Published: July 2024

El Tratado de Marrakech es un pacto universal que tiene como propósito facilitar el acceso a las obras publicadas para personas con discapacidad visual o dificultades para acceder a textos impresos. En el caso particular de Ecuador, se ratificaron oficialmente los compromisos desde el año 2016. Este hecho fue considerado como un acontecimiento significativo que dio inicio a un enfoque renovado en materia de Propiedad Intelectual en el país. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo proponer un plan estratégico para facilitar el acceso a obras en formatos accesibles en bibliotecas públicas manabitas de acuerdo con lo establecido en el Tratado de Marrakech. El estudio tuvo un enfoque cualitativo, con un alcance descriptivo. Para la obtención de información se utilizó la técnica de entrevista, lo que permitió recopilar declaraciones de los bibliotecarios, con el propósito de determinar el grado de adhesión a las disposiciones del Tratado de Marrakech en las bibliotecas públicas sujetas a análisis. Los resultados evidenciaron que el acceso a la información como derecho humano esencial permite la participación y el conocimiento en la sociedad. En este sentido, el Tratado de Marrakech busca facilitar la accesibilidad de obras en formatos accesibles para personas con discapacidad visual. A pesar de los desafíos en las bibliotecas públicas de Ecuador, se destaca su compromiso legal y se propone un plan estratégico para promover la inclusión y la igualdad de acceso al conocimiento para personas con discapacidad visual.

Conclusion: Android-based infants and toddler growth and development applications can help posyandu cadres in recording and reporting, and make posyandu activities more effective.
DOES THE COMPLEXITY OF A TRAVEL WEBSITE AFFECT CONSUMERS' WILLINGNESS TO WRITE A RECOMMENDATION?
Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Economics in Subotica, Serbia, Marić Dražen , Džever Sanja , Kostić Dunja
Published: July 2024

Paid promotions have become less significant for modern travelers due to the high risk involved in the decision-making process. Instead, non-commercial and limitless Internet recommendations (electronic word of mouth - eWOM) are considered as crucial sources of information. Therefore, the subject of this paper is the eWOM recommendation system, with a particular emphasis on travel websites. Over 30% of Internet users have rated products and/or services at least once through the network. However, very little is known about what influences travelers to share their experiences, beyond their concern for others and desire for enjoyment/positive self-enhancement. To analyze the influence of travel website complexity (presence of text, ease of use, and updated content) on consumer behavior, Pearson's Correlation test is used. The analysis results indicate that attitude toward the travel website has a positive effect on the consumers' willingness to write a recommendation. The main findings suggest how to effectively design engaging travel websites that can compete successfully in a highly competitive information environment.

Authors: Babayev Nusret , Sabzaliyev Sifariz
Published: July 2024

Modern common accounting methods have been created and improved over the years; nevertheless, finding methods for their improvement still remains relevant. Thus, in the work it was decided to evaluate one of the important components of accounting for many enterprises in Azerbaijan, namely the assessment and display of intellectual assets, as well as to propose methods for their improvement based on the experience of other countries. Therefore, the purpose of the work is to find the shortcomings in the valuation of intellectual assets existing in the modern accounting system of the country and offer them an alternative or an opportunity for improvement. The main method in the study was analysis, since during the work the primary processing of significant amounts of data was carried out. Other methods can also be noted, namely comparison, historical, induction and others. Thus, some methods of valuation of intellectual assets at Azerbaijani enterprises were evaluated in the work. It has been shown that the most commonly used are the historical method of valuation, as well as fair value. Subsequently, a much larger number of them were described, proposed by other scientists and referred to under other reporting standards. In addition, the features of the process of subsequent revaluation of intellectual assets are indicated, as well as the corresponding entries that the accountant must make, depending on some variables. The work brings new knowledge for the formation of the basic principles of accounting, in particular in the context of intellectual assets and their display in statements
Machine Learning Model for Adverse Drug Reaction Detection Based on Naive Bayes and XGBoost Algorithm
Authors: E. Blessing , E. Anthony , U. Uduakobong , U. Anietie , U. Ndueso
Published: July 2024

