LIMITES À AUTONOMIA DA VONTADE NAS RELAÇÕES DE CONSUMO
Authors: von Mühlen Laura Schneider
Published: August 2024

This article aims to analyze, through a historical review following the era of absolutism, the consequences of the unrestricted application of the principle of autonomy of will by private parties in market relations. The chosen methodology includes the deductive method, as well as a review of relevant literature and legislation. Initially, it is necessary to contextualize the traditional Western view of the principle of autonomy of will and the results of its full application in pure private law; subsequently, the transformation from pure private law to social private law is examined; finally, the constitutional and infra-constitutional regulation of consumer relations within the Brazilian legal system is addressed as a way of imposing limits on the misuse of the autonomy of will.
O impacto positivo da aplicação da logística reversa na política de saneamento básico.
Authors: PALMA LUCIANO
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo propõe uma análise da aplicação da logística reversa e sua influência no campo do saneamento básico nacional. Ao incentivar ações de coleta dos resíduos, a logística reversa ajuda a dar um destino aos materiais como plástico, vidro, alumínio e papel, por exemplo. Essa ação colabora com a cadeia de reciclagem e com o meio ambiente, já que evita que os materiais – que podem levar mais de 100 anos para se decompor – acabem em aterros ou lixões. Essa aplicação quando adequada e eficiente, torna mais pontual a retirada dos resíduos sólidos e facilita a aplicação dos institutos do saneamento básico, tornando mais fácil a aplicação da legislação ambiental e a preservação do meio do ambiente

Geriatric Patients are more Sensitive to Anesthetics
Authors: Franjic Sinisa
Published: August 2024

The aging processes of the body affect all processes in the body in different ways. A large part of the elderly is functionally independent; are healthy or have milder chronic diseases under control. However, some of the elderly are particularly weak; they have severe chronic diseases, a high level of comorbidity and may have low functional capacity. Before choosing pharmacological agents, anesthesiologists must make a preoperative assessment of the patient before anesthesia. Elderly patients often have co-morbidities for which they take several medications that may have negative connotations. People age differently, which is why the health status of elderly patients varies significantly from individual to individual. Clinicians should be particularly aware of tailoring care and support to the needs of individual patients, and for older people this may include careful consideration of how to prevent functional decline. The decision about which anesthetic technique to use depends on the type of surgery to be performed as well as patient-specific factors.
Kulturelt ansvarlig didaktik: Lærerstuderendes perspektiver og erfaringer
Authors: Benediktsson Artëm Ingmar
Published: August 2024

Resumé På trods af at kulturel mangfoldighed giver forskellige muligheder og igangsætter positive ændringer i skolemiljøet, peger undersøgelser i Danmark på, at skolelærere ofte føler sig uforberedt på at skulle arbejde med elever med en transnational baggrund. Denne artikel præsenterer resultater fra et kvalitativt studie, der undersøger lærerstuderendes perspektiver på og erfaringer med undervisningsmetoder designet med fokus på elevernes kulturer og sprog. Undersøgelsens teoretiske ramme er baseret på teorier om multikulturel pædagogik og kulturelt ansvarlig didaktik. Det empiriske materiale består af individuelle interviews med i alt 14 studerende, der på dataindsamlingens tidspunkt (foråret 2022) nærmede sig afslutningen på deres læreruddannelse. Resultaterne indikerer, at læreruddannelsen ikke udruster de studerende med en dybtgående forståelse af undervisningsmetoder, der er velegnede til undervisning af elever med en transnational baggrund. Selvom de studerende havde visse kundskaber og idéer om integreringen af elevernes sprog i undervisningen, blev integreringen af kulturer betragtet som en udfordrende opgave.
Abstract Although cultural diversity introduces various opportunities and brings positive changes to school environments, previous research in Denmark indicates that schoolteachers often feel unprepared to work with children of a transnational background. This article presents findings from a qualitative research project exploring Danish student teachers’ perspectives on and experiences with teaching methods designed with children’s cultural and linguistic diversity in mind. The theoretical framework of the study draws on the scholarship on multicultural education and culturally responsive teaching. The study participants were 14 students who, at the time of the study (spring 2022), were finishing their teacher education programme. The findings suggest that there is room for improvement in Danish teacher education to better equip students with a holistic understanding of teaching methods suitable for multicultural classrooms. The participants had some knowledge and ideas on integrating children’s languages, whilst integrating cultures was considered a significantly more difficult task.
THE EFFECT OF SERVICE DELIVERY AUTOMATION (SDA) ON THE SOUTH AFRICAN BANKING INDUSTRY
Authors: Akilimalissiga Save , Sukdeo Nita
Published: August 2024

