Published: October 2023

No contexto de proteção dos biomas brasileiros, o desmatamento na Amazônia Legal é evidente. Nas últimas cinco décadas, essas áreas sofreram alterações no uso do solo, tornando-se heterogêneas, fragmentadas e degradadas. O Brasil possui legislação ambiental para orientar o uso da terra, seja para produção, conservação ou preservação. O Código Florestal Brasileiro é central para a proteção das florestas, estabelecendo regras para a exploração da vegetação nativa. Um estudo foi realizado no município de Capitão Poço, no Pará, usando dados geoespaciais do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatisticas (IBGE) e da Secretaria Estadual de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade do Pará, além de imagens dos satélites Landsat 5 e Sentinel-2, abrangendo o período de 2008 a 2020. Propriedades com menos de 4 módulos fiscais (MFs) em 2008 apresentaram solo exposto, sem Área de Reserva Legal. Propriedades maiores que 4 MFs mostraram uso diversificado do solo, porém com Área de Reserva Legal e Área de Preservação Permanente abaixo do exigido por lei. Em 2020, a propriedade menor de 4 MFs exibiu reflorestamento comercial e Área Consolidada. A propriedade maior de 4 MFs mostrou fragmentos de Área Consolidada, vegetação nativa remanescente, Área de Preservação Permanente (APP) de curso d’água e reflorestamento. Assim, em 2008, ambas as propriedades estavam irregulares perante o Código Florestal de 1965, mas em 2020, ambas estavam regulares de acordo com as alterações realizadas do Código Florestal de 2012, devido a medidas transitórias e decretos específicos.

Barn på handlingstidspunktet, voksen på domstidspunktet
Authors: Holmboe Morten
Published: October 2023

AbstractYoung offenders will normally be treated more leniently than adults. This is because their youth implies less culpability and makes punishment likely to be experienced as more severe. In two recent opinions, the Norwegian Supreme Court has held that the reasons for treating young offenders more leniently are weakened if a defendant has reached the age of 18 when judgment is passed. The author argues that this reasoning cannot be built on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, nor on Norwegian law as formerly interpreted by the Supreme Court. This is because doing so turns the mere passage of time since an offense into a de facto aggravating factor at sentencing. Likewise, the filing of an appeal against a judgment may lead to a harsher punishment simply because of the passage of time.
Unge lovbrytere behandles vanligvis mildere enn voksne. Hensynene bak slike regler er gjerne formulert slik at unge lovbrytere i mindre grad kan klandres for sine handlinger, og at de tåler belastningen ved soning dårligere. I to nyere avgjørelser har Norges Høyesterett til skade for tiltalte lagt vekt på at han hadde passert 18-årsdagen da dommen ble avsagt, slik at vekten av belastningshensynet ble redusert. Forfatteren argumenterer for at Høyesteretts resonnement ikke har støtte i barnekonvensjonen eller lovgivningen og har uheldige følger. Det fører til at saksbehandlingstiden kommer tiltalte til skade, og at anke kan føre til strengere straff utelukkende fordi tiden går.
Is special treatment of a minor offender against the best interests of the minor victim?
Authors: Silvennoinen Elisa , Koskela Tarja
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as EU regulations, demand that in all actions concerning children, the best interest of the child shall be the primary consideration. This principle also applies to criminal proceedings. Juvenile delinquency is often committed against other juveniles. In Finnish criminal policy and legislation, juvenile offenders are treated more leniently than adults, and the starting point in intervention is education and guidance. In cases where the suspect and the victim are minors, the best interests of the children should be balanced between them. In such cases, the rights of the child should apply equally to both parties. As a result, we found that the best interests of the child in criminal proceedings should be understood as a procedural obligation.

FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter och EU:s förordningar kräver att barnets bästa ska komma i främsta rummet vid åtgärder som rör barn. Detta gäller även vid straffrättsliga förfaranden. Ungdomsbrottslighet begås ofta mot andra ungdomar. I Finlands kriminalpolitik och lagstiftning behandlas unga lagöverträdare mildare än vuxna och utgångspunkten för ingripanden är utbildning och vägledning. I fall där den misstänkte och offret är minderåriga ska barnets bästa vägas samman mellan dem. I detta fall bör barnets rättigheter gälla lika mycket för båda. Som ett resultat av detta konstaterade vi att barnets bästa i straffrättsliga förfaranden bör betraktas som en processuell skyldighet.

