Globalization processes, transformational changes, and the development and expansion of the capital market are not only factors in the development and growth of the economy but also possible motivators for individuals in terms of obtaining improper benefits. Corruption consistently occupies the top place among the problems troubling society. Modern institutions must develop and implement such means, methods of protection, as well as alternatives that would minimize the occurrence and realization of corruption risk. Some of the most important ways are to raise consciousness and integrity, eradicate stereotypical thinking, and promote the principle of zero tolerance to any forms and manifestations of corruption. One of the next important means is maximum digitalization in society, business and government. The inevitability of punishment is another of the mandatory top elements, without which preventing, detecting and combating corruption will not have the desired effect. The aim of the study is to reveal the essence, purpose and objectives of the anti-corruption audit. In general, to develop and substantiate the conceptual foundations of anti-corruption audit in the context of modern challenges and concerns existing in society. During the research, the author's approach to revealing the conceptual basis for the construction and implementation of anti-corruption audits in domestic reality has been formed. An anti-corruption audit is one of those effective mechanisms that will allow to build a transparent, responsible activities not only at the level of enterprise or institution but also at the level of the entire country and the global economy as a whole. It is through the prevention and eradication of negative trends and actions of officials, management, and other personnel in abusing their official position and undue influence in their own interests that it will be possible to achieve sustainable development of society as a whole.

Published: December 2024

Recent advances in precision agriculture highlight the crucial role of machine learning in predicting crop yields by discerning intricate patterns in agro-meteorological data. However, its adoption in the oil palm industry in Thailand remains limited. This study aimed to compare machine learning algorithms for predicting the oil content from different parts of both ripe and raw oil palm fruits (top, middle, and down). Additionally, we compared algorithms for predicting oil volume in semi-ripe and unripe fruits. Among the methods used, Random Forest and Gradient Boosting models mostly excelled in predicting the oil content at different positions on the oil palm fruit. In contrast, Decision Trees and XGBoost were the most accurate predictors of oil volume for semi-ripe and unripe oil palm fruits, respectively. Overall, this research emphasizes the potential of machine learning to enhance oil palm industry practices and optimize agricultural strategies in Thailand.

Published: December 2024

A agricultura familiar exerce função essencial na sustentabilidade agrícola. Porém, a dificuldade de realização das tarefas nas propriedades familiares tem desmotivado a permanência dos jovens no campo, como consequência, está ocorrendo o envelhecimento da população rural. A cultura da soja, embora seja uma commodity, começa a surgir como alternativa aos agricultores familiares pelo cultivo orgânico. Contudo, sem a mecanização adequada, seu cultivo torna-se dificultado. Para amenizar esse problema, equipamentos têm sido idealizados e concebidos para esse fim, dentre esses se destacam as semeadoras. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi comparar dois protótipos de semeadoras concebidos à agricultura familiar comparando-os com um modelo de semeadora de precisão de pequeno porte, produzida em escala comercial, na cultura da soja nos sistemas de semeadura direta e convencional. Como variáveis-resposta foram analisadas o índice de velocidade de emergência da cultura da soja (IVE), espaçamentos aceitáveis, falhos e duplos e a massa seca da parte aérea da cultura (MSPA) aos 35 dias após a emergência da cultura (DAE). De forma geral, os protótipos tiveram resultados satisfatórios nas variáveis avaliadas quando comparados com a semeadora comercial. O protótipo com sulcador por hastes teve resultado superior em algumas variáveis em função da conservação da umidade escassa no momento da semeadura da cultura. Ao contrário, a semeadora com preparo localizado por meio de sulcadores rotativos teve, em algumas variáveis, seu desempenho prejudicado em função da condição de déficit hídrico inicial, sendo esse um aspecto a ser considerado em sua utilização.

