Ocorrências do corpo de bombeiros para combate a incêndios em vegetação no município de Vassouras-RJ: análise estatística da série histórica 2015-2021
Authors: Mota Marcos Felipe Almeida , Araújo Marco Antônio Pereira , Lemos Bruno Morais , Carvalho Carlos Vitor de Alencar
Published: January 2023

Analisando a história do município de Vassouras-RJ, pode-se observar que as principais fatos geradores de incêndios em vegetação são as práticas de queimadas para limpeza do terreno rural. Esta atividade provoca até mesmo a continuidade da destruição equivocada da floresta após o ciclo do café, na região do Vale do Paraíba. Um dos principais parâmetros analisados nos últimos anos para monitorar o comportamento da sociedade é a comparação estatística do número de incêndios florestais registrados pelo corpo de bombeiros local. Para tanto, foi escolhida uma série histórica de 2015 a 2021 para testar se as políticas públicas são eficazes na redução da propagação de queimadas em todo o município. Os dados dos relatórios anuais do Corpo de Bombeiros Militar do Estado do Rio de Janeiro foram utilizados para a digitação dos formulários de dados, que foram inseridos no programa de análise estatística Minitab®. Olhando para as comparações nos níveis de significância apropriados, uma conclusão alarmante pode ser tirada: não foram observadas diferenças significativas na frequência média mensal de incêndios florestais entre os anos.

Digital Human Resources Management HUB
Authors: Martins Dora
Published: January 2023

The focus of this empirical study is to explore the importance of creating a HUB specialized in digital human resources management (HRM). Digital Hubs are collaborative networks that aim to stimulate the adoption of advanced digital technologies that promote interaction between different agents for emerging ideas, tools, and for digital networking. Furthermore, a HUB could provide an overview of digital skills and learning strategies to improve these skills to work in a digital society. The main objective of this research is to explore the role of HRH practitioners as agents of creating, acquiring and diffusing knowledge about digital HRM issues. Thus, this study intends to know several stakeholders’ opinions about the importance of the creation of a collaborative platform to manage sourcing, information, and knowledge. It uses qualitative analysis  to collect information based on an exploratory study using a focus group with a group of stakeholders (HRM professors, students, and practitioners) with an interest in the topic, through a collective semi-structured interview. The results show that it is important to create a digital HUB to enhance the use of advanced technology in the development of HRM and to facilitate the digital transformation of the different HRM stakeholders. As main activities to develop, the ones identified are: (1) to create a digital room to improve the learning of HRM students related with tools such as chatbots and avatars; (2) to do regular HRM talks to promote the sharing of new knowledge regarding digital innovations; (3) to define digital HRM working groups to create new knowledge; (4) to develop HRM entrepreneurship projects as well as (5) research projects related to digital issues; and (6) to share a digital HRM Library. We conclude by reflecting the importance of HRM digital transformation and also encourage higher education institutions to become shared and open digital learning spaces. The conclusion provides suggestions for opportunities for future research.

Thokaapiyam and Nambiaga Porul in a Comparative Theoretical Approach
Authors: P Megala , G Jayasree
Published: January 2023

Ancient Tamil language is rich in grammar. Grammar is obtained from literature as oil is obtained from sesame seeds. There are about fifty grammar books in Tamil. These are the five types of grammars such as letter, word, object, word, and group. The five types of grammars are related to each other, such as the word formed by letters, the pattern used to express the meaning of the word, and the pattern used for the method of speaking. Among these, the things that come to represent the meaning of writing, and the things that come to represent the meaning of words, are the one that excels. This study is to investigate how a content can be found similar, expanded, and separate. Grammar is the protocol developed by the scholars according to the Tamil tradition to regulate the visual language of this case. The text “Nambiyaga Porul” is believed to have been composed by Nambiar in the 12th century BC. It was composed by adapting the grammar of the Tolkapiyam. The text expands the ideas that need to be expanded and summarizes what needs to be said. This book has five parts. Total there are 252 chapters such as 116 in Agam, 54 in Kalavu, 29 in Varaivu, 10 in Karpiyal, and 43 in Olibiyal. The text also explains Thirukkovaiyar's definition about grammar. 'Grammar is the norm for literature and many attempts were done to find the changes taking place in grammar. The first book in these processes was Tanjaivanan’s “Kovai’. Tradition prevails in the society as rules, virtues, restrictions and structures. Thus, Nambi named the book as “Agaporul Vilakkam”. Later, it was given as “Nambiyaga Porul” with his name. The aim of this article is to know the similar, extensive, doubt-dispelling elements that can be found in Tolkappiyam's epistemology and in the epistemology of Nambiyaga Porul.

