VULNERABILIDADES SOCIOECONÔMICAS DO ESTADO DO AMAZONAS AGRAVADAS PELA 2ª ONDA DA PANDEMIA DE COVID-19
Authors: Silva Michele Lins Aracaty e , Mauricio Barbosa Lucas Mauro , Marcelo dos Reis Braule Pinto Leonardo
Published: February 2022

O Estado do Amazonas apresenta os mais elevados indicadores de vulnerabilidade socioeconômica, incluindo a pobreza, fome, vulnerabilidade, desigualdade social, baixa taxa de prosperidade social, renda per capita insuficiente, insegurança alimentar, informalidade e dependência de programas de transferência de renda, situação agravada com a chegada do COVID-19 visto a fragilidade do sistema de saúde. Tal realidade, pode explicar a necessidade da população mais vulnerável em romper as barreiras do isolamento social e permanecer nas ruas elevando a taxa de contaminação. Assim, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as vulnerabilidades socioeconômicas do Estado do Amazonas de forma a justificar a baixa adesão ao isolamento social e de permanência em casa. Para tanto, baseia-se em pesquisa bibliográfica e documental com o uso de dados secundários do IBGE, ONU e IPEA, analisando os indicadores do IVS, IDHM, pobreza, extrema pobreza, fome, renda per capita, Índice de Gini e Taxa de Prosperidade Social. Os resultados mostraram avanço no IVS e no IDHM ao longo dos anos, elevado percentual de Pobreza, Pobreza Extrema e Desigualdade Social, elevado percentual de Insegurança Alimentar, Renda Per Capita e Taxa de Prosperidade Social baixas, elevado percentual de informalidade (58,35%) e de dependência de programa de transferência de renda (25%). Os números da saúde agravados pelo COVID-19, apontam a insuficiência de leitos, respiradores e de profissionais de saúde, elevada taxa de reprodução da doença, elevado grau de mortalidade e de coeficiente de incidência, baixo índice de isolamento social, elevado número de mortes diárias, colapso no sistema funerário e em relação à 2ª onda a crise por escassez de oxigênio de uso medicinal.
Infraestrutura, fazendas horizontais e pena sustentável: alternativas para aplicação do regime semiaberto
Authors: Pagliarini Alexandre Coutinho , Santos Flávio Adriano Rebelo Brandão , Garcia Arthur Augusto
Published: February 2022

Este artigo científico aborda a infraestrutura dos espaços prisionais e objetiva demonstrar novas formas de cumprimento de pena no regime semiaberto, por meio da adoção de medidas sustentáveis. Com a idealização das fazendas verticais nos perímetros penitenciários, é possível propiciar a execução da pena em um ambiente mais humanizado de efetivo trabalho, e isso estará em sintonia com a sustentabilidade ambiental, permitindo-se conciliar a execução da pena com o desenvolvimento humano sustentável, sem que isso vá de encontro com a Lei de Execuções Penais. Entende-se que uma política pública que proporcione essa nova forma de cumprimento de pena, substituindo as obsoletas colônias penais pelas fazendas verticais, permitirá ao detento o cultivo de verduras, legumes e outras atividades agrícolas, ao passo que os produtos finais desse cultivo serão revertidos para alimentação dos demais encarcerados, ou, ainda, adquiridos por atores sociais devidamente cadastrados, que poderão comprar a produção por um preço mais convidativo; inserindo-os, assim, no seu negócio, demonstrando que aquele seguimento social tem compromisso social, melhorando sua imagem com os consumidores em geral, em especial aqueles que exigem do empresariado uma retribuição social pelos dividendos obtidos. Ademais, com a utilização dessa técnica, o detento terá acesso ao alimento sem adição de produtos que possam comprometer sua saúde. De acordo com o art. 1º, III, combinado com o art. 170 da CF, o cumprimento da pena passa a respeitar piamente a dignidade da pessoa humana, com a valorização inata do ser humano, inobstante denota a função precípua do Estado, no que concerne à ordem econômica de estabelecer um desenvolvimento da economia enfatizando e valorizando o trabalho humano, assegurando uma coexistência digna entre a justiça social, proteção ambiental e economia.
Poder Judiciário e Administração Pública: interferência indevida na capacidade de tomada de decisão e execução de políticas públicas de combate a COVID-19
Authors: Almeida Edvaldo Nilo de
Published: February 2022

Este estudo tem por objeto demonstrar a ilegitimidade jurídica da interferência do Poder Judiciário na capacidade de tomada de decisão e execução de políticas públicas de combate à Covid-19 pela Administração Pública. A metodologia consiste na análise da doutrina jurídica e jurisprudencial relacionadas ao tema, utilizando-se os métodos bibliográfico e documental, com ênfase nas fontes de estudo do Direito Constitucional e Teoria Geral do Direito. Nessa senda, o problema a ser respondido é se o atual processo de aplicação do Direito pelo Poder Judiciário em relação às políticas públicas da Administração Pública de combate à Covid-19 pode ser considerado conflitante com o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Conclui-se, assim, que os danos causados pela troca de papéis constitucionais causam a paralisia do Estado e ferem, normativamente, os princípios constitucionais, quais sejam: o princípio republicano, do Estado Democrático de Direito, e da separação de poderes.

