Authors: Sakhnova T. A. , Blinova E. V. , Saidova M. A.
Published: December 2021

Aim      To study the relationship between clinical, echocardiographic, and laboratory indexes with increased QRS–T spatial angle (sQRS–T) in patients with arterial hypertension (AH).

Material and methods  The study included 160 patients with AH, 61 (38 %) men and 99 (62 %) women aged 58 [49; 67] years. Patients with ischemic heart disease or His bundle blocks were not included. Echocardiography was used to determine the left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LV EDD), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT), interventricular septal thickness (IVST), relative wall thickness (RWT), left ventricular myocardial mass (LVMM), and LVMM index (LVMMI). Also, the following indexes were analyzed: office systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP), disease duration, body mass index, plasma levels of glucose, cholesterol, and creatinine, and glomerular filtration rate. The QRS-T spatial angle was calculated as an angle between the integral vectors QRS and T using a vectorcardiogram derived from a 12-lead digital electrocardiogram. Data are presented as median (25th percentile; 75th percentile].

Results The QRS-T spatial angle for the group was 65 [43; 90]°. The QRS–T spatial angle increased with increases in the AH grade (grade 1 AH, 55 [37; 74]°; grade 2 AH, 60 [41; 82]°; grade 3 AH, 88 [62; 107]°; р<0.0001); the AH stage (stage 1, 50 [41; 77]°; stage 2, 68 [44; 93]°; stage 3, 78 [59; 110]°; р=0.0002), and the cardiovascular risk degree (low and moderate risk, 49 [37; 70]°, high risk, 62 [43; 88]° (р=0.005); very high risk, 88 [61; 117]° vs. high risk, 62 [43; 88]° (р=0.0002). The QRS–T spatial angle was greater with diabetes mellitus (78 [60; 117]°) than without it (63 [43; 89]°) (р=0.03). Weak but significant correlations were found between sQRS–T and body mass index (r=0.2; p<0.01), SBP (r=0.4; p<0.0001), DBP (r=0.2; p<0.01), LV EDD (r=0.2; p<0.01), LV PWT (r=0.3; p<0.001), IVST (r=0.3; p<0.001), LVMM (r=0.3; p<0.001), LVMMI (r=0.3; p<0.001), and blood glucose (r=0.2; p<0.01).

Conclusion      In patients with AH, a large QRS-T spatial angle is related with significantly higher values of SBP and DBP, LV dimension, blood glucose, and body mass index.
Domestic Hot Water Consumption Profiles Applied to a Flat Tubular Collector for Solar Water Heating in Bogotá
Authors: Ávila Carranza Juan Andrés , Rocha-Osorio Carlos Mario , Solís-Chave Juan Sebastián
Published: December 2021

The use of Flat Solar Collectors for the generation of Domestic Hot Water (DHW), facilitates access to this resource in an efficient, economical and sustainable way. The Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the UN, referring specifically to sustainable water management and access to renewable energy, are the main motivation for this work, since the former is an essential vital resource and its access reduces the inequality index, in developing countries such as Colombia, while the use of solar thermal energy reduces the environmental impact of the water heating process, thus reducing the consumption of electrical energy in the residential sector. Therefore, this work proposes to estimate DHW profiles through a spreadsheet that models the DHW flow thermodynamically for a whole year, making it possible to evaluate the energy performance of a Solar Collector available in the Colombian market and that is used in four types of dwellings located in the city of Bogotá. The simulation results present the DHW consumption profiles in kg/h per year, with DHW temperatures of up to 21°C, for a total transmitted irradiance of the order of 1100 W/m^2, which produces thermal energy close to 1kW. This comparative analysis allows us to review the technical and economic feasibility of solar collectors installed in single-family homes and with a DHW consumption profile close to the Colombian socio-economic reality.

