Authors: Armiñana García Rafael , Morales Suárez Lizandra , Padilla Gómez Annette , Quintero Delgado Onelio
Published: April 2024

Los metales pesados se hallan entre los contaminantes ambientales y su introducción en las aguas demuestran la presencia de fuentes antropogénicas. El objetivo de la investigación consistió en evaluar la exposición bioacumulativa a metales pesados en muestras de los músculos ventrales de Clarias gariepinus que habitan en el ecosistema dulceacuícola Bélico en la ciudad de Santa Clara, Villa Clara, Cuba. Para el desarrollo de la investigación se emplearon métodos de recopilación de la información y de procesamiento de la información recopilada, destacándose la entrevista a 10 personas que se dedican a la pesca de la Claria y la encuesta a 50 pobladores que consumen C gariepinus. La captura de los ejemplares se realizó mediante redes, con una luz de malla de 60 a 110 mm, y varas de pescar. Los muestreos se efectuaron en dos zonas del ecosistema dulceacuícola Bélico. La determinación de los metales se realizó por mezcla de digestión ácida, cuantificándose los elementos mediante Espectrometría de Emisión por Plasma Inductivamente Acoplado con Vista Axial (ICP-AES). Los metales pesados encontrados en C. gariepinus fueron: Co, Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Pb y Cd. Se concluye que el río Bélico, posee condiciones ambientales de exposición biodisponible para metales pesados.

Authors: Balan Hernández Regina Alejandra , Hernández Morales Guadalupe del Rosario
Published: April 2024

La tecnología ha transformado profundamente el funcionamiento de las burocracias en los entornos empresariales y gubernamentales, presentando tanto oportunidades como desafíos en términos de eficiencia y toma de decisiones. En la actualidad, las organizaciones burocráticas se enfrentan a una serie de desafíos en su intento de adaptarse a un entorno empresarial y gubernamental en constante evolución. En cuanto a los desafíos actuales que enfrenta la burocracia, se destacan la necesidad de adaptarse a entornos cambiantes y globalizados. Las organizaciones burocráticas deben ser flexibles y ágiles para enfrentar nuevos retos y aprovechar oportunidades emergentes. Esto implica estar preparados para gestionar crisis, responder rápidamente a cambios en las políticas y regulaciones, y adaptarse a la innovación tecnológica y a la demanda de mayor transparencia y participación ciudadana. En términos de eficiencia en la toma de decisiones, la burocracia se enfrenta al desafío de equilibrar la necesidad de una toma de decisiones rápida y eficiente con la garantía de una consideración adecuada de diferentes perspectivas y la prevención de errores o sesgos. Esta es una investigación de tipo bibliográfica, es decir es una investigación cualitativa, en donde se investigaron 5 fuentes bibliográficas de diferentes autores para cada una de las 3 preguntas referente a la teoría de la burocracia, para esto se realizaron investigaciones documentales en diferentes sistemas de información, como Google académico, SciELO, y redalyc.org los cuales han sido las principales fuentes de información acerca del tema.

«Da skal ingen lenger undervise sin neste ...»

Published: April 2024

En rabbi kaller til seg et lite barn. Barnet ser usikkert rundt seg idet hun går inn mellom rabbiens voksne elever, som ser uforstående på henne. Rabbiens alvor er ikke rettet mot barnet, men mot de voksne. Han sier de må vende om og bli som barn. Ellers kommer de ikke inn i Guds rike. Han sier også at den som gjør seg liten som dette barnet, er den største i Guds rike. En annen dag rabbien lærer elevene sine, kommer det unge mødre bærende på småbarna sine. De vil at rabbien skal velsigne barna, men elevene prøver å vise dem bort. Når rabbien ser det, blir han sint! Han sier at de små barna skal få komme til ham, for Guds rike tilhører slike som dem. Han tar de små barna inn til seg, legger hendene på dem og velsigner dem. Men til elevene sier han: «Sannelig, jeg sier dere: Den som ikke tar imot Guds rike slik som et lite barn, skal ikke komme inn i det.» (Etter Matt 18,1–3 og Mark 10,13–16)

ANALYSIS OF INDIRECT AND ASSOCIATIVE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT FROM THE EUROPEAN UNION LAW PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Kuzminac Mina S.
Published: April 2024

