Authors: Akpor Oghenerobor , Ajinde Ayotunde , Ogunnusi Tolulope
Published: June 2024

Seed priming enhances germination and growth, which are important determinants of crop yield. This study was carried out to assess the effect of priming duration and metabolite concentration on the priming of five (5) different crops, using the metabolites of five (5) bacterial isolates. The crop seeds were treated in the cold-extracted metabolites of the five isolates at five (5) different priming durations (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 h) and then in five metabolite concentrations (200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 mg/L) of the five extracted metabolites at the optimal priming duration determined in the first experiment. Characterization of the cold-extracted metabolites was also carried out using gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results revealed that priming cowpea and soybean for longer durations (< 3 h) could hinder their growth and development. Lower concentrations were observed to be optimal for cowpea and soybean, but for sesame and okra, there was no detectable pattern with metabolite concentration. The GC-MS revealed the presence of some molecules (e.g. hexadecanoic acid) that have shown plant growth promotion potential in other studies. This study showed that seeds with large endosperm, such as, cowpea and soybean, are more prone to the deleterious effects of treatment for longer durations. Further experiments should be carried out to isolate and purify the bioactive moieties for further studies and onward application.

Published: June 2024

Background Data sharing in developmental science is increasingly encouraged, supported by funder and publisher mandates for open data access. Data sharing can accelerate discovery, link researchers with high quality analytic expertise to researchers with large datasets and democratise the research landscape to enable researchers with limited funding to access large sample sizes. However, there are also significant privacy and security concerns, in addition to conceptual and ethical considerations. These are particularly acute for developmental science, where child participants cannot consent themselves. As we move forward into a new era of data openness, it is essential that we adequately represent the views of stakeholder communities in designing data sharing efforts. Methods We conducted a comprehensive survey of the opinions of 195 parents on data sharing in developmental science. Survey themes included how widely parents are willing to share their child’s data, which type of organisations they would share the data with and the type of consent they would be comfortable providing. Results Results showed that parents were generally supportive of curated, but not open, data sharing. In addition to individual privacy and security concerns, more altruistic considerations around the purpose of research were important. Parents overwhelmingly supported nuanced consenting models in which preferences for particular types of data sharing could be changed over time. This model is different to that implemented in the vast majority of developmental science research and is contrary to many funder or publisher mandates. Conclusions The field should look to create shared repositories that implement features such as dynamic consent and mechanisms for curated sharing that allow consideration of the scientific questions addressed. Better communication and outreach are required to build trust in data sharing, and advanced analytic methods will be required to understand the impact of selective sharing on reproducibility and representativeness of research datasets.
Crisis leadership towards entrepreneurial success: a Sri Lankan perspective
Authors: Koswatte Isuru , Joseph Shehani
Published: June 2024

Modern business environments are characterized by regular crises, and much attention is paid to understanding why certain individuals and businesses endure while others do not. It has been the entrepreneurial ability to see a crisis as an opportunity that has led to many successful business stories emerging from adversity, such as the recent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Much of the discussion on the subject centres on the abilities and some essential attributes found in leaders and entrepreneurs. Their ability to face such problems is explored in the context of two cases reported in Sri Lanka. The value of crisis leadership and its function in developing entrepreneurship in challenging situations like the COVID-19 pandemic are discussed in this essay. To expand on this point, the authors use the case of Sri Lanka, which not only faced the pandemic but also an economic crisis and political upheaval during the same period.
Application of accuracy improvement algorithms for extraction of topographic information and drainage network from DEM using GIS
Authors: Nagabathula Sunanda , Yammani Srinivasa Rao
Published: June 2024

The extraction of drainage network and watershed information is prerequisite for the study of watershed characteristics like morphometric analysis, which provides a basis for hydrological planning and modeling. The advanced tools of algorithms, Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and Geographical Information System (GIS) software are used to extract drainage networks and their watershed boundaries. These tools are complicated to use or produce more errors in the extraction of elevation and drainage networks when applied to flat areas. For removal of errors and to improve the accuracy in preparation of DEM and extraction of drainage network, Burada Kalava River Basin, Andhra Pradesh, India has been taken for application of accuracy improvement algorithms. An automatic generation of drainage network and watershed using digital elevation model results in positional errors due to variations in slope and topography. This study aimed to generate a catchment area and stream network that closely represent the natural stream network and the streams’ real positions. The step-by-step methodology using GRASS-interfaced Quantum GIS algorithms are given for pre-processing of DEM data to improve the positional accuracy before automatic extraction of the stream network and catchment area to resemble the real situation of the watershed. Secondly, efforts are made to analyze the DEM during automatic generation of the stream network and catchment area by assigning various area threshold values, including the application of pour point coordinates in improving the stream network and watershed characteristics. The results are verified and validated with the field information in order to improve the accuracy levels of DEM quality in generation of drainage network and catchment area.

