Authors: Olufisayo Oluwatomisin Esther
Published: December 2024

This study examined the impact of laboratory facilities and teachers’ work attitude on the academic performance of secondary school physics students in Ekiti State. A combination of descriptive survey and ex-post-facto research designs was adopted. The sample included 30 physics teachers and the WASSCE results of 1600 students, selected through multistage sampling from 30 schools. Three instruments were utilised: the Physics Laboratory Facilities and Work Attitude Questionnaire for Teachers (PLFWAQT), Physics Laboratory Facilities and Teachers’ Work Attitude Questionnaire for Students (PLFTWAQS), and A Year Examination Result Template (AYERT). The instruments were validated by science education experts, while test-retest reliability produced coefficients of 0.79 and 0.81 for the questionnaires. Data were analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation and regression analysis at a 0.05 significance level. Findings revealed that laboratory facilities significantly correlated with students’ academic performance in physics, while teachers’ work attitude showed no significant relationship. However, both laboratory facilities and teachers’ work attitude jointly contributed to students' academic performance. The study concluded that laboratory facilities and positive teacher attitudes are vital for improved physics performance. It recommended training workshops for teachers on modern laboratory usage, fostering positive work attitudes, and ensuring the provision of adequate laboratory facilities by stakeholders to enhance students’ performance
Ekonomsko-financijska analiza projekta malih kogeneracijskih postrojenja na biomasu
Authors: Staničić Luka , Domac Julije
Published: December 2024

U Hrvatskoj trenutno u pogonu nije ni jedno kogeneracijsko postrojenje na biomasu, no u prošlosti je u sklopu pogona drvne industrije uspješno radilo nekoliko takvih postrojenja. Ipak, s obzirom na trendove u razvijenim zemljama te na očite prednosti takvih postrojenja (znatno veća energetska učinkovitost, manje zagađenje po jedinici proizvedene energije i sl.), od kogeneracijskih se postrojenja očekuje najveći doprinos pri budućoj proizvodnji energije iz biomase u Hrvatskoj. Cilj ekonomsko-financijske analize je da se preko financijske ocjene projekata te ocjeni rentabilnosti projekata sagleda opravdanost i prihvatljivost ulaganja u obnovljive izvore energije, tj. u kogeneracijska postrojenja na biomasu. Ovdje se promatraju tri različita kogeneracijska postrojenja električne snage 1 MWe, 5 MWe i 10 MWe od kojih se postrojenje snage 5 MWe uzima kao referentno i promatra nešto detaljnije od ostalih.
Energetske (ne)prilike na Kosovu
Authors: Zeljko Mladen
Published: December 2024

Za vrijeme bivše Jugoslavije Kosovo je bila najnerazvijenija regija u državi. Unatoč toj činjenici, infrastruktura elektroenergetskog sektora, prije svega proizvodnog dijela, je bila dovoljna za potrebe Kosova kao regije. Ne samo da je bilo moguće podmir- iti lokalne potrebe, nego je veći dio proizvedene električne energije izvožen u ostale dijelove države. Glavnina tog "regionalnog viška" proizvodnje pokrivala je elektroenergetsku bilancu Srbije.Današnja energetska, a time i elektroenergetska slika Kosova je bitno izmjenjena, zbog političkih, gospodarskih a i tehničkih razloga. Kao što će se vidjeti, Kosovo danas, ne samo što nema električne energije za izvoz, nego ne može podmiriti ni svoje potrebe. Ograničenja potrošnje (redukcije) električne energije su njihova svakodnevna stvarnost. Ovaj članak daje vrlo kratki prikaz elektroenergetskih okolnosti u prošlosti te ono što se može očekivati u razdoblju do 2015. godine. Naime, Svjetska banka je pokrenula jedan projekt tehničke pomoći u rješavanju energetskih problema na Kosovu. Cilj projekta je izraditi optimalni plan izgradnje energetske infrastrukture koja bi osigurala pouzdanu opskrbu potrošača na Kosovu različitim oblicima energije, uz što nižu moguću cijenu.

Published: December 2024

Plin sumporni heksfluorid (SF6) nalazi svoju primjenu najvećim dijelom u elektroenergetskom sektoru i to uglavnom za gašenje električnog luka i/ili izolaciju u postrojenjima visokog i srednjeg napona. Zastupljenost SF6, tehnologije stalno raste, zahvaljujući brojnim prednostima u odnosu na druge tehnologije za slične primjene, pa tako i u smislu raznih utjecaja na okoliš. Razlikuju se utjecaji samog (čistog) SF6, plina i produkata njegove razgradnje do koje dolazi pri određenim pojavama u pogonu. Ovisno o stupnju "onečišćenja" takvim produktima SF6, može se očistiti na više načina, odnosno reciklirati i ponovno upotrijebiti, a u krajnjem slučaju posebnim postupkom na siguran način uništiti. Stoga se u skladu s važećom regulativom u svjetskoj, ali i domaćoj praksi razmatra i poduzima niz aktivnosti s ciljem odgovornog pogona i održavanja opreme sa SF6 plinom.

