From the explicit to the subtle: is there discrimination perceived by the LGBTI+ consumer in Brazil?
Authors: Cardoso Janaína Gularte , Rocha Rudimar Antunes da
Published: September 2022

Abstract This research analyzed the discrimination perceived by LGBTI+ consumers in Brazil and the emotional results of the discriminatory process. It investigates the theme using the Perceived Customer Discrimination metric by Klinner and Walsh (2013), which addresses the relationship between different types of discrimination (explicit, at the service level, and subtle) with the emotional results of frustration and helplessness. It is characterized as a quantitative study and used an online survey with a sample of 210 Brazilian participants, mostly residents of the southern region of the country. Data were analyzed via structural equation modeling and indicate that subtle discrimination is the most observed. Explicit and subtle discrimination are predictors of frustration and helplessness, and the construct with the greatest intensity of perceived discrimination is included in the dimension of discrimination in the act of care, with attitudes of contempt for identifying as LGBTI+. In theoretical terms, it elucidates the intersection between sexual diversity and consumer discrimination. In social terms, it provides evidence that can be used as subsidies for developing actions and campaigns aimed at preventing and combating violence and discrimination against LGBTI+ people. From a managerial perspective, it encourages marketers to realize the importance and experiences of these consumers and helps to manage inclusion, equality, and diversity.

Distorções comunicativas em relatórios de sustentabilidade: uma análise pautada no pensamento habermasiano
Authors: Inocêncio Ewerton Roberto , Favoreto Ricardo Lebbos
Published: September 2022

Resumo Relatórios de sustentabilidade constituem meios de expressão do que organizações entendem por sustentabilidade. Visões críticas têm apontado para um possível uso manipulativo das práticas de relato. A presente pesquisa, baseando-se no pensamento de Jürgen Habermas, aplica a noção de distorção comunicativa para analisar relatórios de sustentabilidade de 4 corporações listadas na carteira ISE 2020, perscrutando, para isso, distorções de 4 ordens: verdade, sinceridade, legitimidade e inteligibilidade. Os resultados alertam para o risco de que os relatórios instrumentalizem a ideia de sustentabilidade, nela imprimindo a visão corporativa. Tal modo de proceder, relevando o entendimento mútuo, retira a sustentabilidade do âmbito discursivo (habermasiano), esvaindo-a de sentido.
Negócios inclusivos liderados por mulheres empreendedoras: busca por avanços teóricos e empíricos
Authors: IIZUKA EDSON SADAO , COSTA HEISE SANTOS
Published: September 2022

Resumo O presente estudo tem por objetivo contribuir com reflexões teóricas e empíricas sobre as mulheres empreendedoras sob o prisma do feminismo pós-estruturalista e os negócios inclusivos com base na literatura acadêmica sobre pobreza e exclusão social. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratória, com início na triangulação entre o referencial teórico, a análise de conteúdo de entrevistas em profundidade e dados secundários obtidos de documentos. Os resultados dessa investigação corroboram estudos anteriores sobre as características dos empreendedores sociais e trazem indícios complementares à literatura acadêmica. Foram encontradas indicações de que as empreendedoras em negócios inclusivos atuam apoiadas na construção de parcerias que prezam pela escuta e o compartilhamento de decisões. Essas mulheres têm formação acadêmica superior e valorizam o aprendizado, priorizam trabalhar com outras mulheres e atuam em redes de mulheres tanto formais como informais. Além disso, dependendo do tipo de negócio, do público-alvo atendido e da forma como as empreendedoras entendem suas organizaçõ es, foi possível identificar quatro tipos de negócio inclusivo: i) inclusão de consumidores da base da pirâmide; ii) inclusão de pessoas por meio da mão de obra, prestação de serviços e fornecedores na cadeia de valor; iii) inclusão por meio da defesa e garantia de direitos; e iv) aqueles que visam à autoinclusão. Os dois últimos são incipientes na literatura acadêmica e, ao mesmo tempo, ilustram desafios e problemas de construção social de gênero e questões de ordem estrutural na sociedade brasileira.
Female-led Inclusive businesses: a search for theoretical and empirical advances
Authors: IIZUKA EDSON SADAO , COSTA HEISE SANTOS
Published: September 2022

