Authors: Fadlani Salam Mochamad , Halimah Syadiah Siti
Published: June 2023

The decrease in the enthusiasm for learning in students shows that students are still less motivated to explore PAI subjects. This habit is because students are not used to using technology as a learning medium. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of PAI learning in using online media in class VIII students at Pahlawan Toha Junior High School, Bandung City. This study uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods. The technique in this study uses triangulation, namely, interviews, observation and documentation. The results showed that the effectiveness of PAI learning using online media was quite effective. It is evident from the achievement of indicators of learning effectiveness with a very high percentage of 77.3%, it can be concluded that PAI learning using online media for class VIII students at SMP Pahlawan Toha City Bandung is effective.
CHERCHEZ LE MAGE. OKULTYZM W ZWIĄZKU RADZIECKIM
Authors: Hapchenko Veronika

Tematem tekstu są zjawiska o charakterze okultystycznym na terytorium ZSRR przed jego powstaniem, w trakcie jego formacji oraz podczas jego upadku w 1991 roku. Wyodrębniłam w nim cztery przypadki, które ukazują, jak ówczesna myśl ezoteryczna przenikała różne środowiska. Na przełomie XIX i XX wieku, gdy wpływy okultyzmu sięgały apogeum, granice między nauką a wiedzą tajemną były zatarte. Okultyzm, który wydaje się tak obcy materializmowi, funkcjonował wówczas na równi z badaniami naukowymi.
L’ART MAGIQUE: PRZYPADEK ZBIGNIEWA MAKOWSKIEGO
Authors: Kuczyńska Agnieszka
Published: June 2023

Artykuł dotyczy krótkiego okresu w twórczości Zbigniewa Makowskiego – kilkumiesięcznego pobytu w Paryżu w 1962 roku – i pokazuje, że katalizatorem przemian, bodźcem, pod którego wpływem dotychczasowe doświadczenia artystyczne i egzystencjalne skrystalizowały się w nowej, magicznej formule malarskiej, był późny surrealizm, szczególnie L’Art magique André Bretona i Gérarda Legranda (1957), ale też koncepcje wystaw m.in. Intrusion in the Enchanters Domain (D’Arcy Galleries, Nowy Jork 1960–1961). Te źródła inspiracji w przypadku Makowskiego w nietypowy sposób łączą się z fascynacją psychologią Carla Gustawa Junga. Magia obrazów artysty w latach 60. polega przede wszystkim na zmysłowym olśnieniu, na cudowności osiągniętej malarskimi środkami. W tym samym czasie Makowski wprowadza elementarz znaków, które odwołują się jednocześnie do podstawowych doświadczeń zmysłowych i tradycji ezoterycznej.

Обоснована необходимость разработки методики измерений массовой концентрации диоксида серы в пиве и пивных напитках. Приведены результаты определения диоксида серы в пиве и пивных напитках по разработанной методике, включающей предварительную дистилляцию пробы по методу Монье-Вильямса. Разработанная методика измерений массовой концентрации диоксида серы в пиве и пивных напитках аттестована в установленном порядке и зарегистрирована в Федеральном реестре. Приведены показатели точности измерений, установленные на основе полученных экспериментальных данных. Показано, что использование воздуха взамен азота для барботирования пробы при проведении пробоподготовки по методу Монье-Вильямса не влияет на результат определения диоксида серы. Для приготовления аттестованных растворов диоксида серы используют коммерческий раствор сернистой кислоты концентрацией 5–6%. Разработанные аттестованные растворы диоксида серы используют в процедуре контроля результатов определений, а также для проверки стабильности работы дистилляционной установки. Установлено, что стабильность аттестованных растворов диоксида серы зависит от матрицы растворителя, при этом наиболее эффективным представляется использование раствора галловой кислоты. Применение предлагаемой методики в производственных и испытательных лабораториях не требует дополнительных средств измерений, вспомогательного оборудования и переобучения персонала.

