ABSTRACT Vermiculite mining residues, although of low solubility, contain nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium at concentrations that allow their agricultural use. Beneficial bacteria can increase the solubility of this waste and its efficiency. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of bio-inoculation of vermiculite residue, associated with cattle manure, on the release of nutrients and initial growth of maize. A completely randomized design was performed in a greenhouse with seven treatments and four replications. The treatments were: T1 - soil without fertilization; T2 - soil fertilized with soluble sources of nutrients (conventional fertilization); T3 - application of vermiculite residue (VR); T4 - VR enriched with cattle manure (CM); T5 - VR + CM with Bacillus subtilis; T6 - VR + CM + B. amyloliquefaciens, and T7 - VR + CM +B. subtilis + B. amyloliquefaciens). Regardless of the use of cattle manure or beneficial microorganisms, vermiculite mining waste increased the availability of Ca and K in the soil, but was not able to match the soluble sources of nutrients. Mining waste associated with cattle manure and beneficial microorganisms (B. subtilis and B. amyloliquefaciens) increased microbial activity and enhanced the release of available calcium for maize. VR increased the growth and the dry mass production of maize compared to the non-fertilized soil, but was consistently inferior to conventional fertilizer.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand interconnected influences on adolescents’ intended pregnancy based on particularities of the affective-relational sphere with partners. Method: this is a qualitative-interpretive study, carried out with 16 pregnant adolescents living in a neighborhood with a low socioeconomic level in a capital in the center-west of Brazil. Data were collected in 2019 through in-depth interviews, with complementary use of self-portrait, relational map and photo-elicitation resources, subjected to thematic content analysis. Results: adolescents’ intention-action towards becoming pregnant was based on status assessment and romantic relationship quality with their partners in terms of marriage/union, bond-commitment, partnership-financial protection and good interaction-love. They expressed needs for emotional bonding and material security, psychological particularities of their stage of development, in addition to social representations built on the conjugal and loving relationship and being a man and a woman in the family. Connectedly, it reflected on social conditions and family relationships experienced as well as absorptions of the cultural ideal of romantic and gender love. Conclusion: in adolescents’ reproductive health, it is essential to consider the affective influences on being pregnant, without detaching them from their social and family insertions as well as their ways of exercising agency over their affective-sexual trajectories.

ABSTRACT Objective: to develop and validate a digital platform for managing special immunobiologicals in Primary Health Care. Method: this is a methodological study, carried out in Campinas/SP, Brazil. The platform development took place between July and December 2021. Between April and October 2022, simulation and validity were carried out by professionals, applying an instrument containing statements referring to the ISO/IEC 25010 standard characteristics and sub-characteristics, judged as in agreement, disagreement or does not apply. Values of characteristics and subcharacteristics were estimated, considering the minimum value of 70% of positive answers to be adequate. Characteristics and subcharacteristics that did not reach the minimum value had their justifications categorized according to changes made. Results: the platform was called ConectAPS-CRIE. Login, Home Dashboard, Users, Units, Immunobiological, Patients, Requests, Reports and Help areas were developed. When validated by nurses, the Accessibility (66.7%) and Protection Against Error (66.7%) subcharacteristics were considered inadequate. Information technology professionals considered the Reliability characteristic (52.8%) and the Functional correctness (69.2%), Accessibility (37.5%), Error protection (40%), Integrity (59.1%) and Non-repudiation (66.7%) sub-characteristics to be inadequate. The categories of justifications reported and changed were: disappearance of patients’ record when changing it; access to the system using only a password; lack of accessibility characteristics; lack of validity of personal data; exclusion of patients with a registered request; inclusion of a request without patient registration; layout and text message adjustment in the Attach File function; request disconnected from the requesting user’s unit. Conclusion: the platform can facilitate the management of requests for special immunobiologicals in Primary Care and its validity has allowed it to be improved.

SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION ASSESSMENT IN A COMPUTER SCIENCE DEPARTMENT: A CASE STUDY
Authors: Backes André Ricardo
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT Bibliometric evaluation is a crucial research topic that finds various applications ranging from faculty productivity evaluation and assessing researcher career trajectory to analyzing trends and emerging themes in a research area. This study examined the CVs of 36 researchers and professors from a Brazilian university’s computer science faculty. The publication data obtained from Plataforma Lattes, an online repository of Brazilian researchers' CVs, was used. The objective of this study was to evaluate the productivity of each professor in quantity and quality, over a period of five years, along with analyzing the co-authorship network. In addition, the study examined the correlation between researcher's productivity and the Research Productivity Grants (Bolsas de Produtividade em Pesquisa - PQ grant) since the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) considers the professor's curriculum as one of the criteria for granting the grant.

