The World Health Organisation (WHO) issued child growth standards that were then implemented in all parts of the world. The content is to emphasise the importance of breastfeeding alone to babies from birth to 6 months of age, this means that babies only receive breast milk from the mother or from caregivers who are asked by the mother to breastfeed, without the addition of other liquids or solid foods, except syrups containing vitamins, supplements, minerals or drugs. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitude of breastfeeding mothers in exclusive breastfeeding at RSIA Dwi Sari Lubuk Linggau. This study uses cross sectional research methods The population in this study were all mothers who breastfeed The sample in this study were 84 respondents with purposive sampling technique. This research instrument used a questionnaire. Data analysis was univariate and bivariate.  The results showed that respondents who were less knowledgeable were (66.7) respondents' attitudes were not supportive, namely (60.7%) and respondents who did not give exclusive breastfeeding were (69%) It is hoped that health services should provide information in increasing exclusive breastfeeding.

According to prevalence data in several countries of breastfeeding such as Southeast Asia, namely 23.1% Thailand 51.2% Myanmar, and East Timor 52.2% (WHO, 2021). In Indonesia, joint care is carried out in line with the increase in breastfeeding, because it stimulates mothers to breastfeed their babies often with the rooming in technique (Sari, 2021). There is the hormone oxytocin in breastfeeding mothers, this hormone affects the psychological state of the mother because she can hug her baby so that the mother becomes calm and happy. Breast milk will also increase quickly because of the hormone so that babies who get breast milk feel more satisfied. It is known that the Relationship between Joint Care and Smooth Breast Milk Production in Mothers with Caesarean Section Partus at the Dwi Sari Mother and Child Hospital in 2024. Design of this research is descriptive correlation using a cross sectional study approach with the aim of determining the effect of joint care on the smoothness of breast milk production in post-CS mothers observed in the same time period, the number of samples in this study was rounded to 95. The sampling technique in this research was accidental sampling. Univariate Results Almost all respondents 73 (76.8%) were treated together, Most respondents 70 (73.7%) had smooth breast milk at the Dwi Sari Mother and Child Hospital in 2024. Bivariate results there is a correlation between joint care and smooth breast milk production in post-cesarean mothers at the Dwi Sari Mother and Child Hospital in 2024 with a P-value of 0.000. It is hoped that this research will equip students in learning about health science insights, as well as provide promotive and preventive efforts for managing joint care with smooth breast milk production.

The dedication of this community was carried out in RT 25, Kelurahan Sawah Lebar, Queen's High Precinct, Bengkulu City, selected because of the presence of diabetes mellitus data among the elderly that was obtained from the data of the Puskesmas Sawah Working Area of Queen the Great Precincts, Bengulu City. After conducting public interviews, the problem of diabetes mellitus in RT 25 is largely due to age factors, lack of care for blood pressure checking on a routine basis because of busy work and limited public knowledge of the principle of 3J. Students discussed with the team of field tutors, the puskesmas, the head of RT, to determine the program to be implemented. The stage of implementation of dedication to this community was conducted with interviews to the head of RT 25 and the puskesmass (CI) parties related to the problems in RT 25 Kelurahan Sawah Bharat. He then made the determination of the program of activities through FGD (Focus Group Discussion) which will be carried out to deal with the problems that exist in RT 25 Sawah Bharar. Student approval will provide a pre-test questionnaire related to principle 3J. Then the questioning session is answered to the educated community. The final stage of this activity participants were given a post-test questionnaire. The rise in public knowledge of hypertension from 47.5% to 81.6% was seen from the average pre- and post-test questionnaire scores. The result is that the adoption of the 3J principle can increase the average knowledge of the public by 81.6%. Post-decade evaluations show that people are able to understand about the adoption of the 3J principle of determining the amount of daily calorie intake, choosing the type of low-sugar food and setting a meal schedule on a regular basis. Overall, this community service program has succeeded in achieving the main goal of raising public awareness in regulating dietary patterns according to the 3J principle. With significant indicators of success in increasing knowledge in the community, as well as knowledge of how to regulate a diet with the principle of 3J in diabetes mellitus.

