Published: October 2024

O Maranhão é um dos centros de diversificação do cajueiro (Anacardium occidentale L.), sendo o primeiro estado em áreas com condições climáticas e de solo com aptidão para o cultivo do cajueiro no Nordeste. Entretanto, informações sobre a ocorrência de pragas no estado são praticamente inexistentes. Portanto, levantamentos sobre a ocorrência de pragas constituem informações básicas para a cajucultura nessa região. Este trabalho teve como objetivos desenvolver uma pesquisa descritiva para identificar as pragas prevalecentes na microrregião do Alto Mearim, caracterizar os clones recomendados quanto às reações às principais pragas e levantar os efeitos de diferentes sistemas de cultivo na ocorrência. Os resultados permitiram concluir que as condições ambientais da região são altamente favoráveis a ocorrências de algumas pragas, onde identificou-se 15 espécies de insetos nocivos ao cajueiro, pertences a cinco ordens e a 13 diferentes famílias, os quais, em função do hábito e da espécie, estão distribuídos em todos os órgãos da planta. A ordem Coleóptera foi a que apresentou o maior número de espécies e com a maior diversidade de hábito alimentar.  A traça-da-castanha (Anacampsis phytomiella), o besouro-dos-ponteiros (Liogenys spp.) e a larva-do-broto-terminal (Stenodiplosis sp.) foram as pragas mais comuns na região. O sistema de cultivo irrigado influenciou na incidência de A. phytomiella para o clone CCP 76, sugerindo uma maior preferência desse genótipo pela praga. Ao contrário, os clones BRS 226 e BRS 189 não foram atacados pela traça-da-castanha, sugerindo uma possível resistência, do tipo não preferência, desses genótipos à praga nas condições da região. O sistema de cultivo mínimo influenciou positivamente a infestação da larva-do-broto-terminal, enquanto que o sistema convencional desfavoreceu o ataque da praga.

Published: October 2024

O consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados impactam diretamente à saúde cardiovascular das pessoas, uma vez que a sua principal base de produção é extraída de fontes pobres em nutrientes dietéticos com uma quantidade maior de aditivos químicos, usando uma série de processos e contendo alimentos integrais mínimos. Logo, a adoção cada vez mais frequente de hábitos alimentares inadequados nos leva a questionar sobre o impacto das intervenções nutricionais atuais tradicionalmente utilizadas. Desse modo, a partir da problemática, desenvolve-se este estudo com o objetivo analisar os impactos dos alimentos ultraprocessados na saúde cardiovascular e avaliar como o consumo desses produtos afeta a qualidade de vida das pessoas. A revisão de literatura foi realizada a partir da base de dados: Scielo e Revistas Cientificas, no período Agosto a Setembro de 2024. Nesse sentido a educação nutricional apresenta papel importante na mudança desses hábitos alimentares inadequados, principalmente no que se refere à prevenção e o controle de patologias com causa de origem alimentar. É fundamental, portanto, trabalhar a preservação da cultura alimentar no conjunto das políticas de saúde e de segurança alimentar e nutricional para apoiar sistemas alimentares saudáveis e sustentáveis e escolhas alimentares mais saudáveis, visando à saúde humana.

Published: October 2024

Violence in schools has emerged as an issue of great national relevance after the occurrence of tragic incidents involving children in different states of Brazil. These impactful events raised serious concerns about safety within educational institutions and underlined the urgency of addressing the issue of school violence across the country. The article proposes to analyze violence in high schools, through the responses of school principals. The database is based on the results of the Basic Education Evaluation System (SAEB) in the years 2019 and 2021, in the context of Brazilian states. The data show a decrease in the types of violence reported between 2019 and 2021, except for the Robbery type. For the year 2021, where new types of violence were introduced, mainly of a psychological aspect, the data are worrying about Bullying, Vandalism and the complete non-perception of Harassment Sexual. By better understanding the dynamics of school violence, it will be possible to develop approaches for increasing social capital, thus promoting a safer and more welcoming school environment, and, consequently, increasing human capital.

