Alocação da força de trabalho para um processo de cross-dokcing utilizando modelo de programação linear inteira mista
Authors: Demarch Emmanuel Bomfim , Scarpin Cassius Tadeu 
Published: August 2023

O cross-docking é uma estratégia utilizada por gestores dentro dos centros de distribuição que visa transferir os produtos que são descarregados no setor de recebimento diretamente para o setor de expedição. Desta forma, reduz ao máximo o tempo dos produtos em estoque e a quantidade de manuseio interno. Dentro deste processo, a etapa de descarregamento dos veículos influencia diretamente a estratégia de cross-docking. Para a realização desta etapa é necessário alocar, da melhor maneira possível, os operadores disponíveis no centro de distribuição para cada um dos veículos. A alocação dos operadores é diretamente ligada ao Problema de Agendamento de Veículos para as docas(locais destinados para as atividades de carregar e descarregaros veículos estacionam). O problema de agendamento tem sido bastante explorado por pesquisadores, pois auxilia aos gestores dos CDs a entenderem quando e onde um veículo deve ser (des)carregado. Entretanto, parte predominante das pesquisas não consideram o fator força de trabalho. Dentro da estratégia de cross-docking na indústria, a alocação da força de trabalho é uma decisão importante devido ao seu impacto no prazo de entrega e custos. Desta forma, a proposta foi apresentar um modelo matemático sobre o Problema da Alocação da Força de trabalho para descargas em um centro de distribuição com cross-docking.

Authors: Dozie Kelechukwu C. N. , Ihekuna Stephen O. 
Published: August 2023

This study discusses the effect of missing data on Buys-Ballot estimates of trend parameters and seasonal indices. The method adopted in this study is based on the row, column and overall means of the time series arranged in a Buys-Ballot table with m rows and s columns. The method assumes that (1) Only data missing at one point at a time in the Buys-Ballot table is considered. (2) the trending curve is either linear or exponential (3) the decomposition method is either additive or mixed. The article shows that, the estimation of the missing data as they occur consecutively with the errors being normally distributed. Result indicates that, under the stated assumptions, the differences between trend parameters in the presence and absence are insignificant, while that of seasonal indices are significant.

Authors: Chandrakanta Alka , Vinay Deepa 
Published: August 2023

Aims: The auto sector in India contributes 7.1% of the country's GDP and is predicted to earn USD 810.3 billion by 2026. However, India has a greater death rate and poorer job safety than the United States, where industrial accidents happen 20 times more frequently. Musculoskeletal disorders are a significant cause of disability and accidents at work. The goal of the study was to evaluate the existing working conditions in the automobile industry, where mechanics play a crucial role in precision.
Study Design: The present study was carried out in Uttarakhand at Udham Singh Nagar district, block Rudrapur; Nainital district, block Haldwani; and Almora district, block Dwarahat. Purposive and random sampling techniques were used to select the study area and samples. The total 75 respondents and 14 garages were selected.
Methodology: A checklist was developed to get information about the health status of garage workers, awareness of occupational hazards, use of personal protective equipment, risk assessment, and workplace analysis.
Results: The study reveals that Udham Singh Nagar garages provide cent per cent PPE to their workers, while Nainital and Almora districts lack proper facilities. Nearly half of workers lack worksite cleaning facilities, slip-resistant floors, spray booths, dip tanks, and clean toilets. Additionally, a quarter of garages require adjustments to work height, foot platforms, item holders, work-rotation systems, hanging toolboxes, and hazardous chemical container labeling.
Conclusion: 7.1% of India's GDP is contributed by the auto industry, which is projected to generate $810.3 billion by 2026. In contrast to the US, the nation has a greater fatality rate and a worse level of workplace safety, and industrial accidents happen there 20 times more frequently. According to a survey conducted in Uttarakhand, whereas Nainital and Almora districts lack adequate amenities, Udham Singh Nagar garages offer cent per cent PPE to employees. There aren't enough clean restrooms, or there aren't enough slip-resistant floors for the majority of employees.

Fifteen genotypes of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) with 18 yield contributing traits, were studied for correlations and path coefficients. The experiment has been done at Vegetable Research Farm of Department of Horticulture, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi-221005, during Rabi season of 2020-21. The experiment was laid under Randomized Block Design with three replications. Using genotypic correlation, it has been found that the fruit yield per plant significantly positively correlates with lycopene, titrable acidity, pericarp thickness, fruits per plant, ascorbic acid and days to 50% flowering. This indicates that the selection of these qualities will impact the number of fruits produced by each plant. Yield per plant was showed the significant positive direct effects with ascorbic acid, pericarp thickness, firmness, fruit yield per plant, TSS, locules per fruit, number of fruits per plant, fruit diameter, lycopene content, seed test weight and days to 50% flowering at the genotypic path coefficient level that indicated the selection for these traits might be effective and there is a possibility of improving yield per plant through selection based on these characters. The investigation contains the necessary information to support the objectives, as shown by the residual influence at the genotypic (0.198) and phenotypic (0.206) routes.

