El laberinto de las modas gerenciales: ¿ventaja trivial o cambio forzado en empresas disruptivas?
Authors: Añez Barrios Diomar Gerardo
Published: June 2023

La presente investigación se realizó en el marco de una revisión sistemática de la literatura especializada haciendo uso del análisis bibliométrico sobre el tema de las modas gerenciales en sus dos acepciones: «management fashions» y «management fads». Se trata de un fenómeno que involucra un mercado de oferentes (promotores, consultores, editoriales, escuela de negocios) y demandantes (organizaciones -públicas, privadas, sin fines de lucro-, gerentes y directivos). La bibliografía reciente sigue tomando como referentes las investigaciones de los 90'. La complejidad del tema de estudio conlleva la integración de una multiplicidad de disciplinas y temáticas cuya amplitud incrementa la dificultad para una comprensión sistemática de las modas gerenciales. La investigación es de corte cualitativa – deductiva, siendo retrospectiva, documental - secundaria. Para el proceso de revisión y análisis, se siguió la metodología PRISMA con cuya parametrización, solo 50 registros cumplieron con los criterios establecidos. Con las herramientas informáticas VOSViewer y Atlas.Ti, se estructuraron mapas de co-citaciones de autores y mapas de palabras claves relacionadas, y se organizó una red de codificaciones y categorizaciones de los artículos.

Authors: Mazmanishvili O.S. , Reshetnyak M.G. , Chertischev I.A.
Published: June 2023

The characteristics of the electron beam generated by the magnetron gun are studied. The experiments were carried out with magnetron guns with secondary emission cathodes (cathode diameter 2 and 3 mm, anode diameter 15 and 50 mm) at the cathode voltage of 8…50 kV. The magnetic fields were created both by the solenoid and jointly by the solenoid and the permanent magnet. The possibility of controlling the beam diameter by varying the magnetic field is shown. Beam imprints were obtained on targets located at selected distances. The dependence of the transverse dimensions of the beam on the configuration of the magnetic field in the electron beam transport channel is numerically studied. It is shown that the experimental data are consistent with the results of numerical simulation.
GENERAL SOLUTION OF THE EXCITATION PROBLEM OF A SYMMETRIC FLAT DIELECTRIC STRUCTURE BY PLANE ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
Authors: Vasiliev A.V. , Povrozin A.I. , Sotnikov G.V.
Published: June 2023

General solution of the excitation problem of a symmetric flat dielectric structure by two laser pulses is obtained. The symmetrical geometry consists of two dielectric prisms separated by a vacuum channel for electron acceleration (so called “sandwich”). Each prism can be illuminated with a separate laser pulse; electric filed amplitudes of pulses can differ. The general solution consist from a symmetric distribution and asymmetric one of a longitudinal electric field across the vacuum channel. In the case of a general solution, the effect of the asymmetric part on the total amplitude of the accelerating and defocusing fields is also analyzed. We determined also conditions when a symmetric or asymmetric solution only is realized. For these cases, the obtained analytical solutions are compared with results of full time-domain numerical simulations of bilateral excitation of dielectric prisms with laser pulses.
MODELING AND PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OF THIN FILM HEATING DURING THE PASSAGE OF A HIGH-ENERGY ELECTRON BEAM
Authors: Luhanko M. , Shopen O. , Karpus S. , Malykhina T.
Published: June 2023

The preliminary experimental results as well as modeling the heating of thin-foil materials during the passage of high-energy electrons with energy of 15 MeV are presented. Foils of 50 μm titanium, 50 μm aluminum and 125 μm Kapton® were chosen as the test targets. A calculation technique has been developed, which consists of automating the finite difference method applying Python programming language tools. These tools allowed solving the problem of heat distribution in the thin foil, taking into account the ionization losses of the primary electron beam and the black body radiation. The data on the surface temperature distribution of the research samples were obtained. The time for establishing thermal equilibrium was determined taking into account the distribution of the electron beam current density. It is shown that optimization of the main parameters of the high-energy electron beam beam (for example the current density) makes it possible to neglect the thermal loads on these films, which was confirmed during bench tests at 30 MeV electron accelerator of the IHEPNP NSC KIPT.
verbo grego splanchnizomai presente no Evangelho de Lucas como práxis do Papa Francisco
Authors: Saragiotto Giuliano , Pariz Leandro
Published: June 2023

