Die rol van Direkteure in Bedryfsleiding
Authors: Van Rooyen D. C.
Published: October 2022

A remark that shareholders often make is, “I actually invest in the board of directors of that company." This remark is indicative of the tremendous responsibility which accompanies directorship. The writer observes that the board of directors commands a special place in the managing hierarchy of a company. As such its task includes to a greater or lesser extent the functions of management, planning, organising, directing, co-ordinating and control. Furthermore, it is the task of the board to guarantee the existence of the company within the framework of present and anticipated economic, political and social conditions. In order to achieve this fully, the board of directors must on the one hand have the confidence of the shareholders and, on the other hand, the loyalty of the management and the labour force.It is also necessary that the board of directors give priority to the interests of the company, that it clearly formulates its policy, that it sets realistic goals, that it gives recognition to the interests of the shareholders, that it selects top management with the greatest care and that it exercises the necessary control to ensure that the policy is carried out and that all objectives are attained. A director must think dynamically and adjust himself and his company’s activities to changing circumstances.

Published: October 2022

Multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) is a severe form of asthenozoospermia categorized by immotile spermatozoa with abnormal flagella in ejaculate. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is used to detect pathogenic variants in patients with MMAF. In this study, a novel homozygous frameshift variant (c.6158_6159insT) in dynein axonemal heavy chain 8 (DNAH8) from two infertile brothers with MMAF in a consanguineous Pakistani family was identified by WES. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) confirmed DNAH8 mRNA decay in these patients with the DNAH8 mutation. Hematoxylin–eosin staining and transmission electron microscopy revealed highly divergent morphology and ultrastructure of sperm flagella in these patients. Furthermore, an immunofluorescence assay showed the absence of DNAH8 and a reduction in its associated protein DNAH17 in the patients’ spermatozoa. Collectively, our study expands the phenotypic spectrum of patients with DNAH8-related MMAF worldwide.
Euclidean Artin–Tits groups are acylindrically hyperbolic
Authors: Calvez Matthieu
Published: October 2022

In this paper, we prove that all Euclidean Artin–Tits groups are acylindrically hyperbolic. To any Garside group of finite type, Wiest and the author associated a hyperbolic graph called the
additional length graph
and they used it to show that central quotients of Artin–Tits groups of spherical type are acylindrically hyperbolic. In general, a Euclidean Artin–Tits group is not
a priori
a Garside group but McCammond and Sulway have shown that it embeds into an
infinite-type
Garside group which they call a
crystallographic Garside group
. We associate a
hyperbolic
additional length graph to this crystallographic Garside group and we exhibit elements of the Euclidean Artin–Tits group which act loxodromically and weakly properly discontinuously on this hyperbolic graph.
Flip graphs for infinite type surfaces
Authors: Fossas Ariadna , Parlier Hugo
Published: October 2022

We associate to triangulations of infinite type surfaces a type of flip graph where simultaneous flips are allowed. Our main focus is on understanding exactly when two triangulations can be related by a sequence of flips. A consequence of our results is that flip graphs for infinite type surfaces have uncountably many connected components.

Authors:   Departamento de Cirugía, Unidad Médica de Alta Especialidad (UMAE), Hospital de Especialidades (HE), Centro Médico Nacional de Occidente (CMNO), IMSS, Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, Delgado Miguel Angel Flores
Published: October 2022

Malignant hyperthermia is a subclinical myopathy in which general anesthesia triggers an uncontrollable contraction of skeletal muscle that leads to a life-threatening hypercatabolic state and an increase in body temperature. The disease is primarily autosomal dominant; mutations in receptors (especially ryanodine receptor type 1) predispose to volatile anesthetic agents or succinylcholine causing an accumulation of intracellular calcium in skeletal muscle that leads to its overactivation and hypermetabolism. In the acute setting, diagnosis is based mainly on clinical presentation and end-tidal capnography, which reveals an increase in end-tidal CO2. Initial treatment measures include discontinuation of the agent causing the reaction and administration of dantrolene. In non-acute settings, there are specific diagnostic tools such as the caffeine-halothane contracture test to confirm suspected cases. MH is a lethal disease and has a high mortality rate if not treated early.

