Demanda para a aquicultura: desafios legais e institucionais ante os múltiplos usos na gestão dos recursos hídricos no baixo curso do Rio Paraíba.
Authors:   , Freire Pedro Crisóstomo Alves
Published: April 2021

A temática dos recursos hídricos tem ganhado cada vez mais visibilidade em múltiplas áreas do conhecimento sendo tarefa desafiadora para os órgãos gestores. Tal fato atinge os territórios de distintas formas e, muitas vezes, se mostra explícito na incapacidade das Políticas Públicas de Recursos Hídricos em conseguir dirimir situações de conflitos pelo uso da água. O presente trabalho visa a subsidiar a gestão dos recursos hídricos no Baixo curso do rio Paraíba, pautado em critérios específicos para a regularização do uso desses recursos na aquicultura em todo o estado. Foram utilizados bancos de dados de outorga, referente ao ano de 2019, na área de estudo: jusante da barragem de Acauã, município de Itatuba a montante da barragem Campo Grande, município de Itabaiana. Assim sendo, em conferimento com a disponibilidade hídrica e o volume regularizado para atendimento às demandas, foi constatada divergência entre oferta e demanda, consequentemente diferentes conflitos em razão do atendimento prioritário versus outros usos consuntivos. Em face do dirimento das consequências geradas pela desarmonia na distribuição da água na respectiva região, concluiu-se que é necessária a implementação de normativa que venha a minimizar os impactos advindos de tal desequilíbrio. Acredita-se que esse esforço encontra justificativa no próprio cenário que foi desenhado no trabalho, sobretudo, na relevância para o arcabouço jurídico de um estado que possui um complexo histórico hídrico pautado sobremaneira por discursos de escassez e episódios de seca.
Four master teachers who fostered American turn-of-the-(20TH)-century mycology and plant pathology
Authors: Petersen Ronald H.
Published: April 2021

The Morrill Act of 1862 afforded the US states the opportunity to found state colleges with agriculture as part of their mission—the so-called "land-grant colleges." The Hatch Act of 1887 gave the same opportunity for agricultural experiment stations as functions of the land-grant
colleges, and the "third Morrill Act" (the Smith-Lever Act) of 1914 added an extension dimension to the experiment stations. Overall, the end of the 19th century and the first quarter of the 20th was a time for growing appreciation for, and growth of institutional education
in the natural sciences, especially botany and its specialties, mycology, and phytopathology. This paper outlines a particular genealogy of mycologists and plant pathologists representative of this era. Professor Albert Nelson Prentiss, first of Michigan State then of Cornell, Professor William
Russel Dudley of Cornell and Stanford, Professor Mason Blanchard Thomas of Wabash College, and Professor Herbert Hice Whetzel of Cornell Plant Pathology were major players in the scenario. The supporting cast, the students selected, trained, and guided by these men, was legion, a few of whom
are briefly traced here.

A CASE STUDY-INFERTILITY & AYURVEDA
Authors: Dandekar Pranali
Published: April 2021

Ayurveda emphasized on four main essential factors for fertility i.e. Ritu(menstruation),Kshetra(functioning reproductive organs),Ambu(Digestive juices) and Bija(Healthy sperm and ovum) .Abnormality in any one of this factors causes infertility.Infertility is a failure to conceive within one or more years of regular unprotected coitus.Primary infertility denotes who has never conceived and secondary indicates previous pregnancy but failure to conceive subsequently. Secondary Infertilily with recurrent pregnancy loss because of Viral infections like TORCH is a worrisome issue for the reproductive couple.Majority of early missed abortions and spontaneous abortion are seen in current population of country.Toxoplasmosis,cytomegaly virus,rubella and herpes simplex viruses are responsible for manifestation of the maternal infections causing early pregnancy loss.According to Ayurveda recurrent pregnancy loss is specified under Putraghni yonivyapad and specific treatment like Uttarbasti is described for the same. As yoniyapada leads to infertility because of vikrit Vata ,ultimately the treatment of Vata i.e. bastichikitsa is seen very beneficial in the treatment of Infertility.

