Mestra de feitiçaria de graça primorosa: Análise do discurso na poesia de Nahum 3,4-6
Authors: Wandermurem Marli
Published: August 2024

O presente artigo busca analisar a construção da retórica de caráter profético exem- plificada pelo discurso de Naum. O profeta constrói a imagem da mulher, por meio da feminilização da cidade de Nínive, a prostituta sedutora que fascina por meio do feitiço. O aspecto sedutor a identifica como uma mulher má, que deve ser punida com humilhação em suas partes íntimas, caracterizada como violação sexual. O pro- feta articula seu discurso apelando para as imagens da nudez da intimidade, sobre as quais, traz a forma do castigo como oráculo de Deus. Enquanto obra literária a poesia é bela, contudo, é composta por meio de uma linguagem violenta. Para entendê-la é preciso analisa a influência da Assíria sobre a sociedade israelita e a sua interferência na cultura. A poesia se utiliza da imagem feminina provocativa para personificar a cidade que considera politicamente má e perversa. A prostituta tipifica o comporta- mento social e político de Nínive sobre as nações dominadas.
María de Magdala, testigo y profeta

Published: August 2024

El artículo analiza los principales textos canónicos y no canónicos en los que aparece la figura de María Magdalena. A partir de ello, establece los rasgos principales de esta mujer que acompañó a Jesús de Nazaret por los caminos de Galilea y fue la pri- mera testigo de su resurrección. Igualmente se contrasta esta mirada con el desborde de imaginación que su figura ha inspirado en el arte y la literatura.

Authors: Nancy Mansilla Sandra , Federico Giambroni Martín
Published: August 2024

La teología latinoamericana y su hermenéutica bíblica de liberación ofrecen valiosas pistas para comprender la lucha del pueblo Palestino, su defensa del propio territorio, el derecho a su autodeterminación y principalmente a la vida. La experiencia de nuestra lectura de la Biblia desde la realidad y desde los pobres nos tiende un puente de solidaridad, de pueblo a pueblo, que es urgente fortalecer.
Pacto y venganza de sangre en la historia del sacrificio de los hijos de Rispa y Merab
Authors: Mena-López Maricel
Published: August 2024

Teniendo en cuenta la intencionalidad de este número de RIBLA que, entre otras cosas, es una invitación a salir de los fundamentalismos bíblicos que entienden que la única salida para mediar un conflicto es la guerra santa, aprobada y abalada por un Dios sacrificial y fratricida. La autora se aproxima a la narrativa de 2Sm 1-14 analizando los pactos de sangre y venganza en contra de la casa de Saúl. Prestando especial atención a los rituales de duelo de mujeres en la antigüedad a propósito del caso Rispa y Merab, y, estableciendo un diálogo con la realidad de las mujeres palestinas hoy.
Pesadelo acordado das crianças palestinas Leituras em Zacarias 8,1-8
Authors: Alexandre Solano Rossi Luiz
Published: August 2024

O artigo procura fazer uma aproximação entre a tragédia de Gaza, que atinge prin- cipalmente as crianças, e o texto de Zacarias 8,1-8 que apresenta, diante do impe- rialismo persa, promessas de recomeço a partir do espaço público, que envolve as crianças. A praça é o local por excelência da presença de Javé. A praça será lugar para aqueles que eram impedidos de viver: velhos e velhas e meninos e meninas ocuparão seus espaços na nova cartografia de Jerusalém. Mas para tanto a própria cidade de Jerusalém precisará passar por uma profunda transformação a fim de se construir e constituir a partir da verdade e da justiça. Não mais a violência e a morte. Na praça se respira vida longa às crianças e a todos os que vivem nas periferias da existência.
otro como enemigo y la alternativa de Jesús Una tensión ineludible en las narrativas bíblicas
Authors: Míguez Néstor
Published: August 2024

