Aim. To compare the incidence of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic events after left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) or without prevention of thromboembolic events (TEEs) during prospective follow-up of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and a high risk of ischemic stroke (IS) who have contraindications to long-term anticoagulant therapy.

Material and methods. The study included 134 patients with AF, a high risk of IS, and contraindications to long-term anticoagulation. Patients were divided into 2 groups as follows: the first group included patients who underwent LAAO (n=74), while the second one — those who did not undergo any TEE prevention (n=60). The follow-up period was 3 years. The cumulative rate of all-cause mortality, IS, transient ischemic attacks (TIA), and systemic embolism (SE) was taken as the primary efficacy endpoint. The primary safety endpoint included major bleeding according to GARFIELD registry criteria.

Results.  The rate of composite efficacy endpoint in the LAAO group was significantly lower than in the group without thromboembolic prophylaxis (5,2 vs 17,4 per 100 patient-years; adjusted odds ratio (OR), 4,08; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1,7-9,5; p=0,001). The rate of major bleeding was comparable in both groups (2,4 in the LAAO group vs 1,3 per 100 patient-years in the group without thromboembolic prophylaxis; adjusted OR, 0,55; 95% CI: 0,1-3,09; p=0,509). In addition, the event rate of net clinical benefit (all-cause mortality + ischemic stroke/TIA/SE + major bleeding) in the LAAO group was also significantly lower (5,9 vs 18,2 per 100 patient-years; adjusted OR, 3,0; 95% CI: 1,47-6,36; p=0,003).

Conclusion. Among patients with AF and contraindications to long-term anticoagulation after 3 years of follow-up, LAAO demonstrated the significant reduction of cumulative rate of all-cause mortality and non-fatal thromboembolic events. At the same time, the frequency of major bleeding was comparable between the groups, even taking into account access-site bleeding and postoperative antithrombotic therapy (ATT)-associated bleeding in the LAAO group. Further randomized clinical trials are required to confirm these data.

ABSTRACT Introduction: recurrence rates for primary hernia repair range from 0.5 to 15 percent depending upon the hernia site, type of repair, and clinical circumstances. Many risk factors are known and they must be considered before the procedure. In developing countries, follow up and maintenance of databases are critical to understand the real numbers. Methods: a retrospective cohort study analyzed adult patients who have undergone inguinal hernia repair at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, a tertiary care government public hospital, between 2013 and 2015. Medical records, telephone, and letter contact have been reviewed in order to complete the minimum period of 5 years of follow-up. The analyzed data focused on the surgeon’s experience and the recurrence rate in 5 years of follow-up. Results: a total of 1094 medical records were selected and a complete five years follow-up were possible in 454 patients - 538 inguinal hernia repairs due to bilateral approach in 84 patients. These 454 patients answered, in a validated questionnaire about symptoms of recurrence. The total recurrence rate was 9.29%. For the patients who had Nyhus IV, recurrence rate was 24.1% against 9.9% after primary hernia repair, with a 2.4 higher risk. There was no difference in recurrence between surgeons and training surgeons. Conclusion: our data reveal an acceptable recurrence rate in a tertiary care hospital with residents, and to our knowledge is the first Brazilian report with long term follow up. An increased re-recurrent hernia was found when compared with primary hernia repair.

Published: September 2022

Resumo: O estudo da fadiga em ambiente subaquático é dificultado pois envolve diversas variáveis, muitas delas estão relacionadas à interação do material com o meio em que está submetido. Em testes de fadiga em ambiente aquoso foi constatado o aparecimento de bolhas que se desprendem da região da ponta da trinca durante o ensaio, porém, até o momento a literatura não havia relatado esse fenômeno. Buscando a repetibilidade, este trabalho apresenta parâmetros de ensaio que promovam o desprendimento de bolhas, facilitando seu estudo e compreensão. Corpos de prova do tipo C(T) fabricados em aço ASTM A36 foram ensaiados em ambiente subaquático sob uma variação de carga constante (ΔP) de 5kN e frequência de 30Hz. Os desprendimentos das bolhas durante os ensaios foram registrados com uma câmera de alta velocidade (captura de 1000fps). Os resultados indicam que as primeiras bolhas desprendidas durante o ensaio são menores e aumentam de volume com o aumento do comprimento da trinca, chegando a um diâmetro médio máximo e após isso ocorre diminuição e supressão do fenômeno ao se aproximar do final do ensaio. A ocorrência foi associada à fragilização por hidrogênio, com existência já comprovada nesse tipo de ensaio

