Onde há fumaça, há fogo: delírio, imovência e hiperinclusão em conspirações na web
Authors: Vieira Pereira Israel
Published: March 2024

Neste artigo, escrito sob a perspectiva teórica da análise de discurso pecheutiana (Orlandi, 2013, 2017), buscamos analisar teorias da conspiração a partir de seu funcionamento online entre sujeitos. Mobilizamos o conceito de estilo paranoico de fazer política proposto por Hofstadter (1964) para embasar a discussão sobre teorias conspiratórias. Na sequência, estabelecemos uma relação entre a paranoia conspiracionista e o funcionamento do delírio como pensado por Freud (2020) e Remo Bodei (2003). Delírio, conspirações e web são então ligados pelo conceito de hiperinclusão proposto por Bodei (2003), interpretado discursivamente neste trabalho enquanto marca de uma imovência de sentidos. Trata-se de um nível extremo de saturação, que, por sua vez, intensifica no sujeito a ilusão de individualidade, de autonomia e de literalidade. Concluímos, após análise de corpus sobre incêndios em 2019, que a web pode fomentar teorias conspiratórias ao incentivar a hiperinclusão no sujeito, prejudicando o debate público de ideias.
Breve análise do signo negro(a) no conto “Maria”, de Conceição Evaristo, à luz da semiologia saussuriana
Authors: Bezerra Filho Feliciano José , Brito Oliveira Maxswell
Published: March 2024

A língua, enquanto componente de linguagem, é parte integrante da estrutura social humana. Em decorrência disso, a língua cria e reproduz traços de desigualdade pautados em sua formação histórica e nas relações de poder a que é submetida. No Brasil, a Língua Portuguesa possui palavras e expressões que contêm o que chamamos de semântica racista, como é o caso do signo negro. Pretende-se, portanto, promover uma breve análise do signo negro utilizando o conto Maria, de Conceição Evaristo, com base nos estudos produzidos por Ferdinand de Saussure (2006) acerca da semiologia, além de outros conceitos desenvolvidos por Gabriel Nascimento (2019), Frantz Fanon (2020), João Teixeira Carvalho Netto (1983), entre outros, a fim de demonstrar como o signo, apesar de sua formação, pode sofrer alteração em seu significado, posicionando a Semiótica como ferramenta ao combate do racismo estrutural.
Quarrelsome Siblings – The Relationship Between Special Operations and Conventional Forces
Authors: Gielas Anna M.
Published: March 2024

The relationship between U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) and Conventional Forces (CF) has historically been challenging, leading to mission failures and the loss of lives. An unprecedented integration of the two forces was seen following 9/11 during Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. This article investigates whether this intimate collaboration in Afghanistan and Iraq improved relations between SOF and CF. Drawing from a sample of 48 master’s theses authored by U.S. officers on the topic of SOF–CF integration from 1994 to 2018, this article documents a deterioration in the relationship between the two forces and identifies four underlying causes. It suggests how military leaders and decisionmakers should approach this challenging inter-force relationship.
Responding to Fait Accompli: Lessons from Crimea
Authors: Ngo Lan Di
Published: March 2024

This article focuses on the nuanced decision-making process of Ukrainian leaders in the wake of Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea. Utilizing primary sources, including transcripts of Ukraine's cabinet meeting, it seeks to explain why Kiev refrained from employing coercive means to immediately retake Crimea following the
fait accompli. The analysis reveals that decisions in such scenarios are typically influenced by a complex interplay of perceived territorial value and the strategic advantages of restraint. It also argues that fait accompli strategies can be strikingly effective when carried out with agility and minimal force, as demonstrated by Russia in Crimea. The findings offer a multifaceted understanding of the variables that shape state responses to territorial aggression, contributing to the broader discourse on territorial conflicts and deterrence.
Bukele’s Formula for Terrorism
Authors: Chavez Rodriguez Yovani E
Published: March 2024

The Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and the Mara Barrio 18 (18thStreet Gang) are two of the most notorious Maras. Their army-sized membership and extraordinary levels of brutality once led them to commit more murders than the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Boko Haram, and Al Qaeda. Currently, their activities have expanded to the United States, Latin America, Europe, and Africa. While they are undoubtedly terrorist organizations, Bukele’s formula has proven effective in combating them. Nonetheless, Bukele’s government needs to implement measures to effectively counteract terrorism without affecting the rule of law, transparency, and the respect of human rights.

adolescents, potentially leading to an increase in refractive errors (RE) and consequently, possible postural alterations. Objectives: To identify postural alterations in adolescents with refractive errors; investigate the relationship between screen time, physical activity (PA), and lifestyle with RE and posture; and compare postural differences between genders and levels of PA. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional correlational study was conducted. Twelve adolescents aged 12 to 18 of both genders participated, undergoing postural evaluation using the SAPO protocol. Descriptive analysis was performed for sample characterization. The t’student test was employed to compare postural alterations between genders and PA levels, and the Spearman correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship between screen time, PA, lifestyle, RE, and postural alterations. Results: Postural alterations were identified in different RE. Gender differences were observed only in the Q angle of the knee (females exhibited more pronounced valgus), and significant correlations were found between the horizontal alignment of the head and screen time for other devices, except the mobile phone. Conclusion: Postural alterations were identified in the head, elevation of the acromion, pelvic elevation and anteversion, trunk inclination, and knee misalignment in individuals with RE. Valgus of the knees was more prevalent in females, and a relationship was observed between the horizontal misalignment of the head and screen time.

Conveying the Meaning through Experiential Metafunction on Song Lyrics: A Case on Ideational Metafunction
Authors: Sinaga Yanti Kristina , Murni Situmorang Natalia , Purba Elprinawati , Sitompul Heppy Theresia , Panjaitan Anita , Herman Herman , Thao Nguyen Van
Published: March 2024

This research explores the song "Better Man" by Westlife to uncover its experiential meaning and how it impacts the audience. Using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework, the study analyzes the song's meaning by examining the processes, participants, and circumstances in the lyrics. Qualitative content analysis is employed to identify various emotional experiences expressed through language. The study involves deconstructing each sentence to understand how participants, processes, and circumstances are used in the song. The primary data source is the authentic lyrics from reliable sources like official songbooks and verified lyric websites to ensure accuracy. The SFL theory helps examine experiential meta function and its components in the lyrics, considering the entire complexity of language in social contexts. The analysis reveals that "Better Man" predominantly employs mental processes, reflecting the singer's personal thoughts and perspectives. The use of verbs like "love," "say," and "hidden" effectively conveys emotions and interactions between individuals. The song's participants, such as "better man" and "her," create emotional connections with listeners. The findings emphasize the importance of language as an expressive tool in art and music, guiding songwriters in effectively communicating deeper messages and meanings. Song lyrics, with their emotional storytelling, establish powerful connections with the audience. While this study offers valuable insights into "Better Man," there is potential for further research. Analyzing more songs and genres can deepen the understanding of how language conveys experiences and emotions in music's broader context.

Neuro-ophthalmic features of patients with spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid leaks
Authors: Do Timothy , Wang Jui-Kai , Steele Toby , Strong E. Bradley , Shahlaie Kiarash , Liu Yin Allison
Published: March 2024

Background: Increased intracranial pressure is a potential cause of spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (sCSF) leak. Associated neuro-ophthalmic features have not been well studied, particularly relationships with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). We hypothesized that neuro-ophthalmic features routinely used in evaluations for IIH can be useful in the investigation of a causal relationship between IIH and sCSF leak. We reviewed the neuro-ophthalmic examination and office-based ophthalmic imaging data of all consecutive patients with sCSF leaks and at least one repair to investigate the clinical and neuro-ophthalmic features of increased intracranial pressure.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective longitudinal study at a single institution by querying the electronic medical record system for CSF leak Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes (G96.00 and G96.01) from June 1, 2019, to July 31, 2022. For patients with a confirmed diagnosis of sCSF leak, demographic information, eye examination results, and ophthalmic imaging details for both eyes were collected.

