Authors: Bekrani Maryam , Zohoori Salar , Davodiroknabadi Abolfazl
Published: October 2019

Cross-link method has been used to load nano CeO2, ZnO, and TiO2 on the surface of cotton fabric. Three types of nanocomposite fabrics are prepared (cotton/CeO2, cotton/CeO2/ZnO, and cotton/CeO2/TiO2) and their properties were investigated. Field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM) images of the samples showed good distribution of nanomaterial, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) samples proved the usage of amount of nanomaterials. On the other hand, elemental mapping was used to study the distribution of each nanomaterial separately. Antibacterial property of the samples showed excellent results against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Also ultraviolet (UV)-blocking of treated samples showed that all samples have very low transmission when exposed to UV irradiation.
Leaders in Rural Development Structures (Case Study on the Territory of the Lag Dolní Morava, Moravia)
Authors: Bábíková Anna
Published: October 2019

This paper is focused on local actors who are actively involved in the development of their villages. The area of rural development involves stakeholders of different levels and various positions. However, their roles differ, as do their positions in networks collaborating in the development of the rural community. In order to carry out this research, active citizens in member municipalities of the Dolní Morava Local Action Group (covering the territory of the South Moravian Region in the Czech Republic) were selected. Several techniques were used for their identification (analysis of local media, questionnaire survey, semi-structured interview). In this manner, it was possible to acquire a number of local actors from the public, private and non-profit sectors. Firstly, leaders in municipal development, whose position was examined by employing several approaches (positional, reputational and problem), were detected, and then social networks were analysed. The content transmitted within the networks, with an emphasis on social capital – a theme closely related to this issue – was also observed.
Sysmä Community Currency: An Analysis of its Success from the Perspectives of Purposes, Stakeholders and Promotion
Authors: Petz Marcus , Eskelinen Teppo
Published: October 2019

The article is a case study of a local currency, recently introduced in the rurally situated municipality of Sysmä, Finland. As a small community suffering a gradual population decline since the 1960s, Sysmä municipality has begun to innovate with several projects this millennium. Here, we analyse as a narrative and from the viewpoint of experienced tensions, the introductory phase of one of these projects, which strictly is a hyper-local currency acting as a system of account. It is noted that there are unclarities regarding the purpose of the scheme, and that different stakeholders and other observers do have varying ideas about this purpose. Political decisions over limiting rights of issuance of the local currency to locally registered businesses; and its exclusive use for local association subsidies have created some challenges to the acceptance of the currency. Further, the currency has limited uptake due to technical issues, injudicious use of the marketing mix and difficulties with innovating in a rural area. Noting these issues and the peculiarity of the scheme amidst other typical European local currency schemes, the article also points out benefits of the scheme and potential future developments.

Authors: Bambi Gianluca , Iacobelli Simona , Rossi Giuseppe , Pellegrini Paolo , Barbari Matteo
Published: October 2019

This research project aims at identifying a new network of routes and historical itineraries for the development and promotion of rural tourism in the Tuscany Region, by promoting forms of sustainable mobility in rural areas, particularly marginal ones. Religious tourism is defined as tourism, which includes visits to religious sites such as shrines, churches, abbeys, hermitages and sacred places; such places are an attraction for their religious essence as well as their artistic and cultural beauty. The ancient obsolete road system, which often survives as an archaeological relic as a precursor of the present road system, especially in rural areas, is more widespread than a layman would think. The paper refers the results of the study aimed at recovering the entire historical road that allowed pilgrims and travelers to reach La Verna (a place where St. Francis received the Stigmata) coming from Florence.
Circumventing Obligations Through Multinational Military Operations: Legal Consequences for Troop Contributing States
Authors: Heikkinen Tuomas , Faix Martin
Published: October 2019

If member States decide to circumvent their international legal obligations by acting through a military operation led by an international organisation, the institutional veil of which provides a shield against their responsibility for possible wrong-doings, an accountability gap can be identified. The contribution explores one of the possibilities for addressing this gap, the prohibition of circumvention, as enshrined in Art. 61 DARIO. The provision stipulates the possibility to hold the troop contributing States accountable. However, arguably the problems with international organization’s accountability gap cannot be solved in most cases by holding the States responsible over the actions of the MMO. Problematic appears such solution against the necessity to satisfy the thresholds of intent to circumvent and causing the organization to act in certain way, as required by the principle enshrined in the Article 61 DARIO.
Assessment of territorial benefits and efficiency from the construction of motorway and speed train networks: The Czech case
Authors: Maier Karel , Franke Daniel
Published: October 2019

