Marxismo y existencialismo
Authors: Grande Yañez Miguel
Published: November 2024

Este estudio se centra en el alcance existencialista del pensamiento de Marx, tanto en la vertiente del trabajo como ejecución sobre la naturaleza como en el vivir feliz de la sociedad comunista. Y para aclarar esta entraña marxista relaciona su existencialismo con el de Sartre y el de Heidegger. Todos estos autores proponen un principio inicial en la reflexión filosófica asentado en la existencia en la vida más allá de ideas esenciales y sustanciales. Pero en Sartre domina el existencialismo arraigado en la subjetividad, y en el caso de Heidegger el existencialismo se desmaterializa en el ser existente aislado del ente. En cualquier caso, el pensamiento de Marx es novedoso al construir una filosofía para la praxis en que las ideas son posteriores y arrinconadas frente a la materia.
Effect of farmyard manure and humic acid on growth and yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: Bera B , Bokado K , Barkha  , Bag A G , Naga T T R
Published: November 2024

The research work was established to determine the effect of farmyard manure (FYM) and humic acid (HA) on growth, yield, and soil chemical properties for the sustainable production of rice. The experiment was performed in the Kharif season of 2023 at the Agronomy Farm, School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University in Phagwara, Punjab. The Split-plot design was used to set up the experiment, which consisted of sixteen treatment combinations that were replicated thrice. The main plots included four levels of FYM (0, 5, 10, and 15 t ha-1), while the subplots comprised four levels of humic acid (0 %, 2 %, 3 %, and 4 %). The incorporation of FYM at 15 t ha-1 with a foliar spray of 4 % humic acid effectively increased growth attributing characteristics (plant height, number of tillers hill-1, root-to-shoot ratio, plant dry weight, crop growth rate, and relative growth rate) and yield of the rice compared to the other levels of farmyard manure and humic acid. Additionally, FYM significantly improved soil chemical properties such as organic carbon, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium, whereas foliar sprays of humic acid did not significantly enhance soil chemical properties. There was no interaction impact on soil chemical status. However, incorporating 15 t ha-1 FYM with a foliar spray of 4 % humic acid together could be the best nutrient management practice for long-term sustainable rice production and maintaining soil chemical properties.

Authors: Tabaka Arkadiusz
Published: November 2024

During rescue excavations carried out in 2008 in Jordanowo, Świebodzin commune, Lubuskie voivodeship, on site 7 (on the route of the planned S3 expressway), a treasure was discovered of early medieval coins loosely scattered on an area of approx. 2 m². It lay directly under the humus layer, about 40 cm deep, between the graves of an early medieval cemetery, which probably was in operation since the 2nd half of the 11th century for at least 100 years. The article presents a detailed description of the coins, including, but not limited to metrological data, production marks, traces of use, a breakdown by type and variety and references to similar finds. The discovered collection included both entire coins and pieces thereof. Prominent among them were 2 denarii of Ethelred II, 2 German denarii from the mints in Bardowicko (preserved fragment) and Soest, and an imitation of a Magdeburg denarius, as well as cross denarii (84 whole + 15 fragments) of various types according to M. Gumowski’s Corpus Nummorum Poloniae (1939). Thus, 104 coins, including 88 whole coins and 16 fragments, were recorded in the hoard weighing 88.3 g. An analysis of the coin set has made it possible to determine the deposition to the ground at the late 11th and the early 12th century.

Thermal explosions in reactive flows present an important risk to industrial engineering systems, where uncontrolled exothermic reactions can compromise safety and operational integrity. This study investigates the theoretical solutions related to thermal runaway and heat transport in a branch-chain bifurcation scenario influenced by hydromagnetic Powell–Eyring fluid flow. By incorporating factors such as current density and variable properties, we aim to enhance the safety, reliability, and efficiency of industrial operations, thus contributing to the development of more robust and sustainable systems. Notably, the fluid is characterized by active exothermic behavior under bimolecular kinetics, challenging traditional material assumptions. Utilizing a spectral collocation scheme alongside exact solutions, we derive critical parameters, including flow velocity, current density, bifurcation branch-chain criticality, entropy generation rate, and heat propagation. Our findings reveal that increased electric field conductivity significantly enhances the current density along the channel walls, driven by the combined effects of the Frank–Kamenetskii term and electric field loading. Furthermore, understanding thermal explosions and branched-chain reactions is essential for preventing engine failures, underscoring the practical implications of this research in industrial contexts.
Renalase protects against podocyte injury by inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis in diabetic nephropathy
Authors: Wu Yiru , Feng Yiduo , Yu Yue , Bai Yu , Diao Zongli , Liu Wenhu
Published: November 2024