Lucas revela que Deus é misericórdia. O autor do terceiro Evangelho narra a revelação do rosto misericordioso de Deus em seu filho Jesus. Por meio do estudo da origem da expressão: “ser movido de compaixão” representada pelo verbo grego splanchnizomai presente nas passagens lucanas da reanimação do filho da viúva de Naim (7,11-17), parábola do bom samaritano (10,29-37) e a parábola do Pai misericordioso (15,11-32); é apresentada a atualização do termo na práxis das visitas realizadas pelo Papa Francisco em ocasião do Ano Jubilar da Misericórdia em 2016 e sua interpelação aos crentes para que tenham a mesma compaixão de Jesus: não como uma mera emoção passageira, mas um chamado para agir em nome do amor de seu Pai, que ao ver as situações extremas de vida, rompe com as lógicas humanas e vai ao encontro dos mais vulneráveis.
Revelação divina a partir da sede na perícope da samaritana (Jo 4,5-15)
Authors: Joaquim Luis Gustavo da Silva
Published: June 2023

O presente artigo consiste em uma breve análise e reflexão acerca da significação da sede de Jesus à beira do poço de Jacó, conforme a narrativa bíblica de Jo 4,5-15, e a sua profunda relação com a Revelação divina. Esta análise perpassa a abordagem poética do cardeal português José Tolentino Mendonça em sua obra intitulada Elogio da sede, publicada no ano de 2018. Assim, a partir do diálogo que Jesus estabelece com a mulher samaritana no poço, ele se revela como sendo a fonte de água viva, e, também, constitui a sede, isto é, a nossa humanidade como o lugar privilegiado da revelação, manifestação e comunicação de Deus.
Religião e Teatro
Authors: Mesquita Eryton
Published: June 2023

O presente estudo busca comparar e discutir a ressignificação poética entre o teatro e a religião através de quatro espetáculos “afropoéticos”, que julgamos ser os principais na cena paraense, quando o quesito é seguir um conceito “estético-religioso”, ou seja, quando o artista cênico convoca a religião como matéria prima seja na performance, no figurino, cenografia ou na própria dramaturgia. Sendo assim, os temas sacros das religiões de matriz africana[1] (Umbanda e Candomblé) ficam em evidência nestes processos teatrais. Busca-se o conceito de Conversão Semiótica, proposto por Loureiro em três de suas obras, a primeira sobre a respeito da poética do imaginário[2]; a segunda um estudo sobre estética e poéticas do mito[3] e o terceiro discute mais a fundo o conceito proposto exemplificado nos aspectos religiosos[4]. No qual o autor esclarece a mudança da qualidade do signo conforme o seu deslocamento nos diferentes campos de relação: como a religião para a arte, as suas trocas simbólicas.

The Trial of Íria Álvares: Conviviality and Inequality in the Portuguese Inquisition Records
Authors: O'Leary Jessica
Published: June 2023

In this paper, I analyse the Inquisition trial record of Íria Álvares (fl. 1580-1600), an Indigenous woman from the sertão of Bahia. Íria was the only Indigenous woman born to Indigenous parents who was tried by the First Visit of the Inquisition to Brazil in the sixteenth century. For this reason, her trial record represents a unique opportunity to explore the experiences of a freed Indigenous woman who spent her childhood in the sertão and adolescence and adulthood in colonial society. An analysis of her trial suggests that Íria was cognisant of the dynamics of colonial society and used her understanding of idealised convivialities to her advantage when negotiating the legal apparatus of the Portuguese Inquisition.

