Detailed approaches to heat and mass transfer by exponentially accelerating a fluid over an inclined plate subjected to temperature variation and uniform mass diffusion
Authors: Loganathan S. , Thamizhsudar M. , Muthucumaraswamy R.
Published: September 2024

The impact of heat and mass transfer on magneto hydro dynamic flow across an inclined plate with a Hall effect is examined in this research. We have tried to explain the Hall effect and how an inclination angle affects the flow field when the temperature is varying and mass diffusion is uniform. One finds the energy, momentum, and concentration equations as coupled second-order partial differential equations (PDEs). The model’s non-dimensionality and the fact that it is governed by many dimensionless parameters are proven. A solution to the resulting system of dimensionless PDE can be found by applying the Laplace transform. Numbers such as the Prandtl number (PrN), the magnetic parameter (M), the Hall parameter (m), the rotation parameter (Ω), and the angle of inclination (α) on the velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles, as well as graphical and qualitative explanations of the relevant parameters, are presented alongside the numerical results for these variables.
Exploring the properties and applications of complex fuzzy cut vertices and bridges
Authors: Azhagendran N. , Ismayil A. Mohamed
Published: September 2024

Within the context of complex fuzzy graphs, this study presents and investigates the ideas of complex fuzzy cut vertices and complex fuzzy bridges. By adding degrees of membership or truth in edges, complex fuzzy graphs expand upon standard graph theory and provide a more complex representation of connections. By finding vertices whose removal will gradually affect the network’s connectedness due to various degrees of membership, we redefine cut vertices as complex fuzzy cut vertices. In a similar vein, we expand the concept of bridges to include complex fuzzy bridges and identify edges whose removal would cause progressive structural changes in the graph. This paper explores the characteristics, methods, and mathematical underpinnings of these ideas.

Pythagorean fuzzy shortest hyper path in a network
Authors: Basha M. Asim , Jabarulla M. Mohammed
Published: September 2024

Objectives: The Pythagorean fuzzy shortest hyperpath problem balances distance minimization with network fuzziness and uncertainty, considering node lengths, membership and non-membership degrees, when accurate data is unavailable or traditional methods cannot handle uncertain information. Methods: Pythagorean Fuzzy Dijkstra’s Algorithm uses Pythagorean fuzzy numbers as edge weights, while the A* algorithm considers fuzziness and uncertainty. Evolutionary, metaheuristic, linear programming, and fuzzy decision-making techniques can be used to solve the Pythagorean fuzzy shortest hyperpath problem. Findings: The Pythagorean fuzzy shortest hyper path algorithm is a useful tool for navigating complex networks under uncertainty, identifying optimal routes, quantifying uncertainty, and providing sensitivity, trade-off, and network resilience analysis. It’s applicable in transportation, logistics, telecommunications, and urban planning. Novelty: The Pythagorean fuzzy shortest hyper path algorithm is a network pathfinding method that uses fuzzy logic principles in graph theory. It quantifies ambiguity along paths, enabling informed decision-making in uncertain environments. This algorithm is applicable across various domains, bridging theoretical concepts with practical applications.

Authors: Devi A. , Sivakami L.
Published: September 2024

An inclined channel is used to study the flow of an unsteady MHD free convection fluid under mass transfer and heat transfer with chemical reaction. In order to obtain the expression for velocity, temperature and concentration, the highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations of the flow were transformed into ordinary differential equations. The expression for velocity, temperature and concentration is obtained using regular perturbation parameters. We show the effects of various parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration, including Schmidt number, thermal Grashof number, singular Grashof number, chemical reaction, and angle of inclination.

Contribuição do controle externo para o aprimoramento de política pública: o caso da compensação ambiental e a atuação do Tribunal de Contas da União
Authors: Oliveira Weder de
Published: September 2024

