THE USE OF SMARTPHONES IN PHYSICAL LEARNING ON SOUND WAVES
Authors: Jalis Putri Yunita Jeliyah , Desnita Desnita
Published: August 2024

The role of education is very important to prepare students who have knowledge and skills in using technology. Physics learning in the 21st century requires teachers to make technology an efficient and innovative learning medium. One technology that is often used by students is a smartphone. Smartphones are a technology that can be used to motivate and motivate students' curiosity to learn. The purpose of this study is to see the use of smartphones in learning physics, especially sound wave material. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research. Research data were collected through questionnaires and interview sheets. Questionnaires are distributed using a rating scale. Price data is processed using a proportion technique. The results of this research are that on average students in five public senior high schools already have a smartphone. Smartphones have been used in learning. However, the use of smartphones is still limited. Smartphones have not been used as learning media in sound wave experiment activities. In addition, smartphones are more often used by students to play social media than studying. This shows that the use of smartphones by teachers and students has not been carried out optimally in learning physics, especially sound wave material.
Nihilistic foundations of the doctrine of modern Satanism
Authors: Pertseva U. S.
Published: August 2024

The purpose of the study, the results of which are summarized in this article, is to conceptually understand the phenomenon of ethical nihilism in its connection with the ideas of modern Satanism, the founder of which is A.S. LaVey. Based on the views of F. Nietzsche and other major Western European thinkers, as well as the prominent Russian philosopherD.V. Pivovarov, the author of the article demonstrates not only the conditionality of modern values by the crisis of European nihilism of a bygone era, but also the direct role of the latter in the formation of secular tendencies of the current pluralism on issues of morality and ethics.
Assessment of the Economic Security of the Credit Sector Using the Ratio of Credit Organizations’ Assets to GDP
Authors: Korotin Kirill V. ,   Nizhny Novgorod Institute of Management – Branch of the Russian Presidential Academy of National  Economy and Public Administration
Published: August 2024

In the modern economy, the activity of the financial sector, in particular credit institutions, has a stable relationship with the state of economic security of an individual state, therefore, the topic of studying the thresholds for the activity of credit institutions is relevant. The work uses methods of analysis and synthesis as part of studying statistical data from reliable sources, such as data from the Bank of Russia and other sources, as well as the historical method for the theoretical part of the study. To analyze the possibilities of using the indicator of the ratio of assets of credit institutions, including in the form of issued loans, the method of comparing statistical data of four countries is used: Russia, the USA, China and Germany. The aim of the study is to analyze the possibility of using the ratio of credit organizations’ assets to GDP as an indicator of economic security of the credit sector. One of the conclusions is the need to use the selected indicator as a threshold value exclusively in conjunction with the analysis of current conditions in the economy and the financial sector, that is, the inadmissibility of abstracting from the economic situation when interpreting the output of the indicator value beyond the established acceptable interval.

Authors: Xue Zhang ,   College of Creative Arts, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, Khairi Hanif ,   College of Creative Arts, Universiti Teknologi MARA, Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia
Published: August 2024

The global production of petroleum-based plastics has grown significantly from 1.5 million tonnes in 1950 to 367 million tonnes in 2020, escalating global demand based on the limitations of conventional material resources. The effective use of natural fibre composites can alleviate modern civilisation's reliance on chemical resources, reduce energy shortages and have a positive impact on agricultural development. The objective of this study is to establish a framework for guiding design practice by sorting out the properties and application areas of natural fibre composites from a designer's perspective, and the ways in which the material can be experienced. It also uses coconut fibre as an example to develop design research and promote social innovation. The data is analysed and summarised through theoretical frameworks, qualitative interviews, observations and thematic analysis. Facing new materials outside the education system, it helps design-related staff to find areas of application where material properties are consistent with product properties, consumer needs and environmentally beneficial in the design practice process.

Characters in M. Tsvetaeva’s “The House at Old Pimen” as C.G. Jung’s Archetypes
Authors: Nikiforova Alexandra ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: August 2024

This article is meant to study the characters of Marina Tsvetaeva’s lyrical essay “The House at Old Pimen” through the prism of Carl Jung’s archetypes. Four main characters, Dmitriy Ilovaysky, Alexandra Kovrayskaya and their children, Serezha and Nadya embody the archetypes of the Wise Old Man, the Mother, the Animus and the Anima, respectively. The ambivalent nature of the first two archetypes (both their positive and negative sides) is revealed. This aspect shows the authority of the characters of Ilovaysky and Kovrayskaya over their children, which helps to shed light on the complicated relationship between the members of this part of Marina Tsvetaeva’s family.