A FOCALIZAÇÃO, O GÓTICO E O FANTÁSTICO EM A OUTRA VOLTA DO PARAFUSO, DE HENRY JAMES
Authors: Botoso Altamir
Published: December 2021

O propósito deste artigo é realizar uma análise do romance A outra volta do parafuso, do escritor norte-americano naturalizado britânico, Henry James, evidenciando alguns elementos de sua construção tais como a focalização e a presença de componentes oriundos do gótico e do fantástico, os quais permeiam o relato em primeira pessoa de uma preceptora, que vê ou imagina que existam fantasmas na mansão onde vai trabalhar. Como suporte teórico, são utilizados os estudos críticos de Bromwich (2011), Leite (2006), Lima (2017), Matos (2018), Parreira (2007), Piglia (2019), Santos (2011), Sylvestre (2012), Todorov (2007) e Vasconcelos (2002). Nota-se que a ambiguidade e a incerteza com a qual a voz narradora dota o relato fazem com que o enigma proposto não tenha resolução e, por isso mesmo, transformam esse romance de James numa das grandes obras da literatura ocidental, que intrigou e continua intrigando leitores e críticos de todas as épocas.
Making the Invisible Visible: Investment Promotion and Multinational Production in Latin America and the Caribbean
Authors: Volpe Martincus Christian , Marra de Artiñano Ignacio , Sztajerowska Monika , Carballo Jerónimo
Published: December 2021

Firms seeking to invest abroad must still confront important information barriers. As a consequence, a given country may provide suitable conditions for investment but remain invisible to multinational firms. Nearly all countries in the world have established investment promotion agencies (IPAs) to address these information barriers and put themselves on investors maps. Although IPAs are ubiquitous, the existing literature on the impacts of their activities is limited and only provides a view from the top, thus leaving governments without crucial inputs for designing and guiding their policy actions. Making the Invisible Visible fills in these knowledge gaps by zooming in on the effects of investment promotion policies and the mechanisms and channels thereof. To do so, it draws on the results of a highly detailed institutional survey of more than 50 IPAs and unique firm-level data on both the worldwide location of multinational firms foreign affiliates and IPA assistance for several LAC countries. Based on the results of impact evaluations using this novel micro data, the report presents robust new evidence on whether and how investment promotion works, what works in investment promotion, and when investment promotion works. In particular, it concludes that: (i) investment promotion has been (cost-)effective in attracting multinational firms and increasing LAC countries participation in multinational production; (ii) how IPAs are organized, what they do, and how they do it all influence these effects; (iii) the impact of IPA assistance has been greater when it consisted of specialized information services and was given to firms headquartered in countries and operating in sectors in which information barriers are more prominent. These findings can help countries in the region make better, more informed policy and operational decisions to take advantage of the opportunities that the current global context could create. They may thereby create a solid basis for long-term growth and sustainable development.

Neapolitańska Neapolitańska praktyka wykonawcza w instrumentalnej muzyce zespołowej XVIII wieku
Authors: Wilk Piotr
Published: December 2021

Gdy mówimy o szkole neapolitańskiej mamy na myśli twórców muzyki operowej i wokalnej, tymczasem w Neapolu rozwijała się także wielobarwna twórczość instrumentalna. Jej znajomość jest słaba nawet wśród badaczy tego ośrodka. Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest neapolitańska twórczość instrumentalna na różnego rodzaju zespoły kameralne i orkiestrowe, powstająca przez 100 lat począwszy od lat 90. XVII wieku. Neapolitańskie zwyczaje wykonawcze odbiegały od tych znanych z innych ośrodków europejskich. Mimo uprawiania tych samych gatunków (sonaty, koncertu, symfonii), twórcy neapolitańscy przejawiali odmienne preferencje obsadowe. Niezależnie od gatunku chętnie posługiwali się zespołem złożonym z trojga lub czworga skrzypiec i basu. Unikali stosowania altówki, rzadziej w roli instrumentu solowego obsadzali skrzypce, chętniej flety, wiolonczelę, mandolinę i instrumenty klawiszowe. Nie typ aparatu wykonawczego stanowił w Neapolu o tym czy mamy do czynienia z sonatą, koncertem czy symfonią, lecz faktura i forma. Gatunek muzyczny nie miał też wpływu na to czy utwór będzie wykonywany kameralnie czy orkiestrowo.

