Corruption and Asian Values: A Cultural Approach to Understand Corruption within Asian Society
Authors: Yuniarti  , Wirawan Rendy
Published: January 2023

As global threat shifts from traditional security issues to non-traditional security issues, corruption is placed among the top threats to humankind since it poses danger to the development and prosperity of one state. Corruption is a social pandemic occurring across the globe, from East to West, North to South. However, Asia is a part of the world where corruption grows prolific. For this reason, this paper argues that Asian values is responsible for shaping a corrupt society within Asian social structure. Asian values create a communitarian society that respect order, authority, family and relationship. Perhaps these values are misinterpreted and undermined by community for their personal benefits. There are two dimensions that Asian values might contribute to the making of corrupt society, political and social. In politics, political system and its historical legacy appear to be substantive in shaping corrupt society. Meanwhile in social architecture, Asian values itself habituate Asian community to practice corruption in their daily activities. This research aims to verify that Asian values work as a primary element in shaping corruptive behaviour within Asian society. This research operates qualitative methods with explanatory analysis mode.

The objective of this research on the relationship between urbanization and road networks in the lower Northeastern region of Thailand was to compare the urban area in 2006, 2013 and 2016 using nighttime light satellite images from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), acquired by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP/OLS) and the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP). After that the relationship between urbanization and road network was identified using nighttime light satellite images from these satellites. The nighttime light data was used to determine the urbanization levels, which were then compared with Landsat 8 Satellite images taken in 2016 in order to find the Pearson correlation coefficient. The results indicated that areas with high urbanization identified from the nighttime light satellite images taken by the Suomi NPP Satellite had a day/night band reflectance of 172-255 indicated and were located primarily along the roads. The analysis of these data suggested that urbanization has a significantly positive relationship with the road network at 0.01 level, with R2 values of 0.800 for urbanization and 0.985 for the road network.

Published: January 2023

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has predicted that sub-tropical regions are more vulnerable to climate change’s negative effects (CC). Additionally, to CC, land use and land cover (LULC) changes and dam construction, often neglected, play an important role in the spatial and temporal distribution of water balance components (WBC) for agricultural production and socio-ecological equilibrium. This study aimed to analyze and compare the changes in LULC and WBC for the period before Nangbéto dam construction (1964–1986) and the period after its construction (1988–2010) in the Mono River Basin (MRB). To this end, the study used mainly WBC extracted from the validated Soil and Water Assessment Tool and LULC data of 1975–2000 in the MRB to explore their temporal distributions and the link in their changes. The results showed that mean actual monthly evapotranspiration, percolation, water yield, surface runoff, groundwater, and lateral flow represent 51%, 17.5%, 15.9%, 9.4%; 5.7% and 0.4%, respectively, of total water balance between 1964 and 1986. The same components represented 51%, 9.1%, 20.4%, 6.3%, 10.6% and 2.6%, respectively, between 1988 and 2010. The contribution of these WBC in the mean-annual (1964–1986) period was for actual evapotranspiration (31.3%), water yield (25.9%), percolation (17.7%), groundwater (14.71%), surface runoff (9.94%) and lateral flow (0.40%). Meanwhile, between 1988 and 2010, the contribution of actual evapotranspiration, water yield, percolation, groundwater, surface runoff and lateral flow is 49.8%,19.9%, 11.2%, 10.3%, 6.1%, and 2.5%, respectively. The results showed that the peaks of the actual evapotranspiration, surface runoff, percolation and water yield appeared in September, corresponding to a month after the maximum rainfall in August. However, our more detailed analysis showed that a significant decrease in forest and savanna and an increase in croplands led to a decrease in actual evapotranspiration and lateral flow over the second simulation period compared to the first period of simulation over the MRB scale. These findings showed that sustainable management and conservation of natural vegetation are crucial for integrated water resource management and conservation in MRB.

Published: January 2023

This research analyses the causes of traffic congestion in urban corridors. It specifically studies the intersected relationship between land-use and transportation planning by examining Al-Madina Al Monawara street in Amman, the capital of Jordan, as a case study. Techniques implemented in data collection are personal observations, traffic counts, land use maps and questionnaires. The methods applied in analysing the collected traffic counts are: Level of Service (LOS), Automatic Traffic Counters (ATC) and Trip Attraction Analysis (TAA). The outcome of the research verified the relationship between the high level of traffic, where the traffic exceeds the actual capacity of the street by 43%, and the unregulated land use planning where 85% of the existing buildings along the street are commercial. The findings of this research will help to establish an assessment tool for testing the impacts of transportation and land use in congested developing cities. This study is important since transportation solutions receive little attention by planner’s development agendas in Jordan and the neighbouring countries.

