Effect of PRISMA 2009 on reporting quality in systematic reviews and meta-analyses in high-impact dental medicine journals between 1993–2018
Authors: Sewell Kerry A. , Schellinger Jana , Bloss Jamie E.
Published: December 2023

Introduction

The PRISMA guidelines were published in 2009 to address inadequate reporting of key methodological details in systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRs/MAs). This study sought to assess the impact of PRISMA on the quality of reporting in the full text of dental medicine journals.

Methods

This study assessed the impact of PRISMA (2009) on thirteen methodological details in SRs/MAs published in the highest-impact dental medicine journals between 1993–2009 (n = 211) and 2012–2018 (n = 618). The study further examined the rate of described use of PRISMA in the abstract or full text of included studies published post- PRISMA and the impact of described use of PRISMA on level of reporting. This study also examined potential effects of inclusion of PRISMA in Instructions for Authors, along with study team characteristics.

Results

The number of items reported in SRs/MAs increased following the publication of PRISMA (pre-PRISMA: M = 7.83, SD = 3.267; post-PRISMA: M = 10.55, SD = 1.4). Post-PRISMA, authors rarely mention PRISMA in abstracts (8.9%) and describe the use of PRISMA in the full text in 59.87% of SRs/MAs. The described use of PRISMA within the full text indicates that its intent (guidance for reporting) is not well understood, with over a third of SRs/MAs (35.6%) describing PRISMA as guiding the conduct of the review. However, any described use of PRISMA was associated with improved reporting. Among author team characteristics examined, only author team size had a positive relationship with improved reporting.

Conclusion

Following the 2009 publication of PRISMA, the level of reporting of key methodological details improved for systematic reviews/meta-analyses published in the highest-impact dental medicine journals. The positive relationship between reference to PRISMA in the full text and level of reporting provides further evidence of the impact of PRISMA on improving transparent reporting in dental medicine SRs/MAs.

Published: December 2023

Background

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness and practicality of erbium lasers in the removal of ceramic restorations and appliances from natural teeth and dental implant abutments in clinical practice.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted, involving 29 clinical cases with a total of 52 abutments requiring the removal of various ceramic restorations. The analysis evaluated the clinical procedures performed, including the type and material of the prosthetic, the type of cement used, laser setting parameters, retrieval time, and retrieval success.

Results

Out of the 52 abutments, 50 were successfully retrieved without causing any damage (>95%) using either an Er,Cr:YSGG laser (N = 6) or an Er:YAG laser (N = 46). In one case, a crown was partially sectioned to prevent any negative impact of laser irradiation on the adhesive strength between the post and tooth, and in another case, a fracture occurred during debonding. The restorations consisted of 13 lithium disilicate and 39 zirconia units, including six veneers, 38 single crowns, and three fixed partial dentures (FPDs). The retrieval time varied depending on the restoration type, material thickness, cement type, retention form/fitting of the abutment and restoration, ranging from 2.25 ±0.61 minutes for veneers, 6.89 ±8.07 minutes for crowns, to 25 ±10 minutes per abutment for FPDs. Removal of a zirconia crown required more time, 7.12±8.91 minutes, compared to a lithium disilicate crown, 5.86 ±2.41 minutes. The debonding time was influenced by the laser settings as well as materials and types of prosthesis.

Conclusions

Erbium lasers present a safe and effective alternative to invasive methods for removing ceramic restorations, without causing harm to the abutment or prosthesis. Laser-assisted debonding allows for recementation of the restorations during the same appointment, making it a conservative and viable option for ceramic crown retrieval in clinical settings.

This study aimed to: (i) analyze the load characteristics of 4 weeks cross-country skiing altitude training; (ii) analyze the relationships between methods of monitoring training load and physiological indicators changes of elite male Chinese cross-country skiers during this period. Practitioners collected load data during 4 weeks of altitude training camp. Participants performed maximal oxygen uptake, lactate threshold, body composition, and skierg power test before and after the training camp to investigate the changes in physiological performance. Edwards TRIMP, Lucia TRIMP, and session rating of perceived exertion were collected as internal load. Training distance, time recorded by the Catapult module were collected as external load. The result revealed a " pyramid " pattern in the load characteristics during the altitude training camp. The correlation between luTRIMP and percent change in physiological indicators was highest. Percentage changes in lactate threshold velocity (r = .78 [95% CI -.01 to .98]), percentage changes in lactate threshold HR (r = .71 [95% CI .14- .99]), percentage changes in maximum HR (r = .83 [95% CI .19–1.00]), percentage changes in skierg power-to-weight ratio (r = .75 [95% CI -.28 to .98]) had very large relationships with luTRIMP. In cross-country skiing altitude training, training loads should be reasonably controlled to ensure that athletes do not become overly fatigued. Methods of training load monitoring that combine with athletes’ physiological characteristics and program characteristics have the highest dose-response relationships, it is an important aspect of cross-country ski training load monitoring. The luTRIMP could be a good monitoring tool in cross-country skiing altitude training.