The effect of Ruqyah Syariah therapy among hyperactive students is an exclusive study on students with learning difficulties. This study used the Islamic medical research framework based on the Quran, Hadith, al-Asma ul husna, and selected prayers. Previous studies have proven that Ruqyah Syar’iyyah therapy is effective in treating various spiritual and physical ailments. Thus, this study identified the extent to which this method of using Surah Al-Fatihah can be applied in teaching and learning, especially in overcoming the problem of hyperactive student behavior in the classroom to change and control the behavior of hyperactive students as an initial preparation before the learning session begins. A quantitative method through a one-group quasi-experimental design (pretest-posttest) was employed. A total of 30 hyperactive students aged 8-11 years from three primary schools of the Special Education Integration Program around Selangor were taken as samples of this study. Pre-tests were made three times before student learning began, while post-tests were made six times. Based on the paired-sample t-test, the results showed that there was a significant difference of t (29, -14.940), sig = <.000 (p <0.005), and pre-test mean of 1.67, while the post-test mean increased to 3.89 after six tests were given to the students. This study can be disseminated to overcome and control the problem of hyperactive behavior in regular schools.

Authors: Lamarche Marie-Aimée , Durand Micheline-Joanne
Published: October 2023

L’élaboration d’une grille d’évaluation est une tâche complexe qui exige une bonne connaissance de l’objet d’évaluation et du niveau d’apprentissage des apprenants pour lesquels elle est destinée. Parmi les différents types de grilles d’évaluation qui sont utilisées en milieu scolaire, la grille descriptive critériée ainsi que la grille descriptive analytique s’avèrent des choix particulièrement appropriés pour guider le jugement des évaluateurs. En suivant la méthodologie de la recherche-développement, les concepteurs se sont engagés dans un processus réflexif qui, après de nombreux aller-retour dans la formulation des critères, des échelons et des descripteurs, a mené à l’élaboration, à la validation et à la mise à l’essai de trois versions d’une grille descriptive analytique. Les résultats permettent d’identifier les éléments à considérer dans la construction de cet outil pour des élèves du premier cycle du secondaire présentant un trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA) et une grande diversité de profils cognitifs.

ANALIZA KONCEPTA ODRŽIVOG LIDERSTVA IZ ANALITIČKE PERSPEKTIVE
Authors: Dašić Miloš
Published: October 2023

Održivo liderstvo je koncept koji sve više dobija na značaju u savremenom poslovnom okruženju, s obzirom na sve veći fokus na očuvanje životne sredine, društvenu odgovornost i dugoročnu održivost organizacija. Potekao je iz ideje da organizacije ne postoje izolovano od prirodnog sveta i društvene zajednice u kojoj deluju. Umesto toga, održivo liderstvo prepoznaje da organizacije imaju važan doprinos i uticaj na životnu sredinu i društvo u celini, te da bi njihova aktivnost trebalo da se odvija u skladu sa principima očuvanja prirode i dobrobiti svih zainteresovanih strana. Održivo liderstvo se može posmatrati kao kompleksan skup karakteristika, veština i praksi koje su usmerene ka postizanju održivosti organizacije u svim njenim dimenzijama – ekonomskoj, društvenoj i ekološkoj. U radu su istraženi koncepti održivog liderstva na individualnom, organizacionom i integrisanom nivou. Cilj je bio dublje sagledati ključne elemente i karakteristike koje čine održivo liderstvo efikasnim i uspešnim. Kroz proučavanje relevantne literature, razmatrani su aspekti održivog liderstva na svakom od ovih nivoa kako bi se dobila celovita slika ove važne teme.
Unsupervised generative chord representation learning and its effect on novelty-creativity and fidelity-standards
Authors:   , Macaya Valladares Agustín Arnoldo
Published: October 2023

Los modelos generativos de aprendizaje profundo han experimentado un gran desarrollo en la generación de arte. Aunque la generación de arte basada en imágenes ha tenido un gran éxito, la música todavía tiene mucho por delante para alcanzar a su contraparte. Especial enfoque en mejorar los resultados generados ha descuidado la importancia de comprender cómo los modelos generativos aprenden y entienden la música. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo comprender cómo las características del espacio latente en los modelos generativos afectan la generación de ejemplos musicales novedosos y su relación con el aprendizaje de conceptos musicales. Se entrenaron VAEs no-supervisadas con espacios latentes de diferentes características para generar acordes. Se analizaron las capacidades de reconstrucción y generación. Se entrenó un conjunto de redes de sondeo para determinar las representaciones aprendidas por los modelos no-supervisados. El análisis muestra que espacios latentes grandes favorecen, con lımitaciones, la novedad-creatividad en perjuicio de la fidelidad-estándares, que empeoran pero con un límite. Otros hallazgos muestran espacios latentes pequeños no permiten una buena reconstrucción de los datos de entrenamiento, pero aún así son suficientes para mantener la fidelidad-estándares en el momento de la generación, a expensas de una menor novedad-creatividad. Finalmente, los resultados muestran que se requieren espacios latentes grandes para un mayor aprendizaje de conceptos musicales complejos.
Comparación de recomendaciones de arte en ambiente virtual y en ambiente web
Authors:   , Palma Silva Isidora
Published: October 2023

