Authors: Soekarno Siswoyo , Hernanto Setyawan Dwi , Purbasari Dian , Melani Dewi 
Published: June 2024

"Basil" or basil has economic value both in fresh form, simplicia and essential oil. This research aims to evaluate the method and duration of distillation in making essential oil from basil. Two distillation methods, namely steam and boil distillation, are carried out with different distillation times (1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours). The parameters observed were physical characteristics which included oil volume, yield, pH, distillation rate, color, aroma and spots. The results show that the best distillation process time is 2 h for both distillation methods. Steam distillation for 2 hours produced the best essential oil of 1.1 ml, yield 0.11%, pH 5.78, distillation rate of 0.53 ml/h, pale yellow color, strong aroma, clean spots. Meanwhile, water boiled distillation for 2 h produced 1.2 ml of essential oil, 0.12% yield, pH 6.31, distillation rate of 0.60 ml/h, brown color, weak aroma, very spotty. Distillation of basil leaf essential oil using the steam method for 2 h was determined as the best treatment based on the highest essential oil yield, smallest pH, highest distillation rate, clearest color, most distinctive aroma, and cleanest stain. Keywords: Aroma, Basil leaves, Essential oil, Steam distillation, Yield.
Environmental, social and governance e risco de insolvência: evidências no contexto brasileiro
Authors: Silva dos Santos Allisson , Pilar da Silva Junior Cláudio 
Published: June 2024

Objetivo: Analisar a influência do conjunto Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) no risco de insolvência das empresas de capital aberto no Brasil.
Originalidade/Valor: O estudo se justifica por desenvolver a literatura sobre a influência do ESG sobre o risco de insolvência no contexto emergente do mercado acionário brasileiro. Nesse país, observa-se um aumento no número de organizações que decretaram falência e tiveram seus pedidos de recuperação judicial deferidos e concedidos entre 2011 e 2019 (Serasa Experian, 2022). Em resposta aos frequentes escândalos financeiros que ocorrem mundialmente e à pressão de autoridades, Organizações Não Governamentais (ONGs) e partes interessadas, um número cada vez maior de empresas está buscando adotar práticas de responsabilidade social, sustentabilidade ambiental e governança adequada como parte de sua estratégia. Nesse sentido, identificar variáveis que possam ajudar a reduzir as dificuldades financeiras é de extrema importância para investidores e outras partes interessadas.
Métodos: Utilizou-se do método de regressão logística para evidenciar os resultados. A variável dependente foi mensurada por meio do Z-Score (Citterio & King, 2023). As variáveis explicativas foram ESG, Return On Assets (ROA), tamanho, alavancagem financeira e liquidez corrente. Os dados foram coletados na base Refinitiv Eikon, considerando o período de 2002-2022. Foram excluídas da amostra as empresas financeiras e as observações que não apresentaram todos os dados necessários.
Resultados: A variável ESG (agrupada ou não) se mostrou significativa, apresentando uma relação negativa com o risco de insolvência. Foi verificada que a adoção de cada uma das práticas mencionadas, ambiental (AMB), social (SOC) e governança (GOV), dentro da empresa, diminui as chances associadas ao risco de insolvência em torno de 1,01 a 1,03 vezes. A validade do modelo de regressão logística foi constatada por meio da Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC), no qual foi encontrado um valor em torno de 0,68 para a área sob a curva ROC.
Conclusões: O ESG (agrupado ou não) influencia no nível de solvência das empresas, contribuindo para um menor risco operacional e para um melhor desempenho financeiro. Os achados proporcionam a reflexão de que as empresas devem investir em suas estruturas ambientais, sociais e de governança, pois geram benefícios numa perspectiva de resultados de longo prazo. Para isso, as organizações precisam delinear suas estratégias, incorporando discussões sobre ESG em sua agenda, que sejam apropriadas e que corroborem com proposição de ações viáveis de operacionalização em seu setor de atuação.

Authors: Memar Montazerin Sahar , Hassanzadeh Shakiba , Najafi Homa , Shojaei Fahimehalsadat , Kumanayaka Dilesha , Suleiman Addi 
Published: June 2024

Background
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a multifactorial process that involves predisposing factors and precipitating stressors. Genetic abnormality has been implicated to play a mechanistic role in the development of SCAD. This systematic review aims to summarize the current evidence concerning the link between SCAD and genetic abnormalities.

Methods
We reviewed original studies published until May 2023 that reported SCAD patients with a genetic mutation by searching PubMed, Embase Ovid, and Google Scholar. Registries, cohort studies, and case reports were included if a definitive SCAD diagnosis was reported, and the genetic analysis was performed. Exclusion criteria included editorials, reviews, letters or commentaries, animal studies, meeting papers, and studies from which we were unable to extract data. Data were extracted from published reports.

Results
A total of 595 studies were screened and 55 studies were identified. Among 116 SCAD patients with genetic abnormalities, 20% had mutations in the COL gene, 13.70% TLN1 gene, and 8.42% TSR1 gene. Mutations affecting the genes encoding COL and TLN1 were most frequently reported (20 and 13.7%, respectively). Interestingly, 15 genes of this collection were also reported in patients with thoracic aortic diseases as well. The genetic commonality between fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and SCAD was also included.