It is justified the necessity for development of measurement methodology of sulfur dioxide mass concentration in beer and beer drinks. It is presented the results of sulfur dioxide determination in beer and beer drinks based on the developed methodology including preliminary distillation of the sample by Monier-Williams method. The developed measurement methodology of sulfur dioxide mass concentration in beer and beer drinks is certified in accordance with the established procedure and is registered in Federal registry. The indicators of measurement accuracy are given established based on the experimental data obtained. It is shown that the use of air instead of nitrogen for bubbled sample when performing sample preparation by Monier-Williams does not influence the result of sulfur dioxide determination. For the preparation of sulfur dioxide certified solutions, it is used commercial solution of sulfurous acid with concentration 5–6%. The developed certified sulfur dioxide solutions are used in the definitions results control procedure as well as for the distillation unit operation stability check. It is established that the stability of sulfur dioxide certified solutions depends on solvent matrix. In addition to it the most effective is the use of gallic acid solution. The use of proposed methodology in production and testing laboratories does not require additional measuring instruments, auxiliary equipment and retraining of personnel.

Представлен анализ данных по производству винограда и вина в 2022 г. Общая площадь виноградников в мире составляет 7,3 млн га. Наибольшие площади виноградников расположены в Испании (955 тыс. га), Франции (812), Китае (785), Италии (718), Турции (410) и США (390 тыс. га). В России площадь виноградников составляет 99 тыс. га. Мировое производство вина составило 258 млн гкл, то есть на 1% ниже в сравнении с 2021 г. На Италию, Францию и Испанию приходится более половины мирового производства вина, соответственно 49,8; 45,6 и 35,7 млн гкл. Несмотря на засуху и жару весной и летом в Европе, потери урожая оказались незначительными. Мировое потребление вина снизилось до 232 млн гкл, что связано со значительным ростом цен, вызванным энергетическим кризисом и сбоями в глобальной цепочке поставок. В 2022 г. мировой экспорт вина составит 107 млн гкл, что на 5% меньше по сравнению с исторически высоким показателем 2021 г. Италия экспортировала в 2022 г. 21,9 млн гкл вина, что составляет 20% мирового экспорта. Наибольшее снижение экспорта зафиксировали Испания (–2,4 млн гкл), Аргентина (–0,7), Франция (–0,7), США (–0,5) и ЮАР (–0,4 млн гкл). На экспорт вина отрицательно повлияло снижение активности морских перевозок, связанной с высокой инфляцией. Предварительные данные по производству вина в Южном полушарии в 2023 г. показывают его заметное снижение во всех странах, кроме Чили.

The analysis of data on the production of grapes and wine in 2022 is presented. The total area of vineyards in the world is 7.3 million hectares. The largest areas of vineyards are located in Spain 955 thousand hectares, France 812 thousand hectares, China 785 thousand hectares, Italy 718 thousand hectares, Turkey 410 thousand hectares and the USA 390 thousand hectares. In Russia the area of vineyards is 99 thousand hectares. World wine production amounted to 258 million hl, that is 1% lower compared to 2021 Italy, France and Spain account for more than half of the world’s wine production, respectively 49.8, 45.6 and 35.7 million hl. Despite the drought and heat in spring and summer in Europe, crop losses were insignificant. Global wine consumption decreased to 232 million hl, which is due to a significant price increase caused by the energy crisis and disruptions in the global supply chain. In 2022, world wine exports will amount to 107 million hectoliters, which is 5% less than the histori­cally high figure of 2021. Italy exported 21.9 million hectoliters in 2022, which is 20% of world exports. The largest decrease in exports was recorded by Spain (–2.4 million hl), Argentina (–0.7), France (–0.7), the USA (–0.5) and South Africa (–0.4 million hl). Wine exports were negatively affected by a decrease in the activity of sea transportation associated with high inflation. Preliminary data on wine production in the Southern Hemisphere in 2023 show a marked decline in all countries except Chile.
A new matheheuristic approach based on Chu-Beasley genetic approach for the multi-depot electric vehicle routing problem
Authors: Londoño Andres Arias , Gonzalez Walter Gil , Giraldo Oscar Danilo Montoya , Escobar John Willmer
Published: June 2023

