Multirresistência bacteriana em urocultura de cães e gatos: estudo retrospectivo
Authors:   , Tunes Ana Laura Prestes , Duarte Jonathan Pereira
Published: June 2024

Testes de sensibilidade das bactérias aos antimicrobianos são de extrema importância na medicina veterinária, uma vez que o crescimento exponencial desses patógenos tem sido cada vez mais recorrente na clínica de pequenos animais. Sabe-se que as infecções do trato urinário (ITU) apresentam alta casuística e o consequente uso indiscriminado de antimicrobianos sem realização prévia da cultura e antibiograma tem favorecido a disseminação de bactérias multirresistentes, resultando em infecções cada vez mais difíceis de tratar em razão do alto custo envolvido e grau de patogenicidade. Objetivou-se neste trabalho elaborar um levantamento retrospectivo de 159 amostras de urocultura de cães e gatos de um laboratório veterinário de alto fluxo, na região de Sorocaba (São Paulo), avaliando-se as cepas bacterianas e suas resistências. Diante dos resultados levantados, sugere-se que há uma crescente prevalência de bactérias multirresistentes, sendo identificadas a E. coli 18,24%, S. intermedius 4,40%, Klebsiella spp 1,26%, Klebsiella pneumoniae 1,26% e Enterobacter spp 2,52% nas amostras avaliadas. Conclui-se que, a realização de tratamentos empíricos têm elevado as taxas de resistência aos antimicrobianos, o que resulta em um impacto negativo na Saúde Única, sendo necessária a aplicação de protocolos que sobreponham o uso de maneira seletiva e responsável dessas medicações no tratamento pelo médico veterinário.

Can equity mutual funds outperform the benchmark and simple passive portfolios?
Authors: Ajadi Adedeji
Published: June 2024

This study evaluates the risk-adjusted performance of equity mutual funds in Nigeria against the market benchmark and two alternative passive portfolios available to investors. Data on monthly net asset values (NAVs) of 30 actively managed, equity-based mutual funds that operated in Nigeria between 2012 and 2021 were collected and analyzed. Risk-adjusted performance measures including the Treynor ratio, Sharpe ratio, Jensen’s alpha, information ratio, Modigliani–Modigliani (M2) measure, Sortino ratio, and the Fama-French 3-factor regression model are used to evaluate the performance of mutual funds. Evidence shows that the Nigerian equity mutual fund portfolio does not deliver excess risk-adjusted returns, and underperforms the three simple passive portfolios against which it was benchmarked. However, mutual fund portfolios provide robust, low-cost diversification benefits and could be considered as part of a well-diversified portfolio of assets. This study explores investment strategies, with practical implications for investors, industry professionals, regulation, and academia. It provides a useful guide to retail investors and their advisers on managing their investment portfolios in the Nigerian stock market. In addition, it validates the veracity of the efficient-market hypothesis (EMH), implying that, on average, seeking alpha is, perhaps, a futile effort.
Curve fitting for seismic waves of earthquake with Hermite polynomials
Authors: Leventeli Yasemin , Simsek Yilmaz , Yilmazer Ilyas
Published: June 2024

We investigate and study on mathematical structures involving mathematical
models and others associated with seismic waves in an earthquake. Our first
aim is to give some novel formulas and certain finite sums including the
Bernoulli numbers and the Hermite polynomials with the aid of generating
functions, the Riemann integral, and the Volkenborn integral. The second aim
is to examine the seismic wave propagation in different geological units
with the help of special polynomials containing the Hermite polynomials and
their graph fitting of functions. To evaluate the shape of the seismic waves
propagating within the ground (rock and/or soil), we use comparing method
with the graph of the Hermite polynomials and functions and the polynomial
Rocking Bearings. Furthermore, we also define generating function for the
polynomial type Rocking Bearings. We give open problems on this generating
function and earthquake facts. By applying partial derivative operator to
the generating function for the m-parametric Hermite type polynomials, we
give a novel recurrence relation and derivative formulas for these
polynomials. We also give a new general formula for monomials in terms of
these polynomials. Moreover, for the purpose of visualizing curve fitting
approach to the seismic waves, we draw many plots of the Hermite functions
with Mathematica (Version 12.0.0) with their codes. Finally, with the aid of
these graphs, we give useful evaluation on the shapes of the seismic waves
propagated in the ground (rock and/or soil).