The Czech Republic has been developing its motorway network since the 1970s, while efforts to upgrade its railway system from the 1990s have been limited to improvements of existing major lines. Only recently has the government decided to construct new “speed connection” rail lines. This article investigates the possible territorial benefits from the future development of planned motorways and of various speed connection railway options. The modelling is based on Huff’s gravity model that calculates the benefits from improved accessibility, to job and service centres for residents of each municipality. The modelling outcomes are used to compare planned motorway development and rail development options with respect to their efficiency, related to the investment and potential numbers of users.
Viticultural landscapes: Localised transformations over the past 150 years through an analysis of three case studies in Slovakia
Authors: Štefunková Dagmar , Hanušin Ján
Published: October 2019

The transformation of vineyard landscapes is evaluated in this article by assessing the changes in land cover and landscape diversity in selected study areas in two time periods – from 1867 to 1949, and from then to 2016. The study areas are characterised by a long history of viticulture and with important occurrences of old and new agrarian relief forms. Fine-scale land cover and landscape diversity analysis, as well as the study of historical and strategic documents, enabled an accurate interpretation of the viticultural landscape trajectories and their drivers. Landscape diversity was computed using the Shannon diversity index for each 625 square metre grid unit, and applying other metrics for the entire study area. Our research established that the study areas oscillated during this period between extensification and agricultural intensification, and the general trend confirmed the disappearance of traditional vineyards and a decline in modernised vineyard areas after socialism. Although extensification and intensification are seemingly contradictory processes, it is established that these both increase landscape diversity. In addition, landscape diversity changes in the second period are influenced more by changes in quantitative landscape pattern characteristics via edge density than qualitative patterns, e.g. patch richness, which reflect land use diversity.
Outdoor Advertising as an Element Strengthening the Recruitment Campaigns of Universities
Authors: Rachwał Helena
Published: October 2019

The article puts forward the thesis that outdoor advertising is an important element that enriches college recruitment campaigns if it meets certain conditions. The basic factors determining the effectiveness of outdoor is the conciseness and simplicity of the message, the creation taking into account the proper character of the advertisement and referring to the emotions of the recipient, the composition based on the appropriate arrangement of elements, intriguing advertising text forcing the recipient to think, integrate outdoor communication with the internet transmission and the correct location of the advertising medium. The subject of outdoor advertising and its impact on candidates for studies is omitted in the literature on marketing activities of tertiare education institutions. Therefore, it was attempted to fill the cognitive gap by referring to foreign scientific research and examples of outdoor applications by universities in the United States of America and Great Britain. Also described are outdoor campaigns of the SWPS University, which cooperates with the Cityboard Media Institute in the field of external advertising research. In order to analyze outdoor polish universities, the article uses part of the photographic material collected by the author, and reflects on the basis of their own observations and in-depth interviews with employees of Marketing Departments of selected universities.
Evaluation of the Marketing Communication of Scientific Units in the Context of Cooperation with the Sector of small and Medium Enterprises in Lodz Region
Authors: Milczarek Sławomir , Grębosz-Krawczyk Magdalena
Published: October 2019

An essential role in the constant overcoming of barriers as well as in the development of cooperation on the line “science-business” is played by proper marketing communication carried out by scientific units, being the party initiating the commercialization processes. The aim of the article is to evaluate selected aspects of marketing communication carried out by scientific units during cooperation with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) representing the smart specializations of the Lodz region. The article discusses the results of research carried out in the second and third quarter of 2018, based on the method of indirect communication with respondents, using a questionnaire among the representatives of companies belonging to the smart specializations of the Lodz region. The research results prove that scientific units do not use the available spectrum of marketing communication tools in cooperation with companies and do not use the language of market benefits in the description of knowledge being the subject of commercialization. The majority of respondents are convinced that the level of use of online communication tools by scientific units is low and medium, which automatically transfers into lowering its perception as innovative partners. On the other hand, in the opinion of the surveyed companies, the use of the possibilities created by the Internet Web 2.0 era by scientific units in marketing communication, can positively affect their image in the business environment.
Financial aspects of research and development policy in the European Union
Authors: Baruk Jerzy
Published: October 2019

