This study was aimed at adapting the MMPI questionnaire into Uzbek and studying the voice of patients with Parkinson's disease and syndrome. We examined 120 patients, 100 of whom were with PD and the remaining 20 were healthy. Upon completion and calculation of the VHI-uz questionnaire data, participants even with many years of experience of Parkinsonism syndrome found that voice and speech disorders in these patients were insignificant and the VHI-uz data did not have significant violations and corresponded to the norm. Therefore, special attention was paid to the study of complaints from patients with PD. And when they filled out the VHI-uz questionnaire, it was found that more than 50% of patients with Parkinson's disease and their relatives reported changes in their voice due to their disease and the relationship between the severity of the disease and the questionnaire (and its 3 domains: physical, functional and emotional) was established.

Authors: Netto Clóves Francisco Dourado , Medrado Lucas C. , Gama Giliarde Benavinuto Albuquerque Cavalcante V.R. N.
Published: October 2024

Esta pesquisa visa identificar de que forma as ações predatórias, podem impactar na aplicação e proteção dos princípios fundamentais do livre acesso à justiça e da dialeticidade. Objetiva-se com a pesquisa objetiva-se identificar de que forma as ações predatórias, podem impactar na razoável duração processo, provocando possíveis violações aos princípios da dialeticidade e do livre acesso à justiça, a partir de uma análise constitucional e processual do sistema jurídico brasileiro. A relevância deste tema para o campo jurídico surge do dilema da prestação jurisdicional eficiente e o desafio do controle das ações predatórias, uma vez que essa prática pode deturpar a função social do sistema judiciário, acarretando sobrecarga de processos e morosidade nas decisões. Assim, o trabalho pretende avaliar como o Tribunal de Justiça Estado do Tocantins interpreta e, por conseguinte, aplica os princípios constitucionais da dialeticidade e do livre acesso à justiça em casos envolvendo ações predatórias, por meio de um estudo crítico do Regimento Interno do Tribunal e da jurisprudência. Para isso, o método aplicado foi o teórico dedutivo e o caminho metodológico escolhido foi a pesquisa jurídica, recorrendo a pesquisa exploratória na literatura jurídica, legislação pátria e na jurisprudência, além de utilizar uma abordagem qualitativa. Como resultado da pesquisa, foram identificadas medidas adotadas pelo Poder Judiciário com o condão de prevenir e coibir as ações predatórias, sem, contudo, prejudicar o direito de ação (acesso à justiça), mediante a instalação Centros de Inteligência interligados no âmbito nacional. Essa iniciativa demonstra uma atuação assertiva do Poder Judiciário na gestão de demandas, contribuindo para a redução da sobrecarga processual, maior celeridade e preocupação com a segurança jurídica. Concluir-se, desse modo, que o combate às ações predatórias demanda um esforço coletivo do sistema justiça. Para isso, é imprescindível garantir uma comunicação eficiente e a uniformização de práticas entre os órgãos competentes, além de promover a conscientização dos operadores do direito sobre o uso responsável do direito de ação.

The approach to experiential learning by David Kolb and its influence on the development of professional competencies in leadership
Authors: Almeida Leandro Generoso de , Nascimento Lúcio Fábio Cassiano
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the application of David Kolb's experiential learning theory in the development of leadership competencies in corporate contexts, focusing on how different learning styles influence the effectiveness of training programs. The research analyzes the four learning styles identified by Kolb — divergent, assimilator, convergent, and accommodator — and evaluates their impact on the improvement of the skills of leaders in training. By adapting these styles to leadership training, the study demonstrates that recognizing individual learning preferences can lead to a more effective personalization of development programs. This personalization facilitates the updating of knowledge and the practical application of acquired competencies. The study highlights that considering the diverse learning tendencies of leaders provides a foundation for designing corporate training programs more tailored to specific skill development needs. Based on principles of cognitive and developmental psychology, Kolb's theory can offer a solid theoretical framework for building leadership training programs, promoting the development of professional competencies.

