A Amazônia brasileira como recurso de poder no sistema internacional
Authors: Schulz Amanda Kristtine , Armada Charles Alexandre Souza
Published: October 2021

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo entender a forma que o Brasil utiliza seus recursos naturais, principalmente a Amazônia, enquanto instrumento de barganha no Sistema Internacional. A partir do aumento da consciência acerca da importância do meio ambiente, do seu entendimento como um direito fundamental e da crise ambiental global da atualidade, passa a existir uma maior preocupação da relação do homem com a natureza e a temática ultrapassa as questões nacionais. O Brasil, nesse cenário, desempenha papel fundamental, uma vez que contém reservas de recursos naturais de grande relevância para todo o planeta e que a degradação de sua biodiversidade é capaz de impactar todas as nações. Nesse sentido, o país é uma potência ambiental e detentor de poder no cenário internacional, contudo está permitindo que esse instrumento de barganha seja utilizado de maneira coercitiva contra si. A fim de atingir seus objetivos, este trabalho empregou o método indutivo de pesquisa através de um embasamento teórico fundamentado em pesquisas bibliográficas e documentais, baseados principalmente em conceitos das Relações Internacionais de poder e focados em identificar o potencial da natureza brasileira como recurso de poder e de como o país utiliza a sua natureza dessa forma.Palavras-Chave: Crise Ambiental Global; Direitos Humanos; Recurso de Poder; Segurança Internacional.

HIV protease inhibitors were first invented between 1989 and 1994 by researchers working for the pharmaceutical companies of Hoffmann- La Roche Inc. (in Nutley, New Jersey), Abbott Laboratories and Merck & Co., Inc. HIV protease inhibitors are used in the treatment of patients with AIDS and were considered the first breakthrough in over a decade of AIDS research. Currently, there are five HIV protease inhibitors approved by FDA for the treatment of HIV infection. These drugs work at the final stage of viral replication and attempt to prevent HIV from making new copies of itself by interfering with the HIV protease enzyme. As a result, the new copies of HIV are not able to infect new cells. Occurrence of protease along with structural properties, classification of inhibitors like Saquinavir, Ritonavir, Indinavir, Nelfinavir etc and life cycle of virus confirm the role of protease inhibitor. Other parameters like adverse effect, application, structure activity relationship and dose regime shows need of medication for person suffering from HIV virus.

Published: October 2021

Tremendously increasing marine pollution is a global threat to the survival of humanity. The correlation between marine pollution and devastating impact on ecological systems and other spheres of environment havealreadybeenproven. Marine pollution is not a localized phenomenon and has its effects on a globalscale; this leads to formulatio n of certain international regulations mutually agreed bysignatory nations. However, in certain parts of the world, including the Indian Ocean, compliance withregulations is not observable. Unsolved partof the puzzle is; why marine pollution continues to exist notwithstanding the evidence that it is so very dangerous. To answer this question, economic, legal, political, scientific, social and technological factors need to be brought under consideration. This study serves a twofold purpose; firstly, it enquires into the deliberation on international law regarding marine pollution in this region; secondly, it identifies the quantity and quality of the mainsources ofmarine pollution in the Indian Ocean. An attempthas beenmade to identify mainsources ofmarine pollution in Indian Ocean followed by a chemical classification of pollutants and extrapolating their temporal impacts on bio-diversity of the region. Understanding ofpollutionsources thataffect Indian Oceanprovidebetter insight for planning and implementation of the necessary regime to prevent, reduce and control marine pollution in the Arabian Sea. Qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis performed in the region, using advanced analytical techniques to prevent, control and eliminate marine pollution viz-à-viz various conventions put in place in the region depict that strict compliance of the protocols is need of time to save the oceans fromgetting polluted beyond the limitof retrieval to original state.