Destinação de lodo biológico da indústria de cosméticos: uma abordagem de ciclo de vida
Authors:   , Santos Bárbara Franca dos
Published: June 2023

O tratamento de águas residuais da indústria de cosméticos corporais e capilares é gerador de lodo, cuja disposição final é desafiadora para a indústria em virtude dos impactos ambientais relacionados. Visando compreender a origem desses impactos e mensurá-los, a Avaliação de Ciclo de Vida é uma das metodologias que vem sendo aplicadas. No entanto, a literatura carece de estudos que avaliem os potenciais impactos ambientais deste resíduo. A partir da demanda observada, foi desenvolvida nesse trabalho uma avaliação comparativa de ciclo de vida de duas alternativas para o tratamento e a destinação do lodo biológico gerado em uma ETE de indústria cosmética localizada em Minas Gerais, Brasil. Os resultados obtidos apontaram que, dentre as alternativas estudadas, a síntese de carvão ativado apresentou maiores impactos ambientais quando comparado ao processo de compostagem para obtenção de composto orgânico, revelando que o impacto ambiental da compostagem representou entre 0,02% e 11,35% do impacto do processo de síntese de carvão ativado, nas categorias avaliadas. Contudo, apesar de ser causador de maior impacto ambiental, a síntese de material adsorvente gera produtos de maior valor agregado, capazes de solucionar problemas ambientais mais desafiadores. Através dos resultados das investigações efetuadas neste trabalho, tornou-se possível ter uma compreensão mais significativa acerca da dimensão dos impactos ambientais das alternativas estudadas para o tratamento e a destinação do lodo biológico da indústria cosmética no Brasil. Outra contribuição está no auxílio para a tomada de decisão pelos gestores ambientais na indústria. Palavras-chave: Carvão ativado. Compostagem. Pirólise. ReCiPe.
Fatores associados ao padrão alimentar de nutrizes atendidas pelo programa de apoio à lactação
Authors:   , Pacheco Thaís de Melo
Published: June 2023

Introdução e objetivo: A lactação é o período que se inicia após o parto, juntamente ao puerpério. Sabendo que as escolhas alimentares durante esse período são cercadas de tabus, mitos, preconceitos, falsas crenças, além da possível influência dos fatores socioeconômicos e gestacionais, o presente estudo investigou quais desses fatores estão associados ao padrão alimentar de nutrizes. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, com dados de 397 mulheres acompanhadas pelo Programa de Apoio à Lactação (PROLAC), do município de Viçosa-MG, no primeiro ano de vida de seus filhos. O padrão alimentar foi determinado a partir das informações de um recordatório de ingestão habitual, sendo as análises realizadas no software Dietpro® versão 6.1. Para a identificação de padrões alimentares, foi aplicada a Análise fatorial por Componentes Principais (ACP). Ademais, foram coletadas, por meio de prontuários, informações socioeconômicas, gestacionais e o tipo de aleitamento materno praticado pela nutriz. Para avaliação dos fatores associados aos padrões alimentares das nutrizes, foi aplicada a análise de regressão linear múltipla hierarquizada. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas no programa Stata® versão 14.0. Resultados: Foram identificados cinco padrões alimentares, denominados “Tradicional”, “Não saudável”, “Saudável”, “Frutas” e “Carboidratos”, que representam de forma global a alimentação das nutrizes e explicaram 42,9% da variância de consumo. Observou-se que o maior número de filhos, ganho de peso gestacional excessivo, e ausência de um companheiro, relacionaram à maior adesão ao padrão “Tradicional”. O menor número de consultas pré-natal associou-se a maior adesão ao padrão “Não saudável”. Para o padrão “Frutas”, a idade materna apresentou associação positiva, enquanto o IMC pré-gestacional e a escolaridade materna apresentaram associação negativa à adesão a esse padrão. Por fim, o padrão “Carboidratos” associou-se positivamente à renda familiar e negativamente às intercorrências gestacionais. Conclusão: Os fatores socioeconômicos e demográficos (idade, escolaridade, renda familiar, presença de um companheiro e número de filhos) e os gestacionais (IMC pré-gestacional, ganho de peso gestacional, número de consultas pré-natal e intercorrências gestacionais) foram associados aos padrões alimentares da nutriz, destacando a importância e a necessidade de ações de educação alimentar e acompanhamento nutricional para esta população. Palavras-chave: Lactação. Gestação. Nutrição materna. Consumo alimentar. Contexto social.
Indicadores nutricionais e inflamatórios em adultos e idosos em tratamento oncológico
Authors:   , Emerenciano Elise Moraes e Silva
Published: June 2023