Translation Quality Assessment of Diaphasic Intralingual Translation: A Functionalist Approach
Authors: Hill-Madsen Aage
Published: December 2024

This article proposes a Translation Quality Assessment (TQA) framework for a particular type of intralingual translation, namely the interregisterial transformation of specialized texts into ones suitable for a lay target readership, also known as diaphasic intralingual translation. Based on a functionalist linguistic and translation-theoretical approach, this framework is designed to assess and promote registerial adequacy in diaphasic intralingual target texts. The article associates this adequacy with maximum transparency of meaning in target texts and identifies five different principles as more specific quality criteria: (1) iconicity between meanings and wordings, (2) familiarity of lexis, (3) explicitness of meanings, (4) groundedness or concreteness, and (5) coherence. These five principles are in some cases subcategorized and in all cases defined in terms of linguistic manifestations. Examples are drawn from the lay-oriented genre known as Patient Information Leaflets, i.e., the small brochures included with medicinal products that provide information and instructions to the user. Most cases include both “positive” and “negative” examples, i.e., instances of both adherence and non-adherence to a given principle. Many of the “negative” examples are followed by suggestions for improvement.
Linchamientos en México: patrones con base en evidencia
Authors: Solís Delgadillo Juan Mario , Rodríguez Zamora M.ª Guadalupe , Comas García Andreu
Published: December 2024

Los linchamientos son una cruel expresión de la justicia vecinal. Las principales aportaciones de la literatura señalan algunos factores que propician esta forma autotutelar de aplicar justicia: la precariedad, la pobreza o la incapacidad del estado para proveer seguridad; incluso se refieren a esta conducta como hechos folclóricos asociados a poblaciones rurales donde prevalecen usos y costumbres. Esta investigación recopila información de 157 linchamientos con la intención de identificar patrones de ocurrencia con base en evidencia. Los hallazgos indican que los principales factores de riesgo para morir en un linchamiento es que estos ocurran en poblaciones menores a 7000 habitantes, que la policía no intervenga y que exista una coordinación parcial entre niveles de gobierno.
Transgressão em contexto prisional: modelos teóricos, empiria e implicações para a gestão prisional
Authors: Pina Miriam , Gomes Sílvia , Quintas Jorge
Published: December 2024

A transgressão em contexto prisional é prioritária para a gestão das prisões, dada a sua relevância para a ordem e segurança, o bem-estar das pessoas em reclusão e o cumprimento dos objetivos das penas privativas de liberdade (e.g., reabilitação, reinserção social). O presente artigo apresenta uma reflexão teórica dos modelos de compreensão da transgressão em contexto prisional — os modelos da privação e da importação — para depois evidenciar como a teoria geral da tensão, que integra estes modelos, tem sido amplamente utilizada como enquadramento conceptual das evidências empíricas da pesquisa atual neste domínio. No final, reflete-se sobre as implicações destes conhecimentos na implementação de políticas de gestão da transgressão em contexto prisional.

The cell wall of human fungal pathogens plays critical roles as an architectural scaffold and as a target and modulator of the host immune response. Although the cell wall of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans is intensively studied, one of the major fibrillar components in its cell wall, β-1,6-glucan, has been largely neglected. Here, we show that β-1,6-glucan is essential for bilayered cell wall organization, cell wall integrity, and filamentous growth. For the first time, we show that β-1,6-glucan production compensates the defect in mannan elongation in the outer layer of the cell wall. In addition, β-1,6-glucan dynamics are also coordinated by host environmental stimuli and stresses with wall remodeling, where the regulation of β-1,6-glucan structure and chain length is a crucial process. As we point out that β-1,6-glucan is exposed at the yeast surface and modulate immune response, β-1,6-glucan must be considered a key factor in host–pathogen interactions.