WR galaxies and PAH: observations and modeling
Authors: Yeghikyan A. , Martirosyan J.
Published: April 2021

This report analyzes the archival data of the Spitzer observatory for 9 WR galaxies showing PAH emission lines at 6.2 and 7.7 µ. For these galaxies, the effective radii of the emitting regions and the total number of hydrogen ionizing quanta were calculated on the base of the fluxes corrected for interstellar extinction. Using the observed values (which are obtained using SDSS data), and taking as an example stars of the WNh type (Ts = 50000 K, R = 20 R☉), the number of massive WR stars in the cluster and the distance to the nearest neighbor are determined. With these data, the theoretical Cloudy models, in particular, the distribution of H, and He, C, O, Ne atoms and ions along the radius are calculated. The theoretical intensities of the characteristic PAH bands at 6.2 and 7.7 µ were obtained for two types of PAH (containing 15 and 120 carbon atoms, respectively). The corpuscular radiation doses accumulated in PAH molecules due to hard irradiation by MeV protons were calculated and it was shown that such molecules had to decay for a time less than the lifetime of the cluster. A conclusion is drawn about the permanent source of PAH, most likely, the remnants of supernova explosions.
Samtalesaloner som propædeutisk retorisk medborgerskab
Authors: Storm Villadsen Lisa
Published: April 2021

The article discusses the grassroots initiative Civic Desire [in Danish: Borgerlyst] and the format “Conversation Salons” [in Danish: samtalesaloner] with a focus on the role of conversation, the semi public nature of the salons, and their potential as a mode of rhetorical citizenship. It is argued that conversation salons in themselves do not constitute a vernacular public sphere as a forum for action at a civic level, but that they nonetheless can be considered a proto public for vernacular ­rhetoric and as such represent a mode of propaedeutic rhetorical citizenship
Den fantastiske ­retorik. Jesuitten Nogheras forsvar for retorikken med et perspektiv til Vico
Authors: Roer Hanne
Published: April 2021

This article presents the almost forgotten work on Christian and secular eloquence by the Italian Jesuit and professor of eloquence, Giovambattista Noghera (1719-1784): Della moderna eloquenza sacra e del moderno stile profano, e sacro, ragionamenti di Giovambattista Noghera della Compagnia di Gesù (Venezia: Stamperia Remondini 1753). Noghera was a prolific writer, and his collected works were published posthumously in 18 volumes. His work on Christian rhetoric and eloquence, adressed to his students in Milan and Vienna, is a vigorous and and creative attempt at updating the tradition of Christian rhetoric. Apart from expanding the canon used for imitation with secular literature, science and philosophy, Noghera defends rhetoric by appealing to the role of fantasy in human cognition and communication. Though never mentioning Giambattista Vico (1668-1744), he argues in favour of rhetoric in similar ways, stressing the importance of rhetoric in education and in the formation of citizenship. While Noghera still adheres to classical rhetoric, Vico develops this tradition into an original theory of culture in The New Science

Published: April 2021

O presente artigo pretende elucidar a problemática da técnica no pensamento do filósofo alemão Hans Jonas, tendo como itinerário o “princípio responsabilidade” e seus desdobramentos para se pensar uma ética que engloba uma nova era frente aos avanços tecnológicos, levando em consideração o agir humano que vem se modificando em consequência desses aparatos tecnológicos disponíveis. Para tanto exploraremos alguns pressupostos básicos do pensamento do autor que são necessários para o desenvolvimento desse trabalho, tais como: os Novos e Velhos Imperativos, o Ser e o Dever, a Heurística do Temor, a Responsabilidade Natural e a Política, elementos importantes para uma breve elucidação em relação à filosofia de Hans Jonas que desenvolveu de maneira sistemática e coerente uma teoria ética pautada em um princípio o qual denominou de “responsabilidade”.
A ÉTICA NA ERA DA BIOTECNOLOGIA: uma reflexão filosófica a partir dos conceitos “Responsabilidade” e “Vida” na filosofia de Hans Jonas
Authors: Dos Santos Rayane Ferreira
Published: April 2021

