Authors: Costa Júnior João Florêncio da , Calazans Dinara Leslye Macedo , Araújo Afrânio Galdino de
Published: September 2024

Objectives: This study systematically investigates the concept of internationalization ecosystems (INT-E) to evaluate the depth of existing research and assess the feasibility of a new theoretical framework that incorporates an ecosystemic perspective into contemporary International Business (IB) theories.
Methodology: Utilizing a systematic literature review (SLR) and thematic analysis, the study examined 67 articles from Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science to understand the dynamics, actors, and characteristics of internationalization ecosystems.
Relevance / originality: The concept of INT-E is nascent in the IB literature, with a noticeable lack of an ecosystemic approach to studying internationalization. This study validates existing models while identifying conceptual gaps, suggesting new research directions.
Main Results: Significant gaps were identified in the IB literature regarding internationalization ecosystems. However, the study supports a previously proposed conceptual framework that integrates business, entrepreneurial, innovation, and platform ecosystems.
Theoretical / methodological contributions: This study contributes theoretically by applying an SLR to the emerging concept of internationalization ecosystems, encouraging further research within IB Theory by focusing on INT-E as an independent entity.
Management Contributions: Practically, this study lays the groundwork for a future conceptual framework that can help organizations strategically position themselves within the context of internationalization. While the INT-E framework is still developing, these preliminary insights can enhance internationalization strategies across various dimensions.

A fertilização é uma prática muito importante no crescimento das plantas, atuando em processos fisiológicos como regulação do crescimento, fluxo de energia e síntese de complexos orgânicos moleculares. Assim, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar a influência da adubação nitrogenada no crescimento e fisiologia de plantas jovens de Cordia americana no campo, bem como estimar a dose de máxima eficiência técnica (DMET). A hipótese de estudo foi de que o crescimento da espécie é maximizado com o uso de doses intermediárias de nitrogênio (N). O experimento foi realizado em Frederico Westphalen, Brasil, em delineamento de blocos ao acaso. Os tratamentos consistiram em diferentes doses de N aplicadas ao solo (0, 45, 90, 180 e 270 kg N ha-1). Utilizou-se ureia como adubo. Aos 180 dias após o plantio, foram avaliadas a sobrevivência, incremento em altura e diâmetro do coleto, alocação de massa seca foliar, galhos, radicular e total das plantas, bem com a fluorescência da clorofila. A sobrevivência das plantas foi de 100%. C. americana responde positivamente a aplicação de N em seu cultivo, com DMET estimada de 174,28 Kg ha-1 para crescimento em altura. O aumento na disponibilidade de N no solo também promove a maior alocação de massa seca aérea (DMET = 164,71 Kg ha-1). Por outro lado, no presente estudo, a fluorescência da clorofila a e o desenvolvimento do sistema radicular das plantas não foi influenciado pelos tratamentos testados.
On the Place and Meaning of World History in the Historiosophy of N.Ya. Danilevsky
Authors: Teslya Andrey А.
Published: September 2024

The historical and philosophical theory of cultural and historical types formulated in Danilevsky’s “Russia and Europe” is often interpreted as opposing the world history concept. This is contradicted by the fact that Danilevsky himself uses the world history concept as a working concept and, moreover, expresses his substantive judgements on this subject. In our opinion, this circumstance is not a contradiction on Danilevsky’s part. According to the approach outlined in the article, first of all “Russia and Europe” is a political treatise and the primary issue discussed in it (and the corresponding plan of consideration) is the problem of action and the subject of action. A cultural and historical type, fully developed, is formalized into a system of states or a state (with the former option being preferred by Danilevsky as providing more opportunities for development). Thus, they also act as subjects of action in themselves, but at the same time their system is also capable of acting as such (the system of international law, which in Danilevsky’s time is fundamentally limited, first as the system of international law of Christian nations and then, since the 1860s, of “civilized” ones). World history appears exclusively in terms of theoretical comprehension. It follows that it is impossible to act from world history — that is to speak on behalf of history. Danilevsky’s thesis itself appears to be complexly structured, disintegrating into two parts: the absence of such a historical subject as mankind and the impossibility to speak about “meaning in history” within the framework of positive scientific knowledge. It is noted that both parts of the thesis are autonomous and thus can be discussed separately, i.e. the refutation/rejection of one does not automatically mean the rejection of the other.

