Self-catalysed hydrogenation of heavy oil and coal mixtures
Authors: Li Suan , Sun Zhenguang , Liu Qi , Ye Hang , Wang Kunpeng
Published: June 2023

Coal liquefaction and heavy oil processing have become the urgent need for national energy strategic technology reserves in China. However, the inactivation of solid catalysts in these processes is an inevitable problem. Therefore, a self-catalysed method was proposed. The properties of raw oil could be changed by adding a modifier, as it has the function of self-catalysis, and the additional catalyst is no longer needed. The effect of 200 ppm modifier on the hydrogenation of heavy oil and 500 ppm on the hydrogenation of coal and oil were investigated. The results showed that modifiers could be miscible with heavy oil at 50~100 °C and could change the properties of oil. When the temperature exceeded 250 °C, the sulfur element in the heavy oil combined with the metal element brought in by the modifier to form a particle with the size of 2–8 nm, which could interact with the hydrogen molecule to activate the hydrogen molecule. Activated hydrogen atoms further formed the complexes with nickel, vanadium, calcium, iron, and other elements in heavy oil to achieve the purpose of purifying and lightening the oil phase. Therefore, the self-catalysed method could be widely used in oil refining and would greatly promote the development of the oil refining and catalysis industry.

The present study aimed to prepare hydrogel based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and gelatin (Ge) and characterization of PVA/Ge hydrogel for their potential use as a sustained drug delivery system. Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and-Gelatin (Ge) were cross-linked using glutaraldehyde (GA) as a crosslinking agent and hydrochloric acid (HCl) as a catalyst. Different feed polymer ratio and crosslinking agent concentration were used to prepare a series of PVA/Ge hydrogels. The obtained PVA/Ge hydrogels were investigated for dynamic and equilibrium swelling studies. The effect of polymers ratio, degree of crosslinking and pH of the medium on swelling of PVA/Ge hydrogels was investigated. Furthermore, the values of diffusion coefficient (D), volume fraction, polymer-solvent interaction parameter, molecular weight between crosslink and crosslink density were calculated. For swelling studies, 0.05M USP phosphate buffer solutions of different pH (1.2, 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5) were used. For the drug release study, ciprofloxacin HCl was loaded into selected samples as a model drug. The release of drug from these samples was performed for 12 hours in USP phosphate buffers of pH 1.2, 5.5 and 7.5. The release data from these samples were fitted into various kinetic models like zero order, first order, Higuchi and Peppas models to investigate the release mechanism. It was found that by varying the composition of PVA/Ge hydrogel and GA concentration, a significant difference was observed in drug release kinetics. FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were used for the characterization of hydrogels. PVA/Ge hydrogel showed sustained release of the model drug at various pH values suggesting its potential use as a sustained drug delivery system.

Ocular infections have been associated with bacterial contamination of eyeglasses. This study assessed bacterial contaminants associated with the eyeglasses of the staff and students of Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria. A total of 100 participants comprising 33 males and 67 females (aged 16-76 years) were recruited for the study after obtained the written informed consents. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the demographic and clinical information. A total of 100 eyeglasses were examined for bacterial contamination using standard bacteriological methods. A one–way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey–Kramer multiple comparisons test were used to determine the differences between the bacterial loads among the eyeglasses of study participants. We found that the percentage of eyeglass lenses with unacceptable levels of contamination (105CFU/mL) and acceptable levels of contamination were 19% and 46%, respectively. The percentages of eyeglass handles with unacceptable and accepted level of contamination were 49% and 7%, respectively. Most of the isolated bacteria were sensitive to the tested antibiotics. Risk factors associated with bacterial contamination of eyeglasses were exposure to dusty environment, irregular cleaning, and poor compliance with eyeglass care guidelines. Our study further underscores the claim that eyes glasses may serve as potential vehicles for bacteria capable of causing ocular infections.

Authors: Viveiros Rosa Sandro Guimarães , Farfán Cano Galo Guillermo
Published: July 2023

Severe sepsis and septic shock are complex syndromes with high mortality that frequently affect ICU patients. Contributions such as the Surviving Sepsis campaign have led to the issuing of guidelines for managing these patients. This manuscript aims to provide a review of state of the art using a systematic review of resuscitation and the use of vasopressors in patients with septic shock. Using MESH terms and Boolean operators, systematic research for information was carried out in PubMed in February 2023. We included 28 articles of which 18 were selected using the prism algorithm that met the inclusion criteria (analysis of septic shock, fluid resuscitation, or the use of vasopressors in septic shock in humans). In conclusion, the management of septic shock should be performed based on clear objectives to improve outcomes, for which maintenance of physiological levels of oxygenation, serum lactate, and mean arterial blood pressure are crucial.
Physicians’ Workload and Quality Healthcare in Indonesia
Authors: Pratama Rovy , Yufika Amanda
Published: July 2023

