Authors:   Student of SOA, IPS Academy, Indore, Garg Aanya
Published: April 2024

As built environment professionals face more pressing and difficult issues related to climate change mitigation and adaptation, it can be useful to look at examples of how other living organisms or ecosystems have solved the same problems. This paper examines global climate change impacts on society and ecosystems, primarily caused by human activities and built environments. It explores how buildings can mitigate climate change drivers while adapting to ongoing challenges. Through interdisciplinary perspectives and case studies, it presents strategies for climate-resilient building design. Looking at plants or animals that are highly adaptable or survive extreme climates or climate change can provide insight into how buildings could or should work. Exploring the properties of ecosystems that enable their adaptability and resilience can also offer potential opportunities. Therefore, this chapter explores whether bio mimicry, where organisms or ecosystems are imitated in human design, can be an effective means of mitigating the causes of climate change for which the built environment is responsible, or adapting to the effects on climate change. Different bio mimicry designs are discussed and categorized, a case study and examples illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. In light of the findings of the study, it is argued that an ecosystem-mimicking model that exploits synergies between climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies can be useful for the long-term biomimetic response of the built environment to climate to change there are also presented theoretical justifications that support it. Key Words: Biomimicry, Climate Change, Adaptation.

Published: April 2024

Boosting Instagram Visibility project aims to enhance the visibility of Instagram posts by leveraging machine learning techniques. We follow a systematic process to analyze data gathered from Instagram posts, including details like post content, engagement metrics, and usage of hashtags. Firstly, we collect relevant data from Instagram through various means, ensuring we capture essential information such as post text, engagement metrics, and user demographics. This serves as the foundation for our analysis. Next, we preprocess the collected data to ensure its quality and consistency. We clean the data, handle missing values, and preprocess text to make it suitable for analysis. We then select or extract meaningful features from the data that are crucial for predicting post visibility. These features could include post content, engagement metrics, timing, and demographic information. With the features identified, we choose appropriate machine learning algorithms to analyze the data. These algorithms are selected based on the nature of the prediction task and the characteristics of the dataset. We train the selected machine learning model using the preprocessed data, splitting it into training and validation sets to evaluate the model's performance. After training, we evaluate the model's performance using metrics such as mean absolute error (MAE) or accuracy. This helps us understand how well the model predicts post reach based on the provided features. Using the trained model, we make predictions on new or unseen data, providing insights into the potential visibility of Instagram posts. Through interpretation and analysis of the model predictions, we gain insights into the factors that contribute most to post visibility, helping users optimize their Instagram strategies. Finally, we iterate on the model and process based on feedback and insights gained, continuously refining our approach to improve prediction accuracy.

‘Leaving the street game’ – a longitudinal ethnography (N=1) of gang desistance

This article centers on the process of (gang) desistance of Jermaine, a man with a substantial criminal record who has been part of the Dutch Crips gang for over a decade. From a phenomenological perspective, drawing on 15 years of longitudinal ethnographic research, Jermaine’s process of desistance is described, with specific attention for his first steps in leaving gang and street life behind, his search for regular work, and the transformation of his (gang) identity. This life story illustrates how much desistance should be understood as a struggle, accompanied by periods of relapsing into old patterns of (criminal) behavior. In addition to these more practical challenges in terms of act-desistance (Nugent and Schinkel, 2016), Jermaine’s story showcases the importance of identity in the process of desistance. Above all, Jermaine’s story indicates that for some, desistance means that the old criminal or gang identity does not need to be casted aside, but that it become part of the new identity of the desister.