Hans Jonas nasceu em Mochengladbach, na Alemanha em 10 de março de 1903, estudou sobre gnosticismo e fenomenologia fazendo suas próprias interpretações e críticas sobre a vida. Seu pensamento crítico foi resultado de suas aulas com Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger e Rudolf Bultmann. Jonas viveu em uma época dominada por guerras, nazismo, pelo triunfo da sociedade tecnológica, e por crises ambientais, tudo isso levou o filósofo a refletir sobre a vida e a natureza e como as guerras e a tecnologia ficavam em relação à vida. Ele percebeu que a visão sobre a natureza estava abalada, e não era vista como algo a ser resolvida no imediato. Vendo que as teorias de sua época não estavam sendo capazes de resolver os problemas imediatamente e colocavam em cheque o futuro, ele começou suas pesquisas, estudos e suas reflexões. A partir de sua inquietações, Hans Jonas publica “O Princípio Responsabilidade: ensaio para uma ética da civilização tecnológica”, buscando fazer uma relação entre homem, natureza e tecnologia. Em suas reflexões, Jonas busca, de forma clara, demonstrar os benefícios e os malefícios oriundos da nova realidade da tecnologia, demonstrando também as responsabilidades de todos perante essa nova realidade, que mexe com o presente e o futuro da humanidade.

Authors: Kalogiannidis Stavros
Published: April 2021

The increased prevalence of COVID-19 has had severe implications on the well-being of most organization and professionals most especially in the field of human resource management and marketing. This study focused on establishing the impact of COVID-19 on different human resource practices and future marketing. It was established that the dynamics of work have greatly changed from the traditional way of working from the organization’s premises to working remotely at home. Consequently, marketing has also shifted to different online platforms since physical contact with customers is currently prohibited to maintain social distancing one way of preventing coronavirus. These changes have been associated with different negative implications and some positives as some professionals find it more flexible and convenient to work remotely. To cope with the current changing times, an organization must adjust and adapt to the new emerging technologies of working remotely and consequently implement strategic policies and procedures towards maintaining a steady flow.

Published: April 2021

In this study, we successfully isolated a strain of Aspergillus oryzae TR08, which produced xylanase secreted to the outside of the cell productively. The enzyme activity and specific activity in the fermentation broth of this strain reached peak values of 451 IU/mL and 1963 IU/mg after 156 h of fermentation. A single factor experiment was designed, and it was found that the strain was adjusted to the initial pH of the fermentation broth to 7.5 in a shaker at 180 rpm and 32 °C. After 156 h of fermentation, the enzyme activity reached a maximum of 1264 IU/mL. The optimal reaction temperature and pH value of the xylanase were 55 °C and 7.5, respectively, and it had excellent acid and alkali resistance and a wide pH activity range. The xylanase was increased the catalytic activity by 15% in 0.25 mM Fe3+, and the biological activity of the enzyme was not affected in the sodium dodecyl sulfate environment.

Published: April 2021

PFAPA syndrome (periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis) is the most common periodic fever syndrome in children. The disease appears to cluster in families, but the pathogenesis is unknown. The paper reports the description of a clinical case of a 12-year-old girl diagnosed with PFAPA syndrome from the age of one and half years. The exacerbations did not decrease with growth as it usually happens, but genital ulcers appeared associated with HLA-B51 positivity, orienting the diagnosis towards Behçet’s spectrum disorders.
Una revisión decolonial del Derecho del trabajo
Authors: Ramírez-Ayérdiz Danny
Published: April 2021

En este trabajo el autor propone la revisión del Derecho del trabajo apoyado en la teoría decolonial, de la que parte para explorar el lugar y la eficacia del Derecho del trabajo en las relaciones actuales de poder y halla que, además de sólo ser, por ahora, un instrumento que sienta las reglas del juego para la explotación de la clase trabajadora, le hace falta extender su eficacia, en aras de contener y regular, perspectivas exploradas pocamente por este ámbito del derecho, a saber: (1) la cuestión de las razas en Latinoamérica que está antes y va más allá de la clásica desigualdad de clases que se pretende corregir o, al menos, mitigar mediante las normas laborales; (2) la cuestión de género, la que el autor plantea no como una cuestión adicional si no principal para comprender las relaciones de explotación y (3) la cuestión de la democratización de la autoridad pública en manos del Estado a través de una relectura racial de la participación política como presupuesto de la democratización misma de las relaciones de trabajo.

