The Impact of Green Mergers and Acquisitions on Corporate Environmental Performance: Evidence from China’s Heavy-Polluting Industries
Authors: Xu Yingying , Wang Wen , Gao Honggui , Zhu Huaxiong
Published: May 2024

This study examined the impact of green mergers and acquisitions (green M&As) on corporate environmental performance. Applying the Differences-in-Differences (DID) model to a sample of Chinese heavy-polluting-industry companies listed on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from 2010 to 2022, our study results show that the adoption of green M&As by the listed Chinese heavy polluters can lower corporate environmental capital expenditure and significantly improve corporate environmental performance. Meanwhile, the positive effects of green M&As on environmental performance are also found to be stronger for state-owned enterprises, young enterprises, and enterprises located in areas with low financial investments in energy efficiency and environmental protection, according to a heterogeneity study conducted for this paper. The analysis of mediating effects shows that the green M&A of heavily polluting firms will have a catalytic effect on the improvement of firms’ environmental performance by promoting their green technological innovation and, in turn, their environmental performance. Furthermore, the moderating effect analysis demonstrates that the quality of the firm’s internal controls and the CEO’s prior environmental experience are both factors that can support the beneficial impact of green M&A on the enhancement of the firm’s environmental performance. This paper enriches the theoretical research system of green M&A and green investment driving mechanisms, and at the same time provides empirical support and strategic reference for the green strategy decision of heavy-polluting enterprises.

Authors: Breitenmoser Lena , Behner David , Baertsch Alessia , Mondardini Maria Rosa , Hugi Christoph
Published: May 2024

Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG 12) and national waste reduction goals require frequent waste analyses for monitoring and governance decisions. We developed and tested a citizen science (CS)-based household waste diary for ten consecutive days with 89 volunteer households in Switzerland as a complementary monitoring option to official composition analyses. Discrepancies between the CS-based household diary data and the official composition analyses ranged between 55–65% less reported waste quantities for minerals, compound products, and plastics and 80–90% less for paper, avoidable food waste, and glass. Household waste diaries should be digitalized and prolonged to 21–28 days, and volunteers from different demographic groups are needed to produce stratified, representative results. We conclude that a hybrid CS study design involving waste composition analyses and waste diaries could reduce self-reporting biases while increasing the monitoring frequencies of household waste compositions. CS-based hybrid household waste projects can be a powerful means to complement the measures identified in the 2022 Swiss action plan against food waste and for data reporting for the SDG 12.3 Food Waste Index.

Published: May 2024

Bamboo is considered a sustainable construction material due to its ability to grow quickly and its mechanical properties that are comparable to timber. Contributing to the current effort to establish structural bamboo standards in the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP), this study establishes the characteristic compressive strength of four bamboo species: Bambusa vulgaris (36 samples), Dendrocalamus asper (36 samples), Bambusa blumeana (94 samples), and Guadua angustifolia Kunth (30 samples). The samples were subjected to compressive loading following ISO 22157-1 (2017). The characteristic compressive strength values obtained, according to ISO 12122-1 (2014), were 40.35 MPa for B. vulgaris, 40.21 MPa for D. asper, 46.63 MPa for B. blumeana, and 36.99 MPa for G. angustifolia Kunth. Simple linear analysis, one-way ANOVA, and Welch’s t-test were used to analyze the correlation models and establish a comparative analysis of the effects of nodes and geometric and physical properties on the compressive strength of bamboo samples. In comparisons of the characteristic compressive strengths obtained from this study to the strengths of unseasoned structural timber of Philippine woods, all bamboo species showed higher strength values than did other woods, and bamboos thus have great potential as an alternative construction material to timber.

