As terras ancestrais dos Avá-Guarani e o Parque Nacional do Iguaçu: uma lógica do Terceiro Incluído no dialético Teko Porã.
Authors: Portanova Barros Eduardo , Borges Lied Thiago
Published: February 2025

Este artigo trata de algumas reflexões, de viés dialético pela lógica do Terceiro Incluído, sobre a contradição observável entre, de um lado, o discurso tanto de preservação quanto de proteção da natureza expresso pelo Direito Ambiental “positivado” no Brasil, e, de outro, o chamado socioambientalismo praticado e vivenciado pelos povos tradicionais, em especial o povo indígena Avá-Guarani. Para tanto, nosso foco recai no conflito – daí tem origem nossa hermenêutica da contradição - entre preservacionistas e indígenas quanto à possibilidade de acesso e uso sustentável de áreas naturais de Unidades de Conservação (UC), a exemplo do grupo de Proteção Integral, no Parque Nacional do Iguaçu (PNI), por parte dos Avá-Guarani. Consideramos, para efeito de conclusão, que os Avá-Guarani, dentro desta perspectiva, são, a despeito do “progresso” econômico e/ou social, os “verdadeiros” defensores de nossas florestas e da biodiversidade há muitos séculos.

Authors: Thuduwage Chalitha , Rathnayaka Samantha
Published: February 2025

The use of Interlocking paving stones in history has been around for more than 5,000 Years, 3,000 BC. An interlocking concrete paver is a type of paver. Segmental pavers have been used for thousands of years. The Romans built roads with them which still exist with good quality. Before the paver was made from concrete either real stone or a clay product was used. Interlock Paving Stones were very famous in Sri Lanka in history as well. SMS Holding, being the most pioneering and leading interlocking paving manufacturer and landscape solution provider, was able to serve society with its Strategic Management Systems (SMS) by transforming the paving culture of the country in a new direction. Accordingly, thorough out the journey SMS gifted the nation with plenty of novel products, and processes to nurture the interlocking paving and construction industry from time to time. The researcher has conducted a comprehensive literature survey to figure out how continuous growth can be influenced through entrepreneurial leadership, market orientation, and operational excellence. In this context, continuous growth has been examined in terms of revenue growth, production and capacity growth, and employee growth. In arriving at the outcome of continuous growth the aforementioned three key drivers can be identified as significantly impactful throughout. The presence of Skill labor shortage and government policy changes has been moderately impacting in reaching the outcome. In conducting the case study research, a conceptual framework was established from which strong theoretical backing has been provided. Both secondary and primary data were collected whereas the researcher conducted ten in-depth interviews and four focus group discussions based on the developed interview guide. The pilot studies and the few observatory visits also equally supported the validation of the findings of the study. Accordingly, there could be a further research avenue for future researchers to explain the correlation that exists between the entrepreneur’s decision and enterprise growth.

Authors: Mathews Verona E.
Published: February 2025

Orientation: There is a misalignment between the strategic goals of the public health sector, which include strengthening health systems to produce desired health outcomes, and the human resource management of the human resources for health.Research purpose: This study aimed to describe the extent and identify the factors influencing the human resource management in achieving the strategic objectives of the public health sector.Motivation for the study: Managers in the public health sector can develop interventions and effective procedures to improve alignment in the human resource management of the human resources for health to improve health outcomes.Research approach/design and method: A qualitative descriptive study design with an interpretivist approach was utlised to conduct the study. A document review and sixteen face-to-face interviews were conducted, eight human resource (HR) practitioners and eight line managers purposively selected from an urban and rural district.Main findings: The public health sector provides a unique context that requires different considerations for human resource management. Human resource managers and line managers do not only have different backgrounds and orientations but they also function in different contexts (administrative vs. clinical) in the public health sector. The factors influencing effective human resource management are as follows: the lack of capacity to implement key HR strategies in the public health sector, competing priorities and the absence of clear roles in performing human resource practices.Practical/managerial implications: There is a need to foster a partnership approach between the HR manager and line manager to provide effective human resources management as it is complex and fractured, particularly during change and decentralisation.Contribution/value-add: This article addresses the research gap on human resource management in the public health sector shifting focus from individual practices to a systems thinking approach in strengthening human resource management. It also makes a theoretical contribution by adding context to human resource management as a key requirement for implementation decision making.