Conclusion
In this review, the inherited conditions and reported genes of undetermined significance from case reports associated with SCAD are collected. A brief description of the encoded protein and the clinical features associated with pathologic genes is provided. Current data suggested that the diagnostic yield of genetic studies for patients with SCAD would be low and routine genetic screening of such patients with no clinical features indicative of associated disorders remains debatable. This review can be used as a guide for clinicians to recognize inherited syndromic and nonsyndromic disorders associated with SCAD.
Should basic life support–defibrillator training be compulsory for newly licensed Italian physicians? An observational study
Authors: Stirparo Giuseppe , Bellini Lorenzo , Solla Daniele , Stirparo Pierfrancesco , Fagoni Nazzareno , Gambolò Luca 
Published: June 2024

Introduction
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a relevant event with a fatal outcome in most cases. Basic life support–defibrillator (BLSD) training is central to rescuing a patient in arrest and ensuring that the patient has a better chance of returning to spontaneous circulation. Despite this, BLSD training is not mandatory for newly licensed physicians. Our study aims to evaluate the preparedness of newly qualified doctors to manage an OHCA and the impact of BLSD training.

Materials and methods
We tested 120 newly qualified doctors, members of the ‘Italian Society of Medicine and Scientific Divulgation’ network, evaluating their practical and theoretical knowledge in managing an OHCA before and after a BLSD training course conducted according to the American Heart Association guidelines.

Results
Fifty-nine physicians (49.2%) had an adequate background of the theoretical basis of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR); 37 (30.8%) were able to perform effective CPR on a mannequin, but only 19 (15.8%) were able to perform effective CPR with adequate depth and frequency of compressions. After the BLSD training course, 111 physicians (92.5%) were able to perform effective and quality CPR on a mannequin with feedback.

Conclusion
In Italy, BLSD training for physicians is not mandatory, and newly licensed physicians showed good knowledge of the theoretical basis of CPR, but few of them performed compressions of adequate depth and frequency. These results should guide future educational policy decisions in Italian academies.
Radiation-induced cross-linking polymerization: Recent developments for coating and composite applications
Authors: Coqueret Xavier 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Radiation-initiated cross-linking polymerization of multifunctional monomers is an attractive method used for drying solvent-free liquid coatings, inks, and adhesive as well as for fabricating high-performance composite materials. The method offers a number of advantages compared with thermal curing processes. Free radical and cationic polymerization have been investigated in detail over the past years. A high degree of control over curing kinetics and material properties can be exerted by adjusting the composition of matrix precursors and/or by acting on the process parameters (overall dose, dose rate, dose increment, initial temperature). Several pending issues that require deeper investigations are as follows: (i) the fast polymerization of multifunctional monomers generates micro-heterogeneous networks requiring detailed characterization and quantification by microscopic, thermal, and spectroscopic analyses; (ii) the adhesion and surface properties of radiation-cured coatings are quite sensitive to processing parameters; and (iii) significant enhancement of the toughness is needed to qualify potential matrices based on simple difunctional monomers for high-performance composites. Recent results show that the bulk and surface properties of radiation-cured materials can be improved by advanced formulation of matrix precursors and by a parametric study of the processing factors.
Radiation impact of ashes from the combustion of bottom sediments in a municipal sewage treatment plant, Czajka, located in Warsaw, Poland
Authors: Neffe Sławomir , Lemańska Joanna , Fliszkiewicz Bartłomiej , Jednorog Sławomir 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The aim of the present research was to assess the radiological importance of the fly ashes generated from the incineration of sludge from the “Czajka” sewage treatment plant located in Warsaw, Poland. The γ-spectrometry technique was employed for their radiometry. The high purity germanium (HPGe) detector was mathematically energy-efficiency calibrated. The ash samples were measured two times, i.e., after 24 days and after 3 months of storage. Storage was supposed to provide a radioactive equilibrium. Radionuclides from three natural decay series, i.e., uranium–radium, uranium–actinium, and thorium, were detected in the ash samples. Apart from these, 40K, 137Cs, and 7Be were also detected. The indicated levels of radionuclides do not produce radioactive hazards, regardless of the method used for further management.

Exploring symbolism in Hu Ru Gui by Malaysian Chinese writer Dai Xiaohua among Chinese tertiary students
Authors: Gopal Revathi , Hua Shi Shao 
Published: June 2024

