Published: March 2024

La nanotecnología, que consiste en la manipulación de la materia a una escala casi atómica para crear nuevas estructuras, materiales y dispositivos, plantea importantes cuestiones éticas debido a las aplicaciones potencialmente revolucionarias y transformadoras de esta tecnología en diversas áreas de nuestras vidas. En primer lugar, la nanotecnología plantea desafíos éticos en lo que respecta a la salud y seguridad. Debido a su capacidad para crear nuevos materiales y dispositivos, la nanotecnología puede tener un impacto significativo en la industria médica y farmacéutica, pero también puede aumentar los riesgos de exposición a sustancias tóxicas. Es necesario examinar detenidamente estas implicaciones y tomar medidas adecuadas para garantizar que los productos de la nanotecnología sean seguros para su uso en humanos y en el medio ambiente.

Además, la nanotecnología plantea preguntas éticas en la privacidad y seguridad de los datos. La creación de nuevos dispositivos y sistemas de almacenamiento de datos puede ser muy útil para mejorar la eficiencia y la precisión en diversos campos, pero también puede poner en riesgo la privacidad de la información personal. Por lo tanto, es crucial que se realice una evaluación rigurosa y cuidadosa de las implicaciones éticas de la nanotecnología en todas sus áreas de aplicación. Es necesario asegurar que los beneficios de la nanotecnología superen a los riesgos y que se desarrolle de manera responsable y ética para servir al bien común.

Increasing the use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers will be necessary to enhance grain and pasture yields to satisfy the growing world demand for food. Organic amendments, such as farm dairy effluents (FDE), are an alternative to traditional synthetic fertilizers. However, part of the applied N could be lost as ammonia (NH
3
) volatilization or nitrous oxide (N
2
O) emission, decreasing N availability to plants. Nitrification inhibitors, such as dicyandiamide (DCD), suppress the microbial process of nitrification, decreasing soil nitrate concentration and, therefore, N
2
O emission. Reducing N
2
O losses from agricultural soils is a key subject for sustainable production. This research aimed to quantify the effect of DCD addition to the FDE on the emissions of N
2
O and the volatilization of NH

from the soil. A field trial was carried out in which NH
3
volatilization and N
2
O emission were measured over 49 days after applying FDE, FDE with DCD (DCD), and control (C, without N added) treatments. The amount of N applied as FDE was 120 kg of N ha

. Accumulated N

O emission during the 49 days after the application was 526, 237, and 174 g N

O-N ha
-1
from the soil in the FDE, DCD, and C treatments, respectively. No significant differences were observed in accumulated NH
3
volatilization. Pasture yield was higher in DCD treatment, followed by C and FDE. Under low temperatures and high soil moisture conditions, adding DCD to the FDE could be considered an effective alternative to increase pasture yields, decrease N
2
O emissions, and maintain NH
3
volatilization, reducing total N losses to the atmosphere by about 14 %. Adding DCD to the FDE is a promising alternative for the more efficient N use of farm dairy effluents as fertilizer to mitigate N losses, tending to reduce N losses as N

O emissions. More studies are necessary to verify the result of using FDE + DCD under different soils and climates.

Grzyby endofityczne – symbionty roślin – mogą stanowić poważne zagrożenie dla zwierząt roślinożernych. Te mikroskopijne organizmy wytwarzają wysoce szkodliwe dla roślinożerców alkaloidy (takie jak ergowalina, lolitremy czy peraminy) i tym samym pośredniczą w obronie rośliny przed zgryzaniem. Wykazano szereg negatywnych efektów u zwierząt, które żywiły się pokarmem zawierającym grzyby z alkaloidami. Wysokie stężenia alkaloidów w paszy wywołują konkretne jednostki chorobowe między innymi u bydła, owiec i koni, a ich szkodliwe działanie udowodniono także na owadach. Rolnicy i weterynarze nie korelują obserwowanych u zwierząt chorób ze spożywanym przez nie pokarmem, więc nie zdają sobie sprawy z jego toksyczności. Tymczasem z powodu bioakumulacji alkaloidów, istnieje ryzyko, że negatywne skutki ich działania mogą być odczuwalne także dla ludzi. Mimo licznych doniesień naukowych, problem wciąż jest bagatelizowany i pozostaje nierozwiązany.

