The integration of rubber plantations with agroforestry systems, or the under-forest economy, represents a pivotal shift towards sustainable agriculture in China. This paper reviews the latest research on agroforestry practices and innovations within China's rubber plantation under-forest economy, with a focus on the balance between economic productivity and environmental sustainability. We explore the adoption of diverse agroforestry models that incorporate rubber trees with other valuable plant species, aiming to enhance ecosystem services, biodiversity, and farmers' livelihoods. The review highlights significant advancements in sustainable management practices, including species selection, planting designs, and soil and water conservation techniques that contribute to the resilience of these systems against environmental stresses. Economic analyses underscore the potential for rubber agroforestry systems to improve income diversification and stability for rural communities while also navigating market challenges. Environmental assessments reveal the positive impacts of these practices on carbon sequestration, biodiversity preservation, and soil health, positioning rubber agroforestry as a beneficial strategy for mitigating climate change effects. However, the review also identifies challenges, including the need for supportive policy frameworks, access to knowledge and technology for smallholders, and further research on long-term sustainability outcomes. Future directions for research are proposed, emphasizing the integration of ecological, economic, and social dimensions to fully realize the potential of the rubber under-forest economy in China.
Knockdown of Stanniocalcin-1 inhibits growth and glycolysis in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells
Authors: Wang Chanyuan , Hu Jianpei , Wang Lijian
Published: July 2024

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignancy among head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Targeted therapy plays a crucial role in the treatment of OSCC. However, new and more targets are still needed to develop. Stanniocalcin-1 (STC-1) is a glycoprotein hormone that affects the progression of cancers. However, the potential role of STC-1 in OSCC progression remains to be explored. Here, we aimed to elucidate the role of STC-1 in OSCC. We revealed that STC-1 was highly expressed in OSCC tissues and is correlated with poor patient prognosis. Knockdown of STC-1 significantly suppressed the growth of OSCC cells and restrained glycolysis by reducing glucose consumption, ATP production, and lactate levels. Mechanistically, STC-1 ablation inhibited the PI3K/Akt pathway, reducing the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt. In conclusion, STC-1 depletion restrained OSCC cell growth and glycolysis via PI3K/Akt pathway and has the potential to serve as a therapeutic target for OSCC.
The Theory of Projection
Authors: Posch Lennart
Published: July 2024

Whitehead’s process philosophy offers a wide range of speculatively generalized concepts that allow for an application in transdisciplinary research. The notion of projection is an often-overlooked detail of his philosophy that not only appears in his far-reaching theory of perception, but also constitutes an integral part of his theory of extension as the formal foundation of his metaphysical project. His perceptive theory relies on the idea of projection as the fundamental ontological relationship that lifts the past into the present. Projections of sensa describe one side of the ‘double-barreled’ theory of perception and the spatial relations of the contemporary world. The microscopic projection is just as fundamental for perception and for the integrity of a relational theory of becoming, as the perceptual projection is necessary ingredient for symbolic modes of experience. The simple projection in the mode of presentational immediacy is the basis of temporary stability of events and of any perceptual situation in the biological realm. Whitehead was aware of the possible misconceptions that this term might lead to. Discussing his remarks on the hierarchical variety of different modes of projection can resolve those misconceptions and throw a new light on the importance of projection for interdisciplinary inquiries.
Der rote Adler als brandenburgischer Erinnerungsort
Authors: Werlich Ralf-Gunnar
Published: July 2024

Ausgehend von der Notwendigkeit der Schaffung eines Wappens für das 1990 neu begründete Bundesland Brandenburg und die Diskussionen um das 1991 gesetzlich festgelegte heraldische Hoheitszeichen des Landes beleuchtet der Beitrag zunächst anhand einiger Schlaglichter das Verhältnis der Brandenburger zu ihrem roten Adler im neuen Bundesland. Im Anschluss wird die Geschichte des Brandenburger Adlers von seinen Anfängen als Symbol der brandenburgischen Linie der Askanier bis hin zu seiner Verwendung als Symbol der Herrschaft über die Markgrafschaft und das Kurfürstentum Brandenburg unter den Dynastien der Wittelsbacher, der Luxemburger und der Hohenzollern bis zum Ausgang des Mittelalters skizziert, um dann zu fragen, inwieweit er durch seine öffentliche Präsenz in jener Zeit und in den folgenden Jahrhunderten geeignet war, zu Herausbildung einer brandenburgischen Identität beizutragen. Thematisiert werden auch die neuzeitliche Ausstattung mit kurfürstlichen Attributen sowie die Rolle konkurrierender Wappen, wie das des Reichserbmarschallamtes und das Wappen des preußischen Königs.

