Insurgency and Natural Resource extraction in Nigeria: theoretical and empirical linkages Nigeria
Authors:   Department of Political Studies & International Relations, School of Government Studies, North West University, Mafikeng, South Africa, Ojakorotu Victor
Published: December 2022

This paper seeks to establish a theoretical and empirical linkage between insurgency and natural resource extraction in Nigeria. It notes that owing to the weakness of the Nigerian state and the lack of political will to address the underlying causes of the insurgency in the country, armed insurgents have taken control of many of the country’s extractive processes. This results in massive resource theft and creates an allure for the spread of theatres of insurgency across the country. This has partly been responsible for Nigeria’s abysmal oil production per day and earnings from oil, despite the country's increased production quota by OPEC due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Dwelling on the frustration-aggression and relative deprivation theories, the paper concludes that ungoverned artisanal resource extraction remains a source of insecurity in Nigeria and recommends, among others, that the Nigerian state should develop the political will to address insurgency and its drivers in the country.

This study aims to investigate the behaviours of entrepreneurs towards business sustainability in response to the impact of climate change. The study provides a South African perspective on entrepreneurial business sustainability and an analysis of business sustainability. Adopting a desktop study, a comprehensive literature review that utilised recent data through various databases such as EBSCO host, Scopus, Taylor and Francis and Google Scholar was carried out. Findings reflect that entrepreneurs are impacted positively by entrepreneurial business sustainability through financial gains and reduced operational costs. Entrepreneurs, globally, have contributed to entrepreneurial business sustainability by trying to reduce energy consumption and waste in their business operations through the sustainable practices they undertake such as reducing resources and emissions. The study found that entrepreneurial business sustainability has positively impacted entrepreneurship goals, society and the environment which is evident in better business efficiencies. This impact is achieved through decreased emissions, decreased pollution, proper waste management and by being eco- friendly. Consequently, these actions have resulted in increased sales.

Purpose: Sustainability disclosures are being increasingly adopted as value relevant by investors but they are still in a budding stage in India. The present study examines the factors affecting emission revelation by Indian companies. Methodology: The emission data disclosed by 39 Indian companies on the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) are taken as samples for this study and the relevant financial data of these companies are collected for analysis. A logistic regression approach has been applied to determine the disclosure possibility of selected companies. Findings: From the findings, it is inferred that the size, profitability and leverage are the key determinants of emission disclosure for the sample firms. While size has a significant positive impact, profitability and leverage are negatively related to emission revelation. Practical Implications: The current research will add value to the existing environmental research, especially in emerging economies. Further, it will assist managers and practitioners in formulating and implementing the disclosure policy. Originality: This article has contributed to the preliminary investigations on carbon emission data, disclosed by Indian companies on CDP. In this study, the size, profitability and leverage along with the environmental sensitivity of the industry were chosen as independent variables to understand disclosure practices in a better way.

Published: December 2022

Introduction. As a major cause of both temporary and permanent disability, ischemic stroke is the most common type of cerebrovascular accident (CVA).
Objective. To assess fatal outcome probability in the acute period of ischemic stroke.
Materials and methods. We performed post-hoc analysis of the fatal outcome probability in the patients with acute ischemic stroke at the Neurology Department of the Ufa Emergency Hospital, the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russian Federation. The analysis included data from the randomly selected medical records of 31 patients with fatal outcomes and 55 patients discharged with favorable outcomes.
Results. The patients with fatal outcomes were significantly (p 0.001) older, with more severe strokes and a higher prevalence of disorders of consciousness, medical co-morbidities, and recurrent strokes as compared to the group of patients with favorable outcomes. Regression coefficients showed that brain herniation, kidney and liver disease, post-infarction cardiosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and atrial fibrillation were associated with a higher probability of the fatal outcome. Increased severity of disorders of consciousness, NIHSS and mRS scores, specific blood tests values, age, and heart rate were associated with a more probable fatal outcome, while elevated hemoglobin, total protein, red blood cells, and lymphocytes, a higher GCS score, and a history of hypotensive drug therapy were associated with a less probable fatal outcome.
Multivariate analysis showed that the stroke fatal outcome was related with the age, a NIHSS score, and elevated creatinine and total bilirubin levels.
Conclusion. The detected predictors of the stroke fatal outcome can be used as reference points to choose management strategy for patients in the acute period of ischemic stroke.

