Do Organizational Virtues Enhance Work Well-being? The Mediator Role of HRM Practices
Authors: Demo Gisela , Neiva Elaine Rabelo , Coura Karla Veloso , Gomide Júnior Sinésio , Costa Ana Carolina Rezende
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT Context: over the last decades, positive psychology has brought up the need for research on positive emotions and attitudes, such as organizational virtues and well-being at work. Moreover, there is evidence that virtues may influence the perception about human resource management practices, constituting a driver of well-being in work context. However, literature signalizes the gap regarding research models covering the relation between these three variables. Objective: this study aimed to evaluate the relation between organizational virtues and well-being at work, mediated by the perception of HRM practices. Methodology: the research is classified as quantitative, carried out through a survey, with 286 participants, using structural equation modeling through the JASP software. Results: results confirmed the partial mediation played by HRM practices in the proposed model, bringing a theoretical contribution by joining the three variables into a single model, with psychometric evidence of the strong prediction of organizational virtues on HRM practices and well-being at work. Conclusion: as a managerial implication, our findings compose a diagnosis that shed light on the relevance for managers in organizations to prioritize organizational virtues and HRM practices in order to enhance healthier work environments.
Best Practices for Your Exploratory Factor Analysis: A Factor Tutorial
Authors: Rogers Pablo
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT Context: exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is one of the statistical methods most widely used in administration; however, its current practice coexists with rules of thumb and heuristics given half a century ago. Objective: the purpose of this article is to present the best practices and recent recommendations for a typical EFA in administration through a practical solution accessible to researchers. Methods: in this sense, in addition to discussing current practices versus recommended practices, a tutorial with real data on Factor is illustrated. The Factor software is still little known in the administration area, but is freeware, easy-to-use (point and click), and powerful. The step-by-step tutorial illustrated in the article, in addition to the discussions raised and an additional example, is also available in the format of tutorial videos. Conclusion: through the proposed didactic methodology (article-tutorial + video-tutorial), we encourage researchers/methodologists who have mastered a particular technique to do the same. Specifically about EFA, we hope that the presentation of the Factor software, as a first solution, can transcend the current outdated rules of thumb and heuristics, by making best practices accessible to administration researchers.

Metodologicamente, trata-se de uma pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa, exploratória e de levantamento. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas com as professoras e auxiliares da escola em estudo. As principais fontes teóricas utilizadas foram Foucault (2021; 2014); Freire (2019); Rousseau (2004); Santos (2018); Vigotski (2000), entre outros. As crescentes mudanças sociais geradas pelo processo de globalização levam a refletir sobre essa faixa etária, que muitas vezes acaba esquecida dessas transformações.
Impotência, Ressentimento, Incredulidade: o niilismo no Cinema e na Educação
Authors: Almeida Rogério de
Published: July 2022

RESUMO O niilismo pode ser definido como depreciação da vida, instauração e perda dos valores supremos, crise das categorias de finalidade, totalidade e verdade, o que gera impotência, ressentimento e incredulidade. Esses elementos fazem parte dos imaginários contemporâneos e foram estudados nos filmes Nocturama, Três anúncios para um crime e A casa que Jack construiu, com o objetivo de investigar as manifestações do niilismo e seus desdobramentos no cinema e na educação. A metodologia pautou-se pela hermenêutica em convergência com o perspectivismo nietzschiano e a conclusão aponta a possibilidade de superação do niilismo por meio da pedagogia da escolha e da afirmação incondicional da vida.
A atualidade de A reprodução de Pierre Bourdieu e Jean-Claude Passeron: 50 anos de um legado acadêmico e político
Authors: Knoblauch Adriane , Medeiros Cristina Carta Cardoso de
Published: July 2022

