Fish Food and Community Health: An Assessment of the Contribution of Capture Fisheries to Nutritional Needs of Households in Nigeria
Authors: Egun Nkonyeasua Kingsley , Oboh Ijeoma Patience , Olowo Cyril U. , Enabulele Clinton O.
Published: February 2025

Capture fisheries has been a major source of animal protein to households in Nigeria especially among low income households and riverine rural communities. This study evaluated the potential contribution of captured fishes to meeting the recommended nutrient intakes (RNIs) of various population groups in consumer households. Results of nutritional composition of Clarias gariepinus, Synodontis schall and Tilapia zillii indicate that the fish species are good sources of animal protein (15.87 – 17.64%), fish oil (1.74 – 6.53%) and micronutrients (1.54 – 8.24 mg/100g). The low per capita consumption of fish as food in Nigeria (8.39 kg) has led to the poor contribution (≤ 25%) of these fishes to the average daily recommended nutrient intake (RNI) of calcium, iron, and zinc in adults, pregnant and lactating women (PLW) and children. Estimations of RNI showed increasing percentage contribution with increasing per capita consumption of fish among various population groups. The need for increased fish consumption among the various population groups in Nigeria (>30 kg per capita); investments in community based aquaculture of commercial fish species and dietary inclusion of other food sources with good quantities of nutrients are recommended to ameliorate malnutrition and undernutrition especially among the vulnerable group of consumers.
Impact of tadalafil on cardiovascular and organ dysfunction induced by experimental sepsis
Authors: Nakashima Marcelo Almeida , Delfrate Gabrielle , Albino Lucas Braga , Alves Gustavo Ferreira , Oliveira Junior Garcia , Fernandes Daniel
Published: February 2025

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that affects the cardiovascular and renal systems. Severe hypotension during sepsis compromises tissue perfusion, which can lead to multiple organ dysfunction and death. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) degrades intracellular cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels which promotes vasodilatation in specific sites. Our previous studies show that inhibiting cGMP production in early sepsis increases mortality, implying a protective role for cGMP production. Then, we hypothesized that cGMP increased by tadalafil (PDE5 inhibitor) could improve microcirculation and prevent sepsis-induced organ dysfunction.Methods: Rats were submitted to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) sepsis model and treated with tadalafil (2 mg/kg, s.c.) 8 hours after the procedure. Hemodynamic, inflammatory and biochemical assessments were performed 24 hours after sepsis induction. Moreover, the effect of tadalafil on the survival of septic rats was evaluated for 5 days.Results: Tadalafil treatment improves basal renal blood flow during sepsis and preserves it during noradrenaline infusion. Sepsis induces hypotension, impaired response to noradrenaline, and increased cardiac and renal neutrophil infiltration, in addition to increased levels of plasma nitric oxide and lactate. None of these dysfunctions were changed by tadalafil. Additionally, tadalafil treatment did not increase the survival rate of septic rats.Conclusions: Tadalafil improved microcirculation of septic animals; however, no beneficial effects were observed on macrocirculation and inflammation parameters. Then, the potential benefit of tadalafil in the prognosis of sepsis should be evaluated within a therapeutic strategy covering all sepsis injury mechanisms.

Authors: Lim Sung Yoon , Woo Ho Geol , Park Jong Sun , Cho Young-Jae , Lee Jae Ho , Lee Yeon Joo
Published: February 2025

Background: Residents and nurses who activate rapid response teams (RRTs) are well positioned to offer insights on its effectiveness. Here, we assess such evaluation of RRTs and identify barriers to activation in a 1,400-bed teaching hospital.Methods: We conducted a 24-item Likert-scale survey from January to May 2017 among residents and ward nurses with RRT experience. Factor analysis was used to identify the barriers.Results: This study comprised 305 nurses and 53 residents, most of whom were satisfied with their RRT experiences. Factor analysis showed that lack of awareness of activation criteria was a major barrier, with only 21.4% and 22.2% participants, respectively, confident about their knowledge of activation protocols. Of the survey respondents, 85.7% reported first contacting the doctor before activating the RRT. Despite the protocol, 66.7% first discussed the decision with other staff, and 71.5% called the RRT when the patient’s condition worsened despite management.Conclusions: Nurses and residents value RRTs but face barriers in initiation, primarily due to a lack of confidence in applying the activation criteria. Many prefer to consult a doctor or manage the patient before calling the RRT.