Introduction. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, and the development of biomarkers is essential due to complicated PD diagnosis and progression assessment.
Objective. To identify PD RNA markers by multiplex expression profiling of 760 genes associated with the main neuropathological processes.
Materials and methods. We studied the expression of 760 genes associated with the main neuropathological processes using Nanostring nCounter Human Neuropathology Panel in 29 blood samples obtained from PD patients, including 13 samples from those in the early stage and 16 samples from those in the advanced stage, and in 16 control blood samples.
Results. The comparison of gene expression in the patients with early PD and in the controls demonstrated differential expression of genes CDKN1A and CPT1B. The comparison of gene expression in the patients with advanced PD and in the controls showed LRP1 upregulation in the advanced PD group. We also revealed СPT1B upregulation in advanced disease, with a positive correlation between СPT1B expression and PD duration.
Discussion. The variably expressed genes may be relevant as PD biomarkers for diagnosis and progression assessment.
The structural patterns of the potentiation and the blockade of inhibitory cys-loop receptors through the transmembrane domain
Authors: Rossokhin Alexey V.
Published: December 2022

Anion-conducting cys-loop receptors activated by -aminobutyric acid (GABAАRs) and glycine (GlyRs) have inhibitory activity in the brain and spinal cord. GABAАRs and GlyRs are targets for various substances that potentiate or inhibit the receptor functions. Many of these substances are clinically significant agents to treat neurological and psychiatric conditions.
The review covers both our results and literature data on electrophysiology, mutations, and biochemistry of non-competitive antagonists, general anesthetics, barbiturates, and fenamates modulating GABAАRs and GlyRs. We focused on our own molecular modeling to determine the sites and the characteristics of binding of these substances to the GABAАR and GlyR transmembrane domain. With the structural patterns of the binding, we have identified possible molecular mechanisms of action for these substances.

Published: December 2022

Studying rhythmic neural synchronization (cross-frequency coupling in various ranges) is an emerging topic in present-day neurophysiology. One of the best-studied cross-frequency couplings is theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling that contributes to the cognitive function and may vary in patients with several conditions associated with cognitive impairment. Changes in theta-gamma coupling can be registered in a wide range of diseases associated with cognitive decline.
The review covers the physiological basics of theta-gamma coupling, its registration and calculation, correlation with cognitive test results in healthy volunteers, and changes in patients. We have discussed the results of the preliminary studies of frequency-dependent non-invasive brain stimulation based on theta-gamma coupling.
I quadri poetici di «Generale» di Francesco De Gregori
Authors: Milani Matteo
Published: December 2022

Con Generale (singolo di apertura dell’album De Gregori, 1978), Francesco De Gregori dipinge «un mare di immagini di altissimo linguaggio poetico in canzone, violente, esplosive, immediate, da non starci a pensare su». Questa struggente successione di quadri poetici e musicali (la collina, il treno, il Natale, le lacrime e il ritorno), una delle piú intense della tradizione cantautoriale italiana, trova la sua guida testuale e ritmica in un delicato, ma saldo equilibrio di strutture metriche, figure retoriche e scelte lessicali, interne alle singole strofe e trasversali all’intero componimento: la loro decodifica può aiutare a comprendere la forza incalzante di questa «gran canzone di pace» (Roberto Vecchioni).

Authors: Bellone Luca
Published: December 2022

Il saggio ha l’obiettivo di definire il complesso delle tendenze formali in atto nella narrativa dei giovani in Italia in un quadro cronologico limitato (l’ultimo biennio) e presenta i risultati di una serie di rilievi condotti su testualità, sintassi, stile e lessico interpretabili tanto in sincronia (in relazione alla varietà giovanile coeva di ambito orale) quanto secondo una prospettiva micro-diacronica (in rapporto cioè con la narrativa dei decenni precedenti). A tale fine è stato definito preliminarmente un corpus testuale composto da dieci opere che si concentrano su temi ed esperienze propri del mondo giovanile pubblicate, tra 2021 e 2022, da altrettanti autori, principalmente giovani, tutti, tranne uno (Jonathan Bazzi), esordienti.