Published: April 2024

Na renovação das áreas de cana-de-açúcar, o excessivo revolvimento do solo associado a ausência de cobertura vegetal tem levado a degradação do solo. O uso de plantas de cobertura antecedendo a implantação da cana é uma alternativa promissora para reduzir esta degradação, no entanto, pouco se conhece sobre seus efeitos no solo, bem como desenvolvimento e nutrição da cana. Objetivou-se em uma área de renovação de cana-de-açúcar, avaliar a influência que o cultivo de milheto – Panissetum glaucum, crotalária juncea – Crotalária juncea e braquiária – Brachiaria ruziziensis antecedendo a implantação da cana proporciona nos atributos químicos e físicos do solo, bem como no desenvolvimento e estado nutricional da cana. O cultivo destas espécies foi eficiente em melhorar os atributos físicos do solo e químicos do solo até 0,4m de profundidade, proporcionando menor resistência mecânica do solo a penetração, maior macroporosidade, microporosidade e porosidade total. Também proporcionou teores mais elevados de Ca, Mg e potássio no solo, com destaque para o milheto, denotando a eficiência do mesmo como reciclador de K. Quanto ao aspecto nutricional e desenvolvimento da cana, contribuiu para elevar o teor de fósforo, bem como de nitrogênio (após milheto) e de enxofre, ferro e manganês, (após crotalária), resultando na emissão de mais perfilhos.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo a análise do desenvolvimento do Direito Internacional Ambiental e sua influência nas relações e no ordenamento jurídico internacional, a partir do exame do caso que envolveu a demanda da Austrália contra o Japão perante a Corte Internacional de Justiça – CIJ, e que teve a Nova Zelândia como interveniente, acerca de violações cometidas pelo Japão à Convenção Internacional de Regulamentação da Pesca Baleeira (International Convention For The Regulation Of Whaling – ICRW), no qual se verificou a evolução e a modificação de interpretação da ICRW, que inicialmente visava tão somente garantir o comércio baleeiro, passando a ser, posteriormente, um dos instrumentos de proteção às baleias e ao meio ambiente marinho. Nesse sentido, este artigo trouxe uma análise dos aspectos gerais do direito internacional clássico, abordando o seu conceito, instrumentos e desenvolvimento, assim como o seu desenvolvimento e o surgimento do direito internacional ambiental. Desta maneira, o artigo abordou os principais elementos sobre a Convenção e a disputa entre a Austrália e o Japão, por violações à ICRW pelo Japão através de seu programa científico denominado JARPA II. Discorreu-se, ainda, sobre a decisão da CIJ e o voto em separado do juiz brasileiro Antônio Cançado Trindade, o qual levantou fundamentos principiológicos do Direito Internacional Ambiental como possíveis fundamentos de aplicação ao caso. A partir daí, realizou-se uma análise geral quanto a influência do direito internacional ambiental nos Tratados e Convenções Internacionais. A metodologia utilizada foi o método dedutivo, com abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa bibliográfica. Concluiu-se que houve o desenvolvimento do Direito Internacional Clássico para o Direito Internacional Moderno, promovendo a gênese do Direito Internacional Ambiental, e este, por sua vez, vem tendo um crescente desenvolvimento e fortalecimento, inclusive com o surgimento da noção de direito supra-humano. Verificou-se, assim, que houve um aumento de sua abrangência em razão dos graves problemas ambientais eclodidos com a era moderna. Por derradeiro, concluiu-se que há acrescente tendência de convergência e unificação do Direito Internacional geral e das relações internacionais aos princípios e normas do Direito Internacional Ambiental.

O presente estudo tem por objetivo descrever a relação entre a cirurgia bariátrica e o desenvolvimento de deficiência de cobalamina. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa, utilizando dados de artigos indexados nas bases de dados LILACS, MEDLINE, IBECS e SCIELO, na amostra temporal de 2004 a 2024 e nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol. A cirurgia bariátrica é uma opção terapêutica para casos de obesidade mórbida, reduzindo o peso de forma sustentada, comorbidades e mortalidade. Entretanto, o procedimento pode causar complicações em longo prazo, como a deficiência de cobalamina (vitamina B-12). Tal quadro carencial é influenciado pelo tipo de procedimento e pelas reservas vitamínicas antes da cirurgia, podendo causar graves complicações ao paciente, como manifestações neurológicas, aumento de risco cardiovascular e desenvolvimento de anemia megaloblástica.  Assim, a adoção de condutas preventivas durante o pré e pós-operatório permitem menores desfechos negativos.