Published: December 2024

El estudio aborda la problemática de la gestión de inventarios en Papelera Nacional S.A., donde las ineficiencias en los procedimientos de compras y almacenes han generado costos elevados y desmotivación del personal interno. A través de un análisis detallado, se identificó que el exceso de inventarios y la falta de disponibilidad de materiales críticos afectan la operatividad de la planta. Adicionalmente, el sistema informático utilizado para la gestión de inventarios se mostró ineficaz, provocando duplicidades en los pedidos y una deficiente reposición de insumos. Para resolver estos problemas, se propuso la implementación de un sistema de inventarios en línea y la aplicación de técnicas avanzadas como la Cantidad Económica de Pedido (EOQ) y Justo a Tiempo (JIT). Asimismo, se recomendó la negociación de contratos de consignación con proveedores estratégicos. Estas acciones tienen como objetivo optimizar los recursos, mejorar la atención a los clientes internos y reducir los costos operativos en la organización.

Published: December 2024

El cacao es uno de los principales cultivos agrícolas que se produce en Ecuador. Como sabemos, todos los cultivos generan desperdicios, en este caso la cáscara de la mazorca del cacao representa aproximadamente el 80 % del peso total del producto, siendo una materia de interés para generar energía. El trabajo se realizó con la colaboración de la Hacienda María Gutiérrez, ubicada en Mariscal Sucre, provincia del Guayas, la cual tiene 40 hectáreas de cacao CCN51. Se realizaron los cálculos y se determinó un valor de 6,7 toneladas métricas de cáscara de mazorca de cacao en el mes. Las cáscaras de mazorcas de cacao se secaron hasta disminuir su humedad del 88% al 18%, siendo un valor aceptable para los análisis posteriores. Se realizaron varias determinaciones analíticas, dentro de estas el poder calorífico inferior, dando un valor de 12846,3 kJ/kg. Por lo tanto, el uso de la cáscara de mazorca de cacao es un desecho agrícola con potencial para la generación de energía limpia, ya que nos ayuda a la sostenibilidad energética, reduciendo el impacto ambiental que genera la energía no renovable.

Published: December 2024

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo determinar los factores que influyen en la selección de carrera universitaria en los jóvenes que egresan de instituciones públicas y privadas de nivel medio superior en San Luis Potosí; como resultado se han detectado como principales factores: los gustos, los intereses personales, los recursos económicos, culturales y sociales de las familias; la trayectoria escolar, la orientación vocacional, las características de género, la influencia familiar y de amistades, la propaganda presente en medios de información y redes sociales. Cuando se da una selección errónea, esta tiene como resultado principalmente que en los semestres iniciales se presenten bajas calificaciones, desmotivación, deserción y abandono escolar principalmente. Otra razón que puede influir en un mal resultado es que el estudiante haya ingresado a la carrera sin que esta fuera su primera opción, en consecuencia, no existe un interés real por la carrera que se cursa. Para que la selección de carrera universitaria sea más exitosa, es necesario fortalecer en las instituciones de nivel medio superior los programas de orientación vocacional principalmente en las instituciones públicas, así mismo realizar test profesiográficos a los estudiantes del último semestre, de esta manera se incrementan las posibilidades de éxito.

A Atuação dos fundos constitucionais de financiamento em recentes contextos de calamidade pública
Authors: Ribeiro Márcio Bruno
Published: December 2024

O artigo discute a recente atuação dos Fundos Constitucionais de Financiamento das regiões Norte, Nordeste e Centro-Oeste nos contextos de calamidade pública quanto à disseminação da covid-19 (2020-2021) e às chuvas intensas no Nordeste brasileiro (2021-2022). Diante desses dois episódios, foram instituídas linhas emergenciais de crédito e prorrogados os prazos de pagamentos de operações anteriores, com o objetivo de recuperar ou preservar as atividades produtivas dos agentes tomadores. Foram analisados os valores monetários associados a essas medidas e discutidos os trabalhos que se propuseram a avaliá-las. Os resultados desses trabalhos classificaram as medidas como positivas, ao atingirem os produtores mais vulneráveis e manterem os índices de inadimplência relativamente baixos.
Enchentes no Rio Grande do Sul: o que ensinam outros eventos extremos
Authors: Monasterio Leonardo , Ehrl Philipp
Published: December 2024