Abstract This study contributes with theoretical and empirical reflections on female entrepreneurs from the perspective of post-structuralist feminism and on inclusive business based on the academic literature on poverty and social exclusion. The study consisted of exploratory qualitative research based on the triangulation of the theoretical framework, content analysis of in-depth interviews, and secondary data obtained from documents. The results of this research corroborate previous studies regarding the characteristics of social entrepreneurs and offer complementary insights to the academic literature. The study shows that female entrepreneurs in inclusive businesses act based on building partnerships, valuing listening, and sharing decisions. They have a higher level of education, value learning opportunities, prioritize working with other women, and work in both formal and informal women’s networks. In addition, based on the type of business, the target public, and the way entrepreneurs understand their organizations, it was possible to identify four types of inclusive businesses: (i) inclusion of consumers from the base of the pyramid; (ii) inclusion of people through labor, service provision and suppliers in the value chain; (iii) inclusion through advocacy and guarantee of rights, and (iv) those aimed at self-inclusion. The last two areincipient in the academic literature and, at the same time, illustrate challenges and problems of social gender construction and structural issues in Brazilian society.
Prevalence of urinary incontinence subtypes in women
Authors: Moser Auristela Duarte de Lima , Nogueira Nisangela do Vale , Thomé Bruna Isadora , Paz Luana Pereira
Published: September 2022

Abstract Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is present in the lives of a considerable number of women worldwide. This condition and its associated factors have been sufficiently investigated in recent years, however, prevalence estimates are still not fully clarified, as UI is seen as stigmatizing in a cultural context, and the search for treatment is not always considered by affected individuals. So, this dysfunction and its subtypes must be better understood so that it is possible to alleviate its consequences. Objective: To identify the prevalence of urinary incontinence subtypes, in women from a reference clinic in a public hospital in Curitiba, PR, Brazil. Methods: This was an observational and analytical study, with 227 women affected by UI, evaluated by means of a questionnaire including sociodemographic and general health information, in addition to defining the UI subtype. The SPSS version 25 was used for statistical analysis. Results: The patients presented a mean age of 60.33 ± 12.26 years. Mixed UI was the prevalent subtype (87.2%; n = 198), followed by stress (7.5%; n = 17), and urge (5.3%; n = 12). Among women with mixed UI, 60.6% had only completed elementary school, 59.1% were housewives, and 87.6% had experienced two or more pregnancies. Conclusion: Outlining UI subtypes, and the general and obstetric characteristics of the studied population enables the development of coping strategies for this condition, ranging from planning, diagnosis and treatment, to costs and public health management.

Published: September 2022

Abstract Introduction: Sarcopenia and obesity are associated with several health conditions. Few studies, however, have analyzed the presence of these conditions in climacteric women with incontinence, and the association between these conditions and the severity of urinary incontinence (UI) is not clear. Objective: To analyze probable sarcopenia, sarcopenia, and obesity in climacteric women with different UI severities, and the association between sarcopenia and UI severity. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in a public maternity hospital in Northeast Brazil, with women aged ≥ 40 years. Sociodemographic issues, urogynecological history, UI severity (Incontinence Severity Index - ISI), grip strength, and anthropometric measures (waist circumference and body mass index - BMI) were evaluated. Means, standard deviations, absolute and relative frequencies, T test, and Fisher exact test were used (significance at 5%). Results: The sample comprised 177 women, with a mean age of 56.3 (± 9.7) years. Regarding UI, 69 (39.0%) women presented mixed UI, and 53.1% presented moderate UI severity. Only 18.1% women had normal BMIs, and 46.8% had general obesity and 80.3% had abdominal obesity. Probable sarcopenia (low strength) was observed in 35 (20%) women, and sarcopenia, in 3.4%. Women with severe/very severe UI presented lower grip strengths (p = 0.02) and higher BMIs (p = 0.04). Sarcopenia was associated with greater UI severity (p = 0.005). Conclusion: Probable sarcopenia and higher BMI were observed in women with greater UI severities, and sarcopenia was associated with greater UI severity. Preventive measures are needed in such conditions to avoid future complications.