Published: October 2021

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is an important non-invasive method that measures concentration and spatial distribution of certain biochemically significant tissue metabolites. This relatively new method has now evolved from a research tool to an independent diagnostic neuroimaging method, which provides answers to a number of important clinical and diagnostic questions at the early stages of the disease, and allows evaluation of treatment efficacy and determination of clinical outcome.
The article provides a review of data on sodium magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which is a very sensitive method for assessing cell viability and ion homeostasis. It can be used to measure early biochemical disturbances in the tissues in various degenerative diseases. We describe pathophysiology and technology underlying sodium magnetic resonance spectroscopy, as well as the most promising points of application of this method in central nervous system disorders seen by radiologists and neurologists in their clinical practice.

Published: October 2021

La familiaes el primer laboratorio en el que el estudiante empieza a relacionarse positiva o negativamente con otros seres humanos. Es la agencia socializadora más importante en su desarrollo y los patrones de crianza y las características de su familia de origen pueden ejercer una gran influencia en su conducta futura. Por lo tanto, las relaciones familiares y la preparación académica de sus padres, entre otros, impactan su éxito o fracaso en los estudios. Es meritorio que los profesionales de ayuda (trabajadores sociales, consejeros profesionales y psicólogos), que ofrecen apoyo y ayuda al estudiantado, conozcan su trasfondo familiar y sus características socio demográficas para estar en mejor posición de ayudarlos a atender sus necesidades y a lograr sus metas académicas y personales. Este artículo presenta los resultados del estudio Necesidades y Perfil Socio Demográfico de los Padres de Estudiantes de Nuevo Ingreso del Año Académico 2009-2010 realizado en el Recinto de Río Piedras de la Universidad de Puerto Rico. Se realiza un análisis descriptivo y se establecen correlaciones entre el perfil socio demográfico de los padres y los hijos que inician estudios universitarios; también se documentan las necesidades más apremiantes que presentan estos padres en torno a sus hijos.

Gobernanza y desburocratización: Del conflicto antagónico a la visión estratégica
Authors: Pratts Ponce de León Saúl J.
Published: October 2021

El artículo provee una visión general sobre el problema de la gobernabilidad en Puerto Rico, que implica la incapacidad e ineficiencia para dirigir al país. Este problema es más profundo que una pobre calidad de la política pública y de desempeño gerencial. Tiene unos aspectos inherentes del modelo burocrático y la politización del gobierno. Un hallazgo principal se relaciona a como la administración pública es parte del proceso político partidista para, mediante la centralización del presupuesto y las decisiones, asegurar el poder. Además, el rol protagónico del gobierno es una remora para promover un gobierno eficiente. El artículo recomienda que en Puerto Rico se desarrolle una relación diferente entre la ciudadanía, el sector privado y el público, que promueva un cambio en la administración pública tradicional y su diseño organizativo. Se propone el enfoque de gobernanza organizado en redes, ya que el mismo es uno flexible, de colaboración que facilita el consenso entre diferentes sectores.

La intervención como eje teórico metodológico del Trabajo Social
Authors: Quintero Velásquez Ángela María
Published: October 2021

La intervención permea todos los procesos de Trabajo Social y le confiere una característica propia, que la distingue de otras carreras u ocupaciones. Es un concepto relacionado con las categorías de intervención, -indirecta y directa-, la metodología, el método, la técnica, la estrategia, la metodologías, la instrumentalidad, y los dispositivos instrumentales. Está presente desde el nacimiento de Trabajo Social como profesión, y pese a tener su origen en la medicina, ha evolucionado y ajustado al cambio de paradigma, para ser nombrado disciplinariamente como Intervención Social, como rasgo distintivo. Es la singularidad de la profesión, que la diferencia de otras modalidades de Intervención. Evoluciona al vaivén del giro paradigmático y de la consolidación disciplinaria. Coexisten intervenciones, tradicionales, dirigidas por modelos analíticos, funcionalistas, lineales e intervenciones modernas, guiadas por enunciados circulares, probabilísticos, integradores. En su esencia es un concepto resignificado y enaltecido en el ejercicio profesional, que integra propuestas democráticas para la construcción social, las dimensiones éticopolíticas y ético-técnicas y el compromiso con el desarrollo social en procesos sistemáticos y progresivos de diálogo de saberes, negociación cultural. Evoluciona con la época, y funge como eje teórico metodológico del Trabajo Social, en convergencia con la investigación. Ilustrado esto con dos campos disciplinarios recientes, intervención familiar y socioterapia.
“Los jóvenes hablan cuando las gallinas mean”: participación y contrucción de ciudadanía juvenil por medio del arte en las comunidades desventajadas. La experiencia de los/as jóvenes de la barriada Venezuela
Authors: Perez Soler Angel , Ponce Caballero Mónica , Matos López Natalia
Published: October 2021