The paper deals with the issues of indirect and associative discrimination in the European Union law, with focus on the case law of the European Court of Justice, and the importance of the case law of this court for the sphere of employment. While prohibition of indirect discrimination was introduced in the European Union law a couple of decades ago, associative discrimination at the European Union level is, so far, addressed only by the European Court of Justice. In this regard, the concept of associative discrimination is still, to some extent, vague and subject to debate, while the dilemmas and risks in relation to this concept exponentially grow when reflected upon through lenses of indirect discrimination. The goal of the paper is to point out the importance, but also the risks of recognizing indirect associative discrimination in employment, all in the context of taking one step further in achieving substantive equality in the world of work.

Published: April 2024

In the present study, a gradient reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method has been designed and validated to quantify Ornidazole (OZ) in the marketed formulation (oral gel) with the application of QbD. The proposed HPLC method utilizes an RP C18 column (4.6 x 250 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase contained HPLC grade Solvent A (water) and Solvent B (acetonitrile) and ran at a flow rate of 1 mL/min in a gradient mode. The linearity was plotted in an OZ range of 1–12 μg/mL and the correlation coefficient was found to be 0.9998. The limit of quantification, as well as the limit of detection, has been recorded as 0.70 μg/mL and 0.23 μg/mL. Inter- and intra-day precision (RSD) percentages were reported respectively within a range of 0.262–0.589 and 0.179–0.879. At 80, 100, and 120 percent different OZ levels, the average accuracy was 99.55, 99.58, and 99.92, respectively. The result of the study indicates that the OZ gel estimate HPLC method has good sensitivity, reproducibility, accuracy, and precision. This method may be used for the estimation of OZ in a gel formulation in quality control laboratories.

Authors: Z. Metwaly Ahmed , lootah Hind , M. Albaz Maged
Published: April 2024

Supply chain management plays a pivotal role in the broader landscape of organizational resilience. In an era of globalization and interconnectivity, supply chains have grown increasingly complex. They extend across borders, involve multiple suppliers, and are susceptible to various risks and disruptions. Consequently, the effectiveness of supply chain management is crucial in building and maintaining an organization’s resilience (McKinsey, 2022). At the heart of this connection is the acknowledgment that a well-orchestrated supply chain can be both a source of competitive advantage and a safeguard against potential disruptions. Efficient supply chain management enables organizations to maintain uninterrupted operations, even when facing adverse conditions. This paper looks at the role of supply chain management in building supply chain resilience. The research studies previous literature, the current trends in supply chain management, and where we see the tides shifting in the future. Keywords: Supply chain management, organizational resilience.

Published: April 2024

The purpose of the research: This study aims to investigate the effect of joint audit on audit quality through the experience of the external auditor whether local or international. Data and materials and methodology: This study uses a random sample of 43 Yemeni legal auditors in Yemeni audit offices and firms. The questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection, and the data were analyzed using regression and path analysis using SPSS software. Results: The results show that joint audit has a positive and significant effect on the local external auditor’s experience, but not on the international external auditor’s experience. The results also show that the external auditor’s experience has a positive and significant effect on audit quality, but joint audit does not have a direct significant effect on audit quality. However, joint audit has an indirect significant effect on audit quality through the local external auditor’s experience, but not through the international external auditor’s experience. Main findings: The results of this study indicate that joint audit contributes to raising the level of quality and professionalism in audit reports and helps to develop the external auditors’ experience and improve their performance in report preparation. These results are consistent with some of the theories and previous studies that confirmed the role of joint audit in enhancing audit quality and external auditors’ experience. Kaywords: joint audit, international experience of external auditor, local experience of external auditor, audit quality.
Reflections upon boundary complexities in the clinical practice of Croatian and Polish music therapists
Authors: Katušić  Ana , Konieczna-Nowak Ludwika
Published: April 2024

