindible hacer una buena anamnesis para llegar a un correcto diagnóstico y tratamiento teniendo en cuenta la etiología. En pediatría, la causa más frecuente es la hipersalivación y, por tanto, la solución de esta será clave para la resolución del problema.
Ante la sospecha de sobreinfección bacteriana, puede valorarse realizar un cultivo de la lesión, para no dar tratamiento antibiótico si no es necesario, y evitar resistencias futuras. El tratamiento tópico con pauta corta suele ser suficiente, salvo afectación sistémica.
Una queilitis actínica podría desarrollar un carcinoma epidermoide in situ, por lo que se recomienda el uso de protección solar, seguimiento a largo plazo y biopsias de lesiones sospechosas.
Ante una queilitis, también se debe pensar en enfermedades emergentes, como la COVID-19 y la viruela del mono, sobre todo si el paciente presenta afectación sistémica.

Introducción. La prescripción social es el proceso de recomendación de activos beneficiosos para la salud y bienestar. Para ello es necesario conocer los activos de la comunidad de trabajo. El fotovoz es una técnica de investigación participativa que permite conocer una comunidad con la fotografía.

Objetivos. Elaborar un fotovoz con los activos de salud de la comunidad.

Métodos. Se formó a profesionales y se hizo un paseo comunitario para identificar y fotografiar activos de la comunidad. Se hizo una puesta en común de las fotografías recogidas y una selección. Se creó un fotovoz que se expuso en el centro.

Resultados. Un total de 17 profesionales sanitarios hicieron 91 fotografías a activos. Se hizo una selección y se llevó a cabo una discusión, y como resultado, se creó un fotovoz con 16 activos.

Conclusión. El fotovoz es un proceso participativo basado en la comunidad que permite mejorar el conocimiento que los profesionales sanitarios tienen sobre los recursos de salud disponibles en su entorno y hacer una prescripción social.

Palabras clave: prescripción social, modelo salutogénico, activos de salud, salud comunitaria.
A rejeição do isolamento social no contexto da pandemia em Angola: análise sociológica sobre a interrupção do quotidiano dos kupapatas em Angola
Authors: Sacata Narciso Rodrigues Cassoma , Inglês Paulo Jorge Quiteque
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa sobre a rejeição do isolamento social, decorrente do estado de emergência decretado pelo governo angolano. Explora-se a noção de vida quotidiana, como um reservatório de previsões e que permite os indivíduos e grupos organizarem o seu dia-a-dia e a partir da qual construírem as suas vidas. O isolamento social é percebido, no contexto do estudo, não como uma medida de proteção contra o vírus, portanto, um artefacto político de gestão da saúde pública, mas como um elemento desestabilizador do quotidiano, que impede a previsão, ou, por exemplo, o provimento de alimentos para as famílias. A rejeição do isolamento social surge, no contexto do estudo, não como um ato de protesto político-económico, mas como um mecanismo de gerir, por parte dos trabalhadores informais, a interrupção do seu quotidiano. A pesquisa foi realizada com moto-taxistas, kupapatas, na periferia da cidade de Benguela, no centro-sul de Angola. A pesquisa é qualitativa, como técnica de recolha de dados adotou-se pela entrevista em profundidade. Os resultados da pesquisa levaram a conclusão de que os factores da rejeição do isolamento social são a fome, as prioridades e o significado que os kupapatas atribuem a fome e ao isolamento social.

O uso desenfreado de fármacos gera graves problemas ambientais, como a contaminação dos recursos hídricos e, quando não tratados de forma correta, podem atingir as águas que abastecem as residências, tornando-se um problema emergente à saúde pública. O proceso de adsorção tem sido alvo de diversas pesquisas, devido aos benefícios apresentados, como excelentes resultados na remoção de diversos tipos de poluentes, além de ser econômicamente viável. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho é estudar o uso de alguns biadsorventes de origem agroindustrial (casca de arroz, serragem de eucalipto Citriodora, serragem de eucalipto Grandis, bagaço de cana de açúcar e resíduo de Ganoderma lucidun) e carvão ativo, na remoção de dois fármacos comerciais conhecidos (dipirona sódica mono-hidratada e ibuprofeno) em água de sistemas simulado em laboratório. A partir do equipamento espectofotômetro UV/VIS quantificou-se a porcentagem de remoção dos bioadsorventes para ambos os fármacos em comparação com o carvão ativado. Os resultados mostraram que o eucalipto Citriodora, seguido do eucalipto Grandis, apresentaram os maiores valores de remoção de dipirona em água, sendo 17,3 e 12,8%, respectivamente, já para o ibuprofeno, o eucalipto Grandis removeu 6,84% do fármaco presente em água. O carvão ativo comercial foi o adsorvente que apresentou os melhores resultados, no entanto, ressalta-se que os bioadsorventes foram utilizados na forma in natura, ou seja, sem nenhum tratamento prévio.

O presente artigo tem a finalidade de refletir sobre as posições de um autor clássico, Émile Durkheim, e suas contribuições epistemológicas e metodológicas para se pensar o mundo social contemporâneo, procurando problematizá-las. Nesse contexto, ambicionamos discutir teoricamente, a partir de suas contribuições, no sentido de uma apropriação de seu arcabouço sociológico para a compreensão de fenômenos sociais da contemporaneidade, notadamente no âmbito da abordagem epistemológica e metodológica durkheimiana. Do ponto de vista metodológico, trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica.
Decisões financeiras além da razão: um Estudo com discentes de graduação em uma escola de Negócios sobre finanças comportamentais e a “teoria do prospecto"
Authors: Figueiredo Neto Leonardo Francisco , Costa Leandro Luan Gomes , Teixeira Wladimir Machado
Published: July 2023

As finanças comportamentais estudam como as pessoas nem sempre agem de maneira racional quando tomam decisões financeiras. Isso acontece devido a vieses cognitivos, que podem levar a erros ou desvios sistemáticos. Pesquisas estão sendo realizadas para entender melhor os aspectos psicológicos e expandir o campo comportamental na tomada de decisões. Neste estudo, nosso objetivo foi examinar o comportamento das pessoas ao lidar com riscos, utilizando um método desenvolvido por Kahneman e Tversky (1979), em estudantes da Escola de Negócios da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul. Para este estudo de natureza descritiva, aplicou-se um questionário constituído de  perguntas abertas e fechadas, onde os participantes deveriam tomar uma decisão acerca dos prospectos apresentados Com base nos resultados, observou-se que os participantes tendem a dar um valor excessivo às situações de certeza quando se trata de ganhos financeiros. Por outro lado, quando se trata de evitar perdas, eles estão mais dispostos a correr riscos para minimizá-las. Esses comportamentos são inconsistentes com as ideias básicas da Teoria da Utilidade Esperada e das Finanças Modernas.