Adverse drug effects, commonly referred to as adverse drug reactions (ADRs), represent undesirable and unintended responses to medications or pharmaceutical products when used at recommended doses for therapeutic purposes. These effects can range from mild, tolerable symptoms to severe, life-threatening conditions and can manifest in various ways, affecting different organ systems within the human body. ADE analysis plays a pivotal role in prioritizing patient safety. By meticulously examining the relationship between drug administration and patient responses, healthcare providers can tailor medications to individual profiles, minimizing risks of adverse reactions. This ensures a patient-centric approach to treatment, where prescriptions are finely tuned to maximize efficacy while minimizing potential harm. This research aims to address this challenge by developing a machine learning system utilizing the Naive Bayes and XGBoost algorithms to enhance the categorization of drugs with adverse effects, ultimately contributing to improved patient safety and healthcare decision-making. In our approach, we made a system that detects ADR to effectively combine and collate patient medical history and drug information to detect if a patient would suffer adverse effects or reaction after taking the medication in its correct expert prescribed dose. The XGBoost algorithm gave a 75% accuracy score while Naive Bayes algorithm gave a score of 99%.

“Que el alimento sea tu medicina”: el dilema de la falta de acceso a la terapia alimentaria en enfermedad celíaca
Authors: Echague Francisco , Pinto-Sánchez M. Inés
Published: July 2024

Presentación del caso
La enfermedad celíaca (EC) es la única patología autoinmune en la cual se conoce el principal desencadenante: el gluten.1 Es así que la adherencia a una estricta dieta libre de gluten (DLG) es esencial en las personas con EC para la recuperación de la mucosa intestinal, el alivio sintomático y la reducción del riesgo de complicaciones como anemia ferropénica, fracturas osteoporóticas y cáncer de intestino delgado.2
Sin embargo, el estricto cumplimiento de la DLG puede dificultarse debido a desafíos sociales y sobre todo por los altos costos de los alimentos libres de gluten.3 Estudios en diferentes poblaciones en Norte América y Europa reportan un costo entre 4 y 5 veces mayor en los alimentos libres de gluten comparado aquellos que contienen gluten.4 Esto es particularmente problemático para quienes dependen de estos alimentos para mantener su salud, como en el caso de la EC.
Magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere at the outer planets
Authors: Ray Licia C.
Published: July 2024

Jupiter and Saturn host some of the most brilliant aurorae in the Solar System. Omnipresent, yet variable in intensity and planetographic extent, these emissions are just one sign of magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere (MIT) coupling between giant planets and their surroundings. These rapidly rotating planets are coupled to their surrounding plasma discs through their planetary magnetic fields, which mediate the exchange of angular momentum and energy through a complex system of currents. Lorentz forces, Joule heating, and precipitating particles associated with MIT coupling modify the underlying atmosphere and affect magnetospheric flows. In the magnetosphere, angular momentum drawn from each planet accelerates plasma as it is transported away from its source location, predominately Io at Jupiter and Enceladus at Saturn. Alfvén waves and quasi-static electric fields associated with MIT coupling accelerate particles into the planetary atmospheres, generating auroral emission. Energy is also deposited into the thermosphere through Joule heating associated with corotation enforcement currents. However, questions remain as to how this energy is redistributed across the planets to produce the observed thermospheric temperatures, which exceed predictions by 100s of Kelvin. This tutorial talk reviews the current understanding of MIT coupling at the outer planets, focusing primarily on the Jovian system in light of recent advances in understanding from Juno.
Ice Giant Magnetospheres
Authors: Paty Carol
Published: July 2024

The Ice Giant Magnetospheres provide some of the most interesting natural laboratories for studying the influence of large obliquities, rapid rotation, highly asymmetric magnetic fields, and large Alfvénic and sonic Mach numbers on magnetospheric processes. Uranus is subjected to extreme seasonal variations resulting from the nearly 98° tilt of its rotation axis. At both Uranus and Neptune, the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction varies dramatically on diurnal and seasonal timescales due to the apparent offset and large tilt of the dipole field. With in situ observations limited to a single encounter by the Voyager 2 spacecraft, a growing number of analytical and numerical models have been put forward to characterize ice giant magnetospheres and test hypothesis related to magnetospheric boundary layers, the solar wind interaction, the formation of the radiation belts, understanding charged particle precipitation, aurora, and energy deposition to the atmosphere, and quantifying potential plasma sources and the distribution of plasma observed. Yet despite these recent studies, many questions regarding the observations of the Ice Giant magnetospheres remain unanswered. This has led to great community interest in revisiting these distant worlds, with the Decadal Survey placing the Uranus Orbiter and Probe (UOP) as the highest flagship mission priority, and the Planetary Mission Concept Study Neptune Odyssey receiving tremendous support as well. In this tutorial I will describe the current understanding of the ice giant magnetosphere, as well as the key magnetospheric science questions motivating the UOP mission.
ASKERÎ BİR DOKTRİN OLARAK GAYRİ NİZAMİ HARP: SOSYOLOJİK VE TAKTİK YAPININ İDEOLOJİ KAVRAMI ÜZERİNDEN ANALİZİ
Authors: Tavşantepe Anıl
Published: July 2024