Results: A total of 189 patients with CSF leaks were identified through CPT coding; 159 had iatrogenic or traumatic CSF leaks, and 30 individuals (3 male, 27 female) had confirmed sCSF leaks. The mean age of patients with sCSF leaks was 46 years (range: 29 – 81), with a mean body mass index of 35.2 kg/m2 (range: 18.2 – 54.1). Only 11 of 30 underwent eye examinations (8 before surgical repair and 10 after). The mean pre-repair and post-repair best-corrected visual acuity were 20/30 (range: 20/20 – 20/55) and 20/25 (range: 20/20 – 20/40), respectively (P = 0.188). The mean retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was 99 mm (range: 96 – 104) pre-repair and 97 mm (range: 84 – 103) post-repair (P = 0.195). The mean ganglion cell complex thickness was 84 mm (range: 72 – 94) pre-repair and 82 mm (range: 71 – 94) post-repair (P = 0.500). Humphrey visual field average mean deviation was -5.1 (range: -12.4 – -1.8) pre-repair and -1.0 (range: -10.1 – 2.1) post-repair (P = 0.063).

Conclusions: Serial neuro-ophthalmic examinations are recommended for patients with sCSF leaks to screen for signs of current or prior increased intracranial pressure. Larger studies are required to clarify the longitudinal changes in neuro-ophthalmic features, to investigate the incidence of IIH in cases of sCSF leak development or recurrence after surgical repair, and to explore potential causal relationships to guide post-repair management and prevent recurrent leaks. A multicenter consortium is also suggested to develop a standard clinical protocol for comprehensive management of sCSF leaks.

The role of the corporate branding on the customer retention at the selected developmental bank in KwaZulu-Natal
Authors:   , Mthethwa Praise-God S’Bongiseni
Published: March 2024

The study's goal was to look into the role of corporate branding on customer retention at a selected development Bank of KwaZulu-Natal in the greater Durban area. The study focused on determining the increasing tendency of respondents to migrate to other banks. The quantitative research design was used. Respondents included clients that were account holders at the selected bank branches in KwaZulu-Natal. The most appropriate technique was a personadministered survey. A total of 400 structured questionnaires were administered. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The influence of corporate branding on client retention at the bank was investigated using a confirmatory factor analysis model. Customer retention is influenced by cultural values and family ties, according to the CFA analysis. According to the findings, respondents have a positive relationship with their bank and give high ratings to its services. Regarding inferential statistics, it was discovered that there is a significant price agreement among IThala SOC Ltd products. The ANOVA test shows that the respondents' decision-making differs only by their age group. Furthermore, there is widespread agreement among bank employees about the importance of teamwork and the Ubuntu spirit, and another area of focus was determining whether there were any service quality issues that could contribute to customers' negative perceptions of the bank. As a result, further research into the quality of service and its impact on clients at IThala SOC Ltd is recommended. Some clients expressed a desire to elaborate on the quality of service they received.
Gender-based violence among high school youth in the Umlazi District, Durban
Authors:   , Dlungwane Angel Duduzile
Published: March 2024

