Authors: MADRAS-MAJEWSKA BEATA , MAJEWSKI JANUSZ
Published: November 2022

The objective of this study was an attempt to assess the changes taking place in beekeeping in Poland. The presented results indicate a systematic quantitative increase in the number of beekeepers and bee colonies in Poland. The number of beekeepers increased in 2011-2017 from less than 50 thousand up to 68 thousand. On the other hand, the number of bee colonies increased from over 1.24 million to over 1.55 million. Regional changes have been progressing at different rates, however, the increase has taken place in all voivodships. The research showed no dependence between the increase in the number of bee colonies and the surface of entomophilous plants cultivated in voivodships. This proves that the development of beekeeping in Poland does not result from an increase in the needs for pollinating entomophilous crops.

INFLUENCE OF INSTITUTIONAL FACTORS ON THE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF THE COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD
Authors: SHPARYK KHRYSTYNA
Published: November 2022

This research focuses on the problem of uneven economic development of the world economy.  Within the modern scientific paradigm, uneven economic development is studied through the prism of effectiveness of institutional mechanisms of the state as the main tool to create conditions for economic growth. The goal is to show the effect of economic and institutional variables (namely the level of economic freedom, the level of political freedom which takes into account political rights and civil liberties, human capital, labor force and gross fixed capital accumulation) on economic growth which is calculated using econometric models for panel data with fixed effects of countries and fixed temporal effects. The model is built for 119 countries of the world and takes into account observations in 1990, 2000 and 2010. A correlation analysis is made which shows that the correlation coefficients between most of the variables are high which confirms the assumption that economic freedom is a prerequisite for economic development and contributes to the improvement of the quality of life of the people. The paper also presents a generalized translogarithmic model constructed on the basis of the production function with constant elasticity of the substitution (CES function), which is a nonlinear modification of the Cobb-Douglas function. The calculations prove that, in particular, the level of political and economic freedoms that are taken by institutional factors significantly influence the economic efficiency. The relation between efficiency and failed state index is identified, indicating that the controllability of the state’s borders and political stability largely affect economic development because wars and conflicts have the most devastating impacts on the economy.

Estudo comparativo entre Mplus, AMOS e LISREL em um modelo com dados categóricos e amostra reduzida
Authors: Albuquerque Virgilius de
Published: November 2022

Modelos de equações estruturais podem ser resolvidos mediante o emprego de diversos softwares específicos. Os preceitos subjacentes à teoria assintótica – amostras grandes, variáveis contínuas ou numéricas, e indicadores refletidos – constituem a fundamentação estatística e matemática para a identificação dos parâmetros do modelo. Contudo, nem sempre os estudos empíricos podem ser desenvolvidos nesse cenário ideal. Amostras reduzidas e dados categóricos são comumente encontrados em trabalhos quantitativos nas ciências sociais. O aplicativo Mplus tem enorme aplicabilidade em pesquisas quantitativas que flexibilizam os pressupostos da teoria assintótica. A partir de um modelo de equações estruturais que analisa a efetividade de uma política pública, utilizaremos os softwares Mplus, AMOS, e LISREL, que são amplamente utilizados na resolução de modelos estruturais, e funções de discrepância apropriadas, para verificar a convergência dos parâmetros estruturais em uma pesquisa com amostra pequena e dados categóricos. Nessas situações, de acordo com a literatura especializada, o Mplus é o aplicativo mais apropriado. Verificamos que o  processamento dos dados em AMOS com a técnica de bootstrapping apresenta resultados semelhantes ao do Mplus. Portanto, na ausência do Mplus, o uso do AMOS com bootstrapping pode resultar na estimação de parâmetros confiáveis para dados não-numéricos.

