Authors: Darwis Zulmahdi , Fathonah Woelandari , Hakim Lukmanul
Published: October 2023

Concrete is a crucial building material used for various structural components in buildings. It consists of cement, water, fine aggregate (sand), and coarse aggregate (gravel). This research focuses on the development of steel slag concrete as a replacement material for coarse aggregate, aiming to appropriately utilize steel slag waste, which poses environmental and health concerns. The study investigates the effect of substituting steel slag for coarse aggregate on the compressive strength of concrete and determines the optimal steel slag to normal concrete ratio. Concrete samples aged for three, seven, and 28 days were prepared using SNI 7656:2012, incorporating different proportions of steel slag as a substitute for coarse aggregate. Results indicate that variations of 20%, 40%, and 60% show improvements in comparison to normal concrete after three and seven days of curing. However, the variations of 80% and 100% are less commonly used than standard concrete. The increase in compressive strength of steel slag concrete aged 28 days, compared to normal concrete, for variations of 20%, 40%, and 60% is 1.54%, 3.00%, and 6.57%, respectively, while the reduction for variations of 80% and 100% is 7.93% and 18.80%. Based on the results, steel slag concrete with a 60% substitution of coarse aggregate exhibits the optimal compressive strength ratio in the mixture.

Roads play an important role in realizing the development and distribution of development results in certain areas. Pavement performance shows a decreased durability over time-related to how long the pavement construction can carry out its functions without experiencing fatal damage. This study aims to identify the effect of using steel slag as a substitute for filler with steel slag content of 0%, 1%, 2%, and 3% on concrete compressive and flexural strength values. This study used an experimental method by conducting experiments for testing the compressive and flexural strength of concrete specimens. The results showed that the use of steel slag as a substitute for filler obtained the average compressive strength value of MPa, 21.87 MPa, 22.17 MPa, and 28.47 MPa in concrete aged 28 days with steel slag content of 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% 25.07 respectively. The average flexural strength of concrete aged 28 days with steel slag content of 0%, 1%, 2% and 3% were 3.84 MPa, 2.83 MPa, 3.41 MPa, and 4.09 MPa respectively. The composition of 3% steel slag was the optimal composition as a filler replacement material. The pozzolanic properties of steel slag could increase the durability and density of the concrete specimen, but it required a long curing time and the increase in the initial strength of concrete slows down.
The Role of Thin Plies in Traditional Composite Structures Under Different Loading Conditions
Authors: Sebaey Tamer Ali
Published: October 2023

In the current paper, composites with both thin and thick plies are designed to meet specific criteria and tested under both in plane and out of plan critical loading conditions. The tests adopted are bolted joint, drop-weight impact, compression after impact, Charpy impact, bending, and bending after thermal aging. The results of the proposed design are compared with that of the traditional composites and show higher improvement in most of the load cases by using thin plies inside the lamination process with the traditional ones. The results showed that the two proposed alternatives with thin plies are of higher advantage for the bolted joints problem. On the other hand, the alternative with thin plies distributes to be surrounding each traditional ply is of high advantages for both the impact and the bending problems. The alternative with a core of thin plies at the middle of the laminate is of high advantage for the compression after impact.

El principal objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el potencial de cultivos de cobertura (CC: ballica y/o trébol blanco) para remediar un Mollisol bajo producción de uva de mesa en la zona central de Chile, afectado por cobre (Cu), con rendimientos de fruta directamente relacionados con las concentraciones de Cu en el suelo, debido a la aplicación regular y prolongada de fungicidas. Los horizontes superficiales de los sitios con un alto (LY: rendimiento bajo de fruta), intermedio (MY: rendimiento medio de fruta) y bajo (HY: rendimiento alto de fruta) disponible de Cu (CuDTPA) se dispusieron en un ensayo de invernadero, donde se sembraron los CC. Luego de 9 meses, se cosecharon para obtener contenidos de materia seca y Cu en sus tejidos (brotes y raíces), midiendo también las formas de Cu en los suelos. Se alcanzó una reducción de CuDTPA (67%) y Cu intercambiable (90%). Entre los sitios, la biomasa de brotes del trébol tiende a disminuir a medida que aumenta el Cu, mientras que la ballica sola o asociada disminuye su biomasa de brotes y aumenta su biomasa de raíces. En HY y MY no se detectaron diferencias estadísticas en la absorción de Cu entre ballica y la mezcla de ambas especies, pero se observó la mayor absorción de Cu para ballica en LY. Además, entre sitios, ballica exhibió una absorción de Cu similar y las raíces del trébol (solo o asociado) absorbieron más Cu en suelos más contaminados. En conclusión, los CC que crece en suelos más contaminados exhibieron la mayor relación de raíces: brotes, siendo esta menor en trébol que en ballica en todos los suelos. Se registraron los índices de tolerancia más altos en raíces de ballica (sola o asociada) en suelos más contaminados y el trébol resultó menos afectado por el estrés de Cu que ballica y que ambas especies mezcladas