Decision-Making under Stress: The Hiding behind a Small Cake Effect
Authors: Nogas Erika Mirian , Póvoa Angela Cristiane Santos , Pech Wesley
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: we analyzed decision-making under stress by manipulating salivary cortisol levels. Theoretical background: literature dedicated to the relationship between stress and decision-making is still inconclusive. Studies have found that when dealing with stressful decisions, people will respond with a greater propensity for opportunistic behavior. However, stress might also decrease the potential for deception when the decision requires strategic/analytical responses. Method: we implemented a laboratory experiment using the ultimatum game with asymmetric information, in which only the first mover was fully informed about the size of the endowment. Our experiment compared the decisions of subjects who received a stress stimulus from an adapted Trier social stress test for groups (TSST-G) protocol with a control group. Results: we found that under stress, proposers transferred more to responders. In contrast, non-stressed players were more likely to take advantage of information asymmetry by choosing lower strategic offers, which is consistent with the so-called ‘hide behind a small cake’ effect. Regression analysis also indicated that larger offers are not necessarily associated with increased prosocial motives since stressed proposers became more confident about the responder’s ability to guess the true endowment, which decreased their incentive to take advantage of the aforementioned effect. Conclusions: one possible effect of stress could be an increase in risk perception, decreasing the ability to make strategic decisions. The stressful condition might have rendered our participants less capable of realizing the ‘hide behind a small cake’ potential of the game, leading them to make more conservative offers when compared to the control group.
A Critical Look at the Practice of Literature Review
Authors: Bispo Marcelo de Souza
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT Despite the advantages of literature review and the abundance of texts that discuss it, there is still a gap in critical reflection on its methodologies and uses. My goal in this editorial is to reflect on the practice of literature review in the administration field from a critical perspective. The literature review I am referring to is not just a set of techniques for conducting it; it is a collective doing among scholars, producing specific knowledge. By drawing on concepts such as fad, methodologism, and decolonial critique, we can conclude that contrary to the common belief among researchers, following rigid protocols in literature review does not necessarily lead to new knowledge. Instead, it reproduces pre-existing ways of thinking about a topic, which can inhibit reflective and critical thinking about research findings.
Um Olhar Crítico sobre a Prática de Revisão de Literatura
Authors: Bispo Marcelo de Souza
Published: December 2023

