Հոդվածում ուսումնասիրվում է Հայաստանի հանրապետությունում տարածված մի հետաքրքիր երևույթ՝ գերեզմանների վրա շիշ, կերամիկա ջարդելու սովորույթը, որն ուղղակիորեն ներկայում կապված է նահատակների, այդ թվում՝ լենին- ստալինյան տեռորի զոհերի գերեզմանների սրբազնացման հետ, ինչպես նաև բնորոշ է հոգեհացի ծիսակատարությանը ՀՀ Սյունիքի մարզում և Արցախում: Քննության առնելով վերոնշյալ երևույթը՝ կարելի է եզրակացնել, որ գերեզմանների շուրջ և դրանց վրա շիշ, կերամիկա ջարդելու սովորույթը խորհրդանշում է որոշակի անցում, վերափոխում՝ սահմանային վիճակ այս ու անդրաշխարհի միջև: Այդ սովորույթն ունի հնագույն արմատներ ու թերևս զուտ հայկական երևույթ չէ, այլ բնորոշ է ողջ Մերձավոր Արևելքին: Հոգեհացի ժամանակ ներկայում ՀՀ-ում նման երևույթ կա Սյունիքում և Արցախում ։ ՀՀ այլ մարզերում շիշ և կերամիկա ջարդելու սովորույթը կիրառվում է նահատակների և սպանված մարդկանց գերեզմանների շուրջ և դրանց վրա:
During field research, we observed an interesting tradition, namely the breaking of glass bottles and ceramics on gravestones, which is directly linked to the sacralization of graves of martyrs, including victims of the terror under Lenin and Stalin. This tradition is also inherent in the memorial service ritual in Artsakh, and Syunik Region of the Republic of Armenia. Analyzing it, one can infer that the breaking of glass bottles and ceramics on and around tomb stones symbolizes a certain transition, transformation, a liminal state from the world of the living to the world of the dead. Probably, this tradition which has ancient roots is common not only among Armenians but also in the entire Middle East. In present-day Armenia, it observed in Artsakh and Syunik during memorial services, while in other provinces of Armenia, the ritual is performed on and around the gravestones of martyrs and people who were killed.
Во время полевых исследовательских работ мы заметили одно интересное явление: традицию разбивать на кладбищах стеклянную бутылку, керамику, что сейчас на прямую связано с сакрализацией могил мученников, в том числе и жертв ленино-сталинского террора. Это явление присуще и ритуалу поминок в Арцахе и Сюникском марзе республики Армения. Анализируя вышеуказанное явление, можно умозаключить, что традиция разбивания вокруг кладбищ и на кладбищах стеклянных бутылок, и керамики, символизирует некий переход, трансформацию, пограничное состояние – из мира живых в мир мертвых. Это традиция имеет древнейшие корни, и скорее всего не является локальным явлением, а присуще всему Ближнему Востоку. Сейчас в республике Армения такое явление было и есть в Арцахе и Сюнике, во время поминок, а в других провинциях Армении данное явление просматривается только на кладбищах мучеников и убитых людей.

