A preocupação com a degradação do meio ambiente é recente na história e fonte de diversas tentativas de solução. A busca pelo desenvolvimento econômico e a má utilização dos recursos naturais contribuem para o problema. Neste contexto, no cenário internacional, surge a educação ambiental, como principal ferramenta para promoção da mudança de comportamento das pessoas e consequente manejo sustentável dos recursos naturais, a fim de preservá-los para as gerações futuras. Com a inserção do tema na Constituição Federal de 1988, o Brasil implementou a Política Nacional de Educação Ambiental e, o Estado de São Paulo, a Política Estadual. O tema foi inserido nos currículos escolares de forma transversal e permeia todas as áreas de conhecimento. O objetivo do presente trabalho é demonstrar que não há indicadores de efetividade das políticas públicas por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental sobre o assunto. O ensino transversal da matéria e a falta de indicadores, dificultam a avaliação da política pública de educação ambiental, que apesar de implementada, possui uma avaliação deficiente.

Published: January 2024

In response to the evolving dynamics of corporate responsibility, this research explores the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in sustainable business modeling. The study addresses the pressing need for a strategic framework by delving into the complex interplay between ESG considerations and risk score analysis. Leveraging a comprehensive dataset from S&P500 ESG Scores, our methodology employs the CATBoost algorithm, a categorical boosting technique, for predictive modeling. CATBoost's unique ability to handle categorical variables seamlessly is particularly advantageous for datasets with diverse data types, commonly encountered in ESG analysis. Additionally, we apply SHAP (Shapley additive explanations) methods to shed light on the influential factors shaping our model's predictions, enhancing interpretability. The results, presented through sector-wise ESG analyses, pairwise scatter plots, and distribution analyses, offer a granular understanding of ESG performance across various industries. Furthermore, the SHAP explanation methods provide insights into the relative impact of individual ESG factors on predictive outcomes. The findings not only contribute to the empirical understanding of sustainable business practices within the S&P500 but also offer practical insights for businesses seeking to enhance their ESG integration strategies.

Introduction:

The decision to treat metastatic bone disease (MBD) surgically depends in part on patient life expectancy. We are unaware of an international analysis of how life expectancy among these patients has changed over time. Therefore, we asked (1) how has the life expectancy for patients treated for MBD changed over time, and (2) which, if any, of the common primary cancer types are associated with longer survival after treatment of MBD?

Methods:

We reviewed data collected from 2000 to 2022 in an international MBD database, as well as data used for survival model validation. We included 3,353 adults who underwent surgery and/or radiation. No patients were excluded. Patients were grouped by treatment date into period 1 (2000 to 2009), period 2 (2010 to 2019), and period 3 (2020 to 2022). Cumulative survival was portrayed using Kaplan-Meier curves; log-rank tests were used to determine significance at P < 0.05. Subgroup analyses by primary cancer diagnosis were performed.

Results:

Median survival in period 2 was longer than in period 1 (P < 0.001). Median survival (at which point 50% of patients survived) had not been reached for period 3. Median survival was longer in period 2 for all cancer types (P < 0.001) except thyroid. Only lung cancer reached median survival in period 3, which was longer compared with periods 1 and 2 (P < 0.001). Slow-growth, moderate-growth, and rapid-growth tumors all demonstrated longer median survival from period 1 to period 2; only rapid-growth tumors reached median survival for period 3, which was longer compared with periods 1 and 2 (P < 0.001).

Discussion:

Median duration of survival after treatment of MBD has increased, which was a consistent finding in nearly all cancer types. Longer survival is likely attributable to improvements in both medical and surgical treatments. As life expectancy for patients with MBD increases, surgical methods should be selected with this in mind.

