Homens: Parte do Problema ou da Solução? Behaviorismo, Política e Masculinidades
Authors: Kuch Isabelle Elisandra ,   Universidade Federal do Paraná, Dittrich Alexandre ,   Universidade Federal do Paraná
Published: July 2024

A expansão de movimentos sociais voltados a questões de gênero impulsionou indagações concernentes à suposta naturalidade de comportamentos culturalmente atribuídos a homens e mulheres. Corroborando estes movimentos, estudos sobre masculinidades têm buscado elaborar explicações sobre a diversidade inerente à categoria “homem”. As diversas possibilidades de ser homem conferem pluralidade às masculinidades, entendidas como configurações de práticas que estabelecem entre si relações hierárquicas. Nesta hierarquia, a masculinidade hegemônica é dominante, representando o tipo de masculinidade socialmente mais admirado, sobretudo pelos homens, o qual, atualmente, contempla comportamentos rígidos e potencialmente danosos para homens e mulheres – porém sempre passíveis de transformação. Para que sejam efetivas, estas transformações demandam a elaboração de políticas de masculinidades comprometidas com a justiça social. Assim, objetivou-se discutir possíveis caminhos para a elaboração e fortalecimento de políticas de masculinidades direcionadas à justiça social em termos analítico-comportamentais, considerando que a Análise do Comportamento tem se mostrado cada vez mais alinhada com estudos socialmente relevantes. Por meio dos conceitos de planejamento cultural, autocontrole, controle ético, contracontrole e controle face a face, concluiu-se que os homens, ao exercerem papel significativo na produção e perpetuação de práticas de masculinidades nocivas, devem ser tratados não apenas como parte do problema, mas, sobretudo, como parte da solução.

Published: July 2024

This study employs multiphase simulations with OLGA software to investigate volume fractions of hydrate in an offshore gas system and develops machine-learning models to predict these fractions. Annually, substantial operating expenditures are allocated to hydrate prevention, with significant costs associated with inhibition (Wang et al., 2022). Hydrate formation along natural gas pipelines is recognized as a critical threat to the success of gas field operations. Despite the importance, no machine learning model has been validated for predicting volume fractions of hydrate in the Niger Delta study area, making this development crucial. Key findings indicate significant hydrate jamming risks in Niger Delta offshore flowlines and risers, with a peak volume fraction of 0.54, highlighting the need for proactive management strategies. Hydrate formation begins at 750 m where fluid temperatures fall below formation thresholds, with a sudden increase in volume at 2971 m, peaking at 3022 m before declining. Machine Learning model comparisons show Random Forest's superior accuracy (correlation coefficient of 0.9391, mean absolute error of 0.0271), while Linear Regression provides interpretable insights for future predictions. All models perform well, with Random Forest leading in accuracy. Regression analysis reveals relationships between volume fractions of hydrate and various parameters, guiding management strategies. The Random Forest and Linear Regression models are valuable for estimating hydrate volumes and enhancing management approaches in natural gas pipelines due to their accuracy and interpretability. These findings underscore the importance of proactive hydrate management in offshore gas systems and the potential of Machine Learning models to optimize these strategies.

Published: July 2024

In Uke River, Karu Local Government Area, Nasarawa State, Nigeria, a six-month research was carried out between January and June 2023 to examine the gills and intestinal helminth and protozoan parasites of White Catfish (Ameiurus catus). A total of 100 fresh Ameiurus catus fish samples of both sexes, were obtained from the fishermen and conveyed to the Zoology laboratory of Nasarawa State University for examination. The fishes were processed and examined using gills, oesophagus, intestine and rectum. Twenty-two (22) out of 100 fishes were found to be infected with helminth and protozoan parasites and a total of 31 parasites were isolated belonging to protozoa (Eimeria spp, Hexamita spp, Protoopalina spp), nematode (Procamallanus spp), trematode (Dactylogyrus spp), Cestode (Diphyllobothrium latum, Bothriocephalus claviceps) taxonomic groups. The findings indicated that Ameiurus catus intestine contained a greater quantity of fish parasites (96%). A nematode (Procamallanus spp.) was found to have the highest prevalence of 45.16%. Although the Chi square results showed no significant difference (p>0.05), the prevalence in Ameiurus catus was greater in female samples (63.64%) compared to male samples (36.36%). Fish weighing between 151-200 g (46.14%) and measuring between 21-30 cm (28.57%) had the highest percentage of parasite infection. Going forward, it is imperative to properly cook Ameiurus catus from the Uke River to prevent the spread of parasites to consumers. Additionally, it is advisable to steer clear of any potential actions that could contribute to the parasite predominance near the water body.

