En la actualidad, la mayoría de las grandes empresas han logrado su crecimiento mediante la aplicación de técnicas de marketing indirecto, incluyendo el neuromarketing el cual es un campo de investigación que utiliza técnicas de neurociencia para entender cómo funciona el cerebro humano en relación con la publicidad y el marketing, buscando de manera más efectiva los aspectos que un cliente busca en un producto, sin embargo, en las Pymes no es común la implementación de esta práctica, por tal motivo, se busca examinar cómo la aplicación de esta técnica influencia y beneficia en cuanto a la forma de promoción y ventas de una empresa, ya que de estos depende su desarrollo y viabilidad, además de la fidelización y atracción de nuevos clientes . Se utilizó un enfoque de investigación mixto de tipo descriptivo, que permitió acceder a información ya desarrollada por varios autores, la cual nos sirvió de guía en la aplicación de métodos de recopilación de información mediante encuestas en nuestra muestra poblacional establecida. Con lo que se puede determinar que el neuromarketing ayuda a las PYMES a reducir costos y a aumentar su rentabilidad. Al discutir mejor las necesidades, las empresas pueden enfocar sus esfuerzos en aquellos productos o servicios que realmente son relevantes para ellos, esto a su vez les permitiría reducir los costos de producción y aumentar su margen de beneficio.
Transparency and sustainability levels in port and terminal reports
Authors: De Faria Marcele Noronha , Pereira Newton Narciso , Cunha Darliane Ribeiro
Published: August 2023

The port sector has been under pressure from stakeholders to improve its environmental management. Port Environmental Performance Indicators (EPIs) rank ports and port terminal performance and promote transparency. This paper analyzes disclosure levels of global and specific Sustainability Report indicators published by Brazilian Public Ports (PPs) and Brazilian Private Use Terminals (PUTs), according to EPIs proposed and developed by the National Waterway Transport Agency. We also sought to measure the degree of informational transparency on institutional websites regarding environmental and sustainability issues and the frequency of published reports between 2017 and 2020. Two indicator blocks were studied, which were Global and Specific EPIs. Although many PPs and PUTs publicize environmental and sustainability actions on their websites, they need to formalize these actions into a single clear report so society can better access quick and precise information through standardized reports. The research in the sustainability reports showed that some organizations already address the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). However, the approach is still scarce, representing only 10% of the organizations analyzed for both types.

Published: August 2023

As novas formas de consumo do café impulsionaram o surgimento das cafeterias especiais, cujo número tem aumentado ano após ano como um reflexo da oportunidade de mercado proporcionada pelo consumo do café. A cidade do Recife/PE apresenta um número significativo de cafeterias especiais, sendo o tipo de cafeteria predominante na cidade. Para se manterem competitivos no mercado, esses empreendimentos precisam proteger e monetizar a inovação que desenvolvem, sendo a propriedade intelectual um meio para isso. Diante desse cenário, este estudo objetiva analisar se as cafeterias especiais da cidade do Recife/PE utilizam a propriedade intelectual como forma de proteger a inovação presente nos seus negócios. Para tanto, foram conceituadas inovação e gestão da inovação; propriedade intelectual, em especial marca e desenho industrial; as ondas do café e as cafeterias especiais, em especial as cafeterias especiais da cidade do Recife/PE. De abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa se utilizou do método de estudo de múltiplos casos em cafeterias especiais da cidade do Recife/PE, com a realização de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os achados da pesquisa revelaram a presença de inovações incrementais de produto, de processo e de marketing no setor de cafeterias especiais, as quais ampliam as vantagens competitivas desses empreendimentos. Quanto à propriedade intelectual, identificou-se o registro predominante em propriedade industrial de marca, desenho industrial e direito do autor. Apesar do desenvolvimento de novos produtos e serviços pelos empreendimentos, poucos foram os empreendedores que identificaram possíveis categorias de propriedade intelectual a serem adotadas em seu negócio. Embora a inovação esteja presente no setor, por falta de conhecimento, a propriedade intelectual é uma forma pouco utilizada para proteção da inovação gerada pelas cafeterias especiais.