Resumo Este artigo discute o livro de Pierre Bourdieu e Jean-Claude Passeron, A reprodução: elementos para uma teoria do sistema de ensino , lançado em 1970, na França. Iniciando por uma localização da obra em seu contexto de origem e suas principais premissas teóricas, restituem-se, na sequência, achados derivados de uma pesquisa empírica realizada com artigos publicados em 2020 que faziam referência a esse texto. Foram analisados 51 artigos, localizados na plataforma Google Acadêmico, que foram tratados a partir da análise de conteúdo. Os artigos demonstraram que, mesmo passados 50 anos da publicação do livro, seu conteúdo ainda é atual e incontornável para observar o sistema de ensino. Foram utilizados conceitos e noções do manuscrito em variados temas e problemas ligados ao campo educacional brasileiro, tais como: a relação entre o desempenho escolar e a origem social dos alunos; o capital cultural como um patrimônio estimulado e transmitido pela família, capaz de gerar impacto na definição de um trajeto escolar bem-sucedido, ou não; o papel da escola na reprodução do capital simbólico e o fato de as ações pedagógicas não serem neutras, e sim exemplos de violência simbólica. Finaliza-se o texto com a indicação de que as leituras realizadas da obra de Bourdieu no Brasil sofreram uma alteração significativa ao longo dos últimos anos. A partir do exame da produção científica estudada, foi possível perceber uma outra lógica de apropriação do arcabouço desenvolvido pelo sociólogo, utilizado como instrumental teórico-metodológico em pesquisas de caráter multidisciplinar e multimetodológico.
Contribution of turbidimetry on the characterisation of cement pastes bleeding
Authors: El Bitouri Youssef , Azéma Nathalie
Published: July 2022

The aim of this paper is to examine the contribution of turbidimetry measurements in the characterisation of cement pastes bleeding. In some cases (e.g. the presence of superplasticiser), the bleed water becomes turbid due to dispersion of the finest particles, and the boundary between the bleed water and the consolidated paste becomes difficult to detect. A Turbiscan device allows this boundary to be detected more accurately than in traditional tests. The role of superplasticiser and solid volume fraction in bleeding is examined. The bleeding measurements highlight the role of the superplasticiser in bleeding and its kinetics. The effect of superplasticiser may be explained by better dispersion leading to the release of water trapped between agglomerates. Furthermore, the existence of a critical volume fraction is shown, above which no bleeding occurs, and close to that corresponding to the appearance of contacts between particles. Finally, using rheological measurements, the correlation between the yield stress and bleeding has been possible.

The influence of Corporate Governance and the external mechanisms of control in trade-off among results management strategies
Authors: Telles Rafael Scuizato , Moraes Romildo de Oliveira
Published: July 2022

The objective of the study was to analyze the influence of corporate governance (CG) and external control mechanisms on the trade-off among results management strategies by discretionary accruals and by operational decisions. The sample consisted of 177 companies listed in B³. Corporate governance was investigated through the index developed by Leal et al. (2015). The results management was captured by Paulo’s model (2007) in the case of discretionary accruals, by the Roychowdhury’s model (2006) in the case of operational expenses and the Vuong’s test (1989) for the trade-off among these strategies. The study extends the investigations in the scope of results management by investigating whether endogenous (corporate governance) and exogenous (external control mechanisms) facts to the company influence the managers in their options by managing the results by discretionary accruals or operational decisions. In the results, it was verified that corporate governance and external control mechanisms influence the trade-off among the outcome strategies. The presence of these variables led managers to prioritize management utilization through discretionary accruals to the detriment of management through operational decisions. The research contributes to the literature on results management by detecting variables that influence the managers’ discretionary decisions as to which management strategy to use, bringing practical contributions to signaling to the stakeholders that governance and external control mechanisms are effective in their role of inhibiting results management.

