Mechanical Difference Analysis of Single-row and Double-row Side Piles in Stations by PBA Method Based on Model Test
Authors: Wang Lijun
Published: January 2024

This study employs the pile-beam-arch (PBA) method to investigate the force-evolution law of micro-steel pipe piles during the excavation process, focusing on a Guangzhou metro-station project. Through laboratory model tests, we compared and analyzed the mechanical evolution laws of single-row and double-row side piles. Our findings revealed a significant soil arch effect in both single-row and double-row piles; with similar distribution patterns and peak-stress range. As soil excavation progresses, the soil arching effect shifts downward. Notably, the stress concentration in double-row piles is weaker than that in single-row piles, especially in the soil range of 0–50 mm after the piles. This is attributed to the looser soil between single-row piles, resulting in more evident stress release. The attenuation amplitude of the Y-direction stress of the double-row piles was considerably smaller than that of the single-row piles. The soil arching between the back-row piles in doublerow configurations exhibits shielding effects on the force of front-row piles, significantly weakening the soil pressure on them. This impact alters the force of the front-row piles, even causing the tip of the front-row piles to bend in reverse. The research results provide important insights for similar projects and can serve as a valuable reference.

Authors: Nafisah Khilda Durrotun , Astuti Andari Wuri
Published: January 2024

Background: Stunting is a developmental disorder that occurs in children caused by malnutrition, frequent infections, and poor psychosocial simulation. Stunting can be influenced by some factors such as infection, exclusive breastfeeding, early initiation of breastfeeding, and adolescent pregnancy. This study aims to review the association between adolescent pregnancy and stunting incidence.Method:  This scoping review used the PRISMA-ScR framework by searching for articles from relevant databases such as Pubmed, EBSCO, and Wiley. The article search obtained ten articles for further analysis. The article was analyzed based on the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The keywords used were Teen Pregnancy* OR Adolescent Pregnancy* OR Teen Pregnancies* AND Nutritional Deficiency* OR Undernutrition* OR Growth Disorder* OR Stunting*. Besides, the researcher added a filter, namely articles published in the last five years (2018-2022), articles that are open access, and original research articles.Results: Based on the results of reviewing the ten articles, it can be concluded that adolescent pregnancy is significantly associated with stunting incidence in adolescents with low education levels and poor economic conditions leading to poor health awareness and nutritional status. Future studies are expected to further evaluate the relationship between adolescent pregnancy and stunting incidence

Published: January 2024

Background: Hypertension is amongst the top 10 non-communicable diseases and is the leading cause of premature death worldwide. Multiple factors contribute to the occurrence of hypertension. Risk factors include modifiable ones, such as lifestyle, smoking habits, sleeping patterns, caffeine consumption, physical activity, high-sodium diet, and stress levels. On the other hand, factors such as gender and age are non-modifiable. A primary survey in Kalirejo, Lawang, showed that hypertension is the leading health issue. This research aims to analyze the association between body mass index, physical activity level, and stress level with hypertension in Kalirejo, Lawang.Method: This research is a correlative analytical descriptive study using the cross-sectional method that involves 99 residents aged ≥ 45 years old in Kalirejo. Results: This study revealed that the largest age group in Kalirejo is elderly people, with most respondents being female, non-smokers, and with no family history of hypertension. A majority of the respondents consume caffeine and use minimal salt. The largest BMI distribution is within the normal category (41.4%). High physical activity is found to be more frequent (45.5%), and stress level is primarily low (62.6%). Bivariate analysis shows a significant association between BMI and hypertension (p<0.05). Meanwhile, physical activity and stress levels are irrelevant to the occurrence of hypertension. This study discovered that there is a significant association between BMI and hypertension, and a non-significant association between physical activity and stress level with hypertension, respectively, among pre-elderly and elderly residents in Kalirejo.
From Attendance Data to Student Support: International Practices for Recording, Reporting, and Using Data on School Attendance and Absence
Authors: Heyne David , Keppens Gil Antoine , Dvořák Dominik
Published: January 2024