Objective: Health uncertainty among healthcare workers has yet to be examined as a contributor to the psychological toll of the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to (1) characterize health uncertainty levels among healthcare workers in a large, U.S. hospital system during the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) examine associations between health uncertainty and psychological outcomes.Methods: From March to June 2020, healthcare workers in a large, urban U.S. healthcare system were invited to complete an online questionnaire. Self-report measures assessed sociodemographic characteristics and job roles, health uncertainty, and emotional wellbeing variables (anxiety, depression, loneliness, self-compassion, and coping confidence). Health uncertainty (categorical and continuous scores) was compared across each variable using correlations and ANOVAs.Results: Healthcare workers (N = 440) were on average 44.5 years of age, 88.9% female, and 84.5% non-Hispanic white. Over half (52%) endorsed experiencing health uncertainty “sometimes” to “all the time”. While unrelated to sociodemographic characteristics (ps > .05), health uncertainty was highest among pharmacists and technicians, with levels significantly higher than other roles including physicians (p < .05) and mental health and spiritual counselors (p < .05). Higher health uncertainty was associated with higher anxiety (p < .001), depression (p < .001), and loneliness (p < .001), higher self-compassion (p = .02), and lower coping confidence (p < .001).Conclusions: Health uncertainty during the COVID-19 pandemic is common among healthcare workers, with higher levels related to poorer emotional wellbeing and less confidence in their coping abilities. Further research is needed to understand the relationships between healthcare workers’ health uncertainties and associated factors (i.e., job roles) and to identify whether health uncertainty may be a modifiable target for future interventions.
Creating and appropriating value in cooperation networks

Published: April 2021

Objective of the study: The objective of this research was to analyze how the processes of creation and appropriation of value are manifested in a horizontal agribusiness networkMethodology / approach: A case study was carried out in the Cerrado Mineiro Region (CMR) in which documentary research and interviews were used as source, whose data were analyzed through content analysis by frequency. Originality / Relevance: There is little evidence in the literature about studies that explore processes of joint value creation and appropriation in horizontal networks. In view of this gap, the study proceeds by individually addressing the processes of creation and appropriation of value considering the nature of cooperation of the networks.Main results: In relation to the results achieved, CMR creates value in cost reduction, differentiation by product, market expansion, expertise in the production of coffee, differentiation, dissemination and strengthening of the brand. Regarding the appropriation of value, CMR appropriates itself for the commercialization of potential quality coffee, the learning process, the premium paid in the cooperative's coffee, the valorization of the producer and for having a unique way for the production of coffee.Theoretical / methodological contributions: Among the main contributions of this study, the individual analysis highlights the processes of creation and appropriation of value applied to horizontal networks. The considerations reinforce the fine line between the processes of creation and appropriation of relational value. That is, in addition to developing internal competencies and essential skills for the creation and appropriation of value, organizations must devise strategies to achieve a balance between these processes.
Micro-business entrepreneurs and bricoleurs on their way towards sustainable practice – implications for learning processes
Authors: Oxenswärdh Anette
Published: April 2021

The purpose of the study was to investigate how some micro-business entrepreneurs and bricoleurs experience their learning processes through workshops, especially with respect to sustainability issues. This qualitative and explorative study focuses on learning processes during the GreenBizz course, which are analysed on the basis of inquiries and observations of discussions among course participants and on documents describing the course design and assignments. It was found that entrepreneurs are aware and are familiar with sustainability issues but they have neither proper tools nor the knowhow for implementing sustainable changes in their businesses. To be successful, the learning process needs to sufficiently heterogeneous, should involve the transmission of tacit knowledge and provide opportunities for participants to learn about their motivations and should include both theoretical and practical elements. Participation in the course enables entrepreneurs to network with other entrepreneurs, give support and share knowledge about sustainable solutions in their businesses. The study shows that such courses not only must allow for a certain degree of flexibility but also require a course or team leader with a solid and practical knowledge in entrepreneurship and sustainability.
TORNAR-SE FILHO: A PERSPECTIVA DA CRIANÇA NO CONTEXTO DA ADOÇÃO TARDIA
Authors: Araujo Ivy Campista Campanha de , Nascimento Célia Regina Rangel , Rossetti Cláudia Broetto
Published: April 2021