Published: May 2024

Background: Skin substitutes play a crucial role in wound care by actively modulating the wound healing process, promoting angiogenesis, and protecting the integrity of the native extracellular matrix. Consequently, surgeons have increasingly recognized these resources as excellent complements to improve reconstructive outcomes. This review focuses on the author’s experience using these biomaterials in complex cases, highlighting the benefits they bring to patient care. Methods: A literature review was conducted to evaluate the regenerative properties of skin substitutes and their applicability in head and neck, upper and lower extremities, and trunk reconstruction. Results: The reviewed literature, along with the authors’ experience, supports the adjunct use of skin substitutes in various reconstructive situations. Combining them with skin grafts improves resulting skin quality and may also enhance donor site healing. They have proven to be effective in addressing chronic venous ulcers, traumatic wounds with limited donor tissues for coverage, extensive burns, diabetic foot ulcers, and oncological resections in the face and scalp. Furthermore, combining them with autologous tissue shows promising results in achieving stable closure. Conclusions: Incorporating skin substitutes in complex reconstructive scenarios offers multiple benefits. Their regenerative properties and ability to modulate the healing process contribute to enhanced outcomes and reduced overall costs.

Published: May 2024

The dengue virus is a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus that infects ~400 million people worldwide. Currently, there are no approved antivirals available. CRISPR-based screening methods have greatly accelerated the discovery of host factors that are essential for DENV infection and that can be targeted in host-directed antiviral interventions. In the present study, we performed a focused CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats) library screen to discover the key host factors that are essential for DENV infection in human Huh7 cells and identified the Protein Activator of Interferon-Induced Protein Kinase (PACT) as a novel pro-viral factor for DENV. PACT is a double-stranded RNA-binding protein generally known to activate antiviral responses in virus-infected cells and block viral replication. However, in our studies, we observed that PACT plays a pro-viral role in DENV infection and specifically promotes viral RNA replication. Knockout of PACT resulted in a significant decrease in DENV RNA and protein abundances in infected cells, which was rescued upon ectopic expression of full-length PACT. An analysis of global gene expression changes indicated that several ER-associated pro-viral genes such as ERN1, DDIT3, HERPUD1, and EIF2AK3 are not upregulated in DENV-infected PACT knockout cells as compared to infected wildtype cells. Thus, our study demonstrates a novel role for PACT in promoting DENV replication, possibly through modulating the expression of ER-associated pro-viral genes.

While in developed countries urbanisation has mainly taken place in the second half of the 19th century, developing countries are in the middle of their urban growth now. The other major issue of Climate change is now a current reality. Three major movements are coming together:  urbanization, decentralization, and the rise of domestic capital markets. The rapid process of urbanisation and the growing number of the megacities, cause a lot of different ecological, economical and social problems and risks. This impacts cause challenges for urban policies and urban planning strategies to manage the development in a sustainable way, when the population in some cities doubles every 10 to 15 years. As the numerous national and international conferences on urbanisation and megacities show, there is an obvious need for more and better urban development strategies, long term land policy and forceful urban management.

Published: May 2024

É comum a observação de efeito de puncionamento de pilares em lajes planas (também chamadas lajes cogumelo) de edificações em concreto armado. Este efeito pode ser atenuado com a introdução de armadura de cisalhamento em lajes, engrossamento da espessura das lajes planas na região do perímetro ocupado pelo cone de puncionamento (popularmente conhecida como capitel), ou até mesmo, em casos extremos, de ambos. Os fatores mais comuns determinantes para sua ocorrência são, em termos gerais: a espessura da laje plana, a carga no pilar e a resistência característica à compressão do concreto (fck) na idade de retirada de escoramentos (e formas), comumente aos 28 dias. É possível, portanto, mitigar os efeitos do puncionamento, adotando-se valores ideais para tais fatores. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar, utilizando-se para isso um caso real de uma edificação a ser construída (com severa limitação arquitetônica de pé direito útil), os efeitos e vantagens da utilização da alternativa referente à inserção de capitéis na região dos pilares. Para tais resultados do estudo, foram realizadas modelagem e análise estrutural nos Software CypeCAD e TQS e avaliados resultados de deslocamentos (flechas), bem como quantitativos de aço consumidos em ambos os modelos estruturais, comparando-os nas seguintes condições: com e sem os capiteis.

