Authors: Ruwana Iftitah , Pratikto Pratikto , Sugiono Sugiono , Novareza Oyong
Published: September 2021

Color and light are the main factors in the car manufacturing industry, with not much research, conducted on this topic, related to employee physical comfort. The factor affecting employee work comfort is the color factor and lighting time in their workplace environment. Color is the light, reflected by an object, then interpreted by the eye based on the light that hits the object. The value of the color wavelength in the spectrum of 380 nm to780 nm impacts worker performance. Good lighting will affect whether or not the room’s light conditions affect the illumination’s value. A good working room condition will affect the physical comfort of employees. Employee physical comfort has developed in many previous studies. However, research on the configuration of colors and lighting in the manufacturing industry’s work environment is still underdeveloped. This research aims to measure and determine the impact of color and lighting at specific color wavelengths on the illumination value and the employee’s physical comfort. It starts with studying the color, light, human comfort, then examines the effect on the manufacturing industry employees’ performance in the wiring installation assembly industry. Color and light settings are proven essential to get better human comfort. Green color with a wavelength of 490 nm to 570 can increase the highest illuminate average lux value of 12.43 %. Yellow can increase the heart rate by 4.85 %, while green can reduce Diastole by 2.95 % and Systole by 1.29 %. Pupillary size changes L by 23.17 % and R by 21.43 %. The effect of green color and lighting time can increase the value of illumination and decrease heart rate, blood pressure, and pupil size so that it impacts the physical comfort of employees.

One of the promising methods for improving the uniformity of seed distribution in the soil is the control of the grain flow by guiding elements in the openers. This creates favorable conditions for the flight of seeds in the openers and when leaving them backwards, which equalizes the speed, in modulus, of seeds and the unit, improves the uniformity of their distribution in the soil.
The presence and parameters of the guiding elements of the openers was theoretically substantiated, which gave the development of the process of controlling the grain flow in the openers and at the exit from them by using the guiding elements.
Analytical expressions have been obtained to determine the characteristics of the movement of particles on various surfaces, which are recommended to be used for guides in the openers.
Experimental studies have shown that openers with guides reduce the coefficient of variation along the row by 20 ... 45% and have it 88 ... 98%, and in depth - 24 ... 27%.
On the basis of experiments, it is recommended that 3 ... 4 guides are recommended for front openers (arithmetic mean interval along the row 18.5 ... 23.5 mm, coefficient of variation 88 ... 98%).
The advantage of the experimental opener in the distribution of seeds by depth is due to the use of guide elements in combination with an improved soil shedding process. This eliminated the technological drawback - the formation of a sub-opener inclined surface (arithmetic mean interval 42 ... 37 mm, coefficient of variation 24 ... 27%).
For a double disc opener, an improved guide is recommended, the bottom edge of which protrudes 2 cm in front of the vertical diameter of the discs and is located at a distance of 9 cm from the reference plane. The arithmetic mean spacing along the row of this opener is 15 mm, the coefficient of variation is 106%.

Published: September 2021

The most commonly prescribed medication for autoimmune disorders is Azathioprine (AZA), which negatively affects renal function and tissue structure. The aim of this work was to measure the therapeutic impact of Zingiber officinale L. extract (ZOE) on improving the function and structure of AZA-induced renal damaged tissue.

Methods: 70 rats with a weight range of 200±10 g and an age of 95±5 days were chosen for this experimental study. The animals were grouped into seven groups of ten, with two groups receiving no treatment (control groups) and five groups receiving ZOE, AZA, “AZA + ZOE”, and normal saline. AZA was given intraperitoneally, and ZOE was given by gavage (i.e., nasogastric tube) for 21 days. Finally, urea, uric acid, creatinine parameters, and the diameter of some key or important parts of the kidney were measured in different animal groups.

Results: it was found that the use of AZA (50 mg/kg) increased serum urea and creatinine concentrations, blood uric acid in comparison to the group of control (P<0.05). Whereas injecting ZOE (200 mg/kg) induces a considerable decrease in the concentration of the compounds mentioned above as compared to control animals and animals given AZA (P<0.05). Furthermore, the findings revealed that AZA caused inflammation and kidney tissue destruction, while ZOE improved, restored, and recovered the affected kidney tissue.

