From outlaw art to urban euphoria: Graffiti legitimization processes from within
Authors: Belinskaya Yulia , Kolokytha Olga
Published: January 2025

Graffiti has long been seen as a non-mainstream form of cultural expression and urban culture. In recent decades, graffiti and street art as communicative practices have significantly changed in terms of their symbolic meaning, aesthetic value, purpose and perception. This research explores this de-marginalization of graffiti, using as a lens the perceptions and views of the different actors involved in the processes of graffiti legitimization. It contributes to our understanding of the internal dynamics taking place during these processes, identifying attitudes and tendencies that prevail. The research identifies thematic areas contributing to graffiti legitimization and discusses the agendas and attitudes of different categories of actors that have not yet received much attention.

This paper provides an overview of the complex, 26-year-long name dispute between Macedonia/FYROM and Greece. It argues that the name talks have always been asymmetrical, with Greece dictating the terms due to its leverage over the Euro-Atlantic integration of Macedonia/FYROM. It also argues that this asymmetrical nature of the talks can be and has been mitigated by international pressure on Athens to compromise. The paper presents a strong correlation between constructive behaviour by Macedonia/FYROM and international sympathy towards its position throughout the years. This correlation indicates that the unmitigated optimism of the new Macedonian government about reaching a favourable compromise in 2018 through ‘behaving’ may not be entirely unwarranted.
A Three-Dimensional Model of Enlarging the Mnemonic Conflict: The Case of Poland Under Second Law and Justice Government

The second Law and Justice (PiS) government, in power in Poland since 2015, reintroduced memory politics atop the policymaking agenda. However, within its strategy, mnemonic policymaking has reached beyond historical policies and commemorative initiatives. PiS represents a new, previously unseen, radical type of mnemonic actor - a memory excluder. It has used politics of the past not instead of politics of the present, but as its integral part - thus past, present, and future blur into one. Most of all, it has consciously enlarged the scope of collective memory dispute in Polish society, incorporating chronologically more distant events, policymaking dimensions previously never examined from the angle of memory, and more local and personalised instances of collective memory narratives. This paper aims to explain the mnemonic tactics of the second PiS government, proposing two novel concepts for the field. First, it defines the memory excluder as a new type of mnemonic actor, and later it explains its demeanours through a complex, three-dimensional model of enlarging the mnemonic conflict. This will be done using available evidence, examples, and ethnographic research on memory politics implemented in Poland in the years 2015-2017.

Alfabetização Científica a partir de uma Sequência de Ensino Investigativo (SEI) relacionada aos impactos antrópicos no ambiente
Authors: Vázquez Dandara , Nunes Garcia Rosane
Published: January 2025

A habilidade de analisar conteúdo científico e ser capaz de entender como aquele conhecimento foi elaborado, é crucial para que cidadãos possam atuar de forma ativa e responsável na sociedade. A Alfabetização Científica (AC) possibilita que estudantes desenvolvam habilidades do saber científico, tornando-os capazes de tomar decisões cientificamente fundamentadas em seu contexto social. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi compreender como um grupo de estudantes dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental articulam conhecimentos e desenvolvem a AC, a partir de uma Sequência de Ensino Investigativo (SEI)  interdisciplinar a respeito dos impactos antrópicos  no ambiente. A metodologia foi qualitativa, estruturada como uma pesquisa-ação, organizada em três etapas: aplicação de instrumento de sondagem, planejamento e desenvolvimento da SEI e análise das produções dos estudantes para avaliação da presença dos indicadores de AC. Os resultados evidenciaram que a  SEI promoveu a AC ao propiciar aos estudantes vivências que os levaram   a se posicionar, discutir suas concepções prévias e fundamentar seus argumentos. Houve incremento de indicadores de AC após a SEI, o que demonstrou que os estudantes estabeleceram relações entre o conhecimento teórico aprendido em sala de aula, a realidade vivida e o meio ambiente no qual estão inseridos.

