O objetivo deste artigo é examinar as alterações implementadas pela Reforma Trabalhista de 2017 no Brasil com ênfase na dinâmica dos acordos coletivos de trabalho. Através de uma revisão bibliográfica, iremos abordar a evolução histórica do mercado de trabalho e as mudanças nas relações laborais, salientando os pontos-chave que influenciaram o ambiente legislativo vigente. Houve mudanças significativas na legislação trabalhista com a Reformulação da CLT (Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho), como a valorização da autonomia coletiva e a priorização de acordos em relação a convenções em determinados pontos específicos. O estudo aborda também as implicações legais e sociais desse movimento ao avaliar as vantagens e desvantagens para as partes envolvidas no processo de mudança em questão A prevalência do acordo coletivo em relação à convenção coletiva representa um avanço na descentralização das negociações trabalhistas; no entanto, também levanta discussões sobre possíveis impactos negativos nos direitos dos trabalhadores. O relatório conclui que, embora as alterações busquem modernizar as relações de trabalho, é crucial equilibrar a flexibilidade com a proteção dos direitos fundamentais dos empregados.
Towards a quantitative lithostratigraphy of Pleistocene glaciofluvial deposits in the southern Upper Rhine Graben
Authors: Gegg Lukas , Griebling Felicitas A. , Jentz Nicole , Wielandt-Schuster Ulrike
Published: December 2024

Abstract. The sediment fills of large terrestrial basins offer an opportunity to study and reconstruct regional-scale landscape history over time. An example of such a basin is the Upper Rhine Graben in central Europe, whose proximal, southern part has so far only sporadically been investigated sedimentologically. Three new drillings in close proximity have recovered the upper ∼ 40–60 m of the Quaternary sedimentary infill near the eastern graben margin north of Freiburg, Germany. Grain sizes, the rounding and shape of clasts, and the petrographic composition of the deposits have been determined and statistically analysed. The cored intervals consist of glaciofluvial gravels derived from and deposited by the Rhine system. While no consistent trends of the morphometric properties could be found, we succeeded in distinguishing two subunits within the topmost stratigraphic unit (Neuenburg Formation, Fm) based on compositional (i.e. gravel petrographic) data. An upper subunit (Hartheim Subformation, Sfm) enriched in lithologies representative of the Alpine orogen could be separated from a lower subunit (Nambsheim Sfm) that is enriched in lithologies of an outer-Alpine origin. We correlate these findings with a shift in the pattern of meltwater discharge from the Rhine glacier lobe that may have delivered more Alpine material into the study region during the last than during the penultimate glaciation and highlight the value of quantitative approaches and appropriate statistical evaluation for gravel petrographic studies.
The Impact of Ice Structures and Ocean Warming in Milne Fiord

Published: December 2024

Abstract. Arctic tidewater glaciers and ice shelves are undergoing rapid attrition, with warmer ocean temperature playing an important role. However, the relationship between ocean temperature and ice structure retreat is complex and may change as the ocean warms and as the ice structure geometry evolves. In order to explore ice-ocean interactions and the impact of retreating ice structures in a glacial fjord, we use a numerical ocean model of Milne Fiord, which features an ice shelf and a tidewater glacier with a floating glacier tongue (part of which is detached). We model past, present and potential future ice configurations. Our results reveal that the average submarine melting is negligible across the ice shelf (<2 cm a-1), but can dominate thinning rates (>20 cm a -1) at specific locations where the ice is thick (>50 m) along the seaward edge. Our simulations also indicate that the temperature of water reaching the grounding line does not vary significantly when the ice shelf and glacier tongue are removed. In addition, we carry out a series of simulations with increasing ocean temperature which reveal a quasi-linear relationship between ocean temperature and submarine melting at the grounding line. Using this relationship and ocean temperature predictions for different greenhouse gas emission scenarios (2020 to 2100), we estimate that Milne Glacier will continue to retreat for at least 50 years, solely in response to ocean forcing. This study highlights the ongoing and future retreat of ice structures in a region considered as the Last Ice Area.
Nitrate reduction in groundwater as an overlooked source of agricultural CO2 emissions
Authors: Kim Hyojin , Koch Julian , Hansen Birgitte , Jakobsen Rasmus
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Nitrate pollution from agriculture poses a global environmental and public health threat. Nitrate levels in water can be reduced through denitrification, which increases dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) via organic carbon mineralization and/or carbonate dissolution. This DIC potentially acts as a net anthropogenic source to atmospheric CO2; however, its overall impact remains unclear. This study quantified CO2 production from denitrification in Denmark, utilizing extensive observational datasets and national-scale modelling tools. We identified dominant denitrification processes in groundwater and predicted a national process map. Our results indicate that hydrogeology plays a central role in determining the dominant processes. CO2 production from denitrification in groundwater varied spatially, depending on nitrogen leaching and the denitrification processes. We estimated that denitrification in groundwater produces about 204 kt of CO2-eq. yr-1 as DIC, and ~50 % would be emitted to atmosphere. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines account CO2 emissions related to agriculture from liming, urea, and other C-containing fertilizers, and these were 250, 1 and 4 kt of CO2-eq. yr-1, respectively, for Denmark in 2020. Although CO2 is a minor agricultural GHG emission (2 % of the total), our findings suggest that the agricultural GHG inventories should include denitrification-related CO2 emissions.