Violence in schools is on the rise in South Africa, and its impact on students is becoming increasingly clear. Of particular, gender-based violence is a challenge in many South African schools. Whilst most studies frequently focus only on the victims' experiences, this study explored the effects of gender-based violence on victims as well as the perpetrators. The aim of this study was to explore gender-based violence amongst high school youth at Vuma High School and Phakama High School situated in the township of Umlazi, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. This study investigated the nature, causes and effects of gender- based violence at these chosen schools. The theoretical foundation of this study is based on a socio-constructivist approach, which underpins the study's methodological design and is informed by the perspectives of many researchers on gender violence among school-going learners. Twenty-four learners and twenty educators were purposively selected from two Durban-based high schools in the Umlazi district. The twenty-four learners interviewed were identified from educator’s observation of conflict situations at the school, in the classroom and the playground, particularly between male and female learners. The educators identified those learners who diffused the conflict peacefully and those that fostered violent reactions. The learners chosen were from the FET phase (15-18 years of age). The twenty most senior educators formed the sample of educators for this study. Seniority was determined according to the number of years teaching experience. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with both the learners and educators. Three focus groups interviews for learners as well as for educators were also conducted in each of the chosen schools. Participation in this study was voluntary with confidentiality maintained. The data was recorded and transcribed to ensure credibility. The results were interpreted and analysed against existing literature using thematic content analysis. The findings of this study revealed that gender-based violence was implicitly and explicitly enacted. The implicit violence took the form of having fun and joking at the expense of the girl learners. On the other hand, explicit violence took the form of interpersonal violence and sexual abuse. Significantly, it emerged that the main causes of gendered violent behaviour were associated with the boy learners’ construction of masculinity as well as the gendered practices within the school environment. This study recommends an integrated comprehensive approach of all stakeholders in the form of educational intervention programmes towards resolving school genderbased violence.

Cross-Border Shopping of Czech Citizens Before, During, And After Covid Pandemic: A Quantitative Research
Authors: MARTINCIK David , MARTINCIKOVA SOJKOVA Olga
Published: March 2024

This paper delves into an examination of the determinants influencing cross-border shopping behavior among citizens of the Czech Republic. Specifically, the study scrutinizes the dynamic shifts in these determinants across three distinct temporal phases: pre-COVID, during the pandemic, and post-COVID. Employing a consistent methodology, we administered three identical questionnaires to gather comprehensive data during these periods. Throughout the investigation, it became apparent that the Czech Republic experienced a surge in inflation compared to its neighboring nations during the final period under consideration. The proportion of families engaging in cross-border shopping reached its nadir during the COVID period and attained its zenith in the aftermath of the pandemic. This nuanced trend is attributed to the economic repercussions of inflation, compelling many families to transition to international shopping practices. To elucidate these patterns, we employed ordinal logistic regression to assess two pivotal determinants influencing the frequency of cross-border shopping. The geographical distance between residents’ abodes and international shopping venues emerged as a salient factor during the COVID period, reflecting heightened apprehensions about long-distance travel. However, this influence substantially waned post-COVID, as domestic inflation rendered cross-border shopping exceptionally advantageous. Furthermore, the significance of family size was pronounced in the pre-COVID era, with larger families exhibiting a proclivity for cross-border shopping. Notably, this correlation diminished during and post-COVID, indicating a leveling effect across family sizes. In summary, families of varying sizes exhibited comparable cross-border shopping frequencies during each period, with a discernible decline during the COVID era and a subsequent resurgence post-pandemic.

Authors: NUNES Alcina , VAZ Célia , ALVES Jorge
Published: March 2024

Health funding is essential to ensure access to health services. Over time, essentially in the last two decades, the mix of health funding in developed countries has changed. Thus, it is necessary to know this reality and evaluate how the type of funding is vital to ensure access to health services and to continue health coverage worldwide. Around the world, there are significant variations in the amount of financial resources countries spend on health. Therefore, the research aims to identify and quantify which macroeconomic factors have influenced the evolution of health financing in these economies over time. To identify and quantify which macroeconomic and demographic factors influence the evolution of the health funding ratio (specifically the ratio of public and private funding) in 36 countries from 2000 to 2019. The econometric methodology of panel data is applied. For estimating the models, annual statistical information is used for the 36 savings under study in the time scale. It is concluded that health funding through public spending has been decreasing while private spending has been increasing. It was also verified that sociodemographic factors do not influence health financing expenditure. Instead, socioeconomic factors make a significant contribution to health funding. The following variables: population used, unemployment rate, per capita income and inflation rate are statistically significant for the ratio under study.