Boundaries separate and limit the territories of individuals’ needs, feelings, behaviours and thoughts. In the context of therapy, boundaries might be considered a framework for the whole therapeutic process. The focus of this study was to determine how professional boundaries are understood by Polish and Croatian music therapists, and to identify whether there are any differences between these two groups. Twenty music therapists (ten Polish and ten Croatian) participated in the study. Data was gathered using a modified version of a questionnaire by Miller, Commons and Gutheil (2006), with open questions added. The results show differences between the two groups in the perception of behaviours that are regarded as both harmful and beneficial, such as using private spaces, sharing meals, offering gifts, using social media and specific language. Possible reasons regarding these results are discussed.
Music therapy in dementia and end-of-life care: A report from Israel
Authors: Dassa Ayelet
Published: April 2024

Music therapy was formalised in Israel in the early 1980s with the opening of academic training programmes, and has developed tremendously since then, with approximately 700 music therapists listed. While still fighting for legislative status as a profession, music therapists work with diverse populations in different settings. The latest national survey revealed therapists prefer to work with children or adolescents and are less enthusiastic about working with older adults (only 5.8%). This is a serious concern due to the growing numbers and needs of the elderly population in the country. There are approximately 150,000 people with dementia, and the need for non-pharmacological treatment highlights the importance of music and the demand for music therapists. In recent years, music therapy training programmes have placed more emphasis on working with the elderly than they did in the past. This change has occurred gradually due to increasing need in the field, more awareness of age-related conditions, and also due to the fact that more faculty members have expertise in these fields. Nowadays, more music therapists have started working with people with dementia, and more music therapy research students choose to focus on the topic in their work. The scope of palliative services provided in Israel has also been improved in recent years, but it is still limited. Considering the needs of the population, it is important to further develop the field of music therapy in the care of elders in Israel.

Published: April 2024

Although the use of music for therapeutic purposes has ancestral origins in Tunisia, music therapy is not yet formalised in Tunisia. In 2014 the National Association of Music Therapy in Tunisia, a non-profit association, was founded with the aim of promoting music therapy practice and research. Music therapy, as a discipline, is taught in Tunisia as a module at the Higher Institute of Specialised Education. It is intended for students and future specialised educators, as well as students seeking a professional Master’s degree in ‘Disability and Rehabilitation’, or a research Master’s degree in ‘Specialised Education’. Music therapy is used with children diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorders, children and adults with disabilities or intellectual deficits and also with elderly Alzheimer’s patients and oncological patients. This paper presents a report of the current situation of Music therapy in Tunisia and emerging initiatives in dementia and oncology.

‘Wriggles and rhymes’: Developing a parent and infant music therapy group at a hospice for children with life-limiting conditions and their carers
Authors: Mottram Helen , Rigney Maeve
Published: April 2024

Paediatric Palliative Care (PPC) is a relatively new and often misunderstood medical speciality. In contrast to adult palliative care, which has its foundations in oncology care, PPC focuses on enhancing quality of life for children and young people with life-limiting (LL) and life-threatening (LT) conditions. PPC embraces the whole family by offering care and support in the weeks, months or even years leading to a child’s death and beyond. PPC services are offered through various statutory services as well as voluntary organisations such as children’s hospices. In the UK, over 50 children’s hospices provide short breaks and respite care, including symptom management and therapeutic support, placing a strong focus on high-quality, family-centred care.

Music therapy has been a core family-centred holistic care service at Haven House Children’s Hospice since 2010. The service aims to address the unique and individual needs of the child as well as support the psychosocial and emotional needs of the family. This report highlights the development of the music therapy service within an expanding organisation over the past eight years and describes the introduction of a new parent-infant music therapy group, ‘Wriggles and Rhymes’. The rationale and perceived benefits of offering therapeutic group work in a children’s hospice are presented, with a focus on the ways in which the diverse needs of this clinical population were met within the sessions.
Endogenous Innovation and Export Performance in Firms
Authors: CARBONI Oliviero A. , MEDDA Giuseppe
Published: April 2024

We investigated whether export activity is correlated with innovation in a large sample of European companies. We explicitly considered five types of innovation: a) process innovation; b) product innovation; c) process and product innovation; d) product innovation new to the firm; and e) product innovation new to the market. We considered innovation as endogenous and determined by R&D through a process characterized by the regional technological environment. Our analysis enabled us to propose an integrated model incorporating R&D, innovation, and export in a scheme of simultaneous decisions which considers their mutual correlations.Econometric results showed that product and process innovation positively affect the export intensity of manufacturing firms in Europe. The results also indicated complementarity effects between process and product innovation. The average effect on export intensity from engaging in process innovation is larger than that found for product innovation, except in cases where the product is new to the market. When both types of innovation have been carried out, a larger effect results than that observed for product or process innovation alone. Furthermore, the average marginal effect on export intensity from innovation of any kind is highly positive and significant.

