Authors: Mehedi M.Y. , Kamal D. , Azam K. , Khan Y.S.A
Published: November 2022

The levels of trace metals in surface water from the intertidal zone of ship breaking (Fouzdarhat, Madambibirhat and Kumira) and Halishahar (controlled zone) area, Chittagong were analyzed seasonally. The maximum concentration of Fe was found at Kumira varying from 65.710 to 67.900 µg ml-1 while the minimum was observed in Station-4 (0.119 to 0.122 µg ml-1). In case of Cu concentration, Fouzdarhat indicated the highest value ranging between 0.037 and 0.041 µg. ml-1. The lowest concentration of Cu was found in Halishahar (0.018 µg. ml-1) during pre-monsoon period. The level of Zn concentrations found in Fouzdarhat was twice the value observed in Halishahar. Cd concentrations were higher in Madambibirhat and Kumira in comparison with those at Halishahar. The concentration of different trace metals measured was found to be higher than the certified limit indicating deleterious effect on aquatic biota. However, concentrations of Pb were within the certified limit. The concentrations of trace metals in Halishahar (Controlled zone) were lower compared with those at ship breaking area. Besides, there were minimal seasonal fluctuations of trace elements observed in the studied four Stations. As per analysis and subsequent determinations the ship breaking area has been indicated as polluted zone.
INTERNAL PEOPLE INVOLVEMENT IN TQM PERSPECTIVE: AN INTEGRATED FRAMEWORK
Authors: Shahabuddin A.S.M.
Published: November 2022

Failure to harvest the expected benefits of TQM is often unjustly ascribed to the TQM itself without proper understanding of and fostering the inseparable link among development orientation of top management, servant leadership behavior and employee empowerment that unlock the potential for TQM success. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of internal people involvement and proposes a framework that shows how developmental orientation of top management, servant leadership and employee empowerment are linked together to evolve into total internal people involvement, a critical success factor for TQM. Organizations interested in continuous improvement can use this framework to train their people with a view to developing right attitude and aptitude for the successful initiation and implementation of TQM.

Effects of Mucoadhesive Gel Containing Propolis on Some Biochemical and Hematologic Parameters in Rats With Experimental Periodontitis
Authors: Ebrem Ömer , Ulutaş Pınar Alkım
Published: November 2022

This study aimed to investigate the effects of propolis-containing mucoadhesive gel in experimentally induced periodontitis in rats. Propolis-containing mucoadhesive gel was prepared by using chitosan with a modified mechanical method. Thirty-five Sprague Dawley rats were used in the study. Rats were divided five groups as negative control, periodontitis + 50 mg/dl propolis, periodontitis + 100 mg/dl propolis, periodontitis + chitosan and healthy control. Experimental periodontitis was induced by placing ligatures on the inferior frontal teeth. After 11 days, the ligatures were removed, and gel applications were started. On the eighth day, blood samples were taken under anaesthesia. Haematological and biochemical analyses were performed from whole blood and serum samples. As a result of the statistical analysis, non-statistically significant decreases were determined in serum CRP, IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α levels in the groups that were applied a mucoadhesive gel containing propolis. As a result, it was thought that mucoadhesive gel containing propolis might help treat periodontitis.
Calliphoridae Family (Insecta: Diptera) of Importance in Forensic Entomology, Larval Therapy, Medical, Veterinary and Vector of Pathogens
Authors: Marchiori Carlos Henrique
Published: November 2022

Adults of the Calliphoridae family are attracted to the odor generated by the wounds of all types of vertebrates, but they can also be found in flowers and foliage. Eggs are laid in substrates such as feces, carrion, necrotic tissue or healthy open-wounded tissue from which there the larvae develop. Adults primarily feed on exudates from previous substrates. The objective of this work is to investigate the biology, ecology, habitat, geographic distribution, taxonomy, life cycle, phenology, biological control, and work done on the Calliphoridae family (Insecta: Calliphoridae). A literature search involving articles published between 1950 and 2022 was conducted in order to carry out research related to quantitative, taxonomic, and conceptual aspects. A mini-review was prepared in Goiânia, Goiás, between September and October 2021, by means of the Biological Abstracts, Periodicals CAPE S and Scielo.
Assessment of Egg Quality of the Nigerian Local Pigeon (Columba Livia Domestica) in Gombe, Nigeria
Authors: JJ Okoh
Published: November 2022