Masyarakat menjadikan AI sebagai alat untuk menciptakan sebuah karya seni. Hasil karya seni ciptaan AI memungkinkan penggunanya untuk mendapatkan lukisan atau gambar baru. Caranya, AI mengambil referensi dari berbagai gambar atau refernsi di internet kemudian menyimpulkannya sesuai dengan perintah khusus dari pengguna. Maraknya penggunaan AI untuk penciptaan seni membuat keambiguan di masyarakat mengenai boleh atau tidaknya penggunaan AI untuk seni hingga pertanggungjawaban hak cipta seniman yang memanfaatkan AI untuk dikomersialisasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Berdasarkan pengaturan yang ada, seperti yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang No. 28 Tahun 2014 tentang Hak Cipta, menempatkan penggunaan AI dalam konteks karya seni posisi terbatas. Pengguna AI sering dihadapkan kendala yang menghalangi mereka mengkomersialisasikan hasil karya yang dihasilkan AI. Kondisi ini memunculkan tantangan bagi seniman, kreator dan pengembang teknologi yang ingin mengeksplorasi potensi AI dalam menghasilkan karya seni. Pemaknaan AI dalam perundang-undangan hanya dipandang sebagai alat. Hal ini mengakibatkan pengguna tidak leluasa memanfaatkan karya seni yang dihasilkan AI karena dibatasi oleh aspek hak cipta karya. Berdasarkan Pasal 4 Ayat (1) UUHC hak cipta dimaknai hanya kepada mereka yang mempunyai kemampuan dalam mengembangkan AI, dimana pemegang hak cipta bertanggung jawab penuh terlibat dalam pelanggaran hak cipta pihak lain. Hal tersebut diatur untuk menjaga keseimbangan antara kepentingan pencipta dan pengguna karya. Sehingga, pentingnya pembaruan regulasi hukum agar mengakomodasi perkembangan teknologi untuk memberikan ruang dan mampu melindungi hak cipta dari berbagai pihak yang terlibat.

Me centraré en las cuestiones laborales y de promoción en la carrera académica del Personal Docente e Investigador (PDI) a tiempo completo. Para este análisis partiré de los recientes estudios e informes que desde diferentes ministerios e instituciones se han publicado con datos actualizados a los años 2020 a 2023. En este análisis propondré un marco conceptual feminista desde el que abordar las barreras que mantienen la desigualdad. Se trata del marco que parte de los conceptos de patriarcado académico y de capitalismo académico. La aportación será una reflexión que desde las demandas feministas explique una ruta de salida de ese patriarcado académico.
Agathocles' Self-Representation as a Counterpart to Alexander in Syracusan Coinage: Doriktetos Chora, Athena, Artemis and Heracles
Authors: Vitale Marco
Published: December 2024

Do self-proclaimed royal successors, so-called "Diadochi", of Alexander the Great appear exclusively in the mammoth empires he left behind? Egypt, Asia Minor, Babylonia, Macedonia, Greece? Just people like Ptolemy, Seleucus, Lysimachus, Cassander, Demetrius? No. At least in terms of power staging and according to historical narratives of the Hellenistic and Roman periods, regular Diadochi and emulators of Alexander can even be identified in far-off Sicily. In particular, the first official king of Syracuse and contemporary of Alexander, Agathocles, adopted significant elements of Alexander's ancient Oriental-Macedonian self-portrayal and hybridised them with the local Sicilian pictorial tradition to create interesting and original new creations, which we will examine on the basis of Syracusan coins and ancient literature.
The small towns of Sicily in the transition from Republic to Principate
Authors: Pfuntner Laura
Published: December 2024

