Authors: Zazulak Bohdanna , Katz David
Published: October 2024

You can’t use an old map to explore a new world.                                                                                                                                                                                       —Albert Einstein
We are at a fork in the evolutionary road to athletic wellness. While elite athletes are achieving unsurpassed magnificence in strength, endurance, power, and skill, much of our population is experiencing a devolution from poor lifestyle choices that negatively influence both human and planetary health. The alarming descent to a lesser state of collective health puts most of our sedentary population at greater risk of injury, disease, dysfunction, and chronic pain. The father of sports medicine, Herodicus, was the first known physician to recommend exercise for the treatment of disease, recognizing its powerful influence on quality of life and health span. Athletic participation is linked with improved physical and mental health, as well as reduced obesity, disability, and disease. However, sports may also result in physical, psychological, social, athletic, professional, and financial repercussions.1 The international scientific community has rallied with tremendous research over the past decades to promote sustainable athletic participation and healthy active living. While tremendous efforts have been launched to engage in this challenging endeavor, a significant problem remains due to the multifactorial nature of athletic injuries. The full potential for body-mind-spirit resilience and wellness is achieved through the balance of all interdependent components, considering all possible biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors influencing each athlete to establish an individualized, holistic mindset, agility, and personalization (MAP) approach toward injury-free sports and active living.

The findings also indicate a positive relationship, indicating that students' ability to solve mathematical problems will increase with activity level.
As artimanhas da titularidade feminina: Análise a partir das histórias de vida das mulheres do Bolsa Família
Authors: Machado Camila Borges , Paiva Fernando Santana de
Published: October 2024

Este artigo objetivou evidenciar as concepções das mulheres do Bolsa Família acerca da titularidade feminina. Para tanto, quatro entrevistas semiestruturadas, baseadas no método da história de vida foram realizadas, cuja técnica de análise dos dados empregada foi do tipo temática. Dentre os resultados, identificamos que para as mulheres, a titularidade é compreendida como um avanço político importante por contribuir nas tomadas de decisão no espaço doméstico. Elas também não identificaram problemas no tocante ao cumprimento das condicionalidades, o que tencionamos tratar de ações compreendidas como da ordem “materna”. Ademais, elas pouco se compreenderam enquanto sujeitos ativos do processo de transformação da realidade, o que nos exige repensar a nossa prática profissional. Por fim, conclui-se que as artimanhas da titularidade feminina tendem a retroalimentar a fusão entre a ideologia patriarcal e o neoliberalismo, na medida em que o Estado se ausenta e transfere para as titulares-mães responsabilidades na erradicação da pobreza.

Published: October 2024

O tipo de violência mais comum nas escolas é o bullying praticado por colegas. Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar a associação entre essa forma de vitimização e outras formas de violência e comportamentos de risco. Participaram do presente estudo 510 brasileiros adultos entre 18-59 anos (M = 30,64; DP = 10,47), 77,3% do sexo feminino. Os indivíduos responderam ao MAES e a um questionário sociodemográfico. Quarenta e sete vírgula 8 por cento relataram ter sofrido bullying, sendo esta vitimização associada a maiores taxas de todos os tipos de violência intrafamiliar, menor percepção de apoio social na infância e na adolescência, uso precoce de álcool, ideação suicida e vitimização física na idade adulta. Ser vítima de bullying está relacionado a outras formas de violência e comportamentos de risco, com menor rede de apoio social possivelmente desempenhando um papel na polivitimização.
Optimisation of Beam Member Loading
Authors: Popov I. P.
Published: October 2024

Introduction. The I-beams are deemed to have the highest load-bearing capacity. However, in practice, due to wide spreading and affordability of pipe-rolling products, the tubular beams are being used quite often. The load-bearing capacity of these beams should be compared under the condition of their equal mass per running meter. An I-beam according to the GOST R 57837-2017 with the mass of running meter equal to 194 kg and a pipe according to the GOST 33228-2015 with the mass of 194 kg/m have been compared. The load-bearing capacity of an I-beam was almost twice as high as that of a tubular beam. The data about the concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) beams, including the ones with the prestressed concrete core at the bottom, is also provided. In such beams, a steel pipe works as an external reinforcement — exo-reinforcement. The load-bearing capacity of the CFST beams is quite considerable taking into account their low cost and good processability. The present research aims at increasing the load-bearing capacity of the tubular beams, which will expand the range of the construction products.

Materials and Methods. The geometric optimisation and mental experiment methods have been used. The idea of using the fluid filling material for a tubular beam is based on the well-known property of fluid — its almost complete incompressibility. The maximum volume of a geometric long body with the rectilinear generatrix of lateral surface (for a given lateral surface) is reached if its cross-section has the shape of a circle, which corresponds to a round pipe.