Reducible suspensions of Anosov representations
Authors: Lahn Max
Published: February 2025

We study through the lens of Anosov representations the dynamical properties of reducible suspensions of linear representations of non-elementary hyperbolic groups, which are linear representations preserving and acting weakly unipotently on a proper non-zero subspace. We characterize when reducible suspensions are discrete and (almost) faithful, quasi-isometrically embedded, and Anosov. Anosov reducible suspensions correspond to points in bounded convex domains in a finite-dimensional real vector space. Stronger characterizations of such domains for symmetric Anosov representations allow us to find deformations of Borel Anosov representations which retain some but not all of the Anosov conditions and to compute examples of non-Anosov limits of Anosov representations.

Authors: González-Caballero Javier
Published: February 2025

Los problemas de salud mental en el medio laboral y su abordaje son una prioridad social y económica con un impacto desigual en las personas. Determinadas condiciones de trabajo se asocian con una mayor prevalencia. Sin embargo, la causalidad suscita un debate abierto que representa una parte del exposoma. Las intervenciones en este ámbito constituyen un elemento protector, realizándose mayoritariamente de forma individual en comparación con la mejora de las condiciones laborales, la reorganización del trabajo u otras iniciativas en favor de la salud mental. No obstante, las actuaciones mixtas con un enfoque integral reducen de forma significativa el estrés, la ansiedad, el agotamiento emocional y la depresión entre la población laboral.
En un mundo del trabajo sujeto a una transformación digital, demográfica, socioeconómica y climática, las Estrategias en materia de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo de la OIT 2024-2030, Europea 2021-2027 y Española 2023-2027 junto con las Estrategias de Salud Mental Europea 2023 y Española 2022-2026, asumen un enfoque centrado en las personas, de carácter holístico, colaborativo, con continuidad asistencial, de calidad y aplicando los protocolos y guías de práctica clínica basados en la evidencia científica. En la atención por parte del especialista en salud laboral de los problemas salud mental en las empresas, la utilización del lenguaje enfermero normalizado NANDA, NOC y NIC se traduce en un plan de cuidados destinado a lograr unos resultados adaptados a las necesidades de las personas.

Published: February 2025

Розглянуто проблему, пов'язану з точністю експериментального визначення середньоймовірного значення границі витривалості за допомогою двох методів, що ґрунтуються на комбінованому навантаженні. Цей вид навантаження передбачає поєднання або стаціонарного і нестаціонарного режимів, або двох нестаціонарних режимів при зростаючому і спадаючому навантаженнях. Точність оцінки границі витривалості за допомогою методів цієї групи багато в чому залежить від розсіювання міцностних властивостей випробуваних об'єктів, тому розглянута проблема є актуальною. Проведено аналіз точності двох методів, перший з яких заснований на випробуванні об'єктів при зростаючому та спадаючому навантаженнях, а другий – на поєднанні стаціонарного та нестаціонарного навантажень. При цьому на конкретному прикладі показано, що першому методу властива систематична помилка, яка закладена в схему проведення експерименту. Ця помилка виникає у разі, коли менш міцний об'єкт випробовують при спадаючому навантаженні від початкових напружень, що відповідають руйнуванню міцнішого об'єкта. Умовою проведення випробувань за другим методом є рівність руйнівного напруження першого об'єкта рівню напруження другого об'єкта, випробуваного при стаціонарному навантаженні. При цьому отримано співвідношення між сумарною довговічністю до руйнування першого об'єкта та довговічністю другого. Проведено аналіз цього співвідношення для двох основних рівнянь кривої втоми. Він показав, що коливання цього співвідношення залежить від вибору моделі кривої втоми, але при цьому незначно впливає на точність методу