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT The composite precast slabs are composite systems, in which they are constituted by concrete joists (reinforced or prestressed), filling components and a solidarization layer in reinforced concrete. It is a construction system widely used in the world, mainly in Ibero-American countries, such as Brazil and Spain, for example. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about the compatibility between the theoretical results and the experimental ones, since they are composite systems, and the variables can be decisive in the theoretical models. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the theoretical and experimental results of precast composite slabs. This study developed an experimental program of flexing tests for a slab with pre-stressed center joist reinforced on each side with half-longitudinal slab components and a 5 cm mesh-reinforced concrete cover. Experimental variables were the diameter of steel reinforcement and filler material (ceramic blocks or Expanded Polystyrene – EPS blocks). This study has 4 steps: materials characterization, mechanical tests of the joist, effect of filler material in the structural behavior and theoretical and experimental system behavior at fissuring and rupturing. Prestressed joists ruptured in compression regions during bending tests regardless of the diameter of steel reinforcement due to concrete low strength. Filler material did not alter the slabs rupturing load, but EPS blocks allowed considerable deflections. Regarding maximum bending moment, the selected theoretical models had an agreement of up to 99% on experimental values for 4 mm diameter steel-reinforced joists. However, for the joints with 5 and 6 mm wires, the analysis did not prove to be so valid, reaching a ratio of approximately 70 and 60%, respectively.
Quality Management Systems: correlation study between leadership and maturity
Authors: Silva Cláudia Sousa , Matos Ana
Published: September 2022

abstract: Leadership is a key element of quality management, and, as such, it has been identified as an influential factor in the maturity of quality management systems (QMSs). Some of the previous studies on the relationship between leadership styles and QMS performance have argued that no universal best leadership style exists, stressing that leadership practices should be appropriate to the context. Thus, this research aims to further explore this relationship by considering the QMS context, namely the practitioners' leadership profile and the QMS maturity. Accordingly, the primary objectives of this study are 1) to understand if a leadership style is predominant depending on the QMS maturity and 2) to understand the relationship between the leadership practices of different styles and the dimensions of the QMS maturity. An exploratory quantitative study was developed in companies located in Portugal through a survey based on the maturity model developed by Nascimento et al. (2016) and the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire®-5X Short Leader Form MLQ of Avolio and Bass (1995). The diagnosis disclosed that only 32% of the sample had a QMS with higher maturity levels (4 and 5, a scale of 1 to 5). The results highlighted that no single leadership style dominates a specific maturity level. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was demonstrated between several practices of transformational and transactional leadership styles and the dimensions of QMS maturity. As a practical contribution, a guideline was provided with some examples of leadership practices and their impacts on the specific dimensions of QMS maturity. Some steps were also proposed to enable organisations to develop a tailored programme to foster leadership practices suitable to the internal context and promote QMS maturity.

Avoiding surgery in patients with dementia: is it the correct management?
Authors: Koto Tomonari , Kurihara Yoji , Shoji Miwako , Meguro Kenichi
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT. Although hospitalization for dementia is increasing, Japanese doctors often refrain from surgeries considering dementia. A woman in her 80s diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease was admitted to hospital for cholelithiasis. Due to the avoidance of surgery, the inflammation was prolonged and therefore she was unable to eat. Later, she was discharged with central venous nutrition. The care burden on family resulted in her readmission to another hospital. Eventually, the inflammation was alleviated, and she was able to eat. However, it took a long time. In this study, we not only emphasize the risks but also focus on the benefits to postoperative rehabilitation. We also discuss about the benefits of invasive procedures in patients with dementia.