Blue-stain development on Norway spruce logs under alpine conditions
Authors: Böhm Stephan , Baier Peter , Kirisits Thomas , Kanzian Christian
Published: December 2023

Discoloration of the sapwood caused by blue-stain fungi on conifer logs during interim storage causes significant loss to the forest industry. The fungal infection is often associated with bark beetle attacks because the spores are transmitted by the beetles. They can also be disseminated by rain-splash and moist air. While there are methods to protect logs from sap-stain in wood yards, this is often not possible in the forest for practical and regulatory reasons. Timing of harvesting and timely transportation are often the only ways to prevent blue-stain. To estimate the urgency of transportation, knowledge of the growth of blue-stain fungi and its dependence on weather conditions is of great interest. The proportion of discolored sapwood on Norway spruce logs was recorded along a time series, together with weather data in two field experiments conducted in spring and summer at two alpine sites in Austria. A predictive model was developed to estimate the proportion of blue-stained sapwood based on the temperature sum to which the logs were exposed. After harvest in March, there was a time lag of 82 and 97 days at the two respective sites, caused by initially low temperatures, before discoloration started. In contrast, sap-stain occurred 14 days after the harvest in June, when warm conditions prevailed from the start. The nonlinear least square regression model can help to estimate a window of opportunity to transport wood before it loses its value and serves as a sub model for lead time estimation within logistic decision support systems.
Többségi pedagógusok és gyógypedagógusok differenciáló gyakorlatának elemzése
Authors: Rohony Noémi , Hosszu Tímea
Published: December 2023

A pedagógusok számára nem könnyű feladat, hogy hogyan lehet egy tanulócsoporton belül hatékonyan tanítani, fejleszteni a különböző érdeklődésű, különböző kulturális háttérrel rendelkező, más nyelvet beszélő, a világról más-más tapasztalattal rendelkező, a készségek különböző spektrumán elhelyezkedő tanulókat. A sajátos nevelési igény mellett a tanulói heterogenitást tovább színesíti az alacsony szociokulturális háttér is, de ne feledkezzünk meg az átlagos képességű (de eltérő tanulási stílussal rendelkező) vagy akár a tehetséges tanulókról sem (Hosszu, 2021. 15. o.). A szakirodalom számos, a differenciálásra vonatkozó tanítási gyakorlatot jegyez, melyek a tanulói heterogenitás kezelésére hivatott módszerek. Ugyanakkor a kutatások eredményei szerint a differenciálás mint gyakorlat mégsem vált általánossá, van, aki túlterheltnek érzi magát, ha differenciál (Reis, McCoach, Little, Muller és Kaniskan, 2011), van, aki arról panaszkodik, hogy a képzése során nem készítették fel a differenciálás hatékony alkalmazására (Idol, 2006), van, aki egyszerűen csak nem érti a differenciálás lényegét. Vizsgálatunkban többségi pedagógusok és gyógypedagógusok differenciáló gyakorlatát hasonlítjuk össze. Arra keressük a választ, hogy mintánkban van-e különbség a pedagógusok és gyógypedagógusok által alkalmazott differenciáló stratégiák között.
IMPLEMENTATION OF PLAY THERAPY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF GORILLAS EX SITU
Authors: Velasco Manuel
Published: December 2023

The introduction of play sessions in the routine management of great apes presents an important qualitative leap, since it includes an interaction between the keeper and the animal where the animal does not receive any physical compensation in the form of food, object or entertainment, is a purely emotional interaction where the keeper makes a playful behavior available to the animal, whose only reward is to create an empathetic, safe and relaxed environment that can have positive social repercussions within the group itself (Ávila, 2017; Cerdán , 2018; Pizzutto, Nichi, Ramiro, Ades and Alcindo, 2007; Adriaense, 2020). Conversely, a keeper-group interaction where there is competition for food or material enrichment could lead to higher levels of arousal and agonism, and a decrease in prosocial behaviors (Chelluri, Ross and Wagner, 2013). It is worth remembering that the targeted and systematic training of primates in general and great apes in particular is another way to positively reinforce their well-being (Perdue, 2018; Ward, 2013; Leeds 2016).

