Novos feminismos revisitados de Luiza Bairros
Authors: Sobral Freire Rasbeca 
Published: July 2023

Este artigo apresenta, brevemente, a biografia de Luiza Bairros. Abordar suas militância, produção intelectual e participação política na esfera institucional no Brasil é uma oportunidade de revisitar os nossos feminismos à luz das críticas que ela fazia à desigualdade social e ao racismo. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica de caráter qualitativo, embasada nos estudos decoloniais e feministas intersecionais, sendo o biografismo a escolha metodológica. Conhecer contribuições de intelectuais negras brasileiras, a exemplo de Luiza Bairros, é tarefa imprescindível para a retomada de um projeto que vislumbre a construção de uma sociedade livre do racismo, da violência patriarcal e da exploração capitalista de classe. O artigo é também uma femenagem a esta grande pensadora, militante e ministra inesquecível que nos deixou em 2016.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Currently, despite decades of trial and error, peripheral nerve injury is an impenetrable clinical dilemma. Any proven effective pharmacologic agent leads to a decisive leap forward to the clinical management of neuropathies. This study investigated the effects of tacrolimus and erythropoietin on sciatic nerve regeneration. Twenty-three mice were randomly assigned to tacrolimus, erythropoietin, tacrolimus + erythropoietin, control, and sham groups following sciatic nerve crush via hemostatic forceps. Medications were administered for 28 consecutive days. The sham group received neither crush injury nor medication. Histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and walking track analyses were performed. In the erythropoietin group, axonal swelling was significantly reduced and the average axonal number significantly recovered up to 75% of normal nerve compared to other groups. Marked immunoreactivity to GFAP and S-100 protein was present in the tacrolimus group. Nevertheless, at least moderate GFAP and S-100 expressions were observed in all of the groups. Functional recovery was superior in the tacrolimus group after 14 days, although a complete return to near-normal function was achieved in all groups after 28 days, regardless of the medication used. Our data supported the neurotrophic effects of tacrolimus and erythropoietin; however, not enough data was gathered to confirm their synergistic effects. Whether these results are extensible to clinical scenarios requires further detailed investigations.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Even though nephrology has made much progress, reducing the progression of the chronic kidney disease remains, in fact, one of the biggest challenges. Long before the renal replacement therapy (RRT), it was known that limiting the protein could help almost all uremia symptoms. Although it was proposed as early as the 1960s, it only became widely used in the 1980s. By lowering the urea and other nitrogen wastes and lowering the metabolic acidosis, oxidative stress, and insulin resistance, limiting the amount of protein in your diet can help improve uremic symptoms. Also, limiting the protein in the diet positively controls the cardiovascular complications, including the arterial blood pressure and proteinuria reduction, which are risk factors for CKD progression. This mini-review examines the impact of protein restriction on the possibility of slowing CKD progression in depth.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Variation of female and male strobilus production among clones over 4 consecutive years was estimated, and genetic variance, heritability, and genetic correlation in strobilus production were investigated in the second-generation seed orchard of Pinus thunbergii. This seed orchard was created with grafts selected according to the volume growth of their offspring. The production of female strobili continued to increase, whereas the production of male strobili fluctuated throughout the investigated period. The number of female strobili was highest in rich cone years, but the production of male strobili was not the same in rich or poor years. The maleness index showed a balance between female and male parents that occurred when male strobilus production was in rich or poor years. The parental balance curve for female strobilus production was closer to the expectation (i.e., more equal contribution) than that for male strobilus production in all years. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among clones in female and male strobilus production over the four-year period. The narrow-sense heritability was higher in male strobilus production than female strobilus, implying that male strobilus production was under genetic control. The Pearson’s correlation was positive and mostly significant, indicating that female strobilus production was reflected in male strobilus production. The effective parent number was lowest in moderate and good years for cone production. The loss of gene diversity in seed crops was lower than expected based on clonal fertility variation.
Does Financial Inclusion Moderate CO2 Emissions in Sub-Saharan Africa? Evidence From Panel Data Analysis
Authors: Ogede Jimoh S. , Tiamiyu Hammed O. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The threat posed by climate change has become a reality in the public sphere. This research looks at how financial inclusion affects carbon dioxide emissions in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries from 2004 to 2017. The panel autoregressive distributed lag and panel granger causality approaches are used to determine if financial inclusion reduces CO2 emissions in Sub-Saharan African countries. The PARDL results demonstrated that, over time, financial inclusion, GDP per capita, industrialization, and trade openness have a substantial beneficial influence on carbon emissions in SSA countries. The result suggests that these considered variables contribute significantly to CO2 emissions while urbanization and energy intensity reduce CO2 emissions in SSA. Financial inclusion and other control variables have no significant impacts on carbon emission in SSA in the short run. The findings of the granger causality test further confirm the direction of causality, revealing that financial inclusion, GDP per capita, industrialization, energy intensity, and trade openness, granger cause carbon emission in SSA countries. Meanwhile, carbon emission does not granger cause any of the considered factors. The study concludes that financial inclusion increases carbon emission in SSA countries, given the poor state of financial inclusion. Our findings advocate for a policy framework that would focus efforts on connecting financial inclusion measures with environmental legislation across SSA nations.
The Turn-of-the-Month Effect: Evidence from Macedonian Stock Exchange
Authors: Deari Fitim , Ulu Yasemin 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
We examine turn of the month effect for the Macedonian Stock Exchange using daily return data utilizing OLS and pooled regression analysis for the 10 components of the MBI10 index. We find that for most of the individual stock returns the coefficients of the turn-of-the-month effect are all positive indicating the presence of the turn-of-the-month effect. When the data is pooled, we obtain even stronger results. The study confirms that the turn-of-the-month effect holds for Macedonian Stock Exchange which has not been examined before. Therefore, on average, the daily return over the turn-of-the-month effect period is significantly higher than the daily return over the rest-of-the-month period and hence providing room for more investment opportunities.