Operations with Electric Vehicles (EVs) on logistic companies and power utilities are increasingly related due to the charging stations representing the point of standard coupling between transportation and power networks. From this perspective, the Multi-depot Electric Vehicle Routing Problem (MDEVRP) is addressed in this research, considering a novel hybrid matheheuristic approach combining exact approaches and a Chu-Beasley Genetic Algorithm. An existing conflict is shown in three objectives handled through the experimentations: routing cost, cost of charging stations, and increased cost due to energy losses. EVs driving range is chosen as the parameter to perform the sensitivity analysis of the proposed MDEVRP. A 25-customer transportation network conforms to a newly designed test instance for methodology validation, spatially combined with a 33 nodes power distribution system.
A joint replenishment problem with the (T,ki) policy under obsolescence
Authors: Afonso Ricardo , Godinho Pedro , Costa João Paulo
Published: June 2023

Companies are frequently confronted with the need to order different types of items from a single supplier or to manufacture the items in a production line. Indeed, coordinated ordering of multiple items may lead to important savings whenever a family of items can be ordered from a common supplier, produced in a common facility, or use a common mode of transportation. The Joint Replenishment Problem (JRP) tackles the coordinated replenishment of multiple items by minimizing the total cost, composed of ordering (or setup) costs and holding costs, while satisfying the demand. On the other hand, when items are subject to obsolescence, they may face an abrupt decline in demand as they are no longer needed. This decline can be caused by reasons such as rapid advancements in technology, going out of fashion, or ceasing to be economically viable. The present article develops an extension of the JRP where the items may suddenly become obsolete during an infinite planning horizon. The point at which an item becomes obsolete is uncertain. The lifetimes of the items are assumed to follow independent negative exponential distributions. A model is proposed by using the total expected discounted cost as the minimization criterion. The time value of money is considered through an appropriate discount rate. Extensive tests were performed to assess the impact of obsolescence rates and discount rates on the ordering policies. The progressive increase of the obsolescence rates determines smaller periods between successive replenishments, while the progressive increase of the discount rate determines smaller lot sizes.
The bid generation problem in combinatorial auctions for transportation service procurement
Authors: Yang Fang , Li Sheng-Zhu , Huang Yao-Huei
Published: June 2023

In this work, a probabilistic bid generation problem with the pricing of a bundle of lanes and carrier’s vehicle routing is considered as it is an importation in transportation service procurement. Depending on the network of the vehicle, there exist multiple lanes for traveling between two locations. To solve the bid generation problem efficiently, a two-phase method approach is presented. At the core of the procedure a feasible vehicle routing problem on a multidigraph is solved by an exhaustive search algorithm to enumerate all routes concerning routing constraints and treat each route as a decision variable in the set partitioning formulation. We examine our model both analytically and empirically using a simulation-based analysis.
Optimizing inland port scale and function decisions: A bilevel programming approach
Authors: Ma Junchi , Wang Xifu , Yang Kai , Jian Lijun , Gao Yiwen
Published: June 2023

With the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative, the inland ports planning is receiving more and more attention. In this work, we aim to determine the scale and function of different potential inland ports in a certain region while considering the cargo flow allocation schemes for the inland ports and seaports in cross-border trade. Unlike previous studies, we consider the dynamic interaction between local government and manufacturing enterprises in the inland port planning process. Based on this, we formulate a bilevel programming model for the considered inland port planning problem, where the upper-level focuses on the local government and the lower-level concentrates on the manufacturing enterprise. To solve the proposed model, we develop a hybrid heuristic algorithm by combining a genetic algorithm and an exact solution method. Furthermore, we conduct a case study of the inland ports planning for the Huaihai Economic Zone in China to verify the applicability of the proposed model and algorithm. The computational results demonstrate that the proposed optimization approach can effectively increase the cross-border transportation market share of inland ports within a limited investment amount and reduce the competition among these inland ports. Our case study also provides valuable management insights on inland port planning in terms of manufacturing enterprises weights, investment limit amount, scale effect, and cargo value weights.
Low carbon decision-making model under the combined effect of corporate social responsibility and overconfidence
Authors: Wang Cuicui , Xie Yanle , Wang Hua
Published: June 2023

