CFD Comparative Study Between Different Forms of Solar Greenhouses and Orientation Effect
Authors: Aissa Mohammed , Boutelhig Azzedine
Published: April 2021

Only scarce studies that were adopted have considered two properties, the structure safety and energy, where the aero-dynamic and energetic phenomena were taken into account simultaneously in the agricultural greenhouses area. In fact, in this numerical study, the response of the greenhouse has been investigated in outside climate conditions, by considering the orientation relatively to the wind direction velocity and solar trajectory. A resolution of the physical problem combined between the thermal and dynamical fluid flow equations have been based on the Ansys Fluent software. The results showed that the difference between inside and outside air temperature of greenhouse has been strongly affected by the reorientation of the tunnel greenhouse structure, or by the design of the tunnel structure that was adopted in the dome and chapel shape. Moreover, the safety properties of greenhouse structure linked to the drag stress can be developed when based on the interaction fluid-structure analysis. In this view, a temperature profile evolution versus different heights inside greenhouse was highlighted. As well as like continues of our previous study of the drag evolution over tunnel design body proved by the results found in the literature will be compared with chapel and dome designs.

Mangrove ecosystem services, aside for the fisheries sector, also have ecosystem services in mitigating climate change as carbon sinks and storage. Musi river estuary located in Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra has the potential of mangrove forests as carbon reserves. The purpose of the study is to analyze the community structure, potential carbon stocks, and economic value of mangroves in the Musi River Estuary. Data were collected at five stations using the 100 m quadratic transect method vertically to the coastline. Data analysis was conducted based on the allometric equation for biomass information, carbon storage, and the economic value of carbon stores. Mangrove ecosystems in the Musi River estuary are Sonneratia alba, Nypa fruticans, Sonneratia casiolaris, and Rhizopora apiculata. Mangrove species that have important roles in the sustainability of ecosystems are Nypa fruticans and Sonneratia alba each with IVI of 145.6 and 101.28, respectively. Carbon storage of mangrove in the Musi river estuary is 107.34 tonC / ha and carbon dioxide absorption is 393.59 tCO2 / ha with a mangrove area of ± 5276 ha. The total estimated economic value of carbon generated from mangrove are Rp174.441.016.895 (free market) and Rp455.872.524.151 (CDM). Keywords: carbon, mangrove, Musi river estuary
The Importance and Limits of Experiential Psychotherapy
Authors: Sandu Antonio
Published: April 2021

Experiential therapy focuses on emotions - whether we are talking about negative emotions, such as anger, pain, shame - correlated with past experiences, but also emotions associated with success, self-esteem, or even responsibility. Unlocking already experienced emotions and their subjective experience is the central point of experiential therapy - whether we are talking about the experience of the immediate and the awareness of our own being, or we are talking about "frozen" experiences, to which we have no conscious access outside psychotherapeutic practices. It reconfigures our mental maps by generating behaviors that make sense only in correlation with the understanding of those emotions, that are present in the subconscious but of which we are unaware and are not effectively rationalized. The article aims to analyze the field of application and the therapeutic particularities of experiential psychotherapy as a form of existentialist-humanistic therapy, as well as the limits of the experiential paradigm in a postmodern context.
Review of the Volume “Bioethics in Crisis or the Crisis of Bioethics? An Anthropology of the Pandemic in the Medicalized Society”, Author: Antonio Sandu, Lumen Publishing House, 2020
Authors: Huidu Alexandra
Published: April 2021

The volume “Bioethics in crisis or a crisis of bioethics? An anthropology of the pandemic in the medicalized society”, authored by Antonio Sandu and published by Lumen Publishing House from Iasi, in 2020, is not at all what bioethicists might expect. It is more than they expected. It is a book that not only deals with traditional topics of bioethics, but also takes on new discussions, newly spawned by the current COVID-19 medical and social crisis. It is not only a book for bioethicists, be they philosophers or specialists in the medical field, but it is also an eye opener for sociologists and law specialists.

