Published: September 2023

A pesquisa que se apresenta refere-se ao estudo da efetividade da Área de Proteção do Ambiente Cultural (APAC) de Santa Cruz, bairro da zona oeste do município do Rio de Janeiro. A metodologia adotada inclui a interpretação das diretrizes de conservação estabelecidas no instrumento da APAC (Decreto n° 12.524 de 9 de dezembro de 1993), e o mapeamento das edificações que compõem o conjunto preservado (sistematizados em fichas de inventário), considerando nos aspectos arquitetônicos o estado de conservação e o grau de caracterização, observados a partir de registros fotográficos realizados in loco, e, também, através de imagens coletadas do Google Maps. As análises foram conclusivas em apontar a insuficiência da efetividade da aplicação do instrumento de proteção, uma vez que apenas 23% das edificações apresentam-se caracterizadas. Percebe-se uma gestão insatisfatória do órgão de tutela, bem como uma desvalorização dos bens no contexto da paisagem local. Os resultados da pesquisa serão úteis para elaboração de ações de preservação e educação patrimonial.
Comparative Study of Blockchain Consensus Algorithms in Cryptocurrency
Authors: Mohanan Nishitha , D Sudha
Published: September 2023

Blockchain technology serves as a cornerstone for various cryptocurrencies, with current research primarily focusing on its security aspects due to its inherent qualities such as stability, immutability, security, and decentralization. Similar to other distributed systems, Blockchain relies on consensus algorithms to achieve agreement and safeguard its network. In recent years, diverse consensus algorithms have emerged within the Blockchain ecosystem, playing a pivotal role in upholding the security and integrity of distributed networks in blockchain technology. These algorithms are fundamental in maintaining trust within the blockchain technology realm. They can be categorized into two types: proof-based and voting-based. This paper presents some of the prominent consensus algorithms from these two categories while scrutinizing their respective strengths, weaknesses, and the specific types of blockchains to which these algorithms are applicable.

Authors: Whiteside-Mansell Leanne , McKelvey Lorraine , Lewis Kanna , Peters Rubie
Published: September 2023

This study examined a web-based assessment of adverse childhood experiences (eFMI-ACE) of children birth to 3 years-of-age using the Family Map Inventory (FMI-ACE) conducted by early childhood education (ECE) program staff. The paper version of FMI-ACE (pFMI-ACE) is a validated tool to screen ACEs among children birth to 5 years-of-age enrolled in home visiting programs. In this study, parents of children (N=1,591) enrolled in Early Head Start (EHS) between August 2018 and July 2020 were interviewed using the electronically formatted Family Map Inventory (FMI). The EHS providers interviewed parents through the FMI online system as part of their program family assessments. Analyses mirrored the pFMI-ACE validation study to confirm the fidelity of electric assessment of the FMI-ACE (eFMI-ACE). Further analyses examined the change in the eFMI-ACE responses in programs that interviewed families twice during EHS program participation. The eFMI-ACE score, like the validation study, was negatively associated with parental warmth and had a similar distribution. After a minimum 90 days of EHS services (M = 186, SD = 60; range 91-448), eFMI-ACE scores were statistically significantly reduced. The family-friendly screen for risk of ACEs functions similarly in electronic and paper administration and for children birth to 3 years-of-age. It showed small but statistically significant reductions after EHS services.

La influencia económica de los culíes chinos en el Perú (1849-1876)
Authors: Li Yucen
Published: September 2023

[ES] Resumen: Perú proclamó su independencia del dominio español en 1821. En la primera mitad del siglo XIX, debido a la abolición de la esclavitud y la escasez de fuerza de trabajo, este país latinoamericano comenzó gradualmente el tráfico de culíes chinos. En octubre de 1849, los primeros 75 trabajadores chinos llegaron a Perú tras un viaje largo de 120 días por mar. En noviembre del mismo año, el gobierno peruano promulgó la Ley del Chino, luchando por la migración de trabajadores chinos a Perú. Tras la firma del Tratado de Tien Tsin entre China y Perú en 1874 y su entrada en vigor desde 1876, ambos países establecieron relaciones diplomáticas y el reinicio del tráfico de culíes se volvió imposible. Los culíes chinos sobrevivientes se convirtieron en trabajadores libres e ingresaron a la vida social peruana, realizando una gran contribución a la economía local. Entre toda la contribución económica, destacan el impacto económico directo sobre la agricultura peruana, la industria peruana (guano) y el sector de servicios peruano, y el impacto económico indirecto que ha tenido un efecto a largo plazo sobre el desarrollo económico posterior del Perú, incluidas la construcción de infraestructura y la colonización de la selva.

