Published: August 2024

O objetivo desse artigo é compartilhar uma proposta para guiar a análise e seleção de livros didáticos para o ensino de línguas estrangeiras em geral e em particular de inglês. Parte-se da importância do livro didático em geral e especificamente desse componente curricular, e traça-se um panorama crítico de vários instrumentos de avaliação de livros didáticos de línguas estrangeiras. Também, discutem-se algumas novas mudanças na avaliação e na seleção desses materiais de ensino com a sua inclusão no Programa Nacional do Livro Didático do governo brasileiro. Propõe-se, a partir disso, e da experiência em uma instituição de ensino, um instrumento guia da avaliação e seleção por parte do docente da área, que contempla questões de caráter qualitativo, e ainda permite uma avaliação quantitativa, não suplantando a voz do professor neste processo.
Linguística gerativa e “ensino” de concordância na Educação Básica: contribuições às aulas de gramática
Authors: Luciana Morais Ferreira Elisabete , Da Silva Guerra Vicente Helena
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho objetiva discutir processos de concordância em português, com ênfase na concordância verbal, e fornecer uma proposta para seu “ensino” no contexto da Educação Básica, sob um enfoque gerativista. Outro objetivo deste texto é promover uma reflexão sobre o “ensino” de gramática e educação linguística, considerando-se a importância de se lidar com a noção chomskyana de “competência”, entendida, aqui, como o conhecimento linguístico prévio do aluno. As conclusões do trabalho apontam para a relevância da prática de eliciação no exercício pedagógico. Essa técnica configura uma ferramenta importante de que dispõe o professor da Educação Básica, na medida em que revela o papel significativo da intuição linguística dos alunos acerca desse fenômeno gramatical.
Escrita como prática social: a tarefa como um atrator
Authors: Abrantes Antunes Soares Lia
Published: August 2024

A relevância da escrita em nossa sociedade é indiscutível, não obstante a imensa distância que se observa entre a escrita escolar e a escrita como prática social. À luz de contribuições da Filosofia da Linguagem e de pesquisas em Aquisição de Linguagem, delineamos a proposta deste artigo, entendendo linguagem como um sistema complexo e dinâmico em que interagem elementos de natureza biológica e social.  Nessa perspectiva, assumimos a visão de que aprendizagem de línguas segue leis gerais associativas e cognitivas, ligadas a efeitos de frequência de uso. Sendo assim, defendemos uma abordagem por tarefas como um caminho para o desenvolvimento de proficiência escrita, que deve atender a requisitos de atividade frequente e com propósitos comunicativos. Com este tipo de condução, aprendizes são levados a ativar processos cognitivos para selecionar e adequar estrategicamente, tanto informações já armazenadas a partir de suas experiências, quanto aquelas disponibilizadas nos textos que compõem uma tarefa.
Gusta me mucho: enunciados des/reterritorializados e a concepção de língua
Authors: Zolin Vesz Fernando
Published: August 2024

Neste artigo, tem-se por objetivo introduzir o conceito de enunciado des/reterritorializado, pautando-se tanto no conceito foucaultiano de enunciado quanto na acepção deleuze-guattariana de des/reterritorialização. Por meio da análise do enunciado gusta me mucho, encontrado na placa de publicidade de um estabelecimento comercial, aborda-se como o referido enunciado pode suscitar uma concepção de língua edificada na multiplicidade de territorialidades pelas quais transitamos, desestabilizando aquelas consideradas contíguas pelo paradigma monolíngue, as quais têm feito ressoar sua rigidez e sua fixidez em nossa compreensão sobre práticas linguísticas.
Pesquisa on-line nos anos iniciais: convite ao plágio?
Authors: De Fátima Teixeira Barreto Maria , Matida de Melo Keila , Pita Stival Beatriz
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho se insere no contexto das discussões acerca do uso da internet no meio educacional. Traz como questão: o encaminhamento para a pesquisa na internet, nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, é um convite ao plágio? Haveria modos de se trabalhar, nos anos iniciais de escolarização, sem que o plágio se tornasse algo natural? O plágio tornou-se uma preocupação no meio acadêmico, principalmente com o acesso às tecnologias digitais e às facilidades apresentadas pelos aparatos tecnológicos. Nosso estudo possui um enfoque investigativo e incide sobre concepções de plágio de alunos dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental e se desenvolve a partir de questionário acerca das orientações que os alunos recebem quando lhes é solicitada uma pesquisa on-line. Os dados indicam pouca orientação para a pesquisa e principalmente apontam a necessidade de mudança na apresentação do investigado pelo aluno. Como contribuição, apresentamos indicação metodológica para a pesquisa na internet, tendo como caminho o questionamento, a busca orientada, a reflexão e a exposição do investigado por meio de gêneros discursivos, como curtas, adivinhas, verbetes, glossário, frases, entrevistas, cartas ao leitor, dentre outros. Por meio dos gêneros, o aluno irá recriar o texto lido, ou promover recortes, retirando elementos essenciais da informação, sem desconsiderar as normas de citações de autores, como aspas e referências de fala de outrem.

