A importância da literatura indígena na sala de aula
Authors: Oliveira Maria Betânia da Rocha de
Published: October 2024

Este artigo aborda a relevância da literatura indígena no contexto educacional brasileiro, considerando o papel dessa produção literária na resistência e valorização das culturas dos povos originários, conforme previsto pela Lei n. 11.645/2008, que estabelece a obrigatoriedade do ensino da cultura indígena nas escolas. A partir de uma perspectiva histórica, o texto apresenta a trajetória das nações indígenas desde antes da colonização europeia, destacando a riqueza de suas culturas, línguas e costumes que foram, por muito tempo, negados ou silenciados pela cultura dos brancos. O artigo segue um percurso metodológico que parte da contextualização histórica dos povos indígenas no Brasil, abordando suas contribuições linguísticas e culturais, até chegar à sua luta por direitos e reconhecimento, com destaque para a organização e mobilização política que resultaram em legislações desenvolvidas para a preservação de suas identidades. Autores como Krenak (2019), Grupioni (2008) e Munduruku (2006) são utilizados como referenciais teóricos para fundamentar a análise, oferecendo insights sobre as questões relativas à cultura, à memória e à inserção da literatura nas salas de aulas. Além disso, o texto discute a importância da inserção da literatura indígena no currículo escolar, não apenas como uma forma de reconhecimento das culturas indígenas, mas também como uma ferramenta para promover a inclusão e o respeito à diversidade cultural. Ao fazer com que a sociedade em geral, e os alunos em particular, conheçam e respeitem as culturas indígenas, o capítulo defende que a educação pode desempenhar um papel fundamental na construção de um Brasil verdadeiramente multicultural e inclusivo.

Anatomical variations (AV) are modifications in morphological features that do not imply functional impairment. Among the structures most affected by them are the blood vessels, of which the superior (SMA) and inferior (IMA) mesenteric arteries (IMA) stand out. This study aimed to carry out a systematic review with meta-analysis in order to identify the prevalence of different SMA and IMA VAs. The steps taken followed the PRISMA guidelines and the study protocol was registered and published on the PROSPERO platform (CRD42022336763). For the meta-analysis, the R-studio was used, adopting the random distribution model, the chi-square test, and the I-square test to investigate heterogeneity and its amplitude, respectively. After all the steps described in the protocol, 124 articles were obtained for systematic review and 23 for meta-analysis. The most prevalent vertebral level of origin of the SMA was at L1, (95% CI; 0.58: 0.41–0.73; X12= 14.90, p < 0.001; I2= 93%), and that of the IMA was at L3 (IC 95%; 0,40: 0,22–0,62; X12= 10,32, p = 0,001; I2= 90%). Normal prevalence of SMA was observed in 77% of subjects (95% CI; 0.66–0.85; X152= 322.02, p < 0.001; I2= 95%).It also calculated the different prevalence regarding the vessels of origin of the SMA and its branches, which was not always possible to be carried out with the IMA, due to the scarcity of this information in the primary studies included in this review.

A demanda e a produção da carne de frango no Brasil têm crescido significativamente nos últimos anos. Toda essa expansividade produtiva traz grandes responsabilidades às indústrias de processamento e comercialização, principalmente sobre status higiênico-sanitário, microbiológico e preservação das características organolépticas do produto. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os parâmetros físico-químicos e microbiológicos da carne de frango in natura fracionada comercializada em mercado de Jaru, Rondônia. Foram coletadas amostras de peito, coxa/sobrecoxa e coxinha da asa em três períodos (dia 1, 15 e 30). As análises físico-químicas incluíram acidez, pH, atividade de água, umidade, cinzas, lipídios e proteínas, enquanto o controle microbiológico focou na presença ou ausência de Salmonella spp. Os resultados mostraram que o peito apresentou maior teor de proteínas e umidade, com menor teor de lipídios. A coxa/sobrecoxa teve o maior pH e acidez, enquanto a coxinha da asa apresentou maior teor de lipídios. Quanto a análise microbiológica, observou-se presença de Salmonella spp. no peito de frango nas duas primeiras coletas, enquanto na terceira coleta houve ausência, isto pode estar relacionado ao menor pH e acidez. A coxa/sobrecoxa apresentou ausência na segunda coleta e presença na primeira e terceira coleta. Enquanto a coxinha da asa teve resultados positivos apenas na terceira coleta, podendo estar associado a maior umidade e menor pH. Em suma, 55.5% das amostras analisadas mostraram presença de Salmonella spp., o que pode apontar para possíveis falhas higiênico-sanitárias no momento de manipulação, armazenamento ou distribuição da carne de frango, afetando a qualidade do produto final. Isso ressalta a necessidade de melhorias em processamento e manipulação da carne comercializada in natura no município de Jaru, RO e maior fiscalização por parte dos órgãos reguladores, afim de garantir a segurança do consumidor.

