Authors:   , Rafaella Ferreira Duarte Ingrid
Published: June 2023

Muito se tem discutido a respeito da violência e em como ela tem afetado significativamente a vida das pessoas. Deste modo, é dever das esferas governamentais buscar maneiras adequadas para diminuir a criminalidade na sociedade. Assim, uma questão de suma importância é a segurança pública, que visa reduzir os altos e crescentes índices de criminalidade existentes em uma determinada localidade através de estratégias distintas, com o auxílio de ferramentas que facilitem a formulação destas estratégias. Neste sentido, este Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso propõe um modelo multicritério de apoio à decisão, que emprega o ELECTRE – TRI para a classificação de municípios quanto à criminalidade, considerando fatores sociais e demográficos e, posteriormente propõe políticas públicas apropriadas para locais com diferentes níveis de propensão à criminalidade. O modelo foi aplicado nos municípios do Estado da Paraíba e constatou-se que boa parte destes possui uma alta propensão à ocorrência de crimes. Em seguida, recomendou-se ações para reduzir tais índices, priorizando as cidades em situação crítica. A partir disto, nota-se como principais vantagens do uso da sistemática: procedimento estruturado para a resolução do problema, priorização de locais com maior propensão à criminalidade quanto à implantação de políticas públicas e análise da situação do Estado quando à ocorrência de crimes.

This study attempted to investigate people’s satisfaction with service quality and re-treatment intention according to the perception of eyebrows, semi-permanent makeup and motives for eyebrow treatment against those in their 20-50s or older, who had semi-permanent makeup or eyebrow treatment before, and the results found the followings: In terms of eyebrow shape, ‘standard’ was the highest with 37.7%, followed by ‘straight (21.7%)’ and ‘angular (18.3%)’. When asked how much satisfied they are with their eyebrow shape, ‘not satisfied (2 points)’ was responded with 2.33 points in average. When asked what bothers them about their eyebrows, ‘loss of eyebrows (18.7%)’ was most responded, followed by ‘unsatisfying shape (18.5%)’. When asked if an eyebrow shape has an influence on their personal image, ‘4.52 points’ was observed in average, being positioned between ‘likely (4 points)’ and ‘very likely (5 points)’. Concerning the effects of the motives to get a semi-permanent makeup or eyebrow treatment on satisfaction with service quality, ‘aesthetic interest’ and ‘pursuit of convenience’ revealed a positive influence with statistical significance. Regarding the effects of satisfaction with such service quality on re-treatment intention, ‘satisfaction with the process’ and ‘satisfaction with the results’ showed a positive influence with statistical significance. In addition, motives to get a semi-permanent makeup or eyebrow treatment, satisfaction with service quality and re-treatment intention were very high with 3.84 points in average. In other words, the above results confirm that motives to get a semi-permanent makeup or eyebrow treatment and satisfaction with service quality have a positive correlation with retreatment intention.
The Burning of Widows: A Historical Analysis of Suttee in Pre-Sultanate Kashmir
Authors: Mushtaq Parry Umar
Published: July 2023

Suttee (or sati) is a Hindu custom of burning of a widow on her husband’s funeral pyre. The origin of the practice has remained obscure and controversial. Even the scriptural sanction of the practice is contested. However, its mention or instantiation in some religious scriptures seems to have assisted in amplification and expansion of the practice. The growth of suttee was very rapid in Kashmir as compared to other parts of India during the period 700-1100 A.D. Kalhana in his chronicle Rajatarangini which is the major source of information for this period in Kashmir has mentioned numerous cases of sati. This paper aims at examining the historicity of suttee in pre-Sultanate Kashmir by putting in use the sources available. Whether the practice was volitional in nature? How much deep-rooted it was in the society? Which sections of the society had either followed or repulsed it? This paper attempts to answer these questions and also sheds light on the social significance of the practice.