Adoption of automation has become the norm in the South African banking industry, owing to competition. Conventional banking institutions are uncertain of the possible adverse effects of integrating automation into banking processes to serve more customers with fewer resources. This study sought to investigate and model the extent to which the integration of automation could be the exogenous factor of the nine endogenous factors identified in this study. The five most prominent banking institutions in South Africa, were used as a case study. The study used a quantitative approach, and 223 bank employees were selected to contribute to the questionnaire survey, and the primary data were analysed using the structural equation modelling (SEM) technique to test the proposed hypotheses. The secondary information was extracted from the banks’ annual integrated reports and fact sheets to generate additional insights into the primary data findings. The findings revealed that service delivery automation is a significant and direct predictor of productivity, efficiency, flexibility, operations costs, and the generation of new job opportunities (positive effects). Similarly, the adoption of bank automation was found to be significantly related to the generation of job losses, the changing nature of work, unbalanced demand for required skills, and inequality in wages of employees, which are described as adverse effects.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: To investigate the effects of a single-session character strengths intervention (CSI) on improving identity formation and self-efficacy, and reducing self-doubt of Malaysian emerging adults enrolled in tertiary education. Method: A randomized active-controlled trial with pretest, posttest, 2-week follow-up was conducted. A total of 129 undergraduate students (age 18 – 25) were randomly assigned to either the CSI or the control group, which participated in a gatekeeper training for suicide prevention. Data from emerging adults and perceived adults were analysed separately through a mixed-design analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results: The results indicated that CSI showed no effects in improving emerging adults’ identity formation, self-efficacy, and self-doubt. Additionally, this study explored incidental findings such as the developmental differences between emerging adults and perceived adults at pretest, in which emerging adults had significantly lower identity formation and self-efficacy, as well as significantly higher self-doubt as compared to perceived adults. Conclusions: Despite the current results not being significant, this study revealed important developmental differences between emerging adults and perceived adults.
Understanding the New Stress Factors Affecting Teachers' Burnout: A Scoping Review
Authors:   University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines, Thomas Joby , Reyes Marc Eric S.
Published: August 2024

The teaching profession is extremely vulnerable to burnout. The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic posed new threats and changed the educational environment as well as the perceptions and values of the teachers. The traditional in-person learning approach was quickly replaced by distant online learning to continue education. As schools re-opened, a new educational platform, the hybrid learning model, evolved by fusing the two learning models. The high expectations on teachers to swiftly adopt new teaching methods—often without the required resources or training—exacerbated their exhaustion. We conducted a scoping review to determine the new stress factors causing teachers' burnout following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement. A total of 27 studies were systematically reviewed, and we identified numerous stress factors affecting teachers' burnout. These stressors increased the already existing difficulties, magnifying their detrimental impacts. The stress factors were categorized as organizational, individual, transactional, emotional, cultural, and digital. This review suggests additional research to understand the prevalence of teacher burnout and how these stressors affect teachers' personal and professional lives over time. Despite these challenges, this study demonstrates the need for more in-depth future analysis to develop interventions to lessen teachers' burnout and support them in maintaining their professional lives.

Published: August 2024

Background

Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a common musculoskeletal disorder with many causes. People with fibromyalgia often have the same symptoms as people with celiac disease (CD). Demonstration of the coordination and frequency of FMS and CD is important for effective treatment.

