Published: December 2024

The importance of an irrigation regime is that it enables the irrigator to apply the exact amount of water to achieve optimum production and minimize adverse environmental impact. In the study area, the amount of irrigation and the frequency of application are not well determined, and the farmers are unaware of how much water and when to apply for tomato crops. Therefore, the objective of this study is to quantify the effects of irrigation regimes on yield and yield components of tomatoes in lowland areas of Ethiopia. The treatments were factorial combinations of five irrigation depths (50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 % of ETc) and three irrigation intervals and laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The collected data were analyzed using R-software and significant treatment means separated using the least significant difference at 5 %. According to the findings, irrigation level and frequency had a significant (P< 0.05) effect on marketable fruit yield, water use efficiency, and plant height of tomatoes. The highest and lowest yields were 54.49 t/ha and 37.89 t/ha respectively. The optimum yield (48.5 t/ha) and water use efficiency (10.79kgm-3) were obtained from 75% ETc before the 3-day interval. Therefore, for the study area and similar agro-ecologies, tomatoes can be irrigated with 376.72 mm net irrigation depth with 33.64 mm and 5-day interval, 60.54 mm and 9-das interval, 94.18 mm and 14-day interval, 94.18 mm and 14-days interval, and 94.18 mm and 14-days irrigation interval at initial, development one, development two, mid and late stages of tomatoes crop respectively and saving 3127.33 m3 water to irrigate an additional 0.59 ha to achieve a yield of 29.00 t/ha for the user without a high yield penalty.

Authors: Mattedi Cecilia , Rodeghiero Mirco , Zorer Roberto
Published: December 2024

Nowadays agriculture is one of the main sectors affected by climate change. The continuous increase of temperature and drought periods are posing serious problems in terms of shift of plants’ phenological phases and a reduction of crop yield quantity and quality. Among the indexes used to assess plant water status, the Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI) is one of the most studied due to its ease of calculation. We performed a study in a vineyard in Trentino (San Michele all’Adige, Northern Italy) where we took advantage of IoT Technology to build a device to measure leaf temperature and automatically calculate the CWSI. Parameters necessary to determine the CWSI were the temperature of a non-transpiring leaf, (artificial 3D printed black leaf), and the temperature of a fully-transpiring leaf (wet bulb temperature of the air). We compared various types of thermometers to measure temperatures of the real leaves, and with repeated measuring campaigns performed during the summer of 2022 we could obtain spatial maps of CWSI that could highlight the stress levels of the vineyard and therefore address the irrigation management in a context of precision agriculture.

Published: December 2024

Drought stress is one of the most critical factors reducing the performance of crop plants in arid and semi-arid regions globally, highlighting the importance of understanding underlying mechanisms to combat such stress. Therefore, this experiment aimed to investigate the effect of drought stress and planting density on the physiological characteristics, photosynthetic pigments, and enzymatic activity of wheat plants. The experiment was conducted in a factorial arrangement based on a completely randomized block design with three replications. The treatments included irrigation cessation at three levels (control, irrigation until flowering (IUF), and irrigation until the roughing (IUD)), and plant density (300, 400, 500, and 600 plants m-2). The results indicated that leaf relative water content, soluble sugars, cell membrane stability index, chlorophyll a, b, and carotenoids were significantly decreased at IUF treatment, while these parameters increased at higher plant densities. Additionally, the interaction of drought stress and plant density significantly affected leaf proline and flavonoid content, total chlorophyll, and catalase activity. The highest leaf proline content (3.88 mg g-1 FW) was observed in the treatment with IUF and a density of 600 plants m-2, representing a 192% increase compared to the control. Additionally, the highest total chlorophyll content (3.66 mg g-1 FW) was recorded at no-stress conditions with a density of 500 plants m-2. Under drought stress conditions, the activity of antioxidant enzymes also increased. Overall, our results indicate that a density of 500 plants m-2 is optimal for maintaining stable growth conditions in wheat. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers to develop effective agronomic strategies to mitigate drought stress, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions.