Published: March 2024

Recently, tourism, including enotourism, has become an important factor in socio-economic development. It seems to be a promising area of action in terms of benefits not only for the city and its inhabitants, but also for global society. For the development of wine tourism, it is particularly important to observe consumer behavior, which changes due to changes in the environment. The main goal of this study is to assess the impact of wine tourism on the behavior of young consumers. The article contains the results of a survey conducted among respondents in the Lubuskie Voivodeship. The obtained results indicate that the majority of young consumers know and willingly visit Lubuskie vineyards, and they obtain information about them mainly from vineyard operators, wine sellers, family, friends and from their own experience. However, the main reasons for visiting vineyards included: participation in wine-related events and festivals, purchasing wine, as well as visiting vineyards and following thematic routes. Based on the research conducted, it was found that wine tourism undoubtedly helps improve the socio-economic situation. Building the region’s identity and image through wine tourism as a tool for the region’s development brings tangible benefits leading to its recognition and competitiveness. The results of this study provide valuable information for local authorities in shaping regional policy aimed at expanding wine tourism, in terms of assessing the existing potential of vineyards and further possibilities of their development.

Published: March 2024

Este artigo é uma reflexão a respeito do tema Esfera Jurídica: Embates E Perspectivas Das Tecnologias De Inteligência Artificial – Será Uma Ameaça Ou Ajuda Ao Ser Humano. Esse estudo tem a finalidade de investigar inteligência artificial do ponto de vista jurídico, expor todos os desafios que estão sendo enfrentados, entender realmente se ela é uma ameaça ou uma contribuição para os indivíduos no geral. Para fundamentar essa problemática vamos incluir em nossa pesquisa os pensamentos e teorias estudadas por Zigmunt Bauman. Para atingir os objetivos propostos utilizaremos a metodologia de revisão bibliográfica, ou seja, um estudo qualitativo de publicações científicas em periódicos, livros e outros. Consolidaremos não somente a simples transcrição de informações, mas construiremos a ponte entre os objetivos da pesquisa e as ideias dos autores selecionados para o estudo. Usaremos a aplicação dos conceitos descobertos por Bauman, juntamente com a análise do que estamos vivenciando hoje a respeito de tecnologias artificiais, redes sociais e capitalismo global. O mundo moderno está cada vez mais rápido e precisamos verificar se temos armas jurídicas para enfrentar o futuro que nos espera. Concluímos que se torna cada vez mais essencial, que a Justiça Brasileira se preocupe com a inovação do direito civil criando leis que compreendam proteção de direitos, e que compensem as possíveis perdas que os cidadãos comuns podem enfrentar com todas as tecnologias diversas que estão sendo criadas e que cada vez mais vão invadindo nossas vidas privadas, e que não temos o controle de barrar tal avanço. Contra tais ameaças é imprescindível que estejamos munidos de ferramentas jurídicas que ainda não existem, e que devem ser elaboradas, e efetivamente criadas para um futuro que está bem próximo.
HUBS COMUNITÁRIOS DE INOVAÇÃO
Authors: Guimarães de Andrade Magda Maria , Marè Renata Maria
Published: March 2024

A inovação é a base do crescimento econômico e da produtividade sustentável, que deve desempenhar um papel crucial na estratégia do governo municipal, para reconstruir e preparar a economia para o futuro. Entretanto, em Salvador, a inovação ainda representa uma pequena fração da atividade econômica, apesar de iniciativas pioneiras implantadas, a partir de 2018, a exemplo do Hub Salvador e do Centro Municipal de Inovação Colabore. No modelo vigente, inexiste a participação de instituições acadêmicas. Além disso, a perspectiva de trabalhar em inovação é remota para uma parcela significativa da população, e pesquisa e desenvolvimento pertencem a uma realidade bem distante de suas vidas. A situação de Salvador retrata um quadro de desigualdades sociais e econômicas, agravadas pela pandemia da COVID-19, que sinaliza a necessidade de uma reinvenção urbana a partir da criatividade e das necessidades de sua população. Essa proposta visa promover a regeneração urbana e a cidadania plena, no contexto da cidade inteligente. Ela se baseia em políticas inovadoras, que estimulem a criatividade, como fonte potencial de criação de valor, por meio da implantação de hubs de inovação em cada comunidade. Estes hubs utilizam o design thinking como estratégia para a criação de ambientes de inovação, conhecimento e aprendizagem, para atrair talentos e estimular o potencial criativo e realizador das pessoas, em territórios caracterizados por exclusão social, política e econômica. Trata-se, portanto, da substituição da perspectiva determinística da inovação, como crescimento econômico generalizado, pela abordagem da inovação inclusiva, criada em conjunto com os cidadãos. Dessa forma, haverá o fomento ao aprendizado e compartilhamento de ideias e oportunidades concretas, visando à concepção de soluções adaptadas à realidade de cada comunidade, promovendo o desenvolvimento inclusivo e sustentável e, portanto, a melhoria da qualidade de vida local.