Género y reestructuraciones empresariales en Derecho español: las trabajadoras ante los despidos colectivos
Authors: Fernández Prol Francisca
Published: August 2024

El estudio analiza el impacto de los despidos colectivos en las trabajadoras. A tal efecto, la investigación se divide en dos partes. La primera, de carácter empírico, persigue desvelar y ponderar dicho impacto. Se recurre, a tal efecto, al análisis de los datos estadísticos disponibles, así como de los elementos prototípicos de los despidos colectivos (los criterios de selección de las personas trabajadoras despedidas y las medidas de amortiguación en la práctica más recurrentes). Así mismo, el debate se plantea en términos cualitativos, habida cuenta el efecto de las obligaciones de conciliación -aun mayoritariamente asumidas por las mujeres- en la gestión personal de la propuesta empresarial de medidas de flexibilidad interna (modificaciones de las condiciones de trabajo) alternativas al despido. En la segunda parte del estudio se procede a un examen, desde una óptica transversal, del procedimiento español de despido colectivo: de los sujetos negociadores, del objeto de las consultas y del control externo desplegado por la Autoridad Laboral y la Inspección de Trabajo y Seguridad Social. Se identifican de este modo aquellos aspectos de la norma interna que contribuyen a la generación de efectos perversos por razón de sexo, efectuando propuestas de lege ferenda para su corrección.

Color Variability of Cosmopolitan Beetles in Mindanao, Philippines
Authors: Bagbag Ernel , Mark Anthony J. Torres  , Cesar G. Demayo
Published: August 2024

Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) stands out as one of the most diverse insect groups, showcasing various color variations. These evolved color patterns present a fascinating trait crucial for understanding their evolution. However, studying these patterns poses challenges, given the intricate nature of colors in the natural world. While past researchers have explored beetle color patterns, quantifying colors requires costly equipment and sophisticated software. This paper introduces an alternative approach, utilizing digital images to examine color variability among Coleopterans. Forty-eight specimens from Mindanao, Philippines, were collected and photographed under consistent conditions. Subsequently, the images were calibrated and processed in R software to calculate image distances through cluster analysis. The results reveal that beetle color patterns fall into two categories: a dark color with deeper shades of gray and a moderately bright tone featuring a slight reddish hue with noticeable yellow highlights. Chrysochroa fulminans is the most distinct beetle across Coleopteran species due to its vibrant green coloration. Family-specific examination of color patterns revealed species with distinct color, Anomala flavipennis and A. smaragdina (Scarabaeidae), Otiorhynchus pauxillus (Curculionidae), Uloma culinaris (Tenebrionidae), and Nupserha fricator (Cerambycidae). The study's findings offer valuable insights into the evolution of Coleopterans, mainly their color patterns, serving as a valuable tool for classification.

The Fall of Z-Library: The “Burning of the Library of Alexandria” or Protection for Authors Against AI Companies
Authors: Silveira Lisa
Published: August 2024

The development and advancement of artificial intelligence (“AI”) is changing the way we use technology while creating an ongoing battle between media and technology companies. With AI companies gathering data from the internet to train programs like ChatGPT, authors have growing concerns about unpermitted use of their work when pirated copies of their books exist illegally online through shadow libraries. This article examines the popular shadow library known as Z-Library and the views of its proponents and opponents. In addition, this article will discuss the training process AI companies use and the data sets containing content from shadow libraries. While companies like Getty Images and The New York Times filed suit against AI companies, this article specifically focuses on the class action lawsuits filed by authors for unauthorized use of their books to train AI models. Copyright law may offer a solution to protect these author’s works. This article will examine the current limitations of copyright law and the difficulties of proving copyright infringement. This article attempts to explore the current legal action, claims these authors raise, and possible defenses they will have to overcome. This article will also examine solutions like agreements with authors and paying them royalties to compensate them for the use of their work. Regardless of how the court cases come out, these authors need a solution to ensure their content is not exploited by AI companies.
Use of first aid kits on board a regional airline
Authors: Paxinos Odysseas , Alexelis Angelique , Alexelis Vasilis , Savourdos Petros
Published: August 2024

Objectives:

In-flight medical events (IMEs), although relatively rare, they may be demanding. First aid on board is provided by cabin crew members or passengers who are healthcare professionals. Airline aircrafts are required by legislation to have medical kits on board, but the usefulness of the required medications is still under investigation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of medical kits on board a regional airline.

