O desenvolvimento de programas de melhoramento genético com morangueiro, que considerem a adaptação local dos novos materiais como fator, é de grande importância. Nesse sentido, a Epamig Norte formou um banco de germoplasma de morangueiro com objetivo de desenvolver novas variedades adaptadas ao clima da região, para beneficiamento da agricultura local. A análise da diversidade genética do germoplasma é um dos importantes passos para desenvolvimento e sucesso de programas de melhoramento. Deste modo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a diversidade genética de progênies de morango, produzidas por cruzamentos dialélicos na Epamig Norte, na região Norte do estado de Minas Gerais. Foram utilizadas seis cultivares comerciais do morango para os cruzamentos (Toyonoka, Sweet Charlie, Camino Real, Oso Grande, Dover e Aleluia). As análises foram feitas utilizando folhas completamente expandidas de 37 progênies, com a extração de DNA e em seguida PCR. Para a análise da diversidade genética foi feito a partir de bandas polimórficas e visualizada sua a formação de grupos em um dendrograma obtido pelo método UPGMA, utilizando-se o complemento aritmético do índice de Jaccard como medida de dissimilaridade. Como resultados, o dendrograma com o corte na escala de 0,87, formou de doze grupos distintos. Em alguns grupos observou-se a presença dos genitores com suas progênies, entretanto esta não foi uma regra. Os resultados demonstraram que foi possível detectar divergência genética entre as progênies do morangueiro. A caracterização genética das progênies permitirá desenvolver novas estratégias de melhoramento para incorporar mais diversidade genética em novas cultivares.

A analise da dinâmica da cobertura do solo fornece informações essenciais para seleção de práticas conservacionistas voltsadas para o desenvolvimento sustentável. O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar a dinâmica espacial e temporal da cobertura do solo na microbacia e zona ripária do rio Engraçado (RO). Foram utilizadas imagens do projeto MapBiomas (1985, 1998, 2008 e 2022) e o software QGIS 3.28.9. Em 1985, a cobertura do solo da microbacia (7,04 km2) e da zona ripária (1,48 km2) era constituída principalmente por pastagem (59,66% e 44,59%, respectivamente) e formação florestal (39,49% e 52,02%, respectivamente). Após 37 anos (1985 a 2022) foi observado principalmente a redução da área de pastagem (4,20 km2 para 0,82 km2) e o aumento da área de soja (3,39 km2;) na microbacia, enquanto na zona ripária ocorreu o aumento das áreas de soja (0,14 km2;) e formação florestal (0,77 km2 para 0,87 km2;), e redução da área de pastagem (0,66 km2 para 0,42 km2). Conclui-se que a supressão excessiva da vegetação nativa na microbacia e o avanço da agropecuária na zona ripária tende a reduzir a disponibilidade de água, tornando a microbacia suscetível à escassez hídrica (período de estiagem), comprometendo o desenvolvimento sustentável. Para mitigar este problema recomenda-se a adoção práticas conservacionistas vegetativas, mecânicas e edáficas.

Folklore Made Me Disabled: Integrating Disability Studies into Folklore Research
Authors: Milbrodt Teresa
Published: July 2024

Persons outside of disability communities often have negative perceptions of disabilities, yet such beliefs may create more problems for people with disabilities than the disability itself. Folklore produced in disability communities can serve as a reaction to those misconceptions and can allow us to better understand what disability means to disabled individuals and how it affects their ways of being and interpreting the world. Folklorists undertaking such research must approach collaborators with respect, care, and background knowledge so they don't risk reproducing harmful stereotypes. Through this disability studies lens, folklorists have an opportunity to build on and complicate our understanding of disability experiences through exploring how disabled people use folklore to (re)present their identities.
The Lake Effect: Lake Michigan, Landscape Evolution, and the Archaeological Record of the Chicago Region
Authors: Tolmie Clare , Lambert John M.
Published: July 2024