A Lei 9.985/2000 instituiu o Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação da Natureza (SNUC). No art. 36, estabeleceu para o empreendedor de empreendimento de significativo impacto ambiental a obrigação de “apoiar a implantação e manutenção de unidade de conservação do Grupo de Proteção Integral”. A natureza jurídica dessa obrigação, a forma de ser cumprida e a gestão dos recursos sempre foram controversas. O tema vem sendo debatido na doutrina e foi discutido na ADI 3378 e em fiscalizações conduzidas pelo Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU). Este artigo visa demonstrar a contribuição que o controle externo proporcionou ao aprimoramento normativo e à funcionalidade, com segurança jurídica, do modelo definido no mencionado art. 36. As auditorias do TCU constituíram um fórum amplo e eclético, no qual a complexa dinâmica dessa obrigação legal foi longamente debatida, à luz da higidez do ordenamento orçamentário brasileiro, e soluções para os diversos problemas foram propostas, resultando na Lei 13.668/2018, que disciplinou um novo modelo de destinação e aplicação dos recursos oriundos da compensação ambiental. Os próximos passos antevistos na atuação do controle externo vão no sentido de avaliar o desempenho da nova sistemática, continuando o processo de indução do aprimoramento jurídico e operacional desse instituto, ainda a suscitar estranhamentos teóricos, que se tornou fonte imprescindível de financiamento do fortalecimento do SNUC.

Authors: Azizah Siti Nur , Suwartono Tono , Nurhayati Sri , Sungkawati Endang , Nur'aeni Nur'aeni
Published: September 2024

The Covid-19 crisis has forced educational institutions to conduct online learning. However, the technology readiness and acceptance of the human resource to this shift towards distance education via Learning Management System (LMS) remained in question. This is where the gap lies between the govt’s policy and LMS implementation reality. The current study aims to explore the Moodle LMS acceptance among undergraduate students throughout the Archipelago Indonesia during the pandemic and beyond by adopting a Unified Theory of Acceptance and Usage of Technologies (UTAUT) model to better explain the students' behavioral intentions. Data has been gathered from 510 undergraduate students via online questionnaire with the help of Google Form. We used adapted questionnaire and tried it out before being administered. Using the Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modelling to analyze the data, this study has found that the original UTAUT constructs, except for effort expectancy and facilitating conditions, can influence the intention of using the Moodle LMS. This study also has revealed that both computer self-efficacy and other-efficacy directly affect the intention of utilizing Moodle application for e-learning platform. Furthermore, experience positively moderated computer-self efficacy and negatively other-efficacy as hypothesized. The findings indicate that Performance Expectancy and Social Influences are confirmed to have contributed to UTAUT Model, while Effort Expectancy and Facilitating Condition are not. In addition, constructs within Social Cognitive Theory, i.e. Other Efficacy, Computer Self Efficacy and Behavioral Intention are totally confirmed both directly and indirectly.  With regard to the findings, practical recommendations have also been given at the end.
The Impact of Effective Implementation of the 5S Concept on Company Performance: A Case Study of a Manufacturing Company
Authors: Akram Muhammad Waseem , Abbas Ansar , Khan Irfan Ahmad , Ahmad Muhammad Farooq
Published: September 2024

Purpose- This study examines how 5S affects a Pakistani manufacturing company’s operation. The investigation was quantitative. A Pakistani electrical manufacturer received the poll. At least 180 replies were collected from 200 samples.
Methodology-This study investigated hypotheses from a conceptual model of the 5S concept and productivity using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The statistics showed that 5S improved the organization's productivity.
Results-The results also demonstrated that the 5S technique increased role productivity and organization success. Successfully applying 5S can boost company productivity. Productivity increases using the 5S method—Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Each of the five independent variables (5S variables) significantly affected the dependent variable prediction.
Implication-The study found that implementing 5S in an organization should be seen as a full productivity system. Productivity does not increase with 5S. However, it encourages lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, Total Productive Maintenance, and Kaizen, which boosts company productivity.