The Relation Between Net Primary Productivity And Human Activities For Three Biomes In Bahia State, Brazil
Authors: Benfica Nayanne Silva , Gomes Andrea Da Silva , Drumond Carlos Eduardo Iwai , Zanchi Fabrício Berton
Published: January 2023

Brazilian biomes are hotspots of global biodiversity, important biomass producers and, consequently, help maintain the world’s carbon balance. Net primary production (NPP) is a variable used to determine carbon uptake by land cover. As environmental factors and human activities vary, net primary production increases or decreases. This study aimed to evaluate NPP in three Brazilian biomes – Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, and Caatinga – in the state of Bahia for the last 17 years, and to understand its relationship with human activities by analyzing burned areas, as well as interrelated environmental factors, such as climate variability and soil heat flux, using remote sensing. Using the MOD17 dataset, we find evidence that the Atlantic Forest biome is the one that absorbs more carbon in comparison to the Caatinga and Cerrado biomes, with a mean annual net primary production in each one of these three biomes equal to 1,227.89 g C m-2, 913.81 g C m-2, and 803.56 g C m-2, respectively. The years of El Niño influenced all biomes, and the results showed a strong relationship between climate and NPP in the studied biomes, especially in Caatinga, which is the most sensitive to climatic variations. Besides these results, we find evidence that, in all these biomes, the NPP dynamics have been affected by the increase in land use for agricultural and livestock activities, mainly because of deforestation and burning.
Digital Elevation Model Development Of The Volga And Don River’s Delta And Application In Hydrological Modeling
Authors: Yaitskaya Natalia A. , Sheverdyaev Igor V.
Published: January 2023

The article describes the methodology for constructing digital elevation models for the vast delta areas of the Don and Volga rivers for further use in mathematical models of flooding from surges. The initial cartographic data and features of the delta regions are described. The methods of information processing are considered in detail. An algorithm for constructing a DEM has been developed to obtain highly detailed digital elevation models. The algorithm is based on combining the DEM of individual key features - land, the depths of the hydrographic network and the bathymetry of the receiving reservoir for the river. The topographic maps, maps of the navigable route depths, hydrographic maps, and satellite images Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2 were used to create the DEM of the Don and Volga river. To build individual DEMs, a raster of the absolute depth of the channels, a hydrography DEM, a land DEM, and a shelf DEM were created using geoinformation systems. To assess the possibility of using obtained DEMs in hydrological models based on HEC-RAS, we conducted training and verification calculations of water level during wind surge phenomena in Don Delta using different surface roughness coefficients. The calculation results show good reproducibility of observed water level fluctuation in the Don Delta using obtained DEM with a roughness coefficient of 0.0125. Also, we carried out similar calculations of storm surge phenomena in the Volga Delta using obtained DEM and combinations of various riverbed and not riverbed roughness coefficients. The combination of 0.007 for riverbed and 0.02 for not riverbed surfaces reproduces the observed water level fluctuation during storm surge phenomena in Volga Delta. The constructed DEMs for the Volga and Don deltas made it possible to reproduce the observed dynamics of river discharges and water level fluctuations during surge events. Such detailed DEMs, taking into account all the complexity of the coastal and delta relief, were created for the first time for the Volga and Don.
Landscape Reading for Alpine Rivers: A Case Study from the river Biya
Authors: Schmalfuß Lisa , Hauer Christoph , Yanygina Liubov V. , Schletterer Martin
Published: January 2023