This article explores English literature teaching, particularly the application of symbolism in a literary work called Hu Ru Gui among Chinese tertiary students majoring in English. Hu Ru Gui is a novel written by a Malaysian Chinese writer, Dai Xiaohua, which then became one of the literature teaching materials used at the tertiary level for Chinese students. This paper discusses the spiritual bloodline themes in the form of symbolism which runs through the whole literature work. The themes range from attitudes towards life and death, the national ridge of defending the motherland’s dignity, and the patriotic values internalized deeply from generation to generation beyond time, location, and culture. A qualitative method was employed in the current study. Purposive sampling was used to select five students to participate in the study. The students were at the advanced level of English language proficiency. An interview protocol was applied as an instrument to collect data from a semi-structured interview. The feedback from the tertiary students was analysed through thematic analysis in the forms of themes, sub-themes, and codes. The research results revealed that the traditional values and patriotic values in the form of symbolism in Hu Ru Gui, the novel rooted in culture are the seeds of the motherland. Wherever and whenever a person goes, the seeds will bloom and inherited. Future research can focus on exploring how the themes, motifs, and symbols within the text resonate with Chinese tertiary students in Malaysia.
Exploring the Role of Chatbots in the Recruitment Process in Latin America
Authors: Espinoza-Acero Hernán , Galarza-Minaya Tito , Vidal Elisabete 
Published: June 2024

Objective: This study aims to explore the implementation and expectations of using chatbots in the personnel recruitment process in Latin American companies, focusing on their application, challenges, and perceived benefits.

Theoretical Framework: Personnel recruitment and selection have evolved with the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically through the use of chatbots. The literature highlights AI's ability to automate repetitive tasks, improve the efficiency of the recruitment process, and reduce human biases. However, there is a lack of research in the Latin American context regarding the experience and skills necessary to successfully implement chatbots in recruitment.

Method: A multiple case study was conducted in seven Latin American companies from various sectors, using qualitative interviews with human resources professionals and managers. The case study methodology was applied to understand the implementation and expectations of using chatbots in the recruitment process. Transcriptions of the interviews were analyzed using a constructivist approach oriented towards grounded theory.

Results and Discussion: The research presents two relevant aspects, previous experience with chatbots and expectations for their use in the recruitment process. Chatbots are primarily used for customer service, replacing traditional methods such as email and phone calls. Best practices include programming aspects, information quality, feedback, and change management. Benefits include the automation of repetitive tasks, improvement in efficiency, and cost reduction, while challenges include proper programming, bias management, and cultural adaptation. Regarding the use of chatbots and the Recruitment Process, their potential benefit in shortening process times was perceived. Various activities were identified where they could be useful, especially in the initial stages of recruitment, although the need for a human component in the final stages to evaluate emotional and aptitude aspects was recognized. Chatbots are considered reliable as a complement in the early stages of the process, but challenges are posed in programming, bias management, and adaptation to recruitment needs.

Research Implications: The successful implementation of chatbots in the recruitment process could improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the company's image. However, careful consideration of identified challenges such as proper programming, bias management, and integration with the human component of recruitment is required.

Authors: Faria Juliana Aparecida Alves de , Andrade Ednilton Tavares de , Oliveira Filipe da Silva de 
Published: June 2024

Proposal: The aim of this study is to conduct a literature review on the occupational hazards of agricultural workers exposed to heat while carrying out their activities.

Theoretical Framework: Heat exposure poses a serious occupational risk for agricultural workers, increasing the incidence of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and sunstroke.

Method: The methodology adopted for this research involves a literature review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) methodology. Data collection was carried out through a bibliographic survey from the period 2005 to 2024 in the Pubmed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. The search used keywords such as "risks," "workers," "agriculture," and "heat."

Results and Discussion: The results revealed the selection of 109 articles, and after reading the abstracts, those that did not align with the research proposal were excluded. After filtering, 07 articles remained, whose topics showed affinity with the research. The literature points to a growing trend of studies addressing thermal discomfort as an occupational hazard, prevalent in open and semi-open environments. Specific studies for certain agricultural operations, such as groups of workers dealing with grain dryers and furnaces, are scarce and have limited conclusions.

Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practical aspects in the field of occupational heat exposure for agricultural workers. These implications can encompass various sectors of post-harvest grain processing.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by gathering information published in different databases on occupational heat exposure. The significance and value of this research are highlighted by a limited number of works in the literature, stressing the need for further research in the field. Based on this premise, more studies on agricultural work in heat-prone environments and consequent thermal discomfort should be encouraged to stimulate discussions on actions to eliminate the risks involved in these operations.

Published: June 2024

Objective: To discuss the applicability of percutaneous occlusion with a double-disk prosthesis to correct patent foramen ovale.

Methodology: Integrative review of the literature carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Google Scholar and PubMed databases, using the Health Sciences (DeCS) descriptors: “Prosthesis design”, “Patent foramen ovale” and “Cardiac catheterization ” combined with each other by the Boolean operator AND.

Results: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a congenital condition characterized by non-healing of the foramen ovale after birth, which can lead to complications such as paradoxical embolism and cerebrovascular accidents. Percutaneous occlusion rates with double-disc prostheses have accompanied this increase in PFO detection, while the technique, which involves inserting a double-disc device into the foramen ovale to close it, has proven effective in preventing embolic events in patients with a history of cryptogenic stroke or other PFO-related manifestations. The approach of percutaneous occlusion with a double-disk prosthesis for PFO correction is, therefore, a valuable tool in the therapeutic arsenal to reduce the risk of embolic events in high-risk patients.

Conclusion: Percutaneous occlusion with a double disc prosthesis is an effective approach to preventing embolic events in patients with patent foramen ovale. Its growth reflects technological advances and understanding of the risks of FOP.