Published: December 2024

Nowadays irrigation of durum wheat represents a key point to provide food security in a context of climate change. Although this topic has caught on particular attention from the global scientific community, many issues and aspects remains understudied. To fill the knowledge gap and collate present evidences, this analysis used a combined bibliometric and thematic approach to synthesize the peer-review literature from SCOPUS main collection, covering the period 1977-2023, resulting in including 332 documents. The main findings of this work are as follows: 
(1) Spain and Tunisia hosts the most productive institutions in this field; 
(2) the journal Agricultural Water Management emerged as the most prolific, with the largest number of articles and citations; 
(3) a wide range of topics and approaches on durum wheat irrigation has been identified, with particular emphasis on controlled water deficit and remote sensing driven management; 
(4) the mapping of bibliographic data coupling with co-occurrence map remains a poorly examined area of study. 
The results suggest the need of strengthened institutional partnerships and synergize the research on durum wheat irrigation, particularly in the most vulnerable areas where climate change are acting heavily. Future studies should aim to contribute to the understanding of the impacts of climate change through innovative techniques in order to improve our understanding of the durum wheat water needs and their application in crop management, while ensuring ongoing updates to the existing collection of knowledge to face future challenges.
Large-scale Commercial Agricultural Investment: Implications for Land Use/Land Cover Dynamics in Guba District, Northwest Ethiopia
Authors: Marru Temesegen Disassa , Megento Tebarek Lika , Beyene Amsalu Bedemo
Published: December 2024

Large-Scale Commercial Agricultural Investment (LSCAI) is expected to improve the living conditions of host communities while ensuring the productive use of natural resources. However, its impact on the local environment and land use/land cover (LULC) dynamics was not well investigated in Guba District, northwest Ethiopia. This study aimed to examine the implications of LSCAI projects on LULC change dynamics. To achieve this, the study employed a concurrent triangulation design, combining of qualitative and quantitative data. Data for the study were collected from primary and secondary sources, including satellite images with ground verification. The LULC map was prepared and image classification conducted by employing Arc GIS10.5 and ERDAS 2014. Structured interviews were conducted with 351 households, and unstructured in-depth interviews were conducted with key informants. The study revealed a significant increase in LULC over time. Dense forest cover decreased by 0.61% and open woodlands decreased by 1.25% per year. In contrast, cropland expanded by 1.79% per year between 1990 and 2019. Particularly, between 2010 and 2019, the rate of cropland expansion reached 3.25% per year due to the influx of LSCAI projects. This indicates that the expansion of LSCAI projects has nearly doubled the rate of LULC change in the study area. During the key informant interviews, it was confirmed that the period from 2010 to 2019 witnessed substantial expansion of LSCAI projects in the study area. Local communities also expressed concerns about the potential threats posed by LSCAI, including deforestation, land dispossession, malpractices, violent conflicts, and increased charcoal production. The main drivers of severe LULC are anthropogenic factors that promote the expansion of LSCAI. It is recommended that in the process of LSCAI, land identification and transfer to developers should be done in consultation with local communities, and the policy direction on natural resource utilization should be revisited to ensure the most sustainable use of land resources.
Exploring perceptions of sustainability and its indicators in grape and wine production in South Africa

Published: December 2024

Sustainability has always been a divided term due to the individuality linked to it. Just like the sustainability concept, measuring sustainability has been difficult because selecting indicators is just as subjective. In the South African grape and wine industries, this is even more so given the urgency and need to be sustainable. However, research on what sustainability means and what to measure is limited and mostly one-dimensional. This research adds to the current knowledge by taking a multi-dimensional approach to sustainability and its indicators. A mixed-method design was used comprising of a questionnaire with stakeholders and a Delphi Technique. The results show that different stakeholders interpreted sustainability meaning subjectively and the environmental dimension dominated most perceptions of sustainability. Respondents noted the near-constant trade-offs between the three pillars but deemed the environmental as the most important but the social as the most difficult to achieve. Furthermore, grape/wine demand and prices, brand value and production/quality consistency were deemed relevant for economic sustainability, soil health, chemical/water use efficiency for environmental sustainability and living wage, safe work environment and children’s welfare for social sustainability. This research showed the difficulty respondents had with balancing the three pillars in the economic production condition of the country that constrains their effort to do more.