Published: April 2021

Sašo Dolenc, fizik in filozof, komunikator znanosti, pravi, da znanstveniki opravljajo (vsaj) štiri različne vrste intelektualnih opravil, ki so vse za družbo izjemno pomembne: (a) ustvarjajo nove ideje, (b) vrednotijo ideje, (c) vrednotijo strokovnjake, ki govorijo v imenu posamezne stroke ter (d) javno zagovarjajo in predstavljajo ideje, ki so sprejete v znanstveni skupnosti. Del projekta SAWE – Varni z znanostjo – v okviru Evropske noči raziskovalcev 2019 je bila tudi študija o podobi znanosti in raziskovalcev v Sloveniji. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 613 anketirancev. Rezultati so pokazali, da anketiranci slovenske raziskovalce dojemajo kot zelo koristne za družbo, usmerjene v prihodnost, odgovorne in prizadevne. Anketiranci ocenjujejo, da znanost v Sloveniji prispeva k razvoju Slovenije in je koristna družbi, čeprav več kot tretjina vprašanih meni, da gre za slabo plačan poklic. Več kot 75% vprašanih se strinja s trditvijo, da lahko znanost olajšala vsakdanje življenje. Avtorji zaključijo prispevek z razpravo o pomembnosti komuniciranja znanosti.

Authors: Lobnikar Branko , Zorić Sanja
Published: April 2021

Dostop do kakovostne zdravstvene oskrbe je posameznikova pravica, zato je zagotavljanje in krepitev kakovosti zdravstvene obravnave pomembno za vsako zdravstveno ustanovo. Kakovosti v zdravstvenem sistemu ne predstavljajo zgolj dejanja, si so opredeljena s certifikati ali zaukazana z zakonom, s standardi in protokoli, ampak jo opredeljuje tudi dobro počutje zdravstvenih delavcev na eni in pacientov na drugi strani. Namen prispevka je analizirati povezavo med zavzetostjo medicinskih sester in dejavniki, ki so povezani s krepitvijo kakovosti in varnosti za paciente. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 206 zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi v eni od splošnih bolnišnic v Sloveniji. V primerjavi z drugimi poklici so se zaposleni v zdravstveni negi izkazali za nadpovprečno zavzete, pri tem pa smo ugotovili, da pogostost uporabe orodij za kakovost dela zdravstvene nege statistično značilno in pozitivno korelira s samoučinkovitostjo, zavzetostjo in s pripravljenostjo za spremembe. Sklenemo lahko, da so ti koncepti med sabo močno povezani in soodvisni.

Authors: Maletić Damjan , Marques de Almeida Nuno , Komljenovic Dragan , Lovrenčić Viktor , Maletič Matjaž
Published: April 2021

The purpose of this paper is to explore the readiness of selected Slovenian companies to assimilate the complexities of Industry 4.0 requirements into their asset management practice, namely for the particular case of the predictive maintenance function. The survey was conducted to capture the extent to which companies address new technologies as well as to identify the current and future orientation towards their adoption in predictive maintenance activities. The results suggest that companies are aware of the benefits that can be attained with Industry 4.0 solutions. However, they still lack of clear vison and an implementation roadmap such solutions. Moreover, the majority of the companies in the sample are still in the early stages of predictive maintenance strategy maturity. Taking a wider perspective one can highlight the need to adopt organization-wide asset management approach to be able to effectively manage the transition towards digitalization by means of creating higher value for the organization.
Samozavedanje pri zavestnem vodenju
Authors: Marinčič Dejan , Marič Miha
Published: April 2021