Conclusion: according to the research findings, it can be decided that ZOE has a protective and therapeutic impact on kidney tissue owing to its strong antioxidant attributes and its ability to inhibit free radicals produced by azathioprine

Authors: Matviichuk Liudmyla , Karpiuk Iryna
Published: September 2021

The object of research is the processes of development of the hotel industry, as one of the most important elements of the tourist infrastructure of the regions. Let’s consider these processes using the example of the regions of Ukraine. One of the most problematic areas for the development of the hotel industry in the regions of Ukraine is the quality of hotel services and the condition of hotel rooms, which often do not meet international standards and norms. The number of business entities in the hotel business in Ukraine, in comparison with European countries, is also insignificant and during the period of large-scale events in the regions does not meet the demand for hotel services.
In the work, research methods were used, which made it possible to determine the problem areas of the development of the hotel industry in the regions of Ukraine and propose ways to solve them. For example, to determine the content of the definition of «quality of hotel services», let’s use the method of generalization and systematization, to analyze the state and development of the hotel industry in the regions of Ukraine, let’s use the analytical method, etc.
In the course of the study, a platform for the development of the hotel industry at the regional level was developed, taking into account the trends in the regional development of the hotel industry. This is due to the fact that the proposed process approach to the development of the studied processes has a number of advantages, in particular, the proposed software platform for the development of the hotel industry at the regional level provides for the choice of regional strategies for the development of the processes under study, taking into account the regional characteristics of the activities of hotel enterprises.
Thanks to this approach, it is possible for hotel enterprises in the regions to unite into hotel or tourist clusters, hospitality associations, etc., in accordance with the presence in Ukraine of regions of leaders and regions of outsiders in the development of the hotel industry. Accordingly, the results can be useful both for the regions of Ukraine and beyond its borders, for better understanding and management in the current conditions of the pandemic.
Substantiation of the conceptual basis and structure of state security as an object of public administration
Authors: Ievdokymov Viktor , Svirko Svitlana , Tarasova Tetiana
Published: September 2021

Тhe object of research is state security and its element-by-element structure in the context of the objective attention of public administration. A problematic aspect is the lack of clarity of interpretation of the main category and identification of components of state security, which slows down the formation of effective mechanisms of public administration in the field of state security, and thus reduces its effectiveness.
The study used methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, as well as decomposition, which allowed to clarify the definition of state security, its structure and provide a primary description of these components.
The definition of «state security» is formed. It is proposed to understand the state of protection of various vector interests of the state and the citizen, which ensures the effective functioning of all spheres, industries, institutional sectors, mechanisms, implementation of functions and powers of the state for their development. An important emphasis on this situation is its achievement in a changing environment, external and internal threats. The separation of the following types of components of state security with the corresponding content load is motivated: security of national administration; political security; economic security; military security; security of public and legal order; social and humanitarian security; information and communication security; resource and environmental security; technical and technogenic safety; international diplomatic security.
In comparison with the existing approaches, the applied unification terminological approach allows to emphasize quite concretely the content of concepts in the context of their «historical nature». In contrast to the existing approaches to the structure of state security, the presented segmentation of state security takes into account the domestic regulatory framework, global approaches to determining the objective attention of the state and its threats, current trends in civil society. Due to the implementation of the author’s proposals in practice, state security as an object of public administration acquires a clear systematics, which allows to form both scientifically sound mechanisms of the latter and new areas of research.
Study of the influence of the increased carbon content in electrodes on structure and properties of the welding seam during welding of 110G13 steel
Authors: Pashynskyi Volodymyr , Boyko Igor
Published: September 2021

The object of research is the effect of the carbon-forming component of coated electrodes for welding and surfacing of Gadfield steel (110G13L and analogs) on the structure and properties of the weld.
One of the most problematic areas in the welding and surfacing of high-carbon steel is the high irregularity of the rod and coating melting rates. Therefore, the non-melted part of the coating is literally poured into the weld pool, which leads to significant chemical and structural inhomogeneity of the welded metal. The main hypothesis of the study is the assumption that it is possible to increase the homogeneity of the deposited metal by changing the conditions for the transition of carbon from the electrode to the weld pool by using an electrode rod made of carbon steel.
In the course of the study, electrode rods with different carbon contents were used. With an increase in the carbon content in the composition of the electrode rod, the fluidity of the drops increased, which contributed to a decrease in the strength of the welding current without harm to the welding and technological characteristics. This allows to reduce the generation of heat in the base metal, that is an effective measure to prevent hot cracks in the weld metal and heat affected zone
Studies of the composition of the electrode metal droplets and the weld material showed that with an increase in the carbon content in the electrode rod from 0.08 % to 0.8 %, the carbon content in the droplets increases from 0.3 % to 0.97 %. The carbon content in the weld metal is 1.1 %. The assimilation of manganese by a drop increases with an increasing of coating and the droplet interaction time. A significant increasing in the rate of coating melting was obtained. This is due to the fact that the concomitant decrease in the content of graphite in the coating contributes to a decrease in the refractoriness of the electrode coating.
The use of high carbon steels for the manufacturing of electrode rods for welding and surfacing of Gadfield steel improves the properties of the welded metal and sanitary and hygienic parameters.