Association between the levels of postoperative pyuria and urinary tract infection in patients undergoing Transurethral Anatomical Enucleation of Prostate (TUAEP) in Rajavithi Hospital
Authors: Sa-nguancharoenpong Jirapong , Thaidumrong Tanet
Published: June 2023

Objective: Pyuria is a common condition that can occur after TUAEP. One possible cause is postoperative inflammation. To limit this many physicians prescribe antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent postoperative urinary tract infections, however this can lead to the overuse of antibiotics and increase the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Therefore the object of this study is to evaluate the association between the level of postoperative pyuria and urinary tract infections in patients undergoing TUAEP and to identify other risk factors associated with postoperative urinary tract infection facilitating appropriate antibiotic management. Materials and Methods: Data from 94 patients who underwent TUAEP in Rajavithi Hospital from 1st December 2016 to 31st March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The data collected from medical records included demographic data, details from operative record sheets and laboratory results. Results: A significant association was found between a level of postoperative pyuria >100 WBCs/HPF and postoperative bacteriuria (46.15% vs 19.35%, p = 0.024). Diabetes mellitus and preoperative bacteriuria were also significant risk factors for postoperative bacteriuria. The bacterium which was the most frequently cultured from samples taken both preoperatively and postoperatively was Escherichia coli. Conclusion: The risk factors for postoperative bacteriuria in patients undergoing TUAEP are a level of postoperative pyuria > 100/HPF, diabetes mellitus and preoperative bacteriuria. It may be concluded from the results that the most frequent cause of postoperative pyuria was more likely to be due to a tissue reaction after surgery than from a urinary tract infection. Selective antibiotic treatment in patients who have these risk factors can reduce problems of antibiotic overuse and anti- biotic resistance.

Published: June 2023

Objective: Penile prosthesis (PP) is the third-line therapy for erectile dysfunction in patients who do not respond to pharmacotherapy or who prefer a permanent solution to their problem. Even though the satisfaction rate is high, implantation is irreversible, and complications such as infection can lead to catastrophic outcomes. The objective of this study is to provide a 5-year (2018-2022) overview of patients who underwent penile prosthesis implantation, including techniques using both an inflatable penile prosthesis and semirigid prosthesis. Materials and Methods: Aspects of the study include pre-surgical counseling, patient and device selection, operative technique, and special considerations in relation to implantation in complex cases, such as those involving corporal fibrosis, Peyronie’s disease, or revision procedures. Results: This 5-year overview demonstrates that the techniques remain effective and safe (0% infection rate) with a high satisfaction rate (84%) when compared to several prior studies. Better understanding and advancement in surgical techniques provide good outcomes; thus, implantation of a penile prosthesis is a good option for treatment of erectile dysfunction. Conclusion: This 5-year review of PP implantation carried out in 35 patients by a single surgeon shows a very low complication rate after surgery with a high level of patient satisfaction. To maximize the potential for a good outcome, prior to surgery the physical status of patients should be evaluated and counseling is essential. In patients identified as being at a high risk, the implantation team should be prepared for complications using evidence-based data.

Authors: T. Talla  , A. Dang  , S. Bagul  , S. Jain  , R. Bhartivc
Published: June 2023

In recent years, there has been a growing trend of consumers becoming more environmentally conscious. This trend has been driven by a number of factors, including an increased awareness of the impact of human activity on the environment and a desire to live a more sustainable lifestyle. As a result of this trend, many businesses have begun to adopt green marketing practices in an effort to appeal to eco-conscious consumers. The purpose of this study is to examine the green marketing practices in the retail industry, specifically looking at the pros and cons of such practices. The study found that there are both advantages and disadvantages to green marketing in the retail industry. Some of the advantages include increased customer awareness of environmental issues, potential for increased sales and brand loyalty, and a way to differentiate oneself from competitors. However, the study also found that there are some disadvantages to green marketing in the retail industry, including the potential for 'greenwashing' or appearing to be more environmentally friendly than one actually is, as well as the possibility of alienating customers who do not share the same values. Overall, it appears that there are both benefits and risks associated with green marketing in the retail industry, and businesses must carefully consider these before adopting such practices.
Prediction of Spray Vapor Tip Penetration of Diesel, Biodiesel and Synthetic Fuels Using Artificial Neural Networks with Confidence Intervals
Authors: Emekwuru Nwabueze , Richards Bryn
Published: June 2023

Fuel spray and atomization processes affect the combustion and emissions characteristics of fuels in internal combustion engines. Biodiesel and synthetic fuels such as oxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OME) show great promise as alternative fuels and are complementary in terms of reproducing the fluid properties of conventional diesel fuels through blending, for instance.

