Resumen Objetivo: analizar la prevalencia de tuberculosis, coronavirus, condiciones crónicas y vulnerabilidades en inmigrantes y refugiados en Brasil. Método: se trata de un estudio transversal, del tipo encuesta electrónica, realizado con migrantes internacionales durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Para el análisis se aplicó estadística descriptiva, con cálculo de medidas de posición y dispersión. En cuanto a las variables categóricas, se estimaron las frecuencias relativas y absolutas. Resultados: participaron del estudio 553 inmigrantes y refugiados, la prevalencia de tuberculosis era del 3,07%, de COVID-19 del 7,2% y de condiciones crónicas del 27,3%. Entre las vulnerabilidades, el 32% reportó desempleo, el 37,6% emigró a Brasil por la situación social de su país y el 33,6% vivía en un asilo o albergue. Conclusión: la tuberculosis, las enfermedades crónicas y el COVID-19 fueron más prevalentes en inmigrantes y refugiados que en la población general. Por tratarse de una población que aún tiene grandes dificultades para acceder a los servicios de salud y sistemas de protección social, el estudio contribuirá, con base en la evidencia, a las políticas públicas, la atención de enfermería y la incorporación de nuevas rutinas en el servicio.

Published: February 2023

Abstract Objective: to evaluate the use of a renal health application by kidney transplant recipients. Method: a retrospective, observational study with a sample composed of individuals registered in the kidney transplant section of the application from July of 2018 to April of 2021. Demographic data, data entry, time of use, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, creatinine, medication schedules, appointments, and tests were the variables collected. Descriptive analysis of the data was performed. Results: eight hundred and twenty-three downloads of the application were identified, and 12.3% of those were registered as kidney transplant recipients, the majority from southeastern Brazil (44.9%), 36±11 years old, and female (59.1%). Of the sample, 35.1% entered information such as creatinine (62%), weight (58.2%), and blood pressure (51.8%). Most used the application for one day (63.3%) and 13.9% for more than one hundred days. Those who used it for more than one day (36.7%) recorded weight (69%), medication intake (65.5%) and creatinine (62%), and scheduled appointments (69%). Conclusion: the kidney transplant recipient section of the Renal Health application generated interest in the young population, but showed low adherence throughout the assessed months. These results offer a relevant perspective on the implementation of mHealth technologies in kidney transplantation.

Resumo Objetivo: identificar o perfil sociodemográfico e as características da violência interpessoal contra a pessoa idosa no primeiro ano da pandemia COVID-19 em uma capital da região sudeste do Brasil. Método: pesquisa descritiva, exploratória, com delineamento transversal a partir da análise das notificações de casos suspeitos ou confirmados de violência contra a pessoa idosa, ocorridas entre março de 2020 e março de 2021. Foi realizada a análise estatística univariada e teste exato de Fisher (p<0,05). Resultados: houve 2681 notificações no período. As principais vítimas foram pessoas com idade entre 60 e 64 anos, do sexo feminino, brancas e com baixa escolaridade. As ocorrências tiveram maior frequência nos domicílios. As violências físicas e psicológicas foram as mais comuns, com uso de força física/espancamento e ameaça, respectivamente. O agressor era, em sua maioria, do sexo masculino, mais jovem do que a vítima, geralmente filho ou parceiro íntimo. As agressões ocorreram mais de uma vez e foram motivadas por conflitos geracionais. Houve baixo encaminhamento para órgãos de proteção a pessoa idosa. Conclusão: o perfil sociodemográfico encontrado evidencia vítimas vulneráveis, sujeitas a muitas formas de violência e com potenciais riscos à integralidade de sua saúde.
Capitalismo Consciente e Construção de Relações Humanizadas: Um Estudo em uma Cooperativa de Crédito sob a Perspectiva do Sensemaking
Authors: Furlanetto Célia Dorigan de Matos , Weymer Alex Sandro Quadros , Matos Raquel Dorigan
Published: February 2023