Authors: Zhurakhovska Liudmyla
Published: September 2021

The object of this research is the automation of the compliance matrix «Disciplines – Competences», which are the links between the list of compulsory and elective disciplines of the educational program according to the curriculum and the set of competencies of the graduate required by the Standard of higher education. The development of the educational program includes a combination of disciplines with «Program Learning Outcomes», which is listed in the Standard.
One of the most problematic places is time-consuming of the process of «drawing-up» the links from «General Competencies» (GC) and «Professional Competencies» (PC) of disciplines to «Program Learning Outcomes» (PO). This problem is considered on the basis of the Educational and Professional Program (OPP) «Financial Intermediation» Academic Degree «Master» specialty 072 «Finance, Banking and Insurance» in the field of science 07 «Management and Administration» of the Department of Banking of Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics (KNUTE, Ukraine).
The research methods are to use the design of relationships between logical elements («entities») of the data model (Entity-Relationship Model). To develop a compliance matrix «Disciplines – Competences» in the paper the author proposed a software application based on Excel (hereinafter «Application»), which allows to automate the construction of such links.
There is a significant reduction in the time-consuming of preparing educational programs by guarantors and support groups. This is due to the fact that the proposed application has a number of features of use, in particular automates the construction of matrices of correspondence «Discipline – Competence».
The method of automation of the compliance matrix «Disciplines – Competences» proposed in the research was successfully tested by the author in the development of educational and professional programs of KNUTE, namely «Financial Intermediation», «Management of Banking Business» and «Financial Brokerage». Thus, the application is universal and can be used by guarantors and support groups to build Compliance Matrices of the educational programs of other specializations and specialties.

The object of research is economic intelligence in the system of international economic relations. The paper presents the author's position on the objective conditions for the dynamic development of economic Intelligence. The authors reasonably substantive definition of the categories «economic intelligence» and «business intelligence» as such, which are synonymous categories. An objective factor in the intensive development of economic Intelligence is the demand of the world community for the development of the digital economy. The world's leading states have announced the transition to a digital economy. One of the most problematic areas of the digitalization process is the problem of training personnel capable of using software and hardware integrated into the world's Business Intelligence systems (BI systems). In the future, the authors see the elimination of this problem in the establishment of the training of intelligent, competent specialists. These specialists must have the ability to analyze information and select the best solutions. They must be ready to use the tools of the world's BI systems. Have all theoretical and practical skills that will enable them to make the right intellectual management decisions in the daily life of their companies.
In the course of the study, data from the analysis of a large range of scientific literature and WEB-resources related to the object of study were used. The authors propose a matrix chronological reflection of the evolutionary path of development of BI-systems in the international market of information services in the first twenty years of the XXI century. The authors compared evolutionary trends in the first and second decades of the 21st century. The comparative analysis indicated an increase in the intensity of the development of the world business intelligence market in the second decade. To prove the correctness of the results obtained, the authors cite digital data from world statistics, which testify in favor of the author's research. Thus, both the author's comparative qualitative analysis and the quantitative assessments of world analysts gave the same logical conclusion.

Authors: Ivanova Alisa V. , Smirnikhina Svetlana A. , Lavrov Alexander V.
Published: September 2021

Dysferlinopathies belong to a phenotypically heterogeneous group of neuromuscular diseases caused by mutations in the DYSF gene, which disrupt the expression of dysferlin protein in human skeletal muscle cells. These pathologies are of an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, their prevalence is 1: 200000. Dysferlinopathies include diseases such as Miyoshi myopathy with primary lesion of the distal fragments of the lower extremities and limb-gridle muscular dystrophy type 2B with primary lesion of the proximal fragments of both the lower and upper limbs, also distal myopathy with anterior tibial onset (DMAT). Nowdays, there are various pathogenetic and symptomatic treatments for hereditary muscular dystrophies but there are very few registered drugs for the etiological treatment of these diseases. This review discusses the main modern methods of gene therapy that can be used to treat dysferlinopathies, such as stop-codon passing, exon skipping, overexpression of other genes, gene transfer, splicosome-mediated trans-splicing, and also describes the latest experimental studies using these methods. In conclusion, exon-skipping and trans-splicing have been identified as the most optimal approaches in the treatment of muscular dystrophies, in particular dysferlinopathies.

