Authors: Djug Haris , Hasukic Sefik , Jagodic Samed , Ivanic Davor
Published: December 2023

Background: The treatment strategy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has not changed significantly over the past 30 years. Chemotherapeutic agents (mitomycin-C, epirubicin, etc.) and BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin) immunotherapy are used as adjuvant intravesical therapy. Objective: To compare the difference between adjuvant chemotherapy and adjuvant immunotherapy in their efficacy of reducing the number of tumor recurrences. Methods: In this prospective clinical study, which included 99 patients with NMIBC from March 2018.–March 2023., we publish the results for all risk groups of patients treated with intravesical chemotherapy Epirubicin or with BCG immunotherapy, after TURBT (Trans urethral resection of bladder tumor) within 1 year. Patients were stratified into 2 groups. The first group was treated with Epirubicin (1 dose within 24 hours of surgery, then 6 weekly instillations and 3 maintenance doses), and the second group was treated with BCG (2-3 weeks after TURBT 6 weekly instillations, and 3 maintenance doses). The monitoring period was 24 months. Results: In patients treated with intravesical chemotherapy, recurrence occurred in 9 patients (17.64%), and in patients treated with BCG, recurrence occurred in 7 patients (14.58%). A similar incidence of disease recurrence was observed in both groups (p=0.787). Conclusion: The results of our study show a similar therapeutic response by risk groups of patients treated with chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Since BCG production will cease in the future, the task of urologists is to introduce intravesical chemotherapy into wider use and to modernize it as a safe and effective method of adjuvant treatment for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Published: December 2023

Background: Posterior traumatic urethral strictures due to PFUI have a wide variety of complication, such as erectile dysfunction, incontinence, bulbar urethral necrosis, and fistula. Bulbar urethral necrosis caused by inadequate blood supply for bulbar urethra, fistula developed by many surgical attempts done by inexperience surgeon worsen the patient’s condition, low vascular capability manifested as erectile dysfunction as well, and long term catheterization causes contracted bladder. This condition deteriorates the function and quality of life. Therefore this is very challenging condition to treat. Case Presentation Thirty-years-old man presented with the chief complaint of urine leakage from rectum and cutaneous fistula since 9 years ago. Patient also come with complex PFUI, iatrogenic bulbar urethral necrosis, erectile dysfunction with EHS score of 1, contracted bladder, and prostatorectal fistula. Patient underwent eight various surgical procedures including open surgery and internal urethrotomy previously. We performed cystoprostatectomy and fistula repair transabdominally. Continent cutaneous stoma ileal neobladder with Mansoura approach was performed afterwards. Patient was counselled and educated on how to do clean intermittent self-catheterization, patient was fully satisfied with his bladder function which increase quality of life. Conclusion: In this case of BUN with contracted bladder and prostatorectal fistula, continent cutaneous stoma is an option to improve patient’s quality of life. PFUI could be treated with high success rate if treated properly from the beginning, more intervention by inexperience surgeon could deteriorate success rate and also quality of life.
The Transport System of MOF Olsztyn in the Light of Sustainable Development Policy
Authors: Ejdys Stanisław
Published: December 2023

Transport policy has always presented many dilemmas. Currently, its pro-ecological aspect, relating to the need to limit the negative impact of transport on the natural environment, causes the need to reconsider many issues related to the sustainable development of transport. The new approach should optimize activities in the areas of respect for the environment, technical progress and economic growth. According to the European Commission, this concept is gaining fuller understanding at the level of political discourse and, at the same time, becoming a horizontal principle – the foundation of EU transport policy. However, this requires the responsible creation of transport policy and its consistent and effective implementation. Therefore, it has become the subject of consideration at the Olsztyn Functional Urban Area level. The study aims to identify documents declared as transport policies or strategies and evaluate them in the context of formal authorization, content, coherence and applicability in the Olsztyn MOF.

