The addition of specific additives to glass compositions can enhance their shielding properties. This study aimed to investigate shielding parameters such as the linear attenuation coefficient, half-value layer (HVL), tenth-value layer (TVL), and saturation thickness in phosphate glass doped with bismuth oxide. The research was conducted using Monte Carlo computational simulations, which enable accurate modeling of real experiments and analysis of various parameters.

A discussion of Chilean migration policies is merited for several reasons. International migration to Chile has grown exponentially recently, giving rise to social discrimination against migrants and restrictive regularization processes for undocumented migrants. The state needs to adequate its institutions, norms, and infrastructures to absorb the new migration flows.

The popularity of autologous fat grafts has been growing in recent years in the world of plastic surgery due to their applicability with good results for both aesthetic and reparative purposes, such as in cases of asymmetries in Poland syndrome. We report the case of a low-weight patient with Poland syndrome, with improvement in breast asymmetry through sequential breast fat grafting, respecting an appropriate surgical technique.

The Rat poisoning, also known as rodenticide poisoning, is a significant public health and environmental concern. Rodenticides are chemical substances used to control rodent populations, but their misuse or accidental exposure can lead to toxic effects in non-target species, including humans and domestic animals.

La communication est un système organisé motif de comportements qui règlement et rendent possibles toutes interactions entre les individus. Les communications jouent un rôle clé dans la prise de conscience des problèmes agricoles. Dès lors, il s’agit concrètement de reconsidérer l’interaction entre les différentes parties prenantes qui s’inscrivent (ou doivent s’inscrire) dans le processus du développement de la région du Gbêkê par la sensibilisation à l’alphabétisation d’une part et la promotion de la sécurité alimentaire d’autre part.

This study explores the relationship between liquidity risk, corporate governance, and financial performance in Ghana's banking sector. Using a longitudinal dataset from 2018 to 2022, which includes data from 14 commercial banks, the research investigates the impact of liquidity management practices and governance structures, specifically audit quality and board size on banks' financial performance. The findings indicate that audit fees have a statistically significant negative relationship with return on assets (ROA), while the capital adequacy ratio (CAR) positively correlates with ROA.

O artigo "Comparação das Metodologias de Polimento em Corrida, Natação e Ciclismo" tem como objetivo analisar criticamente as diversas metodologias de polimento esportivo aplicadas em três modalidades distintas, a saber, corrida, natação e ciclismo. Através de uma revisão bibliográfica abrangente, o estudo investiga as estratégias adotadas, bem como os impactos e adaptações resultantes no desempenho dos atletas em cada uma dessas modalidades.

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) decisions are one of the key strategic initiatives of a firm that decides the growth trajectory of the firm and puts financial leverage borne through the years. The execution of M&A process, however, is still largely non-digitized because the decisions concerning this have high impact and have to eventually be wetted by executives manually anyway. M&A Execution Process has been unanimously agreed to have bottlenecks revolving around its low level of digitization that contribute to the M&A process being slow and relatively inefficient.

The practice of yogasanas has been recognized for its numerous benefits, including improved physical health, mental clarity, and emotional stability. Despite these well-documented advantages, there remains a significant gap in the awareness and practice of yogasanas among teachers and educators. Teachers and educators play a crucial role in shaping the minds and lives of students. Their well-being directly impacts their ability to perform effectively in their professional roles.

The study analyzes e-learning environments at Amran University in the context of trends in contemporary universities. Using a descriptive analytical approach and a questionnaire as the study tool, it was applied to 28 university experts. The key findings are as follows: there is a 63% gap in the e-learning environment at Amran University, with 8 elements of strength and opportunities identified and 12 elements of weakness and threats, with an arithmetic average greater than 2.5.