After 19th century Tamil literature has gone through many dimensions. Advent of print media, focus on language education and the establishment of new educational institutions are the reason for the development of many language based grammatical texts. The newly added grammatical elements are recorded in the grammar texts. Applied Tamil grammar texts explains the syllable, series and words based on grammar books. However, the new modern language theory records the changes that have appeared in the language system and highlights the language and grammar in the theory of linguistics. Tamil grammar books explains and defines grammar based on a Tamil text Nannul. Types of words are explained in the linguistic point of view by adapting the etymology mentioned in the Nannul. It also explains the new adjectives and adverbs and records the newly developed grammatical elements which are used in modern language. Word classification is divided into three levels. They are, classification based on alphabetic, classification based on case of words and classification based on grammatical usage. Contemporary Tamil tradition examines some of the techniques adopted by Tamil grammarians to define the word. Present Tamil grammarians distinguishes nouns and verbs on the basis of verb or on the basis of object. People also began approaching Tamil Grammar based on English grammar because of the abundance usage of English language. Tamil grammar text ‘Nalla Nool Eluthavaenduma’ explains grammar in a very simple way and it is considered to be the best grammar manual. Tamil grammar text explores the structure of Tamil language. Lexical grammar is explained in terms of linguistics. The four types of words such as noun, verb, interjection and adjective examine the changes that occurred in the language.

An Innovative and Secure Platform for Leveraging the Blockchain Approach for Online Exams
Authors: Manawar Albert
Published: January 2023

Numerous educational establishments now use the online platform to conduct tests, particularly for students at the secondary and tertiary levels. Candidates are given a username and password by the most popular online test program, and they then log in to the designated page to answer the questions. However, there are numerous flaws in this system, and cheating on the test can be done by misusing the password. This demonstrates the significance of implementing a secure system to avoid this issue. A blockchain framework that safeguards the online examination system is presented in this paper. An educational data-connecting data management system has been secured using the proposed framework. Without the need for a copy from the central servers, institutions can simply compile their data history. Data security is improved and any potential for cheating between users or third-party institutions that access applications and services is eliminated by the proposed blockchain framework. This study provides a secure framework for conducting and evaluating subject tests to guarantee consistency between students and servers and secure questionnaire delivery from servers.
Summary and Prospective on the dietary reconstruction of Neolithic people in Korea based on stable isotope approach
Authors:   The Korean Neolithic Society, Choy Kyungcheol
Published: January 2023

Although the question of the subsistence strategies in the Neolithic period is a central topic in Korean archaeology, the changes in subsistence activities have been investigated on the basis of preserved fauna and floral remains. Most previous studies on subsistence patterns have focused on the quantitative analysis of floral and fauna remains preserved in the shell middens. In contrast to traditional methods such as quantitative analysis of floral and fauna remains, stable isotope analysis provides a direct measurement of past human diets. This method provides information about whether individuals derived the protein in their diet from plant or animal sources.
Until now, stable isotopic results of humans from Neolithic period (Ando, Janghang, Daepo, Tongsamdong humans) revealed that the Neolithic people were mainly dependent on marine food resources as hunter-gatherers. Based on the stable isotope data, we can propose that marine resource exploitation was the main subsistence strategy in the Neolithic period. However, there is also a regional difference in stable isotope values between west (Konamri human) and east-south coast. This indicates that there might be a possibility to have regional difference in subsistence strategies during Neolithic period.
MOBILIDADE ATIVA: UMA POSSIBILIDADE DE MOBILIDADE URBANA
Authors: ROBERTO DA SILVA JOSÉ
Published: January 2023