Este estudo examina a literatura econômica sobre desastres naturais, em especial as enchentes, e discute a validade externa desses estudos para o caso do Rio Grande do Sul em 2024. Utilizando o esquema analítico de Jacob Vigdor, em The Economic Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, de 2008, elaborado para analisar as consequências do furacão Katrina, o artigo analisa o impacto das enchentes no mercado imobiliário da região metropolitana de Porto Alegre. O modelo é adaptado para avaliar o impacto diferencial entre áreas inundadas e não inundadas, prevendo possível redução no estoque imobiliário nas áreas afetadas. Conclui-se que, dada a situação econômica e demográfica já estagnada do Rio Grande do Sul, é improvável uma rápida recuperação, sugerindo que lições do caso Katrina podem ser valiosas. Especificamente, incentivos para a recuperação de imóveis existentes e obras de proteção contra enchentes parecem preferíveis à construção de unidades adicionais.
O Trabalho doméstico contribui para explicar o diferencial salarial entre homens e mulheres?
Authors: Sette Ana Beatriz Pereira , Coelho Alexandre Bragança , Silva Maria Micheliana da Costa
Published: December 2024

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi verificar o efeito do trabalho doméstico sobre o rendimento de homens e mulheres, bem como sua contribuição para explicar o gap salarial. Para isso, utilizando dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) Contínua 2019, foram estimadas regressões de rendimento para homens e mulheres, e, em seguida, foi feita a decomposição de Oaxaca-Blinder. Os resultados indicaram uma associação negativa entre os afazeres domésticos que exigem mais trabalho braçal e a renda do trabalho obtida por homens e mulheres. No entanto, esse efeito é maior para as mulheres. A partir da decomposição de rendimentos, verificou-se que a inclusão dos afazeres domésticos leva a uma redução do efeito observado e não observado da decomposição de rendimentos.
O Papel do gasto público no crescimento econômico dos estados brasileiros: uma análise em dados de painel
Authors: Portugal Cristiano Ordones
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho busca analisar o efeito da alocação do gasto público sobre a taxa de crescimento das Unidades da Federação (UFs) ao avaliar as despesas em dois grupos: investimento e custeio. Com isso, pretende-se algum avanço com relação à literatura que versa sobre o assunto, ao aplicar-se, em dados de painel, um conjunto de modelos que englobam, além dos modelos pooled, os de efeitos fixos (EFs) e efeitos aleatórios (EAs), bem como as especificações dinâmicas com estimadores obtidos pelo método dos momentos generalizados (GMM). Os dados utilizados referem-se às despesas que constam no orçamento fiscal e da seguridade social dos governos estaduais e municipais do Brasil no período 1998-2019. As séries de despesas públicas de custeio e investimentos desses governos foram agrupados por estado em séries reais anuais. Os resultados apontam que o investimento público mostrou seu coeficiente significativamente diferente de 0, mas com pequena magnitude, em apenas poucos modelos dinâmicos, tanto para grupo desenvolvido quanto para em desenvolvimento. Por sua vez, o coeficiente em gastos de custeio apresentou valor estatisticamente diferente de 0 em quase todos os modelos, dinâmicos ou não, com magnitude superior aos encontrados para os investimentos públicos. Ademais, os coeficientes de custeio mostraram-se superiores no grupo menos desenvolvido quando comparados ao mesmo modelo no grupo desenvolvido em quase todos os casos, o que demonstra a maior importância desse tipo de despesa sobre o crescimento econômico para esses estados.

Authors: Vasco Ivan de Jesus , Tillmann Eduardo A. , Matsuoka Danilo H
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho busca investigar a associação entre a proporção de imigrantes e os salários dos trabalhadores nativos no mercado de trabalho formal brasileiro, além de explorar possíveis heterogeneidades, como diferenças quanto ao sexo, à escolaridade e ao tempo no emprego. São utilizados dados da Relação Anual de Informações Sociais, do Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego (Rais/MTE), de 2015 a 2018, e da base de dados harmonizada da Rais/Carteira de Trabalho e Previdência Social (CTPS), com o objetivo de estimar modelos de regressão para dados empilhados. Os resultados encontrados indicam que a proporção de imigrantes e os salários dos nativos se associam positivamente, em conformidade com a hipótese de que há complementaridade entre o trabalho realizado pelos imigrantes e pelos nativos, o que gera incrementos na especialização e a geração de externalidades positivas. Em suma, os resultados representam uma contribuição para uma melhor compreensão de como o mercado de trabalho brasileiro incorpora os imigrantes, bem como reforçam a importância de políticas voltadas para a imigração, uma vez que estas podem contribuir com o aumento da produtividade e dos salários no Brasil.
Novas estratégias geoeconômicas e o papel do G20: elementos para a atuação brasileira
Authors: Azzi Diego Araujo , Schutte Giorgio Romano
Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa os desafios enfrentados pelo Grupo dos Vinte (G20) diante das tendências de desglobalização, tensões geopolíticas e fragmentação geoeconômica dos últimos anos. Argumenta-se que os recentes dilemas combinados de segurança e defesa, os obstáculos à paz e à coordenação econômico-comercial entre as nações representam uma nova fase para o grupo. Paradoxalmente, além de restrições a uma atuação mais cooperativa, o novo contexto representa também oportunidades de renovada atuação brasileira no G20, em meio à atual reconfiguração das relações internacionais.
Community-led bioeconomy development and nature-based solutions (NbS) in the global south: recommendations to the G20
Authors: Sack Hannah , Gajjar Sumetee Pahwa , Reid Hannah , Pandey Anvita
Published: December 2024