The marriage of Maria née Grocholska and Witold Czartoryski in the light of newly discovered archival sources

The aim of this article was to verify the image of the betrothal and wedding of Maria Cecylia Grocholska and Witold Czartoryski, as well as the repercussions associated with it, in the light of the unknown historiographical archival sources on this subject and by analyzing previously known sources in the context of new facts about the entering into this marriage established on their basis. In the sources describing the circumstances of the marriage of Maria née Grocholska and Witold Czartoryski, I find several repeated events and facts, on the basis of which the chronology of those days is reconstructed. The first is a letter that Ksawera Grocholska sent to Emperor Nicholas I indirectly regarding the arrival of her future son-in-law to Podolia in order to meet her fiancée’s immediate family and obtain the blessing of the bride’s grandfather, Karol Brzozowski. Another theme is the decision to marry off the daughter to the son of a political criminal, thus condemning her to a life away from her relatives living in the Russian Empire. Next, it is necessary to look at the course of the ceremony to be able to consider whether the controversy surrounding this marriage will be reflected in the ceremony itself and the reception that followed it. Finally, fragments of Ksawera Grocholska’s diary and family correspondence discovered in the collections of the State Archives of the Vinnytsia Oblast in Ukraine were analyzed, which allowed to achieve the main goal of the article.

Twilight of the gods: The contribution to the views and attitudes of aristocracy towards the fall of the dynastic system in Central Eastern Europe at the end of the First World War

The Great War 1914–1918, irretrievably destroyed the political order in Europe, which had been maintained unchanged after 1871 with the conviction of the long duration extended into the Belle Époque. It left many traces – among others – in the memoirs and contemporary reports revealing on a micro-historical scale, some of the opinions and attitudes of the aristocracy, which become invisible on the macro-historical scale and are represented by considerable numbers of sources, which allows a reconstruction of important political and military decisions. This article is a contribution presenting – on the basis of a few examples – the end of the political influence of aristocracy in Central and Eastern Europe that coincided with the departure of monarchs from its political scene.

Ladies and their servants : three patterns of interaction in the works of the Goncourt brothers, Zola and Maupassant

It would be difficult to imagine a Realistic or Naturalistic novel without the character of a servant, the most frequently a female one. Actually, in the 19th century, the servant becomes much more visible and important, raising sometimes into the position of the main character. The Goncourt’s Herminie Lacerteux, Zola’s The Kill and Maupassants’s A Woman’s Life depict three servants whose destiny is strictly connected to their mistress’ life ; they all have a huge influence on what becomes of the three ladies. The paper aims to examine the three models of interaction of servants and their mistresses so as to prove the importance of the servant in the « human document » created by the writers.

Published: October 2023

The first decade of the revived functioning of local self‑government in Poland was a time of constructing system solutions, setting up the structure of local self‑governing bodies, and defining the catalogue of public tasks carried out by these units. Both then and in the years that followed, tools were developed to enable direct citizen participation in the governance of their local community. This study aims to outline the process of developing the tools for direct management of the municipality – the basic unit of local government – by its inhabitants over the last thirty‑plus years and, therefore, to present the most important procedures and mechanisms for citizen co‑determination on the shape of their small homelands.

Youth councils in local government units are among the tools for increasing civic participation of young people in their local communities. By acting in a youth council, a young person has a chance to influence his or her environment, gain experience in socio‑political activities, and meet similarly active people from all over Poland. There is great potential in the creation of such bodies, which, if exploited by local authorities, can significantly strengthen future civil society. This article presents the legal and actual framework for the operation of youth councils in Poland and discusses the 2021 amendment to the legislation in this area. It then presents an example of a two‑tier system of youth participation in civil society: the Youth Council of the City of Warsaw and the Youth District Councils in the same city. It presents examples of initiatives taken by the Youth Council of the Capital City of Warsaw and the Youth Council of the Śródmieście District of the Capital City of Warsaw within the last three years.