Published: August 2023

O presente estudo teve como objetivo observar o value relevance do EBITDA Padronizado pela Comissão de Valores Mobiliários (CVM) e o EBITDA Divulgado nos Press Releases das companhias brasileiras de capital. Para realizar a análise se utilizou as informações reportadas pelas empresas entre os anos de 2012 e 2021, compondo assim um total de dez exercícios após a normatização do EBITDA. Para subdividir a amostra entre empresas que suavizam e não suavizam o EBITDA, se utilizou o modelo desenvolvido por Leuz, Nanda e Wysoki (2003), o qual observa o desvio padrão da variável de interesse em relação ao desvio padrão do lucro líquido. Por investigar a variabilidade dos dados ao longo de dez exercícios, se optou em utilizar dados em painéis balanceados, os quais totalizaram 820 observações, devido à presença de outliers, preferiu por utilizar de regressões robustas. Como resultados, a presente pesquisa constatou que o EBITDA Divulgado apresenta um maior índice de suavização que o Padronizado. No que tange a relevância, o EBITDA Divulgado apresentou um coeficiente positivo e significativo em todas as análises, enquanto o Padronizado não apresentou significância em nenhum teste. Ao analisar as amostras divididas entre suavização e não suavização se percebeu que os indicadores com indícios de suavização apresentam um conteúdo incremental superior àqueles que não suavizam.

Published: August 2023

Nickel oxide films have been widely studied as hole transport layers in perovskite solar cells because they present good chemical stability and nickel is abundant in nature. In this study, films were deposited using Magnetron Sputtering with a pulsed source. The NiOx films were deposited over an aluminum zinc oxide (AZO) film, which is non-toxic and cheap. The effects of varying the pulse duration on the deposition rate, film chemical composition, structure, optical and electrical characteristics were investigated. Films were produced in a chamber with pressures ranging from 3.06 to 4.01 mTorr. To activate the plasma, a 1500 VA, 600 V transformer was used, along with a 1.5 kVA/220 V single-phase voltage. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was used to determine the chemical composition of the NiOx films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was employed to analyze surface defects of the films. X-ray diffraction showed peaks at 34.20° and 72.28°, indicating the crystalline structure of nickel oxide. Optical properties of the films were obtained from UV-Vis-NIR spectra in the 200 to 2500 nm range. Films deposited with low pulses with 50 and 60 µs had transmittances of between 89 and 91% in the near infrared region. From the transmittance and reflectance data, the optical gap energies were calculated, which varied from 3.38 to 3.70 eV. In addition, the Urbach energy varied from 0.348 to 0.625 eV.

Published: August 2023

Introduction: Regional anesthesia is a technique widely used in medical practice to provide analgesia and anesthesia in a specific region of the body. Although it is considered safe and effective, it is not without complications and risks. Understanding and properly assessing these complications is critical for health care professionals involved in anesthesia practice to ensure patient safety and provide the best possible care. Objectives: The aim of this narrative review article is to analyze the complications and risks associated with regional anesthesia, highlighting their clinical manifestations, risk factors, prevention and management. Theoretical Background: Complications related to regional anesthesia can be categorized into 3 topics: technique-related complications, systemic complications, and complications specific to each nerve block technique. Technique-related complications include block failure, paresthesia, nerve injury, hematoma, infection, and vascular complications. Systemic complications may occur due to local anesthetic toxicity, such as cardiac arrhythmias, seizures, and respiratory depression. Methodology: This narrative review was based on the electronic databases of PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, with 4 descriptors: "complications", "risks", "regional anesthesia". The selected articles addressed the complications and risks associated with regional anesthesia in clinical studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and case reports. Final Results: Regional anesthesia is a widely used technique. Block failure, nerve injury, vascular complications, allergic reactions, local anesthetic toxicity and systemic complications are some of the complications identified. Several risk factors have been associated with these complications, highlighting the importance of careful preoperative assessment and proper selection of anesthetic technique. Prevention and proper management of complications are essential. This includes the use of proper techniques, continuous monitoring during the procedure, knowledge of the signs of local anesthetic toxicity, and readiness for immediate interventions.