Authors: Backes Raquel , Gauer Ana Paula Maihack , Jahnel Édina Luísa , Azzi Viviane Jacintha Bolfe
Published: September 2022

Abstract Introduction: The transition from reproductive to post-reproductive life is part of the female life cycle that impacts well-being, with menopause as a significant milestone. Regular physical activity should be encouraged to mitigate the symptoms of menopause and prevent age-related problems. Hydrotherapy is one such alternative, since immersion in heated water facilitates exercises that would be difficult to perform on land. Objective: Assess women’s perception about the effect of hydrotherapy on the signs and symptoms of postmenopause. Methods: A qualitative study in which participants underwent 48 hydrotherapy sessions and answered a semistructured interview. Results: The participants were eight women, aged 55.75 ± 8.55 years, menopausal for 8.5 ± 7.98 years, with vasomotor symptoms (100%), mood swings (87.5%), sleep disorders (87.5%), vaginal dryness (62.5%), low sex drive (62.5%) and chronic pain (100%). Conclusion: Women’s perception about the effects of hydrotherapy on the signs and symptoms of postmenopause include less pain and muscle tension, a decline in the signs and symptoms, better quality of life and sexual pleasure, and an improvement in biopsychosocial factors such as anxiety and stress through better social interaction.

Authors: Alves Camila Amâncio , Ferreira Denise Cristina Cardoso , Lima Marina Ferreira de , Coimbra Karoline Amaral , Vaz Camila Teixeira
Published: September 2022

Abstract Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) has a considerable negative impact on quality of life, resulting in psychosocial, emotional and health impairment, high costs to the health system and limited activities of daily living. Objective: To describe the proportion of women with UI and its impact on quality of life (QOL), and investigate the factors associated with this condition among users of Primary Health Care Units (PHCUs) in the municipality of Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais state (MG), Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study with female users of the municipal PHCUs. A questionnaire compiled by the researchers was used for data collection. Participants who reported urine leakage in any situation completed the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF). Results: A total of 201 women took part in the study, 36.32% of whom had UI and obtained a score of 7, indicating a moderate impact on their QOL. Urinary incontinence was associated with age, income, body mass index and parity. Conclusion: The proportion of women with UI corroborates the prevalence described by the International Continence Society (ICS), moderately impacting quality of life and indicating normalization of the problem. Urinary incontinence was also correlated with age, income, BMI and number of pregnancies. This demonstrates the need for health education strategies at PHCUs to prevent and treat UI in this group, as well as intersectoral activities to improve the income of the population in order to control modifiable risk factors.

Abstract Introduction: Prenatal care and the procedures adopted during childbirth are essential to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery and prevent complications, without affecting the health of the mother and newborn. Objective: To analyze the prenatal and perinatal care provided in Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais state, Brazil, and to determine whether there is an association between adequate prenatal care and socioeconomic, demographic, behavioral and reproductive factors. Methods: Cross-sectional study with a pre-existing database. The adequacy of prenatal care was analyzed based on three criteria: 1) onset up to the 16th week and a minimum number of checkups according to gestational age; 2) professional practices during prenatal checkups; 3) counseling given to the pregnant women by healthcare professionals. Multivariate logistic regression was used for data analysis. Results: Participants were 437 postpartum women. Prenatal care was considered adequate for 72.5, 93.1 and 50.1% of the participants based on criteria 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The pregnant women who were most likely to receive inadequate prenatal care in relation to criterion 1 were those with the lowest schooling level (OR = 1.68; p = 0.046), who were single (OR = 2.18; p = 0.002), did not work during their pregnancy (OR = 2.18; p = 0.003) and whose pregnancy was unplanned (OR = 1.76; p = 0.023). With respect to perinatal care, the presence of a birth companion and skin-to-skin contact were adequate, but breastfeeding in the first hour of life was not. Conclusion: There is a need to improve the counseling provided by healthcare professionals and include breastfeeding in the first hour of life. The results could contribute to optimizing maternal and child health services in Governador Valadares.