An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Residence Permit Appeals at the Administrative Courts of Finland: Acquiescence Bias by Legalised Judicial Injustices in Finland
Authors: Ojwang Frank
Published: June 2024

Arctic law and politics are heavily focused on citizens and their welfare. In recent times, migration has led to an increase in immigrants to the Arctic region, expanding discussions on diversity, equality, and inclusion. This article analyses immigrant experiences of the wheels of justice when appealing extended-residence decisions in Finland. There has been research on residence applications but there is no previous research on appealing residence decisions in Finland. Using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), the article analyses four Africans’ experiences of (in)justice during residence permit decision appeals lodged through the administrative courts in Finland 2011–2020. The article uses the Renault concept to argue and underscore the experiences of injustice and to underscore the gathered, analysed emerging themes and the patterns observed in the handling of the residence permit appeal cases from a legal and political perspective. The information was gathered through in-depth interviews using open-ended, structured questions, and the analysis of personal text and information was collated using MAXQDA software. The article highlights the incidences of human rights violations, injustice, mental health and well-being issues, inadequate information and distrust of the administrative justice system, and the risk that this poses to Arctic law and politics as right-wing politics are on the rise.

Weiterbildungs-Return-on-Investment: Vermeidung von Bildung im Blindflug!
Authors: Richter Christoph
Published: June 2024

Trotz eines jährlichen Kostenvolumens von 12 Mrd. € [1] für betriebliche Weiterbildung in Deutschland bleibt weitgehend offen, inwiefern Effektivität und Effizienz dieses Ressourceneinsatzes untersucht werden. Lediglich 43 % der weiterbildenden Unternehmen bewerten ihre Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen [2]. Die übrigen Unternehmen beschränken sich auf die Feststellung der Teilnahme an der jeweiligen Weiterbildungsmaßnahme. Von den Unternehmen, die Bewertungen zu Weiterbildungsmaßnahmen durchführen, untersuchen knapp 50 % die Auswirkungen der Weiterbildung auf Abteilungs- und Unternehmensleistungen [3]. Im Rahmen eines unternehmensinternen Untersuchungsprojektes wurde der Frage nachgegangen, unter welchen Voraussetzungen sich die Einführung des Kennzahlensystems Weiterbildungs-Return-on-Investment (Weiterbildungs-ROI) für die Steuerung von Weiterbildungsausgaben eignet. Als ein Projektergebnis ist festzuhalten, dass sich mit diesem Kennzahlensystem ein verstärkter Fokus auf den Zweck von Weiterbildung lenken lässt. Weiterbildungen im Projektmanagement (PM) eignen sich zum Einstieg in die Anwendung des Evaluationsmodells. Chancen und Herausforderungen werden sichtbar, da das Beherrschen von Projektmanagement unterschiedliche Lernebenen betrifft. Auf der kognitiven Ebene geht es um das Erlernen einer Systematik zur Aufgabenerledigung. Inwieweit diese Systematik verstanden worden ist, lässt sich z. B. anhand von Zertifikatsprüfungen feststellen. Schulungen im Projektmanagement sollen aber auch dazu beitragen, ein „Projektmindset“ zu entwickeln, das u. a. mit Ergebnisorientierung und mit der Fähigkeit zum Perspektivenwechsel einhergeht. Inwieweit die Entwicklung dieser Kompetenzen, die sich regelmäßig über einen längeren Zeitraum erstreckt, auf die Weiterbildungsmaßnahme zurückführbar ist, lässt sich lediglich tendenziell über z. B. Interviews mit Vorgesetzten ableiten.