Structure of gut microbiocenosis in newborn children associated with ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae at the stage of nursing in a hospital condition
Authors: Ustyuzhanin A , Chistyakova G , Remizova I , Makhanyok A
Published: January 2025

Introduction. An active search is underway of strains potentially useful for probiotic preparations with vivid antagonistic properties that prevent the adhesion and proliferation of multidrug-resistant bacteria.
The aim of this study was to study the structure of the intestinal microbiocenosis of newborn children associated with ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae at the stage of nursing in a hospital.
Materials and methods. We studied fecal samples obtained from 21 newborns whose intestines were colonized by ESBL-producing strains of K. pneumoniae. The age of children ranged from 3 to 58 days (21.18+5).
Results. All samples contained DNA from bacteria of the order Enterobacterales, which is explained by the selection of fecal samples from children with K. pneumoniae identified in preliminary testing. DNA of Bifidobacterium spp. was detected in 19 out of 21 fecal samples (90.4%), while DNA of Bifidobacterium bifidum was detected in 14 cases (66.6%), Bifidobacterium animalis subsp – in 11 (52.4%). DNA of Enterococcus spp. detected in 18 samples (85.7), Staphylococcus spp. – in 13 (61.9%), Streptococcus spp. – in 11 (52%), Dialister spp./Alisonella spp./Megaspherae spp./Veillonella spp. – in 9 (42.9%), E. coli – in 2 (9.5%). DNA of Candida spp. was isolated once non-albicans, Methanobrevibacter spp. Lactobacillaceae, Erysipelotrichaceae, Clostridium perfringens gr.
Conclusion. DNA detection of Bifidobacterium spp. and ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae indicates insufficient protection of the intestinal biotope by bifidobacteria from bacteria of the ESCAPE group, which may be due to the initial colonization of K. pneumoniae, followed by the addition of bifidobacteria. At the same time, the problem of preventing the spread of infectious agents associated with the provision of medical care and their colonization of non-sterile loci in the body of a newborn child at the inpatient stage of medical care remains unresolved and requires further study and development of effective measures.

Authors: Jitjum S , Yincharoen K , Hayeeyahya W , Chemore A , Ruangrit T , Laohaprapanon S
Published: January 2025

Plants in the ginger family are globally utilized in diverse ways, varying from region to region. This study aims to compile the uses of ginger family plants by traditional healers in five districts of Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. These districts include Thung Song, Na Bon, Lan Saka, Chang Klang, and Ron Phibun, which have not been previously studied. Ten traditional healers were selected based on specific criteria. This qualitative research was conducted through semi-structured interviews combined with observations. The data were analyzed descriptively, including frequency, fidelity level (FL), and use value (UV). The study found that traditional healers use 16 species of ginger family plants, including Curcuma longa L., Zingiber ligulatum Roxb., Boesenbergia rotunda (L.) Mansf., Zingiber cassumunar Roxb., Amomum testaceum Ridl., Zingiber officinale Roscoe, Alpinia galanga (L.) Willd., Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe, Curcuma comosa Roxb., Zingiber zerumbet (L.) Roscoe ex Sm., Kaempferia galanga L., Kaempferia parviflora Wall. Ex Baker, Amomum biflorum Jack, Curcuma mangga Valeton & Zijp, Alpinia purpurata (Vieill.) K.Schum., and Etlingera coccinea (Blume) S.Sakai & Nagam. The highest FL values (100%) were found for four species, including Amomum biflorum Jack, Curcuma mangga Valeton & Zijp, Alpinia purpurata (Vieill.) K.Schum. and Etlingera coccinea (Blume) S.Sakai & Nagam. The highest UV value was found for Zingiber officinale Roscoe (0.4). Scientific evidence has identified 14 pharmacological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antifungal, gastroprotective, anthelmintic, anti-emetic, anti-platelet, antioxidant, analgesic, neuroprotective, renoprotective, aphrodisiac, anti-ulcer, antipyretic, and anti-asthma properties. These activities support the therapeutic effects used by traditional healers. Traditional healers use these ginger family plants as ingredients in polyherbal and monoherbal medicinal formulas. Ginger family plants play a crucial role in community healthcare and are employed in various ways. This constitutes a cultural heritage worthy of preservation and documentation for the benefit of global healthcare.
Ultra‐short‐term versus short‐term measures of heart rate variability in specialist police units: A pilot reliability study
Authors: Tomes Colin D. , Canetti Elisa F. D. , Schram Ben , Orr Robin
Published: January 2025

