The world was stuck by a deadly virus last year, which stopped the world and changed it completely. The virus was given the name “Corona.” It has had an everlasting effect on human lives which has caused a lot of people to study about it, following the trend we have chosen “Prediction and analysis of Covid - 19 with different ML algorithms and comparative analysis” as the title of this paper. The title of the paper is self-explanatory to explain what the paper is about and what technology will be used in the paper. The paper will use data cleaning and plotting techniques to analyse the impact and effect of Covid on human lives and various algorithms to predict how vulnerable the person is to the virus / predict whether a person suffered from Covid or not based on various parameters. The main ingredient of the paper will be the data on which the model will be built, will be collected through various Google forms or through open source data websites such as Kaggle. The paper would be divided into various parts, which will include data collection, data cleaning, data plotting etc. After cleaning of data and building of models using various ML algorithms, findings will be reported in a form of report using various plots to favour the findings of the various models.

O PROGRAMA DE EDUCAÇÃO FISCAL (PEF) E SUA CONTRIBUIÇÃO NO FORTALECIMENTO E CONSCIENTIZAÇÃO DA CIDADANIA
Authors: Rocha Vania Lima de Sousa , Pordeus Marcel Pereira
Published: October 2021

Este artigo é uma síntese da minha dissertação de mestrado em Ciências da Educação. Portanto, tratamos o viés da temática com apoio de outros pesquisadores, no intento de permear a formação cidadã como mote engajador social para a educação. Deste fato, sabemos que a educação é um dos pilares no processo educacional, constituindo num marco de edificação de uma consciência cidadã, proporcionando aos educandos, não somente o saber sistematizado, mas, sobretudo, o conhecimento de seus direitos e deveres. Para o exercício da cidadania fiscal, faz-se necessário que adquiram uma consciência fiscal, tendo por interesse primeiro, o bem-estar comum. Dessa forma, o tema aqui apresentado buscou investigar se a implementação do Programa de Educação Fiscal (PEF), a partir da prática pedagógica do professor, contribui para o despertar de um processo de reflexão crítica dos alunos à luz do tema transversal educação fiscal inserido de forma interdisciplinar no currículo escolar. Para tanto, o referencial teórico e metodológico embasou-se em autores como: Dallari (1998), Lima (2008), Merlo e Pertuzatti (2005), Jacomeli (2007), Yus (1998), Freire (1996) Marconi (2003) dentre outros, bem como documentos legais e manuais disponíveis na Internet. Como delimitação desse estudo foi selecionada a Escola Estadual de Ensino Profissional (EEEP) Júlio França, localizada no município de Bela Cruz – Ceará (CE), pertencente a 3ª Coordenadoria Regional de Desenvolvimento da Educação (CREDE) de Acaraú, referente as ações desenvolvidas no ano de 2016. Tendo em vista a necessidade de sensibilizar o aluno para a função socioeconômica do tributo, procuraram-se respostas para o seguinte problema que norteia essa pesquisa: Como promover a conscientização de alunos nas escolas para o fortalecimento do exercício da cidadania a partir da educação fiscal na interdisciplinaridade? Assim, o PEF vem contribuindo para que o Estado cumpra seu papel constitucional de reduzir as desigualdades sociais e ser instrumento de fortalecimento permanente da democracia, uma vez que favorece o despertar de uma consciência crítica e reflexiva acerca dos direitos e deveres do cidadão na sociedade.
Understanding the influence of combustion on atmospheric CO2 over Europe by using satellite observations of CO2 and reactive trace gases