Background. Great obstetric syndromes are pathological conditions, related to the level of maternal, perinatal and infant morbidity and mortality. There is a genetic component in the development of pregnancy complications, as evidenced by numerous clinical observations and research results. Purpose to study the frequency characteristics of the occurrence of polymorphic variants of various genes and their combinations in patients who underwent pregnancy complicated by great obstetric syndromes in comparison with women whose pregnancy proceeded without complications and successfully ended with the birth of a live full-term baby. Methods. A retrospective comparative cohort study was conducted. Molecular genetic research was carried out in 391 women: 279 women who underwent one of the verified clinical forms related to great obstetric syndromes (main group), 112 women were included in the control group. 37 polymorphisms in 33 genes were studied (FGB, F2, F5, F7, F13, GPIa, GPIIIa, GPVI, PROC, PAI1, PLAT, MTHFR, MTHFD, MTRR, MTR, SLC19A1, CBS, NOS3, END1, ACE, ADD1, AGT , CYP11B2, GSTM, GSTT, GSTP1, MnSOD, GPX1, IL1, TNF-a, ESR1, ESR2, PGR). Results. The most significant polymorphisms and their combinations were identified. In the main group, the following combinations were more common: ACE Alu I/D ID + AGT А704G GG, AGT А704G GG + MTRR A66G AG, F7 G10976A GG + AGT А704G GG, F7 G10976A GG + F13 G103A GG, F7 G10976A GG + GPIa С807T CC, F7 G10976A GG + MTHFR C677T CC, CYP11B2 G-344A GA + IL1 G+3953A GA, PAI1-657 5G/4G 5G4G + IL1 G+3953A AA, PAI1-657 5G/4G 4G4G + IL1 G+3953A AA, in control group AGT A704G AA + MTRR A66G AG, AGT A704G AG + MTRR A66G AG (the differences are statistically significant). To simplify the practical application of the analysis for genetic polymorphisms, a computer program named GOS RISK was created to assess the risk of pregnancy complications. The sensitivity and specificity were 70.8% and 78.8%, the efficiency of the method 74.8%. Conclusion. Analysis of individual polymorphic variants of genes indicates their role in the discussed pathology. Creation of computer programs based on multilocus genome analysis increases the predictive value of molecular genetic studies.

Authors: Asoskova Anastasiia V. , Sychev Dmitry А. , Kubanov Alexey A.
Published: September 2021

Methotrexate is a highly efficacious treatment for psoriasis, but the use of methotrexate may be limited by concerns regarding its adverse reactions. On average, 28.3 % of patients with psoriasis treated by methotrexate develop adverse reactions. The occurrence of adverse drug reactions in some cases leads to the therapy discontinuation, which may be accompanied by psoriasis exacerbation. The purpose of this article is to provide an extensive review of the methotrexate efficacy, safety and tolerability as well as provide a comprehensive understanding of methotrexate pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, methotrexate side effects pathogenesis, approaches to methotrexate safety monitoring, situations in which it is necessary to be vigilant when prescribing methotexate. We also outline current data concerning methotrexate molecular mechanism of action, including new data on its anti-inflammatory activity, that allow us to explain the pathogenesis of a number of adverse drug reactions, as well as discuss possible ways of predicting the methotrexate toxicity, especially focusing on recent advances in the field of pharmacogenetics of methotrexate-induced toxicity and personalized approach to psoriasis treatment.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral infection that, in severe course, leads to the development of a cytokine storm, systemic inflammatory response and coagulopathy. Unlike other sepsis-associated disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, COVID-19 induced coagulopathy is realized mainly in thrombosis. Researchers around the world are currently developing adequate diagnostic, monitoring and anticoagulant therapy approaches to safely and effectively manage patients with severe COVID-19. The need to develop laboratory monitoring is due to the fact that 20% of patients have changes in hemostasis indicators, while in patients with a severe form of the disease, they are present in 100% of cases. In case of deaths from COVID-19, there is an increase in the concentration of D-dimer and fibrinogen degradation products. Thus, the severity of hemostasis disorders has an important prognostic value. Anticoagulant therapy is included in the list of all recommendations as an effective means of reducing mortality from COVID-19. The questions of the recommended groups and doses of anticoagulant drugs are still open. The approach to the choice of an anticoagulant should be based not only on risk factors, characteristics of the course of the disease, anamnesis, but also on the wishes of the patient during long-term therapy at the post-hospital stage.