Apesar da importância da reciprocidade na construção da vinculação entre pais e filhos, a adoção tardia ainda é realizada no Brasil privilegiando apenas o discurso do adulto, de forma que os sentimentos e o desejo da criança geralmente não são levados em consideração num processo adotivo. Desse modo, o trabalho aqui apresentado teve como objetivo conhecer a visão da criança sobre o processo de tornar-se filho, filha de seus novos pais, num contexto de adoção tardia. Como procedimentos de coleta de dados, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, elaboração do genograma e construção do livro biográfico. Com as intervenções realizadas, pôde-se concluir que a criança expressava com silenciamentos conteúdos que a remetiam a aspectos anteriores à chegada à família adotante, demonstrando não querer falar da vivência anterior à adoção, contudo evidenciou, por meio de relatos e desenhos, a construção do vínculo com a família adotiva e o sentir-se integrada ao novo ambiente familiar.
Escalonamento de Workflows em Nuvens de Computadores com Restrições de Confidencialidade

Published: April 2021

Diversos cientistas tem migrado seus experimentos para a nuvem. Esses experimentos podem ser modelados como workflows científicos, e muito deles são intensivos em dados/computação. Os dados produzidos pelas execuções dos workflows são armazenados na nuvem, o que levanta a preocupação da confidencialidade dos dados, i.e., o risco do acesso não autorizado aos arquivos por conta de usuários maliciosos. Mecanismos como a dispersão dos dados e criptografia podem ser adotados para aumentar a confidencialidade dos dados. Entretanto, a adoção desses mecanismos não pode ser desacoplada do escalonamento do workflow, pois pode aumentar o tempo de execução e seu custo financeiro. Nesse artigo, apresentamos uma heurística de escalonamento de workflows denominada SaFER-GCH (workflow Scheduling with conFidEntiality pRoblem - Greedy random Constructive Heuristic), que considera restrições de confidencialidade dos dados enquanto executa o escalonamento das ativações. Experimentos com traces reais de workflows apresentaram resultados promissores.

Das korrespondiert mit einer zunehmenden Aufmerksamkeit für Sozialunternehmertum und hybride Organisationsformen.
Management of False Smut Disease of Rice: A Review
Authors: S. Baite Mathew , K. Khokhar Mukesh , P. Meena Ram
Published: April 2021

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important food crop of the developing world. Among the biotic stresses of false smut is an emerging disease caused by Ustilaginoidea virens. The disease reduces both the quality and quantity of rice. The pathogen produces mycotoxins that are harmful to animals and humans. The disease is severe when favorable environmental conditions like high humidity (more than 80%) and temperature ranging from 25 to 30°C, late sowing and high soil fertility as well as using high amount of nitrogen. It has gained the status of a major disease of rice and causing varying yield loss depending on the weather conditions during the crop-growing period and the genotypes. Therefore, the primary concern of the farmers is the disease management methods, which are effective, simple and practical. Since, there is no single effective management strategy for false smut, we have discussed about the potential management options available depending upon the economic status and adoption capacity of the farmers. In the Plant Pathologists point of view, eco-friendly methods of disease management like cultural, biological and use of resistant variety should be advocated for sustainability of agriculture and human being.
Prevalence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria Isolated from Sputum Samples of Patients with Pulmonary Infections in China
Authors: Zhou Wenjun , Zhao Hong , Yuan Hongping , Zhang Guiyun , Liu Qisha , Yang Jie
Published: April 2021

Background: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are widely associated with pulmonary diseases. Evidence is lacking on the transmission of NTM from one person to another. Hence, it has gained lower public health priority than tuberculosis. Objectives: We determined the prevalence and antibiotic resistance rate of NTM isolated from sputum samples of patients with pulmonary infections. Methods: A total of 375 duplicate sputum samples were collected from 375 patients on consecutive days. The NTM growth was assessed using BACTEC 960 mycobacterial growth indicator tubes. The GenoType Mycobacterium CM/AS line probe assay was used for the species-level identification of mycobacteria. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed using the auto-MODS assay. Results: The overall NTM prevalence rate was 34.4%. Mycobacterium avium complex (24.8%) was the predominant species identified, followed by M. kansasii (24%) and M. abscessus complex (20.2%). Of the 129 NTM isolates tested for antibiotic susceptibility, 62.8% were resistant to rifampicin, 60.5% to levofloxacin, 58.1% to ofloxacin, 55.8% to ethambutol, 49.6% to isoniazid, 48.1% to streptomycin, and 41.9% to amikacin. Seventy-three (56.6%) isolates were identified as multidrug-resistant (MDR) isolates. Conclusions: Mycobacterium avium complex was the predominant species identified, and the majority of the organisms were resistant to commonly used anti-tuberculosis drugs. The high prevalence of NTM and drug resistance towards the tested antibiotics suggests that NTM can no more be ignored as a contaminant, reiterating the need for periodic surveillance and species-specific treatment for effective management of diseases caused by NTM.

