The paper provides a systematic analysis of the origin, spread, and causes of shaft failure in the four-axle electric locomotive series 441. Based on this analysis, recommendations for preventive diagnostic maintenance are provided to timely identify the condition and avoid shaft failure, which is a vital component of the locomotive. Failure to maintain it in a timely manner can lead to catastrophic human, ecological, and material consequences. The paper also presents and explains the fracture surfaces of the locomotive’s hollow drive shaft, following a railway incident that caused the derailment of the rail vehicle, resulting in significant material damage. The presented fracture analysis is based on research into the mechanisms of failure, which by their appearance and action cause the formation of an initial crack. The dominant factor in the formation of the initial crack is material fatigue, and the potential presence of inclusions or local initial notches in the material structure formed during the shaft manufacturing process. Research has shown that the measured residual internal stresses after the shaft failure reached up to 470 MPa, significantly exceeding the allowable 300 MPa.
Alexander the Great between the Greek pantheon and Eastern cults
Authors:   University of East Sarajevo, Faculty of Philosophy, Bosnia and Hercegovina, Trifković Dimitrije
Published: October 2024

The unilateral portrayal of Alexander III of Macedon as an Oriental despot has influenced various interpretations regarding his relationship with religion. An intriguing dilemma arose: did the greatest conqueror of antiquity remain faithful to traditional Hellenic religion, or did the noticeable changes in his behaviour and mode of governance also lead to the acceptance of foreign deities from different regions of the conquered Persian Empire? The use of narrative, numismatic and epigraphic sources suggests an answer to this quandary. Until the end of his life, Alexander maintained piety and sincere reverence for the Greek gods. He honoured the entire Olympian pantheon, as well as other deities and heroes from Hellenic tradition and mythology. Instances of adopting foreign religions and cults, such as those in Egypt or Babylon, were politically motivated. State interests imposed such an attitude so that the new ruler of the world could legitimize his position through religion. Alexander’s patron gods always remained Greek, and only the Hellenistic period brought about the true mixing of great civilizations and diverse religious systems.

Published: October 2024

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of different chicken feather vermicompost rates collected from poultry waste and applied as organic fertilizers on the growth performance of sunflowers.
 
Theoretical Framework: In this study, the chicken feather vermicompost was formulated based on the combination of chicken feathers, chicken dung, mushroom medium residue, and banana trunks. The completed chicken feather vermicompost was applied to the sunflower to evaluate the growth performance.
 
Method: The methodology involved five different rates; T1 Control (300g organic fertilizer), T2 (200g chicken feather vermicompost), T3 (300g chicken feather vermicompost), T4 (400g chicken feather vermicompost), and T5 (500g chicken feather vermicompost). Total of 35 sunflower plants were applied with 5 treatments for 7 replications.
 
Results and Discussion: The physio-chemical properties of chicken feather vermicompost, such as EC, pH, moisture, and temperature were optimal for decomposition organism growth and reproduction. The population and reproduction of Eudrilus eugeniae in vermicompost are influenced by all ingredients used in vermicomposting. The results show that the different chicken feather vermicompost rate affects sunflowers' growth performance. T5 exhibits the best performance in the number of flowers, number of leaves, relative chlorophyll content, fresh weight, and dry weight.
 
Research Implications: By considering the chicken feather vermicomposting method, it is useful in reducing environmental pollution by managing waste efficiently.
 
Originality/Value: This study provides a new technique for maximizing poultry waste through the chicken feather vermicomposting process and identifies the optimum rate of chicken feather vermicompost on growth performance of sunflowers for sustainable agriculture.

