Methods for the detection of microplastics in mammals
Authors: You Haoyang
Published: December 2023

The mass manufacture and extensive usage of plastics have brought about the spread of microplastics throughout the whole environment and even into the bodies of humans and animals. The toxic effects of microplastics cannot be ignored and their accumulation in the body is potentially dangerous. Therefore, scientists have used different methods to observe the morphology of microplastics in the mammal body and to detect and evaluate the levels of microplastics in the body. As a result, the toxicological consequences of plastic particles on the body are well understood. This review summarized some common methods of detecting microplastics in mammals, especially humans, by reviewing the research on microplastics conducted by different research groups in recent years. and evaluated the characteristics, detection goals, and advantages and disadvantages of each method. This establishes a more comprehensive overview of current microplastic detection technologies and can create a theoretical basis for future analysis of microplastic dynamics.
Lavender essential oil research and application process in China
Authors: Liu Zhishan
Published: December 2023

Lavender, a perennial subshrub classified under the genus Lavandula and the family Labiatae, is native to the southern areas of Europe and the Mediterranean. It has also been brought to China, albeit with less research conducted on the subject. China is home to two primary cultivated species of lavender, which are primarily found in regions such as Xinjiang, Shaanxi, and Jiangsu. Among these regions, Xinjiang is the predominant cultivator, with a focus on the narrow-leaved lavender variety. The full understanding of the sensible and efficient utilisation of lavender essential oil is necessary due to its significant therapeutic and decorative significance. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of lavender essential oil, encompassing an analysis of its active components and recommended application guidelines based on a thorough assessment of relevant literature. Additionally, it compares and evaluates various extraction processes currently employed in the industry. Furthermore, the research delves into the safety considerations associated with lavender essential oil and explores appropriate practises for its consumption to ensure user well-being.
How exercise treatments can improve symptoms experienced by Alzheimers disease patients
Authors: Sun Haohan
Published: December 2023

One of the most prevalent diseases in the world is Alzheimer's disease (AD). There are numerous therapies and remedies available today that promise a full recovery from AD. However, none of the available therapies can entirely reverse AD. Cognitive function, self-care skills, and daily functioning abilities all typically decline in AD patients. Even their sleep and mental health are problematic for some AD patients. One of the treatments for AD is aerobic exercise therapy. By allowing the patients to engage in aerobic activities, it can decrease the disease's progression. According to several research, aerobic exercise can enhance the cognitive function, capacity for self-care, and mental health of AD patients. There aren't many systematic reviews on exercise therapy and AD, though. As a result, the purpose of this work is to provide a concise explanation of the mechanisms underlying AD and its therapies based on recently published papers, and to draw conclusions regarding the safety and efficacy of exercise therapy.
Research on the rabies and rabies vaccines
Authors: Wu Xinyao
Published: December 2023

Rabies is a highly lethal disease with a long history that most of the patients were infected by dog bites. Therefore, the scientific popularization and research of rabies are particularly important. This article mainly analyzes rabies from three aspects: the rabies virus, the rabies vaccines and treatment methods. Firstly, the infection mode and characteristics of the rabies virus and some clinical features after human infection with the rabies virus were analyzed, so as to facilitate people's understanding of the infection route and reduce the infection rate. The introduction of clinical features also made it easier for doctors or relatives of patients to determine whether patients were infected with rabies. Enable patients to get effective treatment quickly. The rabies vaccine is the main measure to prevent rabies. This part lists the history of human rabies vaccines and introduces some successful human rabies vaccines. Finally, the current treatment status of rabies is introduced, the methods that may play an important role in the treatment of rabies in the future are proposed, and the possibility of rabies being cured is confirmed. However, due to the complex mechanism of rabies itself, it is still necessary to continue to study rabies in order to completely defeat this disease.
The effect of mild to severe illness on COVID-19 based on improved SIR modeling
Authors: Li Moning
Published: December 2023