Բնակչության լայն զանգվածների շրջանում գաղափարաքաղաքական ու մշակութային քարոզչություն իրականացնելու և կոմունիստական գաղափարներ արմատավորելու նպատակով Խորհրդային Հայաստանի իշխանությունները 1920 թ. դեկտեմբերից ձեռնամուխ եղան հանրապետությունում քաղաքական վերահսկողության հաստատմանը: Այդ նպատակով պետականացվեցին մշակութային հաստատությունները, տպարանները, երաժշտական գործիքները և այլն: Այնուհետև իշխանությունները քայլ առ քայլ գրաքննական հսկողություն սահմանեցին արվեստի բնագավառի նկատմամբ: Այդ հարցում լուսավորության ժողկոմատի քաղաքական լուսավորության գլխավոր վարչությունը համագործակցում էր ռազմական գործերի ժողկոմատի և Հայաստանի արտակարգ հանձնաժողովի (չեկա) հետ: Խորհըրդային Հայաստանում արվեստի գրաքննության սկզբնավորման փուլ է համարվում 1920 թ. դեկտեմբերից (Հայաստանի խորհրդայնացումից) մինչև 1923 թ. հունիսն ընկած ժամանակահատվածը, երբ կազմակերպվեց Հայաստանի գլավլիտը: Այդ ընթացքում առավելապես հաշվառվում էին ներկայացումները, թեև նաև արգելվում էին որոշ միջոցառումներ, ինչպես նաև երբեմն հաշվի չէր առնվում գրաքննությունը:
In order to carry out an ideological, political and cultural propaganda among broad masses of the population and spread communist ideas, the authorities of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Armenia (SSRA) introduced political control in the country republic in December 1920. To this end, cultural institutions, printing houses, musical instruments, etc. were nationalized, after which, the authorities gradually started censorial control over the sphere of art. In this process, the Head Office for Political Enlightenment of the People’s Commissariat for Education cooperated with the People’s Commissariat of Military Affairs and the Extraordinary Commission of Armenia (Cheka). The period from December 1920 (the sovietization of Armenia) to June 1923, when the Glavlit of Armenia was established, is considered the initial phase of art censorship in Soviet Armenia. During this period, performances were mostly recorded, and some events were even banned. However in some cases, censorship was ignored.
В целях проведения идеологической, политической и культурной пропаганды среди широких масс населения и распространения коммунистических идей власти Советской Социалистической Республики Армения (ССРА) с декабря 1920 года начали вводить в республике политический контроль. С этой целью были национализированы учреждения культуры, типографии, музыкальные инструменты и т. д. Затем власти постепенно ввели цензурный контроль над сферой искусства. В этом процессе Главполитпросвет наркомпроса ССРА сотрудничал с Наркоматом по военным делам и Чрезвычайной комиссией Армении (ЧК). Период с декабря 1920 (советизация Армении) по июнь 1923 года, когда был создан Главлит Армении, считается начальным этапом художественной цензуры в Советской Армении. В этот период выступления в основном ставились на учет, хотя были случаи, когда мероприятия запрещались и цензура не учитывалась.
Ethics-aware Software Architecture Design
Authors:   , Alidoosti Razieh
Published: March 2024

In contemporary society, ethics has permeated various fields, including the ever-expanding realm of software engineering. Software-intensive systems, deeply interwoven into our lives, hold the power to impact individuals and society, often giving rise to ethical issues. Understanding and addressing the ethical issues surrounding systems have thus become imperative. Dealing with these issues necessitates the integration of ethical aspects, encompassing a wide spectrum of human values, into the architecture design of software systems. This integration presents multifaceted challenges, as ethical aspects transcend straightforward rule adherence. The complexities of human values and the contextual nature of ethics complicate their incorporation into software design. This complexity necessitates a meticulous analysis of the intended purpose of systems, the relevant stakeholders, and their ethical concerns and values. Despite ongoing research in ethics and technology, the methods for identifying stakeholders, extracting ethical values, and translating them into design requirements remain elusive. This underlines the need for dedicated efforts to establish comprehensive practices that embed ethical values within software architecture design.

This thesis presents several contributions to SE ethics, encompassing various aspects. It establishes a thorough understanding of stakeholders and ethical values in software engineering, offering practical tools like a stakeholder map and a value model. Additionally, it delves into the ethical considerations of software architecture. Furthermore, it introduces a card-based game, aimed at enhancing the integration of ethical aspects into software architecture design. Lastly, the thesis evaluates proposed ethics-driven instruments (i.e., the stakeholder map and the value model) to assess their effectiveness in supporting ethical considerations, through a case study. These contributions collectively advance the discourse and practice of ethical considerations within the software engineering field.

VALSA E FOXTROTE: A MÚSICA ROMÂNTICA NA ÉPOCA DE OURO (1929-1945)
Authors: Smarçaro Júlio Cesar Caliman
Published: March 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo propor um olhar aprofundado sobre os principais gêneros de música romântica popular brasileira durante o período conhecido como “Época de Ouro”, que se estende de 1929 a 1945. Nesta fase, a valsa com letra e o fox-canção, ambos gêneros de origem estrangeira, foram os principais veículos da canção romântica no âmbito da música popular brasileira, tomando-se por régua o considerável número de gravações dedicadas aos dois estilos e também à inequívoca qualidade de algumas de suas canções, afora o peso que tiveram no repertório de artistas como Orlando Silva, Sílvio Caldas e Custódio Mesquita. Após a análise da bibliografia e discografia que cobre o período proposto, pôde-se verificar que nossos compositores, arranjadores e intérpretes foram capazes de criar um repertório com um alto grau de sofisticação e refinamento, fazendo com que esses gêneros adquirissem cores nacionais e ficassem eternizados como um dos melhores exemplos da nossa canção.