PERAMPASAN ASET PELAKU TINDAK PIDANA KORUPSI
Authors: Zikril Akbar Tanjung Zikril
Published: October 2024

Perampasan aset ialah bentuk pemberantasan dalam mengurangi angka kejahatan korupsi pada Indonesia yang ketentuan nya telah terdapat dalam kitab   Undang-Undang aturan Pidana (KUHP) tentang pidana tambahan. Penerapan perampasan aset telah dilakukan dalam banyak kasus korupsi tetapi jumlah aset yang dirampas cenderung tidak sepadan dengan jumlah kerugian keuangan negara yang sudah di korupsi. Prosedur perampasan aset akibat tindak pidana korupsi pada Indonesia ada di dalam kitab undang-undang hukum pidana, KUHAP, Undang-Undang No. 20 Tahun 2001 jo. Undang- Undang No. 31 Tahun 1999 wacana Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi serta Undang-Undang No. 8 Tahun 2010 tentang Pencegahan serta Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana pencucian Uang. Selain itu, ada pula instrumen aturan internasional yg diadopsi untuk memperkuat upaya perampasan aset asal tindak pidana korupsi, mirip UNCAC yang diratifikasi oleh Pemerintah Indonesia menjadi Undang-Undang angka 7 Tahun 2006 tentang ratifikasi konvensi Persatuan Bangsa-bangsa Anti Korupsi di tanggal 18 April 2006. Indonesia membutuhkan pengaturan yg memilki kekuatan hukum yang lebih bertenaga dan mempunyai prosedur khusus mengenai prosedur penyitaan aset dan harta kekayaan yg diduga diperoleh asal akibat tindak pidana korupsi. dapat disarankan kepada Pemerintah dan legislatif buat segera mendorong pembahasan dan pengesahan Rancangan Undang-Undang perampasan aset.
 
Asset seizure is a form of eradication in reducing the number of corruption crimes in Indonesia whose provisions have been contained in the Criminal Code (KUHP) concerning additional crimes. The application of asset seizure has been carried out in many cases of corruption but the amount of assets seized tends to be out of sync or commensurate with the amount of state financial losses that have been corrupted. The procedure for asset seizure due to corruption in Indonesia is in the criminal code, KUHAP, Law No. 20 of 2001 jo. Law No. 31 of 1999 discourse on the Eradication of Corruption and Law No. 8 of 2010
concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering. In addition, there are also international regulatory instruments adopted to strengthen efforts to seize assets from criminal acts of corruption, such as UNCAC which was ratified by the Government of Indonesia into Law number 7 of 2006 concerning the ratification of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption on April 18, 2006. Indonesia needs an arrangement that has more powerful legal force and has special procedures regarding procedures for confiscation of assets and assets allegedly obtained from corruption crimes. It may be suggested to the Government and legislature to immediately encourage the discussion and passage of the Asset Forfeiture Bill.

Authors: Sarwar Huda , Azam Muhammad , Rana Maaz Suhail , Farooq Muhammad Umar , Sarwar Erum , Ambreen Atiqa
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Pakistan has the highest burden of Tuberculosis (TB) worldwide and the 5th highest prevalence of multi- drug resistant (MDR) TB worldwide. There is scarce data on the socioeconomic characteristics and factors associated with the patients presenting with drug resistant-TB in Pakistani context.
Aims & Objectives: To determine the association of different variables with rifampin resistance (RR) in new and previously treated cases of pulmonary (PTB) and extra-pulmonary TB (EPTB)
Place and Duration of Study: It was a cross-sectional study conducted at Gulab Devi Hospital Lahore, a tertiary care trust hospital. Data was collected from Oct 2021 to December 31, 2021.
Material & Method: By applying convenient sampling technique, 202 individuals were interviewed, and data was recorded on a self-constructed questionnaire. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24.0. Frequency tables were generated for sociodemographic variables as well as the site of TB and Chi square test was applied to find association between categorical variables. P value of <0.05 was considered significant. Patients who were categorized as having RR- TB based on detection of RR on Gene Xpert RIF/MTB assay were included.
Results: In this study the mean age of the patients was 31.46±14.67 years, 77 (38.1%) patients were males, and 125 (61.9%) patients were females. Statistically significant association was found between the site of RR-TB (PTB or EPTB) and history of repeated TB treatment (p = 0.049) as well as sex (p = 0.019). There were also statistically significant differences between new or previously treated RR-TB and patients’ sex (p = 0.019), repeated treatment (p = 0.049) as well as treatment failure (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: More females compared to males suffered from both RR-EPTB and RR-PTB. Also, a higher number of patients with RR-PTB had a history of repeated TB treatments compared to those with RR-EPTB. In addition, significant association was found between sex, treatment failure and repeat anti-tuberculous therapy in previously treated RR-TB patients as compared to new RR-TB cases.