Tradicionalmente en Puerto Rico se concibe y perpetua la visión de que los/las jóvenes “hablan cuando las gallinas mean”. Muchas comunidades, organizaciones sin fines de lucros y otras entidades que realizan trabajos con esta población, se limitan a realizar actividades y proyectos sin hacer parte del proceso de creación, planificación e implementación a los/las jóvenes de estos grupos. Rompiendo con estas ideas de exclusión, el Centro de Acción Urbana Comunitaria y Empresarial de la Universidad de Puerto Rico (CAUCE) y el liderato comunitario de la barriada Venezuela en Río Piedras, han trabajado en conjunto con el fin de desarrollar el liderato juvenil, iniciando un proyecto para organizar a los/las jóvenes. El mismo ha servido de plataforma para que Las Mega Estrellas de VZ, hayan realizado diversas actividades planificadas por ellos/ellas, incluyendo un mural en mosaico, el cual adorna el centro comunal de la barrida. Este artículo intenta documentar por medio de las voces de los/las jóvenes la experiencia de estos(as) en el proyecto gestado y planificado por los/las jóvenes de la comunidad. De igual forma, el artículo busca mostrar lo efectivo que puede ser abrir espacios de participación para jóvenes en busca de que estos(as) desarrollen estrategias y tácticas para el reclamo de sus derechos ciudadanos. A su vez, el artículo sirve para que profesionales del Trabajo Social usen las artes como metodología para la organización comunitaria y el trabajo con jóvenes.

Authors:   Institute of Informatics and Computing Energy, University Tenaga Nasional, Malaysia, Maseleno Andino
Published: October 2021

Cybersecurity is the process of protecting critical systems and confidential data from digital attacks. With the advent of machine learning, cybersecurity systems can examine the patterns and learns them from preventing similar attacks and responds to fluctuating behavior. Cybersecurity intrusion detection system helps to detect the existence of intrusions in the network and achieves security in confidential data storage and transmission. In this view, this study designs an efficient cockroach optimization (CSO) with kernel extreme learning machine (KELM) model for cybersecurity intrusion detection. The proposed CSO-KELM model can accomplish cybersecurity by the detection and classification of intrusions. The proposed CSO-KELM technique encompasses a three-level process, namely preprocessing, classification, and parameter tuning. The design of the CSO algorithm for the appropriate selection of KELM parameters results in improved classification performance. For examining the betterment of the CSO-KELM technique, a series of experiments were performed on benchmark datasets. The experimental results pointed out the superiority of the CSO-KELM technique concerning several measures.