Obraz Świętej Rodziny przy stole z sanktuarium w Studziannie-Poświętnem w świetle tradycji ikonograficznej, wymowy ideowej graficznego pierwowzoru oraz w homilii koronacyjnej Prymasa Stefana Wyszyńskiego
Authors: Żak-Kulesza Małgorzata
Published: December 2021

The painting of the Holy Family at the table in the sanctuary in Studzianna-Poświętne was created in 1629 on the basis of a graphic by Jacques Callot. Numerous reports of miraculous healings and graces received thanks to this painting made it popular with the faithful and numerous pilgrims visiting the sanctuary from the end of the 17th century. The culmination of these centuries-old devotional practices was the festive coronation of the painting of the Holy Family by Primate Stefan Wyszyński in August 18, 1968. The iconography of the painting is focused on the Holy Family gathered at the table during a meal. Saint Joseph, who is giving Jesus the chalice with wine, plays an important role in this scene. The text of this paper is an attempt to more fully understand the sense of the iconography of the painting from Studzianna and its graphic prototype. Following the way in which the figure of St. Joseph is presented in the context of the Holy Family over a meal, attempts were made to indicate the complex ideological sense of this depiction. However, in the context of the history of the cult of the painting from Studzianna and the solemn coronation in 1968, the image of the Holy Family in the Primate’s homily was read according to the current context.

Authors: Бородаева Ж.А. , Чернявских В.И.
Published: December 2021

В период 2016–2018 гг. в экотопах юга Среднерусской возвышенности была исследована продуктивность различных популяций люцерны изменчивой (Medicago varia Mart.). Изучали селекционный материал, созданный на основе форм с высокой экспрессией mf-мутации в сравнении с исходной популяцией сортов, из которых проводили отбор мутантных форм. Сортопопуляции с высокой экспрессией mf-мутации проявляли свой потенциал высокой продуктивности надземной фитомассы только в условиях высокого плодородия почв и оптимальных условиях экотопов, наиболее благоприятных для роста и развития M. varia. При посеве в неблагоприятных условиях они снижали свою продуктивность по сравнению с исходными селекционными популяциями. В условиях экотопов полевых севооборотов с черноземной почвой продуктивность надземной фитомассы сортопопуляций с высокой экспрессией mf-мутации была значительно выше, чем у исходных сортов. Селекционные образцы с высокой экспрессией mf-мутации К-1/10 mf и Б-86/3 mf в экотопе полевого севооборота с черноземом типичным тяжелосуглинистым обеспечивали величину надземной фитомассы соответственно 1209.7 г /м2 и 1175.8 г /м2 а.с.в. В условиях экотопа луга наоборот – они уступали исходным сортам на 50 – 65 г/м2 а.с.в. В условиях экотопа с песчаным чернозем выщелоченным – существенных отличий между ними не выявлено.

O óleo de eucalipto possui funções antibacterianas, antisséptica, expectorante, e melhoradora de saúde respiratória. Entretanto, estimulam a atividade imune e resposta vacinal, junto aos efeitos antioxidantes destas moléculas, vem sendo alvo de estudos recentes na avicultura, pelo seu potencial. Com isso, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do óleo de eucalipto sobre a titulação de anticorpos específicos contra Bronquite Infecciosa e sobre parâmetros antioxidantes séricos em frangos de corte (Cobb), do 1º até 42º dias de vida dos animais. A pesquisa foi conduzida nas instalações do setor de avicultura da UNOESC Xanxerê, utilizando 80 frangos de corte machos, da linhagem Cobb. Distribuídos no primeiro dia de idade, em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, compostos por quatro tratamentos: Controle, 300 ppm óleo de eucalipto via água de bebida, 300 ppm óleo de eucalipto via nebulização e 300 ppm óleo de eucalipto via água de bebida + 300 ppm de óleo de eucalipto via nebulização, constituídos por 20 repetições, cada ave foi considerada uma unidade experimental. A adição do óleo de eucalipto aumentou a quantidade de anticorpos totais aos 28 dias de idade, no entanto, não propiciou alterações (P>0,05) sobre a titulação 42 dias de idade. Da mesma forma, a capacidade total antioxidante e capacidade de redução do ferro plasmático não sofreram influência (P>0,05) de acordo com as diferentes adições de óleo de eucalipto nas aves. Conclui-se que óleo de eucalipto, adicionado via água de bebida ou via nebulização, não altera a resposta vacinal contra a Bronquite Infecciosa, bem como não exerce efeito antioxidante no organismo.