La simulación de espacios físicos, también conocida como ambiente inmersivo, ha aumentado en popularidad y se ha aplicado a distintos dominios para poder explorar su potencial. En el área artística también se ha empezado a implementar este tipo de tecnología para facilitar recorridos y para atraer la atención de nuevos visitantes. También se han utilizado los sistemas recomendadores para mejorar la experiencia de los usuarios, porque permiten encontrar items que se ajusten a las preferencias del usuario de forma rápida y eficaz. Algunos trabajos han utilizado recomendaciones para crear recorridos guiados, mientras que varias exposiciones han migrado a una recreación virtual de sus salas. Sin embargo, a la fecha no se ha implementado ningún sistema inmersivo que aplique un recomendador de arte, ni tampoco un estudio cualitativo en esta área. En este trabajo presentamos un sistema recomendador de arte basado en aprendizaje profundo aplicado en un ambiente inmersivo. Para evaluar esta implementación realizamos una comparación cualitativa entre nuestra interfaz y una versión similar en formato Web. Los resultados del estudio mostraron indicios de que el interés de los usuarios en la aplicación no radica en el contenido artístico visual, sino que es intrínseco a la inmersión e innovación de la misma interfaz. A pesar de que la versión inmersiva resultó ser más complicada de usar que la versión Web, se encontró evidencia de que nuestra forma de presentar las recomendaciones provoca que la experiencia sea más disfrutable y que la atención del usuario no siempre tienda a las primeras recomendaciones recibidas. Finalmente, presentamos sugerencias de diseño para este tipo de implementaciones y oportunidades de mejora para explorar en el futuro.
Structural and functional characterization and engineering of Antartic enzymes as potential biocatalysts for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) degradation
Authors:   , Blázquez Sánchez Paula
Published: October 2023

El tereftalato de polietileno (PET) se ha convertido en uno de los principales residuos plásticos producidos a nivel mundial. En los últimos años se han descubierto microorganismos que poseen enzimas capaces de degradar el PET amorfo. La mayoría de estas enzimas son termófilas y presentan actividades óptimas de reacción entre los 60 °C y 70 °C, cerca de la temperatura de transición vítrea del PET. Posteriormente se descubrió una hidrolasa de poliéster en la bacteria mesófila Ideonella sakaiensis capaz de hidrolizar parcialmente el PET a 40 °C. En este trabajo, demostramos que hidrolasas de poliéster de las bacterias antárticas Moraxella sp. cepa TA144 (Mors1) y Oleispira antarctica cepa RB-8 (OaCut), descubiertas por técnicas bioinformáticas, hidrolizan el poliéster alifático policaprolactona y el poliéster aromático PET a una temperatura de 25 °C. Mors1 produce una reducción de peso de láminas de PET en el rango de las hidrolasas descritas previamente, constituyéndose así como la primera hidrolasa de PET psicrófila. El modelo estructural de Mors1 muestra que la composición de aminoácidos en el centro activo es similar al de sus homólogas termófilas y mesófilas. Además, el análisis metagenómico de muestras antárticas demostró que miembros de la familia Moraxellaceae portan genes que codifican otras potenciales hidrolasas de PET psicrófilas. Para mejorar la actividad de Mors1, se sustituyó un bucle altamente flexible del centro activo por el bucle equivalente de la enzima termófila LCC, lo que dio como resultado un aumento de 20 °C en la temperatura óptima de la actividad, así como un aumento de la actividad hidrolítica de PET de 4.8 veces. Simulaciones e dinámica molecular mostraron una ligera reducción en la flexibilidad en el centro activo de la enzima mutante, lo que sugiere que la actividad a temperaturas más altas se debe a una estabilización local del sitio activo. Estos resultados describen las primeras enzimas degradadoras de PET caracterizadas en organismos adaptados al frío y dan ideas sobre la relación entre la flexibilidad estructural, temperatura y actividad hidrolítica de PET de estas enzimas.
Promoviendo la experticia adaptativa para una formación inicial docente del siglo 21 basada en la práctica
Authors:   , García Galleguillos María del Rosario
Published: October 2023