Published: December 2024

Developing economic activities in villages has been known as one of the important approaches to poverty reduction, entrepreneurship development, and sustainable development of the rural economy. The most important feature of the Afghanistan villages’ economic structure is the lack of diversity in economic platforms as well as the lack of employment opportunities. In this regard, the present study was conducted to identify the components of the creation and development of diversification to rural economic activities and provide solutions in this context in the villages of the Baghlan Jadid district of Baghlan province. The statistical population for this research was all farmers of the Baghlan Jadid district. In this research, the sample size was determined using Cochran's formula of 363 people, which was done by multi-stage sampling method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire and the method was a face-to-face interview. Coefficient of Variation and Exploratory Factor Analysis was used to analyze and describe the data, in addition to descriptive statistics of centrality and dispersion. The results of the factor analysis showed that the components of "education-empowerment", "supporting component", "infrastructure-facilities component", "strategic-legal component" and "access to market component" are considered to be the most important components of creating and developing diversification in rural economic activities, respectively. Also, the findings of the study showed that the villages of this district have the potential capabilities, such as the presence of water resources such as springs and rivers for fish farming, the existence of beautiful landscapes and green spaces, the presence of the spirit of hospitality among the villagers and the belief of the villagers in the employment and income generation of non-agricultural activities. The findings of this innovative study, while facilitating the involvement of villagers in rural economic activities, can also be useful for policymakers and planners in this field.

Authors: Reina Rozo Juan David
Published: December 2024

Biocultural diversity and heritage are areas threatened by the implications of the development agenda. They study the interdependent relationships between people and the biodiversity of Indigenous and Local community's territories. There are innovation practices related to biocultural memory, heritage, and diversity for rural development. This article systematically reviews the literature around the concept of Biocultural Innovation (BcI) following the PRISMA protocol. The databases Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were used to select the records between 2012 and 2023. Of the 71 records identified, a total of 33 documents met the exclusion/inclusion requirements, including 21 publication sources, 78 authors, 41 institutions, and 18 countries. Relevant case studies and programs that have promoted the application of BcI, particularly in the Global South, are also identified. A qualitative assessment is made to argue for the relevance of this concept based on its challenges and potential. Biocultural innovation is an emerging area of inquiry that provides elements to guide policymakers, research institutions and communities wishing to develop approaches to protect, sustain and revitalize rural place-based innovation. Finally, suggestions for future research are made.

Authors: Woldemariam Ayele Desalegn , Ddumba Saul Daniel , Addis Hailu Kendie
Published: December 2024

Our ability to engage in long-term land management solutions that will benefit both land and water users is made possible by our understanding of how climate change affects sediment yield. This study aimed to determine the spatiotemporal distribution of sediment yield in the Andit Tid watershed as well as simulate sediment yield under existing and anticipated climate scenarios. SWAT and Arc GIS 10.5 software were used to estimate and map the spatial distribution of sediment yield.  The annual average estimated sediment yield of the watershed was found to be 17.9 t ha-1 yr-1. The R2 was found to be 0.62 and 0.72 during calibration and validation of sediment yield. The projected average sediment yield up to 2098 under the wettest scenario is 13.7 t ha-1 in RCP 4.5 and 16.1 t ha-1 in RCP 8.5, respectively. It was discovered that, in comparison to the current average sediment, the near future (2022–2060) sediment was equal to it in RCP 4.5 and decreased by 41% in RCP 8.5, whereas the far future (2061–2098) sediment grew by 20.4% in RCP 8.5 and decreased by 35% in RCP 4.5.  Out of the projected 76 years, 21 and 23 years showed positive deviations from the mean of the existing sediment yield under RCP 4.5 and 8.5, respectively. While in the driest scenario, the projected sediment yield was lower than the current rate, which was about 4 t ha-1 in both RCPs. In both current and future climate scenarios, the northeastern, eastern, and western regions were contributing to the higher sediment yield in the watershed. Most of these watershed hotspot regions were situated on farmed land with a slope of more than twenty percent and active gullies. When developing and executing management solutions in the areas that are severely impacted, the watershed community and decision-makers are recommended to make use of the spatial distribution map. It is also necessary to take steps to lessen the likelihood that the emission scenarios that result in RCP 8.5 will occur.

