Estado, sociedade civil e democracia na perspectiva da participação social para incorporação de tecnologias no SUS
Authors: Lopes Ana Carolina de Freitas , Soárez Patrícia Coelho de
Published: November 2024

O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar um panorama teórico sobre os conceitos de Estado, sociedade civil e democracia, a fim de contextualizar o pano de fundo no qual os processos de participação social para incorporação de tecnologias no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) se inserem e sob os quais podem ser analisados. Aponta-se que a democracia brasileira está alinhada à visão de democracia participativa. Entretanto, observa-se que os mecanismos concretos de participação social no Brasil ainda dependem do contexto político. Assim, apesar dos avanços da participação social na incorporação de tecnologias no SUS, há de se permanecer vigilante em defesa da manutenção e aperfeiçoamento dos processos instituídos, com especial atenção para quais grupos (e interesses) de fato influenciam as decisões de incorporação de tecnologias no SUS e com processos que avancem para uma perspectiva mais democrática.

Published: November 2024

A Constituição de 1988 marcou a democratização brasileira ao reconhecer e valorizar os direitos sociais, incorporando a participação social não apenas como fiscalização estatal, mas como elemento fundamental nas políticas sociais. A Lei nº 8.142/90 estabeleceu a participação comunitária na gestão do SUS, garantindo Conferências de Saúde e Conselhos de Saúde como espaços de deliberação e controle social. Movimentos associativos, ou coalizões organizadas de indivíduos, incluindo organizações de pacientes, têm impulsionado essa participação, destacando-se na mobilização por reconhecimento e inclusão de demandas na agenda governamental. Desde 2010, observa-se um aumento dos movimentos protagonizados por pacientes e familiares, desafiando o modelo paternalista de cuidado. Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender o perfil das associações de pacientes e movimentossociais em relação às formas de participação social em saúde no âmbito dos poderes Executivo, Legislativo e Judiciário, demandase necessidades para aprimoramento desta participação. Essas informações foram coletadas por meio de um questionário estruturado, dividido em cinco blocos temáticos, utilizando-se a plataforma Survey Monkey A análise mostra que, embora haja interesse e interação significativos, ainda persistem lacunas no entendimento das interações com o governo e nas necessidades para reforçar as políticas públicas.

The Problems of “Culture,” and the Future of Universals: A Rejoinder
Authors: Hogan Patrick Colm
Published: November 2024

In the rejoinder to the commentaries on his target article, Hogan seeks to clarify his criticism of “culture” as a theoretical concept and to extend his defense of a research program in story universals. In order to do so, he organizes the fifteen commentaries into groups—advocates of a biocultural synthesis; writers working in the technical analysis of narrative and style; critics who consider the study of literary universals in the context of folklore studies, and so on. In the course of these responses, Hogan touches on a range of subsidiary topics, from Homer’s Iliad to New Historicism.

Introduction: The ‘Scale-Up diaBetes and hYpertension care’ (SCUBY) project provides evidence on scaling-up integrated care (IC) in Cambodia, Slovenia, and Belgium. This paper examines macro-level barriers and facilitators to scaling up IC in these settings.
Methods: We used a multi-case study design, with each country being a case. Document review, focus groups, and stakeholder interviews were conducted. The WHO health system building blocks guided the thematic analysis. We then visualised and examined the interlinkages between barriers in each country.
Results: Common challenges to scaling up IC across the three health systems relate to: governance and leadership; health workforce; inadequate health financing system; and fragmented health information systems. In Cambodia, access to non-communicable disease (NCD) services and medicine are important issues. IC scale-up is facilitated by its strong governance and public health service model in Slovenia but health workforce shortages risk progress. In Belgium, the fragmented governance system and predominant fee-for-service provider payment are important barriers. A common response to health workforce and workload challenges was task shifting: to primary care nurses in Belgium, peer supporters in Slovenia, and community health workers in Cambodia.
Conclusions: Examining differences and similarities between barriers in each health system stimulated reciprocal learning. Interactions between health system barriers in specific contexts require further attention to move complex health systems forward.
Dilematis Mengenai Konsep Bussines Judment Rules di Badan Usaha Milik Negara Indonesia: Sudut Pandang Hukum Perusahaan
Authors: Bathari Qonita
Published: November 2024

