Enhancing thermal comfort in buildings innovations in sustainable cooling and heating systems utilizing geothermal energy
Authors: Kaid Noureddine , Bayram Mustafa , Osra Adnan , Almutery Bader , Hassan Ahmed , Menni Younes
Published: September 2023

This research paper explores the potential of passive heating and cooling
strategies in buildings utilizing geothermal resources. The focus is on
renewable energy solutions, including geothermal energy, solar systems, and
Earth-to-air heat exchangers, with the aim of reducing energy consumption
for cooling and heating loads. The investigation primarily centers on the
performance and optimization of the Trombe wall system, a well-known
passive solar system. Numerical studies are conducted to analyze the thermal
and fluid-dynamical behavior of the Trombe wall system. The findings provide
valuable insights into its operational characteristics and efficiency,
aiding in the refinement of design approaches and optimization of system
performance. The analysis of temperature distributions within the building
and underlying soil reveals the stability of soil temperatures throughout
the day, indicating its potential as a reliable heat sink and source for
heating and cooling. The dynamic variations in room temperatures, influenced
by solar flux fluctuations, convection processes, and the functioning of the
air-to-earth heat exchanger, highlight the importance of effective system
design and control for achieving optimal thermal performance.
Blockchain-Based Triple-Entry Accounting: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda
Authors: Thies Simon , Kureljusic Marko , Karger Erik , Krämer Thilo
Published: September 2023

Recent cases, such as Wirecard, Luckin Coffee, and Steinhoff, highlight the vulnerability of current accounting practices and question their suitability to prevent criminal behavior. Triple-entry accounting (TEA) is a possible answer against accounting fraud and financial manipulation that is increasingly discussed in research and practice. By being based on blockchain technology, TEA is tamper-proof and, thus, might be an effective instrument against manipulation in accounting. However, despite the potential of TEA, research on this topic is scattered and mostly isolated from each other. By conducting a systematic literature review, we synthesize and summarize current research on blockchain-based TEA. Hereby, we find that current research is almost entirely theoretical. Up to now, real-world implementations and their evaluation are still missing in both research and practice. To address these gaps, we develop guiding research questions for interested scholars to pave the way for TEA’s practical use.

The Efficiency of Interactive Voice Response Systems and Tax Compliance: A Field Experiment by the California Franchise Tax Board
Authors: Hurwitz Helen , McGowan John R.
Published: September 2023

To shed light on the influence of interpersonal fairness on tax compliance, the California Franchise Tax Board conducted a field experiment to examine how efficiency of Interactive Voice Response (hereafter, IVR) systems affects tax collection. We find that taxpayers calling the temporary phone line with greater IVR system efficiency (treatment group) pay a significantly larger percentage of their tax deficiencies than the control group during the study period, and this difference is driven by IVR system efficiency. We also find that improving IVR system efficiency increases the likelihood of making payments within the treatment group. Our results support embracing interpersonal fairness principles to encourage tax payments. Our research extends the literature on the service paradigm of tax compliance by providing U.S.-based evidence and has implications for the tax authorities seeking to improve tax compliance efficiency, as tax collection generally becomes more difficult and costly with time.

Signing Blank Checks: The Roles of Disclosure and Reputation in the Face of Limited Information
Authors: Pawliczek Andrea , Skinner A. Nicole , Zechman Sarah L. C.
Published: September 2023

We examine how disclosure and manager reputation influence capital raised when there is no commercial substance underlying the investment. Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs or “blank check” companies) do not have operations or substantive assets at the IPO but promise to use the funds raised to acquire a private firm, generally within two years. Given the lack of commercial substance and historically poor ex post performance, it is unclear what SPACs disclose at the IPO and why investors invest. Although disclosure is important in traditional IPOs, the underlying information available differs for SPACs. Nonetheless, our evidence suggests disclosures are useful to SPAC investors, although differently than for traditional IPO investors. We also examine manager reputation and find prior SPAC or CEO experience and celebrity status are associated with funds raised. Even when an investment lacks commercial substance, disclosure and reputation are important for investing decisions.

Published: September 2023

OBJECTIVE

Insulin remains the only glucose-lowering treatment modality recommended for totally pancreatectomized patients. We investigated the effects of the sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor empagliflozin on fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations in pancreatectomized patients and matched healthy control participants.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, 10 pancreatectomized patients and 10 matched control participants underwent two 3-h liquid mixed meal tests preceded by two doses of 25 mg empagliflozin (administered the night before and in the morning of the meal test) or placebo, respectively. Basal insulin was administered as usual, but bolus insulin was omitted before the meal test during experimental days.