Published: December 2024

The search for new approaches for sustainable and economic agricultural fertilization is becoming of great interest worldwide. The potential use of steel slag as a soil improver has been evaluated in this study to derive various benefits for agricultural cropping systems. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) confirmed their richness in minerals (Ca, Fe, Si, Mg, Mn, S, and P) beneficial for plant growth. In this regard, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of steel slag on the growth of Capsicum annuum L. plants. Three concentrations of slag (5, 20, and 30 g kg-1) were applied. Chlorophylls, carotenoids, mineral elements, and proteins content were then evaluated. The application of slag at 20 g kg-1 generated significant results on the growth parameters, namely, length of shoot (40.16 cm), root (22.16 cm), number of leaves (14 per plant), internodes (15 per plant), flowers and dry weights. Thus, this treatment allows the plants to reach fructification and form fruits of good nutritional quality as compared to the negative and positive (NPK fertilizer) control treatments. The application of the studied steel slag specifically at the concentration of 20 g kg-1 induced an increase in photosynthetic pigments (35.32 mg g-1 FW of total chlorophyll and 7.26 mg g-1 FW of carotenoids), essential elements (N, P, K and Ca) and a high level of proteins compared to the controls. The slag showed an improvement on C. annuum development and could be proposed as potential plant fertilizer to enhance crop productivity. Overall, the study confirms the importance of adopting appropriate sustainable practices when spreading slag on agricultural soils and monitoring its potential impact on the environment, particularly the risk of long-term metal release.

The purpose of this study was to assess the compositional features and microbiological quality of the milk produced by the autochthonous oasis goat in order to evaluate its suitability for cheesemaking. To attain this, two fresh cheeses with and without basil flavor were prepared and evaluated. One hundred milk samples were collected from multiparous lactating Arbi goats reared in the continental oasis region of Tunisia and processed into unflavored and basil-flavored cheese according to a traditional recipe. Milk samples were subjected to physical, chemical, and microbial analyses. The basic composition, mineral content, and bacterial profile of the cheeses were determined. In addition, the cheeses were subjected to organoleptic evaluation. The physical parameters of the analyzed milk were 6.54, 15.64, and 1030.89 for pH, acidity, and density, respectively. For the chemical properties of the milk, the results showed a respectable level of nutritional quality with a noteworthy content of dry matter, fat, protein, casein, and minerals, especially potassium, calcium, and phosphorous. With an average yield of 25%, the assessment of both cheeses illustrated good hygienic quality for all microflora examined, except total coliforms; a very noticeable organoleptic quality, as judged by all jury members; and satisfactory nutritional quality, with a significant protein and lipid level and a richness of mineral elements, particularly high levels of calcium and phosphorus. Basil-flavored cheese had the best aroma and taste, making it highly desirable to consumers. With the exception of coliforms and E. coli, the products bacteriological quality was acceptable and met legal requirements. The total absence of dangerous Salmonella and sulfite-reducing Clostridium strictly met the legal standards. The findings revealed the substantial chemical and nutritional value of milk and cheese made from local goats. However, additional studies are required to improve the microbial quality of the studied products.
Fibonacci's Liber Abbaci and "the origin of things" of Maria Montessori
Authors: Cerasaro Silvia , Scoppola Benedetto , Tomassi Laura
Published: December 2024

