O PAPEL DA PARTICIPAÇÃO POPULAR NO CUMPRIMENTO DAS ODS E PNMU
Authors: Michelini Maria Eduarda Saquetto , Bernardinis Márcia de Andrade Pereira
Published: January 2025

A avaliação da mobilidade urbana a partir de políticas públicas é de extrema importância para as cidades brasileiras. Em especial para aquelas com menos de 100 mil habitantes que representam 87% da parcela total de municípios obrigados a estabelecer Plano de Mobilidade Urbana (BRASIL, 2017) e que possuem notáveis problemas de mobilidade associados a centralização da matriz de transportes no modo motorizado individual (LESSA; SILVA; SILVA, 2015) e a inexistência, muitas vezes, de um sistema de transporte público coletivo (BRASIL, 2012). Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente artigo é avaliar, a partir de uma análise quantitativa das propostas dos Planos de Mobilidade, a relação entre as políticas de inclusão social e o cumprimento das metas 9.1 e 11.2 dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) e da Política Nacional de Mobilidade Urbana (PNMU). Essa análise possui como recorte temático os municípios de pequeno porte de Santa Catarina, estado brasileiro com menor nível de desigualdade pelo Índice de Gini – 0,39 (IBGE, 2016). De forma geral, com a análise, pode-se observar que a efetividade no cumprimento das metas foi maior nos municípios com mais variedade e quantidade de participação popular, porém essa característica não é suficiente para assegurar a qualidade das propostas sem garantia de representativa social e competência da equipe técnica.

Pemberdayaan Ekonomi melalui Pengolahan Hasil Pertanian Desa Dayakan Kecamatan Badegan Kabupaten Ponorogo
Authors: Teguh Ansori
Published: January 2025

poverty in Indonesia is the largest contributor to the number of farmers. This is because farmers have not received special attention from the government. Even though Indonesia is a fertile country, many farmers are still at the poverty line. For example, farmers in Sekar Putih hamlet, Dayakan Village, Badengan District, Ponorogo Regency. Farmers will be more productive during the rainy season, and will become consumptive farmers during the dry season. This is because in the dry season, farmers do not cultivate their agricultural land, and only rely on plants planted in the rainy season. The method used in this service activity is ABCD (Asset Based Community Development) in which community empowerment uses an asset approach. Local assets around the community that have not been used for empowerment are used as empowerment capital. The results of the mapping of assets in the Sekar Putih hamlet, Dayakan Village, show that farmers have assets in the form of agricultural products, namely cassava. Cassava is made into a cassava layered sponge cake to have a high selling value. So that the result of processing assets in the form of cassava is able to improve the economy of farmers
Hoezo wetenschappelijke vorming? Over rendementen en de functies van de Universiteit van Amsterdam, 1877-1940
Authors: Knegtmans Peter Jan
Published: January 2025

For more than a century, professors in the Netherlands have claimed that the Dutch universities educated students for scholarly practice. And indeed, this is what in the 1876 Act on Higher Education was formulated as one of the purposes of the universities: educating and preparing students for independent scholarly practice and to prepare them for holding posts in society for which a scholarly training was required. For this article I have investigated how many of the more than 16.000 students of the University of Amsterdam who enrolled between 1877 and 1937 actually graduated. The result shows that until the Second World War, only a very small part of these students did scholarly research during their studies. For the majority of students, the university mainly acted as a set of professional schools in preparing students for holding posts for which a scholarly training was required.

Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Theory and History of State and Law of the Saint Petersburg State Fire Service University of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Belkharoev Khadzhimurad U.
Published: January 2025

The article examines the features of ensuring and regulating food security in our country.
It is revealed that the effective implementation of the state policy of food self-sufficiency covers the main elements of socio-political, demographic, economic and military security of the country.
It is certain that urban settlements are heterogeneous in their structure, large cities (millionaires) stand out among them.
It has been established that intensified production and excessive load during land use directly contributes to the loss of agri-
cultural allotments, the loss of a fertile layer of land, the widespread negative situation at the global level.
It is revealed that the dynamic population growth in the world, especially in the poor countries of Asia, Africa and the Middle East, the globalization of economic activity, the urbanization of urban settlements, the lack of modern technologies and special equipment, expose entire continents to a constant risk of hunger and disruption of the ecological natural balance. Especially in this case, the African continent is vulnerable, which is a third dependent on food supplies from Russia.
The Federal Law "On the Development of Agriculture" and the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation are considered.
It is shown that the soil is a basic natural resource, which, with proper use, ensures the food security of the regions and the country. Taking into account the formation of new risks and threats to national security, which are promoted by mutual restrictive mea-sures, it is necessary to develop protective measures, the core of which is legal regulation. The adoption of the necessary regulatory documents, primarily the Federal Law "On Food Security", will contribute to the creation of conditions for the development of state policy in the field of ensuring national food security.

