Governança Corporativa no Âmbito da Administração Pública
Authors:   Diego Moreno da Rocha
Published: May 2022

A governança corporativa é o sistema pelo qual as empresas e demais organizações são dirigidas, monitoradas e incentivadas, envolvendo os relacionamentos entre sócios, conselho de administração, diretoria, órgãos de fiscalização e controle e demais partes interessadas. Se configurando num sistema de harmonização da sociedade, que inclui a gestão das relações internas das organizações com seus investidores. As boas práticas de governança corporativa vêm se ampliando de forma progressiva no Brasil, em especial na Administração Púbica, tendo em vista que pela Carta Magna o Estado brasileiro se configura num prestador de serviços, e desta forma tem a obrigação de fazê-lo com a devida qualidade para atender às necessidades dos cidadãos. A administração das instituições públicas tem utilizado mecanismos de governança atuar para atender ao interesse público e não aos seus próprios interesses ou de outrem. A legislação pública brasileira define os princípios que devem nortear o funcionamento de mecanismos de governança que potencializam a ação dos atores externos no sentido de avaliar, dirigir e monitorar a atuação da alta administração das instituições. Os tópicos a serem tratados neste estudo abrangem a origem e características da governança corporativa e da governança no setor público e o papel do TCU nesse sentido, como um órgão que contribui com normativas para orientar e induzir na melhoria das políticas governamentais.

Authors: A Ioannou Ioannis , Newton Richard , Clevenger Ben , A H de Beer David
Published: May 2022

Aim: To determine the prevalence of preoperative anemia in children presenting for surgery at our institution and to establish whether preoperative anemia increased the likelihood of perioperative transfusion.
Methods: A retrospective review of all noncardiac surgical patients over a 2-week period. Data were collected for demographics, type of surgery, hemoglobin concentration within 28 days of surgery, severity of anemia and whether a blood transfusion was administered within 28 days of surgery.
Results: 723 patients underwent non-cardiac surgery during the study period, of which 334 had a preoperative hemoglobin measurement, 116 of those were anemic. Blood transfusion was administered in 19.9% of all anemic patients, compared to 5.4% of non-anemic patients (odd ratio [OR] 4.383; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.10–9.53; p less than 0.0001). In anemic children over six months of age, 75.3% were of moderate severity, 22.6% were mild, and 2.1% severe, with transfusion rates being similar 23.6, 15.1, and 33.0%, respectively. The prevalence of anemia increased with ASA severity with blood transfusion occurring more often in anemic than non-anemic patients in all ASA grades. Anemic patients who underwent intermediate or major procedures were significantly more likely to be transfused than their non-anemic counterparts, with no significant difference seen for minor procedures.
Conclusion: Preoperative anemia is common in children presenting for surgery at our institution and in the majority of cases, this is of moderate severity. Preoperative anemia is associated with an increased likelihood of perioperative blood transfusion compared to patients with hemoglobin concentrations within the normal range.

Authors: Kimura Fuyo , Teraoka Saeko , Sato Eiichi , Miyahara Kana , Miyahara Kana , Nakamura Yukiko , Ishikawa Takashi
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Chemotherapy is the only systemic treatment option for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients, and is often used in combination with anthracycline and taxane. However, it was reported that many TNBCs show BRCA dysfunction, and are sensitive to DNA-damaging agents, but tend to be resistant to mitotic poisons, such as taxanes.

Case Series: Triple-negative breast cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy with anthracycline followed by taxane were analyzed. Clinical responses to taxane were evaluated by the percentage of shrinkage in tumor size after anthracycline treatment. BRCAness was analyzed by mutiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) in core-needle biopsy specimens of 7 patients with progressive disease or stable disease after taxane treatment. BRCAness scores of the 7 patients were between 0.779 and 1.000 (0.939 ± 0.084), and all were categorized as having BRCAness.

Conclusion: Patients resistant to taxane were categorized as having BRCAness by MLPA. Mutiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification may hence be a promising method to identify TNBC patients with taxane resistance.