Published: November 2022

The objective of this work was to analyze the degree of explanation of the size factor, the economic value added and the profitability as a function of equity on the level of indebtedness of the main companies listed on the Brazilian Stock Exchange. The discussion of the health crisis caused by Covid-19 is incorporated as a determining factor, as well as the theoretical discussion that the stock market indicator can be an important estimator of the behavior of the economy. The methodology used was a dynamic panel based on the methodology developed by Arellano and Bond in 1991, justified by the nature of the data. The results support the hypotheses launched in the study, where the variation in value addition has a positive impact on indebtedness for the pandemic period, and increases in profitability reduce companies' financial risk exposure. The effects of each of the variables are notable according to the analyzed interval, that is, in the pre- and pandemic period. The main contribution of this article is to provide a broad and rigorous empirical approach in order to assess the impact of the studied variables. In addition, this study considers companies with greater volume and liquidity serving as a proxy for the sectors of the Brazilian economy.
Identidade e consumo: um panorama teórico sobre a temática “Projetos de identidade do consumidor”
Authors: Farias Miriam Leite , Farias Salomão Alencar de
Published: November 2022

A Consumer Culture Theory refere-se à um conjunto de perspectivas teóricas que compartilham a mesma orientação sociocultural sobre as relações dinâmicas entre consumidor, mercado e significados culturais. Em 2005, Arnould e Thompson propuseram um framework com quatro domínios temáticos que são inter-relacionados. O objetivo deste artigo foi fornecer uma visão geral dos trabalhos que têm como tema central o domínio “projetos de identidade do consumidor”. Foi percebido que inicialmente a relação pessoa-objeto era muito utilizada, principalmente o conceito do eu-estendido (Belk, 1988), mas que nos anos seguintes ao artigo de 2005, a estrutura discursiva da CCT foi transformada pela infusão de novos vernáculos teóricos. Dessa forma, como orientação futura, sugerimos que os pesquisadores comecem a questionar como os consumidores co-criam juntos os recursos fornecidos pelo mercado, ao invés de serem vistos apenas como receptores dos mesmos.

Os resultados demonstram a efetividade do escopo de artefato sugerido e o possível impacto para as empresas que optam por não adotar métodos de implantação ou que não resguardam suas informações, como no caso da empresa que avaliou o artefato. Por fim, de modo geral, percebeu-se que existe possibilidades promissoras para que sejam testados e melhorados esses artefatos e que estes podem ser alinhados a outras situações.

Published: November 2022

Data centers estão em constante crescimento impulsionando demandas de novas tecnologias tais como computação em nuvem, comércio eletrônico, o que forçou a disponibilização destes sistemas 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana sob pena de grandes prejuízos. Nosso estudo tem como objetivo proporcionar suporte para a análise do impacto de diferentes estratégias de políticas de manutenção, tanto preventiva quanto corretiva, considerando os parâmetros adotados em acordos de níveis de serviços sobre a disponibilidade estacionária de infraestruturas de um sistema de data center utilizando os mecanismos de modelagem RBD e SPN. Foram analisadas as infraestruturas de refrigeração e de potência, considerando uma infraestrutura de comunicação proposta, em arquiteturas com níveis crescentes de redundância. Estas arquiteturas foram propostas baseadas na alocação de adaptações de mecanismos de redundância, que são largamente utilizados em projetos de sistemas, aos componentes das referidas infraestruturas com os maiores índices de importância para disponibilidade. Além disso, um estudo de caso foi elaborado para a análise da disponibilidade estacionária resultante de diversos cenários que consideram diferentes estratégias de manutenção a partir das infraestruturas/arquiteturas estudadas através da aplicação dos modelos propostos.

Este trabalho objetivou analisar o desempenho das entidades privadas sem fins lucrativos na prestação de serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde e fatores que o influencia e compará-las com provedores públicos de serviços de saúde. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão sistemática nas bases de dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Web of Science, em maio de 2020, tendo como termos de busca eficiência, atenção primária à saúde e seus respectivos descritores. Em adição, foi realizada uma pesquisa manual das referências citadas nos estudos incluídos na revisão e outros trabalhos sobre o tema. Restaram para a análise 26 artigos, no tocante a acesso, equidade, qualidade, resultados, eficiência e infraestrutura. Os resultados mostraram-se mais eficazes, com exceção da eficiência que não apresentou superioridade, nas entidades privadas sem fins lucrativos, mas, visto que há um número limitado de estudos e a falta de evidências suficientes para comparação, não é possível afirmar a superioridade de desempenho de fornecedores privados sem fins lucrativos sobre os públicos. Observou-se a necessidade, apontada pelos autores, de estudos adicionais na busca por maiores evidências sobre os efeitos no desempenho dos serviços de APS prestados, para que se possa identificar aspectos positivos e negativos e a busca de melhorias.
A SIMULATION-BASED WATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR LIFE-OF-MINE WATER PLANNING
Authors: Monteiro CA , van Laar Jean
Published: November 2022

