Authors: Ibouanga Kone , Mve Symphorien Engone , Mikala Hermine Balouki
Published: January 2024

Several studies have been carried out on the determinants of international trade. However, little is known about the relationship between infrastructure development and international trade in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries  in general and in Kenya in particular. This article examines the effect of infrastructure development on international trade. Thus, it concerns the analysis of Kenya’s economy during the period 1980-2021.The Autoregressive and Distributed Lags (ARDL) method is employed as estimation technique and different types of infrastructures such as rail lines, paved roads and access to electricity have been highlighted. Moreover, two indicators of international trade named  external trade rate and Squalli and Wilson index were employed. The results revealed that access to electricity, paved roads as well as rail lines improve Kenya's external trade rate in the long run. However, no significant relationship was found in the short run. Moreover, the robostness of the results was confirmed with the Squalli and Wilson index. Therefore, Kenya’s goverment must pursue its national infrastructure development program with the support of other development partners by emphasizing the intensification of electricity, the construction of roads and railway lines. To achieve its infrastructure goals Kenya needs to develop the second phase of the Country Strategy Document.

Authors: Viana Filipe Casati , Nogueira Graziela Sousa
Published: January 2024

Uma internação em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) pode impactar a saúde mental dos pacientes, sendo alterações psicológicas comuns neste contexto, incluindo elevados índices de ansiedade, o que remete a relevância de estratégias de intervenção. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da distração cognitiva sobre a ansiedade de pacientes internados em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI). O delineamento da pesquisa foi quase-experimental, sendo um ensaio clínico não randomizado. Participaram 21 pacientes conscientes internados em uma UTI pública do Distrito Federal-DF. Os instrumentos utilizados na investigação incluíram: 1) entrevista inicial, abordando o diagnóstico atual, antecedentes clínicos pessoais e avaliação do estado mental do paciente; 2) questionário complementar pré-intervenção, por meio do qual foi realizada avaliação da ansiedade e; 3) questionário complementar pós-intervenção. Com relação aos resultados foi observado moderado nível de ansiedade dos pacientes antes da realização de qualquer intervenção (Md = 8, em uma escala de 0-10, onde 0 = sem ansiedade e 10 = intensa ansiedade). Após a aplicação da distração cognitiva, houve redução estatisticamente significativa importante dos escores de ansiedade (Md = 5), conforme o teste dos postos de sinais de Wilcoxon (z = -3,72, p< 0,001), sugerindo a efetividade da proposta de intervenção empregada. Assim, destaca-se a importância de estratégias não farmacológicas, tais como a distração cognitiva, como um recurso a ser utilizado no contexto de UTIs para promoção da humanização e saúde mental dos pacientes.

São considerados anomalias congênitas (AC) todas as alterações estruturais ou funcionais originadas ainda na vida intrauterina, e podem afetar diversas estruturas do corpo. Apresentam etiologia multifatorial, podendo ter causas genéticas, ambientais, nutricionais e infecciosas. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo e exploratório de dados do estado do Amazonas provenientes do Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) desenvolvido pelo Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS). Foram analisadas as seguintes variáveis: quantitativo e tipos de ACs, município de procedência, características do recém-nascido, características maternas e obstétricas. As informações coletadas foram do período de 2011 a 2021. Nesse intervalo foram registrados no estado do Amazonas 852.427 nascidos vivos, destes, 4638 (0,5%) foram diagnosticados com algum tipo de AC. Quanto ao ano de maior prevalência de AC tem-se 2011 com 564 casos (12,2%), malformações ou deformidades congênitas do aparelho osteomuscular foi o tipo mais prevalente, responsável por 39,95% das anomalias congênitas. O município com maior número de casos foi Manaus (2855), seguido de Parintins (148). Quanto as características dos recém-nascidos, houve predominância do sexo masculino (56%), o peso ao nascimento foi o considerado normal (67,9%), em relação a cor/raça, a parda (82,7%) predominou, quanto ao índice de Apgar, percebeu-se que 65% e 79,8% dos neonatos apresentaram valores entre 08 e 10 no primeiro e quinto minutos de vida. Quanto ao perfil materno e obstétrico, teve-se uma predominância com mães com faixa etária de 20 a 24 anos (60,6%), a escolaridade materna de 08 a 11 anos (58,4%), quanto ao estado civil 59,2% tratavam de mulheres solteiras, e as consultas de pré-natal a maioria fez de sete a mais consultas (40,5%). Em 67,5% dos casos a gestação durou de 37 a 41 semanas, sobre o tipo de parto 51,9% foram por via cesárea. O presente estudo analisou os casos de anomalias congênitas no estado do Amazonas, trazendo em discussão fatores importantes que podem estar direto ou indiretamente envolvidos no desenvolvimento dessa condição. Ademais, a importância dos profissionais de saúde em acompanhar as condições de vida e saúde da gestante, considerando com atenção os fatores de risco e as causas preveníveis das anomalias congênitas.