RESULTS

Compared with placebo, empagliflozin lowered fasting plasma glucose (5.0 ± 0.4 vs. 7.9 ± 0.9 mmol/L [mean ± SEM], P = 0.007) and postprandial plasma glucose excursions as assessed by baseline-subtracted area under the curve (1,080 [733; 1,231] vs. 1,169 [1,036; 1,417] pmol/L × min [median (25th and 75th percentiles)], P = 0.014) in the pancreatectomized patients. In the control participants, empagliflozin lowered fasting plasma glucose compared with placebo (5.1 ± 0.1 vs. 5.5 ± 0.1 mmol/L, P = 0.008) without affecting postprandial glucose excursions significantly. The pancreatomy group exhibited greater postprandial glucagon excursions compared with the control group on both experimental days (P ≤ 0.015); no within-group differences between days were observed.

CONCLUSIONS

Empagliflozin administered the day before and immediately before a standardized liquid mixed meal test normalized fasting hyperglycemia and improved postprandial glucose tolerance in pancreatectomized patients.

Efficacy of Rauwolfia Vomitoria Root Extracts as Anaesthetic Agents in African Catfish (Clarias Gariepinus)
Authors: Andrew Akinrotimi Ojo
Published: September 2023

The efficacy of Rauwolfia Vomitoria root extracts as Anaesthetic agent in juveniles and adult sizes of Clarias Gariepinus were investigated. The time of induction (time taken for the fish to get anaesthetized) and recovery (time taken for the fish to recover from the effects of the anesthetics) for various concentrations were recorded in seconds using a stop watch. The concentrations used for the anesthesia bioassay were: 0.00-control, 50.00, 100.00, 150.00, and 200mg/l. The results obtained indicated that the induction time in both sizes were found to decrease significantly (P < 0.05) as the concentrations of the R. Vomitoria root extracts increased, with the shortest induction time 145.00±3.00(s) observed in juveniles at the concentration of 200mg/L and the longest 266.66±12.12(s) in adult at the concentration of 50mg/L of the extracts. However, the recovery time increased significantly with increasing concentration of the R. Vomitoria root extracts, with the highest recovery time of 732.33±11.50 (s) observed in Adult size, at 200.00mg/L concentration and the lowest 434.33±28.29(s) in Juveniles at 50.00mg/L concentration of the extracts, with the optimum dosage of 50.00mg/L and 100.0mg/L for juvenile and Adult sizes respectively. Interestingly, the survival of the exposed fish during the trial was 100% in both sizes, as no mortality was recorded in all concentrations of the plant extracts. The findings of this trial, indicated that R. Vomitoria root extracts, was efficient with zero mortalities and therefore can be recommended as an effective Anaesthetic for use in aquaculture.
About Unprovoked Shark Attacks at Pernambuco’s Inshore Waters
Authors: Santana Cesar Augusto Da Silva
Published: September 2023

Unprovoked shark attacks have suddenly started at Pernambuco’s inshore waters from 1990s onwards. Some studies have pointed out different hypotheses to explain the reasons for this anomaly in the coast of Pernambuco. However, inconsistencies concerning some of these hypotheses indicate the need of further investigations to clarify which environmental and anthropic factors are driving such abnormal incidents with sharks in the south coast of Pernambuco.
Healthy Condition of Anchoveta (Engraulis Ringens) in 2021 in the Northern Region of the Humboldt Current System
Authors: Castillo Pedro Ramiro
Published: September 2023

The present study was to observe the healthy condition of the anchoveta population at the level of distribution, size structure, acoustic descriptors of the schools, and estimation of biomass by three acoustic stratification techniques investigated in the two research surveys carried out by the Instituto del Mar del Perú in 2021. The three techniques were: i) 10x30 mn isoparalittoral areas with size mode data (Biom 1), ii) transects proposed by Jolly & Hampton (Biom 2), and iii) in 10x30 mn isoparalittoral areas with modal size data (Biom 3). The results showed that in the 2102-07 survey, the anchoveta had a mainly concentrated spatial distribution with high abundances; while, on the 2109-11 survey, it was generally scattered by its longitudinal displacement towards areas far from the coast. At the vertical level it was found mainly in the surface layer of the 50 m, with greater depths between 14° and 16°S, which reached up to 99 m in survey 2109-11 due to good oxygenation at those depths. The structure of the sizes observed in both surveys was congruent, with latitudinal segregation between adult and juvenile specimens, and with the presence of juvenile cohorts. In the 2102-07 survey, higher values of the energy descriptors were obtained (NASC, average Sv and asymmetry), mainly of the adult specimens; while, in the 2109-11 survey, schools with greater morphometric dimensions were obtained (height, perimeter, volume, area and rectangularity) due to the wide distribution away from the coast. The biomasses estimated by the hydroacoustic methodology were similar in 2102-07 and 2109-11 surveys, determined at 12.03 and 8.03 million tons, respectively, being healthy and reflected in catches in the two fishing seasons of 2021. The three biomass estimation techniques were almost similar to those obtained in both surveys.
Ecological Implications of Dam and Barrage Construction in the Indian Himalayan Region: A Comprehensive Assessment
Authors: Kumar Rakesh
Published: September 2023