FROM POLISH TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING STUDIES: UNPUBLISHED DOCTORAL THESES (1874-2010)
The present publication, the first in a planned series, presents the achievements of Polish translation scholars collected in the form of unpublished doctoral dissertations. An integral part of the study is a list of doctoral dissertations written from the second half of the 19th century to the end of the first decade of the present millennium (1874-2010), registering 136 years of Polish translation studies: the stage of early scientific development, the formation of the discipline, and the gradual achievement of maturity. During the period under study, 374 translation and interpreting studies dissertations were registered, defended at Polish universities and research institutes, disciplinary related to literary studies, linguistics, library science, theological and legal sciences. The created bibliographic database serves as a starting point for searching for sources and tracking the dynamics of the development of Polish studies on broadly understood translation and interpreting studies. It represents an attempt to illustrate their polydisciplinarity, subject diversity, and methodological heterogeneity.
The Relative Effects of a Scandal on Member Engagement in Rites of Integration and Rites of Passage: Evidence from a Child Abuse Scandal in the Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia
Authors: Stroube Bryan K. , Zavyalova Anastasiya
Published: June 2024

Organizational research has documented that scandals lead to negative aggregate stakeholder reactions. There is little reason to believe, however, that the effects of a scandal are homogenous across different types of engagement. We therefore compare the effects of a scandal on member engagement in two types of rites at normative organizations: rites of integration and rites of passage. Rites of integration focus on the community, celebrate organizational values, and help strengthen organizational identification; they are thus enacted more by core members. Rites of passage focus on the individual, celebrate transition between social roles, and require only occasional engagement; they are thus enacted by core and peripheral members. Because of these differences, we hypothesize that a normative organization’s implication in a scandal affects rites of passage more negatively than rites of integration, but that this effect depends on scandal prevalence among neighboring organizations, organizational age, and organizational size. We test our hypotheses in the context of a child abuse scandal in the Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Using yearly parish-level data from 1990 to 2010, we find that a parish’s implication in the scandal was associated with a larger decline in rites of passage (marriages, baptisms, and funerals) than in rites of integration (mass attendance). This difference was reversed with the increase in scandal prevalence. Furthermore, rites of integration were more resilient than rites of passage at older and larger parishes. To help rule in the plausibility of our organization-level theory, we present a simulation grounded in individual-level polling data from the context.

Conducting a rigorous evaluation of the daylight performance of buildings is essential for human health and energy efficiency. Today, there are two main methods used for analysis: the daylight factor, which has been used since the early 1900s, and the newer approach known as climate-based modelling. Both methods are employed in the EN 17037 Daylight in Buildings’ standard. Utilizing different calculation methods causes discrepancies in daylight provision performance analyses of a room. However, there is no definition or limitation for this subject in the standard. As a result, researchers prefer different calculation methods for the same location in daylighting analyses without a clear justification. Additionally, there is a lack of parametric methods that follow the guidelines of the standard. This study aims to analyse the impact of calculation methods on daylighting analyses according to different regions and generate parametric methods in compliance with the standard. In this respect, comparison calculations are conducted for a theoretical room situated in all 81 provinces of Turkey, where variant climate types occur over a year. Furthermore, parametric workflows are generated using Rhinoceros/Grasshopper following the directives of the standard. The findings indicate that the method choice affects the illumination levels in all zones, ranging from 15 to 114 %.