A obesidade, caracterizada pelo acúmulo de tecido adiposo branco, o qual excede a
capacidade de gasto energético, é considerada um dos maiores problemas de saúde em todo o mundo. Sendo uma doença que atinge todas as faixas etárias, o estudo da obesidade na infância vem ganhando importância no meio científico. Nesse trabalho, nós objetivamos avaliar o impacto da programação à obesidade induzida por meio da redução da ninhada em ratos durante a lactação, sobre adiposidade e o nível anti-inflamatório hipotalâmico. Para isso usou-se ratos Wistar machos criados em ninhada reduzida (3 ratos por mães durante toda a lactação, grupo NR), enquanto o grupo controle (ninhada padrão, NP) foi amamentado em ninhada de 8 filhotes por mãe. A cada dois dias foram aferidos o peso corporal, a ingestão alimentar e hídrica e aos 100 de dias de vida, os ratos foram eutanasiados para a coleta do hipotálamo, o qual foi usado para quantificar o nível tecidual da interleucina 10 (IL-10). Em comparação aos ratos NP, ao longo do desenvolvimento os ratos NR apresentaram peso corporal 10% maior (P<0,05), bem como hiperfagia (6%, P<0,05). Não se observou diferença estatística entre os grupos quanto a ingestão hídrica e nem quanto aos níveis de IL10 (P>0,05). Em suma, pode-se afirmar que a superoferta alimentar no início da vida leva ao desenvolvimento de maior ganho de peso ao longo da vida adulta.

Published: May 2024

O número de praticantes de exercícios físicos amadores, dentre eles a corrida de rua, vem crescendo ao longo dos anos. Consequentemente, aumentou-se a procura por suplementos alimentares com o intuito de melhorar a performance durante o exercício, geralmente sem comprovação científica de seus reais benefícios. Diante isto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do bochecho com carboidratos no desempenho esportivo de 10 corredores de rua do sexo masculino. Trata-se de um ensaio clínico com delineamento cross over onde realizou-se uma avaliação antropométrica (peso e estatura), da composição corporal (dobras cutâneas), da ingestão alimentar (recordatório 24 horas) e dois testes físicos de 10km contra o relógio sob o bochecho com suco artificial isento de calorias ou com Maltodextrina. As variáveis estão apresentadas em média ± desvio padrão (DP). Após atestada a normalidade dos dados, foi realizado um teste T de Student pareado comparando o tempo nos dois tipos de intervenções dietéticas. O nível de significância adotado foi de p<0,05. A média de idade dos atletas foi 29 ± 4 anos, com peso corporal de 80,6 ± 8,7 kg, estatura de 1,79 ± 0,05 m e percentual de gordura de 11,6 ± 2,5. A ingestão de calorias e macronutrientes esteve aquém quando comparado a preconização da literatura. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante frente ao bochecho com carboidrato e placebo (2917 ± 386 e 2885 ± 879 s, respectivamente). Sendo assim, conclui-se que o bochecho com carboidrato não promoveu melhora no desempenho de corredores de 10 km.

Authors: Miranda Ana Luisa Albuquerque , Ramos Fabio Ruela de Oliveira , Cavalcante Leticia Silva
Published: May 2024

O uso de estatinas na prevenção primária de doenças cardiovasculares em adultos tem sido tema de debate na área médica. As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) são a principal causa de mortalidade em todo o mundo e uma causa significativa de morbidade. Níveis elevados de colesterol no sangue estão associados a eventos cardiovasculares e são considerados um importante fator de risco. Reduzir os níveis elevados de colesterol é uma estratégia para diminuir as chances de sofrer um evento cardiovascular. As estatinas são os tratamentos de primeira linha para reduzir os níveis de colesterol. Os estudos clínicos avaliados demonstraram consistentemente os benefícios do uso das estatinas, como redução de desfechos cardiovasculares, particularmente em indivíduos com histórico prévio de DCV. Além disso, as estatinas também demonstraram uma diminuição do risco de um primeiro evento cardiovascular em indivíduos saudáveis ​​com alto risco de DCV, conhecido como prevenção primária. Para entender melhor seu uso, foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica para avaliar os efeitos das estatinas na prevenção primária de doenças cardiovasculares, focando tanto nos benefícios como nos danos. Os resultados demonstraram que as estatinas podem ter benefícios na redução do risco de eventos cardiovasculares em pessoas de alto risco, mesmo na ausência de histórico prévio da doença. No entanto, a revisão também destacou a importância de analisar individualmente os riscos associados ao uso de estatinas, tais como efeitos secundários musculares e hepáticos, bem como a relação custo-eficácia do tratamento a longo prazo. Em conclusão, as estatinas são medicamentos valiosos para a prevenção primária de DCV em adultos, tendo eficácia comprovada na redução de eventos cardiovasculares. No entanto, é crucial considerar os efeitos adversos e avaliar cuidadosamente o tratamento individualizado. Mais pesquisas e monitoramento são necessários para determinar o uso ideal de estatinas na prevenção de doenças cardiovasculares.