The Theatre of the Anthropocene : Concept, questions, performances
Authors: Raddatz Frank M.
Published: September 2024

This article explores the emergence and development of The Theatre of the Anthropocene, a unique artistic platform founded by Dr. Frank M. Raddatz and Prof. Dr. Antje Boetius in 2019. This ecological theatre operates at the intersection of art and science, aiming to depict and engage with the complex realities of the Anthropocene. The Anthropocene, a geological epoch marked by human influence on Earth, necessitates a scientifically informed theatre to convey the intricate interplay between human activities and the planetary ecosystem. The article delves into the theoretical foundations of this theatre, drawing on Bruno Latour’s critique of ecological disasters rooted in deficient epistemic concepts. It contrasts this with Bertolt Brecht’s scientific theatre and emphasizes the need for a transformation in the science stage to address contemporary environmental challenges. The role of feedback loops and the recognition of non-human entities as independent subjects in an Anthropocene aesthetic are central themes. The article also explores the potential of a spectral aesthetic, emphasizing the hybrid nature of the phenomena addressed, and presents the example of the production Lawyers of Nature. Furthermore, it discusses the urgent task of developing an ecological sensibility through art to instigate changes in societal attitudes toward planetary conditions.

A tuberculose é uma das doenças classificadas como doenças negligenciadas, que tem maior expansão do número de casos em ambientes de pobreza. Nessas condições muitas evidências retratam a correlação de casos dessa doença, com questões ligadas ao baixo desenvolvimento socioeconômico e baixos níveis de escolaridade. Objetivos: Descrever e analisar a relação entre os índices de escolaridade e renda econômica, com as taxas de infecção por tuberculose (TB) nas regiões brasileiras. Método: Trata—se de um estudo descritivo, que buscou a análise de artigos obtidos através das bases de dados MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online), LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde) e SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), além de buscas aos portais IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística) e DATASUS (Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde). Resultados: Os dados avaliados sugerem que pode haver uma relação entre o desenvolvimento de tuberculose e os níveis de educação e renda econômica, sobretudo para a manutenção dos quadros de tuberculose em comunidades com alta incidência. Ademais, o nível de escolaridade afeta o grau de conhecimento a respeito da doença, o que forma um ciclo de permanência em condições de pobreza e vulnerabilidade à tuberculose pulmonar. Conclusões: evidencia-se, uma possível correlação entre as maiores incidências de casos de tuberculose em regiões de menores índices de renda per capita e baixa escolaridade. Nesse contexto as redes de saúde são fundamentais para combater a tuberculose, tanto com a atenção primária em saúde (APS) realizando a conscientização da população e rastreamento da tuberculose, quanto com o encaminhamento dos pacientes a unidades de referência para tratamento individualizado.

Published: September 2024

A surdez unilateral (SSD) refere-se a uma condição na qual o indivíduo possui audição dentro dos padrões de normalidade em um ouvido e uma anacusia ou audição residual no outro. Apesar de ter audição dentro dos limiares de normalidade em um ouvido, pessoas com SSD apresentam dificuldade nas  habilidades de localizar a fonte sonora e percepção de fala, bem como dificuldade em  compreender a fala em ambientes com níveis de pressão sonora elevados, especialmente  quando o som é estimulado no ouvido afetado. O implante coclear (IC) é um dispositivo que auxilia na audição binaural, percepção e reconhecimento de fala e localização sonora. O objetivo deste estudo é descrever evidências sobre perda  auditiva unilateral no campo da audiologia, no intuito de avultar registros nas habilidades de localização sonora e percepção de fala na população adulta pós-período de ativação do implante coclear. Realizou-se revisão de literatura com pesquisas no periódico do portal da PubMed, por meio dos seguintes descritores: implante coclear, perda auditiva unilateral e percepção de fala, entre os anos de 2016 a 2021, com revisão crítica em 2024. Foram encontrados, nos anos pré-estabelecidos, 738 artigos, sendo, ao final, 10 artigos considerados relevantes e de qualidade suficiente para análise desta pesquisa. Concluiu-se que o IC proporciona evolução nos quesitos localização sonora; percepção de fala; reconhecimento de fala; atenuação de zumbido; e efeito sombra. Porém, a fim de se obter resultados indubitavelmente assertivos, são necessários mais estudos visando a aprofundar o tempo de  ativação do IC a longo prazo na abordagem da reabilitação da surdez unilateral.