This research is related mainly to the study of the results on the development of digital literacy and digital empathy with micro-learning via activities on metaverse. The main concept of this study is based on the integration of micro-learning process with metaverse technology in order to encourage and provide learners with opportunities to create bodies of knowledge and engage in joint activities through the network system that can be accessed anywhere and anytime. The objectives of this research are (1) to synthesize the conceptual framework of the micro-learning via activities on metaverse, (2) to design the micro-learning process via activities on metaverse, and (3) to study the results of the development of digital literacy and digital empathy with the micro-learning via activities on metaverse. Thereby, this study relies on the pre-experimental research method with one-shot case study, in which the research participants are 30 undergraduate students of Pakse Teacher Training College, Lao People's Democratic Republic, who were derived by means of cluster sampling and well protected under the policy of confidentiality and anonymity. The research results show that (1) the students’ digital literacy and digital empathy, after learning with the micro-learning via activities on metaverse, are at very good level (mean = 43.20, SD = 2.35), and (2) the overall satisfaction towards the micro-learning via activities on metaverse is at high level (mean = 4.42, SD = 0.78). In reference to the above research results, it is evident that the micro-learning via activities on metaverse enables the students to quickly develop their digital literacy and digital empathy after receiving new experiences and new knowledge because the knowledge gained from the learning of this style is easy to remember and can be applied in an effective manner.
Women Directors: An Empirical Test of Critical Mass Hypothesis
Authors: Lawal Bello,
Published: March 2024

This paper offers integrated theoretical-based empirical evidence regarding the role of female directors in promoting corporate common good using resource dependency model built on critical mass hypothesis. Using panel regression involving 220 firm-year observations from 2011 to 2021, the paper empirically assesses the moderating impacts of diversity and social inclusion policy, and gender-based power separation in determining the direction of causality between composition of female directors and foreign capital importation by the top 20 commercial banks in Nigeria. With approximately 30 per cent female director representation in the sampled banks (i.e., optimal gender threshold), the paper offers support to critical mass hypothesis and validates intrinsic benefits of women in corporate boardroom. The empirical result shows that female director representation in boards with strong diversity and social inclusion policy and greater independent non-executive directors, is positively linked to resource dependency role of foreign capital importation. Diversity of power separation is found to be detrimental to such board tasks due to overwhelming tokenism effect that surrounds gender-based power delineation. These key findings are statistically significant and robust to a series of iterated sensitivity tests. In addition to offering emerging market contributions to the growing literature on critical mass theory application, findings from this study demonstrate the inherent value of combining multiple governance theories (such as resource dependency and critical mass models) and the dynamic research framework opportunities it offers for robust empirical testing.

Published: March 2024

The Kenyan government in 2023 unveiled a new funding model aimed at promoting affordable and equal access to higher education as well as breath life to public universities that would otherwise collapse due to financial challenges. Improvements in performance is seen through intrapreneurial strategies and that is the focus of this study. The unit of analysis was 20 public universities and the unit of observation was 400 participants. A combination of descriptive and explanatory research designs was used. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data; which was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics and content analysis. Multiple regression models were used to test the association between variables. The study found a statistically significant (β-0.620, p=0.000<0.05) and partially moderating influence of operating environment between intrapreneurial strategies and performance of public universities in Kenya. The study concluded that the operating environment moderates the relationship between intrapreneurial strategies and performance of public universities in Kenya. The study recommends that Vice-Chancellors of public universities should adopt innovativeness, pro-activeness, risk-taking and self-renewal intrapreneurial strategies with an awareness of the external and internal operating environment. as they have a significant and positive relationship with performance. The study also recommends that the Ministry of Education, Government of Kenya and relevant policy makers should institute reforms and organise forums that promote intrapreneurship adoption within the public universities to promote overall organisational performance.