We live in a period of intense displacement of people and objects, for the most varied reasons, mainly social and/or economic, which can be carried out on foot or by means of motorized vehicles or not. The impression is that everything seems to have more movement. Cities are spaces that serve as a stage for constant transformations and present marks of history, reflecting in a perceptible and visible way the socio-spatial inequality that existed and exists, which represents the process of capitalist urbanization. However, we cannot forget that the population needs to enjoy the qualities of urban life, and, for that, urban mobility is an essential component for the existence of a more democratic city. Therefore, it is necessary to think about urban planning, also observing the problems generated by the displacement of people in the territory. One possible solution is active mobility.

Es común que los jueces nos encontremos en situaciones donde existen lagunas normativas, entendiéndose estas como situaciones no contempladas con prolijidad en nuestro ordenamiento legal; en efecto, el tema que en esta oportunidad presentamos versa sobre un aspecto al que el Código Civil no le brinda una debida conceptualización, y, por tanto, obliga a que los jueces realicen una interpretación —muchas veces— sesgada de lo que el legislador quiso dar a entender. En ese sentido, en este análisis normativo, existen diversas interpretaciones que dentro de la judicatura le damos al «estudio exitoso», lo que conlleva que la justicia no sea predecible de manera uniforme a nivel nacional. Siendo así, este estudio busca dar luces de interpretación para la judicatura, base de antecedentes para futuras investigaciones y cultura jurídica para los abogados, estudiantes de derecho y público en general.

FEAR AND HATE IN VASYLKOV: UPRISING OF THE CHERNIGOV REGIMENT THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE HISTORY OF EMOTIONS
Authors: Belousov M.S. , Lebenkova T.V.
Published: January 2023

The proposed article discusses the story of the uprising of the Chernigov regiment through the prism of the history of emotions. The authors show how S.I. Muravyov-Apostol and M.P. Bestuzhev-Ryumin tried to influence the feelings and experiences of the soldiers, dressing the revolutionary program and the call to rebellion in the form of a traditional religious document, the fate of voicing which fell to the lot of regimental priest D.F. Keyser. Subsequently, speaking about this fleeting participation in the rebellion, he presented to the members of the Holy Synod an apocalyptic picture of the experiences that gripped him. In this system of fears, three main emotional planes can be distinguished. The first is the fear of reprisals from the legitimate authorities after reading the anti-government catechism; the second is anxiety in connection with the hypothetically possible punishment on the part of the rebels for refusing to obey; and the third is concerned with the future of relatives and friends. The emotional context of soldiers' perception of D.F. Keyser's speech, on the one hand, and the reaction of the clergyman himself to what happened, on the other hand, present an interesting case related to the problem of the role and significance of Orthodoxy in the realities of a remote Russian province.
PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS OF STATE MINING PLANTS OF THE ZLATOUST MINING DISTRICT OF THE UFA PROVINCE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20 CENTURY
Authors: Latypov B.N.
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to a relatively little-studied aspect of the history of the level of profitability of state mining plants of the Zlatoust mining district of the Ufa province at the beginning of the 20 century. The profitability and unprofitability indicators of the Artinsky, Zlatoust, Kusinsky and Satka plants are shown. An attempt is made in the present study to reveal the economic situation and to show profitability of state mining plants of the Zlatoust mining district between 1909-1911. The analysis of reports reveals the profitability of plants of the Zlatoust mining district between 1910-1911 and the losses of state mining plants of Urals in 1903, and between 1905-1910. Some of the important properties of unprofitability of state mining plants at the beginning of the 20 century are listed. Significant influence to unprofitability of plants were provided by absence of railway networks, lack of cheap fuel and regularity in plant activity, far distance from sales markets, discrepancy between workshop and overhead costs of plants productivity, equipment obsolescence, high percentage of defective products, and also to a greater extent inefficient management of state mining plants. The profitability of state plants in the Zlatoust mining district were achieved mainly by the production of cast iron, steel and weapons.

