A IMPORTÂNCIA DA INTERVENÇÃO DO ESTADO NA ECONOMIA BRASILEIRA DURANTE A PANDEMIA DO COVID-19
Authors: Brito Matheus Ribeiro , Tavares Gilvan
Published: May 2023

Durante as crises econômicas, o Estado, por muitas vezes, acabou intervindo no mercado, possibilitando a revitalização desse mercado e o reequilíbrio social. O presente artigo, pretende discutir a importância da intervenção do Estado na economia brasileira durante a pandemia do Covid-19, realizando uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. E nesse processo investigatório, foi percebido, através de um comparativo, que tanto na crise do café que ocorreu por volta de 1929, quanto na pandemia do Covid-19, a intervenção estatal foi decisiva, oportuna e relevante para a restauração da ordem econômica e da sociedade, constatando-se que a atual intervenção só foi possível, porque o Brasil, em sua Constituição Federal de 88, traz mandamentos que estabelecem situações em que o Estado tem permissão de intervir no mercado, podendo essa intervenção ocorrer de forma direta ou indireta, conforme a decisão de se estabelecer um regime econômico de Estado Regulador. Lembrando que esse tipo de economia reguladora tem forte influência da Teoria Keynesiana que é uma escola política e econômica que defende a intervenção do Estado na organização econômica de uma Nação. Assim, por mais que o mercado econômico brasileiro, seja definido pela Constituição como de livre concorrência e livre iniciativa, a intervenção estatal, foi autorizada, é presente, e foi de grande relevância durante o período de pandemia, pois, com as políticas públicas aplicadas, possibilitou à sociedade superar a tragédia e recompor o seu modo de produção.
Improved counting statistics of an ultrafine differential mobility particle size spectrometer system

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Differential mobility particle size spectrometers (DMPSs)
are widely used to measure the aerosol number size distribution. Especially
during new particle formation (NPF), the dynamics of the ultrafine
size distribution determine the significance of the newly formed particles
within the atmospheric system. A precision quantification of the
size distribution and derived quantities such as new particle formation and
growth rates is therefore essential. However, size-distribution measurements in the sub-10 nm range suffer from high particle losses and are often derived from only a few counts in the DMPS system, making them subject to very high counting uncertainties. Here we show that a CPC (modified Airmodus A20) with a significantly higher aerosol optics flow rate compared to
conventional ultrafine CPCs can greatly enhance the counting statistics in
that size range. Using Monte Carlo uncertainty estimates, we show that the
uncertainties of the derived formation and growth rates can be reduced from
10 %–20 % down to 1 % by deployment of the high statistics CPC on a strong NPF event day. For weaker events and hence lower number concentrations, the counting statistics can result in a complete breakdown of the growth rate estimate with relative uncertainties as high as 40 %, while the improved
DMPS still provides reasonable results at 10 % relative accuracy. In
addition, we show that other sources of uncertainty are present in CPC
measurements, which might become more important when the uncertainty from
the counting statistics is less dominant. Altogether, our study shows that
the analysis of NPF events could be greatly improved by the availability of
higher counting statistics in the used aerosol detector of DMPS systems.