Identification of geochemical anomalies associated with Sn-W mineralization in the Dong Van region, North-Eastern Vietnam, using statistical methods
Authors: Hung K. T.
Published: July 2022

Sn-W multimetal mineralization in the Dong Van region, North-Eastern Vietnam was studied using statistical and multivariate approaches based on 890 samples of stream bottom sediments collected for assaying for 27 elements. The findings of frequency analysis demonstrated that Pb, As, Bi, Li, Sn, W, Ta, Ce, Ag, Sb, and Be have close ties with multimetal ores, implying that these elements can be used as prospecting indicators for multimetal mineralization. In addition, correlation matrix and dendrogram studies were also applied to subdivide the elements in the stream bottom sediment samples assays into two groups: associated with multimetal mineralization (Be-Sn-W-Bi, and, to a lesser extent, Li-Pb sub-groups) and not associated with the mineralization: (As-Cd-Sc-Cr-Ce-La, Co-Ni-V, and Ga-Ge-Ba sub-groups). Sn and W were found to be the best indicator elements for the mineralization, according to the findings of geochemical modeling and location of their anomalies in the region. Furthermore, extensive Sn and W anomalies were identified in the Dong Van region (using threshold values (mean ± 3 STD), providing the most important indications for multimetal mineralization prospecting in the region. The studies also suggest genetic ties between the region’s multimetal mineralization and the northwest-southeast fault system and concealed granitoid blocks. Finally, the performed statistical analyses (with the use of threshold values) of stream bottom sediments assays allowed revealing indicator elements and their geochemical anomalies and using them as an effective tool in further prospecting and exploration for multimetal mineralization in the region.
Simulation of loads on operating device of peat-cutting unit with regard to errors in the cutting elements arrangement
Authors: Fomin K. V.
Published: July 2022

The practice of using units with milling-type operating devices showed their insufficient reliability, which leads to deterioration of the units’ performance. The reasons for this are high dynamic loads in structural members, which are caused by external resistance forces on a milling cutter. They have random, sharply variable nature due to structural heterogeneity of a peat deposit, its random physical and mechanical properties, the presence of wood inclusions in it, as well as periodic interaction of blades with the deposit, and many other factors. In this case, the parameters of actual milling cutter, due to manufacturing and installation errors, differ from those specified in the “ideal” design. In addition, wear and irreversible deformations of cutting elements (blades) occur during operation. As a result the position of blades in a cutter body differs from the “ideal” positioning pattern. The purpose of the paper is to develop a model of section moment on a milling cutter when interacting with a peat deposit in the process of technological operations, taking into account the influence of the error of blade positioning on a cutter body. Expressions for calculating the moment spectral density were obtained. Its characteristic features were analyzed. Errors in positioning of cutting elements on a cutter body lead to changes in the magnitude and nature of the load and its frequency content. In this case, new, additional components appear at frequencies multiple of the cutter’s angular velocity, enriching the load spectrum and increasing its variance. Their magnitude is determined by the cumulative value of the errors. As an example, an analysis of the influence of the error in positioning cutting elements on the spectral density for the operating device of MTP-42 deep milling machine is given. The study results are of practical value and should be taken into account in the calculation of dynamic loads in designing structural members of milling units, especially if their operating devices have a large number of blades, use fine feeds, and when the natural frequencies of the structural members are equal to or multiple of the angular speed of a milling cutter.

Energy Control: reflexiones teóricas sobre un programa español de reducción de riesgos, desde el paradigma de la biopolítica
Authors: Fernández Piedra Diego , Gallego Granero Enrique , Vega Moreno Berta de la
Published: July 2022

El siguiente artículo expone una discusión teórica referente a la implementación del programa Energy Control en un municipio de Castilla y León (España), a través del paradigma de la biopolítica, partiendo de una investigación etnográfica previa sobre las adicciones en dicha localidad. La aplicación de dicho referente teórico genera importantes reflexiones acerca del consumo de drogas en el entorno lúdico juvenil y el actual modelo hegemónico de intervención biomédico. Energy Control es un programa asistencial español que desarrolla estrategias de reducción de riesgos dirigidas a personas con consumos de droga no problematizados, en contextos de ocio. Su fin no es eliminar el consumo, tal y como persiguen otros recursos contemporáneos. Se concluye, no obstante, que Energy Control también se encuentra enmarcado dentro del modelo hegemónico de intervención sobre drogas, promoviendo lógicas neoliberales que influyen en lo corporal y lo subjetivo, desde un tipo de salud determinado.
Potenciales terapéuticos del peyote entre no indígenas en México
Authors: Guzmán Chávez Mauricio Genet , Noyola Cherpitel José
Published: July 2022