A lo largo del tiempo de composición bíblica surgieron distintas trayectorias teoló- gicas en Israel. Entre ellas, propuestas de justicia y paz, pero también una corriente claramente excluyente, etnocéntrica, endogámica y agresiva hacia los pueblos cir- cundantes. En tiempos del ‘segundo Templo’ el judaísmo retornante elaboró una ‘teología de la pureza’ que, sin embargo, mantenía una alianza de hecho con los sucesivos imperios que se instalaron en la región. Vemos en esa trayectoria ‘de la pureza’ antecedentes de la política genocida que hoy despliega el estado de Israel. Esa corriente fue hegemónica en tiempos del surgimiento del cristianismo –que bus- có instalar una ética del amor y la justicia— y su principal opositor. Este artículo procura, en una visión a vuelo de pájaro, mostrar esa trayectoria y la respuesta del mesianismo de Jesús.
Descontruindo antigos preconceitos
Authors: Lopes Mercedes
Published: August 2024

Este artigo oferece informações sobre o contexto de alguns textos bíblicos que ao longo da história geram preconceitos e discriminações. Leituras fundamentalistas da Bíblia, que interpretam estes e outros textos fora dos seus contextos, justificam e estimulam rivalidades, gerando preconceitos, violências e até guerras em nome de Deus. O artigo apresenta também algumas buscas e experiências de superação de preconceitos a partir do evangelho de João.
Olor a sangre: Colonialismo, Genocidio - Una lectura de Marcos 15
Authors: Regina de Lima Silva Silvia
Published: August 2024

El artículo introduce al tema del colonialismo y el genocidio como claves de lectura de la realidad de Palestina y de los textos bíblicos. Parte de un breve recuento del genocidio en Ruanda (1994), para luego mencionar las raíces coloniales del genoci- dio en Palestina. El dolor, el sufrimiento, los asesinatos, la sangre, más que palabras, son realidades que atraviesan los cuerpos y nos desafían a releer el texto de la muerte de Jesús en el Evangelio de Marcos. Una lectura que apunta hacia la necesidad de superación de lecturas espiritualistas, teologías sacrificiales que refuerzan el indivi- dualismo y se distancian de la solidaridad y del compromiso para con las víctimas.
exvoto para Palestina, con amor y digna rabia
Authors: Miranda García Gabriela
Published: August 2024

El genocidio en Palestina es ya innombrable y el argumento bíblico que acompaña esta invasión y por lo tanto, esta guerra es inadmisible. El horror es tanto que cada vez hay menos formas de expresar este dolor y esta rabia, y hay poco que parezca significativo ante tal brutalidad y sufrimiento. Este escrito es una mínima forma de expresar el repudio, pero también de dejar la ternura, la solidaridad y formas de resistir para honrar la lucha y la firmeza del pueblo palestino. Es también una pro- puesta metodológica: hacer de un elemento de la religiosidad popular, como lo es el exvoto mexicano, un lugar de denuncia y resistencia. Es una metodología que permite hacer una demanda por el despojo de la tierra, de la cultura palestina y de las vidas humanas en manos del estado espurio de Israel. La relevancia del exvoto está en lo accesible de su mensaje y también en recuperar su memoria y uso. Hacer un exvoto para Palestina, significa hacer notar la voz de todas las personas que han sido obligadas al silencio y al despojo.
A Focal Form of Diazoxide-Resistant Congenital Hyperinsulinism with Good Response to Long-Acting Somatostatin
Authors: Hussain Suhaimi , Flanagan Sarah , Mohd Fezal Nurshafinaz Salmah
Published: August 2024

A four-year-old female who was born term via spontaneous vaginal delivery with a birth weight of 3.4 kg had an onset of persistent hypoglycaemia at the 6th hour of life. She was diagnosed with congenital hyperinsulinism based on high glucose load, negative ketone and a good response to glucagon. Genetic workup revealed the presence of ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily C Member 8 (ABCC8 genes) mutation which indicated a focal form of congenital hyperinsulinism. She was resistant to the standard dose of oral diazoxide but responded to subcutaneous somatostatin. At the age of 3 years and 6 months, multiple daily injections of somatostatin were replaced with a long-acting monthly somatostatin analogue. With the present treatment, she had better glycaemic control, normal growth and was able to stop tube feeding.
Cushing Disease in a Patient with Double Pituitary Adenomas Complicated with Diabetes Insipidus
Authors: Kang Wei Hang , Adam Ida Ilyani , A. Wahab Norasyikin
Published: August 2024