RESUMO Objetivo: o objetivo deste estudo foi compreender de que maneira o propósito de uma organização cooperativa de crédito com foco na humanização das relações financeiras pode ser institucionalizado a partir da interpretação e da ação dos stakeholders. Marco teórico: tal objetivo foi analisado à luz de uma perspectiva integrada dos conceitos de sensemaking, construção de relações humanizadas, capitalismo consciente e organizing, o que permitiu uma reflexão contextualizada e não linear sobre o fenômeno estudado, indo além de parâmetros formais e tangíveis das expectativas manifestas das diretrizes estratégicas da cooperativa. Métodos: a estratégia de pesquisa é um estudo de caso, por apresentar a singularidade de um fenômeno específico, com utilização da análise de conteúdo como técnica de análise a partir da triangulação dos dados provenientes de entrevistas semiestruturadas, observação participante e análise documental. Resultados: foi possível verificar que a legitimidade do propósito estratégico da cooperativa passa por um processo interpretativo dos indivíduos, com seus diferentes papéis que, ao interagirem entre si, proporcionam base para ações rumo à incorporação do propósito com foco em relações humanizadas, por se tratar de um processo de construção social e retrospectivo de ressignificação a partir de parâmetros estratégicos delineadores de comportamentos. Conclusões: este estudo proporciona um olhar ampliado de um fenômeno específico (relações financeiras humanizadas) em organizações orientadas por princípios particulares e universais (cooperativas de crédito) que, ao mesmo tempo que competem com instituições financeiras não cooperativas (bancos), precisam equilibrar interesses econômicos e sociais, sem deixarem de ser competitivas.

Published: February 2023

RESUMO Objetivo: a presente pesquisa analisa como ocorrem as definições regulatórias em um campo com participantes que defendem lógicas múltiplas nas aquisições públicas de obras e serviços de engenharia de grande vulto, com foco no seguro-garantia, além de discutir a inclusão de cláusula de retomada e do percentual em relação ao valor do contrato. Marco teórico: este trabalho está inserido na discussão sobre como é constituída uma lógica institucional, que orienta a ação e a estruturação organizacional do campo, dada a competição entre múltiplas lógicas. Método: a pesquisa está focada nas discussões pertinentes ao campo. A coleta de dados foi feita por meio de levantamento documental da análise de discursos na Câmara dos Deputados, bem como entrevistas com atores relevantes do campo por meio de roteiro semiestruturado. Resultados: os conflitos entre lógicas são resolvidos por meio de combinações com outras lógicas do campo, enfatizando o poder de coalizões de atores para definir temas de regulamentação. O estudo apontou a forma como os participantes conseguiram reduzir a influência da lógica defendida pelo mercado de seguros, em favor do interesse de construtoras na redação do projeto, mostrando que lógicas de mercado podem também entrar em contradição entre si. Finalmente, constatou-se que elementos exógenos à lógica em construção são fundamentais na sua formulação. Conclusões: o estudo indica que a lógica institucional que se torna prevalente em um campo complexo resulta da imposição de uma coalizão de atores, combinando elementos de diferentes lógicas. Entretanto, as coalizões podem ser distintas para cada questão examinada.

RESUMO Objetivo observar, na linguagem em afasia de sujeitos adultos, a constituição de sentidos, considerando a (re)organização enunciativa na leitura e na escrita. Métodos pesquisa qualitativa com método aplicado e exploratório e perspectiva de análise enunciativa sobre a linguagem, tendo as noções de forma e sentido como base analítica. Foi realizada uma atividade com três sujeitos com afasia (Bir, Cr e Aul), integrantes do Grupo Interdisciplinar de Convivência (GIC), formado por participantes com e sem afasia. Tal atividade consistiu em (re)organizar quadrinhos de uma história, visando constituir sentido, uma vez que a leitura/escrita de textos são habilidades comumente comprometidas nas afasias. Resultados a categoria de tempo crônico mostra-se fundante para elaboração das narrativas dos sujeitos com afasia. Entretanto, eles encontraram formas distintas de sustentação de sentidos, mas sempre atrelados a experiências provenientes da relação entre homem e mundo. Conclusão as narrativas foram organizadas/construídas pelos participantes, tendo por base as imagens (base formal) - uma vez comprometida a habilidade de leitura de textos verbais. Bir, Cr e Aul usaram o tempo crônico como eixo organizacional de suas narrativas e suas histórias em quadrinhos, demonstrando que promovem leitura e escrita ao se considerar o viés enunciativo de análise da linguagem.
USING PHYSICS-INFORMED NEURAL NETWORKS TO SOLVE FOR PERMEABILITY FIELD UNDER TWO-PHASE FLOW IN HETEROGENEOUS POROUS MEDIA
Authors: Yang Mingyuan , Foster John T.
Published: February 2023

