Abstract. Satellite-based observations of carbon dioxide (CO2) are sensitive to all processes that affect the propagation of radiation in the atmosphere, including scattering and absorption by atmospheric aerosols. Therefore, accurate retrievals of column-averaged CO2 (XCO2) benefit from detailed information on the aerosol conditions. This is particularly relevant for future missions focusing on observing anthropogenic CO2 emissions, such as the Copernicus Anthropogenic CO2 Monitoring mission (CO2M). To fully prepare for CO2M observations, it is informative to investigate existing observations in addition to other approaches. Our focus here is on observations from the NASA Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) mission. In the operational full-physics XCO2 retrieval used to generate OCO-2 level 2 products, the aerosol properties are known to have high uncertainty, but their main objective is to facilitate CO2 retrievals. We evaluate the OCO-2 product from the point of view of aerosols by comparing the OCO-2-retrieved aerosol properties to collocated Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua Dark Target aerosol products. We find that there is a systematic difference between the aerosol optical depth (AOD, τ) values retrieved by the two instruments such that τOCO-2∼0.4τMODIS. A similar difference is found when comparing OCO-2 with the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). This results in 16.5 % of cases being misclassified as low AOD (good quality) by the OCO-2 quality filtering. We also find a dependence of the XCO2 on the AOD difference, indicating an aerosol-induced effect in the XCO2 retrieval. Furthermore, comparing with the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON), we find a small AOD-dependent bias in XCO2. In addition, we find a weak but statistically significant correlation between MODIS AOD and XCO2, which can be partly explained by natural covariance and co-emission of aerosols and CO2. Due to the co-emission, using an AOD threshold in the quality filtering leads to a sampling bias, where high XCO2 values are more often removed. To mitigate the effect of this on the anthropogenic CO2 emission monitoring, we investigate the effect of the AOD threshold on the fraction of acceptable XCO2 data. We find that relaxing the MODIS AOD threshold from 0.2 to 0.5, which is the goal for the CO2M, increases the fraction of acceptable data by 14 percentage points globally and by 31 percentage points for urban areas.

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Public granaries served as key infrastructure to improve food security in agrarian societies. Their history dates to the oldest complex societies, but they experienced a boom period during the 18th and early 19th centuries in Europe. In Bohemia and Moravia (modern-day Czech Republic), numerous granaries were established by decree in 1788 to provide serfs with grain for sowing in the face of fluctuating weather. Here, we analyse granary data from 15 out of a total of 17 considered domains in the Sušice region (southwestern Bohemia) from 1789 to 1849 CE. We use the documented annual values of grain borrowed by serfs, their grain depositions, total grain storage, and the total debt of serfs at the end of the year as proxies for harvest quality and size. Based on the series of these four variables, we calculate weighted grain indices, considering the balance between borrowed and returned grain: a weighted bad harvest index (WBHI), a weighted good harvest index (WGHI), a weighted stored grain index (WSGI: WSGI−, more borrowed than returned; WSGI+, more returned than borrowed), and a weighted serf debt index (WSDI: WSDI+, more borrowed than returned grain; WSDI−, more returned than borrowed grain). WBHI, WSGI−, and WSDI+ were used to select years of extremely bad harvests, while WGHI, WSGI+, and WSDI− were used to identify years of extremely good harvests. We tested selected extreme harvest years against documentary weather data and reconstructed temperature, precipitation, and drought series from the Czech Lands. We discuss the uncertainty in the data and the broader context of the results obtained. The findings document the potential of this new methodology using widely available public granary data as proxies for historical climatological research.
Assessing economic impacts of future GLOFs in Nepal’s Everest region under different SSP scenarios using three-dimensional simulations
Authors: Furian Wilhelm , Sauter Tobias
Published: February 2025

Abstract. This study investigates simulated glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) at five glacial lakes in the Everest region of Nepal using the three-dimensional model OpenFOAM. It presents the evolution of GLOF characteristics in the 21st century considering different moraine breach scenarios and two Shared Socioeconomic Pathways scenarios. The results demonstrate that in low-magnitude scenarios, the five lakes generate GLOFs that inundate between 0.35 and 2.23 km2 of agricultural land with an average water depth of 0.9 to 3.58 meters. These GLOFs reach distances of 59 to 84 km, affect 30 to 88 km of roads, and inundate 183 to 1,699 buildings with 1.2 to 4.9 m of water. In higher scenarios, GLOFs can extend over 100 km and also affect larger settlements in the foothills. Between 80 and 100 km of roads, between 735 and 1,989 houses and between 0.85 and 3.52 km2 of agricultural land could be inundated, with average water depths of up to 10 meters. The high precision of the 3D flood modeling, with detailed simulations of turbulence and viscosity, provides valuable insights into 21st-century GLOF evolution, supporting more accurate risk assessments and effective adaptation strategies.