This paper revisits longstanding debates surrounding the transition from Republic to Principate in Sicily, considering new archaeological and epigraphic evidence emerging from the island's smaller urban centres. While the handful of coastal cities that became colonies in the Augustan period or later have long dominated accounts of Sicily's urban development under the Principate, research on a number of smaller, more "peripheral" centres is enabling a more detailed and nuanced understanding of how urban communities (and their ruling classes) weathered the events of the final decades of the Republic and the transition to the new political order established by Augustus. The picture emerging, albeit very tentatively, is of communities of reduced means that were still intent on establishing and commemorating their place in Augustus' new imperial order. Moreover, local elites particularly from Sicily's new municipia were not indifferent to the opportunities for advancement within and beyond their home communities that opened up during the reign of Augustus and his successors. Therefore, although Sicily's experience of the transition from Republic to Principate was still unique in many respects, it was less of an outlier from Italy and other western provinces than usually thought.
Los discursos étnicos locales en la Iberia del s. I a.C. Reformulaciones en contexto
Authors: García Cardiel Jorge
Published: December 2024

El presente artículo intenta explorar el mosaico de discursos étnicos que los aristócratas y las comunidades locales iberas bosquejaron y difundieron a lo largo del siglo I a.C. En un contexto claramente mediatizado por las estructuras provinciales de época tardorrepublicana, los distintos agentes implicados reformularon sus memorias e identidades para adaptarlas a la nueva coyuntura vigente, generando discursos híbridos propios de un middle ground colonial que suponen un desafío para ciertos postulados historiográficos tradicionales como la dicotomía entre “romanos” e “indígenas” o el carácter progresivo y unidireccional de la Romanización.
Circolazione e uso della moneta nella Sicilia centro-occidentale durante l’età romano-repubblicana: i dati dei contesti
Authors: Sole Lavinia
Published: December 2024

Il contributo analizza i rinvenimenti monetali in contesto dalla Sicilia centrooccidentale, relativi al periodo compreso tra la metà del III sec. a.C. e la fine dell’età repubblicana, quindi dal consolidamento del potere di Roma in Sicilia, dopo la prima guerra punica, fino alla conclusione delle guerre civili. La ricognizione analitica interesserà anche i ripostigli, pur nella consapevolezza che essi raramente provengono da scavi regolari, ma rappresentano un osservatorio privilegiato per esaminare la combinazione delle serie monetali all’interno di ciascun complesso. Le informazioni desunte dall’analisi comparata dei rinvenimenti monetali singoli e dei ripostigli potranno suggerire utili elementi interpretativi circa gli usi della moneta da parte delle comunità locali dopo l’occupazione di Roma e circa la risposta economica di Roma al numerario e al sistema di peso incontrati in Sicilia.

Synergizing Socioeconomic, Technological, and Environmental Factors Influencing the Adoption of High-Efficiency Irrigation Systems (HEIS): Insights from Highland Balochistan, Pakistan
Authors: Ullah Ameen , Ullah Raza , Khair Syed Mohammad , Ali Asghar , Samie Abdus
Published: December 2024

Water plays a crucial role in sustaining human life and facilitating global economic development. Balochistan, the largest province of Pakistan, faces severe water scarcity primarily because of the unregulated extraction of groundwater aquifers. The scarcity of water resources can be effectively addressed by increasing Water Use Efficiency (WUE) achievable through the adoption of High-Efficienscy Irrigation Systems (HEIS). Despite substantial efforts by both public and private sectors, the adoption rate of efficient techniques remains notably low. Evaluating the factors influencing the adoption of high-efficiency irrigation methods and their resultant impact on water use efficiency is the need of time. In this study, an effort was made to study HEIS and its characteristics including the factors affecting the adoption decision, operation duration, and the economics of HEIS. The present study focused, on three main river basins using a multistage sampling technique in highland Balochistan. Three key basins namely Nari River Basin (NRB), Zhob River Basin (ZRB), and Pishin Lora Basin (PLB) Out of 18 basins in Balochistan were selected purposively. These basins are currently dealing with the issue of depleted groundwater table at a rate of more than 5-15 feet annually in the majority of their aquifers. A representative sample size of 300 farmers was chosen using a proportionate stratified sampling technique. Logistic regression was employed to analyze the data and the study findings revealed that the availability of off-farm income and higher education level were found to have highly significant and positive relationships with the likelihood of adoption. Farmers' age and the level of water scarcity were additional significant factors. Along with them, installation costs, maintenance expenses, and technological complexity were key barriers to HEIS adoption. To increase farmers' willingness to accept technology in highland Balochistan, organizations should undertake extension and educational training to increase knowledge and awareness of HEIS.