The hypothesis on which we will base our research is that the introduction of play sessions between the keeper and the social group in the daily management of gorillas entails changes within the group, favoring the sociability of the subjects, increased confidence and generation of a social dynamic that reduces potential sociability problems, increases affiliative behaviors and therefore increases levels of well-being.

Teaching virtual production: the challenges of developing a formal curriculum
Authors: Boutellier Alex , Raptis Panos
Published: December 2023

In this article, we explore how the recent proliferation of the virtual production stage with its promise of real-time visual effects has not only changed the working environment of the film studio, but also introduced an urgent need for new training and teaching approaches – not only for current and future film students, but also for educators and practitioners. This case study examines a research project involving students from Ravensbourne University London, UK, in collaboration with industry partner Mo-Sys Engineering, a leading manufacturer of virtual production solutions. The complex demands of new, multidisciplinary job roles in virtual production have created a skills shortage in the UK film and television industry. We illustrate the challenges of training not only film students but also educators for a continually changing workplace dominated by disruptive technologies and shifting skill sets.
The psychosocial costs of racism to White staff members of an ethnically diverse, post-92 university
Authors: Miller Denise , Brown Charmaine , Essex Ryan
Published: December 2023

Research examining institutional racism in higher education institutions is invariably based on Black, Asian and minority ethnic people’s perspectives, thus overlooking the significance of the experiences and viewpoints of people who are not from Black, Asian or minority ethnic backgrounds. To address this gap in the literature, the researchers utilised Kivel’s psychosocial costs of racism to White people framework as a means to investigate and understand the issue of institutionalised racism in an ethnically diverse, post-92 university in the UK. Data were collected from White university employees, via semi-structured individual interviews, and were examined using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings revealed how participants were aware of incidences of institutional racism within their higher education institution and understood the privileges that came with the colour of their skin (that were not afforded to their Black, Asian and minority ethnic colleagues). As a result, they invariably experienced significant psychosocial costs, including anxiety, anger, embarrassment and fear. This is the first study to examine the problem of institutional racism as viewed through the lens of White university employees. The findings of the study present an opportunity for strategic development linked to the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and Goals 2 and 8 more particularly. Goal 2 focuses on promoting good health and well-being, and Goal 8 on promoting decent work and economic growth.
“Estudo, trabalho, fuzil” e rock em Cuba: a música dos Beatles no Noticiero Icaic Latinoamericano (1965-1972)
Authors: Brito Matos Lacerda Glauber , Martins Villaça Mariana
Published: December 2023

Neste artigo buscamos compreender os significados, do ponto de vista cultural e político, da presença da música dos Beatles no Noticiero Icaic Latinoamericano em um contexto de restrições à difusão do rock em Cuba, ao mesmo tempo em que o protagonismo juvenil florescia e os produtos culturais destinados à juventude se mostravam indispensáveis, ao governo cubano, para o estímulo ao engajamento político e à formação do “homem novo”. Por meio do levantamento e análise da trilha musical de várias edições do período entre 1965 e 1972, marcado pela beatlemania, refletimos sobre o uso das canções, em seus múltiplos formatos e versões, demonstrando os diferentes papéis que a música assume, ao se combinar ao material visual. Em diálogo com a bibliografia sobre o tema, procuramos evidenciar como essa polissêmica trilha musical, ora permeada de ambiguidade, ora de explícito discurso político, permite explorar a potencialidade do Noticiero como fonte histórica da Revolução Cubana, tão marcada por buscas, embates e desafios.

Published: December 2023

The present study investigates the insecticidal and biochemical effects of two essential oils (EOs) and two photosensitizers against cotton aphids in a laboratory setting. The EOs evaluated were clove (Syzygium aromaticum L.) and basil (Ocimum basilicum), while the photosensitizers were rose bengal and rhodamine B. The individual median lethal concentrations (LC50) revealed that clove was ~4.44 times more potent than basil, and rhodamine B was ~1.34 times more potent than rose bengal. The mortality rates increased using higher concentrations of the photosensitizers and prolonging exposure time to sunlight. The most effective combination against adult aphids was found to be a mixture of sub-lethal concentrations of clove and rhodamine B, resulting in a mortality rate of 92.31%. Conversely, the combination of basil and rose bengal exhibited the lowest efficacy with a mortality rate of 33.33%. Biochemical analyses indicate that Rhodamine B, basil, and the basil-rhodamine B mixture (mixture C) significantly reduced trehalase activity. However, the protease activity significantly increased in aphids treated with rose bengal, clove, and the clove-rose bengal mixtures (mixtures A and B). The lipase activity is notably decreased upon treatment with rhodamine B and clove. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity decreased in aphids treated with rose bengal and the basil-rhodamine B mixtures (mixtures C and D), suggesting that GST did not play a role in detoxifying these compounds, thereby explaining the susceptibility of A. gossypii. Overall, the combination of essential oils and photosensitizers has demonstrated a synergistic effect in controlling Aphis gossypii, offering great potential as an effective strategy for aphid management.