Вихід адміністративного суду за межі позовних вимог: питання обов’язковості та меж повноважень
Authors: Білий І. М.
Published: December 2023

Дослідивши питання, що стосуються меж повноважень адміністративного суду щодо виходу за межі позовних вимог, автор дійшов висновку, що у світлі природи та мети адміністративного судочинства, яка пріоритезує ефективний захист прав та інтересів від порушень з боку суб’єктів владних повноважень перед будь-якими іншими цілями, а також з урахуванням принципу офіційного з’ясування всіх обставин у справі, який вимагає від адміністративного суду вжиття всіх процесуальних заходів для досягнення цієї мети, адміністративний суд має бути зобов’язаний виходити за межі позовних вимог, якщо це необхідно для ефективного захисту прав та інтересів приватних осіб у сфері публічно-правових відносин від порушень з боку суб’єктів владних повноважень. Обґрунтовується, що межі повноважень адміністративного суду щодо виходу за межі позовних вимог не обмежуються ані предметом та підставами позову, ані позовними вимогами, а лише визначеними позивачем правами, за захистом яких він звернувся до адміністративного суду, метою звернення за судовим захистом та змістом спірних правовідносин. Наголошено на тому, що лише ці аспекти можуть охоплюватись процесуальною прерогативою позивача у адміністративному судочинстві за умови гарантування того, що будь-яке втручання адміністративного суду у предмет та підстави позову, а також позовні вимоги спрямоване на якомога більш ефективний захист його прав та досягнення оптимального з його точки зору кінцевого результату, не допускаючи при цьому погіршення його становища, порівняно з тим, яке було до звернення з адміністративним позовом.

Published: December 2023

Food is an essential aspect of human existence, and individuals are constantly exploring new and delectable dishes. Often, people choose food items from grocery stores without knowing their names or recognizing them immediately. Therefore, it is crucial to comprehend the elements that can be combined to create delightful recipes. Selecting the appropriate recipe from alist of ingredients poses a significant challenge for both novice and expert chefs. Machine learning plays a prominent role in our daily lives, such as in object recognition through image processing. However, traditional methods employed in this process, which involve numerous food items, present a higher risk of error. To address these challenges, we developed a model that identifies food ingredients and formulated an algorithm to recommend recipes based on the identified ingredients. Our research involved constructing a unique dataset comprising 9,856 photos, categorized into 32 types of food items. We utilized a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for food item recognition and employed machine learning techniques to generate recipes. Our approach achieved an impressive accuracy rate of 94 percent, which holds significant practical value. Keywords: food ingredients, recipe recommendation, machine learning, deep learning, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), object recognition, image processing.

Authors: Morse Timothy E. , Nguyen Giang-Nguyen T.
Published: December 2023

This manuscript reports the results of an investigation of the simultaneous prompting procedure to teach a five-step algorithm for solving three addition basic facts. Four preschool students receiving Tier 1 services in their school’s multi-tier system of supports (MTSS) framework participated. A multiple probe across participants single case design was employed, and a visual analysis of the data indicate a functional relationship between the independent and dependent variable. Three of the participants achieved the mastery criterion and maintained the targeted learning outcome for 2–6 weeks. These participants applied the five-step algorithm to three sets of novel addition facts and acquired incidental information consisting of mathematics terminology. The fourth participant voluntarily discontinued her involvement in the study but, prior to her withdrawal, her data were similar to that of the other three participants. Social validity data from the participants’ teachers confirmed their satisfaction with the study’s procedures and participants’ learning outcomes. The results extend those from related research and validate simultaneous prompting’s effectiveness in teaching mathematics to students receiving Tier 1 and Tier 3 services in an MTSS framework. Topics for future research are discussed, and include investigating the effectiveness of simultaneous prompting to teach mathematics across students receiving services through all MTSS tiers.

