Published: September 2023

Diante do cenário atual, impactado por diversos problemas socioambientais, a competitividade organizacional passou a considerar outros aspectos, além do viés financeiro, como a sustentabilidade. As organizações têm buscado cada vez mais construir estratégias que contemplem bons resultados econômicos, sociais e ambientais. O planejamento estratégico é um recurso amplamente utilizado nas organizações para definir tais estratégias, buscando alcançar melhores resultados e refletindo seus valores. A matriz SWOT é uma das ferramentas utilizadas neste planejamento para facilitar a análise dos cenários organizacionais e, a partir daí, tomar as melhores decisões, possibilitando que as organizações conheçam seus pontos fortes, fracos, oportunidades e ameaças. Na construção de estratégias sustentáveis, a adoção de ESG, que pode ser considerada como governança socioambiental corporativa, é fundamental para que as organizações alcancem o lucro de forma sustentável. Neste trabalho, foi aplicada uma entrevista estruturada em uma indústria de fios gerados a partir da reciclagem de tecidos, sobre as ações socioambientais adotadas pela organização, aliada à realização de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Com base na entrevista, a matriz SWOT foi aplicada para diagnosticar as práticas socioambientais já adotadas pela organização e gerar uma proposta de solução para seus processos e sistema, considerando as premissas da governança socioambiental corporativa. Embora a indústria abordada adote ações relacionadas às práticas socioambientais, foram destacadas oportunidades de melhoria, apresentadas ao longo deste trabalho.

Authors: Sawitri Retnaning Ayu Dyah , Jaswadi  , Indrawan Andi Kusuma
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to offer efficient business process modeling to overcome the problem in the sales quotation section of the sales cycle of pre-order by requesting products and the problem in the sales order section for sales cycle of ready-stock and pre-orders  products by requesting products. The method used was qualitative, with direct observation of the fashion business object of the Sakinah_id MSME. The study results showed that an e-commerce system was needed to facilitate electronic form features by request and separate sales order menus for ready and by request products. This form feature makes it easier for buyers to describe products according to requests and connect with the designer system. Based on the very short time gap from submitting the form, so that sales quotes can be followed up on promptly. The existence of an effective sales quotation provides a profitable domino effect in the next stage, namely that many prospective buyers agree and decide to place a sales order. Then the separation of the sales order menu for ready and pre-order products is needed because the handling of the two products is different, and pre-orders must start from the sales quotation stage, while ready products start from the sales order stage. This separation makes it easier and faster for employees to divide work through clear departmental boundaries for two products at the shipping stage, recording cash receipts, and scheduling special pre-order production.

Authors: Fikriyah Tia Mahrurotul , Suhartini Dwi
Published: September 2023

Investment is an important driving factor in a country's economic growth. However, in making investment decisions, factors such as fundamental analysis, technical analysis, psychological factors, and financial literacy can influence the results of investment decisions. Therefore, this study aims to analyze these factors and their relationship with investment decisions. This study uses a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. The research subjects were students of the East Java "Veteran" National Development University. Data is collected through a questionnaire that measures the level of influence of these factors on investment decisions, with financial literacy as a moderating variable. The results show that fundamental analysis has limitations because it depends on limited data. Technical analysis also has limitations because it relies on limited historical data and is vulnerable to sudden market changes. Psychological factors, such as self-confidence and risk tolerance, also influence investment decisions. However, financial literacy has only a limited impact on moderating the relationship between these factors and investment decisions. In making investment decisions, factors such as fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and psychological factors play an important role. Although financial literacy can assist in understanding basic financial concepts, its influence on these factors is limited. Therefore, increasing financial literacy among students and the millennial generation is expected to increase their understanding of managing risk and making wiser investment decisions.

Analyzing LGB-based school bullying among senior phase learners in South Africa
Authors: Mguye Nizibone Juliet , Omodan Bunmi Isaiah
Published: September 2023

Purpose: Despite LGB recognition, recent literature and news reports have evidenced the existence of LGB-based school bullying among school-going adolescents. Through this, learners experience calamities such as anxiety, insecurity, poor academic performance, and even suicide. For this reason, this study investigates the limitations of schools in combating LGB-based school bullying and determines methods to combat LGB-based school bullying.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This qualitative study was lensed through Social Stigma Theory (SST) and the Anti-bias Education Approach (ABEA), adopting a constructivist paradigm and a case study design. To elicit descriptive data from the participants, in-depth interviews were conducted with 9 purposefully sampled participants, including 4 senior phase teachers (grades 8 & 9), 2 lesbian females, and 3 gay senior phase learners. Researchers utilized Braun and Clarke’s six steps of thematic analysis to make sense of the data.

Findings: This study revealed a number of barriers that prevent schools from addressing bullying that is based on LGB among students in the senior phase. These include uneducated and unsupportive professors, the lack of recognition of LGB, adherence to religion, vague and nonexistent claims of bullying based on LGB, and the use of the same facilities as students who are heterosexual. This study also revealed that avoiding gender disclosure, creating awareness about gender diversity, providing bathrooms for LGB learners, and following up on LGB- based bullying cases are methods that can be practiced to combat LGB-based school bullying.

