USO SUGESTIVO DE VETORES TECNOLÓGICOS PARA MAPEAMENTO DA EXPANSÃO DE ATIVIDADE AGRÍCOLA E MORTANDADE DE ESPÉCIES NESTAS ÁREAS
Authors: Silva Junior Sidimar Lopes da , Bosco Maria Goretti Dal
Published: March 2024

O avanço da atividade agrícola e do agronegócio faz com que tenhamos impactos específicos na região em que ocorrem. Isso nos remete a reduções de áreas verdes, incidências significativas na vegetação nativa e em espécies da região. Como minimizar esses resultados sobre os organismos vivos da área aplicando-se a normatividade de proteção e devidos licenciamentos, buscando reduzir os fatores negativos a estas espécies? De modo comparativo (o que era custoso em apuração e predição) agora se tem o possível uso de vetores tecnológicos, aplicativos e inteligência artificial em busca de soluções para as questões em aberto. O objetivo do estudo é analisar usos similares destes vetores para que, demonstrando os impactos frente a espécies (algumas ameaçadas de extinção), haja a possibilidade dessa utilização para prever e combater tais resultados, podendo, assim, aplicar legislação que incida sobre essas atividades com as devidas regularizações e licenciamentos. Poderiam ser utilizadas formas de mapeamento de áreas de cultivo, acrescentando, ainda, dados de aplicativos que indiquem redução de espécies numa determinada localidade, assim, seria possível verificar locais de risco maior para as espécies. Existem estudos realizados a respeito de mapeamentos de áreas verdes/solo, área cultivada e avanço de ervas daninhas (feitos em cidade do interior de São Paulo), bem como, aplicativos alimentados por redes a níveis mundiais com mapeamento de redução de determinadas espécies, em uma localidade determinada. Com isso, seria possível a aplicação das regularizações e licenciamentos naquela situação, a partir do uso de dados para alimentar e treinar uma Inteligência Artificial escolhida (por exemplo, algum dos modelos de regressão, que seria uma das formas de previsão mais utilizada no meio estatístico, onde seria possível determinar o valor de algo a partir de dados anteriormente obtidos, possuindo como exemplos, o framework GAMLSS ou, ainda, a Regressão Logística Multinomial). O fato de existirem inúmeros organismos vivos numa determinada área de expansão de atividade agrícola demonstra a importância das formas de diminuir o resultado desse crescimento sobre o ecossistema ali presente, garantindo equilíbrio e segurança alimentar. O estudo se utilizará de uma abordagem qualitativa e método hipotético-dedutivo, em busca de possíveis formas de mapeamento de áreas de impacto resultante da atividade agrícola, assim, para que seja aplicada a normatividade existente.

Published: March 2024

Poultry production in the tropics is mainly affected by environmental stressors, viz. temperature and humidity. The present investigation aimed to study the growth, carcass and meat quality of the two different genetic groups of chicken under control (spring season) and heat stress conditions (summer). During the spring season, the mean temperature of the poultry house was found to be 23.68±0.39°C, while it was 34.41±0.52°C during summer. Under both conditions, the body weights of both the genetic groups were recorded at 0, 7, 21 and 42 days of age. The carcass traits were recorded after 6 weeks of age and sensory evaluation was done by meat product preparation. The results showed no significant difference in the growth performance, carcass traits and sensory parameters of control and heat stress groups of native cross birds which might be due to better adaptability and heat tolerance potential, however, the synthetic broiler variety IBL80 was significantly affected by heat stress causing a 16.82% reduction in marketable weight as compared to the control group. According to the findings of the current study, native cross chickens had a higher capability for heat tolerance even if fast-growing synthetic broilers were superior in terms of growth performance and carcass production.