Published: October 2024

A crescente digitalização das políticas de assistência social justifica uma análise crítica sobre seus impactos nos processos de trabalho e no acesso a direitos sociais. Este estudo investiga os avanços, limitações e contradições decorrentes dessa transformação, com foco nos efeitos sobre a vida das pessoas em situação de vulnerabilidade social e no cotidiano dos assistentes sociais. A pesquisa combina revisão da literatura e análise documental, além de dados quantitativos para avaliar as mudanças trazidas pelas plataformas digitais no gerenciamento da política de assistência social brasileira. Os resultados apontam que a digitalização altera profundamente as rotinas de atendimento e intervenção, reformulando a atuação dos profissionais e mudando a forma de interação com os usuários. Esse processo pode criar barreiras no acesso aos programas para os grupos mais vulneráveis e comprometer o diagnóstico social e a formulação de intervenções mais personalizadas, em virtude do distanciamento imposto pelas tecnologias. Conclui-se que, embora a digitalização tenha potencial para agilizar processos, seu protagonismo reduz a dimensão relacional do trabalho social, priorizando uma lógica de registro e monitoramento digital. Isso enfraquece a capacidade de promoção de uma proteção social qualificada, ao concentrar-se em metas burocráticas em detrimento de um atendimento mais efetivo às necessidades da população vulnerável.

Water Drops
Authors: Salinas Cecilia
Published: October 2024

This article examines how individuals of diverse cultural backgrounds in Norway participate in anti-racist activism via social media. It investigates the nature of digital activism compared to traditional paradigms, highlighting the varied forms of engagement enabled by digital technology. Drawing on nine months of ethnographic fieldwork among individuals in the arts and cultural sector, it reveals how seemingly minor actions on social media can spark organized activism, unveiling the political activism inherent in daily life and social media practices. The article argues that individuals not identifying as political activists still contribute to political change through everyday social media activities, suggesting that contemporary activism can exist without activists. Introducing the metaphor of ‘water drops’ the article conceptualizes everyday politics as small contributions that may collectively shape meaningful change. Small acts can be merely drops in a vast ocean without major significance. However, if sustained over time, efforts across disparate online spaces can coalesce to challenge and subvert dominant social narratives regarding difference, racism, discrimination, and exclusion. Thus, contemporary activism can thrive with ordinary people who contribute to collective social transformation through digital and mundane interactions.

Authors: Magalhães Diego Ventura , Leal Leon Claudio Pinheiro , Ferreira Marilia Matos Monteiro Gonçalves
Published: October 2024

The article "Valorization of Ethnic-Cultural Identity: comparative analysis of experience reports during visits to quilombos in the states of Pará and Rio de Janeiro" analyzes visits to quilombola communities, comparing the realities of two states. In Pará, the quilombola communities of Perpétuo Socorro do Tauerá, São Raimundo do Taperú and Maripí face a lack of cultural appreciation, especially among the younger generations, who tend to reject or be unaware of their Afro-descendant heritage. On the other hand, the quilombo of São José da Serra, in Rio de Janeiro, shows a strong connection with Afro-Brazilian culture and identity, valuing traditions and memory. The research addresses the importance of educational actions in the quilombola communities of Pará to rescue and strengthen ethnic-cultural identity, proposing measures such as teacher training and the inclusion of practical activities based on Afro-Brazilian history and culture, following the National Curricular Guidelines. The technical visits carried out by pedagogy students allowed a detailed analysis of the cultural dynamics and challenges faced, highlighting the need for integration between school and community to rescue these traditions. It is suggested that strengthening relationships between younger and older generations, through discussion groups and cultural practices, could help reverse the process of denying Afro-Brazilian identity. The valorization of emotional intelligence in interpersonal relationships within the school is also highlighted as fundamental to the success of these initiatives, promoting a positive and respectful organizational climate.