This paper explores the impact of retailers' corporate social responsibility (CSR) and manufacturers' overconfidence on manufacturers' carbon reduction in sustainable supply chains. We analyze the profits of manufacturers and retailers under different scenarios and explore the social welfare and environmental impacts under CSR. Our results suggest that retailers' CSR and manufacturers' overconfidence contribute positively to promoting carbon mitigation and reducing environmental impacts under certain conditions. However, with increasing CSR and manufacturer overconfidence levels, manufacturers are more likely to lead to worse environmental impacts and carbon emission reduction. In addition, we show that when the manufacturer's overconfidence level is high, manufacturers and retailers are more profitable and contribute to carbon emission reductions in the manufacturer without overconfidence (retailer without CSR) scenario. Moreover, we find that firms have the higher potential to capture optimal overall social welfare in the presence of retailers with CSR and manufacturer overconfidence.
An efficient production planning approach based demand driven MRP under resource constraints
Authors: Xu Guangyan , Guan Zailin , Yue Lei , Mumtaz Jabir
Published: June 2023

Production plans based on Material Requirement Planning (MRP) frequently fall short in reflecting actual customer demand and coping with demand fluctuations, mainly due to the rising complexity of the production environment and the challenge of making precise predictions. At the same time, MRP is deficient in effective adjustment strategies and has inadequate operability in plan optimization. To address material management challenges in a volatile supply-demand environment, this paper creates a make-to-stock (MTS) material production planning model that is based on customer demand and the demand-driven production planning and control framework. The objective of the model is to optimize material planning output under resource constraints (capacity and storage space constraints) to meet the fluctuating demand of customers. To solve constrained optimization problems, the demand-driven material requirements planning (DDMRP) management concept is integrated with the grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm and proposed the DDMRP-GWO algorithm. The proposed DDMRP-GWO algorithm is used to optimize the inventory levels, shortage rates, and production line capacity utilization simultaneously. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, two sets of customer demand data with different levels of volatility are used in experiments. The results demonstrate that the DDMRP-GWO algorithm can optimize the production capacity allocation of different types of parts under the resource constraints, enhance the material supply level, reduce the shortage rate, and maintain a stable production process.

Published: June 2023

The structures of the MnB9 cluster have been investigated by the theoretical calculations. The combination of the genetic algorithm and the density functional theory calculations (GA-DFT) find out seventeen minimum structures, including the local minimum structures and the global minimum structure. The MnB9 cluster can be formed by adding an Mn atom into the B9 cluster. There is also a strong interaction between the MnB9 cluster and the H2 molecule resulting in the expansion or dissociation of the H-H bond. This demonstrates the potential applicability of boron clusters doping manganese in the field of catalyst and adsorption.

Não está claro em que medida o melhor nível de aptidão f ísica (NAF), dentro do universo de
militares que atendam ao padrão de desempenho f ísico mínimo exigido pela instituição, é
realmente uma vantagem em tarefas operacionais. Objetivo: investigar os efeitos do NAF sobre o
equilíbrio corporal e as respostas fisiológicas em uma tarefa de transporte de carga de 4km. O
equilíbrio corporal foi coletado (n=22) usando o equipamento pessoal (22kg), antes e após o
transporte de carga de 4km (esteira). A frequência cardíaca (FC) foi avaliada ao longo da
tarefa, e o resultado mais recente do teste de avaliação f ísica do Exército foi considerado
para o NAF. Testes do tipo ANOVA de medidas repetidas mista e testes t independentes foram
aplicados (p<0,05). O transporte de carga aumentou significativamente a área de oscilação
(72,21±30,94 para 102,68±48,57 mm2) e outras variáveis de equilíbrio, sem efeito do NAF.
Valores mais baixos de FC média foram observados para o grupo com NAF excelente (104,55±9,37
bpm), em comparação com o grupo de NAF bom/muito bom (115,07±10,14 bpm). Transportar 22kg
por 4km piorou o equilíbrio corporal e os militares com melhor NAF realizaram essa tarefa
com menos esforço cardíaco.

