Authors: Lima José Jerônimo de Menezes , Redaelli Emir José , Dalpiccol Charles , Baldi Leandro Goulart , Nunes Lúcia Arlete Machado , Fagundes Luciani Coimbra , Schulz Martin Ricardo
Published: February 2024

This article addresses the need to deregulate management consultancy in Brazil, arguing that such a measure would boost innovation and competitiveness in the sector. Current regulations are considered outdated and restrictive, preventing significant progress and negatively impacting the sector's benefits in the Brazilian economy, given the limitations arising from the rules in force. The text highlights the historical evolution of consultancy in the country and the need for laws that keep pace with market changes. Current regulatory rigidity is seen as an obstacle to adapting to modern demands. The proposal for deregulation, in line with international practices and emphasizing self-regulation by professional associations, would make it easier for companies to adapt to market needs and client demands. This would allow the adoption of the best international practices, increasing the global competitiveness of Brazilian companies. Self-regulation, with ethical and quality standards, would promote best practices, recognized by clients and society. The inclusion of international standards would increase innovation and excellence in the sector. The article also emphasizes the importance of diversity of ideas and practices for the global competitiveness of Brazilian management consulting firms, suggesting that deregulation would allow for fairer competition between firms of different sizes and specialties. Deregulation aims to align the sector with global trends, benefiting clients and contributing to a more dynamic and competitive sector. It also highlights the need to review or repeal relevant legislation that currently negatively affects the consulting sector, proposing professional advocacy actions.
Present time, history and the silence of memory in textbooks
Authors: Silva Fabio Henrique Monteiro
Published: February 2024

At the beginning of the 21st century, we have seen a plethora of reflections on the teaching of history, especially since the implementation of the National Textbook Plan. However, the relationship between history, the present and memory is still absent from discussions about basic education textbooks. This text does not seek to delve into an epistemological discussion that is present in the training of historians, but rather to lay the discursive foundations for approximations between memory and the history of the present time as the driving force behind meanings of the continuity of life.

Authors: Ferreira Jefferson Amadeu , Bacovis Márcia Maria Costa , Moreira Beth Luna Monteiro , Machado Ana Lúcia Soares
Published: February 2024

The article describes a case study of the reverse logistics of scrap tires in the city of Manaus. The study concerns a company that transforms waste tires into new products, closing the production cycle, following the principles of the Circular Economy. The aim is to verify and collect information on the reverse logistics process for tires in the city of Manaus carried out by a processing company whose main production input is scrap tires. In order to achieve the expected result, bibliographical research was carried out, as well as searches and consultations of statistical data from official bodies, on-site visits and interviews with the company's management, along with observations of the processes. The results of the research show a number of barriers faced by the company in adopting a circular business model. Reverse logistics for the collection of end-of-life tires in the city of Manaus and in the interior of the state of Amazonas still faces a number of logistical bottlenecks when it comes to collecting tires; there is no greater publicity or awareness of this service in the production chain and there is a large quantity of tires that are not properly disposed of. The study points to a series of opportunities for improvement in the creation and production of various products using tires as their main input. The reuse of tires has emerged as a new circular business model for a change in paradigms and culture, combining more conscious consumption with a destination aimed at monetizing waste that would otherwise be disposed of incorrectly in the environment.

The aim of this study was to analyze the quality of artisanal cheeses offered at open-air markets in the northern and southern regions of Dourados /MS. 3 samples of fresh cheeses sold at the markets were purchased, and the samples were named A, B and C, with sample D (industrial production control cheese) weighing approximately 800 to 1000g each. The physical and chemical analyses were: visual analysis of the packaging, pH, acidity, % moisture, ash and water activity, texture and instrumental color. Microbial analysis: thermotolerant coliforms, Scgerichia coli and total coliforms. According to the results obtained, the samples of fresh cheeses defined as A, B and C did not show any type of identification on the packaging label, did not contain official identification, and therefore did not comply with Resolution 259/2002. According to the physical and chemical analyses, the pH showed no significant difference (p<0.05) between the samples (C and D), although there was a significant difference with A and B. The moisture content ranged from 48.91±0.68% (sample B) to 57.54±0.97% (sample C). Ash values ranged from 2.31% to 3.66%. In terms of instrumental texture parameters, sample A was considered to be soft (0.0287±0.00 N) and sample B was the sample with the greatest hardness (0.2517±0.39 N). For the parameters cut, elasticity, adhesiveness and chewability there was no significant difference (p<0.05) when compared to the control sample (D). In terms of cohesiveness, there was no significant difference between samples (A, B) and sample D (control). As for the microbiological assessment, 50% of the cheeses collected were in accordance with RDC No. 12/2001. There is therefore a clear need to create awareness-raising projects to train market traders who produce and handle cheese, as well as monitoring by the relevant bodies to ensure that the production and marketing of these products is properly verified.

