Published: September 2023

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and success factors are systems that enable effective and efficient management of businesses by facilitating coordination and interaction among different units. Therefore, the decision to select the right and applicable ERP implementation and success factors for businesses is a crucial matter. However, due to the cost of ERP implementations and the lengthy adaptation periods for businesses, selecting the relevant systems and success factors requires careful consideration. Identifying ERP implementations and success factors that are suitable for the business processes and structure of the company is a significant decision-making problem, which can be considered as a gap in the literature. In this regard, this study used the Neutrosophic Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method to analyze the critical success factors for ERP in production companies that had more than 10 employees. The results show that project management and top management support were the most important factors. The results have significant implications for business managers and stakeholders involved in the subject matter in terms of cost and resource efficiency as well as gaining competitive advantage.

Authors: Velverthi Navya , Prybutok Victor , Prybutok Gayle , Hong Lingzi
Published: September 2023

Patients now have the option to manage their health care through patient portals and internet apps as health information technology evolves. According to research, these portals can improve patient satisfaction, patient self-management, and patient engagement. Despite their advantages, patient portal acceptance and utilization are still low, particularly among self-managing emerging adults. This study examines the impact of emerging adult risk intentions on patient portal adoption and utilization using perceived risk theory. Emerging adults between the ages of 18 and 29 were surveyed, and structural equation modeling was used to ensure the accuracy of the results. The results highlight the significance of healthcare institutions and the technology developers putting into practice useful tactics and insights to get through resistance behavior and promote adoption and use of patient portals. The study also emphasizes the significance of developing training, awareness campaigns and cost-effective measures to lessen patients' risk perceptions.

Authors: Zhou Peilin , He Peng , Cao Yan , Wang Liguo
Published: September 2023

m-Xylylene diisocyanate (m-XDI) is a raw material wildly used in the manufacture of high value-added polyurethane products and others. m-XDI is a heat-sensitive and easily polymerized substance, and obtaining high-purity m-XDI in industry is challenging, difficult and costly. In this paper, a coupling process of crystallization distillation was proposed to meet the challenge. First, an experiment was carried out to produce a simulated liquid close to the actual pyrolysis liquid components by the reaction of XDI and ethanol. Secondly, two key factors, the final crystallization temperature and the concentration of the m-XDI reaction liquid, which have great effect on the crystallization process of the m-XDI reaction liquid, are studied. Combined with m-XDI saturated vapor pressure and m-XDI-TLB VLE data, the process of m-XDI separation by crystallization distillation coupling was simulated (as shown in the Figure 1), and the process was compared with that of m-XDI separation by distillation alone. The purity of 99.1% m-XDI was obtained by the coupled process of crystal distillation.

O presente trabalho discute a inclusão de crianças com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) e apesar da complexidade e da diversidade de sintomas passíveis de serem identificados nas crianças com o transtorno, como: dificuldade na afetividade, linguagem e socialização, podem e devem ser observadas pelos professores, estas características isoladas ou associadas exigem uma postura de diálogo com os familiares e com o corpo docente, uma atenção direcionada para estimular as potencialidades da criança e uma postura investigativa, reflexiva com o objetivo de ofertar um espaço de aprendizagem e conhecimento. Desse modo, empregou-se como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica com aporte teórico de Cunha (2015) sobre o autista na escola, Mendes (2006) a respeito da radicalização do debate sobre inclusão escolar no Brasil e Ropoli et al. (2010) a propósito da educação especial na perspectiva da inclusão escolar.  Para isso a presente pesquisa propõe-se analisar como se constitui, no contexto escolar no período de ensino fundamental I as relações dos docentes de base comum que atuam no processo de ensino de crianças autistas TEA, em sala de aula regular, considerando quais modificações podem ocorrer em sua atuação devido as singularidades próprias desses alunos.  Dessa forma, expõe-se a importância da dedicação dos profissionais nas práticas pedagógicas visando o desenvolvimento pleno das crianças com TEA, também o quanto é relevante um planejamento flexível e de qualidade, que leve em consideração as necessidades individuais de cada aluno, sendo que a inclusão e valorização dos conhecimentos e interesses desses alunos ao longo das aulas é fundamental para estimular sua participação, considerando suas dificuldades na interação social. Sob esse ponto de vista, o tema reitera a importância de que todas as pessoas compreendam e acolham a diversidade humana, e possam desempenhar um papel na construção de uma sociedade justa e igualitária. É importante que o professor tenha uma percepção sensível às necessidades individuais de cada aluno, concentrando-se em suas habilidades e capacidades, a fim de garantir que o aluno se sinta verdadeiramente incluído, promovendo, desse modo, o processo de ensino e aprendizagem de forma eficaz.