Published: December 2024

The brain predicts regularities in sensory inputs at multiple complexity levels, with neuronal mechanisms that remain elusive. Here, we monitored auditory cortex activity during the local-global paradigm, a protocol nesting different regularity levels in sound sequences. We observed that mice encode local predictions based on stimulus occurrence and stimulus transition probabilities, because auditory responses are boosted upon prediction violation. This boosting was due to both short-term adaptation and an adaptation-independent surprise mechanism resisting anesthesia. In parallel, and only in wakefulness, VIP interneurons responded to the omission of the locally expected sound repeat at the sequence ending, thus providing a chunking signal potentially useful for establishing global sequence structure. When this global structure was violated, by either shortening the sequence or ending it with a locally expected but globally unexpected sound transition, activity slightly increased in VIP and PV neurons, respectively. Hence, distinct cellular mechanisms predict different regularity levels in sound sequences.
Minimal twister sister-like self-cleaving ribozymes in the human genome revealed by deep mutational scanning
Authors: Zhang Zhe , Hong Xu , Xiong Peng , Wang Junfeng , Zhou Yaoqi , Zhan Jian
Published: December 2024

Despite their importance in a wide range of living organisms, self-cleaving ribozymes in the human genome are few and poorly studied. Here, we performed deep mutational scanning and covariance analysis of two previously proposed self-cleaving ribozymes (LINE-1 and OR4K15). We found that the regions essential for ribozyme activities are made of two short segments, with a total of 35 and 31 nucleotides only. The discovery makes them the simplest known self-cleaving ribozymes. Moreover, the essential regions are circular permutated with two nearly identical catalytic internal loops, supported by two stems of different lengths. These two self-cleaving ribozymes, which are shaped like lanterns, are similar to the catalytic regions of the twister sister ribozymes in terms of sequence and secondary structure. However, the nucleotides at the cleavage site have shown that mutational effects on two twister sister-like (TS-like) ribozymes are different from the twister sister ribozyme. The discovery of TS-like ribozymes reveals a ribozyme class with the simplest and, perhaps, the most primitive structure needed for self-cleavage.
PfMORC protein regulates chromatin accessibility and transcriptional repression in the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum

Published: December 2024

The environmental challenges the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, faces during its progression into its various lifecycle stages warrant the use of effective and highly regulated access to chromatin for transcriptional regulation. Microrchidia (MORC) proteins have been implicated in DNA compaction and gene silencing across plant and animal kingdoms. Accumulating evidence has shed light on the role MORC protein plays as a transcriptional switch in apicomplexan parasites. In this study, using the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tool along with complementary molecular and genomics approaches, we demonstrate that PfMORC not only modulates chromatin structure and heterochromatin formation throughout the parasite erythrocytic cycle, but is also essential to the parasite survival. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) experiments suggests that PfMORC binds to not only sub-telomeric regions and genes involved in antigenic variation but may also play a role in modulating stage transition. Protein knockdown experiments followed by chromatin conformation capture (Hi-C) studies indicate that downregulation of PfMORC impairs key histone marks and induces the collapse of the parasite heterochromatin structure leading to its death. All together these findings confirm that PfMORC plays a crucial role in chromatin structure and gene regulation, validating this factor as a strong candidate for novel antimalarial strategies.

Published: December 2024

Here, we sequenced rearranged TCRβ and TCRα chain sequences in CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP), CD4+CD8- single positive (SP4) and CD4-CD8+ (SP8) thymocyte populations from the foetus and young adult mouse. We found that life-stage had a greater impact on TCRβ and TCRα gene segment usage than cell-type. Foetal repertoires showed bias towards 3’TRAV and 5’TRAJ rearrangements in all populations, whereas adult repertoires used more 5’TRAV gene segments, suggesting that progressive TCRα rearrangements occur less frequently in foetal DP cells. When we synchronised young adult DP thymocyte differentiation by hydrocortisone treatment the new recovering DP thymocyte population showed more foetal-like 3’TRAV and 5’TRAJ gene segment usage. In foetus we identified less influence of MHC-restriction on α-chain and β-chain combinatorial VxJ usage and CDR1xCDR2 (V region) usage in SP compared to adult, indicating weaker impact of MHC-restriction on the foetal TCR repertoire. The foetal TCRβ repertoire was less diverse, less evenly distributed, with fewer non-template insertions, and all foetal populations contained more clonotypic expansions than adult. The differences between the foetal and adult thymus TCR repertoires are consistent with the foetal thymus producing αβT-cells with properties and functions that are distinct from adult T-cells: their repertoire is less governed by MHC-restriction, with preference for particular gene segment usage, less diverse with more clonotypic expansions, and more closely encoded by genomic sequence.
Traditional Songs and Their Messages in the Corona Period: An Experience from Serbia
Authors:   Institute of Musicology, Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Serbia, Jovanović Jelena
Published: December 2024