The infrastructure of a country depends significantly on cement concrete as the primary construction material. The aggregate comprises a significant proportion of the overall volume of concrete. However, the ongoing extraction of granite rock to obtain coarse aggregate contributes to the escalating need for natural resources among future generations. Due to its high carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint, the cement industry is a significant contributor to global warming. An appropriate reduction in the amount of cement in concrete without affecting its key properties can result in economical and sustainable development of the construction industry. In this investigation, agricultural waste coconut shell is considered as a substitute for conventional aggregate in concrete to produce lightweight coconut shell concrete. The alccofine-1203 contains ultrafine particles with a distinctive composition that enhances the pozzolanic and hydration process in concrete. Alccofine ranging from 5 % to 15 % were added to cement. The results demonstrated that the 10 % alccofine enhanced the fresh and mechanical properties of the lightweight coconut shell concrete. Using a combination of coconut shell and alccofine in concrete would be the most environmentally sustainable option in the construction industry.
User Monetization and Value Creation in Tangled Markets
Authors: Mette Thorhauge Anne
Published: June 2024

In this concluding chapter, I will discuss how user commodification is expanded and intensified in tangled markets and how this development challenges current approaches to the regulation of platforms. Since Smythe’s seminal work on the ‘audience commodity’ (1981), the role of advertising has been a key focus in the conceptualization of commodification processes in commercial media, and it remains an important backdrop to widely used concepts, such as ‘the attention economy’ (Goldhaber, 1997) and ‘the marketplace of attention’ (Webster, 2014). Of course, advertising as a business model has been expanded throughout this history and commodification has been intensified through mechanisms of datafication (Van Dijck et al, 2018: 37) and a gradual shift from attention to engagement as a key focus of this commodification (Ørmen and Gregersen, 2022). As the previous chapters indicate, advertising is by no means the only way in which users are monetized and commodified on digital platforms, and the specific approach employed by Valve on the Steam platform allows us to consider in more detail alternatives beyond advertising. On Steam, users are also addressed as traders that create value for the platform by way of their economic action. This business model, more specifically, consists in converting the value players attach to their game worlds into market value through the integration of transactional affordances into a range of contexts on the platform (see Chapter 5). In this way, the core of Steam’s business model is not the audience commodity but rather the commodification of player-driven economies.
Conclusion: A Pragmatist View of Inter-Organizational Relations and World Order
Authors: Franke Ulrich
Published: June 2024

The concluding chapter includes three steps. First, an evaluation of the volume’s three levels of innovation takes place. This differentiates the research objects studied, the theories used and the methodologies deployed. Drawing on the pragmatist concept of beliefs as rules for action, the second step offers a synopsis of the various world-ordering beliefs covered by the chapters. Based on this collection, the third and final step spells out the implications of the findings for world order and its development. As starting points for further research, the world-ordering beliefs point to clashes between diplomacy and the rule of law, human rights and security considerations, or counterterrorism-inspired stabilization and the traditional peacekeeping principle of impartiality. The findings, inter alia, highlight the strengthening of an economic logic of action, of governing the world through statistics, and of cooperation through the exchange of information.

This chapter begins with a description of the relationship between two communities in Cyprus, Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots, and their struggles in their long bi-communal conflict. After the explanation of the methodological approach, the chapter continues with the review of the European Union (EU)’s historical connection to the Cyprus Problem. It divides the role of the EU in three time periods mainly based on the magnitude of the EU’s involvement: the EU pre-accession period (roughly from 1973 to 1997); the EU accession talks period until the 2004 Annan plan referendum (from 1998 to 2004); and the post-accession period (from 2004 onwards). The chapter also gives a non-exclusive list of policy recommendations for each of the four topical areas and concludes by summarizing the implications as well as the limitations of the present study juxtaposed with opinions expressed in interviews with selected policy makers and stakeholders.
Influence of Mozambique Channel eddies on larval loss of two shallow-water commercial shrimp species

Published: June 2024

The shallow-water shrimp fishery is an important social and economic sector in Mozambique. However, catches of shrimps have been declining over the last decades, presumably due to poor recruitment. Climate change has been proposed as a potential cause of increased mesoscale eddy activity over the Mozambique Channel, which may have played a role in poor shrimp recruitment. Indeed, stronger eddies could transport matter, including increased numbers of shrimp larvae, from the coast to unfavourable offshore areas. In this study we used a biophysical model to investigate the influence of eddies on the dispersal of larvae of two commercial shrimp species (Penaeus indicus and Metapenaeus monoceros) from their spawning areas on the Sofala Bank. We found some 5 large events of offshore or southward transport loss (>10% loss) from the Sofala Bank caused by eddies, occurring sporadically. The northern and central Sofala Bank areas were the most affected by larvae lost offshore. Simulations revealed that temperature-induced larval mortality, associated with cold-core cyclonic eddies, could also play a role in larval loss of up to 40%, which is greater than the larval transport loss associated with the eddy circulation. However, when they survived, larvae transported offshore could travel long distances (600–1600 km in 15 days), potentially promoting connectivity with other stocks in the region.
Introducing Isotòpia: A stable isotope database for Classical Antiquity
Authors: Formichella Giulia , Soncin Silvia , Lubritto Carmine , Tafuri Mary Anne , Fernandes Ricardo , Cocozza Carlo
Published: June 2024