Introduction: One of the interventional measures that can be justified under international law is self-defence. When there has been an armed attack, on the condition that it is instant, overwhelming situation, leaving no means, no moment of deliberation, that is a justifiable proposition for self-defence.Purposes of the Research: To examine and analyze the influence of the doctrine of pre-emtive military strike on efforts to establish new international legal provisions.Methods of the Research: This research uses normative juridical research methods with legal materials used, namely primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. The collection technique is carried out through literature studies and then analyzed using qualitative methods.Results of the Research: The practice of some countries today in order to anticipate such an attack, pre-emtive military strikes are carried out in the context of anticipatory self-defense, with the aim of conducting self-defense before an attack occurs. The practice of anticipatory self-defence has become a serious conversation among academics, even when the act is practiced repeatedly continuously by a number of countries and recognized for its existence, it is certain to set a precedent that leads to the creation of an international customary law. Self-defence anticipatory measures applied in the doctrine of preemptive military strike have been adopted by several countries before and after the formation of the UN organization. But this has not set a legal precedent, despite efforts to make it an International custom through the practice of countries. If this is allowed to take place, it will at some point become customary international law. The application of the preemptive military strike will affect the establishment of new international law provisions.

Published: October 2022

With the rapid development of the Internet, a new carrier for people to perceive the world and communicate with each other - audio and video - is gradually being favoured by the public. The development of multimedia technology and artificial intelligence technology has provided a milestone for the maturity of audio and video technology. In particular, short video platforms have slowly become a new network position for various media promotions. Especially at the moment of the epidemic, the channel of understanding the world through audio and video is increasingly valued. The public has put forward higher demands on the content and presentation of audio and video. Therefore, it is particularly important to produce quality audio-video that meets the requirements of the times, which cannot be achieved without a feasible audio-video editing system. In addition, after previous research and practice, the application of artificial intelligence technology in the field of imaging has also become mature, including some applications in the direction of entertainment. Applying AI technology to the video editing process can improve the efficiency of video editing, increase the interest of video content, and allow video creators to focus on content creation without spending too much time and energy on video editing operations, thus creating better quality videos. This design is the main technology of OpenCV and front-end technology stack, such as JavaScript, React and Electron, to implement basic video editing, video filters, in addition to the development of a friendly interactive interface. The implementation of basic video editing module and video filter module are both based on OpenCV implementation. In this design, the basic video editing implements pan, zoom and rotate operations on the video, and the video filter module is implemented by changing the RGB channel values of the image. The operations on the video can be broken down into operations on each frame of the video, and OpenCV provides a way to implement these operations. The paper concludes with a summary of the shortcomings and flaws in the design, and an outlook on the next steps and future directions.      This design is the main technology of OpenCV and front-end technology stack, such as JavaScript, React and Electron, to implement basic video editing, video filters, in addition to the development of a friendly interactive interface.

Authors: Georgia de Souza Frossard Andrea , Frossard de Almeida Georgia
Published: October 2022

Apresenta-se o campo dos cuidados paliativos sob um olhar atento para o sofrimento social com base no conceito de dor total, desvelando suas dimensões e abordagem prática associada ao processo de trabalho interdisciplinar em saúde. O estudo objetiva uma análise sobre os cuidados paliativos e sua relação com os direitos humanos, baseado nas concepções multidimensionais inerentes à dor, em especial, a dor social. Desse modo, a investigação se desenvolve com uso de pesquisa documental e bibliográfica com base nas obras de autores clássicos, como Cicely Saunders e Michel Foucault, em sua última fase, para compreensão sobre dor e finitude. Na realidade brasileira, o alívio da dor social depende de uma abordagem intersetorial e participativa. Logo, pressupõe uma ação interdisciplinar sustentada por políticas públicas de saúde para viabilizar acesso e manutenção de assistência aos pacientes em paliação. Conclui-se, que os pacientes em estado intensificado de vulnerabilidade, dado a condição-limite imposta pela não perspectiva de cura, devem ter a possibilidade de ressignificar as suas vidas e, portanto, dependem de um duplo movimento: de um efetivo estado protetor  e de equipes preparadas para esse cuidado integral.
Vinegar: A functional ingredient for human health
Authors: Perumpuli Buddhika , Dilrukshi Nirosha
Published: October 2022

