Análise dos componentes da estratégia de marketing de conteúdo em organizações business to business (B2B): estudo de caso de uma empresa software as a service (SaaS)
Authors: Belchior Mauricio Alexandre , Mendonça Paulo Sergio Miranda
Published: September 2024

O marketing de conteúdo é uma estratégia exercida pelas empresas desde o século passado para informar e educar os consumidores sobre assuntos relacionados à marca. Porém, foi através das transformações digitais e da difusão de diversos canais digitais, onde as marcas podem criar e compartilhar informações para interagir com seus consumidores, que a estratégia foi impulsionada e elevada para outro patamar. Atualmente, as empresas B2B, assim como as B2C, utilizam da estratégia para alcançar diversos resultados como aumentar a visibilidade de marca, melhorar o engajamento com os consumidores, gerar leads e aumentar as vendas. Apesar de todo o potencial apresentado pelo marketing de conteúdo em empresas B2B, que é fortemente difundido no dia a dia das equipes de marketing, pouco do assunto é explorado nas pesquisas acadêmicas e quando feito é confundido com outros termos como redes sociais. Em vista disso, a presente pesquisa buscou investigar como o marketing de conteúdo é aplicado na prática em empresas B2B levando em consideração os principais componentes da estratégia. Para cumprir com o objetivo de pesquisa e aprofundar as análises acerca da temática, realizou-se um estudo de caso qualitativo com a equipe de marketing de conteúdo de uma empresa SaaS do segmento de cartões corporativos. Para a coleta de dados foram utilizadas entrevistas em profundidade com os membros que compõe a equipe de marketing de conteúdo, que fornecerem informações sobre como a estratégia é planejada, executada, mensurada e divulgada dentro da organização.

How Do Political Organisations Maintain Relationships With Their Publics: A Public Relations Perspective
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Maye Aislainn
Published: September 2024

"Significance of the study: Political Parties need to diversify ways of communicating with publics. Times are changing and more people focusing on what our public representatives are doing and how active they are within their communities. Looking outside traditional methods of communication is necessary and the use of successful public relations and communications strategies with graduates can contribute to the overall effectiveness of a political party or political representative in times of election. Approach: The research took place in two stages. The first was an extensive literary review and looking a sources of information like reports, publications and journal articles. The second stage was to conduct qualitative research which would involve interviewing a number of political representatives or active members of political parties who could provide insight into how a party functions. Also a number of voters were interviewed to get their perspective on communications tactics and how they impacted the voters. A semi structured interview was used for all interviews to determine the types of public relations strategies used to maintain relationships with voters. Results: The results indicate that political parties and representatives function in all communities across the Republic of Ireland. The model of two way communication seems to be one of the most utilised alongside one way communication which is still a popular choice in the political world. None of the political groups fit the criteria for practicing excellent public relations. Furthermore, the study identifies that there is an acceptance that public relations needs to be a part of the political parties structure."
The Performance Of Irish Grown Timber Composites Under Fire Conditions
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Murphy Cillian
Published: September 2024

"In comparison with many European countries Ireland does not make the most effective use of its native timber. It is good economic and environmental practice to promote the more efficient utilization of this natural resource. In recent years there has been a revival in the use of timber in multi-storey construction which predominantly utilises load bearing exposed timber composite members. These timber composites are typically manufactured in Europe using European timber. The current study investigates the viability of using Irish grown timber composites as a direct replacement in these load bearing members. The main areas of focus will be the performance of these composites under fire conditions. From initial research undertaken, one of the main issues with Irish grown timber species was found to be its low strength and density. The low density is of critical importance due to the detrimental effect it has on the fire resistance of members. To date, limited information is available on the mechanical properties of Irish grown timber and virtually no information exists on their performance in fire conditions. It was therefore proposed to undertake an assessment into the potential increase in performance of an Irish hardwood /softwood composite timber member under fire conditions. The study combines an experimental and a numerical method for the determination of the charring rates in Irish grown timber and the performance of the hardwood/softwood composite. Experimental tests were undertaken on both solid samples and composite samples of Irish grown timber. The samples were exposed to the ISO standard fire curve for a period of 60 minutes using gas-fired kiln. Finally, the finite element software program, ANSYS, was used to produce thermomechanical models of a number of composite beams, so as to predict their performance under fire conditions."
An Assessment Of Phosphorus Recovery From Dairy Wastewater
Authors:   ,   Cork Institute of Technology, Kelleher Éanna
Published: September 2024