Published: December 2023

O artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre o processo de alfabetização e letramento, no 1º ano do ensino fundamental, depois da Lei  11.274/2006, que alterou o tempo do Ensino Fundamental de oito para nove anos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo realizada por meio de observações e entrevistas, analisada sob a perspectiva da alfabetização e letramento, conforme as políticas para o Ensino fundamental de nove anos. Em termos de resultados, pode-se inferir que há necessidade de condições diferentes das atuais, para que as crianças de seis anos tenham, na escola, condições efetivas de alfabetização com letramento, no 1º ano do ensino fundamental com respeito às suas singularidades. Afinal, elas continuam sendo crianças, quando chegam à escola. Há, ainda, uma predominância do uso dos métodos sintético e analítico, em detrimento da compreensão da função social da escrita.

Published: December 2023

Os animais peçonhentos que mais causam acidentes no Brasil são abelhas, aranhas, escorpiões, lagartas urticantes, serpentes e vespas. Esses acidentes resultam em emergências médicas, necessitando atendimento imediato para diminuir a chance de complicações. Este estudo objetivou avaliar o perfil epidemiológico dos acidentes causados por animais peçonhentos em 18 municípios do sul do Brasil e descrever o perfil clínico destes acidentes no município de Sarandi – RS. O estudo contemplou municípios pertencentes à microrregião de Carazinho-RS, no período de 2015 a 2019 e avaliou dados disponíveis no Sistema de Informação Nacional de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) além de prontuários de atendimentos no Hospital Comunitário do município de Sarandi, RS, no mesmo período. Foram encontradas 607 notificações de acidentes envolvendo animais peçonhentos, com uma tendência de crescimento no número das notificações ao longo dos anos. Indivíduos do sexo masculino foram os mais acometidos (59,7%) e a faixa etária predominante foi entre 20 e 64 anos (71,8%). Os locais com maior acometimento foram as extremidades (94%). O sintoma mais relatado foi de dor. Dado o número de acidentes, os resultados corroboram o conhecimento da epidemiologia específica da região, juntamente com o tratamento adotado pelos médicos visando o melhor prognóstico dos acidentes.

Published: December 2023

Este texto mostra possibilidades de estudo do signo onomástico na Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) para além das abordagens tradicionalmente mais fortes de antropônimos e topônimos. Por exemplo, Ononímia, Astronímia e Zoonímia são algumas áreas dos estudos onomásticos em línguas de sinais que poderiam contribuir para a descrição do léxico das línguas viso-espaciais e das línguas orais. Embora não seja o foco principal deste texto, as presentes descrições podem contribuir para o ensino do léxico da Libras tanto como primeira língua L1 para surdos quanto como segunda língua (L2) para ouvintes. Esse ensino poderia ser baseado tanto nos aspectos formais quanto nos aspectos semânticos (motivacionais e icônicos) da Língua Brasileira de Sinais.

Published: December 2023

Um sistema de navegação é projetado para auxiliar os usuários em tarefas de navegação em áreas outdoor ou indoor. Os sistemas beneficiam os pedestres, pois reduzem o esforço cognitivo empregado ao navegar, ao auxiliar na localização, na orientação do usuário e no planejamento da rota. Existem variadas aplicações voltadas para a navegação em ambientes indoor em shoppings, museus, aeroportos e bibliotecas. Em ambientes indoor as pessoas perdem a orientação mais facilmente do que ao ar livre, por isso, os sistemas de navegação indoor são projetados para atender essa necessidade. Sendo assim, ao desenvolver um sistema de navegação indoor, diferentes aspectos têm que ser considerados, como o posicionamento, a apresentação de rota e se há compreensão dos elementos apresentados, entre outras características. Um sistema de navegação indoor ideal deve possuir a funcionalidade de determinar a posição do usuário ao longo do trajeto, quando o sistema não permite essa funcionalidade ele é dito não adaptativo. Porém, considerando as limitações existentes para gerar um sistema ideal, este estudo apresenta quais elementos dentre recursos e ferramentas, podem ser empregados em um sistema não adaptativo, visando facilitar a navegação e demandar menos atenção do usuário. Assim, neste artigo, são apresentados os principais aspectos necessários para um sistema de navegação indoor não adaptativo, como: recursos cognitivos e tecnológicos, a informação posicional, a representação do ambiente, os pontos de referência e o traçado das rotas, descrições de rota e comandos de voz. Sendo assim, espera-se construir um arcabouço teórico sobre os aspectos que aprimoram a orientação dos navegadores e o mapeamento cognitivo em ambientes indoor.

