OS PRINCIPAIS OBSTÁCULOS PARA A EFETIVIDADE DO CONTROLE INTERNO EM ÂMBITO MUNICIPAL
Authors: Vilhena Daniela
Published: June 2024

Os sistemas de controle interno em âmbito municipal possuem peculiaridades e  maior dificuldade para a implementação, conforme delineado por cartilhas dos Tribunais de Contas Brasileiros, o que torna imprescindível aos gestores a estruturação de uma unidade central de controle, além da obrigatoriedade  prevista na Constituição Federal e na Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal. O papel do controle interno em todos os âmbitos federativos, além de garantir a transparência das contas públicas, pode ser definido como um meio extremamente eficaz, se bem implementado, para obtenção de resultados positivos na gestão pública e do tão almejado combate à corrupção, principalmente nos Municípios menores e carentes de infraestrutura organizada. Contudo, é primordial que as ações de controle interno sejam aperfeiçoadas de forma contínua e permanente para que se possa atingir níveis satisfatórios de desempenho e busca de qualidade superior nos serviços oferecidos aos cidadãos com o intuito  da promoção do Interesse Público. Com a efetiva implementação do controle interno, a Administração Pública garante à sociedade instrumentos de transparência na gestão dos recursos públicos, sintonizado com o princípio de maior Accountability por parte dos gestores, cumprindo com os ditames de uma gestão  responsável em atendimento às exigências da Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal, às mudanças das Normas Brasileiras de Contabilidade Aplicadas ao Setor Público, às imposições legais (Lei de acesso à Informação, Transparência  Pública etc.), ao controle de riscos e Governança, bem como a garantia do cumprimento da atribuição constitucional determinada ao Controle Interno de apoiar o Controle Externo no exercício de sua missão institucional.

Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), o parto prematuro é o nascimento que ocorre entre 20 e 37 semanas. Nesse sentido, espera-se de uma gestação um final sadio e com mínimos traumas à mãe. Contudo, não é sempre possível, devido à intercorrências na gravidez, o que pode acarretar parto prematuro ou intervenção cirúrgica. Esse cenário e prevalência podem estar associado a fatores como: idade materna inferior a 18 anos e superior a 40 anos, bacteriúria, nível socioeconômico, doenças crônicas, tabagismo e uso de drogas. Dessa forma, o objetivo desta pesquisa é coletar e analisar os dados referentes à prematuridade e os aos fatores associados, a fim de compreender os impactos desses fatores e assegurar uma melhor resolução clínica frente à qualidade de vida materna e dos recém-nascidos. A presente pesquisa caracteriza-se por uma revisão narrativa, sendo o processo de coleta de materiais foi conduzido de maneira não sistemática, durante os anos 2014 a 2023. O estudo foi consultado em bases de dados como: Scielo, Medline, Lilacs, Pubmed e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Para orientar as buscas, foram utilizados os seguintes indexadores abordados nos Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DECS): Prematuridade; Recém-Nascido Prematuro, Trabalho de Parto Prematuro, Cuidado Pré-Natal, Prevalência. Como conclusão, foi possível observar os diversos fatores associados à prematuridade, em destaque para os fatores cardiológicos, gastroenterológicos, hematopoiéticos, osteomusculares, neurológicos e endocrinológicos, estes que estão intrinsecamente relacionados ao acompanhamento inadequado do pré-natal.