O câncer é considerado um problema de saúde pública mundial, com estimativas crescentes de novos casos e importante carga emocional, física e financeira para os indivíduos, comunidades e sistemas de saúde. O estado nutricional se relaciona, diretamente, com a progressão da doença, a sobrevida, a resposta imunológica e inflamatória, a resposta ao tratamento e interfere na qualidade de vida do paciente. O trabalho se propôs a analisar indicadores nutricionais, a prevalência de sarcopenia, marcadores bioquímicos de inflamação e complicações clínicas em adultos e idosos internados em tratamento oncológico, agrupados em tumor sólido e tumor hematológico. Para a revisão sistemática de literatura, priorizamos o marcador Razão Plaqueta-linfócito (PLR) como indicador inflamatório para prever Sobrevida Global (SG) em pacientes em tratamento quimioterápico e/ou radioterápico. Utilizamos as recomendações das diretrizes Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines que foram conduzidas por dois autores nos bancos de dados Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane e Web of Science. O artigo original dessa dissertação possui delineamento transversal com dados coletados em prontuário eletrônico, entre o período de 2018 a 2020, em um hospital público e um particular de Belo Horizonte – Minas Gerais. Foram utilizados para a avaliação do perfil nutricional os dados antropométricos, a avaliação subjetiva global produzida pelo paciente (AGS-PPP), dados de diagnóstico de sarcopenia, análise dos marcadores razão neutrófilo-linfócito (NLR) e razão plaqueta-linfócito (PLR), assim como dados pertinentes ao estado clínico, ocorrência de complicações e óbito. Ademais, foram avaliadas associações entre as complicações clínicas, a sarcopenia, indicadores do estado nutricional e marcadores de inflamação para os tumores sólidos. Todos os testes estatísticos foram analisados no programa SPSS versão 22.0 e no Stata Statistical Software: Release 14. O nível de significância adotado é de α=5%. No artigo de revisão foram incluídos 5 artigos que atenderam a todos os critérios de elegibilidade. A taxa de SG, quando o PLR estava aumentado, variou entre 4 e 36,80 meses. Os resultados demonstraram que apesar de ocorrer uma redução do marcador durante o tratamento, o PLR quando elevado pode ser preditor negativo para SG. No artigo original, diarreia, disfagia, sepse e desidratação apresentaram maior prevalência em TS, comparado à NH. O Sexo masculino se associou a NH; etilismo, metástase, NLR, diarreia, disfagia, desidratação e óbito se associaram ao TS. A associação do TS às variáveis indicativas do estado de saúde, inflamação e eventos adversos devem ser considerados para otimizar o manejo terapêutico. Palavras-chave: Neoplasias.

Authors: Efendy Oscar , Fathi Royyani Mohammad , Agusta Andria , Ashari Hidayat , P Keim Ary
Published: June 2023

A study on the usage of termite larvae (gundik) was conducted to formally validate common knowledge. Using termite larvae is thought to boost male stamina among the inhabitants of East Java. As a result, studies with an ethnozoological viewpoint are being conducted in relation to these phenomena. The species used by the community were examined in the laboratory to discover the active chemicals present. Additionally, a linguistic analysis of this information was done. According to the findings of this investigation, the species used do not have active chemicals for this purpose. This information likely derives from presumptions the community has made about ongoing social processes, such as termite larvae.