Agriculture has been essential for humanity's survival, progress, and well-being throughout history, and yet it remains an essential and challenging sector of the global economy. While under a continuous transformational process, advancement towards inclusive and sustainable development of agricultural practice remains a challenge for the sector. In Albania, the agricultural sector is vital to the economy (particularly in the rural areas), accounting for a large share of gross value added, employment, and exporting activity in the country. Rooted in the early 90s land reform law and decollectivisation policy, multiple structural and non-structural challenges hinder the agricultural sector's full potential exploitation. This paper aims to assess the impact of Nucleus Albania's (NA) innovative nuclei approach in strengthening the MSME market position and, in turn, the agricultural sector and sustainable development in Albania. The impact assessment was conducted using a mixed methods approach, including secondary and primary data analysis (collected through a structured questionnaire and direct interviews). Combined findings suggest a positive impact of the NA-tailored support package on MSME business activity, including improved product quality and diversification, expansion of production capacities and customer base, increased employment and annual turnover, and investments in technology. In addition, the collaborative platform established through NA plays an important role in promoting innovation in agriculture and facilitating knowledge exchange among participants, making a substantial contribution to the overall development of the agricultural sector in Albania. Our findings support the NA approach's effectiveness and its role in modernizing and transforming the agricultural sector, contributing to long-term sustainable development in Albania and beyond.

Published: March 2024

O artigo aborda a importância da internalização da Convenção nº. 87 da OIT, como um instrumento de fortalecimento dos princípios estruturais da Constituição de 1988. Constituição esta que estrutura o Estado Constitucional Cooperativo no Brasil. A pesquisa aborda a liberdade sindical objetiva e a liberdade sindical subjetiva a partir do Estado Constitucional Cooperativo brasileiro. A abordagem perpassa ao reconhecimento da Constituição de 1988 como uma constituição cooperativa, assim como apresenta elementos que demonstram que o Brasil é um Estado Constitucional Cooperativo, aberto no plano interno e a legislação internacional. A abordagem perpassa pela importância da internalização da Convenção nº. 87 da OIT no plano interno. A sua internalização possui o condão de fortalecer o Estado Constitucional Cooperativo Brasileiro, assim como a própria democracia no Brasil, uma vez que sem liberdade, não se pode afirmar que exista democracia. É importante, compreender a liberdade enquanto um espaço de autonomia sindical, espaço de criatividade, de desenvolvimento e de autonomia da vontade das partes, perpassando sempre pela chancela da Constituição de 1988, assim como da estrutura normativa internacional. O Espaço de autonomia sindical objetivo e subjetivo possui no Brasil o reconhecimento pela própria Constituição de 1988, logo, a internalização da Convenção nº. 87/1948 só tem a contribuir para o fortalecimento deste espaço, bem como sua expansão e concretização da democracia laboral no país. Um Estado Constitucional Cooperativo demanda um comportamento Cooperativo e pautado em atender aos preceitos da Constituição no plano interno, seja pelo legislativo, executivo, judiciário, seja por instituições privadas, como é o caso dos sindicatos, que embora pessoas jurídicas de direito privado, possuem a personalidade jurídica sindical, que as distinguem das demais pessoas jurídicas.

A Contrastive Study of the Progressive Marker in English and Ikwerre Languages
Authors: Agwu Florence Nne
Published: March 2024

The Ikwerre and English languages differ in some linguistic features due to their different linguistic backgrounds. One of such linguistic features is the inflectional markers/affixes which are used to mark different grammatical categories. These differences often create problems to the Ikwere learners of English as a second language. This paper, therefore examines the progressive markers in English and Ikwere languages so as to identify areas of differences in both languages that may pose problems to the Ikwere learners of English as well as areas of similarities that make the learning and proficiency in the use of the progressive marker in the target language easier. The data were collected from the language samples and analysed using the descriptive method. The theoretical framework adopted in this study is Robert Ledo’s contrastive analysis (CA). The findings of this study revealed that in both languages, the progressive inflectional markers are suffixes. The study also revealed that while English language marks the progressive verb form with the “-ing” suffix, Ikwere language marks the progressive verb form with the ‘-ga suffix. This paper further revealed that while English language marks the present progressive verb forms with the present forms of the auxiliary verb (be), main verb and the “ing” marker, the Ikwere language marks the present progressive form with the ‘ga’ suffix. This paper further observes that while English forms its past progressive forms with the past form of the auxiliary verb (be), the main verb and the “ing” marker, the Ikwere language forms it past progressive with the presence of the suffix ‘ga’ followed by the factative rV suffix. This paper therefore recommends that Ikwere learners of English should make conscious effort to master the areas of differences in the use of the progressive markers in both languages so as to avoid transfer of rules to the English language.