We present Isotòpia, an open-access database compiling over 36,000 stable isotope measurements (δ13C, δ15N, δ18O, δ34S, 87Sr/86Sr, 206Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/204Pb, 208Pb/204Pb, 207Pb/206Pb, and 208Pb/206Pb) on human, animal, and plant bioarchaeological remains dating to Classical Antiquity (approximately 800 BCE ‐ 500 CE). These were recovered from different European regions, particularly from the Mediterranean. Isotòpia provides a comprehensive characterisation of the isotopic data, encompassing various historical, archaeological, biological, and environmental variables. Isotòpia is a resource for meta-analytical research of past human activities and paleoenvironments. The database highlights data gaps in isotopic classical archaeology, such as the limited number of isotopic measurements available for plants and animals, limited number of studies on spatial mobility, and spatial heterogeneity of isotopic research. As such, we emphasise the necessity to address and fill these gaps in order to unlock the reuse potential of this database.
Measuring intangible cultural heritage image: A scale development
Authors: Liu Yuqing , Li Ye , Tao Wenjie , Wang Qingsheng
Published: June 2024

Although an increasing number of studies have examined issues relating to the preservation and development of intangible cultural heritage (ICH), there has been limited research on how tourists perceive ICH. Moreover, UNESCO asserts that the concept of “authenticity” is not applicable to ICH, and so far, no valid instrument for measuring tourists’ subjective perceptions of ICH has been developed, even though their perceptions play a very important role in the preservation and development of ICH. Therefore, this paper aims to develop a measurement scale for ICH image, using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Participant observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, secondary data collection, and a literature review were conducted to generate the initial scale items, and then the main surveys were conducted to collect data for the model tests. Four dimensions were extracted by exploratory factor analysis: transmission, localization, vitality, and association. The reliability and validity of the measurement model were demonstrated through confirmatory factor analysis. We further determined that the transmission, vitality, and association of ICH image have a positive impact on tourists’ revisit intention. The paper highlights the crucial role of ICH image in sustainable tourism development. The theoretical and managerial implications of the study are discussed, followed by suggestions for future research.

Published: June 2024

The rapid spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A (H5N1) viruses in Southeast Asia in 2004 prompted the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries to expand its avian influenza surveillance in wild birds. A total of 18,693 birds were sampled between 2004 and 2020, including migratory shorebirds (in 2004–2009), other coastal species (in 2009–2010), and resident waterfowl (in 2004–2020). No avian influenza viruses (AIVs) were isolated from cloacal or oropharyngeal samples from migratory shorebirds or resident coastal species. Two samples from red knots (Calidris canutus) tested positive by influenza A RT-qPCR, but virus could not be isolated and no further characterization could be undertaken. In contrast, 6179 samples from 15,740 mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) tested positive by influenza A RT-qPCR. Of these, 344 were positive for H5 and 51 for H7. All H5 and H7 viruses detected were of low pathogenicity confirmed by a lack of multiple basic amino acids at the hemagglutinin (HA) cleavage site. Twenty H5 viruses (six different neuraminidase [NA] subtypes) and 10 H7 viruses (two different NA subtypes) were propagated and characterized genetically. From H5- or H7-negative samples that tested positive by influenza A RT-qPCR, 326 AIVs were isolated, representing 41 HA/NA combinations. The most frequently isolated subtypes were H4N6, H3N8, H3N2, and H10N3. Multivariable logistic regression analysis of the relations between the location and year of sampling, and presence of AIV in individual waterfowl showed that the AIV risk at a given location varied from year to year. The H5 and H7 isolates both formed monophyletic HA groups. The H5 viruses were most closely related to North American lineages, whereas the H7 viruses formed a sister cluster relationship with wild bird viruses of the Eurasian and Australian lineages. Bayesian analysis indicates that the H5 and H7 viruses have circulated in resident mallards in New Zealand for some time. Correspondingly, we found limited evidence of influenza viruses in the major migratory bird populations visiting New Zealand. Findings suggest a low probability of introduction of HPAI viruses via long-distance bird migration and a unique epidemiology of AIV in New Zealand.
Metasurface-based dual-sense circularly polarized antenna for MIMO/full-duplex applications
Authors: Tran-Viet Duc-Nguyen , Nguyen Tuan Hong , Nguyen Quoc Dinh , Nguyen Tien Dat , Tran-Huy Hung
Published: June 2024