Police officers are exposed to high levels of stress. Serving on Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams is a highly demanding duty that may further increase levels of stress in police personnel. This stress may accumulate, thereby increasing allostatic load. As such, holistic stress measures may be valuable for quantifying multifactorial stress accumulation in SWAT personnel. Heart rate variability (HRV) is one field‐deployable measure that may be suitable in this context. However, with logistical challenges present in this population, determining if 30 s; rather than more the typical 5‐min ECG data collection, provides sufficient reliability may be beneficial for reducing the logistical barrier to adoption of HRV monitoring in SWAT personnel. This study compared 30‐s to 5‐min HRV analyses of ECG data obtained from 15 male SWAT personnel. Findings demonstrated good (ICC >0.8) reliability only in the VLF, HF, SD1, and SD2 HRV domains. The VLF and SD2 measures may be erroneous, as 5‐min may still insufficiently characterize these measures. However, this study confirms the robust quality of nonlinear HRV analysis, as the SD1 value demonstrated the highest ICC reported here (0.902). Therefore, while 5‐min ECGs may still preferable, the 30‐s measure may still be viable for organizations considering HRV assessment.
An introduction to the distorted Fourier transform
Authors: Ko Haram , Schlag Wilhelm
Published: January 2025

This article is intended as an introduction to the distorted Fourier transform associated with a Schrödinger operator on the line or the half-line. This versatile tool has seen numerous applications in nonlinear PDE in recent years. It typically arises in the asymptotic stability analysis of topological solitons in classical field theory, such as kinks in the sine-Gordon or ϕ
4 models. The distorted Fourier transform is also a natural technique in the analysis of dispersive equations on manifolds with symmetries. Such models appear in general relativity, for example in the study of waves on a black-hole background. While microlocal methods have proven to be powerful in such applications, the more classical Weyl–Titchmarsh spectral theory and with it, the distorted Fourier transform, continue to play an essential role in the analysis of evolution PDEs. This article explain how it can be derived from Stone’s formula, which also establishes the Plancherel and inversion theorems.
Using Linear Positioning Transducers to Improve Snatch Performance in Weightlifters
Authors: Kozub Francis M. , Walker Ash
Published: January 2025

This article examines how to use linear position transducers to support training for weightlifters performing the snatch. These commercially available devices provide valuable velocity data from the first pull, transition, and through the second pull, which all occur before the athlete rotating under the bar for the catch. Athletes benefit from this discussion given the need to maximize training repetitions before fatigue. Velocity data are useful in applying autoregulation principles before workouts and during training sessions. An individualized approach helps weightlifting coaches identify errors and avoid loss of velocity during key points in the lift. This includes determining each lifter's threshold velocities for successful lifts. Deviations from a successful lift/velocity profile (following a missed lift) help identify where errors occur or if fatigue is a factor. This is important to support technique in lifters who are not represented in the published studies. Examining velocity data in conjunction with video analysis provides information needed to prescribe auxiliary exercises or loads for pulling exercises to ensure that velocity loss is minimized. Velocity feedback helps lifters select loads for successful repetitions that produce a desired force profile and result in improved snatches contributing to higher totals during competition.

(Des)conexión y despoblación rural en España: un asunto urgente en la era de la educación digital
Authors: Santamaría-Cárdaba Noelia
Published: January 2025

Depopulation in Spanish rural municipalities is an increasingly evident issue; therefore, it is essential to investigate the causes of the drastic decline in inhabitants in these areas. This study specifically aims to verify whether Spanish villages lack digitalization, i.e. whether they have adequate ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) and LTE (Long-Term Evolution) networks, and to examine the relationship between digital access and depopulation in these areas. The methodology employed focuses on the quantitative analysis of data obtained from secondary sources, specifically the most recent information provided by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation of the Spanish Government regarding the existing coverage in the municipalities of each province in Castilla and León. The results reveal that rural areas lack adequate ADSL coverage, which may contribute to depopulation as the digital divide in these areas becomes increasingly pronounced.