The role of nature and the bioeconomy in supporting climate-resilient development has been widely advocated for in global politics. For example, the G20 New Delhi Leaders Declaration commits countries to conserving 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030 (as per the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework – GBF). National governments and cities are committing to bioeconomy development, that supports the integration of nature-based solutions (NbS). However, poor communities are often excluded from climate policy and planning and rely on autonomous adaptation measures despite a lack of external financial or technical support. In addition, their involvement in the bioeconomy (for example through agriculture, forestry, and fisheries) is often overlooked. With the current G20 troika consisting of India, Brazil and South Africa, there is opportunity for global South leaders to steer the discussions on climate-resilient development toward more inclusive and just interventions. To strengthen capacity along the research-to-action value chain, towards equitable, multi-stakeholder collaboration, that puts communities at the forefront of bioeconomy development, the development of platforms for knowledge sharing and knowledge co-production to scale locally led interventions is urgently needed. The “High Level Principles on Bioeconomy” under the G20 Bioeconomy Initiative offer an opportunity to advocate for inclusive policy development and community-based natural resource management (CBNRM). Lastly, peer learning between G20 countries on inclusive best-practices for NbS and the bioeconomy can help accelerate the achievement of policy commitments, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Building a fairer future: joint actions for poverty, hunger and inequality reduction by G20 nations
Authors: Kundu Debolina , Gupta Devarupa
Published: December 2024

The Group of Twenty (G20) countries, representing two-thirds of the global population and 85% of gross domestic product (GDP), play a crucial role in addressing pressing global challenges, including poverty, hunger, income inequality and climate change. The 2023 Indian summit underscored the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), fostering a green development agenda, and reinforcing multilateralism, with a strong emphasis on technological transformation, gender equality and financial inclusion to ensure that “No One is Left Behind”. Efforts also targeted to eradicate hunger especially by promoting research collaboration on climate-resilient and nutritious grains. As the G20 prepares for the Brazil 2024 summit, the focus will shift to enhancing social inclusion, energy transitions, and reforming global governance institutions. Key priorities include promoting eradicating poverty and hunger, financial inclusion, gender equality, and multilateralism, encapsulated in the motto “Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet”. This upcoming summit aims to foster a people-centred approach to development, emphasizing the interconnections between poverty eradication, hunger alleviation, and climate action. This article explores collaborative strategies for G20 nations to mitigate global inequalities, highlighting the historical commitment of G20 summits to these issues since the launch of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. It assesses individual progress among G20 members towards these shared goals and presents selected policies that have shown promise in addressing poverty, hunger and inequality. By identifying successful country-level initiatives, the article aims to provide insights into effective, coordinated actions to tackle global disparities. Ultimately, it emphasizes that reducing inequalities is essential not only for promoting social equity but also for fostering sustainable economic and environmental practices worldwide.

C+ emission is generated by electron impact, dissociative ionization, photoionization, and resonant scattering with carbon-related atoms, molecules, and ions in the Martian ionosphere and thermosphere. The contribution of each mechanism to the emission, however, has not been elucidated due to the difficulty of observation and the fact that a part of the emission cross section is unclear. The current paper isolates the C+ emission mechanism using remote-sensing and in situ observations on board Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN. Both electron impact and dissociative ionization/photoionization contribute to C+ emission below 150 km altitude when the CO density is high, but only dissociative ionization/photoionization contributes to the emission for the low CO density case, while only dissociative ionization/photoionization dominates the emission at altitudes between 150 and 165 km for both CO density cases. It is difficult to estimate the total flux of suprathermal electrons in the ionosphere from remote-sensing observations of C+ emission because the contribution of electron impact to C+ emission is small. In contrast, C-atom remote-sensing observations might provide a better understanding of the total flux of suprathermal electrons in the ionosphere than C+ emission, and global ultraviolet observations could be utilized as a tool for monitoring the ionosphere. The total flux of suprathermal electrons estimated from C-atom emission may be utilized to isolate the contribution of each C+ emission process to the brightness more accurately. This suggests that the C+ and C-atom emissions might be tracers of spatiotemporal variations in the Martian ionosphere and thermosphere.
Large-scale Magnetic Field Model of GRB Afterglow Polarization: Effects of Field Anisotropy, Off-axis Viewing Angle, and Ordered Field
Authors: Kuwata Asuka , Toma Kenji , Tomita Sara , Shimoda Jiro
Published: December 2024