Anthropogenic stressors have altered the hydromorphological characteristics of rivers worldwide. Environmental guiding principles are essential for planning sustainable river restoration measures. The alpine river Biya, located in the Russian Altai mountains, originates from Lake Teletskoye and joins the Katun near Biysk, forming the Ob. The Biya represents a hydromorphological reference system in anthropogenically ‘least-disturbed’ condition. The presented study aimed to assess the river’s undisturbed morphology in relationship with the geological history of three different river stretches based on an adapted landscape reading approach using remote sensing information (ASTER GDEM v3). The established widths of the active channel, active floodplain and morphological floodplain as well as the longitudinal section were used to explain the differences between upper, middle, and lower Biya. The results confirm differences in the geological origins between the upper Biya, which has previously been described as the least developed and narrowest, and the other two stretches based on the analyses of morphological parameters. Morphological floodplain width could best explain the differences between upper (0-86 km), middle (86-196 km), and lower Biya (196-301 km). The study further showed a clear relationship between the variations in river patterns and adjacent topographic structures (valley confinements, tributary interactions), highlighting that any assessment of river morphology must consider the wider surroundings of a river stretch. The presented morphological observations and analyses of the Biya show that easily obtainable parameters can detect differences in the morphological history of river stretches within the same catchment, supporting process understanding.

Published: January 2023

Anthropogenic activities can greatly influence the lake ecosystems across the globe. Within these ecosystems, the impacts of human activities are most evident on sedimentation, light and nutrient availability, and disturbance frequency. There have been times of natural environmental healing of reservoirs and the present research aims to explore the variations in the water quality of Tarbela reservoir, Pakistan the largest rock-filled dam of the world, from 1990 to 2020. Landsat imagery (Landsat 4-5, 5, 7 and 8) was used to monitor Land Use Land Cover (LULC), Normalized Difference Chlorophyll Index (NDCI), Normalized Difference Turbidity Index (NDTI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) in Tarbela reservoir, and its surrounding area from 1990−2020, on decadal interval. The results indicated a significant increase in built-up area, of about 630 km2 , in the western and eastern parts of the reservoir, whereas turbidity level, revealed a substantial decline with 4% decrease observed in the last decade, 2010-2020 thus confirming improved water quality. The study also presented expanse in the spatial coverage of chlorophyll index and water index, indicating increase in residence time of the water. It is concluded that the water quality continued to deteriorate with time, however, 2020 was a year of environmental healing and there was an overall water quality improvement of the reservoir observed. The study recommends policies to be formulated for sediment flushing and turbidity reduction for longer time duration to enhance the life of this mega reservoir.

Published: January 2023

Flooding is the most common disaster in Indonesia, it is classified as a disaster if it affects humans causing physical and financial losses. Flood damage depends on the type of flood, flow velocity, and duration. The increase in population will cause an increase in infrastructure that will affect the environment, including the carrying capacity of rivers and catchment areas, while flooding in urban areas will also have an impact on infrastructure and assets, increasing flood damage. This study discusses the factors that cause flooding (rainfall, topography, soil type, land slope, distance from rivers, river waste, population density, etc.), as well as various types of floods that occur. The method used in this research was based on the qualitative analysis of the information from the government and literature over the last five years obtained from online databases and search engines. The results of this study can provide a reference for the theory regarding disaster risk assessment and flood hazard prediction in watersheds. This research was conducted in the Ciliwung Watershed (DAS), where the factors and the dominant type of flooding were determined. Knowing the contributing factors can be beneficial for flood risk management. This research focuses on identifying factors that contribute to fluvial flood events and understanding their influence so that a more integrated flood risk management that takes into account the upstream, middle, and downstream parts of the watershed can be arranged in other areas based on the example of measures implemented by the local government in the Ciliwung watershed. This conceptual effort provides a much-needed foundation for developing better mitigation efforts in watersheds.
Testing Bed Load Transport Formulas: A Case Study Of The Lower Amur Using Bed Load Yield Data Obtained With Multi-Beam Echo-Sounders (Mbes)
Authors: Petrovskaya Olga A. , Maltsev Andrey A.
Published: January 2023

The development of bed load calculation methods directly depends on the reliability of the measurement data. The most reliable measurement data remains the data obtained by the volumetric method when observing the filling of reservoirs, borrows, ditches etc. Nevertheless these data are the rarest. In this paper on the base of the data obtained when observing the process of filling of a ditch across the Amur River a comparison of a number of bed load calculation methods is performed. The observations were carried out with a multi-beam echo-sounder during summer floods of 2018, from 21st of July to 22nd of August. Over this time 5 surveys were performed, that allows to have 4 calculation periods for determining bed load yield. The total number of the measurements at different calculation verticals is 108. These data are used for verification of 80 bed load formulas. Four methodological approaches are considered: bed form approach, critical velocity approach, critical water discharge approach and regression approach. The bed form approach has shown the greatest accuracy: 17 formulas out of 26 gave the error less than 60%. For the other 56 methods which were considered only 5 formulas showed the error less than 60%, all of them correspond to the critical velocity approach.