Abstract
Satellites are used for navigation, communication, oceanography, astronomy, etc.. Satellites come in a diversity of sizes and forms. Depending on the satellite’s mission, different subsystems are used. These subsystems are installed inside a housing to protect them from the space environment. This housing, which is also known as the satellite primary structure or mechanical structure, is made of durable materials that can endure severe conditions during launch and in the orbit. The optimisation of satellite mass is crucial right now since satellites are losing mass every day to reduce the cost of manufacturing and launching. This review first introduces an overview of the satellite classifications and subsystems. Then, the different types of mechanical load analysis the satellite subjects itself to are demonstrated. The advanced approaches for promoting the performance of the mechanical structures of satellites are explored, with a spotlight on the effect of the optimisation parameters of isogrid and honeycomb sandwich structures on the mechanical performance of the satellite primary structure. The assembly, integration and testing (AIT) of the small satellite are briefly presented. Finally, the important potential designs to improve the mechanical performance of the satellite primary structure and the challenges of further research are summarised.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
In the school organization, change is a plurivalent process due to the multiple influences it involves; the change will influence the way the school staff evolves, it will leave its mark on the evolution of the direct beneficiaries but also the indirect beneficiaries so that it will have an impact on the community as a whole. As an organization that wants to be permanently connected to the realities of the socio-economic context and able to offer quality education, the school must perceive change as a catalyst for its mission. The process of change engages all members of the school organization, so the way they understand the whole process (the need, the evolution, the desired results and the implications that exceed the organizational environment) is decisive for success, therefore for the evolution of the school and - in an extended plan - for the evolution the educational system. Starting from these premises, we conducted research to highlight the impact changes have on the quality of education. The research aimed to identify the perception of change of the actors in education and the changes necessary to obtain an education of a significantly increased quality.
Qualitative Analysis of Teleworking Research – an International Overview
Authors: Zhan Xiaoyu , Wang Fang , Popescu Delia-Mioara 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Because the year 2020 has brought upon the whole world unprecedented changes to the global economy and especially to the world of work, analyzing the subject of teleworking will bring more value to the field. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the general panorama of teleworking research worldwide by analyzing articles and papers published in trustful publishers such as the Web of Knowledge database and statistical data published by international agencies. We will identify the poles for teleworking research, such as countries, authors, and institutions and correlate them through descriptive statistics. We conclude that before the COVID-19 pandemic, teleworking could have been more well-analyzed because only a tiny fraction of the workforce was occasionally working from home. From March 2020, as the infections swept the globe, many countries instructed employers to close their operations, and therefore a new era began. The study uses a wide range of bibliometric indicators provided by WOS, which analyzes the main articles, authors, and institutions. Also, we used the VOS Viewer software to map the main trends in the research field.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
Our study aims to understand the current failure of crowdfunding in Algeria, we conducted a two-step study. First, we extracted from the literature the various factors that contribute to the success of this funding process and those that hinder it. We specified the influence of these factors in the Algerian context. In the second step, we surveyed a group of persons that follow a double-skill management degree in entrepreneurship and project management to know their opinion about crowdfunding. The results show that the surveyed were significantly unaware of crowdfunding, i.e., 64% of our sample with a p-value >0.05 (p = 0.151); as for their view of the current failure of crowdfunding, 51.5% feel that it is due to a lack of information. 29.7% think is due to a lack of trust. 8.9% think there are few investors; others put it down to a lack of ideas, i.e., 7.9% of those questioned, and 2% think it is for other reasons. 58% of the subjects see themselves as project holders, only 8.9% are ready to be funders, and 3.26% think they could be both. The results clearly show a statistical bias towards being more of a project holder than a funder (with a p-value of 0.48). On that account, Algeria could be a favorable ground for Crowdfunding if more people were more informed about this process and more funders were available.

The Capability of E-reviews in Online Shopping. Integration of the PLS- SEM and ANN Method
Authors: Quan Tri Dang , Thanh Luan Nguyen , Thuy Thanh Nguyen Thi 
Published: July 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of e-review on iGen's propensity to purchase online. Especially, it can be better understood by dissecting the relationship among 3 variables of e-review (review valence, quantity of e-review and quality of e-review), e-satisfaction, and intention to buy.

Theoretical framework: This study classifies e-reviews according to their valence, quantity, and quality based on the study of Khammash (2008).