Authors: Inayat Humaira , Tasneem Fatima
Published: September 2024

Purpose- The present study intends to expand the research on organizational exploitation as there is a vast opportunity to examine this phenomenon in organizational behavior research. This is an endeavor to examine the impact of organizational exploitation on prohibitive voice behavior by investigating the moderating role of coworker emotional support.
Study Design/Methodology/Approach - Data are collected from health, hospitality, and education using a time-lagged design employing quantitative research design and convenience sampling with a 2-3 weeks’ time lag between each wave. Organizational exploitation was tapped at time 1, moderator (time 2), and outcome (Time 3).
Findings- The results indicate that organizational exploitation is positively related to prohibitive voice, and coworker emotional support moderates the relationship between organizational exploitation and prohibitive voice.
Practical Implications - Organizations in the health, hospitality, and education sectors can implement the findings of the present study to encourage voice behaviors for their employees, especially the prohibitive voice because it is more salient in assessing harmful workplace practices.
Study limitations - Firstly, the data was collected using convenience sampling, and the results of the present study cannot be generalized to another population. Secondly, this study did not control constructs similar to organizational exploitation, i.e., organizational cruelty, organizational obstructions, and perceived organizational injustice.
Originality/Novelty - Authors have extensively studied organizational exploitation, and it is to the best of the author's knowledge that previously, the given theoretical framework has not been examined in the existing literature.
The Impact of Ownership Structure on Firm Performance of Financial Firms: Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Ahmed Jawad , Siddiqui Atif Atique , Mehmood Omer , Qayyum Abdul
Published: September 2024

Purpose- The present study examines the impact of ownership structure on firm financial performance.
Study Design/Methodology/Approach - Primary data was collected through questionnaires distributed in Lahore and Islamabad stock exchanges. The sample included 613 investors, and data analysis was conducted using AMOS. The study analyzed the complete sample and further examined the two CSR dimensions for robustness across genders, distinguishing between male and female investors.
Findings- We find government ownership (GO) has a highly significant and positive impact on return on assets (ROA) as well as return on equity (ROE). Institutional ownership (IO) also has a positive and significant effect on ROE. Similarly, foreign ownership showed one of the most robust and strongest associations with Tobin’s Q and Market-to-Book Ratio, with a highly significant positive relation with both ratios, reflecting its influence on market valuation and growth potential. Our study finds no significant relationship between family ownership with any accounting and market-based variable.
Practical Implications- The findings of this study provide useful insights for investors, corporate managers, and the government sector about the ownership structure's impact on a firm’s performance. This research suggests an increase in Government and Foreign Ownership can significantly improve the performance of financial firms.
Originality/Novelty- Our study contributes to the existing literature on ownership structures and focuses on its impact on financial firms’ performance in the context of emerging markets like Pakistan.
The Three ESG Pillars, Firm Value and Financial Performance: A Comparison of Developed and Emerging Markets
Authors: Siddiqui Ozair , Khan Naveed , Sohail Muhammad Khalid
Published: September 2024

Purpose-Current study examines the impact of E, S, and G factors separately on firm performance and value of developed and emerging markets, a perspective overlooked in current literature.
Design/Methodology/Approach-The study uses a large international sample comprising 614 non-financial firms with 8,484 unbalanced observations, segregated between emerging and developed markets. The study estimates the output using the Generalized Least Square (GLS) technique.
Findings- Our study presents two novel findings in these markets. In the case of developed markets, we find that E, S, and G positively affect firm financial performance and firm value. However, in emerging markets we find that E, S, and G have mixed (that is, negative and positive, and significant and insignificant) effects on firm performance and firm value.
Practical implications- Our findings show that the positive impact of ESG pillars on firm value and performance in developed markets must incentivize senior management to enhance their sustainability commitment. This model should be replicated in emerging markets as well. Additionally, from the perspective of regulatory bodies, specifically considering emerging markets, our findings can help understand the causes of the unfavorable association between ESG practices, investor expectations, and firm performance.
Originality/Value-Previous literature mainly focuses on the overall ESG score when evaluating its impact on firm-specific variables. Additionally, the institutional settings and market dynamics of developed and emerging markets are significantly different and must be considered when interpreting results or developing empirical models. The current study addresses these gaps.
Determinants of Climate Action Integration in Health Sector Policy Making in Kenya.
Authors: Nyanjau Loise , Mutungi (PhD) Joseph , Sidha (PhD) Zedekiah
Published: September 2024