Zavestno vodenje je poseben stil vodenja. Pri tem stilu vodenja se mora vodja v najčistejši obliki najprej zavedati sebe »svojega jaza«, šele nato lahko zavestno vodi. Vključiti mora popolno samozavedanje in ostati mora pristen. Zavestni vodja se ne osredotoča samo na sebe, vendar na organizacijo kot celoto. Njegova vizija mora segati daleč v prihodnost. Ko vodja na ta način začne pristopati k stvarem, ustvari zanesljivo in trdno zaupanje svojih sledilcev, ter pridobi razširjen vpliv. To visoko stopnjo zavesti in samozavedanja lahko dosežemo s prakso. Z vidika vodenja je zavest več kot to, da se zavedamo vsakodnevnih izzivov. V članku smo se osredotočili na eno od dimenzij pri zavestnem vodenju, to je samozavedanje in jo razčlenili na štiri komponente, to so: identiteta; vrednote; čustva – čustvena inteligenca in cilj ali motiv
Transformational Leadership and Job Satisfaction
Authors: Minten Alex
Published: April 2021

There has always been discussion about how transformational leadership influences empoyees` job satisfaction and by doing so positively influences their performance. It is the main goal of this paper to analyze the influence of transformational leadership on job satisfaction. The data used for the analysis was collected via standardized internet survey in German. In the survey two standardized questionnaires were used: The SAZ (Scale for measuring job satisfaction) and the LSA (Leadership Style Assistant). The results demonstrate a statistically significant correlation between transformational leadership and job satisfaction with a beta of 0.417 (p<.01). Next to the main finding, it can be shown, that the influence of transformational leadership on job satisfaction is stronger for male employees with higher education. It can be shown, that transformational leadership is a way to improve empoyees` job satisfaction although individual employees react different depending on gender and education. That can be explained by different expectations on leadership as well as the influence of leadership on work organization, flexibility and inspiration.

Examining Internal Environment for Corporate Entrepreneurship: Evidence from Serbian Public Sector
Authors: Rakićević Zoran , Rakićević Jovana , Balaž Bojan
Published: April 2021

In today’s fast-changing, turbulent and highly competitive business environment, internal entrepreneurship, i.e. intrapreneurship is seen as an instrument for established organizations to provide a fast response to new business challenges and opportunities. It is especially demanding and challenging to encourage intrapreneurship in the public sector organizations where, compared to the private sector, there is a much greater diversity of objectives to be fulfilled, as well as a greater conflict between profit and social responsibility; less flexibility in the decision-making process; and where financial incentives for improvements are much smaller. This paper examines the level of internal environment development for internal entrepreneurship in the public sector of the Republic of Serbia, as well as the differences in the tendency towards internal entrepreneurship among three categories of public organizational systems (public institutions, public administration, and public enterprises). For this purpose, Corporate Entrepreneurship Assessment Instrument (CEAI) developed by Kuratko, Hornsby, and Covin (2014) is used as a research tool developed for diagnosing organization’s internal environment for entrepreneurship through five dimensions: top management support, work discretion/autonomy, rewards/reinforcement, time availability, and organizational boundaries. The Survey sample covers 126 employees from Serbian public sector organizations.

Authors: Zanze Josip
Published: April 2021

The aim of this paper was to determine how radical and incremental innovations affect the business success of composite small shipbuilding in the Republic of Croatia. Composite small shipbuilding, with its innovation in the transition period immediately after the Patriotic War, experienced its pronounced boom, both through the number of new organizations and through the number of new models on the market. The boom of the composite small shipbuilding industry was marred by the economic crisis of 2008/9. by the loss of approximately 70% of the organizations active then. At the same time, the recovery process was underway with the announcement of new organizations, so today it can be said that next year will be the year of the resurgence of the composite small shipbuilding industry in Croatia.
What does the silent planet tell us? The analysis of selected philosophical themes found in Stanisław Lem’s Solaris
Authors: Grabarczyk Paweł
Published: April 2021

The paper analyses selected philosophical aspects of Stanisław Lem’s Solaris. I argue that there is an interesting similarity between the history of “Solarist studies” –the fictional scientific discipline depicted by Lem and cognitive science. I show that both disciplines go through similar stages as they try to describe their main subject (the planet Solaris and human consciousness respectively). In the further part of the paper, I focus on two problems identified in cognitive science that can be directly related to the themes found in Solaris: the problem of the detection of intelligence and the problem of the notion of mental representations. I finish the paper by looking at the mysterious guests that stalk the main protagonists and show that they can be understood as heuristic models that are taken into account in the theories of mind uploading.
Rice Bran Oil- A Silver Lining to Indian Edible Oil Economy: A Review
Authors: Kumar R. Mohan , . Yamanura , Boraiah B.
Published: April 2021

