This idea helps us formulate primary research questions -if a country has a better human and gender development index it should have more women that actively participle in business and have a real influence on decision making. Our findings are in line with the fact that Slovenia and Croatia are leading countries in the West Balkan region in terms of the index mentioned, therefore shaping a better place for the position of women in society. On the other hand, Serbia has the lowest value of 2 out of 3 ind...

Our results improve and extend some of the stability and boundedness results in the literature which themselves are extensions of some results cited therein. We give example to illustrate the result obtained.

O ensino a distância (EAD) oferece uma variedade de ferramentas e técnicas, nos quais se destacam neste momento web conferência/vídeo conferência. A web conferência e seus recursos têm oportunizado a realização de aulas remotas e ao vivo, num modelo onde docente e discentes se encontram no mesmo dia e horário, para promover o ensino-aprendizagem. Este artigo tem por objetivo investigar o recurso de aulas remotas e ao vivo, através de ferramentas colaborativas, como as de web conferência, diante do cenário de confinamento e Covid-19 que se apresenta. Como metodologia, aplicou-se um questionário a quarenta e um professores, para identificar e analisar suas práticas. Além disso, realizou-se um relato de experiência do autor. Como re...

This study aimed to measure the staff doses in the nuclear medicine (NM) and interventional cardiology (IC) departments in Sudan and assess whether the measured doses fall within the recommended radiation protection standards. 37 members of staff involved in the NM and IC procedures were monitored using electronic personal dosimeters (EPDs). In IC, the average monthly Hp (10) values ranged from 30.0 to 38.9 µSv (to cardiologists), from 3.6 to 13.5 µSv (to nurses), and from 3.5 to 8.9 µSv (to technologists). The annual effective dose ranged from 1.95 to 2.53 mSv (to cardiologists), from 0.23 to 0.88 mSv (to nurses), and from 0.23 to 0.56 mSv (to technologists). In NM, the monthly Hp (10) values ranged between 83.0 and 84.0 µSv (to nurses), 38.8 and 54.0 µSv (to pharmacists), 16.9 and 70.2 µSv (to technologists), 40.2 and 76.6 µSv (to physicists). The annual effective doses ranged from 0.91 to 0.92 mSv (to nurses), 0.43–0.59 mSv (to pharmacists), 0.19–0.77 mSv (to technologists), and 0.44–0.84 mSv (to physicists). The estimated doses fall below the recommended annual dose limit. However, the lack of a radiation surveillance program and use of occupational exposure control tools are of concern in both the IC and NM departments.