Academic procrastination generates several problems and negative consequences both individually and collectively: low student performance, increased stress, negative effects on physical and mental health, and general waste of resources. Therefore, it demands to be studied and understood in its different forms, so that mitigating mechanisms can be developed. The current work seeks to analyse the phenomenon of academic procrastination within postgraduate students registered for the Management Postgraduate Program in a Brazilian Federal University, in order to identify strategies, techniques and tools utilised by the students to overcome procrastination as well as its relation with the concepts of self-regulation and self-efficacy. The current research is descriptive with a qualitative nature, adopting a phenomenological approach through thematic analysis in order to bring to light the experiences and perceptions of individuals from their own perspectives, challenging structural or normative assumptions. In total, 24 students, 12 from the master’s degree program and 12 from the doctorate program in Management were interviewed. As a result, it was noticed that there are some overall inferences that can be taken from the narratives, outlining the phenomenon of academic procrastination and its relations with the concepts of self-regulation and self-efficacy, which led to reinforce the notion that the central elements to understand and specifically combat procrastination are related to the concepts of self-efficacy and self-regulation, which have a considerable influence on students’ motivation, behaviour and habits. The research has also pointed to some key strategies, techniques and tools that can be utilised to support further applied research as well as to guide the faculty in supporting the students to overcome or mitigate the procrastination impulse, such as use of goal orientation, visual tools, and academic support starting with undergraduate degrees. The work has an original contribution as no research has been made on that topic utilising qualitative data through a phenomenological approach, which opens a vast and new path for future research.

Što je potrebno za snažnije regrutiranje radnika u šumarstvu
Authors: Šporčić Mario , Landekić Matija , Bakarić Matija , Mijoč David
Published: December 2023

Šumarski se sektor danas naglašeno suočava s problemom nedostatka šumskih radnika te velikim izazovom osiguranja kvalificirane, visokoučinkovite i stabilne održive radne snage. U ovom se radu, na osnovi ispitivanja provedenih u Federaciji Bosne i Hercegovine (FBiH), prikazuju stajališta o tome što je potrebno za snažnije regrutiranje radnika u šumarstvu. Provedena ispitivanja obuhvatila su tri skupine ispitanika: šumske radnike zaposlene u javnim i privatnim šumarskim poduzećima, šumarske stručnjake zaposlene u praksi (šumarskim poduzećima) te predstavnike različitih tijela državne šumarske uprave i ostalih šumarskih institucija, udruga i sl. Rezultati istraživanja, uz stajališta o nedostatku radnika, njihova privlačenja u šumarstvo i položaja u društvu, uključuju i procjenu značenja pojedinih čimbenika za uspješnije regrutiranje nedostatne šumarske radne snage, odnosno povećanje atraktivnosti zapošljavanja u šumarskom sektoru i djelatnosti pridobivanja drva. Utvrđeno je da većina ispitanika smatra da je problem nedostatka radne snage već duže vrijeme naglašeno prisutan u šumarstvu FBiH (40,2 %), odnosno da taj problem postoji s jasnom tendencijom pogoršanja stanja (53,6 %). Glavnim razlogom odabira profesije šumskih radnika većina ispitanika navodi nemogućnost pronalaženje drugoga posla (41,8 %), a za time slijedi obiteljska tradicija rada u šumarstvu i »nasljeđivanje« posla od oca ili člana obitelji (32,6 %). Ispitanici su također ocijenili da u društvu prevladava negativna percepcija radnoga mjesta šumskih radnika i da okolina njihovo zanimanje doživljava kao manje vrijedan posao. Najvažnijim čimbenicima za snažnije regrutiranje radnika u šumarstvu označeni su: stabilnost posla i redovitost primanja, veće redovite plaće i zajamčeno povećanje s godinama radnoga staža, socijalna prava radnika i radni uvjeti, beneficirani radni staž te konkurentna početna plaća. Svrha se rada sastoji u potrebnoj senzibilizaciji struke i javnosti na pitanja radne snage u šumarstvu, njezina položaja i statusa te u pružanju podloga koje mogu biti važan doprinos privlačenju radnika i povećanju interesa za šumski rad, odnosno ukupnomu unapređenju stanja i održivosti radne snage u šumarstvu.