Authors: Gómez Caballero Iván , González Monteagudo Cristina
Published: January 2023

En las últimas décadas se han traducido las comedias auriseculares de Lope de Vega a varios idiomas. El presente trabajo trata estudiar la primera traducción en lengua inglesa de Fuenteovejuna (1991) de Lope de Vega por parte de Victor Dixon, centrándose en la fraseología desde un punto de vista traductológico y también desde la lingüística diacrónica para estudiar ciertas dificultades lingüísticas que encierra la comedia. El estudio incide en un análisis de diversas unidades fraseológicas, como, por ejemplo, colocaciones formadas verbo + sustantivo y sustantivo + adjetivo, además de locuciones nominales, adjetivales y adverbiales, junto con fórmulas rutinarias y paremias. Por último, se han clasificado todas estas unidades fraseológicas según la técnica de traducción utilizada y el grado de equivalencia, en donde encontramos equivalencias totales, parciales, nulas, erróneas, anómalas, estructuras sin equivalencia y estructuras equivalentes. El objetivo, por tanto, reside en observar la primera traducción de Fuenteovejuna en quinientos años desde su redacción por Lope y en qué medida se aleja del texto original.
Traducciones, retraducciones y retrotraducciones de las crónicas italianas de Da Recco y Cadamosto (sobre el redescubrimiento de las Islas Canarias)
Authors: Marcelo Wirnitzer Gisela
Published: January 2023

En los siglos XIV y XV, Portugal emprendió expediciones exploratorias por el Atlántico, que pasaron por las Islas Canarias. En esas expediciones participaron, entre otros, dos marineros italianos, Niccoloso da Recco y Alvise Cadamosto, quienes redactaron a su regreso unas crónicas sobre su paso por las Islas con datos de carácter antropológico, etnográfico, lingüístico, etc. Estos textos se convirtieron en valiosos testimonios del avance europeo por el Atlántico que se tradujeron e incorporaron a obras historiográficas en español desde poco después de su redacción hasta la actualidad. Se trata de casos muy distintos de microhistorias de la historia de la traducción que contemplan casos de traducción, retraducción y retrotraducción a y desde diferentes lenguas. Por ello, este trabajo localiza todas las traducciones al español de cada crónica, determina sus circunstancias y esclarece quién tradujo qué texto y por qué.
Cuentos para sanar: una aproximación a los cuentos en línea para educar en salud y su traducción para niños inmigrantes en España
Authors: Álvaro Aranda Cristina
Published: January 2023

Este artículo ofrece una aproximación a los cuentos disponibles en línea para la promoción de la salud y hábitos saludables en España, con énfasis en su traducción y adaptación para niños inmigrantes. Para ello, se realiza una webquest centrada en entidades que ofrecen información sanitaria, lo que permite extraer una muestra de 57 cuentos. Tras describir sus características y temas principales, el eje se desplaza a los 27 recursos disponibles en lenguas distintas al castellano. La mayoría de los cuentos se traduce a otras lenguas cooficiales de España y se detecta un número modesto de recursos en inglés o francés, que es aún menor para las lenguas de la inmigración (p. ej. árabe). Tras describir distintas decisiones traductológicas respecto a nombres propios, rimas y onomatopeyas, ilustraciones y elementos culturales, se sugiere incluir un mayor número de elementos con los que los niños inmigrantes puedan identificarse (p. ej. personajes con vestimentas típicas) para mejorar la eficacia de los cuentos, y así promover el trabajo conjunto entre autor, ilustrador y traductor de los materiales.

Detemir improves diabetic regulation in poorly controlled diabetic dogs with concurrent diseases
Authors: Harris-Samson Antoinette R. , Rand Jacquie , Ford Sara L.
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

This study evaluated the use of detemir for treating diabetic dogs with comorbidities that were poorly controlled with intermediate-acting insulins.

ANIMALS

7 insulin-treated diabetic dogs.

PROCEDURES

Retrospective pilot study. Dogs were treated with detemir for at least 3 months, and glycemia was assessed by the owners at home initially 2 to 4 times daily for 6 to 8 weeks and twice daily thereafter. Clinical evaluations occurred on days 7 to 14, day 30, and then every 60 to 90 days, and dosage adjustments of detemir occurred as needed to control glycemia.