The Shared Information System: a Relevant Solution for Knowledge Sharing and Decision Making Process
Authors: Aboiron Ethan , Aboiron Jeremie
Published: February 2022

It seems obvious to us that the knowledge management approach is a factor in innovation and the creation of sustainable competitive advantages. In a context of uncertainty, companies strengthen their core skills and competencies in order to enable the organization to implement underlying experiments and bring out innovations. Building a learning organization also means having a culture of challenge and exchange. This means being able to question established systems, renew experiences and constantly improve the knowledge acquired. Building a learning organization also means fighting against the obstacles to this collective learning, such as: power struggles, personal experience as a given, competition between individuals or groups of individuals, the influence of stakeholders and access to information. The future of knowledge management and information systems lies in particular in the possibilities offered by technology. We are thinking in particular of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence.
Implications of “The Growth of Finance” on Financial Regulation
Authors: Adler Manuel Rolf
Published: February 2022

This essay aims at connecting the findings of Greenwood and Scharfstein, authors of “The Growth of Finance”, and my research topic "quantification of regulatory risk and impact of new regulation on business models”. The exercise focuses on how developments in the financial subsectors credit intermediation and asset management, for which a sound regulatory framework is needed, can be connected to prudential regulation. Prudential regulation, i.e. capital and liquidity regulation, primarily mitigates the weaknesses of the financial sector, which are pointed out by Greenwood and Scharfstein. Understanding the implications of prudential regulation, including societally beneficial as well as negative aspects, is the key aspect of the proposed dissertation topic. The outcome of this exercise with regards to the research agenda is that aspects such as financial macroeconomics , welfare considerations, and consumer protection issues might be worth adding.

Adaptive Fuzzy Actuator Failure Compensation Control for a Class of MIMO Nonlinear Systems
Authors: Boulouma Sabri , Labiod Salim , Boubertakh Hamid
Published: February 2022

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme is developed for a class of uncertain multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with uncertain actuator failures. Within this scheme, a fixed grouping of redundant actuators and a proportional actuation scheme for each group are considered. Afterward, a fuzzy system is used for the online approximation of a nominal control vector. The parameter adaptation laws for the nominal controller are driven by the prediction error, which is defined as the difference between the unknown nominal controller and the fuzzy controller. The proposed controller can compensate for both total and partial loss of effectiveness failure types. Closed-loop system stability and convergence properties of the tracking errors are proved based on Lyapunov theory. A piecewise analysis is carried out to prove that these properties hold despite the presence of parameter jumps caused by abrupt failures. A simulation study is carried out on a redundant joint two-link robot manipulator with joint failures at each link. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Published: February 2022