RESUMO Apesar das evidentes vantagens da revisão de literatura e dos muitos textos que tratam sobre o tema, ainda faltam reflexões críticas sobre as formas de fazê-la e os seus usos. O meu objetivo neste editorial é apresentar uma reflexão crítica sobre a prática da revisão de literatura no campo científico da administração. A revisão de literatura de que estou tratando aqui não se resume apenas a um conjunto de técnicas de como fazê-la, mas ao que implica esse fazer coletivo entre acadêmicos que leva ao surgimento de um conhecimento próprio que envolve a sua prática. A partir das noções de modismo, metodologismo e uma crítica decolonial, é possível concluir que ao contrário do que muitos pesquisadores dizem, fazer revisão de literatura sob protocolos muitos rígidos, ao invés de oportunizar novos conhecimentos, termina reproduzindo modos de pensar sobre um determinado tema e inibe o pensamento reflexivo e crítico sobre os achados da pesquisa.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of the pediatric population with COVID-19 in an Emergency Department (ED) of a Brazilian general hospital. Methods: Epidemiological and clinical data of patients younger than 20 years old were collected from patients’ medical records from February 2020 to July 2021. Most of the epidemiological data described pertains to hospitalized patients. We also reviewed coinfections, treatment, and outcomes and compared the first and second waves of COVID-19. Results: We identified a total of 1303 episodes of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The median time from symptom onset to diagnosis was three days. Symptoms were present in 92.3% of the patients. The most common symptoms were fever (45.2%), nasal congestion/discharge (44.2%), and cough (39.4%). Chest radiography and tomography were performed in 7.7 and 3.3% of cases, with abnormal findings in 29.7 and 53.4%, respectively. Hospital admissions occurred in 3.5% of patients, mainly in the presence of comorbidities, in children under five years old and in those who presented to the ED during the first wave of COVID-19. Coinfection with a viral agent was identified in 20% of the 71 cases tested in this study, and a positive rapid test for Streptococcus pyogenes was found in 8% of the 174 cases tested, with no impact of these coinfections on hospitalization. Conclusions: We found that COVID-19 was a mild disease in most children in our study population, with most hospitalizations and readmissions occurring during the first wave of COVID-19.
Dual x-ray absorptiometry monitoring in pediatric short bowel syndrome: an integrative review
Authors: Blum Angelica Godoi Romagnoli , Russo Tais Daiene Hortencio , Nogueira Roberto José Negrão
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the bone health of pediatric patients with short bowel syndrome intestinal failure (SBS-IF). Data source: An integrative literature review was performed using the data published in the MEDLINE-PubMed and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) databases between January 2010 and April 2021, and through a manual search of the reference lists of relevant studies. Studies were included if they assessed bone mineral density by the Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) technique, incorporated pediatric patients (up to 20 years of age) with SBS under parenteral nutrition (PN) and were written in English. Eleven primary sources met the inclusion criteria for this study. Data synthesis: Pediatric patients with SBS-IF under long-term parenteral nutrition experienced frequent changes in bone metabolism, leading to osteoporotic fractures and growth failure. These patients have deficiencies in multiple nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamin D. Consequently, there are variations in the secretion and regulation of the parathyroid hormone. In addition, the pharmacotechnical limitations related to calcium and phosphorus in the PN solution, use of glucocorticoids, and difficulty performing physical activity are risk factors for the development of metabolic bone disease in pediatric patients with SBS-IF. Conclusions: Low bone mineral density was associated with a high risk of developing osteoporosis, fractures, and growth deficiency in pediatric patients with SBS-IF on PN therapy in the long term.
Infectious endarteritis in aortic coarctation: two spectra of an infrequent disease
Authors: Santiago Justo , Karl Gabriela , Florez Claudia , Molina Yudisay , Castro Javier , Hurtado Alexandra , García Valeria
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe two different degrees of clinical commitment and results in the evolution of infectious endarteritis in patients without a previous diagnosis of aortic coarctation. Case description: Two male patients aged 13 and 9 years old were admitted. The first due to a fever for 2 months, which started after dental cleaning, and the second due to high blood pressure, both patients with asthenia and weight loss. In the first case, the transthoracic echocardiogram showed aortic coarctation, and the transesophageal echocardiogram showed the presence of vegetations in the post-coarctation area, without pseudoaneurysms, with blood culture positive for Streptococcus mitis. This patient was treated for six weeks with crystalline penicillin, resolving the infection without complications. The second case was assessed for high blood pressure with a history of fever, and was treated with antibiotics. When performing a transthoracic echocardiogram, aortic coarctation was observed with a saccular image classified as a pseudoaneurysm by angiography and tomography. Blood culture was negative, and the patient developed an episode of hematemesis whose initial etiology could not be determined. Before surgical repair, he had a second episode of copious hematemesis with hypovolemic shock and death. Comments: We need to have a high index of clinical suspicion to establish the diagnosis of aortic coarctation complicated by endarteritis and start the appropriate antibiotic treatment, always maintaining surveillance for the early detection of pseudoaneurysms.

Published: December 2023

Resumo O sucesso ou o fracasso de candidatos à reeleição nas prefeituras nas eleições de 2020 foi determinado pelo contexto da pandemia? Para responder essa questão, testamos a influência de variáveis de cinco dimensões: características individuais dos postulantes, fatores políticos municipais, questões socioeconômicas e de governança, assim como indicadores contextuais da pandemia sobre o desempenho daqueles que tentaram renovar os seus mandatos. A pesquisa circunscreveu 3032 municípios em que prefeitos participaram da corrida eleitoral. Influenciaram positivamente a reeleição os seguintes fatores: tamanho da população, gastos de campanha e gastos em saúde e em educação e contratação de médicos durante a pandemia. Como efeitos negativos, foram encontrados a competição eleitoral e o gênero do chefe do executivo. Concluiu-se que os aspectos que, de fato, determinaram a reeleição estão relacionados ao enfrentamento da Covid-19, a atributos individuais do candidato e às características políticas do município, e não a fatores epidemiológicos ligados à pandemia, como casos confirmados ou mesmo óbitos.