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to compare methods for in vitro diagnosis of pigmented pits and fissures on the occlusal surface. Methods: Forty-one human molars and premolars extracted with pigmentation in pits and fissures were used. The teeth were evaluated with artificial illumination for classification according to ICDAS, followed by fluorescent laser evaluation. For the radiographic evaluation, the teeth were positioned to obtain interproximal images, adopting the criterion of Rodrigues et al. 2008 for diagnosis of lesions. For histological evaluation, the teeth were sectioned in the mesiodistal direction in the occlusal sulcus region and evaluated in a 20-fold stereoscopic magnifying glass, using the criterion of Ekstrand et al. (1997) for evaluation. The methods were compared with the histological evaluation, obtaining values of accuracy, sensitivity and specificity regarding the response variables “presence / absence” of enamel caries. Results: When comparing visual inspection with histological analysis, 65.85% accuracy, 40% sensitivity and 90.48% specificity were observed with false positive and negative probability of 20% and 38.71%. When comparing the fluorescent laser with the histological analysis, the accuracy was 58.54%, sensitivity 70% and specificity 47.62%. Comparing the radiographic analysis with the histological analysis, it was obtained 53.66% accuracy, sensitivity of 42.11% and specificity of 73.68%. Conclusion: The ROC curve and the Yuden index showed that visual inspection presented the best combination of sensitivity and specificity than fluorescent laser and radiographic analysis for diagnosis, which represented the best method for detecting inactive carious lesions in enamel.

Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: the present research aims to understand the role of behavioral biases present in the investment decision in entrepreneurs and managers, in the light of the behavioral finance. Theoretical approach: Considering that non-financial aspects influence the decision making of investments in real assets, the present research focuses on how individual characteristics, notably behavioral biases, can affect these investment decisions, from the perspective of Behavioral Finance. Method: a qualitative research was developed. Interviews were held with eight managers or entrepreneurs who usually make investment decisions in real assets within their organizations. Interviews were transcribed and content analysis was used to analyze the data. Results: findings suggest the presence of behavioral biases in the decision-making presented by the interviewees, specifically the optimism and overconfidence, loss aversion, self-attribution, sunk cost, endowment effect, regret, conservatism, and external agent effect. Optimism, overconfidence, and loss aversion were present in all the interviewees’ speeches. Regret and external agent effect emerged in entrepreneurs’ speech while conservatism bias emerged in the speech of managers. Conclusions: entrepreneurs and managers indistinctly presented behavioral biases; however, the triggers for those biases are diverse. When it refers to insecurity in deciding, entrepreneurs allow themselves to question their own decision-making ability, by either regret or consulting an external agent, while managers hold themselves in conservative decisions.

Published: September 2022

Abstract Being Spanish one of the most frequent languages of study, this paper aims to analyze, through a SWOT study, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of Spanish for tourism textbooks so as to determine their present and future. In doing so, the authors of this manuscript have carried out a qualitative and quantitative study. After an online discussion with four experienced language teachers, we have elaborated an observation checklist that contributes to the field of study and could serve as a tool to analyse language textbooks. We have applied this observation checklist to analyse ten Spanish for tourism textbooks. Results show that textbooks in this field have been adapted to the new realities of language teaching but still fail to include important elements for the correct development of all the skills.

O artigo elenca algumas contribuições para a compreensão da unidade cérebro-mente e o desenvolvimento da consciência, voltado principalmente à vivência acadêmica, especialmente oriundas das faculdades médicas e da psicologia, que se dedicam ao estudo desses saberes a partir das obras de Vigotski e sua teoria Histórico-Cultural, cunhada no método crítico e dialético. Entende-se que tais contribuições podem trazer melhorias no avanço da neurociência, além de aperfeiçoar a compreensão desse complexo sistema, principalmente no emprego de suas abordagens e aplicações aos processos de sofrimento e adoecimento psíquico. Além de apresentar sucintamente algumas obras de Vigotski sobre a temática, realiza-se um breve exercício de crítica dialética, ao aferir um dos livros didáticos mais utilizados nas ementas dos cursos supracitados, que trata do desenvolvimento da consciência e das bases da psiquiatria, ressaltando a importância do conhecimento e da educação como promotora da emancipação humana. Por último, propõem-se algumas reflexões sobre a necessidade de se compreender o cérebro como base material da consciência, cujos processos psíquicos e fisiológicos surgem e atuam em unidade, a partir do seu caráter social, tecendo comentários inerentes às lacunas na formação desses profissionais.
Broadway Bridge tied arches replacement project, AR, USA
Authors: McCombs Natalie , Larson Sarah
Published: September 2022