O presente artigo aborda problemática do superencarceramento brasileiro trazendo a perspectiva da desigualdade material e do descumprimento das garantias fundamentais estabelecidas constitucionalmente. Outrossim, traz visão sociológica acerca da política criminal que rege a população brasileira com fulcro a desvelar a desproporcionalidade do contrato social vigente, que subjuga a sociedade sem garantir-lhe o mínimo existencial prometido. Emprega, portanto, a análise da tutelação dos bens jurídicos, da atividade legislativa e midiática em função de campanha punitivista e da disparidade de condições socio-econômicas na importância de fundamentar espécie de procedimento epistemológico-jurídico que legitima o assenhoramento das políticas sociais em detrimento do cumprir “dever-ser” humano. Para tanto, o estudo bibliográfico pautado na criminologia crítica compreende caráter dedutivo e de análise de data, atingida relevância temática no papel do dito Estado Social e na aceitação do dinamismo das políticas sociais também na aplicação dos regimes criminais, assumindo como ponto de partida o cumprimento das garantias fundamentais e do contrato civilizatório. É possível concluir, portanto, que procedimento epistemológico-jurídico enraizado nos poderes estatais brasileiros perpetuam subjugação social por meio da atuação institucionalizada não apenas dos presídios e casas de detenção, mas contam também com o a tutelação dos bens jurídicos prioritários para a classe dominante e da veiculação de política criminal de caráter punitivista, ignoradas as promessas estatais outrora consignadas.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: There are gaps in the knowledge of the relationships between facial asymmetry in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE-HS). Objective: To evaluate facial measurements and relationships with clinical variables in adults with TLE-HS. Methodology: The facial measurements of 49 patients with TLE-HS were related to clinical variables and compared to the values of individuals in the control group (CG). Results: There was a difference in the hemifaces and the labial philtrum between individuals with TLE-HS and CG. Abnormal neurological examination, number of antiseizure drugs, changes in background activity, and laterality of epileptiform activity (EA) and motor dominance were associated with facial asymmetry. A lower value of the right hemiface was associated with the left laterality of the EA. Conclusion: Facial measurement asymmetries were more frequent in TLE-HS. Facial asymmetry with lower values of the left hemiface was contralateral to EA. Minor physical anomalies in facial measurements were associated with clinical aspects of TLE-HS.

A gestação envolve diversas adaptações fisiológicas e comportamentais, sendo que o estilo de vida sedentário (EVS) pode promover complicações metabólicas, afetando diretamente a saúde materno-infantil. Em contrapartida, a prática regular de exercício físico (EF) proporciona inúmeros benefícios durante a gestação. Assim, compreender os efeitos do EF e suas diretrizes é essencial para garantir sua segurança e eficácia. Este estudo revisa a literatura sobre as adaptações fisiológicas durante a gestação, os efeitos do estilo de vida sedentário e os benefícios do EF para a saúde materno-infantil. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa que utilizou as bases Scientific Electronic Library Online, National Library of Medicine e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, com descritores em português e inglês: gestação/pregnancy, exercício/exercise, efeitos/effect, diretrizes/guideline e complicações metabólicas/metabolic complications. Durante a gestação, ocorrem mudanças em todos os sistemas fisiológicos, além de impacto na autoimagem feminina. O EVS está associado à redução do gasto energético, desequilíbrios neuroendócrinos, sobrepeso, dores osteoarticulares e complicações como diabetes gestacional e hipertensão, prejudicando a saúde materno-infantil. O EF, independentemente da modalidade, apresenta efeitos positivos, porém, modelo, volume e intensidade devem ser cuidadosamente monitorados. Com base na literatura revisada, o EF regular, aliado a orientações no pré-natal, oferece um ambiente seguro para o desenvolvimento do bem-estar gestacional, prevenindo complicações e promovendo saúde tanto para a mãe quanto para o bebê.