El uso terapéutico del peyote ocupa un lugar destacado en los círculos y contextos rituales de curación en diferentes partes del territorio nacional mexicano. El objetivo en este artículo es evaluar desde un enfoque psiquiátrico y antropológico los beneficios terapéuticos entre miembros (hombres y mujeres) no indígenas de clase media, que lo consumen dentro del formato ritual de la Iglesia Nativa Americana. Para ello nos apoyamos en entrevistas abiertas y estructuradas para evidenciar trastornos y riesgos por el consumo de drogas, particularmente el peyote. Entre los resultados más relevantes encontramos: la construcción de narrativas en las cuales se asume un proceso de cura o sanación patente en el cambio de hábitos y el tipo de relacionamientos sociales. Desde el punto de vista clínico, 85% de la muestra presenta mejorías evidentes a su situación previa. Los hallazgos nos permiten resaltar el papel que juega un ritual altamente disciplinario, así como la creación de lazos afectivos y emocionales entre el grupo. Nuevas inquietudes nos empujan a ampliar el horizonte de estudio para corroborar estos resultados.
First report of Utah fragile fern (Cystopteris: Cystopteridaceae) from New Mexico, and new nomenclatural combinations in Cystopteris tenneseensis
Authors: Windham Michael D. , Pryer Kathleen M.
Published: July 2022

Two recently analyzed collections of Cystopteris from New Mexico represent the first records of Utah fragile fern for the state. Our morphological reexamination of this taxon reveals a single character (the thickness of lateral cell walls in rhizome and petiole base scales) that consistently distinguishes it from tetraploid Cystopteris tennesseensis. Therefore, we propose the new combination C. tennesseensis subsp. utahensis to accommodate these disjunct, tetraploid populations of the southwestern United States. A second new combination, C. tennesseensis subsp. laurentiana, is provided for morphologically similar hexaploids from the northeastern U.S. and southern Canada.

An investigation of Miconia tetrandra (Melastomataceae: Miconieae): Phylogenetic placement and taxonomy
Authors: Judd Walter S. , Majure Lucas C.
Published: July 2022

Miconia tetrandra, a morphologically distinctive species restricted to the Caribbean region, is provided with an updated assessment of its phylogenetic position and taxonomy. A detailed description and nomenclatural treatment are provided, along with a consideration of phenology, distribution and habitat, and citation of specimens examined. The species is a member of the Caribbean clade, and it is unusual within Miconia in having flowers with only four stamens (alternating with the petals), with short, obovate, yellow anthers that each open by two large pores. Miconia tetrandra is morphologically quite divergent from, but is likely related to, a clade comprised by M. angustifolia, M. urbanii, and M. biflora, and these three species traditionally have been included within the genus Tetrazygia. In contrast, M. tetrandra usually has been placed within Miconia.

Fifteen noteworthy collections from Mississippi, U.S.A.
Authors: Kees John
Published: July 2022

Mississippi is an “under-botanized” state, with no state flora or atlas, a paucity of voucher specimens from many counties, and few county or local floristic inventories. 12 taxa are reported new to the flora of Mississippi or with only false, dubious, or unsubstantiated previous record; three significantly rare taxa with little previous record in the state are reported for new counties or ecoregions. Voucher specimens for each taxon are deposited at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science (MMNS) or University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (NCU) herbarium, and duplicates for some taxa at the University of West Alabama (UWAL), Austin Peay State University (APSC), University of Southern Mississippi (USMS), and Mississippi State University (MISSA) herbaria. I have excluded detailed locality information here, as all of the native taxa are significantly rare in the state and on unprotected land. The habitat, rarity, and distribution within the state of each taxon are discussed.