Overcoming the Divide: An Interpretive Exploration of Young Black South Africans’ Lived Experiences of Upward Mobility in Central South Africa
Authors: Kok Michael , Coetzee Jan K. , Elliker Florian
Published: December 2021

The institutionalized racism that once subjugated the Black majority during South Africa’s apartheid years gave way after 1994 to legislature that aims to bring the country into a new era of egalitarianism. A striking result of this has been the steady flow of young Black people achieving upward mobility and making the transition into the middle- and upper-classes. This article explores young Black South Africans’ lived experiences of upward mobility, as well as their efforts to negotiate between separate and often contrasting identities by applying an interpretive sociological framework to their narrative accounts.
Between Society and Self: The Socio-Cultural Construction of the Black Female Body and Beauty in South Africa
Authors: Glapka Ewa , Majali Zukiswa
Published: December 2021

Interested in the socio-cultural construction of the body and beauty, this study investigates the embodied experience of Black African women in South Africa. The Black female body has been problematically positioned in the discourses of beauty. In the dominant, Westernized imagery, the physical markers of blackness such as dark skin and kinky hair have been aesthetically devalued. In the African traditionalist discourses, these body features have been celebrated as beautiful and invoked as the signifiers of cultural pride. This, however, has also been considered as a form of cultural imperative that holds women accountable for how they embody their relationship with their race and ethnicity. Most recently, cultural critics notice the aesthetic revaluation of Black female beauty and ascribe it to the global popularity of the African-American hip-hop culture. In this study, we explore how the socio-cultural complexity of Black female beauty affects the ways in which individuals make sense of their bodies.
Mother-Daughter Communication on Intimate Relationships: Voices from a Township in Bloemfontein, South Africa
Authors: Gumede Ntombizonke A. , Young-Hauser Amanda M. , Coetzee Jan K.
Published: December 2021

Sex education and conversations about intimate relationships are generally regarded to be important and can contribute to young women’s positive or negative reproductive health development and general well-being. The findings contained in this article suggest that in a resource poor South African township, mothers and their daughters struggle to initiate and conduct meaningful discussions about sex. These discussions are often framed in terms of possible negative consequences of intimate relationships, such as unplanned pregnancy, dropping out of school, or possible Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. However, these discussions are clearly not altogether effective as several young research participants had an unplanned baby. Emotional aspects that are normally associated with intimate relationships are missing from the mother-daughter conversations.
The Stock Market Situation and Economic Growth – An Attempt to Assess the Dependence
Authors: Radke Michał
Published: December 2021

The aim of the article: The main aim of the article is to analyze the relationship between the stock market situation and the real economy, measured by the strength of the correlation between the rate of return on the stock market and the rate of GDP growth in European capital markets. The next objective is to answer the question whether the stock market index changes are ahead of, and if so, by how much, GDP changes. The author’s hypothesis stipulates that the stock exchange situation precedes the change in economic activity and serves as its forecast.

Methodology: The empirical research work was carried out on the basis of quarterly data value of the stock index and the GDP between 2010 and the first quarter of 2021 for 20 European countries. For indices and GDP, the quarterly dynamics of the rate of return and GDP were calculated. Data on the value of the stock exchange index was taken from the website www.stooq.pl, while data on GDP was taken from Eurostat. Subsequently, the analysis concerned the correlation relationships between the variables on the basis of the Pearson correlation coefficient. The correlation between the variables was calculated without delay, as well as with a delay of one, two or three quarters of the returns on stock indices.

Results of the research: Changes in the value of the stock exchange index is in most cases positively correlated with the change in GDP and the correlation is pronounced, but it is low and moderate. The only market for which a significant correlation was observed, was the Polish market. At the same time, it can be stated that the rates of return on the stock exchange index precede a change in GDP by one or three quarters. No changes were observed for the analyzed countries for two quarters.