Published: October 2024

Preparing cost-effective and highly active catalysts for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction is crucial for developing hydrogen-based technologies. Hence, four conductive polyanilines, prepared by the environmentally-friendly approach using Fe3O4 nanoparticles/H2O2 as the catalyst/main oxidant system (PANI/Fe3O4), were investi¬gated for the first time as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic media (0.1 M H2SO4) by using voltammetry and chronoamperometry. PANI/Fe3O4 electrodes exhibited Tafel slope values in the -171 to -246 mV dec-1 range depending on the synthesis conditions ‒ Fe3O4/aniline mass ratio and polymerization time. The sample PANI/Fe3O4-II(3) prepared with shorter reaction time and higher Fe3O4/aniline mass ratio showed the best electrocatalytic behaviour reflected in the lowest onset potential (-0.286 V), the lowest overpotential to reach a current density of -10 mA cm-2, the highest current density, the lowest HER activation energy (10 kJ mol-1), and the lowest charge-transfer resistance (5.3 Ω) under HER conditions. Materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photo¬electron spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and differences in their electrocatalytic HER performance were explained by differences in their content of Fe3O4, surface and electrical properties. Moreover, the possibility of using PANI/Fe3O4-II(3) as HER electrocatalyst in a wider range of pH (i.e. in alkaline media as well) and as a bifunc¬tional electrocatalyst, i.e., for oxygen evolution reaction beside HER, was also examined.

Descrito pela primeira vez em 1983, por pesquisadores franceses no Instituto de Pasteur, o HIV (Vírus da Imunodeficiência Humana) é uma doença causada por um retrovírus, que infecta as células do sistema imunológico, mais especificamente células TCD4+, propiciando uma incapacidade do organismo hospedeiro de manter sua função imunológica normal, resultando em uma imunodepressão. Desde sua época de descobrimento até hoje é considerada uma doença de extrema importância, com um estimo feito pela Organização Mundial da Saúde de que em 2022 cerca de 38 milhões de pessoas viviam com HIV. Com a progressão das tecnologias terapêuticas, fomentou-se a terapia com antirretrovirais (TARV), que atualmente garante o controle da infecção, chegando a uma taxa de indetecção do vírus ao se utilizar a terapêutica corretamente. Entretanto, apesar da eficácia da TARV, essa modalidade não fornece a cura da doença. Assim, com o fito de alcançar a cura, os estudos com transplante de células tronco ganharam cada vez mais notoriedade. Seu mecanismo básico envolve doadores com mutações genéticas específicas que conferem resistência ao HIV, para assim alcançar a cura funcional da infecção. A principal ideia por trás dessa estratégia é a substituição de células infectadas com células imunes resistentes ao HIV, potencialmente erradicando o reservatório viral e restabelecendo uma resposta imunológica eficaz contra o vírus. Portanto, este estudo objetiva explorar as potencialidades dos transplantes de células tronco no tratamento do HIV, evidenciando como essas abordagens impulsionam a pesquisa terapêutica geral.

Authors:   Siberian State Industrial University, MATVEEV Andrey V.
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of studies of the parameters of the technology of rock mining by excavator-automobile complexes using mechanical shovels in the conditions of coal quarries of central Kuzbass. The dependence of the change in unit costs for the main processes during the development of of overburden rocks of category III and IV with mechanical shovels with an excavator bucket capacity from 6.3 to 55.8 m3 on the weighted average size of pieces of blasted rock is determined. The presented method makes it possible to optimize the parameters of excavator-automobile complexes using mechanical shovels, by establishing a rational value of the weighted average size of a piece of blasted rock, which corresponds to the minimum value of total costs and determines the corresponding parameters of all processes of the rock development technology for all types of modern excavators when used in various mining conditions of quarries. The results of the research can be useful to the technical services of quarries and designers at the decision-making stage to determine the type and quantity of mining transport and auxiliary equipment for the conditions of a particular section of the section in accordance with the established requirements for ensuring the planned volume of work.

The article presents the main classification systems of the rock massif, developed to solve the problems of the mining industry. The parameters of the rock massif that are most used in classifications are marked separately. Based on the analysis performed, a method for determining the rating of a rock mass according to the classification of Professor Dennis Laubscher (MRMR) was selected and described under the conditions of using a sublevel caving method during the development of reserves of the Plato Rasvumchorr deposit. It is shown that for the successful application of the sublevel caving method, a comprehensive account of all mining and geological factors is required and a correct calculation of a sufficient undercut area to ensure a smooth flow of the process of collapse of the overlying massif with the formation of a cavity for the release of rock mass, and an increase in the cutting sections will contribute to the development of the collapse process.