The new Broadway Bridge over the Arkansas River is located in downtown Little Rock, AR, USA. The Arkansas Department of Transportation replaced the existing historical structure, which was costly to maintain and considered structurally deficient. The new iconic structure consists of two basket-handled 134 m tied-arch bridges, which are designed to accommodate 24 000 vehicles daily, and includes a shared-used path. The US$98 million bridge was completed in 2017. Located along the existing alignment in a downtown metropolitan area, impacts to traffic were a prime concern. The bridge was closed to traffic for 6 months to allow for construction and to float the new arches into place. Throughout design, fracture-critical members were given careful consideration. The tie girder was designed with a bolted connection to prevent a fracture in one plate from propagating throughout the cross-section. It was then analysed as a three-sided section at the extreme event limit state. This internal redundancy minimised the potential risk of a catastrophic structural failure. This paper discusses the design considerations for the fracture-critical members, the construction technique and the expected movement of the main-span tied-arch superstructures.

Published: September 2022

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar a relação existente entre as estratégias de aprendizagem adotadas por graduandos de contabilidade do Ensino a Distância (EAD) e seus respectivos desempenhos acadêmicos. Com a pandemia provocada pela Covid-19, várias Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) precisaram investir em tecnologias que facilitam a introdução e disseminação do EAD. Apesar das similaridades de conteúdo entre o ensino presencial e o EAD, o processo de aprendizagem é distinto entre as modalidades, tornando-se necessário compreender as estratégias que ajudam a explicar o desempenho desses discentes. Para atingir o objetivo proposto pela pesquisa, foi conduzido um levantamento com 174 discentes do curso de Ciências Contábeis EAD de uma IES privada com sede na cidade de São Paulo. A análise dos dados contou com técnicas quantitativas, como teste de médias, análise de componentes principais e regressões lineares simples e múltiplas. A partir dos resultados da pesquisa, foi possível identificar uma correlação positiva entre as principais estratégias utilizadas pelos discentes e o desempenho no curso, corroborando com a literatura sobre o tema. Em especial, as estratégias cognitivas mostraram-se mais importantes para os estudantes da amostra da pesquisa. Os resultados do estudo ajudam a compreender como os discentes de contabilidade do EAD utilizam estratégias que ajudam no seu desempenho acadêmico, o que pode ser útil para os gestores de curso, estudantes da área, professores e para a condução de políticas educacionais pela classe contábil.

Authors: Durso Samuel de Oliveira , Decoster Sonia Rosa Arbues
Published: September 2022

This research aimed to identify the relations between the learning strategies adopted by distance education accounting students and their academic performances. In the context of the pandemic caused by Covid-19, several Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) needed to invest in technologies that facilitate the introduction and dissemination of the distance education. Despite the similarities in content between face-to-face and distance education, the learning process is different between the modalities, making it necessary to understand the strategies that help explain the performance of these students. To achieve the objective proposed by the research, a survey was carried out with 174 students of accounting undergraduate course in the distance education modality of a private HEI based in the city of São Paulo. The data used in this research was based in quantitative techniques, such as test of means, analysis of principal components and simple and multiple linear regressions. From the research results, it was possible to identify a positive correlation between the main strategies used by the students and the performance in the course, corroborating the literature consulted. Cognitive strategies, specially, proved to be more important for students in the research sample. The study results help to understand how accounting students use strategies that help their academic performance, which can be useful for course managers, students in the area, professors, and for the conduction of educational polices by the accounting association.
Sentidos de delito político y participación en política proyectados por los magistrados de la Corte Constitucional colombiana a través de las argumentaciones empleadas en la Sentencia C-577 de 2014 y salvamentos de voto

El objetivo es mostrar los sentidos de delito político y participación en política proyectados por los magistrados de la corte constitucional colombianaa través de las argumentaciones empleadas en la sentencia C-577 de 2014 y en sus salvamentos de voto. el enfoque metodológico elegido es descriptivoe interpretativo, centrado en el análisis de la manera cómo las argumentaciones puestas en juego en la sentencia C-577 de 2014 por los magistrados de lacorte constitucional contribuyeron en la actualización del sentido de delito político y participación en política en colombia. se destacan tres resultados:1) la mayoría de los magistrados usaron un modelo argumentativo con el fin de proyectar un sentido de inclusión y deliberación en lo concerniente con lamanera cómo debe interpretarse la participación en política y el delito político; 2) el magistrado disidente total recurrió a un esquema argumentativo paraposicionar un sentido meramente formal, centrado en el seguimiento de procedimientos ineludibles; y 3) los magistrados disidentes parciales utilizaron un modelo argumentativo con el propósito de introducir un sentido de inclusión radical. se concluye que el sentido incluyente deliberativo logró posicionarse en colombia como referencia obligatoria, cuando el constituyente secundario pretenda regular la función atribuida constitucionalmente al legislador de fijar el contenido normativo del delito político, con el fin de favorecer la participación en política de quienes hayan participado en el conflicto armado interno dentro de un contexto de justicia transicional.
Moralidad y tragedia. Una perspectiva trágica sobre el pensamiento moral
Authors: Serna Castro Yobany
Published: September 2022