Problems in business activities always approach the directors of BUMN. Many of the directors of this State-Owned Enterprise have a central role in economic development in Indonesia. The state does business through BUMN so that it can always prioritize national and national interests. When the directors of a company commit acts that are detrimental to the state, it is often associated with a crime. Even though this aspect of the directors' decision falls into the scope of civil affairs. The purpose of this research is to find out the position of SOEs in the Indonesian legal system and the problems of the Business Judment Rules concept in company law and Indonesian national law. The results of this study indicate that the position of BUMN as a business institution is different from other corporate institutions in terms of the objectives to be achieved. In addition, the juridical problems that occur still show the existence of a blurring of norms and rules of law and have a negative impact on company management, especially the directors of a company. The conclusion of this study shows that the implementation of BJR is still far from the applicable provisions and produces maximum results.

Authors: Oiro Rosebela , Gachoki Charles , Ntara Caroline
Published: November 2024

Regional trade agreements enhance export market prospects by providing preferential access. Since 1986, Kenya has embraced an export-led growth strategy, unswervingly executing trade liberalization through bilateral, regional, and multilateral trade agreements. This study assesses Kenya's export potential within the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) framework, intent on its bilateral trade prospects with six AfCFTA member states namely Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana, Mauritius, Tanzania and Tunisia. Utilizing the stochastic frontier gravity model, the analysis discloses that Kenya’s average export potential is strong, with potential rates of 94% for Cameroon and Tunisia, 66% for Mauritius, 93% for Egypt, 66% for Ghana, and 56% for Tanzania. The findings show that African states possess considerable export potential in agricultural and value-added products. To capitalize on this potential, it is critical to identify specific commodities that align with markets where Kenya's strengths are positioned. The study concludes that a targeted strategy focusing on specific goods for specific markets, along with increased export of agro-processed products through value addition and diversification, can effectively harness this potential.
Performance improvement of a three phase induction squired-cage motor by winding topology configuration
Authors: Assam Sadik , Bensaid Samir , Abbas Sadia , Cheriet Ahmed , Zorig Assam
Published: November 2024

The aim of this paper is to determine the optimal stator winding topology configuration for a 75 kW three-phase squirrel cage motor that provides the highest efficiency, power factor, and optimal starting parameters. The induction motor is simulated using Cedrat FLUX2D finite element software, which enables accurate modeling of its performance. Initially, the motor operation is simulated using the originally manufactured winding topology. Then, several alternative winding topology configurations are tested through numerical simulations. The performance results for each configuration are compared with those obtained from the original winding topology to identify the best option. The simulation results show that the shortened pitch concentric winding, combining both single and double layers, is the winding topology that offers the highest performance for the motor under study, significantly enhancing the overall efficiency of the system. These findings highlight the potential of optimized winding configurations in improving motor performance and energy efficiency.
Thermal analysis of mortar based on crushed dune sand
Authors: Mebarki Boudjemaa , Tafraoui Ahmed , Makani Abdelkadir
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the thermal decomposition behavior of mortars formulated using crushed dune sand and thixotropic polyester resin. Thermal analysis techniques, including Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA), and Gravimetric Thermal Analysis (GTA), were employed to characterize the thermal transitions, decomposition stages, and stability of these mortars. Results indicate that crushed dune sand maintains consistent glass transition (Tg) and crystallization temperatures (Tc) when integrated into the mortar matrix, highlighting its thermal stability. However, the melting point (Tm) varies due to the presence of the resin, which significantly influences the composite’s thermal behavior. Decomposition analysis reveals two major weight loss stages: water evaporation between 200°C to 400°C and organic decomposition of the resin between 700°C to 800°C, with minimal weight change beyond 800°C, indicating thermal stability. The DTA results exhibit distinct endothermic reactions related to dehydration and dehydroxylation, along with a pronounced exothermic peak around 400°C, signifying resin decomposition. Elemental analysis confirms that the crushed dune sand is predominantly silica with minimal impurities, making it suitable for construction applications. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the thermal behavior of polymer-modified mortars, with implications for enhancing thermal and mechanical properties in construction materials.
Numerical study of cellular beams under different types of loading
Authors: Izzeddine Bekkar , Abdelhak Baraka , Tab Bounoua , Ahmed Tafraoui
Published: November 2024