Radiotherapy directed to inferior vena cava tumor thrombus among patients with renal cell carcinoma: an illustrative case and review of the literature
Authors: Zagardo Valentina , Cuccia Francesco , Piras Antonio , Parisi Silvana , Sciacca Miriam , Ferrantelli Giacomo , Latteri Fiorenza , Ferini Gianluca
Published: July 2024

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) often presents with tumor thrombus (TT) in the inferior vena cava (IVC), posing significant therapeutic challenges, particularly in cases of metastatic or inoperable disease. While surgical excision remains the standard treatment approach, recent advancements in radiotherapy techniques may offer alternative strategies. We present the clinical picture of a 74-year-old male with metastatic RCC, who presented with recurrent IVC-TT, detected by surveillance computed tomography imaging, and complained of mild lower leg edema. This was successfully managed with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), resulting in a slow but continuous shrinkage of the IVC-TT with almost complete regression of most lung, liver, and lymph node metastases, obtaining a full resolution of the mild bilateral leg edema. The case described here highlights the possibility of using radiotherapy as a safe and tolerable treatment for inoperable or metastatic patients with IVC-TT. Additionally, we conducted a literature review looking for evidence of the effectiveness of radiotherapy in RCC patients with IVC-TT across different treatment settings. This case-based review ultimately aims to shed light on the emerging evidence supporting the usefulness of radiotherapy in such complex clinical challenges, hopefully paving the way for well-organized trials.
Influencing Factors and Training Strategies for Boulder and Lead Athletes' Competitive Performance: A Narrative Review
Authors: Liu Sheng , Li Yuan
Published: July 2024

With the introduction of sport climbing in the Olympics, there have been increased opportunities for refining and enhancing the sport. Improving competitive performance is a crucial objective of national development strategies. This narrative review aims to analyze the influencing factors and training strategies for the competitive performance of boulder and lead athletes, providing a reference for improving their competitive performance. Conditioning for boulder and lead involves physical, psychological, and technical training. The competitive performance of boulder and lead athletes is primarily influenced by upper-limb strength, endurance, aerobic capacity, climbing efficiency, route previewing, and psychological elements like confidence, anxiety, and focus. To improve physical fitness and competitive performance, athletes should prioritize enhancing upper-limb strength and endurance. Athletes can enhance their climbing skills and progress by engaging in various international standard climbing routes with varying levels and styles of difficulty, thereby expanding their repertoire of techniques. In addition, there should be an increased emphasis on providing psychological counseling to athletes before competition. In future research, the differences between varying training methods for athletes of different levels and genders should be further explored, along with investigating training and recovery strategies.
Tiempo para los laicos ¿y las laicas?: mujeres católicas en la arquidiócesis de México posconciliar (1965–1975)
Authors: Salazar Chavarría Susana
Published: July 2024

Este artículo analiza la participación de las mujeres en la arquidiócesis de México, en el contexto de renovación, propiciado por el Concilio Vaticano II (1962–65) y las disposiciones de Miguel Darío Miranda (1956–77), que permitieron un mayor involucramiento de los laicos en la Iglesia a partir del reconocimiento de una misión e identidad propia (ya no dependiente del clero). Señala la particularidad de la experiencia de las mujeres católicas en dos ámbitos que habían sido exclusivos de los sacerdotes: la toma de decisiones y planeación en los concejos pastorales; y la administración de la Eucaristía como ministras extraordinarias de la Comunión. De esta manera, problematiza las diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en espacios mixtos, las posibilidades de liderazgo e involucramiento para las mujeres, la cantidad de laicas que participaron y el modo en que lo hicieron. Asimismo discute los cambios ocurridos respecto del periodo preconciliar, las posturas clericales y las limitaciones impuestas debido al género. El artículo pretende aportar a la historia de la arquidiócesis de México y a la de las mujeres católicas en el periodo posconciliar, la cual ha sido poco estudiada.

