1. The role of satisfaction with the performance appraisal: a comparative study between the public and private sectors
Abstract Purpose To study in Portugal (a) whether satisfaction with the performance appraisal (PA) differs depending on the sector where the workers perform their functions (private versus public), and (b) whether the relationship between workers’ perception of usefulness and accuracy of the performance appraisal process (PAP) and satisfaction with the ou

3. A New Approach to the Splitting Factor Preconditioner Applied to Linear Programming Problems
ABSTRACT In this paper, we present the results of a new approach to the splitting factor preconditioner, which is a preconditioner based on the Incomplete Cholesky factorization and the splitting preconditioner. In previous work for small linear programming problems, the preconditioner was applied in all iterations of the interior point method and compared w

4. A Way to Start Transanal Total Mesorectal Excision for Rectal Cancer
ABSTRACT Introduction The optimal rectal cancer care is achieved by a multidisciplinary approach, with a high-quality surgical resection, with complete mesorectal excision and adequate margins. New approaches like the transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) aim to achieve these goals, maximizing the sphincter preservation ratio, with good oncologic and

5. Evaluation of the Current in the Cell Membrane for Numerical Simulations of Electroporation
Abstract This study presents a rigorous numerical analysis of the current in the cell membrane, subjected to a uniform electric field, and its impact in the pore formation. The numerical model considers a single cell composed of uniform membrane and cytoplasm, in a suspension medium. The current in the cell membrane is calculated using two different approach

6. Percutaneous and endoscopic combined treatment of bladder and renal lithiasis in mitrofanoff conduit
ABSTRACT Introduction and Objectives: Treatment of bulky lithiasis in continent and non-continent urine storage reservoirs has been widely described and debated (1). Less is known about the optimal treatment in patients with a Mitrofanoff conduit. If voiding in these patients is incomplete, leading to recurrent symptomatic bacteriuria, formation of large li

7. ON A NEW APPROACH TO PEIRCE’S THREE-VALUE PROPOSITIONAL LOGIC
Abstract In 1909, Peirce recorded in a few pages of his logic notebook some experiments with matrices for three-valued propositional logic. These notes are today recognized as one of the first attempts to create non-classical formal systems. However, besides the articles published by Turquette in the 1970s and 1980s, very little progress has been made toward

8. Mobilizing a pluralist theoretical approach to understand microlending digital platforms: the AfricaMC case
Abstract Purpose This study aims to explore how a microlending digital platform connects social investors in developed countries and micro-entrepreneurs in Africa. However, additional research is necessary to discuss how online auction models are designed and implemented and how existing theories can explain their use in the so-called developing countries.

9. PREDICTIVE PROCESSING AND THE SEMIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE: COMMENTARY TO DUFFLEY
Abstract The aim of this commentary is to underpin Duffley’s notion of a stable mental content that corresponds to the literal word meaning with a computationally plausible cognitive theory. Our approach is to investigate what these stable contents could be according to the so-called Predictive Processing architecture. We argue that recent advances in cogn

10. An alternative approach for blocking the superior trunk of the brachial plexus evaluated by a single arm clinical trial
Abstract Background Interscalene brachial plexus block is associated with phrenic nerve paralysis. The objective of this study was to evaluate an alternative approach to interscalene brachial plexus blocks in terms of efficacy, grade of motor and sensory blockade, and phrenic nerve blockade. Methods The study was prospective and interventional. The ten liv

12. Definition and management of very high fracture risk in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis: a position statement from the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism (SBEM) and the Brazilian Association of Bone Assessment and Metabolism (ABRASSO)
ABSTRACT Several drugs are available for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Over the last decades, most patients requiring pharmacological intervention were offered antiresorptive drugs as first-line therapy, while anabolic agents were considered a last resource for those with therapeutic failure. However, recent randomized trials in pati
