Considerando-se a importância da indústria da construção para o país é importante conhecer as práticas de gestão do conhecimento que são atualmente utilizadas e como estas práticas podem ser melhoradas de forma a apoiar a melhoria da produtividade. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a gestão das empresas construtoras de pequeno e médio porte de Curitiba quanto ao nível de aderência às práticas de Gestão do Conhecimento, por meio da realização de um diagnóstico, conforme modelo proposto no Guia Europeu de Boas Práticas de Gestão do Conhecimento. Este guia estabelece 5 atividades do conhecimento, sendo elas: identificação, criação, armazenamento, compartilhamento e uso. A pesquisa é classificada como: quantitativa, aplicada, descritiva, e quanto ao procedimento de pesquisa, como survey. Obtém respostas de 32 empresas e 45 respondentes entre Direção e Colaboradores. São considerados como Colaboradores os profissionais das áreas de Qualidade ou Engenharia. Os resultados demonstram que há compatibilidade das respostas entre a Direção e Colaboradores, sendo estas aderentes ao tema. Comparando-se os resultados deste estudo com outros estudos que utilizaram a metodologia proposta por Bukowitz e Williams (2002), considerando-se apenas o processo tático, percebeu-se uma aderência, em média, 6,7% maior obtida pelas empresas construtoras. Se considerada a média geral, incluindo o processo estratégico, a diferença foi ainda maior, com diferença de 9,3%.

Published: September 2021

Na conjuntura mundial contemporânea da sociedade conectada em rede, a disponibilidade e importância da informação em formato digital em toda a atividade humana foi alçada a patamares mais elevados, sobretudo para o exercício da cidadania. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o cumprimento e adequação das três instituições federais de ensino superior (IFES) no Estado da Paraíba à divulgação de informações mínimas obrigatórias (transparência ativa) determinada pela Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI), e seu decreto regulamentador, à luz dos avanços tecnológicos da sociedade da informação. Partindo da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos da Organização das Nações Unidas, levanta outros instrumentos internacionais que versam sobre o tema e influenciaram a criação das normas brasileiras. Além disso, debate a cidadania digital favorecida pela transparência pública online. Metodologicamente utiliza referencial teórico e análise documental da legislação específica para interpretar os dados obtidos por meio do instrumento de pesquisa elaborado: quadros preenchidos com os pontos de transparência ativa verificáveis nos portais eletrônicos das instituições pesquisadas. Conclui que as três instituições pesquisadas procuram se adequar à legislação pertinente, ainda que a maneira de entrega das informações apresente variações de instituição para instituição.
RESSIGNIFICAR O RETORNO DE EXPERIÊNCIA PARA ROMPER COM O SILÊNCIO ORGANIZACIONAL: O LUGAR DO DEBATE SOBRE O TRABALHO
Authors: Rocha Raoni
Published: September 2021

O presente artigo discute os sistemas de retorno de experiência presentes nas organizações contemporâneas, frequentemente baseados em lógicas punitivistas e culpabilizantes. Para isso, este artigo lança mão de uma pesquisa participativa realizada numa empresa francesa de distribuição de energia elétrica imersa na lógica do silêncio organizacional, na qual os trabalhadores deixam de declarar as situações de risco vividas no campo. Como consequência, os dispositivos de retorno de experiência perdem o seu sentido original, qual seja, um espaço de aprendizagem, passando a ser configurados como ferramentas de punição aos trabalhadores que erram ou infringem regras de segurança. No intuito de construir uma gestão da segurança que ultrapasse os sistemas altamente hierarquizados e afastados do campo operacional, a pesquisa mostra o desenvolvimento de um dispositivo de retorno da experiência baseado no debate sobre o trabalho em diferentes escalões da empresa. Os resultados mostram contribuições sistêmicas para a organização, desde que algumas condições para a implantação do debate sejam respeitadas, concluindo que as práticas reais de trabalho devem ganhar lugar central nos processos gestão das organizações para que a segurança das empresas possa avançar.
TRANSFERÊNCIA DE CONHECIMENTOS DE TRABALHADORES EM FASE DE APOSENTADORIA: UMA PRÁTICA EMPREENDEDORA?
Authors: Canali Fossatti Emanuele , Rebelato Mozzato Anelise
Published: September 2021

