Authors: Nakonierczjy Flavio , Araujo Kleberson Conrado de
Published: April 2024

A utilização de vacinas reprodutivas em bovinos contribui para a redução de perdas reprodutivas, melhoria da produtividade e rentabilidade na pecuária. Por isso, é fundamental que produtores, veterinários e pesquisadores tenham conhecimento sobre os principais tipos de vacinas reprodutivas disponíveis no mercado, bem como sobre as medidas de controle sanitário que devem ser adotadas para garantir a eficácia da vacinação. Dentro desta perspectiva, a pesquisa visa responder a seguinte problemática: Como a utilização de vacinas reprodutivas pode contribuir para a melhoria da taxa de prenhez em bovinos, e quais são as principais medidas de controle sanitário que devem ser adotadas para garantir a eficácia da vacinação e a prevenção de doenças reprodutivas nos rebanhos? O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi analisar a importância da vacinação reprodutiva em bovinos para melhoria da taxa de prenhez. Esta pesquisa consistiu em uma análise documental sobre a prática de vacinação reprodutiva no qual se analisou três lotes, sendo um sem vacinação reprodutiva, juntamente com uma revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, com o objetivo de identificar as principais doenças reprodutivas que afetam os bovinos e que podem ser prevenidas ou controladas por meio da vacinação reprodutiva. Os resultados positivos observados nos lotes que receberam vacinação reprodutiva confirmam sua eficácia em melhorar a taxa de prenhez. Essa prática contribui para a saúde, produtividade e sustentabilidade dos rebanhos bovinos, reforçando sua importância como parte integrante de um programa abrangente de manejo sanitário e reprodutivo.

Published: April 2024

A relevância dos tributos se destaca uma vez que constituem a maior fonte de receita do erário público e que não há cidadão que não esteja sujeito ao seu pagamento ao viver em sociedade. Dentre os diversos tributos previstos no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro está o ITBI - Imposto de Transmissão de Bens e Imóveis. Este trabalho tem por objetivo trazer um estudo detalhado sobre as regras de instituição e competência para implementação da cobrança deste imposto, assim como uma análise de aspectos relevantes, tais como a instituição de alíquotas com base no valor venal do bem ou imóvel, os critérios de isenção ou alíquotas diferenciadas, a evolução histórica dos meios de cobrança, os aspectos materiais, temporais, espaciais, pessoais e quantitativos a serem considerados para cobrança deste imposto, dentre outros. Para fundamentação da presente pesquisa, utilizou-se da pesquisa bibliográfica, por meio do levantamento ordenado de coleta de dados, a partir de jurisprudência, doutrina, artigos e publicações, as quais abordassem o tema não só a partir da perspectiva jurídica, mas também social e econômica, de forma que se chegasse a uma análise sistemática sobre o tema.

Global assessment of climatic responses to the ozone-vegetation interactions
Authors: Zhou Xinyi , Yue Xu , Tian Chenguang , Lu Xiaofei
Published: April 2024

Abstract. The coupling between surface ozone (O3) and vegetation significantly influences regional to global climate. O3 uptake by plant stomata inhibits photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance, impacting evapotranspiration through land surface ecosystems. Using the climate-vegetation-chemistry coupled ModelE2-YIBs model, we assess the global climatic responses to O3-vegetation interactions during boreal summer of 2010s (2005–2014). High O3 pollution reduces stomatal conductance, resulting in the warmer and drier conditions worldwide. The most significant responses are found in the eastern U.S. and eastern China, where local latent heat flux decreases by -8.17 % and -9.48 %, respectively. Consequently, surface air temperature rises by +0.33 °C and +0.56 °C, and sensible heat flux rises by +16.54 % and +25.46 % in the two hotspot regions. The O3-vegetation interaction also affects atmospheric pollutants. Surface O3 concentrations increase by +1.26 ppbv in eastern China and +0.98 ppbv in eastern U.S. due to the O3-induced inhibition of stomatal uptake. With reduced atmospheric stability following the warmer climate, increased cloudiness but decreased relative humidity jointly reduce aerosol optical depth (AOD) over eastern China. This study suggests that vegetation feedback should be considered for a more accurate assessment of climatic perturbations caused by tropospheric O3.
A plant-wax δD record of palaeohydrology over the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary

Published: April 2024

Alongside the mass extinction, the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary interval experienced major climate perturbations due to the Chicxulub meteorite impact and Deccan Trap volcanism. The volcanism and release of climate modifying gases likely had a drastic effect on global climate, though hypotheses of this change remain largely untested.Recent work applied the lipid biomarker palaeotemperature proxy MBT'5me to two highly chronologically constrained lignites from the Western Interior, USA (palaeolatitudes 45–51°N). This reconstruction showed that mean annual air temperatures increased by 3°C during the last ~100 ka of the Cretaceous, likely driven by Deccan volcanism and long-term release of organic carbon into the atmosphere. A transient cooling event of up to 5°C is superimposed on to the longer-term warming trend, beginning ~35 ka before the K–Pg boundary. This cooling coincided with the second (Poladpur) eruptive phase of Deccan volcanism, which correlates with the modelled climatic cooling predicted by the release of associated aerosolised SO2 emissions.To gain a more holistic understanding of the end-Cretaceous climate system, here we use the hydrogen-isotope composition of plant-wax from the same lignites to reconstruct palaeohydrology. Determining the link between volcanism-induced temperature change and hydrology prior to the Chicxulub impact will provide a framework for understanding post-impact hydrological changes.This work presents the first opportunity to evaluate palaeohydrology at a millennial scale in the Cretaceous, alongside temperature and carbon-cycling. Further, the excellent chronological constraints allow a unique insight into the relative timing of different climatic processes and major climate perturbations in the lead-up to and across the K–Pg boundary.
Brazilian Indigenous as an Uneven Identity
Authors: Lupati Federica
Published: April 2024

Orality has always been the main channel through which culture and knowledge has passed onto generations of Indigenous peoples in Brazil. Yet, today, the need to resist cultural assimilation or, even worse, annihilation, has led to the creation of new, written materials where Indigenous people can speak for themselves by relating their history, defending their identity, and their cultural territory. Among these, Brazilian geographer, poet, and activist Márcia Wayna Kambeba of the Omágua/Kambeba people uses literature as a space where decolonial thought and traditional knowledge meet to build a philosophical, political, and poetic view on indigenous identity in general and on the experience of Indigenous women in particular. Drawing from previous studies on Brazilian Indigenous literature, decolonial theory, and decolonial feminism, this paper discusses Kambeba’s works and underpins the relevance and need to examine the specificity of the experience of Brazilian Indigenous women writers as fundamental participants in the periphery of the world-literature to discuss the postcolonial configurations of identities in present-day Brazilian society.

Published: April 2024

Este estudo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que analisou 87 resumos de artigos publicados na Plataforma SciELO, entre os anos de 2010 e 2023. A pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa, fundamentada em Amado (2014), configurou-se como estudo de caráter bibliográfico do tipo estado do conhecimento. Objetivou-se investigar o desenvolvimento da formação continuada intercultural de professores/as, a partir da identificação das categorias (étnico-racial, gênero, língua, religião, deficiência, geração e outros), fundantes para a conceitualização de uma educação intercultural, tal qual defendida por Candau (2011) e Fleuri (2022). Pela análise dos dados, sugere-se maior aprofundamento conceitual acerca das categorias fundantes na perspectiva intercultural, tendo em vista a elaboração de políticas públicas para a formação inicial e continuada de professores/as, não somente no Brasil, mas também em toda a América Latina, permeada pelo encontro/desencontro/reconhecimento das “verdades” contadas e ensinadas ao longo da história, as quais devem ser questionadas e reescritas em conjunto com aqueles que por tanto tempo foram silenciados.