MaMD Analytical 1.0
Authors: Hefner Joseph T. , Ousley Stephen , Richardson Ron
Published: April 2024

We outline the functionalities and application of MaMD Analytical—a new, freely available software package for the estimation of population affinity using human cranial macromorphoscopic (MMS) traits. MaMD Analytical captures MMS scores using line drawings following the procedures outlined by Hefner and Linde (2018). MaMD Analytical generates classifications (with estimated likelihoods) into forensically significant populations using an artificial neural network and reference samples drawn from the Macromorphoscopic Databank (MaMD). Summary data (sensitivity, specificity, x-validated classification accuracies) are provided. In this article, we apply MaMD Analytical to a large sample of identified individuals not used in the original model building to assess utility and demonstrate the typical outputs for MaMD Analytical. MaMD Analytical facilitates construction of the biological profile and provides a number of safeguards in summary statistics as a valuable addition to the forensic anthropological analysis toolkit. MaMD Analytical is written in the open-source R environment integrating a previously developed artificial neural network model to estimate population affinity using well-documented and validated approaches.

Published: April 2024

Este estudo buscou analisar os valores organizacionais e os valores do trabalho na percepção de jovens aprendizes de duas regiões da cidade de São Paulo (SP, Brasil): uma no bairro Centro (região central) e outra no Sumaré (região leste/sul). Para o desenvolvimento deste estudo, foram coletados 766 questionários, especificamente 361 da primeira região e 405 na segunda, cujos dados foram submetidos a análise estatística uni e bivariada. Os resultados apontaram que os respondentes das duas localidades mostram certas semelhanças e distinções em termos dos valores comungados nos âmbitos organizacionais e do trabalho, com destaque para os maiores escores relacionados à Realização (em ambos os níveis de análise) e Estabilidade (no nível do Trabalho); por outro lado, os maiores escores de valores organizacionais indicam sua maior aproximação da organização onde trabalham do que das atividades que realizam. Além disso, 129 dos 132 testes de correlação efetuados mostraram-se significativos e positivos, concluindo-se que quanto mais o jovem responde positivamente para um valor, maior a tendência de se comportar do mesmo modo em relação aos demais. Diante dos achados, das limitações e das contribuições do estudo, sugeriu-se uma agenda de pesquisa.

AVALIAÇÃO DE DESEMPENHO E PRÁTICAS DE GESTÃO NO SETOR PORTUÁRIO:
Authors: Pedersini Daiana Rafaela , Ensslin Sandra Rolim
Published: April 2024

A utilização de práticas de gestão alinhadas à estratégia da organização tem o potencial de melhorar o desempenho organizacional. Contudo, o ambiente portuário tem dado ênfase ao aspecto operacional do setor. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é identificar as características da Avaliação de Desempenho e das Práticas de Gestão no Setor Portuário, sob uma perspectiva Construtivista. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, norteada pelo ProKnow-C. A análise dos artigos evidenciou que os estudos existentes se concentram em autoridades portuárias e terminais de contêineres, e a utilização de indicadores sociais e ambientais ainda é pouco explorada. É frequente a replicação de modelos sem considerar as características que tornam os portos singulares e que podem não ter sido abordadas pela literatura, evidenciando um desalinhamento da avaliação feita nos estudos com o conceito Construtivista de Avaliação de Desempenho adotado. Logo, o estudo contribuiu para a identificação de lacunas de pesquisa que direcionam os estudos para outros mercados portuários e o acompanhamento dos efeitos gerados pela Avaliação de Desempenho.

