CONFLICTS BETWEEN TRIBES IN SOUTHERN KADUNA: A COMPARISON TO EAST UKRAINE
Authors: Waliyullahi Abimbola , Temidayo Onojobi , Bamidele Suraju
Published: May 2023

The goal of this study is to investigate the ethnic conflict in southern Kaduna in connection to eastern Ukraine, which has now spread internationally as a result of major countries' action on Ukraine's behalf. The Hausa-Fulani are Muslims, whereas indigenous Christian communities make up the bulk of the population in southern Kaduna. Although the root causes of the situation in southern Kaduna are multifaceted given their theological and sociopolitical undertones, they are primarily cultural and patriotic in the case of Ukraine. The special status of the Russian language is a subject of heated debate among those on the side of Ukraine's government and opposition nationalists who are pro-Russia. The study's purpose dictated that premordialism theory be used as a working model. Ethnic activists and nationalists commonly employ primordialist ideas to explain and defend ethnic wars, like the ones under study (in southern Kaduna and eastern Ukraine). In addition to hoping that the United Nations is permitted to fulfil the purpose for which it was established so that peace can return to Ukraine, we also hope that the same can be achieved in southern Kaduna if the recommendations of the state and federal governments assigned to investigate the crisis are dusted off and implemented. In conclusion, it is hard to discuss peace in an environment rife with injustice and nepotism. More peace advocacy is needed from the main international political powers, but they can only do that if they allow the United Nations (UN) to function freely. Primordialist theories are frequently used by ethnic activists and nationalists to explain and justify ethnic conflicts, such as those in southern Kaduna and eastern-southern Ukraine, which is why this research supports the use of the primordial theory of ethnic conflict despite its flaws.

ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE IN INDIA: IMPACT, LAWS, AND SOLUTIONS
Authors: Kaur Khalsa Narender
Published: May 2023

Illegal wildlife trade has emerged as a major threat to the conservation of wildlife species in India. Despite the existence of laws and regulations to control and prevent wildlife crime, the illegal trade in wildlife continues to flourish. This paper examines the challenges associated with the illegal wildlife trade in India and evaluates potential solutions to address the issue. The research draws on secondary sources such as academic articles, government reports, and news articles to analyze the trends and patterns of wildlife trafficking in India. The research finds that the illegal trade in wildlife in India is driven by a complex set of factors, including demand for traditional medicines, fashion, and exotic pets, as well as weak law enforcement, corruption, and lack of public awareness. The research identifies potential solutions to address these challenges, including strengthening legal frameworks, improving enforcement measures, enhancing public awareness and community participation, and reducing consumer demand for wildlife products. The paper concludes that a comprehensive and coordinated approach is required to combat illegal wildlife trade in India and protect the country's rich biodiversity.
Electrical Drives Using Model Predictive Controller Strategies
Authors: R. Karpe Suraj , Deokar S.A. , Shinde U.B.
Published: May 2023

High-level control techniques in power gadgets incorporate Predictive controller of current (PC CONTROL) and Predictive controller of torque (PT CONTROL). It is simple to include system restrictions. There is no need for the weighting component. Together with the PT CONTROL and PC controller systems, the SRM method is the most practicable direct control technique since it doesn't require a modulator and offers 10% to 30% more power than an induction motor. With the same current, an induction motor can only generate between 70 and 90 per cent of the force generated by an SRM due to its lagging power factor. When compared to the PT CONTROL and PC controller method employing an induction motor and a 15-level H-bridge multilevel inverter, the SRM approach reduces THD in torque, speed, and stator current by 23 per cent. The transistors are only swapped when necessary to maintain the limits of flux and torque, which minimizes switching losses. To improve the efficiency of a multilevel inverter, semiconductor switches are switched in a specific pattern. In contrast to the PT CONTROL and PC controller approaches using a 2-level voltage source inverter, the fifteen-level H-bridge multilevel inverter employed in this study, coupled with SRM and IM, gives outstanding torque and flux responses and achieves stable and robust operation. This unique strategy quickly caught the interest of academics due to its simple method.