Authors:   Professor of Computer Science, Ibn Zohr University, Agadir, Morocco, Elngar Ahmed A.
Published: October 2021

Botnet detection becomes a challenging issue in several domains like cybersecurity, finance, healthcare, law, order, etc. The botnet represents a set of cooperated Internet-linked devices managed by cyber criminals to start coordinated attacks and carry out different malicious events. As the botnets are seamlessly dynamic with the developing countermeasures presented by network and host-based detection schemes, conventional methods have failed to achieve enough safety for botnet threats. Therefore, machine learning (ML) models have been developed to detect and classify botnets for cybersecurity. In this view, this paper performs a comprehensive evaluation of different ML-based botnet detection and classification models. The botnet detection model involves a three-stage process, namely preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. In this study, four ML models such as C4.5 Decision Tree, bagging, boosting, and Adaboost are employed for classification purposes. To highlight the performance of the four ML models, an extensive set of simulations was performed. The obtained results pointed out that the ML models can attain enhanced botnet detection performance.

From the last decades, a massive quantity of images gets generated and continues to rise to a maximum extent in the forthcoming data. The process of retrieving images based on a query image (QI) is a proficient method of accessing the visual properties from large datasets. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) provides a way of effectively retrieving images from large databases. At the same time, image encryption techniques can be integrated into the CBIR model to retrieve the images securely. Therefore, this paper presents new image encryption with a deep learning-based secure CBIR model called IEDL-SCBIR. The proposed IEDL-SCBIR technique intends to encrypt the images as well as securely retrieve them. The proposed IEDL-SCBIR technique follows a two-stage process: optimal elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) based encryption and DL based image retrieval. The proposed model derives a cuckoo search optimization (CSO) with the ECC technique for the image encryption process in which the CSO algorithm is applied for optimal key generation. In addition, VGG based feature extraction with Euclidean distance-based similarity measurement is applied for the retrieval process. To validate the enhanced performance of the IEDL-SCBIR technique, a comprehensive results analysis takes place, and the obtained results demonstrate the betterment over the other methods.

O intuito deste artigo é realizar uma análise diante ao anime Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia) e descrever o contexto social, familiar e escolar, com ênfase no protagonista Izuku Midoriya e na relação entre professor e aluno, buscando compreender e alinhavar temas pertinentes ao contexto (escola, família e professor) do indivíduo e suas nuances capazes de somar na obtenção de compreensão da tríade que vem sendo objeto de estudos de diversos pesquisadores na esfera educacional. Sendo assim, há como centralidade as seguintes problemáticas: quais os elementos da sociedade apresentada na narrativa movem o personagem para obter suas virtudes? Quais possíveis papéis a escola pode desempenhar para a potencialidade do aluno que não está “inserido” na sociedade? O núcleo familiar poderá ser uma forma distinta para uma educação e formação do indivíduo? Para atender os objetivos, a pesquisa ocorreu de modo a  conceituar como os autores estão  refletindo diante  os estudos referentes à cultura pop na educação, ou seja, é uma pesquisa qualitativa, em que tais documentos foram analisados por meio da Técnica de Análise de Conteúdo, proposta por Bardin (2011). Assim, obteve-se resultados satisfatórios ao permear assuntos extremamente pertinentes relacionados com a nossa vivência no âmbito escolar, destacando como o conjunto das entidades  social, familiar e escolar se torna essencial para o desenvolvimento e para a constituição da personalidade do ser humano, em que os valores presentes nessa sociedade ficcional impulsionam os indivíduos, resultando ganhos pedagógicos. Por fim, personagens que representam o educador do colégio ficcional em questão, que, a partir de suas didáticas, propiciam aos alunos um espaço agradável e aberto para a troca de experiências, estratégias para a elevação da auto-estima e desenvolvimento de parâmetros para ampliar pensamento crítico e reflexivo, aspectos essenciais para a efetivação da relação professor-aluno e a aprendizagem.

