Abstract Objective: To evaluate the correlation between burden and sleep quality in caregivers of infants with cleft lip and/or palate. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a Brazilian tertiary public hospital between March and September 2020. The sample included the main informal, literate caregivers of infants with cleft lip and/or palate, aged 18 years or older. The instruments used were the Burden Interview Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Data were collected during the infants’ hospitalization. Statistical analysis adopted Pearson and Spearman correlations, with a 5% significance level. Results: A total of 31 informal caregivers participated in the study, most of them mothers (n=28; 90%), with a mean age of 30 years (standard deviation – SD=7.5), low socioeconomic status (n=20; 64%), who completed high school (n=19; 61%), were married (58%), had two children (n=15; 48%), and no employment relationship (n=18; 58%). A moderate correlation was found between sleep quality and burden (r=0.39; p=0.032) and between burden and subjective sleep quality (r=0.39; p=0.029), sleep latency (r=0.43; p=0.017), and daytime dysfunction (r=0.49; p<0.001). Conclusions: The study showed that the higher the burden, the lower the sleep quality. The findings indicate the need to plan and implement interventions to minimize the burden experienced by these informal caregivers in order to improve their sleep quality.

Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT This study aims to present how continuous and systematic monitoring in representative and experimental watersheds can help form high-level professionals and researchers in water resources, based on a case study of the Onça Creek Watershed (OCW). Through a historical survey of the monitoring network and the scientific studies carried out in the area, we identified people and map their geographical and professional location, to analyze the impact and importance of this area for the water resources community. We identified 90 scientific studies already developed at the OCW, which resulted in 22 masters and 4 Ph.D. students formed, involving another 33 external collaborators. We observed that 85% of the trained professionals continue to exercise functions related to water resources, in public and private institutions, throughout Brazil and abroad. We highlight the importance of financial support from research and development agencies, both for the monitoring network expansion and the training students' scholarships. We believe that the involvement of water resources graduate programs can be a way to increase the number of experimental and representative watersheds monitored in Brazil.

Published: November 2022

The study aimed to analyze the riverside population’s access to urgent and emergency services in Maués, Amazonas, Brazil, through the methodology of participatory approach and the analysis of talking maps and narratives. The relevance of the Community Health Agent came was highlighted, as well as the importance of mechanisms to deliver care in the riverside territory, such as the Fluvial Primary Care Unit and launches known as ambulanchas. However, challenges also came to light, like transportation in urgent and emergency situations and lack of a professional with a higher education degree to provide initial care in the territory. In addition, articulation and communication between sectors and the referral process are still deficient. Thus, strategies are needed to integrate the different points of the Healthcare Network, enabling communication and articulation. Moreover, new strategies to promote healthcare access must be developed in meetings between management and workers, grounded on reflective dialogue.
RISK FACTORS FOR HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA IN PATIENTS WITH NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE
Authors: CAVALCANTE Lourianne Nascimento , DEZAN Maria Gabriela Fernandes , PAZ Cláudio Luiz da S L , LYRA André Castro
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is growing in worldwide prevalence and thus, is expected to have a higher number of NAFLD-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the following years. This review describes the risk factors associated with HCC in NAFLD-patients. The presence of liver cirrhosis is the preponderant one. Male gender, PNPLA3 variants, diabetes, and obesity also appear to predispose to the development of HCC, even in non-cirrhotic subjects. Thus far, intensive lifestyle modifications, including glycemic control, and obesity treatment, are effective therapies for NAFLD/ non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and, therefore, probably, also for HCC. Some drugs that aimed at decreasing inflammatory activity and fibrosis, as well as obesity, were studied. Other data have suggested the possibility of HCC chemoprevention. So far, however, there is no definitive evidence for the routine utilization of these drugs. We hope, in the future, to be able to profile patients at higher risk of NAFLD-HCC and outline strategies for early diagnosis and prevention.
CROSS-SCALE MODELING OF LIQUID FLOWS IN HUMAN BODIES
Authors: Wang Mian , Zhang Yongbin
Published: November 2022

Multiple modeling approaches to liquid flows in human bodies are reviewed. They span from the macroscale size > 1 mm to the nanoscale size only on the 1 nm scale. They can respectively model the flows of the blood in large arteries, small arteries, arterioles, and capillaries; and the flows of water through the nanopores of the capillary wall, the cellular membrane, and the cellular connexon. They are respectively the macroscale continuum flow modeling, the mesoscale one-dimensional continuum flow modeling, the microscale dissipative particle dynamics method, the macro-nano multiscale flow modeling, and the nanoscale flow modeling. Integrating these approaches together can give comprehensive simulations of liquid flows in human bodies.