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) presents a significant public health challenge due to its high rate of incidence and severe health consequences. Renalase has been identified as having renal-protective properties. A key contributor to albuminuria in DN patients is podocyte loss. The function of Renalase in DN in relation to podocyte activity needs to be explored further. In this study, we assessed the therapeutic efficacy of Renalase by monitoring changes in urine protein levels and podocyte health in db/db mice. We also induced hyperglycemia (HG) to stimulate podocyte clone 5 (MPC5) cells to create a model of podocyte loss in DN. Through co-culturing these cells with Renalase or H2O2, we investigated the process by which Renalase prevents podocyte loss in vitro. In db/db mice, Renalase expression was significantly reduced, and adenoviral-mediated Renalase expression markedly alleviated DN symptoms and proteinuria. Furthermore, podocytopathy in db/db mice was significantly mitigated. In vitro, Renalase improved the expression of podocyte marker proteins, podocin, and nephrin, which are reduced by HG, as well as decreased oxidative stress and restrained apoptosis. Our findings suggest that Renalase can mitigate DN by reducing proteinuria through podocyte protection, potentially by inhibiting oxidative stress and apoptosis. These data suggest that Renalase may serve as a novel therapeutic agent in suppressing DN.
Combination effect of flavonoids attenuates lung cancer cell proliferation by inhibiting the STAT3 and FAK signaling pathway
Authors: Wan Pei , Li Xingru , Guo Shiqi , Zhao Xiangling
Published: November 2024

Lung cancer is considered the most ubiquitous malignant form of cancer, and the current treatment strategies do not offer effective outcomes to the patients. The present study examined the effectiveness of natural drugs delphinidin (DN) and oroxylin A (OA) in inhibiting the development of lung cancer cells (A549) through the blocking of the Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) intervene signaling pathways. These included cytotoxicity assessments, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, apoptotic morphological features, mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), nuclear fragmentation, and cell cycle analysis. Furthermore, the combination of DN and OA treatments on the expression of STAT-3, FAK, and various proliferation and apoptotic proteins was studied using western blotting. The results we have obtained are that the combination of DN and OA causes significant cytotoxicity, ROS, alteration of ΔΨm, and nuclear fragmentation, resulting in apoptosis of A549 cells. Furthermore, A549 cells treated with DN and OA concurrently displayed increased cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. Additionally, the combined DN and OA treatment inhibited the expression of STAT3 and FAK, suppressing proliferation and the induction of pro-apoptotic protein expressions in A549 cells. Thus, a combination of DN and OA could be used as a therapeutical approach to malignant forms of lung cancer.

In the realm of nanotechnology, the synthesis of nanoparticles using environmentally benign methods, such as using plant extracts, has garnered significant attention. This work reports a simple and eco-friendly approach for the synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) utilizing microwave irradiation in the presence of lemon peel extract as a green reducing agent and Ni(CH3COO)2·2H2O as a precursor. Numerous analytical techniques were employed to determine the optical, morphological, and structural properties of the green-synthesized NiO NPs. The findings revealed that the resulting NiO NPs are pure, with an average size of 34 nm and a spherical geometry, possessing a face-centered-cubic crystalline structure. The antibacterial activities of the NiO NPs were preliminarily investigated against Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella typhimurium). The morphological changes in B. subtilis and S. typhimurium were also evaluated by FE-SEM analysis, which showed that some cells were partially damaged and distorted in shape upon treatment with NiO NPs, thus demonstrating their promising antibacterial activities.

Published: November 2024

Background

Bladder cancer, a significant health concern worldwide, often necessitates diverse surgical interventions and postoperative treatments. Understanding the complications arising from these procedures is vital for enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.