Dams and barrages are vital infrastructure for human needs such as hydroelectric power generation, irrigation, and water storage, but their construction has significant negative impacts on the biodiversity and riverine ecosystem of aquatic species. The Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) is known for its unique ecological and environmental significance. However, the construction of dams and barrages in this region has raised concerns regarding their ecological consequences. This paper aims to assess the ecological impacts of dam and barrage construction in the IHR. The construction of dams and barrages in the IHR has resulted in significant alterations to the natural flow patterns of rivers, leading to changes in hydrology, sediment transport, and water availability. These alterations have had profound effects on the aquatic ecosystems, affecting fish populations, riverine habitats, and biodiversity. Furthermore, the fragmentation of rivers caused by dam construction has disrupted migratory patterns of several species, thereby impacting their breeding and survival. This paper provides an overview of the ecological consequences of dam and barrage construction in the Indian Himalayan Region, highlighting the need for sustainable and environmentally sensitive approaches to infrastructure development in this ecologically fragile region. By considering the ecological implications and adopting appropriate mitigation measures, it is possible to strike a balance between meeting the energy and water demands of the region while safeguarding its unique and diverse ecosystems.

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) Levels in Clarias gariepinus Dried with Traditional and Modern Smoking Kiln
Authors: OA Akinrotimi
Published: September 2023

The study compared the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content of Clarias gariepinus dried by traditional and modern smoking methods at the teaching and research farm of the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture Management, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, Nigeria. The traditional method involved using firewood while the modern method involved using charcoal charged smoking kiln to dry the fish. Laboratory analysis of 16 polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons was done by gas chromatography. The traditionally smoked fish contained significantly higher (P<0.05) concentrations of fluorene (0.63µg/ kg), anthracene (9.02µ/kg), Phenanthrene (3.34 µg/kg), pyrene (55.05 µg/kg) and benzo (a) anthracene (17.55 µg/kg) than the modern smoked fish. The average PAH concentration in traditionally smoked fish (14.568 µg/kg) was significantly higher (P<0.05) than the average PAH concentration in the modern smoked fish (4.404 µg/kg). However the maximum acceptable concentration for most PAHs was not exceeded in the smoked fish samples, therefore fish studied was declared wholesome for human consumption. Recommendation of efforts geared towards processing fish with methods using charcoal smoke instead of wood smoke was upheld in order to reduce the levels of PAHs in smoke dried fish.
Growth Performance and Nutrient Utilization of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Fed Processed Duckweed (Lemna paucicostata) Meal as Protein Source
Authors: Abdullahi Abdurrazzaq Ibrahim
Published: September 2023

Growth performance and nutrient utilization of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed processed duckweed (Lemna paucicostata) meal were evaluated. Blanching and sun-drying were employed as the processing methods. The blanched and sun-dried duckweed meals were used to replace toasted soybean meal in the diets of Nile tilapia at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% each. Nine iso-proteinous diets were formulated using the least cost feed formulation software. The feeding trials were conducted in 27 Hapa nets measuring 1m2 each for 24 weeks. Ten fingerlings of Nile tilapia were stocked per Hapa and fed three times daily at 5% biomass. The fish fed 75% blanched duckweed meal had the best mean weight gain (460.59g), feed conversion ratio (1.82) and protein efficiency ratio (12.67) while the fish fed 100% inclusion level of sun-dried duckweed meal and 100% of blanched duckweed meal diet had the poor mean weight gain, feed conversion ratio and protein efficiency ratio of 401.69g and 394.03g, 2.06 and 2.10, 11.05 and 10.37, respectively. This study revealed that blanched duckweed meal can replace toasted soybean meal in the diet of Nile tilapia at 75% without any unpropitious effect on the growth performance and nutrient utilization.
A Case Report of Norrie Disease with Congenital Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Authors: Huang Lihui
Published: September 2023