Published: October 2024

Special weapons and tactics (SWAT) teams are primarily classified into two categories full-time (FT) and part-time (PT). FT teams generally work in heavily populated areas, where they are assigned to the SWAT unit with no other collateral duties. PT teams work in less populated/rural areas, with SWAT as their secondary role, and their primary duties are generally outside of SWAT. This study examined differences in injury locations, mechanisms, treatment, and length of injury time between PT and FT SWAT operators. Participants (PT n=48, FT n=24) completed a survey related to areas injured, length or injuries, mechanism of injuries, and care sought. There were group differences for percentage of injuries seeking medical assistance (FT: 25-50%, PT: 1-24%, p=0.009) and number of injuries sustained while on a live operation (FT: 1-24%, PT: none, p=0.008). There were no differences for number of injuries sustained during law enforcement career (FT: 3.1±2.5 injuries, PT: 2.40±2.2 injuries, p=0.238), number of body areas with extended pain (FT: 2.6±2.3 areas, PT: 1.9±1.8 areas, p=0.120), or time of sustained injury (both groups: 1-6 months, p=0.187). Lower back was the highest reported injured area (47%), followed by neck (14%). FT operators sustain more serious injuries than PT operators and FT operators experience more injuries while on duty. Law enforcement agencies and clinical practitioners should consider collaborating to provide FT operators with the appropriate care for their injuries. Appropriate care may effectively reduce recovery time for injuries and reduce the number of missed workdays for the operator.
Organizational Correlates of Technology Adoption in Municipal U.S. Police Departments
Authors: Teti Matthew
Published: October 2024

This paper examines the organizational and environmental correlates of the adoption of various technologies among 951 municipal police departments in the United States. Using data from the 2016 Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey, multiple regression models are used to predict measures of police organization, structure, context, and culture on police technology adoption. Several different models, derived from factor analyses, are used to inspect the different kinds of technologies used in law enforcement. The results show that show that while technology has become increasingly widespread in law enforcement, there are still areas for improvement. In particular, there are important differences in the adoption of certain technologies based on the differences in the technologies themselves, as well as the differences in the implementing police departments. Evidence of a resource gap between large and small police agencies is also observed. Implications for policy and future research are discussed.

Проблема идеологических оснований современного фитнеса
Authors: Колесова И.С.
Published: October 2024

данная работа носит дискуссионный характер. Ее цель состоит в раскрытии идеологических установок современной фитнес-культуры. Отмечается, что недостаточное изучение идейной подоплеки и отсутствие критического осознания содержательной составляющей фитнеса, приводит к превалированию коммерческого начала и отсечению его творческого потенциала. Данные искажения в понимании сущности фитнес-культуры влекут фокусировку на телесности человека в ущерб его интеллектуальному и духовному развитию, которые только вкупе и составляют здоровое бытие в его целостном виде. В связи с этим заостряется вопрос о недостаточном насыщении гуманитарным содержанием дисциплин, изучаемых будущими специалистами в сфере физической культуры и спорта.

this work is of a controversial nature. Its goal is to reveal the ideological attitudes of modern fitness culture. It is noted that there is insufficient study of the ideological background and lack of critical awareness of the substantive component of fitness, leads to the prevalence of the commercial principle and the cutting off of its creative potential. These distortions in understanding the ideological component of fitness lead to a focus on the human body. While a healthy existence is impossible without attention to intellectual and spiritual development. In this regard, the issue of insufficient saturation of disciplines with humanitarian content is becoming more acute, studied by future professionals in the field of physical education and sports.

Фольклорные и религиозно-философские аллюзии и аналогии в поэме Льюиса Кэрролла «Охота на Снарка»
Authors: Гончарова Н.Н.
Published: October 2024

предлагаемая статья посвящена исследованию фольклорных и религиозно-философских аллюзий и типологических аналогий в поэме Льюиса Кэрролла «Охота на Снарка». Исследование показало, что образ команды корабля служит пародией на тотемических предков, выполняющих функцию организации мироустройства, сказочных волшебных помощников и героев-змееборцев. В тексте поэмы обнаружены ветхо- и новозаветные аллюзии. К числу первых относятся аллюзии к Книге пророка Даниила и 141-му псалму Псалтири (140-му псалму русской Псалтыри). Новозаветные аллюзии включают в себя аллюзии к преданию о волхвах, притче о заблудшей овце и Откровению Иоанна Богослова. Особое внимание уделяется символическому значению числа 42; оно толкуется в контексте молитвы «Анна бехоах», 11-й главы Откровения Иоанна Богослова и пророчества Даниила о семидесяти седминах. В статье проведены аналогии между отдельными образами «Охоты на Снарка» и древнекитайского трактата «Чжуан-цзы». Так, образ путешествия, описанного в поэме, противоречит даосской концепции «беззаботного скитания» (перевод В. В. Малявина). Сходным является и особое использование языка. Номинализм Кэрролла перекликается со стилем повествования Чжуан-цзы, употреблявшего слова в значениях, противоположным конвенциональным.

