ASSOCIATION OF BORDA'S METHOD AND ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP) FOR THE ACQUISITION OF HELICOPTERS BY THE BRAZILIAN NAVY
Authors: Cruz Eduardo Picanço , Fontanillas Carlos Navarro , Possoli Karen , Rodriguez Y Rodriguez Martius Vicente 
Published: November 2020

Purpose – To suggest using a combination of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Borda Method for collective decision-making. By harmonizing cardinal scales from the results of the AHP and the Borda Method, the assessment of alternatives for new helicopters should maximize individual opinions when forming collective decisions.Design/methodology/approach – Qualitative and quantitative. Agents were interviewed who were involved in the process of acquiring Small Utility Helicopters for the Brazilian Navy. This included ten pilots and six military engineers from the Bureau of Aeronautics in the Brazilian Navy in Rio de Janeiro. Data were treated by combining cardinal scales from the AHP with the method proposed by Borda.Findings – By analyzing the MGPs taken from the AHP, it was found that judgment inconsistencies do not significantly affect the result. Both methods can promote helpful decision aids for the Brazilian Navy when deciding which aircraft to purchase to replace and improve the naval aviation fleet. Both methods can also be applied to similar situations in decision making between mutually exclusive alternatives.Originality/value – The use of hybrid decision aids (the result of combining methods) in a multicriteria analysis helps organizations make the best use of available resources, especially in complex decision scenarios. This study can help managers analyze limits more accurately for decisions to be accepted.Keywords - Collective decisions; Multicriteria; the Borda Method; Analytic Hierarchy Process.

Purpose – The objective of this study was the application of a mathematical model aiming to designate neighborhoods to install new Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU) bases to minimize the distance traveled by ambulances in the city of Natal / RN.Design/methodology/approach –The data were grouped in order to obtain parameters, such as: call district, time, day of the week, number of accidents. After data collection and processing, a matrix of neighborhood-to-neighborhood distances in the city of Natal based on Google Maps was created. A model was created to minimize the distance traveled by ambulances with the aid of the AIMMS program.Findings – The application of the model allowed for the simulation of scenarios with the installation of 3 to 8 fixed bases. There was a significant reduction in the distance traveled by the ambulances, which reached 48%, after the installation of eight bases. In other words, there was a reduction of 6,560 kilometers traveled per month by ambulances. Research, Practical & Social implications – The reduction in the total distance covered by the ambulances has practical and social implications, since it provides an increase in the number of ambulances available to serve the population and directly reflects in the reduction in the average response time of the service. Originality/value – The article contributes to the debate on efficiency in Brazilian medical emergency services by proposing engineering and management solutions for monitoring critical indicators such as response time.Keywords - Emergency medical service.

Diatoms are ubiquitous in all aquatic areas. Recently, these marine microorganisms gained attention because of their health benefits, especially when addressing the problem of antibiotic resistance. In this study, Actinoptychus octonarius Ehrenberg was identified by its ultrastructural details by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Additionally, the antibacterial properties of A. octonarius Ehrenberg were evaluated employing the method of disk diffusion against Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio vulnificus bacteria. Four A. octonarius Ehrenberg extracts were obtained by the sequential multi-solvent extraction process using hexane, dichloromethane, methanol, and water. The best antibacterial activity was observed for the methanol extract, which had a significant effect against S. aureus and V. vulnificus. Hexane extracts showed a limited antibacterial activity only against S. aureus and showing no significant effects against V. vulnificus. The area of inhibition of the extracts was higher to 1 cm2. The aqueous and dichloromethane extracts did not present antibacterial activity. In summary, this study revealed, for the first time, morphological characteristics of A.octonarius Ehrenberg diatom through a SEM methodology. Furthermore, it was observed that molecules present in the methanolic extracts of A. octonarius Ehrenberg have antibacterial action against Gram-positive S. aureus and Gram-negative V. vulnificus., while the hexane extract showed effect only against V. vulnificus.

Published: November 2020

Abstract: Kodingareng Lompo Island is an island which has a fairly dense population of approximately 4526 people and has a direct impact on the piles of waste that is generated every day, both in the form of organic and inorganic waste. The inhabitants of Kodingareng Lompo Island tend not to have the habit of handling waste by dumping it directly into the sea. The discarded waste causes bad odors and damages the marine ecosystem, so that waste handling with the 3R concept (reduce, reuse, recycle) is part of a sustainable business that is made into compost and organic waste can be recycled into other more useful items, especially in open green space. This research was carried out in a non-experimental nature with a qualitative descriptive method based on the design or design which will be produced using a spatial approach by mapping the location as outlined in the description of the image and the biopore point placement scheme. The result shows that 28 biopore holes were needed to handle the organic impacts generated by residents and arranged in a grid pattern so that the water absorption flow was more natural.Keywords: Organic trash, Green Open Space, Biopori TechnologyAbstrak: Pulau Kodingareng Lompo adalah pulau yang memiliki jumlah penduduk yang cukup padat sekitar 4526 jiwa dan berdampak langsung terhadap timbulan sampah yang dihasilkan tiap harinya, baik berupa sampah organik maupun sampah unorganik. Penduduk pulau Kodingareng Lompo ini cenderung tidak memiliki kebiasaan penanganan sampah yang dilakukan dengan membuang langsung ke laut. Sampah yang dibuang, menjadi penyebab bau tidak sedap dan merusak ekosistem laut, sehingga penangan sampah dengan konsep 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) sebagai bagian dari usaha berkelanjutan yang dijadikan kompos dan sampah organik dapat didaur ulang menjadi barang lain yang lebih bermanfaat utamanya di ruang terbuka hijau. Penelitian dilakukan bersifat non eksperimental dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif berdasarkan desain atau rancangan yang akan dihasilkan dengan metode pendekatan keruangan (spasial) dengan memetakan lokasi yang dituangkan dalam uraian gambar dan skema perletakan titik biopori. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa diperlukan 28 lubang biopori untuk menangani timbulan saampak organik yang dihasilkan penduduk dan disusun dengan pola grid agar aliran penyerapan air lebih bersifat alamiah.