From sherds to potters
Authors: Pioffet Hélène , Ard Vincent
Published: January 2023

The British Neolithic transition, occurring around 4000 BC, at least one millennium after the continental part of Northwest Europe, is still subject to important debate these days. Various studies suggest that the Neolithic start involved farming immigrants from various parts of the Continent. However, ceramics of the Early Neolithic of Britain became increasingly distinct from their Continental roots, particularly in the Southwest and Southeast of England. We recently completed two important projects, one on Early Neolithic British and Irish pottery and the other on Peterborough Ware, integrating a new way of considering these early productions through a technological approach and the observation of various steps of the chaîne opératoire. This paper is the opportunity to present preliminary results which shed a new light on the evolution of pottery wares during the fourth millennium BC in Southern Britain. It specifically highlights strong connections between Early Neolithic and Middle Neolithic pottery, in terms of style, but above in terms of manufacturing techniques.

PREVENTION OF CHILD MARRIAGE IN INDONESIA BASED ON SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION
Authors: Suadi Amran , Candra Mardi
Published: January 2023

This paper seeks to investigate the increasing phenomena of child marriage in Indonesia, which necessitates a comprehensive method encompassing all interconnected stakeholders to avoid child marriage. This study aims to examine the extent of the Court’s efforts to prevent child marriage and the concept of preventing child marriage through system interconnection. This study is normative research that uses a statutory and a conceptual approach. According to the findings of this study, the Religious Courts’ efforts to prevent child marriage have focused on restricting the issuance of dispensation permissions. When awarding a marriage dispensation permit, the Court must ensure that it adheres to the guiding principles of child protection. The system interconnection-based child marriage prevention mentioned in this study refers to a strategy used by the Court to prevent child marriage that involves participation from other institutions. This new framework makes non-judicial agencies external participants in executing and supervising the Court’s competence in providing dispensation permits for marriage.
THE QURANIC STUDY IN AL-JAHIZ’S BOOK KITĀB AL-BAYĀN WA AL-TABYĪN AS A MODEL
Authors: Al-Hawawsheh Sayel H. , Meqdad Saad Abd Allah , Abu-Rahme Mohammad O. , Al-Shamali Nidal
Published: January 2023

Despite the numerous studies conducted on Al-Jahiẓ’s approach in studying the Noble Qur’an, his approach has never been fully apprehended. This research aims to gather the parts of his book “Al-Bayan wa Al-Tabyin” concerned with the exegesis of the Noble Qur’an or its inimitability; to give a good perception of Al-Jahiẓ’s approach. The research attempts to explore his opinions regarding the Noble Qur’an, in the mentioned book, whether they are concerned with exegesis or rhetorical inimitability, then analyzing them, while comparing them to classic and modern opinions. Al-Jahiẓ limited his study of the Noble Qur’an to exegesis and rhetorical inimitability, and often referred to works of other scholars, only embracing the opinions of those who conformed with his Mu’tazilite school, which depends on interpretation, reason and delving beyond the clear meanings of words. They set certain standards for themselves and produced an affected interpretation for the Noble Qur’an according to these standards, thus attributing other meaning to the verses than they would normally imply. As for the rhetorical inimitability, he gave special importance to the ‘the suitability of the word to the meaning’, although his study of this aspect was limited to emphasis alone.

One hundred twelve patients (80%) had mitral valve surgery, 24 patients (17.1%) had atrial septal defect repair, and four patients (2.9%) had myxoma excision. Their mean age was 41.47± 11.71 years, and 60% were females (n= 84).

Results: Groin complications occurred in 14 patients (10%); seroma developed in 11 patients (7.9%), two had femoral artery hematoma (1.4%), and 1 (0.7%) patient had femoral arterial dissection, which was primarily repaired. There were no differences in the preoperative data between patients with and without groin complications. Patients with groin complications had non-significantly longer cardiopulmonary bypass time (155± 43.6 vs. 129.8± 35.7 min, P= 0.2) and longer hospital stay (13±3.8 vs. 11.6±4.3 days, P= 0.2)

Conclusions: Groin complications are relatively uncommon in minimally invasive procedures and are usually simple to manage.