Published: July 2024

A more in-depth information system is often referred to as a sub-system, which is a more specific component of a larger system. Information systems have close relationships and interdependencies with other sub-systems, making them inseparable from one another. An information system is just one component of various existing sub-systems, managed as property by a specific institution, organization, or company. Previous research or relevant studies aim to strengthen theories or phenomena related to the influence among variables. This article is structured using a qualitative method sourced from previous research literature by experts. The review's findings reveal components influencing Management Information Systems, namely: Software, Database, and Human Resources (Brainware). The results of this literature review indicate that 1) Software has an impact on Management Information Systems; 2) Databases also influence Management Information Systems; and 3) Human Resources also affect Management Information Systems.
Secure Travel Planning Using a Heuristic Algorithm
Authors: Mahdi Ali Jamal , Esztergár-Kiss Domokos
Published: July 2024

Security perception in the urban area has a significant effect on travel behaviour, preferences, and tour planning. The perceptions of security risks can vary depending on factors, such as age, gender, and previous experiences. This study aims to consider security risks when developing travel plans and schedules for various activities. An improved heuristic algorithm, based on the Travelling Salesman Problem with security parameter and flexibility aspects, is proposed. Public transport is considered in three situations: fixed, flexible, and flexible-security situations. The outcomes demonstrate that the flexible situation significantly decreases travel times by 21% compared to the basic (fixed) situation. At the same time, with a slightly increased travel time the security risk can be avoided in the flexible-security situation. Travelers can enjoy a higher quality of travelling and enhanced personal experience by minimizing the journey duration and the impact of security risks on the tour schedule. The proposed method provides significant benefits for transport operators by increasing the efficiency of the transportation system and higher customer satisfaction.

Authors: Dmyshko Yaroslav ,   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lviv, Ukraine
Published: July 2024

A vital role in the effective management of banking institutions is played by internal audit as an essential element of the risk management system, which ensures timely detection and resolution of problems, increases transparency and trust in the banking system, and ensures its stability and sustainability. The article aims to reveal the main criteria for risk assessment in the areas of internal audit, which is carried out in the bank based on a risk-based approach, to identify the main problems and substantiate the theoretical aspects of integrating a risk-oriented approach into practice. The role of internal audit in risk management of banking activity was revealed. Arguments were presented regarding implementing a risk-based approach to internal audit planning in the bank. The article analyzes the audit planning procedures and systematizes risk assessment criteria in audit areas. To determine the priority of audit areas, evaluating each area according to the specified criteria and distributing them according to the degree of risk is necessary. This will allow effective planning of audits, directing resources to the most risky areas. The study results indicate that audit planning in Ukrainian banks should be based on a comprehensive assessment of risks, which will allow for the taking into account internal and external factors. As a result, banks can quickly respond to changes in the external and internal environment and effectively allocate resources. To implement this task, it is necessary to develop a detailed audit plan based on a comprehensive risk assessment, and it is necessary to include all key business processes and bank organizational units. Constant monitoring of risks will allow for quick changes to the audit plan in response to new threats or opportunities. The theoretical and practical principles of audit planning based on a risk-based approach, presented in the article, are the basis for building a banking risk assessment model.

Published: July 2024

The auditor uses the audit results of the local government financial reports to provide a professional statement in the form of an opinion and recommendations in the audit report. These opinions and recommendations are important for the local government's policy because they contain guidelines for its improvement. Purpose. This study examines the effect of audit findings (Internal Control System, non-compliance with regulations, and audit recommendation follow-up) on BPK's audit opinion using a case study of the Regional Governments in Kalimantan Zone. Methodology/approach. The logistic regression was used to determine the effect of audit findings and follow up on the BPK's opinion of audit results. This study uses secondary data (BPK Semester Examination Results Summary or IHPS) collected from 2018 to 2023. Findings. The results showed that audit findings (the internal control system and non-compliance with regulations findings) significantly negatively affected the BPK audit opinion on the financial statements in the Kalimantan region. In addition, the follow-up examination results significantly positively impact the BPK audit opinion on the financial statements in the Kalimantan region. The result was that the lower findings of the internal control system and non-compliance with regulations resulted in a better audit opinion of BPK. In addition, the higher the index follow-up on audit results, the better the acquisition of BPK audit opinion is generated. Originality/value. This study extends and contributes to the extant BPK audit opinion literature by providing new insight into how audit findings affect BPK's audit opinion in the Kalimantan zone settings. Practical implications. This finding implies that local governments must improve the implementation of internal control systems and compliance with regulations and consistently undertake BPK recommendations to increase the quality of financial reporting. The findings offer vital evidence to improve the quality of financial reporting in driving local governments' service quality. Limitations. This study only uses data from the Kalimantan region, so the generalization of the study results does not apply nationally and may cause bias in the method. To minimize bias, the next researcher can use a larger sample of data, not just one area.
To UBI or Not to UBI? Universal Basic Income Creating Value in Rural Areas of Romania
Authors: Ureche Alexandru ,   Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania
Published: July 2024

