Published: October 2023

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, is a common dental procedure that involves the removal of inflamed or infected pulp tissue, followed by cleaning, disinfecting, filling, and sealing the canals. The aim of this study is to categorize the content and assess the quality and readability of the online information regarding root canal treatment and related outcomes. An online search using three different terms regarding the root canal treatment and related outcomes was undertaken using Google, Yahoo, and Bing search engines. The first 100 websites that appeared in each search were analyzed. Data recorded included DISCERN instrument scores, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmarks, and the presence of the health on the net seal (HON). Flesh reading ease scores, flesh-kincaid grade level, the simplified measure of Gobbledygook index, and the Coleman-Liau index were calculated to assess readability. Eighty-five of the first websites remained for analysis after applying appropriate exclusion criteria. The mean overall DISCERN score was 2.91 (+1.12). Only one website (1.17%) achieved all four JAMA benchmarks. Only 12 websites (14.1%) displayed the HON seal. The reading level varied from standard to difficult among the majority of websites. Based on this study, the online information regarding root canal treatment and related outcomes has challenging readability with content of poor quality. Further efforts should be made to create and maintain high-quality, reliable, and easily readable online information sources related to root canal treatment outcomes.

Cassava is a promising commodity with a high abundance in Maros Regency. Cassava is versatile, easy to store, and delicious. Despite this, the community's demand for cassava is very low. Cassava consumption is far lower than that of other commodities such as rice, corn, and soybean. As an alternative to wheat flour, cassava starch can be processed into mocaf flour. Mocaf flour is not widely known in South Sulawesi, so it is rarely found in traditional markets. This activity aims to introduce the community to the process of processing cassava into mocaf flour, allowing the abundant cassava to be used while also opening up promising mocaf flour business opportunities. This activity involved 30 Maupe Women's Empowerment Foundation members, most of were domestic workers and farmers. This activity was carried out by providing nutritional counseling on the nutritional value of mocaf flour, training in the manufacturing of mocaf flour and processed food products, and product sensory testing. As a result of this training, participants were able to process cassava into mocaf flour and create processed foods such as mocaf noodles, meatballs, and cakes. According to the sensory test, participants expressed a preference for processed foods with a favorability rating of 82-95%
ABSTRAK:
Di Kabupaten Maros, ubi kayu merupakan produk komoditas yang prospektif dan memiliki kelimpahan amat tinggi. Ubi kayu memiliki kemampuan beradaptasi yang tinggi, mudah disimpan, dan memiliki cita rasa yang enak. Meskipun demikian, permintaan ubi kayu di kalangan masyarakat amat rendah. Konsumsi ubi kayu berada jauh di bawah komoditas lain seperti beras, jagung dan kedelai. Pati ubi kayu dapat diproses menjadi tepung mocaf sebagai alternatif pengganti tepung terigu yang berasal dari gandum. Di Sulawesi Selatan sendiri, tepung mocaf belum dikenal secara luas sehingga amat jarang ditemukan di pasar tradisional. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan kepada masyarakat mengenai pengolahan ubi kayu menjadi tepung mocaf agar kelimpahan ubi kayu dapat dimanfaatkan sekaligus membuka peluang usaha tepung mocaf yang cukup menjanjikan. Karena itu kegiatan ini melibatkan 30 orang anggota Yayasan Pemberdayaan Perempuan Maupe, sebagian besar peserta merupakan Ibu rumah tangga dan petani. Pelaksanaan kegiatan ini dilakukan dengan memberikan penyuluhan mengenai nilai gizi tepung mocaf, pelatihan pembuatan tepung mocaf serta produk pangan olahannya, serta pengujian sensori produk. Dari hasil pelatihan ini, peserta berhasil mengolah ubi kayu menjadi tepung mocaf serta membuat pangan olahan berupa mie, bakso dan kue berbahan dasar mocaf. Berdasarkan uji sensori, diketahui bahwa peserta menyatakan suka terhadap olahan pangan dengan persentase kesukaan 82-95%