Published: October 2024

Contemporary economic growth shows a direct correlation between energy consumption and productivity. As economic development and technological advancements enhance living standards, the demand for natural resources and energy has concomitantly increased. This investigation examines the impact of climate change and green stocks on economic growth and the causal relationships among these variables in Indonesia and Malaysia over short- and long-term periods. Climate change has resulted in a downward trend in economic growth fluctuations, underscoring the necessity for green finance to mitigate the effects of climate change. The study employs the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Granger Causality test, analysing data on carbon emissions, green stocks, and gross domestic product from 2016-2022 (quarterly). The findings indicate that, in the short term, only green stocks positively influence economic growth in Indonesia and Malaysia. In the long run, climate change and green stocks positively affect economic growth in these countries. Economic growth demonstrates a unidirectional causal relationship with climate change, whereas climate change exhibits a unidirectional causal relationship with green stocks. This implies that green stock can mitigate climate change risks in Indonesia and Malaysia. It is recommended that the central bank consider implementing an environmentally sustainable financial system to promote economic growth.

Authors: Mulia Safitri Ira , Apridar Apridar , Carnegie Dawood Taufiq
Published: October 2024

Good economic growth reflects equitable income distribution and high labour absorption, leading to job creation. Addressing economic development is a government priority in Indonesia to tackle poverty, inequality, income disparity, and unemployment. This study investigates the impacts of income inequality, human development, gender development, and open unemployment on economic growth in Indonesia using panel data regression from 34 provinces (2015-2022). Data on income inequality, the human development index, the gender development index, and the open unemployment rate are from the Central Bureau of Statistics Indonesia, while economic growth data are from the SIMREG Bappenas. The results indicate that the fixed effects model is optimal. Income inequality, the human development index, and the open unemployment rate negatively and significantly affect economic growth, while the gender development index has a positive and significant effect. This study proposes that the Indonesian government should consider implementing measures to reduce income inequality through taxation policies and enhance education, healthcare, and infrastructure in remote areas.

Published: October 2024

As urban populations continue to expand, the need for efficient and sustainable metro systems has become increasingly pressing. Traditional energy management methods, while somewhat effective, often fall short in fully utilizing the potential of regenerative braking systems within metro networks. These conventional approaches, which rely heavily on centralized control and energy storage systems, encounter scalability, security, and transparency limitations. Additionally, inefficient management of energy recovery data can result in significant energy losses and higher operational costs. In response to these challenges, this study proposes a blockchain-based solution utilizing Proof-of-Work (PoW) algorithms to optimize energy recovery, particularly during electric braking in metro systems. The developed model securely and transparently validates energy recovery events in real-time, eliminating the need for centralized oversight. By customizing the PoW algorithm, we achieved a balance between computational efficiency and strong security, making this solution scalable and practical for large metro networks. Initial simulations demonstrated a 12-15% improvement in energy recovery efficiency and a 10% reduction in operational costs compared to traditional systems. Furthermore, the comparison between net energy gains and the energy expended by the PoW process highlights the transformative potential of blockchain technologies in metro transportation, offering a pathway to more sustainable and environmentally friendly urban mobility solutions.

