John Rawls e Charles Taylor: Liberalismo igualitário e comunitarismo/multiculturalismo. Um diálogo possível?
Authors: Silva Rosangela da , Bagatin Francioli
Published: January 2022

O liberalismo igualitário de John Rawls é um dos temas centrais das discussões produzidas no interior da teoria política contemporânea. Sua teoria de justiça - apresentada em sua obra Uma teoria de justiça, publicada em 1971 - foi elaborada tendo como premissa o fato de que as sociedades contemporâneas são complexas e plurais. Diante de sociedades como essas, qual seria a teoria de justiça mais adequada? Sabendo que seus indivíduos são livres, iguais e racionais, ele afirma que a as regras de associação nas referidas sociedades deveriam ser pautadas na ideia de justiça como equidade. Sua teoria suscitou um grande conjunto de debates, das mais diferentes matrizes teóricas, inclusive internamente no liberalismo. Neste trabalho será apresentada apenas uma delas, a do teórico Charles Taylor, elaborada a partir de uma vertente do comunitarismo, o multiculturalismo. As contribuições desse autor vêm no sentido de fazer uma crítica à teoria normativa rawlsiana, que é acusada de não dar conta da diversidade das sociedades, pois ainda está presa ao sujeito construído pelo iluminismo, que é adjetivado como abstrato. Taylor, por sua vez, se insere no debate, retomando o conceito de reconhecimento, debate o qual está muito associado às discussões acerca da identidade de sujeitos e grupos sociais e da valorização de suas particularidades enquanto tal.

Authors: Anjul Dadoria  , Suman Malik  , Archana Singh
Published: January 2022

Schiff base ligands are taken into consideration as an important class of ligands in coordination chemistry, as they are simply synthesized by using condensation of amine with carbonyl compounds. The chelating property of Schiff bases plays a significant role in their therapeutic activities and this could be helpful in the development of different compounds with good biological activities. Aminopyridines are an important class of heterocyclic compounds which have been significantly studied within the last decades due to their interesting therapeutic activities. They exist in isomeric forms: 2-aminopyridine, 3-aminopyridine and 4-aminopyridine. The range of their therapeutic activities has attracted the attention of many researchers. Six membered heterocyclic compounds in arrangement with aromatic moieties played an important role in designing a new class of Schiff base ligands which shows widespread biological behaviour. Present paper summarizes various therapeutic applications of some transition metal complexes of Schiff bases derived from Aminopyridines.

Authors: T. M. Usha Marya  , M. Swaminathanb
Published: January 2022

Industrial wastewater containing phenols causes significant environmental and ecological problems. Various methods such as chlorination, flocculation, adsorption etc. have been used for the degradation of phenol. But microbial degradation methods have proved to be the most effective and economical approach for the mineralization of toxic chemicals. A soil microbial strain Bacillus brevis, capable of utilizing phenol as a sole carbon source was isolated from the phenol bearing soil suspension of Briquetting and Carbonization Plant of NeyveliLignite Corporation Limited, (Tamil Nadu) and tested for its capacity to grow and degrade phenol. Based on it’s morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, the organism was found to be a Gram-positive, motile, mesophilic and rod-shaped endospore bacterium. The results indicate that the growth of the organism decreases at very high concentration of phenol. The efficiency of the organism in the degradation of substituted phenols such as o & p chlorophenols and o & p nitrophenols were compared and discussed. The degradation was highly efficient in the pH range 8 – 10. The biocatalyst obtained by immobilizing the Bacillus brevis cells on alginate beads and lignite carbon are more effective in degrading phenols.

Authors: De Oliveira Ramos Tatiana , Martins Mizael Eliege , Velozo da Silva Gleycon
Published: January 2022

In recent years, agriculture has grown considerably in Brazil and as a result, there has been a significant increase in the use of pesticides in crops. In this sense, studies have shown that one of the main causes of the disappearance of insects is directly related to the use of pesticides, which in addition to being a highly aggressive product for the environment, are also harmful to the health of individuals. Based on this assumption, the present work has as main objective to carry out a survey with the main works that describe about the effect of the use of pesticides in the reduction of insects. To carry out the study, a methodological research was used based on a literature review with reading in several books, magazines and scientific articles. After collecting the data, it was concluded that the exacerbated use of pesticides in crops contributes to the mass extinction of several insects, including bees, which are of great importance for the existence of life on the planet.