This article discusses some aspects of the arithmetic of Fibonacci's Liber Abbaci and the related pedagogical idea of the Pisan mathematician, described in the Prologue of the work and which can be seen from reading the text. This treaty indirectly influenced the teaching tradition in the Italian peninsula. One of manuscripts of the work was later rediscovered by Baldassarre Boncompagni and the first treatise on abacus in the European world returned to circulate in Italian cultural clubs in the Risorgimento period. Probably, Maria Montessori in her school experience came into contact with the work of Fibonacci which left a clear trace in her subsequent pedagogical proposals.
The training ship Scilla. History of a venetian educational institution
Authors: Fasan Giulia
Published: December 2024

This paper examines the history of the training ship Scilla, established in 1904 in Venice by professor and philanthropist David Levi Morenos, who also promoted the Consortium of Vocational Schools for Maritime Workers in 1917. The ship, serving as a training and boarding school, accommodated orphans from the age of 7, aiming to provide technical, practical, and cultural training for careers in naval professions and the lower ranks of the Merchant Navy, in both traffic and fishing sectors. Similar to other contemporary programs in Genoa, Naples, and Bari, this initiative combined vocational training for regional professions with the opportunity to educate disadvantaged minors at risk of “deviance” and social marginalization. This paper situates the initiative within the broader context of the history of public assistance and childhood education in 20th-century Italy, highlighting the new and significant focus on supporting disadvantaged children and their reintegration into civil society.
The influence of Hessen and Dewey in italian pedagogy of work (1945-1970)
Authors: Callegari Carla
Published: December 2024

In Italian history, the years from 1945 to 1970 are crucial because they lead the country towards democracy, through the consolidation of the republican government, industrialisation and cultural openness towards ideas, theories and practices from beyond the borders. In the pedagogical field, the thought of foreign scholars who were also involved in labour pedagogy was accepted and reworked. Dewey and Hessen belong to different pedagogical currents and have influenced different Italian pedagogical fields, their theories are sometimes similar, sometimes divergent. The comparison shows how anthropological conceptions with different assumptions give rise to ideas on work pedagogy that reflect Dewey's instrumentalism on the one hand and Hessen's spiritualist humanism on the other. For both scholars, work is considered a pedagogical tool for educational and scholastic renewal that presupposes play as an activity characteristic of the early ages of life.
Strukturalne uwarunkowania postawy nieufności w wykonywaniu roli zawodowej przez przedstawicieli wybranych prawniczych zawodów zaufania publicznego
Authors: Wojciechowski Maciej
Published: December 2024

Celem artykułu jest zwrócenie uwagi na uwarunkowania, które mogą sprzyjać postawie nieufności w wykonywaniu roli zawodowej przez przedstawicieli wybranych prawniczych zawodów zaufania publicznego. Dyskurs prawniczy dotyczący zaufania zakłada jego kierunek przebiegający od jednostek jako podmiotów  ufających do przedstawicieli prawniczych zawodów zaufania publicznego jako adresatów zaufania. Przedmiotem zainteresowania artykułu są sytuacje, w których ten kierunek jest odwrócony tzn. wskazani przedstawiciele  zajmują postawę zaufania lub nieufności. W przypadku pełnomocników przedmiotem analizy jest postawa zaufania/nieufności wobec przeciwnika procesowego, sądu oraz własnego klienta. Analiza polega na stosowaniu formułowanych w literaturze przedmiotu definicji zaufania, nieufności oraz ich stopni do niejednokrotnie normatywnie wyznaczonych sytuacji. Tak jest w przypadku sporu sądowego. Można ją bowiem uznać za  strukturalny czynnik wpływający na zachowywanie jakiejś formy nieufności. Nieufność profesjonalnego  pełnomocnika wobec swojego przeciwnika ma strukturalny charakter również w tym sensie , że dotyczy z  pewnością roli, ale nie musi dotyczyć konkretnego człowieka tę rolę wykonującego. Zaufanie prawników do  sądów jest uwarunkowane ich profesjonalnym doświadczeniem, jednak w tym zakresie potrzebne są badania  empiryczne w tej grupie zawodowej. Trzecią kategorią adresatów zaufania/nieufności prawników są ich klienci.  Stosunek ten ma charakter ograniczonego zaufania z powodu nieprzewidywalności mocodawców, ich braku  umiejętności wyodrębniania faktów prawnie relewantnych, ale również świadomej niechęci do ujawniania  wszystkich okoliczności sprawy. Ostatnia część artykułu analizuje w jakim stopniu można przedstawiać rolę  sędziego jako podmiotu nieufnego. Obok postulatu krytycyzmu poznawczego artykuł próbuje wyjaśniać postawę  formalizmu procesowego właśnie ograniczoną nieufnością. Spodziewaną wartością przedstawionych ustaleń może  być wprowadzenie do badań empirycznych weryfikujących hipotezę, że praktyka prawnicza, a zwłaszcza sądowa  stanowi socjalizację do nieufności.