A presente teve como objetivo analisar os impactos do assédio moral no trabalho sobre a saúde mental de profissionais da educação. Para atingir tal propósito, conduziu-se uma revisão sistemática nas bases de dados Scielo e Google Acadêmico, aderindo às diretrizes preconizadas pelo PRISMA. Os critérios de inclusão englobaram artigos de nacionalidade brasileira, restritos ao período compreendido entre os anos de 2020 e 2023. No decorrer da fase de levantamento, foram empregadas palavras-chave e operadores booleanos "AND" e "OR" para otimizar a seleção dos estudos. Após o processo de análise dos artigos, obteve-se uma amostra de 7 artigos científicos, onde foi possível constatar que os impactos do assédio moral sobre a saúde mental dos profissionais da educação incluem transtornos como ansiedade, depressão, medo, insegurança e estresse. Tais achados ressaltam a gravidade do problema, cujos efeitos predominam na esfera psíquica, ultrapassando meros aborrecimentos e influenciando negativamente a produtividade acadêmica e as relações interpessoais. A dimensão de gênero se revela como um aspecto crucial, evidenciando a imposição de sobrecarga de trabalho sobre as profissionais do sexo feminino. Esta disparidade, além de prejudicar individualmente as profissionais, contribui para a perpetuação de um ambiente desigual no meio acadêmico. A influência adversa do assédio moral nas relações interpessoais, dinâmicas organizacionais e na qualidade dos serviços prestados à sociedade destaca que o problema transcende o indivíduo afetado, afetando a saúde coletiva. Portanto, a implementação de ações preventivas no meio acadêmico é imperativa, reconhecendo o assédio moral como um desafio que demanda uma abordagem coletiva.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um as dificuldades orçamentárias para obras pontuais de setorização. Dessa forma, foi realizado o acompanhamento de obras de setorização em um município do interior do estado de São Paulo, onde a previsão foi implantar 5 setores de distribuição de água através da execução de 11 intervenções hidráulicas. Em todas as etapas da obra foram realizados o preenchimento do diário de obra, considerando fatos ocorridos, maquinários, equipamentos e mão de obra para a execução das obras hidráulicas previstas. No caso em estudo ocorreu a execução de apenas 9% da proposta prevista e o pagamento de 69% dos serviços, o que não representa a realização de 69% da setorização já que parte dos serviços remunerados não foram executados com êxito, esses são alguns dos problemas observados. Além disso, o acompanhamento em campo mostrou que o tempo médio para realizar uma intervenção visando a separação física dos setores, foi de 4 horas. Desse modo, a presente dissertação propõe um modelo de planilha orçamentaria condizente com a realidade do campo, baseando-se em produtividades práticas aplicadas para maquinários, equipamentos e mão de obra. Esse modelo orçamentário mostrou um aumento financeiro em termos percentuais de 52,80% superior ao orçamento da obra estudada. Esse aumento aponta que parte dos itens da obra em questão estavam sendo executados de maneira inadequada do ponto de vista financeiro. Além disso, esse trabalho tem como potencial o embasamento de outros estudos relacionados à execução orçamentária de obras de setorização.

Published: January 2024

Objective: This study aim to explores the interesting relationship between the financial literacy of board members, earnings management (EM), and corporate environmental disclosure (CED) in Malaysian listed manufacturing companies.
 
Theoretical framework: We mainly address the implications of this relationship for business stakeholders and for promoting a healthy economic simulation.
 
Research Methods: Robust sample of 258 Malaysian manufacturing listed companies from 2016 to 2021, providing 1290 firm-year observations. A noticeable negative significance is seen when the board's financial literacy variable interacts with the link between CED and EM.
 
Result: This study discovered a significantly positive link between CED and EM. This result implies that CED reduces EM practises when board members are financially literate.
 
Conclusion: These findings highlight how important it is for qualified board members to define the association between CED and earnings manipulation (EM). They stress the value of having a well-qualified board to lessen earnings manipulation and the necessity of managers responding to CED initiatives. This is pivotal for stakeholders who aspire to make well-informed decisions, build trust, and foster sustainable practices within the business ecosystem, ultimately contributing to a more resilient and prosperous economic landscape.

