Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Local Education Management, Lee Kwang Hyun , An Sun Hoi , Lee Soo Jeong
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the 'Comprehensive Admission by School Performance Records' works as an admission system for extending the educational opportunities of students from low-income families or not, and to analyze how well the ‘College Scholastic Ability Test(CSAT)’ estimates students' own efforts and abilities. For this, we compared the levels of family income of the students entered through the 'Comprehensive Admission by School Performance Records', except for those entered through the admission process for the lower-class opportunity expansion', and the students entered through the 'CSAT-centered Admission System'. We also reexamined several factors affecting the CSAT and the CSAT-centered Admission System. Findings showed the following two points; First, the 'Comprehensive Admission by School Performance Records' was not more favorable to the students from low-income families in getting college admission, compared with those from high-income families. Especially, at major three universities located in Seoul city, no difference between the students entered through the 'Comprehensive Admission by School Performance Records' and those entered through the 'CSAT-centered Admission System' was found in their family-income levels. Second, when the variable of parents' education level affecting students' academic achievement is included, the influence of family incomes over students' CSAT scores disappeared. Moreover, the hours that students spent for private-tutoring hardly affected their CSAT scores. Instead of it, students' personal study time more affected their CSAT scores. Therefore, we found that the 'CSAT-centered Admission System', rather than the 'Comprehensive Admission by School Performance Records', could be the selection criterion where students' own efforts and abilities could be more accurately evaluated.

Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Local Education Management, Lee Jung Mi , Kang Ji Yeon
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to identify the operational status of the contribution training program for local public officials in metropolitan and provincial offices of education, identify issues in the contribution training program for public officials, and prepare improvement plans. The conclusions and suggestions of this study are presented as follows. First, the contribution training program for local public officials meets the objectives of increasing welfare benefits at the individual level, resolving personnel backlogs at the organizational level, and social utilization of national human resources at the national and social level. However, it is necessary to change the name to ‘retirement competency development training for public officials’. Second, social criticism of non-working paid wages, public officials' demands to work until retirement, demands for effective training programs for social adaptation, and inefficiencies in manpower operation and management due to long-term dispatch of public officials, etc. Considering this, it is necessary to shorten the current contribution training period, but operate it differentially by position. Third, it is necessary to conduct periodic demand surveys on contribution training program and expand training programs to support active responses to reemployment and environmental changes. Lastly, in order to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of contribution training program, it is necessary to strengthen the connection between life cycle training for local public officials and retirement preparation education.

Didaktiserisering av norsk lærerutdanning: et deltakerperspektiv på 50 års kunnskapsutvikling av L1, forskning og fagdidaktikk
Authors: Ongstad Sigmund
Published: November 2023

This academic essay recollects as a start crucial aspects of my school- and work-life focusing personal and epistemological causes possibly related to increased didactisation and hence professionalisation of Norwegian teacher education.The first part outlines chosen aspects diachronically, as a chronicle, focusing possible hidden lines between my preferred school subjects and later choice of academic disciplines on my disciplinary journey as pupil, student, teacher, researcher, untill I end as teacher educator. The second part works as a synchronical contextualisation of my personal, subjective, disciplinary story. The key concept throughout the text is knowledge-development (Norw. kunnskapsutvikling) which is seen both as a personal and collective epistemological mechanism that, intertwined, changes persons, disciplines, institutions, and societies. Increased professionalism is believed to be fuelled by different forms of knowledge-development processes, such as theorising, textualisation, academisation, and especially didactisation. It is concluded that although such processes of professionalisation often are explained by their form and function, their content or their epistemological aspects are crucial too, which the story aims to illustrate. The essay reasonates and searches recognition rather abductively. To validate this personal text, it aims at following Habermasian truthful telling, documented claims, and honest discourse.