The integration of cellular metal beams in high-rise buildings allows for optimized space utilization for technical equipment, while also reducing floor height and, consequently, the overall weight of the superstructure. However, while these openings provide design flexibility, they can also decrease structural stability by causing deformations in the web posts, especially under concentrated loads. This study focuses on evaluating the strength and stability of open-section beams under various load conditions, using numerical simulations and three-point bending tests. Specific reinforcement solutions were developed to counter instability phenomena and enhance mechanical performance. The results indicate that the finite element model used in simulations provides accurate and consistent predictions with experimental data, validating its utility for in-depth analysis of displacements and failure modes. Notably, the addition of stiffeners proved effective in reducing displacements and enhancing beam stability. This work, still in its exploratory phase, aims to develop a theoretical formula to estimate the contribution of supports to elastic stiffness, paving the way for advances in the use of reinforced metal beams in high-rise construction.
Machine learning techniques for the smart faults detection and diagnosis of centrifugal compressor
Authors: Rezki Nafissa , Rezgui Wail
Published: November 2024

In this work, we have conducted a comparative study among several machine learning techniques with the aim of selecting the best one for classifying faults affecting the compressor system to enable smart monitoring. This study encompasses various machine learning techniques, including Support Vector Machine, k-nearest neighbor, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, AdaBoost, and Bag ensembles. To determine the optimal classification technique, we applied three distinct criteria: the confusion matrix, error histogram, and mean square error through cross-validation. Based on these criteria, the results indicate a tie for the top position between two classification models: Decision Tree and Bag ensemble. To solidify our choice of a single model, we employed the new AutoML technique to automatically identify the most suitable machine learning classification model for our case study. We evaluated this approach using process data obtained from an operational industrial centrifugal compressor. Consequently, the results presented in this work affirm that Decision Tree is the superior technique for classifying faults in the 3MCL compressor.

Authors: ASKARY GR , ASKARY SH , ZAREEF U , YASMEEN U , KHAN S , IMTIAZ SA
Published: November 2024

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic condition with a high risk of transforming into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Identifying reliable biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring of OSF is crucial for malignancy prevention. Objective: This study evaluates the expression of Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α (HIF-1α) in saliva as a potential biomarker for OSF. Methods: Study was a cross-sectional study conducted in Karachi. The study was completed in 6 months from July 2023 to December 2023 and Sixty-five OSF patients participated in the study, providing saliva samples analyzed for HIF-1α expression using immunohistochemically (IHC). Clinic pathological features, including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and etiological factors (tobacco, smoking, areca nut), were documented. Relationships between clinical symptoms (burning sensation, pain, ulceration, and dry mouth), fibrosis severity, and HIF-1α staining intensity in blood vessels and fibroblasts were assessed. Results: The study population included 68.3% males and 31.7% females, with a mean age of 32.56±4.12 years. Tobacco use (47.7%) was the most common etiology. HIF-1α expression was significantly elevated in fibroblasts compared to blood vessels, with mild staining in 54.2% of blood vessels and 49.8% of fibroblasts. Increased HIF-1α expression correlated with more severe OSF symptoms, indicating a higher risk of malignant transformation. Conclusion: HIF-1α is a promising biomarker for early diagnosis and assessment of malignant potential in OSF. Early detection and monitoring could improve clinical management and reduce OSCC risk, warranting further research for validation and therapeutic targeting.
Ultrafast antiferromagnetic spin dynamics in high magnetic fields
Authors: Dolgikh Irina
Published: November 2024

This research explores how spins in magnetic materials behave when subjected to ultrafast laser pulses and high magnetic fields, with a focus on the phase diagram of ferri- and antiferromagnetic materials. The phase diagram is crucial in understanding the transitions between different magnetic states under varying temperature and magnetic field conditions. Femtosecond laser pulses rapidly heat materials like ferrimagnetic iron garnet and antiferromagnetic FeRh, driving them across critical points in their phase diagrams - such as the compensation temperature in iron garnet and the magnetostructural transition temperature in FeRh. These rapid temperature changes trigger ultrafast spin dynamics, which are analyzed in relation to the applied magnetic fields and temperatures. The study reveals that spins in collinear phases of the materials are less responsive to laser-induced heating compared to those in non-collinear phases. The reorientation of spins towards equilibrium is delayed in collinear phases, taking longer due to the spin-lattice interaction. The role of mechanical strain is also examined, showing how tensile or compressive strain influences the dynamics within the phase diagram. This research highlights how manipulating parameters like magnetic field, temperature, and strain can finely control phase transitions and spin behaviour for faster magnetic data processing.