Para comprender cómo desarrollar la experticia adaptativa durante la formación inicial docente, se diseñó e implementó una secuencia de enseñanza a 71 futuros profesores, para que aprendieran la práctica esencial de explicación pedagógica, en el contexto de un curso de práctica. La secuencia de enseñanza para la producción de un video explicativo consideró los principios fundamentales de una formación basada en la práctica, así como las habilidades del siglo 21 -pensamiento crítico y comunicación- como gatilladoras del dominio de la práctica esencial y del razonamiento pedagógico. Se realizaron dos estudios: el primero tiene como objetivo determinar los cambios en los desempeños de los futuros profesores después de participar en la secuencia de aprendizaje. Una tarea de noticing y una de puesta en acto fueron aplicadas a cada futuro docente antes y después de la experiencia para determinar el dominio de la práctica esencial y de sus habilidades de pensamiento crítico y comunicación. El ANOVA intrasujeto mostró que los desempeños para todas las mediciones fueron significativamente más altos para las tareas finales. Además, se encontró que el pensamiento crítico final contribuye significativamente al dominio de la práctica esencial en la tarea de noticing final. El segundo estudio busca profundizar en los aportes de uno de los hitos de la secuencia de enseñanza: el taller de discusión profesional. Se realizó un estudio con una submuestra de 36 estudiantes. Se videograbaron 16 sesiones de discusión profesional, las cuales fueron codificadas según su desempeño en el conocimiento de la práctica esencial, el pensamiento crítico y la comunicación oral. Los resultados mostraron que el pensamiento crítico ocupado en el taller es un predictor significativo para el aprendizaje de la práctica esencial.

Authors: Karambu Lydiah , Obuba Robert
Published: October 2023

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the impact of strategic planning drivers on the performance of faith-based healthcare institutions in Meru County, Kenya. There were four specific objectives: to assess the influence of leadership in strategic planning, environmental scanning, stakeholder involvement, and the strategic planning formulation process on the performance of faith-based healthcare institutions in Meru County, Kenya. The research drew upon the Strategic Fit Theory, Porter's Competitive Advantage Theory, and Institutional Theory. Adopting a descriptive research design, the study targeted 421 employees across 23 faith-based healthcare institutions in Meru County. Using Yamane's formula for categorical data, the study focused on a sample size of 205 respondents. Quantitative data was collected through questionnaires distributed to respondents using a drop-and-pick method, while qualitative data was gathered from hospital administrators using an interview guide. The study employed frequencies, means, and standard deviation to present descriptive results. For inferential statistics, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and analysis of variance were used. The study's results revealed a positive and significant correlation between leadership, environmental scanning, stakeholder involvement, the strategy formulation process, and the organizational performance of faith-based healthcare institutions in Meru County. Regression analysis indicated that strategic planning drivers accounted for 59.5% of the variance in organizational performance. The study found that stakeholder involvement did not exert a significant influence on the performance of faith-based healthcare institutions. As a recommendation, the study suggests that faith-based healthcare institutions should enhance their strategic planning by strengthening collaborations with stakeholders, improving resource mobilization, evaluating threats and opportunities, and involving employees in the strategic planning formulation process. Additionally, the study recommends further research to assess the impact of the internal organizational environment on the performance of faith-based healthcare institutions in other counties in Kenya. Policymakers in faith-based organizations are encouraged to support individual organizations in developing strategic management guidelines that promote regulation and control.

Allelopathy is a natural and eco-friendly process causes agricultural plants to generate phytotoxins called "allelochemicals" that hinder or promote growth. The chemical substances generated through allelopathy can be potential tool to control agricultural important pests. Allelopathy can replace agrochemicals for crop disease and pest management. Agrochemical used in agriculture pollute the environment, lowers food quality, and increases disease-resistant biotypes. An agronomist can collaborate with a molecular scientist or plant breeder to selectively boost disease suppression by understanding allelopathy's physiological foundation. Allelochemicals are natural pesticides that fight disease, weeds, and insects, according to experts. Disease management strategies have been redesigned recently. Frequently, structural modifications or the synthesis of chemical analogs increase their bioactivity. Even though the progress in this regard is sluggish, some encouraging results are emerging, and many more are anticipated in the near future. This review attempts to discuss these characteristics of allelopathy for the rational management of diseases.