An Inter-Country Critical Analysis of Online Studies on the Academic Writing in English of University Students Using the Toulmin Model
Authors: ALAMEDA ALLOA R.
Published: August 2023

This paper examined the claims or arguments of ten (10) published studies on academic writing problems of university students in different countries using the Toulmin model or method to determine whether their arguments are backed up by evidence or data, whether their arguments are strong, and what the common problems among the students in these countries are. The studies are limited to those only from 2019 until the present. Results showed that despite being published and peer-reviewed, most of the arguments used in the studies were only of type 2 under said classification, which includes the presence of one or more claims with simple justification or grounds (data, warrant, and backing) but no rebuttal. Only five include backing, only three have rebuttals, and only two have both. This means that most of the arguments are weak and may easily be defeated by another claim supported by its own data, rebuttal, backing, and counterargument. It is recommended that all the elements of the Toulmin method be used to produce strong arguments. It is also recommended that the Toulmin model be used by those who submit their studies for publication by journals and for these journals to use the said method to determine whether the claims of studies submitted to them are strong and convincing. Further recommendations also include the introduction of the Toulmin model and methodology to university students in their early years in the university and even in high school to aid them in their critical thinking and academic writing.
Social Impact of Multicultural Education on Indigenous Secondary Learners of Caraga Region
Authors: BALABA ROJEAN M.
Published: August 2023

This study aimed to investigate the social impact of multicultural education on Higaonon, Mamanwa, and Manobo secondary school learners of the Caraga Region. This study utilized a mixed method of research, particularly convergent parallel design, with a researcher-made questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. Three hundred twelve (12) participants consisting of one hundred (100) Higaonon, one hundred sixty (160) Manobo, and fifty-two (52) Mamanwa students answered the survey questionnaires. Findings revealed that Multicultural Education has a high impact on the attitudes, beliefs, and practices of indigenous learners. By engaging in multicultural education, learners learn to accept their own culture, which helps to enhance self-knowledge and self-development. Through multicultural education, indigenous learners have learned to appreciate and respect others despite cultural differences. Moreover, findings showed multicultural education had improved the communication skills of indigenous learners; these learners were able to meet and make new friends with non-indigenous learners. However, indigenous learners experienced bullying, which made them feel unwelcome and unrespected. IP learners claimed that poverty, dealing with IP learners, and bullying are the difficulties they have encountered in school. IP learners have learned how to use cellular phones and adapt to the latest music, fashion, and social media trends. Results have shown that multicultural education promotes and has instilled the importance of education among indigenous learners. Higaonon and Manobo learners, however, asserted that IP-related cultural activities were limited only to Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health (MAPEH) lessons, whereas Mamanwa learners claimed that no culture-related activities were conducted in school. Based on such findings, a proposed plan of action was made to solve the issues involving the impact and the undesirable experiences of the Caraga Region IP learners while enrolled in a multicultural education setting.

Authors: GELAGA JANINE SATORRE
Published: August 2023

This research aimed to analyze the conversation style used by former Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque in political interviews. Specifically, it aims to determine the turn-taking strategies used by former Sec. In political interviews, Roque identifies corresponding pragmatic power relations based on the dominant turn-taking strategies employedbyformer Sec. Inpoliticalinterviews, Roqueascertainstheoverallconversational style portrayed by former Sec. Roque, and glean the conversational style used by Sec. Roque. To achieve these, a descriptive research design was utilized. Five political interviews featuring Roque with accumulated airtime of three hours were transcribed to acquire on-hand data from the conversations. The conversation analysis revealed that Spokesperson Roque employed dominant turn-taking strategies such as overlapping, directness, and indirectness to control the conversation and assert his authority. He did not conform to the traditional manner of politicians, as he was straightforward in his utterances and did not use evasion when asked questions. Spokesperson Roque’s conversation style aimed to command attention, assert authority, talk upfront, and talk longer in political interviews. However, this style aligns differently with the mandate of being a spokesperson as promulgated in Executive Order No. 4, 2010, which emphasizes information sharing and trust building. Notably, Spokesperson Roque’s conversation style was like that of former President Duterte, which highlights the critical role that Presidential Spokespersons play in shaping public perception of the President and their administration. This study underscores the importance of understanding the complex dynamics that govern the relationships between Presidential Spokespersons and the leaders they serve, particularly in modern political communication.