Published: October 2021

Abstract. We assess how nitrogen oxides (NOx = NO + NO2), carbon monoxide (CO) and formaldehyde (HCHO) can be used as proxies to determine the combustion contribution to atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) using satellite observations. We focus our analysis on 2018 when there is a full complement of column data from the TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument (NO2, CO, and HCHO) and the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (CO2). We use the nested GEOS-Chem atmospheric chemistry model to relate high-resolution emission inventories over Europe to these atmospheric data, taking into account scene-dependent averaging kernels. We find that that NO2 and CO are the better candidates to identify incomplete combustion and fingerprints of different combustion sectors, but both have their own challenges associated with properly describing their atmospheric chemistry. The secondary source of HCHO from oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds, particularly over southern European countries, compromises its use as a proxy for combustion emissions. We find a weak positive correlation between the CO : CO2 inventory ratio and observed column enhancements of ΔCO : ΔCO2 (R < 0.2), suggesting some consistency and linearity in CO chemistry and transport. However, we find a stronger negative correlation between the NOx : CO2 inventory ratio and observed column enhancements of ΔNO2 :ΔCO2 (R < 0.50), driven by non-linear photochemistry. Both of these observed ratios are described well by the GEOS-Chem atmospheric chemistry transport model, providing confidence of the quality of the emission inventory and that the model is a useful tool for interpreting these tracer-tracer ratios. Our results also provide some confidence in our ability to develop a robust method to infer combustion CO2 emission estimates using satellite observations of reactive trace gases that have up until now mostly been used to study surface air quality.
Assessing the potential efficacy of marine cloud brightening for cooling Earth using a simple heuristic model
Authors: Wood Robert
Published: October 2021

Abstract. A simple heuristic model is described to assess the potential for
increasing solar reflection by augmenting the aerosol population below
marine low clouds, which nominally leads to increased cloud droplet
concentration and albedo. The model estimates the collective impact of many
point source particle sprayers, each of which generates a plume of injected
particles that affects clouds over a limited area. A look-up table derived
from simulations of an explicit aerosol activation scheme is used to derive
cloud droplet concentration as a function of the sub-cloud aerosol size
distribution and updraft speed, and a modified version of Twomey's
formulation is used to estimate radiative forcing. Plume overlap is
accounted for using a Poisson distribution, assuming idealized elongated
cuboid plumes that have a length driven by aerosol lifetime and wind speed,
a width consistent with satellite observations of ship track broadening, and a depth equal to an assumed boundary layer depth. The model is found to
perform favorably against estimates of brightening from large eddy
simulation studies that explicitly model cloud responses to aerosol
injections over a range of conditions. Although the heuristic model does not account for cloud condensate or coverage adjustments to aerosol, in most realistic ambient remote marine conditions these tend to augment the Twomey effect in the large eddy simulations, with the result being a modest
underprediction of brightening in the heuristic model. The heuristic model is used to evaluate the potential for global radiative
forcing from marine cloud brightening as a function of the quantity, size,
and lifetime of salt particles injected per sprayer and the number of
sprayers deployed. Radiative forcing is sensitive to both the background
aerosol size distribution in the marine boundary layer into which particles
are injected and the assumed updraft speed. Given representative values
from the literature, radiative forcing sufficient to offset a doubling of
carbon dioxide ΔF2×CO2 is possible but would require spraying 50 % or more of the ocean area. This is likely to require at least 104 sprayers to avoid major losses of particles due to near-sprayer coagulation. The optimal dry diameter of injected particles, for a given salt mass injection rate, is 30–60 nm. A major consequence is that the total salt emission rate (50–70 Tg yr−1) required to offset ΔF2×CO2 is a factor of five lower than the emissions rates required to generate significant forcing in previous studies with climate models, which have mostly assumed dry diameters for injected particles in excess of 200 nm. With the lower required emissions, the salt mass loading in the marine boundary layer for ΔF2×CO2 is dominated by natural salt aerosol, with injected particles only contributing ∼ 10 %. When using particle sizes optimized for cloud brightening, the aerosol direct radiative forcing is shown to make a minimal contribution to the overall radiative forcing.
Revisiting five decades of 234Th data: a comprehensive global oceanic compilation
Authors: Ceballos-Romero Elena , Buesseler Ken O. , Villa-Alfageme María
Published: October 2021