Results. A tubular beam with the fluid filling material (a hydraulic beam) is a round pipe blanked off at both ends, completely filled with fluid (without air pockets). When a hydraulic beam is loaded, its lateral surface tends to deform. Consequently, the internal volume of the pipe tends to decrease. However, since fluid is incompressible, its volume doesn’t decrease, which, in turn, prevents the pipe from deformation.

Discussion and Conclusion. In a hydraulic beam, due to fluid, the entire load is distributed relatively evenly over the whole internal surface of a beam. The load-bearing capacity of a hydraulic beam has been estimated, which is five times higher than that of an I-beam and ten times higher than that of a tubular beam.

The value of research as a problem of science
Authors: Petrosyan A.E.
Published: October 2024

As the criteria of value play a key role in the management of science, any mistakesand delusions related to it inevitably dilute decisions on planning of research and appraisal of its findings. The author scrutinizes the ability of both individual scientists and the scientific community as a whole to determine the value of scientific results and exposes the bounds it remains within. It is shown that scientists frequently make erroneous judgments in respect of both their own and others' works, what is conditioned in the first case by superficial understanding of the subject, insufficiently broad mental outfit, and inaptitude to establish conceptual links between different elements and areas of knowledge, to which are added, in the second case, narrow focusedness induced by the appraiser's mindset, and his personal interest. As to the scientific community as a collective subject it is bound by the conceptual horizon of the epoch, the “communalism” of science as an institute, and the social nature of valuation being made on its behalf. Due to that, while ordinary research with a minute portion of novelty is assessed quite satisfactorily, the value of pioneering and breakthrough discoveries never is acknowledged without resistance.
Economy and religion: theoretical and philosophical substantiation of labor models of behavior
Authors: Zaytsev P.L. , Ovodova S.N.
Published: October 2024

When implementing national projects and programs for the economic development of Russian regions, much attention is paid to investment in human capital. Human capital is understood as knowledge, skills, health, which allow increasing social potential. Many factors are taken into account in international and Russian programs for the development of human capital. An analysis of the programs for the economic development of Russian regions shows that the religious factor in the context of human development is taken into account only in terms of the prevention and prevention of extremist activity. The authors come to the conclusion that this situation occurs due to the lack of theoretical and philosophical justification of labor behavior models.

Psychological structuralism: Jacques Lacan's version
Authors: Kuparashvili M.J.
Published: October 2024

The most significant version of structuralism in psychoanalysis belongs to Jacques Lacan. Based on the processing of Sigmund Freud's legacy, he created an original theory of psychoanalysis and the unconscious, unfolding this topic in the space of linguistics. Using the methods of displacement and condensation in establishing the meaning of allegory, which as a rule has a purely poetic form of metaphor, metonymy, Lacan comes to the conclusion about the exceptional significance not only of language, but also of letters, on the basis of the spontaneous change of which manifestations of the true meaning of what is said oc-cur, but also asserts the exceptional significance of discourse, as some ontological given, to come out for which the individual is not given.

The verb otdykhat' in the light of idiomatization as a dynamic process of Russian speech, or how Otdykh has become part of the competition
Authors: Kolosovskaya T.L.
Published: October 2024

The problem of lexicographic description of the Russian vocabulary, includ-ing the constant "updating of the vocabulary space", always remains relevant for linguists of various fields, since language is a very mobile system. Numerous changes are constantly taking place in it, in particular, this concerns the field of lexicology. For a long time, the word-centric trend has dominated the language, so the focus has always been on the word and the features of its functioning, but now more and more attention is being paid to stable phrases, various construc-tions and the whole text. The present study examines the verb otdykhat', the figurative meaning of which is not fixed by academic explanatory dictionaries and the connotation of which, especially in the composition of stable construc-tions, can change significantly. The focus of the article is the evaluation con-struction , which is actively used in newspaper and everyday speech. In the course of the study, in addition to working with dictionaries and corpus material, a survey was conducted among 149 native speakers of the Rus-sian language, which clearly illustrates the prevalence of the new meaning of the verb otdykhat': 'not be able to compete with another object on a number of fea-tures that were not strongly pronounced in the first object until the moment of comparison'. A detailed lexicographic description of the frequency verb otdyk-hat' can be important, among other things, in applied aspects, such as translation practice and teaching Russian as a foreign language.