People below the poverty line need financial support to meet their basic needs. One type of support is Universal Basic Income (UBI), which is paid to all adults individually, without means-test or work requirement. This paper investigates the effectiveness of basic-income social policies in rural areas of Romania. The author has analyzed possibly the longest-running Universal Basic Income program created by a non-governmental organization. This social experiment has been running for more than fifteen years and counting. Once a thriving bulwark of socio-economic stability in the country, rural areas grapple for decades with the tsunami effect of ill-fated socio-economic reforms of the ’90s, which dragged the rural economy and its people into a vicious cycle of poverty. Constant economic migration, depopulation, lack of basic needs, and a generation of orphans – the byproduct of economic migration and lack of education – constitute the new dire reality of a once prosperous blend of small economies. Under these circumstances, providing unconditional guaranteed income, independent of any other revenue streams, seems a natural way to alleviate the effects of systemic, multidimensional poverty. With mostly non-existent government programs and a weak business sector, the responsibility for such targeted interventions rests on the shoulders of third-sector organizations. The study’s results prove that such programs’ impact and benefits far outweigh their monetary costs and the stigma associated with “social welfare” proposals. Reframing the concept of UBI allows for creating more perfect baselines, a better way of measuring the needs, and means to fulfil these needs more effectively. This, in turn, drives the creation of a more powerful (and meaningful) set of tools for assessing these needs to meet the demand adequately.

Today, the government of Ukraine and international and domestic experts estimate the damage from the war in the hundreds of billions of US dollars. However, this is usually a summary assessment data. Object-specific expert evaluation has a single application and requires the development of specific mechanisms for its implementation. The essential basis for this is international experience. Therefore, the article aims to study international reactions to economic challenges caused by war and the generalization of international approaches to the definition and procedures for compensation of losses to enterprises of victim countries caused by armed aggression. The study results confirm the expediency of partially applying the practices of Kuwait to create a corresponding mechanism in Ukraine. The primary basis for financing compensation commissions for the payment of reparations to Ukraine, in particular, confiscated Russian assets and deductions from the aggressor's exports, has been determined. The need to develop low-cost damage assessment methods due to the limited possibilities of professional assessment (limited personnel, financial and time resources) is substantiated. The need for creating a simplified mechanism for recording and assessing losses, which will be available for use by a wide range of specialists and separate sectoral methods of assessing losses (agricultural sector, transport, etc.), was highlighted. The shortcomings of the damage and loss assessment methodology chosen by the Government of Ukraine are substantiated, including the lack of an opportunity to determine and demand compensation for indirect damages (forgotten profit). The hypothesis about the need for revisions and additions in the domestic policy of assessing losses and compensations for the consequences of war, in particular, in terms of focusing on an expert approach in assessment and judicial and arbitration practice of compensations, the introduction of an accounting approach to assessing losses, has been proven.