O objetivo desta revisão de literatura é debater sobre a relevância em abordar a transferência de conhecimentos de trabalhadores em fase de aposentadoria como uma possível prática empreendedora, a qual pode resultar em satisfação pessoal e desenvolvimento organizacional. O cenário brasileiro atual aponta para o crescente envelhecimento populacional e destaca que a perda de conhecimentos decorrente do processo de aposentadoria pode representar uma ameaça para os grupos de trabalho e para as organizações. Apesar de os estudos internacionais avançarem crescentemente no que diz respeito à relação entre empreendedorismo e conhecimento, o debate nacional ainda é incipiente, especialmente na área das Ciências Sociais Aplicadas. Assim, torna-se pertinente incentivar estudos que abordem a transferência de conhecimentos de trabalhadores em fase de aposentadoria como uma prática empreendedora, uma vez que esta possibilita a constante criação de conhecimento e inovação nas organizações, além de minimizar a perda da memória organizacional.

Published: September 2021

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar como se caracterizam as pesquisas que tratam do conflito trabalho-família relacionadas aos docentes de nível superior em periódicos nacionais e internacionais. A pesquisa classifica-se como descritiva e qualitativa, tendo como procedimento técnico a revisão sistemática, com uma amostra final de 20 artigos sobre o Work-Family Conflict (WFC). A análise se deu através de quatro polos: no polo epistemológico, os resultados demonstram que quanto  aos objetivos, destacam-se os compreensivos (30%) e avaliativos (30%); no polo teórico, foram verificadas as abordagens teóricas de Greenhaus e Beutell (1985)  com 55% e as temáticas que destacaram-se foram a maternidade (30%) e percepção entre gênero (20%); no polo metodológico, predominaram as pesquisas fenomenológicas hermenêuticas (35%) e positivistas (30%); no polo técnico, prevaleceram as pesquisas qualitativas (55%), tendo como estratégias utilizadas o estudo de caso (50%) e como técnica de coleta de dados a entrevista (45%). Destacaram-se nas discussões, as mulheres como as mais vulneráveis sobre o conflito WFC pela tríplice jornada (trabalho-família-estudo), evidenciando a falta de apoio institucional, as pressões das universidades de pesquisa para atender aos rankings, ressaltando-se ainda as lacunas apresentadas nos estudos.

Published: September 2021

O presente artigo objetiva realizar um diagnóstico do uso do Facebook pelo grupo de pesquisa Gabinete de Estudos da Informação e do Imaginário (GEDII), vinculado ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência da Informação da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, de forma a analisar as interações estabelecidas com os seguidores da página. Para fins de registro histórico, objetivou-se, ainda, resgatar as imagens postadas e criar um banco de dados. Como metodologia optou-se pela netnografia, que se apresentou como um método de pesquisa qualitativa que permitiu identificar a intencionalidade dos sujeitos dentro das redes sociais. Como resultados, obteve-se que as postagens do perfil se concentram em quatro tipologias: Encontros Científicos, Convites, Notícias e Encontros Sociais. A análise dos resultados apontou como mais significativa a categoria Encontros Científicos, que compreende as postagens com registros de eventos, aulas, palestras e transmissões ao vivo. É possível inferir, portanto, que a página do GEDII no Facebook constitui-se como um perfil voltado ao registro das atividades do grupo de pesquisa, em sua grande maioria, no que diz respeito ao próprio fazer científico dos pesquisadores membros do grupo. Conclui-se que o perfil tem duas grandes contribuições: registrar as atividades do grupo de pesquisa GEDII a fim de configurar um registro histórico das ações desenvolvidas e atuar como veículo de disseminação de informação científica, tornando pública a produção do grupo. Outro elemento que merece ser destacado são os potenciais não explorados ainda tanto pelo grupo quanto pelo perfil que é o seu avatar no ciberespaço.
Covid-19, big data, smart city e cidade digital estratégica na geração de conhecimentos
Authors: Ferlin Edson Pedro , Rezende Denis Alcides , Almeida Giovana Goretti Feijó de , Flores Carla Cavichiolo
Published: September 2021