this article is devoted to the study of folkloric and religio-philosophical allusions and typological analogies in Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark. The study found that the image of the ship’s crew serves as a parody of totemic ancestors, performing the function of organizing the world order, fairytale magical helpers, and dragonslayers. Old and New Testament allusions are revealed in the text of the poem. The former include allusions to the Book of Daniel and Psalm 141; the latter, allusions to the story of the Magi, the parable of the lost sheep, and the Book of Revelation. Particular attention is given to the symbolic significance of the number 42, which is interpreted in the context of the prayer Ana BeKoach, Revelation 11, and Daniel’s prophecy of seventy weeks. The article draws analogies between the individual images of The Hunting of the Snark and Chuang Tzu. Thus the image of the journey, described in the poem, contradicts the Taoist concept of “free and easy wandering” (translated by Burton Watson). The special use of language is also similar. Carroll’s nominalism corresponds to the narrative style characteristic of Chuang Tzu, who used words in meanings opposite to the conventional ones.
Специфика репрезентации идеи русского мира в хронике Н.С. Лескова «Старые годы в селе Плодомасове»
Authors: Багдасарова Г.А.
Published: October 2024

в статье рассматривается специфика репрезентации идеи русского мира в хронике Н.С. Лескова на персонажном и проблемно-тематическом уровнях. Цель данного исследования – определить основные понятия и категории, а также системные элементы философско-эстетической концепции «русский мир» в литературном творчестве Н.С. Лескова на примере хроники «Старые годы в селе Плодомасове». Были поставлены следующие задачи: выделить культурно-философские компоненты идеи русского мира Н.С. Лескова; определить терминологический и категориальный ряд идеи русского мира в хронике Н.С. Лескова. Анализ показывает, как произведение Лескова предвосхищает более позднюю концептуализацию идеи русского мира как славянского культурно-цивилизационного пространства, отличного от Запада. Научная новизна исследования состоит в том, что в нем впервые на материале хроники системно рассмотрена проблема культурно-цивилизационной специфики России в поэтике Н.С. Лескова, а также обозначены особенности функционирования таких понятий и категорий, как «русский характер», «национальная идея», «русский Бог» в авторском тезаурусе. В результате исследования установлено, что изображая сельское русское дворянство и крестьянство, Н.С. Лесков создает образ русского народа с его уникальными традициями, ценностями и мировоззрением. Это закладывает основу для последующего развития концепции русского мира писателя.

the article examines the specifics of representing the idea of the Russian world in N.S. Leskov’s chronicle at the character and problem-thematic levels. The purpose of this study is to determine the main concepts and categories, as well as the systemic elements of the philosophical and aesthetic concept of the “Russian world” in the literary works of N.S. Leskov using the example of the chronicle “Old Years in the Village of Plodomasovo”. The following tasks were set: to highlight the cultural and philosophical components of N.S. Leskov’s idea of the Russian world; to determine the terminological and categorical series of the idea of the Russian world in N.S. Leskov’s chronicle. The analysis shows how Leskov’s work anticipates the later conceptualization of the idea of the Russian world as a Slavic cultural and civilizational space, distinct from the West. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time, using the material of the chronicle, it systematically examines the problem of the cultural and civilizational specificity of Russia in the poetics of N.S. Leskov, and also the features of functioning of such concepts and categories as "Russian character", "national idea", "Russian God" in the author's thesaurus are designated. As a result of the study it was established that by depicting the rural Russian nobility and peasantry, N.S. Leskov creates an image of the Russian people with its unique traditions, values and worldview. This lays the foundation for the subsequent development of the writer's concept of the Russian world.

Published: October 2024

Innovative thinking and digital technologies are essential for advancing sustainable development. It’s crucial to recognize that technological improvements can affect sustainability in both positive and negative ways. To improve sustainability results, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of how people and organizations are utilizing these technologies. The objective of this article is to ascertain and evaluate the principal prospects and obstacles linked to the integration of technology in sustainable development. In addition, we have suggested several study topics and noted several research gaps that will require further investigation. Four main categories have been established for these research topics. The first three classifications center around the natural world, financial benefits, and society, the three pillars of sustainability. Study agendas that apply to all three of the environmentally friendly aspects are included in the fourth category, which is a general category. The knowledge gained from this research adds to the body of knowledge in several theoretical ways and has important applications for developers, decision-makers, and professionals. The major opportunities and difficulties associated with adopting technology for environmental development were noted and examined in this study. A bibliometric analysis is also performed to find and investigate research gaps. Future study issues and areas were recommended based on these research gaps. A surge in political and economic internationalization has been made possible in recent years by the creation of legislation, the removal of trade barriers, and technological advancements, particularly in the areas of transportation, energy, and telecommunication. Apart from the incentives associated with industrialization, advancements in technology across many economic domains have also played a role in exacerbating the environmental repercussions of economic expansion.