Methods

This is a single center cross-sectional clinical study. The study included 60 patients who were diagnosed with CD by the Gastroenterology Clinic based on American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) criteria. Patients were also asked to complete the Widespread Pain Index (WPI), Symptom Severity Scale (SSS), and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) to diagnose fibromyalgia and assess its severity. The results were used to analyze the frequency of concomitance and relationship between the two diseases.

Results

The relationship between the clinical types of CD and the presence of fibromyalgia was insignificant. Analysis of the relationship between the pathologic typing of biopsy and fibromyalgia frequency was insignificant. Those with antibodies more frequently met criteria for fibromyalgia (P = 0.04, P = 0.04, respectively).

Conclusions

Presence of clinical extraintestinal manifestations in patients with CD should lead clinicians to consider FMS as a possible diagnosis. This points to the importance for clinicians in all subspecialties to be aware of the various symptoms and diseases associated with FMS.

Published: August 2024

The Dentinal Fluid (DF), often referred to as dentinal microcirculation, represents the interstitial fluid within the Dentinal Tubules (DT). Understanding the dynamics of DF is pivotal in comprehending the physiology and pathology of the dental pulp. The composition of the DF, including ions, proteins, and growth factors, plays a critical role in maintaining pulp vitality, but imbalances can lead to various pathological conditions, such as dental hypersensitivity, pulpitis and pulp necrosis. The present review provides insight into the multifaceted role of DF in endodontics, highlighting its significance in pulp nutrition, defense mechanisms, and the mediation of inflammatory responses. Furthermore, it explores the various pathologies that can disrupt the delicate balance of DF, leading to adverse clinical outcomes.

Mulberry silkworm has a distinctive role in many of the discoveries which explained the role of the endocrine organs in insect growth and development. Hormones exert specific actions on the growth and development of silkworms, making them advantageous tools for manipulation in sericulture. By precisely controlling hormone levels or applying hormone analogs, sericulturists can conveniently regulate various aspects of silkworm development, such as larval growth, cocoon formation, and pupation. There have been several attempts to utilize hormones, including phytoecdysteroids, JHAs and AJHs, in commercial sericulture to enhance silk production. Phytoecdysteroids, natural compounds found in plants, have been studied for their potential to promote growth and development in silkworms. Similarly, JHAs and AJHs have been explored for their ability to manipulate hormone signaling pathways and influence developmental processes in silkworms.

Published: August 2024

The objective of this research is to solve problem due to acidity and phosphorus deficiency in soybean crop grown in acidic soils. As acidic soils have an abundance of exchangeable forms of aluminum and hydrogen and a low supply of basic cations, they limit the productive potential of crops. The retention of phosphorus (P) is usually high in acidic soils. At the study area, soil acidity is well-known for limiting the productivity of crop. This study was conducted to determine the influence of liming and phosphorus application on growth of Soybean in acidic soil of Chandauli district. Factorial combinations of four levels of lime (0, 25, 50 and 100% of lime requirement) and four sources of phosphorus (No phosphorus, triple super phosphate, Mussoorie rock phosphate and phosphate rich organic manure) were laid out in completely randomized design with three replications. The results revealed that lime x phosphorus interaction were significant for plant height and relative chlorophyll content SPAD. Findings shows that lime @100% significantly increased the plant height and SPAD values of soybean plant and remained at par with lime @50%. Similarly, application of phosphorus source PROM significantly increased the plant height and SPAD value and remained at par with TSP. Combined application of lime @100% + PROM significantly increased the growth of soybean crop. It remained at par with lime @100% + TSP, lime @50% + PROM, lime @50% + TSP, indicating saving of 50% lime and PROM can be considered as a sustainable alternative that contributes to both phosphorus availability and soil health. The results of the study verified that application of lime and phosphorus sources improved growth and growth related traits of soybean crop.