Abstract. The global retreat of alpine glaciers provides visible evidence of industrial-era warming, but how glacier position today compares to glacier length fluctuations over the Holocene is less clear. Glaciers in North America advanced over the Holocene, occupying their maximum Holocene position in the late 19th century before rapidly retreating to their sizes today. We assess when four North American glaciers, located between 38–60° N, were larger or smaller than their modern (2018–2020 CE) sizes during the Holocene. We measure 26 paired cosmogenic in situ 14C and 10Be concentrations in recently exposed proglacial bedrock and applied a Monte Carlo forward model to reconstruct plausible bedrock exposure-burial histories. We find that these glaciers advanced past their modern sizes thousands of years apart during the Holocene: a glacier in the Juneau Ice Field (BC, Canada) by ~2 ka, Kokanee Glacier (BC, Canada) at ~6 ka, and Mammoth Glacier (WY, USA) at ~1 ka; the fourth glacier, Conness Glacier (CA, USA), was larger than its modern size for the duration of the Holocene until present. The disparate Holocene exposure-burial histories are at odds with expectations of similar glacier histories given the presumed shared climate forcings of decreasing Northern Hemisphere summer insolation through the Holocene followed by global greenhouse gas forcing in the industrial era. We interpret the range in histories to be the result of unequal amounts of modern retreat relative to each glacier’s Holocene length history, rather than asynchronous Holocene advance histories. The intensity and rate of modern warming has exacerbated length differences between glaciers that occur due to hypsometry and response time. We hypothesize that highly varying magnitudes of glacier change in North America today is a departure from similar magnitudes of glacier change over the Holocene.
Ten years of 1 Hz solar irradiance observations at Cabauw, the Netherlands, with cloud observations, variability classifications, and statistics
Authors: Mol Wouter B. , Knap Wouter H. , van Heerwaarden Chiel C.
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Surface solar irradiance varies on scales down to seconds, and detailed long-term observational datasets of this variable are rare but in high demand.
Here, we present an observational dataset of global, direct, and diffuse solar irradiance sampled at 1 Hz as well as fully resolved variability until at least 0.1 Hz over a period of 10 years from the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) station at Cabauw, the Netherlands.
The dataset is complemented with irradiance variability classifications, clear-sky irradiance and aerosol reanalysis, information about the solar position, observations of clouds and sky type, and wind measurements up to 200 m above ground level.
Statistics of variability derived from all time series include approximately 185 000 detected events of both cloud enhancement and cloud shadows.
Additional observations from the Cabauw measurement site are freely available from the open-data platform of the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute.
This paper describes the observational site, quality control, classification algorithm with validation, and the processing method of complementary products.
Additionally, we discuss and showcase (potential) applications, including limitations due to sensor response time.
These observations and derived statistics provide detailed information to aid research into how clouds and atmospheric composition influence solar irradiance variability as well as information to help validate models that are starting to resolve variability at higher fidelity.
The main datasets are available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7093164 (Knap and Mol, 2022) and https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7462362 (Mol et al., 2022); the reader is referred to the “Code and data availability” section of this paper for the complete list.

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Biocrust is a key component of ecosystems and plays a vital role in altering hydrological processes in terrestrial ecosystems. The role of biocrust on hydrological properties in arid and semi-arid ecosystems has been widely documented; however, the effects and mechanisms of biocrust on soil hydrological properties in alpine ecosystems are still poorly understood. In this study, we selected two meadow types from the northern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau: normal Kobresia meadow (NM) and biocrust meadow (BM). Both the soil hydrological and physicochemical properties were examined. We found that in the 0–30 cm soil layer, soil water retention and soil water content in NM were higher than those in BM, whereas the 30–40 cm layer’s soil water retention and soil water content in NM were lower than those in BM. The topsoil infiltration rate in BM was lower than that in NM. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties were different between NM and BM. The 0–10 cm soil layer’s clay content in BM was 9 % higher than that in NM, whereas the 0–30 cm layer’s soil capillary porosity in NM was higher than that in BM. In addition, the 0–20 cm layer’s soil total nitrogen (TN) and soil organic matter (SOM) in NM were higher than those in BM, implying that the presence of biocrust did not favor the formation of soil nutrients owing to its lower soil microbial biomass carbon and microbial biomass nitrogen. Overall, soil water retention was determined by SOM by altering soil capillary porosity and bulk density. Our findings revealed that the establishment of biocrust did not improve soil water retention and infiltration, which may be more vulnerable to runoff generation and consequent soil erosion in biocrust meadows. These results provide a systematic and comprehensive understanding of the role of biocrust in the soil hydrology of alpine ecosystems.
DEVELOPING A THEORETICAL ASSESSMENT METHOD FOR AN ASSISTED DIRECT GEOREFERENCING APPROACH TO IMPROVE ACCURACY WHEN MAPPING OVER WATER: THE CONCEPT, POTENTIAL AND LIMITATIONS