Interactive Marketing Practices and Market Performance in Soft Drinks Industry: An Empirical Study on Competitive Advantage As a Mediator
Authors: Nimusima Pereez , Aryatwijuka Wilbroad , Emmanuel Erem , Charles Kaggwa , Mbabazi Olivia , Rwakihembo John
Published: June 2023

Purpose: To what extent does competitive advantage mediate the relationship between interactive marketing practices and market performance? In attempt to respond to this question, this study was conducted with the aim of examining the mediating role of competitive advantage on the interactive marketing practices market performance relationship in the soft drink industry context.

Methodology: A cross-sectional research design was taken on a sample of 322 soft drink manufacturing enterprises in the city of Kigali. The unit of inquiry for the quantitative study were the sales, accounting, finance, marketing and communication managers whereas chief executive officers were the unit of inquiry for the qualitative study. The study used both questionnaire and interview guide to collect data. Path analysis, MedGraph v3.xlsm and Hierarchical regression were used to test the model.

Findings: Study findings show that performance of soft drink enterprises is positively associated with interactive marketing practices. It was observed in this study also that competitive advantage partially mediates this relationship. Practically the four conditions for mediation were met as suggested by Baron and Kenny, (1986). Firstly, we observe that there was a significant direct effect of Interactive marketing practices on market performance (=.270; p<.05). Secondly, Interactive marketing practices and competitive advantage have a significant relationship (=.400; p<.05), and thirdly, the observed coefficient of the mediator (competitive advantage) is significant as seen in the regression model 3 (=.396; p<.05). It is observed, finally, that the absolute effect of Interactive marketing practices on market performance is smaller in regression model 3 (=.157; p<.05) than in regression model 2 (=.270; p<.05).This confirm the mediation effects of competitive advantage. Further still a ratio index of 41.9% was observed an indication that competitive advantage reduces the relationship between interactive marketing practices and performance by 41.9% in Kigali city soft drink enterprises.  

Recommendations: In line with this confirmed mediation effects, managers are reminded to allocate sufficient resources to customer intimacy, product leadership and operational excellence as specific competitive priorities if they are to attain better market performance results. The study is of a theoretical importance as it empirically confirm the mediating role of competitive advantage in the interactive marketing practices-market performance relationship in a soft drink industry context. The imperative for practitioners to sufficiently attend to operational efficiency, customer intimacy and product leadership is reiterated on in this study.
The Effects of Corruption on The Right to Development and The Challenge in Combating It in Cameroon
Authors: Nkwain Akem Kelvin
Published: June 2023

Corruption is a phenomenon with serious consequences that affect human society all around the world. It is so rampant in Cameroon that not even the church is free from it. In 1998 and 1999, Cameroon as per Transparency International Indices was classified as the most corrupt country in the world. The government in an effort to eradicate corruption and enhance the right to development has put in place legal, institutional, and policy frameworks to combat the ill, yet the phenomenon still prevails. This research, therefore, aims to critically examine the prevalence of corruption and its effects on the right to development. The study adopts a qualitative research methodology that involves the content analysis of primary and secondary data. This study reveals that corruption prevails in Cameroon because of the lack of political will to implement the laws against corruption, especially section 66 of the constitution which obliges public officials to declare all their wealth and assets at the start and end of their mandates, and other factors. The study concludes that, the prevalence of the phenomenon largely hampers economic growth and human rights protection especially the right to development. It leads to further indebtedness of the country, causes chaos and political instability, brain drain as skilled labour exits to seek greener pastures, and results in poverty and low living standards. The study, therefore, recommends that the political will and proper implementation of section 66 of the constitution will be a great step toward eradicating corruption in Cameroon. If Cameroon must be corruption free as Finland, there must be committed leadership with a strong political will to inculcate the principles of accountability, honesty, and patriotism in the management of public affairs and national resources for the common good of all.