Durante a produção de etanol de cana-de-açúcar é gerado como subproduto, a vinhaça, que pode trazer danos quando aplicada no solo de maneira inconsequente. Para o tratamento da vinhaça se destaca como uma boa opção, pois além de melhorar a qualidade do da deste efluente agroindustrial ainda tem a produção de biogás. A recirculação da vinhaça biodigerida é utilizada para diluição da vinhaça bruta e aproveitamento da alcalinidade. Porém a recirculação do efluente em reatores anaeróbios tratando vinhaça por longos períodos pode acarretar acúmulo de material recalcitrante e a diminuição da produção de metano. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o tratamento da vinhaça de cana-de-açúcar utilizando quatro reatores RAHLF, em série. Foram aplicadas cargas orgânicas volumétricas (COV) no R1 de 14 e 20 g DQOtotal (L d)-1, utilizando a recirculação do efluente com e sem a aplicação da reação de Fenton, respectivamente. Para o sistema composto pelos quatro RAHLF foram observados valores médios de remoção de demanda química de oxigênio total (DQOtotal) de 32, 58 e 52% e produção volumétrica de metano (PVM) de 0,53; 0,43 e 0,50 L CH4 (L d)-1 ,nas Fases I, II e III, respectivamente. A aplicação do processo Fenton no efluente recirculado nas Fases II e III, melhorou a eficiência de remoção de DQOtotal do sistema comparados à fase I.

No Brasil a mais consumida é a hortícula, de coloração vermelha, a qual tem sido alvo de estudos por revelar evidências de diversas propriedades como ação antimicrobianas, antitumorais, anti-inflamatórias, citotóxicas e hepatoprotetoras. Em função disso, foi realizado testes de sensibilidade antimicrobiana no extrato vegetal para detectar um possível potencial de uso no processo fermentativo com o objetivo de um controle natural para obtenção do bioetanol. Após a realização do presente estudo foi possível verificar ação antibacteriana em isolados extraídos do processo industrial, sendo necessária a realização da continuidade dos estudos comprovar essa ação ou excluir totalmente essa possibilidade.
Udział duchowieństwa w walce z okupantem w Gorcach i Beskidach w latach 1939 do 1945
Authors: Marczyński Aleksander
Published: April 2024

Po zakończeniu kampanii wrześniowej 1939 r. duchowieństwo katolickie włączyło się do walki z hitlerowskim okupantem. Niniejszy artykuł odnosi się do obszaru Inspektoratu Armii Państwowej Nowy Sącz, który obejmował obwody (i jednocześnie okręgi konspiracyjne) Nowy Targ, Limanowa, Nowy Sącz i Gorlice. Już pod koniec września uchodźcy zaczęli tłoczyć się pod południową granicę Polski, szukając pomocy w przedostaniu się na Słowację, aby stamtąd przedostać się na Węgry i dalej do Francji. Punktem kontaktowym dla uchodźców stała się plebania w Gorcach i Beskidach. Księża skontaktowali ich z ludźmi, którzy przeprowadzili ich przez granicę i, jeśli konieczny był okres oczekiwania, zapewnili im zakwaterowanie. Od wiosny 1940 r. zorganizowano konspiracyjne komendy wydziałowe i okręgowe. Księża brali udział w charakterze kapelanów polowych, zapewniali łączność i dbali o podsłuch radiowy. Na podstawie otrzymanych wiadomości przygotowywali komunikaty dla prasy podziemnej. Na wielu plebaniach znajdowały się radioodbiorniki, z których korzystali także żołnierze podziemia. Polityka prześladowań i represji stosowana przez nazistów wobec narodu polskiego dotknęła także duchowieństwo katolickie. Wielu księży za swoją działalność konspiracyjną trafiło do więzień i obozów koncentracyjnych, wielu zostało inwalidami, a wielu zmarło. Jednak represje i poniesione ofiary nie zniechęciły ich do pracy podziemnej. Kiedy latem 1943 roku w Gorcach pojawiły się pierwsze oddziały partyzanckie, na plebanii znalazły opiekę dla rannych żołnierzy, żywność i odpoczynek. Latem 1944 r. w każdym oddziale był kapelan polowy, który udzielał pocieszenia duchowego i odprawiał zakwaterowanym Mszę św.. W ten sposób duchowieństwo na terenie okręgu inspekcji nowosądeckiej w istotny sposób przyczyniło się do walki o wyzwolenie Polska. Kilku księży zostało za to nagrodzonych odznaczeniami.
Powiązania rodzinne wewnątrz wspólnoty zakonnej na przykładzie krakowskich bernardynek
Authors: Borkowska Małgorzata
Published: April 2024

