The place of the higher education system in the innovation sphere in solving the problem of staffing the innovative economy. Part II
Authors: Prokhorova I. S. , Kafiyatullina Yu. N.
Published: January 2024

This article continues the study of the Innovation sphere role in the higher education system for innovative economy personnel training. It is devoted to the problem of the network project-based learning development within the framework of the entrepreneurial university model implementation. The core of the problem is development of entrepreneurial competencies in technical universities to promote technological startups through usage of expertise acquired by the Innovation students. The following article, as well as the previous one, is based on Basadur simplex method to find a range of factors which contribute to the solution of non-standard management problems. Identification of barriers to interaction is the most important factor in the development of a successful collaboration. Barriers of insufficient acquaintance with a partner, or low innovation susceptibility to the collaboration, are considered serious. The purpose of the study is to determine the external factors of innovative susceptibility to network interaction by universities that provide innovations. Low demand in the labour market is said to be the main barrier to the innovative susceptibility towards an innovation manager. There is no standardisation of his activity under the conditions of a high role of the Russian labour market regulation aspect. As a result, the author’s vision of key requirements set for the development of professional innovation standards is proposed to promote the innovation manager and increase innovative susceptibility of the market to his qualification level.

Published: January 2024

The implementation of the programme for modernisation of Russian oil refineries, launched in 2011, has already significantly increased the depth of oil refining and the quality of petroleum products. It has had a positive effect on reducing the country’s dependence on crude oil exports and has made it possible to obtain a significant positive environmental effect. However, at the same time, there has been a decrease in marginality. At the present stage, the main problems of the Russian oil refining, which affect, among other things, the implementation of modernisation projects, are associated with a ban on the supply of equipment and software for oil refining, the imposition of an embargo and a price ceiling for oil products. The article analyses the results of the implementation of the modernisation programme in terms of the impact on economic and environmental performance of oil refineries and the impact of sanction restrictions on the further modernisation of enterprises. It also considers possible ways to solve problems through the development and implementation of modern production technologies in combination with digital solutions.

Published: January 2024

Spin injection stands out as a crucial method employed for initializing, manipulating, and measuring the spin state of electrons, which are fundamental to the creation of qubits in quantum computing. However, ensuring efficient spin injection while maintaining compatibility with standard semiconductor processing techniques is a significant challenge. Herein, we demonstrate the capability of inducing an ultrafast spin injection into a WSe2 layer from a magnetic CrI3 layer on a femtosecond time scale, achieved through real-time time-dependent density functional theory calculations upon a laser pulse. Following the peak of the magnetic moment in the CrI3 sublayer, the magnetic moment of the WSe2 layer reaches a maximum of 0.89 μB (per unit cell containing 4 WSe2 and 1 CrI3 units). During the spin dynamic, spin-polarized excited electrons transfer from the WSe2 layer to the CrI3 layer via a type-II band alignment. The large spin splitting in conduction bands and the difference in the number of spin-polarized local unoccupied states available in the CrI3 layer lead to a net spin in the WSe2 layer. Furthermore, we confirmed that the number of empty states, the spin-flip process, and the laser pulse parameters play important roles during the spin injection process. This work highlights the dynamic and rapid nature of spin manipulation in layered all-semiconductor systems, offering significant implications for the development and enhancement of quantum information processing technologies.
Embedding Physics into Neural ODEs to learn Kinetics from Integral Reactors
Authors: Kircher Tim , Döppel Felix , Votsmeier Martin
Published: January 2024

While the digitalization of chemical research and industry is vastly increasing the amount of data for developing kinetic models, model parametrization is not keeping up. To take advantage of the full potential of this data, machine learning tools are required that autonomously learn kinetics from reactor data. Previously, we introduced a neural network with embedded stoichiometry and the thermodynamics for data efficient kinetic modelling. When trained as a neural ODE, this physics embedded neural network discovered kinetics from integral reactor measurements of an equilibrium limited steam reforming reactor whereas conventional neural ODEs failed. We now extend the application to another industrially relevant case of reactors operating at full conversion. Using the preferential oxidation of CO in H2 rich streams as an example, we show that the physics embedded neural network discovers kinetics from stiff systems containing cases of both full conversion and equilibrium limitation using integral reactor data.
POxload: Machine Learning Estimates Drug Loadings of Polymeric Micelles
Authors: Kehrein Josef , Bunker Alex , Luxenhofer Robert
Published: January 2024