In the article the author has attempted to realise the following goals:

1) identifying and critical assessment of the share of expenditure on research and development (R&D) in the gross domestic product (GDP) borne by business entities concentrated in four sectors (enterprises, government, higher education and private non-profit institutions) and jointly in all sectors. This meter is treated as an indirect measure of the level of managerial activity in shaping the research and development policy,

2) checking the thesis that R&D expenditure are changeable and differ in the particular Member States and does not give a clear positive picture of the systematic and dynamic growth of research and development activity in these countries.

The article was developed using the following research methods: critical-cognitive analysis of the literature; statistical and comparative analysis of the “Eurostat” empirical material; the projection.

The statistical and comparative analysis of the secondary empirical material “Eurostat” illustrating the share of expenditure on research and development in the gross domestic product was used to check the thesis. The results of the analysis confirm the rightness of the research thesis.
Reasons of Polish young potential employees’ interest In a university as the employer vr perceiving its employees
Authors: Baruk Agnieszka Izabela
Published: October 2019

The article has a theoretical-empirical character. Its main goal was to identify reasons of young potential employees’ interest in working at a university. To prepare the theoretical part, the method of cognitive-critical analysis of world literature on marketing, management and HRM was applied. The results of this analysis show an existing cognitive gap and a research gap in the scope of considerations about reasons of interest of the mentioned group of employees in a university as the employer. Striving for reducing both gaps some empirical researches were conducted using the questionnaire method to gather the primary data which were analyzed statistically using the method of exploratory factor analysis, Kruskal-Wallis test, etc. The obtained results made it possible to check three research hypotheses. The possibility to perform a satisfying job was not the key reason for the respondents’ interest in working at a university. The internal structure of reasons for the respondents’ interest in a university as the employer was different for the following two groups: 1/people who think that university’s employees are perceived in Poland better than those who work in other organizations; 2/people who think that university’s employees are perceived in Poland as well as those who work in other organizations. The way of perceiving employees of an university was a feature statistically significantly differentiating the reasons of the respondents’ interest in starting work at the university only in the case of high social prestige and high wages.
Innovative Behavior of the Poznań Agglomeration Inhabitants in the Transport Services Market
Authors: Sojkin Bogdan , Michalak Szymon
Published: October 2019

The development of information and communication technologies, including in particular the modern development of mobile technologies, has an undeniable impact on people’s lives and, consequently, on consumers’ market behaviour. The growing popularity and capabilities of mobile devices, as well as the increasing availability of mobile Internet access, mean that in many markets companies are redefining their business models, in which the activities conducted via the Internet play an increasingly important role. This is particularly visible on the market of individual and public transport services, where thanks to mobile devices, as well as in consistency with trends in consumer market behaviours and the development of cities in accordance with the smart city concept, for several years now we can observe the emergence of innovative alternatives to traditional forms of transport. The pace of appearance of product innovations on the market depends, of course, to a large extent on the level of acceptance of innovation by consumers. The aim of the article is to determine the degree of innovativeness of the inhabitants of the Poznań agglomeration in the use of transport solutions available in Poznań. The research part presents the results of own research conducted in 2019 on a sample of 795 respondents. They showed that the inhabitants of the Poznań agglomeration are not afraid to use product innovations on the market of transport services and use them to a greater extent than in the case of the general population.
About not Correcting for Systematic Effects
Authors: Klauenberg Katy , Wübbeler Gerd , Elster Clemens
Published: October 2019

In practice, measurement results are sometimes described by an estimate, which is not the best one as defined in the GUM. Such alternative estimates arise when the result of a measurement is not corrected for all systematic effects. No recommendation exists in the GUM for associating an uncertainty with an uncorrected estimate.

A common choice in guidelines and in the literature is the uncertainty

u

(

y
′

)

=

u

2

(
y
)

+

(

y
-

y
′

)

2

u\left( {y'} \right) = \sqrt {{u^2}\left( y \right) + {{\left( {y - y'} \right)}^2}}

for an alternative estimate y′. It arises from the expected quadratic loss, on which, also in the GUM, the standard uncertainty u(y), and the best estimate y are based. However, such an uncertainty is not a standard uncertainty and we establish, it may not be used for uncertainty propagation.