The results support theorical findings that website quality effects the online booking intention only for Marriott Hotel, However a divergence of results for local hotels is noticed, due to the poor use of their websites, which is measured by the lowest online reviews number on TripAdvisor compared with Google Travel platform. Moreover, the study supports the theorical findings that online reviews number and especially positive online reviews effect the hotel customer's online booking intention; where high keyword rates are expected for best reviewd hotels.
Analyzing the meta dimensions in TRPGs: Meta-action, metacognition, and metagaming
Authors: Leon Cristo , Lipuma James
Published: May 2024

Roleplay has critically influenced academic dialogue on education, psychology, and narrative. However, little research has been conducted around "gaming sessions," specifically the "point of contact" amongst participants, due to its ephemeral qualities and the subjective nature of the co-creative process. Acknowledging the complexity of the subject, the authors established a clear set of definitions. They conducted a literature review to examine the existing understanding of critical components related to gameplay in Tabletop Roleplay Games (TRPGs). They are exploring TRPGs through the lens of narrative storytelling to understand better and categorize the 'collaborative' and 'co-designed interactions during the gameplay experience. The paper discusses the three interconnected ideas of meta-action, metacognition, and metagaming concerning the effective co-creation process and its impact on how participants collectively create and explore fantasy worlds in an imaginary cosmos by using a vast system of concepts, rules, and mechanisms that function as the background or canvas for action and interaction amongst them. As Language, Communication, and Education occupy a central role in the gaming experience, miscommunication and assumptions will lead to a break in immersion. Metagaming is commonly labeled as the "worst" that can happen in a gaming session. The problem is that it is also commonly confused with meta-action and metacognition, which are essential to the game. This article aims to provide the tools to all players that will allow them to enjoy a more engaging in-game experience, based on the idea that the more players manage metagaming properly, the better the game experience will be for all participants involved. The main focus is defining essential discourse clearly and clarifying the line between in-game and extra-game narration, description, and action. The authors will start conceptualizing the situation by defining general terms. A systematic review of the literature (SRL) integrated into the three phases, planning, management, and reporting the results, will be presented in the following sections. An analysis of the concepts of' Gaming and extra gaming' followed by brief 'Examples at the point of contact' and conversations around 'Action and Meta-actions' will serve as a reference to discuss the metacognition and metagaming concepts. Finally, the authors will present their conclusions and a glossary of terms.

Urban waterbirds serve as crucial bioindicators for evaluating environmental pollution in urban areas, necessitating a focus on tailored non-invasive ecotoxicological biomonitoring methods. This paper adopts a multidisciplinary perspective to underscore the pivotal role of biomonitoring in gauging environmental quality and identifying threats. Emphasizing the versatility and ease of sampling urban birds, we highlight their correlation with human exposure to pollutants, alongside the significant role of wetlands, particularly Ramsar sites, in conservation endeavors and as habitats for migratory birds. Additionally, the paper delves into the relevance of urban birds in monitoring pollutants, showcasing their efficacy in reflecting urbanization or pollution gradients. Proposed non-invasive biomonitoring techniques, including feather and feces analysis, offer practical means to assess heavy metal, microplastics, and other pollutant concentrations without harming the avian species. A comprehensive methodology proposal for waterbird sampling, encompassing pre-sampling activities, basic and specialized laboratory characterization, and data collection in a Central Mexican Ramsar site, is detailed as examples and experiences into these considerations. Concluding insights underscore the impact of emerging pollutants, such as microplastics, on waterbird health and nutritional status, advocating for multivariate statistical analysis to elucidate correlations between morphological characteristics, elemental composition, and pollutant presence.