Published: February 2025

As advancements in antiretroviral therapy (ART) have transformed
HIV into a manageable chronic condition, the long-term health of
people living with HIV (PLWHIV) has become a critical focus. One
vital aspect of this is bone health, which is frequently compromised
in this population. Studies indicate that bone fractures tend to
occur approximately 10 years earlier in PLWHIV compared to HIVnegative individuals, highlighting the accelerated impact of bone
demineralisation in this group [1]. Therefore, a comprehensive
care plan is imperative for PLWHIV to prevent and mitigate the
risk of bone-related diseases.

The Anglican Church and Issues of Polygamy in the Niger Delta: A Historical Analysis
Authors: Onu Ben O.
Published: February 2025

Marriage is a divine institution and a universal phenomenon that is expressed culturally. When missionaries reached the Niger Delta region of Nigeria through Samuel Ajayi Crowther of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in 186, the issue of Christian marriage as opposed to polygamy posed a challenge in the early years of the Anglican Church. The crux of this paper is an analysis of the problem of marriage in the Anglican Church and how the issues were handled. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources and the methods adopted were historical and descriptive. The primary sources included participant observation methods. Findings revealed that the dynamism in the teachings, persuasions, prayers, tolerance, and legislations adopted by the missionaries coupled with a great understanding of scriptural and social importance of monogamy, multiplicity of new groups, and modernism favoured the increase in Christian marriage in the Niger Delta mission. The paper therefore recommended that attention should be given to primary counseling and communities to be engaged in conversations about marriage for sustainability of the increase in marriage under the ordinance in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
The Autonomy of Baptist Local Churches and its Implications
Authors: Akintoye Babalola-Jacobs
Published: February 2025

The question of local church autonomy has always been critical to the issue of church administration and governance as local churches are often time subjected to the obnoxious control of external ecclesiastical authorities. This study aims at examining the autonomy of Baptist local churches from historical and biblical perspectives and the implications for the church, particularly in terms of its leadership/governance and relationship with others. The study is carried out using the historical and analytical methods. The study establishes that the autonomy of local churches has biblical basis and there are numerous documents of the Baptist Convention that have since gazetted the autonomy of the local church in line with the biblical principle. However, the study noted that some of the members of the church abuse the use of their church autonomy because there is no greater body to which they are accountable. It recommends therefore, that while the autonomy of the local church should be upheld for effective administration that reflects democratic principles, there should be internal mechanisms to check the tendencies of members to abuse their local autonomy, particularly in mistreating the clergy in charge of the local church.

Authors: Yakubu Bello Musa , Bumrungsri Worapong , Bhattarakosol Pattarasinee
Published: February 2025

In modern life, the easy access to the internet and social media has become almost essential. Although online social media channels are good means of communication, their frequency of cyberbullying and harassment creates problems as well. On these sites, cyberbullying takes many forms that cause targeted victims to experience anxiety, guilt, and despair. With an eye on demographic factors and personal experiences of victimizing, this study explores the degree and impressions of cyberbullying within a Thai sample community. By means of a thorough questionnaire survey, important new perspectives on respondents’ awareness of cyberbullying, its underlying causes, and coping mechanisms for such events were obtained. Analyzing demographic data in tandem with cyberbullying experiences found a clear correlation between social media use length and the likelihood of running into cyberbullying. Moreover, the work suggests the creation of a customized natural language processing system specifically designed to identify Thai language cyberbullying events, therefore attaining an interesting accuracy rate of 84.23%. The study also points out the possible market chances for commercializing this method, implying it may be a profitable investment. These results provide a fresh understanding of language processing strategies for efficient content analysis on several internet platforms.

Bošnjaci u devetnaestom vijeku – Izazov modernosti / Bosniaks in the Nineteenth Century – The Challenge of Modernity
Authors: Jakupović Neven
Published: February 2025

In this paper, an attempt is simultaneously made to inductively present the Bosniak response to the challenges of modernity, as indicated in his study by Prof. Fikret Karčić, with which no new history, national or state, was written, but an effort was made to shed light on one aspect of that history. Precisely on the principles of European historical and legal science, through a deductive approach, an attempt is made to follow the development of science and the way of analyzing various social phenomena in Europe in the nineteenth century, and one segment of this is the national history of Bosniaks and Bosnia in this period. Methodologically, historical-legal, comparative legal, dialectical (sociological) and dogmatic methods were used, individually and in their various combinations and variants. Certain conclusions were formulated, where it is first of all claimed that the tectonic changes experienced by the Bosniak people resulted in their full equal inclusion in the European political currents at an accelerated pace, although this participation is still tried to be minorized today.