The recording, reporting, and use of data on school attendance and absence (DSAA) play a crucial role in understanding attendance and addressing absence in educational systems worldwide. However, a comprehensive grasp of the diverse approaches adopted across and within different countries has remained elusive. To address this knowledge gap, the International Network for School Attendance (INSA) facilitated this special issue providing an in-depth investigation into DSAA practices in 13 countries. This opening paper serves two purposes. First, it lays the conceptual groundwork for readers before they delve into the recording, reporting, and use of DSAA in different countries. Second, it presents key insights that emerge from the diverse array of contributions and a discussion of challenges and opportunities for the field. These include the substantial inconsistencies within and across countries; the pressing need for standardised best practices for recording, reporting, and using data; and the importance of embracing technological advancements to enhance the use of data. We envisage that the collective effort of the 40 authors involved in this special issue will enrich knowledge, enhance collaboration, and create real-world impact by enabling interested parties to develop, use, and evaluate data-driven strategies related to attendance and absence. By working together to address challenges and seize opportunities related to DSAA, we help young people access the education they rightfully deserve.
O Kronosach. Garbaczewski rozczytuje Gombrowicza
Authors: Pogonowicz Judyta
Published: January 2024

The article presents the performance Kronos, directed by Krzysztof Garbaczewski in 2013. The performance was an immediate reaction to the extremely intimate work of art written by Witold Gombrowicz. Garbaczewski is involved in reading and staging Gombrowicz’s work since 2008. The article highlights how the creative method presented in Kronos is portrayed by actors during the performance. Moreover, the author shows the phenomenon of poetry epiphany in the play, the coexistence of corporeality and the mind, the processes of tabooisation of the body and mediatization in the play. The author points to common points in the works of Gombrowicz and Garbaczewski. She also draws attention to how the writer’s authority is invoked, a process through which the director legitimises the theatrical exploration.
Tęsknota za człowieczeństwem. Dehumanizacja w muzyce gry Cyberpunk 2077
Authors: Bonikowski Tomasz
Published: January 2024

Video games are often analysed as textual objects. This default literary point of view, while providing valuable conclusions, fails to observe some essential points that are realised in different modes of narration. Here I will analyse the Cyberpunk 2077 video game from a musical perspective. I will be “listening to” the game rather than “reading” it. This kind of hermeneutical approach will highlight certain ideas of CP2077. I will focus on the issue of dehumanisation, and show that musically the game places special emphasis on this. I will point out the musical characteristics that can affect players and interpret the rationale behind it.

Published: January 2024

Evidence has proved that intracranial aneurysm (IA) formation and rupture might be closely related to inflammatory response and oxidative stress. Our objective was to evaluate the potential of CD36 and glutathione (GSH) as biomarkers for IA. In this study, the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the plasma levels of CD36 and GSH in 30 IA patients and 30 healthy controls. Then, correlation analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and logistic regression analysis were performed. The results showed that the plasma level of CD36 in IA patients was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.0001), and plasma GSH was significantly lower compared with that in the control group (P < 0.0001). ROC analysis showed that CD36 and GSH had high sensitivity (90.0 and 96.6%) and specificity (96.6 and 86.6%) for IA diagnosis. The combined sensitivity and specificity achieved were 100 and 100%, respectively. The plasma levels of CD36 and GSH did not show a significant correlation with age, the Glasgow Coma Scale, Hunter–Hess score, aneurysm size, aneurysm height, aneurysm neck, and aspect ratio. The AUC of the logistic regression model based on CD36 and GSH was 0.505. Our results suggested that the combination of plasma CD36 and GSH could serve as potential biomarkers for IA rupture.

Published: January 2024

Nutrition plays a critical role in managing diabetes, particularly in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). This study aimed to investigate the dietary patterns associated with glycemic control among Jordanian children and adolescents with T1DM. A total of 107 Jordanian children and adolescents with T1DM were enrolled (53 males and 54 females) in this cross-sectional study. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using three valid and reliable questionnaires. The study revealed that only 25.7% of the participants had good glycemic control, while almost 51% had poor glycemic control. Overall, three dietary patterns were identified in this study: “High-Vegetables,” “Unhealthy,” and “High-Fruits.” The “High-Vegetables” dietary pattern showed a protective association in controlling glycated hemoglobin at the second and third tertiles (odds ratio, CI: 0.07 (0.005–0.826); 0.06 (0.005–0.741), respectively). The “High-Vegetables” dietary pattern showed a protective effect against poor glycemic control. Although the association between the “Unhealthy” and “High-Fruits” dietary patterns and poor glycemic control did not reach significance at the tertiles level, it is noteworthy that a significantP-trend of 0.018 and 0.012, respectively, was observed for both patterns. We encourage children and adolescents to incorporate an assortment of whole, unprocessed vegetables into their diet in appropriate amounts to help manage their glycemic control.
Are the UN Sustainable Development Goals a Valuable Platform for Advancing a Basic Income? A Critical Historical Studies Account
Authors: Smith-Carrier Tracy A. , Van Tuyl Rana
Published: January 2024