Conclusion: This study concludes by recommending frequent dialogues about LGB among learners and teachers to familiarize themselves with its existence.

Research Implications: The study identified the need for schools to combat LGB-based school bullying.

Practical Implications: The study recommends open dialogues on gender diversity, discourages LGB-based bullying, empowers teachers to intervene, and promotes confidence in LGB-based learners.

Contribution to Literature: This research contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying and addressing the unique challenges associated with LGB-based school bullying.

Introduction: Acinetobacter baaumannii complex is a pathogen that causes nosocomial infections in immunocompromised patients, the microorganism is resistant to carbapenemics and is difficult to control in health units. Methods: this is a literature review on carbapenemics resistance of Acinetobacter baaumannii complex in Latin America. Different databases were used: Pubmed, Google Scholar, Scielo, Dialnet and Redalyc, for the selection of articles the inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied. In addition, the t-Student test was used to find significant values. Results: resistance to carbapenemics in A. baumannii complex is reported in all Latin American countries, predominantly the group of oxacillin family genes (OXA-23 and OXA-51), in contrast metallo-beta-lactamases are not very frequent and has been identified in fewer isolates; however, Peru and Argentina showed high percentages of resistance; also the samples that present more isolates of this microorganism are tracheal aspirates. Conclusions: this literature review shows the situation of resistance to carbapenemics in Latin America, the different genes identified have conferred high resistance to this microorganism. It is necessary to maintain surveillance of this microorganism in order to investigate new therapeutic alternatives against this pathogen

Introduction: in Peru, publications indicate that the content of mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) in tuna exceeds the allowable maximum limits, leading to progressive health damage. Thus, communicating this threat is necessary.Objective: to ascertain the presence of Hg, Pb, and Cd in tuna intended for direct human consumption and its implications for public health in Peru.Methods: a systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 Statement. Information was retrieved from databases including Scopus, Latindex, Science Direct, and Google Scholar. Twelve articles were selected for analysis, following inclusion and exclusion processes.Results: there is a prevalence (41,66 %) of studies focusing on Hg concentration, while Pb and Cd were equally represented (16,67 % each). Regarding Peru, the presence of metals was reported in 29 % of the studies, indicating a higher tendency towards Hg consumption compared to Pb and Cd. However, the ingestion of any of these metals poses a significant risk to public health consumers.Conclusions: Tuna, a species that incorporates heavy metals into its edible muscular tissue, is predominantly monitored for mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) due to their toxicity and bioaccumulation characteristics, making them particularly hazardous to public health, especially in Peru. Thus, continuous monitoring is recommended

Context: Given the elusive nature of Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM), caused by Naegleria fowleri, early detection is vital, yet challenging due to limited clinical indicators. This research leverages Indonesia's rich biodiversity to explore novel sources of traditional medicine. Aims: To evaluate the potential compounds from Indonesian plants that possess antiamoebic and antifungal properties for inhibiting the N. fowleri CYP51 protein, crucial for cell integrity. Methods: Initially, 92 compounds were screened, and six were shortlisted following ADMETox evaluation. Subsequent steps encompassed QSAR analysis, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations. Results: The QSAR analysis verified the activity potential of these six compounds, progressing them to molecular docking analysis. Among these, curcumenol from Curcuma longa emerged as a promising contender, displaying the lowest binding affinity at -9.2 kcal/mol, indicative of superior binding compared to other ligands. Molecular dynamics simulations underscored the stability of all compounds, with root mean square fluctuation (RMSF) values within 1-3 Å. Conclusions: Consequently, employing a comprehensive approach spanning ADMETox, QSAR, molecular docking, and dynamics simulations, curcumenol emerged as the prime candidate for inhibiting the N. fowleri CYP51 protein, suggesting its potential as a PAM therapeutic agent.

Published: September 2023

En la presente investigación se analizará la inadmisión del recurso de casación, la cual carece de una revisión a profundidad  de los cargos expuestos por el recurrente, lo que se atribuye a un hecho de inequidad y atentado al derecho de acceso a la justicia, junto con la garantía de una tutela judicial efectiva, en tal virtud, es necesario el análisis de las contradicciones entre las prohibiciones y potestades emanadas del ordenamiento para los conjueces y jueces de la Corte Nacional de Justicia, en lo referente al recurso de casación interpuesto por error de Sana Crítica en la valoración probatoria. Consecuentemente, a través del estudio de autos y sentencias, se podrá evidenciar que las contradicciones en torno a la procedencia de la valoración probatoria en el recurso, nacen principalmente por la falta de comprensión de este método de valoración. Para demostrar lo aseverado se da una explicación teórica y práctica que permite entender los fundamentos de la Sana Crítica por medio del derecho comparado, considerando que es la inadecuación del ordenamiento y no la esencia pública del recurso como suele ser argumentado, lo que impide el conocimiento de los errores probatorios de hecho en el recurso de casación.