The afterglows of gamma-ray bursts are nonthermal electron synchrotron emissions from relativistic shocks. The origin of strong magnetic field in the emission region remains elusive, and two field amplification mechanisms via the plasma kinetic and magnetohydrodynamic instabilities have been discussed. The polarimetric observations are a powerful probe to distinguish these two mechanisms. So far, most theoretical works have focused on the former mechanism and constructed afterglow polarization models with microscopic-scale turbulence whose coherence length is much smaller than the thickness of the blast wave. In this work, focusing on the latter mechanism, we utilize our semianalytic model of the synchrotron polarization with large-scale turbulence whose coherence length is comparable to the thickness of the blast wave to investigate the effect of magnetic field anisotropy and the observer viewing angle. We find that the polarization in our large-scale turbulence model can exhibit both behaviors characteristic of the microscopic-scale turbulence model and those not seen in the microscopic-scale model. Then we find that the large-scale model could explain all the polarimetric observational data to date that seem to be forward shock emission. We also examine the effect of ordered-field components and find that polarization degree and polarization angle constant in time are realized only when the energy density ratio of the ordered and fluctuated components is ≳50. In this case, however, the polarization degree is much higher than the observed values.
PyMerger: Detecting Binary Black Hole Mergers from the Einstein Telescope Using Deep Learning
Authors: Alhassan Wathela , Bulik T. , Suchenek M.
Published: December 2024

We present PyMerger, a Python tool for detecting binary black hole (BBH) mergers from the Einstein Telescope (ET), based on a deep residual neural network (ResNet) model. ResNet was trained on data combined from all three proposed subdetectors of ET (TSDCD) to detect BBH mergers. Five different lower-frequency cutoffs (F
low)—5 Hz, 10 Hz, 15 Hz, 20 Hz, and 30 Hz—with the match-filter signal-to-noise ratio (MSNR) ranges 4–5, 5–6, 6–7, 7–8, and >8 were employed in the data simulation. Compared to previous work that utilized data from a single subdetector, the detection accuracy from TSDCD has shown substantial improvements, increasing from 60%, 60.5%, 84.5%, 94.5%, and 98.5% to 78.5%, 84%, 99.5%, 100%, and 100% for sources with MSNRs of 4–5, 5–6, 6–7, 7–8, and >8, respectively. The ResNet model is evaluated on the first ET mock data challenge (ET-MDC1) data set, where the model demonstrates strong performance in detecting BBH mergers, identifying 5566 out of 6578 BBH events, with optimal SNRs starting from 1.2 and a minimum and maximum D

L
of 0.5 Gpc and 148.95 Gpc, respectively. Despite being trained only on BBH mergers without overlapping sources, the model achieves high BBH detection rates. Notably, even though the model was not trained on binary neutron star (BNS) and black hole-neutron star (BHNS) mergers, it successfully detected 11,477 BNS and 323BHNS mergers in ET-MDC1, with optimal SNRs starting from 0.2 and 1, respectively, indicating its potential for broader applicability.

Authors: Jiao Fuyong , Pan Yan , SHAH JAY N , Wang Jiale , Xie Kaisheng , Mu Zhilong , Wei Qing
Published: December 2024

The clinical management of Kawasaki disease (KD) presents challenges, particularly concerning the use of aspirin, which is a common treatment that can lead to systemic hemorrhage. This editorial explores the clinical characteristics, prognosis, and dosage considerations of aspirin-induced bleeding in KD. Through a review of five pediatric cases at Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital, we highlight the need for careful aspirin dosing and vigilant monitoring to mitigate bleeding risks while maintaining the therapeutic efficacy. The aspirin dosage ranged from 40 mg–100 mg/kg/d, depending on patient condition. The average recovery time for patients was 10 days, with most patients showed significant improvements within 2 weeks. An enhanced awareness and tailored treatment strategies are critical to improve the outcomes of KD patients.
Harnessing artificial intelligence for enhanced nanoparticle design in precision oncology
Authors: Sheikh Mujibullah , Jirvankar Pranita S.
Published: December 2024