Managing a patient with both pituitary hypersecretory and hyposecretory manifestations may be perplexing. We report a 14-year-old female who presented with weight gain, polyuria and polydipsia. Biochemical results were consistent with Cushing disease with central diabetes insipidus. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging showed right adenoma with stalk thickening. The immunohistochemistry staining of both adenomas was positive for adrenocorticotropic hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, growth hormone and luteinizing hormone. Postoperatively, the patient developed panhypopituitarism with persistent diabetes insipidus. The coexistence of double adenomas can pose diagnostic and management challenges and is a common cause of surgical failure. Intraoperative evaluation is important in the identification of double or multiple pituitary adenomas in a patient presenting with multiple secretory manifestations.
Development of Visual Learning Analytic Tools to Explore Performance and Engagement of Students in Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education
Authors:   ,   9789180821773, Mohseni Zeynab (Artemis)
Published: August 2024

Schools and educational institutions collect large amounts of data about students and their learning, including text, grades, quizzes, timestamps, and other activities. However, in primary and secondary education, this data is often dispersed across different digital platforms, lacking standardized methods for collection, processing, analysis, and presentation. These issues hinder teachers and students from making informed decisions or strategic and effective use of data. This presents a significant obstacle to progress in education and the effective development of Educational Technology (EdTech) products. Visual Learning Analytics (VLA) tools, also known as Learning Analytics Dashboards (LADs), are designed to visualize student data to support pedagogical decision-making. Despite their potential, the effectiveness of these tools remains limited. Addressing these challenges requires both technical solutions and thoughtful design considerations, as explored in Papers 1 through 5 of this thesis. Paper 1 examines the design aspects of VLA tools by evaluating higher education data and various visualization and Machine Learning (ML) techniques. Paper 2 provides broader insights into the VLA landscape through a systematic review, mapping key concepts and research gaps in VLA and emphasizing the potential of VLA tools to enhance pedagogical decisions and learning outcomes. Meanwhile, Paper 3 delves into a technical solution (data pipeline and data standard) considering a secure Swedish warehouse, SUNET. This includes a data standard for integrating educational data into SUNET, along with customized scripts to reformat, merge, and hash multiple student datasets. Papers 4 and 5 focus on design aspects, with Paper 4 discussing the proposed Human-Centered Design (HCD) approach involving teachers in co-designing a simple VLA tool. Paper 5 introduces a scenario-based framework for Multiple Learning Analytics Dashboards (MLADs) development, stressing user engagement for tailored LADs that facilitate informed decision-making in education. The dissertation offers a comprehensive approach to advancing VLA tools, integrating technical solutions with user-centric design principles. By addressing data integration challenges and involving users in tool development, these efforts aim to empower teachers in leveraging educational data for improved teaching and learning experiences.

Published: August 2024

Guided bone regeneration involving the use of titanium mesh and platelet-rich fibrin could be a feasible approach in cases of severely atrophic ridges. The purpose of this case report was to present an esthetic and functional rehabilitation in the anterior maxilla with the installation of dental implants in conjunction with guided bone regeneration using titanium mesh and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF). A 60-year-old patient presented bone atrophy and partial edentulism in the anterior maxilla. After clinical and cone beam computed tomography assessment, guided bone regeneration was planned using a titanium mesh and A-PRF with xenograft bone. After 8 months of healing, the dental implants were placed with the aid of a surgical guide to obtain accurate 3-dimensional positioning. Prosthetic rehabilitation was carried out with individualized crowns. After 2 years of follow-up, radiographic analysis demonstrated a good quality and density of the bone tissue adjacent to the dental implants. No radiolucent areas were observed, and there were no clinical signs of failure. In cases of severe atrophy, using a titanium mesh and A-PRF proved to be a feasible alternative for bone reconstruction prior to dental implant placement. This approach can aid dental professionals in achieving an ideal implant positioning for rehabilitation with individualized crowns.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the bioethical issues involved in the care management of nurses working in the Family Health Strategy. Method: A qualitative study was conducted through five focus groups with 36 nurses selected in the sample. Thematic content analysis was performed based on the bioethical framework, and the synthesis was presented in a conceptual map. Results: Bioethical issues were identified in the nursing care practice, related to both specific bioethical themes and the peculiarities of the work. Additionally, challenges and facilitators that interfere with addressing these issues were identified. Final considerations: Understanding the bioethical issues involved in the care management of nurses was possible with the theoretical support of different bioethical perspectives. The identified issues relate to persistent and current themes in the field of bioethics. However, some aspects intrinsic to daily practice are still imperceptible to professionals, contributing to the difficulty of discussing bioethics in this care model.