Published: July 2024

Multiple factors have contributed to the burgeoning emphasis on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) within the Vietnamese banking sector. There is a burgeoning consciousness among consumers and stakeholders regarding the significance of sustainable and ethical business practices. With increasing social awareness, customers are progressively opting to support businesses that are dedicated to CSR. Moreover, regulatory entities in Vietnam have initiated measures to encourage CSR practices among banks. This study underscores the profound impact of CSR on the financial performance of the banking sector. The authors developed hypotheses to find out the determinants of the financial performance of Big 4 banks in Vietnam by collecting secondary data in the 2017-2022 period. To answer this question, the Person test, Pool OLS, FEM, REM and FGLS models were used, and then the Hausman test, Wald test and Wooldridge test were used to test the suitable model. The research showed that financial performance in the Big 4 banks in Vietnam (Vietcombank, BIDV, VietinBank, and Agribank) was negatively impacted by capital ratio and financial leverage and positively and significantly influenced by corporate social responsibility and overhead expenses. Thus, by integrating CSR initiatives into their business strategies, banks can enhance their reputation, attract socially conscious customers, and improve return on assets (ROA). Overhead expenses are another key factor significantly impacting a bank's ROA. The Big 4 banks should focus on optimizing their cost structure by identifying and eliminating inefficiencies in their operations. Implementing digitalization initiatives, streamlining processes, and investing in technology can reduce overhead expenses and improve operational efficiency. From these results, the paper gave recommendations for banks to improve their financial performance.

Published: July 2024

With the increased urbanization and industrial development, the environment is getting polluted severely day by day.  In Bangladesh, the capital city Dhaka is surrounded by a circular river system, most of which are highly polluted due to discharge of municipal and industrial untreated waste water that has been overloaded with different types of toxic heavy metals. Cr (VI) being used in various activities of industries and its improper treatment lead to contamination of the environment. This study aimed to isolate bacteria with chromium bioremediation potential from the environment. A total of 71 bacteria were isolated, of which all grew in the presence of 100 ppm, 93% in 200 ppm, 46% in 400 ppm, 6% in 600 and 4% in 1000 ppm chromium. Fourteen bacteria selected for chromium reduction by Diphenyl Carbazide Assay showed 23-89% reduction. Of these 14 isolates, 5 were tested for biosorption of chromium. Variable sorption of upto 69% was observed. The 16s rDNA of 6 candidate bacteria were sequenced. These isolates were identified as Kurthia gibsonii, Acinetobacter schindleri, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Exigubacterium sp., Rhodococcus sp., and Bacillus sp. The reduction potential was found to be highest for Bacillus species (78%) and lowest for Kurthia gibsonii (4.8%). This study has successfully identified six potential bacterial candidates for the bioremediation of chromium (VI). Further research into the mechanisms adopted by these bacteria and genetic manipulation will help to formulate a single or mixture of isolates that can efficiently remove hexavalent chromium from polluted water.

High Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) Levels Do Not Impact Live Delivered Pregnancy Rates (LDPR) Per Transfer or Retrieval
Authors: Neumann Brooke , Check Jerome H , Wilson Carrie
Published: July 2024

Background: Previous literature suggests high anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), specifically ≥ 5 ng/mL, has a negative effect on pregnancy rates following in vitro fertilization transfer (IVF-ET) [1]. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine if women with increased serum AMH levels (≥ 5ng/mL) have a lower live delivered pregnancy rate per transfer than women with serum AMH between 1 and 4.99, and to evaluate the confounding effect of advancing age. Furthermore, if this study does corroborate other studies suggesting lower pregnancy rates in an in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycle, the study would uniquely evaluate whether a lower live delivered pregnancy rate (LDPR) per transfer may be compensated related to more embryos i.e, frozen, thawed being transferred in subsequent cycles without undergoing another oocyte retrieval. Materials and Methods: Women undergoing IVF-ET between the years of 2015-2023 were stratified by serum AMH ranges. (> 1-2.99, ≥ 3-<4.99, ≥ 5-<7.99 and a subset ≥ 8ng/mL). They were also stratified by age (≥ 35, 36- 39, 40-44). LDPRs were recorded as seen in Table 1. LDPR was also calculated. The first frozen transfer would count as a woman’s first transfer cycle if a fresh embryo transfer could not be completed if there was concern about the risk of the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. Results: There were no significant differences in the LDPR per transfer or retrieval with higher serum AMH levels between any of the different age ranges or the subset of the age range of serum AMH ≥ 8 ng/mL. Conclusion: High serum AMH levels do not have a negative impact on pregnancy rates per retrieval nor transfer by the method used by our IVF center for controlled ovarian hyper stimulation.

Published: July 2024

Introduction and Importance: The TRAP sequence or cardiac mass is a serious pathology that occurs in monochorionic twin pregnancies, characterised by the absence of development of cardiac structures with a series of malformations in the transfused fetus, which is never viable, and numerous complications affecting the transfused twin.

Case Presentation: We report a case of TRAP sequence in a presumed pregnancy at 7 months.