Published: March 2024

Plastic wastes rise annually as a result of the growing demand for synthetic materials, which contributes to their manufacture. There are four main ways to recycle waste polymer, with thermal treatment for fuel being the most favorable to the environment. In this study, the thermal processing of plastic wastes was investigated with an anaerobic pyrolysis apparatus, and their thermal degradation was evaluated by using the thermogravimetric apparatus.Additionally, the elemental composition was determined by an elemental analyzer, n-alkanes were identified by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection/electron capture detector (GC-FID/ECD), and the hydrocarbons functional group was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). We pyrolyzed the most widely utilized polymers, including polypropylene (PP), low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), at temperatures as elevated as 500°C to obtain plastic pyrolysis oil (PPO). Then PPO was distilled into initial boiling point (IBP)-200°C (gasoline-like fuel), 200-350°C (diesel-like fuel), and over 350°C fraction (residue), and the technical features of each fraction were compared to the MNS 0217:2006 and MNS 6861:2020 standards. Diesel-like fuel (DLF) derived from LDPE consists of the n-alkane hydrocarbons with C8–C23 identified by flame ionization detection (FID) data; C10–C17 represented more than 80% of them.The hydrotreatment results revealed that the diesel-like fraction's nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) amounts could have reduced from 0.06% to 0.01% and from 0.78% to 0.29%, respectively. In conclusion, it could be done to generate a product with a more stable hydrocarbon content from plastic wastes for fuel.

Authors: Heisnam Lakeshwar , Singh Keshorjit , Laishram Prabhakar
Published: March 2024

This quantitative study examined the impact of leadership styles on the performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Manipur, India. Transformational, transactional, and passive avoidant leadership were measured as independent variables. Firm performance consisted of sales growth, return on investment (ROI), and growth in the number of employees over the past year. A sample of 197 SME leaders participated in the survey. Correlation and regression analyses tested the relationship between leadership styles and aspects of SME performance. Results demonstrated that transformational leadership had robust, significant positive associations with all three performance measures. Transactional leadership also positively predicted sales growth and ROI. In contrast, passive avoidant leadership could have been more inconsequential or mildly detrimental for SMEs. Together, the leadership styles accounted for 19-24% of variation in firm performance. The findings highlight the crucial role of engaged leadership approaches centred on inspiration, rewards, and modelling integrity for enabling Manipuri SMEs to thrive. Practical implications suggest integrating transformational leadership principles into local entrepreneurship training programs.

Authors: Sappaile Baso Intang , Nuridayanti Nuridayanti
Published: March 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of teaching methods and formal reasoning abilities on students' learning outcomes. The research employs a quantitative research method and utilizes simple linear regression analysis with the assistance of SPSS version 16. Regression is a statistical technique used to analyze the relationship between one or more independent variables and a dependent variable. The population and sample size for this study consist of 50 students. The results of the research lead to the conclusion that the simple linear regression test yields a Sig. value of 0.001 < 0.05. Based on decision-making principles, it can be inferred that X1 and X2 have a simultaneous impact on the variable Y. Therefore, it can be concluded that both the teaching method (X1) and formal reasoning (X2) have an influence on the students' learning outcomes (Y). This finding further strengthens previous research findings by employing a better methodology and a larger sample size, demonstrating that formal reasoning affects learning outcomes, although there are still other factors that influence learning outcomes, such as motivation, environment, and so on.

NAVIGATING CLEAN WATER CHALLENGES: ASSESSING STRATEGIES AND OUTCOMES IN BALI'S PAMSIMAS PROGRAM
Authors: Sukadana I Wayan , Saskara Ida Ayu Nyoman , Setyari Ni Putu Wiwin , Yasa I Gusti Wayan Murjana
Published: March 2024

Objective: This study investigates the impact of the Community-Based Drinking Water and Sanitation Provision Program (Pamsimas Program), implemented in Bali from 2017 to 2021, on improving access to clean drinking water and sanitation in rural communities.
 
Theoretical framework: It draws on the S-shape and Inverted L-shape curves to emphasize planned interventions and incentives, while the Theory of Change guides program evaluation by explaining how interventions lead to outcomes. Employing a five-stage results chain, the program focuses on inputs, activities, outputs, outcomes, and long-term impacts.
 
