Authors: Mansur Beleski Igor , Rodrigues Lima Junior Francisco
Published: March 2023

Uma das maneiras de lidar com o processo de seleção de fornecedores é o uso de métodos de tomada de decisão multicritério. Entre estes, o Hesitant Fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) se destaca por ser um método emergente capaz de apoiar processos decisórios em situações de incerteza e hesitação. Este estudo apresenta uma comparação entre duas versões desse método aplicados na seleção de fornecedores e subsequente análise de suas características, identificando vantagens de uso, diferenças e limitações. A aplicação considerou cinco alternativas, quatro critérios e dois decisores. Os resultados mostram similaridades entre os rankings de fornecedores produzidos por elas e indicam que são capazes de apoiar problemas de decisão em grupo, embora não permitam atribuir pesos diferentes aos decisores. Os resultados deste estudo podem ser usados para auxiliar pesquisadores e gestores na escolha de um método de decisão adequado às suas necessidades.

Published: March 2023

The mechanical properties of industrially produced perforated steel plates are obtained by hardening and low-temperature tempering to produce a martensitic microstructure. Another morphological type of steel microstructure that allows for ultra-high strength and, at the same time, a level of ductility that qualifies it for use in armour is nanobainite. Research into nanobainitic steels has led to the development of plates manufacturing technology at a level that can be implemented in industrial production, and has confirmed the high potential of this material for use as additional armour in the form of perforated plates. This paper reports the results of research aimed at developing a technology for the production of perforated armour plates made of nanobainitic steel, with properties competitive with currently available perforated steel plates on the world market with the highest protective effectiveness under conditions of multi-hit firing tests with small and medium calibre ammunition. The tests were performed on 300 260 mm plates, with the nominal thicknesses of 8 mm, 6 mm and 4 mm, produced from industrially melted nanobainitic steel NANOS-BA. The protective effectiveness of nanobainitic perforated plates in a system with a solid armour steel backing plate of 500 HBW hardness was tested by multi-hit firing, according to the procedures set out in the STANAG 4569 and AEP-55 vol. 1 specifications (adapted to the format of tested plates), against selected projectile types assigned to protection levels 2 and 3. Based on the analysis of the results of the firing tests and the macroscopic and microscopic examinations of the perforated plates before and after firing, the optimum perforation method was selected and the most favourable geometrical and dimensional arrangements of the perforations were determined for different plate thicknesses.

Las cooperativas energéticas como alternativa al sector eléctrico español: una oportunidad de cambio
Authors: Falcón-Pérez Carmen Esther
Published: March 2023

La normativa europea y española marcan hitos ambiciosos para combatir el cambio climático, destacando como objetivo clave, para reducir la emisión de gases efecto invernadero y la excesiva dependencia energética, fomentar el uso de energía procedente de fuentes renovables. España presenta una alta dependencia energética exterior por lo que es imprescindible establecer una hoja de ruta que garantice la reconversión energética en nuestro país. Además, la generación y suministro de energía eléctrica agrupa a un número reducido de empresas que prácticamente controlan el mercado, actuando durante décadas en condiciones de oligopolio.

En este contexto, se deben presentar opciones para dar respuesta a la situación actual, promoviendo el consumo de energías limpias a la ciudadanía pues incide positivamente en la calidad vida y en el bienestar de la sociedad. En este trabajo, bajo este escenario, proponemos a las cooperativas de energías renovables, tradicionalmente utilizadas en el mapa europeo pero emergentes en nuestro país, para que participen activamente en el sector eléctrico, ofreciendo una oportunidad de cambio a los consumidores de energía, con los valores propios de estas organizaciones en las que prima la cohesión social, promueve la participación democrática y transparente, fomenta el uso de energías limpias con un consumo responsable en aras a paliar un problema de índole social, económico y medioambiental.

Published: March 2023

There were several ways that could be used to assess the company's financial kinerjance, one of them is by using the Return On Equity. Return On Equity measured the company's ability to earn profits from its capital. This ratio also had weaknesses, among others, this ratio does not use the cost of capital. To overcome this, there was another alternative in assessing the company's kinerjance, namely using Economic Value Added (EVA). This study aimed to determine whether there is a difference between Return on Equity and Economic Value Added in assessing the financial kinerjance of Food and beverage companies on the Indonesia stock exchange in the period 2015 – 2019.The research sample consisted of 16 companies with 80 research data. Sampling used purposive sampling. Analysis of the data in this study using the SPSS Statistics 26 software program with the analysis technique of the Paired Sample T Test. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant difference between Return On Equity and Economic Value Added in assessing the financial kinerjance of Food and beverage companies due to the Economic Value Added including the calculation of the cost of capital