United Nations (UN) leaders suggest that the world is not on track to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether the SDGs provide a valuable platform to call for a basic income (BI) globally. Adopting a critical historical studies approach, the article traces the evolution of ‘development’, including the UN decades of development, the Millennium Development Goals, and the SDGs. It subsequently describes the structural adjustment and poverty reduction efforts by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, and then outlines why the SDG framework may be helpful in advancing a BI. We argue that as climate-related disasters increase, a BI will be vital in providing a modicum of security in an increasingly unstable world. Calls for BI must be anchored to a broader change agenda that recognizes the causes of poverty and income inequality, and seeks their dismantling and redress.
Estimating the Morse index of free boundary minimal hypersurfaces through covering arguments

Knocking on Wood: Writing Boards in the Kassite Administration
Authors: Zimmermann Lynn-Salammbô
Published: January 2024

This article explores the emerging role of wooden wax-covered writing boards in Kassite administration, as indicated by their mentions in three letters and one cattle account from Kassite period Nippur. Even though the number of textual references is scarce, the use of wooden wax-covered writing boards is supported by the depictions on late Kassitekudurrumonuments. By incorporating perspectives from Middle Assyrian texts and Neo-Assyrian sealings, this study interprets references to writing board usage in Kassite letters, revealing their role in documenting conscripted workers and their rations. This interpretation finds support in evidence from the Ur III period, contemporary Emar, and the Neo-Babylonian period, collectively suggesting that writing boards were regarded as durable and highly reliable sources. The appearance of seal rings in Babylonia in 13th century BC allows for the hypothesis that wooden wax-covered writing boards could have been sealed in a similar fashion as is assumed for Neo-Assyrian writing boards containing lists of ERIN2.MEŠ troops of the king. Notably, the Kassite period letters indicate that writing boards were archived for minimum of 50 years and were checked to verify claims.
Thermal and electrical properties of photovoltaic cell with linear phenomenological heat transfer law
Authors: Li Jun , Chen Lingen
Published: January 2024

The thermal and electrical properties of photovoltaic cell (PVC) under linear phenomenological heat transfer law between it and the environment is studied through finite time thermodynamics and the volt-ampere characteristic equation. The properties of PVC are affected by heat transfer between PVC and environment. There are optimal solar radiation intensity and PVC output voltage (OV), which make the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PECE) of PVC reach the highest value. When OV and solar radiation intensity are 28.50 V and 700 W/m2, the maximum PECE is 0.156. There is also the best solar radiation intensity, which makes the open-circuit voltage (OCV) reach the maximum. When solar radiant intensity is 669 W/m2, the maximum OCV is 33.14 V. The values of power output and short-circuit current (SCC) are monotonically increasing with solar radiation intensity. Given solar radiation intensity, the power output and OV exhibit a parabolic shape. The operating temperature falls first and then grows with the OV. However, the change of operating temperature with OV is not much. Band gap is a decreasing function of operating temperature. This article can give theoretical support for the design and use of PVCs.

Effect of total heat input on coaxiality of rotor shaft in laser cladding
Authors: Guo Shirui , Yu Junhao , Cui Lujun , Cui Yinghao , Li Xiaolei , Chen Yongqian , Zheng Bo
Published: January 2024

The total heat input by the laser directly affects the temperature distribution of the rotor shaft during the cladding process, and then affects its coaxiality. This article uses ANSYS for numerical simulation to study the effect of laser heat input on the deformation of the rotor shaft during laser cladding process. Simulate and analyze the temperature and stress fields inside the rotor shaft using thermal coupling. The results show that by changing the pitch, axial cladding width and laser irradiation duration to change the laser induced total heat input, a more uniform temperature distribution can be generated in the rotor shaft. The increase of temperature distribution uniformity can reduce the deformation of rotor shaft during cladding. Using a cladding equipment, iron based customized alloy powder was coated on the 45 steel rotor shaft for cladding experiments. And the mechanical properties and coaxiality of the rotor shaft after cladding were measured. The results showed that the hardness and wear resistance of the cladding layer were significantly improved compared to the substrate, and the changes in coaxiality of the rotor shaft were consistent with the simulation results, with relatively small errors. It is of great significance for repairing damaged rotor shafts.
Low-loss hybrid germanium-on-zinc selenide waveguides in the longwave infrared
Authors: Ren Dingding , Dong Chao , Høvik Jens , Khan Md Istiak , Aksnes Astrid , Fimland Bjørn-Ove , Burghoff David
Published: January 2024