As discussões sobre as cidades emergem de diálogos interdisciplinares, proporcionando diferentes conhecimentos na sociedade. Smart city e cidade digital estratégica são projetos em cidades que utilizam os recursos da tecnologia de informação para facilitar o desempenho dos serviços públicos, reduzir custos e potencializar o contato entre cidadãos, governo e a sociedade. O big data pode ser a resposta para que governos consigam manipular grandes conjuntos de dados e informações geradas a partir da digitalização da vida em sociedade por meio da tecnologia. O objetivo é analisar o conhecimento gerado nas bases de dados das aplicações de smart cities utilizadas na gestão das informações decorrentes da pandemia Covid-19 para a gestão de serviços e tomada de decisões dos governos. A metodologia da pesquisa utilizada é o estudo de caso, enfatizando análises quantitativas das bases de dados sobre a Covid-19. Os resultados auferidos destacaram a importância do sistema big data para smart cities, especialmente levando-se em conta o crescimento do volume de informações que estão disponíveis, principalmente, em decorrência da pandemia ocasionada pelo Covid-19. A conclusão reitera que as aplicações de projetos de smart city e cidade digital estratégica podem ser pontuais e a análise de big data ainda não faz parte de projetos de políticas em cidades, aparecendo apenas como uma forma de melhorar os planos já estabelecidos. Entretanto, seu uso adequado pode contribuir nas decisões e ações da sociedade.

Profitability analysis with the fuzzy logic: A hospital example
Authors: Aslan Tunay , Kizil Cevdet , Yilmaz Erdal
Published: September 2021

Implementation of the fuzzy logic is a modern approach for cost-volume-profit analysis and decision-making process under risk and uncertainty (Yuan, 2009). The implementation of the fuzzy logic approach especially makes sense for profit or loss estimations in developing countries, where uncertainties and risks are often observed (Roztocki & Weistroffer, 2005). This study aimed to estimate the profit or loss of indirect Coombs blood test, which is among the 100 blood tests run by the laboratory department of a healthcare organization located in Istanbul, Turkey, that started operations in 2018. Another purpose of the research was to compare the profit or loss estimated by fuzzy logic with the actual values. Research questions of the study were: 1) Can fuzzy logic be used in the health sector’s profitability estimates? 2) What is the estimated success rate of fuzzy logic in the case of uncertainty and complexity? 3) If the fuzzy logic can be used in the health sector’s profit forecasts, how close are the estimated profit sums achieved by the fuzzy logic to the actual profit sums? Based on the findings of the study, profit estimated by the fuzzy logic is in a close range to actual values with a low error rate

Authors: Chávez Peón Mario E. , Filio García Israel
Published: September 2021

El presente trabajo describe y analiza todas las secuencias segmentales posibles dentro de las lenguas mazatecas a nivel de sílaba. El patrón básico es CV, aunque en palabras nativas se permite un inicio complejo de fricativa más plosiva (secuencias consonánticas de segmentos [+continuo][-continuo]). Esta estructura silábica simple se mantiene a pesar de su notable complejidad laríngea, realizada como rasgos secundarios. Este análisis determina en gran medida las posibles estructuras silábicas de estos sistemas. Esta investigación se sustenta en un amplio corpus y documentación lingüística fruto del proyecto Nanginá. Partimos de la propuesta de que la agrupación lingüística mazateca consta de 10 lenguas, o zonas inteligibles, y 20 variantes lingüísticas. Esta propuesta dialectal se ilustra con una gran cantidad de ejemplos a lo largo del trabajo, sus posibles secuencias consonánticas y ejemplos de cada zona.
Hybrid presence: Integrating interprofessional interactions with digital consultations
Authors: Simonsen Line Maria
Published: September 2021