The research was conducted to assess the egg quality of the Nigerian indigenous pigeons in three agro- ecological zone of Gombe state, namely; Gombe Central, South and North. 90 fresh eggs were randomly collected from these zones comprising of 30 eggs per zone to assess the external and internal egg quality of the domestic pigeon. Data were collected on egg weight, Egg length Egg width, Egg shell weight, Shell thickness and the Internal egg characteristics were albumen height, yolk height, albumen weight, yolk weight and Haugh unit. Results indicated that egg weight value were 14.052 ± 0.173, 14.385 ± 0.229 and 13.758 ± 0.99g in Gombe Central, South and Gombe North. The mean average of egg weight in the study area was 14.273 ± 0.1045g. However, egg weight was significantly (P<0.05) affected by location. Gombe South seems to have a heavier egg weight compared to Central and Gombe North. Albumen height value was 5.6100 ± 0.0044, 5.6933 ± 0.032, and 5.4333 ± 0.063mm in Gombe Central, South and Gombe North. The mean average of the albumen height in the study area was 5.6401 ± 0.03082mm. There was a significant difference (P<0.001) in albumen height across location. Yolk height value were 12.880 ± 0.12048, 13.206 ± 0.0475, 12.753 ± 0.12127g in Gombe Central, South and North, respectively. Overall yolk height was 13.0696 ± 0.06187mm, which was highly significant at (P<0.001) for location. Haugh unit values were 93.897 ± 0.02318, 94.120 ± 0.2493 and 93.158 ± 0.3237 in Gombe Central, South and North, respectively. However, there was a significant difference (P <0.01) in Haugh unit for location effect. Most correlation values were significant at 1%. However, a few were correlated at 5%. Egg weight is correlated with egg length (0.499; P<0.01), shell weight (0.28; P<0.01) and Haugh unit (-0.278; P<0.05). Albumen height was correlated with yolk length (0.23; P<0.05) and Haugh unit (0.0928; P<0.01). Conclusively, the high egg qualities are indication of good reproductive performance in the pigeons. Since most correlated responses were positive, selection for a particular egg characteristic could lead to positive responses in others and such correlated responses could be used to hasten selection processes to improve the pigeons.
A cross-sectional study to assess knowledge, attitude and practice among healthcare workers regarding COVID-19 at a National Institute of North India
Authors: Kumar-Munjal Sushil , Singh-Dhakad Megh , Kumar Manoj , Gogoi Sanjib
Published: November 2022

Background and Objectives. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are the frontline warriors of the battle against COVID-19 and are at high risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among HCWs play a vital role in preventing and spreading COVID-19. Hence, the current study aimed to assess KAP among HCWs regarding COVID-19. Methods. This descriptive, cross-sectional study enrolled 171 HCWs of a national institute in North India. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess KAP among HCWs regarding COVID-19. Descriptive statistical analysis was applied to compare and represent the level of association of KAP scores among HCWs. Results. Among HCWs (n=171), 106 (61.98%) were males, and 65 (38.01%) were females. Most (n=76; 44.44%) belonged to the 20-29 age group. The mean±S.D score of HCWs for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 42.76±2.14, 28.91±1.59 and 20.38±1.46, respectively. Excellent knowledge, attitude, and practice score were found in 66.1%, 69.1%, and 97.1% of HCWs, respectively. Knowledge score was maximum in resident doctors (44.09±1.13); however, multi-tasking staff (29.35±1.44), laboratory technicians (29.31±1.21), and ward boys (29.29±1.59) had better attitude scores. Nurses (28.44±1.69) and safaikaramacharis (28.11±1.96) had low attitude scores. The practice score of nurses and multi-tasking staff fared well than resident doctors. Knowledge and attitude scores were statistically associated with the profession and higher level of education. Conclusion. The study highlights that most HCWs have good KAP regarding COVID-19. Continuous dissemination of education on the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 is advised among HCWs to improve their knowledge. Hence, it will strengthen the health workforce in the battle against COVID-19.
Novel Reading as Aesthetic: The Nesting of Aesthetic Experiences and Reproduction of Aesthetic Perception
Authors: Li Zhaoming
Published: November 2022