Authors: Aquino Magno Geraldo de
Published: April 2024

Este trabalho, de fundamentação qualitativa, objetiva analisar a autoformação do jovem trabalhador atendido na Associação Ensino Social Profissionalizante (ESPRO), através das atividades empreendidas pelo Programa Jovem Aprendiz. Para tanto, examinaram-se os modos como os jovens se organizam em torno da noção de jovem aprendiz, como um conhecimento que não existe em sua forma natural, senão como uma construção social e histórica. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, abordando questões relacionadas às singularidades do campo investigado e dos indivíduos pesquisados e análises das práticas discursivas na busca de desvelamentos de sentidos construídos pelos jovens entrevistados na formação de si. Para compreender como os sujeitos são constituídos recorreu-se a leituras de Foucault sobre subjetividade e tecnologias/práticas de si, argumentando-se que o jovem é formado como um sujeito pensante e atuante por meio dos modos de objetivação e subjetivação em torno do conceito de jovem aprendiz. O artigo contribui como fundamento empírico para reflexões teóricas, em que se analisam a importância do sujeito como elemento fundamental nas questões organizacionais envolvidas na constituição do sujeito ético.
CREATION OF MUNICIPALITIES, FISCAL ILLUSION AND CAPTURE EVIDENCE FROM BRAZILIAN MATOPIBA REGION
Authors: Salomão Benito
Published: April 2024

This article empirically evaluates the effects of the creation of new municipalities in the states of Maranhão, Tocantins, Piauí and Bahia (MATOPIBA) on the municipalities' budget in terms of revenues and expenses (social, economic and overhead). Estimations made using panel data for fixed effects using the differences-in-differences method between 1995 and 2011 produce relevant evidence. First, the dismemberment of new municipalities contributed to an increase in the size of governments on the tax side. On the expenditure side, there was a reduction in per capita social expenditure, indicating a possible fiscal illusion in these municipalities. There was also an increase in per capita overhead expenses, which may suggest a capture of public resources in these municipalities. The use of resources on the expenditure side can vary significantly depending on whether they are funded by own or transferred revenues, reinforcing the hypothesis of fiscal illusion in these local governments.

Competitive Intelligence is a quite regular topic in organizations that are willing to have a greater position on the market in general, as well as to be ahead of future trends and scenarios, and also to obtain a better assertiveness in processes that require making a decision. Organizations such as startups, known as highly scalable companies which have a forward-looking model of business with a low initial cost, are also constantly searching for a sustainable growth in the long run. The research aims towards identifying how mature is the level of Competitive Intelligence in Startups in the community of San Pedro Valley, headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Applying a Quantitative Method, a descriptive investigation was performed seeing a survey sent online directly to the managers. The bibliographic research allowed to maintain the intelligence cycle’s choice proposed by Mafra, Carvalho and Jordão (2016) in the analysis of each stage. According to the definitions of maturity by Rodrigues and Riccardi (2007) and Zuquetto and Beltrame (2012), a new proposal was developed to measure in a quantitative way the level of excellence of the organizations. From level one (informal) through level four (advanced), it was identified that the maturity of competitive intelligence in the related startups is situated between the level two (basic) and level three (intermediary). These results are expected and common if the context and the structure of these companies (which act with a sense of urgency, lean structure and flexibility) are taken into account.

Nowadays, voluminous data support may influence decision-making. People with varied profiles need to interact with data to gain valuable insights. There is a need for software tools to support the understanding and management of information to favor Human-Data Interaction (HDI) with a richer user experience. This study explores the combination of HDI design guidelines and participatory approaches to improve user experience in data interaction. We defined a design process to support the activities and adapted participatory practices to facilitate HDI design. We conducted workshops with inexperienced designers developing information visualization applications for common-sense domains. They generated and analyzed several application prototypes. Results suggest that design guidelines help generate HDI-based prototypes with a good user experience.
Technischer Fortschritt, das Pferd und der Tierschutz im Deutschland des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts
Authors: Schulz Michael K.
Published: April 2024

Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, wie sich technischer Fortschritt im frühen