Amenorrhea as a presentation of Cushing’s syndrome
Authors: Alhajeri Aishah , Hajji Sulaiman , Aljenaee Khalid
Published: July 2024

Menstrual cycle abnormalities are common in premenopausal females with Cushing’s syndrome, although the underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Signs and symptoms found in Cushing’s syndrome overlap with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The patient is a 33-year-old female previously diagnosed by a gynecologist with PCOS and treated with oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) for 2 years. She then discontinued her OCPs without consulting a clinician, resulting in amenorrhea for 6 months, for which she presented. She also had symptoms of depression and anxiety but had no other signs and symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome, except a plethoric face. Initial lab work showed evidence of central hypogonadism (low luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and estrogen), so a complete anterior pituitary hormone workup was done. Her thyroid-stimulating hormone was also low with a low free T4 level. Prolactin level was normal, but surprisingly, her AM cortisol level was high. The Cushing’s syndrome workup revealed non-suppressed cortisol after a 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test and positive 24-h urine cortisol with suppressed adrenocorticotrophic hormone. A CT scan of her adrenal glands revealed a left adrenal adenoma. She underwent a left adrenalectomy, after which her menstrual cycles became regular again, and pituitary function has recovered.

Learning points

In Cushing's syndrome, female patients can have menstrual abnormalities due to the high cortisol levels, which can affect gonadotrophin levels.

We encourage clinicians to include Cushing's syndrome in the differential diagnosis of patients with central hypogonadism.
Life-threatening airway obstruction by Riedel’s thyroiditis: a rare presentation and diagnostic dilemma
Authors: Guia Lopes Maria Leonor , Cidade José Pedro , Cunha Clara , Limbert Clotilde , Sequeira Duarte João
Published: July 2024

Riedel’s thyroiditis is the rarest form of thyroiditis, occasionally resulting in rapid thyroid enlargement and potential tracheal obstruction. Here, we detail the case of an 81-year-old woman with a medical history including Hodgkin lymphoma, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and multinodular goiter. She presented to the emergency room with stridor, cervical swelling, and breathing difficulties for over 2 days. CT scans revealed substantial thyroid enlargement causing significant glottal and tracheal compression, to a minimum tracheal diameter of 7 mm. Due to the severity of the compressive symptoms, orotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation were deemed necessary. Surprisingly, despite the initial suspicion of malignancy given the rapid growth in the elderly, subsequent cytological and histological evaluations indicated a benign form of invasive fibrous thyroiditis – Riedel’s thyroiditis. Although surgical intervention was advised, the patient declined and opted for endobronchial treatment with a prosthetic stent and subsequent treatment with systemic glucocorticoids. Following successful treatment, she was discharged within a week and resumed normal activities without respiratory distress. This case is noteworthy for its rapid benign mass growth, rare emergent presentation, and the patient’s advanced age.

Learning points

The rapid enlargement of the thyroid gland in elderly patients poses a diagnostic challenge, stemming from the higher occurrence of aggressive thyroid carcinomas.

Despite the clinical presentation, a comprehensive diagnostic workup, including fine-needle aspiration and core-needle biopsy, is crucial for accurately distinguishing between benign and malignant causes of thyroid nodule enlargement.

This case report illustrates diverse treatment options for Riedel’s thyroiditis, and the importance of individualized treatment plans based on the degree of airway obstruction, patient preferences, and response to initial interventions.