Abstract Objective: This study evaluates the effects of sarcopenia and cachexia on the quality of life (QoL) of patients with gastrointestinal cancer during their initial cycle of chemotherapy, emphasizing the significance of computed tomography (CT) in assessing muscle mass. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, we evaluated 60 adult patients with gastrointestinal cancer who started chemotherapy between January and December of 2017. Sarcopenia was diagnosed on the basis of CT findings, and QoL was assessed with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30. Results: The mean age was 60.9 years, and 33 (55.0%) of the patients were men. Of the 60 patients, 33 (55.0%) had cachexia and 14 (23.3%) had sarcopenia. Chemotherapy significantly reduced QoL, particularly in the physical, role functioning, and social domains, with no differences between the cachexia and sarcopenia groups. Conclusion: Among patients with gastrointestinal cancer submitted to chemotherapy, the chemotherapy-induced decline in QoL does not seem to differ significantly between those with cachexia or sarcopenia, as classified by CT-measured muscle mass, and those without. However, CT-based muscle mass evaluation remains crucial for guiding customized intervention strategies. Integrating this evaluation in radiological reports can provide valuable insights for planning specific care, thus improving patient QoL during treatment.

Published: August 2024

Workplace injuries constitute a serious and growing public health concern worldwide. Despite work-related injuries being highly common, especially among workers in the manufacturing industry, their growing complexities are not adequately addressed in the current literature. Therefore this study aims to investigate the association between sociodemographic, workplace, and behavioral characteristics with work-related injuries among large-scale factory workers in Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to April 2020 with 457 workers selected from large-scale factories in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Survey data included sociodemographic characteristics, working and safety conditions, and behavioral factors as predictors of occupational injuries. A logistic regression model was fitted to estimate the probability of injury and identify its associated factors. The 12-month prevalence of work-related injuries was 25%. Most injuries occurred at midnight (8.8%). Factors associated with work-related injury were excessive working hours (OR = 3.26; 95%CI: 1.26-8.41), cigarette smoking (OR = 2.72; 95%CI: 1.22-6.08), and manual handling (OR = 2.30; 95%CI: 1.13-4.72). Use of personal protective equipment reduced the odds of injury (OR = 0.42; 95%CI: 0.21-0.83). Although our estimated prevalence of occupational injury was lower than that found in other studies, our findings suggest that actions on modifiable conditions must be taken to reduce the burden of workplace injuries in Ethiopia. The results could inform preparedness and policy efforts aimed at improving worker safety and health.