Edible oil is an integral part of everyday cooking, due to remarkable gain in vegetable oil consumption in India over the past few decades. Accomplishing edible oil requirement of the ever-growing population is a formidable task before the country. On the contrary, annual compound growth rate of major edible oilseeds in India is declining. This phenomenal disparity in demand and supply of vegetable oil in the country is tending to bother through profuse investment on overseas purchase. At this point of time, in order to meet on-growing demand of edible oil, rice bran oil can be the available option before the country. India being the major producer of rice, yields significant amount of bran which contain upto 24% edible grade superior quality vegetable oil. It essentially contains 48.48% oleic acid, 35.26% linoleic acid, 14.54% palmitic acid, 8.15% free fatty acid besides contain good number of antioxidants such as tocopherols, tocotrienols and oryzanol. Therefore, rice bran oil became the integral part of oil market in India and abroad. Inspite of its benefits, it has not been fully exploited. If its potentiality is harnessed completely, rice bran oil could emerge as silver lining of Indian edible oil economy.

Authors: Balasundaram B. , Thiruvenkadan A.K. , Murali N. , Muralidharan J. , Cauveri D. , Saravanan R.
Published: April 2021

The general practice of selection of dairy animals concentrating high milk production has unwanted consequences like occurrence of health problems and fertility issues. Functional traits, including health and fertility, have significant genetic association with production and reproduction performance traits. Functionally superior dairy cows are healthy and sustained producers of healthful food for calves and human consumption. Improvement in functional traits rises the economy of dairy farmers by reducing the cost of input. These facts emphasised the inclusion of functional traits along with other economically important traits in selection criteria for the improvement of dairy animals. Hence, most of the dairy advanced countries have included genetic evaluation of functional traits as a routine practice in their dairy cattle selection programmes. In India, comparatively limited works have been carried out on functional traits and it suggested exploring more on this area for further development of the dairy sector. This review details the importance of inclusion of functional traits in genetic evaluation of dairy cattle for overall development of the dairy industry.

Published: April 2021

Background: Apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinoma (AGASACA) is a highly malignant disease mostly invading regional lymph nodes at the time of disease diagnosis. Methods: Twenty- two cases of Apocrine gland anal sac adenocarcinoma (AGASACA) were treated during five years. Contrast radiography with Iohexol and Lipidol were carried out to detect primary anal sac mass and regional lymph node through indirect lymphography technique. For clinical staging, ultrasonography, fine-needle aspiration cytology, histopathology of both primary tumor mass and regional lymph node were performed. Closed anal Sacculectomy was performed as curative therapy for anal sac adenocarcinoma. Result: The median age and weight of dogs at presentation were 8.4 years and 20.9 kg, respectively. Diagnostic radiology, histopathology and biochemical assay confirm twenty-two cases of anal sac adenocarcinoma and medial iliac lymph node to be sentinel lymph node. Carcinoma was of unilateral occurrence in all the dogs. Four (18%) dogs had hypercalcemia and twelve (54%) had metastases to the regional lymph nodes with clinical signs of tenesmus or constipation, polyuria -polydipsia and anorexia. Apocrine gland Adenocarcinoma of anal sac was found to initially metastasize to the medial iliac lymph node. Survival times of dogs treated with the surgical procedure only (8 out of 22 dogs) were appreciably longer than the dogs with therapeutic only. Animals with metastasis to regional lymph nodes or lymphadenopathy had poor prognosis.