Published: October 2024

During the COVID-19 pandemic, students worldwide faced unprecedented disruption, forcing educators to swiftly transition to remote teaching. In French universities, strong political support at both national and institutional levels facilitated the deployment of digital tools such as learning management systems (e.g., Moodle), collaborative platforms (e.g., Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom), and social networks. While this shift highlighted the importance and critical role of digital technologies in education, it also raised significant concerns about the quality of online learning, the learning process, and the assessment of knowledge and skills. This case study explores the perceptions of students at Sorbonne Paris Cite Universities regarding the effectiveness of e-learning. Results from a Multiple Correspondence Analysis indicate that system usability and its positive impact on learning are key to the perceived success of e-learning. However, university dropout rates in this context stem from a combination of factors influencing student engagement. Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive solutions involving multiple stakeholders, including organizations, educators, and learners.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: local anesthesia and computerized anesthesia via infiltrative technique have become a key component for painless dental treatments. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of computerized anesthesia compared to local anesthesia applied through the infiltrative method. Method: an electronic search for randomized clinical trials published between 2019 and 2024 was conducted in the Medline, Scopus, and Virtual Health Library databases. The search strategy used was 'Computerized anesthesia OR local anesthesia AND pain AND pediatrics.' A total of 170 articles were found, of which eight randomized clinical trials were analyzed in a qualitative synthesis, and six in a subsequent meta-analysis. Results: the results indicated that computerized anesthesia compared to local anesthesia is more effective in reducing self-perceived pain, presenting a large effect size (SMD: -1,05; 95% CI: -2,01 to -0,08). However, the few studies analyzed together with the high heterogeneity (Tau2= 1.38; Chi2= 120,76, df = 5, p < 0,001; I2 = 96 %) do not allow a complete affirmation of these findings despite that the literature has suggested better acceptance and reduction of fear of dental procedures associated with the use of syringes in the pediatric population. Conclusion: it is suggested that computerized anesthesia is more effective in reducing pain, although it is more expensive and requires more training to achieve an optimal, painless procedure that can reduce phobias associated with dental treatments.

Published: October 2024

Introduction: pressure injuries (PI) in critically ill neonates are a health problem with a negative impact on morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Knowledge and management of PI prevention by healthcare professionals are crucial for improving clinical practice. Objective: to analyze the level of knowledge, perceptions, and practices of midwives in Neonatal Critical Care Units (NCCU) regarding PI prevention. Material and Methods: a quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional study with a sample of 32 midwives from three NCCUs in the Fifth Region of Chile. The validated PREVINTLPP questionnaire was used. Results: knowledge of PI prevention was insufficient (average 64,8 % minimum 70 % to be considered adequate), with great variability in responses. Adherence to recommended clinical practice was even lower (43,5 % on average). There is awareness that PIs are a quality indicator, but 96,9 % are unaware of international guidelines for their management. Conclusions: Knowledge of PI prevention in the study sample is inadequate, possibly due to poor knowledge management. Further investigation into the causes and implementation of specialized training programs are needed to improve the quality of care and patient safety.
Co-teaching and collaborative work in inclusive educational contexts
Authors: Castro Ricardo , Sagredo-Lillo Emilio
Published: October 2024

Introduction. Interdisciplinary collaboration stands out as a key strategy for inclusive education, mediated by teamwork both inside and outside the classroom, focusing on the work of regular and special education teachers in the inclusive educational context, taking into account the mental health of the members of the school community. Co-teaching, on the other hand, involves a transformation of teaching practices to improve the learning of all students within the classroom. Objective. The purpose of the article is to describe the pedagogical experience of co-teachers from the social imaginaries of classroom teams in educational institutions in the province of Concepción, Chile. Methods. Since imaginaries are subjective aspects, they are approached from a complementary perspective, which allows for the consideration of phenomenological and hermeneutical aspects. The approach was qualitative, through a multiple case study. The information was analyzed by seeking the mobility of social imaginaries, where social coordinate maps were the tools used to visualize the shifts in emerging categories. Conclusions. The study shows a strong social force deeply rooted in the conception of inclusive education as a model imposed by regulations, with competitive and individual pedagogical practices, characterized by tense and hierarchical relationships that do not contribute to the mental health of all. At the same time, imaginaries also emerge as opacities, projecting a new school where the recognition of others is seen as a possibility for joint construction and learning, beyond the imperatives defined by official voice

Introduction: International trade is the main direction of development of international economic cooperation and formation of the world economic space. Given the relevance of the study, the purpose of the research is to identify current trends in the development of international economic relations and develop ways to improve the efficiency of international activity of European countries and the world. Methods: In the process of conducting the study, general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, generalisation, and systematisation were applied. Results: As a result of the study, the authors analysed statistical material on the development of international trade and found that modern international economic relations are primarily implemented through international trade. It is stated that only 3 countries today control almost a third of the total international market, while the rest of the countries should focus on developing and implementing strategies for developing trade potential. Conclusions: The authors propose three main strategies for enhancing a country's position in the international market and provides a description of each of them: a strategy of financial support for accelerated growth of presence in the international market; a strategy for ensuring sustainable economic growth; and an anti-crisis strategy for promoting the world market. It is proved that for most modern countries of Europe and the world it is possible to focus on ensuring the development of domestic production potential and developing a presence in international markets, provided that they follow global trends.
Research on the Transparency of Civil and Commercial Arbitration from the Perspective of Generative Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Deng Wenxi
Published: October 2024