Vinegar is a well-known natural food product derived from alcoholic and subsequently acetous fermentation of carbohydrate-rich foods. Vinegar is widely used in the food industry; domestically for pickling vegetables and fruits, and as an ingredient in condiments like salad dressings, ketchups, and mayonnaise; and traditionally as a food seasoning and preservative. Historically, vinegar has been used for medicinal purposes such as a cure for stomach aches, wounds, burns, rashes, and oedema conditions. Different types of vinegar are found worldwide such as rice, black, balsamic, grain, and fruit vinegars. These are produced from different raw materials, and using different fermentation methods to give unique tastes and flavours. Vinegar, while enhancing physiological functions such as lipid metabolism, blood glucose level control, and body weight management, also possesses anticancer, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-infection properties. It is considered as a good source material for many bioactive compounds including organic acids, melanoidins, polyphenols, ligustrazine, and tryptophol. The pharmacological and metabolic benefits of vinegar are believed to be due to these bioactive compounds present in vinegar. Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is the essential component of vinegar; it is slightly volatile and has a strong and sour aroma and flavour. Regular consumption of vinegar-containing foods is considered important for keeping many life-style related diseases like diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, cancers, and obesity in check. Therefore, the present review aims at highlighting the health benefits associated with vinegar consumption for the physiological well-being of an individual.
What is the relationship between evaluation and performance of Church of Uganda Projects in Namirembe Diocese?
Authors: Katimbo Duncan , Okoche John Micheal Maxel
Published: October 2022

Purpose: Evaluation as a good management practice and an integral function of the project life cycle improves project performance (Shapiro, 2007; Nyonje et al, 2012; Shelber, 2014). The Church of Uganda planned various evaluations to determine the performance of the strategic plan 2025.  This paper examined the relationship between evaluation and performance of Church of Uganda Projects in Namirembe Diocese.

Methodology: A Cross sectional survey design was used on a study population of 117 respondents. 87 respondents filled the Survey questionnaires whose responses were analysed by using correlational and regression analysis by using PSPP software Version 1.2.0-g0fb4db. Key Informant interviews and an FGD were carried out and responses were analysed using content analysis and results presented as text. The empirical results were presented in frequencies, percentages and summarized into tables.

Findings: Descriptive findings highlighted that evaluation to some extent improves project performance (mean 3.1), This was further supported by the qualitative findings. However, inferential statistics revealed that evaluation had a non-significant positive relationship with Project performance (β=0.17, p= 0.188>0.05).

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: In conclusion, this paper established that evaluation to some extent influences project performance. The weaknesses included; having impromptu evaluations of what has not been monitored, lack of evaluation skills and knowledge, lack of commitment from staff, lack of allegiance to the Diocese and only local parish focus, lack of having set Key performance indicators (KPIs) and baseline information. Therefore, to improve upon the performance of Church of Uganda projects, it is important to strengthen the evaluation mechanisms; baseline evaluation, mid-term evaluation and end-term evaluation. The non-existent evaluation framework will be developed with informed decisions from the study.

Published: October 2022

A carne bovina é um dos principais itens da pauta produtiva brasileira e um produto relevante no volume exportado pelo Brasil. Durante a pandemia de covid-19, o preço da carne bovina ocupou posição de destaque nas análises setoriais agrícolas em decorrência do aumento nos preços. O objetivo desta pesquisa é observar o comportamento da produção nacional, das exportações e da oferta doméstica de carne bovina. Por conseguinte, realizou-se uma previsão de oferta doméstica para janeiro de 2021 a dezembro de 2022 (24 meses). A partir dos resultados obtidos, constatou-se que a oferta de carne bovina disponível ao mercado brasileiro não apresentará comportamento expressivo de alta que compense a evolução nos embarques do bem aos mercados internacionais. Assim, poderá ser observado um deslocamento do preço da carne bovina no mercado interno a patamares superiores.