Statistical analysis and machine learning models in Brazilian agricultural production: Temporal trends and productive efficiency over four decades (1980-2019)
Authors: Vasconcelos Eduardo Silva , da Silva Leandro Aureliano
Published: October 2024

The research presented here addresses agricultural production in Brazil over four decades, highlighting the importance of the sector for the country's economy and the need for advanced techniques for analysis and forecasting. Using data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the study assesses long-term trends and the productive efficiency of different crops between 1980 and 2019. The primary objectives include analyzing the total production of agricultural items, assessing the harvested area and the ratio of production to harvested area, in addition to identifying significant changes in the most produced items using the Pareto Chart and testing the normality of the data with the Shapiro-Wilk test. The methodology applied involves statistical and Machine Learning techniques, such as Random Forest and Support Vector Machines (SVM), to forecast agricultural production and identify complex patterns in historical data. The main results indicate robust growth in the production of items such as sugarcane and oilseeds, reflecting the expansion of agribusiness and the adoption of modern technologies. In contrast, cereal production showed significant fluctuations. The analysis of productive efficiency showed an increase in the ratio of production per harvested area, especially after 2000, attributable to improvements in agricultural practices and the use of advanced technologies. However, Machine Learning models presented limited predictive performance, with high MSE and negative R² values, highlighting the need for more robust approaches and the integration of additional data, such as climate information. These results highlight the importance of sustainable agricultural policies, continued investments in technology, and risk management strategies to promote sustainability and efficiency in the Brazilian agricultural sector in the long term.

Published: October 2024

Este estudio aborda la aplicación de modelos de Inteligencia Artificial (IA), más específicamente de bosque aleatorio, para la predicción de la producción y reserva de semillas en la agricultura brasileña. El objetivo principal es contribuir al avance en la gestión y planificación de recursos, una acción crítica para aumentar la eficiencia y sostenibilidad del sector. El trabajo se destaca por la importancia de entender el papel de la IA en la optimización de prácticas agrícolas, proporcionando un marco de referencia para investigaciones futuras en la intersección entre tecnologías de IA y agricultura. Metodológicamente, el estudio implementó un riguroso proceso de recolección y procesamiento de datos proporcionados por el Ministerio de Agricultura y Ganadería de Brasil, cubriendo las cosechas de 2016/2017 a 2023/2024. La limpieza de datos precedió a la transformación de las variables categóricas a través de la codificación one-hot y la subsiguiente división del conjunto de datos en un 80% para entrenamiento y un 20% para pruebas. Utilizando la biblioteca scikit-learn, se configuró y evaluó un modelo de bosque aleatorio, empleando técnicas de validación como la división entrenamiento/prueba y la validación cruzada, además de las métricas de error cuadrático medio (MSE) y coeficiente de determinación (R²) para medir la precisión y eficacia del modelo. Los resultados indican una correlación positiva moderada a fuerte entre las variables de tiempo y cantidad de semillas reservadas para ambos períodos de cultivo, Safra y Safrinha. Sin embargo, los análisis señalaron una variabilidad anual y una confianza diferenciada en las predicciones entre los períodos, sugiriendo la influencia de factores adicionales y la necesidad de modelos adaptativos. La concentración de la producción en pocas culturas fue identificada como un riesgo potencial, sugiriendo que la diversificación es clave para la resiliencia del sector. La capacidad de generalización del modelo fue evaluada, y el fenómeno de sobreajuste fue considerado una posibilidad ante las variaciones de precisión entre los datos de entrenamiento y prueba. Este estudio refuerza el potencial transformador que los modelos de IA, como el bosque aleatorio, poseen para la predicción y gestión agrícola, abriendo puertas para mejoras futuras y proporcionando subsidios valiosos para decisiones estratégicas basadas en datos en el sector agrícola.

Timber is a commodity produced in Brazil that is relevant in the economic scenario; however, its environmental impact, due to the expansion of exploration areas, has generated concern about deforestation and consequent environmental changes, especially in the Amazon region. In this investigation, three instrumental analytical methodologies were tested for the authentication of native timber from the Amazon based on its physical-chemical characterization. The combined use of spectrometric techniques such as X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), as well as analysis of organic compounds by Raman (ER) and Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy proved to be efficient for use in forensic metrology, providing data that can be used in the identification of native timber, composing an alternative methodology for monitoring the problems faced in the Amazon region (deforestation, burning and illegal invasions). In addition, the methodology established in this study can be applied to other regions of Brazil, which also produce this type of commodity and face the same problems.