Donald Pinkava’s studies on the vascular flora of the Bolsón de Cuatro Ciénegas in the Chihuahuan Desert, updates, and taxonomic information on Acanthaceae in the region
Authors: Daniel Thomas F.
Published: July 2022

In 1967 Donald Pinkava began botanical exploration of the then little-studied Bolsón de Cuatro Ciénegas in the east-central portion of the Chihuahuan Desert. This closed (i.e., internally drained) basin contains an unusual assemblage of biotic communities in a relatively small region. Following 10 years of field studies, between 1979 and 1984 Pinkava published catalogs of the vascular flora of his 2,000 km2 study area, and documented 860 species in 456 genera from 114 families. He also recognized and summarized eight “vegetation zones” in the study area: aquatic and semiaquatic habitats, gypsum dunes, basin sacaton grasslands, a transition zone, desertscrub, chaparral, oak-pine and oak woodlands, and montane conifer forests. Some updates and discussions are offered relative to both the flora and vegetation of the basin area. The botanical richness of this region is illustrated by Acanthaceae. A key to and synopsis of the 13 species in six genera of that family occurring there are provided. Lists comparing Acanthaceae in the Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts are also appended. Pinkava’s pioneering botanical inventory in and around the Bolsón de Cuatro Ciénegas was both timely and has had a significant impact on subsequent efforts to preserve this precious natural resource of international significance.

Cardioncology has emerged as a new field at the intersection of cardiology and oncology. Despite the fact that improving efficiency of antitumor treatment increased the survival of oncological hematological patients, the long-term cardiovascular consequences of this treatment have become more clinically significant.

Despite the effectiveness of modern methods of treatment, some drugs, such as Bcr-Abl kinase inhibitors, anthracyclines, HER2/Erbb2 inhibitors, vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors, fluoropyrimidines, as well as radiation therapy can have a pronounced effect on the cardiovascular system. These toxic effects lead to cardiac arrhythmia, heart failure, vascular toxicity and even death. It is important for hematologists, oncologists and cardiologists to understand the basic diagnostic and treatment strategies that should be used in the event of toxicity of this kind. At a time when, due to the developed cardiotoxicity, antitumor therapy should be discontinued, in some cases, it is possible to consider continuing treatment with caution and careful monitoring.

Background. Treatment results of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children on protocol, developed by one of the leading research study group BFM (Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster) are impressive - longstanding overall survival rate comprise 93.4 %. The basis of success is a differential approach based on prognostic factors. In some local issues BFM protocols receive criticism because of high toxicity, but trying to find results of complex protocol toxicity assessment by modern scales in local literature, it was absent.

Aim. To study a toxicity of acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment by ALL IC-BFM 2002 protocol.

Materials and methods. 119 patients with primary diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia were enrolled the study. All the patients were treated by ALL IC-BFM 2002 protocol. Toxicity assessment was performed by the scale of National Cancer Institute (NCI) USA, 2nd version.

Results. The most often variants of toxicity during treatment according to the ALL IC-BFM 2002 protocol were myelo-suppression, infections and hepatotoxicity of I-IV degrees of severity. Clinically significant toxicity (grade IV) was myelosuppression and necessity for transfusions in 76.8-100 % (depending on prognostic risk group and as such protocol arm). Nephro- and hepatotoxicity described on high-dosed methotrexate (2000 mg/m2 or 5000 mg/m2) were I-II grade in 89.5 % patients. Stomatitis grade I-II was in 93.7 % patients of standard and intermediate risk groups, but in the most (90 %) patients from high risk group it was higher - grade III-IV. Mortality on protocol ALL IC-BFM 2002 caused by infection complications was 1.6 %. It should be noted, that supportive care, prescribed in ALL IC-BFM 2002 protocol help to prevent and correct severe toxicity effectively.