Published: October 2023

The proliferation of ordered cellular structures in industrial and technological applications is justified by their superior mechanical performance, including tunable energy absorption strategies and potential multifunctionality. This research evaluates the mechanical response of composite lattice structures fabricated using vat photopolymerization additive manufacturing process and printable particulate composite materials. Several generations of modified printable resins are prepared by hybridizing flexible resin with varying glass microballoons reinforcement weight percentages. Multifaceted characterization regiments highlight the process–property–performance interrelationship by submitting printed composite structures to quasi‐static and impact‐loading scenarios combined with digital stills and high‐speed photography, respectively. Image analyses of optical and scanning electron micrographs quantify the dimensional accuracy of the composite lattice structures with cylindrical and hexagonal cellular geometries. The mechanical characterization uncovers the effect of cell geometry and reinforcement on the global structural behavior, eliciting differences in load‐bearing capacity, local strain developments, and structural densification. Exploratory digital image correlation supports the global structural deformations, revealing their relationship with the developed local strain state within the unit cells. The outcomes of this research elucidate the effect of strain rate, unit cell geometry, and reinforcing ratios on the structural performance of composite lattice structures at the macro‐ and microstructure levels.

Cation‐disordered rock salts (DRXs) are well known for their potential to realize the goal of achieving scalable Ni‐ and Co‐free high‐energy‐density Li‐ion batteries. Unlike in most cathode materials, the disordered cation distribution may lead to more factors that control the electrochemistry of DRXs. An important variable that is not emphasized by research community is regarding whether a DRX exists in a more thermodynamically stable form or a more metastable form. Moreover, within the scope of metastable DRXs, over‐stoichiometric DRXs, which allow relaxation of the site balance constraint of a rock salt structure, are particularly underexplored. In this work, these findings are reported in locating a generally applicable approach to “metastabilize” thermodynamically stable Mn‐based DRXs to metastable ones by introducing Li over‐stoichiometry. The over‐stoichiometric metastabilization greatly stimulates more redox activities, enables better reversibility of Li deintercalation/intercalation, and changes the energy storage mechanism. The metastabilized DRXs can be transformed back to the thermodynamically stable form, which also reverts the electrochemical properties, further contrasting the two categories of DRXs. This work enriches the structural and compositional space of DRX families and adds new pathways for rationally tuning the properties of DRX cathodes.

Peripheral neuropathy characterized by rapidly increasing numbers of patients is commonly diagnosed via analyzing electromyography signals obtained from stimulation‐recording devices. However, existing commercial electrodes have difficulty in implementing conformal contact with skin and gentle detachment, dramatically impairing stimulation/recording performances. Here, this work develops on‐skin patches with polyaspartic acid‐modified dopamine/ethyl‐based ionic liquid hydrogel (PDEH) as stimulation/recording devices to capture electromyography signals for the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy. Triggered by a one‐step electric field treatment, the hydrogel achieves rapid and wide‐range regulation of adhesion and substantially strengthened mechanical performances. Moreover, hydrogel patches assembled with a silver‐liquid metal (SLM) layer exhibit superior charge injection and low contact impedance, capable of capturing high‐fidelity electromyography. This work further verifies the feasibility of hydrogel devices for accurate diagnoses of peripheral neuropathy in sensory, motor, and mixed nerves. For various body parts, such as fingers, the elderly's loose skin, hairy skin, and children's fragile skin, this work regulates the adhesion of PDEH‐SLM devices to establish intimate device/skin interfaces or ensure benign removal. Noticeably, hydrogel patches achieve precise diagnoses of nerve injuries in these clinical cases while providing extra advantages of more effective stimulation/recording performances. These patches offer a promising alternative for the diagnosis and rehabilitation of neuropathy in future.

Microsupercapacitors (µSCs) have received a lot of interest for their possible use in miniaturized electronics and in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT) to power distributed sensors. µSCs fill the gap between batteries and traditional capacitors, providing high power densities and acceptable energy densities to fulfill onboard power supply requirements, coupled with quick charge/discharge rates and extended lifetime. Charge balancing of µSCs is not a standard practice, although the optimization of electrodes can provide beneficial effects on the electrochemical performance and stability of the device. In this work, a charge‐balanced double‐layer µSC based on laser‐induced graphene (LIG) with [PYR14][TFSI] as an ionic liquid electrolyte is presented for the first time. The optimized device shows an improvement in terms of the increased lifetime of a factor of four and its energy efficiency is raised above 80%.