Making use of time and space: using African Red Slip Ware as an indicator of economic activity in Mid- and Late Roman Thespiae and Tanagra
Authors: Peeters Dean , Bes Philip M. , Poblome Jeroen , Bintliff John L.
Published: February 2025

This paper uses the (differential) presence of African Red Slip Ware (ARSW) that was collected in Thespiae, Tanagra and its hinterlands by the Boeotia Project as a basis to explore Late Antique exchange networks. The presence of this Tunisian tableware on Boeotian soil exhibits some differences in space and time. Whereas the surface collections from Tanagra, a city in south-eastern Boeotia with easy access to the Aegean, illustrate that relatively late forms of ARSW (sixth-seventh centuries) were also distributed and consumed in the area, the collections from Thespiae are dominated by early forms along Hayes and Bonifay’s typo-chronology. The same appears true for the respective hinterlands of these cities, while some larger non-urban sites, including Askra, only see the presence of minute numbers of ARSW. These trends in ARSW do not stand on their own, but illustrate the complex and diverse character of networks of interaction and accompanying ceramic distributions.
From Neapolis’ harbour to the Apennines: coast-hinterland dynamics in
AD 472 Campania
Authors: De Simone Girolamo Ferdinando , Martucci Caterina Serena
Published: February 2025

This contribution uses the evidence from the Late Antique pottery assemblages from the Neapolitan coast to the proximal Apennines, in order to recreate the trade flows and the economic model which can be inferred from them. The paper first describes the geographic setting and the chronological framework, then analyses the pottery circulating in Neapolis and its hinterland in Late Antiquity, providing an overview of the published assemblages. For each class, this paper provides the fabrics’ visual and archaeometric characteristics, typology and distribution through quantitative analysis of pottery classes. The discussion highlights on the one hand the considerable reduction in imports (among which African fineware still plays a prominent role), and on the other the substantial increase in regional productions, with several workshops scattered in the Vesuvian countryside and exchange towards the Apennines.
To change or to exchange? The formation of ceramic landscapes in Neolithic Thessaly (Greece)
Authors: Pentedeka Areti
Published: February 2025

Thessaly, situated in the heart of the Greek mainland, comprises a diverse landscape, and was densely populated during the Neolithic period, the majority of settlements forming tells. A rich and rather uniform pottery production characterises the entire region throughout the Neolithic period, while, until recently, this uniformity was not discussed within the scope of exchange or other connectivity aspects. Extensive archaeometric analysis on a large ceramic sample-set, including both coarse- and finewares deriving from numerous Neolithic settlements in Thessaly, yielded remarkable results regarding potting traditions and regional connectivity. The detection of a) different production centres, most frequently ware-specific, b) the parallel activity of different exchange networks, and c) the variability of distribution patterns of the pottery produced, have significant connotations for the unravelling of the complex relations developed between settlements situated in different micro-environments and the recognition of inter-regional diversification in Thessaly.
Tracing the mundane: circulation of Coarse Cream Ware in Central Italy between the sixth and fourth centuries BC
Authors: Lami Martina Revello
Published: February 2025

Household pottery in archaeology tends to remain in the realm of ‘multifunctionality’. This is a position that a priori excludes a possible connection between mundane wares and specific uses, and hence between mundane wares and specific market demands. In this respect, Impasto Chiaro Sabbioso or Coarse Cream Ware (CCW) provides an exemplary case study in order to question such an assumption. In this chapter, I first discuss the widespread distribution of these vessels across Lazio, Etruria and beyond during the Archaic period, to locate their possible production centres and reconstruct their travel routes. I then consider more closely the specific functional properties of CCW bowls and basins to assess their main uses. In doing so, I will try to outline the role played by this ware class within the Tyrrhenian trade and the dynamics of its extensive circulation.
Connectivity vs. Insularity: reading the ceramic record from Early Iron Age Cyprus
Authors: Leriou Anastasia
Published: February 2025