RESULTS

The mean, peak, nadir, morning, and evening preinsulin daily blood glucose concentrations were significantly lower after dosing with detemir for 1, 3, or 6 months and during the last month of treatment compared to the final month of treatment with intermediate-acting insulin. Intermediate-acting insulins resulted in significantly worse glycemic control than detemir in all 3 categories of control. The odds of a biochemical hypoglycemic measurement with detemir were not significantly different compared to intermediate-acting insulins. Clinical hypoglycemia did not occur following detemir treatment. When insulin was withheld because of low morning preinsulin blood glucose concentration < 6.7 mmol/L (≤ 120 mg/dL) and dogs were fed, mean blood glucose concentration was significantly higher 1 hour later. Glucose concentrations were also significantly higher 12 hours later on days when insulin was withheld in the morning or evening for either 1 or 12 hours.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Detemir is useful in diabetic dogs with other comorbidities and can be considered an alternative treatment in poorly controlled diabetic dogs.
Retrospective assessment of general anesthesia-related challenges, morbidity, and death in snakes: 139 cases (2000–2022)
Authors: Morrison Heather L. , Rasys Ashley M. , Quandt Jane E. , Divers Stephen J.
Published: January 2023

OBJECTIVE

To summarize the anesthetic events of snakes seen at a large university hospital, identify challenges with record keeping, and assess patient and anesthesia-related morbidity and death.

SAMPLE

139 anesthetic events were performed; only 106 cases had detailed anesthetic reports available for further analyses.

PROCEDURES

Medical records of snakes that underwent general anesthesia between October 2000 and January 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Only cases with complete anesthesia records were used to assess anesthetic parameters. Collected data included general patient details, diagnoses, procedures, premedication, induction, maintenance, monitoring, and recovery.

RESULTS

A thorough review of the records identified issues or scenarios that resulted in poor record management as well as highlighted the most frequently used anesthetics in snakes. For premedication this was alfaxalone, butorphanol, and hydromorphone, whereas isoflurane, alfaxalone, or propofol were the most common with induction. Lastly, with maintenance, isoflurane was the most popular choice. Of the 139 cases performed, 127 animals recovered, 8 were euthanatized due to poor prognosis, and 4 failed to recover. All snakes that failed to recover had preexisting disease identified pre-, peri-, or postoperatively at necropsy.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

General anesthesia can be reliably and safely undertaken in snakes without severe preexisting disease. Efforts should be directed at identifying preexisting disease and maintaining and completing anesthesia records, and we recommend an auditing system to identify and correct issues as they arise.
Writing Differently about Scholarly Issues: Defending Our Voices and Inviting the Reader
Authors: Lehman Iga Maria , Krzeszowski Tomasz Paweł
Published: January 2023

This paper addresses an ethical issue which comes into play when a scholar sits down to write an article. It concerns rhetorical strategies traditionally employed in top-tier academic journals, specifically in business and management, which efface a unique authorial voice and are reader exclusive. To reclaim authorial voice and embrace the reader’s presence in text construction, we propose approaching scholarly writing as a dialogue between the writer and the reader, an emotional engagement which includes aspects of the notion of ‘tenderness’ coined by Olga Tokarczuk (2019, 2020). Writing with tenderness enables authors to engage with readers in a way that helps them unite fragments of text into a single coherent design.

Because in our digitalised and globalised world, there is a lack of universal values the writer could draw on to craft arguments convincing for the reader, we need to search for new ways to narrate our lives. Our approach involves the inclusion of what Tokarczuk (2019) calls ‘structures of mythology’ which are conceived of as values fundamental for human lives and allow for a wide range of content-dependent interpretations. Incorporating aspects of ‘tenderness’ in the process of text production will have important impact on the utility, accessibility, relevance, quality and global reach of scholarly writing.
Effects of gold fiducial marker implantation on tumor control and toxicity in external beam radiotherapy of prostate cancer
Authors: Moll Matthias , Weiß Magdalena , Stanisav Vladimir , Zaharie Alexandru , Goldner Gregor
Published: January 2023

Background

Evidence regarding the effects of fiducials in image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) for tumor control and acute and late toxicity is sparse.