Published: March 2023

In order to forecast the need for bike-sharing services, this paper suggests a rule-based regression model. Commuters and tourists alike are taking advantage of public bike sharing programs because of the convenience and low carbon footprint they provide. Used information from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. Repeated cross-validation was used to fine-tune the hyper-parameters of five statistical models. Conditional Inference Tree, K-Nearest Neighbor Analysis, Regularized Random Forest, Classification and Regression Trees, and CUBIST. The predictive accuracy of the regression models was measured by calculating the Root Mean Squared Error, R-Squared, Mean Absolute Error, and Coefficient. For both the Seoul Bike and Capital Bikeshare programs, the rule-based model CUBIST was able to account for 95 and 89% of the Variance (R2), respectively. All models built from the two datasets using WEKA v3.8.6, and are used a variable significance analysis to establish which variables were most crucial. The most important factors in determining the hourly demand for bike rentals are the weather and the time of day.

The Levant has gained a vital position in light of the strategy of the expansionist-oriented countries due to its strategic location on the Mediterranean Sea, representing a link between Asia, Europe and Africa continents. Therefore, the Ottoman Empire has highly considered that with its strategy, taking into account its key terrestrial access to the Islamic holy sites over the peninsula to the North Africa, in addition to being a vital trading in this time era. The significance of this study lies in addressing the factors influencing the construction development, considering it one of the most important features of the Ottoman rule over the Levant during this period of time. The problem of the study is represented by the limitation of sources and references of the historical writing dealt with construction, in all kinds and the influencing factors. So, the process of obtaining information was limited to the writings of geographers or their sightings and backpackers, as these writings do not address the comprehensiveness of constitution details. Therefore, this study proceeded to list the details description of the most vital urban landmarks and the factors influencing their development during the period from 1850-1950. Among these factors are political, economic and social factors. The process of constructing governmental, religious, scientific and social institutions represented the most important areas of concern for the sultans of Bani Othman and their rulers. They exaggerated their concem, so they worked to ensure its permanence through endowing endowments for it, providing sources of local and central financing. Thus, the study concluded that the factor of political, economic, investment and social stability and the growth of commercial and industrial movement could bring capital that represented a major tributary in process of construction prosperity. All this had a clear impact on construction boom over the Levant during the rule of the Ottoman Empire.

Authors: Eguiarte B. Enrique A. ,   Order of Augustinian Recollects
Published: March 2023

The article addresses the theme of priesthood as communio and confessio, showing first of all how the priest must make his life a prolonged Eucharist by becoming not only the minister of the Eucharist, but also how his life must be transformed into bread broken and shared for his brothers and sisters. On the other hand, the union of the priest with the cross of Christ is highlighted, and the Augustinian image of the olive oil mill and the commitment to bear good fruit for God is developed. Following the text of Conf. 10:39, the importance of the priest living in union with Christ is emphasized. Communion implies a participation in the cross of Christ and the four dimensions of the cross of Christ according to St. Augustine and its implications in the priestly life are pointed out.

Authors: Véron Benoît , Rougier Etienne , Taylor Anthony , Goux Didier
Published: March 2023

The justification of the 4 genera that currently compose the class Pavlovophyceae is based on a low number of species and a relative paucity of available, traceable and referenced cultures. Previous integrative phylogeny work revealed strains that can refine and strengthen our knowledge of the genera in the class. The application of multiple light and electron microscopy techniques allowed us to prioritize the cytomorphological characters (pyrenoid, thylakoid, stigma, knob-scales, life stage / life cycle) used for the taxonomy of these algae and to describe two new species: Exanthemachrysis fresneliae Véron sp. nov. and Rebecca billardiae Véron sp. nov. Consequently, revisions of the two genera Exanthemachrysis Lepailleur emend. Véron and Rebecca Green emend. Véron were made. In addition, the genus Pavlova Butcher emend Véron is revised in the light of these characters. Particular emphasis is placed on the life stages and habitat of the species.

EWS is based on an assessment of changes in the patient's condition through systematic observation of all the patient's physiological changes so as to avoid unexpected events in the emergency room or the Intensive Care Unit room. Patient deterioration can occur when the evaluation and implementation of EWS are not in accordance with the algorithm. This study aims to determine the results of EWS implementation as mortality detection. This type of research is quantitative with a quasy experimental method with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The sample used in this study were inpatients in the adult room with a total of 275 people taken by accidental sampling technique. Respondents who had been given the intervention continued with measuring early death using the Gross Death Rate (GDR). Based on the results of research and analysis of statistical tests that have been carried out on the application of EWS, the results obtained are a p-value of 0.028 (p <0.05) so that it can be concluded that the application of EWS has an effect on patient GDR. As early death detection, the intervention group is lower than the control group. These results significantly reduced the GDR and ADR in the intervention group compared to the control group.
The Public Defender Movement in the Age of Mass Incarceration: Georgia’s Experience
Authors: Tsai Robert L.
Published: March 2023

