A territorialização do agronegócio e a inserção desigual do Cerrado goiano às redes globais extrativas
Authors: Franco Eduardo Ferraz , Gonçalves Ricardo Assis
Published: February 2025

A pesquisa realizada neste artigo interpreta a geografia e a história dos conceitos de agribusiness, revolução verde e modernização conservadora como ideias e estratégias políticas e ideológicas gestadas a partir dos centros de decisões econômicas do norte global. Demonstra, assim, como elas fundamentaram as bases da territorialização do agronegócio em territórios do sul global, como o Cerrado goiano, transformados em fronteira do capital extrativo e exportador de commodities. O desenvolvimento da pesquisa contou com pesquisa bibliográfica e levantamento de dados e informações disponibilizados em fontes como o ComexStat e Instituto Mauro Borges (IMB). Considera-se que as experiências de orientação de pesquisas, trabalhos de campo e atuação em projetos no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Geografia (PPGEO), da Universidade Estadual de Goiás (UEG), contribuíram com os resultados sistematizados no decorrer do texto. Os resultados demonstram que a inserção desigual do Cerrado goiano às redes extrativas globais tem relação com a exportação de produtos primários como a soja. Issoilustra, ainda, que o modelo da economia agroexportadora representado pelo agronegócio não modifica a participação histórica de Goiás na divisão internacional do trabalho. Mantém-se a condição dependenteda economia exportadora de produtos primários e semielaborados que caracteriza territórios situados nas periferias extrativas do sul global.

Lately, handling big data has become challenging due to its large size and complexity. To address scalability, availability, real-time performance, flexibility, and various Quality of Service (QoS) characteristics, Data Distribution Services (DDS) middleware offers extensive integration with mission-critical, real-time, and high-performance networks. Unlike traditional client-server communication models, Data Distribution Services rely on a publishsubscribe communication model. DDS enhances the quality of video streaming through its efficient data delivery approach. On internet protocols, a significant portion of traffic is generated by content delivery applications, such as video streaming. This study examines how Data Distribution Services are well suited for streaming real-time, full-motion videos over communication networks. Several experimental studies have been conducted to compare video streaming using a VLC player with an overlay of Data Distribution Services. Our application-aware routing system enables mobile network operators to utilize their networks more efficiently, allows service providers to improve customer satisfaction, and ensures end-users experience desirable service quality across various network applications. The findings of this study demonstrate the efficiency of DDS in delivering high-quality video streams while utilizing low network bandwidth. Additionally, the results highlight that DDS offers greater flexibility and scalability, making it a highly important technology for video distribution over internet protocol networks. It achieves this by using narrower bandwidth while maintaining high-quality video stream delivery.

Developing high-performance polycrystalline SnSe has become a critical research direction. Unfortunately, ZT values in polycrystalline SnSe are far less than that of single crystal because polycrystalline SnSe show much lower electrical conductivity and relatively higher thermal conductivity. Here, we presents our recent research progress on polycrystalline SnSe. We demonstrated that thermoelectric performance have been significantly enhanced in polycrystalline SnSe through proposed strategy. Finally, we discusses the future challenges facing polycrystalline SnSe thermoelectric materials.
Ultrahigh thermoelectric performance in polymeric multi-heterojunction
Authors: Qin Bingchao , Zhao Li-Dong
Published: February 2025

Organic plastics-based flexible thermoelectric devices have shown important application prospects in wearables, self-powered electronics, and two-dimensional in-plane cooling applications. However, their practical applications have long been restricted by the inferior properties of thermoelectric polymers, mainly due to the non-periodic polymetric structures. Recently, Wang et al. developed a novel polymeric multi-heterojunction (PMHJ) architecture featuring periodic dual-heterojunction, facilitating a substantial enhancement of thermoelectric performance. By carefully constructing the PMHJ films and further tuning the transport properties with proper doping, a remarkably high ZT value of 1.28 at 368 K was obtained. On this basis, full-scale and large-area flexible thermoelectric generators based on PMHJ were fabricated, showing great potential for cost-effective wearable electronics. In this highlight, we intend to emphasize the importance of this research especially for organic flexible thermoelectricity. Besides, we aim to explore the feasibility of the PMHJ concept for developing high-performance flexible thermoelectrics based on other polymers. This might provide some insights for specific future research in this direction.