One stream of work in the digital humanities focuses on interoperability processes and the description of traditional concepts using computer-readable languages. In the case of literary studies, there has been some research into these topics, but the complexity of the knowledge domain remains an issue. This complexity is based on the different interpretations of concepts in different traditions, the use of isolated and private databases, unique applications of language and, thus, the richness of poetic information. All of this suggests the need to explore new options to represent the complexity in computer-readable language. This paper presents an ontology network designed to capture poetry domain knowledge. The ontologies in question relate to poetic works and their structural and prosodic components.
The Automatic Quantitative Metrical Analysis of Spanish Poetry with Rantanplan: A Preliminary Approach
Authors: Hernández-Lorenzo Laura , De Sisto Mirella , Pérez Álvaro , de la Rosa Javier , Ros Salvador , González-Blanco Elena
Published: January 2022

In this paper, we present a quantitative approach to Spanish poetry and versification based on the application of our own automatic metrical tool, Rantanplan, to the complete poetic works of four early modern Spanish poets. All of the poetry of these four representative authors—Garcilaso de la Vega (1503–1536), Fernando de Herrera (1534–1597), Luis de Góngora (1561–1627), and Lope de Vega (1562–1635)—was automatically processed and stress positions were extracted. Thanks to the development of a new stanza identification feature of Rantanplan, we were able to detect metrical structures as well. By completing a quantitative analysis of the stress positions, line lengths, and stanzas used by each author, we aim to model their complete metrical profiles.
Peeking Inside the Rhythmic Possibilities of the Portuguese Decassílabo
Authors: Mittmann Adiel , Esteves Gabriel , dos Santos Alckmar Luiz
Published: January 2022

The Portuguese decassílabo has a rich internal structure, which is usually analyzed in terms of the rhythmic patterns revealed by verse scansion. In this article, we aim to explore how the stress of one syllable influences another. In order to achieve this goal, we use raw rhythmic patterns, that is, ones in which stress clashes have not been resolved. To exploit these patterns, we apply three methods: tile plots, indices and graphs. Based on our investigation of a corpus of 24 poets, we find that poets who employ similar rhythmic patterns may not share the same preferences concerning stress clashes and may produce different dependence relations. Because many of the associations among syllables reflect the use of one of the two basic types of decassílabo, namely the heroic and Sapphic variants, we also propose verse classifications that are useful for understanding and comparing the works of different poets. The main conclusion of this study is that although the decassílabo has certain general features, much room remains for poets to create their own interpretations of the form.

As Condições Políticas e os Fundamentos Teológicos da Nova Direita Cristã no Brasil
Authors: Løland Ole Jakob
Published: January 2022

Jair Messias Bolsonaro venceu as eleições presidenciais de 2018 no Brasil com o apoio de quase 70% dos evangélicos e cerca de 50% dos católicos do país. Este artigo tem como objetivo explorar algumas das teologias políticas e influentes que são disseminadas por alguns dos aliados religiosos de Bolsonaro, construindo três tipologias teológicas: Sobrenaturalismo neoliberal, dualismo apocalíptico e neoconservadorismo católico. Sobrenaturalismo neoliberal, dualismo apocalíptico e neoconservadorismo católico. Além disso, argumentamos que a Nova Direita Cristã no Brasil é comparável ao fenômeno ‘the Christian Right’, típico dos Estados Unidos, devido às condições políticas e bandeiras morais semelhantes. A ascensão de Bolsonaro e a virada para a direita na política brasileira podem ser em parte entendidas como um efeito dessa nova aliança política legitimado de três forças cristãs politicamente conservadoras e suas teologias: o pentecostalismo tradicional, o neopentecostalismo e o catolicismo neoconservador. Embora haja traços autoritários dentro do que pode ser chamado a Nova Direita Cristã do Brasil, também se pode reconhecer esse fenômeno políti- co como uma contribuição à democracia brasileira.

Exploring the Knowledge and Practice of Water Conservation Measures: A Case of Low-Cost Housing Setting in South Africa
Authors: Thakur Rookmoney , Onwubu Stanley , Harris Geoffrey
Published: January 2022

The water crisis has reached a fever pitch in South Africa, with threats of ground zero and disruption of water supplies. The paper focuses on household knowledge and awareness of the water crisis and conservation efforts to reduce water consumption in a low-cost housing setting within the eThekwini municipality, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. A mixed method that consists of qualitative and quantitative phases was adopted to explore water practices. Focus group discussions were conducted with a representative sample of 22 people residing in the Waterloo area, situated north of Durban. Subsequently, the results from the discussions were used to design a questionnaire which was administered to 304 residents in the same location. Data was collected through an anonymised research questionnaire. The qualitative data was analysed using content analysis by generating codes to theme the data while descriptive analysis was performed on the quantitative data. In synthesising the results, three recurring key issues are identified, namely (1) access to knowledge; (2) community engagement as part of the solution; and (3) allocation of incentives. While participants had knowledge of water conservation practices, there was, however, a high amount of water consumption and high unaccounted water losses in the area. Although some of the participants held the view that providing incentives like free airtime and electricity could help influence water conservation, many were, however, in favour of installing water-harvesting facilities such as JoJo tanks. The study conclusively proposes economic nudging in the LCH areas as a cost-effective measure towards water conservation.