Published: December 2023

Resumo Diferentemente das áreas da saúde, educação e assistência social, os Conselhos Locais de Política Urbana permanecem como objetos pouco explorados pelo campo. Tais instâncias participativas possuem papel central na promoção do direito à cidade, contrapondo-se ao padrão histórico de urbanização desigual brasileiro. Neste contexto, a experiência de institucionalização de tais conselhos no Brasil e sua capacidade decisória permanecem por serem investigadas. O objetivo do presente artigo é avaliar o impacto de variáveis de desenho institucional e de ciclo político em sua capacidade decisória, a partir de uma abordagem longitudinal entre os anos de 2009 e 2019 em metrópoles brasileiras. O método de regressão logística binomial foi utilizado para analisar os registros de discussão, deliberação e representação em 195 reuniões, envolvendo 7.759 participantes. Os resultados desvelam desafios persistentes nos espaços de institucionalização de democracia deliberativa em relação ao cenário local de implementação da política urbana apontando para agendas renovadas de pesquisa.
A Difusão das Comissões de Heteroidentificação nas Universidades Públicas: Instituições e Mudança Organizacional

Published: December 2023

Resumo Esse artigo mobiliza a literatura sobre isomorfismo institucional e movimentos sociais para explicar a difusão no Brasil de procedimentos de validação das autodeclarações dos candidatos à admissão em universidades federais por meio de cotas raciais. A difusão desses procedimentos transformou o modo como o direito às ações afirmativas é compreendido e produziu mudanças organizacionais. Por meio da análise de documentos e entrevistas, o artigo identifica os mecanismos coercivos, miméticos e normativos em jogo e examina sua gênese. Ele mostra que esses derivaram das interações entre estudantes universitários, funcionários técnico-administrativos e docentes das universidades, assim como organizações do movimento negro e de agências do estado, engajados no objetivo de proteger as ações afirmativas. Implicações para estudar mudança no ensino superior e nas relações raciais no Brasil são discutidas.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the plant performance of two advanced potato clones compared to two standard cultivars. Field experiments were carried out in Canoinhas-SC, Pelotas-RS and Brasília-DF. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with four replications of plots composed of 44 useful plants plus borders. Four plant samples per plot were collect 30, 44, 56, 72, 86 and 100 days after planting. Morpho-agronomic characters were evaluated throughout the crop cycle, and at the end of the crop cycle tuber yield and frying quality were determined. There was a direct relationship between tuber yield and shoot development. For these characters, both clones F63-10-07 and F21-07-09 presented superior values compared to the standard cultivars in Pelotas, and these together with ‘Atlantic’ were superior to ‘Asterix’ in Canoinhas. In Brasilia, the standard cultivars showed greater shoot development, but the final marketable yield was not statistically different. F63-10-07 and ‘Atlantic’ have a lower stem number per plant, indicating the need to manage this character to adjust the stem density in the field.
Models of Measuring Cooperation: Brazil and Mexico
Authors: Díaz José Alejandro Sebastian Barrios
Published: December 2023

Abstract Over the past few decades, South-South cooperation has grown in terms of actors, volume, geographic reach, instruments, and modalities, but, statistics on this type of cooperation have been incomplete and fragmented. The technical, political, and institutional challenges in measuring South-South cooperation are emphasised by countries like Brazil and Mexico, chosen as cases to be analysed in the text. The article explores the experiences in measuring international cooperation provided by Brazil and Mexico, starting with the characterization of the two national trajectories in the quantification and the modalities that determine the process, and analyses the main similarities and differences presented between the cases. The analysis of the countries studied in this article evidence the different institutional designs of international cooperation and the establishment of measurement models elaborated by governments based on their own realities of international cooperation, indicating, therefore, that the process of measuring international cooperation is not only a statistical issue, but above all, a political one. Seen in these terms, South-South cooperation measurement exercises have provided more knowledge about how cooperation activities are organized and their relation to global development agendas, and have also consolidated the transparency of public expenditure.cooperation and development; South-South cooperation; public expenditure; Brazil; Mexico; measurement.
Conflictive Climate Governance Architecture under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
Authors: Anselmi Marcela Braga
Published: December 2023