Discussion: The TRAP sequence is an exceptional and specific complication of monochorionic twin pregnancies, affecting on average one birth in 35,000 and 1% of monozygotic pregnancies. The differential diagnosis includes in utero fetal death of a twin without anomalies, anencephaly associated with cystic hygroma and placental tumour. Management of the TRAP sequence in complicated twin pregnancies is aimed at the survival and compensation of the transfused fetus.

Conclusion: Analysis of this observation highlights the importance of prenatal diagnosis in the prevention of its consequences.

Pulau Semau sebagai salah satu daerah tujuan wisata yang berdaya saing di Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur, namun masyarakat di Pulau Semau cenderung pasif terhadap potensi pariwisata yang dimiliki, hal ini terlihat dari masih jarangnya masyarakat local yang terlibat dalam penyediaan jasa maupun produk untuk ditawarkan kepada pengunjung. Hal ini juga disebabkan karena karena lemahnya kemampuan pelaku usaha dari masyarakat lokal dalam mengelola dan mengembangkan produk dan jasa, baik dari sisi manajemen maupun kualitas produknya. Oleh karena itu, pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui pendampingan untuk pengembangan sektor pariwisata di Pulau Semau diharapkan dapat membantu peningkatan kapasitas masyarakat terutama sebagai aktor utama dalam pengelolaan potensi wisata di Pulau Semau. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilakukan dengan memberikan sosialisasi sadar wisata dengan tujuan meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat akan manfaat keterlibatan mereka dalam pengelolaan potensi wisata yang dimiliki oleh desa mereka. Kemudian diberikan sosialisasi dan praktik pengolahan produk wisata berbasis kearifan local, serta sosialisasi tentang marketing, packaging, dan labeling produk sebagai buah tangan bagi wisatawan.

Salvia submutica является одним из угрожаемых реликтовых видов шалфея Центральной Азии, локальным эндемиком Памиро-Алая. Несмотря на недавние новые находки этого вида, его ареал ограничен горным хребтом Нуратау. Популяции S. submutica находятся под воздействием неблагоприятных климатических факторов, их состояние может ухудшиться в условиях изменений климата. Цель настоящей работы – дать экологическую оценку ареала S. submutica, установить локалитеты с наилучшей комбинацией климатических показателей для выживания вида в условиях климатических изменений. Исследование представляет собой многолетний ряд мониторинговых наблюдений: они были начаты в 1990 г. и продолжаются до настоящего времени, то есть более 30 лет. Мы провели пространственный мониторинг экологической ситуации в 38 климатических и 30 геопространственных ячейках прогнозной модели по результатам моделирования ареала S. submutica. Модель сгенерирована в компьютерной программе MaxEnt с учетом 67 климатических переменных. Установлен мозаичный характер распространения малоблагоприятных, амбивалентных и умеренно благоприятных условий обитания в границах полного ареала данного вида. Впервые для оценки пространственных закономерностей распределения локаций с разными уровнями благоприятности экологической ситуации предложено разбиение массива значений на квартили. Установлено, что более 80 % локальных популяций данного эндемичного вида, произрастающих на участках с наиболее благоприятными условиями обитания, охраняются на территории Нуратинского природного заповедника. С учетом длительности периода наблюдений (33 года) можно считать, что выявлен основной ареал вида и обследованы наиболее крупные популяции растений. Самая крупная популяция включает менее 250 растений генеративного возраста, что, согласно критерию ограничения численности C, определяет статус изученного таксона как Endangered (EN) – находящийся под угрозой исчезновения, согласно критериям Красного списка МСОП, версия 3.1.

O estudo situa a contribuição de Lauren Brown (2021) para o ativismo e a crítica por meio das artes,dado que a artista atribui visibilidade às mulheres negras em suas ilustrações digitais de fantasia. Assim, o objetivo da análise é analisar as ilustrações digitais intituladas Octopus Mermaid, Sporecrown Queen, We are not prey e Tiefling. Para tanto, autoras de destaque no âmbito dos estudos feministas como bell hooks (2019) e Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2009) embasam as discussões teóricas apresentadas. Dentre as principais contribuições, o estudo enfatiza a importância de iniciativas criativas em favor da diversidade, combatendo estereótipos que se dão por meio de uma exclusão sistemática que viola o direito à existência em todo e qualquer espaço, quer real ou ficcional.