Methods

This study encompassed 80 bladder cancer patients, evaluating their demographic characteristics, systemic conditions, cancer stages, tumor diameter, surgical procedures, and postoperative treatments. The occurrences and types of complications were meticulously documented, alongside the duration and clinical outcomes of these complications. Different surgical procedures were analyzed to discern their respective complication rates.

Results

In all 80 patients, infections (43.75%) emerged as the most common, followed by bladder spasms (16.25%). Notably, complications varied among different surgical procedures, with infection, bladder spasms, and bleeding being prominent in various cases. The correlation analysis did not demonstrate correlation (r = 0.13, p = 0.26) between bladder cancer stage and duration of complication. Post-treatment interventions, especially anti-infection therapies, showcased positive results, with the majority of patients maintaining or improving their condition after specific treatments.

Conclusion

Our study underscores the diverse landscape of postoperative complications in bladder cancer patients. The findings emphasize the importance of tailored interventions based on specific complications, cancer stages, and surgical procedures.

Published: November 2024

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one-dimensional nanomaterials exhibiting specialized structures and exceptional mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties. CNTs find application in the fabrication of composite materials, material modification, and hydrogen storage. However, their widespread adoption in material modification is challenging due to their expensive manufacturing and proclivity toward agglomeration. This review expounds the evolution and future directions of in situ growth of CNTs on fly ash substrates through chemical vapor deposition or microwave heating methods. The unique structure and composition of fly ash engenders low-carbon and environmentally friendly properties while facilitating the self-growth of CNTs on its substrate. This paper delves into the characteristics and growth mechanism of the in situ-grown CNTs, with an analysis of mechanical properties, wave absorption, friction, applications, and innovations of fly ash in situ-grown CNTs as modifiers, adsorbents, and additives. The prepared fly ash in situ-grown CNTs have various advantages such as better dispersion properties, lower carbon emissions, and reduced preparation cost, enhancing their applicability in material modification and creation.

Published: November 2024

To expand the chemotherapeutic potential of platinum complexes, different approaches have been followed, two of the most relevant being their administration as the prodrug Pt(iv) and encapsulation in nanocarriers. Herein, we demonstrate how neuromelanin may become a good bioinspiration for the synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs), combining both approaches. For this, complex PtBC reacts with sodium periodate, inducing a melanization process and the formation of nanoparticles. In vitro results on non-malignant human fibroblast cells (1Br3G), human cervical cancer, murine glioma (GL261), and human ovarian cancer confirmed its therapeutic efficacy. The role of the Pt(iv) ion on the cytotoxicity effects was confirmed by comparison with the results obtained for a family of nanoparticles obtained with nordihydroguaiaretic acid under the same experimental conditions. Finally, intranasal administration of the NPs in orthotopic glioblastoma multiforme murine models in female C57BL/6 mice showed excellent in vivo biodistribution and tolerability. Overall, this innovative approach represents a step toward more specific and less toxic therapies in the field of cancer chemotherapy.

Authors: Podruzsik Szilárd , Fertő Imre
Published: November 2024

Agri-environmental schemes (AESs) play a pivotal role in aligning agricultural practices with environmental objectives, promoting sustainable land management, and conserving biodiversity. This article presents a comprehensive synthesis of recent advancements in AES research within the European Union context, focusing on ecological, economic, and socio-political dimensions. Through a systematic review of literature published since 2013, we identify emerging trends, gaps, and research priorities, providing novel insights into AES effectiveness. We examine the factors that influence participation in AES such as biodiversity, habitat fragmentation, and agricultural ecosystem services. We also explore the economic factors influencing farmer participation, including financial incentives, income stability, and cost–benefit analysis. Furthermore, we investigate the socio-political dimensions of AES, including institutional frameworks, stakeholder engagement, and the role of trust in programme implementation. Key findings highlight the need for adaptive management strategies, incentive structures aligned with environmental objectives, and inclusive governance mechanisms to enhance AES effectiveness. Our research underscores the importance of context-specific approaches that account for farm characteristics, socio-economic factors, and institutional arrangements. Practical implications for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders are discussed, emphasizing the importance of evidence-based policymaking and iterative learning in promoting sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation.
A DIMENSÃO DA CULTURA E ESPÍRITO LIVRE (FREIE GEIST): DA SOFÍSTICA AO NIETZSCHE
Authors: De Souza Franciele Vaz
Published: November 2024