The Early Iron Age material culture of Cyprus remains disconnected from its broader eastern Mediterranean context, primarily due to limited archaeological evidence exchange. This oversight understates the island’s relationships within the eastern Mediterranean maritime network. To bridge this gap, network analysis, a tool from social sciences, offers a solution. By representing research subjects as vertices and their relationships as ties, network analysis unveils complex patterns beyond traditional analysis methods. Applying this approach to Early Iron Age Cypriot ceramics promises to reveal stylistic consistencies and trade networks, advancing our understanding of the region’s cultural interactions. This methodology represents a crucial next step in comprehending Cyprus’ role in the broader eastern Mediterranean landscape.
Epistemic Practices and Plant Classification in Premodern European Botanical Knowledge
Authors: Baldassarri Fabrizio
Published: February 2025

This volume aims to uncover the diverse approach to plants in the Renaissance and seventeenth century that paved the way for a definition of botany as a fully-fledged discipline. Its scope expands beyond the natural historical interest in collections and the fabrication of materia medica: moving from Varchi, Matthioli and Bauhin to Locke, Pinelli, and Linnaeus, among others, the contributions collected here connect practical and theoretical features, dealing with the challenges that characterized any involvement with plants. The authors focus on the linguistic shortcomings, problems in authenticating specimens, and efforts to establish new botanical geographies to favour trades, as well as the pursuits of new methodologies, artisanal technologies, and chymical experiments with plants. Botany thus emerges as a suitable discipline to disclose the complexities and challenges of early modern science in general.
On the path to classification: the “method” for grouping plants in the late Renaissance (1570–1600)1
Authors: Selosse Philippe
Published: February 2025

During the Renaissance, physicians and botanists conceived of a model for a method for classifying plants, which remained a reference for a century. However, in keeping with the practice of this period, they never or rarely explained the method they applied to classification. This chapter aims to shed light on this method and the epistemic structure underlying it by studying the neo-Latin botanical nomenclature according to Pierre Pena and Matthias de Lobel’s short foreword to Nova Stirpium Adversaria, and Caspar Bauhin’s unknown prefatory note—here translated in English in the appendix—on the method used by Greek physician Dioscorides.

Exploring the relationships between Electron Spin Resonance (ESR)/Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) properties and trace element composition in various quartz-bearing bedrocks (Strengbach catchment, Vosges)

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Quartz Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) and Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) offer valuable quantitative tools both for Quaternary sediment dating but also for understanding sediment provenance and dynamics. However, the variability of quartz sensitivity remains an issue, attributed either to the intrinsic properties of source bedrock, to processes during sediment transport and deposition, or to both. This study addresses these questions by investigating quartz from magmatic, metamorphic, and sedimentary formations in the Strengbach catchment (Vosges Massif, France). Using a combination of ESR, OSL, and LA-ICPMS trace element analyses, our study reveals significant relationships between quartz OSL/ESR sensitivities and source bedrock characteristics, such as lithology, crystallization conditions, and deformation histories. ESR Ti-centre and OSL signals are notably influenced by trace elements like Al, Li, and Ti. Samples that underwent high pressure during metamorphism along with those located in the tectonic shear zone show both lowest OSL and ESR intensities, while higher sensitivities are observed in plutonic rocks and sandstones. This suggests that (i) pressure can be one of the prevailing factors driving changes in OSL/ESR sensitivities (ii) enhanced OSL sensitivity in mature and recycled sediments underscores the impact of sedimentary transport and reworking. Our results highlight the need for careful interpretation of ESR and OSL signals, both for dating or sourcing, particularly in sediments derived from metamorphic terrains.
A Novel Identification Method for Stratospheric Gravity Waves in Nadir Viewing Satellite Observations
Authors: Berthelemy Peter G. , Wright Corwin J. , Hindley Neil P. , Noble Phoebe E. , Hoffmann Lars
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) are an important mechanism for vertical transport of energy and momentum through the atmosphere. Their impacts are apparent at all scales including aviation, weather, and climate. Identifying stratospheric GWs from satellite observations is challenging due to instrument noise and effects of weather processes, but they can be observed from nadir sounders such as the AIRS instrument onboard Aqua. Here, a new method (hereafter ‘neighbourhood method”) to detect GW information is presented and applied to AIRS data. We describe the concept of the neighbourhood method and use it to investigate GW amplitudes, zonal pseudomomentum fluxes, and vertical wavelengths over 5 years of AIRS data. We compare these results to those calculated from GWs detected using another widely used method based on a defined amplitude cutoff. The neighbourhood method reveals GW patterns in seasonal means that are not visible when using the amplitude cutoff method. Time series analysis suggests that GWs have a larger impact than was previously analysed from the amplitude cutoff detection method. ∼ 25 % of waves detected using the neighbourhood method have amplitudes lower than is visible using the amplitude cutoff method. Three regions are studied in greater depth: the Rocky Mountains, North Africa, and New Zealand/Tasmania. GWs detected using the neighbourhood method have realistic wave phase propagation angles, which are consistent with surface-levels winds from ERA5 climatological reanalyses. Using the neighbourhood method produces new statistics for regional and global GW studies, which compares favourably to the amplitude cutoff GW detection method.
Electron spin dynamics during microwave pulses studied by 94 GHz chirp and phase-modulated EPR experiments
Authors: Lenjer Marvin , Wili Nino , Hecker Fabian , Bennati Marina
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Electron spin dynamics during microwave irradiation are of increasing interest in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, as locking electron spins into a dressed state finds applications in EPR and dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) experiments. Here, we show that these dynamics can be probed by modern pulsed EPR experiments that use arbitrary waveform generators to produce shaped microwave pulses. We employ phase-modulated pulses to measure Rabi nutations, echoes, and echo decays during spin locking of a BDPA (1,3-bisdiphenylene-2-phenylallyl) radical at 94 GHz EPR frequency. Depending on the initial state of magnetization, different types of echoes are observed. We analyze these distinct coherence transfer pathways and measure the decoherence time T2ρ, which is a factor of 2–3 times longer than Tm. Furthermore, we use chirped Fourier transform EPR to detect the evolution of magnetization profiles. Our experimental results are well reproduced using a simple density matrix model that accounts for T2ρ relaxation in the spin lock (tilted) frame. The results provide a starting point for optimizing EPR experiments based on hole burning, such as electron–nuclear double resonance or ELectron–electron DOuble Resonance (ELDOR)-detected NMR.
An integrated method for assessing vulnerability of buildings caused by debris flows in mountainous areas
Authors: Qiu Chenchen , Geng Xueyu
Published: February 2025

