Authors: D.Kh Asabaev , F.A Badalov , A.A Normurodov
Published: November 2024

General Background: Dolomites in Western Uzbekistan serve as vital mineral raw materials across industries like chemical, construction, glass, and metallurgy, with ferrous metallurgy being the largest consumer due to their application as refractory materials. Specific Background: Historically, magnesite dominated this role; however, its depletion and increasing global costs have shifted attention to dolomites as an alternative. Over 60 dolomite deposits in Uzbekistan, particularly those with high MgO content such as Shushaktau and Muruntau, have been identified, offering favorable mining and geological conditions. Knowledge Gap: Despite their potential, these deposits lack industrial recognition due to insufficient technological validation, limiting their widespread use in refractory production. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the geological, chemical, and technological properties of Uzbekistan's dolomite deposits and explore their industrial feasibility. Results: Results show that these deposits possess high chemical purity, horizontal distribution, and minimal tectonic disturbances, making them suitable for producing refractory bricks, metallurgical powder, and fluxes. Replacing imported magnesite with local dolomites could significantly reduce costs and enhance economic viability. Novelty: However, challenges include the absence of semi-industrial testing and limited mining infrastructure. Implications: Future research should focus on comprehensive industrial testing, advanced processing technologies, and market feasibility studies to realize the potential of dolomites as a cost-effective alternative to magnesite, promoting industrial growth and reducing reliance on imports.

Daylight in a library is an intrinsic factor in teaching and learning spaces as daylight has been proven to stimulate the brain to stay active. However, too much daylight cause stress that affect assimilation.  This study, therefore, examines and assesses the quality and quantity of daylight required for all learning spaces, according to International Energy Agency (IEA) using daylight elements to create variation in influx of lumen; with the purpose of combining manual and electronic study area. This case study is done Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Architecture Department Library using climate-based daylight modelling classification, in which Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI) data are obtained from spaces with side lighting having daylight elements. Visual survey and quasi-experiment is done to test for the validity and reliability of the result, after which two daylight elements were introduced in the experiment and result taken intermediately. It is observed that the daylight performance metric of the Daylight Autonomy (DA) was influenced by the introduction of Daylight elements (DE) base on positioning and size of the windows and distance of the screen wall from the window opening. The combination of Centralised window (1100mm above floor level) and screen wall, 1200mm from the window opening resulted to 38.35% improvement in luminance. When centralised window (1100mm above floor level) was combined with screen wall at 900mm from the window opening, 36.76% improvement in interior luminance was recorded. The study shows that centralised window (1100mm above floor level) in combination with screen wall at 900mm is appropriate for redistributing light and improving luminance level in an interior space with other variable such as building orientation, window size, room reflectance, glazing type being the same. The readings from this research yielded a positive result and therefore were replicated in the design of the proposed faculty of architecture design in the Kaduna state University, Kaduna state.
Participación y políticas públicas. El caso del Banco Popular de la Buena Fe (BPBF)
Authors: Alcalá Javier Alejo
Published: November 2024

En este artículo analizo la propuesta participativa desarrollada por el Banco Popular de la Buena (BPBF), una línea de trabajo en torno al microcrédito, en el Ministerio de Desarrollo Social de la Nación entre 2002 y 2013. El BPBF fue una política pública que explícitamente se propuso como objetivo generar procesos participativos: ¿cómo conceptualizó la participación?, ¿qué prácticas impulsó?, ¿cómo las llevó a cabo?, ¿qué potencialidades y límites tuvo? A través del análisis de esta experiencia busco aportar a la reflexión sobre el vínculo Estado- organizaciones de la sociedad civil en el marco de los procesos de gestión de política pública. Del análisis se desprende que la propuesta participativa del BPBF fue orientada por dos lógicas diferentes. En lo que denominaré el “espacio territorial” las organizaciones tuvieron autonomía para desplegar su proyecto; mientras que el “espacio nacional” fue conducido por el BPBF y las organizaciones estuvieron subordinadas a las decisiones que el programa tomaba. La experiencia del BPBF ofrece aprendizajes relevantes para quienes buscamos pensar los procesos de participación en las políticas públicas.