Military Territorial Defense as a guarantor of local security
Authors: Chomicki Sławomir
Published: October 2021

Nowadays, one can observe a return to the tradition of territorial defense. This can be seen directly in the Territorial Defense Forces created in Poland. Their idea and ratio legis boils down to the need for the Polish state to have OT soldiers who, in the event of a threat of a military nature, will be trained to support the activity of operational troops and to help the civilian population. The relevance of this formation is the fact that it is the fifth (next to armed forces: land, air, sea and special forces) type of the Polish Armed Forces. This article is an attempt to briefly characterize the WOT role in creating local security standards, because the organizational structure of this formation (as well as its functioning) is strongly correlated with the administrative territorial division of the state. The study, in addition, describes the history of the WOT formation and also indicates the stages of its formation and (as a curiosity) the WOT concepts that were not implemented. This treatment is not only supposed to complement the study, but it is also needed to assess the validity (or not) of the form in which the WOT currently operates.

Published: October 2021

Phase behavior tests in the surfactant screening process for EOR applications remain one of the relatively convenient ways to design an optimum surfactant formulation. However, phase behavior studies are unable to provide quantitative data for interfacial tension, which is one of the parameters that must be considered when selecting surfactants for EOR. Several studies related to the prediction of interfacial tension through phase behavior testing have been carried out. In this paper, the Huh correlation was used to estimate the interfacial tension value based on phase behavior tests. It was found that the current form of the Huh correlation may be applied for the below-to-optimum salinity condition. Furthermore, the constants of the equation vary depending on the surfactant type and mixtures.

Extracorporeal blood oxygenation has become an alternative to supply O2 and remove CO2 from the bloodstream, especially when mechanical ventilation provides insufficient oxygenation. The use of a membrane oxygenator offers the advantage of lower airway pressure than a mechanical ventilator to deliver oxygen to the patient’s blood. However, research and development are still needed to find appropriate membrane materials, module configuration, and to optimize hydrodynamic conditions for achieving high efficient gas transfer and excellent biocompatibility of the membrane oxygenator. This review aims to provide a comprehensive description of the basic principle of the membrane oxygenator and its development. It also discusses the role and challenges in the use of membrane oxygenators for extracorporeal oxygenation on respiratory and cardiac failure patients.
Modeling the Phenomenon of Xenophobia in Africa
Authors: Gweryina Reuben Iortyer , Madubueze Emilian Chinwendu , Ogaji Simon James
Published: October 2021

In this study, we applied the principle of a competitive predator-prey system to propose a prey-predator-like model of xenophobia in Africa. The boundedness of the solution, the existence and stability of equilibrium states of the xenophobic model are discussed accordingly. As a special case, the coexistence state was found to be locally and globally stable based on the parametric conditions of effective group defense and anti-xenophobic policy implementation. The system was further analyzed by Sotomayor’s theory to show that each equilibrium point bifurcates transcritically. However, numerical proof showed period-doubling bifurcation, which makes the xenophobic situation more chaotic in Africa. Further numerical simulations support the analytical results with the view that tolerance, group defense and anti-xenophobic policies are critical parameters for the coexistence of foreigners and xenophobes.
A Glocalização e o Espírito da Graça: informalidade e Shalom além da economia política de intercâmbio
Authors: Yong Amos , Barros Brasil Fernandes de
Published: October 2021

Este artigo explora a relação entre religião, globalização e economia, concentrando-se na economia informal e recorrendo ao pentecostalismo mundial como um estudo de caso mais ou menos concreto. Uma vez definida a economia informal, o artigo examina os paralelos e interseções entre a igreja e a informalidade, identificando os desafios e oportunidades que existem para a igreja que se encontra na esfera informal, mas não limitada por ela, e esboça uma teologia pentecostal da economia informal à luz das primeiras práticas econômicas cristãs. O peso do documento é duplo: pensar em uma teologia cristã da economia no contexto da pobreza e dos processos de globalização, e considerar como a economia política cristã primitiva no livro de Atos pode informar tal reflexão teológica. Nesta perspectiva, o pentecostalismo contemporâneo fornece um trampolim para examinar questões econômicas locais e globais à luz das preocupações bíblicas e teológicas e vice-versa. O desafio será discernir como e até que ponto as primeiras práticas econômicas cristãs podem ser consideradas para informar a economia política pentecostal contemporânea, por um lado, e como esta interface entre a prática bíblica e contemporânea fundamenta a reflexão sobre uma teologia cristã da economia no mundo capitalista moderno tardio do início do século XXI.
O motivo dos três caminhos em um desenho devocional popular luterano e suíço de 1800: uma leitura warburgiana
Authors: Renders Helmut
Published: October 2021