A exploração do solo, especialmente para fins agrícolas, desempenha um papel crucial no desenvolvimento humano, mas práticas inadequadas têm levado à degradação da qualidade do solo e do meio ambiente. Estudos sobre Latossolos, amplamente encontrados no Brasil, indicam que diferentes formas de manejo influenciam significativamente seus atributos físicos e químicos. Solos sob mata nativa geralmente apresentam maior condutividade hidráulica, estabilidade de agregados e equilíbrio químico, em comparação com sistemas agrícolas intensivos. O objetivo desse estudo foi realizar uma revisão detalhada dos sistemas de manejo adotados no oeste do Paraná e comparar com a mata nativa. Práticas como o sistema de plantio direto com rotação de culturas têm demonstrado resultados positivos, aproximando-se das condições de solos naturais, enquanto o plantio direto sem rotação e as pastagens frequentemente mostram limitações, como redução na infiltração de água e estabilidade estrutural. Indicadores como densidade do solo, porosidade, condutividade hidráulica, pH, nutrientes e matéria orgânica têm sido utilizados para avaliar os impactos desses sistemas. A literatura reforça a necessidade de práticas conservacionistas, como rotação de culturas e cobertura vegetal, para mitigar os impactos da exploração agrícola e promover a sustentabilidade dos solos. Esses achados destacam a importância de integrar estratégias de manejo que favoreçam tanto a produtividade quanto a preservação ambiental.
A experiência da instituição escolar com a práxis político-educativa do trabalho associado

Os caminhos da prática social, entendida como práxis propriamente dita, são complexos. Se de um lado, há diferentes concepções para orientação da atuação do sujeito, de outro, há um sentimento de desilusão desencadeado pelas guerras mundiais, pela faceta burocrática do socialismo na Rússia e pelo surgimento de regimes totalitários. Nesse quadro, a escola que antes era marcada pela formação crítica na qual o conhecimento se destacava sobretudo pelo seu valor social, cultural e político, vem sendo substituída por uma hibridação que leva em conta o saber apenas em função do seu valor profissional, de modo a formar indivíduos com saberes economicamente valoráveis. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo tem por objetivo destacar a importância da articulação escola com a práxis da sociedade civil organizada. Nosso enfoque visa mostrar que a experiência da instituição escolar, através do contato com o trabalho associado na sociedade civil e mediada por uma práxis político-educativa, pode contribuir para um processo de educação transformadora. Nosso aporte metodológico é constituído pelo referencial marxista segundo o qual compreendemos que qualquer reformulação da educação é inconcebível sem a transformação do quadro social. Dessa forma, portanto, apontamos a escola como espaço de disputa política no qual se tornaria imprescindível a perspectiva emancipatória.

Building recognition is a very difficult task to achieve, since their images have different angles and lighting conditions and partial obstructions from trees, moving vehicles or other buildings. Thus, due to all these difficulties, this work proposes a recognition system that uses the Gabor filter representation for feature extraction and the Wavelet transform for dimensionality reduction, and the Multilayer Perceptron artificial neural network for recognition. To verify the efficiency of this system, a database of images of new and old buildings was used. The performance of the method stands out significantly in relation to other methods found in other published works.

O Balanço Hídrico Climatológico (BHC) é uma das formas de monitorar o armazenamento de água no solo, sendo ferramenta essencial no planejamento agrícola e estratégias de manejo das culturas. Apesar de ser uma ferramenta para o planejamento, o BHC ainda não é conhecido para regiões com atividade agrícola. Portanto, objetivou-se com este estudo estimar e analisar o BHC de Thornthwaite e Mather e classificar o clima para o município de Palmas, Paraná. De acordo com os resultados, verificou-se que o balanço hídrico apresentou evapotranspiração real (ETR) e potencial de 774,98 mm, sem déficit hídrico e um excedente hídrico de 1115,32 mm. O tipo climático foi representado por ArB’2a', ou clima mesotérmico superúmido sem deficiência hídrica.