This article discusses the nesting of the individual aesthetic experience and the reproduction process of aesthetic perception when an individual reads a novel. The essence of the “boundary” of the novelistic space is discussed first. This aesthetic process examines the relationship with the boundary of novelistic space. Next, I discuss two cognitive and dynamic outcomes that arise from the stimulation of “intervention” during the nesting of aesthetic experiences inside and outside the boundary. Finally, I argue that the reproduction process of aesthetic perception usually comes in the form of the “co-construction of opposites” due to the nesting of aesthetic experiences. This structure will make each individual's aesthetic experience distinctive and unique. In this research, a new viewpoint for reference will also be provided to research the arts’ aesthetic process in other forms.
G. H. Mead: Socially Structured Aesthetic Experiences
Authors: Wertz S. K.
Published: November 2022

In speaking of his analyses, George Herbert Mead (1863–1931) announces: “It is behavioristic where the approach to experience is made through conduct.” He turns this approach to the practice of the arts and the aesthetic experience. His approach consists of an analysis of gestures and attitudes as the beginning of acts that we bring with us to the activities in which we are engaged. A gesture would be, for example, offering someone a chair who has entered a room. Usually gestures and their responses form a conversation, in this case, acceptance or rejection of the offer. The attitude behind the offer would be generosity and friendliness—a sign of welcome. Within music, “a temporal dimension as that of the melody, or recognition of the notes and their distance from each other in the scale, and our appreciation of these as actually affected by the beginning of our response to the later notes, as when we are expecting a certain sort of ending . . . . It is that attitude that gives the character of our appreciation of all extended musical compositions.” Instead of the part–whole understanding of the arts, he argues for a whole–part relationship within a social context of the actions that make up a performance or object. How far will this thesis take us? I explore answers to this question.
Pedagogy, Hyperreality, and Agency—To Sound Out Education Effects Ascribed to a Video Game
Authors: Kraus Anja
Published: November 2022

Whereas utopia is the vision of an ideal community, dystopias create the image of a cataclysmic decline of society and environment. This article deals with the construction of personal agency and the analysis of digital simulation that is reflected in an online commercial for a first-person survival horror video game. Agency is understood here as the capacity to act in the virtual environment that is ascribed to the actor by the marketing strategy. Applying approaches from phenomenology, simulation theory, and sound studies, the analysis proceeds in reference to a corresponding educational political agenda. The findings show a certain discrepancy between the more utopian education political rhetoric and the more dystopian construction of personal agency in the video game context, a discrepancy from which specific educational challenges emerge. Finally, even if a case study generally cannot be seen as representative, its results present a direction for the further investigation of virtual reality from the education perspective as suggested by international policies.

The discipline of the religious factor in the Church of England: perspectives on constitutional inclusivism

ABSTRACT: The Church of England reproduced the characteristics of national churches in which rulers were free to choose the religion to be professed and subjects obliged to observe it. This condition persisted until 1689 when William III of Orange passed an ʹact of tolerationʹ by which a certain religious freedom was fostered, albeit in embryonic form, effectively paving the way for the stabilization of the different sensibilities, theological and ecclesiological, present in the aforementioned ecclesial reality and currently converged in the High Church, Low Church and Broad Church. In this regard, it is worth recalling the positive factors that these components have offered to today's Anglican Church, among which the right of ecclesial reorganization, inclusivism and lay participation in ecclesiastical government undoubtedly stand out. In the latter direction, therefore, must be understood the Synodical Government Measure of 1969 by which a parallel constitutional structure, inspired by the revaluation of the synodal element, through which the ʹequalʹ participation of bishops, presbyters and laity in the potestas gubernandi was ensured in the Church of England, alongside the secular hierarchical chain that reaches from the sovereign down to the faithful, was introduced. Indeed, it is no accident that the Anglican Church "is episcopally led and synodically governed”.

Published: November 2022

En el estado Nueva Esparta, Venezuela, el mapurite Haemulon melanurum se ha convertido en un recurso con una alta demanda para el consumo debido a su bajo costo, pero los aspectos biológicos y pesqueros han sido poco estudiados en el país. En este sentido, el objetivo del presente estudio fue estimar el crecimiento y la mortalidad de este recurso con la finalidad de sugerir medidas de manejo. Se realizaron muestreos mensuales desde enero hasta diciembre 2015, obteniéndose 2,473 ejemplares y se registró la longitud total (cm) y peso (g) de cada ejemplar. Se encontró que no existe diferencia entre sexos con respecto a la longitud (ts = 1.53; p > 0.05), por lo que se estimó la relación longitud-peso para ambos sexos: P = 0.0116 * L3.064, mostrando un crecimiento alométrico. Se utilizaron las rutinas del paquete FiSAT para estimar los parámetros del modelo de crecimiento individual de von Bertalanffy: L∞ = 33.38 cm, k = 0.42 /año, P∞ = 539.10 g, t0 = -0.38 años. Se calculó una edad máxima de 7 años ≈. El índice de crecimiento phi prima fue Ø′ = 2.67. La tasa de mortalidad natural (M = 0.98/año) fue alta, posiblemente por causa de depredación y enfermedades, entre otros. Las tasas de mortalidad por pesca (F = 2.70/año) y mortalidad total (Z = 3.69/año) fueron altas. La tasa de explotación (E = 0.73/año) indican que es probable que H. melanurum esté sobreexplotado por la pesca artesanal en el archipiélago Los Frailes.