The increasing threat of climate change poses significant challenges to global health, with Kenya being particularly vulnerable to its impacts. As temperatures rise and extreme weather events become more frequent, the country faces a growing burden of climate-related health challenges such as vector-borne diseases, malnutrition, and waterborne illnesses. In response to this threat, Kenya has taken steps to integrate climate action into its health policies, recognizing the urgent need to address the nexus between climate change and health. Despite these efforts, climate action has not been fully integrated into the health sector policies, necessitating this study to establish the barriers thereof. The study used a mixed methods approach and integrated key informant interviews and surveys to collect data, which was then analyzed using various inferential statistics. Statistical techniques such as t-tests, chi-square tests, and regression analyzes were used to identify significant patterns and relationships within the quantitative data. In addition, thematic analysis was used to interpret the qualitative data from the interviews and highlight key themes and insights related to integrating climate action in the health sector. The mixed-methods design followed an explanatory sequential approach, first collecting quantitative data from surveys to provide a comprehensive overview of climate action integration, followed by qualitative interviews to explore these findings in more depth. The target audience consisted of health sector stakeholders, including policymakers, practitioners and climate health experts. Participants were selected through purposive sampling to ensure relevant expertise and perspectives, supplemented by snowball sampling to further broaden the participant base. This comprehensive methodology enabled a detailed examination of the motivations, contexts, progress and barriers impacting the integration of climate action. While existing policy frameworks demonstrate a commitment to addressing climate-related health issues, challenges such as institutional silos, resource disparities, conflicting priorities, and complex stakeholder dynamics emerged as significant barriers to effective integration. Despite these challenges, opportunities exist to enhance integration through targeted actions focused on increasing awareness, improving data availability, strengthening governance structures, and garnering political support at all levels of government.
Participatory Budgeting and Implementation of Urban Upgrading Projects in Kenya
Authors: Amolo, PhD Dr. Amolo Elvis Juma
Published: September 2024

In Kenya, Urban planning processes including budgeting is characterized by citizen non-engagement especially in low income communities since the city elites prefer top-down approach and this has led to a series of project failures. The purpose of the study is to establish the influence of Participatory Budgeting on Implementation of Urban Upgrading Projects in Kisumu City, Kenya. The study will be grounded on Arnstein’s ladder of participation. The study adopted desk review. The study found that projects resulting from participatory budgeting are cheaper and sustainable due to community control and oversight and transformation into a more open, deliberative and collaborative process. However, in spite of the Kenya’s 2010 Constitution and succeeding enactment of the County Governments Act and the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 requiring open involvement on issues of public fund to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, participation has been consumed as a formality. Governments use participatory rhetoric and limited gestures toward increased budget transparency and community budget consultations to assuage donors and reduce tensions with civil society, but they do not meaningfully engage with the process. Even if Public Budgeting processes contribute positively to the delivery of basic services, they are still limited in their capacity to meet the scale of the needs and the depth of citizens’ aspirations. To achieve the Millennium Development Goals, local governments should be involved, for stronger promotion of public participation in budgeting for urban upgrading projects.
Participatory Planning and Implementation of Urban Upgrading Projects in Kenya
Authors: Juma Amolo, PhD Dr. Amolo Elvis
Published: September 2024

In Kenya, Urban planning processes is characterized by citizen non-engagement especially in low income communities since the city elites prefer top-down approach and this has led to a series of project failures coupled with forced evictions and violation of economic and social rights of the urban poor. The purpose of the study is to establish the influence of Participatory Planning on Implementation of Urban Upgrading Projects in Kenya. The study is grounded on Stakeholders’ theory. The study design involved desk review. The study found that whilst there is no specific policy for urban renewal in Kenya, there has been urban renewal projects carried out in different cities and towns. The situation has been aggravated by inadequate public participation in planning urban renewal projects due to dormancy in participatory planning of urban renewal by responsible authorities, limited resources and lack of political goodwill. Though there is evidence of social groups within the estates, they lack a strong and coherent neighborhood residents’ association that would act as key stakeholder during the planning, implementation and maintenance of the estate during urban renewal. Effective participation of residents in rebuilding their community reduces the risk of disintegration of existing networks or homelessness. Critical to the success of projects is the early and continuous integration of the community in the planning, decision-making and implementation process as this would lower costs, better target peoples’ needs, incorporate local knowledge, ensure that benefits are equitably distributed and create grassroots capacity to undertake other development projects besides maintaining benefits.
Միֆաբանական սկզբնաղբյուրները որպես միջտեքստայնության նախադեպային տեքստեր / Mythical Primary Sources as Precedent Texts of Intertextuality
Authors: Zakaryan Hripsime
Published: September 2024