A parcela é um dos elementos principais no ordenamento e gestão do território. Por meio dela é possível vincular e obter informações sobre o uso solo, monitoramento ambiental, avaliação e tributação de terras, principalmente quando se estabelece um Sistema de Informações Territoriais (SIT). É a base para o Cadastro Territorial Multifinalitário e, por esse motivo, deve ser identificada de forma correta, inequívoca e permitir o uso em qualquer SIT. Devido à ausência de um padrão para a codificação de parcelas urbanas no território nacional, este trabalho propõe um geocódigo único como chave de identificação dentro de um sistema de informação, integrando todo o território. O método apresentado baseia-se em um sistema híbrido para a identificação da parcela, resultado da combinação de um sistema de codificação hierárquica dado pela divisão administrativa do Brasil – referência histórica e geolocalização absoluta –, utilizando-se como referência o centroide da parcela, determinado pelas coordenadas plano-retangulares do Sistema Topográfico Local (STL), estabelecido pela Rede de Referência Cadastral Municipal (RRCM), de acordo com a Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas (ABNT) NBR 14.166, de 2022 e 13.133, de 2021. A proposta atende as normas técnicas e as recomendações nacionais e internacionais. O resultado final apresenta como proposição um código identificador único destinado à parcela urbana que garante, com precisão, a identificação e o posicionamento geográfico em todo o território nacional, contribuindo para a integração das informações e possibilitando maior segurança e integração dos cadastros territoriais municipais no país.

Aproximadamente 70% do nosso planeta é ocupado por águas, que em sua grande maioria formam os nossos oceanos. Além de nos encantar com sua beleza, o mar com seu movimento vertical rigorosamente regular, impulsionado pelas forças gravitacionais, vem sofrendo perturbações cada vez mais intensas, ocasionando sua elevação em virtude de diversos fatores, principalmente ambientais e climáticos. Parte integrante de um dos objetivos de desenvolvimento sustentável (ODS 13 – Ação Contra a Mudança Global do Clima), agenda mundial adotada durante a Cúpula das Nações Unidas, composta por 17 objetivos e 169 metas a serem atingidas até 2030, o aumento do nível médio do mar vem preocupando autoridades governamentais, não governamentais e pesquisadores há algum tempo, principalmente quando os cenários futuros não são nem um pouco animadores. Esses riscos são ainda mais acentuados quando nos referimos as regiões costeiras, pois as consequências são sentidas de uma forma muito mais direta e acentuada, tais como: erosão das praias, inundações costeiras, perda de ecossistemas, entre outras, impactando tanto do ponto de vista socioeconômico quanto ambiental. Com o intuito de contribuir com pesquisas relacionadas ao tema, por meio de técnicas bibliométricas, o referente estudo analisou 35 artigos entre os anos de 2009 e 2021 extraídos da base de dados Scopus com a aplicação de métodos matemáticos e estatísticos como forma de avaliar quantitativamente essas pesquisas, entre elas: tendências históricas e geográficas, principais periódicos e instituições, características de palavras-chave e análise de rede de citações. O objetivo é ter um panorama geral de como o tema “nível médio do mar” vem sendo estudado ao longo do tempo e suas relações com seus fatores perturbadores, tais como a subsidência da terra e fatores climáticos, que técnicas estão sendo utilizadas e quais os principais achados.

Published: December 2023

Smartphones have become communication and information retrieval tools, but as part of their functionality they also contain a variety of sensors to determine their orientation and location. This research aims to evaluate the capacity of the embedded sensors: gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer, and the camera sensor, with the purpose of indirectly determining values of angles and distances, basic elements for the determination of positions by positioning techniques. The tests consisted of measuring some points in an internal environment and in an external environment. These were collected using a total station and with the application developed for comparison purposes. The results showed that, for the distances evaluated, the differences obtained between the data measured by the total station and by the application were a maximum of 1.54 meters and a minimum of 0.09 m. The measurements of the vertical angles showed, on average, approximately 2.09 degrees of discrepancies between the data compared to the total station data. The horizontal angles showed the greatest differences between the values measured with the application and the total station, which ranged from 4.83° to 69.32° evaluated indoors. These observed discrepancies increased with the increase of the measured and calculated angle, thus verifying a problem mainly in relation to the determination of the horizontal angles.