Lake Michigan continues to have a major impact on the environment in the Chicago region, and changes in lake levels were a major driver of landscape evolution throughout the late Pleistocene and Holocene. Fluctuating lake levels reduced or increased the extent and character of terrestrial resources. The landscape has also been altered by erosional and aggradational processes from near-shore currents and wave action. Interpretation of archaeological site and settlement patterns in this region requires an understanding of the factors that have shaped and continue to shape this landscape. In the PaleoIndigenous and Archaic periods, foraging groups adapted to rapidly changing vegetation patterns and episodes of lake transgression and recession that opened or closed new habitats. In the Woodland and Upper Mississippian periods, lake levels stabilized, but the landscape continued to evolve, with erosion and deposition of sediments along Lake Michigan shorelines. Evidence for lake-level fluctuations over the last 12,000 years is available from a variety of data sets, including those for deep lacustrine sediments, ostracods, abandoned shorelines, and sand dunes. By synthesizing these data and utilizing GIS to reconstruct past lakeshores, we seek to better understand how people interacted with and adjusted to this dynamic landscape.

Published: July 2024

Patient safety is a critical aspect of healthcare, and nurses' knowledge and attitudes play a vital role in ensuring safety standards are maintained. Understanding the factors influencing nurses' knowledge and attitudes can help develop strategies to improve patient safety. Objective: To assess nurses’ knowledge and attitudes regarding patient safety and identify factors influencing these aspects. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Nursing Department of a tertiary care hospital from May 2023 to May 2024. A total of 330 full-time nurses were included in the study. Data were collected using a pre-tested 53-item questionnaire available in both English and Urdu. The questionnaire comprised four sections: demographics (age, sex, qualification, and work experience), knowledge about patient safety, attitudes toward patient safety, and factors associated with knowledge and attitude. Statistical analysis was performed to identify factors significantly associated with good knowledge and attitudes, with a p-value of <0.05 considered significant. Results: Regarding patient safety knowledge, 49% of nurses had good knowledge, with a mean score of 67.2%. The mean attitude score was 62.4%, and 57% (95% CI: 52.6-60) of participants demonstrated good attitudes towards patient safety. Factors significantly associated with good knowledge included age, qualification, work experience, and prior education and training about patient safety (p<0.05). Age and previous education and training about patient safety were significantly associated with good attitude (p≤0.05). Conclusion: The study revealed that while nurses exhibited moderate knowledge, their attitudes toward patient safety were generally favorable. More years of work experience, higher education, and training significantly contributed to better knowledge and attitudes. Implementing targeted educational and training programs can further enhance nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward patient safety.

By exploring the sustainable development strategy in urban planning, people can promote the balanced development of economy, society, and environment, and realize the long-term sustainable development goal of cities.
A used sailboat pricing model based on multiple linear regression
Authors: Li Qiman , Zhang Zhiyong
Published: July 2024

The value of sailboats varies depending on the region and market conditions. Brokers need a better understanding of the sailboat market and make informed decisions to mitigate potential risks. To address these issues, this paper employs methods of multiple linear regression analysis and the grey correlation forecasting method. By utilizing data analysis techniques, a commonly used sailboat pricing model is established. Specifically, we first preprocess the given dataset and encode the processed data for subsequent model use. Additionally, the paper selects the three most influential factors on the pricing model: length, make, and year, and employs the method of independent weighting coefficients for multiple linear regression analysis calculation. Furthermore, we analyze the regional impact on listing prices of used sailboats. Based on these analyses, the proposed model can provide data analysis and sales recommendation reports for brokers. Lastly, the model proposed in this paper demonstrates strong accuracy and robustness, making it easy to implement with other datasets.
Deep reinforcement learning for stock prediction
Authors: Wang Mingkai
Published: July 2024

Due to its chaotic and high volatility character, as well as many other uncertainties from reality, predicting the price of stock market is always a challenging goal to achieve. Due to those characteristics mentioned above, it could be regarded as a classification problem, and then many methods using different machine learning tools could be well applied to solve the challenging problem. Within these methods, deep neural network is a popular and highly noticed one in recent years. This is mainly because of its unique advantages compared to the more conventional machine learning methods, the highly complex nonlienearity and deep nonlinear topologies, to appropriately describe the complex situations. Later, after adding advantages of reinforcement learning to enable the model of the advantages to improve feature dimensions, the deep reinforcement learning method is well proposed to improve the performance. Deep reinforcement learning is a method to combine the advantages of deep learning and the advantages of reinforcement learning, and this paper will discuss its characters and advantages, and finally talk about its limitations and future development.