The emergence of GPT marks a significant progress in natural language processing in the field of generative artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has great application potential and value in legal retrieval, document review and production, arbitrator selection, and auxiliary arbitration decision-making. However, there is a contradiction between the development of artificial intelligence and the principle of arbitration confidentiality. Training a more accurate artificial intelligence model requires a large amount of diverse data, while the confidentiality of arbitration limits the acquisition and sharing of data. Therefore, in order to give full play to the potential of artificial intelligence, it is necessary to gradually increase the transparency of arbitration and achieve a balance between arbitration confidentiality and transparency through reasonable institutional design and legal norms.

Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) thin film was decorated with copper metal (Cu) by the simple electrochemical deposition method. This study was motivated to improve the role of Cu as a co-catalyst due to the narrow band gap energy of known photocatalyst Cu2O. Cu was electrodeposited on Cu2O thin film with a substrate of indium tin oxide (ITO) at a voltage of -0.3V and a temperature of 60 °C in CuSO4 (pH 10) under a magnetic stirrer. The structure, phase, and morphology of Cu2O/Cu were characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The electrocatalytic performance of Cu2O/Cu was recorded using linear sweep voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. XRD and SEM results show Cu was successfully deposited covering Cu2O. The current density of Cu2O/Cu increased by 2.7041 mA/cm2 confirming the lower charge current resistance of 2.48 kΩ. The Cu-decorated Cu2O demonstrated an improved photocatalytic activity, as shown by the increase of MB degradation from 46.33% to 50.87%. It was believed from characterisations that Cu deposition leads to more dense carriers and charge transfer, hence higher photocatalytic activity towards MB degradation than bare Cu2O thin film.

The development of Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell (DEFC) has attracted much attention, as alternative energy sources due to its various advantages. However, among its various advantages, DEFC has several problems, such as the kinetics of the ethanol oxidation reaction. Transition metal-based catalysts such as nickel and tin are considered as potential catalysts for DEFC due to their oxophilic properties that can improve catalytic activity. In this study, the effect of saccharin on SnNi bimetallic alloy catalyst synthesized by electrodeposition method on copper wire substrate was investigated. SnNi samples were characterized by several techniques, including X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, and energi dispersive X-ray spectrocopy. Saccharin addition had a significant effect on the morphology, crystallite size, and composition of the catalyst. The presence of saccharin causes the formation of more uniform particles and has a smaller size. The sample with the addition of saccharin had a smaller charge transfer resistance value 4.82 Ω, lower tafel slope by 115 mV/dec, and show higher jf/jb ratio by 0.55.  Furthermore, as the current density decreases, the SnNi catalyst with saccharin has a slow decrease rate and higher stability than the SnNi catalyst without saccharin.