Resumo Introdução: O acompanhamento pré-natal e as condutas adotadas durante o parto são essenciais para garantir o bom desenvolvimento da gestação, prevenir complicações e proporcionar um parto saudável, sem impacto na saúde da puérpera e do recém-nascido. Objetivo: Analisar a assistência pré-natal e perinatal oferecida em Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, e verificar se há associação entre a adequação do pré-natal e os fatores socioeconômicos, demográficos, comportamentais e reprodutivos. Métodos: Estudo transversal com base de dados pré-existente. Para a análise da adequação do pré-natal foram utilizados três critérios: 1) início até 16ª semana e número mínimo de consultas de acordo com a idade gestacional; 2) práticas dos profissionais nas consultas de pré-natal; 3) orientações oferecidas às gestantes pelos profissionais. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizada regressão logística multivariada. Resultados: Participaram do estudo 437 puérperas. A assistência pré-natal foi considerada adequada para 72,5%, 93,1% e 50,1% das puérperas, considerando os critérios 1, 2 e 3, respectivamente. As gestantes que apresentaram maior chance de terem o pré-natal inadequado, com relação ao critério 1, foram as com menor escolaridade (RC = 1,68; p = 0,046), que não possuíam companheiro (RC = 2,18; p = 0,002), que não trabalharam durante a gestação (RC = 2,18; p = 0,003) e as que não planejaram a gravidez (RC = 1,76; p = 0,023). Com relação à assistência perinatal, a presença de acompanhante e contato pele a pele foram apropriados, mas a amamentação na primeira hora de vida foi inadequada. Conclusão: Observou-se a necessidade de aprimorar as orientações fornecidas pelos profissionais e incluir a amamentação na primeira hora de vida. Os resultados podem contribuir para otimizar os serviços de saúde materno-infantil em Governador Valadares.

Published: September 2022

There are a large number of pharmaceutical products in the market containing heterocyclic compounds. Heterocyclic compounds are explored in the field of therapeutics due to their unique physicochemical and pharmacological properties. A large number of heterocyclic compounds existing in the pharmaceutical market have marked anticancer activity and many of them are under research investigations to treat different types of cancers. Anticancer heterocyclic compounds show many shortcomings such as other anticancer agents in bioavailability and site-specific drug delivery resulting in toxicity and decreased patient compliance. These shortcomings can be eliminated by applying the principles of nanotechnology. The present review discloses the biochemical mechanism of action, different biological targets, intrinsic shortcomings, and structure-activity relationships of anticancer heterocyclic compounds. Furthermore, the role of different nanocarrier systems in selective biological targeting and alteration of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of anticancer heterocyclic compounds will be discussed in detail.

The SARS-CoV-2 infection causes COVID-19, which has affected approximately six hundred million people globally as of August 2022. Organs and cells harboring angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) surface receptors are the primary targets of the virus. However, once it enters the body through the respiratory system, the virus can spread hematogenously to infect other body organs. Therefore, COVID-19 affects many organs, causing severe and long-term complications, even after the disease has ended, thus worsening the quality of life. Although it is known that the respiratory system is most affected by the SARS-CoV-2 infection, many organs/systems are affected in the short and long term. Since the COVID-19 disease simultaneously affects many organs, redesigning diagnostic and therapy policies to fit the damaged organs is strongly recommended. Even though the pathophysiology of many problems the infection causes is unknown, the frequency of COVID-19 cases rises with age and the existence of preexisting symptoms. This study aims to update our knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 infection and multi-organ dysfunction interaction based on clinical and theoretical evidence. For this purpose, the study comprehensively elucidates the most recent studies on the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on multiple organs and systems, including respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, immune, and parts of the integumentary system. Understanding the range of atypical COVID-19 symptoms could improve disease surveillance, limit transmission, and avoid additional multi-organ-system problems.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are important phenomena in public administration and many reforms have been introduced in Pakistan to ensure the achievement of SDGs committed by the political leaders. This study targets SGD 11 that relates to sustainable urban development through effective municipal corporations. For this purpose, the study explores the HR practices of public organizations operating under the Lahore Municipal Corporation and explains the institutional complexity of these practices. This complexity arises from the lack of implementation of new HR practices that are at odds with the prevailing bureaucratic logic. The study supports the argument of the institutional logic perspective that multiple institutional logics co-exist in organizations resulting in contrasting and contradictory practices.