Published: March 2024

The present study aimed to characterize the atresia of antral follicles of buffalo. Two types of atresia, cystic and obliterative, were observed in the buffalo ovary. The cystic atresia was characterized by complete degeneration of the granulosa cells with the antrum filled with fluid. In obliterative atresia, the granulosa cells degenerated, and the surrounding theca cells started invaginating into the antrum. The ingrowth of these connective tissues filled the antrum. The histological picture of tertiary follicles showed that the atresia occurred in successive stages. The atretic changes observed were pyknosis of granulosa cells, the creation of small spaces between the cells, and the loosening of the cumulus oophorus cells. Two patterns were observed based on the start of atresia, i.e. antral atresia and basal atresia. At places, call-exner bodies were observed in the granulosa cell layer. The collagen fiber-containing basal lamina started separating from the theca layer at locations and later became hypertrophied in the cystic atresia type. In contrast, in the obliterative atresia, the collagen fibers were seen as abundant in growth towards the lumen and later, it filled the whole antral cavity. Disruptions of reticular fibers as stained with Gridley’s stain were observed in the cystic type of atresia, and ingrowth of reticular fibers in the antrum and formation of corpus atreticum were contributed by reticular fibers also.

Desindustrialización uruguaya y el nuevo paisaje industrial (1980-2015)
Authors: Geymonat Juan
Published: March 2024

El presente artículo se propone acercar una descripción e interpretación primaria del proceso de desindustrialización en la economía uruguaya. A partir de los aportes de algunos autores marxistas que incorporan el problema de la renta agraria y la prescindencia de la teoría de los monopolios para explicar el comercio mundial (Shaik, 2006; Iñigo Carrera, 2007, 2018), se elabora un modelo básico para una economía periférica, pequeña y abierta. El modelo explicativo contribuye a la comprensión del proceso y efectos de la liberalización y apertura uruguaya sobre la relevancia y estructura de la industria. Al mismo tiempo, permite explicar algunos elementos de un nuevo paisaje industrial, caracterizado por un incremento en la concentración y primarización del sector, así como por un elevado nivel de extranjerización en la propiedad de las grandes firmas.

İbn Ataullah el-İskenderî’nin Velâyet Anlayışı Üzerine Analitik Bir Düşünce
Authors: DÖNER Naim
Published: March 2024

Doğum tarihi tam olarak bilinmeyen İbn Atâullah el-İskenderî, Mısır’ın İskenderiye şehrinde dünyaya gelmiş ve 709/1309 tarihinde Kahire’de vefat etmiştir. Tefsir, hadis, fıkıh, mantık, felsefe ve usûl ilimlerinde yetkin olan İbn Atâullah güçlü hitabetiyle öne çıkmış sufî bir şahsiyettir. İskenderî’nin etkileyici üslubu başta el-Hikemü’l-Ataiyye olmak üzere diğer eserlerinde kendisini belli etmektedir. İbnü’l-Müneyyir, el-Eberkûhî, el-Mâzûnî ve ed-Dimyâtî gibi âlimlerden ilim tahsil eden İskenderî, Şazeliyye tarikatının kurucusu Şeyh Hasan eş-Şazelî’nin talebesi Ebü’l-Abbâs el-Mürsî ile tanıştıktan sonra tasavvufa yönelmiştir. Tarikatın üçüncü şahsiyeti kabul edilen İskenderî’nin eserlerinde tasavvufun en derin konularına ilişkin bilgiler etkileyici, coşkun ve ilmî bir üslupla izah edilmektedir. İskenderî tevbe, zühd, sabır, hubb, sıdk, kurb, tevekkül, nefis muhasebesi, rızık, nübüvvet, şeriat-hakikat gibi Kur’anî konuları rivayet ve dirayet tefsir yöntemiyle ve işârî bir üslupla tefsir etmiştir. Aynı yöntem ve üslupla velâyet kavramı üzerinde duran İskenderî nübüvveti velîliğin kaynağı görür. Velâyetin nübüvveti teyit ettiğine ve velîlerin kerametlerinin de nebîlerin mucizelerini desteklediğine inanır. Ona göre Resul-i Ekrem (sav)’in vefatından sonra Allah’a daveti en iyi şekilde yerine getirenler, ilmiyle amel eden, basiret sahibi olan ve ölümden korkmayan velî kullardır. Çeşitli adlarla velâyet türleri üzerinde duran İskenderî, iman velâyetinin iman ve takvayı, îkân velâyetinin ise iman ve tevekkülü içerdiğini düşünür. Yakîn velâyetinin mertebesine ulaşan velî, kendi tevekkül dairesinden çıkıp tam bir teslimiyet ile Hak Teâlâ’ya dayanıp güvenir ve onun yardımına mazhar olur. Velîlerin kerametini caiz ve mümkün gören İskenderî, peygamberlere, velîlere ve salihlere tevessül edilebileceğini savunur. Kerâmeti ortaya çıkaran asıl güç, kuvveti her şeye yeten Allah’ın kudretidir.