Devletlerin güvenlik politikalarına yön veren gayri nizami savaş olgusu güçsüzlerin, güçlüye karşı yürüttüğü asimetrik ve ideolojik bir mücadeledir. Toplumsal yaşantıdan bağımsız irdelenemeyen düzensiz savaş kavramı günümüzün siyasal ve sosyolojik koşulları içinde, asimetrik bir etki alanı yaratmaya başlamıştır. Burada geleneksel veya konvansiyonel savaş anlayışının öneminin azalması; yıkıcı, asimetrik aktörlerin başını çektiği gayri nizami savaş konseptinin geliştirilmesi sonucunu doğurmuştur. Bu araştırmada devletlerin güvenlik paradigmalarına yön veren, dışa ve içe dönük tehdit algılamalarını farklılaştıran gayri nizami savaş doktrinleri, ideoloji ve askerî taktik bağlamında tartışılacaktır. Araştırmamızın temel iddiası, gayrin nizami yöntemlerle yürütülen savaşların sosyal ve ideolojik gerçeklikle aynı düzlemde birbiriyle kesiştiğidir. Gayri nizami harbin teknik ve metodolojik yapısıyla ilişkilendirilen Ayaklanmaya Karşı Koyma, Psikolojik Harp, Kontrgerilla Harekâtı ve Gayri Nizami Kuvvetlere Karşı Harekât gibi askerî taktiklerle bütünleşen çeşitli yaklaşımların ideolojik, sosyolojik ve felsefî arka planının anlamlandırılması akademik literatüre katkı sağlayacağı değerlendirilmektedir. Bu çerçevede gayri nizami harbin ideolojik, sosyolojik ve askerî taktik boyutunun geniş bir eksende değerlendirilebilmesi için konvansiyonel savaş anlayışının değişim ve dönüşümünün tartışılması gerekmektedir. Çünkü askerî kuvvet ve organizasyonların ağırlık merkezine yerleştiği geleneksel savaş konseptlerinin değişime uğramasında siyasal ideolojilerin rol oynadığı ifade edilebilir. Dolayısıyla gayri nizami harp doktrinlerine gelindiğinde, ideolojinin yıkıcı etkisiyle savaşın yönü değiştiği, harbin askeri olmaktan daha çok siyasal ve sosyolojik bir boyuta evrildiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

La racionalidad de la vida afectiva
Authors: Bellomo Santiago
Published: July 2024

El siglo XX permitió el desarrollo de una nueva y más profunda visión sobre el psiquismo humano y su dinámica. La afectividad adquiere en esta visión un protagonismo similar al que otrora tuviera la razón. Esta última queda en algunos autores relegada a cumplir un rol secundario y subsidiario. El artículo pretende reinterpretar la relación entre afectividad y razón a la luz de los aportes de la fenomenología y la hermenéutica filosóficas, tomando en cuenta también los aportes de la psicología cognitiva. Revelará, así, una profunda relación circular entre ambos elementos, que sólo se vislumbra en la medida en que las nociones mismas de afectividad y racionalidad se ven reinterpretadas.
El Concilio de Sens: un episodio del siglo XII
Authors: Beltrán Oscar
Published: July 2024

El artículo propone un reencuentro con el conflicto suscitado a mediados del siglo XII entre dos de las más relevantes figuras del Medioevo: Bernardo de Claraval y Pedro Abelardo. La leyenda ha enturbiado esta historia presentando una confrontación entre dos arquetipos: fe y razón, tradición y renovación, autoridad y espíritu crítico. A la luz de nuevas investigaciones, se recapitulan los acontecimientos y se destacan los matices que contribuyen a resignificarlos. Se pretende concluir que el esquema interpretativo de un antagonismo férreo ya no es válido, y que, más allá de los personajes, debe visualizarse el episodio como señal de un cambio de época.
La repercusión como fundamento de la actividad imaginaria según Paul Ricœur
Authors: Díez Fischer Francisco
Published: July 2024