Authors: Sujendro Agus , Hady Hamdy , Nalurita Febria
Published: October 2023

This study aims to analysis of factors affecting financial distress in export-import companies, specifically AEO and MITA companies in Indonesia. The results of this study show that company size, retained earnings, and leverage have a positive and significant impact on the financial difficulties of AEO and MITA importer companies in Indonesia. Meanwhile, financial costs have a negative and significant impact on the financial difficulties of AEO and MITA importer companies in Indonesia. With this research, it is hoped that company managers who carry out import activities, especially MITA and AEO companies in Indonesia, will be more aware of the company’s potential financial difficulties. To be more aware of the company’s financial burden, considering the increasing financial burden of the company, the potential for the company to experience financial difficulties will also increase. For DJBC, this research can be used as a reference to measure how much a company is experiencing financial difficulties, so that it can be a reference in providing facilities related to, for example, company guarantees to obtain periodic payments. As for the next researcher, it is one of the initial references in conducting further research considering that research related to companies who have obtained the title of AEO and Main Partner of Customs, is still very little done.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi financial distress pada perusahaan eksportir dan importir khususnya yang berpredikat MITA dan AEO di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ukuran perusahaan, laba ditahan, dan leverage memiliki dampak positif dan signifikan terhadap kesulitan keuangan perusahaan eksportir dan importir AEO dan MITA di Indonesia. Sedangkan, biaya keuangan memiliki dampak negatif dan signifikan terhadap kesulitan keuangan perusahaan importir AEO dan MITA di Indonesia. Dengan adanya penelitian ini, diharapkan bagi manajer perusahaan yang melakukan kegiatan impor terutama perusahaan MITA dan AEO di Indonesia agar lebih aware terhadap potensi kesulitan keuangan perusahaan. Agar lebih waspada terhadap beban keuangan perusahaan, mengingat semakin meningkatnya beban keuangan perusahaan maka potensi perusahaan mengalami kesulitan keuangan juga akan meningkat. Bagi DJBC, atas penelitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu referensi untuk mengukur seberapa perusahaan mengalami kesulitan keuangan, sehingga dapat menjadi salah satu acuan dalam memberikan fasilitas terkait dengan misalnya jaminan perusahaan untuk memperoleh pembayaran berkala. Sedangkan bagi peneliti selanjutnya, menjadi salah satu referensi awal dalam melakukan penelitian lebih lanjut mengingat penelitian terkait dengan perusahaan yang memperoleh predikat sebagai AEO dan Mitra Utama Kepabeanan, masih sangat sedikit dilakukan.

Published: October 2023

This research was conducted to analyze online customer experience (OCE) whether information quality, website credibility, customer support, and web personalization affect client buying intentions and customer trust in the context of B2B relationships and carry out a comparative analysis of 3 websites that are the object of research in the human resources industry (company A, B, and C). The study used 77 respondents from various corporations operating in Jakarta who were selected by simple random technique and then analyzed using PLS-SEM ANOVA and Duncan analysis for website comparison analysis. The results showed that the quality of information on websites, customer support, and web personalization had a positive influence on purchase intentions and customer trust. Website credibility does not have a positive effect on purchase intention and customer trust. These findings imply that offline networking and business development still play an important role in B2B business relationships. Further research is needed regarding other variables in OCE in the B2B context considering that most of the research on OCE is still in the B2C context.

Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis online customer experience (OCE) apakah kualitas informasi, kredibilitas website, dukungan pelanggan, dan personalisasi web memengaruhi intensi membeli client dan kepercayaan pelanggan dalam konteks hubungan B2B dan melakukan analisa perbandingan 3 website yang menjadi obyek penelitian di industri Sumber Daya Manusia (Perusahaan A, B, dan C). Penelitian menggunakan 77 responden dari berbagai korporasi yang beroperasi di Jakarta yang dipilih dengan teknik acak sederhana kemudian dianalisis dengan PLS-SEM serta analisa ANOVA dan Duncan untuk analisa perbandingan website. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kualitas informasi pada website, dukungan pelanggan dan personalisasi web memberikan pengaruh positif kepada intensi membeli dan kepercayaan pelanggan. Kredibilitas website ternyata tidak memberi pengaruh positif kepada intensi membeli dan kepercayaan pelanggan. Temuan ini menyiratkan bahwa offline networking dan business development masih tetap memegang peranan penting dalam hubungan bisnis B2B. Diperlukan penelitian lebih jauh terkait variabel lain dalam OCE dalam konteks B2B mengingat sebagian besar penelitian tentang OCE masih dalam konteks B2C.

