O crescimento populacional acelerado, juntamente com o consumo excessivo de mercadorias, tem intensificado os problemas relacionados à contaminação ambiental. A indústria têxtil contribui significativamente para esse cenário, especialmente por meio do descarte inadequado de corantes orgânicos utilizados em seus processos de tingimento. Entre os corantes mais problemáticos está o azul de metileno, uma substância com estrutura aromática complexa e de difícil degradação. Quando liberado de forma inadequada em corpos hídricos, o azul de metileno reduz a transparência da água, bloqueando a entrada de luz solar, o que afeta a fotossíntese das plantas aquáticas e prejudica os ecossistemas, colocando em risco a saúde dos peixes e outros organismos aquáticos. Diversas técnicas de tratamento de efluentes têm sido desenvolvidas para mitigar esse impacto, sendo a adsorção uma das mais empregadas. No entanto, o uso de materiais adsorventes comerciais pode ser caro. Para reduzir custos, há um crescente interesse no uso de materiais alternativos, como biomassas de resíduos agroindustriais, que são acessíveis, abundantes e eficazes. Este estudo propõe investigar a eficiência das biomassas da vagem do feijão guandu e da casca de pequi como adsorventes alternativos no processo de remoção do azul de metileno de efluentes industriais.

Published: September 2024

Através deste artigo, procura-se, enquanto objetivo geral, entender e desmistificar a figura do chamado “louco infrator”. De forma específica, entender as formas de tratamento e como elas podem estar em alinhamento aos Direitos Humanos. Para isso, as hipóteses demonstradas foram com e através de políticas públicas, mas não apenas, entendendo também o papel fundamental da sociedade de forma geral neste processo. Destacam-se as alterações legislativas da Lei 10216/01, bem como os programas sociais voltados a este público, em especial a Rede de Atenção Psicossocial (RAP), que põe a internação destes como exceção, e não mais a regra, tendo a família como peça fundamental e explicitando os benefícios de um tratamento tendo a psiquiatria que vise o convívio social como centro. Aqui, não se exclui a possibilidade medicamentosa, mas coloca-se como acessória, não mais enquanto peça chave. Mostra caso emblemático para a mudança de chave a respeito disto no Brasil, e em como as condições cruéis e asilares que eram o padrão até o início do século contribuíram para um cenário de exclusão, tão presentes em outras enfermidades.

Published: September 2024

Nutrient imbalance is one of the prevalent problems in the semi-arid region. The study aimed to investigate the effects of sole and simultaneous application of nitrogen and sulfur on safflower yield in a semi-arid region. A field trial was designed to explore the combined use of sulfur (S0: control, S1 and S2: 25 and 50 kg ha-1 S via sulfur phosphate composites, S3 and S4=: 25 and 50 kg ha-1 of S via elemental sulfur, S5 and S6: 25 and 50 kg ha-1 of S via zinc sulfate) and nitrogen (0, 40 and 80 kg ha-1) on the growth and seed production of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in a west of Iran with mesic active calcixerepts soil that had medium to low fertility. The utilization of large amounts of nitrogen greatly increased the height of the first pod from the ground surface (P ≤ 0.05), and the highest amount was recorded in S 6+ N80 conditions (65%). Leaf chlorophyll content was significantly affected by nitrogen consumption (P ≤ 0.01) and the highest chlorophyll was recorded in S4, S5, and S6 treatments having high levels of nitrogen. A similar trend was observed for the canopy width and the application of nitrogen, zinc sulfate, and elemental sulfur could increase this component by 33%. The highest number of heads was achieved with the use of S5 + N80 and S2 + N80, which was 15% more compared to the control. The application S2 + N80 increased seed number in capitulum by 25% over the control. The application of S along with high levels of nitrogen improved the seed yield by 45% (1334 ± 78.35 kg ha-1). However, only the application of sulfur could improve the harvest index (P ≤ 0.05). The results indicated that applying moderate to high amounts of zinc sulfate and elemental sulfur, in combination with N80, enhanced safflower growth characteristics and improved seed yield components, likely due to synergistic interactions between the elements. Altogether the use of zinc sulfate or elemental sulfur as a logical and effective management solution can increase the efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer and improve nutritional balance.
Diskurser om att lära sig läsa och skriva som vuxen
Authors: Wedin Åsa
Published: September 2024