En el pensamiento de Paul Ricœur, la libertad se acompaña siempre de la imaginación. En este sentido, la imaginación es definida como la tarea de mediar entre las tensiones que el hombre vive como consecuencia de su inherente desproporción entre finito e infinito. Esta tarea se apoya sobre una característica del mundo que posibilita la operación de la imaginación. Ella implica una conexión pre-refl exiva entre la interioridad humana y el mundo de la vida. Se trata del fenómeno sonoro de la repercusión (retentissement) que constituye una influencia directa que Ricœur recibe de Gaston Bachelard y de Eugène Minkoswski. El enfoque del presente trabajo es develar la herencia de este fenómeno, poco estudiado en la filosofía ricœuriana, a la luz de la evolución de la función imaginativa.

Male infertility is a widespread health issue globally, frequently remaining untreated due to stigmatization and the challenges in diagnosis and treatment. This review presents a comprehensive update on the literature covering key aspects such as causes, diagnostic techniques, and treatment options for managing male factor infertility. It includes an in-depth analysis of global infertility data, using resources from the World Health Organization, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Medline, PubMed, and Scopus databases to gather relevant articles on male infertility. A total of 41 articles from 2000-2023 were reviewed. High throughput techniques, along with sophisticated assays, are being employed for accurate diagnosis. Surgical procedures such as testicular sperm extraction, vasovasostomy, vasoepididymostomy, sperm retrieval techniques, and non-surgical procedures including sclerotherapy, gonadotropin-releasing hormone therapy, and antiestrogens are available to treat infertile males.  Additionally, in recent years, flavonoids have been extensively explored for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune-stimulating, anti-apoptotic, anticarcinogenic, anti-allergic, and antiviral activities. These properties of flavonoids are being investigated for their potential to address biological mechanisms underlying anomalies such as spermatogenesis disturbance and sperm quality decline. This review serves as a comprehensive guide to better understand the etiologies and treatment modalities of male factor infertility, ultimately facilitating affected individuals in making informed reproductive choices.

Insights Into Core Self-Evaluations and Psychological Entitlement for Small Businesses Hiring Practices
Authors: Thomason Stephanie , Brownlee Amy , Harris Amy , Rustogi Hemant
Published: July 2024

In the quest to find highly productive and engaged employees in small businesses, those hiring often consider applicants’ personal characteristics, such as their work experience, education, grades in school, disposition, values, and personality. Yet they may be unaware of how these characteristics relate to each other and certain demographic characteristics. Core-self evaluations and psychological entitlement are personality traits that impact positive (Judge, 2009) or negative organizational outcomes (Ogunfowora et al., 2021), respectively, and, therefore, might be used in hiring. We hypothesized that core self-evaluations (CSEs) vary as a function of whether survey respondents are males, white, employed, have high grade point averages (GPAs), and have higher self-enhancement (power, achievement) levels than their counterparts. We also hypothesized that psychological entitlement varies as a function of whether respondents are employed, have high GPAs, and have higher self-enhancement levels. We found partial support for our hypotheses based on survey results from a dyadic sample of 189 respondents, which we bootstrapped and confirmed using a sample of 5,000. Males and those who are unemployed while in college had higher levels of CSEs, while people with higher levels of (others-reported) self-enhancement and those with lower GPAs had higher levels of psychological entitlement. These results give new insight into what individual differences may predict CSEs and psychological entitlement, which both have an impact on organizationally relevant and desired outcomes, such as finding the most productive employees.

Authors: Kasiri Narges , Cirino Cara , Narimanian Cameron
Published: July 2024

With the prevalence of Business Analytics (BA) tools and Big Data through the expansion of social media, cloud-based services, and the introduction of new tools, research is needed to revisit the adoption of analytics technologies by Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). This study interviewed 50 United States (US) SMEs across different industries. We demonstrated whether businesses are aware of new trends in BA, what patterns of adoption have occurred with recent tools, and how businesses’ size and industry can change the adoption patterns. We also investigated the different patterns in barriers that SMEs of different sizes and industry experience. Our results provide insights for SMEs to navigate the complicated process of the adoption of many BA solutions. For US SMEs policymakers and technology providers, knowing the state of BA adoption is imperative. Our findings shed light on how technology providers, policymakers, and industry associations can support SMEs to adopt further business analytic tools.