Atomic force microscopy in the assessment of erythrocyte membrane mechanical properties with exposure to various physicochemical agents
Authors: Sherstyukova E. A. , Inozemtsev V. A. , Kozlov A. P. , Gudkova O. E. , Sergunova V. A.
Published: December 2021

Background: Mechanical properties of cell membranes and their structural organization are considered among the most important biological parameters affecting the functional state of the cell. Under the influence of various pathogenic factors, erythrocyte membranes lose their elasticity. The resulting changes in their biomechanical characteristics is an important, but poorly studied topic. It is of interest to study the deformation of native erythrocytes to a depth compatible with their deformation in the bloodstream.

Aim: To investigate the patterns of deep deformation and the particulars of structural organization of native erythrocyte membranes before and after their exposure to physicochemical agents in vitro.

Materials and methods: Cell morphology, nanostructure characteristics, and membrane deformation of native erythrocytes in a  solution of hemoconservative CPD/SAGM were studied with atomic force microscope NTEGRA Prima. Hemin, zinc ions (Zn2+), and ultraviolet (UV) radiation were used as modifiers. To characterize the membrane stiffness, we measured the force curves F(h), hHz (the depth to which the probe immersion is described by interaction with a homogeneous medium), and the Young's modulus values of the erythrocyte membrane.

Results: Exposure to hemin, Zn2+ and UV radiation led to transformation of the cell shape, appearance of topological defects and changes in mechanical characteristics of erythrocyte membranes. Under exposure to hemin, Young's modulus increased from 10±4  kPa to 27.2±8.6  kPa (p<0.001), exposure to Zn2+, to 21.4±8.7  kPa (p=0.002), and UV, to 18.8±5.6  kPa (p=0.001). The hHz value was 815±210  nm for the control image and decreased under exposure to hemin to 420±80 nm (p<0.001), Zn2+, to 370±90 nm (p<0.001), and UV, to 614±120 nm (p=0.001).

Conclusion: The results obtained contribute to a  deeper understanding of interaction between membrane surfaces of native erythrocytes and small vessel walls. They can be useful in clinical medicine as additional characteristics for assessment of the quality of packed red blood cells, as well as serve as a basis for biophysical studies into the mechanisms of action of oxidative processes of various origins.

Authors: Mokolopi B.G.
Published: December 2021

Communal grazing does not offer adequate forage for ruminants throughout the year. This problem is exacerbated during the dry season when grazing is scarce and of poor nutritional quality. Mineral shortages are common in communal grazing environments and yet they are nutritional requirements for optimal development, physiologic functioning and productivity in animals, as well as for cattle growth, reproduction and health. However, the use of groundnut (Arachis hypogea L.) shell (GNS) that are readily available but have no direct nutritional benefit in humans, have not been extensively investigated as a potential source of animal feed. This paper investigates the potential of GNS as feed supplement for ruminants on pasture and its use in other industries. After extracting the seed, the groundnut shell, accounts for roughly 21-29 per cent of the total weight of the nut. Despite the high lignin content of the shell that necessitates adequate processing before use in animal feed, groundnut shell includes 0.50 per cent crude protein, 59.0 per cent crude fiber, 2.50 per cent ash and 4.43 per cent carbs. Sodium (42.00 mg/100 g), potassium (705.11 mg/100 g), magnesium (3.98.00 mg/100 g), calcium (2.28 mg/100 g), iron (6.97 mg/100 g), zinc (3.20 mg/100 g) and phosphorus (10.55 mg/100 g) are all abundant in groundnut shells. In view of this, GNS, a by-product of industrial processing of groundnuts is a rich source of nutrients and can be used to supplement ruminants on pastures during times when pastures are in short supply and of poor quality. Studies are needed to investigate their use to supplement cattle on pasture grazing during times of feed shortage. However, its use as animal feed supplement is likely to face challenges from other industries such as biofuel production.