Clinicians should contemplate the inclusion of glucocorticoids in the therapeutic regimen for Riedel’s thyroiditis, particularly in cases where surgical intervention is not feasible or declined by the patient.
A post-irradiation-induced replication stress promotes RET proto-oncogene breakage

Published: July 2024

Objective

Ionizing radiation generates genomic instability by promoting the accumulation of chromosomal rearrangements. The oncogenic translocation RET/PTC1 is present in more than 70% of radiation-induced thyroid cancers. Both RET and CCDC6, the genes implicated in RET/PTC1, are found within common fragile sites – chromosomal regions prone to DNA breakage during slight replication stress. Given that irradiated cells become more susceptible to genomic destabilization due to the accumulation of replication-stress-related double-strand breaks (DSBs), we explored whether RET and CCDC6 exhibit DNA breakage under replicative stress several days post-irradiation of thyroid cells.

Methods

We analyzed the dynamic of DNA replication in human thyroid epithelial cells (HThy-ori-3.1) 4 days post a 5-Gy exposure using molecular DNA combing. The DNA replication schedule was evaluated through replication-timing experiments. We implemented a ChIP-qPCR assay to determine whether the RET and CCDC6 genes break following irradiation.

Results

Our study indicates that replicative stress, occurring several days post-irradiation in thyroid cells, primarily causes DSBs in the RET gene. We discovered that both the RET and CCDC6 genes undergo late replication in thyroid cells. However, only RET’s replication rate is notably delayed after irradiation.

Conclusion

The findings suggest that post-irradiation in the RET gene causes a breakage in the replication fork, which could potentially invade another genomic area, including CCDC6. As a result, this could greatly contribute to the high prevalence of chromosomal RET/PTC rearrangements seen in patients exposed to external radiation.
GHSR signalling in perinatal phases is involved in liver metabolism at puberty

Published: July 2024

Ghrelin has effects that range from the maturation of the central nervous system to the regulation of energy balance. The production of ghrelin increases significantly during the first weeks of life. Studies have addressed the metabolic effects of liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2) in inhibiting the effects evoked by ghrelin, mainly in glucose homeostasis, insulin resistance, and lipid metabolism. Despite the known roles of ghrelin in the postnatal development, little is known about the long-term metabolic influences of modulation with the endogenous expressed growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) inverse agonist LEAP2. This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of GHSR signalling during perinatal phases, to neurodevelopment and energy metabolism in young animals, under inverse antagonism by LEAP2[1–14]. For this, two experimental models were used: (i) LEAP2[1–14] injections in female rats during the pregnancy. (ii) Postnatal modulation of GHSR with LEAP2[1–14] or MK677. Perinatal GHSR modulation by LEAP2[1–14] impacts glucose homeostasis in a sex and phase-dependent manner, despite no effects on body weight gain or food intake. Interestingly, liver PEPCK expression was remarkably impacted by LEAP2 injections. The observed results suggests that perinatal LEAP2 exposure can modulate liver metabolism and systemic glucose homeostasis. In addition, these results, although not expressive, may just be the beginning of the metabolic imbalance that will occur in adulthood.

Reflexiones y aportaciones al debate sobre el origen de la disciplina de las Relaciones Internacionales
Authors: Velázquez Flores Rafael
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this paper is to contribute some ideas to the debate on the origin of the International Relations discipline. The argumentative line of the essay is that, due to the enormous impact of the First World War, the discipline of International Relations emerged formally, independently, and with its own identity, starting in 1919. In this sense, the essay states that the revisionists have not taken into account, with the necessary depth, the effect that this conflict had on establishing that date as the official appearance of this discipline. The text is divided into four parts. The first seeks to clarify the difference between the terms international relations and International Relations. The second part discusses the first studies linked to global affairs before 1919. The third part discusses the formal emergence of the discipline. The last section of the text explains the development and consolidation of the discipline after the Second World War.

Authors: Ma Xinyu , Chen Yushu , Liang Qianwei , Wang Jinjing
Published: July 2024

With the change in consumption environment and habits, the active feedback from users on online shopping platforms serves as a valuable source of information for analyzing user demand. Color design is an important factor in shaping product style and influencing user’s purchase decisions. This study combines the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and an interactive genetic algorithm (IGA) to investigate the usability of the interactive genetic color selection method for wardrobe color design. Firstly, the LDA model was employed to cluster online review data to identify customer requirements (CRs), then summarize the perceptual evaluation factors (EFs) of color selection. Subsequently, the color selection information from market examples was used as reference to establish the initial population, and the interactive genetic color design process was completed with CorelDraw. Then, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was employed to evaluate the color scheme generated from IGA. The empirical analysis demonstrated that the interactive genetic color selection method can effectively enhance both efficiency and satisfaction in wardrobe design. This study has substantial implications for both theory and practice in the field of wardrobe design and offers designers novel design concepts and methodologies.