Published: January 2023

Background: Even though tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a frequent cardiac valve disorder, and tricuspid valve annuloplasty (TVA) has been evolved to manage TR for more than 50 years, there is still a substantial controversy regarding the best durable method for TVA. We reported our midterm (3 years) outcomes of TVA using autologous pericardial (AP) band comparing it with DeVega annuloplasty for the management of functional TR.

Methods: Between January 2017 and November 2018, about 175 cases with moderate or more TR underwent TVA as a part of primary left-sided valve replacement surgery. Autologous pericardial (AP) TVA was performed in 100 patients, and DeVega TVA in 75 patients.

Results: Both groups are comparable as regards preoperative characteristics. Immediate postoperatively, regarding NYHA class, degree of TR, ejection fraction, and pulmonary artery systolic pressure, there was a marked improvement within the 2 groups compared to the preoperative values, without a significant difference between both groups. 94% of patients completed the follow-up period. In hospital death was 2% in the AP group, and 1% in the DeVega group. The AP group showed a marked improvement in the mean degree of TR at the same follow-up period compared to the DeVega group, 12% patients of the AP group and 21% patients of the De Vega group had 3+ or 4+ TR at 3 years postoperative follow up. There was a marked improvement in the Diastolic tricuspid annuloplasty diameter in the AP group compared to the DeVega group. There were 6.3% late deaths in our study.

Conclusion:  TVA with an AP was more durable than the DeVega in avoiding postoperative TR progression on the midterm results.

Published: January 2023

Background: Redo mitral valve replacement (redo-MVR) remains a challenge despite advances in surgical techniques. Little is known about the outcomes of redo-MVR in patients with rheumatic heart disease. We aimed To evaluate the in-hospital outcomes and associated risk factors for mortality and morbidity after re-operative mitral valve replacement in patients with initial rheumatic heart disease.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 214 patients, 96 males (44.9%) and 118 females (55.1%), who underwent redo-MVR between January 2015 and December 2020. The mean age was 41.87±11.7 years. European Heart Surgery Risk Assessment System II (EuroSCORE II), Age, Creatinine, Ejection Fraction (ACEF) scores were used for risk stratification. The primary endpoints were in-hospital mortality, major morbidity (renal failure, prolonged ventilation, stroke, reoperation, or deep sternal wound infection), and the composite outcome of mortality and/or morbidity).

Results: Major morbidities occurred in 31.8% of patients, and the in-hospital mortality rate was 19.6%. Predictors of mortality were New York Heart Association class (NYHA) III/IV (OR: 5.4; p˂ 0.001), cardiogenic shock (OR: 13.74, p˂0.001), low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (OR: 4.36; p= 0.01), and perioperative intra-aortic balloon pump (OR: 6.79; p= 0.01). The significant predictors of mortality and/or major morbidity were NYHA III/IV (OR: 2.39; p˂0.001), low LVEF (OR: 4.44; p= 0.001), active endocarditis (OR: 2.4; p=0.04), and perioperative IABP (OR: 3.88; p= 0.045). EuroSCORE II had better accuracy than the ACEF score to predict adverse outcomes (AUC: 0.70 [95% CI: 0.63-0.78] versus 0.58 [95% CI: 0.50-0.66], p= 0.01) .

Conclusion: Advanced NYHA class and low LVEF could be associated with poor outcomes after redo-MVR in patients with primary surgery for rheumatic mitral valve disease. EuroSCORE II is a helpful tool for risk stratification during redo-MVR.
The performance of the supra-annular Top-Hat aortic valves compared to the standard Carbomedics valves
Authors: Fouly Mohamed , Khairy Tarek
Published: January 2023

Background: The CarboMedics Top-Hat aortic valve prosthesis was designed to be implanted in a supra-annular position. This study aimed to compare the hemodynamic performance of the Top-Hat aortic prostheses versus the standard CarboMedics aortic valve prostheses.

Methods: The study included 98 patients who had aortic valve replacement and were divided into two groups. Group A included 60 patients who had standard aortic valve prostheses, and Group B included 38 patients who had the Top-Hat aortic prostheses. The study endpoints were hospital outcomes, the effective orifice area, and the pressure gradient during a one-year follow-up.