Material and Methods:

We prospectively collected all IME reports from the biggest airline in Greece during a 5-year period (2014–2018) and investigated the use of medical kits on board.

Results:

During the study period, 990 IMEs were recorded, corresponding to 16 IMEs for each million passengers or 1.8 IMEs for every 10,000 flights. The most frequent event was loss of consciousness (38.4%). The first aid kit was opened in 18% of IMEs but was used in 15%. Medications frequently used were burn hydrogel (in 4.7% of IMEs) and paracetamol (in 3.6% of IMEs). Only three passengers were treated with advanced medications (two with nitroglycerin and one with corticosteroid intramuscular injection).

Conclusion:

Despite the availability of an advanced cardiac life support level, emergency medical kit on board, basic first aid, and over-the-counter medications were sufficient to successfully manage 98% of all IMEs in a regional airline. The required list of medications for onboard medical kits needs further study.
A novel approach to addressing intercavernous sinus bleeding: Preoperative onyx embolization in the endoscopic endonasal approach for craniopharyngioma resection
Authors: Gomez Diego , Garcia Rairan Luis , Mejia Juan Andres , Hakim Fernando
Published: August 2024

Background:

Hemorrhage originating from the intercavernous sinuses during transsphenoidal approaches for skull base injury is a common occurrence, but it can be easily controlled. However, in specific cases, it may necessitate suspending the surgery or result in hemodynamic instability.

Case Description:

We present the case of a 7-year-old female patient who underwent transsphenoidal endoscopic endonasal for craniopharyngioma resection. The patient’s parents gave consent for the procedure. During the procedure, significant intraoperative bleeding occurred, which was necessary to stop the resection. After the surgery, cerebral angiography was performed, which identified a prominent anterior intercavernous venous sinus as the source of the bleeding. A successful embolization using onyx was performed, leading to a satisfactory postoperative recovery without any complications. The patient then underwent a second surgical intervention for the resection of the craniopharyngioma through an endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach. This procedure achieved a complete resection of the lesion without complications, and the patient experienced an adequate postoperative recovery.

Conclusion:

The objective of this case is to describe a previously unreported technique involving onyx embolization for controlling prominent bleeding from the intercavernous sinus and as a presurgical embolization method to reduce the risk of bleeding during endoscopic endonasal surgery for resection of a craniopharyngioma.

Published: August 2024

Background:

Spontaneous spinal subdural-epidural hematoma during pregnancy is rare.

Case Description:

A 29-year-old gravida II patient experienced the onset of vomiting, headache, and progressive paraparesis. The initial non-contrast brain computed tomography and coagulation profiles were negative. The next day, the spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a C7–T4 epidural hematoma; contrast studies revealed no accompanying vascular lesions. On day 3, she underwent a cesarean delivery followed by a C3–T1 laminectomy. Her sensory and sphincteric function returned on postoperative day 2, but at 6 postoperative months, she continued to exhibit a 3/5 paraparesis.

Conclusion:

Pregnant patients with acute paraparesis should undergo STAT MRI screening of the spine to look for epidural/subdural hematomas.
SABINE M. FEISST JOHN CAGE AND IMPROVISATION -AN UNRESOLVED RELATIONSHIP
Authors: ЛИПОВ А Н.
Published: August 2024

Импровизация, забытое явление в западной художественной музыке в начале ХХ века, была пересмотрена многими композиторами с 1950-х годов. Джон Кейдж, ключевая фигура и катализатор авангардного движения, был одним из первых, кто воспринял неопределенные и непредсказуемые элементы музыкального процесса, характерные для импровизации. Тем не менее, на протяжении большей части своей карьеры Кейдж проявлял двусмысленность и неприязнь к импровизации и предостерегал исполнителей от импровизационного исполнения его собственных партитур, бросая вызов избитым в своем обществе представлениям о свободном создании музыки и импровизации. Взгляды Кейджа на импровизацию много раз менялись в ходе его карьеры. В начале 1930-х годов он применил импровизационный подход к композиции, выбрав «совершенно другой способ сочинения, который заключался в импровизации и импровизации по отношению к текстам». Скептицизм Кейджа по отношению к импровизации был характерен для композиторов-авангардистов и проливает свет на сложность импровизации, особенно в контексте новой музыки. В переводе научной статьи рассматриваются причины, по которым Кейдж формулировал свои определения и неприязнь к импровизации, а также то, как Кейдж обходил импровизацию, играл с ней или использовал ее в своих работах.