Published: June 2023

In this study, composites of carbon nanotubes and zinc matrix have been fabricated by a powder metallurgy method. Firstly, CNT and Zn powders with sizes in the range of (4.5-6.7) nm, respectivel are dispersed at various weight contents (in the range of (2.0% -.1.0 %) in polyester polymer as solvent to get (polyester /CNT-Zn) Nano composite of about 2 mm thickness. The effects of different multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) contents on the ac conductivity and dielectric properties of the composites were investigated. Ac conductivity measurements of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced polyester have been evaluated. AC conductivity was examined in the frequency range from (100-400k) Hz at ambient temperature.An enhancement of Ac-conductivity, in accordance to percolation theory, was evidenced increasing the weight content of the conductive Nano-filler .The experimental results indicate that the frequency dependent behavior of CNT-Zn /polyester Nano composite can be modeled by R-C circuit, permittivity of material increase with increasing of CNT content. .Also, the results showed that the addition to the zinc matrix of 1% by volume of carbon nanotubes caused increases in the ac conductivity .

Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk for kidney failure, cardiovascular events, and both cause mortality. Accurate models are needed to predict and identify patients at risk of progression to kidney failure which may facilitate more optimal nephrology care.

Objective: This study assessed the kidney failure risk equation among CKD patients to predict when they need to start renal replacement therapy.

Materials and methods: Total of 38 CKD patients were recruited from the renal unit of the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albumin creatinine ratio were measured from each patient. Information on age, gender, body mass index, blood pressure, cause of CKD and type of medication on were obtained from the patient’s medical records. The 4-variable Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) was used to assess the risk of progression to kidney failure among the participants. The KFRE uses 4-variables (age, sex, estimated GFR, albumin).

Results: For both 2-year and 5-year risk of progression, serum creatinine and ACR increases as the risk increases from participants with low risk of progression through to high risk. Mean eGFR decreased from participants with low risk of progression through to those with high risk. Serum creatinine and ACR positively correlated with both 2-year and 5-year risk progression. eGFR, on the other hand, negatively correlated with both 2-year and 5-year risk progression. Participants with high 2- year and 5-year risk were on Linopril/Calcitonin/Atorvostatin drug combination, while participants with low and intermediate risks for both 2-year and 5-year were on lisinopril only.

Conclusion: KFRE was able to discriminate which participants have low, intermediate and high 2-year and 5-year risk of progression to end stage kidney failure and which participants need to start renal replacement therapy.

Mixtures and Mass Terms
Authors: Nicolas David
Published: June 2023

In this article, I show that the semantics one adopts for mass terms constrains the metaphysical claims one can make about mixtures. I first expose why mixtures challenge a singularist approach based on mereological sums. After discussing an alternative, non-singularist approach, I take chemistry into account and explain how it changes our perspective on these issues.
Analysis of Fink’s Argument in Favour of Normative Process-Requirements
Authors: Schneider Leonhard
Published: June 2023

This paper analyses and (tentatively) rejects Julian Fink's argument for the existence of normative process-requirements. According to Fink, only process-requirements allow us to give appropriate normative credit to a subject S who violates certain state-requirements but is undergoing a process that will eventually lead to their satisfaction. I will show that Fink's argument applies, at best, only to a restricted set of cases—namely, when S's undergoing a process has not resulted in the formation of new mental states. In these remaining cases, however, it is implausible to give S normative credit for undergoing the relevant process. Thus, we can assign the correct degree of the corresponding normative property solely in terms of state-requirements. To the extent that this holds, Fink's argument does not entail that there are normative process-requirements.
Dis-Unity of Humean Space
Authors: Weintraub Ruth
Published: June 2023

My aim in this paper is to explore some metaphysical and psychological implications of the (contentious) idealist interpretation of the belief in external objects ("bodies") Hume ascribes to us in the Treatise. More specifically, I will argue that the interpretation commits Hume to the claim that space is spatially fragmented, both synchronically and (even more so) diachronically, and renders Hume incapable of allowing for all the spatial thoughts we think we can have. But (perhaps surprisingly) it does not impugn Hume's view of causation.