Background: Equine piroplasmosis (EP) is a tick-borne disease of horses caused by the intraerytrocytic protozoan parasites. The infected animals remain carriers of these blood parasites for long periods and spread the disease. The introduction of carrier animals into areas where competent tick vectors are prevalent can lead to an epizootic spread of the disease. Methods: Total 295 blood smears from diseased and healthy horses were examined and 295 serum samples were analyses by cELISA for the presence of antibodies against T. equi and B. caballi whereas 90 DNA samples from seropositive horses were screened by PCR for presence of parasite’s DNA. Result: In present study, 1.35% horses were found positive for T. equi by means of blood smear examination. Using c-ELISA, it was found that 03 (1.02%) horses had antibodies against B. caballi and 182 (61.69%) against T. equi, while none of the sample showed mixed reactions. Ninety (90) seropositivehorses screened for T. equi and B. caballi by PCR method, out of which, only Nine (09) horses werefound positive indicating an overall prevalence rate of T. equi was 10.00% by PCR. None ofthe horses found positive for B. caballi through blood smear examination and PCR method.
Teachers’ Opinions on the Philosophical Foundations of the Elementary Teaching Curriculums
Authors: ÖKSÜZ Büşra , ŞENTÜRK Şener
Published: April 2021

Education is a system that hands down cultural values and accumulated knowledge of societies to the next generations and that grows citizens in line with the structure of the society. In this system, such issues as purpose of education, how to educate individuals, what to teach and why, and upon which values the education system should be built are associated with the philosophy which form the basis of the education. Each society, therefore, designs their teaching curriculums according to their wishes as to “what kind of individuals societies grow”, and these programmes are updated in line with the information and technological developments as well as societal regulations. Further, there have also been several educational reforms in Turkey, and the philosophy of education has been clearly defined. However, the most important role in transmitting the educational philosophy of teaching curriculums to the next generations belongs to teachers who conduct activities through the curriculum with students. In this sense, the core purpose of this paper was to determine elementary school teachers’ opinions on the philosophical foundations of the teaching curriculums. Further, this study was to examine if there were statistically differences inb terms of the teachers’ socio-demographic characteristics such as gender, age, work experience, workplace, and educational background. A descriptive survey model was used in this study. The data were collected through “the Educational Philosophy Scale”, which includes such educational philosophies as perennialism, essentialism, progressivism, and reconstructionism. A total of 239 teachers from different branches teach in primary and elementary schools affiliated to Ministry of Education in Bayburt Province of Turkey were recruited in this study. The data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage mean, t-test and ANOVA. The results show that teachers have positive opinions on such educational philosophies as progressivism and reconsructionism. There were also statistically meaningful differences in terms of gender and age variables.

Realistic tendencies in M.N. Zagoskin’s comedies
Authors: Kushigina Svetlana K.
Published: April 2021

The work of M.N. Zagoskin, a famous novelist and playwright, is associated primarily with historical novels, which were kindly acclaimed by the most talented writers and critics of the 19th century. The perception of the author’s dramatic works was not unambiguous. The author was accused of excessive imitativeness, lack of originality in the images construction, the dialogues development. Analysis of the structure, ideological content, principles of creating characters in M.N. Zagoskin’s plays allows us to speak of the author as a comedian, one of the first to apply realistic principles in the plays’ creation. Such a revolutionary approach consisted mainly of creat-ing an images system: “positive” and “negative” characters in varying degrees, but still endowed with vices. M.N. Zagoskin was able to reflect in his comedies plots the often curiosity of the exist-ing order of things. The senselessness of the noble elite's existence was deduced by the playwright using the example of the characters popular at that time: both positive and negative characters are endowed with “fashionable” personality characteristics. The author shows that contemporary society is struck by the “disease” of imitativeness, and this could become the reason for the loss of national identity. The comedy legacy of M.N. Zagoskin does not lose its relevance, it is highly ap-preciated from the point of view of ideological content, innovation and patriotic pathos.
Ex-libris in the book culture of the Tambov governorate of the second half of the 19th – early 20th century
Authors: Zhitin Ruslan M. , Topilsky Aleksey G.
Published: April 2021