A mandioca é um dos produtos mais populares da alimentação no Brasil, sendo relevante para a segurança alimentar, sobretudo no Maranhão em que as áreas produtoras destacam-se pela capacidade elevada de produção, diversidade de usos, flexibilidade de plantio e colheita, assim como por sua importância sociocultural. Por isso objetiva-se analisar as práticas e desafios da mandioca produzida no Maranhão, a fim de subsidiar diálogos e oportunidades atinentes ao incremento e à inovação dessa cadeia produtiva. Para tanto, procedeu-se revisão bibliográfica apoiada em levantamento e de dados e informações, seleção de três municípios produtores de mandioca no Maranhão, análise e interpretação das informações e dados obtidos. Os dados revelam que: a produção é predominantemente realizada por agricultores familiares, com grande parte destinada ao autoconsumo; entre os derivados, destaca-se a farinha (principal), a aguardente (tiquira) e a cerveja Magnífica; há necessidade de modernização das técnicas de cultivo, a melhoria das infraestruturas de processamento e a organização dos produtores em cooperativas ou associações. Conclui-se que faz-se necessária a efetivação de cooperativas e pequenas indústrias, incentivos e políticas públicas voltadas para o desenvolvimento da cadeia produtiva da mandioca, visando à superação da falta de capital e acesso a crédito, capacitação técnica e infraestrutura precária.

O Haemonchus contortus, helminto responsável pela hemoncose, parasita hematófago que afeta principalmente os ruminantes, pertence à família Trichostrongylidae. A infecção por esse parasita pode causar sérios danos à saúde dos ruminantes, incluindo anemia severa, edema submandibular e, em casos graves, a morte. As lhamas, pertencentes à família Camelidae, são animais nativos de altitudes elevadas, adaptados a ambientes com baixo nível de oxigênio e vegetação rasteira. Embora sejam herbívoras e possuam um sistema digestivo especializado, com três estômagos, as lhamas, como outros ruminantes, podem ser hospedeiras do Haemonchus contortus. O impacto do Haemonchus contortus nas lhamas pode afetar a saúde do rebanho e a produção animal. A prevenção e controle de infecções parasitárias são essenciais para garantir a produtividade e o bem-estar dessa espécie, especialmente em ambientes onde a exposição a pastagens contaminadas é alta. Esse trabalho tem como objetivo relatar o caso do parasitismo por Haemonchus contortus em uma lhama.

Objetivou-se por meio deste estudo caracterizar o valor nutricional dos resíduos gerados durante a poda branda ou severa de oliveiras em olivais comerciais destinadas à produção de azeitonas. Adotou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro tratamentos e seis repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram de diferentes partes das plantas de oliveiras, enquanto a blocagem contemplou diferentes propriedades ou talhões dentro de uma mesma propriedade. Como tratamento estudou-se: (1) ramos com azeitonas; (2) folhas; (3) caules; (4) ramos poda severa. As amostras foram coletadas em pomares comerciais, depois separadas, trituradas e submetidas à procedimentos laboratoriais para determinação do valor nutricional. Neste, foram contempladas as análises de matéria seca (MS), matéria mineral (MM), matéria orgânica (MO), proteína bruta (PB), fibra em detergente neutro (FDN), fibra em detergente ácido (FDA) e hemicelulose. A partir destes dados foram estimados o valor relativo da forragem (VRF), a digestibilidade da matéria seca (DMS), o consumo de matéria seca em percentual do peso vivo (CMSPV) e os nutrientes digestíveis totais (NDT). Em todos os parâmetros estudados houve diferença entre os tratamentos. Ramos (93,86 g/kg), folhas (77,05 g/kg) planta inteira (96,62 g/kg) pemitiram obtenção de volumes com teores de PB acima de 70 g/kg. Os valores de FDN (605,24; 595,07; 730,51 e 624,67 g/kg) e FDA (488,14; 516,07; 631,54 e 516,36 g/kg) foram elevados nos ramos, folhas, caule e planta inteira, respectivamente. Os resíduos da poda de oliveiras embora tenham apresentado teores elevados de FDN e FDA, possuem potencial nutricional evidenciado pelos teores de proteína bruta, CMSPV, NDT e VRF. Entretanto, são necessários novos estudos para definição das suas recomendações de inclusão em dietas de ruminantes.