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Drones offer a a unique survey platform that can operate below cloud cover and acquire very high spatial resolution datasets in near real-time. Studies have demonstrated that drones can be used for mapping over water using the Direct Georeferencing approach. However, this method is typically only feasible with high-end drones equipped with highly accurate GNSS/IMU systems. Moreover, placing targets over water to improve accuracy in post-processing can be challenging, further exacerbating this limitation. In this study, we developed an Assisted Direct Georeferencing method which combines the advantages of traditional Bundle Adjustment (BA) and Direct Georeferencing to overcome these challenges. Our approach utilizes BA over feature-rich segments of the drone trajectory, such as the shoreline, and DG in featureless areas, such as over water. To simulate a water-type environment or surface for our early tests, synthetic datasets have been created using Python for theoretical analysis. We then conducted a theoretical assessment of our approach under low and high variability attitude measurements. Our findings revealed that our methodology performs well under low variability attitude measurements, where wind conditions are close to optimal with an R-square value of 0.93. However, our model performs poorly under high variability attitude measurements, with an R-square value of only 0.028. These results suggest that Assisted Direct Georeferencing can serve as an alternative to high-end drones and Direct Georeferencing for water mapping applications in most standard. The findings from this theoretical assessment provide valuable insights into the achievable accuracy, error budgets, and limitations of the proposed model.
A REVIEW AND TEST OF SHORELINE EXTRACTION TECHNIQUES

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Shoreline represents the boundary between land and sea, and its accurate extraction is of utmost importance because of the economic and ecological value of coastal areas. Nowadays, satellite remote sensing is widely used for monitoring the natural environment. Indeed, satellite remote sensing data are cost-effective and periodically available over large areas at a relatively high spatial resolution. Hence, the automatic shoreline extraction from satellite images is a fundamental task for coastal monitoring and management. Shoreline extraction methods are usually applied to satellite remote sensing data. The goal of this study is to compare the performance of different shoreline extraction methods, such as thresholding and more complex classification approaches, such as Random Forest (RF), Minimum Distance (MD), Maximum Likelihood (ML) and K-means, using both optical and radar images. The considered case study area is the shallow basin of the Orbetello Lagoon and one of its ayre called Feniglia. The data supplier is the Copernicus program, which, through the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 missions, provides medium-resolution, open-access products. The accuracy of the obtained results from both methodologies is checked by validating the extracted shoreline using an aerial orthomosaic and, subsequently, a manually extracted shoreline. A preliminary accuracy assessment was performed for image classification, focusing on extracting four classes: water, soil, urban, and forest, using manual segmentation as a reference. In terms of deviation from the reference shoreline, the results obtained through the analysed methodologies achieved an accuracy of 3.75 m, less than half of the pixel size of the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 used products.

Abstract. In recent years, most people use commercial integrated navigation systems to develop navigation algorithms. However, due to the different levels of sensors on the market, it is difficult to customize commercial systems and leads to limited development of navigation algorithms. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop a real-time integrated navigation system EGI-1000 (Embedded GNSS and INS) including software and hardware, and effectively reduce the cost with the commercial price. The real-time integrated navigation system EGI-1000 contains a navigation-grade IMU, IMU1000 and NovAtel OEM 7720 GNSS receiver module. In this research, the integration process can be divided into three parts. The first part is the integration of hardware, and the architecture diagram of the real-time integrated navigation system will be displayed. The second part is the pre-processing of data. In the multi-sensor time synchronization problem, this research will propose a method about cross-correlation to validate whether the timestamp of IMU data is delay. The last part is algorithm about fusing data from multiple sensors and motion constraints. Extended Kaman Filter (EKF) will be the core and motion constraints including Zero Velocity Update (ZUPT) and Non-Holonomic Constraints (NHC) are integrated in the Loosely Coupled (LC) scheme. The calibration of Inertial navigation Measurement Unit (IMU) will also be conducted to determine the parameter in algorithm. The results of the experiments will be shown in this paper. Both of hardware and navigation algorithm in the integrated navigation system of this research are used to conduct multiple experiment including open sky environments, GNSS challenging environments, and GNSS denied environment. In comparison with the reference data, the navigation accuracy of the developed integrated navigation system can achieve centimeter-level accuracy (“Active Control” level and “Where in lane” level) in open sky and GNSS challenging environments. According to the propagation error theory, the result in GNSS denied environment also meet the expected value. The navigation algorithm is also feasible for the commercial integrated navigation system.