Published: January 2024

Objective: The purpose of this study is to understand community participation in the preservation activities of historical heritage. This research was conducted on the community of Garut district in West Java, Indonesia, focusing on the handling of local cultural products from the past that have become tourist attractions.
 
Theoretical Framework: In this research, the theory of participation from Sherry R Arnstein is used, which divides into eight sub-levels and three main levels: low or non-participation level, moderate or tokenism level, and high participation or citizen power level.
 
Research Method: The method used in this study is a case study that examines cultural heritage in the form of objects, locations, manuscripts, and texts with historical significance. Our investigation includes the Holy Tomb of Godog, Holy Tomb of Sunan Cipancar, Sacred Tomb of Raden Papak, and Prehistoric Site of Pasir Lulumpang.
 
Research Findings: Community involvement in the preservation of ancient manuscripts is only carried out by the owners of the manuscripts. The general public is unable to participate due to difficult access, as the manuscript owners are not open to the wider community. Additionally, there is a role for families in preserving ancestral heritage, which includes annual routine activities and forming associations with descendants of the family tomb.
 
Conclusion: Community participation in the preservation activities of historical heritage seems to be low. This is evident from the many historical heritages still kept within the community and not yet reported to the government or other relevant parties for the preservation of these historical values.

Published: January 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of destination quality and image on the loyalty of tourists.
 
Method: There were many research papers that were analyzed critically to find out the connection between quality, image, and the loyalty of tourists. We utilize a quantitative research method through structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis. The sample size includes 583 respondents who are tourists in the provinces of the North Central Coast of Vietnam.
 
Results: The research findings show that, in direct relationships, destination image positively influences both attitudinal loyalty and behavioral loyalty. However, there is no direct impact of destination quality on attitudinal loyalty; instead, it only affects tourist behavioral loyalty. The study also demonstrates the mediating role of satisfaction in the relationship between destination quality, image, and both aspects of loyalty, namely the attitudinal and behavioral loyalty of tourists.
 
Conclusions:  The tourist industry on the North Central Coast of Vietnam has many positive points, despite just going through the COVID-19 pandemic and economic growth. Tourist loyalty to destinations is quite high because they like destination image and satisfaction with destination quality. This article is an academic contribution that enables understanding of the research developed and focuses on destination image, destination quality, and tourist loyalty on the North Central Coast of Vietnam, considering data from several reference research databases and survey results.

Published: January 2024

This paper presents the estimate results of the average annual abundance of black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix L., 1758), made on the material of data bank (ISEA SB RAS) for groups of physico-geographical countries within the borders of the USSR 1990. On the East European and West Siberian plains, value of grouse abundance and total number were calculated on average separately for the first and second half of summer and in winter, mainly from 1960 to 2020, for physicogeographical countries – only for the first half of summer. The under-accounting of birds was revealed in the second half of summer on the both plains territory, which was made up with the help of additional calculations. As a result, value of the abundance and total number of birds were obtained for natural zones and subzones within Russia and the USSR, separately on the East European and West Siberian plains. A significant similarity of the grouse stock estimation results by weighted averages, separately by landscape groups, and by a simple average for the entire territory of a physico-geographical country or several of them in the first half of summer is shown. The second method of stock assessment compared with the first one gave results that differ for those plains within confidence intervals at a confidence level of 0.1. On the groups of physico-geographical countries territories in the first half of summer, the highest average annual values of the abundance and number of black grouse are appropriate of the European territory and the Urals as a whole, as well as in Western Siberia. The lowest values are typical for Central Asia and Kazakhstan.

Published: January 2024

This paper is devoted to the issue of community self-defence and its role in the process of building personal and structural security in the Visegrad Countries. self-organisation within a local community constitutes an integral part of the national security system. The organisation and functioning of the common self-defence (as it is defined nowadays) consists in the exploitation of civic activity directed at remedial and relief measures in the circumstances of both military and non-military threats. The level of self-organisation within a society has a profound impact on the security of territorial communities. It also significantly affects the effectiveness of governmental security organisations (e.g. Police, Armed Forces, Civil Defence, etc.) by cooperating with and supporting them. Self-defence is the natural and oldest form of security organisation of social groups. As a result of the measures undertaken in the search for new and complementary solutions in the field of structural and personal security, it bears noting that social potential has certain resources that can be activated. When faced with contemporary threats, one must aspire to make use of all the resources that can contribute to increasing not only the sense of security within a society but also to building public and state resilience to emerging challenges in practical and actual terms.