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Within hydrological modelling, a persistent notion exists that a model is a neutral, objective tool. However, this notion has several, potentially harmful, consequences, such as marginalising certain stakeholders. In the critical social sciences, the non-neutrality in methods and research results is an established topic of debate. Thus we propose that in order to deal with it in hydrological modelling, the hydrological modelling network can learn from, and with, critical social sciences. This is a call for responsible modelling – modelling that is accountable, transparent, power-sensitive, situated and reproducible and this responsibility is carried by all actors related to the modelling study. To support our proposition, we have four pillars of arguments, detailing the social aspects in hydrological modelling, insights from the critical social sciences, how to build bridges between sciences, and reflecting on what the hydrological modelling network can learn. We provide several actionable recommendations as a follow-up. The main take-away, from our perspective, is that responsible modelling is a shared responsibility. Therefore, we invite all actors – from the modelling network (from commissioner to modeller to end-user) and society – to take up their share in establishing responsible modelling.
Impact of wheat cultivar development on biomass production and carbon input in tillage-eroded soils
Authors: Pires Barbosa Luis Alfredo , Leue Martin , Wehrhan Marc , Sommer Michael
Published: February 2025

Abstract. Crop biomass, especially from belowground, improves soil health and recovery. However, the effects of cultivar traits and tillage erosion on biomass production, particularly root biomass, remain unclear. We quantified root system characteristics throughout the wheat growing season, considering different cultivars and varying soil erosion gradients. This data informed a model assessing cultivar performance on root biomass production under different soil water and erosion scenarios. Tillage erosion reduced total wheat biomass, leaving 3.2 tons less carbon per hectare annually. Recently developed cultivars produced 70 % more grain in depositional soils and 30 % more in highly eroded soils than earlier cultivars. However, this increased grain yield came with a trade-off: carbon input into soil decreased by 32 % in eroded soils and 43 % in depositional soils. Simulations reveal recently developed cultivars are more sensitive to drying soils, which received 12 kg C ha-1 less than those with earlier cultivars over the five years.

Abstract. Although organic aerosols (OA) have important impacts on climate, environment, and health, research on OA in Sichuan Basin, one of the heavily polluted areas in China, is still scarce. In this study, the PM2.5 were collected during winter 2023 in Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan Province, and analyzed for organic compounds using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The total average concentration of 125 organic compounds was 2013.4 ± 902.4 ng m−3 (mean ± standard deviation), and they were dominated by fatty acids (28.9 %), phthalate esters (28.4 %), and anhydrosugars (18.0 %). Anthropogenic sources such as fossil fuel and biomass burning were the main sources of aliphatic lipids. Softwood burning was the main source of anhydrosugars. Although both are related to the aging of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), oxygenated PAHs and phthalic acids demonstrated different generation mechanisms. The isoprene secondary OA (SOA) tracers were strongly affected by NOx, relative humidity, and aerosol acidity. Biomass burning was an important source of biogenic SOA tracers. Tracer-based methods revealed that anthropogenic sources (11.6 %), β-caryophyllene (11.0 %), and biomass burning (10.0 %) were important sources of organic carbon (OC). Positive matrix factorization (PMF) analysis demonstrated that secondary formation (22.2 %) was the greatest source of OC, followed by dust (20.4 %), vehicular emissions (17.6 %), plastic related sources (17.4 %), biomass burning (11.3 %), coal combustion (6.2 %), and primary biogenic emissions (5.0 %). As pollution worsened, the proportions of secondary inorganic species and secondary OC in PM2.5 increased substantially; PMF analyses indicated that OC increase was caused mainly by secondary formation and biomass burning.

The article discusses different periods of Armenian literature of the 20th century and the trends of literary development at the beginning of the 21st century. In general, the literature of the previous century was distinguished by a consistent effort to break away from traditional constraints. Hrant Matevosyan's contribution was significant here because he overcame the two most important crises that appeared in Soviet and post-modern literature: the crisis of rationalist interpretation of reality and the use of the Bakhtinian method as a way out in the absence of cultural fluidity and a unified code in post-modern literature.