Authors: Munazza Sardar  , Yasmeen Bashir  , Shamsa Mohsin  , Fatima Inam
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Acetaminophen is known for its analgesic and antipyretic properties. Its use in therapeutic doses is safe but overdosing or misuse makes it harmful. It has toxic effects on the cell of liver and kidneys. Scientific evidence highlights the antioxidant effect of flax seed oil in preventing the damage caused by acetaminophen on the kidneys.
Aims and Objectives: To observe the nephrotoxic effect of acetaminophen and see the protective effects of flax seed oil on nephrotoxicity induced by acetaminophen.
Place and Duration of study: The study was carried out in the research lab of University of Health Sciences, Lahore with ERB number No. UHS/ANAT/6827. The duration of the study was three months.
Material and Methods: Twenty-four male Albino rats were divided randomly into three groups, consisting of 8 animals each. The rats were 6-8 weeks old and weighed between 175-225 gm. Animals of group A served as control and were given 5ml/kg normal saline (NS) each, intraperitoneally on day1. Animals of group B were given 1000 mg/kg acetaminophen (AAP) intraperitoneally dissolved in 5ml of NS on day1. Group C animals were given flax seed oil (FSO), 2 ml at a dose of 1.86gm/kg orally, once daily. On the 14th day, a single intraperitoneal dose of acetaminophen, 1000 mg/kg dissolved in 5ml/kg normal saline was given, one hour after giving flax seed oil. The animals of group A were sacrificed on the 15th day, whereas animals of group B and C were sacrificed 48 hours after giving acetaminophen. Kidneys were removed and excised after necropsy and prepared for histological examination.
Results: The cortical region in the kidneys of group A showed normal histological finding. All the AAP treated animals showed evidence of renal damage. In Group C, FSO pretreatment significantly reduced AAP induced changes in kidney as shown by restoration of its histological structure.
Conclusion: AAP is nephrotoxic and FSO ameliorates its effect in rats.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Chalcones, are a group of organic compounds containing two aromatic rings bridged by a three-carbon -a,
?; unsaturated carbonyl system. This attracted much attention because of their versatility in pharmacological profiles.
Aims & Objectives: To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of a particular chalcone derivative, namely (E)-1-(4- bromophenyl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl) prop-2-ene-1-one.
Place and Duration of Study: It was conducted in the Pharmacology Laboratory of the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Khyber Medical University, Peshawar, and the University of Malakand for about one year.
Material & Method: This was a lab-based experimental study. The therapeutic efficacy of a chalcone derivative, (E)-1- (4-bromophenyl)-3-(4-chlorophenyl) prop-2-ene-1-one was assessed through an experiment on pain and inflammation in mice. Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction and spectroscopic tools were used.
Results: Pharmacological data proved a significant decrease in pain and inflammation as compared to Diclofenac Sodium. Reduction of 75.20% in acetic acid-induced writhing as compared to 84.4% with Diclofenac. After 3 hours, there was 67.08% reduction in edema.
Conclusion: This study provides evidence that chalcone derivatives in moderation may be effective and safer than present-day drugs that address pain and inflammation. This result may need to be further clinically related to potentially translate them in different patient populations in terms of efficacy and safety.