Resumo: Em um contexto social, no qual a inclusão ganha espaços significativos, torna-se imprescindível repensar estratégias didáticas, particularmente, nas universidades, cuja diversidade revela um cenário de maiores complexidades. Nessa perspectiva, caberá ao professor um papel de fundamental importância, pois dele dependerá a mediação que vá além da preocupação conteudística. Para discutir esse tema e analisar a casuísta, travaremos diálogo principalmente com Damásio (2011) e Van Dijk (1992).
Zinc-Finger Protein ZFP488 Regulates the Timing of Oligodendrocyte Myelination and Remyelination

Published: August 2024

Oligodendrocyte myelination and remyelination after injury are intricately regulated by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including transcriptional regulators. Among these, the zinc-finger protein ZFP488 is an oligodendrocyte-enriched transcriptional regulator that promotes oligodendrocyte differentiation in the developing neural tube and in oligodendroglial cell lines. However, the specific in vivo genetic requirements for ZFP488 during oligodendrocyte development and remyelination have not been defined. To address this gap, we generated a lineage-traceableZFP488knock-out mouse line, wherein anH2b-GFPreporter replaces theZFP488-coding region. Using these mice of either sex, we examined the dynamics ofZFP488expression from the endogenous promoter in the developing central nervous system (CNS). We observed a unique expression pattern in the oligodendrocyte lineage, withZFP488expression particularly enriched in differentiated oligodendrocytes. ZFP488 loss resulted in delayed myelination in the developing CNS and impaired remyelination after demyelinating injury in the brain. Integrated transcriptomic and genomic profiling further revealed that ZFP488 loss decreased the expression of myelination-associated genes but not oligodendrocyte progenitor–associated genes, suggesting that ZFP488 serves as a positive regulator of myelination by regulating maturation programs. Thus, our genetic loss-of-function study revealed that ZFP488 regulates a stage-dependent differentiation program that controls the timing of CNS myelination and remyelination.
Proper Frequency of Perinatal Retinal Waves Is Essential for the Precise Wiring of Visual Axons in Nonimage-Forming Nuclei

Published: August 2024

The development of the visual system is a complex and multistep process characterized by the precise wiring of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axon terminals with their corresponding neurons in the visual nuclei of the brain. Upon reaching primary image-forming nuclei (IFN), such as the superior colliculus and the lateral geniculate nucleus, RGC axons undergo extensive arborization that refines over the first few postnatal weeks. The molecular mechanisms driving this activity-dependent remodeling process, which is influenced by waves of spontaneous activity in the developing retina, are still not well understood. In this study, by manipulating the activity of RGCs in mice from either sex and analyzing their transcriptomic profiles before eye-opening, we identified the Type I membrane protein synaptotagmin 13 (Syt13) as involved in spontaneous activity-dependent remodeling. Using these mice, we also explored the impact of spontaneous retinal activity on the development of other RGC recipient targets such as nonimage-forming (NIF) nuclei and demonstrated that proper frequency and duration of retinal waves occurring prior to visual experience are essential for shaping the connectivity of the NIF circuit. Together, these findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the molecular and physiological mechanisms governing activity-dependent axon refinement during the assembly of the visual circuit.
Biodiversity as a Conceptual Tool for Science Communication: On the Life Cycle of a Boundary Object
Authors: Bargheer Stefan
Published: August 2024