Novel five-level inverter based on DC power-capacitor series charge-discharge switching strategy
Authors: Hou Yixuan
Published: July 2024

Photovoltaic power generation systems generally include four modules: solar cells, batteries, inverters and controllers. Among them, the inverter converts the direct current generated by the photovoltaic array into a power conversion device that meets the grid-connected requirements for industrial frequency alternating current, which is the key equipment for grid-connected photovoltaic power generation system. Most multilevel inverters in the market today are based on the Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) structure to generate voltages at different levels, and then control the magnitude and direction of the voltages through H-bridge circuits. This topology has been maturely used in three-level inverters, but if we want to build five-level, seven-level and more level numbers of inverters based on NPC, the number of capacitors used is increasing, and the circuit becomes more and more complex. Therefore, this paper proposes a five-level inverter topology based on single power supply-single capacitor series charging and discharging. (Power-capacitor series charge-discharge switching, PCSCDS). This inverter has a simple structure, comprehensible control strategy and requires only one DC power supply and one large capacitor to generate a five-level voltage. The topology is subsequently simulated and analyzed by MATLAB/Simulink simulation, which proves the effectiveness of the novel inverter.

Contraceptive use in the Gaza Strip: A systematic review
Authors: LaGore Albany , Kridli Suha , Piscotty Ronald
Published: July 2024

Background: Between 2017-2019, the average total fertility rate in Gaza was 3.9 births per woman, which is significantly higher than the average global total fertility rate at 2.4 births per woman in 2018. Reliable family planning methods allow women and men to avoid unintended pregnancies and reduce maternal mortality. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine what is known about contraceptive use in the Gaza Strip, including: 1) common contraceptive methods used, 2) access to contraceptive services, and 3) barriers impacting family planning services.Methods: The review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Articles published in the English language within the last 10 years (2013 to 2023) were screened from the following databases: CINAHL, PubMed, and Google Scholar.Results: Seven articles were included in the final analysis. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was found to be the main family planning service provider in the Gaza Strip (61%). Intrauterine devices (35.4%) were found to be the main method of contraception. Factors identified that impact contraceptive use included: 1) access to contraceptives, 2) cultural beliefs, 3) demographic characteristics (e.g., occupation and education), and 4) healthcare provider (HCP) and system influence. The restriction of goods into the Gaza Strip continues to impact contraceptive accessibility. Educational interventions should focus on addressing contraceptive misconceptions among Gazan women and HCPs while giving special attention to cultural beliefs (e.g., desire for several children) and demographic characteristics, specifically relating to occupation and education status.Conclusion: Unintended pregnancies are preventable through the effective use of contraceptives. Future studies should prioritize interventions aimed at overcoming barriers to contraceptive use in the Gaza Strip, thereby promoting and safeguarding Gazan individuals' ability to exercise their reproductive health rights freely.

Authors: Feitosa Kézia de Lira , Salcedo Diego Andres
Published: July 2024

Objetivo: Propor um padrão de descritores para a representação da informação de selos postais comemorativos brasileiros. Metodologia: Revisão bibliográfica a partir de artigos científicos, dissertações e teses extraídos da BRAPCI e da Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações. Utilizou como critérios iniciais tanto uma amostra 31 Catálogos de Selos do Brasil da editora Rolf Harold Meyer publicados entre 1975 e 2019, quanto textos especializados de um bibliófilo filatélico de Recife. Analisou os padrões Dublin Core e da Norma Brasileira de Descrição Arquivística enquanto diretrizes filatélicas. Resultados: Identificou aspectos históricos, bibliográficos, biobibliográficos e transformações das edições dos catálogos, bem como o contínuo aperfeiçoamento de categorias temático-descritivas para a documentação filatélica brasileira. Após análise detalhada propõe um conjunto de 18 descritores para a representação de selos postais comemorativos. Conclusões: A pesquisa, além de ser inédita, indica que os padrões propostos também servem para emissões de selos postais comemorativos de outras unidades políticas. O estudo ratifica que o selo postal, considerado documento filatélico ou tratado como documento postal, cabe como objeto científico em diversas e distintas áreas. Tratado como recurso informacional pode ser utilizado em projetos e práticas que articulem ações de pesquisa, ensino, extensão e cultura.