Authors: Souza Ingridy Lorrany da Luz , de Melo Vitória Renata Gomes , Santos José Carlos Oliveira
Published: October 2024

The presence of women in science brings about a broad discussion on the topic. The diversity of this discussion is crucial to confront the paradigms that women should be exposed to casual and maternal activities, which have long faced significant barriers that limited their participation and recognition in scientific research. This historical inequality not only undermines women's potential, but also reduces the diversity of perspectives in science, which is fundamental to progress and innovation. In this context, academic outreach initiatives emerge as fundamental for contextualizing and elucidating relevant topics, with the purpose of influencing and attracting students to the field of science. This article explores the Tutorial Education Program (PET-Chemistry) of the Federal University of Campina, which, among its attributions, is dedicated to the development of outreach activities through the project "Diversifica PET". Employing an expository and dialogic approach, the activity "Diversifica PET" aims to foster scientific knowledge in the academic community through the outreach entitled "Women in Science". In this context, the extension prominently highlighted the crucial role of women in the scientific field, highlighting their contributions, advances and historical challenges. This approach not only underscores the importance of recognizing these trajectories, but also encourages students to reflect on the topic, enriching their understanding and encouraging them to engage with science.

Authors: Júnior Marcelo , Petri Sérgio Murilo
Published: October 2024

The knowledge of managers of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) about cash flow indicators and working capital management is crucial for the financial health of these organizations. The objective of the research is to analyze the perception of managers about cash flow indicators and working capital management and their influence on the financial health of the company. The research carried out is classified as qualitative and descriptive in nature, in which a questionnaire with objective questions was applied to identify and extract information about the level of knowledge of managers about cash flow indicators and working capital management. The results show that the interviewees recognize the importance of these indicators, but in practice, many do not use them or do so infrequently. This corroborates the finding of low adherence to cash flow and working capital management, two indicators that together are responsible for projecting and guaranteeing the future situation of the company's cash flow. The research becomes important due to the scope of a topic that is little explored, but of great relevance for the performance of managers. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to answer the research objective, with the understanding of the relevance and frequency of the use of cash flow and working capital management indicators. The understanding of managers in the Greater Florianópolis region in the state of Santa Catarina is notable, but they do not have the habit of using the two indicators in their management processes.

Among the various problems that Brazil currently faces, few have a social and human impact as significant as those related to natural phenomena and their negative consequences for society, especially geotechnical events and floods. In a country like Brazil, which suffers from a lack of urban planning and adequate investments in infrastructure to prevent this type of occurrence in various spheres, recurring tragedies accumulate year after year, always accompanied by the perception that they could have been avoided. On the other hand, the geosciences have been increasingly open to new geotechnologies. In this context, the present work presented new paths that offer useful resources to seek short to medium-term solutions, helping to overcome the various challenges related to this theme, both at the national, regional and municipal levels. Thus, the methodology related to geotechnologies and its various techniques was used, with emphasis on Fuzzy Logic, which was the main pillar of this study. In the end, the methodology adopted proved to be effective in pointing out the areas of greatest susceptibility to geotechnical problems and flooding, revealing great potential for future applications of greater complexity and scope.

This article seeks, based on a review of the institutional competencies of state public safety agencies, to relate these competencies to the propensity of each agency to be activated in the event of disasters. A survey of the legislation was carried out, especially of the public safety agencies of the State of Goiás, outlining their competencies from the provisions of the Federal Constitution, in addition to a brief bibliographic review on disaster response. In the treatment of the four state public safety institutions provided for in the Brazilian Constitution, it was evident that, due to its institutional competencies, the Military Fire Department is the agency most likely to be activated in response to disasters. Thus, it is possible to take a look at the institutions, including in the sense of formulating organizational policies aimed at providing care to professionals.