COVID-19, as a worldwide epidemic, has led to a wide range of infected individuals with negative implications for the economy, travel, and governance. Previous studies have modeled the transmission mechanism of COVID-19 based on the SIR model and its variants, where populations are categorized as susceptible, infected, and recovered. However, in clinical settings, infected individuals are further subdivided into mildly infected and severely infected individuals, and these severely infected individuals often carry viruses that are more infectious and pathogenic. To tackle the above issues, we propose a novel SI-2. We theoretically derive the disease-free equilibrium of the proposed dynamical system, as well as the basic reproduction number. The impact of the infection rate, recovery rate and mortality rate of mildly and severely infected patients on controlling the spread of the epidemic is further discussed based on the derived basic reproduction number. These results have clinical and guiding implications for the early protection and control of severely infected patients.
DIVERSIDADE DE VOZES
Authors: Leite Pinheiro Flávio Maria , Dal Ri Junior Arno
Published: December 2023

O objetivo deste estudo é compreender quais aspectos da condição humana são importantes para garantir a dignidade humana. Tais considerações são norteadas teoricamente pelas obras da filósofa contemporânea Hannah Arendt. Falar-se-á da dignidade humana de um ponto de vista negativo, daí a sua ausência. Analisar-se-á a usurpação dos direitos humanos por parte da população expulsa como condição de pertencimento à comunidade política. Assim, a partir da contemplação da falta de valor, analisar-se-ão elementos característicos para garantir a dignidade dos homens e mulheres que compõem a comunidade humana, a saber: a singularização, ou individualização, que se consegue pela discussão na humanidade.
ASPECTOS CONSTITUCIONAIS DA RESOLUÇÃO Nº. 27 DO CONSELHO NACIONAL DO MINISTÉRIO PÚBLICO
Authors: Távora Colares Francisco Antônio
Published: December 2023

Utilizando-se do método da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, tem o presente trabalho por objetivo pôr em evidência os problemas, de índole constitucional, concernente a vedação do exercício da advocacia por parte de servidores do Ministério Público, através de ato regulamentar do Conselho Nacional do Ministério Público (CNMP). Analisa acerca da posição constitucional do CNMP entre os organismos estatais, bem como sobre sua competência para editar atos normativos. Discorre acerca do direito fundamental ao exercício livre do trabalho e profissões, sujeito somente a restrições impostas por lei em sentido formal e material – princípio da reserva de lei. Constata que a extensão de tal vedação – originalmente imposta, por lei, aos servidores do Ministério Público da União - aos trabalhadores dos Ministérios Públicos estaduais, colide com a autonomia dos entes federados no que concerne a fixação do regime jurídico de seus servidores, com patente violação ao pacto federativo. Trata acerca da isonomia material entre os trabalhadores dos ramos do Ministério Público brasileiro, abordando questões remuneratórias e de regime jurídico. Conclui pela inconstitucionalidade de Resolução do CNMP dispondo acerca do tema.

“FUNÇÃO DE GOVERNO” ENTRE COSTANTINO MORTATI E FRANCISCO CAMPOS
Authors: Dal Ri Jr Arno , Paola Canteli Thayrine
Published: December 2023

As doutrinas constitucionalistas brasileiras de matriz autoritária típicas do período do Estado Novo (1937-1945) e daquele imediatamente anterior apresentam pressupostos teóricos bastante próximos daqueles elaborados pelas doutrinas italianas do período do regime fascista (1922-1943), em particular no que concerne às noções de “Constituição material” e de “função de governo”. Buscava-se, então, através da utilização dessas noções na doutrina brasileira, legitimar as propostas de reformas das instituições do Estado Novo, em particular fortalecendo o Poder Executivo em detrimento ao Poder Legislativo. Nesta perspectiva, o objetivo desse artigo é analisar através de quais delineamentos as noções utilizadas em matéria nas abordagens de Francisco Campos (1891-1968) se aproximaram daquelas fornecidas pelo jurista italiano Costantino Mortati (1891-1985), em um contexto em que inexiste um diálogo explícito ou mesmo citações entre os dois autores, e que, ambos, encontram-se em laboratórios da ciência constitucional da primeira metade do século XX então considerados muitos distintos entre si, o italiano em um lugar “central”, aquele brasileiro em um lugar “periférico”.
Twenty First Century Popular Music Studies
Authors: Till Rupert
Published: December 2023

This paper introduces the IASPM Journal special edition entitled Twenty-First Century Popular Music Studies (PMS), in which a number of papers respond to Philip Tagg’s paper “Caught on the Back Foot: Epistemic Inertia and Visible Music” (2011). Respondents discuss a lack of ethnographic methodology in three prominent journals, Popular Music, Popular Music and Society and Journal of Popular Music Studies; the success of PMS in Australasia and the role of ethnomusicology there; the potential of ecomusicology for PMS; the proliferation of PMS courses in new universities in the UK; gender and sexuality within PMS; differences between the concepts of invisible and of ubiquitous music; and the need for addressing corporeality within PMS. The common threads of these discussions are brought out, and a number of key issues emerge. Interdisciplinarity is emphasized and the interactions of classical and popular music, ethnomusicology as well as recording and production are examined. It is suggested that PMS might consider tactical alignments with other relevant bodies in order to overcome epistemic inertia, including ethnomusicology organisations, the Association for the Study of the Art of Record Production, and academics and practitioners involved in teaching and making popular music.