Os extratos vegetais são aditivos fitogênicos oriundos de plantas que produzem metabólitos secundários ricos em compostos fenólicos e polifenólicos (fenóis simples e ácidos fenólicos, quinonas, flavonas, taninos), terpenos, alcalóides, lectinas e polipeptídios. Esses compostos apresentam ação antioxidante, antimicrobiana, de melhoria na saúde intestinal e aumento da absorção e digestão de nutrientes. Desta forma, tornam-se alternativas aos aditivos sintéticos comumente utilizados na avicultura com o diferencial de ser um produto natural que não gera resíduos. O potencial antimicrobiano dos extratos acontece devido seu caráter hidrofóbico, que penetra a membrana celular bacteriana causando sua ruptura e morte, sendo assim, são capazes de modular a microbiota intestinal de galinhas poedeiras, melhorando o aproveitamento das dietas e, consequentemente, a produção e qualidade dos ovos. A presença dos polifenóis nos extratos herbais pode promover atividade antioxidante sobre os ovos produzidos, melhorando qualidade e possivelmente aumentando sua vida de prateleira. O uso desses extratos herbais na nutrição avícola tem sido cada vez mais difundido, entretanto, existem mais pesquisas desenvolvidas com frangos de corte do que com aves de postura. Com isso, este trabalho de revisão tem como objetivo apresentar os mecanismos de atuação, as principais plantas utilizadas e as vantagens do uso dos extratos herbais na avicultura de postura.

La visión holística de los Agroecosistemas (AE) implica comprender las necesidades del agricultor y su relación con la biota, su producción y el ambiente. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo caracterizar el AE “Moyola”, desde la percepción del productor (Aspecto socio-cultural). Se describe el diseño espacial y temporal de los cultivos; la información de campo se documenta con bibliografía, se calculan los índices de diversidad de Margalef, Shanon-Wiener y Simpson en las áreas de cultivo de lima persa y área conservada (Aspecto ambiental); se hace el análisis de beneficio-costo del cultivo comercial (lima persa) con una proyección a 5 años (Aspecto económico). El AE posee una superficie de 35 ha, tienen una Unidad de Manejo Ambiental (UMA). En el 2018, el agricultor estableció diversos cultivos aledaños a la UMA para mejorar sus ingresos y obtener alimentos; considerando la orografía para establecer las zonas de los cultivos. En la meseta establece una hectárea de lima persa (Citrus latifolia Tan.), se intercala cacahuate (Arachis hypogaea L.), y se conservan los árboles de guaje (Leucaena leucacephala Lam.). En otro sitio, siembra maíz negro criollo (Zea mays L.) y en las laderas planta guanábana (Anonna muricata L.) intercalada con calabaza (Curcubita sp. Huber) y cempazúchil (Tagetes erecta L.); también conserva dos áreas de mango manila y una de tocotín (Mangifera indica L.) estas acciones favorecen la biodiversidad de cultivos. Para resolver la limitante de agua, construye una olla de captación de lluvia.
De acuerdo con los índices de diversidad el área de cultivo de lima persa es menos diversa que el área conservada (UMA); las fuentes de guano que obtiene de su predio son una alternativa como abono para los cultivos. El análisis económico del cultivo lima persa muestra que será rentable, con ello se crea una fuente de empleo y se favorece el arraigo y bienestar del agricultor. De acuerdo con el manejo, se considera que el AE “Moyola” está en un proceso de transición hacia un enfoque sustentable.
Comparison of the effectiveness of treatment of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis between monotherapy with splints and splints in combination with platelet-rich plasma
Authors: Shynchukovskyi I.A. , Tereshchuk O.H.
Published: May 2024