Authors: Inyang, H. B.
Published: October 2024

The study analysed the factors influencing the returns on broilers production in Uyo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 100 poultry farmers practicing deep litter system for the study. The data were obtained from a cross-sectional survey of broiler farmers in the study area. The study revealed that male farmers (52%) dominated the broiler production in the study area. The total cost of broilers production was N786,303.60 while the total revenue was N1,430,329.8. The gross margin and net farm income were N 682,052.76 and N 644,026.20 respectively. The study also revealed that the high cost of feed accounted for 80.18% of the total cost of broilers production inversely affected the profitability of broilers production in the study area.  The study also reaved that, despite the high cost of feeds deep litter system of broilers production is profitable as depicted by the net farm income of N 644,026.20. Besides, the return on a naira invested was N 0.819 implying that for every N1 invested 81.9k was return as profit. The study concluded that high cost of feeds and lack of funds are the major factors influencing the returns on broilers production in the study area. Based on the findings, it was therefore recommended; Subsidy on feed cost, simple procedures for credit facilities, increase in flock size to enhance profitability, Provision of adequate incentives and financial services to farmers for increase productivity, as well as stoppage of the arbitrary fees levied such as environmental fee, business premises fee and other levies that were introduced by the local government authorities to restore sanity and create a conducive environment for investment in poultry industry.
ANALYSIS OF INCOME INEQUALITY AMONG DRY AND WET SEASON FARO-44 RICE FARMERS BENEFICIARIES OF FADAMA III ADDITIONAL FINANCE II PROJECT IN TARABA STATE, NIGERIA
Authors: Banseka, R. F.  , Murtala, N.  , Sani R. M.
Published: October 2024

The study was carried out to examine income inequality among dry and wet season faro-44 rice farmer beneficiaries of fadama III additional finance II project in Taraba State, Nigeria. A Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 500 respondents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean, frequency distribution and percentages) and inferential statistics (Gini coefficient). The findings of the study revealed a gini coefficient of 0.71 for dry season farmers indicating 71% inequality in the size of income distribution among dry season faro-44 dry season farmers. The Lorenz curve shows the degree of departure of the curve from the diagonal line shows the extent of the deviation of distribution from equality. There is hence inequality in income distribution among the farmers. The result also shows that most (86%) of the respondents had income range of ₦50,001- ₦100,000 with cumulative income of ₦95,531.56 per farmer representing a gini coefficient of 0.65 for farmers. This indicated a 65% inequality in the size of income distribution among wet season faro-44 farmers. The degree of departure of the curve from the diagonal line shows the extent of the deviation of distribution from equality. From the analysis of both dry and wet season, the study concluded that there is very high-income inequality among faro-44 rice farmers in the study area due to difference in off-farmer income, labour availability, farm size and production technologies adopted by farmers. The study recommended that faro-44 rice farmers in the study area should be encouraged to diversify their income sources beyond farming activities, credit facilities and savings mechanisms should be promoted among farmers. Training and support should be provided to farmers on improved agricultural techniques that can increase productivity and reduce the impact of seasonal variations. And there should be better market linkages for Faro-44 rice farmers to ensure they receive fair prices for their produce.

Biomechanical analysis of impact static loading on dental resin composites using homotopy perturbation
Authors: Adeleye Olurotimi , Omokagbo Boluwaji , Sobamowo Gbeminiyi
Published: October 2024

The biomechanical analysis of the impact static loading on dental resin composites (DRC) using homotopy perturbation method is here presented. The DRC are commonly used to restore damaged teeth due to their aesthetic of appeal and biocompatibility. However, their strain rate dependent response under different loading conditions still remains a subject of interest and research. Consequently, the present study provides analytical solutions to the developed predictive nonlinear ordinary differential equation mathematical model for the strain rate viscoelastic deformation behaviors of DRC under impact static loading. The solution of the developed governing model was obtained by applying the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). The obtained analytical solution was validated with the Runge-Kutta Order four (RK4) numerical method and good agreement was established between them. The effects of material applied stress, viscosity, stiffness, and initial strain on the model were investigated. It is observed from the study that when an applied impact static stress was applied on the material model, there was no conventional decrease in strain before the progressive increase until it reaches relaxation. Secondly, as the stiffness parameter increases, the time to reach relaxation also increases. In addition, as the viscosity increases, the material resistance to deformation also increases. And as the initial strain increases, there was increase in the time to reach the relaxation point and increase in the relaxation values. This study provides a guide for the development of improved dental composites and restoration techniques. The study also provides an insight for advancements in restorative dentistry and lead to enhanced clinical outcomes for patients. It is envisaged that this present study will serve as yardstick for subsequent works in the research area.
Demographic Differences in Letters of Recommendation for Economics Ph.D. Students
Authors: Hirtle Beverly , Kovner Anna
Published: October 2024