Authors: Ilmiyah Silvi Z. , Fakurazi Sharida , Endharti Agustina T. , Permana Sofy
Published: February 2024

Context: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a highly contagious viral disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become a worldwide pandemic. Selenium derived from the plants of the Brassicaceae family plays an important role in several biological functions, often as an antioxidant or antiviral. In particular, selenium can be used as an adjuvant in the treatment of various viral infections. Aims: To determine the potential drug, as well as the affinity and the bond energy associated with chemical interaction bonds between the complex selenium compounds from Brassicaceae as inhibitors of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and MAP4 through the use of in silico studies. Methods: The methods used in this study consisted of receptor and ligand data collection, ADMET analysis, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics. Results: The results of this study indicate that the selenium complex compounds have the potential to be used as a spike inhibitor drug for SARS-CoV-2, as they have passed the Lipinski test and showed promise in the pharmacokinetic analysis. The results of the bond docking show that several complex selenium compounds, such as ethaselen, selenomethionine, and selenocystine, have stronger binding affinity values than the controls. This is compared to the control MAP4, which yielded binding affinities of -6.1 kcal/mol and spike protein -7 kcal/mol, respectively. Controlled bisoxatin and estramustine are drugs with mechanisms targeted to MAP4 and spike protein, which are the usual standards used. Conclusions: The similarity of sites, the binding of several amino acid residues dominated by hydrogen bonds, and the result of molecular dynamic results for the selenium compound derived from Brassicaceae showed a stable bond to the spike protein and MAP4 with low fluctuation levels.

The purpose of this study was to determine which hyper accumulator plant is more efficient for phytoremediation of heavy metals in a heavy metal polluted soil. The plants used were Sunflower (Helianthus annuus), Asiatic dayflower (Commelina communis), Guinea grass (Panicum maximum), Bahama grass (Cynodon dactylon), and Vertiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides). Heavy metals such as Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, Ag and Hg were impregnated in the soil samples and analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The plants were planted in the heavy metal polluted soil and harvested after 75 days to determine the percentage concentration of the heavy metals in the root and shoot of the plants. The result showed that heavy metals were hyper-accumulated in the roots and shoots of the plants at the end of the investigation. The heavy metals with a percentage concentration above 50 % can be used as a phytoremediator of that particular metal in a polluted soil. It was discovered that the best hyperaccumulator plants for Pb is the Sunflower, for Zn and Cd is the Bahama grass, for Cu and Ag is the Vertiver grass whilst, for Hg is the Guinea grass.

Soil nutrient depletion restrains agricultural crop production and economic growth. A major challenge on recommendations on the amount and type of fertilizers to applied in the country level and in the study area. Soil test based phosphorous calibration study was conducted on bread wheat for three consecutive years for determination of the values of critical level phosphorus (10 ppm) and phosphorus requirement factor (11.03 kg/ha) in Horo District. This District was selected purposively based on potential Bread wheat production. Due to Ethiopia begun to use NPS fertilizer recently, Optimum NPS fertilizer rate for bread wheat production was determined in Horo District. In order to gain confidence in the diffusion of technology to end users, a pre-extension demonstration of the NPS fertilizer recommended rate for bread wheat based on soil tests was completed in the Horo district. The goal of this demonstration was to allow farmers to participate and test the technology during the 2020–21 cropping season. There were two treatments presented: a blanket recommendation and 100% phosphorous critical NPS at optimum nitrogen (46 kg/ha). The research findings were that the soil test crop-based NPS fertilizer rate application from 100% phosphorous critical NPS at optimum nitrogen (46 kg/ha) was recommended for the production of bread wheat in the Horo district. The analysis of variance indicated that, the highest grain yield (4110 kg/ha) was obtained from the application of Soil Test based NPS fertilizer recommendation (STBFR) whereas the lowest grain yield 3322.67 kg/ha from the blanket fertilizer recommendation. The economic analysis also revealed that the maximum net benefit 87089.40 Ethiopia Birr was obtained from STBFR. Soil test based NPS fertilizer recommendation was economically feasible and the highest Marginal rate of return and net income were obtained from soil test based fertilizer recommendation. Therefore, 100% Pc from NPS and Nitrogen 46 kg/ ha fertilizer rate recommended for bread wheat production and productive in the study area.