Lo spazio del ruolo. La prospettiva di una docente giusinternazionalista counselor
Authors: Angela Lupone
Published: December 2022

Il volume è un contributo alla discussione sulla didattica innovativa e sulla gestione dei ruoli nell’Università. Si rivolge ai docenti e alle docenti, ma anche alla componente studentesca. Basato sulla personale esperienza dell’autrice, dischiude altri mondi possibili. Centrale è il tema della consapevolezza del ruolo, ovvero la capacità di riconoscere lo spazio del ruolo come un luogo che è necessario riempire e, se di altri, rispettare. In una tale prospettiva, orientata ad accompagnare l’aula, non solo nell’apprendimento della disciplina ma anche nella trasmissione delle competenze, l’autrice si interroga sul come una formazione di carattere esperienziale di impostazione sistemico-relazionale possa influire in senso trasformativo e migliorativo della metodologia didattica, con un approccio che mira a spostare il focus dall’insegnare all’apprendere. Nel diritto internazionale, per esempio, il tema dello spazio del ruolo si rispecchia in quello dell’estensione della sovranità nelle relazioni fra Stati e dei caratteri di interdipendenza, necessaria appartenenza, originarietà e parità della e nella Comunità internazionale. Le relazioni interindividuali e le relazioni internazionali sembrano così ricondotte ad un unico sistema.
An Overview on Data Mining and Data Fusion

Published: December 2022

Strong adoption of Internet and Communication technologies across industries in the last two decades has led to large-scale digitization of business processes. While this has helped in the instant availability of information, over the period, the source and amount of this information have increased multi-fold giving rise to Big Data. With the increase in volume, the relevance of data in its raw format continues to decrease over time. According to HACE Theorem, Big Data has autonomous sources being distributed and decentralized data in a complex relationship with each other. Making sense of this ever-growing large pool of data has become increasingly difficult and has created a new problem waning the initial gains made via the digitization of systems and processes. This gave rise to the evolution of multiple Data Mining techniques that have helped to classify large volumes of data into relevant segments and drive value to help provide meaningful information. To extract and discover knowledge from data, Knowledge Discovering Databases (KDD) help in the refining of data. This paper discusses various data mining techniques that help to identify patterns and relationships to help make business decisions using data analysis. Furthermore, the Data Fusion method is reviewed which deals with joint analysis of multiple inter-related datasets providing multiple complementary views to help further with precise decision-making.

As computational power has increased rapidly in recent years, deep learning techniques have found widespread use in wireless internet of things (IoT) networks, where they have shown remarkable results. In order to make the most of the data contained in graphs and their surrounding contexts, graph intelligence has seen extensive use in a wide variety of tailored wireless applications. However, the sensitive nature of client data poses serious challenges to conventional customization approaches, which depend on centralized graph learning on globe graphs. In this work, we introduce federated graph learning, dubbed FGL, that is capable of producing accurate personalization while still protecting clients' anonymity. To train graph intelligence models jointly based on distributed graphs inferred from local data, we employ a trustworthy model updating technique. In order to make use of graph knowledge beyond the scope of dynamic interplay, we present a trustworthy graph extension mechanism for incorporating high-level knowledge while yet maintaining confidentiality. Six customization datasets were used to show that with excellent trustworthy protection, FGL achieves 2.0% to 5.0% lower errors than the state-of-the-art federated customization approaches. For ethical and insightful personalization, FGL offers a potential path forward for mining distributed graph data.

Prof. Dr. Ali Budak, Türk edebiyatının başlangıcından XVIII. yüzyıla kadarki sürecini incelediği Metin Esaslı Bir Yaklaşımla Türk Edebiyatı Tarihi’nde, adından da anlaşılacağı üzere, şairleri ve yazarları değil metinleri odak noktası olarak alıyor. Türk edebiyatı gibi uzun so-luklu bir edebiyatın tarihini yazma yolculuğunda belirli bir yöntem ve disiplin içinde kalmak elbette çok önemlidir. Budak, edebî metinlerle okuyucuyu buluşturmayı da öncelikli bir gaye olarak ortaya koyuyor. Böylece okuyucuya başlangıçtan XVIII. yüzyıla kadarki Türk edebiyatı metinlerini doğrudan görme ve değerlendirme fırsatı veriyor. Budak’a göre, şimdiye kadar hazırlanmış Türk edebiyatı tarihlerinin çoğunluğu edebiyat değil edebiyatçılar tarihidurumun-dadır.