Published: October 2024

Soil temperature and its variations at different depths are unique parameters that contribute to
the understanding of both surface energy processes and regional environmental conditions. This
study reports the effects of oil and gas exploration (pollution) on soil thermal properties in
Ogoniland, Rivers State, Nigeria. The scope of this study is limited to the determination of the
temperature and pH of the soils. A total of thirty (30) soil samples were collected randomly
using vegetation, slope, and altitude factors from three (3) local government areas of
Ogoniland, Rivers State, Nigeria for determining the point for each sampling, coordinates, and
elevation. Soil samples were collected at two depths: 0-15 cm (Topsoil) and 15 – 30 cm
(Subsoil) with the aid of a Dutch stainless steel hand auger from four (4) sites (impacted) at
different locations within the study area and one (non-impacted) control site outside the project
area. A standard digital soil thermometer was employed to determine the temperature of the
soils in situ in both regions. It has been observed that the pH and temperature of soils in situ
and their variation with test points (location) agree with the results reported in these and similar
environments. Hence, it can be concluded that the soils in Eleme, Gokana and Tai Local
Government Areas may be recommended, but, with caution, for agricultural activity, laying of
gas pipelines, or buried cable in the areas, since the values of these properties observed were
within the range of standard values.
The Semantics of Cognitive of the Concept of “Deprivation” in M. Bulgakov’s Novel “The Master and Margarita”

Published: October 2024

The proposed article is devoted to the deprivation semantics, presented through cognitive models (structures), which in turn form the concept of “deprivation”. The actual material was semantic structures with the term 'deprivation', embodied by verbalization of individual linguistic units and fragments of the text of M. Bulgakov’s novel “The Master and Margarita”. The deep structures of these fragments cover cognitive models of various types in the text. The analysis of the material was carried out by using methods of cognitive, semantic, and functional analysis, as well as the philological method of research. The results of the analysis suggest that cognitive models, embody superfluous semantics, contribute to the transmission of the main idea of the authors. The results obtained are effective in analyzing the text of the novel at school and university for educational purposes, as well as for forming a moral perspective of modern society. Superfluous semantics contains a negative connotation, and the reader, perceiving the event being presented, introduces it into a certain social context, it seems necessary to study the perception of statements with superfluous semantics by the readership. This can contribute to the improvement of the content and formal means used, as well as presentation techniques. At the same time, it seems to us unjustified to identify the semantics of deprivation and denial, as well as to interpret the superfluous semantics in the context of opposition to the semantics of the primitive. In addition, as the review of linguistic sources on this issue shows, the works of scientists not only lack a clear separation of the category of deprivation from semantically related categories but also do not consider its status in the paradigm of linguistic knowledge as a whole. The need for research, therefore, consists in affirming one of the views on the term “deprivation” within the confines of a disagreement of opinions, in other words, in bringing the term to uniformity.
Description of the Time of Night and the Color Palette in Modern Kazakh Poetry (Based on the Poems of T. Abdykakimuly)

Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the poetry of Tynyshtykbek Abdikakimuly, a poet and laureate of the State Prize of the Republic of Kazakhstan, focusing on the representation of innovative artistic quests from a thematic and ideological perspective, the issues between man and society, and the characteristics of national character. The article identifies the aspects of artistic mastery in the works of the poet Tynyshtykbek Abdikakimuly, as well as the unique features of the structures that open the way to determine his individual authorial signatures, gain insight into his spiritual quests, and highlight his stylistic signature. The cognitive aspects of the concept of night in his poetry collections “Letters of Dusk” and “The Fifth Season of Fragrance” are analyzed. The depiction of the natural world and human emotions at night is vividly expressed through colorful metaphors. The imagery system during the “night” is explored, filled with romantic yet absurd and illogical states. Additionally, the language of Abdikakimuly’s poetry is examined from the perspective of national consciousness, focusing on the semantics of colors that acquire new meanings and interpretations within the poetic text. The color palette reflects the distinctive characteristics of the linguistic color picture of the poet's works, which are an integral part of a unified artistic image of the world. The analysis includes the individual authorial metaphors and similes of the images of “night” and the “color palette” in conveying the emotional state and inner feelings of the lyrical character. The research involved collecting, categorizing, examining, and analyzing the poet's works. The conducted studies demonstrate that the qualitative characteristics of the night imagery and color palette define the author's individuality and artistic mastery.