Today there is a tendency to increase the prevalence of Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis (TMJ) osteoarthritis, which is a chronic degenerative joint disease. According to international statistics, 28–38% of people in the age group of 9–90 years have signs of TMJ osteoarthritis. The aim of our study was to compare the effectiveness of treatment of TMJ osteoarthritis between monotherapy with splints and splinys in combination with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). The experiment involved 8 patients, divided into 2 level groups. The control group (4 patients) received treatment with splints, the experimental group – splits with PRP therapy. The effectiveness of treatment was assessed by measuring the radiological density of the cortical plate of the mandibular head according to the Hounsfield scale, the degree of mouth opening, filling out a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and a questionnaire at the end of treatment. According to the results of the study, the experimental group received more effective treatment, which is confirmed by the VAS, the degree of mouth opening and changes in the radiological density of the cortical plate of the articular head. At the end of the treatment, patients completed a questionnaire about the improvement of their condition, where 0 points meant no effect from the treatment, and 10 points meant a subjective feeling of complete recovery. The arithmetic mean of the improvement scores in the control group was 6.75, and in the experimental group – 9.00 points. Based on the results of the experiment, we can state that the effectiveness of treatment of TMJ osteoarthritis with splints in combination with PRP therapy is greater than that of monotherapy with occlusal splints. Therefore, if the patient has no contraindications to treatment with platelet-rich plasma, we can recommend the use of splits in combination with PRP therapy for the treatment of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis.

The focus of the World Health Organization (WHO) on health problems related to children today is the problem of stunting. The high number of stunting in the world including Indonesia has made the government try to create a movement to minimize stunting in Indonesia because of the many negative effects stunting causes. One of them is gross motor development disorder. This study aims to describe the development of stunted children's gross motor skills in Gantarang District, Bulukumba Regency. The type of research used in this research is descriptive with a cross sectional approach. The population in this study were stunted children aged 3-5 years in Gantarang District, Bulukumba Regency, with a total sample of 120 children (n=120). Data collection was carried out by taking purposive sampling through the TGMD-2 questionnaire. The collected data was then processed in SPSS version 26 to see the distribution of respondents, parents of respondents and gross motor skills of respondents. The description of the development criteria for gross motor skills for stunting children aged 3-5 years is dominated by male sex (50.8%), age 3 years (50.7%), body weight > 2,500 grams (86.6%), height per age (TB /U) the highest criteria were short criteria (80.0%), weight for age (BB/U) the highest criteria were less criteria (53.3%) and height per body weight (BB/TB) the highest criteria were good nutrition criteria (85.0 %) and it was found that 36 children (30.0%) had above average gross motor skills and there was 1 child with low criteria (0.8%) and 2 children with very low criteria (1.7%). so that better attention is needed from the government, physiotherapists and parents for the development of stunted children's gross motor skills.
The Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence Level and Conflict Management Strategies for Female Practicing Nurses with Dual Roles in the Inpatient Room of RSUD Sumedang

Published: May 2024

The nursing environment is unique and has the potential for conflicts to arise. Effective conflict management is crucial for redirecting disputes in a constructive direction. Emotional intelligence , as an internal personality characteristic, significantly influences conflict management. This research aims to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence  and conflict management strategies. A quantitative methodology was employed, utilizing Spearman Rho correlation analysis to analyze the data. The sample in this study consisted of 107 female practicing nurses with multiple roles in the inpatient ward of RSUD Sumedang, selected using the proportional random sampling technique. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, indicating a significant relationship between the level of emotional intelligence  and the conflict management strategies of competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating, with significance levels and correlation coefficients, namely <.001 (-0.510), <.001 (0.614), 0.038 (0.201), <.001 (-0.757), and <.001 (0.688), respectively. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the level of emotional intelligence  is positively correlated with conflict management strategies such as collaborating, compromising, and accommodating. Meanwhile, conflict management strategies involving avoiding and competing show a negative correlation. This demonstrates that selecting a constructive conflict management strategy requires a high level of emotional intelligence . Conversely, nurses possessing elevated emotional intelligence  may lean towards avoiding or refraining from aggressive competition in conflict situations to preserve positive relationships among colleagues.