Published: December 2022

The article studies higher education institutions' management systems during the pandemic. The research field was determined by two modern higher educational institutions - Kyiv University named after Taras Shevchenko and Lviv Polytechnic National University. Their activities were evaluated on the basis of developed strategies, development plans and internal quality management documentation. The conducted research revealed a complex of interrelated problems. Technical problems are associated with the involvement and maintenance of relevant software complexes. Educational and methodological problems consist in the improvement and adaptation of methodological complexes and the system of evaluating the results of student learning in the aspect of control. Management problems focused on solving operational control over the educational process and its quality content. The research proved that the management of higher education institutions solves the identified problems independently through the formation of auxiliary departments of academic mobility, internal control and audit, targeted training, and international cooperation. However, it was noted that the problem related to communication - "student-teacher" remains unsolved, despite personal-oriented training in combination with traditional ones based on many years of pedagogical experience. In general, the necessity of applying flexible teaching methods to higher educational institutions to adapt to the long-term pandemic was noted.

Modern Ukrainian society is in a complex process of transformation in various spheres at the present stage of its historical development, including, in the field of education. The humanitarian development of the country and the world sets new tasks for the national education system, the solution of which is inefficient within the framework of the existing methodology. Currently, the issue of analysing the efficiency of the higher education system and its adaptability in the field of training specialists of various profiles to constant and changing processes in various spheres of the society is of particular relevance. The inconsistency of the scientific-theoretical and scientific-practical level of the quality control model of higher education has determined the problem of the necessity to analyse the existing models in order to improve their individual aspects. The purpose of the academic paper is to study the existing models of quality control of the educational process in higher education and to clarify the practical features of the development of such models from the perspective of participants in the learning process in higher educational institutions. Methodology. In the course of the research, the analytical-bibliographic method was used to study the scientific literature on the issues of quality control of the educational process in higher educational institutions, as well as a questionnaire survey in order to clarify in practice the certain aspects of developing the models for the quality management of education in higher educational institutions. Results. Based on the results of the research, the features of implementing the individual models of quality control of the educational process in higher educational institutions were studied, and the main principles and characteristics that should be taken into account when developing such a model for each individual institution of higher education were clarified.

Published: December 2022

The problem of teaching mathematics in modern Ukrainian schools is general, but it has become more difficult for students with a non-mathematical background. Despite numerous studies of this problem, no specific recommendations have been made. Therefore, to develop and implement an experimental method of teaching mathematics aimed at activating the cognitive activity of non-mathematical specialties pupils. The goal was solved by conducting a questionnaire among students and teachers, which allowed us to reveal and deepen the aspects of the specified problem. Two groups were created: experimental and control. The experimental group studied according to the new model of education, and the control group - according to traditional methods of teaching mathematics. The study revealed a complex of interrelated problems, both for teachers and students. Among the problems, the lack of motivational mechanisms and a complex pedagogical approach to explaining mathematics and the limited amount of teaching mathematics to students with a non-mathematical background are of primary importance. The results of the study indicate the need to introduce the specifics of conducting classes, which would focus on understanding the subject through imaginative thinking. The need to develop textbooks and manuals, which would focus on a more in-depth and understandable teaching of the subject with exercises and tasks for humanitarian areas, has been proven. At the same time, such measures became urgent due to the introduction of quarantine measures of the Covid-2019 pandemic.

Patient Disparities and Provider Diversity in Orthopedic Surgery: A Complex Relationship
Authors: Wright Melissa A. , Murthi Anand M. , Aleem Alexander , Zmistowski Benjamin
Published: December 2022

Disparities in the access to, utilization of, and outcomes after orthopaedic surgery are a notable problem in the field that limits patients' ability to access the highest level of care and achieve optimal outcomes. Disparities exist based on numerous sociodemographic factors, with sex and race/ethnicity being two of the most well-studied factors linked to disparities in orthopaedic care. These disparities cross all subspecialties and tend to negatively affect women and racial/ethnic minorities. The increased recognition of the disparities in orthopaedic care has been paralleled by an increased recognition of the lack of diversity among orthopaedic surgeons. Although efforts are being made to improve the representation of women and underrepresented minorities among orthopaedic surgeons, the numbers, particularly of racial and ethnic minorities, show little improvement. The lack of gender and racial diversity among orthopaedic surgeons may be one of many factors related to the gender and racial disparities seen in orthopaedic care. Patients may prefer a provider that they can better identify with and that may affect care. Orthopaedic surgery as a specialty must continue to work to foster an inclusive environment and make concerted efforts to improve diversity through the recruitment of women and underrepresented minorities, among others, for the benefit of patients, surgeons, and the continued growth of the field as a whole.
“Awakening the Sleeping Tiger”
Authors: Djuharto Gumulya
Published: December 2022