Authors: Alfaro Alvarado José Moisés
Published: July 2024

La guerra en Ucrania ha tenido varios impactos en la competitividad económica y la producción de América Latina. Por una parte, debido a las sanciones impuestas a Rusia durante la Guerra de Crimea en 2014, que resultaron en un aumento de los costos de transporte marítimo, lo cual redujo la competitividad de la producción latinoamericana en un 2.4% durante ese periodo. Además, del aumento del comercio de China con la región ha planteado un desafío importante para las aspiraciones de Rusia en América Latina.
El impacto de la guerra en Ucrania enAmérica Latina, particularmente incide en términos de geopolítica, extractivismo e inflación; pues se destaca cómo el conflicto que ha afectado las relaciones económicas de la región. La idea principal de este artículo académico es proporcionar una descripción general, analizando diversos documentos y sus aplicaciones en la industria para comprender las posturas de las naciones que condenan la invasión; mientras otros defienden a Rusia y otros buscan beneficiarse de tal situación. Esta guerra ha tenido consecuencias económicas, como presiones inflacionarias, mayor presión sobre los gobiernos para que reduzcan los impuestos a las materias primas, reducción de la inversión internacional y perturbaciones en las rutas comerciales, etc., lo que ha afectado la capacidad de Latinoamérica para competir globalmente y mantener un crecimiento económico estable.
The impact of a group intervention on ward climate and experienced safety in an inpatient setting
Authors: O’Kane Miread , Thomas Hayley
Published: July 2024

There is an emphasis on the importance of ward climate on the experienced safety and therapeutic value of inpatient psychiatric services. However, there is limited research to understand the role of patient-to-patient aggression in ward climate discussions. The implementation of a group intervention to promote discussions about the relationship between feelings and behaviours, including those of others, was evaluated on a locked rehabilitation unit of 12 adult males with intellectual disabilities. Four staff were consulted, who reported that patients who attended the group regularly appeared to have improved in their use of coping skills, and peer relationships. Patient scores on the ESSEN Climate Evaluation Scale, however, were not significantly impacted by attendance at the group. The use of the group intervention may have potential to improve inpatient climate, and ultimately the overall therapeutic experience, however further research will be required to fully understand the impact of the group on the patient experience.

Easy to read summary

■

The atmosphere on inpatient wards can affect how safe patients feel.

■

We ran a group to help men with intellectual disabilities talk about their emotions and behaviours on the ward.

■

Scores of how safe the men felt did not change but staff reported the group to be helpful.

■

Staff said the men got on better and used more coping skills.

■

We think the group can be helpful and would like to explore it further.
Improving referral rates to online support platforms for carers of people with learning disabilities
Authors: Corcoran Emma , Evans Kathryn , Chadwick Darren , Codd Jon
Published: July 2024

It is important to support carers of people with learning disabilities (LD). Carers of people with physical health conditions have benefited from online peer support, and it therefore likely that carers of people with LD would also benefit from this support. An online support platform for carers of people with LD was launched in an NHS Trust in June 2019, however the referral rates for carers have been consistently low. This project aimed to understand the barriers to staff referring carers to online peer support platforms, and to explore what would need to be done in order to increase staff referral rates. Semi-structured interviews with staff members in the LD Service were conducted, and a focus group also took place with the staff working for the online peer support platform itself. The interviews were analysed and a number of findings were reported, outlining staff perceptions of the service, what the current barriers were to referring and what could be done to improve referrals rates. Strengths, limitations and areas for future research are also discussed.

Easy to read summary

■

This paper helps us think about how we can support people helping to care for someone with a learning disability. Some people have found it useful to get support on the Internet.

■

There is a website called SHaRON that can help people who care for someone with a learning disability, but this isn’t used very much at the moment. We want to encourage more people to use SHaRON.

■

We interviewed NHS staff who worked on the SHaRON website and staff who worked with people with learning disabilities to see what ideas they had to encourage more people to use SHaRON.