The theory of precedent is one of the most actively developing areas in
modern literary criticism. In modern literature, especially in Armenian poetry
of recent decades, the most popular and frequent sources of precedent are
mythical and biblical texts, Christian myths.
The use of myth in a literary work and the transformation of myth help
create a unique literary symbolic world in which the multifaceted aspects of
contemporary reality are intricately reflected. Therefore, a comprehensive
analysis of the application of myth in a literary text becomes the key through
which one can unveil the mystery of the work's unifying power and
characterize the philosophical nature and spirit of a particular historical
period.
The use of myth in a literary work manifests in different ways. In some
cases, it involves identical repetitions of mythic plots, while in others, it serves
a formal-structural function as a means of completing the artistic narrative.
All types of myth, whether ancient or modern, serve as an ideological
fabric built on collective emotions and feelings, intricately intertwined in the
consciousness, forming a complex, multilayered system by their nature. Myth,
being a product of imagination, enters the artistic structure as a precedent
text, reflecting the originality of the author's thought and the original world
and conceptual system that is uniquely manifested in a work of art.
By building his artistic world on mythological foundations and
intertwining mythological sources with artistic structure and generalizations,
the author transforms myth. As a result, within ideological and psychological
interpretation of myth, an artistic structure emerges with its unique
expressive, linguistic, structural, and semantic features.
Միֆական Լիլիթի կերպարի երկատման առանձնահատկությունները գրականության մեջ / The Dichotomy of the Mythic Character “Lilit” And Its Portrayal in Fiction
Authors: Ghulyan Artak
Published: September 2024

The paper is devoted to the study of the mythic character of "Lilit" and
its depiction in fiction. Despite numerous attempts by psychologists,
philosophers, writers, and literary critics to analyze this character from
diverse angles, it has yet to receive a comprehensive scientific explanation.
The examination of the evolution of Lilit's character, from its origins to
its portrayal in various cultural beliefs and its distinct representations in world
literature, reveals duality and dichotomy within the character that warrants
further scholarly investigation.
A organização do trabalho e a busca por autonomia das famílias produtoras de queijo de coalho artesanal do Agreste Pernambucano
Authors: de Medeiro Inã Cândido
Published: September 2024

Esta pesquisa aborda os processos de modernização no campo, indagando como esses meios de controle interferem na produção e comercialização de queijo de coalho artesanal no Agreste Pernambucano. No estado pernambucano, constata-se que, independentemente da grande importância socioeconômica do queijo de coalho artesanal, muitos produtores familiares estão, segundo as normas, na “clandestinidade” e vivem sob constante ameaça de apreensão porque suas mercadorias passam a ser consideradas ilegais pela vigilância sanitária. As situações vividas pelos produtores familiares para a elaboração e comercialização desses alimentos foram analisadas com base nas contribuições de teóricos que há décadas estudam o campesinato (Brandão, 1999; Woortmann, 1990), como objeto legítimo das Ciências Sociais. Levando em consideração o contexto pandêmico da Covid-19, investigou-se como tais atores sociais, sobretudo dos municípios de São Bento e Capoeiras, em sua luta por autonomia, por fim constatando que eles mobilizam diferentes estratégias para lidar com a dinâmica técnico-industrializante como meio de organizar o seu modo de vida, para permanecerem em suas atividades produtivas.

Published: September 2024

Energy independence and sustainable development are critical issues in international relations. As the world population grows and industrialization and urbanization continue, there is a surge in energy demand. At the same time, environmental concerns and limited natural resources have made sustainable energy systems a pressing issue. Achieving energy independence and sustainable development is a crucial policy objective for many countries. Energy independence aims to reduce dependence on foreign energy sources and ensure energy supply security, while sustainable development aims to meet current energy needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own. International cooperation is essential to achieving energy independence and sustainable development. Countries need to work together to ensure a stable and secure global energy supply while also reducing carbon emissions. Renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal power have enormous potential to promote both energy independence and sustainable development.Energy independence and sustainable development are essential components of the global energy transition. By promoting renewable energy sources, developing new technologies, and cooperating internationally, governments and organizations can ensure a stable and secure global energy supply while reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable development.