No Cerrado, a ocorrência de queimadas é alta e frequente devido à supressão da vegetação nativa para a expansão agrícola, atividades agropecuárias e incêndios associados à fenômenos naturais. Assim, esta pesquisa realizou o mapeamento multitemporal das queimadas no Parque Nacional das Sempre-Vivas (MG) e áreas adjacentes, com área total de 1241,06 km², localizado nos municípios de Olhos d’Água, Bocaiúva, Diamantina e Buenópolis. Para isso, foram utilizados sensores remotos Thematic Mapper (TM) do Landsat-5, Operational Land Imager (OLI) do Landsat-8 e o Linear Imaging Self-Scanner (LISSIII) do Resourcesat-1 para o mapeamento das áreas queimadas entre 1985 e 2019. As queimadas foram analisadas em conjunto com dados de precipitação e dados de uso e cobertura da terra para estabelecer as relações entre queimadas e condições meteorológicas/uso e cobertura da terra. Os resultados mostram que ocorreu aumento de 14% na ocorrência de queimadas nesses 34 anos e uma redução de 48% em relação aos anos anteriores à criação do parque, em 2002. E ainda, mostram que a Formação Savânica, Formação Campestre, Pastagem e Formação Florestal foram afetadas por queimadas nos últimos 34 anos, totalizando 2.369,41 km², 1.108,87 km², 502,63 km² e 198,35 km², respectivamente. Este estudo pode auxiliar na elaboração de um plano de ações que inclua a comunidade local no planejamento e na gestão do Parque, a recuperação de áreas queimadas e o controle dos incêndios nestas áreas.
A terra como “bem coletivo” no vale do Incomati
Authors: Alberto Dercio Carlos
Published: December 2023

Moçambique possui um regime dualista de administração e gestão de terras, o consuetudinário e o legislativo – direito clássico da posse. Nisso, as associações emergem como um sistema perpendicular com paralelismos em relação aos dois sistemas, na medida em que funcionam não só com base na legislação, mas igualmente nos estatutos internos, que podem violar ou adoptar as “normas costumeiras” e ou ainda a legislação básica da terra em Moçambique. O presente artigo analisa as estratégias de gestão (acesso, posse e partilha) da terra nas associações agrárias do vale do Incomati em Marracuene, no período pós-colonial. Recorrendo a uma combinação de métodos (observações, entrevistas e análise da legislação nacional sobre a terra), o artigo propõem-se a analisar as dinâmicas de constituição, funcionamento e organização das associações agrarias no vale do Incomati, Marracuene. A pesquisa revela que um número considerável das associações visitadas funciona na informalidade formalizada, sem registo legal nem título de uso e aproveitamento da terra (DUAT). Esta informalidade manifesta-se igualmente na ocupação e uso dos espaços e infraestruturas de irrigação utilizadas pelos associados, na sua maioria fruto de “herança” colonial. As antigas valas de irrigação, foram transformadas em limites de terra entre associações (valas principais) e as demais (valas secundárias) tem sido usadas como limites de terra entre membros das mesmas associações. Nestas condições, os conflitos pelos limites e a competição pelo acesso a recursos tornam-se inevitáveis, num contexto de forte procura e crescente mercantilização da terra.

A relação entre educação popular e extensão rural é evidente em diversos textos que abordam a trajetória da extensão rural no Brasil e na América Latina. Em alguns casos, a extensão rural é apontada como influenciada pelo ideário da educação popular e, em outros, a educação popular é indicada como uma maneira de se fazer extensão rural. Por meio de uma revisão de literatura, mapeamos aportes acerca do vínculo entre ambas, tendo como recorte artigos científicos publicados em revistas, avaliados por pares e em língua portuguesa, recuperados nos seguintes repositórios: i) Periódicos Capes; ii) Google Acadêmico; iii) Web of Science; e iv) Scopus. Inicialmente, identificamos 19 publicações, as quais foram avaliadas com o intuito de selecionar as que de fato atendem o nosso objetivo. Ao final dessa análise, restaram oito artigos, os quais foram analisados e os resultados apresentados em nossa discussão. Foi possível concluir que a agroecologia é um ponto de encontro muito recorrente entre a extensão rural e a educação popular, em que majoritariamente se trabalha com intercâmbios, troca de saberes e construção coletiva do conhecimento.

