Published: June 2023

Barely any research is presented concerning audit quality in Eritrea. Hence, as an icebreaker the aim of this paper is to investigate the fundamental audit quality factors and their impact on overall audit quality. Data on perception of audit quality was collected by a survey questionnaire including 41 audit variables from 119 audit clients. After categorizing the attributes into technical and functional sets, Factor Analysis was executed to identify the relevant factors. To further examine robustness and significance of the factors identified multiple regression was applied, after the data was tested for its assumptions. From the empirical results using Factor Analysis we documented four factors relating to technical audit quality and six factors associating with functional audit quality. We also justified the reliability and validity of the ten factors identified. Subsequently, the regression analysis depicted a positive and statistically significant relationship for all the ten technical and functional factors, except two. This supported our three hypotheses. With the consistent and higher rank of Eritrea on Corruption Perception Index, the originality and value of the findings can be potentially helpful to policy makers of control and audit, Eritrean audit firms and the body of knowledge in auditing concerning Eritrea.

Performance Evaluation of Co-operative Banks in India with Special References to Delhi NCR
Authors: Tripathi Sameer Kumar
Published: June 2023

In this paper we have considered some parameter tools, Data Analysis, Data Collection Method and introductory part regarding Assessing the Effectiveness of India's Cooperative Banks with Special References to Delhi NCR. In India, co-operative banks play a crucial role since they were set up to provide the country's rural population with banking services. The goal of its founding was to provide access to financial services and stimulate growth in rural areas.  They're crucial to India's progress economically and socially.  To better understand the challenges encountered by co-operative banks and provide solutions to help them thrive, this research examined their organizational framework, development, and performance. The information comes from several SCB, DCCB, and PACS yearly reports. Percentages, percentage changes, coefficients of variation, compound annual growth rates, and graphs have all been employed in the statistical analysis of the data. The research will be useful to policymakers as they seek to boost the efficiency of Co-operative banks. Some metrics, including as the number of branches, sum deposited, employee output, and location, proportion of late to demand, nonperforming assets, and profits, have been studied to assess the efficiency of Co-operative banks. The data reveals that PACS, in particular, are losing money owing to large overdoes, an increase in nonperforming assets (NPA), and low output per employee and location. Mutual savings banks confront a number of challenges, but they may be overcome with the right actions (such as a focus on recovery, training for employees to boost efficiency, and government backing).

Methodological foundations system intelligence

Published: June 2023

В настоящее время понятие искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) получает все более широкое распространение и развитие, но возникает сложность в точном определении данного понятия. Обобщенно искусственный интеллект подразделяют на две больших категории: «слабый ИИ», подразумевающий создание экспертных систем, систем поддержки принятия решений, баз знаний, а также систем распознавания образов. Другой – «сильный ИИ», направленный на создание систем, ориентированных не просто на обработку входной информации, но и обладающих частью когнитивных свойств, присущих человеческому мозгу, в результате чего система не только оперирует данными, но и частично понимает их смысл. Параллельно данным формулировкам возникает определение гибридных интеллектуальных систем, которые могут интерпретироваться с двух позиций: как системы, основанные на комбинации более двух методов искусственного интеллекта, и как системы, основанные на синтезе методов искусственного интеллекта и естественного интеллекта человека. В связи с этим в данной работе предлагается произвести классификацию подходов организации искусственного интеллекта, рассмотреть этапы развития парадигмы принятия решений и сформулировать определение системного интеллекта, позволяющего объединить разнообразные структуры организации вычислительных систем с использованием различных интеллектуальных агентов.

Currently, the concept of artificial intelligence is becoming more widespread and developed, but there is a difficulty in accurately defining this concept. In general, artificial intelligence is divided into two large categories: “weak AI”, which implies the creation of expert systems, decision support systems, knowledge bases, as well as image recognition systems, and “strong AI”, aimed at creating systems focused not just on processing input information, but also having part of the cognitive properties inherent in human the brain, as a result of which the system not only operates with data, but also partially understands their meaning (as an example, natural language processing systems can be cited, which can determine not only the meaning of the text but also form a review of its emotional coloring). In parallel with these formulations, there is a definition of hybrid intelligent systems that can be interpreted from two positions: as systems based on a combination of more than two artificial intelligence methods and as systems based on the synthesis of artificial intelligence and human natural intelligence methods. In this regard, in this paper it is proposed to classify the approaches of the organization of artificial intelligence, consider the stages of development of the decision-making paradigm and formulate a definition of system intelligence, which allows combining various structures of the organization of computing systems using various intelligent agents.