This paper introduces a two-element antenna array with dual-sense circular polarization, wideband operation, and high isolation characteristics. The antenna consists of two conventional truncated corner patches and an extra layer of metasurface (MS) located above the radiating patches. The overall dimensions of the proposed antenna are 0.92 λ0 × 0.73 λ0 × 0.05 λ0 and the element spacings are 0.02 λ0 and 0.39 λ0 with respect to edge-to-edge and center-to-center spacings. For validation, measurements on a fabricated antenna prototype are carried out. The measured data demonstrate that the presented MS-based antenna has a wide operating bandwidth of 14.5% with high isolation of better than 26 dB. The excellent performance could be concluded from the results of the investigation, which indicates that the proposed MS-based antenna could be a good candidate for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and full-duplex applications.
Kirjallisuuskatsaus työhyvinvoinnin keskeisistä teemoista puuhuoltoketjussa: psyykkinen kuormittuminen, työtuntien määrä ja naisten tilanne

Published: June 2024

Metsäsektorilla työskennellään yhteiskunnallisesti tärkeällä työalalla. Samalla metsäalaan kohdistuu nykyisin monia, osin ristiriitaisiakin tavoitteita. Tämä kuvaileva kirjallisuuskatsaus paneutuu aiemmin toteutetun puuhuoltoketjun työhyvinvointikyselyn kolmeen keskeiseen tulosteemaan. Tutkimuskysymykset ovat: 1. Millaisia kirjallisuuslähteitä ja teorioita on julkaistu puuhuoltoketjun kolmesta keskeisestä teemasta: psyykkisestä kuormittumisesta, työtuntien määrästä ja naisten tilanteesta? 2. Miten työhyvinvointia voidaan kohentaa puuhuoltoketjussa? Psyykkinen kuormittuminen puuhuoltoketjussa ilmenee useista kirjallisuuslähteistä, havaintoina muun muassa puutteellinen palautuminen työn rasituksista, kiristyneet vaatimukset, alhainen palkkataso ja vähäinen vuorovaikutus. Tarkastelemme psyykkistä kuormittumista puuhuoltoketjussa Siegristin ponnistusten ja palkkioiden mallin sekä työn vaatimusten ja voimavarojen mallin avulla. Kirjallisuuslähteistä ilmenee myös lukuisia metsätaloustyön myönteisiä piirteitä, kuten esimerkiksi teknologian kehittyminen, miellyttävä työympäristö metsässä, työn itsenäinen luonne ja mahdollisuus työhön maaseudulla. Tarkastelemme mahdollisuuksia psyykkisen kuormittumisen haittojen vähentämiseen toimintaympäristön viitekehyksen sekä työllisen stressisuojatekijöiden vahvistamisen avulla. Työn aiheuttamien vaatimusten tulisi olla hallittavia, jotta psyykkiseen kuormittumiseen mahdollisesti liittyvältä terveydentilan ja työkyvyn heikkenemiseltä vältyttäisiin. Puuhuoltoketjussa työpäivät olivat pitkiä. Työtuntien määrän tarkastelussa käymme läpi tekijöitä, jotka voivat voimistaa tai heikentää runsaan työtuntien määrän terveydelle haitallisia vaikutuksia. Runsas työtuntien määrä voi lisätä sydän- ja verisuonisairauksia ja aivohalvauksen riskiä, vaarantaa mielenterveyden ja heikentää työstä palautumista. Työterveyden heikkenemisen estäminen on kustannustehokkaampaa kuin seurausten korjaaminen. Naiset metsätalouden työtehtävissä ovat vähemmistö, sillä vain 19 % metsäsektorin työllisistä oli naisia vuonna 2021. Naisten työhyvinvoinnissa havaittiin monia myönteisiä piirteitä, kuten yleinen tyytyväisyys työhön, kohtalaisen hyvä työkyky ja elintavat sekä maltillinen sairauteen liittyvien poissaolojen määrä. Arviot työtaakan, psyykkisen kuormittumisen ja palautumisen osalta osoittivat kuitenkin heikentynyttä työhyvinvointia. Naisten työhyvinvointia voidaan edistää kehittämällä johtamista sekä varmistamalla työntekijöiden tasapuolinen kohtelu ja vastuiden jakaminen. Työhyvinvoinnista ja työkyvyn säilymisestä huolehtiminen ovat osa metsäsektorin sosiaalista kestävyyttä.