Fracture characteristics analysis of FRP-reinforced concrete based on acoustic emission
Authors: Liu Jueding , Fan Xiangqian , Ge Fei , Yin Yangyang
Published: November 2022

To study the acoustic emission (AE) characteristics of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete during the fracture process, three-point bending tests of FRP-reinforced concrete beams with cracks were carried out. The AE characteristics of FRP-reinforced concrete beams with different bonding lengths and different bonding layers were analysed based on the AE parameters, and the effect of the fracture parameters was studied. The test results reveal that the crack initiation load and peak load of single-layer FRP-reinforced concrete beams first increase and then decrease with the increase of bonding length. The failure mode of multi-layer FRP-reinforced concrete beams is a kind of dangerous brittle failure, which easily forms the ‘super-reinforcement failure’ mode. The ductility of single-layer FRP-reinforced concrete beams with a bonding length of 25 cm is optimal, which can effectively delay crack propagation. By combining the load–time curves, AE ringing count–time curves and AE energy–time curves, the time points of crack initiation load and instability load can be accurately determined. The analysis of RA–AF (ratio of ringing count to duration–ratio of rise time to maximum amplitude) and clearance factor index can be used to evaluate the damage state of FRP-reinforced concrete beams.
Managing designing for safety: a framework for whole-team decision making and risk control
Authors: Hewlett Bill , Sherratt Fred , Edmondson Vikki
Published: November 2022

Designing for safety (DfS) aims to make designs inherently safer to build, operate and maintain, but any residual risk must be controlled, something essential to realising the benefits of inherently safer designs. Here, a conceptual decision making framework for supporting DfS, developed in conjunction with industry, is introduced. It aims to assist designers in communicating risk, residual risk and actions needed to support DfS, in a way easily understood by non-specialists such as clients and business leaders. The framework proposes a qualitative categorisation for DfS linked to a clear numerical scale, which embraces the complexity of engineering assessment across the full asset life cycle, while using a form of language (numbers) that can be readily understood by all. The framework was empirically explored through an operational design workshop with four engineers leading design and planning teams on the framework. It was found to bring a range of benefits for DfS at the design stage: it provided a structure for the discussion of DfS, made the consideration of DfS objective, gave a new vernacular that improved the collective thought process and made the debate and the resultant design decisions more accessible to non-specialists. The framework provides a tool for supporting the implementation of DfS across the entire life cycle of an asset, enhancing DfS communication within the decision making process from the initial strategic definition stage onwards.
Hieratic Monkey: SJ Fowler’s Performance at the BSB April Launch
Authors: Lewis Julia Rose , Franklin Wilfred
Published: November 2022

In the following review, we will consider how Fowler faces birth, evolution, grief, literature, religion, and reflects these experiences back to the audience.  We suggest that he is giving form to the space between his face and the audiences’ faces; he is revealing a series of vases. This is based in the ambiguous figure Rubin’s vase-face, which is an important part of gestalt psychology. Fowler brings the religious and zoological meanings of the word primate face to face in his performance. He identifies as a primate to insist that the great apes are a worthy subject for poetry; he is preaching to the audience seated in church pews. Fowler introduces the evolutionary theory into St Johns on Bethnal Green through literature. Bob Bright, Ailsa Holland, Chris Kerr aid in his performance by reading selections from his 10th poetry collection, The Great Apes published by Broken Sleep Books 2022. The primate performance itself comes full circle to ask poets who among them is worthy to read as opposed to sit in the audience. This rigid hierarchal thinking is utterly disrupted by the primate figure enacting birth and grief. Poetry about the sixth great extinction cannot let itself become taxidermy; it must be disturbing, exciting, and deeply visceral as Fowler’s performance.  
The Functions of Criticism and the Politics of Appreciation
Authors: Brake Laurel
Published: November 2022