Abstract. We present here a global oceanic compilation of 234Th measurements that collects results from researchers and laboratories over a period exceeding 50 years. The origin of the 234Th sampling in the ocean goes back to 1967, when Bhat et al. (1969) initially studied 234Th distribution relative to its parent 238U in the Indian Ocean. However, it was the seminal work of Buesseler et al. (1992) – in which it was proposed that particulate organic carbon (POC) flux could be calculated from 234Th distributions if the ratio of POC to 234Th measured on sinking particles (POC : 234Th) at the desired depth was known – that drove the extensive use of the 234Th-238U radioactive pair to evaluate the efficiency with which photosynthetically fixed carbon is exported from surface ocean by means of the biological pump. Since then, a large number of 234Th depth profiles have been collected using a variety of sampling instruments and strategies that have changed the past 50 years. The present compilation is made of a total 223 datasets: 214 from studies published either in articles in referred journals, PhD thesis or repositories, and 9 unpublished datasets. The data were compiled from over 5000 locations spanning all the oceans for total 234Th profiles, dissolved and particulate 234Th concentrations, and POC : 234Th ratios (both sediment traps and filtration methods that include two sizes classes; 1–53 µm and < 53 µm). A total of 379 oceanographic expeditions and more than 56000 234Th and 18000 238U data points have been gathered in a single open-access, long-term and dynamic repository. This paper introduces the dataset along with informative and descriptive graphics. Appropriate metadata have been included, including geographic location, date, and sample depth, among others. When available, we also include water temperature, salinity, 238U data and particulate organic nitrogen data. Data sources and methods information (including 238U and 234Th) are also detailed along with valuable information for future data analysis such as bloom stage and steady/non-steady state conditions at the sampling moment. The data are archived on PANGAEA repository, with the dataset’s DOI doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.918125 (Ceballos-Romero et al., 2021). This provides a valuable resource to better understand and quantify how the contemporary oceanic carbon uptake functions and how it will change in future.
Topo-bathymetric and oceanographic datasets for coastal flooding risk assessment: French Flooding Prevention Action Program of Saint-Malo
Authors: Seyfried Léo , Biscara Laurie , Leckler Fabien , Pasquet Audrey , Michaud Héloise
Published: October 2021

Abstract. The French Flooding Prevention Action Program of Saint-Malo requires assessment of coastal flooding risks. The first prerequisite is a knowledge of the topography and bathymetry of the bay of Saint-Malo. In addition to existing topo-bathymetric data, the acquisition of new multibeam bathymetric data is performed. The combination of these datasets allows the generation of two high resolution topo-bathymetric digital terrain models. Then, to understand the hydrodynamic conditions which cause coastal flooding, a dense and extensive oceanographic field experiment is conducted. Oceanographic data were acquired using a network of 22 moorings with 37 sensors, during winter 2018–2019. The network included 2 directional buoys, 2 pressure tide gauges, 18 wave pressure gauges, 4 single-point current meters, 7 current profilers and 4 acoustic wave-current profilers from mid-depth (25 m) up to the upper beach and the dike system. The oceanographic dataset provides an overview of hydrodynamics in Saint-Malo bay and wave processes leading to coastal flooding. The combination of high-resolution topo-bathymetric and oceanographic datasets provides a unique capability for model validation and process studies. The topo-bathymetric and oceanographic datasets are available freely at doi : https://doi.org/10.17183/MNT_COTIER_GNB_PAPI_SM_20m_WGS84, https://doi.org/10.17183/MNT_COTIER_PORT_SM_PAPI_SM_5m_WGS84,  and https://doi.org/10.17183/CAMPAGNE_OCEANO_STMALO.
Regional evaluation of the performance of the global CAMS chemical modeling system over the United States (IFS cycle 47r1)