Appunti per una teoria unificata dell'ausiliarizzazione
Authors: Egerland Verner
Published: December 2023

This article aims at discussing the premises for a unified account of auxiliarisation, here understood as aspecific subcase of grammaticalisation. The passage of Latin HABEO from a lexical verb to a tense-formingauxiliary is certainly one of the most well-studied innovations of Romance languages. Equally familiar are thecases of auxiliarisation of Latin TENEO, Germanic *habhen and *getan, as well as Scandinavian derivativesof Old Norse fà. Such processes follow a similar path, in the sense that they originally select a secondarypredication in the passive voice, which over time is reanalysed as active. At the same time, the governing verbis void of lexical content and turns into an auxiliary, while the implicit agent of the secondary predicate isreinterpreted as the surface subject of the construction. If a unified theory is to be attempted, such an approachshould capture why such a path of change is consistently observed and, moreover, why it seems to be a definingproperty of such auxiliarisation that the verbs involved originally describe possession, reception, or control.Furthermore, ideally the unified theory should account for why the semantic output of these processes variesover time: the earliest cases of auxiliarisation are precisely those involving HABEO/habhen, which give riseto the compound tenses in modern languages. Subsequent cases, however, such as the auxiliarisation ofTENEO/getan etc. do not lead to the formation of compound tenses, but rather to what could be defined ascompound aspects or, sometimes, compound causative constructions. This circumstance, too, requires aprincipled account.

Direct brow lift surgical technique and new eyebrow aesthetic optimization model
Authors: Fernandes Nathália Kassis
Published: December 2023

The fascination with beauty attracts optimizations of surgical techniques. The eyelid-eyebrow region forms the emotional and expressive center of the human face.
Aging causes a decrease in skin elasticity, allowing soft tissues to sag with gravity [1,2].
In this sense, surgical eyebrow lifts to improve aesthetics of the upper third of the aging face have been performed for several years. Current brow lift methods include direct brow lift, mid-forehead lift, coronal brow lift, and endoscopic brow lift [3-5].
Therefore, this technical article presents an optimization of the treatment of eyebrow tail ptosis using the modified direct brow lift technique by direct eyebrow elevation.
Stable Autochthonous Polylexical Units with Extralinguistic Motivation in the Motivational Phraseological Dictionary
Authors: Savin-Zgardan Angela
Published: December 2023

The problem of the motivation of the linguistic sign is more and more in sight of European linguistics, in the direction of even creating a new discipline, motivational linguistics. In the Motivational Phraseological Dictionary, Chisinau, 2023, whose author is the undersigned, it is proposed to conceive the genesis of stable polylexical units by indicating the type of motivation - the extralinguistic one, as well as by the aspect of their origin, they being indigenous and general. Indigenous polylexical units refer to the realities of the surrounding world: what describe daily life; what concerns professions and trades; with reference to man's exterior world; related to fauna; having military lexis; related to natural phenomena; taboo expressions. In the given communication, we will focus on some components of the given polylexical units that express some indigenous Romanian symbols and motifs, they being part of the language culture of our people. The motivation behind the origin of some stable polylexical units (SPU) is explained by the fact that they appeared on their own land, being indigenous, having their origin in the Romanian language, even if they have counterparts in other languages. When they appeared, SPU were initially denominative language units, motivated, when they named certain concrete facts from the surrounding world, or connotative units, motivated, in the case that the speaker expresses his/her attitude towards a certain fact in life. With the time, along with the evolution of language and society, some motivated SPU have remained motivated, their components or one of them keeping the meaning. The explanation lies in the fact that only these language units can name certain lexical and grammatical values, contribute to the elimination of equivocation, etc.
The Significations of the Game in Vierean's Poetry for Children
Authors: Serdesniuc Cristian
Published: December 2023