This research aims to examine the influence of financial literacy, risk perception, and risk tolerance on investment decisions among stock investors in the Jabodetabek region. Stock investors are faced with a complex and high-risk capital market environment, so adequate financial knowledge, accurate risk perception, and appropriate risk tolerance can be important factors in making intelligent investment decisions. This study employs a quantitative approach, using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to stock investors in the Jabodetabek region. The research sample consists of 515 randomly selected respondents. The collected data is analyzed using multiple linear regression to test the research hypotheses. The results of the study show that financial literacy has a significant positive influence on investment decisions among stock investors in Jabodetabek. This means that individuals with higher levels of financial literacy are more likely to make intelligent investment decisions. Additionally, risk perception also has a significant influence on investment decisions. Investors with accurate risk perceptions tend to be more cautious in making investment decisions. Furthermore, risk tolerance was not found to have a significant influence on investment decisions among stock investors in Jabodetabek.

Published: October 2023

Ferns are considered as important medical herbs. They produce a wide range of secondary metabolites that could be useful in treating different diseases. However, they still remain underexplored in medical aspects in Iraq. Hence, the purpose of this study was to identify alkaloids components in the methanol extracts of four fern species (Asplenium ceterach L., A. scolopendrium L., Cheilanthes pteridioides (Richard) C. Chr. from Malakan region in Erbil Governorate and Equisetum ramosissimum Desf. from Chemi Rezan in Sulaimaniyah Governorate,  of northen Iraq during March - June 2018. The research was conducted by using High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique to identify the alkaloid compounds. Seven types of alkaloids (martensine, almazoline, caulerpin, hordenine, corilagin, colocynthis and isoquinoline) were detected in four fern methanolic extracts. The results showed that the alkaloids varied in concentrations between the studied localities as well as in variance of the alkaloid content between these species. The results revealed that caulerpin was recorded as the highest concentration (563.3 µg/ ml), while isoquinoline was recorded as the lowest (23.7 µg/ ml) in both A. scolopendrium and C. pteridioides. In this study the highest total alkaloid content was recorded 1460.1 µg/ ml in E. ramosissimum extract and the lowest content (603.8 µg/ ml) was recorded in C. pteridioides extract during the study period.
Calculation of the Best Stability Orbit of the Satellite around the Earth before Transferring to Orbit around Mars
Authors: Abood Duaa Deyaa , Saleh Abdul-rahman H.
Published: October 2023

In this research, the eccentricity will be calculated as well as the best height of satellite orbit that can used to transfer from that orbit around the Earth to construct an interplanetary trajectory, for example Mars, when the transfer can be accomplished by a simple impulse, that means the transfer consists of an elliptical orbit from the inner orbit (at a perigee point) to the outer orbit (at apogee point). We will determine Keplerian equation to find the value of a mean anomaly(M) by Rung-Cutta method.
There are several types of satellites orbits around the Earth, but by this study, we find that the best stable orbit to the satellite that is used to inter its orbit around Mars is the Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) at a height about 3500km above the Earth surface. (MEO) comprises a wide range of orbits anywhere between LEO and GEO, its height above the Earth surface is about 2000-35700 km, and it is very commonly used by navigation satellites.
The values ​​of Euler angles (i=23.45°, Ω=20°, w=60°) were installed and the values ​​of each of the height of the perigee point were changed by controlling the height from the ground surface (hp=500, 3500, 35800) km and the eccentricity of the orbit from e=0.1 to 0.9. We found that the best stable orbit of the satellite around the Earth in preparation for its transition to another orbit around Mars is at an altitude of 3500 km, with eccentricity of approximately 0.6, because this orbit was the most stable according to the program results shown in the graphs (no.10) because at the perigee of the orbit we obtained the highest escape speed was approximately 8 km/sec, which means the possibility of transfer with the lowest possible energy.
The Simulation of Old Human Remains Detecting Utilizing Ground Penetrating Radar Image Processing
Authors: Jawad Laith A. , Mahdi Alaa S. , Mahmood Faleh H.
Published: October 2023