Published: October 2024

Studies have explored the relationship between travelling non-linear post-secondary (PSE) pathways and student achievement in multiple jurisdictions. This research aims to overcome some of the major challenges faced by scholars in this area by leveraging a new administrative linkage in Ontario, Canada containing detailed information on students’ academic performance at the high school level, while also holistically capturing their subsequent trajectories through PSE. Our analyses allow us to estimate the presence of a transfer penalty with respect to graduation rates that survives all available controls. We discuss the implications of this penalty for both future research and policy making in Ontario and comparable jurisdictions.

Published: October 2024

Measuring job satisfaction in the manufacturing sector can be more difficult than in other industries due to the characteristics of the workplace. Physical working conditions, job security, salary, and organisational culture all have a substantial impact on employee happiness in the manufacturing industry. Understanding work satisfaction in Malaysia’s manufacturing sector demands a comprehensive approach that considers the industry’s particular difficulties and considerations. As a result, the researchers chose Bbraun Medical Industry Sdn Bhd, a well-known company in Penang, Malaysia, to investigate employee satisfaction in the Malaysian manufacturing industry. The goal of this study is to investigate the factors that influence job satisfaction among 50 respondents. The study employed the quantitative method of a survey, and the findings indicate that there is a substantial association between job satisfaction with flexibility, nature of work, benefits, and a positive relationship with the supervisor. In their recommendations, the researchers believe that there is potential for improvement in terms of providing welfare and benefits to front-line operators in every industrial industry. By addressing these issues, employees’ job happiness will increase, as will company performance. Perhaps in future research, more studies of job satisfaction will be done in a wider scope of methods, sample size and territories and variables to get more in-depth analysis in various manufacturing industries.
Historical Realities and Specificities of the December 2019 Special status for North West and South West Regions of Cameroon
Authors: Deyeb Charity N.
Published: October 2024

The aspect of living together of the people of Cameroon from the time of unification in 1961 has since then evolved politically and socio-economically to have a culture so unique only to her. The former British southern Cameroons and the majority French Cameroun who willingly and constitutionally came together adapted a system of government that gave room for the two culture to coexist side by side. Over fifty years down the lane this one time united, loving and friendly people have in the past eight years been experiencing violent socio-political crises in what was earlier known as the Anglophone problem. A crisis began with the Anglophone teachers crying against marginalization of the Anglo Saxon educational system by their francophone system and the lawyers requesting for a place of the common law at the supreme bench was soon high jacked by some citizens with separatist’s ideas. These sequences lead to violent extremism. Several calls from both national and international institutions for the Cameroon government to quickly resolve the problem lead to the convening of the major national dialogue from 30th September-4th October 2019. The December 2019 law of decentralisation which gave the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon a special status is its fruits. Moved by the persistence of violent extremism in these regions even after the national dialogue, this article seeks to answer the question; what are the motivational trend for conflict in Anglophone Cameroon and what could be done to improve on the situation? This article argues that, the problems of Anglophones have socio-political origin, are largely addressed in the realities of this law and that much attention given to its specificities by the beneficiaries it will be realistic. Examining the concepts and articles of the 2019 law in qualitative research method, we discovered that, accumulated socio-political marginalization laid the foundation for the outbreak of violent crises from 2016 and that a majority of the concerned masses are ignorant of the content thus, benefits of the law. This research proposes that, with proper exploitation and application of the 2019 law of decentralization, given its specificities for Anglophones, there will be a facilitation of national integration, social cohesion amongst Cameroonians and sustainable national development.