Das Kollisionsrecht der kollektiven Rechtewahrnehmung
Authors: Sutterer Moritz
Published: March 2024

This thesis develops a conflict of laws concept for the cross-border activities of collecting societies. De-spite the deliberate promotion of the Europeanisation of collecting societies and the increasing interna-tionalisation of their activities, this issue has so far remained unaddressed. The work first examines the problem from the perspective of private international law. In a second part, it analyses the characteristics of collecting societies in the EU internal market. The conflict-of-law rules have been developed on the basis of a function-based approach and reflect the systematic interdependence of different legal regimes controlling the activities of collecting societies. Against this background, the developed conflict-of-law rules are not only applicable in a German or European context, but can also be generalised. Where collecting society laws perform similar functions, the same principles can be directly applied.

Authors: Khorramroo Fateme , Mousavi Seyyed Hamed , Minoonejad Hooman , Sorkhabi Masoud
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Postoperative complications decrease muscle strength and balance. Thus, managing the complications is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes and promoting speedy recovery. This case study explores the use of Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) and electrotherapy in managing postoperative complications in a patient with excessive ankle stiffness, addressing balance and muscle strength, as they are essential components of functional mobility in patients with ankle stiffness. Case Presentation: A 41-year-old female athlete with Achilles tendon contracture participated in this study. A 12-week IASTM and electrotherapy was implemented. Isokinetic muscle strength, balance, and quality of life were investigated. Results: The results showed significant improvement in the stability index, path length and area, dorsiflexion/plantarflexion peak torque, range of motion (ROM), total work, and reduced passive stiffness. The results of all domains of quality of life (SF-36), Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), , Achilles Tendon Rupture Score (ATRS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) improved. The intervention was successful in improving balance, muscle strength, sagittal plane ROM, and quality of life and reduced pain during balance in the patient. Conclusions These findings suggest that the intervention may be an effective treatment option for individuals with excessive ankle stiffness and related balance and strength deficits.
Comparison of the Effect of Yoga and Aerobic Exercise on Nurses' Burnout: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Faramarzi Saedeh , Dehghani Ali , Hojat Mohsen
Published: March 2024

Background: There is evidence of yoga and aerobic exercises as an effective therapy for nurse burnout; however, these methods have yet to be compared. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the effects of yoga and aerobic exercises on burnout among nurses. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial with a pre-test and post-test design. The study was conducted in two medical and educational hospitals in the south of Iran (February 2019 to April 2019). A total of 81 female nurses were randomized to yoga (n = 27), aerobics (n = 27), and control (n = 27) groups. In this study, 24 sessions of yoga and aerobic practices were run. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was filled out before the intervention, immediately after, and one month later. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS software 16.0. Shapiro test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, chi-square test, Friedman test, and Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis test were used to analyze the data. Results: A total of 71 participants remained and continued the study, and 56% were married. The participants’ mean age and mean work history were 35.78 ± 3.94 and 11.65 ± 5.10 years, respectively. The mean of overtime work in the month was 35.67 ± 23.85 hours. There were no significant differences between the three groups before intervention (T0) and one month after intervention (T2), although the mean scores of the aerobic and yoga groups were reduced, compared to the control group. Immediately after intervention (T1), a significant difference was observed in emotional exhaustion (P = 0.007, Df = 2, Kruskal-Wallis x2 = 10.016, size effect = 0.95 - 2.26). The mean score of emotional exhaustion in the yoga group (23.13 ± 4.13) was reduced compared to the aerobic (36.00 ± 5.65) and control (38.44 ± 10.96) groups. Conclusions: Both yoga and aerobics reduced burnout, compared to the control group. Yoga was better than aerobics in the emotional exhaustion dimension. Although further research is needed to compare these two interventions, using each of them can reduce the burnout of nurses. Nursing managers can use yoga as an effective method to reduce job burnout. For future research, it is suggested to use other yoga techniques with longer intervention time and long-term follow-up.
Implementation of Seismic Sensor to Detect Tank
Authors: Supadmana Muda Nur Rachman
Published: March 2024