Many Iraqi provinces had collective cemeteries, especially in the middle and southern regions of Iraq, but many of those cemetery locations are undefined yet. Ground penetration radar has two features that make it optimal from a geophysical perspective for shallowly detecting sensitive materials near the surface. First, the instantaneous image is formed upon scanning, called a radargram. Second, the non-destructive inference of the scanned materials. For these two reasons, this technique was chosen to conduct a simulation process to reveal the old human remains in Iraq's central and southern areas using another model with the same physical feature (old burial) at the AL-Khamisiya site, Thi-Qar province.
The demanded stages for completing the simulation process can be divided into two parts. The first part is that before the model's burial, a field survey was conducted to identify the site subsurface features and test the penetration extent of the selected antennas, in addition, to accurately calculating the speed of radar phase waves to obtain a calibrated measurement of the target's depth of burial. After the model's burying (the remains of old Iraqi humans), the second part included individual scanning and grouping at a depth of two m and four m.
This simulation proved that the variation value in the dielectric constant between the burial medium (host medium) and the buried body (target) is the most critical determinant of detecting the remains' success or failure. Also, the work proved that low frequencies between (100-250) MHz are optimal for detecting human remains in a saline environment.
Study on tssC1 Gene Mediating Biofilm Antibiotics Resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Authors: Al-Khazraji Shaymaa Fouad Rasheed
Published: October 2023

P. aeruginosa is a famous bacterium that causes several diseases and has a high ability to be a multidrug resistant organism that is linked with the formation of biofilm. This study aimed to investigate tssC1 gene role in the resistance of different antibiotics in the presence of biofilm. We constructed biofilm for the isolates under the study and showed the effect of different antibiotics on biofilm formation and maturation. The presence of the gene was detected through achieving PCR reaction. Finally, tssC1 gene variation was determined through sequencing and aligning the sequencing products. The results showed that most of the isolates (80%) formed biofilm that played a role in the resistance of different antibiotics which could be due to the presence of tssC1 gene. However, the genic variation of tssC1 gene showed that no variation was detected. Therefore, we think this gene has no a role in the resistance of antibiotics and that the resistance may have been raised by other mechanisms found in P. aeruginosa isolates. This led us to conclude that the tssC1 gene does not contribute to the resistance of antibiotics through biofilm.

A INTERPRETAÇÃO LITERAL E O DIREITO ROMANO: TRATAMENTO E EFEITOS JURÍDICOS NAS GERAÇÕES FUTURAS
Authors: Massaro Rubens Luiz Schmidt Rodrigues , Rizkallah Ricardo José
Published: October 2023

A interpretação jurídica depende de técnicas para sua realização. A técnica mais antiga é a interpretação literal, presente desde os tempos mais remotos da história humana. Nela, abstrai-se o conteúdo gramatical ou filológico do texto, seguindo fielmente o que está descrito no texto. Esse modelo era utilizado na antiguidade com o propósito de fixar o controle social do Estado, proibindo interpretações que não fossem condizentes com a intenção do legislador, sempre com um viés político. A superação desta limitação interpretativa veio com o Direito Romano, que se tornou o esteio de gerações futuras, trazendo uma visão jurídica diferente – reconhecendo a importância da interpretação literal da norma, mas propondo outras maneiras que melhorassem a aplicação do direito, quando necessário para buscar efetivamente a justiça. Temos dois casos ilustres que refletem esta evolução – a ação dos pretores e dos jurisconsultos. Por fim, é preciso entender quais foram os efeitos práticos deste fenômeno, fazendo uma análise contemporânea, e de que maneira contribuíram para o desenvolvimento da hermenêutica hodierna.

The Study Program Selection System: Integrated Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique For Others Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) Approach
Authors: Erlina Marni , Okfalisa Okfalisa
Published: October 2023

The study program selection in several high schools or madrasah aliyah (MA) in Riau province is conducted manually. The initial survey found that the study program is commonly chosen by following the friend’s preference and parents’ option instead of their knowledge capability and desire. As a reflection, many students fail to adhere to the school subjects, obtain unsatisfactory results, and even change their study program. Therefore, this paper aims to assist students in altering the appropriate study program by considering students' capabilities, talents and interests by developing a multi-criteria decision support system (DSS). This DSS employs the integrated AHP approach for criteria weighting and TOPSIS for ranking alternatives.  Herein, seventy students' data from grade ten MAN 2 Kuantan Singingi grows into this case study. The automation system analysis is executed through the web base DSS system using PHP programming language and MySQL database. As a result, AHP calculates the significance values of the criterion whereby the student interest score values at 0.34, academic report, potential academic test, physiological test, Pre-Test/Post-Test, interview scores, and teacher recommendation scores at 0.21, 0.14, 0.11, 0.09, 0.06, and 0.05, respectively. Subsequently, TOPSIS ranks the students according to the assessment and criteria weighting based on the standard requirement of study program in Mathematics and Science program (MIPA) and Social Science program (IIS). The DSS study program selection application has been tested using the Blackbox and User Acceptance Test (UAT) methods. Both of these approaches indicate that this application is functionally approved and capable of aiding the users in the optimal study program selection, with 81.9% agreement. In a nutshell, this DSS has successfully recommended the optimum study program per the students’ talents, interests, and capabilities and provided the direction development of students’ expertise area for the next level of education.