Abstract. The vulnerability assessment of buildings in future scenarios is critical to decreasing potential losses caused by debris flows in mountainous areas due to complex topographical conditions that could increase environmental vulnerability to climate change. However, a lack of reliable methods limits the accurate estimation of a physical damage and the associated economic loss. Therefore, an integrated method of physical vulnerability matrix and machine learning model was developed to benefit the estimation of damage degree for buildings caused by a future debris-flow event. By considering the building structures (reinforced-concrete (RC) frame and non-RC frame), spatial positions between buildings and the debris-flow channels (horizontal distance (HD) and vertical distance (VD)), and impact pressure (Pt) on buildings, a physical vulnerability matrix was proposed that links physical damage with the four factors. In order to overcome the difficulty in estimating the possible impact pressure on buildings, an ensemble machine learning (ML) model (XGBoost) was developed with the involvement of geological factors. Additionally, HD and VD were decided based on satellite images. The Longxihe Basin, Sichuan, China, was selected as a case study. The results show that the ML model can achieve a reliable impact pressure prediction because the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE) values are 9.53 %, 3.78 kPa, and 2.47 kPa, respectively. Furthermore, 13.9 % of buildings in the Longxihe Basin may suffer severe damage caused by a future debris-flow event, and the highest economic loss is found for a residential building, reaching EUR 5.1×105. Overall, our work can provide scientific support for the site selection of future constructions.

The article proposes a mathematical model for validation of messages of automatic dependent surveillance of broadcasting type (ADS-B). The relevance of the study is due to the growing requirements for the security and reliability of information systems, as well as the need to ensure the integrity and reliability of transmitted information in the context of modern threats. The paper presents the main components of the model, including information sources, data transmission channels and error detection mechanisms. The proposed model describes the processes occurring in the ADS-B systems, taking into account artificial and natural interference that affects the reliability of surveillance information, allows you to predict the actions of intruders trying to violate the integrity of the ADS-B systems, and to predict the operation of the ADS-B system under interference, provides the possibility of developing effective methods to validate ADS-B messages in the terminal area. Thus, the presented mathematical model for validating ADS-B messages serves as an important step towards improving the reliability of information systems and protecting critical information from unauthorized access and distortion.

The study addresses the spatiotemporal variability of the wind wave frequency spectra in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Using the WAVEWATCH III model, a database of the spectra for the period from 1983 to 2020 with a time step of 3 hours on an irregular high-resolution computational grid has been created. To describe the variability of the spectra, a classification system consisting of 23 classes differing in peak frequency and spectral density has been developed. Each spectrum in the database is assigned to one of the classes. It has been found out that the class with the lowest spectral density predominates throughout the entire Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, but the percentage of this class varies depending on a region. The second and third most frequent classes also have a low spectral density (to 1 m2/Hz) and differ depending on the location of an analyzed point. On average, the Sea of Azov is characterized by spectra with a higher maximum frequency of the spectral peak as compared to those of the Black Sea. Interannual variability in the frequency of wave classes has varying spatial variance without any significant trends.