The Economic Impact of the Chinese Coolies in Peru (1849-1876)
[EN] Abstract: Peru proclaimed its independence from Spanish rule in 1821. In the first half of the 19th century, due to the abolition of slavery and the shortage of labor force, this Latin American country gradually began the traffic of Chinese coolies. In October 1849, the first 75 Chinese laborers arrived in Peru after a 120-day long sea voyage. In November of the same year, the Peruvian government enacted the Chinese Law, fighting the migration of Chinese laborers to Peru. After the signing of the Treaty of Tien Tsin between China and Peru in 1874 and its entry into force from 1876, the two countries established diplomatic relations and the resumption of the Coolie Trade became impossible. The surviving Chinese coolies became free workers and entered Peruvian social life, making a great contribution to the local economy. Among all the economic contribution, the direct economic impact on Peruvian agriculture, Peruvian industry (guano) and the Peruvian service sector, and the indirect economic impact that has had a long-term effect on Peru's subsequent economic development, including the construction of infrastructure and the colonization of the jungle, stand out.

¿Caerá el Perú en “la trampa económica” de China por la Iniciativa de la Franja y la Ruta?
Authors: Zhang Xiaoxu
Published: September 2023

[ES] Resumen: El año 2023 es el décimo aniversario del lanzamiento de “la Franja y la Ruta”. El Perú firmó el memorando de entendimiento sobre esta iniciativa con China en 2019, convirtiéndose en el 19º país de América Latina en sumarse a ella. En el marco de esta iniciativa propuesta por el presidente chino Xi Jinping, la cooperación comercial y de inversión entre los dos países se estrecha cada vez más. Sin embargo, algunos comentarios sugieren que el Perú corre el riesgo de caer en la trampa económica de China. Para disipar esta preocupación, este trabajo analiza la esencia intrínseca de “la Franja y la Ruta”, la intención subjetiva de la política china hacia América Latina, así como la realidad objetiva de las relaciones económicas sino-peruanas. Las conclusiones son claras: esta iniciativa china no genera ni amenazas ni discriminaciones para ningún país, el gigante asiático tiene como objetivo desarrollar relaciones saludables con los países latinoamericanos, incluido el Perú, y este país sudamericano se beneficia mucho de la cooperación económica con China. Por todo esto, “la Franja y la Ruta” no tiene nada que ver con la supuesta “trampa económica” contra el Perú.
Palabras clave: La Franja y la Ruta, Xi Jinping, Política china hacia América Latina, relaciones económicas entre China y el Perú
[EN] Abstract: The year 2023 is the tenth anniversary of the launch of “the Belt and Road”. Peru signed the memorandum of understanding with China on this initiative in 2019, becoming the 19th country in Latin America to join the initiative. Within the framework of this initiative proposed by the Chinese president Xi Jinping, trade and investment cooperation between the two countries has become increasingly close. However, some comments suggest that Peru risks falling into the trap of the Chinese economy. In order to dispel this concern, this paper analyzes the intrinsic essence of the “the Belt and Road”, the subjective intention of China's policy towards Latin America and the objective reality of economic relations between China and Peru. The conclusion is clear: China’s initiative will not generate a threat or discrimination to any country, the goal of this Asian giant is to develop healthy relationships with Latin American countries, including Peru, and this South American country benefits greatly from economic cooperation with China. For all these reasons, “the Belt and Road” is not related to the so-called “economic trap” against Peru.