Conclusion. The toxicity profile of ALL IC-BFM 2002 protocol, analyzed by frequency of toxicity grade III-IV with whole supportive care approaches, is acceptable. The noted variants of toxicity were fully resolved without irreversible consequences for the patients.
Prediction of Fluctuation, Expansion Ratios and Gas Hold Up in a Three Stage Gas-solid Fluidized Bed – A Statistical Approach
Authors: Jyoti Kaparapu, P. Satya Sagar M. Krishna Prasad,
Published: July 2022

Multistage fluidized bed has shown greater performance than the single stage in terms adsorption efficiency, recovery efficiency etc. Thus, experiments have been carried out in a three stage gas-solid fluidized bed. The hydrodynamic characteristicssuch as fluctuation ratio, expansion ratio and gas holdups have been studied. The dependency of these quantities with the system variables like particle size, initial static bed height and superficial gas velocity in each stage of a three-stage fluidized bed have been analyzed. It has been found that both fluctuation and expansion ratios are inverse functions of particle size and static bed height whereas a direct function of superficial gas velocity. However the gas holdup is a direct function of all the three operating parameter.It has also been observed that bed fluctuation and expansion goes on decreasing from lower bed to the upper bed. Further correlations have been developed for all the three stages for fluctuation ratio, expansion ratio and gas holdup using statistical analysis. It has been found that the experimental values of the responses agree well with the values predicted from the models.

In the past, climate change has been a significant problem all over the world; nonetheless, it has been challenging to mobilize collective action in response to the problem. In spite of the knowledge that climate change is a threat to our species as well as the life that already exists on our planet, this continues to be the case. The researchers who have looked into this phenomenon have come to the conclusion that effective communication regarding climate change is predicated on messages that are both emotionally charged and personally meaningful, and that pictures, in particular, are essential in order to generate awareness and concern about the subject. In spite of the widespread belief that this is the case, the majority of the conventional modes of communication that professionals employ when interacting with members of the general public are frequently founded on discoveries made in the scientific community. These studies, on the other hand, typically fail to convey either the urgency or the relevance of this huge occurrence. Utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning Is the Purpose of Our Report So That We Can Help Bridge This Gap And Build A Tool To Promote Awareness About The Effects Of Climate Change The purpose of our report is to use AI and ML so that we can help bridge this gap and build a tool to promote (ML).

The review was taken up to appraise genotypic and phenotypic changeability, heritability with hereditary development, relationship, and bunch examination on development and yield boundaries in 10 variations of assortment T-9 of Brassica campestris (toria). These variations were acquired through mutagenesis. Examination of change uncovers that there are profoundly massive contrasts among every one of the characteristics considered. Completely, phenotypic coefficients of fluctuation were higher than their separate genotypic coefficients of change for every one of the characteristics. High GCV was noticed for cases plant-1, snout length, and seed yield plant-1 while most noteworthy PCV was displayed for auxiliary branches plant-1. Expansive sense heritability went from most reduced 16.41 for auxiliary branches per plant to most noteworthy 72.35 for plant level. Units plant-1, plant level, mouth length, case length, and seed yield plant-1 showed high hereditary development over mean percent. The consequences of connection uncovered that seed yield plant-1 showed an exceptionally huge positive relationship with stem border, optional branches, cases on a fundamental raceme, unit plant-1, and 100 seed weight, albeit critical negative connection with bill length. The attributes which showed a positive connection with seed yield were the fundamental supporter of high seed yield plant-1. All genotypes were assembled into two groups at 3% linkage. Bunch I contains variations with a most extreme mean incentive for plant level, raceme length, and case length though group II genotypes showed high mean incentive for unit plant-1, 100 seed weight, and seed yield plant-1. The consequence of hereditary uniqueness in variations shows that it is useful in the choice of prevalent yield credits in the rearing system of oilseed Brassicas.