This article investigates discourses about basic literacy learning for adult second language learners in the program Swedish for Immigrants (SFI), study path one, which is for students with little or no prior schooling. The study has its theoretical basis in nexus analysis, which here means that literacy education is studied as a social act through these three discourses: discourses in place, historical bodies, and interaction order. These are investigated through the analysis and study of current policy documents, teacher interviews, and classroom observations.
      Current documents emphasize that the design of teaching programs should be functional. This corresponds with teachers’ views about how literacy education forms part of general education in Swedish and how it has clear ties with what students perceive they need on an everyday basis. At the same time, the shortcomings pointed out in audits and reports that look at procedures to adapt teaching to individual needs correspond with the findings of the observation and interview data in the present study. There is a clear need for improvement both in this area and in the teaching of the alphabet, which does not have a prominent place in current policy documents and which appears to be taught separately.
      Currently, knowledge about the early literacy development of adult second language learners is not a formal requirement in teacher education, and only one of the 24 teachers in this study claims to have such knowledge. Usually, the acquisition of knowledge about early literacy development is included in the training of primary school student teachers and is foremostly in the teaching of first language learners. This study, however, shows the need for increased knowledge about initial literacy development for adults as part of the professional development of SFI teachers.

AUTHORITARIAN IDEAS IN BRAZILIAN MILITARY THOUGHT: THE PRESENCE OF CONCEPTIONS FROM OLIVEIRA VIANNA AND ALBERTO TÔRRES IN JUAREZ TÁVORA
Authors: Fontana Felipe , Ferezin Carla Cristina Wrbieta
Published: September 2024

This article seeks to assess the impact of certain political-authoritarian ideas on Brazilian military thought. Given the scope of this subject, we will limit our analyses to the presence of the ideas of Alberto Tôrres and Oliveira Vianna in the thought of Juarez Távora, a unique figure in the political-military scene between the 1920s and 1960s. This activity will allow us to understand how certain conceptions of Tôrres and Vianna were read and reproduced by Távora, that is, whether they were literally used, whether they underwent inflections, or even, if changes are identified, what the reasons for such alterations were. Therefore, we will investigate how Vianna and Tôrres' perceptions of Brazil may have inspired the construction of a diagnosis and a prognosis for the Brazilian nation in Távora's intellectual trajectory. Furthermore, we will attribute great relevance to the situation, both to the historical context in which the ideas of Tôrres and Vianna were formed, and to the social and political moment in Brazil in which Távora produced his positions and, mainly, articulated them with the theories and readings of the two aforementioned authors.

This article examines the relationship between cognitive development and educational technologies, highlighting how the integration of these tools can significantly improve the teaching-learning process. Neuroscience has played a crucial role in offering a detailed understanding of cognitive processes, providing valuable support for the creation of more effective pedagogical practices adapted to the needs of students. Emerging educational technologies, such as augmented reality, virtual reality and artificial intelligence, have shown great potential to make learning more interactive, dynamic and personalized, meeting the particularities of each student. The literature review includes important contributions from renowned authors, such as Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky, who discuss the relevance of the environment and the use of technological tools in cognitive development, as well as other theorists who explore how these innovations can positively influence learning. The critical analysis of the article highlights both the opportunities and challenges of integrating these technologies, emphasizing the urgent need for continued training for teachers and the importance of creating learning environments that promote collaboration, interaction and student engagement.
CRIMINOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF FEMALE IMPRISONMENT FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING
Authors: Araújo Mayara Stéffany da Silva , da Silva Ivan Luiz Rufino
Published: September 2024

This article aims, as the proposed theme suggests, to analyze the crime of drug trafficking committed by women, critically verifying the conditioning factors of female criminality. The research question that guides this research is: what factors condition the entry of women into the practice of the crime of drug trafficking? Based on the question presented, the phenomenon of female criminality in drug trafficking was analyzed from a critical perspective, seeking to understand, through studies of marginal feminist criminology and theories that justify entry into criminal activity, the main motivations that influence women's entry into the crime in question. Once the research problem was overcome, alternatives capable of producing positive effects regarding the reduction of female incarceration for drug trafficking were sought, highlighting that decarceration measures present themselves as a possible solution to the problem, since the current prohibitionist drug policy is ineffective. Thus, to achieve the results obtained in this research, the following methodological techniques and procedures were used: i) bibliographic review in works of social sciences, criminal law and criminology, as well as authors who focus on women's relationships with crime from a feminist theoretical framework; ii) analysis of quantitative and qualitative data extracted from official bodies, paying attention to the limitations they present, since there is a great restriction of information.
WEAVING THE HARMONY OF CULTURES INTO THE INFINITE TAPESTRY OF MATHEMATICS
Authors: de Castro Raimundo Santos
Published: September 2024