Published: June 2024

This study aims to identify the effect of a virtual reality (VR)-based isolation patient infection control education program on nursing students' infection control knowledge, awareness, and performance confidence. This research design was a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test research design. The participants were 55 nursing students (experimental group 28, control group 27). Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, the independent t-tests, and paired t-tests with SPSS version 27.0. The VR content included hand hygiene, donning and doffing personal protective equipment (PPE), post-exposure prophylaxis of sharps injury, and disposal of medical waste. The experimental group showed significantly improved in infection control knowledge (t=3.117, p=.003) and performance confidence (t=3.059, p=.004) than the control group,. However, after applying the education program, awareness of the control group showed a more significant change. This VR-based isolation patient infection control education program for nursing students can help increase competency in infection control practice.

Authors: Corso Talita Gomes , Ferraz-Almeida Risely
Published: June 2024

The profitability and initial development of potatoes depend on the type of substrate used in planting. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate combinations of substrates for the production of minitubers of potatoes. An experiment was carried out with the combinations of substrates based on sphagnum peat, coconut fiber, rice husks, and expanded vermiculite [TFCV]; and sphagnum peat and expanded vermiculite [TV], in different proportions (100%; 75%; 50%; 25%), with five replications. The treatments were: (i) TFCV100%; (ii) TFCV75%+TV25%; (iii) TFCV50%+TV50%; (iv) TFCV25%+TV75%; and (v) TV100%. At 40 and 70 days after planting (DAP), the development of shoots, tubers, and roots was monitored. Results showed that the isolated application of TV showed the highest production of fresh mass of tubers (93.0 g), and fresh (0.28 g) and dry mass of roots (0.17 g). At 40 DAP, tuber production was highly correlated with the root part (r: 0.77). However, after 70 DAP, tuber production was associated with shoot development (r: 0.66). If is necessary to mix substrates recommend the mixing of TFCV50% + TV50%.

The Bacabi (Oenocarpus mapora Karsten) is an Amazonian palm whose fruit is widely used in the food industry due to its organoleptic properties and excellent nutritional quality. The objective of this work was to estimate genetic parameters and selection gains in the selection of open pollinated bacabi progenies. The experiment was carried out in the district of Campo Limpo, in the municipality of Santo Antônio do Tauá, state of Pará. The study assessed 38 progenies from open‑pollination under an agroforestry system in a randomized block design with five replicates and two plants per plot. At Seventeen, Twenty-four and Thirty months after planting, data were collected on the following traits: stem height (SH), plant diameter (DIAM), number of live leaves (NLL), length of the leaf rachis (LLR), number of leaflet pairs (NLP) and leaflet length (LL). Genetic variety was observed among and within progenies for all evaluated traits. The broad‑sense heritability estimates varied between 0.13 and 72.81%. High values were found for NLP (72.81%), DIAM (52.01%), LLR (62.64%), and SH (66.16%). Selection gains can be achieved for all the traits evaluated, with selection of 30% among progenies and 20% inside progenies.