Authors: Mahmoodpour Mohammad , Maleki Mohammad Reza , Mollazade Kaveh
Published: November 2022

Aim of study: To develop a methodology for variable rate (VR) fertilization with less complexity in practice for variable rate fertilization.
Area of study: Northwest of Iran.
Materials and methods: A software was developed to read a soil map image pixel-by-pixel to provide the required information to tailor the fertilizer rate, regardless of which software was used for map generation. A total of 78 soil samples were collected and analyzed for soil potassium, and the results were used to generate an actual map including zones ranging from 70 to 190 kg/ha. The application rates were evaluated based on 50 deposition pans and compared with those calculated from the actual map. Based on the lag time in fertilization, three applied maps were also generated.
Main results: The correlation coefficients found between the application rates computed based on the original soil samples and posted the locations of the sample points on the applied maps were 0.95, 0.95, and 0.94, over the ravel speeds of 6, 7, and 8 km/h, respectively. The results showed there is a correlation coefficient of 0.96 with an RMSE of 1.88 kg/ha, where the application rates computed from deposition pans compared with the corresponding location on the actual map. All applied maps were identical to the actual map. The results showed that the VR fertilization based on a direct read of a map image operated as expected.
Research highlights: Fertilizer application was based on the direct read of map image. This study highlights also the need of new approaches in programing for simplicity of precision agriculture.

Published: November 2022

This empirical study attempts to investigate the causal relationships between the predictors of online learning readiness and its effects on learning engagement and perceived teaching quality. In other words, the study aims to explore the direct relationship between goal orientation and perceived teaching quality, on the one hand, and the students’ learning engagement and perceived teaching quality and their indirect relationships via online learning readiness. A total of 703 students from Malaysian and Omani higher institutions voluntarily participated in this study following the quota sampling technique. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data gathered. The results of the analysis suggested that the goal orientation and perceived self-efficacy were statistically and directly related to learning engagement and perceived teaching quality and indirectly via online learning readiness.Furthermore, the analysis showed that goal orientation has a direct positive and significant relationship with learning engagement and perceived teaching quality and positive indirect relationships with them via online learning readiness. However, while perceived self-efficacy had a direct positive correlation with learning engagement, it had a negative and direct relation with perceived teaching quality but a positive indirect relationship via online learning readiness. Hence, due to the ongoing covid19 global pandemic, this study implicates that highlighting the roles of goal and efficacy in an online context is essential because they would affect students’ learning engagement and their evaluation of teaching quality.
The geopolitics of trillion US$ oil & gas rents
Authors: Verbruggen Aviel
Published: November 2022

Physical oil and gas abundance, turned in market scarcity, do prices of oil and gas spike and cashed rents mount. For the years 1970-2020, the rents from crude oil and natural gas sales are expressed in US$-2020, revealing the magnitude and volatility of the money flows. Peak rents coincide with turmoil implying particular oil & gas exporting countries. Oil & gas geopolitics metamorphosed from conquering oil deposits to precluding oil & gas exports by ‘hostile’ nations. Such preclusions turn physical abundance in market scarcity, boosting oil & gas prices and rents (also called royalties, windfall, excess profits). Rent skimming is also a part of the 2022 Ukraine war. Climate change mitigation intensifies geopolitical efforts to curtail the exports of ‘hostile’ nations.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Food and nutrition are fundamental in maintaining the general and oral health of populations. Health status can be affected by nutrient deficiency and vice versa. Dietary guidelines were developed to provide evidence-based food and beverage recommendations to populations to promote a diet that meets nutritional needs and prevents diet-related illness. Objective: Aimed to carry out a concise systematic review to elucidate through clinical studies the real relationship between nutrition and oral health. Methods: The rules of the Systematic Review-PRISMA Platform. The research was carried out from August to October 2022 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, using scientific articles from 2005 to 2022. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 125 articles were found. In total, 75 articles were fully evaluated and 35 were included and evaluated in this systematic review. It was concluded that food and nutrition are fundamental in maintaining the general and oral health of populations. Health status can be affected by nutrient deficiency and vice versa. Nutrology can promote a diet that meets nutritional needs and prevent diet-related diseases such as tooth decay. It was evidenced that malnutrition can significantly affect oral health and vice versa. A diet lacking in nutrients can lead to the progression of oral cavity disease by altering tissue homeostasis, reducing resistance to microbial biofilm, and decreasing tissue healing. It can also affect the development of the oral cavity.