Design/methodology/approach: The PLS-SEM method was used to analyze data collected from online surveys administered to a sample of 222 iGen in Ho Chi Minh City to assess the hypotheses behind the study. Additionally, the Artificial Neural Network technique was used to separate SEM predictors that were relatively important.

Findings: There are three results from the investigation: It has been found that (1) e-satisfaction is positively affected by valence, (2) e-satisfaction is generally increased with the high quality of e-review, but the quantity of e-review does not necessarily affect customers' e-satisfaction, and (3) e-satisfaction given in the context of an e-commerce platform has a strong effect on customers' online shopping intention. This study sheds new light on iGen's online buying habits and offers valuable management implications for iGen, online merchants, and e-commerce sites.

Research, Practical & Social implications: E-reviews have become a significant factor in determining consumers' online purchase decisions. They also assist iGen in understanding how a qualified e-review—one that is clear, understandable, helpful, and has enough justification to support the opinions—will be advantageous for other consumers who wish to shop online.

Originality/value: Provides the theory of e-review and its role in the online business environment. In addition, understand more about the behavior of igen, an age with a huge amount of spending on an online shopping platform.

Authors: A. Al-Hemiri Adil , D. Selman Mohammed 
Published: July 2023

This research adopts the estimation of mass transfer coefficient in batch packed bed distillation column as function of physical properties, liquid to vapour molar rates ratio (L / V), relative volatility (α), ratio of vapour and liquid diffusivities (DV / DL), ratio of vapour and liquid densities (ρV / ρL), ratio of vapour and liquid viscosities (μV/ μL).The experiments are done using binary systems, (Ethanol Water), (Methanol Water), (Methanol Ethanol), (Benzene Hexane), (Benzene Toluene). Statistical program (multiple regression analysis) is used for estimating the overall mass transfer coefficient of vapour and liquid phases (KOV and KOL) in a correlation which represented the data fairly well.
KOV = 3.3 * 10-10 α-0.7 (DV / DL) 0.65 (L / V) 3.5 (ρV / ρL) 1.25 (μV / μL) -5.0
KOL = 2.8 * 10-6 α-0.95 (DV / DL) 0.03 (L / V) 1.15 (ρV / ρL )0.077 (μV / μL) -0.9
In this research a method where the resistances to mass transfer in both phases are accounted for separately through the use of HTU-NTU model for each phase
Z=HTUOV.NTUOV and Z=HTUOL.NTUOL
Results show that both overall vapour and liquid mass transfer coefficient are increased with liquid to vapour molar rates ratio, vapour to liquid diffusivities ratio and vapor to liquid densities ratio, but decreased with increasing the relative volatility and vapour to liquid viscosities ratio.
Racial differences in the care of pediatric sagittal craniosynostosis: a single-institution cohort study affecting state Medicaid policy
Authors: Akbari S. Hassan A. , Mooney James , Lepard Jacob , Arynchyna-Smith Anastasia , McClugage Samuel , Myers Rene , Grant John , Rozzelle Curtis , Johnston James M. 
Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVE
Although research has shown the cost-effectiveness of endoscopic versus open repair of sagittal synostosis, few studies have shown how race, insurance status, and area deprivation impact care for these patients. The authors analyzed data from children evaluated for sagittal synostosis at a single institution to assess how socioeconomic factors, race, and insurance status affect the surgical treatment of this population. They hypothesized that race and indicators of disadvantage negatively impact workup and surgical timing for craniosynostosis surgery.

METHODS
Medical records of patients treated for sagittal synostosis between 2010 and 2019 were reviewed. Area deprivation index (ADI) and rural-urban commuting area codes, as well as median income by zip code, were used to measure neighborhood disadvantage. Black and White patients were compared as well as patients using Medicaid versus private insurance.

RESULTS
Fifty patients were prospectively included in the study. Thirty-one underwent open repair; 19 had endoscopic repair. All 8 (100%) Black patients had open repair, compared to 54.8% of White patients (p = 0.018). Black patients were more likely to use Medicaid compared to White patients (75.0% vs 28.6%, p = 0.019). White patients were younger at surgery (5.5 vs 10.0 months, p = 0.001), and Black patients had longer surgeries (147.5 minutes vs 110.0 minutes, p = 0.021). The median household income by zip code was similar for the two groups. Black patients were generally from areas of greater disadvantage compared to White patients, based on both state and national ADI scores (state: 7.5 vs 4.0, p = 0.013; national: 83.5 vs 60.0, p = 0.013). All (94.7%) but 1 patient undergoing endoscopic repair used private insurance compared to 14 (45.2%) patients in the open repair group (p = 0.001). Patients using Medicaid were from areas of greater disadvantage compared to those using private insurance by both state and national ADI scores (state: 6.0 vs 3.0, p = 0.001; national: 75.0 vs 52.0, p = 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS
Because Medicaid in the geographic region of this study did not cover helmeting after endoscopic repair of sagittal synostosis, these patients usually had open repair, resulting in significant racial and socioeconomic disparities in treatment of sagittal synostosis. This research has led to a change in Alabama Medicaid policy to now cover the cost of postoperative helmeting.