Amphiphilic ABA-triblock copolymers, comprised of poly(2-oxazoline)s and poly(2-oxazine)s, can serve as drug delivery systems; they form micelles that carry poorly water-soluble drugs. Many recent studies have investigated the effect of structural changes of the polymer and the hydrophobic cargo on drug loading. In this work, we combine these data to establish an extended formulation database. Different molecular properties and fingerprints are tested for their applicability to serve as formulation-specific mixture descriptors. A variety of classification and regression models is built for different descriptor subsets and thresholds of loading efficiency and loading capacity, with the best models achieving overall good statistics for both cross- and external validation (balanced accuracies of 0.8). Subsequently, important features are dissected for interpretation and the DrugBank is screened for potential therapeutic use cases where these polymers could be used to develop novel formulations of hydrophobic drugs. The most promising models are provided as a software tool for other researchers to test the applicability of these delivery systems for potential new drug candidates.

Published: January 2024

Transition-metal-catalyzed C–O coupling reactions of aryl halides and alcohols represent a useful alternative to classical aromatic substitution methods due to their improved functional group tolerance and substrate scope. Despite these benefits, many existing protocols rely on harsh reaction conditions or necessitate the use of a significant molar excess of alcohol to facilitate efficient C–O bond formation, thereby limiting their utility with complex substrates. Herein, we disclose the development of a Cu-catalyzed C–O coupling method utilizing a new N1,N2-diarylbenzene-1,2-diamine ligand, L8. Under optimized reaction conditions, a structurally diverse set of aryl and heteroaryl bromides underwent efficient coupling with a variety of alcohols at room temperature using an L8-based catalyst. Notably, the L8-derived catalyst exhibited enhanced activity when compared to the L4-based system previously disclosed for C–N coupling, most notably including the ability to functionalize aryl bromides containing acidic functional groups. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that C–O coupling utilizing the catalyst derived from L8 involves rate-limiting alkoxide transmetallation, resulting in a mechanism of C–O bond formation that is distinct from previously described Pd-, Cu-, or Ni-based systems. Consequently, this lower energy pathway leads to rapid C–O bond formation; a 7-fold increase relative to what it seen with other ligands. The results presented in this report overcome limitations in previously described transition-metal-catalyzed C–O coupling methods, expand the utility of this ligand family, and introduce a new ligand that we anticipate may be useful in other Cu-catalyzed C–heteroatom and C–C bond-forming reactions.

Published: January 2024

Additive manufacturing (AM) of copper through laser-based processes poses challenges, primarily attributed to the high thermal conductivity and low laser absorptivity of copper powder or wire as the feedstock. Although the use of copper salts in vat photopolymerization-based AM techniques has garnered recent attention, achieving micro-architected copper with high conductivity and density has remained elusive. In this study, we present a facile and efficient process to create complex 3D micro-architected copper structures with superior electrical conductivity and hardness. The process entails the formulation of an ion-exchangeable photoresin, followed by the utilization of digital light processing (DLP) printing to sculpt 3D hydrogel scaffolds, which were transformed into Cu2+-chelated polymer frameworks (Cu-CPFs) with a high loading of Cu2+ ions through ion exchange, followed by debinding and sintering, results in the transformation of Cu-CPFs into miniaturized copper architectures. This methodology represents an efficient pathway for the creation of intricate micro-architected 3D metal structures.
Plasmon-Enhanced Quantum Dot Nanobeads-Based Lateral Flow Assay with Lower Background and Improved Sensitivity