A contaminação microbiológica de cosméticos pode trazer riscos à saúde do consumidor, podendo estar relacionada com o manuseio incorreto, não realização de Boas Práticas de Fabricação (BPF) e higiene, compartilhamento de produtos e proliferação de microrganismos advindo de partículas suspensas no ar. Os produtos cosméticos permitem o crescimento microbiano, devido à presença de quantidades variáveis de nutrientes, que pode causar deterioração dos produtos e atuar como fonte potencial de infecções. Tendo em vista o grande uso de cosméticos na categoria de maquiagens, fazem-se necessários estudos sobre a avaliação microbiológica destes produtos, levando em conta o uso individual e compartilhado (testers, salões de beleza, etc). O objetivo desta revisão é descrever os principais microrganismos envolvidos na contaminação de maquiagem de uso coletivo, uso individual e sem uso, e correlacionar com eventos adversos causados aos usuários. Para coleta de dados foram analisados diferentes artigos científicos de pesquisa relacionada a controle de qualidade microbiológico de maquiagens. Foram encontrados diversos microrganismos, bactérias Gram-positivas, bactérias Gram-negativas e fungos, sendo que a maioria estava acima dos limites permitidos pela Anvisa. Dentre as bactérias, o gênero mais predominante foi Staphylococcus spp. devido este estar presente na microbiota normal da pele. Outros microrganismos de importância clínica também foram relatados e ultrapassaram os limites permitidos pela Anvisa. Em indivíduos imunocomprometidos, o risco de infecção por contaminação microbiana desses cosméticos é maior do que em indivíduos imunocompetentes. Sendo assim, este estudo de revisão bibliográfica conclui que é importante garantir o controle de qualidade microbiológico dos cosméticos, seguindo as recomendações das BPF e higiene. O uso inadequado e compartilhamento de maquiagens trazem riscos à saúde do consumidor.

Thus, with negative interference in daily life and worsening of quality of life, there may be difficulty in adhering to treatment, worsening the prognosis and survival of the patient. Objective: To analyze common mental disorders in cancer patients using the HADS scale. Methodology: The study consists of an integrative review of the scientific literature. The guiding question of the research determined by the PICO method was "What are the findings of the assessment of anxiety and depression by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) in patients undergoing cancer treatment?". Articles were searched in the following databases: LILACS, SciELO, PUBMED, Science Direct and CAPES Journals. The Health Sciences Descriptors used were: depression, anxiety, psycho-oncology, oncology and neoplasia. The included studies were full texts in English, Portuguese or Spanish, published between 2012 and October 2022. The use of the Hospital Scale for Anxiety and Depression (HADS) was used as a selection criterion. The data surveys were carried out in October and November 2022. The keywords were combined and the data found were read at the title level and, consequently, abstract. The articles selected by two independent evaluators were read in full and evaluated. In the end, the corpus consisted of 22 articles. Results and Discussion: The results of the review were subdivided into: symptoms of anxiety and depression, patients' perception of care, and the sociodemographic profile of cancer patients with psychiatric disorders. There is a higher prevalence of anxiety and depression in female cancer patients when compared to the general population. Anxiety symptoms were more prevalent in the immediate aftermath of diagnosis, and lower levels of anxiety were found throughout the course of the course and treatment. In addition, the need for a multidisciplinary approach and early application of Palliative Care is emphasized, in order to alleviate the suffering of those involved, corroborating the improvement of mental health. Conclusion: Psychiatric anxiety and depression disorders in patients undergoing cancer treatment are relevant pathologies to be researched due to their impact on cancer treatment adherence. Thus, the importance of a comprehensive approach to the patient, whether in the physical or emotional aspects through multidisciplinary follow-up, is noted, enabling greater well-being for the patient, resulting in the best treatment according to the need. Thus, we emphasize the need for further research on the subject, in order to update the findings according to the presence of new articles.
Towards sustainable industrial development - A systems thinking-based approach
Authors: Luis-Pineda Octavio
Published: January 2024