Money market obviously has been among the prominent topics in global discourse concerning steering an economy on an even keel. Nigerian economy has been battling with inflation for the past seven years and it is becoming worse since 2022 with unprecedented galloping inflation with its resultant untold economic discomforts. Consequently, this study with an annual data range 1990 – 2021 is an evaluation of the impact of money market instruments on price stability in Nigeria. using indicators such as Treasury Bills (TB), Discount Windows (DCW), Mutual Funds (MTF), and Risk Premium Lending rate (RPL) to measure money market instruments; and measures such as consumer price index (CPI) and Gross domestic product deflator (GDP- Deflator) measured price stability; while we controlled inflation rate (INF) and exchange rate (EXR). In addition, the results of the CUSUM and CUSUMSQ graphs show that there is no evidence of instability in the series of data from 1990 to 2021. Evidence from the main findings shows that while negative and significant long-run relationships exist between CPI and money market instruments, positive and significant long-run relationships exist between GDP-Deflator and money market instruments in Nigeria. The study concludes that negative long-run relationships exist between money market instruments and price stability in Nigeria hence recommends that government should checkmate the rule of law, governance, regulatory quality, and overall institutional quality to improve the stability of the price of all commodities including money market instruments.

Cselekvési kiindulópontok – A cselekvőképesség szociológiai és buddhista szemléletű tárgyalása
Authors: Király Gábor
Published: September 2023

Ebben a tanulmányban a cselekvőképesség különböző megközelítéseit tekintem át. Az írás fő célja, hogy felvázoljon egy buddhista szemléleten alapuló cselekvőképességet. Elsőként Archer elméleti keretét mutatom be, aki a szociológiában klasszikusnak számító problémával, a cselekvés és a struktúra összefüggésének kérdésével foglalkozik. Szerinte a kettő közötti közvetítő elem az emberek belső párbeszéde, amellyel képesek távolságot képezni maguk és a fennálló társadalmi viszonyok között. Ezen alapul szerinte az emberek cselekvőképessége és reflexivitása. Burkitt szintén szociológiai szemléletet képvisel, viszont a kapcsolatalapú, relacionista kiindulópontból tárgyalja a cselekvőképesség kérdését. Az érzések szerepének (és a velük kapcsolatos reflexív megközelítés) hangsúlyozása mellett felhasználja a buddhista meditáció példáját mint az érzésekhez való alternatív megközelítési formát. Végül az írás kitér Wright evolucionista szemléletére, amelyet a szerző kifejezetten a buddhista alapelvekkel igyekszik összekötni. A különböző megközelítések összefoglalása után a befejezés további kutatási irányokat is felvet.

INTRODUCTION: The cystic duct is one of the bile ducts responsible for the conduction of bile and together with the common hepatic duct make up the cystohepatic trine. The accessory hepatic ducts are those that have undergone anatomical variation and evaginate out of the liver. An example of this is the double cystic duct that presents with an incidence of 1 in 4,000 to 5,000 people. This duplication is classified as an exceptional surgical finding, and its diagnosis, for the most part, is made during surgery. It can even lead to iatrogenic lesions. This fact is justified mainly because its symptomatology is indistinguishable from cases in which there is no variation. CASE PRESENTATION: Patient V.M.S.N, 47 years old, complained of asthenia and epigastric pain for about two years. In consultation with the gastroenterologist, Upper Digestive Endoscopy was requested, which identified positivity for Helicobacter Pylori, hiatal hernia and moderate enanthematous gastritis. The patient was submitted to clinical treatment, but was unsuccessful. Upon returning to the doctor, a Total Abdomen Ultrasound was requested, which exposed mild hepatic steatosis, calculus in the left kidney, and cholelithiasis. Thus, she was referred to the general surgery outpatient clinic and laparoscopic cholecystectomy was indicated. During the surgical procedure, three structures confluent to the gallbladder were identified, opting for intraoperative cholangiography, which showed the presence of an accessory cystic duct. In view of the above, the cystic duct, accessory duct and cystic artery were repaired, and they were ligated. DISCUSSION: It is noted that this is an uncommon anatomical abnormality and is a great challenge for surgeons, marking the risk of iatrogenic lesions during the procedure. Therefore, the preoperative diagnosis and elucidation with the performance of intraoperative cholangiography are extremely important in order to avoid complications. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The finding of accessory cystic duct is an atypical condition that exhibits clinical and radiological polymorphism and, therefore, of difficult preoperative diagnosis. Still, it was not observed in the literature the use of specific complementary tests that would lead to the early diagnosis of such pathology. Currently, the accurate diagnosis of cystic duct duplication is established intraoperatively in order to exclude lesions of the main biliary tract, which reduces the chances of the patient presenting complications, thus providing a better quality of life.