Authors:   Bradley University, Illinois, USA, Lee Nathan , Kessler Deborah ,   Bradley University, Illinois, USA
Published: June 2024

This study examines the discrepancies and underlying factors in access to healthcare resources regarding breast and cervical cancer for Latinas in a mid-sized urban midwestern community. A survey was conducted at clinics hosted by a local non-profit organization, and forty participants completed surveys for this study (n=40). Bivariate correlation analysis in SPSS determined that significant positive correlations were found between the subjects’ knowledge of the signs and symptoms of cervical cancer and their knowledge of the recommended frequency of receiving pap smears (p<0.01). Additionally, significant positive correlations were found between whether a subject had a primary care physician and their awareness of the resources available to them regarding breast and cervical cancer (p<0.01). Also, this study suggests that existing discrepancies in critical healthcare screening exist within the targeted community and are similar or worse than findings from larger urban regions throughout the US.

Semakin berkurangnya jumlah bahan bakar fosil yang tersedia telah mendorong kebutuhan akan sumber energi alternatif dan terbarukan. Oleh karena itu, pencarian untuk menemukan sumber bahan alternatif yang dapat diperbarui, ekonomis, dan ramah lingkungan menjadi suatu kegiatan yang sangat penting untuk pengembangan sumber energi yang lebih berkelanjutan. Salah satu solusinya adalah melalui penggunaan Biobriket, yaitu briket atau arang yang dihasilkan dari limbah biomassa seperti dedaunan, ranting, jerami, kayu, dan berbagai jenis bahan hayati lainnya. Pembuatan Biobriket dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor, termasuk bahan yang digunakan, kehalusan arang hasil karbonisasi, massa jenis arang, temperatur karbonisasi, variasi komposisi, dan tekanan pada proses pencetakan. Biobriket ini memiliki keunggulan dalam menghasilkan asap yang sangat sedikit, bahkan hanya timbul saat proses penyalaan. Pada penelitian ini, biobriket dibuat sedemikian rupa dengan menggunakan campuran tempurung kelapa dan kayu rambutan dengan komposisi yang berbeda-beda. Dua perekat digunakan pada penelitian ini, yaitu molase dan tepung kanji. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa campuran briket dengan kualitas terbaik adalah briket dengan komposisi campuran 90% arang dan 10% perekat (molase dan pati kanji). Hal ini disimpulkan dari beberapa faktor pengujian yaitu, densitas, shutter index, laju pembakaran, dan sisa abu. Penelitian ini telah berhasil memberikan wawasan mengenai pembuatan biobriket dengan menggunakan bahan baku tempurung kelapa dan kayu rambutan berperekat molase dan tepung kanji.

Published: June 2024

Mesin perkakas CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) merupakan alat yang sangat penting dan banyak digunakan dalam proses manufaktur produk. Mesin perkakas CNC adalah suatu mesin perkakas yang dikendalikan oleh komputer menggunakan kode angka dan huruf sehingga secara otomatis menjalankan operasi pemesinan sesuai dengan perintah yang tersusun dalam kode-kode tersebut. Jika dibandingkan dengan mesin perkakas konvensional yang setaraf dan sejenis, mesin perkakas CNC lebih unggul baik dari segi ketelitian, ketepatan, fleksibilitas, dan kapasitas produksi. Salah satu mesin CNC yang banyak digunakan di Indonesia adalah Mesin Milling CNC EMCO TU-3A buatan EMCO Austria. Mesin ini biasanya digunakan oleh institusi pendidikan untuk mendukung praktikum. Namun, karena teknologi yang sudah tidak kompatibel (tidak mendukung teknologi CAM - Computer Aided Manufacturing) dan tidak sesuai dengan standar industri, mesin ini sudah jarang digunakan lagi. Bahkan pada beberapa institusi, mesin ini hanya tersimpan di gudang atau dibuang begitu saja. Hal ini tentu menyebabkan kerugian bagi institusi tersebut. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan solusi untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan tersebut. Salah satunya adalah dengan merekayasa ulang mesin tersebut dengan spesifikasi yang lebih baik serta kompatibel dengan teknologi saat ini, yaitu teknologi CAM. CAM merupakan teknologi komputer yang mengubah desain tiga dimensi pada komputer menjadi gerak operasi sebuah mesin sehingga dapat menghasilkan benda yang sesuai dengan desain. Proses ini melibatkan dua tahapan, yakni: mengubah desain tiga dimensi menjadi kode yang dipahami oleh mesin, kemudian mengontrol mesin berdasarkan kode tersebut. Penelitian ini menghasilkan mesin Milling CNC yang memiliki kemampuan ketelitian operasi 0.005 mm dengan mengintegrasikan prototipe kontrol dengan teknologi CAM ke dalam mesin.