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have recently been applied to a wide range of computational physical problems. In this paper, we use PINNs to solve an inverse two-phase flow problem in heterogeneous porous media where only sparse direct and indirect measurements are available. The forward two-phase flow problem is governed by a coupled system of partial differential equations (PDEs) with initial and boundary conditions. As for inverse problems, the solutions are assumed to be known at scattered locations but some coefficients or variable functions in the PDEs are missing or incomplete. The idea is to train multiple neural networks representing the solutions and the unknown variable function at the same time such that both the underlying physical laws and the measurements can be honored. The numerical results show that our proposed method is able to recover the incomplete permeability field in different scenarios. Moreover, we show that the method can be used to forecast the future dynamics with the same format of loss function formulation. In addition, we employ a neural network structure inspired by the deep operator networks (DeepONets) to represent the solutions which can potentially shorten the time of the training process.

Published: February 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, a través de una mirada panóptica del fenómeno equino, si el conjunto de actividades ecuestres, dotadas de organicidad, pueden convertirse en vector de desarrollo multidimensional de la región. El diseño metodológico que hemos utilizado en el trabajo de campo, para recopilar los datos, se ha basado fundamentalmente en entrevistas a actores relevantes relacionados con las actividades ecuestres de Cerro Largo (Uruguay) y observación de eventos, registrando detalles relacionados con la denominación, el carácter y la práctica esencial de cada “actividad ecuestre”, componentes del perfil tipológico que hemos definido para caracterizarla.
Transcurrido el proceso de investigación - en fases alternadas de análisis y de síntesis, observando detalles y mirando el conjunto, en un viaje permanente de ida y vuelta entre los datos empíricos y la teoría, entendemos que la pregunta inicial acerca de las posibilidades del equino para transformarse en un vector de desarrollo, tiene una respuesta positiva.  Sin embargo, es una respuesta provisoria que para transformarse en una posibilidad real, deberá trabajarse para transformar las potenciales barreras en elementos dinamizadores de los procesos de desarrollo planteados.

Published: February 2023

La región Caribe y en particular el departamento de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina, constituyen un espacio que tiene grandes potencialidades para llegar a convertirse en una región con mayores niveles de competitividad e innovación. No obstante, en el caso del archipiélago, en la actualidad no cuenta con herramientas de direccionamiento que faciliten la consolidación de un Sistema Regional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (SRCTeI) que sirva como soporte para la operacionalización de políticas efectivas de desarrollo productivo, competitividad y fomento de la cultura para el emprendimiento. La presente investigación, busca por  medio de una revisión de la literatura realizar un análisis con el fin de tener una visión amplia de la situación actual del departamento. La investigación revela que el Sistema Regional de CTeI del archipiélago está compuesta por pocos actores, pero donde cabe destacar que del modelo cuádruple hélice, los híbridos realizan y participan activamente en actividades de CTeI con la finalidad de promover y fortalecer el sistema regional de innovación en la isla. Por otra parte, es alarmante el insuficiente aporte que genera la hélice empresas en este sistema; ya que se logra evidenciar que la isla no cuenta con clústeres ni con sociedades corporativas que apoyen y/o favorezcan de manera positiva la articulación del SRI. Por lo anterior, en este artículo se propone que el departamento necesita fortalecer la articulación de los diferentes sectores económicos estratégicos en el corto, mediano y largo plazo, priorizando en un primer momento el desarrollo de los sectores del turismo, pesquero y agropecuario, a partir de la intervención de las actividades de CTeI.