Este artigo propõe a leitura de representações da cultura visual religiosa com fins devocionais a partir dos conceitos do Nachleben e dos Pathosformeln de Aby Warburg. O objeto de pesquisa é um desenho suíço com os motivos dos três caminhos e com o título “Estreita é a porta, e apertado, o caminho que leva à vida, e poucos há que a encontrem”. Depois de uma reflexão sobre a tradução e compreensão subjacente de Nachleben, aplica-se o conceito tanto às narrativas visuais (Crucifixo, Levante de Serpente, Nova Jerusalém, cidade da Vaidade, Paraíso, Boca do Inferno, dois (três) caminhos) como textuais e metafóricas (citações de textos bíblicos e hinos). Conclui-se que se pode falar de um Nachleben no sentido duplo – tanto de metáforas bíblicas (ou da Antiguidade) transformadas em imagens como de ênfases luteranas a partir da contribuição de Lucas Cranach, o Velho – e que o conceito de Pathosformeln articula bem o aspecto performativo e, ao mesmo tempo, educativo e apelativo do gênero da arte sagra devocional. Palavras-chave: Linguagens religiosas; cultura visual religiosa; Aby Warburg; Nachleben; Pathosformeln.
Édipo Rei, José e Cântico dos Cânticos: da tragédia grega à contratragédia bíblica
Authors: Ribeiro Osvaldo Luiz
Published: October 2021

O artigo procura ler a história de José, em Gênesis como uma narrativa do gênero tragédia, e, mais especificamente, uma tragédia que tem como modelo Édipo Rei. Ao mesmo tempo, o artigo procura ler Cântico dos Cânticos como uma narrativa que, atualizando-se na forma de uma narrativa também exatamente no modelo de Édipo Rei, subverte, todavia, o enredo trágico por meio da crítica político-social de que o que aparece como determinação divina no oráculo somente funciona no nível da realidade humana por força da cumplicidade entre representantes das classes dominadas, a que se dirigem os mitoplasmas, e a classe dominante, que os engendra. No campo narrativo, em Cântico dos Cânticos, a incompetência tática das personagens de Édipo Rei e de José, que, julgando escapar do destino oracular, findam por promovê-lo, corresponde à denúncia da cumplicidade do homem que, na composição, domina a heroína, o qual, em conluio com a classe dominante, responsável esta pelo oráculo de maldição que recai sobre as mulheres daquela cultura, ratifica o enredo trágico ao aceitar cumprir seu papel na encenação dos destinos em jogo.

On the Feasibility of the Closed Cycle Local Economy Based on Pyrolysis
Authors: H. Leeds Brice
Published: October 2021

Modern technologies allow much higher rate of prosperity than normally seen around the globe. The development can be achieved based on the local resources. Pyrolysis should play the central role on the initial stage of the processing of the biomass. The practical experience made by the development engineers allow to make solid conclusion about the current problems faced during the introduction of the technology. The introduction of pyrolysis technologies, especially in developing countries, faces non-engineering problems. The assessment of the economic viability of the introduced technological process can be performed based on the coverage of the global deficit, primarily in terms of resources substituted as inputs. To motivate the local population, it is proposed to introduce a large number of small production facilities with a unified system of coordination of producers and partial transfer of ownership rights. The regional economy should undergo the balanced growth and be protected by cheap quasi real regional currency and expensive accumulative currency. The reginal saving rate can be regulated, allowing for the accelerated rate of regional investments. New green technologies based on pyrolysis should allow for the new regional economic policy named “Green economic defensive initiative”.