Published: June 2024

A pesquisa em questão tem como ímpeto avaliar as percepções de profissionais atuantes na equipe multiprofissional frente a fragilização e consequente descontinuação do NASF-AB no município de Iracema/Ceará por consequência da Nota Técnica N° 3/2020 e Portaria N° 2.979. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo se valendo de entrevistas semiestruturadas como instrumento de coleta e contando com a análise do discurso como método de tratamento dos dados. O escrito obteve 07 respondentes vinculados às 06 UBSs dispostas no respectivo território, sendo desenvolvido durante o período de 2019 à 2021. A participação dos profissionais por sua vez foi validada ou descartada através dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, sendo eles respectivamente: vinculação e atuação no NASF-AB durante o recorte temporal definido para a análise, bem como a ausência do profissional no território durante este período. Faz-se importante mencionar a inexistência de dispositivos especializados de atenção em saúde mental em Iracema, à exemplo dos CAPSs, culminando em um cenário ainda mais delicado diante a atenção psicossocial no município. Os resultados obtidos mostraram a grande importância do serviço no território, bem como o surgimento de problemas no cotidiano da atenção básica com o sucateamento do NASF-AB, entre eles a fragilização de práticas de construção e avaliação dos casos, bem como a ênfase dos atendimentos ambulatoriais sobre práticas coletivas.

O crescimento desenfreado dos campos industriais e da construção civil tem provocado impactos ambientais graves, que podem ser amenizados e reparados com o objetivo de conscientizar a população sobre a conservação do meio ambiente. A construção civil tem influência direta nos recursos naturais e, por isso, é um assunto a ser estudado para melhorar a qualidade de vida. A Construção Sustentável tem sido foco de muitos estudos devido à preocupação global em relação ao ambiente. Os contêineres de carga são um material versátil para uso em variadas aplicações. Devido ao seu baixo custo, durabilidade, construção rápida, portabilidade e facilidade de montagem, eles são amplamente utilizados para construir casas pós-desastre, operações militares e residências convencionais. Estas estruturas são vistas como alternativa de arquitetura sustentável, pois são recicláveis, mas a grande maioria acaba sendo descartada em depósitos portuários mesmo com tempo de vida útil não esgotado, pois o envio de volta ao local de origem é mais caro do que a compra de um novo. O objetivo geral foi descrever a eficiência da habitação por contêiner, tendo em vista o desenvolvimento sustentável. Este estudo foi realizado através de uma revisão integrativa. Os resultados indicam que essa construção é rápida, limpa e sustentável, diminuindo a quantidade de resíduos de construção civil e impactante menos o ambiente.

As drogas vasoativas têm efeitos diretos e indiretos nos sistemas vascular e Cardiopulmonar. Por apresentarem respostas diferentes a depender da dose administrada, é necessário supervisão hemodinâmica para realização da mobilização precoce. Objetivo: Identificar os efeitos das drogas vasoativas diante a mobilização precoce. Metodologia: A coleta de dados foi feita pelas bases de dados PubMed, MedLine e Cochrane Library. Sendo um total de 69 artigos entre as bases de dados citadas acima, totalizando uma amostra final de 5 artigos. Resultados: Dentre os estudos incluídos nessa revisão, um estudo de coorte; uma revisão sistemática, um estudo observacional analítico, um estudo de coorte retrospectivo. Conclusão: Com base nos estudos, é possível observar que a mobilização precoce é indicada para pacientes em uso de drogas vasoativas admitidos na UTI, sendo necessário a monitorização do paciente. Quanto maior a dose administrada, mais dificuldade o profissional terá para executar a mobilização precoce.

Este artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre a relação entre as práticas de comunicação integrada nas universidades públicas e a aplicação do princípio da publicidade, tendo em vista o fortalecimento da relação dessas instituições com a sociedade. Foi adotada como metodologia, neste estudo, a revisão de literatura narrativa. No decorrer do trabalho são discutidas temáticas que envolvem o princípio da publicidade como a Accountability e a Transparência Ativa. Também é ponderado sobre o conceito de Comunicação Integrada e Estratégica e os possíveis pontos de interseção entre esta abordagem comunicativa e o princípio da publicidade, além de discutir como as práticas comunicacionais estratégicas, a exemplo da definição de uma política de comunicação, podem auxiliar as Universidades Públicas a terem uma transparência ativa, promovendo também a sua Accountability.
Diálogo pertinente em Educação Ambiental para Ambientes Complexos

Published: June 2024

O presente estudo, aponta uma análise a partir da dissertação de mestrado intitulada “as áreas de preservação ambiental do município de Criciúma: um estudo sobre sua importância e utilização como referência à educação ambiental”. Onde o autor descreve a intensidade que a degradação vem atingindo os seres humanos, apontando o trabalho desenvolvido com EA como evasivo e equivocado, não suprindo as necessidades que a problemática ambiental requer. Dessa forma, a partir dos discursos presentes sob à luz de autores como Edgar Morin, Fritjof Capra, Paulo Freire, Moacir Gadotti, apontamos reflexões no que tange as relações estabelecidas com o meio ambiente e os paradigmas construídos a partir das diferentes visões que são construídas ao longo da vida e reproduzidas socialmente como verdades, que modelam diretamente as atitudes dos sujeitos enquanto gestores, membros da sociedade e educadores.