Authors: Rathee Neeru , Kumari Praveen
Published: May 2022

Parent-child Relationship is an amalgamation of emotions, beliefs and practices followed by parents to nurture the psychological, physical and social development of the child. All these elements blend in unique ways for each parent and child to create improbable multiplicity in the qualities of these relationships. Parent-child relationship is an exceptional source to determine the personality and psycho-social development of children. It also affects academic achievement of the child in diverse ways. The rationale behind the study is to evaluate the relationship between academic achievement and parent child relationship of students. Researcher employed survey method to conduct the study. “Parent child relationship scale (PCRS-RN) developed by Nalini Rao (2016)” was used to collect data from 300 students of secondary school selected by following random sampling approach. Analysis of data was done by using statistical techniques, t-test and product moment correlation. The results of study showed that students having favourable and unfavourable parent-child relationship differ significantly in the academic achievement. It was observed that female secondary school students have more cordial relationship with their parents than male students. A significant positive correlation was observed between parent-child relationship and academic achievement of secondary school students.
efficacy of forensic technology in crime investigation and administration of justice
Authors: Rokade Sangita Padmakar , Shrivastava Geeta
Published: May 2022

There have been significant advances in the forensic sciences (Narco analysis DNA mapping, polygraph, brain mapping, and new scientific instrumentation) over the last twenty-five years. However, more research is required to determine the contribution of these developments to the importance and purpose of scientific evidence in criminal case processing and prosecution. New forensic technologies have been examined in targeted research, but no studies have assessed the whole variety of scientific evidence that is available at crime scenes and its successful investigation and administration of justice. The legal system and law enforcement agencies alike are increasingly turning to forensic science for help in investigating crimes and securing convictions. However, in the Indian judiciary setting, the utility of forensic science has yet to be demonstrated in terms of the labor required and the outcomes of cases. Research in this field has tended to concentrate more on science and technology than on how individuals might effectively use forensic services/science to achieve acceptable justice results. The findings given are the result of a thorough investigation by the researcher. This document includes an overview of the research project's rationale and goals, as well as an explanation of the present state of the project's work.

Based on this, it is suggested to establish and improve relevant systems, implement supporting policies and strengthen the support of agricultural science and technology, improve the efficiency of agricultural investment, reasonably plan funds, and promote the development of agricultural industrialization and modernization, narrow the development gap between regions, improve agricultural quality and efficiency, and pay attention to regional coordinated development.
Introducing Cognitive Psychology in Film Studies: Redefining Affordance
Authors: Luan Lingfei , Liu Wei , Zhang Rui , Hu Shu
Published: May 2022

This paper investigates how interdisciplinary research impacts the film industry in research and practice by introducing psychological concepts. Psychology, especially neural and cognitive science, provides a distinct advantage when examining humans’ audio-visual processing mechanisms and esthetics questions regarding the film. By introducing psychology, film researchers and filmmakers could rethink and evaluate the current research paradigm from a broader point of view. This paper consists of three parts: (1) a discussion on the nature of film using an interdisciplinary approach; (2) a discussion on the characteristics and attributes of film; (3) an introduction of the psychological concept of “affordance” to film studies and practice. Although the film interdisciplinary research paradigm is still under development, we argue that introducing the other subjects is innovating the field of film research, providing us with a new angle to examine the intersections of ubiquitous but complex human esthetics activities.

This study is based on conducting surveys and multicriteria decision methods to determine the main factors influencing youth violence in Ecuador. To do this, a sample made up of young perpetrators of various types of crimes and other agents involved in the process in the city of Guayaquil is analyzed. The analysis carried out is based on the use of the DEMATEL method in its neutrosophic version so that the indeterminacies of the real world can be handled. The result obtained reveals that the factors with the highest incidence in youth violence in the analyzed sample are substance abuse or delinquency by parents, poor surveillance and supervision of children by parents, poor disciplinary practices, and emotional deficiencies of the parents, as well as exposure to domestic violence. It is recommended that prevention actions to minimize the proliferation of youth violence focus on these aspects for greater optimization of the results.
Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Fire Outbreaks in Markets of Kano Metropolis, Kano State, Nigeria
Authors: Yunus Sulaiman
Published: May 2022

Recurrent fire outbreaks in marketplaces have been a major threat to commercial activities within the Kano metropolis. This necessitated the need to examine the Spatio-temporal pattern of the outbreaks in relation to the nature and importance of the markets with a view to mitigating its consequences for sustainable commercial development. Fire incidence records (1974-2017) comprising of incidence dates, time, year, location, causes and consequences were obtained from the Kano State Fire Service Department. Electronic and GPS surveying was conducted to determine the absolute locations for spatial and temporal analyses. The result from the spatial analysis indicated a clustered pattern of fire outbreaks within the major markets with a Nearest Neighbor Ratio of 0.179. Temporally, there were more fire incidence recurrence (about 20.9%) and property damage between 2007and 2017, thereby making it the most devastating period of market fire outbreaks in Kano. Based on the nature of markets, the overall result depicted that mixed markets and single commodity markets experienced 76.5% and 23.5% fire incidence respectively. This was attributed to the extent of commercial activities, the use of electricity, and the flammability of the products. The study thus recommends fire safety education and fire prevention practices throughout the markets for risk reduction and sustainable economic development.