Using mobility measures to explain short-run economic performance during COVID’s first wave
Authors: Barja Gover
Published: February 2023

People’s mobility behavior and self-correcting economic forces are shown to be key variables in explaining the observed contraction and recovery of the Bolivian economy during Covid’s first wave. ARMAX models are used to explain the growth rate of the monthly index of economic activity in terms of changes in the rate of mobility measures produced by Google, which are argued to capture the complex interactive dynamics of Covid epidemiology, Covid policy and people’s own decisions to minimize health risks, however generating a trade-off with inevitable economic sacrifice, thus affecting aggregate economic activity.

Authors: Erarslan Ilkay , Yilmazcan Osman
Published: February 2023

Purpose- The personnel involved in the factors of production in economic enterprises operating for the purpose of producing goods and / or services; The process of determining the wages and salaries to be received together with the need for training and career planning by being regularly evaluated every year differs in terms of businesses. The common denominator of the environment of trust and efficiency is the sense of justice that the employees will feel towards the enterprise. One of the main parameters in ensuring the justice environment is the career planning/promotion of the employees and the realization of the salaries and wages they will receive in accordance with objective criteria. The aim of this study is to examine the methods and approaches used in the application of these criteria in industrial processes and to introduce the application model.
Methodology- In this study, the application model of multinational companies inspired by Peter Drucker's management by objectives method, the application of the operating budget of various enterprises, job descriptions, staff qualifications, target determination, final evaluation and operating wage increase rates to the personnel in the management application were examined.
Findings- The results obtained, The highest increase rate was determined by the board of directors of the enterprise and the differences were defined according to the success grades of the employees; It shows that the decisions of the board of directors of human resources are reflected to the personnel by applying a program and by taking the evaluations of the relevant manager.
Conclusion- The application of the model introduced in the research makes it possible to optimize primarily the business objectives as well as the employee objectives. All evaluations regarding the personnel are made depending on the objective conditions, and the consent of the personnel is sought in the decision processes.For future studies, the effects of these applied methods on employees' perception of organizational justice can be examined.

Do cryptocurrencies have the potential to mitigate the impact of sanctions
Authors: Ozdemir Levent
Published: February 2023

Purpose- Sanctions, as an alternative to the use of military force, are used as a means of diplomatic coercion for the target country to abandon some of its decisions or avoid some possible practices. While half a century ago, sanctions included issues such as trade and travel restrictions and arms embargo, today the form and content of sanctions have changed significantly. In the last decade, most of the sanctions imposed on some states, especially to Iran and the Russian Federation, are financial sanctions. These financial sanctions, it is aimed to cut the target country's ties with the global financial markets, to disrupt the cash/capital inflow and outflow to the target country, to prevent trade by removing them from global payment systems such as SWIFT and to restrict some activities of central banks. However, the issue of whether cryptocurrencies, which we have heard frequently since 2009, can be used as a means of mitigating or overcoming the financial sanctions is frequently on the agenda. In this context, we analyze whether cryptocurrencies can be used to mitigate or overcome the financial sanctions imposed on the target country.
Methodology- The size of the financial sanctions applied by the USA, Canada, Australia, Japan and EU countries against the Russian Federation, after the war started in Ukraine on 24 February 2022 and the foreign money inflow/outflow volume needed by the Russian Federation as a result of its removal from the SWIFT system are compared with the volume of cryptocurrencies owned by the Russian Federation.
Findings- The blockchain database system, which underpins cryptocurrencies, still struggles with a number of challenges. Especially the ability to increase the capacity (scalability) of the blockchain network is one of these problems. The scalability problem hinders the effective use of cryptocurrencies by the Russian Federation. In addition, when the financial transaction capacity and the size of the sanctions applied to the Russian Federation are compared with the crypto market size of the Russian Federation, it is seen that there is a significant difference in sizes.
Conclusion- In today's conditions, cryptocurrencies stay away from the capacity to mitigate or overcome the financial sanctions applied to countries with large trading capacities such as the Russian Federation and to be used as a means of payment. However, in the coming years, in the case of developments in cryptocurrency technologies, cryptocurrencies have the capacity to be used to circumvent financial sanctions.