We analyze ex-libris of Tambov owners of the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries. The relevance of the research is due to the need to fill the historiographic gap in the study of private libraries of the pre-revolutionary Tambov region. The main source for the work is the collection of civil press books, stored in the Tambov Regional Universal Scientific Library named after A.S. Pushkin. The significance of this collection is determined by the personality of bibliophiles – outstanding statesmen and public figures of the Russian Empire. On their estates, they were able to accumulate huge collections, in terms of the variety of repertoire not inferior to the libraries of Feofan Prokopovich, D.M. Golitsyn, M.V. Lomonosov. The collections contain many ex-libris, reflecting the ownership of a particular edition. The study of the identified collections and their book signs formed the basis of the substantial conclusions of the publication. We analyze the main characteristics of the most common types of ex-libris, showing the transition from a heraldic sign to a plot-shaped one. Consideration of the graphic material of the region’s largest libraries (collections of S.D. Sheremetyev, L.A. Voeikov, A.K. Kugushev, A.N. Nortsov) allows us to talk about the rich book culture of the owners of manor libraries of the second half of the 19th – early 20th century, a variety of plots and artistic performance of the created ex-libris.

No período mais recente, o Estado tem orientado grande parte de suas políticas para a inclusão social, conclamando os diversos atores para a co-responsabilidade no enfrentamento das questões sociais. Nesse sentido, as universidades públicas recebem novas funções de co-responsabilização para com as questões sociais, funções estas atribuídas especialmente aos programas de Extensão Universitária, nas diversas áreas do conhecimento. Assim, discute-se a Extensão universitária na perspectiva das propostas curriculares dos Cursos de Geografia. O objeto de análise escolhido trata-se do curso de Geografia da Universidade Federal do Tocantins. Para o desenvolvimento desta análise apropriou-se de abordagem metodológica teórica e estratégia de pesquisa documental, a Política Nacional de Extensão (2018), o Plano de Desenvolvimento institucional PDI/UFT (2016-2020) e o Projeto Político de Geografia – PPC de (2009) e de (2019). Constatou-se a partir dessa análise que a extensão da Geografia da UFT, apresenta particularidades e generalidades com relação à relação ensino, pesquisa e extensão, trazendo a necessidade de adequações institucionais e de curso.
(RE)PENSANDO O TERRITÓRIO
Authors: Bezerra Israel Rodrigues , Silva Franco Gerlaine Cristina , Santos Fernandes Jefferson
Published: April 2021

O presente trabalho é resultado das discussões realizadas no componente curricular Espaço, Território, Paisagem e Região, cursado pelos autores no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia da Universidade Federal do Ceará. O texto centra-se, pois, em uma discussão epistêmica sobre o Território, um conceito de larga tradição na ciência geográfica. De natureza teórica, a pesquisa consistiu em revisão da literatura e análise crítica sobre o conceito de Território, bem como a tomada de estudos sobre o Poder, entendido como noção fundante para a compreensão do Território por meio das relações sociais espacializadas. O Território é visto como um conceito em movimento, sendo parte constituinte da renovação do pensamento geográfico. Nesta perspectiva, entende-se que a discussão sobre o Território está diretamente associada as questões contemporâneas acerca da organização e atuação do Estado, o desenvolvimento socioespacial e a o planejamento de políticas públicas. Não obstante a existência de uma vasta bibliografia sobre o assunto, o Território ainda se mostra como um tema persistente, e a sua compreensão é fundamental para aqueles que se preocupam em entender a dinâmica socioespacial do território brasileiro.