Few scientific concepts have the same amount of public resonance as the notion of biodiversity. The article traces the creation of this relatively new concept and its impact on scientific research. I show, based on archival documents, that the neologism was coined in the mid-1980s by conservation biologists connected to the US National Committee of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere program to buffer the adverse economic impacts of an announced withdrawal of the United States from UNESCO. The notion of biodiversity was invented as a catchphrase for public campaigning to find alternative sources of institutional support. With the use of the new term went a new strategy for communicating the importance of studying diversity in nature. Under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere program, diversity was heralded as a contributor to the stability of ecosystems, captured by the so-called diversity-stability hypothesis. Unlike the diversity-stability hypothesis, however, the concept of biodiversity was not tied to a specific justification for research and policymaking. Biodiversity can be described as a boundary object that is marked by interpretative flexibility, meaning different things to different audiences. This flexibility of the concept was not a design flaw but an intended feature. It reflected the need to appeal to a wide range of funding agencies. I show that even though the openness of the new concept worked well in connecting scientists to multiple audiences, it did not do very well, for the same reasons, in guiding scientific research, resulting in a more recent loss of salience of the concept.
Elite Architecture and the Late Antique Ascetic Christian Communities of Cimitile and Sohag
Authors: Berenfeld Michelle L.
Published: August 2024

Paulinus of Nola and Shenoute of Atripe were prolific writers and architectural patrons of ascetic communities in the fourth and fifth centuries CE. Despite their rejection of luxury and elite culture, both were responsible for the construction of lavish church complexes at the hearts of those communities, in which architecture and decoration drew on the visual language of the late Roman elite. The churches shared specific architectural features—a triple-apsed (triconch) sanctuary, a rectangular hall terminating in a single apse, and a colonnaded space connecting them—that were also popular in houses and villas at that time. The architectural and spatial language of these churches would have evoked associations with the luxury and status of late Roman society even as these communities rejected those very things. This article considers the implications of the use of elite architecture and the visual language of convivial domestic spaces in these churches created for ascetic communities.
Teamwork at McKim, Mead & White
Authors: Wood Alexander
Published: August 2024

This article examines the work of McKim, Mead & White as the product of a collective creative effort. Using the records of the firm, it analyzes how buildings were produced through the collaboration of the partners with a large staff of designers, draftsmen, specification writers, construction specialists, and clerical workers. By reconstructing the process of architectural production in one of the first large American firms, the article examines the many different kinds of skilled labor that were involved and documents the contributions of workers who have remained mostly invisible. It also investigates how the large firm generated new kinds of social relationships and conflicts in a high-pressure working environment.
Harriet Martineau’s Realized Abstractions
Authors: Henderson Andrea Kelly
Published: August 2024

Andrea Kelly Henderson, “Harriet Martineau’s Realized Abstractions” (pp. 81–105)

Critics have long noted—and often lamented—the formal incoherence of Harriet Martineau’s Illustrations of Political Economy (1832–34). This essay argues that the tales’ formal bifurcations can be understood not as a failing but as a conscious response to the absence of a contemporary consensus regarding the groundedness of economic abstractions. Martineau’s aesthetic of what I call “realized abstraction” offers a solution of sorts to this epistemological problem: unable to mediate between abstractions and particulars, she simply insists on the importance of both. Berkeley the Banker, her tale devoted to banking and currency, vividly dramatizes this dichotomizing logic. In this work, the relationship of concrete value to its abstract representation in paper money is analogized to a troubled marriage, one in which the husband forces his virtuous wife to subscribe to his false representations. Martineau’s story will explicitly argue for the usefulness of economic theory and paper money, but she resists the tendency of abstractions to render the concrete invisible in an act of metaphoric coverture; instead, she presents the abstract and the particular as autonomous realms. Martineau’s aesthetic of juxtaposition thus aspires to virtues quite different from those of Romantic organic wholeness or realist transparency: her tales aim not only to educate readers in abstract principles and historical particulars but also to train them to discriminate between the two. In subsequent decades, philosophers of science would formulate compelling new ways to bind abstractions to particulars, and the success of that project would mean that despite the Illustrations’s enormous popularity during the 1830s, they would seem to later generations to be marred by formal fragmentation.
About linguistics and environmental terminology (need for study)
Authors: González Vallejo Rubén
Published: August 2024