Mprovisation, a neglected phenomenon in Western art music in the early twentieth century, has been revisited by many composers since the 1950s. John Cage, a key figure and catalyst of the avant-garde movement, was one of the first to embrace the uncertain and unpredictable elements of the musical process characteristic of improvisation. Nevertheless, for much of his career, Cage displayed an ambivalence and aversion to improvisation and warned performers against improvising his own scores, challenging his society's hackneyed notions of free music-making and improvisation. Cage's views on improvisation changed many times over the course of his career. In the early 1930s he took an improvisational approach to composition, choosing "an entirely different way of composing, which was to improvise and improvise in relation to the texts." Cage's skepticism toward improvisation was characteristic of avant-garde composers and sheds light on the complexity of improvisation, especially in the context of new music. The translation of the scholarly article examines Cage's reasons for his definitions and dislike of improvisation and how Cage circumvented improvisation, played with it, or used it in his work.

Статья написана к 55-летию начала регентской деятельности Н.И. Озерова в храме в честь иконы Божией Матери «Знамение» в Переяславской слободе и посвящена анализу его неизвестных ранее сочинений, найденных в храмовом архиве. Н.И. Озеров был одним из немногих композиторов-регентов, получивших профессиональное музыкальное образование и не оставляющих свое регентское служение даже в годы гонений на Церковь. В статье автор знакомит читателей с ранее неизвестными партитурами композитора, которые не покидали стен храма в течение полувека, выявляет особенности композиторского письма Озерова, черты стиля которого позволяют причислить его к последователям Нового направления, во главе которого стоял А.Д. Кастальский. Приводятся фрагменты рукописей с дарственными надписями композитора.

The article was written for the 55th anniversary of the beginning of the regent activity of N. Ozerov in the church in honor of the Icon of the Mother of God "The Sign" in Pereyaslavskaya Sloboda and is devoted to the analysis of his previously unknown compositions found in the temple archive. N. Ozerov was one of the few regent composers who received professional musical education and did not leave his regency ministry even during the years of persecution of the Church. In the article, the author introduces readers to the composer's previously unknown scores, which have not left the walls of the temple for half a century, reveals the features of Ozerov's compositional writing, whose style features allow him to be counted among the followers of the New Direction, headed by A. Kastalsky. Fragments of manuscripts with inscriptions of the composer are given.
Powerful and Reliable Prediction using Latent Variables of Experimentally Unobservable Reactions in Organic Synthesis
Authors: TAKEDA Kazuhiro , OHTSUKA Naoya , SUZUKI Toshiyasu , MOMIYAMA Norie
Published: August 2024

In this study, a novel machine learning algorithm was designed to assist in the development of organic reactions. This algorithm addresses the complexities inherent in batch- type organic reactions, including the necessity for numerous experiments and the effects of intricate characteristics of reaction pathways. By integrating molecular relationships and actual yields from observable reactions, the algorithm is used to estimate untested yields via extrapolation. An approach based on Bayesian optimization and dual annealing optimization is employed to compute expected values and evaluate plausibility. The algorithm’s dual-loop 2 structure, incorporating latent variables and experimental values, maximizes the coefficient of determination. Physicochemical aspects of the algorithm are validated using natural bond orbital charges, and its utility in synthesizing perfluoroiodinated naphthalenes is demonstrated. The algorithm exhibits potential for application in predicting experimentally unobservable reactions, thereby advancing the field of synthetic organic chemistry.
Benchmarks and Workflow for Harmonic IR and Raman Spectra
Authors: Vester Jonas , Carrasco-Busturia David , Ruud Kenneth , Ringholm Magnus , Olsen Jógvan Magnus Haugaard
Published: August 2024