Published: January 2024

All growing plant roots have the ability to produce root exudates to which soil microbes are attracted. The objective of this study was to utilise the Biolog EcoPlate™ system to indicate the impact of soil type on soil microbial communities in the rhizosphere following treatment with pot leachates that contain various plant root exudates. A greenhouse experiment was conducted in 2021 and repeated in 2022 from May until July (southern hemisphere) in this winter rainfall area with Mediterranean climatic conditions. This ensured that natural daylight hours in the greenhouse coincided with those experienced in the field by winter-growing crops, from seeding until maturity (May to October). Pot leachate that contained various plant root exudates from six donor plant species (wheat, barley, two lupine cultivars, ryegrass pasture type, and weedy ryegrass hybrid type) was utilised as treatment for respective recipient pots, in which wheat (Triticum aestivum v. SST 027) was grown as a test plant. Recipient plants were grown in two sets of pots, each with two different soil types. Soil samples from recipient pots were used to inoculate the Biolog EcoPlate™ system, and the carbon utilisation patterns obtained in this process were compared to the soil microbial populations present in the soil samples collected prior to treatments. Pot leachate treatment effects on the two soil types differed. Similarly, the treatments had differential effects on the measured soil microbial populations of the recipient wheat plants. Results indicate that the pattern of substrate utilisation by the Biolog EcoPlate™ methodology indicates changes in the number of colony forming units in the soil. In this regard, it was clear that ryegrass pasture variety and weedy ryegrass hybrid type caused similar effects on the soil bacteria communities in the rhizosphere. It is concluded that the primary impact of soil type is distinct microbial communities as an important factor regulating plant and plant-microbe synergy. Secondly, due to the strong selective forces root exudates have on the soil microbiome, conspicuous microbial communities in the rhizosphere of each plant species will continue to develop over time.
Cultivation of Cassava (Manihot Esculentus C.) With Selected Legumes for Growth, Yield and Economic Advantages as Climate Change Mitigations
Authors: Kando Kamelo , Bitane Biniam
Published: January 2024

Cassava (Manihot esculentus Crantz.) is a monoecious perennial shrub that is extensively cultivated as an annual crop in tropical and subtr++=opical regions for its edible, starchy, tuberous roots. It is ideal for intercropping with short-duration crops, which are often harvested before the cassava canopy closes. Thus, intercropping cassava, especially with legumes, is an important way for poor farmers to provide additional crop yield during the early growth stage. Moreover, the incorporation of legumes into cassava-based cropping systems may offer one of the most feasible ways of enhancing protein intake and nutritional security of farming households. Accordingly, a 1-year field study on cassava intercropped with three legumes (haricot bean, mung bean, and soybean) in southern Ethiopia was conducted to determine the effect of intercropping on the growth, yield, and economic advantage of the cassava. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The results revealed that there were significant (P<0.05) differences for cassava plant height, leaf number, stem width, number of storage roots per plant, storage root weight, dry matter, and root yield due to cassava legume intercropping. Cassava- haricot bean intercropping increased root yield by 28% as compared to cassava-mung bean (21%), and cassava-soybean (18 %), respectively. And it can improve land-use efficiency by 31% as compared to cassava-soybean and cassava-mung bean intercropping. The partial budget analysis also revealed that cassava planted with haricot bean gave the highest economic benefit of 199,250 Birr ha-1. Further researches on relative planting time of legumes with cassava and soil fertility variation under sole cassava and intercropping systems are important for improving productivity of growers under the study area.

Genetic divergence analysis is important for selecting genetically varied parents from existing germplasm for a successful breeding program. An investigation with thirty-three snake gourd germplasm was evaluated to assess their diversity using several qualitative and quantitative characters. Of the qualitative characters maximum variations were observed in fruit shape, fruit curvature, fruit skin color, and fruit skin lustre. The highest quantitative variation was observed in yield per plot (CV-49.44%), which was influenced by the higher number of fruit yields per plant (CV-49.22%). The first principal component (PC1) explained 30.6% while the second PC showed 18.3% of the total variability among the evaluated snake gourd germplasm. The clustering study classified them into five groupings based on twelve quantitative charac-ters where the most accessions (11) were under cluster V followed by cluster II (10). The max-imum cluster mean value was observed in cluster IV for the characters of fruit length (36.44 cm), number of fruits per plant (11.60), fruit yield per plant (2.34 kg), and yield per plot (9.37 kg). The snake gourd germplasm such as N-170, LAH-68, AHI-99, R-1, KI-36, AC-423 and AC-187 performed as wide variations according to biplot analysis while AC-118, and AR-39, AHI-104, AHI-99, AC-187, AC-357 superior through cluster analysis. Finally, the identified desirable traits from the prominent germplasm can be used for advancing the high-yielding va-rieties.
The Gain-of-Function Research in Virology: Concerns, Risks, and Benefits
Authors: Yapalak Zehra Leyla
Published: January 2024