The environment is a recent science in terms of terminology, and scientific translators need to be trained to convey the environmental awareness of society and science, as well as the technical jargon that prevails in technical fields. Furthermore, translation plays a central role in the dissemination of knowledge, and the lack of terminological uniformity in dictionaries, due to the terminological dynamism and interdisciplinary nature of the different environmental sectors, means that the translator must create specific glossaries due to the lack of reference documents.
Earliness and productivity of popcorn corn lines from the ‘UENF-14’ population for obtaining mini-maize
Authors: Costa Ariane Cardoso , Garcia Romário Vargas , Carlos Mayara Cazadini , Freitas Silvio de Jesus
Published: August 2024

Corn, grown throughout Brazil, stands out for occupying large areas. One of its forms of cultivation is baby corn, which can be produced throughout the year. This type of corn, young and unfertilized, is mainly enjoyed in canned food. To improve the productivity of baby corn, it is important to consider characteristics such as early maturation, low plant height, flowering uniformity and high prolificacy. In recent years, there has been a transition to more sustainable management practices, including organic farming, driven by increased demand for organically produced vegetables. Organic fertilizer benefits the useful life of the soil, while chemical mineral fertilizers can reduce soil biota and shorten its useful life. Considering the early productive potential of UENF-14 lines, the objective of the research was to evaluate the performance of these popcorn lines for growing baby corn under organic management. The materials tested were: 14 lines of popcorn from the UENF-14 population, the experiments were conducted in the summer 2017/2018 and winter 2018 harvests in the experimental area of IFES, Campus de Alegre, located in the district of Rive - ES. The experimental design was randomized blocks with 15 treatments and four replications. The first harvests of the plots were carried out between three and five days after the issuance of stigma styles, for 30 days. After harvesting, the ears were placed in plastic bags, and refrigerators were placed for productivity and precocity analyses. The analyses were carried out in the Bromatological laboratory of the Federal Institute of Espirito Santo - Campus de Alegre. The analysis of variance showed a significant difference between the lines originating from the popcorn population UENF 14, for the productivity variable, with the coefficient of variation found to be 40.04%. The average test for the summer harvest showed that the productive lines for the summer were: L683, L685, L686, L689, L694 and L696, with productivity varying from 666.34 to 876.94 kg/hectare of baby corn. For winter, productivity ranged from 237.21 to 1016.96 kg/hectare of baby corn and among the 14 lines evaluated, only L685 achieved a significant average production. In the summer harvest, the best productivity results were obtained by the lines L683, L685, L686, L689, L694 and L696, while for the winter, only the L685 line showed good productivity results. For precocity, lines L2, L3, L4, L6, L8, L9, L12, L13 and L14 obtained better results for the summer harvest and lines L1, L2, L3, L4, L5, L7, L9, 10, L11, L12 and L14 obtained better results for the winter harvest.
Epidemiology and Surgical Outcomes of Stanford Type A Acute Aortic Dissection in a Northern Japanese Urban Hospital
Authors: Watanabe Shun
Published: August 2024

Background: Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (TAAD) presents a critical scenario necessitating emergent surgery by cardiovascular surgeons. Over time, outcomes of emergent TAAD operations have significantly improved, with several reports showing seasonal difference in TAAD outcomes. The objective of this study was to analyse the seasonal difference in the characteristics of TAAD, especially in the winter season, and the surgical result of TAAD in a northern Japanese urban hospital. Methods: We reviewed 75 patients who received emergent operation for TAAD from 2017 to 2023 in Sapporo Kojinkai Memorial Hospital, Hokkaido, Japan. For all patients, we analysed the seasonal difference, especially in winter, presenting complaints, patient characteristics and surgical results. Results: Among all included patients, 29 (38.7%) complained of chest pain. The mean age of patients was 69.7 ± 13.1 years, with 49.3% men. Ascending aortic replacement was performed in 49.3% of patients. The rate of onset was not significantly different between seasons. Comparing winter and other seasons, the patients who had TAAD in winter were significantly older, with a greater proportion of women. Conclusion: This study underscores the unique epidemiological profile of TAAD in Sapporo, Japan, characterised by distinct seasonal variations in patient demographics. While older patients exhibited a higher propensity for TAAD during winter months, surgical outcomes remained favourable, aligning with international trends. However, larger-scale and multicentre analyses are warranted to further elucidate the impact of seasonal variations on TAAD occurrence and outcomes in Sapporo and beyond.