El diseño curricular por competencias se basa en el desarrollo de conocimientos y habilidades relevantes para la sociedad. En Colombia, este enfoque ha ganado importancia debido a la nueva legislación en educación superior y la influencia de agencias internacionales de acreditación. Los principales desafíos incluyen establecer un modelo de evaluación, preparar a los profesores y coordinar con diferentes grupos de interés. En la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali, se ha llevado a cabo una reforma curricular simultánea de cinco programas de ingeniería como parte de una metarreforma más amplia. El objetivo es formar profesionales con alta calidad humana, ética y responsabilidad social, capaces de resolver problemas en diversos contextos y promover proyectos innovadores. Este nuevo diseño curricular se basa en un perfil de egreso de facultad, con macrocompetencias, mesocompetencias y microcompetencias adaptadas a cada programa. Además, se incluye un núcleo común con componentes transversales y se promueve la interdisciplinariedad, el desarrollo de habilidades blandas y la adaptabilidad al entorno cambiante. Este proceso y sus resultados pueden ser relevantes para otras instituciones y facultades, ya que es reproducible y escalable.
Determining the Severity of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome Among Newborns Exposed to Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitors in Utero: A Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Arulandoo Amenda , Kugathasan Sahanaa

Introduction: Depression among expectant adults is increasing. This may contribute to newborns experiencing withdrawal symptoms following in utero exposure to antidepressants. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) are the most commonly prescribed classes of antidepressants. Newborns with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) following fetal opioid exposure receive systematic screening and pharmacological treatment based on results from the Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring System (FNASS). In contrast, newborns exposed to SSRIs/SNRIs may not receive routine screening, thus SSRI-/SNRI-induced NAS may go undiagnosed and untreated, due to the lack of awareness of the consequences of SSRI-SNRI exposure in utero. Methods: We will search electronic databases (Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov, and grey literature) from inception to July 2021 for relevant articles. Two independent reviewers will eliminate duplicate articles, screen to select relevant articles, extract quantitative data pertaining to FNASS scores and assess for risks of biases. Results: Upon conducting this systematic review, we hypothesize the results will support our objective of determining the prevalence of NAS among neonates exposed to SSRIs/SNRIs in utero. Majority of neonates diagnosed with moderate to severe opioid-induced NAS receive systematic screening and pharmacological treatment. In contrast, neonates exposed to SSRIs/SNRIs may not be systematically screened, and so go on to be untreated. This is concerning considering the potential adverse effects related to untreated NAS Discussion: We plan to use the results of our meta-analysis to yield a summary of average FNASS scores in neonates exposed to SSRIs or SNRIs in utero (primary outcome). In addition, we aim to compare the resulting FNASS summary score against the proportion of neonates who received pharmacological treatment for NAS (secondary outcome). Conclusion: In conducting our proposed systematic review, we aim to determine the severity of SSRI-/SNRI-induced NAS using the FNASS scoring tool, the prevalence of newborns who receive pharmacological treatment for this condition, and to emphasize the development of standardized evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of newborns with SSRI-/SNRI-induced NAS.
Deep Learning Models for Generation of Novel Compounds
Authors:   , Wang Kang
Published: October 2023

The application of deep learning models in computational chemistry and drug discovery has achieved impressive results in the past two decades. In both academia and the pharmaceutical industry, the advantages of deep neural networks have received significant attention. In this paper, we demonstrate the performance of several deep gener- ative models in drug discovery in recent years. Compared with using a model alone, a model with a hybrid structure can maximise its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. Variational auto-encoders (VAEs) are accom- panied by invalid outputs due to the posterior collapse problem. At the same time, generative adversarial networks (GANs) often struggle in a low-diversity quandary owing to GANs with continuous variables. Ad- versarially regularised graph auto-encoder (ARGA) is a graph-based pro- duction model that combines VAE and GAN. We optimised the ARGA model for molecular graph generation and found that its validity, unique- ness and novelty are superior to traditional models. We also integrated the advantages of the Junction tree autoencoder and ARGA to obtain a new model JT-ARGA. The idea of the junction tree is to improve the chemical validity of molecule generation by encoding or decoding the sub-graph of the molecule instead of creating molecules atom by atom.
Possibilidades e desafios no uso de drone para mapeamento de comunidades tradicionais na Amazônia
Authors: Alves José Diego Gobbo
Published: October 2023