Les incendies récurrents sur les marchés ont constitué une menace majeure pour les activités commerciales dans la métropole de Kano. Cela a nécessité la nécessité d'examiner le schéma spatio-temporel des incendies en relation avec la nature et l'importance des marchés en vue d'atténuer ses conséquences sur le développement commercial durable. Les dossiers des incendies (1974-2017) y compris les dates, l'heure, l'année, le lieu, les causes et les conséquences des incendies ont été obtenus auprès du service d'incendie de l'État de Kano. Des levés électroniques et GPS ont été effectués pour déterminer les emplacements absolus pour les analyses spatiales et temporelles. Le résultat de l'analyse spatiale a indiqué un modèle groupé d'incendies dans les principaux marchés avec une proportion de voisin le plus proche de 0,179. Temporellement, il y a eu plus de récurrence d'incendie (environ 20,9%) et de dommages matériels entre 2007 et 2017, ce qui fait de cette période, la plus dévastatrice d'incendies de marché à Kano. Sur la base de la nature des marchés, le résultat global a montré que les marchés à produits mixtes et le marché a produit unique ont connu respectivement 76,5% et 23,5% des incendies. Cela a été attribué à l'étendue des activités commerciales, à l'utilisation de l'électricité et à l'inflammabilité des produits. L'étude recommande ainsi une éducation à la sécurité incendie et des pratiques de prévention des incendies sur l'ensemble des marchés pour la réduction des risques et le développement économique durable.

Authors: PARTHASARATHY K. , VEERARAGHAVAN K. , PRAKASH VED
Published: May 2022

From the analysis of rainfall distribution of a number of storms in different parts of India, the area-intensity relationship of storm rainfall has been derived as y = 100-CÖA where y is the percentage ratio of the rainfall over an area A surrounding the storm centre to the maximum rainfall at centre of storm and C is a constant varying with geographical location, but within narrow limits. A possible use of this relation in the rainfall intensity frequency computations for local drainage designs is suggested.

Preliminary studies on crop-weather relationships - Cotton
Authors: MALLIK A. K. , JAGANNATHAN P. , RAMRAO G. , BANERJEE J. R.
Published: May 2022

Under the All India Crop-Weather Scheme —Cotton, quantitative observations, on a uniform basis, are being recorded at a network of selected experimental farms in India, regarding the growth and yield and the incidence of diseases and pests of cotton crop, side by side with the weather factors experienced by the crop during its life-cycle. The object of the scheme is to formulate, in quantitative terms, the effects of the different weather factors on the growth and yield and the incidence of diseases and pests of the cotton crop. However, a study of the data using standard statistical techniques can be undertaken only after these have been collected for a sufficiently long period, i.e., 25 to 30 years. Meanwhile, a tentative study of the data collected up to the year 1955-56 was made, to obtain indications, though of a strictly tentative nature, of crop-weather relationships pertaining to the cotton crop. An account of these studies was included in the Report of the Co-ordinated Crop-Weather Scheme relating to Cotton, for the year 1956-57, by the Director, Agriculture Meteorology, Poona. It is considered that the results obtained are of sufficient general interest to the scientific public and hence these are described in this paper.