Authors: Norris William , Spears LaJoy , Fraze Steve
Published: February 2025

School-Based Agricultural Education (SBAE) has served students with special needs for decades. The impact of Career and Technical Education (CTE), such as SBAE, can lead to higher earning potential, increased employment rates, and career exploration opportunities for students with special needs. However, many agricultural educators feel unprepared to differentiate instruction for students with special needs. This study examined SBAE teachers’ professional development needs related to special education integration. In addition, the study evaluated statistical differences in how male and female agricultural educators value the importance of special education integration and their ability to implement it into professional practice. The instrument utilized fourteen competencies needed for educators to effectively teach students with special needs. A census of (N = 204) educators in three states- New Mexico, Utah, and Montana- was conducted with a response rate of 36.27% (n = 74). The findings indicated that while SBAE teachers recognize the importance of special education, they feel unprepared to implement it effectively. Furthermore, research objective two found that male agricultural educators value the importance of special education significantly less than female educators. Based on these findings, the researchers suggest offering professional development that emphasizes the importance of special education integration into SBAE. Furthermore, research exploring SBAE’s impact on the career trajectory of students with special needs and specific strategies to maximize its effect is needed to ensure effective and efficient instruction for diverse learners.

Published: February 2025

Tujuan penulisan ini adalah menjelaskan pentingnya pendidikan agama dalam bingkai kerukunan antar umat beragama. Pendidikan agama mengajarkan untuk membangun penghargaan dan penghormatan kepada sesama, tanpa perlu melihat perbedaan yang melekat pada manusia, tak terkecuali pada wilayah perbedaan agama. Kerukunan beragama menjadi perihal penting dalam membangun keutuhan bangsa sebuah bangsa. Dalam tulisan ini ditemukan bahwa pada negara yang bercorak multi agama, konflik yang mengatasnamakan agama kerap hadir dalam lingkungan masyarakat yang ada di dalamnya. Padahal dalam ajaran agama terdapat nilai-nilai luhur yang melarang para pemeluk agama untuk terlibat konflik atas nama agama dan pendidikan agama hadir dalam rangka melerai dan mengatasi konflik tersebut. Hasil penelitian ini mengungkapkan, pendidikan agama yang diajarkan secara baik dengan mengedepankan prinsip-prinsip kemanusiaan dapat menjadi penawar bagi konflik atas nama agama dan mampu menciptakan kerukunan agama. Adapun prinsip-prinsip dari pendidikan agama yang dapat diwujudkan untuk membangun kerukunan umat beragama adalah prinsip inklusif, toleransi, dan egaliter. Kerukunan antar umat beragama dapat terwujud, manakala prinsip-prinsip tersebut diakomodir dalam pembelajaran pendidikan agama.

This research was designed to explore and examine in depth how elements in the servicescape can influence visitor interest. This study adopted a quantitative descriptive approach. Research subjects included a total of 20,400 individuals, which represents the number of visitors from January to August 2024. From this population, 100 respondents were randomly selected using the Random Sampling method. To analyze the data, this research applied a series of statistical tests, including Instrument Test, Classic Assumption Test, Simple Linear Regression, Hypothesis Test, and Coefficient of Determination Test (R²). The results of the partial test (t test) indicate that servicescape has a significant and positive influence on visiting interest. Meanwhile, the results of the coefficient of determination (R²) test show that servicescape contributes 73.30% to the variable interest in visiting, while the remaining 26.70% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study.