Published: May 2023

Abstract. Precise and robust localization is critical for many navigation tasks, especially autonomous driving systems. The most popular localization approach is global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). However, it has several shortcomings such as multipath and nonline- of-sight reception. Vision-based localization is one of the approaches without using GNSS which is based on vision. This paper used visual localization with a prior 3D LiDAR map. Compared to common methods for visual localization using camera-acquired maps, this paper used the method that tracks the image feature and poses of a monocular camera to match with prior 3D LiDAR maps. This paper reconstructs the image feature to several sets of 3D points by a local bundle adjustment-based visual odometry system. Those 3D points matched with the prior 3D point cloud map to track the globe pose of the user. The visual localization approach has several advantages. (1) Since it only relies on matching geometry, it is robust to changes in ambient luminosity appearance. (2) Also, it uses the prior 3D map to provide viewpoint invariance. Moreover, the proposed method only requires users to use low-cost and lightweight camera sensors.
EXPLOITING POLE-LIKE OBJECTS FROM CADASTRES FOR SUB-METRE ACCURATE INTEGRATED GEOREFERENCING OF LOW-COST MOBILE MAPPING SYSTEMS
Authors: Meyer J. , Nebiker S. , Schürmann S. , Ferrari E. , Ammann M.
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Accurately georeferenced data acquired using mobile mapping systems is of great importance for many geospatial applications. The accuracy of direct georeferencing – the standard procedure in the field of outdoor mobile mapping – strongly relies on GNSS reception and therefore varies greatly depending on the environment. By incorporating control point observations, integrated georeferencing enables homogenous accuracy and reliability over the whole mapping perimeter. Unfortunately, exact measurement and documentation of control points is needed, which often must be done manually. To automate this process, approaches from the field of autonomous vehicles use pole-like objects to support localization in complex urban environments, with the disadvantage of requiring a prior mapping campaign. However, various classes of pole-like objects have been recorded with accurate location and entered in public cadastres, so they could serve as 2D control points. In this paper, we present an approach for improving the trajectory accuracy in challenging urban environments by means of integrated georeferencing. It uses range image observations to pole-like objects from publicly available cadastres. Our approach achieves sub-metre accuracy, with a maximal cross-track difference of 98 cm, using real-world data acquired with our low-cost mobile mapping system. We further demonstrate that it significantly improves discontinuities and inaccuracy peaks in direct georeferencing and that the limiting factors are errors in the depth estimation of available range imaging sensors.

Published: May 2023

Abstract. This paper proposes a voxel-based approach for creating a digital twin of an urban environment that is capable of efficiently managing smart spaces. The paper explains the registration and localization procedure of the point cloud dataset, which uses the KISS ICP for scan point cloud combination and the RANSAC method for the initial alignment of the combined point cloud. The mobile mapping point cloud using Riegl VMX-250 serves as the reference map, and Velodyne scans are used for localization purposes. The point-to-plane iterative closest-point method is then employed to refine the alignment. The paper evaluates the efficacy of the proposed method by calculating the errors between the estimated and ground truth positions. The results indicate that the voxel-based approach is capable of accurately estimating the position of the sensor platform, which are applicable for various use cases. A specific use case in the context is smart parking space management, which is described and initial visualization results are shown.

Abstract. The shallow landslides constitute a consistent current hazard that could increase in the future, especially in the Mediterranean areas. Regional scale hazard maps involving runout estimation are not yet particularly widespread. The study was conducted with the aim of testing a debris flows risk assessment process starting from the runout analysis of a debris flows dataset triggered by the event of October 1, 2009.Preliminary results highlight how the procedure permit to produce a runout hazard assessment in the valley areas where the more important and vulnerable exposed elements are situated. Despite the obvious limitations, the process appears particularly useful to address the public administration demand for simple tools to manage and direct regional planning.