Fires often come without warning, presenting unexpected risks for firefighters who must remain alert while on duty. This profession is classified as a job that is full of high risks, and the level of risk faced is closely related to the implementation of an occupational health and safety (K3) management system. This research uses a quantitative analytical survey approach with a cross-sectional design to explore the relationship between the implementation of an K3 management system and the risk of accidents among firefighters. In this study, 36 officers were selected as samples using the random sampling method. Primary data was obtained through questionnaires filled out by respondents and assessment sheets prepared by researchers. Data analysis used the chi-square test with a confidence level of 95% (? = 0.05). Rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho) occurs if the p value <0.05, which concludes that there is a significant relationship. Research findings show that as many as 30 field officers (83.3%) are within the scope of the K3 management system which is categorized as poor. There is a significant relationship between the implementation of the K3 management system and the risk of accidents (p=0.000). In order to minimize the risk of work accidents, increasing awareness and discipline of officers in using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is very important. It is hoped that the findings from this research can become a basis for related parties to make system improvements and increase the safety of firefighters in the future. Efforts to increase awareness of the importance of K3 and the use of PPE are expected to reduce the risk of accidents and better protect officers as they carry out their duties to protect the public from the dangers of fire.

identidade judaica amazônida em Paulo Jacob
Authors: Marques Karina
Published: May 2024

Nosso artigo versa sobre o romance de pendor autobiográfico Um pedaço de lua caía na mata (1990) do escritor judeu manauara Paulo Jacob (1921-2003). Esta obra retrata a história da imigração judaica sefardita na região amazônica através do percurso de exílio do protagonista Salomão. Nossa tese é que cada período de sua vida – o navegar no barco Jerusalém e o acostar em Parintins – corresponderia a uma dimensão da identidade judaica: o “hebraísmo” e o “israelismo”, segundo André Neher (2007). Dividido entre a abertura ao mundo ou a preservação de sua singularidade enquanto judeu, a construção de um “terceiro-espaço”, na concepção de Homi Bhabha (2007), unindo a mística judaica ao folclore amazônico, permite-lhe transfigurar esse conflito interiorizado. Jacob propõe, assim, a construção de uma identidade judaica amazônida.
inevitável encontro com a onça
Authors: Sarmento-Pantoja Tânia
Published: May 2024

Com base em correlações entre categorias etnográficas, como antropomorfização e compadrio, associadas a categorias oriundas dos contos de homens,  literatura de viagens e narrativas xamânicas, o presente estudo busca abordar, no conto “Satã, o felino maldito”, uma das narrativas dos Contos amazonenses, de Leão Pacífico Esaguy, o protagonismo judeu no interior de uma relação comunitária, marcada pelo registro da diferença, ora entre animais e homens, ora entre caboclos e judeus, à luz de um enredo, que em tom anedótico, discorre sobre a caçada a uma onça.
Judaísmo na Amazônia, espaço fronteiriço da cultura e costumes Sefaraditas
Authors: Benchimol-Barros Silvia Helena
Published: May 2024

Este estudo aborda a realidade dos judeus sefaraditas na Amazônia brasileira sob a perspectiva da preservação dos costumes imanados da religião em nova ambiência, motivada pelo movimento diaspórico. Inserem-se nas análises, o conceito de tradução cultural e a noção de entre-lugar. Faz-se presente breve retrospectiva histórica dos deslocamentos populacionais provocadores das ressignificações decorrentes do processo de imigração e dos contatos interculturais. Como aportes teóricos, adota-se os estudos de Bhabha (1990, 2007); Derrida (2002); Buden e Nowotny (2009) sobre tradução e desconstrução; e Benchimol (1998) e Heller (2010) nos trabalhos sobre os judeus sefaraditas na Amazônia, entre outros. As reflexões resultantes nos levam à percepção de um dualismo que contrapõe essencialismo vs. hibridismo – evidentes, respectivamente nas práticas religiosas e nos costumes judaicos que se justificam pelos fatores motivadores: sobrevivência e resistência.