Introduction: The diagnosis of arterial hypertension is made with the measurement of blood pressure in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Currently, changes in the lifestyle of individuals with unhealthy habits have been observed. The consequence of such habits is a growing number of cases of chronic degenerative diseases, and those that stand out are cardiovascular diseases. However, there are few studies on the frequency and consequences of the disorders caused by these diseases. The lifestyle directly influences cardiovascular health, so encouraging young people to eat healthy habits with physical activity practices, food education and non-use of tobacco can prevent the emergence of these diseases. Objective: To characterize hypertensive patients treated at a polyclinic regarding gender, age and time of diagnosis Method: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in a University Polyclinic in the city of São Paulo, located in the south zone. Information was collected on gender, age, Body Mass Index, office blood pressure, knowledge about the disease and individual lifestyle. Results: Participants were 36 patients, of which 76.77% were female and 23.23% were hypertensive in treatment. Age ranged from 39 to 49 years, 60% of them diagnosed between 1 and 5 years, and there was high knowledge about hypertension, changes in eating habits and lifestyle. Conclusion: The prevalence of female patients with arterial hypertension was observed. The sample studied represents a group of the population with good knowledge about the disease, understanding the need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The Effect of Rural Road Access on Rural Households Livelihood Improvement: Evidence from Selected Weredas in Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia
Authors: Ewnetu Abeje
Published: September 2023

The development of appropriate road infrastructure is fundamental to economic growth and poverty reduction. Rural roads, especially, are especially important for economic development in rural areas. Against this background, this study aims at investigating the effect of rural road access on rural households’ livelihood improvement. Concerning the methodology, mixed research approach involving descriptive and explanatory designs was used. This study compares (using propensity score matching techniques) households located in Keble’s with road access to suitable controls. The descriptive analysis reveals that rural roads provide enhanced access to markets for inputs such as fertilizers and improved seeds, enable households to sell their produce to nearby markets, and allow to achieve additional non-farm employment opportunities, leading to a rise in income and reduce poverty. The results from econometrics analysis shows that road access positively and significantly improved the livelihood of households as measured by the livelihoods asset capital index. On the basis of their propensity score, the mean difference in the livelihood assets index between households located in Keble’s with road access and non-accessible household’s ranges up to 6% after matching. The results also indicated that women who are employed during road construction, on average, have 25% to 37% higher empowerment level than those who are not employed. This strengthens the argument for making efforts towards gender mainstreaming during rural road construction and greater engagement of women in road planning and implementation.

Published: September 2023

Addis Ababa city administration is characterised poorly in the implementation of good governance. The main objective of the study was to assess the implementation of good governance while rendering services to the citizens. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative approaches. SPSS statistic was used for the descriptive analysis. The findings indicate favourable results in meeting the needs of citizens. Although the implementation process has brought tangible results, it is not free from some challenges. Limitations in providing services while balanced interests in a timely, appropriate, and responsive manner; inefficiency and ineffectiveness; limitations in information distribution; and lack of equal opportunities in the decision-making process were the challenges. In conclusion, both achievements and failures were observed. At last, understanding customers’ expectations in service provisions; systematizing customers’ feedback; and continuous awareness creation to the staff are the recommendations identified for future development.

The main objective of this study was to assess the magnitude and causes of hazardous child labor in Addis Ababa. To address this objective, a mixed method research design that tilts towards quantitative approach was employed. The result revealed that about 90% of child laborers in Addis Ababa are working in hazardous working conditions, which is much higher than the Sub Saharan Africa average and ILO and CSA estimates for Addis Ababa. This affects physical and mental health and moral development of the children. Considerable proportions of child laborers are working in unhealthy environment mainly in areas exposed to dust, smoke, and fume; extreme cold and heat; loud noise or vibration as well as physical, psychological, and sexual abuses because of their work. Children work or engage in child labor f or a variety of reasons. Accordingly, the most important factors behind child labor among children were found to be poverty, children’s economic interest, and rural-urban migration. Therefore, the federal and regional governments are required to collaborate to reduce poverty induced child migration from regional states to Addis Ababa. That means there is a need to have poverty reduction strategies that reduce general poverty at the source and increase incomes and hence are likely to have a positive effect on reducing child labor. Every poverty reduction strategy needs to take child labor into account.
Inclusiveness of Wage Employment and Determinants of Wage Incomes in Ethiopia