Neste trabalho buscamos fazer a análise da dimensão do discurso político de teses e dissertações sobre educação ambiental a partir da teoria de análise do discurso de Bakhtin. O corpus desta pesquisa é composto por teses e dissertações, produzidas no ano de 2016 em diferentes universidades estaduais e federais do Brasil e este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a partir do contexto educacional, como o discurso atribui o conceito e a contextualização ao termo “crise” e, por fim, expor a dimensão do discurso político inculcado nas teses. A análise foi feita a partir da teoria de dialogismo de Bakhtin e configuramos a pesquisa considerando o modo com o qual os conceitos estão colocados e expressados nas teses analisadas. Com a conclusão da pesquisa buscamos entender como os vieses políticos estão colocados nas produções científicas sobre educação ambiental e como elas afetam a produção científica na área de educação ambiental.

Así, el paradigma del Conocimiento Didáctico del Contenido (CDC) puede brindar bases de una didáctica para enseñar contenidos ambientalizados que, por su carácter epistemológico, sean pertinentes para el diseño microcurricular. Este artículo caracteriza al CDC y a la didáctica ambiental desde la enseñanza de las ciencias en el surgimiento del contenido ambientalizado y del Conocimiento Didáctico del Contenido Ambientalizado: CDC-A.
A Voz Interna: Por que Falamos com Nós Mesmos?
Authors: Martins Antônia Georgina Machado , Silva Mary Lee Santos
Published: June 2024

O presente trabalho propõe pensar sobre a voz interna:porque falamos com nós mesmos, focando em analisar a nossa experiência como sujeitos falantes, vivenciando os desafios de tempos difíceis e os temores inerentes a um contexto social atravessado por ataques à existência e à condição humana, experimentando esta fonte de autoconhecimento capaz de nos proporcionar instrumentos para manejar e melhorar o nosso bem-estar integral, pois a fala interna aumenta a nossa “aptidão” para a sobrevivência e sua influência, muitas vezes, sutil, pode não ser percebida pela consciência, no bem que nos faz.

Introducción. Dada la complejidad y costos para determinar el porcentaje de grasa corporal en humanos, se busca establecer nuevas fórmulas para determinar esta variable. La ecuación CUN-BAE usa indicadores simples como sexo e índice de masa corporal (IMC) para estimar el porcentaje de grasa corporal. El objetivo fue determinar el grado de correlación entre el porcentaje de grasa corporal, obtenido mediante ecuación CUN-BAE, IMC y circunferencia de cintura (CC) en adultos chilenos pertenecientes a la muestra de los participantes de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud (ENS) 2016-2017.
Metodología. Se incluyeron 5.583 participantes de la ENS 2016-2017, en quienes se obtuvieron medidas antropométricas para determinar IMC, estado nutricional y CC. Se determinó el porcentaje de masa grasa según la ecuación CUN-BAE. La correlación entre IMC, CC y CUN-BAE se analizó mediante el coeficiente de correlación de Pearson (r).
Resultados. El IMC y el porcentaje de masa grasa según ecuación CUN-BAE presentaron una fuerte correlación tanto en hombres (r=0,924, p<0.0001) como en mujeres (r=0,929, p<0.0001). Las mujeres presentaron una correlación más alta entre CUN-BAE e IMC y CC que los hombres. En el caso de la correlación entre CC y porcentaje de masa grasa corporal según CUN-BAE también se logró observar una fuerte correlación tanto para hombres (r=0,817, p<0.0001) como mujeres (r=0,812, p<0.0001).
Conclusión. La ecuación CUN-BAE para determinar el porcentaje de grasa corporal presenta una fuerte correlación con respecto a IMC y CC. Se requieren de otras investigaciones que evalúen la capacidad predictora de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles de CUN-BAE en población chilena.