One consequence is, for example, that pairs (y′, u(y′)) are not to be used in calibration certificates.
Effects of Quartz Glass Insulation on Platinum Gold Thermocouples
Authors: Pavlasek Peter , Rybař Jan , Ďuriš Stanislav , Palenčar Jakub
Published: October 2019

Au/Pt thermocouples are considered as an alternative to High Temperature Platinum Resistance Thermometers and are one of the prime candidates to replace them as the interpolating instrument of the International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) in the temperature range between about 660 °C and 962 °C. This work presents the results of investigation of two Au/Pt thermocouples that used exclusively quartz glass (SiO2) as insulation material. Measurements in fixed points of Zn, Al, and Ag were realized on these thermocouples as well with interchanged inner insulation made of high purity aluminium oxide (Al2O3). The conducted experiments tested the performance of Au/Pt thermocouples with the use of different insulation materials. The measured electromotive forces were found to be sensitive to the replacement of the quartz glass by aluminium oxide as an insulation material of the Au/Pt thermocouples. This change of insulation has resulted in a temperature increase up to about 0.5 K measured at the freezing point of silver. The decreasing insulation resistance of quartz glass at higher temperatures is believed to be the source of thermoelectric instability.
Identification of Microrecording Artifacts with Wavelet Analysis and Convolutional Neural Network: An Image Recognition Approach
Authors: Klempíř Ondřej , Krupička Radim , Bakštein Eduard , Jech Robert
Published: October 2019

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an internationally accepted form of treatment option for selected patients with Parkinson’s disease and dystonia. Intraoperative extracellular microelectrode recordings (MER) are considered as the standard electrophysiological method for the precise positioning of the DBS electrode into the target brain structure. Pre-processing of MERs is a key phase in clinical analysis, with intraoperative microelectrode recordings being prone to several artifact groups (up to 25 %). The aim of this methodological article is to provide a convolutional neural network (CNN) processing pipeline for the detection of artifacts in an MER. We applied continuous wavelet transform (CWT) to generate an over-complete time–frequency representation. We demonstrated that when attempting to find artifacts in an MER, the new CNN + CWT provides a high level of accuracy (ACC = 88.1 %), identifies individual classes of artifacts (ACC = 75.3 %) and also offers artifact time onset detail, which can lead to a reduction in false positives/negatives. In summary, the presented methodology is capable of identifying and removing various artifacts in a comprehensive database of MER and represents a substantial improvement over the existing methodology. We believe that this approach will assist in the proposal of interesting clinical hypotheses and will have neurologically relevant effects.

Oct4 mediates Müller glia reprogramming and cell cycle exit during retina regeneration in zebrafish
Authors: Sharma Poonam , Gupta Shivangi , Chaudhary Mansi , Mitra Soumitra , Chawla Bindia , Khursheed Mohammad Anwar , Ramachandran Rajesh
Published: October 2019

Octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4, also known as Pou5F3) is an essential pluripotency-inducing factor, governing a plethora of biological functions during cellular reprogramming. Retina regeneration in zebrafish involves reprogramming of Müller glia (MG) into a proliferating population of progenitors (MGPCs) with stem cell–like characteristics, along with up-regulation of pluripotency-inducing factors. However, the significance of Oct4 during retina regeneration remains elusive. In this study, we show an early panretinal induction of Oct4, which is essential for MG reprogramming through the regulation of several regeneration-associated factors such as Ascl1a, Lin28a, Sox2, Zeb, E-cadherin, and various miRNAs, namely, let-7a, miR-200a/miR-200b, and miR-143/miR-145. We also show the crucial roles played by Oct4 during cell cycle exit of MGPCs in collaboration with members of nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase complex such as Hdac1. Notably, Oct4 regulates Tgf-β signaling negatively during MG reprogramming, and positively to cause cycle exit of MGPCs. Our study reveals unique mechanistic involvement of Oct4, during MG reprogramming and cell cycle exit in zebrafish, which may also account for the inefficient retina regeneration in mammals.