Authors: Alkatiry Hannan , Triantama Febry
Published: September 2024

This research aimed to analyze the dynamics of United States arms sales to Taiwan. Taiwan as a country that is facing threats from China needs military technology weapons in maintaining its country's security. The conflict between China and Taiwan, namely territorial disputes, brought Taiwan to the United States as an ally and carried out defense cooperation by increasing arms sales to Taiwan. The United States has been carrying out arms sales since the era of President Jimmy Carter through the Regional Law, namely the Taiwan Relations Act (TRA) as the first step in cooperation in arms sales to Taiwan. The implementation was rejected by President Barack Obama over Taiwan's request for the sale of F-16C/D fighters. Using the Power and Influence theory The research focused on looking at how the United States sold the more advanced F-16 Viper fighter but previously rejected the sale of F-16C/Ds to Taiwan. The research methods used are descriptive qualitative methods and data collection through library research. The results of this study show a change in policy that there is a Security Dilemma in rejecting the F-16 C/D and selling an even more sophisticated F-16 Viper because there is Power and Influence through the actors involved and want to bring the United States to become an influential country in the world.

A cloud computing network is an autonomous collection of linked computers that communicate with one another intelligibly and independently using various protocols. It is important that this communication be done securely. There are times when this security is compromised by various attacks. Therefore, symmetric and asymmetric cryptography algorithms are used to communicate securely. Data availability, confidentiality, integrity, non-repudiation, and authentication are all made possible with the aid of cryptography. With the help of a shared key between the sender and the recipient, each block of data that is processed by this newly suggested cryptography algorithm is encrypted. This algorithm has enhanced security features that make it more resistant to all kinds of attacks. These features support the speed and security of both the RSA and AES algorithms. This algorithm is more secure than previous ones because it has three stages of execution for encryption and decryption. You can use MATLAB R2019a to implement the suggested algorithm. Three factors, including the avalanche effect, performance, and security against different types of attacks, will be examined in relation to this suggested algorithm that goes through several stages of encryption and decryption.

Se trata de um órgão do Poder Judiciário, que possui a competência de processar e julgar os crimes militares, primando pelas diretrizes da hierarquia e disciplina, bem como demais princípios corolários da jurisdição nacional. O método utilizado na pesquisa foi a revisão bibliográfica, tomando como base os seguintes recursos: obras de referência, doutrina, legislação específicas, jurisprudência do STF, STJ e STM, além de pareceres do Ministério Público e trabalhos acadêmicos. O estudo se dedica a observar o contexto sociojurídico-legal no qual se insere, compreendendo a lógica do sistema penal militar no Brasil e a sua complexa celeuma quanto à necessidade e adequação, notadamente no que concerne à possibilidade de servir como verdadeiro tribunal de exceção. Busca-se, portanto, entender se de fato existem desafios de ordem estrutural: normativos, institucionais, socioculturais e políticos, que vão de encontro ao estabelecimento e ao respeito de tal desiderato fundamental humano.

Introdução: A saúde mental masculina é frequentemente negligenciada, influenciada por fatores culturais e sociais que reforçam a ideia de que os homens devem ser fortes e invulneráveis. Essa masculinidade tradicional contribui para a baixa procura por serviços de saúde e para o subdiagnóstico de transtornos mentais. Objetivo: Conhecer, por meio da literatura, a prevalência e os fatores associados ao adoecimento mental na população masculina. Metodologia: este estudo é uma revisão integrativa da literatura, na qual se baseia na questão norteadora: “Quais os impactos a saúde que o uso de cigarros eletrônicos pode causar?”. No qual a seleção dos artigos a busca foi realizada através da BVS por meio das bases de dados indexadas LILACS, MEDLINE e BDEN. Com base nos descritores cadastrados no DeSC: “adoecimento mental”, “população masculina” e “saúde mental e homem”. Combinados com o operador booleano “AND”. Foram adotados os critérios de inclusão: artigos completos, publicados nos últimos 5 anos, nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol. Foram excluídos: teses, monografias, dissertações e trabalhos que não estavam em acordo com a temática. Resultados e Discussão: Os artigos analisados indicam uma prevalência significativa de transtornos mentais em homens, embora esses sejam frequentemente subdiagnosticados. A discrepância entre a menor prevalência de diagnósticos formais de depressão e a alta incidência de suicídios entre homens sugere um subdiagnóstico, possivelmente devido à dificuldade dos homens em reconhecer e expressar sofrimento emocional. O modelo tradicional de masculinidade, que desencoraja a expressão de vulnerabilidade, contribui para comportamentos autodestrutivos, como abuso de substâncias e violência, além de dificultar a busca por ajuda. Essa "crise silenciosa" da saúde mental masculina reflete a pressão social para que os homens mantenham uma aparência de controle, dificultando o acesso a tratamentos adequados. Conclusão: É necessário desafiar estereótipos de masculinidade e promover a expressão emocional para melhorar o acesso dos homens ao tratamento e suporte psicológico adequados.