The novelty of the work is to scrutinize for the first time the 4R,5S- 2,4,5-tris(4-ethoxy­phenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole (TEPI) as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel (C35E) in the acidic medium. The inhibitory properties of TEPI were assessed through various methods, including electrochemical, spectroscopic, and surface analysis, as well as quantum chemical calculations. The protective effect of C35E was seen to expand as the TEPI amount was extended but to diminish as temperature was augmented, fulfilling 98.3 % at 1 mM under 303 K. Certain thermodynamic and kinetic indices were estimated and explored. The TEPI complied with the Langmuir adsorption isotherm when it adsorbs on the C35E surface. TEPI behaviour was revealed by polarization trials to be of mixed type. The establishment of an adsorption-linked preventive TEPI layer on the C35E surface has been disclosed thanks to surface analysis. The outcomes of scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy clearly illustrate that TEPI can effi­ci­ently adsorb at the C35E interface, substantially reducing C35E steel corrosion. UV-visible analysis of the inhibited electrolyte clearly reveals the complexation of iron cations with TEPI molecules. The density functional theory, Monte Carlo and molecular dynamic simulation were adopted to check out the adsorption characteristics of the TEPI onto C35E surface. The laboratory outcomes have been proven by DFT and MDS.

Published: April 2024

El presente artículo hace referencia a elementos importantes acerca de la migración de las familias que se trasladan de su zona de origen a otro lugar, el cual forma uno de los inconvenientes más graves que ocurren en Colombia. La emigración, acarrea consigo canjes a nivel social, formativo, moralista, entre otros; y a la vez forma transformaciones en la personalidad de los individuos que inmigrar, ya que el medio circundante es totalmente desigual al del lugar de iniciación. Esta situación se lía aún más en la medida que los emigrados sobrellevan el aprovechamiento, separación, discriminación y otros impedimentos formativos y profesionales, sumado a la falta de afirmación del Estado hacia sus derechos humanos. Cabe señalar, que en el grupo familiar de la persona que viaja, se perciben otros inconvenientes, especialmente en los hijos, ya que tienden a desmotivarse en sus saberes, acogen cualidades de desobediencia o recogimiento y desagua en ausentismo, deserción escolar.

Es importante mencionar que los estudios manifiestan que, en una alto participación de los escolares colombianos, renuncian sus centros pedagógicos; contexto que es alarmante, puesto que, de no efectuar las operaciones oportunas, una alta participación de esos desertores apaleará un futuro perjudicial, por las pocas congruencias que poseerán para unirse a un campo competitivo y lo que también conmovería económica y socialmente a su futuro linaje. Se hace necesario reducir el porcentaje de deserción escolar en Colombia, pero esto demanda que las escuelas, profesionales de la docencia y algunas entidades profundicen las investigaciones con base al tema, e efectúen procedimientos transcendentales, acordes al escenario, necesidades y perspectivas de los alumnos de las diferentes comunidades.

Se   menciona como los maestros de esta época deben desarrollar en los estudiantes no solo procesos cognitivos, sino también competencias laborales, interpersonales, procedimentales y tecnológicas para que puedan enfrentar los retos de un mundo cada vez más globalizado. Se plantea de igual manera que los docentes se capaciten y aprovechen las Tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, como también la inteligencia artificial en las aulas de clases y puedan orientar a las generaciones en el uso adecuado de estas para adquirir un aprendizaje más significativo. También se hace hincapié en el verdadero rol de maestro como seres que inspiran a otros y en la formación desde la ética y la responsabilidad social.