Análisis de las prácticas preprofesionales en la Carrera de Trabajo Social, Sede de Occidente, UCR
Authors: Piñeiro Ruiz Doris , Arroyo Navarro Illiana
Published: January 2025

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación realizada en la Sede de Occidente de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) por dos docentes de la carrera de Trabajo Social (CTS-SO) durante el período 2019-2020. La investigación se centró en el potencial de las prácticas preprofesionales como espacios fundamentales para la articulación teórico-práctica, representando así un recurso pedagógico clave para la formación de Trabajadores y Trabajadoras Sociales. Estas prácticas permiten al estudiantado ir más allá de los conocimientos teóricos abstractos, interactuar con la realidad social desde el inicio de su formación e intervenir en ella, contribuyendo a la transformación de situaciones sociales a partir de las tres dimensiones de la intervención profesional: lo teórico-metodológico, lo técnico-operativo y lo ético-político, en pos de una práctica y calidad académica adecuada al contexto específico. La investigación adoptó una metodología cualitativa y se llevó a cabo con un grupo de estudiantes que realizaron sus prácticas de Bachillerato en Trabajo Social entre 2013 y 2018. Las principales conclusiones indican que las prácticas preprofesionales son espacios de crecimiento en los cuales el diálogo entre la formación universitaria y la realidad social fomenta una comprensión práctica de los contenidos teóricos, técnicos y ético-políticos impartidos en el aula. Además, se observó que las prácticas fortalecen en el estudiantado una visión sociocrítica sobre las necesidades de las diversas poblaciones y grupos en el país.

Reconceptualización del rol pedagógico de educadoras chilenas durante la pandemia
Authors: Romo Escudero Francisca , Pizarro Laborda Paulina , Errázuriz María Constanza
Published: January 2025

La pandemia del COVID-19 transformó las aulas de toda la educación, incluida la educación infantil, lo que obligó que las educadoras pasaran de trabajar en el aula presencial a realizar actividades a través de una pantalla. Para comprender en mayor profundidad la labor pedagógica que realizaron las educadoras en este período, el objetivo de este estudio fue explorar y describir cómo un grupo de educadoras chilenas reconceptualizaron su rol pedagógico durante la pandemia. Para analizar cómo esta experiencia vital en su vida profesional afectó sus identidades docentes debido a una situación de emergencia, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a educadoras de kínder y prekínder de escuelas públicas chilenas y, posteriormente, se analizaron a través de la teoría fundamentada. Sus resultados manifiestan que hay tres grandes roles que identifican las educadoras: en función de la relación con las familias, en función de la toma de decisiones y en función de su identidad profesional. Se analizaron dichas funciones en torno al nivel de autoeficacia de las educadoras, que, si bien en un inicio se vio disminuido debido a los abruptos cambios que se vieron enfrentadas, finalmente fue un impulso para empoderarse y no sólo educar a niños y niñas, sino también a sus familias, quienes podían llegar de manera directa a interactuar con el niño o niña en el hogar. Los desafíos enfrentados durante la pandemia se relacionan con aspectos que afectan el trabajo de las educadoras no solo en situaciones de emergencia, como la relación con las familias. De este modo, se discute cómo lo ocurrido durante la pandemia puede tener consecuencias para el trabajo de las educadoras en condiciones de normalidad.  Futuros estudios son necesarios para continuar explicando el sentido de profesionalización de las educadoras, que históricamente se ha visto aminorado por la carga de cuidado que conlleva cumplir este rol.