Various critical global issues, including global warming and poverty, have been recognized and identified by the United Nations (UN) as drivers for unsustainability. Consequently, the UN established the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the aim of seeking universal peace and larger freedom by balancing the three dimensions of sustainable development, i.e. economic, social and environmental. A particular attention SDGs pay is in eradicating poverty as this is considered one of the greatest global challenges. Poverty is not only an economic matter as it also has an impact on the social and environmental dimensions. A strategy to tackle poverty is to foster industry development. However, a holistic point of view is necessary by also considering stakeholders otherwise, it becomes a neoliberal solution. Despite the fact that some research has been conducted, e.g. case studies and surveys of sustainable practices, there is a lack of industrial sustainable development as a framework to tackle sustainability issues. Thus, this paper proposes a framework for industrial sustainable development under a socially inclusive approach within the context of the Mexican manufacturing industry. The framework proposal is based on state-of-the-art literature review conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases.
The place of chemistry in the new high school: Promoting environmental education through awareness about the use and disposal of plastic
Authors: Silva Ana Paula da , Machado Sônia Salgueiro
Published: January 2024

In view of the great problem surrounding the unconscious use and disposal of plastics and the observation within the school environment and its surroundings, the need for a study aimed at raising awareness about the use and disposal of plastics was perceived. After questioning the students about the problem of plastics, it was noted the importance of inserting this theme in the high school chemistry classes of the Adalberto Marroquim State School. This fact motivated the approach to the theme "Polymers" and, from there, the development of a didactic sequence with classes aimed at greater knowledge on the subject. The teacher's mediation is essential to assist critical development and awareness, also drawing attention to the theme of sustainability, so that the student understands the world around him and what his role is in this context with a view to mitigating environmental impacts. The main objective of this didactic sequence is for students to know how to recognize the different types of polymers, focusing on the sustainable consumption of plastic materials, so that they can actively act in the place where they are inserted, contributing to society. This problem is highlighted in Chemistry classes, seeking a place in the new scenario of education in Brazil, with a view to the implementation of the New High School, bringing the Formative Itineraries, and within these, a prominent outfit for Chemistry. At first, questionnaires with multiple-choice questions were distributed to assess the class's knowledge about plastic and its risk to the sustainability of the planet. The students' answers indicate the need for an educational product that consists of a booklet that can contribute significantly to the chemistry classes of any teacher who wants to address this theme, drawing attention both to the knowledge of "Polymers" and to the conscious use and disposal of these materials, contributing to sustainable development and effective awareness.

The general objective of this article was to present Education as a fundamental right, considering the freedom of professorship as an instrument for the effectiveness of this right. Education that leads the individual to the exercise of citizenship and to the development of the human person invokes freedom in teaching and learning. Highlighting legal education in Brazil, this article also presents the various reforms that have impacted to some extent the content and form of education in the country. The theoretical foundation was divided into 3 sections: i) education as a fundamental right in the Brazilian legal system; ii) legal education in Brazil, reforms and curricular guidelines; iii) university autonomy and freedom of professorship. The research problem consisted in identifying whether the freedom of professorship can be conceived as an instrument of the fundamental right to education. Using a hermeneutic method, the hypothesis initially raised is verified, which gives a positive answer to the problem.
Exploring the connections between Microbiome and Dementia: systematic review
Authors: Teixeira Leite Antonio Matheus , González-Argote Javier
Published: January 2024

Introduction: disturbance in the balance of the intestinal microbiota, as an ecosystem, determines states of dysbiosis and dysregulation of the immune system, which are crucial for the onset of gastrointestinal and systemic diseases. Dementia is defined as an acquired syndrome, characterized by cognitive impairment and changes in mood or personality, which are severe enough to hinder social and occupational performance. Objectives: to describe the scientific evidence on the relationship between the gut microbiome and the onset/progression of dementia, and how it influences the underlying pathological mechanisms of different types of dementia. Methods: a search was conducted in Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science from January 2000 to October 2022. Selecting abstracts of cohort and case-control studies evaluating the relationship between the gut microbiome and the onset/progression of dementia. Results: the results of this review suggest that there is a significant interaction between gut microbiota and mental health, supporting the idea that the gut and brain are bidirectionally connected through the gut-brain axis. However, it is important to note that many of these studies have limitations, such as small sample sizes and varied research designs, making it difficult to draw definitive conclusions. Therefore, more research is needed to fully understand the underlying mechanisms and clinical relevance of these relationships. Conclusions: this systematic review provides a comprehensive overview of the interaction between gut microbiota and mental health in diverse populations. The results suggest that gut microbiota may play an important role in mental health, but further studies are needed to confirm and better understand these relationships. These results have significant implications for research and the development of interventions targeting the gut microbiota as a potential approach to improve mental health in various conditions.