Published: October 2024

This research was motivated by the problem experienced by some of the eighth grade students at SMPN 5 Sojol Donggala Central Sulawesi Indonesia. It was identified that the students found it difficult to speak English properly. The research used quantitative research with correlational design to examine the correlation between students’ grammar mastery and their speaking ability. The technique used for collecting data used was written and oral tests. The research used random sampling technique to determine research sample. The researcher used person product moment correlation to analyze research data. Based on the results of the correlation analysis between grammar mastery and speaking ability using the formula of r (0,589), it was found that the index was in the interval of 0.40 -0.70. This suggested that between X variable and Y variable there was medium correlation with the variable degree of freedom (df) N-nr = 30-2 = 28. By consulting to ‘r’table product moment, it was found in the table of significance of 1% it was obtained 0.4226 and of 5% was 0.361. By comparing the values of rxy = 0.589 and ‘r’table 0.4226 and 0.361, the assumption was made that rxy was bigger than ‘r’table or in short 0.361 ≤ 0.589 ≥ 0.4226. Therefore, this supported the alternative hypothesis to be accepted. It could be concluded that there was a medium correlation between grammar mastery and speaking ability of the eighth grade students’ at SMPN 5 Sojol. The medium correlation between grammar mastery and speaking ability of the eight grade students of SMP 5 Sojol indicates that while grammar is important, it should be taught in conjunction with other skills in a communicative, integrated manner. This approach will better equip students to become effective speakers of English, as they will develop the ability to use grammar flexibly and appropriately in real-life communication.

Published: October 2024

Recreational therapists typically read about moral treatment in their introductory textbooks, which indicate that recreational therapy (RT) has its roots in moral treatment. Recreational therapists, however, are typically not provided the opportunity to gain an understanding of how moral treatment developed and the basics that underlie its practice. Nor are they aware that many principles taken from moral treatment are being applied within the practices of those in the recreational therapist profession today. This article describes the beginnings of moral treatment, how it influenced psychiatric care in the United States, its demise, and, most importantly, what it has brought to the practice of contemporary RT.
Trastornos del sueño en pacientes con fibrosis quística
Authors: Jorquera Pinto Pablo
Published: October 2024

Los trastornos del sueño son comunes en pacientes con fibrosis quística y afectan significativamente su calidad de vida. Estos pacientes experimentan una reducción en la calidad del sueño, hipoxemia nocturna, alteraciones en la polisomnografía y una alta prevalencia de síndrome de apneahipopnea obstructiva del sueño. Los factores que contribuyen a estas alteraciones incluyen la tos crónica, los síntomas digestivos, las rutinas de tratamiento y, posiblemente, la disfunción del canal CFTR. Sin embargo, el impacto de los moduladores de CFTR en la mejora de los trastornos del sueño aún no está claramente establecido, lo que resalta la necesidad de más estudios para comprender mejor su papel en el manejo del sueño en pacientes con fibrosis quística.

Background and Aim. Heavy metal contamination of the environment and food has attracted intense public attention as it poses a serious threat to the ecological system and human health. Heavy metals are chemical elements that have a toxic effect on the human body. The expansion of various industries has led to a significant increase in levels of these components within envi ronment.Materials and Methods. Current work represents diagnostics and comparison of the content of heavy metals in poultry meat of domestic production and imported origin studied in 2023 using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).Results. Large concentrations of arsenic and lead were found in the samples, not exceeding the maximum permissible concentrations, while the cоntent of mercury and cadmium was at trace levels. The obtained data allows to assess the level of heavy metal contamination and compare the safety of poultry meat produced in the Republic of Kazakhstan and abroad.
Conclusion. A clear understanding of the ways and mechanisms by which heavy metals pose a risk to human health when consuming contaminated food products makes it possible to adopt appropriate strategies for managing and mitigating their negative effects. In addition, development of hand-held portable devices is needed for timely on-site diagnostics of HMs to ensure quality of meat products is sufficient for human consumption.
Soil With Local P- Phytoremediation Of Crude Oil- Contaminated Plant Species