The Role of Financial Inclusion to Enhance Social Progress in Developed and Developing Countries
Authors: Shahid Sara , Asghar Nabila
Published: February 2025

This study examines the role of financial inclusion in enhancing the social progress of developed and developing economies. Social progress is a key indicator of a country's development. It captures a range of factors that shape the well-being of the economy. Therefore, financial inclusion promotes social progress through financial resources. This study uses a sample of 32 developed and 18 developing countries from 2000 to 2023. The econometric approach Panel Quantile Autoregressive Distributed Lag (PQARDL) model is used to investigate the short and long-term impact among the variables. The results of the study show that financial inclusion and strong institutions positively impact Social Progress (SP) in developed countries while industrialization, population growth and transportation has negative impact on it. On the contrary, in developing countries, financial inclusion, institutions, population growth, and industrialization have a positive impact on SP while transportation harms it. The study suggests that developing countries need to promote financial literacy, strengthen governance, support green industrialization, improve sustainable transport, and control high population growth. While, developed economies should focus on financial product diversification, policy reform in healthcare and education, promote sustainable practices, and managing demographic changes.

This study aimed to analyze the Gross and Net Non-Performing Assets (NPAs) of District Central Cooperative Banks (DCCBs) in Andhra Pradesh. The study covered three DCCBs, namely Chittoor, Krishna, and Srikakulam, over a period of 10 years (2012-2022). The study found significant differences in the Gross and Net NPAs of the three DCCBs. Chittoor DCCB had the highest mean Gross NPA to Agricultural Advances, while Srikakulam DCCB had the highest mean Gross NPA to Non-Agricultural Advances. The study also found that Srikakulam DCCB had the highest mean Net NPA to Non-Agricultural Advances. The findings of the study suggest that DCCBs need to strengthen their credit appraisal and monitoring processes to reduce NPAs. The study's results have implications for policymakers, regulators, and managers of DCCBs.
EMPOWERING JOURNEYS: THE SELF-DISCOVERY OF SINGLE MOTHERS
Authors: Shivaniben G. Kansara, Christina Parmar
Published: February 2025

The death of the spouse caused the family to become disjointed, and as a result, the wife was responsible for the upbringing of their children on her own. In the most recent decades, there has been a considerable rise in the number of cases involving divorce, which is the formal dissolution of a marriage, as well as other marital concerns. A large amount of influence is exerted on the raising of their children, if and when applicable. When it comes to providing their children with moral support and direction in terms of discipline, it may appear that single mothers have a heavier load to carry. Both couples are impacted by the separation, but the woman is more likely to experience the emotional agony and dissatisfaction. She faces a number of obstacles, such as the disapproval of society and the stigma associated with being a "single mother," as she strives to achieve independence for both herself and her kid. The social milieu that a single mother encounters in rural locations is very different from the one that she encounters in metropolitan settings. There is a significant impact on the status of single mothers brought about by the prevalent societal customs and ambitions around the establishment of families. It is the purpose of this study to investigate and compare the social and economic circumstances of single mothers living in urban and rural areas simultaneously.

Objective: It is aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of Dexmedetomidine (DEX), which has antioxidant, antiapoptotic, anti-inflammatory properties, in acute carbon monoxide toxicity.
Material and Method: 28 Wistar-Albino female rats were randomly divided into four groups as control, Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, CO poisoning + DEX and DEX only. The rats in the study groups were exposed to 3000 ppm CO for 30 minutes. DEX was administered half an hour after the onset of CO exposure. At the end of the experiment, blood and tissue samples were taken from the sacrificed rats. Bcl-2 Immunopositively cell values in tissue samples taken from prefrontal and hippocampal areas were scored by examining immune expressions of Bcl-2 antibodies obtained by immunohistochemical method under light microscope. Malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), asymmetric dimethylarginine ADMA levels, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) activity values were measured from blood and right hemisphere brain tissue samples by biochemical methods.
Results: CAT, SOD, MDA, ADMA and NO values were statistically different between the experimental groups (p0.05). CAT, SOD and NO, and Bcl-2 immunosuppressive cell levels were decreased in the CO group compared to the control group (p
Staging Gallium-68 DOTATATE PET/CT Imaging in Neuroendocrine Tumors: Relationship between Measured SUVmax of the Primary Tumor and the Pathological Grade and Ki-67 Proliferation Index
Authors: Vural Topuz Özge , Büyüktalancı Emin
Published: February 2025