Abstract Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a tremendous threat to vegetables across the globe, including in Pakistan. The present work was conducted to investigate the genetic variability of CMV isolates infecting pea and spinach vegetables in the Pothwar region of Pakistan. Serological-based surveys during 2016-2017 revealed 31.70% overall CMV disease incidence from pea and spinach crops. Triple-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA) revealed that all the positive isolates belong to CMV subgroup II. Two selected cDNA from ELISA-positive samples representing each pea and spinach crops were PCR-amplified (ca.1100 bp) and sequenced corresponding to the CMV CP gene which shared 93.7% nucleotide identity with each other. Both the sequences of CMV pea (AAHAP) and spinach (AARS) isolates from Pakistan were submitted to GenBank as accession nos. MH119071 and MH119073, respectively. BLAST analysis revealed 93.4% sequence identity of AAHAP isolate with SpK (KC763473) from Iran while AARS isolate shared maximum identity (94.5%) with the strain 241 (AJ585519) from Australia and clustered with some reference isolates of CMV subgroup II from UK (Z12818) and USA (AF127976) in a Neighbour-joining phylogenetic reconstruction. A total of 59 polymorphic (segregating) sites (S) with nucleotide diversity (π) of 0.06218 was evident while no INDEL event was observed in Pakistani isolates. The evolutionary distance of Pakistani CMV isolates was recorded as 0.0657 with each other and 0.0574-0.2964 with other CMV isolates reported elsewhere in the world. A frequent gene flow (Fst = 0.30478 <0.33) was observed between Pakistani and earlier reported CMV isolates. In genetic differentiation analysis, the value of three permutation-based statistical tests viz; Z (84.3011), Snn (0.82456), and Ks* (4.04042) were non-significant. The statistical analysis revealed the values 2.02535, 0.01468, and 0.71862 of Tajima's D, Fu, & Li’s F* and D* respectively, demonstrating that the CMV population is under balancing selection.

Abstract Pheretima posthuma (Vaillant, 1868), a native earthworm of Pakistan and Southeast Asia, has wide utilization in vermicomposting and bioremediation process. In this study, P. posthuma coelomic fluid (PCF) and body paste (PBP) was evaluated as antibacterial agent against ampicillin (AMP) resistant five Gram positive and four Gram negative clinical isolates. The antibacterial effect of different doses (i.e. 25-100 µg/ml) of PCF and PBP along with AMP and azithromycin (AZM) (negative and positive controls, respectively) were observed through disc diffusion and micro-dilution methods. All nine clinical isolates were noticed as AMP resistant and AZM sensitive. Antibacterial effects of PCF and PBP were dose dependent and zone of inhibitions (ZI) against all clinical isolates were between 23.4 ± 0.92 to 0 ± 00 mm. The sensitivity profile of PCF and PBP against clinical isolates was noticed as 44.44 and 55.56%, respectively. Both PCF and PBP showed bacteriostatic (BTS) action against S. aureus, S. pyogenes, K. pneumonia, N. gonorrhoeae. Moreover, the cumulative BTS potential of PCF and PBP against all isolates was 66.67 and 55.56%, respectively. The MICs of PCF and PBP were ranged from 50-200 µg/ml against selected isolates. The bacterial growth curves indicated that PCF and PBP inhibited the growth of all isolates at their specific MIC concentrations. However, PBP has better antibacterial potential compared to PCF against selected isolates. Therefore, it is concluded that both PCF and PBP of P. posthuma possess antibacterial and BTS potential against ampicillin resistant clinical isolates. This organism might be considered as a second choice of antibacterial agents and can further be utilized in pharmaceutical industries for novel drug manufacturing by prospecting bioactive potential agents.
Movimentos e(m) desertos: as trilhas da existência entre quilombolas de Goiás
Authors: Perutti Daniela Carolina
Published: September 2021

Resumo Neste artigo, exploro as variações semânticas da noção de deserto e sua relação com movimento entre os quilombolas de Família Magalhães (Nova Roma, GO). O grupo é originário dos kalungas, negros escravizados em fuga que viviam, desde o século 17, escondidos pelos vales do rio Paranã. A dose de invisibilidade que a região lhes proporcionava foi essencial para garantir sua existência em liberdade. Se hoje a região é tida pelos munícipes como lugar de falta, um deserto em vias de desaparecer, os Magalhães fazem dela potência criativa. É sob a iminência do deserto que tais quilombolas percorrem suas trilhas, entrelaçam movimentos, se produzem continuamente enquanto povo “amigueiro”, cultivam relações de vizinhança, intervêm nas políticas públicas sobre suas terras. Cultivar relações de amizade é, por um lado, condição necessária para que saiam do deserto e, por outro, o deserto é necessário para manterem o seu modo ser.