This article suggests that ‘appreciation’ as defined by Walter Pater is a genre of criticism distinguished from that of Matthew Arnold’s critical practice and theory. I consider how appreciation functions as a critical mode in Pater’s periodical reviews, testing Pater’s resolve in how he manages it in respect to reviews of books on controversial subjects such as religion, aestheticism, and revolution. The article ends with a case study of Pater’s signed review of W. S. Lilly’s critique of the French Revolution in a book published during its centenary in 1889, a review that exemplifies the high stakes of reviewing and Pater’s review at this time, just as Appreciations is published. The case study explores how the genre of appreciation meets the challenges of the timing of the review; the site of its publication; and Pater’s relationship to the author, to the editor, and to his own publisher.
Design Principles for Serious Games Authoring Tool
Authors: Laurent Maxence , Monnier Sandra , Huguenin Audrey , Monaco Pierre-Benjamin , Jaccard Dominique
Published: November 2022

Serious game development involves a multidisciplinary team of teachers and computer scientists. But the difference in computer competencies between the team members is a recurring difficulty in this collaboration. Authoring tools, which provide interfaces adapted to users' competencies, are promising solutions to overcome this difficulty. However, existing authoring tools are either limited in their functionalities (not powerful) or too complex for non-computer scientists (not usable). A comprehensive set of design principles to address this limitation does not yet exist.
The objective of this research was to define a set of design principles for the development of powerful and usable authoring tools.
To achieve this objective, we first defined a set of design principles. We then developed an authoring tool corresponding to these principles. Finally, we carried out test uses of that tool through the development of twelve serious games. Results show that this authoring tool enabled the development of a wide variety of serious games (powerful) by teams with heterogeneous computer skills (usable).
Design principles defined in this research integrate and extend previous works. They allow to overcome the dilemma between the power and usability of authoring tools. This could unlock new possibilities for collaborative approaches in serious games developments.

Immunohistochemical staining of CD44 core proteins in islet beta cells of formalin-fixed mouse pancreas v2
Authors: Starrs Lora
Published: November 2022

Paraffin sections (4mm thickness) of formalin-fixed mouse pancreases were treated with heat/citrate buffer for antigen retrieval. CD44 core proteins were detected immunohistochemically using rat anti-mouse CD44 mAb (IM7 mAb; BD Biosciences) or mouse anti-human CD44v3 mAb (CD44v3: R&D Systems), with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated rabbit anti-rat Ig (Dako) or rabbit anti-mouse Ig (Dako). Background staining was checked using the corresponding isotype control Ig instead of the primary antibody. 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole (AEC) was used as the chromogen. For morphometry, stained sections were imaged using a light microscope with attached camera (Olympus BX41). Image J software with color deconvolution plugin was used for the quantitative analysis of the % of islet area stained.

Published: November 2022

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of oral environmental pH on the viscoelastic properties of bioactive restorative materials (BRMs) by using dynamic mechanical analysis. Stainless steel molds were used to fabricate 40 beam-shaped specimens (12 × 2 × 2 mm) for each material. The specimens were finished, measured, randomly divided into four groups (n = 10), and immersed in aqueous solutions of pH 3.0, 5.0, 6.8, and 10.0 at 37 °C for seven days. The specimens were then subjected to dynamic mechanical analysis with a 5 N load and frequency range of 0.1-10.0 Hz. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA/Dunnet T3’s test (α = 0.05). Mean elastic modulus spanned from 2.68 ± 0.17 to 6.49 ± 0.71 GPa, while viscous modulus ranged from 0.43 ± 0.03 to 0.62 ± 0.12 GPa. Loss tangent differed from 77.30 ± 4.90 to 164.50 ± 9.12. Significant differences among pH were discerned for (i) Elastic modulus: Cention N - pH 3.0, 5.0, 10.0 > 6.8; Activa Bioactive - pH 3.0, 6.8, 10.0 > 5.0, (ii) Viscous modulus: Cention N - pH 3.0, 5.0, 10.0 > 6.8, and (iii) Loss tangent: Activa Bioactive - pH 5.0 > 3.0, 6.8, 10.0. Significant differences in viscoelastic properties were noted among the BRMs with Activa Bioactive presenting the lowest elastic modulus for all pH. Immersion of all materials in pH 6.8 yielded the highest elastic modulus, except for Activa Bioactive. The effects of environmental pH on viscoelastic properties of BRMs are material-dependent.