Leibniz, un cartésien contre la philosophie de Descartes
Authors: TEIXEIRA WILLIAM
Published: June 2024

Cet article a pour but d’avancer l’hypothèse selon laquelle, malgré la désignation de philosophe cartésien que l’on attribue traditionnellement à Leibniz, il semble au contraire qu’il a été l’un des plus agressifs opposants au système philosophique élaboré par Descartes. Ayant ce but en vue, on va d’abord discuter l’attaque que Leibniz a déclenchée contre la méthodologie cartésienne. Ensuite, on présente les raisons qui ont aménées Leibniz à rejeter les notions fondamentales de la métaphysique cartésienne. Après cela, on arrive à l’analyse du vigoureux refus dont la physique de Descartes a été l’objet. Finalement, de ces discussions on pourra conclure que, contrairement à ce qui a été retenu par l’histoire de la philosophie, Leibniz se voyait et agissait comme un penseur tout à fait anti-cartésien.
O progresso da humanidade com o estabelecimento de uma constituição civil cosmopolita segundo Kant
Authors: HENNING VANESSA
Published: June 2024

Este trabalho apresenta a análise filosófica que Kant faz da história, para entender como o progresso da humanidade acontece mediante uma finalidade da natureza em fazer o indivíduo desenvolver as suas disposições naturais voltadas ao uso da razão, de modo que todos eles busquem estabelecer uma sociedade civil. Para tanto será examinado o conceito de insociabilidade sociável e entendido como condição para que os homens vivam em sociedade, bem como estabeleçam leis que garantam a sua segurança e tranquilidade. A propensão do homem em socializar-se, ao mesmo tempo em isolar-se dos outros indivíduos, para que sua vontade não seja submetida a de outrem, o faz chegar a um acordo político que permite a todos viverem em sociedade, garantindo suas liberdades sob leis. Essa conquista se dá pelo uso da razão, responsável por tornar os homens capazes de melhorar suas aptidões e atingir, assim, o desenvolvimento cultural. Desse modo, nota-se que o progresso da história está atrelado a um recurso teleológico [“a astúcia oculta”], quando se entende que todas as disposições humanas estão destinadas ao desenvolvimento conforme a um fim. Será esse recurso que explicará a constituição de um sistema jurídico cosmopolita perfeitamente justo para que se promova a paz entre os povos.
Filosofia da agronomia:
Authors: ALBRECHT LEANDRO PAIOLA , ALBRECHT ALFREDO JUNIOR PAIOLA
Published: June 2024

A agronomia é uma ciência relevante na contemporaneidade e que necessita de maior reflexão filosófica. O desenvolvimento histórico da agronomia, em seu regime de produção de conhecimento e tecnologia pode ser interpretado a partir de perspectivas historicistas em filosofia da ciência. Nesse estudo, o objetivo foi adotar uma abordagem feyerabendiana para análise da ciência agronômica. A filosofia da ciência de Paul Feyerabend é válida e explicativa na interpretação da agronomia, em suas posturas relacionadas a irracionalidade, ao anarquismo e ao pluralismo na ciência, podendo ser estendido aos aspectos tecnocientíficos da agronomia. A agronomia não é uma ciência com desenvolvimento linear, não é isenta de fortes fatores externos, não é necessariamente acumulativa, está imersa em subjetividades, e sofre pressões mercadológicas, ideológicas ou políticas, dependente da persuasão, propaganda, subterfúgio e retórica no seu desenvolvimento.
Exórdio à filo-literatura de Camus:
Authors: GRUMICKER FERNANDO ALVES
Published: June 2024

Visando as relações entre filosofia e literatura, especialmente a construção literária como uma maneira tanto de colocar problemas filosóficos e evidenciá-los, quanto de fomentar uma descrição de tais problemas em forma de literatura, que decorrem da relação entre dois campos do qual Albert Camus faz parte. Camus não apenas relaciona duas áreas, mas coloca suas personagens como a expressão da atmosfera pela qual as questões são eminentemente vivenciadas pela maneira em que a oposição entre homem e mundo se evidencia. A filosofia escrita em uma forma de literatura deve se contentar coma descrição, colocando e narrando em sua sucessão os problemas como questões de interesses existenciais, portanto, a literatura não explica, mas descreve, e são nas descrições de Camus e de suas questões em vivências que uma filo-literatura emerge como uma descrição que mostra a face do absurdo e dos limites explicativos.
Transumanísmo e filosofia clássica:
Authors: BRITTO CRISTHIAN DENARDI DE
Published: June 2024