Abstract: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and identify social factors and preventive strategies associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in socio and economically vulnerable people (recyclable waste pikers, immigrants/refugees, and homeless people) in Goiânia, Goiás State, Central-Western Brazil. A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2020 to October 2020. COVID-19 positivity was defined as a positive total anti-SARS-COV-2 antibody test and/or RNA test for SARS-COV-2. Univariable and multiple regression analyses were performed to identify the variables associated with COVID-19. Of the 594 participants, 47.3% were recyclable waste pickers, 29.6% were immigrants/refugees, and 23.1% were homeless people. The positivity for SARS-CoV-2 RNA was 14.1%, whereas for anti-SARS-CoV-2 a total of 30.8% were positive, and 39.4% were positive for at least one COVID-19 marker. Among the 541 individuals, being immigrants/refugees, not wearing a surgical mask, and having three or more people sleeping in the same room were associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, while using TV news as the main source of information about the pandemic was a protective predictor of COVID-19. This study revealed ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence of COVID-19 among impoverished people in Brazil. Additionally, a high prevalence of COVID-19 was detected in all three groups. Developing new strategies to combat and prevent communicable diseases affecting this population is essential for mitigating future and ongoing pandemics.
CHOLECYSTECTOMY WITH INTRAOPERATIVE ENDOSCOPIC RETROGRADE CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY: DOES THE ORDER MATTER?
Authors: Castelan Filho João de Bona , Zapelini Arthur Pizzolatti , Cacciatori Felipe Antônio , Zilberstein Bruno
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The recommended treatment for cholecystocholedocholithiasis is cholecystectomy (CCT) associated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). CCT with intraoperative ERCP is associated with higher success rates and lower hospital stays and hospital costs. However, some case series do not describe the exact methodology used: whether ERCP or CCT was performed first. AIMS: Verify if there is a difference, in terms of outcomes and complications, when intraoperative ERCP is performed immediately before or after CCT. METHODS: This is a retrospective case-control study analyzing all patients who underwent CCT with intraoperative ERCP between January 2021 and June 2022, in a tertiary hospital in southern Brazil, for the treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis. RESULTS: Out of 37 patients analyzed, 16 (43.2%) underwent ERCP first, immediately followed by CCT. The overall success rate for the cannulation of the bile duct was 91.9%, and bile duct clearance was achieved in 75.7% of cases. The post-ERCP pancreatitis rate was 10.8%. When comparing the "ERCP First" and "CCT First" groups, there was no difference in technical difficulty for performing CCT. The "CCT First" group had a higher rate of success in bile duct cannulation (p=0.020, p<0.05). Younger ages, presence of stones in the distal common bile duct and shorter duration of the procedure were factors statistically associated with the success of the bile duct clearance. Lymphopenia and cholecystitis as an initial presentation, in turn, were associated with failure to clear the bile duct. CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference in terms of complications and success in clearing the bile ducts among patients undergoing CCT and ERCP in the same surgical/anesthetic procedure, regardless of which procedure was performed first. Lymphopenia and cholecystitis have been associated with failure to clear the bile duct.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT Postoperative infectious complications are extremely important to surgeons and the entire medical care team. Among these complications, surgical site infection (SSI) appears to be one of the earliest and most prevalent events and is considered an inherent complication of surgical procedures. In oncological patients submitted to resections of digestive system tumors, there is a confluence of several risk factors for SSI, making it necessary to establish measures to maximize the control of this condition to provide a better prognosis for these patients. Some risk factors for SSI are the manipulation of structures hosting the highest density of pathogenic microorganisms, such as the colon, the patient's performance status, the patient's nutritional status, the use of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, and the surgical procedure itself, which tends to last longer and be more complex than surgeries for benign conditions of the digestive system. Therefore, this review sought to provide a qualitative analysis and a summary of the literature regarding the SSI of postoperative tumor patients who underwent surgical resection and were well-structured postoperatively, to provide objective data on this problem, and alert about the well-structured needs of individualized pre-, peri-, and post-protocols to avoid the development of these events.
O triunfo do autômato: a individualização da desigualdade salarial na história do pensamento econômico
Authors: Fandiño Pedro
Published: August 2024

Resumo A desigualdade salarial é entendida, pela economia ortodoxa, a partir de um indivíduo cujas ações, insuladas e perfeitamente racionais, são invariavelmente autointeressadas. As escolhas e características produtivas desse indivíduo, sob as forças de mercado, determinariam sua remuneração. Ainda que objeto de recorrentes críticas, a perspectiva neoclássica continua a ignorar fatores sociais, alheios a essas características e escolhas. Neste artigo, investigamos as origens e a consolidação desse entendimento: quando e de que modo a sociedade foi apartada da compreensão da desigualdade salarial? O ensaio revisita o pensamento de autores da escola clássica e de precursores da teoria neoclássica com o objetivo de compreender em que medida fatores sociais eram atribuídos à determinação de salários. Concluímos que a atomização da desigualdade, estranha a pensadores clássicos, permaneceu incipiente na economia ortodoxa até meados do século XX. Examinamos o processo que levou esse entendimento a tornar-se hegemônico e elencamos fatores responsáveis por sua consolidação.