O principal objetivo é analisar os principais problemas das localidades. Para a análise requer a reconstrução dos aspectos de cunho econômico, político e ambientais onde acabam influenciando direta e indiretamente na organização socioespacial. Portanto, é relevante uma avaliação na parte estrutural externa e interna do Cristo Redentor e Parque das Águas no município de Araguaína- TO, bem como as condições econômicas e o bem estar da população.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DO ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA PARA OS ALUNOS DA EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS (EJA)
Authors: Souza Jefferson Silva de
Published: April 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir a importância do ensino de geografia para os alunos da Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA), propondo uma reflexão sobre a prática pedagógica dos professores de geografia, a atuação no ambiente escolar, a realidade dos discentes frente ao ato do ensino em sala de aula, os recursos metodológicos que são utilizados pelos docentes para despertar o interesse dos alunos pela disciplina de geografia, entre outras questões. A metodologia desenvolveu-se por meio de pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico, com abordagem qualitativa, através de estudos em documentos oficiais, sites e revistas, bem como em referenciais teóricos de autores que abordam o tema em questão. Assim, esse estudo revelou diversos fatores que ocorrem no contexto escolar, como, por exemplo, os aspectos que podem levar os discentes da Educação de Jovens e Adultos ao interesse pelo estudo da disciplina e as dificuldades encontradas tanto pelos professores quanto pelos alunos em relação ao processo de ensino e aprendizagem. Nesse contexto, destaca-se ainda a importância de uma prática de ensino de geografia que proporcione aos estudantes dessa modalidade, uma educação não somente em busca da escolarização, mas também para o exercício da cidadania.
VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA O DOCENTE EM UMA ESCOLA ESTADUAL DE ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL DA PEQUENA CIDADE DE LEÓPOLIS, NORTE DO PARANÁ

Published: April 2021

A violência tem encontrado terra fértil para se disseminar na sociedade brasileira tornando-se presente na realidade local e assumindo tipologias e formas diferentes. Assim, tem-se uma diferente mensuração da violência, inclusive no que tangencia o ambiente escolar. Além disso, os diversos tipos de violência ocorrem em diferentes contextos, âmbitos e escalas. No caso das pequenas cidades, os dados mostram-se mais preocupantes pela questão demográfica, pela pessoalização e pela sociabilidade. Este artigo aborda a violência no contexto escolar, especialmente contra o docente. Então, o objetivo principal é compreender a violência no ambiente escolar de uma escola estadual de ensino fundamental, a partir da percepção dos docentes, na pequena cidade de Leópolis, localizada no Norte Pioneiro do Estado do Paraná. A metodologia utilizada foi baseada em levantamento bibliográfico, levantamento de dados secundários acerca do município e da escola e aplicação de questionário nos docentes da escola. Os resultados sinalizaram que os docentes sofrem, diariamente, com a violência no ambiente escolar e que isso tem gerado síndromes e influenciado na saúde deles, causando desânimo, pânico, depressão e até mesmo a desistência da profissão. Portanto, observou-se que as escolas de pequenas cidades como espaços seguros têm se tornado uma realidade cada vez mais nostálgica.
CONSELHO ESTADUAL DE SEGURANÇA ALIMENTAR E NUTRICIONAL
Authors: Panda Aires Paulo Pedro
Published: April 2021

Este artigo busca analisar a gestão social e participação no Conselho Estadual de Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional (CONSEA-TO), como mecanismo para auxiliar na construção de políticas públicas para o Tocantins. Para tanto, realizou-se o estudo no period de um ano, de setembro de 2017 a setembro de 2018. O referencial teórico foi delineado a partir da contextualização histórica, da gestão social e cidadania participativa. Optou-se por um estudo qualitativo de caráter exploratório. Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram os conselheiros do CONSEA –TO e a coleta de informações foi realizada através da análise das atas. Os resultados apontam que o conselho não conseguiu interferir de forma satisfatoria ainda. Há uma destinação de verbas públicas, mas é prematuro afirmar a participação, mais há uma busca pela prática da gestão social mais eficaz.
“GEOFOTO”
Authors: Rodrigues de Brito Joao Vitor , Brito Eliseu Pereira de
Published: April 2021

