Authors: ŞIŞMAN Deniz , ŞIŞMAN Mehmet , YANIK Ahmet Hamdi
Published: March 2023

This paper is dedicated to specific research on the information and communications technologies (ICT) sector, where the variables determine labour demand in the European Union (EU) and Türkiye. The research aims to clarify the relationships between employment-generating firm growth that represents labour demand and the independent variables identified by the authors. For this purpose, our method analyses the factors affecting labour demand econometrically. In the study, a panel data set of 22 countries, including 21 EU countries and Türkiye, is used for the period of 2014-2019. The results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between employment in the ICT sector and real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and frequency of internet use. In addition, the results show that the relationship between employment and wage level in the ICT sector is negative and significant. According to the results obtained from the Fixed Effects (FE) model, the elasticity coefficients of the independent variables in the model present for wages (1.53), GDP per capita (3.27) and frequency of internet use (1.60). Finally, we have discussed the results estimated by the Shadow Variable Least Squares (LSDV) method to measure the impact of each country on the overall variability in employment level. As a result of the study, when labour demand is associated with firm employment increase, the countries in the target geography where a significant and positive relationship was found are Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and Türkiye.

The NR latex (NRL) industry contributes to ammonia pollution, a problem that is difficult to solve. To address this issue, N,N-methylenebismorpholine (MBM) was used to prepare ammonia-free concentrated NRL (CNRL). The effect of MBM on the preservation and properties of CNRL was studied through comparison with high-ammonia (HA) CNRL. Results showed that MBM had an excellent preservation effect on ammonia-free CNRL. When the MBM dosage exceeded 0.35%, the volatile fatty acid value of CNRL was relatively stable and was consistently less than 0.06 over 180 days of storage. The prepared ammonia-free CNRL had lower viscosity and pH, and its mechanical stability test (MST) was moderate. The control results of the stabilization system showed that sodium dodecyl sulfate can significantly reduce the viscosity and improve the MST of the ammonia-free CNRL. KOH can significantly improve the pH and thermal stability of latex, but has little effect on improving MST. The ammonia-free CNRL had a lower pH after prevulcanization, but higher MST than the HA latex. The viscosity of the ammonia-free prevulcanized latex increased rapidly. The physico-mechanical properties of the vulcanizate films were slightly different from those of the HA latex samples. In addition, the infrared spectrum of the ammonia-free CNRL dry film was basically consistent with that of HA latex dry film. The thermal degradation curve and characteristic temperature of the ammonia-free CNRL dry film were basically the same as those of the HA-preserved film. Biosafety tests showed that the cytotoxicity of the MBM-preserved, ammonia-free CNRL dry film was slightly higher than that of the HA latex film. However, both films did not irritate the skin. All of these results illustrate that MBM has an excellent preservation effect on CNRL and the prepared ammonia-free CNRL has good processability, environmental protection, and safety.
Nigerian National Question and State Sponsorship of Terrorism in Igbo
Authors: Okwelum C.O.
Published: March 2023

The Igbos in eastern Nigeria are stigmatised and marginalised. Since the last war, every effort has been made to shortchange them. Their desire to be welcomed back into the mainstream of the federal state system has always been rebuffed. The return to civil rule in 1999 even accentuated the marginalisation than bringing it to bail. They then took back to separatist agitation which is familiar terrain for the Igbo. But the Igbo still have found no respite. The Federal government of Buhari which the Igbo had never supported or voted for in the previous elections of 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2019 schemed to infiltrate the Igbo with the virus of herdsmen and terrorist incursions. The resistance of the Igbo still rattles and aggravated the Buhari state characterizing the Igbo as ‘a dot on a circle’. This Study which employs the doctrinal method looks critically into the motive behind insurgency and terrorism in the Igbo of the southeast. It finds that genuine security structures which Igbo have put in place to secure the southeast heartland are being undermined by both the Federal and the State governments. They are viewed within the suspicious spectrum of separatist agitation while those instituted and used by the State are destabilising Ndigbo, prevaricating and inducing more bloodshed in Igbo. It concludes that genuine efforts should be made by the Federal government to reconcile with the Igbo and come away from the pre-war disposition of the Nigerian state against the Igbo.
Ansaru and its Islamic Radicalization in the Lake Chad Basin
Authors: E.A. Ekanem , E.O. Nnaji , I.N. Kefas
Published: March 2023