Folklore in so-called secondary oral tradition, i.e., in its ‘neo-traditional’ forms, has significantly changed its performing contexts in relation to the original context of traditional songs. In Serbia, traditional melodies gained new lives primarily in urban environments – at concerts, public and, more rarely, internal/private ceremonies, and at performances connected with church holidays. In these situations, the favourite pieces were those that were considered attractive to listeners because of their specificities in structure, form, melodic and chord/harmony characteristics; the functional aspect of songs became primarily aesthetic. However, during the Covid pandemic in 2020 the experience of the female vocal ensemble Moba from Belgrade, Serbia, showed that the function of songs may return to its ritual sense. In this period, the repertoire of the group was enriched by songs that regained the feeling of togetherness with colleagues and singers from other countries, since the direct contact with them was almost disabled. New experience was gained during preparations for the concert, which is analysed in this article according to the concept of “time, place and metaphor” suggested by Timothy Rice (2003). During this period, also partly due to the songs’ structural elements and their original genres, the songs regained their original functions. This phenomenon might also be observed in the light of universal structural patterns and archetypes that conduct and arrange every human activity, according to synthetic anthropological research based on the results of the work of Levi-Strauss, Jung, Eliade, Propp, and others.

Published: December 2024

Biochar, a carbon-rich material that has attracted considerable interest in interdisciplinary research, is produced through a process known as pyrolysis, which involves the thermal decomposition of organic material in the absence of oxygen. Bamboo biochar is a specific type of biochar, manufactured from bamboo straw through carbonisation at 800 °C and subsequent filtration through a 100-mesh sieve. There is currently a lack of research into the potential benefits of bamboo biochar in improving soil quality in tea gardens. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bamboo biochar on the physicochemical properties, enzymatic activity, and microbial community structure of tea garden soils. The results demonstrate that the integration of bamboo biochar into the soil significantly enhanced the soil pH, total nitrogen, available nitrogen, total phosphorus, available phosphorus, available potassium, and slowly available potassium by 15.3%, 52.0%, 91.5%, 91%, 48.4%, 94.2%, and 107.7%, respectively. In addition, soil acid phosphatase activity decreased significantly by 52.5%. In contrast, the activities of sucrase, catalase, and β-glucosidase increased substantially by 54.0%, 68.7%, and 68.4%, respectively, when organic fertilizer and bamboo biochar were applied concurrently. Additionally, the Shannon, Simpson, and Pielou diversity indices of the microbial communities were significantly enhanced. Following the incorporation of bamboo biochar in the soil samples, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria increased significantly, whereas that of Acidobacteria decreased. Various concentrations of bamboo biochar markedly influenced microbial markers in the soil. The results of this study suggest that the application of bamboo biochar to soil may modestly improve its physicochemical properties, enzyme activity, and microbial community structure. These findings provide a foundation for future investigations on soil ecological restoration.