Análise das oportunidades e desafios profissionais dos surdos em seu ambiente de trabalho: um estudo nos municípios de Santa Rosa e Horizontina/RS
Authors: Dias Fernanda Elisa , Kuhn Nuvea , Lamb Cátia Regina Züge
Published: October 2019

Ao longo da história, acompanha-se a luta contínua por parte dos surdos ao tentarem adentrar no mundo do trabalho e ascenderem profissionalmente. Uma perspectiva que parece auxiliar nesta questão, é a Lei N° 8.213/1991, que traz a obrigatoriedade em empresas com mais de cem colaboradores em contratarem Pessoas Portadoras de Deficiências (PCD´s) em seu quadro colaborativo. Com o intuito de descobrir qual a perspectiva de surdos quanto às possibilidades de crescimento, oportunidades e desafios profissionais em seu emprego atual, nas cidades de Santa Rosa e Horizontina/RS?, a presente pesquisa, teve como objetivo geral analisar a perspectiva dos surdos em relação às oportunidades, possibilidades de  crescimento, ascensão, e aos desafios vivenciados no contexto organizacional em que trabalham atualmente. Como procedimento metodológico, utilizou-se de uma pesquisa aplicada, qualitativa e descritiva, por meio de uma amostragem não probabilística por acessibilidade, utilizando-se de um questionário estruturado junto a 30 participantes surdos. A pesquisa contou com a participação de um público predominante masculino, cerca de 80% dos participantes; em que a maioria possui ensino médio completo; recebem até 2 salários mínimos mensais; atualmente trabalhando em cargos operacionais, especificamente no segmento metal-mecânico. De uma forma geral, consideram que possuem as mesmas condições de promoções e crescimento oportunizados aos demais colaboradores, no entanto acreditam que suas empresas ainda precisam se adaptar à sua condição de PCD. Throughout history, there has been the continuing struggle of the deaf as they try to enter the world of work and ascend professionally. One perspective that seems to help in this issue is Law N° 8.213/1991, which makes it mandatory for companies with more than one hundred employees to hire People with Disabilities (PCD's) in their collaborative framework. In order to find out what is the perspective of deaf people regarding the possibilities of growth, opportunities and professional challenges in their current job in the cities of Santa Rosa and Horizontina/RS? relation to the opportunities, possibilities of growth, ascent, and the challenges experienced in the organizational context in which they currently work. As a methodological procedure, it was used an applied qualitative and descriptive research, through a non-probabilistic accessibility sampling, using a structured questionnaire with 30 deaf participants. The survey was attended by a predominantly male audience, about 80% of participants; where most have completed high school; receive up to 2 monthly minimum wages; currently working in operational positions, specifically in the metal-mechanic segment. In general, they consider that they have the same promotion and growth conditions as other employees, but they believe that their companies still need to adapt to their PCD condition.

Com esse artigo – aliando os métodos qualitativo e quantitativo de pesquisa – analisamos a relação comercial bilateral sino-angolana – China-Angola – hodierna com enfoque na questão do petróleo. Como parte de um panorama econômico globalizado, buscamos identificar as assimetrias nessa relação à luz do esquema “Prebichiano” de Centro-Periferia” – elaborado pelo economista Raúl Prebisch no século passado –. A China, um país emergente – em desenvolvimento – (ou já de Centro para alguns pensadores), tem de fato uma economia pujante com uma capilaridade ainda complexa de dimensionar. Enquanto Angola é um país que ainda pode ser conceituado – sob vários aspectos – “subdesenvolvido” (ou seja, um país periférico). Esse artigo pode também ser concebido como mais um passo para entender o que a China almeja econômica, é claro, – mas também politicamente do restante do Continente Africano, do mundo e do Brasil –. Ensejando possibilidades de pesquisar especificamente as relações da China com outros países africanos lusófonos, tais como: Moçambique (fornecedor de madeira para os chineses) e Cabo Verde (fornecedor de pescados para os chineses). Por fim, procuramos extrair das relações comerciais bilaterais sino-angolanas, breves lições para o comércio bilateral sino-brasileiro – China-Brasil – já que a China é hoje o nosso maior parceiro econômico. With this article - combining the qualitative and quantitative research methods - we analyze the Sino-Angolan - China-Angola - bilateral trade relationship today focusing on the oil issue. As part of a globalized economic landscape, we seek to identify asymmetries in this relationship in light of the “Prebichian” Center-Periphery scheme” - elaborated by economist Raúl Prebisch in the last century -. China, an emerging developing country (or already a Center for some thinkers), has indeed a thriving economy with a capillarity that is still complex to scale. While Angola is a country that can still be conceptualized - in many ways - “underdeveloped” (ie a peripheral country). This article can also be conceived as a further step in understanding what China wants economically, of course - but also politically from the rest of the African continent, the world and Brazil -. As a possibility to investigate specifically China's relations with other Lusophone African countries, such as: Mozambique (Chinese wood supplier) and Cape Verde (Chinese fish supplier). Finally, we seek to draw from Sino-Angolan bilateral trade relations, brief lessons for Sino-Brazilian bilateral trade - China-Brazil - as China is today our largest economic partner.