Healthcare practitioners struggle to adapt to the changes that new digital media entail for social interactions, but what does the struggle look like, and how is it embedded in these professionals’ everyday experiences? I investigate these questions in this study of how digitalisation conditions social interactions in the context of the Danish medical setting by drawing on ethnographic work. Moreover, via a video-recorded case study, this article shows how two practitioners organise social actions by exploiting features of a digital communication system in a situation where they manage a practical problem. I propose the concept of hybrid presence related to the scientific fields of dialogism and distributed cognition as an explanation of how the participants are capable of immersing themselves with both the digital technology and the social interaction. Hybrid presence thus proves useful in the discussion of how practitioners may struggle with technology.

The article deals with the specifics of the modern regulatory architecture of the world pharmaceutical market. The characteristics of the national and supranational levels of regulation of the pharmaceutical market have been characterized, and key players at each level have been identified. It is determined that multilevel representation and diversified activities of regulatory institutions at national and supranational levels in recent decades have formed a "framework" of regulatory architecture of the global pharmaceutical market. It is concluded that optimization of the regulatory parameters of the market in terms of the ratio of protectionist and liberalization instruments and levers is of priority importance for each state.
María Magdalena. Origen e iconografía en las artes plásticas y en el cine
Authors:   Universidad de La Laguna (España), Calero Ruiz Clementina
Published: September 2021

Mary Magdalene has always been a controversial issue related to the Passion of the Christ. At the very beginning she seems to be supporting the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth as his first disciple. In addition, she was involved in his crucifixion and burial and, what is more, she was the first witness of his resurrection. Due to this, Jesus entrusted her with the task of giving the good news to his disciples, but nobody trusted her, especially Simon Peter. From the 6th century onwards, her legacy changed and she became a repentant prostitute for the Christianity. This paper tries to analyze how those changes have been represented in the arts and specially in the cinema.

Many people might have varied perspective of pain but majority always views pain as a negative thing in life but on searching and asking about what exactly pain is the results found that pain actually is just an environment which our body mind and brain together creates for us. We create pain in ourselves in order to grow and evolve.
PRICE INCREASES DURING THE PANDEMIA AND EU COMPETITION LAW
Authors: Marchisio Emiliano
Published: September 2021

The debate about the “just price” has ancient origin and returns forcefully to the scene when, in the event of crises of various kinds, there is a rapid and significant increase in prices of given goods or services. In this article it is examined the problem of whether price increases of such a nature could, or should, be considered illicit under EU competition law. The central part of the article reviews different theories on what a “just price” should be and focuses on the idea that a price is “just” when it functions as index of relative scarcity in free markets. It is claimed that such a function deserves protection by EU law. Therefore, price adjustments in response to shocks cannot and should not be considered illegal: it is unacceptable to sanction private firms by attributing them the wrong of not having substituted, at their own expense, for the exercise of a public function (that of making sure that price increases do not put at risk solidarity and other constitutional principles).
BLOCKCHAIN MARKET: REGULATORY CONCERNS ARISING FROM THE ‘DIEM’ EXAMPLE IN THE FIELD OF FREE COMPETITION
Authors: Katopodi Eleni
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this paper is to shed light on competition law issues arising from the extensive use of the blockchain technology. By using the example of the Diem, which has also aroused the interest of the European regulators, the author will try to illustrate the issues that the competent competition authorities will immediately have to deal with. These preliminary questions relate mainly to the re-definition of the concept of an ‘undertaking’ under the new circumstances and the attempt to define the relevant market on the basis of the existing theories. Indeed, legal scientists and economists have succeeded in highlighting the predominant theories for defining the relevant market in the blockchain environment. This study aims to support this vivid theoretical dialogue by suggesting an holistic theory which compromises all those previously expressed elements. In conclusion, this paper intends to investigate whether these new circumstances are endangering the very existence of competition law itself. The latter, in order to continue to fulfil its aim effectively, is probably very close to radical reforms, even in its most fundamental pillars.
Assessment of asthma control and lung function in asthmatic children in Sokoto, North Western Nigeria
Authors: Ishaq Fatima Abubakar , Garba Bilkisu Ilah , Jiya Nma Mohammad , Hamidu Ahmed
Published: September 2021