Abstract Studies estimate that between 2% to 3% of the global CO2 emissions stem from the aviation sector, and these figures can almost double in the medium term if no mitigations actions are taken to curb emissions. The international climate regime, based on the United Nations Framework on Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC) and on the Kyoto Protocol, has transferred the negotiation mandate to address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from aviation to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This article argues that the Kyoto mandate prompted an institutional interaction between the UNFCCC and ICAO that ultimately has resulted in a conflictive climate governance architecture. The conflict was derived from the clash between the two core guiding principles of these two institutions: on the one hand, the Common but Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR) principle under the UNFCCC; on the other hand, the non-discrimination and equal and fair principles, enshrined in the ICAO Chicago Convention. In this context, a literature review and a broad analysis of primary sources from ICAO decisions are the main methods applied to draw the author’s conclusions.

Published: December 2023

Abstract The Maria da Penha Law assists male perpetrators of violence in rehabilitation centers translated, in practice, into group activities. This study offers a national overview of these actions by conducting a literature review and bibliographical and documental research. Groups were identified by searches on LILACS/VHL, MEDLINE/PUBMED, COCHRANE LIBRARY, EMBASE, the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), and the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel’s (CAPES) journal portal, published maps and national listing of initiatives with male perpetrators of violence, and a web search. Of the 309 groups identified, 271 answered an electronically sent questionnaire from April to May 2021. Results draw an overview showing the active institutions; the way men are referred to them; the existence of networking and approximation to social movements; information about facilitating teams; goals; evaluation methodology; and the main results and difficulties highlighted by these groups. This study also confirmed gaps, such as the absence of a national public policy that welcomes and encourages local organizations; facilitators’ lack of ongoing training; the absence or scarcity of financial contribution; and especially the fragile evaluation and monitoring of activities.
Improving Resource Allocations by Sharing in Pairs
Authors: Bredereck Robert , Kaczmarczyk Andrzej , Luo Junjie , Niedermeier Rolf , Sachse Florian
Published: December 2023

Given an initial resource allocation, where some agents may envy others or where a different distribution of resources might lead to a higher social welfare, our goal is to improve the allocation without reassigning resources. We consider a sharing concept allowing resources being shared with social network neighbors of the resource owners. More precisely, our model allows agents to form pairs which then may share a limited number of resources. Sharing a resource can come at some costs or loss in utility. To this end, we introduce a formal model that allows a central authority to compute an optimal sharing between neighbors based on an initial allocation. Advocating this point of view, we focus on the most basic scenario where each agent can participate in a bounded number of sharings. We present algorithms for optimizing utilitarian and egalitarian social welfare of allocations and for reducing the number of envious agents. In particular, we examine the computational complexity with respect to several natural parameters. Furthermore, we study cases with restricted social network structures and, among others, devise polynomial-time algorithms in path- and tree-like (hierarchical) social networks.

XVI. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren Osmanlı İmparatorluğu doğuda ve batıda

girdiği uzun savaşların neticesinde askerî, iktisadî ve idarî olarak köklü değişimler

geçirmişti. Eyaletlerin yönetimi ve beylerbeylerinin tayin usulleri de dönemin şartlarına

uygun olarak değişim göstermişti. Bu çalışmanın konusu olan Karamânî Nuh Paşa,

taşra memuriyetlerinden yüksek mevkilere geçişin azaldığı bir dönemde, Karaman’da

kaza kadılığı ile başlayan siyasi hayatını, Celâlîlere karşı savaşan ordunun serdarlığını

yaparak tamamlamıştı. Nuh Paşa’nın ilmiyeden askeriyenin yüksek mevkilerine

ulaşabilmesinde, Karaman başta olmak üzere birçok doğu eyaletinin malî meseleleriyle

ilgilenip tecrübe kazanması birinci etkendi. Bu sayede kadılıktan mal defterdarlığına terfi

edebilen Nuh Paşa, uzun savaşlar sebebiyle devletin nakdî gelire ihtiyaç duyduğu bu

dönemde eyaletlerin gelirlerini tahsil etme ve merkeze hazine gönderme başarılarıyla