The experiment was conducted to find out an effective combinations and concentrations of plant growth regulators for in vitro regeneration of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, a medicinally important, zero-calorie value, sweet tasted and an antidiabetic herb. Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of BAP and NAA were used for shoot regeneration using shoot tip as explant. The highest shoot regeneration percentage (83.33%) was obtained from the MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP + 2.0 mg/l NAA followed by 72.92% of shoot regeneration from MS medium supplemented with 3.0 mg/l BAP + 3.0 mg/l NAA. The lowest percentage (29.17%) of shoot regeneration was observed in MS medium with 0 mg/l BAP + 1.0 mg/l NAA. Significant numbers of healthy and vigorous shootlets were proliferated showing normal phenotypes. The in vitro proliferated shoots were inoculated on MS medium supplemented individually with 0, 1.0, 6.0 mg/l IBA for root initiation. Among the treatments used for root initiation, the highest percentage (75%) of root formation was observed in MS medium supplemented with 6 mg/l IBA + 1.0 mg/l BAP + 2.0 mg/l NAA followed by 71.43% in MS medium with 6 mg/l IBA + 3.0 mg/l BAP + 3.0 mg/l NAA. In contrast, the lowest percentage (14.28%) of root formation was obtained in MS medium supplemented with 6 mg/l IBA + 0 mg/l BAP + 1.0 mg/l NAA. For mass production of healthy Stevia plantlets, MS media supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP + 2.0 mg/l NAA, in combination with MS media supplemented with 6 mg/l IBA + 1.0 mg/l BAP + 2.0 mg/l NAA could be used for further proliferation of the plantlets for commercial purpose.

This study aimed to manage thrips (Megalurothrips usitatus Bagnall) infestation in mung bean fields and evaluate the efficacy of different chemical insecticides and neem oil. The experiment, conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh from March to May 2020, employed a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with ten treatments, including Decis 5EC, Ripcord 10EC, Marshal 20EC, Sevin 85SP, Dursban 20EC, Neem oil, Talstar 2WP, Actara 25WG, Confidor 70WG, and an untreated control. Talstar 2WP proved to be the most effective treatment, achieving the lowest thrips population (1.25 plant⁻¹) and the highest percent reduction (93.26 %) in thrips infestation over control treatment. Talstar 2WP also produced the maximum number of flowers (16.67 plant⁻¹), pods (34.27 plot⁻¹), seeds (885.3 plant-5), seed weight (36.19 g), and the highest mung bean yield (2.05 kg/plot) compared to rest other treatments. On the other hand, Confidor 70WG showed 2nd most promising results across all parameters, while neem oil was comparatively less effective. The findings suggest that Talstar 2WP is the most effective insecticide for managing thrips infestation in mung bean, offering improved growth and yield.
Functional Peptides: Novel Tools for Controlling Plant Diseases
Authors: Dole Ayushi , Maharania Manish , Sahu Rahul , Yadav Nidhee
Published: December 2024

Chemical pesticides, which are today subject to stringent regulations and limits, are the primary means of controlling plant diseases. In terms of plant health, functional peptides are intriguing substances. Many novel synthetic and natural compounds have been found and employed in plant protection in recent years. Functional peptides are a good option among them to combat phytopathogens (Amso & Hayouka, 2019). Functional peptides are synthetic analogues or derived from living organisms, they offer new methods of action against plant diseases, making them potential biopesticide candidates. Functional peptides have long been proposed as potential antifungal and antibacterial agricultural agents (Van der Biezen, 2001). Functional peptides that target bacterial and fungal diseases have similar killing mechanisms despite their diverse sources. As summed up by numerous earlier reviews (Zasloff, 2002; Brogden, 2005; Melo et al., 2009; Bocchinfuso et al., 2011; Akalın Siben, 2014), to destroy infections, the majority of peptides target and breach the cell membrane directly. Peptides may be made available to the industry and growers on a big scale through chemical synthesis, biotechnological platforms, and natural sources. It is anticipated that a number of functional peptides may soon be offered for sale as plant disease control agents, although further research is required to confirm these peptides' effectiveness in real-world settings.
Inventando o Trabalho Sexual