Niewiele jest w Polsce klasztorów, których metryki prowadzone były z taką dokładnością, aby wpisywać imiona rodziców każdej zakonnicy: na ponad sto, zaledwie 13 klasztorów. Nawet wtedy, jeśli zakonnice należały do rodzin, które nie pozostawiły po sobie śladu w księgach heraldyki i genealogii, lub nie pozostawiły one żadnego śladu, nie ma raczej szans na ustalenie dokładnego stopnia pokrewieństwa (lub jego braku) pomiędzy dwiema zakonnicami noszącymi to samo nazwisko. Aby więc spróbować, trzeba wybrać klasztor, którego zakonnice w większości należały do bogatej szlachty i których księgi metrykalne są kompletne. Idealnym do tego celu wydaje się klasztor sióstr franciszkanek III Zakonu, założony w Krakowie w roku 1646. Od tej daty do roku 1805 (czyli mniej więcej końca okresu) mieszkało w nim 100 sióstr. Spośród nich 15 było pochodzenia mieszczańskiego; 85 miało nazwiska znane w heraldyce; z nich ponownie 39 pochodziło od rodziców wymienionych w księgach heraldycznych, istnieje więc szansa na bardzo dokładne ustalenie ich więzi rodzinnych. Najłatwiej jest ustalić więzy po stronie miecza. Wśród 100 zakonnic było tylko 71 nazwisk; spośród nich 51 występuje tylko raz, a 20 powtarza się; co oznacza, że 49 zakonnic na 100 miało własne siostry lub kuzynki, ciotki i siostrzenice w tej samej wspólnocie. W trzech przypadkach nazwisko to noszą aż cztery zakonnice; w trzech przypadkach trzy; w czternastu przypadkach dwie. Więzi po stronie kądzieli są często domniemane; jest ich jednak mnóstwo i na 100 zakonnic jest tylko 30, które nie wydają się być (na pewno lub prawdopodobnie) spokrewnione z żadną z pozostałych. Wiele rodzin jest ze sobą powiązanych na wiele sposobów; gdybyśmy mieli więcej danych, prawdopodobnie udałoby się znaleźć znacznie więcej powiązań. Biorąc pod uwagę fakt, że takie więzi były wówczas znacznie bardziej cenione i o wiele lepiej pamiętane niż dzisiaj, wspólnota wydaje się być niemalże kręgiem rodzinnym. Liczba tych więzi jednak z czasem maleje: obejmują one 9/10 gminy przed 1700 r., ale już około 1800 r. jedynie połowę.
Udział duchowieństwa diecezji kieleckiej w rozwoju czytelnictwa i bibliotek parafialnych na przełomie XIX i XX wieku
Authors: Domański Tomasz
Published: April 2024