O presente estudo justifica-se devido ao fato de o setor cafeeiro ser uma forte peça na economia, ocupando a quinta posição no ranking de commodities mais produzidas e exportadas pelo Brasil. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar as variáveis de custos da cultura do café conilon que registraram diferenças significativas entre cidades das principais regiões produtoras do País, no período de 2016 a 2018. A pesquisa é quantitativa, documental e descritiva. Para análise, utilizaram-se a Análise de Variância (ANOVA) e o teste de Scott-Knott para a comparação das médias. Os resultados evidenciaram que o estado do Espírito Santo, segundo maior produtor do País, apresenta, de modo geral, custos mais altos para a cultura do café conilon, e os menores custos foram registrados pelas cidades de Rondônia analisadas. A Mão de Obra foi o item com maior representatividade nos custos totais, com valor bem acima em relação ao dos demais, seguida de fertilizantes, também com valores significativos frente ao custo total de produção do café conilon. Verificou-se que os custos de produção são estatisticamente diferentes entre as cidades analisadas, e as variáveis com maior variabilidade em suas médias foram: Agrotóxicos, Depreciação de Máquinas, Exaustão de Cultivo e Remuneração Esperada sobre o Cultivo. Este trabalho pode contribuir para o conhecimento dos custos na cultura do café conilon entre as cidades pesquisadas, de modo a auxiliar os produtores a realizarem uma adequada gestão de custos para alcançar rentabilidade superior.
E2IDS: An Enhanced Intelligent Intrusion Detection System Based On Decision Tree Algorithm

Published: October 2022

Due to the increased usage of the Internet of Things and heterogeneous distributed devices, the development of effective and reliable intrusion detection systems (IDS) has become more critical. The massive volume of data with various dimensions and security features, on the other hand, can influence detection accuracy and raise the computation complexity of these systems. Fortunately, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has recently attracted a lot of attention, and it is now a principal component of these systems. This work presents an enhanced intelligent intrusion detection model (E2IDS) to detect state of the art known cyberattacks. The model design is Decision Tree (DT) algorithm-based, with an approach to data balancing since the data set used is highly unbalanced and one more approach for feature selection. Furthermore, accuracy, recall and F-score are selected as the performance evaluation metrics. The experimental results show that our E2IDS not only overcomes the benchmark work but also reduces the complexity of the computing process.
Cancer Detection using Deep Learning: A Survey
Authors: Shuaib Ibrahim , Osaghae Edgar , Frederick Basaky
Published: October 2022

Cancer refers to a group of diseases that are defined by abnormal cell proliferation and can spread to other parts of the body. Pancreatic cancer originates in the organ behind the lower stomach called the pancreas. The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes as well as hormones that help regulate sugar metabolism. Pancreas cancer is usually discovered late, spreads quickly, and has a poor prognosis. Cancer-specific symptoms may not appear until later stages, and there are no reliable screening techniques to identify high-risk patients. The manual method of checking whether a patient has Pancreatic cancer or not can be time-consuming and it can be tedious because it required experience in Radiologist interpretation; to avoid poor decisions by giving wrong diagnoses to patients. One of the leading causes of cancer death is pancreatic cancer; however, if found early enough, it can be treated. To solve this issue, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been developed, trained, and tested using an abdominal Computed Tomography (CT) scan images dataset to detect pancreatic tumors by many authors. To detect the tumor, it employs image processing techniques of a convolution neural network to detect the tumorous area in the image after it has been pre-processed. It was observed that the technique gives better accuracy in tumor detection.
Consecuencias en el desarrollo cognitivo de menores expuestos a situaciones de violencia de género: una revisión bibliográfica
Authors: De la Cruz Fernández Lucía , Rodríguez Pascual Iván
Published: October 2022