Foram comparados os perfis metabólico e cardiorrespiratório de 301 militares do sexo feminino, integrantes tanto de Organizações Militares Não-Operativas (OMNOP) quanto de Organizações Militares Operativas (OMOP) do Exército Brasileiro. Trata-se de um estudo transversal analítico, que analisou as seguintes variáveis: aptidão cardiorrespiratória, marcadores bioquímicos e composição corporal. Na diferença das médias do VO2máx, as militares das OMOP tiveram escores estatisticamente maiores (M = 36,2 ± 4,4 ml/kg/min) do que as das OMNOP (M = 34,2 ± 5,7 ml/kg/min). O VO2máx se correlacionou positivamente com o HDL-c (lipoproteína de alta densidade) e negativamente com triglicerídeo e o Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC). Já o IMC se correlacionou negativamente com o HDL-c e positivamente com triglicerídeo e glicose. A glicose, por sua vez, se correlacionou negativamente com o HDL-c. Os resultados deste artigo corroboram as evidências da literatura em relação às associações significativas, positivas e negativas, entre VO2máx e indicadores de saúde cardiovascular.
A medicina operacional e a ação contra minas: ensaio teórico e a experiência na República da Colômbia
Authors: Silva Rogério Santos
Published: June 2023

A desminagem humanitária é uma das atividades das missões de paz e de assistência militar que envolvem, mesmo com as precauções, riscos na sua execução. Desde o aprimoramento durante a Guerra da Secessão, nos Estados Unidos, as minas terrestres fizeram parte de quase todos os conflitos. A vida útil de uma mina antipessoal pode chegar a 30 anos, o que representa uma ameaça de longa duração e com o conflito em curso, torna-se quase impossível identificar todas as zonas minadas. A medicina operacional é a assistência médica integrada e abrangente, a consulta e a administração de informações médicas em operações táticas, que contribuem para a segurança e o sucesso de uma missão primariamente militar. Este estudo mostra a necessidade de ampliar os conhecimentos das lesões provocadas por explosivos, sobretudo, para os integrantes das missões de desminagem humanitária, diminuindo a mortalidade e a perda de membros.

Objective: To evaluate risk factors associated with stone formation and development and validation of a score for screening Loei urolithiasis patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 1008 individuals, 466 of which were urolithiasis patients and 542 non-urolithiasis, with no history of stone and no evidence of stone from investigations at Loei Hospital between July 2014 and January 2019. This group was used effectively as a control group. Questionnaires were used to collect information regarding demographic parameters, food and water intake and frequency. The information was used to identify any associations with stone formation using logistic regression analysis. Univariable and multivariable analysis were carried out in order to build a predictive model for the likelihood of stone formation. The strength of the classifier from the predictive model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve. Results: Multivariable analysis showed increasing BMI (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) =1.06; 95% CI: 1.01-1.1, p = 0.01); male gender (aOR = 2.09; 95%CI: 1.46-2.98, p < 0.001); family history of urolithiasis (a OR = 2.81; 95% CI: 1.78-4.42, p < 0.001); farmer (aOR = 3.59; 95% CI: 2.44-5.29, p < 0.001); working time > 8 hours/day (aOR = 2.19; 95%CI: 1.47-3.27, p < 0.001); drinking more than 2 liters per day of water (aOR = 1.58; 95%CI: 1.13-2.22, p = 0.01); always eat water spinach (aOR = 3.37; 95% CI: 1.47-7.74, p = 0.01); always eat bamboo shoots (aOR = 9.53; 95% CI: 4.54-19.99, p < 0.001); eat Laab/Koi (a local Thai spicy salad made of raw meat and fish) more than or equal to 3 times per week (aOR = 1.75; 95% CI: 1.05-2.9, p = 0.03) and drink bottled water (aOR = 0.17.; 95% CI: 0.12-0.24, p < 0.001) were statistically significant for stone formation. The predictive model for the likelihood of stone formation has a cut-off value greater than or equal to 0.46 for a sensitivity of 72.41%, a specificity of 79.52%, and area under the ROC curve of 0.83. Conclusions: Increasing BMI, being of male gender, a family history of urolithiasis, farmers, working time > 8 hours/day, regular consumption of water spinach, regular consumption of bamboo shoots, eat Laab/Koi more than or equal to 3 times per week were associated significantly with stone formation. We developed and validated a predictive model to indicate the likelihood of stone formation, which can be utilized for the screening of Loei urolithiasis patients facilitating early detection and early treatment.

