A evolução do recorte de cor ou raça como indicador de políticas públicas no Brasil: visibilização e invisibilização da população negra brasileira
Authors: Gregório Heloisa Gabriela , Guimarães Peres Roberta
Published: August 2024

A desigualdade racial é uma característica de longa data e ainda estruturalmente nociva na sociedade brasileira, impactando a qualidade de vida de sua população. Assim como dados demográficos, como os produzidos através dos censos nacionais, são importantes para orientar políticas públicas para o bem-estar da população em geral, o recorte por cor ou raça desses dados é fundamental para a produção de indicadores étnico-raciais, adequados para focalizar políticas públicas de promoção da igualdade racial. O presente artigo buscou investigar a evolução histórica do recorte cor ou raça na produção de indicadores de política pública no Brasil. Para além da afirmação relativamente recente do Estado brasileiro quanto à importância da produção de dados étnico-raciais, abordou-se o histórico secular de produção desses dados através dos censos nacionais, constatando a existência de um padrão pendular de visibilização (limitada, relativizada e instrumental) e invisibilização da população negra brasileira. Dinâmica ainda observável em políticas públicas recentes, como a obrigatoriedade de coleta de dados administrativos por recorte de cor ou raça no âmbito do SUS, imposta pela Política Nacional de Saúde Integral da População Negra, de 2009; e a decisão pela não aplicação dessas informações na priorização da vacinação contra a COVID-19.

Published: August 2024

Malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solution using silver nanoparticle (AgNP) stabilized with sodium tripolyphosphate cross-linked chitosan is reported in this study. Silver nanoparticle prepared was characterized by Fourier transform Infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), UV-visible spectrophotometer and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystalline nature of the AgNP was revealed with XRD. The cubic face-centered structure of the synthesized silver nanoparticle was confirmed. This was supported by the observed sharp four diffraction peaks with peaks intense appeared at 2? = 38.09°, 44.15°, 64.67°, and 77.54°. However, the SEM micrograph of the synthesized AgNP revealed the spherical shape of AgNP with a non-uniform granular shape attributed to bio-mediated ionic gelation process. The surface of the synthesized AgNP has a spherical shape and slightly elongated with a big tendency to aggregate and form larger particle clusters. Whereas, FTIR spectra of AgNP gave peaks at 1054 – 1645 cm- 1 suggesting the presence of phosphonate linkages between ammonium, -NH3+ of chitosan and –PO32- moieties of NaTPP during cross linking process. The adsorption study was carried out under different conditions such as, pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, temperature and initial concentration of dye to determine the ideal conditions and the maximum adsorption capacities. The results indicated that increase in temperature had very minimal effect on the adsorption process. The silver nanoparticle was effective in the removal of malachite green in acidic medium. This observation may be due to strong adsorption of the dye on the acidic surface of silver nanoparticle adsorbent by an acid-base interaction mechanism between the adsorbents and the adsorbates. Thus, the adsorption mechanism can be best described by electrostatic interaction. Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin model gave a better fit to adsorption isotherms while Dubinin Radushkevich model is not appropriate for the adsorption process. The kinetic study of malachite green onto silver nanoparticle adsorbents showed that the adsorption kinetics followed both the pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order rate. The results obtained from this study indicate that silver nanoparticle could be utilized as effective adsorbents for the removal of dyes from aqueous solution.