Published: January 2024

Developing a quantum dot (QD) nanobeads-based lateral-flow assay (LFA) is of great importance for achieving ultrasen-sitive, quantitative, and rapid testing of clinical specimens at the point-of-care. However, the QD nanobeads currently used in LFA still have drawbacks such as large particle size, which leads to high background, easy aggregation, and poor fluidity. To address these issues, a promising strategy is to utilize plasmonic energy transfer from gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to QDs in order to create smaller size and brighter fluorescent QD nanobeads, without simply increasing the amount of QDs encapsulated in the nanobeads. In this study, we prepared the plasmon-enhanced quantum dot nano-beads (PEQNB) by encapsulating AuNPs and QDs into polymer nanobeads using the versatile emulsion-solvent evapora-tion method. We were able to detect as low as ~4347 PEQNBs nanoparticles using a gel imager, which is 14.6 times brighter than the QD nanobeads of a similar size. Compared to QD nanobeads of similar size, the PEQNB-based LFA for interleukin-6 detection exhibited higher fluorescent signal and lower background. The detection limit of PEQNB-based LFA was 1.63-fold higher than that of QD nanobeads. Furthermore, compared to larger-sized QD nanobeads with aver-age diameter of 131.1nm, PEQNB with average diameter of 78.6 nm based LFA exhibited similar levels of fluorescence intensity, but 1.55-fold lower background signal and 1.44-fold lower detection limits. This work demonstrates that opti-mized plasmon-enhanced QD nanobeads can further increase the sensitivity and lower the background signals of ultra-sensitive QD nanobeads-based LFA for disease diagnosis at point-of-care.

Published: January 2024

Labors laws are the body of rules that regulate the relationship between employers and employees at work places. Like all other laws, it provides for the rights and duties of both parties to labor contract. However, the rights so granted under this law has been subtly categorized under the specie of economic and social rights as against the civil and political rights which, arguably, are considered as fundamental. While in one breathe, labor law scholars are protesting the relegation of these rights, they are on the other hand are beginning to interrogate the potency of the former rights and found that they, by their very nature, are capable of adding meaning and advancing the civil and political rights. Thus, a genuine effort at protecting the fundamental rights would necessarily involve the protection of labor rights as economic and social rights. The problem in Nigeria, however, is that the government and generally employers of labor exploit the provisions of various labor laws to hinder the protection and advancement of the fundamental human rights of their employees. Hence, this paper seeks to draw lessons from the labor laws and practice of the United States to demonstrate the positive impacts that Labor laws could have in strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights of Nigerian workers at their workplaces.
INFORMAL SECTOR PROBLEMS IN SSS MEMBERSHIP AND SUSTAINABILITY
Authors: L. Clarite Michael
Published: January 2024

Social Security System is a state-run social insurance program in the Philippines covering all income earners including the informal sector group which aims to provide social protection to its members. The informal sector refers to those whose income is irregular or seasonal. Examples are farmers, vendors, prison detainees and other nature of work with unstable income. There is a low percentage of membership in this category. This paper tried to identify its factors and formulated recommendations beneficial for the sustainability of coverage that may help the SSS achieve its goal of reaching out to the minority. Statistical tools such as Descriptive Statistics, Frequency and Percentage Distribution, Weighted Mean and Chi-Square Test were used to analyze data gathered. The research showed that most of the informal sector are from the transport and famer group which are single and aged between 26 and 45. The study revealed that almost all the respondents believe that the SSS benefits are beneficial for them. They also believe that the amount of these benefits is based on their contributions. The problem factors that greatly contribute to the decision-making in applying membership and sustainability to SSS are time and monthly earnings. However, process and transaction as well as knowledge were not a factor of influence. It is concluded that there is a significant relationship between the profile variables and problem factors of time, income, and knowledge. While most of the variables that were correlated to the problem, factor process and transaction showed no significant relationship.