Authors: Huang Shan
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the role of public policy in shaping the innovation cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, with a particular focus on science and technology innovation (STI). Despite being part of the same country, the two regions operate under distinct political, economic, and regulatory systems, resulting in differing approaches to innovation. This paper explores how these policy differences affect the relationship between government and businesses, particularly regarding cross-border innovation collaboration. By analysing key policies in areas such as research and development, talent admission, enterprise competitiveness, and startup development, the study highlights the challenges and opportunities arising from these disparities. The paper argues that although the regions face institutional and cultural barriers, there is considerable potential for policy synergies to overcome these challenges and enhance STI collaboration. Ultimately, the study proposes strategies for fostering stronger cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, contributing to the overall growth of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area's innovation and economic development.
Does the Development of New-Quality Productive Forces Promote Regional Cultural "Literacy"? Evidence from the Equalization of Primary Education in Urban and Rural China
Authors: Liu Muyu
Published: February 2025

New-quality productive forces, driven primarily by technological innovation, optimize the allocation of educational resources through digital means, thereby advancing the equalization of education between urban and rural areas. This research demonstrates that the development of new-quality productive forces significantly narrows the gap in primary school advancement rates between urban and rural areas, particularly when controlling for variables such as digital infrastructure. The findings also reveal a significant lag effect, with the most pronounced impact observed in the first lag period. Robustness tests further confirm that the positive effect of developing new-quality productive forces on reducing urban-rural educational disparities is both stable and significant, highlighting its critical role in addressing educational inequality. To maximize these benefits, efforts should focus on cultivating new-quality productive forces, optimizing digital infrastructure, fostering innovation in educational technology, and implementing targeted, region-specific policies. Promoting balanced resource sharing and establishing comprehensive evaluation and adjustment mechanisms are also crucial to ensuring the long-term effectiveness of these efforts. These measures collectively contribute to achieving regional cultural "literacy."

A obsessão pela decência
Authors: Silva Ronyere Ferreira da
Published: February 2025

Esse artigo analisa a censura ao teatro no Rio de Janeiro, entre 1907 e 1930, especificamente a partir de seus aspectos morais e de suas incidências sobre os espetáculos. Utiliza-se fontes oficiais (regulamentos, decretos e leis), bibliográficas (obras jurídicas), hemerográficas e policiais (originais de espetáculos analisados e anotados pelas autoridades policiais durante o processo censório). Destaca-se que as diversas interdições de expressões, cenas e espetáculos foram realizadas a partir de critérios morais, com o objetivo de evitar a representação de temas sensíveis, como a sexualidade feminina, a intimidade matrimonial e os relacionamentos homoafetivos. Conclui-se também que as preocupações morais, presentes nas atividades censórias durante o período em análise, coexistiram com a adoção de medidas conciliatórias, utilizadas para contemplar a crescente aceitação social do erotismo e da sensualidade, sobretudo durante os anos 1920.
O sebastokrator Isaac Comneno (n.1050-†1102/4) e as dificuldades em representar um quase imperador
Authors: Publio Dias João Vicente
Published: February 2025