"Phosphorus is an important nutrient for plant and animal life. It is one of the three essential nutrients required for plant growth; Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. It plays a vital role in the quality and structure of plants. In animals it is essential for the transfer of energy around the body and for the development of the skeleton. Phosphorus is mined from deposits of phosphate rock and is mainly used to produce fertiliser which is applied to agricultural land to improve plant growth. However, phosphorus is a finite resource and, similar to oil, is expected to peak during this century. After this peak, phosphorus will become increasingly scarce and expensive. Unlike oil, phosphorus cannot be replaced by other sources and it is therefore imperative that the peak of phosphorus, followed by its depletion, is offset. Phosphorus is currently recovered from wastewater streams through wastewater sludge. The sludge is typically treated and applied to land as a replacement to fertiliser. The dairy industry is one industry which carries out land spreading of its wastewater sludge. The sludge from the dairy industry currently offsets less than 2% of phosphorus containing fertiliser (P fertiliser) in Ireland. However, this may increase as consumption of P fertiliser is declining in Ireland. There are also two issues which may have an impact on dairy wastewater sludge; the abolition of the milk quota system in 2015 and the possible future ban on land spreading of wastewater sludge. The abolition of the milk quota system is expected to cause an increase in milk production in Ireland of 11.6% by 2020. This will cause some increase in the production of dairy wastewater sludge. However, there is a limited landbank to which the sludge may be applied. Therefore land spreading may not be an option. Switzerland has stopped land spreading sewage sludge and now incinerates all of its sewage sludge. Should Ireland decide to ban land spreading of sludge, a new method of dealing with the sludge will have to be introduced. Aqua Critox supercritical oxidation (SCWO) is a new technology which treats sludge. SCWO can destroy 99.99% of all organic material leaving only clean water and an inert residue. The residue can be used as a construction material or landfilled meaning no land spreading of sludge is needed. The process also allows for the recovery of phosphorus which can be used as an ingredient for fertiliser. This would provide an option should land spreading of sludge become unavailable and would provide an opportunity to offset the peak of phosphorus. The SCWO process will be applied to the dairy industry in the next stage of the thesis to as a possible alternative to land spreading of sludge."

EFICACIA DE INTERVENCIONES BREVES PARA EL MANEJO DEL INSOMNIO EN ATENCIÓN PRIMARIA.
Authors: Ana María Sánchez Arnas
Published: September 2024

El insomnio es uno de los trastornos del sueño más comunes tratados en atención primaria, afectando aproximadamente al 30% de la población adulta en algún momento de su vida1. Este trastorno no solo disminuye la calidad de vida de los pacientes, sino que también está asociado con un aumento en el riesgo de desarrollar otras condiciones médicas como la hipertensión, la diabetes y trastornos del estado de ánimo2. Los tratamientos convencionales para el insomnio incluyen el uso de medicamentos hipnóticos, que aunque efectivos en el corto plazo, están asociados con efectos secundarios adversos y el riesgo de dependencia3. En este contexto, ha surgido un creciente interés en las intervenciones no farmacológicas, especialmente aquellas que pueden ser aplicadas en un contexto de atención primaria con recursos limitados. Este trabajo explora la eficacia de intervenciones breves para el manejo del insomnio, con el objetivo de proporcionar directrices prácticas para su implementación en la práctica clínica diaria.
Phytopathological situation in the soil as a component of the urban (urbanized) environment
Authors: Ларина Г.Е.
Published: September 2024

В городской среде под влиянием растительности в корневой зоне идут процессы активного почвообразования с участием большого разнообразия биоты, в т.ч. фитопатогенной. Структура почвенного микробного сообщества представлена разными экологическими группами дрожжеподобных грибов, актиномицетов, бактерий, микромицетов и др., обилие которых активно изменяется в условиях города, в том числе, под влиянием мероприятий, проводимых по содержанию зеленых насаждений (агротехнические и агрохимические работы). В условиях урбанизированной среды у древесных растений снижена устойчивость к возбудителям болезней и вредителям, конкурентоспособность по отношению к сорным растениям. Это приводит к формированию в корневой зоне «критических» нарушений или «микологических эффектов», снижению фунгистазиса почв. Формирование ассоциации фитопатогенов в корневой зоне и ризосфере является индикатором роста фитотоксичности почвы (в т.ч. почвоутомление), подавления фунгистазиса почвы и направленного снижения функциональности зеленых насаждений.