Published: September 2023

Unemployment is one of the critical problems of developing countries, including Ethiopia. Agriculture is not only the mainstay of the economy of Ethiopia, but it is also a major contributor of employment opportunities for its citizens. The government of Ethiopia promotes commercialization of the agricultural sector through large-scale farming investment by the private sector. The article examined inclusiveness of large-scale farming and factors that determine wage incomes earned by plantation workers in Ethiopia. Both primary and secondary data were generated from households, and large-scale farming companies. Data were subjected to a modified Mincer's earnings function to see which group of the society benefited from wage employment. Inclusiveness in plantation agriculture in the form of wage employment was very limited to the local indigenous population in Gambella and Benshangul Gumuz regional states due to lack of prior farming experiences of the workers.  Men and those with technical trainings received better incomes from wage employment. Regional variation in wage rates was observed among Oromia, Gambela and Benshangul Gumuz regional states due to harsh working environment and low availability of workforce. Inclusion of the local people in wage employment should receive attention by owners and the government, which will otherwise affect smooth and sustainable operation of the farms. Further, it calls for an intervention to enhance the technical skills of workers and improve women’s participation and earnings in plantation agriculture.

Socio-cultural Considerations in Environmental Policy Formulation and Implementation in Ethiopia
Authors: Doda Zerihun
Published: September 2023

The idea of policies for holistic social development, healthy communities, and resilient socio-cultural institutions is one of the core issues of literature on sustainable society, development and environment. The nexus between national economic policies, resilient communities, and development is best understood in the context of policies for social development, particularly in terms of building resilient socio-cultural institutions, protecting communities, and ensuring useful traditional knowledge systems. Some research on environment and society in Ethiopia generally focus on policy failures and institutional dysfunctions leading to natural resource degradation and environmental exploitation. Others address increasingly insecure livelihood and political instability as a manifestation of unsuitable society, environment, and development. Further, policy instruments pertaining to environment, and the impact assessments are often analyzed in light of the legal perspective. This study aimed at understanding how existing environmental policy instruments define and represent socio-cultural matters as part of the environment policy and impact assessment frameworks of the country. The study adopted a qualitative method approach through analyzing existing policy documents and interviewing relevant actors. The study found out that while existing instruments do indeed address socio-cultural issues, the main problem lies in adequacy of representation of socio-cultural issues, particularly cultural resources (notably heritages, identities, belief systems social institutions, etc.). More so, the problem lies in the disturbing state of realizing the policy provisions for socio-cultural issues. Policy formulators and implementers’ general level of socio-culturally sensitive awareness, attitude and commitment is a key gap.

Published: September 2023

Este artigo é resultante da pesquisa que se dedicou a analisar a Norma Operacional Básica de Recursos Humanos do Sistema Único de Assistência Social – NOB-RH/SUAS. Este texto foi elaborado com base em um estudo qualitativo, de natureza documental que se debruçou analisar a NOB-RH/SUAS em seu teor, localizando em seu conteúdo as orientações que consolidam a gestão do trabalho no SUAS. A formulação de uma legislação como a NOB-RH tem contribuído sobremaneira para orientações técnicas de estruturação das condições laborais para a política de assistência social brasileira. Ainda que com as limitações próprias de uma normativa, que não se caracteriza como lei, a NOB-RH/SUAS é um marco significativo e tem contribuído para os avanços conquistados nos últimos anos - de 2006 em diante -, no âmbito da política de assistência social e por consequência reflete nas condições de trabalho no SUAS.

Este artigo apresenta o recorte de uma pesquisa de mestrado realizada em uma escola com elevados índices de aprendizagem nas avaliações externas. O objetivo geral foi compreender os fatores que potencializam os indicadores educacionais de uma Escola Estadual de Educação Profissional (EEEP), bem como entender a disparidade entre os resultados externos e internos, mediante três eixos teóricos: currículo, prática docente e avaliação. O presente trabalho busca apresentar uma análise acerca do currículo e dos resultados apresentados nas avaliações externas e internas pelos estudantes, em especial do componente curricular de Matemática, e as percepções dos docentes da disciplina sobre o fenômeno. As discussões estão pautadas nos estudos de Arroyo, Lopes, Candau, Scocuglia, D’Ambrosio, dentre outros, e lança mão dos dados obtidos a partir de entrevistas realizadas com três professores de Matemática da instituição de ensino. O estudo revelou que a escola possui um planejamento bem estruturado, um acompanhamento sistematizado da aprendizagem dos alunos e alguns desafios relacionados à concepção de currículo escolar por parte dos professores, que se encontra voltada, especialmente, à seleção de conteúdos; e a não participação de alunos, comunidade escolar e não escolar na construção do currículo escolar da disciplina de Matemática.