Objective: To explore the outcome and factors affecting the success of Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy in upper urinary stone treatment. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 4,293 patients with renal or ureteric stones were treated with ESWL using Siemens Modularis Vario lithotripter at Mahasarakham Hospital between October 2011 and September 2020. NCCT or IVU were used to determine stone characteristics. All patients were followed up at week 12 after treatment to evaluate treatment outcome. The success was defined in cases of the presence of clinically insignificant residual ≤ 4 mm or complete clearance of the stones. Data were tested with multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine the predictors of ESWL success. Results: The overall success rate was 70.1 %. The success rate of patients in the age ≤ 40 years was 78.2% The lowest success rate was from lower calyceal stone with 54.6%, the success rate was 76.3% for stone ≤ 10 mm. and the success rate of stone in surface area ≤ 50 mm2 was 77.0%. The complication rate was 5.2%, and auxiliary procedures were 4%. The mean number of ESWL sessions was 2.1. Multivariable logistic regression analysis demonstrated that age, stone size, stone surface area and stone location were significant predictors of ESWL success. Conclusion: Renal and ureteric stones treatment with ESWL showed good results. Failure of ESWL was observed more in cases of patients with the age of > 40 years, stone size of > 10 mm, stone surface area of > 50 mm2 and location at lower calyx.
The Furcated Metarteriole-Solitary Fibrous Tumour
Authors: Bajaj Anubha
Published: June 2023

Astroblastoma is an uncommon, controversial neoplasm of the Central Nervous System (CNS) emerging from the glia. “Astroblastoma” as a terminology was initially coined in 1924 for a tumefaction characteristically emerging as a unique astrocytic glioma comprised of tumour cells configuring perivascular pseudo-rosettes and appearing immune reactive to Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP). Bucy and Bailey in 1930 delineated diverse macroscopic and microscopic features of the neoplasm with description of individual astroblasts as unipolar cells with broad “feet” amalgamating adjacent to vascular articulations. Subsequently in 1933, Cox categorized astroblastoma as a neoplasm transitioning between astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme.

Published: June 2023

Flooding has become a common occurrence due to climate change leading to prolonged water-logging which suffocates plant rooting, thus reduced growth, yield or total loss. Limited research has been conducted on the same. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of flooding period on the early growth of Grevillea robusta nursery seedlings in Njoro, Kenya. An experiment was set up for 2 months in Egerton University Agroforestry tree nursery using a six months old Grevillea seedlings. Completely randomized block design (RCBD) with 4 treatments replicated 3 times was used. The treatments were: Non-flooding, 2 days flooding, 4 days flooding and 6 days flooding. Data was collected for shoot, foliage and root variables and analyzed using SAS statistical package while means were separated using least significance difference (LSD). Non-flooding recorded the highest performance for all the shoot and foliage variables while the least was 2 days flooding. On the other hand, 6 days flooding was the second in performance for most of the variables especially 3rd internode length (20.2 mm) and fresh shoot biomass (56.4 g) were significantly (P=0.002 and 0.05) higher respectively compared with 2 days flooding (13.5 mm and 46.7 g) respectively. In conclusion, flooding affects the growth of Grevillea seedlings negatively by reducing their growth and this was more pronounced in 2 days flooding. However, for 6 days flooding, the seedlings seem to adjust through development of adaptive strategies in the roots. Further research needs to be conducted on other species and also prolonged flooding period.