Die (Spiel-)Welt muss romantisiert werden! – Die Rezeption europäischer Romantik in Walking Simulator-Games
Authors: Aller Katja
Published: November 2023

This essay specifies how a sub-genre of the digital adventure game – the so-called walking simulator – reproduces and reflects ideas, motifs, and (narrative) structures of European Romanticism. The goal here is to draw attention to the genre’s potential for the academic discussion, analysis, and teaching of Romantic theories and patterns. To achieve this, I provide an introductory overview on the history of the walking simulator with emphasis on the early experimental games Explorer, The Forest, and LSD: Dream Emulator. An analysis of Dear Ether’s landscape design and narrative structure serves as access point into the discussion of how the Romantic ideas of 1. the sublime, 2. the silent poetry of nature, and 3. The Freudian Uncanny as well as the storytelling techniques of 1. synesthesia, 2. (reflective and meditative) walking, 3. fragmented narratives, and 4. (romantic) self-referentiality have been used in different walking simulators (such as Proteus, What Remains of Edith Finch, Gone Home, and The Beginners Guide) to tell (spatial) stories about emotions, identity, individuality. Walking simulators subvert traditional expectations towards digital games and, through their use of Romantic storytelling techniques, have changed the discourse about digital games as not only entertainment but a form of art.

Published: November 2023

Uncontrolled screen time is a worldwide menace to health of the population. Today, the state of neuropsychiatric health of schoolchildren depends on various factors, including screen time, i.e., the time they spend using mobile electronic devices. This study aimed to investigate how different screen time durations affect the said neuropsychiatric health of this population group. In the 2022–2023 academic year, we surveyed 109 Moscow schoolchildren (35 boys and 74 girls) using questionnaires compiled by A.M. Vane (identification of signs of vegetative symptoms) and S.K. Kulakov (identification of internet addiction). The mean age of the participants was 14.9 ± 0.12 years. The children were divided into two groups: those staying within the regulated limit of mobile screen time (group 1, n = 11), and those exceeding that limit (group 2, n = 98). In group 1, the average mobile screen time, as measured for one month, was 110.50 ± 10.00 minutes per day, in group 2 — 345.00 ± 15.00. The average Vane questionnaire scores differed significantly between the groups (p ≤ 0.01): 12.30 ± 1.89 points in group 1 and 22.54 ± 1.16 points in group 2. Signs of vegetative symptoms were registered in 45.9% of group 1 participants and 63.6% of group 2 participants (p ≤ 0.01). The average Kulakov questionnaire scores differed significantly between the groups (p ≤ 0.05): 28.7 ± 1.88 points in group 1 and 37.1 ± 1.09 points in group 2. Schoolchildren who exceed the regulated mobile screen time limit are at risk of developing vegetative disorders and internet addiction.

Published: November 2023

This study aims to improve the quality of finished leather for seat covers by knowing the effect of isocyanate as a cross-linker to reduce delamination on the finished leather. Delamination is a condition where the three layers of finish (base coat, medium coat, and top coat) do not stick together, resulting in the lifting of the top coat during the adhesion test. The raw material used in the trial is C60 quality crust dyed cowhide, 1.1 mm to 1.4 mm thick with an area of ± 3 sqft. The stages of the finishing process include semi-finished selection, stacking, spraying (base coat), rest, stacking, roller embossing, rest, milling, stacking, spraying (medium coat, top coat), rest, stacking, laboratory, and measuring. The formulation of the improved seat cover article was carried out by increasing the percentage of cross-linker in the base coat mixture. The production formulation used 2% cross-linker, trial 1 used 3% cross-linker, and trial 2 used 4% cross-linker. The best results are with the addition of 4% cross-linker to reduce delamination and have an adhesion resistance value of 24.5 N. The conclusion is that the greater the addition of cross-linker as much as 4% in the base coat of the article seat cover will reduce delamination, increase thickness from 1.1 mm to 1.2 mm, improve color fastness resistance to a value of 4, and reduce softness value from 3.92 mm to 3.42 mm.

Published: November 2023

This study aimed to investigate the effect of custom-made orthotic insoles on the lower limb biomechanics in children with flexible flat feet. A sample of 27 children (19 boys and eight girls) aged 7 to 13 years old with flexible flat feet participated in the study. Each custom-made orthotic insole was individually designed based on the foot of each subject, using ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) material with medium density. The study was conducted using a gait analysis laboratory, and participants were required to walk randomly at a self-selected speed with one of three insole conditions (custom-made orthotic insole, flat insole, and barefoot). The data was processed using Visual 3D software and analyzed by SPSS software. The results showed that using custom-made orthotic insoles resulted in a significant reduction in the maximum ankle inversion angle and ankle inversion moment while increasing the knee adduction moment during the stance phase when compared to wearing either flat insoles or being barefoot (p<0.05). This study found that custom-made orthotic insoles significantly altered the biomechanical characteristics of the lower limbs of children with flexible flat feet, reducing the movement of the ankle joint in the frontal plane, thereby enhancing ankle joint stability, but may increase knee joint load.
Gestão social e planejamento em saúde
Authors: Allebrandt Sérgio Luís , Carli Patrícia de
Published: November 2023