This paper presents a high-gain three-phase interleaved rectifier operating in DCM, with dual input, for application in small wind generators. The two input diode bridges promote the sharing of the current, resulting in a significant reduction of the converter's current stresses when compared to previous topologies. A theoretical analysis of the proposed converter was performed, followed by a simulation study, and experimental tests with a physical prototype. The simulations compared the proposed three-phase rectifier with three other three-phase topologies, demonstrating its operation with significantly reduced current stresses and smaller input inductors. The experiments compared the operation of the converter when working with a three-phase power supply, and a wind turbine in association with an MPPT method using the Perturb and Observe P&O technique. For an output power of 1 kW, on a 400 V DC bus and an input RMS line voltage of 114 V, the structure's obtained efficiency was higher than 95%. Furthermore, the experimental results confirmed that the rectifier operates with sinusoidal input currents, low current ripple, and high power factor for all the tested scenarios.
The effect of the method of production a new fertilizer containing Streptomyces coelicolor grown on whey on its effectiveness
Authors: Magradze E. I.
Published: January 2025

Relevance. In recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of new bacterial fertilizers. New fertilizers must be effective, so it is important to select their qualitative and quantitative composition. It is equally important to study the effect of these bacteria on their number, dissemination and long-term residence in the soil, as well as their effects on plants.

Aim of the Study. This work studies the effect of the method of obtaining a fertilizer containing Streptomyces coelicolor grown on the whey on the amount and duration of these bacteria in the soil and on the growth characteristics of white mustard (Sinapis alba L.) sown into the soil after a long time after watering with fertilizer.

Methods. The whey was diluted and autoclaved, Streptomyces coelicolor were grown on this substrate. An inoculum for this biofertilizer was obtained in two ways. The first way: Streptomyces coelicolor were grown once on a Waksman`s media. The second way: the inoculum was sequentially grown on the whey, gradually increasing the volume. Bacteria in fertilizer were cultivated without mixing or by mixing in the temperature-controlled shaker. We studied the effect of biofertilizer on soil in containers in the laboratory. The amount of Streptomyces coelicolor in the soil was determined 0.5, 1.5, 2 and 4 months after watering by fertilizer. Seeds of white mustard were sown two months after watering with fertilizer. We studied the effect of fertilizer on growth characteristics of white mustard.

Results. The fertilizer obtained by sequentially cultivating the inoculum and growing streptomyces without mixing contained ten times more streptomyces than fertilizers obtained by another method. This biofertilizer also effectively increased the number of streptomyces in the soil. Streptomyces from fertilizer have been preserved in the soil for a long time. The effect of biofertilizers obtaining without mixing on growth characteristics of white mustard was the most effectively.

Conclusion. The fertilizer obtained by sequentially cultivating the inoculum and growing streptomyces without mixing contributes to a more increase of streptomyces number in the soil and is more effective in growing white mustard then fertilizers obtained by other methods. Our biofertilizer is effective in growing crops sown in the soil for a long time after watering with fertilizer. The fertilizer can be used in indoor crop production and greenhouse farms.

Published: January 2025

Relevance. Chicory root (Cichorium intybus) is a very valuable technical, vegetable and medicinal crop. The development and improvement of a scientifically based fertilizer system is one of the most important issues in agricultural production, since it determines not only the level of crop yield, but also the direction of changing, increasing and preserving soil fertility in general.

Material and Methods. The aim of the research was to identify the most effective doses of mineral fertilizers and methods of their application (basic and top dressing) to ensure maximum yields of root chicory root crops. The research was carried out in 2021-2022 in the field of the Rostov Vegetable experimental station on chicory – Branсh of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution Federal Scientific Vegetable Center. Chicory seeds of the Petrovsky root variety were used for sowing. Mineral fertilizers were applied in the form of azophosphate and potassium sulfate.

Results. On sod-podzolic soils, the use of mineral fertilizers had a positive effect on the yield of chicory root crops. The more developed the leaf rosette of plants, the higher the yield of root chicory.