Gain-of-function (GOF) research is biotechnological research that genetically modifies microbial gene products to enhance their biological function. The basic aim of this research is to elucidate the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, develop new vaccines and therapeutics, improve cancer treatments, and achieve specific goals by adding beneficial trait expression to the genome. Despite these significant potential benefits, GOF research can pose some important and serious biosafety risks. The main group of pathogens of concern in GOF research are respiratory viruses with pandemic potential. While laboratory accidents and ongoing discussions in recent years have raised important awareness that these studies should be carried out in high-safety laboratories, concerns about the results of these studies remain unclear due to the inadequacy or absence of mechanisms to prevent misuse for informal research, despite the strict controls in research funded by international organizations. The most important issue to be discussed is the need to establish regulations that ensure the sustainability of scientific studies and developments that can benefit humanity, as well as strict control or, if necessary, a moratorium on potentially risky research. Debates on the value, safety, ethics, and validity of GOF studies are still ongoing. In this article, it is aimed to examine the status of GOF research in virology, with examples from the current literature, together with benefit and risk perspectives.

Published: January 2024

Cardiac rehabilitation programs are crucial components of cardiac care, aiming to optimize the recovery of patients after cardiac surgery. Within these programs, physiotherapists play a pivotal role in guiding patients through exercise regimens, lifestyle modifications, and the management of pharmacotherapy. Despite their essential role, there remains a limited exploration of the knowledge, attitude, and practice of physiotherapists concerning cardiac rehabilitation program adherence, with a particular focus on the integration of pharmacotherapy, among patients discharged from Indian hospitals after cardiac surgery. This study conducted a structured analysis to comprehensively assess physiotherapists’ knowledge of cardiac rehabilitation guidelines, their attitudes toward patient adherence, and their practices in promoting adherence, taking into consideration the pharmacotherapeutic aspect. Preliminary findings reveal that a substantial proportion of physiotherapists possess an adequate knowledge of cardiac rehabilitation guidelines, emphasizing the significance of exercise, risk factor management, psychosocial support, and medication management. Attitudes toward patient adherence were predominantly positive, reflecting a strong belief in the program’s efficacy in improving patient outcomes. However, it is noteworthy that certain barriers to adherence, including patient motivation, resource limitations, and cultural factors, were identified. In practice, physiotherapists employ diverse strategies, encompassing patient education, exercise supervision, goal setting, and pharmacotherapeutic guidance, to enhance adherence among discharged patients. This review provides valuable insights into the knowledge, attitude, and practice of physiotherapists concerning cardiac rehabilitation program adherence, emphasizing the integration of pharmacotherapy, among patients following cardiac surgery in India. While physiotherapists exhibit robust knowledge and positive attitudes, challenges related to patient motivation and resource constraints warrant dedicated attention. These findings underscore the imperative need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to enhance adherence to cardiac rehabilitation programs, ultimately contributing to improved postoperative outcomes for cardiac surgery patients in India. Furthermore, further research is essential to explore the patient perspective comprehensively and establish a holistic approach to cardiac rehabilitation adherence that seamlessly incorporates pharmacotherapy.
The great mimic: A rare clinical presentation of myocarditis and multi-organ failure secondary to phaeochromocytoma
Authors: Umberto Scaramozzino Marco , Veronica Nassisi , Vito Pipitone , Levi Guido
Published: January 2024

Phaeochromocytomas are catecholamine-producing tumours derived from the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system. The clinical presentation is variable, ranging from adrenal incidentalomas to patients with hypertensive crisis or, rarely, with myocarditis and multiple organ failure. We present the case of a 54-year-old patient admitted to the emergency room due to sudden onset of dyspnoea and tachycardia; after a few minutes, due to the onset of oxygen desaturation and loss of consciousness, he was intubated; a coronary angiography was performed which revealed no significant stenosis; the diagnostic hypothesis therefore led us to think of a genesis of the clinical presentation due to a myocarditis which was then confirmed by cardiac MRI. The aetiology was also clarified by performing abdominal CT and urinary and serum dosage of catecholamines. Phaeochromocytoma confirms itself as an excellent simulator, which is why it is defined as the "great mimic" and is one of the diagnostic hypotheses to think about in young patients with acute multiorgan failure not explained by other causes.