Published: November 2022

Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is a type of food allergy (FA), that is, a reaction of the immune system in the gastrointestinal tract due to the ingestion of proteins such as beta-lactoglobulin, alphalactalbumin, and casein. This condition most substantially affects children in the early stages of their development, about 2% of the American child population, and, consequently, directly or indirectly influences the families of each of them. In the Brazilian context, the epidemiological analysis is shallow in quantitative and qualitative data. Because of this, this study aims to understand the path of patients with CMPA, from diagnosis to treatment, and how their income and their knowledge of their rights in the Unified Health System interfere throughout this process. A form was used as a method to collect data from families with CMPA patients, accounting for 107 in all, which were consulted through online communities. Facing the financial and nutritional challenges of treating a child with CMPA and, at the same time, with the results obtained, the authors of this study were able to verify that, despite the high cost of adapting the diet of this AA, the economic factor was not it was relevant within this consulted microcosm regarding treatment, but slightly influential in the diagnosis. Analyzing the knowledge of the benefit offered by SUS concerning the child's nutritional supplementation, it was possible to verify that, of a total of 44 people, about 45%, know the benefit, but do not use it, and do not perform the supplementation. So, for this and other obtained relations, the study concluded that low income is not a limiting factor for the treatment of patients with CMPA, being slightly influential in the way in which families seek the diagnosis of this FA. In line with this view, it was possible to note the high evasion of SUS Primary Care and the non-use of the formulas offered, although they are sometimes known by the target audience.
Agricultural Use of Natural Biostimulants – Humic Substances: a Rview
Authors: Kłeczek Aneta
Published: November 2022

This work presents the characteristics of humic substances, with particular emphasis on the properties of agricultural importance, i.e., the improvement of soil structure, soil properties and the availability of nutrients. Attention was also paid to the methods of introducing given substances into the soil and the possibility of direct application to the plant surface. The mechanisms responsible for the stimulating and protective effect of humic substances on plant development were explained in detail, including phytohormonal regulation, the mitigation of biotic and abiotic stresses, antioxidant properties and the influence on seed germination and the development of the plant root system. The economic and environmental importance of the application of the substances in question was also emphasized, consisting of maintaining the health of the soil and the quality of plants, while reducing the share of chemical fertilizers and reducing the amount of water used. It should be noted that humic substances, like any agricultural product, should be appropriately selected for the type of cultivation conducted, i.e., the optimal dose and method of application should be determined.
Influence of Abrasive Treatment of Steel Fibers on the Effectiveness of Anchoring in Concrete
Authors: Janikowska Dorota
Published: November 2022

The article presents an original proposal to improve the efficiency of anchoring steel fibers in fibroconcrete mixtures. The expected effect was obtained by developing the surface of the fibers by mechanical abrasive treatment with electrocorundum. The main part of the work presents the results of the conducted experimental studies. The effect of the surface treatment of the fibers was investigated by means of metallographic techniques, using a metallographic microscope and equipment for determining the surface roughness. On the other hand, the direct method of assessing the effectiveness of fiber anchoring in the concrete was determined with the use of the Pull – Out test. The results of these studies were subjected to detailed analysis and statistical processing. The results of metallographic and Pull – Out tests indicate that the proposed method of treating the fibers significantly affects their anchoring efficiency in the concrete matrix. According to the author, this may be of great practical importance, because the discussed method of treating the fibers can significantly improve the general properties of fibrocomposite mixtures.
Innovative Method of Forecasting the Generator Gas Composition after the Process of Pyrolysis and Gasification
Authors: Slowak Anna Maria
Published: November 2022

The article presents a new approach to forecasting the composition of producer gas. Thermochemical treatment of biomass as an effective method of producing flammable gas was presented. The methods of predicting the gas composition of the generator are described, and then its efficiency depending on the parameters of the device. In order to create a method for forecasting gas composition, the authors' works were used as the basis, in which the energy characteristics of the gases obtained were assessed. It was assumed in this paper that it is very important to understand the influence of each parameter on the energy characteristics of the gas.