Free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the cause of diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular and inflammatory. The presence of an increase in the number of free radicals and excess ROS production in the body can cause an imbalance of the immune system. Therefore, additional antioxidants are needed from outside the body. During this time there are several antioxidant synthesis drugs such as (Butyl Hydroxy Anisole) BHA and (Butyl Hydroxyl Toluene) BHT. But in its use, this drug causes side effects. Therefore, it is necessary to source antioxidants that have no side effects if consumed. PRP is a product produced from fresh whole blood that contains components of Red blood cells, White blood cells, Platelets, and Plasma. Plasma contains organic and inorganic molecules and ions wherein abundant conditions serve to transport other substances. To determine the ability of PRP as an antioxidant, fractionation, and bioactivity tests for free radical capture of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrilhydrazil (DPPH) and color decay tests at 2,2'-azino-bis-[3-ethylbenzotiazolin sulfonate] (ABTS) in vivo.. Based on the results of this study, PRP has antioxidant activity that increases along with the decrease in THE concentration of PRP with an antioxidant activity value of 10.57% with the DPPH test and 5.85% with the ABTS test at the lowest concentration (6.25 μg / mL). IC50 averages 190.29 μg/mL with DPPH test and 126.60 μg/mL with the ABTS test. The results of this study are an indication that PRP can be used as a treatment therapy related to the anti-oxidant activity
Kinetics of OH + SO2 + M: Temperature-dependent rate coefficients in the fall-off regime and the influence of water vapour
Authors: Sun Wenyu , Berasategui Matias , Pozzer Andrea , Lelieveld Jos , Crowley John
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The OH-initiated oxidation of SO2 is the dominant, first step in the transformation of this atmospherically important trace-gas to particulate sulphate and accurate rate coefficients for the title reaction under all atmospheric conditions (pressures, temperatures and humidity) are required to assess its role in e.g. new particle formation. Prior to this study, no temperature dependent data were available in the fall-off regime for atmospherically relevant bath-gases. We thus address an important omission in the kinetic database for this reaction and highlight significant discrepancies in recommended parameterizations. In this work, generation of OH via pulsed laser photolysis at 248 and 351 nm was coupled to its detection by laser induced fluorescence to obtain rate coefficients (k1) for the title reaction at pressures of 14−742 Torr and temperatures of 220−333 K in N2 bath gas. In-situ SO2 concentrations, central to accurate kinetic measurements under pseudo-first-order conditions, were measured by optical absorption. Under the conditions of the present study, the termolecular reaction between OH and SO2 is in the fall-off regime and we parameterized the rate coefficients in N2 in terms of low- (k1,0) and high-pressure (k1,∞) limiting rate coefficients and a broadening factor (FC) to obtain = 3.03 × 10−31 (T/300)−4.10 cm6 molecule−2 s−1, k1,∞ = 2.00 × 10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, and FC = 0.58. The effects of water vapour on the title reaction were explored through measurements in N2-H2O mixtures at 273, 298 and 333 K using the same experimental methods. The rate coefficients are significantly enhanced by the presence of water vapour with = 1.65 × 10−30 cm6 molecule−2 s−1, which indicates that H2O is a factor >5 more efficient in quenching the HOSO2* association complex than N2. A model-based comparison of our rate coefficients and parameterization with previous literature measurements and recommendations of evaluation panels are presented and discussed. The use of the new parameterization instead of the IUPAC or NASA evaluations, particularly after including H2O as a third-body quencher, leads to a significant (10–30 %) reduction in the lifetime of SO2 in some parts of the atmosphere and increases the H2SO4 / SO2 ratio concomitantly.
Reversible and irreversible gas-particle partitioning of dicarbonyl compounds observed in the real atmosphere
Authors: Hu Jingcheng , Chen Zhongming , Qin Xuan , Dong Ping
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Glyoxal and methylglyoxal are vital carbonyl compounds in the atmosphere and play substantial roles in radical cycling and ozone formation. The partitioning process of glyoxal and methylglyoxal between the gas and particle phase via reversible and irreversible pathways could efficiently contribute to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation. However, the relative importance of two partitioning pathways still remain elusive, especially in the real atmosphere. In this study, we launched five field observations in different seasons and simultaneously measured glyoxal and methylglyoxal in the gas and particle phase. The field-measured gas-particle partitioning coefficients were 5–7 magnitudes higher than the theoretical ones, indicating the significant roles of reversible and irreversible pathways in the partitioning process. The particulate concentration of dicarbonyls and product distribution via the two pathways were further investigated using a box model coupled with the corresponding kinetic mechanisms. We recommended the irreversible reactive uptake coefficient γ for glyoxal and methylglyoxal in different seasons in the real atmosphere, and the average value of 8.0 × 10−3 for glyoxal and 2.0 × 10−3 for methylglyoxal best represented the the loss of gaseous dicarbonyls by irreversible gas-particle partitioning processes. Compared to the reversible pathways, the irreversible pathways played a dominant role, with a proportion of more than 90 % in the gas-particle partitioning process in the real atmosphere and the proportion was significantly influenced by relative humidity and inorganic components in aerosols. However, the reversible pathways were also substantial, especially in winter, with a proportion of more than 10 %. These two pathways of dicarbonyls jointly contributed to more than 25 % of SOAs in the real atmosphere. To our knowledge, this study was the first to systemically examine both reversible and irreversible pathways in the ambient atmosphere, strove to narrow the gap between model simulations and field-measured gas-particle partitioning coefficients, and revealed the importance of gas-particle processes for dicarbonyls in SOA formation.
A past, present and future perspective on the European summer vapour pressure deficit

Published: February 2022

Abstract. The response of evapotranspiration to anthropogenic warming is of critical importance to the water and carbon cycle. Con-flicting observations about changes of evapotranspiration stem mostly from the brevity of observations in time and space as well as a high degree of internal variability. Here we present the first gridded reconstruction of the European summer vapour pressure deficit (VPD) for the past four centuries. The gridded reconstruction is based on 26 European tree-ring oxygen iso-tope records and is performed using a Random Forest approach. Based on our reconstruction, we show that from the mid-1700s a trend towards higher VPD occurred in Central Europe and the Mediterranean region which is based on the simulta-neous increase in temperature and decrease in precipitation. This increasing VPD trend continues throughout the observation-al period and recent times. Climate model projections show this increase in VPD for the Mediterranean region continuing until the end of the 21st century, whereby the extent depends on the amount of greenhouse gas emissions. In contrast, pro-jected VPD in North and Central Europe shows a tendency towards higher VPD only in the highest emission scenario (the produced data is available here: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5958837 (Balting, D.