Conclusion. In the soil and climatic conditions of the Non-Chernozem zone of the Russian Federation, the greatest effect from the use of mineral fertilizers on root chicory is observed with a mineral nutrition system that includes the main application at a dose of N60P60K60 and top dressing at a dose of N60P60K60.
Management and Ecological Services of Multipurpose Agroforestry Tree Species in Ethiopia. Review
Authors: Biru K. H. , Cheru U.
Published: January 2025

Relevance. Ethiopians have a long history of planting trees, and they have embraced the idea of keeping natural trees with many uses as a distinctive feature of their agricultural landscapes. Farmers use agroforestry practices to maintain a number of species of multipurpose trees. The selection of tree species, their intended benefits, and ecological services are inconsistent due to variability in agroecological conditions. The main problems with Ethiopia's multifunctional agroforestry tree species were also related to management approaches.

Therefore, the purpose of this article is to examine the multipurpose agroforestry tree species in Ethiopia, their management methods, and their ecological benefits. In southern Ethiopia, Cordia africana, Millettia ferruginea, Erythrina brucei, and Olea capensis are the main multifunctional tree species used. The northern part of Ethiopia hosts Croton macrostachus, Vernonia amygdalina, Faidherbia albida, Acacia nilotica, Acacia seyal, and Grewia bicolor. The central highlands of Ethiopia are also home to Albizia gummifera, Cordia africana, Croton macrostachus, Ficus vasta, and Vernonia amygdalina. Farmers use coppicing, pollarding, and pruning tree management techniques to balance their survival with integrated crops because trees regenerate naturally. Multipurpose trees offer a range of agro-ecological services, such as improving soil fertility, mitigating erosion, mitigating the impacts of climate change, and maintaining biological diversity.

Codzienne wyzwania nauczycieli języka polskiego w pracy z uczniami ukraińskiego pochodzenia
Authors: Mazowiecka Kornelia , Tatar Wiktoria
Published: January 2025

W artykule zostały ukazane problemy, z jakimi mierzą się nauczyciele w szkołach podstawowych i ponadpodstawowych uczących nowo przybyłych uczniów pochodzenia ukraińskiego. Utworzono ankietę, która miała na celu dostarczyć informacji na temat obecnej sytuacji polonistów oraz wskazać, jakie działania warto podjąć w celu jej poprawy. Autorki zadały pytania odnośnie do prowadzonych lekcji np. czy obecność dzieci i młodzieży obcojęzycznych wpływa na jakość prowadzenia zajęć oraz – bardzo istotne – czy nauczyciele mają wykształcenie glottodydaktyczne. Zapytano również, w jaki sposób nauczyciele wytłumaczyliby typowo gramatyczne zagadnienie. Badanie pokazuje, że w polskich szkołach nadal występują te same problemy, co na początku przypływu obcokrajowców do placówek edukacyjnych. Na podstawie zebranego materiału pojawiła się konkluzja, że sytuacja wciąż jest trudna dla obu stron – zarówno nauczycieli, jak i uczniów oraz wymaga poprawy.

Published: January 2025

Background: Intensive feeding systems for lamb production are based on high concentrations of feed, depending on the type of forage, which can cause digestive disturbances; however, forage particle length (FPL) and size (FPS) can affect the fermentation process and the productive performance of lambs. Intensive feeding systems for lamb production are based on high concentrations of feed, depending on the type of forage, which can cause digestive disturbances; however, forage particle length (FPL) and size (FPS) can affect the fermentation process and the productive performance of lambs. Understanding how the lambs meet these challenges requires a conceptual integration of forage structure, mechanical particle size of forage and microbial fermentation. This synthesis will hopefully contribute to the development of a biomimetic co-treatment process for translating the unique characteristics of digestion into an effective component of biorefineries for the industrial conversion of cellulosic in forage biomass to useful products. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the relationship among FPL, degradability of feed in vitro and digestibility of organic materials. Methods: As a laboratory simulation of rumen functions, four alfalfa FPS lengths were studied within the components of integrated feed pellets 0.1 mm, common in the Saudi animal feed market, 5, 10 and 15 mm using the same feed composition, but with different lengths. Result: Cumulative gas production in PSL8 and PSL12 lambs was higher compared with the other two groups, indicating that lengths greater than 15 mm and less than 5 mm affected gas production rates. The effect of FPL on rumen parameters had no effect on the pH of the rumen fluid. There were no significant differences in all values of the main volatile fatty acids acetate, propionate and butyrate and digestibility increased when the FPL ranged from 5 to 10 mm as in the PSL5 and PSL10 groups. Hydrogen levels were significantly higher in the PSL1 and PSL10 groups than in the PSL5 and PSL15 groups. Based on forage size, groups PSL5 to PSL10 showed the possibility of using this type of feed for growing lambs and small ruminants.