En la actualidad, la violencia contra la mujer es considerada como un gran problema de salud social y día a día va aumentando la concienciación sobre este problema, al ritmo que se incrementa la disponibilidad de los recursos para ayudar a estas mujeres maltratadas. No obstante, encontramos un elemento que permanece olvidado, los hijos e hijas de estas mujeres, las “víctimas olvidadas” de la violencia de género. Estos menores que han sido expuestos a situaciones de violencia de género, poseen una gran tendencia a desarrollar en un futuro complicaciones en todos los ámbitos de su desarrollo, especialmente en el cognitivo. Esta es la razón por la que es fundamental la detección y atención temprana de estas complicaciones, para, de esta manera, intervenir lo antes posible con el propósito de corregir estas deficiencias y solventarlas a tiempo evitando su agravación.Por esta razón, el siguiente trabajo consiste en una revisión y actualización bibliográfica, llevada a cabo mediante una metodología basada en una revisión sistemática de la literatura, con una muestra de 18 estudios realizados en los últimos 10 años, que analiza si la exposición de estos menores a situaciones de violencia machista provoca consecuencias en su desarrollo, especialmente, en el cognitivo; destacando los roles del trabajador social y los docentes como medios principales para intervenir con estos menores. Los resultados de este estudio indican que, realmente, estos niños y niñas sufren graves consecuencias en su desarrollo, destacando la necesidad de una buena formación de los profesionales que intervienen con estos menores, para que posean los conocimientos, las herramientas y los recursos necesarios para que esta intervención se pueda llevar a cabo factiblemente.
David Haid y el Teatro de Mannheim de Mies van der Rohe
Authors: Santatecla Fayos José , García-Requejo Zaida , Lizondo Sevilla Laura
Published: October 2022

Este artículo investiga el papel que David N. Haid –estudiante de posgrado del IIT y ayudante en la oficina de Mies van der Rohe– desempeñó en el proyecto del Teatro Nacional, presentado al concurso convocado por la ciudad de Mannheim en 1952 y resuelto en la primavera de 1953. El trabajo de archivo y el método de análisis comparativo ponen de manifiesto dos aspectos importantes. En primer lugar, que el proyecto realizado por Mies van der Rohe para el concurso bajo invitación es coetáneo con el proyecto final de máster, titulado An Arts Center y defendido por Haid en junio de 1953; una tesina que fue supervisada por Mies, tal y como consta en su prefacio. En segundo lugar, que el parecido entre la propuesta de Haid para un centro de arte polivalente y el Teatro de Mannheim de Mies es muy evidente, siendo ambos proyectos idénticos en casi todos los aspectos: métrica, proporción, estructura, e incluso la construcción de sendas maquetas y puesta en escena de sus fotografías. La coincidencia temporal y arquitectónica de ambos trabajos revela el rol tan determinante que David Haid tuvo en este singular proyecto, hasta la fecha únicamente atribuido a Mies van der Rohe.

Published: October 2022

En los últimos años, el debate sobre los territorios rurales ha ganado visibilidad en los medios de comunicación, en el ámbito político y en diferentes niveles de la administración. Desde el Grupo de Investigación en Urbanismo de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, venimos contribuyendo a este debate con investigaciones que abordan temas vinculados al análisis morfológico de poblaciones y territorios en contextos rurales. A lo largode estas investigaciones hemos puesto el foco en el análisis de problemáticas vinculadas al desequilibrio en la distribución de las personas y actividades en el territorio y en la despoblación rural, con el objetivo de evaluar la relevancia y el potencial de tantos ámbitos, así como las posibilidades de revertir situaciones y procesos de cierta complejidad. El presente artículo quiere mostrar algunas de las perspectivas desde las que venimos reflexionando sobre estos territorios. Estos trabajos tienen en común su abordaje transescalar, la utilización de nuevas tecnologías para el análisis, la vinculación entre la investigación aplicada a la docencia, la implementación del research by design y la colaboración entre departamentos universitarios y diferentes administraciones.