Indonesian law regulates that physicians might work in maximum three places. This policy results in increased workload, which might lead to burnout, affecting the quality care. This review aimed to explore how physicians’ workload affect the quality healthcare in Indonesia. We found that most Indonesian physicians worked long hours due to the current policy allowing them to work in maximum three medical centers. Vast majority of doctors in Indonesia also had to deal with abundant administrative works, especially since the implementation of Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN). Excessive workload increased work-related stress and job dissatisfaction, which eventually increased physician’s burnout. All these results in poorer quality healthcare. One of the solutions is to regulate physicians to only work at one healthcare facility (Mono-loyalty). However, a careful consideration and thorough preparation to adopt this policy is warrant.

Published: June 2023

В статье публикуются результаты работ на Татарско-Азибейской III стоянке в 2020 г. Площадь разведочного раскопа, заложенного в месте концентрации подъемного материала в виде фрагментов керамики и бронзовых изделий, составила 48 м2. Основным слоем, содержавшим артефакты на Татарско-Азибейской III стоянке, является слой темно-серой комковатой гумусированной супеси (пашни). Этот слой, сформированный в Новое время, практически полностью разрушил культурный слой стоянки вне материковых сооружений. В нем содержатся находки от неолита до Нового времени во фрагментарном состоянии. В раскопе были зафиксированы частичные остатки двух полуземлянок позднего бронзового века. Судя по конструктивным деталям и характеру керамики, происходящей из придонной части заполнения полуземлянок, сооружение №1 относится к атабаевскому этапу маклашеевской культуры (XIV–XIII вв. до н.э.), а сооружение №2 к луговской культуре (XVII–XV вв. до н.э.). Фрагменты керамика эпохи неолита и энеолита и кремневые изделия этого времени (V–IV тыс. до н.э.) встречаются разрозненно по всей площади раскопа и свидетельствует о том, что слой каменного века был значительно переработан, начиная с позднего бронзового века по Новое время. Судя по археозоологическим определениям, видовой состав домашних животных на Татарско-Азибейской III стоянке был близок к составу стада на других поселениях позднего бронзового века Прикамья.
Погребения с сейминско-турбинским инвентарем из Оренбургского Предуралья: хронологический, палеодиетический и миграционный аспекты
Authors: Купцова Лидия Владимировна , Халяпин Михаил Викторович
Published: June 2023

В настоящей работе впервые публикуются материалы четырех погребений некрополя синташтинской культуры из Оренбургского Предуралья, в которых был выявлен сейминско-турбинский инвентарь. Анализируемые захоронения могильника у горы Березовой были совершены согласно сейминско-турбинской погребальной обрядности, для двух из них характерно смешение культурных традиций. Появление носителей сейминско-турбинского траснкультурного феномена (СТФ) в Оренбургском Предуралье уверенно можно связать с миграционным импульсом с территории Западной Сибири: об этом свидетельствуют археологические, антропологические данные и результаты анализа легких изотопов (δ¹³C и δ¹⁵N). Судя по тому, что представители синташтинской культуры и носители СТФ были похоронены на одной погребальной площадке с соблюдением привычных для обеих культурных групп погребальных практик, в данном случае можно говорить об их мирном сосуществовании. Возможно, носители СТФ были инкорпорированы в синташтинский коллектив с сохранением своего социального статуса. Время контактов синташтинских групп и носителей СТФ по результатам радиоуглеродного АМS датирования материалов обсуждаемого памятника приходится на XX–XVIII вв. до н.э. В статье также вводятся в научный оборот ранее не опубликованные AMS даты синташтинских комплексов Оренбургского Предуралья.

Authors: Suprayoga Bima , Hartiwiningsih  , Rustamaji Muhammad
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine and know the concept and application of proof and calculation of state economic losses, which so far law enforcement on the application of proving state economic losses is rarely carried out by law enforcement.
 
Method: The definition of the state economy as referred to in the Elucidation of the Corruption Law is very general and has multiple interpretations so that it is  difficult to explain in trial evidence, this has an impact on the lack of law enforcement in implementing state economic losses.
 
Results and conclusion: The concept of state economic losses in its application based on the corruption law can be formulated more concretely, including determining the characteristics and scope of state economic losses, and along with the development of science, especially economics, relating to state economic losses as a corruption impact. The calculation of economic losses uses two approaches, namely economic losses and lost expenditures. By taking action that does not harm the country's economy, law enforcement against criminal acts of corruption can be more optimal and the recovery of state economic losses can be maximized in order to welfare society.
 