We present a workflow, benchmarks, and applications to provide a roadmap for simulating harmonic IR and Raman spectra for large solute-solvent systems by employing a polarizable-embedding quantum-mechanics (PE-QM) approach. This multiscale modeling scheme divides the system into a central core region described by quantum-mechanical methods and an environment region described through the fragment-based polarizable embedding (PE) model. The workflow involves generating representative structures, calculating properties, and post-processing data. Benchmark calculations quantify errors introduced by some of the key approximations used in our approach and discuss its strengths and weaknesses. Finally, we apply the workflow to acetone in three different solvents, comparing simulated spectra to experimental results to further evaluate our approach and identify potential weaknesses. Accurate simulations of solute-solvent systems are an important step toward modeling more complex molecular systems with a fragment-based PE approach.
Probing Bioinorganic Electron Spin Decoherence Mechanisms with an Fe2S2 Metalloprotein
Authors: Totoiu Christian , Follmer Alec , Oyala Paul , Hadt Ryan
Published: August 2024

Recent efforts have sought to develop paramagnetic molecular quantum bits (qubits) as a means to store and manipulate quantum information. Emerging structure-property relationships have shed light on electron spin decoherence mechanisms. While insights within molecular quantum information science have derived from synthetic systems, biomolecular platforms would allow for the study of decoherence phenomena in more complex chemical environments and further leverage molecular biology and protein engineering approaches. Here we have employed the exchange-coupled ST = ½ Fe2S2 active site of putidaredoxin, an electron transfer metalloprotein, as a platform for fundamental mechanistic studies of electron spin decoherence towards spin-based biological quantum sensing. At low temperatures, decoherence rates were anisotropic, reflecting a hyperfine-dominated decoherence mechanism, standing in contrast to the anisotropy of molecular systems observed previously. This mechanism provided a pathway for probing spatial effects on decoherence, such as protein vs. solvent contributions. Furthermore, we demonstrated spatial sensitivity to single point mutations via site-directed mutagenesis and temporal sensitivity for monitoring solvent isotope exchange. Thus, this study demonstrates a step towards the design and construction of biomolecular quantum sensors.

Ti-containing zeotypes, notably titanosilicalite-1 (TS-1), are prominent examples of heterogeneous catalysts that have found applications in selective oxidation processes with hydrogen peroxide. Despite extensive characterization studies including the use of various probe molecules to interrogate the nature and the local environment of Ti sites, their detailed structure (as well as reactivity) remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that using low temperature 15N magic angle spinning (MAS) ssNMR spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine on TS-1 combined with Ti K-edge XANES on a range of samples (dehydrated, hydrated, contacted with H2O2 and pyridine) provides unique information regarding the Ti sites, highlighting their reactivity and dynamic nature. While dehydrated TS-1 shows only Lewis acid sites, the presence of H2O generates Brønsted acid sites, whose amount correlate with water loading. Moreover, the methodology – based on 15N ssNMR and Ti K-edge XANES – applied to a library of samples with various Ti-loadings and absence of extra-framework TiO2 also enables to quantify the amount of Lewis acid sites and to establish a structure-activity descriptor (ratio of pyridine adsorbed on silanols vs. titanium). Complementary analysis including computational modelling reveals that the reaction of Ti sites with H2O generates an acidic bridging silanol Ti-(OH)-Si, upon hydrolysis of one Ti-O-Si linkage, where Ti expands its coordination from four to pentacoordinated according to XAS.

In this work, we have synthesized a set of peptoid based HDACi with a substituted hydrazide moiety as zinc-binding group. Subsequently, all compounds were evaluated in biochemical HDAC inhibition assays and for their antiproliferative activity against native and cisplatin-resistant cancer cell lines. The hydrazide derivatives with a propyl or butyl substituent (compounds 5 and 6) emerged as the most potent class I HDAC selective inhibitors (HDAC1-3), with low nanomolar IC50 values and a notable preference for HDAC3. Further, compounds 5 and 6 outperformed entinostat in cytotoxicity assays and were able to reverse chemoresistance in cisplatin-resistant A2780 (ovarian) and Cal27 (head-neck) cancer cell lines. Moreover, the hydrazide derivatives 5 and 6 showed strong synergism with cisplatin (combination indices < 0.2), again outperforming entinostat, and increased DNA damage, p21, and pro-apoptotic BIM expression, leading to caspase-mediated apoptosis and cell death. Thus, compounds 5 and 6 represent promising lead structures for developing new HDACi capable of reversing chemoresistance in cisplatin resistant cancer cells.