Authors: Mokhlesin Maryam , Choubineh Mehran , Ghasemi Alireza , Ahmadizadeh Zahra , Kasbi Fatemeh
Published: April 2021

Background: Some variables, such as age, gender, regional and dialectical differences influence speech tempo. Men and younger individuals speak faster than women and the elderly. Therefore, these variations should be considered when assessing speaking rate. Objectives: Since different accents influence speaking rates and there is no previous study investigated speech tempo with respect to regional and accent differences in Iran, and given that the elderly are more prone to problems influencing speaking rate, the present study was done to compare speech tempo and speaking rate in two different accents, namely Tehrani and Semnani, and to investigate some related factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 200 elderly women selected via convenience sampling method. Speech tempo, speaking rate, verbal fluency, and cognition scores were compared using an independent-samples t-test. Pearson’s correlation coefficient test was used to assess correlations between speaking rate and level of education, Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), and verbal fluency scores. Results: No significant difference was found in speech tempo between the studied accents (P = 0.13). Speaking rate was significantly slower in the Tehrani accent than the Semnani one (P = 0.04). The Tehrani elderly obtained significantly less scores in verbal fluency and MoCA ((P ≤ 0.001) and (P = 0.04), respectively. In both groups, speaking rate had a significant correlation with verbal fluency and MoCA scores but not with level of education. Conclusions: Although, our results showed no difference in speech tempo between the studied accents, the Tehrani elderly unexpectedly spoke more slowly meaning that they paused more while speaking.

The approaches review of the framework application in identification problems is fulfilled. It is showed that this concept can have different interpretations of identification problems. In particular, the framework is understood as a frame, structure, system, platform, concept, and basis. Two directions of this concept application are allocated: 1) the framework integrating the number of methods, approaches or procedures; b) the mapping describing in the generalized view processes and properties in a system. We give the review of approaches that are the basis of the second direction. They are based on the analysis of virtual geometric structures. These mappings (frameworks) differ in the theory of chaos, accidents, and the qualitative theory of dynamic systems. Introduced mappings (frameworks) are not set a priori, and they are determined based of the experimental data processing. The main directions analysis of geometrical frameworks application is fulfilled in structural identification problems of systems. The review includes following directions: i) structural identification of nonlinear systems; ii) an estimation of Lyapunov exponents; iii) structural identifiability of nonlinear systems; iv) the system structure choice with lag variables; v) system attractor reconstruction.

Cloud computing is considered a pattern for distributed and heterogeneous computing derived from many resources, and requests aim to share resources. Recently, cloud computing is graded among the top best technologies globally, which must be scheduled favorably to maximize providers’ profit and improve service quality for their customers. Scheduling specifies how users’ requests are assigned to virtual machines, and it plays a vital role in the efficiency and capability of the system. Its objective is to have a throughput or complete jobs in minimum time and the highest standard. Scheduling jobs in heterogeneous distributed systems is an NP-hard polynomial indecisive problem that is not solvable in polynomial time for real-time scheduling. The time complexity of jobs is growing exponentially, and this problem has a considerable effect on the quality of cloud services and providers’ efficiencies. The optimization of scheduling-related parameters using heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms can reduce the search space complexity and execution time. This study intends to represent a fitness function to minimize time and cost parameters. The proposed method uses a multi-purposed weighted genetic algorithm that provides six basic parameters: utility, task execution cost, response time, wait time, Makespan, and throughput to provide comprehensive optimization. The proposed approach improved response and wait times, throughput, Makespan, and utility 16, 9, 7, 8 percentages, respectively, by only a one cost unit reduction, which is dispensable. As a result, both providers and users will experience better services. The statistical tests show that the achieved improvement is valid for 94% of experiments.
Environmental visualization of selected Czech regions: analysis of geography textbooks
Authors: Trahorsch Petr , Kroufek Roman
Published: April 2021

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the quality of environmental visualization of selected regions in Czech geography textbooks for primary and lower secondary schools. The method of quantitative content analysis of visuals was used. The categories of quantitative analysis were defined based on the content of the environmental and geographical curriculum, for example landscape type, emotional charge etc. The results show a relatively similar structure of environmental visualization between textbooks: emotionally positive visuals showing the protection of cultural-historical heritage and protection of nature dominate. The exception is the Moravskoslezský kraj, which is visually presented in a negative way compared to other regions. In textbooks there are a minimum of abstract visuals or visuals showing the tendencies of environmental components.