Published: October 2021

Abstract. The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides routine analyses and forecasts of trace gases and aerosols on a global scale. The core is ECMWF’s Integrated Forecast System (IFS), where modules for atmospheric chemistry and aerosols have been introduced, and which allows data-assimilation of satellite retrievals of composition. We have updated both the homogeneous and heterogeneous NOx chemistry applied in the three independent tropospheric-stratospheric chemistry modules maintained within CAMS, referred to as IFS(CB05BASCOE), IFS(MOCAGE) and IFS(MOZART). Here we focus on the evaluation of main trace gas products from these modules that are of interest as markers of air quality, namely lower tropospheric O3, NO2 and CO, with a regional focus over the contiguous United States without data assimilation. Evaluation against lower tropospheric composition reveals overall good performance, with chemically induced biases within 10 ppb across species across regions within the US with respect to a range of observations. The versions show overall equal or better performance than the CAMS Reanalysis. Evaluation of surface air quality aspects shows that annual cycles are captured well, albeit with variable seasonal biases. During wintertime conditions there is a large model spread between chemistry schemes in lower-tropospheric O3 (~10–35 %) and, in turn, oxidative capacity related to NOx lifetime differences. Analysis of differences in the HNO3 and PAN formation, which act as reservoirs for reactive nitrogen, revealed a general underestimate in PAN formation over polluted regions likely due to too low organic precursors. Particularly during wintertime, the fraction of NO2 sequestered into PAN has a variability of 100 % across chemistry modules indicating the need for further constraints. Notably a considerable uncertainty in HNO3 formation associated with wintertime N2O5 conversion on wet particle surfaces remains. In summary this study has indicated that the chemically induced differences in the quality of CAMS forecast products over the United States depends on season, trace gas, altitude and region. Whilst analysis of the three chemistry modules in CAMS provide a strong handle on uncertainties associated with chemistry modeling, the further improvement of operational products additionally requires coordinated development involving emissions handling, chemistry and aerosol modeling, complemented with data-assimilation efforts.
A global climatology of polar lows investigated for local differences and wind-shear environments
Authors: Stoll Patrick Johannes
Published: October 2021

Abstract. Polar lows are intense mesoscale cyclones developing in marine polar air masses. This study presents a new global climatology of polar lows based on the ERA-5 reanalysis for the years 1979–2020. Criteria for the detection of polar lows are derived based on a comparison of six polar-low archives with cyclones derived by a mesoscale tracking algorithm. The characteristics associated with polar lows are considered by the criteria: (i) intense cyclone: large relative vorticity, (ii) mesoscale: small vortex diameter, and (iii) development in the marine polar air masses: combination of low dry-static stability and low potential temperature at the tropopause. Polar lows develop in all marine areas adjacent to sea ice or cold landmasses, mainly in the winter half-year. The length and intensity of the season are regionally dependent. The highest density appears in the Nordic Seas. For all ocean sub-basins, forward-shear polar lows are the most common, whereas weak shear and those propagating towards warmer environments are second and third most frequent, depending on the area. Reverse-shear polar lows and those propagating towards colder environments are rather seldom, especially in the Southern Ocean. Generally, PLs share many characteristics across ocean basins and wind-shear categories. The most remarkable difference is that forward-shear polar lows are often occurring in stronger vertical wind shear, whereas reverse-shear polar lows feature lower static stability. Hence, the contribution to a fast baroclinic growth rate is slightly different for the shear categories.

У статті констатовано, що «вор в законі» є одним із видів осіб, які перебувають у статусі суб’єкта підвищеного злочинного впливу та характеризується такими ознаками, як наяв- ність авторитету, наявність інших особистих якостей і можливостей; здійснення злочинного впливу та координація злочинної діяльності інших осіб, які здійснюють злочинний вплив. Констатовано, що слово «вор» є русизмом, а сам зворот «вор в законі» - жаргон, викорис- тання якого є неприйнятним у Кримінальному кодексі України, що порушує вимогу офі- ційного характеру. Зворот «вор в законі» у Кримінальному кодексі несе в собі змістовну проблему, яка полягає у розкритті ознак цього поняття за допомогою оцінної лексики, що є порушенням вимоги правової визначеності. З аналізу проміжних рішень у кримінальному провадженні та остаточних судових рішень в адміністративному судочинстві, в яких вирі- шувалося питання про скасування рішень уповноважених органів на заборону в’їзду на територію України іноземним громадянам через наявність у них статусу «вора в законі», виявлено критерії, що використовують суди для встановлення того, що особа мала статус «вора в законі».