This study aimed at exploring the dynamics of Ansaru’s movement as it affected Lake Chad Basin. The study adopted descriptive design that depended on the Judgmental Sampling technique. Secondary sources (books, journal articles, monographs, conference papers, including internet materials) of data collection were sourced form Nigerian libraries and internet. These documentary materials were subjected to content validation before analyzing the study in the qualitative form. Notwithstanding the fact that frustration-aggression theory has deepened the understanding of the Islamic radicalization in the Lake Chad Basin, Ansaru’s insurgency continues unabated. Findings revealed that economic factors, religious ideology and weak institutions triggered the motivation for Ansaru’s Islamic radicalization in the Lake Chad Basin. The religious movement has led to insecurity, human rights abuses, humanitarian and economic crisis. Member states of Lake Chad Basin had adopted hard and soft approaches, while the United States, France, United Kingdom, China and Israel had rendered assistance towards mitigating the extremism though with little success. The study recommends good governance, strong institutions, ideological re-orientation and international cooperation as panacea for the Ansaru’s Islamic radicalization in the Lake Chad Basin.
Power Resources in Health District Governance in Burkina Faso
Authors: Sombié Issa
Published: March 2023

Introduction; The pluralistic nature of the governance of the health system with the multiplicity of actors disrupts power relations. Since the adoption of the Bamako Initiative in 1987 in Burkina Faso, we have noted the presence of community representatives in the decision-making space of health districts. They participate alongside government representatives in the decision-making process. This article aims to analyze the influence of the different actors involved in the governance of a health district in Burkina Faso. A total of 32 people were included in the study. These people were divided into three main groups: members of the district team (n=9), managers of the government's decentralized technical services (n=8) and community representatives (n=15). The data were collected through individual interviews. The content analysis method was used. NVIVO software was used for data processing. The results indicate that community representatives have little influence in the decision-making process at the health district level. Indeed, all the resources that allow actors to influence exchanges are beyond their reach. Language skills, expertise, and economic capital are the main resources that are mobilized in this space. They are easily mobilized in interactions by both health district officials and community representatives. As a result, the views of the communities are poorly taken into account in the governance of health districts in Burkina Faso. The article notes that mastery of the language of communication, economic situation, and expertise on health issues give more scope for action to health district officials than to communities.

Imparting an implant restoration for esthetic outcomes in the anterior zone has been widely used. During the process of implant restoration, different tooth and patient-associated factors should be taken into account. This review aimed to provide a brief summary of all the esthetic considerations significant for the restoration of a dental implant.
Exploring the motivations, satisfactions, and well-being of agricultural intentional community residents
Authors: Lasoff-Santos Jess , De Young Raymond
Published: March 2023

Intentional communities have long provided an alternative living solution for those wanting to live with a group of others who share their values. Intentional community residents throughout the U.S. were surveyed to discover their intrinsic satis­factions and motivations, and community features they envision in their futures, as well as to investi­gate their psychological well-being and if they experience or search for personal meaning. Of the 204 U.S. communities identified with a gardening or agricultural focus, 83 agreed to be surveyed, gar­nering 259 responses. It was found that engage­ment in local food systems elicits intrinsic satisfac­tion in the areas of community food (such as growing and sharing food with neighbors) and participation (such as contributing to a larger goal or purpose). However, local food system engagement does not strongly increase psychological well-being, suggest­ing that those living in agricultural communities may have their well-being supported in other life­style areas. Recommendations for communication and recruitment are then addressed: it is important to emphasize communitarian and social values when advertising intentional communities to inter­ested parties. Secondary values, such as environ­mentalism, and the intrinsic satisfaction associated with participation can also be successfully used in communication, especially when paired with future-oriented envisioning of their communities.