Authors: Louise Gibson , Kimberley Norris
Published: September 2022

Aim: To examine the intrapersonal and organizational factors that contribute to pathogenic and salutogenic psychological outcomes in Australian nurses and midwives. Design: The conceptual framework Factors associated with Salutogenic and Pathogenic Outcomes in Australian Midwives and Nurses was used as a guide for this exploratory, cross-sectional study. Method: Participants were recruited from public, private, and community settings throughout Australia. Six hundred and fifteen participants completed an online survey assessing job satisfaction, professional quality of life, ways of coping, resilience, psychological distress, and the impact of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic on psychological health and well-being. Results: Analyses showed that workplace environmental factors were strong predictors of Secondary Traumatic Stress, and Burnout. Results also showed that workplace factors and adaptive coping were predictive of the salutogenic outcomes of compassion satisfaction and resilience. Conclusion: Adopting a salutogenic approach, focused on maximizing individual and organizational contributors to psychological health and wellbeing, provides a new way for organizations to develop strategies to decrease adverse psychological outcomes, promote well-being and better equip nurses and midwives to cope with the challenges of the healthcare environment. Impact: The findings will be of interest to Chief Nurses, Midwifery Officers, healthcare organizations, and universities to target workplace, individual and interpersonal factors that promote health and wellbeing amongst nurses and midwives.
A PROPOSAL ON RHETORIC ANALYSIS OF THE CANOPY THAT DEFINES URBAN SPACE
Authors: KALIN Arzu , AZAKLI Ayşe
Published: September 2022

Aim: The research aims to propose an analysis framework that enables the rhetorical reading of the covers with different functions in urban spaces. Method: In the method of the research, four rhetorical canons from Cicero were transformed into an analysis (reading) framework. In the doctrine of invention, the current change of the canopy is interpreted as an "urban condition" and overlaps with the state of the language. In the arrangement canon, 4 cover classifications were made in accordance with urban situations. The style canon examines the formation of the structure and the referential thought it is based on through metaphor, metonym, hyperbola, parabola. In the memory canon, the characteristics of the chosen style figure, such as the ability to explain the idea of form and fiction, convey its concept, and be evocative and memorable, are examined. Results: Four spatial structures (Metropol Parasol, Fuji Kindergarten, Jay Pritzker Pavilion and Dels Encants District Market) are selected for the canopy classes determined in the study. In the next stage, these selected samples are analyzed according to the rhetorical analysis method created. The findings show that the striking shapes of today's magnificent canopies are based on quite extensive rhetorical figures. Conclusion: Analysis has demonstrated that underlying the complexity of the forms is the technological development and digitalization of construction systems and design thinking that references many main sources such as history, memory, and nature.

Stone Tools Illustrations with Vector Art: The 'STIVA' Method v3
Authors: Niccolo Cerasoni Jacopo
Published: September 2022

Lithic illustrations are often used in scientific publications to efficiently communicate the technological and morphological characteristics of stone tools. They offer invaluable information and insights not only on how stone raw materials were transformed into their final form, but also on the individuals that made them. Here, the “Stone Tools Illustrations with Vector Art” (STIVA) Method is presented, which involves the illustration of lithic artefacts using vectorial graphics software (Adobe® Illustrator®). This protocol follows an optimised step-by-step method, presenting ten major sections that constitute the creation of a lithic illustration: photography, vectorial software configuration, scale, outline, scar borders, ripples, cortex, symbols, composition, and export. This method has been developed to allow researchers, students and educators to create clear and competent illustrations for any application, from scientific publications to public outreach. (The last step contains a supplemental video with extra context and tips, as part of the protocols.io Spotlight series, featuring conversations with protocol authors.)