Results: There was no significant difference in the baseline echocardiographic data and risk factors between the groups. The patients who had Top-Hat aortic prosthesis were younger, with a mean age of 47.5 (44-55) years, and those who had the standard prosthesis were 53.5 (48-56) years old (P= 0.02). The cardiopulmonary bypass time was significantly less in the Top-Hat prosthesis group with an average of 78 min (75- 81) compared to 88 min (84- 95) in the other group (P ˂0.001). The effective orifice surface area was significantly larger in the group with Top-Hat prosthesis; 0.9 mm/m2 (0.88- 0.92) compared to 0.84 mm/m 2 (0.79- 0.87) for the standard aortic valve prosthesis group (P ˂0.001). The pressure gradient over the aortic valve decreased significantly postoperatively (coefficient -1.98 (-2.21- -1.75); P˂0.001). Patients with Top-Hat valves had significantly lower gradient (coefficient: -4.22 (-6.61- -1.82); P= 0.001), while age had no effect on the pressure gradient (coefficient: 0.1 ( -0.07- 0.27); P= 0.25).

Conclusion: The Top-Hat CarboMedics prostheses could be superior to the standard CarboMedics aortic valve prosthesis regarding the effective orifice area and pressure gradient over the valve.

Published: January 2023

Background: The role of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for managing organized empyema is still limited. This study compared VATS versus open decortication in patients with chronic pleural empyema.

Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 58 patients with stage III empyema. Patients were divided into two groups. Group A (n= 30) included patients who had decortication through an open thoracotomy, and Group B (n= 28) included VATS decortication patients. Two patients in the VATS group were converted to the open approach and were excluded from the analysis.

Results: The mean age in Group A was 48.23 ± 8.44 years and 49.79 ± 7.85 years Group B (p= 0.47). There were 16 males (53.3%) in Group A and 15 (63.6%) in Group B (p= 0.99). The operative time was 336.0 ± 67.60 min in Group A and 291.07 ± 56.66 min in Group B (p= 0.01). There was no difference in intraoperative complications between groups. Postoperative hospital stay (p= 0.23) and ICU admission (p= 0.24) did not differ between groups. In Group A, the pain scale was 8 (6- 8), and it was 4 (2- 4) in Group B (p˂ 0.001). No difference was recorded in the postoperative complications between groups.

Conclusion:  The outcomes of VATS in managing stage III empyema are comparable to the open approach. VATS has the advantage of lower postoperative pain. VATS could be an alternative to open decortication in patients with stage III pleural empyema.

Authors: Habib Mahmoud , Torky Mohammad , Abdelwahab Amr , Wahby Ehab
Published: January 2023

Background: Various measures have been used for maintaining adequate cardiac output after valvular heart surgery. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of levosimendan on high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-T after valvular heart surgery.

Methods: This prospective randomized clinical trial included 400 patients. All patients above 18 years who underwent elective cardiac valvular surgery were randomly classified into two equal groups. Group A (n= 200) included patients who received levosimendan during weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass, and Group B (n= 200) included patients who did not receive levosimendan.

Results: Cardiopulmonary bypass, cross-clamp, reperfusion times, and use of inotropes were insignificant between groups. Troponin levels on days 0, 1, and 2 showed a significant decrease in Group A (P˂0.001). Postoperative ejection fraction was significantly higher in Group A (66.10 ± 4.41 vs. 46.60 ± 3.98; P˂0.001). Duration of mechanical ventilation (4.70± 1.16 vs. 10.70± 0.82; P˂ 0.001), intensive care (1.90 ± 0.57 vs. 5.90 ± 1.29; P˂0.001), and hospital stay (6.90 ± 1.91 vs. 13.40 ± 3.10; P˂0.001) were significantly lower in Group A.

Conclusions: Levosimendan could have cardioprotective effects, resulting in a significant reduction of postoperative high sensitivity cardiac troponin-T release after valvular heart surgery. It could be associated with improved left ventricular ejection fraction, short duration of mechanical ventilation, ICU, and hospital stay.