Aleixo I Comneno (1081-1118) é conhecido pela historiografia por ter estabelecido um governo familiar no qual seus parentes não apenas recebiam privilégios extraordinários, mas também um papel mais importante no governo do que o dos familiares dos imperadores anteriores. Ninguém personificou mais essa inovação do que seu irmão, Isaac Comneno (1050-1102/1104). Ele foi nomeado por Aleixo sebastokrator, que é uma associação entre dois títulos originalmente imperiais: autokrator (lat. imperator) e sebastos (lat. augustus). Isso simbolizava o status como quase igual ao imperador que Isaac desfrutou durante o reinado de seu irmão. Nessas inovações criadas por Aleixo eram quase sem precedentes, exigindo adaptações ou até mesmo invenções linguísticas por parte dos retóricos que exaltavam os membros da aristocracia dos Comnenos e dos historiadores que tentavam esclarecer as políticas de Aleixo. Assim, o presente artigo analisará algumas fontes escritas, como obras historiográficas, retóricas e epigráficas, e pictóricas, como selos de chumbo e mosaicos decorativos, relacionadas a Isaac, a fim de entender como a linguagem de diversos gêneros foi adaptada para construir a autoridade e poder extraordinário do irmão do imperador e as relações entre os dois.
Fotografia colonial à serviço da ordem racial
Authors: Krachenski Naiara
Published: February 2025

A fotografia em contexto colonial se mostra hoje como uma fonte importante e complexa para a historiografia dos impérios contemporâneos. Mesmo o breve imperialismo alemão utilizou-se largamente do aparato fotográfico para registrar as mais diversas cenas e gentes coloniais, assim como a partir de tal material fizeram-se inúmeros usos em diferentes suportes materiais. A partir do arquivo fotográfico da Sociedade Colonial Alemã, pretende-se aqui desenvolver uma análise sobre fotografias coloniais, buscando inseri-las no amplo contexto do desenvolvimento da política imperialista e do racialismo enquanto um discurso pretensamente científico. Para tanto, partiremos de um mesmo espaço geográfico em dois momentos distintos: em primeiro lugar, discutiremos acerca do papel da visualidade sobre o Outro como um elemento partícipe do empreendimento colonial; num segundo momento, pensaremos sobre a permanência da ideologia racialista no antigo território colonial alemão da África de Sudoeste, a partir de registros fotográficos e atividades dos colonos alemães vinculados ao Partido Nazista neste espaço africano.

Authors: Chandrika Asha Rani Rajendran Nair
Published: February 2025

Scope creep, a common challenge in Agile project management, refers to the uncontrolled expansion of features,
requirements, or deliverables beyond the initially defined scope. While Agile frameworks thrive on adaptability and
iterative development, unregulated changes can derail timelines, inflate budgets, and degrade product quality. Agile’
s inherent flexibility, while beneficial, can inadvertently open the door to scope creep when change management is
not handled effectively. For instance, stakeholder requests for additional features during sprints can overwhelm
teams, resulting in missed deadlines and increased costs. This article explores the root causes, impacts, and strategies
to effectively manage scope creep without compromising Agile’ s core principles. It delves into the importance of
clear goal setting, robust communication, and structured prioritization to mitigate risks associated with uncontrolled
scope changes. Additionally, practical solutions such as backlog grooming, change management frameworks, and
trade-off communication are discussed to ensure teams can balance adaptability with focus. By adopting these
practices, Agile teams can safeguard project timelines and resources while delivering high-value outcomes to
stakeholders and end users alike. Ultimately, this article serves as a comprehensive guide for navigating the
complexities of scope creep in dynamic Agile environments.

Published: February 2025

The aim of the research is to theoretically substantiate the rational particle size of the thickening additive (Litol-24) to the vegetable lubricant based on rapeseed oil when forming a lubricant composition intended for use in tractor mechanical transmission units. There is an urgent scientific problem of increasing the physicochemical and tribological properties of plant lubricant, in particular, increasing its viscosity. This effect can be achieved by using special thickening additives, for example, Litol-24. The article provides an analysis of the processes of precipitation of thickening additive particles in the gravitational field and during the operation of tractor transmission units. Theoretical dependences for determination of rational particle size of thickening additive in static mode from the condition of long-term (up to 6 months) storage of agricultural machinery, as well as in dynamic mode from the condition of particle hovering in the volume of RSM are offered. The influence of design features of transmission units of tractor models wide-spread in agricultural production on the process of thickening additive particles deposition in static and dynamic mode is analyzed, recommendations on determination of particle size taking into account this parameter are given. Taking into account the limiting factors, the rational particle size of the thickening additive was determined by the calculation method, excluding their rapid deposi-tion both during storage and during transportation and field work. The particle size of the additive in the range of 1.08 10-6... 1.2 10-6 m was recognized as rational.