Resumo: A presente pesquisa procura estabelecer os limites que a metafísica possui, segundo o filósofo Friedrich Nietzsche, e, em que medida isso veio desde os primórdios da Grécia Antiga com os sofistas. Mesmo que contraditória, a filosofia nietzschiana possui um âmago e uma linha condutora: a cultura. Com a cultura, o filósofo alemão sempre procurou focar na centralidade do homem nas escolhas e consequências, e isso vem desde a Grécia Antiga com o advento da filosofia, mas, sobretudo, com os sofistas. O que restaram dos feitos sofísticos não são asserções positivas justamente por sua polifonia ir de frente com a perenidade do ser de Sócrates e Platão. E, precisamente o que acarretara em aspectos negativos, a atual investigação postulará as mesmas razões como impactos positivos e a importância de se ter saberes inconstantes e demasiadamente humano. Para dialogar com a sofística, vincularemos a atuação desses pensadores com o conceito de espírito livre (freie Geist) de Nietzsche.

OS FUNDAMENTOS METAFÍSICOS DE TOMÁS DE AQUINO A PARTIR DA OBRA DE ENTE ET ESSENTIA
Authors: Silva Pedro Rodolfo Fernandes , Vieira Sadoque Lee Melo
Published: November 2024

No De Ente et Essentia, obra de sua juventude, Tomás de Aquino apresenta sua metafísica de modo pedagógico e sintético. Ao conceber o ente e a essência como aquilo que primeiro é conhecido pelo intelecto, Tomás de Aquino estabelece o núcleo central de todo seu pensamento filosófico: o ser. Para essa investigação, o Aquinate define o método a ser seguido: partir das substâncias compostas, uma vez que essas são as que o conhecimento natural e espontâneo do homem capta de modo imediato, para, assim, chegar às substâncias menos acessíveis à faculdade cognitiva, isto é, às substâncias simples. No decurso do texto, Tomás apresenta os fundamentos de sua metafísica, a saber: o princípio de individuação pela matéria assinalada; a doutrina da essência absolutamente considerada; as substâncias separadas e a realidade cuja essência é o próprio ser: Deus. O presente artigo tem por objetivo investigar os principais conceitos e teses encontradas na metafísica de Tomás de Aquino a partir da obra De Ente et Essentia, investigando, também, tanto quanto possível, suas principais influências filosóficas, como Aristóteles e Avicena, que contribuíram para a fundamentação do texto do Aquinate e também para a formação e o desenvolvimento de um pensamento autônomo e original.
DECADÊNCIA, VALOR E ESGOTAMENTO EM NIETZSCHE: DA DINÂMICA DA VONTADE DE PODER À TRANSVALORAÇÃO DE TODOS OS VALORES
Authors: Silveira Rafael Gonçalves , Da Silveira Rafael Gonçalves
Published: November 2024

Resumo: Neste artigo pretendemos abordar a relação entre os conceitos de decadência (décadence), valor (verth), esgotamento (Erschöpfung) e vontade de poder (Wille zur Macht) na obra de Friedrich Nietzsche. O principal objetivo é demonstrar que estes conceitos se relacionam a partir de 1888, em vistas ao projeto nietzschiano de transvaloração de todos os valores (Umwerthung aller werthe) em O Anticristo.  Por fim, ressalto que não é possível compreender a transvaloração sem uma análise da ligação entre estes conceitos.
Ações virtuosas em Aristóteles e o valor das ações em Kant
Authors: Leal Barão Marina , Barão Marina Leal
Published: November 2024

O valor moral das ações é entendido de diferentes maneiras por grandes filósofos ao longo do tempo. Esse artigo tratará sobre como o valor moral das ações é entendido por dois dos grandes filósofos da história: Aristóteles e Immanuel Kant. Em Aristóteles as disposições para agir, sejam elas virtuosas ou viciosas, desempenham um papel central na sua teoria, em Kant é o respeito à lei moral o cerne da sua teoria. Será abordada as perspectivas éticas aristotélicas e kantianas a partir da Ethica Nicomachea[1] e da Fundamentação da Metafísica dos Costumes (GMS)[2]. O objetivo não é qualificar suas teorias éticas, apenas apontar algumas diferenças e simetrias no pensamento de Aristóteles e Kant sobre o valor moral das ações.[1] Todas as citações diretas da EN são da tradução de Marco Zingano, quando tratar-se de trecho do Tratado da Virtude Moral (I 13 a III 8). Quando a citação não estiver dentro desse tratado, usa-se a tradução em língua inglesa de Irwin (1999).[2] [2] GMS é a sigla em alemão para Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten, no português, Fundamentação da Metafísica dos Costumes.
VIRTUDE, TELEOLOGIA E DEONTOLOGIA: O UTILITARISMO DE MILL, SUAS CRÍTICAS E SUAS DEFESAS
Authors: De Souza Grégori
Published: November 2024