The longwave infrared (LWIR) range, which spans from 6 µm to 14 µm, is appealing for sensing due to strong molecular fingerprints in this range. However, the limited availability of low-loss materials that can provide higher-index waveguiding and lower-index cladding in the LWIR range presents challenges for integrated photonics. In this work, we introduce a low-loss germanium-on-zinc selenide (GOZ) platform that could serve as a versatile platform for nanophotonics in the LWIR. By bonding high-quality thin-film germanium (Ge) to a zinc selenide (ZnSe) substrate, we demonstrate transparency from 2 µm to 14 µm and optical losses of just 1 cm−1 at 7.8 µm. Our results demonstrate that hybrid photonic platforms could be invaluable for overcoming the losses of epitaxially grown materials and could enable a wide range of future quantum and nonlinear photonics.
Poly- and per-fluoroalkyl substances in water: Occurrence, analytical methodologies, and remediations strategies: A comprehensive review
Authors: Malatji Nompumelelo , Mpupa Anele , Nomngongo Philiswa Nosizo
Published: January 2024

Poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are fluoro-organic compounds comprising thousands of anthropogenically produced chemicals with various industrial and consumer applications. This review compiles recent information on the sources, occurrence, and health effects of PFAS in aquatic environments. Secondly, as a primary requirement for assessing the PFAS concentration in water, this review systematically summarised the analytical methodologies (sample preparation and analytical detection techniques) for PFAS. Furthermore, health risks associated with PFAS in water are outlined. Finally, researchers worldwide have investigated the strategies for the remediation and elimination of PFAS from water. Previous studies have shown that PFASs are present in various water bodies with the highest concentration detected in Germany (94–4,385 ng·L−1 in river and drinking waters). The findings of this review further revealed that solid-phase extraction techniques were the most preferred for sample preparation compared to liquid–liquid extraction techniques. Solid-phase extraction technique improved the limit of detection and the limit of quantification of many analytical techniques to 0.010–1.15 and 0.030–4.00 ng·L−1, respectively. For PFAS remediation, the adsorption method and chemical oxidation using heat-activated persulfate and photochemical oxidation were the most used techniques. The most studied water matrices were drinking, river, groundwater, wastewater, and modelled ultra-pure water. The most used detection technique was found to be liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS).
Billie Eilish and the Feminist Aesthetics of Depression: White Femininity, Generation Z, and Whisper Singing
Authors: Holmes Jessica A.
Published: January 2024

This article analyzes the representation of depression in Billie Eilish’s music and reception as reflective of its complex status in the West as a clinical diagnosis and lived experience, and considers the prominence of depression in contemporary pop as an aesthetic category dividing along generational, gendered, and racial lines. By claiming and musicalizing depression amid a polarizing reception, Eilish builds on a musical legacy of feminine psychological disturbance, challenging the stigmatization of “madness” in women and cultural panic over the prevalence of depression among Generation Z. Her music demystifies an invisible inner turmoil that her fans identify as “depression,” just as they frame her signature whisper singing as a coherent marker of and antidote for depression. Links between Eilish’s voice and the feminized auditory triggers of ASMR (a homemade sound-effects-based genre of audio-visual performance on YouTube) and the immersive, solitary listening characteristic of headphone and earbud use strengthen her music’s appeal as a form of “mood regulation.” Ultimately, Eilish’s voice and body are the locus onto which fans and detractors project fantasies and anxieties about the generational, gendered, and racial dynamics of depression that often exceed the singer’s stated aims as well as psychiatric definitions of clinical depression. Drawing on work in disability studies, Mad studies, and feminist media studies, I stake out new theoretical ground for analyzing depression in pop as distinct from the lived experiences and discursive logics of disability and madness, while positioning pop music as a creative site of public mental health discourse.