Authors: Momand Muska , Hairan Mohammad Haroon
Published: December 2023

The use of L1 in EFL classes has been an ongoing debate for many years since language educators use L1 in EFL classes for different reasons. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the reasons for Afghan teachers' L1 use in EFL classes at Balkh University. Semi-structured interview was conducted with a sample of 5 EFL educators with 10-15 years of teaching experience from the English Department of Balkh University. The sample for the study was chosen purposively due to proximity, easy accessibility and availability of the participants. Content analysis was employed for the analysis of the obtained data from the study based on the emergent themes. The result shows that Afghan EFL teachers at Balkh University use L1 in their classes for different purposes, namely, as a pedagogical tool for clarification, as a tool for establishing rapport, as a discipline and class management tool, based on curriculum and syllabus demand and as per need of students’ level of language proficiency.
Lázcsillapítás régen és most: a velünk élő múlt
Authors: Simon János
Published: December 2023

Célkitűzés: A szerző megkísérli bemutatni a laikus szülők lázzal kapcsolatos ismereteit és attitűdjét a lázcsillapítással kapcsolatos aktuális szakmai ajánlásokkal kapcsolatban; felmérni, változott-e azon szülők megítélése, akik gyermekük lázát önállóan kezelik. E pillanatkép kontextusba helyezése érdekében pedig összefoglalja, milyen változáson ment keresztül a láz megítélése a történelem folyamán, napjainkig. A vizsgálat módszere: A keresztmetszeti vizsgálatra 2022. november 12. és 2022. december 24. között került sor egy saját szerkesztésű online kérdőívvel nem egészségügyi végzettségű szülők körében. Eredmények: A laikus szülők többsége az alapfogalmakkal sincs tisztában. Amennyiben nem saját lázukat, hanem gyermekükét kell menedzselniük, sokkal hamarabb kezdenek el lázat csillapítani. A megkérdezettek 58%-a a gyógyszeres lázcsillapítást kiegészíti fizikai módszerekkel (borogatás, hűtőfürdő) is. Számos tévhit él ma is a lázzal kapcsolatban. Megjelent a szülők körében egy olyan nézet, hogy az önálló lázmenedzsment helyett orvoshoz illik fordulni. Következtetések: A lázzal kapcsolatos ismeretek terjesztése és a tévhitekkel való leszámolás létfontosságú volna a túlhasznált sürgősségi ellátás terhelésének csökkentéséhez.

A pergunta “Quem fala?” desdobra-se numa reflexão apoiada na crítica decolonial, pós-colonial e contra-colonial, apontando para as (im)possibilidades de uma comunicação intermundos. A primeira dimensão dessa comunicação considera o racismo intrínseco ao colonialismo e à colonialidade como dispositivo silenciador, apontando para as enormes distâncias que separam os mundos Afropindorâmicos re-existentes dos mundos Moderno-Coloniais. A segunda considera as formas de comunicação plurais e multidimensionais dos mundos Afropindorâmicos implicados que tensionam os modelos cêntricos hegemônicos com base numa perspectiva ex-cêntrica.

Authors: Victor Cilene , Edoa Louis
Published: December 2023

Data dos 1980 o uso de Media intervention em missões de paz da ONU para combater comunicações que fomentavam os conflitos. Nos últimos anos, ações de media intervention alcançaram outros contextos e áreas, da arte à política. Nessa perspectiva, o artigo objetiva buscar nas proposições teóricas e nas potencialidades práticas de media interventions caminhos para uma insurgência midiática nos territórios de vulnerabilidade social, amparada em preceitos decoloniais. Para isso, o artigo recorre à revisão da literatura nos três campos que compõem o referencial teórico, comunicação, filosofia política e geografia política, e um estudo de caso de media interventions na maior favela de São Paulo, Heliópolis, e seus resultados em outra comunidade, o Pós-Balsa, em outra cidade.