Poziom edukacji w Królestwie Polskim w drugiej połowie XIX wieku był nadal bardzo niski. Większość ludności stanowili analfabeci (70% w 1897 r., co dawało łącznie 6,6 mln osób). Czynnik ten zdominował inicjatywy i próby podejmowane przez różne grupy społeczne, zmierzające do upowszechnienia oświaty, zwłaszcza na polskiej wsi.Jedną z form walki z analfabetyzmem, w której ważną rolę odegrało duchowieństwo katolickie, było szerzenie zainteresowania czytelnictwem. Ta forma działalności oświatowej pojawiła się w diecezji kieleckiej około lat 80. XIX wieku. Należy stwierdzić, że do rewolucji 1905 r., ze względu na trudną sytuację polityczną i prześladowania duchowieństwa, tylko nieliczni księża zajmowali się akwizycją czasopism i popularyzacją polskiego słowa pisanego. Bardziej sprzyjające warunki dla tego typu działalności nadeszły wraz ze zwrotem politycznym 1905 roku. W ramach ogólnego ożywienia, na organizowanych specjalnie w tym celu konferencjach dekanalnych, księża na ogół omawiali własny udział w rozwijaniu zainteresowania czytelnictwem. W większości wystąpień podkreślano potrzebę popularyzacji prasy obyczajowej i katolickiej jako odpowiedzi na rozwój prasy socjalistycznej. Kwestię tę rozważały także władze diecezji kieleckiej. Stąd niezwykły udział księży w kolportażu czasopism, broszur i książek, który oprócz podnoszenia poziomu intelektualnego ludności polskiej, wynikał z chęci wyeliminowania z rynku niezależnych pism popularnych i socjalistycznych, atakujących pozycję Kościoła katolickiego. Do upowszechnienia czytelnictwa przyczyniły się także inicjatywy zakładania bibliotek parafialnych w diecezji kieleckiej. Próby te rozpoczęły się w latach 70. w parafii Daleszyce, a później w Olkuszu. Prawdziwy rozkwit bibliotek nastąpił podczas rewolucji 1905 roku i w latach następnych. Według zachowanych źródeł w 1913 r. w diecezji kieleckiej istniało 79 bibliotek parafialnych. Była to liczba znacząca i warta odnotowania. Biblioteki parafialne stanowiły też znaczny procent sieci bibliotek znajdujących się na terenie całej diecezji kieleckiej. Oczywiście nie wszystkie z tych bibliotek były bardzo aktywne. Nie wszędzie też cieszyły się zainteresowaniem parafian - zwykle większym na terenach wiejskich. Jednak w dużych miastach istniało wiele alternatywnych placówek oświatowych, a inicjatywy podejmowane przez duchowieństwo nie były czymś wyjątkowym, lecz jednym z wielu. Duża liczba bibliotek borykała się z różnymi problemami, w tym z brakiem odpowiednich pomieszczeń, kontrolami ze strony władz rosyjskich i brakiem szacunku dla książek wśród czytelników. Zarządzanie bibliotekami często pozostawało w rękach osób zaangażowanych w walkę z gazetami propagującymi emancypację wsi spod wpływów kleru.

Artykuł został poświęcony zaprezentowaniu sylwetki Oswalda Balzera. Prof. Balzer należał do najwybitniejszych luminarzy polskiej nauki w zakresie historii prawa, na przełomie XIX i XX w. Swoje życie naukowe i zawodowe związał z dwoma ośrodkami uniwersyteckimi: Uniwersytetem Jagiellońskim i Uniwersytetem Lwowskim. Jego działalność badawcza i dydaktyczna skupiła się jednak głównie wokół lwowskiej uczelni.Działalność Profesora na terenach wschodnich dawnej Rzeczypospolitej odnosiła się głównie do zagadnień naukowych, jednak poprzez naukę był prekursorem patriotyzmu i zamiłowania do ojczyzny. Często wyrażał pogląd, że dzięki nauce człowiek ma styczność kulturą duchową. Wspomniana kultura pojedynczych jednostek składa się na kulturę narodową. Fizycznym wymiarem walki o polskość w zniewolonym narodzie, stało się doprowadzenie przez Balzera do erygowania uniwersyteckiej Katedry historii prawa polskiego, prowadzenie przez niego wykładów we wspomnianej dziedzinie oraz seminarium naukowego. Dzięki jego działalności ówczesna młodzież miała możliwość duchowego i faktycznego przygotowania się do wydarzenia odzyskania niepodległości narodowej w 1918 r.
SUPPORT FOR YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS AS A PRIORITY FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Popa Andrei , Deliu Natalia
Published: April 2024

The development of entrepreneurial interest among young people represents an important alternative in terms of using the potential of young people. Youth unemployment represents a significant loss of human capital that could contribute to economic growth. The last challenges that young people faced (mass emigration abroad, general demographic decline, the COVID-19 pandemic), shows that it is absolutely necessary to support young people in starting their own businesses. Analysing the experience of the European Union in supporting young entrepreneurs, we found that the inclusion of young people in economic activity is characterized by certain specific difficulties. Based on the obtained results, we can conclude that most of the analysed countries aim to develop entrepreneurial skills among young people through various mentoring and coaching programs, the dissemination of good practices and the sharing of experience. For the Republic of Moldova, the experience of the analysed countries demonstrates that the main support for young people to be interested in entrepreneurship, as a way of self-employment, is the promotion of public policies that must clearly indicate the need to develop and promote entrepreneurial education and culture, including the development entrepreneurial skills and an entrepreneurial mindset at all levels of education.