Published: July 2024

Background and aims. The individualization of cosmetic products or personalized dermatology preparations are in great demand at the present time.
Methods. 24 emulsifying cream bases were proposed which were prepared by the classical, automatic and semi-automatic methods, respectively, and the physical stability resulted from the three types of homogenization was taken into account. Texture parameters were also studied for the most stable cream bases in the preformulation stage and the t - statistical test was applied. In order to choose the most optimal preservative, the effectiveness of the NipaEster solution 0.1%, Cosgard and Euxyl® PE 9010 was tested on the strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans.
Results. 9 cream bases were stable through all the preparation methods used, and preservation was achieved with Euxyl® PE 9010. Following the texture parameters, significant differences were observed for the same formula in the case of choosing a different preparation method.
Conclusions. Formulas F1, with methyl glucose sesquistearate as emulsifier, F8, with cetearyl glucosite as emulsifier, and F14, with Ceteareth-20 can be used as cream bases for customized products.

Published: July 2024

An alternative way to obtain molecules of high-value from plant origin for the agricultural and pharmaceutical industries is via the production of secondary metabolites from in vitro systems. Among these molecules are phenolic compounds that are important in plant defense system against biotic and abiotic factors. The objective of this work was to establish the culture conditions for the production and scaling up of phenolic compounds from sugarcane shoots produced in Temporary Immersion Bioreactors (TIBs). Two different sucrose concentrations and three inoculum densities of shoots per flask were tested for two sugarcane cultivars C86-56 and C1015-73. These cultivars were micropropagated in TIBs without ascorbic acid for phenolic compound production during 25 days, and were measured every five days. The best established conditions were evaluated on a pilot scale with ten TIBs for three sugarcane cultivars (C86-56, C1051-73 and C87-51). Although phenolic compounds were produced under all conditions evaluated at the experimental level, the most important production was achieved by using 15 shoots per vessel with 20 g.L-1 of sucrose in the absence of ascorbic acid after 25 days of culture. Cultivar C1051-73 had a higher multiplication coefficient independently of the treatments; this effect was not only significant for the phenolic compound production, but also for biomass increases. With respect to the pilot experiment, significant differences were detected for phenolic compound production among the three cultivars with C1051-73 showing the highest yield (23.05 mg.L-1). The results revealed that TIBs are a useful method to produce phenolic compounds with optimum yields.
The practical philosophy of Immanuel Kant and the modern ethics of responsibility
Authors: YERMOLENKO Anatoliy
Published: July 2024

The article deals with the practical philosophy of Immanuel Kant, its transformation in the modern ethics of responsibility and the significance of «risks and threats» for modern society. It is emphasized that in Ukraine, in particular, in the H.S. Skovoroda Institute of Philosophy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, a powerful historical-philosophical tradition of research in German classical philosophy has developed, the foundation of which is the philosophy of I. Kant. This trend gained a new development after the restoration of Ukraine's independence. Special attention was paid in the investigation to the study of Kant's moral philosophy, its important component – the categorical imperative. It is shown that Kant's practical philosophy became an important driver of the leading trends of modern philosophy in the world, which was manifested in the process of «rehabilitation of practical philosophy», which includes the philosophy of responsibility of H. Jonas, communicative philosophy and ethics of discourse. These trends prompted the search for new formulations of the categorical imperative. The relevance of Kant's practical philosophy is evident especially today, under the conditions of modern technological civilization, the destruction of the normative order in the world, and the crisis of moral guidelines. Kant's concept of the primacy of the practical (moral and ethical) mind over the theoretical, technical and instrumental mind opens up ways to solve the global problems of our time, especially in the conditions of crisis and war. Kant's anniversary coincides with a special period of Ukrainian history: the modernization of Ukrainian society, the restoration of national identity, and orientation towards universal values. This event acquires special significance in view of the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Distorting the enlightment, moral-ethical and universalistic direction of Kant's philosophy, Russian propaganda tries to use it for ideological and propaganda purposes. That is why events dedicated to Kant's anniversary are an important component in the fight against the Russian aggressor.
Input data generation for marching calculation of supersonic flow past various rocket layouts
Authors: Halynskyi V.P. ,   Institute of Technical Mechanics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine and the State Space Agency of Ukraine
Published: July 2024