O presente trabalho se ocupa do aprimoramento humano, uma hipótese ficcional recorrente no Universo Cinematográfico da Marvel que está na iminência de se tornar realidade. É o que defende o Transumanismo, um movimento filosófico intelectualque busca modificar a vida humana pela biotecnologia visando a erradicar o sofrimento (doenças, deficiências, limitações, incapacidades) e aumentar as capacidades humanas (físicas, mentais, emocionais, morais) e o bem-estar. A questão é se esse aprimoramento artificial reúne mesmo tais condições. Recorrendo à ideia cuidado de si da Filosofia Antiga, também é possível dominar a si mesmo e alcançar a liberdade, a tranquilidade e a felicidade possível. O desenvolvimento tecnológico esperado deve melhorar a qualidade de vida, mas é duvidoso que possa tornar uma vida genuinamente boa: os exercícios espirituais e as técnicas de cuidado de si podem fornecer um complemento importante. É o que se procura demonstrar, recorrendo a exemplos fictícios extraídos das narrativas do Universo Cinematográfico da Marvel, os quais apontam que o aprimoramento artificial não é condição suficiente para garantir uma vida repleta de fraternidade, êxito e satisfação, nem garante o aprimoramento ético e moral, bem como para a importância do autoconhecimento, da meditação sobre o propósito da vida e dos afetos.

As humanity burgeons, stretching the seams of global population, the chasm widens between our thirst for freshwater and its dwindling supply. Thus, the clarion call to safeguard our freshwater reservoirs and ingeniously repurpose wastewater echoes across continents
Using Deep Learning for PCB Fault Detection
Authors: Darshan Gowda K R  , Deekshith T H  , Deepak V Gowda  , Dr Manjunatha R C
Published: June 2024

Electronic components are mainly connected to one another using printed circuit boards, or PCBs. This phase holds significant importance in the production of electronic goods. The finished product may become unusable due to a minor PCB flaw. As a result, throughout the PCB manufacturing process, rigorous and thorough flaw identification procedures are essential. To guarantee the dependability and performance of electronic products, quality control and assurance procedures are essential in the electronics manufacturing process, especially when producing printed circuit boards (PCBs). Conventional inspection techniques are not always effective in locating different kinds of PCB flaws. Defect identification is essential to guaranteeing the dependability and functionality of electronic products since printed circuit boards, or PCBs, are essential parts of electronic gadgets. Conventional approaches to PCB defect detection, like manual inspection or traditional image processing methods, are frequently laborious, imprecise, and prone to human error. This research suggests utilizing the YOLOv5 model, a cutting-edge deep learning-based object detection technique, to create an automated PCB flaw detection system in order to overcome these difficulties

Published: June 2024

This study examines the correlations between types of motivation (intrinsic, extrinsic, and amotivation) and engagement in autonomous learning activities among Moroccan EFL university students. Conducted at Moulay Ismail University, the research surveyed 560 students using adapted versions of established motivational and autonomous learning questionnaires. Findings reveal a significant positive correlation between intrinsic motivation and the engagement in autonomous learning activities, suggesting that intrinsically motivated students are more likely to pursue activities that support language acquisition and independence. In contrast, extrinsic motivation was found to have a very weak negative correlation with autonomous learning, indicating its limited role in fostering learner autonomy. Amotivation showed a strong negative correlation with autonomous learning, underlining its adverse effect on students’ engagement and educational outcomes. The results emphasize the importance of enhancing intrinsic motivation and addressing amotivation to improve EFL learning experiences and outcomes.

