Published: March 2023

The object of research is technological processes for the complex development of lignite resources, including extraction, processing and the possibility of further use of derived products in the energy sector. The problem solved in the work is related to the underestimation of the complex use of lignite resources of Ukraine to provide fuel for the energy sector, which is suffering significant damage as a result of military operations.
In the course of research, the current state, prospects for the development and use of lignite as an energy resource at thermal power plants (TPP) were analyzed. Using the example of the Myronivka lignite deposit, new technological solutions for its complex development are proposed, which include the following stages:
– development of technological schemes for conducting mining operations with the possibility of selective extraction of minerals;
– identification of promising areas of lignite processing technologies with the involvement of carbonaceous clays;
– calculation of technical and economic indicators, social and economic efficiency of field exploitation.
It is proposed to determine the rational parameters of the overburden zones during the extraction of at least two minerals in the deposit with the use of internal dumping of overburden rocks in the produced space. In order to minimize the impact of field waterlogging, various options for draining the quarry field will be considered based on three-dimensional modeling.
Based on the methodology of expected operating costs, a preliminary economic assessment of the attractiveness of the proposed technological solutions was calculated for a conventional mining enterprise. Graphs of the dependence of mining costs and cost on the productivity of the cut and the overburden ratio were constructed, which made it possible to assert the feasibility of comprehensive development of lignite deposits of Ukraine. It has been established that the expansion of lignite raw materials due to accompanying minerals (coal clay) will lead to an increase in production by mass from 30 to 100 %, and in some cases even more.
Seismogenic Potential of the Subduction Zone in Northern Chile

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT
The northern Chile region of the Nazca subduction zone ruptured in an Mw∼8.5–9.0 earthquake in 1877, which induced a tsunami. The various magnitude estimates of this event are based on the evaluation of historical records, seismic intensities, and/or tide gauge information; however, its actual along-strike extent is debated. Based on geodetic data, the previous studies have suggested that this region has the potential for an Mw 8.2–8.8 event. We re-evaluate the seismic potential of the region, accounting for the buildup rate of moment deficit along the megathrust, the earthquake magnitude–frequency distribution, and the physics of earthquakes. We combine an improved probabilistic estimate of moment deficit rate with results from dynamic models of the earthquake cycle, testing, in particular, the influence of a potential aseismic barrier near the city of Iquique, which may influence the extent and magnitude of large events in this region. We find that Mw 8.8 is the most probable maximum magnitude earthquake in the region, and that the potential barrier likely has a limited impact considering uncertainties. We discuss the effect of the moment deficit rate on the fault, the b-value, and the importance of postseismic processes on our results.

Stanowisko zostało zlokalizowane na piaszczystym pagórku, na obszarze zalesionym. Przeprowadzone w latach 1997–1999 prace archeologiczne miały na celu zabezpieczenie niszczonego wybieraniem piasku obszaru stanowiska. Łącznie przebadano powierzchnię 4 arów, w obrębie których odsłonięto 16 obiektów, a także warstwę kulturową. Na podstawie analizy materiału zabytkowego wydzielono dwa horyzonty osadnicze związane z pradziejami. Z pierwszym (starszym) horyzontem osadniczym łączyć należy ślad osadnictwa z epoki kamienia. Drugi (młodszy) horyzont osadniczy odpowiada istnieniu na badanym terenie osady ludności kultury łużyckiej z okresu halsztackiego D. Z tym etapem osadniczym łączyć należy przeważającą część materiału zabytkowego, pozyskanego w toku prac wykopaliskowych.
Obecność na stanowisku warstwy kulturowej oraz obiektów mieszkalnych, zagłębionych w podłoże, wskazywałaby na dłuższą, zapewne stabilną egzystencję na tym terenie społeczności kultury łużyckiej. Stopień zniszczenia stanowiska, jak również niewielki zasięg badań wykopaliskowych utrudnia odpowiedź na pytanie o rzeczywistą skalę tego osadnictwa. Nie sposób w świetle wyników tych badań stwierdzić, jakie czynniki decydowały o charakterystycznym rozmieszczeniu domostw. Nie można odrzucić poglądu, w myśl którego zadecydowały w tym przypadku czynniki wewnętrzne (np. kulturowe lub społeczne) lub też uzależnione było to od ukształtowania terenu osady.