This paper gives a general overview of components and layouts used in supersonic rockets of different purposes. The rocket layout is specified as a structure and a set of components (a wing, a rudder, a stabilizer, a destabilizer, and a superstructure) arranged along the rocket structure. The goal of this work is to develop a unified approach to specifying the shape parameters of rocket layouts regardless of the rocket type. For complex-shape rocket layouts, the paper proposes an approach in which the shapes of the rocket structure and the additional components installed thereon are specified independently. The additional components of the rocket layout are bound to the rocket structure using operation parameters. The use of the operation parameters binds each additional component of the rocket layout to the rocket structure, thus offering a unified method for specifying the geometrical parameters of variously shaped rocket layouts. This approach is developed towards more complex shapes of rocket layout elements arbitrarily placed on rocket structures. The outside shape of each rocket component is specified in a Cartesian system of coordinates rigidly bound thereto. A unified approach to specifying the outside shape of various rocket components is presented. According to the general scheme of specifying the geometrical parameters of rocket layout components, they are specified by three methods: analytically, by plan shape, and by plan shape with board and end chord profiles. To describe the outside shape of a component, the specification method and the number and the values of its key parameters are specified. To specify rocket layout input data, one has to fix the number of additional components to be installed on the rocket structure. For each layout component, the parameters that define its shape, location on the rocket structure, and deflection angle are specified. To each layout component there corresponds an input data set of its own. The set consists of parameters that define the shape of the component and parameters of its operation as a part of the layout. A standard input data file for specifying rocket layout shapes is configured.
Movimentos osmóticos

Published: July 2024

O espectro de violência contra a mulher é alicerçado no pressuposto discursivo de que há assimetria entre gêneros e apresenta-se como grave problema de saúde pública e violação de direitos humanos. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é compreender a violência contra a mulher a partir das expressões das trabalhadoras e trabalhadores de saúde, metaforicamente como em movimento osmótico. Trata-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, que empregou o uso da análise de sentidos para alcançar as compreensões das falas dos participantes. Assim, essas compreensões foram dispostas em histórias, construídas a partir de comentários dos participantes, obtidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados apontam que o espectro de violência se manifesta de forma dinâmica e atinge diversos atores sociais, e, portanto, não é um problema que deve ser enfrentado considerando apenas o agressor e a mulher violentada. Desvelam também que as intervenções em saúde das trabalhadoras e trabalhadores atuantes no cenário da Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) acerca da violência contra a mulher, metaforicamente se consolidam como em movimento osmótico. Dessa forma, o enfrentamento a violência contra a mulher deve ser estruturado com as possibilidades de encaminhamentos pertinentes à proteção da integridade da mulher violentada; locais disponíveis para abrigamento; estratégias para subsistência; acionamento da rede de sociabilidade.
Planar Turán Number of the Θ6
Authors: Xiao Chuanqi , Ghosh Debarun , Győri Ervin , Paulos Addisu , Zamora Oscar
Published: July 2024

Let F be a nonempty family of graphs. A graph 𝐺 is called F -free if it contains no graph from F as a subgraph. For a positive integer 𝑛, the planar Turán number of F, denoted by exp (𝑛, F), is the maximum number of edges in an 𝑛-vertex F -free planar graph.