Research implications: Economists who focus on the problem of state economic losses, with certain formulas can calculate the  real amount of state economic losses. The component of state economic losses is calculated based  on the amount of losses incurred, namely multiple economic impacts.
 
Originality/value: The various corruption cases that have been revealed in these sectors show that there is an impact on the state and regional economy that is far greater than the value of state losses due to acts of corruption that occur. The stabilization function of the economy has been disrupted so that the economic fundamentals of the country or region have weakened.

Authors: Daniel Hauser Philipp , Funcia Lemme Celso
Published: July 2023

Este artigo apresenta um modelo financeiro para a avaliação da viabilidade empresarial de projetos de incineração de resíduos sólidos municipais no Brasil, no âmbito do mecanismo de desenvolvimento limpo do Protocolo de Kioto, tomando como referência o Projeto Usinaverde, desenvolvido na Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro.    O reaproveitamento energético pode contribuir para a gestão dos resíduos e para a redução das emissões de gases de efeito estufa. A análise financeira está baseada no modelo de fluxo de caixa descontado e chega à conclusão de que, mesmo considerando-se as receitas provenientes do tratamento do lixo, da venda de energia elétrica e dos créditos de carbono, o projeto é questionável do ponto-de-vista de um investidor privado, pois para que fosse viável seriam necessários preços diferenciados, tanto para o tratamento do lixo quanto para a eletricidade fornecida. Em um futuro próximo, os crescentes custos associados ao tratamento de lixo e à produção de energia poderão elevar os atuais preços de mercado ao nível considerado adequado para a viabilização empresarial de projetos dessa natureza. Além disso, o projeto pode ser economicamente viável na ótica da sociedade como um todo, aspecto a ser examinado em um prosseguimento desta pesquisa.Resumen   Este estudio presenta un modelo financiero para la evaluación de viabilidad empresarial de proyectos de incineración de residuos sólidos municipales en Brasil, en el ámbito del Mecanismo de Desarrollo Limpio del Protocolo de Kyoto, utilizando como referencia el Proyecto Usinaverde, desarrollado en la Universidad Federal de Río de Janeiro.

Neste artigo a gestão ambiental dos recursos hídricos é discutida, analisando-se os aspectos econômicos relacionados com a gestão da quantidade e da qualidade da água. É discutida a criação de mercado de direito da água, analisando-se a utilização de dois tipos de mercado, o de direito de uso e o de certificado de poluição. Serão mostrados alguns métodos existentes de valoração da água e suas aplicações. Pretende-se investigar a experiência da cobrança pelo uso da água em outros países, como os casos da França, da Inglaterra e da Alemanha, sendo descrita a experiência do Brasil na cobrança pela água bruta. Quanto aos objetivos da cobrança, de acordo com o estabelecido na nova gestão de recursos hídricos no país, economicamente, estes devem ser dois: o financiamento da gestão de recursos hídricos e a redução das externalidades ambientais negativas. Argumenta-se que a cobrança de tarifa sobre a água decorre de quatro motivações (financeira, econômica, eqüidade e distribuição de renda), influenciando na escolha da referência tarifária a ser adotada. Por outro lado, o uso de mecanismos de mercado apresenta custos mais baixos do que as abordagens mais tradicionais de regulamentação da quantidade e qualidade da água.Resumen   En este estudio se discute la gestión ambiental de los recursos hídricos, analizando los aspectos económicos relacionados con la gestión de la cantidad y calidad del agua.

A incorporação da sustentabilidade nos negócios vem ganhando crescente atenção de diversos grupos de interesse, tais como investidores, sociedade civil, clientes e meios de comunicação. Porém, somente é possível integrar de forma efetiva os aspectos sociais e ambientais na estratégia empresarial quando as empresas conseguem estabelecer uma justificativa de negócios para um bom desempenho socioambiental; quando isto não acontece, tal integração fica vulnerável a mudanças na gestão, ciclos financeiros e mudanças nas prioridades das sociedades. Esta pesquisa examinou as informações públicas de instituições do setor bancário brasileiro para entender até que ponto a divulgação de informações sobre suas iniciativas socioambientais faz associação com o desempenho financeiro corporativo. Em linha com estudos anteriores, os resultados revelaram que as empresas ainda pouco associam suas práticas de sustentabilidade com o desempenho financeiro corporativo na divulgação pública de informações. Adicionalmente, os resultados da pesquisa sugerem que tanto as práticas de sustentabilidade como os maiores níveis de associação destas com o desempenho financeiro corporativo se fazem mais presentes na divulgação de informações de empresas de maior porte.Palavras-Chave: Sustentabilidade Corporativa; Bancos; Desempenho Financeiro; Informações Corporativas.AbstractAlthough corporate sustainability has become a hot topic for many groups of stakeholders, a consistent connection of environmental and social initiatives with corporate strategy seems to require the definition of a clear business case for the companies. This research has reviewed publicly available information released by Brazilian banks trying to identify whether data regarding environmental and social performance show a clear link with corporate financial performance. Confirming previous works, we found that companies in the sample do not establish a deep relationship between corporate sustainability initiatives and financial performance when reporting to the public. Research results also suggest that both sound corporate sustainability initiatives and their clear connections with corporate financial performance appear more frequently in public reports of the largest corporations.Keywords: Corporate sustainability; Banks; Financial performance; Corporate reports.