Published: February 2024

Bee flora resources are crucial for the development of beekeeping. The study aimed to find and construct a flowering calendar for bee plants in order to produce many batches of honey. Data were collected through bee plant inventory, pollen collection and honey pollen analysis. Based on bee plant inventories, pollen load collection, and honey pollen analysis, 103 plant species were identified as nectar and pollen sources for honeybees. Ageratum conizoides, Guizotia scabra, Cordia africana, Datura arborea, Plantago lanceolata, Rumex nervosus, and Justicia schimperiana were the most common honey-producing plants in the area. The fresh weight of pollen gathered at various months of the year revealed that a substantial amount of pollen was collected in September, October, and November, but the incoming pollen weight decreased in March and July. The area's peak honey flow period began in November and lasted until early December or late February. The modest honey flow also occurred in May and June. Pollen examination of honey samples indicated three monofloral honey types: Guizotia spp., Vernonia, and Croton monofloral honey types, with pollen frequencies ranging between 45% and 100%. The study indicated that the floral calendar of bee forages is completely reliant on the seasonal availability of food sources, and beekeepers should be aware of how to manage honeybee colonies in accordance with the flowering calendar in their area in order to enhance the frequency of honey production.

Authors: Twilleger Tina , Dallam George , McKinley Jenna
Published: February 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic increased stress levels and created new health issues amongst individuals of all ages, genders, socioeconomic status, and occupations (da Silveira et al., 2020). The purpose of this research project was to examine differences in acute daily stress using measures of daily morning heart rate (HR), the root mean square of successive differences between normal heartbeats (RMSSD), and a proprietary index of heart rate variability (HRV) compared between matched groups of exercisers and non-exercisers with similar levels of chronic stressors. The sample consisted of 20 adult subjects (10 exercisers, 10-matched non-exercisers), including ten males and ten females with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 26.6±12.87 (females = 27.53±5.34, males = 24.77±3.55). The sample was recruited from the Pueblo, Colorado community and Colorado State University Pueblo and consisted of local community members and faculty, staff, and student body members. The participants recorded their daily morning heart rate at home using a Polar heart rate monitor and the Elite HRV phone application. Chronic stressor load was measured using the Trier Inventory of Chronic Stress (TICS) (2004) at baseline, 3 and 6 weeks. The study occurred during the COVID-19 Pandemic between September 2020 and December 2020. The regular exercise group experienced a significantly lower mean HR (p < 0.05), significantly higher mean RMSSD (p < 0.05), and mean HRV (p < 0.05) than the non-exercisers during the study period, with no significant differences between the groups in mean chronic stressor level as evaluated by the TICS. This research provides further evidence that exercise offers a stress-buffering effect during periods of high chronic stress, such as experienced during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Performance of SMEs in today's dynamic business environment is crucial for the development of any economy. However, there are still obstacles hindering the expected optimal performance of the sector. The objective of this study therefore, is to examine the moderating role of dominant logic on the relationship between product innovation, marketing innovation and firm performance among SMEs in Three local governments (Abaji, AMAC and Kuje) in Abuja. A sample of 235 questionnaires was analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling. The result indicated that, in the direct relationship, Marketing Innovation and Dominant Logic have significant effect on SMEs performance, while the direct relationship between Product Innovation and Performance was found not to be significant. It was further found that Dominant Logic significantly moderates the relationship between Product Innovation and Firm Performance. On the other hand, Dominant Logic does not significantly moderate the relationship between Marketing Innovation and SMEs performance. The study therefore recommends that businesses should ensure managerial cognition are well defined and communicated at all levels, so as to improve product innovation. Also, there is need to emphasize the idea behind new trends so as to come up with a befitting marketing innovation that makes their business stand out by delivering quality service in the most cost effective manner  which will in turn enhance their performance.