We analyze 6,400 letters of recommendation for more than 2,200 economics and finance Ph.D. graduates from 2018 to 2021. Letter text varies significantly by field of interest, with significantly less positive and shorter letters for Macroeconomics and Finance candidates. Letters for female and Black or Hispanic job candidates are weaker in some dimensions, while letters for Asian candidates are notably less positive overall. We introduce a new measure of letter quality capturing candidates that are recommended to “top” departments. Female, Asian, and Black or Hispanic candidates are all less likely to be recommended to top academic departments, even after controlling for other letter characteristics. Finally, we examine early career outcomes and find that letter characteristics, especially a “top” recommendation have meaningful effects on initial job placements and journal publications.

The trend of giant panda (Ailuropoda, Ursidae) body size evolution during the Quaternary has long been observed primarily through dental size analysis. However, exact body mass estimations have been lacking, whereas the dental size is generally viewed as a poor index for body mass estimation. In this study, we assess the accuracy of body mass prediction based on dentition using data from extensive cranial, dental, and postcranial fossil remains recovered in the Shuanghe Cave, Guizhou, southwestern China. Our results support a high degree of accuracy in body mass estimation based on m1 length, likely due to the relatively stable proportion of this tooth to the whole body in the Quaternary Ailuropoda. Our analyses of the body mass evolution of giant pandas since the earliest Pleistocene reveal rapid growth in body mass from A. microta to A. melanoleuca in the Early Pleistocene. This was followed by an initial increase and subsequent decrease in body mass, leading to the modern form since the Middle Pleistocene. The initial period of rapid growth is likely driven by the increasing feeding efficiency on bamboo, facilitating larger body sizes. In contrast, the later fluctuation in body mass coincides with climatic and monsoon change in the Middle and Late Pleistocene, directly impacting bamboo availability. The body mass evolution of the giant panda offers insights into its historical adaptation, highlighting the correlation of evolution and paleoclimatic change during the Quaternary.

Hydrogen peroxide (HP) is one of the most desirable alternatives to hydrazine and its derivatives, the most common type of fuel utilized in today’s rocket fuel industry. Research interest in HP as a rocket propellant has recently increased due to concerns over the carcinogenic nature of hydrazine-based fuels and the dinitrogen tetroxide rocket propellant combination. Hydrazine is a dangerously unstable, highly toxic, and carcinogenic substance, whereas HP is considered a green fuel. HP has a higher specific gravity and lower cost compared to its counterparts. HP cells are made with catalysts such as nickel, platinum, and palladium, and their efficiency is significantly higher than that of other cells. HP can be used as a monopropellant, bipropellant, or hybrid propellant in various compositions. The exothermic decomposition of HP yields water and oxygen. The rate of decomposition depends on factors such as temperature, concentration, pH, and the catalyst used. After treating the water with suitable salts, it can be consumed by astronauts, giving HP an advantage over other propellants.

Published: October 2024

Una importante cantidad de indígenas de la región altos de Chiapas por problemas de pobreza y exclusión han optado por dejar sus comunidades y migrar a Tuxtla Gutiérrez, capital del estado. Por la baja cualificación de su fuerza de trabajo y los estigmas que la sociedad dominante tiene en su contra, el empleo es escaso, por lo que no les queda otra opción que tomar los trabajos con salarios muy bajos y en condiciones poco propicias para realizar su labor, aunque este es sólo el inicio de una búsqueda en diferentes giros laborales hasta encontrar una mejor remuneración, para generar ahorros y emprender sus propias ventas. Así el trayecto de vida de estos inmigrantes en la ciudad queda condicionada al ingreso económico que pueda lograr mediante un empleo, que a su vez depende de una recomendación y su habilidad para darle una buena impresión al patrón y lo contrate ignorando los estigmas que propulsan la discriminación. Es una investigación de tipo cualitativa con el enfoque curso de vida, donde participaron hombre y mujeres indígenas con más de 10 años de haber migrado a la capital, y las técnicas que se utilizaron fue las historias de vida acompañada de la observación.