Adequate water distribution in mines is crucial for both cooling and production. As deep-level mines become deeper, the water requirements, and the subsequent dewatering requirements, also increase. Numerous studies on mine dewatering planning exist; however, these studies fail to recognise the integrated nature of the water system, which comprises the service water supply and the dewatering system. These studies also commonly neglect service water distribution and intensity, life-of-mine water planning, and the use of zero-waste baselines. In this study, a generic simulation-based water management strategy is proposed. The strategy should 1) include both service and dewatering water systems, 2) account for dynamic production plans, and 3) allow for life-of-mine modelling. Data from underground audits were used to develop a baseline model along with the mine plans and survey data. Applying the management strategy to a case study mine resulted in predictions that were accurate to within 5% for future plans.

SUSTAINABILITY ASSESSMENT OF THERMAL AND MECHANICAL RECLAMATION OF FOUNDRY CHROMITE SAND
Authors: Nyembwe Didier , Kabasele Jonathan
Published: November 2022

After usage, foundry chromite sand is recycled to reduce production costs and comply with environmental regulations. Thermal and mechanical reclamation are the most prominent methods of sand recycling. The sand reclamation techniques used in the foundry sector are typically not evaluated through the green alternative or environmental sustainability concept’s lenses. When contrasting mechanical and thermal reclamation, operational costs are the main factor to be taken into account. Therefore, this study compares mechanical and thermal reclamation of chromite sand by replicating the industrial processes in simulated laboratory tests. The methodology is designed to quantify the production of fine particles during reclamation, which has an array of negative effects on the environment, human health, the economy, and society. The findings show that, in general, mechanical reclamation produced more fine particles than thermal reclamation. The disparity in terms of fine percentage between the two processes could occasionally be as high as 15%. Therefore, mechanical reclamation was a less effective procedure than thermal reclamation when considering environmental sustainability, especially the impact on human health, which goes against conventional wisdom in the foundry sector.

Published: November 2022

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are faced with the challenge of implementing Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies to keep up with larger industry players, and to pave the way for sustainable business development and digital transformation. Data science (DS) specifically has the potential to provide SMEs with the ability to elevate their decision-making processes by making informed data-driven decisions. A vast amount of literature relates to the field of DS and its implementation; however, the literature related to the implementation of DS in the context of SMEs is limited. Consequently, this article presents a structured literature review with regard to the implementation of DS to support sustainable business operations in SMEs, and particularly focusing on SMEs in developing countries.

USING ZERO-WASTE BASELINES TO IDENTIFY COMPRESSED AIR SYSTEM INEFFICIENCIES IN DEEP-LEVEL MINES
Authors: van der Merwe Arno , Gous Andries , Schutte Corne
Published: November 2022

Inefficient compressed air systems in deep-level mines deteriorate energy performance and increase operational costs. Leaks, wastages, and misuse are common inefficiencies that necessitate an oversupply of compressed air. It is therefore important to identify where the opportunities for improvement are located. Underground mining equipment can be used to develop a zero-waste compressed air demand profile. This profile can then be simulated for the entire operation to determine a theoretical baseline. Noticeable inefficiencies are then identified by comparing the actual data with the zero-waste baselines. The results of this study showed that the surface operations oversupply compressed air by 15% (10 kg/s of air) per day. This requires an additional 80 MWh of electricity (14.5% of the total) and costs approximately R91 000 per day. The comparison with the zero-waste baselines showed that 7.9 kg/s of air is wasted at the underground levels during drilling periods, highlighting the areas that require mitigation projects to improve the performance while decreasing costs and wastages.