Objectives:

This study aimed at assessing asthma control using Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) asthma assessment, and determining its relationship with lung function parameters among asthmatic children in Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching hospital, Sokoto.

Materials and Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study among 60 children with asthma diagnosed based on GINA guidelines. It was conducted over a period of 4 months. The GINA asthma control assessment was administered to assess asthma control. Lung function was done using a portable spirometer.

Results:

Males accounted for 58.3% of the study population with M: F of 1.4:1 and median age of 9.47 years, with majority from urban domicile (91.7%). Well-controlled asthma accounted for 50.0% while 35.0% had partly controlled asthma and 15.0% had poorly controlled asthma. The median FEV1/FVC among the study participants was 0.856 (IQR: 0.170). There was no relationship between asthma control and LF parameters (FEV1: r = 0.044, P = 0.736, FVC: r = 0.010, P = 0.941, FEV1/FVC: r = 0.122, P = 0.352, and PEFR: r = 0.015, P = 0.911).

Conclusion:

Majority of the study participants had well-controlled asthma and no relationship was found between asthma control and lung function. Thus, serial monitoring of LF in addition to uniformly agreed standardized assessment of asthma control is required to objectively evaluate asthma control in children.
Results of patch tests (using Indian standard battery of allergens) in cement workers with clinically diagnosed allergic contact dermatitis to cement: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Mansoorali Thacharamban , Sarin Abdulsalam
Published: September 2021

Objectives:

The objective of the study was to identify the allergens showing positive patch test reaction (using Indian standard battery of allergens) in cement workers with clinically diagnosed allergic contact dermatitis (CD) to cement attending a tertiary referral center.

Materials and Methods:

We included cement workers with clinically diagnosed allergic CD to cement who attended the dermatology outpatient clinic of our tertiary referral center from January 2013 to December 2013. We did patch testing in all the cases ( after subsidence of active dermatitis) with Indian standard battery of patch test allergens and documented the allergens that showed a positive reaction.

Results:

Forty-seven (94%) of the 50 study participants showed a positive reaction to one or more of the allergens. The most common allergen that showed a positive reaction was potassium dichromate (43/50, 86%). Twenty-five patients (50%) showed positive reactions to more than 1 allergen. Four patients (8%) showed positive reactions only to allergens that were not seen in cement.

Limitations:

Small sample size and lack of information on clinical response of dermatitis to avoidance of identified allergen were the major limitations.

Conclusion:

Twenty-five (50%) patients showing positive reactions to more than 1 allergen tested and 4 (8%) showing positive patch test reaction to none of the allergens in cement (but to other allergens) highlight the role of patch testing in identifying the probable allergens in patients with clinically diagnosed allergic CD to cement.

INFRASTRUCTURAL CHALLENGES OF THE UNITED TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES OF UKRAINE
Authors:   University of the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine, Skoryk Maryna
Published: September 2021