Method: Through a comprehensive analysis of the program's effectiveness, we employ a natural experiment approach using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) and Multinomial Ordered Logit/Probit regression. The study compares villages receiving Pamsimas interventions in 2019, 2020, and 2021 with non-intervention villages, employing data from the 2014, 2018, and 2021 Village Potential Census (Podes).
 
Results and conclusion: The findings reveal that Pamsimas significantly influences the choice of water sources and sanitation practices in beneficiary villages. The estimated marginal effects demonstrate a substantial improvement in water quality and sanitation in program-receiving villages compared to control villages. The paper concludes that the Pamsimas Program, by targeting easily achievable improvements, aligns with the pragmatic trend in development economics and provides valuable insights for future water and sanitation interventions.
 
Originality/value: The analysis, guided by the paradigm shift in development economics towards pragmatic and low-hanging fruit solutions, positions Pamsimas as an effective strategy despite not being as cost-effective as certain health programs.

Objective: The article studies the application of AI in the field of criminal justice. Since then, the article evaluates the feasibility and offers solutions and recommendations to ensure the right to a fair trial when applying AI to criminal justice in Vietnam.
 
Methods: To conduct research on the application of AI in criminal justice in Vietnam to ensure the right to a fair trial, the authors used traditional research methods of social science and legal science methods of analysis, synthesis, and case study to achieve the objective of the research.
 
Results: Artificial intelligence (AI) and its application, in general, are a matter of concern in social life in general and law in particular. The application of artificial intelligence in criminal justice to digitize the judicial field is being applied in many parts of the world such as the United States and European countries. Based on the theory of the order of justice before the law, the authors analyzed and assessed the impacts and effects of AI and found that the application of AI in criminal justice can negatively affect the right to a fair trial.
 
Conclusion: Through this study, we propose the following contents to effectively apply AI in Vietnamese criminal justice as follows: (i) The principle of the right to a fair trial must be respected when applying AI in decision-making; (ii) Enhancing the role of investigators, prosecutors, and judges in AI predictive decision-making; (iii) Building a database and AI system development agency in Vietnam; (iv) Upgrading technology infrastructure and databases at Criminal Justice Agencies; (v) Developing communication and training plan on technology and human rights content; (vi) Integrating the right to a fair trial systematically into every stage of the design, development, implementation, and ongoing monitoring of products, services, and systems using AI; (vi) Establishing the Department of AI Development and Use. In the future, the completion of the legal framework to ensure human rights under the influence of AI and legal issues on AI are issues that need to be further studied in Vietnam.

Znaczenie i rola pojęcia eros w kulturze starożytnej Grecjina przykładzie Dialogów nieerotycznych Platona
Authors: Kulesza Maciej
Published: March 2024

W okresie klasycznym starożytnej Grecji tematem refleksji filozoficznej był m.in. szczególny typ miłości, jakim jest eros (e ;rwj). W dziełach Platona możemy znaleźć syntezępoglądów występujących w tamtym czasie. Filozof podejmuje ten temat w sposób systematyczny w dwóch dialogach, tj. Uczcie i Fajdrosie, dlatego bywają one nazywane„dialogami erotycznymi”. Problematyka erosu jest obecna także w wielu z pozostałych dialogów, którym analogicznie przypisuje się nazwę „nieerotycznych”. Specyficzny kontekst występowania omawianego zagadnienia domagał się także naświetleniazjawiska pederastii (e ;rwj paidiko ,j), bez którego trudno właściwie zrozumieć podejmowaną poniżej problematykę. Przeanalizowanie pojęcia erosu w dziełach Platona,w których filozof nie zajmuje się nim w sposób bezpośredni, ma na celu ukazanie pełniejszego i bardziej zróżnicowanego znaczenia idei eros. Cel ten zostanie zrealizowanyprzez badanie praktycznego użycia leksemu, obecnego bardziej w narracji niż w rozważaniach systematycznych.