Published: October 2023

A participatory budget is also called a civic budget. Such budgets allow a city’s residents to allocate the pool of funds by voting on previously submitted projects. This is certainly one of the most interesting forms of participation, involving significant groups of citizens in active social life: through social discussions, they create projects that can develop and serve the local community. Civic budgets are gaining considerable popularity in Poland and, therefore, are becoming more and more controversial. The question is, to what extent are civic budgets actually civic? This paper presents the theoretical assumptions of the civic budget, and then conducts an analysis of the civic budget of the city of Gorlice.

Published: October 2023

The growing interest in remote work and flexible forms of employment is undoubtedly due to technological development (including changes in the labour market) and measures taken to counteract the COVID-19 pandemic. The experience of this period allowed us to observe certain regularities in the field of remote work, revealing its pros and cons. This article aims to summarize the current state of remote work regulations and the possibilities opened up by the home office model. The first part describes the remote work regulations laid out in Polish legislation and the current state of the labour market, which affects the interest in flexible forms of employment. The article then details the new part of the Labour Code, which also influences the current shape of remote work. Focusing on the home office form (i.e., working from home), the author presents an exemplary enumeration of the advantages and disadvantages of the flexible employment models observable today, noting the opportunities and threats resulting from their use. Due to the impact of remote work on various areas of an employee’s life, considerations are conducted on both legal and social grounds. The last section is a summary of flexible forms of work and the chances of their success in the light of post‑pandemic achievements. It also briefly presents the hybrid work model as a solution that takes advantage of remote employment opportunities while minimizing the visible risks.

Published: October 2023

The study of how different religious and political ideas from the past come together and clash due to changing beliefs and historical events is currently an important topic. This study explores the relationship between political theology and critical theology and their impact on religious thought and politics. The scope of the research includes a comprehensive historical analysis, a theological investigation, and a critical examination. The goal is a comprehensive understanding of the theological foundations of political and critical theology and how they manifested themselves in the specific socio-political landscape. Through case studies, textual analysis, and a comparative approach, this study seeks to discuss the practical implications of these theological perspectives. It also seeks to highlight not only the distinctive features of political and critical theology but also their convergence in shaping religious and political thought. The findings highlight the ongoing importance of religious thought in shaping historical events and emphasize the necessity for further critical examination of the connections between religion and politics.
Stereotypes and Views of Science among Elementary Students: Gender and Grade Differences
Authors: Ferreira Catarina , Valente Bianor
Published: October 2023

Several empirical studies reveal that students are poorly informed, and often hold stereotyped views of science and scientists. The present study aimed to investigate the Portuguese elementary school students' images of scientists and their work and the influence of gender and grade level on the development of these images. Two hundred and eighty-nine elementary school students enrolled in grades 1-5 in urban public schools participated in the study. Students were asked to draw a scientist and to answer questions about the drawing. The data collected were analyzed, considering three different features: stereotypical indicators, specialized research fields, and scientists' activity. Several descriptive and bivariate analyses were performed. Portuguese students tended to report the same stereotyped image of scientists described in other countries, and students' knowledge seems to be limited to a few fields of specialization and influenced by the pandemic context experienced during the DAST application. Moreover, the results showed differences according to the student's gender and grade level that may result, among other factors, from the influence of the atypical organization of the Portuguese education system in the first years of schooling.

Published: October 2023

In the United States, school curricula are often created and taught with distinct boundaries between disciplines. This division between curricular areas may serve as a hindrance to students’ long-term learning and their ability to generalize. In contrast, cross-curricular pedagogy provides a way for students to think beyond the classroom walls and make important connections across disciplines. The purpose of this paper is a theoretical reflection on our use of Expansive Framing in our design of lessons across learning environments within the school. We provide a narrative account of our early work in using this theoretical framework to co-plan and enact interdisciplinary mathematics and computer science (CS) tasks with a team of elementary school educators and school district personnel. The unit focuses on the concepts of exponents in mathematics and repeat loops as a control structure in computer science. Using a narrative approach, we describe what occurred during the collaborative planning of lessons and subsequent enactments in two fifth-grade classrooms and one computer lab and provide a practitioner‑oriented account of our experience.