Authors: Collantes R. D. , Santos-Murgas A. , Atencio R. , Pittí J.
Published: January 2022

Objectives: To identify both the Asteraceae species found in Cerro Punta, as well as the species of the bug associated with it and to determine if it is a pest insect. Methodology: Photographs of leaves and flowers of the plant were taken and three specialists in botany were consulted for the corresponding identification. Additionally, a total of 39 specimens of the bug were collected, which were reviewed in the laboratory, consulting specialized literature and the genitalia of the male was dissected to confirm the adequate identification of the species. Results: The Asteraceae species found in Cerro Punta is Tithonia diversifolia and the bug corresponds to Stenomacra marginella (Herrich-schaeffer, 1850) (Hemiptera: Largidae). This insect has been referred to as omnivore; therefore, it cannot be considered as a pest species; although it could contribute to the balance of the agroecosystem, by serving as an alternative food for predators and parasitoids, in addition to potentially serving as a pest predator. Conclusions: The wild Asteraceae species found in Cerro Punta, Chiriquí, Panama, corresponds to Tithonia diversifolia. The predominant insect observed on this plant was Stenomacra marginella; which can be considered as a stabilizer of the agroecosystem.

Education is an attempt to change a person's circumstances from not knowing to knowing, from not being able to do to being able to do, from not acting as expected to being as expected.. Aninstitution designed for the teaching of students or students under the supervision of educators (teachers). Society is an embodiment of life with man. In society, the process of social life is the process between relationships and interactions. Society as an institution of human life also takes place the whole development of human life. Community can be interpreted as a container or terrain where the interaction of community citizens takes place. All of these are national programs that have been researched and studied for truth. In the past, schools had pluses at high status. People who are highly respected and respected schools, teachers are respected by learners and the community. In addition, the School is a formal educational institution that has an important role in developing scientific insights to every citizen who will hold education. Therefore, to make the school as one of the educational institutions requires good management of the entire academic community and get support from the community and government.
Global Communities of Difference: Chinese Identity in an Age of Anti-Asian Racism and #StopAsianHate
Authors: Vulpiani Luke
Published: January 2022

Covid-19, western Sinophobia and geopolitics are raising new questions about Chinese cultural identity, which has become an increasingly contentious terrain at the current historical moment. Stuart Hall’s work provides a way to think beyond racial, cultural and state impositions of cultural identity through ideas of self-positioning, difference and hybridity. Chinese cultural identity as difference and hybridity, however, faces real world challenges in spaces of contested identity such as Hong Kong and Taiwan, and from Sinophobia.

Chronic kidney failure is the failure of kidney function in maintaining metabolism and fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. Chronic kidney disease initially does not show significant symptoms and signs but can develop rapidly into kidney failure. Kidney disease can be prevented and treated if known earlier. One way to find out chronic kidney failure is to detect using data mining.

Iterative Dichotomiser 3 (ID3) algorithm is one of the classification methods and is a type of method that can map or separate two or more different classes. Based on the measurement of performance classification of 80% of training data from 400 data used, it shows that the accuracy value reached 96.25%. It can be concluded that the ID3 Algorithm method is feasible to be used in research predictions for chronic kidney failure.
Modelling changes in secondary inorganic aerosol formation and nitrogen deposition in Europe from 2005 to 2030

Abstract. Secondary inorganic PM2.5 particles are formed from SOx
(SO2+SO42-), NOx (NO+NO2), and
NH3 emissions, through
the formation of either ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) or
ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3). EU
limits and WHO guidelines for PM2.5 levels are
frequently exceeded in Europe, in particular in the winter months.
In addition the critical loads for eutrophication are exceeded in most
of the European continent. Further reductions in NH3
emissions and other PM precursors beyond
the 2030 requirements could alleviate some of the health
burden from fine particles and also reduce the
deposition of nitrogen to vulnerable ecosystems. Using the regional-scale EMEP/MSC-W model, we have studied the
effects of year 2030 NH3 emissions on PM2.5
concentrations and depositions
of nitrogen in Europe in light
of present (2017), past (2005), and future (2030) conditions. Our calculations
show that in Europe the formation of PM2.5 from NH3
to a large extent is limited by the ratio between the emissions
of NH3 on one hand and SOx plus NOx on
the other hand. As the ratio of
NH3 to SOx and NOx is increasing, the potential to
further curb PM2.5 levels through reductions
in NH3 emissions is decreasing.
Here we show that per gram of NH3 emissions mitigated,
the resulting reductions in PM2.5 levels simulated using 2030
emissions are about a factor of 2.6 lower than when 2005 emissions are used.
However, this ratio is lower in
winter. Thus further reductions in the NH3 emissions in winter
may have similar potential to SOx and NOx in
curbing PM2.5 levels in this season. Following the expected reductions of NH3 emission, depositions
of reduced nitrogen (NH3+NH4+) should also decrease
in Europe. However, as the reductions in NOx
emission are larger than for NH3, the fraction of total nitrogen
(reduced plus oxidised nitrogen) deposited as reduced nitrogen is
increasing and may exceed 60 % in most of Europe by 2030.
Thus the potential for future reductions in the exceedances of critical
loads for eutrophication in Europe will mainly rely on the ability to
reduce NH3 emissions.