Focusing on the efforts of the Southern Center for Human Rights, this article offers a grassroots history of the creation of the first statewide public defender in the State of Georgia in 2003. Whereas federal court litigation to improve indigent defense failed to achieve lasting reform, a shift in tactics toward “rebellious localism,” characterized by state court lawsuits against county and city officials, succeeded in prodding lawmakers to create a new framework for delivering legal services to indigent defendants. This model of legal change was effective in documenting structural flaws and creating momentum for reform. Yet other conditions—such as front-end criminal law policies and funding decisions—continued to shape the actual quality of representation received by poor people.
Analysis of the Modern Era's Financial and Islamic Economic Importance
Authors: Mujiatun Siti
Published: March 2023

Islamic finance is a system that originates from the Al-Quran and Sunnah, as well as from the interpretations of the scholars of these sources of revelation. In its various forms, the structure of Islamic finance has been a civilization that has remained unchanged for fourteen centuries. The public seems to be increasingly aware that the concept of Islamic economics has become more open, this is evidenced by the presence of non-Muslim customers who choose Islamic banks, even some conventional financial institution entrepreneurs are starting to look at Islamic banking and opening sharia businesses. The interaction of non-Muslims towards the sharia economy has more or less changed the mindset and unfounded suspicions towards Muslims as well as eroded the attitude of Islamophobia. With the emergence of a growing sharia economy, the paradigm of thinking of non-Muslims towards Islam is increasingly changing, becoming more open, and leading positively. In order to have a more significant impact on the economy, the Islamic financial system needs to have a more significant portion of total financial assets, namely at least 20 percent. Therefore, the government, central bank and economic agencies concerned with the Islamic financial system need to work harder

Perceived Weirdness: A Multitrait-Multisource Study of Self and Other Normality Evaluations
Authors: Kim Jun-Yeob , Newman Daniel A. , Harms P. D. , Wood Dustin
Published: March 2023

Research in personality and organizational psychology has begun to investigate a novel evaluative trait known as perceived normality, defined as an overall perception that one is normal (vs. strange or weird). The current work evaluates a brief measure of this trait (i.e., a “weirdness scale”), extending past work by assessing both self-reports and peer reports of these normality evaluations. Results confirm the measurement equivalence of self- and peer-reports of perceived weirdness, and discriminant validity of self- and peer-reports of perceived weirdness from Big Five traits. A multitrait-multisource analysis further reveals that trait loadings are larger than self-report and peer-report method loadings for the measure of perceived weirdness.

Cette étude vise à identifier des traces de validité d’une échelle de mesure des connaissances métacognitives de la lecture numérique inédite, développée pour le PISA 2018 et, plus particulièrement, à établir si cette échelle mesure des connaissances relevant de la lecture plutôt que de la littératie numérique. Les données des 37 pays de l’OCDE ont été utilisées. Les résultats montrent que l’échelle de connaissances métacognitives présente une forte corrélation avec les performances en lecture et avec deux échelles ayant subi un processus de validation de la mesure de la métacognition en lecture. Cette échelle est aussi significativement liée à l’intérêt des élèves, à leur concept de soi et à leur sentiment d’efficacité en lecture, mais n’est pas liée avec leur utilisation des TIC, leur intérêt ou leur sentiment d’efficacité perçue dans ce domaine. Les résultats appuient le fait que l’échelle mesure des connaissances relevant de la lecture plutôt que de la littératie numérique et mettent en évidence une corrélation robuste entre les connaissances métacognitives et les performances en lecture.

En cette ère d’inclusion, force est d’admettre que les directions d’établissement scolaire, qui baignent ou non dans un contexte de diversité ethnoculturelle, linguistique et religieuse, ont intérêt à développer leur compétence interculturelle. Or, comment conscientiser les directions et savoir si elles ont développé une telle compétence ? Compte tenu d’un tel enjeu, l’objectif de cet article est de présenter le processus d’élaboration d’un questionnaire d’autoévaluation de la compétence interculturelle des directions d’établissement scolaire de langue française au Québec et au Nouveau-Brunswick, qui comprend 1) la recension de questionnaires portant sur cette compétence, 2) la construction d’une banque d’items, 3) le recueil de preuves basées sur le contenu, 4) l’élaboration de la version préliminaire du questionnaire d’autoévaluation, 5) le prétest et 6) l’accumulation de preuves basées sur la structure interne. Finalement, un questionnaire d’autoévaluation préliminaire de 43 items est proposé. Les limites de la recherche et les retombées de ce questionnaire d’autoévaluation préliminaire sont mentionnées en conclusion.
Processus d’élaboration et de validation de l’échelle de la motivation en éducation physique et à la santé (ÉMÉPS) auprès d’étudiants du postsecondaire
Authors: Cabot Isabelle , Bradette Annie
Published: March 2023