This study analyzed the dynamic characteristics of railway bridges with low-weight, innovative truss (LIT) girders and evaluated their dynamic behavior under general and high-speed railway operating conditions. A dynamic analysis was performed considering various variables, including the span length (30, 35, 40, or 45 m), track (single or double), main girder type (three or five girders), track type (concrete or ballast), and train type (KTX, HEMU, freight train, Mugunghwa, or express EMU). The train load was modeled as a moving concentrated load, and the damping ratio was applied according to railway design standards. The results of the dynamic analysis showed that in most cases, railway bridges with LIT girders met the allowable criteria for vertical deflection, vertical acceleration, and warping. However, in the case of a 30 m span bridge, the vertical acceleration exceeded the allowable limit at a specific speed of the HEMU-430X high-speed train. The results of this study can be used to evaluate the applicability of LIT girders in railway bridges and provide useful information for future design and construction.
Development of End-Reduced Pre-Flex Girder
Authors: An Jongkuk , Kim Sung , Park Sungjin
Published: August 2024

Bridges serve to connect spaces where natural terrain or structures restrict the movement of people or vehicles. Various bridge construction methods have been proposed, and the application of preflex construction methods has recently increased. The end-reduced preflex girder is a method that applies preflex construction and compensates for the decrease in structural performance and long-term deflection of the bridge. However, in the existing preflex construction method, compliance with the minimum clearance height regulations in Korea, necessitates an increase in the end plan height, which requires an additional embankment that narrows the driver's view. This study was conducted to verify and evaluate the performance of an end-reduced preflex girder that can increase the structural strength and secure the minimum clearance height by attaching a shear reinforcement plate to the bottom of the lower flange, enabling an economical design.

This study aims to prepare an optimal plan to secure evacuation safety in the event of a fire in a school dormitory. Accordingly, the available safe egress time (ASET) was calculated by applying human safety standards, such as an indoor temperature of 60 ℃, a visual distance of 5 m, CO at 1,400 ppm, O2 at 15% and CO2 at 5%. Additionally, in the event of a fire, the required safe egress time (RSET) was calculated by applying factors such as detection, alarm, recognition, interpretation, the evacuation start of the occupants, training status, and the alarm facilities. An analysis of the ASET and RSET showed that in the event of a fire, it is necessary to secure various evacuation routes, in addition to the usual access route, to evacuate quickly by bypassing the fire occurrence point. Moreover, it was found that the ASET varied at each point inside the building, owing to the influences of toxic gases, oxygen, heat, visibility, and smoke resulting from the fire. In addition, in the event of a fire, evacuating along a planned evacuation route designed to minimize confusion and bottlenecks among students was effective for evacuation safety. Finally, it was found that evacuation safety can be secured by designating evacuation routes that are suitable for use in situations in which the location of the fire is unknown.
Thermal Protection Performance Evaluation Based on Structural Composition Changes of the Intermediate-Layer Fabric in Thermal Protective Clothing
Authors: Ro Hoseung , Choi Donmook
Published: August 2024

This study is a follow-up to ‘Research on the Development of Fabrics for Industrial and Firefighting Protective Clothing and Comparison of Flame Retardant Performance,’ focusing on the thermal protection performance of clothing designed to protect the human body from high temperatures and heat in industrial settings and fire scenarios. In this study, additional thermal protection performance tests were conducted to provide a more comprehensive analysis. Aside from the flame-retardant performance evaluation conducted according to ISO 15025 on 12 base fabrics with different yarn compositions, the following thermal performance studies were carried out: radiant heat protection (ISO 9151), convective heat protection (ISO 6942), and combined radiant and convective heat protection (ISO 17492). The heat-transfer index of the intermediate layer, which plays a crucial role in the thermal protection performance of thermal clothing, was also assessed. The results indicated that although most of the 12 base fabrics offered a certain level of thermal protection, some of them melted and failed to provide adequate thermal protection.