Published: May 2023

O surto do coronavírus (COVID-19) impactou no estilo de vida especialmente de idosos, e as consequências da interrupção súbita de um programa de atividade física não foram investigadas. Desta forma, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o impacto do lockdown da segunda onda da COVID-19 na Qualidade de Vida Relacionada à Saúde (QVRS) e no Nível de Atividade Física (NAF) de idosos da cidade de Manaus, Amazonas. Este prospectivo aplicado a 53 idosos, inscritos em um programa comunitário universitário, sendo proposto por duas entrevistas via telefone (Pré = dezembro/2020 e Pós = fevereiro/2021). A QVRS foi avaliada pelo Short Form 6D e o NAF pelo Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física. Um aumento significativo no equivalente metabólico foi observado (X² = -4,54; p<0,001). No entanto, não foram observadas alterações significativas nos escores de QVRS e no tempo sentado (P>0,05). Nossos achados sugerem que a segunda onda da COVID-19 provocou aumento no NAF, mas sem alterações na QVRS e tempo sentado de idosos.

Published: May 2023

El proyecto “Estudio de patrones de Lateralidad de atletas élites y su reserva”, del Centro de Investigación del Deporte Cubano (CIDC), determinó recientemente los patrones de lateralidad de los miembros de la Selección Nacional de Clavados. Sin embargo, se tiene conocimiento que existen factores externos que pueden anular la lateralidad genética del deportista durante el aprendizaje y desarrollo de habilidades motrices. Por tanto, se requiere profundizar en la caracterización de este grupo para proceder con efectividad en el aprovechamiento de estas fortalezas. El objetivo de este artículo es diagnosticar la relación existente entre las lateralidades de hombro, cadera y pierna de apoyo y las dominancias laterales en la Selección Nacional de Clavados durante las ejecuciones del giro sobre el eje longitudinal y la carrera de trampolín. Se utilizaron métodos del nivel teórico: análisis-síntesis, inductivo-deductivo, y del nivel empírico: revisión de documentos; las técnicas investigativas: entrevista y encuesta y como estadística: la distribución porcentual y la moda. El diagnóstico reveló las concordancias y divergencias existentes entre las dominancias laterales y las lateralidades individuales, así como la influencia del proceso perceptivo-cognitivo en la determinación de las preferencias rotacionales.

Las protestas en Cuba del 11 de julio: causas de una rebelión
Authors: García Hernández Frank
Published: May 2023

Las protestas que tuvieron lugar en Cuba el 11 de julio de 2021 visibilizaron a nivel internacional que el país caribeño vivía no solo una crisis económica, sino también política. Durante la década de los noventa del pasado siglo, la economía cubana vivió una situación mucho más grave que la actual. Sin embargo, la situación política actual dista mucho de ser aquella que podía controlar Fidel Castro con el peso de su autoridad política y su papel en la historia del país. El 11 de julio de 2021 confluyeron tanto elementos históricos -la situación social crítica, el desabastecimiento, cierto cansancio frente al régimen- como novedosos -la pandemia, la crisis turística, el rol de las redes sociales-. Si bien no se trató de una movilización anticapitalista, sí fue popular, por su composición y reivindicaciones, más allá de que la derecha y el imperialismo hayan buscado apropiársela. Más allá del reflujo subsiguiente, las protestas abrieron un nuevo escenario político. En este trabajo se ofrece un análisis del contexto socioeconómico y político que dio lugar al 11 de julio, de las características de las protestas y su significado.

Published: May 2023

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder characterised by presence of oligomenorrhoea, anovulation and hyperandrogenism in females. PCOS mainly observed in women in adolescent age to pre-partum resulting in abortions. Symptoms mainly include irregular menstrual cycles, anovulation, acne, hirsutism and oligomenorrhea. The pathophysiology of PCOS involves the primary ovarian abnormalities, endocrine alterations and metabolic modifiers such as anti-Mullerian hormone, insulin resistance and chronic inflammation which causes metabolic disturbances and results hormone imbalance which results in hyperandrogenism therefore development of cysts in ovaries is observed. Diagnostic criteria are mainly done from the Rotterdam criteria of PCOSwhich includes mainly presence of menstrual irregularities, ultrasound scanning and Luteinizing Harmone (LH) and Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) ratio and raise of androgens level in body. Treatment options includes oral contraceptive pills, metformin therapy for insulin intolerance, local treatments for hirsutism by laser hair removal therapy, hormone replacement therapy for hyperandrogenism and acne. Non-pharmacological treatment includes diet changes, regular exercises and weight loss. Early diagnosis of PCOD can improve the quality of life and minimize the chances of causing cardiac problemsand further complications caused by PCOS such as hair loss, infertility and if left undiagnosed may result in uterus cancer.