La littérature compte de nombreux instruments permettant de mesurer la motivation à l’égard des activités physiques et des sports pratiqués dans le cadre des cours d’éducation physique et à la santé (ÉPS). Toutefois, rares sont ceux qui visent la motivation à l’égard des cours d’ÉPS. Pour lutter contre les effets indésirables de l’inactivité physique, des enseignants d’ÉPS mettent sur pied diverses stratégies d’enseignement et d’évaluation. Dans ce contexte, un instrument mesurant la motivation en ÉPS pourrait contribuer à évaluer l’efficacité des stratégies mises en place. La présente étude rapporte le processus d’élaboration et de validation d’un tel instrument auprès d’étudiants francophones du postsecondaire, incluant une version préintervention et une version postintervention. Les résultats indiquent de bonnes qualités psychométriques pour l’instrument élaboré. Ils sont analysés en fonction des prospectives de l’instrument et des besoins qui ont justifié sa conduite.

The characterization of cortical myelination is essential for the study of structure-function relationships in the human brain. However, knowledge about cortical myelination is largely based on post-mortem histology, which generally renders direct comparison to function impossible. The repeating pattern of pale-thin-pale-thick stripes of cytochrome oxidase (CO) activity in the primate secondary visual cortex (V2) is a prominent columnar system, in which histology also indicates different myelination of thin/thick versus pale stripes. We used quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) in conjunction with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) at ultra-high field strength (7 T) to localize and study myelination of stripes in four human participants at sub-millimeter resolution in vivo. Thin and thick stripes were functionally localized by exploiting their sensitivity to color and binocular disparity, respectively. Resulting functional activation maps showed robust stripe patterns in V2 which enabled further comparison of quantitative relaxation parameters between stripe types. Thereby, we found lower longitudinal relaxation rates (R1) of thin and thick stripes compared to surrounding gray matter in the order of 1–2%, indicating higher myelination of pale stripes. No consistent differences were found for effective transverse relaxation rates (R2*). The study demonstrates the feasibility to investigate structure-function relationships in living humans within one cortical area at the level of columnar systems using qMRI.
A process model account of the role of dopamine in intertemporal choice
Authors: Soutschek Alexander , Tobler Philippe N
Published: March 2023

Theoretical accounts disagree on the role of dopamine in intertemporal choice and assume that dopamine either promotes delay of gratification by increasing the preference for larger rewards or that dopamine reduces patience by enhancing the sensitivity to waiting costs. Here, we reconcile these conflicting accounts by providing empirical support for a novel process model according to which dopamine contributes to two dissociable components of the decision process, evidence accumulation and starting bias. We re-analyzed a previously published data set where intertemporal decisions were made either under the D2 antagonist amisulpride or under placebo by fitting a hierarchical drift diffusion model that distinguishes between dopaminergic effects on the speed of evidence accumulation and the starting point of the accumulation process. Blocking dopaminergic neurotransmission not only strengthened the sensitivity to whether a reward is perceived as worth the delay costs during evidence accumulation (drift rate) but also attenuated the impact of waiting costs on the starting point of the evidence accumulation process (bias). In contrast, re-analyzing data from a D1 agonist study provided no evidence for a causal involvement of D1R activation in intertemporal choices. Taken together, our findings support a novel, process-based account of the role of dopamine for cost-benefit decision making, highlight the potential benefits of process-informed analyses, and advance our understanding of dopaminergic contributions to decision making.
Kindlin-1 regulates IL-6 secretion and modulates the immune environment in breast cancer models

The adhesion protein Kindlin-1 is over-expressed in breast cancer where it is associated with metastasis-free survival; however, the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Here, we report that Kindlin-1 promotes anti-tumor immune evasion in mouse models of breast cancer. Deletion of Kindlin-1 in Met-1 mammary tumor cells led to tumor regression following injection into immunocompetent hosts. This was associated with a reduction in tumor infiltrating Tregs. Similar changes in T cell populations were seen following depletion of Kindlin-1 in the polyomavirus middle T antigen (PyV MT)-driven mouse model of spontaneous mammary tumorigenesis. There was a significant increase in IL-6 secretion from Met-1 cells when Kindlin-1 was depleted and conditioned media from Kindlin-1-depleted cells led to a decrease in the ability of Tregs to suppress the proliferation of CD8+ T cells, which was dependent on IL-6. In addition, deletion of tumor-derived IL-6 in the Kindlin-1-depleted tumors reversed the reduction of tumor-infiltrating Tregs. Overall, these data identify a novel function for Kindlin-1 in regulation of anti-tumor immunity, and that Kindlin-1 dependent cytokine secretion can impact the tumor immune environment.