Purpose: The study aims to analyse the functionality of innovation parks as part of economic development.
Design/Methodology/Approach:  The research utilised a purposive sampling technique to select countries that demonstrate successful innovation strategies, ensuring various economic contexts and approaches. Data were collected through secondary research, which included government reports, academic articles, statistical data from international organisations, and case studies of innovation parks and high-tech enterprises. Initially, a descriptive analysis summarised the data by critical themes such as innovation policy and government support. Thematic analysis was used to explore patterns related to the commercialisation of innovations and legislative regulation.
Findings: The rapid development of new technologies, globalisation of economic cooperation, and limited national budgets facilitate an intensification of the role of innovative solutions and strategies. These factors also lead to actualising regional and subregional scientific, technical, and creative cooperation.
Research Limitation/Implications: The authors have analysed the prospects for developing and functioning innovation parks in Ukraine and worldwide and identified the specifics of their industrial, technological, and scientific formations.
Social Implication: Innovation parks play a critical role in this process, driving the development and commercialisation of new products and stimulating economic growth and social progress.
Practical Implication: This model promotes benefits for the industry, such as technological integration, investment in human capital, and innovation systems, thereby increasing competitiveness in the global market. Innovation parks are integral components of this model, intensifying the development and commercialisation of innovative products and optimising production processes.
Originality/ Value: The study's novel aspects lie in its exploration of innovation parks' functionality, its analysis of their role in economic growth, its examination of legal and financial support for innovation, and its proposal of practical strategies for Ukraine's economic development.

English
This study applies linguistic landscape theory to analyze the language usage on cultural heritage information boards in Surabaya. It also explores the communication obstacles that impede tourists from accessing heritage sites. A total of 63 images were selected from a collection of 277 photographs using qualitative descriptive methodologies and photographic techniques. These images effectively depict various landscapes and cultural heritage places. The dataset classified media into categories such as road signs, name signboards, information boards, cultural heritage plaques, and establishment plaques. Indonesian is the dominant language, representing the country's sovereignty, but English is used for international tourists. The historical identity of Surabaya is represented by Dutch, Japanese, and Latin influences. Although the language environment is favorable, there are still difficulties in tourism communication due to insufficient information, unreadable text, and media that is not easily available at heritage sites. This study highlights the importance of enhancing signpost design to improve tourist experiences and effectively communicate heritage tourism by making use of language variety

Mixing of Indonesian Addressing Terms in the Local English: Motivations and Identity Expressions
Authors: Chandra Patricia Cynthia , Bhimasena Harya , N/a Ekarina
Published: August 2024

This study is concerned with the effect of globalization on language usage, especially in the context of the  Indonesian workplace. Within the context of international workplaces where employees often use English to communicate with their foreign colleagues, the researchers found that Indonesian addressing terms such as Pak or Bu are often mixed in with English. This study considers this phenomenon typical in high language contact situations; and sees the mixing of some Indonesian in the English spoken in Indonesia as a distinct characteristic of the localized English used in the country. Specific patterns and motivations for such mixing of the Indonesian addressing terms in  the local English may uncover certain identity expressions by Indonesians as a reaction to globalization. To explore these issues, interviews were conducted with employees of international workplaces in Indonesia to determine: (i) different motivations for mixing Indonesian addressing terms in the local English, and (ii) what the different motivations may reveal about the identities of different Indonesian speakers. Results from the interview reveal that the use of Indonesian addressing terms and the related speakers’ identities are largely dependent on social class.
Ocupações precárias na cidade-região de Belém

Published: August 2024

Belém vem sendo, nos últimos anos, assinalada por um processo de urbanização regional policêntrica que produz uma cidade-região com espaços de consumo dispersos, disparidade de renda dos grupos sociais das áreas dispersas, desenvolvimento de outras centralidades e configuração de novos espaços precários cada vez mais distantes do núcleo metropolitano. Neste contexto, o objetivo desta pesquisa consistiu em analisar a natureza das novas ocupações nas bordas do espaço metropolitano de Belém, sua inserção no processo de urbanização regional e seus rebatimentos em termos do direito à cidade e da justiça espacial. Para tanto, utilizou-se de uma abordagem qualitativa e estudo de caso em Mosqueiro e Santa Bárbara do Pará, com levantamentos bibliográficos e documentais, trabalhos de campo exploratórios e para efetivação de entrevistas. Constataram-se aspectos importantes relativos à precariedade da moradia nas ocupações estudadas, Bairro Novo, em Mosqueiro, e Comunidade Juquilândia, em Santa Bárbara do Pará, com carências em serviços e infraestruturas, gerando limites quanto à garantia do direito à cidade dos seus moradores.
