Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is to develop an e-LKPD using a Live Worksheets with GeoGebra-assisted for geometric transformations, especially translation. The translation sub-topic was chosen because many students still need help finding translation concept. The type of research carried out in development research to produce e-LKPD using the ADDIE method consists of stages Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The test subjects in this study were 15 students with high, medium, and low math ability categories. Subjects are divided into three categories to determine students' understanding of the e-LKPD so that they are able to achieve learning mastery. Students from junior high school (SMP Negeri 39 Surabaya) were selected as subjects because they had never used GeoGebra-assisted e-LKPD. The data collection instruments in the study consisted of validation sheets, learning outcomes tests (THB) and student response questionnaires. The results of this study indicate that the validation results with an average score of 3.73, which means that the e-LKPD on translation is included in the very valid criteria and is feasible to use. The analysis of the use of e-LKPD shows that the average student response is 3.39, which means e-LKPD is positive and practical. Based on the test scores for learning outcomes, 14 of the 15 research subjects scored pass the KKM, so using e-LKPD can help students learn about translation materials. Thus the translational e-LKPD using a GeoGebra-assisted Live Worksheets are valid, practical and effective.

Published: May 2023

The concept of legal principles for intellectual property (IP) protection is related to the adequate marketing of drug patents to protect patent rights. The objective of this research is to understand and analyze the factors affecting the market concerning international law, treaties, acts, and declarations, leading to encouraging creativity, production, increased investment, especially amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The qualitative methodology provided for an in-depth understanding and analysis of primary and secondary research data gathered from key informant interviews and published literature. The collected data were analyzed with Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threats (SWOT), a Delphi panel, and Correct, Adapt, Maintain, and Explore (CAME) analysis. The results found legal problems concerning the lack of rules to protect the rights and freedoms damaged by the monopoly on drug patents, complexities in the process of importing medicinal compounds, and how to access information with limited accessibility during COVID-19. Therefore, it is advisable to amend the law to curtail monopolies and to enact a law that prescribes rules for importing medicinal compounds to produce generic drugs in the country, including identifying the status of the patent holders. The research further paves the way for utilizing micro level research to be conducted in the development of intellectual property rights. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-SPER-016 Full Text: PDF

É amplo o debate sobre os desafios crescentes para as entidades gestoras de ativos de engenharia, tais como redes de energia, transportes, água, ou portefólios de edifícios dos setores da saúde, da educação, da justiça, da administração, entre outros sistemas de ativos de engenharia que suportam o funcionamento das sociedades. Muitos destes sistemas estão envelhecidos e carecem de intervenções para as quais são necessários recursos nem sempre imediatamente disponíveis. Neste contexto, é crucial que estas entidades gestoras de ativos de engenharia melhorem continuamente as suas capacidades de gestão de ativos, tendo em vista uma otimização sistemática do desempenho, risco e custos dos ativos, tanto no curto como no longo prazo, assegurando em simultâneo que os objetivos da organização são atingidos e que as necessidades e expectativas das várias partes interessadas são satisfeitas e sustentadas no tempo. Este artigo procura contribuir para a aceleração da implementação dos programas de gestão de ativos neste tipo de organizações, apresentando uma estratégia de aceleração assente na liderança e no planeamento da gestão de ativos, consubstanciada em requisitos mínimos para a estrutura e para os conteúdos de um Plano de Gestão de Ativos (PGA). A proposta de estrutura e conteúdos mínimos para um PGA é apresentada juntamente com exemplos de aplicação desta estratégia de aceleração numa entidade gestora de ativos de engenharia.
ESTUDO COMPARATIVO ENTRE DIFERENTES TIPOS DE INTEGRAÇÃO DE SISTEMAS DE FACILITY MANAGEMENT E BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING
Authors: Sampaio Rodrigo , Costa António , Flores-Colen Inês
Published: May 2023

A Gestão de Instalações ou Facility management (FM) é uma atividade profissional que contribui para a manutenção, melhoria e adequação dos edifícios em condições de uso, envolvendo atividades multidisciplinares e contando com diferentes tecnologias para promover um ambiente produtivo que suporte os objetivos primordiais da organização. Além disso, vários sistemas específicos carregam as informações do FM. Com o aparecimento dos edifícios inteligentes, que incorporam a maioria dos espaços com objetos inteligentes, o Building Information Modelling (BIM) tem proporcionado aos gestores uma melhoria na qualidade das operações a custos mais baixos e num tempo mais reduzido, permitindo a troca de informações entre os diversos stakeholders envolvidos. No entanto, um dos maiores desafios para a adoção da abordagem BIM é garantir uma troca de informação eficiente e robusta. Ademais, devido ao elevado número de dados gerados ao longo do ciclo de vida de um ativo, é crucial fornecer consistência de troca de informação, rastreabilidade e um repositório a longo prazo, de modo a que as soluções atuais devam incluir a integração de dados de sistemas FM e BIM. Assim, a interoperabilidade e a integração automática são os principais motivos de problemas durante o ciclo de vida de um ativo, assim como a assimetria de informação e a fragmentação de dados. Para isso, modelos de dados de padrão aberto melhoram essa integração entre modelos BIM e os sistemas FM. Este artigo discute abordagens convencionais com potencial e maior impacto na integração de dados FM e seus benefícios e deficiências.