Por isso tem se procurado materiais ou técnicas construtivas sustentáveis, dentre os quais agregar-se materiais que tenham propriedades compatíveis aos comumente utilizados, reduzindo-se o uso de cimento, areia e pedra. Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar os principais materiais agregados que já foram experimentados e validados, que podem compor a matéria-prima da produção de concretos e argamassas com resultados menos desastrosos ao ambiente. Fez-se um apanhado na literatura, onde se encontrou artigos, monografias, dissertações que abordam o assunto. Deles se fez um apanhado que verifica a viabilidade, oportunidade e positividade do uso dos agregados, trazendo resultado comparativo para aplicação do concreto assim produzido em função estrutural ou de vedação. A pesquisa pode ser útil como elemento básico para nortear aqueles que pretendem aplicar tais materiais em seus trabalhos, bem como para desencadear e subsidiar novos estudos, com novos testes e experimentos, tanto dos materiais apresentados, como de outros que ainda possam surgir.

Trata-se de pesquisa bibliográfica cujo principal objetivo é realizar uma análise comparativa entre as abordagens teóricas da biomedicina, das teorias interpretativas e das teorias críticas, no que se refere à compreensão do conceito de Saúde Mental. Como conclusão, argumentamos que cada uma destas abordagens enfoca um aspecto fundamental do processo saúde-doença, de modo que a compreensão global do conceito de saúde mental exige que seja reconhecida a importância de todas essas abordagens e, sobretudo, que as pesquisas futuras possam promover diálogos profícuos entre elas.

Os acidentes de trânsito são um dos problemas de saúde pública que afetam o mundo todo, causando milhares de mortes todo ano. Não diferentemente, no Brasil, esse tipo de acidente é responsável por grande parcela da quantidade de óbitos quantificados por ano, sendo os principais afetados os homens de 20 a 39 anos. Além disso, vale ressaltar que as causas mais comuns são: comportamento de risco, infraestrutura inadequada e o perfil demográfico. Portanto, para compreender melhor as causas e consequências de tal problema, é necessário entender o perfil epidemiológico dos óbitos decorrentes de acidentes de trânsito no Brasil.

A espécie vegetal Arrabidaea chica, popularmente como pariri, cipó-pau ou crajiru, destaca-se por suas diversas propriedades medicinais. Dentre elas, a possibilidade de uso no tratamento de inflamações uterinas, sífilis, leucemia, conjuntivites, diarreias, cólicas intestinais, psoríase, impigens, úlceras, prevenção contra cáries dentre outros. Apesar de ser um organismo amplamente estudado, o número de monografias, dissertações, teses e artigos que abordam essa espécie nos últimos dez anos não ultrapassa cinquenta e cinco, e essa quantidade é ainda menor no Amazonas. Nesse contexto, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar, por meio de levantamento bibliográfico, os compostos químicos presentes nas folhas e hastes da A. chica responsáveis pelas atividades antimicrobiana e antioxidante. O método empregado baseia-se em pesquisa exploratória-descritiva de artigos disponíveis nas bases SciELO e Google Acadêmico, abrangendo o período de 2004 a 2022, com enfoque em atividade antimicrobiana e antioxidante. Foram identificados 20 artigos que indicam a predominância de substâncias da classe dos flavonoides, os quais exibem atividade antioxidante e antimicrobiana contra diversos patógenos, incluindo Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus e Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Além disso, relatam-se atividades antianêmicas, anti-hipertensivas, anti-hepatotóxicas, antioxidantes, antitumorais, anti-inflamatórias, diuréticas e cicatrizantes. Dentre os flavonoides que são mencionados na literatura, têm-se a carajurina, carajurona, 6,7,3’-triidroxi-5,4’-dimetoxiflavílio, 6,7,3,4’-triidroxi-5-metoxiflavílio, 4’,7-diidroxi-5-metoxiflavona, 4’-hidroxi-3,7-dimetoxiflavona, carajuflavona, luteolina, kaempferol, vicentina-2 e acacetina. A partir do levantamento de dados realizado no presente estudo, almeja-se promover a disseminação do conhecimento e incentivar pesquisas biológicas e químicas sobre a A. chica na região do Alto Solimões no Estado do Amazonas.
COLONIALIDADE, INFERIORIZAÇÃO E O PROTAGONISMO FEMININO NA OBRA NIKETCHE: UMA HISTÓRIA DE POLIGAMIA