Penilaian geobahaya cerun telah dijalankan di Empangan Sultan Mahmud, Tasik Kenyir, Kuala Berang, Terengganu menggunakan kaedah Sistem Penilaian Cerun Model-B bertujuan untuk meramalkan potensi cerun mengalami tanah runtuh dengan nilai skor geobahaya. Kajian juga bertujuan untuk menilai ketepatan terhadap jenis cerun yang berbeza di ketiga-tiga kawasan kajian. Cerun di dalam kawasan kajian ini melibatkan cerun jenis potongan batuan, cerun potongan tanah dan cerun potongan batuan bercampur tanah. Terdapat 9 parameter yang diambil kira di dalam penilaian geobahaya iaitu sudut cerun, keluasan fitur, jarak dari permatang, bentuk cerun, peratusan fitur tak tertutup, kehadiran batuan terdedah, kehadiran saliran bertangga, kehadiran saliran mendatar dan kehadiran hakisan. Penilaian dijalankan di dalam batuan granit di kawasan berbukit iaitu di tiga tapak kajian iaitu tapak kajian 1, 2 dan 3 yang merangkumi keluasan 129 hektar. Hasil kajian di tapak kajian 1 mendapati skor geobahaya cerun batuan ini dikelaskan sebagai sangat tinggi dan tinggi. Faktor utama yang mempengaruhi skor geobahaya yang sangat tinggi dan tinggi adalah disebabkan sudut kecerunan yang tinggi dan keadaan batuan yang terdedah. Hasil kajian di tapak kajian 2 mengelaskan skor geobahaya adalah tinggi sahaja. Ini disebabkan oleh kecerunan yang tinggi, bentuk cerun, kewujudan hakisan dan tumbuhan tutup bumi. Manakala, hasil kajian di tapak 3 mendapati skor geobahaya adalah sederhana. Faktor utama yang menyebabkan skor geobahaya sederhana adalah kerana sebahagian merupakan cerun semula jadi, sudut kecerunan yang rendah, litupan tumbuhan pada cerun dan kehadiran hakisan yang rendah. Kesimpulan daripada kajian ini menunjukkan kaedah Sistem Penilaian Cerun Model-B (SPCM-B) adalah bersesuaian untuk digunakan dalam memetakan skor geobahaya bagi cerun jenis tanah potongan kejuruteraan.

The importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the surgical treatment of patients with severe combined oncological and cardiovascular pathologies is shown. In modern surgery, there is a place for both simultaneous and staged surgical treatment of this category of patients, which should be determined in each specific clinical case and requires an individual multidisciplinary approach with the inclusion in the discussion of such specialists as an oncosurgeon, a chemotherapist, a radiation therapist, a cardiologist/therapist, cardiovascular surgeon, anesthesiologist and resuscitator.
Two clinical cases of a two-stage and one-stage surgical approach in the treatment of patients with competing gastric cancer and coronary heart disease are presented. One 47-year-old patient underwent two-stage surgical treatment: stage 1 aortocoronary bypass grafting from mini-thoracotomy (MICS CABG); stage 2 robot-assisted distal subtotal resection of the stomach (Balfour modification) with D2 lymphadenectomy, formation of intracorporeal gastroenteroanastomosis and interintestinal anastomosis according to Brown. Another 74-year-old patient underwent a one-stage surgical intervention: autovenous coronary artery bypass grafting of the anterior interventricular artery, posterior descending coronary artery on a beating heart, without cardiopulmonary bypass + extended-combined gastrectomy with resection of the distal esophagus, resection of the diaphragm, and D2+ lymphadenectomy. The postoperative period proceeded without complications.