Authors: Geantă Vlad Adrian , Balogh László , Ardelean Viorel Petru
Published: December 2024

Vertical jump training is a fundamental method for the physical conditioning of athletes. The synergy of motor skills exhibited during such movements substantially contributes to achieving motor acts and actions with higher performance indices. In football, vertical jumping, like other specific factors, is an essential element that can determine the outcome of a match. Football players need to be physically prepared to handle any complex situations that may arise during a game.
Our study aims to evaluate the impact of plyometric training on vertical jump height performance in young football players.
A total of 16 subjects, U11 football players, were randomly assigned equally into a PL group (N=8), which followed a plyometric training routine for 6 weeks, and a control group (N=8), which followed the routines set by the club team's coach. They were evaluated in two phases – an initial and a final phase – using Optojump testing equipment. The results obtained were compared using statistical and mathematical methods of descriptive analysis, the Shapiro-Wilk test for normality distribution, and the Independent Samples T-test.
Additionally, Levene's test was used to analyze the type of variances in the distributions.
Our study confirmed that a customized plyometric training routine can significantly improve vertical jump performance, considering age-specific characteristics.
Our investigations suggest that integrating this type of training into the subjects' routines can bring significant benefits to the development of motor skills, specifically to young football players, offering exciting perspectives for optimizing their performance in the long term.

Introdução: Os transtornos de ansiedade e o Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção com Hiperatividade (TDAH) são condições que, em muitos casos, se manifestam simultaneamente no indivíduo. Essa coexistência pode criar um cenário desafiador, já que os sintomas podem se intensificar mutuamente, afetando aspectos emocionais, comportamentais e sociais. Portanto, compreender como essas condições interagem é crucial para o desenvolvimento de estratégias terapêuticas eficazes e personalizadas. Objetivo: Investigar a relação entre transtornos de ansiedade e o Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção com Hiperatividade (TDAH). Metodologia:  Foram utilizadas as bases de dados Cochrane, Scielo e Pubmed, buscando artigos publicados entre os anos de 2018 e 2024, nos idiomas Português ou Inglês. Considerações Finais: O presente estudo destaca como a relação entre transtornos de ansiedade e TDAH é significativa, pois ambas as condições frequentemente coexistem, agravando os sintomas de forma mútua. Dessa forma, o diagnóstico precoce e o tratamento integrado são essenciais para melhorar o bem-estar dos pacientes, pois ajudam a abordar de maneira eficaz as comorbidades envolvidas.

O Lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) é uma enfermidade autoimune crônica que acomete inúmeros órgãos e sistemas do corpo humano, marcada por períodos de atividade e calmaria e com necessidade de seguimento especializado multiprofissional. As manifestações pleuropulmonares são bastante comuns em pacientes lúpicos, entretanto o derrame pleural quiloso ou quilotórax é infrequente, ocorrendo em baixa incidência. Este estudo, por meio de uma revisão integrativa, procurou reunir evidencias acumuladas na literatura médica do comprometimento pleural quiloso como manifestação do LES que deve sempre ser pesquisada diante de casos de pacientes lúpicos com derrame pleural. O processo de acumulo de quilo na cavidade pleural pode ocorrer uni ou bilateralmente, envolvendo desde a obstrução do ducto torácico por fenômenos compressivos mediastinais, aumento da pressão hidrostática na rede linfática intratorácica, hiperpermeabilidade linfática ou fluxo transdiafragmático de ascite quilosa. Outros mecanismos podem estar envolvidos. Portanto, a pesquisa do quilotórax sempre deve ser investigada em pacientes lúpicos, independente de aspecto leitoso do líquido pleural quando puncionado ou drenado e novos estudos para melhor entendimento devem ser considerados para estabelecimento de protocolos padronizados no atendimento de pacientes lúpicos com derrame pleural do tipo quiloso.