Cervicitis is an inflammation of the uterine cervix caused by sexually transmitted agents, predominantly Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. This condition is usually asymptomatic or sometimes manifests itself through nonspecific symptoms that may not attract the attention of those who are not properly trained to identify them. This lack of diagnosis is extremely problematic, since if left untreated, the patient may develop secondary complications such as PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) or other disorders such as endometritis, infertility and HIV, since the lower genital tract of women becomes much more susceptible to other infections. For this reason, this study sought to evaluate the level of knowledge of medical graduates (interns) from a private higher education institution in western Paraná regarding cervicitis, highlighting the importance of adequate and comprehensive medical training.
PROMETE HAREKETİ: ESARET ALTINDAKİ MİLLETLERİN SOVYETLER BİRLĞİNE KARŞI BAĞIMSIZLIK MÜCADELESİ

Promete Hareketi, Sovyetler Birliği’ne karşı mücadele eden mahkum milletlerin bağımsızlık kazanma ve Sovyetler Birliği’nin Milletler Cemiyeti'ne girmesini engellemek amacıyla kurulan ve adını efsanevi tanrı Promete’den (tüm esir ulusların özgürlük mücadelesinin sembolü) alan bir siyasi harekettir. Promete Hareketi’nin temel amacı, Sovyet hegemonyasına karşı koymak ve bölgedeki ulusların bağımsızlık mücadelelerini desteklemekti. Hareketin demokratik duruşu, üyeleri arasındaki farklı etnik ve siyasi grupların ortak bir hedef doğrultusunda birlikte çalışmasını sağlamaktı. İlk önce Polonya, Azerbaycan Halk Cumhuriyeti’nin lideri Mehmet Emin Resulzade (1884-1955) başkanlığında İstanbul merkezli bir birlik oluşturmak istedi. Bu girişimin amacı, Türkiye’nin desteğini sağlamaktı. Ancak siyasi olayların gelişimi, bu birlik düşüncesinin rotasını Avrupa’ya çevirdi ve Sovyet karşıtı Hareket Paris’te oluşturuldu. Paris ve Varşova, Promete Hareketi’nin ana merkezleriydi. Paris, önemli bir yayın merkezi olarak Kafkasya, Türkistan ve Ukrayna Halkları Dostluk Komitesi ile Fransa-Doğu örgütünün merkezi olarak hizmet vermekte idi. Promete Hareketi’nin Polonya tarafından desteklenmesi, hareketin etkinliğini artırmış, ancak uluslararası siyasetin dinamikleri ve güç dengelerindeki değişimler, hareketin etkisini ve sürdürülebilirliğini olumsuz etkilemiştir. Almanya ile Sovyetler Birliği arasında imzalanan Saldırmazlık Paktı (1939), akabinde Almanya tarafından Polonya'nın işgali, hareketin sona ermesine yol açtı. Promete Hareketi’nin faaliyetlerinin büyük bir kısmı konferanslar, toplantılar ve bilgilendirici etkinliklerden oluşmakta idi. Hareketin önemli bir parçasıysa Fransızca yayınlanan Prométhée (1926-1938), (1938’den itibaren La Revue de Prométhée (1938-40) adlandırıldı) dergisi idi. Dergi, 1926 Kasım’ında Paris’te yayımlanmaya başladı ve Kafkasya ve Ukrayna halklarının millî müdafaa organı olarak tanımlandı. Dergi, Türkistan aydınlarının da temsil edilmesi talebiyle genişledi. Bu şekilde, Promete Dergisi, çeşitli etnik grupları bir araya getiren ve bağımsızlık mücadelesine destek veren önemli bir platform haline geldi. Fakat uluslararası destekçilerin çıkarlarına dayalı politikaları ve dünya savaşlarının getirdiği değişimler, hareketin devamlılığını zorlaştırmış ve nihayetinde sona erdirmiştir. Çalışmada, Promete Hareketi’nin oluşturulması ve Sovyetler Birliği’ne karşı mahkum milletlerin birlikte mücadelesinin önemi ele alınmıştır.