A refrigerated automatic dispensing cabinet combines the concepts of a vending machine and automatic dispensing cabinets to accurately measure and automatically dispense medicine after pharmacists scan a prescription barcode. The system can also automatically track and renew inventory and send notifications when a refill is needed. These functions drastically decrease the rate of dispensing errors and improve inventory management. However, the results of the survey used in this study indicated low satisfaction with the refrigerated automatic dispensing cabinet. Thus, the application and design of the refrigerated automatic dispensing cabinet still have room for improvement.

The novel refrigerated automatic dispensing cabinet can be used in outpatient, pediatric vaccination, and emergency department pharmacies to track the batch number of medicines such as vaccines and biologic agents

Purpose: This paper examines the quality of the Side Kick in Taekwondo and investigates the correlation between the key characteristics of the Side Kick and the professional coach’s rating, as well as the ranking of their importance. Providing coaches and players with an objective basis from our analysis will help to raise the level of Poomsae competition in foot techniques. Method: In this study, a total of 10 athletes from Taipei Longshan National High School and National Taiwan Normal University participated as the subjects. Using the videos of the athletes’ side kicks, we analyzed the importance of the judges’ ratings during the side kick stance and provided a reference for coaches and athletes in training or competition. Finally, the results were collected and systematically analyzed. Results: Seven key features of the Side Kick were analyzed, in descending order of importance, as follows: the angle between the bent knee and the torso, the average speed from the recovery process, the time between the highest point of the kick and the start of the leg retraction, the duration of the highest point of the kick, the acceleration between the completion of the knee clinch and the highest point of the kick, the angle between the heel and tiptoe of the supporting foot, and the angle between the torso and the supporting foot during the recovery process. Conclusion: 1. Research has shown that Taekwondo instructors mainly judge the quality of a Side Kick by the angle between the knee and the torso, which shows a high correlation with movement scores. 2. Among the seven key characteristics of the Side Kick, it shows that the following four characteristics will result in a higher score of the performance for the Side Kick: (1) the longer time between the highest point of the kick and the start of the recovery; (2) the smaller the angle between the torso and the supporting foot; (3) the faster the average speed of the recovery; and (4) the smaller the angle between the torso and the knee during the recovery.

Authors: Baehaki Farhan , Nurhamidah Yeni , Purwaeni Purwaeni
Published: March 2023

Coffee is a popular and much-loved drink in Indonesian society to relieve drowsiness or increase stamina when working. This is because in coffee, there is an active compound, namely caffeine. Although it has benefits, in fact, caffeine will have a negative impact on the body if consumed in excess. The Indonesian National Standard 01-3542-2004 has determined that the limit value of caffeine content in food and beverages is 0.45–2% w/w. This study aimed to determine the caffeine content of packaged coffee sold in the community using a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. The results of the analysis showed that 16 of the 20 samples analyzed had caffeine levels in accordance with the provisions of the Indonesian National Standard, while the other 4 samples had caffeine levels above the specified value. Even sample Q has a caffeine content of 7.12% w/w, far above the threshold value. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that there are still packaged coffees containing caffeine above the specified threshold value. So, consumers should pay attention to the amount of caffeine consumed so as not to cause a negative impact on their health.

Human personality plays a vital role in individual's life as well as in the development of an organization. Common ways to evaluating human personality is by using standard questionnaires or by analyzing the Curriculum Vitae (CV). Traditionally, recruiters manually shortlist/filters a candidate’s CV as per their requirements. In this work, a system that automates the eligibility check and aptitude evaluation of candidates in a recruitment process is developed. To meet this need an automated system module is developed for the analysis of aptitude or personality test based on candidate’s CV. The work presented in this paper determines the personality trait of applicants through CV analysis using Python upon which the Personality prediction Model is built. The result helps in evaluating the qualities in the candidates by analyzing personality trait and character of such candidate. The system provides serves as a better option  for the recruitment process so that candidate’s data can extracted from CV and shortlisted  for the best decision via fair judgment.