Background: Tuberculosis is a global disease leading to cause death worldwide. The Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme (RNTCP), Directly Observed Treatment Short Course (DOTS), was launched to reduce tuberculosis mortality, improve patient adherence to treatment, and prevent the development of drug resistance. The aim of this study was treatment outcome of tuberculosis. Treatment outcome is an important indication of tuberculosis control programme.
Methodology: An ambispective observational study was conducted in a government general hospital from August 2019 to January 2020 on the treatment outcomes of PTB and EPTB in the 15 years and older age group, both males and females, on category I regimens. Patients with comorbidities like HIV, diabetes, and social habits like smoking were included. Record based TB diagnosed data (August 2019 to January 2020) are taken and asses their treatment outcome after 6months of complete therapy. The recorded and collected data were analysed to evaluate the success rate of treatment outcomes for PTB and EPTB.
Results: A total of 350 subjects were enrolled in the study, of which 311 are included and 39 are excluded due to incomplete data. The study with age group of 15 and above years where males 218(70.10%) and females 93(29.90%). Total pulmonary tuberculosis cases are 277 (89.07%), and extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases are 34 (10.93%). Subjects with HIV 48(15.43%), Diabetes 54(17.37%) and Tobacco smoking 85(27.33%). The treatment outcome was observed as follows: cured 144 (46.30%), treatment completed 98 (31.51%), transfer out 10 (3.21%), died 27 (8.69%), treatment failure 7 (2.26%), treatment lost to follow-up 14 (4.50%), and treatment regimen changed 11 (3.53%). At the end of the treatment, the success rate was found to be 78%.
Conclusion: This study shows that the TB patients' treatment success rate was 78%, which is slightly less than the RNTCP norms. The died rate was 8% which is higher than national average. Perhaps the services need to improve tuberculosis case detection in HIV patients, while cure rates have to be improved in RNTCP. EPTB case enrolment is very low, whereas the referral system has to improve its services. So that EPTB cases enrolment may increase its number. The early detection may enhance the cure rates in patients.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan gambaran mengenai bagaimana suatu soal dipersiapkan atau dirancang serta bagaiman hasil analisisnya. Bedasarkan Peraturan Menteri Negara Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara dan Reformasi Birokrasi (Permenpan) Nomor 16 Tahun 2009, kegiatan yang harus dilakukan oleh guru terkait dengan tugas pokoknya sebagai pengajar adalah menyusun rencana pembelajaran, melaksanakan pembelajaran yang bermutu, menilai dan mengevaluasi hasil pembelajaran, serta menyusun dan melaksanakan program perbaikan dan pengayaan terhadap peserta didik (Permenpan No. 16 Tahun 2009, pasal 1, ayat 1 dan 2). Namun terkait itu semua, kenyataan di lapangan menunjukan bahwa akhir-khir ini banyak kalangan mengeluhkan hasil belajar siswa yang masih rendah. Lebih-lebih menyangkut hasil ujian nasional, khususnya pada mata pelajaran bahasa Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dengan fokus analisis dokumen. Berdasarkan hasil analisis dengan menggunakan perangkat komputer program ANABUT ditemukan bahwa hanya sebagian kecil soal yang termasuk katagori valid (berdasrakan daya pembeda soal) , yaitu hanya 2 soal dari 50 atau 0,4 %, sedangkan selebihnya 10 soal atau 20% harus diperbaiki, dan 38 soal atau 76 % ditolak. Jadi apa yang sesuai dan layak pada tahap prapelaksanaan belum tentu sesuai dan layak/valid di tahap pascapelaksanaan.
Kritická sociologie a sociologie kritiky
Authors: Boltanski Luc
Published: May 2023