The article summarizes the main infrastructural challenges that have arisen before united territorial communities, in the course of decentralization reform in Ukraine. In particular, the low quality of local government staff, which reduces the chances of communities for economic efficiency; social infrastructure; transport infrastructure; land resource. In the process of decentralization reform, the concept of infrastructure is concretized in connection with the creation united territorial communities, where the infrastructure includes housing, transport, health care, culture and sports, social protection. After all, if there are "failures" in the infrastructure of the community, it will quickly lead to disruption of the stable functioning of the whole community, respectively, will negatively affect the quality of life and productivity of the community, and modernization will promote economic growth and increase welfare. Also, in the article the author describes the powers and resources that the united territorial communities received today in the conditions of decentralization, and highlights that for the united territorial communities is of primary interest to the state - it's transfers such as basic grants, educational and medical subventions and capital transfers. City budgets began to be filled much more actively. That is, having a leader interested in development, united territorial communities have good financial opportunities for development. Communities cease to be ordinary "cash registers" for the payment of salaries to state employees, they become really interested in economic growth in their territory. It was noted that for development local governments should be involved in various projects (Joint program organization of common nationalities women, U-LEAD, DESPRO, EU / PRON, DOBRE, PROMIS / PLEDOG), in projects proposed by the State Fund for Regional Development. In the current economic environment, it is important that local authorities actively attract state support and, combining them with their own resources, direct to the implementation of regional and local development strategies, implement various infrastructure projects that support innovation, new production, small and medium business.
THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC STABILITY OF THE MIDDLE CLASS
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Chaliuk Yuliia
Published: September 2021

The middle class is the basis of socio-economic stability of the state, acts as a generator of economic, social, cultural and institutional transformations. The consumption model of this class is above the subsistence level, which allows them to invest in production activities, to accumulate physical and human capital. Increasing income leads to increased spending on health and education, leisure and entertainment, leads to an increase in the range of consumer goods. Quantitative and qualitative parameters of the middle-class assessment serve as a platform for characterizing living standards and redistribution of economic growth in the country. The tasks of expanding the middle class, combating poverty, smoothing socio-economic asymmetries and imbalances, and improving the well-being of the population are at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Globally, the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic create obstacles to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The world government should reduce the number of poor by at least half by 2030 (Sustainable Development Goal 1, Target 1.2), expand opportunities and promote social, economic and political inclusion of all segments of the population, regardless of their economic status (Sustainable Development Goal 10, Target 10.2), but the pandemic makes its adjustments. In regions such as South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, instead of reducing poverty, it has risen to 1990 levels. The middle class has suffered the most in South Asia and the Asia-Pacific region. There is no doubt that the Covid-19 pandemic will provoke the deepest socio-economic crisis in 100 years. Representatives of the middle class in India, Brazil, South Africa, Thailand and Ukraine continue to record rising food and real estate prices, their purchasing power is declining, and central banks are forced to tighten monetary policy prematurely. In order for the middle class to stimulate economic growth, increase investment, maintain adequate consumption, use public and private services, national governments and the international community must respond quickly to the crises triggered by Covid-19 and take the necessary measures to eliminate them in order to ensure a decent standard of living above the poverty line.

In diesem Beitrag diskutieren wir die Szenariotechnik als partizipatives Instrument zum Umgang mit komplexen, nichtlinearen Systemen. Exemplarisch berichten wir über ein transdisziplinär angelegtes Projekt zur Transformation der Landwirtschaft. Anhand dessen skizzieren wir folgend den Nutzen der Szenariotechnik als auch die Notwendigkeit eines integrativen und inklusiven Vorgehens, um der Komplexität und der damit verbundenen Unsicherheit zur Modellierung zukünftiger Systeme zu begegnen. Das damit eng verbundene Verständnis von nachhaltiger Entwicklung als Zielformulierung verstehen wir als stetigen Aushandlungsprozess und veränderliches Ziel. In diesem Kontext legen wir das Entwerfen multipler Zukünfte als größten Vorteil der Szenariomethode dar. Ebenso argumentieren wir, dass die Szenariotechnik den Ansprüchen an einen nachhaltigkeitsfokussierten Modellierungsansatz gerecht wird und beleuchten sowohl Potenziale als auch Herausforderungen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf dem Potenzial, mit Hilfe der Szenariotechnik das Wissen unterschiedlicher Akteure aus Wissenschaft und Praxis zu verbinden und zu kommunizieren. Die hier vorgestellte Szeanriotechnik adressiert dabei Systemwissen, Zielwissen und Transformationswissen mit dem Ziel, dieses als partizipativ generierte Erzählung zusammenzuführen.