A criação de um ambiente favorável para geração do desenvolvimento, através do envolvimento e participação dos atores locais, da construção de parcerias e da melhor forma de funcionamento das instituições tem feito emergir conceitos, modelos e metodologias que retratem com maior ênfase o tema desenvolvimento sustentável. Neste sentido, o artigo tem como objetivo identificar o nível de sustentabilidade das localidades produtoras de mamona na microrregião de Irecê (BA) e suas influências no desenvolvimento local. Como procedimentos metodológicos, foram contextualizados para as localidades pesquisadas os dados constantes no documento IDS Brasil (2004) do IBGE, o qual aborda dimensões e indicadores da sustentabilidade (social, ambiental, econômica e institucional). Os resultados evidenciam que os indicadores de sustentabilidade apresentaram uma situação crítica, o que interfere no potencial econômico que a produção da mamona representa nas referidas localidades e resulta na necessidade de políticas e ações voltadas para a construção de um desenvolvimento efetivamente sustentável.Palavras-Chave: Sustentabilidade; Indicadores; Desenvolvimento Local.AbstractThe creation of a favourable environment for the generation of development, through the involvement and participation of local actors, the building of partnerships and the best way of functioning of the institutions has been emerging concepts, models and methodologies that show with greater emphasis on the theme sustainable development. In this sense, the article aims to identify the level of sustainability of the castor oil plant bean-producing areas of micro Irecê (BA) and its influence in local development. As methodological procedures have been contextualized to the localities surveyed the data contained in the document IDS Brazil (2004) of the IBGE, which deals with dimensions and indicators of sustainability (social, environmental, economic and institutional). The results show that indicators of sustainability presented a critical situation, which interfere with economic potential that the production of castor oil plant bean is in those locations and results in the need for policies and actions directed to the construction of a sustainable development effectively.Keywords: Sustainability; Indicators; Local Development

Palavras-chave: Este artigo discute a participação dos atores não-estatais brasileiros, indianos e sul-africanos nas deliberações sobre questões ambientais, seja na esfera da formulação da política externa de cada país, seja nas conferências para mudanças climáticas e biodiversidade no âmbito da Organização das Nações Unidas. Um dos principais desafios trazidos pelo fenômeno da globalização refere-se à exigência por maior legitimidade nos processos democráticos em temas multilaterais. Enquanto os temas substantivos da política se mundializam, as instituições do processo político tradicionais da democracia permanecem territorialmente orientadas, nacional ou localmente. A análise das possibilidades e limites do processo de participação social de movimentos e organizações ambientalistas pretende contribuir para a qualificação teórica e operacional da temática. Sob o aspecto teórico, o trabalho visa contribuir para o debate conceitual sobre termos centrais na temática, como as idéias de democracia cosmopolita, governança global e sociedade civil internacional.Palavras-chave: Democracia Global; Governança Ambiental; Atores Não-Estatais; Índia; Brasil; África do Sul.AbstractPalavras-chave: This article discusses the Brazilian, Indian and South African non-state actors’ participation in the deliberation on environmental issues, either in the formulation of each country’s foreign policy or in the United Nations environmental conferences on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and Biodiversity (CBD). One of the main challenges brought by the advance of globalization refers to the need for more legitimacy in the decision-making processes on multilateral themes. While the substantive themes of politics became globalized, the institutions of the traditional political process remained domestically oriented. Considering this context, firstly, on a theoretical level this paper examines some still-blurred terms in the conceptual debate, such as global democracy, global governance and international civil society. Secondly, the analysis explores the practical possibilities and limits of the participation process of environmental movements and non-governmental organizations in the above mentioned spheres of politics.Keywords: Global Democracy; Environmental Governance; Non-state Actors; India; Brazil; South Africa.