A tentativa apagamento da visibilidade da mulher negra no Brasil: da ausência de representatividade ao protagonismo
Authors: Lima Leandro da Silva
Published: September 2023

Este estudo traz uma abordagem sobre a importância de conhecer os desdobramentos históricos resultantes da escravidão para a sociedade brasileira. Ele busca evidenciar como o respeito, a dignidade e a valorização da mulher negra são cruciais nas lutas por igualdade social e no combate ao racismo estrutural. Além disso, o estudo destaca como essas questões, relevantes para todas as minorias, têm sido frequentemente silenciadas. O trabalho realiza uma análise sobre a tentativa de apagar a visibilidade da mulher negra e sua escassa representatividade em áreas consideradas elitizadas da sociedade, como a política, a academia, a magistratura e a direção de grandes empresas. O levantamento bibliográfico é fundamentado na história dos negros desde a época da escravidão, abrangendo também os movimentos de libertação e o feminismo negro. Esses elementos foram vitais para a formação da estrutura de lutas políticas voltadas para a igualdade social e, principalmente, racial. O estudo busca demonstrar, por meio de uma ampla revisão bibliográfica que inclui principalmente autores negros, a importância da educação na formação da consciência de luta, especialmente para a mulher negra. Na "pirâmide social" como a conhecemos, ela ocupa a posição mais baixa, ficando atrás de homens brancos, mulheres brancas e homens negros. Além disso, o trabalho destaca a relevância da representatividade da mulher negra como um modelo para as futuras gerações. Ela serve como o elo que conectará essas mulheres ao lugar de protagonismo, demonstrando que a educação e o conhecimento são as forças mais poderosas para fortalecer esse vínculo.

Os métodos de conservação como a salga, a defumação e os conservantes têm um papel eficaz na shelf life dos alimentos. Contudo, os conservantes químicos têm-se mostrado o quanto são capazes de desenvolver malefícios a saúde quando adicionados ou consumidos em quantidades acima do permitido pela legislação, esse problema se agrava quando trata-se de consumidores sem senso crítico e com organismos frágeis como os infantes. Objetivou-se com a pesquisa avaliar a composição dos produtos alimentícios industrializados mais encontrados em produtos destinados ao público infantil com o intuito de identificar a presença de conservantes alimentares. A metodologia é de natureza aplicada, descritiva e quali-quantitativa e foi realizada por meio da análise de 42 alimentos industrializados mais consumidos por crianças, entre março e maio de 2020. Com critério de possuírem em sua composição os conservantes listados na RDC n° 45/2010, essas informações extraídas foram dispostas em uma tabela contendo os conservantes encontrados e sua frequência.

No Brasil o papel da Psicolinguística tem sido primordialmente investigar os fatores envolvidos no processamento da leitura, remontando ao início do presente milênio. Na intersecção da Psicologia Cognitiva com a Ciência da Linguagem, vê-se o movimento das pesquisas para prover discussões e aprimoramento ao desempenho dos leitores brasileiros, em função dos baixos escores obtidos por estudantes brasileiros em testes como o do Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes (PISA). Ler e compreender um texto é uma capacidade cognitiva complexa que permite aos indivíduos entender e extrair os significados dos textos escritos. Além disso, constitui um processo em que as estratégias cognitivas e habilidades fundamentais para a compreensão são postas em funcionamento. Há importantes elementos imbricados nesse processo de ler e compreender: - texto (objeto linguístico e cultural que possui um significado), - um leitor (que é detentor de saberes, de experiências, de capacidades e de habilidades) - uma situação comunicativa que promove a interação entre o leitor e o autor por meio do texto (que determina o que é compreendido e como é compreendido). Assim, este artigo objetiva apresentar os processos que ocorrem para a compreensão em leitura ser possível, buscando trazer particularidades dos diferentes níveis da educação básica, período em que o leitor se forma e desenvolve estratégias para aprender a partir do que lê.