Os princípios organizativos do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) orientam que o planejamento da política pública de saúde deve se dar de forma descentralizada, regionalizada, ascendente, com participação da sociedade civil organizada, movimentos sociais, conselhos e controle social. A formulação das políticas públicas de saúde deve, portanto, observar preceitos de cidadania deliberativa e ser construída por meio de um planejamento participativo. Frente ao exposto, o presente ensaio repousa seu objeto de estudo sobre o planejamento da política de saúde nos municípios que compõem a região de saúde 20, denominada de Rota da Produção, localizada no norte do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, composta por vinte e seis municípios de pequeno porte populacional, tendo Palmeira das Missões como sede administrativa. O objetivo que ora se apresenta é o de verificar se o processo de confecção dos planos municipais de saúde atende aos preceitos da gestão social, consubstanciados na Constituição Federal de 1988 e na legislação de regência do SUS. Para tanto, parte-se do seguinte questionamento: O processo de elaboração dos planos municipais de saúde da Rota da Produção observa os preceitos da gestão social? Para atingir o objetivo do estudo foi utilizado levantamento bibliográfico e análise documental. Verifica-se, ao final, que os planos municipais apenas serão ferramentas aptas a promover o bem comum se o planejamento participativo for compreendido pelo ente municipal como etapa fundamental e orientadora do processo de execução das políticas públicas de saúde.

Rewriting – Republishing – Distribution
Authors: Wirágh András
Published: November 2023

Contemporary press networks played a significant role in shaping the literary career-building strategies of Hungarian writers at the fin-de-siècle. Several of these writers served as journalists or maintained ties with numerous newspapers concurrently. The networks involved in the publication of an author’s text reveal valuable information on the operations of the literary institution (the literary establishment) during the era, particularly in the careers of relatively unknown authors like László Cholnoky. During the early years of his career, Cholnoky’s strategies diverged from those of his contemporaries in several ways: he refrained from publishing his first volume for an extended period, withdrew from publishing intermittently, and revised his work more frequently than others. This paper will investigate the publication networks Cholnoky utilised between the years 1900 and 1914, shedding light on the unique aspects of publishing and networking relevant in three periods.
Romania’s 1866 Electoral System and the Quest for National Sovereignty
Authors: Roghină Răzvan Cosmin
Published: November 2023

In 1866, religion played a significant role in unifying the Romanian national spirit. A foreign prince was brought to rule under the Orthodox faith, and this religious aspect was incorporated into Article 82 of the Constitution.

The limitation of political rights in Romania was based on ethnic criteria, with Jews and other non-Christians excluded from full participation. The electoral system introduced a high property-based voting qualification, reflecting, to some extent, liberal principles, but effectively limiting actual participation.

Thus, the Romanian Constitution of 1866 struck a delicate balance between borrowed liberal ideals and the specific cultural context of Romania. It emphasized the role of religion and property ownership in shaping political rights and identity, while also attempting to align with European constitutional standards. The electoral system of 1866 in Romania fell short of democratic ideals and perpetuated inequalities. It shaped the political landscape and had far-reaching consequences for the country’s governance and representation.

Published: November 2023

The Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) holds an essential position in guaranteeing the observance of human rights within the country’s constitutional and legal framework. Through its attribution to interpret and verify the compliance of laws with the Constitution, the CCR has built a vast and particularly significant caselaw regarding the individual’s fundamental rights. By studying the Constitutional Court of Romania’s judicial practice in the field of human rights, we can examine how fundamental rights are interpreted and implemented in the national legal system. In this regard, the CCR plays a vital role in ensuring the protection and promotion of these rights by interpreting the Constitution and applicable legislation in accordance with international standards. It is important to highlight that the CCR’s human rights caselaw reflects the constant attempt to ensure a balance between the individual’s and society’s interests, protecting fundamental rights in accordance with the principles of the rule of law and international standards in the field. Through the analysis of concrete cases and constitutional interpretation, the CCR strengthens its essential role in human rights promotion and defense in Romania.
Tax Evasion Between Tax Optimization at the Border of Legality, Tax Burden and Voluntary Compliance
Authors: Petrașcu Daniela , Păcurariu Ioana , Ciocanea Bianca Cristina , Pițu Cosmin Ioan
Published: November 2023