Abstract. The European Space Agency (ESA) Earth Explorer Atmospheric Dynamics Mission Aeolus is the first satellite mission providing wind profile information on a global scale, and its wind products have been released on 12 May 2020. Here we verify and intercompare the wind observations from ESA’s satellite mission Aeolus and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) fifth generation atmospheric reanalyses (ERA5) with radiosonde (RS) observations over China, to allow a fitting application of Aeolus winds. Aeolus provides wind observations in aerosol-free (referred to as Rayleigh-clear winds) and cloudy atmospheres (Mie-cloudy winds). In terms of Aeolus and RS winds, the correlation coefficient (R) and mean difference of Rayleigh-clear (Mie-cloudy) vs RS winds are 0.94 (0.97) and −0.24 ± 7.01 (0.18 ± 4.42) m/s, respectively. The vertical profiles of wind speed differences between Aeolus and RS winds are similar to each other during ascending and descending orbits. The comparison of ECMWF winds relative to Aeolus winds provides the R and mean difference of Rayleigh-clear (Mie-cloudy) winds, which are 0.95 (0.97) and −0.16 ± 6.78 (−0.21 ± 3.91) m/s, respectively. The Rayleigh-clear and Mie-cloudy winds are very consistent with the ECMWF winds, likely due to the assimilation of Aeolus wind observations into the ECMWF analysis. Moreover, we find that among the results of comparing Aeolus with RS and ECMWF winds, a small difference between Rayleigh-clear winds relative to RS winds is appeared in the height range of 2–3 km during descending orbits. This result may be due to the high vertical velocity during the descending orbits. The mean differences between Rayleigh-clear (Mie-cloudy) winds and RS winds during the ascending and descending orbit phase are −0.07 ± 0.69 (−0.72 ± 1.48) and 0.3 ± 1.25 (0.1 ± 1.32) m/s. These small deviations indicate that the performance of Aeolus wind products may be unaffected by the orbit phase or HLOS wind conditions. In addition, the R and mean difference between ERA5 and RS zonal wind components are 0.97 and −0.46 ± 3.12 m/s, respectively. Overall, the Aeolus winds over China are similar to the RS and ECMWF winds. The findings give us sufficient confidence and information to apply Aeolus wind products in numerical weather prediction in China and in climate change research.
Sea surface temperature evolution of the North Atlantic Ocean across the Eocene-Oligocene Transition

Published: January 2022

Abstract. A major step in the long-term Cenozoic evolution toward a glacially-driven climate occurred at the Eocene Oligocene Transition (EOT), ~34.44 to 33.65 million years ago (Ma). Evidence for high latitude cooling and increased latitudinal temperature gradients across the EOT has been found in a range of marine and terrestrial environments. However, the timing and magnitude of temperature change in the North Atlantic remains highly unconstrained. Here, we use two independent organic geochemical paleo-thermometers to reconstruct sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from the southern Labrador Sea (Ocean Drilling Program – ODP Site 647) across the EOT. We find a permanent cooling step of ~3 °C (from 27 to 24 °C), between 34.9 Ma and 34.3 Ma, which is ~500 kyr prior to Antarctic glaciation. This step in SST values is asynchronous across Atlantic sites, signifiying considerable spatiotemporal variability in SST evolution. However, it is part of an overall cooling observed across sites in the North Atlantic (NA) in the 5 million years bracketing the EOT. Such cooling is unexpected in light of proxy and modelling studies suggesting the startup or strengething of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) before the EOT, which would warm the NA, although parallel Eocene CO2 decline on the decent into the Oligocene icehouse might counter this feedback. Here we show, using a published modelling study, that a reduction in atmospheric CO2 from 800 to 400 ppm is not sufficient to produce the observed cooling, if combined with NA warming from an AMOC startup, simulated here through Arctic closure from the Atlantic. Possible explanations of the apparent discrepancy are discussed and include uncertainty in the SST data, paleogeography and atmospheric CO2 boundary conditions, model weaknesses, and an earlier AMOC startup that just strengthened at the EOT. The results highlight the remaining uncertainty in many aspects of data and modelling results which need to be improved before we can draw robust conclusions of the processes acting before and across the EOT.