Published: January 2024

Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal evidenciar o protagonismo feminino na obra Niketche: uma história de poligamia da escritora moçambicana Paulina Chiziane. Pretendemos mostrar as várias versões que a personagem principal, Rami, revela ao longo da narrativa e o quanto elas estão associados às questões histórico-culturais da realidade feminina em Moçambique, em suma, as localidades em que as mulheres citadas no ato poligâmico encontram-se. A personagem principal após descobrir que seu casamento estava em crise busca saber os motivos e descobre que seu esposo, Tony, tem outras mulheres. A partir de então, Rami sai de um status de passividade e ganha total protagonismo na obra. Após frustrações num primeiro encontro com a primeira amante, Rami munida de prejulgamentos percebe que a realidade ao qual está passando soma-se a dessa e das demais mulheres envolvidas no ato poligâmico. Após desentendimentos iniciais, essas mulheres unem-se e com isso podemos notar o empoderamento feminino presente na narrativa. Contudo, este empoderamento encontra-se consolidado às questões femininas da realidade cruel moçambicana, que tem em sua cultura traços massacrantes, enraizados pela colonização, que colocam o macho num lugar privilegiado e a fêmea numa condição desfavorecida. Essa pesquisa possibilita uma análise nessas questões indenitárias feminina de Moçambique e permite um mergulho na subjetividade colocada por Chiziane, evidenciando ao leitor o papel da mulher como protagonista e não mais como coadjuvante de sua própria história. Este trabalho é de cunho bibliográfico e baseia-se em Beauvoir (1970), Zolin (2009), Arnfred  (2015) e mais alguns.

El artículo presenta una investigación cualitativa que indaga sobre la Interrupción Voluntaria del Embarazo en Chile. Esta práctica es reconocida por el Estado sólo en tres causales mediante la Ley N°21.030, la que, además, permite el ingreso a un Programa de Acompañamiento voluntario para las mujeres que acceden a la Ley, y que incluye atenciones por parte de un equipo psicosocial (psicóloga y trabajadora social). Dentro de este Programa de Acompañamiento se evidencian vulneraciones a los derechos de las mujeres que deciden acceder a éste, tales como estigmas dentro del proceso, omisión de información relevante en torno a la ley, coerción por parte de profesionales para evitar que se produzca la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo, falta de confidencialidad y espacios físicos seguros, entre otras, lo que genera situaciones de injusticias ocupacionales. Los resultados se analizaron mediante tres categorías de análisis: maternidad obligatoria; profesionales en torno a la ley: objetores de conciencia vs equipo psicosocial; y obstaculizadores del libre ejercicio de la autodeterminación. Este abordaje nos permitió comprender y analizar de forma crítica las situaciones que se dan en torno al Programa de Acompañamiento desde la mirada de las profesionales de la dupla psicosocial.

Các mỏ đá vôi để sản xuất clanhke xi măng tại Việt Nam thường đan xen giữa đá vôi chất lượng tốt và đá vôi lẫn các tạp chất không mong muốn (như: MgCO3; silic; sun phát…), và nhiều nhất vẫn là MgCO3. Khi hàm lượng MgCO3 lớn hơn 5%, các nhà máy sản xuất clanhke xi măng gặp khó khăn trong quá trình ổn định công nghệ và chất lượng xi măng không ổn định. Quá trình khai thác đá vôi thường phải bóc bỏ những vỉa đá có lẫn hàm lượng MgCO3 cao, điều này dẫn đến lãng phí tài nguyên và tăng chi phí khai thác. Trong nghiên cứu này, đã sử dụng CaF2 và CaSO4 cũng như tăng hàm lượng Fe2O3 trong phối liệu để ổn định hàm lượng MgO trong khoáng và trong pha thủy tinh. Kết quả đạt được, có thể sản xuất clanhke xi măng poóc lăng với hàm lượng MgO lên đến 8,82%, vẫn đảm bảo các tính chất cơ lý của xi măng.