Objective: To determine whether the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of the primary lesion measured via Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT imaging can be used to predict histological grade and Ki-67 proliferation index in treatment-naïve neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).
Material and Method: A total of 57 patients diagnosed with NET who underwent Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT between January 2021 and April 2024 were retrospectively evaluated. Patient data including age, histopathology, primary tumor localization, tumor size, Ki-67 proliferation index, histological grade, and SUVmax values from the same tumor were recorded. Histological grades 2 and 3 were pooled into a single group (grade 2&3).
Results: The mean age was 49.44 ± 17.20 years. The most common biopsy locations were the liver (28.07%), stomach (21.05%), and pancreas (19.30%). Median Ki-67 proliferation index was 5 (interquartile range: 2–8). Grade 1 tumors were present in 19 patients (33.33%), grade 2 tumors in 35 patients (61.40%), and grade 3 tumors in 3 patients (5.26%). The SUVmax values were positively correlated with tumor size and Ki-67 proliferation index, and Ki-67 proliferation index was positively correlated with tumor size and mitotic count. Patients with grade 2&3 tumors had significantly higher SUVmax values and were older compared to those with grade 1 tumors. For predicting grade 2&3 tumors, the SUVmax value had an area under the ROC curve value of 0.669 (95% CI: 0.526–0.811, p=0.039), which yielded an overall accuracy of 64.91%, with 57.89% sensitivity, 78.95% specificity, 84.62% positive predictive value, and 48.39% negative predictive value, at a cut-off value of >12.5.
Conclusion: Initial Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/CT imaging in NETs demonstrated that the SUVmax value of the primary lesion is positively correlated with Ki-67 proliferation index. A maximum standardized uptake value threshold of >12.5 g/ml was shown to distinguish grade 2&3 tumors at an early stage with high positive predictive value.

Published: February 2025

Organic agriculture is the most important source of healthy food for the population, as well as a real solution against environmental pollution. Practicing organic agriculture represents a concrete opportunity and a real chance for rural economies, contributing to sustainable development. The purpose of this paper is to present the dynamics of the operators and surfaces in organic agriculture, in the period 2018-2023 in Romania. The data collected for the studied interval show that the total areas used in organic agriculture in Romania have increased constantly, from 326259.51 ha in 2018 to 693998.31 ha in 2023. Among the cultivated areas, the largest were occupied with cereals, followed by those with industrial and fodder plants. A spectacular increase is observed in the areas of pastures and hays, more than four times in the analyzed interval. Also, the number of operators certified in organic agriculture showed a constant increase during the analyzed period, starting from 9008 operators in 2018 and reaching 14061 operators in 2023. It can be stated that the ecologically cultivated area in Romania has registered a slight revival considering that by the percentage of certified areas is far below the EU average.
Prensa escrita, publicity y desinformación: “curas milagro”, un problema de comunicación en salud y responsabilidad social de los medios

Published: February 2025

En esta sociedad sobreinformada, resulta preocupante el recurso a técnicas de relaciones públicas, como son la publicity, la organización de eventos o los lobbies en temas que afectan a la salud pública. Estas técnicas son eficaces para comercializar productos farmacéuticos, aunque cuestionables éticamente, según la intencionalidad del emisor. La difusión de la información en el ámbito de la salud y promoción de medicamentos requiere especial cuidado, pues puede generar falsas expectativas y serias consecuencias para la salud pública. Los laboratorios farmacéuticos, ante las restricciones legales, buscan nuevas formas de llegar a su audiencia usando los medios de comunicación con fines comerciales, lo que contradice sus políticas de responsabilidad social y cuestiona su compromiso informativo. Recientemente, informaciones sobre la semaglutida, como vía para perder peso, han generado dudas sobre la confianza en su contenido. La obesidad es un desafío sanitario importante, influido por el estilo de vida sedentario, la tecnología y el estigma social. Los medios, instados por los laboratorios, presentan los medicamentos como objetos de consumo y al paciente en su público objetivo. El análisis de los resultados vislumbra una panorámica crítica sobre el tratamiento informativo en los medios de comunicación del fármaco de moda, la semaglutida, que atiende a un serio problema sanitario de las sociedades modernas. Los datos apuntan también a la necesidad de un contexto informativo más amplio y de una mayor alfabetización mediática de la ciudadanía para evitar falsas expectativas y riesgos potenciales para la salud pública. Se reabre el debate sobre la responsabilidad de los medios, de los comunicadores y se pone el foco en la influencia de técnicas de relaciones públicas, así como en la necesidad de un periodismo más ético y responsable en el ámbito de la salud para proteger a la ciudadanía de información engañosa.