Published: October 2019

A gestão estratégica de recursos humanos no setor público constitui-se como desafio contemporâneo para a sustentabilidade dos programas de governo. Estratégias relacionadas à reforma da gestão de pessoal são recomendadas por vários praticantes, pesquisadores e organizações internacionais especializadas, com o propósito de que os governos as adotem para melhor gerir seus funcionários como meio de garantir resultados positivos. As recomendações propõem o uso de abordagens estratégicas na gestão de recursos humanos fundamentadas na modernização das respetivas políticas, inspiradas nas concepções da New Public Management que advogam uma administração mais eficiente baseada nas práticas aplicadas pelas empresas privadas. Porém, pairam questões sobre a aplicabilidade dessas recomendações, bem como sobre de que modo a gestão estratégica de pessoas, mecanismo pensado fundamentalmente para as empresas privadas, irá se efetivar na área pública. O ensaio foi baseado em uma revisão bibliográfica e documental e enfatiza o contexto do serviço público em Moçambique. The strategic management of human resources in the public sector constitutes a contemporary challenge for the sustainability of government programs. Strategies related to personnel management reform are recommended by a number of practitioners, researchers, and specialized international organizations, with the aim of governments adopt them to better manage their employees as a means of ensuring positive results. The recommendations propose the use of strategic approaches in human resources management based on the modernization of their policies, inspired by the New Public Management concepts that advocate a more efficient administration based on the practices applied by private companies. However, questions remain about the applicability of these recommendations, as well as how the strategic management of people, a mechanism designed primarily for private companies, will be implemented in the public area. The essay was based on a literature and documentary review and emphasizes the public service context in Mozambique.

A qualidade de vida dentro do ambiente organizacional não tem refletido de forma positiva para as pessoas com deficiência, pois além de suas características comuns, portam outras que as limitam a executar tarefas que são simples para as demais. Nesse sentido, o estudo tem como objetivo geral analisar a qualidade de vida no trabalho das pessoas com deficiência em instituição de ensino privado. A pesquisa tem caráter qualitativo, descritiva e comparativa. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada, participaram da pesquisa três instituições públicas de ensino e uma instituição privada de ensino. Os principais achados foram que nas instituições públicas de ensino não haviam pessoas com deficiência, não podendo assim analisar a qualidade de vida dos mesmos nessas instituições. Já na instituição privadas existem pessoas com deficiência, ter esse tipo de colaborador é de iniciativa da organização e não somente pelo fato de existirem leis que as obrigam ter uma percentagem desse tipo de colaborador. Esse tipo de colaborador é tratado como os demais colaboradores, desde a etapa de recrutamento e seleção até a avaliação de desempenho. Porém, os mesmos sofrem preconceitos de alunos e colaboradores da própria instituições de ensino. Para que isso diminuía, são propostas ações internas de conscientização.  The quality of life within the organizational environment has not reflected positively on people with disabilities, because in addition to their common characteristics, they carry others that limit them to perform tasks that are simple for others. In this sense, the study aims to analyze the quality of life at work of people with disabilities in private school. The research has qualitative, descriptive and comparative character. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Three public educational institutions and one private educational institution participated in the research. The main findings were that in public educational institutions there were no people with disabilities, so they could not analyze their quality of life in these institutions. In the private institution there are people with disabilities, having this type of employee is the initiative of the organization and not only because there are laws that require them to have a percentage of this type of employee. This type of employee is treated like other employees, from the recruitment and selection stage to the performance evaluation. However, they suffer prejudice from students and employees of the educational institutions themselves. To reduce this, internal awareness actions are proposed.