Published: September 2023

O presente trabalho resulta de um estudo bibliográfico, no qual busca-se compreender as possibilidades de leitura de mundo e formação humana, a partir da obra literária e de sua contribuição para a educação libertadora.  Fundamenta-se no pensamento Freireano acerca da educação em uma perspectiva da problematização, formação crítica, humanização e nas ideias de Antônio Candido, para quem a obra literária possui probabilidades de formar e humanizar. Nesse processo, dialoga-se com a obra Acari Zebra, a qual expressa a vida de uma espécie rara e nativa do rio Xingu. Emerique (2018), destaca a partir dessa obra as condições de vida da espécie nas águas, a qual tem seu habitat natural modificado com a implementação de uma usina hidrelétrica, que também interfere no modo de vida da população local. O trabalho está estruturado em dois tópicos que se articulam: no primeiro aborda-se as concepções de Literatura, humanização e educação, conforme autores selecionados, na sequência, reflete-se a partir da obra literária mencionada, a vinculação entre a literatura, a realidade e suas tramas sociais. A pesquisa destaca   a potencialidade da obra literária para pensar as complexas relações que o ser humano estabelece em sociedade, e com a natureza em nome de sua sobrevivência e do progresso. Face ao exposto pode-se considerar que a literatura pode educar, não conforme um ideal pedagógico oficial, mas a partir do diálogo com as emoções, com a sensibilidade dos sujeitos e estimulando a capacidade de compreensão e reflexão da realidade.

Published: September 2023

The study was conducted to investigate productivity, profitability and energy use of different jute (Corchorus olitorius L.) based cropping systems in the eastern India on farmers' fields during 2009-12. Nine cropping systems, viz. jute-ricewheat; jute-rice-potato; jute-rice-garden pea; jute-rice-lentil; jute-rice-mustard; jute-rice-French bean; jute-rice-rice; ricerice-mustard and fallow-rice-rice were tested in randomised block design. Jute-rice-potato system recorded significantly higher system productivity in terms of jute equivalent yield(JEY) than all other cropping systems. The JEY of jute-ricegarden pea and jute-rice-French bean cropping systems were comparable, but recorded significantly higher JEY than that of rice-rice-mustard and rice-rice cropping systems. The highest energy input (61.2 GJ)/ha) was required for jute-ricepotato and lowest (34.3 GJ/ha) for jute-rice-lentil cropping systems. The highest energy productivity was recorded in juterice-potato but the highest energy use efficiency was recorded in jute-rice-garden pea and jute-rice-lentil cropping systems. The jute-rice-potato cropping system recorded the highest net return (Rupees 134 868/ha), benefit-cost ratio (2.0) and economic efficiency (Rupees 369.5/ha/day). Thus among the nine cropping systems of Indo-gangetic plain jute-rice-potato system had the highest system productivity, energy productivity and profitability whereas jute-rice-garden pea cropping system recorded the highest energy use efficiency.

Published: September 2023

The data were collected from randomly selected trees at three sites with plant spacing, viz. 1.5m ×1.5m, 1.0m × 3.5m and 3.0m × 3.0m (namely S-I, II and III, respectively) of Acrocarpus fraxinifolius (20 years old) in mid hill conditions of Himachal Pradesh. The effect of plant spacing and diameter class on growth characteristics, viz. diameter at breast height (dbh), tree height, bole height, form factor, basal area, stem volume and crown parameters was assessed. Stem volume was positively and highly correlated with all growth parameters and showed highest correlation (0.95) with dbh. The tree height, bole height, basal area, stem volume, crown height, crown width and crown area increased significantly with increase in diameter as well as with spacing. Study regarding fiber length and specific gravity also contributed to growth behaviour of pink cedar at different spacing, where, specific gravity of wood showed an erratic behaviour with slight variation from 0.66 to 0.88, while stem and branch fiber length increased (1.05 to 1.11mm and 0.78 to 0.95mm, respectively) with increasing plant spacing. The overall growth performance of the species was best at 3m × 3m spacing.