Published: January 2024

This study aimed to obtain the characteristics of verb structure in the speech of Indonesian speakers with Broca’s aphasia and their relation to the Argument Structure Complexity Hypothesis (ASCH) and grammatical encoding. There are three questions, namely the interrelationships of verbs and syntactic functions, interrelationship of verbs and semantic functions, and the contribution to the ASCH and grammatical coding. Eight participants took part, divided into four with aphasia and four Non-Brain Damaged (NBD) participants as controls. The research used an experimental research method. The instruments were five images adapting Cookie Theft (an instrument used in an aphasia test in various languages) and 3 instructions to tell about daily activities. The results showed that participants with aphasia tended to use verbs in simpler structures than controls. Therefore, this study supports the ASCH about the argument simplification and tendency of grammatical coding problems, important as coming from Indonesian, an Austronesian language. Clinical implications are discussed. AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan karakteristik struktur verba dalam tuturan spontan penutur Bahasa Indonesia dengan afasia Broca dan hubungannya dengan Argument Structure Complexity Hypothesis (ASCH) dan pengkodean gramatikal. Ada tiga pertanyaan penelitian, yaitu keterkaitan verba dan fungsi sintaksis, keterkaitan verba dan fungsi semantik, dan kontribusi terhadap ASCH dan pengkodean gramatikal. Delapan peserta ikut serta, dibagi menjadi empat dengan afasia dan empat peserta tanpa gangguan syaraf (Non-Brain Damaged: NBD) sebagai kontrol. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimental. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah lima buah gambar yang mengadaptasi Cookie Theft (instrumen dalam tes afasia lintas bahasa) serta tiga buah instruksi untuk bercerita tentang kegiatan sehari-hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peserta dengan afasia cenderung menggunakan verba dalam struktur yang lebih sederhana daripada peserta NBD. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini mendukung ASCH tentang penyederhanaan argumen dan kecenderungan terjadinya masalah pengkodean gramatikal. Dukungan ini penting karena datang dari Bahasa Indonesia yang merupakan bahasa rumpun Austronesia. Implikasi klinis juga disarankan.

Authors: Li Jia , Liu Qixing , Zhang Xianlin , Zhao Min
Published: January 2024

In this study, the autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) was used to estimate the long-term impact of the number of health medical institutions and health technicians (two important indicators in medical resources) on infant mortality in Yunnan Province. The error correction model (ECM) was used to estimate the short-term impact influence. The results show that the number of health and medical institutions has a significant positive long-term and short-term impact on infant mortality; the number of health workers has a significant negative short-term impact and a significant positive long-term impact on infant mortality. Several suggestions are also provided to optimize the allocation of medical resources and policy construction. For example, medical institutions should be built and health workers should be recruited judiciously, focusing on “quality” rather than “quantity.” In addition, this study also provides empirical evidence for future research in related fields.

Research on Access and Benefit-Sharing Regimes for Agricultural Genetic Resources in India
Authors: Cheng Lili , Yu Ping , Yao Na
Published: January 2024

India is one of the richest providers of genetic resources in the world and it advocates that the sovereignty of genetic resources belongs to the state to realize the equitable sharing of the benefits of genetic resources. The study shows that India has built a relatively complete legal system for access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing. This system revolves around three major laws and regulations, with clear management regulations for domestic and foreign access to genetic resources, a definite form and proportion of benefit-sharing, and a clear management method for the distribution of benefits after acquisition. India’s achievements in institutional construction can act as a great reference for the management of access to genetic resources and benefit-sharing in China.
Deep Synthesis Works Compliance Governance and Copyright Protection: Chinese Perspective and Practices
Authors: Liu Hang
Published: January 2024

Deep synthesis works are creative works produced by applying deep synthesis technology. Depending on whether a performer’s image is entirely generated by deep synthesis technology, deep synthesis works can be classified as native synthesized works or regenerated synthesized works. The major legal issues of the deep synthesis works include the classification of the works, copyrightability, rights competition, and potential rights conflicts. This article argues that the originality of deep synthesis works is determined by objective standards. In the event of concurrence of rights, the performer should choose the most appropriate way to protect their rights in specific circumstances. Furthermore, conflicts can be resolved by clarifying the boundaries of the rights of the work. Deep synthesis technology and its application shall be regulated to reduce its negative effects, so as to transform “deepfake” to “deep synthesis” and maximize the benefit of this technology.