This article attempts to systematize information on Iran's cyber capabilities, both internal and external. The purpose of the article is to discuss the challenges to individual states and the international community as a whole posed by Iranian activities in the digital sphere. The question the author seeks to answer in the article is how Tehran uses the digital tools it possesses to implement its security strategy. The author used theoretical methods related to the analysis and criticism of available sources, such as reports of technology companies and research institutes, intelligence documents, and legal acts. She also used a case study method, which enabled it to examine specific cases of Iranian cyber activities to find answers to the question of the strategic importance of cyberspace for the Iranian government.
Magyarok a Francia Idegenlégióban : Kun László története
Authors: Biró Aurél
Published: March 2024

Kun László hazatérésekor tett kihallgatása alapján ismerjük meg gyermekkorát, Nyugatra szökésének indokait. Hogyan vált az idegenlégió katonájává, milyen laktanyákon keresztül vezetett útja Észak-Afrikába. Kiképzését követően hamarosan Indokínába vezényelték. Észak-Vietnam legveszélyesebb helyein szolgált. Bevetéseken nem sérült meg, de életben maradását mégis egy gyors orvosi beavatkozásnak köszönhette, mert vakbélgyulladással került kórházba. Szolgálata alatt tiszti iskolát végzett, érdemei elismeréseként több kitüntetést kapott, valamint többször előléptették. Leszerelése után csak három évre rá tért illegálisan haza. Kihallgatásakor számos magyar légióstársa nevét közölte. Életútjára 1958-ig találtunk adatokat.

Authors: Souza Angra Zulma Costa de , Silva William Gomes da , Resende Tatiana Carneiro de
Published: March 2024

A utilização excessiva de medicamentos é parte da cultura ocidental. Isso advém da ideia de que o sofrimento deve ser sanado a todo custo. Diante do exposto, a prática da polifarmácia torna-se uma solução eficaz e rápida para minimizar o sofrimento. As tecnologias médicas mais utilizadas são representadas pelos medicamentos. Nesse contexto, a população idosa constitui uma das faixas etárias mais medicalizadas da sociedade. Logo, o uso de múltiplos medicamentos contribui para o uso incorreto dos mesmos e para a ocorrência de desfechos negativos como interações medicamentosas, intoxicações.

A glomerulonefrose segmentar focal (GESF) é um distúrbio renal com presença expressiva de proteinúria (geralmente na faixa nefrótica) e dano glomerular, que afeta crianças e adultos. A constatação diagnóstica é feita por meio de biópsia renal, onde serão observadas alterações podocitárias. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em relatar o caso de uma paciente com diagnóstico de glomerulonefrose segmentar focal.  O relato de caso é de paciente do sexo feminino, 27 anos, branca, iniciou quadro de edema de extremidades de membros inferiores e urina espumosa. Os achados descritos às microscopias de luz e imunofluorescência caracterizam caso de GESF.  Após realização dos exames, a paciente começou a usar 40 mg/dia de furosemida e 20mg/dia de prednisona, além de sessão de pulsoterapia com metilprednisolona, com novo aumento de proteinúria de 24 horas, internações recorrentes e descompensação clínica em anasarca. Iniciou-se tratamento com ciclofosfamida alternada com metilprednisolona, com melhora da proteinúria desde então. Os corticoides são a opção de escolha para o tratamento de GESF, apesar de haver incerteza sobre os riscos e benefícios.  Nos casos de não remissão com a corticoterapia, opta-se pelo uso de ciclosporina associada a prednisona, que pode provocar uma remissão total em muitos pacientes. O mofetil micofelonato pode ser usado como alternativa nos não respondedores. Persistindo a resistência e com aumento de proteínas frequentes, é indicado o esquema com ciclofosfamida em associação com a prednisona e com constante acompanhamento. O uso dos inibidores da calcineurina, tem demonstrado efeitos positivos no tratamento da GESF. Até o presente momento não foi descrito ao certo os mecanismos envolvidos na GESF, fato que dificulta o tratamento desta patologia é crucial que trabalhos atuais e futuros examinem os indivíduos de forma abrangente para identificar as características dos que respondem e dos que não respondem ao tratamento da doença.