The aim of the present article is to shed light on the background of the analytical frame that has been developed by the author himself and his colleague L. Thévenot in De la justification. Les économies de la grandeur. It has been conceived as an instrument to be applied in the analysis of the critical operations (criticism and justification in situations of conflict) carried out by the actors in their everyday lives. Yet the position of the sociologist and therefore of his work is challenged at the same time. The critical actor and the “classical” sociologist that pretend to have access to a more genuine reality than ordinary people have and that thus assume a critical position, appear to be much closer to each other than it is usually believed. In order to make the analysis of the critical operations possible, this position of the “classical” sociologist must be abandoned. This is how our critical societies, in which actors are endowed with critical resources and use them quasi-permanently, can be grasped as an object of sociological analysis. The author then examines the conditions of possibility of such a sociology of criticism and the sociologist’s new position he is conducted hereafter to occupy.
Émile Durkheim a tzv. Hobbesův problém řádu: co se skrývá na dně „prvního" ze sociologických mýtů?
Authors: Maršálek Jan
Published: May 2023

This paper deals with the relationship between Emile Durkheim’s sociology and the contractualist tradition of political philosophy, represented here principally by Thomas Hobbes. Its aim is to show that Giddens’s strict rejection of Parsons’s claim according to which Durkheim has reopened in his work the “Hobbes’s problem of order”, should not be accepted as such, because it’s radicality hides that what is the value in Parsons’s thesis. As we argue, Parsons has the merit of noticing that Hobbes and Spencer, who – in respect of their social philosophies – are usually seen as opposed, appear to be close to each other when they are considered by Durkheim as to the conception of the society their philosophies yield. Yet Durkheim’s criticism of their individualistic conception of society results in a critique of their theories of the state. It is then proposed that Durkheim’s sociology is an endeavour to conceive the society independently of the state, and thus, inversely, to emancipate the state from the society, so that it can be entrusted with a different function other than the guarantor of the social order.
Claude Lévi-Strauss v sociologii: Baudrillardova teorie společnosti konzumu
Authors: Maršálek Jan
Published: May 2023

Contrary to what is often thought, the structuralist approach has never been adopted in French sociology very extensively. When speaking about structuralism in this discipline, the work of Pierre Bourdieu is generally referred to. The present paper is intentionally heading in another direction and is questioning Lévi-Straussian traces in Baudrillard’s theory of the consumer society. First, Baudrillard acknowledges being in debt to Lévi-Strauss for his conception of consumption as a language. In this perspective exchanged goods are understood as object-signs. We believe nevertheless that Baudrillard goes even further when he analyzes the phenomenon of absurd violence, bearing in mind – even he does not directly disclose it – Lévi-Strauss’ concept of “free signifier”. All the same we finally conclude that Baudrillard’s use of Lévi-Strauss is rather cursory. Despite this fact it is of interest: Thus we follow Baudrillard’s analysis and consider the problem of social criticism, which is one of the main topics of his writings here discussed.
1970’LER TÜRKİYE’SİNDE İSLAMCI HAREKETİN SENDİKALAŞMA VE GREVE YÖNELİK YAKLAŞIMI
Authors: CELEP Bariş
Published: May 2023

1970’ler Türkiye’de sendikal mücadelenin zirve yaptığı bir dönemi temsil etmektedir. Bu süreçte sadece sendikal hareket gelişmemiş aynı zamanda farklı politik hareketler de kitleselleşmeye başlamıştır. 70’lerde serpilen politik hareketlerden biri olan İslamcılığın da sendikal mücadeleye bakışında ciddi bir dönüşüm yaşanmıştır. Daha önceleri sendikalara karşı mesafeli bir tutum takınan İslamcı hareket, 70’lerin ikinci yarısında sendikal hareketi muteber bir faaliyet olarak adlandırmıştır. Bu dönüşümde iki temel etken belirleyici olmuştur. Bunlardan biri İslamcı hareketin sendikaları, sayıları giderek artan işçiler arasında yürütecekleri dini-politik propagandanın taşıyıcısı olarak görmesidir. Bir diğer gerekçe ise sendikalar kurarak veya mevcut sendikaların yönetimlerini ele geçirerek, işçi sınıfı içerisinde yükselen sol temayüle bir ket vurma isteğidir. Bu bakış açısı, İslamcı hareketin kendi sendikaları olan HAK-İŞ kurulana kadar mevcut sendikalara (DİSK, TÜRK-İŞ, MİSK) karşı yaklaşımını da belirlemiştir. Bu açıdan sendika konusunda bir dönüşüm yaşayan İslamcı hareket, sendikaların ellerindeki en önemli hak arama aracı olan grev konusuna ise mesafeli yaklaşmaya devam etmiştir. İslamcılar açısından grev, dini açıdan hak yemek olarak adlandırılmış ve kriminal bir faaliyet olarak takdim edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, 1970’lerde İslamcı hareketin sendika ve grev konularına yaklaşımını ortaya koymayı ve bu yaklaşımlardaki dönüşümü açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır.
O processo de ensino e aprendizagem de línguas estrangeiras: a representação social de professores universitários sobre o papel do professor
Authors:   , Souza Vanessa Veiga de
Published: May 2023