Vieru's creation for children was searching continuously for the break of the Soviet canon. Propelled by a bouncing lyricism and by the sap of mythical folk headsprings, Grigore Vieru's poem brings back the literature of the 1960's to its aboriginal origins. The universe of the Vierean childhood rejects the artificial game, the partisan template, the glorious themes of the USSR, reconfiguring a new aesthetic picture of the child and childhood. Seen like a little demiurge, the Vierean child, an antipode of the child -hero, explores the mysteries of the rural adventure. Suggested from a series of correlated worlds, such as: the sunny world, the dendritic one, the celestial world, the plant world and others -, the ludic space depicts angelically the almighty mother's figure. Vieru's literature for (and about) children promotes, from the debut (1957) the general human values, guiding the infantile reader to the reveal of the great human aims. Accessible and close to the reader's needs, Vieru's literature for children became easily folkloric. Through the intermediate of the child, G.Vieru managed to reverse the models of the character from the whole space of Bessarabian literature, identifying it with an axiological landmark for all ages.The speechless games, the vocal games and rhymes, the ritual games with the sun rays and with the wheat influenced the importance of fraternal communion between the man and nature. Hidden after the mirrors of the games, Vieru’s child looks for a therapeutic remedy in order to heal the inner states caused by the war, the human loss and starvation. Vieru offers to his character the freedom to think and feel autonomous, without imposing his theses. The little reader is fascinated by the hero he discovers, appropriates and by the ludic adventure. The reader feels very good in this amazing space.
Elements of the Functioning of the Universal vs. Relative Concept Antinomy in Translation
Authors: Zbant Ludmila
Published: December 2023

Recent research in the field of translation studies frequently frames issues related to the choice of translation strategies determined by several factors of an objective and subjective nature. Among the subjective factors of particular importance is the cognitive one, i.e., cultural, encyclopedic, and linguistic personality of the translator, since it is the translator who ensures the quality of intercultural communication and the degree of pragmatic, semantic and communicative transfer of the message from the original into the translation. At the heart of the researched topic is an attempt to examine, in a concrete pragmatic context, an antinomy that influences the choice of the translation strategy. This is the binomial constituted by the concepts of universal vs. relative and how they motivate the choice of the translation algorithm, especially of a literary text. The theoretical framework of the problem addressed is represented by the views Professor Eugeniu Coșeriu has about language, and about particular languages in a re-evaluation adapted to the translation process. A special value in this process is given to the primary universals of creativity, semanticity, otherness as well as to the secondary universals - historicity and materiality which are seen in the light of literary translation of languages belonging to different language families - Romance, Germanic, Slavic. In conclusion, we try to argue that there is no need, but it is rather beneficial to avoid categorical separation of conceptual and translation approaches, either from the perspective of universalism or relativism. The choice of translation strategy is always flexible, it is adapted to the concrete translation situation, to the national culture and to the rules and norms of functionality of concrete languages.
Taxonomy of the Concept of the Imaginary through the prism of Interculturality
Authors: Iovu Mihaela
Published: December 2023

In anthropological, psychological, cultural studies, etc., the imaginary is considered to be a part of the human psyche that refers to the images, symbols and mental representations existing in the human brain due to knowledge of the world. It is about images, thoughts, dreams, fantasies and other forms of abstract mental representation. It is for this reason that the imaginary is widely used in literary creation, especially in the poetic works of authors around the world. The present study focuses on the analysis and synthesis of some definitions of the concept of imaginary, from the perspective of linguists, literary critics, translators, but also from sources such as dictionaries, in order to outline as clearly as possible, the essence of the given concept. We resort to a series of classifications of image types, starting from the interdisciplinary dimension of the given concept. For example, from the point of view of perception, we can talk about visual images, auditory images, tactile images, olfactory images, etc. This and other image classification possibilities proposed by various specialists will be presented in the next study. We set out to identify in this investigation the tangents that emerge between interculturality and perception, understanding and use of the concept of the imaginary, in order to increase the popularity of this idea and to make us aware of the fact that the imaginary is a component of the literature we read but also more importantly, it is a special side of our creative thinking.