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with nanoparticle technology represents a transformative approach in precision oncology, particularly in the development of targeted anticancer drug delivery systems. In our study, we found out that the application of AI in the field of drug delivery enhances the value of nanoparticles in increasing the efficiency of drug delivery and decreasing side effects from specifically targeted mechanisms. Moreover, we considered urgent issues that exist in present-day nanoparticle fabrication such as scalability and regulatory issues and suggest AI solutions that would help overcome these issues. In the same manner, we focused on the utilization of AI in enhancing patient-centered treatment through the establishment of drug delivery systems that will complement the genetic and molecular makeup of patients. Additionally, we present evidence suggesting that AI-designed nanoparticles have the potential to be environmentally sustainable alternatives in cancer therapy. AI is presented as capable of creating synergies with bioengineering methods like CRISPR or gene therapy and able to show potential directions for enhancing the efficiency of nanoparticle-based cancer therapies. In implementing these findings, we systematically discuss and highlight ongoing work and potential development trends in AI-aided nanoparticle research, asserting that it has the potential to greatly enhance oncology therapy.
Analysis of a stochastic fear effect predator-prey system with Crowley-Martin functional response and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process
Authors: Cui Jingwen , Liu Hao , Ai Xiaohui
Published: December 2024

This paper studied a stochastic fear effect predator-prey model with Crowley-Martin functional response and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. First, the biological implication of introducing the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process was illustrated. Subsequently, the existence and uniqueness of the global solution were then established. Moreover, the ultimate boundedness of the model was analyzed. Then, by constructing the Lyapunov function and applying $ It\hat{o} $'s formula, the existence of the stationary distribution of the model was demonstrated. In addition, sufficient conditions for species extinction were provided. Finally, numerical simulations were performed to demonstrate the analytical results.

Published: December 2024

The federally threatened southeastern beach mouse Peromyscus polionotus niveiventris occupies just a fraction of its former range along Florida’s Atlantic coast, mostly within the 72 km of continuous coastline on federal lands of the Cape Canaveral Barrier Island Complex. Although believed to be caused by loss and degradation of habitat associated with human urban expansion, no precise explanation for the reduction in southeastern beach mouse range is known. We used nine years of winter habitat occupancy survey data for a trend analysis, and a subset of four years to identify key factors influencing occupancy dynamics in coastal habitat throughout the core population. Using a maximum likelihood based model selection approach, we tested evidence for the effects of environmental and anthropogenic factors arranged into four hypotheses related to habitat structure, beach erosion, population isolation, and access to inland habitat. As predicted, sites closer to the primary dune, farther from open water, and with higher elevation had higher initial occupancy than sites with the opposite characteristics. Also as predicted, sites farther from open water, with higher elevation, more coastal strand, less ruderal vegetation, and in proximity to oak trees had lower site extinction. Contrary to predictions sites closer to infrastructure (roads, railroads, paved sites) and more isolated by narrow width or unsuitable habitat features also had lower extinction, possibly because of restriction of predator access. A Bayesian analysis showed that annual southeastern beach mouse habitat occupancy was generally high (0.63–0.97) but variable across the 72 km of coastal dune spanning most of the remaining species’ range. Simulation showed that the power of the survey was sufficient to detect a 20% decline between years. This study provides a baseline of knowledge about habitat occupancy dynamics for future monitoring and management of the southeastern beach mouse and other beach mouse subspecies.

Cet article se propose d’explorer les modalités stylistiques de la transmission des connaissances équestres à partir de l’œuvre de Marc Graciano, commencée en 2013 avec Liberté dans la montagne et comptant déjà une quinzaine de titres. Le vaste répertoire des mouvements du cavalier et de sa monture nourrit l’invention d’une approche singulière du récit, nettement orientée vers la description méticuleuse des corps et la relation de leurs gestes. En hybridant les références à l’académisme du manège et l’imaginaire d’une équitation plus sauvage, il met en scène les hauts faits de cavaliers et cavalières dont la virtuosité exemplaire confine parfois au merveilleux. Sa prédilection pour les lexiques spécialisés remet en circulation des vocables rares dont l’étrangeté et l’archaïsme vise également à faire de la transmission des savoir-faire une forme d’enchantement.
À cheval entre « la poésie et le réel, l’écrit et le vécu » : savoir équestre et poétique du voyage chez Clara Arnaud
Authors: Stemberger Martina
Published: December 2024

L’œuvre de Clara Arnaud invite à se pencher, dans une large perspective interculturelle, sur un pan peu exploré du savoir équestre en littérature : à part l’équitation, la maréchalerie, etc., ses récits de voyage détaillent surtout les divers aspects de la pratique du bât. Par-delà le niveau thématique, Sur les chemins de Chine (2010) et Au détour du Caucase (2017) déploient non seulement une poétique singulière du récit de voyage, mais aussi une éthique d’inspiration équestre. Comment l’imaginaire du cheval marque-t-il la réflexion de l’autrice sur des questions politiques et socioculturelles, la sensorialité et la temporalité de son voyage ainsi que la structure même de sa narration ?
« Raconter plusieurs histoires à la fois » : Deleuze, de l’empirisme transcendantal au roman moderne
Authors: Brisac Antoine
Published: December 2024

