Authors: Melo Viviane Florentino de , Vieira Rodrigo Drumond
Published: August 2022

Neste trabalho, apresentamos três critérios avaliativos para atividades de júri simulado no ensino de ciências. Os critérios emergiram a partir de uma pesquisa de abordagem etnográfica que utilizou análise de discurso como metodologia para investigar duas atividades de júri simulado realizadas em uma disciplina de Pesquisa e Prática de Ensino de Física. As atividades versaram sobre uma questão sociocientífica da atualidade – o problema das ligações elétricas irregulares (conhecidas como “gatos”), comuns em residências e no comércio no estado do Rio de Janeiro. A partir de análises discursivas, propomos os seguintes critérios: 1)Temática abordada: possibilita o desenvolvimento de uma visão ampliada da situação, por exemplo, no caso de discussões de QSCs, e também o direcionamento didático da argumentação; 2) Presença do discurso transacional: evidencia que os estudantes articulam em sua fala, a fala de outros colegas de modo coerente e consistente e; 3) Consistência e coerência dos argumentos apresentados: evidencia que os estudantes apresentam justificativas para suas proposições. Discutimos a importância de parâmetros objetivos para avaliação de atividades desenvolvidas em sala de aula e também do aprendizado dos critérios para a vida dos estudantes.

Published: August 2022

Abstract. In the field of floating wind energy large-scale wind turbine models deployed in natural environment represent a key link between small-scale laboratory tests and full-scale prototypes. While implying smaller cost, design and installation effort than a full-scale prototype, large-scale models are technologically very similar to prototypes, can be tested in natural sea and wind conditions and reduce by a consistent amount the dimensional scaling issues arising in small-scale experiments. In this framework the presented work is reporting the aerodynamic and control system assessment of a 1:15 model of the DTU 10 MW wind turbine installed on a multipurpose platform model for fish farming and energy production. The model has operated for six months in a natural laboratory and has been exposed to fully natural and uncontrolled environmental conditions. Assessment is performed in terms of rotor thrust force and power controller parameters such as rotor speed, blade pitch and rotor power as a function of incoming wind speed.

Authors: Shafiq Muhammad Nouman , Yang Xiuyun , Nawaz Muhammad Atif
Published: August 2022

Considering that one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to promote education, in this regard, remittances have been suggested as a preferred motivator, especially in developing nations. In recent decades, migration from underdeveloped to developed countries has grown, which benefits the country economically and socially. Although, literature has witnessed the favorable impact of remittances on macroeconomic variables. However, little research examined these implications on education. The current study explores remittances' impact on education in developing countries. Data is taken from 90 developing countries over the period 1991-2020. Data is collected from two main sources: World Development Indicators and ICRG. For the analysis, remittances are an independent variable, whereas education is the dependent variable. Control variables include GDP per capita growth, education expenditures, urban population, and democracy. Results obtained from dynamic panel GMM indicate remittances' positive and significant impact on education. Similar results were found in the case of all control variables. The study suggests developing suitable incentives for migrants to remit, particularly the strategies persuading the costs and networks of remittances

The investigation comprised an evaluation of the use of the catalyst, 1%Ru/TiO2, to oxidize Phenylmethanol into benzenecarbaldehyde. nitrogen adsorption isotherms and transmittance electron microscope (TEM) were deployed to delineate the properties of the supported catalysts. The findings indicated a superior catalytic performance from 1%Ru/TiO2 prepared using sol-immobilization method. No reaction was taken place with blank reaction or with undoped support. This was deemed to be a consequence of the dispersion and loading of Ru on the TiO2.The reaction conditions, i.e., temperature, reaction time, nature of catalyst and activating quantity, were optimized to achieve superior reaction parameters. This process gave rise to a benzyl alcohol transformation rate of up to 10%; and selectivity of benzaldehyde was 98%.

Escherichia coli is a part of human intestinal flora and considered the second most common death factor between children younger than five years. Escherichia coli Shiga-like, Heat-labile toxins and multidrug-resistant are important virulence factors. Therefore, the main targets of this work were molecular diagnosis and characterization of toxine genes Shiga-like and Heat-labile and resistance genes of ciprofloxacin and gentamicin on molecular basis for Escherichia coli isolated from children stool sample in Egypt. The gene detection was carried out using two different approaches which were using chromosome and plasmid. Escherichia coli isolates were resistant to 24 antibiotics including four categories based on their functions. For example, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, novobiocin and vancomycin. All of tested strains showed band near 300 bp that represents of shiga-like toxin (SLT) gene in their genomic DNA. Heat-labile toxin (LT) fragment ~ 200 bp was detected in plasmid of strain 8H and 8G. Moreover, gentamycin resistance fragment (aac C2) was detected in chromosomal DNA of all strains as a single robust fragment of molecular weight ~ 856 bp. In the case of ciprofloxacin-resistance gene a slight amplification was detected in strain 8G as well as 8H at about 1 kb and 800 bp in genomic, while it was absent in plasmids of tested strains.

Diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB) is the first step to determine the next treatment management of patient care. The success of the treatment will not be achieved without the determined accurate diagnosis rapidly. The definitive diagnosis of tuberculosis includes the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis through smear staining or histopathological examination or culture method or molecular methods, however some of the methods have limitations for TB diagnosis, especially on extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB). In EPTB, culture method is time consuming till 6-8 weeks, where as it requires a rapid diagnosis, while tissue biopsy to obtain histopathological images is an invasive procedure. Likewise, the constrains on determining diagnosis of pulmonary TB (PTB) especially child TB and EPTB. In certain condition, the detected ADA level exceeds the detection limit as well as in TB disease with an active process. To study the meaning detection of Serum Adenosis Deaminase in serum of patients as an indicator in diagnosing of active disease process in Pulmonary and Extra Pulmonary Tuberculosis. This study was an observational study with a cross sectional study method, carried out in 8 months, by taking serum of blood samples from patients diagnosed with PTB and EPTB. The sample examination, then measuring the ADA serum levels using the ELISA method in Dr Ramelan Hospital Surabaya Indonesia, and cofirmed MTBC in blood samples using standard PCR of gyrB gene region in the Tuberculosis Laboratory, Tropical Disease Institute, Airlangga University, Surabaya, Indonesia. In totally 176 serum samples form PTB and EPTB patients, at January 2020 until December 2020, there were no significant results between serum Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) levels in diagnosing Pulmonary Tuberculosis and Extra Pulmonary Tuberculosis at Dr. Ramelan Hospital Surabaya. So, in this study, ADA serum levels could have the potential role in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis and EPTB, otherwise this study revealed that ADA serum activity is not a useful test for differentiating tuberculosis from other respiratory diseases, and could be an additional test especially for disease active progressive or recovery.

Waterlogging stress is a limiting factor in sugarcane growth due to global climate change. In Indonesia,Waterlogging stress in sugarcane areas is caused by high rainfall and the increasing number of sugarcaneplants cultivated on land with less than optimal drainage systems. In this study, four sugarcane genotypes,1 Bululawang commercial genotype (M1), and three mutation breeding genotypes using EMS mutagens(M2, M3 & M4) were subjected to waterlogging stress for 90 days. They observed data at 30 DAT, 60 DAT,and 90 DAT. The study results showed that waterlogging stress had an impact on decreasing leaf area, leafrelative water content, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic efficiency, and inhibition of plant height growth.Sugarcane will respond to waterlogging stress conditions; a series of response forms given by plants includeanatomical, morphological, physiological, and biochemical responses as a form of resistance in dealingwith waterlogging stress. The sugarcane M4 genotype gave the best growth response under waterloggingstress through indicators of leaf area, RWC, chlorophyll content, photochemical efficiency, and plant heightcompared to other genotypes. All sugarcane genotypes showed changes in root morphology throughadventitious root formation in response to waterlogging conditions.

Published: August 2022

India is the highest producer of milk and second largest producer of fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, a large amount of that production is lost due to deficient post harvest technology. According to an estimation by Associated Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India, the post harvest loss of fruits and vegetables range between Rs.200 to 250 crore annually. The establishment of Food Processing Industries (FPIs) can help to mitigate these colossal losses effectively and efficiently. Furthermore, generating full-time employment opportunities for the rural workforce is another positive facet of food processing industries. The fact remains that FPIs share to Gross Domesti Product (GDP) far exceeds the contribution by other manufacturing industries. As such, India can hardly afford to ignore the importance of FPIs as it can unify and combat several diverse national issues. The creation of a ministry, dedicated to the implementation of Food processing, stands as testimony to the fact that the Indian Government has taken initiatives to develop the prospect of growth in FPIs. This article focuses on the performance of FPIs in India.

Impact of patch size on tree biomass and carbon stock from a tropical dry forest of West Bengal, India
Authors: Manna S.S.
Published: August 2022

The patterns of biomass and stock carbon distribution across different size of patches in a fragmentedlandscape have been poorly investigated. This paper deals with the estimation of biomass and carbon stockof trees in different girth classes by the nondestructive method in a dry tropical fragmented forest landscapeof Jhargram district, West Bengal, India. I analyzed on the basis of DBH (Diameter at Breast Height) anddensity values of trees. These values were noticed highest in the girth class 67-101 (cbh in cm) for 1 ha, 50ha, and 100 ha patches. But in case of 10 ha patch it showed top value in girth class 32-66 (cbh in cm). Theamount of total biomass and stock carbon observed maximum (367.919 and 183.959 t/ha respectively) in100 ha patch and minimum (45.846 and 22.923 t/ha respectively) in 1 ha patch. It may be due to the occurrenceof greater density and age of the trees in 100 ha forest patch. This research indicates that the patch size oftropical forest is proportionally related to the amount of ground biomass and stock carbon. Hence,fragmentation creates major threats to the amount of stock carbon in the forest landscape.