One of the most extensive challenges to soil is contamination with crude oil this normally occurs in areas that experience bulky oil production and transportation. In this research the feasibility of four plant species indigenous to Iraq; namely Pteris vittata, Epipremnum aureum, Mucuna bracteata, and Imperata cylindrica are examined for their application in phytoremediation of soil polluted by crude oil. Held at the University of Baghdad, a greenhouse experiment was done by inoculating the soil with 5% (w/w) crude oil and then comparing the efficiency of the above plant species within a period of six weeks. The crude oil content of the soils was determined with UV-Vis spectrophotometer, pH of the samples was measured with pH meters while moisture content was determined by gravimetric technique. The results shown all the species of plant reduced the crude oil concentration and the highest removal efficiency of 50%. 36%. Vegetated treatments are also reported to have shown changes of the pH and moisture levels of the soil in the study. These findings should therefore serve to endorse the ability of local plant species to cleanse crude oil contaminated soils; as well as open up the prospect of local plant species’ utilization in sustainable environmental management strategies in Iraq. A number of recommendations are provided for future studies focusing on the long-term consequences of using these plant species for phytoremediation or the ways to improve the efficiency of these processes.

A pot experiment was conducted during the Kharif 1 season at Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur, to explore the synergistic effects of biochar and inorganic fertilizers on the growth, yield, soil properties, and nutrient use efficiency of chili (Capsicumannum L.). The study was structured in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with five treatments: T0 = Control (no fertilizer), T1 = 100% recommended doses of NPK, T2 = 100% biochar (10t ha-1), T3 = 75% biochar + 25% NPK, T4 = 50% biochar + 50% NPK, and T5 = 25% biochar + 75% NPK, replicated four times. Results indicated that combined treatments of biochar and NPK fertilizers significantly enhanced chili growth and yield attributes compared to individual applications. Among the treatments, T4 (50% biochar + 50% NPK) recorded the highest values for most growth parameters, including plant height (38.6 cm), root length (10.50 cm), and number of leaves (78 plant-1), as well as yield attributes like the number of fruits per plant (119), individual fruit weight (2.1 g), and total fruit weight (249.5 g). This treatment also improved soil properties, particularly pH, organic matter content, and available phosphorus, while enhancing nutrient use efficiency having strongly positive correlation. The findings suggest that a 50:50 combination of biochar and NPK fertilizers optimizes chili production by reducing chemical fertilizers with improved soil health through the enhancement of efficient nutrient uses and crop productivity, making it a promising strategy for sustainable agriculture.

Authors: Valente Daniel de Figueiredo
Published: October 2024

O presente trabalho de pesquisa acadêmico-científica tem como objeto de estudo o Princípio da Anterioridade, e como objetivo geral está circunscrito à análise do principio da anterioridade, bem como a definição do seu alcance, tendo em vista que é tema importantíssimo para o Direito, e em especial ao Direito Tributário, uma vez que é princípio basilar do ordenamento jurídico e tem influência direta na tributação, assim como pelo fato de ser princípio que garante o cumprimento de outros princípios constitucionais, tais como a segurança jurídica e a legalidade. A metodologia aplicada ao estudo é explicativa quanto aos fins e bibliográfica quanto aos meios. Seu conteúdo aborda aspectos conceituais sob a perspectiva histórica e do direito, de forma contextualizada; correlação entre o Princípio da Anterioridade e outros princípios jurídicos tributários; principais diferenças entre as três formas em que o princípio da anterioridade se apresenta, bem como os seus reflexos quanto à eficácia das normas que instituem, majorem ou modifiquem o tributo; verificar-se-ão as principais exceções ao Princípio da Anterioridade, tais como sua incidência no imposto incidente sobre a renda e proventos de qualquer natureza, nos impostos extrafiscais e no imposto extraordinário. Enfim, o estudo nos leva a inferir que a norma da anterioridade reflete diretamente na produção de efeitos que a norma instituidora, majoradora ou modificadora de tributo terá nos eventos ocorridos no mundo jurídico.