Este artículo tiene como objeto examinar diversos aspectos de la valoración de empresas mediante la aplicación del método de los rendimientos futuros. Se explica alguna de las razones por las cuales se elige este método y se aborda la forma en la que se cuantifican las variables que intervienen.
Las compras verdes, una práctica sustentable y ecológica: posibilidad de su aplicación en el Perú
Authors: García Paz Jorge 
Published: March 2023

Las compras verdes se convierten en parte de una estrategia para la aplicación del desarrollo sostenible en un país, entendido este como el «desarrollo que satisface a las necesidades actuales de las personas sin comprometer la capacidad de las futuras generaciones para satisfacer las suyas» (Informe Brundtland, 1987). Así, también, es parte de una estrategia que trata de contribuir a combatir los efectos del cambio climático e invernadero que ponen en peligro la existencia de nuestro planeta y, por lo tanto, también de la humanidad.Las compras verdes o ecológicas son prácticas comunes en los países desarrollados, sobre todo europeos; sin embargo, son muy poco conocidas en los países de América Latina. Solo Costa Rica está promocionando esta práctica en sus instituciones públicas y ha obtenido considerables beneficios en su implementación.El Estado peruano está compuesto por más de 2 mil entidades públicas contratantes, las cuales están agrupadas en entidades de gobierno nacional y regional, municipalidades, instancias descentralizadas, entidades bajo el ámbito del FONAFE (Fondo Nacional de Financiamiento de la Actividad Empresarial del Estado), de tratamiento empresarial y sociedades de beneficencia. Estas entidades programaron compras en el año 2008 por la cantidad de 58.234 millones de nuevos soles. Sin embargo, muy pocas de dichas compras tuvieron un criterio ecológico en su proceso de selección.El presente artículo tiene por objetivo mostrar las bondades de las compras verdes o ecológicas y la experiencia en países desarrollados, y plantear su aplicación en nuestro país. Así, este trabajo trata de recopilar una serie de experiencias de países en sus compras verdes y se divide en cuatro partes. La primera parte se refiere al marco conceptual de las compras verdes y abarca, principalmente, los diversos conceptos que explican los factores que impulsan a los Estados a implementar dicha estrategia. La segunda parte presenta la experiencia internacional en la que se describen las mejores prácticas. La tercera parte analiza la posibilidad de la aplicación de las compras verdes en el país y, en la cuarta parte, se presentan las conclusiones del artículo

Published: March 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo identificar a percepção de contadores de prefeituras municipais do Estado de Santa Catarina, sobre a implantação de um sistema de custos para a administração pública. Esta pesquisa se justifica, pois o destaque ao sistema de custos para a gestão municipal faz parte da convergência internacional da Conta- bilidade Aplicada ao Setor Público, sendo importante analisar a adesão das prefeituras. No aspecto metodológico este estudo se caracteriza como descritivo quanto aos objetivos, como levantamento quanto aos procedimentos e quali-quantitativo quanto à abordagem de pesquisa. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de questionário submetido aos contadores de prefeituras municipais do Estado de Santa Catarina e contou com 97 respondentes (32,88% da população de 295 prefeituras). A análise foi feita por meio de estatística descritiva e a análise de correspondência. Os resultados evidenciam que a percepção dos contadores municipais é positiva, ou seja, reconhecem a importância da implantação de um sistema de custos para a administração pública, porém apenas 01 (uma) prefeitura municipalimplantou um sistema de contabilidade de custos e 14 (quatorze) estão em processo de implantação.

Published: March 2023

O estudo objetiva verificar a relação entre honorários de auditoria e de honorários de não auditoria com o desempenhoeconômico de empresas listadas na BM&FBOVESPA. Para tanto, realizouse uma pesquisa descritiva, documental e quantitativa por meio da correlação canônica no período de 2010 a 2013. A população do estudo foi de 615 empresas e a amostra compreendeu 319 empresas em 2010, 312 em 2011, 307 em 2012 e 282 empresas em 2013. Os resultados demonstram que quanto menor os honorários de auditoria e os honorários de não auditoria, maior será o ROA e menor será o ROE das empresas analisadas. As variáveis de controle, tamanho da empresa auditada, nível de governança corporativa e empresa de auditoria (BIG4) apresentaram relação com o desempenho econômico, porém, somente o tamanho da empresa apresentou relação positiva. A única variável independente que teve força de associação alta com o desempenho econômico foi o tamanho da empresa. O ROA também se destacou com força de associação acima de moderada em todos os anos. Concluise que houve relação entre os honorários de auditoria e honorários de não audi-toria com o desempenho econômico.
La auditoría social como mecanismo de control de la responsabilidad social de las empresas: la metodología de Theodore J. Kreps