Self-Control and Grit in Thesis Achievement among Final-Year Students: A Study at the Faculty of Da’wah and Communication, State Islamic University of North Sumatra
Authors: Aini Fadhilatul , Metia Cut
Published: August 2024

This study aims to determine the role of self-control and grit among final-year students at the Faculty of Da'wah and Communication, State Islamic University of North Sumatra. The research employs a quantitative approach with a sample of 100 final-year students who are working on their theses or journal articles. Data collection involved the use of two scales: a self-control scale encompassing behavioral control, cognitive control, and decision-making control and a grit scale covering aspects of interest consistency and perseverance. We performed data analysis using simple regression. The findings reveal that self-control significantly and positively affects grit, with a significance value ranging from 0.01 to 0.05. Self-control contributes 11.2% to grit, indicating that the ability to control oneself influences the level of perseverance and consistency among students. The main contribution of this study is to provide insights into how self-control can enhance grit in final-year students, supporting them in achieving academic goals more consistently and diligently.
Strengthening MSMEs: Evaluating the Impact of Sharia Rural Banks on Welfare in Accordance with Maqashid Sharia
Authors: Suryaman Inge Salsabila , Mariyanti Tatik , Anugrah Insan Praditya
Published: August 2024

This study aims to evaluate the support provided for MSME development by PT. BPRS Hijra Alami and the application of maqashid sharia principles in its management. The research employs a qualitative method, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and financial report analysis. The main findings reveal significant limitations in the support for training programs and business network access for MSMEs. Although BPRS provides financing, additional support such as skills training and network access remains inadequate, affecting the ability of MSMEs to utilize funds and expand their business networks optimally. The study also uncovers that, despite the application of maqashid sharia principles in BPRS's management, their implementation has not been fully effective in managing the risks and social impacts of the provided financing. The primary contribution of this research is the emphasis on the need for a more comprehensive integration of maqashid sharia principles throughout all operational aspects of BPRS, as well as offering recommendations for policies supporting MSME training and network access. This study provides new insights into Islamic banking practices and MSME development and suggests directions for future research to examine the effectiveness and social impact of the implemented strategies
Emak-Emak and Srikandi Shari'ah Economic Movement Pemilu period in Indonesia
Authors: Junaidi Heri , Rusmiatiningsih Rusmiatiningsih , Pratama Chici Rima Putri
Published: August 2024

The realm of domestication of women still continues to leave studies through the study of gender studies in perspective. in line with this, sharia economics is still not present in the study of implementative studies, especially related to the economic activities of Muslim women. The presence of elections as part of this is in line with efforts to improve equality and justice between men and women in the public sphere. This study emphasizes their economic activities in the midst of Indonesia's political events that have escaped from various previous studies. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data sources from various conversations in online media and relevant literature. The results show that women who are active in Islamic economics in the 2019 elections by calling the emak emak group and the Srikandi group and continue with these terms in the 2024 elections rely on the concept of maslhahah as a form of responsive participation for the success of the struggle in the public sphere as well as to help their respective family economies. This paper concludes that the economic activities of emak emak and Srikandi by building on Islamic values make an important contribution to increasing the number of women's votes included in the list of legislative candidates in Indonesia.
An exact rigid/plastic solution for a thick-walled tube subject to internal pressure and axial load considering a general isotropic hardening law and its application
Authors: Lyamina Elena
Published: August 2024

The paper presents a new exact rigid/plastic solution that describes the combined elongation (or shortening) and expansion of a tube. The von Mises yield criterion and its associated flow rule are adopted. No restriction is imposed on the isotropic hardening behavior of the material. The solution is facilitated using a Lagrangian coordinate. A numerical technique is only required for evaluating ordinary integrals. The solution applies to the preliminary design of tube hydroforming. In particular, the variation of the inner pressure with the current tube’s length that ensures a prescribed change in the tube’s radii is determined. Moreover, the modified Cockroft-Latham fracture criterion applies to predict ductile fracture initiation.
Concepciones de “naturaleza” en estudiantes universitarios: Implicaciones para la educación ambiental
Authors: González López José Jair , López-Garay Hernán
Published: August 2024