Published: April 2024

Cervical radiculopathy, a nerve root disorder can be a debilitating disease causing significant impairment with complaints of neck pain radiating to upper limb, paraesthesia, weakness and altered hand functions. Upper Limb Tension Test can be used to assess and to mobilize the entrapped nerve as it is both diagnostic and therapeutic. Hence this study was conducted to determine the effect of median nerve mobilization on pain and handgrip strength in cervical radiculopathy patients. 40 patients with cervical radiculopathy were allocated into 2 groups - Group A (control group) which received conventional treatment (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and strengthening exercises) and Group B (experimental group) which received median nerve mobilization along with conventional treatment for 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Pre-intervention (day 1) and post-intervention (end of 4th week) assessment was taken for pain by Visual Analogue Scale and handgrip strength by handheld dynamometer for both groups. Results showed that both groups had statistically significant improvement in pain and handgrip strength post treatment with p < 0.05. Between group analysis revealed that experimental group showed more improvement post treatment as compared to control group with p <0.0001. Hence, current study concludes that Median nerve mobilization along with conventional treatment was more effective than conventional treatment alone in reducing pain and improving grip strength in cervical radiculopathy.

Building the Lost Bone and Esthetics via Autogenous Bone Graft - A Savior to Implant Dentistry
Authors: Patil Sonika , Soni Dushyant , Bhandari Rajshree
Published: April 2024

Clinical challenges remain in augmentation of anterior maxillary alveolar bone deficiencies prior to endosseous implant implantation. Significant bone loss frequently occurs simultaneously with the traumatic loss of maxillary anterior teeth in the past. Reconstructing the original hard tissue form as closely as feasible is the goal of augmentation. This is necessary in order for the dental implants to be positioned optimally later on. Autogenous bone has long been considered the “gold standard” for bone grafting applications in implant treatment. Zygoma being the strongest bone was chosen as the doner site for autologous bone graft which was then mixed with xenograft and placed at the implant sites after placement of implant. In addition to aiding in the life of implants, autologous bone grafts taken from the zygomatic buttress are suitable for reconstructing bony alveolar crest abnormalities in the anterior maxillary region.

Introduction: Breast cancer is most common cancer on females worldwide with high mortality. PRL (prolactin) has a role in mammary gland growth, differentiation and lactation. It has been revealed that PRL may be involved in pathogenesis and progression of breast cancer malignancy. This study was designed to find out any association between serum Prolactin level with breast cancer and in its various stages. In this article a comparative cross sectional study with 30 cases and 28 controls conducted in apex institute of Varanasi, U.P. from July 2016 to July 2018 has been done. The serum prolactin levels were determined by AxSYM system which is a micro-particle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) technology.
RESULTS: Early menarche and post-menopausal status are significantly more associated with Carcinoma breast. Most common associated history with carcinoma breast was anorexia and weight loss. Mean prolactin level was significantly higher in carcinoma breast patients (39.67±7.71) in comparison to controls (28.72±1.63).
CONCLUSIONS: All high risk postmenopausal women with early age of menarche and not having breastfed should be made aware about breast cancer and train Self Breast Examination. Prolactin can be a potential target for primary prevention and intervention in breast cancer, especially in high risk females.

A Cross-Sectional Survey
Authors: Kapadia Aneri , Sodani Vasudha , Chhabria Parth
Published: April 2024

Background: X-ray images are mostly needed in order to diagnose the problems of the patients. But some cases require advanced imaging techniques such as Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), but when it comes to the applications in Pediatric Dentistry, CBCT requires careful selection of areas of use in children. In pediatric population, exposure should be kept reasonably low but some situations require accurate diagnosis which can be achieved by the use of CBCT.
Aim: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the knowledge, awareness & perception regarding uses of CBCT in Pediatric Dentistry among various dental practitioners & PGs in Ahmedabad city.
Methodology: A structured questionnaire was designed to assess knowledge, awareness & perception regarding the usage of CBCT. The form was distributed among 250 dentists which comprised of students who were dental post-graduates, MDS (Pediatric branch), MDS from other specialties and general practitioners (BDS) practicing in Ahmedabad city.
Results: A definite gap in knowledge & prescription of CBCT applications existed between different categories of dental specialists with respect to their years of experience. Current PG dental students have been provided with appropriate CBCT education while new age practitioners had better knowledge as they were taught CBCT in their curriculum as compared to senior practitioners.
Conclusion: Fostering cognizance and positive attitudes among dentists towards CBCT would tremendously boost the present-day dental diagnosis. Its promotion through optimal hands-on sessions, workshops would aid in its efficient application especially in pediatric population.