Agricultural waste such as goat manure and urine could be a source of environmental pollution and a source of disease if it can’t be processed into beneficial fertilizer. The use of organic fertilizers could increase plant growth and can prevent land quality degradation, but some of the weaknesses in the application of organic fertilizer are the lack of information on nutrient content and its effects on plant growth. The aim of this research is to analyse the fermentation periods for producing the highest macro nutrient in liquid organic fertilizer made from goat urine and banana stumps. The results showed that the effect of the fermentation periods gave different results of macro nutrients. The recommendation for fermentation periods required to produce the highest macro nutrient content was P2 (21 days), the percentage value of nutrients in (P2: 21 days) were Nitrogen (1.83%), Phosphorus (0.56%) and Potassium (1.20%). The research results also showed that the P4 treatment (20 mL of liquid organic fertilizer) giving the highest value on several parameters in chili (height, number of leaves, fresh weight, root length, number of flower and fruits). P1 and P3 recommended for appearance of flowers (30 DAT) and P4 recommended for stimulating fruit primordia.

Abstract. Urban floods are increasingly threatening cities across China, emphasizing the need to understand their patterns. Current flood datasets primarily offer provincial-scale insights and lack temporal continuity, which leads to a challenge to detailed analysis. To address this issue, this study introduces a machine learning framework by applying online news media as a primary data source to create a county-level dataset of urban flood events from 2000 to 2022. Using the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model, we achieved a robust performance in information extraction, with an F1 score of 0.86 and an exact match score of 0.82. Further, a combined model of bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) networks with a conditional-random-field (CRF) layer effectively identified flood locations. The dataset documents the timing and affected county areas of urban floods, revealing that a total of 2051 county-level regions have been impacted, with 7595 occurrences recorded. This coverage represents approximately 46 % of China's total land area. Our analysis reveals that the temporal trend of flooded cities in our news-based dataset broadly aligns with that in the China Flood and Drought Bulletin, despite notable differences in the magnitudes of reported events during peak years. This news-derived dataset enables the analysis of urban floods in China from both natural and societal perspectives. Temporally, flood events occur predominantly in the summer, accounting for 74 % of the total number of flooding events. Excluding the peak year 2010, there is an observable increasing trend in flood events from 2000 to 2022. Spatially, flood frequency decreases from southeast to northwest, with Guangxi Province recording the highest number of floods. From a societal perspective, some economically developed regions with high population densities, such as Jiangsu and Guangdong, exhibit decreasing flood trends. This study provides a national dataset of urban flood events in China, highlighting spatiotemporal patterns for supporting flood management, planning, and strategy development.

Objective: The goal of current investigation was to determine the impact of some drinks on saliva pH values.
Methodology: The study included 20 healthy individuals (15 females and 5 males) with different ages. Measurements after 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 minutes of drinking Cola, Pepsi, Seven Up, Shani, and Mirinda on saliva pH were determined.
Results: Very similar pH value changes happened for all drinks, with a decrease in pH within 10 minutes after drinking that return to original values after 60 minutes.
Conclusion: The studied drinks cause a decrease in salivary pH that returns to original values within 60 minutes.
Politiques des sexes : la littérature dans la zone à défendre
Authors: Turbiau Aurore
Published: February 2025

Dans les pays francophones du Nord au cours des années 1970-1980, des écrivaines réfléchissent à ce que sont les « politiques des sexes ». En problématisant certains sujets sociaux et historiques, jusqu’alors soit minorisés, voire ignorés, parce que pensés comme privés, comme de véritables sujets politiques, elles revendiquent et redéfinissent le terme de politique, en réagencent les définitions philosophiques, les zones à défendre, comme les stratégies d’investissement concret qui peuvent concerner les femmes. Le féminisme ne peut se passer de la politique de gouvernement : bien au contraire, il en attend des décisions, en exige des réformes. En même temps, il en conteste l’étroitesse philosophique et éthique, les pragmatiques jamais vraiment satisfaisantes. Le politique présenté par ces écrivaines est plus global que la politique : l’étroitesse des définitions pragmatiques de cette dernière est désignée comme sexiste. Cette même distinction est celle qui sépare leur engagement littéraire d’une écriture politique autoritaire : elle est militante, très certainement ; mais elle n’est pas partisane, et son mode d’action, fondamentalement anarchiste, est bien plus critique que didactique.