ABSTRACT: Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are nutrient-rich fruits with a high glutamic acid content, making them a suitable source for producing γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) through the action of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). LAB plays a pivotal role in lactic fermentation, enhancing the taste and nutritional value of food products, often contributing to their health benefits. This study isolated GABA-producing LAB from tomatoes and assessed their potential for producing GABA-enriched fermented tomato juice. The results indicated the isolation of 15 LAB strains from the samples of five different tomatoes. All of these strains demonstrated the capability to produce GABA, with levels ranging from 1.732 to 3.113 mg/mL, as determined using thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Through sequencing, the promising strain TO42, identified as Weissella cibaria, was selected for tomato juice fermentation. Furthermore, GABA-enriched tomato juice was successfully fermented at 15 °Brix for 72 h, resulting in the highest recorded GABA and lactic acid content of 9.185 ± 0.398 mg/mL and 13.05 ± 1.56 g/L, respectively.
Avaliação da Influência do Magnetismo Residual na Soldagem GTAW de Peças Inspecionadas pelo Método de Partículas Magnéticas

Published: August 2024

Resumo O ensaio não-destrutivo por partículas magnéticas é uma técnica amplamente utilizada na indústria para identificação de descontinuidades superficiais e subsuperficiais em materiais ferromagnéticos, tanto nas etapas de fabricação (peças semiacabadas) quanto em condições de serviço. As peças precisam ser submetidas a um campo magnético, o qual possibilita a movimentação das partículas magnéticas e o acúmulo em regiões com descontinuidades. Todavia, o magnetismo residual pode ocasionar problemas em etapas de processamento, como a soldagem e usinagem. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho se propôs a investigar o comportamento de peças que são submetidas a inspeção magnética e as possíveis consequências do magnetismo residual. As peças de diferentes composições químicas foram submetidas ao ensaio e tiveram os valores de intensidade de campo magnético medidos e passaram por etapas de soldagem (GTAW). Foi possível identificar a ocorrência, em baixa intensidade, do fenômeno de sopro magnético durante a soldagem. Por não representar um risco elevado ao resultado da solda, pôde-se concluir que, para esse caso especificamente e sob as condições estabelecidas para os experimentos, a desmagnetização após o ensaio é facultativa. A desmagnetização após os processos de soldagem pode ser explicada pelo aumento da temperatura acima do ponto de Curie.

Published: August 2024

Abstract The coastal lagoons of the Tramandaí River basin are dynamic ecosystems characterized by high biodiversity. They provide important ecosystem services, such as water supply for human consumption, industry, agriculture, animal husbandry, leisure activities, tourism and fishing. Constant increases in the human population and the use and occupation of the land around the lagoons has brought growing demands for their resources, resulting in increased pressure that compromises these ecosystems. Understanding how biological populations respond to these anthropogenic pressures is essential. This study examined whether the degree of urbanization around 23 lagoons in the Tramandaí River basin influences the size and biomass of the characid fish species Diapoma alburnum. Specimens were collected between 2009 and 2012 using standardized drag nets. All specimens were measured for standard length to determine average length (size) per lagoon, while all fish collected per lagoon were weighed together to determine average biomass per lagoon by dividing by the number of specimens. Urbanization around the lagoons was measured using satellite images representing artificial nocturnal light as a proxy for urbanization. Nocturnal light intensity was measured within 1 km, 3 km, and 5 km buffers around each lagoon. The resulting urbanization index ranged 6 – 44% for the 5 km buffer, from 3 – 55% for the 3 km buffer and 1 – 65% for the 1 km buffer. Regression analyses showed a significant positive relationship with increasing urbanization around lagoons for D. alburnum average biomass in the 3 km and 5 km buffers and for D. alburnum average length in the 3 km buffer. Although urbanization around the lagoons is not fully established, the results indicate its impact on the size and biomass of D. alburnum.