Tax evasion operates beyond the boundaries of the jurisdictions, it develops across borders, and the extent of tax fraud as a phenomenon is differentiated according to the aspects and the rigours of legislation, as well as according to the economic environment of each country in part. Regardless of the level of development of the country in which it manifests, the effects of the fiscal fraud are destructive, affecting both the state budget, as well as the financial resources of the offenders’ commercial partners. The fiscal fraud has negative effects over the economic market, and one of the consequences is the social inequality from the perspective of the abuse and the predisposition of certain taxable subjects to fraud. Certainly, the phenomenon remains unraveled, the financial schemes being extremely complex, and the fraud mechanisms are some of the most laborious ones and in a permanent improvement, while the evaders keep finding new means by way of which they illegally attract financial resources. The fight against tax evaders is a difficult one, mainly because of the sometimes “deliberate” legislative “loopholes”, but also because of their ingenuity, which is often “one step” ahead of those who fight against tax evasion.
Predicting life expectancy of lung cancer patients after thoracic surgery using SMOTE and machine learning approaches
Authors: KHARIS SELLY ANASTASSIA AMELLIA , ZILI ARMAN HAQQI ANNA
Published: November 2023

. Lung cancer is a life-threatening condition characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells in the lungs. Thoracic surgery is a commonly employed diagnostic and treatment procedure for lung cancer. The objective of this study is to utilize machine learning techniques to predict the life expectancy of lung cancer patients one year after thoraric surgery. The study utilizes the Thoraric  Surgery Data Set, consisting of 454 data, with 385 data representing surviving patients and 69 data representing patients who passed away. Due to an imbalance in the data, the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) process is applied to balance the dataset. Multiple machine learning algorithms, including Random Forest (RF), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM), are employed for prediction. Validation is performed using 5-fold cross validation, repeated three times. The results indicate that the KNN model achieves the highest mean accuracy of 84.80% before the SMOTE process, although all models exhibit a low mean F1-score. Following the SMOTE process, the RF model attains  the highest mean accuracy of 79.52%, while the KNN model demonstrates  the highest mean F1-score of 26.54%. This research contributes valuable insights to clinicians in making informed decisions and improving patient outcomes.

Published: November 2023

Classification is the process of building a model that can distinguish between different classes of data. The model aims to predict the class of testing data based on patterns or relationships learned from training data. One of the data processing algorithms used to build classification models is Categorical Boosting (CatBoost). However, in general, the resulting models are difficult to interpret. To facilitate the interpretation of complex classification models, methods such as SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) are needed. SHAP is a method to explain individual predictions. SHAP is based on the game theoretically optimal shapley values. In this study, an analysis of important SHAP variables was conducted on the CatBoost classification model to identify variables characterizing occurrences of food insecurity in households. The data used in this study was obtained from the Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional (Susenas) in March 2021 in Aceh Province, sourced from the Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS). There are 13,126 observations in the research data. The results from four evaluated classification models on the testing data showed that the best model had accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC values of 0.703, 0.349, 0.798, and 0.637, respectively. Furthermore, the results of the analysis of important SHAP variables showed that the variables number of household members who smoke ( ), education of the household head ( ), wall types ( ), drinking water source ( ), and decent sanitation ( ) significantly contributed to the occurrences of food insecurity in households in Aceh Province in the year 2021.