Published: September 2024

Understanding the complex relationship between seasonal changes and pest dynamics is essential for establishing effective protection methods in contemporary agriculture and guaranteeing long-term agricultural sustainability and food security. The study was conducted in the Tiruvallur District of Tamil Nadu, India, which is characterized by a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons [1]. Shannon-Wiener Index and Simpson's Index biodiversity indices reflected the moderate to high pest diversity of species in the region. Values for Shannon-Wiener indexes ranged between about 1.93-1.95 for different species of insect pests, and Simpson's indexes were found to range between about 0.85-0.86. All these indices indicate a well-balanced insect pest community with high species richness and even distribution, which is necessary to maintain ecological resilience. The findings enrich our understanding of pest ecology in tropical agriculture and provide valuable insights applicable to other regions facing similar issues. The observed seasonal patterns emphasize the importance of ongoing monitoring and adaptive management to tackle the challenges posed by insect pests amid climate variability and agricultural intensification. Additionally, this research offers a thorough framework for comprehending and managing insect pest populations in the Tiruvallur District.

Immunoglobulins for intravenous use (IVIgs) and subcutaneous use (SCIgs) can prevent recurrent and severe infections in patients with secondary antibody deficiencies that are frequently linked to haematological/oncological malignancies as well as other clinical conditions and their respective treatments. Even so, as IVIgs and SCIgs are costly and their supply is limited, their clinical use must be optimised. The aim of this position paper is to provide structured practical guidance on the optimal use of IVIgs and SCIgs in secondary antibody deficiencies, particularly in haematological and oncological practice.
The authors agree that the occurrence of severe infections is a prerequisite for the use of IVIgs. Serum IgG levels in general as well as IgG subclass levels can be additional indicators of whether a patient could benefit from IVIgs. Responsiveness to vaccines can help to identify immunodeficiency. Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or multiple myeloma who are receiving respective treatment, especially B-cell depletion therapy, but also some patients with autoimmune diseases are prone to antibody deficiencies and need IVIgs. For the optimal use of IVIgs and to maximise their potential benefit, the indication must be individually assessed for each patient. As a primary treatment goal, the authors define a sufficient prophylaxis of severe infections, which can be supported by normalising IgG levels. If the initiated treatment is insufficient or linked to intolerable adverse reactions, switching the product within the class of IVIgs or changing to a different batch of the same product can be considered. Pausing treatment can also be considered if there are no infections, which happens more frequently in summer, but treatment needs to be resumed once infections return.
These structured recommendations for IVIg treatment in patients with secondary antibody deficiency may provide guidance for clinical practice and therefore help to allocate IVIgs to those who will benefit the most, without overusing valuable resources.