Let Θ𝑘 be the family of Theta graphs on 𝑘 ≥ 4 vertices, that is, graphs obtained by joining a pair of non-consecutive of a 𝑘-cycle with an edge. Lan, Shi and Song determined an upper bound exp (𝑛, Θ6) ≤ 18𝑛/7−36𝑛/7, but for large 𝑛, they did not verify that the bound is sharp. In this paper, we improve their bound by proving exp (𝑛, Θ6) ≤ 18𝑛/−48𝑛/7 and then we demonstrate the existence of infinitely many positive integer 𝑛 and an 𝑛-vertex Θ6-free planar graph attaining the bound.
Lattice Cohomology of Partially Ordered Sets
Authors: Ágoston Tamás , Némethi András
Published: July 2024

In this paper we introduce a construction for a weighted CW complex (and the associated lattice cohomology) corresponding to partially ordered sets with some additional structure. This is a generalization of the construction seen in [4] where we started from a system of subspaces of a given vector space. We then proceed to prove some basic properties of this construction that are in many ways analogous to those seen in the case of subspaces, but some aspects of the construction result in complexities not present in that scenario.
Aesthetic Transcendence: Fashion's Evolution, Philosophical Reflections, and Societal Impact
Authors: Sharma Ankita
Published: July 2024

This research paper explores the evolution of fashion from its utilitarian origins over 170,000 years ago to its contemporary role as a symbol of cultural expression and individual identity. Tracing the historical trajectory through ancient civilizations, the Renaissance era, and significant societal shifts post-World War II, the study highlights the dynamic interplay between culture, external forces, and fashion. It also delves into the commodification of beauty in the contemporary era, examining the persuasive techniques used by beauty brands in advertisements, such as leveraging emotional states to connect deeply with consumers. The global impact of beauty standards and the perpetuation of white-centric ideals are scrutinized, emphasizing influential figures like Marcus Garvey, who challenged these norms. The study sheds light on the beauty industry's promotion of skin-lightening and hair-straightening products, particularly in Asian markets, and offers philosophical reflections on these beauty standards. Engaging with the works of Hume, Kant, Santayana, and Schiller, the paper dissects the subjective and objective dimensions of beauty, including Hume's emphasis on pleasure and pain, Kant's categorization of beauty, Santayana's concept of objectified pleasure, and Schiller's influence on German Idealism. It culminates with an exploration of Jean Baudrillard's "Death of the Real," examining the implications of a society immersed in creating identities detached from objective reality. This paper weaves together the historical evolution of fashion, beauty brand strategies, and philosophical reflections on beauty, offering a nuanced understanding of the complex relationship between aesthetics, identity, and societal perceptions.
Desarrollo sostenible y aplicación de los ODS sociales en las empresas valencianas: un enfoque según su tamaño y tipo
Authors: Cuñat-Giménez Rubén-J. , Pizarro-Barceló Rafaela
Published: July 2024

Este trabajo estudia la relación existente entre la forma jurídica de una empresa y el tamaño con el grado de consecución de los ODS sociales. Para ello, se ha trabajado con una muestra aleatoria de 351 empresas situadas en la Comunidad Valenciana (España). Los resultados indican que la forma jurídica no es determinante del grado de implantación de los ODS sociales; sin embargo, sí lo es el tamaño, pues son las pymes las que mayores dificultades tienen para la incorporación de estos ODS. Los hallazgos permiten orientar a la Administración Pública en la implementación de políticas y ayudas focalizadas en este tipo de empresas, para que estas puedan cumplir con los retos que marca la Agenda 2030.

O retrato da comunidade joanina: hipóteses e elementos para uma arqueologia comunitária no quarto evangelho
Authors: Guerra Danilo Dourado
Published: July 2024

Esse artigo pretende trazer um apanhado epistemológico que se estruture como subsídio para a construção hipotética do que se compreende por comunidade joanina. Objetiva-se o mapear um trajeto dialógico de elementos e hipóteses que formate um núcleo argumentativo de plausibilidade em torno da existência protagonista da comunidade joanina no background textual do QE. Nesse trajeto, a dinâmica que revela gradativamente em mosaico o rosto da comunidade joanina pode ser delineado desde o Sitz Im Leben do QE; nos meandros do texto joanino como representação comunitária da memória de Jesus; nas hipóteses das prováveis fases da escrita do Evangelho joanino; na interface imagética com o ícone do discípulo amado; nas propositivas das possíveis fases vivenciadas dentro do trajeto histórico dos grupos joaninos.
Eucaristia, Igreja e Missão: ação da Igreja a luz da Evangelii Gaudium
Authors: Nobre José Aguiar , Martínez Sergio Esteban González
Published: July 2024