In the urban environment, under the influence of vegetation in the root zone, processes of active soil formation take place with the participation of a wide variety of biota, incl. phytopathogenic. The structure of the soil microbial community is represented by different ecological groups of yeast-like fungi, actinomycetes, bacteria, micromycetes, etc., the abundance of which is actively changing in the city, including under the influence of measures taken to maintain green spaces (agrotechnical and agrochemical works). In the conditions of an urbanized environment, woody plants have reduced resistance to pathogens and pests, competitiveness in relation to weeds. This leads to the formation of “critical” disturbances or “mycological effects” in the root zone, and a decrease in soil fungistasis. The formation of an association of phytopathogens in the root zone and rhizosphere is an indicator of an increase in soil phytotoxicity (including soil fatigue), suppression of soil fungistasis, and a directed decrease in the functionality of green spaces.

Purpose of Research: This study aims to evaluate the impact of various artificial sweeteners on gut microbiota and their potential health implications. Research Materials and Methods: A literature review was conducted using PubMed, focusing on keywords such as gut microbiota, artificial sweeteners, non-nutritive sweeteners, and intestinal microbiota. The review includes descriptions of sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, acesulfame K, and stevia, as well as their metabolism and effects on the human body. Primary Results: Artificial sweeteners can disrupt gut microbiota balance, reducing beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus while increasing pathogenic bacteria such as Clostridium difficile and E. coli. Clinical trials show mixed results, with some studies indicating significant changes in microbiota composition and diversity, while others show no substantial effects. Differences influence the variability in study outcomes in participants' initial microbiota composition, lifestyle, and dietary habits. Conclusions: Artificial sweeteners impact gut microbiota, but the extent and nature of these effects still need to be fully understood. Further standardized, long-term research is required to clarify these effects and determine whether the benefits of artificial sweeteners outweigh potential risks to gut health. Advanced research methods like metagenomics and next-generation sequencing will enhance our understanding of artificial sweeteners' interaction with gut microbiota, aiding in comprehensive health assessments.
Demonstration of SiC n-channel MOSFETs fabricated on a high-purity semi-insulating substrate and investigation of the short-channel effects
Authors: Toshimitsu Shion , Tachiki Keita , Kaneko Mitsuaki , Kimoto Tsunenobu
Published: September 2024

N-channel MOSFETs fabricated on a high-purity semi-insulating (HPSI) 4H-SiC substrate were demonstrated. The fabricated MOSFETs exhibited normally-off transistor operation and the peak field effect mobility (μ
FE,peak) was 30 cm2 V−1 s−1, which was lower than that of the p−-body MOSFETs (N
A = 2 × 1015 cm−3). The critical channel length (L
crit) was 1.48 μm for the HPSI MOSFETs, which was shorter than that for the p−-body MOSFETs. In the HPSI MOSFETs, electrons trapped by the compensating defects in the HPSI substrate increase as the Fermi level moves up, which may be the main cause for the resulting low μ
FE,peak and short L
crit.

EFFICACY OF TOPICAL STEROIDS IN TREATING SEVERE VIRAL CONJUNCTIVITIS: A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL
Authors: Gupta Silka , Goel Rajesh , Upadhyay Sukriti
Published: September 2024

Background: Viral conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, is a major cause of ocular morbidity. While mild cases
typically resolve without intervention, severe cases require medical treatment due to signicant discomfort and potential
complications. This study aims to evaluate the efcacy of topical steroids, which are often reserved for severe cases due to their potent antiinammatory effects, in the treatment of severe viral conjunctivitis. This randomized controlled tr Methods: ial included 50 patients with severe
viral conjunctivitis, divided into two groups. Group A received 0.5% Moxioxacin eye drops, 0.5% Carboxymethyl Cellulose eye lubricants, and
cold compresses with oral analgesics as needed. Group B received the same treatment plus Loteprednol eye drops, a mild topical steroid.
Treatment lasted for two weeks, with clinical reviews every three days to assess symptoms and monitor potential complications. There Results:
was no signicant difference in the age and sex distribution between the groups. Discomfort levels assessed on a four-point scale showed
signicant improvement in Group B over Group A on days 3 and 6 (p<0.001), suggesting an accelerated relief from symptoms. By day 14, both
groups showed no signicant difference in discomfort levels, indicating that steroids do not alter the long-term course of the viral infection.
Conclusion: The addition of topical steroids to the standard treatment regimen for severe viral conjunctivitis can signicantly improve shortterm symptomatic relief. However, they do not inuence the overall progression of the disease. This study supports the judicious use of steroids in
severe cases, balancing efcacy with the potential for adverse effects.