Worldwide, the number of vehicles on the road has been rapidly increasing during the past decade, despite the continued development of public transport. Therefore, the problem of lack of parking spaces is occurring in many countries. Focusing on parallel car parking spaces along the roadside, there are two types of parking spaces: marked parking lots and parking zones (or undivided parking lots). This paper is dedicated to the comparison between the efficiency of these two types of parking spaces. Agent-based modeling is used to simulate the scenario of parking with particular input parameters such as driver behavior and car length. The experimental results show that various conditions of the society, namely driver behavior, car length, and marked parking lot length, are key parameters to determine whether a marked parking lot or a parking zone is more efficient.

Indoor radon concentration plays a vital role in the total annual effective dose due to internal radiation exposure. This research investigated the radon gas found in concrete, which consists of rocks, sand, and cement. It can be found in most houses and buildings in Thailand to evaluate the possible residents’ health hazards. Radon was measured using an ionization chamber detector (ATMOS 12 DPX), and the values of the radon concentration, radon exhalation rate, and annual effective dose were calculated. This study collected concrete samples from Loei, Khon Kaen, Nong Bua Lam Phu, Bueng Kan, Nakhon Phanom, Mukdahan, Ubon Ratchathani, and Nakhon Ratchasima provinces in the northeastern region of Thailand. The radon concentration in the concrete samples varied from 22.00 ± 4.00 to 110.00 ± 8.00 Bq⸱m-3, with an average of 56.77 ± 5.77 Bq⸱m-3. These values were below the guideline level of 148 Bq⸱m-3, recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). The radon exhalation rate varies from 4.20 ± 0.84 to 55.07 ± 4.00 Bq⸱kg-1⸱h-1, with an average of 15.47 ± 1.68 mBq⸱kg-1⸱h-1. The annual effective dose ranges from 0.57 ± 0.10 to 2.89 ± 0.21 mSv⸱y-1, with an average of 1.47 ± 0.15 mSv⸱y-1. The International Commission recommends the dose limit of 1 mSv⸱y-1 for public exposure on Radiological Protection (ICRP).
Los hilos del lawen
Authors: Santisteban Kaia
Published: December 2023

Este libro es una reflexión antropológica sobre los procesos políticos y afectivos que integrantes de diferentes comunidades del pueblo mapuche-tehuelche han llevado a cabo en relación con la defensa de la medicina mapuche. Las prácticas de la memoria que se describen en estas páginas –inseparables de las prácticas de conversación, de la producción de conocimientos y de la activación de relacionalidades– empiezan a transformarse en relatos comunes a partir de un evento específico: la defensa mapuche del lawen. Con esta palabra, en mapuzungun (lengua mapuche), se nombran las plantas, prácticas y conocimientos de la medicina mapuche.

El hecho de que el Estado desconozca la existencia del lawen, o lo considere dentro de los marcos económicos, políticos y científicos occidentales, produjo un movimiento de protesta espontáneo entre organizaciones, familias, comunidades, militantes mapuche y pacientes de diferentes machi (autoridad ancestral competente en temas de salud y enfermedad). Se analiza aquí la disputa quetuvo como escenario central la ciudad de San Carlos de Bariloche (provincia de Río Negro, Argentina), donde integrantes del pueblo mapuche-tehuelche se juntaron para defender no solo la salud y el lawen, sino también el territorio preexistente a la formación del Estado nación.

Esta obra trata entonces sobre los modos en que hablar del lawen y defenderlo habilitaron nuevos circuitos y lugares con efectos importantes en las dimensiones afectivas y políticas de la vida de las personas. Así, constituye un aporte para comprender las puestas en común, las negociaciones y las disputas más enriquecedoras sobre un proyecto político en torno a la medicina mapuche, que en nuestro país aún se encuentra en proceso, y para repensar algunas bases teóricas desde las cuales considerar el análisis de la memoria en grupos subalternos.