Authors: ÖZCAN GÖKÇEK Emel , IŞIK Raziye
Published: May 2023

Objective: CPT1A intervenes in the access of the long-chain fatty acyl-CoA to the mitochondrial matrix. In this study, we conducted the genetic polymorphisms of the partial sequence of the CPT1A gene in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) that were cage cultured in the Aegean Sea.

Material and Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from 100 European sea bass individuals. After amplifying a partial region of the CPT1A gene by thermal cycler, PCR products were sequenced via Sanger method.

Results: We detected two SNPs in partial sequence of the CPT1A gene in European sea bass. TT, TA and AA genotypes were observed for CPT1A g.2080T>A locus with frequencies of 27.04, 49.92 and 23.04%, respectively. The frequencies of the g.2216A>G locus as AA, AG and GG were found to be 1.2, 19.58 and 79.21%, respectively. The CPT1A g.2080T>A locus was in HWE, whereas the g.2216A>G locus was not in HWE.

Conclusion: European sea bass has a high commercial value. These findings suggest that two SNPs in the CPT1A gene could be used for genomic selection programs related to fatty acid composition in European sea bass.

An investigation was carried out to study the nature and amount of gamma ray induced genetic variability in littlemillet during kharif, 2006 and rabi, 2006-2007. Two released varieties CO3 and CO(Samai) 4 were treated with gamma rays. The maximum variability was observed for plant height and total number of tillers in M2 generation of both CO3 and CO(Samai)4. A high heritability associated with a high genetic advance as percentage of mean was observed for total number of tillers and grain yield in M2 generation. With reference to lodging character CO (Samai)4 mutants showed high heritability with genetic advance in the progenies of 500 and 600 Gray of M2 generation. Mutants in 500 and 600 Gray also exhibited maximum variability, heritability and genetic advance for plant height, total number of tillers, number of nodes, inter-nodal length, culm thickness and grain yield. Therefore, selection in these progenies would be rewarding to have lodging resistance with reduced plant height and inter-nodal length and increased number of nodes, culm thickness and grain yield. These desirable mutants would be forwarded to further generation until they obtain homozygosity.

An experiment was conducted with eighty branched and non branching sesame genotypes to study the association between the yield and yield attributing traits. Observations were recorded on eight traits viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of capsules per plant, 100 seed weight, grain yield per plant and oil content. In general the genotypic correlation coefficients were slightly higher than the phenotypic correlation coefficients, indicating the masking effect of the environment in the total expression of the genotypes. Plant height and number of capsules per plant showed significant and positive correlations with single plant yield at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. The trait plant height and number of capsules per plant showed positive correlation with all the other traits except 100 seed weight where as number of branches per plant showed negative correlation to oil content. The character number of capsules per plant showed high positive direct effects on grain yield per plant. The indirect effect of number of capsules per plant on grain yield through plant height, number of branches per plant, oil content and days to maturity was high.

In a long term fertilizer experiment with rice-rice cropping sequence, the changes brought about in the available sulphur status of soil were studied. Available sulphur status decreased from 20 to 9.5 ppm when S-free NPK fertilizers were used for 13 years, whereas it increased to 30.8 and 39.5 ppm, when NPK fertilizers containing 45 and 67.5 kg sulphur were applied per hectare per season, respectively. With the application of S-free NPK fertilizers, there was 21% decrease in grain yield in kharif but no decline in yield was noticed in the summer crop because of the addition of around 10 kg S/ha through irrigation water. Over the period a positive response to sulphur in kharif rice in most of the years was observed and its magnitude increased with the progress of cropping cycles. This indicated that an application of 44 kg S/ha/cropping cycle would be necessary to maintain the sulphur status of the Inceptisol.

Two field experiments were conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, India in the wet (September 2001 to January 2002) and dry seasons (February to June 2002) aimed at understanding the effect of different crop management practices on rice yield. Four crop management practices were investigated with two levels: crop establishment (transplanting of 23 d old seedlings vs. 14 d old seedlings in wet season and direct sowing in dry season), Irrigation (conventional flooded irrigation vs. water saving irrigation), weeding methods (manual vs. mechanical weeding) and nutrient management (recommended amount of fertilizers without vs. with green manure). There was no grain yield advantage for planting 14 days old seedlings compared to 23 days old conventional seedlings, though produced higher tillers and spikelets, but because of increased sterility and reduced grain weight in wet season. In dry season, direct wet seeding to 20x20cm spacing was better than transplanting due to higher number of filled grains per unit area, in spite of higher sterility and reduced grain weight. Modified method of planting either younger seedlings/direct sowing is an alternate to the conventional method of planting irrespective of the season or variety. Its superiority lies only when it combines with appropriate irrigation and weed management practices. The water saving irrigation is suitable for the wet season but not for the dry season since it affects the spikelet formation.