It is known that the creation of dictionaries requires years of diligent and consistent work, which in turn creates grounds for the creation of new words, new meaning usage of existing words that cannot be included in the given dictionary. Sometimes it is not possible to find foreign versions of a new Armenian word in any paper or online dictionary, because the words included in them are taken from dictionaries downloaded on the Internet, but published earlier. Because of this, in modern times, writing a dictionary only on paper, in the traditional version, may be out of date even at the time of printing. In the article, an attempt was made to show that the effective option is the creation of a new online dictionary, which will be regularly updated by the compilers.
Two Decades of Emoticons and Emojis in Consumer Behavior Research: Bibliometric Networks, Geographical Atlas and Classical Roots
Authors: Mohamed Mostafa
Published: February 2025

Emoticons and emojis research have recently witnessed exponential growth. In this article, 261 Scopus peer-reviewed articles related to emoticons and emojis in consumer research are examined using bibliometric techniques. The articles were written by 762 authors from 47 countries over two decades (2000–2023). By so doing, emoticons and emojis research influential authors and journals, emerging trends, collaboration networks, and historical roots are scrutinized. Our findings show that the most relevant outlets publishing Emoticons and emojis research are Food Quality and Preference, Food Research International, Journal of Sensory Studies, Frontiers in Psychology, and Computers in Human Behavior. Thematic evolution analysis revealed a move away from the well-established emoticons and emojis research themes like “microblog” and “emoticon” to new topics such as “consumer/customer engagement” and “natural language processing”. Results also show that there is limited cross-cultural collaboration in emoticons and emojis research. Finally, the “citation classics” of emoticons and emojis research are detected using the reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS).
O PROJETO POLÍTICO-PEDAGÓGICO COMO INSTRUMENTO DE CONSTRUÇÃO DA ESCOLA DO CAMPO
Authors: Oliveira Ana Elisa Antunes de , Moura Terciana Vidal
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo apresenta um recorte da pesquisa desenvolvida no âmbito do Mestrado Profissional em Educação do Campo da Universidade Federal do Recôncavo da Bahia. A investigação surge ao identificar que a escola reconhecida pelas diretrizes como Escola do Campo mantinha seu Projeto Político-Pedagógico (PPP) sem nenhuma relação com a realidade camponesa. Teve como objetivo contribuir com a ressignificação do PPP, tendo como pilares a incorporação dos saberes e fazeres camponeses. Utilizamos como instrumentos para leitura e problematização da realidade observação participante, análise documental, aplicação de questionário, Círculo de Cultura e roda de conversa. A pesquisa aponta que, mesmo estando a Escola do Campo instituída nos moldes regulares, é possível a construção de práticas pedagógicas emancipatórias, onde as especificidades dos sujeitos do campo sejam determinantes na construção de um PPP que se constitua como instrumento de luta e norteador das práticas educativas.

Health is a fundamental human right and one of the objectives of the state's
health policy is its realization. Global healthcare has advanced significantly in the
last several years, with improvements in early childhood mortality, vaccine and
medication accessibility, and other areas.
In the twenty-first century, new strategies and financial commitments are
needed to address the issues of development and health care. Increasing the
availability of services is necessary due to a number of factors, including changing
demographics, an aging population, the spread of chronic diseases, the complication
of diseases, the rise in patient demands, and the development of deep specialization
and new medical technologies.

Intersections of Pell, Pell-Lucas Numbers and Sums of Two Jacobsthal Numbers
Authors: Gaber Ahmed
Published: February 2025

We use tools from Baker’s linear forms theory to solve the two Diophantine equations Pk = Jn + Jm and Qk = Jn + Jm where {Pk}k≥0, {Qk}k≥0 and {Jk}k≥0 are the sequences of Pell, Pell-Lucas and Jacobsthal numbers, respectively. The strategy depends mainly on the properties of the three sequences and Matveev’s inequality which is an indispensable tool in the theory of linear forms. Also, we employ an inequality due to A. Dujella and A. Peth¨o to reduce the too large bounds obtained by Matveev’s theorem.