Peut-on compter sur l’empirisme transcendantal pour élaborer une poétique du roman moderne ? Deleuze la condense sous une formule empruntée à Butor : « raconter plusieurs histoires à la fois ». Ce procédé, en rapport étroit avec l’expérimentation dans les arts plastiques, se fonde sur une imagination transcendantale nouvelle, qui trouve ce qui la concerne en propre dans la notion de disparation, puisée chez Simondon. Cosmos en est le roman emblématique. La construction du simulacre platonicien incorporait déjà une telle disparité. Mais au lieu de montrer plusieurs perspectives, le simulacre littéraire les raconte, sous forme de séries, sur le modèle du structuralisme. Elles coexistent sans qu’aucune ait de privilège, mais n’en sont pas moins des perspectives portant sur des mondes absolument divergents. En contrepoint de Finnegans Wake, simulacre qui complique toutes les histoires du monde, les Fictions de Borges comptent sur le hasard, pour qu’une seule et même histoire raconte une infinité de dénouements.
Anamnèse, dianoématique et le telos de la philosophie. Sur la pratique de l’histoire de la philosophie par Frédéric Fruteau de Laclos
Authors: Rozakis Dimitrios
Published: December 2024

Le but de cet article est d’offrir une appréciation de l’« anamnèse », la méthode d’historiographie philosophique pratiquée par Fruteau de Laclos. Cette méthode met en cause la hiérarchisation des doctrines philosophiques courante dans la pratique et l’enseignement de l’histoire de la philosophie. Pour mesurer la nouveauté et l’ampleur de la révision historiographique proposée par Fruteau de Laclos, l’anamnèse sera contrastée avec la « dianoématique », la philosophie de l’histoire de la philosophie de Martial Gueroult qui repose aussi, à sa manière, sur une problématisation de la hiérarchie des systèmes philosophiques. Une réflexion d’inspiration aristotélicienne sur le telos de la pratique philosophique nous permettra de trancher en faveur de l’anamnèse comme une méthode capable de saisir le devenir philosophique à la fois dans son épaisseur historique et dans son ouverture vers l’avenir.
“Entre mim e a máquina” : o papel da experiência profissional em contextos em mudança pela automação e os seus contributos para pensar o futuro do trabalho
Authors: Silva Daniel
Published: December 2024

Esta tese foi desenvolvida numa altura em que a formulação de modelos de trabalho “de futuro” se intensifica, decretando a necessidade de operar um “corte”, através da tecnologia, com os modos atuais de fazer o trabalho. A investigação procurou introduzir neste debate um outro ponto de vista : o da atividade, de quem vive as transformações em contextos concretos. Na articulação de dois estudos, um no contexto da conceção dos futuros veículos automatizados e outro na indústria corticeira, a tese procurou evidenciar os modos como a experiência revela critérios passíveis de instanciar a (re)conceção das situações de trabalho. O primeiro estudo demonstra o modo como a conceção dos veículos automatizados convoca a consideração de questões que ultrapassam uma dimensão tecnológica. Por sua vez, o segundo estudo evidencia como os modos automatizados da produção “vivem” do património transpessoal de cada meio profissional, mas não sem que isto deixe de comportar custos para a preservação de si e para a sustentabilidade dos saberes. Estes resultados instigam uma reflexão sobre a renovação dos desafios éticos, epistemológicos e políticos na ação do psicólogo do trabalho.
Du contrôle disciplinaire au contrôle de soi : la sexualité dans les institutions pour jeunes filles enceintes du Plessis-Robinson (1967-1974)
Authors: Plaquevent Blanche
Published: December 2024

Cet article explore l’évolution des normes sexuelles dans deux institutions pour jeunes filles enceintes au Plessis-Robinson. Avant 1971, la sexualité est régulée par des pratiques disciplinaires sans être toutefois mentionnée explicitement dans les archives. Lors de la grève de décembre 1971 au Collège d’enseignement technique pour jeunes filles enceintes, les revendications des pensionnaires et de leurs soutiens (particulièrement le MLF) rendent visible ce régime de contrôle répressif et amènent les responsables du nouvel hôtel maternel qui ouvre en 1972 à repenser les modalités de prise en charge. Un suivi psychologique et social est mis en place et les jeunes filles sont réintégrées dans des établissements classiques. Ces transformations s’accompagnent d’une mise en discours explicite de la sexualité qui suggère le passage d’une logique de répression à une logique de responsabilité, illustrant la complexe reconfiguration des normes sexuelles qui se joue dans les années 1960-1970.
Résister aux normes de l’espace public. Les lieux des minorités sexuelles et de genre à Beyrouth
Authors: Makhlouta Jean
Published: December 2024