Published: November 2022

Background: Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) is a reversible type of dementia, which affects 0.2 to 5.9 percent of elders. It manifests with triad of gait disturbances, urinary incontinence, and cognitive decline. In this study, association between cognitive and neuroradiographic parameters of idiopathic NPH (iNPH) was appraised to find out possible biomarkers for preventive intervention.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 16 patients with iNPH were evaluated for third and fourth ventricle diameter, diameter of temporal horn of lateral ventricle, Evans index (EI), callosal angle (CA), callosal bowing, and ballooning of frontal horn. The Neuropsychiatry Unit Cognitive Assessment Tool (NUCOG) was used to take cognitive profile. Relation between brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indices and cognitive domains was extracted, using generalized linear model (GLM).
Results: Patients with mild callosal bowing had better function in memory (P = 0.050) and language  (P = 0.001) than those with moderate to severe callosal bowing. Negative or mild ballooning of frontal horn was also associated with higher scores in memory  (P = 0.010), executive function (EF) (P = 0.029), and language (P = 0.036) than moderate to severe ballooning of frontal horn. Increased 3rd ventricle diameter was associated with decline in total cognition (P = 0.008), memory (P = 0.019), EF (P = 0.012), and language  (P = 0.001). Relation between other radiographic indices and cognitive function was not significant.
Conclusion: Third ventricular diameter, rounding of frontal horn of lateral ventricle, and callosal bowing are more accurate neuroradiographic parameters to predict cognitive decline in iNPH.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries (CCTGA): A Case Report
Authors: Hematian Nasir , Torabi Shirin , Hantoushzadeh Sedigheh , Saleh Maasoumeh , Saleh Mahboubeh
Published: November 2022

CCTGA, also known as levo- or L-loop transposition (L-TGA), double discordance, or ventricular inversion, is a rare cardiovascular anomaly with inversion of the ventricles and great arteries. In this anomaly, the right atrium communicates with the morpho- logic left ventricle, which gives rise to the pulmonary artery, while the left atrium communicates with the morphologic right ventricle, which gives rise to the aorta. Thus, atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance (double discordance) exist, and although the blood flows in the normal direction, it passes through the wrong ventricular chambers. It is a unique conotruncal anomaly, inwhich the four-chamber view is abnormal. It may be associated with other heart disorders. In most fetuses, TGA remains undiagnosed before birth. The diagnosis of TGA can be made by care- fully and appropriately evaluating the anatomic locationsof cardiac chambers and the connections between the atria, ventricles, and great arteries with high-resolution ultrasound. Patients with isolated CTGA generally present later in life with signs and symptoms related to either arrhythmias or heart failure. TGA is rarely associated with chromosomal abnormality and amniocentesis is usually not undertaken. We report a case of CTGA detected at 18 week’s gestation on screening ultrasound.

A Quantitative Assessment on Perceived Physiological Comfort of Clothing during Lactation
Authors: Kandiah Jayanthi , Saiki Diana , Alshhree Fatima
Published: November 2022

Background: Physiological comfort refers to sensorial comfort including temperature, fit and fabric weight. Because pregnant and lactating women undergo various physiological changes, it is important to identify optimal comfort features regarding clothing. This will promote and increase breastfeeding duration. The purpose of this research is to compare physiological comfort of two types of clothing. They include designed clothing (DC) ,such as side flaps to access breasts and a strap which gets unhooked ), and conventional clothing(CC), like center front button closure, center front zipper, knitted V-neck shirt, and a t-shirt.
Methods: This was a quantitative research study conducted to examine perceived physiological comfort of clothing during lactation (IRB# 1-1056432-1). Data were collected from 217 lactating women who were on lactated related social media sites (e.g., BabyCenter blog). A validated and reliable survey was developed by interviewers. It was a series of questions including demographic ones and assessed seven physiological features.  Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequencies (number and percent), and, a sample t-test.  
Results:  After comparing DC with CC, authors found that DC provided greater physiological comfort.  Statistically significant differences (p≤ .05) were found between garment coverage in reference to temperature (i.e. warmth) and satisfaction with the length of the garment.
Conclusions: The results have practical implications for a variety of professions including apparel designers and lactation health care providers. Currently, there is little to no research which investigated physiological comfort of outerwear clothing for lactating mothers.