Este texto traz uma abordagem sobre as GEOFOTOS. O foco são as paisagens de Araguaína na escala do tempo/espaço. Propôs-se examinar o uso das fotos paisagens do ontem por ser fonte de recordação e, de hoje, por permitir construir leituras espaciais. A foto paisagem é um recurso que pode ser utilizado para facilitar o processo de interpretação do espaço e suas paisagens. A metodologia da pesquisa foi: trabalho de campo com observação dos lugares, contemplação da paisagem, pesquisa em fotos de registro pessoais e públicas e análise de imagens de satélite. Ter uma visão geográfica de um determinado lugar "congelado" - geofotos podem tornar os dias mais agradáveis, na medida em que se admira sua beleza e se tem uma visão mais criativa da paisagem. Para tanto, GEOFOTOS constituem-se um recurso tanto viável quanto apreciado pelas pessoas. As imagens registram momentos dos lugares tornando-os importantes para a sociedade. Uma imagem é única, porém, seus aspectos físicos podem ter várias revelações, sentidos e entendimentos.
ANTROPOLOGIA DA MORTE
Authors: Alves de Oliveira Renato
Published: April 2021

Este artigo trata da antropologia da morte no horizonte teológico. Historicamente, ela foi definida como separação do corpo e da alma. Esta definição goza de uma insuficiência antropológica e existencial. A morte é um tema que pertence primeiramente à antropologia e posteriormente à escatologia. No campo antropológico, a morte é a possibilidade humana por excelência, goza de uma presença constante na vida e significa o fim do ser humano, na dimensão corpóreo-anímica, mundana e social. É a conclusão da condição peregrina, espaço- -temporal e histórica do ser humano. Trata-se de um evento irrepetível que o ser humano simultaneamente padece e assume. É o último ato da história da liberdade humana e pode ser vista como um evento que consagra a existência. Com a morte, a existência alcança definitividade. Serão apresentadas as mudanças e deslocamentos antropológicos da morte no horizonte teológico a partir da segunda metade do século XX.
Spatio-Temporal Interurban Regularities in the Global South
Authors: Prokop Bartosz , Friesen John
Published: April 2021

The reality of people’s lives has shifted from rural to urban areas, where an ever-increasing proportion of the world’s population lives. Providing infrastructure to serve these areas, especially in the Global South, is a key task of sustainable development. A deep understanding of the spatial arrangement and scales of these urban structures and their temporal evolution can help to develop innovative solutions to issues of energy, water, or transportation infrastructures. For this purpose, in this work we study the temporal evolution of urban built-up structures (Global Artificial Impervious Area) and population distributions (Global Human Settlement Population) in four regions of the Global South (Argentina, India, Egypt, and Nigeria). We qualitatively analyze regularity through the pair correlation function and subsequently identify typical scales within the different interurban systems. In doing so, we identify that especially the large settlement objects arrange themselves in a regular way and thus typical scales exist in urban systems. Thus, settlement objects are usually located about 20 to 40 km apart from each other. This information can be used to develop sustainable infrastructure concepts, for example for passenger transport between settlements.
Entropic Systems Biology: A Novel Thermodynamic Theory for the Modernization of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Authors: Nie Zilin , Nie Yanming
Published: April 2021

As a complementary and alternative medicine in the western countries for decades, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used for more than 2000 years in China. Because of the characteristics of the philosophical style and the unknown mechanism of action, TCM sometimes has been biasedly described as "fraught with pseudoscience". From the scientific basis of the systems biology, here we promoted a novel medical model called the entropic systems medicine which could be applied to scientize TCM in future. In entropic systems medicine, TCM and Western modern biomedicine target the different variables of the entropic system. For instance, while Western modern biomedicine directly targets the phenotypes and its SOCs of macrostates, TCM differently targets the microstates, entropy and entropic force to generate SOTFs gradually causing the differentiated syndromes to be slowly rearranged. The prerequisites to modernize TCM are the entropic systems biology having been well established so that the variables could be precisely monitored and mathematically calculated.

Intermittent claudication (IC) is the most common symptom of peripheral artery disease (PAD). IC affects the quality of life and results in marked exercise intolerance and limitation to daily activities with increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Exercise training is the first line of conservative management in PAD. However, patients with IC Patient cannot tolerate exercise because of leg discomfort induced by physical effort. This review will address alternative rehabilitation strategies to reduce exercise limitations and improve exercise tolerance in patients with IC.