El artículo consiste en una reflexión sobre la manera como puede entenderse, moralmente hablando, la tragedia griega. En otras palabras, lo que intenta mostrar el artículo es que la tragedia posee un importante significado moral, significado que puede explorarse con la intención de enriquecer nuestra manera de comprender los problemas del comportamiento humano que son de interés para la reflexión ética. En este sentido, la lectura de las tragediaselegidas se apoya en la consideración de que, además de entender estas en un contexto esencialmente literario y artístico, pueden entenderse también como fuentes de indagación sobre el comportamiento humano, más puntualmente sobre el actuar moral. Se trata de la posibilidad de enriquecer nuestra comprensión actual de la ética y de la forma como pueden también concebirse los problemas que son de interés de esta. Es por ello que, con el objetivo de hacer esto, se hace no solo una relectura de las tragedias en el contexto de la reflexión moral, sino que se intenta, asimismo, ofrecer una interpretación que ayude en la justificación de este punto de vista.

La fundamentación de los deberes morales y jurídicos desde un punto de vista indígena: el caso de dos comunidades indígenas de Colombia
Authors: Chindoy Chindoy Juan Alejandro
Published: September 2022

A partir del ejemplo del rol de la oralidad en la fundamentación del deber moral y jurídico en los pueblos nativos kamëntšá e inga, asentados en el suroccidente colombiano, este artículo de reflexión se propone como objetivo principal mostrar que la narrativa oral indígena funciona como una forma distintiva de argumentación que da fundamento objetivo a los deberes morales y jurídicos de una comunidad. Usando el método histórico-hermenéutico, con un enfoque de análisis documental, se muestran dos resultados significativos. El primero es que una conceptualización adecuada sobre la caracterización de la narrativa oral indígena tanto desde la perspectiva de la filosofía occidental como desde un punto de vista indígena conduce a la tesis de que la fundamentación de los deberes morales y jurídicos en las comunidades kamëntšá e inga tiene un carácter eminentemente dialógico. Un resultado adicional del análisis interpretativo es que la narrativa oral indígena es una forma de argumentación que no implica una ciega obediencia atávica. Finalmente, se concluye indicando que la fundamentación  de los deberes morales y jurídicos de las comunidades kamëntšá e inga es formalmente similar a la fundamentación que han usado las tradiciones jurídicas más representativas de occidente, pero materialmente disímil tantopor su énfasis comunitario como su marcado carácter objetivo de los valores.

Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by arthropods. It is caused by four Ribonucleic Acids (RNA) flavivirus serotypes (dengue virus [DENV] -1, -2, -3, and -4) which are transmitted by blood-feeding mosquitoes, primarily the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The infection causes flu-like symptoms and sometimes progresses to death.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğretmen algılarına göre okul yönetişimi ile örgütsel muhalefet arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Araştırma betimsel ilişkisel tarama modeliyle desenlenmiştir. Araştırmanın evreni, 2019-2020 öğretim yılında Kahramanmaraş’ın Onikişubat ve Dulkadiroğlu ilçelerindeki resmi ortaokullarda görev yapan 3462 öğretmenden, örneklemi ise araştırma evreninden “Kolay Ulaşılabilir Örnekleme” yöntemiyle belirlenen 600 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak, Yüner (2018) tarafından geliştirilen “Okul Yönetişimi Ölçeği”, Ergün ve Çelik (2018) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan “Örgütsel Muhalefet Ölçeği” ve katılımcıların demografik bilgilerinin yer aldığı “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen verilerin uygun analiz programı kullanılarak yüzde, frekans, aritmetik ortalama ve standart sapma değerleri bulunmuş, iki kategorili değişkenler için t-Testi, ikiden fazla kategorili değişkenler için ANOVA analizi kullanılmıştır. Anlamlı fark olan grupların belirlenmesi için Post-Hoc (Bonferroni) testi, değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi için ise korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre, öğretmenlerin okul yönetişiminin şeffaflık ve hukuka bağlılık boyutları ile örgütsel muhalefetin içsel muhalefet boyutuna yönelik algıları arasında pozitif yönde, anlamlı ancak düşük düzeyde ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin katılım boyutu ile içsel muhalefet boyutuna yönelik algıları arasında ve dışsal muhalefet boyutu ile okul yönetişiminin tüm alt boyutlarına yönelik algıları arasında ise anlamlı ilişkiye rastlanmamıştır. Buna göre okullarda örgütsel muhalefetin artması ya da azalmasının okul yönetişimiyle yüksek düzeyde ilişkisinin olmadığı görülmüştür.