Published: June 2023

Background: There is very little epidemiological evidence on the effects of ambient air pollution on brain tumor risk. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between exposure to air pollution and the incidence of brain tumors. Methods: A comprehensive literature search in five international databases, including PubMed/Medline, ProQuest, Scopus, Embase, and ISI/WOS on April 15, 2019, was conducted. The methodology of the present study was based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) statement. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Form was used to evaluate the quality of the selected papers. Results: Five studies that measured adult brain tumors as well as their long-term exposure to at least one of the pollutants criteria for air pollution, PM2.5 absorbance, and proximity to traffic (Trafnear) were reviewed. The results showed that the pooled relative risk (RR) for incidence of brain tumor and long term exposure to Trafnear, PM2.5, PM2.5 absorbance, O3 and NOx were RR = 1.07, (95% CI 0.99–1.16), P = 0.079, for Trafnear; RR = 0.90, (95% CI 0.80–1.00), P = 0.064 for PM2.5; RR = 1.63, (95% CI 1.04–2.55), P = 0.031 for PM2.5 absorbance; RR = 1.3, (95% CI 1.03–1.6), P = 0.023 for O3; and RR = 1.16, (95% CI 0.93–1.45), P = 0.173 for NOx. Exposure to other air pollutants had no statistically significant association with brain tumor incidence. Conclusion: The results showed that exposure to air pollutants, such as O3 and PM2.5 absorbance, had the highest correlation with brain tumor incidence. They also showed an absence of correlation between exposure to certain pollutants (SO2, CO, NO2, PM10, PM2.5) and brain tumor incidence.

Published: June 2023

Varant, belli bir finansal varlığı ya da göstergeyi önceden kararlaştırılan fiyat üzerinden belli bir vadede satın alma veya satma hakkı veren menkul kıymet türüdür. Varant üzerinden yatırımcıya sunulan, belli finansal varlık ya da göstergeyi satın alma veya satma hakkı, varantın türüne göre vade içerisinde veya vade sonunda, belirlenen uzlaşı yöntemine göre kaydî teslimat ya da nakdî uzlaşma ile kullanılabilmektedir. Varantlar, borsada işlem gören veya görecek olan ortaklıklara ait paylarla döviz, emtia ve endeks gibi varlık ya da göstergelere dayalı olarak çıkarılabilmektedir. Finansal yatırım araçlarını işlem gördüğü cari piyasa fiyatına oranla oldukça düşük bir bedel karşılığında satın alma veya satma hakkı sunması bakımından kaldıraç özelliği de taşıyan varantlar, türüne göre; arza olan talebi artırma, fiyat güvencesi sunma, riske karşı korunma ve spekülasyon gibi çeşitli özellikleriyle yatırımcıların ilgisini çekebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada, bir finansal yatırım alternatifi olarak sermaye piyasalarında kabul gören varantlar sahip olduğu sözleşme ve işlem özellikleri bakımından fıkhî bir perspektifle ele alınmakta ve bu kapsamda İslâmî açıdan bir yatırım aracı olabilme potansiyeli analiz edilmektedir.

Published: June 2023

O presente artigo se propôs a testar a hipótese defendida pela literatura especializada de que, a obtenção de Indicações Geográficas, enquanto certificações da produção tendem a resultar em ganhos econômicos como agregação de valor e competitividade do produto no mercado consumidor. Para examinar a procedência de tal alegação foram selecionados 12 indicadores associados à produção, comercialização e emprego e renda na atividade cacaueira do município de Tomé-Açú, no estado do Pará, para o período de 2015 a 2021, utilizando o método hipotético-dedutivo por intermédio da análise exploratória e descritiva de dados secundários governamentais. Os resultados apurados no curto prazo permitem corroborar parcialmente com a alegação defendida pela literatura, no tocante ao fato das Indicações Geográficas resultarem em ganhos econômicos para os produtos certificados.

Authors: Figueiró Ronaldo , Docile Tatiana
Published: June 2023

This study investigates possible correlations between climate change and the prevalence of onchocerciasis. The reported number of individuals treated for the onchocerciasis time series from 2005–2018 was obtained from the World Health Organization Global Health Observatory data repository, whereas the global land-ocean temperature index for the same period was obtained from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. The global land-ocean temperature index was used as the independent data, whereas the reported number of individuals treated for onchocerciasis was used as dependent data on the curve fitting regression models. Brazil (p = 0.0037, r2 = 51.86) and Venezuela (p = 0.0012 r2 = 59.85) in South America and Burundi (p = 0.0397, r2 = 30.7), Cameroon (p = 0.0001, r2 = 71.41), Chad (p = 0.0068, r2 = 46.93), Congo (p > 0.05), The Democratic Republic of Congo (p = 0.002, r2 = 56.4), Ethiopia (p < 0.00001, r2 = 77.52), Malawi (p = 0.0097, r2 = 43.96), Nigeria (p = 0.0055, r2 = 48.68), Uganda (p > 0.05), and United Republic of Tanzania (p < 0.00001, r2 = 76.76) in Africa composed the study group. Overall, the patterns observed suggest that climate change may be associated with a rise in the prevalence of onchocerciasis.