Identification of microplastics content in milkfish (Chanos chanos), water and sediment in ponds in Muncung Village, Kronjo District
Authors: Azuri Muhammad Figo , Hermawan Dodi , Aryani Desy
Published: June 2024

Plastic is a product that is currently popular among people, but over time plastic can be dangerous for the environment. Plastic can degrade into smaller particles known as microplastics. Microplastics in waters can harm aquatic biota such as fish. The size of microplastics is so small that it easily enters the fish's body, settles in the digestive tract and affects the fish's life cycle. Apart from biota, microplastics also pollute water and sediment. The aim of this research is to determine the abundance of microplastics and identify the characteristics of microplastics in milkfish in ponds in Muncung Village. The method used is take fish from ponds at 6 stations along with water and sediment. The fish were dissected and the digestive organs and flesh were removed, while the water and sediment were treated with NaCl. The microplastics found will be tested by FTIR to determine the polymer. The results of the observations showed that there were 3 types of microplastics, namely fragments, fibers and films. The highest abundance in organs was in the intestine, while microplastics were also found in water and sediment. FTIR test results show 6 plastic polymers in milkfish, namely ABS, latex, PVC, PP, EVA and nitrile.

Published: June 2024

This research aims to develop learning media using Aquaca Diorama Media (weather aquarium). The AQUACA diorama uses aquarium glass, bright colors, and attractive images. The use of learning media in the learning process is expected to increase student participation in presenting and interpreting teaching material more excitingly. This research uses an R&D (research and development) approach. The development model that will be used in this research to develop learning media is the Borg and Gall model. The results were researched on developing R&D (Research and Development) for educational aquaca diorama media in learning. This is proven by the excellent response from students who have witnessed and practiced directly the water cycle process using dioara aquaca (Weather Aquarium) media. This media can increase students' focus on the material being presented. Of course, students will more easily understand the essence of the learning being delivered.

Background: In rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), the risk of fellow eye involvement varies from 5% to 34% according to the follow-up duration and criteria used for patient selection. The aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency, characteristics, and predisposing factors for symmetric lesions in the fellow eyes of patients with RRD or retinal breaks.
Results: Of the 68 participants, with a mean (standard deviation) age of 48 (12.1) years, 54 (79.4%) were men, and 14 (20.6%) were women. Of the 68 primary eyes, 60 (88.2%) had RRDs, and eight (11.8%) had retinal breaks. Horseshoe tears were the main lesion in 41 (68.3 %) primary eyes with RRD. Symmetric lesions were observed in 37 (54.4%) fellow eyes, including retinal breaks in 16 (43.2%) and lattice degeneration without breaks in 21 (56.8%) eyes. Lattice degeneration and multiple breaks were observed in 15 of 28 (53.6%) primary eyes with a lattice, whereas only seven of 40 (17.5%) lattice-free primary eyes had multiple breaks (P = 0.002). A multiple logistic regression model revealed that the presence of lattice degeneration in the primary eye (odds ratio, 26.91; 95% confidence interval, 4.18 – 173.20; P < 0.001) was the only factor predicting symmetricity in the fellow eye.
Conclusions: More than half of the patients with RRD or retinal breaks in the primary eye harbored symmetrical retinal lesions in their fellow eyes. This emphasizes the importance of regular examination of the fellow eyes with a greater focus on symmetric positions in the fellow eye. The presence of a lattice in the primary eye was the only predictor of symmetry in the contralateral eye. Further longitudinal studies with larger populations are required to determine the significance of these symmetric lesions in the fellow eyes of patients with RRD and the value of prophylactic treatment.
Systemic complications of intravitreal bevacizumab: a case report and literature review