Published: October 2021

29 грудня 2020 року на підставі клопотання тимчасово виконуючого обов’язки Генерально- го прокурора України Президент України видав Указ № 607/2020 про відсторонення від поса- ди судді Конституційного Суду України Олександра Тупицького строком на два місяці. Таким чином, вперше в історії України Президент скористався повноваженнями, передбаченими час- тиною третьою статті 154 Кримінального процесуального кодексу України, у відношенні судді Конституційного Суду України. Цей крок викликав досить палкі дискусії в юридичній спільно- ті. Адже Конституція України не наділяє Президента правом «відсторонення від посади судді Конституційного Суду». Крім того, слід звернути увагу, що ні в Конституції України, ні в законі України «Про Конституційний Суд України», ні в регламенті Конституційного Суду не врегульо- вано питання тимчасового відсторонення від посади судді Конституційного Суду України. В умовах трансформації українського суспільства та системи державної влади Конститу- ційному Суду України належить вирішальна роль у забезпеченні верховенства Конституції, гарантуванні конституційного порядку та забезпеченні прав і свобод людини. Винятково важлива роль органу конституційного правосуддя зумовлює необхідність забезпечити його незалежність. Саме тому гарантії незалежності суддів Конституційного Суду України є вкрай важливим питанням сьогодення. Статтю присвячено аналізу інституту імунітету суддів Конституційного Суду України. Досліджується питання конституційності указу Президента України щодо тимчасового від- сторонення судді Конституційного Суду України від посади. Зосереджено увагу на імунітеті судді Конституційного Суду України в кримінальному провадженні. Проаналізовано чинне законодавство України щодо можливості застосування до судді Конституційного Суду України такого заходу забезпечення кримінального провадження, як відсторонення від посади, виявлено в ньому відповідні прогалини та суперечності.

Photography, memory, metonymy or, W.G. Sebald’s Vertigo
Authors: Seale Kirsten
Published: October 2021

The precarious and vertiginous quality of memory is a continuous thread running the extent

of W.G. Sebald’s writing. In Sebald’s first novel Vertigo (1990), the attributes of memory

are explored through its metonymic relation with photography. Broadly speaking, one of

photography’s functions is to metonymically represent memory. For Sebald, however, this

metonymy is unreliable and unpredictable. The febrile, fragmented, and ultimately

autonomous memories triggered by the metonym are the cause of the vertigo in the title.

Sebald’s vertiginous metonymy leads us to Roland Barthes’ notion of the punctum. In his

meditation on photography Camera lucida (2000) Barthes explicitly states that the

photograph’s punctum performs metonymically. ‘However lightning-like it may be,’ he

writes, ’the punctum has, more or less potentially, a power of expansion. This power is

often metonymic’ (45). Barthes’ theory provides an analytical framework for

understanding Sebald’s aetiology of vertigo and his narrative treatment of the metonymic

encounter between memory and photography.
Development of a two-level control system for the analysis of the composition of meat products
Authors: Vostrikova Natalya , Khvostov Daniil , Zherdev Anatoly , Minaev Mikhail , Zvereva Elena
Published: October 2021