Norrie Disease (ND) is a rare X-linked recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the Norrie disease protein (NDP) gene on the X chromosome. This disorder leads to congenital or neonatal blindness, progressive hearing loss in adolescence, and cognitive or behavioral problems. Although hearing loss is a characteristic feature of ND, it is often overlooked due to the prominence of ocular symptoms. This article presents a rare case of ND in a 3-month-old boy who failed the universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) bilaterally, further audiological evaluation revealed bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Suggests that patients with ND may be born with congenital hearing loss, earlier than the previous reports. Addressing hearing loss at an early stage can help minimize the compounding effect on cognitive functioning and improve overall mental well-being.
Is there an Association of Glycosylated Haemoglobin A1c and Anthropometric Measurements in Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Breast Cancer Patients?
Authors: Rai Prashant Kumar
Published: September 2023

Background: Breast cancer is the commonest malignancy among women globally. It is a leading cause of cancer death in less developed countries and the second leading cause of cancer death in developed countries. Diabetes and breast cancer are two conditions that frequently coexist, and menopause may be a metabolic watershed. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and anthropometric measurements in premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer patients Methods: 100 patients diagnosed with breast cancer between December 2020 to November 2022 were evaluated and their HbA1c levels were correlated with anthropometric measurements and tumour characteristics Results: In our study mean age of the patients was 47.75 ±11.77 SD years. In patients with normal HbA1c 64% patients were pre-menopausal. In Pre-diabetic HbA1c group 70% were post-menopausal and in diabetic HbA1c group 93% were postmenopausal. Mean waist circumference was 84.56 ± 6.64 SD cms; more in pre-diabetic and diabetic patients; (p value 0.000). Most of the patients (71%) had waist to hip ratio ≥0.85 (p value 0.349). Pre-diabetic and diabetic patients were overweight (p value 0.000). 6 patients were known cases of type II diabetes mellitus and were on insulin/OHAs. T3 tumours were more common in both premenopausal and postmenopausal patients followed by T4 tumours. Stage IIB breast cancer was present in 39% of premenopausal and stage IIIA was seen in 30% of the postmenopausal patients. Grade II disease was more common in both premenopausal and postmenopausal (p value 0.858). Invasive ductal carcinoma-No special type (IDC-NST) was seen in 77% of the patients (p value 0.156). Estrogen Receptor (ER) positivity was seen in 42% of premenopausal and 33% of postmenopausal patients, negative Progesterone Receptor (PR) seen in 86% in premenopausal and 89% in postmenopausal patients and positive Her2 neu receptor was observed in 30% in premenopausal and 56% in postmenopausal patients. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that a considerable proportion of breast cancer patients were prediabetic. Glycaemic status and HbA1c were clearly associated with measures of visceral obesity in carcinoma of breast patients. Postmenopausal patients had higher levels of HbA1c compared to premenopausal cases. However; clinicopathological and tumour characteristics in our study didn’t demonstrate any significant correlation with glycaemic status and need more research and randomized controlled trials. Collectively, findings from our study particularly emphasize the need to control hyperglycemia and identify vulnerable groups of breast cancer patients who might benefit from interventions to improve glycaemic control.

Published: September 2023

O presente artigo visa explicar a forma como os partidos que integraram o VI Governo Provisório português – o Partido Comunista Português, o Partido Socialista e o Partido Popular Democrático – se posicionaram politicamente face ao reconhecimento do Governo angolano pelo Estado português, em fevereiro de 1976. Baseando-se nas atas do Conselho da Revolução e na imprensa periódica da época, o artigo argumenta que, durante o período em que a questão angolana foi discutida no seio do Estado português, o Partido Socialista e o Partido Popular Democrático influenciaram a tomada de decisão da legitimação do Governo angolano.
Satisfacción laboral en los maestros con algún grado de discapacidad en el sector educativo especial en México
Authors: Sarabia Alonso Ma. Teresa , Álvarez Cedillo Jesús Antonio , Álvarez Sánchez Teodoro , González Vásquez Alexis , Sandoval Gómez Raúl Junior
Published: September 2023