Studies were carried out to evaluate the biological activity of organic amendments against the fruit borer, Helicoverpa armigera and safety of botanicals and biopesticides against egg parasitoid, Trichogramma chilonis Ishii and biochemical effects of Pseudomonas florescens on tomato under pot culture conditions. The feeding and infestation of the larvae of H. armigera were significantly low in FYM + Azospirillum + SSB + Phosphobacteria + Neem cake and followed by FYM + Azospirillum + SSB + Phosphobacteria + mahua cake applied plants. Trichogramma parasitization on H. armigera eggs was adversely affected by Neem oil 3% on treated plants followed by NSKE + Spinosad. Under laboratory condition among the microbial pesticide tested Spinosad (75 g a.i./ha), HaNPV + Spinosad + Bt (1.5 x1012 POBs/ha +75 g a.i./ha +15000 IU/mg (2 lit/ha), Spinosad + Bt (75 g a.i./ha +15000 IU/mg (2 lit/ha) showed superiority in exhibiting higher insecticidal toxicity (100 per cent mortality on 72 h) to all instars of H. armigera larvae. Biochemical parameters like phenol content, peroxidase and phenyl alanine ammonialyase (PAL) activity recorded higher levels in Pseudomonas florescens seed treatment @ 30 g/kg of seed and foliar spray @ 1 g/litre treated tomato plants. These biochemical components were negatively correlated to H. armigera infestation in tomato.

Sundaralingam (1995) and Akilan (1986) reported variations in maturation and translocation of assimilates from source to sink of different umbel order in carrot and coriander, respectively. Information on seed quality of safflower as influenced by position of heads is scanty. Hence, studies were conducted with safflower cv. K1, in the Department of Seed Science and Technology, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.

In Tamil Nadu, surface water flows are diminishing due to monsoon failures, decline in storage capacities of tanks due to encroachment, silting etc., leading to over exploitation of ground water. This led to lowering of groundwater table, increasing the pumping costs and change of water quality. A survey was made to assess the suitability of underground water both from open and bore wells at every revenue village of Thiruchirapalli district. Thiruchirappalli district with an area of 4,40,412 ha has been subdivided in to eight taluks comprising 483 revenue villages. The water samples, collection from all the revenue villages were analysed for pH, EC and cationic and anionic composition and the quality parameters like Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) and Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) were computed.

Sprinkler irrigation has become an economical irrigation method both in terms of water use efficiency and crop productivity. For an established sprinkler irrigated cropping system, it is essential to identify season wise crops and intercrops to be included in the cropping sequence. Greengram due to its increasing demand, shorter duration and lesser water requirement, can be accommodated at any stage of the sequence without dislocating other crops. Though it is a drought tolerant, requiring less input and care, irrigation and application of fertilizers etc. are essential to exploit the production potentiality of greengram. Ascertaining the proportion of influence of different crop production factors in enhancing the yield attributes and yield, sprinkler irrigation will open way for formulating future strategies

Gazzi de Sá e Seu Método: Proposta para uma Educação Musical
Authors: (jardeldesouzajps@gmail.com) Jardel Pereira de Souza
Published: May 2023

Este trabalho apresenta alguns aspetos da pedagogia musical do professor Gazzi de Sá, nascido em João Pessoa, no estado da Paraíba, em 1901. Ele foi uma importante referência na Formação Musical brasileira do século XX, tendo fundado uma escola de música em 1931 e criado o Coral Villa-Lobos em 1936. A proposta pedagógica de Gazzi de Sá enfatiza o uso da voz e da abordagem gráfica como ferramentas para a iniciação à escrita, leitura e execução musical. O professor também acreditava que a Educação Musical deveria fornecer experiências musicais significativas para os alunos, e, para isso, recorria à música tradicional como fonte de material para a prática musical. De modo a melhor situá-lo, faremos uma breve contextualização histórica e musical do Brasil no início do século XX, marcada pela música nacionalista e movimentos musicais populares que buscavam a utilização de componentes nacionais e internacionais em suas composições. Finalmente, sua proposta pedagógica será comparada com ideias de outros autores inseridos em outros contextos.
Villa-Lobos e o Canto Orfeónico
Authors: (adrianasouzaacns@gmail.com) Adriana Carla do Nascimento Souza
Published: May 2023