A dimensão social do Evangelho e as suas implicações com os pobres, excluídos e frágeis será sempre uma questão a ser assimilada e discutida para a sua efetivação no mundo. Ressaltar esta questão à luz da Exortação Apostólica Evangelii Gaudium, é a proposta deste artigo. Quando alimentados pela Eucaristia, sabemos que a missão da Igreja que, como mãae, acolhe a todos os seus filhos e filhas, circunscreve à mesma missão de Jesus Cristo. Em face disso, indaga-se: como a Eucaristia, a Igreja e a Missão podem responder aos desafios da ação evangelizadora no presente? Assim, como o pai de família que sai por várias vezes a buscar trabalhadores para a vinha (Mt 20,3), a Igreja está desafiada a sair para dialogar com o Estado, com a sociedade – com a cultura, com a ciência, e com os crentes não católicos, a fim de, construir uma sociedade cada vez mais pacífica, alimentada e fraterna. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, em cujos resultados esperados, circunscrevem-se à compreensão de que a ação da Igreja se efetiva genuinamente aonde todos os seres humanos, indistintamente criados à imagem e semenhança de Deus, possam desenvolver-se com dignidade.

Authors: França Cíntia Azevedo Pereira de Almeida , Brazil Danielly Maria Marques , Elias Liana Rosa
Published: July 2024

Em meio à pandemia de COVID-19, na cidade de Fortaleza – CE, percebeu-se a busca religiosa para a tratativa de transtornos ansiosos. A partir de então, surgiu a ideia deste artigo, cujo objetivo foi analisar as implicações do discurso religioso de duas igrejas do estado a respostas ansiosas, de acordo com a Análise do Comportamento. Para tal, realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica, seguida da seleção, transcrição e análise de conteúdo dos vídeos sobre o tema, na perspectiva religiosa da Igreja Reformada e da Igreja Comunidade Protestante, escolhidas aleatoriamente. Assim, evidenciou-se que a Igreja Reformada demonstrou ter menos implicações negativas ao adoecimento do que a Igreja Comunidade Protestante, embora não tenha existido qualquer encaminhamento para profissionais de Saúde Mental por ambas as instituições.
“É uma casa portuguesa, com certeza!” A Assembleia de Deus na Covilhã
Authors: Baptista Saulo
Published: July 2024

Este texto é parte de uma pesquisa de pós-doutoramento na Universidade da Beira Interior, em Portugal. O foco é a Assembleia de Deus da Covilhã, situada na região das Beiras, onde se concentra o maior polo de lanifícios da península ibérica. A cidade abriga, também, a referida universidade, que recebe, anualmente, centenas de estudantes estrangeiros. O artigo trata das origens da comunidade pentecostal, com base em depoimentos dos membros mais antigos. É possível perceber singularidades sobre a implantação e desenvolvimento do movimento pentecostal na Covilhã, na leitura dessa abordagem histórica e sociológica, em comparação com o que aconteceu no restante do país. O pentecostalismo português ainda se comporta como seita, no sentido weberiano do termo.

Authors: Martins Ailto
Published: July 2024

Este artigo analisa a história e teologia da escatologia oficial do pentecostalismo clássico. Sua estrutura está dividida em dois tópicos principais: a síntese histórica e teológica dessa escatologia oficial e os encontros e desencontros da percepção escatológica com as raízes teológicas metodistas do pré-pentecostalismo em relação à escatologia oficial do pentecostalismo clássico. Enfocam-se também os três grandes movimentos que contribuíram para a formação do movimento pentecostal moderno: o de santidade, o segundo grande despertamento e o fundamentalismo teológico. Por meio de revisão bibliográfica, a pesquisa acessa os comentários de especialistas que já debateram amplamente a temática. Os resultados esperados perpassam da importância do conhecimento da história e teologia das raízes da escatologia ao desenvolvimento da percepção escatológica do pentecostalismo clássico.