The implication of this study is to provide new insight regarding the effects of pandemic towards Indonesia’s stock market liquidity, to become a reference to the future research because the result differs from one country to another one, to provide new insight such as knowledge regarding the higher return and the strengthening of Rupiah means the higher stock market illiquidity by its depth, in order to give guidance for investors’ decision-making process and to give references for the next research.
Carl Rogers und Psychose
Authors: Oberreiter David
Published: November 2023

Im schriftlichen Werk von Carl Rogers werden Schizophrenie und psychotische Symptome über 2300-mal erwähnt. In der Verwendung der Begriffe spiegeln sich die zum jeweiligen Zeitpunkt vorherrschenden theoretischen Hintergründe und die praktischen Erfahrungen von Carl Rogers wider. So ist im zeitlichen Verlauf der Publikationen eine Veränderung des Zugangs zu psychotischen Phänomenen beobachtbar. In früheren Jahren sieht Rogers Psychose grundlegend anders als neurotische oder „normale“ Zustände an. Er betont das Unvermögen von Psychotherapie bei Psychose. Dieser Blickwinkel ändert sich mit der theoretischen Weiterentwicklung des personzentrierten Ansatzes. Das Konzept der Dichotomie von Neurose und Psychosewird verworfen. Rogers distanziert sich zunehmend von diagnostischer Etikettierung. Es gelingt ihm Psychose als verstehbaren Prozess darzustellen und dadurch der Psychotherapie zugänglich zu machen. Die Beschreibung möglicher Gefahren in der therapeutischen Beziehung werden zunächst noch betont, verlieren aber an Bedeutung zugunsten eines starken Vertrauens in die Möglichkeiten des personzentrierten Ansatzes.
Das Sprachenporträt
Authors: Hermann Nina
Published: November 2023

Sprache nimmt in der psychotherapeutischen Arbeit mit traumatisierten geflüchteten Menschen oft eine zentrale Rolle ein: sei es, dass die Betroffenen keine Worte für das erlebte Grauen finden können – Stichwort „speechless terror“ – sei es, dass sie die Sprache des Aufnahmelandes nicht beherrschen, also sprachliche Barrieren im Weg stehen. Besonderheiten wie die Auseinandersetzung mit fremden Kulturen, der oft unverzichtbare Einsatz von Dolmetscher*innen und das Ausmaß der Traumatisierung durch menschen-verursachte Gräuel wie Krieg, Verfolgung und Folter müssen Berücksichtigung finden. Der Personzentrierte Ansatz stellt die tragfähige Beziehung zwischen Klient*in und Therapeut*in in den Mittelpunkt von Therapie und Beratung. Das sogenannte Sprachenporträt, welches in diesem Artikel vorgestellt wird, kann als wertvolles Instrument dienen, betroffene Personen bei der Wiedererlangung von Kontrolle und Selbstbestimmung zu unterstützen und ihre Einzigartigkeit zu würdigen, welche oft durch ihre persönliche Sprachenvielfalt Ausdruck findet.
Die Darstellung des Personzentrierten Ansatzes in der deutschsprachigen Fachliteratur

Published: November 2023

Vor dem Hintergrund der Kernkonzepte personzentrierter Theoriebildung, die auf die Forschungsergebnisse von Carl R. Rogers zurückgehen, analysieren die Autorinnen die Darstellungen des PZA in weit verbreiteten Lehrbüchern von Klinischer Psychologie, Psychotherapie, Psychiatrie und Ratgeberliteratur. Die Autorinnen kommen zu dem Schluss, dass die Darstellung oft lückenhaft und damit missverständlich ist – und entsprechend wenig dazu geeignet, den PZA als ein Psychotherapieverfahren kenntlich zu machen.

Published: November 2023

This study reports on the extent to which Vietnamese higher education students perceived employability capital. Drawing on the theory of Tomlinson (2017) [1], we investigated their levels of capital by using two primary sources of quantitative and qualitative data, thus informing the students’ lived experiences and voices behind their preparation for the future career. Findings showed that the students perceived forms of capital very differently and acknowledged all forms of capital are crucial and supporting each other for the sake of work readiness. Conclusions and implications are also presented at the end of the manuscript.
Incorporation of Rigid Body Dynamics into Indirect Hypersonic Trajectory Optimization
Authors: Saranathan Harish , Grant Michael J.
Published: November 2023