Authors: Robertson Olly , Recido Joshua Luther , Clarke Lara
Published: March 2023

Photovoice is a qualitative research method where participants are empowered to curate and expand upon their everyday lives through photography. When used as a learning activity embedded within psychological curricula, Photovoice is an empowering tool which promotes student engagement and attainment. The present report reflects upon the use of Photovoice in small group teaching from both the student and educator’s perspectives. It presents the rationale and methods for using Photovoice within undergraduate small group teaching, and the use is evaluated and discussed. Photovoice reduces or removes hierarchical and normative power structures in the learning environment, centres student voices, and grounds abstract psychological concepts. Photovoice can be used to complement and extend other teaching practice to promote equitable outcomes and educational attainment for all students.
Reflections on undertaking a qualitative group undergraduate dissertation project
Authors: Mikesova Denisa , Kastrati Klarisa
Published: March 2023

During the final year of studying for a psychology undergraduate degree at Middlesex University, students select whether they would like to undertake either a group project or an independent research-based dissertation. We both decided to carry out our dissertations as a qualitative group project composed of six students. We describe our experiences of the process, with a focus on both the benefits and disadvantages of the involvement of us as team members. The main advantages we have highlighted were the fact that we greatly saved time through delegation of responsibility and that there was a way to interact with others who were interested in the subject, which is not possible when working on individual projects. The key weakness was the lack of communication by other team members, which caused stress levels and feelings of aloneness. However, we both remain strongly glad we chose to execute our dissertations through a qualitative group project, displayed through the benefits exceeding the drawbacks.

Pneumoperitoneum – Can It Be Diagnosed by Ultrasound?
Authors: Vasin, MD Dragan
Published: March 2023

Hollow organ perforation is a life-threatening condition and early diagnosis of perforation is important in improving the prognosis of these patients. The physical phenomenon that then occurs in the abdominopelvic cavum is the presence of extraluminal gas. The basic methods of detecting free gas in the peritoneal cavity are radiological: plain abdominal radiography, ultrasound and computed tomography. In the radiological literature, there is still no clear consensus which technique is optimal for the detection of pneumoperitoneum – plain abdominal radiography, ultrasound or computed tomography. CT is the gold standard for diagnosis but is often preceded by long wait times and unnecessary radiation exposure. Abdominal ultrasound can also be used as an adjunct in decision-making for justifying the risks of transporting a critically ill patient for further imaging. Based on the data presented, it can be assumed that ultrasonography should be treated as the basic method in diagnosing pneumoperitoneum. CT is the gold standard for the diagnosis of pneumoperitoneum, which can also help detect the cause of pneumoperitoneum.
Seeing coffee tourism through the lens of coffee consumption: A critical review
Authors: Setiyorini Heri , Chen Tingzhen , Pryce Josephine
Published: March 2023

One of the world’s most popular beverages, coffee is used to satisfy a wide range of consumptions, including tourism. In this article, we examined the existing concepts of coffee consumption and identified additional consumption domains that may contribute to the growing body of knowledge regarding coffee tourism. The paper used a scoping review approach and Critical Media Discourse Analysis (CMDA). The scoping review examined 152 articles on coffee consumption and coffee tourism published up to 2020. Subsequently, CMDA enabled a more in- depth textual and contextual analysis of the literature. In addition, Leximancer was used to illuminate the prominent scopes of the literature. Three prominent scopes of the literature are identified in the textual analysis: consumer behaviour, place consumption, and ethical consumption. In addition, the contextual findings indicate that coffee tourism studies have increased in recent decades. Furthermore, the social context highlights the dynamic nature of the coffee market landscape in the global North and the global South. Future research directions were suggested, and the managerial implications of these findings were discussed.