Que experiências educacionais estiveram presentes na educação popular no Recife – importantes na configuração da Rede Municipal de Educação – além daquelas que estão relacionadas ao advento do Movimento de Cultura Popular (MCP) (1960-1964)? A educação popular na cidade, especialmente a Rede Municipal de Educação, é comumente indicada como oriunda do MCP, que ocorreu no Recife nos anos 1960-1964. Pensamos que, em uma configuração não linear e descontínua de espaço e tempo, outras experiências também foram importantes para constituir o que chamamos, hoje, de Rede Municipal de Educação do Recife. Dentre as experiências aconteceram as primeiras escolas municipais (escolas isoladas e reunidas), que começaram a funcionar juntamente com o governo do Estado de Pernambuco em 1895. A outra experiência foi o Centro Regional de Pesquisas Educacionais de Pernambuco, que se instalou em 1957 no Recife, especialmente a ideia de cultura popular ali promovida. Elas nos mostram, dentre outras coisas, que a formação da Rede Municipal do Recife vai além da experiência do MCP, como comumente é indicada.
Universidad Pública, y su rol en la construcción de ciudadanos responsables y críticos. Docencia, Investigación y Extensión desde la FBCB
Authors: Rodríguez María Celeste
Published: December 2023

La educación superior gratuita y de calidad representa un elemento fundamental para el desarrollo y evolución del país. Debiendo considerarse como una política de estado, independientemente del pensamiento político de los gobiernos que se sucedan.

En este artículo se intenta reflexionar respecto a la importancia de las universidades públicas, y en particular de nuestra casa de estudios tras 50 años de su fundación. Planteando cuál es su rol en la sociedad y de todos sus miembros activos, involucrados en tareas de docencia, investigación y extensión. Así, la docencia universitaria contribuye con la construcción de pensamiento crítico y profesiones responsables. Resulta fundamental, además, que en nuestras universidades se realicen tareas de investigación, las cuales contribuyen con el desarrollo de la región y el país, articulando los sectores públicos y privados, desde la universidad. Y, por último, pero no menos importante, las tareas de extensión, teniendo un rol fundamental en la transformación del entorno, articulando los conocimientos allí construidos con la sociedad en su conjunto.
Minor Voices in Salim Barakat’s “The Captives of Sinjar”: Deleuzian Perspective
Authors: Fatah Shajwan N. , Fatah Arsalan A.
Published: December 2023

Salim Barakat's The Captives of Sinjar (2016), has been read as historical accounts of the actual events that happened in Sinjar back in 2014. It appears to depict the accounts of Yazidi women who endured victimization at the hands of a collective of male perpetrators – ISIS – the Islamic State in Iraq and Sham fighters. However, in this paper, we unravel the signs and symbols of the text to show the invisible aspects of the incidents which are mediated through the perspective of the male narrator, Sarat. The narrative language employed within the text serves to engage readers at a cognitive level that encourages contemplation and fosters a heightened mental engagement. With the blend of magic reality mode and surrealist scenes, the linguistic approach facilitates the construction of vivid imageries, particularly concerning the portrayal of the mass execution of captives, as portrayed through meticulously selected artistic representations embedded within the novel’s fabric. This study aims to explore alternative dimensions of the novel. Through a close reading, we seek to establish links between the analysis and the theoretical framework of minor literature as examined by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. Central to our findings is the discernment of an enduring and dynamic struggle between marginalized and oppressed factions, juxtaposed against those in positions of dominance. Moreover, the study examines the intricate interplay between constructed notions of identity and the subjective realities of the characters.
“When will we lie down in darkness and have our light in ashes?” A Reader-Response Analysis of William Styron’s Lie Down in Darkness
Authors: Fatah Shokhan  M.
Published: December 2023

This paper highlights the literary achievement of William Styron’s (1925-2006) debut novel Lie Down in Darkness (1951) from a reader-response approach. The novel’s plot, characters, and themes evoke relatable emotions in the readers’ minds. By studying the emotional developments of the protagonist Peyton, through her thoughts, words, and symbols, this paper examines the emotional response the novel’s aestheticism provokes in readers. The research gives a brief background and explains the main premises of the reader-response theory according to the American critic Louise M. Rosenblatt. The study elucidates the tools of imagery and symbolism used by Styron to make readers reflect on their personal experiences in relation to issues like sin, guilt, loss, nostalgia, and failure. Through an exploration of the characters, themes, and narrative structure, this analysis reveals the novel’s capacity to resonate on a deeply personal and individual level. The Loftis family’s complex dynamics and internal struggles serve as a mirror through which readers reflect on their own experiences, forming unique connections and interpretations. The narrative’s shifting perspectives and temporal shifts invite readers to actively construct meaning, further fostering a dynamic reader-text relationship.