No Brasil, a integração de indivíduos portadoras do TEA no ambiente profissional está assegurada pela mesma legislação que estabelece a cota mínima para a contratação de pessoas com deficiências. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é avaliar a eficiência das políticas e programas de Emprego Apoiado na integração laboral de pessoas com TEA, identificando os benefícios dessa integração tanto para os indivíduos quanto para as organizações. A metodologia utilizada foi uma revisão integrativa da literatura, com buscas realizadas nas bases de dados SciELO, nos Periódicos da UFSM e na plataforma Periódicos da CAPES, compreendendo o intervalo entre 2015 e 2023. A revisão totalizou 10 artigos, no qual a predominância está na percepção da deficiência como principal atributo das pessoas com TEA no contexto profissional. Nesta pesquisa, conclui-se que, apesar de os estudos apresentarem projetos e iniciativas voltados para uma inserção e manutenção mais justas de pessoas com TEA no mercado de trabalho, persistem desafios significativos. Tais desafios incluem as dificuldades de socialização enfrentadas por pessoas com TEA e a ineficiência na formação profissional que leva em consideração suas necessidades específicas.

Esse artigo buscou investigar o perfil dos consumidores de café em uma instituição pública de Marília (SP), identificando os fatores que influenciam suas decisões de compra e preferências de consumo. A pesquisa foi realizada no primeiro trimestre de 2024, utilizando um questionário estruturado aplicado a 117 funcionários, representando 78% do total de 150 colaboradores da instituição. A análise estatística foi conduzida com o software BioEstat 5.3, considerando variáveis como gênero, faixa etária, escolaridade e hábitos de consumo. Os resultados revelaram que a maioria dos entrevistados possui ensino superior e que as preferências de consumo variam entre o café puro e adoçado, com destaque para o consumo durante intervalos de trabalho e refeições. Além disso, observou-se uma maior exigência por qualidade e diferenciação nos produtos consumidos. Conclui-se que o comportamento dos consumidores de café na instituição é influenciado por fatores culturais e sociais, refletindo uma busca por experiências sensoriais e qualidade. Este estudo contribui para a compreensão do mercado de cafés especiais e pode auxiliar na formulação de estratégias de marketing direcionadas a esse público.

Introdução: A sífilis é uma doença infectocontagiosa crônica que pode apresentar manifestações cutâneas e sistêmicas. A via sexual é a principal forma de transmissão, podendo também ocorrer através de transfusão sanguínea (rara atualmente) ou de acidentes com material perfurocortante contaminado. A transmissão vertical, via transplacentária ou via hematogênica justifica os casos de sífilis congênita, a qual se relaciona com altas taxas de morbimortalidade neonatal. Tais elementos configuram a sífilis gestacional como problema de saúde pública ao mesmo tempo que destacam a importância do acompanhamento pré-natal adequado para a prevenção de tais desfechos. Objetivo: Descrever a taxa de sífilis congênita e o número de consultas de pré-natal ocorridas no Brasil between the years 2017 and 2022. Métodos: Tratar-se-á de estudo ecológico, portanto de agregado, observacional e transversal. Resultados: Em 2017, a incidência de casos de sífilis côngenita foi de 8,68 casos para cada 1.000 nascidos vivos. Nos anos de 2018 a 2020 os valores se mantiveram próximos, contudo, a partir de 2021, foi constatado um aumento da incidência para 10,10 casos para cada 1000 nascidos-vivos, dentre as gestantes que realizaram pelo menos uma consulta pré-natal. Entretanto, destaca-se a maior incidência de sífilis congênita, dentro do grupo de pacientes cujo as mães não realizaram nenhuma consulta pré-natal, este valor chegou a 84,56 casos para cada 1.000 nascidos vivos.