Inversion of velocity models using genetic algorithm method with sigmoidal parameterization
Authors: Azevedo Juarez dos Santos , Palma Lucas Farias
Published: May 2022

A seismic traveltime inversion method is proposed for building smooth velocity models using traveltime observed on irregular surface. Model parameterization in this study is described by a piecewise constant velocity field on a rectangular grid parameterized by sigmodal functions, which is beneficial for the description of irregular surface with high degree of approximation. The velocity field is defined in the rectangular grid which is used for the description of velocity distribution everywhere in the model sigmoidal interpolation. In addition, we use the simple Genetic Algorithm for the inversion procedure. Through this global scope inversion method, we provide high-resolution estimates of the model parameter and ensure that the results obtained are in accordance with the actual data. Our method is validated with synthetic examples of heterogeneous isotropic media and compared to Simulating Annealing. The inverted velocity models and approximate ray paths obtained coincide well with the trajectories simulated using the seismic ray tracing in synthetic heterogeneous isotropic media.
Modified sol-gel synthesis of lithium ternary oxide
Authors: Guaita Maria Gabriella Detone , Dall’Antonia Luiz Henrique , Silva Paulo Rogério Catarini da , Urbano Alexandre
Published: May 2022

Lithium-ion batteries currently equip portable electronic devices, such as smartphones and laptops, and are the choice to power electric vehicles. The scarcity of raw materials in nature, however, has required the development of new technologies and the ternary lithium compound LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 has stood out as an alternative for replacing part of the cobalt in LiCoO2 by nickel and manganese, which are more abundant, reducing the electrode’s cost. The sol-gel route for synthesis of ternary electrode materials has been widely used, but it faces problems of volumetric expansion due to the decomposition of organic material during calcination. To improve the synthesis of the ternary compound, a modified sol-gel route with control of the heating kinetics in the pre-calcination step and without pH control was investigated in this study. The compound was analyzed by X-ray diffraction, Rietveld refinement, Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy, and Raman that showed the purification of the ternary phase with appropriate crystallinity for application as electrode in batteries from 700 ºC. In conclusion, ternary synthesis with rate control during heat treatment may be a useful alternative for industrial scale-up production.

Authors:   Bataan Peninsula State University City of Balanga, Bataan 2100 Philippines, B. Quintos Sherrilyn
Published: May 2022

Anxiety and motivation are indispensable aspects of learning a foreign language (FL). To some extent, students' motivation for Korean language learning can influence their learning outcomes. This quantitative study aimed to look into the relationship between foreign language anxiety and the learning motivation of Filipino students. Through stratified random sampling, 633 college students from Bataan Peninsula State University-Main Campus studying a foreign language (Korean) served as the sample for this study. The sample comprised 58% male and 42% female, mostly belonged at ages 19-24. Data gathered was analyzed using SPSS version 21. Correlation analysis between FL learning anxiety and motivation was implemented. More so, an independent sample T-test and an ANOVA (Tukey-HSD as post hoc) were applied to evaluate FL anxiety and learning motivation differences. The results demonstrated a low-tomoderate significant relationship between language anxiety and learning motivation. Furthermore, there are differences in learning motivation based on sex rather than age. On the other hand, age has no bearing on the two factors in the examination. In conclusion, FL anxiety hinders language acquisition yet students have a positive and motivated outlook toward learning

This paper is devoted to performance of adsorptive heat energy converters for heat supply systems. The following calculation procedure of operating characteristics of an adsorption heat energy storage device for a decentralized space heating system is suggested: calculation of the mass transfer coefficient, adsorption amount, useful heat of adsorption, determination of the heat input, it being calculated as heat inputs for heating the adsorbent, device housing, water in the tank, evaporation of water in the tank, heating of the adsorbed water and desorption. Then coefficient of efficiency is calculated. The optimal operating conditions of the heat accumulating device which allow to operate with maximal efficiency coefficients 53 – 57 % are stated to be vapor-air flow rate 0.6 - 0.8 m/s and relative humidity of 40 – 60 %. Correlation between efficiency coefficients deduced from experiments and calculated with suggested algorithm is confirmed by the results of field trials.

Computer programs allowing determining accuracy of building design in advance, or its parts, from the thermal engineering point of view are on the rise. Finding the most suitable project design for optimizing future energy performance of building significantly contributes to implementation of European Directive on Energy performance of buildings 2010/31/EU in Slovakia. Using simulation software, DesignBulder in this case, became a very useful tool on the road to energy effective design. In this paper, we have placed a virtual family house (which will be built in Kosice, Slovakia) to the simulation software DesignBuilder and were finding out the most suitable design in case of future heating demand. Family house was designed taking in account architectural, environmental and constructional requirements of today´s directives focusing on energy performance and energy efficiency. Results of this project are displayed in numbers as well as in graphic figures. Our goal was to find out the difference between two different types of envelope wall insulation.