Die wesentlichen Eigenschaften eines technischen Systems werden bereits in der Konzeptphase durch die Auswahl von Lösungsprinzipien vorbestimmt. Bei der Entwicklung automatisierter Produktionsanlagen stehen dabei die vier Zielgrößen Qualität, Zeit, Kosten und Flexibilität im Fokus. In der Literatur wird angenommen, dass zwischen diesen Anforderungen ein Zielkonflikt besteht, der von den Eigenschaften eines technischen Systems herrührt und die gleichzeitige Optimierung einer Anlage bzgl. aller vier Zielgrößen unmöglich macht. In diesem Beitrag wird deshalb ein methodischer Ansatz zu Diskussion gestellt, der die Untersuchung des Zielkonfliktes im konkreten Anwendungsfall ermöglicht und eine Entscheidungshilfe bei der Auswahl von Lösungskonzepten bieten kann. Ausgangspunkt ist ein dynamisches Systemmodell der Wechselwirkung zwischen Produkt und Produktionsanlage, sowie ein Ansatz zur Konzeptauswahl auf Grundlage der Polyoptimierung. Mit Hilfe parametrischer Modellbildung und Simulation kann die Entwicklungsaufgabe als mehrkriterielles Optimierungsproblem formuliert werden.

Published: September 2021

Die Kreislaufwirtschaft wird von den verschiedensten Seiten als wichtige Strategie für eine nachhaltige Zukunft gefordert und gefördert. Schon seit einiger Zeit setzt sich die Erkenntnis durch, dass eine Bewegung weg von Geschäftsmodellen, die auf Produktverkäufen basieren, hin zum Angebot von Produkt-Dienstleistungssystemen das Implementieren von Kreislaufwirtschaft unterstützen kann. Diese These wurde erneut in der Arbeit der Circular Economy Initiative Deutschland (CEID) diskutiert und in Berichten dieser Initiative dokumentiert. Die Autorin, die auch Mitglied der Circular Economy Initiative war, beleuchtet in diesem Text den Zusammenhang und beschreibt anhand von Ergebnissen aus früheren Forschungs- und Beratungstätigkeiten, wie Produkt-Dienstleistungssysteme (Product-Service Systems, PSS) die Circular Economy unterstützen können und wie diese PSS gestaltet werden können, damit das möglichst nachhaltig, also ökologisch, sozial und ökonomisch vorteilhaft, wirkt. Prozesse, Methoden und Tools für PSS Design und Evaluierung werden vorgestellt und durch Fallbeispiele illustriert.

Published: September 2021

Im Zuge der Globalisierung sehen sich produzierende Unternehmen mit einem kontinuierlich anwachsenden Wettbewerbsdruck konfrontiert. Aufgrund dessen sehen sich viele Marktakteure zu einer intensivierten Spezialisierung gezwungen, um auf kunden-individuelle Anforderungen eingehen zu können. Einen möglichen Lösungsansatz zur Bewältigung dieser Herausforderung bietet der Ansatz der Modularisierung. Hier wird allerdings nicht konkret ein Baukasten definiert, vielmehr werden verschiedene Alternativen generiert. Die Entscheidung, welcher Baukasten schlussendlich implementiert wird, fällt meist aufgrund einiger weniger Einflussfaktoren sowie maßgeblich durch Expertenentscheidungen. An dieser Stelle setzt der vorliegende Beitrag an. Um ein quantifizierbares und ganzheitliches Kriterium zur Unter-stützung der Auswahl modularer Baukastensysteme zu bieten, wird eine multifaktorielle Simulation eingesetzt. Einer der maßgeblichen Aspekte derer ist die beidseitige Inbezugnahme von sowohl Kunden- als auch Unternehmensperspektive. Dies wird v.a. durch die Verwendung eines dynamischen Produktkonfigurationssystems ermöglicht. Um die zugrundeliegenden, teils komplexen Produktarchitekturen datentechnisch konsistent und pflegbar zu halten, wird zusätzlich der Einsatz einer modellbasierten Datenstruktur aufgezeigt. Die Verwendung des Model-Based Systems-Engineering (MBSE) Ansatzes hilf dabei, die vielschichtigen Zusammenhänge des Modulbaukastens in einer konsistenten und maschinenlesbaren Form auszudrücken. Somit kann das Konfigurationssystem produktunabhängig auf die Ontologie der zugrundeliegenden Datenstruktur zugreifen. Für die Baukastensimulation wird dieses Konfigurationssystem rekursiv für mehrere Kundenanfragen und alternative Baukästen eingesetzt, um anschließend mittels eines geometrisch-mathematischen Algorithmus ein multi-dimensionales Entscheidungskriterium hinsichtlich der Baukasten-performance zu generieren.