Published: December 2023

We undertook a search for new nearby dwarf galaxies outside the known groups in the Local Volume using the data on DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys. In a wide sky area of ~5000 square degrees directed toward the Local Void, we found only 12 candidates to nearby low mass galaxies. Almost all of them are classified as irregular or transition type dwarfs. Additionally, we examined areas of the sky exposed with the Hyper Suprime Camera of the Subaru telescope (~700 square degrees) and found nine more candidates to nearby dwarfs. Finally, nine candidates to the Local Volume were selected by us from the Zaritsky's SMUDG catalog that contains 7070 ultra-diffuse objects automatically detected in the whole area of the DESI surveys. We estimated a fraction of quiescent dSph galaxies in the general cosmic field to be less than 10 percent.
Используя данные обзора DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys, мы предприняли поиск новых близких карликовых галактик вне известных групп в Местном Объеме. В обширной области неба площадью примерно 5000 квадратных градусов, направленной к Местному Войду, мы нашли только 12 кандидатов в близкие галактики низкой массы. Все они классифицированы как иррегу лярные либо карлики переходного типа. Дополнительно мы обследовали площади неба, снятые телескопом Субару с камерой Hyper Suprime Camera (около 700 кв. град.) и обнаружили еще девять кандидатов в близкие карлики. Наконец, 9 кандидатов в Местный Объем были отобраны нами из каталога Зарицкого (SMUDG), который содержит 7070 ультра-диффузных объектов, найденных автоматически на всей площади обзора DESI. Мы оцениваем долю "спокойных" dSph галактик в общем космическом поле не более 10 процентов.

Published: December 2023

Rasayana chikitsa is said to be one amongst Astanga Ayurveda and is considered to be a boon to mankind. Rasayana drugs are useful for the maintenance of the age, improvement of intelligence and strength and also said to be beneficial for the elimination of diseases. Due to urbanization and heavy pollution prevailing in the environment, human beings succumb to different diseases which can only be handled through rasayana. Rasayana becomes a part and parcel of daily regimen and also a modality of treatment in chronic lingering diseases which tend to recur repeatedly. It is a well known fact that rasayana also can enhance immunity of an individual so that the person can be free from any variety of diseases. As there are innumerable rasayana dravya explained in the classics, Bhargava prokta rasayana is selected and undertaken for the present study amongst those populations who are exposed to environmental health hazards such as fly ash from thermal power plants. The present study which was carried out is a double blind placebo controlled clinical study conducted amongst 60 apparently healthy volunteers. Those included for the study were randomly divided into 30 each for the test as well as placebo group respectively. Before administration of the rasayana treatment, koshta shuddhi was performed for a single day in both groups which was followed by administration of Bhargava prokta rasayana/Placebo medicine 48 gms per day for 48 days in empty stomach during morning hours. The total duration of the study conducted was 49 days. The outcome of the study revealed that TNF alpha which is one of the cell signaling protein involved in systemic inflammation was significantly reduced thereby proving Bhargava prokta rasayana group in improving health status of all those individuals residing near thermal power plant exposed to fly ash.

Authors: Eski Erkan , Yilmaz smail
Published: December 2023

Aim: Assessing the effectiveness of single level parotidectomy in the primary treatment of parotid pleomorphic adenomas.
Material and Methods: The cases that underwent parotidectomy after 2016 due to parotid pleomorphic adenomas confined to the superficial lobe were retrospectively reviewed. Only category 1(upto 3 cm and limited superficial lobe) tumors were included in the study. Tumor size and location, surgical time and procedure, follow-up period and recurrence results were recorded and compared.
Results: A total of 43 category 1 parotid pleomorphic adenomas, 22 cases that underwent single level parotidectomy (Group 1) and 21cases that underwent superficial parotidectomy (Group 2), were included in the study. The mean follow-up period was 92(58-104) months in group 1 and 90 (56-100) months in group 2. The mean tumor size was 22.86 mm in group 1 and 24.46 mm in group 2. No recurrence was observed in either of the groups during the follow-up period. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of tumor size, follow-up time andrecurrence. The mean surgical time was significantly lower in group 1(p<0.05).
Conclusion:Single Level Parotidectomy is an effective in the treatment of category 1 parotid pleomorphic adenomas and is a minimal parotidectomy method that can be performed for complete removal of the tumor without recurrence.