Published: January 2025

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo conocer la percepción sobre la virtualidad que tiene el equipo docente de la carrera Inglés con Formación en Gestión Empresarial de la Sede del Pacífico de la Universidad de Costa Rica. Esto a raíz de la fase diagnóstica del proyecto de Docencia de esa carrera: PD-D-723-2023 Reflexión sobre las prácticas en cursos virtuales de docentes de Inglés con Formación en Gestión Empresarial. Este análisis se enmarca en una metodología mixta con un diseño secuencial explicativo en el que se analiza el primer instrumento de manera cuantitativa y posteriormente se analiza un segundo instrumento de forma cualitativa mediante un análisis temático. Participan 26 docentes en el primer instrumento y 15 en el segundo, lo cual representa la cantidad total de personas docentes relacionadas a la carrera al momento de implementar cada instrumento. Entre los resultados principales destacan que el cuerpo docente comparte un concepto muy similar sobre educación virtual a la vez que presenta una actitud cada vez más positiva hacia esta, permitiendo un espacio para futuras líneas de investigación en capacitación continua en tendencias tecnológicas más recientes como la inteligencia artificial. Se concluye que, a pesar de la poca experiencia en el diseño y ejercicio de clases virtuales antes de la pandemia, el cuerpo docente valora positivamente la incursión de la virtualidad en todas las disciplinas y se recomienda su capacitación constante para maximizar sus beneficios apoyándose en los recursos institucionales, así como la socialización de los resultados de este proyecto al resto de la comunidad académica.
Computerized cognitive training for problem gambling: A randomized controlled trial (TRAIN-online)
Authors: Luquiens Amandine , Benyamina Amine , Perney Pascal , Carré Arnaud
Published: January 2025

Background

Non-face-to-face interventions offer promise, with cognitive training showing potential but inconsistent efficacy in problem gambling.

Methods

We conducted a non-face-to-face, parallel, randomized, controlled, single-blinded trial to evaluate training programs in adults with problem gambling (CPGI ≥5). Participants were randomized 1:1 to a web-based cognitive training program targeting inhibition unrelated to addiction cues or a control program on visuo-spatial functioning. Both programs benefited from weekly phone calls to support engagement and transferability to daily life. A mixed community and out-patient sample was recruited at the national-level. The primary outcome was change in CPGI at week 6. Secondary outcomes were change in impulsivity, gambling behavior and quality of life at 6 and 14 weeks.

Results

187 participants were screened, with 185 randomized: 93 to intervention and 92 to control. No significant differences were found between groups for any outcome. Mean PGSI change at 6 weeks was −2.75, 95% CI [−12.95; 7.44] in the experimental arm versus −2.44, 95% CI [−13.52; 8.64] in controls, p = 0.76. 34% of participants were classed as no longer problem gamblers at week 14. Intervention acceptability was moderate, with 21 participants (22.58%) in the experimental group, and 32 (34.78%) controls never accessing the platform (p = 0.07).

Conclusions

Further research is needed to optimize cognitive interventions in problem gambling, to improve engagement and to demonstrate their added value beyond minimal intervention. For a number of problem gamblers, minimal telephone interventions appeared to be sufficient to reduce gambling. Objective account-based gambling data will provide valuable insights into long-term and objective effects.

Social Identity and Political Preferences of First-Time Voters in the 2024 Presidential Election
Authors: Rahmiaji Lintang Ratri , Sulistyani Hapsari Dwiningtyas , Rahardjo Turnomo
Published: January 2025

Reaching voters in presidential elections frequently involves using identity politics. On the other side, first-time voters might serve as prospective targets for gaining supporters. The purpose of this study is to investigate the link between first-time voters' choices for presidential candidates and the social identities (faith, gender, and ethnicity) of presidential candidates. The main theory used to explain the relationship between social identity and political choice preferences is Social Identity Theory. This study is a quantitative survey that looks at the relationship between political candidates' social identities and the preferences of first-time voters in Indonesia in 2023. The findings of the study indicate a connection between the presidential and vice-presidential candidates' social identities and the decisions made by first-time voters. For instance, the political choices of first-time voters are directly correlated with their gender, notably whether they will accept or approve of female presidents and vice presidents. The findings of the study indicate that first-time voters are open to electing a female president. An interesting finding to highlight is how new voters tend to be open to the choice of president and vice president of other religions. The majority of first-time voters (respondents) accept presidents and vice presidents who belong to minority religions such as Catholics, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Confucians, and local religions.