Electrochemical Hydrogenation of Organic Compounds: A Sustainable Approach
Authors: Jayan Krishnapriya , Thadathil Ditto Abraham , Varghese Anitha 
Published: August 2023

AbstractConventional methods for hydrogenation of organic compounds generally use corrosive catalysts and reagents, along with extreme conditions like high temperatures and pressures. Quenching of corrosive materials does not deter its negative impact on the environment, nor is one safe when it comes to working with high temperature and pressure. Electrochemical hydrogenation (ECH) has proven to be safe and green since most of the efficient reactions are conducted at ambient pressure and temperature, minimizing, and sometimes even negating the use of toxic catalysts and corrosive reagents as compared to conventional methods. This review therefore provides different strategies used for ECH in the past, modification of different electrodes, half reactions taken up for efficient energy usage and catalysts used for different hydrogenation reactions. It presents the advances in electrochemical hydrogenation reactions of organic compounds, starting from simple aliphatic compounds to complex polyaromatics and heterocyclic aromatic compounds.
Regioselective and Enantioselective Copper‐Catalyzed Hydroaminocarbonylation of Unactivated Alkenes and Alkynes

Published: August 2023

AbstractGiven the prevalence of amide backbones in marketed pharmaceuticals and their ubiquity as critical binding units in natural peptides and proteins, it remains important to develop novel methods to construct amide bonds. We report here a general method for the anti‐Markovnikov hydroaminocarbonylation of unactivated alkenes under mild conditions, using copper catalysis in combination with hydroxylamine electrophile reagents and poly(methylhydrosiloxane) (PMHS) as a cheap and environmentally friendly hydride source. The reaction tolerates a variety of functional groups and efficiently converts unactivated terminal alkenes, 1,1‐disubstituted alkenes, and cyclic alkenes to the corresponding amides with exclusive anti‐Markovnikov selectivity (and high enantioselectivities/diastereoselectivities). Additionally, with minimal modification of the reaction conditions, alkynes can also undergo tandem hydrogenation‐hydroaminocarbonylation to alkyl amides.

Published: August 2023

AbstractGel‐polymer electrolytes (GPEs) offer a suitable alternative to flammable organic liquid electrolytes in lithium‐oxygen batteries (LOBs) to address safety concerns. However, a major challenge with GPEs is their low ionic conductivity. To enhance the ionic conductivity of GPEs, active inorganic particles have been incorporated. To increase the ionic conductivity of GPE, active inorganic particles have been reinforced in GPE. While this increases the ionic conductivity, it also leads to blockage of the cathode porous structure and reduces the actual surface area of the cathode materials, resulting in poor battery performance. This study proposes a novel double‐layer polymer gel electrolyte (d‐GPE) that exhibits both high ionic conductivity and stability for quasi solid‐state LOBs. The double‐layer GPE consists of a bare GPE layer integrated in the cathode, and a composite GPE (c‐GPE, containing 5 wt. % lithium aluminum titanium phosphate (LATP)), which is in contact with Li anode and bare‐GPE. The produced double‐layer gel polymer electrolyte displays high reaction kinetic and better stability due to the excellent electrode/electrolyte interface and rapid oxygen diffusion in the air‐cathode. Furthermore, the d‐GPE electrolyte is resistant to fire and protects Li from dendrite growth and water molecules attack, indicating tremendous promise for the development of practical LOBs.
Functional communication training and a chained schedule of reinforcement to reduce escape‐maintained challenging behavior related to a daily routine

Published: August 2023

AbstractChildren with autism spectrum disorder often exhibit challenging behavior to avoid exposure to common daily tasks or routines. There is a need to investigate methods to teach appropriate communication to replace challenging behavior and increase tolerance for daily routines. However, the data to support its use to decrease challenging behavior associated with an activity or routine is limited. In the present study, the authors evaluated the use of parent‐implemented functional communication training (FCT) with a modified chained schedule of reinforcement to reduce challenging behavior associated with a nonpreferred daily routine. One 6‐year‐old male diagnosed with autism participated in this study. The functional analysis indicated that he engaged in challenging behavior to terminate throwing trash away. The authors then conducted a treatment evaluation to assess the efficacy of the FCT with a modified chained schedule of reinforcement in reducing challenging behavior and increasing the number of items that could be thrown in the trash. Results indicated that FCT with a modified chained schedule of reinforcement was effective in decreasing challenging behavior.