SARUKHETRI PITAL SARAI CLUSTER: ARTISTIC AND AESTHETIC SENSE OF FOLK ART FORMS ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Dutta Drabita
Published: January 2024

Folk art and craft comprises art created by indigenous cultures, peasants, and other common individuals. It is frequently learned through rigorous apprenticeships or passed down from generation to generation within families. The patterns, themes, techniques, and materials of folk art and craft must have specific importance and convey a great deal about the culture or civilization to which they belong. In Assamese culture, brass metal articles, silk and bamboo articles are used for various purposes daily household activities, religious ceremonies, marriage gift items, musical instruments, etc. As an anthropological researcher when viewing folk art articles a careless inquiry occasionally pops into the researcher’s mind out of curiosity. The question might be, How did this item come into existence? who are the people who make these craft items, how are they skilled and who trains them? It often focuses on the many concerns surrounding traditions influencing and enhancing their learning process. Using an ethnographic methodology and narrative analysis, it is believed that all of these and many other questions will receive proper answers. Many Assamese tribal and folk cultures' traditional arts and crafts are currently in danger of being extinct. This article is an effort to describe and exhibit the rich artistic and craft traditions of the Barpeta district, Assam, which are currently in danger of extinction. In particular, it focuses on the collection of dying arts and crafts made by the metal craft communities of Assam. This research focuses on brass metal craft groups in the Sarukhteri region of Assam through mapping the structure of craft communities and external bodies between which knowledge exchange occurs. The purpose of this study is to gain an understanding of how knowledge has been transferred in Assam's craft communities and to subsequently identify and comprehend some underlying problem areas.
A Preliminary Study on Territorial Development and Spatial Fix in Mexico: Focusing on the Tren Maya Project under the AMLO Regime
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Seo Jihyun , Oh Inhye
Published: January 2024

Mexico has been noted as a somewhat exceptional case in the 2000s, when the Pink Tide wave was exerting a powerful influence in South America. Thus after losing to Mexico’s two conservative parties, PAN and PRI, in 2006 and 2012, expectations for AMLO and his regime, which was elected as the candidate of the MORENA party in 2018, were higher than ever. In particular, it can be said that the regime succeeded in coming to power by emphasising the disconnection from the neoliberal policies implemented by the previous regimes, but in the economic growth policy, it still showed a basis for adjusting and maintaining the existing policy stance rather than an exclusive break with neoliberalism. Against this backdrop, this study aims to examine the reasons why the infrastructure construction project promoted by the AMLO regime has caused social criticism and backlash in the actual process, despite the fact that it specifies the goal of overcoming spatial and social imbalances. This study argues that the emphasis on procedural legitimacy to blunt the backlash against the infrastructure projects actively promoted by the AMLO regime can be understood in the context of the re-establishment or readjustment of the state-market-society relationship, rather than an exclusive break with the previous neoliberal regime. In other words, it is understood as part of a 'spatial fix' to deepen capitalist accumulation as advocated by critical spatial geographers. This study is a preliminary study that aims to overcome the limitations of domestic research on Mexico that has been mainly dealt with in the political, economic, and cultural contexts, and to contribute to the spatial and social discussions. Therefore, it is of academic significance in that it introduces the theoretical discussions of critical geographers who can understand capitalist accumulation and unbalanced land development and applies them to the case of Mexico.
An Affordable Wager: The Wider Implications of Regulatory Innovations to Address Vulnerability in Online Gambling
Authors: Bedford Kate
Published: January 2024

The British government is introducing new regulatory measures to address gambling harm, including affordability checks on online players that rely on cross-operators data sharing. This article seeks to understand these measures, and their limits. Section 1 recaps what we already know about differentiated restrictions on access to gambling, including as manifest in recent state-industry efforts to deploy online gambling technologies to identify and preempt gambling harm. Section 2 summarises agreed and proposed changes to British online gambling regulation since 2019, focusing in depth on affordability checks for players and the related imperative to develop a ‘single customer view’ of play. Section 3 outlines two grounds for concern about the measures, rooted in the industry’s enthusiasm for affordability checks, and ii. the implications for groups of customers who may already be disadvantaged and hyper-surveilled. I raise these concerns in an attempt to identify a way out of an impasse, such that urgent concerns about gambling harm do not translate so readily into regulatory efforts to differentially restrict access to ever-expanding groups of adults considered vulnerable.
The End of 'Responsible Gambling': Reinvigorating Gambling Studies
Authors: Livingstone Charles
Published: January 2024