Temos por ideia geral de que o que se segue de uma boa intenção é uma boa ação e, por conseguinte, um bom resultado. Para identificar o locusprimário do valor moral utilizamos as teorias éticas, sejam elas pautadas na intenção, na ação produzida ou no resultado da ação. O escopo geral desse trabalho é identificar e analisar um dos principais pontos de vista éticos da filosofia moral, a saber, o utilitarismo. Para tanto, partiremos de uma diferenciação básica entre ética da virtude, ética deontológica e ética teleológica. Apresentaremos os fundamentos do utilitarismo, sobretudo aquele citado por John Stuart Mill, os argumentos de crítica e os argumentos de defesa deste como teoria ética capaz de identificar aquele locus primário.
Jacques Maritain e o Comentário de Tomás de Aquino à Ética a Nicômaco
Authors: Randazzo Gomes André Ricardo
Published: November 2024

Não faltam estudos, nem críticas, sobre o conceito proposto por Jacques Maritain (1882-1973) de filosofia moral cristã, também chamada por ele de filosofia moral adequadamente considerada. Entretanto, dificilmente se encontram estudos que se concentrem no conceito proposto por ele de filosofia moral inadequadamente considerada, também chamada por ele de filosofia moral puramente filosófica ou puramente natural. Portanto, neste artigo, pretendo examinar como Maritain, alegando inspirar-se em Tomás de Aquino, caracteriza este segundo conceito. Para isso, tomarei três obras de Maritain - Distinguir para unir ou os graus do saber, Um ensaio sobre a filosofia cristã, e Ciência e sabedoria, nunca traduzidas ao português - e estudarei as afirmações que Maritain faz sobre a filosofia moral de Aristóteles e sobre o Comentário de Tomás de Aquino à Ética a Nicômaco. Procurarei indicar, ainda que brevemente, se a caracterização que Maritain faz sobre a filosofia moral de Aristóteles é a mesma que Tomás de Aquino faz dela.
Ética dos valores: de Scanlon à tradição tomista
Authors: Ritzel Farret Julian
Published: November 2024

Este trabalho pretende, a partir da obra What We Ove to Each Other de Thomas Michael Scanlon, entender se é possível falar em uma noção de valores na ética de tradição tomista e, em havendo, que relação haveria entre esta noção e a de valores na ética de tradição kantiana, mais especificamente na obra de Scanlon. Para tanto, se toma por base a obra La verdade del derecho: justicia, orden y bien común, de Lucila Adriana Bossini e seu exame dos textos de Wild e von Hildebrand. Scanlon, nesse sentido, esboça uma descrição abstrata da estrutura da ideia de valor que contrasta com a concepção teleológica, predominante no pensamento moral de fundamento tomista. Enquanto para Wil o valor consiste em uma estrutura existencial capaz de ser caracterizada de forma coerente e inteligível, von Hildebrand, por sua vez, afirma que a resposta da vontade aos bens moralmente relevantes é que responde ao valor moral. Neste caso, a utilização da expressão valores pelos diferentes autores consultados não constitui um simples caso de polissemia. Os autores estudados além de atribuírem diferentes significados à expressão, a utilizam em estruturas absolutamente distintas, tornando, ao que tudo indica, incomunicáveis os seus pensamentos – pelo menos nesse ponto.