Optimized Multiplier Architectures for Enhanced Performance and Efficiency in MAC Units
Authors: Priyanka G , Gireesh N , Hemachandra S
Published: September 2024

This paper investigated the performance of Vedic multipliers in a 32-bit Multiplier-Accumulator Unit (MAC) by comparing Urdhva Tiryakbhyam and Nikhilam Sutras with various adder architectures. The goal was to identify the optimal combination of speed and resource efficiency. Urdhva Tiryakbhyam with CLA emerged as the fastest option, achieving a minimal delay of 0.709 ns. However, this came at the cost of higher resource utilization, measured in Logic Look-Up Tables (LUTs). Conversely, Nikhilam implementations generally required fewer LUTs, making them more resource-efficient, but they exhibited slightly slower performance. CLA consistently delivered the best delay for both Vedic multiplier types among the adder architectures. All the explored configurations are viable for practical implementation on Xilinx ISE 14.7. The key takeaway is that the choice between Urdhva Tiryakbhyam and Nikhilam and the specific adder architecture hinges on the application’s priorities.

Introduction: Results based financing has been proposed as an innovative reform to enhance systems performance in Uganda. Lira District is one of the districts implementing the national results-based financing (RBF) scheme under the Uganda Reproductive Maternal and Child Health services Improvement Project (URMCHIP). The diversity of relationships among various actors in RBF implementation underscores the need for mechanisms to ensure accountability among them. This was a case study which aimed at exploring the RBF accountability mechanisms, their implementation, and related factors in Lira District. Methodology: The study was a descriptive case study employing qualitative methods. The data collection methods included a) focus group discussions with the health workers from RBF facilities, b) key informant interviews with key actors in the RBF program at the MOH as well as in the district including district managers, health facility in charges, verifiers, members of the health facility management committees, c) document review of RBF documents, annual progress and audit reports. were analyzed thematically guided by a framework that explored the relationships and related accountability arrangements in RBF. Results: Several accountability relationships do exist among actors in RBF program and each relationship has associated accountability mechanisms for example, accountability mechanisms between MOH and the district include MOUs and business plans, while between the district and facilities mechanisms include reporting, data verifications, financial audits while display of results on notice boards, complaint boxes are mechanisms between the facility and the community. Regular support supervision and facility innovations such as meetings complimented RBF-specific designs. Challenges hindering smooth implementation of accountability mechanisms included infrequent financial support to enable regular support supervision/verification visits by Expanded District Health Management Team (EDHMT) and corruption tendencies. Conclusion: Implementation of accountability mechanisms in RBF in Lira is suboptimal due to the various RBF design and implementation challenges. There is need to support the EDHMT and facility managers’ in terms of capacity building and facilitation to do their work. Additionally, efforts need to be undertaken to address delayed disbursement of funds and corruption impeding the implementation of accountability mechanisms in the district.

The History of Two-wheeled Vehicle Dynamics in Japan and Subsequent Trends
Authors: Kageyama Ichiro
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this paper is to review research related to motorcycling conducted in postwar Japan, a country that was somewhat closed both linguistically and regionally. After World War II, many aeronautical engineers worldwide lost their jobs and moved on to other fields of study, especially in Japan, where aeronautical engineer jobs, including research, were banned and many aeronautical engineers shifted their research focus on transportation machinery, especially automotive engineering. Against this background, Japanese two-wheeled vehicles-related research has developed in its own unique way, while retaining a strong influence from aeronautical engineering. Because of the wide base of research on motorcycle kinematics, we first presented the literature for each study in the same line of research together. They are summarized in the following four areas：
(1) Experimental studies dealing with motorcycle motion and problem extraction.
(2) Research dealing with theoretical aspects such as the construction of equations of motion to solve experimental problems and to look at motion from the aspect of characteristics estimation.
(3) Research on various human-related issues, such as human control behavior modeling, vibration characteristics of the human body, HMI, and so on.
(4) Research on motorcycles as control objects and research focused on control systems.
Although there are many studies that straddle these two categories, they were generally grouped into one or the other.
A Data-driven Race Strategy Tool for Olympic Sailing Competitions

Published: September 2024

_

Venue-specific training has, over the years, proven to be a key asset for sailing teams performing at major championships and at the Olympics. A comprehensive understanding of the environmental features and possible weather scenarios in an outdoor sport like sailing can provide athletes with a significant strategic advantage. At the same time, GPS tracking is becoming a readily available technology that athletes use both in training and during races to analyse their own and their competitor's performance. This work couples environmental and meteorological data with GPS tracks for Olympic sailing classes, linking weather features with strategic decisions on the race track. We propose a greedy algorithm to search for an optimal route based on weather forecasts to present the best strategy prior to the race. Our results show the potential of this approach to provide valuable decision support for athletes in Olympic sailing competitions, demonstrated for the 470 Olympic class.