This paper argues that gambling research has, since the neoliberal-inspired period of gambling legalisation in the late twentieth century, been dominated by a specific discourse, that of ‘responsible gambling’. This discourse originated in a conjunction of rationalities of government and capital, in the process of which commercial gambling was legitimated. Its liberalisation represented an extension of rationalities and technologies to form a new market from what had previously been an unlawful activity. The problems and harms associated with this liberalisation became subject to claims from some pockets of expertise, notably psy-sciences, and thus became a focus for analysis. As a consequence, gambling research has been characterised by a discourse of individual pathology as the focus of study. The orthodoxy formed from this discourse constitutes a system or apparatus of economic and quasi-medical power, in which reflexive relations between gambling operators, governments, charities, and some researchers, have been significant. These reflexive relations have largely constituted the field of gambling research. This paper contends that the orthodoxy of gambling research has failed to prevent harm arising from gambling and has restricted the expansion of knowledge. A systemic critique of the orthodox discourses and technologies that constitute much of gambling research is required to address these categories. This would also address a lack of diversity in theoretical framings of gambling research priorities. Alternative ways of conceptualising the problem of legalised gambling have emerged, most clearly under the discourse of ‘public health’. The current competition between these two discourses might be categorised as between an orthodoxy (‘responsible gambling’) and a heterodoxy (‘public health’). Extending the heterodoxy into a critical public health discourse may provide a basis for rapid expansion and diversification of the research field, particularly along paths that expand knowledge, facilitate effective regulation of harmful products, and prevent harm to individuals, communities, and populations.

Published: January 2024

The effect of sodium polyacrylate, polyethylene glycol of various molecular weights, and their mixtures on the dispersion stability of calcium and magnesium carbonates was studied. It was shown that in the presence of a binary system, the light transmission of the dispersion decreases 1.2–1.5 times, the content of fine fraction particles increases by 1.1–1.3 times compared to the individual components. The stability of the dispersion of carbonates depends on the components ratio in the binary system and their molecular weight.

The assessment of existing technological solutions in the field of preparation of feedstock for potassium chloride granulation plants of silvinite processing plants of JSC “Belaruskali”, compliance of these solutions with the developed theoretical concepts and recommendations was carried out. It has been established that in the granulation departments of factories with the flotation method of enrichment at the stage of homogenization of the charge by granulation composition and humidity, and the improvement of its crystal structure, the process of particle agglomeration is not efficient enough due to the technical imperfection of the used agglomerators. At the same time, there is a significant overspending of the structure-forming reagent compared to the amount calculated in accordance with the stoichiometry of calcium and magnesium ions, which leads to excessive contamination of the finished product with sodium carbonate. To eliminate the identified drawback, it is proposed to use as an agglomeration device a turbo-blade agglomerator mixer of the TLA-080 brand manufactured by the JSC “Soligorsk Institute of Resources Saving Problems with Pilot Production”, specially designed for agglomeration of potassium chloride. It has been established that an increase in the physico-mechanical and physico-chemical characteristics of granulated potassium chloride of a processing plant with a halurgic enrichment method can be achieved by introducing the developed technology of structural agglomeration of the charge entering the granulation plants in turbo-bladе agglomeration mixers of the TLA-080 brand without the use of structure-forming reagents.