Patients and methods

Patients with primary low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer, 40 with and 21 without gold fiducial markers (GFM), and treated between 2010 and 2015 were retrospectively included. The decision for or against GFM implantation took anaesthetic evaluation and patient choice into account. IGRT was performed using electronic portal imaging devices. The prescribed dose was 78 Gy, with 2 Gy per fraction. Biochemical no evidence of disease (bNED) failure was defined using the Phoenix criteria. Acute and late gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary toxicity (GU) were assessed using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group criteria.

Results

Most patients did not receive GFM due to contraindications for anaesthesia or personal choice (60% and 25%). Regarding tumor control, no significant differences were found regarding bNED and overall and disease-specific survival (p = 0.61, p = 0.56, and p > 0.9999, respectively). No significant differences in acute and late GI (p = 0.16 and 0.64) and GU toxicity (p = 0.58 and 0.80) were observed.

Conclusions

We were unable to detect significant benefits in bNED or in early or late GI and GU side effects after GFM implantation.
KOMPARASI FAKTOR DOMINAN MEMPENGARUHI PERILAKU PEMBELIAN TIKET WISATAWAN NUSANTARA KE BALI (SEBELUM PANDEMI – ERA PANDEMI)
Authors: Dewi NGAS.
Published: January 2023

This article discusses the comparison of the dominant factors in the behaviour of nusantara tourists in purchasing plane tickets to the island of Bali Island, before and during the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak. The study is viewed from secondary data with data taken from two studies that have been conducted related to the behavioural factors of buying tickets for domestic tourists to Bali. The findings in this study explain that the dominant factor in the behaviour of domestic tourists buying airline tickets to Bali before the pandemic is psychological factors, namely (1) family factors, (2) self-desire factors, (3) security factors, (4) factors on timeliness, (5) the image of the airline, (6) the travel experience factor, (7) the knowledge factor of the airline, (8) the friendliness of airline services, (9) the availability of additional facilities, (10) the boarding service factor, and (11) baggage drop-off speed factor. Meanwhile, the dominant factors in the behaviour of domestic tourists buying tickets to Bali during the Covid-19 pandemic are (1) the influence factor from the closest people (other than family); (2) social strata factor; (3) the influence of the family; (4) the factor of family loyalty to this airline; (5) social status factor; (6) the family's trust factor in this airline; (7) social role factors; (8) the factor of feeling proud to have used this airline; (9) airline image factor. This study implies that the behaviour of domestic tourists tends to change due to the increase in prestige/social status gained by domestic tourists because not everyone can travel during the economic recession. It is hoped that airline companies will be able to optimize better service to prospective passengers who have social class (prestige) levels.

Published: January 2023

Este artigo analisa o desempenho dos principais estados brasileiros exportadores de soja em grão no comércio internacional, com ênfase na MATOPIBA, constituída por áreas do Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí e Bahia, no período de 1997 a 2020. Além desses, também foram considerados os estados Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina e São Paulo. Para tal, utilizaram-se os índices de Vantagem Comparativa Revelada de Vollrath (RCAV) e Posição Relativa (IPR) e construiu-se uma matriz de desempenho considerando a tendência linear da série histórica destes indicadores. Os resultados indicam que, dos estados que fazem parte da MATOPIBA, somente Bahia não possui RCAV. Todos os estados analisados são exportadores líquidos de soja, sendo que Bahia e Piauí possuem RCAV e IPR crescentes. A partir da matriz de desempenho, infere-se que todos os estados da MATOPIBA são eficientes, exceto Bahia, que possui potencial interno para tornar a soja significante em sua pauta exportadora.

Evidências crescentes sugerem que a farmacoterapia pode ser benéfica para alguns pacientes com transtorno da compulsão alimentar, um transtorno alimentar caracterizado por episódios repetitivos de consumo incontrolável de quantidades anormalmente grandes de alimentos sem comportamentos inadequados de perda de peso. Diante disso, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a eficácia de alternativas terapêuticas farmacológicas no tratamento do transtorno da compulsão alimentar. Assim, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática a partir da seleção de estudos científicos publicados nos anos de 2017 a 2022. Com base na análise e interpretação dos dados, concluiu-se que alternativas terapêuticas farmacológicas são recursos complementares tanto no tratamento do transtorno da compulsão alimentar como de sintomas de desordem alimentar e não substitutas. Nesse sentido, o uso de medicamentos tais como fluoxetina, lisdexamfetamina e simplicifolia, aliado a outros tratamentos, como a psicoterapia, podem ser eficazes para pacientes e suas necessidades específicas.