Inserido em diversas áreas do conhecimento, o fenômeno da representação social pode ser compreendido em relação a formação de professores. Não são muitos estudos na área que relacionam representações sociais e o papel do professor, dessa maneira, este estudo é baseado nesse fenômeno, onde o foco é nas representações sociais do papel do professor e como as emoções e as experiências prévias diante do processo de ensino e aprendizagem de línguas estrangeiras, contribuem para a percepção desse papel. Embora existam diversos estudos acerca das representações sociais, aqui elas são concebidas como as construções de um determinado objeto por meio das relações, da linguagem, da comunicação, das crenças, das experiências, das emoções e que permite que aquele sujeito, através das representações, possa se sentir parte de um grupo no qual identifica-se com esse mesmo objeto (MOSCOVICI, 2015). Com bases nos estudos sobre emoções, experiências, papel do professor e representações sociais (MATURANA, 2002; MICCOLI, 2097; MORGADO, 2001; CONCEIÇÃO E SOUZA, 2012; ROJO, 2012; FERNANDES, 2012; JODELET, 1989; MOSCOVICI, 2015), esta pesquisa, caracterizada como qualitativa tem como objetivo analisar as representações de professores universitário sobre seu próprio papel enquanto formadores de professores, identificando e reconhecendo suas experiências e emoções vive ciadas no ensino de línguas estrangeiras. Para a realização deste estudo, contamos com a colaboração de dois professores universitários de universidades federais diferentes, de Minas Gerais. Os dados desta pesquisa foram gerados através de três instrumentos: questionário perfil via formulários Google, uma narrativa visual e uma entrevista online via Google Meet. A narrativa visual foi analisada a partir da Gramática do Design Visual (KRESS; van LEWEEN, 2006), enquanto os outros dados foram analisados com o auxílio de um software conhecido como MAXQDA 2020. Os dados analisados sugerem que a representação social do papel do professor formador é o de mediador, preocupado com a realidade dos alunos, que os coloca como importantes no processo de aprendizagem (JODELET, 1985; SPINK, 1993). Ademais, os resultados apontam que as experiências e emoções auxiliam na construção da representação social do papel do professor e estão relacionadas. Acreditamos que esta pesquisa possa contribuir para reflexões acerca do papel do professor e sua representação enquanto formador de futuros professores de línguas, bem como impulsionar que professores formadores possam refletir sobre suas trajetórias e suas práticas. Palavras-chave: Representação social. Experiências. Emoções. Ensino e aprendizagem de línguas estrangeiras.

Lagena Inferocostata – An Opportunistic Index Species of Hydrocarbon Pollutants in Gokana and Khana Local Government Areas of River State, Nigeria
Authors: Etukokwu Ugochukwu Alex , Udom Godwin Jeremiah , Giadom Ferdinand
Published: May 2023