Objective: To investigate the change in dental caries status on provision of high fluoridated tooth paste after 24 months. Study Design: Triple Blind Randomized Clinical and Controlled. Setting: Private School of Gulshan Town, Karachi. Period: January 2018 to January 2020. Material & Methods: A cohort of regular school children aged 12-15 years studying in classes 6-9 were included. Through simple random sampling, 412 subjects were purposively allocated to Group A (n=202, intervention group) and Group B (n=210, control group). A pre-trial market survey was conducted to identify the fluoridated toothpastes available followed by the laboratory testing of fluoride concentration through Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. Dental examination was performed by a single examiner on mobile dental units under sunlight in the school ground using sterilized dental mirror, probe and tweezers at baseline and then after 8, 16 and 24 months employing the World Health Organization recommended Decayed Missing Filled Teeth index. Results: The mean age of the recruited participants was 12.91±0.82 having 209 males and 203 females. The mean DMFT scores observed over 24 months were 1.25 in group A and 1.42 in group B. At baseline it was 1.10 ±1.50 and 1.11±1.43 which gradually increased to 1.32±1.57 and 1.59±1.96 in group A and B respectively at last follow-up examination. Conclusion: This trial has identified no significant change in the overall dental caries status; however, the mean decayed score in both the interventional groups decreased on provision of high fluoridated tooth paste.

O elevado consumo de água na instalação de sulcos tradicionais é o aspecto de maior importância deste método de irrigação. Esse sistema dificilmente alcança eficiência no uso de recursos hídricos, não ultrapassando a 60% na maioria dos casos. Partindo da necessidade de melhorar a eficiência desse sistema, este trabalho testou os sulcos revestidos, visando analisar a capacidade do sistema reduzir a quantidade de recursos hídricos atendendo a necessidade da cultura do maracujá, conduzido no campus II, da PUC - Goiás, Goiânia, GO. O delineamento utilizado foi em blocos casualizados, comparando o desempenho da cultura no sulco com e sem revestimento, medindo-se a altura e área foliar para comparar o desenvolvimento e se houve diferença entre os tratamentos (sulcos). Estatisticamente ficou demonstrado terem a mesma eficiência, no entanto, com grande economia de água. Os resultados demonstraram uma diferença de lâmina bruta de 11,4 mm ou 11,4 L m-² por turno a menos para aplicação no sulco revestido, obtendo-se economia de água de 56.088 L ha-1 por turno de rega de cinco dias.

A vigilância epidemiológica das doenças é tradicionalmente realizada nas fazendas, seja através de investigações e intervenções, mas há também as propriedades de alto risco pela comercialização ou participação de agrupamentos em eventos pecuários (aglomerações). Já as fazendas ou estabelecimentos "hubs", são aquelas que acontecem com frequência a entradas e saídas de animais, portanto, seriam sentinelas em todo contexto, e deve-se premeditar as execuções das atividades de atenção veterinária como medida preventiva, nas detecções de enfermidades precocemente, para tanto, a vigilância contínua é uma ferramenta importante para prevenção, controle e erradicação de enfermidades no país. Objetivou-se descrever o uso de um drone da marca DJI Mini 2 como auxílio em um leilão de rebanho geral (não de gado de elite) e regional em Balsas/MA. Esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida no mês de maio de 2022. A finalidade dos animais era terminação, seja pela recria ou engorda de bovinos. Avaliou-se a possibilidade de ocorrência de enfermidades no rebanho, individualmente e/ou em lotes se havia sinais clínicos compatíveis com doenças e a condição do Bem-Estar Animal (BEA). Como resultado, observou-se na vigilância a ausência de sinais clínicos compatíveis com doenças infectocontagiosa, ectoparasitas, morte no recinto e as boas condição de bem-estar pode ser observada através da percepção da condição corporal dos animais e o drone permitiu uma visualização espacial da área, e próxima dos animais, gerando vídeos e imagens em tempo real, ou mesmo armazenada em sistema compatível com o modelo da aeronave pilotada remotamente, assim, com boa acurácia ou precisão na operação. Concluímos que os drones são instrumentos no auxílio de vigilância em saúde animal, de baixo custo e alta plasticidade nas abordagens, para os sistema de aglomeração de rebanhos em áreas abertas, que facilitam a conferência de indivíduos ou lotes (como também a contagem por fotos em aplicativos), na entrada e saída de animais no embarque e desembarque, ou aqueles já acomodados nos currais (ou piquetes), seja pela observação de comportamentos natural de cada espécie, de forma individual e/ou coletiva em suas interações sociais.