This study explores Ethnomathematics as an innovative and transformative approach to teaching mathematics, highlighting its potential to promote inclusive and culturally relevant education. Ethnomathematics challenges the traditional view of mathematics as a neutral and universal science, proposing it as a cultural construct that reflects the practices, values, and needs of different social groups throughout history. By integrating students’ cultural realities into the school curriculum, this approach not only enriches mathematics education, making it more accessible and meaningful, but also serves as a catalyst for social inclusion and educational equity. Ethnomathematics promotes a dialogue between formal academic knowledge and diverse cultural practices, suggesting that mathematics education should be deeply contextualized and connected to students’ everyday experiences. This transforms mathematics education into something more relevant and engaging, while valuing and acknowledging the cultural traditions that shape students’ identities. This integration is seen as a form of social justice, as it challenges the hegemony of Western mathematical knowledge and values ​​the contributions of other cultures. To understand how Ethnomathematics can be effectively incorporated into the school curriculum, the study uses a rigorous bibliographical analysis, based on works by renowned authors such as Ubiratan D'Ambrósio, Milton Rosa, and Daniel Clark Orey. This detailed analysis allowed us to identify the main theoretical and practical contributions of Ethnomathematics, as well as highlight pedagogical strategies that value students' cultural traditions and adapt teaching materials for a more inclusive mathematics education. The study points to Ethnomathematics as a promising path for an education that respects and values ​​cultural diversity, promoting the development of critical and socially engaged citizens. This approach contributes to the construction of a more just and egalitarian society, where all forms of mathematical knowledge are recognized and celebrated.

EPISTEMOLOGY AND INSTRUMENTALIZATION OF INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES: AN ITINERARY ON SCIENCE, METHODOLOGY AND FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE IN RESEARCH
Authors: Carvalho Sheila Cibele Kruger , Pedrazzi Victoria Saviano , Nielsson Joice Graciele , Weiler Ana Luísa Dessoy , Bandeira Mariana Emília
Published: September 2024

The positivist and Cartesian influence on what we know today as science determines a compartmentalization of knowledge that can be an obstacle to studies of complex society. In this sense, interdisciplinary work is an option for the construction of knowledge that not only reflects reality, but also serves to build a better society. Interdisciplinarity, however, needs to be connected to a methodological rigor that guarantees the scientific nature of the knowledge constructed. In this sense, this article aims to outline a hypothetical-deductive theoretical itinerary regarding the multiple possibilities of interdisciplinary work, which involve overcoming the compartmentalization of knowledge constructed from an obsolete epistemology, towards a science with an objective perspective, which is illustrated by feminist studies.
SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES FOR INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF BREVICORYNE BRASSICAE IN CABBAGE CULTURE: ECOLOGICAL APPROACHES AND IMPACT ON BIOLOGICAL CONTROL IN MOZAMBIQUE
Authors: Augusto Detino Germano Saide , Cherene Guivi Jefu , Jeronimo Carlitos Rosário
Published: September 2024

Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) is a vegetable widely cultivated due to its nutritional and economic value, especially for small farmers. However, kale production faces significant challenges, mainly due to attacks by aphids (Brevicoryne brassicae), a pest that causes wilting and deformations in plants and acts as a virus vector. In regions such as Southern Africa, inadequate control of this pest has resulted in considerable losses in production, reaching 40% in Mozambique.The adult stage of Brevicoryne brassicae is the most damaging, especially affecting the cabbage crop during its vegetative phase, when the plants are most vulnerable. Effective management of this pest involves continuous monitoring and the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, which include cultural, biological and chemical methods. Applying these techniques in an integrated way, adapted to local conditions, can significantly reduce damage and improve agricultural productivity, promoting food security and sustainability for small Mozambican farmers.

Published: September 2024

Dehumanization is the deprivation of the qualities that distinguish people as human beings. It can be understood as the consequence of a rational, scientific model that moves away from human sensitivity. The meaning and essence of humanized care comes from the word “humanity” defined as sensitivity, compassion, kindness towards others. The person in charge of managing this care is the nursing staff, since their main focus in their activities is care in the care and provision of health services. A bibliographic study was carried out with the aim of reviewing the state of the art of humanized care in relation to the sociodemographic data of nursing students. To define the social and ethical responsibilities of nursing and explain the implications of humane care, a model is proposed that includes ten factors of care. These factors include the practice of kindness and equanimity, support for deep beliefs, the cultivation of spiritual practices, the development of authentic caring relationships, and the expression of feelings. In addition, emphasis is placed on the creative use of knowledge, the creation of healing environments, the attention to basic needs with deliberate awareness, and the willingness to address spiritual and existential dimensions. These principles underpin care as a way of inhabiting the world and developing projects that promote transcendence and interpersonal relationships in a cosmic context