A quarter of a billion euros. That was the final price tag the last time German politicians and constitutional law professors assured us that a controversial German idea was compatible with EU law. Yet the Autobahn car toll for foreigners only pushed through by the Bavarian regional conservatives (CSU) and passed by the Federal government grand coalition of Conservatives and Social Democrats was – quite predictably from the outset – contrary to European law and cost German taxpayers many millions of euros in contractual penalties following clarification by the ECJ in 2019. The way the current refugee debate in Germany is handled could end up costing Germany, i.e. all of us, much more – not so much in euros, but in trust in the reliability of Germany in general, as an EU Member State, and more generally trust in the reliability of the law.

Published: September 2024

Part of the life of the society in which it develops and on which it has an impact perhaps not always fully assumed and respected, the school benefits both from the scientific structure and from the tendency - natural and necessary - to investigate the new. So how do we deal with the digital reality that students live in and that even the most conservative of teachers can't dissociate themselves from? Here is the plot of this work! In this context, the purpose of this work is to investigate and assess the impact of online schooling on Romanian grounds, following the opinions of the three active educational performers immerged in it the most: teachers, pupils, parents. The inquiry has followed the primary education learning path, as part of a deeper concern for this field, with an open eye towards both achievements and challenges. The questionnaires have given the possibility to all three categories to express personal perspectives and conclusions. The reasonable deduction of the present educational approach is that online courses represent a milestone in the functioning of Romanian schools, providing us with the ability to acknowledge the importance of both direct interaction and need to develop acquires in terms of technology.
The Use of E-Portfolios in Working with Pre-School Children
Authors: Manić Iva
Published: September 2024

The advancement of information technologies has contributed to shaping a different vision of the life of society as a whole. In the age of digitalisation, society faces various changes in communication, as well as in everyday life. In the context of pre-school education and upbringing, the use of technology is on the rise for the purposes of implementing numerous educational activities. Communication with parents, monitoring the children´s personal growth and their behaviour, discovering the talents and abilities of pre-school children, and potential opportunities for preventing undesirable behaviour comprise activities which can be significantly improved by resorting to e-portfolios. Accordingly, this research aimed to explore the importance and methods of use of e-portfolios in working with pre-school children, as well as to pin down the prevailing type of e-portfolio based on pre-school teachers´ experiences. The research included 138 pre-school teachers from the city of Pirot, Serbia. Research results show that pre-school teachers resort to e-portfolios in pre-school institutions mostly to monitor children´s personal growth and behaviour. Consequently, they use such e-portfolios to prevent undesirable behaviour (with a special focus on aggressive behaviour). Likewise, the results indicate that an in-depth assessment e-portfolio is predominantly used by pre-school teachers, while the least frequently used is the subject-specific e-portfolio.

This study examines the impact of road transport infrastructure quality on agricultural output in Nigeria from 2000 to 2022. This study used secondary data which were subjected to Augmented Dickey-Fuller Unit root test, ARDL bounds test approach for cointegration, and Canonical Cointegrating Regression method. Arable land (LNARAB) and average temperature (LNTEMP) depicted positive influence on agricultural output while road transport infrastructure quality (LNROADQ), average rainfall (LNRAIN) and carbon dioxide emission (LNCO2) exerted negative impact on agricultural output. Nevertheless, effective road network remains a vital factor to the economic prosperity of any country because of its role in driving commerce and transportation. As such, government of Nigeria should increase funding by increasing the budgetary allocation to the Federal Ministry in charge of transport infrastructure development. In the same manner, local production of bitumen should be encouraged so that the cost of road construction can reduced.