Published: November 2022

Background: This study investigated the effect of supportive supervision on improving the health activity index.
Methods: The present interventional study was conducted to investigate the control and headquarters level in the organization to increase and improve 8 health indicators. Ten experts from the headquarters stationed in Khomeini Shahr communicated with the personnel of 10 health centres. The population covered by health centres was 40,000 people. The health indicators of the centres were compared before and after 3 months of the supervisory intervention of staff experts from SIB system (Integrated health system). Paired t-test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were used to test the items and to check for normality of data distribution. SPSS19 was used for data analysis (P<0/001).
Results: The results showed that all indices except health care activity had a significant increase. Indicators were: child care activity from 71.5 to 83.6%, activity of pregnant mothers from 65.1 to 77.29%, medical care coverage from 149.5 to 187.6%, death rate reports from 10.9 to 20.4%, mental health care from 7.9 to 11.1%, post-natal care from 75.0 to 84.9%, and the percentage of the covered population from 66.2 to 80.6%. Only the health care activity index did not improve significantly and increased from the average of 180.6 to 200.3%. We saw the lowest growth of the index in health care, which increased from 180.6 to 200.3%
Conclusion: Considering the significant impact of the intervention on the indicators, it is predicted that supportive monitoring training will improve the health quality of the country's health system.

Authors: Esfahani M. H. Nasr , Haghani F. Khaksar , Heidarian Shahram
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we obtain some new results on radicals of an ideal in BL-algebras. Further, we introduce I-balls in BL-algebras and prove that I-balls constitutes a basis for a topology on BL-algebras. We also derive some new relations of sequences in BL-algebras.
Summations and transformations for very well-poised hypergeometric functions 2q+5F2q+4(1) and 2q+7F2q+6(1) with arbitrary integral parameter differences
Authors: Vyas Yashoverdhan , Fatawat Kalpana
Published: November 2022

The present paper aims to derive summation and transformation formulae for the generalized very well-poised hypergeometric functions 2q+5F2q+4(1) and 2q+7F2q+6(1) having arbitrary integral parameter differences. These results are derived with the help of Bailey’s transform and the extension of Saalschutz summation theorem for the series ¨ r+3Fr+2(1), where r pairs of parameters differ by positive integers. The particularizations of these generalized identities give classical summation theorems due to Dougall, transformation formula due to Whipple and, other related results. Furthermore, the application of 2q+5F2q+4(1) summation to the limiting case, when q → 1, of one of the Andrews’ q-identities gives a Srivastava-Daoust type multiple hypergeometric series.

Numerical solution of the conformable fractional diffusion equation
Authors: Yaslan H. Cerdik
Published: November 2022

In this paper, a numerical approach for solving space-time fractional diffusion equation with variable coefficients is proposed. The fractional derivatives are described in the conformable sense. The numerical approach is based on shifted Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. The space-time fractional diffusion equation with variable coefficients is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations by using the properties of Chebyshev polynomials. The finite difference method is applied to solve this system of equations. Numerical results are provided to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach.
Some applications of Maia's fixed point theorem in the case of operators with Volterra property with respect to a subinterval
Authors: Filip Alexandru-Darius
Published: November 2022

The aim of this paper is to improve some fixed point results given by I.A. Rus in (On a fixed point theorem of Maia, Studia Univ. Babes¸-Bolyai Math., 22(1977), 40-42), (Basic problem for Maia’s theorem, Sem. on Fixed Point Theory, Preprint 3(1981), Babes¸-Bolyai Univ. ClujNapoca, 112-115) and (Data dependence of the fixed points in a set with two metrics, Fixed Point Theory, 8(2007), no. 1, 115-123), by applying, instead of contraction principle, some variants of Maia’s fixed point theorem.
A class of conformable backward stochastic differential equations with jumps
Authors: Luo Mei , Wang JinRong , O'Regan Donal
Published: November 2022