Это вызвало трудности при создании и внедрении новых технологических достижений, поскольку использование более современных инноваций может повлиять на решения потребителей и их оценку качества мяса и мясопродуктов. Новые технологии приготовления в мясной промышленности требуют микробиологического одобрения, прежде чем быть названными промышленно подходящими альтернативами и санкционировать инфраструктурные изменения. Порча продуктов питания патогенными микроорганизмами вызывает различные болезни пищевого происхождения, которые могут даже приводить к смерти, что влечет за собой экономические потери. В данной статье приведены литературные данные о воздействии микроорганизмов на свойства мяса, а также способы микробиологического контроля качества и биобезопасности мяса и мясных продуктов.

The consumer trend towards wholesome, minimally processed meat products has put enormous pressure on processors to certify the safety of meat and meat products without sacrificing product quality and meeting consumer demand. This has caused difficulties in the creation and implementation of new technological advances, since the use of more modern innovations can influence consumer decisions and their assessment of the quality of meat and meat products. New cooking technologies in the meat industry require microbiological approval before being named industrially viable alternatives and authorizing infrastructural changes. Food spoilage by pathogens causes a variety of foodborne illnesses that can even lead to death, resulting in economic losses. This article presents literature data on the impact of microorganisms on the quality of meat and meat products, methods of microbiological control.
A regularização dos territórios das comunidades quilombolas na área de influência da transposição do Rio São Francisco
Authors: Ferreira Charles Evandre Vieira , Binkowski Patrícia
Published: June 2023

No Brasil, a partir da promulgação da Constituição Federal de 1988, ocorreram mudanças significativas na legislação, principalmente para as comunidades remanescentes de quilombos, até então criminalizadas. Desse modo, na tentativa de reparar esse dano, destaca-se o Artigo 68 do Ato das Disposições Constitucionais Transitórias (ADCT), principal mecanismo legal para o reconhecimento da propriedade para os quilombolas. Porém, embora seja reconhecido como um avanço, a emissão definitiva do título de propriedade para as comunidades apresenta morosidade nas etapas de demarcação e de titulação. Atualmente, são inúmeras comunidades de remanescentes de quilombos reconhecidas, mas pouquíssimas definitivamente tituladas. É nesse cenário de indefinições que se encontram as comunidades quilombolas impactadas pelo Projeto de Integração do Rio São Francisco (PISF), sob responsabilidade Ministério de Desenvolvimento Regional. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a efetividade do Subprograma de Regularização das Terras Quilombola nas comunidades remanescentes de quilombolas elencadas pelo Plano Básico Ambiental (PBA 17) do PISF. A pesquisa apresenta abordagem qualitativa e estudo de tipo exploratório-descritivo. A 1ª etapa contemplou a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental a documentos e informações de websites, sites oficiais de órgãos públicos, principalmente do Ministério da Integração Nacional, hoje Ministério de Desenvolvimento Regional, da Fundação Cultural Palmares – FCP e do Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária – INCRA. A 2º etapa foi destinada à sistematização e análise de dados. Essa pesquisa se justifica por apresentar informações relevantes para as comunidades quilombolas impactadas pelas obras da transposição do rio São Francisco. Os resultados apontam para uma morosidade nos processos de demarcação e titulação das terras quilombolas no âmbito do PISF, causadas, principalmente, pela inércia do governo federal, além de assinalar que o PBA 17 foi parcialmente efetivado, pois apenas uma comunidade obteve sua titulação parcial.
No caminho da intersetorialidade: as bases para uma governança ambiental territorial na Macrometrópole Paulista
Authors: Empinotti Vanessa Lucena , Sulaiman Samia Nascimento , Sinisgalli Paulo Antônio De Almeida
Published: June 2023

A partir da análise crítica dos temas de segurança hídrica, risco e serviços ecossistêmicos, o artigo se propõe a apresentar os fundamentos para uma governança ambiental territorial por meio da intersetorialidade, do caráter relacional e da integração espacial, conceitos estes que embasam o planejamento territorial. Tendo como caso empírico a macrometrópole paulista, foram discutidas as lacunas existentes nas práticas de gestão e planejamento atual diante da proposta de governança apresentada neste artigo. Entre os desafios e as transformações para promover a governança ambiental territorial, é necessário o reconhecimento das interações relacionais entre ações, espaços e dimensões, seus impactos sobre o território, assim como considerar as características locais e a sua integração em uma escala regional. Chave para a transformação da prática de governança é o reconhecimento do território como espaço construído a partir de relações socioambientais e mobilizados por fluxos de poder. Por fim, a governança ambiental territorial é apresentada como um novo ponto de partida e reflexão, que integre as políticas, desconstrua a visão setorial e avance na produção de um território mais justo, seguro e saudável para todos, humanos e não humanos.