El presente estudio permitió revisar la normativa vigente relacionada con la atención y aplicación de la educación especial dirigida por la Unesco, la cual permite evitar la discriminación, la segregación y las etiquetas como un punto de partida relevante para el derecho que se tiene como individuos. La inclusión social establece los derechos que tienen todas y todos en la recepción y el gozo de una educación con una calidad suficiente que propicie el máximo desarrollo de las potencialidades de la formación educativa especial en México. Sin embargo, los maestros de educación incluyente que colaboran con estudiantes con alguna discapacidad física, auditiva o mental algunas veces no cuentan con los recursos mínimos para desarrollar sus actividades laborales. Por eso, el objetivo principal de esta investigación fue analizar el grado de satisfacción y los factores emocionales de los maestros con algún tipo de discapacidad que presentan en su rol a favor de la instrucción especial en México. Para ello, en primer lugar, se desarrolló un trabajo exploratorio para acercarse al tema estudiado; luego se analizó el grado de satisfacción de los 251 maestros con alguna discapacidad que participaron. Los resultados demuestran la falta de compresión de las autoridades escolares y la importancia de tener experiencia amplia frente a grupo. Por eso, se concluye que las principales causas que han limitado el desempeño de los docentes son las condiciones laborales y el aislamiento.

Procuramos, desta forma, gerar materialidades comprobatórias suficientes para avançar na elucidação de fatos ainda não devidamente esclarecidos, propiciando uma possível reparação histórica, sem precedentes no Brasil, sobre a colaboração de uma empresa de comunicação com a ditadura brasileira.
conselho das Américas e a ditadura brasileira
Authors: Hoeveler Rejane Carolina
Published: September 2023

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar a ação política empresarial desenvolvida pelo Conselho das Américas no Brasil desde sua fundação em 1965, em íntima conexão com o Instituto de Pesquisas e Estudos Sociais (IPES), até a criação do Conselho Empresarial Brasil-Estados Unidos (CEBEU), em 1975. Destaca-se a campanha midiática e publicitária a favor do empreendedorismo (ou “livre empresa”), com forte caráter anticomunista, no contexto da chamada Guerra Fria. Desse modo, procura-se compreender de que maneira o Conselho das Américas, fortemente vinculado ao empresariado brasileiro através de tais aparelhos, orientou as relações interamericanas e interempresariais no período em tela. Com base no conceito gramsciano de aparelho privado de hegemonia, e diálogo com a literatura especializada no tema, pretendemos descrever e interpretar criticamente as múltiplas frentes de atuação de tal organismo político empresarial.
Teatro além-mar
Authors: Paranhos Kátia Rodrigues
Published: September 2023

Depois do 25 de abril de 1974 – conhecido como Revolução dos Cravos ou Revolução de Abril –, que depôs o regime ditatorial do “Estado Novo”, uma movimentação profunda, marcada por uma combinação de teatro de tradição brechtiana, neorrealista e experimentalismo, foi ganhando espaço para constituir uma cena permeável a formas menos convencionais. Em sintonia com esse processo criativo, examino a trajetória do grupo A Barraca (dirigida por Maria do Céu Guerra e Hélder Costa, 1975), centrada maioritariamente sobre temas da história e da cultura portuguesas, levando em consideração o seu impulso de criação de dramaturgia(s), adaptações e montagens. Com base nessa experiência, busco realçar os sentidos do seu fazer teatral num redimensionamento de uma proposta de teatro popular de forte poder comunicativo que evidencia os sentidos de uma invenção teatral engajada e poética.
Liberdade e liberalismo
Authors: Forattini Fernando , Longhi Carla Reis
Published: September 2023

Os anos 1940 foram marcados por uma intensa atividade tanto no cenário internacional quanto no âmbito interno. Internacionalmente, as consequências do fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial, o início da Guerra Fria e as políticas internacionais adotadas pelos Estados Unidos influenciaram significativamente os acontecimentos globais. Domesticamente, tivemos o fim do Estado Novo e os intensos debates em torno de projetos de país. Nesta tecitura, os ideários políticos foram colocados em movimento, com longos debates sobre autoritarismo, liberalismo e democracia. O objetivo deste artigo é reconstruir parte desses debates, destacando as disputas em torno do tema da liberdade e, consequentemente, do liberalismo e do nascente neoliberalismo. Utilizaremos como ferramenta de análise os debates ocorridos nas três primeiras edições dos Congressos Brasileiros de Escritores (1945, 1947 e 1950), assim como a repercussão desses debates na imprensa. Através das categorias de "espaço de experiência" e "horizontes de expectativas", discutidas por Koselleck, buscamos compreender a contínua tensão e interação entre uma história dos conceitos e a história social na compreensão do período histórico em questão.