A investigação parte de uma inquietação acerca de como é desenvolvido o componente curricular ‘Ciências no Âmbito da Educação de Jovens e Adultos-EJA’. Teve como objetivo central, investigar o desenvolvimento do componente curricular Ciências no contexto da EJA. Para melhor compreensão, esta pesquisa sustenta-se em uma abordagem qualitativa, tendo como procedimento técnico o estudo de caso, na tentativa de entender a realidade exposta. Para a coleta de informações e de evidências, utilizou-se a entrevista não estruturada. Foram dois os sujeitos participantes da pesquisa, número total de professores de Ciências na EJA de uma escola pública municipal. Os resultados apontam que o ensino de Ciências desenvolvido pelos professores presa, sobretudo, os pressupostos do conhecimento prévio dos sujeitos alunos, possibilitando que os conhecimentos científicos sejam ancorados sobre esses. Para além, foi possível notar a utilização de sequências investigativas baseadas nos pressupostos da investigação científica. No entanto, o currículo escolar ainda não tem dado conta de formar o sujeito aluno num viés holístico, visto que existem várias problemáticas em seu desenvolvimento: falta constante dos alunos, evasão, ausência de material didático, dificuldade de leitura e escrita; dentre outros que assolam a modalidade de ensino.

O exercício físico pode ser utilizado como uma das ferramentas não-medicamentosas mais acessíveis e eficientes para promoção e ma­nutenção da saúde. Estudos mostram os efeitos positivos através da expressão de antioxidantes e fatores de crescimento que estimulam o aumento da neuroplasticidade cerebral, neurogênese e proliferação celular. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar os efeitos benéficos de uma única sessão de exercício resistido na aquisição e persistência na memória em acadêmicos da Universidade Alto Vale do Rio do Peixe (UNIARP), na cidade de Caçador, Santa Catarina, do sexo masculino, sedentários, com idade entre 20 a 40 anos e a sua relação com a expressão do cortisol salivar. Esses achados mediante exercício e sub-testes da Wechsler Escala de Memória – Revisada / WMS-R III (Wechsler Memory Scale – Revised) demonstraram que o exercício físico resistido promove uma tendência de aprendizado de certos tipos de memória, indicando possíveis benefícios abrangentes do exercício para as funções de memória relacionada ao hipocampo.

Purpose: evaluate mobile applications aimed at dental education. Methods: Three searches were conducted in each online store, on the leading platforms (iOS and Android), using the keywords: “Dental Teaching”; “Dental Education” and “Learning in Dentistry”. The search was carried out in Portuguese. Results: 44 applications were found on the iOS operating system using the three keywords, but only three were included. In the Android operating system, 743 applications were found (388 after removing triplicates), and only three were included in the research. In total, of the six applications, four were evaluated, as there were two duplicates. The application that obtained the highest score in the “Design” category was “iDent”, which also received the best performance in the “Instructions” and “Security” aspects. Regarding usability, the application that stood out the most was “Odontologia Concursos”. The application ranked first, according to the evaluation criteria, was RadioXtudy (13.4 points), followed by iDent (12.4 points), Odontologia Concursos (10 points) and Odonto Questões (7.1 points). Conclusions: With this study, it was possible to establish an updated overview of the applications available in the central operating systems' virtual stores related to dental education. Furthermore, it was observed that the collection of mobile applications available for this purpose on the leading search platforms is insufficient, requiring developers to provide tools adapted to the needs of students.

Objetivou-se relatar a experiência da organização e realização de um evento alusivo ao mês de conscientização sobre o autismo. Esse evento foi denominado “II Ciclo de Palestras do GEPASC da UNIPAMPA: Vamos falar de autismo?” e ocorreu em formato online, durante três encontros com duração de duas horas, no mês de abril de 2021. Esse evento, de caráter extensionista, teve o intuito de unir a Universidade e a sociedade em prol de discussões referentes ao autismo. O evento contou com uma média de 138 pessoas, sendo que a maior participação foi de discentes. Os palestrantes trouxeram exemplos práticos para auxiliar no cotidiano escolar e familiar. Também, os participantes manifestaram a necessidade da construção de espaços para discussão sobre o tema. A avaliação média do evento foi satisfatória, acima de 4 (total de 5). O planejamento, organização e execução do evento proporcionou aos acadêmicos de enfermagem o desenvolvimento de habilidades. Também, percebeu-se o interesse frente a temática dos participantes do evento que interagiram por meio dos comentários realizados no bate-papo durante as apresentações. Dessa forma, o evento corroborou para disseminação de informação sobre a temática do TEA, tanto para os acadêmicos, como comunidade externa.