Geological paths (geopaths, geotrails) represent a type of educational paths that connect sites which are interesting from the Earth-sciences point of view. These sites (e.g. outcrops, old quarries, historical buildings built of local stone or viewpoints) often represent the links between geodiversity and other phenomena within a region (which is in accordance with a holistic approach to geotourism). Thus, they can give complex information not only about the abiotic nature but also about biodiversity, history or culture of the region, usually through narrative. Suitable interpretation of geodiversity and its relationships to the biodiversity and cultural heritage allows to identify regional specifics, it helps to find the mutual connections between particular phenomena within the region and it supports the holistic perception of a given region. The contribution presents an example from the Brno city where the urban geopath can be used for teaching regional geography of Brno and its surroundings.
Empiricism or Its Dialectical Destruction?
Authors: Fendt Gene ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2021

Pamphilus’s introductory letter opens up contradictory ways of reading Hume’s Dialogues. The first, suggested by his claim to be a “mere auditor” to the dialogues that were “deeply imprinted in [his] memory,” is the empiricist reading. This traditional reading has gone several ways, including to the conclusions that the design of the mosquito and other “curious artifices of nature” that inflict pain and suffering on all bespeaks an utterly careless and insensate (if not malign) creator. Pamphilus’s preface also opens a more philosophical reading by his consideration of the ancient literary form of dialogue. This second interpretive path suggests that there is more design in its writing, and more revealed in it, than simple empiricist readings allow. Dialogically elucidating the Dialogues confronts us with the limits of empiricism in moral and religious philosophy. Hume’s last work, if read philosophically, exhibits the vacancy of empiricism.
Automation, Alteration
Authors: Nancy Jean-Luc , Ross Daniel ,   DePaul University
Published: April 2021

Is “philosophy after automation” a theme or a question? One might hesitate about this, because we may wonder whether or not it implies that philosophy could disappear after automation, or at least be subject to serious revision. Philosophy could be read as a historical movement towards self-determination [autodétermination] as well as the exposition of the limit of such a program of archi-autonomy. The Cartesian event (a prominent moment of the automation mutation) is essentially ambivalent, and man alone in the world is undoubtedly also the one who can but alter, in the long run, the sufficiency of the auto. This is what we can now begin to understand.

Quality of life and self-efficacy assessments are increasingly applied in research with type 2 diabetes mellitus patients due to the impact of the disease on their lives. This study aimed to describe the quality of life and self-efficacy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and describe the association of quality of life and self-efficacy with demographic, metabolic, and clinical variables. This is a secondary data analysis from a cross-sectional study: “Metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a public hospital in Peru: a cross-sectional study in a low-middle income country”. Data were obtained by standardized interviews and evaluation of medical records. The evaluation tools used were the Diabetes 39 questionnaire (D-39) to measure the quality of life and the General Self-Efficacy scale (GSE) for self-efficacy. The median scores of the D-39 and GSE were 34.6 and 34, respectively. The D-39 dimension with the highest score was “anxiety and concern.” Better quality of life was associated with being older than 65 years old, not having complications, and the absence of depression. No significant association was found between self-efficacy and the quality of life score. Results suggest patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a poor quality of life. Patient-centered strategies for type 2 diabetes mellitus care must consider these psychosocial factors to improve disease control and quality of life.

The increasing amount of evidence has caused an increasing amount of literature reviews. There are different types of reviews —systematic reviews are the best known—, and every type of review has different purposes. The scoping review is a recent model that aims to answer broad questions and identify and expose the available evidence for a broader question, using a rigorous and reproducible method. In the last two decades, researchers have discussed the most appropriate method to carry out scoping reviews, and recently the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses’ for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) reporting guideline was published. This is the fifth article of a methodological collaborative series of narrative reviews about general topics on biostatistics and clinical epidemiology. This review aims to describe what scoping reviews are, identify their objectives, differentiate them from other types of reviews, and provide considerations on how to carry them out.