Análisis bibliométrico sobre el desempeño institucional público en organizaciones estatales
Authors: Rodríguez Granados Joaquín Manuel , Wilches Tinjacá Jaime Andrés
Published: September 2022

El desempeño institucional público es un área de estudio que emergió como una estrategia para recuperar la confianza perdida por parte de la ciudadanía hacia el Estado y sus organizaciones en los años ochenta. A pesar de que en la academia se conoce que hay información sobre este tema, no hay datos precisos sobre su desarrollo investigativo. Por tanto, el presente artículo tuvo como objetivo presentar los resultados de un análisis bibliométrico enfocado en el desempeño institucional público. Se realizó una revisión documental de las publicaciones que tuvieran relación directa con el tema en el periodo 2010-2020. Con el análisis bibliométrico realizado se determinó que la investigación sobre desempeño institucional público es un campo en crecimiento en la academia y existe un interés en estudiar el desempeño y eficiencia de las organizaciones públicas desde diferentes enfoques metodológicos. No obstante, se evidencia que la producción bibliográfica todavía está centralizada en autores y universidades estadounidenses y de Europa Occidental. En esta dirección, se sugiere potenciar los estudios sobre el desempeño institucional público con programas de investigación que, desde otros contextos socioculturales y geopolíticos, reconozcan otras realidades y problemáticas en la gestión pública de organizaciones estatales.

Authors: KILIÇ Koray , YILMAZ Ekrem
Published: September 2022

Sporcu gelişimi alanyazınında yılın son aylarında doğan sporcuların kronolojik yaş gruplarına ayrılma sonucu gelişimsel fırsatlarla eşit oranda buluşamaması bağıl yaş etkisi olarak tanımlanmıştır. Önceki çalışma bulguları, bağıl yaş etkisini genellikle yalnızca sporcu doğum aylarının çeyrekler bazında retrospektif olarak incelenmesine dayanır. Yarışmacı spor ortamlarında bağıl yaş etkisinin varlığının ve bunun nedenlerinin farklı veri kaynaklarından, çok boyutlu incelenmesi, spor programlarının çocuk ve gençlere adil öğrenme ve gelişim fırsatları yaratabilmesi için üretilecek stratejilerin belirlenmesinde oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amaçları, yarışmacı gençlik futbol ortamında bağıl yaş etkisinin var olan durumunu saptamak ve ekolojik bakış açısıyla bağıl yaş etkisinin oluşumunu etkileyen unsurları incelemektir. Çalışmada öncelikle 17 spor kulübünden 12-18 yaş arası yarışmacı futbolcuların (n = 676) aya bağlı (çeyrek) doğum tarihleri incelenmiştir. Nicel verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistik kullanılmıştır. Bağıl yaş etkisinin nedenlerinin ekolojik bakış açısıyla incelenmesinde aynı spor ortamından antrenörler (n=10) ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Görüşmeler, Tematik Analiz yoluyla incelenmiştir. Çalışma bulguları, bağıl yaş etkisinin incelenen spor ortamındaki süreğenliğine ve antrenörlerin bağıl yaş etkisi ile ilgili düşük farkındalık ve bilgiye sahip olduklarına işaret etmektedir. Ayrıca bulgular, incelenen spor ortamındaki sosyal ekolojik etkenlerin bağıl yaş etkisinin oluşumuna ve sürdürülmesine etkileri ile ilgili derinlikli bilgi sunmaktadır. Bulgular, güncel sporda bağıl yaş etkisi ve sporcu gelişimi alanyazınları ile tartışılmış ve sonraki çalışmalar için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
Improving national security legislation as an efficiency multiplier of the corruption offenses prevention in the military command and control bodies
Authors:   National Defence University of Ukraine named after Ivan Cherniakhovskyi, Kyiv, Ukraine, Pryimak V.
Published: September 2022