Published: December 2023

Dans la région du Turonien type, « depuis Saumur jusqu’à Montrichard », c’est-à-dire dans les coteaux bordant la Loire et le Cher, le Turonien inférieur et une grande partie du Turonien moyen (Tm 1-2-3) ont été bien définis antérieurement par la récolte de nombreuses ammonites. Toutefois le sommet du Turonien moyen (Tm 4) et la base du Turonien supérieur n’ont pas ou peu fourni d’espèces caractéristiques. Quant à la plus grande partie du Turonien supérieur, celle-ci n’est pas représentée en raison d’une importante lacune de sédimentation. La récolte de deux ammonites index dans le Tuffeau Jaune de Touraine apporte des éléments nouveaux. Premièrement, la présence d’un Romaniceras mexicanum à la base du « falun de Continvoir » à Pont-Boutard près de Langeais (Indre-et-Loire) – équivalent sableux du Tuffeau Jaune de Touraine – date la base de la formation du Turonien moyen élevé (Tm 4). Deuxièmement, la découverte d’un Subprionocyclus bravaisianus dans le hardground Langeais près d’Azay-le-Rideau, également en Indre-et-Loire, confirme l’âge Turonien supérieur non terminal du sommet du Tuffeau Jaune de Touraine.

La craie glauconieuse de Lezennes et ses « Tuns » dans le forage de la Cité Scientifique de Villeneuve d’Ascq (Nord) : interprétation d’une succession ultra condensée à la limite Turonien-Coniacien
Authors: Amédro Francis , Graveleau Fabien , Hofmann Annette , Trentesaux Alain , Tribovillard Nicolas
Published: December 2023

Un nouveau forage réalisé sur le Campus de la Cité Scientifique de Villeneuve d’Ascq (Nord) a traversé 3,10 m de craie glauconieuse incluant plusieurs niveaux noduleux indurés ou hardgrounds. Cette unité lithologique, nommée ici Craie glauconieuse de Lezennes, est située aux confins de la limite Turonien-Coniacien. Une dizaine de niveaux repères à caractère lithologique (niveaux marneux et hardgrounds) identifiés dans l’intervalle étudié présentent une grande extension géographique à l’échelle régionale et constituent pour cette raison d’excellents outils de corrélation. La comparaison de plusieurs coupes échelonnées sur une distance d’une centaine de kilomètres depuis le Boulonnais au nord-ouest jusqu’à l’agglomération lilloise au sud-est, en passant par l’Artois, révèle le caractère ultra condensé de la Craie glauconieuse de Lezennes. Une analyse minéralogique complète l’étude. Enfin, au sein du forage, les variations de la surface piézométrique de la nappe de la craie du Turonien supérieur-Coniacien inférieur sont suivies et discutées en tenant compte de la sécheresse exceptionnelle qui a caractérisé l’année 2022.

La flore autunienne de Gipcy (Permien inférieur du bassin de Bourbon-l'Archambault) est pour la première fois décrite et figurée. Cette flore bien conservée comprend essentiellement des stromatolithes silicifiés, des tiges perminéralisées de Calamites Suckow identifiées comme Arthropitys Goeppert, des racines de Psaronius Cotta, et des morceaux de bois pycnoxyliques silicifiés Agathoxylon Hartig. Parmi les Agathoxylon, des tiges à structure conservée ont été rapprochées des Cordaites et des Conifères.Des valves d'ostracodes ont aussi été observées au voisinage des laminations stromatolithiques.La flore de Gipcy est comparée avec les flores autuniennes d'autres localités du bassin de Bourbon-l'Archambault provenant du même niveau stratigraphique, principalement : les stromatolithes silicifiés de Souvigny et de Meillers, et la flore supérieure des quartzites de Meillers.