In this paper, we study conformable backward stochastic differential equations driven by a Brownian motion and a compensated random measure. We derive the conformable Ito’s ˆ formula with jumps and a priori estimates and we obtain the existence and uniqueness of solutions under some assumptions in the framework of the conformable derivative. In addition we get a predictable representation of the solution. Comparison theorems for the operator g under different conditions are given. We also establish the inverse comparison theorem for the operator g under a Lipschitz condition.
Some notes on modules in which all submodules have a unique closure
Authors: Tasdemir Özgür
Published: November 2022

A module M is called a UC-module if whenever every submodule of M has a unique closure. In this paper, we establish new characterizations of several well-studied classes of rings in terms of UC-modules, and show that UC is not a Morita invariant property. In addition, we study the behaviour of UC-modules under excellent extensions of rings.

We study rotational hypersurfaces with constant 2-mean curvature in Rn+1. We derive the ODE for the generating curves of such hypersurfaces, and find an integral expression for the inverse function of the solution.
A note on the coefficients of power sums of arithmetic progressions
Authors: Cereceda José L.
Published: November 2022

In this note we show a simple formula for the coefficients of the polynomial associated with the sums of powers of the terms of an arbitrary arithmetic progression. This formula consists of a double sum involving only ordinary binomial coefficients and binomial powers. Arguably, this is the simplest formula that can probably be found for the said coefficients. Furthermore, we give an explicit formula for the Bernoulli polynomials involving the Stirling numbers of the first and second kind.

In the present article deal with the existence and multiplicity of solutions to a class of p(x)-Kirchhoff type problem with Steklov boundary-value. By variational approach and theory of the variable exponent Sobolev spaces, under appropriate assumptions on f , we obtain existence of infinitely solutions and at least one nontrivial weak solution.
Coleta seletiva de resíduos em prédios residenciais: relato dum experimento que dimensiona o desafio de atender às modestas expectativas da administração municipal
Authors: Fehr Manfred , Crosara Regina
Published: November 2022

O experimento objetivou implantar a coleta seletiva num edifício residencial no contexto das instruções de separação e das operações de logística reversa disponibilizadas pela administração municipal. O trabalho dimensionou o desafio referente à separação na fonte, à infraestrutura de coleta e ao escoamento do material. A separação e a infraestrutura são problemas internos que foram resolvidos com métodos da gestão de pessoas. O escoamento é um problema externo. O estudo identificou a relação entre os dois tipos de problema. O objetivo se considerou alcançado quando a separação atendeu às instruções e à logística reversa da administração municipal. Isto significa coleta seletiva de aproximadamente 14% dos rejeitos domiciliares.
A Guerra Civil Espanhola (1936-1939) nas páginas do jornal O Globo
Authors: De Gusmão Ramon Lamoso
Published: November 2022

Este artigo analisa a posição adotada pelo jornal O Globo na cobertura da Guerra Civil Espanhola (1936-1939). Novos problemas postos pelos dias atuais, como a retirada da última estátua do general Franco do espaço público, ensejaram a busca por fontes ainda inexploradas aqui no Brasil. Examinamos quatro aspectos nas edições diárias do jornal: o anticomunismo dos nacionalistas; o anticlericalismo dos republicanos; o envolvimento das potências estrangeiras; e o bombardeio de Guernica. Além de uma bibliografia específica sobre o conflito, a cobertura do jornal é discutida à luz das relações entre História, imprensa e Tempo Presente.
agenda setting das fake news: uma análise da desinformação contra a esquerda brasileira à luz da ciência política
Authors: Quessada MIguel
Published: November 2022