The study investigated the influence of business strategy and structure on SMMES business success in Botswana. The study was guided by market orientation theory which holds significant importance within the field of marketing research, as it underscores the need for organisations to align their internal processes, products, as well as strategies with the current market conditions. The quantitative research approach was employed, and the Poisson regression employed to analyse the survey data collected. It was found that strategic planning expertise, the application of a corporate strategy, employee inputs, and adherence to rigorous standards are all associated with a large rise in profitability. The results also highlight the value of a cooperative strategy within the company. When staff members participate in decision-making, they develop a sense of ownership and dedication to the company's success, which leads to increased commitment and output. Customer experiences, operational effectiveness, and ultimately the bottom line is all positively impacted by this. The emphasis on adhering to rigid guidelines also emphasises the significance of discipline and uniformity in operations. The study concludes that Botswana's SMMEs should prioritise strategic planning and ongoing skill development to adapt their company operations to changing market needs, so ensuring long-term growth and competitiveness. Policymakers and business support institutions should cultivate a cooperative environment that promotes employee involvement in decision-making and the implementation of strict operational benchmarks to stimulate innovation, productivity, and responsibility within the small, medium, and micro enterprise (SMME) sector.

The importance of information in achieving different organizational goals cannot be overstated since it ensures the rapid distribution of resources required to achieve desirable goals. The banking industry’s environment is incredibly dynamic and undergoes quick changes because of creativity, innovation, technological advancements, altered perceptions, and customer expectations. The center of the change curve is information and communication technology (ICT). Business organizations, particularly those in the banking sector, operate in a complex and competitive environment defined by shifting conditions and a volatile economic climate. Data for 20 MENA countries has been collected from the World Bank database between 1997 and 2021. Two-step System (Generalized Method of Moments) GMM were used to evaluate the influence of intrinsic features of individuals in a panel data set and avoid bias caused by omitted variables. The impact of the relationship between banks' performance and their use of ICT was evaluated in this study. The data analysis revealed that the impact of ICT on bank performance in MENA is positive. This suggests that a little shift in the banking industry's investment and adoption of ICT will result in a corresponding rise in profit levels.

Published: April 2024

This study examines the effect of carbon emission disclosure and the Public Disclosure Program for Environmental Compliance (PROPER) on foreign ownership of manufacturing companies in Indonesia from 2018 to 2022 that publish annual reports or sustainability reports, registered with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry PROPER, and carbon emissions disclosure in the annual report and/or sustainability report. The analysis method uses the ordinary least squared (OLS) approach to study 28 PROPER manufacturing companies used as samples. The control variable used is return on equity (ROE), this is based on the idea that foreign investors are willing to invest in other countries to get a return on the equity or capital channeled to the company. The results show that carbon emissions disclosure has a significant positive effect on foreign ownership. Conversely, PROPER did not have any significant positive effect on foreign ownership. The results show interesting results that foreign investors are proven to consider environmental aspects in making decisions to invest in companies in Indonesia. On the other hand, the Indonesian government needs to ensure that its PROPER ratings can also provide benefits to foreign investors to attract their investment decisions.

Published: April 2024

The research investigates the influence of corporate governance and financial performance on the disclosure of sustainability reports (DSR) in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research population was 71 energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2017-2021 period, and 10 of the 71 companies that met the sample criteria were the unit of analysis. The data analysis method for the DSR determinant estimation model uses panel data regression analysis. The research results show that liquidity hurts DSR, while company size has a positive impact. Profitability, capital structure, foreign Ownership, and independent commissioners have yet to be proven to determine DSR. These findings demonstrate that corporate governance cannot encourage companies to carry out DSR according to stakeholder expectations as a legitimacy mechanism. Therefore, independent commissioners and foreign Owners can pressure companies to carry out DSR optimally by applicable regulations and achieve sustainable performance.