Published: October 2023

Scientific argumentation skills are a key component of science learning practices needed by students in the 21st century. Where the essence of scientific argumentation is to support the argument with evidence and reasoning and then refute the claims and evidence of the opponent's argument. Supporting arguments with evidence and reasoning can be facilitated through inquiry activities. Meanwhile, refuting claims and evidence from opposing arguments can be facilitated through debate activities. Inquiry and debate can be a solution to improving students' scientific argumentation skills. This study aims to prove the truth of this statement through a systematic literature review by applying the PRISMA 2020 criteria which are expanded by bibliometric analysis with the help of the VOSviewer software. The results of the study show that research related to inquiry, debate, and their influence on students' scientific argumentation skills has a pretty good trend. In Indonesia the research climate is still quite good, research topics are still in great demand, and it is very possible to carry out research innovations on related topics. Another finding is that the integration of inquiry and debate in science learning can be a potential strategy to improve students' scientific argumentation skills.

Published: October 2023

This mixed-methods study examines high school students' self-confidence, social media use, and internet addiction. The data were collected from 340 high school students in Samsun during the 2019-2020 academic year. Participants completed self-confidence, internet addiction, and social media use scales, and interviews. Descriptive analyses, t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation tests were used. Results showed that self-confidence levels varied among participants, and 6.5% of participants were addicted to the Internet. Self-confidence levels were higher among 9th-grade students, while social media use differed significantly among 11th-grade students. No significant differences were found by gender. Internet addiction increased as social media use and self-confidence levels decreased. Qualitative findings revealed that participants use the internet and social media for various purposes, and some struggle to control their internet use. These results suggest that social media use, self-confidence levels, and age predict internet addiction. Future studies could explore these variables in more detail.
INFLUENCE OFMORPHOMETRIC RELIEF INDICATORS ON THE RECREATIONAL POTENTIAL BETWEENMAZYMCHAI AND SHINCHAYI
Authors:   Lankaran State University, MAMMADOVA G.Q.
Published: October 2023

The study area has rich natural resources in terms of tourism and recreation. The places of treatment and rest in Azerbaijan were highly appreciated in studies conducted at the beginning of the last century. Factors such as rich customs and traditions, the hospitality of the peoples living here also open up great opportunities for the development of the tourism sector. However, despite such a rich tourist resource, the morphometric indicators of the relief influence their development in different ways. Proper placement, assimilation, as well as the possibilities of using these resources, highlight the importance of studying the influence of the relief more deeply and accurately in specific areas. The complex geological and geomorphological structure of the study area has led to uneven morphometric indicators of the relief. For this reason, the region differs in the activity of natural disasters, such as floods, landslides, avalanches, etc. Since the region differs in tourism potential, in such a situation it is advisable to take into account the morphometric indicators of the relief when building tourist facilities in the area between Mazymchai and Shin-chai.

Published: October 2023

Operation technology systems applied in power plants, refineries, nuclear plants have become a key element of critical infrastructure. The protection of critical infrastructure facilities is of utmost importance because of their vital importance to the state. Initially, the security of control systems was implied, taking into account the independent nature of these installations and the poor transparency of the functioning of the system. However, the need soon arose to connect to information technology (IT) systems, with the aim of expanding the possibilities of monitoring and managing OT systems. This has increased the availability, but also the exposure of critical process data, which introduces new challenges in maintaining safety in plant systems. Accordingly, this paper analyzes the potential threats to the operation of the plant system, as well as the measures that can be taken to minimize the risks. The paper presents the role of network segmentation and division into ISA-95 levels, the application of the MQTT protocol for secure communication, as well as the importance of the existence of a "demilitarized zone" on the example of a local network of one plant.

Celiac disease is defined as an autoimmune disorder that is the result of a reaction of adaptive immune response of sensitive individuals, to gluten-containing cereals. The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional habits of patients with the diagnosis and people without the diagnosis, to evaluate the importance of adhering to a strict gluten-free diet, recognizing properly declared gluten-free products and to assess the quality of life of people diagnosed with celiac disease. Anthropometric and dietary tests were conducted through a survey by a total of 96 people, 56 respondents were diagnosed with celiac disease, while the remaining 40 respondents were undiagnosed, and of whom 32 were on a gluten-free diet. The majority of respondents (58.92%) have an adequate level of nutrition; however, 30.37% of respondents are overweight, including the degree of obesity in four cases. The most consumed cereals are rice, corn and white ready-made gluten-free flour mixtures, while the respondents consume the least pseudo-cereals, whole grains and micro-cereals. Within the survey CD-QOL (Celiac Disease Quality of Life) we assessed the quality of life, general the attitude of patients according to the given claims related to celiac disease. The obtained results led us to the conclusion that the dietary habits of celiac patients are somewhat worse than those of the undiagnosed group, although these are very small differences. It has been found that there is some confusion among people diagnosed regarding properly declared and certified gluten-free products, while most respondents believe that a strict gluten-free diet is the only effective treatment for the disease.