Authors: Castillo-González William , López Sánchez Andrew Alberto , González-Argote Javier
Published: September 2024

In the current academic context, scientific production is key to the prestige and relevance of universities. The conversion of theses into academic articles represents a fundamental strategy to increase institutional visibility and contribute to the advancement of knowledge. However, many thesis works, despite their value, remain unpublished due to lack of experience in publication, lack of knowledge of the editorial process and limitations of time and resources. This article addresses the importance of thesis-to-article conversion workshops as an effective means to overcome these barriers, proposing the implementation of institutional programs that offer support in scientific writing, mentoring and resources, encouraging publication as a natural step in research. It is concluded that the adoption of these practices not only increases academic production, but also fosters a culture of excellence and continuity in university research.
Alcoholic Hepatitis: Diagnosis and Management Procedures
Authors: Mohajan Haradhan Kumar
Published: September 2024

Over alcoholic consumption for a long-time is the most common cause of alcoholic hepatitis (AH) that has significant short-term and long-term morbidity and mortality due to chronic liver disease. Alcoholic hepatitis is the most elaborate indicator of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). It is a devastating acute condition of the disease that needs early detection, diagnosis, and proper treatment. It is characterized by inflammation, fibrosis, and ultimately cirrhosis for the continual excessive drinking. It is an acute hepatic inflammation associated with an injury of the liver with the clinical syndrome of acute jaundice and coagulopathy. If it is not treated appropriately, may transform to life-threatening acute liver failure, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and liver cirrhosis. Complete alcohol abstinence is the cornerstone therapy for AH to decrease short-term mortality and most of the patients recover for at least six months after abstinence. This review paper tries to discuss the diagnosis and treatment procedures of the AH in brief for the benefit of the patients.

Tunisia in particular is experiencing an alarming rise in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes. Given that nurses are the first people involved in foot care and education for people with diabetes, it would be useful to carry out our work with a view to improving the quality of foot care for people with diabetes. This is an exhaustive descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study carried out between August 2023 and October 2023 in two university hospitals of Sousse and in the regional hospital of Gafsa. A total of 149 copies with valid answers were collected. In 62.4% of cases, the nurses surveyed reported that they did not have podiatrists working with them on their departments, 26.2% had podiatrists occasionally and 11.4% continuously. This proves that continuing training is essential in all areas of healthcare, to reinforce current knowledge.
The Change and Development of Female Images of Different Social Periods Reflected
Authors: Li Xiang
Published: September 2024

Before the emergence of deconstructivism, the idea of gender binary opposition occupied the mainstream of social thought. Female was regarded as second gender, attached to male who occupied social resources, and female’s subject consciousness was also weak. The proposal of deconstructivism broke this gender binary opposition, which belongs to the product of patriarchal society, female’s self-consciousness also gradually awakened. With the development of society through different eras, the changes of women’s status and thoughts in the real world are also accurately reflected in the literary works at that time. This paper takes the female images in three classic literary works in different social periods as the key point, including Tom Jones in classicism, Jane Eyre in Romanticism and O Pioneers! in Modernism. By analyzing the surface changes of these female images and the deep social reasons that promote such changes, this paper reflects the changes in social power structure and social resource distribution caused by the development of time and people’s ideological liberation, criticizes the imprisonment and oppression of women in the old society, and witnesses the gradual awakening of female consciousness and the birth of a relatively just society.

Furthermore, it discusses the broader cultural impact of these artworks, showing how they foster public dialogue and inspire community actions that address ongoing post-colonial challenges. This study underscores the power of visual art as a medium for social reflection and change, contributing significantly to both academic and cultural discussions about post-colonialism in Nigeria.
Combining and Defining Auteur Film and Film Auteurism
Authors: Niu Shengshuang
Published: September 2024

This paper provides a concise overview of the history of film as a dynamic visual medium, analyzing European cinema of the nineteenth century and Hollywood films of the 1930s and 1940s. It argues that early films cannot be classified as auteur films due to the lack of a systematic auteur theory guiding their creation. Furthermore, it highlights that although Alfred Hitchcock is widely recognized as the first auteur director of Hollywood cinema, his relationship with producers at the time was notably strained. The paper concludes that the concept of auteur film necessitates that the director is entirely responsible for the artistic achievements of the film and consistently reflects their worldview and philosophy of life in their work. Additionally, auteur theory serves as a logical framework for directors to create films and as a methodology for critics to retrospectively analyze a director’s creative style and interpret their films.
Blossoms Shanghai as a Carrier of Memory: The “Construction” and “Function” of Collective Memory
Authors: Zhang Zefan
Published: September 2024