Abstract Addressing water scarcity and the need for high-quality forage in arid regions necessitates the development of efficient irrigation techniques. This study assesses the impact of various irrigation methods on the performance and irrigation water-use efficiency (IWUE) of sorghum cultivars under water-deficit conditions in a semi-arid region of Iran during the 2019 and 2020 cropping seasons. Three irrigation methods—variable alternate furrow irrigation (AFI), fixed alternate furrow irrigation (FFI), and conventional furrow irrigation (CFI)—were evaluated alongside three levels of drought stress (severe stress: I50, moderate stress: I75, and full irrigation: I100) and two sorghum cultivars. The results indicated that increasing drought stress, as well as the transition from CFI to AFI and FFI, led to reductions in metabolizable energy yield (MEY), plant height, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Conversely, there were increases in leaf-to-stem ratio, digestible organic matter, metabolizable energy content, crude protein content, and IWUE for metabolizable energy production (IWUEME). The highest MEY (211.68 GJ ha-1) was recorded under CFI×I100, albeit at the expense of maximum water consumption (7261 m3 ha-1). Meanwhile, the AFI×I50 and FFI×I50 treatments exhibited the highest IWUEME (44.46 MJ m-3) and metabolizable energy content (8.736 MJ kg-1), respectively, while conserving over 60% of water. Hybrid Speedfeed outperformed in forage yield and IWUEME, while cultivar Pegah excelled in forage quality. Transitioning from CFI to AFI or FFI resulted in decreased forage yield but improved forage quality and IWUEME. Principal component analysis revealed that leaf-to-stem ratio and plant height serve as effective indicators for assessing the nutritive value and forage yield of sorghum, respectively. Considering the overall results, cultivating the hybrid Speedfeed under AFI×I75 conditions is recommended for optimal water utilization, achieving satisfactory forage yield and quality, and enhancing IWUE.

Abstract Athropogenic changes have caused profound repercussions, which have led to a progressive degradation of natural resources. In the case of the Ecuadorian Amazon, the high rate of deforestation, changes in land use and extensive livestock management have led to low production rates with an eminent threat to the thermal comfort of ruminants. The present study aimed to contrasts how the use of SPs represents a viable option for the reconversion of extensive livestock farming. The current study compared the use of silvopastoral systems (SPs) versus a conventional pastoral system, as an alternative for the recovery of degraded areas. Therefore, under a completely randomized block design, Brachiaria decumbens was evaluated with three of treatments, such as Control = conventional pastoral, SPs1 = density 100 trees/ha-1 and SPs2 = 150 trees/ha-1. All environmental variables and bioclimatic indicators (temperature and radiant heat load: RHL) were shown to be mitigated under SPs (P < 0.001), which translates into better thermal comfort for ruminants (RHL; 638 vs. 1749 ± 40; P < 0.001). Although, the treatments affected all the agronomic variables of Brachiaria decumbens (P < 0.001 to 0.004), the month conditioned most of the chemical determinations (P < 0.001). This means that the use of SPs in the medium or long term could contribute to the recovery of pastures in degradation processes. Consequently, SPs as a clean production alternative would help improve aspects such as soil quality, agronomic yields, as well as greater nutritional quality of pastures. In any case, long-term studies should be performed to contrast our responses.
Theorizing from Habermasian notions in administration research
Authors: FAVORETO RICARDO LEBBOS , INOCÊNCIO EWERTON ROBERTO
Published: August 2024

Abstract Habermasian thought constitutes a significant reference in contemporary sociology and philosophy, permeating various fields of the social sciences, including administration, where it holds considerable potential. However, the transfer from its original loci in sociology and philosophy to different fields is not seamless and requires mediation. This article aims to demonstrate a way of mobilizing the Habermasian framework in administration research at the epistemological and methodological levels. The study employs a didactic case based on a research investigating communicative distortions in corporate sustainability reports. At the methodological level, the Habermasian framework helps to explore the procedures adopted in the didactic case, revealing the framework’s explanatory potential. This study seeks to stimulate the use of the Habermasian framework in administration research by replicating the approach introduced in this article or, more importantly, inspiring other forms of operationalizing the framework.
Pensar la organización y los estudios organizacionales desde la filosofía de la praxis
Authors: MISOCZKY MARIA CECI
Published: August 2024

Resumen Este ensayo propone una reflexión sobre los temas de la organización y los estudios organizacionales tomando las proposiciones de Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez sobre la filosofía de la praxis como fundamento. Las proposiciones del autor se encuentran sistematizadas en la primera parte del texto en lo que se refiere a las definiciones de praxis y teleología - lo que define la actividad propiamente humana -; a la relación inseparable entre teoría y práctica en la praxis; a los niveles y formas de la praxis - reiterativa y creadora, espontánea y reflexiva -; a la filosofía de la praxis. Posteriormente, con base en estos fundamentos, se realiza una reflexión sobre las teorías administrativas, las teorías organizacionales, el management como versión hegemónica en la Administración y en los Estudios Organizacionales (EO), el Análisis Organizacional entendido como actividad teórica marcadamente interpretativa y construccionista, y los Critical Management Studies. Se finaliza con una discusión sobre los EO como espacio con potencial para una praxis creadora en relación con la organización de luchas sociales liberadoras. El reto es concebir la organización como una categoría con posibilidades de contenido desarrolladas a partir de diálogos creativos y procesos de aprendizaje con el conocimiento que es producido en la praxis de organizar luchas liberadoras concretas, insertas en la materialidad de relaciones sociohistóricas.
Thinking about organization and organization studies based on the philosophy of praxis
Authors: MISOCZKY MARIA CECI
Published: August 2024