Budget myopia
Authors: Dursun Gunay Deniz
Published: February 2023

Purpose- Myopia, which is defined as the inability to see clearly near and far, can be defined as the inability to determine the future projection and possible results of the enterprise in terms of business management. Budgets, which are the numerical form of the future plans of businesses, facilitate the decision-making process of the management and also help to determine new strategies. The inability to clearly see the opportunities and threats that may arise in the future for various reasons may lead to budget myopia. The aim of this research is to examine the situations that cause budget myopia in enterprises and to address the solution suggestions.
Methodology- Within the scope of the research, it is planned to conceptualize budget myopia based on the concepts of business blindness and marketing myopia previously mentioned in the literature, and to determine the internal and external factors that may cause this problem. In addition, it is aimed to contribute to the literature in this field by discussing the solution suggestions for each possible cause.
Findings- Business managers' focus on current income and expenditure, economic uncertainties, miscommunication between business departments, managers' vision, lack of alignment between strategic plan and budget, lack of an (effective) internal audit unit, uncontrolled growth, failure to keep up with technological transformation, failure to recognize new competitors, and lack of creative thinking are identified as factors that lead to budget myopia.
Conclusion- Budget myopia causes businesses to be unable to accurately and rationally predict future revenue and expenditure forecasts. For this reason, firstly, it is necessary for the enterprise to objectively reveal its current situation and determine budget criteria in line with its strategies. An effective internal audit system is needed to manage budget monitoring and changes in forecasts.

Re-analysis of the EU public debt crises with NARX
Authors: Tosun Tayfun Tuncay
Published: February 2023

Purpose- This paper employs the public debt equation of motion, which covers variables that represent a country's competitiveness, such as past public debt, GDP, external balance, real exchange rate, real interest, and inflation, to estimate the public debt of Southern EU countries (Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Spain). The paper is designed to test whether the public debt equation of motion (see Croce and Ramon, 2003; IMF, 2013; Chirwa and Odhiambo, 2018), which is characterized by significant variables representing competitiveness in macroeconomics, can statistically account for the public debt of Southern EU countries after the monetary union period including the EU public debt crisis. Consequently, based on the findings, it will be determined whether the competitiveness problems of Southern EU countries are important in the EU public debt crisis.
Methodology- The analysis is performed with the nonlinear autoregressive network with exogenous inputs (NARX) with quarterly data for the period from 2005Q1 to 2021Q4. In NARX, which is a dynamic non-parametric neural network used in time series analysis, the prediction performance of the model is more robust than other neural network models, as the gradient descent approaches the local minimum perfectly (see Lin et al., 1996; Gao and Er, 2005; Diaconescu, 2008). However, it is important to define the parameters correctly in NARX to obtain effective results. In the study, parameters are defined according to the minimum Mean Squared Error values. The feedback Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm, which produces fast and effective results, is used as the training algorithm. The performance of the training algorithm for robustness is compared with testing and validation.
Findings- The analysis results reveal that public debt in Southern EU countries is statistically explained by the public debt equation of motion with a confidence ratio of over 95%.
Conclusion- This result implies that the public debt problem in Southern EU countries is associated with their competitiveness (see also Hall and Soskice, 2001; Dallago and Guglielmetti, 2011; Hall, 2012; Lane, 2012; Gros, 2012; Iversen et al., 2016; De Ville and Vermeiven, 2016; Frieden and Walter, 2017). In addition, the analysis goes beyond parametric analyzes that relate economic growth or a few variables with public debt and reveals the importance of inclusive variables and non-parametric analyzes in the estimation of public debt.