Neste artigo, analisamos a utilização de um drone de pequeno porte e baixo custo (DJI Mavic Mini 2), descrevendo seu desempenho, vantagens e os principais desafios enfrentados na coleta de imagens em campo de comunidades tradicionais na Amazônia brasileira, assim como no processamento dos dados em laboratório para o mapeamento. A análise é baseada em uma experiência de trabalho de campo no baixo curso do rio Negro, onde foram mapeadas 32 comunidades tradicionais. Os resultados obtidos indicam que, embora o equipamento seja a porta de entrada para o uso de drones em mapeamentos, apresenta vantagens em relação a outros equipamentos, como menor custo, menor burocracia institucional para a realização de voos, facilidade de manuseio, manutenção e transporte. Quanto aos desafios enfrentados em campo, destacam-se questões logísticas, disponibilidade de infraestrutura, condições ambientais e manuseio do equipamento em um contexto amazônico. No laboratório, é necessário adaptar computadores (hardware e software) para o processamento das imagens, além de enfrentar problemas na sobreposição de objetos homogêneos, como florestas e rios, e na classificação dos ortomosaicos gerados, demandando etapas de reclassificação. Com o intuito de contribuir para pesquisas futuras que utilizem instrumentos semelhantes para capturar imagens de alta resolução, este artigo visa estimular pesquisadores (as) interessados (as) em trabalhar com mapeamento por meio de drones a refletirem sobre estratégias e possibilidades na realização de mapeamentos com equipamentos de pequeno porte e baixo custo

Mesmo relativamente recentes na literatura científica, os estudos em torno dos depósitos, feições e processos tecnogênicos são necessários uma vez que sintetizam diferentes aspectos face ao papel da sociedade enquanto agente geológico-geomorfológico. Este estudo objetiva analisar os processos tecnogênicos associados à construção do Rodoanel (Rodovia PI-368) de Teresina/PI através de identificação e classificação das feições encontradas. Por meio de estudos de campo com uso de caderneta de campo, aparelho de GPS e fita métrica, e de estudos em gabinete (QGis 3.16.1 e Google Earth) juntamente com aplicação das classificações apresentadas, foram identificadas 15 feições. Foram observados diferentes tipos de terrenos tecnogênicos, principalmente de Agradação e Degradação, estes últimos associados a taludes de corte e com presença de processo erosivo em sulcos e ravinas de dimensões variadas, como as dos Pontos 2, 3, 10 e 15. Estes materiais são classificados principalmente em Espólico e Sedimentar, ao passo que suas estruturas se caracterizam em grande parte por serem Maciças, Estratificadas e Irregulares, como no Ponto 7. O estudo possibilitou, assim, a compreensão da geotecnogênese ao longo do Rodoanel em diferentes tipos de processos, fato comprovado pelos processos e terrenos que testemunham a ação do homem para a gênese de superfícies antropizadas.

Tendo em vista que os extremos climáticos de precipitações pluviométricas ocasionam transtornos para diversos setores da sociedade, pesquisa-se sobre a Zona de Convergência Intertropical (ZCIT), sua interação e variabilidade sobre o norte da América do Sul. Para tanto é necessário analisar os possíveis moduladores do clima, que podem exercer influência em relação a intensidade da ZCIT, ao longo dos solstícios (verão e inverno) e dos equinócios (outono e primavera) no hemisfério sul. Realiza-se, então, uma pesquisa baseada nas análises da série temporal dos dados de reanálises das variáveis: precipitação, radiação de onda longa e as componentes horizontais do vento. Além disso, utilizou-se índices climáticos, como o índice de oscilação sul (IOS) e o índice do modo meridional do atlântico (MMA). Diante disso, verificou-se que a ZCIT estabelece maior influência sobre o clima sazonal sobre o norte da América do Sul no equinócio de outono, quando ela alcança um máximo deslocamento para o hemisfério sul.