La crisis ambiental es en la actualidad uno de los mayores problemas que afronta la humanidad. La complejidad de la crisis deriva de su carácter sistémico, es decir, de la alta interconectividad de sus múltiples problemáticas y de que está insertada en una mayor, una crisis epocal que afecta a la cultura occidental como un todo. El presente estudio indaga las concepciones de “naturaleza” en estudiantes universitarios cursantes del primer semestre de Biología Ambiental en la Universidad de Ibagué. En el espíritu de una investigación sistémico interpretativa (Fuenmayor y López-Garay, 1991; Fuenmayor, 1991), complementada con una hermenéutica como metodología de investigación histórica y educativa (González-López, 2022), se revela que las concepciones de “naturaleza” que tienen los estudiantes no emergen de una comprensión holística de la crisis ambiental como una crisis de sentido civilizatoria. Se requiere entonces acción política desde la esfera educativa para que, a pesar de los procesos significativos que ha agenciado la educación ambiental en Colombia, se articule la enseñanza basada en una comprensión holística de la crisis epocal ambiental y la necesidad de generar una concepción armoniosa de la relación entre los seres humanos y la naturaleza que impulse una nueva forma de morar en el mundo.

This study aims to analyze the impact of environmental tax reforms on fiscal revenue. By conducting a comparative analysis of China, Germany, and the United Kingdom, the study explores the implementation effects and fiscal implications of environmental tax reforms in different countries. It selects a sum of eight taxes related to environmental protection in China for panel data on environmental tax revenue. These taxes include the urban maintenance and construction tax, vehicle purchase tax, urban land use tax, resource tax, environmental protection tax (known as the pollutant discharge fee before the 2018 reform), vehicle and vessel tax, ship tonnage tax, and tobacco tax. This selection is analyzed in comparison with environmental taxes in Germany and the United Kingdom, constructing a panel data of 30 observational samples from 2013 to 2022 on the total tax revenue growth rate and environmental tax revenue growth rate in the three countries for empirical analysis. Through linear regression and individual fixed effects model analysis, it was found that the fiscal effects of environmental tax reforms manifest as follows: there is unobservable heterogeneity in environmental taxes across different countries and significant fixed effects between countries. The growth rate of total tax revenue has a significant positive impact on the growth rate of environmental tax revenue. For every 1 percentage point increase in the growth rate of total tax revenue, China’s environmental tax revenue growth rate increases by approximately 0.8489 percentage points, with an average growth in environmental tax revenue of about 0.9797 percentage points.

Governments worldwide have numerous tax instruments that can be deployed to promote effective tax revenue and multinational firms’ location decisions. Existing literature mainly focuses on certain instruments associated with corporate income tax, such as tax allowances and holidays. Certainly, these instruments are of no benefit to companies that are not profitable hence, other types of incentives have been introduced. This study investigates the relationship between tax incentives and the inflow of foreign direct investment into listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria and contributes to the literature on the effectiveness of tax incentives in economic growth. We analyzed a survey response from 296 respondents purposively drawn among the relevant stakeholders in the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. The survey data were analyzed together with secondary data from 65 listed manufacturing firms from 2012 to 2021 using an unbalanced panel regression analysis method. Our results establish a significant relationship between tax incentives and foreign direct investment for all the three tax incentives categories. The robustness check analysis also established that apart from firm age, all firm-specific variables have a significant influence on foreign direct investment, indicating that tax incentive cannot drive massive investments in the manufacturing sector. Our results underscore the importance of equipping regulatory authorities and policymakers with a comprehensive understanding of the influences of tax incentives, non-tax incentives and other firm-specific variables on foreign direct investment. We posit that eliminating routine redundancy associated with the administration of tax incentives is to attract foreign funding to grow manufacturing companies in Nigeria.

Abstract Background Lower limb amputation surgery is associated with a high risk of venous thromboembolism. There is evidence that pharmacological thromboprophylaxis is not widely prescribed to patients undergoing this type of procedure. Objectives To investigate the profile of the thromboprophylaxis practices of angiologists and vascular surgeons in Brazil during the perioperative period of lower limb amputation surgery and conduct a descriptive analysis of the findings. Methods This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study, with simple probabilistic sampling, carried out with angiologists and vascular surgeons working in Brazil. Data were collected through electronic questionnaires, from February to June 2023. Results There were 237 respondents, 58.6% of whom conduct thrombotic risk stratification. Of these, 86.3% use the Caprini score. Only 27% of participants stratify patients’ bleeding risk. Low molecular weight heparin is the medication of choice for 85.7% of study participants, 78.9% of whom use a dosage of 40 IU per day. Around 46.8% use direct oral anticoagulants in addition to low molecular weight heparin and rivaroxaban is the drug they most often prescribe (94.6%). A little more than half (51.15%) routinely recommend pharmacological thromboprophylaxis until hospital discharge. Conclusions The study revealed the heterogeneous nature of conduct related to prescription of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis, highlighting the need for more studies to support prophylaxis decision-making in this patient population.