A REFLEXÃO DE ANSELMO DE AOSTA SOBRE A TRINDADE NO DE PROCESSIONE SPIRITUS SANCTI
Authors: Cardoso Vasconcellos Manoel Luís
Published: November 2024

Resumo:
Anselmo, um dos mais importantes filósofos medievais, em consonância com o contexto filosófico e cultural em que está inserido, entende que o objeto da fé pode e deve ser confrontado com a razão, uma vez que aquele que crê deve procurar os fundamentos de sua fé, tornando-a mais compreensível, através do esforço racional. É por isso que, no tratado De processione Spritus Sancti intenta, apoiado nas Escrituras e na Dialética, evidenciar a importância da categoria “relação” para a compreensão adequada da Santíssima Trindade, mostrando os pontos de convergência e divergência entre a Igreja latina e grega.

Modern researchers of the political history of the USSR are actively studying the working notes of Soviet leaders. These documents provide a unique insight into various aspects of Soviet history and can be a valuable source of information. In this article, the notebooks of the Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU(b), the first secretary of the Leningrad Regional Committee Andrei Zhdanov, are considered from a source study perspective. The records contain important information about the history of party building in the 1930s and 1940s, the development of ideology, the situation in Leningrad, and the relationship between the USSR and Finland. The working notes of the party leader are known in historical literature. During the period from 1990 to 2010, several works were published that quoted Zhdanov’s notes, but those references were fragmentary. The features of the source, types of records, characteristics of handwriting and writing materials have not been studied. The author examines the history of the receipt of these documents in the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History (RGASPI) and identifies their distinctive features. In the article, the entries are divided into categories according to various types, including lists of current tasks, summaries of reports, draft resolutions, decisions, letters, quotations, and brief descriptions of speeches by various figures. The author shows the development of records from 1924 to 1948, describing changes in handwriting, writing materials and the contents of documents. In conclusion, the main problems encountered during the analysis of these records are presented, and the potential for future research on this source is identified.
Old Stories, Local Attachments
Authors: Balthrop-Lewis Alda
Published: November 2024

In the context of accelerating environmental change, some scholarship in the environmental humanities suggests that contemporary environmental crises require a new story. In contrast, this article argues on behalf of old stories and local, place-based attachments. It engages the field of ‘religion and ecology’, which was shaped (among many other influences) by two US religious thinkers: Thomas Berry (1914–2009) and Thomas Merton (1915–1968). Berry famously argued that Western societies needed a new story to address environmental crises on a cosmological scale. Through close readings and historical contextualization of Berry’s ‘The New Story’ (1974) and Merton’s ‘The Wild Places’ (1968), the article aims to show that scholars of religion and ecology can put traditional materials—old stories—to use in service of contemporary aims—the defense of particular places threatened by unjust economies.

It presents a portrait of women living in rural villages and small provincial towns, highlighting their lives within the local community, family relationships, and social roles. Considerable attention is given to their participation in economic life and professional work. Special focus is placed on the strong position of women in rural environments, shaped by their roles as wives and mothers.
Bedside rounds in the hospital environment from the perspective of multiprofessional health teams
Authors: Silva Tauana Wazir Mattar e , Alves Marília , Velloso Isabela Silva Câncio , Caram Carolina da Silva , Metersky Kateryna , Oliveira Rita de Cássia
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the configuration of power relations among the multiprofessional team in the bedside round process in the hospital. Methods: Qualitative research with data analyzed through discourse analysis, based on Michel Foucault’s theoretical framework. From September to December 2022, we conducted interviews and field observations with the multiprofessional team at a hospital in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, as well as qualitative, semi-structured interviews with 37 professionals. Results: The participants pointed out that the experiences of the professionals involved in bedside rounds depend on how the physician conducts the process, and the physician-centered process makes it difficult for other professionals in the team to participate. Final considerations: The way hospitals organize bedside rounds does not promote knowledge articulation for their professionals. It hinders the circulation of power and harms interdisciplinary work in a process that maintains the physician as the main actor in clinical decisions.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the experiences of people with acquired physical disabilities regarding accessibility and social conditions; to identify nurse-led rehabilitation interventions for accessibility and social conditions; to determine nursing-sensitive indicators to improve accessibility and social conditions. Methods: a descriptive-exploratory qualitative study employed semi-structured interviews with people with acquired physical disabilities through purposive snowball sampling to address all objectives. Data analysis followed Bardin’s content analysis principles. Furthermore, objectives 2 and 3 were achieved through a reflective theoretical approach. Results: the 27 participants reported accessibility challenges, impacting activities of living and social conditions.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to develop, validate, and evaluate an educational video on the prevention and management of antineoplastic agent extravasation, aimed at nursing professionals. Methods: this methodological study was developed according to Falkembach’s theoretical framework, which outlines five phases in the production of educational video materials: analysis and planning, modeling, implementation, evaluation, and distribution. Results: content validation demonstrated agreement above the minimum threshold stipulated. The overall Content Validity Index was 90.8%, and it was 94.2% among the content and technical evaluation judges, respectively. The target audience evaluated the video positively, highlighting the importance of the content, the clarity of the language used, and the understanding of the information pertinent to the topic. Conclusions: the video proved to be an appropriate strategy for instructing interventions on the prevention and management of extravasation, with the potential to improve educational practices among nursing professionals.
Businesses against Peronism: resistance, interests, and interclass alliances within the Argentinean Economic and Social Council
Authors: von-Zeschau Juan Federico , Sánchez-Mosquera Marcial
Published: November 2024