Para garantir os serviços ecossistêmicos essenciais à manutenção da sociedade, são necessários mecanismos efetivos de incentivo, atuando complementarmente aos instrumentos de comando e controle. O ICMS Ecológico paranaense, primeiro projeto do gênero adotado no Brasil, mostrou-se eficaz como incentivo à conservação ao longo de seus 30 anos de operação e apresenta potencial para fortalecer e ampliar a rede de proteção à biodiversidade no Paraná, através do apoio municipal aos proprietários de Reservas Particulares do Patrimônio Natural – RPPN. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a viabilidade técnica e legal dos Pagamentos por Serviços Ambientais – PSA municipais para proprietários de RPPN, tendo o ICMS Ecológico como principal fonte de recursos. O ICMS Ecológico paranaense emprega avaliações anuais qualitativas, de forma que os programas de apoio às RPPN tendem a ampliar os benefícios tributários dos Municípios. O desempenho médio das RPPN paranaenses nas avaliações anuais da qualidade foi de 27,5% em 2021, demonstrando um subaproveitamento ambiental e tributário dessas áreas. O PSA se constitui em uma das mais atrativas modalidades de incentivo às RPPN, pois gera benefícios financeiros diretos aos proprietários. Contudo, devido a normas específicas, atualmente predominam outras modalidades de apoio às RPPN, dentre as quais foram consideradas as mais efetivas os convênios intermunicipais para gestão das Unidades de Conservação. Entende-se que o modelo de PSA adotado pelo Estado do Paraná deva ser adaptado à esfera municipal, com uso dos Fundos Municipais de Meio Ambiente, sendo estes, por sua vez, abastecidos principalmente com recursos do ICMS Ecológico. Deve ser analisado o interesse de empresas privadas em aportar recursos nos programas municipais, diante de possíveis exigências legais e vantagens mercadológicas. Recomenda-se a definição de áreas prioritárias e de serviços ambientais específicos para a convergência desses programas com os objetivos das políticas municipais de conservação e desenvolvimento sustentável.
A agenda de concessão de serviços em áreas protegidas no estado de São Paulo
Authors: Martinho Victor Bassetti , Adams Cristina
Published: June 2023

Na última década, a discussão sobre o uso das parcerias público privadas no âmbito da gestão das áreas protegidas tem ganhado força no Brasil. Neste contexto, foi publicada no estado de São Paulo a Lei n° 16.260/16, autorizando a Fazenda do Estado a conceder a exploração de serviços e o uso de áreas em 25 unidades de conservação estaduais, que abrigam importantes remanescentes florestais e inúmeras comunidades tradicionais. Seu processo de aprovação foi conturbado desde sua primeira redação como o Projeto de Lei nº 249/13, tendo sido levantados inúmeros questionamentos por parte de vários setores da sociedade. Este estudo analisou o processo de formação da agenda de concessão de serviços em unidades de conservação no estado de São Paulo que culminou na publicação da Lei nº 16.260/16. O referencial teórico utilizado foi o Modelo de Fluxos Múltiplos de Kingdon (2003) e os dados foram obtidos através de pesquisa documental, levantamento bibliográfico e entrevistas semiestruturadas com os principais atores envolvidos no processo. Os resultados mostram que o processo de formação da agenda foi motivado por uma crise na gestão das áreas protegidas, mas a escolha da concessão de serviços como solução para esse problema teve influência dos atores e do ambiente político favorável.

Morfologi adalah salah satu cabang ilmu linguistik am dan merupakan antara disiplin ilmu utama yang terlibat dalam proses menganalisis bahasa. Proses tersebut menyebabkan semua bahasa di dunia; termasuklah bahasa Arab, tidak dapat lari daripada terkait secara terus dengan perbincangan ilmu morfologi. Walaupun kajian bidang morfologi bahasa Arab telah banyak dilakukan oleh penyelidik, namun ia lebih tertumpu kepada aplikasi ilmu morfologi bahasa Arab dan kurang menekankan perkara berkaitan latar belakang dan sejarah perkembangannya. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk memahami sejarah perkembangan ilmu morfologi dunia Arab di samping mengenal pasti batasan ilmu ini. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif dengan menggunakan kaedah kepustakaan bagi mengumpulkan data sebelum ia dianalisis menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan mengikut tema-tema tertentu. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa ilmu morfologi dan sintaksis bahasa Arab telah dibahas dan dikaji sebagai satu disiplin ilmu yang dikenali sebagai tatabahasa Arab. Namun, ilmu morfologi bahasa Arab kurang diberi penekanan oleh para ilmuwan dunia Arab pada peringkat awal perkembangan ilmu tatabahasa Arab. Kajian ini juga telah mengenal pasti pelbagai pendapat dalam kalangan ilmuwan Arab dalam menentukan ruang lingkup ilmu morfologi bahasa Arab. Pendapat-pendapat tersebut dikelaskan berdasarkan ciri-ciri persamaan dan perbezaan.