Malgré les fortes contraintes sociales et juridiques auxquelles elles font face au Proche-Orient, les minorités sexuelles et de genre ne renoncent pas à un droit à la ville. À travers une enquête ethnographique combinant entretiens semi-directifs et observations participantes, cet article vise à comprendre comment ces populations en position minoritaire et minorisée négocient une place dans la capitale libanaise, Beyrouth. L’analyse porte sur deux cafés-bars, fréquentés au quotidien par des minorités sexuelles et de genre, qui rendent possible la tenue de pratiques de résistance face à des normes qui restreignent leur accès à l’espace public. Ces pratiques se déroulent tant à l’intérieur qu’au seuil de ces lieux, en suivant des modalités et des temporalités spécifiques. L’espace en tant que réalité sociale et matérielle apparaît ainsi comme une ressource pour se ménager un accès à la ville. Cependant, cet accès demeure inégal selon les rapports au genre, à la classe et l’appartenance confessionnelle.
Diagnósticos sociales, patologías y heterogeneidad en la revista Anales de la Universidad Central de Ecuador, 1922-1938
Authors: Pagnotta Chiara
Published: December 2024

En este articulo pretendo indagar cómo se plasma, elabora, difunde y finalmente se reformula el debate en la revista Anales de la Universidad Central de Ecuador, acerca de las varias patologías “sociales” que afectan a Ecuador y a unos específicos grupos poblacionales identificados como heterogéneos. Se destaca al poder performativo de los informes, escritos por profesores y estudiantes de dicha universidad y publicado en la revista, y se pone de relieve la relación entre saberes expertos y diferentes poderes políticos para trasformar la sociedad, superar el supuesto estado de atraso y llevar a cabo un proceso educativo civilizatorio. El periodo objeto del análisis abarca desde las celebraciones por la Batalla de Pichincha (1922) hasta finales de los años treinta.
A estrutura da América Latina: Raúl Prebisch e os primórdios da CEPAL
Authors: Demenech Pedro
Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa o estruturalismo latino-americano entre os anos 1940 e 1950 e tem como objetivo entender a sua relação com o pensamento de Raúl Prebisch e a criação da CEPAL. Em diálogo com os estudos teóricos e a história intelectual, foram investigados alguns textos de Prebisch escritos entre o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial e o início da Guerra Fria. A partir de uma revisão historiográfica, estabelecem-se quatro momentos desta trajetória: o das sementes do estruturalismo latino-americano; o do desenvolvimento da teoria centro-periferia e dos tipos de desenvolvimento; o da teoria dos ciclos econômicos; e o do “Manifesto Latino-Americano”. A consolidação do estruturalismo latino-americano significou um marco para a América Latina, especialmente por transformações teóricas e institucionais trazidas pela CEPAL.
Alemanha em três momentos: os pilares do desenvolvimento econômico e a liderança alemã na União Europeia
Authors: Racy Joaquim , Silva Everton de Almeida , Fenerich Letícia , Dalle Bruno
Published: December 2024

Este artigo tem por objetivo explorar os possíveis pilares de sustentação da posição de liderança alemã no bloco europeu atual. Tais elementos se estabeleceriam principalmente no período do pós-Segunda Guerra, com a Economia Social de Mercado (ESM), que serviria como base para a construção de instituições que possibilitaram um processo de integração europeia e que, fundamentada na perspectiva de interdependência estimulando a cooperação internacional, favoreceria a reunificação do país na década de 1990. Este último elemento, na esteira da inserção europeia, definiria acordos políticos que delineariam um modelo econômico orientado pelas exportações. A despeito dos problemas que a situação veio a produzir, a descrição e análise de seus elementos constituintes corroboram a ideia de que o processo de desenvolvimento da Alemanha no pós-guerra, sugerindo a configuração de um projeto, serviria como base para a posição de liderança alemã no bloco europeu nos dias de hoje.
Empreiteiras sob um olhar global: notas sobre os processos de internacionalização da Construtora Norberto Odebrecht, Acciona e Dragados y Construcciones S.A. (1966 – 2014)
Authors: Moura Pedro Giovannetti
Published: December 2024

Esse trabalho traz algumas notas sobre um estudo comparativo entre os processos de internacionalização das construtoras Norberto Odebrecht, do Brasil, e das espanholas Dragados y Construcciones e Acciona, entre 1966 e 2014. Tomando por base trajetórias particulares desses grupos empresariais, projeta-se um diálogo com paradigmas de uma historiografia empresarial que não apenas dê conta de identificar pontos de convergência em práticas de internacionalização, mas que as situe sob um arco estrutural que negrite o aspecto desigual do desenvolvimento capitalista global. Para tanto, há uma combinação entre análise de bibliografia sobre o tema, documentos disponibilizados pelas empresas e relatórios produzidos por consultorias do tema. Dessa maneira, a nota de pesquisa se organiza em três seções: na primeira temos a apresentação e delimitação do problema de pesquisa; a segunda seção trata da importância de paradigmas totalizantes e globais para o estudo desses grandes grupos econômicos; por fim, a terceira seção aborda a questão das fontes.