A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR ANALYZING SWINE FLU OUTBREAKS IN THE PRESENCE OF VACCINATION
Authors: YADAV SATYENDRA SINGH , SINGH BED PRAKASH
Published: December 2024

The development and evaluation of efficient vaccination techniques are crucial in light of the reoccurring hazards posed by Swine flu (H1N1). This paper offers a novel compartmental mathematical model, abbreviated as SEIQVR, to completely investigate Swine flu transmission dynamics considering both vaccination interventions. By separating the population into those who are Vulnerable (S), Exposed (E), Infected (I), Quarantined (Q), Vaccinated (V), and Recovered (R), the model can accurately simulate the intricate dynamics of Swine Flu pandemics. The relationship between vaccination tactics and the spread of disease is studied by factoring in variables such as the prevalence of the disease, the vaccination rate, the rate at which immunity declines, and the length of time spent in quarantine. The findings of this research have important implications for the development and implementation of effective immunization programs to prevent further Swine Flu epidemics. Decisions on resource allocation, vaccination campaign planning, and general pandemic preparedness can all be informed by a deeper comprehension of the complex dynamics of SEIQVR. This mathematical model contributes to the arsenal of tools accessible to epidemiologists and policymakers, supporting the creation of preventative measures to defend world health against Swine flu and comparable infectious dangers.

EVALUATION OF AFLATOXIN B1 CONTAMINATION IN CLUSTER BEAN (CYAMOPSIS TETRAGONOLOBA L.) SEEDS BY HPLC: FIELD AND STORAGE PERSPECTIVES
Authors: YADAV ARCHANA , CHAUHAN B.P.S.
Published: December 2024

Agricultural goods, such as cluster bean seeds, are greatly endangered due to the prevalence of moulds and mycotoxins. Using field and storage conditions as points of focus, this study follows the life cycle of moulds and mycotoxin contamination in cluster bean seeds. An in-depth investigation of the many elements impacting contamination risk is undertaken in order to provide light on efficient management approaches. To track the development of mould and mycotoxin levels, field surveys were carried out at various points in the cluster bean's life cycle. Furthermore, samples were taken both after harvest and throughout storage in order to determine how long the contamination lasted and whether it could have been amplified. To learn how different storage conditions, agricultural techniques, and environmental factors affected mould growth and mycotoxin generation, we conducted an evaluation. Moulds are common in cluster bean fields, according to the results, and the species composition varies by region and climate. It was also discovered that mycotoxin levels varied during the growth season, sometimes reaching dangerously high levels. Improper storage conditions amplified contamination risks, and post-harvest handling and storage techniques were also critical. In order to develop effective mitigation methods, it is crucial to understand the factors that contribute to the contamination of cluster bean seeds with mould and mycotoxins. To minimise contamination concerns, it is vital to implement integrated approaches that include sound farming practices, proper post-harvest management, and optimised storage conditions. To further stop the spread of infected seeds, it is advised to implement early detection methods and monitoring systems to pinpoint areas of contamination. In order to reduce the possibility of mould and mycotoxin contamination in cluster bean seeds, this study stresses the significance of taking a comprehensive approach that takes field and storage conditions into account. Seed quality, food safety, and public health can all be improved if stakeholders work to eliminate the main causes of contamination.

PERISTALTIC MOTION OF POWER LAW FLUIDS IN A TUBE WITHMULTI-SINUSOIDAL WAVEFORM
Authors: SINGH Prof. UDAY RAJ , SHANKER UMA
Published: December 2024

The occurrence of many sinusoidal waves with independent amplitudes, phases, and frequencies defines a multi-sinusoidal waveform. The aforementioned waveform defines the tube's shape as it undergoes cyclic compression and expansion within the context of peristaltic motion. It is the tube's shape and properties, such as the amplitude and frequency of the sinusoidal waves that will determine the magnitude and direction of the fluid flow. Various waveforms can cause a variety of different circulation patterns. This work provides a mathematical analysis of the power law model for describing the peristaltic motion of non-Newtonian fluids. Multi-sinusoidal waveforms are investigated, with the amplitude changing with axial displacement, and applied to the flow of these fluids via a tube. By employing the long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations, the governing equations can be simplified. It is shown how to derive the equations for the axial velocity, the flux, the mean volume flow rate, the pressure gradient, and the friction force against the wall. Using MATLAB, we analyze the computational and numerical results of the previously defined flow characteristics for several indices of fluid behaviour. Intestinal flow dynamics, namely the movement of chyme from the small to the large intestine, can be studied using the present model. Biomimetic pump simulations for the transportation of toxic compounds, polymers, and other related substances are also of great importance.