The Climate Smart Generation Community (GCI) is an example of a group of agents of change in the field of climate change who carry out social movement activities in the community to invite them to adapt, mitigate and save the environment. The Climate Smart Generation Community be an object of this research because it is a community that operates in the field of climate change through preventive and curative education for children to increase understanding of disaster mitigation and build the character of loving the environment from an early age. In social movements, politics is one of the supporting factors for inhibitors. This research using qualitative methods and constant comparative data analysis. Distance research data collection techniques support data collection through semi-structured interviews. The data collected is in the form of answers submitted by informants. The collected research data is then grouped, categorized, and themed into key terms, terms of equal value. These key terms are then connected, analyzed, and combined with existing research results as a form of support or refutation. This research found that political constellations at the regional to national levels did not significantly influence the movements carried out by GCI. In contrast to these conditions, local-level political stakeholders such as the RT to the Village Government provide support from permits to facilities in activities. Gatherings and proposals are the medium of communication used to gain local government support. Messages are one of the weapons for GCI to seek and gain support from political entities. The message regarding requests for sources and delivery of work programs to political entities, especially the government, was succesed. Not only getting support from seeds from the government, but GCI also gets support for access to other agencies and funding support through the competition process. Winning the race also resulted in trust from political entities.

In this article, desertification and dune progression over vegetation was quantified using remote sensing data. However, vegetation buried under sand blowout could not be counted using this method. Therefore, to estimate the extent of buried vegetation, a GPR campaign was conducted over the coastal sand-dune of Tottori Prefecture (Japan) in combination with a high-resolution topographic UAV-based survey of the topography. The results show that buried vegetation exists underneath sand-blowout, especially near the dune ridges, and can extend from 20 to 30 meters further than the estimate based on airborne remote sensing. Furthermore, the presence of palaeo-vegetation in palaeodune layers also provides the information on the long-term evolution of sand dunes, which can be used to reconstruct Quaternary coastal environments.

The generation of high-yielding rice mutants and their assessment under salt stress offers a great possibility to isolate salt tolerant line(s) with desired trait of interest. Two separate experiments were conducted at the seedling and reproductive stages of rice to assess the level of salinity tolerance of few advanced high-yielding rice mutants. In the first experiment, rice seedlings were grown under hydroponic conditions and 14-day-old seedlings were subjected to salt stress (EC=10 dS/m; 7 days). Salt stress caused significant reduction in root and shoot length and biomass and leaf chlorophyll content; however, a little reduction was found in the mutant Line-1. In contrast, a sharp increase in shoot Na+/K+ ratio was found in all the genotypes except, Binadhan-10, FL-478 and the mutant Line-1, which exhibited little increased ratio. The second experiment involved exposure of plant to salt stress (EC=10 dS/m) for three weeks at the late booting stage in a sizable plastic tub filled with field soil. Salt stress resulted in a significant decrease in yield and yield attributing traits in all the genotypes except Binadhan-10. Grain yield per panicle was found significantly positive correlation with panicle length, the number of filled grains per panicle, and 100-seed weight under both control and salt stress conditions. Based on the studied traits and stress tolerance indices, Binadhan-10 and mutant Line-1 categorized as salt tolerant and rest of the genotypes were categorized as susceptible, which is also evident from the biplot of principal component analysis. Considering the results from both of the experiments, mutant Line-1 was found tolerant genotype at both seedling and reproductive stage. However, further studies are required to determine the genetic issues controlling the salinity tolerance in mutant Line-1 and the high-yield potential of mutant Line-65 under control condition in a way to develop salt tolerant and high-yielding rice varieties, respectively.

The article reflects on the issue of the research method in public economic law.  In the first part, the concept of science is explained, which can be understood as a process consisting in the systematised pursuit of knowledge of the truth for idealistic or utilitarian purposes. The starting point is K. Jaspers’ definition, according to which the concept of science contains three elements: methodical cognition (1), certainty of knowledge (2), universal validity (3). Each of the elements indicated    is then considered. Methodical cognition is to be distinguished from thought. The former is cognition of reality presupposing an awareness of the research method and its limitations. The latter is driven by intuition. The use of the method should be strongly linked to the research objective. The author then refers to the second defining element: certainty in the science of law. In his view, certainty is sought    in answers to questions about the content of the law in force. Secondly, certainty   is sought in the criteria evaluating the law and the results of this evaluation. The third element, i.e. universal validity, is related to the generally accepted methods of interpretation and the fundaments of law lying in human rights and the human dignity that is their source. The second part of the paper focuses on defining the research objective and  the adequacy of the method, referring to the dogmatic, historical and comparative methods that should aim at determination the law in force and its evaluation. In the third part of the article, a proposal for a research method in public economic law is presented, which consists of three elements: presenting the context of the research objective, applying the dogmatic method, and evaluating the law in force. In the last part, attention is drawn to the need for uprightness of life, and therefore ethos, as a condition for the ability to recognize what is just.