Bu çalışmada, Asya-Pasifik bölgesinde yeni bir iktisadi oluşum olarak Bölgesel Kapsamlı Ekonomik Ortaklık (RCEP) anlaşmasına taraf olan 15 ülkenin, standart ürün grupları bazında ihracattaki karşılaştırmalı üstünlüklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bunun için 2011-2020 arası yıllar seçilmiş ve Açıklanmış Karşılaştırmalı Üstünlükleri (RCA) ölçmek için de Balassa İndeksi ile hesaplamalar yapılmıştır. Ülkelerin ihraç ettiği ürünler, üretimdeki faktör yoğunluklarına göre (düşük, orta, yüksek teknoloji; emek, hammadde, sermaye yoğun; kolay taklit ve zor taklit, madenler ve metaller, mineral yakıtlar, tarımsal ürünler, tekstil, imalat) toplamda 13 standart ürün grubuna ayrılmış ve her grup için ayrı ayrı RCA katsayıları belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, RCEP ülkeleri (9 ülke) en fazla tarımsal ürün gruplarında uzmanlaşmıştır. Bu sektörü imalat sanayi (8 ülke) ve hammadde yoğun mallar (7 ülke) izlemiştir. Araştırma bazlı malların yer aldığı kolay taklit ve zor taklit gruplarda ise 7 ülke, yüksek teknoloji grubunda ise 6 ülke uzmanlaşmış ve ihracatta karşılaştırmalı üstünlük elde etmiştir. Araştırma bazlı bu gruplarda özellikle Çin, Vietnam, Güney Kore, Malezya, Tayland, Filipinler, Singapur ve Japonya’nın üstünlüğü söz konusudur.

A part of the Raša Bay (western Croatia) is an estuary that is fed by the sediment load from the Raša River. The local area had been affected by the former Raša coal industry. The aim of this study was to determine levels of hazardous trace elements (HTEs) in bottom estuarine sediments, fish and mussels collected from two sites downstream of the Raša River mouth, and a wild boar’s kidney donated by hunters. The pseudo-total concentrations of 21 HTEs in sediments were obtained by the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technique. The results showed that sediment collected closest to the former Raša coal separation unit Štalije was enriched in V, Sr, Ni, Cu, and Pb. Concentrations of HTEs in flathead grey mullet, wild blue mussels, and wild boar were obtained by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results showed that Pb, Cd and Hg in fish and wild mussels were not elevated compared to the Regulation levels of contaminants in food. Lead and Cd in the kidney of a wild boar exceeded the prescribed maximum values for food. This study warrants further geochemical investigations of the Raša Bay environment.

Training of mining locomotive drivers using simulators will increase the efficiency and intensity of training. Due to this, a decrease in financial and time expenditures for training a driver, an increase in the safety and productivity of his labour will be achieved. The number of errors in the work and damage to equipment, which are sometimes caused by the driver's inexperience will be reduced. The mining train driver's simulator is manufactured as an autonomous training tool with the trainee immersion in a virtual environment that is as close as possible to a real working environment and is a training complex consisting of hardware and software. The software simulates the operation of all locomotive systems, mining sidings infrastructure and an interactive 3D panorama of the environment. In the driver's cabin of a mining locomotive, a real working environment is reproduced, control, alarm and indication elements of the locomotive, as well as other equipment of a real cabin necessary for performing all technological operations are located. Training complexes will never replace real experience in the workplace, but they can quickly increase the qualifications of trainees, develop in them the skills of acting in non-standard and emergency situations, which is extremely difficult in real work conditions.