Because of the increased demand for processed meat, there is an urgent need to introduce specific identification methods. Strategies such as molecular genetics and the physical condition of meat are used to quickly explore multi-component products. However, a single methodology does not always unambiguously classify a product as counterfeit. In laboratory practice, as a rule, screening techniques are rarely used in the first stage, followed by arbitration. This work aimed to study individual methodologies using artificially falsified meat samples as examples and to identify their composition based on muscle tissue. For the experiments, the three most common types of raw meat were selected: pork, beef, and chicken. The calculation of the content of muscle tissue was carried out according to the BEFFE method. The study of muscle protein was carried out by ICA, ELISA, PCR, microstructural analysis, and mass spectrometric identification. In this connection, we proposed a multilevel control system for multicomponent meat products. Both classical methodologies, such as calculation by prescription bookmarks (BEFFE) and microstructural analysis, and approaches of highly sensitive methodologies, such as identification of muscle tissue by marker peptides (LC/MS-MRM) and semi-quantitative PCR analysis, were evaluated.
Helminthofauna of the fox (Vulpes vulpes) and korsak (Vulpes corsac)

For humans and domestic animals, parasites of wild animals can pose a threat to health, and even life. In this regard, it is important to establish the pathways of circulation of pathogens of dangerous helminthiasis, to identify the nature of the focus and the role of wild animals in this process, since these data serve as the basis for the development of anti-parasite measures. The study of parasitic organisms of wild animals is of great importance for science and practice. In natural biocenosis, one of their joints is parasitic species, which, on the one hand, are involved in the regulation of the host population; on the other hand, they prevent the introduction and spread of new species related to the host, i.e. participate in ensuring homeostasis of biocenosis. Parasitizing in various hosts, both definitive and intermediate, helminthes can determine the number and distribution over the territory not only of these hosts, but also of other animal species associated with these hosts by trophic and other connections. The foregoing determines the relevance of the problem of studying the fauna of helminthes of wild animals in the West Kazakhstan region, which is currently under-researched. The species composition of helminthes of the fox (Vulpes vulpes) and the korsak (Vulpes corsac) in the territory of the West-Kazakhstan region region was explored. In most cases, the invasion was recorded in an associative form. Some helminthes cause serious diseases in humans and farm animals. As a result of our research, we identified 6 species of intestinal helminthes in the common fox, two of which (Alveococcus multilocularis, Toxocara canis) have epidemiological significance. In korsak, 3 types of helminthes were identified at the autopsy before the species.

The northern regions of Kazakhstan, including the Pavlodar region, are distinguished by a rich and diverse nature, combining floodplain, steppe and forest landscapes. More than 500 species of wild higher plants grow in our region, and many of them can be used as food. However, the problem of using regional wild plants for food has not yet been sufficiently studied. However, plants serve not only as a direct source of food, but also as a technological raw material for processing traditional food products – to obtain original taste qualities and maximum benefit. With the help of wild plants, you can solve many everyday problems-both at home and in the field conditions. Keywords: wild plants, technology, raw materials, introduced plants

It also estimated the economic implications of the condemned liver. A total of 17,325 cattle were examined in the three abattoirs over a period of 252 days (approximately 69 cattle/day) spanning over the wet and dry seasons; 1,683 cattle were infected with an overall prevalence of 9.71%. In Abattoir A, 11774 cattle were examined with 1069 (9.08%) prevalence. In Abattoirs B and C, 4352 and 1199 cattle, respectively, were examined and 563 (12.94%) and 51 (4.25%) were respectively infected. From the three abattoirs, 155 (0.89%) livers were considered unfit for human consumption due to F. gigantica infection. For the wet season, 1062 (10.89%) cattle livers were infected while 621 (8.20%) were infected during the dry season. The mean intensity of infection during the wet season was 37.80 and 30.42 during the dry season. The financial loss due to infected liver condemnation was at N803,160 (1,947.050USD) showing that liver condemnation arising from F. gigantica infection is a major cause of financial loss to cattle farmers and dealers. There is, therefore, need for adequate veterinary inspections for early detection and treatment of the disease. There should be more meat inspection, especially in private/individual abattoirs.