The Short-Term and Seasonal Trend Detection of Sediment Discharges in Turkish Rivers
Authors: Halil Ibrahim Burgan
Published: November 2022

Hydrometeorological variables are tested by trend methods to be able to detect trends in river basins. Mann-Kendall, Spearman’s rho tests are widely used as traditional trend methods. Besides that, some new trend tests are applied to hydrometeorological variables as Innovative Trend Analysis (ITA). Sediment discharge observations are more difficult than other hydrometeorological variables. In general, sediment data are observed in monthly time scale. Therefore, there are very limited studies on sediment data, especially in Turkey. In this study, Innovative Trend Analysis (ITA), Mann-Kendall, Correlated Mann-Kendall and Seasonal Mann-Kendall trend analyses are applied to sediment discharges in Turkish river basins. According to Mann-Kendall, Correlated Mann-Kendall and Seasonal Mann Kendall results, positive trends have detected only 8, 2 and 20 gauging stations, respectively. Then, 30 positive and 15 negative trends by ITA methodology. The trend slopes calculated from ITA methodology are categorized because some positive and negative of trends are weak. The applied trend methods are evaluated together considering climate properties of hydrological regions in Turkey. Increasing trends on sediment data are detected from the rivers from Mediterranean region of Turkey. The results of the study would help to manage water resources as well as sustainable development in the Turkish river basins.

The goal of this study is to determine the crop water stress index (CWSI) and irrigation scheduling based on CWSI values, as well as to examine the correlations between CWSI, physiological parameters and grain yield of corn hybrid P31A34 in semi-arid climate conditions. In 2014 and 2015, the upper limit (UL) temperatures at which plants were entirely exposed to water stress were at 1.178°C and 2.38°C respectively. When the corn grain yield began to decline, the CWSI threshold value was 0.34, indicating the yield limit. Grain yield, crop water consumption, crop water stress index, chlorophyll content, water use efficiency and leaf area index were found to have negative correlations (p ≤ 0.01) with CWSI values in both years of the study. The findings revealed that in semi-arid climate conditions, a maximum of 30% water deficit can be used during the growing period of the corn compared to full irrigation (I100) for water savings, and that water deficits greater than 30% result in considerable grain yield losses. In areas where water resources are limited, the moderate water deficit (I70) may be a viable alternative to the I100.

This work is described as a proposal to apply modern control techniques and automation tools for optimal plant growth, also it was based on key agricultural strategies that were developed by ancient civilizations such as the Inca Empire. Many of them ancient techniques including the Inca engineering of andenes were forgotten or set aside through time. In this research, however, some of these key techniques are revisited to analyze and evaluate optimal plant growth using sensors and actuators that were not available in ancient civilizations. In addition, predictive and adaptive mathematical models are used for plant growth analysis of thermodynamic parameters such as temperature, humidity and potential of Hydrogen (pH). Furthermore, there were compared performances of sensors (electromechanical sensors) with designed sensors that were based in nanostructures, because of better study of the plant growth techniques.

O presente artigo trata da medicalização-patologização da infância dentro do ambiente escolar. A pesquisa ocorreu com uma turma de Educação Infantil de uma escola pública de Sobral/CE, guiou-se pela cartografia, utilizando observação participante, a partir da inserção de um dos pesquisadores na sala de aula, como método de coleta de dados, foi utilizado entrevista, com uma das professoras da turma, e diário de campo. O referencial teórico atravessou nossos estudos sobre a infância, também estudos sócio-históricos e abordagens crítico políticas. Com a pesquisa percebem-se as linhas de controle e agenciamento social exercidas sobre as crianças e também reproduzidas por elas sobre as diferenças que emergem no cotidiano escolar, bem como fizeram-se visíveis linhas de resistência a esse controle, tanto presente nas ações das crianças, como da professora e da pesquisa. Assim, a pesquisa aponta a potência existente no campo escolar, ainda que visto como um campo de controle da vida.
Celulares, perfis e a dimensão online da existência: uma etnografia sobre as experiências sexuais de jovens de uma escola pública do Recife
Authors: Queiroz Tacinara Nogueira de , Rios Luís Felipe
Published: November 2022