O setor sucroenergético de cana-de-açúcar contribui com vários produtos e subprodutos como combustível, açúcar e energia proveniente de fonte renovável, embora ainda cause impactos negativos ao meio ambiente. O projeto objetivou, principalmente, uma análise científica e tecnológica da gestão corporativa do setor sucroenergético de cana-de-açúcar face aos conceitos da sustentabilidade socioambiental por meio de pesquisa qualitativa como sendo uma metodologia de pesquisa não-estruturada, exploratória, descritiva, com dados secundários de empresas sucroenergéticas no município de Frutal-MG e relatórios de organizações representativas do setor e da literatura. Os resultados apontaram na direção do alinhamento de nível de práticas sustentáveis do setor e suas ações face à sustentabilidade socioambiental. As considerações resultantes das pesquisas demonstram que o setor, no seu processo decisório, está analisando suas práticas e ações de forma preventiva e não mais reativa por questões legais. Entretanto, muito ainda tem que ser melhorado quanto o assunto é a sustentabilidade socioambiental. A relevância do projeto se destaca, porque contribui na melhoria do processo decisório da gestão do setor sucroenergético de cana-de-açúcar, da comunidade rural e urbana, pesquisadores, do município e estado, haja vista que o estado possui parte da sua economia advinda desse setor.

Authors: Marvila Larissa Costa
Published: March 2024

O ensino religioso nas escolas, especialmente no Ensino Fundamental I, desempenha um papel significativo na formação cultural e na construção da identidade das crianças. Este estudo investiga a relação entre o ensino religioso e o desenvolvimento da identidade pessoal e coletiva dos alunos nessa etapa educacional. O objetivo geral é analisar como as práticas de ensino religioso influenciam a percepção de si e o respeito pela diversidade cultural e religiosa entre os estudantes. Especificamente, busca-se entender como o conteúdo religioso contribui para a formação da identidade, como ele afeta a inclusão e o respeito mútuo em um ambiente diversificado e qual é o impacto na autoestima e na visão de mundo das crianças. A pergunta central que norteia esta pesquisa é: "Como o ensino religioso no Ensino Fundamental I contribui para a construção da identidade das crianças e para a sua relação com a diversidade cultural e religiosa?". A metodologia adotada foi de natureza bibliográfica, com uma revisão sistemática de literatura que inclui estudos anteriores, teorias educacionais e documentos oficiais que abordam o ensino religioso e sua importância na educação básica. A análise focou na compreensão das diversas abordagens pedagógicas e na forma como elas podem influenciar positivamente a formação identitária dos alunos. Os resultados indicam que o ensino religioso, quando abordado de maneira inclusiva e reflexiva, promove a valorização da diversidade e o respeito mútuo, essenciais para a construção de uma identidade sólida e empática nas crianças. Conclui-se que esse componente curricular, ao estimular o diálogo e a reflexão sobre valores éticos e morais compartilhados entre diferentes tradições religiosas, contribui significativamente para o desenvolvimento pessoal e social dos alunos, preparando-os para participar de maneira mais consciente e harmoniosa em uma sociedade plural.

A humanização fundamenta-se no conceito de integridade do ser, levando a necessidade do acolhimento, convivência e experiência com o próximo, respeitando sua dignidade e reafirmando valores, preconizando a essência do cuidado como prática profissional. Neste contexto é fundamental que o paciente seja atendido em sua integralidade durante todo o tratamento clínico oncológico, para tanto é necessário levar em considerações múltiplos aspectos, como: físico, psicológico, social, econômico, cultural e espiritual, além de preconceitos e tabus concernentes ao câncer. Objetivos: Por essas questões, objetivamos discutir a humanização da assistência em oncologia nos serviços de saúde brasileiros. Métodos: Trata-se de uma síntese temática de estudos qualitativos, foi consultada a base de dados LILACS e o portal eletrônico Google Acadêmico, no qual selecionamos 10 estudos que ao serem analisados a partir da técnica de análise temática indutiva permitiram a construção dos resultados desta pesquisa. Resultados e Discussão: Há necessidade da humanização no processo de cuidar em oncologia, porém a literatura investigada demonstra apenas a preocupação acadêmica de enfermeiros sobre o tema demonstrando que a humanização é um componente muito mais presente no campo do discurso do que prático, e em situações específicas como na atenção paliativa e pediátrica. Conclusão: Acreditamos que há necessidade de sensibilizar a equipe multidisciplinar para o debate sobre o tema e ampliar a humanização não apenas como parte de um modelo teórico de atenção a saúde, mas como um elemento prático do cuidado.