The obtained results of the work can be claimed by the network media in the development of alternative approaches to the presentation of media information in particular, as well as the control of the information flow in general.
Literary text in the context of the era: Italian poems of a beautiful Greek woman and other narratives of E.T.A. Hoffmann's short story "the secrets"
Authors: Misyurov N.N.
Published: October 2024

The object of research is the communicative structure of the narrative of a literary work and important for understanding and perception plot-forming and meaning-forming elements. The goals and objectives, as well as the methodology of the work, are determined by the modern (structural) theory of narration, the key concept of which is "narrative". The ideological intention of a literary work is realized in the process of interaction (writing, publishing, reading and subsequent interpretation) of the author and the reader; it does not matter whether they are contemporaries or are separated in time, in any case, as participants in social and cultural communication they find themselves in the epicenter of the tense, cognitively saturated with "meanings" discourse of the era; these constructs have a diverse nature (ideological, political, ethical, aesthetic). What is important is the context of hypertext growing as it takes root in the time continuum (this is how masterpieces are born, equally belonging to national classics and world literature). The "semantic content" of the narratives of the literary text of one of the later (ironically parodying romantic poetics) stories of E.T.A. Hoffmann is considered at the junction of linguistics, sociology of literature and literary criticism. The traditions of "trivial" literature correspond to the title of the story (the final part of the satirical diptych), the mystical atmosphere, the diversity of the characters, the theatricality of the characters of the characters and plot conflicts; combining everyday reality with the phantasmagoric illusion of "authentic being" (the writer's characteristic duality). The genre nature of the work is designated as the transformation of a curious "fable" into a kind of love novel, the "true events of the day" (the events of the Greek uprising of 1821) are relevant. The analysis of the narratives of the literary text made it possible to identify the evolution of the creative principles of the writer, their functional role (structural significance) in the organization of the narrative, the semantic load: the signs of the time "objectify" the subjective space of the romantic work.
Verbal representation of foreign language culture in artistic discourse
Authors: Tyutyunik V.V. , Khoutyz I.P.
Published: October 2024

The active development of intercultural relations in the world could not but affect the literature world and artistic discourse in particular. The article examines the current possibilities and potential of artistic discourse as a space for the transmission of a foreign language culture. We have identified the main compo nents that contribute to it: stylistic devices, foreign language inclusions, toponyms and anthroponyms. In addition, the concept of artistic discourse has been studied. To illustrate our position, the original version of the novel by American writer Donna Tartt “The Goldfinch” was considered from the poition of the representation of Russian-language culture in it. It was found that through these means, the author can recreate the generally accepted picture of the desired culture or create their own variation of this culture.

Authors: Enrique Gerard , Bruballa Eva , Suppi Remo , Wong Alvaro , Luque Emilio , Rexachs Dolores
Published: October 2024

Tools to identify problems and improve MPI applications performance running on an HPC system require information from the application and the system. In this work we will focus on defining a methodology to analyze how memory usage affects an MPI application performance running on this HPC system. This methodology will obtain valid and comparable data based on different memory access patterns that will allow defining key performance values used to characterize the HPC system behavior in front of these access patterns and to characterize the Application Signature behavior, (PAS2P Signature that obtains the representative phases of the MPI application) in front of these same access patterns. With these key performance values, we will be able to detect memory access application problems, suggest improvements and define a mapping policy for this application in this HPC system to improve its performance and to determine limits to these improvements.

Mobile apps for health surveillance: Balancing public health needs with the privacy of personal data
Authors: Elgujja Abba Amsami , Arimoro Augustine , Alshahrani Fatimah Saad , Hersi Ahmed Salah , Elgujja Aisha A. , Ezreqat Salah
Published: October 2024

The privacy of personal information is aimed at protecting human rights both under the international human rights regime and the Saudi Arabian constitution and other statutes and regulations, subject only to some exceptions that include the protection of public health. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought about certain challenges that necessitate strategies to augment the conventional surveillance of infectious diseases, contact tracing, isolation, reporting and vaccination. Several governments institutions, and agencies presently adopt mobile applications for collecting, analyzing, managing, and sharing critical personal data of individuals infected with or exposed to COVID-19. While the benefits of sharing private information for achieving public health needs may not be disputed, the risk of breach of personal privacy is enormous. This had forced the national governments into a dilemma of either succumbing to public health needs, strictly respecting and protecting the privacy of individuals, or alternatively, balancing the two conflicting demands. There is a massive body of literature on the security and privacy of such mobile applications, but none has adequately explored and discussed public interest justifications under Saudi Arabian laws for alleged privacy breaches. We examined the health surveillance mobile app technologies currently in use in Saudi Arabia with the aim of determining the potential risks of data breaches under extant data protection laws. The paper recommends, among others, that any potential risk of breach to right to privacy of personal information under the law must be (justified by) the public health needs to protect society during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Silver Nitrate: A Catalyst for Unprecedented in vitro Development of Spathiphyllum wallisii, an Important Ornamental Plant
Authors: Boudadi Imane , Lachguer Khadija , El Merzougui Soumaya , El Boullani Rachida , Lagram Khalid , Serghini Mohammed Amine
Published: October 2024