O artigo reflete sobre as experiências sexuais de jovens de uma escola do Recife (PE), considerando a agência das novas tecnologias da informação e comunicação. É um ensaio etnográfico realizado por meio de observação participante na escola e nas redes sociais na internet, e também através de rodas de conversa. O smartphone e as redes sociais online são importantes agentes na construção de significados e práticas sexuais. Seguidores/as, crushes, namorados/as, ficantes e assediadores são personagens de roteiros eróticos que povoam interações afetivo-sexuais nos perfis do Facebook e Instagram. Os perfis são expressões online do si mesmo e são produzidos cuidadosamente, de modo a receber curtidas e comentários, expressões de que se é desejado/a. Curtidas, conversas e afinidades são elementos importantes para a emergência do sexo à distância online, que vai ocorrer no privado das redes, em especial no Messenger e no Whatsapp.
Óbito perinatal: refletindo sobre narratividade, o uso das redes sociais e a elaboração psíquica possível
Authors: Aguiar Helena Carneiro
Published: November 2022

O óbito perinatal ocorre em um delicado momento existencial e exige um trabalho de elaboração psíquica bastante singular. A dificuldade da rede de apoio em reconhecer a dor dos pais, a virtualidade do objeto perdido e a ambivalência contida no bebê dificultam que a experiência vivida seja inscrita na cadeia de simbolizações, contribuindo para que o trabalho de luto perinatal seja potencialmente problemático e possa ser vivido como traumático. Aponto nesse manuscrito que pode haver um trabalho de subjetivação que represente uma tentativa de ligação elaborativa através do uso criativo das redes sociais. A internet pode se apresentar como espaço potencial, tal qual definido por Winnicott, e se constituir como uma via promissora para expressão criativa diante do luto perinatal, onde os pais podem tanto narrar suas experiências (aproximando-as do mundo da linguagem e, portanto, aproximando-as de uma possível elaboração), como também sentirem-se pertencendo a um grupo com o qual podem se identificar.Palavras-chave:Luto Perinatal; espaço potencial; criatividade; redes sociais

Published: November 2022

Community development is hinged on inclusive participation of beneficiary communities but in most cases some members of the community are not able to participate due to some factors which include among others social and economic factors despite the fact they may be willing and ready to participate. In view of this, the study examined how social and economic factors affect fisherfolk participation in community development in Okrika Local Government Area of Rivers State. Two research objectives and two research questions guided the study. The design of the study was descriptive survey and the population of the study consisted of 796 members of four fisherfolks community-based organisations (FCBOs) in the local government area, out of which 240 members were randomly selected for the study. Data for the study was collected with a validated questionnaire titled “Questionnaire on Socio-Economic factors affecting Fisherfolks Participation in Community Development”. Data collected was analysed with Mean and Standard deviation. Findings showed that socio-economic factors that affect fisherfolk participation in community development in the area of study include gender, level of education, family size, financial status. Based on the findings, the researchers recommended among others that fisherfolk settlements should be provided with formal and non-formal educational institutions, skilling, reskilling and upskilling educational programmes to equip members with relevant skills for better livelihood.

The cultivar Sanguínea de Mombuca (Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck) bears lycopene-rich fruits with attractive red pulp and high nutritional value; thus, this cultivar has the potential to diversify orchards for the production of fruits for natural consumption and juice. Therefore, studies on the productive performance in combination with rootstocks are required. This study evaluated the phenological cycles, yield, ripening curve, and fruit quality of this cultivar grafted onto ‘Rangpur’ lime and ‘Swingle’ citrumelo. The study was conducted in the Midwest of the state of São Paulo, in the subtropical region of southeastern Brazil, and the field experiment was performed over two consecutive seasons. Rootstocks had little effect on the duration of the phenological cycles. The fruit ripening curve predicted the time of harvest as approximately 240 days after anthesis, regardless of rootstock. Fruits harvested from trees grafted onto ‘Swingle’ citrumelo showed higher levels of soluble solids and sugars and higher technological indices. The larger number of fruits and greater fresh weight confirmed that better yield performance occurred with the trees grafted onto the ‘Rangpur’ lime as opposed to the ‘Swingle’ citrumelo rootstock.