Despite the significance of crop in study area, there was lack of knowledge on crop and response to B. japonicum. The study was conducted at Maale district of South omo zone southern Ethiopia to investigate the response of soybean varieties to B. japonicum. It was consisted of a factorial combination of seven soybean varieties namely, Awassa-95, Nyala, Nova, Awassa-04, Gozella, Afgat, and Pawe-2 with two levels of inoculation, with and without B. japonicum. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications was used. Data were collected on phonological, nodule, growth, yield, and yield related parameters. The analysis of variance showed all measured parameters, except the number of seed pod-1 such as canopy spread, plant height, number of primary branches, number of nodules, number of effective nodules, above ground biomass yield, 1000 seed weight, harvest index, were significantly (p< 0.01) affected by B. japonicum. The interaction of varieties with B.japonicum were also significantly affected the number of pod plant-1 and grain yield ha-1.The maximum grain yield (2017.50 kg ha-1) was recorded from Awasssa-04 with B. japonicum. Based on the economic analysis, Awassa-95, Nova and Nyala variety with B. japonicum gave the higher value of economic return respectively, however, these varieties gave a lower grain yield. Therefore, a combination of Awassa-04 with B.japonicum is ideal for achieving maximum grain yield and Awassa-95, Nova and Nyala with B.japonicum was economically feasible options.

Geopolítica de la internacionalización universitaria: asignaturas pendientes
Authors: Didou Aupetiit Sylvie
Published: September 2024

La consolidación de los procesos de internacionalización en las universidades de América Latina, durante los pasados 25 años, ha catalizado la movilidad de estudiantes internacionales en la región. El incremento de los flujos, muy visible, ha sido profusamente estudiado por los investigadores y por los expertos, en perspectivas comparativas y nacionales. Los aumentos en las cifras de estudiantes y de académicos internacionales constituyen, de hecho, los principales indicadores utilizados por las autoridades gubernamentales y por las instituciones de educación superior (IES) para medir sus avances en materia de internacionalización. Son importantes per se, pero notoriamente insuficientes para mejorar programas de colaboración, tensionados entre la resolución de los grandes problemas educativos nacionales y los imperativos de integración económica y política en las escalas sub o interregional

Using Text-based Integrated Approach (TBIA) in ESP Writing Class: Pedagogics and Carry Outs in Learning a Second Language
Authors: - Susana Melon-Galvez
Published: September 2024

Success in teaching and learning is dependent on a close match among reader goals, text characteristics, reader proficiencies, and instructional context (Mumba and Mkandawire (2019). It would be unnatural for learners to acquire understanding of the realm of the world unless they experience the thinking and gaining of insights from people around them. They need to explore on new trails and get involve to achieve specific explicit or even implicit goal. In order to attain such accomplishment, students need communication texts and use communicative approach to stimulate learning. To Mickan (2019), text and context, matched with their needs, should be carefully chosen to trigger learners’ attentiveness and involvement. Instructional approaches to learning a second language should be used to test their knowledge of their cultural context, and not only their level difficulty but also their familiarity of the discourse.
The study utilized the use of Text-Based Integrated Approach (TBIA).
In doing so, the erstwhile instructional device, the Text-Based Instruction (TBI), was discussed to see their differences and find out which stratagem would fit the new generation second language learners. To get on to the researcher’s purpose of utilizing TBIA, two (2) language learning categories were applied; the working on the text, and the working from the text. It was revealed that they acquired better understanding of new vocabularies on their own by reading these new words in context evolving around specific topics.
The Influence of Macroeconomic Factors on Mergers and Acquisitions and Stock Market Performance
Authors: - Naina Lakra
Published: September 2024

This study examines the impact of macroeconomic factors on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and stock market performance. The research highlights how key variables such as GDP growth, interest rates, inflation, and unemployment influence corporate strategies and investor behavior, shaping economic landscapes and market dynamics. Strong GDP growth is found to correlate with increased M&A activity and stock market bullishness due to heightened corporate profitability and investor optimism. Conversely, recessions or slow GDP growth reduce M&A activity and market confidence. Lower interest rates stimulate M&A by reducing borrowing costs, while higher rates deter acquisitions and depress stock prices. Inflation impacts corporate profitability and investor sentiment, with high inflation driving companies toward acquisitions for economies of scale, but prolonged inflation erodes profit margins and market appeal. Unemployment rates indirectly affect M&A through consumer spending and business confidence, with low unemployment fostering M&A and high unemployment dampening investor sentiment and market stability. The study underscores the importance of understanding these macroeconomic interplays for policymakers, businesses, and investors navigating global economic uncertainties and advancements. Future research should focus on technological, geopolitical, and environmental factors further influencing these dynamics.