Abstract. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are increasingly used in different applications, including 3D urban modelling, cadastral mapping, urban planning, GIS information system and other fields because of their advantages. As a consequence, UAS equipment is constantly developed to provide more accurate results in a more reliable mode. This paper aims to evaluate the performances of a low-cost UAS system, namely DJI Phantom 4 Pro v2 equipped with a TeoKIT GNSS PPK (post-processing kinematic) module for cadastral mapping purposes. Two fights (oblique and nadir) over a residential area at 60 m height were performed and some 100 ground points were used to derive RMSE accuracies. Comparison between GNSS-aided with PPK processing and indirect georeferencing processes are performed. Given a mobile laser scanner (MLS) point cloud as ground truth, comparison with UAS point clouds and manually digitized features are also performed and reported.
ASSESSING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TREE DIMENSIONS IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Scarmana G. , McDougall K.
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Urban forests can provide vital environmental and social functions if appropriately planned and managed. Tree inventory and tree dimensions are an important part of evaluating and monitoring the growth, size and health condition of urban trees. Accordingly, crown diameter (cd), height (h) and diameter at breast height (dbh) are significant biometric descriptors of tree size and bulk.When making decisions regarding urban environments it is important to be able to properly estimate these descriptors which are also needed to evaluate for example the so-called zones of upheaval (i.e., areas of interaction between roots and hard surfaces) and soil volume needs for planting trees in urban areas as well as for estimating their growth, control of diseases and preservation requirements.In line with the above, the scope of this contribution is that of assessing the relationship (via direct field measurements and regression analysis) that exists between the dbh of a given tree species relative to its h and cd. This information can be of assistance when substantiating tree measurements determined via existing mobile mapping technology systems.One hundred and three mature Norfolk Island pine trees (Araucaria heterophilla) located along a tourist shoreline of the Gold Coast (Queensland, Australia) were selected for this work. Their h, cd and dbh were individually measured, processed, and mapped in terms of their coordinate locations (i.e., latitude and longitude). Tree data was captured via field surveys using a diameter tape for dbh, and a laser range finder for measuring tree h and cd. A GNSS enabled digital camera was used to collect pictorial information and location description.For the case study investigated here, the regression models of h=F(dbh) and cd=F(dbh) reasonably validated (R2=0.928 and R2=0.899 respectively) the Australian standard estimates of h and cd of ornamental trees based on their dbh, thus making these estimates easier to determine via simplified mathematical functions. This is because the dbh is easier to be measured accurately in the field as compared to h and cd, and it can also provide information regarding the biomass, volume and carbon storage of trees.
INTEGRATION OF TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNING AND SMARTPHONE LIDAR: THE CASE STUDY OF LIDZBARK CASTLE

Published: May 2023

Abstract. In many cases, archaeological research allows to explain the history and evolution of heritage buildings. To support these studies, the availability of reliable 3D representations of such buildings has already been shown to be of remarkable importance. Thanks to the development of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and close-range photogrammetric techniques, the generation of such 3D representations by means of remote sensing techniques has become quite common nowadays. While TLS can still be considered as the state-of-the-art method for generating accurate building geometric models, acquisition methods based on the use of mobile devices is becoming a quite attractive solution in order to speed up the survey while also enabling an easier data acquisition on certain narrow places. Despite a plethora of mobile mapping tools is currently available on the market, smartphones are clearly the most widely used smart mobile device in the world, being an ideal solution in terms of usability, portability, and spread. Motivated by this observation and by the recent availability of smartphones provided with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, this paper aims at investigating the effectiveness of the integration of traditional TLS with smartphone LiDAR on the survey of the castle in Lidzbark Warminski, which dates back to the mid-fourteenth century. TLS, with the scanner set on a standard tripod, was used to scan easily accessible places. TLS mounted on a dedicated tripod, patented by the co-authors of the project was used for less easy-to-reach places. Finally, smartphone LiDAR enabled 3D data acquisition on very hard-to-reach locations, e.g. excavation areas. The model obtained by integrating the data acquired by all the considered methods allowed to properly describe all the area of interest of the castle, being usable for the technical documentation of such historic building. The obtained model significantly advanced the state of knowledge about the castle in Lidzbark Warminski. As a result of the work, many traces of the history of the complex were discovered, proving its gradual evolution.
FUELING GLOCAL: OPTIMIZATION-BASED PATH PLANNING FOR INDOOR UAVS IN AN AUTONOMOUS EXPLORATION FRAMEWORK
Authors: Cella M. , d’Apolito F. , Fanta-Jende P. , Sulzbachner C.
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Exploration is a fundamental problem in robotics that requires robots to navigate through unknown environments to autonomously gather information about their surroundings while executing collision-free paths. In this paper, we propose a method for producing smooth paths during the exploration process in indoor environments using UAVs to improve battery efficiency and enhance the quality of pose estimation. The developed framework is built by merging two approaches that represent the state of the art in the field of autonomous exploration with UAVs. The overall exploration logic is given by GLocal, a paper that introduces an hybrid, i.e. both sampling-based and frontier-based, framework that is able to cope with the issue of odometry drift when exploring indoor environments due to the absence of absolute localization, e.g. through GNSS. The second paper is FUEL, which introduces a frontier-based exploration methodology which computes the drone’s path as an optimized non-uniform B-Spline. The framework described in this paper borrows the optimized B-Spline trajectory generation from FUEL and implements it in GLocal. The presented system is evaluated in two different simulated environments, which show the pros and the cons of such method.