The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity of earthworms in different habitats (meadow, humid meadow, oak and beech forest). A total of nine earthworm species belonging to six genera were found in the studied habitats. In the studied habitats, the earthworm fauna was found to be different: the beech forest was richer in earthworms (6 taxa), while the oak forest was poorest in earthworms (3 taxa). The earthworm abundance was higher in the humid meadow (34 individuals), while was lower in the beech forest (17 individuals). A combination of the alpha diversity index (Shannon-Weaver, Evenness, and Berger-Parker) and beta diversity (Jaccard’s coefficient of similarity) were used to determine the impact of studied habitats on the earthworm fauna. Shannon’s diversity and Shannon’s evenness indices had higher values in the beech forest/humid meadow, while the Berger-Parker index of dominance had higher values in oak forests. Jaccard’s index of similarity showed the earthworm fauna was clearly separated between the oak forest, meadow, humid meadow and beech forest. The results of these indices confirmed that vegetation cover strongly influences the diversity of earthworm fauna.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of 68Ga-DOTATE PET/CT on the management of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Eighteen patients (9 males and 9 females) with MTC who underwent 68Ga-DOTATE PET/CT for elevated calcitonin(Ct) levels were included in this study. Histopathological data, laboratory findings, 68Ga-DOTATE PET/CT findings were evaluated for each patient. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT imaging findings were negative in 5 of 18 patients (27.8%) and positive in 13 of 18 patients (72.2%). The mean Ct level of patients with positive findings was higher than others. 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT was insufficient for detecting liver metastases in two patients who exhibited hypermetabolic uptakes consistent with solitary metastases in the liver on 18FDG-PET/CT. We believe that 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT plays an important role in the management of MTC patients with recurrent or metastatic disease. Its sensitivity is directly proportional to the levels of serum Ct. However, it may have limitations in detecting liver metastases.
Comparison of the Nutritional Value of Cow’s Milk and Plant-Based Milks
Authors: TALAY MARAŞ Rabia
Published: October 2023

Malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are observed among people in many developing countries. The high cost of cow's milk and poverty make it difficult for people to access nutritious food. For this reason, low-cost foods that can be an alternative to cow's milk are important. In addition, the fact that cow's milk causes lactose intolerance, high cholesterol, constipation and bloating in some individuals has led people to other alternatives. Apart from these, alternatives for vegan individuals have begun to be considered. All these reasons have increased the demand for alternative milk of plant origin worldwide. Plant-based milks have been the subject of research with different names in the literature. For example: vegetable milk, non-dairy milk, imitation milk, dairy substitute.

NMR: Mein Kompass in der Organischen und Medizinischen Chemie
Authors: Kessler Horst
Published: October 2023

What a Grand Tour: from remote Suhl behind the iron curtain to top places of the world. Whenever Horst Kessler had mastered a research field he moved on—against common practice in science. He therefore not only became famous in NMR spectroscopy but also in Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry. Born in 1940 he was always competitive: first as a swimmer and later as a chemist. He started to learn the profession in East Germany’s Leipzig and continued in Tübingen; in 1971 he moved to Frankfurt to become the youngest full professor in Germany. Later he established the world-renowned Bavarian NMR Center at TUM, Munich. To study the structure and dynamics first of small and later of biologically interesting large molecules—peptides and proteins—became his hallmark. Horst Kessler leaves a lasting impression not only through his scientific results but also through the scientific school he built.