As fake news emergiram com a pós-verdade e tiveram na eleição de Trump e na Brexit os principais exemplos de seu uso indiscriminado. O Brasil não passou ileso e aqui elas também repercutiram principalmente no período eleitoral, em que toda sorte de desinformação é ressuscitada e vem a público novamente. Embora o uso da mentira na política não seja recente, o fenômeno das fake news é devido ao seu uso estar vinculado ao aparato tecnológico da sociedade da informação em que vivemos. De tão usual, o termo fake news tornou-se complexo, e a literatura tem preferido o termo desinformação por ser mais abrangente e conseguir compreender todo tipo de boato veiculado. O presente estudo tem como objetivo investigar o discurso propagado contra a esquerda brasileira, propondo uma tipologia das fake news utilizadas e descobrir o que há em comum nas mentiras veiculadas, e quais os preconceitos que elas trazem à tona por meio da catalogação das desinformações que foram desmentidas pelas agências/sites de checagem e a análise do seu conteúdo e discurso. Parte da hipótese de que as fake news não são propostas aleatoriamente, mas seguem temas que são sensíveis à população brasileira de modo que, ao serem propagadas, inflem o imaginário dos sujeitos envolvidos no processo de comunicação. Metodologicamente, o trabalho usa da Análise do Discurso para compreender esse fenômeno, e utiliza a Análise Semiolinguística como forma de análise.

Pomen subjektov javnega interesa za povečanje družbene odgovornosti
Authors: Jovanovič Dušan , Bratina Borut
Published: November 2022

Zakon o revidiranju in zadnja novela ZGD-1K sta vnesla novo definicijo subjektov javnega interesa (SJI) v slovenski pravni prostor. Ta pojem zavzema vse javne delniške družbe in gospodarske družbe iz finančnega področja (banke in zavarovalnice), za katere veljajo bolj stroga pravila računovodskega poročanja in delovanja. Slovenija je evropsko definicijo SJI razširila še na vse gospodarske družbe, v katerih ima država ali lokalna skupnost večinski delež glasovalnih pravic. Že od novele ZGD-1J, morajo SJI v poslovnem poročilu priložiti posebno izjavo o nefinančnem poslovanju, ki vsebuje pomembne podatke o okoljskih, socialnih in kadrovskih zadevah, spoštovanju človekovih pravic ter v zadevah v zvezi z bojem proti korupciji in podkupovanju z obrazložitvami izvajanih politik na tem področju. Epidemija COVID-19 nam je pokazala, da smo ranljivi in kako pomembna je socialna in pravna država ter ustrezen odnos do narave. Zato poslovanje gospodarskih subjektov v in po epidemiji zahteva ponoven premislek o vzdržnem poslovnem modelu, kjer ni na prvem mestu zgolj lukrativni namen družb ustvarjati dobiček na trgu, ampak tudi ustrezen odnos do naravnega in predvsem družbenega okolja. Pričakovati je, da bodo nefinančna poročila razširjena na SJI, predvsem družbe, katerih glasovalne pravice so v državni in lokalni lasti in od njih se pričakuje poslovanje, ki bi upoštevalo ustrezen odnos do naravnega in družbenega okolja. Tako avtorja v prispevku podajata tudi nekatere predloge in primere dobrih praks, za povečanje družbene odgovornosti SJI in s tem zmanjševanje revščine.
Odnos do okolja in naravnih virov odseva tudi v pristopu do revščine in revnih
Authors: Knez Rajko
Published: November 2022

Prispevek išče odgovore o vprašanjih korelacije odnosa posameznika in družbe do drugega posameznika, potrebnega pomoči na eni in do okolja na drugi strani. Zakaj namreč ob vsem znanju, ki ga imamo kot civilizacija (in imamo ga največ doslej), še vedno dan za dnem škodujemo okolju, sebi in drugim, ki v njem živijo in tudi prihodnjim generacijam (kot da jih ne bi imeli radi, kot da bi jim želeli slabo). Družba, ki uči vključevanja in zavrača izključevanje, je sposobna izražati skrb. Izražanje skrbi za drugega posameznika, potrebnega pomoči ali revnega, ni oddaljeno od občutka za okolje v katerem živimo, kot tudi ne od skrbi za prihodnje generacije. Družba potrebuje znanje, vendar je treba dati poudarke tudi odgovorom na vprašanje zakaj in s tem vplivati na razvoj misli in te na občutke; torej, zakaj potrebujemo solidaren in skupnosten odnos do drugega, zakaj potrebujemo etičen vzdržen odnos do okolja; in ne samo, kako naj se ravna. Gre za kreposti, ki bi jih države morale spodbujati.