Published: September 2021

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread all over the globe and emerged as one of the most threatening transmissible disease. The infection can cause an acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with a systemic immune response and inflammation. Up to now, there is no specific drugs available for its treatment. Flavonoids are important natural polyphenolic compounds widely distributed in the plant kingdom. It has been demonstrated the potential role of these metabolites in the modulation of signaling pathways particularly those related to inflammation and immunity. This review focuses on the anti-inflammatory activity of flavonoids and their effectiveness as possible therapeutic options to fight SARS-COV-2 infection.

X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a rare genetic disorder of peroxisomal metabolism and is one of the causes of primary adrenal insufficiency. X-ALD is also associated with various neurological manifestations, however the endocrine features may precede neurological symptoms. As it is rare to have two endocrinological conditions with X-ALD, here we present a unique case of a child with confirmed X-ALD and concurrent Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM).
Message from the Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Education and Science, Vol. 4, No. 2, 2021
Authors: Melnyk Yuriy Borysovych
Published: September 2021

Dear readers and authors, It is a great honor for us to publish the International Journal of Education and Science (IJES) for the fourth year in a row. There were some organizational and technical changes at the beginning of 2021, of which we would like to inform the readers and authors of the IJES. Changes in the IJES co-founders composition. The co-founders composition changed in March 2021: Information Agency PROK, Latvian Republic – Ukraine and Melnyk Yuriy Borysovych, Ukraine were replaced by a new co-founder Kud Aleksandr Aleksandrovich, Ukraine. Re-registration is taking place in the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. Expansion and specification of scientific directions of the IJES. Today’s realities required combination and specification of scientific directions in the field of social and behavioral sciences the IJES is dedicated to. Such scientific directions as Social and Behavioral Sciences: Education, Economics, and Law were specified to ensure further more in-depth professional specialization of the IJES. Thus, the IJES remains a scientific periodical peer-reviewed indexed journal providing a scientific platform for presenting and discussing new trends and problems in the social and behavioral sciences. For the previous three years, the IJES was published only in two languages (English and Ukrainian). In 2021, the Editorial Council decided to publish the IJES in three languages, namely in English, Ukrainian and Russian. Changes in the format of scientific papers in the IJES. Due to the change in the number of languages in which the IJES will be published, as well as new trends, including regarding the references format (APA Style (APA 7th)), the requirements for paper format have been changed. You can read about the changes both in the online version on the IJES website and in the printed version at the end of the last issue.

Published: September 2021

The impact of breast cancer therapy on the quality of life [QL] of Egyptian women was studied. Patients were divided into four groups:1:mastectomy alone;2:surgery plus radiotherapy;3:surgery plus chemotherapy;and 4:triple modality. The results revealed that all the four domains of QL of women having adjuvant therapy [groups 2, 3, or 4] were significantly altered compared to those who underwent mastectomy alone. Triple modality adversely affected global QL the most compared to radiotherapy or chemotherapy;radiotherapy had significantly less effect on QL compared to chemotherapy. Triple modality predicted the worst QL. QL measures should be incorporated with the traditional end points for evaluation of treatment and patients given health education on the effects of each therapy