Authors: Hanyfa Sari Nur
Published: August 2024

Competition often occurs between individuals to achieve a certain position or position, such as obtaining postgraduate scholarships, applying for jobs, and pursuing important government positions. In addition to research from the aspects of ability and educational background, experience is also one of the factors supporting a person to succeed in achieving the position he wants. To anticipate manipulation or change, digital files can be a solution. Of course, even digital files still need security in order to ensure safety and authenticity (there are no changes to the contents of the file). Therefore we need a solution to this problem, one of the cryptographic techniques that can be used is a digital signature. Choosing a digital signature as a solution is considered very appropriate, because the digital signature is a sign on the data, which can ensure that the data is real (unchanged). So that by applying the digital signature technique to the award certificate, authentication and identification of ownership of the award certificate can be conceptually guaranteed. To protect the maximum validity of a digital file with a digital signature technique, the algorithms that will be used are the SHA-1 and RSA algorithms which are considered sufficient to ensure the security of a digital file.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a problem with no ideal solution. Unfortunately, there is still no unified opinion about etiopathogenesis of genital prolapses in general and cystocele in particular. The aim of the study is to increase the effectiveness of surgical treatment in patients with symptomatic cystocele, by double plication of the pubocervical fascia. Materials and methods. The study included 112 patients with symptomatic cystocele of grade II–IV according to POP-Q system, who underwent different variants of surgical treatment method: I – comparison group (n=60) – traditional anterior colporrhaphy; II – the main group (n=52) by the method of double plication of pubocervical fascia. The average age of the patients of the studied cohort was 53.2±9.6 years. The duration of follow-up after surgical treatment was 12 months. The frequency of intra- and postoperative complications, as well as anatomical (recurrence rate) and functional (levelling of cystocele symptoms) treatment results were evaluated. Study. Patients in the study cohort did not differ in age, anthropometric data, social status and clinical characteristics of the underlying disease (p≥0.05). Analysis of early postoperative complications, as well as anatomical and functional results of treatment demonstrated statistically significant advantages of surgical correction of cystocele by double plication of the pubocervical fascia, compared to traditional anterior colporrhaphy (p<0.05). Conclusions. Double pleating of the pubocervical fascia appears to be an effective and safe surgical technique for the treatment of patients with symptomatic cystocele: it significantly (p<0.05) improves anatomical and functional outcomes of treatment and 2.5 times reduces the recurrence rate during 12 months of follow-up, compared to traditional anterior colporrhaphy.

Authors: Ding Chu Sheng , Chieng Tiong Koh , Wong Chih Siong , Wong Shi Yee , Palis Prescilla Anak
Published: August 2024

The relationship management between buyers and suppliers has always been an indispensable issue in the construction industry. In order to obtain direct and/or indirect benefits of good buyer-supplier relationship, construction firms are required to put in efforts in maintaining the relationship. Some of the benefits of effective buyer-supplier relationship management include good project quality, on time project delivery and reasonable construction cost. However, it is highlighted in the literature that the buyer-supply relationship in Malaysia are often poorly maintained due to lack of trust, ineffective communication and poor collaboration. Poor relationship may bring forth negative impacts such as delay, cost overrun and substandard material quality during the project delivery process. In Sarawak, many projects were also being affected due to poor buyer-supplier relationship management. Therefore, the present research aimed to study the factors affecting buyer-supplier relationship in Sarawak construction industry from the contractors’ perspective. A quantitative research approach was adopted in the present research. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to Grade 7 contractors in Sarawak to collect primary data. The collected data was subsequently analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS SEM)approach.Based on the generated results, “commitment”, “trust” and “quality” are three factors that showed significant relationship with buyer-supplier relationship. The findings of the present research would contribute to enhancing the relationship between buyers and suppliers and thereby improving the performance of construction projects in Sarawak.

Education is one of the important keys in human development. In this regard, the evaluation on the fulfillment of national standards and technical standards for minimum educational services refers to the objectives of the implementation of the education system. Some evaluation studies that have been carried out by the government and other studies related to education tend to be on the phase of a system (input – process – output). Hence, through the study the researchers would like to focus at the process stage in the implementation of the education system at the basic education level. The instrument developed to measure the level of readiness for the implementation of the basic education system is used as the variable Y. The value of the Y variable is obtained from the integration on the development of 7 basic variables from the ISO 21001:2018 Standard with SNP and STPMP which must be fulfilled by the Regency/City Level II Government. The obstacles faced by the Regency/City Level II Government in meeting the Technical Standards for Minimum Education Services are turned into variables X. Variables X and Y are modeled with a cartesian diagram to capture the level of resilience in the implementation of the basic education service system. The findings of the research using the mixed method at the Regency of Sleman show that the Regency is still in the safe zone of the educational field diagram analysis model which has developed based on the Cartesian diagram. These findings thus imply that the Regency of Sleman Government is able to meet the Technical Standards for Minimum Basic Education Services with the category “Highly Feasible” and zero obstacle has interfered/hindered the implementation of the basic education system because the Standards are still at the Minimum level.
Anthropologie du patrimoine
Authors: Heintz Monica
Published: August 2024

Au début du 21e siècle, on assiste à l’éclosion d’un champ de recherches dynamique et socialement engagé autour de la notion de patrimoine, qui a la particularité d’instaurer un dialogue - souvent interculturel- entre les milieux académiques, les milieux culturels et les communautés ou publics divers. Cet article présente trois développements contemporains spécifiques: la collaboration des anthropologues au sein d’un champ interdisciplinaire d’études critiques du patrimoine ; un (ré)investissement des musées et centres d’arts et d’archives à échelle locale, nationale et internationale ; l’ouverture vers les publics à travers de formes célébrées de science participative et de science ouverte, ou, plus décriées, comme le tourisme.