Unlocking the potential of nutrition labels: A look at the power of (digital) nudges
Authors: Tezçi Buse
Published: August 2023

Nutrition labels on food packages play an important role in influencing consumer behavior since their first emergence. However, past research showed that there are limitations to their effectiveness as some consumers do not benefit from them as much as others. A major reason to that is some consumers struggle to interpret the nutritional information listed on the labels, making it difficult to make healthier food choices. To overcome the limitations, digital nudges are being proposed as a solution, making User Experience (UX) an important field in nutrition labeling as the design of effective digital nudges pass through good usability. Digital nudges, personalized recommendation systems can be leveraged and, affective and cognitive UX design strategies can be employed to make it easier for consumers to understand the nutritional information and make healthier food choices. This paper presents a perspective on nutritional labels by proposing to repurpose them as digital nudges, with examples from the literature to support the idea.

I bioformulati sono prodotti contenenti microrganismi opportunatamente selezionati e per i quali sono state individuate specifiche potenzialità benefiche, come valida alternativa ai fitofarmaci. Il loro utilizzo sulle colture si è dimostrato sempre più utile a mitigare gli impatti negativi sul suolo, dovuti ad esempio alle pratiche di agricoltura intensiva, ai cambiamenti climatici e al massiccio uso di sostanze di sintesi chimica.

Keloids are scars that extend beyond the original area of skin damage. They can develop after minor skin trauma in predisposed individuals. Many factors play a role in keloid scar formation, with certain systemic diseases being a risk factor for their development. Diabetes mellitus is a disease that affects a variety of organ systems including the skin. Multiple skin conditions have been implicated directly and indirectly with diabetes mellitus and their presence would often be a sign of insulin resistance or poor glycemic control. Here we present a case of hypertrophic keloid developing in a patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The patient had no prior skin trauma, nor did she develop the lesions at the sites of insulin injection. This raises the question of whether hypertrophic keloids might be associated with diabetes mellitus and whether recommendations for DM screening and guidance on use of insulin injections in those patients should be put in place.

Background: GLP-1 is a peptide hormone related to the glucagon superfamily and shares a significant amino acid sequence with glucagon. The glucagon superfamily peptides are secreted from the small intestine, pancreas, brain, and peripheral nerves. Furthermore, GLP-1 controls intestinal motility and decreases gastric motility. It also has an effect of satiety, which may be attributed to its effect on the gut, but it also has a direct effect on the hypothalamic feeding centers. Aim: This study aims to assess the population awareness level regarding GLP-1 prescribing in PHCC in Abha City. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional web-based study was used. An online questionnaire was developed by the study researchers based on a literature review and after consultation of the field experts. The questionnaire of this study included participants’ demographic data, medical history, and GLP-1 use and satisfaction. Also, it covered participants’ awareness regarding GLP-1 and its effects. Results: A total of 160 participants who used GLP-1 completed the study survey. Participants’ ages ranged from 18 to more than 50 years with a mean age of 34.8 ± 13.9 years old. Exactly 89 (55.6%) participants were females. The most used GLP-1 were Saxenda (39.4%), Ozempic (37.5%), and Trulicity (14.4%) while 8.8% used a combination of them. Exactly 127 (79.4%) participants had an overall poor awareness level regarding GLP-1 while only 33 (20.6%) had a good awareness level. Conclusion: In conclusion, the current study revealed that a significant portion of diabetic and obese persons use GLP-1 for reducing weight and controlling blood glucose levels. On the other hand, their awareness level regarding the drugs was unsatisfactory. Keywords: GLP-1, diabetes, obesity, awareness, use, population, knowledge, Saudi Arabia