Este artigo destaca a importância da música tradicional na Educação Musical através da principal prática pedagógica de Heitor Villa-Lobos, o canto orfeónico. Villa-Lobos é uma figura importante da música brasileira, sendo reconhecido como músico, compositor e educador. Ele nasceu no Rio de Janeiro em 1887 e introduziu o canto orfeónico no Brasil, uma forma de canto coletivo que tem raízes na França do início do século XIX. Villa-Lobos tornou-se o principal executor desta prática musical em todo o território nacional e, com sua pedagogia musical, buscou ensinar as crianças a apreciar a boa música, desenvolver sua inteligência e fomentar a cooperação coletiva, patriotismo, civismo e disciplina. O canto orfeónico é distinto do canto coral erudito, pois não exige conhecimento musical ou treinamento vocal complicado dos participantes. Esta forma de canto coletivo permite que as crianças participem e desfrutem da música sem necessidade de habilidades complexas, fomentando também a interação e desenvolvimento social. O artigo conclui comparando a Educação Musical de Villa-Lobos com outras propostas pedagógicas.
Bandas de Música Civis: Comunidades Educativas de uma Ecologia Cultural
Authors: (josecidade1@gmail.com) José Cidade , Caramelo João , Costa Alexandra Sá

A confluência de condições sociais e políticas propiciaram, no decurso do século XIX, o desenvolvimento de um associativismo recreativo e cultural (França, 1999; Mattoso, 2011) que se traduziu na génese de associações civis e de outras organizações de matriz associativa. Estas instituições podem ser caraterizadas pela conjugação dos propósitos de realização individual e do contributo efetivo para o bem-estar comum (Lima, 1982), particularidades que se ajustam seguramente às instituições sociais maioritariamente nas quais se inserem as bandas de música civis. Constituídas como contextos de cariz tendencialmente voluntário, as bandas de música civis mobilizam processos de formação artístico-musical, numa perspetiva de desenvolvimento individual e coletivo com dimensão educativa. Ao olhar de uma sociologia da educação não escolar (Afonso, 1992), as práticas sociais que caraterizam as bandas de música civis são passíveis de integrar o conceito de Community Music (Higgins & Willingham, 2017) e podem ler-se como processos educativos maioritariamente de natureza não formal e informal, traduzindo um caráter fluído do fenómeno educativo, envolvendo a comunicação, a interação e a relação intergeracional num conjunto de contextos sociais autênticos, também eles educativos (Koopman, 2016). No entanto, este foco está menos presente na produção global da investigação sobre bandas de música, já que implica que os conceitos de educação e aprendizagem sejam alargados e problematizados. As pesquisas mais recentes sobre aprendizagem autêntica e situada ou da educação orientada para o processo (Koopman, 2016), e as abordagens de educação não formal de segunda geração (Rogers, 2019) podem tornar-se essenciais para caracterizar e entender melhor as bandas de música civis enquanto contextos educativos. O nosso projeto de investigação de doutoramento, baseado numa abordagem multimétodo (Creswell & Creswell, 2018) com recurso a uma estratégia de estudo multicaso (Stake, 2006), tem o objetivo de examinar e compreender os processos educativos gerados nas práticas das bandas de música civis, tanto numa perspetiva individual como comunitária. Nesta comunicação, a partir de uma revisão de escopo e da análise de conteúdo temático efetuada, procura-se relevar os efeitos socioeducativos e os modos de os concetualizar que emergem da pesquisa, associados à participação ativa de jovens e adultos em agrupamentos musicais instrumentais, tais como as bandas de música civis, relacionando-a, nomeadamente, com o potencial educativo dos contextos não escolares e o reforço de uma ecologia cultural local.

The length-weight relationship, condition factor, and hepatosomatic index of three of the most abundant and commercially valuable croaker (Sciaenidae) species in the coastal waters of Nigeria were examined following mass fish kills. A total of 489 individuals of Pseudotolithus were sampled, and Pseudotolithus elongatus formed the bulk of the catch, comprising 67.55% by numbers, followed by P. typus and P. senegalensis, which represented 23.15% and 22.56%, respectively. LWRs were estimated to be BW = 0.0133TL2.38 for P. typus, BW = 0.0537TL2.86 for P. senegalensis, and BW = 0.00391TL3.00 for P. elongatus. The condition factors recorded ranged from 0.64±0.04 to 1.93±0.03 for P. typus, 0.74±0.04 to 1.85±0.05 for P. senegalensis, and 0.73±0.03 to1.61±0.01 for P. elongtatus. The HSI values for P. typus ranged from 0.64±0.04 to 1.93±0.03, 0.74±0.04 to 1.85±0.05 for P. senegalensis, and 0.73±0.03 to 1.61±0.01 for P. elongtatus. In conclusion, the results of this study would be very useful to execute specific management for the Sciaenid fishery in other coastal waters in Nigeria to achieve its sustainability.