This study aims to investigate seismic sensors in detecting ground vibrations caused by tank or military vehicle movements. Ground vibrations generated by tank movements have specific characteristics, where the produced frequency remains constant depending on the tank's weight and the area of the track's footprint. The amplitude of these vibrations provides information about the detection range, wherein the larger the amplitude, the closer the detection range to the tank. The method employed involves field experiments or the collection of quantitative data from field trials. Test results indicate that ground vibrations produced by tanks have an average frequency of 332 Hz, depending on the tank's weight and the area of the track's footprint. The average amplitude is 4.3 volts at a detection range of 1000 meters, 5.1 volts at 500 meters, 7.6 volts at 200 meters, 8.8 volts at 100 meters, and 12.1 volts at 50 meters. The implication of this research is that seismic sensors can be effectively used as tools to detect tank or military vehicle movements at different distances. These findings could be beneficial in the development of security systems or early detection in areas vulnerable to potential threats from tanks or military vehicles.

Published: March 2024

This article echoes Robert J. Connors’s call for a reexamination of sentence pedagogies in composition teaching and offers an explanation of the unsolved mystery of why sentence combining improves student writing, using insights provided by work in contemporary research in linguistics and in language processing. Based the same insights, I argue that we invite words and phrases, the true members of sentences, to important positions in writing classes and describe practical methods for doing so.

Accelerated Classes and the Writers at the Bottom: A Local Assessment
Authors: McLeod Susan , Horn Heather , Haswell Richard H.
Published: March 2024

Assessment, including writing assessment, is a form of social action. Because standardized tests can be used to reify the social order, local assessments that take into account specific contexts are more likely to yield useful information about student writers. This essay describes one such study, a multiple-measure comparison of accelerated summer courses with nonaccelerated courses. We began with the assumption that the accelerated courses would probably not be as effective as the longer courses;but our assessment found that assumption largely to be incorrect. Contextual information made it clear that students were taking summer accelerated courses strategically, for reasons we had been unaware of and in ways that forced us to reinterpret their writing and our courses.
The Scoring of Writing Portfolios: Phase 2
Authors: White Edward M.
Published: March 2024

Although most portfolio evaluation currently uses some adaptation of holistic scoring, the problems with scoring portfolios holistically are many, much more than for essays, and the problems are not readily resolvable. Indeed, many aspects of holistic scoring work against the principles behind portfolio assessment. We have from the start needed a scoring methodology that responds to and reflects the nature of portfolios, not merely an adaptation of essay scoring. I here propose a means for scoring portfolios that allows for relatively efficient grading where portfolio scores are needed and where time and money are in short supply. It is derived conceptually from portfolio theory rather than essay-testing theory and supports the key principle behind portfolios, that students should be involved with reflection about and assessment of their own work. It is time for the central role that reflective writing can play in portfolio scoring to be put into practice.

Negotiating Points of Divergence in the Literacy Classroom: The Role of Narrative and Authorial Readings in Students’ Talking and Thinking about Literature
Authors: DeBlase Gina
Published: March 2024

By examining a class discussion between an eighth grade student and her teacher around the reading of a literary text, my intent in this paper is to further the discussion around one of the central issues in English education today â€“ the inquiry around whether it is more productive to teach literature by first connecting students’ cultural narratives with the text and so provide them with opportunities to resist what teachers and others might see as the “right”; reading or whether to begin with an authorial reading, which requires students to recognize the codes and conventions the author used in creating the text, providing a fuller, more complete engagement with literature.