Published: March 2024

Este artigo trata do tema da liderança no gerenciamento de projetos, percebida pelos profissionais de Sistemas de Informação (SI), a qual é pouco explorado na literatura. Dentro desse contexto esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar os estilos de liderança no gerenciamento de projetos percebido pelos diversos perfis de profissionais de SI. A fundamentação teórica da pesquisa foi baseada na literatura sobre liderança e sobre o perfil dos profissionais de SI. Outras variáveis como porte das organizações e setor de atuação também foram incluídas na análise como variáveis moderadoras.  O modelo de referência da pesquisa em relação à liderança está baseado no trabalho de Blake et al., (1964). Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa, que contou com uma amostra de 256 profissionais de SI que atuam na área de projetos em organizações brasileiras públicas e privadas.

Este artigo tem como objetivo integrar a gestão de pessoas com a filosofia Lean Seis Sigma, por meio do método DMAIC em um ambiente onde a ferramenta S.P.A.C.E é aplicada constantemente. A metodologia buscou diagnosticar quais foram os impactos que a filosofia Lean Seis Sigma, através do sistema DMAIC em consonância com ferramenta S.P.A.C.E, causaram no setor produtivo. Este diagnóstico foi feito, mediante a realização de um estudo de caso e análise de dados quantitativa realizada com um grupo de vinte e cinco pessoas no setor de Prensa da empresa X, situada em uma região metropolitana do Vale do Paraíba Paulista, Litoral Norte. O DMAIC fornece uma visão mais tangível e completa do processo produtivo, e diante dessa situação conclui-se que o método Lean Seis Sigma com a gestão de pessoas principalmente a ferramenta S.P.A.C.E, trouxe diversos benefícios, dentre os quais podem-se citar: maior valorização do capital humano, contribuir para a criação de um ambiente organizacional saudável e equilibrado gerando maior proximidade entre líderes e colaboradores.
From the French Lights to the Northeast Sunset: A Social Entrepreneur has Been Made

This teaching case reports on the trajectory of a French citizen, teacher, researcher and entrepreneur who found in Brazil the possibility of developing strategic behaviors of an entrepreneurial social nature. The information was collected through interviews with the entrepreneur and two family members. It is possible to consider that although the case contributes to the reality of a locality, this resembles the profile of our teacher as an entrepreneur, since it cannot be guaranteed that it is the best representation of this category. The study of the case opens new discussions about the individual and environmental factors that determine the entrepreneur's decision-making, enabling the marginalized localities to have the opportunity to promote entrepreneurship in loco and to create new teaching methodologies, directed to the formation of people who have potential as entrepreneurs.
LIDERANÇA E COMPROMETIMENTO ORGANIZACIONAL: UM ESTUDO COM PROFISSIONAIS DA INDÚSTRIA BRASILEIRA DE TRANSFORMAÇÃO
Authors: Berni Junior Ivan
Published: March 2024