Averaged experimental results, empirical correlations and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have typically been used to evaluate and predict fuel spray liquid and vapor penetration values so as to better design internal combustion engines. Lately, Machine Learning (ML) is being applied to these investigations. Typically, ML spray studies use averaged experimental data and then over-trained neural networks on the limited available data. By contrast, in this study we present spray vapor tip penetration predictions using artificial neural networks with systematic treatment of uncertainties arising from experimental variability and limitations in the neural network training process. This has not been presented previously, and it allows the calculation of confidence intervals on the spray penetration predictions produced by neural networks.

Using the present method, we evaluate four different diesel, biodiesel and OME fuel blends under four fuel injection conditions each and predict spray vapor tip penetration values with a correlation coefficient of 0.999. Across all fuel variants and injection conditions, one standard deviation represented less than 1.5 mm spray tip penetration (circa 2% of spray tip penetration) 1 ms from the start of injection. Despite this precision, a 95% confidence interval on neural network predictions encompassed the experimental fuel penetration data across all fuel variants, injection conditions and time steps. By calculating the confidence intervals on neural network predictions, we enable internal combustion engine designers to better quantify the applicability of neural networks in predicting spray characteristics.
OPTIMIZATION MODEL OF TRANSPORTATION OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE OF URBAN AGGLOMERATION
Authors:   Institute for Regional Economic Studies Russian Academy of Sciences, Andreev Valentin A.
Published: June 2023

An optimization model of transportation of municipal solid waste (MSW) of the urban agglomeration carried out by the WMS processing and disposal complex is proposed. Optimization is carried out by minimizing the costs of transportation of MSW. The solution of the problem of minimizing costs is carried out in two stages. At the first stage, optimal routes are built along which garbage trucks can transport MSW with minimal costs of a given type (fuel costs, financial costs, etc.). At the second stage, the optimal options for the distribution of garbage truck flights between the optimal routes built at the first stage are determined. Software has been developed for using the model in solving practical problems. In addition, a database has been developed to work with the initial data and the results of solving optimization problems. The results of experimental calculations and their analysis are presented. The model is focused on the urban agglomeration of St. Petersburg.

Ұзынкүнгей петроглифіндегі бақсылық сюжеті
Authors: Амаргазиева Әсел , Елесбай Нұржұма
Published: June 2023

Мақалада Ұзынкүнгей (Кетпен жотасының солтүстік беткейі) петроглифіндегі сюжеті аса күрделі, «Бақсының өрлеуі» деген атқа ие болған композиция қарастырылып, алғаш рет ғылыми айналымға енгізіледі. Зерттеудің негізгі мақсаты жартас бетінен анықталған басты сюжет – бақсы бейнесіне ұқсас антропоморфты суретке талдау жасау. Жұмыста Қазақстанның және Орталық Азия петроглифтерінде кездесетін зооантропоморфты бейнелер семантикасы бойынша зерттеулер сарапталды. Салыстырмалы стилистикалық сипаттамасы жасалды, ескерткіштің салыстырмалы мерзімі анықталды. Зерттеу барысында тастағы суреттер басты кейіпкер шаманның ғұрыптық рәсімді өткізу процесін көрсететінін дәлелдейтін археологиялық және этнографиялық материалдар, ғылыми дәлелдер мен мысалдар пайдаланылды. Композицияның күрделілігі онда жоғарғы, орта және төменгі әлем картинасын тұтас мазмұндайтын жануарлар (бұғы, арқар, қасқыр) мен антропоморфты бейнелердің (біреуі зооантропоморфты, екеуі антропоморфты) болуы. Басты кейіпкер қолында заттары бар, өзіндік ерекше бас киімі және құйрығы бар, ұзын құйрықты қасқыр үстінде бейнеленген. Қызықтысы (көңіл аударуға тұрарлығы) композицияның келесі екі элементі болып табылады. Бұл екі антропоморфты сұлбадан әрқайсысы қолында қандай да бір зат ұстаған, аяқтарын аздап тізесінен бүгіп тұрған адамның өрге ұмтылып, секіру қимылын байқауға болады, жаңа деңгейге ұмтылуы болуы да мүмкін. Осы үш фигура композицияның ойын ашуға, негізгі кейіпкердің бейнесін және оның іс-қимылын, оның қалыптасу процесін түсінуге көмектеседі. Композициядағы петроглифтердің бір уақытта бәдізделгені даусыз, оны палимпсестің болмауы және кейінгі кезеңдерде жаңартылмағыны дәлелдейді. Сондай-ақ, тас бетінің патинасы мен барлық петроглифердің күңгірттенуі біркелкі және қола дәуірінің мәнеріне жақын.