This article discusses the centrality of 1 Kings 2:15 for the interpretation of the entire text of 1 Kings 2 and its function in constructing an imaginative picture of a friendly communication style as part of the ruler’s policy in running his government. To achieve this goal, I use Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutics of phenomenology, which is sharpened by John Comaroff’s and Jean Comaroff’s hermeneutics of suspicion. I will use this perspective as a framework for Oliver Glanz’s shifting participant theory as a basis for analysis of 1 Kings 2:15. The result is a friendly and generous communication style in a balanced and proportional way.
The Role of Catholic Religious Education Teachers in Developing Moral Values for High School Students: A Case Study at Parbuluan
Authors: Tibo Paulinus , Lumban Tobing Ona Sastri
Published: December 2022

Teenagers experience a crisis of moral values such as honesty, justice, discipline, responsibility, wisdom, and fear of God. Teenager moral problems are a concern for parents, families, schools and society in general. Currently, the most important factor for students in schools is moral education. The presence of religious teachers in schools through Catholic religious education is very important for the moral development of students in dealing with this reality. This study aimed to determine the role of teachers in developing the moral values of class X and XI students at State Senior High School 1 Parbuluan. This study employs a qualitative methodology. Catholic Religious Education Teachers, Deputy Principals, and Students were interviewed for this study. The function of Catholic Religious Education Teachers in Developing Moral Values is to cultivate the spiritual, social, and behavioral attitudes of students. Teachers encourage and guide students to possess moral values like honesty, responsibility, justice, and discipline. Catholic teachers continue to have deficiencies in developing the moral values of their students, as evidenced by the fact that students are still tardy in entering and submitting assignments. Catholic teachers have not done their utmost to foster moral students, particularly in the application of honesty, responsibility, justice, and discipline. School conditions and situations have not maximally influenced the moral values of students. Recommendations for schools need to do character building education for students and moral education to become extra-curricular activities in schools.
The Consequences of Excessive Vegetable Production
Authors: Sanchez Heronima
Published: December 2022

Using a survey-interview method on 50 randomly selected farmers, the study intends to report the effects of excessive vegetable production in a barangay on farmers’ economic conditions, traditional practices, interactions, and the environment. The respondents were composed of 52% middle-aged farmers, 28% young farmers, and 20% elderly farmers; 76% were male and 24% were female. Economically, vegetable cultivation has increased farmers’ financial capability, provided a source of income for others, made others reliant on the supply system, and caused others to accumulate debt. Traditional farming methods were abandoned. Furthermore, excessive vegetable farming caused soil loosening, pesticide waste disposal issues, biodiversity loss owing to agricultural expansion, conversion of rice fields to vegetable farms that lead to the endangerment of other species, and the emergence of non-beneficial organisms. In addition, the Amuyo system was enhanced, non-involvement in social functions, and farmer conflicts were linked to excessive vegetable production activities. It is recommended that a study concerning the conditions of soils in all the farms in the barangay should be conducted; a study on the elimination of the insect that causes the rotting of vegetable fruits and fruit trees; carrying out training on sustainable agricultural practices and environmental issues; formation of a farmers’ organization and farmers’ cooperatives; establishment of a conservation area for indigenous species; creation of vegetable product development facility; and undertake a similar study with a larger research area and respondents.

Methodology: Following a medical and radiographic identification of ankle fractures of the bimalleolar supination-external rotation type, 20 consecutive patients underwent magnetic resonance tests.
Results: 11 (51%) of those with bimalleolar ankle fractures also had deltoid ligament injuries. Six patients (26.8%) had partial injuries, and three patients (23%) had complete injuries. In the absence of deltoid ligament damage, the average length of the medial fragment was 2.87 cm. On average, partial injuries measured 1.92 cm and complete injuries 2.0 cm.
Conclusion: In 51% of ankle fractures caused by bimalleolar, the deltoid ligament was injured. The anterior colliculus and smaller medial malleolus fragments showed a stronger correlation with incomplete deltoid ligament damage.