Ganadería, población y ambiente en una región serrana: Sonora, México (1880-1980)
Authors: Padilla Calderón Esther
Published: February 2025

La ganadería en Sonora ha experimentado grandes cambios desde la Colonia. La especie vacuna que se reprodujo hasta la primera mitad del siglo XX, el criollo, prácticamente ha desaparecido, al ser reemplazada por especies con atributos genéticos muy distintos, cuya reproducción en un territorio árido y semiárido ha tenido impactos negativos en el medio ambiente. Los datos analizados permiten advertir cambios en larga duración en la forma de relacionarse los pequeños ganaderos con el agostadero, la forma de entender sus características y sostenibilidad. También se advierten variaciones en los coeficientes de agostadero y en la precipitación, fundamental para el crecimiento de pastos. Estos procesos de cambio ambiental se estudian en un territorio constituido por localidades de baja densidad demográfica, situadas junto a un curso de agua superficial cuya presencia ha favorecido su desarrollo. En las abruptas montañas y cordilleras que dan cauce al río afloran y escurren manantiales y arroyos que junto a otros elementos geográficos forman el ecosistema donde ha tenido lugar la ganadería serrana.
The Reimaging of Hindu Mythology: A study of Naga Myth in ‘The Secret of the Nagas’
Authors: Navaneetham N. , Arun Dr. C.
Published: February 2025

This paper explores Amish Tripathi’s novel The Secret of the Nagas (2011), which reinterprets the Hindu myth of the Nagas. As the second book in Tripathi's Shiva Trilogy, it blends elements of modern fantasy with insights from the ancient text Shivapurana, using mythology to address contemporary issues. In this installment, the protagonist, Shiva, embarks on a crucial journey to uncover the reality of the Nagas. In Hindu mythology, Nagas are traditionally depicted as serpents. However, in Tripathi’s narrative, they represent individuals with physical deformities who are deemed inauspicious by the inhabitants of the Sapt-Sindhu region. As a result, they face social exclusion and are compelled to live along the banks of the Narmada River, with Panchavati serving as the capital of their territory, Nagaland. Through the Shiva Trilogy, Tripathi examines the deep-rooted beliefs of the Hindu community, highlighting their intricate connections with the societal laws and norms of that era.

O gênero Monteverdia, pertencente à família Celastraceae, inclui diversas espécies vegetais com potencial terapêutico. Estudos recentes têm revelado atividades farmacológicas promissoras associadas a este gênero, incluindo propriedades gastroprotetoras e atividade larvicida contra o Aedes aegypti. A metodologia adotada seguiu o protocolo utilizado por Meyer et al. (1982) no qual determina a DL₅₀, que é a concentração letal capaz de causar a morte de 50% dos náuplios de Artemia franciscana exposta aos extratos e frações, A. franciscana é um microcrustáceo usado em bioensaios de produtos naturais devido à sua sensibilidade a diversas substâncias expostas. Os extratos e frações foram obtidos por maceração dos frutos secos em etanol 70°GL e fracionados em solventes de diferentes polaridades (hexano, clorofórmio e acetato de etila) para isolar compostos com diferentes características químicas. A solução salina para eclosão dos cistos de A. franciscana foi preparada com 35 g.L⁻¹ de sal marinho. Os cistos foram incubados sob agitação e iluminação constantes até a eclosão dos náuplios, que foram então expostos a diferentes concentrações dos extratos e frações (10 a 1000 µg·mL⁻¹), com 1% de DMSO como controle negativo e sulfato de quinidina como controle positivo. Após 24 horas, a toxicidade foi avaliada pela contagem dos náuplios vivos e mortos, com análise estatística realizada pelo método Probit no software SPSS. Os resultados indicaram DL₅₀ superiores a 1000 µg·mL⁻¹ para todos os extratos e frações testados. Portanto, os extratos e frações não demonstraram toxicidade significativa frente ao modelo utilizado, sugerindo a segurança do uso do fruto dessa planta como potencial bioativo.