Authors: Solihin Ade , Zaenudin Mohamad , Saleh Yasya Khalif Perdana
Published: June 2024

Kebutuhan energi yang terus meningkat diiringi pertumbuhan populasi dan ekonomi global mendorong pencarian solusi alternatif. Blueprint Pengelolaan Energi Nasional 2006-2025 Indonesia menetapkan target energi untuk tahun 2025, termasuk peningkatan penggunaan batu bara dan energi terbarukan. Limbah tempurung kelapa dan cangkang kemiri, yang masih belum optimal dimanfaatkan, menjadi fokus penelitian ini untuk digunakan sebagai bahan bakar alternatif dalam bentuk briket. Penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan berbagai cara efisien untuk memanfaatkan kedua limbah tersebut. Modifikasi kompor briket dengan tempurung kelapa menghasilkan briket dengan nilai kalor tinggi, sementara briket cangkang kemiri dapat mengurangi polusi dan meningkatkan efisiensi termal. Penelitian ini mencoba mencampur kedua limbah ini dengan berbagai komposisi untuk mengevaluasi efektivitasnya sebagai pengganti minyak tanah yang semakin langka. Penggunaan tempurung kelapa dalam briket umum, namun, dapat menjadi mahal. Oleh karena itu, solusi yang diajukan adalah menambahkan limbah pertanian, seperti cangkang kemiri, untuk mengurangi biaya produksi tanpa mengorbankan kualitas briket. Penelitian ini membandingkan berbagai komposisi briket, termasuk CK50% + TK50%, CK40% + TK60%, CK60% + TK40%, CK30% + TK70%, CK70% + TK30%, CK20% + TK80%, dan CK80% + TK20%. Parameter yang diuji melibatkan kadar air, kadar abu, waktu pembakaran, dan shutter index. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa komposisi CK60% + TK40% dan CK20% + TK80% menunjukkan performa terbaik. Keduanya memberikan briket dengan daya tahan tinggi, stabilitas, dan efisiensi waktu pembakaran optimal. Kombinasi CK30% + TK70% dan CK20% + TK80% menunjukkan kadar air dan kadar abu stabil, sementara CK50% + TK50%, CK20% + TK80%, dan CK30% + TK70% menunjukkan waktu pembakaran yang lebih lama. Shutter index pada CK60% + TK40% dan CK20% + TK80% menunjukkan daya tahan yang kuat.

Faktor-Faktor yang Mendorong Human-Trafficking: Kajian Di Kabupaten Indramayu Jawa Barat
Authors: Sanusi Burhanudin
Published: June 2024

Kasus perdagangan manusia di Jawa Barat, khususnya di Kabupaten Indramayu, dari tahun ke tahun, terus mengalami peningkatan yang cukup signifikan. Dari latar belakang itu, pertanyaannya kemudian adalah mengapa kenyataan tersebut tidak menyurutkan niat para calon urban labor. Penelitian ini mau mengungkap faktor-faktor apa saja yang mendorong menguatnya fenomena  urban labor tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan logika alur fikir fenomenologis-antropologis dengan mengaitkannya pada usaha mengungkap alasan maupun latar belakang seseorang, kelompok, ataupun organisasi dalam bersikap maupun bertindak.