■

Authors: Brooks Michelle , Hirani Reshma
Published: July 2024

This article seeks to describe the work undertaken in the Anti-Racism Project (ARP) developed by the Barnet Learning Disabilities Service Psychology Team in response to our awareness of the double or intersectional stigma (Turan et al., 2019) experienced by those we work with who are people of colour, living with a learning disability, and dealing with racism. In order to support the people who carry the weight of this intersectionality without access to ways of making sense of their lived experience, the project sought to create the conditions and offer the learning tools necessary to access and normalise this very important conversation for people with a learning disability. The weekly feedback demonstrated participants gained insight and confidence when tackling and discussing these complex and sensitive issues with each other and an eagerness to continue this journey if the opportunity were offered.

Dementia diagnosis for people with intellectual disabilities from minoritised ethnic backgrounds: Barriers and implications
Authors: Erritt Lara
Published: July 2024

People with intellectual disabilities are at greater risk of developing dementia yet they experience multiple barriers to accessing diagnosis and support. The present review explores the additional barriers to dementia support that may be faced by people with intellectual disabilities from minoritised ethnic backgrounds and proposes that more research is conducted around the unique challenges experienced by this population.

Easy to read summary

■

People with intellectual disabilities are more likely to get dementia, a type of memory problem.

■

People with intellectual disabilities come from different ethnic backgrounds.

■

It might be harder for people with an intellectual disability from certain ethnic backgrounds, such as people who identify as Black or Asian, to get the support they need for dementia.

■

We need more research on this to make things better for people with intellectual disabilities from all ethnic backgrounds.
A feasibility study for a new neurocognitive battery for profiling cognition in people with intellectual disabilities
Authors: Campbell Iain , Rose Mark , Dunger Warren
Published: July 2024

Individuals with an Intellectual Disability are at an increased risk of Dementia. This risk is even more pronounced in those with Down’s Syndrome. New cognitive measures are needed to reliably screen, monitor and diagnose dementia quicky using standardised assessment procedures. This study aimed to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a new cognitive measure, the ‘Newocogutive Battery for Intellectual Disabilities’ (NBID). This included obtaining service user feedback to ensure co-production, inform administration times, as well as identify initial floor and ceiling effects across test items. Early findings suggest good face validity, feasibility, and acceptability of this measure, which aims to address limitations with current assessment practices for individuals with Intellectual Disabilities.

Easy to read summary

■

Dementia is a condition that can affect people as they get older.

■

This is an illness in the brain that can make it harder to remember or do things.

■

People with an intellectual disability can be at higher risk of developing dementia. This risk is even higher if individuals have Down’s Syndrome.

■

It is helpful to have tests that look for changes in thinking skills. They let us know if someone might have dementia and need help.

■

We have made a new test to look at thinking skills. We hope this will be helpful in the future for diagnosing dementia.

■

We asked people with Down’s Syndrome to let us know what was good and what we should change about the test.

■

We have learnt how to make the test better. We will now try the new test with more people.
Novos Biomarcadores Moleculares utilizados para o controle biológico de pragas

As palmeiras fazem parte da Família botânica Arecaceae. Estas possuem uma grande importância econômica, principalmente por possuírem produtos destinados a alimentação, como também no abrigo, alimentação e reprodução de diversos animais, dentre eles os artrópodes. Attalea phalerata está distribuída em diversos estados brasileiros e seu comprimento varia entre 5-10m. Uma principal praga para esse tipo de palmeira são os insetos da sub-família Bruchinae. Os insetos possuem enzimas digestivas que os auxiliam na obtenção dos nutrientes, dentre elas estão as alfa-amilase. Na obtenção de alimento acabam destruindo as sementes, castanhas ou regiões da planta, que serviam como fonte econômica para a produção de óleos, carboidratos etc. O Pachymerus nucleorum, um exemplar dessa família de insetos, possui em uma de suas fases a larva, que cresce e se desenvolve através da assimilação da castanha das palmeiras. Com isso, o prejuizo econômico e muito alto. Nesse sentido o estudo e descoberta das pecularidades das enzimas digestivas desse inseto podem trazer beneficios para o controle biológico, sendo mais eficazes, simples e trazendo menores danos aos demais organismos. Dentre essas principais ferramentes de controle biológico temos os biomarcadores enzimático (amilase e ATPases) que pode possuir diferenças sutis entre os organismos.