Published: July 2024

Objetivo: descrever como o tesauro e a ontologia podem atuar em mecanismos de busca para organização do conhecimento por meio do uso integrado de seus elementos estruturais. Metodologia: foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa de caráter exploratório baseada em revisão bibliográfica na Ciência da Informação para descrever o tesauro e a ontologia enquanto sistemas de organização do conhecimento para posterior discussão de sua integração na representação do conhecimento. Resultados: por meio dos levantamentos realizados foram identificadas ações vinculadas ao uso integrado do tesauro e ontologia na representação do conhecimento em mecanismos de busca para fins de desambiguação, refinamento de relações conceituais e reuso de estruturas. Conclusões: a integração de elementos estruturais do tesauro e da ontologia viabiliza a qualificação da organização do conhecimento em mecanismos de busca, uma vez que o tesauro adiciona trabalho terminológico à ontologia com o uso dos termos descritores e a ontologia viabiliza o refinamento das relações conceituais trazendo efetividade à representação do conhecimento.

Published: July 2024

Objetivo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo geral analisar as correlações entre a Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD) e cenários de utilização de dados ligados. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, em que se utiliza de referências bibliográficas, documentais, além de normas jurídicas. Em um primeiro momento, fez-se uma revisão de literatura composta de três subseções: as duas primeiras analisaram o surgimento, o funcionamento e exemplos de uso dos dados ligados, enquanto a última subseção pesquisou o surgimento e a estrutura da LGPD. Posteriormente, foram analisadas as principais regras da referida lei aplicáveis a alguns cenários de uso de dados ligados, sob a perspectiva das fases do Ciclo de Vida de Dados: coleta, armazenamento, recuperação e descarte. Resultados: Percebeu-se que a complexidade desses sistemas é um desafio tecnológico diante da necessidade de se respeitar a lei e conservar a privacidade dos indivíduos. Nesse sentido, o conhecimento dessa nova norma e sua adaptação às organizações também são dilemas a serem superados. Conclusões: Logo, entendeu-se que a aplicabilidade da LGPD a cenários de dados ligados é variada, exigindo um trabalho de diversos atores profissionais e científicos para que empresas e instituições em geral possam se adequar às suas regras.

Published: July 2024

O Programa Residência Pedagógica (PRP) tem como um de seus principais objetivos a valorização da escola como espaço privilegiado de produção de conhecimentos específicos e a indissociabilidade entre teoria e prática na formação docente. Neste artigo, objetiva-se analisar as contribuições desse programa para a formação de futuros professores alfabetizadores, com foco na construção de conhecimentos e nas práticas de ensino da alfabetização vivenciadas pelos residentes do curso de Pedagogia da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE), por meio da articulação entre a formação inicial e a continuada dos professores preceptores. Os resultados revelam que o PRP, como programa deformação docente, oportunizou reflexões e construções de práticas de ensino e aprendizagem em sala de aula, as quais envolveram o conhecimento acerca do Sistema Alfabético de Escrita de forma inovadora e transformadora. Destaca-se a identificação dos conhecimentos dos alfabetizandos sobre a escrita, a organização do trabalho pedagógico a partir do desenvolvimento das atividades no cotidiano escolar e da atenção para a diversidade de conhecimento dos estudantes sobre a escrita, o que contribui para a reflexão sobre o conhecimento acerca do fazer docente dos(das) residentes e preceptoras e, ainda, para a construção da identidade profissional do(a) professor(a) alfabetizador.

Published: July 2024

The process of distributing electricity from power plants to consumers always experiences loss of energy or power losses. Power losses are unavoidable in the distribution network system and if it exceeds the percentage it will harm the distribution network system manager in terms of power or energy distribution. There are two types of shrinkage in the electric power system, namely technical and non-technical shrinkage. Technical depreciation is depreciation that occurs as a result of impedance on generation equipment and distribution equipment in transmission and distribution so that there is lost power. This research is Survey Research, where no changes are made or there is no special treatment of the variables studied. The types of data needed to analyze this calculation are: SLD data, transformer capacity, transformer load, channel length data, conductor type and capacity. The variable used in analyzing the results of this study is the power losses in the Upper Tantui penyulang. Based on the simulation results and also the analysis of the power losses on the Upper Tantui repeater, it can be concluded that the value of power losses during WBP conditions is still in normal conditions, which is below the SPLN standard of 5%, while in the installed load conditions the value of power losses has exceeded the normal limit according to SPLN standards, which is above 5%, where in the installed load conditions the value of power losses has reached 5.48%.