Respondiendo a los desafíos de la deconstrucción teológica posmoderna con una perspectiva transmoderna.
Authors: Sampson Christopher William
Published: January 2025

La filosofía posmoderna de la deconstrucción derridiana desafía los fundamentos de la teología occidental moderna desde la pérdida del significado trascendental, la pérdida del individuo autónomo moderno en su aspecto de imago Dei, el fin del concepto de la historia moderna, y el cierre del Libro según Mark C. Taylor, y mueve el ámbito de la eclesiología desde una perspectiva ontológica hacia una perspectiva epistemológica subjetiva. La transmodernidad dusseliana puede ofrecer algunas alternativas que sirvan como puente de diálogo entre la teología moderna y la a/teología posmoderna y forjar nuevos caminos teológicos hacia el futuro.
Sacred Language of Evidens: How not to Fall into Infinitely Open and Completely Closed?
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Artyushenko P. O.
Published: January 2025

The article explores such a phenomenon as the Enlightenment of Being (the area of the evident), revealed as sacral and numinous. ‘The Enlightenment is infinitely open and absolutely closed’ – this generalisation is proved with the help of D. V. Pivovarov’s approach, as well as using the author’s concept of “snapshot”. The question of verity as self-evident is touched upon.
Corruption in Carolingian Courts from Theodulf of Orléans’ Contra Iudices (Gaul, Late 8th Century). Just a moral Problem?
Authors: SILVA THIAGO RIBEIRO DA
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT From Contra Iudices, a poem composed by Theodulf of Orleães at the end of the 8th century, this text proposes to: i) map the practices considered corrupt denounced by Teodulfo, also taking into account the subjects involved, since we talk about corruptors and corrupted ones; ii) underline the vocabulary used to describe this corruption; and iii) bearing in mind issues of authorship, documentary genre and target audience, answer why Teodulfo wrote his poem at that time. It seems to me that only the association of Christian values with the action of public agents, as pointed out by part of the historiography about the performance of Carolingian rulers, is insufficient to describe the concern of the Bishop of Orléans with the correct application of justice. It is possible to imagine that the condemnation of corruption, due to the factors brought by the poem, also unfolds in other issues, such as economic and political ones.
Transdiaphragmatic surgical access by thoracoscopy for epicardial pacemaker implantation in horses

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT Cardiac arrhythmias are common in horses and can lead to a decline in performance and sudden death. The use of cardiac pacemakers in horses has been poorly investigated, with a scarcity of description and development of techniques for the device implantation procedure. This study therefore aimed to develop a new technique for epicardial pacemaker implantation in horses using video surgery. Five equine cadavers were used as models for the application of the video surgery technique applied for the implantation of an epicardial pacemaker via transdiaphragmatic and intercostal access. This technique was effective at fixing the pacemaker electrode to the left cardiac apex of five cadavers used as a study model. The surgical procedure was minimally invasive, with an average surgical time of 44 min. No lesions were observed during a horse necropsy performed at the end of the surgery. Pacemaker implantation via thoracoscopy and intercostal access is innovative and represents a potential therapeutic novelty in the treatment of horses with severe cardiac arrhythmias.

ABSTRACT Lymphomas are neoplasms of origin in lymphocytes, rarely reported in equines, and classified as multicentric, alimentary, mediastinal, cutaneous, and extranodal in this species. This paper aims to report the case of a Creole mare with multicentric lymphoma. The case of a mare with weight loss, lethargy, and lymphadenomegaly unresponsive to therapy is reported. Clinical examination showed tachycardia, tachypnoea, and dyspnoea, in addition to enlargement and stiffening of palpable lymph nodes, suggestive of hyperplasia by aspiration cytology. The animal showed progressive worsening, not responding to therapy, and death occurred during the second clinical evaluation. Necropsy showed an increase in the size of all palpable lymph nodes and internal lymph nodes. Marked thoracic and abdominal effusions were also observed. Microscopically, the neoplastic proliferation of large lymphocytes was noted, infiltrated in multiple organs. Immunohistochemical (IHC) evaluation of tumor showed positivity for PAX-5 and Ki-67. The association of histopathology and IHC results allowed classifying the neoplastic process as a multicentric large B-cell lymphoma. This type of lymphoma in equines tends to have a silent clinical behavior, with a progressive evolution and clinical condition usually culminating in death.

ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient for coffee seedlings. To meet this requirement, coffee growers usually apply di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), which is highly sensitive to local price fluctuations. The use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and phosphate-solubilizing fungi (PSF) has been recommended, but the results derived from their application are inconsistent and uncertain, depending on soil fertility status. The response of AMF and PSF application in the plant growth of coffee seedlings during the nursery stage was evaluated in four non-sterile soils, which represent the most abundant type of soils in the coffee regions of Colombia: Eutropept, Dystropept, Fulvudand, and Ultisol. The treatments included a commercial AMF inoculum, PSF-Phlebia subserialis-CH4, and a consortium of AMF+PSF, at four P levels (0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g.plant-1 P2O5) using DAP fertilizer. Shoot dry weight (SDW) was affected by P applications in Fulvudand. In the other soils, a P-response occurred with 0.5 g.plant-1 , whereas 1 and 2 g.plant-1 of P2O5 caused a significant reduction in SDW. AMF increased SDW by 40% in Eutropept. The negative effect of higher P amounts was mitigated (> 70%) through PSF and AMF+PSF in Ultisol and Eutropept, respectively. In plants in which microorganisms increased SDW, the P concentration was 0.17 to 0.22%. The plant growth promotion of coffee seedlings during the nursery stage with AMF and/or PSF applications varied according to soil type and P amounts applied.
O caso do trabalhador preferido - três diretrizes para uma agenda de pesquisa decolonial sobre sentidos do trabalho

Resumo A colonialidade é um processo epistemológico que considera a modernidade europeia como o ápice de todas as trajetórias civilizacionais do planeta. Ela criou a diferença colonial entre o conhecimento e os modos de vida do ocidente e aquelas de outras civilizações. Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, a colonialidade entrou em uma nova fase, centrada nos EUA, na qual as organizações e as escolas de administração tornaram-se disseminadores de conhecimento e modos de vida baseadas em valores neoliberais. A pesquisa sobre sentido do trabalho contribuiu para esse esforço ao construir a imagem do trabalhador preferido, alinhada com os valores neoliberais. Este ensaio propõe três diretrizes para a construção de uma agenda de pesquisa decolonial sobre o sentido do trabalho: analisar as dinâmicas de aceitação e re-existência contra o arquétipo do trabalhador preferido, revelar as vozes dos indivíduos subalternos sobre o que o trabalho significa para eles e ampliar a estrutura ontológica do sentido do trabalho. Através dessas diretrizes, pesquisadores poderão analisar como os subalternos são oprimidos dentro do meio organizacional bem como suas estratégias de aceitação e de re-existência. Ademais, essas diretrizes permitem aos pesquisadores oportunidades para entender o sentido do trabalho para além do arquétipo do trabalhador preferido. Os resultados desse estudo podem guiar esforços para o desenvolvimento de ambiente de trabalho decolonizados que libertem os subalternos de se ajustarem ao arquétipo do trabalhador preferido e contribuir para os objetivos econômicos e sociais dos países do Sul Global.
The case of the preferred worker - three guidelines to a decolonial research agenda on meaningful work
Authors: BARRETO GUSTAVO SANTOS DIAS
Published: January 2025