Published: June 2024

Background: Systemic complications of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injections have been previously reported. We aimed to summarize the systemic complications reported in online primary studies. Moreover, we describe a patient experiencing simultaneous renal and cutaneous drug-induced adverse effects, with exacerbation of chronic renal insufficiency and granulomatous skin lesions, after receiving several IVB injections to manage bilateral ischemic branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
Case Presentation: A 69-year-old Hispanic diabetic man with chronic renal insufficiency due to polyclonal gammopathy received several IVB injections to treat bilateral ischemic BRVO. One week after the sixth injection, the patient developed acute-on-chronic renal failure and multiple rounded maculopapular, erythematous, and ulcerated skin lesions. Renal and skin biopsy specimens revealed granulomatous drug-induced responses in both organs, and granulomatous diseases of infectious and oncological sources were ruled out. We performed an electronic search of the PubMed/MEDLINE database with no language or time restrictions using the keywords “intravitreal bevacizumab” or “intravitreal Avastin” combined with “systemic side effects,” “systemic complications,” or “systemic adverse,” or “systemic adverse event.” The search yielded 147 articles published over almost two decades. After screening and assessment, we selected and summarized 40 primary studies that mentioned IVB-related systemic complications.
Conclusions: IVB-induced systemic complications, such as arteriothrombotic events, venous thrombotic events, and hypertension, are rare but potentially serious. Care should be taken when administering multiple doses of intravitreal IVB to patients with pre-existing kidney dysfunction. Bevacizumab-related toxicity must be considered in cases of sudden deterioration of renal function and / or unexpected granulomatous skin lesions in oncologic or chronically polymedicated patients.
Binding Matters
Authors: Griffin Isla

This visual essay introduces and critically reflects on a creative research project entitled ‘Spectra on the edge of embodiment,’ undertaken as part of my Master of Fine Art study in 2017 at the College of Creative Arts, Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand. The project was motivated by several questions and concerns: What is the being that is human? How does it interact with the space it occupies? Through a work of art, is it possible to convey to a viewer the metacognitive perceptions I have propagated in connecting to my interiority and how it interfaces with the world? The work took the form of an immersive spatial installation including multiple video projections accompanied by a sound loop. Occupying a darkened room within a gallery setting, it animated uniform wall surfaces and corner spaces. The video imagery originated from textural surfaces, detritus, fluids and other such flotsam and jetsam reminiscent of interior anatomies, compelling viewers to linger and wonder what the body might look like from the inside. Such a detailed imaginary view of the body’s interior environment stems from extensive cadaver studies that I undertook as part of my training as a physiotherapist.
Determination of Secondary School Students' Misconceptions About the Concept of Seed with the Four-Tier Misconception Diagnostic Test

Studies show that students have difficulty understanding topics such as fruit formation, germination and seed dispersal. The concept of seed is perceived as a general concept by students and its boundaries cannot be drawn exactly. In this context, the study aimed to determine the misconceptions of 12th grade secondary school students about seeds by developing a four-tier concept diagnostic test. For this purpose, a four-tier multiple-choice seed concept diagnostic test was developed for 12th grade secondary school students. The four-tier seed concept diagnostic test consisted of 11 questions and had a 3-factor structure. As a result of the analysis, this test was found to be valid and reliable. 30 different misconceptions were revealed with the four-tier seed concept diagnostic test. The results of the study showed that approximately one fourth of the 12th grade secondary school students had misconceptions about the concept of seed, and the rate of three of the misconceptions was above 10%. This study, which was conducted on 12th grade secondary school students, should also be conducted on different sample groups, and various studies should be conducted to eliminate the misconceptions determined in this study.

Authors: Demirci Ayşe , Arslan Coşkun
Published: June 2024

The mediating roles of positive rumination and negative rumination in the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and interpersonal problem solving were examined. Data were collected from the participants (n=983) using the Interpersonal Problem-Solving Scale, Positive and Negative Rumination Scale, and Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale. The indirect effect of intolerance of uncertainty on approaching problems in a negative way, constructive problem solving, insistent-persevering approach through the mediation of positive rumination was significant. The indirect effect of intolerance of uncertainty on lack of self-confidence and unwilling to take responsibility through the mediation of positive rumination was not significant. The indirect effect of intolerance of uncertainty on approaching problems in a negative way, lack of self-confidence, and unwilling to take responsibility through the mediation of negative rumination was significant. The indirect effect of intolerance of uncertainty on constructive problem solving and insistent persevering approach through the mediation of negative rumination was not significant. The findings of the study were discussed within the framework of the relevant literature and recommendations were made for future studies.