Abstract This essay proposes a reflection on the themes of organization and organizational studies, taking the propositions of Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez’s philosophy of praxis as the foundation. The author’s propositions are systematized in the first part of the text, what refers to the definitions of praxis and teleology - what defines the proper human activity - to the inseparable relationship between theory and practice in praxis; to the levels and forms of praxis - repetitive and creative, spontaneous and reflexive; to the philosophy of praxis. Based on these foundations, a reflection is made on Administrative Theories, Organizational Theories, Management as the hegemonic version in Administration and Organizational Studies (OS), Organizational Analysis understood as a predominantly interpretive and constructionist theoretical activity, and Critical Management Studies. It ends with a discussion about OS as a space with the potential for a creative praxis in relation to the organization of liberating social struggles. The challenge is to think about organization as a category with possibilities of content developed based on creative dialogues and learning processes with the knowledge produced in the praxis of organizing liberating concrete struggles embedded in material socio-historical relations.
Peripheral businesses and Miltonian thought: approaches and possibilities for organizational studies
Authors: OLIVEIRA THIAGO CUNHA DE , WANDERLEY SÉRGIO
Published: August 2024

Abstract In this theoretical essay, the general objective is to identify how the approximation between the notion of peripheral business and the Miltonian thought can add, in the theoretical aspect, to the field of organizational studies. The specific objectives are to establish theoretical approximations between the notion of peripheral business and Miltonian thought and to analyze the viability of using the notion of peripheral business as a theoretical and methodological basis for the dialectical historical materialist analysis anchored in Miltonian thought. A theoretical triangulation was carried out between the notion of peripheral business, elaborated by Márcio Sá and other researchers, and the theory of the two urban circuits of underdeveloped countries, structured by Milton Santos and based on Marxist notions. It is pointed out that there are no theoretical incompatibilities between the notion of peripheral business and Miltonian thought, and that the approximation between these perspectives tends to add to the field of organizational studies by enabling the performance of empirical analyses based on dialectical historical materialism about how organizations and subjects located in one or both of the circuits relate to each other.

RESUMO Objetivo: traduzir e adaptar culturalmente o app AmamentaCoach, originalmente desenvolvido no Brasil, para utilização por mães de prematuros no Canadá, mediante colaboração internacional de pesquisa. Método: pesquisa aplicada na modalidade de desenvolvimento tecnológico, em que foram consideradas as recomendações da Organização Mundial da Saúde para tradução e adaptação cultural de instrumentos. Cinco pesquisadoras canadenses experts em promoção da amamentação avaliaram a aparência, linguagem e conteúdo da nova versão do app. Foi utilizado um instrumento com 18 itens com opções de resposta em escala Likert indicando o grau de concordância para cada afirmação, em que 1=Strongly Disagree, 2=Disagree, 3=Neutral, 4=Agree, e 5=Strongly Agree. Resultados: na primeira rodada de avaliação, o Índice de Validade de Conteúdo total (IVC-T) foi de 0,72 e 6 dos 18 itens não alcançaram IVC-I ≥0.8. Modificaram-se 59 telas (74%) do app, especialmente quanto à linguagem e qualidade da tradução dos textos, atingindo-se IVC-T=0,87 na segunda rodada. Conclusão: o app The Breastfeeding Coach apresentou expressões ajustadas à realidade canadense, imagens significativas e novos recursos auxiliares próprios do Canadá. Alterações no conteúdo e atenuações no padrão retórico textual, instadas pelas diferenças culturais na relação enfermeiro-cliente e no papel da mulher nessas duas distintas sociedades, buscaram coerência com a realidade das práticas de amamentação no Canadá.