Blossoms Shanghai meticulously depicts Shanghai in the 1990s, illustrating the construction and function of collective memory, revealing how memory is activated and reproduced in media. The series not only recreates the lifestyle details and social changes in Shanghai post-reform and opening-up but also constructs the audience’s collective imagination of the past through specific narrative techniques and visual styles, merging individual memory with collective memory to form a widely shared social framework. This process introduces the concepts of “memory glimmer” and “prosthetic memory,” deepening the understanding of the interaction between individual and collective memory. These concepts show how the triggering of details and the recreation of historical contexts enhance emotional resonance and memory activation among viewers. Simultaneously, Blossoms Shanghai demonstrates the function of collective memory in maintaining social stability and integration, reinforcing social identity and cultural empathy among viewers by presenting shared cultural heritage and regional characteristics. This is crucial for understanding the role of collective memory in shaping social identity and cultural continuity.
Comparisons and References: What Can Chinese and the US Prosecutors Learn from Each Other?
Authors: Lv Jiabo
Published: September 2024

With the rapid development of the economic society, prosecutors from both China and the United States have problems that troubles themselves. For Chinese prosecutors, they are in “the era of minor crimes” in social governance, and their power seems to be limited, making it difficult to make appropriate judgments regarding individual situations. For the US prosecutors, they are not trusted due to their wide discretion and are even seen as “Leviathans” in the criminal justice system. Through comparative research, it can be found that Chinese and the US prosecutors have a broad space for mutual learning and reference. China can moderately relax the restrictions on the discretion of prosecutors and establish pre-trial diversion plans to prevent minor criminals from being punished. The United States can reform its selection system by using fair exams to prevent prosecutors from being influenced by political tendencies, racism, and other factors, so that the prosecutors can exercise their power more focused and trusted.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of South Africa’s Prevention of Domestic Violence Act in Reducing Gender-Based Violence in Cape Town
Authors: Zulu Ayanda
Published: September 2024

This study evaluates the effectiveness of South Africa’s Prevention of Domestic Violence Act (PDVA) in reducing gender-based violence in Cape Town. The research examines the key provisions and objectives of the PDVA, its impact on reported cases of domestic violence, and the roles of law enforcement and community organizations in its implementation. Despite increased reporting and awareness following the Act’s introduction, significant challenges remain, including resource limitations, training gaps, and societal attitudes that hinder effective enforcement. The study identifies gaps in public awareness and societal support as critical barriers to the PDVA’s success, suggesting that legal reform alone is insufficient without broader social and institutional changes. Recommendations are made to enhance law enforcement capacity, improve community support mechanisms, and strengthen public education initiatives to achieve a more comprehensive and effective response to domestic violence.

The Emotional Outpour of Character Pieces in the Romantic Period
Authors: Shi Minqi
Published: September 2024

Romanticism, as a significant period in development of music, refers to the appearance of new deeper and more intimate musical compositions. Previously, absolute music concentrated on the formal structure of the particular piece taking its references from composers such as Bach and the Viennese school composers. In contrast, program music narrates stories or suggests imagery. Notable examples like Vivaldi’s ‘The Four Seasons’ and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 ‘Pastoral’ in F, Op. 68 foreshadowed the idea of program music. This paper will focus on the phenomenon of definite character pieces that depict certain moods, as composed by Schumann, Chopin, Rachmaninoff and others, and demonstrating how programmatic works serve the Romantic concern with individuality and emotional profoundness. Inclusion of various character pieces written by major composers, including Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Liszt, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, and Scriabin, will demonstrate how music was used to narrate complex emotional stories and their own experiences.

Published: September 2024

Young adults are prone to concerns about being evaluated as society places a heightened emphasis on appearance comparison. Frequency in anticipating how the bodies are being perceived in societal situations can increase body image concerns and anxiety. The purpose is to investigate the relationship between appearance comparison, social physique anxiety, fear of negative evaluation and personality traits among adults. 201 adults between the ages of 18 and 29 participated in the research. Participants were administered an upward and downward physical appearance comparison scale, a brief big5 personality inventory, a social physique anxiety Scale, and a brief fear of negative evaluation scale. A Pearson correlation study showed that social physique anxiety correlated negatively with agreeableness and positively with fear of negative evaluation, upward and downward appearance comparison, and upward appearance comparison. Multiple regression analysis was computed considering upward appearance comparison, agreeableness and fear of negative evaluation predicting social physique anxiety and downward appearance comparison, agreeableness and fear of negative evaluation predicting social physique anxiety. Findings of study revealed that fear of negative evaluation strongly predicted social physique anxiety and appearance comparison moderately predicted social physique anxiety. These findings imply that it is important to promote healthy social interactions and the development of positive body image.