O tahine é um alimento feito a partir de sementes de gergelim moídas e tostadas, que apresenta-se como condimento em diversas preparações culinárias. As sementes de gergelim são ricas em ácidos graxos essenciais, apresentam propriedades antioxidantes e anti-inflamatórias e conteúdo de cálcio elevado  sendo essa preparação proposta como alimento ou suplementação para a população idosa e mulheres no climatério. Neste trabalho foram realizadas análises da composição centesimal, química e nutricional do tahine caseiro. Dos componentes majoritários:   lipídios (39,14%), proteínas (23,78%), fibras (19,03%), carboidratos (14,24%); além de umidade (1,03%) e minerais, como o cálcio (402,06 mg.100 g-1). Entre os resultados o teor de umidade obtido foi menor devido ao pré-processamento. Os valores de proteínas e lipídeos foram muito semelhantes aos de literatura. Já os valores de carboidratos e minerais foram discrepantes com a literatura, sendo o de minerais abaixo do esperado. O teor de cálcio obtido foi dentro do esperado. Vale destacar o alto conteúdo de fibras, acima dos valores encontrados em literatura e de alguns produtos encontrados no mercado. Assim, os resultados indicam que o Tahine avaliado é nutritivo, apresentam propriedades funcionais e constituem boa fonte de fibras e cálcio.

Este estudo investigou a relação entre o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas e a ocorrência de acidentes de trânsito no município de Paraíso do Tocantins, no período de 2019 a 2023. O objetivo foi identificar padrões que envolvam o uso inadequado de álcool em acidentes atendidos pelo Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (SAMU). Trata-se de uma pesquisa epidemiológica, observacional e descritiva, baseada em dados coletados de relatórios do SAMU, seguindo as normas éticas estabelecidas (CAAE 67045422.4.0000.5518). Das 7.135 ocorrências registradas, 765 eram acidentes automobilísticos; 262 (34,2%) envolveram motoristas alcoolizados, 455 (59,5%) estavam sóbrios e 48 (6,3%) sem registro. O perfil predominante dos motoristas alcoolizados foi de homens (78,6%) com idades entre 21-31 anos. Embora a maioria dos acidentes registrados (59,5%) não tenha relação com o consumo de álcool, o percentual significativo de motoristas embriagados (34,2%) destaca a necessidade de intervenções preventivas. É urgente a implementação de políticas públicas focadas na conscientização e fiscalização, especialmente direcionadas ao público masculino jovem, para reduzir os acidentes e suas consequências no trânsito.

A crescente geração de resíduos orgânicos em instituições de ensino apresenta desafios para sua destinação adequada, tornando essencial a busca por soluções sustentáveis. A compostagem é uma alternativa viável, porém, a eficiência desse processo pode ser aprimorada com o uso de biocatalisadores, que aceleram a decomposição e otimizam a qualidade do composto. Portanto o objetivo foi avaliar a influência da adição de biocatalisadores no processo de compostagem de resíduos orgânicos gerados em um restaurante escolar, comparando os parâmetros químicos do composto final produzido. A pesquisa foi conduzida no Laboratório de Sustentabilidade (ECOLAB), onde foram montadas 12 leiras de compostagem, seis com a adição de fezes de equinos, bovinos e caprinos como biocatalisadores e seis sem adição, para efeito de controle. O método de compostagem adotado foi o sistema de leiras "Windrow", com revolvimento periódico para otimizar a aeração e umidade da pilha. Os parâmetros químicos do composto foram analisados e comparados estatisticamente. Os resultados indicaram que a adição de biocatalisadores influenciou positivamente a retenção de matéria orgânica e a estabilização do pH. O biocatalisador caprino destacou-se por proporcionar maiores concentrações de potássio no composto. No entanto, para parâmetros como fósforo e capacidade de troca catiônica (CTC), não foram observadas diferenças significativas. Conclui-se que uso de biocatalisadores pode melhorar a eficiência da compostagem e a qualidade do composto, sendo uma alternativa viável para o manejo sustentável de resíduos orgânicos.

People with dyslexia experience educational difficulties, and few technical resources have been developed to help them. It is essential to create learning resources for people with dyslexia that can also be used by people with reading difficulties. The idea is to develop an information technology resource that allows people with dyslexia to be included in the educational environment, strengthening their reading and text comprehension skills. This work proposes a technological tool consisting of a robot, a board with symbols, and an application to move the Robot to be used to help people with dyslexia of any age improve their reading and comprehension of texts. This development was based on the theory that people with dyslexia adapt better to teaching methods focusing on three-dimensionality, movement, and spatial perception. This resource is intended to be applied alongside inclusive didactic-pedagogical methods for school and professional environments, always focusing on people with dyslexia.