Many GIScientists are affiliated with institutions beyond what we would call core GIScience. This implies that we teach in degree programs that follow their own curricular logic, and presents us with challenges in terms of what to teach, how to possibly attract students to GIScience careers, and in terms of our own self-images and identities. After briefly taking stock of some of the bigger curricular initiatives from the past 30 years, and informed by a brief discussion of key arguments and findings regarding teaching GIScience 'elsewhere', this commentary aims to stimulate discussion on the multifaceted and multidisciplinary nexus in which many of us are embedded. The commentary includes short reflections on the implications of the multidisciplinary contexts mentioned for the creation of a GIScience identity among students enrolled in other degrees, recruitment of PhD students and faculty, and what all this possibly means for how we see ourselves as GIScientists.

Introduction and objective

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common, severe complication of burn disease, developing in the first days after a massive thermal injury and worsening the prognosis of patients. Early diagnosis of AKI plays a crucial role in improving health of patients and therapeutic results. Detection of AKI based on the standard parameters of renal function is insufficient due to too late changes in their values. The aim of the study is to evaluate the relationship between the selected non-renal biochemical parameters and the risk of AKI in this group of patients.

Material and methods

The prospective study involved a group of 33 adult patients (22 men, 11 women) hospitalized after massive burns. The patients were intensively monitored for the first 7 days after the injury, daily assessing the parameters of renal function. The selected parameters were also measured: platelet count (PLT), sodium (Na), potassium (K), albumin (ALB), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), creatine kinase (CK), arterial blood pH, arterial blood bicarbonate (HCO3-), 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (24hUNa) and fractional excretion of sodium (FENa).

Results

AKI was diagnosed in 15 (45.5%) patients. Statistical differences in the obtained average values of selected parameters between the AKI and non-AKI groups were confirmed. A significant univariate relationship was found between CK, AST and ALB in the blood serum and an increased risk of developing AKI in the following days. However, after adjustment for The Abbreviated Burn Severity Index score, only CK remained significant.

Conclusions

The potential clinical benefit of monitoring AST and ALB in blood serum and especially CK was confirmed. The other routine parameters did not seem to be related to the risk of AKI and require further analysis.

Wprowadzenie i cel

Kardiomiopatia rozstrzeniowa (DCM) to pierwotna choroba mięśnia serca będąca jedną z trzech głównych przyczyn niewydolności serca. Jest również najczęstszą przyczyną kwalifikacji do transplantacji. Kryteria rozpoznania dysfunkcji lewej komory w DCM są dość ściśle określone, ale brakuje jednoznacznych wytycznych dotyczących dysfunkcji prawej komory serca. Celem pracy było porównanie obrazu echokardiograficznego chorych z DCM, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem funkcji prawej i lewej komory serca, w zależności od funkcji prawej komory ocenionej metodą rezonansu magnetycznego (CMR).

Materiał i metody

Do badania włączono 29 pacjentów z DCM hospitalizowanych w Klinice Kardiologii i Chorób Wewnętrznych WIM w latach 2018-2021, u których wykluczono inne przyczyny niewydolności serca, tj: zaawansowana choroba wieńcowa, istotne wady serca, zatorowość płucna, istotna patologia płuc. Jako wskaźnik referencyjny funkcji prawej komory przyjęto frakcję wyrzutową prawej komory (RVEF) ocenianą w CMR. Za pomocą echokardiografii określono między
innymi: wymiar końcowo-rozkurczowy prawej komory (RVEDd), globalne odkształcenie podłużne prawej komory (RVGLS), zmianę pola powierzchni prawej komory (RVFAC), globalne odkształcenie podłużne lewej komory (LVGLS) oraz frakcję wyrzutową lewej komory (LVEF).

Wyniki

Dysfunkcję prawej komory określoną jako RVEF < 45% w CMR stwierdzono u ponad 50% badanych. Wykazano istotne statystycznie korelacje miedzy obniżoną RVEF ocenioną w CMR a RVEDd (p=0,006), RVGLS (p=0,007), RVFAC (p=0,005) oraz różnice międzygrupowe w zależności od RVEF w zakresie LVGLS (p=0,034) i LVEF (p=0,056).