Authors: Rita Coromoto Sánchez de Rosales.
Published: April 2024

La educación para la salud está considerada como el instrumento educativo supremo para llegar al empoderamiento individual de la salud, está sustentada sobre dos derechos constitucionales fundamentales como son: el derecho a la educación y el derecho a la salud. Es un proceso educativo necesario en la formación individual, comunitaria e institucional que va a permitir a las personas alcanzar una vida saludable y feliz. El propósito de este artículo es hacer una revisión conceptual de la educación para la salud desde el aporte de la medicina hipocrática hasta los conceptos, tendencias y proyecciones de la tercera década del siglo XXI, acentuando en el estilo de la alimentación recomendado para cada época. Educar para la salud, mediante un aprendizaje colaborativo, favorece el desarrollo pleno y consciente para asumir estilos de vida sanos que son la base para facilitar el completo bienestar físico y mental. Educar para la salud es favorecer el crecimiento armónico de la persona en todas las dimensiones y etapas de la vida, es inducir a las personas a adoptar costumbres sanas para el disfrute de una vida saludable que conduzca a una calidad de vida personal, familiar y comunitaria. Para la Organización Mundial de la Salud es “un estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y social”. En consecuencia, es educar lo físico en el cuerpo, es educar los pensamientos para una mente sana, y, educar en la formación permanente de hábitos sanos para una buena convivencia social. La metodología para la preparación de este artículo es la investigación documental con aplicación de un aparato critico cimentada en la investigación bibliohemerográfica con interacción académica del proceso enseñanza aprendizaje a través de foros, talleres, poscat, videos y entrevistas con profesionales de la salud y de educación para alcanzar un análisis y comprensión de los aspectos presentados en torno a la revisión conceptual de la educación para la salud hacia una vida saludable. Se escribe dentro del paradigma interpretativo con un enfoque cualitativo.

Background: performance evaluation is essential to ensure quality healthcare services, especially in the field of nursing. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the factorial structure, reliability, and invariance by sex and age of the work performance scale in Peruvian nurses. Methods: confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to evaluate the internal structure of the scale, and psychometric properties including reliability and convergent validity were determined. Additionally, factorial invariance was evaluated according to participants' sex and age. Results: the CFA supported the structure of three factors (Task Performance, Counterproductive Behaviors, Contextual Performance) and showed adequate and stable psychometric properties for a 12-item version (: χ2 = 231,09, df = 78; CFI = 0,97, TLI = 0,96, RMSEA = 0,06 (90 % CI: 0,05-0,06), and SRMR = 0,03). Strict factorial invariance was demonstrated for both sex and age, and adequate internal consistency was found for each dimension, as well as convergent validity. Conclusions: the work performance scale, in its 12-item version (IWPQ-P), is a valid and reliable measure for evaluating work performance in Peruvian nurses. Its factorial invariance by sex and age makes it a useful tool for future research and practical applications in nursing performance evaluation

Community resilience is the process by which the people who make up a population develop cognitive, socio-affective and behavioral mechanisms to face events that disrupt their balance. For instance, natural catastrophes, economic crisis or the presence of social factors, such as violence, which otherwise drive people to deploy personal and collective resources in order to mitigate its impact. The objective of the study was to analyze how the residents of the town of Asunción Ixtaltepec in the state of Oaxaca developed resilient ways to face the psychosocial consequences of the 2017 earthquakes, for which a Community Action Intervention Program was developed for the benefit of 420 people, whose age range was from 15 to 69 years. The data obtained reports that 81 % of the people developed community resilience, considering as main tools: a) favorable cognitive assessment about strengthening cohesion and social ties among the population, b) development of tranquility and psychosocial harmony as part of the recognition of collective actions to reduce the impact of seismic activity in the region and, c) the promotion of actions to reduce the psychological and psychosocial impact of seismic events

Published: April 2024

The use of Mucuna bracteata as a ground cover in oil palm plantations brings with it a serious drawback i.e. its rapid growth necessitates very frequent weeding of the circles resulting in higher requirement of workers and higher cost of weeding. By using a motorised hand-held grass cutter a worker could weed slightly more than thrice the number of circles achieved by manual weeding and the cost saving per hectare per round could be reduced by Rp 42 870 (10115.88). Keywords : Circle weeding, motorised cutter, Mucuna bracteata, oil palm.