The Flexible Modelling Framework for the Met Office Unified Model (Flex-UM, using UM 12.0 release)
Authors: Maher Penelope , Earnshaw Paul
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The Met Office Unified Model (UM) is a world-leading atmospheric weather and climate model. In addition to comprehensive simulations of the atmosphere, the UM is capable of running idealised simulations, such as the dry physics Held–Suarez test case, radiative convective equilibrium and simulating planetary atmospheres other than Earth.
However, there is a disconnect between the simplicity of the idealised UM model configurations and the full complexity of the UM.
This gap inhibits the broad use of climate model hierarchy approaches within the UM. To fill this gap, we have developed the Flexible Modelling Framework for the UM – Flex-UM – which broadens the climate model hierarchy capabilities within the UM. Flex-UM was designed to replicate the atmospheric physics of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) idealised moist physics aqua-planet model. New parameterisations have been implemented in Flex-UM, including simplified schemes for convection, large-scale precipitation, radiation, boundary layer and sea surface temperature (SST) boundary conditions.
These idealised parameterisations have been implemented in a modular way, so that each scheme is available for use in any model configuration. This has the advantage that we can incrementally add or remove complexity within the model hierarchy.
We compare Flex-UM to ERA5 and aqua-planet simulations using the Isca climate modelling framework (based on the GFDL moist physics aqua-planet model) and comprehensive simulations of the UM (using the GA7.0 configuration). We also use two SST boundary conditions to compare the models (fixed SST and a slab ocean). We find the Flex-UM climatologies are similar to both Isca and GA7.0 (though Flex-UM is generally a little cooler, with higher relative humidity and a less pronounced storm track). Flex-UM has a single Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) in the slab-ocean simulation but a double-ITCZ in the fixed-SST simulation. Further work is needed to ensure that the atmospheric energy budget closes to within 1–2 W m−2, as the current configuration of Flex-UM gains 9–11 W m−2 (the range covers the two SST boundary conditions).
Flex-UM greatly extends the modelling hierarchy capabilities of the UM and offers a simplified framework for developing, testing and evaluating parameterisations within the UM.

The intestine is the target organ for infection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. The intestinal epithelium supports the replication of SARS-CoV-2. Blockade of the ACE-2 receptors in SARS-CoV-2 leads to impaired absorption of amino acids in the small intestine, which leads to depletion of the amino acid store. Mechanisms of damage to the pancreas include direct cytopathic effects of SARS-CoV-2 or indirect systemic inflammatory and immune-mediated cellular responses leading to organ damage or secondary enzymatic abnormalities. Gastrointestinal symptoms can occur earlier than other COVID-19 symptoms, and early testing can facilitate diagnosis and treatment before the disease becomes severe.

The effect of cytokinin, thiourea and complex chemical Polyel + F on the ability of water status self-regulation, photosynthesis and on the efficiency of water use by plants under conditions of humidity fluctuations and repeated drought was studied. Glycine max (Merr) L. plants of ‘Nadejda’, ‘Moldovitsa’ and ‘Magia’ cultivars grown in the Mitcherlih vegetation pots with volume of 40 kg soil and exposed to the drought stress at the phases "first trifoliate leaf" and "flowering – pod formation” were used in the study. The studied compounds’ property to increase the plant resistance to unfavorable humidity fluctuations and conditions of repeated moderate drought has been established. Plants that have endured a moderate drought in the early stages of ontogenesis become more tolerant to moderate water stress during flowering and pod formation. The effect of tolerance inducing in plants pre-treated with respective compounds is manifested by increasing the water retention capacity, keeping the internal aqueous medium at a comparatively higher level. After restoring optimal moisture conditions, the plants pretreated with thiourea and Polyel + F restore their functional processes more integrally. The research data suggest that changes occurring at the cellular level in the early stages of development, caused by moderate moisture deficiency and conferring resistance, are initiated when water content decreases and can be consolidated when water loss is not too drastic.