Published: March 2023

Este trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo principal realizar un análisis que muestre las divergentes perspectivas originadas por las diferencias existentes entre el tratamiento establecido bajo el concepto de responsabilidad social y el concepto de auditoría social en la medición, reconocimiento y publicación de los elementos sociales y medioambientales en las prácticas empresariales.De este modo, se identificarán las principales diferencias que se originan de la aplicación de ambos abordajes, señalando la necesidad de la empresa de informar sobre su responsabilidad social de forma más amplia y transparente para la socie- dad donde actúa e interacciona, en términos financieros, sociales y medioambientales.Para tal efecto, vamos a efectuar un análisis del estudio desarrollado por Theodore J. Kreps, que fue la primera investigación académica donde se aplicó efectivamente una metodología de auditoría social. De ahí que el presente artículo realiza una revisión del trabajo de Kreps para tenerse una visión integral de la utilidad de su metodología como un mecanismo de control de la responsabilidad social de las empresas.Los resultados muestran que la contribución de Kreps se hace por proponer una metodología que representa un proceso de informe estructurado por agentes independientes que están fuera del área de influencia de las empresas. Esto signi- fica un aporte a la literatura porque el modelo propuesto por Kreps, diferentemente de los tradicionales informes de responsabilidad social (elaborados desde el ámbito interno de las empresas), se desarrolla a partir del entorno externo, promoviendo interrelaciones con otras empresas y agentes que comparten recursos y ofrecen beneficios sociales paratoda la comunidad.

Authors: Fajriani Nurulia , Masturi Masturi 
Published: March 2023

Using the Sky Map application in astronomy learning of celestial coordinates is intended to analyze students' level of understanding of concepts and digital literacy. Students' understanding of concepts and digital literacy was measured through tests and questionnaires. The research was focused on students who took astronomy courses in the physics department of Semarang State University, totaling 40 students. The type of research used is quantitative research. The research design carried out was pre-experimentation with one group pretest-posttest. There are two variables used, i.e. the use of Sky Map application media as the independent variable, and the improvement of the understanding of the student concept as the dependent variable. The analysis using the Wilcoxon signed rank test showed a significant increase in students' conceptual understanding after using Sky Map application media in learning with an N-Gain of 0.21, and digital literacy in the use of Sky Map application media has attained 83.47% (excellent). Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Sky Map application media in celestial coordinates can help students understand the concept of the material as well as increase their digital literacy skills.
Out-of-Pocket Costs Related to Chagas Disease: The Experience in Endemic Municipalities in Colombia
Authors: Herazo Rafael , Rey Adriana , Galvao Diogo , Medina Camargo Manuel , Cobos Pinzón Nini Johana , Rodriguez Sanchez Alba Cecilia , Marchiol Andrea , Pinazo María Jesus 
Published: March 2023

Background
Out-of-pocket costs are key expenses that many individuals incur in order to receive health services. They have been identified as a key access barrier for vulnerable populations, in particular for populations affected by neglected diseases with a chronic progression, such as Chagas disease. It is important to understand the costs of accessing healthcare services that are borne by patients with T. cruzi infection.
Methodology
We prepared a structured survey for patients with T. cruzi infection/Chagas disease who were all treated by the healthcare system in endemic municipalities in Colombia. The results were analyzed according to three categories: 1. the socioeconomic profiling of the patients; 2. the costs of and time spent on transportation; and 3. the opportunity costs (money that was not earned) related to treatment at the local primary care hospital or at the high-complexity reference hospital.
Main findings
Ninety-one patients answered the survey voluntarily. The data revealed that, when treated at the specialized reference hospital, patients spent 5.5 times more on food and accommodation, transportation costs were five times higher, and the loss of earnings was three times higher than when they were treated at the local primary care hospital. Moreover, the amount of time spent on transportation was 4 times higher at the reference hospital.
Conclusions
Providing comprehensive healthcare services for Chagas management at local primary healthcare hospitals would allow the most vulnerable patients to save on expenses related to medical and non-medical costs (out-of-pocket costs), in turn leading to higher adhesion to treatment thus benefiting the health system as a whole.
These findings are in alignment with the WHO’s World Health Assembly 2010 Resolution on the importance of treating Chagas at local primary care hospitals, thereby saving patients time and money, allowing for timely care, and promoting access to healthcare.
Time-resolved correlation of distributed brain activity tracks E-I balance and accounts for diverse scale-free phenomena

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Much of systems neuroscience posits the functional importance of brain activity patterns
that lack natural scales of sizes, durations, or frequencies. The field has developed
prominent, and sometimes competing, explanations for the nature of this scale-free activity.
Here, we reconcile these explanations across species and modalities. First, we
link estimates of excitation-inhibition (E-I) balance with time-resolved correlation of distributed
brain activity. Second, we develop an unbiased method for sampling timeseries
constrained by this time-resolved correlation. Third, we use this method to show that
estimates of E-I balance account for diverse scale-free phenomena without need to attribute
additional function or importance to these phenomena. Collectively, our results
simplify existing explanations of scale-free brain activity, and provide stringent tests on
future theories that seek to transcend these explanations.