The ornamental plant Spathiphyllum wallisii is becoming increasingly popular worldwide, and tissue culture is regarded as a practical option for its massive production. Following the multiplication phase and successive subcultures for an extended period, some morphological changes in shoots were observed in Spathiphyllum explants, primarily a reduction in leaf area. For the first time, we report the application of silver nitrate to enhance Spathiphyllum shoot and root quality. The Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, with 30 g·L−1 of sucrose and 100 mg·L−1 of ascorbic acid, was supplemented with different concentrations of AgNO3. The addition of AgNO3 improved shoot development and leaf expansion by increasing their length and width. Specifically, at the 2.0–4.0 mg·L−1 range, silver nitrate successfully induced the highest leaf area (1.7 cm2), while stem elongation was promoted with the application of 3.0 mg·L−1 of AgNO3. Additionally, optimal leaf numbers of new shoots were observed at 1 mg·L−1. Furthermore, when used at an optimal concentration, AgNO3 significantly boosted rhizogenesis, increasing the number (9.2 roots), length (5.8 cm), and diameter (1 mm) of roots per explant. After the plantlets were transferred to pots, they acclimatized successfully with a 100% survival rate. This finding underscores the potential of silver nitrate to optimize the growth and rooting of Spathiphyllum shoots, paving the way for a more efficient micropropagation process.

Published: October 2024

The optimization of tissue culture protocols for blueberry propagation is crucial to meet the increasing demand for disease-free planting materials. This study aimed to determine the effects of three auxins (IBA, IAA, and NAA) at different concentrations to enhance root and shoot development of two blueberry cultivars with different abilities to root, ‘Lanmei #1’and ‘Brightwell’. Results showed that NAA at 0.5 mg·L−1 significantly promoted shoot number and length in ‘Lanmei #1’ while ‘Brightwell’ showed a limited response. IAA had a variable impact on both shoot and root parameters, with ‘Lanmei #1’ showing more pronounced positive responses. IBA showed a differential response on root and shoot parameters in both cultivars, with ‘Lanmei #1’ showing a superior response for shoot number, length, root length, and overall plant vigor. Activated carbon had minimal effect on growth parameters across both cultivars. ‘Lanmei #1’ demonstrated a robust response to auxin treatments, suggesting it is more suitable for in vitro rooting. The present results confirm previous data on the different abilities of blueberry genotypes to root and the necessity of optimizing the rooting protocol depending on the cultivar.

Published: October 2024

This work presents the conceptualization and design of throat lozenges bearing active components from olive leaf extract as a means of valorizing olive leaves. This novel product is a vegan alternative to conventional lozenges and its natural formulation avoids the adverse effects of amylmetacresol, 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol, and menthol, which are common ingredients of Strepsils® and Halls® lozenges. A reliable and straightforward methodology for the preparation of natural throat lozenges is herein described. Additionally, this product is compatible with the use of other leaf extracts, allowing the expansion and diversification of the production line. The manufacture process was simulated using Aspen Custom Modeler software and the energy required for the production of the lozenges was determined to be 0.28 kWh per kilogram of product. A preliminary economic analysis revealed that the industrial implementation of this product is viable, and the payback time was estimated at 4 years.

Published: October 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the determinants of environmental awareness among beef consumers in Brazil, focusing on the acceptance of the Carbon Neutral Beef label.
 
Theoretical Framework: The literature review covers the growing consumer concern for sustainability and animal welfare. The concept of Carbon Neutral Beef, developed by EMBRAPA, is discussed as a strategy to mitigate methane emissions in livestock production. Previous studies indicate that factors such as education, income, and environmental awareness influence consumers' willingness to pay more for sustainable beef.
 
Method: The research employed a quantitative approach, applying a survey to beef consumers in Brazil. A total of 256 completed questionnaires were analyzed, and the data were processed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The Tobit econometric model was employed to identify the determinants of consumers' environmental awareness.
 
Results and Discussion: The results show that most consumers prefer beef with sustainability attributes, influenced by income, education, and concern for the environment. The Tobit model indicated that variables such as educational level and household income are significant determinants of environmental awareness. These consumers are willing to pay more for beef that respects the environment and animal welfare.
 