La inclusión social debe ser un eje rector en los museos desde todas sus aristas de accesibilidad, diversidad y equidad que aún no han alcanzado un nivel de desarrollo e implementación adecuado. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar en qué aspectos se manifiesta la noción de inclusión social en los museos de arte chilenos para determinar el papel que este concepto posee en su misión institucional y sus prácticas educativas, así como conocer qué entienden por inclusión social. Para ello, se trabaja desde un enfoque de análisis cualitativo deductivo que nos permite identificar los factores de inclusión más presentes a través del análisis de sus documentos institucionales organizativos y educativos. Para el análisis se utilizó una pauta con cinco categorías preestablecidas: (1) orientación de museo al público, (2) tipo de público, (3) accesibilidad del museo, (4) equidad y diversidad del equipo y (5) enfoque educativo. Los resultados revelaron que los museos entienden y abordan el concepto de inclusión desde un enfoque reduccionista, principalmente referido a la atención de públicos. Estos resultados subrayan la necesidad de continuar definiendo y formando a las instituciones y sus equipos respecto a la polivocalidad, la educación activa, y a la equidad y diversidad.

A percepção do agricultor familiar sobre solos e agroecologia: estudo de caso em Boa Vista-PB.
Authors:   , Marinho Leite Falcão Breno
Published: May 2023

A Agroecologia é uma ciência ainda em construção e as práticas de conservação do solo são igualmente pouco conhecidas por grande parte dos agricultores familiares. Considerando-se que cada indivíduo percebe, reage e responde diferentemente às ações sobre o ambiente em que vive, compreende-se a importância de conhecer as formas e visões que os agricultores tem do solo, através de sua percepção de convívio e uso deste recurso natural. Além disso, para o agricultor adotar na sua rotina as orientações dos princípios da Agroecologia no manejo sustentável do solo, é fundamental que este expresse seus saberes, para que, somados ao conhecimento científico, possam estabelecer o uso sustentável dos recursos edáficos, visando ao equilíbrio ambiental e a segurança alimentar. O objetivo da pesquisa foi conhecer a percepção dos agricultores familiares de duas comunidades rurais, Caluête e Bravo do município de Boa Vista – PB, sobre o solo e a Agroecologia, através de um questionário semi estruturado com 20 questões que abordaram o uso, as práticas de degradação e de conservação do solo, para 40 agricultores das duas comunidades. Os resultados indicam que os agricultores das duas comunidades conhecem o que é degradação e erosão do solo, as atividades impactantes da qualidade do solo, mas que não conseguem expressar uma visão do que seja Agroecologia, pois suas práticas não coadunam com os postulados dessa ciência, o que expressa a necessidade da intervenção extensionista e do poder público para aprimorar os diálogos sobre a transição agroecológica na região e fortalecer a preservação dos recursos naturais.

Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar a variabilidade do componente vegetacional considerando os processos de sucessão ecológica em uma área de Caatinga no Semiárido Paraibano. O trabalho foi realizado no Espaço Experimental Reservado para Estudos de Ecologia e Dinâmica da Caatinga – Área I do Laboratório de Ecologia e Botânica – LAEB/CDSA/UFCG (7°39’38.8’’ S e 36°53’42.4’’ W; 538 m de altitude). Neste espaço foram implantadas, para o acompanhamento da evolução da sucessão ecológica, 17 parcelas de 1x1 m. Na área selecionada foram registrados nos 404 monitoramentos (período de 01/01/2013 à 31/07/2015) 7.657 indivíduos distribuídos em 32 espécies (29 espécies herbáceas e três pertencentes ao componente arbustivo-arbóreo). Os picos de germinação para espécies e indivíduos foram variáveis em relação ao tempo e a precipitação. Particularmente na avaliação da dinâmica sucessional do componente arbustivo e arbóreo, surgiram no sistema monitorado: Jatropha mollissima (Pohl) Baill., Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.) L. P. Queiroz e Croton blanchetianus Baill. As espécies ficaram representadas por três, um e 35 indivíduos respectivamente. Considerando os indivíduos registrados do estrato arbustivo e arbóreo, verificou-se que todos eles morreram nas parcelas monitoradas. Portanto, os dados gerados se mostram de grande importância para o entendimento dos elementos que definem a dinâmica sucessional do componente vegetacional, ofertando subsídios para a restauração de ecossistemas degradados.

O conhecimento sobre a formação de frutos e sementes de espécies nativas é considerada uma ferramenta importante para um melhor entendimento da dinâmica da Caatinga, como também de sua biologia e ecologia, para no futuro possibilitar o manejo e a conservação de populações naturais. Assim, há necessidade de se dispor do maior número de dados e informações sobre o ciclo biológico das espécies nativas. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do trabalho foi estudar a maturação fisiológica de frutos e sementes de catingueira (Poincianella pyramidalis (Tul.) L.P. Queiroz), previamente selecionadas na região do Cariri Paraibano. A pesquisa de campo foi conduzida na Área Experimental reservada para estudo de ecologia e dinâmica da caatinga, localizada na Universidade Federal de Campina Grande no Centro de Desenvolvimento Sustentável do Semiárido, Campus de Sumé-PB. A fase de laboratorial foi realizada no Laboratório de Ecologia e Botânica/Viveiro (CDSA/UFCG). As coletas se iniciaram aos 15 dias após a antese (DAA) e se estenderam até os 150 DAA, sendo avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: a coloração, o teor de água das sementes, como também a qualidade fisiológica. De acordo com os dados obtidos constatou-se que a maturidade fisiológica das sementes ocorreu aos 120 dias após a antese, uma vez que a partir deste período ocorreram máximos valores de emergência e vigor.

A ovinocultura no cenário atual se apresenta como uma atividade promissora na região Nordeste. A raça Dorper mostra-se como uma ótima opção para exploração, tendo em vista sua alta rusticidade e adaptabilidade a regiões áridas, além da sua boa conformação de carcaça, alta taxa de crescimento e de Ganho de Peso Médio Diário (GPMD). Sendo assim, objetivou-se com este trabalho acompanhar o desenvolvimento de ovinos desmamados e avaliar o Ganho de Peso Médio Diário (GPMD) em função do semiconfinamento e do tipo de parto. Foram utilizados 12 ovinos PO da raça Dorper não castrados e com idade entre 2 e 4 meses. Os animais eram submetidos a sistema de criação semi-intensivo, onde passavam o dia no pasto e a tarde eram confinados em uma baia onde lhes era oferecido volumoso e concentrado. Os ovinos foram pesados a cada 8 dias durante 4 semanas e iniciaram o experimento com peso médio de 33,66 kg e finalizaram com peso médio de 36 kg. De forma geral, todos os animais apresentaram um bom Ganho de Peso Médio Diário (GPMD), isto se deu em consequência do sistema de semiconfinamento que se apresentou como uma boa técnica a ser utilizada na região. Os ovinos que nasceram através de parto simples apresentaram melhor desempenho em relação aos borregos que nasceram por parto múltiplo, isto pode ser entendido pela competição nutricional que existe entre os animais de parto múltiplo. Ainda no fator idade, foi observado diferença no GPMD e no Ganho de Peso Total (GPT) dos animais.