Background: The prognostic value of mean platelet volume (MPV) and plasma fibrinogen level in terms of survival in patients with sepsis and septic shock is still incompletely documented. The aim of the present study was to find a correlation between MPV and plasma fibrinogen with the severity of sepsis and mortality.Methods: Three hundred eleven patients having quick sequential organ failure assessment score 2/3, systolic blood pressure ≤100 mmHg, respiratory rate ≥22/minute and altered mentation <15 (Glasgow coma scale) were included for this prospective observational study. Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II score, MPV on days one and four, fibrinogen on days one and seven were tested. The number of days of intensive care unit (ICU), and hospital stay, in-hospital mortality was recorded. Categorical and continuous variables were tested using the chi-square test/Fisher’s exact test and analysis of variance/Kruskal-Wallis H test respectively.Results: The mean plasma fibrinogen at day one and day seven was significantly higher in patients who had septic shock and in expired patients. The mean MPV at day four was significantly higher in patients who expired compared to those who survived. The mean MPV on day four was significantly higher compared to the mean MPV at day one in patients who expired.Conclusions: Fibrinogen level at admission is the predictor of mortality in patients with sepsis or septic shock. An increase in MPV was strongly correlated with mortality and can be used as a prognostic indicator.

Published: November 2020

Background: Epidural block is a popular and versatile procedure with applications as sole anaesthetic, as an analgesic adjuvant to general anaesthesia and for post-operative analgesia in procedures involving lower limbs, perineum, pelvis, abdomen and thorax. However, success of the epidural technique depends upon the correct identification of epidural space. The knowledge of distance from skin to epidural space can help in better identification of epidural space and epidural catheter placement with fewer incidences of complications. We conducted a study to find the distance from skin to the epidural space and its correlation with patient height and age to improve the success rate. Methods: Seventy-four patients scheduled to undergo lower lumbar surgeries where epidural block was required as anaesthetic or analgesic, were included in the study. These patients were randomly divided into four different groups of 37 patients each according to their age (group A and group B) and height (group C and group D). In these patient’s epidural block was given by standard technique according to the need of surgery and epidural depth measured. Obtained results were compared among group A, B and group C, D depending on their age and height respectively. Results: In group A (age 20-30 years), mean epidural depth was 3.96±0.4 cm while in group B (age 30-40 years) mean epidural depth was 4.05±0.5 centimeters. In group C (height 155-169 cm) mean epidural depth was 3.88±0.4 centimeters while it was 4.13±0.5 centimeters in group D (height 170-184 cm).Conclusions: There was increase in epidural depth with increase in height of patients but there was no correlation between age of patients and epidural depth.

Background: Behaviour of men, their beliefs and attitudes affect the maternal health outcomes of women and their babies. The exclusion of men from maternal health care services could lead to few women seeking maternal health services. A study was conducted for development of a Behaviour change communication (BCC) model for improving the male participation in utilization of maternal and child health services among Saharia tribes of Gwalior district of Madhya Pradesh and to assess its feasibility.Methods: Mixed method approach, both quantitative and qualitative, were used in the study. Couple interviews were conducted to assess the level of maternity care services utilization and level of male participation in maternity care. Focused Group Discussions (FGDs) and Key informants’ Interviews (KIIs) were conducted to assess the community perspective and barriers of male participation. In the exploratory phase, there were couple interviews, key informant interviews and focus group discussions and data analysis, followed by development of a Behavior Change Communication (BCC). Feasibility of the model was assessed through three principles, i.e., acceptance, integration with the current programme and short term impact of BCC.Results: Based on the findings of couple interviews, FGDs and KIIs, a BCC model was developed to improve the male involvement in maternal and child health and its feasibility was assessed.Conclusions: The developed BCC model went successfully through the three principles of the feasibility and therefore it can be implemented in Saharias for improving the male participation in maternity care and for improving the utilization of maternity care services.

IT’S ABOUT TIME: Trying an Essay Film
Authors: Bal Mieke 
Published: November 2020

This essay is about the essay, a form (as Adorno called it) of thought alive that is partial in the two senses of the word: subjective and fragmented. Thinking as social, performative, and always un-finished; as dialogic. Through the mythical figure of Cassandra, who could foresee the future but was cursed to be never believed, I tried to “figure,” make a figural shape for the thoughts on the indifference of people towards the imminent ecological disaster of the world. At the invitation of Jakub Mikurda of the Łódź Film School to come and make an essay film, within one week, but with the participation of many great professionals, I was able to create, at least in the first draft, the essay film IT’S ABOUT TIME!
The ambiguity of the title suggests the bringing together of my thoughts about time, in relation to history in its interrelation with the present, and, as the exclamation mark intimates, the urgency to do something. The former is enacted by a tableau vivant of Cassandra’s lover Aeneas as Caravaggio’s John the Baptist, with a contemporary painting by David Reed shifting over it; and by interactions with two paintings by Ina van Zyl. The urgency is presented in many of the dialogues, quoted from various sources, especially Christa Wolf’s novel Cassandra. I argue that “thinking in film,” with film as a medium for thought, is what the essay film’s foremost vocation is. Through a reflection on “thought-images,” which I see as the result of “image-thinking,” I also argue for the intellectual gain to be had from “essaying” thought artistically.