The purpose of the article is to suggest ways to improve the legislation on national security in order to increase the effectiveness of preventing corruption offenses in the military command and control bodies. The article focuses on the fact that activities to prevent corruption offenses cannot yet be considered fully effective due to the influence of a number of factors of a legal, organizational, theoretical and methodological nature. This requires systematic, comprehensive work aimed at developing a solid theoretical and methodological basis for preventing corruption offenses in military command and control bodies. Features clarified the reflection of the prevention of corruption in national legislation from 2003 to the present. The statement is made that the effectiveness of the functioning of the legal mechanism for ensuring national security depends on an integrated approach to security threats. A high level of corruption offenses in the state can offset achievements in other areas: political, economic, military, public security and law enforcement, etc. Of particular danger is the commission of corruption offenses by military officials, since during the period of armed aggression of the Russian Federation against our state, the significance of the duties assigned to them increases significantly, and their improper performance can affect the level of the state's defense capability. The article determines that the phenomenon of corruption has a very wide range of understanding options, therefore, in our opinion, it would be more correct to investigate the features of corruption offenses (the list of which is closed) or corruption risks. It is concluded that the improvement of the national security legislation as a factor in increasing theeffectiveness of preventing corruption offenses in the military administration requires amendments to the Law of Ukraine "On the National Security of Ukraine".

Charging stations (CHS) for electric vehicles (EV) are considered as sources of local magnetic fields (MF). The MF created by the CHS depends mainly on the actual charging power and topology of the electrical components inside the CHS. MF are in technical practice represented by the effective value of the magnetic flux density BRMS. However, the complex view has to consider the resulting MF vector, its components and the corresponding frequency values of the components at the measurement point and also their corresponding time development. The paper presents measurements of MF near the CHS that were performed with the VEMA-04 series magnetometer and 38 kW power drawn from the CHS. The parameters of the magnetic fields were evaluated in both the time and the frequency domains. The aim of this analysis is to point out that evaluating only simple effective value BRMS of MF is not sufficient.

Paper gathers information on Condition Assessment Programme (CAP), which is implemented by
classification societies to thoroughly assess condition of tankers and bulk carriers by inspection of
engine and hull. It is voluntary programme, mostly participated by tankers and bulk carriers which are
fifteen and more years old and today less present on the market. Special focus will be on ultrasonic
measurement of thickness of ship´s plates which is most significant indicator on condition of older
vessels. After all measuring is done, data is compared with classification society rules and condition
of hull and machinery will be assessed. This kind of inspection provides owners of older ships proof
that despite age their ships are equally capable of conducting sea voyage. The authors analyse the
number of ship arrivals in the port of Rijeka to gain a better insight into their age. Furthermore, the
authors advocate ultrasonic thickness measurement for the purpose of reducing hazards.
Communication in the Management Process - Productive Communication
Authors: Kraljević Slavka , Russo Andrea
Published: September 2022

Communication as a process of information sharing is a key segment of all management functions.
Insufficient or poor-quality information sharing suggests unproductive communication. Globalization
and development of modern, sophisticated technologies allow management to adapt and create
productive work communication. Considering the statements above, in this paper, the emphasis will
be on showing aspects of productive communication considering a maritime organization reflecting
metacommunication as a tool for improving communication skills. This paper will descriptively
explain the process of communication in the organization, the ways and actions a manager must take
as his activities in the function of business success, and how to improve communication to maximize
productivity with the main goal of incorporating metacommunication in an organization. For such, pilot
research was conducted on Graduate students of the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Split, majoring in
Maritime Management (imagining students as employees and professors as managers), which showed
that 75% know the concept of metacommunication, but only 51% use metacommunication with their
colleagues as a part of productive communication.