Do hot money movements drive Turkey s housing prices
Authors: Yilmaz Tuncer
Published: February 2023

Purpose- The aim of this study is to investigate the existence and extent of the impact of "hot money" inflows on Turkey's real estate market, which causes the expansion of the monetary base in the markets. The use of data specific to the Turkish market, which has an emerging market economy and where housing production and sales are significant as an important macroeconomic indicator in this market, where the right to acquire housing has been stretched to foreigners in recent years and where excessive short-term capital flows are preferred, reveals the importance of the study. For this purpose, the "Housing Price Index" indicators created by the CBRT to monitor price changes in the housing market were used to measure the situation of housing markets in Turkey in recent years and to measure the possible effects of short-term international capital inflows on real estate prices.
Methodology- As a method in the study, firstly, the changes in the monthly data between January 2010 and August 2022 belonging to both hot money and the Housing Price Index compared to the previous period were calculated, and then these data were seasonally adjusted. Then, the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) method, which has the equation property of Cointegration Regression, was used to learn the existence and extent of the effect of hot money on real estate prices in the long term.
Findings- In the analysis, it was found that hot money had a significant effect on housing prices at the level of 5% (p=0.012). The results of the analysis provide evidence that hot money is an important factor in determining housing prices in Turkey.
Conclusion- The study found that due to the size of hot money and the fact that it is a short-term investment, it pulls real estate prices upwards and causes volatility. In addition, the results revealed that excessive liquidity caused by short-term international capital inflows drives the change in real estate prices by increasing it and that a long-term relationship between these two variables is evident.

Purpose- For too long, the performance of the Jordanian economy has been dissapointing. During the period 2010-2020, the mean annual growth rate in real Gross Domestic product (GDP) was equal to 2.0 percent. In addition, the overall unemployment rate increased from 12.5 percent in 2010 to 23.2 percent in 2020. To decrease the doublie-digit unemployment, any growth strategy requires a good understanding of the characteristics of the Jordanian economy. In other words, increasing the profit share in a wage-led economy, and increasing the wage share in a profit-led economy will both have negative consequences to economic growth. Therefore, it important to identify whether the Jordanian economic regime is wage-led or profit-led.
Methodology- This paper investigates the effect of changes in the functional income distribution on economic growth in Jordan during the period 1990-2020. An autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach is used to assess the presence of the long-run relationship between changes in income distribution and aggregate demand.
Findings- Based on the estimated results, it is argued that the the demand regime in the Jordanian economy Jordan is wage-led. In other words, an increase in the wage-share leads to higher economic growth.
Conclusion- Given the challenge of unemployment, the Jordanian government and the leaders of the private sector should not allow the supply and demand sides of the labor market determine wages. The economy needs pro-labor institutional reforms to realize strong and sustainable economic growth rates.

Background: Korea recently established 70 emergency medical service areas. However, there are many concerns that medical resources for stroke could not be evenly distributed through the country. We aimed to compare the treatment quality and outcomes of acute stroke among the emergency medical service areas.Methods: This study analyzed the data of 28,800 patients admitted in 248 hospitals which participated in the 8th acute stroke quality assessment by Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service. Individual hospitals were regrouped into emergency service areas according to the address of the location. Assessment indicators and fatality were compared by the service areas. We defined the appropriate hospital by the performance of intravenous thrombolysis.Results: In seven service areas, there were no hospitals which received more than 10 stroke patients for 6 months. In nine service areas, there were no patients who underwent intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Among 167 designated emergency medical centers, 50 hospitals (29.9%) responded that IVT was impossible 24 hours a day. There are 97 (39.1%) hospitals that meet the definitions of appropriate hospital. In 23 service areas (32.9%) had no appropriate or feasible hospitals. The fatality of service areas with stroke centers were 6.9% within 30 days and 15.6% within 1 year from stroke onset than those without stroke centers (7.7%, 16.9%, respectively).Conclusions: There was a wide regional gap in the medical resource and the quality of treatments for acute stroke among emergency medical service areas in Korea. The poststroke fatality rate of the service areas which have stroke centers or appropriate hospitals were significantly low.