Objective: to report a rare case of impaction of a primary mandibular incisor due to the presence of a compound odontoma and describe its clinical management. Case report: a 4-year-old boy presented with a“missing” primary left mandibular lateral incisor. Radiographs showed impaction of the unerupted incisorby adjacent radiopaque structures consistent with a compound odontoma. The patient was recalled periodically for 2 years, at which time surgical excision was performed. The diagnosis of compound odontoma was confirmed histologically, and the permanent mandibular central incisors erupted uneventfully; the patient was referred for orthodontic treatment. Final considerations: this case report describes an unusual case of compound odontoma associated with an unerupted deciduous tooth; odontomas are rare in this age range, occurring predominantly in the second decade of life and in association with impaction of permanent teeth. We also propose a protocol for clinical management of such early-onset cases.

Published: October 2021

O objetivo do presente estudo foi revisar a literatura dos últimos cinco anos e identificar os índices de sobrevivência, principais causas de falha relatadas e verificar a confiabilidade dos laminados cerâmicos como tratamento estético e funcional em longo prazo. Métodos: foi realizada uma busca ativa na Biblioteca Nacional de Medicina dos Estados Unidos (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), através da base de dados Medline, dos últimos cinco anos (2015-2020) na língua inglesa, utilizando os descritores: Laminate Veneers, Porcelain Laminate Veneers e Ceramic Laminate Veneers, que resultou em 35 artigos. Após a leitura dos resumos, foram excluídos 9 estudos que utilizaram laminados cerâmicos não produzidos em cerâmicas feldspáticas, ou vidro ceramizados reforçados por cristais de leucita, ou dissilicato de lítio. Foram selecionados 26 artigos categorizados como: relatos de caso, estudos clínicos, estudos in vitro e revisões de literatura. Resultados: os estudos apontaram índices de sobrevivência de 100%, após 2 anos de cimentação, até valores superiores a 80%, após 14 anos. As três principais causas de falhas apontadas foram: desadaptação de marginal (37%), pigmentação das margens (30%) e fratura ou lascamento das restaurações (3%). Considerações finais: dentro das limitações do estudo, foi possível concluir que as principais causas de falha estão associadas às margens da restauração, no entanto, os laminados cerâmicos podem atingir índices elevados de sobrevivência mesmo 14 anos após a cimentação, mostrando um alto nível de confiabilidade.
International Real Estate Review
Authors:   Swiss Banking Institute, Borowiecki Karol Jan
Published: October 2021

This paper studies the Swiss housing price determinants. The Swiss housing economy is reproduced by employing a macro- series from the last seventeen years and constructing a vector-autoregressive model. Conditional on a comparatively broad set of fundamental determinants considered, i.e. wealth, banking, demographic and real estate specific variables, the following findings are made: 1) real house price growth and construction activity dynamics are most sensitive to changes in population and construction prices, whereas real GDP, in contrary to common empirical findings in other countries, turns out to have only a minor impact in the short-term, 2) exogenous house price shocks have no long-term impacts on housing supply and vice versa, and 3) despite the recent substantial price increases, worries of overvaluation are unfounded. Furthermore, based on a self-constructed quality index, evidence is provided for a positive impact of quality improvements in supplied dwellings on house prices.

O capitalismo e a educação
Authors: Vieira Lopes Quenizia , Sobral Silva Maiara , Regina de Jesus Santos Adriana
Published: October 2021

A história da educação no decorrer dos tempos tem sofrido influências políticas, econômicas, sociais e culturais impulsionadas pela conjuntura em que está introduzida. Os sistemas dominantes têm buscado com que a educação atue como instrumento auxiliador para que estes alcancem as suas finalidades. Em referência ao capitalismo identifica-se que para este a educação não é indiferente: também serve como ferramenta para que os seus interesses sejam alcançados, utilizando-a como um dos seus mecanismos de suporte. Assim, busca-se, por meio deste trabalho, realizar uma análise do capitalismo correlacionando-o com o contexto educacional na sociedade contemporânea, com vistas a identificar as interferências que a educação sofre na conjuntura correspondente. Percebe-se que a autonomia no contexto educacional é limitada, e quase sempre sofre pressões do sistema dominante. Depreende-se que a união e o entendimento de todos que compõem o processo educacional, em uma mesma direção, é fundamental para uma nova forma de conduzir o processo.