This study was carried out on the use of strains of arbuscular mycorhizal fungi (Acaulospora sp. and Glomus sp.) as a means to control F. oxysporum effect. After 15 days of inoculation, several measurements of the lengths roots, stem and leaves were noted and symptoms of Fusarium disease were also recorded. The results revealed that F. oxysporum is a pathogen for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants (super strain) variety, causing Fusarium disease of this host, which manifests by yellowing, wilting and necrosis of aerial parts, and reduced growth parameters in plants. Therefore, the disease incidence after 15 days of inoculation is estimated at 75 and 50% for (T1 and T3) respectively. In addition, our results revealed that the percentage of incidence was 100 and 25% respectively for T1 and T3 after 22 days. Whereas, the results showed that mycorhizal fungi are associated with the roots of tomato plants. They reduced the incidence rate of Fusarium disease by 50% (T3) and improved the growth of tomato seedlings (Super strain) which manifests itself by a vigorous root system and a very important development of the aerial parts. These results indicate that arbuscular mycorhizal fungi can effectively contribute to the ecological management of soil-borne fungal disease.

The present study was carried out to observe the influence of pre-harvest application of salicylic acid (1, 2 and 3 mM) on shelf life and quality attributes of ber fruits cv. Umran (Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.) under cold storage conditions (7.5±10C and 90–95% RH). The cold-stored fruits were assessed for various physico-chemical attributes and enzymatic activities at 7 days interval up to 28 days of storage. Above study revealed that fruits treated with salicylic acid @3 mM resulted in reduced physiological loss in fruit weight, spoilage and increased firmness, soluble solids content, antioxidant activity and carotenoids. Furthermore, it suppressed activities of cell wall degrading enzymes like PG, PPO, PME and increased the activity of superoxide dismutase peroxidase and catalase enzymes. It was concluded that pre-harvest spray of salicylic acid @3 mM was more effective in regulating enzymatic activities, thereby improving quality attributes and shelf life of ber fruits up to 21 days at cold storage.
Integrated pest and pollinator management in India: A way forward to sustainable agriculture
Authors: MUKHTAR YOUSRA , SHANKAR UMA
Published: September 2023

Pollinators play a vital role in sustaining both cultivated and wild plants, thus ensuring the well-being of humanity. Unfortunately, the indiscriminate methods employed in pest-management have a detrimental impact on beneficial fauna, especially pollinators. Taking into account the harmful effects of pesticides on pollinators and the lack of explicit consideration for their welfare in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, there is an urgent need to integrate pollinator management into the IPM programme. Incorporating pollinator management within the IPM framework is essential for maintaining the health of pollinators, preserving diverse pollinator species and achieving optimal crop yields with reduced pest-related issues- aspects that are often overlooked in conventionalpest management approaches. This transformation from IPM to IPPM (Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management) highlights the importance of selectively and judiciously employing pesticides and other pest control strategies that have minimal impact on the habits, habitats, reproductive capabilities, foraging behaviour, growth, development and survival of pollinators. Although the concept of IPPM was introduced by Biddinger and Rajote (2015), our focus lies in explaining its relevance within the Indian context. Here, IPPM is imperative for reducing pest populations below economically damaging thresholds while simultaneously enhancing and conserving pollinators. By achieving this delicate balance, the ecological equilibrium can be preserved, ensuring the continued existence of various species and sustainability of our ecosystem.

Published: September 2023

The study investigated teachers’ perception and effectiveness of various behavior modification techniques employed by teachers in treating maladaptive behaviors among pupils in basic schools in Ojo Local Government Education Authority (LGEA) of Lagos State. Mixed research methodologies such as focus group discussions, interviews and questionnaire were used to collect information from respondents. Population included teachers in selected schools in the LGEA. A sample size of 100 respondents was selected. In each of the five selected schools, twenty respondents were selected as samples. The stratified random sampling technique was used to select the respondents from different strata. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to test hypotheses. Results revealed that, there is significant relationship between male and female teachers’ perception in the use of behavior modification techniques in the classroom. This means that respondents have positive reactions to behavior modification and its effectiveness as counseling technique in reducing maladaptive behaviors among pupils in the study area. In addition, empirical analyses from our findings revealed that, commending a covetous pupil made him to start attending lessons, promising a covetous a joke any day he comes to school will encourage him/her to come often. This by implication showed significant negative relationship between material and non-material motivations and behavior modification among primary school pupils in the study area. Based on findings, the study recommends the employment of more counselors in basics schools to provide counseling services and supports to pupils and individuals in the school system that require psycho- emotional assistance