Authors: Nalawade P. M. , Gadakh B. L. , B. Kadam Amol
Published: August 2022

This article provides an improved vegetation change detection technique for the analysis of satellite imagebased on normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). The normalized difference vegetation indexmeasures the amount of vegetation on the earthâs surface across a large region. Remote sensing deliversspectral data from satellites in digital form without any direct interaction with the item. In the form ofimaging, this digital data is transformed into visual images. In different settings such as topography,biodiversity, land use, cultural elements, and so on, imagery is the best and most trustworthy source ofdata about the earthâs surface. In the hands of geographers, the geographic information system (GIS) is arelatively new technology. This index takes use of the disparity features of two bands a multispectral rasterdataset: chlorophyll pigment absorptions in the red band (Red) and high reflectivity of plant materials inthe near-infrared (NIR) band from a multispectral raster dataset. The NDVI for every pixel always yields afigure between -1 and +1, although no vegetation cover yields a value near to zero. The NDVI value around+1 represents the maximum area under the vegetation cover. The NDVI value near to -1 indicates barrenexpanses of rock, sand, or built-up areas. In urban area, vegetation plays essential role in enhancing themicroclimate. Natural vegetation has declined in many tropical cities as a result of urbanization. The Nashikcity is located to northwest region of the Maharashtra in India. The normalized difference vegetation indexwas analyzed using Landsat satellite imaginary data for the study period 2001-2021. The results showedthat the vegetation cover of the Nashik city declined due to urban sprawl. The class, very low densityvegetation explains that the area has increased which clearly indicates that the vegetation cover has beendecreased from 2001 to 2021, i.e. 25.51% to 55.87% per sq.km area. The class, very high density vegetationexplains that the area has decreased from 2001 to 2021, i.e. 11.66% to 5.54%% per sq.km area.

O presente estudo contempla a discussão das relações entre planos estaduais de turismo e marcas territoriais na realidade de estados brasileiros. O objetivo é compreender se (e como) Rio Grande do Norte, Rondônia e Rio Grande do Sul estariam desenvolvendo seus planos de turismo estadual baseados nas marcas territoriais como estratégia para o desenvolvimento turí­stico, estendendo essa compreensão para o grau de inserção dessas marcas nesses documentos especí­ficos. A metodologia é de natureza qualitativa, sendo um estudo descritivo-explicativo. Utiliza-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com coleta de dados nos sites oficiais de turismo, além dos Planos Estratégicos e de Marketing Turí­stico e marcas territoriais adotadas nos três estados analisados. Faz-se a análiseÂ  comparativa entre as realidades investigadas a partir do aprofundamento de oito categorias analí­ticas preestabelecidas. Os resultados apontam que o RN se encontra num patamar mais avançado nas estratégias para expansão de sua marca turí­stica. No RS, as ações de desenvolvimento do turismo vêm perdendo espaço, identificando-se a necessidade de recuperar e renovar sua marca.Â  Já a realidade de RO revela que estado ainda se encontra num estágio inicial do desenvolvimento de ações estruturantes e estratégicas voltadas ao desenvolvimento de sua marca. A conclusão reitera a existência de marcas territoriais nos planos estaduais do turismo nos três estados do Brasil.

Authors: Scapin Beatriz , Troian Alessandra , De Oliveira Sibele Vasconcelos
Published: August 2022

As políticas públicas são capazes de influenciar as dinâmicas territoriais sob diferentes dimensões. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa buscou avaliar, na perspectiva dos agentes de desenvolvimento, como o PRONAF influenciou o processo de (des)territorialização da agricultura familiar nos municípios de Nova Palma e Pinhal Grande (RS). O estudo caracteriza-se como qualitativo e aplicou diferentes técnicas de coleta de dados, a saber: pesquisa bibliográfica, dados secundários e entrevistas semiestruturadas com nove agentes de desenvolvimento, realizadas entre os meses de outubro e novembro de 2020. Observou-se que o PRONAF tem contribuído tanto para à territorialização da agricultura familiar e à sua desterritorialização. O programa levou à expansão da área plantada e ao aumento da produtividade e possibilitou a melhoria da infraestrutura dos estabelecimentos agropecuários e a aquisição de máquinas, reduzindo a carga de trabalho. Além disso, o PRONAF tem contribuído para o aumento da renda dos agricultores familiares ao elevar a produtividade agrícola. Embora o PRONAF tenha auxiliado na territorialização da produção de grãos visando à comercialização, tanto a produção diversificada quanto a produção para autoconsumo estão presentes. Com a ampliação do acesso ao PRONAF, ampliou-se também a participação das mulheres nas atividades agrícolas. No entanto, houve uma redução na cooperação entre os agricultores.