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar relações entre estilos de liderança - transacional, transformacional, laissez-faire -, e comprometimento - afetivo, normativo e instrumental - de profissionais da indústria brasileira de transformação. Para tal, adota-se como marcos teóricos para a realização do estudo, a abordagem de liderança transacional-transformacional, proposta por Bass e Avolio (2004), a partir do modelo teórico elaborado por Burns (1978), assim como o modelo de comprometimento afetivo-normativo-instrumental, desenvolvido por Allen e Mayer (1990). Em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa que subsidia os resultados deste estudo pode ser caracterizada como de abordagem quantitativa e caráter descritivo, tendo sido desenvolvida por meio da técnica de survey, envolvendo a aplicação de questionário, composto por escalas do tipo Likert, de cinco pontos, junto a profissionais do setor de transformação brasileiro. Como escala para mensuração do estilo de liderança - transacional, transformacional e laissez-faire - faz-se uso da escala MLQ 5x short (Bass & Avolio, 2004). Já para análise do comprometimento organizacional é adotada a Affective Commitment Scale, desenvolvida por Meyer e Allen (1991). Aplicados a uma amostra de profissionais da indústria brasileira de transformação obtém-se como retorno 156 questionários completos e válidos, os quais após tabulados se viram submetidos a tratamento estatístico de dados, permitindo a identificação de correlação positiva e significativa entre os estilos de liderança – transformacional, transacional e o comprometimento afetivo. Por outro lado, não se constata correlação significativa entre os estilos de liderança – transformacional, transacional e os comprometimentos instrumental e normativo, ademais não há correlação significativa entre o estilo de liderança laissez-faire e comprometimentos instrumental, afetivo e normativo.

Para identificar as vantagens comparativas na percepção dos gestores das organizações de transportes de cargas sobre a instalação ou não de uma empresa de transportes no município de Aparecida de Goiânia – GO, foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo com abordagem qualitativa e análise descritiva e interpretativa, no período de maio a novembro de 2022. Os resultados deste estudo permitiram a construção do modelo empírico das vantagens comparativas de instalar empresas de transportes na cidade de Aparecida de Goiânia – GO, que são apresentados em quatro grupos: econômico-financeiro, administrativo, comercial e operacional. No grupo econômico-financeiro encontram-se fatores da economia de escala na utilização dos insumos de produção do serviço de transportes, na comercialização e o no escoamento de produtos agroindustriais regionais, na existência de projetos de incentivos fiscais na cidade, e do valor econômico atrativo das áreas para a instalação das empresas. No grupo administrativo identificou-se a oferta de mão de obra no ambiente regional, a disponibilidade de áreas no território para expansão das organizações, a existência de entidades representativas do setor na localidade. No grupo comercial fatores como: projetos municipais destinados a fomentar o crescimento do número de empresas na cidade, a existência de empresas demandantes de serviço de transportes de cargas na região, e o crescimento agroindustrial regional foram observados na localidade. Por fim, no grupo operacional destaca-se a existência de uma malha rodoviária que permite as diversas conexões para todas as regiões e unidades da federação do Brasil, a oferta dos serviços públicos nas áreas destinadas à instalação das empresas, a presença das concessionárias dos fabricantes de caminhões e de empresas para o apoio à manutenção dos veículos.

Abstract. Carbonyls have an important effect on atmospheric chemistry and human health because of their high electrophilicity. Here, high-throughput screening of carbonyl molecules in complex aerosol samples was achieved by combining targeted derivatization with non-targeted analysis using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS). Results showed that water-soluble organic matter (WSOM) in PM2.5 contains a large variety of carbonyls (5147 in total), accounting for 17.6 % of all identified organic molecules. Compared with non-carbonyl molecules, carbonyl molecules are more abundant in winter than in summer, and have unique molecular composition and chemical parameters. For the first time, a significant positive correlation was found between the abundance of carbonyl molecules and the dithiothreitol (DTT) activities of WSOM, and the elimination of the carbonyl group remarkably reduced the DTT activities, highlighting the pivotal role of carbonyls in determining the oxidative potential (OP) of organic aerosol. Among various molecules, oxidized aromatic compounds containing the carbonyl group produced in winter contributed more to the enhancement of DTT activity, which could be used as potential markers of atmospheric oxidative stress. This study improves our understanding of the chemical diversity and environmental health effects of atmospheric carbonyls, emphasizing the need for targeted strategies to mitigate the health risks associated with carbonyl-rich aerosols.