Thirty shallow cores ranging from 0.0 – 1.0m and composited into upper and lower section, was studied to determine relationship between petroleum hydrocarbon pollutants and benthic foraminiferal species in order to determine an index for environmental monitoring in the study area. The core samples were taken from Gokana and Khana Local Government Areas of Rivers State, Nigeria. The cores were treated with Rose Bengal solution to distinguish between then acoenose and biocoenosis benthonic foraminiferal. The cores were analyzed for sedimentology, petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations and micropaleontology. Sedimentological descriptions of the cores indicated inhibited free flow of fluids based on the rock textures which mostly consists of clays and peaty clays. Petroleum hydrocarbons analysis consisted of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH). The results in concentrations of the petroleum hydrocarbons indicated higher concentrations in the upper composited sections. Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon (TPH) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) ranged between (20612mg/kg – 37.09mg/kg and 9.55mg/kg – <0.01mg/kg respectively) in the upper composited section and between (14731mg/kg – 14.67mg/kg and 5.71mg/kg – <0.01mg/kg respectively) in the lower composited section. Occurrence of benthonic foraminiferal in the study samples is very low to barren among very low diversity. Three benthonic foraminiferal diversities were identified in the study samples and included Lagenainferocostata, Anomalinoidesspp and Ammodiscus spp. Benthonic foraminifera showed negative correlation with TPH/PAH in the presence of carcinogenic Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) congeners except for Lagenainferocostata which increased consistently and significantly with increasing TPH/PAH in the two composited sections. This suggested Lagenainferocostata as an Index opportunistic species for the hydrocarbon polluted study area.

In order to find out the structural characteristics of the substance of the Quaternary, the liquefaction grade of sandy soil, the distribution of sandy soil liquefaction and the influence on the buildings and fields in the liquefaction area in the Anning River valley within the map area of Youjun Town, the liquefaction of sandy soil and pulverized soil layers distributed in the Anning River Valley is judged according to the requirements of relevant specifications. The main research means include collecting relevant engineering data in the region, arranging exploration holes on both sides of the river valley, hydrogeological investigation, etc. , obtaining the regional distribution and grade of sand and soil liquefaction through in-situ tests, indoor experiments and analysis, and drawing the sandy soil liquefaction contour sheet. The results show that the distribution of surface sandy soil in the region is mostly lenticular and interbedded, most of the sandy soil is buried deeper than 10m, and the distribution of sandy soil layers is regional from north to south. It is also ascertained that there is less sandy soil on the north side and no sandy soil layer in most of the area, the distribution of sandy soil layer on the south side is obviously concentrated, most of them are buried deeper; and the liquefaction area and the area with serious liquefaction grade are mainly concentrated in the southern part of the river valley (Yangjiaheba-Lisuo area) , which is oval-shaped and distributed along the Anning River Valley, while the liquefaction grade in the rest of the area is in the range from slight to moderate. The study of sand and soil liquefaction in this area will provide the theoretical basis for the subsequent engineering construction planning in this area.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Brazilian biofuel chain, according to the Porter’s competitive advantage approach. The Brazilian biofuel policy is worldwide known not only by stimulating its production, but also by granting tax incentives. The current paper highlights how the biofuel policy was developed in Brazilsince the adoption of Proálcool, how this chain works, and how the government coordinates the different production stages. Despite Brazil had gone by different phases, from the full adoption and support by the federal government to the low public incentives, most of the mills kept the productive structure of Proálcool.The results of this study show that the government participation is crucial for the success of the biofuel program. In addition, unlike other nations,Brazilstill has the possibility to increase his production – either through harvest area or through productivity – without environmental damage. Thus,Brazilcould increase its exportation, with relative competitive advantage. Finally, the study results show that, in a medium-term, the biofuel exportation growth cannot affect fuel prices in domestic market, which is another competitive advantage in international market.

Published: May 2023

Este artigo analisa a taxa de retorno do à educação no Brasil em um período de crescimento da escolaridade média e do percentual de pessoas com escolaridade superior no Brasil, em boa medida dada tanto pela expansão das vagas nas universidades públicas, bem como pelo aumento significativo de crédito de financiamento nas instituições particulares e elevado aumento no número de bolsas elevando o acesso às instituições privadas. Para tanto foram estimadas regressões quantílicas com base nos dados das PNAD’s. Há variações nos retornos à educação entre a população tanto por gênero como por ano. Em geral os homens apresentam maiores retornos que as mulheres. Com o passar dos anos há uma forte evidência de queda do retorno à educação, sobretudo para os mais qualificados.