Published: January 2024

A significant number of advances have been made in the last 5 years with respect to the identification, diagnosis, assessment, and management of infants with prenatal opioid exposure and neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS) from birth to early childhood. The primary objective of this review is to summarize major advances that will inform the clinical management of opioid-exposed newborns and provide an overview of NOWS care to promote the implementation of best practices. First, advances with respect to standardizing the clinical diagnosis of NOWS will be reviewed. Second, the most commonly used assessment strategies are discussed, with a focus on presenting new quality improvement and clinical trial data surrounding the use of the new function-based assessment Eat, Sleep, and Console approach. Third, both nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment modalities are reviewed, highlighting clinical trials that have compared the use of higher calorie and low lactose formula, vibrating crib mattresses, morphine compared with methadone, buprenorphine compared with morphine or methadone, the use of ondansetron as a medication to prevent the need for NOWS opioid pharmacologic treatment, and the introduction of symptom-triggered dosing compared with scheduled dosing. Fourth, maternal, infant, environmental, and genetic factors that have been found to be associated with NOWS severity are highlighted. Finally, emerging recommendations on postdelivery hospitalization follow-up and developmental surveillance are presented, along with highlighting ongoing and needed areas of research to promote infant and family well-being for families impacted by opioid use.
los límites de la filosofía y las posibilidades de la sociología en Pierre Bourdieu
Authors: Sandoval Aragón Sergio Lorenzo
Published: January 2024

Desde los orígenes de las ciencias sociales durante el siglo 18 europeo, la filosofía ha mantenido con ellas una relación problemática, particularmente con la sociología. No obstante el proceso histórico de estructuración y diferenciación progresiva de las ciencias sociales respecto de la filosofía, la discusión no está para nada definitivamente zanjada, al menos desde el punto de vista de la filosofía. En este artículo se revisa la posición del sociólogo Pierre Bourdieu al respecto. En contra de la idea según la cual, para Bourdieu, tanto la filosofía como las ciencias sociales son capaces de elaborar problemas y conceptos, diferenciándose solamente por sus métodos y manteniendo entre sí un fecundo intercambio teórico, una lectura procesual de su obra, apoyada en estudios historiográficos recientes, revelan una postura más radical según la cual las ciencias sociales han desarrollado la capacidad autónoma de elaborar un auténtico conocimiento científico. Así, la ambigüedad de Bourdieu en relación con la filosofía, no sería más que la apariencia superficial de un proceso de ruptura permamente, que el desarrollo de su sociología requirió.
Pair potential description on phase stability variations in close-packed polytypism
Authors: Ogane Shinya , Moriguchi Koji
Published: January 2024

We report an extensive analysis on phase stability variations in close-packed (CP) polytypes, including hexagonal CP (hcp or 2H), face-centered cubic (fcc or 3C), and double hexagonal CP (dhcp or 4H) arrangements. This analysis involves the systematic development of interatomic pair potentials and the derivation of computational phase diagrams in the feature space of corresponding potential profiles. We focus on the following key components of interaction model: the reach distance of atomic interactions and perturbative long-range interactions reminiscent of Friedel oscillations which often lead to long-range interaction decay in crystalline materials. The computational experiments reveal that the perturbative interactions reflecting atomic local structures in CP polytypes, essentially diversify the polytypism in the phase diagrams. Using the pure La system with the 4H ground state, we also provide detailed procedures for creating practical pair potentials that approximately reproduce the energetics and physical properties deduced through the first-principles calculations.

Artykuł podejmuje ocenę istniejących uregulowań dotyczących czynności przyjęcia zawiadomienia o przestępstwie zgwałcenia w sytuacji, gdy zawiadamiającym jest sam pokrzywdzony, w kontekście przeciwdziałania zjawisku wtórnej wiktymizacji. Zapobieganie temu zjawisku w obszarze przestępstw seksualnych, a zwłaszcza w przypadku przestępstwa zgwałcenia, jawi się jako szczególnie istotne z uwagi na specyfikę tego przestępstwa i rozległy zakres następstw, jakie jego popełnienie ze sobą niesie. W opracowaniu poruszone zostały zarówno aspekty proceduralne czynności w postaci przyjęcia zawiadomienia o przestępstwie zgwałcenia, jak i aspekty praktyczne, wynikające z „Procedury postępowania Policji z osobą, która doświadczyła przemocy seksualnej”.
Possibilities of using territorial defense armities to protect the site of a mass disaster
Authors: Konieczny Marcin
Published: January 2024