öne çıkmıştı. Eyaletlerin maddî kaynaklarının idaresinin önem kazanmasına mukabil

birçok mal defterdarı ve baş-defterdar gibi Nuh Paşa da beylerbeyi tayin edilmişti. Malî

tecrübeleriyle bu mevkilere yükselen Nuh Paşa, ömrünün son döneminde memleketi

Karaman’da fitillenen Celâlî isyanlarının yerelle ilişkileri güçlü devlet adamlarına olan ihtiyacının etkisiyle kalemiyeden seyfiyeye geçiş yapmıştı. Böylece eyalet muhafızlığı,

Karaman beylerbeyi payesiyle Habsburg seferlerine katılmış ve en sonunda Celâlîlerle

savaşan ordunun serdarlığıyla başarılı bir askerî kariyere de sahip olabilmişti.

fenomenoloji perspektifleriyle çözümlenmiştir. Ömer Seyfettin karakterlerinin psikolojik

boyutlarını çözümleyebilmek için kartezyen şüphe ve fenomenolojinin öğretileri veri

toplama yöntemi olarak kullanılmış ve gelecek çalışmalar için yol gösterici bir yöntem

olarak sunulması hedeflenmiştir. Yapılan çözümlemede, baş karakterin septik bir kişiliği

olduğu, görme ve duyma duyularının sağladığı algıların yanıltıcılığını önvarsaydığı,

dolayımsız deneyim için dokunma duyusuna bel bağladığı görülmektedir. Böylece

bu septik tutumun, Derscartes’in zihin-beden düalizmi kapsamında ele alınabilecek şüpheciliği temelinde değerlendirilemeyeceği, algıya yönelik olarak dokunma duyusuna

atfettiği önemin Decartes’teki uyku-uyanıklık analojisine tezat oluşturduğu, karakterin

çözümlenmesinde fenomenolojik yöntemin benimsenebileceği bulunmuştur.

Due to labour market instability, there is an increasing interest in tools for adapting human capital to sectoral transformations of regional economy. One of effective tools is short training and retraining programmes foremployees. The study examines the relationship between the economic development of Russian regions and participation of the adult population in continuing education programmes. To this end, the research analysed data on the implementation of three educational initiatives of the Government of the Russian Federation introduced in 2020–2021 to support employment. The sample consists of 350 thousand respondents participating in three federal initiatives: vocational training programmes and additional vocational education for people affected by the coronavirus infection (2020), the «Older Generation» (2020) and «Employment Promotion» (2021) federal projects. It was found that continuing education programmes are more popular in economically strong regions. Additionally, industries seen as drivers of regional development attract more citizens to participate in relevant programmes. A better match between educational programmes and the sectoral structure of regional economy is observed in regions with high labour productivity, indicating a close interaction between employers and educational organisations. Results of demonstration exams on different competencies for older people revealed a direct correlation between industry development in a region and the mastery of skills of students. The study developed and justified a new approach to determining the correspondence between the structure of education and the structure of regional economy through comparing the share of trainees and the share of gross value added for various industries. The findings can be useful to experts working in adult education, university heads, employment service specialists, regional operators of federal projects responsible for the implementation of lifelong learning programmes in Russia.

In the context of implementing import substitution policy and achieving technological sovereignty, the Russian Federation strives to accelerate the implementation of new technologies in agricultural production. The article assesses regional consumer preferences in the market of agricultural unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using the example of ultra-low-volume spraying technology. It is hypothesised that consumer preferences in this market are affected by natural and climatic factors, including cultivated land size, climatic conditions and terrain diversity. To perform parsing analysis, a script in the Python programming language was created, which receives information about the number of search queries characterising the popularity of agricultural UAVs. The article presents the results of queries from February 2021 to June 2022, taking into account the seasonal nature of agricultural activities. Data on the frequency of queries, including more than 500 measurements from more than 380,000 indicators, were processed using the Yandex. Wordstat service. “Agrodrone” and “agricultural spraying drone” are the most frequently searched queries in Moscow city, Moscow oblast and Krasnodar krai. Moscow and Moscow oblast are characterised by the central location and high concentration of financial and technological resources, while Krasnodar krai is known for large cultivated land areas and favourable climatic conditions for crop production. UVAs are also popular in such mountainous regions as the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania and the Republic of Adygea, since they can be used for crop treatment instead of high-cost self-propelled sprayers and small aircraft. Therefore, the study confirmed a correlation between regional popularity of agricultural UVAs and regional characteristics of agricultural organisation in Russia. Further research can assess the implementation of individual technologies using agricultural UAVs to develop strategic priorities for ensuring food security and achieving technological sovereignty of Russian regions.