Published: December 2024

Resumo: A presente contribuição é uma tradução ao português brasileiro do ensaio Inventing sex work (1997) da ativista estadunidense Carol Leigh/ Scarlot Harlot, composta a partir de sua versão em inglês e da tradução ao castelhano, La invención del Trabajo Sexual (2016) realizada por Cecilia Varela (CONICET/UBA) e Santiago Morcillo (CONICET/UNSJ). No texto, Harlot relata em primeira pessoa seu processo de formação como militante feminista nas décadas de 1970 e 1980 em diversas agrupações, notando a estigmatização com a qual as prostitutas eram tratadas nesses espaços. Essa inquietude, somada às suas próprias experiências como prostituta e à necessidade de encontrar novas maneiras de nomear a atividade laboral, a levou a cunhar, em suas intervenções feministas, os termos “trabalho sexual”, “trabalhadora do sexo” e “indústria do trabalho sexual”. Recupera-se este ensaio de grande importância para as lutas contemporâneas das trabalhadoras do sexo, além de se discutir em nota alguns aspectos do processo de tradução.

Ferienwohnungen im Fokus der Finanzverwaltung
Authors: Köster Martina
Published: December 2024

Die Statistik zu Ferienhäusern und -wohnungen in Deutschland zeigt, dass der Ferienhaus- und Ferienwohnungsmarkt in Deutschland - nicht zuletzt seit der Corona Krise - an Bedeutung zugenommen hat. Verbrachten vor der Corona-Pandemie nur ca. 12% der Befragten ihren Urlaub in einem Ferienhaus oder einer Ferienwohnung, waren es lt. einer Umfrage des Statistischen Bundesamtes im April und Mai 2020 fast 40 %. Dieser Trend scheint sich auch in der Zeit danach gefestigt zu haben. Vor diesem Hintergrund haben die Überlegungen der Steuerpflichtigen in Bezug auf eine Anschaffung einer Ferienimmobilie in Deutschland zugenommen. Nicht selten investieren Steuerpflichtige in Ferienimmobilien, um sich einerseits einen persönlichen Rückzugsort für ihre Freizeit bzw. ihren Urlaub in einer (bei ihnen) beliebten Ferienregion zu schaffen, und zum anderen sind sie durch verschiedene Investitionsmotive getrieben. So kann der Kauf einer Ferienwohnung zur Schaffung einer zusätzlichen Einnahmequelle oder als Altersvorsorge dienen, aus Sorge vor einer Inflation oder aus Steuersparmotiven heraus begründet sein. Zu beachten sind jedoch viele steuerliche Vorschriften und Besonderheiten, die beginnend bei der Anschaffung bis hin zu einem späteren Verkauf, von Bedeutung sein können.

tratamento incluiu a remoção cirúrgica do dente supranumerário, seguido de regeneração óssea guiada com LPRF autógeno e membrana de barreira para promover a neoformação óssea. A paciente foi acompanhada
clinicamente, com radiografias de controle demonstrando cicatrização satisfatória e formação de novo tecido
ósseo após seis meses. Conclui-se que a abordagem integrada, envolvendo diagnóstico por imagem detalhado e técnicas de regeneração óssea guiada, foi eficaz no manejo deste caso, assegurando recuperação funcional e estética adequada

Religious Influence And Political Power: Evangelical Engagement In Brazilian Politics During Bolsonaro's Presidency
Authors: Pereira Henrique Alonso
Published: December 2024

This research paper examines the intricate relationship between religion and politics in Brazil during Jair
Bolsonaro's presidency (2019–2022). Drawing on various scholarly analyses, it explores how evangelical and
Catholic groups played pivotal roles in shaping political discourse, promoting conservative agendas, and
influencing public policies. The study highlights three dimensions of this interaction: the moral framing of
political issues, the consolidation of evangelical power through parliamentary representation, and the
mobilization of religious values in Bolsonaro's campaign rhetoric. It argues that the alliance between religious
actors and the political right reflects a broader trend of conservative resurgence in Latin America, which mirrors
but also diverges from similar movements in the United States. By analyzing theological narratives, parliamentary actions, and public campaigns, the article contributes to understanding the implications of this religious-political nexus for democracy, social diversity, and human rights in contemporary Brazil