Methods: This study was conducted at our university hospital and involved a total of 46 patients who underwent abdominal operations and laparoscopic procedures. The study period spanned from January 15, 2022, to October 15, 2022. Patients were divided into 2 groups: Group 1 (n = 23) received standard GA, and group 2 (n = 23) received thoracic segmental SA. A combination of 10 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% and 25 μg of fentanyl was injected through the spinal needle. The epidural catheter was then threaded through the Tuohy needle after withdrawal of the spinal needle to keep only 4 cm up in the epidural space. Demographic data, both intra and postoperative hemodynamic parameters, were monitored. Postoperatively, pain in both groups was treated with intravenous (IV) morphine by patient controlled analgesia (PCA), PCA settings were 1 mg morphine/mL, no background infusion, bolus dose 2 mL and lockout interval 15 min. Postoperative, both resting VAS and VAS during cough were measured for all patients at fixed intervals, and all patients were followed up for postoperative complications. Results: No significant variation was found in demographic data. Intra and postoperative mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) measurements were higher in group 1 than in group 2 but without a statistically significant difference (P < 0.029). Early postoperative VAS values and discharge time from the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) were significantly reduced in group 2 than in group 1 (P < 0.001). The number of patients asked for analgesia and total opioid consumption were substantially reduced in group 2 than in group 1. Also, the time of the first analgesia request and patient satisfaction were substantially greater in group 2 than in group 1. Conclusions: Combined thoracic spinal/epidural block results in stable hemodynamics, longer postoperative analgesia with fewer side effects, and greater surgeon and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing abdominal operations and laparoscopic procedures.

The Non-Seasonal Holt-Winters Method for Forecasting Stock Price Returns of Companies Affected by BDS Action
Authors: Qur'ani Anggun Yuliarum , Widyaningrum Chandra Sari
Published: February 2024

The non-seasonal Holt-Winters method is one of the methods of smoothing theory. This method can be implemented on time series data that does not have a seasonal component. In this study, this method is used to forecast the stock price returns of companies affected by the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) action. Forecasting gets very good results that can be seen from the MAPE value of modeling the six stocks affiliated with Israel that continue to carry out Zionism against Palestine is not more than 10%. This method can also accommodate the limitations of existing data while still obtaining good forecasting results. In addition, the use of several transformations of stock price returns in this case is very useful in modeling to obtain appropriate error assumptions. The forecasting results of the model formed as a whole follow the trend in the stock price of each company. To produce good forecasting results using this method, it is recommended to do forecasting in the short term. The forecasting results show that of the six company stocks, almost all of them experienced a decrease in stock price returns. Only one stock of PT Map Boga Adiperkasa Tbk has increased. This also illustrates that the BDS action influences on these companies.

Structured Abstract

Purpose: This paper examines the herd behavior of individual returns around their industry average in stressful market condition, when industry-wide investor attention is high or low, and when good or bad industry-wide news reach the market.

Design/Methodology: Decile portfolios are formed based on proxies of aggregate market condition, industry-wide level of investor attention and industry-wide news signal. Indicator variables identifying the months in the highest and lowest portfolios are then entered in regression tests to capture the degree to which returns herd around their industry. Both cross-sectional and absolute deviations from industry average are used to measure herding.

Findings:  The analysis reveals that for the majority of industries, herding exist in calm market conditions. Moreover, herding appears to be concentrated in months where the industries record abnormally low returns and in months in which the industries receive good news.

Practical Implications: Understanding what drives the herd behavior of individual returns in financial markets portfolio may be of particular value to investment companies, such as hedge funds, who seek to time the market.

Originality/Value:  The paper offers new insights on the drivers of herding in financial markets. While prior studies focus on examining herding in market turmoil, this paper documents herding around extreme events and following news arrival.