Indian goods have invaded the Indian market, leading to a serious confusion to local enterprises. Despite increased sentiment, Indian product and India's consumer relationship remains tainted by suspicion, antagonism, and distrust. As a result, it's important to know how buyers discriminate between domestic and foreign items. The impact of ethnocentrism, customer antipathy, socioeconomic standing, and personal self-esteem on purchase intention toward Indian products is investigated in this study. The findings show that consumers in developing countries have very different views and behaviors than their counterparts in rich countries. The link between ethnocentrism and consumer resentment is not as strong as one might think. Indians' buy intentions are influenced by their personal self-esteem and customer animosity, while ethnocentrism and socioeconomic class play a role. Status, on the other hand, has no such effect. The goal of the study is to add to the current knowledge on foreign product purchase intentions and to assist marketers in developing marketing mix tactics. Keywords: Brand image, Brand loyalty, Consumer ethnocentrism, Consumer animosity, Product judgment

From Margaret Cavendish to Aphra Behn: A Quantitative Analysis of Stage Directions in Restoration Comedy
Authors: Gómez-Lara Manuel J. , Rosso Antonio
Published: February 2022

Stage directions have not been a central topic in English Drama Studies until recently. Their format, purpose and when they became part of the conventional language of printed plays have been traditionally associated with pre-Interregnum authors, but this article concentrates rather on the Restoration years, when a set of cultural and social circumstances boosted the printing of plays. A quantitative examination of nearly nineteen thousand stage directions from the comedies produced between 1660 and 1682 can contribute to a better understanding of the dramatic activity during this period. Their classification and analysis offer useful insights into new staging practices—technical conditions of the scenic stages plus a more than likely evolution in acting techniques—and the authors' individual preferences regarding performance and their different degree of involvement with the politics of commercial drama.
Building a quality cost model for additive manufacturing
Authors: Hajalfadul Musab , Baumers Martin
Published: February 2022

Additive manufacturing (AM) is the technology used to manufacture products directly by layering the material, so no special tools are needed to produce the parts. AM is favoured by the producers since it is cost-effective when it is used for small production volumes, leading to ease in the customization of products. Previous attempts had been made to develop a cost model for AM. However, most of these attempts did not consider the quality cost. The model developed by Schmid and Levy was the first cost model focusing on the quality cost of AM, they found that quality cost of AM may reach up to 16% of total manufacturing cost. The current research made a further investigation on quality cost. As a result, a detailed cost model for all AM technologies was made. The developed model considered all quality aspects along the AM process chain. The developed model was then used to calculate the quality cost when building several copies of a part; it was found that quality cost was about 20% of the total manufacturing cost. The work then focused on investigating the effect of making replacements for defect parts; this investigation revealed that it was better always to make replacements than just dispose of the defects. Finally, the study recommends the study of the exact effect of applying quality control activities on the percentage of defects, so a precise prediction for the quality cost may be attained. Another recommendation is to extend the detailed cost model for all AM technologies, considering the specific variables in each one

Relevant literature is also reviewed. The Researcher has concluded that many studies have shown most of the SMEs lack access to finance for starting, operating and expanding their businesses, therefore access to finance is always quoted as a major constraint for all SMEsand can seriously affect their ability to survive, upgrade the technology in their business, increase their capacity and even in many cases, expand their market, improve management system or increase productivity as well as profitability. The findings will assist policy makers, development agencies, SME owners and financial institutions to ascertain the appropriate strategy to improve the SME financing.
Research on Relationship Between VC and Innovation Based on a European Panel of VC Investments
Authors: Jun Zhao Yuan
Published: February 2022

In this paper we search for evidence signifying whether VC activity is demand or supply stimulated. Namely, we examine whether innovation and entrepreneurship are fostered by Venture Capital (VC) investments or whether innovative entrepreneurship is a precondition of a VC involvement. Based on a European panel of VC investments, we test the direction of causality between VC and innovation (provide by annual patent applications at the European Patents Office). We present evidence indicating that causality runs from patents to VC suggesting that, in Europe, innovation seems to create a demand for VC and not VC a supply of innovation. In this sense, innovative ideas seem to lack more than funds in Europe. We explain our findings on the basis of information asymmetry issues and irreversibility considerations of VC investments.

Financial firms in a country make a substantial fraction of its equity market. The present study is aimed at examining the factors that influence stock prices with reference to Nigerian banks. Twelve commercial banks in Nigeria are considered for this study for 2012 and 2013. Using linear regression model and partial correlation, the results indicate that for both years considered, net asset value per share and price-book value ratio are strongly correlated with stock market price, and are having significant influence on the stock price. However, dividend per share and price-earnings ratio are significant in 2013, but insignificant in 2012.