Background: Additive main and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) analysis had been exploited for multi environment trials for most of the crops. Usage of the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP), along with AMMI tools, of the genotypes would improve the estimation of interaction effects. Methods: AMMI based measures of adaptability have been enriched with the incorporation of BLUP of genotypes by new Superiority index that allowed variable weights for stability and yield of genotypes. Result: Stability measure weighted average of absolute scores (WAASB) based on all significant interaction principal components ranked suitability of KB1754, RD3000, NDB1445 genotypes. Superiority index while weighting 0.65 and 0.35 for mean yield and stability arranged DWRB201, NDB1445, RD2552 as of stable high yield performance of barley genotypes. Corrected measure Modified AMMI Stability Value (MASV1) found RD2552, DWRB201, KB1762 and Modified AMMI Stability Value (MASV) ranked DWRB201, RD2552, KB1762. ASTAB measure achieved the desirable lower values for DWRB201 DWRB207, HUB268 genotypes. Biplot graphical analysis based on 60.7% of variation of the stability measures observed MASV1, ASTAB (AMMI based stability parameter), EV(Averages of the squared eigenvector values), SIPC (Sums of the absolute value of the IPC scores), Za (Absolute value of the relative contribution of IPCs to the interaction), W3, WAASB and MASV had been clubbed together. For the second year lower value of WAASB measure had observed for RD3016, KB1815 HUB273. Ranking of genotypes as per Superiority index found RD3017, RD2907, HUB274 as of stable high yield performance. Genotypes RD3017, RD2907 and NDB1173 pointed out by MASV1 while RD3017, RD2907, NDB1173 identified by MASV as the genotypes of choice. RD3017 NDB1173, RD2907 genotypes were selected as per values of ASTAB measure. Total of 71.8% of variation of the considered measures in biplot analysis expressed larger cluster comprised of AMMI based measures and a separate cluster of Superiority indexes as per mean, Geometric Adaptability Index (GAI) and HMGV also observed.
A critical analysis of the inefficacy of Court-Annexed Mediation (CAM) in South Africa – lessons from Nigeria
Authors:   University of the Free State, Muller EC , Nel CL
Published: December 2021

As a result of defects in the South African civil justice system, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development introduced voluntary court-annexed mediation (CAM) in the magistrates’ courts in 2014. CAM was chosen under the broader need for greater access to justice because it has the potential to make dispute resolution efficient, amicable, and affordable. It can, therefore, contribute to access to justice for all members of society. Since the amendment of the Magistrates’ Court Rules to provide for CAM, the uptake of mediation in terms of the CAM system has unfortunately been inadequate. The aim of this article is to identify reasons for the inefficacy of CAM since its implementation. We use normative research to critically analyse existing court rules and authority. We conclude that there are several reasons for CAM’s inefficacy which are elucidated in the main text. It is important to understand these reasons, as the legislature presents CAM as a mechanism to improve access to justice. From this platform, we evaluate the mechanisms for court-connected alternative dispute resolutions provided by the Nigerian Multi-Door Courthouse (MDC) system. This reveals policies and practices that could potentially improve the efficacy of CAM in South Africa, as these relate to the factors identified as impediments to the optimal functioning of CAM in our civil justice system. As such, we identify valuable lessons that can be learned from this comparison. Building hereon, and on the conclusions reached elsewhere in the article, we postulate that the mediation scheme, as contemplated by Rule 41A of the Uniform Rules of Court (as applied in the superior courts), should also be implemented in the magistrates’ courts. The article concludes that improving CAM in South Africa is of critical importance to advancing access to justice and departing from a culture of conventional adversarial dispute resolution.

This case note on the Judicial Conduct Tribunal’s (hereinafter, “the tribunal”) decision regarding Judge President John Hlophe (hereinafter, “Hlophe” for the sake of brevity) in April 2021 is prompted not only by the increasing attacks on the South African judiciary, but also by the moral force which underlies the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary as constitutional guarantees.
Digital Service Taxes and Their Application
Authors: Kelbesa Megersa
Published: December 2021