Una nuova pagina inedita dell’omelia crisostomica Quod frequenter conveniendum sit: testo critico, traduzione italiana e note di commento
Authors: Vanoni Francesco
Published: March 2023

Il presente contributo vuole prendere in esame l’omelia Quod frequenter conveniendum sit (CPG 4441.03) del vescovo di Costantinopoli Giovanni Crisostomo (ca. 350-407). In particolare, scopo del lavoro è quello di pubblicare per la prima volta il testo, criticamente edito, di una porzione dell’omelia mancante nel codice Ott. gr. 431 – utilizzato da Bernard de Montfaucon per la prima edizione delle Undecim novae homiliae che esso trasmette – a causa della caduta del f. 171. Grazie alla scoperta del codice Stavronikita 6, avvenuta a metà degli anni ’50 del XX secolo, è ora possibile colmare la mutilazione del codice ottoboniano, dal momento che il manoscritto atonita trasmette la medesima serie di omelie, offrendo però il testo integrale laddove quello del ms. vaticano è lacunoso. Tale lavoro si compone dunque, oltre che del testo critico del passo finora ignoto, anche della relativa traduzione italiana e di alcune brevi note di commento.
Per le fonti del De Aucupio di Pietro degli Angeli da Barga
Authors: Murace Andrea
Published: March 2023

Questo articolo è dedicato al De Aucupio di Pietro degli Angeli da Barga, altrimenti conosciuto come ‘il Bargeo’ (1517-1596), e alla trama di corrispondenze tematiche che questo poema intreccia con la parafrasi degli Ixeutica di Dionisio (III-V sec.), presumibilmente nota al poeta tramite la mediazione di Conrad Gessner. Dopo un’introduzione sui protagonisti della questione, ci si concentrerà su un caso esemplare, corredato di apparato critico, tratto dal De Aucupio, e sulle possibili fonti impiegate dal Bargeo.
«Copiati esattissimamente in misura rigorosa»: note sulle prime incisioni dei dittici eburnei del Tesoro del Duomo di Monza. Anton Francesco Gori, Anton Francesco Frisi e i fratelli Trivulzio nella seconda metà del Settecento
Authors: Erba Marco Emilio
Published: March 2023

Nel Tesoro del Duomo di Monza si conservano tre celebri dittici eburnei relativi alla dotazione di suppellettili liturgiche di Berengario del Friuli (inizi X secolo): il dittico di Stilicone e quello del Poeta e della Musa, entrambi tardo antichi; il dittico di re Davide e san Gregorio Magno, di datazione e lettura più controverse (VI secolo ed età carolingia). Primo editore dei pezzi è Anton Francesco Gori nel secondo volume del Thesaurus veterum diptychorum consularium et ecclesiasticorum (1759), corredato di tre tavole di Andrea Scacciati. Pur non avendo mai visionato i manufatti, l’erudito fiorentino dedica ad essi un’ampia disamina critica basandosi essenzialmente sugli acquerelli del pittore Girolamo Ferroni, reclutato dal marchese milanese e prezioso intermediario Alessandro Teodoro Trivulzio. Nel 1794 il padre della storiografia monzese, il canonico Anton Francesco Frisi, risolve di rieditare i dittici in apertura del terzo tomo delle sue Memorie storiche di Monza e sua corte. Consigliato da quel don Carlo Trivulzio erudito e proprietario di un ricco nucleo di avori antichi, supportato dalle modeste incisioni di Giulio Cesare Bianchi, offre una rilettura che puntualizza ed emenda in parte quanto scritto dal Gori, condita da una vena polemica contro «chi non ha esaminati personalmente i Monumenti, sui quali ragiona». Sullo sfondo del contesto culturale dell’epoca e delle personalità che vi presero parte, con l’ausilio della documentazione divisa tra la Veneranda Biblioteca Ambrosiana di Milano, l’Archivio della Fondazione Trivulzio e la Biblioteca Marucelliana di Firenze, il contributo intende proporre una ricostruzione degli avvenimenti con attenzione al rapporto tra originale (i dittici monzesi) e copia (disegni e incisioni che ne scaturirono).
A Comparison Electronic Specifications of the MS & MPS type Schottky Diodes (SDs) via Utilizing Voltage-Current (V-I) Characteristics