Agribusiness is considered an essential activity for the economic development of a country such a Brazil, which has significant natural fertility. Utilizing this resource to promote social and economic development is considerably challenging for productive regions, known as MATOPIBA. In this context, this study evaluated some socioeconomic impacts of the soybean production in Balsas municipality (Maranhão). A descriptive method was chosen to investigate the reality of the situation in situ, promoted by these commodities. Prevailing data was gathered via a quantitative questionnaire (Google forms), filled-in by collaborators during the soybean planting period. The results demonstrated a unanimous interest (100.0%) in updating agribusiness related information. The agents of the production chain considered the relationship period with suppliers (23.1%), proximity to the sellers (28.1%), and the best buying-price (28.08%) as important factor. The interaction with financial institutions (31.0%); availability of human capital (46.0%), physical (38.0%), financial support (46.0%), and social capital; the public sector investments were also considered critical. The soybean production chain in the Balsas (MA) presented positive and negative socioeconomic implications; greater intervention by the State would be necessary for scientific and technological contributions toward all municipalities involved. However, such implications not prevented the great extension of this important national agricultural culture.

Published: June 2023

In this work, we incorporated the effects of slippage and adsorption into the transient productivity index to determine the pressure in horizontal wells in the simulation of natural gas reservoirs. We modeled the gas slippage by introducing an apparent permeability, a function of the Knudsen number, while the adsorption is incorporated using the Langmuir isotherm. As for the productivity index, we included the transient effects using one of the classic Peaceman reservoir-coupling models, in which we determine the integral exponential function using a polynomial approximation with a wide range of applications. We studied different production scenarios, and the transient productivity index leads to a mitigation of numerical storage. Besides, we showed that the adsorption, slippage, and the horizontal well influence the natural gas production in reservoirs with low permeability.

Socio-cultural is a custom carried out by someone from generation to generation based on trusted habits. One of them is the social culture in carrying out pregnancy checks according to standards known as K6 visits. Visits of K6 pregnant women are contacts of pregnant women with health workers to get ANC services according to the 10T standard, and the frequency of visits is at least six times during the gestation period, namely one time in the 1st trimester, two times in the 2nd trimester, and three times in the 3rd trimester. It aims to analyze socio-cultural relations with K6 visits. This study uses a research design analyst with a cross-sectional approach. Data were taken from interviews with respondents using questionnaires and observation sheets, carried out at the KIA Polyclinic at the Klenang Kidul Health Center on June 16 - August 22, 2022, with 30 respondents using accidental sampling. Data collection includes coding, editing, and tabulating, and then the data is analyzed manually and by computer testingChi-square. Of the 30 respondents studied, most were aged 20-35 years (50%), most of them had junior high school education (43.3%), most of them did not work (60%), the decision-makers in conducting pregnancy checks were pregnant women themselves (40 %), some are Madurese (70%), the majority are Muslim (100%), some respondents have one child (46.67%). The pregnancy status is mostly multigravida (46.67%). Most respondents were social and cultural (60%) and made K6 visits (53.3%). Data analysis in this study uses Uji Chi-Square with a value of α=0.05. The calculation results obtained a p-value < 0.05, namely 0.001 < 0.05, meaning there is a socio-cultural relationship with K6 visits at the Klenang Kidul Probolinggo Health Center. It is hoped that the Klenang Kidul Probolinggo Health Center will improve pregnancy check-up services according to the standards set by the government by providing counseling on the benefits of Antenatal Care as early as possible and not be affected by the existing social culture to reduce Maternal Mortality Rates and Infant Mortality Rates.