Published: December 2024

O sistema tributário brasileiro é conhecido, de modo geral, por sua complexidade, burocracia e ineficiência, o que afeta a economia e a sociedade. Como resultado, várias propostas de reforma tributária foram apresentadas, incluindo as PECs 45/19, 110/19 e 46/22, que estão em tramitação. Essas propostas visam simplificar o sistema tributário, reduzir a carga tributária sobre empresas e consumidores, além de promover um ambiente mais favorável para o investimento e o desenvolvimento econômico. É importante, portanto, analisar as PECs e seus possíveis impactos na economia e na sociedade brasileira. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma revisão bibliográfica das propostas de reforma tributária, com ênfase nas PECs 45/19, 110/19 e 46/22. Neste sentido, o trabalho visa destacar as principais características de cada proposta, fazer uma comparação entre elas e analisar seus possíveis impactos na economia e na sociedade brasileira. Ademais, a presente pesquisa contribuirá para o debate sobre a reforma tributária no Brasil e oferecerá subsídios para a tomada de decisões políticas e econômicas. A metodologia utilizada neste artigo é a revisão bibliográfica, que envolveu a análise de artigos acadêmicos, documentos oficiais do governo e relatórios de instituições financeiras. A pesquisa foi realizada em bases de dados acadêmicas e institucionais, incluindo a Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, a Biblioteca Digital da Câmara dos Deputados, a Biblioteca Digital do Senado Federal e outras fontes relevantes. As informações foram coletadas, organizadas e analisadas para oferecer uma visão geral das propostas de reforma tributária. Os resultados indicam que a PEC 45/19 propõe a unificação dos impostos sobre o consumo, substituindo cinco tributos pelo Imposto sobre Bens e Serviços (IBS), enquanto a PEC 110/19 propõe a unificação dos impostos sobre o consumo e outras operações, além de criar um imposto seletivo para produtos específicos, e a PEC 46/22, o qual cria o ICMS e o ISS único nacional.

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo que teve como objetivo principal analisar o comportamento assimétrico dos custos em diferentes modalidades de operadoras de planos de saúde (OPS) brasileiras. O estudo é classificado como descritivo, quantitativo e documental. A amostra foi constituída por 800 OPS, cujos dados financeiros foram disponibilizados no site da Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS) entre os anos de 2010 e 2019. Foram utilizados essencialmente dados secundários provenientes das demonstrações financeiras das operadoras selecionadas. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise de regressão com dados em painel. Dentre os resultados encontrados, cabe ressaltar a diferença na ocorrência de comportamento assimétrico em organizações pertencentes ao mesmo setor, contudo, com natureza jurídica distintas. Ressalta-se, ainda, como a escolha das proxies de custos pode influenciar a identificação da assimetria. Tem-se que os resultados obtidos são relevantes para diferentes stakeholders: (i) gestores das OPS – informações quanto à ocorrência do comportamento assimétrico dos custos possibilita tomadas de decisões no intuito de reduzir a fragilidade das mesmas frente à essa assimetria e a buscarem fatores que possam estar associados a ela; (ii)  analistas e reguladores – poderão prever os resultados de forma mais assertiva a partir do conhecimento da ocorrência do comportamento assimétrico dos custos nas OPS; e (iii) sociedade de uma forma geral – muito dependente dos serviços de saúde suplementar e se que beneficia de operadoras mais sustentáveis do ponto de vista econômico-financeiro.