Neste ensaio teórico, abordamos a dívida histórica social que se construiu ao longo dos anos, não apenas em termos quantitativos, mas relacionada ao poder e atuação de grupos em diferentes espaços sociais. Exploramos a interseccionalidade e a diversidade interagindo com gênero e raça, analisando perspectivas da literatura para refletir sobre aspectos fundamentais na experiência humana. A interseccionalidade é uma ferramenta analítica e heurística que busca a equidade, considerando a complexidade dos construtos sociais. A diversidade engloba diversas dimensões e impacta tanto a sociedade quanto as organizações e interações interpessoais. O objetivo deste estudo é entender a interseccionalidade e a diversidade adentrando em angulações e perspectivas da intrincada realidade desigual do gênero e raça. Percebeu-se que a legislação atual mostra-se ineficaz ao ignorar a interseção entre raça e gênero, expondo a fragilidade e desproteção das mulheres negras. É necessário um esforço conjunto para garantir equidade e direitos humanos. Para promover mudanças e práticas inclusivas, é fundamental aprofundar-se no tema junto com os envolvidos, criar uma estrutura acolhedora e adotar uma comunicação inclusiva. Mapear os públicos e promover palestras também é essencial, assim como observar as pessoas em suas individualidades. Superar o obstáculo de ficar no lugar atual, requer a apropriação de novos conhecimentos e ampliação do repertório, visando permitir que cada indivíduo alcance sua melhor versão. Essa abordagem promove uma sociedade justa e contribui para uma jornada de evolução coletiva.
Efeito de diferentes níveis de salinidade da água sobre a sobrevivência de larvas de Macrobrachium olfersii
Authors: Rezende Naianni de Sillis , Pirovani Nilo da Silva Nunes , Preto Bruno de Lima
Published: December 2023

A espécie Macrobrachium olfersii é considerada anfídroma por migrar da água doce para água salobra durante o processo de reprodução, assim como outras do gênero Macrobrachium. As larvas dessa espécie são naturalmente submetidas a diferentes salinidades de água, a depender do local onde as fêmeas ovígeras se encontram no momento da eclosão dos ovos e do regime hídrico natural. Em vista disso, o objetivo do trabalho foi verificar o efeito da salinidade da água sobre a sobrevivência de larvas de M. olfersii. Duzentas larvas de M. olfersii recém eclodidas foram alocadas individualmente em tubos de ensaio (40 mL), preenchidos com 20 mL de água nas concentrações salinas de 0, 5, 10 e 20 g.L-1. O experimento foi realizado em 10 dias. A avaliação da  sobrevivência se deu, diariamente, por análise macroscópica, a partir da observação de movimento e coloração das larvas e, quando inconclusiva, foi realizada com o auxílio de estereomicroscópio. Indivíduos submetidos ao tratamento com salinidade de 0 g.L-1 tiveram a morte total entre 3 e 4 dias; os submetidos à salinidade de 5 g.L- 1 tiveram morte total entre 8 e 9 dias; os submetidos à salinidade de 10 g.L-1 tiveram morte total entre 9 e 10 dias; e os mantidos em salinidade de 20 g.L-1 tiveram morte total entre 8 e 9 dias. Apesar de terem apresentado morte total no mesmo intervalo de tempo, larvas submetidas aos tratamentos de 5 e 20 g.L-1 tiveram 50% da  mortalidade populacional observada entre 5-6 dias e 7-8 dias, respectivamente. Portanto, há relação entre a sobrevivência de larvas de M. olfersii e o tempo em que são expostas à diferentes salinidades. Larvas de M. olfersii recém-eclodidas sobrevivem entre 3 a 4 dias em salinidade de 0 g.L-1 e apresentam maior sobrevivência em água salobra, principalmente quando expostas a salinidade de 10 g.L-1.