Mise en valeur de l'écosystème forestier guyanais - Opération ECEREX : résumé des premiers résultats
Authors: Sarrailh Jean-Michel
Published: January 2025

L'opération ECEREX est une opération combinée pluridisciplinaire entreprise en Guyane française pour étudier les possibilités de développement de l'écosystème forestier après exploitation à des fins papetières.L'étude des effets de cette exploitation et des conditions de site créées a été réalisée sur dix bassins versants élémentaires (1 à 2 hectares) et sur une parcelle de 25 hectares où la forêt a été laissée en régénération naturelle.Ces études ont permis d'établir une méthode expérimentale sur les sols révélant la prédominance du type de drainage du sol sur la plupart des autres paramètres (relatifs à l'hydrologie, à la botanique, à la biologie du sol, etc.)Ainsi, dans les cas les plus contrastés - sols à drainage vertical libre et sols à drainage vertical bloqué - le ruissellement varie de 5 % à 26 % et la percolation de 43 % à 9 % en forêt.Les mesures in situ montrent que le nombre d'inondations augmente de 50 % à 150 % par rapport aux conditions initiales de la forêt.En revanche, les phénomènes d'érosion, décuplés au stade du défrichement et de la préparation des terrains, se stabilisent très rapidement à un niveau comparable à celui observé en forêt naturelle dès que la végétation est rétablie.Sur le plan agronomique, les premiers résultats obtenus sur les pâturages et les vergers laissent entrevoir la possibilité de tels développements, à condition que les normes culturales soient strictement respectées (fertilisation, entretien, etc.).

Thermoelectric transport properties of BaFe2Fe16O27 hexaferrites
Authors: Zhang Xiaozhi , Fu Ling , Pan Zhenyu , Wan Shun , Wei Tian-Ran
Published: January 2025

Exploring new materials with earth-abundant and low-toxicity elements has been a long-standing goal in thermoelectrics. Hexaferrites, a family of environmentally friendly oxides, exhibit complex and tunable structures and excellent magnetic properties, but receive limited attention as potential thermoelectric materials. Here in this study, we systematically investigated the thermoelectric transport properties of W-type hexaferrites BaFe2Fe16O27 and the cobalt-substituted derivatives prepared by sintering in the nitrogen atmosphere. These materials exhibit an n-type conduction behavior and cobalt substitution can tune the electrical transport properties effectively. Low-temperature specific heat capacity analysis unravels the existence of low-energy optical phonons that contribute to damping the heat transport. Low room temperature thermal conductivity of 1.27 W m-1 K-1 is obtained, and the role of cobalt substitution on the thermal conductivity reduction is rationalized by the Debye-Callaway model. This study ‌enlightens the investigation of the thermoelectric transport properties of W-type hexaferrites BaFe2Fe16O27 and extends the scope of new thermoelectric compounds.

Published: January 2025

With the continuous development of small and medium-sized electronic devices, which bring convenience to people’s lives, electromagnetic wave (EMW) pollution has emerged as a significant issue. The development of materials with electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding capabilities for protection against harmful radiation plays a vital role. Currently, a wide range of multifunctional, lightweight EMI shielding materials have been created to address various environmental requirements. However, a single EMI shielding material has been difficult to meet the requirements of high-speed transmission of electromagnetic radiation of electronic equipment because when such devices operate at high speeds, they typically generate elevated temperatures, and excessive electromagnetic radiation further exacerbates heat accumulation, reducing both efficiency and lifespan. Therefore, thermal management is essential to lower operating temperatures and ensure optimal performance. Phase change materials (PCMs) are known for storing a large amount of energy, and have significant potential in thermal management, so flexible EMI phase change composites (PCCs) have emerged. This review provides a detailed examination of flexible EMI shielding materials based on various fillers, the potential of flexible PCMs in thermal management, and the latest advancements in developing new lightweight EMI PCCs. Finally, we suggest some potential research directions for flexible EMI shielding PCCs, hoping to contribute to the rapid advancement of next-generation flexible electronics, human thermal management, and artificial intelligence.

Terrorist echo of the Gaza War in Europe: real menace or excessive alarmism?
Authors: Yashlavskii A.
Published: January 2025