This investigation demonstrates hypersonic trajectory optimization using planar rigid body dynamics within the indirect trajectory optimization framework. Employing rigid body dynamics captures the coupling between the optimal trajectory, the vehicle geometry, mass distribution, and control configuration. This provides trajectories that implicitly account for the maneuverability of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle is guaranteed to follow the angle-of-attack profile. This is unlike point-mass dynamics, wherein the angle-of-attack or angle-of-attack rate is directly used as the control variable, and maneuverability must be accounted for using bounds on these quantities. This is not straightforward because these bounds are dependent on flight conditions and are not constant for the entire trajectory. As a result, point-mass dynamics can produce infeasible solutions if these bounds are not properly handled. When using rigid body dynamics, these bounds are a consequence of the flight dynamics and are not required to be explicitly enforced, thereby circumventing the challenge with dynamic bounds on angle-of-attack and angle-of-attack rate altogether. Additionally, optimal trajectories calculated using rigid body dynamics more accurately reflect the drag penalties incurred when maneuvering the vehicle, such as when deflecting the aerodynamic control surfaces. The incurred drag penalties become critical in high-performance applications, wherein the terminal velocity is required to be maximized. Also, because the trajectory is coupled to the vehicle geometry, mass distribution, and control architecture, the optimal trajectory can be concurrently analyzed with the vehicle configuration, thereby enabling multidisciplinary design analysis. Despite these benefits offered by employing rigid body dynamics in trajectory optimization, there is limited literature in this regard, and none of them explored in this investigation employs indirect methods. This investigation fills this gap in the indirect trajectory optimization arena.

In this contribution, we validate for the first time that the near infrared-infrared (NIR-IR) modulation of the optical transmission (DTTRANS = T(TTMIT)) of vanadium oxide-based nanomaterials can be controlled or tuned via a genuine approach with a simultaneous drastic reduction of its Mott transition temperature TMIT. More accurately, we report a significant thermochromism in multilayered V2O5/V/V2O5 stacks equivalent to that of pure VO2 thin films but with a far lower transition temperature TMIT. Such a multilayered V2O5/V/V2O5 thermochromic system exhibited a net control or tunability of the optical transmission modulation in the NIR-IR (DTTRANS) via the nano-scaled thickness of the intermediate vanadium layer. In addition, the control of DTTRANS is accompanied by a noteworthy diminution of the Mott transition temperature TMIT from the bulk value of 68.8 °C to the range of 27.5–37.5 °C. The observed peculiar thermochromism in the multilayered V2O5/V/V2O5 is likely to be ascribed to a significant interfacial diffusion or an excessive interfacial stress/strain, and/or to an effective halide (Na, K, Ca) doping. This doping is driven by a significant diffusion from the borosilicate substrate surface towards the V2O5/V/V2O5 stacks. If the upscaling of this approach is validated, the current findings would contribute to advancing thermochromic nanomaterials and their applications in smart windows for managing solar heat and green air-conditioning technologies.

A tecnologia “blockchain”, criada em 2008, vem ganhando popularidade ao longo dos anos, principalmente com as criptomoedas e o desenvolvimento de aplicações para o setor financeiro. Seu grande diferencial é permitir transações em blocos acessíveis de qualquer servidor, dispensando intermediários financeiros. Assim, a diversidade de aplicações da tecnologia tem crescido nos últimos anos, em virtude de sua capacidade de gerar confiança e segurança nas transações. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste artigo foi caracterizar empresas brasileiras que utilizam a tecnologia “blockchain”. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa no banco de dados Crunchbase, resultando em uma amostra final de 127 organizações. Os dados foram extraídos e tabulados em uma planilha Excel para análise de suas características. Os resultados apontaram que há predominância do setor financeiro na adoção da tecnologia “blockchain” pelas empresas brasileiras, mas também indicou a expansão para outros setores da economia. A pesquisa mostrou que a adoção não se limita a startups ou empresas jovens, mas inclui também empresas tradicionais. A análise das faixas de rendimento das empresas indicou que a maioria é de pequeno porte, com rendimentos abaixo de 10 milhões de dólares, mas também abrangeu empresas com rendimentos superiores a 100 milhões de dólares. Além disso, foi identificada uma desigualdade de gênero nas lideranças das empresas que adotam o “blockchain”, evidenciando a necessidade de políticas que incentivem a participação feminina no setor. Conclui-se que a adoção da tecnologia “blockchain” tem o potencial de transformar o modelo de negócios das empresas brasileiras, mas ainda há desafios a serem enfrentados.