Research Implications: The study provides insights for the beef industry on the importance of adopting sustainable production practices.
 
Originality/Value: The study provides insights for the beef industry on the importance of adopting sustainable production practices.
Management and Performance Analysis of Textile Effluent Treatment Plants in Laundries of The Local Productive Arrangement of Pernambuco
Authors: Pastich Elizabeth Amaral , Silva Thais Tainan Santos da , Fonseca Maria Tatiana Cavalcanti , Oliveira Simeia Elizaene Domingos de
Published: October 2024

Objective: The present study aimed to assess 10 laundries for compliance with Brazilian legislation
 
Theoretical Framework: The Local Productive Arrangement (APL) of Pernambuco plays a crucial role in job creation and economic growth in the state. However, the jeans beneficiation process consumes a significant amount of water and involves the use of various chemicals, which generate effluents with high organic loads, color, and toxicity. This has caused serious environmental problems. The issue is exacerbated during prolonged drought periods and by intermittent river flows, which reduce the natural self-purification capacity of the rivers.
 
Method: A total of 334 influent and effluent samples were collected. All the laundries studied employed physicochemical treatment processes (flocculation followed by sedimentation).
 
Results and Discussion: The WWTPs proved to be efficient in the removal of settleable solids, demonstrating that the coagulation and flocculation processes are effective for this purpose, even in scenarios with management deficiencies. On the other hand, poor operation of the treatment plants has resulted in other parameters, such as pH, oils, and greases, being out of compliance with current legislation. The efficiency in reducing BOD was highly inconsistent, with fluctuations ranging from over 90% efficiency to negative values, indicating significant operational issues. High concentrations of organic matter can compromise oxygen levels in the receiving bodies. It is essential to intensify monitoring and improve treatment processes to mitigate negative environmental impacts.
BAH! Method: proposal for a method for feasibility analysis and implementation of SDG in brazilian municipalities
Authors: Ribeiro Rossana Parizotto , Gil Espuny Ana Lígia , Burmeister Morais Hermes Andrea
Published: October 2024

Purpose: This study aims to propose a method, analyzing the feasibility and implementation of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) in Brazilian municipalities, examining the reality of each one. The central question is: what is being done to put the 2030 Agenda into practice in Brazilian municipalities?
Methodology/approach: DSR (Design Science Research) was used as a methodological basis, as it allows the creation of artifacts, which, during their development, can build theories that describe, explain and predict how reality is defined, in general. In this case, the objective of the method is to analyze local characteristics, verifying the practical implementation of the SDGs in Brazilian municipalities.
Originality/Relevance: this research resulted in Bah! Method, also developing Bah Seal! which plays an effective indicator role, with the aim of improving the present situation and future performance, creating a pioneering certification method/system.
Key findings: It is concluded that there is a lack of implementation of the SDGs in Brazilian municipalities, thus creating the method called BAH, an acronym that means Environmental and Humanized Benefit (in Portuguese), once the implementation of the SDGs generates benefits for the environment and for people, aligning and proposing public policies to municipalities.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: This study intended to contribute academically to the development of DSR in management, demonstrating its importance in helping to solve problems through artifacts, as in the managerial area and other applied social sciences encouraging the development of strategies to collaborate in the Agenda 2030 process.

Authors: Dantas Ítalo José de Medeiros , Curth Marcelo
Published: October 2024

Purpose: To compare, propose, and discuss the implications of five machine learning algorithms for predicting Slow fashion consumer profiles.
Methodology/approach: We use the Python programming language to build the models with scikit-learn libraries. We tested the potential of five algorithms to correct classifier Slow fashion consumers: I) extremely randomized trees, II) random forest, III) support vector machine, IV) gradient boosting Tree, and V) naïve bayes.
Originality/Relevance: This paper's originality lies in its combination of sustainability concerns, consumer behavior analysis, and machine learning techniques. It addresses a critical issue in the fashion industry and offers practical implications that can be beneficial for companies seeking to align their practices with Slow fashion principles. This interdisciplinary approach makes it a relevant contribution to both academia and industry. 
Key findings: The performance metrics revealed satisfactory values for all algorithms. Nevertheless, the support vector machine presents a better precision (96%) on the dataset for Slow fashion consumer profiling, while random forest performs the worst (87%).
Theoretical/methodological contributions: We understood that the model can be helpful for companies that wish to adopt more targeted and practical approaches in the context of Slow fashion, allowing them to make more informed and strategic decisions. Therefore, these insights can guide future research in optimizing machine learning applications for consumer behavior analysis and provide valuable guidance for fashion marketers seeking to enhance their targeting and engagement strategies.