This study aims to see community empowerment in strengthening MSMEs for pottery craftsmen in Kasongan, Bantul in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because as is known that the COVID-19 pandemic is enough to cause a multidimensional crisis that has a very significant impact on economic movements. So that this economic sector feels a considerable impact from the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with the various policies carried out by the Indonesian government. One of the affected sectors is the MSME sector located in Kasongan, Bantul.  During the COVID-19 pandemic, MSME players, especially the pottery craftsmen MSME group, were also affected where there was a decrease in pottery sales turnover and also a decrease in pottery production. However, the pottery craftsman MSME group was able to survive amid the uncertainty of the covid-19 pandemic. This is certainly influenced by several things, one of which is the efforts of the village government itself in empowering the community in strengthening MSMEs. Therefore, to determine community empowerment in strengthening MSMEs in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers used qualitative research methods with descriptive analysis. So that it can see the social phenomena that occur directly and more deeply. From this study, the results were obtained that if you look at the empowerment of the three phases of empowerment, namely the Initial Phase, the Participatory Phase, and the Emancipatory Phase, then the empowerment of the community in Bangunjiwo for pottery MSME actors can be said to be successful. So that with these 3 phases, it can strengthen Kasongan pottery craftsmen to survive in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic
The regulation of Strategic Environmental Assessment in Brazil
Authors: Oliveira Rosane de Souza , Malvestio Anne Caroline
Published: September 2022

The practice of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) has been expanding worldwide, aiming to include environmental issues within strategic planning. However, there is no precise regulation of SEA application in Brazil, and this practice is not systematic. In this context, this paper aimed to evaluate proposals for regulating SEA in Brazil regarding the elements of a SEA system. Documented proposals were identified through literature reviews, and the identified 14 documents’ content was analysed according to best practice criteria. Gaps were identified in all proposals, and none of the proposals met all the criteria applied in this research. The definition of objectives and SEA field of application was the criteria best reached (present in more than 70% of the documents). However, most of the proposals were limited only to these points, missing other essential elements of a SEA system. These results indicate a low institutional maturity concerning SEA in Brazil.
Contributions of the French Strategic Environmental Assessment to Brazilian planning in water source areas: the Billings Reservoir sub-basin case

Published: September 2022

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is a tool that aims to integrate environmental issues into decision-making processes, usually to support the development of sectoral or territorial plans and programs. SEA is mandatory in the European Union and is applied to water management in France. Water management in Brazil is inspired by the French model, but does not have SEA; in the state of São Paulo watersheds of interest for public supply have specific norms and can count on a Development and Environmental Protection Plan (PDPA). In this research we explore three potential contributions of SEA as adopted in French water management for the case of the PDPA of the Billings Reservoir sub-basin. We conducted an evaluative case study for this PDPA, a literature review on French practices, and comparative analysis. We conclude by indicating potential contributions of SEA for the definition of objectives, scoping, and study of alternatives of the PDPA-Billings.
The experience of the municipalities of Minas Gerais State (Brazil) that implemented local environmental licensing

Published: September 2022

The objective of this study was to explore the experience of the municipalities of the state of Minas Gerais that implemented local environmental licensing. For this purpose, representatives of the state administration were interviewed, and an electronic questionnaire was sent to analysts of 121 municipalities that took up environmental licensing, from which 39 responses were obtained. The key drivers of local environmental licensing were concerns over licensing procedural delays by the state government and the need for administrative efficiency. Knowledge of local conditions and the proximity between the local government, communities and developers were identified as facilitators of licensing. Shortage of staff, precarious hiring processes, and lack of infrastructure were identified as the main barriers to local environmental licensing. The municipalities that have implemented local environmental licensing perceive planning, administrative capacity, competent technical and legal teams, and capacity-building as essential elements of an effective local environmental licensing system. The study concludes with suggestions of future research avenues.
Scaling up and Sustainability:
Authors: Purushothaman Seema , Abraham Rosa
Published: September 2022

Desde a sua gênese como um conceito essencialmente ecológico, a noção de sustentabilidade já percorreu um longo caminho, abrangendo múltiplas dimensões, como a cultural, a social e a econômica. A ênfase moderna na eficiência, no lucro e produtividade constitui uma ameaça às diferentes esferas da sustentabilidade. Este artigo apresenta visões sobre os conflitos entre intensificação e sustentabilidade no setor agrícola, na Índia. Usando uma representação gráfica da sustentabilidade, o trabalho ilustra os conflitos que são criados quando há intensificação de uma dimensão. Esta ferramenta gráfica é usada para ilustrar a consequência da intensificação sobre a sustentabilidade global, no contexto da Índia rural. O texto sugere abordagens alternativas e mais sustentáveis para assegurar os padrões de vida dos pobres no meio rural.