Published: August 2024

This study aimed to determine the best safety measures in case of accidental gas leakage, fire, or explosion in the LPG storage tank of a domestic school kitchen by analyzing the ranges potentially affected by toxicity, overpressure, and radiant heat. Using the Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA) program, the range of damage impact of gas leakage, toxicity owing to VCE and boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE), overpressure, and radiant heat were analyzed for a 1,000 kg-capacity small LPG storage tank installed in the kitchen. It was classified into worst-case and alternative (local weather) scenarios, depending upon the weather conditions, and analyzed by dividing into 50% and 100% storage, as per the difference in storage. The observed risk of toxicity placed the entire school area at risk of death or disability. The risk of overpressure posed a threat to buildings in the entire school area and around the school. The risk of blasts revealed a risk of death up to a distance of 135 m, and the farther regions were at risk of second-degree burns. Additionally, the risks of toxicity and overpressure are affected by weather conditions and LPG storage, whereas blasts are primarily affected by LPG storage with minimal impact from weather conditions.

Crustal flow is an important tectonic process active in continent‐continent collisions and which may be significant in the development of convergent plate boundaries. In this study, the results from multidimensional electrical conductivity modeling have been combined with laboratory studies of the rheology of partially molten rocks to characterize the rheological behavior of the middle‐to‐lower crust of both the Songpan‐Ganzi and Kunlun terranes in the northern Tibetan Plateau. Two different methods are adopted to develop constraints on melt fraction, temperature, and crustal flow velocity in the study area. The estimates of these parameters are then used to evaluate whether crustal flow can occur on the northern margin of the Tibetan plateau. In the Songpan‐Ganzi crust, all conditions are satisfied for topography‐driven channel flow to be dominant, with partial melt not being required for flow at temperature above 1000°C. Further north, the Kunlun fault defines the southern boundary of a transition zone between the Tibetan plateau and the Qaidam basin. Constrained by the estimated melt fractions, it is shown that channel injection across the fault requires temperatures close to 900°C. The composition of igneous rocks found at the surface confirm those conditions are met for the southern Kunlun ranges. To the north, the Qaidam basin is characterized by colder crust that may reflect an earlier stage in the channel injection process. In the study area, at least 10% of the eastward directed Tibetan crustal flow could be deflected northward across the Kunlun Fault and injected into the transition zone defining the northern margin of the Tibetan plateau.
Anisotropic low‐velocity lower crust beneath the northeastern margin ofTibetanPlateau: Evidence for crustal channel flow

Published: November 2015

Detailed seismic structure in the crust beneath the northeastern margin of Tibetan Plateau was revealed by receiver functions of a regional permanent seismic network. At most stations, negative P‐to‐S converted phases can be detected in the radial receiver functions, prior to the Moho phases, indicating low velocities in the midlower crust. Prominent azimuthal variations in the transverse receiver functions with polarity reversal suggest azimuthal anisotropy in the crust. We used time variations of the P‐to‐S converted phases at the Moho in the radial receiver functions and the azimuth‐weighted stacking of transverse receiver functions to determine the fast direction and magnitude of anisotropy. The low‐velocity midlower crust with the coherent azimuthal anisotropy in the northeastern margin of Tibetan Plateau is consistent with the lower crustal channel flow model.

One of the most important modes of planet/solar wind interaction are “foreshock transients” such as hot flow anomalies (HFAs). Here we present early observations by the NASA Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN spacecraft, confirming their presence at Mars and for the first time at an unmagnetized planet revealing the underlying ion perturbations that drive the phenomenon, finding them to be weaker than at magnetized planets. Analysis revealed the HFA to be virtually microscopic: the smallest on record at ∼2200 km across and commensurate with the local proton gyroradius, resulting in a much stronger perturbation in solar wind protons than alpha particles. As at Venus, despite being physically diminutive, the HFA is still large (0.66 RM) when compared to the relative size of the induced magnetosphere. Given the associated order of magnitude decrease in solar wind dynamic pressure (411 pPa 
 70 pPa), we find that HFAs at Mars have the potential to directly impact the topside ionosphere. We thus hypothesize that the loss of a planetary magnetic dynamo left Mars far more vulnerable to the pressure pulses resulting from HFAs and related foreshock transients.