Velika postignuća u oblasti prirodnih nauka omogućila su izuzetno brz razvoj tehnologija i metoda za proučavanje mikroorganizama, njihovih genoma, fiziologije, ekologije, međusobne interakcije i interakcije sa drugim jednoćelijskim i višećelijskim živim bićima. Nove metode iz oblasti molekularne biologije, genetike, genetskog inženjeringa, genomike i metagenomike postale su neizostavne u istraživačkim laboratorijama. Ove tehnologije omogućile su upotrebu mikroorganizama kao značajnog resursa u različitim sektorima, uključujući: medicinu, biotehnologiju, farmaciju, prehrambenu industriju, poljoprivredu, ekologiju i energetiku. Zahvaljujući inovacijama u mikrobiologiji došlo je do razvoja novih tipova vakcina i lijekova; u poljoprivredi je povećana otpornost biljaka na štetočine i niske temperature; u proizvodnji energije smanjuje se ovisnost o fosilnim gorivima; u ekologiji se kreiraju mikroorganizmi za razgradnju teško razgradivog otpada itd. S druge strane korištenje novih genetičkih metoda za uređivanje genoma mikroorganizma može dovesti do neželjenih i neočekivanih rezultata te postati biološka prijetnja za ljude i ekosistem. Neke od opasnosti uključuju nastanak: neselektivnih genetskih promjena među patogenim mikroorganizmima, što predstavlja rizik za ljudsko zdravlje i okolinu; neželjenih promjena u ekosistemu; gubitak bioraznolikosti; rizik od zloupotrebe genetski modifikovanih mikroorganizama u bioterorizmu itd. Postojeće prijetnje od posljedica uređivanja gena naglašavaju potrebu za etičkim i sigurnosnim smjernicama u korištenju genetskih metoda kako bi se minimizirali rizici i osiguralo odgovorno raspolaganje mikroorganizmima. Etičke i moralne dileme su vezane kako za posljedice genske manipulacije tako i za sigurnost podataka, ali i pravednu distribuciju i raspodjelu koristi proizašle iz primjene inovacija, kako lokalno, tako i globalno. U cilju rješavanja ovih izazova, ali i što efektnije primjene naučnih postignuća u društvu, Evropska unija (EU) je kreirala okvir sa smjernicama koji se naziva Odgovorna istraživanja i inovacije (Responsible Research and Innovation – RRI). Smjernice iz ovog okvira su razrađene kroz niz inicijativa i projekata Evropske unije i postoji mnoštvo resursa koji se mogu koristiti kako za uspješnu inicijaciju i provođenje naučnih istraživanja tako i za njihovu odgovornu primjenu i integraciju u cjelokupno društvo.
Siromaštvo i prehrana s aspekta morala i proizvodnih potencijala suvremenog društva
Authors: Jašić Midhat
Published: October 2024

Siromaštvo je povezano s nedostatkom hrane, što utječe na pothranjenost siromašne populacije. Pothranjenost i siromaštvo međusobno se jačaju, a etička pitanja uključuju globalna donošenja odluka o potrebama osiguranja pravednije raspodjele dobara, te time i esencijalnih hranjivih sastojaka za sve ljude na planeti Zemlji. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati korelaciju između siromaštva i prehrane s aspekta morala i proizvodnih potencijala suvremenog društva. Siromaštvo može imati značajan utjecaj na etiku i moral ljudi. Za razliku od bogatijeg društva, siromašni u svakodnevnim prioritetima daju akcenat preživljavanju, koje se često postavlja nad etičkim vrijednostima. Posljedice siromaštva su raznovrsne, a nedostaci hrane i esencijalnih nutrijenata mogu dovesti do raznih zdravstvenih problema. S aspekta etike posljedice izbora i raspodjele hrane imaju ogroman utjecaj na: zdravlje i kvalitetu života ljudi, izrabljivačku proizvodnu praksu, nehumano postupanje sa životinjama i posebno na okoliš. Siromaštvo često narušava moralne vrijednosti ljudi, jer im nerijetko očaj daje poticaj da budu nemoralni, pa je to posebno značajno etičko pitanje, za koje je uvijek potrebno identificirati konkretna racionalna rješenja. S aspekta društvene sredine gdje siromaštvo nastaje i njegove veličine, postoji definirano apsolutno i relativno siromaštvo. Apsolutno siromaštvo ili neimaština odnosi se na nedostatak osnovnih ljudskih potreba, što obično uključuje: hranu, vodu, sanitarije, odjeću, stanovanje, zdravstvenu skrb i obrazovanje. Relativno siromaštvo je kontekstualno definirano kao ekonomska nejednakost u mjestu ili društvu u kojem ljudi žive i često je prisutno u razvijenim društvima. Kod obje kategorije siromaštva postoji izražen nedostatak svakodnevnog unosa esencijalnih nutrijenata. Uzroci siromaštva i gladi nisu nedostaci prirodnih resursa ili previše ljudi na planeti Zemlji. Rezultati procjena pokazuju da su prirodni resursi mnogo veći nego potrebe za hranom. Trećina svijeta raspolaže znatnim viškom hrane i uživa u prekomjernom trošenju novaca na manje bitne i stvari kao što je moda, a druge dvije trećine ima manjak hranjivih tvari pa su kod njih često prisutne bolesti, a posebno malnutricija i pothranjenost. Potrebno je snažnije otvoriti filozofsko-socijalne i ekonomske perspektive etičkog tretmana siromaštva i njegovog utjecaja na prehranu i zdravlje stanovništva. To podrazumijeva institucionalna rješenja i moralnu obavezu da se svima osigura dostupnost zdrave hrane i savremene dijetetske prakse, dostupnost održivog zaposlenja i zdravog okruženja.