Published: February 2023

Objective: To investigate, through scientific literary findings, the effects of occupational stress on interpersonal relationships in the work environment. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review, with a descriptive and qualitative approach, carried out through a survey in the Scielo, Pubmed and Lilacs databases, with the words indexed in the DeCs: Psychology, Occupational Stress and Burnout Syndrome. As well as the Boolean operator ‘’AND’’ to perform the crossing between the descriptors. Articles related to the proposed theme, published between the years 2016 to 2021, available in full, with no language restriction; in addition to theses, dissertations and monographs. Results and discussions: The findings of the scientific literature exposed in this research could show that occupational stress has a total impact on interpersonal relationships and on emotional exhaustion, constituting a network conducive to the emergence and development of Burnout syndrome. Final considerations: The research included in this study could unanimously prove that occupational stress leads to a decline in interpersonal and organizational relationships, which directly compromises the mental health of professionals, generating a risk of harm to the health of the worker, with the syndrome of Burnout is the most prevalent pathology in this context.

Introduction: Considering that the cell phone and/or smartphones had become part of the human being and thus brought problems to people’s health. Objective: To investigate the existing relationship between the use of mobile telephone devices and the health problems of the user, focusing on musculoskeletal injuries of the cervical spine and hand and as hypotheses had the existence or not of this relationship. Methodology: A field study, cross-sectional, with a quantitative approach, of the descriptive type, was carried out in March and April 2019 with academics from the Physiotherapy course at Centro Universitário de João Pessoa- Unipê. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire that explored questions related to socio-demographic data, the reasons why the devices are used, the quantification of hours of use per day and the postures adopted, among others. Discussions: The data were analyzed and described through tabulation in Microsoft Excel version 2016 through simple descriptive statistics and in that same program, graphs and tables were constructed for a better display of the results that were confronted with the scientific literature. The sample was mostly female, single, brown, with income between one and five minimum wages and right-handed. Conclusion: There are reasons for this relationship to exist and that the problems arising from this interaction continue to grow since users, despite feeling pain, heaviness, numbness and tingling, among others, do not abandon their devices and because it is a theme that involves the world, it needs to be special attention from the scientific community.

Odorous gaseous such as ammonia and hydrogen sulphide produced by anaerobic bacteria are emitted when palm oil mill effluent (POME) is treated via anaerobic digestion. The Department of Environment (DOE) under the jurisdiction of the Air Division has proposed an odour emission limit of 12,000OUm-3 at source sample for Malaysian palm oil mills recently. The objective of this paper is to investigate the odour concentration at effluent treatment area within palm oil mills which practise different types of common POME treatment systems such as Open Ponds Treatment, Covered Lagoon and Digester Tank. The odour source grabbed samples from the respective treatment plants were assessed according to MS 1963:2007 Air Quality – determination of odour concentration by dynamic olfactometry. In addition in-situ odour concentration surrounding the respective project sites have been measured based on enhanced procedures adapted from VDI3940 Grid Method. The survey results showed that odour emitted from Open Ponds Treatment was having highest concentration while Digester Tank was having the lowest concentration due to quarantine factor. None of the observations comply the DOE proposal. Thus, alternative approaches need to be counter proposed in the legislation drafting so that the millers compliance could be ensured while avoid the public sensory annoyance complaints.

The aim of the work is to experimentally study the relationship between two main metacognitive processes: meta-thinking and meta-memory. Its relevance is due to the central role of these processes in the entire metacognitive organization of personality. The hypothesis of the study is the assumption of the existence of regular relationships and interactions between them. The following methods were used: the R. Dixon—D. Haltcha method for the diagnosis of meta-memory, the author's method for the diagnosis of meta-thinking, a specially developed battery of cognitive tasks and their metacognitive control. The sample included a total of 182 people (96 men and 86 women; aged 18 to 56 years; M = 32.22, SD = 3.42); students of Yaroslavl universities and IT specialists. It is established that there are multiple interrelations and interactions between these processes. They are manifested, firstly, in the presence of a correlation between them; secondly, in the existence of mutual influences of both these processes on each other; thirdly, in the asymmetry of their determinative influences, consisting in the fact that the influence of meta-thinking on meta-memory is expressed in a more explicit form than the reverse influence; fourth, that there is a “divergent” type of interaction between them, explicated by the method of factor experiment and testifying to their mutually reinforcing that is facilitating interaction.