O Brasil é um país com grande extensão territorial. De norte ao sul encontra-se uma grande variedade de climas com distintas características regionais, ou seja, diferenciados regimes de precipitação e temperatura. Na Região Nordeste a estação chuvosa tem baixos índices pluviométricos, distribuídos em poucos meses, caracterizando um clima semiárido que se estende por todos os estados nordestino. Esta região tem como característica um clima tropical seco, com precipitação média anual em torno de 700 mm, temperatura média do ar situada, em geral, entre 20 °C á 38 °C com variações para baixo ou para cima da média. A região semiárida, apresenta uma estação úmida ou chuvosa de 4 a 6 meses, no qual as pastagens são abundantes e de boa qualidade nutritiva, seguida por uma estação seca de 6 a 8 meses, com uma redução na capacidade de suporte destas pastagens, em virtude da redução na disponibilidade e qualidade da forragem, decorrente de sua lignificação. No mundo existe aproximadamente mil raças zootécnicas de bovinos, das quais 250 mil tem alguma importância numérica ou histórica em termos de produção de carne, de leite ou de ambos. Verificamos também, os tipos de alimentos utilizados na alimentação dos bovinos no período de estiagem como: a Uréia, a Mandioca, a Palma, o Capim Elefante, o Xique-xique.
Financial Inclusion of Women in Business through Microenterprises
Authors: Joshi Pradeep
Published: May 2023

There is a significant gender gap in inheritance, and fewer women have the assets necessary to get a loan with collateral. A woman may not be able to visit a traditional lender because of cultural barriers such as the gender pay gap in the home, fear of physical harm, or a lack of transportation options. To ensure that all Indian citizens have access to basic financial services, the government of India introduced the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) in 2014. The program's goal is to provide those who are "financially excluded" access to services such savings accounts, loans depending on need, a remittances facilities, insurance, and retirement plans. Since then, more than 460 million bank accounts, 67% of which are in rural and semi-urban regions, and 56% of which are held by women, have been established, according to statistics from the Ministry of Finance. Yet, in India, approximately 20% of women still do not have their own bank account. Those who do have bank accounts often don't utilize them consistently and still can't get their hands on the savings and credit they need.

"financial inclusión is the procedure of guaranteeing access to banking services and promptly providing sufficient credit when it is needed by disadvantaged groups including such backward classes and reduced groups at an affordable price," the Reserve Bank of India said in its National Strategy Financial Inclusion (2019-2024). While financial inclusion is seen as a vital driver of economic development and poverty reduction, it is important that these gaps be closed. It guarantees that everyone, wherever can get competent, inexpensive, and accountable financial services.
A Comparison of Management Techniques Used by Public and Private Sector Banks

As a high-level executive role, management's primary responsibility is to carry out the administration's overarching policies. It has been said that management is "the art of getting things done by getting other people to do it." Modern business environments provide unique challenges for managers, who must use certain strategies to succeed. To realize the organization's goals, a number of processes need to be in place. There must be effective management techniques at all levels of management in a company. Methods of management are defined as a set of decisions, actions, approaches, and the deployment of resources. Banks, both public and private, have long been recognized for the vital role they serve in facilitating a wide range of essential societal functions. Existing assessments do not help public and private sector banks improve their exact management efficiency, despite help from the administrative level and the aims established in their memorandum of association. Public and private sector banks, alike, need to reorganize and reconceive their management systems as a result of the vitality of competition with other kinds of banks in similar activities.
Food systems change and the alternative campus foodscape
Authors: Classens Michael , Adam Kaitlyn , Srebot Sophia
Published: May 2023

Postsecondary students, staff, and faculty across North America are actively involved in trans­forming food systems on campuses and beyond. Much of the scholarship documenting these inroads has focused on procurement, production, and pedagogy. While this work is essential, it paints an incomplete picture of the ways postsecondary campuses—and students in particular—are contributing to realizing more just and sustainable food systems. In this paper, we elaborate the contours of what we propose as the alternative campus foodscape in Canada by highlighting campus food systems alternatives (CFSAs), which we define as on-campus initiatives that are moti­vated by animating structural, practice, and/or policy change through the campus foodscape. We demonstrate how CFSAs are distinct from conven­tional food systems and argue that they are essen­tial elements of a robust movement for food systems transformation.