The model of price of sailing ships based on Lasso regression
Authors: Zhang Yueying , Zhou Xinyi , Wang Yingfei , Wang Dongmin
Published: November 2024

For the sample data of sailing ships and the listed price prediction of sailing ships based on the characteristics of sailing ships found on the website, we first conducted data cleaning on the original data obtained. In this stage, there were many missing values and outliers in the original data. After filling the missing values with mode, We transform the classified variables into dummy variables, and finally normalize them to convert the original data into the training data of the model. Then, we obtained the predicted value of Listing Price (USD) through multiple regression fitting. By calculating R2 as 0.929, it was found that the model fitting effect was perfect, but there were too many variables due to the conversion of attribute variables to dummy variables, so it was necessary to compress model variables to select key variables. Since this topic is the explanation of Listing Price (USD), the coefficient of each variable needs to be known, so tree model is not adopted. In linear model, Lasso regression mainly screens model variables. In this case, Lasso is the main screening method. The mean square error of the listing price predicted by the multiple regression model based on Lasso regression adjustment parameters is 0.125, indicating that the model has high accuracy and the simulated listing price predicted is relatively high.

Authors: Gao Yidan , Ding Shengnan
Published: November 2024

In the context of globalization, foreign cultures have permeated people's daily lives extensively. Consequently, the dissemination of Chinese culture to the international community has become a matter of urgency. Food culture, as a crucial aspect of Chinese heritage, merits thorough exploration. The HSK, a standardized test assessing foreigners' proficiency in Chinese, offers valuable insights through its annual test content. Therefore, this paper analyzes 60 sets of real questions sourced from the "HSK Real Question Set (Levels 1-6)" from both the 2014 and 2018 versions. By examining the food culture referenced in these questions and comparing it to the content of the "HSK Standard Course," this study aims to identify the primary foods featured in the dissemination of Chinese food culture globally, assess any shifts in dissemination focus over recent years, and evaluate the alignment between textbook compilation and actual test content.
Express Proximity and The Like from Distant Times in The Holy Qur’an: Objective Study
Authors: Al-Rouqi Hamed
Published: November 2024

This research aimed to shed light on an aspect of rhetorical linguistic expression in the Holy Qur’an, through an inductive study that collects verses that express proximity and the like from distant times, and an analysis of those verses, to reach the intent of the Holy Qur’an in using this method. The research came with an introduction and a preface in which the definition of proximity in the language, along with an explanation of the meanings of proximity used in the Holy Qur’an, then four topics: The first topic: The Qur’an’s use of temporal proximity in its original meaning. The second topic: Verses in which distant and near times are expressed. The third topic: The benefits of expressing nearness and distance. The fourth topic: The impact of this Qur’anic expression on those who came after. The most prominent results are: 1) It has been proven through this research that one of the linguistic methods of the Holy Qur’an is to express something far away by something near, and the like. 2) It has been shown in this research that this method has benefits: such as shortening a person’s hope, motivating believers, encouraging them, giving them patience with what befalls them, not afflicting sinners, and other benefits. 3) By explaining this method, we respond to the suspicion of those who claim that the Qur’an expressed times as being near, but it became clear with time that they were far away. Among the most important recommendations: expanding the study of Qur’anic methods, especially those that may appear to be an area of rebuke for those who do not expand the study of the Holy Qur’an, the Arabic language, and their methods.

Published: November 2024

This paper explores the application of privacy-preserving analytics in human resources (HR), focusing on the synergistic use of federated learning and differential privacy. As HR departments increasingly leverage data-driven insights, the protection of sensitive employee information becomes paramount. Federated learning enables collaborative model training without centralizing raw data, while differential privacy adds calibrated noise to ensure individual data remains indiscernible. Together, these techniques form a robust framework for safeguarding HR data while enabling advanced analytics. The paper discusses the challenges of handling sensitive HR information, examines the implementation of federated learning and differential privacy, and demonstrates their combined effectiveness in maintaining data utility while ensuring privacy. By adopting these approaches, organizations can derive valuable workforce insights, comply with data protection regulations, and foster employee trust. This research contributes to the growing field of ethical data use in HR, offering a blueprint for balancing analytical capabilities with privacy imperatives in the modern workplace. Keywords—Privacy-preserving analytics, Federated learning, Differential privacy, HR analytics, Data protection, Employee privacy, Decentralized learning, GDPR compliance, CCPA compliance, Sensitive data handling, Data-driven HR, Privacy-utility trade-off.