Economic growth and prosperity are often associated with the development of key sectors such as agriculture, construction, and manufacturing. The importance of tourism in driving economic growth and prosperity is often overlooked. The study focuses on Indonesia and its diverse tourism resources, pointing out that different provinces have varying impacts on the overall economy due to their distinct tourism assets. Therefore, this study investigates the influence of tourism diversity on regional economic growth. Data were collected from the Central Agency of Statistics (BPS), Ministry of Tourism, and Ministry of Public Works and Housing from 2010 to 2017, using such variables as economic growth, physical investment, population, human capital, and the tourism competitiveness index. Moreover, we considered spatial effects by employing a Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) to account for the interdependence of different regions in Indonesia. The results reveal that tourism spillovers occur between provinces, meaning that tourism development in one area is influenced not only by its own resources but also by neighbouring provinces. The spatial regression analysis demonstrates that neighbouring areas have a positive impact on each other, reinforcing the idea that tourism development tends to cluster geographically. This suggests that regional tourism development policies should consider these spatial dependencies, aiming for integrated programmes that have an impact not only within a single area but also between regions. The suggestion for further research is to use a type of spatial weight in the form of inter-regional tourist moving, namely the movement of tourists between provinces in Indonesia.
Electricity Price Parameters as a Basis for Energy Demand Management in Regions

Energy cost management (more than 45 % in the structure of total costs) can significantly reduce own energy supply costs and improve operational efficiency of an enterprise. The study examines regional electricity price parameters, affected by retail and wholesale electricity markets, in terms of the possibilities for industrial enterprises to implement price-dependent demand management to reduce energy purchase costs. The article aims to distribute Russian regions according to the prospects for reducing energy purchase costs by managing electricity demand schedules. The following methods were utilised: statistical analysis of hourly average electricity prices per year, month and day in the regional context; mathematical modelling and calculation of authors’ coefficients of average electricity prices and coefficients of daily price volatility for assessing prospects for effective energy demand management in Russian regions; construction of positioning maps for grouping and identifying regions where the implementation of price-dependent demand management is possible. Electricity price parameters of all Russian regions were examined. The paper analysed principles of electricity pricing for domestic industrial enterprises, researched the impact of price volatility on energy purchase costs, assessed the contribution of electricity costs to total energy consumption costs of enterprises. Coefficients of average electricity prices, coefficients of daily price volatility and coefficients of efficiency of price-dependent electricity consumption were applied to study electricity price parameters in the regional context. As a result, the article presented a map of electricity price parameters, where regions are grouped according to the possibility of implementing demand management mechanisms. Additionally, specific practical recommendations on price-dependent demand management for electricity consumption of industrial enterprises were given for each identified regional group.

Armenia imposed a temporary ban on imports of Turkish apparel in 2021, and lifted it on January 1, 2022. The government gave manufacturers a chance to capture that market share. In this article, the role of domestic and foreign sales of various groups of firms in explaining real changes in industry output for various periods in the short run was estimated based on industry-level monthly data for June 2011-September 2021 and using the least squares estimation method. The study identified the priorities of various groups of manufacturers and revealed that industry domestic and foreign sales (mainly exports to Russia) are complements. It was determined that large firms engaged in cut-make-trim (CMT) manufacturing were not and would not be interested in capturing that market share, while large own-brand manufacturers are and will be interested in doing so; however, exports to Russia could be preferred to domestic sales. Micro and small-sized firms managed to capture the market segment of items included in Category 6114 of Harmonised System (HS) codes. However, the firms will meet tougher competition in the future than in 2020, with importers re-switching to Turkish suppliers and Russia emerging as a key player. Hence, the exports will drive the industry growth, regardless of a possible decline in domestic sales. The research results can be used by the Ministry of Economy of Armenia, and the Eurasian Economic Commission in creating various industry development strategies, and implementing import substitution strategies for member-states of the Eurasian Economic Union. Further research on firm-level upgrading strategies will be required to reinforce the obtained results.