20. Jahrhundert auf Nutztiere auswirkte und wie dies aus der Perspektive des Tierschutzes bewertet wurde. In der Betrachtung der Debatte über die Motorisierung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft wird ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Ersetzbarkeit der Pferde durch motorisierte Maschinen gerichtet. Es wird verdeutlicht, dass sich mit dieser Frage breite Schichten der Bevölkerung befassten, in denen schwerwiegende wirtschaftliche Nachteile als Folge des verringerten Gebrauchs von Pferden befürchtet wurden. Die Tierschützer erblickten in technischen Neuerungen ein Mittel, durch das den Pferden schwerste Arbeiten abgenommen werden konnte. Sie förderten etwa motorisierte Vorrichtungen für Baustellen und forderten deren vermehrten Einsatz. Eine Meinungsverschiedenheit gab es unter ihnen allerdings in der Frage, ob die Motoren die Zugtiere grundsätzlich ersetzen sollten. Die Pferdeschutzvereinigung über ganz Deutschland ging dabei von einer Fortexistenz des Pferdes an der Seite des Menschen auch in einer motorisierten Welt aus.

The subject of this doctoral thesis is the investigation of the meaning of "economic efficiency", in particular as a guiding principle, as a requirement for administrative action and as a procedural consideration in the process of decision making. By investigating the contours, characteristics and manifestations of the concept of economic efficiency in a structured manner, a comprehensive understanding of “economic efficiency” and its creative power in relation to administrative action and decision making is given. Thus, the thesis contributes in particular to the scientific understanding of the meaning of "economic efficiency" as a consideration relevant in the decision making process, using a concrete example of legal positivism.

Overtime work is a frequent phenomenon. However, it is compensated in only about half of all cases. The book shows that the legal foundations of the topic of overtime have not been clarified and that the current interpretation therefore leads to inappropriate results. It analyses the legal development and concisely elaborates on its shortcomings. The book covers in particular Section 612 (1) of the German Civil Code (BGB), which has so far been used as statutory basis to solve compensation claims. The analysis is completed by innovative solution proposals that integrate into the dogmatics of both labour law and law of obligations and open up new perspectives - including the possibility of a resolution on the basis of enrichment law.

The functions of similes with the words ‘as’ and ‘like’ in the novels "The Bluest Eye" and "Sula" by T. Morrison
Authors: Жарикова И.А.
Published: April 2024

в статье приведены дефиниции термина «сравнение», дано определение образного сравнения в английском языке, рассмотрена разница образных и безобразных сравнений, описаны функции образных сравнений в художественном произведении согласно классификации А.Е. Камышовой. Целью статьи является определение и анализ функций 197 образных сравнений в романах «Самые голубые глаза» и «Сула». Автор романов – афроамериканская писательница, Нобелевский лауреат Тони Моррисон. Задачи работы: распределить образные сравнения указанных произведений в соответствии с выбранной классификацией; проанализировать причины преобладания дескриптивной функции сравнений и малой распространенности сравнений с оценочно-характеристической функцией. Актуальность работы заключается в том, что анализ прагматического потенциала образных сравнений в романах Тони Моррисон ранее не проводился. Картина мира афроамериканцев не рассматривалась ранее через призму стилистических средств, используемых в творчестве данного автора. Проведенный анализ позволил сделать вывод о преобладающей изобразительно-описательной функции сравнений, при этом наиболее многочисленными являются сравнения антропологической и натурфактной сфер. Также посредством контекстуального анализа образных сравнений описаны отдельные аспекты афроамериканской картины мира, выявлены истоки сравнений в африканской мифологии и верованиях.

the article provides definitions of the term "comparison" and specifies the English term ‘simile’, examines the difference between comparisons and similes, describes the functions of similes in fiction according to the classification of A.E. Kamyshova. The purpose of the article is to identify and analyze the functions of 197 similes in the novels "The Bluest Eyes" and "Sula" by the African-American writer, Nobel Prize winner, Toni Morrison. The tasks of the work are: to distribute similes of the novels in accordance with the chosen classification; to analyze the reasons for the predominance of the descriptive function of similes and the low prevalence of similes of the evaluative-characteristic function. The topicality of the work lies in the fact that the analysis of the pragmatic potential of similes in Toni Morrison's novels has not been carried out before. The African-American worldview has not been considered through the prism of stylistic means used in the work of this author. The analysis made it possible to conclude that the descriptive function of similes is predominant and the most numerous are similes of anthropological and natural spheres. Also, certain aspects of the African-American worldview are described through contextual analysis of similes, the origins of some similes are found in African mythology and beliefs.