Mathematical processing of exper-imental and statistical data was carried out by standard methods of correlation analysis in Microsoft Office Excel. The highest grain yield was noted in wheat crops of South-Eastern 2 (1.03 t/ha), exceeding the yield of varieties L-503
(0.91 t/ha) and Orenburg 10 (0.80 t/ha) by 0.12 and 0.23 t/ha (by 13.2 and 28.7%). The wheat variety South-East 2 turned out to be the most responsive to the use of seed protectants. The average increase in yield was 0.15 t/ha or 17.4%, which is 0.04 and 0.05 t/ha (3.3 and 4.8 percentage points) more than when using the same drugs on varie-ties Orenburg 10 and L-503. Among the tested seed protectants, TMTD+ (2.5 l/t) and Turion (0.35 l/t) were the most effective in influencing the yield of durum wheat grains, in soft wheat crops (on average for two varieties), Turion (0.35 l/t) and Raxil Ultra (0.25 l/t).

The purpose of the research is to identify anatomical, topographic and biomechanical features of the gluteal muscle group of the red spotted deer. Anatomical features of the gluteal group of hip extensors in the subspecies of red
deer – spotted deer, which are absent in the available literature, are presented. The affiliation of the muscles of the gluteal extensor group to different morphofunctional types has been established: the middle gluteal is dynamic, the additional gluteal is statodynamic, and the deep gluteal is dynamo-static, with corresponding functional abilities. The research was carried out at the Department of Anatomy and Histology of Animals named after Professor A. F. Klimov of the Moscow State Academy of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology – Moscow veterinary academy named after
K. I. Scriabin. The object of research is a mature red spotted deer (n=5), selected in the hunting farm of the Moscow region. The material for research is the caudal part of the trunk with pelvic limbs, separated at the level of the thoracic segment 10. The methods of fine macro- and micro-anatomical dissection were used, followed by functional analysis of the studied structures and skeletotopic projection of the points of attachment of parts of the muscle. It was found that the main extensor of the hip joint is the middle gluteal muscle. It is the most powerful among the muscles of the gluteal group, belongs to the dynamic type in its structure, is attached to an extensive surface – the muclock, the subcostal crest, the sacral tubercle and the adjacent surface of the iliac wing. Based on the conducted studies, additions were made to the topical features of anatomical formations on the pelvic (nameless) and femoral bones – the «line of the double muscle», the «line of the external locking muscle» on the ventral surface of the sciatic bone; «the site of the additional gluteal muscle», «the tubercle of the deep gluteal muscle» on the large trochanter of the femur.

Asprosin, a recently identified adipokine, promotes glucose synthesis in the liver. Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the primary cause of end-stage renal disease. Asprosin has been linked to inflammation and insulin resistance, both critical to DN development. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between serum asprosin levels and DN in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). A total of 180 participants were included in this study: 129 patients with T2DM and 51 healthy controls. Patients were divided into three groups based on their urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR): DN0 group (UACR < 30 mg/g), DN1 group (30 ≤ ACR < 300 mg/g), and DN2 group (≥ 300 mg/g). T2DM patients had greater serum asprosin levels than members of the control group. Looking at the various forms of diabetic nephropathy, the DN2 group had notably more asprosin in their blood than the DN0 and DN1 groups. Furthermore, more asprosin was present in the blood of the DN1 group than in the DN0 group. Serum asprosin levels were also strongly correlated with the duration of the disease, blood pressure, increasing blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, urea, creatinine, and UACR. Conversely, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were negatively correlated very substantially. As DN deteriorated, asprosin levels in the blood increased. Apart from that, asprosin had a negative connection with eGFR and a positive one with UACR.