The war that broke out in October 2024 between Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Palestinian Gaza Strip caused a wide resonance far beyond the Middle East. One of the echoes of the conflict was the rise of threats related to terrorist and extremist manifestations in European countries. In particular, a significant increase in xenophobic (primarily anti-Semitic and Islamophobic) manifestations was recorded; representatives of the European states’ special services issued warnings about the possibility of terrorist attacks provoked by the Gaza war. The events in the Gaza Strip have become both an indicator of the sentiments existing within European societies that are far from the ideas of universal tolerance promoted by the establishment and a catalyst for intercommunal tensions in Europe. To a certain extent, the “message” carried by certain terrorist actions in European countries can also serve as a reminder to society about conflicts, especially the ones in the Middle East. In this regard, it is important to mention the easily noticeable difference between the approaches of European countries to conflicts in Ukraine and in the Gaza Strip. If in the former case the European countries took an uncompromising anti-Russian position, coupled not only with sanctions against Russia, but also with a boycott of everything Russian, then in the latter case, the attitude towards Israel’s harsh actions, leading to mass civilian casualties among the Palestinians, is not so obvious. Ritual calls to reduce the suffering of the civilian population are often coupled with open support – in word and deed – for Israel in its confrontation with Hamas. The article examines the potential and real threats associated with terrorist activity in Europe. The growth of xenophobic sentiments in Europe, as well as the widespread dissemination on the Internet of images of civilians killed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone on both sides, serves as a breeding ground for radicalization of some European residents and, possibly, a harbinger of acts of extremist and even terrorist violence, in which the main danger is the jihadist underground operating in European countries. From the point of view of the terrorist threat to Europe, parallels are drawn between the situation related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the recent conflicts in other regions (such as the invasion of Iraq, the anti-terrorist campaign in Afghanistan, and the war in Syria). Differences are also noted between conflicts in which European countries were or remain directly involved, and the war in Gaza, where Europe’s involvement is not direct. In addition, the possibility of terrorist manifestations by various actors (both internal and external to Europe) is analyzed, and it is concluded that homegrown self-radicalized lone extremists pose the greatest danger to European countries.
Evosmosis Cycles: A Breakthrough in Harnessing Ambient Thermal Energy for Sustainable Power Generation
Authors: Mustafa Hewa , Naeem Sajid
Published: January 2025

The development of Evosmosis Cycles introduces a novel method for harnessing ambient thermal energy, offering a transformative solution for sustainable energy production. These cycles operate through vapor pressure gradients within a closed system, integrating the principles of osmosis and Raoult’s law to create a self-sustaining energy loop. The experimental system consists of two chambers separated by a selectively permeable membrane, each containing solutions of differing solute concentrations. Enhanced evaporation in the low-solute chamber and increased condensation in the high-solute chamber sustain continuous energy flow. Additionally, the incorporation of highly soluble gases, such as carbon dioxide, amplifies vapor pressure gradients and energy output.

Ethnic Divisions Within Unity: Insights into Intra-Group Segregation from Israel’s Ultra-Orthodox Society
Authors: Gorelik Boris
Published: January 2025

Ethnic segregation, a global phenomenon shaping social dynamics, urban development, and political behavior, is typically studied between distinct racial or national groups. This study provides insights into internal divisions within seemingly unified populations by investigating intra-group segregation within Israel’s ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Jewish communities. By analyzing Knesset voting patterns as a proxy for residential distribution, I quantify segregation between two major ethnic groups within the Haredi community and identify significant segregation across Haredi-majority cities and clusters. Dissimilarity indices reveal distinct voluntary segregation patterns, with the city of Ashdod emerging as a unique case study due to its dynamic segregation trends and an unexplained sharp decline in dissimilarity in 2021. A comparison with Black-White segregation in U.S. metro areas highlights differing drivers of segregation: cultural and religious dynamics in Haredi communities versus structural inequalities in the U.S. Despite relatively lower dissimilarity scores, cultural and institutional factors reinforce residential separation. This research underscores the need for continued exploration of segregation’s underlying drivers and its implications for fostering more cohesive societies.

Background: This study focuses on the prevalence of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) among the hospitalized patients in various hospital departments including ICU, Emergency, Kidney Dialysis units and other departments and its molecular characterization. Objectives: The study aims to isolate and identify A. baumannii strains, investigate their resistance to various antibiotics, and analyze the genes responsible for this resistance using molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Methodology: A total of 100 samples were collected from different hospital departments, including the ICU, emergency room, and kidney dialysis units. The study found a high prevalence of MDR A. baumannii isolates, especially in ICU patients. Results: The males were the predominant group, accounting for 60 (60%), while females were 40(40%). The most frequent samples are from urine (43%) and skin (24%). Smaller percentages of samples are pus (12%) and ulcers (5%). Most of the collected samples are from the ICU (42%) and emergency departments (20%). A notable number is also from kidney dialysis units (15%) and environmental sources (13%). Molecular analysis revealed the presence of several resistance genes, including blaOXA-23, blaOXA-24, blaOXA-51, and blaOXA-58, which contribute to carbapenem resistance. Conclusion: The findings emphasize the urgent need for improved infection control measures, antibiotic stewardship, and the development of targeted treatment protocols to mitigate the spread of MDR infections in healthcare settings.