Introduction: As a country with many small islands bordering other countries, Indonesia has considerable potential for migrant smuggling practices. The smuggling of illegal immigrants is a type of global crime.Purposes of the Research: aims to identify and analyze international law governing the smuggling of transnational migrants as well as to identify and analyze the accountability of perpetrators who smuggle transnational migrants.Methods of the Research:  This legal research uses normative juridical research, case approach, statutory approach, and conceptual approach, primary and secondary legal materials, legal material procedures using primary legal materials which are then associated with secondary legal materials and processing and analysis of legal materials using qualitative descriptive analysis.Results of the Research: The results showed that the international legal arrangements that regulate migrant smuggling are the Palermo Convention (UN Convention / UNTOC) of 2000 concerning Transnational Crime (People Smuggling), the Migrant Workers Convention (International Labor Organization / ILO) of 1990, the Protocol for the Eradication of Smuggling involving People Smuggling 2000, and the perpetrators' accountability using the National Law or Indonesian Law, namely Law No. 6 of 2011 concerning Immigration.
A relação com o saber e a formação de professores de Ciências da Natureza e Matemática: o que os estudos nos revelam
Authors:   , Thomaz José Gomes
Published: October 2023

O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar, a partir da literatura, as implicações da teoria da relação com o saber para a formação docente de professores de Ciências da Natureza e Matemática do Ensino Médio, com base em um Estado do Conhecimento sobre o tema. As questões que nortearam a investigação se encontram assim definidas: como as produções científicas têm tratado a questão do vínculo entre a teoria da relação com o saber ao aprendizado das Ciências da Natureza e Matemática? Quais as contribuições da teoria da relação com o saber para o campo da formação de professores dessas áreas? Quais elementos da teoria da relação com o saber emergem nesses campos? Dentre os autores que embasaram nossas análises estão Charlot (2013; 2005; 2001; 1996), principal responsável pela elaboração da teoria da relação com o saber, Tardif (2012), Cachapuz, et al. (2011) e Carvalho e Gil-Pérez (2006) devido às contribuições ao campo da formação de professores, ensino de ciências e fracasso escolar. A pesquisa desenvolvida é de natureza qualitativa, fazendo uso do tipo de pesquisa bibliográfica (GIL, 2002) envolvendo a construção de um Estado do Conhecimento (MOROSINI; FERNANDES, 2014) sobre o tema, correspondente ao período de 2000 a 2022. Foram analisadas 24 produções acadêmicas, dentre as quais, 16 dissertações e oito teses, publicadas sobre a temática nesse período. Como resultados, verificamos uma tendência das pesquisas a incidirem no âmbito da formação inicial; a primazia das pesquisas qualitativas; o emprego diversificado de métodos para coleta de dados, tais como entrevistas, balanços de saber, realização de estudos de casos e grupos focais; focalizando os sujeitos, os sentidos e significados atribuídos ao aprender e ao ensinar. Verificamos, também, que tais pesquisas vêm sendo desenvolvidas por uma quantidade reduzida de pesquisadores, com maior sustentação pelos pesquisadores em Ensino de Matemática, na região Nordeste do país. Por fim, concluímos que a relação com o saber se vincula ao campo da formação de professores de Ciências da Natureza e Matemática, propiciando a compreensão do processo formativo como espaço e lugar de relações produtoras de sentido, no qual as experiências de vida, as expectativas, a identidade e as relações afetivas se entrelaçam. Dessa forma, compreender a relação dos professores com o saber implica, portanto, em considerar esses diferentes aspectos e as formas específicas que o saber se apresenta face a diferentes situações. Sendo fruto desses múltiplos processos, a formação de professores de Ciências da Natureza e Matemática, deve ser realizada considerando uma pluralidade construtiva e não apenas como uma simples transmissão de conhecimentos. Palavras-chave: Formação de professores. Relação com o saber. Formação de professores de Ciências da Natureza e Matemática.

Sabe-se que a seleção de pessoal para um cargo é um dos principais fatores para a manutenção da vantagem competitiva de uma organização. Por se tratar de um processo complexo, que envolve diversas alternativas e critérios, é desejável a adoção de ferramentas que sejam capazes de reduzir a sua subjetividade, aumentar a sua eficiência e transparência, auxiliando assim os tomadores de decisão a escolher as melhores alternativas. Nesse contexto, este trabalho tem o objetivo de propor uma ferramenta que apoie gestores no processo de seleção de pessoal, utilizando para isso a metodologia de Apoio Multicritério à Decisão. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo de caso em uma Organização Militar, em que o método escolhido para a criação da ferramenta foi o PROMÉTHÉE. A ferramenta criada forneceu informações relevantes que auxiliaram o processo de tomada de decisão quanto a seleção do pessoal para os cargos da organização objeto do estudo.