This paper presents the most important issues concerning the use of the Territorial Defense Forces for the task of securing the site of a mass disaster. It discusses the concept and features of a mass disaster, the organization and tasks of Territorial Defense Forces, and the participation of soldiers from this formation in securing the site of a mass disaster. The aim of the article is to present the most important aspects of the participation of Territorial Defense Forces soldiers in securing the site of a mass disaster, mass events. Although the TDF issues have been present and developed in various publications in recent years, there has been no work analyzing the participation of this formation in the activities of securing a mass catastrophe of such events. In the work, classical research methods were used, including the study of sources, their analysis, criticism, heuristics and inference.
Established in 2016, the Territorial Defense Forces constitute a valuable new type of the Armed Forces, which can be very useful in activities related to securing the site of a mass disaster, which is part of the crisis management system. Territorial Defense Forces soldiers can be used to help and safeguard, interrupt an incident, mitigate its effects, prevent bystanders from reaching the crash site, which has a significant impact on securing traces and evidence against their loss or distortion.
The great advantage of the formation is its territoriality, because in the event of a summons to the site of a mass disaster, it can appear very quickly and, in cooperation with the relevant services, promptly take effective action.
Standards of legal protection for animals used in scientific research
Authors: Bróż Oskar , Podolak Agnieszka
Published: January 2024

The setting of appropriate standards of behavior allows a minimum degree of animal protection to be established. As indicated in recital 1 of Directive 2010/63 on the protection of animals used for scientific purposes, differences in national legislation may hinder trade in products and substances in the manufacture of which animal experiments are carried out. The way in which animal welfare is protected depends on the level of knowledge of the animals’ ability to feel and respond to pain, so that, as a result, the standard of animal treatment is constantly improving. With the development of biological and medical sciences, the importance of animals has gradually increased and continues to be high due to the continuous use of living organisms in diverse scientific research. The establishment and development of bioethics has necessitated the creation of legal regulations to protect animals used in research and to guarantee their proper treatment. This paper attempts to describe the current legal standards for the protection of animals used in scientific research and comments on possible changes.
ALGORITHM FOR COMPREHENSIBILITY EVALUATION OF BUSINESS PROCESS MODELS USING NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING
Authors: Shevelev V. D. , Kopp A. M.
Published: January 2024

This research paper is devoted to solving the problem of assessing the quality of business process models, in particular, evaluating the comprehensibility of text labels in these models. The purpose of the work is to increase the understandability of text labels in business process models to improve the overall quality of these models. This problem is relevant, since poorly understandable business process models may cause errors when described workflows are executed, or when they are analyzed for process improvement. Moreover, such errors may decrease the performance of business processes if involved parties misunderstand required tasks and lead to monetary losses or even more dangerous consequences for critical business processes. Thus, to achieve the goal, it is necessary to create an algorithmic solution to solve the specified problem. In this work, the issues that existing studies did not resolve or did not reveal properly, and the main shortcomings of the existing software solutions that should solve the problem mentioned above are identified. The proposed algorithm is based on the natural language processing techniques, such as tokenization and part of speech tagging. The proposed algorithm considers the recommended “verb-object” labeling style of activity text labels in business process models. The comprehensibility of a sample business process model is evaluated using the Python implementation of the proposed algorithmic solution. Obtained results are discussed, a conclusion is made, and future research directions are formulated.
GREY FLOWLESS, OR PREDICTING CAPITAL OUTFLOWS IN CRYPTOCURRENCY
Authors: Amrahova Gunel Jannataly
Published: January 2024

Globalization and irrational capital distribution have fuelled global financial crises. Illicit transactions on a global scale worsen financial challenges, limiting government spending on public services. Amid these challenges, blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have emerged as potential solutions. Due to anonymity public identification through “keys”, some scholars argue that cryptocurrencies create an opportunity for misuse as an easy tool for money laundering, tax evasion and illegal activities. This study investigates the relationship between illicit finance flows and cryptocurrency markets, utilizing grey systems theory and grey relational analysis. Drawing samples from 41 states with the highest cryptocurrency trade volumes, the research reveals nuanced dynamics within the cryptocurrency market, shedding light on the connections between cryptocurrencies, shadow activities, and capital outflows. The findings contribute valuable insights to the ongoing discourse on the impact of cryptocurrencies on global financial stability. The intricate exploration of these interconnections underscores the need for a comprehensive understanding of the role cryptocurrencies play in shaping the contemporary financial landscape.