Re-considering the Coup d’État of 1370
Authors: Fedorin Andrey L.
Published: December 2022

In Vietnams history virtually every new dynasty existed or emerged as the transition of power through the female line. Tran Thu Do, de-facto the founder of the Tran dynasty, attempted to construct such a system of power succession in the scope of a ruling family (intra-kin marriages, new emperors appointments long before their fathers deaths, widowed empresses being sent to nunneries) which could have excluded such an opportunity. The system peacefully existed longer than a century, and crashed. The analysis of the Complete Annals of Dai Viet and Chinese chronicles shows that the Coup of 1370 was the crucial event in that process. All the chronicles consider it to be supposedly a successful repulse of the attempt to seize power by the Duong House, strange to the Tran dynasty. However, that was the starting point of the final crash of Tran Thu Dos system and the result was the fall of the dynasty.

Unlocking the Power of the European Commission to Order Interim Measures under Regulation 1/2003: An Inquiry into the Nature of the Tool
Authors: Farinhas Carla
Published: December 2022

Is the long-forgotten power of the Commission to order interim measures a satisfactory tool to safeguard the effective enforcement of EU competition law? It is not possible seriously to consider the claim without exploring the essential properties that characterize the power and that must inform its exercise. The decisional practice is scarce, and the related case law consists of a handful of judicial decisions, the latest of which is over 20 years old. What precisely is the role of the Commission’s interim powers within the EU system of competition law enforcement currently in force? The present article attempts to reveal the nature of the tool in the light of multiple elements found relevant for the interpretation and application of Article 8 of Regulation 1/2003. Along the way, misapprehensions with the potential to undermine interim action by the Commission are identified.

Dealing With the Unpredictable: The Impact of the Covid-19 Crisis on Lease Agreements in the Italian and Japanese Legal Systems
Authors: F. Fondrieschi Alba
Published: December 2022

Lease contracts have been among the most affected by the economic effects of the pandemic in many countries around the world. Measures aimed at containing the virus and the economic crisis following Covid-19 impacted the solvency of individuals and businesses and restricted or prevented access to business premises for some time. This has resulted in delays and defaults in rent payment and claims for rent reduction. The Japanese and Italian legal systems have both addressed these issues by adopting different approaches. This article aims at comparing both systems, by testing the adequacy of the legal provisions in dealing with the consequences of the Covid-19 crisis. An important role in this regard has been played by the respective doctrines of changed circumstances. The article shows how the rules of the Italian legal system have not proved adequate, have brought about considerable litigation, which in turn has led to conflicting judgments. On the other hand, the Japanese legal system seems to have responded better, as litigation has been more limited and court decisions have been based on uniform principles and rules. The comparison of the two legal systems suggests that the best rules to govern supervening circumstances are those which favour a case-by case please insert caseby- case assessment and encourage spontaneous renegotiation of the contract. The article also raises the question of whether predictability should always be regarded as a value in our legal systems and whether the law is moving toward a more contextual approach.
The Functions of Law and of Digital Platforms in the Payment System
Authors: Ortino Matteo
Published: December 2022

This article focuses on the industrial role of the State, including the European Union, in the specific field of payments, probably the single most important component of any advanced economic system. Taking the payment system as a case study, the aim is to highlight and explore the conceptual and functional link and analogy between the industrial role of the State, on the one hand, and digital platforms, on the other. Policy makers adopt the most important economic functions exercised by or through digital platforms as industrial measures. The State enables and spurs economic growth and innovation in the payment systems by enacting two industrial measures that represent an application of the platform ‘mechanism’. These measures consist, firstly, in providing a public platform for the private sector and, secondly, in promoting the ‘platformisation’ of the private sector.

Published: December 2022

O objetivo principal desta pesquisa consiste na aplicação da técnica do Mapeamento do Fluxo de Valor (MFV) nos processos de manutenções físicas de uma empresa do ramo bancário. Para tal, foi necessário desenvolver um referencial teórico bem embasado, explorando desde a criação do Sistema Toyota de Produção (STP) até a adaptação desse sistema à indústria de serviços. A aplicação do MFV seguiu a estrutura de passos sugerida por Rother e Shook (2003), sendo sua avaliação realizada através de um estudo de caso descritivo. A análise dos resultados teve como propósito verificar se a utilização da ferramenta, em um processo interno de uma empresa de serviço, possibilita reduzir o lead time e os custos operacionais associados. As considerações finais explicitam a otimização do fluxo de manutenções, caracterizada pelo aumento da média de produtividade, simplificação das atividades e redução dos gastos com mão de obra. De forma geral, a proposta de utilizar o MFV no processo de manutenções de um banco de empréstimo apresentou resultados satisfatórios, comprovando a aplicabilidade da ferramenta em um contexto diferente do de sua criação (indústria de bens).