Many developing economies have seen a rise in e-commerce activity within their borders, and a decline in income from traditional industries as a result of COVID-19, meaning the digital economy offers a potentially unexploited source of tax revenue. . As a result, more developing countries may soon begin adopting some sort of digital tax. The economic activities which may be subject to the Digital Services Tax (DST) may vary from country to country. It will, therefore, be necessary for businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions across developing countries to keep up with the changes in digital taxes. Before implementing a DST scheme, developing countries are advised to perform an in-depth cost-benefit analysis and due considerations. Some developing (and several developed) countries have already unilaterally implemented a “provisional” DST system. Other developing countries are on the process of implementing DST or have simply announced that they will implement a DST soon. Although most of the countries so far actively working on DST (are rich countries, a growing list of developing countries are joining the process. Some examples include the following: Malaysia, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, Argentina and, Chile. It is important to mention that the literature on DST is very limited – although growing, and the evidence base around the economic impacts is particularly scarce. This is partly due to the quite recent nature of DST implementation. The evidence is even scarcer for developing countries – Due to these limitations, this rapid evidence review looks at different types of available literature – including reports and blogs issued by international financial institutions and development agencies. The rest of the report will give an overview of key proposed approaches to tax the digital economy, provide a very brief account of the economic impact of DST, provide a brief mapping of the implementation of digital service taxes in developing countries, provide a brief description of each DST system and about the economic impact of the DST, finally a brief account or attributes of a “good” DST system.

Reflexiones acerca del término “Geolodáctica”
Authors: Sellés-Martínez José
Published: December 2021

Se discuten la corrección etimológica, la amplitud de significado y la necesidad de introducir en la jerga profesional la palabra “geolodáctica” y se concluye que: a) la misma es incorrecta en su construcción; b) se le asigna un significado considerado excesivo en cuanto a los alcances propuestos; y c) la misma es innecesaria ya que existe la posibilidad de eliminar la ambigüedad que el prefijo “geo” presenta en cuanto no distingue entre su referencia a la geología o a la geografía utilizando la construcción “didáctica de la geología”, en forma similar a como se hace referencia a otras didácticas específicas. Se considera también necesario mantener el uso de la expresión “didáctica de las Ciencias de la Tierra” en referencia a la enseñanza de los conocimientos provenientes de la Geología, la Geografía y las Ciencias de la Atmósfera y de los Océanos reunidos bajo esa denominación en los contenidos curriculares de la formación escolar en muchos países.

O primeiro trabalho de campo de Paleontologia realizado pela Faculdade de Formação de Professores da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (FFP/UERJ) no oeste de São Paulo envolveu múltiplas instituições públicas. Além dos trabalhos de prospecção, foram realizadas duas atividades de extensão (AE) com as populações locais de Presidente Prudente e Alfredo Marcondes (SP). Relatamos aqui diferenças nas AE das duas cidades, com graus distintos de demografia e desenvolvimento urbano. Ambas AE finalizaram com a exposição de fósseis coletados nos próprios trabalhos de campo. Como resultado principal dos eventos, constatou-se maior esclarecimento e conscientização sobre fósseis e riquezas geológicas da região, além da produção de materiais de Divulgação Científica veiculados em ampla rede midiática dos municípios. Tais abordagens assumem papel de destaque, não apenas na divulgação de Ciência e Tecnologia (C&T), mas formando a identidade sociocultural da comunidade, buscando atender às suas demandas sociais a partir das diferentes realidades.
Autoformação em geociências
Authors: Martins José Roberto Serra , Carneiro Celso Dal Ré
Published: December 2021

Três dimensões compõem a construção do pensamento complexo: a heteroformação, a ecoformação e a autoformação. Esta última impacta um indivíduo adulto quando, em um círculo virtuoso de ação-reflexão-ação, ele toma as rédeas de seu amadurecimento. Autoformação requer autonomia e tempo. Evolui para aprendizagem permanente, ao se associar à transdisciplinaridade, uma perspectiva pluralista do conhecimento que transcende as fronteiras do saber e articula diferentes formas de compreensão do mundo. Identificam-se campos privilegiados para autoformação no grande campo interdisciplinar das Ciências Ambientais e, em especial, das Geociências. Este artigo descreve e analisa a oportunidade de uma proposta de autoformação em Geociências, baseada em situações polêmicas e conflituosas da interferência humana com os ecossistemas naturais, cujas consequências podem ser evidentes, dissimuladas ou até mesmo imprevisíveis. Um dos resultados esperados do processo é permitir que cada pessoa exerça, ao longo da vida, uma cidadania responsável e consequente.