Abstract Coloniality is an epistemological process that regards European modernity as the pinnacle of all civilizational trajectories on the planet. This process, in turn, creates the colonial difference between the knowledge and life practices of the West and other civilizations. After World War II, coloniality entered a new stage centered in the U.S., where organizations and business schools became disseminators of knowledge and praxis of living based on neoliberal values. Research on meaningful work has contributed to this endeavor by constructing an image of preferred work that aligns with neoliberal values. This essay presents three guidelines for establishing a decolonial research agenda on meaningful work: examining the dynamics of acceptance and re-existence against the preferred worker archetype, revealing the voices of subaltern individuals about what work means to them, and expanding the ontological structure of meaningful work. Through these guidelines, scholars can examine how subalterns are oppressed in the organizational milieu and their strategies of acceptance or re-existence. Furthermore, these guidelines enable scholars to explore opportunities for understanding meaningful work beyond the archetype of the preferred worker. The findings from this study can guide efforts to develop decolonized workplaces that free subalterns from conforming to the preferred worker archetype and contribute to the economic and social goals of countries in the Global South.

Abstract The relationship between women and water has gained increasing recognition in recent years. This is evident in the role of water in domestic activities, the water collection performed by women, and the cultural dimensions where attributes such as fluidity, instability, and sensuality are established, aiming at the colonization of both. Simultaneously, the female view has become more prominent in water management, as they are often the ones addressing the issues arising from inadequate access to water and sanitation. This paper examines the case of Vila Ideal, a favela on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, where residents initially had to walk daily to collect water and have witnessed various territorial transformations. We explore the experiences of Black women who have lived in Vila Ideal since its inception, employing a historical perspective through qualitative research. Using a decolonial framework informed by feminist scholars such as Lélia Gonzalez and Gayatri Spivak, we analyze how water and gender intersect and influence human activities over time, forming what we term hydrosocial relationships of gender.

ABSTRACT The combine harvester is a widely used piece of agricultural equipment in modern agriculture, and the seed loss rate is one of the important indexes used to measure its operational performance, so the monitoring of the seed loss rate is crucial for adjusting the operational parameters of combine harvesters and improving the quality of grain harvesting. Aiming at the problems of the slow response speed and low monitoring accuracy of the existing domestic seed loss rate monitoring models, this paper proposed a rice seed loss rate monitoring method based on the whale optimization algorithm-back propagation neural network (WOA-BP). The loss rate monitoring device consisted of a piezoelectric ceramic sensor module, charge amplification circuit, band-pass filter circuit, analog-to-digital (AD) converter, main control unit, etc. The WOA-BP algorithm, which has a high accuracy and fast response speed, was used to classify and count the signals to realise seed loss rate monitoring. The indoor test results showed that the relative errors of the monitoring results are less than 8.5% under the condition of a conveying speed of 1.3-2.1m/s, and the relative errors showed an increasing trend as the proportion of straw increased.

El tromboembolismo venoso (TEV), que engloba la trombosis venosa profunda (TVP) y el tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP), representa una causa significativa de morbimortalidad materna. Durante el embarazo, el riesgo de desarrollar estas condiciones aumenta sustancialmente debido a cambios fisiológicos, con evidencia reciente que sugiere una compleja interacción de múltiples factores de riesgo. Esta revisión integradora sintetiza la evidencia actual sobre los factores predisponentes para TVP durante el embarazo y el período postparto. Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda sistemática de literatura publicada entre 2019-2024 en las bases de datos PubMed, SciELO y LILACS, seleccionando 14 artículos que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Los hallazgos principales indican que la hipercoagulabilidad asociada al embarazo, combinada con factores de riesgo específicos como la cesárea, obesidad, trombofilias genéticas y enfermedades preexistentes, aumenta significativamente el riesgo trombótico. El período postparto emerge como particularmente crítico, con un riesgo elevado hasta 84 veces comparado con mujeres no embarazadas. La infección por COVID-19 se ha identificado como un factor de riesgo adicional significativo, potencialmente aumentando el riesgo de TEV hasta en un 30 %. La identificación temprana de factores de riesgo y la implementación de medidas profilácticas apropiadas son esenciales para mejorar los resultados maternos. Esta revisión proporciona evidencia actualizada para guiar la toma de decisiones clínicas en la prevención y manejo de la TVP asociada al embarazo.