É sabido que existe grande preocupação em preservar, ajudar e conservar a flora e a fauna do nosso país, por isso, este artigo tem como enfoque analisar a importância da contabilidade ambiental, mostrando as normas que devem ser seguidas e como a empresa de estudo vem trabalhando para estar de acordo com essas leis. De acordo com os dados, a empresa Sicredi utiliza duas políticas sustentáveis: a Política de Sustentabilidade e a Política de Gerenciamento de Risco Socioambiental. Ele está presente em aproximadamente 1,5 mil municípios do Brasil, gerando impacto positivo aos associados e comunidades por meio de soluções financeiras e não financeiras. Em linha com os princípios do cooperativismo, estratégia e gestão sustentável ampliam a geração de valor. Em seu referencial teórico estão as principais ideias de sustentabilidade dentro da contabilidade ambiental, tendo direcionamento com a empresa em estudo, na metodologia, a forma que foi feito o estudo, nas considerações finais um resumo do que foi analisado e verificado e nas referências os autores utilizados nesta pesquisa. Assim, esta pesquisa surgiu da necessidade de entender um pouco mais como que funciona a contabilidade ambiental, que é um tema ainda pouco difundido, com isso veio a ideia de analisar como a empresa Sicredi vem se comportando sobre esse tema. Durante a realização deste trabalho tivemos dificuldade em encontrar trabalhos que tratassem desse tema, mas pudemos identificar o quanto esse tema é essencial atualmente, com todos as mudanças advindas do desmatamento e da falta de leis rígidas que façam com que as empresas estejam empenhadas em auxiliar o meio ambiente.
Вирівнювання горизонтальних фіскальних дисбалансів в Україні
Authors: Ярошевич Н. Б. , Якимів А. І.
Published: December 2023

Стаття присвячена проблемам і ризикам системи вирівнювання горизонтальних фіскальних дисбалансів в Україні. Проведено розрахунок індексу податкоспроможності та реверсної дотації п’яти міських територіальних громад-«донорів» (Харківської, Одеської, Дніпровської, Львівської, Запорізької) на 2022 рік з врахуванням офіційно зареєстрованої чисельності населення, в результаті чого виявлено по окремих громадах істотне (до 3,5 разів) відхилення розрахункових сум реверсної дотації від фактичних сум дотації затверджених у бюджетах міських територіальних громад. Також обчислено індекси податкоспроможності та розрахункову чисельність населення, при якій співпадають суми розрахункової і фактичної дотації. Встановлено, що розрахункова чисельність населення для обчислення реверсної дотації досліджуваних окремих міських територіальних громад є значно (на 28% –  35%) більшою від офіційно зареєстрованої чисельності жителів, що не може бути наслідком ні неврахування кількості внутрішньопереміщених осіб, ні процесів об’єднання при утворення міських територіальних громад. Також встановлено, що розрахунок індексу податкоспроможності, в основі якого закладено неактуальні дані про чисельність населення адміністративно-територіальних одиниць не є об’єктивним, створює ризик «ручного» бюджетного регулювання горизонтального вирівнювання та політично упередженого розподілу міжбюджетних трансфертів. Вдосконалення системи горизонтального вирівнювання фіскальних дисбалансів в Україні запропоновано шляхом перегляду предмету розрахунку індексу податкоспроможності, тобто врахування надходження інших, окрім податку на доходи фізичних осіб, власних доходів загального фонду місцевих податків у вигляді податків та зборів, та залучення бюджету міста Києва до системи горизонтального вирівнювання. Проведено розрахунок індексів податкоспроможності та реверсної дотації п’яти досліджуваних міських територіальних громад-«донорів» з врахуванням залучення бюджету м. Києва у систему горизонтального вирівнювання у двох варіантах, якщо до бюджету м. Києва зараховують податок на доходи фізичних осіб у розмірі: (1) 40%; (2) 60%. Доведено, що включення бюджету м. Києва у систему горизонтального вирівнювання значно зменшить навантаження на громади-«донори» та забезпечить реалізацію принципів єдності і справедливості бюджетної системи України.

Fuzzy Trapezoidal DEMATEL Method for Criteria Weights in Supplier Selection: A Case Study of Ice Cream Producer
Authors: ÇEVİK AKA Damla
Published: December 2023

Supplier selection is one of the most critical processes in a food industry. The requirement for manufacturers to work with different suppliers for many materials often requires them to plan their supply systems separately. Supplier selection in the food industry is one of the multi-criteria decision-making problems that food businesses need to evaluate many criteria, both qualitatively and quantitatively. This study was prepared due to the difficulties experienced by an ice cream producer company regarding the supply of auxiliary materials. The aim of the study is to prioritize the criteria that affect the supplier selection decision for the auxiliary materials of an ice cream producer company. It is expected that the findings of the study will contribute to manufacturers with similar procurement processes by presenting a procedure that they can refer to in the supplier selection decision. In practice, seven criteria to guide supplier selection were evaluated by three experts with the Fuzzy-Trapezoidal DEMATEL method. As a result of the study, while quality is the criterion with the highest weight, compliance with prosedures and good supplier profile criteria are determined as other important criteria.