Abstract The Economic and Social Council was created in February 2021 by the Peronist Argentine government of President Alberto Fernández to establish a neo-developmentalist agenda through an alliance with the business elite, despite a tradition of dissent and confrontation. This research focuses on the role of businesses, exploring the main factors that have conditioned the council’s ability to build such an alliance. The research, based on a combination of semi-structured interviews, informal conversations, participant observation, and the analysis of 1095 newspaper articles, shows that the large business associations were not effectively incorporated into the neo-developmentalist agenda, nor were they interested in institutionalizing the council, which would have given support to the Peronist government. The limited results of the Economic and Social Council until its decline in 2022 are partly explained by the validity of the hierarchical, extractivist, and peripheral market economy, reinforced by the fragmented and sectoral representation of the business associations and the weakness of the government to lead an institutional change. In this sense, the council reinforced extractivist and dependent corporativism.

Abstract Intergovernmental transfers play a central role in Brazilian federalism. Recent studies on the subject emphasize issues such as regional inequalities, fiscal imbalances between municipalities, revenue equalization, and the notion of the federal state as a form of emulation of the unitary state. However, there is a gap in the literature in understanding the redistributive reach of transfers in less economically developed regions. This article analyzes the redistributive effects of intergovernmental transfers in municipalities of the semi-arid region compared to other Brazilian municipalities. The classification of transfers into four modalities is adopted: devolutionary, compensatory, redistributive, and conditional. The methodological procedure included secondary data collection, bibliographical research, and quantitative analysis using descriptive statistics, with the application of mean and variance comparison tests, analyses of graphs, coefficients of variation, Gini index, and correlation tests, using the 5,570 Brazilian municipalities as observational units. The results confirm the following hypotheses: devolutionary and compensatory transfers do not contribute to equalizing current revenue between municipalities in the Brazilian semi-arid region and the rest of the country, tending to benefit more economically developed municipalities; redistributive transfers make little contribution to reducing disparities in current revenue between the semi-arid region and the rest of the country; and conditional transfers contribute to equalizing current revenue between the semi-arid region and the rest of the country, benefitting less developed municipalities. The results observed contribute to understanding the forms of redistribution and equalization of current revenue in Brazilian fiscal federalism.

Abstract Este artigo teve por objetivo identificar as influências percebidas dos eixos temáticos da Agenda Ambiental na Administração Pública (A3P) na consciência ambiental dos servidores públicos. Para analisar as 414 respostas de servidores públicos de uma entidade do setor de justiça que aderiu à agenda A3P, aplicou-se a técnica de modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados evidenciaram que somente os eixos “sensibilização e capacitação dos servidores” e “licitações sustentáveis” da A3P não foram estatisticamente significantes. Em contrapartida, ficou claro que os eixos “uso racional dos recursos naturais e bens públicos”, “gestão adequada dos resíduos gerados”, “qualidade de vida no ambiente de trabalho” e “construções sustentáveis” afetam, de forma positiva e estatisticamente significativa, a consciência ambiental dos servidores. Adicionalmente, verificou-se que, quando inseridas as variáveis de controle (idade, tipo de atividade e tempo de organização) no modelo, houve algumas alterações significativas, comprovando que, quanto maior a idade e o tempo de organização, maior é a percepção da importância das práticas e ações da A3P. Conclui-se, com este estudo, que é importante que os indivíduos, em âmbito organizacional, também estejam imbuídos de ações e práticas voltadas para o atingimento dos objetivos da Agenda 2030.
A study on the spatial composition of five grottos in Tanyao
Authors: Xia Huiwen , Diao Changyu
Published: November 2024