Published: December 2024

This study examines the impact of language differences on effective communication in multinational corporations
(MNCs) in Ghana, where over 70 languages are spoken, posing significant communication and operational
challenges. The objectives are to analyze these impacts, examine the consequences, and explore mitigation
strategies. Utilizing a systematic literature review (SLR) approach, data was collected from academic databases,
focusing on recent publications. The findings indicate that expatriates' cross-cultural communication competence
(CCC) is vital for successful business operations, as language barriers impede communication, reduce
collaboration, and exacerbate cultural differences, impacting team cohesion and operational efficiency. Effective
strategies identified include recognizing and valuing multilingual skills, fostering cultural awareness, and
leveraging multilingual managers. Recommendations for MNCs include implementing comprehensive CCC
training programs, promoting multilingual skills, enhancing cultural awareness, and utilizing digital communication tools to improve organizational effectiveness and foster an inclusive and productive work environment

Authors: Alves Jonas De Sousa , Barros Victor Paiva , Brito Zenóbia Menezes De , Kruger Juliano Milton
Published: December 2024

Este estudo aborda o tema Ética na Contabilidade, com foco nos desafios éticos enfrentados pelos profissionais
da área e nas estratégias para fomentar comportamentos éticos no exercício profissional. Delimitado a uma
revisão sistemática da produção científica em português, disponível na base de dados Google Acadêmico entre
2019 e 2024, o trabalho explora as principais questões éticas e práticas associadas à profissão contábil. O
objetivo geral foi analisar os desafios éticos na contabilidade e identificar estratégias para fomentar
comportamentos éticos na prática profissional, apoiado em objetivos específicos que incluíram a revisão da
literatura sobre dilemas éticos, a identificação de padrões nos resumos analisados, a análise dos principais
temas abordados nos artigos e a discussão de boas práticas para consolidar padrões éticos na profissão. A
justificativa do estudo está na crescente complexidade do ambiente econômico e regulatório, que exige maior
integridade dos relatórios financeiros e conduta ética dos contadores. Este contexto ressalta a relevância de
investigações que promovam a ética e a transparência, fundamentais para a reputação da profissão e para o
fortalecimento do mercado financeiro. A pesquisa, de natureza básica e exploratório-descritiva, adotou uma
abordagem qualitativa e utilizou a estratégia metodológica da pesquisa bibliográfica. A análise foi realizada a
partir de 32 artigos selecionados conforme critérios estabelecidos, com os dados tratados por meio da análise
de conteúdo segundo Bardin (2016). Os principais resultados indicaram que a ética é um tema central na
contabilidade, com destaque para os termos "ética", "código de ética" e "profissional contábil". Os temas mais
recorrentes incluem a ética na profissão, a aplicabilidade do Código de Ética Contábil, o impacto da pandemia
de COVID-19 nos desafios éticos, e a formação ética dos contadores. Constatou-se que a ética transcende o
cumprimento normativo, influenciando diretamente a credibilidade e a transparência no campo contábil.
Conclui-se que a promoção de boas práticas éticas requer esforços conjuntos de profissionais, educadores e
reguladores, além de uma constante adaptação dos códigos e normativas às demandas contemporâneas. Este
estudo contribui para o aprofundamento teórico e prático da ética na contabilidade, reforçando sua
importância como eixo estruturante da profissão e oferecendo subsídios para futuras investigações acadêmicas e melhorias na prática profissional.
Ferramentas Tecnológicas De Rastreabilidade Agropecuária
Authors: Loose Dr. Cleberson Eller , Paula Uéverton Fraga De
Published: December 2024