Criminal Psychology
Authors: - Sakshi Joshi
Published: September 2024

Criminology is the study of crimes and criminals as to know about crimes we need to know the factors affecting it too. According to Webster, “It is the scientific study of crime as a social phenomena or criminals and their mental traits, habits, discipline etc.” It is the science of criminal behaviour. Now, What leads to criminal activity in society? Is it a nature or nurture? Certain factors of causation of crimes are Poverty, Peer Pressure, Drug abuse, Politics, Religion differences, Unemployment, Unfair Justice System etc. But there are two main factors affecting criminal behaviour in society :-Environmental Factor :- It means the kind of people with whom he or she is surrounded with. It may include abused childhood, alcoholic parents, bullying in schools and colleges, use of abusive language, stress, domestic violence, Drug or substance abuse, traumatisation and harassment. Biological Factor :- Is someone born to be a criminal ? Dr Adrian Raine conducted a research upon violent criminals and wrote a book “Anatomy of Violence”. When a woman consumes alcohol or substance abuse during her pregnancy, it will affect the mind of an unborn child, there will be hormonal imbalance or syndrome and the brain will not develop completely. The “Pre-Frontal Cortex” is a Guardian Angel of behaviour. Criminals who have poor functioning of pre-frontal cortex, they commit crimes in a fit of rage. Criminals who have high functioning of pre-frontal cortex, they commit crimes with methodical process.The “Amygdala” is a Seat of Emotions.  It control emotions such as empathy , remorse , conscience etc. Brain scans revealed that psychopathy in criminals was associated with poor connectivity between weak Amygdala and strong pre-frontal cortex. Some criminals have low resting heart-rate due to which, they have lack of fear while committing a crime.Therefore, the causes of psychopathy remains a mystery.

Materials and method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 250 randomly selected subjects aged between 18- 25 years. Hormonal fingerprints were obtained by measuring the length ratio of the index to the ring finger with the help of a digital vernier caliper. Caries status was assessed by using decayed, missing due to caries and filled (DMFT) index which were according to WHO assessment form 2013. The entire subjects were split into two groups high 2D:4D and low 2D:4D ratio based on the calculations.
Results: Based on the findings, it was found that 29% were males and 45% were females with 2D:4D ≥1 whereas 71% of males and 55% of females had 2D:4D <1. The high DMFT score was higher in the low 2D:4D ratio as compared to the high ratio and this difference was statistically significant. (p= 0.02)
Conclusion: The study confirms a positive association between hormonal fingerprints and dental caries.
Astroscience: A Tool for Prediction Vs. Introspection: A Critical Analysis
Authors: - Dr. Shipra Saxena
Published: September 2024

Astrology, often referred to as a branch of Astroscience, has been employed for millennia, serving dual purposes as both a predictive tool and a means for introspection. This paper critically examines the dual nature of astrology, focusing on its historical and contemporary applications. The predictive aspect, which hinges on the positions of celestial bodies and their supposed influence on earthly events, is scrutinized alongside astrology's role in providing insights into psychological archetypes, spiritual connections, and personality traits. By exploring the interplay between these two perspectives, this research aims to present a nuanced understanding of astrology's complex role in human life.

Published: September 2024

Hylocereus undatus or white dragon fruit is a vine-like cactus that is commonly grown as both an ornamental plant and a fruit crop. However, their response to various abiotic stresses is understudied. Once transferred to the soil, the plants are exposed to different abiotic stresses caused by extreme salinity, drought, pH changes, and oxidative responses. This will either affect its growth or fruit production. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of various abiotic stress which are common in agricultural areas in vitro. The seeds of white dragon fruit were germinated in Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with of 2.0 mg/L  6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and 0.5 mg/L 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) before the shoots formed were induced in MS with different abiotic stress which were drought, salinity, pH and oxidative stress. The shoot and the root length were recorded at the fourth week of culture. Interestingly, slight drought stress with 20 g/L polyethylene glycol (PEG) 8000 induced shoot growth but further increase of PEG 8000 reduced shoot length significantly. Shoot length was the most inhibited at 200 mM NaCl and root failed to grow at this concentration. Shoot and root growth under pH stress was the lowest at pH 8. The length of shoot and root under oxidative stress were seen to decrease gradually with increase of H2O2 concentration but this was only significant in roots. In conclusion, roots were more vulnerable to some abiotic stresses than shoots were. A greater magnitude of stressors can be tested for further information of H. undatus tolerance to abiotic stresses.

RELIGION AND SECULARITY AS VALUE ORIENTATIONS
Authors: Sukhareva Evgenia Sergeevna
Published: September 2024

The difference between religious and secular consciousness is manifested in the value hierarchy. Religion is based on fundamental values, with God as the highest value in a strict hierarchy. Secular consciousness is based on scientific criteria, pluralism and personal values, which are borrowed and reinterpreted. Secularization has led to the relativization of the religious worldview and the privatization of religion, reducing its social significance.