Abstract: The Yungang Grottoes are one of China’s four major grotto sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This study examines how to incorporate social rights and religious traditions into the grotto space via architecture. Focuses on three main areas: 1. An examination of the historical context surrounding the creation of the Tanyao Five Caves. 2. An exploration of the internal structure of the Tanyao Five Caves through the analysis of spatial elements, such as points, lines and surfaces. 3. At the micro level, this study incorporates human vision and perception within the cave environment, it identifies three parallel dimensions that influence spatial perception: physical, psychological and perceptual spaces. This blend contributes to the establishment of a religious ideal within the grottoes, where architecture seamlessly intertwines the divine and the human, resulting in a rich spatial experience defined by uniqueness, diversity and unity.
LIFE STORY OF SCHOOL PEDAGOGUES IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF PROFESSIONAL IDENTITY

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT: The results of a study conducted with pedagogues working in basic education in state, municipal, and private schools in the city of Curitiba and the metropolitan region, through a continuous training program, led to the objective of this article, which is to recognize the construction of their professional identity in the life stories of school pedagogues. The study, with a phenomenological hermeneutic approach (Ricoeur, 2013), analyzed the life stories of 16 pedagogues. It was observed that experiences and learnings throughout their journey, in different socialization spaces, from basic education through academic training and, primarily, professional practice, contributed to the professional identity of the school pedagogue (Libâneo, 2010; Nóvoa, 2019). The results indicate that family references, childhood experiences such as school-related play, and interactions with good teachers in basic education were important for choosing Pedagogy. In turn, experiences with colleagues in different professional contexts influenced the development of behaviors, skills, attitudes, and values that define ways of being in the profession. It is evident that learnings in both family and professional contexts influenced career choice and the way they understand and perform their roles today, that is, the elements that constitute professional identity.
Características socioeconômicas e tipologia dos municípios de pequeno porte no Brasil

Resumo A Proposta de Emenda à Constituição (PEC) 188/2019 previa a extinção dos municípios menores do que 5.000 habitantes que não cumprissem o mínimo de 10% de arrecadação própria. A partir das discussões então suscitadas, constatou-se que ainda existem poucos estudos para essas unidades, tornando este artigo relevante para o entendimento do arranjo federativo em voga. Os pequenos municípios foram, então, analisados de acordo com suas características socioeconômicas, capacidade de oferta de serviços públicos e dispersão ao longo do território, sendo classificados segundo uma tipologia originalmente criada para esse fim. Em termos socioeconômicos, não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre municípios maiores e menores do que 5.000 habitantes, enquanto, para a oferta de serviços básicos, os resultados foram modestamente melhores para aqueles de menor porte. A análise multivariada demonstrou que as tipologias encontradas vão de encontro à ideia predominante de que se trata de um grupo homogêneo e pouco significativo de municípios.

ABSTRACT Brazil has made notable advances in soil mapping compared to other Latin American countries, driven by collaborative efforts from federal agencies, research institutions, and universities. However, detailed soil maps remain limited, particularly at local scales. This study explored soil spatial variability in a coffee plantation located in the Brazilian Cerrado, assessing the effectiveness of integrating proximal and remote sensing data to create detailed soil maps that support precision agriculture. Soil samples were collected from multiple depths across the study area and analyzed for texture, fertility, and elemental composition using portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF). Additionally, terrain attributes derived from a digital elevation model were examined to understand their relationship with soil properties. Our results demonstrated that elements associated with parent material, such as Fe, Si, Ti, Al, and Ca, were more reliable indicators for distinguishing soil classes than topographic features. The dominance of Cambissolos Háplicos (CX), which have lower clay content and contain gravel, suggested a reduced need for soil amendments compared to Latossolos Vermelhos (LV), leading to potential cost savings for producers. These findings underscore the utility of pXRF in detecting soil variability and emphasize that combining proximal and remote sensing data can enhance the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural management.