A Rede Arco-Mix é uma destacada rede varejista pernambucana, com uma trajetória que começou em 1965 com a venda de mercadorias a partir da janela de uma casa. Atualmente, a empresa conta com 15 lojas de varejo Arco-Mix, 3 atacarejos Arco-Vita, 1 atacado Arco-Vita, 1 loja virtual, e uma central administrativa e logística, empregando mais de 2.000 colaboradores. A logística é o cerne das operações da Arco-Mix, essencial para manter a competitividade e a eficiência no atendimento ao cliente, garantindo um fluxo contínuo e eficiente de produtos. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o sistema logístico da Rede Arco-Mix, incluindo a gestão de armazéns, a logística de entrada e saída de mercadorias e a logística reversa. A pesquisa visa identificar os desafios enfrentados e propor soluções para otimizar os processos logísticos, melhorando a eficiência e a satisfação dos clientes. Metodologia: A análise foi realizada com base em dados fornecidos pela empresa, entrevistas com profissionais da área de logística e observações diretas das operações. Foram examinadas as práticas atuais de armazenagem, movimentação, expedição e logística reversa, bem como a integração tecnológica e os desafios enfrentados. Resultados: Os resultados mostram que a Arco-Mix utiliza uma variedade de equipamentos para a movimentação de mercadorias, incluindo paleteiras manuais e elétricas, e empilhadeiras. A tecnologia de informação é integrada, com sistema de gestão de armazém (WMS) e suporte técnico disponível 24 horas. Os processos de recebimento, conferência e expedição de mercadorias são bem estruturados, garantindo eficiência no fluxo de produtos. No entanto, a dependência tecnológica e problemas com o sistema de emissão de notas fiscais (SEFAS) têm impactado a operação. Em relação à logística reversa, o processo é eficiente, com produtos defeituosos identificados, separados e devolvidos adequadamente. A empresa realiza a emissão de crédito ou substituição de produtos e implementa melhorias com base na identificação das causas dos defeitos. Considerações Finais: Em conclusão, a Rede Arco-Mix demonstra uma sólida estrutura logística, com práticas bem definidas para armazenagem, expedição e logística reversa. No entanto, para enfrentar os desafios tecnológicos e otimizar ainda mais seus processos, recomenda-se a implementação de um sistema de backup que permita a emissão manual de notas fiscais e a redução da dependência tecnológica. A continuidade no investimento em tecnologia e treinamento será crucial para manter a competitividade e melhorar a satisfação dos clientes.

Cervical cancer is one of the main public health concerns in low- and middle-income countries, including Brazil, and is often associated with HPV infection, primarily the oncogenic types HPV 16 and 18. This study aims to analyze national data from the last 10 years on the incidence and mortality of this disease, as well as discuss the importance of screening for prevention. The methodology used was retrospective and observational, with data obtained from DATASUS and a literature review in scientific databases such as SciELO, PubMed, and MEDLINE. The results show that, between 2014 and 2023, 281,814 hospitalizations and 25,542 deaths were recorded, with significant variations over the years. Data analysis suggests increasing adherence to screening, but HPV vaccination coverage is still insufficient, compromising the effectiveness of prevention. Mortality was observed to be higher among older women and those from minority ethnic groups. Although efforts are underway to expand vaccination and screening, socioeconomic and cultural barriers continue to hinder access to preventive care and vaccination for these populations. Further studies are needed to better characterize this reality.

This work focuses on analyzing the vulnerability of elderly people when faced with payroll loans, based on experiences during the academic internship of one of the authors. The research is based on the observation that the elderly, as consumers, find themselves in a situation of hypervulnerability, especially in relationships with financial institutions, which often results in over-indebtedness in this age group. The objective is to examine, in light of the Federal Constitution, the Consumer Protection Code and the Statute of the Elderly, the legal issues involved in granting loans granted to this population. The research is exploratory in nature and uses the deductive method, highlighting abusive practices in the provision of credit, particularly for elderly people in situations of greater financial and social fragility.

A preparação para o parto e o período pós-parto, trazem desafios físicos e emocionais para a mulher. Neste contexto, a fisioterapia perineal, se destaca como uma ferramenta eficaz tanto para facilitar o parto vaginal, quanto para tratar condições comuns, como a incontinência urinária pós-parto. Este resumo destaca a relevância da fisioterapia na preparação do assoalho pélvico para o parto vaginal e na reabilitação de disfunções urinárias pós-parto, como a incontinência. A prática fisioterapêutica abrange exercícios de fortalecimento do assoalho pélvico, técnicas de alongamento, respiração e relaxamento. Durante a gestação, esses exercícios preparam a musculatura perineal para o parto, aumentando a elasticidade e diminuindo os riscos de lacerações. No pós-parto, a fisioterapia ajuda na reeducação dos músculos pélvicos, reduzindo os sintomas de incontinência urinária. Estudos demonstram que mulheres que realizam fisioterapia durante a gestação apresentam melhor controle muscular no parto e menor incidência de incontinência urinária após o nascimento. Além disso, a reabilitação pós-parto acelera a recuperação do assoalho pélvico, prevenindo complicações futuras. É uma aliada essencial na preparação do corpo feminino, para o parto vaginal e na incontinência urinária pós-parto. Sua aplicação promove benefícios físicos e emocionais, proporcionando uma experiência positiva na gestação e no pós-parto, além de melhorar a qualidade de vida das mulheres. A pesquisa bibliográfica foi conduzida utilizando as bases de dados Pubmed, Scielo e Google Scholar. O período de publicação dos artigos considerados variou de 2017 a 2023, especialmente nos últimos quatro anos. Dos 50 artigos inicialmente encontrados, 40 foram excluídos por critérios de relevância, qualidade metodológica e duplicidade, resultando em 4 artigos selecionados em português e inglês. A revisão mostrou que a fisioterapia neonatal é essencial para manter as vias aéreas permeáveis, prevenir complicações respiratórias e promover o desenvolvimento motor e sensorial. Estudos destacaram a importância da intervenção precoce e contínua, com técnicas como posicionamento terapêutico, aspiração, estimulação tátil e o método canguru, que contribuem para a estabilidade clínica e o desenvolvimento global dos neonatos.