This study aimed to develop valid, appropriate, and potentially effective analytical exposition reading materials on healthy living for tenth-grade students. This study was conducted based on development research, which consists of four phases: analysis, design, evaluation, and revision. The data were gathered via questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and a reading comprehension test. The data were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. A formative evaluation was conducted to ascertain the reading materials' validity, practicality, and potential impact. The result of the validity reading materials was a very high validity of 4.54 when assessed by content, instructional design, and media experts. Then, the result of the reading materials' practicality was very high in one-on-one (4.23) and small group (4.05) evaluations. The field test result was 85.57%, indicating that the generated reading materials had a high potential impact. As a result, the developed reading resources might be utilized as supplements to teach English reading material to tenth-grade students.

Medisch beroepsgeheim en familieleden

Waar het gaat om de uitwisseling van medische gegevens vormt de hoedanigheid van familielid als zodanig geen grond om inbreuk te maken op het medisch beroepsgeheim. Het is in beginsel aan de betrokkene zelf om uit te maken of familieleden mogen worden geïnformeerd. In deze bijdrage worden situaties besproken waarin familieleden vanwege de rol die zij vervullen (vertegenwoordiger) of de belangen die zij bij inzage in het dossier van hun naaste hebben (rouwverwerking, behoefte aan informatie over erfelijkheidsonderzoek of andere gezondheidsbelangen, vermoeden van een medische fout, vermogensbelangen) moeten of mogen worden geïnformeerd, ook al heeft de betrokkene daarmee niet expliciet ingestemd.

De Wob als sluiproute? Passieve openbaarmaking door de IGZ

Gegevens over de kwaliteit van zorg zijn niet zomaar geschikt voor openbaarmaking, zeker tot personen herleidbare gegevens niet. Zorgverleners kunnen door openbaarheid terughoudender worden dan wenselijk voor de kwaliteit van zorg. Bij een calamiteit is van veilig melden ten opzichte van de IGZ geen sprake. Gegevens over een calamiteit kunnen via een Wob-verzoek aan de IGZ echter ook in de openbaarheid terechtkomen. Dit zorgt voor onrust. De mogelijkheden die de Wob en rechtspraak de IGZ bieden om uitzondering te maken op het beginsel van openbaarheid zijn beperkt. De wetgever heeft plannen voor verruiming maar deze gaan niet ver genoeg.

De consulent en de niet-aanspreekbare patiënt

De consulent en de niet-aanspreekbare patiënt

De KNMG heeft onlangs in een nadere uitleg van het Standpunt euthanasie uit 2003 de ‘medisch-professionele norm’ geformuleerd dat bij de wettelijk vereiste consultatie de consulent met de patiënt over de euthanasie moet hebben gecommuniceerd. Daarbij wordt erkend dat toepassing van de norm ertoe kan leiden dat een euthanasie als onzorgvuldig moet worden beschouwd hoewel die aan alle zorgvuldigheidseisen van de Euthanasiewet voldoet. Ik betoog in dit commentaar dat de KNMG weinig argumenten aanvoert waarom het nodig zou zijn strikter te zijn dan de wet en dat geen van deze argumenten overtuigt.

De lancering van medische hulpmiddelen op de Europese markt

Voor het op de markt brengen van medische hulpmiddelen is geen vergunning nodig. De fabrikant moet een contract sluiten met een in een lidstaat aangewezen ‘aangemelde instelling’ om een conformiteitsbeoordeling uit te voeren over de medische hulpmiddelen. De producten worden dan getoetst aan de Richtlijn medische hulpmiddelen (93/42/EG). Als de producten voldoen wordt een CE-markering afgegeven en op het product aangebracht. De conformiteitsbeoordeling wordt vooral gedaan aan de hand van documenten. Dit artikel beschrijft de procedure om medische hulpmiddelen op de markt te brengen. Er worden kanttekeningen geplaatst bij deze procedure en enkele aanbevelingen gegeven.