Published: March 2023

The effects of the application of the (TeO2:Cu-PVP) interface to the Al/p-Si (MS) type SD on the performance of the new Al/(TeO2:Cu doped PVP)/p-Si (MPS) SD were reviewed using forward and reverse bias V-I measurements. The thermionic emission (TE) and Cheung & Cheung functions were employed to ascertain the influences of an additional organic interfacial layer on the comparative outcomes of this research. Thus, some essential electrical attributes such as saturation current (Is), ideality factor (n), rectification-ratio (R.R.=Iforward/Ireverse), barrier height B.H. (Φbo), and series/shunt resistances (Rs/Rsh) were computed. Furthermore, the density of surface states (Nss) was acquired from the V-I plots according to the Card & Rhoderick method. The observed experimental results indicated that the (TeO2:Cu-PVP) inter-layer enhanced the quality of MS type SD as respects obtained low reverse current, Nss, Rs, and high Rsh and R.R. values. All these results indicate that (TeO2:Cu-PVP) inter-layer can be used successfully instead of conventional insulators for its favored specifications like easy fabrication processes, low cost, and flexibility features.

Authors: Cai Zedong , Shi Yike , Wang Linjie
Published: March 2023

Based on the perspectives of both China (home country) and host countries (economies), a financial deepening indicator system and an economic growth indicator system are constructed, the mutual influence mechanism between financial deepening (FD), outward foreign direct investment flows (OFDI) and economic growth (EG) are studied. Firstly, from the perspective of China, based on Error Correction Model (ECM) and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), the conclusions received are as follows. (i) China's financial deepening and OFDI have a long-run positive impact on China's economic growth. (ii) Further analysis also confirms that reforms related to financial deepening have positive policy effects on promoting OFDI in China. Secondly, from the perspective of the interaction between China and host countries (economies), based on Time-varying Spatial Durbin Model (TVSDM), the conclusions received are as follows. (i) In general, China's OFDI to host countries plays a positive intermediary role in the process of financial deepening for economic development in host countries. (ii) Three aspects (FD, OFDI, EG) have different degrees of spatial autocorrelation and spatial spillover effects on each other, which are positive in general. (iii) Further analysis also found heterogeneity in the above conclusions for high-income and low-income host countries individually. In a word, a comprehensive analysis framework of three aspects (financial deepening, OFDI and economic growth) is finally constructed, which has important implications for overseas investments and financial support to the real economy.

Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar três métodos de estimação do tamanho ótimo de parcela para avaliar a produtividade de matéria fresca de aveia branca (Avena sativa L.), cultivar IPR Suprema. Foram conduzidos seis ensaios de uniformidade (experimentos em branco), sendo três na primeira data de semeadura (03 de maio de 2021) e três na segunda data de semeadura (26 de maio de 2021). Foi avaliada a produtividade de matéria fresca em 216 unidades experimentais básicas (UEB) de 1 m × 1 m (36 UEB por ensaio). A UEB foi formada por cinco fileiras de 1,0 m de comprimento, espaçadas 0,20 m entre fileiras, totalizando 1,0 m2. Foi determinado o tamanho ótimo de parcela por meio dos métodos da curvatura máxima modificado, do modelo linear de resposta com platô e do modelo quadrático de resposta com platô. O tamanho ótimo de parcela difere entre os métodos e decresce na seguinte ordem: modelo quadrático de resposta com platô (11,09 m2), modelo linear de resposta com platô (7,65 m2) e curvatura máxima modificado (4,00 m2). O tamanho ótimo de parcela para avaliar a produtividade de matéria fresca de aveia branca é 7,65 m2 e a precisão experimental estabiliza a partir desse tamanho.