A concretização dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS), especialmente na erradicação da fome e
promoção da saúde, depende da segurança alimentar. A OMS estima que 600 milhões de pessoas adoecem
anualmente devido a alimentos contaminados, destacando a relevância de sistemas de rastreabilidade na cadeia
alimentar. Esses sistemas permitem o monitoramento eficiente e transparente de produtos, especialmente em
contextos de riscos sanitários, e funcionam como ferramentas de diferenciação no mercado, como observado
durante crises sanitárias, como a pandemia de COVID-19. Para tal, utilizou-se como método a revisão
integrativa, cuja pergunta de pesquisa foi delineada a partir da estratégia PIO (P: rastreabilidade I:
agropecuária O: ferramentas tecnologias). Sendo assim, 1865 artigos foram recuperados da busca nas bases de
dados e após triagem, foram selecionados 20 artigos para análise na íntegra. Os artigos demonstraram que a
adoção de tecnologias da Indústria 4.0 e 5.0, como blockchain e Internet das Coisas (IoT), oferece avanços na
rastreabilidade de produtos agropecuários, aumentando a visibilidade e a confiança na cadeia de suprimentos.
No entanto, a implementação desses sistemas enfrenta desafios técnicos e estruturais, exigindo um marco
regulatório robusto e a cooperação de entidades governamentais para garantir a eficiência e a segurança dos
dados. A adoção de sistemas de rastreabilidade depende também da percepção de viabilidade e lucratividade
pelos agricultores, com o apoio de políticas públicas que incentivem a integração dessas tecnologias desde as
fases iniciais da produção. A implementação eficaz desses sistemas pode mitigar riscos sanitários, aumentar a
confiança do consumidor e promover um sistema alimentar mais transparente, seguro e sustentável, contribuindo para um futuro mais resiliente, alinhado aos princípios dos ODS e à segurança alimentar global
Mesure Gouvernementale D’abattement Du Fret Maritime : Implications, Contributions A L’appui Au Secteur Privé – Cas Du Cameroun
Authors: Beaudelaire Yomba Djeumen
Published: December 2024

Les années 2021 et 2022 ont été marquées par une flambée des coûts du transport maritime à l’échelle mondiale.
Dans ce contexte, le Gouvernement camerounais a entrepris dès novembre 2021 de fixer un abattement de 80%
du fret maritime sur la valeur en douane des marchandises importés, à l’effet de minimiser les effets de ce choc
sur le secteur privé et plus particulièrement sur le pouvoir d’achat des ménages.
La présente étude a été réalisé en vue d’évaluer les implications d’une telle mesure sur les recettes douanières et
la comptabilisation des importations, et par ailleurs sa contribution à l’appui au secteur privé.
Sur le plan méthodologique, nous avons appliqué l’approche expérimentale pour former de façon aléatoire le
groupe des opérations bénéficiaires et le groupe de comparaison. Un échantillonnage a été effectué en utilisant
la méthode de sondage aléatoire stratifié afin d’assurer la représentativité de l’échantillon et la minimisation des
biais d’estimation éventuellement liés d’une part à la saisonnalité des importations, et d’autre part à l’orientation
géographique des marchandises (zone de provenance). Des estimations ont été effectuées pour inférer les
résultats à l’ensemble des opérations d’importations.
En guise de résultats, la mesure d’abattement a eu des implications de l’ordre de 114,8 milliards de Fcfa sur les
recettes douanières au Cameroun en 2022, représentant 12,2% des recettes que l’administration des douanes a
dû renoncer au profit du secteur privé. Cette mesure a particulièrement contribué à alléger les obligations
financières en termes de droits et taxes de douanes des opérateurs exerçant dans le Secteur du Commerce de gros
et détail et réparation des véhicules de l’ordre de 49,7 milliards de Fcfa, fabrication des produits minéraux non
métalliques (19 milliards de Fcfa), secteur du travail des grains et fabrication des produits amylacés (9,1
milliards de Fcfa), les industries de boissons (5,8 milliards de Fcfa) et le secteur de l’industrie du cacao du café
du thé et du sucre (1,98 milliards de Fcfa).
Compte tenu du fait que la décision d’abattement a exclusivement été mis en application dans le système
d’information de la Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS) indépendamment du système informatique douanier
camerounais (CAMCIS), l’approche utilisée dans cette étude est susceptible d’être adoptée pour l’évaluation de diverses décisions d’abattement ou d’exonération dont le système à l’initiative et le système de mise en œuvre sont totalement indépendant.