A corrida tem se popularizado nos últimos anos, trazendo diversos benefícios para seus praticantes. No entanto, indivíduos que praticam exercícios físicos regularmente tendem a adotar hábitos alimentares mais saudáveis, mas também são considerados mais vulneráveis ao desenvolvimento de transtornos alimentares. Nesse contexto, a ortorexia nervosa, caracterizada pela obsessão por uma alimentação saudável, embora ainda não seja classificada como um transtorno alimentar, está associada a comportamentos alimentares disfuncionais e patológicos. Diante disso, esse estudo objetivou avaliar o comportamento de risco para ortorexia em corredores recreacionais do município de Barreiras - BA. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com 46 corredores, entre 20 a 59 anos, de ambos os sexos e que praticavam corrida há mais de um ano. Foram avaliadas variáveis antropométricas, sociodemográficas, nutricionais e dados sobre a prática de corrida, bem como aplicado o recordatório alimentar de 24h e o questionário ORTO-15, utilizando o ponto de corte <40. Os resultados mostraram que 89,1% dos participantes apresentaram comportamento de risco para a ortorexia. Esse comportamento de risco foi associado ao nível socioeconômico e à ocorrência de lesões relacionadas à corrida. Além disso, observou-se uma correlação inversa entre a pontuação do ORTO-15 e o consumo de carboidratos, bem como o número de porções de frutas, e uma correlação direta com o consumo de lipídios. Conclui-se que a população estudada apresentou um número significativo de indivíduos em risco de desenvolver ortorexia, destacando a necessidade de mais estudos sobre a relação desse comportamento com a alimentação em corredores.

Published: December 2024

This paper is an examination of how understanding and application of the text in Matthew 20:1-16 will facilitate Workers’ Welfare and Economic Management in the African Context. This paper attempts to establish that the welfare of workers’ need to be implemented as a priority for development of Economic Management in the African Context. It could be deduced from the ongoing dialogue about increase in minimum wage, nonpayment of salaries and allowances because some employers periodically struggle and wrestle with the task of paying their workers’ as at when due for every cadre. The paper expounds the purpose of regular enlightenment and education for the growth of Economic Management in the African Context. The paper points out that an interview, agreement and orientation for workers should be conducted and be emphasized before the assumption to an office. The paper establishes further that money to be paid to every cadre of staff ought to be settled during the interview. The paper presents that job creation should be the priority of any tier of government and private organizations with a policy to guide economic management. Conversely, the paper elucidates in brief the exegetical work of Matthew 20:1-16 in the light of Workers’ Welfare and Economic Management in the African Context. The paper also presents some procedures and processes of enlisting potential workers, which can help any sector in their recruitment strategies and processes. The work also examines the implications of the exegetical work of Matthew 20:1–16 to workers’ welfare in the African Context. Therefore, the rationale of this paper is to examine the text in the light of Workers’ Welfare and Economic Management in the African Context.

Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is a life-threatening condition that primarily affects geriatric patients, with obesity serving as a major risk factor. Several studies have also reported the role of obesity as a risk factor for other chronic non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of Picriafel-terrae Merr (PF) leaf extract on rat-induced obesity and BPH. The sample population comprised male Wistar rats, which were randomly divided into 5 different groups. Group 1 (G1) served as the normal, Group 2 (G2) was the negative control consisting of obese rats with BPH and treated with PF extract, while Group 3 (G3) was the positive control administered 1 mg/kg BW finasteride. In addition, Groups 4 (G4) and 5 (G5) were administered PF extract at varying doses of 100 mg/kg BW and 200 mg/kg BW, respectively. During the experiment, the test rats received subcutaneous injections of 10 mg/kg BW testosterone for 4 weeks, followed by a high-fat diet for 12 weeks and oral administration of PF extract for 10 days. The prostate index was then calculated and examined histopathologically, followed by ELISA for the detection of interleukin-6 and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). The results showed a statistically significant increase in interleukin-6 levels (p=0.024), prostate index scores (p<0.001), and histopathological examination of the prostate epithelial and stromal cells (p<0.001). However, VEGF levels were not affected by the administration of PF extract (p=0.274). Based on these results, PF extract could reduce the prostate index markers and prostate histopathology in obese Wistar rats with BPH.