Published: March 2023

Changing patterns of climate factors have become a point of discussion in recent times worldwide. Several aspects of an individual’s prosperity, like communal, financial, and ecological increment, were impacted directly or circuitously by climate change. Moreover, the Bangladeshi people’s life is extremely affected by heavy rainfall because of its geographical structure, especially in the South-West region. Hence, this paper has experimented with the monthly average monsoon data of average temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, mean sea-level pressure, cloud cover, and rainfall from 1981-2018 and predicted the precipitation of 9 meteorological stations from 2019-2028 of the South-West part of Bangladesh. The monthly average monsoon rainfall strongly correlated with relative humidity, mean sea-level pressure, and cloud cover among all the mentioned weather variables. An artificial neural network (ANN) model was formulated with a gradient descent algorithm to predict the rainfall. R2 value was also measured to see the accuracy of the model. Thereafter, the nine stations of the given region have the following order of average monsoon rainfall:Khepupara(15.22mm)>Potuakhali(14.01mm)>Bhola(11.36mm)>Barishal(10.68mm)>Mongla(10.25mm)>Khulna(9.33mm)>Satkhira(9.00mm)>Faridpur(8.67mm)>Jashore(8.64mm). The predicted and real rainfall patterns showed the same escalating or plummeting trends for each station, which justified the ANN model for predicting the monthly average monsoon rainfall of the South-West region in Bangladesh. Such a rainfall prediction can assist people of this region to be more equipped for adverse heavy rain, saving lives and decreasing infrastructure loss during the monsoon season.
Multinational corporations and domestic company’s development: Evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Raluchukwu Andrew Isienyi
Published: March 2023

This research study looks at assessing, and reviewing how multinational corporations spurred up economic development, particularly in Nigeria to an extent. Multinational Corporations (MNCs) involves having operations in more than one Nation with its head office at their home country. They are subject to changes in international exchange rates, tariffs, duties, and restrictions on trade. Majority of the successful ones’ targets production points where labour is cheaper, with affordable transportation so as to deliver to their markets. The research used scholarly journals, articles, and textbooks to review the activities of MNCs in Nigeria’s economic development, as it relates to growth, technology transfers and policy issues. Based on the literature, the research discovered that multinational corporations have contributed to the Nigeria’s economic development, which varies. Meanwhile, the technology internalization as well as transfers is still a mirage. Although, some MNCs still engage in unethical business practices that soils their name, and their image of Nigeria. This research study recommends other things including that representatives of all stakeholders-employees, customers, society, government should be appointed as members of the Board of Directors of various corporations, to ensure direct representation, and as well as participation in the decision-making process. More so, polycentric model of staff selection should be imposed by government on these MNCs which will be stated under the terms of agreement with all the multinational corporations operating within Nigeria. This will improve skill acquisition as well as adequate transfer of technology.

Authors: Poleto Filho Olavo , Francisco Eduardo de Rezende
Published: March 2023

O controle de medicamentos em hospitais é crítico para garantir a sua disponibilidade, gerenciar custos, aumentar a precisão e segurança dos pacientes. Pesquisas relacionam o controle de medicamentos à redução de perdas, menor risco de obsolescência e melhor gestão de custos, permitindo identificar medicamentos adulterados, maior precisão na dosagem prescrita, melhorar o gerenciamento de estoques, padronizar e automatizar processos manuais, reduzir erros e aumentar a produtividade. A literatura trata o controle de medicamentos com o uso de tecnologias como códigos de barras e RFID para rastreá-los em qualquer ponto da cadeia de suprimentos, que se tornam mais precisos quando conectados aos sensores sem fio e ao GPS através da Internet das Coisas (IoT). Este artigo visa estudar o uso da IoT no controle de medicamentos, sob a perspectiva dos benefícios entregues às farmácias e suas influências no desempenho organizacional. Foram entrevistados profissionais de três hospitais privados localizados em São Paulo. Como o tema IoT é recente, principalmente no segmento hospitalar, benefícios e impactos reais no desempenho organizacionais podem ser alcançados em aplicações especificas e desde que a IoT faça parte de um ecossistema composto por Inteligência Artificial, Cloud e Analytics, integrando todos os atores da cadeia de medicamentos hospitalares.