Authors: Cruz José Elenilson , De Souza Cleonice Borges
Published: May 2023

Transformações estruturais e tecnológicas se intensificaram no setor sucroalcooleiro brasileiro a partir dos anos 1990, gerando ganhos de eficiência e competitividade às empresas brasileiras deste segmento econômico. No entanto, devido a fatores culturais, a governança desse setor é mal coordenada e estruturada, e tem sido forte barreira ao desenvolvimento da governança corporativa. Tendo em vista que os escassos estudos sobre governança corporativa em empresas sucroalcooleiras no Brasil focaram em corporações de capital aberto, o objetivo deste estudo é avaliar o nível de desempenho de indústrias sucroalcooleiras de capital fechado, em Goiás, no que se refere a adoção de políticas transparentes de negócios e práticas de governança corporativa. Os dados foram coletados junto a doze empresas por meio de questionário estruturado segundo medidas da dimensão valores, transparência e governança dos indicadores Ethos de responsabilidade social empresarial. Os resultados mostram que duas empresas possuem desempenho superior e quatro apresentam desempenho inferior. Muitos são os temas que devem ser priorizados para adequação da gestão das empresas aos pressupostos da governança corporativa, especialmente os relativos aos indicadores balanço social, governança corporativa e relações com a concorrência.

Published: May 2023

Desde os anos de 1990, políticas públicas voltadas para a agricultura familiar têm sido executadas, em linha com uma agenda de desenvolvimento social e economicamente inclusivo e sustentável. Entre elas, destaca-se o Programa de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA), voltado para a comercialização institucional de alimentos produzidos por agricultores familiares, resultando em aumento da renda dos beneficiários, redução da fome, garantia de comercialização, dinamização do mercado local, valorização da cultura alimentar e redução da migração rural-urbana. Neste trabalho são analisados os principais resultados da implementação do PAA no Vale do Ribeira paulista, de 2010 a 2016, em termos da renda obtida, habitação, produção, segurança alimentar, grau de organização política e permanência dos agricultores no campo, além das dificuldades operacionais. Essa política assumiu importância estratégica para mitigar as condições de vulnerabilidade socioeconômica nessa região, tendo em vista os benefícios proporcionados aos agricultores familiares em várias dimensões.

Objetivou-se estudar a relação entre a Responsabilidade Social Corporativa (RSC) e o nível de Gerenciamento de Resultados (GR), sob a ótica da Teoria da Sinalização. A literatura aponta que os gestores podem apresentar a RSC de forma ética ou oportunista. Utilizou-se como amostra as empresas de capital aberto listadas na [B]3, não financeiras, entre o período de 2010 a 2018. Obteve-se o nível de GR pelo módulo dos resíduos (GRit) do modelo de Pae (2005), estimado por System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). Captou-se o nível de divulgação de RSC por meio da análise de conteúdo dos Relatórios de Sustentabilidade, Formulários de Referência e Notas Explicativas, analisando a presença de indicadores econômicos, ambientais e sociais, baseados em Callado (2010) e Murcia e Wuerges (2011). Identificou-se que a presença de maiores informações de cunho ambiental podem sinalizar possíveis manipulações nos lucros, servido como um alerta para os stakeholders.

Educating Global Green Consumers: The Role of Online Education and Brand Communication in Promoting Green Buying Behavior
Authors: Graça Sandra S. , Kharé Virginie P.
Published: May 2023

This study first examines the influence of educational factors on a consumer’s willingness to buy green products and on building a brand’s green image. Second, it explores the effects of environmental concern and perceived consumer effectiveness in mediating the relationships between educational factors and green buying behavior. Third, it takes a cross-country perspective by investigating green buying behavior under distinct cultural contexts (collectivism versus individualism). The hypothesized model was tested with data collected in the United States and Brazil and using structural equation modeling analysis. Findings reveal that sustainability education, whether initiated by the consumer or by the organization, contributes positively to promote a brand’s green image. Environmental concern and perceived consumer effectiveness both mediate the relationships between educational factors and green buying behavior. Lastly, the moderating effects of culture highlight the importance of environmental concern in a collectivist country and perceived consumer effectiveness in an individualist country.