Wnioski

Obniżona frakcja wyrzutowa prawej komory w ocenie rezonansu magnetycznego wykazuje związek z gorszą funkcją skurczową prawej komory i jej rozstrzenią w ocenie echokardiograficznej. Dysfunkcja prawej komory wiąże się również z upośledzoną funkcją skurczową lewej komory wyrażoną jako gorsze odkształcenie podłużne i niższa frakcja wyrzutowa.
Wicked problems and the design thinking method as a tool to solve these problems. The case Alien Project
Authors: Proczek Magdalena , Garbarczyk Marta
Published: July 2023

Today's global challenges are characterized by increasing complexity. This makes it possible to call these challenges so-called wicked problems, which are difficult to define clearly, have no single solution and require the involvement of multiple stakeholders for its purpose. Such complication can include a group of contemporary migration and refugee problems, which include dilemma of adaptation and integration of immigrants, or social conflicts between locals and newcomers, etc. The Design Thinking (DT) method, which is recipient- and user-oriented solution, can be used to try to solve these issues. Importantly, the beneficiaries themselves can also be involved. The purpose of this study is to present the essence of wicked problems, as well as the DT method as a tool for solving contemporary problems, including migration and refugees. The study fills the research gap on presenting a proposal for a tool in the form of the Design Thinking method for solving contemporary wicked problems, including in the setting of migrants and refugees, using the results of the ALIEN project as an example. A synthetic review of the literature on wicked problems was also conducted. The study used a qualitative method in the form of logical inference, as well as a review of the literature on the subject, studies, and reports. By addressing this issue, the authors intended to expand the existing body of global analysis in this area. As demonstrated in this paper, the DT method has been successfully used to solve wicked problems among migrants and refugees in Norway as well as Ethiopia, Senegal, USA, Colombia, Australia, France, Germany, Greece, Jordan and Iraq. International research teams, including the ALIEN project team, are seeking effective solutions to wicked problems accompanying migration and refugee processes. This empirical study discusses the application of this method to solving wicked problems surrounding migrants and refugees, especially their solution proposals developed within the ERASMUS+ ALIEN Strategic Partnerships project. The authors believe that they could be successfully used today on a large scale.

Authors: Buzev Anatol
Published: July 2023

The refugee crisis in Ukraine generated by the intensity of military actions has highlighted the vulnerabilities faced by state institutions, affected by the large number of foreigners who have sought refuge on the territory of the Republic of Moldova. Both the Member States of the European Union and the Republic of Moldova have seen the security gaps that persist and must be removed. Change is a difficult and time-consuming process, and in the event of a massive influx of foreigners, it requires prompt and effective interventions. Actions in the management of the crisis situation put the authorities of the Republic of Moldova to the test. Thus, taking into account the effects of the refugee crisis in Ukraine, this paper consists in assessing national efforts in the context of the most efficient management of refugee flows seeking protection in the Republic of Moldova. This article aims to highlight the problem of the refugee crisis in Ukraine, the crisis conditioned by the Russo-Ukrainian war. The article also highlights the main issues regarding the granting by the Republic of Moldova of humanitarian aid to refugees from Ukraine, as well as respect for the rights of refugees in the Republic of Moldova.

Labor migration and the phenomenon of transnational families from the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Vaculovschi Dorin
Published: July 2023

Labor migration processes from the Republic of Moldova have become an important factor in combating poverty and increasing the well-being of the population of the Republic of Moldova. Moreover, the economic growth registered by the Republic of Moldova during the last years is precisely due to the remittances of migrant workers. However, the migratory phenomenon in the Republic of Moldova also generates certain risks, such as human trafficking, accelerated demographic aging and the expansion of the number of transnational families, which also generates the problem of children left without parental care. As such, the phenomenon of transnational families is a global phenomenon, and various countries, through their policies, try to mitigate its negative effects.The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of labor migration on the expansion of the phenomenon of transnational families in the Republic of Moldova, as well as the situation of children left without care as a result of labor migration. The article comes with a series of conclusions and recommendations regarding the minimization of the negative effects of labor migration, as well as the development of social services necessary to prevent the phenomenon of children left without parental care as a result of labor migration.