Background: Suicide risk factors can be used to develop tools for suicide attempt prediction and prevention. Objectives: We aimed to design a model to evaluate the risk of suicide related to socio-economic, demographic, health, and drug dependency factors. Methods: This case-control study was conducted in a 15-65-year-old population of Golestan province, Iran. The case group included 414 individuals with a history of suicide in 2019, and the control group had 408 individuals without suicide attempts. Demographic, psychosocial health, and drug dependency data were collected. Modeling was carried out using multivariate logistic regression. The performance of suicide-predicting models was assessed, and a nomogram for the probability of suicide was drawn. Results: A multivariate logistic regression model with age, gender, education level, mother's education level, marital status, life satisfaction, membership in cyberspace, sleep disorders, alcohol abuse, having suicidal thoughts, the interaction of gender with life satisfaction, and the interaction of gender with mother's education level was the best predicting model of suicide attempt (AUC = 0.934, CI: 0.91 - 0.95). The variables of father's education level, occupation, job satisfaction, household size, financial status, regular exercise, guardianship status, history of self-harm, history of suicide attempt in the family, smoking and drug abuse had no significant relationship with suicide attempt. 5.1. Conclusions: The results suggest that designed models can help mental health service providers to identify high-risk individuals early. So we can better manage suicide and reduce its economic, social, and health burdens.

Background: Alcohol consumption is one of the most common problematic issues globally that usually causes high costs for the health system. Also, schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric disorder responsible for a heavy burden on healthcare providers. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate alcohol use and alcoholism in schizophrenia in Iran. Methods: A cross-sectional (descriptive-analytical) study was conducted on 400 individuals with schizophrenia referred to the psychiatry hospital of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences. History of alcohol consumption and the criteria of alcohol use disorder according to DSM-5-TR were sought during the interviews using the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). Results: Of the patients, 45.5% had drunk alcohol at some point in their lives, 23% had low-risk alcohol consumption, and 10% experienced high-risk consumption. In addition, 1.5% of our sample suffered from alcoholism, according to the AUDIT. Conclusions: The results of our study in Iran regarding alcohol use in schizophrenia are more similar to those of Western countries than eastern countries. The ratio of alcohol use in schizophrenia compared with the general population was even higher in our study than in western countries.

Published: August 2023

Background: It has been shown that some cancers express the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Several variables influence bladder cancer prognosis, including stage, grade, and gene expression. Objectives: We used immunohistochemistry to measure the prevalence and prognostic significance of EGFR expression in bladder tumors in our population. Methods: Thirty bladder tumors were the subjects of this cross-sectional study. To evaluate the biological behavior of the tumors, histopathological analysis was performed. We carried out EGFR immunohistochemical staining to evaluate gene expression. Results: EGFR was expressed in 25 (83.3%) patients. Expression of this biomarker was independent of tumor characteristics such as lymphatic invasion, muscle invasion, and tumor grade and stage (P value > 0.05). Conclusions: Remembering each patient's tumor characteristics determine that prognosis is crucial. The prognostic value of EGFR expression in predicting aggressive behavior in bladder tumors is marginal, but it is necessary to evaluate therapeutic response.
The Effects of Offline Alcohol Advertisement Near Bus Stops and Offline Alcohol Advertisement Regulations on Alcohol Consumption Among University Students in Groningen
Authors: Salsabila Alisa
Published: August 2023

The European Commission has reported that the Netherlands placed first for weekly alcohol consumption of 47.3% of its population in 2019. Previous research has found how offline alcohol advertisements and offline alcohol regulations have a role in influencing alcohol consumption, especially among university students. Groningen is one of the cities in the Netherlands where one in four people is a university student. This research aims to analyze the effects of offline alcohol advertisements near bus stops, as one of the main forms of transportation for university students is the bus and the effects of offline alcohol advertisements on alcohol consumption among university students in Groningen. Offline alcohol advertisement is also categorized into three types: offline alcohol advertisement with price discounts, product advertisement, and event marketing. There has also been research on how existing offline alcohol advertisement regulations increased online advertising effectiveness. This research also did a similar experiment and saw the effect on alcohol consumption. This research used the quantitative approach, and the data was collected through questionnaires spread out to 208 university students aged 18-24 years old, currently studying in Groningen. The result showed that offline alcohol advertisements with price discounts and product advertisements near bus stops positively affected alcohol consumption among university students in Groningen. It also showed that offline alcohol advertisement regulations did not significantly affect alcohol consumption among university students in Groningen, although it surprisingly increased the online alcohol advertisement effectiveness. Therefore, it is suggested that the foundation, which is responsible for the alcohol advertisement regulations, use this data for future references of the regulations. Future research could take the sample from the Netherlands, not only in Groningen, to make it more applicable.