Authors: Herholdt-Lomholdt Sine , Blenker Per , Mousing Camilla
Published: August 2024

This paper stems from a two-year phenomenological action research project named Innovative and Entrepreneurial Formation (Bildung) in Professional Bachelor Education. The paper explores an entrepreneurial teaching experiment aimed at combining educational ideals of entrepreneurship education with educational ideals necessary to become a professional nurse. The educational ideals aimed for is sensitivity, imagination and courage to act. Through phenomenological analysis of one teacher`s lived experience description and a phenomenological interview with a student participating in the teaching experiment, the paper inquiries into modes of Being among students participating in the experiment from an ontological perspective. Furthermore, the paper investigates how these modes of Being can relate to entrepreneurial as well as professional purposes. By that, the teaching experiment is an example of a cross-fertilization between entrepreneurship education and professional education that allows both to grow. The analysis reveals astonishment as a central existential experience of Being, while participating in the specific teaching experiment. The study also shows a phenomenological association between astonishment and openness, which entrepreneurship educators have searched for pedagogies to establish.
Politics of Disarmament: A Case Study of North Korea and Iran
Authors: Nyenwe Emem , Uchendu Jennifer
Published: August 2024

The politics of disarmament in North Korea and Iran is a complex interplay of global power dynamics, regional security concerns, and the pursuit of national interests. Both nations' endeavours to develop nuclear capabilities have spurred intense international scrutiny, prompting multifaceted negotiations and diplomatic efforts to curb their nuclear programmes. North Korea's persistent pursuit of nuclear capabilities has sparked global tensions, leading to extensive diplomatic engagements involving key stakeholders. Despite intermittent breakthroughs, achieving complete denuclearization remains elusive, reflecting the challenges of negotiating with a regime known for its unpredictability. Similarly, Iran's nuclear ambitions have positioned it at the heart of a protracted diplomatic standoff. The 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear programme but faced complications following the US withdrawal and subsequent sanctions, highlighting the intricate dynamics of geopolitical interests and regional rivalry. The quest for disarmament in both countries navigates a complex web of historical animosities, domestic politics, and security concerns. Achieving meaningful progress requires delicate diplomacy, fostering trust, addressing underlying security issues, and offering credible incentives for disarmament. Understanding the politics of disarmament in North Korea and Iran requires a nuanced comprehension of global power shifts, regional complexities, and the delicate balance between national sovereignty and international obligations. Resolving these challenges demands sustained multilateral engagement and a comprehensive approach that acknowledges the intricate interdependencies shaping global security.

Despite sales growth signifying a company's ability to expand its market share and increase profitability, the Nigerian experience remains a concern due to declining sales growth recorded for fast- moving consumer goods (FMCG) firms. Thus, this paper examined whether the entrepreneurial mindset of managers/owners could affect the sales growth of FMCG firms. The study used the cross-sectional survey research design in retrieving primary data from 383 top, middle, and low-level management staff of selected food and beverages firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. The stratified random sampling technique was applied while the reliability and validity tests on the adapted questionnaire were conducted before implementing it for this paper. Results from the multiple regression analysis revealed that entrepreneurial mindset combined components had a positive and significant effect on sales growth [Adj.R2= 0.065, F(4, 379) = 7.671, p<0.05]. However, only emotional intelligence had an individual significant effect. Fostering and nurturing an entrepreneurial mindset within the organization by encouraging employees to think creatively, take calculated risks, and invest in market research to identify emerging trends to tailor products and strategies to meet evolving market demands for enhance sales growth is core for management strategic plans.

Undernourishment is endemic in countries where both food deficiency and low income co-exist, and this is the bane of the countries in the sub-Saran African countries. In this present study, the focus is to examine whether food security and income level reduce the prevalence of undernourishments in the ECOWAS countries. This study used annual data series that covered the period from 2012 to 2020 and under the framework of panel random effect model. Results of the study revealed that while food access and per capita income had negative a n d s i g n i f i c a n t i m p a c t o n t h e p r e v a l e n c e o f undernourishments, the impact of food availability was negative but none-significant. Also, while food importation had a none-significant positive impact on the prevalence of undernourishments, the impact of food production index was negative but none-significant. Consequently, the study recommends that there is need for the governments in the ECOWAS countries to formulate policies to improve food production through incentivizing small-holder farmers. It is equally needful to address the issue of income inequality, while food importation should be limited to foods that have nutritional values and which can also be affordable.