Resumo A maioria dos agricultores da Paraíba pratica a agricultura de sequeiro, que depende das chuvas para pleno desenvolvimento. As lavouras estudadas são: arroz, feijão, mandioca e milho. O objetivo geral é aferir se essas lavouras de sequeiro apresentam produtividades e rendas sustentáveis em decorrência das variabilidades climáticas existentes no estado, no período de 1945 a 2020; e avaliar se as chuvas são capazes de afetar a previsão da produção dessas lavouras para o período 2021/2030. Os dados são retirados da Produção Agrícola Municipal, Anuários Estatísticos do IBGE e da Administração Nacional Oceânica e Atmosférica. Para desenhar as trajetórias das produtividades e das rendas agregadas por hectare, a pesquisa utilizou o método de Box e Jenkins. Para aferir se houve sustentabilidade no período, foi estimado TGC instantânea. Os resultados mostram que o estado apresentou alta instabilidade pluviométrica (CV=26%) no período analisado e que a pluviometria interfere na previsão da produtividade agregada, mas não causa interferência direta na previsão da renda agregada por hectare das lavouras estudadas. Em geral, os agricultores conseguiram manter produções agrícolas sustentáveis na Paraíba e se apresentaram autoresilientes aos efeitos dos estresses provocados pela instabilidade pluviométrica, embora no decorrer da trajetória analisada houvesse períodos em que não aconteceu.

ABSTRACT Using grafted and aluminum (Al) tolerant seedlings can be a strategy to enable the cultivation of dwarf cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) in regions with predominance of soils with acidic reaction and high concentrations of exchangeable Al. In this context, the objective was to evaluate the influence of grafting on dwarf cashew genotypes cultivated in the presence of Al. For this, the experimental design was completely randomized in a 3 × 2 × 2 factorial scheme, with seedlings of three dwarf cashew genotypes (‘CCP 06’, ‘CCP 09’, and ‘CCP 76’) and two types of seedlings (ungrafted and self-grafted), cultivated in the absence and presence of Al (30 mg L-1), with six replicates. One hundred and ten days after the beginning of Al application, the seedlings were evaluated for growth, dry matter and accumulation of nutrients and Al (in shoots and roots). Al caused reductions in the height (25.8%), stem diameter (6.7%), number of leaves (43.3%), leaf area (46.3%), stem dry matter (29.8%), and shoot dry matter (37.0%) of dwarf cashew. Application of 30 mg L-1 of Al increased the accumulation of Al in the roots and, as a consequence, reduced the accumulation of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Fe and Zn in the shoots and roots. Dwarf cashew accumulates greater amount of Mn in the leaves and smaller amount in the roots, contrary to what occurs with Al. Al limits growth and nutrient accumulation in the clones ‘CCP 06’, ‘CCP 09’, and ‘CCP 76’; however, the use of grafted seedlings increases the tolerance of the plants to this element.

ABSTRACT In the design of major hydraulic structures, a key element is the design discharge, determined from the time series of flow or through runoff models such as the rational method, which relates the peak surface flow with a rainstorm. The design storm is generally established from the Intensity-Duration-Frequency (IDF) relationships via recording gauges data. In the absence/scarcity of these data, daily data from the rain gauge network can be used via the disaggregation process. Thus, the objective of this study is to develop the IDFs for the state of Paraíba, Brazil, where there is an extensive network of rain gauges (263 stations). For this purpose, daily precipitation data were disaggregated for various durations between 5 min and 24 hours and the best fit distribution was chosen among the Gumbel, Weibull, Pearson, Log-Pearson and Generalized Extreme Values (GEV) distributions for the time series of these durations. From the fitted distribution, rainfall for various durations and frequencies were obtained to generate the IDF curves for each location. No single satisfactory distribution was identified for all cases, with Pearson III and Log-Pearson III being the most common. For the IDF curves, the four-parameter equation was fitted and the parameter values were determined by non-linear regression. These varied a lot within the Paraíba state and were regionalized to obtain the IDF equation for any location in the state. The rainfall intensities obtained from the parameters determined in this study, when compared with those derived from the previously existing equations, show large differences and need updating.