Unifying the concept of social, economic and ecological development, the new development paradigm was established under the name of sustainable development. Sustainable development should harmonize sensible consumption of natural resources with their protection and ensure a more equitable division of wealth and equal economic development at the global level. Within such a context, science and environmental education constitute the precondition for our joint future. As regards the contents, this paper provides a precise and comprehensive overview of theoretical features of environmental pollution and sustainable development, as well as the most important aspects of environmental and natural resource management. For effective control of environmental pollution to be possible, it is necessary to consider the ethical foundations of environmental economics in particular, and special attention is paid to in the paper. A significant part of this work is devoted to criticism of uncontrolled economic growth and the inefficiency of the state in controlling environmental pollution. Knowledge management for the purpose of sustainable development and development of international regulations on the environment are also included.

BETWEEN THE PHILOSOPHICAL AXES: THE PHILOPHICAL COVERAGE OF THE BRAZILIAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL TEST (ENEM) IN TERMS OF THE COMPLEMENTARY GUIDELINES TO THE NATIONAL CURRICULAR PARAMETERS (PCN+)
Authors: MACEDO ESTER PEREIRA NEVES DE
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT: This article examines how the themes proposed for philosophy at the high school level by the Complementary Guidelines to the Brazilian National Curricular Parameters (Orientações Complementares aos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais - PCN+) were materialized in philosophy questions in Brazilian National High School Exam (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio - Enem). In order to do so, 73 Humanities questions in the Enem tests betweeen 1998 and 2018 were identified as containing primarily philosophical topics. Then, each of these questions were classified in terms of the components of the PCN+ Parametres which it mobilized. By means of an analysis of the quantititative and qualitative coverage of the philosophy component of the exam through the years, this article illustrates some challenges and possibilities that the tests present to the implementation of curriculum normatives. This discussion is particularly important at this moment, when a new Enem is under construction, to adjust to the New High School Curriculum and the new National Common Core (BNCC), especially considering the emphasis that these documents place on concepts such as integration, interdisciplinarity, and autonomy as means to overcome fragmentation, be it between forms of knowledge, between people, between theory and practice. To conclude, I present a few indications about how these reflections contribute to flag points of attention relative to the continuing presence of philosophy in the exam considering its imminent reformulation.

Abstract Coffee is currently one of the main commodities traded in the world. Brazil is the largest producer and exporter of the grain. Fungal diseases are very common in coffee crops and control represents a large part of coffee production costs. The climate is an essential factor in the development of a disease such as phoma leaf spot. This disease is favored by high atmospheric humidity and mild temperatures. In this context, this study aimed to carry out the climatic favorability zoning for one of the main coffee diseases (Phoma ssp.) of the coffee-growing region in Brazil. The study was conducted in the main traditional coffee growing regions, i.e., the states of Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Goiás (GO), and Bahia (BA), totaling 2730 municipalities. Air temperature and daily precipitation data for the current scenario were collected from the WorldClim version 2.1 platform for the latest climatological normal in GeoTIFF format. Future climate variables were obtained by the WorldClim 2.1 platform for the IPSL-CM6A-LR global climate model for the periods 2021-2040, 2041-2060, 2061-2080, and 2081-2100 and the scenarios SSP-1 2.6, SSP-2 4.5, SSP-3 7.0, and SSP-5 8.5, respectively. Thus, zoning was carried out using software of geographic information systems (QGIS), automated with the Python language. Also, graphs were prepared to better represent the results. About 54.77% of the coffee-producing region presented relatively favorable conditions for the development of Phoma leaf spot, 30.55% favorable, 3.20% highly, and 11.48% showed no climate conditions for the occurrence of the disease. The climate conditions from October to March favored the occurrence of phoma leaf spot. The Phoma spp. Leaf spot will probably reduce its occurrence in all future scenarios due to the loss of favorable climate conditions. During the period 2081-2100, 85.03% of the entire region would be unfavorable to the development of homas pp. For the most pessimistic scenario (SSP-5 8.5). Climate changes will provide unsuitable conditions for the development of Phoma spp.