Published: September 2021

Resumo Este artigo descreve os esforços de Leonor para garantir o abastecimento de água na ocupação popular onde vive. Seus esforços congregam a luta política dos ocupantes pelo direito de os pobres morarem no centro da cidade, a batalha das famílias para manterem os ritmos e a rotina de suas vidas diárias, e a guerra que envolve agentes do estado e do tráfico de drogas no cotidiano. O trabalho de Leonor está emaranhado ao trabalho coletivo de fazer a água circular nos 15 anos de existência da ocupação. Na primeira parte do texto, trago as ações dos moradores que transformaram um prédio abandonado em uma ocupação popular por meio da instalação, a regularização e a manutenção do abastecimento de água. Na segunda parte, apresento a batalha dos moradores nos interstícios dos poderes do estado e do tráfico de drogas em que a água potável estava no centro da disputa.

ABSTRACT: Brazil is the fourth largest exporter of pork worldwide, with its production concentrated in the Southern region of the country. To reduce the economic impacts and increase herd health, an efficient diagnosis of diseases is necessary. The frequency, seasonal, and annual distribution of diseases that affecting the swine nervous system in Southern Brazil were determined through a retrospective study conducted from 2008 to 2018. A total of 231 pigs were evaluated, and distributed in the following phases: suckling piglets, nursery, growing, finishing, and adults. Piglets in the nursery phase were the most affected with 58.01%. Infectious diseases accounted for 87.01% (201/231) of lesions in the nervous system. Bacterial meningitis was observed in 58.87% of cases, presenting an endemic distribution, and a propensity to occur in the months of autumn/winter. The highest number of cases of porcine circovirus-2 were observed in 2008 and 2009, with a subsequent decline. Porcine circovirus, salt poisoning, and brain abscesses exhibited no association between the seasonal occurrence and annual distribution. Salt poisoning was observed more frequently in the last years of this study. Both, non-suppurative encephalomyelitis and selenium toxicosis exhibited an association between their occurrence and seasonal distribution in, the months of winter, and summer, respectively.
Impactos de melhorias tecnológicas, organizacionais e de transporte sobre a competitividade da fruticultura irrigada no Ceará
Authors: Sousa Eliane Pinheiro de , Campos Antônio Carvalho
Published: September 2021

Resumo: Este trabalho avalia como melhorias tecnológicas, organizacionais e de infraestrutura de transporte podem contribuir para reduzir as diferenças de competitividade sobre os níveis de produção, renda e bem-estar dos fruticultores. Para esse fim, empregou-se um modelo aplicado de equilíbrio geral espacial. Os resultados das simulações de redução nos custos de transferência e mudança tecnológica indicaram acréscimos nas produções e reduções nos preços nas regiões beneficiadas, gerando ganhos de competitividade. Em todos os cenários analisados, os níveis de bem-estar acompanharam o sentido da alteração da renda, mas suas variações percentuais foram muito menores que as ocorridas com a renda, indicando que parcela considerável do crescimento da renda foi absorvida pela variação de preços.

Published: September 2021

Resumo O presente trabalho pretende apresentar parte do percurso teórico-metodológico adotado para se analisar a constelação discursiva em torno da mineração, segmento econômico marcado por contradições e conflitos, sobretudo após o rompimento de duas barragens de rejeitos de minério de ferro em Minas Gerais (Brasil), que causou a morte de quase trezentas pessoas e sérios danos sociais e ambientais. O trabalho integra a pesquisa “Disputa de sentidos em torno da mineração: marcas discursivas das organizações e das instâncias de vigilância civil” (PUC Minas/UFMG), que analisa o discurso e o contradiscurso dos principais atores envolvidos no segmento da mineração, nos níveis global e nacional/local. Abordamos neste trabalho a construção do quadro teórico-metodológico desenvolvido para análise da prática discursiva do International Council on Mining & Metals – ICMM, um dos principais atores internacionais da mineração, tomando como referência a Análise Crítica do Discurso, de Norman Fairclough (2001).
